Mont. (AP) When Atlantic Richfield Co. shut down the Anaconda Co. smelter in 1981. leaving behind lonely, towering smokestack and mountains of ugly Anaconda itself lapsed into an identity crisis.

Thousands of people moved away. Smaller local businesses the cor-her grocers, auto shops and cafes fought to stay afloat many unsuccessfully. Community leaders already had torn down many of the buildings in the center of town in anticipation of a shopping mall that never materialized. Now. 15 years later, there is a bright spot, touted by some as Anaconda's ticket out of a long economic struggle.

It is a Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, a sprawling $15 million project where the old smelter once stood. Organizers claim it will draw golfers from around the country, making Anaconda, which sits at the base of the Pintler Mountains, a major tourist attraction. The Old Works Golf Course is to open next spring, and the 10,300 residents of Anaconda-Deer Lodge, which has a combined city-county government, are debating an issue some feel is as critical as the design of the course itself: Will the course essentially be just another tenant, with convenience stores and mobile homes popping up around it as developers see fit? Or will the area be more upscale, reserved for specialty shops, restaurants and expensive homes? For Peg Chilcote. who moved away with her husband about 20 years ago thinking Anaconda was a town with out a future, the choice is clear. "Every time I'd come home there 'd be another building missing, burned down or torn down." said Chilcote, who returned a few years ago to sell real estate.

The property around the course soon will be in high demand. Chilcote and others think the county planning board should act now to preserve it for high-quality homes, office buildings and a convention center. She said there is a potential to make Anaconda the center for year-round recreation, with the golf course, Georgetown Lake to the west. Fairmont Hot Springs with its golf course and hot springs, and the nearby Discovery Basin Ski area. The key is consistency, said Mike King, a member of the golf course board.

King thinks local planners should pick a theme and then seek out businesses or housing developers that fit it Local promoters may have a way to go. In the American Automobile Association guide to the region, for example, Anaconda has just one business listing, a restaurant. "Anaconda's a great place to live, but the only people who understand that are the people who live here," King said. Bringing residents means building more homes, but the type of homes is under debate. Bill Hickey, who lobbied for the course, hopes it will draw retirees who would stay in condominiums or town houses during the warmer months, then leave, lessening the pressure on the town's roads, schools, and other services.

To Hickey, it makes sense to pack as many tax-paying property owners into the area as possible. And if con- News from past issues of the ELKO FREE PRESS compiled by the Northeastern Nevada Museum staff. He's seen too many letdowns in the failed booi makrng flexible plans dis past, such as a factory, to let inflexible courage businesses. He and others feel the real estate market should dictate what goes in next to, the course. "Rather than to go out and entice things to come here, with all kinds of carrots, maybe it's better to let the course become what it will," Verstraete said.

"If you're out soliciting, sometimes you give away too much, and the bargaining advantage is on the other end." And. like most organizers, he doesn't want to upset local businesses. Time is running short to devise a development plan for the land around the course. Qrganizers spent five months dickering over where to place the main road into the course. The county planning board wants the players to reach a general, philosophical agreement about how to proceed by the end of the month, and ARCO.

which used the course as a less expensive way of cleaning up decades of smelting waste, also is anxious for a plan. In July, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is expected to decide how ARCO should clean up metals in Anaconda's soils. ARCO would like an idea of how buildings will be laid out, so it can clean in specific spots. The German Brewers' Association still hasn't taken an official position on genetic engineering.

But Dederichs said German breweries value purity over the possible advantages of genetic changes. "With genetically engineered yeast, you can stabilize the froth" so beer keeps its head longer. Dederichs said. "But who wants to sit 20 minutes with a glass of Koelsch?" he asked, referring to a regional brand from Cologne served in small glasses that are constantly refilled. Germans oppose genetically altered ingredients in beer on Saturday and Sunday.

Germany (AP) Five centuries ago, Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV laid down the Reinheitsgebot. or purity law, for German beer. No one has dared mess with it since.

At least not until genetic engineering came along. German lawmakers in the European Parliament are furious that the body wouldn't ban the use of genetically altered ingredients, or at least make brewers tell the consumer on the label. "We don't object to genetic engineering in general, but the heitsgebot is our culture, our tradition," lawmaker Willi Goerlach said Thursday at a news conference in Bonn. Beer, of course, was served. Added another deputy, Dagmar Roth-Behrendt: "People need to feel that there are things you can rely on." With 1.200 breweries and 5.000 brands of beer.

Germans have always been careful about what goes into their second-favorite beverage after coffee. In 1987. the then-West German government tried to ban foreign beers that don't follow the Reinheitsgebot, which dates to 1516 and allows nothing but water, barley malt, hops and yeast for brewing.

Tues 2, 6' rrm The European Union's High Court in Luxembourg rejected the ban. but brands not brewed according to the purity law still have practically no chance in the German market. In May, the European Parliament rejected a German motion to require EU states to label foods with genetically altered ingredients. Goerlach and Roth-Behrendt are now trying to get the German parliament to require breweries to disclose any genetic engineering on their labels. Scientists know how to genetically alter the traditional ingredients of beer especially yeast to save time and cost for breweries.

Erich Dederichs of the German Brewers' Association said such changes could let breweries double their production. Most American mass-produced beers use additives to enhance the foam, clarify the beer and improve the body. In addition, most popular beers contain rice and corn it's cheaper and has a different flavor. But none use genetically altered ingredients, according to Deb Carey, founder of New Glarus Brewing, a microbrewery in New Glarus, She said higher temperatures and other additives can accomplish much of the same.
