Speaker 3: Yeah, Tomorrow from seven am to eleven am at Bartlesville
Speaker 3: Masonic Lodge up at six ' ten North Washington Boulevard,
Speaker 3: they are hosting a benefit breakfast for the Washington County
Speaker 3: Shear Reserves programs that provide funding for the Thanksgiving meals
Speaker 3: for the needy and the Christmas toys and needs for
Speaker 3: the needy children, like we do every year.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and you.
Speaker 3: Know last year I think we service like one hundred
Speaker 3: and forty five children at Christmas and around thirty thirty
Speaker 3: five needy families at Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: We hope to do as much as more or more
Speaker 2: this year.
Speaker 3: So wow, And we're naturally always accepting donations for that project.
Speaker 1: What's on the menu tomorrow, Well, on.
Speaker 2: The menu at the Masons. It's everything under the sun
Speaker 2: for breakfast.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been there, I've done that.

Speaker 3: you'll walk aways and gravy, bacon, sausage, orange juice, milk, coffee.
Speaker 3: So and it's an all you neiatue breakfast. My favorite

Speaker 3: the age of sixty eat free.
Speaker 1: All right. What's the time on that again?
Speaker 3: Seven am to eleven am tomorrow, Saturday, November the second.
Speaker 1: All right, very very good.
Speaker 2: You can also get.
Speaker 3: Advanced tickets at the Sheriff's office or from any dipity
Speaker 3: And we don't even bring the tickets to you.
Speaker 1: So we get them there, but we get them also
Speaker 1: from a favorite person with the batter wll. That is
Speaker 1: wonderful and it goes to the great things that we
Speaker 1: do for the holidays for those who are less fortunate
Speaker 1: and have some challenges too. Now we've got a lot
Speaker 1: going on with holidays coming up here too, and it's
Speaker 1: always good to be on the safe side and not
Speaker 1: allow the criminal element to even get near yet.
Speaker 2: That's that's right.
Speaker 1: How do we prevent a lot of this stuff?
Speaker 3: Well, there's a lot of things that you can do
Speaker 3: as a homeowner, as a citizen. First to first and foremost,
Speaker 3: if you see something, say something, call us.
Speaker 2: You don't have to stick around or you don't have
Speaker 2: to be contacted.
Speaker 3: But if you give us a vehicle description, suspect descriptions,
Speaker 3: something doesn't look right. Our deputies want to get out
Speaker 3: there and find out what's going on, because you and
Speaker 3: all only you know who belongs in your neighborhood and
Speaker 3: who doesn't. Other things to remember is if you're going
Speaker 3: out of town, make your house appear to be lived in.
Speaker 3: Things like have your have your if you if you
Speaker 3: get a paper, that doesn't happen a whole lot anymore.
Speaker 3: If you get a paper, have that stopped. Have your
Speaker 3: mail held at the post office for you, or have
Speaker 3: a designated pickup person for it. Let your neighbors know
Speaker 3: see everybody king, neighborhood watch, and.
Speaker 2: Things of that nature. Uh high dollar items.
Speaker 3: Keep your paperwork on those serial numbers, model numbers, things
Speaker 3: like that. Ag equipment farm equipment vehicles because if we
Speaker 3: have those identifying numbers, if you do become a victim,
Speaker 3: it makes it a lot easier for us to locate
Speaker 3: it and possibly get it recovered and back to the
Speaker 3: rightful owner.
Speaker 1: Very good. Yeah, the jail has been kind of a
Speaker 1: different place these days. Good things been happening. When you
Speaker 1: think of jail, you don't think of you know, you
Speaker 1: just stake jail, you think incarceration. Now, some positive things
Speaker 1: have been going on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd like to rag on my jail staff. I
Speaker 2: have jail staff.
Speaker 3: My jail administration's very proactive and welcoming new programs into
Speaker 3: the jail. We've always had jail ministries and we look
Speaker 3: to keep increasing those. So we have women's ministry and
Speaker 3: we have some ministry for the men in there. One
Speaker 3: of the things I had not ever seen in my
Speaker 3: career was a month or so ago, it.
Speaker 2: Was nice and warm.
Speaker 3: One of the local churches brought up a big livestock tank,
Speaker 3: filled it up with water, and they baptized about fifteen
Speaker 3: of the women inmates through the women's jail ministry. So
Speaker 3: I thought I was very impressed with that, and I
Speaker 3: want to thank the ladies with the jail ministry and
Speaker 3: the men as well for coming in because that eases
Speaker 3: the minds of our residents to have to stay there,
Speaker 3: and I think it goes a long way of showing
Speaker 3: that we're trying to be on the right track.
Speaker 1: Indeed, I was just telling you before we had to
Speaker 1: get started. I've lived in a lot of communities and
Speaker 1: the ministries kind of exist the kind of shoe string
Speaker 1: in those communities. These are like, hey, how you do it,
Speaker 1: Let's get together and there's no wall between it, and
Speaker 1: you know, we can come together. Thing.
Speaker 3: We have a very good program at the jail and
Speaker 3: that's that's thanks mostly in part of the jail administration,
Speaker 3: because they want what's best for the clients that we
Speaker 3: house there. The other things going on there. One thing
Speaker 3: is that a lot of people who may not be
Speaker 3: aware of if we have a ongoing.
Speaker 2: Education program which will allow them to have.
Speaker 3: A GED when they leave our facility, if they're there
Speaker 3: long enough, nice and it.
Speaker 2: Makes it easier for them to get a job. Things
Speaker 2: of that nature.
Speaker 3: The work program in the in the kitchen, food handlers,
Speaker 3: per's and such. So our recentivision rate is down and
Speaker 3: I think it's probably one of the lowest for county
Speaker 3: jail anywhere around.
Speaker 1: That's a great thing. You give somebody the tools with
Speaker 1: which to work. And next thing, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: the wave atcher from the outside instead of you coming
Speaker 1: in and being a guest. And that's really what it's
Speaker 1: all about. Everybody's going to make a mistake.
Speaker 3: Ye, And it's because a man makes a mistake doesn't
Speaker 3: mean the may live at mistake his whole life.
Speaker 1: That's true. Giving them the tools to get out there
Speaker 1: and get right, you know, that's something else.
Speaker 3: So that's one of the things. We did have a
Speaker 3: really good car show in October.
Speaker 1: Tell us about that. That was fun.
Speaker 3: About I think we had like one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: four cars show up nice and I'm just glad I
Speaker 3: didn't have to judge all the top twenty because I
Speaker 3: couldn't have done it. It was hard enough for me to
Speaker 3: pick a sheriff pick. But it went really well and
Speaker 3: everybody had a great time. We're looking forward to next.
Speaker 1: Year already, oh my gosh.
Speaker 3: And so the next thing is happening besides the breakfast,
Speaker 3: is we're going to go put the Thanksgiving meals together
Speaker 3: and the baskets are reserves and our deputies will pass
Speaker 3: those out and along with that, we'll.
Speaker 2: Shop for the kids. We'll have lists for the kids.
Speaker 3: The kids, active parents and themselves actually tell us what
Speaker 3: they need and you'd be surprised what some of them
Speaker 3: ask for. It's truly need and not so much want
Speaker 3: a lot of times. So that's the way that works out.
Speaker 1: So now how does this how do you facilitate this?
Speaker 1: I mean when we do the food here, I know
Speaker 1: that sometimes folks can can help out by dropping off.
Speaker 3: We have we have application forms that can pick up
Speaker 3: at the office, and there are some pre qualifiers and
Speaker 3: we try to facilitate first time applicators as opposed to repeat, repeat, repeat,
Speaker 3: because we get into that sometimes.
Speaker 2: Not that we don't want to help.
Speaker 3: Everybody, that there's some that are have never had this
Speaker 3: benefit for and we try to facilitate that. I it's
Speaker 3: all possible, and it's all for the families and the kids.
Speaker 3: Sure to keep the family units going.
Speaker 1: But the folks on the outside, how can we help
Speaker 1: you help them? Do you take food donations.
Speaker 3: Or we accept donations of dry good food cants, things
Speaker 3: of frozen pies, stuff like that, turkeys. We do have
Speaker 3: a walk in freezer. We can keep those things, okay,
Speaker 3: for a period of time till we get it. And
Speaker 3: if you don't, if you want to donate and you
Speaker 3: don't want to bring food goods, we'll take cash donations
Speaker 3: and we'll go out and buy it ourselves and we'll
Speaker 3: give you a receipt.
Speaker 2: Letter for that.
Speaker 1: That's cool.
Speaker 2: The reserve unit is.
Speaker 3: The five one C three and it does a lot
Speaker 3: of good. Those many women that are in the reserves,
Speaker 3: they don't get paid, They volunteer their time. And I've
Speaker 3: got several lifetimers that's done.
Speaker 2: It for forty years or more.
Speaker 1: Probably. Wow, this is incredible. And then Christmas thing, you
Speaker 1: kind of you kind of have your own little thing.
Speaker 3: How that one, Yeah, Santa Claus shows up, Missus Claus
Speaker 3: is there, and naturally the ladies in the office make
Speaker 3: sure there's plenty of punch and cookies for every one.
Speaker 2: That's the way.
Speaker 3: It's Christmas. You know, we do things at Christmas. We
Speaker 3: don't do it other times of the year. But I
Speaker 3: think this community is probably one of the best communities
Speaker 3: live in.
Speaker 2: Is one of the most giving.
Speaker 3: Communities, and they're very supportive of most all programs. Our
Speaker 3: number at the Sheriff's office is nine one eight three
Speaker 3: three two four thousand, and either Leeann or Stephanie can
Speaker 3: help you out there with any donations that you might
Speaker 3: want to give. And on a totally different sidebar, what's
Speaker 3: happening this week and next week voting. We have a
Speaker 3: deputy at the election board. Through the early voting, we've
Speaker 3: had a lot of that going on. Go vote your
Speaker 3: true feelings this year and support America. That's one of
Speaker 3: the best things that we can do in this country.
Speaker 3: There are many countries that don't allow this. You can
Speaker 3: vote yourself interest right there, that's right, So remember that.
Speaker 3: Go vote, Go vote for the best interest of the
Speaker 3: country and vote your conscience, and don't forget to give
Speaker 3: thanks to all the veterans that made this country what
Speaker 3: it is.
Speaker 1: That's coming up here real quick too, it is it
Speaker 1: is sheriff. This is always a good time having you
Speaker 1: in here. I do want to remind folks about the
Speaker 1: breakfast tomorrow. If you haven't got your tickets check you
Speaker 1: can get them right there at the Masonic Lote right.
Speaker 3: You can buy them at the door, or you can
Speaker 3: buy them advanced from the Sheriff's office.
Speaker 1: Remember that's only nine dollars and you're going to walk
Speaker 1: away with a full tumb tub and kids eleven to six,
Speaker 1: Tilly four fifty right, my God, and.
Speaker 3: The Masonic Charity Foundation will match our money all to
Speaker 3: a certain amount so we could double.
Speaker 1: That is really generous at the it is a group
Speaker 1: that is really a good thing. I want to thank
Speaker 1: you for coming in today. Oh yeah, we again are
Speaker 1: our reserve folks. I thank you from the citizens because
Speaker 1: we see us sometimes but we just don't say thanks.
Speaker 1: And we know darn well that that paycheck is just
Speaker 1: basically a pat on the back there for being in
Speaker 1: the reserves.
Speaker 3: Well, the feel good factors really there.
Speaker 1: But I since sheer warmth is what we're trying to.
Speaker 3: Only echo what you said because without my support staff
Speaker 3: and my patrol and investigators, jail staff.
Speaker 2: And my reserves, the Sheriff's office wouldn't be nothing.
Speaker 3: They are the backbone of the Sheriff's office and I
Speaker 3: couldn't do my job without them.
Speaker 2: Many thanks to my staff.
Speaker 1: Sure is there anything we've missed? Probably? Anything you want
Speaker 1: to throw in here? Got a couple of minutes.
Speaker 3: Well, if you go out over the all days and
Speaker 3: you decide to have a little bit too many spirits.
Speaker 3: You have a designated driver or call a cab and
Speaker 3: I would just imagine that Chief Kaberry will be given
Speaker 3: free rides.
Speaker 2: This year as a police parker, so that's always for possibility.
Speaker 1: Alrighty, thank you as always for being here with us.
Speaker 3: Well, thank you for having me Tom. It's a pleasure
Speaker 3: and we really appreciate the radio.
Speaker 1: All right, folks, you've been
