Wc dont hide that; we don't pretend otherwise, and we've been doing that for 10 years. Hatch said it's ridiculous to pretend that candidates dont have party allegiances just because the ballots lack partisan references. Besides, he added, Its unconstituUonal to mandate the political parties not be involved in the municipal races. The state GOP committee also voted to seek legislation barring fusion candidates, that is, people seeking office as members of more than one political party. And the committee voted to support legislation allowing state taxpayers to double the $1 voluntary election donation on tax forms. Bishop told his GOP cohorts not to be complacent. YMCA looks $10 million facility cant replace demolished Deseret Gym but will offer much of the same The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY - The YMCA is looking at three possible downtown sites for a new $10 million gymnasium and recreation center, and officials hope theyll be able to break ground next summer. We want a location that will attract the most people, said Mike Andrews, the YMCAs chief operating officer. Three areas under consideration are the Pioneer Park area, a site close to the razed Deseret Gym and the area near 1100 South and West Temple, Andrews said. YMCA officials are hopeful that land will at 3 sites downtown for new gym be donated for the building. The YMCA became interested in building a new gym this year after the Mormon church-owne- d Deseret Gym was closed and demolished to make way for the new assembly hall. The YMCA hired Dan Jones and Associates to assess the need for a new facility. Some 1,120 former Deseret Gym members were asked if they thought Salt Lake City needs a new gymnasium. Nearly 85 12 percent said it definitely does, while percent said it probably does. Only 1 percent said the area doesnt need a new gym. Utah hasnt had a YMCA facility since 1992, when debt forced its Salt Lake location to close. Now that Salt Lake lacks a downtown community center and gym, the YMCA has the potential to be successful. Andrews said. The Deseret Gym is irreplaceable, but the planned YMCA facility comes as close as anything that could realistically replace it, said Rick Wallman, a Deseret Gym member for 30 years. He led an unsuccessful effort to save the gym from the wrecking ball. Ive got seven kids and I feel like a ship without an anchor right now. Where do you take the kids? Waltman lakes his children to other recreational centers, but none has the mix of swimming pool, basketball and racquet-ba- ll courts that the proposed YMCA facility does. Dan Jones is also surveying community and religious leaders. If they, too, support a new YMCA, the organization will start asjcing for donations. YMCA representatives hope to get support from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints and from local philanthropists. The Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation and other donors helped pay for the $15,000 survey and other preliminary, research. Gerald R. Nichols and Associates Ard firm, chitects Inc., a Salt Lake has designed a preliminary model of the City-base- building. Andrews warns the YMCA will not be . as deluxe as the Deseret Gym. The Deseret Gym was tl)e Cadillac of ' gyms, he said. It would take $50 million' to $75 million to build something like . that.
