Class as5-- 10 sociations for both boats selected the Utah sites after investigating many sites around the country during the past year. In excess of 100 boats will compete in the Laser championships, with the best Laser sailors in the nation coming to Utah for the events, including a few Olympic sailors. The Laser events will be run by a race management team from the United States Yacht Racing Union, the governing body for most sailboat racing in America. The Jaguar XJ12 is a class of one, the world's only production 2 sedan. Its engine is astonishingly smooth, with great reserves of torque even at low speeds. Yet this is a compact it displaces only 326 cubic inches and power-plan17 MPG on theopen road in EPA tests. Coupled delivers with Jaguar's traditional luxury and legendary sports car handling capabilities, the XJ12 is truly a car that must be The Laser is one of the most popular monohull classes in the world, Nordlund said. The level of world competition is quite high, and several Laser fleets compete in Utah. The best 100 crews in the country will compete in the Hobie 16 national championships, having been selected after competition in some 1,500 regattas around the country during 1978. The Hobie 16 is one of the fastest production sailboats in the world, is sold on five continents, and has a high level of competition. Several Hobie 16 fleets sail on Utah water, he added. National publicity for both championship regattas should be extensive, and Utah stands to benefit greatly from the influx of both competitors and spectators for the events, according to Nordlund. The Hobie 16 championships will be of particular significance because 1978 is world championship year for the class, and Hobie 16 world championships will be held in the U.S. in October. Past Hobie 16 championship regatta sites include Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Martha's Vaineyard, Mass., Hilton Head, S.C., and San Diego, CA. Its almost incomprehensible that Utah would be selected for the U.S. championship of two of the most classes prestigious in the world in the same year," says Nordlund. one-desi- gn V-1- mui i 1:1 t: driven to be believed.

The Association contends reimbursements fall short of actual costs because they are calculated at a higher occupancy rate than what really exists. The department's decision has no basis in federal regulation or equity," charged association director Dennis McFall. Allowing the state to further restrict and limit reimbursements based on artificial and unsupported occupancy levels will seriously jeopardize the ability of nursing homes in Utah to render proper patient care," he said. continued on page 19 O OO Bulletins Information on business news, issues and events.
