Lt. Tracy of the Hutchinson Police Department was the guest of Lori Hopp.

Lt. Tracy presented the program this morning on Crime Stoppers of Reno County.

TUIT REPORT

Brenda Janda paid her $ to get rid of the TUIT, then reported that Dan Powers

asked, but Lori Hopp and Doc Powers did not ask at lunch. Manuel Bruchs wife did

not ask and she saw Brenda every day so he paid a $. David Ross or someone who sort of

resembled him didnt ask at Allies so he paid. Cal Singh never asked all week at work so he paid.

With that, Brenda awarded the TUIT to our newest member, Manuel Bruch so that he can get

acquainted with it first hand.

PROGRAM:

Lt. Tracy of the Hutchinson Police Department gave a very interesting and informative talk about Crime Stoppers of Reno County. Since its beginning in Reno County 12 years ago, CrimeStoppers has helped solve 819 crimes in Reno County including 1 homicide, 8 rapes, 16 robberies, and 271 burglaries. Of 448 defendants charged, 2 have been acquitted, 420 convicted and the other 26 are awaiting trial.

CrimeStoppers will pay a reward for every crime solved, although many people never claim their reward. People reporting information are always anonymous only assigned a code number which they use to collect their rewards.

GUESTS

Manuel Bruch joined our club this week. Welcome Manuel.

Dennis Carlton was the guest of John Knipp.

TUIT REPORT

Vicki Fultz was happy to get rid of the TUIT after 3 long weeks of companionship. You would have thought that in that

amount of time, she would have actually earned a lot more cash for the club but no such luck. Brad Thompson

paid for not asking about the TUIT, Jim Kicklighter paid for asking (now is that supposed to work that way?)

Keith Schroeder called and asked and didnt pay but Jeff Brewer, Jay Pitzer and Tom Hymer all neglected to ask

or once passed someone in the store who didnt ask or something and wound up coughing up a buck. Brenda Janda was

awarded the TUIT for this week so if you see Brenda make sure you ask about the TUIT

PROGRAM:

Jane Holtzinger of Horizons Mental Health Center gave a terrific program on Finding Words of Kansas. Finding Words is a program that defines one protocol for questioning / forensic interviews of children who are victims of sexual abuse. The aim of the program is to find out what happened, when it happened and to make sure the statements are reliable so that the results of the interview survive in court. Kansas is the 13th state in the nation to implement this program. Finding Words is jointly supported by the communities of Law Enforcement, Mental Health and SRS. Tom Stanton gave an impromptu testimonial about the importance of this program in prosecuting people who have hurt children and the impact this type of program has on nullifying the most common defense tactics used in these cases.

FINES

After a few weeks off, the sergeant was back in full form this week, making up for lost time. JoAnn Williams, Rick Mitchell and John Knipp were all fined for being late. Brenda Janda and Keith Schroeder then paid a dollar for a cup of coffee – apparently they didnt understand that it was free on the back table Kent Harris was supposed to be fined, but then the sergeant got distracted by the sight of Jeff Brewer and remembered a notebook Jeff Frizzell left on the roof of his car and was so busy collecting from Jeff that he forgot to collect from Kent. Doug Foss got fined for winning at golf (with a team of professionals), Jeff Frizell was fined for being closest to the pin and a library fine for not returning some sort of book to the sergeant. All the ladies were fined for NOT PLAYING in the social golf outing. Paul Brown, Randall Holtom and Dennis Rieser were all fined for being on the pokey puppy team finishing way after everyone else. Apparently after spending all the money on new clubs, Paul cant afford to lose any golf balls and spent some time looking in the tall stuff Jeff Brewer was fined for spending 20 years at Luminous Neon and paid another $ to keep everyone from singing for hes a jolly good fellow. Doug Foss marked his 10th anniversary with Jill Foss by paying a dollar per year now thats a bargain! Duke Wiggins paid a buck for wearing drunken bum attire to play golf at the Highlands. Doug paid yet another $ for making a joke at someones expense (whos got lost in the laughter). Vicki paid for her opening remarks of Stand up when you address me plus another $ for insulting the chef. Brad Thompson was fined for developing a European work ethic at Brigman Oil where apparently they keep hours that would make the bankers jealous. Jack Mace paid a $ to brag about the Kansas Mennonite Mens Choir tour of the West Coast apparently this fine group had a great time seing the western portion of our country and the western portion of the country had a great time seeing them. Finally, Lori Hopp paid a $ to ask for prayers for her family riding out the hurricane in Florida.

Anyway, JoAnn introduced Brenda Massey, Executive Director of TECH and Larry Cupps, Director of Day Services and Support.

TECH serves about 250 adults and 1,000 children in our community. TECH celebrated their 30th anniversary last year.

Stacy Galleon gave our group a tour of the computer lab and demonstrated the assistive technology in use daily. Stacy explained the computer programs used with the clients of TECH and described the benefits of the programs both as a learning tool and as a means of communication. If you missed this program and tour, make sure you take the opportunity to visit next time it is available what TECH does for those less fortunate in our community is amazing and worth seeing.
