Wasatch bolts past St. Joes 462-324- 4-- H by Gene Nielson MAYFIEL- D- A drug bust took pla;e here on April 29 after several months of investigation involving two males and two females according to Sheriff Stan Anderson. Anderson remarked that the Neighborhood Watch in Mayfield provided information that alerted the sheriffs department of the suspected drug house. Citizens maintained log books of important information, such as license plate numbers, times, dates and locations indicating these suspects may be running an illegal business. Acquiring a search warrant, the sheriffs department allegedly gathered methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia evidence that suggests they could have been involved in the drug business. According to Anderson all the recorded Neighborhood Watch information will be helpful in prosecuting this case. When asked about seizing the Mayfield property involved in the drug bust, providing the suspects were found guilty, Anderson felt it should be confiscated and that seizure might help eliminate concerns and fears of Mayfield residents in regards to, the alleged drug dealers returning to their community.

Fly the United States Flag from Memorial Day until Veterans Day," American Legion National Commander Anthony G. Jordan said. "Our Senators in Washington will heed the will of the people. When you consider that 49 state legislatures have petitioned Congress to send them a amendment for ratification, and that numerous polls show 80 percent of the American people support it, theres no reason for the Senate to block the right of the people to protect their flag." "There are many learned opinions on both sides of the issue, but only one fact: People want their flag protected. If people can differentiate between speech and conduct, then, surely, the U.S. Senate can," Jordan continued. CFA was formed in 1994 by patriotic Americans who believe the right to protect the flag must be restored to the American people. CFA membership includes American Legion family.
