Since retiring,he has served on the advisoryboard for new constructionat the school, volunteeredat the football passgate, helped with the trackprogram for the last sevenyears, and currently serveson the HN FFA advisoryboard.

Shehas five children, two whohave graduated from HN andthree who are current students.She was a room motherwhile they were in elementary,and she started theHardin Northern soccer programfor children ages 4-14.Prichard coached g-ball forseveral years, kept stats forthe summer baseball league,Romney, Obamadescend on OhioBy KASIE HUNT andJOSH LEDERMANAssociated PressCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —President Barack Obamaand Republican Mitt Romneyare pitching to college studentsand working-class votersin Ohio less than a weekbefore early voting kicks offin this critical Midwesternstate.Fresh off a high-stakesaddress before world leadersat the United Nations,Obama is set to address ralliesWednesday at two stateuniversities, hoping to generatethe kind of enthusiasmamong young voters thathelped fuel his victory fouryears ago. Romney plansthree stops in major metropolitanareas of the state aspart of a bus tour gearedtoward drawing a contrastwith Obama on middle-classeconomic issues.Both candidates recognizehow critical Ohio’s 18 electoralvotes will be this fall.Losing here would dramaticallynarrow Romney’s pathsto the 270 electoral collegevotes required to win theWhite House — and noRepublican has ever lostOhio and won the presidency.The state has become amain focal point for the twocandidates on the airwaves,with even more TV ads airinghere than in expansiveFlorida. And with early votingset to begin in Ohio onOct. 2, time is running outfor Romney and Obama tomake their cases to maximumeffect.The candidates exchangedbarbs Tuesday over tradepolicies with China, animplicit struggle for votesfrom working-class voterswhose livelihoods have beenaffected by competition fromChinese manufacturers.“When people cheat, thatkills jobs,” Romney said at arally Tuesday afternoon inVandalia, near Dayton.“China has cheated. I willnot allow that to continue.”In a statement, Obamacampaign spokeswoman BenLaBolt criticized Romney’sown investments in Chinesecompanies. “How can wetrust Mitt Romney to standup to China when he profitsfrom China breaking therules?” he said in a statement.Buoyed by signs of animproving economy, Obamahas the edge in Ohio sixweeks out from Election Day.The president has ledRomney in a series of recentpolls in the state, with aWashington Post poll onTuesday showing Obamawith a lead that was outsidethe poll’s margin of error.Even on handling of theeconomy, where Romneyuntil recently has had anadvantage, Obama nowleads.For Romney, Ohio wasalready fraught because ofthe state’s better-than-averageeconomy. The joblessrate in Ohio stands at 7.2percent — almost a full percentagepoint lower than thenational average. Romneyand other Republicans creditOhio’s Republican governor,John Kasich, but the goodnews undermines Romney’spitch that Obama’s policiesaren’t working.Obama’s visit onWednesday marks his 13thtrip to Ohio so far this year,his campaign said. And asRomney was making his wayto Ohio on Tuesday, Obamaunveiled a new campaign adtitled “Fair Share” that seeksto remind voters thatRomney paid a lower tax ratein 2011 — just over 14 percent— than many middleclassfamilies. The ad will airin Ohio and seven othercompetitive states.Romney has visited thestate 10 times since May 1,his campaign said, with anadditional seven visits duringthe primary campaign.The Republican campaign isairing ads in Ohio thataccuse Obama of not beingtough enough on China’sprotection of its exporters.The state’s automobileand manufacturing industriescompete with theirChinese peers, leading towidespread resentment overperceived trade transgressionsby Chinese companiesand their government. Theissue has emerged as a centraltheme in House races, aswell as in the state’s competitiveSenate race.Democrats, hoping toneutralize Romney’s Ohioswing with a bus tour oftheir own, worked to keepalive comments Romneymade in a secretly recordedvideo a sbout how almosthalf of Americans see themselvesas victims and areunwilling to take responsibilityfor their lives. They alsodispatched former Ohio Gov.Ted Strickland to make thecase that Romney is “writingoff the middle class.”and held a cheer camp forthe football cheerleaders.She has chaperonednumerous trips and dancesthroughout the years. Sheand her husband, Mike,hosted a senior camp for aweek in 2009. She has beena football mom for sevenyears and has planned thehomecoming parade andbonfire for to of those years.Currently, LeNora is thepresident of the HN AthleticBoosters and has served onthat board for a year.Both Marshamn andPrichard will be honoredalong with the rest of theHardin Northern homecomingcourt in the homecomingroyalty ceremony, which willbe held on Friday, Sept. 28at 6:30 p.m before the footballgame against Leipsic.Ohio welfarerolls thinnerDAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Anewspaper analysis showsthat tens of thousands ofOhioans left the welfare rollsthis year, putting enrollmentat its lowest point since thebenefit for the poor wasreformed in the 1990s.But the drop doesn’t necessarilyreflect an improvingeconomy.The Dayton Daily Newsanalysis found that the largestsingle reason people left thewelfare rolls is because officialsare taking a harderstance on requiring people toperform work activities asrequired under law. Thatincludes work, communityservice or job training for atleast 30 hours a week.The work requirementbecame an election-year issuewhen Republicans accusedPresident Barack Obama ofdropping the work requirementsfor welfare.“The work requirement inOhio is laid out both in federallaw and in state law and thosehave not changed,” OhioDepartment of Job and FamilyServices spokesman BenJohnson told the newspaper.“The only difference is Ohio isactually doing it.”The size of the welfare programin Ohio peaked at $47million in June 2010, when105,098 households receivedan extra $100 check with helpfrom the federal stimulus program.In the 12 months ending inJuly, the number of Ohiohouseholds receiving welfareand cash paid out dropped by20 percent. There were 73,451Ohio households in the programin July.The state is under pressureto get at least half of all ablebodiedadults receiving assistanceinto a work activity or itcould face $135 million inpenalties from the federal government.The state met thatrequirement for the first timein July.R’dale needs helpersRiverdale Elementary School is looking for volunteersto work with children in grades K-5 on their readingskills.

It's atragic tale. Maybe you shoulddrop off now.But the story ofAmbassador ChristopherStevens in Benghazi on Sept.11 is more than a tale told bymadmen. It rings with thesingular mourning that hasswept unusual portions ofthe world following this fineyoung man's death. It is alsoa tale filled with many lessons,which we SAY, oh yes,we are certainly going tolearn this time.First and foremost, it wasstrange that the new ambassadorshould have left thewell-guarded U.S. Embassyin the Libyan capital ofTripoli and traveled on thisbedeviled date with only minimalsecurity to that barrendesert country's second cityof Benghazi.Second, it seemed strangethat people were rangingaround the U.S. Consulate inBenghazi at 9:30 in theevening, in a city where theyhad to know full well thatthere were wildcat militias,many of them radically anti-American. As recently asJune 11, a rocket-propelledgrenade had hit a convoy inBenghazi carrying London'sambassador to Libya, afterwhich Britain closed its consulatethere.Third, in the days beforethe attack on AmbassadorStevens -- before the 11thanniversary of 9/11 -- intelligenceagencies had issuedanother annual warning tobeware of heightened securityrisks. Small changes weremade in the Libyan protectionof the embassy itself, butalmost no changes in theprotection to the consulate inBenghazi.So, as the dramatists ofold would intone, "the stagewas set."We know now the tragicIt's time to start worryingabout Mitt Romney.Seriously. The guy may justbe running the worst campaignever. And yes, thatincludes the McDLT, printads for organic hemp underwearand France in '39. Notto mention McCain/Palin in'08. Which currently holdsthe gold standard for lousycampaigns. Sure to be a Hallof Fame inductee in a coupleyears.Willard has taken bad to awhole new level. Bad like adumpster behind a fish marketduring a garbage strikebad. Bad like a three-dollarDark Knight Rises DVDbought off a Times Squarecardboard table withAlbanian subtitles bad. Badlike Todd Akin at a NARALbenefit bad. Bad doubleddown. Beyond breaking badto the point of broken bad.GeorgieAnneGeyerSyndicatedcolumnistplaying out of events. Theambassador, the other diplomatsand several guards stationedthere were in the consulatewhen first shouts andthen gunshots rent the air.This was followed by the mobsetting the building on fire,with choking black smokeencompassing everything.At this writing, it is stillunclear whether those firstattacks came from angrymobs, perhaps upset by the9/11 anniversary or perhapsby the recent vulgar film onMuhammad, or by radicalmilitias of the al-Qaida style.That may never be known.But it is known that theambassador fled to a supposedlysafer room, where,unable to get out, he died ofsmoke inhalation.Now, why would a manlike this, considered a knowledgeable,practicing diplomat,apparently beloved ofjust about everyone, takesuch a chance on such a dayfilled with premonition?Many reasons are being putforward, but my experienceof 48 years working in theforeign field would indicate tome that Stevens felt, obviouslyfar too comfortably, that hewas among friends andtherefore invulnerable.He had, for instance, beensent by the State Departmentduring the Libyan civil war ofthe last two years as theAmerican "connection" to therebels in Benghazi. By allaccounts, they got alongswimmingly. The non-radicalrebels loved him, and he felthe had finally found his placein the world. (An idealist,Stevens had started out as amember of the Peace Corpsin Morocco and loved theMiddle East.)When the civil war wasraging moderateWillDurstSyndicatedcolumnistAnd every time the formerGovernor of Massachusettsopens his mouth, it getsworse. He's tone deaf, tonguetied, logically challenged andas approachable as a nearsightedporcupine in heat.The Anti Ray Romano --Nobody Loves Mitt.So uncomfortable aroundreal people, you can practicallyhear him whisper "icky,icky, icky," under his breathwhile shaking hands at rallies.You know there's an aidewith a bottle of hand sanitizerwaiting for him on the bus.Maybe even a 55-gallon drumconnected to a shower head.Got caught on a secretvideo calling 47 percent ofthose real people moochersand malingerers. Shirking,entitled victims dependent onthe government for food.Food. Mmmm. That's us.Just can't get enough of thatgovernment cheese. Youknow what this countryneeds? A good five-cent governmentcracker.The impression is that, 1:he was pandering to his richdonor buddies or, 2: theposter child for the 1 percentreally believes what he said.Either way -- awkward! Andthat massive pounding soundyou hear is a herd of stampedingelephants runningaway from what they fearmight be contagious.Said he wouldn't concernhimself with that 47 percent,which depresses his mostardent supporters, becauseover and he was sent back toLibya as ambassador -- whata wonderful triumph! -- hewould likely assume that hewas among friends. His peoplehad won. Especially inBenghazi.I have seen this happenoften in the foreign field, withdiplomats who get too closeto their foreign "people" andforget that enemies remain;the same happens with journalists.I may have indulgedin it a bit myself, but at leastI'm still alive.The lack of basic weaponryand protection is more difficultto figure. There was, byall reports, no firefightingequipment in the consulate.Had there been even smokepreventionmasks and fireextinguishers, especially inthe halfway-protected roomStevens died in, he may wellhave lived.And did his military companionscarry guns? Did theyhave any escape plans, justfor day-to-day problems,from the consulate? It seemsnot. It is also reported thatthe Libyan guards who finallyarrived on the site took thesurvivors to a secretAmerican "safe house."Either the attackers knewabout it or just followed theLibyan caravan there -- nolonger a safe house, either.All of this is strange, ifonly because, in the last 20years or so, our embassies allover the world have becomefortified camps. Several yearsago, I was in Kampala,Uganda, in Central Africa,and my taxi pulled up nearthe American Embassy,where I had an appointment.The driver stopped a good300 yards away and wouldnot move."It scares me," he said,staring at the frightening fortifications."It scares me, too," Iagreed.In the days after theambassador's death, the peopleof Benghazi attacked themilitias and destroyed theirhavens.

That’sthe governor’s newest idea,and college leaders havebeen asked to come up withsuch a formula this fall.Early this year, Gov. JohnKasich asked Ohio’s 37 publicuniversities and collegesto agree on one statewide“wish list” for how to spend$350 million in state fundingfor campus construction andother improvements. Thecolleges worked together andcarried out his request.Seeing a “real spirit ofteamwork” on that task, nowthe governor has asked collegesto figure out a betterway to divide up $2.4 billionin state operating money forhigher education.He convened anothergroup, headed once again byJeannePhillipsSyndicatedcolumnistme, and when I told him Iwas a college student, heasked for my GPA. When Itold him it was none of hisbusiness, he laughed andasked what my problem was.He said no one else had complainedwhen he asked, andhe didn't mean to pry. I stillfelt he was being rude, so Isaid goodbye and jogged offbefore he could say anything.Abby, I wasn't trying tohide a low GPA, but I don'tthink it's something to tellpeople in a first meeting. Is itnormal for people to ask otherswhat their GPA is -- especiallyif they just met? -- CO-ED IN BOSTONDEAR CO-ED: Whensomeone says he or she is astudent, the question thatusually follows is, "Where areyou studying?" or "What'syour major?" It's not, "What'syour GPA?" which seems likea not-so-subtle way of askingwhether you're a good studentor not.

(AP) — A firethat burned 11 homes andkilled an elderly man whorefused to evacuate was smolderingin rural San DiegoCounty on Tuesday, but gustyafternoon winds could push itback to life, authorities said.Nearly 1,000 firefightersplanned an all-out effort to surroundthe blaze, which continuedto threaten nearly a dozenhomes and 14 outbuildings inthe rural community of Tierradel Sol near the U.S.-Mexicanborder, said fire spokesmanAndy Menshek. Residents oftwo other small communitieswere allowed to return homeearlier.An evacuation order was liftedTuesday afternoon for about80 residents.“That is the one remainingevacuated area,” Menshek said.“That’s our highest prioritytoday ... we have propanetanks, downed power lines anda lot of hotspots to mop up.”The fire, which has burnednearly 4 1/2 square miles ofhilly brush land since Sunday,was 55 percent contained.Although no active flamewas showing, winds beganpicking up Tuesday morningand gusts of up to 40 mphcould hit in the afternoon,Menshek said.“If we get one ember over theline, the fire could take off,” hesaid.On Monday, the body of anelderly man was retrieved froma burned home in Tierra delSol. Neighbors reported theman missing when they saw hisonly vehicle parked at thehome, authorities said.San Diego County coroner’sofficials said Tuesday the manis believed to be a 69-year-oldresident but they still haven’tidentified the victim and haveyet to perform an examination.Neighbors had previouslytold U-T San Diego that theman was 82 and had one leg.Reverse 911 calls notifyinghomeowners of the evacuationorder were made by the countysheriff’s department. Neighborssaid the man decided toremain.“He felt that he was going tobe OK if he stayed,” sheriff’s Lt.Rose Kurupas told the newspaper.“He chose to stay and that’ssad,” Menshek said. “That’swhy we issue these evacuations.”Other blazes in the Westremained active, blanketingsome communities in easternWashington state with smoke.The air quality in manyWenatchee and Cashmereareas was deemed either “hazardous”or “unhealthy” by stateofficials.Authorities there updatedthe sizes of two of the state’slargest fires after more accuratemapping and burnouts to createfire lines, officials said.

The rulingalso could make itextremely difficult to forcethe government to pay damagesfor future mishaps.In March, the appellatecourt panel upheld a 2009ruling by U.S. District JudgeStanwood Duval that hadfound the corps liable for theflooding of New Orleans’Lower 9th Ward neighborhoodand St. Bernard Parishbecause the agency failed toproperly maintain a shippingchannel. That channel,dug in the 1960s, funneledKatrina’s storm surge intothe city. Thousands ofhomes were destroyed,about 1,400 people died inthe flood and much of thecity was left under water.Then on Monday, thesame panel did a legal backflipand said its new ruling“completely insulates thegovernment from liability,”leaving lawyers and residentsbaffled.“There are certain criteriawhere the federal governmentcan be sued, and Ithink the levee breaches is aperfect example because theCorps of Engineers is theone that developed the leveesystem,” said Alvin Alexis,62, who had two femalecousins die in the flood.His home was flooded,and he moved his familyacross the Mississippi Riverto an area he considerssafer. Because he was arenter, he said he got only$10,000 in federal aid.In the Lower 9th Ward,By MARIA DANILOVAAssociated PressUREKI, Georgia (AP) —Georgia’s richest man, billionaireand philanthropistBidzina Ivanishvili seems tohave it all — a head-spinningfortune, the respect of hiscountry and gleaming, artfilledpalaces across theglobe, including one wherezebras and pink flamingoesroam.What else could he want?Political power, it turnsout, and that has put him ona collision course withPresident Mikhail Saakashvili— his onetime friend and ally.Since announcing hisambitions a year ago,Ivanishvili has been strippedof his Georgian citizenshipand hit with fines of tens ofmillions of dollars. But he isundeterred in leading hisGeorgian Dream party intoparliamentary elections nextweek that he hopes will makehim prime minister, set tobecome the country’s mostpowerful job after legislativechanges next year.The outcome will have profoundconsequences for thissmall but strategically locatedSouth Caucasus nation,which has been the West’smost loyal ally in a troubled,energy-rich region.The56-year-oldIvanishvili, worth an estimated$6.4 billion, was an earlysupporter of Saakashvili afterFree HIV/AIDS TestingMondays 8 - 9 a.m., Thursdays 3 - 5:30 p.m.without appointment.No blood draw, mouth swab collected.Anonymous or confidential.Must be 13 years of age or older.Results immediately.Union County Health Dept.940 London Ave., Suite 1100,Marysville, OHPh: 1-937-642-0801 or 1-888-333-9461Incentive Gift Cards Available.Sponsored by the UC Aids Task Forceand the Gamma Mu FoundationWednesday, September 26, 2012KENTON TIMES – Page 5Engineer Corps let off thehook for Katrina floodingGeorgia’s richest manruns for country’s top jobhe came to power followingthe 2003 Rose Revolutiondemonstrations that droveout the corruption-riddledregime of EduardShevardnadze.ButIvanishvili, who made his fortunein Russia, graduallybecame disenchanted andbegan to fear that his disagreementswith Saakashvilicould imperil his future.In an interview with TheAssociated Press, he suggestedthat his entry into politicswas at least partly to shieldhim from government pressure.“When you enter politics, itgives you some kind of protection,”he said in his residenceoutside the Black Searesort of Batumi. But heinsists that his rags-to-richesstory also points to a deeperdrive to help his country: “Asmart, gifted person can dothings for himself, but alsofor his friends, for his village,for his country.”Ivanishvili was theyoungest of five children in ahilltop village so poor andremote that a rickety oldtruck brought supplies justonce a month. He often hadno shoes and dreamt of owninga bicycle. After earning anengineering degree in thecapital Tbilisi, he moved toMoscow, where he received aone of the areas hit hardestby Katrina, restaurantowner Henry Holmes said hewas disappointed. He saidhe has struggled to keep hisrestaurant open in an areathat is now a mere shell ofwhat it was before thestorm.“I feel like somebodyshould be held liable,”Holmes said.Neither Holmes nor Alexiswere plaintiffs.Despite the tens of billionsof dollars in reconstructionmoney spent so farin New Orleans, some500,000 people, businessesand government agencieshave sought additional compensationby filing claimsagainst the corps.But federal laws grant thecorps extensive immunityagainst flood-related lawsuitsand give the governmentlots of leeway in howagencies conduct their business.The small army of lawyersfighting the corps overKatrina has long lamentedhow difficult it is to take onthe federal government, afact reinforced by Monday’sruling.“It’s a Herculean task,”said Pierce O’Donnell, a leadattorney in the case. “Thegovernment makes the laws— they created the immunity;it prints the money —they have unlimited funds;and the case is tried in abuilding called the U.S.courthouse.”Under federal law, thegovernment cannot be suedover actions that were based“on considerations of publicpolicy,” the appeals panelwrote. The corps’ decisionsregarding the shippingchannel fall under that protection,the judges wrote.Specifically, the rulingdealt with allegations thatthe Army Corps let a shippingchannel called theMississippi River-GulfOutlet erode wetlands andswamp forests southeast ofNew Orleans. The channelwas built as a short-cutbetween New Orleans andthe Gulf of Mexico, but theeconomic benefits neverpaid off, and only a fewships used it before Katrina.The corps poorly maintainedthe channel knownlocally as “Mister Go,” andthe erosion and other damagehas been called one ofthe nation’s worst environmentaldisasters by some.Scientists have blamedMister Go on the loss ofabout 18,000 acres of marshand 1,500 acres of cypressswamps.Wetlands are considered acrucial natural buffer tohurricanes, acting as abuffer that can help keepfloodwaters at bay.Attorneys have argued theMRGO became a “hurricanehighway” that funneledwater into New Orleans andoverwhelmed the city’sfloodwalls, though the governmenthas said the floodwallswould have failed evenif the waterway had neverbeen dug.The Justice Departmentand the Army Corpsdeclined to commentTuesday.O’Donnell said he wasdisappointed by the panel’sabout-face, which leavesabout 100,000 claims relatedto Katrina in limbo. Onaverage, each claimant hadexpected to get about$140,000 in damages tocover property losses andother expenses and inconveniencecaused by theflooding.He was not yet certain ifattorneys would ask the 5thCircuit to rehear the case orappeal to the U.S. SupremeCourt.Either way, it’s likely thecase is not yet completelysettled because there is somuch at stake, said MarkDavis, a Tulane Universitylaw professor who specializesin water policy.Not only does this casepotentially involve billions ofdollars, but its outcomecould set a precedent forwhether the corps can beheld responsible for futureflooding disasters.Davis said the appealscourt may have reverseditself over concerns that theprevious ruling could exposethe federal government totoo much liability across thenation. The Army Corps hasbeen sued before, but italways came awayuntouched.“And some of that isbecause we have asked it todo all sorts of big riskythings and the deal was thatif we do it, you can’t sue us,”Davis said.Ph.D. in labor economy.When Soviet leaderMikhail Gorbachev launchedhis perestroika campaign andgradually allowed privateentrepreneurship, Ivanishviliand a friend seized the spiritof the times. They beganimporting personal computers— rarities in the SovietUnion that cost the equivalentof two or three cars.Sometimes he wouldapproach foreigners at cafesand plead with them to bringcomputers on their next visit.In 1990, a year before theSoviet Union collapsed,Ivanishvili and his partnersamassed enough money tostart a bank, RossiyskiyKredit, which became a leadingfinancial institution. Itsfirst office was at a kindergarten,and foreign partnerscoming for meetings stumbledover miniature toddlertoilets. As his bank expanded,Ivanishvili started buyinginto mining and metalsplants across Russia, andthen reselling the shares athuge profit.Skeptics wonder whether itwas possible to amass such afortune honestly, butIvanishvili insists that healways ran a clean business.“I never violated any laws,”he said. “I never betrayed ordeceived anyone.”In Loving Memory OfJEAN ANNETTE LYLE DYERMy Sweet Yellow RoseGod gave me a flower with no promise of time.

Page 10 – KENTON TIMESWednesday, September 26, 2012Buck sewer plan discussed(Continued from page one)Kenton Safety ServiceDirector Jim Hites said thecity is waiving the tap fees forthe houses and businesses inthe triangle area who are inthe annexation. This wouldmean a savings of $1,400 pertap, he said. Smith said hisdepartment will also try to cutdown expenses to the projectby donating planning andlabor.Seven properties in the trianglehave been receivingsewer service without payingfor many years, noted Smith.Those owners are to pay onlythe flat fee, but should theydecide not to tie into the newcity system, their lines wouldnot be serviced if a problemdevelops, said the engineer."Those lines are not to EPAstandards," he said. "The citysays they are unacceptable,so does the county. If thereare any problems with thoselines it is up to the residentsto maintain them if they areleft in and used."A resident said the lineshave been in place since 1970and many are 20 feet deep.Assistant Engineer LukeUnderwood said the countywill try to work around anybuildings in the easementspaces and fences will beremoved and replaced afterthe work is completed."We don't want to takebuildings down if we canavoid it," he said.Residents asked if theycould be exempted for usingcity water at their homes."We can't leave gaps," saidKenton Law Director JohnSchwemer. "It will need to beannexation or no annexation."He suggested residentscould continue to use theirwater wells only for householdpurposes such as washingcars or watering gardens.The application for theOPWC funding is the end ofOctober, making it doubtfulthe process can be ready forthis round of loans, saidBailey. That will give thecounty and city a year todetermine what their planswill be for the triangle, hesaid. That will include a secondmeeting on Oct. 22 at thecommunity building of thefairgrounds. Bailey said thecounty hopes a vote onannexation could take placethen and 17 of the 33 propertiesapprove."If we had 18 signatures,we would go now," he said.
