Lynchburg City Schools joined others
around the state and the nation this month
by enacting a Student-Athlete concussion
management policy. Te move follows the
Student-Athlete Protection Act, passed
unanimously by the General Assembly and
signedintolawbyGovernorBobMcDonnell
in April, which requires local school systems
toimplementconcussionrelatedpoliciesand
proceduresbyJulyofthisyear.
Lynchburgs concussion policy consists
of three parts, following the guidelines laid
down by the state. Tis frst part states that
a student must turn-in a signed permission
slip confrming that their parents or guard-
ians have received an informational packet
concerning concussions. Te permission slip
must be submitted for all physical extra-cur-
ricularactivitieseachyearbeforethestudent
willbeallowedtoparticipate.
Te second part details that any student
whosufersaconcussionorotherbraininjury
mustberemovedfromplayandevaluatedbya
coachortrainer.Oncediagnosed,thestudent
will not be able to return to play for at least
onedayandwouldrequireanotefromadoc-
tor, or other licensed health care provider, to
resumeparticipation.Tethirdpartstipulates
thataconcussionmanagementmanualwillbe
includedintheStudent-AthleteHandbook.
Tenewpolicywaspassedunanimouslyin
Junebytheschoolboard,whoapplaudedthe
newstepstakentoensurestudentsafety.
Virginias move to combat concussions in
student-athletes follows in the footsteps of
many professional sports organizations hop-
ing to provide a safer environment for their
players. While additional precaution when it
comestoheadinjuriesappearswell-meaning,
many close to the sports have criticized the
newconcussionpoliciesforgoingtoofarand
detractingfromthegame.
Te National Football League led the way
when they began ramping-up their concus-
sion policy as early as 2009. Since then the
policyhadbecomemoreandmorestrict.Ina
Mayvote,theNFLs32ownersagreedunani-
mously to enact new rules concerning illegal
hits. Any player who launches himself from
both feet upwards towards an opponent will
bepenalized15yardsandfned.Whilemany
worriedthatsuchruleswouldtakeawayfrom
thephysicalityofthegame,thoseinvolvedin
the recent decision argue that there are still
manylegalwaysinwhichplayerscanhiteach
other.
Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Michael
Vick, who visited Lynchburg in June to raise
moneyforlocalyouthfootballteams,recently
revealed his new role as spokesperson for a
newgenerationofhelmetpaddingbyUnequal
Technologies. Vick wore Unequals pads for
most of last season, and credits their protec-
tionforkeepinghiminthegameasmuchas
possibledespitemultipleinjuries.
Perhaps the most important aspect of the
Unequal padding is the EXO Skeleton Head
Armor, a helmet insert said to absorb the
impact of blows to the head, thus reducing
concussions. Any interested athletes, or con-
cernedparents,canordertheproductthrough
thecompanyswebsitefor$49.95.
In addition to Vick, the padding was worn
by some of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Bos-
tonBruinsduringtheSuperBowlandStanly
Cup fnals respectively. No word on whether
NathanHortonoftheBruinswaswearingUn-
equal padding when he took a hospitalizing
hitingamethreeoftheCup.

Rule 48 states it is illegal to check another

Accordingtotheleague,however,only17per-

sport worry that rule 48 will change the na-
ture of the game. For those not familiar with
professional hockey, theres fghting, check-

PooreandTreneyTweedytorepresent
District 1, 2 and 3 respectively on the
Lynchburg City School Board. Te
motion came from Council Member
Turner Perrow during role call, who
expressed his dismay that more citi-
zenshadnotsteppedforwardtoserve

Tweedy and Dolan-Sewall are both
currently serving on the board. Te
city received no other bids for their
positions.
Jennifer Poore, an active parent in
the schools and member of the Heri-
tageHighSchooltaskforce,submitted
a bid for school board last year. After
a round of interviews conducted by
council,currentschoolboardmember
Marie Waller was chosen for the po-
sition. Council felt that based on this

pool of applicants, they had enough
information to appoint Poore to the

At the frst June meeting of the Lynchburg

mentofapollingplaceatLibertyUniversitys
Vines Center to be used by a new precinct
madeupofonlyon-campusLUstudents.Te
creation of the on-campus polling place was
motivated by the over-crowding experienced
atHeritageElementaryduringpastelections.
To meet districting guidelines, the city of

proposed plan accomplishes this by moving
all members in precinct III-2 to Ward II cre-

Chairman Falcone reassured Mayor Foster
and her concerned constituents that the new

comprised of only LU students. He also ex-
plainedthatthereisnoconfictofeitherLUs

Tis was not in any way an efort to show
favoritism towards any group at all. It was
simply to relieve pressure from Heritage El-

Beware of Business
Credit Cards

The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and
Disclosure (CARD) Act of 2009 was supposed to protect
consumers from changing interest rates, unreasonable
fees and the insecurity from not knowing from one month
to the next what new fees and penalties the credit-card
companies would come up with. The Pew Charitable
Trusts, a branch of the nonpartisan, civic-minded Pew
Research Center, has released a Safe Credit Cards
Project report warning about the ways credit-card com-
panies are getting around the rules.
To get around the restrictions of the CARD Act, credit-
card companies have simply changed the name of the
cards theyre issuing. Theyre now called business or
corporate credit cards. Business credit cards were
never intended to be covered by the act, so none of the
new rules apply. Far too many consumers have been
taken in, assuming theyre protected when theyre not.
Getting one of these cards isnt hard: Business or com-
mercial cards are being promoted not only to businesses
and corporations, but to consumers, just as the regular
consumer cards were.
According to the Pew report, some 10 million offers for
business credit cards are sent out every month.
Here are some comparisons, with Protected indicating
the coverage of personal credit cards under the Act.
Protected: Terms cannot change during the first year,
and 45 days notice must be given before terms change.
Business: Terms can change at any time.
Protected: Penalty interest rates cannot be applied to
existing balances.
Business: Penalty interest rates can be applied at any
time, effective immediately, with no notice, to any bal-
ance.
Protected: Penalty fees must be reasonable, and can-
not exceed the violation itself.
Business: Penalty fees are unrestricted.
Protected: Payments over the minimum must be ap-
plied to the highest rate balance first.
Business: Payment may be applied to lowest rate bal-
ances, which lets high-rate balances accrue interest.
If you receive a mailing or application offering one of
these credit cards, read the fine print -- twice. Go online
a pull up a copy of the CARD Act and compare item for
item what your new card would offer versus the protec-
tions of regular cards.
Remember: With business credit cards, your interest
rate could change overnight, and you cant do a thing
about it -- except pay the debt.

Know-It-All
For every person who thinks they know it all when it
comes to the world of sports, you can rest assured that
there are plenty of others who could: 1) care less, or 2)
care about the stuff most of the know-it-alls could care
less about.
Im not sure if the Village Voice still runs the column,
but for years readers of the famed Greenwich Village
alternative weekly could read uni-watch -- a diatribe or
dictation of uniforms and who wore them from the world
of sports. (A big hit was the New York Rangers decision
to sport the Statue of Liberty and lace-up jerseys ... and,
of course, pinstripes were always the fashion.)
Andrew Postman, in his seminal Sports Know It All,
posits the 40 things worth knowing about sports, late
night, in a bar. Among my favorites: When the India-
napolis 500 began, two people rode in the car -- a driver
and the mechanic. (Also, relief drivers were common.)
In tennis, if the server hits either of his opponents dur-
ing a doubles match on the fly, the serving team wins
the point. (Why nobody uses this as a tactic, Ill never
know.)
There is a World Elephant Polo Association, based
out of Chitwan, Nepal. (Naturally.)
If a greyhound catches the mechanical rabbit, its
considered a no race (and mechanical difficulty is usu-
ally the culprit.)
Former Minnesota Vikings coach Bud Grant, famous
for the ignominious distinction of having led his team
to four losing efforts in the Super Bowl, was once a big
winner: He played for the championship 1949-50 Min-
neapolis Lakers.
Think todays baseball games are long? Foul balls
werent counted as strikes until 1901 in the National
League and 1903 in the American League. (The excep-
tions were a foul bunt or foul tips.)
The maximum number of golf clubs youre allowed
to carry during a golf match is 14. (Particularly if youre
playing by the strict English rules, Goldfinger.)
During the prohibition-era Los Angeles Olympics of
1932, the French team was granted special permission
to drink wine on the grounds that it was an essential
part to their diet. (And, of course, a good source of anti-
oxidants if taken in moderation.)
The first televised sporting event was a college base-
ball game in Japan, circa 1931.
The original suggested name for basketball? Naismith
Ball, so named after the games alleged inventor.
And lastly, not one of the top-40 picks but an interest-
ing piece of trivia nonetheless. All thoroughbred horses
in the world today are descendants of at least one of
three stallions: Darley Arabian, Byerly Turk and Godol-
phin Barb.
Take this knowledge and go forth among the masses
of stat geeks, content in the knowledge that now you too
... probably have too much time on your hands.

The Word
Separation of Church
and State Church
By Pastor Mike Kirby
TisMemorialDayweekendIhadtherare
opportunity to spend time with both sides
ofmyfamilyatthesametime.AsIwassit-
ting and chatting at the dining room table
with both my mother and my in-laws, the
conversationturnedtothesubjectofchurch.
AsaseniorpastorofachurchinLynchburg,
this was not a subject that I was foreign to.
Te details of the conversationare fuzzy
butI doremember saying the words Old
School, out of touch,and dated when I re-
ferred to individuals or churches. I knewI
wassounding like an arrogant young punk,
butforsomereasonIcouldnthelpmyself.I
feltthe need to separatemyself from certain
types of churches/Christian. I wanted to
be extra certain that I was not mistaken for
one of those other types. I realized that
this was not the frst timeI havehad this
conversation. I have found myself want-
ing to distinguishmyself,my faith, andmy
beliefs fromother Christians,denomina-
tionsand even churches within my own
denomination. For the most part, I want
people to know that I dont burn Korans, I
donthaveendoftheworldpredictions,and
Idontpicketwellanything.Butthereare
other distinction I want to make for myself
andhaving found that many churches are
doing the same thing, it eased my guilt for
while. Instead ofpresenting a stark difer-
ence between the Christian churchverse
other religions, many churchesdescriptive
advertising words that describe theirchurch
versusother church. Churchsuch words
suchas contemporary,traditional, lively,
vibrant, heart-felt,casual, or relevantto de-
scribethemselves.Ifwestopandthinkabout
each of these descriptive words, mostare
usedtoseparatethemselvesfromtheircom-
petitorsImeanfellowChristians.Tosaya
church is lively and vibrant, means that we
arent dead like the church acrossthe street;
heart-feltimplies the church isnt cold or
stern; casual instead of stufy or laid back;
and relevantinstead of pointless and out of
touch.Evenmyownchurchsslogansuggests
to separate, Real People, Real Passion, Real
Faithversephonypassionlessfaithlessfolks.
My recent conversationwith my fam-
ily made me realize my stigmatismof being
groupedinandincludedwithcertaingroups
of people who believe much like I believe.
Tismademetakealonglookatmyselfand
they way I practice my faith.Am I called
to separateor to restore. Am I called to el-
evate myself or to humbly serve. Am Ito
despisethose who may makeme and every
otherChristianlookbadoramItoloveand
forgivethem.
If I and myfellow believers from the
churches all over this city could only realize
how much we need eachother. Instead of
separatingourselvesbypushingothersdown
and fghting overslight diferences (OK
someareveryBIGdiferences,butyouknow
what I mean),maybe we can take a long
look at whatwe really need to be fghting
hunger,poverty,slavery,bigotry,andhatred.
Maybe the church down the street may be
tootraditionalformytasteandtheymight
fnd metoo contemporary (what ever that
means), butif we boundtogether, we could
fx more broken families, broken homes,
andbrokenhearts.Togetherwecouldbuild
His (Gods) Kingdom and letHim build our
churches. I am confdentGod can elevate
our churches farhigher than we can elevate
ourselvesbypushingothersdown.

if youre in an emotional pressure cooker, but the
situation is about to change in your favor. Take
time out for some well-earned fun.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A shift in your work-
place responsibilities creates resentment among
some co-workers. Deal with it before it becomes
a threat to your success on the job.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Expect
some surprises in what you thought was one of
your typically well-planned schedules. Deal with
them, and then enjoy some lighthearted enter-
tainment.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be careful:
What appears to be a solid financial opportunity
might have some hidden risks attached. A hazy
personal matter needs to be cleared up.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Its
a good time to strengthen ties with family and
friends. You might feel unsure about a recent
workplace decision, but time will prove you did
the right thing.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21)
Just when you thought your relationship was
comfortable and even predictable, your partner
or spouse could spring a potentially life-changing
surprise on you.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your
usually generous self is overshadowed by your
equally strong suspicious nature. You might be
judging things too harshly. Keep an open mind.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love
and romance dominate the week. Married Aquar-
ians enjoy domestic harmony, while singles could
soon be welcoming overtures from loving Leos.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) An old health
problem recurs, but it is soon dealt with, leaving
you eager to get back into the swing of things. A
favorable travel period starts this week.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have an independent
spirit that resists being told what to do. But youre
also wise enough to appreciate good advice.

Three-Cheese Pizza
This recipe features three cheeses with distinctly
different textures and flavors -- delicate, fresh
mozzarella, creamy ricotta and chewy Pecorino
Romano.
1 pound fresh pizza dough
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, coarsely
shredded
1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1. Prepare outdoor grill for covered, direct grilling
on medium-low.
2. Cut dough into 4 equal pieces. On one end of
oiled cookie sheet, with fingertips, spread and flat-
ten 1 piece of dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
(Edge does not need to be even.) On same cookie
sheet, repeat with another piece of dough. Repeat
with a second oiled cookie sheet and remaining
dough.
3. Place all 4 pieces of dough, oiled side down,
on hot grill grate. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until grill
marks appear on underside (dough will stiffen and
puff).
4. With tongs, turn crusts over. Working quickly, top
crusts with mozzarella; then dollop with ricotta and
sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese and pepper.
Cover grill and cook pizzas 3 to 4 minutes longer
or until undersides are evenly browned and cooked
through.
5. Transfer to cutting board; sprinkle tops of pizzas
with parsley. Cut into wedges. Makes 4 servings.
Tip: Look for fresh pizza dough in the dairy section
of your supermarket, usually sold near the tortillas.
(Frozen pizza dough is also available, but it takes
several hours to thaw before it can be used.) Or you
can purchase dough from a local pizzeria; theyll
usually sell it to you in 1-pound balls if you ask.

It was philosopher, historian, mathemati-
cian and Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Rus-
sell who made the following sage observa-
tion: In all affairs its a healthy thing now and
then to hang a question mark on the things
you have long taken for granted.
The giant Pacific octopus, the largest
octopus in the world, is a prolific breeder.
Extremely prolific. The female lays approxi-
mately 56,000 eggs, all at once. And since,
according to experts, the population is sta-
ble, of those 56,000 eggs, only two survive
to reproduce.
It was Franklin Pierce, the 14th president
of the United States, who ordered the White
Houses first bathtub in the 1850s.
Harry Houdini is best known as a magician
and an escape artist, but he also performed
amazing stunts. In the early days of aviation,
he flew in an airplane to an altitude of 3,000
feet, then jumped off the plane onto another
one -- while wearing handcuffs.
A recent study conducted by researchers
at a university in Sweden found that if a per-
son has to commute longer than 45 minutes
to work, he or she is 40 percent more likely
to get divorced.
There are more languages and dialects
spoken in India than in any other country in
the world: in excess of 1,600 at last count.
If youre planning a trip to Marrakesh,
Morocco, be sure to visit the Koutoubiya
minaret. In 1195 Sultan Yakub al Mansur
commanded that the minaret be built in
thanksgiving for a military victory, and the
tower is lovely. The structures unique attri-
bute, however, is not visible -- its olfactory.
When the minaret was being built, 960 sacks
of musk were mixed in with the mortar, and
the odor can still be detected today.
Thought for the Day: Those who can make
you believe absurdities can make you com-
mit atrocities. -- Voltaire
COLOR
On June 30, 1859, Jean-Francois Gravelet,
a Frenchman known professionally as Emile
Blondin, becomes the first daredevil to walk
across Niagara Falls on a tightrope. Wearing
pink tights and a yellow tunic, Blondin crossed
a cable about 2 inches in diameter and 1,100-
feet long with only a balancing pole to protect
him from plunging into the dangerous rapids
160 feet below.
On June 28, 1862, Confederate raiders make
a daring capture of a commercial vessel on
Chesapeake Bay. Conspirators boarded the
St. Nicholas as paying passengers with Rich-
ard Thomas Zarvona, a former student at West
Point, disguised as a flirtatious Frenchwoman.
On July 3, 1908, author Mary Frances Ken-
nedy Fisher is born in Albion, Mich. In 1937, her
first book, Serve It Forth, was published. She
produced nine more books on food, including
How to Cook a Wolf (1942) and The Gastro-
nomic Me (1943).
On July 1, 1951, Cleveland Indians ace Bob
Feller pitches the third no-hit game of his career
to lead the Indians over the Detroit Tigers 2-1.
This made him the first modern pitcher ever to
throw three no-hitters.
On June 29, 1967, blond-bombshell actress
Jayne Mansfield is killed instantly when the
car in which she is riding strikes the rear of a
trailer truck on I-90 east of New Orleans. The
cars driver likely couldnt see the truck due to a
nearby machine emitting a thick white fog used
to spray mosquitoes.
On July 2, 1977, Hollywood composer Bill
Conti scores a No. 1 pop hit with the single
Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky). Contis
career eventually included an Academy Award
for Best Original Score for the 1983 film The
Right Stuff.
On June 27, 1985, after 59 years, the iconic
Route 66 between Chicago and Los Angeles
enters the realm of history when the American
Association of State Highway and Transporta-
tion Officials decertifies the road and votes to
remove all its highway signs. Most of Route 66
followed a path forged through the wilderness
in 1857 by U.S. Navy Lt. Edward Beale at the
head of a caravan of camels.

Paying for Retirement
Is Major Concern
More and more of us are concerned about
how were going to pay for retirement, or
whether can retire at all, especially as the
economy has soured. The Society of Actuaries
recently issued a report entitled The Impact of
the Economy on Retirement Risks about how
were handling our fears.
Here are some facts its survey uncovered:
Nearly half of those polled who have not yet
retired are very concerned about retirement fi-
nances, much more so than ever before.
Two-thirds of retirees surveyed say their fi-
nances are worse than before the economy
took a downturn, with a quarter saying much
worse. For those not yet retired, the figures are
even higher. Those who banked on having re-
turn from investments have suffered from low
interest rates, and those who considered their
home a nest egg for retirement money are
hard hit.
A quarter of retirees fear they might need to
return to work, while two-thirds who havent re-
tired think theyll need to work longer.
People who havent yet retired have more con-
cerns than those who have already retired. The
major concerns are paying for long-term health
care, the falling value of investments, running
out of money, inability to maintain a standard of
living and not having anything to leave to heirs.
Seniors have more debt than they expected
to have at retirement. But if theres a retirement
strategy the majority agreed on, its this: Get rid
of consumer and mortgage debt before retire-
ment by paying off credit cards and cutting back
on spending for gifts, vacation and restaurants.
If you want to see how you compare to others
in this survey, go to www.soa.org and put the
name of the report in the quick search box.

Bed-Wetting Deeply
Affects Children
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Our grandson soon will
be 15. He still wets the bed. His parents have
done everything from pills to alarms, but noth-
ing helps. Sometimes he gets depressed, and
that scares us. He says he will never be able to
have a relationship with a girl. Sometimes we
worry that he will hurt himself. Is there anything
that can help this situation? -- W.M.
ANSWER: I feel deeply for your grandson. No one
can understand the isolation and hopelessness he
has to grapple with. He could stand professional
counseling. Perhaps a few facts will help him. Be-
tween the ages of 5 and 6, 15 percent to 20 percent
of children are still wetting the bed. Of that number,
every following year, 15 percent will stay dry during
the night. By age 18, only 1 percent to 2 percent of
these youngsters are still battling the problem. Your
grandson has three years in which his chances of
gaining control are good.
The problem of bed-wetting appears to stem from
a brain that doesnt respond to a full nighttime blad-
der by rousing the sleeper. It might be a delay in
developing that response. Or it might be a delay in
the attainment of a large enough bladder capacity
to hold nighttime urine production. Or it might be
that these children produce too little of the hormone
vasopressin, which suppresses nightly urine forma-
tion.
Your grandson can once more try things he prob-
ably has already tried. He should measure carefully
how much fluid he drinks in one day. Once he learns
that number, he should drink 40 percent of the total
in the morning, another 40 percent in the afternoon
and limit fluid to 20 percent of the daily total from
5 p.m. on. He can increase his bladders capacity
by holding off on urinating during the day. If he de-
lays each time by five or 10 minutes for one week
and then gradually lengthens the delay in following
weeks, the bladder will stretch. This takes time. He
has to be patient.
Alarms can work. They sound or vibrate when the
first few drops of moisture touch them. It can be as
long as six months of use before the training takes
hold.
For occasions when he is invited to stay at other
peoples homes for the night, desmopressin, as a
pill or nasal spray, slows nighttime urine produc-
tion.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am so concerned about
our grandson. He is a senior in college. He felt
he couldnt focus well enough on some of his
diffcult classes. He went to a doctor and was
put on Adderall. I am so worried that he will be-
come addicted. Should I be concerned? -- R.G.
ANSWER: Adderall is a drug of the amphetamine
family. It does have the potential of leading to de-
pendence. However, its been used for so many
years for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperac-
tivity disorder that it can be well managed and not
present a danger.
The doctor who prescribed the drug is responsible
for monitoring how it is used. He or she will continue
writing for its use only if its safe to do so.
I sincerely believe you do not have to worry your-
self about your grandson.
Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer in-
dividual letters, but he will incorporate them in his
column whenever possible. Readers may write him
or request an order form of available health newslet-
ters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
Women Vets Polled
on Health Care
The American Legion recently asked women
veterans about the health care provided by Depart-
ment of Veterans Affairs. While the survey indicates
an overall positive feeling, there is a lot of room for
improvement, especially when compared to civilian
health care.
Here are some of the results from the 67-question
survey:
Access: Approachable and easy to contact? One-
third of the women were dissatisfied, mostly with their
Women Veterans Program Manager, when it came
to getting information about gender-specific care.
One-quarter said the convenience of the locations is
poor.
Competence: Most respondents were satisfied
with the medical staffs level of knowledge and skills,
but one quarter werent, and thats a big percentage.
Reliability: Ability to perform services accurately
and dependably. Nearly one-third were dissatisfied
with VA health care, compared with their private doc-
tors.
Communication: Forty percent didnt feel that they
were given enough information on treatments and
procedures.
Responsiveness: Willingness to provide prompt
care. One-third responded that they were dissatis-
fied, compared with their civilian doctors.
Credibility: Believability and honesty of the staff.
Compared with their civilian doctors, many of the
women were dissatisfied. It was suggested that the
VA adopt some of the practices of private health
care.
Courtesy: Polite and friendly staff. Again, one-
quarter of respondents rated the VA as lacking in
this regard, and it was suggested that perhaps more
training of staff is required.
Finally, one-third of the women veterans who re-
plied to the survey dont know what all their benefits
are -- health care or otherwise.
While women veterans comprise a smaller per-
centage of service personnel, theyve earned the
right to good care. If nothing else, no veteran should
have to wonder what his or her benefits are.
