Dear Amy: Recently, our adult daughter "Clare" a s k e d us for $4,000 to help her daughter attend an extremely expensive college ($75,000 a year) on the East Coast. We had already just given Clare $5,000 ( for another purpose), and we offered tuition and housing for community college. She refused.
Riding For Our Veterans is an organized group that raises money by having Bull Rides with the proceeds benefiting local veterans organizations such as the VFW, American Legion in Chillicothe, Hugs from Home of Gallatin, along with four others. Riding For Our Veterans Bull Ride was in Chillicothe Friday and Saturday night at the Litton Ag Center. This year was the seventh annual year of Riding four Our Veterans at Chillicothe. Hopefully, we see those feisty bulls next year and help out as many soldiers as we can. Javon Kille Javon Kille

CARROLL, Iowa — Less than 24 hours after actual lightning prevent them from completing the second game of their would-be series against the Joplin Outlaws at home, the Chillicothe Mudcats learned that, while – euphemistically – true lightning isn’t supposed to strike twice in the same place, figurative “lightning” knows no such bounds.
With seemingly a good opportunity to generate some turnaround momentum after a sharp home win over the defending MINK League champion ended their season-starting 4-games losing streak, the Chillicothe Mudcats – with numerous early-season regulars not in their lineup, despite an open date the previous day – instead produced a flatline performance that resulted in a surprising 11-1 7-innings home loss to the previously-winless Des Moines (Iowa) Peak Prospects last Thursday.
The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs estimates that around eight million adults in the United States experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a given year. Women experience PTSD at a much greater rate than men. Estimates from the USDVA indicate that 10 percent of women and 4 percent of men are affected by PTSD. Instances of PTSD are similarly prevalent in Canada, where the Canadian Psychological Association estimates that around 8 percent of Canadians who experience a traumatic event develop PTSD. Though no one is immune to PTSD, rates of the disorder among combat veterans are significantly higher than the rates among the general population. US- DVA reports that one study of 1,938 veterans found that the prevalence rate among Gulf War veterans was around 14 percent, while an older study from the American Psychological Association found that about 30 percent of Vietnam War veterans had PTSD in their lifetime.

Quickly identifying what's behind car noises can make for safer driving and potentially save drivers substantial amounts of money.
