The new Mormon church at the intersection of Lucky John and Monitor Drive will be officially dedicated this Sunday in ceremonies open to the public at 3 p.m. which will include a sacrament meeting. The elaborate facility cost about $1.3 million to build. It is fully complete and operational opera-tional with the exception of landscaping which will be completed this spring once the weather breaks. According Accord-ing to church spokesman Bud Huff, the landscaping will be subject to the same exacting standards used in constructing the facility itself. it-self. "We're going to do a very good job," he notes. "It's not going to be a crummy looking thing." The building will be used by the two Mormon wards in Park City who number about 600 worshippers. While the building was being constructed, con-structed, the Park City wards have been meeting at the Snyderville ward, sharing shar-ing facilities there with another thousand or so Mormons in the Park City area. The Snyderville ward occupies oc-cupies a new building itself which has only been in use since 1980. It cost about $1.2 million to erect. Before that facility was available, all Mormons in the Park City area used the ward building located on Woodside Avenue which was built during the World War II era. The church sold the building in 1981. The four Mormon wards in the Park City area are part of eleven which comprise the Kamas stake. The stake center is in Marion and other wards include Peoa. Local dies of gunshot wound Mark J. "Smiles" Evans, a Park City resident, died early Monday morning, Feb. 7, from what appears to be a self-inflicted gun shot wound to the head, according to Park City Police Chief Frank Bell. Evans was found lying in Main Street in front of the Alaskan House, where he lived, by three California tourists. When the police arrived at 1:45 they found Evans with what appeared to' be a bullet wound in his temple and a .45 caliber revolver lying nearby. He was pronounced dead at the scene. ' His body was taken to the University of Utah Medical Center, where the cause of death was determined to be a .45 caliber bullet wound to the head. According to Bell, the investigation of Evans' death is ongoing. The police are waiting for some tests from the University of Utah, to determine the presence of alcohol or drugs and if Evans, in fact, fired the gun. "At this point we have not found the shell casing or the bullet," said Bell. "It was snowing heavily at the time, but we have had no indication indica-tion that the wound was anything but self-inflicted." The police are also trying to establish Evans' mood and frame of mind at the time of the shooting. - Evans was single and a mechanic by trade.

Assiduous readers of the Park City Newspaper will notice that the quality of stage work at the Egyptian Theatre has become an issue. For the record, the score for PCP's last calendar year stands at "Successful Plays: 3'2; Mediocre or Less: 3'2." A 50-50 score may not sound very good, but you should remember one thing. A willingness to fail is one of the foundations of artistic creativity. The Egyptian would never have staged its successful plays if it didn't have the courage to risk producing the lemons. Without risk, there can be no accomplishment. If they didn't want to do bad theater, they would have done nothing at all. This proud willingness to do bad theater is part of an atmosphere of artistic experimentation. experimen-tation. This means that local artists will dare to exhibit their works in neighborhood galleries. This means that the local "characters" will put their reputations on the line by becoming wild and crazy d.j.'s for KPCW Radio. This also means that Park City bars will take a chance on featuring talented but unknown local rockers, rather than import some Cow Jazz clone from Salt Lake. The astounding conclusion? That's right, folks! The Egyptian Theatre makes it possible for people like Dr. Bop (that magnificent musician) to be seen and adored by thousands of fans! rather than, say languishing in obscurity or appearing on "Talent Shoecase." A recent issue of Heber's Wasatch Wave reported that the local drill team, the Wasatch Waspettes, won the Sweepstakes trophy at a Rocky Mountain competition held at the Salt Palace. For the moment, let's forget the bizarre idea of a healthy, adolescent girl being branded a "Waspette." (Sounds like some sort of colonic surgical instrument.) According to the Wave, the judges gave such comments as "Good variety! Beautiful kick line! Dynamic beginning!... Good projection. Nice turns! Loved buckets!" Loved backets? Congratulations to KPCW Radio for reaching reach-ing their goal of $12,000 and beyond. In its new prosperity, however, the station must operate under one new restriction from the Federal Communications Commission. A federal court recently ruled that a New Jersey school's "minute of silence" was a religious observance. Therefore, any prolonged pro-longed dead air on KPCW will be considered a violation of the First Amendment. This rule doesn't apply to the late-night d.j.'s who discover God and many other metaphysical concepts while spinning records at 12:30 a.m. Fans of "Chariots of Fire" should save.. . some, e for next week,! wjfgn the Egyptian " Theatre will host : the premiervf a"Thei' Flying Scotsman" a documentary examination examina-tion of "Chariots" Christian hero, Eric Liddell. The movie, a production of Inspirational Films, examines Liddell's life after his Olympic triumph, when he left to become a missionary in China. It also surveys the astounding success of "Chariots," with guest appearances by actor Ian Charleson who played Liddell, and film-maker Hugh Hudson. You may remember the Oscar-winning film had its Utah premiere at the Egyptian last year as a Film Festival benefit, with actor Ben Cross (who played Harold Abrahams) as a guest. The proper bi-partisan spirit dept.: In an interview with Penthouse magazine failed assassin John Hinckley said his action was not related to his political beliefs, "although I don't like either Republicans or Democrats." It was also not related to any personal hatred for President Reagan. According to the story carried by UPI, Hinckley also said he has become a strong advocate of gun control. (What's next? Evel Knievel endorsing the helmet law? James Watt appearing with a stuffed Woodsy the Owl?) In Houston, undercover police were forced to testify in a recent obscenity case with paper bags over their heads. The reason, according to an AP report, was because defense lawyers had hired an artist to sketch the faces of the policemen. "This could present all kinds of problems. There are a lot of fruitcakes who don't like police officers," said a vice officer. The prosecution supplied the paper sacks. However, before doing this they rejected several alternatives: (1) The officers would wear Groucho masks, or, a la "The Police Gazette, would hold large black strips over their eyes. They would also slump low in the witness stand to disguise their height. (2) Officers would testify in a darkened corner of the room. They would also be allowed to talk in a "Mr. Tudball" accent (referring to the famous Tim Conway character). Officers had agreed earlier this would be an easier voice to do that either Lawrence Welk or Donald Duck, the other two choices sanctioned by the Supreme Pnnrf (3) If the defendant's artist was right-handed right-handed he would be required to draw with his left hand, or vice versa. (4) Just before testimony, the prosecutor would yell, "Look! Out the window! It's Superman!." And while the court artist was thus distracted, the officer would tell his story. When E.F. Hutton talks, people listen. But what happens when E.F. Hutton strips? The question was raised by the March issue of Playboy. The mag is locally famous, of course, for the centerfold layout with local Alana Soares, but it also stirred national controversy because Hutton stockbroker Marina Verola appeared nude in a six-page pictorial. In a Chicago Sun-Times report, Verola said she and her husband worked for a major brokerage firm. When she asked her bosses about the layout, they responded by firing her. V Hutton hasn't been too receptive either to the article. The company hasn't reprimanded repri-manded her, but has leaked comments that Verola isn't a very good broker anyway. We saw the layout. Nice kick line! And great buckets! . The town has been rife with rumors this week. There are a million stories in the Naked Ski Resort. Here are just two. Patrons at Jody's supposedly got an unexpected bonus this week. Members of the band Boz Scaggs were visiting and got up to play with the house band. On the sports scene, we hear that one of the men's basketball teams in the city Recreational League is called the Nads. This is done so that, in the heat of a game, enthusiastic supporters can yell, "Go, Nads! Great news from the counter-culture. They now deliver! Or they used to, until the cops stopped them. In New York, the Church of the Realized Fantasies shut down its marijuana-delivery service after an undercover cop busted one of the staff. A recent UPI report said the officer called the church's phone number, asked for the "menu" of the day, made a selection and arrested the delivery boy when he showed up. The church's service was widely-adver-tised, and they claimed to serve many clients on Manhattan's posh East Side. They would, have-done better if they'd opened a franchise Col. Ganja's secret recipe, Mac-Dope's, Mac-Dope's, or Kilo King, where you can have it your way! So you thought the Park City Film Festival had problems, with long lines and high ticket prices? That's nothing, compared to the hassles caused by the Manila International Film Festival, which is featuring such pornographic films as "Lady Chatterly in Tokyo" and "Swinging Cheerleader." According to a news report, Filipino bus driver Victoriano Masde suffered a fatal stroke while watching the film, "The Virgin People." Doctors said there was no evidence the movie contributed to his death. In another incident, Herminigildo Aragon was shot at by his wife when he returned late from an X-rated movie. (Aragon is also a bus driver. Traffic must be at a standstill in Manila!) The festival has drawn attacks from the Catholic Church, the World Bank, and president Ferdinand Marcos, whose wife is sponsoring the f est. Marcos came up with the most logical response expected of a tin-pot ruler: "I suppose we'd better start arresting some people," he said. Meanwhile, the festival has some fans. Manila film critic Roger Overt reviewed "Swinging Cheerleader" and wrote, "Stunning.... "Stun-ning.... poignang passionate You'll love the buckets!" And finally a faithful but cynical reader of "Whaddyaknow" suggests that we should inaugurate a program of Vicious Valentines every year. We don't know quite what our reader has in mind, but it might be something like: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, I'm desperate to see you, The clinic is, too." 1 V :0 .a r i J --4 m - -i rti..ii.jBiiti i-n.ii ..- - m m m . ,,m ff, .I-, jni tt |
