Sparks said this honorary degree de-gree is probably the most humbling hum-bling recognition he has ever received. "This whole thing is pretty emotional for me. I'm very humbled by it." Although Ashton already holds a doctorate in computer science, receiving this honorary degree is still a very rewarding experience for him. "I am very grateful and honored.

However, lax airline air-line industry and executive branch standards are reasons why Congress passed the 1990 Aviation Security Act.

Fantasy artist Fantasy artist Leonard Parkin, noted for his imaginative and colorful "outer space" art work, visited Lakeridge Jr. High during Art Week at the school. Parkin set up his easle and worked on art projects while students stu-dents leaned over his shoulder. In response to their questions, he would explain his work. The stories he dreams up for his subject sub-ject matter are every bit as imaginative im-aginative as his paintings. Parkin truly believes the imagination im-agination really is a Place. It is said that Parkin paints with his UVCC Receives Refrigeration Training System thanks to Stouffer Foods Corporation Utah Valley Community College Col-lege (UVCC) recently received a $117,000 ammonia refrigeration training system thanks to contributions con-tributions from the state and the Stouffer Foods Corporation. According to Ralph Merrill, director od high technology at UVCC, the dual-stage ammonia refrigeration training system was a collaborative effort between a state committee that seeks to further fur-ther high technology industry in Utah and the Stouffer Foods Corporation Cor-poration in Springville. "The Stouffer's building in Springville is one big freezer cooled by an ammonia refrigeration system sys-tem that needs trained technicians to operate it," Merrill said. Allen Diener, manager of the Stouffer plant in Springville, said the company saw a need for local training in ammonia refrigeration refrigera-tion technology and went to UVCC to help put together a proposal for the state committee. The proposal recommended building a miniature ammonia refrigeration system that could be use for practical application in a classroom setting, Merrill said. That proposal went to the committee com-mittee in April 1989 and was approved ap-proved with UVCC receiving almost al-most $30,000 for the project. The money from the state was used almost entirely to purchase the parts needed to construct the system. Merrill said the training system sys-tem has come at an opportune time when high technology industry in-dustry in Utah County, UVCC is taking every step possible to provide pro-vide the necessary training." He said there are several companies in the area that will be able to use the students trained in ammonia refrigeration. Stouffer put over $80,000 in time, effort and supplies into the ammonia training system, Merrill Mer-rill said. Twelve Stouffer technicians tech-nicians attended the training classes along with UVCC faculty members Allan Davis and Steve Fordham for four hours every Saturday for 52 weeks. Merrill hopes that the collaboration col-laboration with Stouffer's will set aprecedentin educationindustry cooperation. "This effort has been a mutually beneficial joint venture between education and industry. We are very grateful for Stouffer's cooperation and PIANOKEYBOARD LESSONS Play Popular Songs & Hymns in a Few Weeks.

Qeorge Dawson Helping your child Succeed in school by Lily Eskelsen, president Utah Education Association Bill Cosby tells us about the Parent's Curse. The curse each parent places on his children sometime early in life when he says, "Someday you're going to have a. child just like you!" But I think there's more to the curse. It goes, "And you're going to hear yourself saying the same things I said to you." My children, as I assume yours to be, are under the curse. Maybe that's why I couldn't get the smile off my face as I heard my sons scolding Sam the Dog. "Sam, you filthy mutt! You're making a mess. Get your paws off the couch." "In the trash again! How many times do I have to tell you?" "Don't you bark at me like that!" "Sam, You stink. When's the last time you changed your socks?"

FACTS AND FALLACIES Maintaining A Boat I One of the biggest misconceptions 'about power boating is that the fuel bills are high. A 17-foot power boat with a 150 to 175 horsepower stern drive engine will probably cost under $1,000 a year to operate. The reality is that many people don't actually operate the engine for as many hours per year as it seems. In fact, power boaters use their engines an average of only 50 hours a year. Much of the boating enjoyment is at anchor, at the marina or cruising at idle. According to experts at the National Na-tional Marine Manufacturers Association, Asso-ciation, a l7-to-19-foot stern drive boat with 50 hours of actual engine running time will require about $375 in fuel. The cost to operate and maintain main-tain this average boat will be about $805 per year for Sam, the dog they begged for. They know that his actions reflect on them and how effectively they've trained him. They know they are going to have to clean up after him when he gets in trouble. Oh, my, that sounds familiar. My teenage son will still argue with us over his freedoms (or what he perceives to be the lack thereof). Hell tell us that hell be a smarter parent than we are. That hell let his children do what they want when they want with whomever they want. With his eyes lifted toward the heavens hell vow that his kids will know parents who are reasonable, wise and trusting. But when I hear him scold Sam the Dog, I realize the curse is already working. And I smile. It's the same smile I see on the faces of my parents when they hear me with my boys. BARTENDERSCASINO WORKERSDECK HANDS HOSTESSES, ETC. POSITIONS ABOARD CRUISE SHIPS. $300$900 WKLY.
