Forked Run river sweep FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com AEP Phillip Sporn Plant projected to fully close by Dec. 2014 BY HOPE ROUSH HROUSH@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM NEW HAVEN — On Thursday, American Electric Power (AEP) announced that several plant locations are set to retire in response to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. According to AEP, plant closures must happen in order for the company to comply with the recently proposed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, which impact coal-fueled power plants. Based on these regulations, AEP’s compliance plan calls for the retirement of nearly 6,000 megawatts of coal-fueled power generation. Among the plants set to retire is the AEP Phillip Sporn Plant in New Haven. The coal-fueled power plant, which operates 1,050 megawatts, is expected to fully retire by Dec. 31, 2014. However, 450 megawatts, which comprises unit five of the facility, is slated for closure this year. According to Melissa McHenry, AEP media relations, the Phillip Sporn Plant closure is expected to impact 120 employees. McHenry said that AEP intends to help those affected as much as they can. “We would look for opportunities where we could move as many employees as possible to work in other AEP plants,” she added. According to McHenry, there are no plans at this time to close AEP Mountaineer, also located in New Haven, or AEP Gavin, located in Cheshire, Ohio. “At Gavin, we have made extensive plans to comply with regulations. We are currently working to upgrade our sulfur dioxide scrubbers. We are doing what we need to do there for compliance — See AEP, A3 AEP announced Thursday that several plant locations, including Philip Sporn, are set to retire in response to increasingly stringent environmental regulations. This could mean the loss of 120 regional jobs.

(Beth Sergent/photos) See Plea, A3 Meigs affected by Sporn closing BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE — For years, American Electric Power’s Philip Sporn Plant has cast a literal shadow on the Village of Racine and now it appears that shadow will go silent. On Thursday, when AEP warned Philip Sporn would be one of five coal-fired plants being shut down, residents in Meigs County were shocked, even though the facility sits in neighboring Mason County, W.Va. Jeff Circle of Racine is president of the Carpenters Local 650 out of Pomeroy which has roughly 211 members. Circle expressed his shock at the plant closing and his concern over just how many jobs would be lost. AEP estimates the closings — which include five plants in all — will result in a total loss of 600 jobs, but Circle says this doesn’t include how it will affect the coal industry, the maintenance and construction jobs and the money those employees pump into the local economy by simply buying lunch or gallons of gasoline at local businesses. “A lot of jobs have been lost because of these (EPA) regulations,” Circle said. “Unless the EPA lets us build new plants around here, there’s going to be a real problem in the future. As far as protecting customers, AEP might be in the short term but it’s going to be more expensive in the long run because (the income from those jobs) trickle down, and it’s going to hit the area hard.” Circle sees the closure of the plant as another hit labor is taking, saying its being hit from all sides, particularly with Senate Bill 5 being passed. As for where the plant closure leaves Meigs County, Circle said, “the same place it has always been, in the bottom of the hole.” Nachy Kanfer of the Sierra Club’s office in Columbus, said the closing of these coal plants See Sporn, A3 Middleport association plans new holiday event BY BRIAN J.

Former Pomeroy Administrator pleads guilty MIDDLEPORT — It takes time and planning to carry off a successful holiday event. That’s why the Middleport Community Association is already turning its attention to Christmas. The association has begun plans for a Christmas Market, to be held in conjunction with the village’s Christmas parade on Dec. 3. Crafts and homemade food items will be the focus of the market, which organizers hope will attract local artisans and crafters. President Debbie Gerlach said the association has already begun to contact potential vendors for the market. A small fee of $20 will be charged to help defray the costs of the holiday event, which will also include caroling, horse-drawn carriage rides, a Community Band concert and other annual activities. The market has been scheduled for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will be held downtown. Vendors interested in participating might receive a letter. Otherwise, they can call Gerlach at 992-5877 or Texanna Wehrung, 992- 1121. During the association’s monthly meeting, members discussed the beautification of the downtown shopping district. Gerlach recognized a donation from Bob’s Market and Greenhouses, Mason, W.Va. The association has spent $182 for flowers and soil, and members have volunteered to plant the flowers and clean the streets. Valley Lumber, Middleport, will make 15 boxes to surround the trees along the street downtown. The most recent Lunch Along the River, held during the warm months on the first Wednesday of each month, raised $311 after expenses. Proceeds from the monthly lunches go toward association events, July 4 being the next upcoming celebration. Gerlach noted the association delivers meals to Middleport and Pomeroy, if arrangements are made in advance. The association’s bank balance is $5,509. The association hopes to raise $2,500 additional in order to finance the July 4 fireworks and other celebration expenses. The association’s next regular meeting will be July 5 at the Peoples Bank. Pomeroy firm awarded Scipio construction bid BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Bids were opened on new construction at the ball fields in Harrisonville Thursday — another project to be funded through Meigs County’s Community Development Block Grant formula program. At their regular weekly meeting, Meigs County Commissioners opened two bids for the project, to be funded through last year’s CDBG formula allocation. Banks Construction Co., Pomeroy, was the apparent low bidder, with a proposal of $33,732. A second bid, from Hoon, Inc., Athens, was for $27,432. Commissioners tabled action on the bids until they are reviewed by Grants Administrator Jean Trussell and Scipio Township Trustees, who applied for and received the grant award. Trussell said the engineer’s estimate on the construction project was $24,960. Commissioners awarded.a bid for $24,840 to Rose’s Excavating, Racine, for a drainage project in Racine’s Star Mill Park.

Sporn From Page A1 are a national business and local story and the theme of these stories is an over reliance on coal in areas where an economy hasn’t diversified enough to withstand the industry taking a hit. “AEP is expressing its business belief that it’s over exposed to coal and has too many coal plants it doesn’t need, and the cost is too much to bring the older plants up to snuff,” Kanfer said, also saying the state hasn’t invested enough in diversifying the economy when it comes to energy. “There will be pretty major health benefits associated with that plant ceasing to produce pollution, but I can see how that will be very bittersweet for a lot of people,” Kanfer said of those who will lose their jobs. “The Sierra Club also believes AEP owes it to the local community to carry out a plan without layoffs and offer early retirement or a transfer to other plants as much as possible.” As for the argument more stringent air regulations will raise the cost of electric bills, Kanfer said AEP shutting down Philip Sporn will actually lower electric bills because the more expensive thing to do is to continue to invest in a coal plant.

Even so, residents and officials in surrounding counties across the region are very concerned about the widespread economic impact of the pending Philip Sporn Plant closure. "I'm sure there will be people that live in Gallia County who will be affected by that (plant closing), the loss of those jobs will be devastating, not just for people who work at the plant but those who work construction jobs at the plant," said Lois Snyder, president of the Gallia County Board of Commissioners. "This will impact people working outside of Gallia County who live in Gallia County, it will impact sales taxes...it will have a huge impact to the county." In addition to retiring plants, AEP’s compliance plan also intends to upgrade or install new advanced emissions reduction equipment on another 10,100 megawatts; refuel 1,070 megawatts of coal generation as 932 megawatts of natural gas capacity; and build 1,220 megawatts of natural gas-fueled generation. The cost of AEP’s compliance plan could range from $6 billion to $8 billion in capital investment through the end of the decade. High demand for labor and materials due to a constrained compliance time frame also could drive actual costs higher than these estimates. However, the plan, including retirements, could change significantly depending on the final form of the EPA regulations and regulatory approvals from state commissions. The retirements and retrofits in the plan are in addition to more than $7.2 billion that AEP has invested since 1990 to reduce emissions from its coal-fueled generation fleet. Annual emissions of nitrogen oxides from AEP plants are 80 percent lower today compared to 1990. The company currently owns nearly 25,000 megawatts of coal-fueled generation — approximately 65 percent of its total generating capacity. Coal would fuel approximately 57 percent of AEP’s total generating capacity by the end of the decade. “We support regulations that achieve long-term environmental benefits while protecting customers, the economy and the reliability of the electric grid, but the cumulative impacts of the EPA’s current regulatory path have been vastly underestimated, particularly in Midwest states dependent on coal to fuel their economies. We have worked for months to develop a compliance plan that will mitigate the impact of these rules for our customers and preserve jobs, but because of the unrealistic compliance timelines in the EPA proposals, we will have to prematurely shut down nearly 25 percent of our current coalfueled generating capacity, cut hundreds of good power plant jobs, and invest billions of dollars in capital to retire, retrofit and replace coal-fueled power plants. The sudden increase in electricity rates and impacts on state economies will be significant at a time when people and states are still struggling,” Michael G. Morris, AEP chairman and chief executive officer, said in a news release. Although some jobs would be created from the installation of emissions reduction equipment, AEP expects a net loss of approximately 600 power plant jobs with annual wages totaling approximately $40 million as a result of compliance with the proposed EPA rules. AEP has shared their compliance plan with PJM Interconnection, Southwest Power Pool and North American Electric Reliability Corp. for use in their evaluation of the impacts of the EPA’s proposed rules. “We will continue to work through the EPA process with the hope that the agency will recognize the cumulative impact of the proposed rules and develop a more reasonable compliance schedule. We also will continue talking with lawmakers in Washington about a legislative approach that would achieve the same long-term environmental goals with less negative impact on jobs and the U.S. economy,” Morris said. “With more time and flexibility, we will get to the same level of emission reductions, but it will cost our customers less and will prevent premature job losses, extend the construction job benefits and ensure the ongoing reliability of the electric system.” Heartland Publications staff writer Beth Sergent contributed to this story. Plea From Page A1 Anderson was the village administrator of Pomeroy from approximately 1989 to 2009. Part of his job duties included responsibility for the operation of the village’s wastewater treatment plant, including filing the required reports with the State of Ohio. The plant discharges the treated sewage to the Ohio River. The plant has a permit issued by Ohio EPA that limits the amount of pollution that can be discharged into the Ohio River. Discharge limits have been established to protect human health and the environment. The permit also requires the sampling of the discharge from the plant to ensure that not too much pollution is being discharged into the Ohio River. According to the US Department of Justice press release, on one occasion in 2007 and one occasion in 2008, Ohio EPA inspectors found the plant to be in an unsatisfactory condition in that large quantities of solids were being discharged into the Ohio River. The release goes on to say, “during 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009, Anderson, on some occasions, failed to collect and/or analyze the required samples from the plant. Because samples were not taken and/or analyzed, there is no way to verify if the plant's discharge was below or above the applicable permit limits. However, Anderson did not report that he failed to collect and/or analyze the samples. Instead, on those occasions, Anderson fabricated numbers for several pollutants, including solids and fecal coliform bacteria, and submitted the fabricated numbers to Ohio EPA. The fabricated numbers misrepresented that the plant was in compliance with the permit.” “The plea agreement includes a recommended sentence of three years of probation including 12 months of home confinement and 104 hours of community service,” Stewart said. “Judge Economus will set a date for sentencing.” “Our natural resources must be protected from illegal discharges,” said Randall K. Ashe, special agent in charge of US EPA’s criminal enforcement program in Ohio. “This prosecution sends a clear message that lying to regulators will not be tolerated and will be vigorously prosecuted.” The Pomeroy Merchants Association proudly presents The Duck Derby at this years Sternwheeler Festival.

ATTEND CHURCH �Page A4 FAITH & VALUES Getting up, on, A Hunger For More and over to Victory BY CARRIE WOLFE Last week we talked about our God being bigger. Nothing is greater, bigger than God. Not even the sum total of all sin, even all evil is greater than God. The sum total of the power of every demon, ever, is still not greater than God. He is the Lord God Almighty and He indeed reigns! We need to truly realize this, taking it into our very marrow. It is imperative that we do if we want to do more than just barely hang on until the second coming or we die. We are to be conquerors, not hangers-on! Where's the victory in just hanging on until Christ comes? We are to be bearing fruit for the kingdom, not staring up into the sky waiting to be called up and out! Come on church and get this! God wants and expects more from us. We may be sheep, but we are not amoebas! Please don't pull out that worn out excuse about not being good enough. It is just insulting to Jesus. God can use anyone, anywhere that is simply willing and realizes God is indeed God. Look at Rahab. Rahab was a harlot, a hooker, a prostitute. Read about her in Joshua 2 and Joshua 6. She had only heard of the things God had done for Israel in leading them out of Egypt and she believed. She gave aid to the spies of Israel in Jericho. In return, her family was spared. She was an amazing woman to have such faith in God as to assist Israel they way she did. We can learn a great deal from her! She truly got up, got on, got over! She got up and looked around her. She was paying attention to what the Lord was trying to tell her. He was revealing Himself to her and she paid attention. She got her head up out of the sand. She got up. Then she got on board with what the Lord is and who He is. She recognized His authority, power and utter divinity. Carrie Wolfe She realized He was at work in the situation. He IS God and she got on board with that. She got over her surroundings and circumstances. She was turning her back on childhood friends. She was getting over the fact that her home would be destroyed and everything was about to change. She was seeking God more. She got over her situation and helped Israel. Then she got it! She received the blessing. Rahab did not only make provision and partition for her parents and family, she made The List! In Matthew 1:5-6 we find Rahab again. "Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David the king." From David came the line of blessing to the Messiah, Jesus the Christ! Only two women are mentioned in the lineage, both were gentiles. One of them was Rahab! Get up and see what Jesus is trying to tell you, make you aware of! Get on board with His plan for you! Get over the fact things are going to have to change in you and your life! And finally GET IT! Get the blessing and the promise Jesus has been trying to give you for years, yet you have been too stubborn, too prideful, too blind to receive! Get up, get on, get over and get it! Do it today and finally live a life of Grace Out Loud! Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T (Carrie Wolfe is the senior pastor of Beacon Ministries in Syracuse, Ohio.) The question of our experiencing real and lasting peace in our lives can only be answered by whether or not Jesus sits at the center of our ambitions and desires. Furthermore, the only real measure by which we may know if Christ is Lord of our lives is whether or not He rules our decisions, our habits, and our attitudes. We may not be able to achieve what could be called “perfection” per se (e.g., as in our never again making a mistake or having a selfish thought, etc.), we CAN conclude from God’s Word that He deeply desires and even requires our intentional surrender to His loving authority in the living of our lives. Inasmuch as we daily place ourselves at His feet and under His banner of lordship, we can be confident that we are giving to Him “the one thing needed” – which is our complete and utter devotion. “Jesus replied: ‘“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments’” (Matthew 22:34-40 NIV). The practical application of these truths often proves elusive however. One might say, “That’s all very well and good, but HOW do I put that into practice? If I find myself lacking in this kind of peace and see that I’m not loving God with all my heart, soul, and strength, HOW do I move my heart from where it is in its bondage to things, to where it ought to be, which is freedom in Christ?” To begin with, just know that God understands our character and that His Holy Spirit can work in the heart of a person who is actively seeking to please Him through faith in Christ Jesus. Next, consider the disciplines that our Heavenly Father has Thom Mollohan granted us so that we might be lifted out of the muddled bog that compulsion, instinct, and social pressure create for us. If your reaction to the word “discipline” is one of loathing and your perception of it is that of punishment, I’m not using the word that way. In the way that the word should be used, “discipline” refers to an activity that puts our priorities in their proper place and gives us control over our physical, mental, and spiritual faculties, making them our servants in the pursuit of our high calling in Christ. Disciplines such as worship, prayer, fasting, and service can sometimes be personal and private and at other times be corporate and part of a shared experience among Christians in community. There is by no means enough space to thoroughly talk about all the various disciplines (worthy though they are), but one example of a practical discipline that the Lord prescribed was that of “tithing”. Tithing was (and is) the act of giving up to God a tenth of our income. Specifically ordained by God in Leviticus 27:30-32 and Deuteronomy 14:22, as He leads His people out of their Egyptian slavery into the new life that awaits them, it is also referred to in Genesis 14:18-20 long before their bondage, and then much later in Malachi 3, long after they had been established as a kingdom. Tithing, particularly when it involves our “first fruits” (and not merely our “leftovers”), reflects the Lord’s posi- tion of “first love” in our lives. It is a discipline that helps to cultivate Christ-like character within us. This kingdom principle naturally doesn’t end with money or physical resources (lest we think that this is really about money). We do what is right when we give God the first tenth of our paychecks but we do even better when we broaden that idea and give Him the first fruits of our time and energy as well. Just as it is pleasing to God for you to not just reserve some money for Him after you’ve used up your monthly income but to start with what is due Him before attending to anything else, take care that you don’t give Him the leftovers of your energy and attention at the end of the day. Although it is likely that with the majority of other Americans you face a very hectic and busy schedule and have very little left to give as you crash into your bed at night, give Him instead the “first fruits” of your time, even if it means getting up a little bit earlier in the day to pray and read His Word. Keep in mind that tithing is not intended to be slavery (although we usually treat it as such) nor is it a theological legality meant to diminish our joy in life. It is a tool given to us by a kind and loving Father Who understands that we are easy prey to obsessing over money, possessions, fame, and power. God’s call for us to tithe is a gift that aids us in prying from our hearts potential idols and encourages us to trust God. And in addition to the power it puts in our hands to break the spell of materialism, it is also an invitation to please God as a vehicle of expressing our thanksgiving… at least if we give to Him with an open and cheerful attitude. But tithing, of course, is only just the beginning. One of the hardest things we face today is the idea that everything we have and everything we are belongs to Him. Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Consequently, the Christian discipline of stewardship goes beyond the first step of tithing by being the means for our managing what in truth belongs to God. As such, we are compelled to use our resources as we believe that He Himself would use them. Even once we’ve given God our tithe, it should be unthinkable for us to deliberately use what is left of our money, possessions, time, relationships, and our physical bodies in ways that would bring reproach to His name or might harm others. Selfishly using our resources or our using them destructively is not a matter of freedom but is a declaration that we prefer “a bondage to things” than relationship to God. Instead, let our use of what we have and what we are be devoted to bring praise to Him and to the helping of others. The Lord intends for you, of course, to use what He has given you to provide for your needs, but please allow Him to bless you and set you free from the power of “things” by choosing to direct what is at your command towards what would please Him the most. Watch out for the crafty snare of entitlement, too. As long as you feel that you are entitled to all sorts of comforts, perks, and privileges, you dance dangerously close to the brink of falling in love with “things” and setting up as your lord and master something other than the One Who died for you.

BY PASTOR RON BRANCH “I read your recent article about that crazy cardinal that attacks the sideview mirrors on you trucks. I think I know what its problem is.” Turning, I saw a new acquaintance, which had a month previous along with a friend of his been kind enough to strike up conversation with me. On that particular day, the three of us had been doing our things of “exercising feverishly” at the Pleasant Valley Hospital fitness center. It does not take much exercise to make it feverish for most of us, right? But, during this second friendly encounter, and before proposing his diagnosis about the crazy cardinal, he told me about an unexpected incident at his house involving the workings of nature at large. His wife and he like to prepare feeding provisions for hummingbirds. The couple’s feeder sits just off of their porch. Apparently part of the routine for their hummingbirds involves stops at the feeder, and then a quick flit-flight to sit briefly on a nearby dogwood tree. One day their attention was drawn by aracket-and-a-ruckus in the dogwood. Walking over to the tree, the wife unexpectedly saw one of the little hummers caught in the clutches of a praying mantis, which had been waiting to ambush and consume some prey. It has been my longtime understanding that praying mantises only eat insects. But, it is now clear that a mantis is open to feeding on larger varieties of prey as well. Ron Branch In short, the missus deftly rescued the bird from the mantis, but the whole of the incident places a critical spiritual truth in stark contrast. It is a compelling note that the term “mantis” comes from a Greek word meaning “prophet.” The prayer-like configuration of this insect’s body lends the appearance of a “praying prophet.” The mantisprophet in the dogwood may have appeared to be praying, but in actuality it was preying, and almost caught for the purpose of devouring a hummingbird for food. The contemporary contrast for us is startling, particularly as it relates to a certain individual in the recent headlines who has attempted to prophetically predict the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The question at hand is whether this prophet has been praying or is preying concerning the proposed date. One TV news source said that one adherent embracing the most recent proposed date withdrew his entire life-savings to spend it in support thereof. I absolutely believe that Jesus Christ is coming again. I pray for it, as Apostle John did, “Even so, come, Lord, Jesus.” I pray for it as Christ instructed us to pray to God the Father “Thy Kingdom come…” Yet, though filled with Christian and Biblebased anticipation about the Second Coming of Christ, I reverently and submissively yield to the point-specific information given by Christ that “God has put in His own power” the foreknowledge of that specific moment. The only thing required of you and me concerning the Second Coming of Christ is to JUST BE READY! Readiness involves two critical spiritual points. A point in your life when you received Christ by faith as both Savior and Lord is requisite. Furthermore, readiness expects that we faithfully “abide in Him, that when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed at His coming.” One more point about the issue. The Scripture points out that preying prophets are proven false when what they predict does not come true. If one proclaims that Jesus Christ is coming again and it is soon, I will say the Amen. But, when one predicts a specific date, I know that regardless of appearance they are preying and not praying. If people learned the Bible better, there would not be such confusion, doubt, or lack of faith. In the mean time, my newly acquainted fitness center cohort intoned, “That crazy cardinal must be on crack!” I have chuckled about that comment for a couple of weeks now — particularly when I see the frazzled-looking redbird doing what it does for whatever reason it does it. Page A5 Friday, June 10, 2011 A note on entitlements As you may recall — or regret, as the case may be — my last week’s article centered on the rather obvious and overt sense some people have these days of being “entitled” to this, that, or whathave-you. Call it irony, but indeed there are people in our midst who believe they are entitled to have what you do — and will do whatever is necessary to get it. Think in terms of “beg, borrow, or steal,” and therein lies the modus operandi by which one individual gets what someone else has. For those familiar with the cartoon strip, “Dagwood,” you know he and his neighbor, Herb, are forever borrowing each other’s tools — and generally seem at a loss to know who has what! Personally, I enjoy reading this particular strip; all-in-all, it’s quite humorous. I sympathize, however, with those who loan out their tools but then don’t get them back. Evidently Ben Franklin experienced, first-hand, something similar, or else perceived the potential problems likely to ensue from one’s trying to be a “good neighbor.” How else are we to explain his advice to “neither a borrower nor a lender be”?!? Let’s concede the fact that whereas some are lenders and others borrowers, still others are takers. In this latter group are those inclined to take advantage of others; then, too, there are those who literally will take what they want. Mixed in among all the takers — i.e., the deceivers and thieves — is a sub-group comprised of those who consider themselves “entitled.” These people make no bones about their deserv- Thomas Johnson ing more of what they already have, or getting what they don’t. As I said last week, too — this obsession with having more is summed up in the word “greed.” Since the Garden of Eden, greed has been an integral part of humankind’s existence. Then, it was the forbidden fruit. Once Eve determined the fruit was edible, and having already been taken in by its “eye-candy” appeal, the clincher was the wisdom one immediately would gain from eating it. There you have it: enough wasn’t enough; Eve just had to have more — and the “more” she desired was above and beyond what God ever intended, or would allow. As I write this, no less than four (4) politicians recently have incurred the wrath of their families, supporters, party, and others — on account of this same “more.” Two have had extra-marital affairs: one has had two marriages too many; and the fourth has admitted to being the real reason some women received unwanted, risqué pictures of him. Now is a good time to remember what Lord Acton observed, that “power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Couple this with yet another pithy observation — this one by Frank Herbert: “power attracts the corruptible. Absolute power attracts the absolutely corruptible.” More. Power. More power. More corruption? It almost seems as if they go hand-in-hand, doesn’t it?!? And yet, the power and presence of the forces of MORE are so very prevalent in our society. And, I hasten to add, also in the Church. More than one person in the pews in each church I have pastored, in various and sundry ways, has expressed the conviction he or she is entitled to more obeisance, preferential treatment, prominence, or respect than they currently get. Regrettably, I’ve also encountered ministers who treat the church they are the pastor of as no more than a means to a bigger and better end — i.e., as a “stepping stone” on their own selfish paths to a bigger and betterpaying church and, beyond that, to some position of prominence within the church hierarchy. I feel for them, but I can’t quite reach! I’m reminded of the words of Paul to Timothy, that “godliness with contentment is great gain,” and that promoting or seeking gain for ourselves is a sure and certain way to bring about our own destruction and doom (1 Tim. 6:6, 9). IF we are to desire more of anything, let it be to know more about Jesus — and “more of his grace to others show” ... to commune more with the Lord, and spend more time in his Word. Let us be faithful to return MORE love to Him who loves us most. God IS entitled!!! Transforming Your Mind – Part 2 In Part 1 of Transforming Your Mind, we talked about the fact that the greatest battlefield in the history of mankind did not take place in any geographical area, but rather, it has always been in the mind. As a matter of fact, the reason for geographical battlefields and the historical wars we know are a direct result of mindsets and fearful thoughts resulting in fearful actions. Since the fall mankind has dealt with a serious monster – fearful thinking. Though I do not wish to get more technical than I have to, and surely not psychological, yet the truth is that every angered thought, or defeated thought, or negative thinking is always developed by fear – which leads to fearful thinking. Therefore, fear is a major factor in the life of the Believer. It affects every area of your life. Therefore, it is vitally important that we learn how to deal with these Alex Colon fearful thoughts that constantly bombard our minds causing us to make wrong decisions or in some occasions “safe” decisions leading to defeat or inactivity, accomplishing nothing to advance the Kingdom of God in our lives and/or through our lives. Last week I mentioned that I wanted to give you some steps that I find rather helpful in defeating negative fearful thinking and establishing a biblical mindset in every area of life. First of all, identify your thoughts. Think Don't just trust God for things; trust Him in things. Too often, we fall into the trap of trusting God to give us more things—a new car, a bigger house, a better computer. We turn God into little more than a supernatural Santa Claus, who gives us what we want. Although God does want his people to prosper and about what you think about. Consider the types of thoughts you have. Do not let one thought go un-considered. Weather a simple thought, a deep thought or a serious thought. Become aware of your thoughts. Understand and Know if the thoughts you are thinking are godly, biblically and God honoring filled with faith, or if they are filled with fear, doubt and unbelief. This is a skill that may take you some time to develop on a moment to moment basis. Often times our most dangerous thoughts are those we think when we are “not thinking.” In other words, so many times during the day we go on ‘auto-pilot’ in our minds that we are not aware of what is going on in the recesses of our minds. Yet those are the very thoughts that will eventually wreak havoc and cause us to enhance our thinking and lead us to decision making. So it is important to become aware and identify every thought we think. If the thoughts you have identify are good, positive, faith filled, and “Word based” thoughts, then thank God for it and continue to think that way. After all, the Bible encourages us to think on matters that bring joy to both God’s heart as well as ours. Secondly, as often as you can, write down your thoughts. That’s right, write down the negative thoughts you are thinking. You would be surprise at the constant activity in your mind. You might think that this is silly, or that you would be writing every moment of the day. But start with writing the little and important thoughts; those thoughts that affect your emotions. After a while, you become very much aware of the thoughts that affect your emotions negatively. As you consider your thoughts and identify them, write them be blessed, it is much more important to him that you entrust him with your life. Proverbs 3:5-6 says, Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Trusting God is simply having faith in him—that he is who he says he is. In tough circumstances, trusting God means believing his promises, that he will work down and think about them. Then filter each thought through the Word of God and see how they comply or stand along side God’s Word for success in your life. This now leads me to the next step. Thirdly, bind those thoughts with the power of the Word. Once you have determined the nature of your thoughts then its time for action. If those thoughts are negative, then bind them in the name of Jesus and with the power of the Word of God. In other words, bring each thought to the obedience of Christ and change them with a Bible scripture that opposes the negative thought. You will be amazed as to how this will transform your thinking and thus transforming your life. The Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Cor 10:4-5 (KJV) “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” In other words, it is vitally important to bind or “cast down” or bring into obedience every thought or imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge, awareness or Lordship of Christ. Make every thought count. Make your mind think biblically and not fearfully or negatively. Make your mind, the rudder of your life; think the way Jesus thinks – biblically. This type of thinking lifestyle will rock your world and will take you to higher heights in God, experiencing God’s abundance and God’s blessings in every area of your life. Make it a Great Day! (Rev. Alex Colón is pastor of Lighthouse Assembly of God in Gallipolis, Ohio.) all things out for good. Trusting God does not mean trusting that he'll send Santa to give you what you want. Especially during difficult times, putting your faith and trust in God brings rewards. Isaiah 26:3 says, You [God] will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Perfect peace is available if you're willing to trust God in the midst of challenging times. �Friday, June 10, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 Ohio Valley Christian Assembly’s camp kicks off US judges raise pointed questions about health law ATLANTA, Ga. (AP) — Three federal appeals judges expressed unease with a requirement that virtually all Americans carry health insurance or face penalties, as they repeatedly raised questions about President Barack Obama's health care overhaul. At a Wednesday hearing, the three judges on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals panel in Atlanta questioned whether upholding the landmark law could open the door to Congress adopting other sweeping economic mandates. The judges did not immediately rule on the lawsuit brought by 26 states, a coalition of small businesses and private individuals who urged the three to side with a federal judge in Florida who struck down the law. But the pointed questions about the so-called individual mandate during almost three hours of oral arguments suggest the panel is considering whether to rule against at least part of the federal law to expand health coverage to tens of millions of Americans. Federal appeals courts in Cincinnati and Richmond have heard similar legal constitutional challenges to the law within the last month, and lawyers on both sides agree the case is headed for the U.S. Supreme Court. At issue Wednesday was a ruling by U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of Florida to invalidate the entire law, from the Medicare expansion to a change that allows adult children up to age 26 to remain on their parents' insurance. The government contends that the law falls within its powers to regulate interstate commerce. Chief Judge Joel Dubina, who was tapped by Republican President George H.W. Bush, struck early by asking the government's attorney "if we uphold the individual mandate in this case, are there any limits on Congressional power?" Circuit Judges Frank Hull and Stanley Marcus, who were tapped by Democratic President Bill Clinton, echoed his concerns later in the hearing. Acting U.S. Solicitor Neal Katyal sought to ease their concerns by saying the legislative branch can only exercise its powers to regulate commerce if it will have a substantial effect on the economy and solve a national, not local, problem. Health care coverage, he said, is unique because of the billions of dollars shifted in the economy when Americans without coverage seek medical care. "That's what stops the slippery slope," he said. Paul Clement, a former U.S. solicitor representing the states, countered that the federal government should not have the power to compel residents to engage in commercial transactions. "This is the case that crosses the line," he said. Hull also seemed skeptical about the government's claim that the mandate was crucial to covering most of the 50 million or so uninsured Americans. She said the rolls of the uninsured could be pared significantly through other parts of the package, including expanded Medicare discounts for some seniors and a change that makes it easier for those with preexisting medical conditions to get coverage. Dubina nodded as she spoke. The appeals court panel, which did not indicate when it would rule, has several options. But Hull and Dubina asked the lawyers on both sides to focus on a particular outcome: What could happen to the overhaul, they asked separately, if the individual mandate were invalidated but the rest of the package were upheld? Parts of the overall law should still survive, said government lawyer Katyal, but he warned the judges they'd make a "deep, deep mistake" if the insurance requirement were found to be unconstitutional. He said Congress had the right to regulate what uninsured Americans must buy because they shift $43 billion each year in medical costs to other taxpayers. Clement, however, argued that the insurance requirement is the "driving force" of the broader package, which he said violates the Constitution's legitimate authority. Without it, he said, the rest of the package should collapse. "If you take out the hub, the spokes will fall," Clement said. Marcus, meanwhile, said the case struck him as an argument over individual liberties, but questioned whether the judicial branch should "stop at the water's edge" or intervene. So far, three Democratic-appointed federal judges have upheld the health care law and two Republicanappointed judges, including Vinson, have ruled against it. Wednesday's arguments unfolded in what's considered one of the nation's most conservative appeals courts. But the randomly selected panel represents different judicial perspectives. None of the three are considered either stalwart conservatives or unfailing liberals. Ohio governor calls Taylor Swift role model COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Gov. John Kasich is touting country singer Taylor Swift as a great role model for young women. He said Wednesday that his wife and 11-year-old twin daughters had a chance to meet the Grammy winner Tuesday night at her sold-out show at Nationwide Arena in Columbus. Kasich says the 21-year-old singer was "gracious" and "polite." He says his family was at the concert while he celebrated the Miami Heats' loss to Dallas in Game 4 of the NBA finals. Swift's "Speak Now" world tour was next headed to Milwaukee for a Wednesday show. Stocks head for first up day in over a week NEW YORK (AP) — A jump in U.S. exports is sending stocks up sharply after a weeklong losing streak. The Dow Jones industrial average was up 93 points, or 0.8 percent, at 12,141 in midday trading Thursday. The S&P 500 index is up 10, or 0.8 percent, at 1,289. The Nasdaq composite was up 10, or 0.4 percent, at 2,684. U.S. exports hit a record high in April, narrowing the trade deficit. Companies sold more computers, heavy machinery and telecommunications equipment overseas. Imports declined because fewer cars were bought from Japan after factories there were damaged by the earthquake and tsunami disaster.

Preschool benefits last into adulthood, study CHICAGO (AP) — Preschool has surprisingly enduring benefits lasting well into adulthood, according to one of the biggest, longest follow-up studies of its kind. Better jobs, less drug abuse and fewer arrests are among advantages found in the study that tracked more than 1,000 lowincome, mostly black Chicago kids for up to 25 years. Michael Washington was one of them. Now a 31-year-old heating and air conditioning contractor, Washington attended a year of preschool at Chicago’s intensive ChildParent Center Education Program when he was 4. The ongoing publicly funded program focuses on language development, scholastic skills and building self-confidence. It involves one or two years of half-day preschool, and up to four additional years of educational and family services in grade school. Preschool teachers have college degrees and are certified in early childhood education, and parents are encouraged to be involved in the classes. Washington lived in an impoverished West Side community and has strong memories of preschool field trips to the library, zoo and planetarium where he learned to love science. He says he’ll never forget the strong influence of his preschool teachers. Meigs Wellness Center Treadmills, Recumbent Bikes, Rowing Machines, Elliptical Trainers, Free Weights & Weight Machines.

All eyes on Pryor as he tries for the NFL COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The next step may be the most important one for former Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Done with college football and through with talking to the NCAA, now he’ll have to convince NFL teams he can fully realize the potential that he has shown since he was a high school quarterback in Pennsylvania. Pryor attorney Larry James said Thursday that the QB turned down a chance to play in the Canadian Football League and is now focusing his energies on being selected by an NFL team later this summer. “He’s definitely looking at the supplemental draft,” James said. There are risks and rewards aplenty, both for Pryor and any team considering taking him. “Some time ago I put up a top-100 list (for the 2012 draft) and I had Pryor right around 100 on that list,” said Gil Brandt, an NFL draft analyst and former general manager of the Dallas Cowboys. “And that was before all of this came to fruition.” The “all of this” Brandt was referring to is the smoking rubble at Ohio State: coach Jim Tressel’s forced resignation, an ongoing and allencompassing NCAA probe and, on Tuesday night, Pryor’s announcement that he wouldn’t return to school and play his senior season. Pryor, considered the nation’s No. 1 quarterback recruit when he signed with Ohio State in 2008, had already been suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for trading autographs and memorabilia for cash and discounted tattoos. The NCAA also is looking into the cars Pryor has owned or was loaned while at Ohio State. But the NCAA will get no more answers from Pryor. James said Thursday that, since Pryor is no longer a student, he felt no compunction to speak with NCAA investigators anymore. “They’re not going to give him or any other student-athlete any due process rights to speak of, so he’s moved on,” James said. The Saskatchewan Roughriders, who held Pryor’s Canadian Football League negotiating rights, made a play for him Wednesday night. The CFL game is played on a field both longer and wider than the NFL’s, meaning a mobile quarterback is a precious commodity. “There’s not a lot of 6foot-6, 230-pound quarterbacks that run like him up here,” Roughriders GM Brendan Taman said. “He’s sort of an enigma for our league. There’s nobody really up here right now who would compare with him.” But Pryor turned down the Roughriders and the CFL on Thursday morning. “He just said he’s not interested in the Canadian Football League,” James said. “Obviously the offer was not sufficient to whet his Please see Pryor, B2 Neal C. Lauron/Columbus Dispatch/MCT Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor (2) leaves the game in the third quarter after an injury in an NCAA football game against Illinois at Memorial Stadium on Saturday, October 2, 2010, in Champaign, Illinois. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, June 10, 2011 Clint Bowyer wins charity dirt track race ROSSBURG, Ohio (AP) — Clint Bowyer started on the pole and led wire-to-wire for his first victory in Tony Stewart’s dirt-track charity race Wednesday night at Eldora Speedway. Twenty-eight drivers, including 17 from the NASCAR Sprint Cup series, competed in latemodel stock cars in the 30-lap event that benefited children’s hospitals in Atlanta, Dallas, St. Louis and Charlotte, N.C. “It means a lot to me,” said Bowyer, who owns a dirt-track team and the car he drove. “It’s just so much fun. There’s not one person here in this whole infield that just doesn’t have a huge smile on their face. It all goes toward such a great cause.” Bowyer, who is ninth in the Sprint Cup standings, was pursued around the half-mile oval by second-place finisher J.J. Yeley for the entire race. Aric Almirola finished third and was followed by Kyle Busch and Justin Allgaier. The event has raised more than $3 million for various charities since its inception in 2005. “It’s guys like Clint that make this work,” said Stewart, who has owned Eldora since 2004. Following Jimmie Johnson’s wire-to-wire victory last year, this makes two straight wins for Bowyer-owned cars. Johnson finished 18th. “I qualified so poorly that I really didn’t have a chance,” Johnson said. “You have to start up there in the first couple rows to have a shot in a short race like this.” Johnson, the five-time Sprint Cup champion, still has fond memories of last year’s victory. “It was really high on my list of accomplishments,” Johnson said before the race. “We’re all fans of Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt and Parnelli Jones because they could drive anything. And Tony Stewart for that matter. To be able to come into a different vehicle, different track, different discipline and win means a lot to a driver.” Aric Almirola finished third and was followed by Kyle Busch and Justin Allgaier. Sprint Cup regular Ryan Newman was the fastest qualifier in 16.364 seconds. After heat races, Bowyer was elevated to the pole position and Newman started 12th. “A lot of them have built cars for this,” Stewart said. “They really have just embraced the idea of coming here and having fun and being able to raise money for charity. It’s definitely taken on its own life now.” Carl Edwards, the Sprint Cup points leader, said his favorite thing about racing at Eldora in front of 20,000 fans is the atmosphere that comes with dirttrack racing at night in a race that doesn’t count. “There’s no tension,” Edwards said. “Everything’s relaxed, and the underlying good thing about it is it’s all for a great cause.” QB Dalton throws during Bengals workout CINCINNATI (AP) — Andy Dalton’s first practice with the Cincinnati Bengals came on a college field on a hot morning with no helmets, uniforms, pads or complete playbooks. Not the best way for a rookie quarterback to break into the NFL. More than 40 Bengals players participated in their first voluntary, full-squad workout Wednesday at the University of Cincinnati, where a handful of students took a few minutes to stop and watch the franchise’s next quarterback start to blend in. With his red hair, he was easy to spot. His arm got some looks, too. “He’s got a good arm,” receiver Jerome Simpson said. “He’s very smart. I like him.” The second-round pick from TCU has some daunting days ahead. The Bengals are switching to coordinator Jay Gruden’s new offense, one that has totally different terminology from the old one. Dalton can’t get tutoring from the coaches because of the NFL’s lockout. Practice is lim- Pryor from Page B1 taste buds.” To get into a supplemental draft, Pryor would have to petition the NFL for entry. Then he would have to pique the interest of at least one team willing to take a chance on a guy who won a lot at Ohio State (31 of 35 starts at quarterback) but was never selected first-team AllBig Ten and has numerous questions about his passing ability, leadership qualities and dedication. If a team were to pick Pryor later this summer, it would surrender the corresponding round’s pick in the regular draft next spring. “I would be surprised if somebody took him before the fifth round in a supplemental draft,” said ESPN college-football analyst Chris Spielman, a former All-American linebacker at Ohio State who played 11 years in ited to a few voluntary sessions in shorts and Tshirts. “I don’t know,” offensive guard Bobbie Williams said, thinking about the obstacles in the rookie’s way. “I’ll just say: God help the young man. I mean, he’s placed in a challenging position, but you know what? In this profession, you’re always placed in a challenging position. It’s up to you how you (react) to it.” So far, he seems to be doing fine. Dalton got to Cincinnati a few days early to start looking for a house. He practiced Monday with the offense at the university while the defense worked out at a suburban soccer facility. They got together on Wednesday, giving Dalton a chance to meet most of the defensive players for the first time. Also, it was the first time that they worked the NFL. “That’s the obvious statement that you’re not ready to play (but) you’ll maybe have an opportunity to grow into the job. Right now, he’s not close. That’s not to say he can’t get there, but right now he’s not ready to play at all in the NFL.” Greg Frey, a standout Ohio State QB from 1987-90, also has some doubts about Pryor. “The big question I think everybody wants to know is, can he play in the NFL? Yes. But there’s got to be some growth, certainly, from a fundamental standpoint and a maturity standpoint,” he said. Almost everyone agrees Pryor needs to improve his passing motion and arm strength and make dramatic improvement in reading defenses. “From what I can see of the NFL game there are a lot of progressiontype reads where you have to see the whole field. And that takes a special quarterback,” Frey said. Why Not MOW with the BEST MADE IN THE USA?

Palmer was the team’s leader during his seven years as the starter. Feel strange not having him there? “Of course, man,” Williams said. “That’s the voice and the face you miss in the crowd. You miss hearing him, you miss his presence. But this game is an ever-changing game. One day we’ll all be retired and there will be a new group of guys in here at some point.” Palmer’s voice is deeper than Dalton’s, leading to some teasing by his new teammates. “Andy’s picking up the tempo,” Williams said. “Yesterday we kidded around with him, told him he needs to deepen his voice, get some bass in it. But he seemed to have adjusted pretty good to it.” Dalton made tight, ontarget throws during a relaxed 7-on-7 session, with players being careful not to get hurt. He barely overthrew a long pass to Simpson, who stretched all-out and dived in the end zone but couldn’t quite reach the ball. That moment was the closest thing to real football. “Just instinct because I want to catch every ball, show that quarterback that I want to work for him,” Simpson said. “It’s kind of a risk coming out here and diving for a ball, but I just couldn’t help it.” Dalton is competing with Jordan Palmer, Carson’s younger brother, for the starting job. Both of them are learning a new system. Players got some of the new playbook during the one day that the lockout was lifted in April, and they’re trying to learn it on their own. “It’s definitely different in terminology,” Palmer said. “I’ve been very impressed with how fast we’re all getting it as a group. We’ve got 30 to 40 plays in. What percentage of the offense that is, I don’t know.” Dalton spent part of the day getting to know his new defensive teammates. “I didn’t know very many of them,” Dalton said. “It’s been great just to be around everybody and to see everybody working together.” Many Buckeyes fans are happy Pryor is gone after three years of victories but accompanying controversies. He put down opponents, berated teammates and sometimes acted with an air of entitlement. Ultimately, his departure makes it easier to start over after the NCAA finishes its business. Brandt wonders if Pryor might have just looked so superior back in high school in Jeannette, Pa., because he was bigger, stronger and faster than everyone else. “What happens with guys like him, we get players who are 17 going on 22,” Brandt said. But that doesn’t explain his Ohio State numbers: 2,164 rushing yards, 6,177 passing yards, 57 touchdown passes and two BCS bowl game MVP awards. Now Pryor is in the process of hiring a trainer and an agent to prepare for his run at the NFL. Pryor’s high school coach, Ray Reitz, has no question that he will make it. “I hear all these analysts say he’s a project. He’s this. He’s that,” he said. “That’s all paper talk. Put him out there and see if 31 teams don’t want him. “All it takes is one.” OVP Sports Briefs Jim Derrow Memorial golf scramble set WELLSTON — The first annual Coach Jim Derrow Memorial golf scramble will be held on Saturday, July 2 at Fairgreens Golf Course.
