Racial threat puts Hocking College on alert, on edge BY MEGHAN BARR • Burl Coleman • Wayne Franklin Sisson • Lawrence Stewart Rec~cled ~e~sprint ASSOCIATED PRESS NELSONVILLE - An attacker could find many places to hide at Hocking College in Athens County. And with the threat of a mass killing looming over black students at the community college. Allen Edwards is steering clear of the trees. "I don't feel too safe walking by the woods." said Edwards, a 19year-old black student from Canton. '·There's woods everywhere. And somebody could be out in them. and I don't know." The FBI is investigating a threat scra\vled last week on a bathroom wall warning that black students would be killed Feb. 2. It bore the trademarks of just another casual though chilling - threat of violence on a college campus, but students here aren't taking any chances. At least two black students have ""ithdrawn permanently from school out of fear for their safety. and another dozen have moved out of the dorm where the threat was found. officials at the two-year technical college said. Some students seem unperturbed. but others say the threat has brought simmering racial tensions to the surface. The school confirmed Tuesday that the threat said black studenb would be killed Feb. 2. At least one subsequent note reading "kill the n-----" was reported. Hocking covers hundreds of densely treed acres in the Wayne National Forest. About 400 of the school's 6JOO students are black. many of whom are foreign exchange students from the Caribbean. The college has provided temporary housing for students who are too scared to stay in Hocking Heights, the dorm where the threats were found. And for those wary of venturing outside until after Feb. 2. teachers are makinl! allowances for missed classwork. ~ Please see Hocking, AS School Board discusses stadium progress Crest .... ed Co1nmits estate n1oney to project BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINELCOM Bv BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - The Ohio River at Pomeroy crested Wednesday evening at around 42.5 feet, a few inches below flood stage which is at 46 feet.

POMEROY - A price structure for transporting bodies for autopsies will be established by Meigs County Coroner Douglas Hunter and county commissioners. The set prices will help reduce the c9sts to the county of transporting those bodies to the Montgomery County Coroner by private funeral homes and establish a standard in keeping with the costs paid by surrounding counties. Health Commissioner Larry Marshall, who serves as Hunter's deputy, met with commissioners Wednesday to review the proposed costs. Marshall said he met with area funeral directors who are called upon to transport the bodies when an autopsy is deemed necessmy. The cost of transporting remains to Dayton will be set at $350. and $50 for each additional body transpo1tcd. Funeral directors who spend more than two hours waiting for an autopsy to be pcrfOimed will be paid $20 per hour. up to $100. Marshall said charges to the county by various funeral directors vary greatly. from $200 to $1.200. Last year. in particular, commissioners made several additional appropriations into the autopsy line item. because costs exceeded those anticipated.

With the turnover erasing Democrat>' Senate supermajority needed to pas'> most legislation, it also put a cloud 0\er health care and the rest of Obama \ agenda. A chief demand was for lawmukers to press forward with his pri1ed health care o"verhaul, which is in severe danger in Congress. "Do not "'c1lk a\\ ay from reform." he implored. "Not nm'.

But in a concession to concern about the mo' e among Republicans and on his own party's right flank.

The president de\ oted about two-thirds of his speech to the economic '"orries foremost on Americans· minds as recession persists. "The devastation remams." he said. Obama emphasized his ideas. some new but mostly old and explained anew. for rest01ing job growth. taming budget deficits and changing a Washington so polarized that ''every day is Election Day."

Obama prodded Congress to enact a second stimulus package "'" ithout deJa} ... specifying it should contain a range of measures to help small businesses and fundine for infrastructure projects. Also, fine tuning a plan first announced in October, Obama said he will initiate a $30 billion program to provide money to community banks at low rates. provided they agree to increase lending to small businesses. The money would come from balances left in the S700 billion Wall Street rescue fund - a program ··about as popular as a root canal" that Obama made of point of saying "I hated." Acknowledging frustration at the 2overnment's habit of spending more than it has. he said he would veto any bills that do not adhere to his demand for a threeyear freeze on some domestic spending (while proposing a 62 percent, or $4 billion, increase in the popular arena of education). He announced a new. though nonbinding bipartisan deficit-reduction task force (while supporting a debtfinanced jobs bill). And he said he would cut $20 billion on inefficient progmms in next year's budget <~nd "go through the budget lme b) line" to find more.

"What government should not do is pile on more taxation, regulation, and litigation that kill jobs and hurt the middle class." In his speech.

Obama ackno\\ )edged "m) share of the blame" for not adequately explaining his plans to the public and connecting with the1r everyday worries. At the same time, he offered an unapologetic defense of pursuing the same agenda on which he won. He said that includes the health care overhaul. as well as an aggressive approach to global "arming (though without a plug for the controversial cap-and-trade system for emissions that he favors). s\\ eeping changes to address the nation\ millions of illegal immi~rants, "serious" reform of how Wall Street is regulated and children are educated. Obama called on lawn ers to resist the temptatl to substitute a smaller-bore health care solution for his far-reaching ideas. but he didn't sa) how. He simply said. "As temperatures cool.

Dear C.V.: One of the most exciting things in the world to a new parent is to be near the baby.

While the first need is for security. a baby also benetits from learning to fall asleep in its own bed or without being held by a parent.

It could be fear of losing money in the stock market, the security of knowing their deposits are government-insured or, with bank accounts at least, being able to quickly withdraw funds when needs arise. In retum for that convenience and security, however, interest eamed usually doesn't keep pace with inflation. When the economy was cooking a few years ago, 5 percent interest rates and higher on long-term CDs were not uncommon. But when the recession hit and the inflation rate began dropping, so did interest rates. These days, traditional savings accounts commonly eam just a fraction of 1 percent interest, while many CDs and T-Bills aren't much better. So how can you earn more interest on insured savings these days? Would you believe a checking account? Although checking accounts usually earn little Jason Aldennan or no interest, in the past fe"W years a product called high-yield reward checking has gained in popularity. These accounts often pay much higher interest rates than regular checking or savings accounts - or even long-term COs in the current market. In addition to paying higher interest, financial institutions offering these accounts typically will refund each month a certain amount in transaction fees charged by other banks for using their ATMs. For smaller institutions, this helps make up for not having their own extensive ATM network. However, high-yield checking accounts usually come with restrictions that may include: • A minimum number (usually 10-15) of monthly debit card purchases. • Direct deposit (like a paycheck) and/or automatic debit transactions (e.g .. monthly gym membership dues). • Issuing electronic statements only. • There may be a cap on account balances eligible for the high yield (commonly $25,000 or Jess): over that cap. the rest may earn a much lower rate.

If you don't meet all requirements during a particular month. the interest rate paid for that month could drop substantially. but typically will bounces back once you again meet all conditions.

Southern athletics night observed RACINE - The High School Athletic Department and Southern Elementary are joining forces to build an interest in Southern Athletics through hosting Southern Elementary students at the Southern boys basketball game against Waterford Friday night. Student admission will be free with a paid adult ticket, preferably a parent or guardian to help maintain student discipline. Students must sign-in with the accompanying adult limit three students per adult (unless you have a family with more than three children). Students will be expected to behave and watch the game - no running in and out in respect of older fans wishing to watch the game, said Scott Wolfe, elementary principal. All families are invited to participate. No child should attend the game alone. The accompanying adult will be responsible for the student and the student's behavior. Students will be given a coupon for a hot dog at sign-in. Limit one coupon per child. Students and parents are always encouraged to come to any and all of our biddy league, Jr. High. and High School boys and girls· games. "Our intention is to make this game part of the educational process and expose our students here at Southern Elementary to some of the activities they can look forward to in High School. whether it be playing basketbalL cheerleading. participating in band. being a student statistician or being part of the film crew." said Wolfe. "We know that the price of ever) thing has skyrocketed and hope that offering free admittance and a free hot dog \\/sauce and pop will help enable parents to get children out to the game and expose them to a festive game atmosphere while also building Tornado pride.''

The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution TOl)AY IN HISTORY Today is Thursday, Jan. 28, the 28th day of 2010. There are 337 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Jan. 28, 1980, in what became known as "the Canadian Caper," six U.S. diplomats who had avoided being taken hostage at their embassy in Tehrah flew out of Iran with the help of Canadian diplomats. On this date: In 1547. England's King Henry VIII died; he was succeeded by his 9-year-old son, Edward VI. In 1853, Cuban revolutionary Jose Marti was born in · Havana. In 1909, the United States withdrew its forces from Cuba as Jose Miguel Gomez became president. In 1915, the United States Coast Guard was created as President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill merging the Life-Saving Service and Revenue Cutter Service. In 1916, Louis D. Brandeis was nominated by President Woodrow Wilson to the Supreme Court; Brandeis became the court's first Jewish member. In 1945, during World War II, Allied supplies began reaching China over the newly reopened Burma Road. In 1960, the National Football League awarded franchises to Dallas and Minneapolis-St. Paul. . In 1973, a cease-fire officially went into effect in the Vietnam War. In 1978, fire swept through the historic downtown Coates House hotel in Kansas City, Mo., killing 20 people In 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff from Cape Canaveral, killing all seven of its crew members, including schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe. Ten years ago: Sister Jeanne O'Laughlin, the Florida nun selected by Attorney General Janet Reno as a neutral party in the custody battle over Elian Gonzalez, sought unsuccessfully to persuade Reno to change her mind about returnmg the six-year-old to Cuba. Five years ago: Iraqis overseas began three days of voting in 14 nations. Senate Democrats criticized President George W. Bush's plan to add personal accounts to Social Secunty and accused his administration of improperly using the Social Security Administration to promote the idea. Consumer products giant Procter and Gamble Company and Gillette Company announced a $57 billion merger. One year ago: In a swift victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House approved, 244-188, a huge $819 billion stimulus bill with Republicans unanimous In opposition despite Obama's pleas for bipartisan support. Lynyrd Skynyrd keyboard player Billy Powell, who survived the 1977 plane crash that killed three band members, died in Orange Park, Fla. at age 56. Today's Birthdays: Actor Alan Aida is 74. Actress Susan Howard is 68. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D·N.H.) is 63. Actress-singer Barbi Benton is 60. Evangelical pastor Rick Warren is 56. Gospel singer Marvin Sapp is 43. Thought for Today: "Organization can never be a substitute for initiative and for judgement." - Louis D. Brandeis, U.S. Supreme Court justice (1856-1941). Good economic news for Southern Ohio While far too mam Ohioans have lost their jobs over the past several months. and efforts will continue in the General Assembly to help get these people back to work. there is some promising economic news to report m Southern Ohio. · On Jan. 18. DuPont announced plans to invest $175 million in its Cirdevillc plant to e1<pand production of their 'l'cdlar PV2001 series film, which is used in the manufacturing of solar energy panels. The company estimates that the project will hring 270 construction jobs to Pickav.:ay County and create 70 permanent manufacturing positions. A number of key factors led to DuPont's decision. One reason. of course, is the dedication and proven talent of our rc!!ion·s \\Orkforce. In audition. the Legislature's efforts to lower the tax burden on Ohio businesses. improve our state's tort Jaws and reforn1 our energy reguiJtOr) structure - including promoting the use of alter nati' e energy sources have all worked to foster a more favorable economic development atmosphere in Ohio and help our state bdter compt!te with other states and. countries for investment and jobs. This is also encouraging news for the future of development in our state and region. because General Mills cited similar reasons for choosing to expand their facility in Wellston last year. We still have much more to accomplish to get our economy back on track. but it is important for our local communities and the state to take notice of these \ ictories when they happen.

"I'm not sure how to feel." he said. ··r m just gomg to see how everything plays out." Another resident of the second floor, Amelinda Marengo, sat on her bed and said that even though the threat doesn't include her, she is still afraid. Marengo. who is half Puerto Rican. said she and her black roommate endured racist taunts in the cafeteria on se,·era1 occasiom. last year. Her roommate declined to be interviewed. "We'd be sitting at a lunch table and some l!U~ s would be sitting across the room. and they'd be screaming, like. 'n----lover' across the table," Marengo said. "I had enough of it one day and I got up and I just started yelling at them and telling them, like, 'There is no reason for you to treat someone like that.'" About a year ago. Marengo !-.aid. a male friend led her into the second-floor men's bathroom and showed her racist comments on the wall. including a drawing of what she called a "hangman.''

Disagreement on inspection fees BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - Pomeroy Village Council has approved the second of three readings required to pass an amendment to an existing ordinance regarding the housing and building code. though the vote was not unanimous. Currently. landlords in Pomeroy are already required to pay an annual $25 rental inspection fee per property. This inspection is to be performed by the Pomeroy Code Enforcement officer. It was incorrect! y reported a $15 re-inspection fee would be due before property could be rented again in the event a tenant moves out and another wishes to moves in. As for when each new tenant moves in. the landlord must pay a $25 fcc to reinspect the property. not $15, even if the $25 annual fee has already been paid. In fact. this S 15 re-inspection fee is for additional \isits to property by the code enforcement officer to ensure an existing problem. which had previously been noted, had been fixed. This $15 re-inspection fee is to be charged in these situations only to recoup the cost of multiple visits to the same address for the same problem. Councilman Victor Young. who also owns rental property in Pomeroy. cited a need for rentals in the' illage and felt requiring landlords to pay a $25 rental inspection fee each time a tenant moves out. might place an unnecessar; burden on responsible landlords. Young said if you have multiple tenants move in and out of property several times a year. paying the village $25 for each tenant adds up. Mayor John Musser said the m~pection ordinance is patterned after U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Office guidelines and Pomeroy Chief of Police Mark E. Proffitt. who complimented young'~ properties. said the mspe~twns ar~ necessary to keep mesponstble landlords from letting their properties decline and/or become un ...anitary for tenants. The \ ote to read the ordinance was unanimous though Young voted against the ~pproval of the second readmg. Also at this week's meeting. Young voted not to approve the minutes from the previous meetmg, asking to rescind his vote on approving the first reading of the housing and building code ordinance. 'I RAVH~.Sl~ CITY. Mich. From poisons to nets to electric jolts. authoritks are studying a series of desperate measures to ward off an mvasion of the Great Lakes by heft}. hungry Asian carp. More than a dot.cn members of Congress from the region agreed Wednesday to seek $20 million for studying ways to pre\ cnt the carp from becoming establi-;hed in the lakes and jeopardtzing the fishing industry b; starving out competitors such as salmon and walleye. Among the options: stepped-up use of poisons. biological controls and commercial fishing.

Members of Congress say they'll seek $20 million to study using poisons to prevent Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes. Securing the money was among several steps agreed on by lawmakers from the Great Lakes region during a meeting Wednesday in Washington, D.C. states are pressing a lawsuit demanding closure of the locks. even though the U.S. Supreme Court last week rejected their request for an immediate order. Illinois and the Obama administration sa) there's no guarantee closing the locks would block the carp's path. but it definitely would disrupt shipping and promote flooding. "There's clear disagreement about closing the locks and I knew we couldn't resolve that bsue today:· Durbtn said in a phone intervie\\. "But I wanted to find some common objectives that we could move forward on aggressively and quickly. and we have." The White House has agreed to meet early next month with go\'emors from the region to discuss the carp problem. But some activists say there's too much talk aA too little action, especia~ since the disclosure last week that genetic material from Asian carp had been detected in Lake Michigan for the first time.

Ohio high court narrowly interprets anti-porn layv BY JULIE CARR SMYTH ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBUS The Ohio Supreme Court has narro...,ly interpreted a state law aimed to protecting children from online pornography and predators. delh ering a blo~ to free-speech advocate!> \\ ho "ant it thrO\\ n out a.; unconstitutional. In its unanimous decision. the court said a :2004 Ia\\ extending the state's definition of "material harmful to minors'' to the Internet is clearly intended to apply only to person-toperson communications · not to generally accessible Web sites and public chat rooms. "We conclude that a person who posts matter harmful to juveniles on generally accessible websitcs and in public chat rooms docs not violate (the lav.). because such a posting does not enable that person to 'prevent a particular recipient from recei\ ing the information.'" Justice Paul Pfeifer wrote in the accision. The interpretation is a blow to a coalition led by the American Booksellers 1 Foundation for Free Expression, which has been challenging similar statutes around the country. It argues such protections. when applied too broadly to online material. erode the constitutional free speech rights of online booksellers. newspaper publisher!'> and video game dealers. Technology, they say. can't a!\\ ays keep the harmful information from children. The high court's legal interpretation now goes back to the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals based in Cincinnati. which is considering the larger con ·titutional question. The IO\\ er court had asked justices to resoh e t\\ o ke) legal questions before movin!! foffiard on the bookseller · lawsuit. The questions involved what is meant by the technical terms contained in the law: ··mass distribution·· and "personally directed devices.'' On both questions, the court sided with Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray's arguments that the law is intended to be narrowly interpreted. "Based on our understanding of generally acceptable websites and public chat rooms:· Pfeifer wrote. ''they are open to alL including juveniles. and current usage and technology do not allow a person who posts thereon to prevent particular recipients, including juveniles, from accessing the information posted." A federal district court where the suit originated put enforcement of the law on hold after concluding its wording was overbroad and in violation of the First Amendment. That decision was appealed to the Circuit. This is the second ch lenge by booksellers. newspaper publishers and others of the status. State lawmakers specificall) amended the initial statute in an attempt to address First Amendment issues and avoid litigation. • I Invite thern to your church. Touch their souls ith <lad's \Vord.

The facility had already experienced a cutback in services it could offer to area senior citizens due to the difficult economic condition , and an unsuccessful bid to renew the replacement levy for the Gallia County Council on Aging could have resulted in deeper budget cuts and loss of services . ·Fortunately, nearly 63 percent of Gallia County voters stepped up on Nov. 3 , 2009 , and approved the levy, which according to Executive Director Shirley Doss, provides roughly 20 percent of the annu al operating budget for the agency. " We could have gone on for another year because we still had another year on the old levy, but after that it would've have just been drastic cuts in services,'' Doss said. She said ·the senior center currently offers home care ervice for about 135 local residents and deliver meals to about 150 residents at their homes. Additionally, the center provides about 45 congregate meals at its location at 1167 Ohio 160 just outside Gallipolis. It al o provides transport services for about 25 residents each day, many of which are for medical service . Doss said the center is a hub of activity for local senior citizens. "Every day we have pool players here,'' she said. "We have anywhere from five to 10. The gentlemen usually show up about 9 a.m. and stay until after lunch. Weekly, we-have crochet and knitting classes. We have an art class, bingo, card games and dominoes .'' Danettc McCabe, programs man- ager for the senior center, said volunteers are honored in the month of April and special activities are held each May, which is Older American s Month . The Out tanding Senior of the Year is ·honored each May. The marquee monthly event is the Senior Dinner, which is held at 6 p.m. on the second Monday of each month . According to McCabe and Doss , it usually draws a capacity crowd. Another popular offering is the travel club , which meets at 3 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month. . McCabe said many civic groups and other local 9rganizations aiso utilize the facility for meetings . "Any civic organizations can use our rooms at no cost to them," McCabe said. "We also rent out our room for private affairs , such as bridal showers, wedding reception s and those types of things ." Doss and McCabe said the senior center receives a great deal of support from the commun ity that helps offset many of the expenses it incurs. "Churches and civic organization~ are very generous to us," Doss said . ''We have a church that is sponsoring 12 home-delivered meals for a year. That came to a little over $12,000. The Rotary Club has been generous to us. They helped with building the (handicap accessible) ramps and sidewalks . The Lions Club has given us money. The Gallia. County Charitable Foundation helps us quite a bit." . Doss said local residents have donated many items that disabled people can use , like shower chairs, walkers and canes that can be borrowed.

Today, Alzheimer's disease affects approximately 5.2 million people in the United States and is the seventhleading cause of death for those over the age of 65. Every 71 seconds, someone in America develops Alzheimer's disease. There is no cure for this progressive, prolonged degenerative disease of the brain. Alzheimer's disease -causes a gradual and progressive- decline in short and long term memory, language abilities, thinking and reasoning skills and eventually disrupts all aspects of a person's functional, emotional and relational life. As the disease progresses, family members (care partners) assume more responsibility for day to day care, and in order to continue, must develop new coping strategies and caregiving skills. The Southeastern Ohio Office offers a variety of programs and services that can assist persons, families and caregivers affected by Alzheimer's disease or other dementia related illnesses, as well supplementing care and services provided by physician's offices and other healthcare agencies. Clinical staff of nurses and social workers are available to assist families upon diagnosis, during critical transition points in the illness, and with planning ahead. The following educational a·nd supportive programs are provided to families free of charge at any time throughout the course of the illness, from diagnosis to late stage. HelpLine is a 24-hour telephone service that provides support, referrals and information and may include written material and care-planning assistance. A family care consultation offers personalized information and education for families experiencing difficulties with caregiving or a wish to plan ·ahead.

While science has made many advancements and people are now living longer and healthier lives, there are still some signs people recognize as signs of aging. And these signs can begin as early as a person's 20s, growing more noticeable as time goes on. One side effect many inappropriately associate strictly with aging is glaucoma. Though commonly considered a disease of the elderly, glaucoma is not strictly limited to baby boomers and seniors citizens. While the Glaucoma Research Foundation notes that the elderly are at a higher risk for glaucoma, they are also quick to point out that 1 out of every 10,000 babies born in the United States is 'born with glaucoma, illustrating the broad expanse of this potentially harmful disease. With that in mind, consider the following quick facts about glaucoma: • Roughly half of the 4 million Americans who have glaucoma are unaware they have it. • Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness. It's important to get routine eye examinations, as even those who do and receive adequate treatment for glaucoma will not necessarily avoid blindness. In fact, roughly 10 percent of people with glaucoma who receive proper treatment still experience loss of vision. For those who never get treatment, the likelihocd of blindness is even greater. · • There are not necessarily symptoms of glaucoma. The importance of eye examinations is further emphasized by the very real likelihood there will be no discernible symptoms of glaucoma, as doctors often diagnose the disease before patients know they even have a vision problem. When vision loss begins, it does so with diminished peripheral vision. Many people subconsciously compensate by turning their head to the side. · • According to the Glaucoma Research Foundation, African-Americans are particularly susceptible to glaucoma at a young age. • • Taking Applications • • The Maples HUD Subsidized Efficiency/1 Bedroom ;; 50Y_rs or qualifying disability ~ Low income priority All "-- UltL111tS t_ 7 40-992-7022 1 % ARt 1>A ~ Silverheels • ~/;M'~ A Realty Company-EHO .. ..

Though young people are aware of the longterm benefits of exercise, such as reducing the risk of heart disease, seniors can benefit greatly from daily exercise as well. In fact, many illnesses commonly faced by senior citizens can be combated effectively, though not entirely, if daily exercise is included. Exercise can help reduce the negative side effects of conditions such as osteoporosis, arthritis and even_ depression, each of which can appear as a person ages. Unlike beginning an exercise regimen when you're young, however, doing so as a senior involves a little more restriction and an honest appraisal of where you are with respect to fitness . For seniors about to start an exercise routine, a couple of things must be considered to • ensure your success and safety. • Be honest: Diving right back into a heavy exercise routine is dangerous. Instead, be honest with yourself at the start. If you haven't seen the inside of a gym in a long while, take things slowly at first. Make your daily routine short at first, for 10 to 15 minutes per day, and take regular breaks. Slowly add to your routine as your body acclimates itself to daily physical activity. • Be realistic: Choosing an exercise regimen that you won 't enjoy is impractical. While this is often something younger people with specific goals in mind can handle , seniors need to be realistic and choose' a routine they'll enjoy. You're probably not entertaining the notion of athletic glory like younger people, so you 're far less likely to stick to a routine that's not enjoyable. Once you've chosen your routine, there are certain steps to take that can ensure the routine won 't leave you licking your wounds or aching all over. • Stretch: Even professional athletes who earn their livings being physically active stretch on a daily .basis . Stretching should be done before and after each workout. Lowintensity stretches that precede a workout will ready your body for the more strenuous work ahead and will also get your blood flowing. It's important to stretch after you've worked out as well. Most people end their workouts with some cardiovascular work, be it walking or running on the treadmill or using the exercise bike. Once you 've finished the more strenuous p01tion of your cardiovascular routine, cool down with a 1 or 2 minute walk on the treadmill or a couple of minutes of low intensity cycling on the exercise bike. This allows your heart rate to return to normal. Upon completion of the cardiovascular portion of str~- your workout , do some light ing to avoid cramping. • Stay hydrated: Even if your exercise routine isn't strenuous, and for many seniors it's not, that doesn 't mean you 're not going to sweat. Replenish the fluids your body is going to lose through exercise by drinking water while you exercise. Dehydration is not only bad for your body, it's also uncomfortable, often leading to muscle tightness and possibly stomach pains. Drinking ample amounts of water while you workout should help you avoid these side effects. • Take it easy: Once back in the swing of things , it's still important for seniors to not go too hard during their workouts. Feelings of nausea , lightheadedness or dizziness indicate you're going too hard. Again , seniors are at greater risk for injury and ailments than their younger counterparts, so exercise ca · whenever exercising.

Thanks to advances in medicine and an attitudinal shift toward healthier lifestyles, people are living longer, and the growing number of seniors is a testament to that. Still, the exploding senior population has also resulted in a growing number of adults caring for older adults. The recent economic struggles have also added to this number, as many adults have found that nursing homes or assisted living centers are no longer affordable in these tough times. For adults faced with the responsibility of caring for an aging parent, consider the following tips to make sure the transitions goes as smoothly as possible. • Be prepared. While not all aging parents will need to move in with their sons or daughters as they get older, many .will. Preparing for this possibility well in advance can make the process go much more smoothly. Don't wait until parents' health deteriorates to the point where options will be limited. • Discuss the situation with your own Another way to make the transition go smoothly is to prepare your children for the changes that could come once their grandmother or grandfather moves in. Seek children's input regardless of how young they are. Doing so will make them' feel better about the process. By including them in the decision-making process you're letting them know their views matter, which is often a problem when parents -don't discuss the· issue with children beforehand. · • Be sure your home is safe. Certain things are safe for young adults and chilqren but much less so for seniors. For example, bathrooms are often danger zones for· seniors, and slipping and _falling can prove disastrous for seniors. Consider installing handrails - in the shDwer, using higher wattage light bulbs to increase visibility, securing throw rugs to reduce the likelihood of slipping, and coRverting a first floor room into a bedroom to make it easier for seniors to get around the house and lessen their load. family~ Are You A LOYALTY CARD MEMBER? · Involving kids in the decision-making when seniors are moving in is one way to ensure everyone is still smiling once Grandma or Grandpa make the move.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, adults over 65 years old are twice as likely to die in a fire and those over 85 are four times more likely. Prevent Fires c. • Safe Cooking: Always watch tove top items and tum off burners if you must walk away - even for a minute. Tum handles of pots and pans toward the back to avoid accidentally knocking them over. • Avoid loose-fitting and dangling clothing on your arms and chest while you cook. Keep flammable materials like towels, potholders, papers, etc., away from heating appliances. Use a timer to remind you if you are using the oven. If you don't feel safe cooking, contact your case manager or an area agency on aging, (866) 243-5678 about receiving home delivered meals or other assistance with meal preparation. • Safe Electrical Equipment: Unplug small appliances like toa ters and can openers after each use. If an appliance appears to be malfunctioning, have it checked and repaired before using again. Be-sure that electrical cords and any extension cords are in proper working condition. Be sure outlets are not overloaded. • Safe Heating: Do not u e your oven to heat your home. If you use electric space heaters, be sure the electrical cords are in good condition and the outlet can handle the load. Do not share an outlet used by a heater with any other device. Avoid using extension cords with heaters. Use only the correct fuel in kerosene heaters to avoid fire or explosion, and be sure to let the heater cool before refueling. Store and handle the fuel safely. Be sure fireplace flues are clear and always use a screen to deflect sparks. Keep combustible materials like blankets and clothing at least three feet away from any h~at Be Prepared • Install smoke detectors on each level of your home and in all sleeping areas and test them monthly. Change the batteries every ix months. For help obtaining and installing smoke detectors and batteries, contact your local fire department, your case manager or an area agency on aging. • Use only deep-seated ashtrays. If you or others in your home must • smoke, keep smoking materials away from combustible materials and wet them before disposing of them. Never smoke while lying down, when tired or when taking medications that cause drowsine s. Always tum off medical oxygen while someone in the house is smoking, then tum it back on when they've finished. • Develop and practice a fire evacuation plan. Identify at least two ways to get out and review safety steps like checking closed doors for heat before opening, using your emergency alert device if you have one and crawling on the floor below the smoke. Get out fast and stay out! • If you require assistance getting out of the house, close the door to your room, stay near a window and stay on the phone with rescuers. Alert your local fire department prior to a fire that you may be unable to evacuate without assistance in the event of a fire - this will help keep you and your rescuers safer. \ EVERY TUESDAY, SENIOR CITIZENS 55 YEARS AND OlDER OHIO ~ BANK I~ ON THAT OAfS PURCHASES 8rre1872 -NO CARD NEEDED - VALLEY < sources.

By signing up for price clubs at neighborhood grocery stores and pharmacies, you're often making yourself eligible for sale prices on items without having to scour the Sunday newspaper circulars and clip coupons. • Buy select items in bulk. Buying nonperishable items in bulk can also be a great way to save money. Many neighborhood grocery stores now sell certain items, such as toiletries and paper towels in bulk, and some . even have aisles devoted entirely to bulk items. If the neighborhood store does not, call around to the bulk stores that require memberships and inquire as to the membership fees associated with each. If the differences are negligible, choose the store that's closest to home to save money on gas and make trips more convenient. . .. • Don't be skittish about senior discounts. While some seniors might scoff at taking advantage of senior discounts, such discounts are a great way to save money and making the most of them is nothing to be ashamed of. • Cook at home rather than eat out. Seniors don't have to try new restaurants in order to taste new cuisine. Visit the local library and check out some cookbooks to use in the comfort of y9ur own kitchen. Limit trips to restaurants to special occasions. • Invite the kids to your house. Seniors often can 't visit their kids and grandkids enough. Unfortunately, if the kids live far away, the cost of these visits can really add up. For seniors who live in warmer climates, invite the kids and grandkids to visit during the winter, offering a welcome .respite from the cold winter weather and a great chance to reconnect with family. / DID YOU KNOW...

(AP) D. J. Cooper scored a career-high 29 points and Armon Bassett had 25 to lead Ohio to a 99-84 victory over Northern Illinois Wednesday night. Three other Bobcats scored in double figures. Reggie Keely had 14 points, Tommy Freeman 13 and Kenneth Van Kempen had 11 points and nine rebounds. Ohio ( LL-9, 2-4 MidAmerican) broke away from a 63-63 game mid- osu from Page Bl Turner broke through with a long 3-pointer to help Ohio State pull even at 28, but he picked up his third foul with 15:29 left and had to be careful defensively the rest of the way. The Buckeyes then fell into a shooting funk, and the Hawkeyes stretched a slim lead to 42-36 on a pair of 3s by May with just under 10 minutes to go. Ohio State closed within two before May's 3 from the corner made it 50-45 Iowa with 4:46 left. But the Hawkeyes' inexperience was evident from then on, as Ohio State grabbed control shortly thereafter. May was the only Iowa player in double figures. Jarryd Cole scored nine points and grabbed five rebounds, and freshman Cully Payne added six assists and six rebounds. Iowa held Turner to 1-of3 shooting in the first half, and Payne cut through the lane for a nifty reverse scoop off the glass to help put the Hawkeyes ahead 2520 at halftime. Ohio State shot a some- Cavs from PageBl O'Neal and Anthony Parker rushed over to tend to their fallen teammate. But once they saw he was OK, the trio began tickling Gibson and Parker even pretended to revive him with chest compressions. Moments later, James playfully knocked the microphone away from the arena's p.a. announcer as he was promoting an upcoming event. During a timeout late in the fourth, James engaged in a dance-off with one of the arena's ushers. The Timberwolves played much better after being blown out by 33 and 27 points in their previous games, but lost their fifth in a row. James recorded another of his signature chase-down blocks in the first quarter. The latest victim was Brewer, who appeared to be on his way to an easy breakaway bucket when James raced down the floor, caught the unsuspecting swingman from behmd and Lofton from Page Bl under that period and hopefully they take that into account.'' Former Indians catcher Sandy Alomar believes voters should take a long look at Lofton's accomplishments before deciding on his Hall worthiness. "Kenny was a complete player. He was a five-tool guy," Alomar said. "Kenny could go deep and he took pride on the leadoff spot and playing his role. I think the voters have to realize that and they have to reward players for their abilities, not just for power numbers or RBis but for how well he played his role. For a time, he was the most dominant leadoff guy other than Rickey Henderson." Lofton, who had three stints with the Indians from 1991-2007, said it was a way through the second half. scoring 36 points in the game's final 9 I /2 minutes. The final margi,n or 15 was the Bobcats' largest lead. Xavier Silas' 31 points led all scorers for Northern Illinois (8-10, 4-2). Silas scored the first 15 points for the Huskies. Mike Dinunno scored 16 and Lee Fisher had I 0 points and nine rebounds for the Huskies, who lost despite owning a 48-38 rebounding edge in the game. what respectable 40 percent in the first half, but didn't hit a 3-pointer or a free throw until the second half. The fortunes of the inexperienced Hawkeyes had improved in the past two weeks after an ugly start to league play. Though they crumbled down the stretch, Wednesday's effort was yet another sign of progress for a team with four underclassmen in the starting lineup. The Hawkeyes snapped a four-game losing streak with a 67-62 home win over Tennessee State - a game they. were lucky to win and then beat Penn State 6764 for their first Big Ten victory. Iowa put a decent scare into No. 5 Michigan State on Jan. 20, closing within three late before falling 7063, and then pounded host Indiana 58-43 on Sunday. William Buford scored 11 points with eight rebounds and three assists for Ohio State, which fell at ninthranked West Virginia 71-65 on Saturday. The Buckeyes committed just five turnovers, shot 13of-l 7 from the free throw line in the second half and held Iowa's Aaron Fuller to six points on 2-of-11 shooting. swatted his shot out of bounds. Brewer's only reaction was a wide, what-can-youdo smile. The Cavaliers came out disinterested, a common theme for them when playing a lesser team. and found themselves in a four-point hole after a thunderous dunk by T-Wolves center Ryan Hollins. James finished the first quarter in a huff. Angered by a non-call on a drive, James was slapped with a technical by referee Derrick Stafford, prompting Cavs coach Mike Brown to pull his superstar to calm him down. James kicked his chair before taking a seat on the bench. By the time he checked back in, James was in a playful mood. He pulled off his sweat pants and threw them in the face Williams, who was seated at the scorer's table and being interviewed on the TV broadcast. The Cavs showed more collective fire in the second quarter, outscoring the Timberwolves 33-22 to open a 60-48 halftime lead. constant challenge not to expose players who· were not playing by the rules. "I felt that I did it the right way and always felt like the good guys always lose," he said. "1 just sat back and kept doing what I was doing. They always say things are going to come out in the light, and that's what happened.'' Lofton said his most memorable moment with the Indians came when he scored from second base on a passed ball in Game 6 of the 1995 ALCS, clinching Cleveland's first World Series appearance since 1954. It was also the play Alomar said defined Lofton. "He won the game by himself," Alomar said. "He was a winner and a postseason guy. The bigger the stage, the better he got. Everybody talks about home runs and things like that, but this guy was the igniter for this organization for many years.'' APp. South Carolina's Lakeem Jackson celebrates with fans after South Carolina upset Kentucky 68-62 in an NCAA coli basketball game Tuesday in Columbia, S.C. South Carolina's win over Kentucky to cost $25K COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina's first victory over a No. 1 team will cost $25,000. The Southeastern Conference fined South Carolina that amount Wednesday for violating league rules against permitting fans on the playing area followinQ a 68-62 victory over ~ top-ranked Kentucky on Tuesday night. As the game neared the end. security at the Colonial Life Arena held up a yellow rope to keep the people off the court. However, South Carolina guard Devan Downey urged students to join the players in celebration as time ran out. The Gamecocks had been 0-7 in the program·~ history against No. 1 teams before the Wildcat win. The scene was so crazy, Kentucky coach John Calipari headed straight for the locker room instead of walking to South Carolina's bench for the traditional postgame hand- shake. This was considered South Carolina's second such violation, the first coming five years ago after another win over Kentucky. "This policy is designed to create a safe environment for everyone who participates and attends our athletic contests," SEC commissioner Mike Slive said in a statement. ''The security and protection of our student athletes. coaches, officials and fans is our primary concern." The policy went into effect on Dec. 1, 2004, less than two weeks after a brawl involving players and fans during a game between the NBA's Indiana Pacers and Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills. and one day after another fight among players in a Clemson-South Carolina football game. A violation within the next three years, according to SEC policy, would bring South Carolina a $50.000 fine. South Carolina was last fined for storming the court in February 2005 after a 73-61 victory over then-No. 3 Kentucky. That penalty was $5,000. South Carolina athletic director Eric Hyman said after Tuesday's win he had messaged Slive to see if beating a No. I team earned him a discount on the expected fine. Hyman said he had fans coming up to him giving him $1 bills to help pay any fine. Hyman did not return a message from The Associated Press on Wednesday. However, in a statement, he praised the fans for their enthusiasm. calling the atmosphere at the arena "as exciting as any time since I've been here." "However. the SEC schools voted unanimously on the sportsmanship policy and subsequent fines for violating that policy, and we support it fully." he said. Hyman continued that while he was pleased with MORE LOCAL NEWS. MORE LOCAL FOLKS.

Danger seemed like the furthest thing from any South Carolina player or supporter's mind once time ran out. Do\\ ney pointed to the crowd. yelling "I told you so'' after the win. When asked about a potential SEC fine Tuesday night, he smiled and said, ''I'm pretty sure the university's got some money somewhere to pay the fine." On Wednesday, Downey acknowledged telling to join the players· ce tion. 'Tm not saying it's right. wrong or whatever, but when )OU beat a No. 1 team in the country. you want to remember that moment in a special way." he said. ''Yeah, I told them to come on the court."

The 1959-60 Ohio State Buckeyes were built around a group of "Super Sophs" featuring the nat1on's No. I recruit. Jerry Lucas. along with a perpetual-motion machine named John Havlicek. One or the top players off the bench brash and sure of himself even then - made a name for himself as a coach: Bob Knight. The) won Ohio State's only national championship m men's basketball. hitting 15 of their first 16 shots from the field and cruising to a 75-55 rout of California It was a perfect storm of talent. chemist~ and discipline gUJded b~ the masterful hand of second-year coach Fred Taylor. The) '11 come together again - perhaps for the last time - this weekend to celebrate their title. "I don't think people realize all of the things that that team accomplished." Taylor. who died in 2002. would say later. "And we never ever had a kid even close to flunking out. It was just a heck of a bunch to be around." The team grade-point average was 3 .b on a 4.0 scale. On the court, it was just as impressive , a\eraging a remarkable 90.4 points a game. The focal point was the 6foot-8 Lucas. who was good for 26.3 points and 16.4 rebounds a game and was the national player of the year. Hailing from a gritty, mdustrial town midway between Dayton and he led Cinci nnatl, Middletown Hi~h School to a 76-1 record m three sea· sons and was a prized catch for Ohio State's rookie coach. Lucas was an intense student m class and on the court. After a terrific pro career - he was "elected as one of the NBA's 50 greatc t players (along with Havlicek) in 1997 - he could recite I 0 pages of the New York Cit) telephone book or recall detailed facts about people in the studio audience at late-night talk shows. lt was much the same way he approached the game. "I never shot a shot in my life unless I asked myself why." he ~aid. "Why did that go in? Why did it do this or why did it do that'' I analyzed everything and tried to be as complete and intelligent an athlete as I could." His (literal) mnning mate at forward was the 6-5 Havlicek. He and the rest of the sophomores would go 78-6 in their college careers. Ha\ licek wa~ from the to" n of Lansing. across the Ohio Ri\er from Wheeling, W.Va. He was an J\11-0hioan in basketball. football and baseball. He liked the challenge of being surrounded by great players at Ohio State. "On this particular team. no one wanted to be considered the weak link," Havlicek said. "When you \\ere designated to do a JOb. you wanted to do it to the best of your ability." That willingness to raise his game would pay dividends after his college career when he would be an integral part of eight f\B \ titles as an iconic Boston Celtic. \nother sophomore.

Like Siegfried and Roberts. he bore no ill will toward the upstarts who took over the team. Rather than complain or bide his time. he thre\\ him ...elf into being a valued pla)er off the bench. "I decided I had to make the best of it and play the sixth man:· he sa1d later. "And I felt I reall) contributed.''
