V the kids won't lose West At least Mark Wahlquist, Jordan school board member told a press conference Tuesday that neither the teachers nor the school board won in the settlement over the long disagreement between the board andtheJEA. But his final thought on the matter was by far the most important: "At least the kids won't be the losers." Even though at some points Our public school system has once again come under some criticism. Constructive criticism is always useful. But just maybe we don't ap- conflict it during the summer-lon- g seemed to be a power struggle between the JEA and the school district each of the groups always had in mind their responsibility to provide an education to the children of the district. And even though school has been in session for nearly a month now, both sides can settle down to providing the education for the youth that they are charged to preciate our public schools enough. Not long ago my husband and I took a freighter trip to South America, where we stopped at large cities and smaller cities in many ports, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Fortaleza at the top of Brazil. We looked for nice big public schools, and saw none. Could this be why South America is considered a backward nation? The provide.

A picture frame shop, a Spanish bakery, and an oriental import shop have either moved in or are in the process of doing so. A comment by Ray Ertman, chairman of the downtown historic board, seems to reflect the new spirit of Midvale downtown. "If we can't find you a place, we'll build one."

This morning on my way out of the subdivision I again was faced with the challenge of completing the "obstacle course," if you will, without incurring the tragedy of bitting a child with my car.

His emphasis has been hospital administration. He has been involved in the budgeting process at Cottonwood Hospital and has completed consulting survey am continually required to fit a decreasing value pay check into an in- bill paying demand. As a city councrease cilman I will take a hard look at costs for city services. I want our community to have quality service but not at the level of being taxed out of our homes. "I think the city budget should reflect the actual needs of the city," he continued, "not who some of our local bureaucrats dream up. I will support opening the present budget for a new evaluation. The budget should show where every dollar the city has is going and should not carry surplus money."

The sounds one hears while walking along North Main Street in Midvale these days are not those of a dying business district. In place of a crashing wrecking ball, there are the sounds of workers patching old roofs, sanding old floors, spraying new paint over old bricks, and a bulldozer nearby working not at tearing down, but building new.

He is the past president of the Square and Round House Dance Association and is also active in church affairs. Cowley said that a candidate is needed "who will have the best interests of the local residents, homeowners and businessmen of Midn vale in mind." should "work to see that economics are in force to help the people maintain a city government Ihey can afford." Cowley pledges that as Tri-Vall- Coun-cilme- problems arise, "Solutions will be sought they are playing in the street, at the bus stops, walking four or five abreast down the street, or swerving back and forth down the street on bikes. They are totally uninhibited by an approaching car and do not move over to allow one to pass or in the case of those waiting for the bus, return to the sidewalk. I am aware that of primary concern to many parents in the Jordan School District is the hazardous circumstances under which some of our children walk to school. Certainly, those of us fortunate to have the buses to transport our children or sidewalks for their use should make sure the children are doing their part to avoid a tragedy. It is a rare morning when I leave West Jordan that I do not see one or more of our police officers doing their part to make sure the motorists are abiding by the laws designed to protect our children. My blood runs cold when I realize that even though I abide by those laws (and am usually going closer to 5 mph, rather than the 20 mph allowed) that may still may not be I might have to good enough face myself in the mirror with the horrible memory of bitting a child. are behaving wisely in this situation. Might I suggest to parents that in the next day or two, after you have sent your children off, you get in your car and drive the route your children use going to school.' A first hand awareness of the problem will hopefully make it so that you will make it your business to KNOW your children are using the sidewalks where available, waiting properly at the bus stops, and riding their bikes in a safe and reasonable fashion. Hopefully it will not take a tragedy in order for this issue to become important enough to act on. s Anita Hall West Jordan Jordan Valley Sentinel ; . lift. ttUMoM held, following meeting, at the the home of his parents, Mr and Mrs James B.

The answer is indicated by one of the signs. The man is a truck driver who has violated the law by bringing his loaded tractor trailer on 2700 West and parking it there. Mr Monson has, at the request of the neighborhood, requested the police to enforce the law.

Editor: I have noted the "blossoming" of fields of signs for West Jordan's upcoming election. However, there has appeared a "weed" or. two. I refer in part to several signs that have appeared on 2700 West. These signs indicate that we'll "be sorry" if we vote for Sherm Monson for City Council.
