He was a member of Old ML Zion-Epworth Baptist Church GREENWOOD Robert and Eleanor Zeh of Greenwood are proof you're never too old to win gold medals. The 82-year-old couple, a few days after celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary, brought home five gold medals from the recent Upper Savannah Senior Sports Classic at Savannah Lakes Village in McCormick.

They earned gold in the 80-and-over age division in putt putt golf, shuffleboard and bocce ball. "Our 16-year-old granddaughter got so excited to hear her grandparents won gold medals," Eleanor says, with a big smile. "She thought that was really great." Robert won three golds while Eleanor, who did not play shuffle-board, earned two. They were two of 337 who signed up for the Senior Sports Gassic held over three days in Greenwood and McCormick. "We had fun," says Robert, who recommends participation in the Games.

"It encourages seniors to get into some sports activities where otherwise they might not have the incentive or opportunity." The activities in which athletes participated by age division included track and field, swimming, tennis, golf, bowlingbasketball, rac-quetbalL spin casting, shuffleboard, bocce ball, croquet, table tennis, putt putt, and horseshoes. The oldest gold medal winners were 87-year-olds Mary McCain of North Augusta in basketball free throw and spin casting, and Ouida Shaw of Ware Shoals in bowling in Greenwood Sept. 26. The biggest overall winner with 11 medals and ribbons was Ken Frazier of Chappells, who won seven golds, two silvers and two bronzes. The top gold medal winner was Evert Prior of McCormick with nine, eight of those won in events at the Greenwood YMCA.

The oldest gold medal winner last week at Savannah Lakes was 84-year-old Christine Henderson in horseshoes. Another 84-year-old, Ruth Garvey, placed second twice to Eleanor in bocce ball and putt putt. The Zehs were among a contingent of eight Greenwood Methodist Home residents who participated. The others were Ruth and Ed Garvey, Bette and Harold Hoogerhyde, Jean Starke, and Marilyn Eaton. The Zehs had experience in one of their gold-medal winning sports, bocce ball.

Unknown to many people in this area, bocce bait requires where he was a former choir member, mason and treasurer of the missionary. Surviving are a son, Henry O. Watts of Greenwood; four daughters, Glorietta W. Jones and Corressa W. Warren of HENRY WATTS BOB ZEH at Savannah Lakes one player to roll a small yellow ball onto a grass court, then both players try to roll their balls closest to the yellow one.

The player with the ball(s) closest to the yellow earn points. Bocce ball is similar to lawn bowling. The Zehs came to Greenwood from Sun City Center, a retirement community where international lawn bowling tournaments were played. They learned there that the object of bocce ball or lawn bowling is to roll the balls, not throw them as many Senior Sports Gassic participants did. "You can be much more accurate if you roll the ball.

Whenever you throw it in the air and it bounces on the ground, it will stop," Robert says. "Instead of rolling it, I threw it up in the air and it came down and put a hole in the green. They didn't want me out there anymore," said Eleanor, laughing when thinking back to her Florida experience. "I really rolled the ball the other day at Savannah Lakes. I could see the difference between those who were throwing it and those who were rolling it." Will the Zehs participate again next year? Robert says, confidently, "Sure.

Why not?"

AIKEN (AP) An Aiken County teacher is on administrative leave while school district officials investigate a seventh-grade student's complaint that she drew a "big blue line" down his face as punishment for being tardy. The honor student's mother said he was embarrassed and upset by Thursday's incident, which apparently is a class tradition at Kennedy Middle School. She has hired a lawyer to explore the family's options, the Aiken Standard reported Tuesday.

The blue line, which extended from the boy's hairline over the bridge of his nose, allegedly was drawn by Karen Baker, who teaches language arts and reading. The teen's mother said he had stopped by the restroom and was about a minute late to class. Ms. Baker had shut the door when the LOCALISMS The Savannah River Scenic Highway runs through Abbeville County on the west side along Lake Russell and through the towns of Lowndesville and Calhoun Falls.

Only the Marine Corps segregates men and women in basic training. The Rand report was released Tuesday by the Pentagon as officials braced for the release of another study today by the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services. Pentagon officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the report by the panel will show that sexual harassment on military bases in Alaska and the Pacific had much to do with how leaders handled the issue. The issues of same-sex training and women in the military have come under increased scrutiny in Congress in recent months, particularly in the wake of the Army's numerous sexual harassment cases and courts-martial. WASHINGTON (AP) A majority of enlisted men and women in the military believe they should train together, and that women should be allowed to serve in ground combat units, a study found.

"Gender integration is perceived to have a relatively small effect on readiness, cohesion and morale in the -units we studied," the report stated. "Both men and women, contended that women perform about as well as men." Defense Secretary William Cohen issued a statement saying he was pleased by the report. "More needs to be done to improve career opportunities for women in the military. We can and will do more. America's sons and daughters deserve no less," he said.

The study, conducted over a three-month period in the past year by the Rand found that 80 percent of women and half the men support allowing women in ground combat units..
