Show Tr1 i . The Park Record 0 Section A Thursday, January 27, 1994 D Page A3 KPCW adds a new translator and a new set of call letters in Coalville by NAN CHALAT-NOAKER Record staff reporter ! You may have noticed this week ,that Park City's local radio station ?tdded another set of call letters to jts growing repertoire. In addition to its original handle, KPCW, and Jast year's expansion to include KCPW in Salt Lake City, deejays are now also referring to KCUA in Coalville. ! According to Station Manager Blair Feulner, the new call letters signal the sign-on a new translator in Coalville which, for the time being, duplicates KPCW's existing programming but expands its range in the North Summit area of the county. Down the road though, feulner said, the station is laying the groundwork for expanded radio programming throughout the county. KCUA can be heard by tuning in lb 92.5FM in and around Coalville. The permit for the frequency, Feulner said, had been there for a long time and was originally proposed as a commercial station. But, he said, the holder of the permit decide the area probably could not support a commercial license. After nearly two years of negotiations Community Wireless of Park City, the non-profit entity which holds the licenses for KPCW and KCPW, purchased the permit. Feulner clarified, the money to build the Coalville translator was provided by federal funds not Park City listener contributions. "Our intention is to eventually offer two services in Summit County but I can't say right now what that will look like." One possibility is that listeners will be able to choose between KPCW's daytime music programming or KCPW's National Public Radio talk shows. Right now, what you hear depends on which side of Parley's Summit you are on between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. After simulcasting state and local news programming from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., KCPW breaks away with NPR programming on 88.3 in Salt Lake City while KPCW offers contemporary music presented by local volunteer deejays on 91.9FM in Park City and and on 88.1FM in parts of Summit County. The two rejoin at 7 p.m. with classical music and BBC news throughout the night. KCPW just signed on a year ago, and according to Feulner, audience reception in Salt Lake City has been "fabulous." Judging by the Arbitron ratings, he estimates the new station has about 10,000 listeners, about twice as many as projected for the first year. But, Feulner said, "We haven't had a chance to survey the people in Coalville, Kamas, Heber and Midway. That's an emerging new market for us." According to Feulner, "The county is growing so rapidly nobody knows what the future looks like." t Provo canyon road still under construction ; Even though winter has quieted Provo Canyon highway construction activity, design work for future projects continues to move forward. ' The Utah Department of Transportation has contracted with a local engineering firm, Centennial Engineering, to develop preliminary designs for the section of U.S. 189 from Wildwood to Deer Creek State Park. Centennial Engineering will spend the next 14 months preparing a design report utilizing the 1989 Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the canyon highway. ; During the design of this phase Of the Provo Canyon highway, UDOT and Centennial are utilizing a variety of ways to provide public input and oversight of highway improvement plans. A citizens design advisory committee has been formed to provide a forum for representatives of concerned groups and give interested individuals the opportunity to advise the project team on plan development. The DAC will meet during the design process to provide comments and critical feedback to UDOT. The first meeting of the DAC will be in early February. In addition, public workshops will be held during the course of the project. The first workshop is scheduled for late February and will provide the chance to review current plan development and provide comments to the design team. A telephone hotline is being used throughout the design phase of this project to provide the public with easy access to up-to-date information. Messages on the hotline will be updated weekly and will allow for callers to place voice mail messages and comments to project team members. The hotline number is 801-268-8391. During the development of proposed designs, the project team will publish a newsletter to provide information about ongoing and upcoming work to interested groups or individuals. The newsletter will also provide information regarding upcoming DAC and public meetings. Additional information regarding design plans for the upper Provo Canyon area can be obtained from Mike Robertson, project manager for Centennial Engineering, at 268-8391, 268-8391, ext. 244, or Randy Park, project manager for UDOT, at 277-8058.

According to organizers, local artists will demonstrate how to make authentic-looking, old-fashioned old-fashioned valentines using lace, ribbons, bows and brightly colored paper. Those attending are encouraged to bring bits of fabric, trinkets, jewelry or mementos to personalize the valentines, as was done years ago. During the afternoon, refreshments will be served and local historians will tell about love, romance and how Valentine's Day was celebrated in early Park City.
