Show 2 Thursday, August Lakeside 13, 1998 Lakeside Review Teenager meets with president Graduates scholarly abilities win her meeting with Clinton - By TANNA BARRY Standard-Examine- r Uf- correspondent every teenage girl say that they met president of the States, but Lindsay Leininger, a recent graduate of Bonneville High School, can. During National Recognition Week, she and other national scholars were able to not only meet President Clinton, but to spend a week in Washington D.C. Leininger was one of two students selected from Utah as a United States Presidential Scholar. I was so thrilled, said Leininger. In 1964, President Johnson started the White House Commission on Presidential Scholars. Each year up to 141 scholars are chosen to receive this honor one boy and one girl from each state, the district of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Americans living abroad, and 15 students are chosen randomly from across nation. Students are chosen based on their ACT or SAT scores, grades and their commitment to public service. Before receiving the application in the mail, Leininger said she didnt know much abut the program. When she first got the application, we joked about actually going (to Washington, D.C.) for a few months, and then suddenly it was real, said Nancy Isaacs, Leiningers 10th and 12th grade English teacher. Each winner was able to bring their parents and the teacher who had most influenced or inspired them. Isaacs was Leiningers . choice. , I had the chance to express my gratitude to her, said Leininger. The scholars honored their teachers in a special ceremony in which they gave them plaques and said why their favorite teacher was so inspiring. Im sure Lindsay felt all of her teachers were her favorite, but it was such an honor to be in that kind of company, said Phacs. I Isaacs said that Leininger is an frier edible person with a love of taming and a really sweet personality. She describes Leininger as happy, warm, giving and incredibly bright Leininger said all the students Jnd teachers there were of an exceptionally high caliber. She was excited to travel to Washington, p.C., where the scholars were gathered together for a special tnp that lasted from June 13 to Tv , ,1 r. - P'J .

She also was able to experience many things she never thought were possible and things that she never had thought about before. Among those things was meeting President Clinton. In a special Medallion Ceremony held on the south lawn at the White House, all scholars received a special bronze medal with 24 karat gold on it A line of Marines handed them the award, and then each scholar walked onto the stage where they shook hands and spoke with the president He was friendly, said Leininger about meeting the president Leininger also said she admires anyone who would give up their life to serve the country. She thinks it is good that there are people who dedicate their whole life to America and all it represents. But Leininger also enjoyed many other experiences during the National Recognition Week, especially when she was able to interact with the other scholars. Leininger recalls that all of the scholars on the trip became good friends, and they stayed up late every night talking and laughing. We couldnt go to bed because we had so much fun together, said Leininger. 5 cause the commission made erything a big deal for them.

Our goal was to improve the facilities at the Davis County FairPark, said Marcinda Lyons, Teen Council president We wanted to build something that would benefit the Rezone From 1 trail improvements, trail access and open space dedication. Approval for the rezone is only for 12 months. If questions arent answered and development begun, the ordinance reads that the property will "automatically and without further notice or hearings thereon, revert to its prior zoning classification and zone." Questions concerning the fault line were also unresolved. A lot of the property to the south has fault problems," said David Petersen, city planncrzoning administrator. I don't have information to see how serious the fault is. A more site specific study should reveal more. The area also has compaction problems.
