It has been along time since Park City has been the host of a major alpine ski event like the Spring Series, and had an enthusiastic sponsor like APCO Oil. The races were excellent competitions for U.S. Ski Team members, Canadian National team and all divisional divi-sional teams that were represented at the race. Much time and effort must be put into an event like this and without help from the community success would not be possible. Thanks to the Park City Resort for a ballpark to play in and, of course, all employees employ-ees that worked so hard to see we had a good race. Laura Thomas for her help in registration and general off the hill preparation all the smiling faces in the offices that made it a pleasureable atmosphere to work in. Tracy Zweig for her assistance in the ticket office. Bud Workman for his super cat like reflexes on the hill. Bud was a key man in preparing all our hills and keeping them in good shape through the event, plus keeping supplies on the hill as they were needed. Mel Fletcher and Mountain Bell (Ernie Anderson) kept a tight line on our communication communica-tion system and spent many hours stringing and testing communication and timing wires to insure no problems. The Park City Ski Patrol for their help in setting up the safety of the event which is very important. Thanks, Bill Plummer to you and your crew. Phil Jones, Craig Badami, Loren Larson, And More To the friends of the U.S. Ski Team: The words "Thank you" barely express the amount of appreciation and the degree to which we value you, our friends, who helped in so many ways to make the Second Annual Jill St. JohnPaul Masson Celebrity Invitational Benefiting the U.S. Ski Team a success.

The day-long workshop focused on the vital environmental issues which face the state of Utah. The members of the committee commit-tee were hit with rapid firings of statistics, boundaries, boundar-ies, acts, regulations, projects, pro-jects, agencies, etc. in what amounted to a most in-depth and stimulating environmental environ-mental meeting. The workshop was divided into four discussion groups of 50 minutes. The four areas of concentration were: 1. the Wilderness Act-the Uintas and Lone Peak, conducted by Dick Carter, Utah's Representative for the Wilderness Wild-erness Society; 2. Wild Rivers, conducted by Verne Huser of the Western River Guides; 3. Utah's Natural Resources-IPP, Kaiparo-wits, Kaiparo-wits, etc., conducted by Jan Johnson of the Utah Environmental Environ-mental Center and Mary Belle Bloch of the Environmental Environ-mental Defense Fund; and 4. the BLM, lead by Larry Royser, a former BLM employee. Chamlber Made Submitted by Park City Chamber of Commerce Art Festival Executive Committee Plans for the 1977 Arts Festival to be held in Park City August 13-21 have gotten got-ten underway with the first meeting of the jury at the Kimball Arts Center April 16. A qualified jury, composed . of eight local Park City residents, will be responsible for judging all work submitted submit-ted by artists throughout the country, thereby determining deter-mining which applicants will be represented. 1977 marks the eighth consecutive con-secutive year of the festival. Each year the event . has gained in popularity and reputation and this year's program promises to be the How About It? What are your plans for this summer? Craig Schneckloth - Whereas most resort folks take a break between seasons, I'll continue to hit it hard straight through till 1979 and then take a few days off and relax. Jeannine Wait - iWjust going to hang out and play as many games as I can. Jeff McGilvery - I'm going to ride my motorcycle, motor-cycle, camp at the girl scout lake, play tennis, get into soccer, and be the same old Jeff McGilvery. JeffLamont - I'm going to the desert in Southern Utah for part of the summer and the rest of the time I'll be riding my motorcycle and just messing around. John Rusconi - Play some sports, pour concrete, con-crete, drink and give up drugs. Jeff Carter - I'm going to dig a lot of holes, make some money, play softball and drink a lot of beer. Wilderness Society Save Lone Peak Enthusiastic but concerned, Dick Carter began his talk with an Edward Abbey quote: "Wilderness needs no defense; it just needs defenders." defend-ers." This pretty well sums up the plight of Lone Peak, the spectacular neighboring alpine stretch of the Wasatch where White Pine Canyon, Red Pine Canyon, Bells Canyon, etc., are situated. Before a primitive or natural natu-ral area can be classified "wilderness" and protected by the Federal government, a study must be submitted and a bill passed by Congress. Con-gress. Although Lone Peak is one of the major primitive areas readily accessible and widely used by the residents of the Wasatch Front, the Forest Service is reluctant to designate Lone Peak as a wilderness area and thus serve as the Wilderness Act dictates "to protect the values of wilderness." Although the area in dispute encompasses a mere 33,50ft acres, Lone Peak provides the Salt Lake Valley with one of its major quality water sources. Wilderness designation designa-tion would provide Forest largest yet. Last year's total applicants numbered under 400. This year's inquiries already exceed 600. In a continuing effort to upgrade the festival, the jury has established three main objectives. Primary emphasis will be placed on setting a high standard of quality and craftsmanship so that the exhibited art will not only illustrate the best work of the individual artist, but will represent some of the best contemporary art in the country. The festival will also serve as an educational experience for both the participating par-ticipating artist and public and will be designed to encourage en-courage the increasing interest in-terest in Utah for the ; professional production and purchase of art works. To ahcieve these goals, the , '77 program has been expanded ex-panded to include nine days of intensive activities in the arts, prior to the artists' exhibition on Main St. August 20 and 21. Presentations Presen-tations and workshops in dance, drama and music will be featured. All inquiries for the Arts Festival should be directed to the Chamber of Commerce, Commer-ce, 649-8899.

Section 2 of the Wilderness Act defines a wilderness area as one "where the natural community of life is untrammeled by man . ..an undeveloped Federal land retaining its primeval character char-acter and influence without permanent improvements.... and managed so as to preserve its natural condi-tions....which condi-tions....which offers outstanding out-standing opportunity for solitude soli-tude or unconfined types of recreation and ecological, geological, or other features of scientific, educational, scenic or historical value."
