Childhood immunization clinic FRIDAY, JULY 1, 2011 The road to repeal SB 5 Meigs, Gallia signatures being counted BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM GALLIPOLIS — The road to repeal Senate Bill 5 took a huge step Wednesday when 1.2 million signatures of those who oppose the legislation were turned into the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office in the hopes of forcing a citizen’s vote on SB 5 — signatures from Meigs and Gallia Counties were included. In Meigs County, 3,113 signatures were collected to put the issue on the November ballot which is 29.04 percent of those who voted in the last gubernatorial election; in Gallia County 3,302 sig- natures were collected, which is 22.94 percent of those who voted in the last gubernatorial election. Signatures of only three percent of those registered voters were needed, according to Meredith Tucker and Liz Shaw of “We Are Ohio.” See SB 5, A6 www.mydailysentinel.com Meredith Tucker (left) and Liz Shaw of “We Are Ohio” traveled to both the Meigs and the Gallia County Board of Elections Offices to discuss with local media the petition to repeal SB 5. The visits also included how each county did in terms of the number of signatures gathered to place the SB 5 repeal on the November ballot.

OBITUARIES Page A6 • Ruth Garnet Kaspar Mescher • Paula Ann Rife WEATHER Construction work continues at the site of the new stadium on the campus of Meigs High School. A mid-September completion date has been projected by the Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation. BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – The Meigs Local Board of Education has re-entered into another lease and donation agreement with the Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation (MLEF) for the completion of the stadium project, which includes football and track fields, on a site owned by the Meigs Local School District located near the high school. The original lease expired on June 30. The new lease term, which carries the nominal rate of $1, extends from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012. Meigs Local Superintendent Rusty Bookman reports that the new contract has the same terms as were contained in the original contract entered into by the Board and the MLEF on Aug. 11, 2010. The contract agreement provides that the MLEF can only use the area leased for the purpose of completing construction of the facility. Once the project is completed and passes inspection by the Meigs Local Board of Education, the premises with all improvements are to be donated by the MLEF free of charge to the school district and at that time the lease will be terminated. For several years now the MLEF, organized by Meigs High School alumni, has been actively involved in raising funds to construct the new facility at Meigs High School. Over the years since the new school was constructed in the late 1960s football games have been played at the old stadium in Pomeroy. A chart presented at this week’s Board of Education meeting showed progression of work in the area which as of July 11 will include completion of the site drainage system, the installation of a necessary retaining wall, some tem- porary seeding, the excavation required for pouring concrete for goal post and lights, sidewalks, bleacher pads, and other structures, along with a start on installing utilities at the site. According to the chart the completion date for the facility is tentatively set for mid- September. However, Bookman said football games this fall will be played on the Pomeroy downtown field. It was reported at an earlier meeting of the Meigs Local Board of Education that the MLEF has now raised enough money to complete the project. Tuppers Plains fire under investigation BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM TUPPERS PLAINS — Investigators with the Division of State Fire Marshal have been called to investigate a structure fire which occurred Wednesday night in Tuppers Plains. The Tuppers Plains, Olive and Chester Fire Departments were dispatched at 10:12 p.m., Wednesday to a home on TR 1035 near the old grade school. Another media outlet is reporting the structure was a vacant home though this hasn’t been confirmed by the Division of State Fire Marshal. What has been confirmed is the home received heavy damage in the “area of origin” and “moderate” damage throughout the rest of the structure, according to Shane Cartmill, spokesperson for the Division of State Fire Marshal. The “area of origin” has not been revealed and Cartmill said the fire, as least at this point, has not officially been determined as arson or accidental. “This fire is still under investigation, investigators have additional work to do...interviews and following up on some additional information,” Cartmill said. Cartmill said there were no injuries and the fire was reported to Meigs 911 by a passerby. This is the third time in less than two weeks that investigators with the Division of State Fire Marshal have been called to determine the cause of fires in Meigs County. Investigators determined arson was the cause of two recent fires in Middleport. Over 400 visits logged at new One-Stop Employment Center BY BRIAN J.

Any residents who didn’t receive a report or an application of leak insurance can pick them up at the village clerk’s office. (Beth Sergent/photo) MIDDLEPORT — Meigs County’s new One-Stop Employment Center in Middleport has helped 24 job seekers find employment since it opened in March. Christopher Shank, director of the Department of Job and Family Services and Teresa Lavender, who supervises the One-Stop center, told county commissioners Thursday there have been 418 visits to the office since it first opened to the public nearly four months ago. The new center is an expansion of services formerly offered at the DJFS building next door, and helps those seeking employment prepare resumes and applications, find suitable job prospects, and assist with arranging interviews. Since moving into the new center, the DJFS has also shifted the focus on working more directly with employers, both in Meigs County and in surrounding counties. Lavender said staff members have worked with 25 area employers, including local retail businesses and service providers, as well as manufacturers in Gallia, Jackson, and Athens counties, to find suitable employees for their businesses. She noted that the 418 registered visitors include repeat visits as well as new walk-ins, but said the numbers represent a dramatic increase in services, nonetheless. She and Shank agreed the increase is directly related to the high visibility and convenience of the new center. They also agreed it has been beneficial to place the center in a location apart from the DJFS building. The county purchased the building from the Community Improvement Corporation, which had previously leased it to the University of Rio Grande for the university’s Meigs Center. It was renovated for use as the employment office, and offers free parking, a resource room, training areas, and office space for cooperative agencies including the Department of Rehabilitative Services. Clients can access all services regardless of income, and do not need to be public assistance recipients or participants in any other program. “We have seen a large increase in both job seekers and employers seeking qualified workers in the past three months,” Lavender told commissioners, “and the most important thing is that we are seeing a lot of new faces, which means more people are aware we are here to help them.” MIDDLEPORT — Two Middleport men have been charged in two of three breaking and entering cases reported there, and investigation into the cases continues. Bruce Swift, chief of police, said Matthew Erwin, 39, and Robert Ellis, 34, are charged with burglary. They are accused of daytime burglaries of the Jeff and Zandra Courtney residence and Velma Rue residence, both on South Third Avenue. The homes were broken into on June 21 and June 22, respectively. Swift said he and Ross Holter of the police department arrested the men Wednesday, with assistance from sheriff’s deputies. Swift said some property from both burglaries has been recovered. At the time of the burglaries, Swift said jewelry was stolen from both homes, and officers continue efforts to recover what has not yet been found.

REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — County commissioners have been inundated with requests for items remaining in the Veterans Memorial Hospital building, but agree that while some items may be passed on to long-standing service organizations and charities, most items will likely be reserved for their auction to be held in August. “We have been really surprised by the response from local groups interested in many items there, and we do have the authority to pass items along, but we will consider each organization before making a decision,” Commissioner Tim Ihle said at Thursday’s regular commissioners’ meeting. Following this week’s announcement they plan to liquidate the building of its surplus content, and their intentions to return items to those organizations who might have donated them originally to the hospital operation, many organizations have See Auction, A6 �Friday, July 1, 2011 National Roush family reunion POMEROY – The 83rd annual national reunion of the Roush and Allied Families in America which has several lines of families residing in Meigs County, is set for Aug. 5 and 6, 2011, at Fishers, Ind.

Ohio bill moves presidential primary to May COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The presidential primary would move from March to May in the traditionally swing state of Ohio and the early voting period would be trimmed under a bill sent Wednesday to Gov. John Kasich. The Republican-controlled House approved the election overhaul bill on a 59-40 vote along party lines. A spokesman for the Republican governor said Kasich will sign the bill into law. The GOP-led state Senate approved the legislation last week after a provision to require voters to have photo identification at the polls had been inserted by a committee but then removed. Republican Secretary of State Jon Husted, the state’s elections chief, had joined Democrats, the NAACP and others in opposing the provision. Still, the Senate could take up the ID proposal this fall when lawmakers return from summer break. Many of the ideas in the election overhaul bill came from Husted, who praised its passage Wednesday. “This comprehensive elections reform package will help modernize the state’s elections system and make it easier for Ohioans to register to vote and have their votes counted,” he said in a statement. Under the legislation, Ohio presidential primaries would no longer be the first Tuesday after the first Monday in March but would take place the first Tuesday after the first Monday in May. That means the state’s 2012 presidential primary would be May 15. Moving the state’s primary to May will give lawmakers additional time to redraw Ohio’s congressional districts, a change required as the state loses two U.S. House districts as a result of 2010 census. In addition, the bill shortens the window for in-person early voting from 35 days before Election Day to 17, and for absentee voting by mail from 35 days to 21. It also allows in-person early voting on Saturdays and allows voters to register and change addresses online. With the changes, the bill would effectively eliminate a five-day, early-voting period during which new voters could both register and cast a ballot on the same day. House Minority Leader Armond Budish, DBeachwood, argued that trimming the early voting period would lead to longer lines and deter people from voting — particularly Democrat-leaning voters in urban areas. “It does not save money. It does not protect against voter fraud,” Budish said. “Long lines suppress the vote. You can’t argue with that.” The bill’s sponsor, state Rep. Lou Blessing, RCincinnati, said it was “ludicrous” to suggest that the bill would discourage voting when the bill allows Ohioans to register to vote online and change their address if they are already registered. The legislation also includes a provision to allow the secretary of state to contract for bulk purchase of election supplies to reduce costs to county boards.

IMF urges US lawmakers to raise $14.3T debt limit WASHINGTON (AP) — The International Monetary Fund warned U.S. lawmakers Wednesday that a failure to raise the nation’s borrowing limit would pose serious risks to the global economy and financial markets. The U.S. last month reached its $14.3 trillion borrowing limit. The U.S. Treasury has said that it can keep the country operating for a couple months by employing various bookkeeping maneuvers. But if Congress doesn’t raise the borrowing limit by Aug. 2, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said the country will default on its debt. John Lipsky, acting managing director of the IMF, said a default “would have very serious and far-reaching consequences.” It would rattle markets and send interest rates soaring, making mortgages and other consumer loans more expensive. Lipsky expressed confidence that Congress will reach a deal before that happens. A sharp divide among lawmakers over how to rein in the federal budget deficit has kept Congress from raising the borrowing limit. Republicans want President Barack Obama and Democrats to agree on spending cuts equal to any increase in the borrowing limit. Democrats say the deficit-reduction deal must also include some tax increases. The IMF said enacting steep spending cuts or tax increases too quickly could hamper the U.S. recovery. It advocated raising the borrowing limit and implementing a long-term deficit-reduction strategy. President Obama on Wednesday said that eliminating selected tax breaks for oil companies and the super-wealthy must be part of any deficit reduction plan. He also said that a bipartisan agreement is possible to cut deficits, raise the government’s debt limit and avert a threatened financial crisis. Obama said both Democrats and Republicans must be prepared to “take on their sacred cows” as part of the deficit-reduction negotiations. Republicans say they will not support any proposal that raises taxes. Saturday Night: A chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 68.

Perhaps you have not noticed it, but the Spirit of God is moving in our area. It is not just Meigs County, either. The Spirit of the Living God is moving. The currents of His presence are drifting, shifting and moving all around us. It is not a loud presence, but it is a clear existence of the power of Jesus in our area. The alteration of the human heart comes in phases. One note on a violin is nothing remarkable unto itself, but with each additional strum, the beauty of a violin can truly be heard, especially in the Master’s hands. So it is with the Quiet Revival. We are not seeing mass conversions and decisions and honestly, I am glad we are not. We are seeing something new, something greater. We are seeing the true indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of God’s children. Marriages are being restored, even resurrected from the brink of divorce. Addicts are being helped. Hardened hearts are changing. The cornerstone of pain and hurt is being demolished in their hearts as God reveals how much He loves them and how powerful He truly is. God is on the move. Maybe you have not seen it. Well, if you are looking for this wonderful Quiet Revival, it is not happening in a pew. It is not happening in the confines of a structure. It is happening in the streets, the work place, restaurants, and any place people meet. It is unlike anything we have really seen before in our area. Why? Because it is not pastor driven. It is laity driven and praise the Lord for it! There are Carrie Wolfe people with hearts ablaze and they are not being boisterous. They are being real. They are living the life of wholeness in the Lord Jesus Christ. They are moving and growing in the power of the Holy Spirit with a burning desire to love and please God the Father. Wake up church and realize the humdee-dum-sit-in-apew and expect the masses to come in days are OVER! Get up and see what magnificent things the Lord is doing! Get on board with it, choose to be a part of this great initiative of the Kingdom! Get over the fact that some things are going to change in your life and in the face of the church in general! Get it. Get the blessing, not only in your life, but in your families! Get with it church! Revival unlike anything we have every seen is coming upon us! Do not stand around staring at the sky waiting for God to appear. Be at work for His Kingdom!! The change happening in the laity is true, real, genuine, and it is impacting generations. This is a Quiet Revival not because people are being quiet, but because it is happening quietly in the secret place of the heart where only God can dwell, one person at a time. It is majesty and pageantry the way the folds of grace drape a person’s life. Grace is Friday, July 1, 2011 ‘What hath God wrought?’ being draped all around us and it is beautiful. It is time that the church put on its big pants of faith and stop giving the devil something to laugh about. You see, when the body of Christ squabbles over ridiculous things such as what type of music to play for worship, what to wear to church, what activities to have, or if we should have praise dance in church, the devil giggles like a school girl at us! Why? BECAUSE WE ARE DOING THE WORK OF THE DEVIL FOR HIM! We are one body in Christ. We have many parts, but one body. We are the face of Christ to the hungry, the lost, the brokenhearted, and the captive. When someone looks at you, who do they see? Do they see you or the face of the loving, redemptive Savior? We are supposed to be more and more like Him. He is to shine through us. He has no hands, but our hands and no feet, but our feet. Where will His hands work today? Where will His feet go today? Where will His eyes shine so brightly, so lovingly today? When Jesus came, the status quo, in essence the church rejected Him. He was the cornerstone rejected by the builders. The builders were the established pharisees and sadducees. They resisted the movement of the Holy Spirit and the truth of Jesus while claiming to serve the Father. They could not get past their own egos to see the brilliant truth before them. The only word Jesus had for them over and over again was “woe.” Are you participating in the great out pouring of grace? Get up, get on, get over, and get it! And live a life of Grace Out Loud. BY REV. THOMAS JOHNSON “What hath God wrought?” This was the message transmitted by Samuel Morse, when he demonstrated his latest invention, the telegraph machine. “What hath God wrought?” Believe it or not, this quote is to be found in the Book of Numbers, 23:23— though in the New King James Version it is a declaration, implying God already has done a marvelous thing [on behalf of the nation of Israel]. In 1844, Morse used this quotation to express his gratitude for God’s having inspired him to first conceive, and then to manufacture a fullyfunctional telegraph. “What hath God wrought?” This question came to mind the other day as I contemplated some things currently making headlines in the news. To answer my own question, and to give credit where it’s due, having re-read the Biblical account of Creation I am reminded God’s daily accomplishments were “good” in His sight— good, as in “complete” and “perfect.” Now, mull this quote over: ... “God created man in His own image and, ever since, man has been trying to return the favor.” Such as this past weekend, when the State of New York officially embraced same-sex marriage. The various, secular news sources reported this as real progress on the part of the state of New York; the implementation, next month, is merely a fait accompli. The same day the State of New York embraced same-sex marriage, I officiated the wedding of a man and a Rev. Thomas Johnson woman here in this church. According to the Bible, this particular two- some was in total compliance with God’s plan—as was I in performing the marriage. The Book of Genesis is all the confirmation I need that marriage is exclusively and solely intended to be the union of a man and a woman. Moreover, at one such union—again, of a man and a woman—Jesus performed his first public miracle when he changed ordinary drinking water into the finest wine the master of the ceremony had ever tasted! Let’s allow the fact of that matter to speak for itself. I have no idea why Jesus didn’t leave the water alone; or, if he had to change it at all, why he didn’t change the water to milk. As regards the far more weighty issue of marriage, there is nothing in the whole of God’s Word which says marriage should be anything BUT the union of one man and one woman. However, with reference to the earlier quote concerning the selfish and self-serving efforts on the part of man to effect a do-over of God, so that our Almighty Creator would then be subject to His creatures’ control ... well, this isn’t going to happen! Still, there is no shortage of those who refuse to concede God’s holiness and Lordship. Look around, and consider what’s happening in our Country. What God brought into being— Creation and our salvation—are two magnificent works no human can ever replicate. Yet, many are those who are totally oblivious to God’s handiwork and His love. In the Book of Numbers (23:19), we also encounter this: ... “God is not a man, that He should lie—or repent.” Indeed not! Our God is the Lord and Giver of life, who so loved His Creation He gave up His Son to save us.” They are fools who deny this and behave otherwise! However, this past Sunday, the 26th, in some mainline Protestant churches, there were fools aplenty who, as part of that day’s liturgy, read excerpts from the Koran, the holy book of Islam. Although the Koran mentions one god, the being it exalts is “Allah”—and by no stretch of the imagination is he the equivalent of our own, Jehovah God! In no way did those readings honor the Lord our God. Yet, when next Sunday comes, preceding as it does the 235th anniversary of this Country’s Declaration of Independence, many of those same clergy will petition God to bless America. What a farce that will be! Is there no end to our national hypocrisy?!? When will we ever learn? The deviates now intent upon subverting God’s commandments and the laws of our Land will yet find themselves “sinners in the hands of an angry God.” America’s overall moral character leaves a lot to be desired, but let’s not give up the ship just yet. The Lord is our helper, and in 2 Chronicles 7:14 is His promise. Donʼt doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light. No matter how hard you try, in a room that’s completely dark, you’ll never be able to see anything. Even if you know for sure that something is in the room, it’s impossible to see it if the room is totally dark. You know it’s there, but you just can’t see it. That’s what faith is like. You may be absolutely confident that God loves you; however, during the difficult and dark times in life, you may not be able to see that love. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Even when you don’t see God’s love for you, you can still have faith that he loves you -- that is, you can be certain that he loves you, even though you don’t see it. During those “dark times” in your spiritual life, you may not be able to see God’s love, his faithfulness, his grace, or his promises to you; however, don’t lose your faith. Be certain of what [you] do not see. One day, your faith will be sight. Courage is fear prayed for. Everyone feels afraid many times during life. However, when the Bible instructs us to “fear not,” it doesn’t mean not to feel afraid; rather, it means to decide to press on even in the face of fear. Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

I’ve also heard that once you leave and set out on your own path in life, “you can never really go back home.” I’m not sure that such sweeping statements apply to every situation, but they certainly applied to the Lord Jesus Who did go back to His “hometown” in the days of His earthly ministry. He was born in Bethlehem, spent a very brief time in Egypt (when Herod the Great was trying to find and kill the “little King”), and was occasionally in Jerusalem in accordance with the instructions God had given His people at that time. But the town of Nazareth had the privilege of being the place in which Jesus “grew up”. Remember that the Lord Jesus had entered fully into the human experience (except without sin, Hebrews 4:15), so it was Nazareth in which the Lord would have cultivated His earliest human friendships and fond memories. Did He feel sentimental towards this small town and wax nostalgic whenever He heard the first century equivalent of the Springsteen song, “This Is Your Hometown”? I have no idea, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that He did. What I do see, however, in reading of His experience in “going back home”, is His hometown’s failure to recognize just Who it was that they had in their ranks for nearly thirty years. “Jesus… went to His hometown, accompanied by His disciples. When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard Him were amazed. ‘Where did this man get these things?’ they asked. ‘What’s this wisdom that has been given Him, that He even does miracles! Isn’t this the carpenter? Isn’t this Mary’s son and the brother of James, Joseph, Judas, and Simon? Aren’t His sisters here with us?’ Jesus said to them, ‘Only in his hometown, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet without honor’” (Mark 6:1-4 NIV). What a shame! Here was a whole town of people who thought that they had Jesus figured out! A whole community who thought that they knew Jesus, but didn’t really know Him at all. And in “dismissing” His divine identity, they were dismissing the very hope and only source of life that each and every one Thom Mollohan of Nazareth’s citizen’s so desperately needed. “He could not do any miracles there, except lay His hands on a few sick people and heal them. And He was amazed (or He marveled) at their lack of faith” (Mark 6:56 NIV). A great many people have taught a great many things about verse five, saying that somehow God’s power was curtailed by the hard hearts of the people of Nazareth. But that isn’t so. Refusing to recognize the glorious identity of Jesus’ Person cannot in any way diminish His essence. What it DOES do, however, is tragically limit what we could have otherwise hoped for in knowing Him. If we choose to not recognize that from Him flow lifegiving waters, we’ll not be able to quench our parched souls’ thirst for something more than what this physical life alone can supply (John 4:10, 14-15; Jeremiah 2:13). Or refusing to accept that He has the authority to forgive sin prevents us from having that cursed burden lifted from our shoulders, liberating us from crushing condemnation (Matthew 9:2, 5-6; John 8:10-11; Romans 8:1). What miracles then couldn’t He do in the little burg of Nazareth? Well, His power over the physical realm was clearly unhindered for He was still fully capable of bringing healing to physical bodies (and did so for some). The people of Nazareth spiritual diseases, however, remained with them. The people’s collective refusal to accept Jesus for Who He was closed their hearts to His power over their sick souls and the spiritual hunger that only He could satisfy. In fact, Matthew 13 says that they “took offense at Him” (verse 57) and Mark 4 records that they not only were offended but just about “lynched” Him. And why? Because they didn’t like the fact that this “carpenter” forgot His place and was “meddling” with their personal lives. People don’t like people who point out their depravity, especially if the people pointing it out are their own people. We’ll say things like, “Just who does he think HE is anyway? Why that hypocrite! Where does HE get off telling ME how to live my life!” and so on. And how do I know that the spiritual realm is where Jesus “couldn’t” do His miracles in the hearts of the Nazarenes? Because of what happens next in Mark 6. When Jesus leaves Nazareth and begins to reach out with the love of God to the neighboring villages, He sends out His disciples with the message that “people should repent” (Mark 6:12). Again, Jesus’ essence cannot be diminished by lack of faith on your part or mine, but we are rendered “unreachable” if we refuse to climb down off of the pedestal of our pride or relinquish our selfishness. Rejecting His right to our lives as Lord or refusing to acknowledge the truth of His Word as applied to our lives (e.g., that we need to forsake sin and follow Him) leaves us shut out of the grace that He would lavish upon us if we would simply humble ourselves and turn to Him. Just think of the power that God could unleash in your life if you would turn wholeheartedly to Him and let Him into your heart! Such power can transform you, your family, your community, and your country! “If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV). We as a people need miracles. We need the miracle of lives being changed from self-serving to serving God and others. We need the miracle of hearts being set free from hopelessness and despair, given instead a new destiny filled with purpose, peace, and joy. The fact is that God is wanting to do just that in our lives. The only thing He is waiting on is for us to really start believing that He is Who He says He is, repent, and turn to Him.

Safety is not found in the absence of danger but in the presence of God Even while David was seized by his enemies, the Philistines, he wrote this: When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4). David knew that no matter what his circumstances looked like -- whether his life was in great danger or not -- his safety depended on God. It is no surprise, then, that David wrote in Psalm 27:1-3: The Lord is my light and my salvation -- whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life -- of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall. Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident. When you feel afraid of what other people can do to you, remember that God has ultimate control over your life. However, it is important to note that in order to expect God's protection, you must be in God's presence. Notice that Psalm 91:1-2 says, He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust." In order to be rest in God's shadow, you must be in His presence -- and that means spending time with God, reading His Word, and praying. Page A5 Friday, July 1, 2011 Light can be frightening when you do not know what it is BY PASTOR RON BRANCH Two young brothers had just finished watching “Friday Night Frights,” a weekly series of scary stories featured on a Baltimore TV station, with their Dad. Although it was way past their usual bedtime, the two had been allowed to watch that particular week’s offering of horror tales. After being directed to bed, they both tentatively balked at the bottom of the steps which led to their bedroom. They fussed in whispered tones which of the two would go upstairs first. There were two bed rooms upstairs in their cracker box house with two doors of entry. The first door at the top of the steps gave entry to both bedrooms, and a second door gave entry to the larger of the two rooms, which was set up with three twin beds and accompanying furniture for three brothers. When both doors were closed to the smaller room, it made for a very dark environment. The two had taken to sleeping in the double bed in the smaller room because of its usual coziness, but, having just finished watching the “Friday Night Frights,” the usual cozy darkness became eerie and threatening to them. With the older brother leading the way, they eased up the creaking steps, silently shut the door, and slipped into bed quietly. Since the oldest brother was already asleep in the other room, the door to that room was closed, too. The two lay in bed with the covers tightened Pastor Ron Branch around their necks, both unwittingly replaying in their mind some of the scary images they had just seen. Suddenly, a small light darted across the room. When a second light did the same, the brothers ducked under the covers completely. The younger of the two started to bolt the room, but the older one grabbed him and whispered, “It might get you! We are safest here!” The unknown light seen in the darkness of the room stirred appalling possibilities. They had felt at least a modicum of selfsafety in the darkness. They wished they had not seen that light dart across their room. It is surely uncanny for many circumstances how frightening light can be in when you do not know what it is. The spiritual and Scripture comparison about light in darkness is equally startling, particularly when the following is read, “The light shone in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.” The reference to “light” is reference to Jesus Christ, for He is the Light of God sent to shine in a world self-conditioned by the darkness of sin and rebellion against God. “Men love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil.” The light of Jesus Christ shining through the God-fearing people of the churches pricks the soul and the conscience of those who feel safest in their own dark perspectives and dark actions. That is why the governmental elitists are eradicating witness about Jesus Christ from governmental buildings as much as they can under the guise of separation of church and state. That is why society hates any emphasis on Bible-based morals. That is why so many false teachers have infiltrated churches so as to demonize the truth about Christ. People will not receive the light of Christ until they come to understand the temporal and eternal good and difference Christ makes in lives. Oh, how critical it is in these desperate days that Christians live the light in their own lives, and that churches evangelize and administer the light of Christ to those who are being hurt by the dark lies propagated by the evil of this present world system. After eternal moments of quivering under the covers, the older brother realized what he thought the light must be. Emerging and reaching up slowly in the darkness, he felt for and flipped on the light switch. Almost immediately, he saw a lightening bug flit across the room. I know this story is a true account. My two brothers and I have laughed about it over the years, particularly when our middle brother retells it with his innate comic tones and gestures. Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done… Last time we talked about the importance of blessing others, particularly our children. Jesus even thought us how to approach our Heavenly Father to receive our blessings as well. In Matthew 6:9-15 we find what we know as The Lord’s Prayer. In this prayer Jesus taught us how to address the Father. Currently, we are going through this scripture at our church to extrapolate the meaning of this prayer and I want to share some of what we have discovered. In verse 10 Jesus said: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” This is a very common way to pray in many churches as the Lord’s Prayer is recited, but the question is: do we realize what Jesus is saying here? Do we understand what He is implying? According to scriptures, believers belong to the Kingdom of God – not to a religious organization. The church is the organism that God operates through in the earth. I have simplified this concept simply to establish our thoughts on God’s jurisdictional leadership, governmental Alex Colon order and kingdom system. Having said that, let me also mention that when Jesus is asking His disciples as well as us today to make such statement or to pray along the lines of asking God’s kingdom to come to earth, His way and not ours, He is saying a lot! In God’s governmental system, His Kingdom begins with obedience. Obedience to the believer is one of the main keys to a successful and powerful Christian walk. That obedience is basically based or found in the Word of God as well as in prayer. In other words, just as any earthly kingdom or government operates with meetings of the minds and planning under the structure of its constitutional order, so does Gods’ kingdom operates. The meeting of the minds in God’s kingdom is called prayer, and His Word is our Constitution. Therefore, when asking God our Father and Creator to have His kingdom come, we’re simply asking Him to implement His power, authority, culture, ideas, mindsets, etc, to ours. In other words, ‘thy kingdom come’ is simply asking our Heavenly King to step into our earthly affairs and the way we conduct our lives with heaven’s and do as He wishes. This type of praying goes contradicting to our democratic mindset that has been trained to vote and/or voice what we want – our will. Jesus did not say: “thy kingdom come MY will be done…” No – Jesus asked the Father for His will to be done on earth as it is being done in heaven. Furthermore, what does it mean for God’s kingdom to come? Well, do to limited space I will have to pick on this next time. Meanwhile, let God’s kingdom come and His will be done in our lives, our churches and our community as it is being done in heaven. The world isn't reading the Bible; they're reading Christians like you. And if they don't like what they see in you, they're not going to want what you've got – Jesus. �Friday, July 1, 2011 Obituaries Ruth Garnet Kaspar Mescher Ruth Garnet Kaspar Mescher, 95, of Grundy, Va., went to be with the Lord, Wednesday, June 29, 2011 in the Buchanan General Hospital, Grundy, Va.

The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 www.mydailysentinel.com Auction SB 5 From Page A1 From Page A1 asked for items such as dishware, linens and equipment. Commissioners plan to inventory items in the building — excluding things stored by county departments — for disposal. They plan, ultimately, to tear the building down. Commissioners are considering demolishing the 40 year-old building so the site can be put to practical use. The old hospital, they say, is beyond repair, because the roof is leaking and causing structural damage. Commissioners said Thursday they will consider all requests for donations, but will carefully consider each request before making a decision. Many of those requests will be referred to the sale, where many items will likely be sold at little cost. Commissioner Tim Ihle said they hope to hold the sale in midAugust. Commissioners will hold next week’s regular meeting, at the regular time, 1 p.m. Thursday, at the Chester Courthouse, to promote the upcoming Ohio Chautauqua. They also: • Approved a number of contracts for the Department of Job and Family Services. • Accepted bids for bituminous materials for July from Phillips Oil Co., Columbus, and Asphalt Materials, Marietta, and referred same to Engineer Eugene Triplett. • Approved payment of bills in the amount of $192,200.66. Attending were Ihle, President Michael Bartrum and Tom Anderson, and Clerk Gloria Kloes. Shaw and Tucker made appearances at both the Meigs and Gallia County Board of Elections Offices Thursday to talk about the numbers and “We Are Ohio” which is described as a citizen-driven, communitybased, bipartisan coalition that has come together to repeal SB 5. More than 10,000 volunteers have stepped forward to circulate petitions for “We Are Ohio’s” campaign to repeal SB 5 by placing it to a vote on the November ballot. One such volunteer is Shaw who is from Meigs County and has worked collecting signatures in southeast Ohio, including in Meigs and Gallia Counties. During the campaign of collecting signatures, Shaw said she’s encountered bipartisan support from people form all walks of political life. “I wish our national parties could learn from this show of bipartisanship,” Shaw said. Shaw, who is not a public employee but said her husband is, described being dismayed over how the SB 5 legislation was “rammed through” the Ohio Senate. “This is what got me off the couch,” she explained about her journey to get involved. She also stressed the “We Are Ohio” banners and materials say “Let the People Speak” to emphasize what the vote in November is about — in short, letting the people decide. What happens now is the petitions and their signatures will be distributed from the Ohio Secretary of State’s Office to local Boards of Elections where staff will have to verify the signatures and addresses as being those of registered voters. According to Becky Johnston of the Meigs County Board of Elections, four boxes with 133 books of petition will be shipped to her office no later than July 7, which is the shipping deadline for all Boards of Elections to receive the signatures for verification. The campaign to place the issue on the ballot requires 231,149 valid signatures in the State of Ohio. With 1.2 million to sort through, “We Are Ohio” representatives are hopeful that goal will be achieved. “We Are Ohio” is planning a southeast Ohio rally for support of the repeal in October at the Gallia County Jr. Fair Grounds though these plans have not yet been confirmed. An organizational committee meets next week to discuss the event. SB 5 has certainly been discussed across the state with both those for and against the legislation fighting to be heard. Johnston said she’s already received two public records requests regarding the petition materials collected in Meigs County — one from a group that supports SB 5 and one from a group that opposes it. Numbers of signatures and percentages of voters for some neighboring counties, supplied by “We Are Ohio” are: Athens County, 33.44 percent and 8,738 signatures; Vinton County, 29.53 percent and 1,743 signatures. Athens County had the third highest percentage of signatures in the state with Lucas County having the highest at 39.52 percent. Cuyahoga County topped the list when it came to the most signatures — 200,583 people signed petitions there.

Meigs holds off Logan rally for 8-6 Legion win SENTINEL STAFF MDSSPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM LOGAN, Ohio — Meigs Post 39 took a 7-0 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning of an Eighth District Legion League baseball game against Logan Wednesday evening at Allen Field and held off a late Post 78 rally to claim an 8-6 victory. Post 78 (3-13 overall, 2-9 Eighth District Legion League) hosts Lancaster Post 11’s junior team this evening before finishing its league season with a makeup game against Gallipolis Post 27 Tuesday. The Eighth District tournament gets under way Sunday, July 10, in Lancaster. Ryan Payne’s two-run double highlighted a three-run fifth inning as Meigs was establishing its 7-0 lead in addition to single runs in the second and third and two tallies in the sixth. Post 78 began its comeback with two runs in the seventh — Curtis Barkhurst singled and scored on an error and Jay Ruff walked and scored on a passed ball — then Logan pulled within 7-5 with a trio of markers in the eighth. Tyler Mourn struck out but reached base on a passed ball and Jacob Glick followed with a walk. Barkhurst then cracked an RBI single and Colt Woolever followed with a two-run single to draw Post 78 within two tallies. Meigs got a big insur- ance run in the top of the ninth when Payne doubled and came across on a Ryan Shook single to make it 8-5. With two out and the bases empty in the last of the ninth, Mourn was hit by a pitch and Glick singled to bring the potential tying run to the plate in the person of Barkhurst, who reached on an error to plate Mourn and put the potential tying run on base. However, Meigs pitcher Tyler Roush whiffed the final Logan batter to end the rally and the game. Roush went the distance on the hill for the winners, allowing eight hits and all six runs (two earned) while sitting down 15 Logan batters on strikes. Barkhurst took the Post 78 pitching loss, giving up seven runs (six earned) in 5 1/3 innings and fanning six. Ruff finished up, whiffing two in 3 2/3 innings and permitting one run. Brian Cook doubled and singled to pace Post 78 at the plate, with Woolever and Barkhurst both adding a single and Glick and Kyle Hixenbaugh each contributing a base rap. For Post 39, Payne and Ryan Taylor both had a double and single and Roush, Adam Pape, Josh Shook and Ryan Shook all chipped in a single. Information provided by The Logan Daily News in Logan, Ohio.

Corinne Dubreuil/Abaca Press/MCT Russia's Maria Sharapova returns a shot to Czech Republic's Klara Zakopalova during the Wimbledon Championships in Wimbledon, England, Saturday. Sharapova, Kvitova advance to Wimbledon final WIMBLEDON, England (AP) — Her serve all over the place, Maria Sharapova overcame 13 double-faults Thursday to defeat wild card Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-3 and return to the Wimbledon final. She will play for the title against Petra Kvitova, who reached her first major final by hitting nine aces in a 61, 3-6, 6-2 victory over Victoria Azarenka in the opening semifinal. Sharapova, who won the first of her three Grand Slam crowns at the All England Club in 2004, had two doublefaults in her opening service game, the second giving her opponent a break. She had two more while trailing 3-0, but saved a break point and then won 12 of the final 16 games. “I felt like I was just rushing things, my first serve,” Sharapova said. “She’s someone that has pretty big swings and likes to take charge and hit the ball. I didn’t really want to give her too many looks on second serves. I think maybe I overthought it too much.” The turning point may have come on that first saved break point. With Lisicki playing nearly flawless tennis through the first three games, she turned to the drop shot that was so effective against Marion Bartoli in the quarterfinals. But this one went into the net, putting the score at deuce and giving momentum to Sharapova. Even though Sharapova’s first serve didn’t get much better, her game once the ball was in play did, sending forehands and backhands into the corners and passing her outmatched opponent. Lisicki became frustrated early in the second set as a light drizzle started on Centre Court. Trailing 0-30 and hoping to get a short reprieve, Lisicki asked chair umpire Louise Engzell to suspend play, but was denied. Three points later, it was 3-0 to Sharapova and Lisicki’s chances of reaching a first Grand Slam final were fading fast. Sharapova, who has not lost a set at this year’s tournament, had 18 unforced errors and only 14 winners. Lisicki did exactly the opposite, with 18 winners and 14 unforced errors. “I hadn’t been past the fourth round in a few years,” said Sharapova, who last reached the Wimbledon semifinals in 2006. “So to be at this stage, I’m just thrilled to have the opportunity to go for it.” Besides her Wimbledon victory, Sharapova also won the 2006 U.S. Open and the 2008 Australian Open. But shoulder surgery in October 2008 slowed her career. “I set myself certain goals. I never really met any of them, to be honest,” Sharapova said of her return to tennis. “There were many, when I wanted to come back, how I wanted to feel, where my pain level was. So that was frustrating.” In the final, Sharapova’s serve will have to improve if she wants to win a fourth major. In Kvitova, she faces a player who had never won a match on grass before last year’s tournament, when she reached the semifinals. “She’s a really tricky player because she’s a great grass-court player,” Sharapova said. “She’s a lefty, she uses her serve really well and she’s playing really good tennis.” In the first match, Kvitova rode her big serve right into the final, hitting three aces in a row in the final game of the first set. “All match it was around both serves,” Kvitova said, “so I’m very happy my serve was good in the third set.” Kvitova was playing in only her second major semifinal, and she dictated play throughout. The Czech left-hander had 40 winners and 14 unforced errors; Azarenka had only nine winners and seven unforced errors. And it was Azarenka’s serve that finished it when the fourth-seeded Belarusian committed her second double-fault of the day on match point. In the first set, Kvitova twice broke Azarenka’s serve and saved the only break point she faced. She finished the set with six aces. But Azarenka responded in the second, finally converting a break point in the second game to take a 2-0 lead. She held the rest of the way and evened the match, but couldn’t do much about her opponent’s serve. “She started serving, and she really played very well on her service game. Was a little bit of a bad luck, I think,” Azarenka said. “She was just going for every single shot today. When my balls were going a little bit out like this, her balls were going into the line.” Kvitova lost only one point in the opening game of the third set, and then broke for a 2-0 lead. At 3-1, Azarenka had two break points, but Kvitova saved them both and won the next two points to make it 41. Kvitova is the first left-handed woman to reach the Wimbledon final since Martina Navratilova in 1994. Navratilova, who won the title nine times and was in the crowd Thursday, and Ann Jones (1969) are the only left-handers to win the championship dish at the All England Club. “We met in the locker room and she’s told me well done and good luck for the next match,” Kvitova said, referring to Navratilova. “It’s very nice when I can meet her and speak with her.” The last lefty to even reach a women’s major final was Monica Seles at the 1998 French Open. B1 Friday, July 1, 2011 Tri-County Junior Golfers complete third round of season BY FRANK CAPEHART SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL POMEROY, Ohio — After three completed rounds of the 2011 TriCounty Junior Golf League, the young linksters have forged excitingly tight races in each of the four age groups. Entering the week off for the Independence holiday, the juniors will have time to ponder the final outcomes when they return for the fourth, and final, points that will be awarded for play that will be awarded for play at Cliffside on Monday, July 11. The premier 15-17 shows a three-way contest for the seasonal crown. David Michael of Crown City finished second at Kountry Hills with a 40, moving him into first place overall with 24 points. Boeing Smith of Gallipolis won his second straight weekly award with a 39, trailing Michael by four points with a total of 20 on the season. Seth Jarrell captured third at Kountry Hills with a 42 and also stands third overall in the division with 19 points. Jordan Howell (Bidwell) and Michael MacKnight (New Haven) tied for fourth with matching 43s, while Dakota Sisk (New Haven) fired a 44 for sixth. The 13-14 division now sports a deadlock for the seasonal top spot between Zach Graham and Michael Edelmann, both of Gallipolis. Graham shot 47 at Kountry Hills to finish as the weekly runner-up, while Edelmann collected fifth with a 54. Jacob Hoback (Racine) posted a weekly winning score of 46 and currently sits third with 16 points. Zack Morris (Vinton) scored third with a 51, just one shot ahead of Logan Sheets of Bidwell. Bryce Tayengco of Point Pleasant notched a 48 to win the top spot at Kountry Hills, edging into a narrow lead for the overall division crown with 20 points — just two points ahead of Jared Parissi of Gallipolis. Addison Stanley (Gallipolis) posted a 53 for weekly runner-up honors and also holds third overall with 16 points. Jonah Hoback (Racine) chalked up third for the week with a 55, just ahead of Jonathan Burns of Point Pleasant. Jasiah Brewer (Pomeroy) fashioned a 44 for weekly honors in the 10-and-under division, while Dylan Tayengco (Point Pleasant) was runner-up with 48. Tayengco holds a slim season lead for the crown with 28 points, while Brewer is close behind with 26 points. Maddux Camden (Rio Grande) finished third in the weekly event and also sits third overall on the season. So much will be decided on July 11 when the tri-county juniors reassemble at Cliffside Golf Club in Gallipolis for the fourth and final round. Then, on July 18 at Hidden Valley in Point Pleasant, the awards day roundup fun day will conclude the 2011 season. These final two weeks should be exciting. All area youth golfers are invited to participate. Registration each week begins at 8:30 a.m., and tee-off times begin at 9 a.m. — rain or shine. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, July 1, 2011 Ochocinco gets 150-mph ride with Jeff Burton David Pokress/Newsday/MCT Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees throws out Michael Brantley of the Cleveland Indians in the first inning at Yankee Stadium in New York, Monday, June 13. Jeter lined up to rejoin Yankees on Monday in Cleveland TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Derek Jeter is set to rejoin the Yankees on Monday in his return from a calf injury. The shortstop said Thursday he will play minor league rehab games Saturday and Sunday at Double-A Trenton and be with the Yankees for a series in Cleveland. “I feel good now,” Jeter said after working out at the Yankees’ minor league complex. “I feel a lot better. I’m ready to get out of here.” The team captain is six hits shy of 3,000. A return next week could put him on track to reach the milestone at Yankee Stadium during a fourgame series against Tampa Bay from July 7- 10. Then comes the AllStar break, and New York opens the second half with an eight-game road trip. Jeter had been eligible to come off the 15-day disabled list Wednesday but wasn’t ready. His bid to become the 28th major leaguer — and first with the Yankees — to get 3,000 hits has been on hold since he strained his right calf June 13 against the Indians. “I hadn’t done anything for a couple weeks, so it takes a little while to get loose and get in baseball shape,” Jeter said. Jeter, who turned 37 on Sunday, is batting .260 with two homers and 20 RBIs. He has 12 extrabase hits in 262 at-bats and a .324 on-base per- centage. Jeter increased his intensity in Thursday’s workout, running from home to first after hitting a ball and also turning double plays. He had 60 swings in batting practice, took grounders and ran from first to third. “Things have gone well,” said Jeter, who is scheduled to workout Friday in Florida before departing for Trenton. Also, converted reliever Mark Prior, on the DL at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre because of a strained groin, could throw batting practice Saturday. Right-hander Rafael Soriano, out with right elbow inflammation, has started long toss sessions. HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Chad Ochocinco turned to NASCAR on Thursday in his ongoing search for thrills away from the football field. Ochocinco was strapped in for the ride as Jeff Burton drove his No. 31 car around Atlanta Motor Speedway on Thursday. Burton estimated he reached speeds of 150 to 160 miles per hour with Ochocinco. That seemed to satisfy Ochocinco, who climbed out and said “That was nice. That was real nice.” Before the laps, Ochocinco said he made sure Burton was ready to push the Chevrolet. “I asked him to let loose,” Ochocinco said. “Please don’t waste my time. Step on the gas.” Ochocinco, the sixtime Pro Bowl receiver, is making the most of his extended time away from football during the NFL lockout. He took the ride with Burton about six weeks after visiting the Professional Bull Riders circuit near Atlanta to ride a 1,500pound bull for 1.5 seconds. He also has had a soccer tryout with Sporting Kansas City of the MLS and last year was one of the final four contestants in Dancing With the Stars. Next? Ochocinco said he plans to wrestle an alligator in Florida. “If you’re not nervous, you’re not living,” he said. “I’m willing to try everything once.” Burton said he didn’t try to scare his passenger on the high-speed turns around the speedway. “You can’t scare him,” Burton said. “The man has ridden a bull. He runs routes across the middle of the field. He wants to wrestle an alligator. How do you scare an athlete like that?” Ochocinco’s future with the Cincinnati Bengals is uncertain after the Bengals drafted receiver A.J. Green in the first round. Ochocinco could be released or asked to take a pay cut after the lockout. Ochocinco said he isn’t optimistic the lockout will end in time for the 2011 NFL season to start when scheduled. “I think it’s coming back,” he said. “I don’t think it’s starting on time ... no matter what you are reading. No way.” A smiling Ochocinco says he has interest in the sport as an owner — for a No. 85 car, of course — but not a driver because “I’d lose every damn day.” Ochocinco said he was “out of my element” as he tried to understand how Burton guided the car high and low through turns on the track. “How the hell they are able to do that with 30 other drivers on the track is beyond me,” he said, adding NASCAR “really is a sport and it does take skill.” Burton gave Ochocinco a brief description of the car and the racing team before the ride and continued the tutorial as the two sat in the car after the laps. Asked Ochocinco: “Is it better to know the opponents or better to know the track?” Said Burton: “Better to know the track.” Burton’s pit crew also gave Ochocinco a lesson on how to change tires. The student appeared surprise to learn he had to put more effort than he expected in pushing the jack handle down to lift the car. Ochocinco wore an allblack firesuit which he noted was far too conservative for his taste. If he had his own suit, he said “it would probably be all gold.” Indians OF Choo has thumb surgery CLEVELAND (AP) — Indians outfielder Shin-Soo Choo could miss up to 21⁄2 months after having surgery on his broken left thumb. Choo’s thumb was broken Friday night in San Francisco when he was struck while batting in the fourth inning by Giants left-hander Jonathan Sanchez. Choo’s finger was also cut and required stitches. On Tuesday, Choo’s thumb was repaired at the Cleveland Clinic by hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham. The Indians said Graham “openly reduced and internally fixated the fracture.” Indians head trainer Lonnie Soloff said recovery is 8-10 weeks, which includes any rehab time he might need. “Before anything went down today, we knew that he was going to be down for at least two months,” Indians manager Manny Acta said before a night game Tuesday at Arizona. “That’s no secret to us.” Choo was batting .244, with five home runs and 28 RBIs in 72 games. At the time of his injury, he was homerless in 125 atbats, but was beginning to show signs of emerging from a season-long slump. He had hit safely in 29 of his past 36 games and batted .370 over his previous eight games. Acta has been rotating Austin Kearns, Travis Buck and Shelley Duncan to replace Choo in right field and will likely continue to do so with limited alternatives. Buck started in right against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. “You can talk to the other 29 clubs and every team that’s in it, they’re not going to be getting rid of their players,” he said. “It’s very tough to find a player of his caliber on any club anyway or in our system, so we’re just going to have to do the best we can and have guys pick up the slack at different positions, have guys play up to their capabilities. “There’s no magic wand on this one. We lost a good player and we’re just going to have to move forward without him until he comes back.” It’s been a tough season for Choo. The South Korean was arrested on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol in May and recently acknowledged letting his off-field problems influence his on-field performance. Last season, Choo was the only AL player to hit .300 with 20 homers and 20 steals. Study finds more pollution at beaches nationwide LOS ANGELES (AP) — Those envisioning July 4 celebrations at the beach may be swimming at their own risk according to a new study that found the number of beach closures nationwide due to dirty water soared last year. The Natural Resources Defense Council, which released its annual report Wednesday, found that beach closures and advisories across the country increased by 29 percent in 2010 compared to a year earlier. The conservation group used data from 3,000 locations nationwide and found that waters in Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan had the highest levels of contamination. “It’s a summer rite of passage,” said David Beckman, a senior attorney who directs the nonprofit’s water program. “Unfortunately it can also make you sick.” Eleven percent of California’s beaches reported elevated levels of bacterial contamination, the largest amount in five years. Among those at the top of the list were Avalon Beach, Cabrillo Beach and Colorado Lagoon in Los Angeles County, Poche County Beach and Doheny State Beach in Orange County and Candlestick Point in San Francisco County. Most bacterial contamination occurs during winter, when heavy rains overload storm drains and sewage systems, washing waste into the sea. Swimming in such pollution can cause gastrointestinal, respiratory and other illnesses and is of particular risk for children and the elderly whose immune systems may not be as strong. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that up to 3.5 million people become ill from contact with raw sewage from overflows every year. Swimmers are advised not to swim near storm drains or go into the waters within 72 hours of a rain when pollution levels are typically higher. Mike Cardew/Akron Beacon Journal/MCT Cleveland Cavaliers' J.J. Hickson (left) reaches for a rebound as Detroit Pistons' Greg Monroe defends in the first quarter at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, on Wednesday, February 9. Cavaliers trade J.J. Hickson to Kings for Omri Casspi CLEVELAND (AP) — Clearing out a logjam at power forward, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded J.J. Hickson on Thursday to the Sacramento Kings for forward Omri Casspi and a future first-round pick. Hickson’s days in Cleveland were numbered when the club drafted Texas forward Tristan Thompson with the No. 4 overall pick in last week’s NBA draft. Hickson has shown potential to be a star, but his on-court lapses frustrated Cavaliers coach Byron Scott last season. The 23-year-old Casspi averaged 8.6 points and 4.3 rebounds last season, his second in the NBA. The Cavaliers were in need of a small forward and Casspi will likely step right into Scott’s starting lineup. “We’re excited to add a young, talented, toughminded player like Omri, that we feel is a good fit for our team and can help improve our perimeter group, while also being able to obtain another important asset with the additional first-round draft pick,” Cavaliers general manager Chris Grant said in a statement. Casspi became the first Israeli ever to play in the NBA when he was drafted by Sacramento 23rd overall in 2009. The designation came with as much fanfare as it did pressure to succeed from a country that loves basketball. He started 27 games for the Kings, but his minutes were limited playing behind promising youngsters DeMarcus Cousins, Jason Thompson and Donte Green. The Cavaliers said the first-round pick they obtained is lottery protected in 2012 (Nos. 114). The pick is then protected in 2013 (1-13), 2014 (1-12) and 20152017 (1-10). If the pick is not conveyed by 2017, then Sacramento will convey its own 2017 second-round pick to the Cavaliers. In addition to Hickson and Thompson, the Cavaliers have power forwards Antawn Jamison and Samardo Samuels. Hickson averaged 13.8 points and 8.7 rebounds last season, but he had long stretches where he seemed to disappear. Scott was tough on Hickson, who did pick up his game toward the end of the season. “We’re very excited about the opportunity to acquire J.J. Hickson from the Cavaliers,” Kings GM Geoff Petrie said. “We believe he’ll continue to fortify our frontline going forward. He’s an improving young player who is just 22 years old. We believe J.J. will be an important complement to our frontcourt and overall roster as well.” E-mail us your sports news and photos! mdssports@mydailysentinel.com �Friday, July 1, 2011 POLICIES Ohio Valley Publishing reserves the right to edit, reject or cancel any ad at any time. ¾Errors Must Be Reported on the first day of publication and the TribuneSentinel-Register will be responsible for no more than the cost of the space occupied by the error and only the first insertion.
