at all times.
It was reported during the
March 25 hearing that Mrs.
Greer refused to accept regis
tered mail and the County
Sheriff had served papers on a
civil complaint.
Mr. and Mrs. Greer were
not present during the hearing
and Judge McEIIigott set the
hearing over until Wednesday,
April 1 to give them an
opportunity to appear.
On April 1 Mr. and Mrs.
Glenn Greer appeared before
Morrow County Court In the
company of an attorney, Steve
Trukositz.
Trukositz stated that the
hearing was a violation of due
process on the grounds that
the Greers were not given
sufficient notice of the com
plaints or of the hearing of
March 25.
Trukositz also stated that he
had been out of town until
Monday. March 30. and had
not had enough time to gather
a defense. ,
He further stated that he
would not object to the present
hearing as long as it was to be
held as an informal fact-finding
meeting. The court
agreed.
During the informal ques
tioning of the April 1 hearing.
Mrs. Greer was called to the
stand.
Mrs. Greer stated that she
and her husband have been
caring for the dogs because
the state and county do not
have a proper place in the
area to keep them. Greer
explained that Stokes Landing
Humane Society is funded by
donations and that all the help
is volunteer.
Mrs. Greer testified that in
September 1980. County Sher
iff Larry Fetsch asked her to
take in a stray labrador which
was pregnant. The pups were
given away. Sheriff Fetsch
continued to refer people to
her who had stray dogs, she
says.
Upon questioning, Greer
stated that dogs which have
had to be destroyed have been
shot because of the cost of
putting them to sleep. Cur
rently Mrs. Greer's son has
been destroying them, using
his own gun and ammunition.
No one else is willing to do the
job. she says.
No fees are paid for destroy
ing the dogs, she stated in
response to a report made
during the March 25 hearing.
Greer estimated that 4 to 25
dogs are destroyed per month.
They are then buried in the
wildlife refuge.
No money is made from the
service, Greer said, but the
Humane Society is currently
trying to raise money for a
. permanent shelter.
After a brief recess, the
decision of the court was for
Mrs. Greer to keep the dogs
confined at all times until the
final hearing of Wednesday,
April 8.

everyone to dig into the depths
of that jewelry case, hope

getting a lot of mileage out of
your old glasses."
