“This is really exciting for all of us,” Village Administrator Charles Ashmore said. “These low interest loans were to promote growth in our village and generate new jobs, and that’s just what’s happening. We received $99,000 in grant funds and the village added $10,000. This money can only be applied for by Ripley businesses, so all the money stays here in the village.” Repayment of the loans will go directly back to the village. Council approved setting up a special banking account for the revolving loan at First State Bank in Ripley. In August this year a Ripley/USDA Revolving Loan Committee was appointed which reviewed the two requests for loans and recommended to council that both requests be approved. Council approved both requests

for loans. “Hopefully this will encourage other businesses in Ripley to take a risk and request funds from this revolving loan,” Ashmore said, “There’s about
$34,000 left and the money is there for them.” In other business, Ripley residents Jim and Martha Cox spoke to council briefly regarding ongoing golf carts and ATV’s running up and
down the road, with no tags. They were concerned about the danger to the neighborhood. Mayor Tom Leonard said he would speak to the police chief about the issue. Eddie Brierly and Marion Sidwell updated council on the upcoming dedication of a special plaque, memorializing Pfc Thomas G. DeFosse, the only Ripley soldier to die in combat during the Vietnam War. The ceremony will take place on Monday, Nov. 10 on Front Street at 1 p.m. in Ripley. Brierly asked council if the street could be shut down briefly during the event. Councilwoman Roberta Sidwell said she hopes some of DeFosse’s classmates from the Ripley High School class of 1967 will attend the event. Council also had a second reading of a Brown County Solid Waste Management /Plan resolution.

tional and said that he is proud to represent this part of the state. “In southern Ohio, we have people that want to go to work, and we have the roads and the rail and we’re moving ahead. A majority of people in the country feel it’s moving in the wrong direction, but a majority of people in Ohio think it’s moving in the right direction”, Wenstrup said. “We are going to try and leave this country better than we found it. That should be the goal of each and every person that runs for office.”

Creature Feature When should you call the vet? Any time you have a question concerning the health of your pet(s) you should call your veterinarian for advice. If it is a question of general health care or a minor problem call during normal office hours. If there is a genuine emergency or your pet is in pain call immediately. The determination of what is or isn't an emergency is your decision. If in doubt, please call. The following is not meant to be an all-inclusive list but, rather, guidelines for when to call your veterinarian. Call immediately if: 1. Your pet has been hit by a car. Even if there are no apparent injuries, there could be internal damage. 2. There is an obviously broken bone or you have a strong suspicion of such. 3. Your pet is losing a lot of blood. Either from a cut or through vomiting or diarrhea. 4. Your pet is straining to urinate without producing any urine. 5. Your pet is having difficulty breathing or panting excessively and is in obvious distress. 6. Your pet is shaking uncontrollably (not just shivering due to cold or nervousness) or is having a seizure or convulsion. 7. Your female pet has been in labor for approximately 2 hours or more without producing any offspring. 8. Your dog or cat appears to be paralyzed in front, rear, or all legs. 9. Your pet is extremely listless or weak. 10. Your dog or cat experiences a sudden drastic change in behavior. 11. You discover your pet ingesting a known

toxic substance or a nonfood item that could injure or block the throat or gastrointestinal tract. 12. Your pet has suffered severe burns, smoke inhalation, electrical shock, or near-drowning. 13. Your dog or cat has persistent, repetitive vomiting or diarrhea. 14. Your dog appears to have become bloated very suddenly. Again, this list is not
intended to be all-inclusive. There are simply too many potential emergency health problems to list them all. If you have any doubts about whether a situation is an emergency call your veterinarian. He or she can determine the status for you. There may be some first aid measures you can do at home that will suffice until normal office hours. Remember, if you are in doubt call your veterinarian right away.
