Roy A. Smith
It was June 6, 1944, when Roy Smith set foot on the beaches of Normandy as a medic, only 20 years old, with an 8th grade education. This young man would witness the horror of 2,499 young Americans who gave the ultimate sacrifice and some 8,000 more that were severely wounded. Perhaps it was on that day, Roy Smith knew that somehow he would have to "give back" to all soldiers.
Little did Roy know on D Day, that later on he would honor nearly 5,000 veterans by laying them to rest with full military honors. Many would be old, like him, many would be young, the ages of his own sons, but they were all soldiers of so many wars and conflicts. And he would come back to check on them again, "their hallowed ground." For many years, Roy personally placed flags on the gravesites of all military personnel in Fayette County, "lest we forget."
Almost on a daily basis, since 1985, Roy Smith has presided over military funerals throughout the tri-county area. On Friday, March, 8, 2013, after assisting with the Junior ROTC at Oak Hill High School, Roy Smith received "his call" and died later in that evening after a very brief illness. He was 89 years young. Well done, thy good and faithful servant. You truly were one of "The Greatest Generation."
One of six children and a twin, Roy Allen Smith and his brother, Ray, were born on Jan. 6, 1924. He was the son of the late George Raymond and Fannie Bell Treadway Smith. His brother, Ray, and sisters, Helen Smith, Anna Taylor, Myrtle Woodrum Hutchison and Mable Casion, have preceded him in death.
When Roy returned from Europe, he served as a medic at Camp Ashford, a German prison camp operated by the U.S. Army at The Greenbrier hotel in White Sulphur Springs.
After his service career, Roy became a coal miner. He last worked at Summerlee Mine near Oak Hill. The mine was operated by Stuart Collieries, a subsidiary of the New River Company. He retired from the mining industry in 1958 when the mine closed and went to work at Long-Airdox where he became a material cutter.
In 1985, Roy founded the American Legion 149 & VFW Post 3110 Honor Guard for the purpose of doing military funerals. He served as Commander and presided over countless funerals, numbers of parades, church services and VA Hospital military services. Roy was Commander of the America Legion on four different occasions.
He was a member of Mount Hope Lions Club, and assisted with the Junior ROTC at Oak Hill High School. In later years, this group of young men and women have graciously taken over the ardent task of placing flags on the graves of Fayette County military personnel.
Surviving: his dear wife, Ruby, who so faithfully took his calls, "I'll have Roy call you back when gets in." Roy and Ruby made their home on Allman Street in Oak Hill. He was the beloved father of Rick and Jessica Smith of Dawson, Ronnie and Kathy Smith of Rock Creek, Rhonda Protka and Michael Protka, both of Oak Hill; six grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren.
On March 16, the life of Roy Allen Smith was remembered at the Oak Hill Gospel Tabernacle, Oak Hill, with Pastor Eric Smith officiating. Full military rites were conducted by the Oak Hill VFW Post 3110.
As always, Roy wanted to give back. He gave his earthly remains to the Human Gift Registry. At a later time, when he is "finished giving," his ashes will be spread on his favorite hunting spot at his son's farm. Daydream Ridge in Greenbrier County will become Roy's hallowed ground.
Duty, honor, country - that was Roy Smith.

New university tuition fees may be deterring students
Early indications suggest that the tripling of tuition fees to a maximum of £9,000 is putting students off university, a study has found.
Evidence shows that the fee increase, introduced next month, is reducing the number of applications to English universities, according to the Independent Commission on Fees.
Applicant numbers in England are down 8.8% compared with two years ago, while applications from 18 and 19-year-olds are down by around 7% over the same period.

Where Shall I Wander: New Poems (Hardcover)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
You meant more than life to me. I lived
through you not knowing, not knowing I
was living.
I learned that you called for me. I came to
where you were living, up a stair. There
was no one there.
No one to appreciate me. The legality of it
upset a chair. Many times to celebrate
we were called together and where
we had been there was nothing there,
nothing that is anywhere. We passed
leaving no stare. When the sun was done
in an optimistic way, it was time to leave
that there.
-- from "The New Higher"

From Russia with Love: Luke Babbitt update
Check out 1:20 for a rare glimpse of the Chalupacabra (#5) himself. It appears that Babbitt packed both his trademark tall socks and his defensive gameplan (look busy) on the road to basketball redemption. BC Nizhny Novgorod won their October 20th game against Kalev/Cramo 92-84. Babbitt chipped in 2 rebounds and 2 fouls in 4 minutes off the bench.
Nizhny currently sits at 2-3 in the VTB United League. NN is led by former NBA center Primoz Brezec, averaging 14.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game, and former UCLA swingman and New York Knicks 2nd round draft pick Dijon Thompson, averaging 13.7 points and 6.3 caroms per contest.
Babbitt is currently the 10th man in the rotation, averaging 6 points and 2.3 boards in 12.3 minutes per game. His role has been increasing of late, however. In Nizhny's recent loss to league-leading BC UNICS Kazan, Luke Babbitt's socks scored a season high 11 points and added 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal in 26 minutes of action.

ET CETERA By SHARON LING
LAST week I heard a heartwarming story about a girl named Stella who overcame a learning difficulty and gained self-confidence as a result.
Through her early school years, Stella believed she was stupid as she could not learn to read and write, no matter how hard she tried. By the time she was in Form Two, she was often at the bottom of the class, angry, frustrated and with no hope for the future.
But then she met Dr Ong Puay Hoon, the president of the Dyslexia Assocation of Sarawak, who assessed her and brought her to Klinik Jawa in Kuching where she was diagnosed with dyslexia.
With the intervention of Dr Ong and the association, Stella was able to attend a school with a special dyslexia programme and gradually learned to read and write.
She sat for her PMR exam two years after entering Form Three and managed to pass, although she did not score any As. Now she is studying in a vocational school in Matang and has bright hopes for her future.
"Before she was diagnosed with dyslexia, she had no self-esteem. She did not think she was pretty and would walk with her head down. Now she is full of confidence, standing tall and even putting on make-up," Dr Ong said.
Dr Ong was relating the story to show that children with dyslexia can be taught to read and write with the right help and intervention.
According to her, dyslexia is not a disease or intellectual disability, nor are dyslexics slow learners.
"Dyslexia is a learning difficulty. People with dyslexia find it difficult to read and write. Normally we use a specialised part of the brain for reading, which is the left brain.
"But dyslexics use the right brain instead. It's like using the wrong tool for reading and does not bring about the desired outcome or result. So dyslexics end up getting angry or frustrated because they work so hard to try to read but make so little progress."
However, this can be overcome. At the association's resource centre at Jalan Maxwell, Kuching, children with dyslexia can undergo a three-month intervention programme which is phonics-based.
"We found that students progress very well using this programme," Dr Ong said, adding that once dyslexic children overcome their difficulty, they can actually become better readers than non-dyslexic children.
"They just need help in decoding the letters. Our role is to tell parents and teachers that children with dyslexia are normal and can be very intelligent."
Stella's story also highlights the lack of expertise in the school system to accurately identify and diagnose students with dyslexia.
For every Stella who receives help and succeeds in overcoming her difficulty, how many more students go undiagnosed, particularly in rural areas?
The association, with the help of the Health, Education and Welfare Departments, carries out assessment of children at risk of dyslexia and sends them to Klinik Jawa for clinical diagnosis, besides offering intervention and tuition programmes for dyslexic children.
But it cannot be expected to spearhead these efforts on its own.
The Education Ministry needs to step in to ensure that there are sufficient trained teachers and departmental staff who can assess or diagnose children with dyslexia in schools.
As the association points out, one of the items on its wishlist is to have educational psychologists in every district-level education office to diagnose students with dyslexia.
This means assessment and diagnoses will be done at the local level, including rural areas, Dr Ong said.
She said the association also wants all teachers to be trained in at least one module on learning difficulties.
"This should not just be for teachers trained in special education. We hope the Education Ministry can come up with a compulsory module on learning difficulties in all teacher training institutes."
In addition, the association called for more dyslexia programmes to be opened in primary and secondary schools in the state.
The Education Ministry should pay serious attention to the association's wishlist and find ways to implement its requests.
By doing so, children with dyslexia would be able to receive the right diagnosis and intervention. Then they would not miss out on their education but go on to complete their studies and fulfill their ambitions like any other student.

Bethlehem's First House an iconic image
By Tim Higgins, Special to The Morning Call

It was, quite literally, Bethlehem's first house. The bustling city began as a simple 18th century log cabin built on the site of the Hotel Bethlehem on Main Street some 35 years before there was a Declaration of Independence. It was called "First House" by the early Moravians and even though it has been gone for nearly two centuries, it remains an icon, a reminder of the city of Bethlehem's Colonial roots and the historic setting of the city's very founding on Christmas Eve 1741.

The Czech Republic is a cool little landlocked country south of Germany and Poland, with a national addiction to pork and beer. Potatos, cabbage, and dumplings are close behind them, and they also have this great bar food called "utopenec." It means "a drowned man," it's pickled sausage with onions, perfect with some dark wheat bread and beer. The Czech bread is legendary, like a meal all by itself.
Czechoslovakia first became a sovereign state in 1918 when it declared independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The state of Czechoslovakia lasted until the "Velvet Divorce" of 1993, which created Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
It was occupied by Germany in WWII but escaped major damage, unlike most other European cities. The nation's capital, Prague, retains some of Europe's most beautiful Baroque architecture as well as one of the largest medieval castle complexes still standing. The President of the Czech Republic has his offices in the Prague Castle even today.
There was a coup d'etat in 1948 and Czechoslovakia fell under Soviet rule. For fifty years Czechoslovakia was a Socialist state under the USSR, subject to censorship, forced atheism and even the arrest of jazz musicians!
In 1989, communist police violently squashed a pro-democracy demonstration and pissed everybody off so bad that a revolution erupted over it, finally ending the Communist rule.
The next twenty years saw rapid economic growth and westernization. Today in Prague you can eat at McDonald's or KFC, shop for snowboarding boots and go see a punk rock show.
The Czech Republic took over the presidency of the European Union in January 2009. This instantly created lots of political drama because the President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, is a renowned Euroskeptic.
We anxiously await the outcome of "President Klaus vs. the Lisbon Treaty", a world heavywieght fight sceduled for spring 2009.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
If the recent trip to the Decatur County Animal Shelter and volunteering for the Head Start program are any indication of their efforts, the students at Greensburg Jr. High Achievement School will be doing quite a bit of giving back to the community during this school year.
One of the goals of the Achievement School is to teach students to be community-minded and know the importance of giving back to organizations that do so much for our city and county. The Decatur County Animal Shelter was a wonderful place to start. Without volunteers at the shelter, many dogs would not get the opportunity to get out, run and have one or one human interaction.
Students were given the opportunity to walk dogs and also to play with them in the fenced area at the facility located next to the Decatur County fairgrounds.
Also located at the Greensburg Learning Center, the Decatur County Head Start Program is a short walk across the hall from the Achievement School; students find it very convenient to volunteer. One such example was the recent visit to help students create Halloween masks and costumes.
The school is constantly looking for volunteer organizations that might be a good fit and flexible enough to allow the students to volunteer.

If you search the Internet for health-related information because you are suffering from new symptoms, and your goal is to self-diagnose, you may be suffering from cyberchondria.
A word first coined in the 1990s, cyberchondria results when someone with little or no medical training tries to diagnose herself by reviewing symptoms online, then determines she has some malady that is worse than what a doctor later diagnoses after putting the patient through a true diagnostic process.
Cyberchondria is the web-related, Internet-induced version of hypochondria.
Cyberchondria can create its own problems, even though it is not a real physical condition. With little background in understanding the body or its systems, the patient may come to conclusions that her symptoms represent a medical problem that is much worse than it is; a simple dermititis is thought to be a MRSA rash or an upset stomach is translated as ovarian cancer, for example.
With the fear and worry that result from the wrong diagnosis, the patient becomes anxious, upset or nervous prior to meeting with her doctor, then those emotions make the symptoms worse. The rash spreads or the nausea worsens, both in reaction to her fears, and not because she is any sicker.
Self-diagnosis through the use of the Internet can be problematic for a number of reasons:
First, the patient may not be translating her symptoms the same way a professional would, leading her in the wrong direction as she continues to do online research.
Second, the information she finds online may not be credible. She then compounds her fears, making her situation even worse.
Third, she may determine that her symptoms are less dire than they really are. She may choose not to pursue medical attention, thinking her symptoms point to something that does not require her to visit her doctor.
In November 2008, a report was issued by Microsoft researchers that showed the impact of self-diagnosis leading to cyberchondria. Specifically, they pointed to "escalation," meaning the online searcher continued to look at the medical problem that was worse, or more dire, than the diagnosis that was a more reasonable result or explanation, and less medically problematic.
If you think you are a victim of, or even guilty of cyberchondria, then there are some steps you can take to relieve it:
- Visit your doctor before you look online for information about your symptoms.
- Follow a prescribed process for self-diagnosis using the Internet, in a balanced manner.
- Stick to credible websites for your health information.
- Ask someone else to pursue the online symptom information alongside you to keep you grounded, so you won't spend time looking at problems that are beyond your probable diagnosis.

7 Principles of Healthy Eating
The remedy for eating better isn't deprivation, blandness, or a rigid diet―it's incorporating good habits into your life.
3. Eat less meat. The mainstays of a healthy diet should be grains, nuts, and seeds, as well as nonstarchy vegetables and fruits, rather than meat. Whole grains (oatmeal, brown rice, whole-wheat bread) provide fiber, which aids the digestive system and makes you feel fuller, and B vitamins, which can boost energy and aid metabolism. Nuts and seeds contain nutrients, such as vitamin E in almonds and sunflower seeds, that are otherwise hard to come by. Legumes―including beans, soybeans, peanuts, and lentils―provide fiber, too, along with protein, iron, folate, and other nutrients. Replacing meat with legumes as a protein source is a good strategy for reducing saturated-fat intake.
It's easier than you think to work these foods into your day. Open up a can of kidney beans or chickpeas and add them to soup, chili, or pasta. Or try a bowl of fortified breakfast cereal, 1 1/2 ounces of shelled sunflower seeds on a salad, or two ounces of almonds. You'll be one of the less than 3 percent of Americans who get the recommended daily dose of vitamin E.
4. Separate your fats. When it comes to fats, there's perhaps no other area of nutrition in which researchers have learned so much and confused so many consumers in the process. What you need to know is this: Fat has more calories per gram than carbohydrates or protein, so if you're trying to maintain or lose weight, limit the amount of fat you eat. That said, not all fats affect the body equally. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the "good" fats; they're found in nut and vegetable oils and oily fish, such as salmon, trout, and herring. They don't raise blood cholesterol levels and may even reduce the risk of cardiovascular problems. According to the American Heart Association, eating seafood with omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon and sardines, twice a week may reduce the risk of certain forms of heart disease.
Saturated and trans fats, also known as the "bad" fats, are found in dairy and beef products and palm and coconut oils. The more of them you eat, the higher your risk of cardiovascular disease. Trans fats are also found in French fries and many commercially baked products, such as cookies and crackers, but are becoming less common. After the U.S. Food and Drug Administration mandated that companies list trans fats on food labels, some restaurants, like Wendy's and Red Lobster, reduced their use, and many manufacturers have reformulated products to get rid of trans fats altogether. (Be aware, however, that many of those products now contain saturated fats instead.)

George Strait Biography:
George Harvey Strait was born on May 15, 1952, in Poteet, Texas. He was raised on a cattle ranch and spent the summers working on the ranch with his parents, brother and sister. When he was in third grade, his parents divorced. His mother took his sister to live with her, while George and his brother stayed with his father.
During high school, Strait was part of a rock band, but soon turned to country music. After high school, he entered college at Southwest Texas State University, but dropped out and eloped with his high school sweetheart, Norma, in Mexico.
Next, George enlisted in the Army, and was stationed in Schofield Barracks in Hawaii. He began playing in a country band while in the military.
After being honorably discharged in 1975, Strait and his family moved back to Texas, where he enrolled once more in Southwest Texas State University, and he graduated with an agriculture degree in 1979.
It Started with "Unwound"
In 1981, Strait released his first single, "Unwound." The song did very well, reaching the Top 10. After a second single stalled, his third single, "If You're Thinking You Want a Stranger (There's One Coming Home)," became his first Top 3 song. This began a string of Top 10 songs that lasted into the 1990s.
His first No. 1 song was "Fool Hearted Memory," and through the 1990s, he had a total of 31 No. 1 hits. By the mid-1980s, Strait was winning awards, such as the CMA Album of the Year, in 1985, for Does Ft. Worth Ever Cross Your Mind to his win for CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1989 and again in 1990.
Acting Bug
Strait has acted in several motion pictures, including a bit part in 1982 in The Soldier, and probably his most well-known part, as the star of Pure Country in 1992.
In 1995, Strait released Strait Out of the Box -- a four-CD box set. This became the second biggest selling box set ever.
Other albums followed annually, starting with Blue Clear Sky in 1996, then Carrying Your Love With Me, One Step at a Time, Always Never the Same, and Carrying Your Love With Me.
George kept going strong, scoring 50 Number One Hits, and then surpassing that with six more as of the writing of this biography.
Always a big touring act in the 1990s, he headlined the George Strait Country Music Festival taking rising stars on tour with him, who went on to become superstars themselves -- stars such as Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, the Dixie Chicks, Faith Hill, and Alan Jackson.
Strait continues to record and tour today, still racking up Top 5 hits left and right. For the man people call "King George," It Just Comes Natural.

Houston Texans wide receiver Andre Johnson is going to have an MRI to see what the damage is to his injured shin, according to the team's official website.
Johnson left the Texans' 30-9 loss early against the Baltimore Ravens after suffering a bone bruise in the first half. The former Miami Hurricanes star made an attempt to play in the third quarter, but ultimately had to shut it down for the day. When he left, Johnson had five catches for 36 yards.
Right now, things are unclear as to whether Johnson can play next Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks at home. Following the MRI, Houston is hoping to have a better idea of exactly how severe the bruise is. Johnson is also hoping for clarity:
"I don't know," Johnson said. "I don't know what's going to happen with it. Right now, I plan on planning. I have an MRI set up in the morning."
This was the second consecutive game Johnson has had to exit prematurely because of injury. In Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, Johnson departed with a concussion following an illegal hit by safety Bernard Pollard.

Penetrations and Edge Details
Weatherproofing roof penetrations is straightforward with
EPDM as long as you work carefully and follow the rules. The
secret is to use uncured EPDM, which comes in narrow rolls
designed for patching and flashing applications. Cured EPDM has
a memory; when you stretch it, it springs back to its original
size. Uncured EPDM has no memory; when you stretch it and glue
it around a vent pipe, for instance, it forms itself to the
shape of the pipe (Figure 3).
3. Uncured EPDM flashing membrane molds easily
to roof penetrations like metal chimneys (top) and
plumbing vent pipes. All flashing patches should be
sealed with a fully glued double layer of EPDM
Patches require two layers of flashing membrane — a
smaller first layer and a wider top layer that completely
covers the bottom layer. For plumbing vents, you can use an
EPDM rubber boot instead of the first layer of EPDM. Patches
and flashing are glued with splicing adhesive.
Where the roof meets an inside corner of a sidewall or
parapet, you can either fold the corner or slit the membrane
and patch (Figure 4).
