TIME FOR A CHANGE: Debbie James, 45, of Champion, waits at the Trumbull One-Stop Center. She hopes federal retraining funding will pay for her to complete her bachelor's of business administration at Kent State University. The wife and mother of three has been laid off from the accounting department at Severstal Warren since August 2009.
