Call 419-563-9212 for information BUCYRUS: Mrs. Vivian Roe Lewis Hamilton, age 78, of Bucyrus, Ohio, formerly of Lewis County, Kentucky, passed away Tuesday morning, March 31, 2015 at her residence. She was born November 7, 1936, in Lewis County, Kentucky, a daughter of the late John Harlan and Julia Gilliam Roe.

Vivian was a member of the Lincoln Avenue Church of Christ of Bucyrus and enjoyed worshiping with her brothers and sisters in Christ. She retired from Bucyrus City Schools and enjoyed being AP to the Dominican Republican aboard his luxury jet and that the senator, between 2007 and 2012, never disclosed the gifts he received from the doctor. In exchange for those and other gifts, prosecutors say, Menendez tried to influence immigration proceedings of Melgen's foreign girlfriends, sought to protect a lucrative contract Melgen held to provide cargo screening services to the Dominican Republic and intervened in a Medicare billing dispute involving millions of dollars. Menendez has acknowledged taking actions that could benefit Melgen, among them contacting U.S. health agencies to ask about billing practices and policies.

But the lawmaker has said he did nothing wrong and says he and Melgen have been friends for decades. "We celebrated holidays together," he once told reporters. "We have been there for family weddings and sad times like funerals and have given each other birthday, holiday and wedding presents, just as friends do." Melgen came under renewed scrutiny when government data last year showed he had received more in Medicare reimbursements in 2012 than any other doctor in the country. a homemaker, baking and cooking for her family and friends.

She enjoyed working in her flower gardens and decorating her lovely home. She knew no strangers and was always the best homemaker and host to everyone. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband of 32 years, Harold Lewis; one sister, Vingie Joetta Roe Logan; and one brother, Clifford Gardner Roe. Vivian is survived by her husband of 25 years, Ray Hamilton; a son, Tony Lewis (Jackie) of Mt.

Gilead, Ohio; two daughters, Teresa V. Lewis Long (Ken) of Columbus, Ohio, and Melissa Lewis Ruhe of Bucyrus, Ohio; two step children, Lisa Royal (Steve) of Decatur, Illinois, and Rodney Hamilton of Portsmouth, Ohio; five grandchildren, Amanda Zehring Spitler (Jeremy), Brittany Ruhe, Kaila Lewis Schock (Kyle), Chad Lewis (Rachael), and Shantelle Long; five step grandchildren, Lindsay Royal Blair (Rob), Elizabeth Royal, Chrystal Hamilton Welles, Sarah Hamilton (Ben), and Rodney Hamilton; nine great grandchildren, Harley, Victoriah, Jenna, Kade, Olivia Owen Waylon, Shaylee, and Blaise; six step great grandchildren, Olivia Owen Dallas, Elissa, Aurora, and Addison; two brothers, Harlan Fenton Roe (Mary) of Bucyrus, Ohio, and Emeral Roe of Vanceburg, Kentucky; and one sister, Vera Thelma Roe Haney (Rufus) of Carter, Kentucky.

Bob Menendez, the son of Cuban immigrants who rose to become one of the highest-ranking Hispanic members of Congress, was charged Wednesday with accepting nearly $1 million worth of gifts and travel from a longtime friend in exchange for a stream of political favors on the donor's behalf. A federal grand jury indictment accuses the New Jersey Democrat of using the power of his Senate seat to benefit Dr. Salomon Melgen, a wealthy Florida eye doctor who prosecutors say provided the senator with luxury vacations, airline travel, golf trips and tens of thousands of dollars in contributions to a legal defense fund.

The indictment in Newark charged the senator with 14 counts, including bribery, conspiracy and false statements, over his ties to Melgen. Melgen also was charged in the case.

At the United Way Glo-waski is replacing Amber Wertman, who has become assistant director of United Way in Marion County. "To be honest, I actually had an interest in this position years ago when Veronica Ponziani headed it up.

I did a little volunteering to help her back then," Glowaski said. She's taken the job just as the United Way of Crawford County's 2014 campaign has wrapped up. Its funding goal was $315,000. "We'll see where things come in here at the end, but we're probably going to be just a little bit short of the goal, and that's OK," Glowaski said. "I think last year they were at $300,000.

We wanted to make it a little bit more of a stretch this year and see where we ended up." Final numbers for the 2014 campaign will be revealed at the United Way's annual meeting, begin McCartV Continued from Page 1A ior, but it's not an excuse. You were selling heroin.

Menendez has repeatedly asserted his innocence. Melgen's attorney did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday. The indictment from a grand jury in his home state was the latest development in a federal investigation that came into public view when federal authorities raided Melgen's medical offices in 2013.

Among the allegations is that Melgen provided Menendez with free trips ning at 5:30 p.m. April 27 at Bucyrus Community Hospital.

Registering to vote will remain merely one possible proof of residency for those who do get a license, said John Born, director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety.

The Bureau of Motor Vehicles considers a person to have declared permanent residency if he or she moves to Ohio, unless there is "a specific intention to return to live in a different state," according to the Ohio Administrative Code. The BMV does not consider merely business in Mansfield and they have kids in the schools here. "I've lived away in a city, and I know the excitement of that when you're young. But once you start to have a family, and you have a lot of your connections back here, it's nice to come back home and raise your kids in this environment," Glowaski said. She still recalls fondly a volunteer project she worked on several years ago to install playground equipment at Aumiller Park in Bucyrus.

She reiterated that she wants to bring that spirit with her to United Way of Crawford County. "To build that in five days and to have all those people come together, it was just awesome.

So, are out-of-state students free to view their home state as their permanent state of residence while in college? "It's completely up to that student," Born said. Kasich, a possible presidential candidate, first came to Ohio as an out-of-state student at Ohio State University.
