Wasatch's brew was awarded the first-place blue ribbon as the "Peoples Choice" at J the Snowmass Microbrewery festival in Aspen, Colo. "Hefe-Weizen" is a German term meaning "wheat beer with , yeast." The famous Bavarian brew undergoes a special fermenta-' fermenta-' tion process that leaves clouds of yeast in the beer for extra flavor and body. I Said SBC President Greg Schirf, "The demand for our draft ; product was so overwhelming we were practically forced by our dis- tributors to make our beer available in bottles." Schirf added that, though his company is the first in Utah to bottle Hefe-Weizen, it is the Pacific Northwest's most popular brew. Wasatch Brewing Co., now in its 10th year , also announced that f Consumer's Digest magazine members chose the brewer's t Raspberry Wheat as their favorite. That flavor was chosen first in a poll of 17,000 CD members, who responded at a 40 percent rate.

According to Advertising Director Tracy Harden, "so far the reaction from advertisers has been great." She added, "There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm in the community com-munity about going twice weekly, in fact, they are are amazed we are taking tak-ing this step." Harden believes advertisers will benefit by increasing the frequency of getting their message mes-sage to readers. They are also taking advantage of a 50 percent discount when they run the same ad in the second edition. "The Saturday edition edi-tion also means they will be able to hit people who are just here for the weekend." The twice weekly editions will be a boon to classified advertisers who will find the delay between submitting submit-ting that urgent help wanted ad and seeing it in print will be halved. The new deadlines for classified ads are Friday at 5 p.m. for the Wednesday edition and Wednesday at 5 p.m. for the Saturday edition. According to Beverly Robison who coordinates the classified sections, there are significant sig-nificant discounts for those who choose to run consecutive ads. Additional changes also are in cost of $500 each. "The Eccles Foundation has a long history of funding both arts and education," noted Teri Orr, executive director of the Performing Arts Foundation. "We are ecstatic they have seen the long-range long-range benefits of this joint-use facility facil-ity and responded nptonly beyond our initial request but also to build for the future by putting the balcony bal-cony back in the equation that had been eliminated years ago due to budgetary constraints."

"I am in active discussions with those school districts," he said Wednesday. The nearly three-year veteran of the Park City School District caused a furor earlier this year when he confirmed that he was interested in furthering his career. His school board president Nikki Lowry is on the record as saying that her colleagues should begin a search for a replacement before Fielder accepts a new position. Fielder has consistently said that he has not accepted any new position. He says his contract is valid until July 1, 1997 - a point Lowry has disputed. "Two sets of attorneys in Utah and one legal firm in Atlanta have assured me that I have a valid contract until that date," Fielder said. store. Regretfully, after 10 years as a reporter and then editor of The Park Record, Sena Flanders is leaving. She and her husband Ron are expecting a new addition to their family in August. The Park Record is currently conducting a nationwide search for a new editor. In the meantime mean-time veteran reporter Nan Chalat-Noaker Chalat-Noaker will steer the editorial side of the new endeavor. According to Chalat-Noaker, j "Flanders' management skills helped to bring a new professionalism professional-ism to the newspaper.

For years a dedicated group of volunteers vol-unteers had a vision of a public facility that would serve students, residents and visitors alike. We are fortunate the Eccles Foundation understood and shared that vision." In the news release the president of the Eccles Foundation, Spencer F.

In honor of the Eccles' generous donation, the center will be named after the founders, George S. and Dolores Dore Eccles, at a naming ceremony, the date of which has not been announced.

Council Member Hugh Daniels said that perhaps instead of reviewing the grant proposals each year the process could done every two years as the budget is done. Daniels also said money from the city contingency fund should be available for organizations organiza-tions which come up with ideas after they have received their funding. "If someone comes up with a really good idea we should be able to tap into that fund," said Daniels.

I -7 memory said the council should consider how to evaluate new groups. "The problem we face with our youth programs now is that some organizations are going in really different directions," said Harlan. "We may see some group come up that has no track record and we need to have something in place to evaluate them." Daniels noted that the proposed pro-posed percentage for youth organizations orga-nizations was lower, .13 percent, than that for the Arts and Humanities at .23 percent of the total budget. Sincock said it was his view that youth organizations tend to cross over from the city into the county because they are often related to the school district and there are more sources of funding fund-ing available to them. But Council Member Kerr said that could also be the case with the arts community. "I would say our arts community serves a lot 'of people in the county as well," said Kerr. ' Daniels noted that by the time the rent reduction for the teen center was accounted for the numbers evened out. Harlan said the new plan was a vast improvement over the council's coun-cil's previous process. Sincock said he was in favor of raising the percentage of the total grants from 2.24 percent of the general fund to 2.50 because once a percentage is set there seemed to be a tendency to keep it. said.

THE VOICE OF HOPE 1-8Q0-57M717 i1 I : QUINN JACOBSONPARK RECORD But Council Member Chuck Klingenstein said he would be uncomfortable with that at this point. "I don't know that we have 2.50 percent laying around to do that with," said Klingenstein. "If we did that it would have to come from somewhere and right now I don't know where it would come from. We are in the middle of the budget year and I would rather look at raising it when we review the whole budget." Daniels agreed and said the percentages had been raised already .from where they were before and setting a higher percentage per-centage could be done when the entire budget is reviewed. He noted, however, that the money could come from the contingency con-tingency fund. "I would rather have a lower contingency fund because I would like the groups to have the money and be out there doing things," said Daniels. , , ; He said if there were, a, large., amount of unclaimed money in the fund it might be an incentive for some groups to submit incomplete incom-plete plans because they knew there was more money available later on. Under the new grant process the council will be able to donate at least $250,000 annually to affordable housing. The new grant process will be revised and brought back to the council for approval at a later meeting.
