I looked down Samson Sam-son Road and it seemed like we could make it but the truck went right into a slide. Ricky Washburn was working with me then riding the back. I was white as a sheet. We could have dropped right off the edge. Almost ended up in Casey Blair's kitchen with the truck! It says a lot for our road crew really, that with all that snow we were almost always able to complete com-plete our pick ups." John Newland, proprietor of The Mother Lode and head of the Municipal Sanitation Corporation, moved Lo Park City from Duarte, California in 1975. "I had been to Park City once before over the 4th of July weekend and fell in love with the place. Monday my brother-in-law called to say that he needed someone to run The Mother Lode. Tuesday I quit my job, Wednesday Wed-nesday my wife Arly and I put the house up for sale and by Thursday I was in Park City." The Mother Lode is the oldest continually operating bar in Park City. Arly serves sandwiches on homemade french bread over a bar John and Arly Newland which faces leaded mirrors mounted in the 1880s. Newland accepted the position with the sanitation department in order to help support The Mother Lode. "Without a license for hard liquor, we just break even in the winter," Newland commented. "Summer is our best season." Though John's first love is The Mother Lode (make that his second love John's family definitely comes first, he puts his whole heart into in-to running the Park City garbage collection service. Up until May 1 of last year Park City contracted its garbage collection to a firm in Kamas. As Park City grew it became more expensive. expen-sive. "The sanitation department depart-ment is the only department that has the potential of making money for the city," explains John. The city bought a truck and put Newland in charge. Terry Savage and Dean Blair (both born and raised in Park City) complete the crew. They work a tight schedule, up to 14 hours a day during the peak of the ski season. "We were hauling 60-90 cubic yards of garbage per day," Newland estimated. "At least 15 cubic yards from the resort alone." As Park City continues to grow Newland feels that krger equipment will be necessary. The city has already replaced the old D6 with a D8H Caterpillar at the landfill site near Highway 40. The current sanitation truck can lift dumpsters up to 3 cubic yards in capacity. The larger trucks that Newland foresees needing to handle the new developments can lift up to 10 cubic yards of compacted refuse. The municipal crew begins at 6 a.m., and during the spring lull they usually finish up by noon, after which John goes over the truck as part of its routine maintenance. "It is kind of a thankless task," Newland sighed. "Basically, people don't, notice their garbage collec- tion unless it is not done. There are only two reasons at this point that garbage is not picked up. One if it is not curbside, and two if it is not properly packaged. A great majority of the peple are very cooperative." John and Arly are still in love with Park City. John, who sees perhaps more of its growth on a day-to-day basis than anyone else says. "Some growth is inevitable. I just we had tighter controls over what is built and exactly how it is carried out." This Friday, the Park City Film Coalition and the Kimball Art Center will be screening a film that is considered a classic not only for its acting, but also for its social impact. Marlon Brando stars in The Wild One, a 1954 film based upon an incident that occurred when two rival motorcycle gangs took over a small town. While most film buffs do not consider this Brando's best performance, the role is the one that set Brando's image and created a cult that worshiped the tough hood the film had set out to ridicule. Brando had already established a reputation as an "enfant terrible" among the Hollywood gossip columns, and his role of Johnny, the antisocial anti-social rebel in The Wild One seemed to confirm this image. While the screenplay by John Paxton was written as a morality play intending to denounce the motorcycle hoods, director Laslo Benedek and producer Stanley Kramer both overlooked Brando's incredible magnetism and screen presence which transformed the hood into a cult hero. The Wild One was raised from mediocrity mainly on the strength of Brando's performance. Brando's success in The Wild One assured his star status, inspired a spate of method actor imitators, and was one of the first indicators of undercurrent of social discontent that would later be called juvenile delinquency. Brando immediately tried to break the image by taking only roles that were the antithesis of his rebel role. Consequently he picked some very poor vehicles and still was unable to shake that stereotype. James Dean and John Cassavettes were two actors that reminded the public of the Brando prototype, while Elvis Presley seemed to confirm the realness of The Wild One's existance with his "surly" brand of rock 'n roll. Beyond Brando's performance, the film has several flaws. The invaded town seems to be almost totally inhabited by old folks, with teenagers and young adults conspicuously absent. ab-sent. The film's ,sqcj,a.l commentary is a second problem areat'jvj(t4-the judgments being handed to the audience with the, finality of a Roman tribunal. The film was not an attempt to see the grey areas of a pfoblem, but to present a black and white moral judgment on the rebel group. Even with its flaws The Wild One is an important impor-tant film classic. Rarely does a film strike a social undercurrent with the force that The Wild One did. The youth of America used Brando as a model to express their discontent with their place in society. To watch Brando's performance, perfor-mance, even if it is irratic, is to understand how this could happen. The film will be shown at 8:00 p.m. Friday at the Kimball Art Center Gallery. Admission is $2 with a price of $1 .50 for KAC and PCFC members. A burglary took place at the Park City Leatherworks shop on 434 Main Street between April 17 and May 3, according to the Park City police department.
