Of course, there are some men who are interested only in sex, and you may be attracting the sort who take your attitude as a challenge. And you may be giving the wrong signals holding hands while walking or cuddling up at the movies, either of which a man may see as a preI ude to something more intimate. But if you are only looking for friendship. why does it have to be w1lh a man? Any person should do - male, female or whatever.

Of course, there are some men who are interested only in sex, and you may be attracting the sort who take your attitude as a challenge. And you may be giving the wrong signals holding hands while walking or cuddling up at the movies, either of which a man may see as a preI ude to something more intimate. But if you are only looking for friendship. why does it have to be w1lh a man? Any person should do - male, female or whatever.

And the same amiable practice is fol lowed in New York' s Union Square, and no doubt in all sons of other p l ac~s around the country. The First Amendment prohibi ts Congre ss from passing any law prohibiting this or any ot~er expression of opinion, and the prohibitio n · has wisely been imerpreted as applying equally to the New York City Council or any oiher law-making body.

The idea that the Constitution required Lee Bollinger to offer this avowed enemy of the United States a distinguished setting in which to peddle his propaganda is a nonstarter if there ever was o~e.

Gypsy moths are contest· ed in three zones with separate strategies for each zone. First is ·the - infested zone, where attempts are made to s'uppress the moth population, next is the transition zone where the emphasis is on slowing the spread of the moths, and last is the. uninfested zone, where isolated moth populations are targeted for eradication. Meigs County straddles the infested and transition zones. In Meigs County two substances are used to combat the moths: BtK a bio-insecticide derived from a naturally occurring bacterium found in the soil that causes the moth's stomach muscles to stop working. and synthetic gypsy moth pheromones impregnated into tiny plastic flakes that disrupt the male's ability to find the female. This year, 607 acres in . the county were treated with BtK while 12,500 acres were treated withpheromone flake s, Adkins said. No treatments are planned for 2008.

On London 's Hyde Park Corner all sorts of crackpots are allowed to set up soapboxes and harangue anyone who will listen (and there are alwavs a few) on any topic that strikes their fancy. And the same amiable practice is fol lowed in New York' s Union Square, and no doubt in all sons of other p l ac~s around the country. The First Amendment prohibi ts Congre ss from passing any law prohibiting this or any ot~er expression of opinion, and the prohibitio n · has wisely been imerpreted as applying equally to the New York City Council or any oiher law-making body.

There are hall s without ·number that could have been hired, and filled to capacity with people eager to applaud him (as a robust minority of the Columbia audienc.e did, to its shame). The idea that the Constitution required Lee Bollinger to offer this avowed enemy of the United States a distinguished setting in which to peddle his propaganda is a nonstarter if there ever was o~e. The right of free speech is too precious-to be perverted by a university president unable to tell a noble gesture from a cheap sturit.

Gypsy moths are contest· ed in three zones with separate strategies for each zone. First is ·the - infested zone, where attempts are made to s'uppress the moth population, next is the transition zone where the emphasis is on slowing the spread of the moths, and last is the. uninfested zone, where isolated moth populations are targeted for eradication. Meigs County straddles the infested and transition zones. In Meigs County two substances are used to combat the moths: BtK a bio-insecticide derived from a naturally occurring bacterium found in the soil that causes the moth's stomach muscles to stop working. and synthetic gypsy moth pheromones impregnated into tiny plastic flakes that disrupt the male's ability to find the female. This year, 607 acres in . the county were treated with BtK while 12,500 acres were treated withpheromone flake s, Adkins said. No treatments are planned for 2008.

In addition, students were shown the emergency equipment and turnout gear used by Racine firefighters, including tours of two fire trucks including Rescue 25 and Engine 27.

Not so in the undeveloped territories of Ghana and Togo. What was really ex perientially strange for me (although l knew it prior to my experience of it), was that we would be riding along in nearly complete darkness (s(!ve for the headlights of our vehicle) when suddenly we'd find ourselves driving through whole groups of people walking along the trail with no light among them at all. On one occasion, the · driver stopped and we all got out to stretch our legs while he confirmed that we were traveling towards the place we wanted to go. As l stood there, listening to the voices in the darkness around us, I gradually became aware that we were actually standing in a village of mud huts, their · forms hardly to be seen in the shadows all around us: And then, an hour later we came · to another village, only this one had some real buildings, one even with a light on as we drove by. l even found a man who had Diet Coke to sell (l bought one to wash down all the dust I'd been eating for the seven or eight hours prior). The point IS that I consider that perhaps l have taken the blessing of light a bit for granted. My thanks to the r r r r r professional s Jho work tirelessly, even. · harsh elements here in Ohio, to help us keep the lights on. Our friends in Africa don 't live in darkness by choice; there simply hasn't been the economic development there to make it happen in many places. I assume that it is because there have been too few incentives to make it happen (perhaps financial gam will become less an incentive for others and compassion for others more of one). In the meantime , darkness is what many people who live there are aGcustomed to though they hunger for more. Spiritually speaking, the parallel&are enormous fo r folks in our world today. On the one hand , many of us who "have the light" (the Truth Of the Gospel of Jesu s Christ) · take 11 for granted, underestimating the power of that light to illuminate our own paths in ·life today. On the other hand , many do not have "the light" and walk in the darkne.ss of despair, fear · and bondage to sin. . If we look with spiritual eyes, however, we will find that there are far more people striding up and down the highways and byways of daily routine, lost in darkness, than we could ever have imagined. We who have come to Christ r ·r r ·r r Jesu s. placing our fai.th in Him and receiving Hi s gift of salvation , must remember that thi s light to which we ' ve been call ed (the li ght of God's love) is not merely for our benefit, but for God's glory and for extending into the 'li ves of others who hitherto walk still in darkness. · "In (Jesus) was li fe , ·and that life was the li ght of men. The light shine s in the darkne ss, but the darkness has not understond it [nr overcome it) ... The true light that gives li ght to every man ... He was in the world, and thou gh the world was made through Him, the world d.id not recognize Him ... To all who received Him. to those who believed in His' name. He gave the right to become children of God - child re n born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband 's will , but born of God" · (John I :4-5. 9_a, . , 013 N!V). . There are two things that we must do with this light which has been entrusted to us. The first is simply to wal k in the ' li ght. " If we claim to have fellow ship with Him yet . walk in t(le darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light , we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus. His Son, ·r ·r ·r ·r ·r purifies us from all sin" (I John I :.6-7 N!V). The second is to share the light. "You are a chosen .people; a royal priesthood, a holy nation , a people belongi ng to God, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called yo u out of darkness into His wonderful light" ( I Peter 2:9 NIV). Let us each who then say we love God, sfmply strive to live in Hi s li ght and to share Hi s light with others that they may no longer walk in darkness but have fellow ship with us in the wonderful illumination of Hi s love! " You are the light of the world . A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, ' let your light shine before men , that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16N!V). (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in suuthem Ohio the past 12 years. He is the pastor of Pathway Community Church, which meets 011 Sunday momings at 455 Third Ave. He may be reached for comme11ts or questions by e-mail at pastorthom@pathwaygallipo/is.com). r -r ·r Secret Prager When Jesus advised his disciples to pmy in the confines and secrecy of their rooms. He was givi ng this advice ao; Pan of u broader'> criticism or public ctisplays of piety. The first verse of the sixth chapter of Matthew tells us to "Beware of practicing your piety before men in order 10 be seen by them; for then you will have no rewanl from your Father.who is in heaven." (Matthew 6.1) We probably cannot rid ourselves of :~I publiCdisplays of religion, unless we were to stop going 10 chureh and refrained from praying with others altogether. And, il is no1 the public nature of prayer thai Jesus is railing against here so much as il is the puffed up. hypocritical, almost hoasting anitude of the person who prays 10 make a show nf it In the Bible, Jesus frequently criticize.• those, like the Pharisees, who make a prelcntious show of their faith. In those days. this'was likely lo mean praying loudly in the synagogues, advertising one's ch(\rity,·or wearing broad phylac1eries lioxes (slt'apped around one's head or ann and containing quotes form scripture). Even 1nday. one docs not h8'c 10 look hanllo find the modem counterpan to these actions. Are there aspect< of our faith which are intended for others to sec? If so, we have our reward already. v.tm ;w give alns, cb mt let left rom kmoi W'at yutr right is cb:in;r, s::> that yurr alns nay te in secret; an:! oarr Fathar \..to ,.., in ..net will nwml ;w.

A porch light, a street driver (tried) to dodge the or security light, a light in a trc;e limbs and gulleys that window, a headlight, a unexpectedly crossed our . tlashlight, and so on, are paths. Eventually, the hours almost always present of daylight ran out and it got whenever people are predark. As the last of the sun 's se nt. Where- there are peo- ·r ·r ·r r ·r ·r r pie, there is light. Not so in the undeveloped territories of Ghana and Togo. What was really ex perientially strange for me (although l knew it prior to my experience of it), was that we would be riding along in nearly complete darkness (s(!ve for the headlights of our vehicle) when suddenly we'd find ourselves driving through whole groups of people walking along the trail with no light among them at all. On one occasion, the · driver stopped and we all got out to stretch our legs while he confirmed that we were traveling towards the place we wanted to go. As l stood there, listening to the voices in the darkness around us, I gradually became aware that we were actually standing in a village of mud huts, their · forms hardly to be seen in the shadows all around us: And then, an hour later we came · to another village, only this one had some real buildings, one even with a light on as we drove by. l even found a man who had Diet Coke to sell (l bought one to wash down all the dust I'd been eating for the seven or eight hours prior). The point IS that I consider that perhaps l have taken the blessing of light a bit for granted. My thanks to the r r r r r professional s Jho work tirelessly, even. · harsh elements here in Ohio, to help us keep the lights on. Our friends in Africa don 't live in darkness by choice; there simply hasn't been the economic development there to make it happen in many places. I assume that it is because there have been too few incentives to make it happen (perhaps financial gam will become less an incentive for others and compassion for others more of one). In the meantime , darkness is what many people who live there are aGcustomed to though they hunger for more. Spiritually speaking, the parallel&are enormous fo r folks in our world today. On the one hand , many of us who "have the light" (the Truth Of the Gospel of Jesu s Christ) · take 11 for granted, underestimating the power of that light to illuminate our own paths in ·life today. On the other hand , many do not have "the light" and walk in the darkne.ss of despair, fear · and bondage to sin. . If we look with spiritual eyes, however, we will find that there are far more people striding up and down the highways and byways of daily routine, lost in darkness, than we could ever have imagined. We who have come to Christ r ·r r ·r r Jesu s. placing our fai.th in Him and receiving Hi s gift of salvation , must remember that thi s light to which we ' ve been call ed (the li ght of God's love) is not merely for our benefit, but for God's glory and for extending into the 'li ves of others who hitherto walk still in darkness. · "In (Jesus) was li fe , ·and that life was the li ght of men. The light shine s in the darkne ss, but the darkness has not understond it [nr overcome it) ... The true light that gives li ght to every man ... He was in the world, and thou gh the world was made through Him, the world d.id not recognize Him ... To all who received Him. to those who believed in His' name. He gave the right to become children of God - child re n born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband 's will , but born of God" · (John I :4-5. 9_a, . , 013 N!V). . There are two things that we must do with this light which has been entrusted to us. The first is simply to wal k in the ' li ght. " If we claim to have fellow ship with Him yet . walk in t(le darkness, we lie and do not live by the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light , we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus. His Son, ·r ·r ·r ·r ·r purifies us from all sin" (I John I :.6-7 N!V). The second is to share the light. "You are a chosen .people; a royal priesthood, a holy nation , a people belongi ng to God, that you may declare the praises of Him Who called yo u out of darkness into His wonderful light" ( I Peter 2:9 NIV). Let us each who then say we love God, sfmply strive to live in Hi s li ght and to share Hi s light with others that they may no longer walk in darkness but have fellow ship with us in the wonderful illumination of Hi s love! " You are the light of the world . A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, ' let your light shine before men , that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:14-16N!V).

Box 1 538, Gastonia, NC TALLADEGA, Ala. - Dave Blaney gave Toyota its best finish of the season and forged ahead in NASCAR's "other point race." By finishing third in the UAW-Ford 500, Blaney, who drives the No. 22 Camry of Bill Davis Racing, moved his team into the top 35 in the Nextel Cup Series' owner points. The top 35 have automatic spots in the starting lineup each week. Toyota drivers .dominated Talladega Superspeedway . qualifying, nailing down five of the top six spots with Michael Waltrip and Blaney starting on the front row: Blaney, however, was the only Toyota driver who managed to do well on race day. "We had a good race," said Blaney. "Our first goal was to get back in the top 35 in points, so I had to take care of the car all day. I didn't want to do anything to put it in harm's way. I was way more cautious than rprobably wanted to be. "I just got with the right group of cars there at the end. I was lucky enough to get behind the '24' (winner Jeff Gordon) and '48' (runner-up Jimmie Johnson), getting pushed by the '99' (Carl Edwards, who slumped to f41h on the final lap). I was in a good group. I could've easily run 23rd, but here, it's all about the group you're with." Blaney, .once a World of Outlaws sprint-car champion, is now a veteran of 262 Cup starts, yet Talladega marked only the third top-five finish of his career. Third place matched his career best. Blaney also finished third in a Darlington, S.C., race run on March 16, 2003. He will turn 45 on Oct. 24. Blaney, a native of Hartford, Ohio, agreed with most other drivers when he gave the Car of Tomorrow mixed reviews in it·s first appearance at a restrictor-plate track. "It just made it hard to get that second line going," said Blaney. "The middle lane is usually fast, but this time it was really slow. It was hard to get two wide or three wide and compete. The top lane took over. The COT package is all right here, but it maybe needs tweaking a little bit." Referring to Toyota's qualifying performances, Blaney said: "I think our restrictor-plate engines are better compared to the field than our open engines are, but I don't think we have an advantage. We're just even. " I Want to read more from Monte Dutton?

Asked how much he had learned this year, Montoya smiled and said: "A lot. . A lot more than I thought I would . ... I think we've done a lot. Looking back at it, I think it's been a good year. Do you want a better year? Yeah, but I can't complain that it hasn't been a good year forme. "It's really tough, especial· ly when you come from open-wheel, where, when you have a bad day you're fifth, sixth, maybe seventh. Here, when you have a bad day, you're 35th. Everything I ran before had about 18 to 20 cars, where here, 51 cars are trying to make the race , so that makes it really exciting." • LMS on the move? - Track owner Bruton Smith, angered at encroachments by the City of Concord on his always ambitious plans, threatened to shut down Lowe's Motor Speedway and build another track somewhere else in the Nonh Carolina region. For those who question whether he would shut down a track of such history and value, Smith's response is that renovating LMS in a manner he considers befitting would prob· ably require an investment of $200 million. Why not spend $350 million and erect a new palace from scratch? The bone of contention is the drag strip Smith wants to build near the present location of Tom Johnson Camping Center, near The Dirt Track. The site is almost bordered by a golf course, and it's close to a batch of rapidly growing, upscale housing developments that have risen in the past few yearfi.

Box 1 538, Gastonia, NC TALLADEGA, Ala. - Dave Blaney gave Toyota its best finish of the season and forged ahead in NASCAR's "other point race." By finishing third in the UAW-Ford 500, Blaney, who drives the No. 22 Camry of Bill Davis Racing, moved his team into the top 35 in the Nextel Cup Series' owner points. The top 35 have automatic spots in the starting lineup each week. Toyota drivers .dominated Talladega Superspeedway . qualifying, nailing down five of the top six spots with Michael Waltrip and Blaney starting on the front row: Blaney, however, was the only Toyota driver who managed to do well on race day. "We had a good race," said Blaney. "Our first goal was to get back in the top 35 in points, so I had to take care of the car all day. I didn't want to do anything to put it in harm's way. I was way more cautious than rprobably wanted to be. "I just got with the right group of cars there at the end. I was lucky enough to get behind the '24' (winner Jeff Gordon) and '48' (runner-up Jimmie Johnson), getting pushed by the '99' (Carl Edwards, who slumped to f41h on the final lap). I was in a good group. I could've easily run 23rd, but here, it's all about the group you're with." Blaney, .once a World of Outlaws sprint-car champion, is now a veteran of 262 Cup starts, yet Talladega marked only the third top-five finish of his career. Third place matched his career best. Blaney also finished third in a Darlington, S.C., race run on March 16, 2003. He will turn 45 on Oct. 24. Blaney, a native of Hartford, Ohio, agreed with most other drivers when he gave the Car of Tomorrow mixed reviews in it·s first appearance at a restrictor-plate track. "It just made it hard to get that second line going," said Blaney. "The middle lane is usually fast, but this time it was really slow. It was hard to get two wide or three wide and compete. The top lane took over. The COT package is all right here, but it maybe needs tweaking a little bit." Referring to Toyota's qualifying performances, Blaney said: "I think our restrictor-plate engines are better compared to the field than our open engines are, but I don't think we have an advantage. We're just even. " I Want to read more from Monte Dutton?

Asked how much he had learned this year, Montoya smiled and said: "A lot. . A lot more than I thought I would . ... I think we've done a lot. Looking back at it, I think it's been a good year. Do you want a better year? Yeah, but I can't complain that it hasn't been a good year forme. "It's really tough, especial· ly when you come from open-wheel, where, when you have a bad day you're fifth, sixth, maybe seventh. Here, when you have a bad day, you're 35th. Everything I ran before had about 18 to 20 cars, where here, 51 cars are trying to make the race , so that makes it really exciting." • LMS on the move? - Track owner Bruton Smith, angered at encroachments by the City of Concord on his always ambitious plans, threatened to shut down Lowe's Motor Speedway and build another track somewhere else in the Nonh Carolina region. For those who question whether he would shut down a track of such history and value, Smith's response is that renovating LMS in a manner he considers befitting would prob· ably require an investment of $200 million. Why not spend $350 million and erect a new palace from scratch? The bone of contention is the drag strip Smith wants to build near the present location of Tom Johnson Camping Center, near The Dirt Track. The site is almost bordered by a golf course, and it's close to a batch of rapidly growing, upscale housing developments that have risen in the past few yearfi. Therein lies the rub - not to mention the political op- drafting would be commonly "Both these men brought position- that has put Smith at employed in the race, NASCAR something different to the odds with the City of Concord. officials didn't want it to take sport," said Don Miller, coplace in practice sessions. founder and chairman of the That's why they made Denny Hall.

Rehring and his fellow offensive linemen have been playing well whatever the starting time recently after not dominating as much as expected early against Akron and Youngstown State.

"It's kind of fun to get out there and try to hit a cornerback," he said. "If you get them, it's fun, but they can make you look pretty bad at times."

In Ohio, an estimated 80,000 residents live in nearly I ,000 nursing homes, and approximately 33,000 more live in assisted living facilities. National Long-Term Care Residents' Rights Week is observed this week, Oct. 7-13, to celebrate these citizens and to preserve their roles as community members and citizens, including the right to have· a say in their care. "All residents should be aware of their rights so t~ey may be empowered to live with dignity and self-determination," said Barbara E. Riley, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. "I want to thank Ohio's nursing homes and our regional ombudsmen for working together to ensure the rights of nursing home re's idents." . The federal Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 guarantees residents their individual rights in order to promote and maintain their dignity and autonomy. Among these rights are the right to have visitors and to have their own belongings, the right to know their health conditions and the right to decide how they want to spend their days. · "The theme of Residents' Rights Week ·Advancing · Excellence: A Resident's Perspective on Quality' - emphasizes the importance of affirming these rights through facility practices, public policy and residentcentered decision-making that impacts both . quality of care and quality of life," added Beverley Laubert, state long-term care ombudsman. In Ohio, more than a third (36.7 percent) of licensed nursing homes are doing their part to ensure their residents' quality of life by voluntarily enrolling in the Advancing Excellence in America-'s Nursing Homes campaign, a coalition of long-term care providers, caregivers, medical and quality improvement experts, government agencies, consumers and others, working to improve the quality of care and quality of life for those living or recuperating in America's nursing homes . Also joining the campaign are approximately IPil Ohioans representing long-term care con sumers, family members, ombudsmen and others concerned about nursing home quality. A Residents' Rights brochure is available from Ohio's Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman at 1-800-282-1206. Ohio's Ombudsmen advocate for people receiving long-term care . They work with providers, residents, their families and other representatives to resolve probl,ems and concerns. Ombudsmen link residents with services or agencies, inform consumers about their ' rights, offer advice on selecting long-term. <;a,re . providers and provide information and assistance with benefits and insurance.

The website, www.epa.gov/aging, is an effort to reach older adul h. \: aregivers and people with chronic diseases to educate th , 11. :1hout environmental health hazards. Information is a Jlll'', d u I tool; particularly in the hands of the people who need it the most. A major aspect of our initiative is public education, so the EPA has devel.oped fact sheets that outline sjmple and important preventative steps to reduce exposure to environmental h~zards and prote~t. ones' health, particularly for older adults w1th chrome conditiOns such as heart disease, stroke, asthma , ~nd COP!J. The website includes copies of these fact sheets, mformatwn on programs such as "Building Healthy Commun!t!es for Active Aging," relev,a 0 t news, and grant opportumt1es. · · Due to the normal aging process, even older persons in good health .may experience increased health risks from exposures to env1~onmental pollutants . As we age, our bodies are more susceptible to hazards from the environment which may worsen chronic or life threate~ing conditi.ons. Older persons also ~ave accumulated a hf~t1me of environmental and occupatJOn~l contammants wh1ch are capable of remaining in their · bod1es. A_ major goal of the Aging Initiative is the developmeni of a Nat10nal Agenda for the Environment and the Aging. :·The National Agenda will prioritize environmental health hazards that aff~ct older P~.rso~s. examine the environmental impact of an a~mg ~opulat1on m a smart growth context, and encoura_ge c1v1c mvolvement among older persons in their communities to reduce hazards . · ~he National Agenda for the Environment and the Aging, bemg d~veloped throuph a public participatory process , will help gUJde the agency s work to protect the health of older persons now and in the future .

In Ohio, an estimated 80,000 residents live in nearly I ,000 nursing homes, and approximately 33,000 more live in assisted living facilities. National Long-Term Care Residents' Rights Week is observed this week, Oct. 7-13, to celebrate these citizens and to preserve their roles as community members and citizens, including the right to have· a say in their care. "All residents should be aware of their rights so t~ey may be empowered to live with dignity and self-determination," said Barbara E. Riley, director of the Ohio Department of Aging. "I want to thank Ohio's nursing homes and our regional ombudsmen for working together to ensure the rights of nursing home re's idents." . The federal Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987 guarantees residents their individual rights in order to promote and maintain their dignity and autonomy. Among these rights are the right to have visitors and to have their own belongings, the right to know their health conditions and the right to decide how they want to spend their days. · "The theme of Residents' Rights Week ·Advancing · Excellence: A Resident's Perspective on Quality' - emphasizes the importance of affirming these rights through facility practices, public policy and residentcentered decision-making that impacts both . quality of care and quality of life," added Beverley Laubert, state long-term care ombudsman. In Ohio, more than a third (36.7 percent) of licensed nursing homes are doing their part to ensure their residents' quality of life by voluntarily enrolling in the Advancing Excellence in America-'s Nursing Homes campaign, a coalition of long-term care providers, caregivers, medical and quality improvement experts, government agencies, consumers and others, working to improve the quality of care and quality of life for those living or recuperating in America's nursing homes . Also joining the campaign are approximately IPil Ohioans representing long-term care con sumers, family members, ombudsmen and others concerned about nursing home quality. A Residents' Rights brochure is available from Ohio's Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman at 1-800-282-1206. Ohio's Ombudsmen advocate for people receiving long-term care . They work with providers, residents, their families and other representatives to resolve probl,ems and concerns. Ombudsmen link residents with services or agencies, inform consumers about their ' rights, offer advice on selecting long-term. <;a,re . providers and provide information and assistance with benefits and insurance.

Particularl'y if one parent has passed away, deciding how to best provide for an aging parent once it's clear they can no longer live independently is difficult. Oftentimes, a part of such a decision is b~sed on whe!her or not to put a parent m a nursing home . Nursing homes can vary greatly on quality of care , but there are also several other pros and cons to consider. .• The Good While all adults are understandably fearful of putting their parents' care into the hands of complete strangers , nursing homes can be very beneficial.
