Show ' Times Newspaper Wednesday, January 5, 2000 Page 10 r If you never had Mr. Alex Lott for a teacher, chances are that you've heard of him. He has taught at Orem Junior High School for the past 34 years, and has decided that it's time to wrap things up! He thinks he's just going to slip on out of here without with-out telling a soul. He's wrong! There's a surprise farewell for Mr. Alex Lott to be held Friday, January 7, 2000 at 7 p.m. at the O.J.H. Auditorium. Shhhhhh!! It's a secret! Refreshments will be served! I le started out teaching Health and Core, but throughout the years moved to teaching Reading, English, and Utah History. You either hated Mr. Lott, or you loved him. He is the kind of ' teacher who doesn't accept he commonly used phrase "I can't." He is the kind of teacher who is strict with rules - no gum, and 2 hall-pass uses per term. If you don't show up to class prepared, it comes out of your citizenship grade, And he makes you get prepared. pre-pared. He demands respect and in return give sit. He wants you to succeed, then oddly enough, you feel that same want for yourself. your-self. Once you got past being 12 years old, you could see right through his toughness. It is completely com-pletely obvious how much he loves his job. It is even more obvious ob-vious how much he loved the kids he taught. His passion for his job shines through when you see him put together his ever-so-famous Utah History Puzzle. If you had him for Reading, you might remember re-member that you were required to read 7-8 books a term. Not only that, you had to pass the book off by answering Mr. Lett's questions. ques-tions. If you couldn't, then it was back to your seat until you could. Mr. Lott is also famous for his field trips. He took the kids to float in The Great Sale Lake, to see where Johnston's Army came through, and to the Park City Silver Sil-ver Mines. These trips were not only fun, he made sure we were all learning. (He gave out work sheets that had to be completed.) If you take a good look around his classroom, you'll see 4-5 Utah Power siieessfii!ly meets Y2EC rollover With the date rollover to Jan. 1, 2000 completed, Utah Power reports it has not experienced any problems associated with the Year 2000 date change.

You'll see maps of Utah, lists of acceptable reading material, classroom rules, even pictures of people whose lives and faces changed forever because of the use of drugs. But what you won't see by just looking around his room is the love and passion he has for teaching the children of this community. He has traveled trav-eled all over this great state for 2 reasons. 1. So he would know the answer an-swer to any questions a child could possibly ask him. 2. He loved his job! It is because of this love and passion that makes him a great teacher. Mr. Lott was tough! He was a hard teacher that demanded good grades. He believed it was possible pos-sible by anyone who would try. He knew each of his students personally. person-ally. He knew their limitations. He also knew of their capabilities. If after several years of having him as a teacher, and he didn't remember your name, he remembered remem-bered where you sat, and what grade you got. He has dedicated a lot of time and energy into teaching our young people. We love what he has given each of us who had him for a teacher, and for the fun, unique way he taught PacifiCorp, said. "I am delighted for our employees that the rollover went well, as they have worked long and hard during the past three years to prepare our systems for this event and to provide pro-vide reliable electric service today like every other day. This is a great day for the world and we are glad to be celebrating this wonderful won-derful event." Richardson went on to say that PacifiCorp customers in the western west-ern U.S. have actually been receiving re-ceiving Year 2000 power since April, 1999. At that time, control system clocks in the generation, transmission and distribution systems were deliberately set to Year 2000 dates and left operating operat-ing with those dates because of the confidence PacifiCorp had in its Y2K preparations. Control system sys-tem clocks will be reset to actual dates later this year." "Business as usual for us means dealing with issues of electric elec-tric service reliability at a moment's notice many times every ev-ery day." Richardson continued. "Preparing for the issues related to Y2K merely focused our expertise exper-tise on a challenge to service reliability reli-ability that would happen at a given moment in time. Our goal is reliable electric service for our customers and we're pleased with this outcome." PacifiCorp serves 1.6 million electricity customers in six western west-ern states. It became a subsidiary of ScottishPower Nov. 29, 1999. ScottishPower serves 5.5 million customers in Great Britain about one in five British households house-holds with electric, gas, telecommunication, tele-communication, water and wastewater waste-water services. TJP We wantsJWoopien MUJn News Tips: 225-1340 us. Mr. Lott was not always strict and tough. He has a great sense of humor too. Occasionally, the room would be silent when all-of-a-sudden someone would scream. He loved to periodically stick a 3 incu long Mormon Cricket in front of your face. And for the past few years he has joked with his classes about being 84 years old. Of course the kids didn't believe be-lieve that old story - until one child would say "oh yes, he must be! He taught my mom!" He always al-ways gets a kick out of that. He taught with a great balance of fun and fact. Mr. Lott will be greatly missed by all! Thank you for your time, your dedication, and your humor. Bust most of all, thank you for loving what you do, so that we too, may find joy in what we do. ' .11.
