Show Page A2 Thursday, May 18, 1989 RICHARDS from A1 offer to annex all of his land due to the increased taxes he would have to pay, however, because the land remaining re-maining in the county is in a greenbelt tax classification. Richards said he "was delighted" with his master plan, and thought city ci-ty staff members were too. "I thought we came to an agreement.. agree-ment.. .that I would come first to the city and request annexations as we move forth. So in a sense, the entire 38 acres were master planned and we had ironed out the differences as far as I knew." MURPHEY from A 1 Murphey will perform 15 symphony sym-phony concerts across the country this year, as part of his 150-performance schedule. He speaks highly of the Utah Symphony in particular, and was encouraged last summer to see 5,600 people attend at-tend his performance. This year Deer Valley has obtained a permit which allows 7,500 people to attend. Organizers of the festival are now planning where the Indian villages and food booths will be set up. Some thought even is being given to cor-raling cor-raling several horses that will be put up for adoption by Murphey on behalf of the American Mustang and Burro Association, one of his charities. As a resident of Taos, N.M., Murphey Mur-phey and his family find time to ride horses of their own, as well as camp and hike in the mountains. Murphey is a family person. His entire family wife Mary, son Ryan, 17, from a previous marriage, and two subsequent children, Brennan, 6, and Laura Lynn, 4 will attend the West Fest, as well as his parents. Murphey describes the upcoming festival as a family event, saying "I have never felt in entertaining that there's enough for families to do. But the West Fest pretty much happens hap-pens early in the day and goes only until about 9:30 at night." It was from his family that Murphey Mur-phey developed his deep love for the West, crediting three grandfathers (one was a step-grandfather). "All three were story-tellers," Murphey recalled, but one in particular had 13 brothers who were all hillbillies from Kentucky who eventually moved mov-ed to Texas. Their way of entertaining entertain-ing was with music and story-telling. "So I heard all of that from the "We need more cultural interchange right here in the West before we start taking this overseas.

"The best thing would be to annex the entire acreage and make Frank Richards promise not to build on it for 20 years and just keep horses there," she said ideologically. "But looking at the big picture.. pic-ture.. .this is a control issue. I believe we are inviting this proposal to be developed in the county if the city denies it and I would rather have control to say 'that is what you will develop.'"

That is all I wanted to do was be a cowboy singer from the very beginning. Later, when I attended at-tended UCLA, I realized there was a lot more depth to the West and the people who portray it, like Georgia O'Keefe and other western artists who are making statements that are pertinent to the whole world." Born in Piano, Texas, Murphey says he's "as much in love with the West as I've ever been before in my life at this minute, and not just the cowboys but the Indians, too. Most western art either depicts the rodeos or the powwows, but I want to bring it all together... I'm sort of surprised how westerners haven't looked at all of it in one place." Murphey feels that presenting all of the elements of the West together is an accurate depiction of history. "Before the government got heavily involved, the Indians and mountain men got along pretty well," said Murphey. "But when we got into western expansion and the government govern-ment broke treaties, the Indians just got mad. We were basically greedy with open arms," he said. "But that picture of the Indians having Thanksgiving with the pilgrims is not inappropriate... I think there's a kind of 'glasnost' between bet-ween cowboys and Indians going on now." Murphey agrees that his message to promote appreciation for the vast attributes of the West is something that would be well served to take on the road. "I've thought of taking a cruise line, just like Buffalo Bill did, and touring Europe with the show," said Murphey. Mur-phey.

Cemetery by JENNIFER MADGIC Record staff writer Invariably each year, gravestones are pushed over. Weeds and chokecherry bushes push their way up between the memorials and various trash finds its way inside the wrought iron gates. Bob Anderson, president of the Glenwood Cemetery Association, chuckles because he can't even be buried here he doesn't live in Park City. Slowly, he walks and points out various points of interest. Lambs heads which have been knocked off children's graves with baseball bats. Fences which have been rammed with cars and destroyed by vandals. Stone memorials shoved off their pedestals lay stoically in the weeds. In between he points out positive features. Intricate fencing fenc-ing surrounds one family's plot. Wildflowers and bulbs are starting star-ting to show up amongst the overgrowth and most of the usual trash is gone. (A group came through during last weekend's City Ci-ty Clean-Up.) The Glenwood Cemetery is Park City's second oldest cemetery the oldest being the City Cemetery along Kearns Boulevard. The grounds are lush, encircled by thick shade trees. Behind the fancy, locked gate is an inviting five acres of history. Graves dated back to the late 1800s rest in peace. Here, names we start taking this overseas.

Murphey's ideas seem to be a hit attendance at the West Fest at Copper Mountain each Labor Day weekend nearly tripled in size during dur-ing the event's second year in 1988. But when Murphey thinks of large audiences, his thoughts wander back to that childhood idol who took a traveling trick show and characters of the West across the countryside.
