County to Ask Political Heads to
Support Extra Geauga Tax Levy

Letters went out this week
from county commissioners to
Theron Dean and John Reith-
offer, chairmen of Geauga's IS Re-
publican and Democrat parties
respectively, seeking their par
ties support for a proposed OPP
Grating levy for the county.
Decision to send the letters
came after a meeting late Mon
day afternoon between commits
sioners, Prosecutor James w.
Dinsmore and Judge Robert B.
Ford, in which ways out of the
county's money shortage were
the chief topic of discussion.
Commissioners have scheduled
another meeting with their de-
partment heads, set for next
Monday at 10 am, to discuss
the proposed levy again. This
time representatives of the two
political parties have also been
invited to attend.
"NeitheS one of the party
heads understands this prob
lem," commissioner william
Burns said Monday.
Commission chairman James
I. Hunt added that IL commits
sioners thought any organized
group like political parties
are against an operating levy
for the county, it wouldn't be
sensible to go ahead"
In the face of rumors that
county political chairmen have
reservations about supporting
an operating levy, were it pro-
posed by commissioners, Judge
Ford suggested they be urged to
meet with their executive COM
mitties between now and Mon
day to take a stand on the is
sue.
Commissioners began discus
sing an operating levy two weeks
ago, when they were forced,
because of funds, to approve ex-
penditures identical to last
years for the county's depart
ments. County officers protest
ed at that time, claiming they
could not get through the year
on less funds than had been re-
quested without cuts in service
rendered to the public.
| If commissioners were to ap-
prove an operating levy, it would
then go on a countrywide ballot
enabling voters to decide whe-
ther to assess an additional tax
upon themselves. A one mil
levy, which would cost property
owners an additional ten cents
for each $l00 of valuation, would
net the county an additional $76,.
| 900.
Prosecutor James Dinsmore
explained that even if commits
Sioners Is.Dt the levy approved in
a special election this spring, In
stead of waiting until the general
election in November, none OF
the assessment could be collect.
ed until taxes are due February
1860.

ScloolBoard
Hires New
Coach

Chardon board of education
heard a parents complaints a
bout the organization of the
high school athletic department
and then proceeded with earlier
plans to hire an assistant coach
at the school board meeting
Monday night.
The new coach, David r. Nc
Grew, recent graduate of Kent
State University now living at
Wilder's Trailer Park, Chardon,
was hired as an assistant to Aa-
tos Nikkila in the high school
athletic department.
McGrew has had varsity ex-
perience at KSU. and taught in
the school conducted by the uni
versity at Kent, according to
Supt. Ira A. Garfield. McGrew's
wife is a music teacher in a
suburban school system.
The superintendent said Nc
Grew would relieve Nikkila,
head Of the athletic department,
of some of his drivers training
cltsses also, enabling Nikkila to
return to part-time counseling
of high school boys, a job he
has done In the past.
The parent, Robert Neill, Rt.
Al, Chardon, was present to sug-
gest unified" coaching sys-
tenn with a coach and assistant
coach. He told school board
members this would be prefea-
BILE to the present use of CO.
coaches, and would help foot
ball team spirit by having one
head coach for the boys to look
to.
Neill, who has two sons in
high school and another who
graduated last year, told board
members that on the field, in
the game, one man coaches the
line and another the backfield
He said one of the coaches, once
asked about substitute, replied
that he didn't know because the
boy wasn't in his department.
According to Rev. Charles
Strong, school board president.
there is only one head coach
for each sport. He said the
school board has specified each
coach has major sport. Any
division of duties, according to
Rev Strong, has been within
the department..
IF this thing has gone as far
as Mr.. Neill says, we need a
study and reevaluation of the
organization in the athletic de-
partnent,' Supt, Garfield stat
ed.
He continued: Much of what
MIR. Neill says Is true. but l
don't think for the reasons he
stated. We have been getting
along the last couple of years
with too few coaches for the
number of boys we have en-
rolled He said he felt the hir-
ing of McGrew could relieve the
problem.
The board listened to re-
quest from Wallace Kosinski,
representing committee of the
Chardon classroom teachers,
seeking salary payments for
teachers twice monthly instead
OF the present system of once a
month payroll School board
members sympathized with the
