Davenport said several factors are expected to affect the county budget process, pruticularl} the costs associated with three pending murder cases. He said the costs of those trials, including the costs associated with defense attorneys for the four charged in the cases. BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY Meigs County Commissioners approved a proposed $4 .l million general fund budget for 2010 at Thursday's regular meeting. The budget will be submitted to Auditor Mary Byer-H ill and then to the Ohio Auditor of State. President Mick Davenport said the budget projection -----Pomeroy reports .thefts, accidents will ..cost the county a great deal," but the costs cannot be readily determined. The county's budget commission. made up of ByerHill, Treasurer Peggy Yost and Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Williams, will begin the budget process for 2010 in earnest in October. At that time, Davenport said, county officials and the board will have a better understanding of projected costs and estimated revenue. The budget is not adopted until early in the new year. In other business, commissioners also approved a transfer of funds totaling $35,000 as requested by Sheriff Robert Beegle. The transfers were $30,000 from his housing line into salaries. and $5,000 from medical expenses into salaries. Davenport said costs associated with the murder trials is also hitting the sheriff's budget with unexpected expenses.

At Thursday's regular meeting of r-..Ietgs County Commissioners, Don Poole, general manager of the district, and Michelle Hyer of the Buckeye Hills-Hocking Valley Regional Development District, conducted a public hearing on the district's application for funds through the Community Development Block Grant water and sewer grant program. Commissioners approved a $500,000 application through the CDBG program. and pledged their support. If approved, the grant will allow the district to add customers on Peachfork Road, Wolf Pen Road, Ball Run Road, Arnold Road, and Bunker Hill Road in Bedford Township. Riebel Road in Chester Township. Tanners Run Road near Racine, and Troy Township Road 119 in Athens County. The district has already received grant and loan funds from other sources for the $1 .5 million expansion project. but Poole said yesterda) the project will not likely go forward unless the CDBG application is approved, because the rate structure for customers would be cost prohibitive. Poole said the district has a policy of requiring only customers in an expansion area to pay the costs of that expansion. Without the CDBG grant. those customers would face a monthly minimum bill of around $35. and that would be too much for the customers in the area to pay. since 62 percent are low to moderate income. The planned expansion areas are also at a relative!) high elevation, and will require the installation of a $100,000 pump before any additional work can begin. Poole said. Poole said testing of \\·ell • water in those areas considered for expansion revealed that 75 percent \\'ere contaminated with coliform. and 37 percent withE coli. Coliform itself is harmless when con sumed, Poole said. but it does often indi~.:ate the presence of other more dangerous. contaminants . �Page.A2 The Daily Sentinel ANNIE'S MAILBOX HeS content, so just leave him BY KATHY MITCHELL AND MARCY SUGAR Dear Annie: mct •·(iel)rgc" 12 ye.1rs ago. and we began .1 relationship.

That seemed to be the only thtng United Methodists were talkmg about the year that the Rev James V. Heidinger II took command at Good News, a national movement for his church's evangelicals. That was in 1981. ''Every time we turned around we were arguing about sex, and homosexuality in particular." said Heidinger. who retired last week "Frankly. I was <llread) weary of it and that \..·us u long, long time ago. We wanted to get on to more positive things. like missions and church growth .... Yet here we are years later. still arguing about sex ... Two events defined that Bishop era. Colorado Melvin Wheatley Jr.. defied 1 his colleagues in 1980 by rejecting a church polic) stating that homosexual acts were "incompatible with Christian teaching.'' Then, in 1982, he appointed an openly gay pastor in Denver. When challenged. Wheatley said: "Homosexuality is a mysteriou~ gift of God's grace. I clearly do not believe homosexuality is a sin ." The most · important word in that statement was "sin." explained Heidinger. The fu ndamentaJ issue at stake was whether United Methodists could find unity on basic doctrines - like whether sex outside of marriage was ''sin." This, of course. raised another is~ue: What does "maniage" mc~m? Terry Mattingly Liberals kept quoting a statement added to the church's Book of Discipline in the 1970s affirming "theological pluralisp1" a~ an essential element of United Methodist life. Then conservatives managed to have "theological ~ pluralism" removed in 1988, and Jan· guage affirming the "prima· cy of scripture·· added. "That started a lively debate about the role of doctrine." said Heidinger. ·'Until then. it seemed like you could believe anything you wanted to believe and still be a Methodist. ... Want to say the resurrection of Jesus is a myth? That was fine, because of 'theological pluralism."' Meanwhile. United Methodists were learning other complex and painft~ truths about their church, long known as the quintessential Middle American flock . In the mid-19th century, 34 percent of all believers in country. were the Methodists.

An SUV rolled by. decorated with a map of Sanford's world 169 miles to Columbia, the state capital, and 4,935 miles to Buenos Aires. Another float urged people to visit Sou lMate.gov, which, it turns out, is an amusing joke but not a real Web site. Meanwhile, a few miles up Highway 17. Katon Dawson, until recently head of the South Carolina Republican Party, was conducting an informal poll about Sanford in the checkout line at Piggly Wiggly, the local grocery store. "The feeling was overwhelming that he should resign," Dawson said. "People say he's lost his effectiveness, and they're just getting tired of it." A more scientific survey, taken in early July for a Charleston television station, showed that 69 percent of respondents believe Sanford should quit. So far, they're not getting their With Jenny."

Does avoidance really work? Especially if you really care about the person with whom you have the conflict and want to maintain a relationship. Pastor John Piper (from "Desiring God" on radioffV) wrote a devotional on this topic. and in another example of God's timing, I read it Wednesday morning just as all the teen anguish boiled over and was brpught to my attention. Piper's devotional starts w1th Luke 18:9: "Jesus told this parable to some who CHURCH WELCOMES NEW PASTOR POMEROY- The Rev.

It \vas so thick that m} partner and I had to tie handkerchiefs around our mouths and noses so we could breathe. Our clothes were red. caked with dust, as were our faces and our hair. Even my hat couldn't keep it out. We were on our way to a village in the v. ild parts of Ghana in West Africa to speak and lead a rural pastors' conference over the course of several days. At one point. before we set out. we had been told that it would only take a few hours to get to our destination. As we left Accra. Ghana's capital city, we again asked Ntim (pronounced "in-tim"), our driver and my interpreter, just how long it would take us to get to the village. ·'Oh. it's just here," he replied. waving his hand vaguely towards the north. "Just here.'' And then Ntim smiled encouragingly at us. In America. when someone says. ''It's just here," he generally means that it isn ·t far away. I have found, however. that concepts of time and distance in Africa aren't so easily nailed down. We drove . . . and drove ... ,and drove. We eventually ran out of daylight and continued to drive on through the inky darkness of African night. Every so often we would ask variations of "How much farther is it to the village?" and the reply was always the same. "It's just here. Just here." While there was still light. we could see him pointing in what l suspect was a random direction but it might have been right for all I knew. And then. when it was dark, we could no longer see him pointing or smiling. We simply envisioned it. In fact. when it was abundantly clear that we were lost. we kept asking how much longer until we would arrive just to tease him. Thirteen hours after we left Accra. we finally reached the village in which we were to live and work for the next several days. Those who were expecting us did not seem to notice how late we were (again perhaps reflecting a different mindset than I'm accustomed to by people in the ments we need to persevere in hope and faith. Albeit. they are often not WHERE we look to find them and generally not WHEN would like to have them but they are always to us in the fo·rms that most deeply do for us v. hat our eternal Father desires and arrive when we most genuinely need them. ··Lord. how much farther must I eo before I reach the destination'?" we inquire of the Lord. And He gently says to us, "[t's just here, child. Just here.'' And we keep on walking through our valleys and over our mountain tops. never quite ablt! to see too far ahead. This is how He keeps us looking to Him for daily Quidance and daily provision (spiritually and physically). · ..Do not worry . . . for those who do not know the Lord run after their worries and your Father already knows \Vhat you need. Instead, seek first God'. will for your life as yo strive to obey His Word. and He will see to it that you have all that you need'' (adapted from Matthew 6:31-33). So watch out that you remember WHY God sometimes allows pain and sorfO\'- to appear in your life. Remember WHY He permits what seems to be a legion of uncertainties to buu around you. Remember and do not lose heat1 or focus. Those who do not know the Lord can be expected to give up and turn back. But if He truly is your Savior. then there is rfo chance that He could ever forget you or forsake you. ''May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless the coming of our Lor Jesus Christ. The One Who calls you is faithful and He will do if' (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 NIV). Pastor Thorn Mollohan United States when I am running even just a few minutes late). They helped us to settle in and made us feel right at home right away. Ironically. when our conference was over and we headed back to the city. it took us only about three hours to get there. I guess that Ntim was right: it really WAS "just here." What this has taught me is that while waiting on God can seem like a hard thing to do. His presence and His blessings are alway~ ''just here ., They are on the road ahead and God. who can see the landscape of our lives infinitely in every direction. is going to be sure that we ultimately arrive at the destination that He has promised us as His children. On the one hand. I mean heaven. What He has 'done through His Son. Jesus Christ, on the cross is completely sattsf}ing when it comes to resolvmg the pondermis we1ght of shame and the atrocity of sin in each of our hem1s (and. yes. I mean EACH of our hearts - see Romans 3:23). And it's a good thing. too. After all. God's Word says that sin's fruit for us is nothing less than spiritual death - separation from God forever (see Romans 6:23). But His gift to us. through our genuinely placing our absolute faith in His Son as Lord and Sav1or. is etemal life - an eternal home with Him (also from Romans 6:23). ··Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in Me. In My Father's house are many rooms: if it were not so. I would have told you, I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you. I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am" (said Jesus in John 14:1 -3 NIV).

WASHINGTON (AP) rThe Pentagon and Congress all but dared each other Thursday to a showdown over funding for fighter jets in a multimillion-dollar squabble that each side said they were fighting in the interests of U.S. security. The Democratic chainnan of a ' key House Appropriations panel said he's confident that plans to add $369 million to the Pentagon's budget for a dozen more F-22 jets will survive a White House veto threat. "We'll work it out,'' said Rep. John Murtha of Pennsylvania, head of the House Appropriations defense subcommittee. "In the· end, the bill won't be vetoed." • In Chicago. Defense Secretary Robert Gates accused lawmakers of overspending on · milit81) toy~ instead of focusing on how to defend the U.S. against strategic threats like weapons of mass destruction and cyber attacks. "If the Department of Defense can't figure out a way to defend the United States of America on a budget of more than half a trillion dollars a year. then our problems are much bigger than anything that can be cured by buying a few more ships or planes," Gates said in a wry and sometimes stinging address to the Economic Club of Chicago. Murtha's panel added the multimillion-dollar down payment for 12 more F-22 fighter jets to the Pentagon's $534 billion spending plan for 2010. Lawmakers also agreed to spend $560 million for an alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter. The White House has said it will veto both actions. Reports from Page At Honor.

The Senate is expected to vote next week on the spending plan. and Gates said Thursday it is too close right now to predict the outcome. In his strongest words on the squabble so far, Gates urged Congress anew to move. out of what he descnbed as a Cold War mentality of big Pentagon budgets. "If we can't get this right. what on Earth can we get right?" Gates s~d. "It is ti!lle to .draw ~e hne on domg defe~se busmess as usual. The prestdent has drawn that lme.

Murtha's optimism sends a signal to the administration that Democrats want to engage in a compromise negotiation on the tighter jet issue. industry analysts say. Any concession won't mean buying 20 more planes but perhaps ordering fewer jets over .several years to gradually close the production line. said defense consultant Jim Mci\leese.

Scotland (AP) - On the eve of the British Open. Tom Watson got a modern-day text message from Jack Nicklaus' wife. Then it was time to turn back the clock at Turn berry. Thirty-two years after his epic ''Duel in the Sun" with the Golden Bear, Watson took advantage of pristine conditions on the very same course to shoot a stunning Sunder 65 on Thursday. He held the lead until Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez stole it away late in the day with a 64, only one shot off the meant it. It's not the same without Jack playing in the tournament.'' Nicklaus played his, final British Open at St. Andrews in 2005 and faded into retirement. But the guy who beat him at Turnberry in '77 - with a 65 on the final day, no less - still has a few shots left. Watson kept the ball in the fairway. rolled m five birdies and bailed himself out the few times he got into trouble, including a testy 6-footer at the final hole to preserve a bogey-free round.

BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP BASKETBALL WRITER LeBron James was more Don King than Kin-g James as he faced the cameras to promote the huge event planned for next summer. "I think July I, 2010, is a very big day." he smd last November. "It's probably going to be one of the biggest days in free-agent history in the NBA.'' Unless James and his pals call the whole thing off. The Cleveland Cavaliers can offer the NBA's MVP a contract · extension Saturday, shortly after fellow potential 2010 free agents Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh became eligible to receive theirs on the three-year anniversary of the signing of their last deals. If all three accepted .. it would halt the talk of next .. year boasting the deepest free-agent class in league history. Miami presented Wade with his offer immediately. Toronto president Bryan Colangelo intends to offer Bosh the extension but has indicated he will wait until after he has filled out the Raptors' roster for next season. None are expected to sign - they can re-up for longer and make mill ions more by waiting a year but the agent for Bosh and Wade will study them. "I will just say that I will evaluate everything about any extension offers they receive," Henry Thomas wrote in an e-r;nail. "It is simply an option that will be evaluated and considered." James' agent, Leon Rose, didn't return a request for comment. James didn't give the impression he was thinking about an extension when he made his prediction last fall. That was back \\hen the 20 l 0 free agency frenzy was at its peak, with James playing in New York only days after the Knicks had boldly positiOned themselves for a run at him with a pair of trades that opened up loads of salary cap room.

The economic downturn and· the resulting drop in revenues have sent forecasts for the 20 I0 11 salary cap tumbling, with the NBA warning teams it could come in some $10 million lower than the $6263 million that was previously expected.

McNair, who led the Tennessee Titans within a yard of forcing overtime in the 2000 Superbowl and led the Baltimore Ravens to the playoffs, has been shot and killed on Saturday, July 4. McNair's death ignites infidelity discussions NASHV ILLE, Tenn. (AP) The shocking death of former NFL quarterback Steve McNair and infidelity among sports stars is the main topic of discussion among families of professional athletes. ''They can't take their mind off it,'' said Tisha DeShields. ex-wife of former major leaguer Deline DeShields. Md\air had been married 12 years before he was shot to death on July 4 at his condo by 20-yearold Sahel Kazemi. who then turned the gun on herself Police said Kazemi was strugglmg financially and suspected McNair might be involved with another lover. DeShie,Ids. a 38-year-old Atlanta businesswoman who dhorced her husband after discovering his seven-year affair, remains friends with a number of male pro athletes and their wives. She said that McNau·'s death is what they've been discussing. ''If this \\as a banker down the street. then it would just be the banker down the street:' she said. "But this was one of their own. their colleague. someone they respected." One question that comes up 1s will any of the athletes learn from the tragedy. Dr. Sherry Blake called McNair's death "a wake up call" for players. but she expects most eventually will forget about the murder-suicide and return to their old habits. , "Many players have had extra affairs for years." said Blake, a clinical psychologist who practices in the Atlanta area and has coun~eled athletes and entertainers about the temptations of drugs, alcohol and women. Some affairs involving marquee players have played out in pub I ic. ln 2003. NBA star Kobe Bryant then 24 admitted to adultery. when accused of sexually as~aulting a 19-year-old woman who worked at the exclusive Colorado spa where Bryant was staying for knee surgery. That case later was dismissed. Last year, Cynthia Rodriguez divorced Yankees star Aiex Rodriguez after allegations of repeated infidelity. One way to possibly get athletes to heed the warnings of experts is for the advice to come from their peers. Chris Sanders, who played with McNair, says he should have been more involved in the personal life of his one-time teammate.

"Maybe it was something I could have said. or maybe it was something I could have did, instead of just talking about football. Maybe the Situation would have been different." Sanders said most of pro leagues have ·'player development programs.'' designed to help with certain personal aspects of their lives. such as finances. But he said the programs don't deal enough with relationships or marriage. The NFL discusses the potenual risks in personal relationships at its annual rookie symposium each June. Each club can access the Life Skills options that include programs for managing relationships and \ iolence against women. "Relationship management is a critical part of what we do in Player De\elopment," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello wrote in an e-mail. The 36-year-old McNair was an NFL veteran who had retired just 9 months before meeting Kazemi. Blake said pro athletes - particular!) retirees often seek women to validate ·'they stiJl got it ... although they may have the perfect set up at home." In seeking out such women. Steven Ortiz. an associate professor of sociology at Oregon State University. said pro athletes often fall victim to groupies - women who make themselves accessible to the players - and who can be quite persistent. "It's like a fast-food sex mentality," said Orti7. who interviewed 47 wives of pro athletes over a fouryear period and is currently writing a book based on his findings. OrtiL also said many pro athletes' Jesire to commit adultery stems from the preferential treatment they've received most of their lives. · ''I call this the spoiled athlete syndrome," he said. "Part of the syndrome has to do with the idea that they are above any responsibility for their actions off the field.'' Victor Winfrey. a former tight end for the Philadelphia Eagles, agreed. "Whenever you· re dealing with men who have been put up on a pedestal and told that they're the greatest thing, and always have been admired by people, there's ... a sense of entitlement to whatever you want,'' he said . " It's no different than some politicians." VITTEL, France (AP) Lance Annstrong is ready to climb again, ready to leave the pack at the Tour de France after days of flat riding that belonged to sprinters. After three days of sitting back in the main pack while others challenged for stage wins, the worst thing to happen to Armstrong was a small puncture to his back tire on Thursday's 12th stage. Nicki Sorensen of Denmark won it. Rinaldo Nocentini of Italy kept the yellow jersey. and Armstrong's tire was repaired within a flash . Finally, on Friday. it's back to serious business as Armstrong goes up against his Astana teammate Alberto Contador on a tricky trek that features one grueling mountain climb. "Tomonow is hard, that is a real stage." Armstrong said Thursday. "The climb up Col du Platzerwasel is difficult, it is a long way. It is a longer day and anything can happen." Armstrong. who retired after his seventh straight Tour win in 2005 only to stun the cycling world by announcing he would race again this year, expects some of the Tour contenders to make their move on Friday. "You have to watch all the rivals. even someone like (Denis) Menchov," Armstrong said of the Giro d 'ltalia winner. "Some might say he is five or six minutes behind and his race is fi nished. but if he gains back time. he has the Alps . and then if he is c lose enough on the (Mont) Ventoux. he could present a problem." Armstrong briefly looked to be in trouble after about 37 miles on Thursday. when he had to pull over to let his Astana team repair a puncture in his back wheel. But after a few moments. four of Armstrong's teammates helped him catch up wtth the main pack again. ·•up and down all day AP photo Astana teammates American Levi Leipheimer, American seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong, and Alberto Contador of Spain, from left to right, climb towards Col de Port , France, during the 8th stage of the Tour de France cycling race. long and was aggressive from the start,'' Armstrong said on his Twitter feed. Although Nocentini will keep the yellow jersey heading into Friday's 13th stage, he is not considered a threat for overall victory and seemed to be saying he's done the best he can. "It's a tough stage tomorrow but I'm already really happy," Nocentini said. He leads Contador by only six seconds and Armstrong by eight. "We are approaching the really hard stages." Contador said. "It will be a hard day (Friday). Then we will see how things develop with the uphill finish (to Verbier) on Sunday. In theary I should be OK. because it's up to the others to attack." Those 'others' are merely the 2008 Tour winner Carlos Sastre. two-time Tour runner-up Cadel Evans. and Andy Schleck - all of whom are lurking behmd Contador and Armstrong. Schleck is within two minutes of Nocentini ·s lead. Sastre trails by 2 minutes, 52 seconds, and Evans is 3:07 behind Nocentini. They could well choose to launch an attack on Friday's 124.2-mile ride between Vittcl and Colmar, which also featurtJs a tough climb up the Col de Ia Schlucht. "I would put Carlos. the Schleck brothers and Evans in the most dangerous category." Armstrong said. On Thursday, Sorensen earned the first stage win of his Tour career by breaking away and finishing well ahead of Laurent Lefevre. Sorensen was part of a small group of seven dders that finished several minutes ahead of the main pack after foraging ahead unchallenged during the 131.4mile trek from Tonnene to Vtttel. which featured six small hills. The Danish \eteran. after years as a support rider in Bjarne Riis' team. finished 48 seconds ahead of Lefevre.

And Jarmon figures he gets an early jump on his professional career after being declared ineligible for his senior season by the NCAA because he tested positive for a banned substance. ''There's been a lot of ups and downs . ... I was real disappointed at the time, when the ruling came out. That was definitely one of the low points, if not the lowest point. of my life so far," Jarmon said in a conference call with reporters. "But I started to get over it." The 6-foot-3, 277-pound Jarmon is the first player the Redskins have taken with a supplemental selection. The team relinquishes its thirdround pick in the 20 I 0 NFL draft. Washington executive vice president of football operations Vinny Cerrato thinks Jarmon would have been taken in the second round if he'd remained in school for his senior year. Cerrato called Thursday's choice "a chance to get a quality player at a quality price," and noted that other teams indicated they would have tried to take Jarmon in the fourth round of the supplemental draft. Cenato said Jarmon will play left defensive end. the same primary position played by Brian Orakpo . Washington ·s top pick in April. Getting Jarmon is the latest move aimed at upgrading a pass rush that ranked last in the NFC in 2008 with only 24 sacks. Washington began free agency. by landing All-Pro defens1ve tackle Albert Haynesworth, then drafted Orakpo. Jannon was the only player drafted in Thursday's special selection process. which was conducted electronically by the league from its New York headquarters. Jarmon had nine sacks in 13 games last season and was fourth on Kentu9ky with 62 tackles, 13 1/2 for loss. He had 17 1/2 sacks in three seasons. third-most in Kentucky history. Cerrato said that Jarmon "has a great lower body. needs to get stronger in the upper body."

Gretzky agrees to give deposition in Coyotes case PHOENIX (AP)- Wayne Gretzky has agreed to give a deposition in the fight in U.S. Bankruptcy Court over who will own the Phoenix Coyotes and where the team will play. . The former hockey standout, who coaches the team and owns a small share of it. reached an agreement with the city of Glendale over the deposition and the sharing of documents. Gretzky attorney Jonathan Ibsen said the date and location of the deposition have not been determmed. Gretzk~ had objected to Glendale s motion to receive his tax records. The documents that will be supplied will be only those that apply to the Coyotes, Ibsen said. Gretzky's deposition, as well as others in the case and the documents to be shared, can be kept confidential under an agreement reached I by all parties in the dispute and presented to Judge Redfield T., Baum on Thursday. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly are to give depositions next Wednesdav and Thursday in New York.~ A group that includes Jerry Reinsdorf, owner of baseball's Chicago White Sox and the NBA's Chicago Bulls. has told the NHL it wants to buy the team for $ 148 million and keep it in Arizona. The group has until July 24 to submit its bid to the court. Baum rejected a request by attorneys for team owner Jerry Moyes to subject Reinsdorf and others in the proposed ownership group to depositions. The judge said he didn't want to make it more difficult for a proposed bidder to make an offer to buy the team. Baum did say he would allow depositions of two members of the Reinsdorf group after any bid is submitted. A second group, headed by Canadian-born businessman Daryl Jones, has expressed interest in buyin~ the team and keeping it in Anzona. Jones. head of Connecticutbased Research Edae LLC. told the Hamilton Spectator newspaper this week that "We continue to get more interested the more work we do so far." He also said he would want Gretzky involved in the venture. · Moyes took the team into Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 5, to the surprise of the NHL. with a plan to sell the franchise to Canadian BlackBerry magnate Jim Balsillie for $212.5 million. Balsillie's proposal was contingent on moving the team to Hamilton, Ontruio. Baum rejected Balsillie ·s • proposal. saying the complex. tssues m the case could not be resolved bv the Canadian's self-imposed June 22 deadline.

Busch said he was starting to lose faith 'in Johnson's "ability to be a three-time champion on the track."

What he learned from Hayes was not to worry about being popular with his players. "Your obligation is to make them the best you possibly can and to have high standards, not lower the standards. and to believe in people." Holtz said. - Former Notre Dame split end Derrick Mayes said the key to Holtz's success was his ability to inspire. "Let's face it. it wasn't the X's and O's," Mayes said. "There were many times he'd throw the playbook out the window and say, 'We're going to hit them in the mouth, knock them in the dirt."' Holtz's greatest trait was his ability to rally players and get them to believe in one another, Mayes said. "It transcended the talent level. I don't think he always had the most talented team. He had teams that played together, worked together and often times those are teams that win Friday, July 17, www.mydailysentinel.com more. I think that's h1s genius," he said. A year ago, former players of Holtz formed "Lou's Lads." Mayes said the nonprofit organization initially wants to raise money for former Holtz players who can't afford to send their children to college, but hope to expand the scholarship program to others and get involved in community service. The idea is to follow in the footsteps of "Leahy's Lads," a group of former Irish players who played under coach Frank Leahy from 1941-43 and 1946-53 who decided to raise money for a statue of their coach. They later raised money for scholarships. "Coach Holtz says the resources we need in life are right under our noses. But it's up to us to cultivate and maintain those relationships," Mayes said. "That's really the vision behind it all." Holtz loves the idea, saying he tried to teach his players they owed something for what they'd been given. "I tried to teach them that where they can't always repay people, they can certamly pay forward to other people," he said. Golf Gallipolis tied for second with matching 64s.

But this isn't the first time he's come up with some opening-day magic srnce joining the senior circuit. At thl! 2003. U.S. Open. Watson led after the first round at Olympia Fields with ailing Bruce Edwards on the bag. The tears flowed freely after Watson shot a 65; his ongtime caddie died less than a vear later from Lou Gehrig·~ Disease. This week. Watson has been reminded of a more pleasant experience - his showdown with Nicklaus when the British Open first came to historic Turnberry. Watson held on to win by a stroke on a sun splashed day in what was essentially a match-play format over the final I 8 holes. "1 don't live in the past." Watson said. ·:But certainly that has been at the forefront of a lot of conversations fo: me this week . A lot of people have been congratulating me for '77. and they remember it, ' too. It's also amazing there's a lot of kids in the tournament who were not C\ en born in 1977.'' . That includes one of Watson's playing partner~. 16-year-old Italian amateur Matteo Manassero. the youngest player in the field. Watson is the oldest. With red numbers there for the taking. Americans Stewart Cink and Steve Stricker, Australians John Senden and Mathew Goggin, and Camilo Villegas of Colombia put up 66s. With a handful of players still on the course. there already were 43 scores m the 60s. To get old-timer's theme rolling. 49-year-old Mark Calcavecchia. the J989 Open champion, went out in the first group of the day with his wife on the bag and shot 67. He was matched by 52year-old Mark O'Meara .• '98 winner v.ho now pi on the Champions Tour. and three-time major champion Vijay Singh. the kid of that group at 46. The group at 67 also included former ~1asters champion Mike Weir. two-time U.S. Open winner Retief Goosen and down-home American Boo Weekle\. Some of the young guns struggled. most notably 24year-old Anthon:y Kim. The emotional leader of America's • winning Ryder Cup team took a 9 at the second hole. hit another ball in the water and struggled with an upper-back injury. requiring treatment on the course. He finished with a 73 and will need to really to make the ct.lt. Don't forget Padraig Harrington. trying to become the first player since Peter Thomson · · 1954-56 to win the 0 three years in a fO\\ . 1 Irishman quietly went about h1s v. ork. tapping in for a 69 that was an improvement on his shaky pla) this year while he attempts to make changes in his swin!!. It wasn \"t all fun and games for the senior set. Norman failed to follow up his stirring performance Jast year, when he was 1.8 holes away from becoming the oldest major champion in golf history. The Shark looked every bit his age. now 54. struggling to a 77 that left hun likely to miss the cut. from PageBl Irish Sea the world's No. 1 player struggled to a 71 with one wayward shot after another. He even dunked h'is ball in Wilson's Burn. which led to the last of his four bogeys at No 16. "I certain!) made a few mistakes out there:· said Woods. facing the largest 18-hole deficit of his Open career. "Realisticallv. I probably should have· shot about 1- or 2-under par." When the round ended. Woods headed back to the range to work on his swing. which looked downright ugly with his right hand flying off the club. His first signs of frustration emerged at No. 3. when he took an angry sw1pe and mumbled something under his breath. By the time the day was done. he had angrily tossed away his clubs several times. Six years ago. Curtis was virtually unknown except to family and friends when he won the claret jug on his first try. He mbsed the cut on his next three attempts. but has finished in the top 10 at the Open the last two years. Now, he's confident of makmg a run at another Open championship. "You don't win it once and not be able to do it again," he said. "The last couple of years have been good for me, and this week I got off to a good stat1." Curtis overcame a pair of bogeys with an eagle at the par·5 seventh and birdies on four of his last six holes. He finished with a routine twoputt par at No. 18. walking off tied for the top spot.

You boogie inlo four spades. West leads lhe club king, promISing !he queen as well. What would you do?To make life easier spades are 2-1. You could los~ four tricks: one heart, two diamonds and one club. But you could get lucky. In hearts, East might have King-doubleton or West could have the king. In diamonds, Easl could hold the ace. However, what if everything 1s bad - Easl has king-third of hearts (so must get 1n 1! you establish that suit) and West has the diamond ace (so a diamond shift from East when m with his heart trick is lethal)? You need to use lhe power of dummy's club 1ack 10 catch West 1n an endplay. but you must time everything perfectly. Take trick one with your club ace, cash the spade ace, lead a high spade lo dummy's king (so that you have another dummy entry if necessary), and play a hea1 to your jack. If it loses. you can establish dummy's hea1 swt. Here, though. it wins. Now cash the heart ace. If the king drops, you collecl 12 tricks. Here, though. the king does riot appear. No problem- exit with your last club. West takes the trick with h1s queen but is trapped. He must play on diamonds to stop overtncks.

Last week: The only driver with four victories this year is Mark Martin, and it's because he's got more sense than all the drivers he's racing. Martin had a dominant car, but this was the second time (Michigan being the other) he's won because :-r he kept a cooler head than those in front of him. Oddly enough, both races had the word ·ufeLock' in the title. In the UfeLock 400 at • Michigan, Martin resisted the temptation to speed up while two oth· ers. Jimmie Johnson and Greg Bif· fle, couldn't. They ran out of gas. In the Ufelock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, Martin watched Denny Hamlin and Brian Vickers tangle in front of him. He seized the advantage and never looked back. By every possible measure, this victory was richly deserved. Jeff Gordon finished sec· ond, but his gains were minimal as Sprint Cup points leac er Tony Stew· art finished fourth behind Kasey Kahne. The plot of races on intermediate tracks is unerring. After a flurry of early activiity, everything settles down for the next two hours, with most passes made in pit sequences. Then, near the end. caution flags start flying. All the calm of two hours evaporates, and everyone starts beating and banging. Martin and Gordon, by the way, also finished 1-2 in the earlier LifeLock 400.

But that's only his driving career. The younger brother of NASCAR great and Fox television analyst Darrell Waltrip owns his own team. Last week he announced that Martin Truex Jr. will essentially replace him, though Michael will continue to drive the No. SS Toyota in 4-10 races next year. Truex will drive No. 56 full time. Darrell Waltrip won 84 races in the series now known as Sprint Cup. Michael has won four, but he has won the Daytona 500 twice, once more than Darrell. "When I was born, my brother was 16 years old, and all I've ever known my whole life is running up and down the road going to races," said Michael. "From a very young age, I knew exactly what I wanted to be: I wanted to be a race-car driver, just like my big brother." At present, Michael Waltrip ranks 31st in the Sprint Cup standings. He finished 20th in the LifeLock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway. His most recent victory occurred in Talladega, Ala., on Sept. 28, 2003. He also won what is now the Sprint All-Star Race at Lowe's Motor Speedway (Concord, N.C.) in 1996. Truex will move at season's end, apparently, from Earnhardt Ganassi Racing. "I'm turning my car over to a guy whom I think can go win the championship," said Waltrip. ''I've always said ... (that) if I wasn't the guy to go race it on Sunday, somebody else would take my place. "Martin (Truex) is the right guy to take over my car and go win races in it. ... I didn't have to quit. I didn't need to quit. I just wanted to do this for ... the sponsors, and NAPA has been the greatest sponsor I could ever have, u s Kurt Busch vs. Jimmie Johnson Kurt Busch vs. Jimmie Johnson: Late in the LifeLock.com 400, Busch apparently took exception to a bump between his Dodge and Johnson's Chevrolet. He then seemed to veer into Johnson's car. Busch's car was the worse for wear. He finished 17th; Johnson was eighth. Busch accused Johnson of conduct unbefitting a three-time champion. Johnson said Busch ·body-slammed" him. NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton gives his take: ·crushing disappoint· ment often bnngs out the worst in both Busch brothers."

I think he wishes they could work out things at DEl, which was one of his daddy's dreams. I just read in the paper where Richard Childress' cars are not doing well either.

Waltrip, 46, presently fields Toyotas for himself, David Reutimann andj through a cooperative relationship, Marcos Ambrose. Reutimann won the rain-shortened Coca-Cola 600 on May 25 at Lowe's Motor Speedway. .. Dear NASCAR This Week, I am proud to be a NASCAR fan. The Memorial Day ceremony was one to be very proud of. They did a great job. Now this is a word for Kyle Busch's guitar smashing: Grow up. NASCAR and your boss should be ashamed of you. Please don't ruin a great sport. I know he is a good driver. but why such a fast car every week? Do the officials check his car out? Birney April Millville, N.J.

No part of the stimulus money will be coming to the Meigs Agency for the cost of congregate meals served at the Senior Center. The overall goal ·of the hospital-to-home program, as described in an AAA8 brochure, is "a smooth transition from in-patient to inhome; it is a warm hand-off from one level of care to another establishing a true continuum:-" The AAA8 Hospital-to-Home program will compliment the existing services provided by the hospital discharge planner. The new funding will allow AAA8 to partner with local hospitals and pilot a shortterm home-delivered meal program for individuals who are 60 years of age or over who are discharged from the hospital and are unable to prepare meals for themselves. According to the Area Agency, participants will receive five home delivered meals per week for up to four weeks. At the end of the four weeks, if the patient is still unable to care for themselves, a second assessment will be performed and a new care plan developed. m Aging services Southeastern Ohio have been hit hard by rising food costs at a time when demand for services is increasing due to the economic downturn and there is a growing number of older adults. The feder: 1' funds, it has been repo ~.L are designed for providing meals to seniors in need, to restore nutrition services which may have been cut, and to restore positions which may have been eliminated or reduced due to those cuts. Good nutrition has always played a role in seniors maintaining their health and independence. Shaver said the congregate meals and the home delivered meals to homebound seniors here is a vital part of keeping seniors in their homes and out of costly nursing homes. Last year the Meigs County Council on Aging delivered 16,585 meals. At the Center there were 7 ,218 congregate meals served. Shaver lists the total cost for nutrition services in 2008 as $350 A53 . Revenue for that program included Title ill and NSIP of $68 ,567, with the remaining $281 ,886 corning from levy proceeds, fund raising by volunteers, contributions, catering programs, and other project income. ~BERKLINE® If a'!Yone deserves it, you do.

Senior Quarterly Friday, July 17,2009 • ADVANTAGES TO 55+ LIVING Look around many of the suburban areas, and you are likely to find age-restricted communities catering to adults who have hit the magical age of 55. At this age you may be thinking of retirement or are ready to put in a few more years on the job. What you may be looking for is a home that is less maintenance, affordable, meets your needs (instead of the needs of kids who have long left the nest), and offers convenience items all in one package. That is ju t what 55+ communities, also known in some places as "active adult" or "lifestyle communities," offer. Forget preconceived notions about "senior living." The e are not nursing homes or assisted living facilities. They are simply subdevelopments that traditionally offer affordably priced living and amenities to an age-restricted group. Some communitie~ will even allow individuals ages 18 and older to live in the .homes, provided there is at least one other individual in residence who meets the age requirement. 55+ housing offers many advantages to interested individuals: • Cost factor: Many 55+ homes are priced considerably lower than homes of similar sizes that are not in age-restricted communities. For individuals on a fixed salary or preparing for retirement, this feature alone can be a major advantage for purchase. • Proximity to friends and family: Active adult homes are cropping up in suburban areas all around the country. Their popularity and availability has grown as more b~by S7EPP MONUMEN7 CO. • boomers reach age 55. Becau e of this, individuals can still live close to friends and family - and continue all of their social visits - but have the convenience of adult living. • Amazing amenities: Active adult communities are more than just homes. They typically are built on a sprawling campus complete with clubhouse, pools, exercise rooms, and nature trails. Most offer recreational activities such as craft classes, movie trips, card games, and much more. • Desireable home designs: New homes are being built with open floor plans in a variety of styles. Many feature single-level living, to eliminate the need for scaling steps. Energy efficient materials and many other features make these homes desireable and attractive. • Security and safety: Many communities are gated with announced visitors and have private security patrols. Some are located in close proximity to hospitals and other medical care in the event there is an emergency. • Social gatherings: It's easy to meet friends of similar ages and like-minded interests in a 55+ devel opment. • Transportation convenience: If you don't like to drive, that's taken care of in an active adult community. Transportation to stores, places of worship, and even doctors' appointments can be arranged, with costs generally covered in monthly association fees. · • Maintenance-free: For those who want to forget about snow shoveling or lawn mowing, 55+ communities are perfect. Dues cover most exterior maintenance, such as snow removal, trash pick-up, lawn/garden maintenance, pool care, and general grounds maintenance. Depending upon the development and ownership of the home, interior repairs may also be covered. News reports suggest now is good time to buy a home. If you 55 years of age or older, now may be the right time to buy a home in an active adult community near you .

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 aduJts 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. Also, by planning ahead, you're able to consider what your parents want, whereas waiting too late can limit their input and possibly lessen their quality of life as a result. • Discuss the situation with your own family. 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. For example, rather than telling a child that grandma will be taking their bedroom, ask them how they would feel if they were asked to move rooms, and explain to them the need for sacrifice for everyone. • Be sure your home is safe. Certain things are safe for young adults and children 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 shower to make things safer for seniors. Other easy ways to make a home safer for seniors is to use higher wattage light bulbs to increase visibility, securing throw rugs to reduce the likelihood of slipping, and converting a first floor room into a bedroom to make it easier for seniors to get around the house and lessen their load.

Senior Quarterly Friday, July 11,zoo9 In early Alzheimer's, when to give up the car keys BY LAURAN NEERGAARD AP MEDICAL WRITER WASHINGTON - Scientists are creating tests to show when it's time for people with early Alzheimer's disease to stop driving. It's on~ of a family's most wrenching decisions, and as Alzheimer's increasingly is diagno ed in its earliest stages, it can be hard to tell when a loved one is poised to become .a danger. Factor in that much Df the country lacks public transportation, and quitting too soon restricts independence for someone who otherwise may function well for several years. "That's a real cost to the individual and family and society," says Jeffrey Dawson of the University of Iowa. "You have to have some sort of trade-off between the individual's independence along with the safety of the driver and with other people on the road." Typically, specialists say, patients gradually scale back their driving, avoiding busy freeways or night trips or left-turn intersections. Alzheimer's Association adviser Sue Pinder, 58, recently gave up big-city driving even though it meant fewer visits to a daughter in Dallas. Shortly after Pinder's diagnosis in 2004, she signed a form designating her husband to decide when she'll quit driving altogether. He gave her a GPS system for her last birthday. It helped Pinder navigate unfamilj.ar streets when, to be near another daughter, the couple recently moved to West Monroe, La., from a nearby town. "That's helped a lot where I don't have to worry, I can concentrate on my driving and not the directions," Pinder says. Working on ways to help similar patients, Dawson's team in Iowa developed an intricate behind-thewheel exam: A 35-mile drive through rural, residential and urban streets in a tricked-out Ford Taurus able to record just about every action the <}river takes, much like an airplane "black box" does. Lipstick-size video cameras were positioned to show oncoming traffic, too. Researchers recruited 40 people with early-stage Alzheimer's who still had their driver's licenses to take the road test, and compared how 115 older drivers without dementia handled the same trip. The results, reported in the journal Neurology, are striking. On average, the Alzheimer's drivers committed 42 safety ·mistakes, compared with 33 for the other drivers. Lane violations, such as swerving or hugging the center line as another car approaches, were the biggest problem for the Alzheimer's drivers. They performed 50 percent worse. Overall errors rose with increasing age whether or not the driver had Alzheimer's, an extra 2 112 mistakes for every five years of age. But some Alzheimer's patients drove just ·as well as their healthier counterparts, stresses Dawson, a biostatistics professor. Here's the key: Researchers also checked whether any of a battery of neuropsychological tests given beforehand accurately predicted who would drive worse - and some did. Flunking simple memory tests didn't make a difference. Standard neurologic tests · of multitasking abilities did, ones that assess if people's cognitive, visual and motor skills work together in a way to make quick decisions. Examples include showing patients geometric figures for a few seconds and having them draw the shape from memory, or drawing paths between a sequence of numbers and letters. Alzheimer's patients who scored average or better on those types of written tests were likewise no worse behind the wpeel than other older drivers - but those who scored worse than average tended to commit about 50 percent more errors on the road, Dawson says. More research is needed but the ultimate goal is an easy doctor's- office exam to help guide when patients should give up the keys. About 600,000 elderly adults stop driving for some health reason every year, according to the National Institute on Aging. But there's little clear guidance for the roughly 2 million people estimated to be in Alzheimer's early stages, and the disease is poised to skyrocket in two decades as the population grays. States have varying laws on when aging drivers must pass a road test for a license renewal, but they seldom address specific diseases; California requires reporting of Alzheimer's diagnoses so driving can be assessed. The Alzheimer's Association tells families warning signs of unsafe driving. But as Alzheimer's worsens, patients often vehemently deny that they're a hazard, says Dr. Gary Kennedy, geriatric psychiatry chief at New York's Montefiore Medical Ask your doctor about Ohio Valley Home Health.

"I can be the bad guy," he tells families, sometimes reporting patients to the Department of Motor Vehicles for a driving test or advising relatives to disable the car. . "Giving up the car is not like going into the nursing home," Kennedy counsels patients, trying to recruit relatives or friends to schedule rides.

Casement windows, which operate on a crank-out system with a sidehinged sash that opens outward for ventilation (up to a full 90 degrees 'th most windows), can be used in all of the home. Casement windows are especially appealing when combined into large Bay or Bow window configurations because they allow a maxi mum amount of light and airflow into the home. For those senior homeowners looking for a smaller crank-out window style option, Simonton offers both Awning and Hopper windows. With Awning windows, the sash is hinged on top and the window cranks out and upward. A pull-out Hoppe! window is easy to operate and the sash is hinged on the bottom of the window. A special panel insert, made to resemble acrylic block, is also available as a privacy feature on a Hopper window. Finally, Burk recommends Slider windows.

However, the impact-resistant nature of these windows also makes them appealing as a home safety enhancement."

In 1970, McQuade initiated a campaign to set aside a day to commemorate grandparents and all they ·do for their children and grandchildren. By 1973, the first Grandparents Day was proclaimed by then West Virginia Gov. Arch Moore. The campaign had also begun to take on a national approach. Sen. Jennings Randolph (D-WV) introduced a resolution in 1973 on the Senate floor. ~ However, the resolution languished there for several years. Just like she had been for getting Grandparents Day recognized in West Virginia, McQuade proved instrumental in doing so on the national level as well. While Randolph's resolution sat idle in the Senate, ·McQuade worked to garner media support while also contacting governors, senators and congressmen in every state. By 1978, McQuade's labors had paid off when the proclamation for a National Grandparents Day was signed by President Jimmy Carter. · Interestingly enough, McQuade herself has many reasons to celebrate National Grandparents Day.

When the financial markets swooned last year, many seniors and preretirees had to scale back plans for their golden years. More retirees are looking for value and affordability in what may be the last house they buY: AARP reported Wednesday that nearly eight in 10 adults have either started to cut back on spending or have started to save more money in the past year, with almost three in four doing so in order to save for retirement. While AARP research also shows that almost 80 percent .of baby boomers will choose to stay where they are rather than move, those seeking to downsize, live in a warmer climate or move closer to relatives will have more affordable options as builders and designers create smaller homes for the 50and-over market. "The challenge for architects and builders is to produce a home that comes in at a better price, so as a result homes are definitely getting smaller," said Doug Van Lerberghe, an architect with Kephart Community Planning Architecture, which designs adult communities. The housing boom ·years of 2002 to 2006 saw a trend toward the sprawling adult community and bigger homes, as builders prepared for buyers from the roughly 75 million baby boomers heading toward retirement. But because construction financing and buyer demand dried up as the economy · slipped into recession, some builders and designers are changing their approach to revive sales. On average, the size of new single-family homes started at the end the year was 2,343 square feet, compared with a high of 2,629 square feet in the middle of last year, the National of Home. Association Builders reported. Also, four-fifths of builders surveyed by the trade group said they were placing an emphasis on smaller homes and lower priced models. Van Lerberghe says the trend toward smaller homes in the 50-plus market has been apparent for about a year. He's seen floor plans shrink by about 250 to 300 square feet on average. In addition, as more people choose to entertain at home rather than go out, detailed and wide-open kitchens are becoming more popular, with islands that serve as eating areas. Many buyers are choosing to eschew large, separate dining room or living rooms, Van Lerberghe said. Some designs call for more windows which makes smaller homes feel larger and · helps save money on heating and electricity bills. Bathtubs often are being left out, with a preference toward flat-floored showers and more storage space. Designers and planners also are building on smaller lots and increasing density to limit land costs. Tye Campbell, an engineer who works with nonprofits and religious organizations that sponsor senior development, says floorplans are shrinking by 10 to 15 p~r­ cent on average. The more space-efficient design concepts include using less space for hallways, fewer walls to give a more open feel, and more storage under stairways and above kitchen cabinets. "We've got to stop this mine-is-bigger-than-yours . attitude. Let's start talking about, a mine-is-more-efficient-than-yours attitude," says Campbell, president of SFCS Inc., an architecture and design company that's currently working on about 30 senior housing projects Among builders, P Homes' Del Webb brand h added a series of flexible _ home designs for the 55and~over market. •Offering Skilled and Intermediate Levels of Nursing Care • Rehabilitation: Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Respir~t~ry Therdpy including Ventilator Care • Certified by Medicare and Medicaid, Workers Compensation A(>proved, Accepting Private .Insurance · C,all today to schedule ll tour ~fourbeauujU~facuizy (740) 992--6472 ...... •• 333 Page Street • Middleport, OH www.overbrookrehabilitationcenter.com ... -----------------------~-----...1...,, ... • • t • ··i····~·· ~ f, • .._ • ... ..........~-(- .. ~ ..

(AP) More than 70 ye~s ago, a young girl named Beulah was about to start 11th grade when she was offer~d a . job. The money was good, and JObs were hard to come by, so she accepted and left school. Years later, she joined dozens of Mercer County and Tazewell County, Va., ~o graduate from the GED program. . "I grew up in the DepressiOn years," recalled Beulah Wills, n~w a little more than 91 years old. Just before school started I was offered a job for $20 a month, seven days a week. That's like a thousand dollars now. The job was running a grocery store with a gas pump on the side." The small store in Crumpler was similar to today's convenience stores. Besides groceries, the establishment sold gasoline. "You had to pump your gas. Those old timey gas pumps weren't electric at all," she said before the graduation ceremony at Princeton Middle School. Times have changed considerably since Wills made the decision to leave school. She took another major step when she decided to return to class and earn her GED certificate. Besides being among the 50 graduates at Thursday's ceremony, Wills is the oldest person in West Virginia to earn a GED, and may be the second oldest in the nation, said Marcie Ware, coordinator for the Mercer County Academy of Adult Learning in Princeton. She is the mother of Pat Wilson of the Princeton City Council and attorney Mark Wills. "Pat Wilson did some research and she (Beulah Wills) is the second-oldest in the nation," Ware said. A 97year-old Texas resident was the oldest American to get the GED. "It's something I've always wanted to do, but my daughter's the one who signed me Uj), so when she did I went ahead and did it," Wills said. Becoming a student again after so many years was difficult at first, but it became easier after passing the first test, Wills said. She started to remember lessons she had learned back in high school. "I finished the 11th grade, but I quit my senior year. They came back to me and made it a lot easier. And I · had a good teacher, Darlene Shepherd," she said. "I'm thankful that I was able to do it. I was scared in the beginning it had been over 70 years since I was in school." Wills said she would encourage other people get their GED. "I'd say try. I got sort of disheartened, but other people had faith I could do it. They encouraged me, so I just kept trying. I'd encourage anybody," she said. Across the state line in Virginia, 124 graduates participated in ceremonies at Tazewell Middle School. A total of 197 students took their GED test this year, said Toni Tester, GED coordinator for Alternative/ Adult Education in Tazewell County. Out of the remaining 73 people, more than· half had not completed their final battery of tests. "They can either take the full test or one test at a time, get through those subjects they feel most confident with and continue on those subjects they need assistance with in class," Tester said. Last year an 81-year-old GED student graduated, Tester said. Meanwhile, three students are involved in the PlugGED In program with So~thwest Regional .Adult Education. PlugGED In is a GED/technology program with which students can earn a ·GED, get a career readiness certificate, MicroSoft certification and earn 12 college credits, Tester said. Participants are put through mock interviews and are guaranteed a job interview with Northrup Grumman. Each student who goes·through the program is invited to apply to Bluefield State College, Southwest Virginia Community College and other institutions.

About three months ago, however, the future did not look good for Mrs. Price following a multiple vehicle accident on March 29, 2009, in which she suffered severe injuries. She and her husband, Eddie, were on their way home to Gallia County from a trip to Florida when the wreck occurred along Interstate 75 near London, Ky. Mr. Price was also injured, but has since made a full recovery. Given the extent of Mrs. Price's injuries, though, the initial prognosis offered by physicians was not positive. At the very least, her journey back to health was expected to be a long, arduous process. "I had multiple fractures, a torn aorta and was not expected to survive,'' said Mrs. Price. "But with teams of doctors and the grace of God, my life was spared." Physicians at the University of Kentucky Trauma Center performed surgery to repair the aorta and fractures to her pelvis, spine and other areas of her upper body. On April 12, Mrs. Price was admitted to the Holzer Medical Ce.nter Rehabilitation Unit in Gallipolis, and then on April 22 she was moved to Holzer Senior Care Center (HSCC) with hopes of making the transition back to her everyday life. "The wonderful therapists diligently worked with me even though I was on complete bed rest," Mrs. Price said. "The doctors and nurses and staff here are very caring; just like one big family. I have received the best of care." Jason Moore, OTR/L, program director for Therapy Services at Holzer Senior Care Center, said Mrs. Price's recovery has been noth' ing short of a miracle. "I think any therapist or clinician that would have looked at her case and the physical level she was at when she first got here, would have said that she would need at least three to six months to recover," said Moore. "However, she cut that to Jess than 60 days." An extremely joyful Mrs. Price left Holzer Senior Care Center on Friday, June 19, happy to return home with her husband to their residence near Vinton. "Several factors helped her therapy," Moore added. "She's benefited from excellent motivation and incredible family support. She has a wonderful demeanor and is very pleasant to work with. She always gives I 00 percent.' 1 Mr. and Mrs. Price are members of the Rodney Pike Church of God and they credit the prayers of friends there and many other churches with helping to speed Mrs. P-rice's recovery. "I wish to thank everyone everywhere for the many prayers that went out for me on my behalf and for God's loving hand that held me all the way," Mrs. Price said.

A disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord,ALS is more commonly known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," so named because of the famed New York Yankees first baseman who died of the disease shortly after retiring from baseball. While its famous namesake has given it name recognition, ALS remains a mystery to many people, including researchers who continue to search for a cure. As that research continues, the best weapon people have against ALS is knowledge, namely what the disease is, what its symptoms are and who's most susceptible. What isALS? When a person has ALS, specific nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord slowly die. These nerve cells are known as motor neurons, and reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. These cells progressively degenerate, eventually leading to death. According to the ALS Association, the death of these motor neurons robs the brain of its ability to initiate and control muscle movement. As the diseases progresses, it is possible, thanks to this lost ability to control muscle movement, for patients to become totally paralyzed. What are the symptoms of ALS? Initial symptoms of ALS could be very difficult to recognize, and are often overlooked. In addition, not all people with ALS experience the same symptoms. However, symptoms of ALS can -follow a common progression. 1. Muscle weakness: Muscle weakness is often the first sign of ALS, and occurs in approximately 60 percent of ALS patients. Typically, this weakness is concentrated in one area, such as weakness in one leg, one hand, the face, or even the tongue. The muscle weakness then gradually spreads, as the motor neurons begin to die and the .n~wscles get weaker and . smaller as a result. .. 2. Fasciculation: This is essentially cramping and twitching of the muscles, and tends to appear after initial muscle weakness as the muscles weaken but before they completely deteriorate. This twitching is often most noticeable in the hands and feet, and difficulty using hands and fmgers to perform tasks can occur. 3. Loss of function in arms and legs: As the disease progresses, so, too, does the loss of function in both the arms and legs. 4. Difficulties with speech: "Thick speech" will develop as patients begin to have difficulty speaking and projecting their voice. 5. Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing and swallowing: These symptoms are often indicative that ALS has entered its advanced stages. Who gets ALS? ALS is not a very common disease, but this fact hasn't resulted in the disease being brushed aside; research as to a cure is ongoing. Estimates suggest as many as 30,000 Americans have ALS at any given time, with 5,600 new diagnoses each year. Demographically, the ALS CARE .. Database indicates 60 percent of ALS patients are men, and 93 percent of patients are Caucasian. The average age of diagnosis is 55, and most people who develop ALS are between the ages of 40 and 70. While the disease occurs in greater percentages as men and women grow older, there are instances where ALS has occurred in persons in their 20s and 30s. Interestingly, as men ;md women age, the incidence of ALS in men and women is more equal. What is the prognosis for ALS patients? Research has begun to bear some evidence that people with ALS are beginning to live longer-, perhaps due to clinical management interventions or advancements in medicine. In general, half of all people with ALS live at least three or more years after diagnosis.
