FRIDAY, JULY 15, 2011 www.mydailysentinel.com AEP puts carbon capture project on hold at Mountaineer CEO Morris cites poor ‘economic and policy climate conditions’ BY STEPHANIE FILSON MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM NEW HAVEN, W.Va. — Just weeks after announcing its plans to retire several coal-fueled power plants across the region including New Haven’s Phillip Sporn plant, American Electric Power (AEP) said Thursday it was putting a hold on its plans for a commercial-scale carbon dioxide capture and storage project in West Virginia because of uncertainty surrounding U.S. climate policy and what the company described as a weak economy. Michael G. Morris, AEP’s chairman and chief executive said continuing to build the system at the utility’s coal-fired Mountaineer power plant in New Haven, W.Va., no longer makes economic sense. “We are placing the project on hold until economic and policy conditions create a viable path forward,” Morris said in a statement. When the AEP project was conceived, it appeared as though national policymakers would soon limit the amount of carbon dioxide power companies could emit. That would have made a carbon capture system valuable — and perhaps necessary for AEP. Coal-fired plants account for two-thirds of the company’s generating capacity. Coal produces twice the carbon dioxide as natural gas, while nuclear power generation produces no carbon dioxide. Congressional efforts to limit or tax carbon dioxide failed last summer, however, and the issue is not currently being discussed, according to Pat Hemlepp, Director of AEP Corporate Communications. Hemlepp said that Mountaineer’s carbon dioxide capture and storage system, planned for large-scale implementation and operation by 2015, is hindered by the lack of distinct federal cli- mate regulations because, without them, regulators are unlikely to approve cost recovery measures. “While this project is important, even vital, it is all but impossible to get our regulators to agree to cost recovery without specific federal requirements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Hemlepp. Had the system not been shelved, it would have captured about 1.5 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emitted from the plant each year and stored it about 1.5 miles below the surface, according to an AEP press release. Carbon-dioxide regulation may still be coming, however. A 2007 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court gave EPA the authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act. The EPA is expected to propose greenhouse gas rules this year. AEP said it was terminating its cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy, which chose AEP two years ago to receive up to $334 million in funding to cover part of the costs of the project. A first phase, involving front-end engineering and design and the development of an environmental impact statement, would be completed See AEP, A2 4-H champs named in food judging BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – Grand and reserve champions in foods were selected in 4-H project judging this week at the Meigs County Extension office.

(Charlene Hoeflich photos) Coming soon: new banners for downtown Pomeroy BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – New banners being purchased by the Pomeroy Merchants Association to be installed on the 28 period lamp posts which line Main Street and several side streets in downtown Pomeroy will arrive in about a week. That announcement came from Chairman Susan Clark-Dingess at this week’s meeting of the Merchants Association. She noted that one set of the banners will feature a large “P” for Pomeroy while the other set will be with three different designs – women shopping, something musical, and diners to be selectively placed around town. As for the colors, Clark-Dingess said they’ll be “bright multi-colors.” Cost of the banners to be paid by the Merchants Association with money collected in dues and through money accumulated from fund raisers held throughout the year is $62 each for the designed ones, and $30 each for the banners with the “P.” Discussed at the meeting was one of the group’s largest fund raisers, the duck derby held annually in conjunction with the Sternwheel Festival. Dan Short, project chairman, noted that tick- ets are now on sale. The grand prize will be a four-wheel vehicle, currently on display at Mark Porter’s car dealership. It will be moved to the parking lot for the Big Bend Blues Bash on July 28-30 and tickets will be for sale there. in addition to the four-wheeler to be awarded to the owner of the numbered duck which crosses the finish line first, there will be numerous other prizes awarded. Beginning on Aug. 22 and leading up to derby day, there will be weekly drawings for special prizes provided by local merchants and businesses. Derby tickets are $10 each and can be purchase at Ohio Valley Bank, Farmers Bank, and Peoples Bank along with several stores in downtown Pomeroy. The Association voted to proceed with another holiday home tour this year. Edna Weber and ClarkDingess will again be in charge of the event which will take place on the first Sunday in December. Those interested in putting their home on the tour is asked to contact one of the co-chairmen. A discussion was held on hiring a bus to transport people from house to house for the tour since some people may prefer that to driving everyplace. Meigs Local Board of Education hires personnel to fill vacancies POMEROY – In preparation for the opening of the school year on Aug. 22, the Meigs Local Board of Education is in the process of hiring personnel to fill vacancies. Meeting in special session this week, the Board hired Michael Barnett as the director of curriculum, instruction and federal programs for the next school year. Also hired were Jena Tenoglia and Penny Newland as speech and language pathologists, as recommended by Karla Brown, special education coordinator. To fill a vacancy in the high school guidance office created by the retirement of a staff member, Sara Will was hired on a one year contract pending completion of administrative requirements. Heath Hudson was hired on a supplemental contract as girls varsity basketball coach for the year. Prior to the open meeting members of the board met in executive session to discuss the hiring and compensation of personnel, as well as negotiations. Attending were Barbara Musser, Ryan Mahr, Ron Logan, Roger Abbott and Larry Tucker, board members, along with Superintendent Rusty Bookman and Treasurer/ CFO Mark Rhonemus. �Friday, July 15, 2011 The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Forecast Reward offered in Professional development in progress Friday: Mostly amounts of less than a Middleport fire probe sunny, B C H with a high near tenth of an inch, except Looking to another school year Y HARLENE OEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – For most teachers in the Meigs Local School District, summer is definitely more than just a three-month vacation. It’s a time used for professional development, for learning the concepts needed to master state standards in all subject areas, and for preparing for another school year, according to Meigs Local Superintendent Rusty Bookman. Bookman listed programs in progress at the respective schools: At Meigs Primary the teachers are working to implement the revised Ohio Academic Content Standards and develop a new standards-based grade card based upon the revised standards. At Meigs Intermediate, the teachers have the opportunity to hone their formative assessments – tests that are given to students to ensure they are learning the concepts needed to master state standards in all subject areas. These formative assessments provide teachers with a data-based vehicle to share best instructional practices and help them identify and quickly address any gaps in student learning. Thanks to a School Improvement Grant (SIG) awarded to Meigs Middle School from the Ohio Department of Education, the Middle School teachers are involved in learning reading and math intervention techniques utilizing Renaissance Learning programs. Meigs High School teachers’ professional development programs are geared toward implementing the revised Ohio Academic Content Standards and formative assessment development, and districtwide teachers are taking training in Ohio’s Value Added accountability system, IEP student grading and Smartboard technology. “The time and effort teachers put in during the summer will greatly expand upon the work that we have done to increase student achievement by improving our instructional practices, Bookman said. Despite the fiscal challenges we continue to face due to the state’s budget crisis, we are forging ahead in the areas we view as critical to academic success by using our funds prudently to remain focused on our students,” he concluded.

REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM MIDDLEPORT — The State Fire Marshal has posted a $5,000 reward for information relating to a suspected arsonist’s fire in Middleport. The Division of State Fire Marshal has posted a Blue Ribbon Arson Reward for information on the June 22 fire at 304 Sycamore Street in Middleport (Meigs County). The fire was ruled arson, and a reward of up to $5,000 is being offered to anyone with information leading to the identification of the person or persons responsible, according to the division’s spokesman Shane Cartmill. “Because this is an ongoing criminal investigation, we cannot release specifics at this time, other than to say the fire was intentionally set,” Cartmill said Thursday. The building was a duplex - no one was home at the time of the fire. Anyone with info should call the Division of State Fire Marshal at 1-800-589-2728. AEP but the project would not move forward from there, AEP said. The government’s tab for the first phase was expected to be about $16 million, the company said. “The $334 million from the Department of Energy was intended to pay for up to half of the commercialization of the capture and storage project, but that still leaves at least the same amount for AEP to recover,” said Hemlepp. Meanwhile, customers in northern West Virginia and southern Ohio are already seeing the impact of existing cost recovery reflected in their electric statements, and AEP has recently submitted a request to the Public Utilities Commission to increase rates and taxes on customer’s bills even further. This increase, if passed, will take effect Jan. 1, 2012. Hemlepp said that customers in the areas surrounding AEP’s coal-fueled plants, which include Gallia and Meigs Counties, are being negatively impacted by increasingly stringent Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations. “In the past five years, electricity rates — especially those in areas served by coal-fired plants — have risen significantly as AEP works to meet EPA compliance demands and time frames,” said Hemlepp, citing the construction of new scrubbers and catalytic reduction systems that cost AEP and, in turn, AEP’s customers millions of dollars. A recent energy panel discussion held in Marietta, Ohio with representatives from coal, oil and gas industries and members of the public estimated the proposed increase to be between 17 and 20 percent, with an additional “riders” increase beyond that. According to industry representatives, although Ohio electric customers can shop for better rates from AEP competitors, the proposed “riders” increase is nonpassable, which means it will be charged regardless of provider, if approved. Hemlepp said that AEP has a bigger problem with EPA compliance deadlines than with the measures the company is required to take. “We have no problem with the new rules set forth by the EPA,” said Hemlepp. “It’s the time frames. A more rational approach would help protect jobs and keep tax dollars in the community. Just a couple of years would make a huge difference.” U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) noted the challenge of funding new technologies in an environment of already increasing costs to residential and commercial customers in a Thursday statement. “I understand that in tough economic times, we cannot raise utility rates on our constituents in order to fund the development of new technologies,” Senator Manchin said. “I strongly believe we need to continue this project, and I hope the Department of Energy will find a way to support this critical program that is important to West Virginia and our nation’s energy future.” AEP, based in Columbus, Ohio, is one of the nation’s largest electric utilities. It serves 5.2 million customers in 11 states and has 80 power plants. (The Pomeroy Daily Sentinel and Associated Press contributed to this story.)

THOMAS JOHNSON As an avid reader, I’ve acquired many books in my life-time. Once I even belonged to four different book clubs at the same time, and also subscribed to several magazines. Those were the days when I had more time and money. College and then seminary, then marriage, parenthood, and becoming a pastor have restricted my budget and free time. I still subscribe to several magazines, but only occasionally purchase books to read. My dear wife would prefer I go to the library for my reading material, and doesn’t accept that my owning my own books means I have them to read at my convenience and leisure—whenever. Most of the books I read are historical in nature; others relate to woodworking (my hobby). Still others tend to be a bit more academic in nature, and pertain to the Church: some to its history; and some focus on current concepts and trends. For instance: “many moons ago” (as my High School Biology teacher used to say), when I started in ministry there was a great emphasis on church growth, and every minister was more-or-less expected to be all agog and fired-up about growing their church. Those not duly enthused and excited about the concept were looked upon as virtual traitors, and even pariahs. Of course, one size does not fit all, and neither should all entities be treated in the same manner even though they may share certain similarities. Nevertheless, in those heady days of the Church Growth Movement tons of books were written and numerous theories advanced, with the proposition being that Thomas Johnson every church could and would grow, so long as they complied with the steps set forth therein. Some churches in America have morphed into “Mega-churches.” As compared with the vast majority of churches in this Country, they have grown exponentially for a number of reasons — and like everything else, these bigger church have their advocates as well as their detractors. As Americans, we’ve been told “bigger is better” and, in this vein, fast-food places have catered to us with “supersized” drinks and meals. Should you desire a bigger vehicle, there’s a car or truck dealer wanting to make your acquaintance and accommodate you. Want a bigger house? Check with any local realtor, and he or she will do their utmost to locate the manse of your dreams. Want a bigger house of worship, a church that is aesthetically-pleasing and oozing with curb appeal? How about one most-likely to satisfy your desire for anonymity once inside? Shop around. There are more than a few churches oriented towards “seekers”—people wanting one thing or another. Churches of this ilk want you to try them out, if you are uncomfortable in mainline or otherwise “dated” churches. Just remember, though, that bigger isn’t always better. Those super-sized meals and beverages indeed will take a toll on your budget and your body, so “approach with caution!” If a bigger church appeals to you, you’re not alone. However, allow me to point out that bigger churches have bigger bills, budgets, and problems—and if not bigger cliques, then more of them! And why attend a church, but not get involved in its ministry and mission?!? That’s hardly the way Christ intends us to be! When a man was leaving a certain church one Sunday he was greeted by the pastor, who didn’t know the guy from Adam. This isn’t at all unusual: “been there, done that” myself; yet, when the pastor said he hadn’t seen this man around before, the man replied he was in the Lord’s “secret service.” Get that? The Lord’s “secret service”? Ain’t no such thing!!! If we do as the song says, and “Stand up, stand up for Jesus”—we ought not do so exclusively behind the closed doors of the church itself, where such behavior is expected, but out in the world, too, where we’ll be able to make a significant difference. Making a difference is the purpose of the Church. In any church, the Lord always enlists the most receptive and sensitive disciple, who then becomes God’s agent to that body of Christ. Let the Spirit inspire and invigorate, and we the people of God step out in faith—to turn negatives into positives and change wrongs to rights—regardless of opposition, real or imagined, physical or spiritual. Be assured: “greater is He who is in you” than any other being, anywhere! Friday, July 15, 2011 No excuse for just warming the pew BY CARRIE WOLFE Warning: You might want to wear steal toed shoes when reading this column. Your toes just may get stepped on. Repeatedly, I have heard there is nothing that we can do to change things. The perception is that the world is getting more wicked and more evil. The feeling is that we are not able to turn the tide on our street, our community, our schools, our county, our state and certainly our country. To those people I have one word: hogwash. The very definition of a Christian is to be like Jesus the Christ. It is to follow in His foot steps. It is to be like Him in all we do. It is to speak the truth wherever, whenever without regard to the consequence. It is imperative the believers of today get a hold of this down to their core. It means saying the things others do not want to. It means taking a stand when it is not convenient or even personally profitable to do so. Hmmm...still want to call yourself a Christian? Christ is not a toy or a good luck charm to pluck out of your pocket when things get rough. He also is not the “god of hang-on” in anyway shape or form. When the disciples watched Him ascend to heaven, they stood there starring up. Two angels appeared and told them to stop starring at the sky just waiting for His return and get about the work He charged them to accomplish. Church quit starring at the sky! I am so sick of hearing people who soil the name of my Most Beloved by calling themselves “Christians” with their “I’m just holding on until He comes back” attitude. You may make me sick. If you crack open that Bible you proclaim, there is nothing about “hanging on” in it. The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob is the God of Abundance, the God who has a future plan for you, a plan for you to prosper. Now, that does not mean we are all going to drive Cadillacs. What that means is there should not be a poverty of the spirit in any Christian. Stop wallowing in the “just get bys” and start doing Carrie Wolfe something for the Kingdom! Generally, those same people have the attitude that there is nothing we can do about anything. Really? The world is just too wicked and evil and “not the way it used to be.” You make me sick, too. We have a lot of problems. We have a lot of issues, but I wager they were absolutely nothing like what the disciples faced. Come on. Really? Christianity was the most minority religion there was. At first, it was not even spread among the gentiles. They were trying to reach the world, you just have to reach your community. Peter and Paul, I believe knew that they would be martyred. Yet, they never stopped. All you are being asked to do is speak up. If we do not speak up, we are just as guilty as those who commit the crimes we see. If even one fourth of the “Christians” in this county stood up and started acting like real believers, we would see a dramatic change. I do not believe the world has gotten more evil, more wicked. I believe the root of the problem is much uglier. I believe the problem is Christians have gotten lazier. If you truly believe that there is nothing to be done, please do the poor person who suffers as your pastor and probably beats their head against the wall at least once a week because of you — just stop warming the pew. Please. If there is a child being neglected and abused, you must speak up. I do not care what the consequences are, you must. You can not claim to follow Jesus and keep silent. Do not just shake your head, you know better. If you do not, you are just as guilty as the person neglecting and abusing that child. You are just as guilty and one day you will be held accountable for your silence. The same thing goes for drug dealers. Stop living in fear and start living in the power of the Living God. If you are apart of the system that has so utterly failed the children of this county and you are not doing everything possible to change it, SHAME ON YOU. You will be held accountable. You are just like the pharisees and sadducees and Jesus only had one word for them: woe. It is time church. It is time we bring Jesus to our street, our community, our schools, our county, our state and by His mercy and grace, our country. I am not looking back. I am looking forward, not backward. It is time to take a stand. It is time to link arms together and move into something new. What can be done? First, let us daily, hourly if necessary check our attitude. Are we speaking words of life or words of death? Are we encouraging one another and encouraging those who are lost? Are we allowing the Light of Christ to shine through us. Second, are we praying? The prayers of a righteous man (or woman) certainly do avail much. We must fight much of this fight on our knees. If a handful of men can set this world on fire, a handful of old ladies can really tear up Meigs County. You know who you are, you may be older, but you can pray. Get on your knees and fight for the voiceless, fight for the children, fight for the hurting, fight for your grandchildren and great grandchildren. Do it in a way as never before, do it expecting the Lord Almighty to do what you ask. My prayer is ever stinking stitch of corruption in this county be brought full to the light. It is for every child who is being abused and neglected to be saved and placed in a loving home. It is for those who turn a blind eye, who have grown complacent to be removed from position if their heart will not be turned. It is time church, step up and we shall over come. Step up and indeed we shall live with Grace Out Loud! Whenever you are doing what God has called you to do, it is important to rely on His strength, His grace, and His power to complete your task. You will become frustrated if you try to make things happen on your own strength instead of relying on God. God is the author and finisher of His plans (Hebrews 12:2), and you must not try to take the place of God if you expect things to work out.

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �FAITH & FAMILY Keeping peace in your soul is a distinct possibility BY PASTOR RON BRANCH A certain commercial pictures a man vacationing at a beautiful, mountain-lake. He has on a lifejacket, and holds an oar in one hand. Standing on the pier, he raises his hands and exults, “Now I can have peace to enjoy my vacation!” The reason for his newfound peace, according to the commercial, is because he has purchased a security system for his house. But, I wonder —if the man would ever think about the possibility of the electricity going out, would that thought happen to ruin his sense of peace? What if, while he is trying to be on vacation, the thought occurred to him that he could not actually afford the service? Unfortunately, there is always something that can potentially offset getting and keeping peace in the soul. People are always trying to get a sense of peace and keep a sense of peace in the soul from sources that will in some way or another come up short of expectations. Actually, anything humanly proposed, prompted, or provided concerning perceived sources for peace will never bring bonafide, enduring peace. However, God can provide it. Real and enduring peace only comes from God. His Word clarifies it, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace.” How would you like to get peace and keep peace in your soul when having severe financial concerns? What about when Ron Branch ill health occurs? Or, when tragedy strikes your family? The failure of many when it comes to getting peace and keeping peace in the soul is that they either are not aware they can have such peace, or they do not know how they can go about getting such peace. Getting and keeping peace in the soul is a multifaceted, spiritual endeavor, and, once again, it is in God’s Word where the clues are clarified. To begin, God will keep one in perfect peace “whose mind is stayed on thee.” In other words, getting peace and keeping peace is a matter of maintaining your mind on God. Peace is consequently proposed, prompted, and provided on two accounts of it. First, maintaining your mind on God affects what we think, particularly when we call to mind His promises and providence. Second, it affects how we feel, especially from the sense of security gained from it. Next, God will keep in perfect peace those who “trust in the Lord JEHOVAH.” Do you see the name? Notice the significance of the name. The very essence of the name inspires peace in the soul. He is the Sovereign, SelfExistent One, the Lord of lords. One goes to the highest levels of trust when they trust in the Lord Jehovah. If God is not your trust, you are not advantaged at all. Finally, God will keep in perfect peace those who tap into His “everlasting strength.” Strength and peace go hand-in-glove. The obvious value of strength is that it puts one into a superior position to deal with circumstances, which consequently breeds a sense of wellbeing. It is like a football team that realizes after a few plays that their corporate opponent is not as strong in the physical and strategic dynamics of the game. They thus play more confidently. In much the same way, when we trust in the Lord’s strength to be manifested within ourselves, we come to realize that there is nothing opposing us that is as strong. We thus become more confident---and, ultimately, more peaceful in the soul. Too much unrest in the soul characterizes the people of God. But, for those who cooperate with Him, God has a “perfect peace” to be gotten and kept. Apostle Paul sums the matter, “The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Works for me! Personal Independence BY ALEX COLON Human history has demonstrated over and over again that as a race we are obviously incapable of governing ourselves effectively apart from God’s principles and leadership in our lives. God of course, knew this from the beginning, which is why He set into motion His plan to reclaim, or re-colonize planet earth, a plan He established even before the foundations of the Earth were laid. Re-colonization is a very unfamiliar concept because it is extremely rare for a colony, once it has declared its independence from a kingdom, to later change its mind and desire to return to colonial status. God, however, initiated the re-colonization of Earth for two reasons: one, for His sovereign will and intent to never be thwarted and two, because our survival as a race depends fully on it. Though to be independent from a corrupted form of government, as a country might be a good thing, yet a personal independence from God is the very thing that caused Adam the loss of the Garden and the loss of the Glory of God (Genesis 13), and this is something God hates to see in our lives. Alex Colon This personal independence is the number one tenet of capitalism and democratic republics. The thing God hates is the very thing we magnify. The thing that God says is our condemnation is the very thing we regard as our highest achievement. As independent individuals we can do whatever we like and pursue our own happiness and our own joy at our own expense. We take great pride in “doing our own thing,” while God says, “That’s the every problem with the world.” It’s a paradox. This is why it is very difficult to live in the Kingdom of God and live at the time in a democracy under a capitalistic system. It is hard to strike a balance between the two because the principles that operate them are diametrically opposed to each other and yet, we must learn to operate in both. As a mat- ter of fact, it is vitally important that as believers we learn to influence and operate under God’s kingdom order in a democratic capitalistic system. One must overrule the other since the one rebelled against the other. This sense of independence that get’s carried over into our every day lives is a major hindrance in the advancement of God’s kingdom in and through our lives. Here is a question to ponder for a minute: Is our sense of pride and independence holding us back from receiving all that God has for us? It is God’s idea for God’s people to fully depend on Him. Why? Because Father knows best! He wants His best for us. I have learned that God’s goods are far better than my best. Therefore, leaning, and relying on God for everything we do is a great necessity for our growth, our prosperity and our continual independence from sin. God wants us to prosper and be in good health even as our minds, will and emotional lives prosper. This type of prosperity comes by submitting our independence to God’s rulership and depend and rely on God’s sovereign leadership to run our lives to the finish line as champions. A person who can't submit to authority has no business being in authority. Page A5 Friday, July 15, 2011 A Hunger for More BY THOM MOLLOHAN A supreme peril for Christians today lies within our propensity for becoming distracted from the highest calling that we have – that of loving God with all our heart and soul and strength (Matthew 22:3638). Gradually slipping from the wonderful summit of our first love, we cool down in our spiritual exhilaration that we could be enjoying in all spheres of our lives. And don’t be deceived… the dissipation of our adoration is never instantaneous nor easily discernable. Instead, it fades by subtle degrees as the corrosion of our over-burdened schedules, overstimulated senses, and over-whelming responsibilities eats at us leaving us little more than organic shells that function but don’t really live. Just as each individual believer in Jesus has been given the summons to place all things under the banner of loving God with all that is within him, and secondly to love each other at least as much as each loves himself, the collective assembling of these Believers (a.k.a. the Church) is charged with the urgent and supreme task of leading people to faith in Jesus as Savior and teaching them to submit entirely to Him as Lord. Just as individual Christians can become distracted, and as a result of that, become ineffective and fruitless, the Church can also be rendered so for the very fact that those within her ranks become cold, apathetic, distracted, and disoriented. The burning question follows, “Is the Church all that it should be?” Is it compassionate, seeing with eyes like God’s the hurt and hopelessness of the world? Is it pure, casting aside all things that hinder the fullness of God’s presence in its midst? Is it faithful to carefully follow all of God’s loving commandments? Is it visionary, seeking to bring the power of God into all spheres of human affairs? And is it mobilized, soothing the wounds of people in the world with the balm of Jesus’ love? And if we find ourselves unable to answer in the affirmative in each of these matters, the next question is one that we each should ask ourselves. “Am I all that I should be in the Kingdom of God?” The health of the Church is determined by the spiritual health of those that comprise her. And if we do in fact find that the church (by which I mean all Christians as well as individual assemblies) is ailing, then we must Thom Mollohan conclude that those within her are ailing too, sick with the diseases associated with disharmony with God. Should we find that we have the signs and symptoms that truly do indicate that all things are not what they should be and the viruses of worldly perspectives and selfish agendas have infected us, we can assume that the Great Physician has already diagnosed our problem and is set on providing us the remedies necessary to set things right. For example, in Revelation 2:1-7, Jesus speaks to the church in the ancient city of Ephesus, commending them on their hard work, but with His supernatural x-ray eyes, chides them for having lost their first love… their “passion” for Him. The church in the city of Pergamum (Revelation 2:12-17) He acknowledges that they have been faithful in spite of strong spiritual opposition, yet points out that their passion for Him has become watered down among many passions, particularly physical ones which many today also erroneously equate with the term “passion”. The church in the town of Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29) He recognizes for their loving disposition, faith, service, and endurance, yet He zeroes in on the fact that their passion for Him has become obscured by immorality and idolatry. In regard to the church in the city of Sardis (Revelation 3:16), He sees its program and visibility which likely seems really great and “cutting edge” to people all around them, yet, Jesus says that they are dead… that there is no life… no genuine connection with God and, therefore, no genuine spiritual activity in the hearts of its people: a whole lot of “human” activity doesn’t necessarily mean that what is taking place is of God. And finally the church in the town of Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-20) He strongly rebuffs, diseased as it is with self and worldliness that run so deep that they have delusions of spiritual wealth and health. In each case, the remedy is the same. Jesus said, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father (God the Father) on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit (of God) says to the churches” (Revelation 3:19-22 NIV). In each case, Jesus Himself is the answer. We may look to a lot of different things in life to satisfy our cravings for attention, affirmations, and applause, but nothing and no one but Jesus Himself can bring to our hungry hearts genuine peace and hope. We may settle for busy schedules and a lot of meager personal accomplishments that last for a little while, but nothing and no one but Jesus Himself can receive the investment of our love and service, multiply them so that they not only achieve more and go deeper than what we could on our own, but also make them last for eternity! God’s love, manifested perfectly in the death and physical resurrection of Jesus, is the great need of our day… for us individually, and for us corporately in the church! Not only so, but it is the great need of the world also. If then the church and her individual members have lost touch with their great lifeline, how then can the church be the conduit of hope that this messed up and suffering world needs? Let it not be this way for us in our churches! Let us seek God with all our heart, soul, and strength, bowing to His authority for our lives, for our families, and for our churches knowing that His will is best for us all. “Jesus replied, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father Who sent Me’” (John 14:23-24 NIV).

Spenting time in God’s presence Simply by being in your presence, non-Christians ought to be able to tell that you have spent time in God's presence. In Acts 4, Peter and John were brought to the rulers and elders of the people (v. 8) to be questioned by them. But when Peter and John came to those people, who were Jews, they were astonished [by Peter and John] and they took note that these men had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13). In other words, the Jews could tell that Peter and John had spent time with Jesus simply by the way they lived. Indeed, Jesus had so changed their lives that an "aroma" of God was coming from them. Having that "aroma" requires being like Christ, and the only way that we can become Christ-like is if we abide and dwell in God's presence--and doing that requires a conscious decision. You must decide to practice His presence! Also, by being in God's presence, we will bear good spiritual fruit. In John 15:5, Jesus promises, "If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit." In other words, by spending time with God you will develop valuable spiritual fruit. Then, the world will see your fruit and recognize that you have been with Jesus.

No "hallelujah moment" was likely by day's end, White House spokesman Jay Carney said, with Friday shaping up as an important decision day. As the negotiations entered a perilous endgame. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warned of economic damage and an anxious Wall Street envisioned catastrophe if the U.S. defaulted on its obligations. As legislators squabbled, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner served notice there was no finessing the Aug. 2 deadline for solving the debt crisis. "We have looked at all available options and we have no way to give Congress more time to solve this problem," he said. "We're running out of time." But the president's blunt declaration that "enough is enough" as the previous evening's talks ended did nothing to quell the rancor as a new day of positioning and posturing played out. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid stood on the Senate floor and sniped that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor shouldn't even be part of the talks anymore, noting that the Virginia Republican has been called "childish." Cantor shrugged off the criticism, and drew a show of support from Speaker John Boehner, despite evident differences between the two men over the course of negotiations. "We have been in this fight together," Boehner said at a news conference, placing his arm around Cantor for emphasis. "We're in the foxhole." At the White House, Carney for the first time indicated that the administration was prepared to move beyond the negotiations on deficit reduction and seek some other path toward increasing the debt limit, with Friday looming as a decision day. "The president views Friday as an important moment where we can make an assessment about whether we are moving toward a significant bipartisan agreement on deficit reduction or not," Carney said. "And if we are moving in that direction, and he sincerely hopes we are, then we will continue toward that goal. " "If we're not, then we have to begin looking at making sure that we fulfill our obligations to uphold the credit rating of the United States." He did not elaborate. For his part, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said the debt problem belonged squarely in Obama's lap. "Republicans will not be reduced to being the tax collectors for the Obama economy," McConnell said. "Don't expect any more cover from Republicans on it than you got on health care. None." Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, testifying on Capitol Hill, warned legislators that failing to raise the debt limit in time to avoid default would only end up increasing the federal deficit, calling that a "self-inflicted" wound. He said default would drive up interest costs on the $14.3 trillion debt and reduce government rev- enues by slowing economic growth and could "throw the financial system potentially into chaos." None of the back-andforth was a promising prelude to Thursday's talks at the White House. With less than three weeks left before the deadline for increasing the government's borrowing authority, the day's meeting was to focus on the touchy matters of how to cut spending on Medicare and Medicaid and raise more tax revenue. Behind the scenes, legislators and White House officials continued to work on a more limited backup plan offered by McConnell that would give Obama new powers to overcome Republican opposition to raising the debt ceiling. The GOP leader's plan was welcomed by Democrats on Capitol Hill and at the White House as at least as a recognition that default was unthinkable. "I think everyone who is concerned about lifting the debt ceiling is saying bravo for Senator McConnell," said House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. But Carney said the White House would rather do something more substantial, a "grand bargain" to significantly cut spending and raise more revenue. The financial world was watching with growing jitters. "No one can tell me with certainty that a U.S. default wouldn't cause catastrophe and wouldn't severely damage the U.S. or global economy," Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase & Co., told reporters Thursday. "And it would be irresponsible to take that chance." Mixed data show economy growing at weak pace adding to their stockpiles for 17 straight months. Sales across all levels of businesses fell in May for the first time in nearly a year, the Commerce Department said in a fourth report. Fewer sales are a sign that companies may have overestimated consumer demand. JPMorgan economist Michael Feroli said the bank lowered its growth forecast for the JulySeptember period based on the latest data on stockpiles. He said it expects only 2.5 percent growth, down from its initial estimate of 3 percent. That's not much higher than the 2 percent growth most analysts expect for the first half of the year. The economy would need to grow 5 percent for a whole year to bring down the unemployment rate by one percentage point. Economic growth of just 3 percent a year would hold the unemployment steady and keep up with population growth. "Clearly the recent stalling in employment growth has forced house- holds to be a bit more careful with their cash," said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist with Capital Economics. "For the moment, these data will do little to dispel fears that the economic recovery is going nowhere." Companies pulled back on hiring sharply this spring. The economy added only 18,000 net jobs in June, the second straight month of dismal hiring. The unemployment rate rose to 9.2 percent, the highest this year. That's far below the average job gains of 215,000 per month in the February-April period. The decline in unemployment benefit applications is an encouraging sign that layoffs are dropping and the job market may be slowly improving. The total would have been even lower if Minnesota's government wasn't shutdown. That caused 11,500 state workers to file applications last week, the department said. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, dropped to 423,250 last week. That's the lowest since late April. Applications had fallen in February to 375,000, a level that signals healthy job growth. But they rose above 400,000 in early April and have yet to fall below that level since. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress on Wednesday that temporary factors, such as high gas prices and supply chain disruptions caused by the Japan crises, have slowed the economy. They should begin to fade and the economy should grow at a faster pace in the second half of this year, he said. But if not, he said the central bank is prepared to do more to stimulate growth. Gas prices peaked in early May near $4 a gallon but have fallen steadily since. Prices at the pump averaged $3.66 on Thursday, according to AAA. Cheaper gas dragged down overall retail sales in June. Sales at gas station tumbled 1.3 percent in June. Consumers also spent less on furniture, electronics, appliances and sporting goods for a third straight month. Shoppers did boost purchases at general merchandise stores, which include stores such as Wal-Mart and Target. Sales at those stores rose 0.4 percent. The Producer Price Index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, declined 0.4 percent in June. Wholesale energy prices fell 2.8 percent, the biggest decline in nearly two years. Food prices rose 0.6 percent in June, mostly because of higher fruit and melon costs. Oranges jumped 41.2 percent, and carbonated soft drinks rose 7.5 percent, the most since the government began tracking that category in 1996. Excluding the volatile food and energy categories, the so-called core index rose 0.3 percent, driven largely by a jump in prices for pickup trucks. by union con- owner David Pitzer says Budget forces protected tracts. he is selling liquor and Heffner says other staff will appeal the order. job cuts at layoffs will be required.

Scientists say research on embryonic stem cells, which are usually taken from discarded embryos at fertility clinics, may lead to cures for diseases. The Catholic Church maintains that destruction of embryos amounts to the killing of human life. A spokeswoman for the national Komen group says it has never funded stem cell research, though its policies don't prohibit that, The Blade of Toledo reported Tuesday. If the group received a request to fund such research, it "would weigh it very carefully, as we do all research proposals," Andrea Rader, spokeswoman for the Dallasbased organization, told the Toledo newspaper in an email. Research proposals are considered for their likelihood to have a positive impact on breast cancer research and treatment, Rader wrote. Blair's letter directed fundraising by Catholic institutions to organizations other than Komen "to avoid even the possibility of cooperation in morally unacceptable activities." A statement from the diocese Tuesday stressed that Blair did not ban individual Catholics from contributing locally to Komen with the charity's "assurance that no local funds go to Planned Parenthood or to embryonic stem cell research." Leaders with Komen's northwest Ohio affiliate say no local dollars have gone to either one. They are disappointed and will ask to meet with Blair, executive director Mary Westphal said Tuesday. She said diocesan leaders did not call or meet with them before the decision. Westphal said she is optimistic that individual Catholics will continue contributing. Blair was out of town, but spokeswoman Sally Oberski told The Associated Press that she was not aware of previous Komen requests to meet with Blair or other diocesan officials on fundraising. Cincinnati Archbishop Dennis Schnurr and other officials in the archdiocese met with Komen representatives from Cincinnati before telling them in a Feb. 1 letter that its parishes and schools wouldn't be allowed to raise money for Komen, given the possibility that the charity could fund such research. Schools in the Toledo diocese and the Cincinnati Archdiocese have raised money for Komen, but Oberski and Cincinnati Archdiocese spokesman Dan Andriacco didn't know how much, saying schools handle their own fundraising and channeling of donations. Westphal also didn't have totals. Messages left Tuesday for the Cincinnati chapter weren't immediately returned. Bishop Richard Lennon of the Cleveland Diocese released a joint statement with Komen last year, saying he was "satisfied that the monies raised here in our diocese are going to help prevent and cure breast cancer without violation of Catholic teaching." Bishops in the Catholic Conference of Ohio have discussed Komen's policy concerning the research but haven't issued a group statement or policy, executive director Carolyn Jurkowitz said. WASHINGTON (AP) — A mixed slate of reports Thursday showed the economy is being held back by high gas prices and sluggish hiring. Economists are forecasting a pick-up in growth in the second half of the year. But the latest data revealed only faint signs of a turnaround. The Commerce Department said retail sales ticked up only 0.1 percent last month, after declining the previous month. Consumers spent more on cars and in big chain stores in June, but less on furniture and appliances. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits dropped last week by 22,000 to a seasonally adjusted 405,000, the lowest level in three months. Still, applications have been above 400,000 for 14 straight weeks, reflecting the weak job market. U.S. companies paid less for raw materials and factory goods in June, a separate report showed. The decline in wholesale prices was driven by the steepest fall in energy prices in nearly two years. Gas prices dropped by the most since last May, the Labor Department said. Still, businesses and motorists are paying nearly a dollar more per gallon than they were a year ago. That has forced many consumers to forgo discretionary purchases. Growth in retail sales has slowed since February — around the same time that gas prices began to surge. "Consumers are fatigued," said Chris Christopher, an economist at IHS Global Insight. "The only real good news on the consumer side of the economy is that gasoline prices started to fall, but are still relatively high." Stock markets rose in early trading but then gave up their gains. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 8 points in afternoon trading. Broader indexes also declined. Another potential problem: businesses may be forced to cut orders in the coming months after State News positions at the agency by the month's end because of budget cuts. Stan Heffner told employees Thursday that the department's operating funds have been cut by $6.3 million, or about 12.6 percent. He says the two-year budget that took effect July 1 will require more work for the agency, causing them to also restructure staff. The budget directs the department to help develop new systems for ranking school performance and has added the responsibility of sponsoring up to 20 community schools. A department spokesman says the terminated positions are ones that are not become Ohio's first establishment to have its liquor permit renewal denied over the state's smoking ban. The Ohio Division of Liquor Control notified Peg's Pub in Evendale in a letter mailed last week that the renewal was denied because of unpaid fines from the four-yearold law prohibiting smoking in many indoor places. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the bar owed the state about $56,000 plus interest and additional costs as of July 8. The Ohio Division of Liquor Control says the pub's owner has 30 days to appeal the order and can continue selling liquor during that time.

Registration is the day of the event. DeMaurice Smith and a half-dozen current or former players, including Indianapolis Colts center Jeff Saturday and Baltimore Ravens defensive back Domonique Foxworth, were there, too. The NFL locked out players in March, after negotiations broke down and the old collective bargaining agreement expired, and now the preseason is fast approaching. With each passing day, the need to arrive at a deal to end the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987 becomes greater. The Hall of Fame game that opens the exhibition season is scheduled for Aug. 7 between the St. Louis Rams and Chicago Bears, who hope to be able to start training camp at NOTEBOOK the end of n e x t week. Yet camps will not open without a new CBA in place. Talks gained steam in May, overseen by a court-appointed mediator, U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan, who is on vacation this week. Boylan ordered both sides to meet with him in Minneapolis next week, and the owners have a special meeting set for July 21 in Atlanta, where they potentially could ratify a new deal — if one is reached by then. Even once an agree- ment in principle on the core economic issues is drawn up, there will be more work to be done. That’s because there are certain issues that won’t be addressed in full until after the NFLPA reestablishes itself as a union — a process that might take a couple of days — and can then serve once again as a collective bargaining unit for the players. Items that could fall under that umbrella include the league’s drug-testing program, health insurance, retired players’ pensions and other benefits, none of which is likely to be resolved completely while the union is still dissolved. There’s also a chance the players could pursue a lockout injunction for rookies and free agents after an appeals court ruled last week that the work stoppage could continue. Disruptions to the planned preseason schedule would decrease the overall revenue pie. While the parameters for how to divide the more than $9 billion in annual league revenues have been sketched out, there are other sticking points still under discussion, including a rookie salary system and free agency guidelines. The owners want longer rookie contracts and have been seeking more right-of-firstrefusal tags for unrestricted free agents. The Please see Talks, B2 Sanchez takes Stage 12 Voeckler retains overall lead of evidence against Clemens is testimony from his former teammate and close friend, Andy Pettitte, who says Clemens told him in 1999 or 2000 that he used human growth hormone. Clemens has said that Pettitte misheard him. Pettitte also also says he told his wife, Laura, about the conversation the same day it happened. Prosecutors had wanted to call Laura Pettitte as a witness to back up her husband’s account, but Walton had said he wasn’t inclined to have her testify since she didn’t speak directly to Clemens. Walton was angered that in the video prosecutors showed the jury, LUZ ARDIDEN, France (AP) — Spanish climbing specialist Samuel Sanchez won the 12th stage of the Tour de France on Thursday and Thomas Voeckler retained the overall lead as the race entered the high mountains for the first time. After a string of setbacks in earlier stages, defending champion Alberto Contador struggled up the main climb and lost crucial seconds to other prerace favorites for overall victory. The 131.1-mile ride from Cugnaux to the Luz-Ardiden ski station featured three tough climbs in the Pyrenees — including two that are among the hardest in pro cycling. Sanchez and Jelle Vanendert of Belgium overtook a group of breakaway riders in the final climb and the Spaniard then won their two-man sprint in the last several hundred yards, crossing 7 seconds in front of Vanendert. “It’s incredible,” Sanchez said of his first Tour stage win, after finishing fourth overall last year. Frank Schleck of Luxembourg made a string of attacks on the other prerace favorites before surging away to finish third — 10 seconds back — and vault into second place overall. Italy’s Ivan Basso was fourth, Cadel Evans of Australia was fifth, and Schleck’s younger brother Andy was sixth, each 30 seconds behind Sanchez. Contador placed eighth, 43 seconds back. Voeckler gave the home crowd a delight on France’s national Bastille Day holiday, clinging to the yellow jersey that he had expected to lose in the punishing climbs. “I’m glad I was wrong,” Voeckler said. “It clearly wasn’t expected. Keeping the jersey was far from expected as the stage started today. “You have to believe that the yellow jersey gives you a bit of added inspiration on the Bastille Day.” Voeckler leads Frank Please see Trial, B2 Please see Tour, B2 AP photo Spain’s Miguel Angel Jimenez plays a shot on the 17th hole during the first day of the British Open Golf Championship at Royal St George’s golf course Sandwich, England, Thursday. Lewis, Bjorn lead British Open after Day 1 SANDWICH, England (AP) — Tom Lewis shares a name with one of the British Open’s greatest champions. The kid sure lived up to it Thursday. Lewis, a 20-year-old amateur, shot a 5-under 65 to share the lead after the opening round of golf’s oldest major — a day that was even more special because he played alongside the man he was named after: fivetime Open champion Tom Watson. “I was more nervous not to embarrass myself in front of him,” Lewis said. No worries there. Lewis pulled off some Watson-like shots at Royal St. George’s, making four straight birdies coming down the stretch before a par-saving tap-in at the 18th left him tied with Thomas Bjorn. “He could be my grandson,” quipped the 61-year-old Watson, who needed seven more strokes than his namesake to get around the course. “I just had to smile inside watching him play. I didn’t play particularly well myself, but I certainly was impressed by the way he played.” Lewis’ late-afternoon charge was definitely impressive, but it didn’t totally overshadow an early morning round by Bjorn, who was playing at this course on the English seaside for the first time since his meltdown in the 2003 Open. That’s when he threw away a two-stroke lead in the final three holes — who can forget him needing three swings just to escape the bunker at No. 16? — and allowed Ben Curtis to snatch away the claret jug with one of the sport’s most shocking upsets. Two very different players. Two hugely compelling stories atop the leaderboard. “I’m 40 years old,” Bjorn said, “and there might just be a little bit more in me.” Long after the Dane had completed his round — he was done by lunchtime — an English phenom half his age surged up the board by taking full advantage of the afternoon calm that made this place ripe for the taking. Lewis posted the lowest round ever for an amateur in the British Open, beating the 66 posted by Frank Stranahan in 1950 and matched by Tiger Woods (1996) and Justin Rose (1998). The youngster also became the first amateur to lead a round at a major since 1976, when Mike Reid was up by three strokes heading to the second day of the U.S. Open. “We certainly have a new young breed out here, don’t we?” Watson marveled. “We have a lot of young players playing very good golf.” Please see Open, B2 Jury declares mistrial in Clemens case WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge declared a mistrial Thursday in baseball star Roger Clemens’ perjury trial after prosecutors showed jurors evidence that the judge had ruled out of bounds. U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said Clemens could not be assured a fair trial after prosecutors showed jurors evidence against his orders in the second day of testimony. Walton scheduled a Sept. 2 hearing to determine whether to hold a new trial. He told jurors he was sorry to have wasted their time and spent so much taxpayer money, only to call off the case. “There are rules that we play by and those rules are designed to make sure both sides receive a fair trial,” Walton told the jury, saying such ground rules are critically important when a person’s liberty is at stake. He said that because prosecutors broke his rules, “the ability with Mr. Clemens with this jury to get a fair trial with this jury would be very difficult if not impossible.” Prosecutors suggested the problem could be fixed with an instruction to the jury to disregard the evidence, but Walton seemed skeptical. He said he could never know what impact the evidence would have during the jury’s deliberations “when we’ve got a man’s liberty at interest.” “I don’t see how I unring the bell,” he said. Defense attorney Rusty Hardin patted an unsmiling Clemens on the back as the judge announced his decision. Clemens did not speak to reporters as he left the courtroom and made a telephone call in a private corner of the hallway. Clemens and his lawyers remain under a court gag order, so they are unlikely to comment on the development. Walton interrupted the prosecution’s playing of a video from Clemens’ 2008 testimony before Congress and had the jury removed from the courtroom. Clemens is accused of lying during that testimony when he said he never used performance-enhancing drugs during his 24-season career in the Major Leagues. One of the chief pieces �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel Open from Page B1 An older one didn’t do so badly, either. Bjorn has struggled since the death of his father two months ago, breaking down in tears when asked what effect the loss had on him. “He meant a lot to me,” the golfer said. “He would have been very proud of what I did.” Bjorn certainly isn’t dwelling on what happened eight years ago, the last time the Open was held just up the road from the cliffs of Dover. “A lot of people make a lot of things about that, but the only way I can play golf is to concentrate on the shot in front of me,” he said. “It never entered my mind.” Bjorn had some good fortune at the 16th this time. He thought his 9iron was headed for the bunker, but the ball took a fortunate bounce and rolled down toward the cup. He made the putt for his third birdie in a row. “We all know what it’s like,” Bjorn said. “A bounce here or there, and then it goes either wrong or right. Today, it went my way.” U.S. Open champion Rory McIlroy got off to a sluggish start but was still in the mix, putting up a 71 that left him six strokes back. Considering he played in the morning, when conditions were tougher, McIlroy had no complaints about a round that began with a pair of bogeys on the first three holes. “It was a day where you just needed to grind out a score,” McIlroy said. “Anywhere around even par was a good start.” In the afternoon, the gusting breezes off the Strait of Dover died down and the rain held off, resulting in about twice as many rounds in the 60s as the morning starters put up. But there were plenty of red numbers all over the board. Lucas Glover, Miguel Angel Jimenez and Webb Simpson were just one stroke off the lead. Eight players shot 68, ranging from major winners Graeme McDowell and Martin Kaymer to alternates Ricky Barnes and Simon Dyson. Heck, Bjorn was an alternate, getting in only one day of practice after learning Monday night he had a spot because of Vijay Singh’s withdrawal. The group at 68 also included Kyle Stanley, Tour from Page B1 Schleck by 1 minute, 49 seconds overall, and Evans is third, 2:06 back. Contador is seventh overall, 4 minutes behind. “I was a bit careful,” the three-time Tour champion said. “I saw who hustled over on an overnight flight for his first Open after qualifying Sunday with a runner-up finish in the John Deere Classic. Lewis has some experience on this course, winning the 2009 British Boys Amateur at Royal St. George’s, and he sure knew his way around the place. He’ll hold off on turning pro until after the Walker Cup this fall. McIlroy had not played since his dominating win at Congressional last month. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland might have been a bit rusty, struggling to keep it straight off the tee and looking shaky with the putter. Still, there’s plenty of time for a comeback. Bjorn and Lewis are intriguing but McIlroy has emerged as the new face of golf — especially while Tiger Woods sits out his second straight major, trying to heal an injured leg. Playing right behind McIlroy was England’s Luke Donald, ranked No. 1 in the world and coming off a runaway win in Scottish Open. His day went much like McIlroy’s, leaving them both to settle for 71s. The 47-year-old Jimenez capped off a bogey-free round with a brilliant chip at the 18th. The portly Spaniard saved par with a short putt after he drove into the tall grass. Then, lighting up his familiar cigar, he headed off to the putting green. A pair of Americans also finished strong. The bearded Glover, who won the 2009 U.S. Open, birdied the final three holes for his 66, most impressively the tough 18th. Dustin Johnson was struggling through a mediocre round when he suddenly caught fire at the 14th. He had two straight birdies leading to the shot of the day — a hole-in-one at the 16th. The ball rocketed onto the green, slammed against the flagstick and disappeared from view. Back on the tee, Johnson high-fived playing partner Ian Poulter, celebrating the first ace at the Open since Thomas Levet’s in the final round at Turnberry two years ago. Phil Mickelson, the last American to win a major, knocked it all over the place but pulled off a nifty up-and-down at the final hole to salvage a 70. Defending champion Louis Oosthuizen struggled to a 72 that should have been better with an afternoon tee time. the Schlecks were discussing together and that they were going to play their cards. Frank was the stronger — and both of them attacked.” “But I’m nevertheless happy with this first mountain stage,” Contador said. “Each day, I feel better. ... I still don’t have my best legs. I’m not riding with the same rhythm, but it’s encouraging.” www.mydailysentinel.com US knocks off France, headed to finals MOENCHENGLADBACH, Germany (AP) — Somehow, the Americans seem to find a way to win. And more often than not, Abby Wambach has something to do with it. With time running out and France giving the United States all it could handle and then some, Wambach’s winner in the 79th minute put her teammates at ease and set off celebrations on two continents. The 3-1 victory Wednesday night has the Americans in the World Cup final for the first time since 1999, which also just happens to be the last time the United States won soccer’s biggest prize. “It it was a privilege to take the other side of the field against a great France team,” Wambach said. “However, our team has the ability to fight through adversity. Our team has the ability to stick together when the going gets rough, and I couldn’t be more excited and proud.” The Americans will face Japan on Sunday in Frankfurt. The U.S. beat Japan by 2-0 scores in a pair of warmup games a month before the World Cup, but don’t make any assumptions off that. This World Cup has been anything but predictable, and it’s not likely to stop until someone is holding that gold trophy. Germany was the big favorite when the World Cup began, two-time defending champs and sure to get a boost from playing at home. Brazil had Marta, and was due for a good result after coming up just short in the last three major tournaments. Both teams were sent packing early, not even making it to the semifinals. Instead it was France, from Page B1 players want to get back to free agency rules similar to 2009, when a fouryear veteran whose contract expired was unrestricted. That minimum shifted to six years in 2010, when there was no salary cap because owners already had declared they were opting out of the old CBA. This week’s talks in New York began Monday with two days of meetings involving primarily lawyers. Wednesday’s face-toface session was attended by Goodell, Smith, owners and players went nearly 11 hours. As Wednesday’s meeting was beginning, star quarterbacks Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Drew Brees — plaintiffs in the players’ antitrust suit against the NFL — issued a joint statement saying “it is time” to wrap up negotiations. “We believe the overall proposal made by the players is fair for both sides and it is time to get this deal done,” they said. “This is the time of year we as players turn our attention to the game on the field. We hope the owners feel the same way.” In response, the NFL issued a statement saying: “We share the view that now is the time to reach an agreement so we can all get back to football and a full 2011 season. We are working hard with the players’ negotiating team every day to complete an agreement as soon as possible.” which had made only other World Cup appearance, and Japan in the final four along with the Americans and Sweden. And the Japanese made surprisingly easy work of Sweden, the last unbeaten team in the tournament in the other semifinal Wednesday night. “Tonight, the Japanese were a bit more eager to win,” Sweden coach Thomas Dennerby said after Japan’s 3-1 victory. The Americans knew they had doubters when they arrived in Germany. They’d lost three games since November, an alarming “bad” streak for a team that can goes years without a loss, and needed to win a playoff just to get to the World Cup. But the players were unshakable in their belief in themselves, and that will to win has won over the entire country. Even though the game started at noon EDT, people from coast to coast skipped work or took frequent “breaks” to watch the game. Bars opened early. Neighborhoods held watch parties. At the Phoenix airport, dozens of fans crowded around TVs to watch the game. When the final whistle blew, Hollywood celebrities, pro athletes and ordinary folks who didn’t know a free kick from a corner kick just a few days ago flooded Twitter with congratulations. “My heroes. Wambach. Boxx. Rapinoe. Solo. That TEAM! Our team!” actor Tom Hanks tweeted. Super Bowl MVP Aaron Rodgers said, “Awesome job US Women, finish it off Sunday now.” “These wins, we can’t do it alone. We know a whole nation is cheering us on,” Wambach said. “We believe in ourselves and we’re in the final. I couldn’t be happier.” A little relieved, too. Though not quite as flashy as Brazil, France plays with a flair and creativity that is impressive to behold. Louisa Necib runs France’s offense, and rarely were her passes or ideas off the mark. Les Bleues were so cohesive that the midfield became a no man’s land for the Americans; any ball that dared enter was soon in France’s hands. France was so dominant that, despite Lauren Cheney scoring in the ninth minute, the U.S. seemed to be playing from behind for most of the game. “We didn’t play well today,” U.S. coach Pia Sundhage said. “However, we find a way to win and that’s a credit to the players’ hearts. That’s what makes it so wonderful to be coach of this team.” Sundhage finally replaced Carli Lloyd with sparkplug Megan Rapinoe in the 65th minute, shifting Cheney inside and letting Rapinoe run wild on the flanks. Just like that, the Americans had regained control. “We didn’t want to do that whole 30 minutes of overtime and (penalty kick) thing again,” Rapinoe said. The Americans were able to push forward and began threatening French goalkeeper Berangere Sapowicz. Finally, in the 79th, Cheney won a corner kick. “I told (Cheney) at halftime, ‘Put the ball to the back post, and we’re going to get a goal,’” Wambach said. Cheney delivered the ball perfectly to the far post. Just as Wambach had predicted, the 5foot-11 forward soared over the scrum and pushed the ball past Sapowicz. “I knew Abby was going to beat her,” Cheney said, referring to the French defender who practically mugged Wambach to try and contain her. Asked how, Cheney said, “Because she’s Abby Wambach.” It was Wambach’s third goal of the tournament and 12th of her career, tying fellow American Michelle Akers for third on the all-time World Cup scoring list. And the Americans weren’t done yet. Rapinoe found a streaking Alex Morgan, who outraced four defenders, collected the ball and then threw Sapowicz off with a sweet stutter-step. The goal wide open, Morgan buried the ball to put the game out of reach. “The priority is not to accept another goal,” France coach Bruno Bini said through a translator. “When that happens, you’ve had it. We conceded another goal and that was it for us.” Despite the loss, the World Cup was a resounding success for the French. In addition to their first semifinal appearance, they qualified for the London Olympics, where the Americans will be twotime defending champions. That, however, is next summer. The Americans have another title to claim first. “We’ve achieved part of our goal. We’re in the final,” Wambach said. “We want to complete it. We want to be world champs.” Xavier frosh leads Ohio Amateur by 1 shot KETTERING, Ohio (AP) — Korey Ward has only one thing in mind heading into the third round of the Ohio Amateur: Don’t change. The Xavier freshman shot a 3-under 68 to grab a one-stroke lead over exOhio State player Michael Cress through Wednesday’s second round of the Ohio Amateur at NCR Country Club. Ward is at 5-under 137 at the 105th annual tournament’s midpoint, with eight players within five shots. “I’ve just got to keep playing how I’ve been playing; I’ve been playing great all year,” the 19year-old from West Chester said. “I just have to keep doing what I’m doing, and stay focused.” Ward had five birdies and two bogeys after starting the day in fourth place. The logjam at the top includes lots of young talent, a wizened coach with local knowledge and the defending champion. The field was cut to the low 60 scores after the round. Ward drove 101⁄2 hours to get to the tournament home from the Eastern Amateur on Monday night. He didn’t play a practice round but hasn’t skipped a beat through 36 holes. “I only live 35 minutes away, so I’ve staying at home,” he said. Apparently the home cooking suits his game. Cress, who just finished up his eligibility as a Buckeye, had the day’s low round, a 67. “This is my fourth Ohio Am and I finished fifth last year so I kind of got a taste of what it’s like,” Cress said. “This is the best tournament in Ohio for amateurs and it’s always on a course that tests you. It’s no different this week.” The Dublin native graduates from Ohio State in December. After that, he intends to go to Florida and turn pro, developing his game before going to Q-school in the fall of 2012. First-round leader Kevin Miller of Kent State followed a 65 with a 74 and was at 139 along with Ashland’s Jay Overy (71). A day after hitting 40and 35-foot birdies and using just 27 putts, Miller came down to Earth. He had 35 putts but still built up enough good will to stand two shots off the pace. “I still like the position I’m in going into the last two days,” said the Sugarcreek native, a junior at Kent State. “I’ve accomplished what I wanted to do so far — just being in the hunt.” Overy, playing early on Tuesday and late on Wednesday, torched the course in his first five holes of the second round. “I had about 60 yards on my third shot (on his first hole, the 10th) and I canned it for eagle,” he said. “Then I birdied 11 and chipped in on 12 for another, so I was 4 under threw three. I parred 13 and then birdied 14, so I was five under through five holes.” Defending champ Michael Bernard (71), who at 16 became the youngest winner ever of the Ohio Am last year at Kirtland Country Club, was at 141 along with former Toledo player Ben Boyer (70) from Dayton. Bernard is trying to become the 10th player to win back-to-back Ohio Amateurs. The last four make up some of the most legendary names on the trophy: Arnold Palmer (1953, ‘54); John Cook (1978, ‘79); Ben Curtis (1999, 2000); and Jason Kokrak (2006, 2007). Trial ments Wednesday when assistant U.S. attorney Steven Durham said that Pettite and two other of Clemens’ New York teammates, Chuck Knoblauch and Mike Stanton, had used human growth hormone. Walton said in pretrial hearings that such testimony could lead jurors to consider Clemens guilty by association. Clemens’ defense attorney objected when Durham made the statement and Walton told jurors to disregard Durham’s comments about other players. There was no objection from Clemens’ team during the Laura Pettitte reference, but the judge stopped the proceedings, called attorneys up to the bench and spoke to them privately for several minutes. Hardin pointed out during that time, the video remained frozen on the screen in front of jurors with a transcript of what was being said on the bottom. Cummings had been quoting from Laura Pettitte’s affidavit to the committee. “I, Laura Pettitte, do depose and state, in 1999 or 2000, Andy told me had a con- versation wth Roger Clemens in which Roger admitted to him using human growth hormones,” the text on the screen read. The judge eventually told the jurors to leave while he discussed the issue with attorneys in open court. “Government counsel should have been more cautious,” Walton said, raising his voice and noting that the case has already cost a lot of taxpayer money. He then left the courtroom and said he would go consult with a colleague on what to do. from Page B1 Talks Friday, July 15, 2011 Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., referred to Pettitte’s conversation with his wife. “I think that a first-year law student would know that you can’t bolster the credibility of one witness with clearly inadmissible evidence,” Walton said.
