Judge seeks probation officer to aid Athens County
Judge Harold Rose pressed the Athens County commissioners to formally commit to hiring a full time probation officer for the county. He said the county needs more help beyond Juvenile Officer Sam Buffington and noted potential increased funding from the Ohio Youth Commission if approved. He warned cases could be turned away without extra staff as workload is the heaviest in 13 years. The group also approved a 1972 budget exceeding 3.5 million dollars and discussed water rights for Sunday Creek Valley residents.
