. Kuz has been at for 34 years, and this was his 19th season as head coach.
From Ohio to Illinois
Randy Kuceyeski and identical twin brother Ron Kuceyeski grew up in Alliance, Ohio. Kuz was a three-year starter for his high school football team, playing tight end and linebacker. He and his brother earned scholarships and played at Northwestern University.
Kuz played nose tackle on Northwestern's defense from 1972 to 1976. The next year, Kuz graduated from Northwestern with his master's in education. After finishing his degree, he found his eventual home, getting hired to teach and coach at in 1978.
Coach Kuz was placed on the defensive coaching staff, working primarily with the defensive line for Libertyville under head coach Dale Christensen.
"He got a lot out of his athletes. He had that unique personality of having fun, but still able to get things done," said Bryan Wilcox, a driver's education teacher at Libertyville who also played on Kuz's defensive line from 1985 to '86 and later went on to play for UCLA as a defensive tackle. "He knows how to balance it out to be successful, and he really knew how to connect with every kid, even though every kid was different.
"He was pivotal in me going (to UCLA). He pushed the recruiting process and communicated to me the importance. He even called home once to talk to my parents to help get me more focused," Wilcox reminisced. "Not to mention, he got me the exposure I needed, and he had me well-prepared to play defensive line at the next level."
Beginning of Coaching Years
When Kuz started as an assistant, head coach Dale Christensen was in the midst of turning around a middle-of-the-pack Wildcats program. Christensen went on to complete the longest stint of any head coach at Libertyville, starting in 1971 and going until 1993. In the 16 years of Kuz being an assistant, the Wildcats captured three conference championships and made the playoffs five times (dating from 1985 to 1993).
In 1993, Christensen's 21st season of coaching, the Wildcats were 12-0 and made it to the semifinal of the class 6A state playoffs. The morning before the semifinal match, Christensen went over the top trying to motivate his team. He staged a fake gun shooting and his own death in order to motivate his team. The incident went too far, the team ran for cover, the police were contacted, and national media caught wind of the act.
The Wildcats went on to lose the semifinal game to the eventual state champion, Loyola Academy. Two weeks later, Christensen resigned from the head coaching job at Libertyville.
In the offseason, Libertyville received more than 50 applications for the job; however, the unanimous vote among the selection committee was in favor of the longtime assistant and defensive coach: Kuceyeski.
Kuz had big shoes to fill, stepping in for the longest-tenured coach in Libertyville history.
In Kuz's first year as head coach, the team started off a shocking 3-0 and finished with a 7-2 record before getting bounced out of the playoffs in Kuz's first career playoff game. The defense for Kuz's Wildcats stepped up in two games, setting school records. Against Fenton, the Wildcats didn't allow a single rushing yard. In fact, Fenton finished with negative 10 rushing yards on the whole game. Later in the season, the Wildcats held the Antioch Sequoits to only two first downs in the entire game.
The next year, 1995, Kuz welcomed in a sophomore receiver named Brian Hamlett to complement three-year varsity quarterback Chris Fulbright. The defense returned eventual all-state players Brian Laughlin and Tim Beshel. In '95, the Wildcats went 5-4 in the regular season to capture another playoff berth.
In a special win against Mundelein, the Wildcats rushed for a combined 445 yards, a school record, and averaged 11.7 yards per carry throughout the game, also setting a school record. However, with their second playoff berth under Kuz, the Cats again were eliminated after a first-round defeat. The next year, 1996, the Cats finished with a 6-3 record in the regular season but failed to make the playoffs for the first time under coach Kuz.
Start of a Dynasty
In 1997, Kuz and the Wildcats started to gain their identity.
"Everyone knows Kuz and the coaches are fun-loving people. I still remember my senior year lip sync, when all the football coaches did Men in Black and lifted Mr. Schaeffer and carried him around," said math teacher and former player ('96-'97) Brady Sullivan. "Kuz started to spend time working with the student section, giving them ideas and an identity of their own. You really started to see an identity of Kuz in all the students, whether they were football players or just kids in the student section."
In Sullivan's senior season, he was joined by Hamlett and all-state offensive linemen Jason Jowers. Several juniors also played a big role, including quarterback J.C. Harrington, wide receiver and safety Kevin Walter.
The 1997 season was the first time the Wildcats won a conference championship under Kuz. The Wildcats finished 7-2 in the regular season and won their first playoff game with Kuz as the coach.
"He would show us videos of great comebacks and great college teams that would never give up. He really stressed the importance of not counting yourself out and putting forth a tenacious effort in everything you do, and they turned out to be applicable life lessons for me," Sullivan said.
Moving into the 1998 season, the Wildcats had high hopes. Meanwhile, back in Alliance, Ohio, Kuz was inducted into the Alliance High School Athletic Hall of Fame. Then in the football season, the Wildcats were led by the dynamic duo of Harrington and Walter, and finished the regular season 9-0. The Wildcat offense shattered school records, such as pass completions on the year, with 110. Walter broke the record for receptions in a game, with 10 against New Trier, before going on to have 48 total on the year and 794 total receiving yards, now both the second highest in Wildcat history.
But, the offense wasn't the only thing rolling that year. Dan Romito and Adam Dasilva tag teamed on the defense to both break the record for sacks in a year with 9.5. After a thrilling 9-0 season, the Wildcats were knocked out of the playoffs in the sweet 16, but won Kuz his second conference championship. Harrington and Walter went on to receive all-state honors for their successful seasons.
"He was the best coach I've ever had. I still remember my senior year like it was yesterday," said NFL wide receiver Kevin Walter, class of 1999. "He taught me that work ethic means everything and that nothing in football is ever just given to you. His football lessons related to real life. His lessons taught me that you have to work to get what you want. It also relates to life and is one of the main reasons I have gotten to where I am now."
By 1999, Wildcat football was established. In Kuz's first five years as head coach, he had a higher win percentage than any coach in Libertyville's history. He also started to attract national attention, getting selected as an assistant coach for the 1999 East-West Shrine game after an impressive 10-1 season in 1998.
"The school was starting to transform. Kuz was evolving the school from a basketball school to a football school," said Don Johnson, security guard at Libertyville and former LHS assistant football coach. "He would always get involved around the school, and always thought of something new and creative to do at the kickoff dance. One year we even came into the field house on motorcycles."
After a successful '98 season, the buzz around school swarmed toward football.
"It used to be that if you didn't show up early for the basketball games, you couldn't get in. The gym was packed. But after Kuz took over, you couldn't even get into a football game if you showed up late," exclaimed Johnson. "In the '99 playoff game against Carmel, the entire stadium was packed to the edges. And that was when we were still playing on a grass field," joked Johnson.
Prior to the 1999 playoff game against Carmel, the Cats finished with a 6-3 regular season record. It was the first time in two years that the Cats didn't capture the conference championship and the first time in two years that they wouldn't move past the first round. They suffered a devastating home defeat in front of the largest crowd ever at Libertyville.
By the turn of the century, Kuz knew what he wanted. In Ohio, high school football is much bigger than it is in Illinois. Kuz had a vision to transform his adopted hometown into what he grew up in: a football community.
Part of the transformation of the school was to make the weight room into a place the football players could call home in the offseason. He customized it and changed it into what it is today, putting up inspirational quotes and adding new weights and machines every year. He also added the profile testing records so players could shoot to try and make the record list.
Kuz also brought lights to the stadium. In Alliance, Ohio, towns shut down on Friday nights, as the community heads over to the high school to catch the game. So Kuz brought the lights, changed the playing field from an all-natural grass field to a turf-style grass field, and blended the community with the team.
"You could just see it beam off of him. He had a home-spun kindness about him. He loved the game and most importantly he loved his family. When you looked at him you just knew that about him," Johnson said. "He promoted a family of athletes, and promoted bonding as part of the experience. When you played for Kuz, you bonded with him and with the rest of your team; that's just how it went."
From 2000 to 2006, Libertyville became the team to beat in Lake County. They became the dynasty and football powerhouse that Kuz wanted and expected from his players. In 2000, the Wildcats made it to the sweet 16 and captured their third conference championship with a final record of 9-2.
Then in '01, the Wildcats went younger. Although they were a developing group, they still went on to capture Kuz's fourth conference championship and were playoff-bound for the fifth consecutive year. That year, they finished 6-3 in the regular season before losing the first game of the playoffs to finish at 6-4.
The highlight of the 2001 season for Kuz was coaching his daughter and watching her graduate from high school.
"He wasn't easy on me," said Kuz's daughter, Kristen Kuceyeski, today an English teacher at . "He didn't bend the rules, he didn't change anything. I even had to cut my hair to be on the team, but it was very fun to be the varsity kicker."
Kuz and wife Martha have four children. The Kuceyeskis have three daughters and a son. Ms. Kuceyeski was the first of Kuz's children to play for him. Later, son John played for his father in '04 for the state championship game.
Three Years, Only Three Losses
However, 2001 became a pivotal year, as it gave time to develop some sophomores toward the end of the season. Leading into the 2002 season, junior Kevin Fontana was ready to go. The '02 Wildcats rolled over most of their competition, finishing the regular season with a record of 8-1, good enough for their third straight conference championship. They cruised through the playoffs, averaging an impressive 34.7 points a game that season. The Cats made it to the elite 8, the furthest they had ever made it under coach Kuz at that point. Fontana and Devon Parks went on to receive all-state recognitions in '02
After a career-best elite eight finish for Kuz, the next two seasons proved to be legendary. In 2003 and 2004, the Wildcats went a combined 17-1, with their only loss coming in overtime of the state finals against Oswego in 2003. The Wildcats went on to win the conference championship both years for a total of five straight conference titles. Statistically, the Wildcats' '03 season was the best season they ever had. They set season records in almost every major offensive category except for passing.
After a heart-wrenching overtime defeat to Oswego, the Cats came back more determined than ever. In '04, the defense was the high point for the Wildcats. The defense allowed an average of 11.7 points per game, while the offense averaged an impressive 34.1 points per game.
The Cats blew through everyone they played and allowed only 3 points in the state title game against Cary Grove. They were crowned state champions of Class 7A, Libertyville's only state title in football. During halftime of the state championship game, Kuz got in line in the stands to get a hot dog.
"I was waiting in line to get some food during halftime with my sons," explained Mr. Stevens, director of student services. "I was talking to my son when I looked up and noticed Kuz in front of me. I didn't realize it was his brother Ron at the time but he turned around and saw my face and said, 'What, I can't get a hot dog at halftime too?' He had me in shock before I realized it was Ron. Ron and Kuz were always playing tricks on faculty and students when Ron came to town to visit."
After the season, Kuz was voted by Nike as the Illinois High School Coach of the Year. He also was selected again to be on the coaching staff for the East-West Shrine game, this time being the head coach for the East squad.
"The '04 state title I will always remember. We shared some special memories and it was nice to coach my son in the state championship game," Kuz said.
The season was memorable for everyone. The team and coaches celebrated with all the students, the staff and the community.
"It was a great season. The buzz around school, everyone was expecting to go down and win state in '04. Every Friday the stadium was packed and everyone followed the team to all the away games. It was two back-to-back stellar years for LHS," Johnson said.
Success breeds success, and after the '04 season, the Cats continued to make the playoffs for the next two years and won yet another conference championship in 2006. In '05, they went 6-3 and then advanced to the sweet 16, finishing 7-4. And in '06, the Cats went 9-0 in the regular season and advanced to the sweet 16 again before losing a close game to Rolling Meadows to finish their season 10-1.
Since '07, the Wildcats have gone 21-26, making the playoffs in 2008 and 2011. In 2009, Kuz was awarded the Randy Walker "Doing Great" Award by the National Football Coaches Foundation. In '09 Kuz also was selected by the NFL to represent the state of Illinois at the National Youth Development Summit in Canton, Ohio.
The Little Things
Every year, Kuz does more than just coach. Occasionally Kuz and the football coaches will go to the kickoff dance with a new theme, and do the lip-sync dance. He also always plays a lead role at the homecoming assembly, with fun games and cheers for the students to do.
Outside of football, his job at is as a physical education teacher, where he connects with students who don't necessarily play football. He connects with them on a deeper level and can become friends with his students.
"Not only are the students losing coach Kuz, but the faculty is losing a leader." said assistant athletic director Jon Fischl. "He always has great ideas and fun things to do, and he speaks to every one of his colleagues with emotion and it comes from the heart. Everyone here will miss him."
The Final Season
In Kuz's last season the team and community have come together to honor him. In 2010 against Stevenson, the Wildcats unveiled pink uniforms to help fight breast cancer and raise awareness. Then in 2011, to start the season, the Wildcats showed off their new camouflage jerseys against Barrington to raise money for the wounded warrior project. Then, later in the year against Warren for the homecoming game, Schurr invited back all the captains that played for Kuz in his 19 seasons.
When coach Kuz leaves, he will join the ranks of the legendary coaches of Libertyville, such as basketball coach Max Sanders, baseball coach Jim Panther, wrestling coach Dale Eggert and now football coach Randy Kuceyeski.
"Kuz is just a winner; I wish him the best of luck to him and his family. Football wasn't everything to him. He is just overall a great guy," Schurr said.

First of all thanks for a fantastic recipe! My husband loves seafood and creamy sauces, so to begin I sautee some fresh shrimp and scallops in a pan just lightly seasoned with salt and pepper. Once those are just done (do not overcook) I remove them from the pan (to be reheated in the sauce). For the sauce, I cut the olive oil in half as per other reviews. When I add the spices in the oil to heat; I have found that the longer you heat them the more flavor your sauce will take on. I heat them for about 5 - 7 minutes (stirring often) before I add anything else. I also add the wine before the tomatoe sauce to give the alcohol a chance to boil out. I also cut the sugar out. I guess this depends on your taste, but I find the sugar makes the sauce too sweet for us. We like spicy/savoury food. Once the cream has been added and starts to heat up I put my shrimps and scallops in the sauce and reheat(only a few minutes). I toss this with Fettucini and I get RAVE reviews all the time!!
This is a family hit! I have made this recipe several times, using it as a sauce over lobster ravioli. My only recommendation is to add good quality wine before the tomato sauce, bringing it to a boil to evaporate off the strong alcohol flavor. It will also help to thicken the sauce.
This sauce is FANTASTIC. I made it for a food demo in a grocery store. Everyone who tried it liked it. I usually do not like what I make but as soon as I took one bite I knew this sauce was a winner. I didn't bother with the peppers or onions. Instead of pasta I had cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into chunks; then I breaded the chunks in flour and oregano then sauteed the floured chicken chunks in olive oil. After sauteeing the chicken, I prepared the sauce in the same pan. I could not believe how good this sauce is. I'll definitely make this again, and again, and again!!!

By David Koenig and Michael Liedtke
The Associated Press
ROUND ROCK, Texas — Michael Dell believes he can revive the company bearing his name if his group of investors can buy it for $24.4 billion. But that deal is in danger of falling apart, increasing the chances that the personal computer giant's founder might not be CEO much longer.
The formidable challenges already facing Dell Inc. and its CEO got more daunting Thursday with the slumping company's decision to delay a vote on Michael Dell's proposed buyout.
The postponement until next Wednesday signals that a five-month campaign by Michael Dell and the company's board hasn't overcome the staunch resistance of billionaire Carl Icahn and other shareholders, who argue that the buyout price is too low and discounts the company's long-term prospects.
Michael Dell's offer has the support of three shareholder-advisory firms and is backed by the financial clout of buyout specialist Silver Lake Partners and a group of lenders. It would take the company private so that Michael Dell can try to engineer a long-term recovery without the glare of Wall Street and its fixation with quarter-to-quarter expectations.
The offer works out to $13.65 per share, or more than 40 percent below where the stock stood in early 2007. That was when Michael Dell returned for a second stint as the company's CEO — just a few months before Apple Inc. started selling the iPhone, which triggered a mobile-computing revolution that left Dell Inc. on shaky ground.
Rather than relying on the types of desktops and laptops made by Dell, more people are embracing convenient and powerful smartphones and tablet computers to connect to the Internet and handle other common computing tasks. In a telltale sign of the upheaval, tablets are expected to outsell laptops for the first time this year.
Michael Dell plans to invest heavily in tablets and a new breed of hybrid PCs that offer the touch-screen controls of mobile devices. That commitment is likely to depress the company's earnings until the additional spending pays off. At the same time, he wants Dell to become a diversified seller of technology services, business software and high-end computers — much the way IBM Corp. successfully transformed itself in the 1990s.
Unlike IBM, Michael Dell believes the radical makeover can be better done by a company that isn't facing Wall Street's pressures to increase profits and revenue from one quarter to the next.
That's why he structured his buyout to end Dell's 25-year history as a publicly held company — a run that has made the 48-year-old CEO one of the world's richest people, with an estimated fortune of $15 billion, according to Forbes' latest rankings.

NIce pants, Dressy or Casual I like these pants very much. The material is a little thinner than what I expected from a Chino style pant but they are very comfortable and lightweight. Nice to wear with a casual outfit or can be dressed up too. July 18, 2014
cute and comfy I like to wear light casual pants on the weekends in the summer and these are really cute on. they are casual but a little more dressy than you might expect. love them! July 5, 2014
Buy multiple Like some of the earlier reviews state, these pants loosen up a bit. I am a solid 10 and mine are fully stretched now and sag a little. that being said I love these and wish I had gotten them in every color! Very comfortable and easy to dress up! July 5, 2014
Less than awesome cut The look super cute on the model, but I'm a size 2 and the pair I bought were too snug around the calves. Kind of a weird shape, but the fabric is nice. Maybe order a size up? July 3, 2014
Rips In Back Pocket I love the fit and feel of these pants- perfect for Seattle summers- cool in the morning to hot afternoons. They do fit low on the hips and the ankle roll takes them to a perfect place on my 5'6" frame. HOWEVER, my first pair ripped by the back pocket only after a few wears and two washes! And I am not hard on my clothes and I washed cold, line dried. I was bummed. Returned them with no problems and the salesgirl agreed it was product defect, not me. Well, I got two more pairs and after one wash each I am already seeing where they will soon rip. I recommend these with reservations- maybe it's just a size 2 flaw. June 26, 2014
Nice Casual Pant These are very comfortable casual summer pants. A nice spin on the classic chino. June 26, 2014
So cute! I love these pants! The fit is great on me and the colors I bought are really fun and colorful. The fabric is nice and soft too, they feel like a brushed cotton. I am really happy that I purchased these pants! June 20, 2014
My New Favorite Summertime Pants I absolutely love these pants! I was skeptical at first buying pants to wear in the summer, but they are amazing! Lightweight, cool and comfortable. I wear either a 6 or 8 in The Limited pants and I purchased a 6. They are loose in the legs, which I prefer in warmer weather. I bought the mint green and the color is just right, not too light and not too green. June 18, 2014

A:Honestly I do not know the inseam but hopefully this info helps;
I am 5' 4" and hippy and I wear a size 4 regular. If your roll the bottom twice, like what is shown in the picture, it hits right above the ankle. The nice thing with these pants is they are thinner so you can roll them more than twice if you want them shorter! I totally recommend these pants if you're undecided!

Special to The Sun
If you're not feeling fallish yet, a trip to the Myriad Botanical Gardens' Pumpkinville will set the stage for the season. Yes, it's primarily for children but visitors of all ages will enjoy the clever creations and elaborate decorations.
You'll find a plethora of pumpkins — 3,000 big ones and 2,000 tiny ones. Add 800 chrysanthemums — yellow, gold and lavender — and the permanent plantings in the Children's Garden and you have a riot of color. Permanent installations like Laurie Spencer's Philodendron Dome are complemented with temporary art like the "Guard of the Harvest" by Hugh Meade. The Guard is a giant owl with outstretched wings. Expect a growing nest and the hatching of little owlets.
One of my favorite areas was Max's Bedroom — a leafy recreation of Max's room from Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are." Large cut-outs of Max and some of the Wild Things surround the space and a marvelous storytelling chair by artist Don Narcomey offers the perfect perch for storytellers.
Scattered throughout the gardens are three giant candy corn-shaped huts with play stations inside. Permanent architecturally created hills and valleys give youngsters a chance to roll, slide, run and play. Added features during Pumpkinville include a hay bale maze, pumpkin bowling, a corn hole game, witch's hat ring toss and an amazing candy corn castle.
Scarecrows — scary, funny, classy or casual — lurk around every curve of the paths through the gardens. Sixteen groups or individuals created these straw-stuffed sentinels. Overture, an organization affiliated with the Oklahoma City Philharmonic, contributed a trio of black-suited musicians while Alice and Ron Page's Vincent Van Crow displays his painting "Scary Night."
Pumpkinville is full of picture opportunities but one of the favorite spots is a hanging picture frame with a box of costumes for creating classy compositions. For a small fee, little artists can paint a pumpkin to take home. And, in case of need, the Boos and Ghouls rooms are close by.
Pumpkinville will be open until Oct. 31 at the Myriad Gardens, 301 W. Reno Ave., in Oklahoma City. Cost to visit is $5 per child and $3 per adult for non-members. A special Halloween Party will be from 5-8 p.m. Oct. 26. The charge is $10 per child, $8 for adult non-members. There is no charge to members for either admission to Pumpkinville or the Halloween Party.

What Attracted Me to CURL:
During my sophomore year at Loyola, I began researching minor programs that would allow me to create a bridge between my passion for social justice and my interest in health care issues. I discovered CURL when I found the Urban Studies minor and was drawn in by the opportunity to collaborate with community partners on research that will have a direct impact on communities within the Chicago area. What excites me about being an undergraduate research fellow is the opportunity to expand upon my interests in public health, health care disparities and the interconnectedness between people and their environments.
What I Hope to Gain from CURL:
I hope to gain new perspectives on current social issues and a better understanding of how the concepts I have learned in my Urban Studies courses are being implemented in real-life situations. I also hope to expand my research capabilities and learn more about techniques for conducting community-based research on a variety of social issues.

A 33-year-old Lincoln woman accused of setting her home on fire has been given 20-to-48 months in prison.
Last month, Julia Frederick pleaded guilty to attempted second-degree arson. Frederick was sentenced on Monday.
Police say Frederick set fire to a sheet inside the mobile home on Nov. 3, 2010, then left. Fire officials say the home was a total loss.
No injuries were reported.
Frederick was being evicted from the home.
Her attorney, Chris Eickholt, told Judge Jodi Nelson on Monday that Frederick's behavior was a cry for help. Eickholt says Frederick "does things that don't make a lot of sense."
He also says Frederick has gotten help for medical and substance-abuse issues that contributed to her actions.

By Tom Schultz For the Herald
The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — Waiting until Wednesday to play their baseball games against the Burlington Grayhounds turned out to be a good decision for the Clinton River Kings. Not only did they avoid playing in the rain Monday, but they swept the doubleheader, winning 6-0 and 13-3.
Young, lanky, left-hander Cole Pennock was on the mound for the opener and came out throwing hard with good bite on his curve.
"I knew I was rolling when I was throwing my curve consistently for strikes because I knew they didn't want to swing at that pitch; they wanted to swing at my fastball," Pennock said. "So I could throw that for strikes, and I forced them to swing at what I wanted them to and I can pitch my game."
Pennock spread out four Grayhounds hits over the seven-inning shutout and at one point retired nine straight batters.
"Outstanding pitching performance from Cole Pennock. I think that's the best I've seen him pitch since he's been a River King," coach Kevin Cunningham said.
With solid defense behind him, Pennock was able to relax on the mound and take control.
"I felt good. I knew I had a great defense behind me tonight. The goal was tonight to keep my pitch count down, and I think I did a good job with that tonight," Pennock said.
Burlington wasn't able to move a runner past second base during the game, and the River Kings got out of any tense situations by relying on their defense, which turned a flawless double play in the fifth to neutralize a threat.
Clinton picked up all of its offense for the first game in the bottom of the third. Sending 12 batters to the plate, Clinton knocked out six hits and took advantage of a Burlington error to give themselves some breathing room. The two-run error was followed by the biggest blow of the inning, a two-run single by Cody Nolan that put the game out of reach at 6-0.
The second game started off a bit rocky for the River Kings, who were in a 2-0 hole after the top of the first. Burlington capitalized on two Clinton errors in that inning, which began with a single from Chanse McChesney.
"My defense is really what I can depend on," said Jake Simpson, Clinton's Game 2 starter. "My defense really just always comes through for me and helps me, so when I'm in that 3-1 count, 3-2 count, I can throw that fastball and know that I have a defense behind me if they hit it."
Clinton wasted no time fighting back, putting two runs across the plate on two Grayhounds errors, two hits and a sacrifice fly, the first of three on the night from Cody Collender. The game didn't stay tied for long, as Burlington squeaked out another run against Simpson on three bloop singles to the outfield.
"They're hard to deal with. You think, 'Oh, I could have maybe struck them out,' but in the end there's nothing you can do about it so you just have to erase it and come back with the next batter," Simpson said.
From there, Simpson shut down the Grayhounds, and the Clinton offense was only getting started.
The River Kings took over the lead in the third with three runs on another Burlington error and a two-run single from Evan Jackson, who drove in five runs during the win. A single run in the fourth gave the River Kings breathing room with a 6-3 lead, but they weren't done yet.
Things broke open big time in the sixth inning.
"It's funny. We tend to be behind in the beginning and then typically in the third or the sixth inning, for whatever reason, seem to be the inning that everything starts to flow for us, and we saw it again tonight in the sixth inning. That seems to be our inning all the time," Cunningham said.
The River Kings scored four runs before reliever Gavin Standard got the first out of the inning. It all started with a towering triple from Collender, and after that, the hitting was contagious.
Ryan Driscoll hit a grounder to first, but first baseman Brice Plein was slow on the throw, allowing Collender to slide in safely. Meanwhile, the Grayhounds left second base unoccupied, and Driscoll kept running on the chopper that would have been an easy out. Driscoll was driven in by Jordan Chapman, who followed a beautiful bunt single from Nolan that loaded the bases.
The big blow came from Jackson, who ripped a three-run double to the gap, making it 11-3 in favor of Clinton.
The River Kings kept pounding away at Standard, pushing across two more runs for the 10-run win over Burlington and the sweep that brought their conference record back to .500.
"We've won four MAC games in a row, and I think we've won nine games in a row. Going for 10 in a row on Saturday. I think we're hitting our stride, and it's an excellent time for that to happen." Cunningham said with playoffs on his mind, which are just around the corner.

Discover the Mediterranean aboard our privately owned 50-passenger, 4-star plus vessels
Cruise the Mediterranean aboard our richly appointed, custom-built small ships—which were designed to carry just two groups of 25 passengers, each with its own dedicated Program Director. The M/V Athena, Arethusa, and Artemis are ideally suited for exploring the scenic shores and idyllic islands of the Aegean and Adriatic
Navigate into smaller ports, bringing you closer to the real culture of less-traveled locales
With their mellow teak decks, and well-appointed public areas, these small ships, which are fully owned, operated, and staffed by Grand Circle Cruise Line, emphasize comfort, while providing access to smaller island ports larger ships simply cannot go, allowing you to witness—and join—the daily life of the local people.
Settle into your private cabin with balcony—designed with American standards in mind—each evening
Each of these vessels feature 18 cabins on the Upper Deck, all measuring approximately 150 to 170 sq. ft. plus 30 sq. ft. en suite baths with showers. These cabins also feature large sliding-glass doors opening to private balconies for relaxing in the open air. The six cabins on the Main Deck also average 150 to 170 sq. ft. and feature portholes that may be opened. The two single cabins, located adjacent to the crew's cabins on the lower decks, are approximately 140 sq. ft. in size with fixed port holes. Each cabin features a private bath with shower, movable beds that are accessible throughout the day, a flat-screen TV with CNN, telephone, safe, mini-fridge, individually controlled air-conditioning, hair dryer, and dual electrical outlets.
Enjoy the spacious Sun Deck—a place to relax and meet new friends
Your small ship's public area's include the spacious Sun Deck where you can lie back and catch the breezes or just admire stunning views of the islands of the Mediterranean with your fellow travelers—perhaps with a cocktail from the outdoor buffet/bar. On some overnights, you'll enjoy open-air dining as you look out over the fortified gates of a perfectly preserved medieval town.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the comfort and safety of coastal cruising
As your small ship navigates along the coast of the region you're exploring—rather than cruising through rougher open ocean waters—you can rest assured knowing you're not far from the shore, sailing alongside private yachts rather than larger cruise ships.
Gain an up-close perspective of the local culture—by day and night
After your day's explorations, perhaps you'll enjoy the ease of venturing off your ship to sample the area's local culture by night—in many instances, we're docked directly in the port's town center. Plus, you'll have ample time to explore on your own, as we spend more time docked in these ports than other cruise lines.
Enjoy personal and dedicated service from a gracious onboard crew
Our small ships feature an international crew of 21, meaning that you'll receive dedicated, personal service throughout your cruise. After your first day aboard, members of our friendly team will already know your name. And while our staff and crew members are fluent in English, you'll appreciate the wide range of nationalities represented. Trained and supervised by Grand Circle Cruise Line—with American standards of quality service in mind—our crew are committed to your complete comfort and safety.

NEW ALBANY — Residents will find out April 17 who will finish out Darin Coddington's term, which ends Dec. 31, 2014, as Floyd County Auditor.
Coddington announced last month he would resign his post effective May 3. He cited "personal reasons" for stepping down. Coddington came under fire recently when Floyd County Council members said they were given the wrong figures from the auditor's office last fall when preparing the 2013 budget, which is why the county now has a $2.4 million deficit. However, Coddington has said he is not resigning due to the budget issue.
Floyd County Republican Party Chairman David Matthews confirmed Tuesday night that a caucus has been scheduled for April 17 to replace Coddington. The meeting to elect the next auditor will be held at the Greenville Fire Department headquarters and is not open to the public. The only ones attending will be precinct committee chairs who will vote with a secret ballot for the new auditor.
Matthews said he has received three resumes for the position and said it is not too late to apply. He said those interested must be a registered Republican and should contact him at 812-923-8951.
Since announcing his resignation, Coddington has not been attending Floyd County Commissioners or council meetings. Chief Deputy Auditor Amanda Ault has been representing the office at meetings.

The Vulcan 900 series from Kawasaki was first introduced in 2006. The 2006 Vulcan 900 cruisers are around 8.08 feet tall, 39.6 inches wide, 41.9 inches tall, and have 5.3 inches of ground clearance. The Vulcan 900 series comes with a two-piece seat that is made of vinyl and equipped with a detachable passenger seat.
The seat is made to hold a maximum of two people. The frames of these cruisers are made of steel. The Vulcan 900 series comes with a standard grab rail and handgrips as well. The Kawasaki Vulcan 900 also comes equipped with a floorboard for the driver. The center dash of the Vulcan 900 series bikes comes equipped a fueled warning gauge, a speedometer, a temperature warning light, a trip odometer, a clock, and digital instrumentation. The Vulcan Classic LT also comes equipped with a high tinted windshield that is adjustable.
Many riders love the Classic LT because of its smooth ride, easy handling, and low-end power and acceleration. Many novice riders enjoy using the Vulcan 900 series as a starter bike because of the cruiser's reliability, touring capabilities, and engine performance. Many novice riders are very happy with the Vulcan 900 as a starter bike and end up holding onto the cruiser for years and years. Many riders claim the Vulcan 900 series has no problem keeping up with bigger bikes and has great fuel economy as well.
Riders report an estimated 43 mpg for the 2006 Vulcan 900 series. These Vulcan cruisers are designed for touring but many riders still wish the bikes had a sixth gear. Some parts, like the starter, will be more expensive to replace than others, like the drive belt. Many riders love the Vulcan 900 series because of the combination of great fuel economy, stable handling, and powerful engine performance.
Many riders feel the 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 cruisers have great value and are worth the money. Riders love how responsive the handling is, the middleweight Vulcan 900's light weight, and its impressive acceleration as well. However, some riders feel the Vulcan begins to struggle at speeds over 65 mph.
Kawasaki released the Vulcan 900 Classic, Classic LT, and Custom editions for 2006. The Classic LT edition is the same as the Classic, with the addition of studded accents, saddlebags, and a backrest for the passenger as well. The Custom is the same as the Classic with the addition of drag-style handlebars, lower and smaller seats for the driver and passenger, and modifications to the wheel sizes.
Overall, many surveyed riders like the 2006 Vulcan 900 Classic LT more than the Vulcan 800 Drifter from 2005. Many riders prefer the 2006 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic over the LT version. Riders prefer both of the Vulcan 900 models from 2006 over most of the cruisers currently available.

Typification is typical social construction based on standard assumptions. Alfred Schutz who was a major influence in the development of phenomenological sociology suggests that in all of our encounters with others, with the exception of the most intimate of relationships, we experience and understand the other in terms of ideal types or typification.
In the process of typification we form a construct of a typical way of acting, assume typical underlying motivations or personality. For example, we make prior assumptions about the personalities and behavior of a doctor, priest or judge.
Ethnomethodology deals with the use of the process of typification as a tool for understanding how people like coroners, prosecutors, police officers and others achieve a sense of concreteness and predictability in their work. Coroners for example, may operate with a sense of a typical suicide.

COOPERSTOWN — Educational advantages of a community hospital were pointed out this month by Dr. James Bordley, 3rd, director of Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown.
In a guest editorial in the November issue of "Resident Physician," a nationally-circulated journal for hospital staff officers, Dr. Bordley explained that Mary Imogene Bassett Hospital differs from most small rural hospitals in that it is affiliated with a university (Columbia U. in New York), teaches undergraduate students, has a full-time professional staff, and carries on a large research program.
Dr. Bordley said students applying for internships at Bassett Hospital frequently ask about the advantages of interning in a small rural hospital such as Bassett.
The intern who has spent four years in the highly competitive environment of a medical school, in turning toward a pleasant and less hectic way of life, nevertheless wants to be assured that he is not paying too high a price in the currency of education, the doctor points out.
Dr. Bordley said the intern applicant fears that the clinical material may be insufficient in a small rural hospital to round out his experience and various specialties may not be adequately represented on the staff … or the educational program may be inadequately supported in the basic medical sciences such as biochemistry, microbiology and pathology.
Deficiencies may be offset to a considerable extent by compensating factors, Dr. Bordley feels.
"The small community hospital cannot be selective. It must deal with minor as well as the major problems; the 'uninteresting' as well as the 'fascinating' cases, and the bitter must be taken with the sweet because the rural community, unlike the big city, contains no other hospital to which the bitter can be shunted."

UPPER JAY — "On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Sukkot, seven days for the L-RD," Leviticus 23:34 reads.
Wilmington resident Robert Segall, an observant Jew, just finished celebrating the Festival of Sukkot, also called Succos, a harvest festival.
This year, Succos was observed from sunset Sept. 18 to nightfall on Sept. 25.
"The Israeli pronunciation is 'Sukkot,'" said Segall, who attends an Orthodox synagogue in Montreal.
"Instead of an 's,' there is a 't,' so a lot of people pronounce it that way. It actually means 'booths.' It describes this as a temporary shelter," he said.
"In the Torah, it describes the holiday. You have to have seven days. It's in the Book of Leviticus. It describes the various holidays, starting with the Sabbath. You have six days you work, and on the seventh day you rest. On the 15th day of the seventh month is the Succos Festival for seven days. Then the eighth day is another holy convocation. It's called Shemini Atzeres (Atzeret)."
It is written in the Torah:
"On the 15th day of the seventh month when you gather in the crop of your land, you are to celebrate God's festival for seven days."
"So, it's a harvest festival," Segall said. "On the first day, you are to take for yourself the fruit of the citron tree. It's called an esrog (etrog), branches of the date palm, twigs of a plaited tree (myrtle) and brook willows. There's an importance to this."
Known as the Four Species, "Arba Minim" in Hebrew, the plants are waved when reciting specific prayers.
"The esrog is a citrus fruit," Segall said. "It's similar to a lemon, but obviously it's not. It doesn't have the same flesh as a lemon. It's very bitter (with a) fibrous core. The symbol of the esrog, it has both taste and smell. The myrtle has smell but no taste. The palm has taste but no smell. The brook willow has neither taste nor smell. So these symbolize the four natures of human beings.

A Tip of the Hat to the Torrents
These are the "good ol' days," when those with little resources can take part in the plenty. Enjoy it, you're not alone. Research firms estimate torrents account for up to 55% percent of Internet bandwidth. Live it up while you can.
BUSAN, South Korea - Someday in the future, when your children want your credit card number to buy music, movies or software on the Internet, you can remind them of the time when it 'was all free!' When all a person had to do was go to a site and download to their hard drive's content.
Not that your children of the future will actually hear what you are saying as they multi-task Facebook's holographic interface while having Twitter fed to them intravenously, but at least you will have something to lord over them from the 'good ol' days.' In fact, they probably won't actually ask for the credit card number, they will instead text you from fingertip implants. I digress.
Truth be told, pirating off the Internet might very well be an endangered species headed the way of the Walkman. The battle between the two camps, which can roughly be narrowed down to "producers" and "thieves" rages on; with one side gaining an edge just as the other finds another.
The fine folks out there posting torrents and the sites that "host" them are a scrappy lot by sheer number. On the flip side, you have industry and government. Interestingly, the war on copyright infringement is the consummate converse of the drug war. Those that post pirated materials on the net, as well as those that download them, are not to be found on street corners for an easy police pick-up or an Adobe drive-by.
Corporate lawyers long ago accepted the error in judgement of the downloader and took aim at the tracking sites that supply them. The more notable examples include the closing of Supernova, Torrentspy, and Mininova. But small victories they were in the face of gray laws and an enemy combatant with more heads than the Hydra.
In 2008, The Pirate Bay torrent site, formed by a Swedish group in 2003, had its servers in Sweden raided by Swedish police on allegations by the MPAA of copyright infringement. Yet, the tracker was up and running again three days later on a different server in a different country. It still serves up the goods today. Rock on.
And yet, if movies have taught us anything, it is that our future cyberwebworld might not hold such plenty. Since the music industry alone will lose an estimated $200 billion over the next five years, they will continue to merge and eventually decide its worth throwing a couple billion on some unhackable security measures — so live it up while you can.
Forget about the stigma: you're not alone if you pilf the occasional tune or flick. Wide-ranging sources that track Internet traffic estimate bittorrents account for roughly 27% to 55% of total bandwidth, depending on geographic location. Just don't mention my name when the police robots bust your door down.
Some Good Torrent Sites

It has 2 million verified torrents, a rating system and a comment section with loads of obnoxious netizens to shake your head at. www.torrentfunk.com

Busan Haps does not condone or encourage pirating off the internet, we are simply pointing out the obvious.

HUNTINGTON W.Va. (WSAZ) -- America's weight problem is getting worse.
Just last week, we told you that experts predict more than half of all the people in 39 states will be obese by the year 2030. Regulators are hoping changes in the way food is marketed will help keep some of those numbers down.
According to Yale University's Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity, over two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese.
In an effort to help, McDonald's is now listing calorie information on menus in 14,000 restaurants. A new law requiring that takes effect next year and McDonald's is getting a head start.
In New York, the board of health has voted to ban the serving of sugary drinks in containers bigger than 16 ounces, although some have objected.
"We do not believe that restricting the size of one product in certain establishments in the city is the comprehensive approach that we need to deal with this issue," said Eliot Hoff, spokesperson for New Yorkers for Beverage Choices.
The ban applies to ballparks, restaurants, movie theaters and food trucks and is something New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has been standing behind the whole way.
"This is the single biggest step any city I think has ever taken to curb obesity," Bloomberg said.
The question now: will posting calorie counts and banning those big gulps actually work?
"We don't know specifically whether these things will work until they're tried," said Kelly Brownell, director of the Rudd Center.
Brownell says there are some studies that suggest moves like these may be effective.
"One thing that's nice is that different cities and states are trying different plans," Brownell said. "This provides lots of natural experiments that you can use to converge on a small set of bets practices."
Experts say the conversation alone is healthy because people are paying more attention to the obesity problem. Also, in all levels of government, officials are starting to talk about what they can do and should do.

Cer·ber·usnoun \ˈsər-b(ə-)rəs\
Definition of CERBERUS
Origin of CERBERUS
Cerberusnoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
In Greek mythology, the monstrous watchdog of the underworld. He was usually said to have three heads, though Hesiod says he had 50. Heads of snakes grew from his back, and he had a serpent's tail. He devoured anyone who tried to escape Hades's kingdom, and he refused entrance to living humans, though Orpheus gained passage by charming him with music. One of the labours of Heracles was to bring Cerberus up to the land of the living; after succeeding, he returned the creature to Hades.

NORMAN — Theresa M. Coffman Rodriguez departed this beautiful earth Tuesday, Feb. 5, 2013, after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
She leaves behind a loving husband, family and many friends. Theresa felt that from childhood, her true calling was teaching. She taught for the OU College of Architecture Regional and City Planning program in the 1990s and, from 2003 to 2012, was a key contributor to the new major in the Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Environment (IPE) program in the College of Arts and Sciences at OU.
Theresa graduated from Norman High School, earned a Master of Science in environmental science and a Master in regional and city planning, both from the University of Oklahoma. She was a committed environmentalist and loved nature. Theresa was proud of the work she did to raise respect, awareness and passion for our beautiful world and instill in her students mankind's role as stewards of the earth and our inherent responsibility to conserve and care deeply for its resources and all living creatures.
Her teaching for the IPE program at OU allowed her to explore and share her knowledge of a range of environmental issues. She developed courses in human health and the environment; food, agriculture and the environment; energy use and climate change; sprawl and environmentally conscious living. Her courses were very popular and filled early. Theresa had a powerful positive impact on many students as well as many of her colleagues.
She was an avid reader and gardener, had great affection for her cats and enjoyed foreign languages, travel and time spent with her husband and good friends.
In lieu of flowers, Theresa requested that donations be made to Second Chance Animal Sanctuary of Norman, World Wildlife Fund, Natural Wildlife Federation or The Environmental Working Group.

Sandy is behind me. Our power is back. Our lives are back to normal. Our yard looks fine. I feel blessed. I feel normal.
I had breakfast at the Nazareth Diner a couple of days ago and noticed that it felt strange to me to walk right in and be seated. I told the hostess the last time we were there, we were lined up outside waiting to get in as they were one of the few places that had power last week. We were all pretty grungy and would have waited all day for a hot breakfast. After that, we went to GameStop -- weird, I know -- Sam's Club, and then to the Y to workout and get a hot shower.
A student who works in my office at DeSales University whose family lives in New Jersey told me this week that her family expects to be without power until Thanksgiving and that shocked me back into reality. Sandy isn't a memory for many people.
Today, I took my dog to the Nazareth Borough Dog Park and saw the damage. Again, a reminder that there are still issues remaining.
My in-laws who live in Upper Nazareth had 10 trees come down last Monday night and not one struck the house. Again, we feel blessed.
It's weird to walk around as if everything is normal, because in some ways, it isn't and for many people it won't be for a long time.

Glasgow Daily Times
The Glasgow Highland Games representatives scored funding from the Glasgow-Barren County Tourist Commission on Tuesday, but it wasn't as much as they had hoped to get.
The commission voted to contribute $12,500 toward the event, even though Bob Harrison, president of the games, requested $15,000.
"An event that goes that long should be ... self-sustainable," said commissioner Kim Shipley. "I guess my reasoning is some times you have to make things more toward [becoming more self-sustainable]."
The commission has made a contribution to help support the event for several years. In 2012, the commission increased the amount it had given from $10,000 to $12,500.
Giving any more would have a significant impact on the commission's budget.

Posted Tuesday, May 15, 2012 --- 12:49 p.m.
RHINELANDER, Wis. (AP) -- Rhinelander High School administrators say the students who walked out of class last week to protest teacher layoffs will be given detention for their actions, but they won't be suspended.
About 70 students walked out of the high school for a few hours last Wednesday to show support for four teachers who were given layoff notices because of a $2 million dollar budget shortfall.
Rhinelander High School Associate Principal David Ditzler tells Wisconsin Public Radio News administrators are hoping to meet with each student individually to discuss disciplinary actions, which he says will likely include a few hours of detention after school next week.
One student says they walked out because they wanted their teachers to know that they "have someone who will stick up for them."

For the Herald
The Clinton Herald
---- — BETTENDORF — Ever since the schedule had been set, nothing about the regular season's final two games favored the Clinton football team.
Closing with road games against Mississippi Athletic Conference powers Pleasant Valley and Bettendorf, the River Kings had to shine their brightest.
In Friday's regular-season finale at Bettendorf, Clinton overcame a lopsided stat sheet to stay close through much of the game. But ultimately, the Kings couldn't overcome a big, deep, quick Bulldogs team, which won 44-13 to secure a home playoff opener.
Clinton (4-5) will open the playoffs Wednesday, again on the road.
"They've been pretty good at adjusting at halftime and really believing that something's going to happen," Kings coach Lee Camp said of his boys. "I was really proud of the defense again, coming out."
Indeed, Clinton's defense performed extraordinarily, particularly given that the unit was on the field more than 19 of 24 first-half minutes. Senior linebacker Kristian Bahnsen ensured Bettendorf wouldn't get off too easily, returning an interception 70 yards for a touchdown to pull the Kings to within two points at 9-7 midway through the second quarter.
Bettendorf (7-2) led 16-7 at halftime and again found itself unable to break the game open in the third quarter. After its offense produced only negative-1 yard in the first half, Clinton had 141 after intermission.
Leaping over Bettendorf defensive back Austin Broyles, Clinton junior Brady Ernst snared a 17-yard touchdown reception from Eric Maddasion to cut the deficit to 22-13.
"Our O-line did a great job in the second half getting a push," Ernst said. "We got the offense going, and that just opened up everything.
"Eric does a great job throwing the ball up, and I just do my best to go get it."
The final 15 minutes of the game weren't nearly as kind to the Kings, and Bettendorf finished with almost 500 yards of total offense.
Still, given the unrelenting conclusion to the MAC schedule, Camp and company boast a healthy optimism entering the second season.
"We've shown we can keep up with the best," Ernst said. "Our defense helps us out, but we have to help them out by moving the ball and getting in good field position, putting points on the board."

DES MOINES -- Wednesday's ousting of defending state champion Ankeny ended a little too close for comfort. After Clinton built an 8-0 lead after two innings, the Hawks chipped their deficit to within two runs in the seventh inning.
Ryan Driscoll ended hopes of a comeback, though, shutting the door with three straight strikeouts, and the River Kings escaped, 10-8, their first baseball tournament win in 43 years.
"People who saw that game last night are in their backyard pretending to be Ryan Driscoll," Clinton coach Kevin Cunningham said a day later. "That's a great tribute to him."
He reported the team is still savoring the sweet victory, soaking in all the glory that coincides with a deep playoff run. The River Kings aren't "cocky, but confident" they have the skills to garner a championship.
The focus now is on tonight's date with Sioux City East in the semifinals, a game that has a much different billing than Wednesday's first round. The question against Ankeny was if Clinton's bats could strike gold against the Hawks' high-powered aces. The River Kings connected with 10 runs on 11 hits.
The debate looming over the semifinals is which high-octane offense will rule the night.
"They're a 30-plus win team. If you look at their stats and look at ours, we match up pretty identical," Cunningham said. "It's going to be a competitive game for us — the rest of these games are."
The Black Raiders (31-9) hold slight edges in most offensive categories. They lead Class 4A with a combined .366 batting average (against Clinton's .329). Regarding on-base percentage (.448 vs. .442), stolen bases (94 to 91) and runs (third and fourth in 4A), the two teams are neck-and-neck.
Comparing top hitters is also a toss-up. Will it be Clinton's Cody Collender (.429, 41 RBIs, nine home runs, .493 OBP) or East's Tyler Franko (.421, 20 doubles, 45 RBIs, .497 OBP)? The Kings' Cody Nolan (.402, 31 RBIs) or the Raiders' Dom Thompson-Williams (.463, 30 RBIs)? Or will other capable hitters (Clinton's Dustin and Alex Caldwell, Driscoll come to mind) deliver?

Don't Wait for a Fracture to Get Screened
Losing some bone density is a natural part of aging. But for millions of people with osteoporosis, or "porous bone," their bones become so weakened that a minor fall or injury can result in a fracture, often in the hip or spine.
Although anyone can develop osteoporosis, postmenopausal women lose bone more rapidly due to the sharp drop in estrogen. In fact, it is estimated that one in two women over 50 will break a bone due to this bone-robbing disease.
Fortunately, there are actions you can take to prevent osteoporosis – and to build bone strength if you already have it. The first step is to assess your current condition by getting a bone density test.
Bone Health Services
Holland Hospital now offers Bone Health Services, along with a number of other services focused on women's health, at its eastern location: the Holland Hospital Medical Building in Zeeland. Bone Health Services is designed to give you everything you need to understand osteoporosis and reduce your risk of fractures. Bone density tests – quick and painless low-radiation scans – are done on state-of-the-art DXA* machines by specially trained radiology technologists.
At the heart of the program is an in-depth assessment of each patient's current condition and risk factors. This consultation can take up to 90 minutes – a small commitment of time considering the difference it can make in your future quality of life, notes nurse practitioner Anne McKay, MSN, who helped develop the Bone Health program.
"Osteoporosis is a silent disease, so you may not know you have it until you break a bone," McKay says. "That's why bone density screening and follow-up care are so important. We can help patients prevent potentially disabling fractures."
If osteoporosis or osteopenia (low bone density) is detected, McKay works closely with her patients to develop a bone-building treatment plan, which may include:
Screening Guidelines
The National Osteoporosis Foundation recommends that all women begin bone density testing at age 65, and men at age 70. Men and postmenopausal women with risk factors may need to get screened earlier. (See Risk Factors at left.)
McKay cautions that a heel scan, which Holland Hospital offers free of charge to women at age 65, can give preliminary information but should not replace the hospital's more advanced bone density scan.
"If you're 65 years old (or 70 for men), Medicare will cover a top-quality bone density test," she notes. "In addition, you'll get an experienced clinician who will talk with you about lifestyle and risk factors, and check for secondary conditions that can affect your bone health."
Success story
Ann Coffey, 73, is glad she got a bone density test earlier this year. The Fennville resident had been tested years earlier and was taking a daily calcium supplement, so thought she was spared from her family history of osteoporosis. But when a routine lab test showed she had unusually high levels of calcium in her blood, her doctor advised her to make an appointment at Bone Health Services.
After a bone density scan and careful review of her risk factors, McKay found that Coffey's "fracture score" (measures probability of breaking a bone) was five times higher than it should be. More tests revealed that her rapid bone deterioration was due to a rare parathyroid disorder that causes calcium to be leached out of bones. The problem was corrected, and Coffey is now reducing her risk for fractures through exercise and medication.
"I'm very aware of osteoporosis because my mother had it and broke her hip, but I didn't have any idea that I had it," Coffey says. "Anne [McKay] really delved into my problem and even contacted my family practitioner to discuss my health. It's a great relief to know I can do something about it."
