TUIT
Twit Report:
Dennis Reiser tried to hang all his church buddies last Sunday and caught Dwight Wiehl, and Brad Thompson. He spotted Paul Brown on his way to a neighbors house (apparently Maggie bought a bedroom suite and Paul got the job of moving it), and Paul did not ask about the tuit as Dennis drove by. Al Strecker sent everyone an e-mail, but forgot to personalize Denniss by addressing the TUIT.
He also collected fines from Jack Mace, Terry Brigman, Randall Haltom, Curtis Mitchell, and Jo Ann Williams.
He then paid his dollar and passed his friend off to SCOTT POTUCEK.
Beware the artists son this week.
FINES
Sheriffs Corner:
Jim Kicklighter and Chuck Peterson donned their badges and laid down the law for today.
Jim fined himself for being late, and then realized that it was really a STUPID tax. Mark Clark was so proud of his picture taken while shaking hands with President Bush that he was handing out copies (color if you were will to pay extra). Curtis Mitchell was also in the picture, but was much more humble still cost him a dollar.
Apparently the Edward Jones boys have excess funds in their advertising budgets. Last week Dan Power was fined for having 4 radio spots run in about 5 minutes time. This week, Darren Wicks got caught for promoting IRAs before tax income tax filing deadline. Lets see—the tax filing deadline was April 17th and this is the second week of May.
Doug (we dont need no stinkin basement) Foss ran for cover from the tornado and ended up at Jay Pitzers house. It only cost him a dollar to repurchase the jacket he left behind in his excitement over surviving the big scare.
Darren Wicks, Jim Seitnater, and Jo Ann Williams all paid a dollar to thank all their fellow members who volunteered for the Downtown Hopps fundraiser for TECH last Friday evening. It was a huge success, raising over $10,000.
Doyle Ehling announced that he and his family would be attending Kansas States graduation in support of their daughter-in-law, Tara Jean, who has completed her degree in Veterinary Medicine. Monte McConnaughy has established a website to aid lost dogs in finding their home. If you lose or find a dog, go to lostdoghutch.com and follow the instructions. Great idea, Monte, and good P.R. for your new business. Jay Pitzer paid a dollar to promote ticket sales for the Hutchinson Community Concert Series going on right now. Tickets can be purchased at the First National Bank lobby.
PROGRAM
Guy Gann introduced Gary Bornholdt of Bornholdt Plantland, located at 1508 W. 4th. Guy must have asked Gary a bunch of questions about the care and feeding of his lawn, because Gary came primed and ready to impart his knowledge on how to approach caring for your lawn in light of this years exceedingly wet spring.
We are now 10 ahead of normal for the year, which probably means we wont see another drop until fall. Seriously, we were encouraged to turn our watering systems off for now. Gary suggested turning them back on when your lawn starts to take on a slight blue cast or the temperature reaches beyond 90 degrees. Then, water deeply rather then frequently. He suggests using a slow-release fertilizer this year.
Also, this is expected to be a bad year for grubs, so watch for brown spots that grow rapidly around the July 4th timeframe.
This editor tried keeping up with Garys flow of knowledge, but failed miserably. It is safe to say that he is well-versed on anything that is green and grows, so if you have questions about anything from lawns to replacing trees lost to Westars power line purge, see Gary and his crew, and they will fix you right up.
Thanks to Gary and Guy for a great program.
