Have you seen this sign? This particular logo should indicate that the business it’s attached to
participates in the National Safe Place Network, it’s not just a safe place. Are these places licensed
“Safe Places,” or are they just a place for someone who needs help? it’s an important distinction for
individuals needing assistance.
Celebrate
AMERICA!Crowds of people gathered Friday at Wolf Field in Davis to enjoy

dors.The festival started at 5 p.m. with bounce houses and vendors,
followed by a band performance. The night ended with a bang as
the Davis Fire Department put on a dazzling 4th of July fireworks
display for spectators to celebrate. KATI WALKER/THE ARDMOREITE
