Photo Pat McDowell Credit for Work Skipping School For Fun and Profit On a typical school day Mike Glieden attends the first five class periods at Park City High School, then skips the last two periods. Mike is not ducking classes but going to work at : the Village Pharmacy where he gets school credit for his work. Mike is one of 16 Park City High School students enroll 'i in a new marketing distributive education program. Though PCHS students could earn credit for work in the past this is the first year that distributive education (DE) has been offered. The' DE program will focus more on sales and marketing than the past credit-for-work programs. Dan Jones, the program instructor, i says the DE program will help prepare students for retail, wholesale and service occupations, such as restaurant, department store, and automotive service or management. Jones pointed out that DE instruction instruc-tion gives students who want to work after finishing high school several advantages. ad-vantages. "Distributive education courses give students an early start in business. It allows them to see what type of occupations are available in the community and it gives employers interested and supervised employees," em-ployees," he said. Jones is constructing DE programs for Park City and Wasatch high schools.. This year the program is divided into an introductory exploratory ex-ploratory class and a more advanced, cooperative class for juniors and seniors. The exploratory class examines how marketing works in the free enterprise en-terprise system by studying basic selling, sales promotion, job application ap-plication and other marketing basics. Cooperative classes offer the student classroom instruction to compliment com-pliment on-the-job training. In class in struction centers on five basic com-petancy com-petancy skills: marketing (buying, selling, sales promotion), basic skills (communication skills and marketing math including figuring mark ups, mark downs and sales tax), and economics of marketing (how marketing fits in the free enterprise system, how to market the product and careers in marketing). Cooperative students leave school during the last periods of the day to go to work where the training continues. At work they do a variety of jobs in order to get a broad overview of the business. Students interested in the restaurant business could, for example, exam-ple, wash dishes, take meal orders, serve food, cook and assist with the books. Jones will keep in constant contact with the employers in order to see how each student is progressing. Both the exploratory and cooperative classes are one credit courses. Up to three additional credits can be earned at work by cooperative students. Eventually, Jones hopes to add a second year cooperative course that will allow students to concentrate study on the specific occupation that interests them. Next year he will add a DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) program. DECA is a national youth organization designed to aid DE students in gaining command of the competancy, skills through class instruction, on-the-job training and DECA events. DECA events include business oriented field trips, community projects and workshops. Each year DECA members mem-bers test their skills against other DECA members on a state and national level. One form of DECA competition tests the student's competancy com-petancy skills in simulated business v settings.

Republican Gerald Young got the nod in the primaries Tuesday a week ago and will come up against independent in-dependent Bruce Decker and Democrat "Dutch" Woolstenhulme. "I'm going to have to start getting out and get to work," said 43-year-old Young, an Oakley resident. "Do a little lit-tle knocking on doors, whatever is necessary to make it worthwhile." Young said he was not aware of his opponent's political platforms, but noted that either one, or both, were capable of winning the election. If elected for the two-year commission com-mission post, Young said "I'll be fair and tell the people what I think is wrong in the country and what can be done to help." Wendell "Dutch" Woolstenhulme, 44, or Oakley said he has not organized his campaign as yet, but says he intends to go out and "make myself known." Woolstenhulme, who runs an American Oil gas station and owns a cattle ranch, said, "I just want a good honest County Commission right now." Of particular interest to Woolstenhulme are the farms in the county. INSIDE Sober As A Judge Page 9 Man's Sweet Peas Page 11 ? SAi Training?

The Oakley resident commented com-mented that the newly approved Silver Springs development in Snyderville is "all new to me." Of his opponents, Woolstenhulme commented that Gerald Young "is my best friend," a relationship he felt confident con-fident would continue because "I filed first." "I don't know Bruce (Decker), but I don't think he should've run for the two-year seat. He broke a gentlemen's gen-tlemen's agreement, and if I get elected, elec-ted, I'm going to do something about that. Otherwise, I think Park City could take over the whole commission." com-mission." According the the "gentlemen's agreement" Woolstenhulme referred to, the three major population elements in Summit County Kamas, CoaHlle and Park City rotate bids for the two-year and four-year com-. com-. mission seats. This year is supposed to be Kamas' "turn" for the two-year post, while Park City's "turn" has come round for the four-year seat. Sumit County Clerk Reed Pace said he has researched the agreement and can find no mention of it in writing.

And with 23.000 cars whizzing by daily on Interstate 80. that could become a real asset to Park City. "The Holiday Inn will do a helluva job for Park City," attested Curt Hawkins of the Axelsen Advertising Agency in Salt Lake City, the inn's promoters. Hawkins noted that half that number num-ber of cars will travel Highway 40 in the same time frame, bringing a potential 12 million cars in the vicinity of Park City in the course of a year. Hawkins added that fifty percent of those travelers will be staying overnight over-night somewhere, and the integrity of the name Holiday Inn will bring many of them to this mountain town. A billboard on 1-80 outside Evanston and one on Highway 40 below Daniels Canyon will steer overnighters to Park City, but Hawkins noted that the 1.8 seconds available to read a sign while driving at .55 mph will not persuade per-suade someone to try Holiday Inn. "If a person doesn't know the name, he isn't going to be convinced by a billboard," Hawkins said. "Billboards are strictly for direction." on J: lotei un m AT one iviore not, Zions will own it and put it on the block in the spring." The recent changes in ownership resulted from a legal battle between the hotel, Prudential Federal Savings and Zions Bank. Legal procedings were initiated more than two years ago by former general partner Leonard Jarosz when Prudential withdrew a take out for a $400,000 loan to the C'est Bon. Zions filed a foreclosure suit against the hotel more than a year ago because it had made the $400,000 loan on the strength of Prudential's commitment. com-mitment. The C'est Bon was unable to repay the loan when the short term note became due. At Wednesday night's meeting, Swinter told the commission that Sweetwater entered the recreation land business eight years ago and has i! ill r ' . w ' f - t ay Inn Ad d To Business The bulk of the Holiday Inn advertising adver-tising dollars appropriated by Hawkins are used in promoting Park City as a whole, rather than just the motel. Hawkins' philosophy is there is strength in a unified front. He pointed to the formation of the Vail Resort Association as the key to the success of that ski town, rather than the individual in-dividual promotion of strong properties. proper-ties. Hawkins said few advertising dollars are spent on the consumer, with the emphasis instead placed on the trades. ..airlines, wholesalers, et cetera. He identified the key marketing zones, in order of priority, as California, a 300-mile radius around Salt Lake City, and Chicago-Detroit area. Haw-kins complimented Park City and its many amenities, and shared the limelight with two other lodging accommodaters, Moana Corporation and the Prospector Square Convention Conven-tion Center, another client of the Axelson Advertising Agency. "Moana, Prospector Square and the Holiday Inn will pull Park City kicking and screaming into the 20th Century," Hawkins said confidently.

He said the company bega-selling bega-selling condominium time shares in 1974 and now ranks number nine in the $300 million industry. Under the time-sharing concept, people buy the use of a condominium for a specified block of time each year on a long-term basis. Depending on the time-sharing program, these blocks can be traded for the use of accommodations ac-commodations at other resorts or sold. Sweetwater purchased the Mine Camp project on Empire Ave. several years ago and Swinter said the company com-pany has been trying to locate other properties since that time. The C'est Bon's new name will be the Sweetwater Lift Lodge and it was described as a "cross between a lodge and a condominium project." 4i ... (ii nui 1 |
