Catron Deputies Get Tasers
- Original Mountain Mail/STPNS article: Catron Deputies Get Tasers
SOCORRO, New Mexico (STPNS) -- Catron County Sheriff's deputies were issued Tasers on May 8 after they completed training conducted by the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Department.
The training included getting shot by a Taser, which sticks prongs into a suspect and gives that person an electric shock.
"I immediately felt the jolt. It was no fun," said Under-Sheriff Ian Fletcher.
Fletcher said the Tasers will serve as valuable tools when arresting non-compliant suspects.
"This will be a very effective compliance tool," deputy Jimmy Jaramillo said.
Girl Scouts
The Reserve Brownies Girl Scout Troop held a fundraiser at Ella's Cafe to raise money for their annual summer trip.
Items for sale included cookies, cupcakes and flowers. Brownie leaders Kate Fletcher, Noray Bates and Cathy Craig were pleased with the community support, as all of the items were sold.
Student Council
The Reserve High School student council conducted its final session April 30.
Principal Cindy Shellhorn recognized members of the council for their fundraising efforts, after-school work activities, representation at state events and assisting the school administration throughout the year.
Honor Societies
Reserve Schools held the National Honor Society and National Junior Honor Society induction ceremony on April 30.
NHS inductees were Lynda Plourd, Tasha Powell and Brianna Wilson, while NJHS inductees were Meghan Cushman, Larisa Estrada, Layne Kellar and Gabrielle Hastings.
Women's Club
Kathleen Schuster, an elementary education aide at Reserve Schools, was recently inducted as the president of the General Federated Women's Club.
The Women's Club is an international organization of volunteers dedicated to doing community service.
Schuster's term runs for two years and she said she is deeply honored and excited about the challenges that await her.
