(Live) 700 Club - after figures show months, City Market's "Round-U- p for the Hungry" program has contributed over $20,000 to the Salvation Army throughout Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming market areas. The "Round-Up- " program allows customers to round-u- p their purchase to the next highest dime or any amount they choose. For example, if a customer has a total purchase of $22.35, heshe can simply tell the checker to "Round-Up- " their total purchase to $22.40, $22.50, $23.00, or more. The amount exceeding the total actual purchases will be automatically credited to the "Round-U- p for the Hungry" fund. "Contributions have dropped precipitously since the holidays," said Shelby Kesterson, director of advertising for City Market. Contributions for January and February are a third of what was contributed in December. Maintaining awareness of the program is its biggest challenge. must "The initiative to round-u- p come from the shopper, since City Market checkers are instructed not to ask the customer if she wants to "Round-Up,- " said Kesterson. "We will be reminding customers with a grocery bag flyer explaining the program this week," Kesterson said. The "Round-Up- " program provides coupons for perishable foods, such as, milk, eggs, potatoes, ground beef, chicken, and break, which eliminates the need for separate distribution, handling, and storage by local food banks.

At the monthly board meeting in St. George, Utah, board members expressed concern that certain parties were ignoring the democratic process by introducing legislation to have larger acreages taken out of multiple-us- e and placed in wilderness without adequate public input, and without regard for the impact of the proposed designations on the revenue potential from school trust lands managed by State Lands and Forestry. "We are disturbed by these attempts and feel that these end runs' show a disregard for the process," said State Lands and Forestry Board Chairman, Roger Peart. "We think a balanced assessment of wilderness, taking into account revenue generation from trust lands and other multiple-use values, using the established process, is essential." The State Lands and Forestry Board works with the Division of State Lands and Forestry in managof ing school trust lands. One-nint- h the lands currently within potential wilderness areas arc state school trust lands. The resolution will be sent to Utah Governor Norman H. Bangerter, Utah's congressional delegation and members of appropriate congressional committees. Beta Zeta held meet The Beta Zeta March social was held at the home of Melanie Thompson on March 20th in Green River.

The information is provided by the Southeastern Utah Association of Local Governments and Utah Small Cities, Inc. as a resource for financial and technical assistance available in Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan Counties. Where Credit is Due When small businesses start looking for capital to get started, they encounter discouraging obstacles if they seek a loan smaller than $75,000 from either public or private lending institutions. That is a hard fact, according to 3 recent study by the research organization INTERFACE. "Where Credit is Due: A Study of Small Business Access to Capital" details findings of the INTERFACE survey, involving more than 200 small businesses and some three-doze- n bank lending officers. The publication also reports on organized economic development efforts in rural communities. e Among findings in the report was that private banks and public lending programs will make loans to young firms and minority-owne- d businesses. But more than one-fift- h of the businesses surveyed were unable to get credit from private lenders. And there is a critical need for assistance when the size of a loan request is in the $10,000-$20,00- 0 range. This "gap in financial needs could be helped through a new firm locating in Utah this week. 106-pag- Venture Group to Invest in Business Startup A $250 million capital pool is now in place to help finance new Utah businesses, according to Dr. Lynn Blake, director of business development for Utah. Bain Venture Capital Co. started business in Salt Lake this week. They announced plans to provide small "low-tech- " companies with seed money and also acquire existing businesses through management buyouts through a fund built from previous venture activities. Blake said this is the first of what "we hope to be several announcements of venture funds coming to Utah." The Boston-base- d firm has bought or started over 35 companies and generated about $2.5 billion to reinvest in new starts. They specialize in "mom and pop" operations and established "tech" companies. Bain does not deal in speculative investment.

Regions to Launch Rural Action Program Development to awareness about and A pilot project design a promote framework for developing new business opportunities in rural Utah was described at recent meetings involving development leaders. The new program stemmed from a study by the Western Governors Association, which diagnosed problems preventing healthy development in rural areas. Gov. Bangerter volunteered Utah as a pilot state to show how rural areas could recover from development doldrums. As part of the pilot project, five task forces will be formed the nonprofit organization, Utah Small Cities, Inc., to help form through new economic development plans for rural areas over a two-yeperiod. Five or more people will be appointed to five task forces which will include representation from the Southeastern Utah district, Uintah Basin, and the southwestern rural areas. Some very rural areas of the Wasatch Front will also be part of the program. Each of the five groups will focus on a different aspect of development I) Capital Formation 2) Infrastructure 3) Entrepreneurism 4) (identifying ways to add value Leadership and Image, and 5) Value-Addin- g to unique resources). ar Small Cities, Inc. Funds Matching Regionalfunds the state on a are provided by Currently, matching basis to economic development districts to support projects that would have regional impact. This program, administered for the Division of Business and Economic Development by Utah Small Cities, Inc., was allocated $100,000 for fiscal year 1988-8Since 1985, each region has generally been funded on the basis of population. The southeast region was awarded $25,000 in 1988. Ed Meyer, director of rural marketing for Utah business development, said the state assistance over the years has helped unite fragmented economic 9. development efforts in some areas, and is producing commendable results. Utah Small Cities officials are looking for the pilot efforts to stimulate more business growth backed by a broad range of economic development interests. Help for minority-owne- d small business d small businesses can find avenues of financing through special programs administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the Small Business Administration. Funds are set aside especially to cater to needs of minorities, but the small business owner must be prepared to demonstrate an ability to repay debt, and present a Minority-operate- sound business plan. Impact center gives minority counsel assistance for s Management entrepreneurs is available through a private business consulting company that contracts with the Department of Commerce for matching funds to provide the service to small business clients. Called IMPACT (Institute for Manpower Program Analysis Consultation and Training, Inc.), the firm opemtes out of the Salt Lake metropolitan area. But any minority business in the state that needs services such as loan application packaging and contract negotiations can arrange for IMPACT consultation for a small fee. IMPACT also helps minority firms with such tasks as bid bonding, certification, preparation, cost estimates, quantity "take-offlicensing and blueprint reading.
