To the Editor:
The voters of Morrow Coun
ty are facing a crucial cross
roads in the development of
their youth. The choices the
voters must make are not only
going to affect themselves, but
more importantly, the students
that are now attending school
in Morrow County.

The Morrow County Unified
Recreation District will enable
the students of Morrow Coun
ty to continue to participate in
co-curricular activities. As a
past participant of co-curricular
activities in Morrow County, I
can tell you that they are a very
important part of the educa
tional process. The school dis
trict has already been forced to
reduce some of its resources
that aid in student education.
Don't make the mistake of in
cluding co-curricular activities

Students support rec district
To the Editor:
In just a couple of weeks
ballots will be mailed out for
the vote on the recreation dis
trict. We are asking for the sup
port of our community by
voting yes on this important
issue.
The recreation district will
provide funding for all co-
curricular activities within Mor
row County. Should this fail,
our main concern is the loss of
sports in lone. We believe
athletic competition benefits
students in many ways.
Because participation in sports
requires academic standards,
students work harder to keep
their grades up in order to re
main part of the team. Partici
pation in sports requires dedi
cation and discipline, teaches
leadership, and encourages
teamwork. Remaining active
keeps participants physically fit
and out of trouble.
Athletics also provides enter
tainment for the whole com
munity. We have had the op
portunity to compete beyond
the local level in most of our
team and individual sports and
some teams and individuals
have been very successful.
Athletics provide a sense of ac
complishment and self-esteem.
It is also a way for participants
to meet new people and make
new friends.
Please consider all of the ad
vantages of a sports programs
in our county and vote yes for
the recreation district.

Levy important to highest

Please
P l o y h a r I n su r a n c e
Co-curricular activities make
students better people. The
time commitment that the stu
dents put into these activities is
time that could be spent doing
much less productive and
much more destructive activi
ties.
Co-curricular activities also
help to keep students in school.
The students that take these ac
tivities seriously make the ex
tra effort in the classroom to
stay eligible. What's wrong
with using co-curricular activi
ties as a motivation tool, not
only keeping students in school
but to get them to excel in
school?
Please vote yes for the Mor
row County Unified Recreation
District. A yes vote will enable
the students of Morrow Coun
ty to continue to excel in and
out of the classroom.
Sincerely,
(s) Rick Koffler
To the Editor:
Around September 1, a ballot
will appear in our mailbox for
the Morrow County Unified
Recreation District. The pass
age of this levy for the district
is extremely important to the
highest value crop this county
raises, our children.
Sports and other cocurricular
activities are an absolute ne
cessity to raising well-rounded
young men and women. These
activities teach teamwork, the
ability to work and get along
with other individuals, com
petition, discipline and lessons
in how to take care of their
physical self.
This levy will fund cocur
ricular activities throughout the
Morrow County School Dis
trict.
Please join us in supporting
Morrow County youth by
voting YES for the Morrow

Demand audit
To the Editor:
I am writing this letter in
regards to the subsidies Dr.
Boss in Boardman receives
from the Morrow County
Health District»
I worked briefly for Dr. Boss
and have many questions
about the man and his practice.
I have worked for a number of
other doctor offices and feel I
have a general idea of what
merits a successful, profitable
practice.
Dr. Boss sees a good number
of patients. He has state-of-the-
art x-ray, lab, audio testing and
other medical equipment. He
charges his patients up-to-date
acceptable amounts for his ser
vices. These charges are paid
either by the patients or their
insurance. He sees a reasonable
amount of Medicare and wel
fare patients. He is required to
write off a portion of these
charges, no more than other
doctors.
I do not question that he pro
vides good medical care in an
area where it is much needed.
I do question how such large
subsidies are justified. Why is
such a large amount of money
Justice Court
Report
going toward a practice that
should be able to successfully
support itself as other medical
offices are? It is possible that
some of the services that Dr.
Boss provides to north Morrow
County warrant some of our
support, but not the large
amounts he is receiving at this
time. A refusal to an audit is
outrageous and raises my
suspicions and concerns. Dur
ing a time when our tax dollars
are being stretched so thin, we
really must carefully monitor
where each dollar is being
spent.
I feel that Dr. Boss has treated
our administrator Kevin Erich
very unfairly. I believe Mr.
Erich is working within a tight
budget to best serve the entire
county with all of its diverse
needs.
I strongly encourage the
medical board and others in
this community to demand an
audit before we blindly renew
Dr. Boss's contract. These tax
dollars should be spent toward
the best interest of everyone in
the county.
Sincerely,
