Jim Thorpe's girls' basketball head coach Rob Kovac must have heard voices in his head while the number of his team's victories were dropping from 21 just two years ago to only one win last season.

The voices were saying, "Be patient and keep with the plan."

And Kovac, in his seventh season mentoring the Lady Olympians, is listening.

"We need experience and this year we have everyone back, so the more games we play the more practice we will get with the skills that are utilized in a basketball game."

In an article published in early October in his syndicated column, "Stone Age Doc," Dr. Phillip J. Goscienski wrote that grains, sugar, and dairy products food sources not used by humans hundreds of thousands of years ago when our present "body chemistry" was being formed now comprise more than 70 percent of the world's caloric intake.
