IT’S ENTIRELY POSSIBLE – a virtual certainty, in fact – Dr. Angela Cade is the first Rangerette to get through medical school and come back to Kilgore as a physician.

DR. CADE offices in the Good Shepherd Family Health Center at 1718 S. Henderson – that row of medical offices immediately south of the hospital which has for years (and still does) housed Trinity Mother Frances clinic, as well.

SHE practices family medicine and, we’re told, has a special interest in women’s health.

Authorities stress continued caution as local West Nile situation develops

By AUSTIN KING news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

Rusk County officials say West Nile virus has claimed two residents; one has died from the disease in Gregg county.

With rain showers continuing off and on across East Texas and the spread of West Nile Virus, residents are urged to do what they can to protect themselves and prevent the spread of mosquitoes.

“We’re actively spraying,” said Kilgore Special Services Superintendent B.J. Owen. “We ask that anyone who has mosquitoes, call City Hall to tell us what time of day they’re active so we can possibly what kind of mosquitoes they’re dealing

“It’s not a ‘one-bite, get-you’ deal. It’s a cumulative effect.”

‘The Face of Texas’ exhibit on display Aug. 27 through Sept. 27 in Kilgore

The Kilgore College Visual Arts Department will display “The Face of Texas Exhibit,” featuring the works of Michael O’Brien from Aug. 27 through Sept.

27 in the Anne Dean Turk Fine Arts Gallery on the Kilgore campus.

O’Brien is an Austin photographer who has spent the last two decades capturing “The Face of Texas” in photographs.

Originally published as a book by Bright Sky Press in 2003, O’Brien’s photographs have been organized as a traveling exhibition by The Old Jail Art Center in Albany, Texas, and were on display at the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin from Oct, 1, 2005 through Jan. 8, 2006.

The exhibit includes 43 of O’Brien’s large-scale photographs that celebrate the individuality and independent spirit of Texas through portraits of its people -- a fascinating and diverse array of native and adoptive Texans, from powerful big-city movers to unique small-town characters.

Accompanying text by his wife and former reporter for Life, Elizabeth O’Brien, tells the stories behind the arresting images.

Some of the more recognizable faces in the exhibit belong to President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.

An image of Lady Bird Johnson, taken in 1989, shows her at home at the LBJ Ranch, poised on a white sofa, her bright yellow skirt an echo of the yellow wall behind her.

An avid music fan, O’Brien’s lens captures Texas musicians like Destiny’s Child of Houston, Kinky Friedman, accordionist Johnny Degollado and Austin singer/songwriters Willie Nelson, Darden Smith and Kelly Willis.

O’Brien also focuses on Texas sports figures, from track star Carl Lewis to football greats Earl Campbell, Troy Aikman and The University of Texas football coach Mack Brown.

Gallery hours are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Monday through Friday. Admission is free.

For more information, contact Carolyn Fox-Hearne, gallery director, at 903-983-8128.

Main Street Manager Clara Chaffin speaks with Kilgore Special Services Superintendent B.J. Owen about the long to-do list of repairs that will have to be completed in the Crim Theater before the upcoming 'Theaterror' fright house in October.

Main St. prepares frightful fundraiser in Crim Theater

By JAMES DRAPER news1@kilgorenewsherald.com

With its restored, carefully-maintained art deco facade, from the outside the Crim Theater is a beautiful building, glowing at night in cool neon.

Inside, well, it looks a fright.

Dark, dank and dreary, with crumbling walls, faded plaster, broken fixtures, a collapsed stage and more than its fair share of age spots, when you step through the doors of the historic structure, it’s downright spooky.

For the moment, at least, that’s not a bad thing.

All but unusable, the Crim Theater is in dire need of renovation, and city officials have been throwing around ideas for months, trying to find a way to inject new life into the undead theater. Come October, they’ll take the first step.

Aiming to scare up some interest in the looming, expensive repairs, the Kilgore Main Street program is organizing ‘The Crim Theaterror,’ a citysanctioned fright house set to draw crowds (and dollars) downtown.

“I am ecstatic about it,” Main Street Manager Clara Chaffin said Friday morning following a planning meet-

ing at the Crim Thursday evening. “I think this project is going to be an excellent fundraiser – it’s time for us to do something with the Crim Theater. I know in the past so many people have tried and tried. Now we’re going to really push, and we’re going to get this Crim Theater open again.”

Currently, plans call for the Theaterror to be open for business between 7 p.m. and midnight on Fridays and Saturdays in October. Hours will likely shift as Halloween night approaches, and Chaffin plans to open the fright house Monday through Wednesday the week of Oct. 29. The nearby Texan Theater will also be utilized during the weekly events.

Tickets will run approximately $10 and may be paired with other local deals.

Chaffin’s volunteer committee is still developing the scares inside the Theaterror, mapping out individual terror parlors as well as a maze, revolving around a theatrical theme.

But there’s a lot of advance work to be completed in the estimated 6,000 square-feet of usable space – graffiti to be painted over, dirt to be cleaned out, broken lightbulbs to be swept away and a pile of junk (potential de-

cor) to be inventoried, used or tossed.

“It’s been used as a storage unit,” Chaffin lamented. Beginning next week, a crew of Gregg County Jail trustees is scheduled to lend a hand.

“The inmates are going to be helping clean out and build. I’m a big advocate of: if you’re an inmate get out there and help the community. I think it’s a really good program that we have.”

Kilgore firefighters have been recruited to help with construction of the fright house features, spearheaded by foreman Jeremy Dent of Main Street Flowers & Gifts.

Coordinating with Kilgore Special Services Superintendent B.J. Owen, Fire Marshal Brandon Bigos and Assistant Fire Chief Mike Simmons, Chaffin is confident the various logistical repairs will make the building usable on a temporary basis for the Theaterror, able to house – for brief periods – up to 50 people, a mix of volunteer actors and patrons.

“The city supports the project and is working closely with the Main Street program to ensure the safety of all participants.”

The volunteer angle is key for the overall success of the project – from sponsors to planners to the construction crew to ticket-takers and actors, Chaffin is eager for a large group, 100-plus, to be involved in the project, contributing to the ultimate resurrection of the building.

“Any funds that are raised will likely go to any repairs that need to be done in order to maintain the theater and possibly hire architects to start moving forward with the idea for the renovation,” Chaffin explained. The last time anything significant happened inside was about 50 years ago.

“I’m really excited to get the public back into the theater. Let’s open it up again, even if it’s just for a fundraiser.

It’s a historic moment.”

WEST NILE with.”

There have been seven cases of West Nile virus – including one fatality – in Gregg county in the past two weeks.

Mosquitoes spend much of their life, including birth, in standing water. Leaving a bird bath or kiddie pool filled can turn them into a birthing center for mosquitoes. Owen also said last week’s storms may have left several puddles or unattended pools of standing water about that mosquitoes may be born in. Eliminating those pools can help cut down on the mosquito population in an area.

“They can’t hatch if water is gone; that’s the best way to deal with them,” Owen said. “Go in your backyard, look in your neighbor’s yard, a neighborhood as a whole can do a lot to help.”

Once the mosquitoes hatch, however, the spray is the next best way to deal with the pests. Earlier this week, city spray crews were circulating through the city evenings and mornings, trying to eliminate as many of the bugs as possible.

“There’s probably more cases” of West nile, said Fred Killingsworth of Gregg County Health Department.

“Because of how the disease works, it may never show.”

Killingsworth explained that the most common symptoms of WNV are minor headaches or fever and nothing more. Many who are infected do not suffer any symptoms, depending on their health and activity, and only a very few people suffer the harsher effects.

“A good, healthy person that stays active is less likely to suffer from the disease,” Killingsworth said. “They could already be exposed, and not even know it.”

Humans and other animals can only obtain WNV from mosquitoes, and only from those mosquitoes that have drained blood from birds that carry the virus.

A human cannot infect another human, and a single mosquito bite probably will not be enough to spread the disease.

“It’s not a ‘one-bite, get-you’ deal,” Killingsworth said. “It’s

a cumulative effect.”

Killingsworth said Gregg County will help cities spraying insecticisde of the community lacks spraying equipment. The county is also promoting preventative measures citizens can take to prevent infection. Residents should stay indoors during dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active, dress

in long sleeves and loose clothes when outdoors, use repellent to keep mosquitoes away and drain all standing water to prevent more mosquitoes from hatching.

Rusk County confirmed two cases of the virus, both of which ended in the death of the infected. In response, the county is seeking more ways to keep residents safe.

“We’ve sent a request in for help from the state for aid in getting some areas sprayed,” said Rusk County Judge Joel Hale. statewide, there have been 23 deaths from WNV, and 640 residents exposed to the virus. Last year, only two WNV deaths were reported in Texas.

How to protect horses amid recent increase in West Nile virus cases The West Nile Virus cases in humans and horses have been on the rise in 2012, and, according to the CDC, human cases are at their highest levels since West Nile Virus was first detected in the United States in 1999. Dr. Tracy Norman, clinical assistant professor at the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) Large Animal Clinic, suggests protecting horses by vaccinating against the disease and taking measures to prevent mosquito bites.

The virus is transmitted by mosquitoes from avian hosts to humans and horses.

Both humans and horses are considered “dead-end” hosts of West Nile Virus, which means it is not contagious from horse to horse or horse to human. If bitten by an infectious mosquito, the virus can multiply in the blood system, cross the blood brain barrier, and infect the brain. There, it can cause inflammation of the brain, interfering with central nervous system functions.

Most horses infected with the virus do not exhibit signs of the disease. For those that do, however, symptoms are similar to other neurologic diseases and can include impairment of basic motor skills (including loss of coordination or asymmetrical weakness, a change in behavior, or drowsiness. Some horses with West Nile may have a fever early in the disease and show symptoms such as sensitivity to touch and sound, and muscle twitching in the face, muzzle, and neck.

“These typical neurologic signs are not always present in infected horses, sometimes infected horses just appear colicky,” Norman said. “You should always consult with a veterinarian if you suspect a horse of having West Nile Virus. Confirmation of infection is easily diagnosed through a blood test. Then owners and the veterinarian can plan a course of treatment.”

Norman explained that the main treatment for West Nile is supportive care.

Often anti-inflammatory drugs (such as Banamine, steroids, and DMSO) and intravenous fluids are used. If the horse is having difficulty balancing, a sling can be

used to support the horse as it recovers.

“The idea is to keep the horse healthy so it can fight the virus,” Norman said.

“If the horse is down and cannot get back up on its own, the outlook is pretty bad,” Norman said. “The mortality rate for West Nile is about 30 to 40 percent.

Many infected horses will survive, but many of those will have residual neurological impairment. Not all horses will regain their previous performance levels.”

Norman stressed that vaccines against West Nile are the best way to prevent infection in horses. While the vaccine is not 100 percent effective at preventing clinical disease, the vaccine can help reduce the severity of the symptoms (because of some pre-existing immunity from the vaccine). Vaccinated horses that do become sick with West Nile Virus are in general less sick, requiring less intensive treatment, are sick for shorter periods of time, and have a better chance at making a full recovery than unvaccinated horses. Vaccination against West Nile Virus is recommended by the American Association of Equine Practitioners as one of the core vaccines that all horses should receive.

Additionally, horse owners can take steps to reduce the amount of mosquitos around their facilities by eliminating standing water; keeping stalls and pens clean; using equine mosquito repellents, fly sheets, and fly masks; and placing fans inside stalls (mosquitos have difficulty flying in wind).

The vaccines provide year-long coverage, but in some areas like Texas, with long summers and short, mild winters, some veterinarians will give the vaccine twice a year. Norman recommends vaccinating horses that have not yet been vaccinated this year to help protect horses through the fall mosquito months.

Kilgore Boys & Girls Club Board President Pam DeCeault praises the Champions for Youth who contributed $1,000 each to supplement the organization's budget.

BOYS&GIRLS

Continued from Page 1A

said club board president Pam DeCeault. “I have to credit Ronnie Spradlin for having the vision of having a Boys and Girls Club in Kilgore.”

Boys and Girls Club seeks to provide a safe environment for kids outside of school hours, where the kids are offered a place to do homework, receive tutoring, participate in active programs to keep healthy and are encouraged to grow and mature as a person. Programs such as “Passport to Manhood” and “Smart Girls” focus on building character in Kilgore’s youth.

“Some of the things the kids have learned… for example, Ronnie Spradlin showed the boys how to tie a tie,” DeCeault said.

Parents may enroll a single child on Boys and Girls Club for $40 a month. The second and third children who are signed up cost $25 a month each, and every child after the third may attend free.

“It’s a wonderful program,” DeCeault said. “We’re blessed to have it in Kilgore, and we’re blessed to have LaKesha.”

As a nonprofit organization, Kilgore Boys and Girls Club makes up its annual $120,000 budget through donations and fund raising events such as the annual Texas Two-Step held each January. This year’s Two-Step raised more than $50,000.

“Our budget comes entirely from fundraising and donations,” DeCeault said. “We are very blessed to have been supported in Kilgore.”

This year, Kilgore Boys and Girls Club launched a new fundraiser; Champions for Youth. Companies and individuals who donated $1,000 were honored Friday as the champions for the youth of Kilgore, and will receive frequent updates on Boys and Girls Club activities, statistics and the performance of certain kids in school and how Boys and Girls Club has helped make an impact in their lives.

“The companies and individuals who are our Champions for Youth really are champions for youth,” Woodall said. “It’s not just a name or slogan, it’s the truth.”

This year’s individual Champions for Youth are; Ronnie Spradlin, Richard and Pamela DeCeault, Nan ShertzerWhite, Jo Maxwell and Matt and Cindy Turner.

Companies which were honored as Champions for Youth are Morrison Supply Company – represented by Mike and Susie Anthony, Kilgore Rotary Club, Coastal Chemical, Energy Weldfab, D&D Industrial Supply – represented by Heather Logston, Sabine Pipe and Supply – represented by Ron Welling and Ana-Lab Corporation – represented by Dr. Charles Whiteside, “We appreciate everything you do,” DeCeault said.

UNDATED -- School zones across Texas will be activated and school buses will be on the road Monday morning as the new school year begins, and the Texas Department of Transportation, the Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement agencies want to remind motorists to leave a few minutes early to allow for extra time on your Monday morning commute.

Like work zones, fines for speeding in school zones double when the school zone is active. The law also prohibits the use of handheld communications devices in active school zones.

"The law requiring motorists to put the cell phone down in a school zone is still relatively new," said TxDOT spokesman Larry Krantz. "But there is zero tolerance for it as far as law enforcement is concerned.

No phone call or similar distraction is worth a child's life."

Motorists traveling in both directions on a given roadway must stop when red lights flash on a school bus. Violations can lead to a $1,000 fine.

"At least one student is killed every year while waiting to get on, or just after

getting off a school bus," Krantz said. "And in almost every case, it's because a motorist ignores the flashing red lights."

Finally, for students waiting for the bus or walking to school, stand far back from the road while waiting for the bus, and look both ways if you have to cross the street when moving to or from a pick-up point.

Stay on sidewalks when possible, and when there is no sidewalk, walk as close to the curb as possible against the direction traffic is moving.

"It's worth remembering that these laws are necessary because children aren't always as aware of their surroundings as adults might be," Krantz said.

"But if as adults we're too distracted to be watching out for each other's children, it's only a matter of time before tragedy strikes."

FYI

Tommy was so proud of the accomplishments of his children and their spouses. He was also proud of his five grandchildren and enjoyed being their “Pop.” His other loves included fishing and coaching baseball.

Tommy is survived by his wife of 49 years, Sandra Wynne Craig of Kilgore; son and daughter-in-law, Chance and Jayne Craig of Longview; daughter and son-in-law, Bliss and Pete Bednar of Caldwell; of Hallsville, and Regina and Werner Klouda and family of El Paso; stepchildren; Bo and Judy White and family of Kilgore, Johnny and Linda Bradley and family of Kilgore and Herman And Diane Holmes and family of Tyler; sister Doris Tucker of Longview; special niece Cindy and David Nolin of Hallsville; as well as numerous oth-

AGENDA Aug. 7, wrapping up work at the city’s three properties on Monday. Following the employees’ resignation, the city put out a Request for Proposal, entertaining the idea of hiring a contractor to handle the ongoing maintenance of Kilgore Cemetery, Kilgore Memorial Gardens and Danville Cemetery.

“The goal is that the cemeteries are maintained to a proper standard that will allow respect for the families of those that are interred,” Kilgore City Manager Scott Sellers said Friday.

Also, “The City of Kilgore would be remiss to allow any opportunity to save taxpayer dollars to pass us

by without exploring the option. Therefore, we are in the process of exploring whether a cost-savings could be achieved through the private sector.

“If it is determined that a cost-savings cannot be achieved this way, we will begin the process of filling vacancies in the cemetery division.”

The bid-opening is one of five public hearings on Tuesday’s agenda. The first and second of the night focus on the city’s finances during the coming fiscal year, Oct. 1 to Sept.

30, 2013.

Following their summerlong review of the city’s draft $22 million budget

for FY2013, at their last regular meeting council members scheduled the requisite public hearing on the financial plan for Tuesday in addition to two public hearings on their tentative, maximum tax rate of 0.40 per $100 valuation.

The second public hearing on the tax rate is set for Sept. 4 before the scheduled adoption of both the budget and rate Sept. 11.

“There may be a few small revisions to the budget based upon certain requests or items that have emerged since the presentation of the budget during the Aug. 14 council meeting,” Sellers said, “but I do not anticipate any major

changes.”

The proposed budget is available for public review through cityofkilgore.com and in hard-copy at the Kilgore Public Library.

Individuals who wish to comment during the public hearings may reserve their spot by filling out a speaker card before the meeting; during a public hearing, the time allotted to speakers is set at the mayor’s discretion.

In another hearing, council members will welcome public comments on a zoning change for an approximately one-acre tract at 2024 S. Henderson Blvd – the applicant is requesting a Special Use Permit

to live at the residence and have a gift shop.

In the final public hearing of the night, Kilgore Public Works Director Seth Sorensen will also open bid proposals for a neighborhood-wide waterline replacement including Tucker, Harvey, Fason, County, Hale and Luder Streets.

On their consent agenda (items typically adopted as a group with one vote and no discussion), the council will consider a contract with the Texas Department of Public Safety for a Failure to Appear Program offered by the state’s driver license division and administered through the Kilgore

Municipal Court.

In addition to transferring $300,000 from general funds to the Capital Improvement Fund for reconstruction of Choice Street in the coming Fiscal Year, council members will consider the purchase of about $12,100 of materials for the Cedar Street sanitary sewer extension and almost $29,000 for the Choice Street waterline replacement.

Also on the consent agenda, the council could choose to donate several lots – which they recently re-zoned – to Habitat for Humanity for new single family homes.

Fire Academy class learns life-saving techniques

By AUSTIN KING news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

To be certified in cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillator (AED) means one can potentially save another’s life in what would otherwise be a hopeless situation.

“Here’s the mindset you have to have when doing CPR: What percent chance will they have if you do nothing?” asked Kilgore Fire Department Battalion Chief Danny Downing. “Zero.”

Kilgore Citizen’s Fire Academy students split into two groups Thursday evening – those who were already CPR

and AED certified joined Captain Michael Stanley to suit up and learn more about the duties and dangers of being a firefighter, the rest of the class remained with Downing to learn proper CPR and AED technique.

Those who are certified in CPR who attempt to save someone’s life are protected under Good Samaritan laws, Downing said, which protects those who attempt to give emergency medical aid without payment in return.

“You want to follow your guidelines,” Downing said. “Do what you need to do. Be safe.”

One question asked early in the class was the proper time to perform CPR. The answer: when a victim is no longer breathing.

“If they’re breathing, their heart is beating,” Downing said. “If they’re not breathing, their heart is not beating. It’s that simple.”

Downing instructed his class with the aid of a DVD which goes through each step of CPR. When it came down to practicing the technique itself, students worked with mannequins implanted with false lungs to help simulate the act of mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and the rise and fall of a patient’s chest, which students are instructed to look out for to know that they’re performing proper CPR. The lesson focused on CPR for adults.

Students also learned how to use a “CPR mask,” or a plastic device that can be used to blow air into a victim’s lungs without doing mouth-to-mouth. Once

the CPR portion was completed, students then learned to handle the AED. “When your adrenaline is really going, you get confused and can’t think about what pad goes where,” Downing said. “Zoll has simplified it with a onepiece pad.”

Several Zoll-brand AEDs are stationed around the city. These machines offer audible instructions and commands to help responders in emergency situations, as well as provide an electrical shock to help start a victim’s heart if needed.

Stanley sought to show his group the dangers a firefighter must face before he or she reaches the blaze. The hot and heavy uniforms are necessary to wear, but also makes movement and communication difficult for firefighters.

“It’s very important to stay in shape,” he said. “That gear, it leads to fatigue.”

KFD masks are equipped with voice amplifiers to increase the sound of a firefighter’s voice, though the frantic sounds of a fire scene may still drown out the amplified voice. To combat this, Stanley and his teammates use hand signals to communicate.

“A lot of it is developing as a squad,” he said.

The two leading causes of death in firefighting are heart attacks and accidents heading to a fire, he said. To stress safety, Stanley showed each student how to strap into their seat in the fire truck while in full gear.

“One of the most dangerous things for firefighters is gong to and from accidents,” he said.

Police dept. bolsters house watch program

By AUSTIN KING news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

Kilgore Police Department is trying to find ways that to better aid the residents of Kilgore.

One such improvement has come to KPD’s house watch program, which allows residents to make a request to have officers keep an eye on their home.

“We’ve had a house watch program for a while,” said KPD Captain Roman Roberson. “We’ve recently reviewed it and looked at ways we could improve it.”

The solution? More information.

Residents who are leaving their home for an extended period may now fill out a house watch request form to tell KPD about their house, how long they’ll be out and what to look out for. Businesses with no employees around for a period of time may also fill out a business watch form to request KPD’s surveillance of the business building.

“The new form helps us be more efficient,” he said.

In addition to the new request form, KPD is launching a Direct Patrol Program, which means residents can make a request for KPD officers to patrol around an area that has continued problems or suspicious activity.

“If you’ve got issues in your neighborhood that we may need to pay attention to, you can put it in the form,” Roberson said.

Those who wish to make a house or business watch request, or a direct control request can find the request form on KPD’s website, kilgorepolice.com, or at the KPD office at 909 N. Kilgore St.

GOHMERT that it’s going to help people get more insurance, it’s just not true.

We’ve already seen that,” Gohmert argued. He vowed to fight doggedly before the entirety of the legislation goes into effect. “Once these structures are in place, it’s going to be hard to tear them down. What’s going to happen is going to have to happen very quickly in January.

Small businesses will be unable to compete under the law, Gohmert said. The required level of health insurance, per employee, is going to be cost-prohibitive, and the business will be penalized for each employee that remains uninsured.

For many companies, “They’ve already dropped their health insurance or they’re in the process of making that happen when Obamacare is implemented,” he said.

Likewise, “Some insurance companies will say, ‘We just can’t play under these rules.

“If you read the bill, the way I did, you will understand it’s causing millions to lose their insurance.

It ought to be very clear what’s down the road, what will happen: people will lose their health insurance right and left, they’ll be kicked under the federal program, insurance companies will go out of business...”

In the end, the powers-that-be will be poised to throw up their hands in a pantomime of surprise and take over healthcare entirely, Gohmert warned.

“Our healthcare’s important to us. But we always get in trouble when the government quits being the referee and goes to being a coach and a player. You can’t be all three.”

He proposes an alternative, one he’s been advocating for the past three years.

According to Gohmert’s plan, age-qualifying individuals will have the choice to stay on Medicare or adopt his strategy, a health savings account, paid out with a coded, medical-only debit card.

Continued from Page 1

NEWS HERALD photo by AUSTIN KING

Reluctant to call the Affordable Care Act anything but 'Obamacare,' U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert told the Kilgore Lions Club the plan is likely to leave millions without insurance rather than gaining them the promised coverage.

“There ought not to be any restrictions on what you can put in there,” he said. Individuals will be able to pass their unused funds onto their descendants as inheritance or gift them to charity. “You’re giving them freedom and you’re preserving the best healthcare system in the history of mankind.

During his lunchtime speech, Gohmert also focused on the destruction and delay caused by party politics in Washington.

“Gridlock’s a good thing,” Gohmert allowed. “It’s what our founders wanted to happen. It’s why they created two houses that could both nix what the other’s doing.”

It’s why the power is separated between the legislature, the judiciary and the presidency, he noted.

But, “To one extent, gridlock’s a good thing except when you’re not doing the basics that need to be done, like a budget – the things that make a country, a family, move forward successfully.

“We’ve got a lot of folks who are acting like they’re listening, but we’re not getting stuff done that we should be.”

The budget, in particular, is a tough debate, a tough decision, but it’s one that must be made.

“Anybody in any kind of business, big or small, knows you can’t get your business under control unless you have a budget and you figure out how to live within the amount of money you’ve got coming in,” he said. “When you dont’ have one, you just keep limping along.”

But those tough decisions are being delayed by both parties, Gohmert chided, trying to forestall any dramatic developments until after the November election.

Beginning in 2009, the country has been spending more than a trillion dollars every year over-budget.

If party leaders continue to cut deals on the debt ceiling to avoid political problems, the result will eventually be hundreds of billions

of dollars cut from national security or hundreds of billions from Medicare.

“If leadership of either party is not willing to deal with that problem they shouldn’t be in leadership.”

But the common logic on Capitol Hill is blocking any sort of progress. Incoming freshmen legislators learn one thing immediately: “The best thing you folks can do for your country is get re-elected.”

“It infuriated me every time,” Gohmert said. “That’s just not true.

There may be a vote on something that is so critical to the ongoing of this nation and there’s not enough time to counter the massive misinformation from the mainstream media, that you have to cast a vote that may get you beat. If you’re not willing to do that for the good of the country, you shouldn’t run.”

It’s one reason, Gohmert said, that he’s proud to represent the first district of Texas – constituents don’t hesitate to disagree with him,

but they also give him a chance to debate the issues and the time to find out what bothers them.

During the past two weeks, Gohmert’s local and Washington D.C. staff members have toured the first district, including stops at the East Texas Oil Museum, Kilgore College, Sabine Mining Company, Caddo Lake and other key sites.

“It’s just important to me that people understand, that are on my staff, why I love East Texas, why I don’t want to live anywhere else, and get a sense of my priorities here,” Gohmert explained. The oil museum, in particular, is an important stop, he added, giving his staff a crash course on the East Texas oilfield’s past, present and future. “What an incredible resource.

With oil and gas being so important, at least to some of us that work in Washington, it’s important to get here and see that first.”

This year, more than 250 families received school supplies for their students at the annual school supply giveaway hosted at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church. The annual event is made possible by the efforts of many, such as Presbyterian Children’s Home and Family Services child and family expert Sondra Edwards, who estimated that more than 800 packs of supplies were given out. Leftover supplies will be taken to Kilgore Independent School District schools to be given to students who may not have been able to make it to the giveaway. After that, all leftover supplies will be used in next year’s giveaway.

HIGH SCHOOL VOLLEYBALL

Sabine tops Gilmer, visits KHS Tuesday

IT’S ALL COMING TOGETHER — Kilgore’s own Ryan Bustin (center) stretches during a recent Texas Tech University football practice.

Bustin, who kicked at Kilgore High School for four seasons and also played for Kilgore College, is about to try his hand — and foot — in the Big 12 Conference.

The Red Raiders host Northwestern State in their season opener next weekend; ironically, Bustin will face former KHS teammate and Kilgore native Blayne Cole in that game.

By MITCH LUCAS sports@kilgorenewsherald.com

The good start continues for Sabine volleyball, who swept Gilmer Thursday and is now 10-2 on the season.

Sabine won, 25-22, 25-22, 25-19. Kylie Baker had 13 kills, 13 digs, a block, an assist and went 9 of 10 serving with six points and an ace.

Jordan Baker had seven kills, four digs, 12 assists and went 15-of-17 serving with 11 points and three aces.

Haley Stuart had seven kills and two digs; Tylia Sylestine had three kills, three blocks, nine digs, two assists, and was 13-of-13 serving with seven points and two aces; Rainie Tucker had 15 digs, and went 8-of-8 serving with an ace and six points.

Kilgore, who’s playing in a tournament at East Texas Baptist University this weekend, hosts Sabine Tuesday, beginning at 5, and then Sabine leaves Wednesday for Orlando, Fla., to compete in the Kaylee Scholarship Association Tournament at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Kilgore’s Bustin set to make mark at Texas Tech

By NICK KOSMIDER Special to the News Herald

Like many kickers, Ryan Bustin began the art of legto-ball striking at a young age by playing soccer.

It took only one play, though, for Bustin to realize that his best chance at future athletic success resided on

the football field.

“I made a 42-yard (field goal) in eighth grade,” Bustin said, “and ever since then I’ve tried to make the most out of (football).”

The former Kilgore High School and Kilgore College standout has continued to develop his talent since that memorable boot, and now he’ll get ready to perform on his biggest stage yet as Texas Tech’s starting kicker.

Bustin redshirted last season after transferring from KC, where his 13 field goals

as a freshman — he also converted 19-of-19 pointafter attempts — were tied for third-most among junior-college kickers. He said he is looking forward to rediscovering the adrenaline that comes with pressure situations.

“I’m really excited,” said Bustin, who gave up soccer after his junior year of high school to devote more time to football. “It’s one of my biggest dreams to play Big 12 football, Division-I football, and I’m ready to get it

going.”

So far, Bustin has appeared ready to take on the role. He rarely missed a kick during spring practice, and he has made 7-of-9 fieldgoal attempts through Tech’s first two fall scrimmages.

“It’s a little different between game and practice,” Tech coach Tommy Tuberville said, “but I tell you what, he’s looked great in practice. ... I feel good about him. But again, nobody has seen him in a pressure situation like he’s going to be in.”

Bustin knows he’ll be judged based on what he does in clutch situations on Saturdays this fall. He said traveling with the team last year and getting a feel for how loud it can be in Big 12 stadiums was a useful experience.

Having a mentor like three-year starter Donnie Carona helped Bustin, too.

“Donnie definitely helped,” Bustin said. "He’s talked to me about the pressure part of it, telling me not to get involved in the hype and everything. You just have to stay calm, do your job, and he’s really helped

me with that part.”

Carona demonstrated for Bustin just how quickly the life of a kicker can ebb and flow during Tech’s loss to Texas A&M last season.

Carona had a career day, tying a Tech record with four field goals. But with Tech aiming to pull close late in the third quarter, Carona had a long field-attempt blocked, and it was returned for a touchdown that essentially sealed the game for the Aggies.

Bustin knows the ups and downs come with the territory. He just wants to stay on top of the factors he can control.

“You just have to go out as if you’re in practice every day,” Bustin said. “That’s how I look at it, as if you’re just in front of your teammates out there kicking the ball. It doesn’t matter if there are 10 people watching or 100,000 people watching.

That’s just the way you’ve got to go about it.”

Lacy Burrhus, who serves in the U.S. Navy, came to Kilgore to visit family recently. She was appalled at the tattered flags seen around town one of which was in a public area that has many visitors throughout the summer. Lacy has served in Iraq and in Afghanistan and told her sister-in-law, Kristi Morrow that “American flags flying in other countries are in better condition than the ones on American soil.”

It is embarrassing that it took one of our military personnel to point this out. The boy scouts still collect old flags and dispose of them properly according to Scout Master Bruce Chase. He informs us retired flags can be dropped off at the Scout Hut at the City Park located on the corner of Kay and Wood Street. Please place it in a box labeled retired flag and it will be picked up for proper disposal. The Scout Hut is also open every Tuesday evening from 7-8:30 if you prefer to leave it in the hands of a scout.

Flags that are “Made in America,” can be expensive depending upon the size, so please use tact if you notice a tattered one at a business. For home and business use, flags “Made in America” may be purchased at the Office Center located on Hwy 259 in Kilgore.

Ms. Burrhus now serves her country in Gautama Bay. “DON’T FORGET ABOUT OUR CONCERT at Forest Home Baptist Church,” writes Penny Clark last week. The Purple Hulls will be entertaining at The Dodge House on Saturday evening (reservations only due to space availability) and will be in concert Sunday evening at 6 p.m. at the church. The public is welcome to attend.

Just how difficult can it be to drive an 18-wheeler?

John Mumby, lead instructor with Kilgore’s Center for Transportation Safety unit, makes it look easy. For the uninitiated, simply accelerating enough to reach the turn in the first place can prove difficult.

Mumby leads students in courses on safety and emergency management while behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler.

“We’re geared towards driving safety, rather than just teaching people how to drive the truck,” he said.

Center for Transportation Safety teaches improved truck-driving skills in all 50 states and in four foreign countries.

The class begins with three exams, on which students must make a grade of 80 or higher before making it behind the wheel and in the simulation chair. The simulation is a $75,000 virtual rig that features the wheel, pedals and levers required to handle an 18-

wheeler, and Mumby has direct control of the virtual world.

“The simulation is geared towards how you would handle tough situations,” he said. “I can make a tire go flat; I can make a child run out in front. It’s a very controlled environment. I can make anything on here.”

Of course, a simulation where no real damage is possible is not quite the same as the real thing. Students must also learn to inspect their vehicles by memory, and participate in a number of driving exercises.

“They spend over 100 miles a day on the open road,” Mumby said.

Driving exercises, such as parallel parking, are also performed in the parking lot where the simulation truck is located off Main Street “It’s easier to parallel park in a truck than in a car,” Mumby said.

“There’s a formula for parallel parking a big truck. There’s no formula for cars.”

Mumby believes the hardest part of the course is for a student to overcome his or her worry and operate properly.

“The hardest part is building a

+

student’s confidence, getting the nervous thoughts out, Mumby said. “Once you build better confidence, they’re able to focus on the mechanics of the truck.”

Each course lasts about three weeks; the first two are 120 hours that focuses on the training students need to survive on the road.

The final week is about 50 hours of learning, and shows students

more advanced skills. Those who perform well during the course may receive their commercial driver’s license.

“If you don’t function here, you don’t get your license,” Mumby said.

KC awards four piano students

Chandler Elementary nurse Penny White speaks with a parent Thursday afternoon at Chandler’s annual Meet the Teacher event.

Just a few days from the fall semester, Kilgore College’s piano division awarded scholarships to four returning sophomores.

“Basically, these scholarships are awarded for their skills and what they’ve accomplished over the summer,” said KC head of piano instruction, Sandra Siler, who explained students are given piano assignments in May to continue to learn and keep their skills sharp.

The four sophomores showed off their abilities and summer advancement Wednesday afternoon in Siler’s classroom.

Siler judged each student’s performance alongside Martha Paul Bennett, and then the pair selected which student would win which award.

Brittany Crowe was awarded the Van Cliburn scholarship, See SCHOLARSHIPS, Page 2B

A WORD PLEASE JUNE CASAGRANDE

Political season means happy hunting for grammar geeks Say what you will about election season.

But for some people, it’s a boon. Poised to profit from the nonstop bickering and blustering are network advertising sales reps, political pundits, ear plug manufacturers, comedy writers and liquor stores.

Add professional language geeks to the lists. Since the days when

Dan Quayle extended a welcome to “President Bush, Mrs. Bush and my fellow astronauts," elections have been a time when a candidate’s every little word gets pounced on, scrutinized and criticized – much to the glee of nitpickers like me.

Not long ago, there was fun to be had with the Romney camp’s misspelling of “America.” Now

the Obama slogan “Forward.” is drawing criticism. Or at least it’s drawing reports that it’s drawing criticism. As with any news item, you can never be sure how much “reaction” took place before reporters started calling experts asking for their reaction.

Don’t see what’s wrong with the slogan? It’s not those quotation marks. Those are mine, used to indicate that I’m quoting the slogan. Nor is the word misspelled.

Though it’s easy to confuse “for-

+

ward,” which is a direction, with “foreword,” which comes at the beginning of a book, the Obama campaign team got it right.

The problem with the slogan: the period.

“Those who brandish red pens for a living are divided on whether Mr. Obama’s campaign slogan passes muster,” the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month in an article about the period. Some experts, the newspaper reported, dubbed it gramCMYK

matically incorrect because “Forward." is not a complete sentence.

Others, like UC Berkeley linguistics professor George Lakoff, say it is correct because “Forward.” is an imperative sentence.

Actually, they’re all wrong.

Let’s start with the idea that “Forward.” is an imperative sentence.

In grammar, an imperative is a command. “Pass the sugar.” It’s See WORD, page 2B

+

LIFESTYLES

KILGORE NEWS HERALD ◆ PAGE 2B

WORD

Continued from Page 1B

distinguished from declarative sentences, which are statements. “Joe passes the sugar.” And it’s different from interrogative sentences, which are questions. “Did Joe pass the sugar?”

In the imperative form “Pass the sugar,” Joe is nowhere to be found because imperatives leave the subject implied.

That’s not a problem because the subject is always the same. It’s “you.” When you say, “Pass the sugar,” the subject of the action is always an implied “you.”

To qualify as complete, a sentence must have a subject and a verb. Paul quit. Ice cream melts. Jesus wept. So imperatives, which leave the subject implied, are the only ones that can be complete sentences with just one word.

Go. Eat. March.

But is “Forward.” an imperative sentence? No. “Forward” is usually an adjective or an adverb. It can, at times, be a verb, for example in “You should forward that email.” But according to Webster’s New World College Dictionary it is exclusively a transitive verb, which means it needs an object. So “Forward.” alone doesn’t make any more sense than “Make.” or “Reveal.” They raise the questions: Reveal what? Make what? Forward what?

So “Forward.” is not a complete sentence. Which brings us to the other criticism of the Obama slogan: Because “Forward.” Is not a complete sentence, it’s an error to end it with a period.

As just about anyone who’s ever read a book knows, this just isn’t so. A unit of speech need not be a complete sentence to end with a period. Single words do so all the time, even in the best and most respected writing. They’re called sentence fragments. “It is possible, in good usage, to write fragments,” Garner’s Modern American Usage explains.

So the Obama camp’s period wasn’t wrong. Period. But, personally, I think it was a bad call. The punctuation mark looks funny and adds nothing. Which may be why it’s been disappearing from some of the campaign’s printed materials ever since.

SCHOLARSHIPS

Continued from Page 1B

NEWS HERALD photo by AUSTIN KING

Sandra Siler (back, center) and Martha Paul Bennett recently judged Kilgore College piano students and awarded scholarships to four: (from left) Brittany Crowe, Alan Zamarron, Amber Burgett and Radiance Williams.

Amber Burgett was awarded the Anne Dean Turk scholarship, Alan Zamarron received the Steve and Sandy Siler scholarship and Radiance Williams was granted the Martha Paul Bennett scholarship.

All four teach in the KC piano preparatory division to children and adults of all ages, and they participated in the KC Piano Ensemble earlier this year.

According to Siler, scholarships such as these are invaluable to these students, given how much daily practice time she requires of them – often four hours – which limits a student’s ability to work and raise money for tuition.

“Most of the time, they can’t because they have to study, and I have them practice four hours a day,” Siler said. “They’re working all day long; they see a lot of me.”

This year, the piano department has 50 students. This also marks the first year Siler will teach dual-credit music appreciation courses at Henderson High School.

“These are applied students who are expected to work diligently,” Siler said.

Back to school tips +

Getting a new school year off to a good start can influence children’s attitude, confidence, and performance both socially and academically. The transition from August to September can be difficult for both children and parents. Even children who are eager to return to class must adjust to the greater levels of structure, activity, and some pressures associated with school life. The degree of adjustment depends on the child, but parents can help their children manage the increased pace of life by planning ahead, being realistic, and maintaining a positive attitude. Here are a few suggestions to help ease the transition and promote a successful school experience.

Let your children know you care. If your child is anxious about school, send personal notes in the lunch box or book bag.

Children absorb their parent’s anxiety, so model optimism and confidence for your child. Let your child know that it is natural to be a little nervous anytime you start something new but that your child will be just fine once he or she becomes familiar with the school routine.

Do not overreact. If the first few days are a little rough, try not to over react. Young children in particular may experience separation anxiety or shyness initially but teachers are trained to help them adjust. If you drop them off, try not to linger. Reassure them that you love them, will think of them during the day, and will be back. Give your child a family photo or special object to take to school to make his or her surroundings more comfortable.

Remain calm and positive. Acknowledge anxiety over a bad experience the previous year that may have occurred.

Children who had a difficult time academically or socially or were teased may be more fearful or reluctant to return to school. If you have not yet done so, share your child’s concern with the school and confirm that the problem has been handled. Reassure your child that the problem has been addressed, and that you and the school are working together to prevent further issues.

Reinforce your child’s ability to cope. Give your child a few strategies to manage a difficult situation on his or her own, but encourage your child to tell you or the teacher if the problem persists. Maintain open lines of communication with the school.

Take time to listen to your child and discuss aspects of the school day. Remember to let your child know that it’s normal to feel nervous about the start of school. Give your child positive feedback about his or her new experiences. Praise and encourage your child to become involved with school activities and try new things. Be interested and enthusiastic about the start of the school year. If you are confident and excited, your child will be too.

Keep income producers working hard ... even when rates are low

Next week, we observe Labor Day, which honors all the hardworking men and women in the United States. As an investor, you’d like to think that all your investments are working hard, too — including the ones that are producing income.

But can your income-oriented investments be productive when short-term interest rates are at historic lows? Or can you find other investment possibilities that could potentially boost your cash flow?

The answer to both these questions is “yes” — but you may have to take a closer look at where you stand on the risk-reward spectrum.

For example, you might need to consider longer-term income producers, which typically pay higher yields than shorter-term equivalents. Longer-term fixed-rate securities, such as bonds, must pay these higher rates to reward investors, who face both interestrate risk — the possibility that interest rates will rise, causing the value of existing bonds to fall — and inflation risk, the threat of losing purchasing power by the time long-term bonds have matured.

Still, you may be willing to accept these risks in exchange for the higher yields.

However, you may be looking

HOROSCOPE

for income producers that can work hard for you without having to hold them for a long period to maturity. This is because the “yield curve” — the line that plots the relationship between yield and maturity — is fairly steep right now, which, in English, means you can gain noticeably higher yields just by modestly increasing the maturity of your investments. Your financial advisor can suggest some shortterm and intermediate-term vehicles that may be appropriate for your needs. And while these rates will still not be as high as those offered by longer-term vehicles, they do offer flexibility — along with less interest-rate risk and inflation risk.

You can also help protect yourself from these risks by building a “ladder” consisting of short-, intermediate- and longer-term bonds and certificates of deposit (CDs). Once you’ve built your ladder, it can help you weather changing interest-rate environments.

When market rates are low, you’ll still have your longer-term bonds and CDs earning higher interest rates. And when market rates rise, you’ll be able to reinvest your maturing short-term investments at the higher levels. If you need the

FORECAST FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH A responsibility requires your attention, though it could be quite pleasant. Whether you are visiting with an older friend or relative, or bringing others together for an event, people naturally seem to interact with you. Follow your instincts; they probably are righton. Tonight: Plan out tomorrow. This Week: Business first.

Network from Wednesday on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Keep reaching out for someone who can be flaky at times. A partner also could be feisty; let it go for now. You clearly see life from a different perspective, and therefore are able to respond to a key person in your own way. Tonight: Consider taking an “escape” weekend. This Week: Seek out new information.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Make a point to connect with someone important in your life on a one-on-one level. Try to have a discussion that you have been putting off, yet be willing to hear and internalize the other side. You might think you know why someone acts in a certain manner, but you cannot know for sure. Tonight: With a favorite person. This Week: Talk with key individuals directly to get an idea of where they stand. Look for different solutions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be questioning your options. You might want to mix together different friends and loved ones from various walks of life. Remember, they all have a common denominator — you — and therefore do have something in common. Tonight: Host a spontaneous get-together. This Week: Defer to others and watch what happens. Remember, it is not nice to laugh at others’ mishaps.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Pace yourself, as you might have a lot to do. A roommate or family member clearly wants you to help or pitch in. You have little choice if you would like to keep the peace. You’ll change plans and adapt to someone’s schedule. Tonight: Put your feet up.

This Week: Charge into a project and get it done. There is so much to do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Tap into your imagination, and know what you would like to happen. Keeping that in mind, try to think of different paths to your goals.

Share some of these ideas with a friend you often can bounce ideas off of. Tonight: Brainstorm away. This Week: You stop people in their tracks. Your creativity and uniqueness are stunning qualities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Stay close to home; most of today’s action takes place where you live. You also might need some extra R and R. Curb a tendency to spend money when you become upset. It might work in the here and now, but not in the long run. Try to avoid internalizing your anger. Tonight: Make it as easy as possible. This Week: If you must stay close to home, do. By Wednesday, you’ll bolt out the door.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Don’t stand on ceremony; make a call to a forlorn friend. You will feel much better as a result. Accepting this person as he or she is is important for both of you. Adjust plans to accommodate a special invitation that comes up. Tonight: Catch up on emails. This Week: Investigate what seems off and trust your judgment. Think carefully before expressing a theory.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Be aware of others’ boundaries, as well as your own. Honor them if you want to stay out of trouble. If you become angry about a situation, look at what you could have done to prevent this issue. Take responsibility. Tonight: Treat a friend or loved one to dinner. This Week: You must deal with your finances directly. Late Tuesday, move in the appropriate direction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHHH You will do whatever you need to gain the support of one person or several people. For some, a smile is enough. For others, you might have to prove something important. Be willing to adapt your plans, especially if a special invitation appears.

Tonight: It is your call. This Week: You are Mr. or Ms. Popularity. You also are efficient.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH Be willing to claim your space, and try not to respond to a demanding person.

You usually are there for him or her. It might not have occurred to this person that he or she is as demanding as it appears. Be willing to gently approach the topic. Tonight: Not to be found. This Week: Lay low until late Tuesday, when you hit your power days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Follow your friends, and you can’t go wrong. You might think you won’t enjoy what the activity is, but the camaraderie will be worth it.

Make time for a call to someone you treasure but who is not often available. Tonight: Pursue your goals. This Week: Zero in on what you want. If the first try doesn’t work, do not give up.

cash, you can liquidate the maturing bonds and CDs. Thus far, we’ve only looked at fixed-rate investments — but you may also be able to boost your income by owning dividend-paying stocks. Some companies have paid — and even increased — their stock dividends for many years in a row. If you’re not in need of the cash, you can reinvest the dividends and boost your ownership stake, which is a key to increasing your wealth. But if you do need the money, you can take the dividends as cash. Keep in mind that income producers are not a “sure thing” because companies can decide to reduce, or even discontinue, their dividends at any time. In addition, history tells us that you may experience more price volatility from stocks, and they can be worth more or less than the original investment when sold.

As you can see, you can find ways to keep income-producing investments working hard for you, despite the prevailing low interest rates. So consider your options, weigh the risks — and then work with your financial advisor to make those choices that are right for you.

MINISTER’S MOMENT

Iliotibial band syndrome causes knee pain

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I run with a group of 30- to 40year-olds, and have been doing so on most days of the week.

I’ve done this for two years and feel like I am in better condition than I have ever been.

However, I have developed pain on the side of my right knee. One of our runners is a volunteer trainer for the local high school. He is certain I have iliotibial band syndrome. He told me to stop running for three weeks. Will you give me more information on this? Do you agree with the diagnosis?

— H.S. ANSWER: The iliotibial band is a wide strip of tough tissue that runs down the side of the leg from the pelvic bone all the way to the bone of the lower leg. It has many functions. It assists in movements of the hip and in bending and straightening the leg. It also provides protection to the thigh muscles, and it stabilizes the knee.

Iliotibial band syndrome is an overuse injury. Has your group increased the distance it runs?

That’s the usual story — an increase in running distance. The pain of iliotibial band syn-

drome is on the outer side of the knee. Most who suffer from it believe they’ve injured their knee.

All overuse injuries call for rest. It’s the most important aspect of treatment. For severe knee pain, a knee immobilizer should be worn for three days.

Icing the painful area three times a day for 20 minutes relieves the inflammation that causes pain. Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (Aleve, Advil and the many others) can be used as needed. Tylenol is a good pain reliever. In instances when none of these works, a doctor can inject the painful area with a cortisone drug.

It takes four or more weeks for this injury to heal. When you’re free of pain, start running, but do so at a modified distance. While you’re recovering, you can do other exercises that don’t stress the band.

Swimming is an example. You might tolerate biking.

I believe your friend is quite capable of making a diagnosis.

However, I’d feel more confident if you consulted a doctor.

Other injuries produce pain similar to the pain of iliotibial band syndrome.

JOYMAKERS Rhodes Family entertains at group’s August gathering

Jesus gives us confidence in His church

Americans’ confidence in religious institutions is at an all time low, a recent Gallup poll indicates. Only 44% of those Gallup surveyed expressed a “great deal” of confidence in organized religion. Yet, the poll also suggests that that lack of confidence does not affect religion’s importance to peoples’ lives. We might like the confidence to be higher and wonder if that relationship is right when it comes to Christ’s Church.

Christians’ faith is in their Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Who died and rose to give them the forgiveness of sins.

They receive His forgiveness in His Church, His Bride, Whom He loved, and for Whom He gave Himself up, having cleansed Her by the washing of water and the Word (Baptism), so that She might be holy (Ephesians 5:25-27).

In the Nicene Creed, Christians confess that Church’s holiness as an article of faith, but the world does not see that Church as we confess it to be.

Instead, the church is seen as consisting of sinners. No won-

Also, Charles and Carolyn Wimberly, G.W. and Elaine Woodmansee, Avil and Joy Murphy, Elaine Campbell, James and Iwana Keith, Bill and Glenda Ward, Pat Norvell, Marti Monk, Lou Hanks, Howard and Bonnie Gibson and Diane McGlasson.

Everyone joined hands in a circle and sang “Blest Be the Tie” for dismissal. The next meeting will be Sept. 11.

DR. JAYSON GALLER

CROSSWORD

der that Gallup points both to the 1980s’ televangelist scandals and to the 2000s’ Roman Catholic sex abuse scandals as blows to Americans’ confidence in organized religion.

When Christians recognize that the Church’s true holiness is somewhat hidden in the world, their confidence in that religious institution should not waiver, for the Church’s true holiness depends on Christ. Nor should Christians think that they can be holy individuals and remain believers if they are not connected to the Church, for apart from the Church there is no salvation.

While the Church is somewhat hidden in the world, She is also revealed. She can be identified by the pure preaching of the Gospel and the right administration of the Sacraments.

In and with that Church, believers do not give up meeting together (Hebrews 10:24-25).
