New Richmond School official reacts to state audit findings
New Richmond School Board member Carroll Hinson labels the state audit as blown out of proportion. He notes most errors were honest and unreceipted payments, including a $30 bus run claim on the Fourth of July. He defends AP Appliances and Dr. Miller as essential local services and cites no collusion in the bus contract with his family.

County land purchase irks Batavia trustees
Batavia Township trustees dispute recent county land buys at Bauer Road and near Herold Road totaling 31 and 10 acres for 124000 and 60000 dollars. Critics say the Melrose site violates zoning for a medical social services building and fears rising taxes and devaluation of nearby homes. Supporters claim the Melrose parcel fits hospital access needs and utilities, with future county use uncertain but potentially beneficial. The trustees planned a Tuesday meeting to discuss the issue.

Goshen man offers free annex for police station
Goshen resident James Rochester proposed building a free police station annex at the Feb 21 Goshen Township meeting. He envisions a fingerprint area and photo room, freeing current space for an interrogation room, with an estimated cost of 15 000 to 20 000 dollars. He would fundraise and donate much himself, possibly selling tax deductible land footprints with donor plaques.

Carbon Jet in Ohio River Not Affect Clermont Water
Clermont Countians need not worry about carbon tetrachloride found in the Ohio River last week. Clermont drinking water does not source from the Ohio River. Tate Monroe and PUB systems serve areas near New Richmond. Both the ems and Village of New Richmond draw water from artesian wells. EPA learned of the toxin after it had already passed Cincinnati.
