REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM CHESTER — Meigs County Commissioners conducted their regular business meeting at the Chester Courthouse Thursday, to help promote the upcoming Ohio Chautaqua presentation on the Chester Commons. Sitting at a antique wooden “bench” desk, original to Ohio’s oldest standing courthouse, President Michael Bartrum called to order one of the only public meetings to be held in the brick building since the county seat moved to Pomeroy. The original courthouse cost $5,000 to build, and was abandoned when the county seat was moved to Pomeroy in the 1840’s. It has now been fully restored, and contains his- torical artifacts and resources. It is staffed by volunteers. Pat Holter and Mary Powell were among those attending Thursday’s meeting, and they updated commissioners on activities at the courthouse museum and the Chester Academy next door. They noted the Chester-Shade Historical Association continues to raise funds and make plans for improvements at the old court- See Courthouse, A2 BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM Mary Powell attended Thursdayʼs regular meeting of the Meigs County Commissioners, held at the Chester Courthouse.

In fact, Trust for America’s Health titled its eighth annual report “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2011.” The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation also participated in compiling the report which says Ohio’s obesity rate is 29.6 percent - 15 years ago Ohio had an obesity rate of 16.1 percent, nearly half of what it is now. Data for the Centers For Disease Control states in 2008, the percentage of adults who were obese in Meigs County was 29.9 percent and 29.3 percent in Gallia County.

A bell was recently added to the courthouse grounds. The courthouse museum will be open during the evening events on the commons next week, as Ohio Chautauqua presentations commence. Ohio Chautauqua’s 2011 theme is the Civil War. It is a five-day event that combines living history, music and entertainment, education, theater, and audience interaction in an exciting cultural event the entire community can enjoy. Each evening, musical entertainment kicks off the program under the tent followed by a different living history program where a performer/scholar becomes a figure from the past. The audience has an opportunity to ask questions of the character and to later meet with and ask questions of the actor. “It is a privilege and an honor to return to this courthouse to conduct today’s business,” Bartrum said. Businesses net millions moving within Ohio metros COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Relocations that netted smalland medium-sized businesses at least $39 million in property tax breaks to move around within the Cleveland and Cincinnati regions largely sent jobs from areas of poverty into more affluent communities, according to a study released Thursday. In "Paid to Sprawl: Subsidized Job Flight from Cleveland and Cincinnati," the Washington-based Good Jobs First nonprofit research center reviewed business relocations from 1995 to 2010 in the multi-county regions, finding data on 164 moves that involved an estimated 14,500 workers. Report authors say the findings show that state officials should consider regional tax-revenue sharing and encourage regional economic-development cooperation to prevent "poaching" of companies between nearby communities. Such moves often transfer job opportunities from cities and areas with high minority populations to less diverse areas and often to sites inaccessible by public transportation, they say. "The State of Ohio should use its enabling powers ... to encourage and reward the formation of strong regional systems that deter poaching and promote cooperation," the report says. "The meaningful unit of competition in economic development is a metro area, not a locality." Cuyahoga County Executive Ed FitzGerald said an antipoaching agreement has been proposed within the county, which includes Cleveland, to discourage fighting over companies without bringing any real growth in the economy. He hopes the idea takes off and expands elsewhere. "The problem is that the wealthiest communities, which tend to be the communities that have a certain geographic distance form a central city, those communities have more of an ability to give incentives," he said. Meigs County Forecast From Page A1 Ruth Ann Gardner, 54, Bidwell, passed away Tuesday, July 5, 2011 in Holzer Medical Center. A Memorial Service will be held 10:30 a.m., Saturday, July 9, 2011 in the McCoy-Moore Funeral Home, Wetherholt Chapel, Gallipolis. The family will receive friends after 9 a.m. until the time of the service. Condolences may be sent to www.mccoymoore.com As for why the Barnharts decided to take what began in their living room to the next level, Brenda admitted there seems to be a church on every corner in Meigs County but since at least five, young families who began attending Restoration Fellowship had been reached, she thought “why not?” Brenda said those five families were not attending church before finding their church home with Restoration and why not continue to reach out? Pete said as the congregation began to grow to around 40, he started asking around to other churches to see if Restoration could share space. He was told the Seventhday Adventist Church had closed because the membership was down to less than five. So, after contacting the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Mt. Vernon which owns the property, a lease agreement was met. Both the Barnharts said the organization in Mt. Vernon was pleased the building would continue to be open as a house of worship. Dwindling populations of more established churches have become an issue for local congregations and recently, the Pomeroy Church of Christ began sharing space with Oasis Christian Fellowship, another nondenominational, contemporary Christian church which was making its home at Meigs Middle School. One of Oasis’ pastors, Chad Dodson, said the services at the new/old church have been going well with nearly 80 parishioners showing up for Sunday services. The Barnharts said it is important to let young people have their say and take leadership roles in worship - this is another reason why Restoration Fellowship was founded, “to allow an avenue for God’s will to be done in a new generation,” according to Brenda. As for what Restoration stands for, it’s motto is “Restore, Rebuild and Reunite God with His people,” Brenda added. Pete said the new church will not rely on doctrines as life or death issues and hopes to care for people five days a week, not just on Sundays and this Sunday at 11 a.m. the church, which was built in the early 1960’s, will open its doors for the first time as a contemporary Christian church. The service will feature Gordon Randolph of Alfred who specializes in the ministry of healing. Though remodeling has been going on at the church for a few weeks now, Restoration Fellowship has incorporated some of the old with the new. For example, a drum riser has been placed over the baptismal though the floor still rises for baptisms if needed. “It’s a new era, a new season,” Brenda said.

(Submitted photo) along with the power of prayer is a "one, two" punch the task force hopes will bring real change in the war on drugs in our area. “We hope to see people turn out and enjoy themselves while learning,” Carrie Wolfe of the Prayer Task Force said, “We are really looking forward to it and this is just the beginning.” The Prayer Task Force has had several successful events on the Pomeroy parking lot. According to the group, decisions for Christ have been made along with seeing several go into rehab since the initiative started. The organization is planning an event on the Hill Stage during the Meigs County Fair. There are more events planned including a training on what drugs look like and what to look for later in the fall. The Prayer Task Force is seeking to see the drug problem defeated. “With God all things are possible, including seeing the drug problem change in our area. The drug problem may seem like a giant problem, but remember David defeated the giant with God's help. We can do this,” Wolfe said. Obesity From Page A1 age of adults who were obese was Lawrence County. Obviously, Meigs, Gallia and Lawrence counties are all in Southeast Ohio, a part of the state which struggles with socioeconomic issues and lack of adequate health care, among other factors. Andy Brumfield, a health educator with the Meigs County Health Department said some factors which contribute to obesity in Meigs are a tradition of high calorie diet, lack of financial resources (for some residents) to purchase healthier food items, lack of affordable, healthy food for some, lack of health care options and a lack of physical activity resources, although at least the latter is changing. Brumfield said new walking paths around the county have been developed which are provide physical activity resources which weren’t there even a few ago. “There’s walking paths at Portland, Eastern, Pomeroy, Star Mill Park, on New Lima Road near Rutland and we’re (the health department) working with Middleport to establish one there,” Brumfield explained. “There’s also the community fitness center in Racine (at Southern High School) and a fitness center at the Syracuse Community Center. The Meigs Local Enrichment Foundation also provides a running trail and playground with a rock climbing wall.” The report also states racial and ethnic minority adults and those with less education or who make less money, continue to have the highest overall obesity rates. According to the report, adult obesity rates were at 40.8 percent in Ohio for Blacks and 32.5 percent for Latinos. Meanwhile, the adult obesity rates for Whites topped 30 percent in just four states (Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and West Virginia). The rates of adult obesity for Whites in Ohio is 28.7 percent. The data also suggests 18.5 percent of children and adolescents in Ohio are considered obese. The top five states for adulthood obesity, according to the report, are 1. Mississippi, 2. Alabama, 3. West Virginia, 4. Tennessee, 5. Louisiana. Recommendations the report makes to policymakers include: Implementing the Healthy, Hunger-free Kids Act as well as the National Physical Activity Plan and restoring cuts to “vital programs” that improve nutrition in child care settings and for assistance programs like WIC.

THOMAS JOHNSON This past Monday night our youngest daughter was out and about, visiting with some friends and enjoying a fireworks display. Having just recently purchased a used car, she thought it was really cool to be able to drive herself there. Word has it that “being cool” isn’t always easy— or cheap! I don’t know this personally, as there has never been a time in my life when I was thought of in that context. Still, I do know that just “being” entails certain financial expenditures and bills on my part. Having insured and registered her car, plus putting gas in it and buying a new set of wheel covers for it, Melissa still is getting acquainted with the many various costs associated with owning a vehicle. Case in point: on her way home from Monday night’s excursion, a part of that car let loose and started making a loud noise. Not knowing the cause, she stopped to see what was making the racket. What was evident to her in the dark was the rather obvious something behind, but somehow still attached to, the car itself. That “thingy” hung on for the ride home. When I woke up the next morning my wife told me about our daughter’s experience. For those of you who may have guessed it was the muffler ... right on! I wonder how many people heard her?!? She told me she drove slowly once she saw what had happened—and I suspect she was somewhat scared she had broken something vital to the car’s overall functioning. Thomas Johnson Already, Melissa is starting to feel the inevitable “pinch” in her pocketbook—and the fact she’s now going to have to dig deeper is causing her pain. I sense her hoping from here on out the only expenses she’ll have are for gas and an occasional oil change. However, this car also came with four tires the previous owner didn’t keep inflated. My daughter, precious child: ... you’ve only just begun to feel the pain others of us know so well. Here’s hoping you’re not only hanging on, or hanging in, but are also persevering to such an extent you are moving ahead in your life, to bigger and better things. Barring that, I hope you are overcoming the lesser things of life. You may not be writing the definitive, allAmerican success story— but who ever said you had to, or were meant to?!? Get over it! LIVE—and enjoy the life you have. May it never be said of you that you ignored the everyday blessings and opportunities God sent your way. Count them, and you’ll be way too busy for any regrets or remorse! Remember the words of President John F. Kennedy? “Ask not what your Country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your Country.” Today, we can paraphrase J.F.K., and in the place of Country insert the word “Church.” While there are many Americans—and an everincreasing number of non-American citizens, too —making demands of the Government, churches are not impervious to this same “gimme” attitude. My brothers and sisters in Christ: this ought not to be! No one should ever come to any one worship service expecting more out of it than what they personally invest in it. As an elderly and respected gentleman once shared with me, “you only get out of something what you yourself put into it.” I respectfully submit that worship, when entered into with gratitude and humility, becomes a personal investment that pays huge dividends! We ought never to come to church with a sense of entitlement. If such ever is the case, let the “entitled one” experience an even greater sense of conviction and intense discomfort—for to presume upon the local church is to demand of God the exact same thing. Beware! No one being has any such right! Lucifer dared to imagine himself to be more deserving than he was created to be and, as the Bible points out, was cast out of Heaven on account of his pride and presumptuousness (Is. 14:12-15). Is there an issue dragging you down, some spiritual baggage you can’t seem to get rid of — but would very much like to? Ask Jesus to help you with it; He’s only a prayer away. Friday, July 8, 2011 The Silent Majority is Killing America BY CARRIE WOLFE “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an ordinary man faced with extraordinary circumstances. He was a pastor in Germany during the rise of Adolf Hitler to power. To briefly sum up this man's life is an injustice and I beg of every reader to research the life of Bonhoeffer. He was a radical pastor for his time, because he was sick of the religion of the church and proclaimed that believers should be like Christ and emulate Him. (Sorry to disappoint everyone out there who thought this was a new idea or a new issue with the church.) Bonhoeffer received a lot of criticism for his radical concept of being like Christ, but it did not phase him. He published books and taught the concept everywhere he could. He also could not be silent about what was happening in his country. An idealism had crept into every aspect of society. It was a concept that rationalized the killing of babies that were “less than perfect” and the selection of those segments of society that were deemed to be not as fit and worthy of life as others. It was the time in our history when evil paraded itself as never before. It was a time when good men either stood up or cowardly hid in the shadows. Bonhoeffer did not hide. He bravely spoke out time and again against the injustice all around him. He even participated in the plot to kill Hitler. He understood what was at stake. He worked to undermine the Nazi regime in every capacity that he could with every opportunity that he could. He could have come to America and spent all of Carrie Wolfe the war in complete safety here, but he choose to go back to Germany and make a stand. That stand eventually cost him his freedom. Even while he was in prison, he still spread the Word. Shortly before the Americans liberated the concentration camp Bonhoeffer was in, he was executed. He was stripped of his clothes and hung with a thin piece of wire. The doctor who was present to pronounce the martyred man dead described it so, “I saw Pastor Bonhoeffer ... kneeling on the floor praying fervently to God. I was most deeply moved by the way this lovable man prayed, so devout and so certain that God heard his prayer. At the place of execution, he again said a short prayer and then climbed the few steps to the gallows, brave and composed. His death ensued after a few seconds. In the almost fifty years that I worked as a doctor, I have hardly ever seen a man die so entirely submissive to the will of God.” Despite the cost, this man was not silent. This country has a disease and it's name is Silence. The silent majority is killing America. We keep silent so we do not offend. We keep silent so we do not “rock the boat”. Well my friends, the boat is sinking. Wake up and start doing something or go down with the ship! If the majority of believers in Christ would quit squabbling within and BE the body of Christ with even an ounce of unification, we could turn this county, this state, this country and even this world around! How do we do this? We begin. We begin by calling the police, social services, whoever, when we see a child is being neglected and abused. We do not just shake our heads at it. We do not just sit by and consider the needs of the parents. They are adults and choose. Children do not. Further more, that means to continually call to make sure it does not get “swept under the rug.” I am tired of the excuses. If you don't want your child, bring them to my door and I will take them. The measure of every society is in how it treats the young, aged and infirmed. Quite frankly, it really stinks in Meigs County. No excuses. Find a way and do the right thing or you are apart of the evil itself. It is one or the other. There is no gray when it comes to the eyes of a Just God. Same thing goes for the drug problem. Stop complaining and start calling. If our officials will not take the stand necessary to get the job done then by all that is Holy, the people of God need to STAND UP and vote the BUMS OUT!! Stop being apart of the problem and get on board with being a responsible Christian. Stop being silent in the face of evil in whatever form it confronts you with. Stop it! Start speaking out and stop being divided like a bunch of silly mindless chickens. Remember, you can not appease Hitler. You cannot appease evil. It will only be hungry for more of the righteous, more of the innocent, more freedoms, more. Maybe if we can start living like Bonhoeffer and others and seek action versus concession, we can live a life of Grace Out Loud!

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �FAITH & FAMILY A Hunger for More BY THOM MOLLOHAN Receiving a personal letter from an old friend is always a treat for me. And, of course, the closer the friendship, the greater the significance of the letter and the deeper its reach into my heart. Much of the delight is no doubt the offspring of the knowledge that someone special to me was thinking especially of me. And some of it comes perhaps from simply having an opportunity to reconnect with that old friend, celebrating our companionship and the building of memories in former days, not to mention the sharing of our victories and disappointments in the present, as well as our hopes and fears for the future. If such earthly letters can bring pause to a human heart, injecting into it much needed joy and encouragement, then how much more can a man or woman of God find an abundance of delight in the love letters of the Lord? His Scriptures wonderfully declare the affection that God has for you and for me, clearly and passionately unveiling His tenderness, love, and jealousy for His people’s hearts. And if our sometimes small and careless exchanges of affection are nothing more than “sweet nothings”, the Words of God are “sweet everythings”, recording for us His love and faithfulness through what He gave up just so that we can be with Him forever. “Do not let your hearts be troubled,” said Jesus to His disciples. “Trust in God, trust also in Me. In My Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you also may be where I am” (John 14:1-3 NIV). I thank God for the “letters” that He sends to me everyday as we visit each other in the reading of His Word. I thank Him also for the “letters” that He sends out into the world, appealing to those Thom Mollohan who have not yet given to Him their hearts. Christians (men, women, and children who have turned from sin and self and through faith in Him have received Jesus) become such “letters” as they choose to give God room to lead them. They truly become “handwritten notes”, signed with the signature of God Himself as He reveals His goodness through them. “…You are a letter from Christ…, written not with ink but the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts” (2 Corinthians 3:3 NIV). Just think! Through your life, God Himself can send messages of love, affirmation, hope, and peace. His promises from His Word can reach the people of the world as you permit yourself to be led and shaped by them! The best sermon that anyone could preach then is not merely spoken by the mouth but is articulated through everyday living. The little choices that we make, the little attitudes that we adopt or tolerate within ourselves, and the little deeds that we do to give God glory, all suddenly have a great deal of power and importance and aid us in those things that we don’t consider “little” but deem as significant or meaningful. They tell the story of how God is so important to us that we would desire for Him to exert His lordship over ALL facets of our lives. In the same way, the best articles that are written are not written with pen from ink but in our learning to deny self and to instead identify with Christ as we make our number one priority the exaltation of Jesus in all that we say, all that we do, and all that we are. The page of every day of our lives has the potential for telling anew the good news that only can be found in the incredible and beautiful story of Jesus’ love, His death and resurrection being the only answer to life’s problems and the world’s woes. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into His likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, Who is the Spirit. Therefore, since through God’s mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart…. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, Who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 3:17-18, 14:1, 4-6 NIV). What story does your life tell? What kind of “love letter” from the Lord is your character, your courage, and your compassion? Will you choose to respond to God’s love with trusting obedience and compassion towards those who have never personally entered into His loving mercy? How will the love of God affect how you live your life this day? May it be a day of new beginnings as you seek to decrease that He may increase through you (see John 3:30). (Thom Mollohan and his family have ministered in southern Ohio the past 16 years and is the author of The Fairy Tale Parables. He is the pastor of Pathway Community Church and may be reached for comments or questions by email at pastorthom@pathwaygallipolis.com). Faith is the ability to see God in the dark Have you ever felt that God isn't with you? That when life became tough and darkened God abandoned you? Such a feeling is common to many Christians. However, you must not rely on feelings; instead, you must rely on faith, knowing that God is always there—you just may not always be able to see him in your circumstances. That's why faith is so important. Hebrews 11:1 defines faith as being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. For example, if a family member dies, you may understandably question whether or not God could possibly be with you during such difficult times. However, by faith, you can be certain of what [you] do not see—certain that God was there watching over the whole situation. Romans 4:19-21 describes how Abraham had faith even though it looked like God could never do what he said he would: Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead. Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised. In his dark circumstances, Abraham could still see God—he had faith. That's the same type of faith to which God is calling you. For the one who stores treasures on Earth, death is loss, but for the one who stores treasures in Heaven, death becomes gain. In his longest sermon, known as the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says this: "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal" (Matthew 6:19-20). Jesus commands us not to store up earthly treasures. Why? Because they're bad? No. Because they won't last! Jesus makes absolutely clear that all earthly treasures will not last. Either they will leave you while you live, or you will leave them when you die. There are no exceptions. Jesus tells us not to store up earthly treasures, but amazingly he instead says that we can—indeed, should— store up for ourselves treasures in heaven. It's an amazing concept that we can use our earthly (temporary) treasures in such a way as to assure ourselves heavenly (eternal) treasures. courtesy of Christnotes Page A5 Friday, July 8, 2011 Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done… Part 2 Last time we talked about verse 10 of Matthew 6 where we find Jesus teaching us to pray: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is done in heaven” and how this statement relates to our heavenly Father in relationship to His children. The question that we need to deal with today is what does it mean for God’s kingdom to come? This statement made by Jesus implies God’s rulership or reign to come to earth, including our own private lives. This type of boldness in prayer calls for a radical and total submission, a total surrender, and the implementation of God’s total power and authority. In other words, in order to have the King’s ways and rulership rule our country, communities, churches, lives, etc, we must have an attitude of submission. Submitting to God’s authority is an act of obedience and acknowledgement that He is God and we’re not. Also, to surrender is basically to surrender our lives, plans, ideas, dreams, etc, to His, simply because Father knows best. To many, this concept of submission and surrendering is a tough decision to make because it seems to demonstrate weakness. The only reason this attitude denotes weakness is because God’s jurisdictional lead- Alex Colon ership is not understood, neither are His ways, authority and power are known. Furthermore, if we would only understand our position in Christ and who we are in Him, we would be quick to submit to His rulership in our lives. It only benefits us in a big way. One time Jesus was walking along when a Centurion (a Roman soldier in charge) came to Jesus to ask for His assistance in healing his servant – another soldier. However, this request was unethical for this man to do. To ask a Jew for medical assistance for a Roman soldier outside of Rome’s jurisdiction was a sign of weakness. Yet, this soldier recognized that Jesus had a power and authority that the entire Roman kingdom did not have, therefore, this Centurion decided to summit to Jesus’ authority and power as well as surrendered his rights and power to Jesus’. Jesus then said: (paraphrased) “Sure Mr. Centurion, let’s go lay hands on your servant that he may be healed.” The Centurion then said: “No Sir, you don’t understand. I am a man of authority and a man under authority. I understand how the power of a spoken command works. You don’t have to come in order to heal my soldier, all you have to do is speak the word, give your command and I know that my servant will be healed.” (Paraphrased – and very accurate). Jesus was then amazed because He had not seen such faith in all of Israel. Not even His disciples had demonstrated such faith. Imagine that! A kingdom man submitted his authority and power to another kingdom man (Jesus) and as a result he received his miracle. It is important to realize that the Kingdom of God extends as far as the authority of God is accepted. God is simply looking for willing vessels to recognize and believe in His authority and power and ask Him humbly yet boldly to bring such governmental system to earth and to our lives. You see, faith is required and a miracle is experienced when we submit to God’s rulership and jurisdictional order when we ask for His kingdom to come. To countermand Christian collapses, God gives a plan BY PASTOR RON BRANCH You would think that Christians who find the spiritual relief, joy, and peace of God’s free gift of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ would never have occasion to collapse spiritually in their Christian experience. Unfortunately, it happens all too often in varieties of ways. The writer of the Book of Hebrews was all too aware of the potential for Christians to collapse. He cited proofs that Jesus Christ was worthy to be followed from the beginning to the end of our Christian walk. He kept saying “do not waver in your profession of faith,” and “you have need for patience, which has great recompense of reward.” With spiritual burden and intensity, he said that Christians should “make their paths strait lest we get turned out of the way.” It is certain that not all associated with the church are concerned that at any point they might collapse morally or spiritually in their Christian walk through life. However, the true saints of the only true and living God remain very concerned that they might at some point fail to live out a consistent testimony for the Savior. Some even say they are afraid that they can not live it. But, they can. The writer of Hebrews cites for Christians a plan given by God that countermands Christian collapses. Look at what we can do to keep from collapsing. First, it matters that we keep our spiritual scopes fine-tuned. Keep a sharp Ron Branch eye on those who are consistently and victoriously living the Christian life. Remember those of the past who did the same. In either case, find encouragement to keep from collapsing from the “cloud of witnesses” — those spiritual role models — who have compassed or touched our lives. Realize that if they could stay faithful and steady in the Christian walk so can we. The successful saints give us hope. Second, take care of sin issues that so easily put a drag on the Christian life. No one can live the Christian life patiently and productively if you are willing to tote a load of sin on the shoulders of your heart and mind. Those who like their particular sin(s) so much to the point they are unwilling to be honest with God will undoubtedly collapse. The countermanding plan is to “lay aside” sin through repentance toward and confession to God. It makes a big-time difference in staying steady for the long-haul. Third, be teachable during times in which God purposes to teach something we need to learn in life areas that can make us stronger as Christians. The writer of Hebrews drew attention to the person that had a “root of bitterness,” which serves as a biting indicator about some. Such a person is one who professes to be a part of God’s kingdom and covenant through faith in Jesus Christ, but is too proud to acknowledge the value of spiritual heritage and growth in the grace and knowledge of the same. If you are not teachable, you will fall flat on your face, and that possibly without remedy, suggests the writer. A fourth part of the plan that prevents spiritual collapsing comes from a terse statement by the writer, who declared emphatically, “See that you do not refuse to listen to God.” In practical terms, how is it that we can listen to God? Quite simply, it involves obedience to the proven principles God has set forth in the Bible. God’s principles are for our good. God’s principles keep us from collapsing during times of crisis. These undergird us when the struggles of life tend to discourage us. These keep us strong when we become emotionally and spiritually weak. Pay close attention to what God has said. I was umpiring a baseball game recently when one of the outfielders collapsed. He could not finish the game. In my mind it becomes a biting comparison to Christians who collapse spiritually and do not finish well the Christian faith. The plan, however, to prevent collapses is simple and workable. See to it constantly. �Page A6 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, July 8, 2011 Chester Shade Days July 16th Chester, Ohio July 12th - 16th, 2011 8 AM 10 AM 10:30 AM 11 AM 11:30 AM 11 AM - Breakfast in Academy (Served by Mercy Mission Church) Flag Raising by VFW Civil War Workshop Youth Chautauqua-Courthouse Pie Judging Contest Prizes: 1st- $25, 2nd- $15, 3rd- $10 Kid’s Corn Hole & Other Kids Games – Prizes Volunteer Firemen, Firehouse Fish Fry Hot Dogs, Ice Cream, Racine Band Boosters Concession, CSHA Chicken Noodles Pet Judging Contest – Prizes: Ribbons Meigs County’s Finest – Oldest Woman & Oldest Man Adults Corn Hole ($5 Entry Fee, All Money Paid Back in Prizes) 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Places - On the Common Civil War Adult Workshop Chautauqua-Courthouse Civil War Ladies Tea with Miz Rosebud Pie Auction on the Commons State Harmonica Contest on the Commons Followed by Harmonica Jam Session on the Commons Civil War Speaker on stage – Abe Lincoln Civil War Ball (with Miz Rosebud) 11:30 AM 11:45 AM 1 PM 1:30 PM 2:30 PM 4 PM 5 PM 6:15-6:50 PM 7 PM 8 PM - Gospel Music Saturday Under the Big Tent on Chester Commons Evening Entertainment: Tues. 6:15 p.m. Wed. 6:15 p.m. Thur. 6:15 p.m. Fri. 6:15 p.m. Sat. 5:00 p.m. Sat. 6:15 p.m. Negro Spirituals–Traditional African American Spirituals Barbershop Quartets Civil War Dance Demo Melodrama Harmonica State Championship Contest Harmonica Music Youth Workshops at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, July 12 Wednesday, July 13 Thursday, July 14 Friday, July 15 Saturday, July 16 Richard Johnson - Pomeroy Library Debra Conner - Pomeroy Library Diane Moran - Pomeroy Library leen Evans - Syracuse Community Center, Syracuse James Armstead - Chester Courthouse Adult Workshops at 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 12 Wednesday, July 13 Thursday, July 14 Friday, July 15 Saturday, July 16 Dianne Moran - Pomeroy Library lleen Evans - Pomeroy Library Richard Johnson - Pomeroy Library James Armstead - Riverbend Arts Council, Middleport Debra Conner - Chester Courthouse Living History Presentations Tues thru Sat at 7:00 p.m. on the Chester Commons, Chester, Ohio under the Big Red and White Tent Go to www.chestercourthouse.com 1-877-MEIGS-CO • 740-985-9822 Foreman & Abbott Heating and Cooling McDonald’s 423 W.

Amateur after Day 2 Class A Dayton packs ‘em in at record rate DAYTON, Ohio (AP) — Don Campbell has attended 600 Dayton Dragons games, cheering on the Class A team from a front-row seat next to the home dugout. He knows what to expect. Friendly ushers and ballpark staff. Amusing fan contests during the 90 seconds between innings. A chance to see some of the Cincinnati Reds’ upand-coming players learn their craft. Then, after the last out, he’ll encounter the team’s executives waiting at the gate. “When you leave the game, they’re out there greeting people and thanking you for coming,” said Campbell, a 62-year-old retiree. They keep coming back to Fifth Third Field — in record numbers. The Dragons will sell out their 815th consecutive home game on Saturday, setting a record for a professional team in North America, according to the team’s research. With their 7,230 seats filled and hundreds more fans reclining on a grassy hill beyond the outfield wall, they’ll pass the Portland Trail Blazers’ mark from 1977-95. “I know it will be a source of pride,” team President Robert Murphy said. “It’s no secret that things in and around the Dayton region have been difficult the last couple of years. It’s also a city of perseverance. People love this community. This is something they’re proud of.” It wasn’t always that way. The southwest Ohio city had mixed feelings about building a ballpark in a run-down area downtown. Only 57 miles from the Reds’ ballpark, there were questions about how a team would fare. It’s turned into an unprecedented success, built on an old-fashioned business model that works very well for the Dragons: Being passionate about people. Since sharing a cab ride to scout out the downtown site in 1998, Murphy and Executive Vice President Eric Deutsch have banked on fan friendliness, employee loyalty and marketing creativity. The formula works — Dayton led not only all Class A leagues in attendance last season, but all of Double-A as well. They do it by making fans feel they’re the stars. The club puts a lot of money and effort into keeping fans happy — what businesses refer to as customer service. Season tickets arrived in team collectibles. Ticket holders get red-carpet treatment. The ballpark staff makes sure fans feel appreciated. Need anything? Just ask. The Dragons don’t mind spending money to show their appreciation. When the Quad Cities River Bandits’ ballpark in Iowa got flooded in 2001 and 2004, the Dragons paid them to move their four-game Please see Dayton, B2 WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Christian Brand has always been considered to have the talent to be a contender in the West Virginia Amateur. Now he shares a perch at the top for the first time. The Charleston golfer shot the low round of the tournament, a 3-underpar 67 Wednesday, to pull into a tie with Hurricane’s Sam O’Dell for the lead midway through the tournament at The Greenbrier resort. O’Dell, the co-leader after the first round, shot 1-under Wednesday. Both were at 2-under through two rounds, seven shots ahead of their nearest competitors. The former Marshall golfers will look to put more distance on the field Thursday when the tournament returns to the Meadows Course. Brand’s best finish in the tournament was third place last year at 2 under. O’Dell finished third in 2002 when he was 15 shots behind Pat Carter. “Coming off a good round, I’ll try to stay with the same rhythm and focus and it should turn out good,” Brand said. “I learned early you just have to play your game and you can’t be affected by anybody else out there on the course.” Both Brand and O’Dell had to overcome shaky starts on the Greenbrier course, which used to be a hitter’s paradise but two of the par 5s have been shortened to par 4s for the tournament. Brand was heading in the wrong direction after hitting his tee shot out of bounds left on the par-4 second hole, which is lined by a lake on the right side. His third shot from the tee landed in almost the same spot. He punched his fourth shot over the green and twoputted for triple bogey, putting him at 4 over for the tournament. “You could see steam coming out of my ears,” Brand said. “I told myself when I was standing on the third tee, it’s a par 5 and I knew I had 16 more opportunities for birdie to bring my round back to life. I told myself I’d take advantage of each one I’d get.” Sure enough, he rebounded with three birdies on the next four holes and finished with six birdies on his round. O’Dell made double bogey on the second hole before a steady improvement followed with four birdies and just one bogey the rest of the day for his second straight 69. Far back in a tie for third place were Fairmont’s Jess Ferrell and Oak Hill’s Nathaniel Begley at 5 over Ferrell, who finished third in the state high school tournament in 2009 while competing for East Fairmont High, has shown a remarkable improvement after missing the cut at last year’s state Amateur. Ferrell shot 71 in the second round after a 74 Tuesday. The news was so-so for Begley, who shared the first-round lead with O’Dell but shot 76 Wednesday. Begley made back-toback birdies to move to 3 under for the tournament before the bottom fell out. He had three bogeys and a quadruple bogey in a five-hole stretch. Pineville’s Evan Muscari was in fifth place at 7 over and former champions Steve Fox and Pat Carter were among a group of four golfers tied at 8 over. Only one other golfer besides Brand and O’Dell broke par Wednesday: Hurricane’s Brian Anania shot 69 to move him into a group of five golfers tied at 9 over. Those who shot 14 over or worse failed to advance to the final two rounds. Among those who missed the cut were 2007 champion Anthony Reale. Reds outlast Cardinals 9-8 in 13 innings Drivers warned to avoid I-71 ahead of weekend NASCAR race ST. LOUIS (AP) — The Cincinnati Reds avoided a lot more than just your garden variety three-game sweep. Bronson Arroyo and the bullpen squandered an eight-run, fifth-inning lead. The offense stalled, too, before finally outlasting the St. Louis Cardinals 9-8 in 13 innings Wednesday night. Pinch-hitter Ramon Hernandez, the last regular on the bench, doubled in the go-ahead run. Chris Heisey, Jay Bruce, Fred Lewis and Scott Rolen homered for the Reds, who led 8-0 in the fifth but managed only three hits over the next seven innings. Manager Dusty Baker looked drained after a game that lasted 4 hours, 11 minutes, the Cardinals’ longest of the season. “I don’t sound happy because I’m just tired,” Baker said. “That was a two-game game. We couldn’t go five (games) back.” Bruce drew a leadoff walk and Drew Stubbs singled with one out ahead of the hit by Hernandez off Raul Valdes (0-1). “I was just looking for something to hit, period,” Hernandez said. “I was trying to get something good on the bat. As long as you hit the ball, you’ve got a chance that something happens.” Matt Holliday homered for the third time in two games and Albert Pujols had an RBI single Chris Lee/St. Louis Post-Dispatch/MCT Cincinnati Reds third baseman Scott Rolen, left, collides with St. Louis Cardinals' Colby Rasmus as he turns for an errant throw from center fielder Chris Heisey in the seventh inning at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, Missouri, on Wednesday. Rasmus went on to score on the play. in a five-run seventh for the Cardinals. Pujols was 1 for 6 in his first game since returning a month ahead of the timetable from a broken left wrist and was impressed by the comeback. “That was awesome, man,” Pujols said. “For us to be the winning team you’re going to have to do things like that. We’re not going to give up.” Jon Jay homered in the ninth off Francisco Cordero to force extra innings, only the third blown save in 20 Jeter within 3 hits of 3,000 as the Yankees return home CLEVELAND (AP) — He’ll be back in Bronx, in his ballpark, the place where he’s thrilled fans from almost the first day he donned Yankee blue. Derek Jeter’s headed home — to swing for history. New York’s captain picked up his 2,997th career hit Thursday night, hitting a double to right in his final at-bat to move within three of 3,000. But the Yankees couldn’t figure out Cleveland starter Justin Masterson’s nasty stuff during a 5-3 loss to the Indians. Jeter’s next at-bats will be in Yankee Stadium, where fans are certain to cheer his every move. “I’m looking forward to it,” Jeter said. “I wish I would have gotten more today, but it wasn’t the case. I’m definitely looking forward to going back to New York.” The Yankees were blanked for eight innings by Masterson (7-6) before scoring three runs in the ninth to make things interesting. But closer Chris Perez came on and ended the rally, striking out Brett Gardner for the final out as Jeter stood near home plate, resting his bat on his shoulder. He was on deck — just as he is for 3,000 hits. Jeter, who had to talk Yankees manager Joe Girardi into letting him play his third straight game since returning from a calf injury, went 1 for 3 and also drew a walk from Masterson, who was backed up by two sensational plays from All-Star shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera in the eighth. Jeter’s bid to become the 28th major leaguer — and first purebred pinstriper — to reach 3,000 will resume Thursday night against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium, his professional home since 1995. The famed ballparks, both the new and old versions, have never hosted any player getting his 3,000th hit. Jeter would be the first, perhaps fitting for the only player to reach the milestone having spent his entire career as a Please see Jeter, B2 chances for the Reds closer.

(AP) — With the largest crowd ever expected to converge this weekend on Kentucky Speedway for a long-anticipated Sprint Cup race, motorists should expect long delays along Interstate 71 in northern Kentucky, state police said. More than 100,000 race fans are expected at the track in Sparta, and commuters and other travelers are being advised to choose alternate routes through the weekend. The event culminates Saturday with the inaugural Quaker 400 Sprint Cup race. State police spokesman Michael Webb of the Campbellsburg post advised that one good alternate route would be U.S. 42. “I would avoid I-71, if at all possible,” Webb said in The CourierJournal on Thursday, adding if motorists must use the interstate they should leave early and expect delays. “It’s never had such a magnitude as a Sprint Cup race,” Webb said about past events at Kentucky Speedway. He said that past events that attracted tens of thousands to the track will likely “pale in comparison.” To help speed travel, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet last week halted con- Please see Reds, B2 Please see Race, B2 MLB All-Time Hit Leaders Player Pete Rose Ty Cobb Hank Aaron Stan Musial Tris Speaker Carl Yastrzemski Cap Anson Honus Wagner Paul Molitor Eddie Collins Willie Mays Eddie Murray Nap Lajoie Cal Ripken, Jr. George Brett Paul Waner Robin Yount Tony Gwynn Dave Winfield Craig Biggio Rickey Henderson Rod Carew Lou Brock Rafael Palmeiro Wade Boggs Al Kaline Roberto Clemente Derek Jeter Total 4,256 4,191 3,771 3,630 3,514 3,419 3,418 3,415 3,319 3,315 3,283 3,255 3,242 3,184 3,154 3,152 3,142 3,141 3,110 3,060 3,055 3,053 3,023 3,020 3,010 3,007 3,000 2,997* Years 1963-1986 1905-1928 1954-1976 1941-1963 1907-1928 1961-1983 1871-1897 1897-1917 1978-1998 1906-1930 1951-1973 1977-1997 1896-1916 1981-2001 1973-1993 1926-1945 1974-1993 1982-2001 1973-1995 1988-2007 1979-2003 1967-1985 1961-1979 1986-2005 1982-1999 1953-1974 1955-1972 1995-present *As of July 6, 2011 �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel Race from Page B1 struction on projects along I-71, said Chuck Wolfe, a spokesman for the agency. Most of the work was for pavement repairs, but all lanes should be open this weekend, he said. Construction will resume July 10. I-71 changes to three Jeter from Page B1 member of the Yankees. Ruth, Gehrig, Mantle, DiMaggio and Berra didn’t get nearly as close as Jeter, the team’s career hits leader and one of the most popular players in history. And now, he’s just three solid swings from standing alone among the Yankees’ legion of Hall of Fame sluggers. Jeter said earlier this week that his journey to 3,000 has been tough because of the injury and the negative comments directed at him because he’s not played up to his lofty standards. However, Jeter left Cleveland eager to celebrate a moment that at times only seemed to get farther away. “Our fans have always been pretty good when they have an opportunity to witness something that hasn’t happened,” Jeter said. “They care a lot about the history of this organization, so I anticipate them being pretty animated. I don’t know, but I would think it would be kind of fun.” Girardi and Jeter’s teammates would love to Dayton from Page B1 series to Dayton. Then, they let their fans in for free. “Instead of charging fans for it — you figure four new games with a full house is a pretty good chunk of revenue — we gave them to our season ticket holders as a thank you,” Deutsch said. “We did that twice and it was received very, very well.” Ticket prices range from $9.75 to $13.75. There are three season ticket packages — 17 games, 35 games, 70 games. The cheapest package is $331.50 for two tickets to each of 17 games. The most expensive is $3,850 for four top-priced seats at every game. The Dragons sold 5,700 season ticket packages for this season, involving 16,000 fans. The 17-game package is the most popular. Roughly 94 percent of their season ticket holders renew each year, so there’s a waiting list. The Dragons also hold family picnics and other events for employees, emphasizing their importance. There’s a front office staff of 34 and a pool of 250 game-day employees — 110 needed per game. Roughly 90 percent have been with the Dragons since their inaugural season in 2000. Once they fill the ballpark, they do their best to entertain. The Dragons fill the 90-second gaps between half-innings with competitions — marshmallow tossing, toddler racing. Every presentation is rehearsed pregame to make sure there are no slips. The club has a “Home Run For Life” program that honors children persevering through medical problems. At a game last week against the Lansing Lugnuts, 7-year-old Garrett LeMaster — a diabetic — ran the bases www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, July 8, 2011 lanes near the Gallatin County race track, but the northbound lanes approaching the track have a shorter stretch of widened highway compared with the southbound lanes heading from northern Kentucky, Webb said. Troopers from every post around the state, along with other lawenforcement agencies, are being brought in to help with traffic flow and control. Webb pointed out that there are two exits — 55 and 57 — from the interstate that lead to the track, which may cause some congestion, but overall “the Speedway has done a tremendous job in creating more roads and access,” for such a limited area, he said. The Speedway worked for more than six months to create a traffic plan for this week, said Mark Simendinger, Speedway general manager. The track is the first addition to the Cup schedule since Chicago and Kansas in 2001. The 400-mile Sprint cup race, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EDT Saturday, will conclude a tripleheader NASCAR weekend that opens with a 225-mile Camping World Truck Series race Thursday and spotlights a 300-mile NASCAR Nationwide Series event Saturday. see him hit the record books during the fourgame series against the Rays. “As you get closer to 3,000 — no matter where you are — you’re probably a little more anxious to get it done,” Girardi said. “He’s three hits away. Let’s just hope he gets all three tomorrow.” Rookie Lonnie Chisenhall hit his first career homer for Cleveland, which took two of three from the AL East leaders. The Central-leading Indians scored two runs in the first off starter Phil Hughes (0-2), who came off the disabled list to make his first start since April when he was sidelined with shoulder inflammation. Masterson allowed three hits, struck out six, walked two and got just his second win since April 26. New York’s left-handed hitters went 0 for 19 against him. Hitless in his first three appearances, Jeter doubled — his second extrabase hit of the series — with one out in the eighth. He went to third on a sharp grounder that Cabrera ran down on the first-base side of second, spun and threw out the speedy Curtis Granderson. Cabrera, who almost didn’t play because of a sprained right ankle, wasn’t done. With the Indians shifting right for left-hander Mark Teixeira, Cabrera ranged into short right field before making a sliding stop of a hard-hit grounder. He popped to his feet and threw out Teixeira, punctuating his second defensive gem in minutes by pumping his fist. Cabrera has been a human highlight reel all season. “Nothing he does surprises me,” Masterson said. “It never gets old.” Jeter came in 5 for 12 in his career against Masterson, but went 0 for 2 with a strikeout and walk before his 479th career double, a Jeteresque shot on an insideout swing to right field. “It seems like his ball moves as much as anyone we’ve seen,” Jeter said of Masterson. “He’s throwing 95, 96 all night with a lot of movement. He pitched outstanding.” Jeter had to talk his way into staying in Girardi’s lineup so as not to interrupt his chase of 3,000. Following Tuesday night’s game, Girardi was leaning toward sitting his captain, thinking a day of rest would be wise. However, Jeter changed his manager’s mind. Girardi said his talk with Jeter and a night to sleep on his decision gave him a greater appreciation for the player’s twisted journey to 3,000. “He wants to get this done with so he can go on and be Derek Jeter, not Derek Jeter pursuing 3,000 hits,” Girardi said. “That’s the sense I got from him. If I was going for 3,000 hits, I don’t know if I would want a day to think about. I would want to get back out there. “I really did sleep on it. And, no, I didn’t dream about it.” There shouldn’t be any doubt about Jeter playing the next few days in New York, where fans have been critical of his game over the past two years. He said he would like to reach the 3,000 plateau at home, and he’ll have four games to get there before the All-Star break. “There will be a lot of flash bulbs going off, I’m sure,” Girardi said. “I think it’s going to be great. People have anticipated this for a while, the countdown had started, so people are pretty excited — I know we are in the dugout — for him to get it done.” after the third inning, slapping hands with players lined up along the foul lines as he went. It’s not a typical minor league environment. “It’s just fun,” said Cleveland Indians outfielder Austin Kearns, a former Red who was on the inaugural Dayton team in 2000. “There’s stuff going on. There’s not a bad seat in the house. “That place is awesome. That atmosphere in A-ball is something you don’t find anywhere. It’s close to (the majors). It’s pretty awesome for 18-, 19-year-old kids to get a chance to play in front of that crowd. We had played the season before in Rockford, and you’d have 50 people in the stands and 20 of them were probably family members.” One of the Dragons’ biggest challenges was maintaining the streak when the economy tanked. Dayton lost thousands of auto-related jobs, and NCR Corp. — one of its icons for 125 years — announced in 2009 that it was moving its headquarters to Atlanta. While other companies cut back to cope with the downturn, the Dragons took a different approach. “Just because times get tough, we’re not going to skimp on what we’re doing or how we’re doing it,” Murphy said. The Dragons worked with season ticket holders who were feeling the crunch. In 2008, they started offering payment plans spread out over months. “They said that was great, it really helped,” Deutsch said. “And we had our highest renewal rate ever.” The Dragons pack them in without bigname players or much success on the field. They’ve had losing records in seven of the last eight seasons. Despite the limitations, the streak went on, closing in on an NBA team’s mark. “We don’t have Michael Jordan,” Murphy said. “We don’t have visiting teams like the Yankees or the Lakers. We haven’t sniffed winning in any significant way. Given what we control and the length of time (for the streak), that in and of itself is a challenge.” It’s likely to go on for some time. Fans like 64year-old Marty Orr have taken the streak to heart. “This is the best thing that ever came to Dayton,” Orr said. COUPON $5.00 Gift Card with new or transferred prescriptions.

You can’t ask anymore than that.” Jose Arredondo (1-3) allowed two hits and struck out two in two innings for the Reds, who had lost four of five. Aroldis Chapman allowed a hit before finishing for his first career save and hit 100 mph on the scoreboard radar on a called third strike to Jay that ended it. Heisey hit his second career leadoff home run to spark a reconfigured lineup that produced five runs in the first 12 pitches against Jake Westbrook, who barely made it out of the first one start after throwing seven shutout innings against Tampa Bay. Westbrook was charged with seven runs in 4 1-3 innings. “I put us in a huge hole the first five hitters of the game,” Westbrook said. “I kind of told myself after that first inning to kind of try to be my own long guy and try to get as deep as I can and not give up any more.” Arroyo faced the minimum through five innings, allowing only Descalso’s borderline infield single in the third before fading. Descalso barely beat the pitcher to the bag after first baseman Joey Votto’s high, looping throw, and official scorer Gary Mueller upheld the call not long before Tony Cruz doubled to open the sixth for St. Louis’ second hit. “Why would anyone want to talk to me?” Arroyo joked. “It was yesterday that I pitched, wasn’t it?” Why Not MOW with the BEST MADE IN THE USA?
