REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Dislocated and long-term unemployed workers will find temporary work in a program funded through the National Emergency Grants program. The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has been awarded $16.2 million to enable 11 counties to clean up debris left by spring floods, and to employ the unemployed to do it. Chris Shank, executive director of the Department of Job and Family Services, met with Meigs County Commissioners to discuss the local program as he knows about it. He said the agency will be posting a request for proposals for an agency to operate the program. A similar program several years ago employed workers through the Gallia-Meigs Community Action Agency. Those interested in the work can apply through the OneStop Center on Mill Street but Shank said hiring will not begin for several weeks, as the proposals are not due until Sept. 6. At this time, Shank said, it is unknown how much money Meigs County will receive for workers, or how long the program will last. Meigs is one of 11 counties affected by spring storms and flooding, and workers will clean up fallen trees, brush and other debris blocking roaways, streams and rivers. Those conditions create a potential for additional flooding, according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has surveyed the damage and approved the financial assistance for cleanup. Y ETH ERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM those numbers don’t always reflect the whole picture when it comes to Meigs County’s economy. Perry Varnadoe, director of the Meigs County Office of Economic Development, said in order to put those numbers into perspective, the unemployment trend needed to be examined over time. “Our numbers are higher than we want them to be but there’s really not been any major job loss in our county,” Varnadoe said, going on to explain statistics suggest nearly 45 percent of Meigs County’s working residents earn their living outside the county, in places like Athens, Ravenswood, W.Va. and of course the power plants in Gallia County and Mason County, W.Va. “Layoffs at those facilities really impact our unemployment rates... we’re a regional economy,” he added. “Quite frankly, we’re still reeling from the closing of the BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM (Beth Sergent/photo) A new car wash is being built in Racine next to Hillʼs Gas Station. Despite high unemployment, economic development projects are continuing to spring up across the county. aluminum plant in Ravenswood where so many of our folks worked.” On a brighter note, Varnadoe said there are several economic development projects going on in the community such as the construction of the new Farmers Bank on East Main Street in Pomeroy and development on the lot next to Fruth’s Pharmacy on West Main Street - though there’s no confirmation on just what this lot will turn into, local rumors are run- ning the gamut from a movie theater to funeral home, so stay tuned. Construction is well underway on the $2.3 million Family Healthcare facility just outside of Pomeroy which will be 10,700 square feet in size. In addition, the Meigs County Community Improvement Corporation was awarded $1 million in loan and grant funding to build a new spec industrial building at Tuppers Plains. Varnadoe said earth work should be underway before winter and the building could be ready to market next summer. Earlier this year, the Ohio Department of Development announced the Development Financing Advisory Council had approved recommendation of $18.4 million in loan funding to qualified projects, including construction of the new 35,000 square-foot building in the East Meigs Industrial Park.

Pullins was arrested, along with Daniel A. Jacobo, 35, Columbus, and Steven W. Thevenin, 51, at Thevenin’s residence in the 300 Block of Skidmore Road in Bidwell on Aug. 15, following a probation search of the residence performed by deputies with the Gallia County Sheriff’s Office. Thevenin had been placed on probation through the Gallipolis Municipal Court following a guilty plea to a theft charge in July. Reportedly, deputies had been investigating the residence for possible drug trafficking activity. Jacobo was arrested for the alleged possession of 2.6 grams of crack cocaine and was arraigned in the Gallipolis Municipal Court on Aug. 16 on said charge. The defendant was scheduled to appear in the municipal court for a preliminary hearing on Wednesday. However, Jacobo filed a continu- ance with the court. Following the probation search, Thevenin was arrested and was charged with one count of illegal cultivation of marijuana and a probation violation charge. Thevenin is scheduled to appear in the municipal court on Aug. 29 for a pre-trial hearing in relation to his marijuana cultivation case and for a probation violation hearing in his theft case.

The GMCAA Board, which met this week at the Wild Horse Cafe, approved the submittal of the 2011-12 Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) grants. The funds should be available for the season beginning Nov. 1 March 31, 2012. Sandra Edwards, emergency services division director for GMCAA, reported to the Board that despite cuts in the HEAP program, she felt these cuts would be absorbed at the state level and not affect the local program. Edwards said the local program would still be allocated enough funds to service the community as it has in previous years. GMCAA Executive Director Tom Reed reported the agency is working with the Gallia and Meigs Department of Job and Family Services offices in relation to federal flood relief money for flooding in the area. He also talked about sustaining a substantial cut in the funding for Help Me Grow though funding was found through other programs to maintain staff levels Reed said he hopes families will not see much reduction in service, despite the cuts. Reed then said the agency was working with Gov. Kasich’s office to keep most of the programs that GMCAA operates for the Ohio Department of Development in a separate division when that department is reorganized this fall. Reed said he’d also been reelected to serve on the Board of Ohio Association of Community Actions, serving also as the chairperson for District 4. He was also asked, and accepted, a term to serve as the Board Chair of COAD. The Board also approved accepting the Emergency Food & Shelter Grant which allocates around $14,000 to Gallia County and $13,000 to Meigs County to assist qualifying residents with utility bills, rent and food. None of the funds have been received yet and are used for clients who are unemployed, underemployed, elderly or See GMCAA, A2 �Friday, August 26, 2011 Obituaries The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 www.mydailysentinel.com Meigs County Forecast Development From Page A1 Arthur "Art" Wilson Gray Arthur "Art" Wilson Gray, 50, of Racine, Ohio passed away on Aug.25, 2011.

That building is 32,000 square feet, and is now occupied by Remram LLC, a company that performs plastics extrusion work. In addition, Varnadoe said growth continues in Racine which has seen the $2 million Home National Bank and Dollar General Store open in the last few years. Racine is also about to celebrate its Third Annual Party in the Park Event with headliner Jake Owen who currently has a huge hit on the country charts. A new car wash is also being built next to Hill’s gas station by Mike Hill, according to Mayor J. Scott Hill. Varnadoe said there are small businesses springing up all over the county but as a whole, Meigs County reflects what’s going on around the state, in terms of economic development. “Businesses right now, especially the larger ones, are staying conservative and watching the economy...we’re fortunate to have the small business growth we have,” he said. GMCAA From Page A1 disabled and living on a fixed income. The program also helps fill gaps due to cuts in other similar programs. The Board then approved the agency becoming the fiscal agent for the Area Continuum of Care, a position which was filled by Woodland Centers. Reed also reported an upgrade of the office’s electrical system was needed in Cheshire and initial estimates were at $20-25,000. Without the upgrade, the agency cannot provide services to clients in a timely manner with much of the services now requiring applications via the Internet. Mick Davenport, chairperson of the GMCAA Board, presided over the following other business: Edwards also reported the HEAP Summer Crisis Program which began on July 1 will end on Aug. 31, or sooner, if funds are depleted. The agency received $68,000 to serve clients in both counties and to date, 407 Summer Crisis Program/HEAP customers and 54 PIPP Plus only customers have been assisted. So far, $43,174 has been obligated to electric companies and $36,281 actually paid out. The remaining balance will be paid on Sept. 1. Edwards then reported during Jan. 1 - July 31, the local United Way/United Fund Programs provided emergency assistance to 26 clients with emergencies such as home repair, medical/prescriptions, utilities, transportation, food, etc. for a total cost of $5,871. Also, AEP Ohio has allocated funds to support activities focused in the area of housing needs such as utility assistance causing health and emergency issues for AEP Ohio customers at or below 200 percent federal poverty level. GMCAA recently received this AEP funding through the Gallia County United Way in the amount of $5,169 and Meigs County United Fund in the amount of $1,636. As of July 31, nine customers in Gallia in the amount of $1,469 and seven customers in Meigs in the amount of $981 had received assistance. As for the agency’s weatherization program, Edwards said the future wasn’t looking very bright with proposed budget cuts on the horizon. The GMCAA crew has completed 378 units for the period dating July 1, 2009 - July 31, placing the crew at 101.1 percent of the unit goal under the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act program year. After numerous layoffs, the GMCAA maintains two weatherization crews and one heating crew for both counties. The total weatherization grant received is now $3 million and as of July 31, $2.9 million, or approximately 99 percent, has been obligated for payment within 25 months of the program’s start. The Energy Partnership Program staff is busy these days, according to Edwards, who said 385 clients have been served between Jan. 1 and July 31, with $455,980 having been spent. More funding is anticipated. Between Jan. 1-July 31, the agency’s medical transportation drivers had logged a total of 31,990 miles and made 663 trips, serving 224 unduplicated customers - this averages out to 4,570 miles per month. Also 28 families have been assisted by the agency’s BABES program which provides gift packages of diapers, ointment and other baby supplies at an estimated cost of $580 each to clients. Currently 23 students are enrolled in the agency’s tutoring and homework assistance program in Gallia County; the agency has also been assisting the Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services with the Ohio Works First Program where participants with required work hours are assisted through the agency for evaluation and placement on a worksite or training activity. A housing report was also given, including 75 applications having been received for the Community Housing Improvement Program for various home improvement projects.

In making the announcement of the course, Stuart said that each week class members will delve into a different topic, such as saving, debt, insurance and Investing, among others, sharing personal experiences and observations, with a question and answer session after watching a one-hour DVD teaching by Dave Ramsey. On finishing the course, according to Barber “You’ll be well on your way to completely eliminating the stranglehold debt has on your family, and building instead wealth and financial stability for your future; a future in which you can give more and more instead of borrow, and a future where your financial worries are over.” Though the first class is offered free as a preview of what’s to come, the cost of the complete course is $100. which Stuart noted should be considered a critical investment in achieving the goal of living a victorious financial life, “An investment from which you will reap continuous lifetime returns,” he adds. He recalled a key principle of the course that Dave Ramsey admonishes: “Owe nothing to anyone except love” (Romans 13:8). The $100 course investment includes a lifetime membership in Financial Peace University, along with a membership kit that contains a workbook and CD library of the 13 lessons, Ramsey’s best-selling book, budgeting forms and a cash management system, a bonus CD-ROM, and other course materials.

O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye have not gone up in the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the Lord. They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The Lord saith: And the Lord has not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word. Have ye not seen a vain vision, and have ye not spoken a lying divination, whereas ye say, The Lord saith it; Albeit I have not spoken? Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Because ye have spoken vanity, and seen lies, therefore, behold, I am against you, saith the Lord God” [Ezekiel 13:1-8]. How many times have we heard those who profess to be ministers of Jesus Christ say that “the Lord spoke to me last night, and told me to say thus-and-so”? Jesus, while speaking to Peter, James, John, and Andrew shortly before His crucifixion, stated that they should “Take heed lest any man deceive you: For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many” [Mark 13:5,6; Luke 21:8]. And, yes, many are deceived by those who say, “The Lord spoke to me.” The apostle John [who wrote down the things Jesus spoke and did, recorded in the gospel of John] wrote in 1 John 2:26, “These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce [deceive] you.” Why did the Lord not speak to those to whom John was writing? Twelve times in John’s short book, the word “write” or “written” is used. From Acts 1 through Revelation 22:21, the word “write” appears 49 times; the word “written” is found 82 times. Why do we focus on these words? It is because we have God’s will for man in written words today. Today, if any one states he received a message from God which he is to speak, do not believe him. The apostle Peter wrote, “But there were false prophets also among the people, as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction; and many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of” [2 Peter 2:1,2]. Yes, there are false teachers today. How can a searcher know what is truth, and what is not? There is only one way, and we find the answer in 2 Timothy 2:15, “Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” Can I say I am as noble as the Bereans, of whom we read in Acts 17:11b, who searched the scriptures daily? Are you as noble as the Bereans, searching the scriptures daily? Do you and I receive the word as the Bereans, with all readiness of mind, to see if what we are taught is truth?

Such thinking claims that the more you have, the more you accumulate, and the more attention you receive, the happier you'll be. Yet, most of the time, such selfishness only makes a person more depressed than ever. This is because when all you focus on is yourself, you'll always want more, and you'll never be satisfied with what you have. On the other hand, if you live focused on how you can bless others and serve them, then God will give you joy. It is no surprise, therefore, that Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). Likewise, in John 13:117 Jesus is seen washing his disciples' feet; he sets an example by humbly giving himself to his disciples. Then, in John 13:17, Jesus tells them, "Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." In other words, you will be blessed, which in the Greek has the meaning of being happy, if you give and serve others. The Bible makes it clear that joyful living requires giving. Not every good idea is a God idea. What God may tell your friend to do might be a terrible thing for you to do. For example, say you start doing something because someone else says it is a good idea, but you find it a struggle. In that case, you may be struggling because God hasn't given you the grace to do what your friend told you to do. In other words, just because other people tell you to do "good" things, doesn't necessarily mean you should. Furthermore, if God instructs you to do something, be assured that His plan is better than any other plan you could have. For example, God's plan for Jonah was for him to "go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it" (Jonah 1:2). However, Jonah didn't like that, and so he came up with his own idea: Jonah ran away from the Lord and headed for Tarshish (Jonah 1:3). To Jonah, running away to Tarshish seemed like a much better plan than traveling to Nineveh. ATTEND THE CHURCH A Hunger for More BY THOM MOLLOHAN Who are you? Seriously… who are you?

Chances are really good that your first response to these questions is any of these three: 1) stunned silence (“Uh-h-h”); 2) stammered exclamations as you try to articulate the fragments of ideas that are popping into your mind (“Well, um… naturally I feel that I, uh… that is to say…”); or 3) stilted statements that don’t really jive with what the One who made us has to say about who and what we are (“I’m the MAN!” or “I’m such a loser: nobody likes me; everybody hates me. Guess I’ll go eat worms”). Not knowing who you are is a crisis. Men and women experience a cognitive form of that when they literally forget their own names, their addresses, and their loved ones as cruel dementia dims their minds. Christians experience something spiritually akin to this when they’ve either forgotten or are ignorant of the incredible identity change that is theirs when they turn to Jesus in faith, are forgiven of their sin, and are made spiritually new. In a very similar way, if we have not yet met Christ (by which I mean, if we have not personally trusted Him as our Savior and invited Him into our lives) we have an identity crisis of another kind. On the one hand, God’s Word (the Bible) paints us as people hopelessly separated from the Holy Creator of the universe. Having either obviously or subtly transgressed His Law, we are incapable of conjuring up enough righteousness for ourselves in order to be accepted into His presence. Refusing to place our faith in Jesus’ work on the cross leaves us with a grim future indeed. “Our destiny is destruction, our god is our stomach, and our glory is in our shame. Our minds are on earthly things” (from Philippians 3:19). On the other hand, this Thom Mollohan same Bible paints God as being filled with compassion and sorrow over our estate and not content to leave the matter be. “…The present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men” (2 Peter 2:7 NIV), but we have hope in the fact that “the Lord… is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9b NIV). God’s amazing compassion for humanity is keenly evident when Jesus, God’s Son, confronts those who are spiritually “lost” about Him. Comparing such “lost persons” to lost sheep and Himself to a “Good Shepherd”, Jesus lets us know in no uncertain terms that He is searching out the lost in order to bring them safely home – home… a sweet daily fellowship with Him as well as an everlasting destiny prepared for us by His side (see also John 10:1-18). On the day that I realized who I was apart from Jesus (a lost person, reserved for destruction) I also realized that I could become someone new, complete with a new identity, a new purpose, and a new destiny. “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade – kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power….” (1 Peter 1:3-5a NIV). So… if you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ, do you really know who you are? Do you know that you are a citizen of heaven (Ephesians 2:19)? A conqueror (Romans 8:37)? A child of God (Romans 8:14, 1 John 3:1)? Members of a Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God. Matthew 5:8 OF YOUR CHOICE 209 Third St. Racine, OH AND URGE Hills Self Storage TO DO THE SAME “royal priesthood and a holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9)? If you know that you are all these things, how does your life demonstrate that knowledge? If you are really confident that He is truly master of your identity and has made a new person of you, do you then live accordingly? Or are you defeated, broken, and enslaved still to worldly patterns of thinking? Are you convinced that you have no value and are unimportant in the grand scheme of things? If so, allow God’s truth to dispel such lies and set your mind and your spirit free. You have unimaginable worth! Just consider what it cost God to set you free from the prison of sin and its dreadful offspring, death! God would not have given His own Son up for you if it were true that your life were not important to Him! “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by His wounds you have been healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls” (1 Peter 2:24-25 NIV). And if you haven’t yet turned your eyes to Jesus and allowed Him to wash you free from sin and make a new person of you, it is good to know that He can and will set you free from your destiny of destruction if only you’ll let Him come into your life as Lord. “… If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. As the Scriptures say, ‘Anyone who trusts in Him will never be put to shame’” (Romans 10:9-11 NIV).

THOMAS JOHNSON Like anyone else, I appreciate the occasional compliment. As you can see by the picture which accompanies my articles, I’m not exactly what you might call “good-looking.” Since neither my wife nor our two daughters are liars or inclined to exaggerate, I have no illusions whatsoever that I am endowed by my Creator with anything even remotely resembling a handsome appearance. I feel blessed just to get their approval for wearing a tie which matches the shirt I have on! For a fact, however, I pity those who depend on compliments, accolades, and/or the affirmation of others on a regular basis, as if that is what sustains them. It’s been my observation certain people crave public recognition; their ego demands it, even lusts for it. Everything they do is ego-driven: they like it, love it, and want more of it! Such recognition gives life to politicians who, because of what they are about, need it to be elected. Beyond that, they are driven to do whatever is necessary to maintain a favorable degree of public recognition in order to stay in office, term after term after term, etc. It has also been most grievous to me that many pseudo-political types and politician “wanna-be’s” have infiltrated our churches, and always to the detriment of the local Body of Christ. This poses a real danger when the constituents of that body are spiritually immature, for they tend to readily embrace such newcomers as some sort of godsent, quasi-saviors. Am I right? Or, am I right?!? I am — 100 percent so. There is but one Lord, and those who Thomas Johnson exalt others in His stead insult Him and the One who sent Him. When our children were younger, my wife would engage them in “sword drills.” No, not fencing. Rather, this exercise had to do with memorizing and reciting Bible verses. This is something many Christians no longer practice; it’s become passé. Even so, something not done isn’t necessarily a good thing; ignorance of Scripture only serves to make the Devil’s vile work easier for him to accomplish— and God forbid we aid and abet the Enemy. The Devil doesn’t need, let alone deserve, our help! But, my friends: how informed about Scripture are you? Do you believe “the end justifies the means?” That “God helps those who help themselves?” Were I to say “God works in mysterious ways,” would you agree? Would you give me an “Amen” if I said, “cleanliness is next to Godliness”? You may believe these sayings, and others of this same ilk, but you have NO Scriptural basis for doing so! In other words, it’s all nonBiblical nonsense! Of course, someone reading this may believe “good” Christians aren’t likely to suffer any hardships, or have serious problems. Other Christians might think certain people can never be forgiven, that God completely ignores some prayers, and that God’s love is meant to be earned. Lies, lies, and more lies! Wrap your mind around this truism: the more ignorant a Christian is of Scripture, the more liable he or she is to become the Devil’s food. As I shared with my congregation this past Sunday, not knowing what the Biblical says about money—their ignorance of one word, in particular (1 Timothy 6:10)—cost a whole lot of people some $40 million over the past 20 years! The victims were swindled by a family of fortune tellers, who promised their clients a multitude of afflictions, illnesses, catastrophes, etc., etc., unless they purged themselves of their various financial assets. DUH! What’s bizarre is that even Christians sometimes frequent fortune tellers; not content to walk by faith, for “insight” they go to those the Old Testament explicitly condemned! My, my, my—the desperate lengths some go to secure for their insecure egos the “control” they obsess about. Control: for certain individuals a craving as powerful as that of an alcoholic’s for another drink, as that of a drug addict’s for his next high. It never ceases to amaze me, even as it pains me to realize how much control people want, and will go to extremes to get. I only wish it weren’t so in churches but, God knows, it is. Control: those who want it the most deserve it the least, and ought not to have it at all! “Blessed are the meek,” said Jesus (Mt. 5:5). There is only one God; none of us is Him! You may have great dreams for your future, but if you fill your future with junk from your past, then you'll never fulfill your dreams. Therefore, like the Israelites, after a certain period of time, you must decide to forget what is behind and press on toward the things that are ahead. BY PASTOR RON BRANCH If a player on a football team is not trying very hard, that particular player is going to be confronted either by the coach or other team members. A team needs every player to exert maximum effort if the team is going to win games. By way of comparison, has it ever occurred to you that church members should be willing to challenge one another to fulfill spiritual expectations? The body of Christ can only generate maximum fruitfulness when each member is fulfilling expectations. Some church members need to be challenged with this Scriptural ideal in much the same way the Apostle Paul challenged the members of the local church in Colossae. Paul knew what the expectations of Jesus Christ were for those claiming to be Christians, and Paul clearly promoted those same expectations. He wrote that he was praying diligently for them and that he was asking God for each member to carefully and faithfully fulfill certain spiritual expectations. Paul cited four expectations by which he challenged the members. First, Paul challenged each member to be saturated “with the knowledge of His will.” This is a critical challenge for each Christian to consider and to constantly strive to incorporate in their lives, because full cognizance of the will of God is not only imperative but also expected. But, he qualified that full knowledge of the will of God should come as a result of “spiritual Ron Branch understanding.” Spiritual understanding involves the ability to correctly discern when self-will is what is being relied on rather than the actual will of God. So many say, “Do what your heart says.” God help us! Christians need to be challenged to seek expression of what God says His will is rather than fall prey to the deceitfulness of the heart. Second, Paul challenged the Colossae church members to deliberately demonstrate a Christian walk “worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing.” It is absolutely saddening how so many church members live their lives unworthy and unpleasing to the Lord. The Lord Jesus openly demonstrated how we should live as Christians, and it was Paul that further challenges us “to be imitators of Christ.” If we want to be in personal possession of the salvation of God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, then we should consider it our personal responsibility to daily embrace the challenge of demonstrating the principles and spiritual expectations of Christ-like living for the Lord’s honor and glory. Paul further challenged the Colossae church members to be determined not to quit or to let down. Consistent Christian living and service in the church are definite challenges, but certainly possible with “patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.” Longsuffering is selfrestraint in the face of provoking circumstances. God is the supreme example of longsuffering. Patience, on the other hand, involves an unwillingness to not surrender in adverse circumstances or to succumb to trial and tribulation. The challenge is that we need both longsuffering and patience because Christian life and service are not easy. Having the right attitude helps, too — joyfulness. Despite circumstances, joyfully keep on keeping on. The final expectation involves abiding appreciation for what God has done for us through Christ. Appreciative people are loyal people. According to Paul, we are challenged to be constantly appreciative that God through Christ has rendered us fit for Heaven, He has rescued us “from the power of darkness,” He has relocated us “into the Kingdom of His dear Son, and He has redeemed us by Christ’s blood and forgiven our sins. You cannot beat it with a stick! Thank God for His unspeakable gift! On the basis of God’s Word, these expectations are what I expect of you, and what you should expects from me that together within the ranks of our respective churches we live faithfully and serve fruitfully in the name of Jesus Christ. Sometimes when there is let down, we need to challenge and at times be challenged. There is nothing wrong and everything right to do so and be so. The dreams of your future have no room for the devastations of your past When Aaron, the brother of Moses, died, the entire house of Israel mourned for him thirty days (Numbers 20:29). However, after those thirty days, the time of mourning was over, and the Israelites had to move on with life. There is a great lesson in this: you must push beyond the past in order to enter the future -- a future filled with great things God has planned for you. The Apostle Paul knew this, which is why he wrote, One thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:13-14). Stand From Victory, Not For Victory BY ALEX COLON God does not need you to defeat the devil today. Jesus has already done it and given you the victory. (Colossians 2:15, Romans 8:37) Your part is to enforce the victory by simply standing your ground, which is victory ground. In other words, you “fight” from victory ground by standing. You don’t fight for victory In Ephesians 6:10–18, the passage on spiritual warfare, the word “wrestle” appears only once (verse 12), while the word “stand” appears four times — “stand against the wiles of the devil”, “withstand in the evil day”, “having done all, to stand”, “Stand therefore”. Four times the Holy Spirit tells us to stand. Yet, many Christians are focusing on wrestling their way to victory! It is important to realize and believe that you Alex Colon are already on victory ground. You already have everything in Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:21, 23) You are already blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3). The devil knows this. And that is why his tactic is to deceive you and make you think that you don’t have the victory So when he attacks you by saying, “Look at that small sum in your bank account! How are Low Cost and Value are smart decisions, especially in this economy. Cremeens Funeral Home 823 Elm St., Racine 740-949-3210 Funeral, Cremation and Pre Arrangement Services Jay Cremeens, Nathan King - Directors you going to pay the bills?” stand your ground. Declare, “I am not trying to be prosperous, I am prosperous! In Christ, I am Prosperous!” It doesn’t matter how much you have in the bank. You are prosperous because you are in Christ. And as the need arises, the supply will be there as you believe and declare that you are already prosperous in Christ. It is the same with healing. The devil will try to attack you with symptoms in your body. He will try to put pain in your body, and make you feel weak in body and in your mind, so that you think that you are still sick. He is trying to make you believe that you don’t have your healing. The truth might be that you are ill. However, that is the time to be conscious of Jesus’ finished work and declare, “I am not trying to get healed, I am healed! I am standing on the victory ground which Jesus has given me!” “Because by His scourging I am healed”! Excavation work includes: Driveways, Land Clearing, Ponds, Trenching, Reclamation, & Much More!

So think about this. When you became a Believer in Christ and turned your life over to Him, you became “sozo” “saved.” Meaning, your “salvation packet” came with spiritual/eternal salvation, healing, prosperity, and much more. Jesus did not give you a partial salvation – but a full, whole, and complete salvation from all sin. What a mighty God we serve! Remember to Stand your ground and fight from victory and not for victory! The Victory IS yours! Make it a Great Victory Day! (Rev.

University in Ohio finds more bedbugs in dorm COLUMBUS (AP) — A university in Ohio has found more bedbugs in its newest residence hall and has moved a few students, including one who's staying in a hotel. Ohio Dominican University in Columbus earlier this week treated five suites infested with the pests at Lynam Hall. The Columbus Dispatch reports Thursday (http://bit.ly/oETAGH ) that dogs that sniff for bedbugs later detected them in a dozen additional rooms. A company is working to kill the insects by heating the rooms to more than 120 degrees. The university temporarily put up four students in a hotel. Three have since returned to campus, where other students affected by the bedbugs have been moved to other housing. Ohio Dominican officials say they're not sure how or when the bedbugs got into the dorm.

He’s not exactly certain how that’s supposed to feel. “I think I do,” he said Thursday as his team winds up preseason workouts and now begins preparing for its opener on Sept. 3 against Akron. He does know that being in charge adds to the pressure. “I guess you have a broader spectrum of worries, so to speak, but that’s just me by nature,” he said. “I’m a guy that’s always looking maybe to see how can we get better and not really ever satisfied with what we have.” Fickell was elevated earlier this summer from the defensive assistant’s job he had held for nine years. He took the place of Jim Tressel who resigned in the wake of a NCAA scandal over players getting cash and free tattoos for signed memorabilia. It’s been a relatively crisis-free month of practices for Fickell. Sure, there are a world of questions about the transition atop the program, what was unearthed during the monthslong investigation and how much the NCAA will penalize Ohio State for the violations by Tressel and several players. Even though those dark clouds have hovered over the program throughout the dog days of summer, Fickell chooses to look at them as something that has bonded his players. POMEROY, Ohio — For the second time this week the Meigs and Eastern girls golf teams faced off at Kountry Hills Golf Course in Meigs County. Once again, it was the Lady Marauders who claimed victory during the match on Wednesday afternoon. Meigs defeated the Lady Eagles by a score of 231-279, improving to 20 on the season. The Lady Marauders Alyssa Cremeans took medalist honors for the match with a round of 49. Cremeans was followed by Jennifer Robinson with a 55, Natalie Michael with a 62 and Harley Fox with a 65. Also playing for the Lady Marauders were Rachel Bauer (69) and Kerri Moon (71). Samantha Cline led the Lady Eagles with a 58, followed by Cassidy Cleland with a 59, Grace Edwards with a 60 and Hannah Hawley with a 71. Both teams will face Wellston in a tri-match on Monday at Fairgreens Golf Course in Wellston. Ex-Toledo player pleads guilty in bribery probe Jonathan Quilter/Columbus Dispatch/MCT Luke Fickell, seen in this file photo from September 2, 2010, is the new head football coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes after the removal of Jim Tressel. “With adversity and with different things that happened, it brings you tighter together,” he said. “That’s the one thing you could truly say: The effort level, the energy level, is something that we’ve been excited about.” The Buckeyes have begun to accept him as something more than a stopgap coach. “Having coach Fickell under (Tressel) for so many years there are similarities but some differences,” punter Ben Buchanan said. “Coach Fickell is a very intense coach and a coach we’re really excited to play for. I know he fires me up every day to go to practice.” There have been few dramatic changes in the daily routine, but that doesn’t mean everything is exactly the same as it was during Tressel’s 10 years in Columbus. “Coach Tressel laid the foundation and coach Fickell picked up with that,” linebacker Storm Klein said. “He wants to establish himself as the head coach this year. We’re doing things a little bit different, the meetings are shorter. He’s doing some things to make it his own camp and the players really like that.” Fickell is faced with having to replace half of the Buckeyes starters from last year’s team, including replacing three-year starting quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Fickell confirmed on Thursday that what was a four-man battle for the job has now been reduced to 25-year-old, fifth-year senior Joe Bauserman and true freshman Braxton Miller. Fickell, 38, said he’d have no problems going with two quarterbacks. “If you think that’s what’s best for the team, then that’s what you go with,” the former Ohio State nose tackle said. “You could go back to ‘96, when I was here, our senior year, we had a two-quarterback system and it worked. Whatever fits the team. You’ve got to give guys opportunity to see what they’ll do in front of 106,000 and how they accept that responsibility. That might be what we’re after.” Even though the competition has been narrowed to two candidates, that doesn’t mean Fickell is ready to declare a frontrunner. “I don’t know that we’re ready to truly to say, ‘Hey, this is yours,’” he said. “We want them both to compete and we want both of those guys to understand that we need them. “Whatever way that is, we’re going to need them.” DETROIT (AP) — A former University of Toledo football player pleaded guilty Thursday in a sports-bribery investigation, admitting he accepted more than $2,000 from a Detroitarea gambler, including $500 to fumble the ball in a 2005 bowl game. Quinton Broussard became the fourth former Rocket to plead guilty in the point-shaving probe, which included football and basketball roughly from 2004 through 2006. He said he told Ghazi “Gary” Manni about team injuries and other confidential information in exchange for “small amounts of money.” But Broussard also admitted that the bribes affected his play. He said he intentionally fumbled against Texas-El Paso in the 2005 GMAC Bowl. Nonetheless, Toledo easily won the game, 45-13. Outside court, the 27year-old Dallas man declined to talk about the fumble or why he took money. �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, August 26, 2011 Big Blacks beat Huskies, 6-1 BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM CLENDENIN, W.Va. — After an early tie, the Point Pleasant boys soccer team scored five unanswered goal for the 6-1 victory over Herbert Hoover. Point Pleasant led early with a goal at the five minute mark. Josh Parsons scored on a oneon-one with the goal keeper with the assist from Hristian Lenkov. At the 6:45 mark, Herbert Hoover’s Brandon Slack scored to GAHS golfers tie school-record at Wellston BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM WELLSTON, Ohio — Gallia Academy tied school history Wednesday night during a 17-stroke victory over host Wellston in a nonconference dual match at Fairgreens Country Club in Jackson County. The Blue Devils had five of their six golfers fire sub-40 rounds en route to posting a team score of 144, which matches the lowest team tally in the program’s history — a school mark set back in 1999. GAHS also recorded six of the top nine individual scores on the day while improving their season record to 41-0 in 10 matches. The Blue Devils have won eight of those contests on the road and have also had three sub-150 team scores in their last four outings. Nick Saunders led the Blue and White with a 2under par round of 34, earning the senior medalist honors on the day. Saunders had a bogeyfree day with two birdies and seven pars over the 9-hole event. Rob Canady was next with an even par 36, while Boeing Smith and Corey Arthur rounded out the GAHS team score with matching 37s. Brady Curry and Derrick Gilmore added respective efforts of 39 and 42 for the Devils. The host Rockets — who posted a team score of 161 — were led by Blake Downard with a 37, followed by Thomas Scaggs with a 39 and Hunter Riepenhoff with a 42. Nick Derrow rounded out the WHS team score with a 43. Lane Bunnell and Cory Hanson added respective rounds of 47 and 67 for the hosts.

Bonecutter added two more goals of his own at the 52 and 54 minute marks. Lenkov assisted on the first and Parsons on the second goal. Point Pleasant had 16 shots on goal in the game to just five for Herbert tie the game at one. The Big Blacks added two more goals on penalty kicks by Lenkov and Ryan Bonecutter at the 15 and 35 minute marks. Steve Porter scored for Point Pleasant at the 42 minute mark on a rebound off the crossbar memory. Jackson scored 71 of a possible 72 points (points were awarded on a 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis from first place to sixth) to take the mantle as preseason favorite. The panel, comprised of newspaper, radio and Internet personnel who cover all six SEOAL schools installed Logan (49 points) second, not far ahead of third-place Portsmouth (43), followed by Gallipolis (39), Chillicothe (30) and Warren (20). To show the uncertainty surrounding the SEOAL race this season, four schools were forecast to finish in as many as five different slots. Runner-up Logan was named first on one ballot but was also tabbed for second on four others, third on three, fourth on three and fifth on one. Uncertainty also surrounded third-place BY CRAIG DUNN SPECIAL TO OVP LOGAN, Ohio — Last fall, with Logan riding a streak of sixstraight Southeastern Ohio Athletic League football titles, only one area media prognosticator picked against the Chieftains. That person correctly picked Jackson, which went on to claim the 2010 title. This season, out of a dozen media who took part in The Logan Daily News’ annual pre-season football poll, 11 of them stuck with the defending champion Ironmen while the other picked the Chieftains, who placed fourth last fall. Jackson is thus the overwhelming favorite in the six-team SEOAL this fall, although most agree the race for the 2011 championship could be one of the most balanced in recent Portsmouth (three second-place votes, five thirds, one fourth, two fifths and one sixth), fourth-place Gallipolis (three seconds, two thirds, three fourths, three fifths and one sixth) and fifth-place Chillicothe (one second, two thirds, two fourths, four fifths and three sixths). Only Warren (three fourth-place votes, two fifths and seven sixths) did not receive a firstdivision ballot. Jackson (6-0 in 2010) broke the Chiefs’ 34game SEOAL winning streak with a 49-28 victory in week four last fall and never looked back, although the Ironmen did have a close call late in the season with a harrowing 15-14 win over Chillicothe. Chillicothe (4-2) and Gallipolis (4-2) tied for second place last season, followed by Logan (3-3), Portsmouth (2-4), Warren (1-5) and Marietta (1-5). Marietta is no longer in the SEOAL, having moved to the East Central Ohio League this fall. Some of the key games to look for include Jackson at Logan (week four), Logan at Gallipolis and Portsmouth at Jackson (week six), Gallipolis at Portsmouth (week eight), Portsmouth at Logan (week nine) and Gallipolis at Jackson (week 10). The SEOAL’s complete single round-robin schedule begins in week four this season. Each team has non-league games scheduled in spots vacated by the departure of Marietta and Ironton over the last two seasons. Starting next fall, league play begins in week six, with three conference games each week. Craig Dunn is the sports editor of the Logan Daily News in Logan, Ohio. Indians barely hanging on CLEVELAND (AP) — Manager Manny Acta and several of the Cleveland Indians spent part of a much-needed day off bowling for charity. They could use a helping hand — or two. With injuries taking their toll and their pitching staff dragging, the Indians are quickly fading from contention in the AL Central. Their unexpected season has taken a dramatic turn for the worse. They’ve lost six of seven games and entered Thursday trailing first-place Detroit by six games. In less than a week, the Indians slipped 4 1-2 games in the standings, a plunge they may never recover from. “This week is not going to make or break us — hopefully,” said Indians pitcher Josh Tomlin, who failed to pitch five innings for the first time in his career in a loss on Wednesday to Seattle. “What happened to us, it can happen to anybody.” But it’s all the other things that have happened to the Indians that will make it extremely tough for them to get back into the race. There may not be a team in the majors that has suffered as many costly injuries as Cleveland. For Thursday’s series finale with the Mariners, Acta had only three players — Carlos Santana, Matt LaPorta and Jack Hannahan — who were in his lineup on opening day. The Indians are a shell of what they were early this season, when they got off to a 30-15 start as baseball’s biggest surprise. They’re not the same. Outfielder Shin-Soo Chris Sweda/Chicago Tribune/MCT Cleveland Indians player Jason Donald, right, is congratulated by a teammate after scoring on a single by Jack Hannahan in the second inning of a baseball game against the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, Illinois, on Wednesday, Aug. 17. Choo joined a long list of injured players on Wednesday, when he was scratched with a sore back. Choo got hurt checking his swing in Tuesday’s game and said it bothered him while warming up in the indoor cages. The loss of Choo , who homered twice the previous day, was another blow to a batting order missing Travis Hafner (foot), Grady Sizemore (knee), Michael Brantley (wrist) and Jason Kipnis (hamstring). Bailey misses on a couple of pitches, Reds lose the plate and the ball on Lopez was supposed to be up and it wasn’t quite up enough. Other than that he threw the ball great.” Bailey wanted to pitch the eighth with the score tied at 3, but with 102 pitches, Baker elected to go with reliever Jose Arrendondo. Arrendondo (3-4) gave up a triple Emilio Bonifacio and a single to Omar Infante before Bill Bray allowed a two-run double to Greg Dobbs for the lead. “That eighth inning we didn’t make very good pitches,” Baker MIAMI (AP) — Two pitches were the difference between a good and a great outing for Cincinnati Reds starter Homer Bailey. Bailey issued home runs to Logan Morrison and Jose Lopez in the third inning, accounting for all three of his earned runs in seven innings, a 6-5 loss to the Florida Marlins in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday. “Those two balls cost him,” Reds manager Dusty Baker said. “The ball to Morrison was supposed to be outside and it came back over Clark’s Jewelry Store Great Gift Ideas Specializing In: Custom Design • Jewelry & Watch Repair Insurance Appraisals Hump Day Lunch Day 20. each 133 Court Street, Pomeroy 740-992-2054 Huskies had one.

(AP) — With the not-sosubtle shape of a stock car under cover just in front of her and spotlights glaring in her face, Danica Patrick feigned drama for an announcement everyone already knew was coming. “For breaking news that will shock the world ...,” she said facetiously on Thursday. Peeling the lid off the worst-kept secret in auto racing, Patrick ended months of skirting questions about her future by officially declaring her plans to leave IndyCar in 2012 to race a full Nationwide season for JR Motorsports and a part-time Sprint Cup schedule with StewartHaas Racing. One of the most marketable stars in auto racing, Patrick had been rumored to be headed to NASCAR even before she ran her first stock race, the ARCA series event at Daytona in 2010. Even while racing limited Nationwide schedules the past two years for Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s team, Patrick had deflected talk of her leaving IndyCar for the fenders of NASCAR. That all changed, at least officially, when she signed a contract with GoDaddy.com chairman Bob Parsons in front of TV cameras and a few dozen cheering company employees on Thursday. “If it was about money, I’d have gone a long time ago,” Patrick said from GoDaddy’s offices in north Scottsdale. “I just go where my heart tells me, where my gut tells me to go, where I’m enjoying my life the most, where I feel like I can have the most success. I’ve truly enjoyed my experience in NASCAR, to the point that I want to do it full- time.” Patrick will run most of her races in the lower-tier Nationwide Series with only a handful of Sprint Cup races, but her switch to NASCAR should be a big boost to a sport that’s been hurt by a sagging economy and a dip in popularity from its heyday just a few years back. With her telegenic looks, mass appeal, not to mention racy Super Bowl ads, Patrick brings something that’s hard to come by: star power. “We are pleased Danica Patrick has chosen to race full time in NASCAR in 2012,” NASCAR chairman and CEO Brian France said in a statement. “She has demonstrated a strong desire to compete and NASCAR provides the best opportunity to race against the top drivers in the world with the largest and most loyal fan base in motorsports on a week-to-week basis. Danica has shown solid improvement in NASCAR and we believe her decision to run full time in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, with additional races in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, will be exciting for our fans and a great challenge for her.” On the other side of the wheel, Patrick’s decision leaves a big void in IndyCar. The series has made some big strides under the direction of CEO Randy Bernard, who has aggressively reshaped the sport with innovative marketing approaches. But for all the successes IndyCar has had, Patrick is still arguably the sport’s biggest star — certainly it’s most recognizable — and losing her will likely put a dent in the sport’s momentum. “Danica has always been a great ambassador for IndyCar, and there is no doubt she has left a positive impression on our sport,” Bernard said in a statement. “She has touched millions of fans and many that were new to motorsports. Danica attracted a fan base that every athlete and sports property in the world would love to have. We should give her a great farewell the rest of this season as she opens a new page in her career and wish her continued success with her new direction.” Patrick has run 20 races in two years with JR Motorsports and has five more on the schedule this season. She plans to run between eight and 10 Sprint Cup races with Stewart-Haas, with an eye on a full season in 2013. Patrick would like to race at the Daytona 500, though the team hasn’t mapped out where she’ll start or which races will fill out the schedule this year, and didn’t rule out another run at the Indianapolis 500 — even after Andretti Autosport announced it had reached a mutual agreement to part ways with her after the 2011 season. “We’re thrilled with Danica Patrick’s decision to join us for the 2012 season and looking forward to seeing her behind the wheel of a NASCAR Nationwide Series car on a consistent basis,” said Matt Jauchius, chief marketing and strategy officer for Nationwide Insurance. “Her presence will continue to make our Series stronger and more competitive. She has proven to raise awareness levels of our sport, sponsors and competitors; and that’s good for everyone involved.” Patrick will leave IndyCar after a decent run. She became the first Dario Ayala/Canwest News Service/MCT Godaddy.com driver Danica Patrick stands by her car before the start of the second practice round for the NAPA Auto Parts 200 NASCAR Nationwide Series at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal, Canada, last Friday. woman to win an IndyCar race at Japan in 2008 and was the first to lead the Indy 500, when she did it in 2005 — the same year she earned the pole at Kansas. Patrick also had a high finish of third at the Brickyard in 2009 on her to way to a career-best fifth in the season standings. Patrick is currently 12th in the IndyCar standings, with seven top-10 finishes. “The thing you see in Danica right away is how determined she is to be good at what she does,” Stewart-Haas owner Tony Stewart said. “She’s very dedicated to taking the time and effort to make the transition from Indy cars to stock cars. She has talent, she has the right mindset, and she has the proper drive and determination. It doesn’t matter who it is you’re looking for, those are the key attributes that you look for in a driver, and Danica’s got them.” Patrick had a sharp learning curve when she first started racing stock cars, but has gained ground this year. After that first ARCA race at Daytona, she struggled with the nuances of the Nationwide car, her best finish a 19th at Homestead with an average finish of 28th. Patrick has been much smoother this season, posting three top-10 finishes, with a career-best of fourth at Las Vegas — the best finish by a woman at a national NASCAR race. She’s made good progress as a part-time driver and expects to get better with a full-time shot. “I feel like in the last year, I’ve really come around much more on the track and the top-10s are happening much more frequently,” Patrick said. “I feel like I’m getting it more and more all the time. I still have a lot to learn, that’s for sure, but I really feel confident that I can be successful in the future.” �Friday, August 26, 2011 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS MUTTS The Daily Sentinel • Page B5 www.mydailysentinel.com Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 26, 2011: This year, go within before acting.

As a result, Busch’s North Carolina driver’s license was revoked for 45 days, he was given one year of unsupervised probation, a $1,000 fine and 30 hours of community service. A state driver’s license is not required to compete in a NASCAR-sanctioned event. ON SECOND THOUGHT ... Denny Hamlin and crew chief Mike Ford have decided to switch engines. Following this weekend’s Bristol race, the No. 11 team will use Toyota Racing Development engines exclusively, shunning in-house Joe Gibbs Racing powerplants. Hamlin finished 35th after cutting a tire and hitting the wall at Michigan. Meanwhile, Hamlin’s teammate, Kyle Busch, won at Michigan with a JGR engine. GOING THE WRONG WAY Carl Edwards fell from the top two in NASCAR’s championship point standings for the first time since his 28th-place run at Phoenix in the season’s second race. After his 36th at Michigan, Edwards dropped from first to third in the standings, 39 points behind Kyle Busch. BONZER OF A WEEK! Last week was a banner one for Marcos Ambrose. The Australia native won at two road courses — Watkins Glen in the Cup Series and Montreal in the Nationwide Series — after narrowly missing victory on a number of occasions at the two historic tracks in year’s past. The joy was short-lived, however, after he finished 27th on Michigan’s two-mile oval. 2 3 4 1. Kyle Busch 2. Jimmie Johnson 3. Jeff Gordon 4. Brad Keselowski 5. Carl Edwards 6. Matt Kenseth 7.

Clint Bowyer Just off the lead pack: Jeff Gordon Disposing of the Competition Kyle Busch muscles to Win No. 4 of 2011, assumes points lead By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor There was no fuel mileage or weather-related strategy involved in the Pure Michigan 400 at Michigan International Speedway — only pure, unadulterated horsepower. And Kyle Busch had the most of it, pulling away from Jimmie Johnson on a green-whitechecker restart to win his fourth NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race of 2011, and in the process, take the lead in the championship standings. Of course, the first order of business for Busch was disposing of Johnson, whose ascension to the top of the pylon was a fortuitous one. He was the first driver to make his regularly scheduled pit stop under green flag conditions with 32 laps remaining. As he exited his stall, the yellow flag was displayed, and when the rest of the lead lap cars hit pit road under caution, Johnson assumed the lead. He held that position — followed by Busch — after the green waved until a hard-charging Busch passed the five-time champion with 18 laps remaining. Busch drove away from there, but was drawn back to the field when his brother, Kurt, blew a tire and hit the Turn 1 wall with four laps to go. Under the ensuing caution, the top 8, including Busch, Johnson, Brad Keselowski, Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin and Jeff Gordon, stayed on the track while a number of cars — led by eighth-place Ryan Newman — hit pit road for tires. No amount of new tires, yellow flags or green-white-checker restarts would stop Busch, though. He dusted Johnson at the line when the green waved and walked away for a .568-second victory.

Three top-3 finishes in a row — highlighted by the Michigan win — and heading to Bristol, where he’s won four of the last five Cup races. To those harping about how Johnson is ripe for the taking, take notice that he has only six finishes worse than 11th (in 23 races) thus far this year and sits second in the point standings. The four-timer champ has averaged a seventh-place finish since the calendar turned to June. And in this point system — even more than the last — consistency is key. The Keselowski Express rolls on with a third-place showing at Michigan on the heels of first- and second-place showings. Is he a title contender? Let’s not go there yet, but man, is he turning heads. A stalwart atop the Horsepower Rankings throughout the season, Edwards’ performance was supposed to improve after he re-signed with Jack Roush, not plateau off in mediocrity. Led a largely-disappointing Roush contingent at Michigan — one that saw teammate Greg Biffle win he pole and lead the most laps. But the end, Kenseth’s 10th was the best Uncle Jack could muster. Newman is very quietly putting together a solid season. He’s no Kyle Busch, but if things continue along the current path, he could make a respectable showing in the championship standings. Harvick has been awful quiet lately. Too quiet, in fact. Makes me wish for the days of his grandstanding with Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle, Ricky Rudd, Carl Edwards ... am I leaving anyone out? Wonder if, after 38th- and 34th-place runs, Kurt is wishing he was still behind the wheel of the Miller Lite Dodge? After all, his scripted sponsor plugs worked better then. Kind of. Junior sits 10th not because of his impressive performances, but because no one else has wrested it away from him. And at this point, that wouldn’t be hard to do. Showing real signs of speed the last few weeks — and there’s still time to sneak into this Chase. His cars aren’t handling right, he’s frustrated and on the Chase bubble. NASCAR media beware! Sometimes you get the feeling Denny gets inside his own head. At least he’s qualifying better these days ... Somehow still hanging in at 11th in the standings, which may speak to the competition down there. AJ Allmendinger, Marcos Ambrose, Kasey Kahne, Paul Menard, Martin Truex Jr. I ASP, Inc. Kyle Busch prepares to take a bow to the assembled Michigan crowd following his win in the Pure Michigan 400. “I saw the 2 (Keselowski) was going to restart on the inside,” Busch said of the final restart. “I didn’t know whether he was going to push the 48 (Johnson) or try to make it three-wide. I figured I’d just give myself the best opportunity to win, and that was just to run the topside, keep my momentum rolling up through Turns 1 and 2.” With the win, Busch became the first driver to clinch a Chase berth and now leads the series with four wins this year. “I feel like it’s anybody’s game right now still,” Busch said of the championship. “Although the 99 (Carl Edwards) had problems today, they can still come back. (The) 48 is going to be tough; 29 (Kevin Harvick) is going to be good. Hopefully, we can get our teammate in there with the 11 (Denny Hamlin) and he’ll be good, too.” Edwards and Hamlin — two drivers that had experienced a plethora of success at Michigan over the last few years — were both snakebit on Sunday. Edwards had engine issues early that dropped him 28 laps off the lead lap and finished 36th. Hamlin hit the wall with 71 laps to go when a tire went down and wound up 35th. In yet another indisputable sign that NASCAR — though it may choose to portray a “We think we can” attitude — will never compete with the mighty National Football League, some ABC affiliates have chosen to not air the Bristol Cup race on Saturday night. Instead, ABC stations in Houston, Tex.; Phoenix, Ariz.; Nashville, Tenn.; Duluth and Rochester, Minn.; Casper, Wy.; and Sioux City Falls and Rapid City, S.D., will broadcast NFL preseason games. Historically one of the more popular NASCAR events that appealed to a cross-section of sports fans, the Bristol race will air on ESPN2 in these markets (and in Houston on the ABC affiliate’s digital station). I Patrick Carpentier, open-wheel veteran, NASCAR roadcoarse ace and favorite son of Canada, made his final career start in the NAPA Auto Parts 200 Nationwide Series race in Montreal last weekend. Driving a Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota, Carpentier started The poor showing dropped Edwards from the points lead to a tie for third, 39 markers behind Busch. Hamlin’s day may prove to be much more costly. Already on the playoff bubble, last year’s Chase runner-up slipped to 14th in the standings; his only saving grace being a win that — as of this week — would qualify him as a wild card Chase participant. The other current wild card qualifier is Keselowski, who finished third, marking his third consecutive top-3 finish. At 12th in the standings, he owns two wins, which lead any driver outside of the top 12. Three races remain in NASCAR’s regular season. Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Tony Stewart sit ninth and 10th in the standings and, despite not having a win, would be the final two to qualify for the Chase via points. Clint Bowyer is 11th, 24 points behind Stewart, but does not have a win to fall back on as of yet. Keselowski, in 12th, is 72 back of Stewart, followed by Greg Biffle (-58), Hamlin (-59, one win) and AJ Allmendinger (-62). Paul Menard and David Ragan are the only other two drivers ranked 11th20th that have a wild card win, in 18th (Menard) and 20th (Ragan). eighth and had a solid run going until Steve Wallace made his weekly snafu. Attempting to out-brake Carpentier in the hairpin Turn 11, Wallace slid sideways and collected the 39-year old vet, effectively ending his day. Wallace was met by Carpentier’s crew chief, Jerry Baxter, on pit road after the race was complete. Before the driver could exit his No. 66 Toyota, Baxter approached the car, reached inside and yanked the 23-year-old by the hair in frustration, to which Wallace commented later that, “only girls pull hair.” Baxter and Michael Waltrip Racing issued a public apology two days later. Carpentier, though, made no apologies for his post-race comments, which included these gems: “He needs to apologize every race. His sponsor should be called ‘My Apology.’” And, “I’m amazed a guy like Wallace has a full-time ride. It’s like sometimes he spaces out. I’ve never said this before, but I think the guy is an idiot. But what can you do?” SPRINT CUP SERIES Race: Irwin Tools Night Race Track: Bristol Motor Speedway Location: Bristol, Tenn. When: Saturday, Aug. 27 TV: ABC (7:30 p.m. EST) Layout: .533-mile oval Banking/Turns: Variable (24-30 degrees) Banking/Straightaways: 16 degrees March Winner: Kyle Busch Crew Chief’s Take: “Having a car that handles well in the center of the corner off is a key to working through the pack. Track position is a key as well. As the race winds down, most crew chiefs opt for position over new tires, as getting through traffic quickly is next to impossible. For a driver, it's like walking a tightrope. If you’re tense, nervous or uncomfortable, you can’t function there. The great drivers say that if you can get settled in and get comfortable, everything seems to slow down, but there aren’t many with the skills to really reach that point. Most of them just say they do.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Food City 500 Track: Bristol Motor Speedway When: Friday, Aug. 26 TV: ESPN (7:30 p.m. EST) March Winner: Kyle Busch CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: O’Reilly Auto Parts 200 Track: Bristol Motor Speedway When: Wednesday, Aug. 24 TV: SPEED (8:00 p.m. EST) March Winner: Kyle Busch Classic Moments Bristol Motor Speedway In the early- and mid-1980s, the only thing more certain than Darrell Waltrip winning the booing contest in pre-race introductions is his winning trophies at Bristol. Waltrip wins an astounding seven straight at the half-mile bullring between March 1981 and April 1984. However, the streak comes to an end in August ’84 at the Busch 500. Waltrip leads 144 laps early but is plagued by myriad of issues late in the race. Instead, Terry Labonte battles back from two accidents — one a foreshadowing of things to come in the 1990s with Dale Earnhardt — to break Waltrip’s Bristol streak. It’s Labonte’s fourth career victory and one that catapults him by Earnhardt into the championship lead. Labonte pulls away down the stretch from Harry Gant to win the 1984 Winston Cup. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Kyle Busch is taking his turn as the Beast of Bristol. It runs in waves. Pretty Solid Pick: Jimmie Johnson, since he doesn’t qualify for “Sleeper” status after his spring 2010 win. Good Sleeper Pick: Dale Earnhardt Jr. qualifies, though — and makes a nice top-10 candidate. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Even in his heyday, Bobby Labonte never quite figured out Bristol. Insider Tip: They’re going to have to go through Kyle, one way or another, and races on the new surface are a lot easier to predict.
