1' Free Press - Wednesday, Sept. 16, 1987 - Page 3 Boosters to sell LHS sweatshirts ; Last year Linda Bushman anH hor PTA pals were gathering cans for a g project; this year they're selling purple or white sweat shirts with big block letters LHS on fund-raisin- them. The shirts are only $11.50 and they're as warm and comfortable as a heavy sweater or light Bees Continued from front page stops." ; The worker bees only live about 28 days. Without a queen to maintain a .constant supply of workers, the hives are abandoned. After the Thomases scrape the wax caps from the tops of the cells in the honeycomb, they put the frames containing the filled cells in a honey extractor. The extractor spins the honey from the cells and releases it from a spigot type side opening. Earl and Gladys have two or three hives in Lehi, that many more in Levan, and it take them two full days to complete the harvest. Last year a year with a light honey harvest when they were through with the extracting process, they had about eight gallons of honey. They sell part of of their harvest, but keep enough to give to their children and grandchildren. Earl says he's been stung more . - - All funds earned from the sweat shirt project will go toward some worthy high school project.

Fruit laden trees border the beehives in the Thomas' backyard, the blossoms of those trees provide the pollen for the nectar-hungr- y bees, and the harvest is good, both from the trees ands the hives. The phrase, "busy as bees" is literally true. The worker bees usually work for 28 dies then die, they really work themselves to death. And the drone, who does nothing more than mate with the queen bee, dies following the mating game. Noting this, the Thomases caution each other to work at their hobby and their harvest, and then put their feet up and enjoy the fruits of their honey harvest all winter long, and prepare for spring when the work starts all over again.

Box 7. American Fork. Utah 84003 District officials said the contract reached earlier by the administrators and support personnel who are employed by the district. Ardy Greening, a member of the negotiating team and new president of the Alpine Education Association, said the board also agreed to provide for the increased costs required to maintain insurance coverage for employees at their present levels. Mrs. Greening said while teachers were not particularly pleased with the agreement, they were glad to inhave saved the crease. "When the legislature didn't increase the WPU (Weighted Pupil Unit), we knew their wouldn't be any funding (for wage increases). In the first proposal last spring, increases weren't included so there was a lot of relief when that was finalized. It was quite a thing to get that." She explained in the past the district has funded the changes with money saved when instructors at the top of the salary schedule retired. Under the early retirement program in effect this year, however, districts had to return any savings to the state - making it necessary that any change money had to come directly from the district. Mrs. Greening said the negotiation process was delayed through the summer so district officials could see what funding was available. She said the average salary increase for a step or lane change is $600 a year. AEA officials don't expect the negotiations to be any easier in 1988, she said. "When I served as vice president of the AEA three years ago, things were tough. When I was president, they were tougher.

A lot of the teachers are disturbed they're feeling a lot of frustration - but they know the district's hands We have a Mrs. Greening said. "Our first negotiations (this year) has to be with the legislature, not the district." she said. "We have to work with the money that is given to the district. I see a real uphill battle over the next several years." Dr. Clark L. Cox, district superintendent, in presenting the contract for board approval, said he is pleased with the efforts of the negotiating teams and the overall positive communication that took place. He said even though there were some strained times during negotiations, "we have more in common than we do differences. "Overall, the dialogue between the district and the teachers' representatives was very positive. Our teachers have continued to be to the financial empathetic restraints placed on our district by the economic situation here in Utah," Cox said. "Their ratification of this contract without a pay raise is one more indication that they make the education of students their overriding objective." The contract also takes up an insurance update, pay for extracurricular-activities, and sabbatical leave. It also includes a section regarding the district's transfer policy. This was included in response to teachers' concerns about equitable transfers for instructors affected by extended-da- y schedules. Under the extended day schedule, fewer teachers are required, so some instructors had to be transferred from those schools to other schools. The contract also says that the student-educato- r ratio will not be increased above the 1986-8- 7 level.
