the EPA will require that water be
drained into the Ohio River. The
water will drain into the river near
Cheshire, according to conversation in the meeting.
Consent was needed from the
commissioners because the required pipeline, a 24-inch line,

within 100 feet of County Road 6.
Both consent forms were approved by the commissioners.
In other business, the commissioners approved the release

and satisfaction of 14 mortgages.

Barbara Dill and Rebecca Foley,
$19,620; Dorothy and Kathy
Baker, Angelia and Mark Gilkey,
$16,362; Joanne Cole, $24,615;
and Roy and Ruth Kesterson.
$20,526.
A cooperative paving agree-

ment was approved with Chester
Township.
The transfer of funds from
A217-A01, transfers out, to
B000-B02, dog and kennel, in the
amount of $15,000 was approved.

approved from A217-A01, transfers out, to O011-O01, annex a/c
renovations.
Notice was given of the transfer
of the class B liquor license from
Meigs County Golf Course, LLC,
to Kountry Hills Golf Course,
LLC.
The Ohio Department of Transportation notified the commissioners of their intent to replace

existing drainage structures on
Ohio 124 at mile markers 4.81,
4.95 and 5.31. Portions of the
road will have one-lane traffic during the work. The work is scheduled to take place from June 15 to
Aug. 15, 2014.
Present at the meeting were
Commissioners Tom Anderson,
Tim Ihle and Mike Bartrum, clerk
Gloria Kloes, engineer Eugene
Triplett, Sara Walpole from the
engineer’s office, Randy Hart,
Randy Smith, Winland and Lively.

Mother is stressed out over children in helicopter
Dear Dr. Brothers: My husband teases me about being a
“helicopter mom” because I take a
great deal of interest in our three
kids and their activities. I have
a lot of dreams for them, and I
think they all need a lot of direction. But without my husband’s
support, and with children who
don’t really get it, I wonder if all
my efforts are going to be wasted.
The kids are in middle and high
school, and this is such a crucial
time for them. I feel stressed out
and wonder if I should just give
up. — P.R.
Dear P.R.: Although you can
look at your husband’s teasing as
a benign way for him to point out
the flaws in your style of parenting, it is obvious that his lack of
support for your efforts — and
failure to help you with the job of
child-rearing the way you think it
should be done — is wearing you
down. On top of that, you have the

Alfred UMW holds
monthly meeting
ALFRED — The Alfred United Methodist
Women met Sept. 11 at the church with five members present.
The president, Mary Jo Barringer, led the group
in reciting the UMW purpose. The secretary and
treasurer reports were given. There were 150
friendship calls made.
Sandra Sipes of Phillipsburg, Mo., was picked
for the prayer calendar birthday card furnished by
the president. Sipes is in missions in the Missouri
Conference. Janice Weber will have the October
card.
The group decided to send monetary donations
to Friendly Center, Wesley Community Center,
and Pledge to Mission.
The president told of the Festival of Sharing,
Sept. 29, at Otterbein College. She read a letter
of thanks for the kits donated last year and told
where the kits went.
Weber had the mission report from the Response magazine titles “End Human Trafficking.”
Agents of change are often ordinary people, like
UMW members, who are educating their communities to recognize victims of human trafficking
in plain view, advocating for legislation to protect
trafficked people and those at risk for this crime,
and reaching out a hand to survivors through shelters and other services.
Helen Wolf had the program titles “Take a walk
with Christ.” The objective was that UMW members will know what it means to be the body of
Christ as they explore poverty in their communities and assume responsibility for the brokenness
they find in their neighborhoods. Barringer read
1 Corinthians 12:12-20 and 27. Mary Jo Buckley read the opening prayer and meditation. The
group discussed different methods of cooking
bread and participated in the closing Psalm.
Barringer had the prayer before the refreshments were served by Buckley.
The next meeting will be Oct. 9.

The kids were 14 and 12, and they
didn’t want to see her when she
would call. But now she suddenly
came by and said that she has
changed and that she wants back
into the family. The kids, now 17
and 15, are begging me to let her
come back, which was a surprise.
I would give her a chance, but I’m
not sure it’s a good idea. — F.B.
Dear F.B.: While I don’t know
her side of the story, it would have
to be pretty compelling to justify a
mother leaving her children. Does
a leopard change its spots? Probably not, but she might be able to
camouflage her true nature long
enough to get back in the good
graces of her family. You sound
surprised that the kids — who
wanted nothing to do with her
after she left — are now voting
for togetherness. It’s a predictable
response to events as they’ve unfolded. When they were rejected,
your kids put up a wall to guard

against further hurt. Now they
naturally want to reconnect, if
possible, and make the whole horrible nightmare go away.
The question for you is what
happens when — after a few
weeks or months of newfound
bliss with your ex — she reverts
back to form? If you were to keep
her at arm’s length while you see
if the change is real, it would have
much less impact on your kids,
who still will be in the driver’s
seat when it comes to deciding
what kind of access to give to
their mother, day by day. They
are old enough to have their own
relationship with her and decide
what boundaries make them comfortable. You should do the same.
Don’t think you’d be going back to
her “for the kids’ sake.” Nothing
about your plan guarantees the
kids anything but more stress.

Ohio’s deer-archery season begins statewide
COLUMBUS — The month of September signifies changing leaves, the
harvest season and the beginning of
bow hunting in Ohio. Approximately
205,000 bow hunters, representing
more than half of all Ohioans who hunt
deer, will participate in the statewide
archery deer hunting season opening
Sept. 29, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources’ (ODNR) Division of Wildlife.
During last year’s four-month archery
season, bow hunters killed 82,732 deer,
a decrease of three percent from the
previous year. Crossbow hunters took
44,979 of that number and longbow
hunters took 37,753 deer. Overall, archers accounted for 38 percent of the
219,748 deer taken during Ohio’s combined 2011-12 archery, muzzleloader
and gun seasons.
Licking County was the state leader in
both the vertical bow and crossbow harvest. Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Ashtabula
and Guernsey rounded out the top five
counties in crossbow harvest, while Coshocton, Tuscarawas, Muskingum and
Hamilton completed the list of top five
counties in vertical bow harvest.
Hunters must report their deer harvest, but are no longer required to take
their deer to a check station for physical
inspection. Instead, hunters have three
options to complete the automated
game check: on the Internet at wildohio.
com; by telephone at 877-TAG-ITOH
(877-824-4864). This option is only
available to those who are required to

have a deer permit to hunt deer; at all
license agents. A list of these agents can
be found at wildohio.com or by calling
800-WILDLIFE.
Game-check transactions will be
available online and by telephone seven
days a week and during holidays. Landowner hunters who are not required to
purchase a deer permit must use the
Internet or any license agent to check
their deer. Hunters who tag their deer
as a landowner harvest cannot use
the phone-in method. All authorized
license sales agents will also check in
your game. A list of these agents can
be found at wildohio.com or by calling
800-WILDLIFE.
ODNR’s Division of Wildlife remains
committed to reducing populations
where needed. Through a combination
of both regulatory and programmatic
changes, progress toward reducing locally abundant herds can be expected.
Ohio hunters are also encouraged to
kill more does again this season, using
the reduced-priced antlerless deer permit to help the needy in their area. The
Division of Wildlife is collaborating with
Farmers and Hunters Feeding the Hungry (FHFH) to help pay for the processing of donated venison. Hunters who
donate their deer to a food bank are not
required to pay the processing cost as
long as funding for the effort lasts. More
information about this program can be
found online at fhfh.org.
All deer hunters are required to have
a valid Ohio hunting license and a valid

deer permit. This year, the $15 antlerless deer permit will be valid Sept. 29Nov. 25 in all Zones, A, B and C. The
$15 antlerless permit may be purchased
only until Nov. 25.
This year’s statewide archery season
remains open from Sept. 29- Feb. 3,
2013, including the week of deer-gun
season Nov. 26-Dec. 2. Deer-gun hunters will also be able to enjoy an additional weekend of hunting Dec. 15- 16.
Archers may hunt one half-hour before
sunrise to one half-hour after sunset, except during the statewide gun,
youth and muzzleloader seasons when
they are one half-hour before sunrise
to sunset. Archers hunting during the
statewide gun, youth or muzzleloader
seasons must meet the hunter orange
requirements of those seasons.
To hunt deer in Ohio, hunters must
possess a deer permit in addition to a
valid hunting license. State law allows
hunters to take only one antlered buck
per year, regardless of the type of deer
season, deer permit or weapon used for
deer hunting.
A detailed listing of deer hunting
rules is contained in the 2012-13 Ohio
Hunting Regulations, available where licenses are sold, or may be viewed online
at wildohio.com.

wise use and protection of our natural
resources for the benefit of all. Visit the

484K absentee ballot applications received so far
COLUMBUS — Secretary
of State Jon Husted today
announced that as of Friday,
September 14, an estimated
484,000 absentee ballot applications had been received
by county boards of elections
statewide.
This includes more than
475,600 non-military and
more than 8,600 military
and overseas voter absentee ballot requests. Military

and overseas ballots will be
mailed out beginning later
this week on Saturday, September 22, and ballots for
non-military and overseas
voters will be mailed out beginning on October 2.
“We expect that many
Ohioans will take advantage
of the opportunity to vote by
mail this year,” Husted said.
“By requesting an absentee
ballot, voters can avoid the

lines and have their say without ever having to leave their
homes.”
Absentee ballot applications must be received by
boards of election by noon on
Saturday, November 3. Voters are encouraged to submit
their request as soon as possible to ensure sufficient time
is available for them to complete and return their ballot
to the board of elections.

Included in the total number of requested ballots are
applications sent by the Secretary of State’s office as part
of the first ever statewide
absentee ballot application
mailing. Additional information about the statewide
mailing is available here.
Voters who wish to vote by
mail may also download an

URG computer science professor working on Federal Disease Prevention Grant
RIO GRANDE — One
of the newest faculty members at The University of
Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Community College is making a worldwide impact.
Alisa Neeman, Ph.D., an assistant professor of computer science at Rio Grande, is
developing and upgrading
software that can be used
by scientists around the
world.
Earlier this year, the Athens resident was selected to
take part in a $2 million National Institutes of Health
grant project. The grant
is titled, “Computational
design of specific binding

proteins using Leave-OneOut.” Neeman is working
with principal investigator
Chris Bystroff, a researcher
at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, on the project.
Neeman’s job is to help
Bystroff’s team share use of
his protein design software,
which runs on a supercomputer at the Institute. A job
she says is much easier said
than done.
In order to allow other
scientists around the world
to design proteins, special
software had to be used to
enable access to the supercomputer from remote locations. Enter Neeman.

Neeman installed the Web
server software and configured it to provide remote
access. She worked with
IT staff at Rensselaer Polytechnic’s supercomputing
center, the Computational
Center for Nanotechnology
Innovations (CCNI), to create multiple levels of protection and keep the data secure. Because the research
is constantly evolving,
Neeman must continuously
adjust the Web interface
and workflow software so it
can use new algorithms and
data.
Neeman said it is satisfying to see her software

being used in a research
project designed to fight
disease, and is looking forward to her next five years
of project work.
“I can talk with the students about my real-world
experiences,”
Neeman
said. These experiences are
helpful for students to understand how to apply the

principles they are learning
in the classroom.
While Neeman is understandably busy she is
still finding time to meet
her new students and colleagues during her first
semester teaching at Rio
Grande.
“It rocks,” Neeman said
about her new university.

“The students here are very
engaged and motivated;
they are probably the most
respectful students I have
ever met,” she added.

Space shuttle Endeavour
heads west to new mission
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Space
shuttle Endeavour embarked on its new life as
a museum piece Wednesday, leaving behind its
NASA home and heading west on the last ferry
flight of its kind.
Bolted to the top of a jumbo jet, NASA’s
youngest shuttle departed Kennedy Space
Center at sunrise on the first leg of its flight
to California.
Hundreds of people — astronauts, space
center workers, tourists and journalists —
gathered at the runway to bid Endeavour farewell following two days of rain delays. Crowds
also lined the nearby beaches as the shuttle
swooped in and out of low clouds in one final
show.
Onlookers waved, saluted, blew kisses and
cheered as Endeavour made one last swoop
over its old landing strip, and then aimed for
the Gulf of Mexico.
“You know what? I am feeling a tremendous
amount of pride,” said astronaut Kay Hire,
who flew aboard Endeavour two years ago.

Endeavour will make it as far as Houston on
Wednesday. That’s home to Mission Control
and all the astronauts. Along the way, low flyovers were planned over Stennis Space Center
in Mississippi and the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans, where external fuel tanks
were built during the 30-year shuttle program.
The shuttle is due to arrive at Los Angeles
International Airport on Friday. In mid-October, it will be transported down city streets to
the California Science Center.
If Endeavour couldn’t remain anchored at
the International Space Station, its main destination in recent years, then the science center
is an ideal final stop, said astronaut Gregory
Chamitoff. He will be on hand for Endeavour’s
arrival in Los Angeles.
Chamitoff grew up in California and flew to
the space station in spring 2011 on Endeavour’s final trip to orbit.
“I guess I didn’t really know how I would feel
until I woke up, and I think this is more exciting than it is sad for me,” he said.

An education on teachers’ issues Online instruction
takes off among crafters
John M. Crisp

Scripps Howard News Service

The political right
assumes that the mainstream media is habitually, reactively liberal,
but it’s worth noting
that the putatively leftwing New York Times
largely took management’s part during the
public school teachers’
strike in Chicago last
week.
A Sept. 11 editorial was tellingly titled
“Chicago
Teachers’
Folly.” The following
day, Times columnist
Nicholas Kristof argued
— quite convincingly
— that teachers’ effectiveness, or lack thereof, can be documented
more or less scientifically. He takes the Chicago
teachers’ union to task
for attempting, he says,
to protect the security
of weak teachers who
have been laid off.
Then, on Sept. 13,
Times columnist David
Brooks imagined our
country as made up of
two economies.
Economy I is driven
by companies that make
products such as airplanes and steel and that
are compelled by global
competition to innovate
and streamline. Economy II is made up of
“government-dominated
sectors” like education
and prisons. Because
these sectors don’t face
global competition, they
don’t bother to streamline and eventually they
become bloated and inefficient. Brooks said
the Republican remedy
is to make the second
economy look more like
the first.
Both
columnists’
points are well supported, but their positions seem worrisomely
oversimplified. Brooks
points out, for example,
that in 1960 America

spent roughly $2,800 in
today’s dollars on every
student in our public
school system; now we
spend about $11,000
per student, but no one
claims that our educational outcomes have
increased by a factor of
four.
Still, I wonder if we
would want to go back
to the educational system that we could buy
for $2,800 per student
in 1960. A high-tech
classroom in those days
meant an overhead projector, whose bulb could
be replaced by the janitor. Modern classrooms
are equipped with Internet access and expensive
equipment that requires
additional personnel to
operate and maintain, as
well as more expertise
on the part of the teachers.
Some might consider
classroom items like
these to be frills, but
would you want to send
your child to a school
that didn’t bother to
acknowledge the state
of our culture’s technology?
Furthermore,
for
$11,000 per student,
we’re teaching a lot
more students in more
equivalent
circumstances. In 1960, the
schools in my South
Texas hometown were
essentially segregated,
and I doubt that the
full $2,800 per student
made its way over to the
black side of town. Furthermore, with $11,000
we pay a lot more attention to students with
special needs, who in
1960 might have been
mainstreamed or just ignored.
But this may be the
biggest difference: My
mother began teaching
in the 1940s for less
than $100 per month.
In 1960, public school
teaching was still a

highly feminized subprofession in which
compensation was often
calculated as a second
income, merely supplementary to the family
breadwinner’s main income. No one went into
teaching to climb much
higher than the lower
reaches of the middle
class.
That’s moved in the
right direction, largely
due to the efforts of the
much-maligned
teachers’ unions. Of course,
many would still rather
pay lip service to teachers than to compensate
them generously for the
hard work that they do,
but does anyone really
want to go back to when
teaching was hardly recognized as a profession,
at all?
Nevertheless,
Kristof ’s and Brooks’
points are well taken,
and certainly teachers’
unions have to be realistic and flexible as they
consider the reforms required by an educational
system with constantly
evolving needs. And
certainly weak teachers
must be eliminated.
Still, while Brooks
supports the persistent
modern inclination to
think of schools as businesses, it’s important to
remember that they’re
not. And students aren’t
products, and teachers
aren’t factory workers.
Ironically, those who
are inclined to think of
schools as businesses
never embrace the true
free-market
solution
touted so avidly in business, which is to hike
teacher compensation
until we can rely on
competition to replace
the bad teachers with
good ones.

If you’re itching to take
up knitting or are stuck
in a beadwork project,
there’s help — and many
classes — online.
Options range from
professionally videotaped
courses to quick tutorials
posted on YouTube and
craft blogs. Some cost
money, others are free.
A look at just some of
what’s out there:
Craftsy, a relative newcomer to the business of
online craft classes, is already a giant in the field,
having racked up 1 million
registered users since its
start last summer. The
Denver company’s lighthearted website - one
page features a Chihuahua
decked out in tiny scarf
and matching leg warmers - lists more than 100
courses and workshops.
Craftsy provides classes for beginners and advanced hobbyists in cake
decorating, quilting, sewing, beadwork and more.
Class enrollment is up to
1,600 a day, and the site
is adding 15 new classes
each month, says John Levisay, chief executive officer of Craftsy and parent
company Sympoz.
“People are busy. That’s
why they can’t take a live
class,” says Levisay. “But
people do have small-size
chunks of time.”
A three- to six-hour
Craftsy class - provided
in
30-minute
lessons
— costs from $14.99 to
$49.99. Instructors are
professionally videotaped
and the classes posted to
the site. Once purchased,
a class can be watched at
any time. Students can
post questions to teachers, who respond within a
day or two.
The crafting world has
long shared knowledge via
tutorials, usually free and

posted to YouTube and
blogs. A few popular sites:
Cut Out + Keep, Knitting
Help and Sew Mama Sew.
Kristin Link of Portland,
Ore., started Sew Mama
Sew, an online fabric and
supplies shop, more than
seven years ago. While
that site provides dozens
of free sewing tutorials,
Link also will be teaching
two classes for Craftsy.
“People have different
ways of learning,” says
Link, a former middleschool teacher. “Some
people really need to hear
it as well as see it to be
able to understand it.”
Kate Mason, who is on
the communications staff
at YouTube, the online
video-sharing
company
based in San Bruno, Calif., says she taught herself how to work a sewing
machine and the basics of
quilting by watching YouTube videos - lots of them.
Crafters post questions
to the YouTube videos
they watch, often eliciting
new videos.
“It’s an incredibly dynamic place where the
conversation goes both
ways,” says Mason.
Craftcast with Alison
Lee offers its own take on
the craft class: Students
tune in to live, 90-minute
classes that lean heavily toward jewelry-making
and sculpting. The classes
are offered once a week,
says Lee, of New York
City, and recordings are
available for $39.95.
Lee’s live classes, which
cost $44.95 each, work
like a Webinar: As an instructor works through a
project, participants can
type questions to Lee,
who moderates the discussion. She recently hosted
a free live class featuring
artists and their favorite
craft tools, for which 800
people signed up from
around the world, she
says.

“It’s more of an online
party,” says Lee. “We have
a really good time.”
CraftArtEdu
features
crafts such as weaving and
scrapbooking, and also
hits upon the fine arts,
including oil painting, watercolors and sculpture.
Classes range from 30 to
90 minutes, and cost $15
to $75, according to David
Pyle, chief executive officer of CraftArtEdu.
Instructors featured on
the 2-year-old company’s
website use short video
clips, written tutorials,
step-by-step photographs
and voiceovers. Students
can choose from a changing assortment of 350
classes, says Pyle, adding
that some classes attract
hundreds of students and
a few attract thousands.
“We’re focused on very
high-level crafts and art
and a very high level of engagement of experience,”
says Pyle.
A new crafting kid on
the block, the San Francisco-based Creativebug,
which launched in May,
offers a different payment
plan for its 30-minute
classes: Pay a monthly
fee to view all of the site’s
video classes, from paper crafts and sewing to
jewelry and printmaking.
Subscriptions range from
$16.99 per month for a
six-month membership to
$24.99 for one month.
The goal is to feed a
crafter’s overlapping interests.
“If you knit, you are
probably curious in how
to sew, or how to make a
print,” says Kelly Wilkinson, editorial director for
Creativebug, which offers
about 100 classes.
The many varieties of
online craft instruction
“just goes to show you
there’s a huge demand for
someone to talk people
through this,” says Link.

Rail cars collide in Ohio coal mine injuring five Obituary
CORNING, Ohio (AP) — Authorities say five people were hurt when
two rail cars that transport miners collided in a southeast Ohio mine.
Perry County dispatcher Jeff Wilson says five miners were taken to the
hospital after the accident Wednesday
morning. It happened at a Bucking-

ham Coal mine in Corning, about 55
miles southeast of Columbus in the
area of Wayne National Forest.
It wasn’t clear what caused the crash
or how serious the injuries were. The
sheriff’s office said two of the injured
people were flown to hospitals.
A phone number for Buckingham

Coal rang unanswered Wednesday after the collision.
A spokesman for Wayne National
Forest confirmed Buckingham Coal
does underground mining of privately
held minerals beneath the forest but
said he couldn’t confirm whether the
crash happened under forest property.

Chicago students return to class as strike ends
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago children returned to
school on Wednesday after
teachers ended a seven-day
strike that disrupted the
daily routines of thousands
of families and made the
city a flashpoint in the debate over union rights and
efforts to overhaul the nation’s public school system.
Jayton
Howard,
a
16-year-old student on the
South Side, summed up
his feelings — and those of
many others — in a word:
“Great.”
Union delegates voted
overwhelmingly Tuesday
night to suspend the walkout after discussing a proposed contract settlement
with those in charge of the
nation’s third-largest school
district. They said the contract wasn’t perfect, but
that it included enough concessions on proposed new
teacher evaluations, recall
rights for laid-off teachers
and classroom conditions
to return to work pending a
vote by its more than 26,000
teachers and support staffers in coming weeks.
It was also a relief to parents. The strike stranded
roughly 350,000 students
and left many parents
scrambling to arrange alternative care for their children
even though the district
kept more than 140 schools
open for several hours a day
for meals and activities.

Some parents expressed
hope Wednesday that the
tentative contract agreement would benefit students in a district grappling
with high dropout rates and
poor performance.
“They’ll win from the
strike,” said Leslie SabbsKizer, referring to her children as she walked them
to a South Side elementary
school.
Her
son,
8-year-old
Nkai Melton, said he was
psyched for another reason:
“Going on the playground.”
For parent Erica Weiss,
an end to the strike meant
she wouldn’t have to take
her 6-year-old daughter to
work.
“I am elated. I couldn’t be
happier,” said Weiss, who
had to leave work in the
middle of the day to pick
up her daughter from one of
the schools that stayed open
and then bring her back to
her finance job downtown.
“I have no one else to watch
her. … I can’t even imagine
the people who could have
possibly even lost their jobs
over having to stay home
with their kids because they
have no alternate care. It
just put everyone in a pickle.”
Wilonda Cannon, a single
mother raising her four children in North Lawndale, a
poor West Side neighborhood beset by gang shootings, said she was relieved

that her two youngest
were returning to class after spending the last seven
weekdays with their grandfather.
She said she hoped the
agreement was the beginning of something new for
Chicago’s public school system, which has long struggled with high drop-out
rates and low test scores. It
will take months if not years
before parents and teachers
will see whether the changes and contract provisions
pay off for students.
“I don’t know all the ins
and outs (of the contract
negotiations) … but it does
seem as though it’s a step
in the right direction,” Cannon said.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel
— who filed a lawsuit this
week to try to force teachers back to work — called
the settlement “an honest
compromise.”
Union leaders pointed to
concessions by the city on
how closely teacher evaluations will be tied to student
test scores and to better opportunities for teachers to
retain their jobs if schools
are closed by budget cuts.
“We said that we couldn’t
solve all the problems of the
world with one contract,
and it was time to end the
strike,” said Chicago Teachers Union President Karen
Lewis.
With an average salary of

$76,000, Chicago teachers
are already among the highest-paid in the nation. The
district’s final proposal included an average 7 percent
raise over three years, with
additional raises for experience and education.
But the evaluations and
job
security measures
stirred the most intense
debate. The union said the
evaluation system relied too
heavily on test scores and
did not take into account
outside factors that affect
student performance such
as poverty, violence and
homelessness.
The union also pushed
to give laid-off teachers
first dibs on open jobs anywhere in the district. The
district said that could prevent principals from hiring
the teachers they thought
most appropriate for the
position. The tentative
settlement proposed giving
laid-off teachers first shot
at schools that absorbed
their former students and
filling half of district openings from a pool of laid-off
teachers.
Susan Hickey, a school
social worker, said she is
eager to learn how the students she counsels fared
over the summer.
“How are they? Are they
OK?” she said. “I’m glad to
be back for all kinds of reasons.”

Romney keeps relearning history’s gaffe lessons
WASHINGTON (AP) — Who says
Mitt Romney doesn’t worry much
about the very poor? That he believes corporations are people, too?
That his wife drives two Cadillacs?
Romney himself, that’s who. When
it comes to portraying the Republican nominee as an uncaring, out-oftouch rich guy, he’s his own worst
enemy, offering up a bonanza for
Democratic attack ads.
Romney hit the trifecta this time
by saying that 47 percent of Americans believe they are victims, think
“government has a responsibility to
care for them” and are unwilling to
step up and support themselves.
He may seem doomed to relearn
the same loose-lips lesson over and
over again in 2012. But Romney’s far
from the first candidate to blunder
into a buzz saw of his own words.
His rival, President Barack Obama,
still hasn’t lived down a similar incident from 2008.
In both cases the uproar was amplified because the remarks were intended only for the ears of wealthy
campaign donors, said Kathleen Hall
Jamieson, director of the University
of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg Public
Policy Center. “It’s damaging when
the public perceives that something
said in private is not being said in
public,” she said.
But this time, for Romney, the perception “that the statement speaks
potentially to character and personality as well as to policy positions
makes it more potentially damaging,” Jamieson added.
Obama was caught on video belittling small-town Midwesterners in
remarks to San Francisco liberals at
a private fundraiser during his first

presidential campaign. People struggling to get by in the small towns of
Pennsylvania and the Midwest “get
bitter, they cling to guns or religion,” Obama said.
Obama’s Democratic primary rival, Hillary Rodham Clinton, pronounced his remark “elitist and out
of touch.”
Four years later, GOP vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan is keeping
the gaffe alive by pointedly declaring
himself proud to be a Catholic deer
hunter.
And witness the Republicans’ joyful riffing on Obama’s more recent
“You didn’t build that” comment.
Steve Frantzich, a U.S. Naval
Academy professor who wrote a
book on candidates’ “oops” moments, predicts an even faster rate of
flubs in the future, thanks to smartphones, YouTube and such. “There
is no backstage area in modern campaigns,” Frantzich said. Words gone
wrong are nothing new, however.
Romney has said he first learned
to fear such slip-ups as a young man,
when the presidential hopes of his father, Michigan Gov. George Romney,
imploded 45 years ago under the
weight of a single ill-chosen phrase.
Asked why he had previously supported the Vietnam War, the elder
Romney said that during an overseas
tour, generals and diplomats had
influenced him with “the greatest
brainwashing that anybody can get.”
He quit his campaign amid outcry
and derision.
Some other overheard or off-thecuff gaffes:
—OBAMA AND THE RUSSIANS:
In March, an open microphone
caught Obama telling Russia’s outgo-

ing president that he needed space
to work out their disagreements
over U.S. missile defense plans. “After my election, I have more flexibility,” Obama quietly told Dmitry
Medvedev, who said he would carry
that message home. Romney called
it evidence that Obama is hiding a
secret agenda for a second term.
—OBAMA AND THE ISRAELIS:
A technology glitch allowed reporters to overhear Obama and French
President Nicolas Sarkozy last year
grousing about the difficulty of
dealing with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu. Sarkozy called
Netanyahu a “liar” and Obama responded sympathetically, “I have to
work with him every day.”
—KERRY AND THE WARS: A response to a question at a campaign
event tripped up 2004 Democratic
presidential nominee John Kerry.
Asked about a spending bill for the
Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Kerry
said, “I actually did vote for the $87
billion before I voted against it.” Republicans ridiculed the remark and
featured it in an ad showing a windsurfing Kerry zigzagging “whichever
way the wind blows.” Kerry later explained it as “one of those inarticulate moments.”
—CLINTON AND DRUGS: Bill
Clinton was mocked for acknowledging in a TV interview that he had
tried marijuana as a college student
but insisting that he “didn’t inhale.”
With character questions already
dogging his 1992 campaign, the remark increased complaints that he
was slick and evasive, but didn’t
keep him from winning the White
House.

Gayla Ruth (Harper) Truex

Gayla Ruth (Harper) Truex of Middle Island Creek
Road, St. Marys, W.Va., passed away at her home on
Thursday, September 18, 2012. She was born on Broad
Run in Pleasants County, WV on April 19, 1928, daughter
of the late Fred L. and Verna L. Carmichael Harper.
Gayla is survived by her husband of 66 years, Delno
Dean Truex. She and Delno began their life together on
April 8, 1946, in Catlettsburg, Kentucky at the First Christian Church.
They were blessed with four children, Teresa (Truex)
Craig and husband Henry of St. Marys, W.Va., Cheryl
(Truex) Carpenter and husband Spence of Racine, Ohio,
Michael D. Truex and wife Phoebe of Torrance, Ca., and
Malinda (Truex) Bussey and husband Brad of St. Marys,
W.Va.
Gayla loved her twelve grandchildren, Chad Craig, Beckie Barton and husband Butch, Michael Amos, John Amos
and wife Courtney, Elizabeth “Annie” LaMasters and husband Steve, James Carpenter and wife Christy, Jenny Harman and husband James, Jason Carpenter, Micah Truex,
Amie Phillips Pablo and husband Gregory, Brooks Ludwig
and Corbin Bussey. Gayla was also blessed with 19 great
grandchildren and 2 great-great grandchildren. Gayla
shared an enduring love with her sister, Dortha (Dotte)
White of St. Marys, W.Va. Gayla was an inspiration to her
seven nieces and nephews, Judy (How) Calvert, Steve
How, Scott Harper, Rob Harper, Bruce White, Fred White
and Max White. Special care and love was given by our
extended family, Yolanda Garcia, Maggie Templeton, Darlena Boley, Kayla Kiggins, Taci Carpenter, Susie Maston,
Lisa Beaty, Carol Davis, Linda Moore, and Sharon Taylor.
She was a graduate of St. Marys High School class of
1946, always the proud cheerleader her classmates knew
her as “Mom” and also nominated her for Alumnus of the
Year. Gayla was active in her community; she organized
the first Girl Scouts Day Camp Program, and was a 4-H
Leader and Camp Coordinator in Pleasants County. She
was employed by Gerber’s Grocery, Shouldis Department
Store, provided care for the many residents of Colin Anderson Center and was a “professional pie-baker” at the
T-Bone restaurant in St. Marys. Gayla had a loving devotion to her “family farm” and took pride in maintaining
the home and land, which enabled Delno to work away as
needed. She was a devout Christian and member of the
George Street Church of Christ, and was honored to carry
in a home baked pie for whatever the occasion required.
Gayla’s faith will enable her to be welcomed home by her
family, Etta “Betty” (Harper) How, Robert Harper and
their parents Fred and Verna.
Friends and family may gather from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m.,
Thursday, September 19, 2012, at Ingram Funeral Home
in St.Marys, W.Va. Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, September 20, 2012, at the George Street Church of
Christ with an hour of fellowship preceding. Gayla will be
laid to rest on the “family farm” on Middle Island Creek
Road following the service.
The women of the George Street Church of Christ will
graciously provide a reception for family and close friends
in the Fellowship Hall preceding the graveside service.
An on-line guest register is available at www.ingramfh.

Fewer students at
Ohio colleges
now on semesters
DAYTON, Ohio (AP)
— Enrollment at 17 Ohio
colleges and universities
that began using a semester schedule this fall has
dropped by nearly 13,500
students, which could be
a financial hit for schools
relying on revenue from
tuition.
One local newspaper
reports the academic
calendar shift is among
several factors affecting
decreased
enrollment.
Others include the smaller number of Ohio high
school graduates and eli-

French cartoons inflame prophet film tensions
PARIS (AP) — A French
magazine published vulgar
caricatures of the Prophet
Muhammad on Wednesday,
inflaming global tensions
over a movie insulting to Islam and prompting France
to step up security at embassies.
The move by provocative
weekly Charlie Hebdo followed days of violent protests from Asia to Africa
against the U.S.-produced
film “Innocence of Muslims,” and turned France
into a potential target, too.
Up to now, American government sites have drawn
the most ire.
Violence linked to the
amateurish movie, which
portrays the prophet as a
fraud, a womanizer and a
child molester, has killed

at least 30 people in seven
countries, including the
American ambassador to
Libya.
On Wednesday, several
hundred lawyers protesting
the movie forced their way
into an area in Pakistan’s
capital that houses the U.S.
Embassy and other foreign missions. The United
States temporarily closed
its consulate in an Indonesian city because of similar
demonstrations, and hundreds protested the film
in Sri Lanka’s capital and
burned effigies of President
Barack Obama.
The French government
ordered embassies and
schools abroad to close on
Friday, the Muslim holy day,
as a precautionary measure.
It ordered the immediate

closure of the French Embassy and the French school
in Tunisia, which saw deadly film-related protests at
the U.S. Embassy on Friday.
The French Foreign Ministry issued a travel warning Wednesday urging
French citizens in the Muslim world to exercise “the
greatest vigilance,” avoiding public gatherings and
“sensitive buildings” such
as those representing the
West or religious sites.
At the same time, the
country — which has western Europe’s largest Muslim
population — plunged into
new debate over the limits
to free speech in a modern
democracy.
France’s prime minister
said freedom of expression
is guaranteed, but cau-

tioned that it “should be exercised with responsibility
and respect.”
Foreign Minister Laurent
Fabius warned that Charlie
Hebdo could be throwing
“oil on the fire,” but said
it’s up to courts to decide
whether the magazine went
too far.
The magazine’s crude
cartoons played off the film
and ridiculed the violent reaction to it. Riot police took
up positions outside the offices of the magazine, which
was firebombed last year
after it released an edition
that mocked radical Islam.
Charlie Hebdo’s chief editor, who goes by the name
of Charb and has been under police protection for a
year, defended the cartoons.

gibility changes reducing
how many students get
federal Pell Grants.
The director of public
affairs for the Ohio Association of Community
Colleges says the initial
enrollment dip is typical
with a schedule switch.
The change makes it easier for students to transfer
among Ohio schools.
Among the newest semester schools, only Ohio
University and Cincinnati
State Technical and Community College didn’t lose
enrollment.

Wahama wins quad at Riverside
Staff Report

mdtsports@mydailytribune.com

MASON, W.Va. — The
weather at the Riverside
Golf Course was cool, damp
and windy when the quad
match between Wahama,
Federal Hocking, Miller
and River Valley began
Tuesday evening. However,
before the play 6, count 4
match was completed, the
sun appeared and the wind
stopped. It turned out to be
a cool, but pleasant evening
for the high school golfers.
The Wahama White Falcons finished on top with
a score of 174. The young
golfers from Miller made
it a close match finishing second with a score of
178. River Valley shot one

of their best scores of the
year, a 182, to finish third.
Federal Hocking, missing
2 members of their team ,
had to count all 4 available
scores and finished fourth
with a 204 total.
The White Falcon victories over Miller and Federal
Hocking were TVC Hocking Division matches. The
two wins gives Wahama
a 12-3 conference record
which is currently third in
the league. A Wahama win
on Thursday in the final
conference match of the
year against Eastern at the
Oxbow Golf Course and a
loss by Waterford against
Belpre would place Wahama and Waterford in a tie
for second in the year end
standings.

Wahama senior Samuel
Gordon led his team with
a 39 for the match. That
score also made Samuel
co-medalist for the contest.
Samuel was supported by
a score of 43 from Michael
Hendricks with Dakota Sisk
adding a 44. Michael Mac
Knight shot a 48 to account
for Wahama’s fourth score
that counted. Caroline
Thompson and Freshman
Kyle Sines also played for
Wahama.
The fast improving Miller team was led by Chris
Gamble who matched Samuel Gordon’s 39. Of course,
that score allowed Chris
to share medalist honors
with Samuel. Shaun Hayes
posted a 43 while Dakota
McGill shot 47 and Bran-

don Davis added the fourth
score that counted, a 49.
Austin Doughty and Tyler
Newman also played for the
Miller team.
Dan Goodrich shot a 41
for the best score from a
River Valley player. Jacob
Gilmore added a 45. Logan
Sheets posted a 47 with the
fourth score that counted
coming from Jordan Howell, a 49. Cliff Chapman and
Zach Morris also played for
the third place team.
The short-handed Federal Hocking team’s best
score was a 45 from Quinton Brooks. Shane Gillian
added a 51 with both T.J.
Clemons and Scott Gillian
posting identical scores of
54 each.

matchup at the Eagle’s Nest
in Meigs County.

The host Lady Eagles
(11-1, 7-0 TVC Hocking)

ways to persevere in each

Eastern to claim its 27th

extended their current win
streak to eight matches.

Here are a few of Stevens’ gems

— Bucyrus Wynford has the

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday,
Sept. 20, 2012:
This year you will waver between
different approaches. You could scrutinize a situation carefully, but the
determining factor for whether or not
you will take action depends on your
willingness to take a risk. Confusion
often hinders you. In a sense, you
might be trying too hard. If you are
single, you meet people with ease.
Decide what type of relationship you
want, and keep that in mind while dating. If you are attached, the two of you
enjoy time together, even if it’s just to
chat. You will love your nights alone at
home. SAGITTARIUS infuses energy
into nearly any situation.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH Do not sit on the same situation for too long. In fact, it would be
smart to act before something else
happens. Initiate interactions, and
demonstrate a deep understanding of
the forces at work. Confirm meeting
times in order to avoid a misunderstanding. Tonight: Break patterns.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH Reach out for a key
person in your life. You might not be
ready for some changes involving
someone at a distance or potential
plans for travel and/or education. An
unexpected insight requires you to
ask for some clarification. Tonight:
Someone presents offers.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHHHH Know what to do. Make
an effort to come to terms with a key
person. What you want comes to you
from out of left field. You might have to
make an adjustment, but make it your
pleasure to do so. Your positive attitude attracts more of what you want.
Tonight: Sort through invitations.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHH Pace yourself and listen to
what others share. A boss or higherup could cost you time and energy
because of his or her uncanny unpredictability. Your imagination helps
you gain a new perspective, and you
become less triggered as a result.
Tonight: Pace yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHHH Allow more fun to emerge,
even if you are in the office. The
unexpected occurs with communication. You might wonder which way you
want to head with a routine matter. A
meeting inspires you to change directions. Tonight: Consider starting your
weekend early.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHH Though you might feel like
you have been quite expressive as of
late, to many people, it will seem as
if you have become withdrawn. You
have had a lot to digest. You are trying to integrate new information and
might not be willing to share. Tonight:
Happily at home.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHHH Sometimes the best course
of action is to participate in communication and attempt to home in
on someone’s ideas. You might be
surprised by what you hear. A loved
one at a distance could be touched by
your efforts. Tonight: Spend time with
a friend.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHH Eye your finances with care.
You might need to have a conversation with a sibling or neighbor about a
recent expenditure. Your innate creativity will help you find the right solutions. A partner or associate is instrumental in this process. Tonight: Spend
time with a close friend or loved one.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You are more energized
than usual and could experience an
adrenaline surge at an unexpected
event. Your perspective might be more
helpful than you realize. A family member or roommate finally understands
where you are coming from. Tonight:
As you like.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHH You are very aware of undercurrents, and you sense quite a few of
them when dealing with others. Listen
to news and be open. A person in
your day-to-day life whom you are not
necessarily close to puts a smile on
your face. Tonight: Get some extra R
and R.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHHH Emphasize what is important, especially in a meeting. You will
have greater influence in that situation.
You might want to give a jolt to someone in order to have his or her defenses drop; however, by doing so, could
you be creating stronger defenses?
Tonight: Where your friends are.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHH Tension builds. You might see
stress build as a result of an unexpected financial glitch. You also might feel
pulled between two different interests.
Stay as neutral as possible and ride
the moment, as a surfer would a wave.
The end result will be better. Tonight:
Put your feet up.

Will Tressel and Clarett return for 2002 bash?
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
What’s brewing with the 2012
Ohio State Buckeyes …
BUCKEYES BUZZ: Ohio State
will commemorate its 2002 national championship when it hosts
Michigan on Nov. 24.
Players and coaches will be encouraged to return to campus to
honor the team that ended the
Buckeyes’ 34-year national title
drought in football.
Of course, there are a couple of
sticky questions. What about Jim
Tressel, head coach of that team,
who was forced out in May 2010
for knowing of potential NCAA
violations but not telling his su-

periors? Tressel’s actions (or,
inactions, since he sat on the information and continued to play
the players he knew were ineligible during the 2010 season) led
directly to this year’s team being
banned from a bowl.
Also, there’s Maurice Clarett. The Buckeyes would not
have won that title a decade ago
without him. But his outstanding performance in the desert
in Ohio State’s double-overtime
win over the Miami Hurricanes
is shrouded by the years since.
Clarett never played another
college game and was eventually hit with NCAA sanctions

for taking improper benefits. He
accused Ohio State of academic
fraud, sued to jump to the NFL
early, was cut when he finally
was drafted and subsequently
got into legal trouble that led to
years behind bars.
But Ohio State AD Gene Smith,
speaking on Columbus radio station
WBNS on Wednesday, said no one
from the 2002 team was “banned”
from returning for the 10-year anniversary celebration and that all
would be welcomed back.
Now, it appears, the next move
is up to Tressel and Clarett.
TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE:
An Ohio State home game used to

be the hottest ticket around. Not
anymore.
There were seats available all of
last season and that is again the
case this year. An Ohio State official told The Toledo Blade that
1,500 tickets remain on sale for
the Buckeyes’ game Saturday at
noon against 37-point underdog
UAB at Ohio Stadium.
Online ticket resale companies
had Ohio State tickets for half of
the $70 face value.
One longtime Buckeyes beat
writer joked online that this was
a “$5 game” — fans could walk
down the street an hour before the
game and pick up tickets for $5.

TRIVIA: Who are the two undefeated Big Ten teams who are
bowl eligible?
Answer: Minnesota and Northwestern, both 3-0.
SPEAKING OF WHICH: Here’s
this weekend’s Big Ten schedule:
Louisiana Tech (2-0) at Illinois (21), Central Michigan (1-1) at Iowa
(2-1), No. 18 Michigan (2-1) at
No. 11 Notre Dame (3-0), Eastern
Michigan (0-3) at No. 21 Michigan
State (2-1), Syracuse (1-2) at Minnesota (3-0), Idaho State (1-1) at
Nebraska (2-1), South Dakota (11) at Northwestern (3-0), Temple
(1-1) at Penn State (1-2) and
UTEP (0-2) at Wisconsin (2-1).

Chapman says
shoulder feels good
after BP session
CHICAGO (AP) — Cincinnati Reds closer Aroldis
Chapman said his fatigued

left shoulder “feels good”
after throwing a bullpen
session Wednesday.
Speaking through an interpreter, Chapman said he
likely needs two or three
more bullpens to work on
his command. The lefthander hasn’t pitched in a
game since Sept. 10. Chapman is 5-5 with a 1.60 ERA
and 35 saves in 40 chances
this season. He has 119
strikeouts in 67 2-3 innings
pitched.
Reds manager Dusty Baker was unavailable to elaborate on Chapman’s progress
because he left Wrigley
Field to get chest X-rays to
rule out pneumonia.
The first-place Reds lead
the NL Central by 11 games
over the St. Louis Cardinals and can clinch as early
as Thursday with a pair of

wins and St. Louis losses.
NHL lockout may
hit businesses, not
Ohio arena owner
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP)
— The ongoing National
Hockey League lockout
could hurt businesses
around the Blue Jackets’
home arena in Columbus,
but it’s not expected to
cost the county agency that
owns the building under a
deal arranged last year.
The Columbus Dispatch
reports canceled games
won’t cost local taxpayers
because the deal is structured so that revenue from
concessions, parking and
game tickets goes to the
team, not the public entities
involved. The plan allowing
the team to play at Nationwide Arena rent-free was

arranged to help the financially troubled Blue Jackets,
keep them in Columbus and
preserve economic activity
in the arena area.
A team spokesman says
not needing to pay rent improves the team’s financial
picture during this lockout
compared with eight years
ago, when the 2004-05 season was canceled.
Browns’ Fujita
to reschedule meeting
with Goodell
BEREA, Ohio (AP) —
Browns linebacker Scott
Fujita says he plans to reschedule his postponed
meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about
the Saints bounty scandal.
Fujita had planned to
speak with Goodell via a
video conference from a

Cleveland law office on
Tuesday, but the league
called it off because it
wanted a face-to-face meeting. Fujita said he received
an email Monday evening
requesting the in-person
meeting. Fujita was unable to travel to New York
because he’s still receiving
treatment on an injured left
knee.
Fujita said “we’ll figure
something out” and he’s
confident he will meet
in the near future with
Goodell. Fujita was initially
suspended three games for
his involvement in the payfor-hits program. However,
an appeals panel recently
overturned his suspension,
allowing the 33-year-old to
rejoin the Browns.
Fujita has maintained his
innocence since the scandal

surfaced in March.
Reds’ Baker heads
for X-rays to rule
out pneumonia
CHICAGO (AP) — Cincinnati Reds manager Dusty Baker left Wrigley Field in street
clothes more than two hours
before first pitch Wednesday
night to get chest X-rays to
“rule out pneumonia,” a Reds
spokesperson said.
It is unclear whether he
will be back in time to manage the game. Bench coach
Chris Speier would manager in Baker’s absence.
Cincinnati leads the NL
Central by 11 games over
the St. Louis Cardinals and
can clinch the division as
early as Thursday with a
pair of wins and Cardinals
losses.
