THE LOGAN DAILY NEWS Page 2 Wednesday, March 14, 1973 Nelsonville News NY Board OK's Resolution To Join Girls' Athletic Loop Nelsonville-York school board members last night adopted a resolution for N-Y High School to join a proposed girls' athletic league. Principal Robert Sheskey said eight schools are involved in organization of the loop. He said this would eliminate the problem of scheduling games, and there would be no cost to the district. The board authorized the clerk to pay a total of $608.40 0 in back pay to two cooks. Hillyer explained that the Substitute H.B.

350 required all school boards to grant pay increases of 20 cents per hour to non-certificated employes. He said that because of his error, the two cooks were not City To Buy Property (Continued from Page 1) cramped and building space is needed, and suggested that the city income tax office be moved "up where it belongs." She further said she hopes Council will consider building instead of parking space. Councilwoman Smith said she has been contacted by Don Robers, county sanitarian, with a request that the city provide $4,661 for the health department, with the county to come up with matching funds. This would pay the salary of an additional sanitarian. Councilman Stewart said even if the proposed health levy passes in the May primary election, funds won't become available until.

1974. General opinion of the majority of Council was that the city is only a small portion of the county's population, that the city supports the health department through taxes, and that a cost share of one-third by the city and -thirds by the county would be more fair. The request was placed in the hands of Councilman George Dunigan's committee for further study. Two water contracts were approved, one for John R. Jordon, Logan Rt.

3 (Rt. 33), and one for J. W. Riddlebarger, who lives outside the city at the end of Zanesville Ave. Harp Sommers, manager of the William Wallace.

Division plant, was granted permission to tap a 10-inch water line into the city's main at California to be built by the company at no cost to the city. The request was presented on Sommer's behalf by Dalton, with Sommers then called by telephone and asked to meet with Council. Sommers' proposal for a water line to run along the railroad tracks to William Wallace would serve the plant only in a case of fire, with the water to be used for no other purpose. Council suggested that the plant pay the estimated cost of the line (about with the city to pick up the balance of cost, and run the line along Rt. 93N instead of the railroad tracks.

The city's share would come from the capital improvements fund. Sommers nixed such a proposal. He firmly stated all he wants from Council is permission to tap into city water. He said it will take a lot of engineering studies before the line is started. Asked if he would be willing to spend the same amount of money, with the city to pick up the balance, he said, "If I go up the railroad, I own it; go up Rt.

93 and I've got pure expense, and I'm not interested in going up 93. We have a different set of problems. The only way I'd use it would be if we had a fire. And from a financial view, I have a write my way, none the other way." He said he came to Council with the request for a water line to be extended to the plant two or three times a year ago. At that time, the company would have considered the project being handled either way, but he received no answer and now he is interested only in getting the job done in the one manner.

Sommers said he must have an answer now, as he is committed to getting a line installed to the plant. Council then voted unanimously to provide Sommers with a letter granting permission for the tap-in. Wayne Whitcraft, vice president of Metal Powder Products asked Council to approve "no parking" for about 60 feet on E. Main St. from the dead end entrance to the plant.

He explained that trucks carrying the plant's products are "getting bigger and longer" and that drivers are having difficulty swinging the trucks get into the plant's north parking lot. He said restricted parking would only be needed on weekdays until about 6 p.m., and would not cause any inconvenience to the nearby First Church of Christ. He said he already has talked with the church pastor and there were no objections from the church's board of trustees. The request was referred to Council's sidewalks and alleys committee, headed by Dunigan. In other action: Council passed on third reading an ordinance authorizing the service director to advertise for bids for furnishing gasoline for the city.

Heard the second reading of an ordinance prohibiting parking on the west side of N. Orchard from the N. Orchard St. alley to the end of the street. Was asked by Councilwoman Smith to attend a work session on revenue-sharing fund distributions at 7:30 p.m.

Councilman Ed Dalton objected strenously to accepting the lift station until the area is annexed, stating "I don't think we can afford to go outside the city to maintain anything." Ray Dennis, a resident of Terraceview Heights, said he is i in the process of obtaining signatures from other subdivision residents requesting that the area be annexed, and is about two thirds finished on that phase. He said the next step will be to go before county commissioners, run a legal notice in the newspaper and then hold a public hearing. Councilman Russ Rice said all these actions have required time intervals, which will take some 120 days to complete. A motion to accept the sewage lift station was approved by a 6-1 vote, with Dalton casting the dissenting vote. Harold Drummond, developer of the Beacon Hill subdivision, through Dalton, asked the city to accept the development's streets and utilities.

Roy Loomis, city service director, told Council that Drummond has conformed with everything he should have done in the development, that it was approved by the planning commission and the "workmanship is all right." Councilman James Stewart was asked by Robert Gosnell, president of Council, to contact acting city solicitor Richard Gerken about preparing legislation for acceptance. A poll of Council showed all members in favor of having legislation drawn up to accept the subdivision's streets and utilities. Prior to last night's regular meeting, most Council members joined Recreation Director Harry Westfall in an inspection of the city swimming pool to get a first-hand look at some of the problems arising at the 35- year-old structure. Phil Patterson of Patterson Pools, Columbus, then reviewed needed work for complete renovation of the main pool and wading pool, filtration and circulation systems, and decks. He said such a project would cost an estimated $125,000.

Jim Myers, a member of the city recreation commission, strongly urged Council to proceed with detailed planning on a major pool renovation project so the work could begin this fall immediately after the summer swimming season. Executive Powers (Continued From Page 1) net officer, testifies frequently before House and Senate committees. Kissinger never has, although the White House says he frequently meets informally with members of Congress. Some of Nixon's moves can be traced to his distrust of the bureauracy. A month after his landslide re-election, the President told newsmen at Camp David that "it has been my conviction for years that elected officials in this country too often become prisoners of the bureaucracy which they are supposed to It was at the mountaintop retreat in the Maryland mountains during November and December that Nixon charted a series of steps to tighten White House control of the Bureaucracy.

He shifted trusted White House aides to key management posts at Interior, Transportation and other departments and ordered his Office of Management and Budget to squeeze more efficiency out of the federal workforce. He ordered that administration lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill be coordinated from the White House, and approved moves to bring public-relations operations throughout government more under the wing of the executive office. Nixon's wielding of executive power should not have come as a surprise to Congress. He included on the list given to the clerk, and as a result they were not given the required increase. He said the cooks involved were originally employed as substitute cooks, but when the 1 lunchroom participation increased due to the new federal lunch policy it became necessary to employ them full-time.

Hillyer told the board that the back pay will come out of the lunch fund. Each cook will receive $304.20. The board accepted the resignation of Mrs. Deborah Deering, a fourth grade teacher at Murray City elementary. Miss Ann Keefer, a graduate of Ohio University, was hired to fill the vacancy for the balance of the school year.

Board members authorized the transfer of $291.72 from the contingency fund to Title III-testing. This was done so the clerk can close the account. A resolution was passed by the board to support retirement credit for military service. Hillyer said all superintendents in Ohio have been requested to present a resolution to their boards by the Trumbull County Interscholastic Association. He said there is a bill in the legislature for veterans of World War II, Korea or Vietnam to receive state retirement credits for their years in the military service.

It was explained that there would be no financial obligation to the board. Board member Wilbur Mender told board members that he had been contacted by a member of the Monday Creek Fish and Game Club concerning the proposed purchase of the old Carbon Hill gym. Board President Irvin Badger asked that this matter be placed on the next agenda, and requested that representatives of the club be present at the session. Board member Roland Pierce questioned Supt. Hillyer about a school bus being parked on Jackson St.

Hillyer advised the board that he would take care of the matter. The board will meet in an informal session at 7:30 a.m. Friday to discuss the proposed board policies and to establish a date for general inspection of school, buildings in the district. telegraphed his plans even before his election in 1968, saying in a campaign speech that "the days of a passive presidency belong to a simpler past. Let me be very clear about this: The next president must take an activist view of his office." An activist president he has been, scholars agree.

"The President steps into power vacuums," Prof. Alexander Bickel of Yale Law School recently told a group of congressmen. "If no one is there, he steps in." Most scholars give Nixon the edge in his struggle with Congress. But the Democrats on Capitol Hill aren't giving up without a fight. It is time, said Sen.

Harold Hughes, D-Iowa, for members of Congress "to dig their heels in and be damned if they are going to be shoved any further" by the executive branch. "For my own," Hughes said, "I've been pushed about as far as I intend to be pushed."

Work Stoppage Called CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) Officials of the Ohio Bell Telephone Co. will try today to resolve a. work dispute with the Communication Workers of America that has caused some 100 service representatives to call a work stoppage. is concerned that parents and youth in the county may not realize that individuals found guilty of possession or sale of marijuana may face criminal penalties of up to life imprisonment.

Nolan's concern is based upon the continuing increase of cases presented to the Athens County Common Pleas Court. Recently Judge Lowell B. Howard sentenced Timothy Withem of Nelsonville, according to law, for the charge of selling an hallucinogen, being punishable by sentence of 1 to 5 years in the Ohio Penitentiary. Withem earlier pled guilty to charges of selling an hallucinogen, Nolan said. Prosecutor Nolan went on to say that Harold Hannah, 18, Nelsonville, entered a plea of guilty to charges of selling marijuana in court March 12.

Hannah is the fifth of 11 youths from the Nelsonville area to plead guilty to secret indictments returned by the January grand jury, according to Nolan. All 11 were indicted on drug related charges. Nolan noted that he has presented 17 drug related cases during the first three months of his term as Athens County prosecuting attorney, compared to a total of only 32 such cases during the past year. At that rate, he indicated that conceivably 70 to 100 local youths could face prison sentences as a result of experimentation or sale of marijuana and other drugs. Nolan said that all of the publicity given to the controversy of legalization of marijuana in California and the new "decriminalization" of marijuana use and possession in Michigan and other states may result in innocent young people experimenting with drugs without realizing the potential damage of facfelony charges under Ohio's law.

He commented that local law enforcement, state and federal narcotic agents are responsible for enforcing the present Ohio law pertaining to drug possession, use and sale. Nolan reminded parents that changes in other state laws and discussion of potential changes in no way affect the present Ohio Criminal Code. Nolan urged that parents, teachers and young citizens of the community understand the serious criminal sentences required under Ohio law for drug related offenses. Richard James, Nelsonville, was apprehended Saturday. James was secretly indicted by the January grand jury on the charge of unlawfully delivering barbiturates, which carries a penalty of 1 to 5 years in jail.

James made an appearance in court Tuesday and bond was set at $5,000. Stereo Tape Player Stolen From Auto Barbara Bartlett, Logan Rt. 1, reported to city police at 11 p.m. Tuesday that a stereo tape player had been stolen from her car. She told officers that she parked the car on the Goodyear plant lot during the afternoon shift, and when she returned to the auto at 11 p.m., the $60 tape player was missing.
