Cromar represents West Jordan and areas of Bennion and Kearns. (District 46) Rep. Cromar says the big issues next the facing are Legislature healthy economic growth, a revitalized education system, a fair and equitable tax structure and a speedy criminal justice system and a corrections system. Rep. Cromar says the state is now some crucial facing which problems require decisive a rapidly prompt action growing population that needs jobs; an even faster growing cost-effecti- ft Wk ' I 1 finest education; and a limited tax base to provide for the solution of these and similar problems of a growing dynamic state. Utah's rapid growth will require strategy planning rather than crisis budgeting in the 1985 Legislature. A proven axiom of management is: "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." Utah state government can no longer function without knowing where it wants to go and what priorities it needs to get there. "Many states are more competitive than Utah in giving state economic development aid to attract new industries," says Rep. Cromar. i .'''': It' i 1 if wW Rudy Gonzales of Midvale shows off trophies he won with his :1964 Custom Corvette at the second annual Custom Car Rudy earned ;;Show held at the State Fairgrounds on May first place overall in full custom Corvettes plus the coveted Peoples' Choice award (the large trophy).

It was because of this program that Utah was able to get Stouffers Foods to come to Utah providing 2,000 jobs. Rep. Cromar supported tax incentives for new construction at Kennecott and voted for exempting sales tax on airline mechanics equipment as an incentive to Western Airlines to move mechanics their operations to Utah. A factor just as important as a good tax incentives program to attract industry is education. Of all the Sperry employes Corporation hired last year as the largest private employer in the state, only 50 were trained in Utah's schools. We are not the currently providing education to attract the high paying high tech industries to Utah. The University of Utah has only 60 available slots for students in their computer science department. If we want to attract high tech industry, we need to have a highly educated population. Some Utah school districts do not offer classes above algebra. The Legislature is looking at setting up a microwave system using KUED to bring higher math and science classes to rural Utah. Utah's education system is up against some serious challenges. The extremely large student population in our state requires that we use state tax dollars more efficiently to get the best education for the dollar. Our young people's education must not be neglected, nor money wasted. The public wants value for its money and a state government that responds in a demonstrates that way awareness that the taxpayers purse is neither bottomless nor infinitely replenshible. Rep. Cromar is very pleased with his committee assignments. Because Rep. Cromar's district covers areas of both Granite and Jordan School Districts (the two largest school districts in the state), Rep. Cromar believes his position on the Public Education Appropriais tions Committee very to his constituents. important "We have a young, growing area schools and and quality education are very important for will our children. My assure a voice for my district in educational issues," Rep. Cromar said. Rep. Cromar sponsored major legislation to improve public education. He sponsored and passed a bill giving tax credits to businesses donating computer equipment to our public schools. He also sponsored a bill reducing in the sizes classroom elementary grades. The 1985 Legislature needs to establish a speedy criminal justice system and more cost effective corrections system. needs to The Legislature reevaluate who is sent to prison and examine the problem of early paroles. Rep. Cromar supported H.B. 209 providing for mandatory sentences for crimes against children. It is appalling to me where a Utah court gave a man probation for molesting a child and the same man shortly thereafter molests the sister of that child. Rep. Cromar endorses the concept of more open and responsive government. Describing himself as a citizen legislator, he says his special interest is the people he represents and their interests. He has been an ombudsman for citizens in his district. He says one of his most important during the accomplishments past two years was getting a traffic signal at dangerous intersection by Hercules at 5400 S. 5600 W. Rep. Cromar's colleagues in the House describe him as hardworking and knowledgable. Rep. Cromar is a graduate of economics from Brigham Young University and is employed as a at programmer computer Sperry Corporation. He is a warrant officer in the Utah National Guard 142d Military Intelligence Battalion. He is married to the former Cathy Wardell of Helena, Montana and has four children.

FOR if Monica Cole, who earned a fifth place ribbon with her model of the solar system exhibit, was one of 240 fifth and sixth grade students at Midvale Elementary Science Fair held Thursday and Friday. Students could choose from one of four scientific categories, earth sciences, physical sciences, life sciences, and chemistry. Life science exhibits, many which included life animals and plants, were among the most popular, accounting for 40 percent of those on display. Students taking part were from the classes of Terry Klink, Liz Halloran, Tracy Smith, nlnU O U II uems Lyons, and Laurie Mitcnen. naiyu oneirp, junnn nermansen, Hosemary I S Thursday, May 17,1984 RENT IT FROM DILL Westvale holds annual science fair competition At first glance, a science fair, like the one staged at Westvale must recently, Elementary seem just that, a science fair. But, it takes more than just an interest in science to put together a successful presentation. Other disciplines such as English, artistry, speaking, and even penmanship skills must be employed. None, however, is than the more important of doing actual experience inndepth research, pouring over and reference materials conducting experiments. fifth grade students Ninety-sitook part in the fair, the fifth annual at Westvale. Exhibits covered a wide range of topics from three principle areas of scientific biological study: sciences, physical sciences, and earth sciences. According to teacher Larry Raty, a student's chosen topic often had a great deal to do with the occupation of the father or that of friends of the family or relations. "National Semiconductor is very big out in the area," Raty explained, "so the electronics industry is well represented here." One other popular field was that of biological sciences. Exhibits with plants and live animals like mice, hampsters, rabbits, birds, and even insects were popular. In one instance, a was mice x "battle-of-the-sexe- s" waged, testing whether male or female rats would run a maze the quickest. A female rat took first, but two males were close behind in second and third. The earth sciences were not as heavily involved, but there were a number of interesting exhibits on volcanoes and earthquakes. One student looked into the science of panning for gold. Naturally, his production budget wouldn't permit the use of real gold in his demonstrations, but iron pyrite or "fools gold" worked almost as well. Each student exhibit was judged by Jordan School District science specialist Robert Stack. Awards were given out to the top three in each of the three scientific divisions. There was also an overall award. Leah Duran won the grand prize in the fair for her exhibits on and crystal crystals formation. Winners in earth sciences included Brad Shields, Ashli volcanoes, first; Greenwood, hurricanes, second; arrowAlauna Lamoreaux, heads, third; and James Owen, soils, honorable mention. In physical sciences, Jason Rowland was first with his exhibit on insulation followed by how Jennifer Brozovich, electricity is made, second; Larry McDougal, solar energy, and third; Alyssa Rose, and Jenny Bouck, oscilloscope, cells, honorable mention.
