07/02/2008: "Twin Checks For Twin Sisters"

Dispatcher Gary Gibbons and Deputy James Tyrrell of the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office had the privilege of awarding two scholarships from the Washington Council of Police and Sheriff’s (WACOPS) in the amount of $1,000.00 each to twin sisters.

Ursula and Amelia Stegman of Friday Harbor were presented the scholarships, on the lawn of the County Courthouse. The girls are the daughters of Dave and Yolanda Stegman.

Dave is a Dispatcher with the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office. Deputy Tyrell represents the San Juan County Deputy Sheriff’s Guild in WACOPS and Dispatcher Gibbons represents the San Juan County Communications Officers on the Council.

The Council works with elected officials in an advisory capacity for issues affecting Law Enforcement Statewide. This is an honor, to have a couple of young ladies selected from our community, for such recognition.
