Show I- r sum Wednesday, December 23, 1998 Santa is a BIB business Back in July, when you and I were roasting hotdogs on the barbecue, bar-becue, Marisa Smith, University's Mall's marketing director, was busy conducting a nationwide search for Santa. Finding a good Santa is no easy task. He must have a plump, round belly that shakes when he laughs, a pudgy nose, rosy red cheeks, and eyesthat are merry. There's one very important factor fac-tor to any good Santa he must have real beard. A Santa's salary is based on experience and how many hours he's logged "being Santa". After several months of exasperated exas-perated searching, Marisa stumbled onto the "Wee Bee Santa School" and Mr. Jim Jensen. Mr. Jensen recruits mountain men, with real beards, from Montana, who have that special way with children and grooms them to be Santa. The school provides extensive training train-ing on Ho, Ho, Hoing, reindeer handling, chimney escapes, and sleigh driving. Throiighjhe. school, Marist met Chris, this year's University Mall Santa. When Chris isn't being Santa, he and his wife, Mrs. Claus, take care of the forest for-est in the Montana mountains. There's a reason why he is so good with children; he has 12 grandchildren of his own. As for his bear, go ahead and tug on it, it's real (and he never shaves it). Chris' nickname (as you might have guessed) is Santa. But he's also known as St. Nick, and Kris Kringle, and if you call him on the phOne, no matter what time of year, he'll answer, "Santa here."

Som malls will claim they have tht "authentic" Santa, but remembei they're all just Santa's helpers After all, there's only one Sant Claus. Utah gas prices plunge Santa can fill up for less whf n passing through Utah, where gas prices are 25 cents less than one year ago, AAA Utah reported. . The Utah average is $1.04 for a self-serve gallon of regular unleaded, un-leaded, down 8 cents from last month, according to AAA Utah's monthly gas survey. - - Gas prices have been on a steady decline for most of the year due to falling crude oil prices. . . ; v "Crude prices are nearly half of what they were 14 months ago," said AAA Utah spokeswoman spokes-woman Rolayne Fairclough. "Prices have been steadily drifting drift-ing downward like snowflakes, and consumers will get an extra present by paying less for gas." Utah's prices are 2 cents higher than the national average of $1.02, which fell 4 cents from last month, according to AAA Utah. The glut of oil has been swelled by stagnant demand due to economic eco-nomic slowdown in parts of the world and global high production throughout the year. Adding to the oversupply is less driving in winter and the recent mild weather, which has kept demand low for heating oil, analysts say. ' . - "It's still early winter, but so far it's been relatively warm," said Alan Kovski of The Oil Daily, a Washington, D.C. based newsletter. newslet-ter. "And the heating oil markets are already glutted." , OPEC members and other oil-producing oil-producing nations have met repeatedly re-peatedly in unsuccessful efforts to reduce the surplus and thereby boost prices. Last week, oil prices hit a 12-year low. Since last month, gas prices in northern California are down by an average of a penny a gallon to $1.16. Nevada gas prices are down 3 cents to $1.14 a gallon in the same period, according to AAA. 1 |
