The Chief calls the story of Tim Ryan both powerful and inspirational. He says Ryan's presentation was something he was looking forward to as much as anything.

 

 

Chief Lowers thanks the 708 Mental Health Board for their support to bring Ryan to the community. He says the DeWitt County Substance Abuse Coalition has also been instrumental in some of the things happening locally to help combat this issue and Chief Lowers says they are continuing to build momentum.

 

 

The Chief says Ryan in between his presentations at the junior high and high school last week was able to help several students with personal battles they face and indicates his charity, The Man in Recovery, works to place people in rehab facilities all over the country.
