Review Editor: For approximately the past 31 n years, citizens of subdivision in Roy have attempted to get the City Council to do something about the safety of the children who have to cross 4000 South Street, going South, between 1900 West and 2275 West to go to school at North Park Elementary, Sand Ridge Junior High, and Roy Hal-Ver- High School. There are five (5) crossings that come out of this subdivision, and go south across 44000 South and empty into a vacant field that is between 4000 South and the North Park elementary School. After having talked with the State Department of Highways safety people, and discussing the above listed options, it seems that the only viable solution is to get the children to one crossing at 2175 West. To do this safely, a sidewalk on the north side of 4000 South to allow them safe access was proposed. This sidewalk then acting as a collector for the five streets to get the children to a safe crossing with a guard and a light.

I attended the Roy City Council meeting on April 17, 1984 concerning the safety of our children.

Money was not an issue, when residents were asked directly, so does this mean that they put the life of a tree over the life of a et child? What happened to the eight foot easement ruling? Many Hal Vern residents have had fences torn down or have been denied retaining walls because that was city property. Now when that property is needed for a sidewalk for our children and their Council chose to put their heads in the sand and ignore the danger. I wonder if a city' project was scheduled down 4000 S. would the residents have a choice to ac- safe-tyR- oy -, or reject it? Come on Roy City Council get your priorities straight, or is this just another case of minoricept ty rule? Remember election days do come around. Karlene Marshall Roy Review Editor: Mr. t Larsens 5th grade at Crestview Elementary in Layton j M - Review Editor: Citizens of Clearfield wake up. Your illustrious City Fathers are about to do it to you again. The majority of citizens many times opposed the city council as they violated the city master plan and ordinances. But our numbers dwindled due to disgust and finally allowed them to push through their actions because of an almost vacant chamber. One of the biggest monuments to our City Fathers and their divine wisdom is the Layton Hills Mall, which due to their bungling should have been Clearfields. Your property values have already decreased because of the impact Of the burn plant and its reduced pollution control standards. Reputable real estate appraisers have given testimony that our property values will decrease 0 percent. Home owners in Valhalla and Sundowners are experiencing reduced real estate appraisals because of the burn plant which has already created an economic obsolescence to this community. Try to obtain first or second mortgage money for homes in the near proximity (six miles radius) and you will see big money lenders are not interested, because years downstream they realize it will be difficult to retrieve invested monies. 10-2- .t; 4 5-- f t : , !

Now who in their right mind, having observed the capricious nature of the RDA, would sign on in a long-terlease anywhere within the Bountiful RDA area?

The RDA was a catalyst, something which binds two or more elements but which does not become part of the compound. On June 28, 1982, the RDA earmarked the Smedley property.

The climax to the weeks , bdwf' ac- tivities occured on Friday when most of the class members, including Mr. Larsen, dressed up as their favorite book character. Three very sharp women from Kaysville, who were former school teachers, were invited to be the judges of the book-character- s. The students were judged on their costumes and how they answered two key questions. Those questions were: - Why did you choose that particular book character? 2- - What was the most in- , teresting scene or part in that (those) books? There were six, top winners who received special ribbons, certificates, and points. All other characters were awarded an Honorable Mention. . . , It was a very reading - stimulating week resulting in many worth-whil- e experiences.
