Centennial receives $9,000 is astronomy equipment

Posted on by

The Centennial School District has received $9,000 worth of astronomy equipment from the estate of a longtime Warminster resident.

Eileen Corbett, of Upper Southampton, donated a Meade, 12-inch Lx400 ACF telescope and a personal observatory dome to Centennial on May 28 from the estate of her deceased cousin, Joseph J. Franz.

Franz, 73, died Feb. 9, according to published reports.

He worked as an aerospace engineer at the Naval Air Development Center in Warminster for more than 30 years, leading innovations in high-altitude engineering. His work resulted in several patents, inventions, publications and honors, according to the school district.

The telescope and personal observatory dome are professional grade astronomy tools that Franz enjoyed at home, school officials said. The Meade 12-inch Lx400 is considered one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced telescopes available for the serious amateur astronomer, according to the astronomy website, Skies Unlimited.

Its a community member who has lived in our school district and had a passion for her cousins work in terms of his own personal passion for astronomy, science and star-gazing. Its a lovely way for us to continue to inspire students, said Joyce Mundy, substitute superintendent of Centennial schools.

Mundy said the district would develop programs and opportunities for students and the community to enjoy the equipment.

Its a very generous gift. Its magnificent, if you think about it, she said.

Astronomy websites sets the telescope's retail value at a minimum of $6,000. The personal observatory dome the district received retails for at least $2,500, according to the websites.

The personal observatory domes enable an astronomer to keep the telescope in a safe and secure outdoor location for extended amounts of time.

MSC Aerospace to establish operations in Iron County

Posted on by

SALT LAKE CITY MSC Aerospace and subsidiaries Metalcraft Technologies and SyberJet Aircraft announced on Thursday plans to expand their current Cedar City facilities to create more manufacturing capabilities throughout a 20-year agreement with Utah.

Over the lifetime of the agreement, the company expects to pay more than $1 billion in new state wages to create 1,200 incented jobs, meaning the company will receive tax breaks from the state.

MSC and its subsidiaries have pledged to invest millions into the project and will pay an estimated $127 million in new state tax revenue over the 20-year life of the project, according to the Governor's Office of Economic Development.

Metalcraft Technologies manufactures aircraft parts and aero-structures. The companys customers are proprietary aircraft producers that include Boeing, Bombardiers Learjet, General Electric, Gulfstream, Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, SyberJet and Vought.

SyberJet Aircraft produces the worlds fastest and longest range seven-seat light business jet the SyberJet SJ30. The SJ30 is single-pilot, FAA-certified jet with a top speed of Mach 0.83 or 560 mph, with a 2,500 nautical mile range.

Utahs aerospace and defense economic cluster represents about 4.5 percent of all state wages, and the average wage in this industry is roughly 90 percent higher than Utahs average annual wage.

MSC is excited to continue its long-standing relationships with Cedar City, Iron County and the state of Utah," said MSC Chairman David Grant. "We are proud of our track record of success in the aerospace industry and hope for a bright future in southern Utah.
