From the Chanute Police Department --
********************************************UPDATE******************************************** The Chanute Police Department is asking for your assistance. We are looking for a gentleman going around town with Utah plates, driving a small dark colored car, and wearing a INOW shirt. The gentleman is saying he is with a third party affiliate with Dish Network and Direct TV. He mentions that he can change a item on your dish satellite and possibly save you money. The Police Department called Dish Network and they mentioned they will not send anyone to any residence with out properly notifying the residence first and to not let anyone change anything on the dish or their equipment. We are asking if you should see or come in contact with this individual to please call us immediately by central dispatch at (620) 431-5768 **************************************************************************************************** UPDATE**************************UPDATE**************************************************** We would like to thank everyone with their help in locating these individuals. They were located and one was issued a citation for not having a city permit to do door to door sales. The Police Department called the fraud unit for the satellite companies, they didn't show any record of them being associated with either Direct TV or Dish Network. Both satellite television companies did say that any person that had dealings with these individuals (NOW COMMUNICATIONS) should call their respective television providers. We have supplied a photo of the vehicles that were used to go around Chanute and surrounding area the last several days.
Here's the Ryans Run for Ollie revised route for tomorrow, Saturday, Sept. 23. Good luck to all the runners!
Here is the new route for Saturday. We will start on the north drive of the Fiesta grounds. We will have arrows to direct you along the way. On the roads just so our traffic on the parts where we will be passing each other just stay right as if in a car. On Santa Fe we will use the side walk going north before we loop by the train and get on the path. I hope this simplifies it for everyone. We will still have a drink station sat up on the road by the fiesta grounds as well, please make sure the cups find a trash can. Thanks guys and see you Saturday!!
This is tonight (Thursday, Sept. 21) and is open to the public. Stop by and check things out.
Delicious lunch today at Odd Fellas. The salad/sandwich combo was just right. Melissa Goodeyon-Bartholomew, congratulations on thinking up the grilled mac & cheese with bacon sandwich! It could be addictive! And the Greek salad was delicious. Service was outstanding, too.
