I like to glance at the column “On the Record” in each issue of The Great Bend Tribune, partly to keep up with “the news happenings” and partly to see the diversity of legal offenses in the town which my late mom, Gloria Riedl Marples, was born, in the year 1922. Her parents came from Olmitz — a community founded largely by settlers from Austria. As I glance down the listings in the Tribune’s column “On the Record,” I see everything ranging from ambulance-calls to failure-to-obey traffic signals to instances of illegal narcotics possession.
