Big Bear's Alpine Slide (Continued from D-D dent of the U.S. Alpine Slide Corporation, saw the potential for the Slide in the United States and installed the chute at Big Bromley last summer. Shuff, part owner and general manager of Goldmine Ski Area, feels that the Goldmine Alpine Slide will be the only slide this far west for awhile because it is built on private property. All the other large ski areas are developed on national forest land and will have to submit their plans and wait for approval from the Forest Service before construction.

Shuff says he's invested about $500,000 so far in the attraction, but he feels the project will benefit not only his resort but the overall Moon-ridge area. One immediate benefit, he says, may be with the problem most ski areas have trying to keep good employees, the ability to provide employment year round. Because of Big Bear's measure of sunshine, Goldmine will be open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., seven days a week, creating 20 new jobs. One-man art show slated at Oak Glen YUCAIFA Susan E.

BOWLING OVER Good news from the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barber Shop Quartet Singing in America, an organization that must have one of the longest names on record. Anyway, Thomas Hoeptner, secretary of the Riverside Chapter notes (pun unintentional), "We feel the show (at the Redlands Bowl in August) was a success. Going In, we really had no idea what sort of audience we could draw. We ended up with approximately 2,500 people who gave (by free-will donation) $1,100. We reached a large group who had never heard us before.

We sang at the Bowl, a goal many of our members had wanted to attain for years."

(Continued from D-D SMASHING WINDMILLS Welton Jones, entertainment editor of the San Diego Union, tore apart the new Bellville Dinner Theater production of "Man of La Mancha," but he included a lefthanded compliment for music theater here: "The sets, costumes and properties were rented from the San Bernardino Civic Light Opera, which probably made better use of them." He complains, "Aside from the fact that it (the play) was cast indifferently, staged sluggishly, not choreographed at. all and trimmed to avoid the necessity for ingenuity, there were also the problems that whatever was happening couldn't be seen or heard." After that, he got down to stronger criticism. A critic's life is not an easy one it takes grit to call 'em as one sees and hears 'em.
