The local office aims to make at least 50 matches in the next 6 months and estimates there are in excess of 250 boys and girls between 6 and 16 in single parent families in the mountainlands area who need the guidance, role modeling and special friendship friend-ship of a Big Brother or Big Sister.

There is no charge for this program ; the agency is funded through United Way, contracts with social service agencies and private donations. dona-tions. Big Brothers began in 1903 as an individual's response to a child's plight. Since then it has positively affected hundreds of thousands of lives. However, for Big Brothers and Big Sisters to succeed, adult volunteers are needed. Little Brothers and Little Sisters are waiting anxiously for their special friend. Won't you consider how you can help? Call Marie Nelson at 649-1664 for further information. The U.S. Film and Video Festival was launched Monday with the usual quota of confusion (director Sydney Pollack,' an expected guest, is identified occasionally as "Stanley Polack") a rich menu of films, and a wild line-up of parties. . The festival was, as usual, awash in celebrities doing their bit to make the festival a success. At festival headquarters, Richard Gere was among those selling tickets (or is that someone who looks like him?) At the Holiday Village, you could buy popcorn from Jack Nicholson. (You have to put up with his little quirks though. We asked for extra salt, and he responded by reprising the whole restaurant-ordering scene from "Five Easy Pieces.") We also think Meryl Streep was a real good sport to volunteer to drive one of the shuttle buses. (Her specialty is delicately repressed hysteria, so she fits right in with the festival atmosphere.) All sorts of fun activities accompany the films. For instance, the Sunday showing of "Moses Pendleton Presents Moses Pendleton," Pendle-ton," about the acclaimed American choreographer, will be followed by Pendleton appearing live on stage. In a similar vein, the Saturday showing of "Atomic Cafe," about nuke warfare, will be followed by the detonation of a small atomic device in the Holiday Village parking lot. Another exciting gimmick is planned for "Vernon, Florida" the film, you remember, remem-ber, about the man whose passion is hunting wild turkey. For a small additional charge, viewers can purchase rifles in the Egyptian Theater lobby and participate in a turkey shoot after each showing of the film. (Wild birds will be released from the theater balcony.) Members of Park City Performances Per-formances can have their catches skinned and gutted free at the theater. ... Okay, let us set aside the tongue-in-cheek stuff for a moment. In the real world, the festival kicked off with a "Sophie's Choice" party sponsored by festival advisory board member Max Jarman. The party was evidently a raging success, which is to say the Black Pearl and environs looked like a South American soccer riot. The party band (sorry, I didn't catch the name) provided rambunctious rock 'n' roll. The lady members wore the kind of tight stretch pants that look like a second skin. (Will they need a medical team from the University of Utah to get out of them?) When the band laid in a bank of dry ice, they looked like a devil cult headed by Calvin Klein. Among the patrons at the Black Pearl bar was choreographer Pendleton. (One observer ob-server predicted Pendleton will be in trouble after audiences see him dance in his film. He won't be able to step into a Park City watering hole without being mobbed by ladies.) The celebrity quota has been very volatile at this year's festival. Some, like Martin Sheen, have had to drop out But others turn up just as unexpectedly. ?-:!- One surprise guest was Edward James Olmos, who plays the title role in "Ballad of Gregorio Cortez." He also appeared in "Blade Runner," and was the sneeringly elegant "El Pachuco" in "Zoot Suit," seen at last year's festival. So far, this department hasn't had much chance to see the festival films. But we caught two fine premieres on Tuesday night. Mark these down in your movie-going notebook: "Grey Fox" has the funny-lovely look of an old daguerrotype, and Richard Farnsworth gives a warm, underplayed performance as Bill Miner, a senior-citizen train robber of the early 20th Century. "Escape Artist" is a charming picture about a junior Houdini, with a nice performance from Griffin O'Neal. (It's also one of those rare feature films that commits an outright faux pas the boom microphone can clearly be seen hovering into the frame in one scene.) ' Finally, let's wrap up the festival news with an update on the news on some past participants. If you've been watching TV lately, you might have seen Stanley Kramer, last year's winner of the festival Medallion, doing a commercial for Fisher's Skipper's Fish and Chips. (Now who said this award doesn't lead to bigger things? ) Last year, the festival premiered "Missing," "Miss-ing," a film about the mysterious death of an American citizen following a coup against Chilean president Salvador Allende. A year later, the picture is still the subject of hot debate. The ex-ambassador to Chile and two embassy officials have filed a $150 million libel suit against the film and a book on the same subject. They say the movie portrayed them as ordering the execution of the disappeared American victim in the film, Charles Horman. And remember Melvin Dummar? He appeared here two years ago in conjunction with the movie "Melvin and Howard." At the time, Melvin was a salesman for the Trans-Alaska Seafood firm out of Bountiful, Utah. According to a UPI report, Melvin is still plugging away at his fishy occupation. He returned to Nevada recently, asking for a two-day license to sell in a Carson City shopping mall. (As long as they're both in the fish business, couldn't Stanley Kramer direct Dummar in a Skipper's commercial? ) We don't mind when the Mormon Church tries to control pornography. The real threat comes when you're not allowed to pick up a little smut at your local 7-11. The United Press reports that a 7-11 proprietor in Roosevelt has taken it upon himself to keep Playboy and Penthouse magazines in his back room. The man says it's a policy he agreed upon with the local city council, even though the city has no formal ordinance and the policy of Southland Corporation (owners of 7-11) is to sell the magazines. The proprietor said he'll quit before he changes his mind. You wouldn't expect the guy to be a prude. His name, according to the news report, is Tom Collins! 1 - 3- .VM .A .I1U- -yr Dairy Queen Brazier Restaurant Opening Monday, January 24th featuring: O Flame broiled hamburgers O Specialty sandwiches & salad bar O Queen's buffet breakfast All you can eat served daily 7 -10:30 a.m. O World famous treats Experience a beautiful dining atmosphere with fireplace, complimented by fast 'We treat you right' service Open 7 a.m. to midnight daily Drive-thru Service Prospector Squaw Hwy248E(toHeber) e Q o Holiday Inn Resort s I I |
