Show 1 THE Wednesday, December 21, 1977 Their Last Meeting mm By Jay Meehan KPRQ Radio II' you haven't gotten the word yet, "Possum" is back in town and holding forth in fine fashion in the Car 19. The eclectic, traditionally oriented cjuartet from Telluride, Colorado is scheduled through Friday night, Dec. 23. It was a packed house for Monday's opening night as a mixture of locals, who had shown up to welcome 'Kicker," Rooster, Kenny, and Nancy Jean back to town, and visiting skiers crowded into the relatively small room for an evening of bluegrass, newgrass, jazz and swing. It was a gas! Check them out. They're a treat and a perfect per-fect way to really kick-off the holiday and ski seasons. 'Possum" is back! They'll be at the "Side Car" through Friday. The 11th Annual International Jazz Fesitval at Montreux, Switzerland is probably the most critically acclaimed and easily the most recorded recor-ded musical gathering of all time. Here is a sample of what's available to the afficianado in the album rack. Oscar Peterson's "Pablo" label has made available seventeen LPs which, collectively, feature thirty-two records. You can get Peterson jamming with Count Basie and Dizzy Gillespie or Benny Carter with Ray Bryant and Jimmy Smith. One of the releases is an eight record set entitled "The Art of the Jam Session" and features just about everybody imaginable. II none of these has struck your fancy, how about an entire LP of Count Basie's Big Band or one featuring Ella Fitzgerald with the Tommy Flanigan Trio. Or how about Joe Pass, Milt Jackson, Ray Brown, Roy Eldridge, Zoot Sims, Vic Dickinson, Eddi "Lockjaw" Davis or Clark Terry. Powder Pants? Do we have powder pants? pan-ts? Seriously, it's some of the finest live jazz ever recorded. Try it on for size. The "Montreux '77 , Collections" on Pablo records. Not to be outdone, Columbia records, after releasing a huge jazz catalogue during 1977, also took their recorders to Montreux this summer. Their approach was different in that rather than attempt to record various congregations during the month long festival (July 1-July24), they chose the climactic closing night: "...six hours of lavish and terrific energy, six hours of dynamic music making, six hours of brass figures and fantastic reed patterns and ensemble waves and solo creations by an unbelievable assembly of talents." It almost sounds like Tim Mertens selling goggles. Thursday night marked the last City Council meeting for Mayor Leon Uriarte and Councilman Jan Wilking. Both government officials decided not to run for reelection re-election last November. Uriarte, a life-long Park City resident, was elected two years ago, handily defeating write-in candidate Mary Lehmer and Park City Transportation owner Dave Novelle. His short term came about because former Mayor John Price resigned his post, reconsidered and was appointed to succeed himself. However, state law permitted him to serve only until the next general elec tions. Price did not seek reelection re-election and the voters chose Uriarte to fill out the remaining two years of Price's four-year term. Wilking, a native of Casper, Wyoming who has lived here for eight years, served ser-ved his full four years. He served as chairman of the city's master committee and was the prime architect of the revised zoning ordinance. ordinan-ce. Both Uriarte and Wilking were honored at Saturday night's Christmas party for city workers. They received placques citing their years of service to the community. Althouth Wilking offered 1 1 in i ,-r j-" giiiuiiAZ ,:- :' I r" ( Councilman Jan Wilking Mayor Leon Uriarte no parting words of wisdom, Mayor Uriarte read the following short farewell address ad-dress at Thursday's council meeting: "This is my last Council meeting. I would like to express ex-press my appreciation to the people of Park City for the privilege of being their mayor for the past two years. It has been an honor for me. I extend my appreciation ap-preciation to the City Council members for working so well with each other. I feel real good and proud of the accomplishments of the Council in the past two years. To Wayne Matthews a job well done as city manager. Wayne and I, as mayor, have communicated very well. This next year will be a little lit-tle inconvenient for the older part of town with new water and service lines, sewer lines, and all tht roads to be paved. All of these contracts for these improvements have been signed. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and may everyone have a very successful winter win-ter season."

Matheson Wants To Axe Southern P arkLand Gourmet Sandwiches Luncheon Salad Bar Homemade Soup Ice Cream Specialties Sundaes Banana Splits Malts Shakes By Kim Crumbo Utah's Governor Scott Matheson recommends the deletion of the southern portion por-tion of Capitol Reef National Park, according to a written response to the Park Service's Ser-vice's Glen Canyon Wilderness Wilder-ness Proposal. The governor suggested the Park Service "delete" the area south of the Burr Trail and add it to the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This would allow for possible marina development at Hall's Creek, according to the governor. At the same time, the state opposed the limited wilderness wilder-ness recommendations of the Park Service and con servationists for the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. The governor proposed a 163,000-acre wilderness, as opposed to the one million acres proposed by conservationists. The Park Service had endorsed a half-million acre wilderness. The governor also recommended recom-mended that the Harris Wash jeep trail, and all points poin-ts north, be deleted from the recreation area. The trail crosses the famed Escalante River and is part of the proposed Escalante Wilderness. Wilder-ness. While not specifically mentioning the controversial "Trans-Escalante Highway," High-way," the governor endorsed endor-sed Alternative B of the Glen Canyon General Management Plan which allows for the road's construction. con-struction. The $100 million highway "poses the greatest threat to the integrity of this spectacular wilderness," according to Dick Carter, Utah Wilderness Society representative. The governor suggested that the San Juan River from Grand Gulch to Mexican Hat be removed from the recreation area to "facilitate development of energy related resources." This includes in-cludes portions of the Grand Gulch-Slickhorn wilderness, as well as the scenic San Juan River, a section proposed by river runners for Wild River status.
