Grand Jury Indicts Eight in Athens County
Athens County grand jury indicted eight persons at the October session with arraignments set for 10 a.m. Wednesday. Indicted: Mark Edwards, Robert Hodes, Earl Landis, Donald Murnahan, Scott Gillman, Robert Van Meter, Gearoldean Teal, and Kay Nichols for crimes ranging from receiving stolen property and drug possession to forgery and embezzlement.

Athens County Elections Board Receives State Reimbursements
The Athens County Board of Elections received nearly 10 000 dollars in state reimbursement on Thursday for advertising and printing ballots related to two state constitutional issues rejected as unconstitutional. Director William Howe said the funds ease immediate financial strain and quell board commissioner tensions until after the November general election. He warned additional funds may be needed for unforeseen year end costs.

Regional Planners Cite Funding Slows BH HVRDD Study
Athens County planners report the Buckeye Hills Hocking Valley Regional Development District study on post Gavin Power Plant growth cannot begin full implementation due to funding gaps. Beasley says housing and roads are key issues, with private builders needed for housing absent federal aid and sewer water systems lacking. A county solid waste plan is proposed with funding from the county fund or added to the property tax duplicate. Local officials discuss Meigs County as a model and land for landfills is anticipated on public lands. The commission also approves extending Little Hocking Water District service and forms a committee to review mobile home court regulations. Coolville Elementary launches a Campbell Soup Labels for Education drive to fund audio visual equipment through Dec 8.
