New Year's Eve festivities at the Holiday Inn were interrupted in-terrupted shortly after 1 a.m. when an argument between two men turned into a scuffle that police estimate! may have included in-cluded up to 50 people. Park City Police Detective Lloyd Evans said two people were injured in the melee and were treated at the Park City Health Clinic. Reports from a number of witnesses are still being taken, said Evans, but to date, no clear-cut clear-cut cause for the fight has been established. Evans said, however, that one wit ness indicated that racial slurs may have been aimed at a group of visiting Mexicans. One of those people injured was Holiday Inn General Manager Nile Harbertson, who received seven stitches on his cheek after he was punched during efforts to defuse the situation. According to Harbertson, the public party drew about 140 people to hear Jerry Floor and his Orchestra, and about 100 people were still there when the scuffle began.

He said he was in his office when he heard shouting coming from the party room and he called police before he and another Inn employee went to the scene. He said the house lights were brought up and the band stopped playing. They noted that a man, known only as Fisher, from Evanston, Wyo. was lying on the floor, having been struck by a chair. The fighting was over, Harbertson said, and the police were just entering the building when an unknown assailant struck him in the face. The manager said that he believed only 10 to IS people were involved in the incident. in-cident. He added that things may have seemed more confusing con-fusing due to the fact that many of the guests were not English-speaking. Officers Virgil Sickels, Pat Pirraglio, Lou Berry, Rick Clayton and Leo Witt responded to the call. Detective Detec-tive Evans said no arrests were made since "nobody knows for sure who started the fight or why." Evans said that some witnesses claim that a few of the men involved in the initial scuffle left the hotel before the police arrived. Harbertson said that "It had been a good group that was having a lot of fun. Things were going our way; it was a pleasant musical experience for five hours. It was most unfortunate that this happened." hap-pened." Evans said the questioning of witnesses will continue, but it is believed that some of the people involved in provoking the incident have left the city. Jentzsch pleads no contest to assault Park City Finance Director Di-rector Ric Jentzsch pleaded no contest to charges of assault Wednesday in an incident that occurred on Nov. 29 with another municipal munici-pal employee, Anita Bushell. The incident took place at Bushell's Wanship home, where she claimed that, after an argument, Jentzsch pushed and choked her. She reported to police that she had received bruises on her neck, shoulder and hand. At an arraignment held before Fifth Circuit Court Judge Larry Keller in Coalville Coal-ville Wednesday, Jentzsch pleaded no contest to the Class B misdemeanor. Present Pres-ent were Jentzsch and his attorney Max Wheeler, Bushell, and Summit County attorneys Robert Adkins and Terry Christiansen. Keller sentenced Jentzsch to five days in jail and a $75 fine. However, the jail sentence sen-tence was suspended upon payment of the fine. When Bushell first reported repor-ted the incident, she indicated that Jentzsch had used his position as her supervisor to threaten her. At the time, City Manager Arlene Loble said that the outcome of the arraignment could have a bearing on Jentzsch's future with the city. However, on Wednesday, Loble commented comment-ed that the incident was a personal item and said she would have no further comment. :uxc PARK CITY ROTARY Meets Tuesday 12:15 The Pub Holiday Inn Spice Up The Holidays All Year Long with a gift subscription to Newspaper Here's our favorite recipe for making your gift giving this year as easy as pie!

And that old truism was proven once again by the TV-movie "Accident in Crestridge," ... or was it "Incident in Crestridge?" Anyway, you get the point. After weeks of work involving dozens of people, expensive equipment, equip-ment, and huge trucks each one the size of the Hinden-burg-the result is a movie that looks like it was written and filmed over a few lunch hours. Now if any of you Hollywood folk from JaffeTaylor Productions read this, please remember: we really don't mean to bite the hand that fed us so well! It was great to see our friends and neighbors on TV or at least, seeing their elbows, knees, the backs of their heads, etc. Except for the five main roles, the cast was all Utah actors. And all of us at The Newspaper were thrilled that our offices were used for location filming. But let's face it guys. We're not talking "Hallmark Hall of Fame" here. Even the yokels in Utah can recognize that the picture was a very tame version of "Walking Tall". It was a crime melodrama in which you hardly ever saw any of the crime. The characters stood around most of the time talking about it 1 Eileen Brennan plays the Eastern wife who travels with her husband to the resortmining town of Crestridge, Wyoming. They arrive just in time to help out at a massage parlor which has been set ablaze by the syndicate bad guys, who run the competing parlors in town. This is the action high-point of the film. From there on out, it's about as violent as the MacNeil-Lehrer Report. Brennan finds that Crestridge is a town steeped in corruption, corrup-tion, depravity, and really bad table manners. The local mine workers march into restaurants and take seats away from peaceful diners. The redneck deputies prey on high school girls. (They need someone to read them the Sunday funnies.) And, as the TV ad assures us, "the mayor ran the town like a Godfather", though we see little evidence of the supposedly rampant terrorism. Our heroine's reaction is decidedly low-key. When she hears about the white slavery, gambling, and prostitution in Crestridge, she's about as perturbed as an Alpha Beta customer who finds the store is out of artichokes. (In Brennan Bren-nan 's defense, perhaps she figured that the only way to handle han-dle the melodramatic story was to underplay. ) She runs for sheriff and is elected, in a segment that is directed by Jud Taylor more like a senior citizens' luncheon than a dramatic election night. Then, in predictable fashion, she starts to clean up the town, while the fancy-suited villains grumble threats. H.E.D. Bedford, as the Mafia enforcer, walks around looking mean and telling his cohorts, "Why don't you let me handle this?", though it's not clear what he would do. Short sheet her bed, maybe, or put tabasco on her deli sandwich. The script even has the old "run-the-good-guy's-car-off-the-road" bit the oldest cliche in TV but it's a half-hearted effort. A station wagon gives Sheriff Brennan a tap on her fender, and then speeds off. Death threat? Sounds like your normal Utah driver to me ! The movie also has a sacrificial lamb. Brennan befriends a prostitute, who tells her of the mob's cruelty. "You were the only one who was ever good to me," the hooker says, then she licks Brennan's hand in gratitude, leaves, and shows up in the next scene as a corpse with Karo-syrup blood on her face. The movie's impeccable logic provides the climax. When threats don't work, the mayor (Pernell Roberts) sets up a recall election and rigs it to oust the sheriff. (So why didn't he do that in the first place, when she was running for the job? ) Brennan is defeated, but she has gathered enough evidence for the state task force to indict and convict some of the Mafia bad guys in town. Her deputies, who are by now devoted to her, throw down their badges and follow her out of office. It never occurs to any one that this mass resignation leaves the mayor free to appoint Luca Brasi and his relatives to run the police department. There were a few good relaxed character performances from Cliff Osmond, Pernell Roberts, and H.E.D. Redford. But the rest of the cast was desultory, as if they were telling themselves, "This is serious, right?" They were victims of the script. But we don't care what anyone says David Fleisher was good as the deputy. In fact we hear that Jack Webb is developing a mysterydetective for him called "The 10 O'clock Whistler". Incident at Crestridge" was junky but cute. And we had fun spotting the locations in the show. For instance, we noticed that the "Crestridge Hospital" had its own football field just the thing for patients after open-heart surgery ! The only thing that really bugged us was the portrayal of the fictional newspaperman Steve Nichols or as we called him, "The Weasel". This guy was on the sheriff's side, then caved in after the bad guys put a little pressure on him. What a wimp. Like we were telling Jack and Arlene at the buffet reception the other day, you can't corrupt or influence a newspaperman.
