FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com New public defender contract excludes felony cases BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Meigs County Commissioners approved a contract with the Ohio Public Defender Thursday that will cost just a quarter of last year’s, but they must now find a way to provide legal counsel for indigent defendants charged with felonies. Commissioners met this spring with represen- tatives of the OPD’s Athens office, who discussed their difficulties in finding an attorney willing to handle the felony cases through the contract. The current contract between the state public defender and county commissioners, which includes representation of indigents in juvenile, Common Pleas and County Courts, will expire at the end of June. This year’s contract, approved yesterday, does not include any public defender representation in Common Pleas Court. Commissioners must now consider how to represent felony defendants in the higher court, and said yesterday they have not determined how that will be done. Under the current contract, David Baer and Richard Hedges handled 130 and 35 felony assign- ments, respectively. Neither is willing to continue their work, and the Athens office has been unsuccessful in finding replacements for them, Carson told commissioners in May. In Gallia County, a non-profit organization contracts with the county to provide those services. Other counties pay attorneys by the case, once a request is approved by the presiding judge.

Camps are held June-July and this week the camp saw a record 73 participants. CAMP C RUSADE Summer camp with a Christian twist BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — A dose of spirituality with a summer camp twist - this is what the Ohio Valley Christian Assembly’s summer camp season is all about. This week, the OVCA’s campground, located just off US 33 on Rocksprings Road, was full of deep discussions, teenagers and campfires. In fact, the camp had a record number of participants this week with 73 campers showing up. Bruce Gooseman of West Unity and a camp counselor, said having the kids in a concentrated environment with no WEATHER distractions allows them to absorb more information in one week of summer camp than in a whole year of Sunday school classes. Dodger Vaughan of Pomeroy, who is a youth minister at Middleport Church of Christ and camp director, said the camp focuses on traditional and multi-media teachings as well as team-building challenges - with some swimming pool jousting and campfires thrown in for fun. For example, after a morning of traditional worship and watching a non-traditional though spiritually-minded video produced by the See Crusade, A6 (Beth Sergent/photo) Noah Rohrer, 11, Bryan, (left) and Trey Vaughan, 7, Pomeroy, take each other on in a game of swimming pool jousting. In addition to Christian activities, the OVCAʼs summer camp sessions are full of traditional summer camp fun. Local hero included in bill honoring veterans BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM GALLIPOLIS — The Tour of Ohio bike race will be in downtown Gallipolis on Sunday, June 19 from 1-3 p.m. The route will consist of First and Second Ave. from Locust Street to Court Street. The streets will be closed from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. the day of the race. MIDDLEPORT — A bridge on US 33 which connects with Ohio 7 will be named in memory of Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, the late Staff Sgt. Jimmy G. Stewart. The state senator with the same name, Jimmy Stewart (R-Albany), announced on Thursday, the language naming the bridge in honor of Staff Sgt. Stewart was included as part of House Bill 65, which was recently approved by the Ohio Senate. “Staff Sergeant Stewart gave his life protecting his comrades and defending a strategic position after the other members of his squad were wounded in a surprise attack,” Stewart said. “This bill is a great opportunity to honor those who have served their country with honor and distinction.” According to Sen. Stewart’s office, HB 65 creates numerous memorial highways and bridges throughout the state in recognition of the sacri- fices made by Ohioans in law enforcement and the armed forces. The bill also creates the “Honor Our Fallen” license plate. Staff Sgt. Stewart is unique in that he is claimed by both West Virginia and Ohio - he was born in West Columbia, W.Va. in 1942 but lived in Middleport. His May 26, 1966 obituary in the Point Pleasant Register said the 23-year old solider was killed during hostile action on May 18, 1966 in Vietnam. At the time of his death he’d been in the military for six years. The obituary says he was buried in Riverview Cemetery in Middleport. Staff Sgt. Stewart served in Company B, 2d Battalion, 12th Cavalry, 1st Cavalry Division. He was posthumously awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions in the Vietnam War. According to his Medal of Honor citation, “Early in the morning (May 18, 1966) a reinforced North Vietnamese company attacked Company B, which was See Bill, A6 Ohio River Sweep set for Saturday STAFF High: 88 Low: 64 INDEX 2 SECTIONS — 12 PAGES Classifieds Bx Comics Bx Editorials A4 Sports B Section © 2011 Ohio Valley Publishing Co.

According to Raina Fulks, Leading Creek Watershed Coordinator at the Meigs Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD), tons of trash are expected to be collected and properly disposed of in the Sweep. This year the Meigs SWCD, OSU Extension Office, and the Leading Creek Watershed Group are sponsoring three locations for the Ohio River Sweep. Fulks said that many local businesses have contributed by providing supplies for the event. In Pomeroy volunteers are to meet at 9 a.m. at the amphitheater stage on the river parking lot. At Racine volunteers will meet at the Star Mill Park at 9 a.m. and at Syracuse they will meet at the shelter house by the ball fields at 9 a.m. Gloves and trash bags will be provided to all volunteers, who will also get free t-shirts and refreshments after the event ends at noon. “This is a great event for families, scout groups, 4-H clubs, and all concerned citizens,” said Fulks, who suggested pre-registering with the Meigs SWCD at 740992-4282. “This year we are making it easier for trash to be recycled during River Sweep,” Fulks said noting that at each location there will be traditional recycling bins set up and also an electronics waste collection bin. We can accept all electronic items with the exception of televisions. Those items can be brought to the Sweep locations anytime between 9 a.m. and noon, but Fulks ask that residents remember “no television sets will be accepted.” Since 1989, this award-winning cleanup for the Ohio River and its tributaries have brought in thousands of volunteers to the riverbanks to collect tons of trash and debris. River Sweep encompasses the entire length of the river, from its origin in Pittsburgh, Pa. to its end in Cairo, See Sweep, A6 POMEROY – An increase in the price of lunches for the 2011-12 Meigs Local school year was approved, and details of Senate Bill 210 as to nutritional value of those lunches were discussed at this week’s meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education. Lunches next year will be increased by 25 cents which brings the price to $2.50 for elementary students, $2.75 for high school and middle school students, and $3.25 for adult lunches. The increases, according to Donna Corsi, food service supervisor, comes as a mandate from Senate Bill 210 which provides a base formula for the amount paid for school lunches. Board Member Larry Tucker voted against the mandated increase on the basis of the poor economic conditions of some families. Senate Bill 210 requires that there be limited access to unhealthy foods and beverages in schools, that daily physical activity be increased, that standards for physical and health education program be raised, that body mass index screening be implemented, that there be implemented a school health measure for the district, that report cards be issued for each building, that a Healthy ChoicesHealthy Children Council be created and that a best practices registry be developed. During the meeting, Corsi detailed provisions of the Senate Bill 210 which includes information on required nutritional values of free lunches, foods and beverages which can and cannot be served, and restrictions on what can be available in vending machines. “The Alliance for Healthier Generations” guidelines, said Corsi, has a variety of guidelines which apply to ala carte selections. As examples, she said ”chocolate is out, cookies are out, and chips have to meet certain requirements.” She also talked about the “cost implications” to the district in order to stay in compliance with the new regulations. in other business handled by the Board at the meeting, approval was given to a 12-month contract renewal beginning July 1 for one year to See Board, A6 �Friday, June 17, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com “True Witness” coming to Reedsville REEDSVILLE – The Christian band “True Witness” will be in concert for the third year in a row at the Fellowship Church of the Nazarene in Reedsville at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 25.

B RO T H E R S Lack of intimacy is making her bitter Dear Dr. Brothers: I am only 55, but I feel much older. I blame my husband, who has stopped all forms of intimacy with me and treats me like a pal. I love being his best friend, don't get me wrong -- but the lack of a love life is killing me. I feel like I am not even a woman anymore. I find that I am turning into a very bitter old lady -- someone whose life is passing her by. I am not sure why this has happened, but I am depressed. Should I say something to him? -S.N. Dear S.N.: I was with you until your last sentence caught me by surprise. Here is an issue that seems to have become very important to you -- to the point of affecting your selfesteem and your personality, not to mention your marriage. So it's a shocker that you haven't even brought up your concerns to your husband! I think there is a problem with communication in your marriage, and this may have led to your current bitter state of mind. You have legitimate problems to discuss, yet you seem to have let the issues roll around in your brain instead of finding a way Dr. Joyce Brothers to discuss and resolve them as a couple. I don't think you will be able to solve your issues alone, so of course you need to say something to your husband. Ask him to talk, perhaps over lunch or coffee, when you are both rested, in a good mood and not rushed or stressed. You may want to start by just telling him how you are feeling -- without putting him on the defensive. While it may seem to you that he has lost that loving feeling, be ready to take responsibility for what has happened to your relationship. Ask him how he feels about resuming your love life, and what you can do to make it better. If you let him know how much you miss him, he is likely to respond positively.

ATTEND CHURCH �Page A4 FAITH & VALUES Friday, June 17, 2011 Search the Scriptures A Hunger For More “…these were more noble…they searched the scriptures daily…” Jesus taught many challenging principles to the disciples who walked with Him, the multitudes who saw and heard Him, and He continues to teach us who read the words of the inspired writers of the New Testament. A portion of the New Testament, titled by man as “The Sermon on the Mount,” contains the principle upon which we want to focus today. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but he that doeth the will of my Father, which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity” [Matthew 7:21,23]. Have you asked the question, “Why did God give us the Bible?” Over the years, mankind’s answers to this question have changed. From the 19th century until the second half of the 20th century, those who wanted to follow God looked to the Bible for the commands God requires man to obey. Seekers approached the words in the New Testament with respect, with reverence, with a determination to follow His will exactly. The second half of the 20th century has brought about an increasingly casual, careless attitude toward the Word. In the scripture quoted above, Jesus warned that, at the final Judgment, there would be some surprises. Religious persons who had done “many wonderful works” in Jesus’ name expected they would be acceptable to Jesus, and would enjoy the eternal life. Not so, Jesus says. The criteria is: “he that doeth the will of my Father.” Many religious acts are sincerely offered to Jesus, and are taught and done by persons who sincerely believe they love Jesus. But not all religious acts and teachings done in Jesus’ name will be accepted. Look further: Jesus says, “If you love me, keep my commandments” [John 14:15]. He further says, “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me” [John 15:21]. John 15:23 says, “If a man love me, he will keep my words”, and John 15:24 says, “He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings.” John 6:63 tells us, “the words I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” Hear Luke 6:46: “Why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” All human beings who have a mind capable of understanding the simple words of Jesus are responsible for knowing and obeying them. It may be the sinner who has not yet obeyed God’s commands for becoming a Christian; it may be the Christian who has obeyed the commands and been added by the Lord to Christ’s church. All have the duty to know and obey God’s commands. All who choose to ignore the Lord’s commands will be disappointed on the Judgment Day. Further articles will discuss more of the many scriptures God has provided, teaching us the importance of knowing, and doing, His commands. The church of Christ continues to stress Bible study, so honest seekers can gain a thorough knowledge of the Word. If you want to begin your study of the Bible, or to deepen your knowledge of God’s Word, contact the church for the many avenues the church provides for Bible study. Bring your Bible, and visit our assemblies, and study with us. The church meets at 234 Chapel Drive [off Bulaville Road], Gallipolis. Visit our website: www.chapelhillchurchofchrist.org. One of my sons and I were discussing together about what it means to have a relationship with God and the question arose, “How is having a relationship with God like having a relationship with someone else?” So together we began to compile a list of similarities and differences. We didn’t actually get very far for the fact of our careful consideration of each point but I thought I’d share with you what we discovered. First, reminded as we are of how the Lord instructed us to pray in Matthew 6:9-13 (see also Luke 11:24), we see that the relationship that you and I can have with God is a real one with a real Person (“Our Father…”). The God of the Bible, revealed as He is through His Word, is not an imaginary friend, nor is He merely an idea or concept that we use to explain the unexplainable. He is real. He feels. He thinks. He acts. Not only that but He also loves. He grieves. And He even hates. Hates? Yes. He hates. It isn’t people that He hates though (see Zechariah 8:17). It’s what sin has done that He hates. He hates its effect, the devastation of lives and hopes and dreams; and He hates its source which is pride and selfishness. Its marring effect upon the countenance of humanity is a slur on God Himself because we have been created in His image. Furthermore, as we have become estranged from Him because of it, how could He not hate it? He grieves over its presence in His creation and the aching sorrows that it produces in the human sphere. But again, He Thom Mollohan also loves. And unlike us, He loves perfectly, demonstrating once and for all the immensity of that love in spending Himself on the cross on our behalf. Yes, God is real… more real, in fact, than anyone or anything else that we’ll ever meet. Flesh and bone and blood, wind and rock and wave, even sun and moon and star, will all be gone one day, but God Himself always was and always will be (Revelation 1:8). It is also similar to other relationships we have in that it relies upon communication for growth and fulfillment. No relationship can be said to be meaningful if there is no connection consistently and frequently maintained between those in the relationship (parent with child, husband with wife, friend with friend). If there is no “relating” to each other, how can there be a “relationship?” Therefore, our heavenly Father has given us His Word and the venue of prayer to hear from Him and to reach out to Him. In His Word, He speaks to you individually (as well as corporately). Through His Word, He speaks to your life, your needs, your dreams, and your future. In His Word, He reveals Himself to eyes that desire to see Him and hearts that yearn to receive Him. “…Call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you…. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart” (from Jeremiah 29:12, 13). Through prayer, He has enabled the human spirit to fly to the throne of heaven and enter His presence. “Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need” (Hebrews 4:16 NIV). And there is fruit to be had from our relationship with God. In human relationships, we desire many things of course: companionship, some degree of emotional intimacy (or closeness) as we seek to “connect” with others, and perhaps other things like the accomplishments that two or more may achieve when they bring together their talents and resources. In a much larger and more perfect way this is also true of our relationship with God when we approach Him through faith in Jesus Christ: “You yourselves have seen… how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself” (from Exodus 19:4). And one of the amazing things about our relationship with God is that it both achieves the most profound and eternal of intimacies as it brings us near to the heart of the Father, but also accomplishes the work of the Father in His mission to bring His errant creation under His dominion of grace. So when we pray as Jesus taught us, “…Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven…”, we can know that we are simply asking, as God gives “us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11), that the overflow of His activity in our lives will also effect His purposes around us and accomplish for others what it has accomplished for us. As my son and I discovered, our relationship with God is just like that of anyone else… except it is bigger and more beautiful, for the Person with Whom we have this relationship is infinitely beautiful and wise and loving. In our discussing it, we had to admit that it is the one relationship that we wish above all others to nurture and enjoy. And as we do so, we will find that all other relationships will be enriched and blessed because of it. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask Him!” (Matthew 7:7-11 NIV).

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �FAITH & FAMILY Open the door to the presence of God BY PASTOR RON BRANCH Blasted coons! They irritate me. Their presence, definitely manifested though mostly unseen, make me have to wait to take out the trash on our designated pick-up day by 4 a.m. just so these critters do not have unhindered opportunity to ransack through our refuse before the company truck makes its early round. I have to retrieve my bird feeders and suet cages each evening lest the coons during the course of a night eat all the provisions specified for the birds. As a modicum of convenience despite the forced inconvenience, I usually set these feed containers just inside and to the left corner of the kitchen door. Lately, coons have been digging into Terry’s potted flowers and strewing dirt over the patio in the process of their food hunts. That has gotten Terry in a high state of pique, for sure, concerning the coons that roam the hillside behind our house. Many of you know from experience, too, that coons have neither constraint, conscience, or concern if they can garner an ort of any type close to your house — or, even in your house, if given the opportunity. Our kitchen exit onto the back patio is set up with atrium doors. Inside the kitchen at those doors I have a Lazy Boy chair which provides a comfortable view of the birds that come to our feeders and scenery on the hillside. Furthermore, when Ron Branch I cannot sleep at night, which is often anymore, I usually get in sleep mode while reclining in the kitchen Lazy Boy. At midnight Monday, I opened the kitchen door just before reclining in the Lazy Boy for some zees. The cool air felt good as I pulled out the foot rest and trailed off to sleep. It was around 3 a.m., however, that I felt the need to rouse, sensing a certain stirring presence. Opening my eyes, I saw this brazen coon half-way in the door slowly pulling one of the suet cages toward itself. Ever so slowly and silently it worked its banditry. But, right before success was in its paws, I quickly released the footrest and sat up with a purposeful jerk. An uncanny truth concerning God is manifested in this incident by way of the open kitchen door and eventually sensing the presence of the coon. It is found in the incredible mindset of God to reveal Himself to us. He is not detached from our existence. He is knowable. He deliberately and lovingly condescends to us. To verify it He makes us aware of His presence. The Psalmist was deeply and keenly aware of the presence of God. The Psalmist said that God was so personally in touch with “his path, his lying down, and his ways” that there was no escaping the presence of God anywhere at all, which inspired the Psalmist to be utterly convinced that the presence of God was “beset behind and before” him. But, the difference made for the Psalmist was that he had opened the door to his life to sensing the presence of God. He was not only open to the presence of God, he desired it greatly. He opened his life deliberately and consciously to the presence of God because of the advantageous consequences experiencing the presence of God brings. Many church people are so unlike the assured and blessed Psalmist because of keeping themselves closed to sensing the presence of God. Has it occurred to you why you are fearful? Why you struggle with faith? Why your spiritual life seems so weak? God manifests His presence to us in many ways as described in Scripture to meet our many needs and address the many struggles of life. He knows we need to know He is near. Keeping ourselves constantly shut up with spiritual numbness or callousness causes us to lose a valuable spiritual asset with our Creator and Savior. Getting back to the coon, it must have jumped a foot high as I quickly set up. I hope I gave it a good heart failure. But, I doubt it. Blasted coons! Page A5 Friday, June 17, 2011 Recent column refreshes ‘veggie tale’ memories BY THOMAS JOHNSON This past Sunday some of you may have read, or at least noticed, the article in the paper by Charlene Hoeflich, my liaison at The Daily Sentinel. It seems Charlene has had mixed success with tomatoes she planted recently, some growing quite well and others not so much. Charlene stated she had appealed to a resident expert on all things agricultural and horticultural, to learn why this was. As I recall, the verdict had a lot to do with the fact tomatoes are rather fickle plants. It seems you can’t just plant them in dirt, and then expect them to grow; you also have to fertilize them, but neither too early nor excessively. That article got me to thinking of my mother, and the attention she devoted to the things she claimed grew in my ears. Mom spoke of this as “oats, peas, beans, and barley grow”—and was inclined to make this observation immediately prior to giving my ears a good cleaning. I really wasn’t a walking, talking agricultural experiment gone awry. Nevertheless, as incredible as it seemed that there might be veggies growing in my ears, I had sense enough not to argue the point. I can’t say Mom was obsessed with my having clean ears, but neither was she the least bit hesitant to attend to them—never mind my opinion, or my wanting to do something else. And if for some reason I was to take leave of my senses and challenge her authority, Dad was always ready, willing, and able to help me recover them “immediately, if not sooner!” The ordeal itself was supposed to transpire while I stood still; I tend- ed not to cooperate. I was more of a “squirmy worm” type than passivesubmissive, while Mom and her ever-ready “Johnson and Johnson” (no relation) Q-tips harvested the most-recent fruits she found there. Eventually, of course, I acquired the know-how to do this hygiene thing on my own. No longer, then, did I suffer through my mother’s ministrations, and no longer did I hear the litany of incredible things she observed to be growing there—i.e., the “oats, peas, beans, and barley.” Yet, Charlene’s interest in tomatoes brought back this particular and poignant memory. Whatever else you were expecting in this article, surely it had nothing to do with “veggie tales” like what you just read, did it?!? (For those of you familiar with Christianoriented videos for children and youth, the two words in quotations in the last sentence ought to strike a chord.) I’m of the opinion we all enjoy a good story, and as a young boy I listened to many told around campfires. Then, when I joined the Navy, I was privy to many a “sea story” which, for the most part, only required someone to tell it and another to hear it—and the better the story-teller, the more elaborate the story and the more exalted those involved. I’m here to tell you I of spooky or something coming from left field. But hang with me for a little while. There are scriptures that speak very clearly about this same pattern and this same principle. You see, in Bible times as well as in Hebraic cultures they understand this and they believe this God ordained concept. Remember how Bible teaches the importance of a father’s blessing? So important a father’s blessing is that Jacob succeeds in stealing Esau’s rightful blessing right from under him (Gen. 27). Remember in Genesis 48 when Joseph went to his father Jacob to have him bless his two boys? Why was this so important? Simple! These people understood the power of the spoken blessing of a father. These are only two of many examples of the nature of spoken words and verbal blessings. In Luke 6:45 Jesus said: “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.” Being that out of the content found in the heart (your spirit man), your mouth then will speak, it stands to reason that we must be very careful what our hearts are fed and what our mouths speak. Furthermore, it is just as important to be careful what others say to us. But for now, suffice it to say Thomas Johnson heard some real “whoppers” over the course of my enlistment, and for some guys there was no end to the telling of their tale. There was always some interest, if not appeal, to the story being told, especially in the formative part of one’s enlistment. The bubble burst for me, however, when an instructor at Great Lakes came right out and said the majority of all sea stories were nothing but lies. From that time on, whenever an “old salt” let go with some particular narrative, there would come a point at which my mind would shut down, refuse to get sucked in any further, and accept no more of what was being said. It seems Americans are, by heritage if not by nature, a story-telling— and story-loving—people. Christians are, too. In and of itself there’s nothing wrong with this, but stories, while entertaining, can also be seductive and misleading, a phenomenon the Apostle Paul felt obligated to bring to Timothy’s attention (2 Tim. 4:4). As opposed to the fundamental truth of the Word of God, and the absolutely exclusive nature of Jesus Christ as being God’s Son and the only way to access God (Jn. 14:6), Paul knew of those then teaching contrary things—and those who were subscribing to all such “fables.” This same theological nonsense is happening today. Harold Camping and his deplorable, perverse, and presumptuous claim the world will end this coming October 21 is a case in point. Such foolishness! Let not his way be your way, but may the peace of God be yours always. May our ears hear Jesus, our hearts love Him, and our minds and spirits heed only Him. Your Mouth…Your Life In the last article, Transforming Your Mind – Part 2, I had said that it is important to “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.” This statement is very important because according to the Bible, whatever is in your mind is also found in your heart, which in turn will come out of your mouth – it is inevitable! Speaking of the Alex Colon ‘mouth’ it is vitally important to realize that the very words that come out of our mouths actually materialize. I don’t have the space in this article or articles to get into all the scriptures found in the Bible that teaches this very important principle. But I will attempt to make mention of a few with one principle in mind: Your life follows your words. That’s right! Your life is simply a pattern of words that you spoke or of words that others spoke over your life. Think about this; as you look over your family (parents, siblings, children, etc.) have you ever noticed a similar pattern? The pattern I am talking about is the one that describes these relatives’ lifestyle. Have you notice that much of what they have done or are doing is a perfect match to much of what was said to them or said by them? Have you noticed that your life is the materialized image of things you said or things people said to you or about you? I know this sounds kind that with our mouths we either bless or we curse – nothing else. As God told Israel back in Deuteronomy 30:19 “…I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore, choose life, that both you and your seed may life.” What a powerful statement. Remember to choose life with words of life and not words of death that destroy relationships, dreams, mindsets and derails destiny. God has given you a powerful tool called your mouth – I encourage you to use it for His glory and for your benefit as well as the benefit of others. (Rev. Alex Colón is pastor of Lighthouse Assembly of God in Gallipolis, Ohio.) If you're not choosing to spend regular time with God, then you're choosing to die spiritually In many cultures, life is centered around food. Very few people in the western world would go for more than 10 or 12 hours without food or drink. Besides the fact that food is built into culture, doing so would make one very hungry. Many people wouldn't dare going physically hungry; yet they starve themselves spiritually. If you ate food only once a week, you'd certainly die of starvation and malnutrition. Yet countless Christians do exactly that in their spiritual lives. It is no wonder that Jesus called himself the bread of life (John 6:35). In order to grow spiritually, you must feed on spiritual food -God's word. Have the attitude found in Isaiah 26:8: Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. Make it your desire to know God better. When you regularly spend time with God -- praying, seeking him, and studying his word -- you will thrive spiritually. Take some advice from the psalmist: Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always (Psalm 105:4). Make time with God a priority in your live. If you made being well fed spiritually as important as be well fed physically, your relationship with God would thrive. What advertising agencies do for their clients, we're called to do for Christ. You've probably heard these slogans: "Just do it," "Drivers wanted," and "It's everywhere you want to be." And you've almost certainly heard of Nike, Volkswagen, and Visa; however, you probably have never heard of the advertising agencies that coined those slogans: Wieden & Kennedy; Arnold Communications; and Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn. In a lot of ways, we're supposed to be like those advertising agencies. We are called to proclaim the name of Jesus to the entire world; we're not called to proclaim the name of our denomination, our ministry, our church, or our pastor. Compare how often you talk about your church or your pastor versus how often you talk about Jesus. When unbelievers see Christianity, I can't help but wonder how many of them simply see a bunch of denominations fighting about petty issues: Contemporary vs. traditional worship? Drums and guitar vs. organ and hymns? Powerpoint slides vs. hymn book? Jeans and tee-shirt vs. suit and tie? Instead, wouldn't our testimony to the world be so much better if, with one voice, we proclaimed "Jesus!"? In Romans 15:9, Paul writes, Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name. Paul's singular focus was on making the name of Jesus known throughout the world.

Crusade From Page A1 Middleport Church of Christ, campers disperse into groups around the campground for “family time” - a time set aside to discuss topics brought to light during morning activities. Yesterday, campers were discussing questions which have been pondered for thousands of years, like, “Why is the world such an insane place?” and “Why does God let bad things happen?” Questions were followed by discussions attempting answers with campers talking about learning from pain and contrast as well as the gift of freewill. After “family time” campers headed to lunch and the pool for playtime and got in some of that pool jousting. As the afternoon began to settle in, naps were replaced by those team-building challenges Vaughan had talked about. Vaughan explained these challenges were “hands on” to allow the teens to get a better understanding of complicated issues. For example, one afternoon campers walked a plank blindfolded with only their peers to guide them to the edge this was meant to allow teens to engage in having faith in others and in God. For today, Vaughan had a role-playing game set up in which teens played the parts of characters in a murder mystery which was meant to engage campers in lessons on relationships. “It’s about who are you around other people?” Vaughan asked. “Are you different when you’re with yourself when you need to real...authentic.” Though this week was dedicated to teen campers, the OVCA’s summer camp season has designated camps for different age groups to provide an opportunity for local youth to participate in Christian activities with that summer camp twist. Camps are held June-July. The OVCA is a Christian Church Camp supported primarily by the Independent Christian Churches and Churches of Christ.

The surprise onslaught wounded five members of a six-man squad caught in the direct path of the enemy's thrust. S/Sgt. Stewart became a lone defender of vital terrain--virtually one man against a hostile platoon. Refusing to take advantage of a lull in the firing which would have permitted him to withdraw, S/Sgt. Stewart elected to hold his ground to protect his fallen comrades and prevent an enemy penetration of the company perimeter. As the full force of the platoonsized man attack struck his lone position, he fought like a man possessed; emptying magazine after magazine at the determined, on-charging enemy. The enemy drove almost to his position and hurled grenades, but S/Sgt. Stewart decimated them by retrieving and throwing the grenades back. Exhausting his ammunition, he crawled under intense fire to his wounded team members and collected ammunition that they were unable to use. Far past the normal point of exhaustion, he held his position for four harrowing hours and through three assaults, annihilating the enemy as they approached and before they could get a foothold. As a result of his defense, the company position held until the arrival of a reinforcing platoon which counterattacked the enemy, now occupying foxholes to the left of S/Sgt. Stewart's position. After the counterattack, his body was found in a shallow enemy hole where he had advanced in order to add his fire to that of the counterattacking platoon. Eight enemy dead were found around his immediate position, with evidence that 15 others had been dragged away. The wounded whom he gave his life to protect, were recovered and evacuated. S/Sgt. Stewart's indomitable courage, in the face of overwhelming odds, stands as a tribute to himself and an inspiration to all men of his unit. His actions were in the highest traditions of the U.S. Army and the Armed Forces of his country.” The legislation Sen. Stewart supported will designate the bridge as the “Staff Sergeant Jimmy G. Stewart - Veterans Bridge.” Staff Sgt. Stewart was also one of three men the Bridge of Honor was named in memory of, including the late Gen. James V. Hartinger and Cpl. Edward A. Bennett. Brooks presents UMW program on Pentecost ALFRED — Ruth Brooks presented the program on Pentecost at the recent meeting of Alfred United Methodist Women, held at the church. The goal of the program was to have a better understanding of the deeper implications of the gifts of the Spirit, to celebrate the birth of the church, and to renew our vows to continue its mission of proclamation. The group recited a beginning prayer, and the leader read from Acts 2:1-8, 43-37. The leader and group participated in reading the program and ending prayer. President Mary Jo Barringer opened the meeting with the group reciting the UMW Purpose. The secretary’s report was given with 120 friendship calls made. Janice Weber chose Gail Quigg, Pequea, Pa., for the prayer calendar birthday card. She is in missions. Ruth Brooks will have the July card. Barringer reported on the West Ohio Conference, the theme of which was “Unleashing New Life.” The Love First Miracle Offering goal was $250,000, with half the offering going to build a new church for each of the four mission partners: Nyemba UMC in Congo, Syzran UMC in Russia, Queng Rai UMC in Vietnam, and Jehova Rohi “The Lord is My Shepherd” UMC in Mexico. The other half of the offering will create three new places for people in the West Ohio Conference: Church in the Mall UMC, Heath, Liberty UMC, Delaware County, and New Life UMC, Findlay. Janice Weber gave the missions report from Response magazine, “Just for Girls.” Last year’s earthquake in Haiti worsened every day incidents of domestic violence and child abuse, but in Petionville, Haiti, girls have found a haven from abuse and a safe place to laugh, at the YWCA, which is supported by the UMW’s Mission Giving. The program equips girls with skills they can take home. Barringer offered prayer before the refreshments were served by Mary Jo Buckley, Weber and Barringer. The next meeting will be July 12. Mason County armed robbery results in shooting BY HOPE ROUSH HROUSH@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM GALLIPOLIS FERRY, W.Va. — Following an armed robbery Sunday in Henderson, W.Va., a second armed robbery attempt in Gallipolis Ferry, W.Va. ended with one injured suspect and another behind bars. According to the Mason County Post of the West Virginia State Police, William Ryan McClosky went into the Hot Spot gaming parlor at approximately 6 p.m. Tuesday.

Point Pleasant’s Jason Stouffer Jr. Golf Tour opens with successful first week BY FRANK CAPEHART SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The 2011 season of the Tri-County Junior Golf Tour opened the year at Hidden Valley Golf Course in sparkling fashion Monday. Cool, clear weather called for jackets early on, but the warmth of the sun heated up the competition and two playoffs highlighted the session. In the premier 15-17 age group, a playoff for first place this week found David Michael and Gus Slone, both of Crown City, Ohio, deadlocked at 44. Michael won the playoff with a 15-foot putt to take the trophy by one stroke over Slone. Third place finisher Seth Jarrell of Crown City, Ohio, posted a 48, just one stroke ahead of Michael MacKnight of New Haven, W.Va. Right behind them, Nick Taylor of Point Pleasant, W.Va., and Ethan Swain of Crown City, Ohio, tied for fifth place. Close behind were Casin Roush (Crown City, Ohio), Dakota Sisk (New Haven, W.Va.), Jordan Howell (Bidwell, Ohio) and Ethan Spurlock (Gallipolis, Ohio). Dares Hamid of Gallipolis, Ohio, fashioned a 40 for the best score of the first round to capture first place in the 13-14 division. Knotted at 49, Jacob Hoback of Racine, Ohio, and Michael Edelmann of Gallipolis, Ohio, met in a sudden victory playoff which went to Edelmann by a single stroke. Zach Graham of Gallipolis, Ohio, was just one stroke more to earn fourth spot, while Logan Sheets (Bidwell, Ohio) earned fifth at 59. Close behind were Zack Morris (Vinton, Ohio), Christian Varian (New Haven, W.Va.) and Cliff Chapman (Gallipolis, Ohio). For the 11-12 swingers, Bryce Tayengco of Point Pleasant, W.Va., posted a good 44 score to collect the crown, while Jared Parissi of Gallipolis, Ohio, was runner-up at 58. It was a tight competition for the 10-and-under group. Dylan Tayengco of Point Pleasant, W.Va., carved out a solid 42, second best for the day, to top Jasiah Brewer of Pomeroy, Ohio, who also posted a good score of 48. Now, the young linksters reconvene at Riverside Golf Course in Mason, W.Va., on Monday, June 20, for the second round of 2011. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. each week, with tee-offs slated for 9 a.m. All area young golfers are eligible and invited to join the competitions. Goalie Thomas leads Boston Bruins to Stanley Cup VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Zdeno Chara thrust the Stanley Cup high above his 6foot-9 frame, knocking off his own championship hat and nearly falling down. The Boston Bruins’ captain passed it to 43-yearold Mark Recchi, who raised the shiny silver trophy for a third and final time. Patrice Bergeron eventually gave the Cup to Tim Thomas, who had already lifted the Conn Smythe Trophy moments earlier. When their goalie took the Cup on a promenade around the Vancouver ice, the Bruins knew it was in the safest of hands. Thomas hasn’t dropped anything important for two full weeks while guiding Boston past Vancouver in a grueling Stanley Cup finals that ended in the Bruins’ first championship in 39 years. “If they got any chances, Timmy was there,” Recchi said. “It was just scary how good he was.” Thomas made 37 saves in the second shutout of his landmark finals performance, Bergeron and rookie Brad Marchand scored two goals apiece, and the Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 Wednesday night to win the Stanley Cup for the sixth time — the first since 1972. Thomas limited the NHL’s highest-scoring team to eight goals in the seven-game finals, blanking Vancouver in two of the last four — including Game 7, the only win by a road team in the series. He was an incredibly easy choice as the playoffs MVP, becoming the oldest Conn Smythe winner at 37. “If I was going to do it any way, it would have to be the hardest way possible,” said Thomas, who played overseas and in the minors before finally getting his NHL break in 2005. “Three Game 7s in the playoffs, and to have to win it on the road in the final.” Please see Boston, B2 AP Photo/Julie Jacobson Boston Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara hoists the Stanley Cup after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 during Game 7 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Finals, Wednesday, in Vancouver, British Columbia. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com He was in the zone, he was focused, never let anything rattle him. ... What’s happened to him now, so deserving.” Thomas thoroughly outplayed and outclassed his Vancouver counterpart: Star goalie Roberto Luongo gave up 18 goals in the last five games of the finals, capping a brutally inconsistent series for the enigmatic netminder. Luongo led Canada to Olympic gold on this same ice sheet last year, but he was pulled from the Canucks’ last two games in Boston after giving up 15 goals on the road — and he couldn’t match Thomas in the finale. “We’re devastated as a team,” said Luongo, who made 16 saves. “We worked all year to get to this point. To fall short like that is a tough one to take ... but we’re a good team, and we’ll be back.” Game 7 was another heartbreak for the Canucks and their stunned fans, who stayed by the thousands just to get a glimpse of the trophy. A Canadian club still hasn’t won the Stanley Cup since 1993, and the unruly crowds outside overshadowed the anguish of thousands of lifelong faithful who watched their favorite franchise fall one game short of a transformative win. “Anybody in our situation right now would feel real disappointed, whether you’re the favorite or not,” Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault said. “We battled real hard. We gave it our best shot. This one game, they were the better team. It’s that simple.” Luongo wasn’t alone in deserving Vancouver’s blame: The Sedin twins are the NHL’s last two scoring champions, but they capped a disastrous finals by being on the ice for all four of Boston’s goals. Captain Henrik Sedin, last season’s MVP, scored just one goal in the series, and Daniel Sedin had two goals and two assists, scoring in just two of the seven games. “Our line is there to score, and we couldn’t score,” Henrik Sedin said. “We take a lot of the blame for that.” Vancouver center Ryan Kesler, who had just one assist in the finals while struggling with an obvious injury, had already shaved his playoff beard before the Canucks’ locker room opened. “It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, and to lose made it even harder,” said Kesler, a 41goal scorer in the regular season and a playoff standout in the first three rounds. Boston overcame more than the Vancouver crowd and the Presidents’ Trophy-winning team to claim this Cup. The Bruins have shown a resilience and tenacity that hasn’t been much in evidence in the self-professed Hub of Hockey in four decades. Bergeron hadn’t scored a goal in Boston’s last nine playoff games, but he put the Bruins ahead with a one-timer in the slot on a sharp pass from Marchand, the rookie who has emerged remarkably in the finals. Boston from Page B1 But while Thomas and the Bruins celebrated, a riot raged in downtown Vancouver. After the Canucks’ attempt to win their franchise’s first championship in 41 years of existence ended in dismal fashion, frustrated fans set cars on fire, threw bottles, trashed cars and staged bonfires while riot police dispersed them with truncheons and shields. The unrest lingered for hours after the Bruins raised the Cup. The Bruins are the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 three times in the same postseason, and Thomas posted shutouts in the decisive game of the Eastern Conference finals and the Stanley Cup finals. The third-seeded Bruins’ postgame celebration centered on Thomas, who carried them through long stretches of a perilous postseason that began with two home losses to Montreal. Thomas stopped a jawdropping 238 of the Canucks’ 246 shots in the finals for a .967 save percentage. That’s even better than his .940 mark and 1.98 goals-against average for the entire postseason. “I think I went even further than I thought,” Thomas said. “I was scared, I won’t lie. I had nerves yesterday and today, and I faked it as best as I could, and I faked it all the way to the Stanley Cup.” The Stanley Cup eventually got a lift from Nathan Horton, the injured Boston forward whose Game 3 concussion on a late hit irrevocably swung the series’ momentum to Boston after its 0-2 start in Vancouver. The Bruins outscored the Canucks 214 after Vancouver defenseman Aaron Rome’s hit galvanized them, becoming the third team since 1966 to rally from that 0-2 deficit in the finals. Horton traveled to Vancouver for Game 7 and put on his jersey and skates for the postgame celebration. “I don’t think anybody would have passed this up,” Horton said. “Even if I wasn’t cleared to fly, I would have been here. To be here and share this with my teammates and for us to be here together, it’s hard to describe the feeling.” He even worked to give the Bruins a home-ice advantage, pouring a bottle of Boston water onto the ice in front of the Bruins’ bench 90 minutes before warmups. “I was just trying to get some Garden ice here and make it our ice,” Horton said. “I was trying to be sneaky about it.” Luckily for the Bruins, their goalie is cooler than ice. “I’ve had some good ones, Marty Brodeur and others, but Tim Thomas, in these playoffs, just totally dominated,” Boston coach Claude Julien said. “That’s the sign of a great goaltender. Friday, June 17, 2011 Buckeyes interim coach faces tough decisions COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — With the dark clouds of an NCAA investigation and impending player suspensions hovering over the program, Ohio State interim coach Luke Fickell doesn’t know exactly what he’ll have to work with this fall. All he knows is there are difficult times ahead. “It’s a daily grind,” he said earlier this week in his first solo public appearance as the interim. “We’re not going to worry about the hypotheticals. We will attack those situations as they arise.” Jim Tressel’s 10-year reign as coach ended when he was pressured to resign on May 30 due to a drip, drip, drip of alleged NCAA violations. Tressel knew some of his players broke NCAA rules and, contrary to his contract and NCAA bylaws, did not report them to his superiors. Five players were suspended for the first five games of the 2011 season for trading signed memorabilia for cash and discounted tattoos. One of those five, threeyear starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor, gave up his senior season last week while in the vortex of the NCAA probe. He has since hung his hopes on being taken in a possible supplemental NFL draft later this summer. Ohio State has an Aug. 12 date with the NCAA’s committee on infractions. The NCAA could void the 2010 season and accompanying sixth straight Big Ten championship, hand down a postseason ban for one or more years, suspend more players and even restrict recruiting. It could also let the current sanctions stand. While those issues are resolved, Fickell, who holds the Ohio State record with 50 consecutive starts as a nose tackle from 1993-96 under coach John Cooper, will have decisions to make on the field and in the locker room. Others are watching closely. “He’s a great guy,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “We played at the same time in the league. I have the utmost respect for him as a player. He was tough, physical, just a great player, and that’s the way his linebackers and his players have always played for him. He’ll do a great job.” Perhaps the primary personnel matter facing Neal C. Lauron/Columbus Dispatch/MCT Luke Fickell, seen in this file photo from December 31, 2010, is the new head football coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes after the removal of Jim Tressel. Fickell, who is working on a two-year contract but only guaranteed one season as interim, is the situation at quarterback. With Pryor gone, the Buckeyes are left with four candidates for the job. Two have seen scant action, two others have never played in a college game. Fifth-year senior Joe Bauserman, who turns 26 midway through the year, is vying with redshirt sophomore Kenny Guiton, redshirt freshman Taylor Graham and prized recruit Braxton Miller to take Pryor’s place. Each threw a touchdown pass in the spring game. Tressel seemed to be leaning toward the youngest, Miller. But now, the race is wide open. “We’ve got four great guys. They’re going to be competitive,” Fickell said. “(We’ll) put them out there to give them their opportunities and see who can raise their level of competition and compete and who we can count on.” The elevation of Fickell (and Tressel’s departure) means there’s a hole on the coaching staff. Fickell spent the past six years in charge of linebackers and as codefensive coordinator. It appears that a defensive assistant will be hired, but roles and responsibilities may be shifted. Fickell said he will work with both sides of the ball. But he’ll still let the offensive coaches call plays.

We’ll find out what those strengths are come fall camp.” One of the biggest tasks facing the revised staff will be handling the roller-coaster emotions of the 100 or so on the team. All will be trying to make an impression and climb the depth chart. Some may start for the first five games and then find themselves standing on the sidelines while a suspended player gobbles up all their playing time. It’s not an easy juggling act, keeping everyone motivated and happy while remembering that some of the most decorated players had a hand in bringing shame to the program. There will undoubtedly be some ill will in the locker room. Fickell elected not to discuss that touchy situation. “There are some things that we probably would keep internally,” he said. “That’s one of those things that inside a family we ask guys to have respect for one another and help each other out. That’s something within our family we’ll handle.” 148th Meigs County Fair Middleport Community Association HUMP DAY hear. They have long been critical of what they deem an overly conservative attack under the direction of Tressel and nominal offensive coordinator Jim Bollman. “Tresselball” meant kicking field goals, playing field position and hoping the defense made stops to win. “Coach Bollman has been our offensive coordinator here for 10 years now,” Fickell said. “I don’t see anything changing.” Over the Tressel era, the Buckeyes followed their three-yards-and-acloud-of-dust roots and were mostly a rushing team. That’s another thing that won’t change, even though leading ground-gainer, Daniel “Boom” Herron, is one of the players suspended through the Oct. 1 Big Ten opener at home against Michigan State. In his stead, Jordan Hall, Jaamal Berry, Rod Smith and Carlos Hyde will divide up the carries. Since the quarterbacks are largely unproven as passers, look for the Buckeyes to run and then run some more. “If we have three tailbacks, maybe three tailbacks will be out there,” 113 West 2nd.
