Dear Editor,
To the Great Bend Street Department:
You deserve a big shout out and special thank you for the many long hours and hard work you have done in getting the tree limbs picked up and removed from around town! I truly appreciate your help in removing the many branches from the back of my house. Thank you again for re-arranging your workload to help so many of us clean up after the ice storm! Blessings to all of you!
Cindy Brooke

Sometimes, when law enforcement agencies announce someone has been arrested or charged with a crime, they mention that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This principle places the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s an important reminder because sometimes a person is arrested but never formally charged or a different charge than originally reported is filed. Other times, the case goes to court and the person is found not guilty. Still other times, the charges are filed but the case never goes to court because the case is dropped.
