mittee is wailing tor Morrow Coun
ty's attorney to finish drawing up a
deed for a 100 s ISO ft lot located
on the Morrow County fair grounds
The senior citizens had originally
planned to build a senior center on
a site across Hinton Creek which the
county had deeded to them Funds
arc included in this year's county
budgd to build an access road and
a bridge to that site The county also
set aside S41,000 to help pay for
construction of the building The
sem«>r citizens were expected to hold
fundraisers to cam the rest of the
money needed to finance the center's
construct am
In February, with approval of the
County Court, the Fair Board ap
plied for a lottery fund grant to help
finance a building on the fairgrounds
which could be used during the fair
for exhibit space The Fair Board at
(hat time said that should they
receive the grant money. they would
turn it over to the senuir citizens on
the condition that they build the
semor center on the tairgnumds Ihc
Fair Board also said that thev would
sign a long term lease for the sec
tion of the fairgrounds where the
building would stand so that the
sena>r citizens would, in effect, own
the land and the building and be
responsible lor the maintenanc e and
upkeep of both
During the public hearing which
preceded the court's approval of the
application, the fair board pointed
out that if the senior center were built
on the fairgrounds, the fair would
benefit by being able to use the
center's main dining hall for addi
tional exhibit space during the fair
The Fair Hoard also pointed out that
they do not have funds to build the
additional exhibit space
The senior citizens also pointed
out at the February hearing, (hat the
site at the fairgrounds would nuke
the center more available for com
munity use and that the access to the
building would be easier
At this point in negotiations, says
senior building committee chairman
Jane Rawlins, the senior board has
officially rescinded all motKms to
build at the Hinton Creek site and in

area which is located on the site that
has been known as the little league

Although the lottery fund grant
has been denied, the Fair Board is
still officially offering the site at the
fairgrounds for the senior center, bxit
have decided to deed the ground to
the senK>r citizens rather than sign
ing a long term lease
At their last meeting, the senior
citizens added some suggestNmx to
the deed which the Fair Board had
taken tor granted. Rawlins says The
senaws wanted access to the building
and use of the parking area includ
ed Purchase price for the land is the
use of the senmr citizen main dining
hall and restrooms during the week
of the fair
Both the fair hoard and the sennit
citizens board are saying officially
that there is agreement on the con
ditions of the deed Unofficially,
members of both boards have ex
pressed objections They have ob

evidence of residence before being
allowed to register
Bloodsworth stated that the new
rule is welcomed by County Clerks
"The new rules will help us to more
effectively identify those who are
qualified voters We have always en
couraged a rule like this because it
has always been a tough job deter
mining in such a short time whether
a pervm was really a resident,”
The new rules state that a prospec
tive voter may register in the period
from 11 days before the election to
a period one day before the election
by appearing in person at tfie Clerk's
Office or other designated station.
The applicant can then "prove" his
residency by either bringing a sign
ed statement from another registered
voter attesting to the applicant's
residence, or by providing one item
from a list of 13 "indicators of
residency.” including a driver's
icensc. a bank statement, or other
piece of identification including the
applicant's name and address
"Anyone who has not voted in the
last two years is sent a 'purge card'
in the mail," said Bkxxlsworth
" Those people are not considered
registered to vote any more unless
they send their 'purge card' hack to
the Clerk's office People who were
sent a purge card' and ignored it and
then show up to vote on elec
tion day will not be allowed to vote
as they are no longer registered to
vote.”
The Clerk’s office urges voters
who are in doubt of their status to
call in advance at 676-q()bl
"If you anticipate a problem, or
are unsure, come in anytime and we
will deal with it." concluded
Bloodsworth "All it takes is a
telephone call and we can help "

Absentee ballots are available at
