President of California Factory Stores, Yehuda Netanel, by Anne Augustine Business Editor ST. GEORGE Local businesses and individuals opened their hearts and wallets last week to benefit the first American Heart Association "Celebrity Waiter Dinner A La Heart" held in Utah. The dinner, which saw more than 100 people in attendance, is a pilot program which will be used as an example for other Utah cities. Held as a fund-raiser for heart research, the dinner netted around $3,500 from the enthusiastic guests, who got into the spirit of the evening in a magnanimous way. The Hilton Inn provided the facilities for the event, the social hour preceding the dinner and some of the dinner items.

Other donations of food came from Sysco Distributing and Smith's Foodand Drug. Several other businesses donated items for the lively auction which followed the dinner, including Wal-mart; Kmart; J.C. Penney; Sprouse; Turquoise; Leavitfs Bosch; the Virgin River Casino; Joker Joker; Big-0 Tires; and Merle Norman Cosmetics. Beverly Canty Marshall and Re-nee Smith, both of the Artist Co-op Gallery, donated original water color paintings, and Lyman Whi-taker of Kayenta gave a sandstone and pewter sculpture. Doing the honors as celebrity waiters for the event were Dr.

Craig Booth, Greg Croshaw, Royce Jones, Mark Peterson, Kerry Phillips, Steve Vlassek, David Watson and Vera Wheatley.

This included asking guests for tips in exchange for silverware and food, as well as bribing other waiters or guests to throw pies, perform musical numbers and other feats of daring. Vlassek, who earned more than $600 for his table, was honored with a trophy as "favorite waiter" of the evening. Mike Anderson, at Vlassek's table, won an award as the highest monetary contributor of the evening.

The Rush Limbaugh Show began airing nationally in August, 1988, and the number of affiliates nationwide has mushroomed to well over 300 stations in less than three years. Limbaugh's audience is estimated to be 1.5 million at any given time; he's heard by over 5 million Americans in any given week.

While in larger metropolitan areas his show is usually carried by 'all talk' radio stations, in smaller areas like Cedar City, it is generally the 'country-western' stations who interrupt their music for three hours to offer country music afficionados the opportunity to hear what Rush has to say, and to talk to him themselves. Limbaugh spokesman Lee Van-denhandel says "the preponderance of country music affiliates is due to the fact that the average country listener finds himself in almost total agreement with the stands Limbaugh takes on such issues as abortion, foreign policy, that while there has been signific ant excitement and anticipation surrounding the addition of The Rush Limbaugh Show.

"I really like this," he said as he pointed to a photo of a solar-powered flashlight. To make sure the value of the product was clear, he gleefully explained: "You can't use this in the darkness." Rights vandals WASHINGTON The Outdoor Advertising Association of America, Inc. says business owners' private property rights are threatened by those who would erase billboards from areas of commerce and industry. Senator John Chafee (R-RI) and Rep. John Lewis (D-GA) have come under fire from the association.

The politicians are behind a move to give property rights protection of the Fifth Amendment to the states to decide, including billboard property. fflf 1 TP I Mr rn i my PaineWebber cordially invites you to attend a seminar on TOKYO (AP) Sure, you know about the Walkman stereo headsets and the Honda Civics, those archetypal Japanese products that have conquered many a foreign market. But what about the "Mr. Drink-Too-Much" portable breathalyzer for woozy bar patrons, the anti-dry mouth candy for Scuba divers and, the award-winning solar-powered flashlight? Behind the Japanese consumer products of mass appeal is a rich vein of truly unconventional items, the ones that may not be coming to a local store near you any time soon. Since the mid-1980s, when the domestic consumer market was booming and companies were diversifying, Japanese "have had a high level of interest in anything novel," said Peter Fuchs, editor-in-chief of Business Tokyo magazine, which devotes a regular section to innovative products.

Some find a small niche and catch on. One example would be Meeyan, the candy preferred by Scuba divers because it won't stick in their throats and helps get rid of lry mouth. The candy was introduced last April, selling for about $2 a box. Eitaro Sohonpo Co. sold $36,200 worth last year and expects sales to go up as much as ninefold this year.

Or how about the odor-eating pantyhose and polo shirts that, according to the Nikkei Industrial Daily, are finding a ready market "among women concerned over their olfactory impressions?" Other novel products apparently struggle to win acceptance, such as a recently marketed device worn on one's belt to record how many calories the bearer is putting on or burning off. The "Life Calory," priced at $70, "isn't selling as well as expected," said a company official who spoke on condition ofanonymity. Not all Japanese who dream up novel products have profit in mind. Some just want to have fun. Their ideas are depicted in the pages of Direct Mail Life magazine, whose Kenji Kawakami receives more than 50 written ideas a month from readers who come up with products too wacky even for the eccentric Japanese market.

The Rush Limbaugh Show begins airing Monday on Cedar City's KSUB AM 590. KSUB's Steve Miner, Rod Wray, and Scott Winter note that while Limbaugh is on live, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., KSUB's sister station, KSSD FM 92.5, will continue to carry uninterrupted country music. Miner, Wray and Winter say initial plans called for Limbaugh debut to be delayed until KSSD could return to its full power, which should be within a month or two.
