Charlie Hays, 12, came to that realization about a year ago. "For the last year, Charlie has been talking about where he wants to die," says his mother Susan Hays. He doesn't want to be in a hospital." A sore throat became a death sentence for Charlie four years ago when he was diagnosed with a rare form of throat cancer. Doctors told Charlie then that he had six months to live. "His attitude is what's kept him alive this long," said Mim Rinderknecht, whose son Chad is Charlie's best friend. She said Charlie's doctors have noted that the last time a patient with the same type of cancer lived long enough for the disease to be studied, it was 1871. . ,. . , Charlie is moving to Malibu as April turns to May. He will not be coming back - not in body. Through a serendipitous turn of events, Charlie's parents discovered how much more easily he could breathe at sea level. The cancer that is killing him has filled Charlie's lungs with tumors. He now has to breathe pure oxygen through a portable tank. Jeff and Susan Hays own Capstone Entertainment of Salt Lake City and produce educational videos. Charlie traveled to Malibu recently when they were filming a video with Dr. Laura Schlessinger, a well-known psychologist. "It's amazing how his airways open up in the salt air," his mother said. "He smiles all the time at the beach." Prompted by her son's wishes to have some time alone and to not spend his final days in a hospital, and by his comfort level, Susan ran an ad in The Malibu Times: "MOTHER AND TERMINALLY TERMINAL-LY ILL SON from Utah would like to stay in guest house on beach. Short term needed ASAP. Beach front needed for extra oxygen requirements. Will exchange for cooking, childcare, cleaning and clerical, or exchange entire home for my 5-bedroom beautiful home in Park City, Utah. Call Susan..." A Malibu family responded, offering the home they live next to free-of-charge for as long as the Hays' need accommodations. The family, who want no publicity, told Susan they purchased the home "so no one else would, according to Rinderknecht. A Malibu grocery owner has given the Hays family carte blanche at his store. "They are a wonderful family," Susan said. Susan and two of her children will move to Malibu April 29 or 30.

Arts Center gets a cool $1.05 million Eccles Foundation provides funds for completion of center Council refines process Grant funding will now be tied to general fund. By Sena Flanders RECORD EDITOR Rising up out of the mud to the side of the Park City High School are the first signs of life of Park City's long talked about Performing Arts Center. The past three years have seen of frenzy of discussion and activity concerning the facility, from fundraisers to school board meetings, all geared toward how and when the joint-use joint-use complex could start to take form. Late last week, as workers work-ers were orchestrating the first stages of construction, the Park City Performing Arts Foundation learned it had been awarded a generous grant that will ensure the new building will be able to grow to full size. The George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles Foundation of Salt Lake City, one of Utah's most charitable organizations, announced April 17 that it would award the Performing Arts Foundation a two-part grant for $1,050,000. The donation dona-tion is large enough to meet the Performing Arts Foundation's commitment to pay the Park City School District $1 million for the basic building, but goes even further by providing enough money to build a balcony bal-cony in the facility. Specifically, the grant pro-Please pro-Please see Arts Center, A-2 By Brian Fryer OF THE RECORD STAFF During the last budget process and fiscal year, Park City Municipal Corporation handed out about $1 million in grants and fee waivers to organizations throughout the city. When the grants were distributed last summer, sum-mer, several council members as well as the grant applicants raised questions about the allotment process and since that time, city officials have been trying to streamline and simplify the yearly year-ly grant procedure. At the Thursday, April 18 meeting of the Park City Council, Council Members Shauna Kerr and Paul Sincock, along with finance manager Tom Bakaly unveiled the new proposal. In previous discussions of the grant process the council agreed they usually saw requests for grant funds from organizations representing three distinct interest inter-est groups: the arts, youth interests, inter-ests, and organizations that provide pro-vide a service the city might otherwise oth-erwise undertake like the recycling recy-cling center and the ChamberBureau. Bakaly said that under the new plan, the total amount of grant funding available would now be a percentage of the general fund instead of a percentage of the total city budget. "The general fund is less susceptible sus-ceptible to radical swings than the total city budget," said Bakaly. He added that organizations that receive reduced rent on city property such as KPCW in the Marsac Building, and the Park City Museum on Main Street would not have their contracts reviewed annually like the grant applications. "They would not necessarily be subject to annual review in order to give those organizations some stability with their space," said Bakaly. The council will now decide on a blanket organization that represents rep-resents the interest of several similar organizations. That organization orga-nization will be given grant funding fund-ing to distribute to subsidiary organizations. That organization also will be responsible for making a propos- Please see Council, A-2 USST marketing chief named; Leiweke leaving U.S. Skiing President and CEO Tim Leiweke, who was named Tuesday (Apr. 23) as president of the Los Angeles Kings NHL franchise, will transition out of a full-time capacity with U.S. Skiing but stay closely involved as head of its marketing committee, according to Chairman Nick Badami. At the same time, Badami announced the appointment of former AT&T executive Todd Burnette as Vice President, Corporate Sales. "U.S. Skiing is a much stronger and more stable organization orga-nization as a result of Tim's contribution," said Badami. "We're happy we can structure a relationship which will permit per-mit Tim to maintain a high level of involvement with U.S. Skiing even as he assumes his new responsibilities with the Kings." Burnette, who worked in AT&T sports marketingco sumer communications arena for seven years, has been working closely with Leiweke for six weeks on U.S. Skiing programs. He will takeover all corporate sales responsibilities immediately. "I'm very excited excit-ed to come to U.S. Skiing." said Burnette, a Wyoming native and active skier.

More children die as occupants in motor vehicle crashes than from any other type of injury. In addition to this a large number of permanent disabilities often result. Most of these deaths and injuries are preventable when a child safety seat is correctly installed and used Unfortunately, access to proper safety seats may be a barrier since purchas- . ing enough devices to properly restrain growing families can be a burden. The Summit County Public Health Department has a few "new" child safety seats available to county residents.
