Office patrol Deputies were dis
patched to a motorcycle accident on
west bound Interstate 84 at 3:41 on
July 14, 1998. Upon their arrival
the Deputies found the wreckage of
a blue Honda Goldwing 1500 tour
type motorcycle. They also found
the driver, a male adult and the
passenger, a female adult near the
wreckage. The accident occurred
in the west bound lanes near mile
marker 24. The driver died at the
scene after rescue crews attempted
advanced CPR and lifesaving tech
niques. The passenger was rushed to
Emmanuel Hospital in critical con
dition where she remains.
Witnesses said they saw the bike
traveling west bound at the speed of
traffic when it began wobbling out of
control and crashed. Preliminary evi
dence at the scene indicates to the
Deputies that the motorcycle had a
tire blow out and was the cause o f the
accident. The Multnomah County
Interagency Crash Investigation team
is investigating the accident.
The deceased driver has been
identified as 47 year old Frank S.
Simmons and the passenger as 63
year old Barbara F. Simmons. Both
are from Hingham, Massachusetts.
Mr. Simmons was a reserved police
officer for the Hingham Police De
partment at the time o f his death.

A r iz o n a I n f o r m a n t
Last Friday. July 10, an overflow
crowd o f well wishers, triends and
relatives showed their appreciation
and support of the Roosevelt School
District’s decision to name its 20th
and newest school after lifelong
P hoenix re sid e n t. 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

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.
