At 3:27 p.m. on Tuesday, Bedford County 911dispatchers received a call from a caller on Bell Town Road who reported that they had found a 2-year-old toddler in a back yard pond and he was not breathing.  
    When the first deputy arrived on the scene at 3:32 p.m., the mother was holding the unresponsive child, according to a release from the Bedford County Sheriff's Office. The deputy took the child from the mother and as he was carrying the child to the ambulance, the deputy began to attempt resuscitation. 

    My compliments to House Republicans. They kept their campaign promise to pass a bill repealing ObamaCare. A few Democrats even joined them.

It was really no surprise.

    For the second time in two months, a federal judge has ruled that Congress overstepped the bounds of the Constitution by requiring Americans to purchase health care insurance. The result of the most recent ruling: all of the law “must be declared void.”
    The one question that remains is whether Congress and the Obama Administration will now see the error of their ways and scrap the plan in order to start over — and get it right.

    When 77-year-old William Herchenrider was attacked at his Goode home last May, his six dogs were left without someone to care for them. When he died a couple of months later, those dogs needed new homes.

    Initially four of Herchenrider’s pets were taken to Bedford Animal Hospital to be boarded. Eventually that expense became overwhelming for the family to handle.
     Ultimately an employee at the animal hospital, Michelle Wilkerson-Bowyer, took the dogs home.
