It was a good year for tryouts with lots of interest as over 60 kids tried out for the freshmen, JV and Varsity teams. According to Coach Gladwell the sad part is that you the more that try out the more you have to cut and this year over 30 of them were cut to die present 12 freshmen and 18 players on the varsityJV squad. Experience will play a part for this years team as there are four returning players with quite a bit of varsity experience from last year. They are Rhett Hallows at forward, Mike Johnson and Jason Sperry at guard, and Jeremony Kjar at center and forward. This experience is better than previous years at North Sevier. Others joining the team this year are Matt S teiger, Brody Heath , Ace Shaheen, Shawn Christenson, Brant Hallows, Tweeb Gladwell, Cody Braithwaite, Ryan Heath, Brett Hatch, Mike Crane, Peter Vest, Eric Mason, Jcramiah Forbush, Allan Kiesel. Even with a fair amount of experience returning from last year there are only two seniors on the team and the other major factor, the whole teams average height is about six foot. Gladwell explained that they arc going to up the pace of the game as The greatest achievement of the human spirit is to live up to ones opportunities and make the most of ones Vauvenargues The elderly they are a need to feel part of life no means the logical or normal cycle all older adults follow, and it does not reflect normal changes of the aging process. Even though an individual may not be diagnosed as suffering from the failure to thrive syndrome, many elderly people exhibit symptoms of the conditions, including weight loss, inadequate nutritional intake, deterioration of mental and physical abilities, depression, and helplessness. The causes for such behavior are varied. Some may have always existed but were disguised or lessened by work or life roles. The disappearance of certain relationships and functional losses may cause one to feel lonely and excluded. Loss of self and place in the family and society can eliminate the meaning and joy of life. The best solution is a preventative one, where the individual, family and friends strive to keep life meaningful andkeep self worth intact. At the Care Center we encourage family visits or arrange for conference calls between the resident and others. We encourage mending old relationships and concerns of the elderly in which they can become involved. Family or other caregivers can employ the failure to thrive concept in determining which elders are at risk. They can then foster and maintain their potential in this cycle of life. Finally, they can assist in the creation and maintenance of relationships and attachments, asituation from which both the giver and receiver can benefit. Ron Nielsen Richfield Care Center We haven noted in our column previously, that as we get older, there is a marked diminishing physical, mental, and social capabilities. Come specialists call this failure to thrive. Dr. Virginia B. Newbcm had an article in the Journal of Gerontological Nursing recently which pointed out that the failure to thrive idea originated from studies examining inhibited development of children due to isolation and lack of stimulation. This principle has recently been applied to similar behavior in the elderly, most notably in the area of weight loss and malnutrition. While few reports consider failure to thrive in children and the elderly in the same context, an important correlation between the two emerges. Studies further suggest that whether older adults survive as competent, happy and independent being, or whether they withdraw from life, depends on the behavior exhibited toward them and the care extended to them in the last phase of their lies, according to Dr. Newbcm. Many folks who come to the Care Center do so because of their failure to thrive problems. Often, when home alone or living with family members, thriving depends a great deal on behavior exhibited by family, friends, and neighbors. When individuals have no purpose, are isolated, have little stimulation, and lose the socialization of peers, the will to thrive diminishes. However, failure to thrive is by much as they can. The problem of this kind of game is rebounding well. Gladwell feels the team can create the run and gun scenario as they have the ball handling abilities and quickness but the rebounding will be the big question. Mentally the players are positive and have worked hard in the off season as well as the practices said Gladwell. The kids feel they can be successful and that is a big part of the battle said Gladwell. They will start the season on Saturday in Gunnison. Freshmen and JV games will be at 5:30 and the varsity will play at 7:30 p.m. Gunnison will also be short on height but a quick bunch with quite a few returners from last years successful team. They will be tough to deal with right off the bat especially on their home court said a t- - ti Gladwell. Senior Citizen November 19, twenty two seniors took advantage of the Blood Pressure Clinic. We want to thank Lisa Deaton and Peggy Mason for donating their time for this service. This program is under the direction of Lloyd and Nellie Hatch. We want to thank them also. Mike Robinson helped clean the floor so it would be ready for the Potluck Dinner. After the Blood Pressure Clinic, 23 seniors stayed to have dinner at the Center. It would be nice and also help the centers rating if more people would come and enjoy the meals and activities. The State Boiler Inspector came November 19, and inspected the heating system and boiler. The unit passed the inspection and is good for another two years. The center will close the night of November 20 and remain closed until December 1. Meals will then resume. We hope everyone has an enjoyable Thanksgiving. u rs n am 2 n fu; r rj3 tit Teachers needed n fea, for Western Swing y Jill Porter North Sevier High School is looking for two couples to volunteer to teach a Western Swing and Line Dance Workshop.
