Heating and Cooling Dealer Recognized For Unique Employee Accomplishments Spanish Fork: So how do individuals become masters of their trade? Generally by learning their trade from an experienced and seasoned master. Such is the case of three of the employees of Triple T Heating and Cooling, Kurt Argyle, Jayson Baker and Garth Aitken. "It was quite an honor, not just for our employees,, "but for us as a company. Consider the following: There are 932 apprenticeship occupations in the United States. In Utah, 412 Apprentices completed the program in 2005. Each year, the Utah Department of Labor recognizes the top Ten apprentices at an awards banquet. In 2005, Triple T Heating and Cooling was the employer for three of the top ten (out of 412) apprentices in all occupations recognized at the awards banquet, with Garth Aitken receiving the top gold award. "It was quite an honor, not just for our employees, Said Brad Tanner, of Triple T, "but for us as a company. We decided long ago that having well trained employees not only benefits our customers in a job well done, but it allows us as a company to run more . efficiently, allowing fewer mistakes on a job, allowing better quality workmanship all the way around" To find out how the Department of Labor apprenticeship program can be a benefit to you, call Brad Tanner at Triple T Heating and Cooling at 798-7711 for more information. Also, if you are in the market for heating and cooling needs, remember, it just makes sense to ensure the quality of workmanship when you are working with natural gas, much like Triple T Heating and Cooling does! !iHmtwiiiHii:Hti!iim;uiii!immHfnuiiMitmm!iimmm my.

Of the 44 suspects who committed suicide, 42 (95) were male and two were female. In addition, 41 percent were substance abusers, 29 percent had a recent criminal legal problem prob-lem and 24 percent had mental health problems. Sixty-four percent of suicides sui-cides were by firearm, 29 percent were hanging and 7 percent were poisonings. poison-ings. Of the 21 homicide victims, vic-tims, 10 were male and 11 were female. Homicide rates were highest among the 18-34 age group and significantly higher among Utahns of HispanicLatino descent for both victims and suspects. All of the homicide suspects sus-pects were male and more than half (52) used a firearm fire-arm in the killing. Twenty percent used a sharp object, ob-ject, 12 percent used personal per-sonal weapons (hands, etc.), and eight percent used a blunt object. In three of the incidents, multiple mul-tiple weapons were used. Regarding the relationship relation-ship of the suspect to the victim, many Utahns believe be-lieve domestic violence always involves intimate partners. But in 2005, just 42 percent per-cent of suspects were intimately inti-mately involved with the victims, while 33 percent were other family members mem-bers and 25 percent were acquaintances, like friends or roommates. The circumstances surrounding sur-rounding the homicides were varied and included lovers' triangles, arguments argu-ments over money or property, mercy killing and mental illness. In some instances, the victim was killed trying to intervene inter-vene on behalf of another person. "The report shows us that domestic violence is far-reaching and affects more Utahns than the public pub-lic realizes," said Brechlin. "All those who die in domestic do-mestic violence incidents, whether by their own hand or someone else, leave behind family and friends who have to cope with the devastation," she added.
