Scene, B-5 WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 1 997 SCENE EDITOR Lisa Antonucci 649-9014 ext 104 THE PARK RECORD County mural is all in the family lendcar 13 May 7 Wednesday Park City Clean-up Week continues, 649-6100 7 had put out a public call for entries, along with a list of things they wanted to see featured. The 8'x8" mural will include representations of mining, ranching, farming, skiing, oil and the railroad. Notable locations such as the Uintah Mountains and Echo Canyon will also be included. In addition, Du Charme says she will incorporate a pioneer scene, the area's native plants and trees and the Summit County courthouse. The mural is set to hang in the courthouse, which is currently undergoing extensive renovations to restore it to its original look.

Du Charme mural will be unveiled this August at the Summit County Fair before being displayed in the county's booth at the Utah State Fair this fall. her favorite, she says, are murals. "Because they're big," she says matter-of-factly. "Murals can be overwhelming and shocking. They make people take notice." Du Charme describes her style as both realistic and impressionistic.

She explains her compositions always look real but there is a definite "looseness" in her brush strokes. It is her sense of color, however, which Du Charme believes defines her work. "There's always lots of color color where you wouldn't think color would be." While she won't let on too much about the sesquicentennial mural, she does hint that she'd like it to have lots of texture maybe even some three-dimensional qualities. She says. "It will be lots of motion." Du Charme says she's both excited and nervous about the project.

"It's going to hang in the court house forever," she said. The artist, who studied fine art at Utah State University and Weber State University, said she's been artistically inclined since she was two years old. That's when she drew her first mural on her mother's with permanent marker. She began decorative painting on windows at 15. and continues to paint windows for local merchants with elaborate Christmas scenes each year.

She works in a variety of media pastel, oil. watercolor and will paint "anything that doesn't move." From portraits and landscapes to clothing, signs and decorative painting (in homes), Du Charme enjoys it all. But STOMP, Kingsbury Hall, 8 p.m., 355-ARTS by Lisa Antonucci OF THE RECORD STAFF One hundred and fifty years ago William Hendersen Smith first came to Coalville. He built his cabin where the merchantile now sits on Main Street. To celebrate this historic occasion, it seems only fitting that his great, great, great granddaughter be the one to paint the county's sesquicentennial mural.

"I have lived here my whole life," says Camille Du Charme. "I love Summit County and I'm excited to represent it." Du Charme was recently chosen by the Summit County Commission to paint a mural, which will celebrate the various industries and special locations within the county.

City Park, 649-6100 by Lisa Antonucci OF THE RECORD STAFF Like a champion heavyweight boxer being led to the ring, U2's Bono was paraded through the crowd by police escort to the giant stage erected just for the event. Bobbing and weaving, throwing a few air jabs at the sidelines, the Irish rocker lead his band through a quality concert filled with old favorites and new mixes laced with the band's new "pop" edge.

U2 kicked into high gear with its new tune "Mofo," a cut off its newest release, before slipping into more well-known tracks like "I Will Follow" and "Even Better Than the Real Thing." Noting the concert's false start. Bono thanked the crowd for its patience. "Thanks for for 14 years," he said. Saturday night's show was the band's first appearance in Utah since 1983. He also made reference to the giant mountainside "U2" made out of the university's signature letter.

"You're lucky our name wasn't The Red Hot Chili Peppers or something," he joked. While Bono shed his white boxer's robe and muscle shirt (literally, a shirt that looked like he had body-builder muscles), the rest of the band stayed in costume. Although drummer Larry Mullen, didn't get too imaginative, guitarist The Edge was a '90s version of the rhinestone cowboy, and bassist Adam Clayton was decked in an orange jumpsuit, hard hat and filter mask (perhaps a comment on the 1-15 At $52.50 a ticket, fans expected something big. and U2 did not disappoint. "Big" was the show's theme from the 170'x88' stage to the 15'x50' screen, the concert was a technical wonder.

The screen, which weighed 65,000 pounds, was made of hundreds of lights which projected the concert to the fans at the end of the stadium. The band played under a 100-foot tall yellow arch (picture half a McDonald's sign), with a giant lemon set off to the side. As a final touch, a huge olive complete with pimento was speared to the tip of the world's biggest toothpick. 10 ffm- if lift "ftVvd tt.N SCOTT SINE PARK RECORD The Irish rock band U2, led by lead singer Bono (inset), lit up Salt Lake City's Rice Stadium Saturday night with a giant stage featuring a 100-foot tall arch and a 50-foot high electronic screen which simulcast the show to the 38,000 fans.

"your mother-in-law wears boxer shorts and calls herself Bruce." "your future in-laws promise to pay for the wedding as soon as they win the lottery." These are just a few excerpts from the new book, "You Know You Have INLAWS from HELL by Park City residents Rebecca Alfieri and Allison Thorne.

The book, which hits local stores this week, pokes fun at the many "joys," frustrations and embarrassments that come with having "in-laws." "IN-LAWS" started almost as a joke. Both women thought it might make for a funny subject, but as they started to tell people what they were doing, the more "ammunition" they collected. "Everyone had an in-law story," said Thorne. They began writing anecdotes on scraps of paper, napkins, backs of envelopes, anything they could write on, before they realized how big of a project they had on their hands. The fledgling authors came up with about 220 quips before deciding on the 180 included in the book.

"IN-LAWS" also features 20 illustrations by Park City High School senior Stacie Pittman. While many of the quips poke fun at the infamous mother-in-law, no in-law is spared. Another popular subject is the wedding and everything that can go wrong. From poison ivy in the bouquet to an embarrassing case of inebriation, "INLAWS" highlights everything you would hate to have happen on your big day. "It's a book anyone can enjoy even if they're not married," assures Thorne.

"Everyone will remember a relative or a friend they knew one of these things happened to. (This book) is a way to laugh about these things, and for people to know they're not Alfieri. "The book is meant to be uplifting." Both Alfieri and Thorne admit several of the anecdotes came from firsthand experiences, but note that they have taken special care to make light of situations that could be serious.
