C lo v e s C. Cam pbell, Sr. by attending the groundbreaking ceremony at the site o f the future school. With the temperature well above the 100 degree mark it became evi dent that the warmth and affection o f the crowd was as equal ly to blame (for the heat) as was the sun itself. Many came by just to say hello and shake the hand o f the man who has given the majority o f his life to the south Phoenix community. “This turnout,” stated one man as he tried to squeeze into the crowded shaded area o f the tent, “shows that the Roosevelt School District made a good decision in choosing one of its own (Campbell is a product of the district) to name a school after. Roosevelt District Superinten dent, Dr. John Baracy, in his re marks stated that the naming o f a school is the highest honor that the District can bestow on an individual. He noted that schools have been named after Presidents o f the United States and Senators. The ceremony was emceed by Roosevelt School District Board Member Linda Armstead, who was a key player in getting the board to name the school after Campbell, Fel low board members Norma Munoz ( President ) and Carlos Avelar, along with Superintendent Baracy ad dressed the crowd. In paying hom age to Campbell, Dr. Baracy stated that “C” in ClovesC. Campbell could easily stand for Character, Courage or Commitment, all characteristics o f the man. City Councilman Cody Williams, addressing the group, painted a ver bal picture o f Campbell as a loving father and family man from which he has learned so much. He thanked Campbell for his contributions to the community and to himself in particu lar. Governor Jane Dee Hull read a resolution honoring Campbell as did Rep. David Armstead. Campbell took the podi um and after showing appre ciation forthe honors that were being bestowed on him, began speaking about education He talked about how he and his four brothers and sisters were orphaned at an early age. He remembered that his mother, before passing away, always taught her chi I- dren that getting a good education was the key. He was proud to tell the audience that all o f his brothers and sisters heeded their mother's words, and are college graduates. The audience was a regular W ho’s Who in the political circles Heading the list in attendance was the Governor Jane Dee Hull, withi S tate R e p re se n ta tiv e s D avid Armstead and Art Hamilton, hope fuls M aurice W ard and Leah Landurm, Judge Pam Gutierrez, ConstableClarice Davis, City Coun cilman Cody Williams, NAACP President Oscar Tillman.

J Clark County holds Photo Safety Radar news briefing On August 3, 1998, the Sheriff's Office will begin op erating its new Photo Safety Radar equipment on the streets and roads of unincorporated Clark County. Operated out of a van by a trained Sheriff's deputy, the radar instantly captures evidence of traffic violations on film as they oc cur. Speeders traveling higher than the established speed threshold are detected by a low -pow ered m icrow ave beam transmitted across the road. This triggers the cam era to take an image that clearly shows the d riv er's face, vehicle model, and li cense plate. u O r e g o n C o n v e n t io n C e n t e r At The C enter Of Success AUGUST EVENTS Expected Attendance Event Est.
