In our rush to put blame on politicians for the loss of coal jobs, maybe we need to re-examine some hard economic realities. President Barack Obama has become an easy target, with the coal industry blaming environmental regulations. Issues of clean air aside, let’s take a look at the harsh economic realities, which have a much greater impact on coal jobs.

I just got out of a pretty heavy relationship. I don’t want to be a slut but I think I’m ready to move on. What’s the appropriate amount of time to wait before I open myself up again?
After Faculty Senate agreed to include domestic partner benefits in its handbook two years ago, it was made official at the beginning of October.
Most OU students spend only four or five years in Athens, and when they elect to vote here, they more often than not have some notable limitations: lack of historical perspective and understanding of the city-county governmental relationships. This makes it all the more important that before they vote on county offices, they spend time researching what and who they are voting for since they can enjoy a major role in deciding who receives the most votes.
Directly after Ohio’s 23-20 loss to Miami Saturday, redshirt junior quarterback Tyler Tettleton stood on the sideline, hands clutching his chest protector, helmet perched atop his head.

We are writing in support of the candidacy of Randy Mace for county commissioner. We have known Randy since our return to Athens County in 1978. During that time we’ve seen him head the Athens County Emergency Management Agency, become the driving force for establishing 9-1-1 in Athens County, and be selected as one of a few top communication specialists in the nation to provide vital security communications for the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002.

I am pleased to continue to support Democrat Chris Chmiel for Athens County commissioner. I have worked with Chris for a number of years on the committee that produces the Pawpaw Festival. He is personable, approachable and kind. He asks for and utilizes others’ input and feedback, often trying new ideas to see if they work for the group as a whole. He respects our time by managing our meetings well, starting and ending on time, and working from an agenda. He does not micromanage, but he does check in to make sure that things are being done in a timely fashion. He follows through on everything that he says he will do, either by delegating the job or seeing to it himself. He rolls up his sleeves and works harder than anyone else.
Athens will likely see high winds, plenty of rain and even snow as Hurricane Sandy travels inland this week.
