The Salt Lake City Fire Department invited Classical fans lament loss By C.G.WALLACE "It's much more than a loss of classical Associated Press Writer SALT LAKE music, it's the loss of a cultural CITY Fans of Bach, Beethoven and Brahms across Utah are spitting mad about a public radio station's decision to pull the plug on its classical programming. In March, with little public warning, Utah's public radio station with the KUER longest range (90.1 FM) at the University of Utah decided to switch k from classical to and news. The decision raised so much ire that state lawmakers say they may look into the issue. "It's much more than a loss of classical music, it's the loss of a cultural resource for the entire state of Utah," said Ricklen Nobis, who was KUER's afternoon classics host for 22 years and now works for the Utah Symphony.. "We see this as a real loss in the texture of life here in Utah." The station's general manager says there is still plenty of classical music on the radio dial, including Brigham Young Universipublic staty's ' tion. But many have resisted switching over, wanting to stay as true to the University of Utah station as they do its football team. Others in rural areas say KUER was the only classical station they could get. "I think there's so much all-tal- resource for the entire state of Utah." Ricklen Nobis, Utah Symphony talk stuff on the air," said retired attorney James Cowley, a KUER loyalist. "Classical music is just not there unless you want to go to BYU, and then that gets mixed up in all the devotional stuff." the usually staid music connoisseurs have sprung into action, confident they can pressure KUER to change its mind "by sheer public tenacity," said M. Ray Kingston, a local music classical activist and retired archiSo KPCW. Manager Blair Fuel-ne- r says KUER's format is now nearly identical to his station's, playing the same National Public Radio shows along with local news. He says that because KUER, as part of the University of Utah, gets $400,000 in state funds and his station gets no state money, he can't compete for the same audience. Last week, Fuelner made these points to the state's Information Technology Commission, an ; advisory jfttneT to Gov. Mike Leavitt and the Legislature He argued that KUER should be forced to have public hearings around the state on the format change.

Mike Leavitt's family, has reappeared at the facility The Dry Valley hatchery in Loa was site of the first reported outbreak of the disease, in 1991. Since then, the disease, caused by a parasite, has spread to many of Utah's prime trout waters. The quarantine placed on the Dry Valley hatchery was eventually lifted, but a report released Friday shows the hatchery has been contaminated again. Samples taken in April showed five of 10 fish were infected. The report, from the Washington Animal Disease Diagnostic Lab, also showed a second infested hatchery in nearby Koosharem, in Sevier County. Dean Rickenbach, owner of the Koosharem hatchery, said he bought fish from the Leavitts in March. infected Transferring fish in 1991 resulted in a $25,000 fine for the Leavitt's. The facility's owner is listed as Dixie Leavitt, the father of Gov. Mike Leavitt. In both recent cases, the fish tested were rainbow trout. And in both cases, the hatcheries had previously been certified clean by the Utah Department of Agriculture and were free to sell live fish. Both hatcheries are now under quarantine. Rickenbach said all of the fish from his facility were sent to a plant in Koosharem. But trout with whirling disease that have made it into the wild have created problems throughout the state. Last year, millions of fish had to be destroyed after whirling disease was discovered in the Department of Wildlife Resources' Midway Hatchery.
