Seesholtz and burly power forward Mark Hess controlled the game in the first half and high-scoring guard Ben Falkenberg and sevenfoot center Steve Mayes took over in the second half. The Cougars finally made the run they needed late in the first half and took a 5038 to the locker room. The Cougars built the lead to as high as I 8 points at 7961 in the second half. Rio Grande would get as close ' eight points. · Dinwiddie led the Redmen with 24 points, nailing live three-pointers on the night. Ivery delivered a doubledouble performance with 18 points and I0 rebounds. He also had six blocked shots and shot 9-of-13 from the field. Junior forward Curtis Clark totaled 15 points and seve n rebounds off the bench and sophomore guard Brett Beucler scored 13 (all in the second half) and pulled down five rebounds.

Mount Vernon outrebounded Rio 48-41. Both teams took excellent care of the basketball with the Redmen tallying only nine mi scues to 12 for the Cougars. Rio Grande head coach Ken French gave Mount Vernon a lot of credit for the way they play the game. 'They're a great program," French said. "You ve got to give them credit, they've got a very good team this year, very strong." "They've got six or seven guys that execute their system extremely well, Coach (Scott) Aemming has done a great job with them and we're talented, but we don't execute our system like ther, execute their system, ' French added. "We had some mental breakdowns, there is no question, we played hard, most of the time when you get down to a Mount Vernon team like that, they bury you. "We fought back, our guys fought back, but we just didn't play smart, especially in our transition defense in the first half." Rio Grande will re-match AMC South Co-leader Walsh on Saturday.

"When you can out-rebound a team, especially when they get tired, then that's going to give you a real good opportunity to win a basketball game," Smalley said. " It was a good win," Smalley added. "It gives us a little sigh of relief. but we've got to get right back at it, because Walsh will be coming after us."

Barbaro suffers significant setback KENNEH SQUARE, Pa. (AP) - Barbaro has suffered a significant setback in his recovery from laminitis, with damaged tissue removed from the Kentucky Derby winner's left hind hoof. Barbaro was being treated aggressively for his discomfort and is in stable condition. according to a statement released Wednesday mqrning by the University of Pennsylvania 's New Bolton Center. The tissue was removed Tuesday night. "Things were marching along pretty smoothly until this," Barbaro· s co-owner Gretchen Jackson said. "We · ve been there before with him . He 's a horse that wants to live." The setback comes one week after a new cast was placed on Barbaro's laminitis-stricken left hind foot to help realign a bone. The cast change cou ld have caused some inflammation. said Dr. Kathleen Anderson, Barbaro's attending vet when the horse was racing and stabled in trainer Michael Matz's bam at the Fair Hill Training Center in Elkton, Md. Anderson said Barbaro has proved he was strong enough to overcome his latest medical obstacle. "We all know most horses don ' t get this far," she said. "The bottom line with Barbaro is the fractured leg is the one that would have been the end of most horses. He won 't be getting to the big green field any time soon, but I don't think this is insurmountable." It was the first dose of bad news after months of progress that included owners Gretchen and Roy Jackson and New Bolton 's chief surgeon Dean Richardson talking about releasing Barbaro from the hospital as soon as the end of the month. "It's sad that's he's had a setback because he was marching along toward living outside the hospital." Jackson said. "The only thing we care about is that he's not in pain." Barbaro had become uncomfortable on hi s left hind foot and a cast was removed after some new separation on the inside portion of his hoof was found. Barbaro shattered his right hind leg in the Preakness on May 20. In mid-July severe laminitis, a potentially fatal disease caused by uneven weight distribution in the limhs, resulted in 80 percent of Barbaro's left hind hoof being removed. "I was there yesterday and it was obvious he was not comfortable in that foot," Jackson said. "The easiest and best way to work on Barbaro is when he 's laying down. They had to wait until he was laying down and when they removed the cast, they discovered some reason for him fee ling pain." Just over a week ago. Richardson said Barbaro's right hind was getting stronger and should eventu.ally be healthy enough to allow the colt to live a comfortable, happy life. But he al,o warned : " Barbaro 's left hind foot, which had laminiti s. remains a more formidable long-term challenge . The foot must grow much more for him to have a truly successful outcome." BY RONAU> llwM ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK An empty chair on the dais would have been appropriate . Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn soaked in their new status as Hall of Famers on Wednesday, flanked by baseball officials in an ornate hotel ballroom. During the formal 45minute portion of the news conference, Mark McGwire 's name was not mentioned, as if those 583 home runs had been erased from history. There was a large poster of Ripken on the left, a matching one of Gwynn on the right, each portraying the player batting and fielding. Posters of Goose Gossage and Jim Rice had been prepared, too. just in case they gained election. But no poster of McGwire was necessary. Hall officials knew it wouldn't be needed . Big Mac wasn't going to be a first-ballot Hall of Farner. If he keeps up his disappearing act, evading questions about his role in baseball's Steroids Era, McGwire 's poster won't ever be ordered. Like Pete Rose, McGwire might end up visiting Cooperstown only as a guest, not a member. Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa also could find themselves on the outside looking in. Their cases no doubt will be re-examined decades from now by historians who will try to determine why baseball's career hits leader and some of its most prodigious horne run hitters were locked out of the sport's pantheon. When given the chance two years ago to tell Congress what he did or didn't do, McGwire stonewalled. After the for- mal news conference Wednesday, .when writers gathered around Ripken and Gwynn, questions were asked about McGwire and steroids. While not passing judgment on McGwire, Ripken did say he 'd Iike some answers. "When you examine it, you would like to hear what the story is," he said. "And I'm a firm believer that the truth is the truth, and the truth will come out. Sometimes it takes a little while ." With crystal chandeliers overhead and huge goldand-blue curtains behind, Ripken and Gwynn put cream-colored baseball jerseys on. with "Hall of Fame" in red-white-andblue script across their chests. Then they told the stories of their careers. "There's like a gigantic halo over my head right now. I'm just like in heaven right now," Gwynn said before another of his familiar horse laughs. He hopes McGwire is among those who get to experience the feeling . Veterans of pennant races and World Series, Ripken and Gwynn admitted being nervous before they were voted in Tuesday. "You're staring at that phone for 15 minutes or 20 minutes, trying to will it to ring," Ripken said. Gwynn and Ripken said they weren't tempted by performa nc e-enhanc i ng drugs during their careers, which ended a year before baseball players and owners agreed on rules that banned them. "Why would you do it? Would you do it for more money? Would you do it to set records? Would you do it to prolong your career?" Gwynn said. "See, here's the thing: If you decide to go that way, do you ,~lr'e the H11ll of Fpme ill ~nO? What is it th\\t roMllJOs you to do it? Ia itlO· get 'a paycheck?" Until Ken Caminiti and 'Jose Canseco, no stars had admitted using steroids. Baseball has a long hi ~ tory of trying to keep what goes on in the clubhouse from reaching the outside world. " No player wants to be that guy to alienate himself from the rest of them," Gwynn said. "But you suspected." Unlike Gwynn, who won eight NL batting title~. Ripken made his money !I~ a power hitter, revolution• izing what was expected qf shortstops. He said he stayed away from steroids because of "the unknown." ''I'm not someone that takes aspmn for 11 headache," he said. "I was able to establish myself pretty early on as a regular player and I knew that J could do it all by myself, I guess."

And, of course, the closer the friendship, the greater the significance of the letter and the deeper its reach into my bean. Much of the delight is no doubt the offspring of the knowledge that someone special to me was thinking especially of me. And some of it comes perhaps from simply having an opportunity to reconnect with that old friend, celebrating our companionship and the building of memones in former days, not to mention the sharing of our victories and disappointments in the present, as well as our hopes and fears for the future. If such earthly letters can bring pause to a human heart, injecting into it much needed joy and encouragement, then how much more can a man or woman of God find an abundance of delight in the love letters of the Lord? His Scriptures wonderfully declare the affection that God has forJou and for me, clearly an passionately unveiling His tenderness, love and jealousy for His people's hearts. And if our sometimes small and careless exchanges of affection are nothing more than "sweet nothings," the Words of God are "sweet everythings," recording for us His love and faithfulness through what He gave up just so that we can be with Him forever.

Psalm 121.4) And so. may God our heavenly Father open the eyes of our hearts and minds this year to see Him clearly and deeply in the light of His truth. May He grant us greater heavenly knowledge, wisdom and perception as He continues leading us along the path of His salvation. And may He bless u5 and keep us ever and always in His tender loving care; by His grace and the power of His Hoi~ Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw." (2 Kings 6.17a, NKJV) . "May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge or him. May he enlighten the eyes of your mind." (Ephesians 1.17-IRa, NKJB) Syria was at war with Israel. Several times the king of Syria planned a swprise attack on Israel but each time, strangely enough, the people were ready and on their guard. Of course, the Syrian king thought he had a leak in intelligence until one of his officers informed him that the prophet Elisha was keeping the king of Israel informed. "He tells the kin~ of Israel what you say even m the privacy of your own room," the officer said. So the Syrian king determined to capture Elisha and have him imprisoned. When he found out the prophel was in the city of Dothan, "he sent a large force there with horses and chariots. They reached the town at night and surrounded il." (2 Kings 6.14, GNT) When the servant of Elisha woke up and saw the huge army surrounding the town he ran to the prophet with news of certain doom but Elisha saw some1hing of which the young man was completely unaware. He had eyes but could not see, or perhaps we should say he could see but at one and the same time could not see. "Don,'t be afraid," Elisha answered. "We have more on our side than they have on theirs . Then he prayed, "0 Lord, open his eyes and lei him see!." (2 Kings 6.16l?a, GNT) And, of course, God did open the eyes of his servant, and lhe young man "looked up and saw lhe hillside covered wilh horses and chariols of fire all around Elisha." ( 2 Kings 6.17b, GNT) How often do we look around us and see only circumstances and physical limitations, troubled scenes and restricling conditions, when through faith with the eyes of our heart we might The Dally Sentinel • Page A3 • WORS1THP GOD THIS WEEK u...- .

Instead they should produce a safe environment where our children learn about our freedoms and . how to exercise them respectfully. The message we need to be sending to our children is that they shouldn't feel like they have to be "undercover" about their religion ...or that somehow they have to be "hush-hush'' about their family's beliefs and their heritage. Some public schools observe this day by realing the Presidential Proclamation or having the students write a paper on "What religious freedom means to me." Others distribute to students copies of the U.S. Department of Education's guidelines on students, religious liberties or talk about countties where free. dom of religion is fotbidden.

Our freedoms must be protected. - - - A Hunger For More- - Receiving a personal letter from an old friend is always a treat for me. And, of course, the closer the friendship, the greater the significance of the letter and the deeper its reach into my bean. Much of the delight is no doubt the offspring of the knowledge that someone special to me was thinking especially of me. And some of it comes perhaps from simply having an opportunity to reconnect with that old friend, celebrating our companionship and the building of memones in former days, not to mention the sharing of our victories and disappointments in the present, as well as our hopes and fears for the future. If such earthly letters can bring pause to a human heart, injecting into it much needed joy and encouragement, then how much more can a man or woman of God find an abundance of delight in the love letters of the Lord? His Scriptures wonderfully declare the affection that God has forJou and for me, clearly an passionately unveiling His tenderness, love and jealousy for His people's hearts. And if our sometimes small and careless exchanges of affection are nothing more than "sweet nothings," the Words of God are "sweet everythings," recording for us His love and faithfulness through what He gave up just so that we can be with Him forever. "Do not letJour heans be troubled," sai Jesus to His disciples. "Trust in God, trust 1 messages of love, affinnation, hope and peace.

Hurtoo behold the armies of the Lord surrounding us, protecting and fighting for us, standing in the distance between us and the swanns of hell. How often do we pray, then fret about the answer ot the apfarent lack of ad answer. But God hears the cries of His children and He does answer. "Realize that Yahweh ~rforms wonders for his fatthful, Yahweh listens when I call to him ." (Psalm 4.3, NJB) "Those who revere your name can rely on you, you never desert those who seek you. Yahweh." (Psalm 9.10, NJB) If we could only see past the visible world around us, underneath what appears to be reality, through the veil of darkness that shrouds so much of our world. And what might we see? Perhaps our Lord the Almighty riding "on the heavens to our aid, on the clouds in his glory." (Deuteronomy 33.26b, REB) Our view is · so often dimmed, our perception marred by sin and our own limited, finite nature that w11 seldom consider there is an entire unseen world unseen 10 the naked eye around us living, breathing and constantly in motion. There is the unseen hand of the Creator guiding the course of the whole of the created order, and "He neither slumbers nor sleeps." (Cf. Psalm 121.4) And so. may God our heavenly Father open the eyes of our hearts and minds this year to see Him clearly and deeply in the light of His truth. May He grant us greater heavenly knowledge, wisdom and perception as He continues leading us along the path of His salvation. And may He bless u5 and keep us ever and always in His tender loving care; by His grace and the power of His Hoi~ Spirit, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Whal is truly possible ? If we are 10 seriously address we should fiiS1 dis tin~uish be1ween different senses word "possi bility." There are at least three different senses of possibility: technologicaL physical, and logical possibillty. For example. until the in..-emion of the airplane. i1 wasn't technologically possible for humans to fl y. though it was always phy sicall y possible to do this. as evide nced by birds. Time lrave i may no! be physically rossible, bu1 1here is noth ing logically impossi ble abou11his, and even this problem may one day succumb to human ingenui1y. Still, other tl\mgs !tft said to be logically impossible, such as matmg lwo two equal five or making a rod. so big thai even an omnipotent God could not lift il. So, can God make two plus two equal live, or cat! He make a rock so big lhat evt:n Ht: could lift it'.' Or is thi s jusl nonsense '! For God to b.: able to make a rocl so big 1ha1 He could nol lift it is ~doxic w.l. For if He canno1 make the roc k.. His omnipotence is comradicted. and if He can make · then He can 'tlift il. and so His omnipotence is contradicled there a.<> well . Eilher way. whether He can or cannot ends in contradict~oo. and thus the pamdox But usually when we talk about somelhing being 1mpossiblc. we j ust mean it ts going to be very difticull. Often lhe impos.<>ihlc i ~ only what we have n'! yet fig ured out how to do. As Henry Ford once quipped ...Whe-tht- r you th.ink you can, or think you can't, either way you are right.

Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw." (2 Kings 6.17a, NKJV) . "May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, give you a spirit of wisdom and perception of what is revealed, to bring you to full knowledge or him. May he enlighten the eyes of your mind." (Ephesians 1.17-IRa, NKJB) Syria was at war with Israel. Several times the king of Syria planned a swprise attack on Israel but each time, strangely enough, the people were ready and on their guard. Of course, the Syrian king thought he had a leak in intelligence until one of his officers informed him that the prophet Elisha was keeping the king of Israel informed. "He tells the kin~ of Israel what you say even m the privacy of your own room," the officer said. So the Syrian king determined to capture Elisha and have him imprisoned. When he found out the prophel was in the city of Dothan, "he sent a large force there with horses and chariots. They reached the town at night and surrounded il."

He had eyes but could not see, or perhaps we should say he could see but at one and the same time could not see. "Don,'t be afraid," Elisha answered.

Ostling , who retired last year after three decades on the religion beat, f1rst with Time and then with the Associated Press. "This tells us something important - that it's hard to draw clean lines between what is religion news nnd what is not. ... Religious faith is part of how people think and how they live. This affects all kinds of things." This is true in Iran and in Israel. It's true on Sunday mornings in American suburbs and during riots in the suburbs of France. It's true on the border between India and Pakistan and numerous other fault lines around the world. Religion is a factor when people go to worship or when they decline to do so. For many, faith plays a role when they vote and when they volunteer to help others. Religion often plays a pivotal role when people go to war. Thus, noted Ostling, .events on this beat often seem to go in circles, with Friday,Januaryt2,20o7 Friday, January 12, 2007 Patience is a virtue when seeking the big religion story 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PageA4 certain themes and conflicts appearing year after year. world without end - amen. This is frustrating for editors, who struggle to understand why religious believers "keep getting so upset about what seem to . be the same old stories," he said. For example. mainline Protestants have been lighting for decades over hotbutton issues linked to ancient doctrine> about marriage, gender and sex. More oflen than not, this leads to headlines ahoul another round of changes in I he. U.S . Episcopal Church. One of the m;uor stories of 2006 was the election of the Rt. Rev. Katharine Jetferts Schon - an articulate feminist from the tiny Diocese of Nevada - as the denomination's first female presiding bishop. "This ~as an important story." noted Ostling. "But was there anything all thai surprising about it ? Not really." Meanwhile, the bigger story- a chain reaction among parishes leaving the denomination - is "probably harder to cover because it is spread all over the country," he said .• The fall of the Rev. Ted Haggard as president of the National Association of Evangelicals was a big story in 2006, but the typical news year alwilys includes at least one sexy scandal of this kind. The list goes on. Every election year will include a wave of reports about 1he degree to which rcl.igious issues did or did not drive Republicans, and increasingly Democrats, to the polls. There are annual storie s that pit science against religion and Hollywood against people in pews.

What will the pope say that upsets people this year'' Which church-state case split the U.S. Supreme Court thi s time around? "The problem is that it \ hard to know if any one event in thi s stream of events is the definitive one, the truly landmark event," said Ostling. "At some point, things change and they stay changed." But journalists have to be patient, he said, because "people are looking for · answers to the big queslions, and they don't change what they believe overnight."

Local Briefs Girl Scout cookies on sale For the Record Middleport Police Foreclosures· William Rusher Clearly, it was in the interest of the United States that Putin should make Russia a peaceful ally of the West. In the following years, Putin's record has been, to say the least, uneven. The free-wheeling liberalism in both politics and economics that had characterized the Yeltsin regime gave way to growing controls. Private businessmen who had prospered mightily when Russia's economy was partially denationalized found their enterprises being renationalized, and a few of them even wound up in jail or exile. Independent radio stations, newspapers and magazines tended to go out of business, while Pl.1tin 's political allies dominated the Russian parliament. Last year he decreed that the governors of Russia 's provinces. previous!~ ele.:ted. would henceforth be appointed - by him. In foreign affairs. Putin. signed a 20-ycar friendship and cooperation treaty with China in 200 I, and supported the U.S . invasion of Afghanistan after Sept. II. But he joined France and Germany in opposing America's second Iraq war. And he has persisted stubbornly in trying to subdue the hostile and largely Muslim Chechnya. The Chechens have responded with a series of terrnrist allacks inside Russ ia (though Putin 's critics claim . he was behind some of them, to give him an excuse for further crackdowns). Finally, Putin has not hesitated to use Russia's oil and gas resources to bully neighboring Ukraine and Belarus, and even Western Europe. with threats of cut-offs. So Put in has clear Iy not opted lo make Russia a tame junior partner of the We st. But one wonders by what right the West expected any such thing? Today 's Russiu is a long comedown from the mighty Soviet Union. Its gross nationul product is almost laughable, and its population is uc,lually declining.

I suggest that we stop trying to force Russia into a Western mold for which it is wholly unprepared. In the long run - by which I mean several decades - Russia's attention is sure to be drawn ever more forcibly to the growth of Ghina, with which it shares a 4,000-mile border. As <;:hina grows, prospers, and expands its military,' the vast spaces of Siberia and other parts of eastern Russia are bound to look appetizing.

There is a presence, but smaller in numbers, of fighters from the Badr Brigade, the military wing of Iraq 's most powerful Shiite political organization. the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. The Badr Brigades were trained and armed in Iran, where its leaders were in exile until the fall of Saddam. These groups have fought one another or the U.S. and Iraqi militaries for as long as three years and know their enemy. Through those battles. the Mahdi Army especially, has taken more and more territory in Baghdad, evicting Sunni restdents from mixed neighborhoods to produce purely Shiite enclaves deep into west Baghdad which once was Sunni or mixed. While Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has warned the Mahdi Army that it must finally lay down its arms or face all-out attack from hi s government troops backed by U.S. forces, the threat was not expected to unravel what has become a bold and very heavily armed fighting force that owes all loyalty to al-Sadr and none to alMaliki. Compounding the problem is the heavy infiltration of the Iraqi police, an overwhelmingly Shiite organization. by members of the Mahdi Army. Some in the organization have been trained in Iran by the elite Revolutionary Guards and their supp ly of weapons flow without interruption across the porous border. There are reports that an increasing number of the group have and are .trained to use silencer-equipped sniper rifles. They already hav e big stores of Kalasnikov automatic rilles and ammunition as well a~ rocket-propelled grenades and sophi sticated. armorpiercing roadside bombs. In the warren-like streets of many neighborhoods under Shiite control, including their home base of Sadr City, they would be a formidable force that could send Iraqi army forces into quick retreat, leaving embedded U.S. troops struggli ng in dang~rou s urban warfare and house-to-house combat, where the enemy knows the ground and U.S. forces don't. The Iranians also are believed to have helped arm the Sunni insurgents, who were already receiving money and ~uns from the other side ot Iraq.' through the desert border with Syria. Huge numbers of Saddam's former Baath Party organization and his government and military fled to Syria, where they found ready refuge .

Ostling , who retired last year after three decades on the religion beat, f1rst with Time and then with the Associated Press. "This tells us something important - that it's hard to draw clean lines between what is religion news nnd what is not. ... Religious faith is part of how people think and how they live. This affects all kinds of things." This is true in Iran and in Israel. It's true on Sunday mornings in American suburbs and during riots in the suburbs of France. It's true on the border between India and Pakistan and numerous other fault lines around the world. Religion is a factor when people go to worship or when they decline to do so. For many, faith plays a role when they vote and when they volunteer to help others. Religion often plays a pivotal role when people go to war. Thus, noted Ostling, .events on this beat often seem to go in circles, with Friday,Januaryt2,20o7 Friday, January 12, 2007 Patience is a virtue when seeking the big religion story 111 Court Street • Pomeroy, Ohio LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PageA4 certain themes and conflicts appearing year after year. world without end - amen. This is frustrating for editors, who struggle to understand why religious believers "keep getting so upset about what seem to . be the same old stories," he said. For example. mainline Protestants have been lighting for decades over hotbutton issues linked to ancient doctrine> about marriage, gender and sex. More oflen than not, this leads to headlines ahoul another round of changes in I he. U.S . Episcopal Church. One of the m;uor stories of 2006 was the election of the Rt. Rev. Katharine Jetferts Schon - an articulate feminist from the tiny Diocese of Nevada - as the denomination's first female presiding bishop. "This ~as an important story." noted Ostling. "But was there anything all thai surprising about it ? Not really." Meanwhile, the bigger story- a chain reaction among parishes leaving the denomination - is "probably harder to cover because it is spread all over the country," he said .• The fall of the Rev. Ted Haggard as president of the National Association of Evangelicals was a big story in 2006, but the typical news year alwilys includes at least one sexy scandal of this kind. The list goes on. Every election year will include a wave of reports about 1he degree to which rcl.igious issues did or did not drive Republicans, and increasingly Democrats, to the polls.

What will the pope say that upsets people this year'' Which church-state case split the U.S. Supreme Court thi s time around? "The problem is that it \ hard to know if any one event in thi s stream of events is the definitive one, the truly landmark event," said Ostling. "At some point, things change and they stay changed." But journalists have to be patient, he said, because "people are looking for · answers to the big queslions, and they don't change what they believe overnight."

Local Briefs Girl Scout cookies on sale For the Record Middleport Police Foreclosures· William Rusher Clearly, it was in the interest of the United States that Putin should make Russia a peaceful ally of the West. In the following years, Putin's record has been, to say the least, uneven. The free-wheeling liberalism in both politics and economics that had characterized the Yeltsin regime gave way to growing controls. Private businessmen who had prospered mightily when Russia's economy was partially denationalized found their enterprises being renationalized, and a few of them even wound up in jail or exile. Independent radio stations, newspapers and magazines tended to go out of business, while Pl.1tin 's political allies dominated the Russian parliament. Last year he decreed that the governors of Russia 's provinces. previous!~ ele.:ted. would henceforth be appointed - by him. In foreign affairs. Putin. signed a 20-ycar friendship and cooperation treaty with China in 200 I, and supported the U.S . invasion of Afghanistan after Sept. II. But he joined France and Germany in opposing America's second Iraq war. And he has persisted stubbornly in trying to subdue the hostile and largely Muslim Chechnya. The Chechens have responded with a series of terrnrist allacks inside Russ ia (though Putin 's critics claim . he was behind some of them, to give him an excuse for further crackdowns). Finally, Putin has not hesitated to use Russia's oil and gas resources to bully neighboring Ukraine and Belarus, and even Western Europe. with threats of cut-offs. So Put in has clear Iy not opted lo make Russia a tame junior partner of the We st. But one wonders by what right the West expected any such thing? Today 's Russiu is a long comedown from the mighty Soviet Union. Its gross nationul product is almost laughable, and its population is uc,lually declining. Alcoholism is nearly as ubiquitous as the common cold. But il still boasts an enormnu' landmas ~ . a~d its has a l'enturies-long hi~tory of authoritarianism which seems to suit much 1'f the population better than the kind of unfettered democracy President Bush thinks the whole world is longing for . I suggest that we stop trying to force Russia into a Western mold for which it is wholly unprepared. In the long run - by which I mean several decades - Russia's attention is sure to be drawn ever more forcibly to the growth of Ghina, with which it shares a 4,000-mile border. As <;:hina grows, prospers, and expands its military,' the vast spaces of Siberia and other parts of eastern Russia are bound to look appetizing. Russia, even if its population stops shrinking. will be no match for it. Where can it look for allies and protectors. if not to 1he We"'' And the West. led by the United State,, will have its own profound reservation s abnut the expanswn of Chinese power. .

There is a presence, but smaller in numbers, of fighters from the Badr Brigade, the military wing of Iraq 's most powerful Shiite political organization. the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq. The Badr Brigades were trained and armed in Iran, where its leaders were in exile until the fall of Saddam. These groups have fought one another or the U.S. and Iraqi militaries for as long as three years and know their enemy. Through those battles. the Mahdi Army especially, has taken more and more territory in Baghdad, evicting Sunni restdents from mixed neighborhoods to produce purely Shiite enclaves deep into west Baghdad which once was Sunni or mixed. While Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has warned the Mahdi Army that it must finally lay down its arms or face all-out attack from hi s government troops backed by U.S. forces, the threat was not expected to unravel what has become a bold and very heavily armed fighting force that owes all loyalty to al-Sadr and none to alMaliki. Compounding the problem is the heavy infiltration of the Iraqi police, an overwhelmingly Shiite organization. by members of the Mahdi Army. Some in the organization have been trained in Iran by the elite Revolutionary Guards and their supp ly of weapons flow without interruption across the porous border. There are reports that an increasing number of the group have and are .trained to use silencer-equipped sniper rifles. They already hav e big stores of Kalasnikov automatic rilles and ammunition as well a~ rocket-propelled grenades and sophi sticated. armorpiercing roadside bombs. In the warren-like streets of many neighborhoods under Shiite control, including their home base of Sadr City, they would be a formidable force that could send Iraqi army forces into quick retreat, leaving embedded U.S. troops struggli ng in dang~rou s urban warfare and house-to-house combat, where the enemy knows the ground and U.S. forces don't. The Iranians also are believed to have helped arm the Sunni insurgents, who were already receiving money and ~uns from the other side ot Iraq.' through the desert border with Syria. Huge numbers of Saddam's former Baath Party organization and his government and military fled to Syria, where they found ready refuge . Many analysts believe that the increased number of Americans caught in such urban warfare would produce an exponential rise in U.S . casualties - far greater numbers than the spike that occurred in the second half of last year during the must recent bid ttl wipe out militants in Operation Together Forward . ~~!· Theatro.

She had been livin~ with my sister for a whtle. Joni has always been stubborn, but overall, she's always been a good kid. We talk a lot. Since school started, however, I've begun to see a change in her. Joni used to play a lot of sports, but not anymore. She recently got in trouble at school and just missed being expelled . .Then, the other day, I was looking through her binder and found a letter to a friend. This is the third one I have read, and it's mostly normal teenage stuff, except she lied about her father, with whom we do not associate. She remembers him from when she was little, but hasn't spoken to him in many years. I don't understand why she would lie about him. I don't want to ask Joni. because she will be upset that I read the letters. I know life hasn't been a bed of roses for either of us, yet she refuses to go to counsel- ing. She resents me for the time she had to live with her aunt, and I don't blame her. I have tried everything from buying her love, which got me nowhere but broke, to apologizing and explain· ing the circumstances and limited choices I had. I've also told her I can change the future, but not the past. Joni is a smart young lady, but lacks self-esteem. I worry that if her bad atti· tude continues, she might get herself into a lot of trouble, especially at school, where she is out of chances. I don't know what to do. Please help. - Worried Mom in L.A. Dear Worried: We wouldn't put much stock in what Joni says in her letters, but we urge you to stop snooping when there is nothing to justify it. If she finds out. your relationship may not recover. Joni no doubt harbors a lot of resentment that she was shunted off to her aunt. and if she is acting out, she real· ly should be in counseling, whether she wants it or not. If she won't see her school counselor, talk to the princi· pal and ask that school counseling be mandated as a condition of her "almost expelled" status. Also, con· sider making an appoint· ment with an outside pro· fessional for both of you. Dear Annie: Is it appropriate to date a man who is separated? There is no hope of reconciliation with his wife, but I don't know how long a divorce will take. If not, how long after the divorce is it appropriate to begin dating him? - Just Wondering Dear Wondering: If a couple is legally separated, dating is permtssible. (It's NOT permissible if he tells you he's separated when, in fact, ·he is still living with his wife.) Once a couple is divorced, both spouses are absolutely fair game, no waiting period required. Dear Annie: I read the letter from a mother who is worried about her 16-yearold daughter who is barely 4-feet-11 and looks 12 years old. Your advice was great. I'm a petite 4-feet- JJ. inches myself. and it has· n't stopped me from hav· ing a successful life.

Geathers signed a sixyear extension Thursday that will pay him $14 mil· lion next season in various bonuses and salary, making him one of the team's toppaid players. He can earn $32.5 milJion in salary and bonuses over the six-year deal. Incentives linked to sacks and Pro Bowl selections could raised the total to $33.75 million. Geathers had a $425,000 salary last season, his third in the NFL. He was a restricted free agent after the season, and became a priority after lead· ing the team with 10.5 sacks. Geathers was the first Bengal to have a double· di~it sack total since Alfred Wtlliams had 10 in 1992. The JO.S sacks were the most by a Bengals player since Eddie Edwards had 13 sacks in 1983 . Agent Bill Johnson and the team began in-depth talks about the extension in the middle of December. and negotiations heated up in the last few days. "It's a big commitment," Johnson said. "They shared with us all the things you want to hear, about how he's the kind of guy you like to have on the field and in the locker room and the community. And it recognizes that there's a premium on special pass rushers." Geathers was a fourth· round draft pick from Georgia in 2004. He started one game as a rookie, then moved from left end to the right side in his second season and started every !lame. The Bengals used h1m at tackle on passing downs, a move that didn't fit witl'l his strengths. He dropped 17 pounds in the offseason, alJowing him to use his speed as a passrushing end. Geathers' most visible play last season came in the opener, when he hit Kansas City quarterback Trent Green as he slid late at the end of a scramble. Geathers' shoulder hit Green's chest, and the force of the hit drove Green 's head backward into the ground. Green suffered a major concussion on the ~lay, which was not penahzed. The league reviewed the play and decided that Geathers had done nothing wrong. BY ScoTT WoLFE and a greal SPORTS CORRESPONDENT II points and 14 rebounds way, Soulhern never led .

She had been livin~ with my sister for a whtle. Joni has always been stubborn, but overall, she's always been a good kid. We talk a lot. Since school started, however, I've begun to see a change in her. Joni used to play a lot of sports, but not anymore. She recently got in trouble at school and just missed being expelled . .Then, the other day, I was looking through her binder and found a letter to a friend. This is the third one I have read, and it's mostly normal teenage stuff, except she lied about her father, with whom we do not associate. She remembers him from when she was little, but hasn't spoken to him in many years. I don't understand why she would lie about him. I don't want to ask Joni. because she will be upset that I read the letters. I know life hasn't been a bed of roses for either of us, yet she refuses to go to counsel- ing. She resents me for the time she had to live with her aunt, and I don't blame her. I have tried everything from buying her love, which got me nowhere but broke, to apologizing and explain· ing the circumstances and limited choices I had. I've also told her I can change the future, but not the past. Joni is a smart young lady, but lacks self-esteem. I worry that if her bad atti· tude continues, she might get herself into a lot of trouble, especially at school, where she is out of chances. I don't know what to do. Please help. - Worried Mom in L.A. Dear Worried: We wouldn't put much stock in what Joni says in her letters, but we urge you to stop snooping when there is nothing to justify it. If she finds out. your relationship may not recover. Joni no doubt harbors a lot of resentment that she was shunted off to her aunt. and if she is acting out, she real· ly should be in counseling, whether she wants it or not. If she won't see her school counselor, talk to the princi· pal and ask that school counseling be mandated as a condition of her "almost expelled" status. Also, con· sider making an appoint· ment with an outside pro· fessional for both of you. Dear Annie: Is it appropriate to date a man who is separated? There is no hope of reconciliation with his wife, but I don't know how long a divorce will take. If not, how long after the divorce is it appropriate to begin dating him? - Just Wondering Dear Wondering: If a couple is legally separated, dating is permtssible. (It's NOT permissible if he tells you he's separated when, in fact, ·he is still living with his wife.) Once a couple is divorced, both spouses are absolutely fair game, no waiting period required. Dear Annie: I read the letter from a mother who is worried about her 16-yearold daughter who is barely 4-feet-11 and looks 12 years old. Your advice was great. I'm a petite 4-feet- JJ. inches myself. and it has· n't stopped me from hav· ing a successful life.

Geathers signed a sixyear extension Thursday that will pay him $14 mil· lion next season in various bonuses and salary, making him one of the team's toppaid players. He can earn $32.5 milJion in salary and bonuses over the six-year deal. Incentives linked to sacks and Pro Bowl selections could raised the total to $33.75 million. Geathers had a $425,000 salary last season, his third in the NFL. He was a restricted free agent after the season, and became a priority after lead· ing the team with 10.5 sacks. Geathers was the first Bengal to have a double· di~it sack total since Alfred Wtlliams had 10 in 1992. The JO.S sacks were the most by a Bengals player since Eddie Edwards had 13 sacks in 1983 . Agent Bill Johnson and the team began in-depth talks about the extension in the middle of December. and negotiations heated up in the last few days. "It's a big commitment," Johnson said. "They shared with us all the things you want to hear, about how he's the kind of guy you like to have on the field and in the locker room and the community. And it recognizes that there's a premium on special pass rushers." Geathers was a fourth· round draft pick from Georgia in 2004. He started one game as a rookie, then moved from left end to the right side in his second season and started every !lame. The Bengals used h1m at tackle on passing downs, a move that didn't fit witl'l his strengths. He dropped 17 pounds in the offseason, alJowing him to use his speed as a passrushing end. Geathers' most visible play last season came in the opener, when he hit Kansas City quarterback Trent Green as he slid late at the end of a scramble. Geathers' shoulder hit Green's chest, and the force of the hit drove Green 's head backward into the ground. Green suffered a major concussion on the ~lay, which was not penahzed. The league reviewed the play and decided that Geathers had done nothing wrong. BY ScoTT WoLFE and a greal SPORTS CORRESPONDENT II points and 14 rebounds way, Soulhern never led .

"When the letter came back (from the NFL) and it said first two rounds, he said, 'Oh, my God. It's tough to stick around, you know?'" Eduardo said.

"Even though we lost the game, we got to play for !he national champiOnship. When I get back home, I going to wash it up real good and frame it." Hall said the loss buns because the team worked so hard to get to the game.

Rise statement. "I'm excited about it despi!e how I a~pear ri~ht now," he said. "I m lookmg forward to becoming a working man in society." His father, Eduardo, who played football at Michigan, said the family had never considered Anthony leaving early until the season built to a climax. "When the letter came back (from the NFL) and it said first two rounds, he said, 'Oh, my God. It's tough to stick around, you know?'" Eduardo said. The four juniors filed the paperwork at the urging of head coach Jim Tressel after the regular season to have their draft status evaluated by an NFL committee. Soon ·Notes: If Nash continues his pace of averaging more than 20 points and I 0 assists, he would become the first NBA guard to fm· ish the season with those figures since Tim Hardaway in 1992-93. ...

Lewis said he's sleep deprived. only geuing a couple hours after the championship. The Gators and Buckeyes also didn't even have time to have their dirty game jerseys laundered . They brought them to Hawaii with the BCS National Championship patch on them. "It means everything," Ohio State receiver Roy Hall said. "Even though we lost the game, we got to play for !he national champiOnship. When I get back home, I going to wash it up real good and frame it." Hall said the loss buns because the team worked so hard to get to the game. "To lose is one thing, but to lose in the fashion we did was kind of disappointing knowing how bad we wanted !hat game," he said. "They got a ring and we don't. But everybody's good people .... Someone had to lose that game, it just happened to be us." The Buckeyes still cannot believe they collapsed in the biggest game of the season. "It's still kind of a shock when I think about it," Zwick said. "Everything seemed to be going so well and to end your career with a game like that, it's hard to lake. But being out here in Hawaii takes your mind off it a lit!le bit." The Hula Bowl also is a binersweet moment for the Gators. It's their last taste of college football and the final time lhey'll don Florida helmets. . ''I'm going to wear it with pride," Lewis said. coun line. Then both clubs went cold hitting just 4-of13 collectively before Hunter grabbed a steal and drove baseline to baseline for a score, 41-29 Trimble. A Wolfe-Riffle goal and three-point 'Eddy buzzer beater put SHS back in the game 44-36 after three rounds. A couple early Southern turnovers gave Trimble an advantage in momentum and although Southern played tough (trading baskets most of the final round), they never got over the hump as Trimble hi.t badly need buckets ~oing down the stretch. Tnmble went 4-of-5 at one point, in an 8-3 run that virtually eliminated the Tornadoes. The final stood 54-46. Southern hit 16-of-5 1 overall. hitting 1-of-4 threes, 15-of-47 twos, and 9-16 at the line with 34 rebounds (Turley 14, Pickens six, Eddy six). Southern had 20 turnovers, one steal, five assists (Turley three) and nine fouls. NFL are miserable."

Back in London, not everyone was impressed . by Beckham's move. "He's rubbish," ~aid Steve Didcou, consultant mulling the deal from a pub.

Department stores would have sweaters in one style and one color, instead of racks and racks of every shape, size and color. We know Americans value choice.

It is a decision that many take for granted until the day we need care or assistance with a seemingly ordinary task, One size does not fit all, and this is especially true when it comes to long-term care. If one size did fit all, our nursing homes would be filled to capacity. By enabling people of any means to access the long-term care services they need in home and communitybased settings, we give them a degree of independence simply not available in institution-based care. As a result, they can contribute to their communities in new ways. Givin~ people with Medicaad more home and community options also helps the state serve more people at Jess cost and makes the most of our Medicaid dollars. Ultimately, coordinating all long-term care options could eliminate fragmentation in our delivery systems, enhance access to available resources, reduce .duplication and maximize our resources. Care in home and community settings often costs a fraction of institutional care. The Ohio Department of Aging offers several programs that ~ive Ohioans on Medicaad choices in Iongtermcare: • PASSPORT is a home- and comm\lnity- based Medicaid waiver program that provides in-home services for Medicaid-eligible seniors who must be 60 or older and need assistance with personal care .It enables folks to remain in their own homes safely and inde~endently for as long as possable. All at an average cost of$13,300 per client-less than one-quarter of what it would cost to serve the same individual in a nursing home. • The Home First Initiative helps seniors in nursing homes who wish to return to the · community do so in a timely manner.lt allows q_ualifying seniors who are m a nursing facility to be assessed and to transition to in-home care, by-passing any waiting lists. • Choices is a consumerdirected waiver program in which enrollees take an active role in directing their own care by hiring their own caregivers, including family members, friends or other individuals. Currently, the Choices program is offered in certain central and southeastern Ohio counties. • The Program of AllInclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE), a managed care program available in Cleveland and Cincinnati, provides participants with all of their needed health care, medical care and ancillary services.

GALLIPOLIS - My good friend, Helen Barcus, gave me this bit of nostalgic information that she received on her e-mail recently that deals with common phrases of yesteryear that have vanished from our daily conversations. Those of you who are under the age of 40-45 may not recall some of these old sayings and phrases that were very popular when we more mature seniors were your age or younger. We had cars that came equipped with "fender skirts" that · were formed to fit under the rear wheel well of the car and partially covered the rear wheels . The skirts gave the car a smooth attractive appearance, but could be a problem if a rear tire went flat and you could not remove them . Then came the "curb feelers," a pair of short-coiled wires that attached to the bottom of the front or rear fender, and gave off a scratching, metallic sound if you were getting too close to a curb while backing in. After all, we didn't want to rub our white wall ·tires against the dirty concrete curbing . How about that "steering knob" that bolted to the car's steering wheel, and you could easily steer, turn or even crank the steering wheel . with very little effort, as cars were not yet equipped with power steering. Somewhere along the line we quit _using the term "emergency brake ," which was there to use in the event your regular hydraulic brakes failed, either because all of the brake fluid had leaked out or evaporated, or the brake line had rusted through. We bad never heard of power brakes yet. It is now called the parking brake on vehicles, but I liked the sound of the term emergency brake. Nowadays, it is called the accelerator, but in our day it was known as the " foot feed" because some older cars still had the hand throttle that you used to control the speed or RPM of the engine. The hand throttle was a lever that extended out from the left side of the steering col· umn, and to slow down you pulled it down , and to speed up you shoved it up towards the wi~tdshield . But it was later replaced by the foot feed. How many of you can remember riding on the " running board" of a car made in the 1920s, '30s, ' 40s or '50s? Some trucks and SUVs still have the modern version of the running board that is used to enter and leave the cab of the vehicle. It was pure excitement to loop your arm through the open windows and hang on while enjoying the wind as you stood on the running board at speeds of 20 to 40 miles an hour. Remember how most makes of cars in the '30s to the '80s would easily run at speeds of I 00 to 130 miles an hour? In our present society, these dumpy little cars make lots of loud noises but could never run with an Olds 88 or a Hudson Hornet. We had a saying, "That an 88 or a Hornet would suck one of these sports cars right into the air cleaner." Good grief! How about something that was "store bought"? In our modern society, everything we wear is now store bought but when we were children , the girls wore dresses and undergarments that . were handmade at home and the boys wore "hand me down" shirts, pants, socks, shoe , and shorts that had been pretty well used up by the older boys in the family . But these clothes were kept very clean because Mom washed them on a wash board using homemade lye soap , and they were air dried on a clothes line in the bac k yard. Buick came out with a " Dynaflow Transmission," Chrysler introduced the "Push Button Transmission ," and General Motors sold Chevrolets and Oldsmobiles with "Hydramatic Transmissions." These new -fangled transmissions eliminated the need for kids to learn to drive using the old fashioned "stick s'hift ," and I know people today who are in their 40s and 50s who cannot operate a vehicle not equipped with some type of automatic transmission . I guess if you are reading this and can remember most of these things that you are either my age or every close to it. Let us continue to enjoy what we have today, but never forget the great memories we have accumulated as we have advanced from our youth to a valuable senior citizen in today 's world . chimer we bear~ e•gage in· out in publie just t.ause tbey ~ to cwry a cell phone. ~. tileR is some and some bad in lbr:s stateof-abe-art ~o:ommn•icatoJs. goue THE MEDICAL PLAZA Gene Abels, M.D Balusamy Subbiah, M.D. • Gerald E.

She worried because of a family history of dementia and a fellow church mem-· her's recent diagnosis, at 54, of early onset Alzheimer's disease. Mostly, she worried because she was only 43 . "Just my short-term memory - I was really noticing a shift in it, and i~ was very annoying," says McClain, now 45, a marriage and family therapist from Los Angeles . She l\Ought a doctor's advice and became part of a two-week study on improving brain health. The results of that study and other research suggest that lifestyle choices can be as important as genetics in determining how our brains age, says Dr. Gary Small, director of the UCLA Center on Aging, who led the study. "Our brains age just the way our bodies age, but there's a lot that we can do to fight against it and keep ourselves mentally fit," says Small, author of "The Memory Bible" (Hyperion, 2002) and "The Memory Prescription" (Hyperion, 2004). Simple lifestyle changes can help combat, and sometimes reverse, the memory loss that comes with getting older, Small says. And while there are no guarantees, these changes may prevent or delay Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. Improve your diet Research suggests a hearthealthy diet is also good for the brain, says Elizabeth Edgerly, chief program officer for the Alzheimer's Association of Northern California and spokesperson for the group's "Maintain Your Brain" campaign. Avoid high fat, high cholesterol foods, and choose those rich in omega-3 fatty acids (fish, beans, walnuts), antioxidants (dark -skinned fruits and vegetables) and vitamins. Check with your doctor before adding vitamin supplements . Tobacco and excess alcohol are no-no's. Small suggests eating five small meals a day to maintain a consistent blood-sugar level and keep the brain full of nutrients. It's OK to indulge occasionally, he adds. "Don't deprive yourself too much. Have· a little bit of that favorite food, but in small portions." Exercise Physical fitness protects against high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, stroke and diabetes all risk factors for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia. '!Your body's health can very much predict the health of your brain," says Carey Gleason, a dementia researcher at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "It's important to view the body and the brain as a system working together." At 93, Arthur Zitzner of West Orange, N.J., walks and goes to the gym in the winter and swims in the summer. "I · have lots of interests," says the former sales manager. With lively eyes and an infectious grin, Zitzner was one of several residents at Green Hill retirement center who attributed the mental fitness they enjoy today to exercise routines established decades ago . Edgerly agrees. "You need to make the changes in your 40s and 50s if you want to reduce your risk 30 years from now." Stay connected Social interaction contributes to brain vitality, Edgerly says. Georgia Macdonough, 80, believes it. As a Red Cross volunteer, the retired nurse practitioner spends weeks at natural disaster sites, most recently in the Gulf Coast region after Hurricane Katrina. When she's home in Phoenix, she juggles cooking classes and church activities, and enjoys plannin¥ trips to Paris, also for cooktng classes. "I am convinced that being active has really kept my mind and body in tone," says Macdonough, a widow, adding that she made healthy eatin~ and exercise a greater prionty after she was diagnosed with diabetes several years ago. Today, she walks and swims regularly and gives her homemade desserts to friends and family. Exercise your mind Any activity that requires focus and concentration fits the bill. "There isn't a study that can say doing Sudoku is better than doing crosswords or playing chess," Edgerly says . "Find something that you like to do and that you can realistically do every day or every other day." Small suggests challenging yourself with something new. "If you're a writer, try knitting." The experts warn against watching too much television. Even news programs or quiz shows like "Jeopardy" are "not as stimulatmg or en~aging as a conversation or d01ng something," Edgerly says. The same can be said for reading, adds Edgerly, who suggests looking for material "outside your normal sphere." Reduce stress Anxiety, depression and sleep deprivatton can contribute to memory loss, but usually the loss is reversible if the cause is identified and treated, Gleason says . Physical activity is one of the best ways to reduce stress, but short visualization exercises or deep breathing in the middle of a busy day can also help, Small says. "Multitaskers" would benefit simply by eliminating a task or two. McClain, a mother of two, 'learned through Small's study that stress was a' major factor behind her forgetfulness. "People in their 40s and 50s have a lot on their shoulders," she says. "It's really easy to get into the swing of getting zero time for yourself." She now begins each day with stretching and breathing exercises, making an effort not to "get up and immediately jump into m~ kids' world." She takes dally walks, does yoga twice a week, keeps . healthy snacks in her car and office, and makes Sudoku, the popular numbers puzzle, her daily bralnteaser. She credits the routine with restoring her memory. "It's not that I altered my activities, but I added some self-care," McClain says.

U,-_, Glaucoma not just for the eldedy Housing options abound for seniors (MS) - When people buy homes,,often a sense ofpennanence comes with that purchase. For those closer to middle a~e. a home is bought with the tdea that it's the place you'll spend the rest of your life . As many homeowners find out, however, that's ,1ften not the case. A multitude of reasons exist why senior citizens often decide to sell their homes and seek other living options. A greater - sense of freedom, for instance , that allows seniors to shirk some of the responsibilities that come with home ownership and travel inore frequently is one reason. Another common reason for selling the house is to be closer to family, giving many seniors the chance to visit their grandchildren more frequently. Yet another reason is health. Some seniors find it's simply too difficult to make it around or maintain a home that was onee perfect for a big family, but is now just too large and time-consuming to keep in shlqle . .. Such a wide vanety of reasons is matched by the many housing -, 5 ,,..... There are many options today in senior housing, providing all levels of care and recreational facilities. options seniors have when they ed, so younger retirees looking decide to sell their homes.

Typically, the individual's needs. retirement communities are Retirement community These are often age-restrict- limited to people ages 55 ancJ · • Page 17 2007 Winter Senior Quarterly over, or ages 62 and over. 1be former communities are open to residents under the mimmum age as tong as they live with someone who ineets the requirement. The latter communities, however, often require all residents meet the minimum age standard. Retirement communities are also more attuned to active senior citizens, who prefer activities, which are typically offered by t~e community. Laws used to mandate such activities be offered, but that's no longer the case. Still, most communities have maintained the practice, making these places one of the more ideal options for seniors lookin~ to lessen some of their responstbility but maintain an active lifestyle. Congreg•te housing Con~regate housing is similar to semor apartments. Seniors live in separate apartment& that they can either rent or purchase. Congregate hollSing typically offers programs for recreation and other opportunities for seniors to get to know their neigJtbors. Oftentimes, seniors who choose to live in such communities do so within a relatively small proximity to where they owned their home, meaning they're more likely to see familiar faces. In addition to reereation, congregate housing also typk~lly offers additional services, such as Alzheimer's care, assisted living and even nursing in separate residences on the premise. Planned meals, trips, and even regular religious services (be they on-premises or organized as trips) are also typical of these living situations. Seniors-only apartments It's easy to confuse seniorsonly apartments with congregatehousing,thou~~y'renot entirely similar. gories of seniors-only apartments differ greatly, depending on rent. Marltet-.-.e ~nts are typically affordable, while aboveIDIIJ't.et rate are more luxurious, an amenity that will be costly. . . [lfl . (MS) - As the old sayinf. goes, "seeing is believing.' In the case of glaucoma, perhaps the adage should be adJusted to say "seeing and feeling is believing." Though nearly 3 million Americans suffer from glaucoma, the Glaucoma Research Foundation reports that half of those cases go unreported . Since most people with glaucoma still see and feel fine, they believe they have no vision problems. .Glaucoma does not necessarily cause noticeable symptoms, at least not ones most people would assume are not JUSt a part of aging. But that does not mean it's not doing damage, as glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States, accounting for between 9 and 12 percent of all blindness cases throughout the country. Because there are few or no symptoms to indicate the presence of glaucoma, regular eye exams bring on even greater importance. In addition, knowmg what glaucoma is and how it can affect everyday life can lend a greater sense of awareness about this potentially damaging disease. Types of glaucoma There are two types of ~laucoma, ~ach of which mvolves flutd and pressure buildup on the eye. • Open Angle (or Wide Angle) Glaucoma: The more common type of glaucoma, open angle glaucoma occurs when fluid cannot exit the eye through the trabecular meshwork, or the drain of the eye. Essentially, the eye's drainage canals become blocked , increasin~ inner eye pressure as flutd cannot drain. When a person has open angle glaucoma, these drainage canals are similar to a clo~ged sink. While the drain m the sink itself is not clogged, the pipe going underneath the sink is. Similarly, the openings to the drainage canals are fine, but are clogged further in. • Angle Closure Gl~a : Angle closure glaucoma occurs when the angle between the iris and the cornea (where a drainage channel for the eye is located) is too narrow, resulting in poor drainage . This type of glaucoma is far less common than open angle ~laucoma, and often results m sudden pressure build-up in the eye. Who is at risk? Glaucoma can occur in youn~ adults, children and even mfants, though it's most common in adults over the age of 40 . African-Americans are more likely to get glaucoma and often do so at a younger age and with more severe symptoms, such as a greater loss of vision than other victims.

U,-_, Glaucoma not just for the eldedy Housing options abound for seniors (MS) - When people buy homes,,often a sense ofpennanence comes with that purchase. For those closer to middle a~e. a home is bought with the tdea that it's the place you'll spend the rest of your life . As many homeowners find out, however, that's ,1ften not the case. A multitude of reasons exist why senior citizens often decide to sell their homes and seek other living options. A greater - sense of freedom, for instance , that allows seniors to shirk some of the responsibilities that come with home ownership and travel inore frequently is one reason. Another common reason for selling the house is to be closer to family, giving many seniors the chance to visit their grandchildren more frequently. Yet another reason is health. Some seniors find it's simply too difficult to make it around or maintain a home that was onee perfect for a big family, but is now just too large and time-consuming to keep in shlqle . .. Such a wide vanety of reasons is matched by the many housing -, 5 ,,.....

The latter communities, however, often require all residents meet the minimum age standard. Retirement communities are also more attuned to active senior citizens, who prefer activities, which are typically offered by t~e community. Laws used to mandate such activities be offered, but that's no longer the case. Still, most communities have maintained the practice, making these places one of the more ideal options for seniors lookin~ to lessen some of their responstbility but maintain an active lifestyle. Congreg•te housing Con~regate housing is similar to semor apartments. Seniors live in separate apartment& that they can either rent or purchase. Congregate hollSing typically offers programs for recreation and other opportunities for seniors to get to know their neigJtbors. Oftentimes, seniors who choose to live in such communities do so within a relatively small proximity to where they owned their home, meaning they're more likely to see familiar faces. In addition to reereation, congregate housing also typk~lly offers additional services, such as Alzheimer's care, assisted living and even nursing in separate residences on the premise. Planned meals, trips, and even regular religious services (be they on-premises or organized as trips) are also typical of these living situations. Seniors-only apartments It's easy to confuse seniorsonly apartments with congregatehousing,thou~~y'renot entirely similar. gories of seniors-only apartments differ greatly, depending on rent.

In the case of glaucoma, perhaps the adage should be adJusted to say "seeing and feeling is believing." Though nearly 3 million Americans suffer from glaucoma, the Glaucoma Research Foundation reports that half of those cases go unreported . Since most people with glaucoma still see and feel fine, they believe they have no vision problems. .Glaucoma does not necessarily cause noticeable symptoms, at least not ones most people would assume are not JUSt a part of aging. But that does not mean it's not doing damage, as glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness in the United States, accounting for between 9 and 12 percent of all blindness cases throughout the country. Because there are few or no symptoms to indicate the presence of glaucoma, regular eye exams bring on even greater importance. In addition, knowmg what glaucoma is and how it can affect everyday life can lend a greater sense of awareness about this potentially damaging disease. Types of glaucoma There are two types of ~laucoma, ~ach of which mvolves flutd and pressure buildup on the eye. • Open Angle (or Wide Angle) Glaucoma: The more common type of glaucoma, open angle glaucoma occurs when fluid cannot exit the eye through the trabecular meshwork, or the drain of the eye. Essentially, the eye's drainage canals become blocked , increasin~ inner eye pressure as flutd cannot drain. When a person has open angle glaucoma, these drainage canals are similar to a clo~ged sink. While the drain m the sink itself is not clogged, the pipe going underneath the sink is. Similarly, the openings to the drainage canals are fine, but are clogged further in. • Angle Closure Gl~a : Angle closure glaucoma occurs when the angle between the iris and the cornea (where a drainage channel for the eye is located) is too narrow, resulting in poor drainage . This type of glaucoma is far less common than open angle ~laucoma, and often results m sudden pressure build-up in the eye. Who is at risk? Glaucoma can occur in youn~ adults, children and even mfants, though it's most common in adults over the age of 40 . African-Americans are more likely to get glaucoma and often do so at a younger age and with more severe symptoms, such as a greater loss of vision than other victims. Those who are also at a greater risk of glaucoma are: • People with a family history of glaucoma • People with poor vision • Diabetics • People taking any systemic corticosteroid medication, such as prednisone. Are there any symptoms? In most instances, there are not noticeable symptoms, a frightening thought when considering vision lost to be glaucoma cannot recouped.

Earl Fraley loves to drive, and the 100-year-old Mingo County man doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. "That is what has kept him going, to be able to drive, keeP: ing his independence," satd Fraley's granddaughter, Sheila Erwin. That sentiment is not unusual, experts say. Independence is one of the main reasons some drivers stay on the fO!Ids long after their reflexes slow and their eyesight wanes. And many older people, especially those in rural parts of the count!)', just don't have any other way to get around because public transportation may not be an option. · Fraley is one of 20 people over the age of 100 with valid driver's licenses in West VI!Jinia. Of the state's 11 million license holders. about I0 pen:ent are over 65. Nationwide, about one in seven drivers are over 65, said Elinor Ginzler, AARP's national director for livable communities. By 2029, that ratio will be closer to one in four because of aging baby boomers and advances in medicine. Aging motorist~ are expected to drive reviews of state licensing requirements and innovations in transportation technology. West Virginia, which ranks behind Aorida and Pennsylvania in the percentage of residents over 65, is one of 22 states that does not require older drivers to meet extra screenings to keep their driver's licenses. In Fraley's case, that didn't seem to matter. According to his family and the Division of Motor Vehicles official who renewed the retired minister's driver's license in September, Fraley is a great example of a fit driver. Although older drivers have fewer accidents, calls fur additional tests for drivers over 65 have increased in the aftennath of several high-profile accidents, including one in which a man plowed into a crowded Los Angeles farmer's market in 2003, killing 10 people and injuring 63 others. Last week, George Russell Weller, now 89, was convicted of 10 counts of felony manslaughter. Doug lbompson, manager of driver licensing for West Virginia's DMV, supports increased screenings but said the key is to make sure they remove unsafe drivers, regardless of age. "Someone at 70 may actually be able to see better and drive better than someone at 40 ," he said. Illinois and New Hampshire are the only states to mandate road tests for older drivers, specifically targeting people over 75, according to AAA. Other states require more freq_uent license renewals for older drivers or proof of good vision or overall health after a certain age is reached. Some states, however, show respect for older drivers by waiving or reducing license renewal fees. After motorists tum 65 in Tennessee, their licenses must be renewed every five years.

Fewer than one-third of such patients now get their blocked arteries reopened within 90 minutes of arrival, as guidelines recommend. The risk of dying goes up 42 percent if care is delayed even half an hour longer. "There's a very, very large opportunity here to improve patient care," said Dr. John Brush, a Norfolk, Va., heart specialist who helped the American College of Cardiology desigri the new project, which is to be launched Monday at an American Heart Association conference in Chicago. Jim Kern, 47 , of Norfolk, experienced both extremes . When he had his first heart attack on Aug. 22. he endured excruciating pain while filling out mundane paperwork and waiting as triage nurses changed shifts. It took nearly four hours to get proper care. When he had a second attack on Oct. 30 -'after the hospital adopted new rapid-care measures - doctors "were there within 15 minutes of the time I hit the door and were already starting to do the prep," Kern said.·"The attention and everything I was given was a difference of day and night." Major medical groups and government agencies have endorsed the-project, including the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, whose director, Dr. Elizabeth Nabel, called it the biggest heart care initiative since paramedics were trained to do CPR in the early 1990s. It targets heart attacks caused by a total or near-total blockage of a major artery that prevents enough oxygen from reaching the heart tissue. About a third of the 865 ,000 heart attacks in the United States each year and to million worldwide are of this type. The preferred remedy ts angioplasty, in which doctors snake a tube through a blood vessel in the groin to the blockage. A tiny balloon is inflated to flatten the crud, and a mesh scaffold called a stent usually is placed to prop the artery open. Guidelines have long called for a "door-to-balloon" time of 90 minutes, "but we just haven't engineered our emergency rooms to cut out some of these steps that aren't needed" and cause delays, Nabel said. · With fundmg from her Yale University agency, researchers Elizabeth Bradley and Dr. Harlan Krumholz surveyed 365 hospitals and found six measures that consistently helped, and the average time they saved: - Letting ER doctors activate the catheterization lab and prepare it for angioplasty instead of waiting for a cardiologist to review a case and decide what to do (8.2 minutes). · -Establishing a one-call system so a central operator pages an angioplasty team instead of having ER staff hunt down phone numbers and individual ya{{ia County Councif onJtging -.... .... , mnll.. lllllllll. . ..., •Pap21 ' doctors on call ( 13.8 minutes). - Having the ER activate the cath lab when paramedics alert them that an electrocardiogram done in the ambulance shows the patient is suffering a heart attack ( 15.4 minutes). • Expecting staff to be at the cath lab within 20 minutes of being paged (19 .3 minutes) . • Having a cardiologist on site at all times ( 14.6 minutes). • Giving immediate feedba~k to the staff on how they did on each case (8.6 minutes). Hospitals participating in the campaign pledge to get fast care to patients and to generally follow such steps. Most involve internal procedural changes and little cost, say doctors connected with the campaign. "If each one cuts out 5 minutes here and 10 minutes there, it starts to add up," Brush said. The early action to call in staff and activate the cath lab resulted in very few false alarms - one or two every six months, researchers found . Also, steps like having paramedics do EKGs on the way to the hospital turned out to matter less than what hospitals did with the information. " It's only when they acted on the pre-hospital electrocardiograms that they real Iy speeded up the time" to treatment , Krumholz said. Hospitals now are wasting too much time summoning too many people to consult on a case before starting treatment, Bradley said. "You can imagine all those calls and all those people involved," she said . "Our recommendation is to allow the emergency room physician to decide" and assemble a team, "and they should be able to do it with one single call." Study results were published online by the New England Journal of Medicine and will appear in its Nov. 30 print edition.

See Page 81 BSERGENTeMYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE- There will be no coal mined within the corporation limits of Racine, including the area which includes the village's well fields, this according to Racine Mayor J. Scott Hill. Hill's statement wasn't a demand but what he said was told to him by representatives associated with Gatling Ohio, LLC during a recent, informal meeting with Clerk-Treasurer Dave Spencer and Racine Council members also in attendance. Gatling Ohio, LLC has filed a mining permit with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) for an area just outside of Racine on Yellow bush Road. ODNR confirmed the permit is for a continuous room and pillar mining operation. The permit is for mming 1,894.9 acres of underground coal reserves while the surface operation is estimated to expand over 80.8 acres. Until now there'd been speculation and worry the mining permit area would include mining beneath the village's aquifer. Though the permit hasn't been made public officials in Racine are now resting a little easier after hearing the permit wouldn't include the well fields, especially since the village's new $2.3 million water improvement project is nearing completion. Hill said he felt the meeting went well and the representatives conveyed a willingness to be "community friendly." According to Hill pan of being "community friendly" was defined as working with the village to maintain roads and using a conveyor belt to deliver coal from the plant to the river for loading onto barges, keeping coal trucks off of village streets. "They said it (the mining operation) would be a nice looking facility that is equal to or better than the facility in New Haven. W.Va. ," Hill said. "They said it may employ around 100 people."
