Programs pay wellness fees Bv BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@ MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - With most people watching every penny, finding the money to pay for wellness programs is low on the priority list but opttons such as Silver Sneakers and the Prime Program, offer a solution. According to Bryan Hoffman, Meigs County Council on Aging director of wellness, Silver Sneakers is a program for residents of Meigs, Gallia and Mason counties, age 55 and over, designed by Healthways and through participating medical insurance companies, will pay for wellness fees and fitness class fees. A separate but similar program. the Prime Program. i~ available for those 18-55 years of age. Hoffman explained the qualified participant only has to complete some basic enrollment information and can then exercise within the wellness center at the Meigs Senior Center or attend a fitness class at the center at least twice a week. Hoffman added the wellness center is also implementing a seated chair exercise program to increase muscular strength, endurance, flexibility, stamina and other benefits of exercise specific to seniors. The Silver Sneakers program falls under the umbrella of Medicare and Medicaid, as well as many other insurance plans, and is compl.etely free for qualified seniors. Hoffman said there are an estimated I ,700 residents within the three counties who qualify for the free program. Currently 15 pat1ici- pants are enrolled since the program began on Jan. 1. Silver Sneakers is described as a "fun. energizing program that helps older adults take greater control of their health by encouraging physical activity and offering social events." Hoffman said those ages 18-55 have not been left out of utilizing Wellness Center programs thanks to offering the new Prime Program. "If an individual's health insurance program offers the ''Prime Program," which can be identified on the health insurance card, then this will work the same as the Silver Sneakers program.'' Hoffman said. Call Hoffman at the Meigs Senior Center at 992-2161 for more information.

BY ERIC ERICKSON WASHINGTON Every once in a while Michelle Obama checks in with old friends. "Do you still recognize me?" she'll ask. "Do I still feel like Michelle?" In the past year, the first lady's name has popped up on Forbes' ·'most powerful women" list. People's "most beautiful" list, Time's ·'most influential" list, Vanity Fair ·s "international best-dressed" list, Barbara Walters' ''most fascinating" list. And so on. Her every word, move, bite, gesture. dress and shoe has been analyzed and second-guessed. Is she taking on too much? Why isn't she doing more? Did she touch the queen first? Should her arms be bare? Are her shorts too shot1? Are her sneakers too expensive? Is she putting on weight? ''It wasn't something that 1 was prepared for,'' she said last week as she looked back on her first year as first lady. The challenge, then, has been to remain Michelle through it all, and not become "somebody else that is in a magazine." To stay grounded yet reach high. This is a first lady, after a11, who wants to make a difference, who dares to speak even now about her legacy. She has spent the past year giving the job of first lady a test run, settling her family into a new life in a new town, trying to avoid creating controversy for her already burdened husband and figuring out where to make her mark. "Our goal was to do everything that was done before, so that we'd know what it was, and uphold those traditions, but try to tweak it,'' she told reporters last week. "And now that we've gone through a year, we can really think about really what works for this administration, what works for me as a first lady. what resonates with where America is today." Looking back, then, here are a few moments that help to sketch the portrait of a first lady who calls herself a "I 10-percenter," always looking to do more. THE GARDENER There she is, this Harvardeducated lawyer and former executive, digging up sweet potatoes on the back lawn of the White House. Michelle Obama, gardener? The first lady ·took her "pipe dream" of a modest kitchen garden and transformed it into a platform that she hopes will improve the lives of millions of young people. The garden gave her a gentle way to start up a conversation about healthy eating that will get more pointed this year as she makes a head-on campaign against childhood obesity. "We have a chance to change the fate of the next generation if we get on it," she says. This is what Obama hopes will be her legacy. THE NURTURER They could have been two AP photo President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama walk across the South Lawn of the White House in Washington. girlfriends headed out to lunch: Michelle Obama and Queen Elizabeth, arm in arm, strolling in to a reception at Buckingham Palace in April. It may have been the most closely watched touchy-feely gesture of the first lady's first year ("Astounding!" British wags called it), but it was hardly the only one. Obama, whose husband is seen as a rather cool character. emerged as the nation's nurturer-in-chief. She hugs with reckless abandon, closing her eyes and enveloping school children, young women. ordinary Americans. It fits with her larger mission of mentoring young people, giving them the confidence to rise, as she says, "from mediocrity to fabulousness." The first lady started up her own mentoring program at the White House and is urging other Americans to do likewise. "If there is a ptogram that speaks fundamentally to who I am," she says, "it is this." THE FASHIONISTA The fascination with Michelle Obama 's fashion choices started with her inaugural twirl in a white, oneshoulder Jason Wu gown and hasn't let up since. The first lady's wardrobe mixing trendsetting designs and off-the-rack cardigans - won her accolades from the fashion world. She even held her own in a fashion face-off with French first lady Carla BruniSarkozy, a former model. at the NATO summit in April. Still, it must be said, there was the occasional howler. Even her husband turned fashion critic at times, poking fun at what he calls her "Star Wars belt." And it's a fair bet the first lady never meant to be photographed walking dog Bo on the South Lawn in those less- than-flattering Bermuda will end: Michelle Obama is shorts. a wife and mother.

Maine Herbie. a massive tree that stretched I I0 feet into the sky. captured the imagination of a town's residents and earned the title of New England's champion elm, was cut down Tuesday after a long battle with Dutch elm disease. It was more than 200 years old. Assisted by a massive crane, a crew took the proud tree do\\ n. limb by limb. as residents and the tree's I 01year-old caretaker gathered to bid it farewell. Even with its massi\'e limbs removed, the tree's I 0-ton trunk was so hea\) that it shook the ground \\hen it fell v. ith a thud. Among those witnessing the tree's histone passing was Frank Kmght. the town's former tree~ warden. who cared for the beloved American elm for a halfcentury. " It 's been a beautiful tree. I'm sorry to sec it go. But nothing is forever." Knight said. "It's pretty near my turn. And it's just a fact of life that life is going to end. And that's for people. for trees. for everything. I thank the good Lord every day that we had him in his glory and beauty for so long." Delayed for 24 hour!> because of a winter storm. the crew quickly set about dismantling Herbie in methodical fashion under steady snowfall. Its top limbs were 30 to 40 feet long. as big as typical trees. The final cut that brought down its trunk was made by a man wielding a 5-footlong chain saw. Afterward. Knight was greeted wtth a round of applause as he joined a crowd that gathered around the tree's stump. Steadied with a cane. Knight watched a state official count the tree's rings. Herbie was originally estimated to be 240 years old. But a preliminary count of growth rings by Peter Lammert of the Maine Forest Service indicated it Merle L.

Herbie is New England's largest and oldest elm tree. The tree succumbed to Dutch elm disease after surviving 14 previous bouts with the fungus. The massive tree is estimated to be more than 200 years old. Its exact age will be known after officials count the growth rings in the trunk. AP photo was 212. A precise age will be announced after the stump is sanded smooth and examined under magnification. Lammert said. Judging by the revised age, it's now believed Herbie sprouted around 1798, not long after the I~ original colonies gained their independence and shipbuilding had taken root on the shores of Yarmouth. Over the years. generations of residents passed under the shade tree. The tree became well known among local townsfolk as one of a handful of large elms that sunived after Dutch elm disease arri\ed in town in the late 1950s. Knight. Yarmouth's volunteer tree warden. realized A this re-trial. Rizer family members testified that the two had a happy marriage a claim Rizer herself made to Dep. Scott Trussell and Ohio BCI Agent LatTy Willis the day of the shooting. Rizer was indicted on a count of aggravated murder in the days after her husband's death. In November. a jury acquitted her of that charge. but failed to reach a unanimous verdict on the lesser charge of murder. Rizer has been housed in the Washington Count) Jail since her arrest on April 3. 2009. Relay from Page AI "RFL is an excellent opportunity for businesses. community organizations, churches, families: etc. to turn their concern for the health and well-being of all Meigs County residents into action," Sim said. Teams can sell candy bars and luminaries and/or participate in "Daffodil Days" sales, which are fund-raisers coordinated by the Metgs RFL Planning Committee: other\\>ise, teams are free to choose the fund-raismg activities m which they engage . All of these options can be dtscussed at the team captains' meetings. "Team creativity makes Relay very interesting and fun," Sim said. The ACS' RFL represents the hope that those lost to cancer will never be forgotten; that those who face cancer will be supported and that one day cancer will be eliminated. RFL is the most rccognited fund-raising event in the World. RFL dollars support numerous services for local cancer patients/sun·i\'on. and their families including· Patient Na\ igator. Reach to Recovery, Look Good. Peel Better and Hope Lodge. Also knO\\ n as much for its resilience as its !!rand size. Man Ellen~ Bradford, who took her 4-year-old grandson to see Herbie's demise. said there was a sense of loss for many who li\'e in Yarmouth. ''It's kind of a sad da). but we have !!reat memories." she said. ~ .. We've always taken pictures of our kids in front of it. over the years.'' While Herbie was big. it wasn't the nation's tallest elm. There's a taller one in Baltimore County.

(AP) - A two-week break from a rugged Big East schedule might be what No. 11 West Virginia needs to refocus. J u s t don't call it a welc o m c break. The challenges are just NOTEBOOK different. We s t Virginia (13-3) plays cross-state foe Marshall this week and No. 21 Ohio State. After an 11-0 start, the Mountaineers have lost three of their last five games and are in danger of falling into the middle of the pack in the Big East, which has five teams ranked in the top 12. The Mountaineers were as high as No. 6 in December but have since seen the likes of Syracuse and Pittsburgh, both unranked before the season, sprint past them in the rankings. This week's schedule is part of coach Bob Huggins· philosophy to position the Mountaineers for a higher seeding in the NCAA tournament. That's not going to happen if West Virginia keeps struggling to score and playing anything less than Huggins' brand of physical man-to-man defense. Marshall (15-2) is off to its best start since 1971-72 and will play its annual match up with West Virginia on Wednesday night at the Charleston Civic Center. The Buckeyes (13-5) will travel to Morgantown on Saturday and are coming off wins over ranked opponents Wisconsin and Purdue. West Virginia has beaten Marshall three straight times, but the Thundering Herd have a different look and feel this season. Not only did 7-foot freshman Hassan Whiteside post the first triple-double in Marshall history against NAJA Brescia in December, he did it again last week against Central Florida. Whiteside leads the nation with 5.6 blocked shots per game and is averaging 12.5 points - just behind Tyler Wilkerson's 12.6 average - and 9.4 rebounds. "You get a guy in the middle who's leading the country in blocked shots. it's going to make a difference," Huggins said. "They can show some different things defensive!} because of h1m, because they've got a goalkeeper. "It's just hard to get it at the basket against him." Marshall is 13th in Division 1 scoring at 82.4 points per game and it will be difficult for West Virginia to try to match the Thundering Herd basket for basket. Lately, most of West Virginia's starters have struggled. including marquee players Da'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks, who are both making only about 35 percent of their shots this month. Butler continues to lead the team in scoring at nearly 16 points per game but has reached that average just once over a five-game stretch. Ebanks has seen his scoring average slip to 12 points, now third on the team behind Kevin Jones. Wellington Smith has gone quiet since scoring a career-high 19 points in a win over Mississippi on Dec. 23. On the positive side, guard Darryl Bryant has averaged 15 points in four games since returning as a starter after being benched in favor of a taller lineup. More times than not lately. West Virginia has started slowly. including missing 15 of its first 19 shots Saturday against Syracuse. There also were doubledigit early deficits to Purdue, South Florida and Notre Dame earl ier this month. The Mountaineers have shot below 50 percent from the floor in five straight games and they've been outscored 82-47 from the free-throw line over the past six. ·'Our problem is our margin for error is not very big," H uggins said. "When you struggle to score the ball the way we've struggled to score the ball, particularly when our better players aren't making shots. we don't have a very big margin for error. "Da'Sean has got to score." Or the Mountaineers could very easily continue to struggle. Eagles 48-46 and 49-48 edges in the opening minute. Eastern, however. held the hosts scoreless over the next 2:30 of play, which led to a 10-0 run and a commanding 58-49 lead with less than 30 seconds remaining. That nine-point lead was also the biggest of the night for either team. The Lancers closed the final 20 seconds on a 3- I run , but never recovered from the scoring drought in overtime - allowing the Eagles to come away with the seven-point decision. Eastern connected on 21of-59 field goal attempts for 36 percent, including 5-of21 from three-point territory for 24 percent. Fed Hock, conversely. made 19-of-44 floor attempts for 43 percent - including 10-of-23 trifectas for 44 percent. Federal Hocking outrebounded the guests 27-24 overall, but Eastem claimed an 11-4 edge on the offensive glass. EHS also committed 11 turnovers in the contest. four less than the hosts' tally of 15. Kelly Winebrenner led the Eagles with 18 points, followed by Tyler Hendrix with nine markers. Both Baum and Mike Johnson were next with eight points apiece. followed by Tints Pierce with six. Jake Lynch and Kyle Connery rounded things out with five points each. The guests were 12-of-22 at the free throw line for 55 percent, but made 6-of-7 charity tosses in the overtime session. Federal Hocking was led by Thompson with a gamehigh 21 points, followed by Ryan Rex with 10 markers. Shawn Parsons and Brendan Torrence also added nine points apiece in the setback. The hosts were 3-of-7 at the charity stripe for 43 percent, all of which came in the overtime session. Federal Hocking salvaged an evening split with a 4935 victory in the junior varsity contest. The duo of Jon Skidmore and Brent Decker Jed the JV Lancers with I 3 points apiece, while Max Carnahan paced the JV Eagles with a game-high 15 markers. Eastem - which entered the AP Division IV poll this week at No. 18 - returns to action Friday when it travels to Corning for a TVC Hocking matchup with Miller at 6 p.m. from PageBl drought as Eastern entered the fourth quarter with a 3730 deficit. The Eagles whittled the lead down to five (37-32) 15 seconds in, but the hosts countered with a basket to re-establish an eight-point lead with 7:30 left in regulation. Eastern, however, countered with an 11-3 charge over the next six minutes to tie things up at 43-all with 1:30 left. EHS then followed with its first lead of the second half, as Devon Baum completed an old-fashioned three-point play to give the guests a 46-43 cushion with 45 seconds remaining in the fourth. Tyler Thompson. however, spoiled Eastern's rally with a trifecta just 15 seconds later for a 46-all contest - which is the way regulation ended. Fed Hock took the first two leads of the extra fourminute session, establishing next 2:32 to reclaim a 51-44 advantage.

The Buffalo Bills team he\ taking 0\er hasn't nmde the playoffs in a decath.: and its fans hmc been damo1ing for Bill Cowher during a coaching search that seemed to take forever. Instead of landing one of the big-name coaches with loaded resume-. such as Cowher or Mike Shanahan.

For Nix. it was Gailey's extensive expcncnce that impressed him and met most of the criteria the GM set out when he took over the search two weeks ago. Nix was eager to find someone WJth previous hcadcoachmg experience and \\ ho had an offcnsi\C hackground.

Jim Brown wants LeBron to remain in Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) The most famous football player in Cleveland history hopes the city's most celebrated basketball star stays put. Browns Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown said Tuesday night that he hopes LeBron James remains with the Ca\aliers. James, the :\BA"s reigning MVP. can leave Cleveland as a free agent after this season. He has never indicated he \\ill sign elsewhere, but speculation has centered on him signing in a new. long-term contract in a larger market. Brown, \\hO played his entire NFL career in Cleveland, would like to see James do the same. ''Looking at the fact that it is a business, I put that first." Brown said. ''But having said that, I would love to see him be here. I think it's a terrific marriage. He docs so much for this city and I think he has an owner (Dan Gilbert) that tncs to do everything he can. When you have an owner who is trying to do the best he can do and a player, it's a terri fie set of circumstances.

They \\ere brought together as part of the Ca\aliers· celebration of black heritage month. Brown was honored during halftime ceremomes along with former Ohio State football star Cris Carter.

"I told him secret!) I'm a Saints fan," FaHc said. For years as a kid growing in southeastern up Mississippi, Favre nc\ cr felt the need to hide his devotion to Archie Manning and the rest of thosL lovable losers. even as many in the Gulf Coa'it region \\ere cutting eye holes in grocer) bags to a\'oid being seen at Saints games.

He played his college ball at Southern ,.\tfississippi in tlattiesburg. <1 mere two hours from Bourbon Street. Now, in the latest dramatit· twist to a 19th season that has been almost too good to be true, the Saints arc the last team standing in his \\.ay of reaching a th1rd Super Bowl.

Fa\ re has alread) stuck it to the Green Ba) Packers twice in convincing fashion. With a four-TD perform<mce against the Co\\ bo) s last \\eckend. he became the first ctuarterback to win a playoff game in 40s and has put together one of the best seasons of his brilliant career. He has thrown 37 touchdown passes and a career-low seven mterceptions. His 107.2 rating in the re&ular season was by far the h1ghest of his career ,md his 4202 yards passing \\ere third-most behind seasons 111 1995 and 1998, a lifetime ago in NFL years. Fa\ re led the Vikings to a 12-4 season and a first-round bye in the playoffs. just the second time since J975 that Minnesota has \\on at leao.,t 12 games in the regular season. If he is to lead the Vikings to their first Super Bo\\ I appearance since after the 1976 season. it" ill have to be at the expense of the team that was so close to his heart for so long. Favre loved the Saints as a kid. even mimicking r-.tanning in backyard football games of his youth. "We all liked Archie," ravre's brother, Scott. said in u telephone interview. "We'd go to quite a few games. Everybody dmvn here. that's their team." Scott said Bren also was a big Cowboys and Roger Staubach fan. but the boys did ha\ e Saints banners hanging on their \\ails and relished meeting players like Manning. Bobby Hebert and John rourcade through the years. As Favre rose to prominence in the NFL he earned a following in the Gulf region that \\Ould match the Saints fervent fan base. He still spends the \ ast majorit\ of hb free time at his oft\eason home in Hattiesburg and suffered through the devastation of Hurricane Katrina \Vith the rest of the tolks in the area in 2005. Katrina destroyed the Kiln home where Favre grew up and his mother still lived at the time. and Favre's vast estate in Hattiesburg was damaged as well. He ht!lped raise millions in the storm's aftermath to rebuild the region. which only fUtther cemented his status as a local hero.
