toms were and to see a medicalprovider immediately if youhave flu-like symptoms.”
According to Hensley, thehospital and / or health depart-ment will test the patient for theflu. If the person tests positivefor influenza type-a, they mayhave the swine flu. A culturewill be sent off to the state, andpossibly the CDC, for moretesting.
“There are only a number oflabs that test for this,” Hensleysaid. “It could take days to findout if you have it. We have toldstaff and families, ‘Do notcome to work if have flu-likesymptoms until test results areback.’ So far we have hadnobody come up positive forthis.”
Twin Lakes Director ofPlanning and Marketing BillOldham assured the communitythat the hospital is prepared inthe event of something like thisspreading.
Staff members regularly reviewemergency-preparedness guide-lines on how to handle a large num-ber of patients arriving in a shortperiod of time from a natural disas-ter, accident or widespread out-break of illness.
“In response to the H1N1 flu(swine flu) threat,” Oldhamexplained. “TLRMC has takenprecautions to ensure it meets thehealth care needs of the communi-ty. Staff members from severaldepartments have assembledplans and resources to address apotential large outbreak of H1N1flu.”
Patients who think they mayhave the flu are asked to notifyregistration personnel immediate-ly upon arrival. Those people arekept in a separate area, away fromother patients and visitors.
“These patients may also beasked to wear a mask in order toprevent the spread of the illness,”Oldham said. “Procedures are in
place to provide these same pre-cautions for a large number ofpatients arriving at the hospital ina short amount of time. Publiceducation is a major factor in con-taining the spread of an illnesssuch as the H1N1 flu. Employeesand the general public are remind-ed of guidelines to help reduce thespread of the flu. These guidelinesinclude proper hand-washingtechniques, using alcohol-basedhands cleaners, avoid touchingyour eyes, nose or mouth, cover-ing coughs or sneezes and stayinghome if you get sick.”

Both Peerce Stasuik were trans-ported from the scene of the acci-

Willen reported a witness to theaccident had been following twocars behind Stasuik and hadnoticed he had tried to pass thesemi several times.
Tourbikes. The fairgrounds lookedlike the perfect spot to camp,and we were able to use the firedepartment for showers.”
Armstrong said the tours areusually always held on thewest coast, but the currentgroup wanted to see otherareas of the United States.
“We have some new people,a lot of them wanted to go tothe east coast,” he explained,“We are always going west,close to Oregon. We alwayswanted to go to the east coasttoo, connecting St. Lois withWilliamsburg, Virginia.”
The current group of 12 con-sisted of people from all overthe country like Switzerland,Holland, Wisconsin and NewYork.
Doris Fincutter, from
Wisconsin, said cycling forher has become an addiction.
“This is the third tour forme,” she said smilingly.“Tom’s company is the besttour company in the U.S.”
Ayaka, a grandmother in her70’s from New York, startedcycling as a way to fill a voidin her life. Ayaka laughed insaying, “I started doing thisafter my children left home. Ihad empty nest syndrome, andthis was the only sport I cando.”
Fincutter explained the peo-ple who sign up for the toursare very determined to keepcycling.
“No matter if it is rain orshine, we keep going,”Fischer mentioned. “Weclimbed in the van one day fora lightening storm. The rain is
not so bad, but if it is lighten-ing, tom picks us up.”
Armstrong, who is originallyfrom Nebraska, has beendoing this type of work since1993. He came across the ideawhile cycling one day, anddecided to quit his full-timejob of being a barber and dothis instead.
“I was biking across thecountry in 1991,” heexplained, “going acrosscountry from Portland,Oregon to Portland, Maine,doing a solo trip. The trailblew me away with the wholehistory of it. In my mind Ithought, ‘Someone reallyneeds to promote this.’
Armstrong is currentlyaccepting applications for thenext tour. Go to www.historic-trailscycling.com to sign up.

By Jason Salzman I picked up Eric Boehlert’s
new book, “Bloggers on theBus: How the InternetChanged Politics and thePress,” because I wanted tofind out how a journalist likeBoehlert shows that bloggershave a real-life impact on poli-tics.
I mean, we all know there arewho-knows-how-many blog-gers out there, posting politicalopinions, facts, corrections,and errors of their own on theInternet for all to see.
But what do they actuallyachieve, beyond talking toeach other? Or should I say,linking to each other? Howdoes their work affect main-stream politics?
That’s the beauty of“Bloggers on the Bus.” It cap-tures the tactics used by blog-ging activists, who have writ-ing skills but often-minimalpolitical experience, to move alefty notion out of fantasylandand into the mainstream con-sciousness.
One way bloggers do this isby using cyber fundraisingtools to steer political dona-tions to promising underdogcandidates, like unknownElwyn Tinklenberg, who cameinches away from unseatingMinnesota Rep. MicheleBachman, a GOP rising star,who stirred the ire of bloggerswhen she suggested thatObama was anti-American.
The book also explains how a“blogswarm” (many blogsfocusing on the same topic)creates a wave of actions byblog readers.
For example, bloggers mobi-lized their minions to informthe Democratic presidentialcandidates that planned
debates on the Fox Networkwould have given undue legiti-macy to Fox as a news source.The Democrats eventuallyagreed, and the debates werecanceled.
Bloggers are probably best atswarming, and influencing themainstream media in theprocess, but they also investi-gate.
Liberal bloggers revealedthat right wing pastor JohnHagee, who had endorsed theRepublican nominee, sermo-nized that God sent Hitler to“hunt” Jews and force them togo to Israel.
After a video was uncoveredand promoted by a little-known blogger, John Wilson,McCain denounced the pas-tor—to the dismay of right-wingers.
After reading “Bloggers onthe Bus,” you’ll be able to listsubstantive political victoriesthat can be attributed fully ormostly to bloggers.
As he explains how thesepolitical stories unfolded,Boehlert profiles the bloggersinvolved, illuminating their all-American brand of hard workand entrepreneurialism.
The how-I-became-a-bloggerstories (e.g., from art gallerymanager to famous lefty blog-ger) are entertaining andinspiring.
The credibility of “Bloggerson the Bus” is enhanced by itswillingness to air the nasty dis-agreements among liberalbloggers—as well show theerroneous information that waspromulgated by top blogs(e.g., the false claim that Gov.Sarah Palin was not the realmother of her young son).
Boehlert acknowledges that
left-leaning bloggers swarmaround topics that most votersunfortunately could often careless about.
Liberal blogs sink their teethinto wonky issues, like theBush administration’s wiretap-ping or President BarackObama’s refusal to pursueBush officials who committedwar crimes.
The tendency to fixate onfringe issues makes sensewhen the bloggers are in purecombat mode against the rightwing.
But now their man, Obama,is in power—even though, asBoehlert reports, Obama hasunfortunately distanced him-self from bloggers who helpedhim get elected.
Should these bloggers adjusttheir tactics to help Obamasucceed in the compromisedWashington milieu?
Or should they continue toslash and burn and demand thepresident address their off-the-radar-screen screeds?
If you’ve read “Bloggers onthe Bus,” you know moderatevoices urging compromise willlikely encounter a sea ofvenom online.
That’s too bad, because blog-gers can clearly get thingsdone when they have a focus,which should now be to diginto Obama’s core agenda(health care, the economy, andenergy). If they do this, they’llbe taking advantage of anopportunity for politicalchange unlike any they’ll like-ly see again in their lifetimes.
If you had any doubt that lib-eral bloggers are a force to bereckoned with in Americanpolitics, “Bloggers on the Bus”will make you a believer.
Lefty bloggers, havingwon, need to compromise

Faced with the task of play-ing four straight varsity gamesand a pair of JV contests, theCougar coaching staff split thevarsity into two teams atEdmonson County onThursday.
Team A split their twogames, beating Allen County-Scottsville 38-32 in the firstgame of the day, then droppinga close, two-point game toPortland Christian, 33-31.Team B dropped both of itsgames in close ones, 66-64 toCaverna, then 43-41 on a last-second shot to Hart County.
TEAM A VS ALLENCOUNTY
There were two leadchanges and two ties in thefirst quarter before the Cougarsclosed out the period with a12-11 lead. Aaron Devineyscored seven of his team-high14 points in the second quarteras Grayson County opened upa four point lead, 23-19 at thehalf.
Deviney hit a 15-footer atthe 4:58 mark of the thirdquarter which gave theCougars their largest lead tothat point, 10 points at 31-21.They led by nine, 34-25 head-ing into the fourth quarter.
Two Hunter Gary freethrows opening the final periodgave the Cougars their largestlead of the game, 36-25, butAllen County scored sevenstraight to pull to within fourpoints of the lead, 36-32 with3:54 left in the game.
The Cougars then held themscoreless the rest of the way towin by six. Deviney hit a pairof three-pointers during thegame and also led the team onthe boards with sevenrebounds. Gary joined Deviney
in double figures with 12points, Daniel Buckles hadeight points and Evand Donaldhad four to complete the scor-ing.
TEAM A VS PORTLANDCHRISTIAN
Missed free throws were thestory in this one as the
Cougars had the opportunity towin the game at the end butmissed the front ends ofbonuses twice in the closingseconds.
The lead changed handsfive times in the first period.
The freshman boys basketball team playedhost to teams from Apollo and ElizabethtownWednesday evening and came away with apair of wins.
In the opener, the Cougars fought off atough Apollo team for a 53-41 win, then theyblew away the Panthers 54-28.
APOLLOThe Tinsley brothers, Ryne and Trey, both
scored in double figures as the Cougars beat avery good Apollo team. Ryne, the team’s point
guard, scored 12 points and added four assistsand four steals. Trey hit a pair of three-point-ers and led the Cougars with 14 points.
Grayson County scored the first eightpoints of the game, forcing the Eagles to call atimeout to try to regroup. Behind the play oftheir good-looking post-man, Hunter Bivins,the Eagles made a run at the Cougars. ABivins lay-up at the 5:16 mark of the first halfbrought the Eagles to within two points of thelead at 22-20. The Cougars led by six, 30-24at the half.
Apollo pulled to within two points oncemore in the second half, 32-30 at the 17:12
The summer baseball schedulegot underway with a bang lastTuesday as incoming senior TylerSaltsman threw a five-inning no-hitter at visiting BreckinridgeCounty in a 3-0 win.
Saltsman faced just 16 batters,one over the minimum for a five-inning game, striking out 11 ofthem. Saltsman hit catcherJackson Brown with a pitch lead-ing off the third inning. Brownwas forced at second on a one-outground ball by center-fielderShane Compton. Saltsman thenstranded Compton at third basewhen he struck out left-fielderTaylor Whitfiell to end theinning.
That was the only threat byBreck as Saltsman was in com-plete control from the start. Thebig right-hander struck out theside twice, in the first inning,then again in the fifth to end thegame.
At the plate, the Pumas (as theCougars are called in the sum-mer) scored all they would needin the first inning. ShortstopBrady Clemons led off by beatingout a bunt for a hit. Center-fielderBrett Lindsey sent Clemons tothird with a single into right, then
Clemons scored as Breck triedunsuccessfully to get Lindsey ona steal of second base.
Saltsman then helped himselfby driving in Lindsey with a sin-gle up the middle to make it 2-0.Saltsman was replaced on thebase paths by Cameron Bassbefore Kenny Hewes walked withone out. Both runners advancedto second and third on a wildpitch, but Breck pitcher RyanArmes pitched out of any furthertrouble by striking out Tyler Hilland getting Joey Henry to groundout.
Armes started the game at firstbase, but entered after startingpitcher Bryan Dowell injuredhimself on a pickoff attempt atsecond base on Lindsey. Dowellwas charged with both Pumaruns.
Armes pitched well for the vis-itors, holding Grayson Countywithout a run through the thirdinning. But in the fourth, Armeswent back to first and DylanBishop took over on the moundand the Pumas got to him foranother run without a base hit.
Third-baseman Justin Calvertwalked leading off and was sacri-ficed to second by designated hit-ter, Cody Hensel. Calvert reachedthird on a wild pitch, then scoredon a ground-out to short byClemons.
