2-ARIZONA DAILY SUN, Flagstaff, Arizona, Wednesday, October 14, 1998 By LUKAS VELUSH Sun Staff Reporter Rep. J.D. Hayworth and Democratic challenger Steve Owens might not debate in Flagstaff this election year because Congress still has to agree on next years budget with only 20 days before Election Day. A Tuesday debate between Hayworth, District 6s incumbent Republican, and Owens was canceled Tuesday morning. Hayworth is in Washington doing the duties he was hired to do in 1996, said Jeff Breedlove, a consultant on Hayworths campaign.

One debate has been held so far in Payson, and a television debate was also held in Tempe at the KAET studios. Breedlove said Hayworths office is attempting to reschedule the debate with Owens, Libertarian candidate Robert Anderson and the Navajo-Hopi Observer, the proposed host of the debate. Owens, reached by phone Tuesday afternoon, doesnt know if a second date will be agreed upon. Theres some talk of it being rescheduled, we just dont know, he said. (Hayworth) has turned down debates in a variety of other locations, most recently in Globe.

Weve tried to get him to debate in Winslow, in Window Rock, in Florence. Owens said he has a full schedule between now and Election Day, with several more stops in Flagstaff. The reason were in this situation now is because Congress has failed to National Public Radios weekend edition host Matt Martinez stands in the new KNAU studio on Northern Arizona Universitys south campus on Wednesday morning. KNAU is celebrating its 15th anniversary and will have an open house Saturday. i KNAU kicks off annual pledge drive One of the technological upgrades KNAU brought into the facilities is an ISDN line.

This highspeed phone line allows the station to send and receive digital audio signals from any station with the same technology nationwide, Nycklemoe said. This allows the station to transmit late-breaking news stories within minutes of production. The audio quality has also been improved throughout the station because of digital equipment. Other technological advances also include an 8-track digital editor that can record 180 hours worth of studio sound into the computers. It also has state-of-the-art CD players that can play the 4,000 CDs in the music library.

In addition, the administrative offices also are located in the building. Prior to the move, the administration and the studios were in separate buildings at NAU. These technological advances are helping KNAU submerge selves into Northern Arizona's culture. In 1983, KNAU was a small, college radio station broadcasting classical music and NPR programming at 10 watts. Fifteen years and 100.000 watts later, KNAU has transformed into regional public radio network drawing more than 60.000 listeners.

Some people perceive KNAU as a sleepy, small college radio station, Pastrick said. Now it is a vibrant, cultural institution that serves the public in many ways. KNAU features NPR programming and plays classical music appealing to all ages, she said. KNAU also collaborates with art and cultural groups, including the Flagstaff Symphony Orchestra, Centennial Spectrum Series and the Museum of Northern Arizona. This type of programming costs in excess of $170,000 a year, and is mainly funded by listeners.

Pastrick said the upcoming pledge drive is vital it will help pay for the operating costs. Pastrick said much of the fundraising will be done through direct mail so the station can focus on regular programming. Beginning Friday, listeners can also call in to donate money to the station. As soon as the $140,000 goal is met, the fund-raising will end. Those interested in donating money to KNAU can call 523-9611 or (800) 523-5628.

Last year about $130,000 was donated by listeners. This money, along with donations from corporate underwriters and NAU, allowed KNAU to move to a new site on the NAU campus and invest in high-tech equipment. By JENNIFER GURECKI Sun Staff Reporter When KNAU was forced to move out of the basement of the Performing and Fine Arts Building on campus and into a spacious, state-of-the-art facility, no one seemed to mind. The move here was a long time coming, said Julie Pastrick, marketing manager for -KNAU. The new KNAU facility, located on the south campus of NAU, houses three broadcast studios, two production studios and one large area for performances and interviews.

One of the studios is sit-down, allowing for handicapped accessibility. KNAU is set to kick off its annual pledge drive at 6 a.m. Friday. The goal is to raise $140,000 through a Less Time Fundraising, More Time Programming pledge drive. An open house will be held from 10 a.m.

to 4 p.m. Saturday. We have some of the nicest studios in the state, said Erik Nyckle-moe, program diredor for KNAU. All of the studios are equipped with high-tech digital equipment, enhancing the sound and making it more clear. Nycklemoe said through past pledge drives, the station was able to save and raise enough money to buy a quarter of a million dollars worth of equipment.

Main Wells Fargo branch being sold after ruling By G.E. ROYBAL lion. Sun Staff Reporter The Justice Department rejected a Just 29 months after Wells Fargo previous list of branches Wells Fargo-acquired First Interstate Bank and Norwest wanted to divest, with an moved into Flagstaff, the main Wells equal number of branches from both Fargo branch at .2 Birch Ave-is banks offered for sale. Mary Tolan Sun Staff Reporter Mom wouldnt trade kids for her career A couple, newlywed, spent the night with my boys and me last week. They watched me do the working single momhomeworkdinnerrun to the storebedtime scene and after the boys were asleep the three of us sat up late (late for moms: 9 p.m.) talking.

We discussed work (theyre journalists, too), people we knew in common, where we wanted to be down the road. And then the woman asked me: kids, is it worth it? Are you glad you have the boys, or does it cut a lot into your career? It took me under three seconds to respond. I wouldnt trade them in for a job at the New York Times or at NBC. Lately it feels like my job is getting in the way of my time with the boys, instead of the other way around. Im talking dentist appointments, orthodontists, doctors, piano lessons, basketball, not to mention the all-important hanging out to be there when something big to them comes up, yet my job requires 40 hours a week of me sure its a juggling number.

And there are the brotherly arguments, the worry about not getting homework done, the fretting about buddies moving away to different cities, the disappointment that I wont buy the $50 jeans that are in right now. But still, theres no question. When I come home from work and find a note on my door that reads, Mom XOXOXOX signed by my.9-year-old, the hassles melt -r the same guy comes out of his room the morning of picture day wearing dark cords, long-sleeved black T-shirt, a bolo tie, cowboy boots and my grandfathers old cowboy hat and he looks like he was bom a cowboy (if you ignore the tail on the back of his head), the juggling seems inconsequential. When my 10-year-old spends three hours on homework one night, but tells his younger brother, But its math I like, and, besides, our class will be more prepared for sixth grade than any other class at school, it all seems to mean something bigger than my career. And when, at a birthday party, a young boy gets stuck rock climbing and asks my son to go for help and he answers, I can go for help.

But Im a big brother, and I can talk you through this and tell you where to put your feet and where to hold on and help you get down yourself," and he does just that, I know this is the good stuff. And when my little guy does something especially nice for his brother and I comment that he's such a generous boy and he says, I get that from you, Mom, and I say, Thank you, but sometimes I think you were just bom that way," and he says, See, Im still right. I get that from you becausb you bom me," I know life is good. In my mind, the years living with them are flying by. They can make me laugh as hard as the funniest comedian, and they can make me want to pull my hair out, roots and all.

But they still snuggle up to me when I read to them on the couch, and they tell me I'm crazy in a good way and they make me proud at school and out in the community. I've had people tell me being a parent gets harder as the kids get older. Recently, people have been saying watch out for the teen years. I know there will be challenges, but there always have been. For me, being a parent has been more and more fun as they get older.

I loved the baby stages, the toddler years, the preschoolers and now its only better. So to my friend with the doubts about parenting versus career I say you can always write and sell your work. But being a parent is the biggest blast Ive ever had. And parenting docs not cut out a career. It just puts it in perspective.

Election ji do its job, Owens said. Theyye been preoccupied with vacations arid investigations. They were supposed to pass all these (budget) spending bills by the first of October. Its unfortunate I think a number of people were looking forward to this de- Breedlove is more hopeful: WeVe already in negotiations with both of our opponents through the good offices of the Navajo-Hopi Observe. We hope we can find a date.

Breedlove said Hayworths first priority is to tend to matters in Washington. After triats done, he can then hit the campaign trail. The candidates are scheduled to do a radio debate in Phoenix on Friday and next week will debate before the editorial boards of both The Arizona Republic and Tribune papers. Both have scheduled several visits to Flagstaff before Election Day. If the debate hadnt been canceled, Hayworth had planned to have Rep.

Dick Armey, the Republican House Majority Leader from Texas, on hand at a $25 per-plate Hayworth fundraiser and also present at the debate! Breedlove said Hayworth hopes to get Armey to Flagstaff yet, hopefully before Election Day. It common practice for the Justice Department to advise the sale of branches that dont have the name thats going to be used after the merg-J er, she said. i Wells Fargo-Norwest will operate under the Wells Fargo name once the merger is complete, are trying to complete the merger between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1, Taylor said.

But with two Norwest Bank branches in Flagstaff versus five Wells Fargo branches, bank officials were able to sell off only one branch to meet the Justice Department guidelines. The Department of Justice defines how much market share a given bank can have in a geographical area. If its more than about 23 percent at the time of merger, the bank must begin selling off deposits. The downtown Wells Fargo main branch, at 2 E. Birch is worth about $50 million in deposits almost exactly what Wells Fargo was required to sell in Flagstaff to fall under the Justice Department guidelines, she said.

The sale of the Flagstaff branch and its 13 full-time employees comes courtesy of a Department of Justice ruling that prohibits a bank from owning too much in a local market, said Marilyn Taylor, Wells Fargo spokeswoman. The five grocery store branches already open in Flagstaff will remain open, but depositors will have to change accounts from the main branch to one of the in-store offices. Taylor said she cant say who nor how many people have expressed interest in buying some or all of the 14 Wells Fargo and Norwest branches in Arizona being put up for sale, but its been lots. A great deal.

Twelve bank branches in eight Nevada cities are also being sold, and they too have attracted a lot of attention, Taylor said. The Flagstaff bank is the only Wells Fargo branch in 10 Arizona cities that is being sold. The rest of the 13 branches are Norwest Bank branches, mostly jn the Valley.

Tom Atwood has publicly criticized the contract between CCC and Jones StudroWyatt Rhodes architects, stating that it believes the 14 percent fee is too high. Other people who work with architectural contracts say it's tough to make a call on the contract until its released to the public.

The board has said it will release the details of the contract after it is approved. So far, the college has said that the nor an elderly male.

The fee is based on a percentage of the cost to design and construct the campus. It includes $1.4 million for basic services such as architectural design, engineering and plumbing, or about 7.5 percent of the $10 million project cost, plus another $1.3 million for reimbursable expenses like drawings, travel and landscaping. The pedestrians were inside the crosswalk, and the 3-year-old boy was being carried when they were struck and thrown to the ground, Wright said.
