CNS is one of 30 ATE concurrent enrollment courses available at PGHS. ATE training for the future By Linda Butler Many students at Pleasant Grove High School are earning college credit while enrolled in high school. Some students take the advanced placement (AP) route through accelerated courses and the AP testing in the spring. Others are enrolled in Ednet or UVSC Distance Learning courses. One of the more exciting programs, Applied Technology Education (ATE) combines com-bines academic with practical education in a wide variety of courses. Students in ATE courses receive both high school and college credit while they acquire important educational educa-tional and life skills. "The advantages of taking concurrent enrollment are free college credit, marketable mar-ketable skills for employment, and preparation prepa-ration for the rigors of college classes," said Ileen Strasburg, ATE Coordinator. "ATE puts the academics and skills together, it gives the students hands-on application." Travis Clements is enrolled in the Pro Start Restaurant course. He's found it to be an excellent foundation for his future career in the food servicerestaurant busi ness. "This is my second year," he said. "I want to study culinary arts at UVSC." Travis and his Pro Start classmates used their culinary and hosting skills recently as they planned, prepared, and served a luncheon to about 30 PGHS teachers, administrators, and guests who are involved with the ATE program at the school. Pro Start teacher Susan Schuh-macher Schuh-macher praised her students' professionalism, professional-ism, "This is high class stuff," she said.

Other changes include disbanding dis-banding neighborhood committees com-mittees and deregulating the originally mandated quarterly quarter-ly neighborhood meetings. , Newly-elected chairs and secretaries will serve on the NAB for an extended two-year two-year term effective Feb. 17. Current vice-chairs mcluding Shelly Harper, who was ratified at the Tuesday meeting, will finish the duration dura-tion of their one-year terms. These changes were presented pre-sented to the council by city attorney Christina Petersen and NAB chair Libby Flegal as an effort to streamline the NAB. "The vice-chairs, once they were elected, that was kind of it," said Flegal. "They just didn't have anything any-thing to do." Neighborhood committees commit-tees had a similar lack of direction and were difficult to keep fully staffed. See NAB on Page 8 City leaders ask citizens for patience By Robert Cunningham For two years, the citizens citi-zens of Mahogany Drive have been waiting for the City Council to approve a boundary adjustment that would make them Cedar Hills citizens and lower their utility bills. Recently, the City Hall has been inundated with phone calls asking if the council had made any decisions. deci-sions. At the Feb. 17 City Council Coun-cil meeting, the -council decided to wait a little longer. For the council to approve the adjustment, an inter-local . agreement between the two municipalities municipal-ities must be signed. The agreement will clari fy any misunderstandings that may arise pertaining to the borders and sets a standard stan-dard for future city relations. rela-tions. Pleasant Grove sent Cedar Hills the same agreement agree-ment that has been established estab-lished with Lindon City. Cedar Hills responded with several changes that city administrator Frank Mills calls "one-sided." The council agrees that Cedar Hills' amendments to the inter-local agreement strongly favor Cedar Hills and eliminates any compromise. compro-mise. "Why even have an agreement?" said Mills.
