But certainly the most unusual proposal came last week, ostensibly from the Salt Lake Rescue Mission. This note is addressed from the Reverend Elton "Salvation" Jacobson, andhe writes: : "Dear Mr. Brough: , "Perhaps you have heard of me and my nationwide campaign in the cause of temperance. Each year, for the past fourteen, I have made a tour of Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, Wyoming, and Utah and r delivered a series of lectures on the evils of drinking. On this tour I have been accompanied by a good young man and assistant, Boyd Linsom. "Boyd, a young man of good family and excellent background, is a pathetic example of life ruined by excessive indulgence in whiskey, women, and general sexual perversion. Boyd would appear with me at the lectures and sit on the platform;' drunk, wheezing, staring at the audience through bleary and bloodshot eyes, sweating profusely, profuse-ly, picking his nose, passing gas, and making obscene gestures while I would point him out as an example of what over-indulgence can do to a person. "Last summer, unfortunately, Boyd died. A mutual friend has given me your name, and I wonder if you would be available to take Boyd's place on my 1983 Spring Tour.'" There is a morning every week just before the paper's deadline, when we look like we've been through a life of whiskey, women and general sexual perversion. But alas, we are under-qualified. under-qualified. The letter from Salt Lake is postmarked in Park City (note that, Watson!) and is: therefore suspicious. The Park City police have dusted it for paw prints but can't turn up a clue. I do not know if there's an actual Elton Jacobson, and I certainly hope that Boyd the poor wretch isn't real exhibited like Tupperware over the five-state area. If you feel you can fill in for Boyd Linsom, the Rev. "Salvation" Jacob-son Jacob-son will be glad to hear from you. Meanwhile, I have to go to the Post Office and find if I'm getting David Letterman's weird mail by mistake. It sounded like a storybook wedding which would be appropriate for librarian Judy MacMahon. Last Saturday, Judy was married to Jonathan Dworkin at the Old Town Gallery. According to one reliable tliriilk a Editor's note: With this issue the Park City Newspaper welcomes a new columnist, colum-nist, Teri Gomes, alias Jamie Olson, whose musings have been a part of the Park Record for the pastjour years. i Jamie Olson in the Park City Newspaper? Well Whaddayaknow? Jamie doesn't write there anymore. . . . The change is very simple. The decision last week by the Park Record staffer to reveal my true identity was something that would shake the cape off Clark Kent, mystify Carolyn Keene and reveal the Calaveras County toad beneath Mark Twain. The revelation came as a surprise to me when, like many of you, I picked up the paper Thursday morning to read in bold type: - , , . ... Jamie Olson is the pen name of Teri Gomes. ', s , ' ' True, it wasn't the best kept secret in all of Park City. When I came to town four, years ago next month, I decided to write a column that might serve as a bit of a bridge between old PARK 649-2572 TO PARK CITY MM Rent Rent FPJ.

Judy and Jonathan, says our canary, were actually teen sweethearts. When she was 17 and he 20, they considered an elopement, but it didn't come off. Now that they're-uh, older-they finally got around to tying the knot. At the art gallery, bride and groom said their vows while surrounded by the current collection of nudes from Utah artist Trevor Southey. Dworkin (who's said to have a bizarre sense of humor anyway) looked around at the drawings and lamented he couldn't live up to those expectations. The ceremony was performed by Jack Green. We're surprised this hasn't inspired one of the Hollywood celebrities in town to create a new TV series. ("We can do 'Love Boat' with pine trees. Each week, Andy Griffith as the kindly mayor will marry off a new couple. And instead of a midget, like 'Fantasy Island,' we can have this huge rugby player.") What's all this, then, about the excitement over exotic dancers at the Cowboy Bar? Looking over recent events in Park City and Utah, it appears that barring these dancers would be locking the barn door too late. Consider the following facts: One of Park City's local residents was a centerfold for the March "Playboy." And a Salt Lake woman will appear in a future issue. The Kimball Art Center's "Cabaret" "Ca-baret" had a jolly little dance number about the old-time hookers in the town's frontier days. It appears that raunchiness is okay if it's historical. Even the staid "Deseret News" can get in on the act. In its Sunday edition, it carried a story about Utah's film industry with the following headline: "Nubile Utah just lay back and film biz discovered her." No one in local government has objected to KPCW conducting interviews inter-views with scantily clad city officials. "Whaddyaknow" has learned that Tom Clyde often conducts phone interviews with the radio when he's just out of the shower. Sometimes he has nothing more than a towel on. Do we want to be known as the half-nude City Attorney Capitol of Utah? Look Out, Alana! Good news for fans of National Merit scholars. We have learned that Amy Finegan's cranium will be the centerfold for the April issue of "Scientific American." The photo lay-out shows Finegan in Wiiiir by Teri Park City and new. So, I invented a name and column in the same week. I figured if no one knew who was writing this piece perhaps I might have more opportunity to be an unnoticed spectator. I have tried to combine a little history with a little humor a little wry and sourdoughs... Since change seems to be in the wind (isn't that right, Jess Reid, Bill Coleman, et al.?), I decided making a move would be healthy for me too. So here I am. Look for Strike a Vein to continue with a bent toward the more domestic side of Park City. (Whose dog has fleas and where did they get them? Possible future column material.) Kids, kittens and bill collectors. Or how life in the fast lane sometimes feels like the soft (and cold) shoulder. When the pickings are slim I'll still probably resort to items about the weather. "Seen any crocus yet?" "Don't you just love the perfume of fresh mowed grass (lawn clippings)?" You know the stuff...

"The photo sessions-are not as easy as they look," she said. "They had to drag this X-ray machine to the second floor of the Miners Hospital. And you have to sit there for hours before they get the lighting right. Also, in the pictures, the brain seems to be at this really intense REM level. Actually, they use these special oils to make it look better for the camera." SA, unlike many soft-core science publications, doesn't airbrush its cerebellum shots. This is raw footage, so the Main Street Deli better stock up on extra issues now! Before we get off this risque kick, one last item from the international wire: Park City isn't the only town objecting to nude dancers. They like 'em in Paris, but not in the middle of an opera. The audience booed recently when twelve nudes waltzed into the Paris Opera production of Johann Strauss' "Die Fledermaus." According to an AP report, director Richard Foreman was inspired to replace the ballet chorus with strippers from a local night club. Foreman said the regular dancers will return, fully clothed. The mellow-rock station beamed into Park City, FM-94, is developing a weaker signal. Blair Feulner's fingerprints finger-prints haven't been discovered on the transmitter, but he's been warned not to leave town. Finally, one of the great comedy teams of the late 20th Century is being developed on KPCW Radio during the Dr. Bop show, heard every Friday from 3 to 5 p.m. On occasion, the lovable lunatic Dr. Bop is joined by his sane buddy, George Richer. George is apt to say things like, "You've got a point there, Dr. Bop. But if you put a hat on, no one will notice." Richer is Dean Martin, while the more unrestrained Bop takes after Jerry Lewis. (Meanwhile, that old rascal The Kingfish cooks up another scheme to raise money for the radio. But that's another series.) We hope this last item, and everything else in "Whaddyaknow," will Strike a Vein with you this week. (I can say that now, can't I, Mom? You won't wash my mouth out with soap any more?) r t r ; ' S. Gomes Dad, Harry. (Great beard, Reed.) ...Tom and Lenore Brady are building a home in the subdivision next to Parleys Park School. They refer to the area as "Silver Wings," because of all the Western pilots and stewardi (plural of male and female airline helpers) who live there. I'll still chide Alpha Beta when they start Christmas promotions in September. Septem-ber. And I'll occasionally throw in a rude remark or two about Summit County Health Director Frank Singleton Single-ton (he'd be crushed if I didn't) . And now that I'm working close to Rick Brough, I may finally see what it is he hides beneath his trench coat. (I'll be certain to ask one of Park City's nice vice guys along or maybe I should ask Officer Carroll for that one.) So, you know for sure (Valley girl translation fer sure) that Jamie is Teri and the reverse. But, other than that, nothing much will change. Except for a measure of professionalism. profes-sionalism. And I'm sure that strikes a vein with readers of the Park City Newspaper. VIDEO 649-2572 TO HUH OTY SJOfWMDt! CRUI STEAK REST.
