A Fairfield family will be honored by the Connecticut chapter of the Special Olympics next month, according to a release from the organization.
The Keenoy family -- parents Pete and Beth and their three children Kathleen, Lauren, and Timothy -- will be recognized at the Special Olympics Hall of Fame Dinner at the Aqua Turf Country Club in Plantsville on Wednesday, March 20.
The Keenoys will receive the Eunice Murtha Award, an honor bestowed upon an individual or family who, through philanthropic means, has made a significant impact on the Special Olympics organizaiton.
"We are glad to pitch in and help because my family believes that Special Olympics is a wonderful organization that does great work," Pete Keenoy said. Keenoy first became involved in the Special Olympics movement when his younger sister became an athlete with the Special Olympics Massachusetts program.
For nearly 15 years Keenoys have volunteered at the Special Olympics Connecticut games. During the Summer Games, the Keenoys assist as athlete escorts and with the field events. At Winter Games, they help out at the floor hockey competition and volunteer at bowling during the Holiday Sports Classic.
The family's commitment to supporting the games each year and the Keenoy's knowledge of proper scoring rules as well as their familiarity with the athletes and coaches help ensure the games run smoothly and successfully.
The Keenoys also financially support Special Olympics Connecticut each year.
Those who wish to attend the Hall of Fame Dinner to support the Keenoys and Special Olympics Connecticut can reserve $25 tickets in advance by calling 203-230-1201, ext. 276 or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. Registration for the dinner begins at 5 p.m. on March 20 and the event starts at 6 p.m.

|Elcira Bermudez, a 2004 graduate of The University of Texas-Pan American and now a manufacturing engineer at Raytheon Company, was named as a Pillar of Success by the University.
"When we came to America, we came here illegally and we were always afraid to be deported at any time," Bermudez said.
Her destiny would surpass her wildest expectations. The young girl did not realize then she would become a pioneer for female Hispanics.
Bermudez rose through the engineering ranks and is now a driving force behind Raytheon Company, a major defense government contractor for the armed forces and a global leader in defense and homeland security. She works on the contractor's multi-spectral targeting systems as the operations lead.
Bermudez's voyage began in Guatemala where she and her five siblings were born. When she was 10 years old her family made a terrifying journey into the United States and eventually settled in Edinburg in search of a better life. Times were tough and money was scarce, but Bermudez said her mother labored tirelessly in restaurants to support them.
"My mother worked extremely hard to give all her six children what we needed and she taught me the most valuable lesson which is my work ethic," Bermudez said. "Arriving from an extremely poor country, opportunities and success in America only come to those who work hard and don't give up."
Bermudez took that lesson to heart. Though she knew no English, Bermudez quickly picked up the language and excelled in her classes. In junior high, while she was in the process of obtaining permanent legal residency status, she was selected for a unique program at UTPA, the Educational Talent Search (ETS), a federally funded outreach program for early intervention.
"I owe a lot of my education success to ETS," Bermudez said.
In high school, Bermudez discovered her enthusiasm for mathematics in a pre-calculus class at Edinburg North High School.
"It was with Mr. Jesus Mata. It was his passion for math and the format he used to teach in classes that sparked my interest initially in the engineering field. I remember him always telling me that I should go into engineering," she said.
After high school, Bermudez's illegal immigrant status came full circle. Her family received a letter from the U.S. Immigration Department that would decide their fate. They were summoned to court.
"Thank God we were officially welcomed to America by the judge and I will never forget the words she told us. She said the doors of opportunity are wide open and it is up to you to go get those dreams," Bermudez said. "Since then, I don't just dream, I dream big."
That is when Bermudez followed her high school teacher's advice and enrolled at UTPA.
"UTPA offers one of the top engineering programs and the staff made sure we were not only book smart, but provided real life scenarios for the students to be involved in," Bermudez said.
Even so, school was a struggle. Classes were complex and Bermudez said her family could not even afford a home computer so she spent hours poring over her books on campus.
"It was very difficult for my mother to understand why I spent several hours studying. I practically lived at the University to complete all my engineering projects," Bermudez said. "It was a huge sacrifice, but I would do it all over again."
Her dedication paid off. Bermudez graduated in 2004 with a Bachelor of Science in Manufacturing Engineering degree. She also managed to squeeze in a little romance. Bermudez met her husband at UTPA when they were both freshmen.
"We didn't really start dating until he was a senior. We were both fully focused on our school and career. He is currently working on his Ph.D. in electrical engineering," she said.
Bermudez later earned her master's degree in engineering at Southern Methodist University. The 31-year-old now lives with her husband in McKinney, Texas and is a manufacturing engineer for Raytheon's intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems. She has been with the company for six years.
It was not easy to break into the male-dominated field, but Bermudez said Raytheon was the perfect fit.
"Being a female Hispanic engineer seemed to be a major challenge, but luckily for me, Raytheon Company is a leader in diversity initiatives. My team members value my opinions and business decisions and I always feel included," Bermudez said.
Bermudez said she is also honored to be included as one of UTPA's Pillars of Success. The University recognized the new handful of inductees Feb. 17 during its Alumni Ball.
"I am very humbled to receive this award. This award gives me more visibility and I hope to continue to reach out in the community to make a greater impact with Hispanic education," Bermudez said.
She is already an avid volunteer in her community serving as a mentor for youth and new employees. Bermudez works diligently to deliver the Raytheon MathMovesU program to students as a means to motivate them to seek math, science, and engineering degrees. She has received a number of awards and recognitions including Raytheon's 2011 Women to Watch Award.
Bermudez credits two things for her success: perseverance and ambition.
"One must not give up in the face of difficult moments or become despondent, but always have the drive or 'ganas' to succeed," she said.

Branding, design and CMS website build for United Nations online magazine.
Africa Renewal Online is the online version of a United Nations publication dedicated to the analysis of news and issues in Africa.
With the magazine unchanged for near 20 years and beginning to show it, something special was required to return the design of this very important publication to the fore-front of the digital era—a Special Operation in branding and design.
First and foremost the logo was redesigned to move the website in line with other UN brands, whilst also bring it on par with other news organisations in the field.
Then came the website redesign and build. Initially Africa Renewal was rebuilt as a static HTML site, with a completely reworked information architecture and repurposing from simple online magazine to Africa-wide news portal, utilising the latest in jQuery, RSS, stunning photography and immaculate typography.
In stage 2 of the rebuild, the website was converted into the Drupal Content Management System, automating every single aspect of the portal, and incalculably increasing its potential and power.
Rebuild complete and mission accomplished, with SEO tweaking and design finessing traffic to the website immediately doubled, and another happy client received the Special Operations special treatment.

Updated @ 6 p.m.
A San Diego policeman hit by a car driven by a suspected drunken driver and trapped inside his patrol vehicle early Sunday morning was in serious condition in a hospital following surgery.
"The officer had multiple major injuries including broken bones and internal injuries but is expected to survive," said San Diego Police Lt. Dan Plein. "I expect it will be a very long, slow recovery." The unidentified officer was trapped for 45 minutes in the wreckage of his patrol car until extracted by firefighters, who cut through the crumpled car's roof to reach him, a process that took about 45 minutes.
Sheriff's Lt. Scott Amos said the crash was about 2 a.m.
"The SDPD officer had just dropped off a prisoner at Las Colinas Women's Detention Facility and was on Mission Gorge Road when he got T-boned by another driver who had exited northbound State Route 125," Amos said.
"The suspect's car didn't stop at a red light and came right through the intersection," Plein said.
The suspect was arrested for suspicion of drunken driving, and his identity was being withheld.

Doom3 for those with little or no PC!Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 4th of February 2005 08:04:01 PM Filed under
Here's a story on a board game based on and entitled Doom: The Board Game. This is apparently not breaking news, but I just heard about and got a chuckle over it a few days ago. But hey, I think it might make a neato gift for those diehard doom series lovers, or those who wished they could have played doom3 but couldn't swing the hardware upgrade! Get yours here!
More BS from the Evil One.Submitted by srlinuxx on Friday 4th of February 2005 07:56:15 PM Filed under
Seems Mr. Gates is at it again with saying one thing while trying to cleverly conceal his jabs at Linux. This time speaking of interoperability amongst differing architectures while stating that doesn't mean open source as open source is detrimental to interoperability. Does that seem backwards to anyone else besides me? This is posted all over the net, but here's one reference at Betanews.

Oswego East's CJ Vaughan, left, brings the ball up court against Romeoville's Jimmy Moon during their game at Oswego East High School on Tuesday, February 5, 2013. | Brian Powers~Sun-Times Media
Isn't he grand?
Yes, and then some.
Oswego East senior CJ Vaughan hit the 1,000-point mark in his career Tuesday in a win over Romeoville. The 6-foot-1 guard had his usual strong all-around game, making 10-of-16 shots from the floor, including 5-for-7 from beyond the three-point line and all five free throws to go with four rebounds.
The third-year varsity player has had the lead role for coach Ron Murphy's Wolves, who have bounced back from an 0-7 start and are hovering near the .500 mark.
"I knew deep down we weren't as bad as we started," Vaughan said. "We only had two guys with real good varsity experience. We weren't well-disciplined and couldn't hold leads at the end of close games. We learned, though, and are winning some of those."
Vaughan, too, has learned since being promoted to the varsity as a sophomore by former coach Jason Buckley and his assistant (Murphy).
"I was strictly a shooter. I'd stand on the perimeter and shoot, but as the years have gone on, I've been working on putting the ball on the floor," Vaughan said.
"That's because at the next level, at my height, you just can't shoot the ball. They'll get somebody that's 6-5 to do that, so you have to bring other things."
Interesting Vaughan would choose 6-5. Maybe it's because his dad, Clive, who played collegiately at the University of Pittsburgh and professionally in England, stands that tall.
Also a former collegiate assistant coach, Clive Vaughan's connections have helped CJ land the opportunity of a lifetime this summer that figures to help him enhance his game even further.
The elder Vaughan was born in England, so his son is able to play internationally under a British passport. Clive Vaughan is a former English teammate of Steve Bucknell, a former North Carolina Tar Heel and Los Angeles Laker player, who currently coaches Britain's 18-and-under National team.
After checking CJ out on film, Bucknell has invited him to join the team this summer after his Oswego East graduation.
"He'll fly to London, train with the team and then they go to Italy and Belgium to play some games before going on to Latvia in July (16-29) to play in the FIBA World Championships," Clive Vaughan said. "Since 2000, every MVP of that tournament has gone on to play in the NBA, so he'll be facing some of the top young players in Europe."
It's all part of the process for the younger Vaughan, who has focused on improving his ballhandling, defense and rebounding the past two years.
It showed recently in a game in which he struggled against Batavia. CJ had an off night shooting, making just 2-of-14 from the floor, but still had a positive impact on the win.
"In the second half I tried to change things up and not only shoot the ball but take it to the hoop, drive and pick up contact so maybe I can get to the free throw line," the youngster said.
The result?
He hit his season average of 16 points by making 11-of-12 free throws in the win.
"He also had seven rebounds, three assists and four steals," Murphy said.
"That's the stuff I love. He contributes in other ways, and sometimes that's lost on people."
CJ will likely play next fall at a prep school before moving on to college.
"He's playing well but that experience would really help him," his dad said. "I'm really hard on him, probably because I've played and coached. He's really improved his mental game."
CJ says his home-schooling has helped.
"I think I have a good (basketball) IQ, but he's helped me improve it," the son said. "Most guys, when they watch basketball watch people cross somebody over or dunk, but (Clive) will break down the film. Sometimes we don't even watch the ball. We may watch someone I try to take after and check out how they try to get open or moves they make I can try to bring to my game. Stuff like that."
Good stuff, indeed.

text: Sarah Snook Print Email Email to a friend Your email Your name Friend's email Friend's name Verification (type the code in the image) Generate New Image Close Related Articles media release Tuesday 22 December, 2009 GRIFFIN THEATRE COMPANY: Sarah Snook is appearing in Crestfall by Mark O'Rowe opens in the first week of January and runs 7-30 January. Sarah Snook is an actress who graduated from NIDA in 2008. She performed in The Shape of Thingsand Love for Love in her third year, as well as the collaboration with the STC Ensemble for Gallipoli. Since then she has performed in DNA for the Old Fitz and played Cordelia and The Fool in King Lear, for the State Theatre Company (SA). In March she will be appearing on the Griffin Stage again as May in S-27. What did you want to be when you grew up? An actor or a teacher. More an actor just to copy my older sisters. What did you become? An actor? What's your official title? Ms Sarah R Snook…at least that's what my credit card says. What's your background - how did you end up here? I was finishing year 12 and during my exams thought I'd do the NIDA auditions with my friend. Didn't get in, but was put on first reserve. Two weeks til term started, someone dropped out and I got on a plane. How would you describe your work to a complete stranger? I have a degree in pretending to be other people. I'm either an actor or a spy…. What's the first thing career related you usually do each day? Think I need to clean my room to "clear my head space." Can you describe an "average" working day for you? Get up, bus to the theatre, work on scenes. Discuss audience response, what they need to know, how we can make that happen. Go home, walk the dog, learn lines. Who or what in the arts world most inspires you? People in the New York theatre world of the 1940s to 50s. They were incredible. A community dedicated to the theatre, to a theatre that was inspiring and affordable (when you had job). "Shall we buy an ironing board, or go to the theatre 3 times this week?" We all know it's tough but we can help each other and make it work. What's the toughest challenge you've dealt with on the job? Self doubt. What's the best piece of advice you were ever given for your career? "Do what you want, regardless of the risk". The problem is being honest about what you want. What are the top three skills you need in your particular role? Well….My character's a nymphomaniac, so I spose flexibility?...Confidence, sass, and a mercurial depth. What's the best thing about your job? It doesn't feel like one. And the worst? When it does… No, when you let yourself get in the way of yourself too often. And if you had to sum your working life in a word or phrase, what would it be? Often enough to call yourself an actor, infrequent enough to be a waitress as well. ************ Sarah Snook is appearing in Crestfall by Mark O'Rowe opens in the first week of January and runs 7 – 30 January.

Goshen News
---- — DEAR SHERIFF: Do officers have a right to stop/detain me merely because I openly carry a firearm? Can they ask me to display my handgun carry license? Do I need to carry my handgun license with me when I carry?
ANSWER: In a prior column I addressed the issue of open carry and concealed carry, all of which is legal in Indiana with a handgun license. My preference is concealed carry for tactical and practical reasons. While concealed, you tip your hand when you decide, not when someone observes your firearm and forces you to take action on their terms. In addition, many people seem to be disturbed by those who open carry a firearm. This may lead a business or person calling the police to report a "suspicious person with a firearm."
For those of you who open carry, or someone observes your concealed firearm and they report it to police, at least in Elkhart County, the sheriff/chiefs/state police and prosecutor have all agreed to be consistent in stopping, detaining or asking for a handgun license in accordance to law and the Constitution.
In short, if the carrying of the firearm is the only focus, then an officer does not have a right to stop or detain you, nor ask for your handgun license. However, this does not mean that the officer cannot approach you and engage in conversation with you. This does not mean you are being detained unless the officer says so or keeps you from leaving.
Police get suspicious persons calls all the time and need to determine from the caller or situation what exactly is occurring and whether a crime is being committed or about to be committed. It makes sense that an officer would speak to the person carrying the firearm. If someone starts shooting up a place after a suspicious person was reported but the officers did nothing, then the public would be critical of the police for not investigating.
If the person carrying the firearm was threatening, waiving the gun around, harassing, trespassing, causing a disturbance, or otherwise breaking the law, the officer can detain you and may inquire about your firearm and whether you may be legally carrying. See my article on Nov. 22 about "stop and frisk." If probable cause exists that you have committed a crime, the officer can arrest you.
Keep in mind, even if you have not broken the law, a businessperson may desire you to leave because you are carrying a firearm and may request the officer to ask you to leave. In this case, it is a trespass issue, not a firearm issue. The officer will give you the opportunity to leave. If you refuse to leave, the officer can now arrest you for trespassing.
As always, the street is not the place to argue with an officer. If you believe that an officer acted inappropriately whether in attitude or legally, then you should contact the officer's agency and speak to a supervisor, filing a complaint if you desire.
As for your handgun license, the law does not require you to carry your license on you while carrying a handgun.
Ask-the-Sheriff a question by emailing Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The press release is from the JCC of the Greater Five Towns. It has been edited by Patch.
The JCC of the Greater Five Towns and the Lawrence Yacht and Country Club have teamed up for a new golf program with a goal of promoting a sense of accomplishmment and boosting the self esteem of children and young adults with special needs.
The Play Golf Program was recently introduced by the JCC, with support from the Sports for Youth Initiative of UJA-Federation of New York and the golf pros and volunteers at the Lawrence Yacht and Country Club. The program allows children and young adults with physical, intellectual, sensory and developmental disabilities to learn the physical and social components of golf while also having fun.
"We are greatly appreciative of the pros and volunteers from the Lawrence Yacht and Country Club taking their time and lending their expertise to make this program such a huge success," said David Weingarten of the JCC of the Greater Five Towns. "And judging from the smiles on the children's faces, they too, were thankful."
The program teed off on Sept. 23 at the Lawrence club's driving range and will continue with three more sessions spread on Sundays in October and eight more scheduled for the spring of 2013.
Peter Procops, head PGA professional at the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club, and Assistant Pro Jeff Calais led the group lesson teaching 10 young adults whose disabilities range from autism to Down Syndrome. The program included warm-up, swing instruction and hitting balls as well as putting instruction and a putting competition.
"Play Golf is an important program that builds self confidence and provides a wonderful social outlet for our teenaged special needs population," said Rina Shkolnik, executive director of the JCC of the Greater Five Towns.
The Play Golf Program is among a number of specialized social and recreational programs designed for special needs children, teens and young adults sponsored by the JCC of the Greater Five Towns. Other participatory programs include the "Field of Dreams" soccer program and Camp Friendship, a summer day camp. The JCC has a broad range of educational, recreational and social enrichment services to help improve the quality of life of children, adolescents and adults with special needs. Support services for family members are also available. For more information about these programs and services, call Gayle Fremed, Director of the Special Needs Division at 516-569-6733, extension 211, or visit http://www.fivetownsjcc.org.

Fresh and light but teeters on the edge of blandness. Marinate the shrimp first and season the dish well.
I really enjoyed this recipe. Very light and fresh. I doubled the garlic and added some red pepper flakes. Remember to add some salt and pepper! :)
The SigO and I agreed this was a little bland. It was a good start but - for our tastes - was missing something. But it was quick and easy to make - we need recipes like that in our busy lives. The next day I reheated the leftovers in a skillet - adding this time some butter, a much bigger dose of chili oil, some cayenne and a few more shakes (didn't have fresh) basil. I loved it the second go-around. This is a keeper, thanks, but next time I think I will really kick up the heat.

By BRADEN LAMMERS
JEFFERSONVILLE — She survived the Henryville tornado with little more than a scratch, but the aftermath of the storm cost her all of her limbs and nearly took her life.
Louella Aker, 66, and a former Henryville resident, gave a tour of her new home with her dog Truman following closely behind. Aker recently moved into the Aberdeen Woods home after enduring a year spent in a coma, physical rehabilitation and an assisted living facility.
Aberdeen Woods is a 20-unit affordable housing community developed by New Hope Services Inc., in Jeffersonville, mostly geared toward seniors. Aker recently moved in to the home which, with assistance from March2Recovery, has been modified to accommodate her.
Moving into the new home has given Aker — a quadruple amputee — back her independence after she had been given a 10 percent chance to live.
Originally from Clarksville, Aker had lived in Henryville for 22 years when tornadoes tore through the northern part of Clark County on March 2, 2012.
The single mother raised her five now-grown children in the community, but in March 2012 her daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter were still living with her.
Aker — who was an assistant manager at the Family Dollar in Henryville that was within walking distance to her home — was scheduled to work in the afternoon that day. She heard the early reports of the severe weather and as the day passed, the family kept gathering on the porch to see what was headed toward the small town.
"I kept telling my son-in-law and my daughter, it's going to be nothing," Aker said. "I said, 'it's going to blow over to Salem.' They always blow over to Salem."
As it got closer to the time when Aker was supposed to go to work, she said for some reason she didn't get ready.
"I'm not sure why, but I didn't," she said.
As the weather reports continued to roll in, she called the store to make sure the employees knew what was happening. As the storm barreled toward the town, Aker and her son-in-law saw the funnel cloud.
"When you see them on TV, they're always white," she said. "This was the dirtiest funnel cloud I had ever seen. I mean, it was just black. When I heard it roar — and it truly does roar like a freight train — I had never heard that before, it was frightening. We all hit the basement."
Aker and her family rode out the storm, then came outside to assess the damage the tornado had caused.
"Where the tornado went through and the trees were just broken, it looked like somebody had taken a bulldozer to build a new highway through there," Aker said.
Her attention turned to work, where she was scheduled to be about the time the tornado hit the town that afternoon.
"My immediate thought then, I knew my kids were all right, the grandkids were all right, my immediate thought was the store. I've got to get up to the store," she said.
She said she made it to the store just before a hailstorm that followed the tornado. Despite being damaged, people flocked into the Dollar General looking for flashlights, blankets and water. The employees began piling up goods and carting them to St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church, which became an immediate gathering place for tornado victims and first responders. Aker repeated the trek from the store to the church the rest of the night and didn't leave until about 1 a.m., when someone boarded up the Dollar General.
When she finally left, she was in a state of shock.
"I was just really in a daze," Aker said. "I had never seen anything so horrible and so frightening. You just wanted to sit and cry. You wanted to cry because the school your children went to was not going to be the school your grandchildren went to, and you know the places that you knew so well were gone, and maybe the people were not going to rebuild and come back and it was your community.
"It was the toughest thing I had ever gone through. It really was."
At the same time that she saw the destruction of her community, Aker saw residents come together, and like so many, she went to help her neighbors who were worse off than her.
"I couldn't stay away, but I couldn't stay at home," Aker said. "We saw the best of humankind. I didn't know there were so many people that could care so much for people they didn't even know."
At that point, Aker didn't know it would be someone else who had been the victim of the tornado that would help her regain her independence after going through a fight for her life.
Aker said she started feeling sick toward the end of March 2012.
She remembered the physical downturn because it was shortly before her nephew's wedding that she was so excited to attend. But as the weekend grew near, Aker felt worse and worse.
Aker's daughter tried to nurse her through the illness and took her temperature, which read 104 degrees. Aker dismissed it and said the thermometer must be broken, took some Tylenol and went to bed. She missed the wedding, and the day after, having still not improved, her daughter told Aker it was time to go to Scott Memorial Hospital.
"Truly, we were just thinking flu," Aker said. "I sat in one of the little plastic chairs [in the emergency room] and that is the last I remember of anything."
Aker slipped into a coma.
From Scott Memorial Hospital, Aker was transferred to Clark Memorial Hospital. She was there for a month when doctors told her family that they wanted to do exploratory surgery.
"I had these horrible things all up and down my legs and arms, they were these huge blisters," Aker said.
The family agreed to the procedure, but doctors found nothing. After the surgery, Aker remained at Clark Memorial Hospital for another three to four weeks before she was transferred to Jewish Hospital in Louisville. She remained there for another few weeks before she finally awoke from her coma.
"Both of my arms and both of my legs looked like I had been put on a charcoal grill," Aker said. "They were just black and crispy. From that point on, it was doctors and more doctors."
Eventually, Aker was told they would have to amputate her legs and arms. The surgeries to remove her limbs took place individually, each about three days apart. No definitive diagnosis was given as to what caused the damage to her limbs, but doctors believed it may have been a bacterial infection.
"They seemed to think it could have been some type of bacteria that was picked up because this tornado was so large, and came so far, and picked up so much stuff, but there was really no way to tell," Aker said.
Similar mysterious cases of bacterial infections were reported in the wake of other natural disasters, including a tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., in 2011. According to the Joplin Globe, 13 people were diagnosed with a fungal infection in the wake of the tornado. Five of the 13 people who were infected with the bacteria died.
The fungus — apophysomyces trapeziformis — grows in soil, water and wood, and is harmless to humans unless it penetrates the skin. When it does penetrate the skin, it enters the capillaries and cuts off the blood flow to tissue, killing large areas of tissue, according to the report.
A team with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention identified the Joplin cases as mucormycosis, an infection that results from the fungus. Those with diabetes or cancer are at an increased risk for the infection. Aker is a breast cancer survivor.
But doctors could still not definitively say what caused Aker's illness.
After the surgeries, Aker began the rehabilitation process that lasted nearly a year, first at Frazier Rehab Institute in Louisville, then at Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation in Sellersburg.
She was fitted for prosthetic limbs at Frazier Rehab before she was moved to the long-term facility in Sellersburg. And during her rehabilitation, Aker discovered several things about herself.
"I learned television was not my cup of tea," Aker said with a laugh. "I could not watch TV for the rest of my life. I wanted to be back on my own."
When asked by a doctor what her motivation was, Aker said she really wasn't sure.
"The only thing I could think of was I was so active to begin with that I was going to be as active as I could be," she said. "I was not going to be wheelchair-bound."
Maybe the motivation was an embodiment of Henryville after the tornado.
"We had help from a lot of people, but the entire community was very strong," Aker said of the town. "Everybody who came through it, came through it stronger. And I think they came through with an appreciation of the human spirit.
"I think if people are going through a rough time, it really doesn't help to say, 'well, my time is tougher than yours.' The only thing I would say is have faith. Things usually, maybe, don't work out the way you want them to, but they work out. You may end on a different path. I truthfully thought I would live in Henryville the rest of my life. It's where I thought I would be."
It may also have been the desire to reclaim her former life and to watch her family continue to grow.
"I wanted them to think, 'granny might have different arms and legs, but she can still play with us,'" Aker said of her grandkids.
However, she admitted she was not immune to the depression that comes with such a traumatic experience.
"I still have low points, I try not to," Aker said. "I think I always knew I was going to walk," she added very matter-of-fact.
While she allowed herself time to be upset, she didn't let it last for long. She said one day during her rehab at Frazier she cried from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and told her doctor she wasn't going to be doing anything that day. But she added she put limits on how much pity she could have for herself.
"I told him, 'I'm crying today and this is all I'm going to do today,'" she said. "I said, 'Tomorrow I'll be better. I promise you I'll get up and work hard tomorrow.'"
Aker has picked herself back up. She said she still scares her kids when she falls walking with the prosthetics, but she's learned how to do it so she doesn't get hurt. And while she said that she has slowed down, she hasn't stopped.
"Everything was a reminder that my life is different now," Aker said. "It's something you never think will happen to you and you just pick up and go on."
As Aker was wrapping up her rehabilitation, she said she received some help from Stephanie Decker, who was also a victim of the Henryville tornado.
Decker had both her legs amputated after her home came crumbling down on top of her during the tornado. But Decker, who helped Aker through her recovery, also put her in touch with the volunteers with March2Recovery.
While the long-term recovery organization told Aker it wasn't feasible to build a new home in Henryville, the group was able, along with New Hope, to find a home in Jeffersonville. The home in Aberdeen Woods was specially modified to accommodate Aker.
"March2Recovery helped to pay for adaptations to the home," said Carolyn King, the nonprofit's executive director. "By the time she was out of rehab, we were about finished with this, so we could work it so she could move right in to a new place."
The modifications included lowering the stove, widening doors, installing tile floors throughout and modifying the bathroom in the single-story home. Grace Lutheran Church in New Albany also helped Aker with some specialized furniture and appliances for her house. She said she received help from many others to regain the biggest gift she would receive — her independence.
"When I first woke up, I immediately wondered how I would do anything," Aker said. "I had my own house, had a garden, raised chickens ... I saw all of that slipping away and I wondered if the rest of my life would be in a nursing home in a wheelchair.
"I just did not ever think I would see this again. To raise my kids and have my grandkids stay with me, and to see myself getting back to that stage is just miraculous, it really is."
Aker goes on a mile walk each day, has met most of her neighbors and walks Truman regularly. But the best part of regaining her independence is having her grandchildren in her home.
"Being in that kind of facility kind of scared them," Aker said of the rehabilitation centers. "They are no longer scared — they play around here just like they did before I got sick. It's just been wonderful. I can sit and watch them with a big grin on my face."
Aker said she's not finished. Her next goal is to be able to drive a car again. Then, to get a job.
"I would like to work again," Aker said. "I feel like I need to be busy and needed; I need to do something. I don't know whether [it's] something to give back or just something to help other people, I think I'll be able to do that. I really do."

Note: I don't follow the draft as closely as others, but I figured I'd give it a shot. I'm not a scout, so I figured I'd post a few excerpts from actual scouts on these players.
Also, I did a full, 97 pick mock draft, selecting fairly for every team. Every pick was who I felt was the best available player combined with the 49ers' needs. I did not simply make the 5 picks the 49ers have based on who I thought would be available as others do, so I apologize if I didn't select your 5 draft crushes lol.
If you have any players you think I might have overlooked (you think would be available), please throw them out there and I'd love to have the discussion.
1st Round
#31- Jonathan Cyprien, S, FIU
Safety is obviously the 49ers biggest need in this draft (unless they add someone in FA in the next 30 days) and Cyprien is the 2nd best one in this class. Very hard hitter, sound tackler, and most importantly, plays very smart. Doesn't have the athleticism of Vaccaro (who I'd trade up for), but is solid all-around. The next best player/fit on my board was Logan Ryan, CB.
Possesses enough speed and athleticism to cover ground as a zone defender in the back half and line up against slot receivers inside. Closes on stretch runs and quick throws to outside receivers even when playing well back from the line. Beats receiver blocks with quickness or strength. His secure tackling in those situations is also notable, as he brings some attitude into his attempts unlike other defensive backs in this class. Used as a blitzer on run and pass plays, can overpower running back blocks.
Aggressive in coverage, he can be sucked up by play action and will jump underneath routes, allowing plays over the top. Lacks elite change of direction and quickness in man coverage, and does not recover like a corner if beaten by a quick move off the line or in space.
2nd Round
#34- Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford
I couldn't resist when he was still available. Every position now has a starter, and I would be perfectly fine with taking a TE later in the 2nd or 3rd, but Ertz was my best player available. The combination of him and Vernon Davis is a scary thought for opposing defenses. As a receiver, the Jason Witten comparison is fitting. He's not much of a blocker, but has the size and athleticism (and knowledge of the 49ers offense) to become a good one. The next best player/fit on my board was Justin Hunter, WR
Smooth athlete with good route quickness to create some separation and sneaky speed to get behind the defense. Tough with the ball in his hands and isn't afraid to deliver hits, lowering his pads and finishing runs. Not afraid to get physical as a blocker and gives good effort in this area, always looking for someone to block downfield. Tracks the ball well and does a nice job adjusting his frame to make the tough catch, extending and plucking. Does a nice job selling his patterns, getting good depth in his routes and immediately looking for the ball out of his breaks. Nice job deceiving defenders and finding soft spots in coverage to make something happen after the catch.
Inconsistent in-line blocker, can get after his man but also loses the leverage battle and gets pushed back too easily. Misses second-level blocks when lunging at targets instead of getting position. Nice job adding bulk to his frame, but needs to continue to develop his strength to sustain blocks at the line of scrimmage.
#61- Brandon Williams, DT, Missouri Southern St.
Same pick as last time. Very large DT with some versatility- played both the 5-tech and NT in college. Excellent athleticism for someone his size (341 lbs). Not sure if he can play anything other than nose tackle, but he was the best player available on my board. I'm not sure Brandon Albert is the long term solution at NT. The next best available player/fit on my board was Quinton Patton, WR
Presents a low center of gravity and strong upper body to push consistently push man-up blockers into the backfield. Gets hands on his man fast, extends his arm to get leverage and can hold his ground. Uses his hands to swim or rip past blockers into the backfield. Also wins gaps by attacking a shoulder or out-quicking his man with a first step. Moves down the line adeptly while engaged to flow with plays.
Doesn't make a lot of plays outside the box because of average effort and closing speed. Inconsistent at finding the ball, lowers his head at times trying to win gaps, allowing himself to get ridden out of plays. Slow to spin off blocks, and double-teams can move him
3rd Round
#74- Markus Wheaton, WR, Oregon St.
Fell a bit this time in my mock based on teams filling their WR need (Dolphins, Seahawks, Vikings). Not a big receiver (5"11, 189), but a receiver I really like. Outstanding quickness and speed, can be used in multiple ways (screens, end-arounds, etc) and would be the perfect complement to Crabtree. NFL.com comparison is Antonio Brown, and I see it.
His quickness is blatant and dangerous. Whether taking off from the slot or outside, his feet are literally a step ahead of his defender on everything from speed outs, crossers, to jerk routes. Displays the flexibility to grab throws behind him or over his shoulder when running deep. He'll also extend away from his body to bring in high or wide throws, and will stutter on the sideline to ensure he makes the catch in-bounds.
Too often he will let the ball into his frame as opposed to attacking it. Will round off deeper pattern that consist of him coming back to the quarterback. Can be overwhelmed by physical corners in his route, and especially at the line of scrimmage. Inconsistent as a blocker. Willing, but too often will fall off his block, or allow his man to simply overpower him.
#93- Brandon Jenkins, OLB, FSU
He's a top 40 player in this draft if not for the season ending injury that hasn't seemed to fully heal yet. He looked like a 1st round pick when healthy, so this is the kind of risk I don't mind the 49ers taking. According to NFL.com, the draft advisory committee told him he wouldn't be any lower than 2nd round pick, but he falls a bit with the injury still not fully healed (I'm basing that on his pro day performance). Would likely be nothing more than a rotational pass rusher, but the Seahawks took one of those in the 1st round last year.
Possesses very good initial quickness, eats up grass with long strides, and has the flexibility to turn the corner as a pass rusher. Has length and upper-body strength to rip off blocks and throw quarterbacks and running backs to the ground. Also displays the power to get lesser linemen on their heels. Not contact-shy playing the run, will stick his shoulder to keep leverage against single blocker and double teams to hold the line.
Suffered a Lisfranc injury in his left foot in 2012 opener, could redshirt. Pops up out of his stance off the snap, losing his momentum as an edge rusher. Hustle to chase plays is inconsistent. Change of direction skills are only adequate, fails to prevent backs from getting the sideline on plays to his size and break down when one-on-one in space against NFL-caliber ball-carriers. Owns a spin move but relies on outside rush too often, allowing tackles to take him out of plays.
Reminder: I'm not a scout and I probably don't follow the draft as much as others, but I appreciate any feedback and/or constructive criticism. All scouting reports from ESPN/NFL.com

Former BBC head of light entertainment and controller of BBC1, Sir Bill Cotton oversaw some of the Corporation's most enduring shows of the seventies, including Dad's Army, Morecambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies and Monty Python's Flying Circus.
He later became the BBC's managing director of television, before retiring in 1988.
David Croft, writer of Dad's Army, described Cotton as the "master jeweller" in the "golden age" of television.
The son of the wartime bandleader Billy Cotton, William Frederick Cotton was born in London on April 23, 1928. He was educated at Ardingley College in Sussex and did his National Service in the Army, where he was commissioned in the Royal Army Service Corps. He went on to work as a song plugger for Noel Gay and then became joint managing director of the Michael Reine Music Company.
He joined the BBC in 1956 as an in-house producer of light entertainment programmes, working on shows such as the Billy Cotton Band Show and the cult pop series Six Five Special. He was the BBC's head of light entertainment between 1970-7 and introduced new programmes including The Generation Game, hosted by Bruce Forsyth. He was also instrumental in pairing Ronnie Barker with Ronnie Corbett and in launching Michael Parkinson as a talk show host.
Speaking in 2000, Cotton said light entertainment on television had formed part of the nation's culture: "Basically, fundamentally, television was a performer's medium and news and current affairs were the sideshow," he said. "One of the reasons I honestly believe that the care taken on light entertainment had to be the same care as was taken for ballet, opera or serious drama, is because you are contributing to the culture of the country. I think it's sad if it isn't."
Cotton stepped down from the BBC in 1988 on reaching 60. After his retirment he became chairman of Noel Gay Television and of the ITV company Meridian. For ten years he acted as an agent for the broadcaster Sue Lawley.
He had a long association with BBC Enterprises and was chairman of the Royal Television Society. He was awarded the Academy Fellowship by Bafta in 1998. He was appointed OBE in 1976, CBE in 1989 and was knighted in 2001.
Mark Thompson, director-general of the BBC, paid tribute: "Sir Bill was one of the giants of BBC television. He brought countless programmes to the screen which themselves became legends. He was both a great impresario and also a passionate believer in public service broadcasting."
Bruce Forsyth said: "Bill knew how to treat performers. He knew how to talk to them, how to get them to do things, even if they didn't want to. He talked them into it because he knew it would be good for them."
Bill Cotton died on August 11, aged 80, in a hospital in Bournemouth. He had three daughters by his first marriage to Bernadine Sinclair, who died in 1964. He second marriage to Ann Henderson was dissolved and he married Kathryn Burgess in 1990.
