Dog Rescued From House Fire By Volunteer Firefighter On Her First Fire Run
A Volunteer Firefighters first fire run is more than likely a memorable one as Franklin Township firefighter Jen Dyke experienced her first run this past weekend and it certainly will be a very memorable one for her and others involved. After arriving on the scene of a fully engulfed 2 story house fire on Three Locks Road over the weekend she learned that firefighters had thought they seen a dog still underneath parts of the house. After working the fire for while and during a short break Jen went to the house and called for the dog. After a couple minutes she saw movement beside the porch and though was warned the dog may bite from being scared, she approach the dog anyway and got him away from the structure to safety.
Jen explained, "I yelled, "here puppy, here puppy. come on baby" for a few minutes and finally saw movement in between the porch and an object beside the porch. I walked towards it and kept talking to it. I knew it was scared, but I saw his tail wagging. I was warned to stay away from him, but I was in full gear. I didn't care if it tried to attack me. I was going to save it. I grabbed him and he licked my face. I pet it for a second and ran up the hill. I said, "thank you Jesus for letting me save this life." I feel like this was the same as saving a human. Pet owner, Emily Lambert thanked me many times. My Chief, Mike Menendez told me how proud he was. If it weren't for him and others on my department, I'd never be where I am today in the Fire/EMS community." The dog is 3 months old.
Also the pets owner is looking for him to go to a good home as well after the fire. Any inquiries or can give it a good home can be sent to jlizmustang@gmail.com
Jen went back today and met with the dog's current owner and to visit "Hoss", pictured here

Conversation With Mayor Everson Over CPD Wrongful Arrest
Though reported in Columbus Media articles this morning that Kevin Griesheimer Sr, the gentleman wrongfully arrested May 1st had received no apologies from Officials thus provoking a lawsuit appears to be not completely correct. Southern Ohio Social Times spoke exclusively with Mayor Jack Everson Monday afternoon who had already met with the family several weeks ago though not mentioned in other articles to apologize for the incident at his office and is currently continuing to work to bring resolve to the situation. Also, the day after the incident Chillicothe Chief of Police Roger Moore visited the Griesheimer residence to personally apologize for the mistake, even though the dispatcher did send Kevin Sr's info. Mayor Everson and Chief Moore are conducting a full investigation into the contact of the dispatcher as well, due to what the Mayor called "extremely unprofessional language" and not acceptable in his administration.

11-Yr-Old Ross County Jr Idol Competitor Overcoming Odds To Showcase Talents
11-year-old Huntington elementary student Olivia Allagree, is prepared to compete at this years Feast of the Flowering Moon's "Ross County Jr Idol". Olivia has had a journey to be able to compete in contests like Idol, as she was born half deaf with no right ear canal and could only hear out of the left ear. As her mother explained to Southern Ohio Social Times, fortunately she was a good candidate for surgery on the ear canal to open it and hopefully correct the problem. The operation was successful and she has had a total of 4 "touch-up" surgeries following the original surgery over the years. Through it all, Olivia never allowed it to slow her love and passion of learning music and signing. This year will be her 2nd year at the feast and has also competed in numerous other area talent shows. As her mother Tabby Allagree said, "we have all learned through this that God may not always give you everything you want, but he does give you everything you need to get through things." Good luck Olivia! ~AB
