The I logic Zoo cubs were born Nov. 19 and were nameless for six months until the winning entry was chosen May 17. "ITobubly the most popular names were Stockton and Malone. says Andrew Wallace, marketing director for I logic Zoo. The zoo received entries from Kentucky, Canada and California, in addition to entries from all over Utah. I le said names of favorite teams also were repeatedly suggested, such as Abbott and Costello but zoo officials "opted to select a name that was more long-terrepresentative of the bears and reflected the animals and their personalities." "We couldn't find the literal translation," Duller said of her hunt for the meaning of the names she suggested. "We lived in Alaska for a long time, she said. "We were told die meaning of it." Butler, of Clearfield, and her husband, Giristophcr Mariscal, had chosen the name Koluk, an Eskimo name, last year for their dog, an Alaskan husky. "Someone stole him out of our back yard, says Butler. "Now at least we have another Koluk running around. They ran ads and searched for their husky with no luck, and decided to pass the name on to one of the polar bear cubs. Butler attended the University of Alaska in Anchorage, where a professor mentioned the meaning of the Eskimo name Kiska, spirited. Butler said it was one of those little trivial things that just stuck in her mind, and when she saw the news and heard g about the contest, she had the names ready and wanted to see the bears. "We went to the zoo, and thats when we entered the contest, she said. Koluk was the rowdy one the day they bear-namin- isitcd the cubs at the zoo. I le's the larger cub, which is usually die calmer one. Butler says she was glad to hear they named the bigger cub Koluk.

The smaller cub is usually the d one, but he was the calm one at the time Butler and Manscal visited the cubs. high-spirite- p.m. The bears personalities are just like childrens, Wallace said. It depends on their moods on any given day. Quincy Boyce, bear keeper for I logic Zoo, works closely with the bears on a daily basis and knows their personalities well. Wallace said he found that the smaller one is much more g and uggressivc than the larger one, so the name Kiska fit the smaller, more spirited cub. Craig Dinsmore, executive director of the zoo, and Boyce chose the winning names. The contest, sponsored by Arctic Circle, Harmon's and Channel 2, officially ended May 10. The winning names were announced at an award ceremony where sponsors presented Butler with a y g family membership to I logic Zoo, a limited edition print of the cubs by local artist Fred Montaquc, a cooler.

CUDDLING WITH CUBS: Clearfield adds blast of pizazz to fireworks n City and state anniversaries combine for boost in budget f . By BRYON SAXTON Davis Bureau Standard-Examin- CLEARFIELD - If fireworks are a barometer, then a 75th city anniversary state celebration. tops a At least thats the way the Clearfield 100-ye- ar City Council sees it. Clearfield City will spend $26,546.65 on fireworks for its Fourth of July celebration to prove that turning 75 can be a blast. The main reason is, they wanted to have it be a little more special because its our 75th anniversary, said Fire Chief Roger Bodily. Bodily, whose firefighters serve as pyrotechnics for the show, said the city last year budgeted $20,000, instead of its usual $15,000, for fireworks at Fisher Park because of the Utah Centennial. The City Council on Tuesday fueled the fire with $5,000 more in recognition of the citys anniversary of incorporation. City Manager Jack Bippes said the actual incorporation date is July 17, 1922, but city officials felt it best to celebrate it during Clearfield Pride Days on July 3 and 4. The city also received literally more bang for its buck when Fireworks West of Logan donated $1,546.65 worth of fireworks because the city is a long-tim- e cus He said crowds forced officials to move to tomer and orders early from the company. the onsaid the Fireworks West was larger park just off 700 South.

Making a run for Special Olympics Fire district officials mull over changes Board weighs options on turning fire district into independent entity r &(, JF By TOM BUSSELBERG Standard-Examin- v - " t . correspondent - The South Davis Fire District is still in very preliminary stages of considering whether to become an entiindependent, ty, says North Salt Lake Mayor Clare Jones.

The torch run was one of many under way throughout Utah, symbolizing efforts by various Utah law enforcement departments to raise money for Special Olympics. A TEAM EFFORT: V CITY LIMITS V think it would Personally, beneficial to citizens of the be ' district, the costs would be reduced, and the level of service might be enhanced. Right now were simply looking at the mechanics, said Jones, chairman of the district board of trustees. Its hard to say that what will happen in the foreseeable future, if ever. 1 Currently, the district receives funding from each of the four cities it serves - West Bountiful, Woods Cross, North Salt Lake and Centerville, plus the unincor- porated county. Each entity pays based on its total property values. Each entity also collects the funds through its own tax mechanism and then pays the district. Under the proposal to become independent, the fire district agency would have its own taxing authority. Citizens are paying tax directly to the district, Jones said about the proposal. This way the mayors get out of the loop. The cities would not be responsible. The mayors would not be caught in the middle. He added that he thought it would be easier for the fire district to function without the large board it has now. About 27 people are involved in the administration of the district, Jones said. Any one of those councils, or members of a council, could conceivably hold us at bay. I think its an uncon- See FIRE2 Manager Dennis Cluff said. On June 10 teh council will make an amendment to the budget to reflect the purchase of the three Ford Ranger Trucks Each new vehicle will cost $10,500. We were looking at used vehicles but for a few thousand dollars more we can get new ones with a warranty," Cluft said. There is a surplus in the budget that will be used to pay tor the trucks, Cluff said. Bountiful Assisted living facility approved An assisted living center has been approved for the northwest side of 100 E Center. It will be a two-stor- y structure on 1 .4 acres. The Bountiful City Council has given its blessing to a preliminary and final site plan. Fruit Heights Subdivision signals Green Road growth Final approval was granted for Wayne Estates subdivision by the city council this month The six-lsubdivision is at approximately 1525 Green Road with construction anticipated to start as soon as paperwork is completed, says City Manager Richard Marchant. This may signal initial development of property along Green Road, he said. He emphasized that it will be the individual property owners along the street who will decide whether and how they wish to develop their properties As a part of the Wayne Subdivision approval, an line will be installed. As the street will be completed, we anticipate the existing water line will be replaced, Marchant said. Farmington Council to discuss impact fees The city council will hold a special meeting June 1 1 at 7 p.m to discuss the capital facilities plan and impact fees A moratorium on new subdivisions will expire the next day, said Mayor Gregory Bell, in calling for the special session. He suggested that new impact fees should be in place. The city has commissioned a study of its impact fees by a Baltimore consulting firm at a cost of $3,500. |
