Mercer County property owner ordered
to pay penalty for open burning
A Dublin Township
property owner has been
ordered to pay a $1,000
civil penalty to Ohio EPA
for violating Ohio’s open

was cited on four occasions

not qualify as an exception
under the regulations for
burning residential waste
because the waste contained
prohibited materials and
was within 1,000 feet of
the nearest residence on a
neighboring property.

from New Idea Farm Equipment

State Supreme
Court Issues…Court Costs
This case involves a man
named Richard E. Joseph. In
1991, Joseph was convicted
of the aggravated murder of
Ryan Young. But it was
not his murder conviction
that was the focus of a case
that we heard here – at the
Supreme Court of Ohio –
earlier this year. Rather,
we were concerned with the
issue of court costs.
After Joseph was
originally convicted, he was
sentenced to death. That
sentence was affirmed by the
court of appeals and by our
court in 1995. But Joseph’s
legal battle continued, and
a federal district court
eventually found merit in
four of his claims for relief.
The district court issued
an order that Joseph’s death
sentence “be set aside and
that he be re-sentenced
according to the statutory
guidelines for aggravated
murder in the absence of a
capital specification” as set
forth in Ohio law.
After more appeals,
Joseph returned to the trial
court for resentencing. On
June 6, 2007, the trial court
held a sentencing hearing
and Joseph was sentenced
to life in prison with parole
eligibility after 20 years. On
June 14, the trial court filed
its judgment entry on this
matter. In that entry, the trial
court imposed court costs on
Joseph; however, the court
had not mentioned court
costs during the sentencing
hearing.
Joseph appealed that
sentence, arguing that the
trial court had erred when
it included a punishment –
court costs – in the written
entry that it had not imposed
from the bench at the
sentencing hearing. The
court of appeals sustained
the judgment of the trial
court, holding that “a trial
court is not required to orally
address a defendant at the
sentencing hearing to inform
him that he is required” by
law to “pay for the costs of
prosecution.”
When the case came
before us, we were asked to
answer this question: May
a trial court impose court
costs in its sentencing entry
when it did not impose those
costs in open court at the
sentencing hearing?
At the time of Joseph’s
has never dreamed about. It
may be a very interesting next
two years in Washington.
One thing is for sure, we
will have a new Speaker of
the House and I think John
Boehner will do just fine.
I think the President will
have his hands full taking
on Boehner and the “New”
House of Representatives.
I think Mercer County
went as most of us thought
it would. Let’s hope all
those elected will do what
is right for the folks here in
Mercer County. All they
have to do is listen to the
trial, the pertinent Ohio
law stated: “In all criminal
cases…the judge or
magistrate shall include
in the sentence the costs
of prosecution and render
a judgment against the
defendant for such costs.”
Despite the fact that the
law requires a judge to assess
costs against all convicted
criminal defendants, our
court has, in the past, held
that “waiver of costs is
permitted – but not required –
if the defendant is indigent.”
In a case from 2006 we also
held that a motion by an
indigent criminal defendant
to waive payment of costs
must be made at the time of
the sentencing.
In this case, Joseph was
not given an opportunity at
the sentencing hearing to
seek a waiver of the payment
of costs, because the trial
court did not mention costs
at the sentencing hearing.
Joseph argued that the trial
court’s failure to orally
inform him of court costs
is akin to a court’s failure
to alert a defendant at his
sentencing hearing that the
court is imposing postrelease
control.
He made this argument
because we have held in
previous cases that when the
law mandates postrelease
control, the failure of the
judge to notify the defendant
about postrelease control
results in a void sentence,
and it necessitates a complete
resentencing.
But there is a significant
difference between
postrelease control and court
costs in regard to the duty
of the trial court. Simply
put, the trial court has the
power to waive the payment
of court costs; the court does
not have the power to waive
the imposition of postrelease
control, because that is
mandated by statute.
While the imposition of
court costs is mandatory, the
court’s waiver of payment
remains discretionary. The
trial court does not act outside
of its jurisdiction when it
fails to require payment of
court costs.
The other important
distinction is in the very nature
of court costs. Our court has
held that costs are distinct
from criminal punishment.
“Although costs in criminal

people and take into consid-

and take it from there. That
doesn’t seem difficult to me.
Let’s hope they all live up to
their campaign promises. I
hope all the elected officials
remember that they were
voted into office and they can
be voted out the same way. It
will be interesting, I am sure.

What’s Yours??
cases are assessed at
sentencing and are included
in the sentencing entry, costs
are not punishment, but are
more akin to a civil judgment
for money.”
And the fact that court
costs are a civil obligation
is true in both criminal
and civil cases: “By
being involved in court
proceedings, any litigant, by
implied contract, becomes
liable for the payment of
court costs if taxed as a part
of the court’s judgment.
A judgment for costs in
a criminal case is a civil,
not a criminal, obligation,
and may be collected only
by the methods provided
for the collection of civil
judgments.”
These distinctions are
important because the civil
nature of the imposition of
court costs does not create
the taint on the criminal
sentence that the failure
to inform a defendant of
postrelease control does.
While the failure of the
trial court to orally notify
Joseph that it was imposing
court costs on him does not
void his sentence, it was
nonetheless error. The rules
that govern trials state that a
criminal defendant must be
present at every stage of his
trial, including sentencing.
The state argued that
any error that might have
occurred was harmless. But
Joseph was harmed here. He
was denied the opportunity
to claim indigency and to
seek a waiver of the payment
of court costs before the trial
court. He should have had
that chance.
Therefore – by a seven-
to-zero vote – we decided
to send the cause back to
the trial court for the limited
purpose of allowing Joseph
to file a motion with the
court for a waiver of the
payment of court costs. If
Joseph files such a motion,
the court should rule upon it
within a reasonable time.
With this ruling, we
affirmed the judgment of the
court of appeals insofar as it
held that Joseph is not entitled
to a complete resentencing.
But we reversed the court
of appeals’ holding that
the trial court’s failure to
mention court costs during
the sentencing hearing was
not error.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
Use “Open Enrollment” to
Help Meet Financial Goals
November is a popular month for “open enrollment” — that time
when you can choose from the options offered in your employer’s
benefits package. By making the right moves in some key areas —
such as your 401(k) and life insurance — you can help protect your
family and boost your progress toward your long-term financial goals.
Let’s consider your 401(k) first. If you haven’t taken part in your
401(k) plan, you need to review the benefits of this excellent retirement-
savings vehicle. First, you contribute pre-tax dollars to your 401(k), so
the more you put in, the lower your adjusted gross income — and the
lower your annual tax bill. Also, your 401(k) earnings accumulate on a
tax-deferred basis. Furthermore, your employer may offer a matching
contribution, and if you’re not participating in your plan or not putting
in enough to earn the match, you’re essentially leaving money “on the
table.”
So, if you’re not already investing in your 401(k), now is the time to
get started. And if you’ve already been putting money in your 401(k),
you may want to use the open enrollment period to increase your
contributions or to rebalance your investment choices in response to
changes in investment performance or in your goals or risk tolerance.
Of course, depending on your plan, you may also be able to make
changes in your 401(k) at other times in the year.
During open enrollment, you’ll also want to look at your insurance
choices. Your employer may offer a certain amount of life insurance,
and possibly disability insurance, at no cost. Clearly, this coverage can
be beneficial — but is it enough to meet your family’s needs?
To answer this question, you’ll need to review at least three key
areas of your family’s finances:
• Debts — Try to calculate your overall debt load — mortgage, car
payments, credit cards and so on.
• Education — If you are planning on helping your children pay for
college, try to estimate these costs. Keep in mind the considerable
differences in expenses between colleges: public versus private and
in-state versus out-of-state. Keep in mind that college costs have been
rising faster than the overall cost of living.
• Income replacement — Try to determine about how much of
your income would need to be replaced for your family to maintain its
current lifestyle.
Once you’ve made these types of calculations, you’ll be in a
better position to know if the life and disability coverage offered by
your employer is sufficient to meet your needs. You might be able
to purchase additional insurance through your employer, but even
this coverage may not be enough. That’s why you may want to work
with a professional financial advisor — someone who can help you
identify any gaps that may exist in your coverage and recommend any
additional coverage to fill this void.
You may also find other advantages to individually owned
insurance, such as portability — you can take your policy with you, no
matter where you work — and affordability — you may find that some
policies, particularly term life insurance, may be less costly than the
supplemental insurance you could purchase from your employer.
So, review both your insurance situation and your 401(k) plan
during the open enrollment calendar. It’s a great time to make those
choices that can help you during all the seasons of your life.

Cleo
by Helen Brown
helen Brown had
recently experienced a major
tragedy in her life. When
her young son begged that
they still adopt the kitten
like promised, she had
second and third and fourth
thoughts. But the smile
that returned to his face,
something she hadn’t seen
in awhile, made her change
her mind. And thus cleo
became a part of them.
the story goes on to tell
how the funny looking little
black kitten with the large
ears and big heart mended
a family. After a disaster,
the feline healed their
wounds and helped them
gauge the roller coaster of
life. Following the accident,
helen’s family was numb.
they were going through
the motions, but not
coping well. relatives and
friends tried to help and
meant well, but they just
didn’t understand that the
words they intended to be
comforting, were sometimes
insensitive and harsh. then
cleo would tear through
the house chasing a non-
existent prey—or one that
was gently floating in a
sunbeam. if nothing else,
it took their minds off the
hurt for the moment. little
by little, cleo showed them
that life could be good
again. it was okay to laugh.
the future looked a little
brighter when viewing it
through those green eyes.
chapter four: the
intruder; begins with the
quote “A cat doesn’t go
where it’s invited. it appears
where it’s needed.” that
can be said of many people
and creatures. At times,
someone or something
shows up for a reason:
maybe to get us through
some tough times. if we’re
lucky, they will stay in our
lives for a long time. or they
may be gone soon—after

they’ve fulfilled the need.
either way, we are fortunate
to have been blessed with
their presence. year after
year, cleo graced helen’s
family with her charisma
and affection. it’s funny
how something you don’t
really want can become an
integral and central part of
your life.
i picked up the large print
book, thinking it was fiction.
the adorable black kitten
on the cover had caught my
attention. While reading,
the whole tale appeared so
real---- Brown seemed to
have captured the mind of
a cat and done excellent
research on their activities.
Being owned by cats for
fifteen years, I could relate
to many of cleo’s antics.
re-checking the spine, i
found it is nonfiction. Cleo
is a great story that spans
several decades of time.
through tragedy, sorrows,
joys, challenges, births and
deaths; cleo stayed with
the Browns and gave them
love when they needed
it. the author calls it a
family memoir. looking
back, she doesn’t know if
they would have coped as
well as they did without
the rambunctious runt of
the litter who turned into
the glue that held them
together. cleo is in the new
book section, 636.8 Bro.

Observations..... by John Bruns
OFF THE
WALL
THE SUN STILL ROSE
high school athletics
should be fun, develop self
discipline, and nurture genuine
confidence. This does happen
most of the time, but sports
can also mean being cut from
the squad or experiencing
difficult defeats. The Marion
volleyball team experienced
one of those days which was
not much fun last Saturday.
The Flyers, three time
defending state champions,
were just three victories from
perfection. With the final
several victories, the marion
class of 2011 would own a
championship medallion
for each year of their high
school careers. the regional
final match with Sidney
lehman ended not with a
customary win, but a straight
set defeat. The final defeat
for high school seniors often
seems devastating; the daily
practice routine ends cold
turkey. Thousands of hours
of preparation starting in the
early primary grades and it is
finished.
i can assume the
volleyballers did hurt and
may have even seemed a little
disorientated late Saturday
afternoon, but the sun did rise
the next day and the routine at
home and school was still the
same. the loss was upsetting,
but life did and will precede
much as before. This may
be one of the most important
lessons high school athletics
can teach a youngster; winning
is fun and important, but you
must learn to handle the big
time defeats that ultimately will
happen. losses hurt and some
require us to make changes
in our lives, but we have the
opportunity to learn from each
defeat. that is important, since

most of us will see as many
disappointments as victories
in our lives.
A good friend gave me a
heads up earlier in the week
about the biggest sporting
event of the year that was
to take place last Saturday. I
knew the World Series was
just over, it was not yet Super
Bowl time, nor were we ready
for the Bucks playing the
team from up north. Finally, I
guessed the Breeders Cup, the
big money horse racing event
of the year. I knew nothing
about Zenyatta, however, until
the day of the event. This
horse, a six year old lady, had
taken on all comers including
the boys and had won all 19
races in her career. A win
that day against the strongest
field of the year and her name
should go on top of man of
War, Secretariat, and the
others. Zenyatta ran one of the
classic races in thoroughbred
history. She went from dead
last, caught the leader, but
then finished a nose behind
the winner.
Many years ago, I was
in rome and still remember
seeing michelangelo’s
sculpture, David. it was
one impressive piece of
finished marble and my art
instructor told me it is widely
considered the finest work
in existence. i would also
guess that if we could have
interviewed michelangelo
several centuries ago, he
would have admitted to
some minor concerns about
his work, but one finally has
to live with what you have.
Zenyatta is the best, but not
perfect, and that is just fine.
Every parent knows our kids
are not perfect, but they are
not tradable for any others or
anything else.

Grand lake mariners
Like the legendary
Phoenix of ancient
mythology, new life was
pumped into the Grand lake
mariners last weekend.
During a reorganizational
meeting, celina resident,
Betty Feliciano, was
unanimously approved as the
new general manager to steer
the area’s summer collegiate
baseball program. (When
the Great lakes league was
formed, more than twenty
years ago, the Mariners were
among the early teams.)
Feliciano replaces long-term
general manager, Wayne
miller. miller, who has
been at the helm for fourteen
years, vocally tendered his
resignation at the September
meeting. the organization
has been without a leader
since that time.
“i bring to the table,
a burning passion for the
game of baseball. there are
others in the organization
who share my resolve to
reenergize this golden,
community asset. We are by
far, the smallest community
with a team in the league.
it’s more of a struggle for
us to finance a team than
it is for large, metropolitan
areas like cincinnati or
Toledo. Beyond fundraising,
recruiting a team and
coaching staff, prepping
the field for the 2011
playing season, I harbor a
goal of making the home
games more entertaining
and family friendly. The
tradition of playing bingo
will continue, and we plan
to add presume activities
as well as amusements and
contests between innings.
It’s essential for the players
to become engaged with the
Grand Lake community. In
turn, we hope community
members will develop an
affinity for the team and will
show support by attending
games, offering financial

to help get the 2011 Arts in
the Park – Rockford summer
program off the ground by
making a 100% tax deductible
donation by January 2011 either
to Arts Place, Arts in the Park
– Rockford, 138 East Spring
St., St. Marys, OH 45885 or
to the Leota Braun Foundation,

Box 364, Rockford, OH 45882.
Arts Place, St. Marys, operates

through the generous support
of organizations and individuals
who are being asked to help at
the $25 level. Money donated
by Rockford residents is used
to support only programs in
Rockford. For more information,
contact Lisa Kuhn at the Village
Office at 419-363-3032 or Heidi
Meade of Arts Place at 419-
394-0707, or by visiting www.
artsland.org.
At the November 2 meeting of
the Village of Rockford Council
it was reported the Budget 2011
meetings were going smoothly.
Three ordinances involving
setting expense appropriations,
employee pay schedules and
mayor and council salaries
underwent first readings.
The service committee
reported it will be going with
the original plan regarding the
Market Street trees. The tree
committee would like Village
employees to water these new
trees and will be sending out
“how to care for” letters to those
getting new trees. Administrator
Jeff Long will complete the Tree
City information online.
The safety, economic and
public utilities committees met
before the regular meeting. The
splash pad and new water rates
and water ordinance were among
items discussed. Following the
third reading of the ordinance
granting to the Dayton Power
and Light Company the franchise
in the Village for a period of five
years, automatically renewing
for an additional period of two
years unless notice is given, was
passed.
Monthly notification of
residents having water leaks,
looking for any government
programs that will replace
faucets and shower heads with
low flow ones, and the need of
the rules committee to review
ordinances after the next council
meeting.

the Rockford 21st Century Club’s

Hayes and Club President
Sheila Baltzell shared the

scientist Lee Marek who made
the diet coke and Mentos “soda
fountain” experiment famous on

said Gary Elvan Harman, PhD, a
professor and inventor at Cornell
University whose science fair
project was his collection of fungi
