Injured toe doesn't slow down Youkilis
Red Sox infielder remains in lineup one night after getting hurt
NEW YORK -- Kevin Youkilis has the favorable combination of recovering quick from injuries and having the willingness to play through pain. Both of those traits allowed the invaluable corner infielder to return to the lineup for Thursday night's game against the Yankees, just one day after he hammered a foul ball off of his left big toe.
With Mike Lowell already on the disabled list, the Red Sox could ill-afford to lose Youkilis, even for a minimal amount of time. Youkilis, who left Wednesday's game a couple of innings after striking the foul ball, will again take Lowell's fifth-spot in the batting order and at third base on Thursday.
"It was sore," said Youkilis. "But as long as I could put on a shoe and be able to stand on my toes, that's all that matters."
Youkilis said that the injury to Lowell did not necessarily speed up his recovery.
"I was going to play if I felt good," Youkilis said. "It's not painful when I walk. It's just sore. I've done it before. I broke a toe. I'll be fine."
Unbeknownst to just about anybody, Youkilis broke his toe during Spring Training of 2005 and was back playing again in a matter of days.
"It was off of Derek lowe in Vero Beach, [Fla.]," Youkilis said. "I was trying to make the team."
Those days are long over for Youkilis, who is now a vital member of the Boston lineup.
Before Thursday's game, a New York writer asked Red Sox manager Terry Francona how much the versatility of Youkilis helps the Red Sox.
"Like you can't believe," Francona said. "He wins a Gold Glove at first, he goes to third and he plays a Major League-caliber third base. You can hit him anywhere in the lineup. He works the count. He really has turned into a very good Major League player. It is appreciated.
"And you don't have to run and check with him every day. You just kind of throw his name in and he handles it. The one thing he really doesn't like doing is leading off. So he doesn't do that. Other than that, he just goes about his business."
Per usual, Youkilis is off to a fast start. He entered Thursday's game hitting .368 with 11 RBIs and a .433 on-base percentage. Youkilis is confident the injury won't impact his play.
"I'll play my normal game," said Youkilis. "I'll play hard and if I'm a step slower, I don't know. We'll see when we get out there. It's not anything on my mind. I'm just going to play the game."
When Youkilis woke up on Thursday, what was on his mind was playing. And he shared that with Francona.
"I called him and told him just to put me in the lineup or I'll be annoying him all game," Youkilis said.
Francona was happy to oblige.
"That was good news," Francona said. "You know if a guy has that good an outlook at 10 or 11 in the morning and he's laughing about it, he's probably feeling a little bit better than expected, so that was good. Real good. I was kind of apprehensive last night that he was going to wake up really feeling it."

OAKLAND — Billy Beane has the perfect solution for his Oakland Athletics to advance in the playoffs, to get past Justin Verlander and the Detroit Tigers.
Clone Verlander and put him in green and gold.
The A's realize they let a great chance to win the AL division series get away in Game 4 at Comerica Park. That sent them back to the Oakland Coliseum to face Verlander once more in Game 5.
Oakland A's vs. Detroit Tigers ALDS Game 5
Verlander pitched another gem and carried a no-hitter into the seventh inning during a 3-0 win, not much different from his four-hit, 6-0 shutout here 364 days earlier to end the A's season.
"Short of cloning our own Verlander and having him on Game 5 to go toe to toe ... we want to put ourselves in position to have those days and hopefully come out on top, or win Game 4," Beane said.
The Oakland general manager plans to keep his club as close to intact as possible to make another run at the playoffs next year, and that starts with exercising a $7.5 million option for leadoff hitter Coco Crisp.
"Before you ask, it's pretty apparent that we would pick up Coco Crisp's option," he said. "Beyond being one of the GM's personal favorites, he's also been a very good player, and my kids' favorite."
Crisp, who hit a career-best 22 home runs in the leadoff spot, declined to speak to reporters while cleaning out his belongings and saying his clubhouse farewells.
The sting from this year's finish was a little bit stronger considering how the A's won the West this time compared to stunning the Texas Rangers in game No. 162 last year.
"It's hard to sort of rank disappointment in playoffs, they're all disappointing," Beane said. "It's always risky to put the fate of your hands in somebody like Justin Verlander. You'd prefer not to be in that situation. He's one of the best pitchers of his generation, he's proven it to us in Game 5 two years in a row. ... It's like asking which hangover is the worst, the one on New Year's Eve or whenever you decide on another one. They're all bad."

Nina Divuluri is used to a little bit of feedback.
As a pageant participant, the newest Miss America is used to receiving criticism—and as the first Indian-American to be crowned Miss America, she's been subjected to an extraordinary amount of racism and backlash.
Rest assured, plenty of celebrities have taken to Twitter to show their support for the 24-year-old Miss New York. While some shared excitement and others shared disbelief about the racism in the country, all of them stood behind the beauty queen.

people are acting like Matt decided to change the 2WR flex into 3WR Flex...that's not what happened...it was a separate vote that did that, whether it was an option when we were voting for 2WR+Flex vs 3 WR without flex is irrelevant.
Its like saying..."never mind that we voted for 2 WR plus flex.......lets just ignore that and have a completely different vote"
"Phil Simms is the greatest QB in Giants history" ........Mahatma Gandhi
so what you guys are saying is that it should have been a three way vote? 3WR vs 2WR Flex vs 3WR Flex....I suppose it could have been that way but honestly I don't see much of a difference, if enough people wanted 3WR without flex then it would have beaten 2WR+Flex to begin with....it didn't because it wasn't popular enough, 3WR+Flex beat 2WR+Flex because it was more popular...to me the one that was the most popular won why everyone is changing their mind now after the voting is confusing to me.

Elton invited to Barrie and Tony's wedding
Updated 3:38pm Sunday 12th January 2014 in News
BRITAIN'S first gay surrogate parents have announced they will be getting married – and have invited fellow gay dad Elton John to the wedding.
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow and his partner Tony, who run the Maldon-based British Surrogacy Centre, are already civil partners, but have decided to get married after the same-sex marriage bill was passed in July.
Practising Christian Mr Drewitt- Barlow, 44, had hoped to get married in his local church in Danbury and launched a legal challenge in August after he was barred from doing so.
Now, he has turned his back on the plan and instead intends to tie the knot at Pontlands Park hotel, in Great Baddow, on March 29.
Not one to do things out of the limelight, the pair have invited a host of celebrities to the 200-guest wedding, including A-lister Elton, who they know through surrogacy, and singer Ricky Martin.
Former professional footballer Neil "Razor" Ruddock will make an appearance as Tony's best man and the Only Way is Essex stars Amy Childs and Chloe Sims will make up some of the ten bridesmaids.
Barrie has signed a contract with a national magazine preventing him talking to other media.
But Kirsty Maguire, project manager at the British Surrogacy Centre, in Chandlers Quay, Maldon, said: "Invitations were sent out this week and we haven't got all the requests back, so we don't know if Elton John is coming yet.
"Most of the Towie lot have been invited as Barrie and Tony are good friends with them all.
"The wedding will be very pink and very Essex. The preparations are going really well and everyone is very excited."

The only way I can see that they could legally get married on 29 March would be to have their existing civil partnership dissolved - the equivalent of getting divorced - which seems a rather extreme thing to do just so they can have a big party and their pictures in a glossy magazine.

A colorful mountain of milo greets travelers
Travelers along I-90, near Kennebec, the past two months have witnessed the growth of a mountain of milo as Wheat Growers Elevator at Kennebec started piling grain in October.
As of Monday, December 2nd, there is approximately 721,000 bushels of milo on the ground.
The pile, is located on land, next to I-90, leased from GMH of Kennebec. While the pile looks like a extra large quantity of grain, manager Todd Longivlle said it's about the same as last year.
"We have a couple producers still bringing in corn, but I think the milo is done," said Longville.
Dry corn is being piled east of Kennebec near the rail road tracks on property owned by Ronald Moore.
The Kennebec elevator closed Thursday for Thanksgiving day but reopened for the entire weekend to continue accepting grain.
"I hope that was our last weekend!" added Longville.
Normally, the elevator is closed the day after Thanksgiving to allow employees to spend the holiday with family, but this year's harvest has been extra long due to weather delays and a bumper crop.
Longville believes about 99 percent of the fall harvest is finished in the area.
Elevator employees will start picking up the milo and hauling it back to the elevator where it will be run through the dryer before it's stored or shipped out.
"We pretty much have all our contracts filled now," said Longville when asked it they were trucking grain out of the elevator.
Grain prices are doing a little better now than before harvest, according to Longville, but the price remains about half of what it was last year. In 2012 when corn was selling for $7.18 a bushel, Monday it was $3.54 a bushel; milo was $6.82 a bushel last year, and just $3.39 this week at Kennebec.
"Harvest may still be going for some, but it's finally wrapping up," said Longville.

We hate to admit it, but no matter how much we invest in rods, reels and other gear, the triumphant act of actually bringing fish to the boat often depends on the least expensive items on our tackle list: If the hooks don't hold, we lose fish. Hooks can't hold if they don't penetrate a fish's mouth, and sharp hooks assure quick, clean penetration. Get the point?
Hooks from major manufacturers offer reliably adequate sharpness right out of the box; however, ordinary use dulls hooks as they bounce off structure or scrape against hard jawbones. Although we need not sharpen hooks with obsessive-compulsive frequency, checking them periodically will indicate when points need touching up.
Sharpening hooks - or any other cutting tool - requires grinding metal from the edges to form a fine point or blade. "Good sharpeners remove material in an even manner, leave a smooth surface and remain durable," says Bob Kufahl, sales and marketing director for Lansky Sharpeners.
A variety of materials ranging from traditional Arkansas whetstone to industrial-grade diamonds serve as abrasive agents in knife and tool sharpeners, but not all work well as hook hones. For example, Kufahl says tungsten carbide is readily available and inexpensive, but it removes metal quickly and leaves a rough edge. Ceramic sharpeners leave a smooth edge on knife blades but may not prove aggressive enough to renew hooks with just a few strokes.
Despite its higher cost, diamond grit has become popular because it offers excellent abrasive qualities along with durability. "Diamond grit comes in many different grades. Sharpeners usually contain monocrystalline diamond, the most consistent and durable. Lansky's sharp-eners employ fine diamond grit, rated at 600, because it's aggressive enough to remove metal from the hook yet leaves a smooth finish," Kufahl says.
Aluminum oxide (also called alumina) finds favor among hook-hone manufacturers for several reasons. "It makes a great abrasive for quickly touching up dull hooks and is as efficient as diamond but less expensive," says Bob Anthon of GATCO. "Cost represents the major factor in choosing aluminum oxide over diamond grit. Some anglers may not want to spend $15 to $30 for a diamond-coated hook sharpener when an aluminum-oxide hone usually costs less than $10."
Like the hooks they sharpen, hones come in many different shapes and sizes. Each type performs best in certain situations.
In the Groove
Adding a groove to a flat hone allows it to serve double duty for hooks and knives, but many dedicated hook sharpeners also feature one or more grooves. "The V-shaped channel orients the hook and applies cutting edges to two sides of the point," says David James, field promotions manager for Rapala. "Just draw a hook through the groove a few times to touch it up quickly and easily. Our hook sharpeners feature three different-sized grooves to accommodate the hook diameters commonly used by inshore anglers. Side-by-side round files on the Rapala Double-Sided Hook Sharpener form a large channel that accepts the increased wire diameters of big-game hooks."
Grooved sharpeners represent a rapid, foolproof remedy for dull hooks; their disadvantage usually goes unnoticed by fishermen who use them. "The channel only sharpens the two outside edges of a hook. This is more than adequate for most inshore anglers because they typically use hooks with relatively small wire diameters. Also, most of their target species have fairly soft mouths. Additional cutting edges could prove detrimental by creating large holes that hook barbs can easily back out of," James says.
Pen Pals
Inshore anglers, especially kayak fishermen, who must make the most of limited storage space appreciate the pocket-clip convenience of pen-size hones from Berkley, Eze-Lap and other manufacturers. The narrow width of these tools deftly reaches inside the gap to sharpen small hooks, and some models feature grooves for ease of use.
Ever have trouble holding a small hook firmly enough to apply effective strokes with a hone? The engineers at Berkley solved your problem when they designed the Smart Hook Sharpener. Unscrew one end of the pen-like housing to pull out a diamond-grit hone, and grip hooks (up to size 3/0) in the twist-lock vise built into the other end.
Anglers' Choice based its Toothbrush sharpener on another familiar, compact format that offers easy handling and a proven ability to get to hard-to-reach places. Anglers who really feel cramped for space can piggyback an Orvis Adhesive Hook Sharpener onto any flat metal or plastic surface, such as line clippers.
File When Ready
Sharpening large, thick-wire hooks like those used for marlin requires special hardware. These files - whether steel or diamond grit - have the teeth to remove metal aggressively and recondition points without wasting time.
"While inshore fishermen can sharpen hooks' outer edges with grooved hones, big-game anglers often need to add two inside cutting edges to their hook points to gain maximum cutting advantage when trying to penetrate a tough, bony fish mouth with heavy-wire hooks," James says. "Use a flat file like the Luhr Jensen Hook File to create these inside edges. The Rapala Double-Sided Hook Sharpener is designed to work on large hooks. One side has a channel for consistently sharpening the outside edges, and the flat side is perfect for adding those inside edges."
Electric Edge
Battery-operated sharpeners offer ultimate speed and convenience for putting the sting back in your hooks. Berkley says its Pocket Hook Sharpener will hone up to 1,000 hooks (size 6 to 10/0) on a pair of AA batteries.
Rapala's Electric Hook Sharpener/Jig Buster not only sharpens hooks, it helps prevent their becoming dull in the first place. The pointed tip cleans paint out of jig eyes, so you won't feel tempted to employ hooks for that task.
Anybody who needs to sharpen hooks in quantity should consider the Point Maker from Texas Tackle. Designed specifically for this purpose, the bench-top grinding wheel runs on 115-volt AC or 12-volt DC and contains gears that keep it from turning too fast and overheating hooks.
When shopping for a sharpener, remember that one size rarely fits all. "Choose a hone that works for the hooks you most commonly use, and select a design that suits your technical ability," James advises. "Using a great hone incorrectly can do a hook more harm than good. Hones with channels are the easiest to use, flat files the most difficult."

FRIDAY, Sept. 6 (HealthDay News) -- Beside enjoying better eyesight, people who undergo cataract surgery may see another advantage: Those with cataract-related vision loss who have surgery to improve their sight have a lower risk of death than those who don't, a new study suggests.
Researchers looked at 354 people, 49 and older, in Australia with cataract-related vision loss who underwent an initial assessment between 1992 and 2007 and had follow-up visits five and 10 years after the first exam.
Those who'd had cataract surgery had a 40 percent lower long-term risk of death than those who did not have surgery, according to the study published in the September issue of the journal Ophthalmology.
Previous studies have suggested that older people with cataract-related vision loss had a higher risk of death than people the same age with normal vision, and that cataract surgery might reduce this risk.
"Our finding complements the previously documented associations between visual impairment and increased mortality among older persons," study co-leader Jie Jin Wang, of the Westmead Millennium Institute, said in a journal news release. "It suggests to ophthalmologists that correcting cataract patients' visual impairment in their daily practice results in improved outcomes beyond that of the eye and vision, and has important impacts on general health."
The reasons why cataract surgery may reduce death risk aren't clear, but may be due to factors such as better physical and emotional well-being, an improved ability to comply with prescription medications and greater confidence associated with independent living.
While the study found an association between having cataract surgery and lower death risk for those with cataract-related vision loss, it did not establish a cause-and-effect relationship.
Wang noted that some people may have had other health problems that prevented them from having cataract surgery and these other health problems could explain why people who did not have cataract surgery had a higher death risk.
Cataract is a leading cause of visual loss and affects more than half of Americans by the time they are 80 years old, according to the news release.

The Skinny!
This is another new addition to the left side of Creekside, or as I like to call it the "binge side."
This is essentially a harder, and more direct version of Rumpleminze. It is convenient to climb Rumpleminze and hang the draws on 100 Proof on your way down. This is also a more classic way to access the roof routes above.

This route is located in between Rumpleminze and the regular start to Brennivin. Approach via Shenanigans, or wade across the creek in low water.

The Short List
Did You Know?
It's Every DayRecovering from a foot injury, Resor was in Lake Placid training with the national hockey team before the team went to Sweden. Thinking she was only there to train and help the team prepare for the World Championships, Resor didn't bring along her passport. Called into coach Ben Smith's office before the team left, he told her to pack her bags, she's on the team roster and head to Sweden. "They had told us to bring our passports with us, but I thought, 'That's crazy, I'm not going,'" Resor said to the Connecticut Post. "I was just there to help the team train. I was still recovering from an injury when the first tryouts took place in December, so I missed those and it was definitely a surprise when he put me on the team. I had to have my boyfriend find and sent me my passport."QuoteOn Team Canada: "That rivalry is unbelievable," Resor said to the Connecticut Post. "Playing them (and beating them) at Worlds last year was such a great feeling."

Shelbyville Daily Union
---- — Shelby Jr. Legion hosted Teutopolis on Tuesday and staged a blowout comeback in the bottom of the 7th to win going away on a walk-off double by Dylan Ohnesorge, 21-11.
Teutopolis drew first blood and built a lead, before Shelby made it a 2-run game in the 6th. When T'town didn't respond in the top of the 7th, but Shelby sure did. They exploded for 12 runs to gate a 10-run comeback, walk-off win.
T'town led 3-2, then 5-3, then 7-3 through three innings. They upped it to 9-4 through the top of the 5th. Shelby's 5-run 5th made it a game again 11-9. The 6th was quiet and T'town was blanked again in the 7th. Shelby then lit the fuse.
Down 11-9, Shelby faced the third T'town pitcher and he gave up lead-off walks to Josh Overbeck and Blake Nichols to put the tying runs on. They lifted him for a fourth pitcher.
A dropped 3rd strike to Tyler Hendryx (3-for-6) scored a run. Derek Moschenrose hit into a fielder's choice that was blown and it was tied, 11-11. Nic Hutchinson launched a sac fly and drove in go-ahead run, 12-11. Shelby had the lead, but wasn't done.
With one out and two men on, Dylan Ohnesorge walked. Jacob Kramer (3-for-3), already with a double, hit an RBI-single. Tyler Kemper reached on another dropped 3rd strike. Trevor Easton singled another run in.
Overbeck came up again in the inning and was hit by a pitch. After 11 batters had come to the plate, a batter struck out for the just the 2nd out. Hendryx put the ball in play and reached on an error, driving in a run.
Moschenrose smacked a RBI-double and Hutchinson walked. The 15th batter of the 7th, Dylan Ohnesorge, came to the plate with ten runs scored in the inning and two outs. Shelby had come from losing 11-9 to leading 19-11.
Ohnesorge hit a walk-off double, driving in two more runs and ending the game by the 10-run rule, 21-11.
T'town got three singles and an error to go up 3-0 in the 1st. Hendryx, fresh off a heroic performance for the Sr. Legion, led off with a single. Moschenrose followed with a single and Nic Hutchinson hit an RBI-double. With two outs, Kramer singled a run in to trail, 3-2.
A walk, a double, and an error gave T'town a 5-2 lead in the 2nd. Overbeck led off with a double, Mark Jones walked and Hendryx singled in a run, 5-3 T'town. T'town used a double and two singles to go up 7-3 in the 3rd. Shelby was blanked.
Two singles, an error and a hit batter in the 4th put T'town up 9-3. Shelby got one run back with two outs, when Jones walked, Hendryx reached on an error, Moschenrose walked and Jones scored on a wild pitch, 9-4. A walk, a hit batter, and a 2-run, 2-out single gave T'town an 11-4 lead in the top of the 5th.
Shelby finally got a rally in the bottom of the inning. With one out, Kramer was hit by a pitch. With two outs, Easton reached on an error and Overbeck singled a run in. Jones hit a 2-run single, Hendryx doubled, and Moschenrose singled in two runs, to make it a 2-run game, 11-9.

We love the way shapewear makes us look and feel, but there's more than one way to slenderize the silhouette. Slimming garments are a great way to re-shape your figure without an addition garment or body shaper. These kinds of garments utilize several techniques to trim and tone. Ruching can emphasize the waist and create a visually slimmer midsection. Strategic draping draws the eye to areas of interest, such as the bust and shoulders.

NEW ALBANY, IN (WAVE) – Authorities in New Albany have 38 people in custody after a six month investigation into drug dealing.
Chief Sherri Knight of the New Albany Police Department said officers from her department and other local, state and federal agencies fanned out early Wednesday to make the arrests.
[SLIDESHOW: Mugshots of New Albany drug suspects]
Police continue to search for nine of the wanted. Thirty-three of those arrested are being held in the Floyd County Jail. Four others are at Louisville Metro Corrections and one is in custody in Indianapolis.
Knight called the arrests the largest drug roundup in the history of the New Albany Police.
"The law enforcement in our community, as well as my office, have and will continue to aggressively pursue people who come into our community to deal drugs - to deal poison - to adults and children alike," said Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson.
Henderson said drugs are a problem all over, including in the Floyd County community. During 2012 and 2013, Henderson said there were 20 overdoses each of those years in Floyd County. During the first six weeks of 2014, Henderson said that number stands at seven.
According to Henderson, drugs and money seized during the arrests.

Jobing.com Arena among top NHL venues
The Phoenix Coyotes may not have an owner, but they apparently they boast one of the best arenas in the National Hockey League.
According to the Phoenix Business Journal, Jobing.com Arena was ranked as the eighth-best venue in the NHL.
Jobing.com Arena opened ten years ago, and while the Coyotes future has been uncertain, the facility is well-regarded for its sight lines.
Overall, the XCel Energy Center, home of the Minnesota Wild, came in first, followed by the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. where the Capitals play and the Tampa Bay Times Forum, home of the Lightning, respectively.

A new report from West Virginia Kids Count has revealed that Fayette County ranks 51st out of 55 counties in West Virginia for its rate of teen pregnancy. In 2011, 68 out of 1,000 females age 15-19 gave birth in the county, compared to a state-wide rate of 46.
Stakeholders say no single factor is to blame, and strong coordination and collaboration are key to addressing the problem.
Carri Strunk, who delivers sex education in Fayette County's schools, says she is not surprised by the ranking.
"I'm in the schools. I see it," she says. "I do think it's surprising for people who are not in the schools."
The West Virginia Department of Education expects that every school in the state presents state-wide content standards around sex education, set forth in policy 25-10.
But how to implement the content is up to local school systems, and each does so a little differently, according to spokesperson Liza Cordeiro.
Mary Weikle is the coordinator for health and physical education at the Office of Healthy Schools in the state department of education. She says counties fit their instruction to the needs of local students.
The content is primarily delivered by health teachers, and counties are free to use professionals, nurses, physician's assistants or pregnancy prevention specialists.
Rainelle Medical Center has been delivering the majority of Fayette County's sex ed program since January 2012, meaning the latest numbers do not reflect their efforts.
Four educators go into health classes, typically during sophomore year, and teach a 16-lesson, evidence-based program funded through a federal grant program.
The educators are currently working in four of five high schools — Valley being the exception — and the county's middle schools. Strunk says that schools have been "very inviting," and if more funding were available, they'd be in Valley as well.
"Some kids come in with a lot of misinformation. I think they're really confused because of all the different forces our kids are exposed to every day. They are getting mixed messages or no messages," says Strunk.
The high school sex education curriculum is "comprehensive," meaning it covers a broad range of issues relating to physical and biological aspects of sexuality, as well as the social and emotional aspects. Topics covered include abstinence, refusal skills, delay tactics, birth control methods, STDs, how to contact health providers and outcomes.
Middle schools use the abstinence-based "Promoting Health Among Teens" curriculum, which is targeted at African-American adolescents from low-income urban communities.
Rainelle sources much of its pregnancy prevention curricula — including programs like "Reducing the Risk" and "Draw the Line" — from a company called ETR Associates.
Condoms and other family planning services are not available in Fayette County schools. Weikle is not aware of any school districts that provide access to contraceptives.
"It's a medical decision and it's not the role of the school. (...) In many counties I don't think that would go over well," she says.
In Fayette County, teens can get free family planning services at New River Health clinics, the Fayette County Health Department, Montgomery General Hospital, and just over the county line at Rainelle Medical Center, according to Strunk.
Professionals who deal with the issue generally agree there is no single source of blame.
To a large degree, the county's high rate of teen pregnancy is a reflection of the county's socioeconomic status — Fayette ranks 47 out of 55 counties in its per capita income. Teen pregnancy rates are high among youth of all races and ethnicities who are socioeconomically disadvantaged.
"Our Children, Our future — a new campaign to end child poverty spearheaded by the WV Healthy Kids and Families Coalition — included teen pregnancy in its 2013 platform. They want to see funding for community health centers to provide more hours convenient for students, among several other initiatives.
"A lot of times kids in poverty aren't taught that there's more out there. They don't realize there's a future outside of Fayette County," says Strunk.
"Or even off my little road I live on," adds her supervisor Darla Thomas, who coordinates the sex ed program at Rainelle Medical Center. "Kids need to realize they have something to look forward to outside their little worlds, that they don't have to have a baby at 16 because they have other things to look forward to in life."
Strunk says a lack of transportation can also play a role. She says people in certain areas in the county with the highest poverty levels don't have vehicles to get to the doctor to access resources that might prevent pregnancy.
"The services are out there if we can just get the people to the services," she says.
The culture of the county as a whole also makes a difference, says Weikle. Ideological hurdles, taboos and social mores all contribute to the numbers in some way.
"There really is a culture of no discussion happening, and it's really problematic," says Lauren Weatherford, an extension agent in Fayette County.
"Sometimes talking about sex with adults is much harder than with teens. (...) Let's talk about it and address the issue, because we do have a problem," says Thomas.
Dr. Donald Newell, the Fayette County Health Department's physician director, says his department takes a "lead role" in addressing the issue.
"In addition to the Family Planning Program Clinic, offering free contraception and women's health services, registered nurses conduct off-site county-wide outreach for pregnancy prevention, including attending schools and health fairs and presenting to students in the classroom," he said.
The Fayette County Health Department offers family planning services every other Friday by appointment.
Condoms and emergency contraception and counseling are available for free at any time, anonymously, without an appointment, according to Newell.
Fayette County Commission President Matthew Wender says the health department has a key role to play and that he'd like to see the them making a more "aggressive and cooperative" effort with other health initiatives who deliver similar services.
Others agree that collaboration is key — solutions start in the homes, continue in the schools and are bolstered by outside entities.
"I'd like to see everybody in agreement that this is an issue that we all need to take on, and if we pull together, we can make a difference," said Strunk. "It's a societal problem and it will take everybody's help to see change."
Weikle says coordinating efforts among all stakeholders, building community-wide support for effective sex education and supporting teachers' efforts through professional development and removing barriers to teaching the sensitive topic will all help.
Darla Thomas says the costs to society are real and should not be diminished.
"Teen pregnancy costs everyone," she said. "Society pays a price in dollar amounts. Children born to teens are at greater risk for abuse and neglect, for living in poverty, for not graduating from high school. You may think, 'It doesn't affect me,' but it affects everyone."

Dietitian's tip: The midsummer wealth of vegetables and herbs makes it a pleasure to prepare this satisfying soup. Despite the bountiful ingredients, the soup is quick to make.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and saute for 30 seconds; don't let the garlic brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano and cumin and saute until the tomatoes are softened, about 4 minutes.
Add the stock and bay leaf and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and bring to a simmer. Add the carrot and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes longer. Stir in the lemon zest and cilantro. Season with the salt and pepper. Discard the bay leaf.
Ladle into individual bowls or mugs and serve immediately.
