American people must know the truth about the indictment. The Bush White House will try to minimize the significance of today's indictment. The American people must know that today's indictment is about the White House cover-up of the lies that led our nation to war in Iraq. Bush must clean house. We will not be able to trust our government until every one of the White House officials who conspired to mislead the American public into war with Iraq are out of the administration - President Bush has an obligation to clean house of all the liars.

As most successful community events, Park City Television's Seventh Annual "Summer Fun Reading Challenge" was backed by generous sponsors. We had a record number of readers this year. PCTV awarded over 900 readers who completed our challenge with prizes worth more than $100,000 donated from our 19 incredible sponsors. I can only thank six of them in this letter but all were critical to the overwhelming success of this year's challenge and I hope the kids thank the sponsors as they redeem their great prizes. Some of them expire this year, so remember to redeem your prizes soon. A special thanks to Crandall Ford Mercury, Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort, Zion's Park City Bank, Cows Ice Cream and Jans Mountain Outfitters. Jonelle Simons Park City Summit County is full of terrific young people and all of us at Park City Television were proud to once again host this reading program for them. With the continued support of our sponsors, teachers, schools, libraries and parents, we know that next year's challenge will have more readers than ever. Keep reading! Tales of Old Park City Stanton D. Jones Park City Television The big indictment Editor: Vice President Cheney's Chief of Staff was charged with obstructing an investigation into the White House cover-up of the lies that led our nation to war in Iraq. Two senior White House officials outed CIA operative Valerie Plame as punishment for her husband's revelations about the administration's Iraq lies - a clear effort by the White House to cover up the lies that brought our nation to war. Karl Rove and Scooter Libby were part of the White House Iraq group. This secretive team operated out of Cheney's office and was formed to sell the case for war. According to the New York Daily News, WHIG "morphed into a virtual hit squad that took aim at critics who questioned its claims." Despite Joe Wilson's discovery in 2002, Bush lied in 2003. In 2002, Wilson was sent by the CIA to Niger to investigate if Iraq was trying to buy nuclear materials. He discovered those claims were a lie. He told the CIA, and they told the White House. Bush made the discredited claim in his 2003 State of the Union Address as he made the case for war. The nuclear threat was key to selling the war. Why did Bush repeat the discredited nuclear claim? A CBS News Editor: Recently, historic legislation passed the House and Senate that Utah citizens can and should be proud of. Congressmen Matheson, Cannon and Bishop and Senators Bennett and Hatch all voted in favor of the Assistance for Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children in Developing Countries Act of 2005. This is the first time legislation providing help for the needs of orphaned children in poor countries has made it to the floor of the House and the Senate. A sincere thank you to our Utah delegation for showing compassion to this most innocent and often-neglected segment of humankind. The administration is now required to develop a comprehensive strategy and appoint a special advisor for coordinating the gathering and distribution of critical, basic medical and educational care to the millions of future world citizens left alone by the global AIDS epidemic and other causes. Please continue the good work. Editor: I'm sure many of you have wondered what happened to the stories that were written about Park City by Justin L. Sincerely, (Jack) Fuell.
