IN JUNE, they agreed on a compromise: CPR would for the license, but the library would have representatives on the WBOE boar of directors. The license is pending before the Federal Communications Commission. Thursday, the school board approved the compromise, with the provision that for the first 10 years of WBOE's operation by KaoiyI urnnlrl jii noisy, active, bubbling kind of democracy, which is what local government is supposed to be about." OPPONENTS of the charter say it is badly written, puts too much power in the hands of one person and can lead to elimination of elected offices. Meeker repeated a claim often made by charter supporters that if the commissioner form of government had been in existence in 1981, the second phase of the Springfield 91 sewer would have been built.

The county council halted the project after protests from residents to be served by the sewer. Government, led by clerk of courts James McCarthy, Marjorie Sofranko and three others. THE COALITION wants to return to the commissioner form of county government. Meeker, former executive director of the Ohio Democratic Party and a former Beacon Journal reporter, was active in previous charter campaigns, including the successful drive to pass the charter in 1979. "I don't think anybody wants to go back to the old days of closed meetings and government by surprise, with little or no citizen involvement," Meeker said.

The charter government, he said, provides citizens with "a By Jim Carney Beacon Journal staH writer David A. Meeker has been named co-chairman of a group fighting the effort to repeal the Summit County charter. Meeker, 43, president of Meeker-Mayer Advertising Agency, replaces James Williams as a chairman of the Committee to Keep Open Government. Also serving as chairman is former county commissioner Richard Slusser. Williams resigned because he is a Democratic candidate for judge in the 9th District Court of Appeals.

The repeal was placed on the Nov. 2 ballot after a petition drive by the Coalition for Elected dock was driving west when his car swerved over the curb and hit the boys in front of 375 East Cuyahoga Falls Ave. the car crushed their delivery wagon and tossed Fankhauser to the side. Jones was trapped beneath the car as it smashed through a fence and traveled about 70 feet from the street. Police testified that witnesses directed them to a nearby bar, where Dudock had gone after the accident.

Dudock and the officers said he had nothing to drink in the bar and was using the telephone to call his wife. DUDOCK said he had been treated for coughing spells that caused him to lose consciousness. He said he took the last of his medicine on the morning of the accident. He also testified that he had Montgomery argued that the prosec ution failed to show recklessness on Dudock 's part. Under Ohio law, a so-called Victim Impact Report must be prepared by the county probation department before sentencing.

The report will focus on the impact of the youngster's death on his family and is designed to guide Reece in sentencing. The minimum sentence for aggravated vehicular homicide is six months to 2'2 years in prison; the maximum is five years and a $2,500 fine. Reece told Dudock to be prepared to serve time in jail. THE JONKS youth was helping John Fankhauser, also 13, deliver Beacon Journals on East Cuyahoga Falls Avenue when they were hit by Dudock 's car. According to testimony, Du By Richard McBane Beacon Journal staH writer Michael Dudock, who was convicted Thursday of drunk driving and vehicular homicide in an accident last April that killed a 13-year-old Akron boy, will be sentenced Sept.

22. Dudock, 65, of Akron, was convicted by Summit County Common Pleas Judge John W. Reece in the death of Jimmy Jones. Reece said the evidence was overwhelming that Dudock was intoxicated. "He knew but disregarded the risks of driving while intoxicated" and thus acted in a reckless manner, Reece said.

Reece, who heard the case without a jury, earlier denied a defense request to reduce the charge from aggravated vehicular homicide to vehicular homicide. Defense lawyer Jerry By Daniel Beacon Journal staff writer Radio listeners may once again be able to tune into Cleveland-based public radio, following a meeting of the minds between the Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland Public Radio (CPR), the city's public schools and Cuyahoga Community College. Public radio vanished from Cleveland in 1979 when WBOE-FM, then operated by the sehooLs, went off the air because of the school system's financial problems. The schools put the station's equipment up for sale, with the understanding the accepted bidder would be allowed to apply for the WBOE license. The library and Cleveland Public radio, a non-profit group, submitted bids.

The school board awarded WBOE to the library, which offered a substantially higher cash bid. But before the transaction could be completed, it was discovered that the WBOE license had expired. The library and CPR applied for the license, touching off a bat 111' represented on CPR's executive committee and board of trustees. CPR has agreed to broadcast 'hrtnl hrviril news and let stu Michael Dudork been drinking at home that day. County Coroner A.

H. Kyriak-ides said that based on Du-dock's blood-alcohol level, he had eight or nine drinks of whiskey within an hour of the accident. Kyriakides said Jones died four days after the accident because of injuries to the brain stem. He said the boy suffered a heart attack during the accident and a second heart attack before his death. Democrat Celeste calls for jobs dents use the station for vocational training.

Cuyahoga Community College will provide some gramming when the station begins broadcasting in May. CPR held to its original bid for the station and its equipment, which included $23,000 in cash. The library had offered to pay the schools about CPR had offered to make up the difference in services. Claim rejected after secret meeting after the meeting. "The city ities Commission of Ohio to resign and would "fashion a utility policy to benefit all the people of this state." Instead of automatically passing along higher energy costs, utilities would be required to justify increased costs at yearly hearings, he said.

The top management of utilities also should be subject to scrutiny, he said. "When a utility company makes a mistake, when it makes a serious management mistake, the cost of that mistake must be borne by its stockholders, not customers." nesses, he said. Celeste also favors starting a state department to invest in new ventures. Although the copying process which evolved into Xerox was invented in Columbus, the company was started in Rochester, N. because of favorable banking considerations, he said.

He also urged support at the polls Nov. 2 of State Issue which would let the state issue bonds permitting banks and savings and loan associations to offer mortgages below market costs.

Tyndall said the city's insurance company declined to pay the claim because it determined that the city was not liable for the flooding. However, Labay said city workers, who helped clean his basement after the flood, told him a different story. The laborers, Labay explained, said the line had been troublesome and was on a list of those to be checked every year. He said records show the sewage line was last cleaned in August 1980 more than a year and a half before the alleged backup. "IT'S TRAGIC," Tyndall said Warner said.

"You're doing the exact opposite of what you promised to do. Now you're stabbing them in the back." COUNCILMAN James Shaw said he believed the committee could meet any time to discuss additional information. However, law director Frederick Lawrence said the meeting apparently violated the Sunshine Law. Three members of the council could meet without notifying the public, Lawrence explained. But if three members of one committee hold a committee meeting, it probably falls under the Sunshine Law.

"If there was any impropriety at our meeting, it was unintentional," Tyndall said, adding that should have some way that these people could be compensated." Besides Christmas decorations, food, a refrigerator, motors for the furnace and water heater, the Labays lost old high school yearbooks and irreplaceable family photo albums. They were surprised the issue was settled Thursday. "If it came up next meeting as planned and they said I wouldn't feel nearly as bad," Labay said. The Labays, who arrived late for Thursday's council meeting, have attended all the meetings since June as their lawyer advised. "On good faith," Labay said, "I would have stayed home." by a true collector with 20 yean' experience.

Need daggers, swords, uniforms, hats, helmets, flags, medals, badges. Brown makes his strategy clear By Karen Chuparkoff Beacon Journal staff writer Steve and Dorothy Labay thought wading through thigh-high raw sewage in their basement after a storm in March was bad enough. But their bid for compensation for a backed-up storm sewer ended up even worse, the Labays learned Thursday night. The Tallmadge City Council personnel advisory committee met unannounced apparently in violation of Ohio's Sunshine LaW to recommend denying their claim and the council later accepted the recommendation. The Labays, of Southeast Avenue, and their neighbor, Joanne Billick, had sought $8,000 for damage caused to their properties when storm water apparently clogged the sanitary sewer sys buckles, pins, arm bands, etc.

Brown said he also advocates earmarking for schools taxes on personal income, utilities excise taxes, a 0.5 percent sales tax and Continued from page Dl them "fall in areas other than business and personal income taxes."
