Show Supergirl lands in Jackson Jackson Hole "Superman III" was released to theaters only weeks ago, but already they're working on a sequel. A segment from the movie "Supergirl" was recently filmed here, according to the local "Jackson Hole News." A Chamber of Commerce source said the film crew was quiet about their week-long week-long activities filming in the Grand Tetons and around Yellowstone Falls. The segment seg-ment will supposedly show Superman's cousin, Kara, traveling from a distant planet and arriving on Earth in the Tetons.

Rust-colored water is appearing in the Jackson Hole water supply, and some residents are wondering if a local town dump is responsible. re-sponsible. The murky water contains iron bacteria, which is not considered harmful, but has a tint and slime that isn't pretty to look at. The questions center around the town's 200-foot-deep water wells on the National Elk Refuge, which are about a mile downhill from a dump containing old car bodies, appliances, and other garbage. Town administrator ad-ministrator Mel Webb said experts have told him water from the dump is probably too far away to affect the town wells.

Geologist David Love said it was possible water could be draining from the dump, but no connection has been proved. He suggested drilling drill-ing monitor wells to sample groundwater.

Charleston asserted homosexuals homo-sexuals were victimizing the population ("They have molested kids. They have raped kids."), and were responsible for the spread of the AIDS epidemic. Charleston Charles-ton also claimed gays were controlling political life in Mammoth and promised "...'Muckraker' readers will be informed on the political rise of a lesbian queen bee in Mammoth Lakes..." The reaction was immediate im-mediate and decisive. A dozen letters poured into the "Review," all roundly condemning con-demning Charleston. (One, from an unidentified homosexual, homo-sexual, was left in the editor's car.) Writers compared com-pared Charleston to Joe McCarthy and said the "Review" had stooped to "National Enquirer" ethics by printing his letter. A local petition urged merchants not to carry the "Muckraker" paper. But perhaps no one topped the local woman who wrote, "...if all heterosexual men were like Wally Charleston, 99 percent of the women I know would be lesbians..." The largest quake to hit the area in 10-15 years occurred near Mono Lake on July 5, reported the "Review." "Re-view."

Aspen Three presidential candidates can-didates dropped in at Snow-mass, Snow-mass, near Aspen, to woo the international assembly of the Sierra Club. It was the largest gathering of club leaders in Sierra's 19-year-history. Colorado Sen. Gary Hart, speaking on his home ground, vowed to continue the fight against acid rain, and said the government should stop subsidies to the nuclear power industry. Sen.

Still he detailed a number of environmental measures, like a moratorium morator-ium for the rest of the century on offshore oil and gas development. Another candidate, Reubin Askew, advocated a conservation trust fund for the sale of federal lands. After a heated public meeting, the Snowmass Town Council voted, 5-2, not to use the herbicide Banvil with the controversial chemical chem-ical 2,4-D, to stop the Canadian thistle plaguing the town. The council decided de-cided to use cutting and revegetating, with chemicals chemi-cals to be used minimally in remote areas. After three years, the program will be evaluated. Rancher Fritz Benedict said he had been fighting the thistles for thirty years and didn't believe mowing would solve the problem. On the other hand, resident Pati Guzinski said she had been in Vietnam to see the effects on humans of Agent Orange (of which 2,4-D is a prime ingredient). The local Aspen premiere pre-miere of "The Majestic Kid" featured more than just local theater talents. The stars of the Mark Medoff play were Cotter Smith (who played Bobby Kennedy in a recent TV-movie opposite Robert Blake as Jimmy Hoffa) and Ally Sheedy, the heroine of the recent hit movie "War Games."

He is coached by the phantom of his childhood movie hero, the Laredo Kid. soliciting the deaths of Vincent Vehar, his wife and son. Hopkinson's attorney, Muriel Smith, filed the motion on the grounds of new evidence and ineffective assistance as-sistance of past counsel. The document includes two unsigned un-signed affidavits and Smith said the authors will not sign them for fear of retribution. Other affidavits from penitentiary peni-tentiary inmates accuse Spence and Moriarty of intimidating them before they were to testify to a grand jury. One convict said he was slapped around by guards when he refused to measures will not be taken against the one-ton animal, according to the "Jackson Hole Guide." But Anzelmo said the bison will be monitored and destroyed if further attacks occur.
