Editor: The Eyes 4 Zimbabwe Charity Dinner was a huge success due to the generosity gener-osity of so many people. There were salads, rolls, desserts and physical labor donated by individuals in the City of Spanish Fork and surrounding communities. commu-nities. Businesses were very Obama is Editor: Senator Obama was selected se-lected to be the presumptive presump-tive nominee. He, however, has gone a step further by pretending to be president. He, at one point, changed the presidential seal to look like his logo. The chair on his plane now has president presi-dent on it and he had his logo put on the plane. He took a tour of the world to show his importance, impor-tance, even if it were not for the military men in the hospital. However, his recent remarks about the Russia and Georgia war has shown that he is not ready for the 3 a.m. wake-up wake-up call. It is now time for the playacting to stop. Senator Obama needs to step back, along with the DNC, and let the process proceed. Since when has a presumptive pre-sumptive nominee had so much control over a convention con-vention that has become more about him, what he wants, and his need for fans? Since when has the DNC moved their headquarters head-quarters to a presumptive nominee's home city? Senator Obama speaks 1 of change but all we see is someone power hungry and very controlling of everyone ev-eryone around him.

History states that Senator Clinton should be allowed to be on a ballot. Since when does another candidate candi-date have to negotiate her role with, or even without, the status she has? Rick Martinez,, correspondent, corre-spondent, in an article for "News & Observer" titled "Clinton Earned a Roll Call," states some facts that most ignore. Quote: "CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN CAM-PAIGN WAS NO LESS GROUNDBREAKING THAN OBAMA'S, and she was competitive to the very end. During the six-month six-month primary season, more than 35 million people came out to cast ballots for ..Obama and Clinton, with the VQVno3 senator coming out on top by a mere 41,622 votes That's a 0.1 percent margin of victory."

Miller presented a 3-D model of the proposed development, de-velopment, described as high quality condominiums. At previous meetings,' the project was described as consisting of 15 units but Miller proposed a zone change only at this time without committing to a specific number of housing units, stating that could be negotiated at a later time. Neighbors objected to the proposal on the grounds of safety, citing increased traffic and the incompatibility incompat-ibility of high density housing hous-ing with the surrounding single family homes.

S t MM I --Z-l fe--rt" . . It is school while driving School busses started rolling Wednesday and young people could be seen everywhere walking and riding their bicycles and skateboards to school. Each year at this time motorists need to be reminded to slow down, not only in school zones, but everywhere. School zones have been clearly marked, but we need to be cautious beyond those marked zones. Children aren't used to going to school. They are excited and they might dart out into streets unexpectedly, or from between parked cars. When they are young, they are short and difficult to see. Slow down and stay alert. Youngsters riding their bikes in the road are also a problem because they might not realize the rules of the road and forget that vehicles are also using the road. Slow down and give them plenty of room. Pay attention to the school crossing guards. They are there at busy crossings to protect both children and drivers. driv-ers. Be prepared to stop when you see flashing red lights or the "stop" sign extended on a school bus. That means the bus doors are open. It is the law to stop until the red lights stop flashing even if you are going in the opposite direction Most school bus fatalities occur when students are boarding or exiting the bus. The law is intended to keep children safe. It is a motorist's motor-ist's duty to obey it. Flashing yellow lights on a school bus mean that the bus is preparing to stop or to reenter traffic. Give them the right-of-way. When young people get away from the marked school zones, it is doubly Important that drivers be careful and watch whenever children are walking along the sidewalk or roadway. Kids may not pay attention to you, but you need to pay attention to them. We have better safety rules now than ever before, but we also have more drivers on the road. Parents, please review safety rules with your young people. If they ride the bus, remind them to line up away from the road and wait until the doors open before stepping step-ping into the roadway.
