NITEROI, Brazil - A Paola girl visiting Brazil as an exchange student is recovering from a back injury she suffered recently while rock climbing. Amanda McVey is wearing a brace but still has not returned to classes following a Feb. 15 fall in which she frac- tured a bone in her lower back. McVey, a member of the Paola High School class of 2000, went to Niter- oi, Brazil, in Augustas a participant in the Rotary Youth Exchange program. McVey was climbing rocks near a waterfall with members of her host family when she slipped and fell between 20 and 30 feet, falling through the waterfall and into a pool below.
