Show 2 SPRINGVILLE HERALD Thursday, September 1, 2005 COMMENTMY Editorial Wliat were they (Making? That is the question most people had in their minds when they learned of the extensive vandalism that took place at Spanish Fork High School last week. Many or us do things that we are sorry for. We wonder why we did it, and if only we had used our head and thought for a moment we probably would have saved ourselves our-selves a lot of grief. I'm sure those seven young men from Springville High School have been thinking those same thoughts for several sever-al days now. "Why did we do that?" Their motive was said to be an act of revenge for something some-thing that some of the Dons perpetrated on the Springville High School football field last year. It matters not what motivated the young men to retaliate, retali-ate, what matters is that they did. Retaliation never comes for anything good. As we watched the production of "Camelot" in Cedar City last weekend, my thoughts were with those young men as the plot in that musical play centered on retaliation, retalia-tion, on hurting someone else because they hurt you. ; King Arthur has every reason to "get back" at his wife, Guenevere, and her supposed lover, Lancelot. But he doesn't. does-n't. He forgives them and moves on with his life. We are all human, and moving on is sometimes very hard to do. Adults and kids do stupid things, like painting vulgar messages and images ana SHS slogans on someone some-one else's property. Y To return like for like, evil for evil, or to pay back in kind never does anyone any good nor fixes the problem. There is a great deal of wisdom in the advice to THINK before you act and speak.

Tney showed off their talents and all that hard work paid off as we awarded some $800 in cash prizes. It was a fun day for everyone every-one that was involved. But, we were especially proud of the way the young people of this community conducted themselves. They were well behaved and cooperative. Everyone had a good time. We need to thank the Springville Police Department Depart-ment for helping us patrol the boundaries and maintain crowd control. We so appreciated appre-ciated their presence there, just milling around. They did a great job. Thanks to Springville City for supporting us in this effort ef-fort and giving us the use of the Arts Park. It was a fun setting and everyone enjoyed en-joyed sitting around on the grass and bleachers and listening lis-tening to music. It was really great. Thanks to our Youthnet Youth Committee. They hung around all day long and helped with everything from picking up trash, to making announcements, to selling soda pop. Thanks to them for Professional Bull Riding and Wal-Mart to present Run With the Bulls On Tuesday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the Springville Wal-Mart will hold an interactive event that allows you to feel the excitement excite-ment of Professional Bull Riding.

Lastly, thanks to our Youth Committee Chairman Dan Shelley and his family. They worked so very hard to make this activity happen. For eight hours on Saturday, they provided a safe, supervised super-vised place for young people to do something tney enjoyed en-joyed and show their musical talents. There were no fights, drugs or alcohol that we were aware of. Moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas grand-pas also came along to see their kids perform. No, it probably wasn't their kind of music, but they tried to appreciate ap-preciate what the kids were doing with theirs. It was a far better scene than the recent "Raves" that have plagued us. It is so important im-portant to provide activities that are sate for our teens to keep them away from the other things that are constantly con-stantly there enticing them. We would encourage the community to support the next Battle of the Bands sponsored by the local PTA that will be held sometime in September. Youthnet is always looking look-ing for ways to help sponsor good activities that the kids of our area want to support. Kevin Scholz Youtnet Chairman Those who come will have the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the impressive 2000 pound animal and have their photograph photo-graph taken with it. Professional Bull Riding (PBR) will also have a dis- Elay of equipment used by ullriders at the Built Ford Tough Series Events. Come and check out this once in a lifetime event. They hope to see everyone there to have some fun and get acquainted with a real bull! PBR will be at the Tay-lorsville Tay-lorsville Wal-Mart on Wednesday, Sept. 8, the Orem Wal-Mart on Thursday, Thurs-day, Sept. 9, and American Fork Wal-Mart on Friday, Sept. 10, all from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There can be no other occupation oc-cupation like gardening in which, if you were to creep up behind someone at their work, you would find them smiling. - Mirabel Osier Springville Herald 269 E. 400 South Springville, UT 84663 An edition of The Daily Herald, Lee Enterprises Inc.

I am a 7th grade student at Springville Middle School and I enjoy Channel One. Melissa Griffin stated that her concern is the violence being shown on Channel One of school shootings, car bombings and the war in Iraq. She stated, quote, "If we were to have a news channel, it should focus on the power that teens have to influence others for good." I wonder how we can influence in-fluence our schools, communities commu-nities and country for good if we are not aware of what is going on in our world. Channel Chan-nel One provides us with valuable information so We CAN influence others for good. What causes teens to bully, car bomb and do school shootings? I believe it might have something to do with violent video games.

It is designed to inform buyers of different options in different cars. Our car intern will be reviewing cars, SUVs, trucks and everything else in between. With the quietest roar to date, feline-branded British carmaker Jaguar released its new, most expensive car ever, to the automotive press - including this Springville writer - last week in Las Ve-; gas. Headlining with a 400 horsepower supercharged engine, the long wheelbase Super V8 Portfolio is the newest addition to the XJ family. With so much power, most drivers would expect a loud rumble coming from the bold, chrome-painted exhaust ex-haust pipes, but as you ride along in Jaguar's priciest model yet, the Portfolio exudes ex-udes quietness. "The Portfolio enables its driver to steer the car as they wish, if they need the power, it's there," said David Mitchell, chief program engineer engi-neer for the XJ family. At $116,000, its passengers are sure to enjoy the ride, even if 1-15 constrains those 400 horsepower to a mere 25 mph on the commute home.

J-M lent video games I am more concerned about. I read an article that said that boys play video games for about nine plus hours a week and girls, six to eight hours a week. It is my opinion opin-ion that we should be more concerned about the violence that youth are exposed to in the video games. How many children want to go home and watch the news? I don't. Channel One gave me a perspective of what the government of Africa, and other countries do horribly to their own people. peo-ple. My parents were surprised sur-prised how much I knew from watching Channel One. I think this idea of getting rid of Channel One is ridiculous. ridicu-lous. The commercials about acne cream and avoiding drugs, abuse and resistance program is directed at our generation and not for our senior citizens. Matthew D. Jones Mapleton The back seat features individual indi-vidual climate control, electric elec-tric back seat control and independent in-dependent DVD screens. All 2006 XJs are also equipped with an advanced tire pressure monitoring system sys-tem to improve the vehicle's performance. Unlike some other systems, which use a car's anti-lock brake sensors to detect drops in tire pressure, pres-sure, Jaguar's system uses radio frequency transmitters. transmit-ters. If the pressure in any of the five tires drops by 25 per cent of the recommended threshold, a warning light on the instrument cluster flashes. flash-es. Let's face it, there are only a "happy few" that can afford af-ford to take this cat home, but you are certain to get more - more extra thick lambs wool floor mats, more interior wood trim, more tray tables, more DVD screens, more access to audio au-dio components, more leg room, more climate control zones, more sun shades; and yes, for you motorheads, more horsepower and more braking power. But can the cat jump this high? Jaguar recently launched a new marketing strategy, hoping to attract the "Apprentice" generation. "We want young, professional profes-sional buyers to become much more aware of the Jaguar brand," said C.J. O'-Donnell, O'-Donnell, executive vice president presi-dent of Marketing and Sales for Jaguar North America. "To speak to this often diffi-cult-to-reach group, we believe be-lieve word of mouth can often of-ten create a stronger, far more positive buzz than more traditional marketing.". And a positive buzz they will get once onlookers behold be-hold the priciest model yet, cruising down the street. Mapleton Police report Mapleton Police had 47 calls last week with 12 for animals. Lee Hitchcock, 1615 S. 1600 West, Mapleton, was arrested for an outstanding warrant. Sarah Larie Miller, 1215 E. 400 North, Mapleton, was arrested for a warrant. There was one traffic accident acci-dent during the week. i f |
