Guest columnist this week is Gayle Smith. Ms. Smith moved to Utah in 197A from Phoenix, Arix. Her father was in the military, so she moved to a number of areas during her childhood. She has been in medical related fields for IS years. During this time she has been on the paramedic program, a reserve deputy, and has been an emergency medical technician in Davis County. She was director of public relations at Davis North Hospital. Ms. Smith has been a full time Davis County sheriff's deputy since September. Her current title is public information and crime prevention specialist. She is a recent graduate of the police academy where she also teaches first aid training and works part-tim- e on the ambulance.

According to the National Institute of Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, there is a burglary committed in the United States every ten seconds. The safety, security and kinship that once existed in Americas neighborhoods has rapidly deteriorated over the past 15 years. Due to the current rapid pace of living by most United States citizehs, the helping hand attitude of neighbors is not as commonplace as in years high potential changes are causing a rapid de cline in the once crime-fre- e suburban and rural areas. Neighborhood Watch is a program where YOU, the citizens of Davis County, can effectively take steps to protect yourselves and your neighbors against crimes. The actions you take to make your neighborhoods safe from burglars also help to reduce the possibility of street assaults, rape and vandalism.

In the Seattle experience, more than 40 percent of the residents contacted were eager to participate. After several months in operation, the local law enforcement agency' was able to verify a substantial drop in home burglaries. Neighborhood Watch is relatively simple to implement - but does take enthusiasm, commitment and a guiding hand from your local law enforcement agency. The main areas of concern are Block Watch organizations, home security inspections and property marking. Neighbors helping neighbors along with police cooperation are the keys not vigilantism. Proper organization and management of this program can help to reduce crime in your community. Lets keep the helping hands in Davis County!

Commissioner Saunders came down to West Farmington and was directly responsible for getting the heavy dump trucks dfif 650 West and thus saving additional damage to said road and further tax dollars for road repair. The problem with the road still has not been permanently taken care of. It is for this reason that I am writing this letter, Commissioner Tippetts. If you are not next fall, maybe we will get a commissioner who will do the job for which he was elected; another man who listens to people, as Commissioner Saunders does, and takes the action that is needed and will answer and respond to the public.
