The mayor of Carlisle is under investigation for allegedly having inappropriate materials and photos on his city-owned computer that was located in his office at Town Hall.
Police Chief Tim Boggess said Friday, Nov. 13, that city police seized the computer used by Mayor Tim Humphries on Nov. 5 as part of an investigation that started Oct. 17, and that city police are being assisted by the Warren County Sheriff’s Office and Warren County Prosecutor’s Office.
The computer has been sent to the FBI for forensic analysis, Boggess said. He said he was expected to hear from the FBI this week. No charges have been filed as of Friday.
On Friday, Humphries, 41, denied any knowledge of the search warrant and the seizure of his city-owned computer.
"I am unaware of that," he said.
I guess what happened in Vegas
didn't stay in Vegas.

Happy Veteran's Day!

What Is A Veteran? (Attributed to Father Denis Edward O'Brian, USMC)
Some veterans bear visible signs of their service: a missing limb, a jagged scar, a certain look in the eye. Others may carry the evidence inside them, a pin holding a bone together, a piece of shrapnel in the leg - or perhaps another sort of inner steel: the soul's ally forged in the refinery of adversity.
Except in parades, however, the men and women who have kept America safe wear no badge or emblem. You can't tell a vet just by looking. What is a vet?
A vet is the cop on the beat who spent six months in Saudi Arabia sweating two gallons a day making sure the armored personnel carriers didn't run out of fuel.
A vet is the barroom loudmouth, dumber than five wooden planks, whose overgrown frat-boy behavior is outweighed a hundred times in the cosmic scales by four hours of exquisite bravery near the 38th Parallel.
A vet is the nurse who fought against futility and went to sleep sobbing every night for two solid years in Da Nang.
A vet is the POW who went away one person and came back another - or didn't come back at all.
A vet is the drill instructor who has never seen combat - but has saved countless lives by turning slouchy, no-account punks and gang members into marines, airmen, sailors, soldiers and coast guardsmen, and teaching them to watch each other's backs.
A vet is the parade-riding Legionnaire who pins on his ribbons and medals with a prosthetic hand.
A vet is the career quartermaster who watches the ribbons and medals pass him by.
A vet is the three anonymous heroes in The Tomb Of The Unknowns, whose presence at the Arlington National Cemetery must forever preserve the memory of all the anonymous heroes whose valor dies unrecognized with them on the battlefield or in the ocean's sunless deep.
A vet is the old guy bagging groceries at the supermarket - palsied now and aggravatingly slow - who helped liberate a Nazi death camp and who wishes all day long that his wife were still alive to hold him when the nightmares come.
A vet is an ordinary and yet extraordinary human being, a person who offered some of his life's most vital years in the service of his country, and who sacrificed his ambitions so others would not have to sacrifice theirs.
A vet is a soldier and a savior and a sword against the darkness, and he is nothing more that the finest, greatest testimony on behalf of the finest, greatest nation ever known.
So remember, each time you see someone who has served our country, just lean over and say, "Thank You." That's all most people need, and in most cases it will mean more than any medals they could have been awarded or were awarded.
Again, two little words that mean a lot to any Veteran -- "THANK YOU."
Have you hugged and thanked a veteran today?

Fundraiser for 4 Paws for Ability
Posted by DarthDilbert at 11/09/2009 08:47:00 PM
On 21 November 2009 at 2:00pm there will be a fundraiser for 4 Paws for Ability at the
Xenia Holiday Inn. 4 Paws is a Dayton area agency that trains and places service dogs for people with a variety of disabilities. They are a wonderful agency that does great work. They are also one of the only service dog agencies in the country that provides service dogs to disabled children. They rely heavily upon the generosity of donors.
The fund raiser will feature several vendors including Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, Stampin' Up, Creative Memories and Party Lite as well as some independent crafters.
There is a $1 cover charge and a quarter auction as well as an opportunity to make purchases from the participating vendors. The quarter auction gives participants the opportunity to win a variety of items for as little as 25 cents each so bring your quarters. There will also be door prizes.
The cover charge as well as the quarters go directly to 4 Paws. In addition, each vendor will be donating a portion of their proceeds from orders that day.
Because space is limited, it has been requested that only those 18 years old and older come to the fundraiser on the 21st (with the exception of nursing babies).
We look forward to your being there to give 4 Paws some great support.

Government school indoctrinator fired from Clark-Shawnee Government School District
Posted by DarthDilbert at 11/09/2009 08:46:00 PM
A teacher with the Clark-Shawnee [Government] School District in Clark County was fired after a referee appointed by the Ohio Board Of Education reported that the teacher acted inappropriately with female students.
On Sunday, school board members voted unanimously to terminate the contract of 35-year-old Dennis Dahlberg. He submitted a letter of resignation, but it was rejected by the board.
Board members went along with the recommendations that were presented by the referee, John Butz, who was appointed by the Ohio Department of Education. The recommendation was based on hundreds of pages of testimony that was given by witnesses.
The resolution stated that Dahlberg's "conduct (with students) was hostile to the welfare of the school community." It was grounds for termination.
One female student reported in May 2008 that she was sent unwanted text messages by Dahlberg. Another female reported in December that she was directed sexually charged questions twice during class by Dahlberg.
A third student also reported that Dahlberg inappropriately touched her on the back during class.
Dennis Dahlberg is reason #
to homeschool.
