She began by saying,“My fellow seniors, wehave spent 2,160 daystogether. We have spent15,120 hours in school.We have spent a third ofour lives together inschool. And now it isabout to end. But this isnot only an end, but abeginning. We must takethe time now to remem-ber. Remember that weare the last class to attendthe old Hannan HighSchool, the constructionand the current HannanHigh School.”
Adkins continued byrecalling several specialmoments that the classhad experienced together.She also recited one ofher favorite quotes byMarianne Williamsonand read her own poemshe had written, “IfFailure Was Impossible.”
“Dreams are comingtrue today for us and ourparents,” Adkins said.“Our teachers and par-ents no longer have toworry about whether ornot we will graduate.Today is a day of suc-cess.”
Adkins closed bythanking her parents andSpanish instructor, Senora
Gue. She also left a fewwords for her classmates,“The future is us and noone should fear. Failure isimpossible. I knowbecause today is here.”
The valedictoryaddress was then givenby Katlyn Stanley whotouched on the impor-tance of growing up andgoing off to college.
“First of all, I’d justlike to congratulate all ofthe graduates for beingable to join me today.Most likely, we all havehad to face some of thegreatest challenges ofour lives in this smallschool in the middle ofnowhere,” Stanley said.“We couldn’t have got-ten through those chal-lenges without the helpof our parents.”
She continued to thankher very own mother forinspiring her.
“In turn, that inspira-tion has made me see thebest in my classmates, nomatter how crazy somemay seem on the outside.I thank you all for yourfriendship, support andwisdom throughout ouryears at Hannan.”
After talking about thechange of the school’sstructure, classrooms andteachers, Stanley wasthankful for all her mem-ories.
“Our school has growninto a school that hasbecome more well-known and at least in mymind, better than any pri-vate school that any par-ent could pay for. Noamount of money canbuy what we have here atHannan.”
As she addressed thecrowd, the valedictorianencouraged her fellowclassmates.
“Our futures are now,more than ever, depen-dent on us. It’s almost as
if for 18 years, we didn’treally think of actuallybeing in control of ourlives. We always had ourparents,” Adkins contin-ued. “In retrospect, wesort of had a backseat toour own lives, but nowwe’re driving. But we’lldo. How do I know?Because I know who I’mtalking to. I know I’mtalking to quite possiblythe greatest people I’veever known. I’ve seen thebest of all of you, and Iknow that there are nobetter people to facewhat’s ahead. And what-ever you have chosen todo, I know you’ll do itand you’ll do it well.”

OPINIONOPINION
BY FRED A. KINGERYCENTER FOR VISION & VALUES
Financial markets function todiscount the future. Usually, bythe time you read about some-thing in the newspaper, financialmarket pricing has already “dis-counted” that event weeks,months, or perhaps even yearsbefore it hits the front page andbecomes evident to everyone else.That’s what it means to “specu-late.”
The whole world is beginningto seriously speculate that theTreasury is becoming a deadbeatborrower. Normally, such specu-lation would be expressed as ahigher cost for borrowing, mean-ing higher interest rates on trea-suries, coupled with a reluctanceby lenders to offer long-termfinancing. If you have money tolend, why would you risk it bylending long term when youwould be exposed to less risk bylending short term? The risk forlending long term to the Treasuryis that there is more time forsomething bad to happen likeinflation, a currency collapse oreven default. As Will Rogers oncesaid, “I ain’t so much worriedabout the return on my money asthe return of my money.”
So, Treasury bond market spec-ulators have a problem. TheFederal Reserve’s current mone-tary policy is unintentionallymanipulating the market’s will-ingness to express a true percep-tion of the growing credit deterio-ration of the U.S. government’sbalance sheet.
Specifically, lenders to theTreasury would prefer to lendshort term (under one year) ratherthan long term (beyond fiveyears). However, the Fed haspegged interest rates in the shortend of the treasury market at nearzero percent. Lenders willing tolend money short are getting noreturn. Beyond five years, whereFed policy influence is signifi-cantly less, the return for a lenderis much better at 3.5 percent orhigher.
So here is the problem: Themarket wants to lend short, but
that desire doesn’t get paid. Themarket is reluctant to lend long,but that reluctance is rewardedwith a higher return. So, whathappens when the Fed begins tak-ing its foot off the monetaryaccelerator and short rates in thetreasury market begin rising? TheFed will almost certainly beginraising short rates in the next sixto 12 months.
Currently, about 30 percent (c.$4 trillion) of total outstandingTreasury debt matures in less thanone year. About 55 percent (c.$7.5 trillion) of the total nationaldebt matures in less than threeyears. If the Treasury currentlymatures $4 trillion of debt eachyear, and, in addition, runs anannual deficit of $1.4 trillion, thenthe total annual borrowingrequirement will be $5.4 trillion.What happens if the 55 percent ofthe debt that matures in threeyears decides to migrate to amaturity of less than one year asreluctant longer-term lendinggives way to preferred short-termlending, encouraged by aninevitable shift in Fed policy toraise short-term interest rates?
In that case, the total annualborrowing requirement (maturingdebt plus the deficit) becomes agigantic $8.9 trillion. Each year’smaturing debt has to be “rolled”(new debt sold to replace thatwhich is maturing) to the nextyear (at least), and each year’snew borrowing need (the deficit)has to find buyers from the samepool of lenders. The annualmaturing debt “roll,” plus theannual government deficit, makeup the total annual borrowingrequirement for the Treasury.
How gigantic is $8.9 trillion?It’s approximately the combinedsize of the second and thirdlargest GDPs on the planet, Japanand China, combined. It’s alsoapproximately the sum of theGDPs of Germany, France,England, and Brazil. U.S.Treasury debt financing, whichalready depends on the kindnessof strangers, will become evenmore so. And each year theworld’s lenders (the notorious“bond vigilantes”) will get to
decide if they want to financeover half of the entire maturingTreasury debt structure.
Bottom line, in the next year ortwo, interest expense as a percent-age of federal government’sreceipts could easily explode tothe upside and exceed 20 percent(the Congressional BudgetOffice’s projection for the currentyear is 9.5 percent) as Fed policychange translates immediatelyinto higher interest expense onwhat might be approximately 55percent of the Treasury’s totaloutstanding debt. Fed monetarypolicy will then become hostageto the combined annual maturingdebt “roll” and deficit.
At that point, the Fed’s predica-ment will be that it won’t be ableraise interest rates to stop infla-tion or defend the U.S. dollar forfear of what it will cost theTreasury in additional interestexpense. Lenders, both foreignand domestic, would begin tospeculate that the Treasury couldsoon be caught in a borrowingdeath spiral (funding both matur-ing debt and deficit increasinglydriven higher by rising interestexpense). These lenders would bevery easily tempted to withdrawliquidity from the Treasury bondmarket (the dreaded buyersstrike). That, in turn, will forcethe Fed to simply print the moneyin order to provide the requiredfinancing. The money printingwould then easily translate into aserious inflation (hyperinflation)and a currency collapse.
Anyone want to “speculate” onan alternative happy ending tothis story?
Realists may wish to ask a moreprofound question when confront-ed with the shocking size ofAmerica’s annual debt “roll” anddeficit: Where is the current lead-ership in Washington taking ournation?

Dear Dr. Brothers:My biggest fear is hav-ing to go sit in front ofone or two people at anew company wherethere is a job openingand tons of applicants. Ihate competition, and Iam shy. I know I have tosell myself, but it is justnot my style! I am laid-back and enjoy workingon my own. My industryneeds people like me,but I am afraid thatsomeone who is “Mr.Personality” will haveno problem overshadow-ing me. I know I amwell-qualified — whatcan I do to get the job?— T.C.
Dear T.C.: It must bevery a frustrating feelingto know you’ve got thestuff to succeed but justcan’t seem to get it outthere in a way that letsothers see your poten-tial. So let’s see if thereare some things you cando to change your fatewhen it comes to inter-viewing. It won’t hurt tomake sure your refer-ences are truly glowing— to show that your ini-tial shyness doesn’t getin the way of your char-acter or ability to do thejob. Make sure that thejobs you are going forare not going to requirean outgoing, vibrant per-sonality if you alwaystend to be a bit of anintrovert or a quiet, soli-tary type. That way, youwill not be trying to gofor something that justdoesn’t suit you anyway,if you manage to get pastthe interview.
Making sure you arewell-prepared withinformation about thecompany and your owncredentials at your fin-gertips should make youfeel more confident.Don’t be afraid to let theinterviewer know thatyou are a bit nervous, ifyou can do it in a some-what lighthearted way.They are used to nervesfrom many applicants,so don’t feel you willstand out as a freak ofnature! One of the bestways to prepare for theinterview is to practiceyour responses withsomebody. By the timeyou get to the real thing,you should be morerelaxed. That’s whatpolitical candidates do,so why not you? Becomfortable with your-self, and it will show.
• • •Dear Dr. Brothers: I
have a question. Mymental and emotionalage don’t seem to matchmy age in years. I can’tseem to wrap my headaround doing things that
someone my age is “sup-posed” to enjoy, likeplaying bridge or mak-ing quilts or whatever itis that senior citizensthink is fun. I live in abig city, and when I visitmy siblings in their sub-urban “active living”communities, I feel soout of place. Right now,I am off to a rock con-cert! Is there somethingwrong with me, honest-ly? — D.M.
Dear D.M.: Youknow, I can tell you arefeeling strange, or evenfreakish. Why, it’s possi-ble to think back just ageneration to when ourparents all enjoyed beinggrown-ups and slidingcomfortably into middleage and elderhood, allthe while changing theiractivities and interests tomatch their advancingyears. They retired toFlorida and played shuf-fleboard, like they weresupposed to! Today,things are different for agreat many people. Youare not the only one todefy your years andrefuse to leave the worldof your youth. The babyboomers really are stillrunning things when itcomes time to changetheir image, and many ofthem just aren’t interest-ed in following the tradi-tional path.
So, where does thisleave you? When youare on your home turf,the big city, it seems youfeel perfectly comfort-able with your lifestyleand your approach toaging. It is only whenyou go to visit your sub-urban relatives, who areliving a more traditionalretiree life, that you feellike a duck out of water.So, don’t let the wayothers have chosen tolive determine how youfeel about yourself. Youmay never want to buyinto that other type oflifestyle, but you don’treally have to decideright now. Just go withthe flow, and know that atrait of your generationis the ability to march tothe beat of a differentdrummer.

The ClevelandCavaliers lead the pack.
In his first interviewsince the Cavs’ seasonended with a shocking,second-round loss toBoston, James toldCNN’s Larry King thatCleveland has “an edge”to re-sign him when thegreatest collection of freeagents in league historyhits the open market onJuly 1.
King, who interviewedJames at the two-timeMVP’s home near Akronon Tuesday, asked thesuperstar if Clevelandhas “an edge going in?”
“Absolutely,” Jamessaid in a portion of theinterview released by thenetwork. “Because, youknow, this city, thesefans, I mean, have givenme a lot in these sevenyears. And, you know,for me, it’s comfortable.So I’ve got a lot of mem-ories here. And so it doeshave an edge.
“It’s going to be a veryinteresting summer andI’m looking forward toit.”
Also during the inter-view, which will airFriday on CNN’s “LarryKing Live,” James saidhe can’t wait for July 1 toarrive and that he has notyet decided where he’llsign.
“I’m far from close,”he was quoted as sayingin a transcript posted onWEWS-TV’s website inCleveland. “July is still amonth away, less than amonth away. I’ve thoughtabout it, but I haven’tbegan to strategize exact-ly.”
James also made hisfirst comments about for-mer Cavs coach MikeBrown, who was fired inthe aftermath ofCleveland’s startling lossto the Celtics. James saidhe was sorry to seeBrown let go after fiveseasons.
“He was a great coach,five great years we hadtogether and we turned afranchise that hadn’t seena lot of things in a lot ofyears,” James said.
“But ultimately, weboth, myself and MikeBrown, didn’t accom-plish what we wanted to,and that was (win) theNBA championship. AndI think we wanted it more
than anybody else.“So it’s unfortunate. I
wish him the best and Ithink he’s going to have agreat coaching career.”
Before sitting downwith King, James had nottalked any media mem-bers since the Cavs wereeliminated by the Celtics,who then knocked offOrlando and will meetthe Los Angeles Lakersin the finals startingThursday.
James believes theCeltics can beat theLakers and win their 18thNBA title.
He also plans to meetwith Dwyane Wade,Chris Bosh and others ina star-studded summit offree agents to talk abouttheir future plans.
“I am the ringleader,”James told King.
The New York Knicks,Chicago Bulls, New
Jersey Nets and LosAngeles Clippers areamong a group of teamsexpected to make astrong push for James,who is humbled by all theattention as well as recentcomments by New YorkMayor MichaelBloomberg, who wantshim to sign with theKnicks, and PresidentBarack Obama, whowould like to see himstep into MichaelJordan’s shadow with theBulls.
James seemedintrigued by the Clippersand the chance to playnear Hollywood.
“They’ve got somereally good players.Some really nice, solidpieces that, if they add afree agent here or a freeagent there, it could be areally good team. It’s agreat city. But at the
same time, it’s notalways about the city. It’sabout winning. If you putme and Bosh on the sameteam, if you put me andDwayne Wade on thesame team, a lot of teamswould be much better.You know, the Cavswould be much better.”
And while he’ll consultwith advisers, family andfriends, James said thechoice of his next teamwill up to one person.
“It’s going to be me,”he said. “I’m going tohave to sit down and say’where do you want toplay’?
James has spent allseven seasons as a prowith the Cavs, whooffered him a contractextension last year andcan give him $30 millionmore than any other teamin a maximum-lengthdeal.
LeBron says Cavs have edge in free agency
Phil Masturzo/Akron Beacon Journal/MCTCleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James grimaces after being fouled by Boston Celtics'Paul Pierce in the fourth quarter in an NBA Eastern Conference semifinal game atQuicken Loans Arena on Monday, May 3, in Cleveland, Ohio. The Celtics won 104-86.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report 2009POINT PLEASANT WATER WORKS
P.O. Box 204 Point Pleasant, WV 25550PWS#WV3302710
May 25, 2010Why am I receiving this report?In compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, Point Pleasant Water Works is providing itscustomers with this annual water quality report. This report explains where your water comes from, what itcontains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. The information in this report showsthe results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st, 2009 or earlier if not on a yearlyschedule.If you have any questions concerning this report, you may contact Stephen Gardner 304-675-1191.Where does my water come from?Your drinking water source is ground water from wells.Source Water AssessmentThe well that supplies drinking water to Point Pleasant Water works has a higher susceptibility tocontamination, due to the sensitive nature of the aquifer in which the drinking water wells are located and theexisting potential contaminant sources identified within the area. This does not mean that the wellfields willbecome contaminated, only that conditions are such that the ground water could be impacted by a potentialcontaminant source. Future contamination may be avoided by implementing protective measures the sourcewater assessment report which contains more information is available for review or a copy will be provided toyou at our office during business hours or from the WVPBPH 304-558-2981.Why must water be treated?All drinking water contains various amounts and kinds of contaminants. Federal and state regulations establishlimits, controls, and treatment practices to minimize these contaminants and to reduce any subsequent healtheffects.Contaminants in WaterIn order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certaincontaminants in water provided by public water systems FDA regulations establish limits of contaminants inbottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of somecontaminants. The presence of these contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a healthrisk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling theEnvironmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).The source of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) includes rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs,springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and, in some cases radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from thepresence of animals or from human activity.Contaminants that may be present in source water include:Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septicsystems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.Inorganic Contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring, or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, farming.Pesticidess and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm waterrunoff, and residential uses.Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products orindustrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff,and septic systems.Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or the result of oil and gas production and miningactivities.Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general populations.Immuno-conpromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who haveundergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune disorders, some elderly, and infants canbe particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their healthcare providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infections by Cyptosporidiumand other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).Water Quality Date TableDefinitions of terms and abbreviations used in the table or report:•MCLG- Maximum contaminant Level Goal, or the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which there isno known or expected risk to health. MCI gas allow for a margin of safety.• MCL- Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water.MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technique.• MRDLG- Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal, or the level of drinking water disinfectant below whichthere is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect benefits of use of disinfectant to controlmicrobial contaminants.• MRDL- Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level, or the highest level of disinfectant allowed in drinking water.There is convincing evidence that addition of disinfectant is necessary to control microbial contaminants.Abbreviations that may be found in the table• ppm- parts per million or milligrams per liter• ppb- parts per billion or micrograms per liter• N/A not applicableThe Point Pleasant Water Works system routinely monitors for contaminants in your drinking water accordingto federal and state laws. The tables below show the results of our monitoring for contaminants.Table for Test Results- Regulated Contaminants- Point Pleasant Water Works

*Copper and lead samples were collected from 20 area residents in 2007. Only the 90th percentile is reported.None of the samples exceeded the MCI.WE ARE PLEASED TO REPORT THAT THE POINT PLEASANT WATER WORKS MET ALL FEDERAL ANDSTATE WATER STANDARDS FOR THE REPORTING YEAR 2009.Additional InformationAll other water test results for the reporting year 2009 were all non-detects.If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women andyoung children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service linesand home plumbing. The Point Pleasant Water Works is responsible for providing high quality drinking water,but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting forseveral hours, you can minimize the potentia for lead exposure by flusing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutesbefore using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wishto have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps youcan take tominimize exposure is availabe from the Safe Drinking Wate Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/saewater/lead.This report will not be mailed. a copy will be provided to you upon request at our office during regular businesshours.6/2

NEW YORK (AP) —CC Sabathia watched inhorror as ClevelandIndians pitcher DavidHuff lay motionless onthe mound after beingnailed in the head byAlex Rodriguez’s linedrive.
“That’s always yourfear as a pitcher,”Sabathia said.
A half-inning afterHuff was carted off thefield, a grounder up themiddle caromed off theNew York Yankeesace’s foot and rolled tothe grass in right fieldfor a hit. Perhaps ruf-fled by the successionof plays, Sabathia wentfrom breezing throughthe Indians’ limp lineupto losing the strike zoneand giving up three runsin the inning.
Working 60 feet, 6inches from home plate,where a batter can sendballs screaming towardthe mound at speeds inexcess of 100 mph, thepitcher might be themost vulnerable playeron the field.
Pitchers are rarely hitin the head, but when ithappens it unfolds in aterrifying instant.
“You never hear abaseball stadium thatquiet,” said Piratesright-hander ChrisJakubauskas, strucknear the ear by LanceBerkman’s liner April25 and still out with aconcussion. “When youcan hear a pin drop in astadium, it’s usually nota good thing.”
Several hours afterbeing rushed to the hos-pital strapped to a boardand wearing a neckbrace, Huff returned toYankee Stadium andwas seen laughing inthe clubhouse. Hehopes to make his nextstart.
Others have not beenso lucky.
Last season, theDodgers lost HirokiKuroda for severalweeks with a concus-sion and San FranciscoGiants rookie JoeMartinez was out fourmonths after MikeCameron’s liner gavethe righty a concussionand three hairline frac-tures in his skull.
In 2000, Bostonrighty Bryce Florie’svision was impairedwhen he was tagged inthe right eye. He triedto make a comeback thenext season but neversucceeded as a bigleague pitcher again.
Herb Score, theIndians’ AmericanLeague Rookie of Yearwinner in 1955, neverfulfilled his promiseafter being hit by a shotoff the bat of a NewYork Yankee that brokeseveral bones in hisface in 1957. Fearful ofgetting hit again, Scorealtered his motion andwas never the same.
“If you think it’sgoing to be difficult tocome back, I don’tthink you’ll ever beable to come back,”Kuroda said Saturdaynight.
Minnesota’s NickBlackburn, who wasstruck in the face by adrive off Bobby Abreu’sbat in 2008, said thekey to getting back onthe mound is having ashort memory.
“You can’t really goout and be scared andbe worried and thinkingabout that,” Blackburnsaid in Minneapolisafter Huff was hit. “Butit’s not easy to not thinkabout it. Especiallyafter I got hit, it wasalways in the back ofmy mind. You can’t letthat be your main focusor you won’t be able todo your job.”
He added: “The moreyou get out there, theeasier it gets.”
Jakubauskas, who’sjust beginning to throwbullpen sessions with-out feeling any effectsof the concussion, iseager to step on the rub-
ber again.“It took me until I
was 31 years old to gethit in the head, and I’vebeen playing for howlong?” Jakubauskassaid. “When you look atit like that, the odds arepretty slim.”
Jakubauskas saw areplay of Huff gettinghit.
“I kind of glanced atit. I really didn’t focuson it too much becauseI really didn’t want tosee it. I was in the train-ing room and I heard,’Ohhh,”’ he said.
“You notice it more asyou go up through thehigher levels. Guys hita lot more things backthrough the box in thebig leagues,” he said. “Ididn’t lose conscious-ness at all.Unfortunately, I didn’t.So I felt everything thatcame with that.”
He remembers it allquite clearly.
“Once you get pastthe initial shock of,’Oh, my gosh! Thishurts!’ you let every-body know you’re OK.My parents were stilllooking, so I made sureI did something,”Jakubauskas said.
“When they first got outto me, they asked mehow if I had any neckpain, I said, ’I’m dizzyand my head’s killingme. I just wanted to laythere. I didn’t want toget up.”
There’s little a pitchercan do to get out of theway of a ball that takesseveral tenths of a sec-ond — yes, tenths — tozoom in on them. Goodwindups help a pitcherbecome square to theplate after hurling a 90mph pitch and be inproper fielding posi-tion, but sometimesthere is no time to getthe glove up anyway.Huff said he had notime to react.
Giants relieverJeremy Affeldt hasavoided three closecalls with liners at hishead this year.
“I don’t even thinkabout it,” he said.“Honestly, if a guy hitsthe ball up the middle,you think of it as anadvantage. ’I’m goingto get it and it’s an out.’I’ve had a lot of stuff hitup the middle againstme the last couple ofyears. I’m alwaysblocking stuff. A lot of
times when you leavethe ball over the plateit’s going to happen.”
Unlike the debateover banning metal bats— they create evenfaster line drives — inyouth leagues and highschool, there is notmuch major leaguebaseball can do to pro-tect pitchers.
“You really don’twant to see a pitcherwith a hockey maskpitching in the game, ora screen in front ofhim,” Indians managerManny Acta said. “Thegame has been playedfor almost 200 yearsthat way, and you don’twant to make thosedrastic changes.”
