Kickers, World Pediatric Project team up for kidsThe Richmond Kickers, in conjunction

with The Virginia Group of Northwest-ern Mutual, are pleased to team up withRichmond-based World Pediatric Project,alongside HCA Health System and Com-monwealth Chapel to create a life-savingand life-changing opportunity for a teen-age boy from the small island of Grenada.

Rapheal suffered from a complex, po-tentially fatal condition called RheumaticHeart Fever. It badly damaged his heartand prevented him from running and play-ing like other teenagers.

Caused by untreated strep throat, thiscondition would have been quickly caughtor prevented in the United States. Like inmost developing countries, however, theexpertise and resources necessary to diag-nose and treat Rheumatic Heart Fever areunavailable in Grenada.

Fortunately, an organization exists tohelp children like Raphael. World PediatricProject arranged for him and his momMichelle to travel to CJW Medical Center– Chippenham, to receive life-saving careunder WPP pediatric volunteer Dr. JamesZocco who generously accepted the case.

Commonwealth Chapel in Richmondraised money to help make this possible.

Due to the complicated nature ofRaphael’s condition, Raphael’s treatmentrequired many weeks of intensive care be-fore and after corrective surgery. This wasquite a difficult time for Raphael and hismom, but made easier by the kindness andsupport of the WPP staff, volunteers, and,most importantly, CJW Medical Center’sdedicated and caring team of doctors andnurses.

After months of slow recovery, Raphaelwas finally discharged from the hospi-tal last week. The journey to health hadbeen a long one, and Raphael was slow tosmile or laugh until a surprise birthdaycelebration. To Raphael’s astonishment,Richmond Kickers professional player,Stanley Nyazamba, and Kickeroo attendedthe party to present Raphael with a specialKickers jersey. A huge soccer fan, Raphaelcouldn’t hide a huge grin, smiling for thefirst time following his long journey tohealth.

Raphael and Michelle will soon returnto Grenada, lives forever changed by the

HCA Health System, the Richmond Kick-ers and WPP. Raphael is growing strongereveryday, and looks forward to return-ing home to finish school and get back intouch with his friends and play soccer.

Richmond Kickers and The VirginiaGroup of Northwestern Mutual share a

mission of giving back to the Richmondcommunity, through the support of theWorld Pediatric Project, which helps toheal and save the lives of children fromdeveloping countries.

CONVOCATION page 2

BY LATIKA LEEspecial correspondent

Local government leaders fromthe four area jurisdictions willaddress clergy of metropolitanRichmond today at Richmond

Hill – the ecumenical Christian fellow-ship and residential community - for thesecond annual Metro Richmond ClergyConvocation.

The program, themed “KingdomCity”, is expected to attract a diversecrowd of clergy from all denominationsin the area who will convene to hearthe concerns of social services directorsand county government leaders, as wellas City of Richmond officials, and tolearn about what they see as the cur-rent top priorities and major issues thatare facing their individual localities.

“In the context of prayer and theword, we’ll look together at specificissues and gaps which face the peopleof God in metro Richmond area,” saidRev. Delmarshae Sledge, Associate Pas-tor at Richmond Hill, “We are trying tobe proactive.”

Situated on the crest of the ChurchHill neighborhood, Richmond Hill isan idyllic setting for the event. Its loca-tion as an urban retreat center over-looking downtown Richmond is set ina historic late 19th-century monastery,lending itself to opportunities for opendialogue, meditation, quiet or reflec-tion.

The Convocation is designed to giveclergy specific information for prayerand engagement for their congrega-tions in the region. Throughout theyear, one public ministry called “MetroRichmond at Prayer”, focuses on help-ing more than 375 churches work forthe healing of the city. It is a coopera-tive effort where each congregation isasked to pray together each Sunday forthe common concerns of the com-munity. During the month of October,churches are asked to pray for public,non-profit, and religious social servicework and ministries in metro Rich-mond.

Chesterfield County will be rep-resented during two morning panelsby County Administrator, James “Jay”Stegmaier, and Marsha Sharp, ActingDirector of Social Services for Ches-terfield/Colonial Heights. A number ofChesterfield County clergy are expectedto be in attendance as well, includingShawn Franco of Cornerstone Assem-bly of God, Margie Bell, Outreach Pas-tor of Mt. Gilead Full Gospel Church,as well as representatives of Church ofthe Epiphany Catholic, and CrestwoodPresbyterian Church.

Sledge said the administratorswill tell clergy what they see as thecommunity’s greatest needs and whatthey hope can be done to address them,while establishing a means of coop-eration with local religious bodies forservice and ministry.

Historic measure for Nunnally OakBY ELIZABETH [email protected]

Today, outside the Historic 1917 Court-house in Chesterfield, folks will gatherat 4 p.m. to take part in an activity ofsizeable proportions – to measure the

historic Nunnally Oak Tree.Several written accounts note that the tradi-

tion of measuring the white oak, a piece of liv-ing history, began in May of 1916 with JudgeSouthall participating in the ceremony. Butbefore the tape measure was pulled around thegirth of the tree that year, it had been growingfor at least 100 years.

According to Chesterfield County Police Of-ficer Rusty Lescault, who was researching po-lice department history when he came acrossthe tree’s historic roots, the oak was a plantedbefore any of the current structures were builtby a young teenage boy named Lawson Nun-nally in 1814. “It was during the middle of theWar of 1812,” Lescault said. “Think about it.The British are right down the road and hewas planting a tree.”

Lescault explained that Nunnally, who mayhave been 10 to 12 years old at the time ofthe sapling’s planting, served as an assistantdeputy clerk for the county’s court. “He wasan apprentice who would enter informationof births, deaths, and marriages. He became afamous banker in Richmond,” he said.

Lescault can only speculate to why thedecision was made to measure the tree every10 years since there is no record of the reasonbehind the 1916 event that recorded “itsmeasurements as part of Common Law OrderBook #9. “I think when they were laying thefoundation, it was one of the largest trees inthe area and Lawson Nunnally had planted it,”Lescault said. “We know the guy who plantedit and we’ve measured it for 100 years now,”

Lescault said.The unique history behind the nearly

200-year-old tree is that it has a record ofits beginnings. “It’s been nominated asone of the Remarkable Trees in Virginiabecause of its size, its age and also becauseof the history of it,” said Director of theCounty Cooperative Extension Office T.Michael Likins.

Likins recalled there are a lot of ru-mors that come with the history of thetree. When he first arrived to the job nineyears ago, a few residents had mentionedthat the tree was used for hanging back inNunnally’s youth. “Of course, they weretalking about the “hanging tree” 200 yearsago. Well, back then, it was a sapling andyou couldn’t of hung a birdhouse on it,”Likins said.

We’re going to follow the same protocolas we’ve always used

All they’re doing here is measuring thecircumference of the tree and using that

as a benchmark of how its growing ratherthan using a modern protocol we’re goingto go with the historic. They’ve used ropesin the past, but we’re going to be usingmeasuring tape. There are other metricsto be used to judge tree health, but we’regoing to stick with the historic.”

The first tree measuring ceremony in1916 placed the circumference at 11 feet,11 inches. The most recent measurementtaken in 2001, places the tree’s circumfer-ence at 17 feet, 2 inches. “This is a singlemeasurement that is consistent and they’redoing it the same way every ten years, sothe validity of it is there,” Likins said. “Tosay how well a tree is doing with a ropearound its waist, that’s not going to giveyou the whole picture … but it’s just abeautiful member of the county complex.”

The public is invited to attend the treemeasuring ceremonial event this after-noon.

Midlothianis a greatplace toplay, liveBY ELIZABETH [email protected]

This past weekend wasone long overduecelebration aboutthe good things our

community has to offer. TheVillage of Midlothian sparkledin the fall sun as Scouts, pag-eant queens, marching bands,and local businesses paradedup the turnpike in a grandfashion during the annualparade. The Mid-LothianMines and Rail Roads Parkshowcased the rich histori-cal heritage of our county’sindustrial innovation. Festivalswere packed at local schoolsas children and parents playedsimple games and enjoyed thecompany of neighbors. Therewere reunions that broughttogether lifelong friends andcreated new memories to becollected with cherished mo-ments from bygone days. Anda day of listening to grandmusic by the river was just theadded bonus to a gorgeousautumn weekend.

It was good medicine tospend time with family andfriends and embrace thecamaraderie. We have allplowed into our fall sched-ule and sometimes forget topause from the chaos of dailylife. It was a good reminderto have an appreciation of allthat our community has tooffer – and continues to offer– for our families.

And it is that pride in ourcommunity that resulted inChesterfield County beingrecognized for its fifth yearas America’s Promise Alli-ance 100 Best Communitiesfor Young People. HanoverCounty also received theaward. Of course, such posi-tive accolades are not basedon weekend events, but onthe achievements within ourschools and the involved,hard-working community.We have a lot to be thank-ful for as we enjoy this fall’sbountiful season.

Fraud targeting seniorcitizens is a growing con-cern as millions have fallenvictim to scammers. BetterBusiness Bureau encouragesfamilies to keep the linesof communication openwith their elders regardingfinances and to recognizesome common cons target-ing senior citizens.

According to a June2010 survey by InvestorProtection Trust, morethan 7.3 million seniorcitizens—roughly 20percent of Americans aged65 or older--already have“been taken advantage offinancially in terms of aninappropriate investment,unreasonably high fees forfinancial services, or out-right fraud.”

Having a conversationwith your elderly parentsabout how they are manag-ing their money is not easy,but it is extremely impor-tant in order to help protectthem from unscrupulouscrooks. Keep the lines ofcommunication openso that you can identifysuspicious spending habits,as well as educate yourelder family members onrecognizing the red flags ofcommon cons.

Let all seniors know thatthe Better Business Bureauserving Central Virginia hasa free Senior Fraud Hotlinenumber: (804) 780-2222.During business hoursseniors can talk with liveoperators about inquiriesor complaints related tofraudulent business prac-tices. The foundation sup-ports the hotline throughfinancial donations fromthe community.

Here are some quick tipsto keep in mind:

Don’t do business withsomeone who just shows upat your door. If you need tohire a contractor or repair-man, call the BBB for a listof accredited businesses.Never move forward withwork based on a verbalagreement. Insist on adetailed written contractand do not sign until youfully understand the terms.Be certain the company islicensed properly.

Never give personal orfinancial information to anunknown caller, and don’tprovide such informationfor unsolicited e-mail/In-ternet messages.

Check with BBB beforedealing with any companyor charity that you are notfamiliar with. Also checkwith family members,neighbors or friends.

Don’t yield to high-pres-sure or emotional salestactics. Read contractsthoroughly and seek advicefrom a relative or otheradvisor if you don’t under-stand it.

Never pay money to wina prize or enter a sweep-stakes, even if you are sent acheck and told to make thepayment from that check.

Keep careful recordsof your transactions suchas bank or credit cardstatements. Check themfor accuracy and shreddocuments thoroughlybefore throwing them away.Thieves can steal a person’sidentity from their trash.

Have your Social Securi-ty or pension benefit checksdirect deposited to reducethe possibility of ID theft.Also be careful not to leaveoutgoing bill payments inan unsecured mailbox. Takethem to the Post Officeyourself or have someonedo if for you if possible.

Be cautions of compa-nies that “guarantee” to getyou a loan modification orstop the foreclosure processand advise you not to con-tact your lender or housingcounselor.

Before making a dona-tion, take time to authen-ticate charities by checkingnames and reputations withthe BBB.

Never respond to work-at-home offers. Promisesof easy money often targetolder adults because theymay be looking to supple-ment their income. Thepitch might come in theform of an investmentopportunity that promisesbig returns, or as a way tomake money at home foran upfront cost. Regardlessof the specifics, the victimis offered what sounds likea great opportunity but theextra income never mate-rializes.

Be aware of bereavementscams. Scammers will oftentry to take advantage of theincreased vulnerability ofsenior citizens who haverecently lost a loved one,such as a spouse. In onerecent example, a motherand daughter team in Ohiowould find targets by scour-ing the obituaries. Theywould then call the widowor widower and claim thattheir spouse had outstand-ing debts that needed to bepaid immediately. Victimswould then provide a blankcheck or credit card.

On the eve of themost importantgame of their2011 season

– and one of the biggest inschool history – the mem-bers of Manchester High’sfootball team were rockedby news that a car accidenthad claimed the life of a fel-low student-athlete for thesecond time in less than sixmonths.

Adding to the pain of ju-nior Gage Edwards’ death onhis 17th birthday last Thurs-day, the Lancers also learnedthat one of their teammates,kicker Kevin Granados, hadbeen Edwards’ passenger andsustained non-life-threaten-ing injuries in the two-carcrash on Qualla Road.

As counselors were dis-patched to the school Fridaymorning to help studentsdeal with the tragedy – asthey did in May when seniorgirls soccer captain AverySpence was killed in a caraccident – Manchester’s

football players gatheredwith their coaches andadministrators to determinethe best course of action.

It didn’t take long beforean agreement was reached.Despite the sadness thathad enveloped the hallways

of their school, the Lancerswould play their DominionDistrict game against Cosbyas scheduled and do theirbest to honor their fallenclassmate.

Cosby's 'man of steel' forgesimpressive comeback storyBrady wouldn't let broken hip knock him off courseBy FREd JEtERspecial correspondent

On the tracks and rac-ing trails, Riley Brady ispowered by the usual flesh,bone and determination,

plus something else – a pair of stain-less-steel screws.

Brady is Cosby High’s “man of steel”… or to be more specific, stainlesssteel.

The screws were surgically insertedlast fall to patch up a fractured righthip he suffered in a running accident.

So bye-bye competitive runningand hello remote control device, bag ofpotato chips and a seat on the recliner?

Not in this special case.Rather than a dead end, the ordeal

turned out to be little more than aspeed bump for the 5-8, 145-pound

senior whippet who oozes confidenceand grit.

Talk about stirring comebacks …A few months after Brady broke his

hip, he broke the Titans’ school recordin the 800 – legging a 1:59.6 at lastspring’s Dominion District meet.

Now he’s laying tracks, over hill anddale, for a Cosby cross-country pro-gram trying to rebound from the 2011graduation loss of Dominion kingpinEvan Niciphor.

“I’m just happy to be out here – ayear later, pain free … it’s magnificent,”Brady said following his less-than-besteffort in the Milestat.com Festival Oct.15 at Pocahontas State Park.

Brady caught a leg cramp early inthe 5-K race (against premier run-ners from 25 teams) and finished in apedestrian (for him) 17:36.

Earlier this fall he covered the samedistance in 16:52 at the Great Ameri-can in Cary, N.C.

His resume also includes a 16:45 for3.0 miles at Fork Union; plus he won aDominion tri-meet victory in 17:09.

With a twinkle in his dark eyes,Brady says the only time he feels thescrews is “when it rains.”

Rising barometric pressure, he ad-mits, offers an advance weather watch.

So has the “trick hip” made him anamateur climatologist?

“I don’t want to claim any super-natural power,” he said, “but people atschool do ask me if I think it’s goingto rain.”

'improving' Chiefs blank indiansBy JIm [email protected]

The 2010 season was like adream for Monacan High’sfield hockey team. The Chiefsstayed at or near the top

of the Dominion District standingsthroughout the regular season, finishedas runner-up to Cosby at the districttournament and reached the CentralRegion semifinals before winding upone victory shy of a trip to states.

Putting together a successful encorehas been challenging for Monacanafter losing its four senior leaders tograduation, but the Chiefs are feel-

ing good about their chances to makesome noise in the upcoming Dominiontournament.

“We feel like we’re improving everygame,” Monacan coach Cathy Greensaid after a 2-0 victory over Powhatanlast Thursday. “We’re looking forwardto next week.”

Monacan’s defense was in postsea-son form against Powhatan. Led byseniors Sammi Lambert and SarahRozell, the Chiefs repeatedly frustratedthe Indians by stuffing them in thecircle after long charges into the of-fensive zone.

Speedy Powhatan senior Maddie

Zatkulak, who can dribble the ballfrom one end of the field to the otheras quickly as anyone in the CentralRegion, made several brilliant runsbut couldn’t get a shot past Monacangoalkeeper Nora Browning.

“With a Triple-A team, you can justtell they’re better and more organized,”Zatkulak said.

Smith is an extremely taut,muscular 200 pounds.

Make that about 201pounds – counting the“chip” he insists he carrieson his shoulder.

From Clover Hill High(Class of ’09) where here-wrote the receivingrecord book, Smith’s firstcollege choice was hisfather Mickey’s alma mater,Virginia Tech.

Tech passed.Next on his wish list was

nearby William & Mary.W&M extended a

campus visit, but made noscholarship proposal.

“I was pretty bummedabout that,” he said. “If Wil-liam & Mary had offered, Iwould have accepted.”

Determined to playDivision I college footballdespite limited recruit-ment, Smith became proac-tive and began mailing hisown video – including onepackage to Yale of the aca-demically-elite Ivy League.

It helps that in additionto being All-Central Regionat Clover Hill, he was alsoa member of the NationalHonor Society.

A campus visit to NewHaven, Conn., resulted inan offer from newly arrivedYale coach Tom Williams– and Smith became aBulldog.

He’s arguably the swift-est (sizzling 4.45 for 40yards) and among the mostornery on the roster.

Still, he’s not forgettingthe snubs.

Feeling rejected canmake an athlete dig deeper,grab a second wind whenothers are pooped.

“I really do feel like Iplay with a chip on myshoulder,” he said in aphone interview. “It’s al-ways great to prove peoplewrong.”

Even toting a chip on hisshoulder and pigskin underhis arm, the junior PoliticalScience major can out-legmost everyone in the Ivy.

After four games thisseason, he was second inthe Ivy in receiving yardsper game (78.3) and firstin kickoff runbacks (29.4average) with a long of 82.

Leadership has beencritical during a season inwhich Monacan has dealtwith a number of injuriesand dropped several gamesit could’ve won. Outscored15-5 in their first four games,three of the Chiefs’ last fourlosses were decided by onegoal – including two gamesagainst district rival JamesRiver that Monacan lost 2-1and 3-2, respectively.

“We’ve had some reallyclose losses and that’s hard totake,” Green added.

Green acknowledgedMonacan had to learn how toplay without standouts likeKelly Keys, one of the mosttalented players to ever wearthe Chiefs’ colors.

By now, Green’s girlsunderstand that lofty ex-pectations are just a naturalby-product of the program’ssuccess last season.

“It’s very different,” Eng-lish said. “Every other teamknows we’re here now. Whenthey play us, they expect usto play well.”

His love for wildlife par-allels his passion for racing.

This is just his first fullseason of cross country.With only one shot, hevows not to “screw it up.”

___________________

The Milestat girls’ racemay have offered a sneakpeek of the State GroupAAA meet, as Cosby seniorMegan Moye was second

behind Lake Braddock ide-ally named junior, SophieChase.

Moye ran 17:40, better-ing her meet-record timeof 17:42 set a year ago, butfell to Chase’s hot-footed,personal record of 17:22.

“It wasn’t my best race– my quads were a littletight,” said Moye. “I keptpushing, hoping I couldcatch her on the hills …but every time I lookedup, I was a little furtherbehind.”

A year ago, Moye wasthird at States behind run-ner-up Chase and cham-pion Hannah Lowery ofStafford.

Long-time competi-tors Moye and Chase areFacebook friends and close

buds off the trails.“Sophie is so nice; it’s

like she’s the sweetest per-son,” said Moye, defendingDominion District andCentral Region champ.

Says Chase: “Meganpushes me; I push her. Wework off each other.”

Moye's teammate, KateBirnbaum, was the nexthighest local finisher inthe girls A race. She placed30th with a time of 19:37.

Cosby's Lindsey Blumwas 42nd in 19:51 andteammate Amy Pokrifkawas 63rd in 20:07.

Titans Alaina Redd(71st) and Alex McAllister(76th) also cracked the top100 in the girls varsity Arace, which had 181 com-petitors.

PHOTO COURTESY YALE UNIVERSITYFormer Clover Hill standout Chris Smith has thrived in the Ivy League at Yale University.

two kickoffs for touch-downs in the same game.

Smith went to the dis-tance from 79 and 83 yardsversus Brown in a span ofjust 2:23.

“Two things make Christhe player he is,” says Yalereceivers coach KefenseHynson. “First, it’s hisdemeanor and drive – he’sdetermined to be the best.

“And second, he’s so fast… he’s very explosive, a lotof fast-twitch muscle fiber.”

Yale strength/condition-ing coach Emil Johnsonsays this of the workoutwonder:

“Chris is one of the lead-ers in our weight room, notonly for the work he doesbut for the vocal energy hebrings.

“He’s one of the stron-gest on the team, poundfor pound, and a legitimateNFL prospect in two years.”

Smith has bench pressed275 pounds for 12 repeti-tions with a maximum of350.

Combine that with hisbreak-away speed, and you

understand what kind ofweapon he has become.

“Teams don’t want tokick to Chris anymore,” saysHynson.

While always quick,Smith was a late-bloomerphysically. As a Clover Hillsophomore, he weighed amere 130 and wasn’t calledup to the varsity for theplayoffs to end the season.

That’s when CH assis-tant coach Adam Tiller hada heart to heart with hisunder-sized speedster.

“After that, I becamecommitted,” Smith recalled.“My first goal was to get to160. I started reading bodybuilding magazines and gota membership to AmericanFamily Fitness.”

He became addictedto healthy nutrition – thekind producing lean musclemass.

For that, he deflectsmuch of the credit to hismother, Laura.

“She was a huge support-er,” he said. “She was alwaysgetting me protein shakes,making me chicken breastsand cooking lots of eggs.”

Smith made huge strides

as a Cavalier junior; thenhe took like a muscled-uproadrunner as a senior with53 catches for 920 yardsand 15 touchdowns.

Still, colleges prefer toevaluate players early.

Smith’s remarkableClark Kent to Superman-type transformation mayhave come too late to grabthe attention of the talentscouts.

If so, Smith sees it astheir loss and his cause forrevenge.

He’s content strid-ing pass patterns at Yale,even though it is a schoolmore noted for producingU.S. Presidents (WilliamHoward Taft, Gerald Ford,George H.W. Bush, BillClinton, George W. Bush)than NFL receivers.

Still, Smith says “I thinkI have a legitimate chance(of making NFL) if I keepworking.”

You can erase the“if”from that equation.

Smith vows to keep onpushing. That motivatingchip on the shoulder isn’tfalling off, no matter howfast he runs.

PHOTO BY JIM MCCONNELLManchester's Keenan Griffith applauds after a Lancers touchdown in the first half.

“It was totally up to thekids,” Manchester coach TomHall said. “They wanted toplay. We told them, ‘You havethree hours tonight to putall of your emotions asideand go play the game youlove. Then you can go backand mourn and support thefamily.’”

Manchester senior line-backer Jake Marten notedthat while Edwards was amember of the school’s trackand field team, he also was“a huge football fan” and“would’ve wanted us to play.”

“Sometimes there’s adver-sity in life,” Marten added,“and you have to try and riseabove it.”

The Lancers already haddemonstrated resiliency onthe field, bouncing back froman 0-2 start with three con-secutive victories – includingback-to-back thrillers overpreseason district favoritesL.C. Bird and Clover Hill.

A win over Cosbywould’ve given Manchesterfirm control of the Domin-ion District championshipchase with four games left.

But the game was even

more critical for the visitingTitans, who were coming offa loss to Bird and would’vebeen all but eliminated fromtitle contention with a sec-ond consecutive defeat.

So like Hall, Cosby coachPete Mutascio found himselfengaged in a delicate psy-chological juggling act.

“Most of our kids knowthe [Edwards] family orhave interacted with them.It’s the talk at Cosby, too,” hesaid. “We explained to themthat it’s a terrible, terribletragedy, but we still have agame to play.”

And play they did. Bothteams poured their hearts

into the contest, waginga spirited back-and-forthbattle that featured one bigplay after another.

Deshaun Amos gaveManchester a 6-0 lead with a73-yard punt return.

Cosby answered withAaron Birnbaum’s 35-yardtouchdown pass to Luke

Lowery and a fake field goalthat Tyler Fitzgerald turnedinto a 20-yard scoring run.

Manchester forged a14-all halftime deadlock ona 16-yard run by Carlos Mo-rales and a two-point con-version by Doug Eddings.

Cosby went back aheadwhen Birnbaum and C.J.Stancil hooked up for a15-yard TD pass, only tosee Manchester tie the gameagain moments later onBrandon Allen’s 54-yard run.

Stancil, who gained 166yards on 27 punishing car-ries, provided the winningpoints for the Titans on a1-yard plunge.

But even after turningthe ball over four times andgetting stopped on fourth-and-short with about twominutes left, the Lancersdidn’t quit – and the Titansdidn’t breathe easily untilthey tackled Eddings after along reception at the Cosby30 and the clock ran out.

“We have a tough groupof kids,” Mutascio said.“They have heart and thatmakes up for a lot of things.”

Added Cosby runningback Jainard Lambert: “I wasjust proud of everybody that

we didn’t let our emotionsget the best of us like we didlast week.”

Manchester got an emo-tional lift when Granadosshowed up and watched thefirst half from the sideline instreet clothes. The Lancersalso rode a wave of emo-tion from the massive homecrowd that came out to sup-port them.

Ultimate;y, the turnoverswere too much to overcome,and the players trudged totheir locker room after the27-21 defeat with a look thatwas equal parts disappointedand mentally exhausted.

“A lot of us didn’t getmuch sleep last night, butthat’s no excuse,” Martensaid. “We would’ve liked tohonor Gage a little better.We just came up a littleshort.”

Even in defeat, a bleary-eyed Hall said he couldn’tpossibly have been prouderof his team.

“It’s an honor to be theircoach,” he added. “We’vebeen on such an emotionalrollercoaster, but the kidsshowed so much resiliency– and they’ll rally aroundeach other now.”

Introducing Dr. Jackye Kimand Dr. Jason Hurst

Are you in pain? Have you tried everything to alleviate yourpain without success? Are you contemplating surgery? Triedinjections? Had surgery and are still in pain? In many cases,the operations are necessary for proper health and recoveryfrom an injury. However, we have seen many patients whoreceived operations they may not have needed and are stillin ridiculous pain. Our Newlife™ Healing System isboth high-tech and non-force, and most important, provento be a safe and effective alternative to surgery. You willsee we have the best therapeutic modality for advanced painrelief and expedited healing times! Our Newlife Laserdelivers soothing, deep, penetrating, photonic energy to bringabout profound physiological changes. The inflammationis reduced, pain gates are blocked and the damaged tissuesbegin the physiological process of repair 3-5 times faster thannormal. This all occurs as the essential healing factors arebrought in and the non-essential wastes are removed, withincreased circulation at the site of injury. These therapeuticenhancements of the cellular chemistry are triggered byour Newlife Laser, making it a truly profound healingmodality and experience…guaranteed!

Surgeon has PERSONAL Experience!Dr. Robert Morrow, a well-known, trusted orthopedicsurgeon, who had completed over 15,000 surgeries, said “Iwas suffering from shoulder pain for 6 months straight withno relief. I heard about laser treatment and after seeing andhearing many of my patient’s stories, I did more research onthe topic and found that the doctors and staff now using theseNewlife Lasers finally have a tool to help people whothink that surgery is their only option. I went to get treatedand was amazed that it took away all of my pain. After 6months of misery, I was relieved and I am now Pain Free! Iknow that orthopedic surgeons don’t always fully understandthe available alternatives to surgery and, as a result, manypatients are sent through long, painful and costly procedures.There are many of you who have been through the processof using prescription medications and injections … with littleor no relief. Physicians who recommend drugs are limitedby their options, for treatment, so they continue to prescribemedications. I have found that this Newlife™ Healing Systemis very effective at treating patients that have not responded toother procedures, even those who have already tried surgery. Iconcluded, to give patients the best possible care, there needsto be referrals provided to chronic pain patients so they canreceive these unique therapies.”

Are PILLS & INJECTIONS long-termsolutions for pain relief? --NO WAY!

Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently takingprescription pain pills or by getting cortisone or epiduralsteroid injections. This type of relief masks the cause, istemporary, and more often can lead to even more pain or worseyet—addiction to drugs! So many people innocently fall intoabusing prescription pain pills while initially using them toalleviate real, constant pain. Did you know that prescriptionmedications kill more people every year than do illegal drugs?Nobody is immune to prescription drug abuse, even radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. His prescription drug abuse to amedication called oxycontin almost destroyed his career andended his life. The medication was prescribed by a doctor forpain relief!

Spine and Disc DECOMPRESSIONAt Newlife Laser Clinics we have advanced machinesfor Spinal Decompression. Our Newlife™ Healing Systemincludes Non-Surgical Spinal Decompressionmachines that produce gentle separation of the vertebrae anddecompression of the inter-vertebral discs. Decompressionrelies upon the repeated unloading of spinal stress bydistracting the spine. This therapy produces negative pressurewithin the disc to allow a disc injury to heal naturally byreplenishing the fluid in the “cushion-like” disc. Patients aretreated fully clothed and are fitted with a harness that fitsaround their body or head, as they lie on a comfortable tableand are gently decompressed. The doctor adjusts the tableand the harness and uses a computerized console, where acustomized treatment protocol is entered into the computerand takes about 20 minutes. The average treatment protocolis approximately 10 to 25 treatments within a 5 to 10 weekperiod of time, depending on the individual’s case.
