Men plead guilty to kidnapping girl By Amelia Robinson News Journal MADISON TOWNSHIP For the second time this year, Madison Township trustee candidate Rose Appleman says she has caught what she considers a sign the township's clerk "thinks she has more power than she actually does." Appleman notified local media organizations that Clerk Sondra Hicks transferred $86,000 to the township's debt retirement fund without getting approval first from trustees, as required by state law. In January, Appleman, who is seeking the seat held by Trustee David Spain, complained the township didn't pass a budget. Appleman said she didn't feel compelled to notify Hicks about the latest mistake. "She's been here long enough, she should have known." said Appleman, who was township clerk from 1988 to 1992. Hicks was appointed township clerk in March 1998.

At the time, Appleman, who also sought the position, said she didn't get a fair shot at the job. The money was transferred from the permissive sales fund and the road and bridge fund to the debt retirement fund recently. Some of the money was transferred Monday to pay for a piece of road department equipment. The bill was due Tuesday, Hicks said. Hicks said she didn't get approval from trustees because she incorrectly believed she didn't have to after state auditors approved the transfer from permissive sales.

The Richland County auditor appropriated the money be moved from the road and bridge fund. "What advance was there for me? It was just an honest mistake," Hicks said. "There wasn't any reason for (trustees) not to approve it," she said. "They know as well as I that the bill has to be paid." The problems will be fixed at the next meeting, Hicks said. Appleman is seeking free publicity, she added.

"That girl has been busy. She's got a hold of the radio station, the TV Hicks said. "Look at Rose Appleman's record as clerk," she said. "She has a lot of nerve to talk about someone else." While Appleman admits the publicity won't hurt her campaign, she said she would have reported the mistake anyway. Tom Patton, trustee chairman, said Appleman brought the problem to his attention a few days ago, but he hasn't had time to look into it.

He doubted Hicks' mistake was intentional. "Why would anyone do anything to get themselves into trouble?" he said. "That stuff is really pretty complicated." Amelia Robinson can be reached at 521-7220. mine K. Gao from her Akron home and tying up her 63-year-old grandmother on April 16.
