SE Idaho to send 3 teams to auto event by Jodeane albright jalbright@journalnet.com NAMPA — Three teams of two high school students from Southeast Idaho have qualified to represent their schools in the upcoming 2013 Ford/AAA Student Auto Skills competition to be held in Nampa on Friday. Going to Nampa from Bear Lake High School are Colten Jensen and Taylor Swa, and from Blackfoot High School are Joseph “Joey” Snapp and Cade Hebdon. Thirdplace winners at the Weber State Automotive contest held earlier in Ogden, Utah, from Pocatello High School are Treston Hadley and Scott Charlier. The two-person teams face off for 90 minutes on Friday at 9:30 a.m., at the College of Western Idaho’s Nampa Automotive campus. The teams will try to “beat the clock” and each other and the must correctly identify and fix identical 2013 Ford Focus cars that have been specifically “bugged” to test the students’ skills and know-how. The winning Idaho team will go to Ford headquarters in Dearborn, Mich., June 9 through 11. They may be eligible for millions of dollars in scholarships, trophies and prizes at the state and national level. “This is a tangible way AAA and Ford can demonstrate our commitment to the future of today's youth and build awareness of career op-
portunities in the automotive service industry," said AAA Idaho Director Public Affairs Dave Carlson. “This competition can jump-start education and career plans as it develops a quality workforce equipped to respond to increasingly sophisticated auto repair challenges.” The contest is designed to replicate the kind of real-world experiences an auto technician would face working for a dealership and independent auto repair facility, Carlson noted. He added that the top 10 teams qualified for this “handson” contest based on their scores on a written qualifying exam conducted earlier. Other Idaho high schools and their teams are: n Burley Cassia Regional Tech (1) — Nathanael Brown and Ivan Gerratt. n Burley Cassia Regional Tech (2) — Richard Oppe and Orrin Winslow. n Canyon Owyhee School Services — Dalton Penrod and Lance Lincoln. n Idaho Falls, Eastern Idaho Tech.
