Letter to the Editor
Keep extracurricular activities in school
To the Editor:
My name is Shannon Slover
and I am gong to be a junior
next year at Riverside High
School. I play football, baseball
and wrestling, and sports are
practically my life. Without
them, there would be nothing
to do. I think it is very impor
tant that the people of Morrow
County should vote on and
pass the levy to keep sports and
extracurricular activities. Please
keqp sports.
Thank you,

Health District story in error
To the Editor:
1 need to make a correction in
your report of remarks I made
at the Morrow County Medical
Board meeting in lone in last
week's paper.
Cene Allen's endorsement
for the medical board vacancy
was proposed by the Boardman
Chamber of Commerce Board
¿nd was in fact approved by
the general membership of the
Boardman Chamber.
I disagreed with the pro
cedure used for making the en
dorsement in respect to the
facts that this endorsement was
voted without any discussion
of the matter by the general
membership, without any pre
sentation by Mr. Allen of his
views on the operation of the
medical district and without
any opportunity for the other
two applicants for the opening
on the board to present their
ideas and be considered by the
general membership of the
Boardman Chamber.
Mr. Allen may be the best
qualified applicant for the
medical board vacancy; but, his
application was diminished by
an endorsement which did not
give due consideration to the
other Boardman citizens who
made good faith applications
for the vacancy.
Thank you for publishing this
clarification of my comments.

Sports builds character
To the Editor:
Please support the Recreation
District to continue the tradi
tion of sports in our schools. I
am proud to have been involv
ed in athletics and know how
it can help build character and
responsibility. The attendance
to games and tournaments
show the support we have for
our teams and the pride we
have in our communities. Let
us keep that tradition going.
Vote yes for the Recreation
District.

To the Editor:
We have been educators in
Morrow County for 20 years
and have seen, both as edu
cators and parents, the impor
tance of extra-curricular ac
tivities. It is difficult for us to
visualize our schools without
these critical activities. It is a
distinct possibility. We agree
with Dan Daltoso's statement
that it is foolish to say that these
activities are not an essential
part of education. They most
certainly are.

Correction
A portion of a story in the
Aug. 2 issue of the Gazette-
Times, entitled, "H ealth
District rejects Boss' counter of
fer” , was in error.
John Edmundson went on
record at the July 31 health
district meeting opposing the
Boardman Chamber's method
of endorsing Dr. Robert Boss of
the Boardman Clinic.
The membership of the
Boardman Chamber, not just
the board as erroneously stated
in the article, did vote to en
dorse Dr. Boss.
Edmundson said that he
disagreed with the procedure
for making the endorsement.
According to Edmundson, "the
endorsement was voted on
without any discussion of the
matter by the general member
ship, without any presentation
by Mr. Allen of his views on
the operation of the medical
district, and without any op
portunity for the other two ap
plicants for the opening on the
board to present their ideas and
be considered by the general
membership of the Boardman
Chamber."
The children of
Frank and Kay Anderson
cordially invite all friends and relatives to
help them celebrate their 50th wedding
anniversary on Saturday , Aug. 2 6 , 1995
