The Advocate, Newark, 0., Fri. Nov. 4 1988-Page 3 Northern doesn't make threats in levy campaign repairing the three elementary but a three-year, 4.0-mill emergency By KEVIN HOUSE Advocate Reporter THORNVILLE Northern Local Superintendent Steve Johnson said he hopes voters will realize the need for a levy without officials "threatening" them with massive cuts. "I don't think threats are the answer," Johnson said. "Then you have to carry them out, and that would hurt the kids.

We've tried not to get into stopping athletics and busing and things like that.

And lour consecutive 8.0-mill levies were vetoed prior to the 6.0-mill issue that failed last November. In all.

Northern voters have defeated six straight levies. The levy would cost $61 annually, or 17 cents per day, for a family whose property is valued at $50,000, Johnson said. That's after homestead and rollback deductions. "We're taking a low-key approach this time," Johnson said. "They really went heavy a couple of years ago with a levy committee and everything, and people got discouraged when it failed.

The first thing these people say is "Thank God, I had my seat belt on." These people are very grateful. This type of comment is said many times. So some people do wear them. A lot of people do not.

Why do people always wish they had it on after the crash? After their face is splintered with glass and cuts? After their bodies are wretching with pain? Why not put it on first, as you enter your car, before you start your engine, before you have a crash? We, the residents of Licking County, are experiencing more fatal crashes in 1988 than we have had in the past 10 years. There have been 33 people killed. Twenty-two had seat belts available, but chose not to wear them. Four donations for needy children at Christmas.

But low salaries have led to first-year teachers replacing experienced ones.

"We lost an experienced chemistry and physics teacher, and that one was replaced by a first-year teacher, for example," Wright said. "You want to bring in new teachers, but having too many of them isn't fair to them, either." A widening pupil-teacher ratio is another problem.

There are many myths about the exam required by 1,600 American colleges and universities, so the College Board distributed a true-and-false quiz designed to calm students' nerves.

Studies show that women who stop smoking early in pregnancy reduce their risk of having a low-birthweight baby to nearly the same level as women who have never smoked.

If Northern Local passes its levy Tuesday, top priorities will include upgrading teachers' salaries and did not have seat belts available; five were wearing them, but in the type of crash they were involved in, it did not make any difference. The key difference is the type of crash they were involved in.

Sure, there are times when a person wearing a seat belt might be killed anyway, but look at the difference between those wearing a belt and those who didn't. Which category do you think you would fall in? Do you really want to take a chance? No one can make you wear your seat belt. You may get a citation and have to appear in court and pay a fine. Or you may even get away with not wearing it for a long time. But statistics and odds show you will probably be involved in a traffic crash and it will probably be within 25 miles of your home.
