Show Mmm- WBnaM9ya I by Rick Drouth . mmJfW ..MIWWWWIWIWpWPWWWMffMWIiWiWWIW KPCW unveils fall programs It's a glorious new fall season. No, not on the networks. On radio station KPCW! Blair Feulner and crew may not have the A-Team, but they've planned an exciting new schedule. The first change is already apparent, to you folks who listen to the morning show. Jan Govednik is playing the records now from 6 to 10 a.m., which leaves Feulner free to concentrate on reporting the news. The "Good Morning, Govednik" show is a lavish production, with the O.D. McGee Jug Orchestra, the George Ricker dancers, and the wacky Not-Ready-for Classical-Hour Players. She's already attracting a cult following. We overheard one male Parkite say, "I wish she was on at night so I could fall asleep listening to the sound of her voice." (A real quote! ) Men with husky whispers call her at 6:30 in the morning and sigh, "Play Misty for me..." But this is only the beginning. The new season also includes these great programs: "Mr. Marconi's Neighborhood." Yes, science can be fun. You'll learn about the wondrous uses of radio equipment right along with little Jody and Julie as they visit Mr. Marconi every week in the Magic Bunker. Discover how to tap into private police calls, and phone lines. With a few twists of the dial, Mr. Marconi converts common bedside radios into transmitters giving us unique life facts you'll never find in the geology texts! Listeners loved the science-fiction series "The Adventures of Ruby." Now the station follows up with "The Adventures of Goofy, a Galactic Retard." Thrill for 39 episodes as Goofy struggles to pull on his socks. Mortimer Snerd guest-stars as Yoda. "Arlene's Country Corner." The City Manager offers tips for sprucing up that house and backyard in the Intermountain West. In her first segment, she calls upon guest Monte Gibson to demonstrate "Common Household Accidents with Axes, Knives and Chainsaws." "My Mother the Car" made TV history. The radio station hopes to do the same as with "My Madame, the Backhoe." Who could have thought that Mother Urban, Park Cityvs old brothel-keeper, would be reincarnated as a backhoe at the Silver Mill project? But she is, and she's got an unconditional permit for laughter Hal Linden stars as the developer who gets into all sorts of zany situations when he's caught talking to construction equipment! "Rate the Rockers" is an exciting new game show. Panelists listen to records and try to accurately rate, from 1 to 10, the level of drugs in the player's metabolism. Has the musician attained a mild buzz-on, or is he ready to chew the asphalt off an interstate highway? You can never tell ! The fun never stops with regular panelists Dr. Bruce Dooley and Police Chief Frank Bell, plus a special guest every week. The panel matches wits against a series of records. Then comes the Mystery Spot. Time for the panel to put on their blindfolds, as a local musician puts on a live performance in the studio for the chance to win valuable ski passes and free saliva tests. "Summit County Rose." Inspired by the popular Axis radio shows of World War II, Chamber Bureau spokeswoman Marty Melcher broadcasts broad-casts demoralizing propaganda to Kamas and Coalville. "Hey, Joe, had a hard day on the farm? You didn't know your girlfriend was here on Main Street all day, dancing, drinking margaritas and munching nachos. Should have seen the ski pro she was with. Give up the beet farm. Better a fast Porsche than the front porch, Joe." The rowdy Hoyt Axton concert made local headlines a few weeks ago. But such antics aren't restricted to Park City. In the Salt Lake Tribune recently, reviewer Tom McCarthey wrote about a concert at Snowbird that was plagued by rowdy spectators. The English group Fixx walked off the stage after a few songs, refusing to put up with the craziness. Parts of the crowd threw empty cans and chairs on stage. Three people were forcibly ejected by security. Guards formed a human firebreak between the audience and the band, which then returned to the stage. At another point, a joker pulled the plug on the lights. Is there something in the mountain air that inspires this stuff? Attention, Chamber Bureau. Park City received a small plug from one of its rivals Roy C. Nelson, owner of the Ogden resort, Snow Basin. Nelson talked about the Utah ski business in a "Deseret News" profile, and credited Park City with starting a new era in the state. It was the first area to appeal to the masses, he said. ,3 Salt, Lake Norinda Burbidge finds " 'hunting offensive. Hunters find Norinda Norin-da Burbidge offensive. Anyway, we thought her remarks in a recent Tribune article might be of interest to environmental-minded Parkites. She makes no bones about it. Hunting is a Freudian little game for men. "The gun is an extension of the male sex organ," she told reporter Tom Wharton. Whar-ton. And women who hunt "suffer from penis envy. It's women's lib taken a step too far." She also said the hatred of hunting goes back in her family. "She feels women are more compassionate toward animals than men, ana reus me story of her grandmother and sister' having a toast every time a hunter bit the dust," said Wharton. She added, "I had a Utah Wildlife Federation member try to punch my lights out once." Sure, the guy's a bozo, but maybe he thought Burbidge was going to break out the Chivas Regal if he died of a heart attack. Two notes on the craziness in the wake of the Korean jetliner incident. Two Salt Lake disc jockeys recorded a song "The Russians are liars" to the music of "Eye of the Tiger." Kip Kraddick of station KLRZ wrote the song and performed it with news director Steve Craig. So far, Kraddick claims in news stories, the song has been requested by stations across the country and has been beamed by satellite behind the Iron Curtain. Calls have also flooded into the station supporting the record. We urge KPCW to get a copy of this tune. They can add it to their collection of Americana including the "Salute to Barney Clark" song which the station reputedly has but is reluctant to play. Note 2: Flash! According to an article in a Salt Lake paper, President ; Reagan's restrained response to the jetliner incident has been endorsed by lieutenant governor David SJ Monson. A sigh of relief sweeps over the Free World! Three bicyclists from Summit Coun-;; ty scored impressive results at: Ketchum, Idaho's "Wagon Days'Vi races, held on Sept. 3-5. The athletes;, are Tom Woaker, of Oakley, and Jim , Rasmussen and Dan Close, of Park; City. The trio were all over the charts : when the results came in for the Senior : 3 and 4 Division for Men. Woaker: finished first in the 84-mile road race.q Rasmussen was tied for second in-that in-that event, but he finished first in the Classic Criterium race. They completely dominated the: Creekside Criterium race, with Ras-t mussen first, Close second and Woaker third. The overall results had Rasmus-; sen first, Woaker second, and Close in, . fourth place. These guys could hit the " moon even without E.T.! ' "Woaker?" you ask. That's the Sun; Valley spelling for Noaker . Finally, remember the image of thet Virgin Mary in San Antonio formed by a porch light that reflected off a car; bumper and onto a nearby wall? Recently the pilgrims who flocked to the house found the vision spoiled by neighbor Leonard Garcia. Garcia flashed on two floodlights and the vision disappeared. He's not an atheist, said Garcia. It's just that he wanted some "peace and quiet." Verily. |
