WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ohio is at the top of the list with West Virginia being eighth in a listing of states with the most toxic air pollution from coal and oil fired power plants, according to an analysis by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). According to an NRDC release this week, the study used publicly available data in the Environmental Protection Agency’s Toxics release inventory. The analysis entitled “Toxic Power: How Power Plants Contaminate Our Air and States” was jointly released by the NRDC and Physicians for Social Responsibility (PSR.) The key findings in the report were as follows: Among the key findings: Nearly half of all the toxic air pollution reported from industrial sources in the United States comes from coal- and oil-fired power plants. Power plants are the single largest industrial source of toxic air pollution in 28 states and the District of Columbia. “Power plants are the biggest industrial toxic air polluters in our country, putting children and families at risk by dumping deadly and dangerous poisons into the air we breathe," said Dan Lashof, Climate Center Director at NRDC. "Tougher standards are long overdue. Members of Congress who consider blocking toxic pollution safeguards should understand that this literally will cost American children and families their health and lives.” The release charges that despite the health benefits of reducing toxic pollution from power plants, some polluters and members of Congress are seeking to block EPA’s efforts to update public health protections. Last week, two House Committees voted for amendments by Ed Whitfield (R-KY)/Mike Ross (D-AR) and Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) to block for at least a year the EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics standard. These amendments could move to the House floor as early as this week. Meanwhile, the NRDC charges that the chairman of the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee, Fred Upton (R-MI) has vowed to block EPA’s clean air safeguards. It further states that one of the nation’s biggest polluters, American Electric Power (AEP) based in Columbus has drafted legislation to block the EPA and has argued against EPA’s current efforts. The states on the ”Toxic 20’’ list released by the NRDC (from worst to best) are: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Indiana, Michigan, West Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, Wisconsin, New See NRDC, A2 �Friday, July 22, 2011 Obituaries The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Forecast Murder From Page A1 Mary Pauline Southern Mary Pauline Southern, 79, Syracuse, passed away on Wednesday, July 20, 2011, at Overbrook Center in Middleport.

We are definitely interested in talking to anyone who might have information regarding this murder,” Keefer said. Gonzalez, who died of multiple gun shot wounds, was found near the front of his residence at approximately 3:10 a.m. on July 11 by a person described as a friend of the victim; and, although, as of Tuesday, the state police are taking the lead on the investigation, the Mason County Sheriff’s Department will still play a role in solving this case, according to Keefer. “We are still obviously working with the Mason County sheriff’s department in this case. They were the initial responding officers,” Keefer said. “The decision was made yesterday [Tuesday] that with our resources and us being able to scour the state, we would take the lead on this investigation.” No information in regard to a motive behind the shooting has been released and, while Keefer described the victim as a person involved in the “drug world,” he emphasized that Gonzalez’s criminal history has no direct bearing on the investigation. “What Mr. Gonzalez did up to this point is what he did,” Keefer said. “No one deserved to die the way that Mr. Gonzalez died. Regardless of his vocation, regardless of his history, no one deserved to be murdered in the manner that he was murdered. At this point, we’re not interested in his drug history unless it directly relates to this murder investigation.” According to Keefer, currently, the main focus of the investigation is to glean as much information as possible from the public in regard to the shooting — even those individuals who may have otherwise been somehow criminally connected to the victim. “We are looking to solve this murder,” Keefer said. “We are not going to arrest someone for obviously admitting that they’ve traveled with Mr. Gonzalez, that they’ve bought dope from Mr. Gonzalez. At this point, our investigation is the murder.” Anyone with information relating to the vehicle of interest and/or the murder of Gonzalez is urged to contact the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police at (304) 675-0850. “A lot the folks that have spoken with us, a lot of them had a lot of respect for Mr. Gonzalez. He was a friend,” Keefer said. “We’re hoping a lot more of those folks will talk with us because we need the public’s help in these type of crimes.” A candlelight vigil was held in Gonzalez’s memory on Sunday, July 17 at the Krodel Park Pavilion in Point Pleasant. Friends of the victim will hold a second gathering from 6-9 p.m., Saturday, July 23 at the Down Under in Gallipolis. Donations will be accepted to help pay to send Gonzalez home. Gonzalez, originally from Trinidad, came to the area in the late 1990s and attended the University of Rio Grande in Gallia County on a soccer scholarship.

The EPA estimates that the reductions of toxic pollution required by the pending “Mercury and Air Toxics” standard would save as many as 17,000 lives every year by 2015 and prevent up to 120,000 cases of childhood asthma symptoms. The safeguards also would avoid more than 12,000 emergency room and hospital visits and prevent 850,000 lost work days every year.

So much despair. How is it possible that a people that has so much in the way of comfort and convenience can also seem to have so little to make it all worthwhile? And how can it be that with so much that can bring help and benefit to us that there is so little fulfillment for so many? What is the root from which springs the discontent that characterizes us? Where is the source for the overwhelming angst from which we suffer and which threatens to suffocate any capacity for a peace that lasts and the joy for which we crave? In the middle of a world awash with “cool stuff” and inundated with knowledge, what causes a man or woman to take his or her own life? Or, more horrifying still, to plot and then act to take the lives of others as gruesomely as can be imagined in the soul that is divorced from its Creator? Is it poverty? Is it social oppression? Could it be a lack of education? Or is it something else? Something far deeper and more basic to our essence as human beings? Well, whatever we may assume about the roles of the above social ills, they themselves do not “cause” a man or woman to languish in hatred or despair, until some awful deed is done. Nor do the things for which all the world runs after solve, in of themselves, the problem of hopelessness. Neither can they provide us a destination that makes life worth enduring with all its aches and pains (emotional as well as physical). How often have we seen that even rich and attractive people, who have successfully obtained the Evangelism exists because worship doesnʼt Once Christ returns at the end of this age, all those who have been born again will be with God worshiping him, and missions will no longer be necessary. Worship is eternal, but evangelism is temporary. Until Christ returns, the pur- Our Banner of Victory BY CARRIE WOLFE American dream, can still lose hope and purpose, slipping into the clutches of their own destruction? But each and every loss, whether rich or poor, famous or unknown, is a tragedy. Each life that is ended in such bitter straits is a sad and tragic story and begs the question “how could this have been stopped?” For there to be healing in a heart that reaches a point of such final desperation that only a tremendous act of violence can seem to address it, one must get to the source of the problem itself. One must recognize that it is going to take far more than the solutions to which we too quickly run for help heedless of the real sickness from which comes all these other ills. While education is a matchless tool that helps people find the plot of ground in life from which the rest of life may be addressed, it isn’t enough. Standing against social injustice is right and good, but doing so cannot give us an enduring hope if it doesn’t set free the soul that is oppressed by the bondage of sin. And though God Himself is a refuge for the needy (see Isaiah 254), our attempt to help the poor only has real meaning if our souls are first reconnected with their Maker. What then is the problem from which all these other problems stem? What is the source of spiritual infection that contaminates our land and poisons our hope? It is found in our disconnect from God. Without Him we cannot have real meaning or purpose. In rejecting Him, we’ve rejected the real reason for which we were created: loving fellowship forever with God. When we refuse His presence and lordship in our lives, we’ve refused the only antidote there is for the poisons of hopelessness and despair coursing through the veins of the world. “As long as you did what you felt like doing, ignoring God, you didn’t have to bother with right thinking or right living, or right anything for that matter. But do you call that a free life? What did you get out of it? Nothing you’re proud of now. Where did it get you? A dead end” (Romans 6:21 The Message). So socialized are we in the twenty-first century to the idea that we don’t really need God that we’ve clamped a fatal kink in our one and only lifeline. But we really do need God. And we need Him as He is, not as we think we want Him to be. We need God to be above and beyond the limits of both our physical universe, but also above and beyond the limits of our understanding. We need a God Who can love us with a truly limitless love, the likes of which are perhaps found in limited ways in caring and loving mothers and fathers. We need a God Who does what is right… all the time. Not just when it is convenient and even when it means running the risk of being misunderstood. We need a God Who doesn’t have to run to His creation, seeking to please everyone and hoping to not offend anyone. “An oracle is within my heart… Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, Your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast. How priceless is Your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of Your wings” (Psalm 36:1a, 57 NIV). When we come to the Lord, ready to receive Him and the gift of His Son, Jesus, we come to the whole point of life and the one true door we have for entering into an everlasting place of joy and peace. It’s true that many will look at that door, and turn away, preferring the kingdom of self-will along with its storehouse of miseries and despairs. But for all those who trust in Him, there is a hope that pain and even physical death cannot take away. “Now that you’ve found that you don’t have to listen to sin tell you what to do, and have discovered the delight of listening to God telling you, what a surprise! A whole, healed, puttogether life right now, with more and more of life on the way! Work hard for your sin your whole life and your pension is death. But God’s gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master” (Romans 6:22-23 The Message). pose of evangelism is to spread a passion for Christ. We evangelize so that all the peoples of the earth will "Sing to the Lord [and] proclaim his salvation day after day" (1 Chronicles 16:23). Said differently, the goal of missions is worship. Not only is worship the goal of missions, but it is also the fuel of missions. Worship begets mis- sions, and missions begets worship. In the words of pastor and author John Piper, "You can't commend what you don't cherish." If you don't treasure Christ, you won't be compelled to encourage others to treasure him. Where zeal for Christ is lacking, passion for missions will be lukewarm. Jesus instructs us to spread his name to all peoples (Matthew 28:16-20), but we'll do so only once we come to the same point as the Apostle Paul, who exclaims, "I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ" (Philippians 3:8).

They may think that I am being pompous or whatever you want to use to fill in the blank. The cross is so very dear to me. It is very special. This is one of the best ways I have ever read to describe the cross and how I feel about it. It comes from Praying the Names of God devotional by Ann Spangler. “The triumph He (Jesus) achieved that first Holy Week and Easter did not arise from human strength but rather from the strength that comes from God...the cross should remind us that it is in this sign we conquer...Indeed, ‘the way of Jesus is quite different.’ This cross must become more than a pretty piece of jewelry or an adornment for the walls of our homes. It must become a banner around which we rally and by which we live. In this cross we have the power to conquer.” Ours is the spiritual realm. Our warfare is not carnal. Neither is our banner. Our banner is Yahweh Nissi, one of the names of God in Hebrew and it means, the Lord is my Banner. The cross is that reminder and it is that I think of when I wear one. It is not for the unbeliever that I wear a cross, it is for me. It is for me to remember the conquering over the enemy. It is for me to remember to be Christ like. It is for me to remember Jesus paid the price for me to be able to be a whole person, not a broken-hearted mess. It is a reminder of the power of God over the enemy. It is the reminder that 2,000 years ago on a hill far away, God beat the tar out of the devil with a big ugly stick! And, He still beats the devil today! (Yes!!!) There has been a lot of talk. There has been a lot of prayer. There are people who are getting tired of the fight. They are tired of the struggle. To those people I say, remember to look to the cross. Remember what Jesus said that if He were lifted up, He would draw all men unto Him. He still does that. Maybe it is not in great stadium crowds, and that is okay. It is in the Quiet Revival of an individual’s heart that the Spirit of God is moving. Blessed be His name. If you have fallen away, if Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 OF YOUR CHOICE Carrie Wolfe you have gotten tired, complacent, or silent, the cross is still here. It still beckons you to the feet of Jesus. It still calls you. It does not matter what you have done, or how far you have fallen short of the glory of God. Call on His name. Receive Him into your heart. Maybe you have before, but your love for Him has grown cold. Call on Him right now. Make things right again in your heart and mind. Be at peace. Perhaps, you have fallen so short (we all do). Perhaps you have been silent. Remember the cross. Remember when the work is hard and the road difficult that it is our banner of victory. It is the price paid in blood paving the way for the empty tomb. Remember, the enemy has no power to defeat a believer, unless you give it to him yourself. When the dusty pilgrim’s road gets old, I clutch my cross and remember the following verses. Isaiah 54:17 is clear. “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me, says the Lord.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 also is clear. “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” Be obedient to the Lord. Be righteous, not as man has dictated outward righteousness to be, but according to what is pleasing to the Lord. “He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8 is simple. It is crisp with the holiness of the Lord.

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �FAITH & FAMILY Let us not impose on others, but as God’s advocates let us be obvious and vocal BY REV. THOMAS JOHNSON Right now, I’m somewhat privy to the costs associated with several pending repairs and improvements to this church. I’ll know more when the final figures become available to me. By the time you read this our Church Council will have met, and will likewise know what I now know. This is, of course, as it should be. I don’t know how your church operates, but there’s a proscribed limit here concerning expenditures by the Council. Should the proposed cost(s) exceed that amount, the Church is then brought in on the discussion and reserves the right to approve or veto the proposal. Perhaps the church you’re a part of is in the enviable position of having more money in its coffers than it has current expenses, and can support numerous programs and projects. I dare say, though, most churches have to juggle their expenses—with the monies available to them sufficient to cover the normal expenses, but not much more. Homeowners know of what I speak, given that there’s no end to the costs involved with maintaining a home. Just about the time you think you’ve got everything covered—think again! Homeowners, pastors, and church members all know there are such things as the occasional reality check. It’s likely to assume the form of a major appliance giving up the ghost, and/or some sort of repair work that requires immediate attention but exceeds your expertise. Perhaps you caught the “and/or” in that last sen- Thomas Johnson tence. An elderly and ornery old man in my first church shared with me, and I quote – “If it’s not one thing, it’s three or four of some-thing else.” Oh, yeah. What we have here is nothing major, but neither can we leave it alone. There are those outside the church far more qualified and skilled to do what needs to be done and, ultimately, they’ll get the nod to do the work. Meanwhile, as this church engages in some necessary prioritizing and triaging there’s another matter that may be at some risk of getting lost in the shuffle—i.e., missions. For a fact, in virtually every church there exists a constant tension between the two (2) entities of missions and maintenance. Allow me to paint you a picture, albeit with words: in the ceiling of the sanctuary of this church there is a hole. Never mind how it got there: that’s irrelevant; what is relevant is that the hole is unsightly, it’s alltoo-obvious, and it won’t go away. Immediately above that hole is a key part of the church’s overall air conditioning system. It’s been there almost since Hector was a pup, so it’s rather old and it’s leaking—which accounts for the mess around the hole, if not for the hole itself. So, what comes first: repairs to that A.C. unit? Or, do we heal the hole? Let the good times roll! We also have a stainedglass window someonein-the-know needs to lay his hands on, and for this project, too, monies need to be allocated and approved. These are three fairly “big ticket items” we need to deal with—and, as we used to say in the Navy, we need to address them “immediately, if not sooner!” Welcome to our world. Now, then, too much of a focus on maintenance issues is likely to jeopardize missions-related projects and support—of both the church itself, and the missions it supports. This is the “rub” which never quite gets resolved. What comes first: maintenance, or missions? Need they be mutually exclusive, or can they co-exist together? To which does a church accord primacy? Invariably, the answer determines who and what receives the “lion’s share” of the available monies. In a very real sense, it’s a matter of the physical vs. the spiritual, of that which routinely is observed by many as opposed to that which may be experienced by only a handful. Indeed, it’s about numbers. As a general rule, for better or worse, that which is most obvious and/or has the most vocal proponents tends to become priority #1. Come to think of it, people may be oblivious to God simply because He isn’t obvious! God’s gracious nature is such that He will not impose Himself on anyone, ever. Let us not impose on others, either, but as God’s advocates let us be obvious and vocal. Page A5 Friday, July 22, 2011 Faith is the brake for emotional breaks BY PASTOR RON BRANCH The experience among church people that has most recently captured my attention and stimulated ministerial burden involves the regretful reactions of those who come under emotional duress for varieties of reasons. Instead of turning first toward God and the fellowship of the church, many turn away from God and the fellowship of the church. This is an unfortunate response because of the distinct loss of spiritual advantage God and the church can provide when one’s emotional strength plunges to the lower depths of the soul. It is a spiritual reality that Satan characteristically knows how to turn up the pressure to force downward a person’s emotion and effectively drive them away from God. Spiritual failure is the consequence. While we should not allow this to happen, it is, nonetheless, a common church occurrence. There is no doubt that the cumulative affect of sorrows and disappointments affect us emotionally. But, there is something that effectively stabilizes and protects our emotions from going lower into depression and despair. It is faith. It is as simple as that — faith in God. Faith is such a simple spiritual concept. Why do we not utilize it more than we do? Many of you remember the movie in the early 1970’s called “Earthquake” in which a major earthquake struck Ron Branch the city of Los Angeles, California. People in one of the high-rise buildings hastily crowded into an elevator. But, on the way down, the cables on the elevator broke, and they plunged fast to their deaths. I tell you what — that image put the fear of God in me about elevators for a long time! I walked a lot of steps because of it. But, as it turns out, elevators have emergency brakes. If cables break, or if something goes wrong with the mechanics, emergency brakes kick in to stop the plunge. This is merely one way of imaging the importance of faith in God. You and I cannot help that, at times, we fall emotionally due to the pressures of adverse circumstances. But, faith serves us like spiritual brakes to stop any further plunge in the emotion. Regardless of how severely we are shaken, regardless of how badly our emotional props or cables in life are broken, the brakes of faith and trust in God kick in to hold us steady until the necessary spiritual repair to our emotion is restored. But, there is one more factor to consider about elevator brakes. They are not flimsy brakes. They are heavy-duty enough to adequately deal with the load of the elevator car and the people in it, which leads to another consideration involving the necessity of quality faith As Jesus and His disciples walked from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane just prior the Crucifixion, Jesus told them certain things about which, they said, caused them to truly believe in Him. Jesus responded with a biting question, “Do you now believe?” In other words, while they might believe at that point, did they have the quality of faith that would carry through the pressure of what was about to come? In just a short time, events would take place that would plunge them into emotional panic. Jesus said they would “be scattered, every man to his own.” By way of contrast, church people characteristically possess such faith that keeps them emotionally stable with God and the church as long as things go well in life. But, not all have the quality of prepared faith that keeps them strong with God when pressures cause the emotions to fall. There is spiritual victory to be had for anyone who utilizes qualified faith to brake the emotion fall. As for me, I have gotten better about riding elevators. However, an elevator with a sudden descent still grabs my gut in a resentful sort of way. Why are trials good for us? Because they make us more mature — that is, closer to God. So, when you feel the pain of life know that God is with you. Nervous and Excited BY ALEX COLON Have you ever felt excited yet nervous about a project you are about to embark in? Remember the times when you were looking forward to a new job, a vacation time, or visiting your long lost friend? Remember when you were in the process of purchasing your first house, or going to college? Excitement is in the air as well as a tremendous amount of butterflies in your stomach. There are all types of challenges that bring a sense of nervousness and excitement to our lives, both good and bad. Today, we live in challenging times. The Alex Colon Apostle Paul calls it: “perilous times” (read 2 Timothy 3).This is one amazing comment coming from Paul because during his time the Christian community was going through some tough times, yet he says that hard times are yet to come. One of the things that have come against both the world and the kingdom of God (the church) is our current economy and our health, affecting life at home. I feel a little nervous and excited for our Christian community-both at the same time! Nervous, because I realize we’re in a tight economy and optimal health is not the agenda of most of the food industry. Excited however, because God's economy is not based on our economy! God’s healthcare system is not based on ours either. He is still looking for those who walk by faith! He is still looking for those who say Yes, to His will and to His ways! He is still looking for the young boy who will share his lunch to feed others! He is still looking for those who will tear up a roof top (if you will) to enter into His presence to find healing for their loved ones. Nothing has changed about God. Did you get that?! Nothing has changed about God! You can doubt Him, but you cannot depose Him. You can not outguess Him, outgive Him, outlive Him or outdo Him. That is why I am excited and nervous at the same time!! I believe that it is time for the bride of Christ to have the same vision in demonstrating the fruit of the kingdom of God like never before so that the world may see that there is a God in heaven that moves across and outside the four walls of our homes and churches. Perhaps is feeding the hungry or helping the poor. Maybe is praying for the sick at the store or gas station – believer of non-believer and still expect God to move and perform a miracle. Remember, God is still looking for those who will walk by faith and not by their senses or eyesight. I don’t know how we will demonstrate God’s love at any given time, but this is what I know: He has never seen a prob- lem He could not solve. He has never seen a sin He could not forgive, when confessed. He has never seen a sickness that He could not heal. He has never seen an addiction that He could not break. He has never seen a runaway prodigal that he could not bring home. He has never seen a lost relationship that He could not restore. He has never seen a financial need that He could not meet!! This is the kind of God we serve! He will show up and show out in your situation if you give Him time and space called: Faith. This is something to be nervous and excited about! I am looking forward to a great move of God in your life! Christ be at the the center of your relationships Christ must be at the center of your relationships because He provides a stable, fixed point of reference; otherwise, your relationships will be frail and fragile. Every relationship is based or founded on something. For example, some relationships are based on the fact that both people work for the same company, attend the same school, or sharing a similar interest in a hobby or sport. With all of relationships, once a common bond is no longer present, the relationship will tend to deteriorate. For example, once a child graduates from high school and moves off to college, he or she will probably lose most of the relationships formed with classmates, because school is no longer a common bond and thus there is nothing holding the relationship together. However, if your relationships are formed around a common belief in Christ, then no matter what else happens in life, as long as that common bond is still present those relationships will last. Thus, it is clear why 2 Corinthians 6:14 instructs believers not to marry unbelievers: Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? If you want to maintain lasting, stable relationships, they must be Christ-centered. Join us for LUNCH!

Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/MCT Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, from left, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell have a conversation in the hallway outside the NFL owners meeting at the Atlanta Airport Gateway Marriott in Atlanta, Georgia, Thursday. NFL owners vote for tentative deal COLLEGE PARK, Ga. (AP) — NFL owners voted overwhelmingly in favor of a tentative 10-year agreement to end the lockout, pending player approval. Thursday’s vote was 310, with the Oakland Raiders abstaining from the ratification, which came after a full day of meetings at an Atlanta-area hotel. While owners pored over the terms, Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke on the phone several times with NFL Players Association head DeMaurice Smith, including filling him in on the results of the vote before it was announced. “Hopefully, we can all work quickly, expeditiously, to get this agreement done,” Goodell said. “It is time to get back to football. That’s what everybody here wants to do.” Players still had to sign off on the deal — and they must re-establish their union quickly for the agreement to stand, the NFL said. Players didn’t vote on a full pact Wednesday because there were unresolved issues; they planned to have a conference call later Thursday. However, Smith wrote in an email to the 32 player representatives shortly after the owners’ decision: “Issues that need to be collectively bargained remain open; other issues, such as workers’ compensation, economic issues and end of deal terms, remain unresolved. There is no agreement between the NFL and the players at this time. I look forward to our call tonight.” Several players took to Twitter, expressing opposition to the proposal passed by the owners. Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark wrote: “The owners want u to believe that they have been extremely fair everywhere and this is their ‘olive branch’ to finalize it.” The four-month lockout is the NFL’s first work stoppage since 1987. One game was taken off the schedule Thursday: The exhibition opener — the Aug. 7 Hall of Fame game between Chicago and St. Louis — was canceled. “The time was just too tight,” Goodell said. “Unfortunately, we’re not going to be able to play the game this year.” Team facilities will open Saturday, and the new league year will begin Wednesday, he said — providing the players approve the agreement, too. Owners exercised an opt-out clause in the old collective bargaining agreement in 2008, setting the stage for the recent labor impasse. The new deal does not contain an opt-out clause. The old CBA expired March 11, when federally mediated negotiations fell apart, and the owners locked out the players hours later. Since then, teams have not been allowed to communicate with current NFL players; players — including those drafted in April — could not be signed; and teams did not pay for players’ health insurance. The basic framework for the league’s new economic model — including how to split more than $9 billion in annual revenues — was set up during negotiations last week. “These things, by their very nature, aren’t supposed to make you necessarily happy when you walk out the door. It was a negotiation,” Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. “I don’t mean to sound negative, but it isn’t exactly like Christmas has come along here.” Final issues involved how to set aside three pending court cases, including the antitrust lawsuit filed against the NFL in federal court in Minnesota by Tom Brady and nine other players. NFL general counsel Jeff Pash said the owners’ understanding is that case will be dismissed. One thing owners originally sought and won’t get, at least right away, is expanding the regular season from 16 games to 18. That won’t change before 2013, and the players must agree to a switch. “We heard the players loud and clear. They pushed back pretty hard on that issue,” said Atlanta Falcons president Rich McKay, chairman of the league’s competition committee. Goodell also announced that owners approved a supplemental revenuesharing system, something Smith noted in his email to team reps. “Obviously, we have not been a part of those discussions,” he wrote. Even after all acceptable terms are established, a deal would lead to a new CBA only if NFLPA team reps recommend re-establishing the group as a union, which must be approved by a majority vote of the 1,900 players. In March, when talks broke down and the old CBA expired, the NFLPA said it was dissolving itself as a union and instead becoming a trade association, a move that allowed the players to sue the league under antitrust law. But only a union can sign off on a CBA. “We think we have a fair, balanced agreement,” Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said. The deal makes significant changes in offseason workout schedules, reducing team programs by five weeks and cutting organized team activities (OTAs) from 14 to 10 sessions. There will be limited on-field practice time and contact, and more days off for players. A total of $50 million per year will go into a joint fund for medical research, health-care programs, and charities. If the players approve the deal, the NFL will go back to the business football pretty quickly: —On Saturday, teams can stage voluntary workouts at club facilities, and players may be waived. Contracts can be re-negotiated and clubs can sign draft picks and their own free agents. Teams can also negotiate with, but not sign, free agents from other clubs and undrafted rookies. —On Sunday, teams can sign undrafted rookies. —On Wednesday, the league year officially begins, so free agency opens in full, and all training camps will open with a 90-man roster limit; activities that day will be limited to physicals, meetings and conditioning. All clubs must be under the salary cap. —Players can practice without pads next Thursday and Friday. Reds can’t recapture 2010 feel CINCINNATI (AP) — On their way to their first playoff appearance in 15 years, the Cincinnati Reds did a lot of things right. A year later, they can’t even win two games in a row. And they’re starting to run out of time to get their act together. The defending NL Central champions are struggling to stay in contention with virtually the same lineup that brought home a title. Veterans Scott Rolen and Jonny Gomes haven’t played to last season’s form, problems at shortstop and left field have lingered, and the rotation has been in flux because of injuries and mononucleosis. The Reds haven’t won back-to-back games since June 14-15, a span of five stunning weeks that has left them stranded in fourth place. “You don’t like it, but you’ve got to deal with it,” manager Dusty Baker said. “You’ve just got to keep fighting and scuffling.” And hoping that a lot of very bad trends begin to change ... soon. “I think at some point, we’re going to end up playing well and winning a bunch of games,” NL MVP Joey Votto said. “But it’s just kind of how it’s been this year. It will click at some point.” The Reds had everything clicking during their season-opening homestand. They won their first five games while scoring 43 runs, their best such start since the Big Red Machine rolled through the National League. It seemed like a carry-over from 2010, when they led the league in most offensive categories. Instead, it turned out to be their high point. It quickly became apparent that it was going to be a whole different year for the same Reds roster. Cincinnati spent more than $150 million in the offseason on contract extensions for Votto, right fielder Jay Bruce, and starters Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto. They had several problem areas — shortstop and left field topped the list — but went for modest solutions that haven’t worked. They let shortstop Orlando Cabrera leave, buying out his option year rather than paying him $4 million. They tried to replace him with backup Paul Janish and newcomer Edgar Renteria. The outcome? Janish struggled and was demoted. And Renteria is hitting .232 with one homer and 14 RBIs. Gomes had the best opening half of his career in 2010, batting .277 with 11 homers and 60 RBIs at the midpoint. He tailed off in the second half, but the Reds picked up his option for $1.75 million and added Fred Lewis. Gomes has lost the starting job — he’s batting .215 with 11 homers and 31 RBIs — and Lewis has struggled as well, batting .260 with two homers and 15 RBIs. Rolen was a big part of the Reds’ surge last season, getting them on track with a huge first half.

(AP) — Sean Franklin scored in the 70th minute and Los Angeles beat the Columbus Crew 1-0, extending the Galaxy’s unbeaten streak to 13 games on Wednesday night. David Beckham’s free kick bounced off a wall of defenders and back into the middle of the pitch. Franklin, a cornerback playing in his 86th game, then hit a low shot from 25 yards out that nicked the foot of Columbus’ Eric Gehrig on the way in for his first Major League Soccer goal. “It was a good goal,” Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. “And a good time to get it.” The Galaxy (11-2-9) improved to 7-0-6 in league play since a 2-1 road loss to FC Dallas on May 1. Los Angeles has also not been defeated in any of its 11 home games. The Crew (7-6-7) were kept on the defensive with the Galaxy attempting 16 corner kicks, three shy of matching the MLS record. “There is only so much pressure you can absorb before you give up an unfortunate goal,” Columbus goalkeeper William Hesmer said. Beckham was given a yellow card in stoppage time for not attempting a free kick in a timely manner. The card was Beckham’s eighth of the season, earning him a one-game suspension. He will miss the Galaxy’s game at Vancouver on July 30. Beckham was waiting for the defenders to back up the mandatory 10 yards before he attempted the kick when referee Andrew Chapin approached him and produced the card. “It’s unfortunate because I miss the next game,” Beckham said. “It’s just another bad call by the referee.” Los Angeles goalie Josh Saunders stopped all six shots he faced to preserve his third shutout of the season. Columbus’ top goal scorer Andres Mendoza started the game but came off less than two minutes in because of a pulled hamstring. Tommy Heinemann entered in place of Mendoza, whose seven goals are fifth in the MLS. The Galaxy’s best scoring chance of the first half came in the final minute before the break. Beckham played a ball into the box that Miguel Lopez flicked on with his head. But Hesmer jumped and extended his left hand just enough to send the ball wide of the left post. Robbie Rogers threatened in the 23rd minute for the Crew, unleashing a low shot from 35 yards that forced Saunders to lay out. The ball trickled from the goalie’s hands and briefly rested near the goal before he corralled it.

(AP) — After a year that couldn’t end soon enough, one rocked by a sex scandal and divorce, a major swing change on the golf course and the loss of four major corporate sponsors off it, Tiger Woods was asked about the one constant in his career — his caddie, Steve Williams. “He’s been a heck of a caddie, there’s no doubt about that,” Woods said last December as he signed autographs. Then he stopped for a moment, looked up to make eye contact and added with emphasis, “And he’s a great friend.” Somewhere along the bumpy path, the relationship soured. Despite being one of Woods’ best friends, Williams felt like an outsider the way he was kept in the dark about Woods’ schedule and recovery from leg injuries. Woods was annoyed when his caddie of 12 years chose to work for Adam Scott at the U.S. Open, then signed up to work for the Australian again at the AT&T National and the British Open. One of golf’s most successful player-caddie partnerships ended in a board room at Aronimink Golf Club outside Philadelphia two weeks ago when Woods fired his caddie. They both kept the news private until Wednesday, when Woods announced on his website that he and Williams will no longer be working together. Williams posted a statement on his website that showed this was anything but an amicable split. “Needless to say, this came as a shock,” said Williams, who changed the photo on his website to show him carrying Scott’s bag. “Given the circumstances of the past 18 months working through Tiger’s scandal, a new coach and with it a major swing and Tiger battling through injuries, I am very disappointed to end our very successful partnership at this time.” They started at the 1999 Bay Hill Invitational and won their first major at Medinah that summer when Woods called in Williams on a crucial par putt on the 18th hole that he made to hold off Sergio Garcia. They won 72 times around the world, and 13 majors. No other caddie has experienced so many Grand Slam moments. It ended with a stock line used on so many other caddie firings. “I want to express my deepest gratitude to Stevie for all his help, but I think it’s time for a change,” Woods said said on his website. “Stevie is an outstanding caddie and a friend and has been instrumental in many of my accomplishments. I wish him great success in the future.” Woods didn’t say who would replace Williams — one of only two cad- Reds from Page B1 hit .290 with 17 homers and 57 RBIs before the break, then tailed off severely as injuries took a toll. He’s been bothered by a shoulder problem again this season, limiting him to a .242 mark with five homers and 36 RBIs. As a result, they’re getting a lot less from several spots. The pitching has been in flux because of injuries. Homer Bailey has been on the disabled list twice. Johnny Cueto went on the DL with a bum shoulder during spring training, but has a 1.98 ERA in 14 starts. Arroyo came down with mononucleosis that per- Curtis Compton/Atlanta Journal-Constitution/MCT Tiger Woods shakes hands with his caddy, Steve Williams, left, after he birdied the 18th hole during the second round of the 75th Masters at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia, on Friday, April 8. Woods is at 7-under for the tournament, three shots behind leader Rory McIlroy. dies he has employed on a regular basis — or when he might return to golf. Williams was not surprised he was let go — he wondered aloud in the spring whether it was getting stale. But he was curious about the timing of it. He stuck with Woods during the worst of it last year — “That’s what friends do,” he once said — and felt as though Woods were coming around in golf and in life until injuries intervened. “A player has the right to fire a caddie at any given time,” Williams said from his summer home in Oregon. “And for a player when he’s not playing at his best for extended period of time, it’s not uncommon to change caddies, coaches, psychologists or bring on a psychologist. We all know the business. I have no problem being fired. But I’m disappointed in the timing of it.” When asked over the weekend at the British Open if he was still working for Woods, Williams grinned and said, “Why would you ask a question like that?” He never answered the question, but gave no indication that he would not caddie for Woods when he did return. Turns out he had known for two weeks, and kept quiet out of respect for Scott. More than a caddie, Woods and Williams had been close friends. Both got engaged while on safari after The Presidents Cup in South Africa, and they were in each other’s weddings. Woods played the New Zealand Open in 2002 as a favor to Williams (he also received a $2 million appearance fee), and he took an interest in Williams’ race car driving by taking part in a celebrity race on the dirt tracks of New Zealand. The relationship began showing signs of strain after Woods crashed his car on Thanksgiving night, followed by stunning revelations of serial adultery. Despite their friendship, Williams went months without hearing anything from Woods. And it became awkward at times because Woods’ former wife and Williams’ wife were close friends. On the golf course, their body language looked different. There were some tournaments where Williams was walking 30 yards ahead of him. In recent months, Williams was feeling out of touch during Woods’ rehabilitation. He was not aware that Woods did not plan to compete in the U.S. Open until after flying to Oregon from New Zealand, where Williams lives most of the year. He declined to say whether Woods gave him a specific reason. Williams has been labeled a bully over the years while working for Woods amid a constant circus. At the 2002 Skins Game, he put a camera into the pond when a photographer snapped a picture in the middle of Woods’ swing on the final hole. At the 2004 U.S. Open, he kicked the lens of a New York Daily News photographer, and took the camera away from a fan who turned out to be an off-duty policeman. He also brought Woods undue attention toward the end of 2008 by making disparaging remarks about Phil Mickelson during a charity dinner in New Zealand, then repeating them when a reporter called for comment the following day. Woods intervened and told Williams to apologize. Williams is only the second caddie that Woods has hired on a regular basis during his 14-year career on the PGA Tour. He started with Mike “Fluff” Cowan, whom he fired after the Nissan Open at Riviera in 1999. His childhood friend, Bryon Bell, caddied for Woods when he won the Buick Invitational in 1999, and Woods gave Bell a chance to “defend” at Torrey Pines in 2000 when Woods was going for a seventh straight PGA Tour win. The other professional caddie he has used was Billy Foster at the 2005 Presidents Cup when Williams stayed home for the birth of his son. Joe LaCava, the longtime looper for Fred Couples, was supposed to work for Woods at that Presidents Cup until Couples was a captain’s pick. LaCava left Couples two months ago and now works for Dustin Johnson. There was a time that most caddies would drop everything for a chance to work for Woods, who has had 11 seasons making at least $5 million on the PGA Tour, and has twice topped $10 million in one season. The demands are far greater these days, and there is more secrecy than ever in Woods’ camp. On the course, Woods occasionally has shown signs of turning his game around — he shot 30 on the front nine at the Masters — but still has gone nearly two years without a PGA Tour win. sisted into the season — he’s 7-8 with a 5.57 ERA. Opening day starter Edinson Volquez was so ineffective that he was sent to the minors. The Reds thought hard-throwing left-hander Aroldis Chapman could help fill the setup role vacated by lefty Arthur Rhodes, but couldn’t get his 105 mph fastball over the plate. He wound up in the minors for a while, too. With all that, the Reds haven’t gotten on a surge. “There are periods when we’ve gotten poor pitching, and everybody is focused on the pitching,” Baker said. “And there are periods where you’re not hitting. It seems we just haven’t combined the two yet, and you don’t want to fall any further.” Despite the issues, they’ve managed to stay in contention. They had a chance to move into first place during the last week before the All-Star break, when they played seven games in St. Louis and Milwaukee. Closer Francisco Cordero, who had blown only two saves chances to that point, blew three straight to end those hopes and knock Cincinnati back to the fringe. Since the All-Star break, they’ve struggled to drive in runs. Twice this week, they were shut out in Pittsburgh. “I just feel like lately, we’ve been beating ourselves,” second baseman Brandon Phillips said. “There’s a lot of games we feel we should have won, but runners in scor- ing position has just been real tough for us this year. “But you know, once we start getting them runs in, I feel like nobody can beat us.” The Reds were one of baseball’s best comeback teams during their championship season, winning 22 times in their final atbat. This year, they’ve failed when the pressure’s on, going 14-22 in onerun games — the most such losses in the majors. Following a day off on Thursday, the Reds open a 10-game homestand against Atlanta, the New York Mets and San Francisco. They know that they need to finally start playing well. “It’s going to be a tough homestand, but this is our time to hopefully shine,” Baker said. �Page B4 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Lease The Gallia Co.
