 Dwight Marriott is presented a Gold Pin from the Ripley Masonic Lodge. Involved in the presentation is, from left, Norman Mick, of the Grand Lodge of Ohio; Marriott; Lexi Gray; Paula Gray and Anita Flaugher.
Marriott received a gold pin and a certificate, presented to him by Norman Mick, Grand Orator representing the Grand Lodge of Ohio. The pin presentation was made by Marriott’s friends, Myron and Anita Flaugher and Paula and Lexie Gray. District Deputy Grand Master Eddie Bailey presided over the public presentation, with 48 guests and visiting brethren in attendance.
Marriott said on the relevance of Freemasonry and the founding fathers of this country, “If it was good enough for them, it is good enough for me.”
Charity is an important tenet of the Masonic fraternity. The 114,000 Masons in Ohio provide approximately $15 million in charitable giving annually. This year they gave $50,000 in college scholarships, contributed a record $200,000 to Special Olympics Ohio Summer Games and funded $70,000 in free training for hundreds of Ohio school teachers to recognize students at non-academic risk. They also provided $12 million in elderly care, and helped many needy Ohio families and individuals through their Charitable Foundation.
Cake and ice cream were served in the fellowship hall afterward.

Court of Appeals investigates two cases |

The 12th District Court of Appeals has returned two more cases to the Brown County Common Pleas Court for further review after declaring the court records “ambiguous and confusing.”
The cases were originally dismissed on the grounds that the defendants’ right to a speedy trial was violated. However, following the decision in the case of Daniel O’Hara , in which the 12th District Court found that the Brown County Common Pleas court had used the federal right to a speedy trial and a similar state right interchangeably.
“All three cases are regarding the same issue,” Court Administrator Joni Dotson said. “The appellate court has asked Judge (Scott) Gusweiler to perform further analysis of the journal entries and cited some confusion of prior journal entries.”
The two most recent cases are State v. Cindy Jo Alcorn, and State v. Eric Lang which date back to 2007 and 2006 respectively.
Lang, 35, of Dayhill-Arnheim Road, was indicted on counts of aggravated burglary, assault, and criminal damaging in June 2006 for an incident that allegedly occurred on May 16, 2006. Lang allegedly broke a glass door and entered the home of Jeremy Shaffer then allegedly assaulted Shaffer.
In addition to the confusion of the journal entries filed in the case, the 12th District Court also ruled that Lang’s attorney failed to respond to a request by the prosecutor in a timely manner. The court ruled that this failure should have affected Lang’s right to a speedy trial. Lang’s attorney argued that a local custom was to respond to the state’s request during the final pre-trial hearing, which has not yet occurred. |
