Hospitals across the country were facing some 'of the same problems and challenges in caring for their patients that the staff was facing at Lakin. Because we found someone who had actually observed Freeman operate at Lakin and who was willing to share his story, we chose to develop this example." According to the press release for the program which will be broadcast nationally: "The lobotomy was hailed by The New York Times as a 'surgery of the soul,' a landmark medical procedure promising hope to mentally ill patients. Championed by neurologist Freeman, this 'last resort' caught on fast. A decade later, Freeman was decried as a moral morister and the lobotomy as a barbaric mistake of modem medicine.

A new project aims to see how well they can help heal high blood pressure, diahetes and other ailments, too. . It's part · of a growing movement to offer medical care for the poor and uninsured in the places where they regularly gather. "We're taking a window of opportunity approach," ·says Bill Solberg, director of community services for Columbia St. Mary 's Hospital in Milwaukee, which co-founded the food pantry project. "We know we can see these people once a month." Despite an increasing number of free medical clinics, treatment is hard for the needy to track down. That's especially true for the nation's top health problems - high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol that require ongoing care even when the person feels no symptoms if they're to avoid heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure and amputations. Clinics require a special trip, a long wait. perhaps a baby sitter, annoyances for the well-to-do but huge obstacles for someone who must take three buses to reach the doctor or who loses a day of pay for the time off.

The seriously ill will be sent out for. more advanced care, and nurses will enroll patients who qualify into Medicaid or other health programs.

The markers celebrate ·historic events. natural wonders, inventors, American Indians, settlers. entertainers, artists, athletes - su · ~ as the late Ohio State football coach Woody Hayes- and others. . "Historic markers have transformed our landscape into a history lesson of interesting places, people and events," said William Laidlaw Jr., executive director and chief executive officer of the Ohio Histo[ical Society. The roots of the program trace back to . 1953, when the Ohio Sesquicentennial . Commission began erecting blue, Ohio-shaped markers at communities' corporate" limits, noting in l 3 words or less something historically significant about the place. Many people felt these brief descriptions were insufficient. So in 1957 Ohio began putting up state historical markers, cast-aluminum signs hearing up to 300 words. The first was in Akron. It denotes the significance to Ohio the settlement of Portage Path, the carrying-place between the Cuyahoga and Tuscarawas rivers. The most recent marker, dedicated Dec. 3 in North Olmsted, celebrates the Springvale Ballroom, a dancing pavilion built by the grandson of an · English immigrant. · Proposed markers are nominated by individuals, public agencies or private organizations. which do the research and submit a request to the state historical society. J.D. Britton, director of the society's local history .office, checks the facts and generally revises the proposed text, sometimes adding information. "I think the marker should.be a good AP photo In this May 1 file photo, a student walks past a new Ohio Historical marker commemorating the 1970 Kent State University shootings on the campus in Kent. Like a history book with its pages scattered from the sky, Ohio 's landscape is bejeweled with state historical markers. There are currently 1,210, and the program that gave rise to them is celebra~ing its 50th birthday. story," Britton said. Few proposed mark.ers are rejected; those that are often attempt to advertise a business. Last year, all 70 proposed markers were accepted. "What is worthy is what a community feels is worthy," Britton said. "We're not in the business of saying, 'No, you can't have a marker."' He doesn't expect the well to run dry when it comes to material for markers. "Every community has a lot of stories to tell," he said. The number of proposals have increased since a grants program was established in 2006. The program gives annual grants of $750 to 20 proposals to help pay for the marker. · which can cost tip to $2, 150. While each marker has the · same shape, some have graphics and some have text on both sides. " Once a proposal is approved, it is . sent to Sewah Studios in Marietta in southeast Ohio, a foundry that has produced the markers since t,he program began and also makes historical signs for use outside Ohio. · Some states have even more robust marker programs than Ohio. For example, Pennsylvania has more than 2,000 markers.

On thi s date: In 1776, the British suffered a major defeat in the Batile of Trenton during the Revolutionary War. In 1799. George Washington was eulogized by Col. Henry Lee as "first in war. first in peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen." In 1917. during World War I, President Wilson issued a proclamation authorizing the government to take over operation of the nation's railroads. In 1941 , Winston Churchill became the . first British prime minister to address a joint meeting of the U.S. Congress. In 1947, heavy snow blanketed the Northeast , burying New York City under 26.4 inches of snow in 16 hours; the severe weather was blamed for some 80 deaths.

When Mitt Romney appeared on "Meet the Press" a week before Christmas, there wasn't even five minutes of an hour-long program devoted to Iraq. That wouldn't have happened had Romney been on as recently as last spring and summer. Just ask the Senate candidates who were on the same program in the run -up to the November 2006 elections if they were asked about Iraq, and how often.

LOS ANGELES (AP) _: Kobe Bryant as ked to be traded last · spring in part because he wanted to play for a team that could contend for a championship . He j ust might have gotten his wi sh by siaying put. Bryant scored 26 of hi s 38 points in the second halt , Andrew B'ynum had a careerhigh 2.8 lx>ints to go with 12 rebounds and a season-high four assists, and the Lakers beat the Phoenix Suns 122115 on Tuesday for their ninth win in II games. 'The • victory . lifted the Lakers (18-10) to a seasonhigh e ight games over .500 and within one game of the Pacific . Division- leading Suns {19-9), who lost for the fifth time in eight games. Bryant , who complail)ed about a lack of talent around him, has gotten plenty of help recently, especially from the 20-year-old Bynum , who shot 11 -of-13 in outplaying Phoenix center Arnare Stoudemire. , Bynum left 10 a . roar of approval from. the Staples Center crowd of 18,997 and a hand-slap from Bryant with 11.5 seconds to play. Derek Fisher added 19 points, Lamar Odom had I5 points and 14 rebounds, and Trevor Ariza scored 14 points in his first start since being acquired from Orlando last month . Steve Nash led . the Suns with 24 {JOints and 14 assists. ·Six of hts teammates scored in double figures including Stoudemire, who had 19 points but only six rebounds, . Shawn Marion , who h~d I5 points and 10 rebounds, Raja Bell, who also scored 15 , and Grant Hill, who added 14. The game was the first between the teams since the Lakers stunned the Suns 11998 in Phoenix on Nov. 2. Los Angeles coach Phil Jackson angered Phoenix coach Mike 0' Antoni when he called a timeout right after the Suns called one, with 4:55 to play and the outcome already decided. Jackson said after that game that he was just getting a mandatory timeout out of the way. "It's · not a big deal," 0' Antoni said before this -game, citing his team's poor play as the main reason fur his short fuse. · 'That's the whole crux of it ," D' Antoni said before adding: " ! can live without being in his good graces. I'll) , sure he ca n li ve with not bemg in mine." The Suns eliminated the Lakers in ·the first round of the pl <iyoffs the past two years. Bryant, who became the youngest player ever to reach 20,000 career points Sunday in New York, moved past Tom Chambers into 30tl\ place on the career list with his 31st point of this game, which came on corkscrew ju'm per that gave the Lakers a 102-95 lead. Neither team led by more than seven points until Bryant made a jumper and two free throws. giving the Lakers a 110-100 lead with 4 :21 remainin'g. The Suns didn ' t pose a serious threat after that. Neither team led by more than· five points dunng the third quarter; which ended with the Lakers on top 92-89. Bryant sq.>red I 5 points in the period. capping his effort by making a 3-pomter with 33.3 seconds to play and a reverse dunk with 3.4 seconds left. . With Bryant on the bench·, Bynum scored five points during a 9-0 run that gave the Lakers a 37-30 lead: Fisher scored 13 points in a 4 112minute span late in the second quarter to help the Lakers . · stay on top , but eight points by Nash in the' tina!

Son uf. The former· Okl ahoma . coach won't be rooting for the -Mountaineers when they face the Sooners in the Fiesta Bowl. But he doc , gus h about how West Virginia's' no-huddle offe nse works. Just as Sw itze r helped transform Oklahoma's wishbone into the most prolific rushing attac k in co llege football hi storv. West Virginia thri ves iit the runbased spread fo rmation. "They've got a playboo k that works." Switzer told The Associated Press in a rece nt telephone interview rrom Norman, Okla. "I' ve loved their offense. When I saw them run it the first time, I loved it. I said this is similar to something I would do if I was college coaching again." It's a system that may be used for the last time at West Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl, unless coach Rich Rodri guez' s successor retains it. Rodri gue z was hired at Michigan on Dec. 16 and isn't going to the bowl. West Virginia annually has one of the nation 's top rushing attacks. The I Jth-ranked Mountaineers ( 10-2) can earn a third straight I t-win season - a feat that can be matched only by Southern Cal and LSU - if they beat the third-ranked Sooners (I I2) on Jan. 2. Since the arrival of running back Steve Slaton and quarterback Pat White three years ago, West Virginia has averaged 274 yards rushing or better per game and ranked , no worse than fourth in the nation on the ground. Switzer remembers seeing White as a freshman two years ago, when he led the Mountaineers to a win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. White has surpassed I ,000 yards rushing in 2006 and 2007. He had a career-high 247 yards against Syracuse last year and became the eighth player in NCAA history to throw and pass for more than 200 yards in a 2006 game against "They ' re more deceptive than the wishbone. The wishbone was an . eas t-west offense," Switzer said . "This offense he runs · is more decepti ve because you run counters, you run options off the counters. It's just totally lined up to be able to go misdirection." It took several years for Rodriguez's offense to attain its run-oriented label. It is rooted in the run-and-shoot passing gallery of Mouse Davis, who served as offensive coordinator in I 988-90 with !he Detroit Lions. Rodri guez took over at then-NAtA Glenville State in 1990 but won just one game and staned his current systern in 1991. He knew he couldn' t tnatch the size of opposing defenses, so he got innovative, going without a huddle with the quanerback in shotgun formation · and spreading out the tield. In I 993, Glenville's Jed Drenning threw for 3,593 yards and wide receiver Chris George caught 117 passes. George still holds Division !I records for single-season receiving yards ( I ,876) in I 993 and singlegame catches (23) in 1994. By 1997, Rodriguez had become Tommy Bowden's offensive coordinator at Tulane. Shaun King threw for 3,500 yards and 38 touchdowns the following season, with Rodriguez seeing him as another running back. King gained 633 yards on the ground, ranking third on the team. Rodriguez followed Bowden to Clemson, where Woody Dantzler became the first player in NCAA history to pass for more than 2,000 yards and rush for more than I ,000 in a regular season. .Rodriguez took over at West Virginia in 200L Rasheed Marshall continued Rodriguez's trend of rushing quanerbacks, compiling 861 yards in 2004. White took over in the middle of the 2005 season and has gone 25-4 as a staner and has rushed for a Big East quanerback record with 3,356 yards.

The ordinance raises the water rates by $1 .50 for. the minimum usage of 2,000 gallons . For every 1,000 gallons used over the 2,000 gallon minimum, cu stomers will pay $1 more than previ- .· ously charged . The rates are effective Jan , I, 2008. LCCD will raise its rates by 35 cents per I ,000 gallons. Rutland currently purchases a minimum of 2,000 gallons at a rate of $21. This year the water fund has had trouble meeting expenses, ending up in the red on several occasions before the increase from LCCD was ever announced. Council passed the .ordinance by emergency measure at this month' s regular meeting which also included the resi~nation of one council member and the mstallation of another, while outgoing Mayor April Burke was recognized for her service to the village. Burke was given a commemorative plaque and Christmas arrangement for ' her dedication to the village during her last meeting as mayor.
