"We'd get a lot of customer comments in the Twin Falls restaurant to Burley," Mandler saftl adding that The newly furnished Burley Skippers is one of the nicest restaurants in his district If it seems like the restaurant went up over night it because it almost did. Construction was started in mid-October by Woods tone Contractors in Burley. Mandler added that all the work on the restaurant was done by sub-contrac-. tors in the Magic Valley area.

Even before the snow and freezing temperatures arrived, the landscaping around the restaurant had been completed by Kimberly Nurs-uries in Kimberly. "We're just hoping this cold weather doesn't effect our opening," Mandler said. Vanhozer has hired 35 new employees to help run the restaurant and said he is always looking for workers who he thinks will make good Skippers employees. Amber Allphin, a student at Burley High School, is one of those new select Skippers employees and said, "I love it!" Allphin said she has had about four hours of orientation and two-and-a-half hours of on the job training to get her prepared for the big opening, today. Allphin will be working around 30 hours a week as a cashier, waitress on the floor and at the drive-up window.

Assistant Manager Dwayne Snell and shift leader Ed Samara are both assisting Vanhozer in the training of the new employees. Snell comes from a position at one of the Idaho Falls restaurants while Samora worked previously at the Pocatello restaurant Snell and Samora have also been doing most of the cooking while training the cooks how to properly dress and prepare the seafood and chicken. Skippers has kept up with the consumer's demand for healthy, nutricious food, which is probably one of the reasons the company has experienced such remarkable growth over the past few years. "We use 100 hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is cholestrol free," Snell said. And for the health conscious eaters, the Skippers menu also includes a baked fish without the breading, a light-catch chicken and fish selection and a variety of salads, which includes a delicious seafood salad.

"Then there is our 5-star award winning clam chowder," Snell said proudly. "Some people come in just for the chowder. It really warms you up!" Skippers will be open from 11 ajn. to 1 1 jn. on Fridays and Saturdays and 1 1 ajn.

to 10 jn. Sundays through Thursdays. As the temperatures drops below zero, it's nice to know that the Skippers chowder bowl will always be kept full with steaming hot chowder. Pay them a visit and find out for yourself. $5)l95 VIHIlWHIUr I ALIGI1MEHT hdMtaaMen.
