Officer’s Aid Appreciated

I would like to commend Police Officer Stephanie Tisdale of the West Valley Police Station for organizing a large group of Neighborhood Watch block captains and other good citizens who are sick and tired of seeing the ever-increasing amount of graffiti in our once clean West Valley. She is to be commended for donating much of her personal time to this effort.

Because of the cooperation of Councilwoman Joy Picus and staff and many business people in the area who furnished paint, rollers and other supplies, a fairly large group turned out on Saturday, March 20, and drove to specifically assigned areas and removed this offensive stuff.

Not only were there many adults, but several children also joined in the effort. If everyone took such an interest, perhaps there could be more of us than the “taggers” and we could eliminate this blight once and for all.
