LETTER TO THE EDITOR
WHAT HAPPENS
Dear Sir:
What happens to the money?
Reportedly, there is no money for
the jail, fire departments and or
equipment, dogcatcher wages, sher-
iffcars and deputy salaries, or other
*essentials" or necessities, condu-
cive to the day to day operation and
good management of local affairs.
There is a law called ~reedom of
information act" which does work in
obtaining information from the fed-
era] government concerning it's
operation. Is our local politicians
immune or above this law? It seems
as though in our county all or most of
the funds for it's operation are fun-
neled through the County Commis-
sion even though part timers. Are
they still getting their full salaries?
I would like to see a financial report
for Summers County. Just how much
money, and how does it get spent or
rather allocated by our commission-
era?
Another line of thought on our jail
situtation is, since it is so inhumane
to incarcerate drug abusers, intoxi-
cated drivers, and other offenders of
society in such a facility that is lack-
ing in educational advantages, a
library, and hot and cold running-
water, lovers, and others, it is deemed
inadequate and illegal.
There could be a major tax levy

Analgesic Rubs for
Muscle Aches & Pain
Muscle aches and pains can be
cm=cd by exc siv ysical ac.
dvity, viral in_fecdons, stress, poor
postm'¢, andodcrfaclms. Muscle
pain may show up/n any area of the
body that is near muscle - in the
head neck, low back area, legsr
arms, and shoulders.
Cold e apy (e.g., ice packs) is
rv mmmmuled initially for many
spot.related muscleinjtuics. Heat
therapy (e.g., hot water boule and
healing pads) often is recom-
mended for aches and pain that
occur one to two days following
muscle injury.
Analgesic rubs are applied to
the skin to helprelieve musclepain.
These me mmescription prod-
uczs that produce "wmnth" and a
sensation of slight "itching" in the
skin. Tl se smsations serve to
dislract the individual from deeper
muscle pain. Ingredients that pro-
duce this effect in the skin are called
counto rnmnts. Countefim'tant
product ingredients include methyl
salicylate, campkor , eucalyptus oil,
and volatile oil of nmstard.
TO THE MONEY?
enacted and build a fine new modern
county correctional facility like some
other municipalities have done. Then
HOT DOGGY the does gooder bleed-
ing hearts will be happy and these
(jails) have an average two year
waiting period to get in. There is
more advantage in jail than out?
There has to be something wrong
with this scenario. You think that
this is just a scenario. Tell it to the
folks around Cincinnati as well as
others.
There has to be answers, but it
will take someone smarter than I.
What happens to the money? Dear
Commissioners if you would cooper-
ate by showing us, the tax payers,
where and how you have spent the
money ( a financial report), you might
expect or at least hope for our coop-
eration, at election time too.
Respectfully,
