The
training will provide an overview of culture, a critical redefinition of
culture along with work on cultural misinformation.
It will enable participants to explore how misinformation affects our
perceptions ? both explicit and implicit - about people, culture and
behaviors.

The Court Security Department at the Wood County Courthouse has started a new program that is liked by the judges and helps keep children occupied while in the Court building. Court Security Officers have secured a grant from a local business to have coloring books, crayons, and stuffed animals near the courtrooms so that children can be occupied and quiet during court hearings. If you are interested in more information or how to setup a similar program, contact Tom Chidester, Chief Court Constable, at 419-354-9302.
