Talking annexation
Kenton Law Director John Schwemer is one
of several city and county officials who
explained the pros and cons of annexation of
the Letson Subdivision into Kenton at a meeting Tuesday night. The annexation is considered the best option by the officials to pending
orders from the OEPA in addressing sewer
issues in the area.
Officials explain sewer
plan to Buck residents
By DAN ROBINSON
Times staff writer
The owners of most of the
33 properties in the Letson
Subdivision
of
Buck
Township met Tuesday night
with Hardin County and
Kenton city officials to get
more information on the proposed annexation of the area
into the city.
Letson Subdivision is a triangle-shape section of Buck
Township which is bordered
by Fairground Road, U.S. 68
and Harris Street on the
southern edge of Kenton. In
December 2010, the Ohio
Environmental
Protection
Agency reported raw sewage
coming from a drain at the
bridge of U.S. 68 south of the
triangle.
Ryan Gierhart, environmental specialist with the
OEPA, said during the meeting the pollution from the
drain tested at eight times the
allowable rate for e-coli.
Further testing determined
the pollution was coming
from the subdivision and EPA
told the county commissioners they would be legally
responsible for addressing
the problems.
A group of county and city
officials considered a variety
of options to bring sewage
service to the residents at the
most affordable cost. A sewer
district
was
considered,
which would have taken the
sewage to Kenton for treatment, but the best option,
they agreed, was for the area
to be a part of the city of
Kenton through annexation.
In order for that to happen,
the majority of the property
owners had to agree to the
change. Tuesday night the
officials presented the first of
two meetings meant to share
the results of their work with
the public.
There are pros and cons of
annexing
into
Kenton,
Prosecutor Brad Bailey told
the 30 residents who attended the session. As citizens of
Kenton, he continued, the
residents will pay lower water
and sewer rates than what
they are currently billed, but
they will also pay city taxes.
The plan, said Bailey, is for
the county engineer's office to
construct a sewer line
through the areas which were
used for alleys before the
township
closed
them.
Easements from the property
owners will need to be
secured for the work to go forward on the former alleys to
avoid higher prices for cutting
into the streets, said the
prosecutor.
If the entire process goes
as planned, said Bailey, and
there are no contentious lawsuits bringing up the costs,
the line is expected to be
installed for about $140,000.
The work is expected to be
funded through a zero-interest loan from the Ohio Public
Works Commission, said
County Engineer Mike Smith.
The loan would be spread
over payments of 20 to 30
years, he said.
A preliminary repayment
schedule developed for the
loan shows each property
being assessed a $600 flat
fee, along with a usage
assessment. Most of the construction bills are anticipated
to run about $3,000, which is
payable through annual tax
assessments over the 20
years of the loan.
In addition to paying for
the cost of the project, said
Smith, residents would also
be responsible for paying private contractors to connect
individual homes and businesses to the new line. That
cost is expected to average
$1,000 per property, he said.

Health board OKs final test
on woman’s sewage system
By TIM THOMAS
Times editor
The Kenton-Hardin Board
of Health, at its meeting
Tuesday
night,
ordered
another test of a rural
Dunkirk home's sewage system to see if sewage is being
discharged into a creek.
Crystal McKean, of County
Road 130, said she believes
her system has been fixed and
challenged the tests conducted by Sanitarian Gary Shields
showing there is a discharge.
She is in the middle of a
60-day order from the health
board to get her sewage system fixed.
McKean claimed a neighboring farmer had run over
her tile and also said the
county's widening of her road
contributed to the problem.
But she said the neighbor laid
all new tile so she thought the
problem had been resolved.
She showed the board
members information from
Bluffton Aeration showing her
septic system had been
pumped out in June and no
problems were detected.
McKean questioned the
reliability of a dye test of her
system conducted by Shields.
Shields, who is on vacation, was not at the meeting to
defend himself or his tests.
But
Director
of
Environmental
Services
Shane Lotts said Shields'
samples show sewage is coming from the house.
Lotts said McKean failed to
follow
through
on
a
Community
Housing
Improvement Program (CHIP)
grant which would have paid
for a new septic system.
McKean claimed she submitted information for the grant
but never heard back from the
program.
But the health board opted
to give her one more chance.
President Kevin Ridgeway
instructed Lotts to do another
dye test on the system.
"I wholeheartedly disagree
with this," Lotts said.
"Do your best to get it done
as quick as you can," said
board member Mark Rush.
"I think this contradicts
your order (to get the system
fixed) from last month," Lotts
countered.
But board member Jeryl
Kissling said the board is
responding to new information presented by McKean.
"We're the public's advocate,
too," she said.
Lotts said he will conduct
another dye test and take
along a witness. "If that dye
shows up, it's a failure," he
said.
In the meantime, the 60day clock is continuing to tick
for McKean to make repairs.
Ridgeway told her to contact
CHIP officials in the morning
to see if she can get a grant.
"We're not dragging this
out, I'll tell you that right
now," Ridgeway said. He said
he wants the system fixed
before winter weather arrives.
Also at the meeting, nurse
Mindy Hensel said plans are
set for the Drive Thru Flu
Clinic. It will be conducted
from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday
at
the
Hardin
County
Fairgrounds. Motorists can
enter through the main
entrance and they will receive
registration information. They
will not need to leave their
vehicle as staff will handle all
forms and administer the vaccine.
The cost is $25 per dose. A
high dose for those age 65
and older is $45. The department also will offer an intradermal (giving the vaccine
using a very small needle) for
$30. Cash, check, Medicare
and Medicaid will be accepted.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP)
— President Barack Obama
has opened a double-digit
lead
over
former
Massachusetts Gov. Mitt
Romney in two of the nation’s
three largest swing states in a
poll released Wednesday.
With Election Day less
than six weeks away, Obama
received more than 50 percent support in Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Florida in a random
telephone survey of likely voters taken Sept. 18-24. He has
held smaller leads in those
states in earlier polls.
Obama, who enjoys a huge
advantage among women,
minorities and young voters,
led his Republican challenger
54 percent to 42 percent in
Pennsylvania, 53 percent to
43 percent in Ohio and 53
percent to 44 percent in
Florida, the biggest prize of
the three with 29 electoral
votes. The poll by Quinnipiac
(Conn.) University, CBS News
and the New York Times had
a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points in Florida and
2.9 percentage points in Ohio
and Pennsylvania.
No one has won the White
House since John F. Kennedy
in 1960 without winning at
least two of the three key battleground states.
The president did better
with voters on nearly every
issue, including the ability to
handle the economy, which
was the top concern for voters
in all three states.
“For the first time in the
entire campaign, he is seen as
better able to fix the economy,” said Peter Brown, assistant director for Quinnipiac.
Brown noted that the poll
almost certainly reflected
damage to Romney’s effort
from a secretly recorded
statement that 47 percent of
Americans believe they are
victims and that government
has a responsibility to care
for them. In all three states,
more than half the respondents said they believed
Romney’s policies favored the
wealthy.
Romney, however, had a
slight edge with voters when
asked who was better suited
to deal with the budget
deficit.
No more fires
Brown said the presidential debates in October may
be Romney’s last chance to
reverse his slide.
The poll also showed the
Democratic incumbents seeking to retain their U.S. Senate
seats in each state were running ahead of their GOP challengers. Bill Nelson led U.S.
Rep. Connie Mack IV by 14
percentage points, 53-39, in
Florida; Sherrod Brown led
Ohio state treasurer Josh
Mandel 50 percent to 40 percent and Robert Casey Jr. led
businessman Tom Smith 4943 in Pennsylvania.
Ohio voters approved of
Republican
Gov. John
Kasich’s job performance, 48
percent to 35 percent, but
two other Republican governors,
Tom
Corbett
in
Pennsylvania and Rick Scott
in Florida, were upside down
with voters in their states.
Pennsylvania voters disapproved of Corbett’s performance 47 percent to 36 percent
while 48 percent of Floridians
disapproved of Scott’s handling of his office compared to
38 percent who approved.

Kenton firefighter Rick Cramer (third from

1/2 years service to the department by (from

Service Director Jim Hites and Chief Russ Blue.
Born into firefighter life,
Cramer retires from KFD
By TY THAXTON
Times staff writer
Kenton firefighter Rick
Cramer said putting up his
helmet, fire suit and boots for
the last time wasn’t something
he was looking forward to.
Fighting fires is what he’s
always loved and will truly
miss.
“You just can’t explain it to
someone who doesn’t do it,”
Cramer said.
He recently retired from the
department after a career than
spanned 33 1/2 years.
Cramer grew up around the
firefighter life with his father,
Jack, who was a firefighter of
49 years.
“I always knew that’s what I
was going to do,” he said.
Some of his more memorable times were getting the
chance to work with his father,
as well as his son, Anthony, for
a time.
But even with a firefighter
as a father, he didn’t fall into
the fire-chasing life with ease.
According to Cramer, he
worked hard and took several
tests in the area before finally
becoming a firefighter.
He was 25 when he began
putting out fires. When he
started, air tanks were 23
pounds. Now, he said, they’re
down to just eight pounds. But
even with the reduced weight
and less strain on the body,
Cramer said he doesn’t feel
that prolonged his career any.
“I’d still be fighting fires
regardless,” Cramer said.
But the air tanks are an
absolute essential, he said,
especially now that fires have
gotten hotter and the smoke
has gotten thicker compared
to when he first started.
Cramer recalled a couple of
memorable instances while on
the scene of fires, including
once when he got trapped in a
house, and another time when
he fell off a roof.
But neither of those
instances can compare to one
memory that Cramer said will
always haunt him, one in
which a young boy was killed
in an accident on Lima Street
in Kenton.
“You never look into someone’s eyes when you’re dealing
with victims, and I made the
mistake of looking into their
eyes,” he said. “That will
always stay with me.”
Cramer has been involved
in four fatal fires in his time as
a firefighter. One thing he realized while on the job was the
gravity of the decisions he
made on the scene of a fire and
how less stressful it made
other tough situations in life
feel.
“What I’ve learned is to not
sweat the small stuff,” Cramer
said. “The decisions I make at
a fire, if I make the wrong decision, somebody doesn’t come
home. That’s a real tough situation.”
Cramer has shared many of
those tough situations with his
fellow firefighters over the
years, and said the fellowship
with them, whether it was at
the firehouse or on the scene,
is something he’ll miss very
much.
“You spend 24 hours with
these guys, you really get to
know them. Then you meet
their families and get to know
them, too,” he said. “That’s
probably one of the things I’m
going to miss the most is the
camaraderie with all the guys.”
Kenton firefighters will likely see Cramer from time to
time as he said he’ll stop in
occasionally and pay them a
visit.
“But then you’ll have these
younger guys who’ll think,
‘What’s this old guy doing
around here?’,” he joked.
Most see health law being implemented
WASHINGTON (AP) — They
may not like it, but they don’t
see it going away. About 7 in
10 Americans think President
Barack Obama’s health care
law will go fully into effect
with some changes, ranging
from minor to major alterations, an Associated PressGfK poll finds.
Just 12 percent say they
expect the Affordable Care
Act — “Obamacare” to dismissive opponents — to be
repealed completely.

Romney, Obama
descend on Ohio
By KASIE HUNT and
JOSH LEDERMAN
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) —
President Barack Obama
and Republican Mitt Romney
are pitching to college students and working-class voters in Ohio less than a week
before early voting kicks off
in this critical Midwestern
state.
Fresh off a high-stakes
address before world leaders
at the United Nations,
Obama is set to address rallies Wednesday at two state
universities, hoping to generate the kind of enthusiasm
among young voters that
helped fuel his victory four
years ago. Romney plans
three stops in major metropolitan areas of the state as
part of a bus tour geared
toward drawing a contrast
with Obama on middle-class
economic issues.
Both candidates recognize
how critical Ohio’s 18 electoral votes will be this fall.
Losing here would dramatically narrow Romney’s paths
to the 270 electoral college
votes required to win the
White House — and no
Republican has ever lost
Ohio and won the presidency.
The state has become a
main focal point for the two
candidates on the airwaves,
with even more TV ads airing
here than in expansive
Florida. And with early voting set to begin in Ohio on
Oct. 2, time is running out
for Romney and Obama to
make their cases to maximum effect.
The candidates exchanged
barbs Tuesday over trade
policies with China, an
implicit struggle for votes
from working-class voters
whose livelihoods have been
affected by competition from
Chinese manufacturers.
“When people cheat, that
kills jobs,” Romney said at a
rally Tuesday afternoon in
Vandalia,
near
Dayton.
“China has cheated. I will
not allow that to continue.”
In a statement, Obama
campaign spokeswoman Ben
LaBolt criticized Romney’s
own investments in Chinese
companies. “How can we
trust Mitt Romney to stand
up to China when he profits
from China breaking the
rules?” he said in a statement.
Buoyed by signs of an
improving economy, Obama
has the edge in Ohio six
weeks out from Election Day.
The president has led
Romney in a series of recent
polls in the state, with a
Washington Post poll on
Tuesday showing Obama
with a lead that was outside
the poll’s margin of error.
Even on handling of the
economy, where Romney
until recently has had an
advantage,
Obama
now
leads.
For Romney, Ohio was
already fraught because of
the state’s better-than-average economy. The jobless
rate in Ohio stands at 7.2
percent — almost a full percentage point lower than the
national average. Romney
and other Republicans credit
Ohio’s Republican governor,
John Kasich, but the good
news undermines Romney’s
pitch that Obama’s policies
aren’t working.
Obama’s
visit
on
Wednesday marks his 13th
trip to Ohio so far this year,
his campaign said. And as
Romney was making his way
to Ohio on Tuesday, Obama
unveiled a new campaign ad
titled “Fair Share” that seeks
to
remind
voters
that
Romney paid a lower tax rate
in 2011 — just over 14 percent — than many middleclass families. The ad will air
in Ohio and seven other
competitive states.
Romney has visited the
state 10 times since May 1,
his campaign said, with an
additional seven visits during the primary campaign.
The Republican campaign is
airing ads in Ohio that
accuse Obama of not being
tough enough on China’s
protection of its exporters.
The state’s automobile
and manufacturing industries compete with their
Chinese peers, leading to
widespread resentment over
perceived trade transgressions by Chinese companies
and their government. The
issue has emerged as a central theme in House races, as
well as in the state’s competitive Senate race.
Democrats, hoping to
neutralize Romney’s Ohio
swing with a bus tour of
their own, worked to keep
alive comments Romney
made in a secretly recorded
video a sbout how almost
half of Americans see themselves as victims and are
unwilling to take responsibility for their lives. They also
dispatched former Ohio Gov.
Ted Strickland to make the
case that Romney is “writing
off the middle class.”

DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — A
newspaper analysis shows
that tens of thousands of
Ohioans left the welfare rolls
this year, putting enrollment
at its lowest point since the
benefit for the poor was
reformed in the 1990s.
But the drop doesn’t necessarily reflect an improving
economy.
The Dayton Daily News
analysis found that the largest
single reason people left the
welfare rolls is because officials are taking a harder
stance on requiring people to
perform work activities as
required under law. That
includes work, community
service or job training for at
least 30 hours a week.
The work requirement
became an election-year issue
when Republicans accused
President Barack Obama of
dropping the work requirements for welfare.
“The work requirement in
Ohio is laid out both in federal
law and in state law and those
have not changed,” Ohio
Department of Job and Family
Services spokesman Ben
Johnson told the newspaper.
“The only difference is Ohio is
actually doing it.”
The size of the welfare program in Ohio peaked at $47
million in June 2010, when
105,098 households received
an extra $100 check with help
from the federal stimulus program.
In the 12 months ending in
July, the number of Ohio
households receiving welfare
and cash paid out dropped by
20 percent. There were 73,451
Ohio households in the program in July.
The state is under pressure
to get at least half of all ablebodied adults receiving assistance into a work activity or it
could face $135 million in
penalties from the federal government. The state met that
requirement for the first time
in July.

Republican Party is here to
serve our community 365
days per year, not for a few
weeks to solicit votes,” he
said.
To help Hardin County
voters, the Republican headquarters will be open daily
from Oct. 2 through the election: Mondays - Fridays from
10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on
Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m. People can visit the
headquarters to pick up campaign literature, yard signs
and to learn more about
Republican candidates.

Stevens may have
loved Libya too much
WASHINGTON -- The main
topic of conversation around
Washington these last two
weeks has not been about
either of the presidential candidates, but about an
American ambassador, a
charming diplomat whose
destiny should have been so
very different from the one
that finally met him. It's a
tragic tale. Maybe you should
drop off now.
But
the
story
of
Ambassador
Christopher
Stevens in Benghazi on Sept.
11 is more than a tale told by
madmen. It rings with the
singular mourning that has
swept unusual portions of
the world following this fine
young man's death. It is also
a tale filled with many lessons, which we SAY, oh yes,
we are certainly going to
learn this time.
First and foremost, it was
strange that the new ambassador should have left the
well-guarded U.S. Embassy
in the Libyan capital of
Tripoli and traveled on this
bedeviled date with only minimal security to that barren
desert country's second city
of Benghazi.
Second, it seemed strange
that people were ranging
around the U.S. Consulate in
Benghazi at 9:30 in the
evening, in a city where they
had to know full well that
there were wildcat militias,
many of them radically antiAmerican. As recently as
June 11, a rocket-propelled
grenade had hit a convoy in
Benghazi carrying London's
ambassador to Libya, after
which Britain closed its consulate there.
Third, in the days before
the attack on Ambassador
Stevens -- before the 11th
anniversary of 9/11 -- intelligence agencies had issued
another annual warning to
beware of heightened security risks. Small changes were
made in the Libyan protection of the embassy itself, but
almost no changes in the
protection to the consulate in
Benghazi.
So, as the dramatists of
old would intone, "the stage
was set."
We know now the tragic
Georgie
Anne
Geyer
Syndicated
columnist
playing out of events. The
ambassador, the other diplomats and several guards stationed there were in the consulate when first shouts and
then gunshots rent the air.
This was followed by the mob
setting the building on fire,
with choking black smoke
encompassing everything.
At this writing, it is still
unclear whether those first
attacks came from angry
mobs, perhaps upset by the
9/11 anniversary or perhaps
by the recent vulgar film on
Muhammad, or by radical
militias of the al-Qaida style.
That may never be known.
But it is known that the
ambassador fled to a supposedly safer room, where,
unable to get out, he died of
smoke inhalation.
Now, why would a man
like this, considered a knowledgeable, practicing diplomat, apparently beloved of
just about everyone, take
such a chance on such a day
filled with premonition?
Many reasons are being put
forward, but my experience
of 48 years working in the
foreign field would indicate to
me that Stevens felt, obviously far too comfortably, that he
was among friends and
therefore invulnerable.
He had, for instance, been
sent by the State Department
during the Libyan civil war of
the last two years as the
American "connection" to the
rebels in Benghazi. By all
accounts, they got along
swimmingly. The non-radical
rebels loved him, and he felt
he had finally found his place
in the world. (An idealist,
Stevens had started out as a
member of the Peace Corps
in Morocco and loved the
Middle East.)
When the civil war was
over and he was sent back to
Libya as ambassador -- what
a wonderful triumph! -- he
would likely assume that he
was among friends. His people had won. Especially in
Benghazi.
I have seen this happen
often in the foreign field, with
diplomats who get too close
to their foreign "people" and
forget that enemies remain;
the same happens with journalists. I may have indulged
in it a bit myself, but at least
I'm still alive.
The lack of basic weaponry and protection is more difficult to figure. There was, by
all reports, no firefighting
equipment in the consulate.
Had there been even smokeprevention masks and fire
extinguishers, especially in
the halfway-protected room
Stevens died in, he may well
have lived.
And did his military companions carry guns? Did they
have any escape plans, just
for day-to-day problems,
from the consulate? It seems
not. It is also reported that
the Libyan guards who finally arrived on the site took the
survivors
to
a
secret
American
"safe
house."
Either the attackers knew
about it or just followed the
Libyan caravan there -- no
longer a safe house, either.
All of this is strange, if
only because, in the last 20
years or so, our embassies all
over the world have become
fortified camps. Several years
ago, I was in Kampala,
Uganda, in Central Africa,
and my taxi pulled up near
the
American
Embassy,
where I had an appointment.
The driver stopped a good
300 yards away and would
not move.
"It scares me," he said,
staring at the frightening fortifications.
"It scares me, too," I
agreed.
In the days after the
ambassador's death, the people of Benghazi attacked the
militias and destroyed their
havens. Ambassador Stevens
may be dead, but his memory will never be.

The worst campaign ever?
It's time to start worrying

Mitt
Romney.
Seriously. The guy may just
be running the worst campaign ever. And yes, that
includes the McDLT, print

to mention McCain/Palin in
'08. Which currently holds
the gold standard for lousy
campaigns. Sure to be a Hall
of Fame inductee in a couple

And every time the former
Governor of Massachusetts
opens his mouth, it gets
worse. He's tone deaf, tongue
tied, logically challenged and
as approachable as a nearsighted porcupine in heat.
The Anti Ray Romano -Nobody Loves Mitt.
So uncomfortable around
real people, you can practically hear him whisper "icky,
icky, icky," under his breath
while shaking hands at rallies. You know there's an aide
with a bottle of hand sanitizer
waiting for him on the bus.
Maybe even a 55-gallon drum
connected to a shower head.
Got caught on a secret
video calling 47 percent of
those real people moochers
and malingerers. Shirking,
entitled victims dependent on
the government for food.
Food. Mmmm. That's us.
Just can't get enough of that
government cheese. You
know what this country
needs? A good five-cent government cracker.
The impression is that, 1:
he was pandering to his rich
donor buddies or, 2: the
poster child for the 1 percent
really believes what he said.
Either way -- awkward! And
that massive pounding sound
you hear is a herd of stampeding elephants running
away from what they fear
might be contagious.
Said he wouldn't concern
himself with that 47 percent,
which depresses his most
ardent supporters, because
"Hell, that's more than half!"
One major problem with
insulting 47 percent of the
American public is that at
least 58 percent of them
worry that you think they're
part of that 47 percent, and
you know 112 percent of
America believes that. They
do. Bet you $10,000.
The
video's
release
obscured the Romney campaign's much-ballyhooed new
design to sharpen its message. Would have been interesting to see how many
truckloads of flint they were
going to use to try and put an
edge on that much smoke.
Honing fog.
His own staffer warned us.
The Etch-a-Sketch has been
turned upside down. Prepare
to be shaken. Problem is, you
keep rebooting something as
stiff as Mitt and it starts
short-circuiting all over the
place. Romney 8.0. Better
than Romney 7.0. Now with
Desperation.
Maybe it's the extra-large
silver spoon in his mouth
that keeps him from seeing
the view from the middle
class. Can't understand why
they don't pull themselves up
by the bootstraps like he did
when his daddy loaned him
his first million.
With the debates still to
come, there's time to turn
this race around. But this far
in, it's like turning the
Titanic. After hitting the iceberg. And the helm is underwater. Face it, if Bain Capital
were running Mitt's campaign
right now, they'd close it
down, fire him and hire some
Chinese guy to do it better
and cheaper.

Swinger may need divorce
DEAR ABBY: I have been
married for 10 years. Early
in our marriage my husband
talked about wanting to try
swinging. We did, and had
many enjoyable experiences.
Two years ago he decided
he no longer wanted to be in
the lifestyle, so we stopped.
The problem is, I miss it very
much. I want to get back into
it and have talked with him
about it, but he insists we
stay out of it. I am torn
between going to parties
behind his back, suffering
my displeasure in silence
because I'm not able to do
something I really enjoyed,
or divorcing. Can you help
me figure this out? -- FOXY
IN PHOENIX
DEAR FOXY: Let's review
your options as a process of
elimination. I don't recommend that you do anything
behind your husband's back
because, at some point, what
you're doing is sure to come
out. I also do not recommend
suffering in silence because
sooner or later your unhappiness will become apparent.
That leaves the option of
divorce. Because you and
your husband no longer see
eye to eye on the issue of
marital fidelity and he wants
a wife who will "cleave" unto
him only, it makes sense to
go your separate ways so
both of your needs can be
met.

DEAR ABBY: The other
day when I went jogging, I
met a guy just as I stopped to
take a water break. He started flirting and I was too tired
to tell him to leave, so I
decided to humor him until I
cooled down enough to
resume my jog.
He asked me basic questions trying to get to know
Jeanne
Phillips
Syndicated
columnist
me, and when I told him I
was a college student, he
asked for my GPA. When I
told him it was none of his
business, he laughed and
asked what my problem was.
He said no one else had complained when he asked, and
he didn't mean to pry. I still
felt he was being rude, so I
said goodbye and jogged off
before he could say anything.
Abby, I wasn't trying to
hide a low GPA, but I don't
think it's something to tell
people in a first meeting. Is it
normal for people to ask others what their GPA is -- especially if they just met? -- COED IN BOSTON
DEAR
CO-ED:
When
someone says he or she is a
student, the question that
usually follows is, "Where are
you studying?" or "What's
your major?" It's not, "What's
your GPA?" which seems like
a not-so-subtle way of asking
whether you're a good student or not. His attempt to
make
conversation
was
clumsy -- and because he
said the question is one he
asks routinely, let's hope he
learns from his encounter
with you and scratches it off
his list of pickup lines.

DEAR ABBY: I have an
issue I'd like your opinion
on. What should the Tooth
Fairy do with baby teeth
after collecting them? She
stopped coming to our house
years ago, but the baby teeth
have been dutifully saved -every one of them -- in a jar
where the Tooth Fairy left
them.
I thought I was unique in
this predicament, but found
out that a sister-in-law had
the same dilemma. Our kids
are adults now, but I don't
know what I should or could
do with these little keepsakes
of a beautiful boy who stole
my heart the minute I looked
into his eyes. -- ALWAYS HIS
MOM
DEAR MOM: Let's see ...
You could have them mounted and display them on a
charm bracelet. You could
offer to sell them back to
your son. Or, you could place
them in an envelope and put
them in a box with the curl
from his first haircut and a
pair of his baby shoes. One
day I'm sure he'll be touched.

State funding based on
college performance lauded
By The Associated Press
Excerpts of recent editorials of statewide and national
interest from Ohio newspapers:
–––––
The Columbus Dispatch,
Sept. 24
Giving state funding to
colleges based on their performance makes more sense
than doling out money mainly based on the number of
students they enroll. That’s
the governor’s newest idea,
and college leaders have
been asked to come up with
such a formula this fall.
Early this year, Gov. John
Kasich asked Ohio’s 37 public universities and colleges
to agree on one statewide
“wish list” for how to spend
$350 million in state funding
for campus construction and
other improvements. The
colleges worked together and
carried out his request.
Seeing a “real spirit of
teamwork” on that task, now
the governor has asked colleges to figure out a better
way to divide up $2.4 billion
in state operating money for
higher education.
He convened another
group, headed once again by
Ohio
State
University
President E. Gordon Gee, to
create a funding formula
that gives the public universities a financial incentive to
improve. Kasich gave them
plenty of leeway, but said he
would prefer success to be
defined as better retention of
students from one year to
the next, a higher graduation
rate and good careers for
graduates....
If the finished plan lives
up to that promise, it would
be a major improvement over
the current system.
–––––
The (Toledo) Blade, Sept.
24
The scheme by the federal
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms, and Explosives to
track the movement of guns
from their sale in the United
States into the hands of
Mexican drug dealers was
just as misguided and mismanaged as it seemed. The
best report the nation is likely to see about the scandal
confirms this view.
The first attempt at prying
open the secrets of the scandal came through a partisan
investigation in Congress led
by Rep. Darrell Issa, a
Republican from California.
Attorney General Eric Holder
resisted handing over all the
documents
requested.
Republicans
took
the
unprecedented step of finding him in civil and criminal
contempt of Congress.
Political grandstanding
aside, the program called
Operation Fast and Furious
was a fiasco. The major
result of the “gun walking”
program was that the ATF
lost track of about 2,000
high-powered weapons sold
in Phoenix-area gun stores.
Although
Fast
and
Furious did lead to charges
against 20 gun traffickers, it
didn’t stop the flood of guns
across the border — and it
contributed to the arming of
the worst types of criminals....
Last week, the long-awaited report by the Justice
Department inspector general came out in great detail....
This report is a strong,
cautionary tale about what
can happen when, in its
words, “a series of misguided
strategies, tactics, errors in
judgment, and management
failures” put public safety at
risk.

Gusty winds could push
deadly California wildfire
CAMPO, Calif. (AP) — A fire
that burned 11 homes and
killed an elderly man who
refused to evacuate was smoldering in rural San Diego
County on Tuesday, but gusty
afternoon winds could push it
back to life, authorities said.
Nearly 1,000 firefighters
planned an all-out effort to surround the blaze, which continued to threaten nearly a dozen
homes and 14 outbuildings in
the rural community of Tierra
del Sol near the U.S.-Mexican
border, said fire spokesman
Andy Menshek. Residents of
two other small communities
were allowed to return home
earlier.
An evacuation order was lifted Tuesday afternoon for about
80 residents.
“That is the one remaining
evacuated area,” Menshek said.
“That’s our highest priority
today ... we have propane
tanks, downed power lines and
a lot of hotspots to mop up.”
The fire, which has burned
nearly 4 1/2 square miles of
hilly brush land since Sunday,
was 55 percent contained.
Although no active flame
was showing, winds began
picking up Tuesday morning
and gusts of up to 40 mph
could hit in the afternoon,
Menshek said.
“If we get one ember over the
line, the fire could take off,” he
said.
On Monday, the body of an
elderly man was retrieved from
a burned home in Tierra del
Sol. Neighbors reported the
man missing when they saw his
only vehicle parked at the
home, authorities said.
San Diego County coroner’s
officials said Tuesday the man
is believed to be a 69-year-old
resident but they still haven’t
identified the victim and have
yet to perform an examination.
Neighbors had previously
told U-T San Diego that the
man was 82 and had one leg.
Reverse 911 calls notifying
homeowners of the evacuation
order were made by the county
sheriff’s department. Neighbors
said the man decided to
remain.
“He felt that he was going to
be OK if he stayed,” sheriff’s Lt.
Rose Kurupas told the newspa-
per.
“He chose to stay and that’s
sad,” Menshek said. “That’s
why we issue these evacuations.”
Other blazes in the West
remained active, blanketing
some communities in eastern
Washington state with smoke.
The air quality in many
Wenatchee and Cashmere
areas was deemed either “hazardous” or “unhealthy” by state
officials.
Authorities there updated
the sizes of two of the state’s
largest fires after more accurate
mapping and burnouts to create fire lines, officials said. The
Wenatchee complex of fires was
reported at 82 square miles,
while the Table Mountain fire
had burned nearly 57 square
miles.
Crews also gained ground on
a 5 1/2-square-mile fire in
Montana’s Musselshell County,
allowing residents to return to
about 50 homes southeast of
Roundup. That blaze was
human-caused and under
investigation.

Engineer Corps let off the
hook for Katrina flooding
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A
surprise ruling by a federal
appeals court that lets the
Army Corps of Engineers off
the hook for paying compensation
for
Hurricane
Katrina’s catastrophic flooding isn’t going over well on
the streets of New Orleans.
People
in
southern
Louisiana have long taken
for granted that the flooding
in the wake of the 2005
storm was a manmade disaster — one caused specifically by the corps — and
they have wanted the agency
to pay up for lost homes and
property.
But on Monday, a threejudge panel of the 5th
Circuit Court of Appeals
reversed its earlier opinion
and shot down the only
argument that had succeeded so far in holding the
corps accountable. The ruling also could make it
extremely difficult to force
the government to pay damages for future mishaps.
In March, the appellate
court panel upheld a 2009
ruling by U.S. District Judge
Stanwood Duval that had
found the corps liable for the
flooding of New Orleans’
Lower 9th Ward neighborhood and St. Bernard Parish
because the agency failed to
properly maintain a shipping channel. That channel,
dug in the 1960s, funneled
Katrina’s storm surge into
the city. Thousands of
homes
were
destroyed,
about 1,400 people died in
the flood and much of the
city was left under water.
Then on Monday, the
same panel did a legal backflip and said its new ruling
“completely insulates the
government from liability,”
leaving lawyers and residents baffled.
“There are certain criteria
where the federal government can be sued, and I
think the levee breaches is a
perfect example because the
Corps of Engineers is the
one that developed the levee
system,” said Alvin Alexis,
62, who had two female
cousins die in the flood.
His home was flooded,
and he moved his family
across the Mississippi River
to an area he considers
safer. Because he was a
renter, he said he got only
$10,000 in federal aid.
In the Lower 9th Ward,
one of the areas hit hardest
by
Katrina,
restaurant
owner Henry Holmes said he
was disappointed. He said
he has struggled to keep his
restaurant open in an area
that is now a mere shell of
what it was before the
storm.
“I feel like somebody
should be held liable,”
Holmes said.
Neither Holmes nor Alexis
were plaintiffs.
Despite the tens of billions of dollars in reconstruction money spent so far
in New Orleans, some
500,000 people, businesses
and government agencies
have sought additional compensation by filing claims
against the corps.
But federal laws grant the
corps extensive immunity
against flood-related lawsuits and give the government lots of leeway in how
agencies conduct their business.
The small army of lawyers
fighting the corps over
Katrina has long lamented
how difficult it is to take on
the federal government, a
fact reinforced by Monday’s
ruling.
“It’s a Herculean task,”
said Pierce O’Donnell, a lead
attorney in the case. “The
government makes the laws
— they created the immunity; it prints the money —
they have unlimited funds;
and the case is tried in a
building called the U.S.
courthouse.”
Under federal law, the
government cannot be sued
over actions that were based
“on considerations of public
policy,” the appeals panel
wrote. The corps’ decisions
regarding
the
shipping
channel fall under that protection, the judges wrote.
Specifically, the ruling
dealt with allegations that
the Army Corps let a shipping channel called the
Mississippi
River -Gulf
Outlet erode wetlands and
swamp forests southeast of
New Orleans. The channel
was built as a short-cut
between New Orleans and
the Gulf of Mexico, but the
economic benefits never
paid off, and only a few
ships used it before Katrina.
The corps poorly maintained the channel known
locally as “Mister Go,” and
the erosion and other dam-
age has been called one of
the nation’s worst environmental disasters by some.
Scientists
have
blamed
Mister Go on the loss of
about 18,000 acres of marsh
and 1,500 acres of cypress
swamps.
Wetlands are considered a
crucial natural buffer to
hurricanes, acting as a
buffer that can help keep
floodwaters
at
bay.
Attorneys have argued the
MRGO became a “hurricane
highway”
that
funneled
water into New Orleans and
overwhelmed
the
city’s
floodwalls, though the government has said the floodwalls would have failed even
if the waterway had never
been dug.
The Justice Department
and
the
Army
Corps
declined
to
comment
Tuesday.
O’Donnell said he was
disappointed by the panel’s
about-face, which leaves
about 100,000 claims related to Katrina in limbo. On
average, each claimant had
expected to get about
$140,000 in damages to
cover property losses and
other expenses and inconvenience caused by the
flooding.
He was not yet certain if
attorneys would ask the 5th
Circuit to rehear the case or
appeal to the U.S. Supreme
Court.
Either way, it’s likely the
case is not yet completely
settled because there is so
much at stake, said Mark
Davis, a Tulane University
law professor who specializes in water policy.
Not only does this case
potentially involve billions of
dollars, but its outcome
could set a precedent for
whether the corps can be
held responsible for future
flooding disasters.
Davis said the appeals
court may have reversed
itself over concerns that the
previous ruling could expose
the federal government to
too much liability across the
nation. The Army Corps has
been sued before, but it
always
came
away
untouched.
“And some of that is
because we have asked it to
do all sorts of big risky
things and the deal was that
if we do it, you can’t sue us,”
Davis said.
Georgia’s richest man
runs for country’s top job
By MARIA DANILOVA
Associated Press
UREKI, Georgia (AP) —
Georgia’s richest man, billionaire and philanthropist
Bidzina Ivanishvili seems to
have it all — a head-spinning
fortune, the respect of his
country and gleaming, artfilled palaces across the
globe, including one where
zebras and pink flamingoes
roam.
What else could he want?
Political power, it turns
out, and that has put him on
a collision course with
President Mikhail Saakashvili
— his onetime friend and ally.
Since announcing his
ambitions
a
year
ago,
Ivanishvili has been stripped
of his Georgian citizenship
and hit with fines of tens of
millions of dollars. But he is
undeterred in leading his
Georgian Dream party into
parliamentary elections next
week that he hopes will make
him prime minister, set to
become the country’s most
powerful job after legislative
changes next year.
The outcome will have profound consequences for this
small but strategically located
South Caucasus nation,
which has been the West’s
most loyal ally in a troubled,
energy-rich region.
The
56-year-old
Ivanishvili, worth an estimated $6.4 billion, was an early
supporter of Saakashvili after
he came to power following
the 2003 Rose Revolution
demonstrations that drove
out the corruption-riddled
regime
of
Eduard
Shevardnadze.
But
Ivanishvili, who made his fortune in Russia, gradually
became disenchanted and
began to fear that his disagreements with Saakashvili
could imperil his future.
In an interview with The
Associated Press, he suggested that his entry into politics
was at least partly to shield
him from government pressure.
“When you enter politics, it
gives you some kind of protection,” he said in his residence outside the Black Sea
resort of Batumi. But he
insists that his rags-to-riches
story also points to a deeper
drive to help his country: “A
smart, gifted person can do
things for himself, but also
for his friends, for his village,
for his country.”
Ivanishvili
was
the
youngest of five children in a
hilltop village so poor and
remote that a rickety old
truck brought supplies just
once a month. He often had
no shoes and dreamt of owning a bicycle. After earning an
engineering degree in the
capital Tbilisi, he moved to
Moscow, where he received a
Ph.D. in labor economy.
When
Soviet
leader
Mikhail Gorbachev launched
his perestroika campaign and
gradually allowed private
entrepreneurship, Ivanishvili
and a friend seized the spirit
of the times. They began
importing personal computers — rarities in the Soviet
Union that cost the equivalent of two or three cars.
Sometimes
he
would
approach foreigners at cafes
and plead with them to bring
computers on their next visit.
In 1990, a year before the
Soviet
Union
collapsed,
Ivanishvili and his partners
amassed enough money to
start a bank, Rossiyskiy
Kredit, which became a leading financial institution. Its
first office was at a kindergarten, and foreign partners
coming for meetings stumbled over miniature toddler
toilets. As his bank expanded, Ivanishvili started buying
into mining and metals
plants across Russia, and
then reselling the shares at
huge profit.
Skeptics wonder whether it
was possible to amass such a
fortune
honestly,
but
Ivanishvili insists that he
always ran a clean business.
“I never violated any laws,”
he said. “I never betrayed or
deceived anyone.”

My Sweet Yellow Rose
God gave me a flower with no promise of time. He said, “Don’t forsake
me when I reclaim what is mine. Some blossom forever and others
never bloom. I’m arranging my garden, but I may call her soon.”
The dainty, sweet yellow rose made my life a delight! She grew every
season, through each day and every night. Yellow rose an off
spring, you’ve a claim on my soul; the nectar of my
heart, your love made me feel whole.
God recalled that flower that I once raised as mine,
My love blossoms above ... a yellow rose divine.

Lady Rams finish off Gophers
By KENDRICK
JESIONOWSKI
Times sports editor
RIDGEWAY — The Upper
Scioto Valley volleyball team
got off to a slow start for the
second night in a row. But
again once the Rams found
their game, they dispatched of
their opponents in short order,
topping Ridgemont 25-18, 2515, 25-14 in a Northwest
Central Conference battle
Tuesday night.
The Rams improve to 8-5 on
the season and 3-1 in NWCC
play. Ridgemont is 2-8 and 13.
Game one was back and
forth early as USV held an 8-5
lead before Ridgemont went on
a 4-1 run to tie the game.
Trailing 12-9, the Gophers
scored four straight points,
knotting the game at 12-12 on
an ace by Whitney Arseneau
and taking the lead on an USV
error.
A kill by Toshia VanBuskirk
made it 15-13 for the Gophers
before the Rams regrouped,
ending the game with a 12-3
run to take a 1-0 lead in the
match.
Aspen Rose had a kill and a
block and Ali Goldsmith had
an ace during the run.
In game two, USV broke an
early 6-6 tie with a four-point
run, going ahead 10-6 on a
spike by Sydney Williams.
The Rams never trailed after
that. Leading 11-9, they went
on a 9-1 run to take an insurmountable 20-11 advantage.
Game three was similar,
except the Rams, behind the
serve of Goldsmith, scored the
game
first
six
points.
Ridgemont stayed within five
points until the Rams went on
a 7-1 run, stretching its
advantage to 21-10 on a
Goldsmith hit.
Leading 23-14, Rose put the
match in the books with two
straight aces.
While USV has won two
consecutive matches, coach
Paula Rose said the Rams still
have plenty of areas they need
to improve.
"I'm happy, but we need to
stay focused and keep improving," Rose said.
"We squeaked by the past
couple nights. Our passing
and digs are where we need to
continue to improve. We're not
aggressive on our digs and a
bit hesitant on our passes. We
need to improve and see the
game better."
Goldsmith had 15 points
serving, including 11 aces in
the match on a 22 of 23 serving effort.
Mary Winegardner had 14
assists on 40 of 41 sets. Rose

kills, Goldsmith was 8 of 9 on
the attack with 6 kills.
Defensively, Rose had 4
blocks and Williams had 3
blocks.
Winegardner led the Rams
with 7 digs.
For Ridgemont, Logan Hill
was 28 of 28 setting with 10
assists and 5 of 5 serving;
Whitney Arseneau was 11 of
12 hitting with 5 kills, 10 of 11
serving with 2 aces and was 12

Reds win hurts Brewers
chances at playoffs
CINCINNATI (AP) — The
Brewers couldn’t beat the team
that dethroned them as NL
Central champions, leaving
their postseason prospects
bleak.
Johnny Cueto pitched seven
solid
innings,
and
the
Cincinnati Reds stayed in the
chase for the NL’s top record
by beating Milwaukee 4-2 on
Tuesday night after learning
they’ll be without manager
Dusty Baker for the rest of the
week.
The Brewers dropped backto-back games for the first time
in more than a month, a
modest downtown that’s had a
huge effect on their playoff
chances. They fell 4 1/2 games
behind St. Louis for the final
NL wild card after the
Cardinals beat Houston 4-0.
“It’s not a good time to do
it,” manager Ron Roenicke
said. “It’s certainly looking a lot
tougher. We’re going to have to
get some big-time help.”
The Brewers won the NL
Central last year. They got
themselves
back
into
postseason
contention
by
winning 25 of 32. They got no
break from the Reds, who
clinched the division title on
Saturday night and rested four
of their regulars the following
day. Interim manager Chris
Speier went back to his usual
lineup on Tuesday.
“It’s going to be tough,”
right-hander Mike Fiers said.
“We need to win out, I think.
It’s coming down to the wire
here. We’ve got to start playing
better baseball.”
Fiers (9-9) gave up nine hits
and four runs in 4 1-3 innings.
The Reds put together four
straights hits to open the
second, loading the bases in
three singles. Dioner Navarro
singled for a 2-0 lead.
Zack Cozart opened the fifth
with a triple that caromed off
the wall in center, and Joey
Votto and Jay Bruce doubled
for a 4-1 lead. Fiers has gone
1-3 in five September starts
with a 7.08 ERA, fading at the
end of his rookie season.
“It’s coming in September,
but I’ve got to live with it and
try to get better,” Fiers said.
Baker met with the Reds
before the game and revealed
he suffered a mini-stroke in
addition to being treated for an
irregular
heartbeat
at
a
Chicago hospital last week.
Speier will manage the series
against Milwaukee and three
games in Pittsburgh during the
weekend, giving the 63-yearold Baker time to rest.

today in history
By The Associated Press
Today is Wednesday, Sept. 26, the 270th day
of 2012. There are 96 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in History:
On Sept. 26, 1789, Thomas Jefferson was
confirmed by the Senate to be the first United
States secretary of state; John Jay, the first chief
justice; Edmund Randolph, the first attorney
general.
On this date:
In 1777, British troops occupied Philadelphia
during the American Revolution.
In 1892, John Philip Sousa and his newly
formed band performed publicly for the first time,
at the Stillman Music Hall in Plainfield, N.J.
In 1914, the Federal Trade Commission was
established.
In 1918, the Meuse-Argonne offensive, resulting in an Allied victory against the Germans,
began during World War I.

Buck sewer plan discussed
(Continued from page one)
Kenton
Safety
Service
Director Jim Hites said the
city is waiving the tap fees for
the houses and businesses in
the triangle area who are in
the annexation. This would
mean a savings of $1,400 per
tap, he said. Smith said his
department will also try to cut
down expenses to the project
by donating planning and
labor.
Seven properties in the triangle have been receiving
sewer service without paying
for many years, noted Smith.
Those owners are to pay only
the flat fee, but should they
decide not to tie into the new
city system, their lines would
not be serviced if a problem
develops, said the engineer.
"Those lines are not to EPA
standards," he said. "The city
says they are unacceptable,
so does the county. If there
are any problems with those
lines it is up to the residents
to maintain them if they are
left in and used."
A resident said the lines
have been in place since 1970
and many are 20 feet deep.
Assistant Engineer Luke
Underwood said the county
will try to work around any
buildings in the easement
spaces and fences will be
removed and replaced after
the work is completed.
"We don't want to take
buildings down if we can
avoid it," he said.
Residents asked if they
could be exempted for using
city water at their homes.
"We can't leave gaps," said
Kenton Law Director John
Schwemer. "It will need to be
annexation or no annexation."
He suggested residents
could continue to use their
water wells only for household
purposes such as washing
cars or watering gardens.
The application for the
OPWC funding is the end of
October, making it doubtful
the process can be ready for
this round of loans, said
Bailey. That will give the
county and city a year to
determine what their plans
will be for the triangle, he
said. That will include a second meeting on Oct. 22 at the
community building of the
fairgrounds. Bailey said the
county hopes a vote on
annexation could take place
then and 17 of the 33 properties approve.
"If we had 18 signatures,
we would go now," he said. "In
the mean time, convince your
neighbors this is the best way
to go."
Health board OKs final test
(Continued from page one)
In other business, the
board:
– Hired Shannon Plott of
Kenton as a temporary, parttime nurse to replace Hensel
when she is on maternity
leave. Plott will be paid $17
per hour for up to 19.5 hours
per week.
– Learned the health district received provisional status from the state on its food
survey. Five items involving
food inspection need to be
corrected. Lotts said he has
since provided information to
the state to address the concerns.
– Heard Lotts report a
change for food operations
moving into existing buildings. According to the state,
those operations will need to
provide lighting plans and
plumbing schematics, the
same as new structures.
– Heard Lotts follow-up on
several problems. A house at
210 North St., McGuffey, has
been condemned. A house at
315 N. High St., Kenton, has
been treated by a professsional for cockroaches and he is
waiting on a final inspection
before doing a walk-through.
A house at 212 N. Main, Alger,
which has the water shut off,
has been given an order to
abate.
– Learned from Lotts that
Shields is keeping tabs on two
new
Amish
homes
on
Township Road 140. Septic
system and water well issues
are being tracked.
– Heard Director of Nursing
Cindy Keller report on a successful Healthy Lifestyles program condcuted during the
fair, in which more than 50
children
participated
in
Olympics-style events. She is
also working to implement a
physical activity program for
preschoolers at Kenton City
Schools.
Poll: Most expect health law to be implemented
(Continued from page one)
from turning away the sick —
remains as divisive as the day
it passed more than two years
ago. After surviving a Supreme
Court challenge in June, its
fate will probably be settled by
the November election, with
Republican Mitt Romney vowing to begin repealing it on
Day One and Obama pledging
to diligently carry it out.
That’s what the candidates
say. But the poll found
Americans are converging on
the idea that the overhaul will
be part of their lives in some
form, although probably not
down to its last clause and
comma.
Forty-one percent said they
expect it to be fully implemented with minor changes,
while 31 percent said they
expect to see it take effect with
major changes. Only 11 percent said they think it will be
implemented as passed.
Americans also prefer that
states have a strong say in
carrying out the overhaul. The
poll found that 63 percent
want states to run new health
insurance markets called
“exchanges.” They would open
for business in 2014, signing
up individuals and small businesses for taxpayer-subsidized private coverage. With
many GOP governors still on
the sidelines, the federal government may wind up operating the exchanges in half or
more of the states, an outcome only 32 percent of
Americans want to see,
according to the poll, which
was
developed
with
researchers from Stanford
University and the University
of Michigan.
