Many seniors do not eat as well as they should. Sometimes this is due to physical limitations or financial issues. Some medications may reduce appetite or medical conditions like arthritis may make it difficult to prepare meals. Lack of transportation makes shopping more difficult for seniors. Poor memory and dementia related conditions can impact the ability to eat on a regular schedule and remember what foods to buy. A person may skip a meal because they do not remember whether or not they have already eaten. Loneliness and depression can also decrease a person's appetitie.
Here are some tips to be sure you receive proper nutrition:
- Avoid eating alone – make a date to have lunch or dinner with family, friends or neighbors to help you enjoy meals
- Join a senior center or other adult program to make new friends and have meals there
- If you are experiencing a loss of appetitie, ask your doctor if it could be related to a medication you are taking.
- If you are having difficulty chewing, check with your dentist but in the meantime, eating steamed vegetables and softer foods like fruit, yogurt, eggs etc can provide the necessary nutrition
- If a dry mouth makes it difficult to swallow, take a drink of water after each bite of food.
- If you can't shop or cook for yourself, take advantage of home delivery services such as Fresh Direct or netgrocer.com Ask a friend or family member if they would be willing to shop for you.
- Keep extra non-perishable food on hand in case of an weather or health emergency that would prevent an older person from being able to get to the market.
- Do not use supplements as a substitute for healthy foods without discussing it with their physician. Since older people metabolize certain medications and vitamins differently, a supplement may be toxic to them and have an interaction with other medications they may be taking.
- Make sure you are eating a variety of foods and healthy snacks! You will feel better inside and out.

Family doctor decides not to appeal decision against to strike him off
6:00am Saturday 19th January 2013 in News By Emily Flanagan, Reporter
A FAMILY doctor's nine year battle to clear his name has come to an end, after he announced "with a heavy heart" he would not appeal against the decision to strike him off.
Northallerton GP Derek Keilloh broke the news yesterday (Friday, January 18) to the hundreds of well-wishers and former patients who campaigned to try and reverse the decision to ban him from practising medicine.
Mr Keilloh had been found guilty of misleading and dishonest conduct following the death of Iraqi prisoner Baha Mousa in Basra in 2003.
In December the Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) decided to erase his name from the Medical Register, ending his career as a doctor.
Dr Keilloh, now 38, was a newly-qualified doctor with the Queen's Lancashire Regiment when he tried to save 26-year-old Mr Mousa, who had been beaten by British troops.
The hearing was told Dr Keilloh had had no dealings with Baha Mousa until he was called to the detention facility after he collapsed.
Dr Keilloh tried to resuscitate him, but was unable to revive him.
The doctor claimed he did not see any injuries other than dried blood around his nose, but the Iraqi had suffered 93 injuries, including fractured ribs and a broken nose.
The MPTS panel concluded he had been more aware of Baha Mousa's injuries than he revealed in his statements to a court martial and public inquiry.
They also considered evidence about his deployment to Iraq, which suggested he had had no pre-deployment training and was unaware he would be dealing with detained civilians, for which, the panel heard, there was no protocol for him to follow.
The MPTS panel responsible for deciding the doctor's fate received three large ringbinders of testimonial letters from patients and professionals such as doctors, nurses and care home managers who spoke of his care of patients in Northallerton.
A public campaign was launched to support him at a meeting attended by former patients earlier this month.
But now the married father-of-two has explained why he has decided not to contest the decision.
In a statement on the Support Local Doctor D. Keilloh Facebook page, he said: "It is with a heavy heart that I am not able to lodge an appeal to the findings and outcome of my hearing.
"This position may cause many of you to be confused and feel let down."
He went on: "I wish to make it clear that the support which has been co-ordinated and displayed visibly has not been futile. I recognise the collective efforts of you writing to the MPTS.
"Unfortunately despite the public opinion – strong as it is – it could not influence or assist the decision of appeal."
He explained the legal reasoning behind his decision not to appeal with a synopsis of the case from his legal representatives. It explained that if they were to appeal to High Court, the court would show "considerable deference" to the MPTS panel's earlier decision on whether he was fit to practice, as it was regarded as a professional panel and included one or more doctors.
He also thanked his supporters for their efforts: "I have been overwhelmed by the volume and sincerity of support.
"For me to hear statements from the public of North Yorkshire, whom I have served as a trusted General Practitioner has given me strength and great consolation."
One of his former patients, Maurice Willis said last night: "He would always go the extra mile for his patients.
"I feel really sorry for him. We just feel he's been a scapegoat.
"It's a sad loss, but he's obviously thought about it and we can only honour his decision I suppose."
Northallerton resident Doug Doherty, a former patient who had helped organise the support campaign in the town, said: "We understand that Dr Keilloh has done what he believes is best for him and his family and though he will be sadly missed by the community he will always be remembered with a great amount of respect and fond memories."

Let me remind those who supported him that a man was murdered and others tortured yet a conspiracy of silence among the troops deployed at the time has prevented convictions for murder and gross abuse of detainees.
I hope others in more senior positions will face trials for the lies that led to war and creating the conditions in which the abuses at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere in Iraq occurred. But individuals, whatever their rank and not least a medical officer, must be held responsible for war crimes or their part in covering them up. War crimes are never excusable, but least of all for those inflicted on prisoners away from the heat of battle and over a long period of time

It was Dr keillohs misfortune to end up as medical officer in an ill led regiment containing (i hope) more than the usual share of sadists and bullies. Dr Keilloh may have been an outstanding GP but his complete failure to behave honestly where a man has been tortured to death , or take any sort of moral lead must inevitably support the view that he is not fit to practice.

Local columnist
Si had always had high hopes for the success of his family farm in Pennsylvania. Si was a hard worker, but hard times seemed to always weigh more on the balance scale than work. Farming in the Keystone State was certainly a challenging and difficult task. The growing season is only about three months long, a little less time than the Pirates take to meander through the baseball season.
Pennsylvania farmers mostly grew mushrooms. It was the state's number one cash crop, and Pennsylvanians produce more than any other state — an annual yield of about 443 million pounds. Si dabbled in mushrooms, but also worked barley, winter wheat and potatoes. The effects of the economy during World War II were taking its toll on the family farm. Si was barely keeping his head above water, and the tide was rising with each year. His hopes — and his love for his wife — kept his spirits going and his work ethic fueled.
Effie Musser had strong hopes for Si as well. She hated to see her husband struggle so. Effie stirred the hope deep within her that afternoon in the kitchen as she continued a family tradition. Her mother had taught her to take the farm's leftover potatoes and turn them into deep-fried fun for the children. Effie finished sprinkling seasoning on the chips and thought that perhaps she could bag some and sell them for extra cash at the nearby farmer's market.
"Nearby" was Lancaster and the "farmer's market" was not a small card table on the side of the road. Central Market in Penn Square in heart of Lancaster is the nation's oldest, continuously operated farmer's market. Founded in 1889, the market became known for its unique Amish goods. Effie's chips were a hit and she sold out every time she delivered the bags to the Square.
An entrepreneur in Baltimore loved them so much he contracted Effie to deliver the chips in bulk to him. He repacked the chips into his branded tin can and renamed them Charles' Chips after Charles Street in downtown Baltimore. While the potato chip business thrived, his other ventures did not. Owing Effie a great deal of money, he sold the brand to her to avoid bankruptcy.
By 194, production had grown from the kitchen in Effie's home to a large warehouse in Lancaster. Si was only growing potatoes and had to hire workers to handle the farm as he assisted Effie in marketing and sales. Effie was producing private label chips for Fritos and A&P Groceries while developing the concept of the home delivery of the chips. Warehouses and truck delivery units were set up in several states. Effie's hopes were fulfilled beyond her wildest imagination.
To a 10-year-old boy on the west side of Indianapolis in the mid-60s, every other Thursday brought bright rays of hope and a big can of barbeque potato chips to the door. During the summer, baseball games and bicycle rides had to be over by two o'clock in time to greet the delivery truck that looked just like the can of chips. During the school year, there was the assurance of hope that the large can of chips would be on the counter when the 30-minute bus ride was over.
Hope fuels our lives - whether to keep us going at work when things get difficult, to be the glue to hold the marriage together, or for a small boy longing for his favorite snack. Hope buoys our spirits to dream dreams and chase them, to envision greater things than are currently available, and to find meaning and purpose for life. Hope becomes the anchor when we hear bad news from the doctor, when we are shaken by a terrorist's bombs, or when we stare death in the face.
And hope delivers.

Soy 125 is a soft, easy to melt wax with low shrinkage.
Tags: video, soy wax
Categories: Candle Making (General)
We get lots of questions from people about the art and business of candle making.
When I pour my soy wax I get a crusting on top of my candle or it looks like my color bleeds why is this happening?
Soy has many positive attributes but one thing that it is not quite as effective at is holding fragrance. In most instances when this occurs you have put more fragrance in the wax then it can hold. The bleeding is actually the fragrance oil bleeding which pulls the color with it.
There are several things you can do to try and correct this:
A related question is can I add paraffin wax to my soy?
The answer on this is definetely yes at any chosen percentage and will depend on how you want to market the candle. Many companies are using something like a 51% Soy and 49%, but any percentage will work.

Enjoy this beginner's guide to difference between paraffin and soy wax properties.
Tags: paraffin wax, soy wax, candle making, video
Soy Wax
The first wax we will feature is soy. Soy wax is simply hydrogenated soybean oil and the best application for this wax is in containers. When using soy wax it is important to note that there is definitely performance and appearance differences between paraffin wax and wax and soy wax.
By now you have to be asking yourself if it is that good then why not just switch to this wax while I read this article? The main reason is that the scent throw that candle makers achieve with paraffin just cannot be at the same level when using soy wax. As these waxes get better at scent throw or fragrance companies improve the scent throw that can be achieved, the soy market will continue to grow.
Palm Wax
The other natural wax to consider would be the Palm wax. This wax is produced by hydrogenated Palm Oils. These waxes are great because of the unique textures which can be produced with these waxes. In most instances there is a crystallizing pattern which is available for both containers and freestanding candles. In addition there is a feathering pattern which is available for free standing candles.
One of the best natural waxes we offer is the CSP wax. This is an all natural blend of soy and palm wax which creates a very nice creamy finish. This wax is excellent for pillars, votives and tarts.

Chevrolet Equinox Prices Paid and Buying Experience
joeohio Posts: 1I am in the process of buying a 2011 Equinox. The best deal I have found is $500 over the dealer invoice after reduction of the holdback. For an 1LT this is a little more than $2000. So I can buy for about $1500 below MSRP, including doc fees. Not as good of a discount as we used to get (old days = 12%), but not bad. Also will get other factory incentives and my $4000 plus $500 bonus on the GM card. For everyone's benefit the dealer invoice less the holdback is as follows. All with $745 Destination fee:
AWD LS MSRP = $25,240 Invoice less holdback = $23,280
AWD 1LT MSRP = $26,405 Invoice less holdback = $24,352
AWD 2LT MSRP = $28,465 Invoice less holdback = $26,247
AWD LTZ MSRP = $30,815 Invoice less holdback = $28,410
I don't have data for the FWD version, but the percentages will be about the same (8% with no discount on the destination fee).
The markup on options is 12%.
Plenty of vehicles available in Ohio region.
Hope this helps.
incarguy Posts: 1We just purchased a 2011 Nox FWD 2LT, Mocha, with Two tone brown/black Leather, Roof, 18's and Power Liftgate. We paid $28,336, which was just under TMV ($28,357).
I would rate our overall experience a 6 out of 10, however, not due to our dealer or salesman, whom we both liked and would recommend again, but due to the industry practice known as "not giving a sh*t about what the customer wants, aka - usual practice."
We had wanted on one the Espresso Brown LTZ's, but of the dozen or so that were sitting on other dealers lots within our region, our dealer, looking to trade, was told all of them were "already sold" or "demo's." Our salesman admitted to me afterward that had I called as an off the street customer, I no doubt could have driven home in probably any one of those vehicles that day. The reason I didn't is because I wanted to remain loyal to the dealer, whom I felt was treating me fairly.
Perhaps it's not a "Chevy" issue, or maybe it's "the way it's always been done," but that's not an excuse. In the end, we the consumers didn't get what we really wanted because we remained loyal to our local dealer, and we didn't want to wait 6 or 8 weeks while the exact vehicle we wanted got built. Not sure why we should have to, especially if there's 12 copies lying around unsold at other dealers in the region.
We settled on the 2LT because my wife was getting tired of the process of seeing cars advertised for sale on dealer websites and cars.com, then having our dealer try to trade, and being told "sorry" it's not really for sale. Sloppy internet inventory management at best, downright lies at worst.
Chevy obviously has no control over the dealer to compel them to "play nice in the sandbox," with other dealers, and that's frustrating. Look, it's one thing if a dealer is sitting one a new ZR1, but come on, an Equinox? Can't they put a clause in the dealer contract that says, any vehicle with an MSRP under $50k you have to trade?
Oh, well, I think in the end we'll be happy, just as long as we can wring 26 or 28 MPG's out of it!
I hope this helps sombody out. I just purchased a Silver 2011 Chevy Nox, 4 cyl, LT2, Upgrades included: Chrome package, 18 inch aluminum wheels, power lift gate, and leather seats. OTD $28,230. This was hard to find with every dealer in my market having to get me a vehicle from out of state. I also got a 1 year maintenance plan which is really just 4 oil changes. Most dealers will sell the Nox at invoice or $100 dollars over invoice, due to the popularity of the vehicle and the short supply. Good Luck.
apat2 Posts: 1Hi,
I am deciding on buying a 2011 Checy Equinox.LTZ 4 cyl 2 WD with no added features over the base LTZ. The vehicle has 2500 Miles on it. Best drive out price including tax license and registration offered was 28500$. Do you think this is a fair price to go ahead with the purchase?
jonox Posts: 84There are over 2000 problem reports on this site from 2010/2011 Equinox owners. Most refer to serious issues with the 4 cylinder engine. Do yourself a favour, look through the reports and get an idea of what you could be into. The 6 cylinder engine seems to be a better bet.

Death with dignity bill to get public hearingBy PETER HIRSCHFELD
Vermont Press Bureau | January 28,2013MONTPELIER – A bill that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal doses of drugs to terminally ill patients takes its first step on a preordained path through the Senate when lawmakers host a public hearing in the chamber of the House Tuesday evening.
While no one can guarantee whether the controversial legislation will win majority support in the Senate, advocates have been promised a vote on the body's floor. And Senate leaders have charted in advance its course though the legislative process.
To proponents, the legislation will enable suffering patients to choose "death with dignity." To its detractors, the bill establishes a dangerous precedent they say could diminish the value of human life.
"Most people feel very strongly about it one way or the other," Sen. Claire Ayer, chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Health and Welfare said Monday.
Ayer's committee plays host to what promises to be an emotional night of testimony in Montpelier, where citizens will make cases for or against the bill. The event, which begins at 5 p.m. and will be broadcast live on Vermont Public Television, will be followed by committee hearings on Wednesday and Thursday and a committee vote sometime Friday.
Ayer's committee has the votes to pass the bill, which will then head to the Senate floor sometime next week. That's where things could get interesting.
Ayer has agreed to postpone a vote on the floor, and instead refer the bill to the Senate Judiciary Committee, where one of the legislation's chief opponents, Sen. Dick Sears, will put the legislation through its paces. Sears, a Bennington County Democrat, said Monday that he has "dozens" of problems with the bill, ranging from the practical – like criminal liability for doctors – to the philosophical.
Adding to the intrigue is that fact that the bill has almost no chance of winning a favorable vote from Sears' committee.
"I suspect it will be voted down in judiciary 2-3," Sears said.

The Effingham Hearts were determined not to let Teutopolis center Kyle Pruemer beat them on Tuesday night in T-Town.
Clark Williamson, Tim Gardewine and Jake and Josh Stombaugh all took turns guarding the big man and holding him to just two points in the game.
But, Derek Smith and the Wooden Shoes' guards took over the game, leading T-Town to a 43-36 victory.
Smith lead all scorers with 16 points, scoring eight of the Shoes' nine first quarter points.
"I was just looking for my shot and trying to be aggressive," Smith said of his first quarter dominance. "They were all down low guarding Kyle, so it left us guards open."
"He got us going," Teutopolis coach Andy Fehrenbacher said. "He made some big plays early."
Devin Falbe, another Shoes guard, only scored one point in the first half and missed a couple open layups, but had eight second half points and hit all four of his free throws in the fourth quarter to help ice the game.
Fehrenbacher said he was proud of the way Falbe responded at halftime after a disappointing first half.
"He was pretty vocal, but very upbeat," Fehrenbacher said. "You could tell he was ready to get back on the floor. He can make some pretty flashy plays; those energy plays are what our guys expect from him."
Reed Hardiek, another guard, provided a late spark off the bench for Teutopolis. He had five points in the game, and they all came in the fourth quarter as the Shoes fought to hold off the Hearts' late surge.
Fehrenbacher said that even though the Hearts did a great job stopping Pruemer from scoring, he still did plenty of good things for the Shoes.
"Even though he only had one bucket, he had 11 or 12 rebounds," Fehrenbacher said. "You've got to hand it to him, being able to stay on the court that long and stay out of foul trouble."
Both coaches agreed that the game wasn't pretty, but neither was surprised at how hard their players played.
"It was a great team effort; everybody who played for us played extremely hard and did some good things," Fehrenbacher said. "We knew it was going to be a struggle. Any time Teutopolis and Effingham meet up, it's going to be a dog fight."
"I thought both teams made it difficult on each other," Effingham coach Ron Reed said. "We both got after each other and really fought hard."
Ultimately, the game came down to Teutopolis making free throws in the fourth quarter to fend off the Hearts.
"We were able to get some stops and make some free throws down the stretch," Fehrenbacher said.
Reed added that the Shoes simply made more open shots than the Hearts did.
"They were able to make some open looks when they got them and we didn't," he said. "My group really hung in there. They kind of let us hang around, but they were able to keep us from getting within one point or tying it up."
But, Reed said he was proud of the way his team fought and hopes the Hearts don't get down on themselves after the tough loss.
"Coming over here is a challenge; it's a tough place to play," he said. "Our kids shouldn't hang their heads about it. I think they played well enough to maybe come out of here with a win. Hopefully it will make us better down the road."
Effingham fell to 5-2 with the loss. The Hearts will be back in action on Friday at home against Mt. Zion.
Teutopolis improved to 6-1. The Shoes have a tough road test on Saturday, when they travel to Robinson to take on the state-ranked Maroons.
Smith said the Shoes just need to continue improving defensively as they get ready for one of their biggest challenges of the season.
"It always starts on defense," he said. "We need to keep working as a team and prepare for Robinson."
Effingham 8 7 7 14 36
Teutopolis 9 7 11 16 43
Effingham: Keith 9 pts., Stombaugh, Ja. 7, Williamson 6, Lark 5, Knight 4, Stombaugh, Jo. 3, Carie 2
Teutopolis: Smith 16 pts., Falbe 9, Schultz 6, Hardiek 5, Waldhoff 3, Pruemer 2, Mette 2
Teutopolis's Derek Smith attempts a shot but is blocked by Effingham's Clark Williamson Tuesday during the Wooden Shoes' 45-36 victory at Teutopolis. Smith led the scoring with 16 points.

Re: snipingKTPhoenix Aug 16, 2011 9:31 AM (in response to starkiller2k10)Obviously sniping which is the CORRECT term, not hardscoping, is the best way since that is the most successful way to get kills.
You can put a d-bag QS against an actual sniper and the sniper will come out with more kills than the QS every time.
And there is only 1 way to snipe and that is by looking through the scope. Anything other than that is a trickshot since you are not using the rifle the way it was intended.
Re: snipingalbertwesker363 Aug 17, 2011 3:08 PM (in response to starkiller2k10)no scope = luck
quick sniping = cheap kills and tactic
hard scope = non cheap kills but good tactic
trick shots = waste of time
Re: snipingSethdoom Jun 14, 2012 8:00 AM (in response to albertwesker363)
QS is not cheap. Btw I am a 22 yr old college student. It takes practice and more skill than claymore whoring sniping does. No scopes are mostly luck tho.
Re: snipingCODisavideogame Aug 17, 2011 7:05 PM (in response to starkiller2k10)What jassie said.
No scope you shouldn't have to. Any actual sniper would pull out his pistol. Quickscoping-tells me you are under the age of 12. Sniping-any sniper. Trickshotting: indeed-kill yourself.
Re: snipingSethdoom Jun 14, 2012 8:01 AM (in response to CODisavideogame)
Im 22 and i QS. I dont agree with no scoping tho. wtf is ur problem? U cant do it so u gotta make fun of it. Go see how old the Optic clan or the Faze clan mambers are. Fuckin idiot.

Abington Fire Marshal Ken Clark said today that Weldon Fire Fighter David Kelble Jr. died yesterday following an injury he suffered Nov. 21 in Lower Southampton.
Kelble, of Glenside, was 32. He leaves behind his wife Jacqueline and two children, a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son.
According to Clark, Kelble was working at his regular job, with a tree company, when he suffered a traumatic head injury. He was transported to St. Mary Medical Center in Bucks County and died Sunday.
"Evidently he was dispatched to Lower Southampton where there was a tree leaning against another tree. There was a crew rigging it up and a large branch broke and hit him directly in the head. He never regained consciousness," Clark said.
Kelble was an organ donor and the family said that several people in
Pennsylvania, and one person from out of state, have already received a donated organ.
Clark said the atmosphere is somber at the fire company.
"He was a nice young man," Clark said.
Kelble had been a volunteer fire fighter with Weldon Fire Co. since January 2005, Clark said; prior to that, Kelble was with Fort Washington Fire Co.
Funeral arrangements are with W.R. May Funeral Home in Glenside. See Kelble's obituary here.
A beef and beer to benefit the Kelble family is scheduled for Jan. 26 from 7 to 11 p.m. at the North Penn VFW on Jenkintown Road.

ASHTABULA — Kathryn Gladis Welton, age 95, of Thayer Ave., passed away Wednesday, July 31, 2013, at her home.
She was born Jan. 10, 1918, in Madison, the daughter of Timothy J. and Mary (Hayward) Ryan, and had been an area resident most of her life. A 1937 graduate of Madison High School, she lived on Adams Ave. for 40 years before moving to Thayer Ave. in the Ashtabula Harbor in 1992.
On Sept. 30, 1938, she married the love of her life, Gordon Welton, at St. Joseph Church where they remained faithful members. They participated in the Mr. and Mrs. Club and served as parent volunteers at the school.
Kathryn enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles, watching CNN, and listening to Irish music. Most of all, she was a mother who deeply loved her children and family.
Her survivors include children, Judy (Al) Conti of Niles, Daniel (Nanci) Welton of Tucson, Ariz. and Mary (Bill) Elliott and David (Barbara) Welton, both of Ashtabula; and grandchildren, Tim Elliott and Ryan and Kati Welton.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Gordon in 2000; three brothers, John, Tim and George Ryan; three sisters, Marcina Wrisley, Helen McMackin and Mary Francys Bender; and her parents. She was also preceded in death by her son, Thomas, in 1975 who passed away after 18 years of battling kidney disease, including the rejection of the kidney his mother had donated. Kathryn was appreciative of the love and support of her family, friends, and the Ashtabula community during her son's illness.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 11 a.m., Monday, August 5th, at Our Lady of Peace Parish, St. Joseph Church, 3312 Lake Ave., Ashtabula, with Fr. Raymond Thomas, Pastor presiding. Burial will be in St. Joseph Cemetery.
Calling hours will be from 5 to 7 p.m., Sunday, August 4th, at ZABACK-WILLIAMS-DUCRO FUNERAL HOME, 500 W. Prospect Road, Ashtabula.
As an alternative to flowers, the family suggest contributions to Hospice of the Western Reserve, 1166 Lake Ave., Ashtabula, Ohio 44004.

By Mike Kays
Phoenix Sports Editor
She was trying to get a five-second call. The referee called a hand-check.
With that, and 3 minutes and change on the clock in the Class 6A East Area consolation final, Kelsey McClure's high school career ended in a much different way than she had designed it, denied a second consecutive state tournament trip in a year that they were, for a while, one of the favorites to play through Saturday and a championship matchup.
Suffocated in a box-and-one, the Muskogee High senior left with her only single-digit game of the year.
Area coaches and media will remember her for her body of work and not her final minutes. The 5-foot-7 guard was voted as the Most Valuable Player on the 2012-13 All-Phoenix team after a season where she posted averages of 21.5 points, 2.5 steals, 2.5 assists and 4.8 rebounds.
"The (championship) ring was something I wanted. That didn't end well and to go out like I did really killed me," she said. "I wanted to finish with something more but knowing people are saying about you, ' you did your part, you did your job, you didn't slack.' Before I left, that was what I wanted to show."
Her head coach, Doyle Rowland, is one of those.
"She has the kind of will that drives her and will make her superior in most athletic endeavors," he said.
McClure said her relationship with assistant coach Shonika Breedlove, a former Roughers standout herself, helped push her.
"One of the things a lot of freshmen should realize coming in to that program is something I got from her," she said. "I was pretty good coming out of (Alice Robertson Junior High) but I didn't know it all and had to learn like everyone else. And even though I was starting, it wasn't learning in baby steps. She said you were going to learn now.
"She wouldn't let up on me. If I made a mistake, it wasn't like 'oh, we'll get it right next time.' She was in my face saying 'we're going to fix it now.' I will never forget when there's a coach in my ear it's going to make me think about her."
Which coach that is remains unclear. Kansas is a school that has made a late push.
"I'm complex when it comes to that. Right now, at this point, I'll just say I've got what I want out there," she said.
McClure edged out Fort Gibson's Brooke Palmer, who capped her career averaging a double-double in points and rebounds at the Class 4A state tournament. Palmer, who averaged 18 points and 7 rebounds on the year, was joined by teammates Allie Glover and Savannah Gray on the team. McClure's teammate, Oral Roberts signee Alexus Wilson, joins them.
Eufaula's Alyssa Banks was third in the voting, just ahead of Glover.
Rounding out the team are Midway guard Hailey Truesdell, Oktaha guard Jaylie Roper, Haskell forward Sherrell McHenry, Hulbert guard Allison Arnall and Sequoyah guard Courtney Jones, who helped her team to a 3A quarterfinal appearance at state.
This year's Newcomer of the Year is Hilldale freshman guard Katie Kirkhart, whose averages of 13 points, 2 steals, 3 assists and 2 rebounds helped the Lady Hornets to a 17-9 season, their best since 1997.
Fort Gibson's Jerry Walker won Coach of the Year for the third consecutive season. Two of those ended in state championships, the latter to cap a 29-1 campaign which may have gotten him the edge in the voting over second-place Chad Walker (no relation) of Tahlequah, who overcame the in-season loss of three starters and got Tahlequah to the Class 5A state tournament for the first time since 2001.
"Any time you lose that many kids especially with who everyone thinks is your best player (Desiree Phipps), that says a lot," the FGHS coach said.
Neither Phipps, who was lost with a knee injury in December, nor any teammates were among the top 11 vote-getters by members of the Phoenix and Tahlequah Daily Press staff and area coaches. That is the number, with a newcomer added, that is annually allowed for inclusion to the team.
As he has each time he's won the award, Walker adamantly shared credit with his assistants, Chuck London and Denise Gray. So which job did the staff do a better job with, the 2011 state champion or the 2013 champ?
"Wow," he said. "One, you take a group of kids who were undefeated who knock off the defending champ who had everybody back and won by 40 in the finals the year before," he said. "This year you run through the state tournament by average margin of 15 with a group that no one is knocking down their doors to recruit.
"There's probably not a nickel's difference, but I'd always take a year where with 2 minutes to play you're up 14 because I liked not having to make a last-minute adjustment."

The man who found Drew Peterson's third wife drowned in her dry bathtub was arrested by the Naperville police in connection with battering his brother.
Steve Carcerano, 44, of Bolingbrook was taken into custody March 27 in connection with an incident three weeks earlier near the intersection of Freedom Drive and Warrenville Road.
Carcerano and his brother were together in a vehicle at the time of the reported battery, said Naperville police Sgt. Gregg Bell.
"He put his brother out of the car," Bell said.
Witnesses called police to report the matter and Naperville officers secured a warrant for Carcerano's arrest.
Carcerano is due back in DuPage County court on May 2.
Bell said Carcerano's brother did not suffer any serious injuries in the alleged attack.
Carcerano could not be reached for comment.
The Naperville arrest was his second in that town in less than four years. He was arrested on a drunken driving charge in 2008 and eventually pleaded guilty, according to court records.
Carcerano's ties to Peterson
Carcerano was a neighbor of Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio. In March 2004, Peterson told Carcerano to go into Savio's home after he had failed to contact her in several days. Peterson waited outside while Carcerano went in and upstairs.
Carcerano found Savio's body laying dead in her bathtub. After he made the grisly discovery, Carcerano said Peterson rushed up the stairs after him and called out, "Oh, my God!"
Three and a half years later, following the mysterious disappearance of Peterson's next wife, Stacy Peterson, Carcerano and Drew Peterson made the Bolingbrook social scene, regularly showing up in some of the town's hottest night spots, such as Tailgater's.
In my 2008 nonfiction sensation Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Sergeant Drew Peterson, Carcerano explained "it was important for him to accompany Peterson to a bar or restaurant so that he could be 'the eyes' in case 'somebody tries to stick a knife in Drew's neck.'"
Carcerano was also instrumental in brokering a sit-down between Drew Peterson and a Las Vegas "talent" representative so the two could discuss plans for a reality show, according to two sources.
Peterson and the representative met in Las Vegas just months before Peterson was arrested and charged with murdering Savio. while he awaits the start of his murder trial.
Carcerano was also the go-between when Drew Peterson made the acquaintance of 22-year-old tanning salon worker Kim Matuska. Matuska later spent the night at the home of Drew Peterson, a disgraced Bolingbrook cop 32-years her senior.
Carcerano knew Matuska from frequenting her tanning salon and introduced her to Peterson, whose wife had been missing for seven months at that point.

RUGBY UNION: London Welsh sign L'Estrange and Dobson
Updated 4:01pm Friday 14th February 2014 in Rugby By Ed Mezzetti, Sports reporter specialising in Rugby, Cricket and Athletics. Call me on 01865 425456
London Welsh head coach Justin Burnell was delighted at signing American fly half Toby L'Estrange and South African hooker Matthew Dobson.
L'Estrange, 25, who has 11 caps for the USA, joins from New York Athletic Club, while Dobson, 27, moves from Griqualand West club GWK Griquas.
"Toby comes very highly recommended," said Burnell, whose side visit Cornish Pirates in the Greene King IPA Championship on Sunday (3.45). The Penzance pitch will be inspected tomorrow morning.
"Toby fits into what London Welsh is about – he's very hard working and very skilful.
"We're also very conscious of Gordon Ross coming a little bit towards the end of his career and in Will Robinson and Toby L'Estrange we've got two brilliant prospects.
"The Championship is all about physicality and Matthew Dobson brings that South African mind-set when it comes to the set-piece."

Published by The
State, May 26, 2005.
Shoot the messenger, if you must. But heed the message. The
uproar in press, policy and political circles goes deeper than
Newsweek's use of an anonymous source to report on possible abuse
and insensitivity by U.S. troops guarding Muslim prisoners in
There are three levels of concern: What the media have done;
what the U.S. government may have done, and what was done to
provoke a deadly anti-American riot in Afghanistan. If there
is a trail of culpability for the latter tragedy, we must be
careful where we point fingers of blame.
Each year in May, I take a class of USC students to Washington
as part of a course examining the intersection of media and government.
Our timing could hardly have been more instructive.
We sat in the House Gallery last week during the congressional
ritual known as "one minutes." Members of the House
have 60 seconds to speak on any subject they choose. Several
chose to excoriate Newsweek's report based on a single anonymous
source, albeit a trusted one, saying military interrogators flushed
the Quran down a toilet as a psychological means of breaking
prisoners' will.
The treatment of prisoners sweating out their interrogation
and the treatment of judicial nominees sweating out their Senate
confirmation proceedings were the hot topics of our Washington
week. My students — majoring in journalism, public relations
and political science — witnessed the debate at close quarters.
What might they have concluded? That debate is alive and well
in a democratic society. That it is sometimes acrimonious, frequently
harsh and vilifying, often accusatory, seemingly always intensely
partisan and, occasionally, enlightening.
We'd spent much of the previous week examining facets of the
media-government intersection. For example, the "24/7" news
cycle developed over the past two decades (I was part of it as
a 20-year CNN correspondent) has put us in an era of news, information
and opinion delivered at warp speed.
In their book appropriately titled Warp Speed, media watchdogs
Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel also warn of the "journalism
of assertion." If you say something loud and often enough
and have a media platform, you can force your issue onto the
public agenda. Think "weapons of mass destruction." Kovach
and Rosenstiel also warn of the increasing use of anonymous sources
as diminishing the credibility of information and increasing
the possibilities of abuse.
So where are we now? Deluged with more information than ever
before in a multimedia universe of television, cable, newspapers
and the Internet. Yet more Americans are turned off on the media
and the news than are tuned in.
Who's to blame? Watch where you point those fingers. My experience
in more than 30 years as a journalist is that media do not so
much set the agenda as respond to events and directions set by
others. Yes, journalists choose which stories to report. But
to quote Kovach and Rosenstiel, "while the press may not
tell people what to think, it gives them a list of things to
think about."
Kovach and Rosenstiel, both newspaper veterans, wrote Warp Speed
in the wake of the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky scandal. Its
message remains timely.
In 1998, Newsweek and reporter Michael Isikoff held off reporting
the Lewinsky affair and its sordid soiled blue dress because
the magazine was not confident it had fully confirmed the story.
Internet gossip Matt Drudge scooped Newsweek without any additional
sourcing. Now Newsweek and Isikoff have retracted a story let
loose on the strength of a single anonymous source. Isikoff says
he's still pursuing the Quran story, and some in Washington (my
source is anonymous) say Newsweek caved too soon.
Though we've had a media culpa, let's not lay all blame on the
journalists. From what we already know — Abu Ghraib comes
to mind — the Quran story is plausible. Last year's "60
Minutes" report on CBS about President Bush's service record
in the Air National Guard was also plausible, from what we knew
about the Vietnam era. But CBS did not connect all the dots before
it went on the air.
That's what journalists are expected to do. But you might also
ask, what did the guards and interrogators at Guantanamo do?
Have we heard an absolute Pentagon denial? Who told Isikoff about
this alleged behavior? What was the motive? Should a reporter
have ignored it?
You might also ask, tragic though it was, did Newsweek pull
the trigger to cause those deaths? Was it the act of publishing
or the act of desecration (presumed or otherwise) that led to
the fatal outrage? There's a journalistic opportunity here to
better educate our citizenry to the sensibilities of less-understood
Yes, the messenger may have faltered and the message may have
been flawed. Journalists must step up their vigilance. But there
is something in this message to be learned about what our society
may have perpetrated and how another society may have interpreted
such an act. The flaw is not journalism's alone.

Remembering Reagan
Covering a president and the White House may or may
not be the pinnacle of a journalistic career. There is much that
is tedious and mundane, much the like the army's propensity
for "hurry up and wait" orders. There are journalistic
lessons to be learned most steps of the way. This is not about how
to cover the White House, but about how I remember the years I spent
keeping a watchful eye on the president who both before and after
he took office had an enormous impact on the country and the world.

Ultram is one of the weakest pain relievers that actually requires a prescription. It is a joke. Over the counter Ibuprofen works MUCH better. Don't waste your money. If you have real pain and this is all your doctor gives you then you should find a new doctor that will take your pain seriously.

Congressional hopefuls Laureen Cummings and Matt Cartwright took questions from reporters, students and each other during their first Lehigh Valley debate Wednesday night.
Meeting at PBS 39's studio in South Bethlehem, the two candidates running in a newly created congressional district spoke for about an hour on the economy, energy, Pennsylvania's voter ID law and "divisiveness," a term both candidates threw at each other's party.
Democrat Carwright -- an attorney from Moosic -- and Cummings -- a Republican nurse from Old Forge who owns a small nursing company -- are battling to represent Pennsylvania's new 17th Congressional district.
They were asked how, as first-time candidates in a new district, they'd get things done in Washington.
"To be an effective congressperson is a tall order," Cartwright said, and noted that he had gone to the Democratic National Convention this year to begin building relationships, meeting with 25 to 30 members of Congress.
Cummings, 48, meanwhile, said she had been working in politics for the past few years. She was the founder of Scranton's Tea Party.
"I have helped get a lot of the current seated Congress elected because I believed in their cause," Cummings said.
Both candidates said they had traveled the district, meeting with people in all of its counties. They differed on nearly every other matter.
On energy policy, for example, Cartwright, 51, says he supports continuing the Obama administration's "all of the above approach," and spoke fondly of the idea of things like wind energy.
Cummings, however, said the administration was supporting offshore drilling in other countries while stopping it at home. She said "all of the above" needs to include oil, coal and natural gas.
A student from Muhlenberg College -- which co-sponsored the debate with the station and the Morning Call -- asked the candidates where they stood on the voter ID law.
Cartwright called the law -- which has been put on old until after the election -- "an outrage," designed to disenfranchise voters.
"It was a bad law, and it should be put to rest," he said.
But Cummings said she would have voted for it, saying it would protect against voter fraud. She cited the 2008 case in which members of the New Black Panther Party were accused of intimidating voters in Philadelphia.
"I want to have legal votes happening. I have been watching how things are happening in our polling stations that people need to know about," Cummings said.
The candidates also got a chance to ask each other five questions.
Cummings asked Cartwright if he would have voted for the "cap and trade" bill, which was designed -- among other things -- to create clean energy jobs and reduce global warming. Cartwright said he would have.
"Global warming is not a hoax. It's not something that should be taken lightly," he said. "Trashing the environment is not the way to grow your economy."
He asked Cummings if she would support expanding natural gas drilling -- AKA "fracking" -- into the Delaware River Basin. Cummings said she would need to research the matter more, but added she thinks it's a decision best left to local governments.
"I don't believe the federal government should be talking about this issue," she said.
Cummings and Cartwright are scheduled to debate again Nov. 1 in Schuylkill County.
Schuylkill is one of six counties -- Northampton, Monroe, Carbon, Luzerne and Lackawanna are the others -- that make up the 17th district, which was created last year by redistricting.
In Northampton, it includes the Easton area and a portion of the Slate Belt, as well as parts of Bethlehem and Bethlehem Township, Nazareth, Stockertown, Tatamy and Freemansburg.
The debate will repeat on PBS 39 on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.
