Residents will also sport admission buttons to prove they're from Park City. You can't blame the Kimball Art Center for being careful. At every festival, there are people who look like Parkites, act like Parkites, talk like Parkites, but are they? The whole situation is like a scene from an old movie . . . It's dark at Checkpoint Charlie, near the bottom of Main Street. The bone-tired sentry is stubbing out his last cig, When suddenly he hears a footstep in the blackness. He tenses, his rifle cocked. Sentry : Halt ! Who goes there, friend or foe? Stranger: Relax, I'm a local. Sorry I don't have my I.D. button with me, but I just live a few blocks up on Park Avenue, so if it's okay with you . . . Sentry: Hold it right there, buddy! (Eyes narrowing) You might be an Old towner or you might be a slimy, sneaky infiltrator from Happy Valley. Sprechen ze Mormon, maybe? Stranger: Huh? What'reyou talking about? Sentry: Quiet! I'll ask the questions. We'll find out what you really are! Quick, tell me whatB.F. stands for! Stranger: Blair Feulner Sentry: Who's Little Miss Big? Stranger: Bea Kummer. No, wait Arlene Loble! Sentry: How long does it take to get from Janneaux's to Mileti's? Stranger: Ten minutes by foot. Forty-five minutes, crawling. Sentry: What happened with the last land swap Bob Wells arranged for the city? Stranger: I . . .1 can't explain that. Nobody can! Sentry: (grudgingly) Yeah, you're right. But I still don't know about you. Hey, Sarge, c'mere a minute, willya? I got another Unidentified, says he lives here. Sarge: Oh, yeah? Hmm. He looks the part. Let me sniff your breath, stranger. (Sniff) Nope, no telltale trace of creme soda. We're gonna give you a sobriety test. Touch your finger to your nose, and walk this straight line. (The stranger pokes his finger in his eye, then takes one step and falls flat on his face. ) Sarge: He sure acts like a Parkite! I'm not sure, though. Stranger: Look, you give me any more of this crap, and I'm gonna sue the city! Sarge: What'd you say? Stranger: I said I'll sue the city for everything they got! Sarge: Why didn't you say so in the first place? You're a local, all right. Go ahead and pass 'im, soldier! Acting is getting to be more dangerous than skiing in this town. The latest Purple Heart award goes to Amy Finegan, who won the admiration of fellow actors after she was injured right in the middle of a "Godspell" performance and carried on in the best "trouper" tradition. Finegan explained she was acting as part of the "hutnan altar" in Saturday night's show when she bowed her head and collided with the skull of fellow player Leslie Luyken. Amy's eye got the worst of it. "I knew immediately im-mediately something was wrong because it started to hurt like hell," she said. Nevertheless, she carried on without missing a beat. (Some audience members who were there that night were surprised to hear later about the accident.) The "God-spell" "God-spell" characters, unfortunately are always on stage. Amy got to cry a little and let the pain out during her heartfelt "Day by Day" solo, but otherwise endured it for 45 minutes until intermission, when she put an icepack on the now-swollen eye. (Goes to prove you can't tell the tough ones by appearance. Finegan looks like she could be blown down by bus exhaust.) The eye had closed, but at this writing, Amy said it has started to open up again. She in't tho nniv rofpn ininrv however. Aysha Quinn, one of the stars of "Night of the Iguana," broke a toe last week, but still appeared ap-peared on stage. And we have also learned that "Godspell" actress Ruth Ann Fitzgerald broke a foot during rehearsal, which healed up before opening night. With all the recent stage mishaps, Don Gomes should brush up his accident insurance, insuran-ce, and Bea Kummer should do some research resear-ch to see if the Egyptian Theatre wasn't built on some sacred Indian burial ground. The Utah Arts Council is holding a seminar in Park City, to which all interested locals are invited. The council is meeting Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Prospector Theater Lounge. A spokeswoman said this is the beginning of an effort to hold council meetings in areas away from Salt Lake. A little bit of Hollywood magic is on display at the Oldtown Gallery. One of the paintings, "Road to Coomcallee," is by Peter Ellen-shaw, Ellen-shaw, who has been praised by one reviewer as a "wizard of illusion." Little wonder, since painter Ellenshaw has also worked the last 25 years as a special-effects artist for Walt Disney. He is a master at mattes glass paintings that are inserted into a scene to give the illusion of a real background. He won an Oscar in 1964 for his drawing of the London skyline in "Mary Poppins." And over the years, he has also contributed to such films as "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" and "The Black Hole." Question: What prominent civic leader reputedly featured a male stripper at her bridal shower, to the lascivious delight of her numerous female cohorts? A final theatrical note. It seems that Tut, the feline mascot at the Egyptian Theatre, is not quite stage-broken. He was therefore remanded to the custody of actress Madeline Smith who lives out in Park Meadows. However, Tut disappeared from Madeline's home not long after. It is believed that the cat stumbled across a copy of "Lassie Come Home" and is attempting to make his way back to the theater. So if anyone driving between bet-ween Main Street and Park Meadows happens hap-pens to spot a golden-furred cat, who looks like he's been spoiled please brake for it! We haven't seen the results of the Over-the-Line Softball Tournament, but certainly the raunchiest of the three-member teams has to be the squad consisting of Gary Avise, Cindy Fish, and Pat Brennan. Their name? "The Fish that Ate Everyone." The newspapers this week reported the death of wrestler Harold Sakata last week. So who is he? Maybe you'll remember him if we mention that he played Oddjob the deadly Oriental with the metal bowler hat in "Gold-finger". "Gold-finger". Movie fans remember how he met his end when he reached for his chapeau, which had become wedged so, sorry! in an electrified fence. You might also recall the series of cough syrup commercials he made in the early '70s, as a typical suburban husband with a Black Belt whose cough is so violent he almost destroys his house before the little wifie can get him some fast, fast relief. Newspaper headlines are a good way to tell what slang is becoming popular. The "Tribune" reports this week, for instance, that "NASA Plots Ways to Prevent E.T. Microbe Plague." On the other hand, some expressions still have only an underground status. Another recent news story was headlined, "Sun Valley just won't give a toot any more." Don't worry, drug fans, the Feds haven't raided the place. The story begins, "Time ran out Sunday for the historic Union Pacific Railroad branch line . . ." The headline was written by those clean-living folks at the Deseret News, who don't understand under-stand coke puns. City answers Fire District suit The Park City Redevelopment Redevelop-ment Agency has filed a counterclaim against the Park City Fire Protection District charging the district was illegally formed and should be determined invalid. inval-id. The answer and counterclaim counter-claim filed by Attorney Bill Oswold of Fox, Edwards and Gardiner, Salt Lake City, came in response to the fire district suit two weeks ago charging that the city's Redevelopment Agency is unconstitutional. In the suit, the fire district asked for the return of some $80,000 it claims the Redevelopment Agency obtained illegally from fire district revenues. The city's counterclaim also asks for dismissal of the fire district suit on grounds tho court has no jurisdication under provisions of the Governmental Immunity Act. The fire district, the answer an-swer states, is an invalidly established political subdivision subdivi-sion because the code under which it was established calls for no new fire districts after June 30, 1975. The district was officially created creat-ed six months after that, it is alleged. It is expected that the city also will file a motion for summary judgment, asking for dismissal of the fire district suit on grounds the Utah Neighborhood Development Develop-ment Act, under which Redevelopment Agencies are formed, already has been determined constitutional constitu-tional by the Utah Supreme Court. Firecracker causes Silver Creek fire A fire ignited by a firecracker fire-cracker burned approximately approxi-mately five acres of grass, sagebrush and oakbrush about one mile north of Silver Creek Junction Sunday. Sun-day. Summit County District Fire Warden Rick Paris said the fire was called in at about 2:30 p.m. and took 25 fire fighters with seven pieces of equipment, plus twenty volunteers with two backhoes nearly five hours to extinguish it. "The fire apparently started start-ed from an illegal firecracker," firecrack-er," said Paris. "It spread very quickly in the sagebrush sage-brush and grass. Even though everything appeared green once it got started, the fire quickly engulfed the five acres. Luckily, there were no houses in the immediate area, and a Park City Fire District fire engines stood by at the closest house which could have been threatened." threaten-ed." Paris said the fire was contained to five acres because of three factors. "First was that the fire was reported early while it was still small," he said. "Second, the recent weather has kept the area cool, damp and green. And last, and probably most important, was the quick actions taken by the local residents of Silver Creek Estates and the quick and effective response and attack of the Park City Fire District. "After over four hours of smokey, back-breaking work of all forces, the fire was out at 7:15 p.m." V- 4 f' -it" I ' V ' - v, - ' i .
