Auto Body Repair Dangers By Dennis Hinkamp Consumer Information Writer Utah State University Automobiles have become sophisticated to the point where just changing the oil can give you a great feeling of accomplishment. This sophisication goes beyond the engine compartment. The necessity of smaller, lighter cars that get better mileage has caused considerable change in the overall design of the automobile from the wheels up. Times were when anybody with a rubber mallet, a blow torch and an ugly dog could operate an auto body shop. There was a lot of room for imperfection when the car's body and chassis were two separate parts. Today, 85 percent of the cars on the road incorporate "unibody" construction. This means even slight damage to the body can cause damage to the frame and vice versa. A front-end alignment was all you needed after a fender bender with an older car. With new cars, it is likely the entire car will need to be realigned. Many new car parts are made of Black Bug Infesting Utah Range Grasses Ranchers in central Utah must act quickly to thwart an unusually heavy outbreak of an insect that causes serious damage to range grasses used for livestock feed. . B. Austin, Haws, Utah State University Extension entomologist, said the hatch this spring of the black grass bug (Lubops) is the heaviest in years. Haws conducted surveys in late April in central Utah and found infestations of the bug more than five times greater than last years. Haws said he found 3,298 bugs in 10 sweeps of his net, an average of about 330 bugs per sweep. Last year he averaged only 60 bugs per sweep. The black grass bug is protected by the snow, but hatches and begins to feed as the snow melts, often destroying a rancher's range allotment before the cattle or sheep get there to feed ' ' - high-strength, low-alloy steel because of its light weight. It is also more brittle and becomes weaker if repaired with old conventional torch-welding torch-welding methods. There is a growing concern within the auto insurance industry that body-shop repair methods have not kept pace with the newer, more complex automobiles. Improper repairs can lead to dangerous, possibly deadly, cars on the road. Kent Smith, a claims representative with Northwest National Insurance Co. , told the Utah League of Consumers that many car owners are not aware of the differences in the new cars. Consumers are often more concerned with the paint matching than making sure the car is safe to drive after it has been in an accident. Unfortunately for consumers, there is no required program of certification for auto body shops. Virtually anyone can buy a license to open an auto body shop in Utah. Apparently many have. There are approximately 200 such shops in the Salt Lake valley alone. 1 , rrmrrl.wil:.. "There's only a short time to do anything about them at the lower levels," Haws said. "But at the higher levels there's still time." The bug is found in the lower valleys and up to 10,000 feet. It is small and hard to see. Ranchers can identify its presence by pulling up a handful of grass and looking for little white spots, which are the feeding marks. Control is done with Malathion, 8 ounces per acre. "You can get excellent control if . you spray at the right time," Haws said. . The best time to spray is before the insects lay their eggs. After that, ; Haws said, it's not worth the money spent. Ranchers who need help in . identifying the black grass bug and determining when to spray for itlM should call their local USU Extension county agent. ' So, how does a consumer choose? First, as with other consumer decisions, you want to ask for referrals from people you trust. Ask about how effective the repairs were, not just how well the paint matched. Then visit several of the body shops most often mentioned (most insurance companies will require you to get three estimates) . When visiting the shops, you want to ask questions about the safety record of their repairs. Also, try to find out if the shop owners have kept up with the new technology by training their employees and buying the most modern equipment. An oil aromatized with dill, basil, mint, or rosemary may be used to season noodles, macaroni and spaghetti. - 0 By Jeanne Thayne Paul Cummings of Orem knows where he's going and he's running pell mell to get there. Probably better known throughout the world than he is in Orem, this modest racer is making mak-ing strides running marathons in the United States and other parts of the world. Most recently he placed 8th in the Boston Marathon, outdistancing nearly 5,000 racers in the famous 26-mile run. "I didn't do nearly as well as I'd hoped," says Cummings. He sees racing rac-ing not only as an enjoyable thing to do, it's a way to make a living. While coming in 8th is nothing to sneeze at when you consider the odds, Cummings Cumm-ings has lots of opportunities to outdo out-do himself. "The whole city goes crazy," says Cummings. "Everybody in town knows at least one person running, run-ning, and the whole community turns out. It's also very pretty this time of year." Cummings says there are about 15,000 taking part in that race. There will be three starting lines and they'll converge. "Fortunately.I'm in front," he says. Racing positions are seeded. Cummines works hard to keep his placement secure-in front. In the Spokane race about 1,000 runners a minute will cross the finish line. The race is computerized and can predict the finish time for each runner within 10 seconds. To maintain his speed and endurance, en-durance, Cummings runs an average of 25 miles a day six days a week. "I put in about five hours a day in supporting sup-porting activities," he says. Cummings Cumm-ings runs frequently with Jay Woods during interval training sessions at BYU. That's where Cummings first began running. "I was pretty good at Silver Beavers Awarded Forty-Six Scouters from the Utah National Parks Council, Boy Scouts of America, were honored with Silver Beaver Awards at the annual Council Recognition Banquet . Saturday evening, April 19, held at the BYU Wilkinson Center ballroom. The Silver Beaver Award is the highest award a council can bestow upon an adult volunteer. "The award is made for distinguished noteworthy service of exceptional character to youth . . . " according to the rules and regulations of -the 'Boy Scouts of ' America. "" " ' "tw,i'' Dr. William A. Miller, past President of the Utah National Parks Council, was also honored with the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award. This award is awarded to Eagle Scouts who have distinguished themselves in their professions and in their communities. Dr. Miller is a dentist in Lehi. Senator Jake Gam was the guest Senior Honored For Talents In Architecture Carole Ann Jensen, senior student stu-dent at Mountain View High School has received honors and recognition through her talents in the architectural architec-tural drafting program. At age 12 Carole first became interested in-terested in architecture. She has taken classes at Mountain View the past three years and recently she won first place in the state Sterling Scholar program in the industrial arts category. Carole showed the judges the house plans for a five bedroom home she has drawn for her sister's home which will be built in the South Ogden area. Currently she is completing com-pleting the landscape plans for that home. Carole is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard G. Jensen. She has a 3.88 G.P.A. and since her sophomore year has been a member of the National Na-tional Honor Scoiety, currently serving serv-ing as vice president. She has been a volunteer for school and community activities and served in the summer for the Youth Conservation Corps. She has been a , member of the award winning Country Coun-try Rhythm Cloggers since 7th grade . and just a year ago she was touring with this group throughout Japan. Carole is the recipient of a BYU Presidential Scholarship and plans to enter the "Y" this fall and pursue her major in the architectural field.

Something most people would consider a hardship turned out to benefit Cummings. Layoffs at Geneva. During layoffs he would run. Paul was working at rebuilding the Open hearth. When the last layoff came in October, 1981 and the accompanying accom-panying letter said not to expect a call-back, Paul knew it was time to think about turning his running into a career. The first time he made money was at Las Vegas in December, 1983. Some years are better than others, but Cummings says it's getting easier to run for the money. "The influx in running has stimulated sponsorship." Beatrice Foods puts $3 million into the Chicago race; John Hancock put up $1 million for the Boston Marathon and in Houston, it's Tenneco Oil Co. speaker at the awards banquet. Garn showed and narrated film highlights from his space journey last year. In his opening remarks Garn stated "some people feel that Scouting is no longer important" and went on to say "I couldn't disagree more, I feel Scouting is more important now than ever before." Silver Beaver Awards are allotted by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America on a ratio of one award for every sixty registered units in a council. According to the Scout Office, the Utah National Parks Council is the second largest council in America, in terms of the number of units, and is therefore able to award a large number of Silver Beaver Awards, each year, to deserving Scouters. There are presently 15,897 registered adults serving 38,517 registered boys in the Utah National Parks Council.

SATUHDAYl 'JTTfTt xv YOUNG HOLIES Cummings brought home $25,000 from the Houston run this past January and $5,500 from Boston. "There are about 20-25 races around the world that pay that kind of money." Cummings also races in 10K and 15K races all over the country that usually pay about $5,000 for first place. Bigger races may pay 15 deep. Another thing that keeps Cummings Cumm-ings running is shoes. He helps research and develop Converse shoes and also works with the company in promotional. Last week he was wearing a prototype shoes designed especially for him. Cummings says he wul go through a pair of flats a month and counting all his shoes, wears out about 20 pair of shoes a year. He advises runners to look for comfort first in a shoe, and lightness, second. "Cost of the shoe isn't as important im-portant as how the shoe feels." He says his favorite shoes cost ony $30. A smooth surface is best for running. Roadways are good, cinders and slae surfaces also are okay. Cummings enjoys en-joys the Provo River Trail but warns against running mountain trails because the uneven paths can cause injuries. Cummings says his favorite day for running is an overcast day and about 50 degrees. What does he plan to do when he quits running around the world. Cummings Cum-mings says he graduated in physical education from BYU and would like to become a teacher and coach.. ..what he planned to do in the first place. In the meantime he hopes to keep running until he's about 40, as long as he can make a living for his wife and four children. from the Point of the Mountain south including the Uintah Basin, parts of Nevada and Arizona.
