UPDATE**

According to the Channel 7 website, 9,600 marijuana plants were confiscated on Tuesday from two different fields. One of the fields was in Gem County, the other in Valley County. Estimated street value about 19 million.

LAW ENFORCEMENT MOVES IN

Law Enforcement moved in early Tuesday morning, setting up their command post at Sutton's corner. The helicopter arrived about 8:00AM and the search was on. After flying around our valley, a marijuana field was discovered about 4.5 miles east of Ola. Throughout the day, the helicopter was bringing bundle after bundle to the corner. The marijuana was then loaded into a large dump truck to be disposed of at another location. The bundles contained plants that were at least 6-8 feet tall.

UPDATE: All was wrapped up at 7:15PM. Thousands of plants were recovered and will be destroyed.

COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETING LAST NIGHT

The County Commissioners were at the Hall last night to meet with the Ola residents. Attendance by the community wasn't great, but for those of us that were there it was well worth our while. The Commissioners brought with them a person from Health and Welfare and an Environmental Health Specialist. Both spoke about the minerals and toxins that can be found in our wells, toxicity levels and the areas of which they are most concerned. They provided information, along with sample bottles so that we can get our water tested. Jim, the well driller, was present. It was interesting to hear him discuss the different levels of soil, rock, minerals etc. encountered when digging a well. As far as anything new....Alvin Davis is now working in Emmett and was replaced by Roger Walker, and there was some discussion about doing something with High Valley Road (so much dust) but due to cost, that's not likely. We appreciate our Commissioners, and thank them for coming up to Ola.

I understand that some of you are relying on your e-mail for the updates on the Newsletter. This is great, however, there seems to be about a 24 hour delay from the time I post new information and you get it in your e-mail. This is not a problem for most information, but sometimes 24 hours could be too late. Therefore, you might benefit from making the Newsletter your home page or bookmark it so you can easily pull it up everyday.

Have a Great Day!!
