Today's Highlight in History: 'J'«>o hundred years ago, on Aug. 17, •1807, Roben Fulton's North River Steamboat (popularly, if erroneously, known to this day as the Clennont) began heading up the Hudson River on its successful round-trip between New York and Albany. On this date: ·In 1863, federal batteries and ships began bombarding Fon Sumter in.Charleston harbor during the Civil War, but the Confederates managed to hold on despite several days of pounding. , In 1896, a prospecting party discovered gold in Canada, a finding that touched off the Klondike gold rush. . In 1915, a mob in Cobb County, Ga., lynched Jewish businessman Leo Frank, whose death sentence for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Pha~an had been commuted to life imprisonment. (Frank, who d maintained his innocence, was pardoned by the state of Georgia in 1986.) In 1942, during World War II, U.S. Eighth Air Force bombers attacked Rouen, France. In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina. In 1969, 256 people were killed as Hurricane Camille slammed into the Gulf Coast. . In 1978, the frrst successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman landed their Double Eagle 'Fwo outside Paris. In 1985, more than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the Geo. A. Honnel and Company's main plant in Austin, Minn., in a bitter strike that lasted just over a year. In 1996, the Reform Pany announced Ross Perot had won its nomination to be its fllst-ever presidential candidate. Ten years ago: President Clinton urged both sides in the United Parcel Service strike to "redouble their effons" to reach a deal, but hours later, negotiators recessed their intensive talks. Five ye~ ago: In Krakow, Poland, tens of thousands of adoring Poles--gave Pope John Paul ll a joyous welcome home as the ailing pontiff began the 9th vistt to his native . country during his papacy.

'F riday, August 17, 2007 This could happen if your congregation buys the new "Mixing it up with Harry Potter" study guides from the Church of England. The goal of the 12-pan series is to use scenes from these omnipresent books and' movies to help children discuss big issues such as . deatb, sacrifice, loneliness, fear, mercy and grief. "Jesus used storytelling to engage and challenge his li steners," said Bishop John Pritc~ard of Oxford, speaking on behalf of the curricu!urn. "There's nothing better than a good story to make people think, and there's plenty in the Harry Potter books to make young people think about the choices they make in their everyday lives." In his introduction, studyguide author Owen Smith addressed the concerns many believers have voiced about J.K. Row ling's books. As most resi(lents of Planet Earth know by now, more than 325 million copies of the seven Harry Potter novels have been sold so far. "The magic in the books is simply pan of the magic that J._K. Row ling has created, in the same way that magic is' part of the world of Christian writers such as C. S. Lewis," said Smith. "To say ... these books draw younger readers towards the occult seems to me both to malign J. K. Rowling and to vastly underestimate the Rowling's work, a Vatican voice on culture has said the novels portray clashes between good and evil in a manner consistent with Christianity. Speaking in 2003, Father Peter Fleetwood noted that the author is "Christian bY. conviction, is Christian in her mode of living, even in her way of writing." Rowling has confinned that she is a Christian and a communicant in the Church of Scotland, which has Presbyterian roots. In one oft-quoted interview, she told a Canadian newspaper: "Every time I've been asked if I believe in God, I've said, 'yes,' because I do. But no one ever really has gone any more deeply into it than that, and I have to say that does suit me." Thus, this group of Potter supporters argues that Row ling is a Christian perhaps one with liberal beliefs - who has chosen to write mainstream books containing Christian symbois and language. In other words, she is a Christian who writes books, but not "Christian books." • Some g(l further and find elements of overt Christian storytelling - especially in the new "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.': They may, for example, see paralleis between Potter's willingness to surrender his life to save others from the evil Lord Voldemort and the Terry Mattingly ability of children and young people to separate the real from the imaginary." . At least three kinds of critics have knocked Rowling's· work, when it comes to religion. Some say the books are 1;ecular. and contain no theological content at all, while, on the other side, many others insist that Potter-mania may lead to interest in witchcraft. Some simply say the books send mixed signals and should be avoided. However, there are also at least three ,positive schools of thought about Rowling's take on faith : • Like the Church of England educators, some supponers say the Potter books can - at the very least - be mined as acceptable sources of stories ·to help teach young people about faith. One early evangelical book making this case, "The Gospel According to Harry Potter" by Connie Neal, was blacklisted in many Christian bookstores. .• While Catholics have debated the merits of Ribbons from PageA1 'Mna Larae Bachtel I' redemptive sacrifice made by the Christ figure in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by Lewis. There's more. In a pivotal· baptism s~quence , Potter· dives into deadly waters to recover . a sword described as a "great silver cross" - .required to destroy evil treasures. Finally, there is a vision of life after death set in a heavenly "King's· Cross" train station. Literary critic John or' Granger HogwansProfessor.com has been making this argument. for years. He thinks Rowling must be considered a "Christian anist," yet one who faces her own doubts and struggles. "The Gospel messages_ and allusions in the series: . finale were so transparent and edifying, surely, I thought, the Harry Haters must be having second thoughts, if not regrets about ' things they have said with such conviction the past I0 years in print and from the pulpit," said Granger. "I haven't seen any sign of this. Have you?"

Sorting out the Middle East If you want to pose as an all-purpose expert on the Middle East, just assume the demeanor of a wise old owl and announce, "It's all about oil." Why did the United States invade Iraq? "Oil." What are the Sunnis and the Shiites battling over? "OiL" What is Iran's motive in its Byzantine power plays? "Oil." Don't try to explain the details of your analysis: Keep it simple, and just blame everything on oil. The irritating fact is that there is just enough - barely enough - truth in this generic accusation to keep it from being laughed out of any room it crops up in. Oil is indeed the central factor in Middle Eastern geo politics. There ex ists, under the ground .there, a huge percentage of the oil that the world, at this point in its technological development, depends on. Until it was discovered ihere scarcely a century ago, the residents of the region played a far less important role in world affairs. If technology develops, as it seems likely to, other large sources' of energy, the Arabs, who are currently throwing their weight around so brazenly, will have to get back to tending sheep or whatever else they d'd < 1 .or money. William Rusher Meanwhile, access to the · oil resources of the Middle East is absolutely essential to the economic well-being of the rest of the world, and especially Europe 's. The United States is far less dependent on it, having alternative sources of oil both within its political borders and in other areas easier to deal with. But the United States could not possibly afford to let Europe be starved of oil, so it cannot ignore the importance of this resource. On the other hand, there is no serious danger that the oil of the Middle East will suddenly be withheld from the world market. In itself, oil does almost nothing for the nations that sit on top of it. It is useful to them only because, and to the extent that, itcan be sold to some. body else. Any interruption in the sale of Middle Eastem oil to Europe would be a terrible blow to Europe. but it would be absolutely 1 ' catastrophic to the Middle East. The economies of most of the nations there are based almost entirely upon it, and would collapse the moment sales ceased. So it is nonsense to say or imply that.the trnited States invaded Iraq to -insure a continued supply of its oil, or even to get a better price for it. And other Middle Eastern developments are equally independent of any scenario that hinges on the interruption of the oil supply. There are plenty of other reasons for the prob!ems currently bedeviling the region. Religious differences within the Muslim world are ancient and entrenched, and play an enormous role in their current politics. The Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, for example, have never coexisted affably, and find themselves in the same country only because the borders the British drew when they created that nation after World War I happened to include both of them. This has made it extremely difficult for the United States to bring about an Iraqi government that can truly unite the country. Similarly, the Shiite-dominated regime in Iran seems clearly embarked on an ·effon to make sure that their fellow Shiites, who are numerically dominant in. Iraq but long suffered under the Sunnis led by Saddam Hussein, control whatever government finally emerges there. And on the other side. of Iraq is Syria, which is _ also led by Shiites and is· plainly sympathetic to: Iran's game. Arrayed against these forces, howev- . er, are the Sunni-dominated ' governments of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, among others, who are bound to look more kindly on Iraq's Sunnis. All this is still further complicated by Iran's evi- _ dent intention to acquire nuclear weapons and the capacity to deliver them to nearby targets - an ambition that the Sunni-led nations are absolutely bound to respond to with nuclear efforts of their own. No wonder The New York Times reported on Aug. 12 that, despite all their rhetoric about pulling out of Iraq, "the Democratic presidential candidates are ·setting out positions that could leave the United States engaged in Iraq for years." That's putting it mildly. (William Rusher is a Distinguished Fell ow of the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy) Local Stocks . i 2007 MEIGS COUNTY FAIR . ...

On this date: ·In 1863, federal batteries and ships began bombarding Fon Sumter in.Charleston harbor during the Civil War, but the Confederates managed to hold on despite several days of pounding. , In 1896, a prospecting party discovered gold in Canada, a finding that touched off the Klondike gold rush. . In 1915, a mob in Cobb County, Ga., lynched Jewish businessman Leo Frank, whose death sentence for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Pha~an had been commuted to life imprisonment. (Frank, who d maintained his innocence, was pardoned by the state of Georgia in 1986.) In 1942, during World War II, U.S. Eighth Air Force bombers attacked Rouen, France. In 1943, the Allied conquest of Sicily was completed as U.S. and British forces entered Messina. In 1969, 256 people were killed as Hurricane Camille slammed into the Gulf Coast. . In 1978, the frrst successful trans-Atlantic balloon flight ended as Maxie Anderson, Ben Abruzzo and Larry Newman landed their Double Eagle 'Fwo outside Paris. In 1985, more than 1,400 meatpackers walked off the job at the Geo. A. Honnel and Company's main plant in Austin, Minn., in a bitter strike that lasted just over a year. In 1996, the Reform Pany announced Ross Perot had won its nomination to be its fllst-ever presidential candidate.

In other words, she is a Christian who writes books, but not "Christian books." • Some g(l further and find elements of overt Christian storytelling - especially in the new "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.': They may, for example, see paralleis between Potter's willingness to surrender his life to save others from the evil Lord Voldemort and the Terry Mattingly ability of children and young people to separate the real from the imaginary." . At least three kinds of critics have knocked Rowling's· work, when it comes to religion. Some say the books are 1;ecular. and contain no theological content at all, while, on the other side, many others insist that Potter-mania may lead to interest in witchcraft. Some simply say the books send mixed signals and should be avoided. However, there are also at least three ,positive schools of thought about Rowling's take on faith : • Like the Church of England educators, some supponers say the Potter books can - at the very least - be mined as acceptable sources of stories ·to help teach young people about faith. One early evangelical book making this case, "The Gospel According to Harry Potter" by Connie Neal, was blacklisted in many Christian bookstores. .• While Catholics have debated the merits of Ribbons from PageA1 'Mna Larae Bachtel I' redemptive sacrifice made by the Christ figure in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" by Lewis.

Sorting out the Middle East If you want to pose as an all-purpose expert on the Middle East, just assume the demeanor of a wise old owl and announce, "It's all about oil." Why did the United States invade Iraq? "Oil." What are the Sunnis and the Shiites battling over? "OiL" What is Iran's motive in its Byzantine power plays? "Oil." Don't try to explain the details of your analysis: Keep it simple, and just blame everything on oil. The irritating fact is that there is just enough - barely enough - truth in this generic accusation to keep it from being laughed out of any room it crops up in. Oil is indeed the central factor in Middle Eastern geo politics. There ex ists, under the ground .there, a huge percentage of the oil that the world, at this point in its technological development, depends on. Until it was discovered ihere scarcely a century ago, the residents of the region played a far less important role in world affairs. If technology develops, as it seems likely to, other large sources' of energy, the Arabs, who are currently throwing their weight around so brazenly, will have to get back to tending sheep or whatever else they d'd < 1 .or money. William Rusher Meanwhile, access to the · oil resources of the Middle East is absolutely essential to the economic well-being of the rest of the world, and especially Europe 's. The United States is far less dependent on it, having alternative sources of oil both within its political borders and in other areas easier to deal with. But the United States could not possibly afford to let Europe be starved of oil, so it cannot ignore the importance of this resource. On the other hand, there is no serious danger that the oil of the Middle East will suddenly be withheld from the world market. In itself, oil does almost nothing for the nations that sit on top of it. It is useful to them only because, and to the extent that, itcan be sold to some. body else. Any interruption in the sale of Middle Eastem oil to Europe would be a terrible blow to Europe. but it would be absolutely 1 ' catastrophic to the Middle East. The economies of most of the nations there are based almost entirely upon it, and would collapse the moment sales ceased. So it is nonsense to say or imply that.the trnited States invaded Iraq to -insure a continued supply of its oil, or even to get a better price for it. And other Middle Eastern developments are equally independent of any scenario that hinges on the interruption of the oil supply. There are plenty of other reasons for the prob!ems currently bedeviling the region. Religious differences within the Muslim world are ancient and entrenched, and play an enormous role in their current politics. The Sunnis and Shiites in Iraq, for example, have never coexisted affably, and find themselves in the same country only because the borders the British drew when they created that nation after World War I happened to include both of them. This has made it extremely difficult for the United States to bring about an Iraqi government that can truly unite the country. Similarly, the Shiite-dominated regime in Iran seems clearly embarked on an ·effon to make sure that their fellow Shiites, who are numerically dominant in. Iraq but long suffered under the Sunnis led by Saddam Hussein, control whatever government finally emerges there. And on the other side. of Iraq is Syria, which is _ also led by Shiites and is· plainly sympathetic to: Iran's game. Arrayed against these forces, howev- . er, are the Sunni-dominated ' governments of Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Egypt, among others, who are bound to look more kindly on Iraq's Sunnis. All this is still further complicated by Iran's evi- _ dent intention to acquire nuclear weapons and the capacity to deliver them to nearby targets - an ambition that the Sunni-led nations are absolutely bound to respond to with nuclear efforts of their own. No wonder The New York Times reported on Aug. 12 that, despite all their rhetoric about pulling out of Iraq, "the Democratic presidential candidates are ·setting out positions that could leave the United States engaged in Iraq for years." That's putting it mildly. (William Rusher is a Distinguished Fell ow of the Claremont Institute for the Study of Statesmanship and Political Philosophy) Local Stocks . i 2007 MEIGS COUNTY FAIR . ...

With clever knots and lacings, he wove an airtight structure that he was sure no draft or rainwater could enter. And when he had fini sherl, his house too seemed so tidy and well-built that one would have hardly believed that it had been built with sticks. Pig Three had not paid much attention to Pig One or Pig Two's ways of doing things . Instead, he had poured over the plans his father had given him. When he felt that he had a good sense of what his father had advised him, he also went to the river. Pig Number Three however didn't look at the friendly looking grass, or even the strong and supple lengths of sticks in the grove of trees; he went down to river itself and began to haul red clay from its banks to a third slab of rock beside which he had built a small oven. While his brothers stopped what they were doing and incredulously watched him scoop up the messy and goopy clay, getting himself very dirty in the process, he formed the clay into bncks and baked them in the oven until they were very hard and very strong. "Around here, you can't make a house that will keep you well and keep you safe unless you build it of brick," his father's notes had stated. "And you can't make a good brick without a hot furnace to pass them through." And so, even though it took him far longer than his brothers to build his house and in spite of the fact that the work was far harder than was needed to build a house of straw or sticks, he eventually finished. And it was just in time, too. The very moment that he stepped inside and shut the door behind him, a huge wolf from the hard and -craggy mountaintops loped into the meadow. Wolves are, as a rule, very fond of ham, bacon, spareribs, pork chops and sausage. This wolf was no exception and had been drawn irresistibly to the meadow by the scent of the three Little pigs. His wolfy eyes spied the little house made of straw and he went to the door. Rap, rap, rap! "Little pig, little pig, Let me in!" Pig One, who was hoping that it was yet again time {or a Girl Scout Cookie fund-raiser, ran to the door. But he saw the wolf before he opened. "No, wolf! Not by the hair of my chinny~chin-chin!" he called. The wolf shrugged, and replied, "Then I'll ·huff and I'll f f ·r r { f Cburtb of JtMU Christ Apo~tolle VanZandt and Ward Rd ., Pastor: James , Miller, Swxiay Sehool ~ 10:30 a.m., E!vet~in& - 7:30 p.m. lllnT VOlley River Valley Apostolic Wonhip Center, 873 S. 3rd Ave., Midd\epon , Rev.

The little straw house MIGHT have not blown away, but the wolf's hot air was SO hot that the straw caught fire and within seconds was burning furiously. Pigs, as a matte(. of principle, don't like bacon, especially when they're the bacon. So this Little piggy ran to Pig Two's house. Just as they slammed the door shut, the wolf reached the door. Knock, knock, knock! "Little pig, little pig, let me in'" the wolf called. "No, wolf! Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" squeaked the two httle pigs, quaking with fear. Again the wolf shrugged, and answered, "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and blow your house in!" And JUSt like before, he huffed and puffed and the little house of sticks caught fire and began to burn. Pig Three had watched it all happen. He ran to where his brothers were and grabbed them. "Quick! Back to my house!" he said as he pulled them along behind him. Just as they slammed it shut, the wolf reached the door. Barn, bam, barn! "Little pig, little pig, Let me in!" the wolf called. "No, wolf! Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" said the third little pig, without any fear. Just like before, the wolf huffed and puffed. But this time, the little house wouldn't catch fire. The wolf pounded and pounded, but it was no use. The little piggies simply watched him through the barred windows until the wolf got tired and went in search of an eas; ier snack. He thought that he'~ seen a Girl Scout in a little red hood earlier in the day; maybe she had some cookies he could mooch, ]n the meantime, the three pigs sat in the little brick house, reflecting on the wisdom of building one's house with things that last and not merely settling for easy shortcuts or for cleverness that falls short of the wisdom of their father. "For no one can lay any founda~ tion other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ If any man · builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, woodj hay, or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the ftre wiJ1 test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives; he will receive his reward. If it i~ burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only ali one escaping through the flames': (I Corinthians 3:11-15 NTV). Pastor Thom ·Mollohan .Mass appeal: Regular attenders get tuition discount The Daily Sentinel Page A7 www.mydailysentinel.com Friday, August 17, 2007 A Hunger For More Fair week is special. Adults get a break from the routine; kids get a chance at rides and prizes. Families get together and camp out in the RV. Some come to show off their skills in various events, others come to gawk at what's been entered in the events. Some come to sell their wares. some to raise money for charitable or school groups; others come to buy the best tacos-in-a-bag or freshest lemonade in the area. I grew up in the Texas Panhandle, and our big fair was the T!i-State Fair. Folks would come from Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico to enter their 4-H projects, domestic and fine arts, baking, canning. etc. Up-andcoming musical acts and a few acts rather long in the tooth would make appearances during Fair Week. The Midway would be crowded with games, rides, food booths, and displays. It might have been a little bigger than the Meigs County Fair, but it certainly wasn't any better. As a teenager, I worked in a booth sponsored by our local ministerial association. It was pretty simple actually. We didn't ask for money, and we didn't throw out lots of literature. We simply did one thing: passed out cups of ice-cold waier. Although the fair wasn' t until . mid-September, temperatures in the upper 90s weren't uncommon. And there's nothing like some refreshing, ice-cold water in the midst of a scorcher! Why cups of cold water? You'll find the answer in Matthew 10:42: "If anyone gives $!Vena cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciples, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." (NIV) A cup of cold water isn't much; but Jesus used this example to show how even small things matter in the kingdom of heaven.

With clever knots and lacings, he wove an airtight structure that he was sure no draft or rainwater could enter. And when he had fini sherl, his house too seemed so tidy and well-built that one would have hardly believed that it had been built with sticks. Pig Three had not paid much attention to Pig One or Pig Two's ways of doing things . Instead, he had poured over the plans his father had given him. When he felt that he had a good sense of what his father had advised him, he also went to the river. Pig Number Three however didn't look at the friendly looking grass, or even the strong and supple lengths of sticks in the grove of trees; he went down to river itself and began to haul red clay from its banks to a third slab of rock beside which he had built a small oven. While his brothers stopped what they were doing and incredulously watched him scoop up the messy and goopy clay, getting himself very dirty in the process, he formed the clay into bncks and baked them in the oven until they were very hard and very strong. "Around here, you can't make a house that will keep you well and keep you safe unless you build it of brick," his father's notes had stated. "And you can't make a good brick without a hot furnace to pass them through." And so, even though it took him far longer than his brothers to build his house and in spite of the fact that the work was far harder than was needed to build a house of straw or sticks, he eventually finished. And it was just in time, too. The very moment that he stepped inside and shut the door behind him, a huge wolf from the hard and -craggy mountaintops loped into the meadow. Wolves are, as a rule, very fond of ham, bacon, spareribs, pork chops and sausage. This wolf was no exception and had been drawn irresistibly to the meadow by the scent of the three Little pigs. His wolfy eyes spied the little house made of straw and he went to the door. Rap, rap, rap! "Little pig, little pig, Let me in!" Pig One, who was hoping that it was yet again time {or a Girl Scout Cookie fund-raiser, ran to the door. But he saw the wolf before he opened. "No, wolf! Not by the hair of my chinny~chin-chin!" he called. The wolf shrugged, and replied, "Then I'll ·huff and I'll f f ·r r { f Cburtb of JtMU Christ Apo~tolle VanZandt and Ward Rd ., Pastor: James , Miller, Swxiay Sehool ~ 10:30 a.m., E!vet~in& - 7:30 p.m. lllnT VOlley River Valley Apostolic Wonhip Center, 873 S. 3rd Ave., Midd\epon , Rev.

The little straw house MIGHT have not blown away, but the wolf's hot air was SO hot that the straw caught fire and within seconds was burning furiously. Pigs, as a matte(. of principle, don't like bacon, especially when they're the bacon. So this Little piggy ran to Pig Two's house. Just as they slammed the door shut, the wolf reached the door. Knock, knock, knock! "Little pig, little pig, let me in'" the wolf called. "No, wolf! Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" squeaked the two httle pigs, quaking with fear. Again the wolf shrugged, and answered, "Then I'll huff and I'll puff and blow your house in!" And JUSt like before, he huffed and puffed and the little house of sticks caught fire and began to burn. Pig Three had watched it all happen. He ran to where his brothers were and grabbed them. "Quick! Back to my house!" he said as he pulled them along behind him. Just as they slammed it shut, the wolf reached the door. Barn, bam, barn! "Little pig, little pig, Let me in!" the wolf called. "No, wolf! Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin!" said the third little pig, without any fear. Just like before, the wolf huffed and puffed. But this time, the little house wouldn't catch fire. The wolf pounded and pounded, but it was no use. The little piggies simply watched him through the barred windows until the wolf got tired and went in search of an eas; ier snack. He thought that he'~ seen a Girl Scout in a little red hood earlier in the day; maybe she had some cookies he could mooch, ]n the meantime, the three pigs sat in the little brick house, reflecting on the wisdom of building one's house with things that last and not merely settling for easy shortcuts or for cleverness that falls short of the wisdom of their father. "For no one can lay any founda~ tion other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ If any man · builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, woodj hay, or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the ftre wiJ1 test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives; he will receive his reward.

Adults get a break from the routine; kids get a chance at rides and prizes. Families get together and camp out in the RV. Some come to show off their skills in various events, others come to gawk at what's been entered in the events. Some come to sell their wares. some to raise money for charitable or school groups; others come to buy the best tacos-in-a-bag or freshest lemonade in the area. I grew up in the Texas Panhandle, and our big fair was the T!i-State Fair. Folks would come from Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico to enter their 4-H projects, domestic and fine arts, baking, canning. etc. Up-andcoming musical acts and a few acts rather long in the tooth would make appearances during Fair Week. The Midway would be crowded with games, rides, food booths, and displays. It might have been a little bigger than the Meigs County Fair, but it certainly wasn't any better. As a teenager, I worked in a booth sponsored by our local ministerial association. It was pretty simple actually. We didn't ask for money, and we didn't throw out lots of literature. We simply did one thing: passed out cups of ice-cold waier. Although the fair wasn' t until . mid-September, temperatures in the upper 90s weren't uncommon. And there's nothing like some refreshing, ice-cold water in the midst of a scorcher! Why cups of cold water? You'll find the answer in Matthew 10:42: "If anyone gives $!Vena cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciples, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward." (NIV) A cup of cold water isn't much; but Jesus used this example to show how even small things matter in the kingdom of heaven.

SPORTSOMVDAJLYSENTINEL.COM PIITSB URGH (AP) Maybe the Pi ttsbu rgh Steelers still . were B1ll Cowher 's team when training camp began last month. The players weren't happy about the extra practices new coach Mike Tomlin scheduled and all the contact work during the opening week of camp. There also was that annoying clock along the sidehnes that ticked down the amount of time left in a drill - the clock Hines Ward claims never moves . And the altered practice schedule . Ward also complained that Tomlin allowed the defensive backs to be too phys ical against the receivers during supposedly non-contact drills . No wonder that, when asked what he saw his players resisting, Tomlin said, "Everything ." But as the days at ·Saint Vincent College wound down, Tomlin believes his players settled into the new routine. They came out with an all-business mind-set and an extra measure of physicality for their first preseason game , and they dominated the Saints while the starters were on the field . While Tomlin hasn't said it yet, he doesn't believe there will be much lingering talk of how it used to be with the Steelers when they open the season Sept. 9 at Cleveland . "They resisted the change, like we all do," Tomhn said Thursday. "But , ideally, I think they did a nice JOb of dealing with it and not letting it affect their quality of play." As camp drag11ed on - it finally ends Fnday, when the Steelers leave for Saturday's exhibition game Cubs fromPageBl The defending world champions coming in here on a roll . Our job IS to slow them down a httle," Piniella said. · ( 10 7) J ason Marqu1s allowed seven hits and four runs - all of those coming in the second. DeRosa's RBI single off Bobby Livingston (3-3) drove in Ryan Theriot , who had doubled, to break a 4-4 tie in the fourth. And then the Cubs went to work on the Reds' bullpen in the seventh. Ramirez and Matt Murton singled against Gary Majewski before Jones hit a liner off reliever Mike Stanton's leg for a single to make it .6;4. After another single by Koyie Hill loaded the bases, Stanton walked pinch-hitter Jason Kendall to force in a run before Theriot hit a two-run double. DeRosa tben greeted reliever Mike Gosling with a two-run single through the box to make it 11-4 and Ramirez followed one .out later with his second hit of at Washington - Tomlin sensed less and less resistance. " It 's funny, we' re all creatures of habit, particularly the guys that have been here a long time," Tomlin said . "Guys who were drafted here, they knew only one way. When · you know what's going on, you never have to look at a schedule and you can kind of be on autopilot. That's what we crave. We like to be .on autopilot and know what lies ahead. But sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone a little bit." Tomlin 's 'philosor.hy may explain why he isn t revealing who his starters will be Saturday at several positions - to make sure those players keep an edge. He will play his starters far more than he did in the first two exhibitions, perhaps well into the second <J,Uarter. "We're always gomg to be prepared to play it by ear. But it's our intention to P,iay guys more in this game, ' he said. The starters will play even longer next weekend against Philadelphia, possibly into the second half. Running back Willie Parker (knee) and firstround draft pick Lawrence Timmons (groin) will play for the first time Ibis preseason, though Tomlin isn't saying how much. Timmons returned to practice only this week after being out since the early days of camp. "How much will kind of be determined on conditioning and what he's capable of handling from an assignment standpoint," Tomlin said of Timmons, an outside linebacker. ··.· aut he's shown that he's getting pretty sharp the inniug. a run-scoring dopble . The Cubs scored four in the first off Livingston, who surrendered II hits and five runs in five innings, but Marquis couldn't hold it. The Reds tied it with four ·10 h f h d d t e top 0 .t e secon an could have had more if Ken G 'ff J n r. had not been tag~e out during a rallykilhng mixup on the base paths after he singled off the wall in right center. . "We ~ot a-little fortunate there with Griffey rounding that first base bag and getling out. That could have been a really big inning there ,'.' Piniella said. Adam Dunn hit his 32nd homer to lead off the second and the Reds loaded the . bases on a walk to Scott Hatteberg, a double by Edwin Encarnacion and a walk to Livin~ston . Josh Hamilton was htt by a pitch to force in the second run and Jeff Keppinger's infield single made it 4-3 with the bases remaining loaded. Griffey then hit a ball off the wall to score Livingston. But when Hamilton held up at third and Keppinger had to slow up accordingly, Griffey got caught between first and ?' fro m an assignment· standpoint." Also starting will be Bryant McFadden at cornerback, ahead of De shea Townsend , and wide receiver Santonio Holmes, ahead of Cedrick Wilson. Those changes are ex pected to carry into the season. Tomlin kept one tradition during this camp: Cowher 's movie day. Cowher usually canceled one morning practice and packed off the players to a local theater to watch the movie of their choice . But, predictably, Tomlin handled movie day a little differently. He told his coaches and players on Tuesday night that they would have Wednesday morning off - either to see a movie, sleep in or hit golf balls at a driving range. By telling them . in advance ,. the players didn't have to get suited up and the trainers didn't have to tape up players for a practice that wouldn't take place . The assistant coaches also didn't have to draw up plans for a phantom practice . "I had too much work to do. I didn't have time to ~o to the movies," said Tomhn, who worked during the players~ morning off. "I guess going to the movies is a tradition around here. I'm not much into tradition." Notes: LT Marvel Smith may play despite a lingering back problem. ... DT Chris Hoke (knee) is out. ... Tomlin hinted that WR Nate . Washington must quit drop" ping passes and concentrate better if he's to make the team ... Trai Essex will also play some at LT. ... Thursday afternoon's practice was the last this season that was open to the public. second and was tagged out easily. Brandon Phillips then grounded out to end lht; inning. "With one out, xou need to go halfway and 1f the ball falls in you score easily. (Hamilton) just got a little confused and made a mistake," Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin said. Hamilton took the blame. "I kind of got caught in between trying to figure out what to do. I talked to the coaches about it and it's still the one pan of my game that doesn't feel quite . right," said Hamilton, who . didn 't play professionally from 2003-05. The Cubs had four doubles in the first while scoring four times. DeRosa, Ramirez, Jake Fox and Jones all had two-baggers off Livingston. Notes: Griffey, who had three hits, went to his knees to catch Marquis' sinking ' liner in the fourth and after he returned to his feet replaced the turf over a big divot he created when he landed . ... The 20 hits were also the most allowed by the Reds this season . ... After days of stifling humidity, the game began with a temperature of just 72 degrees.

That's a pretty stiff challenge since Stewart has won three of the past four Nextel Cup events. The latest victory -No. 32 of Stewart's career- tied him with Jeff Gordon as the most sue~ cessful driver at Watkins Glen International. Both superstars have now won four. The most recent victory came at Gordon's expense. With less than two laps remaining, Gordon, feeling the heat from Stewart, spun entering the first of the Glen's 11 turns. Stewart had spun, almost identically, earlier in the race. "When Jeff (Gordon) spun, it gave us the opportunity for the lead," said Stewart's crew chief, Greg Zipadelli, "and that's how he had gotten track position, or how he got the lead when we PLAN NOW TO · REA PART OF IT WITH OUR COUNTY WIDE YARD SALE PACKAGE spun, so we kind of got' it back. Normally, it doesn't go full circle that quickly, but fortunately, today it did." "That's fate from upstairs that gives you a day like this, when you make a mistake and get . it back the same way you lost it," added Stewart. Stewart's good·fortune has reversed the rotten luck he experienced during the season's first half: The. current surge has moved him up to fourth in the points standings. Since the Chase, which begins after four more rac.es, sets the postseason order on the basis of victories, not points, Stewart is effectively within 10 points of Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, both of whom have won four races. Recalling Gordon's spin, which opened the door to his victory, Stewart said: "Trust me, I was probably the most shocked person to see it happen. Jeff has won four championships and (79) races now. He's the last guy you expect to have a 'problem like that." Stewart had fallen from first to 19th place after his spin, just shy of the race's halfway point, but he thought his Chevrolet had been stronger than Gordon's. "I think our car was just a tick better than Jeff's," said Stewart, "but, you know, it was a situation where whoever was leading, it was going to be extremely hard for the other guy to get by." Now Stewart has to hold on to whatever magic he and his team have now. "! hope what we've seen in the last four races is what we're going to see in the Chase," he said. "I hope for every four races we run, we win three of them, and the other ones, I hope we run second." Oh, really? Want to read morefrom Monte Dutton?

SPORTSOMVDAJLYSENTINEL.COM PIITSB URGH (AP) Maybe the Pi ttsbu rgh Steelers still . were B1ll Cowher 's team when training camp began last month. The players weren't happy about the extra practices new coach Mike Tomlin scheduled and all the contact work during the opening week of camp. There also was that annoying clock along the sidehnes that ticked down the amount of time left in a drill - the clock Hines Ward claims never moves . And the altered practice schedule . Ward also complained that Tomlin allowed the defensive backs to be too phys ical against the receivers during supposedly non-contact drills . No wonder that, when asked what he saw his players resisting, Tomlin said, "Everything ." But as the days at ·Saint Vincent College wound down, Tomlin believes his players settled into the new routine. They came out with an all-business mind-set and an extra measure of physicality for their first preseason game , and they dominated the Saints while the starters were on the field . While Tomlin hasn't said it yet, he doesn't believe there will be much lingering talk of how it used to be with the Steelers when they open the season Sept. 9 at Cleveland . "They resisted the change, like we all do," Tomhn said Thursday. "But , ideally, I think they did a nice JOb of dealing with it and not letting it affect their quality of play." As camp drag11ed on - it finally ends Fnday, when the Steelers leave for Saturday's exhibition game Cubs fromPageBl The defending world champions coming in here on a roll . Our job IS to slow them down a httle," Piniella said. · ( 10 7) J ason Marqu1s allowed seven hits and four runs - all of those coming in the second. DeRosa's RBI single off Bobby Livingston (3-3) drove in Ryan Theriot , who had doubled, to break a 4-4 tie in the fourth. And then the Cubs went to work on the Reds' bullpen in the seventh. Ramirez and Matt Murton singled against Gary Majewski before Jones hit a liner off reliever Mike Stanton's leg for a single to make it .6;4. After another single by Koyie Hill loaded the bases, Stanton walked pinch-hitter Jason Kendall to force in a run before Theriot hit a two-run double. DeRosa tben greeted reliever Mike Gosling with a two-run single through the box to make it 11-4 and Ramirez followed one .out later with his second hit of at Washington - Tomlin sensed less and less resistance. " It 's funny, we' re all creatures of habit, particularly the guys that have been here a long time," Tomlin said . "Guys who were drafted here, they knew only one way. When · you know what's going on, you never have to look at a schedule and you can kind of be on autopilot. That's what we crave. We like to be .on autopilot and know what lies ahead. But sometimes it's good to get out of your comfort zone a little bit." Tomlin 's 'philosor.hy may explain why he isn t revealing who his starters will be Saturday at several positions - to make sure those players keep an edge. He will play his starters far more than he did in the first two exhibitions, perhaps well into the second <J,Uarter. "We're always gomg to be prepared to play it by ear. But it's our intention to P,iay guys more in this game, ' he said. The starters will play even longer next weekend against Philadelphia, possibly into the second half. Running back Willie Parker (knee) and firstround draft pick Lawrence Timmons (groin) will play for the first time Ibis preseason, though Tomlin isn't saying how much. Timmons returned to practice only this week after being out since the early days of camp. "How much will kind of be determined on conditioning and what he's capable of handling from an assignment standpoint," Tomlin said of Timmons, an outside linebacker. ··.· aut he's shown that he's getting pretty sharp the inniug. a run-scoring dopble . The Cubs scored four in the first off Livingston, who surrendered II hits and five runs in five innings, but Marquis couldn't hold it. The Reds tied it with four ·10 h f h d d t e top 0 .t e secon an could have had more if Ken G 'ff J n r. had not been tag~e out during a rallykilhng mixup on the base paths after he singled off the wall in right center. . "We ~ot a-little fortunate there with Griffey rounding that first base bag and getling out. That could have been a really big inning there ,'.' Piniella said. Adam Dunn hit his 32nd homer to lead off the second and the Reds loaded the . bases on a walk to Scott Hatteberg, a double by Edwin Encarnacion and a walk to Livin~ston . Josh Hamilton was htt by a pitch to force in the second run and Jeff Keppinger's infield single made it 4-3 with the bases remaining loaded. Griffey then hit a ball off the wall to score Livingston. But when Hamilton held up at third and Keppinger had to slow up accordingly, Griffey got caught between first and ?' fro m an assignment· standpoint." Also starting will be Bryant McFadden at cornerback, ahead of De shea Townsend , and wide receiver Santonio Holmes, ahead of Cedrick Wilson. Those changes are ex pected to carry into the season. Tomlin kept one tradition during this camp: Cowher 's movie day. Cowher usually canceled one morning practice and packed off the players to a local theater to watch the movie of their choice . But, predictably, Tomlin handled movie day a little differently. He told his coaches and players on Tuesday night that they would have Wednesday morning off - either to see a movie, sleep in or hit golf balls at a driving range. By telling them . in advance ,. the players didn't have to get suited up and the trainers didn't have to tape up players for a practice that wouldn't take place . The assistant coaches also didn't have to draw up plans for a phantom practice . "I had too much work to do. I didn't have time to ~o to the movies," said Tomhn, who worked during the players~ morning off. "I guess going to the movies is a tradition around here. I'm not much into tradition." Notes: LT Marvel Smith may play despite a lingering back problem. ... DT Chris Hoke (knee) is out. ... Tomlin hinted that WR Nate . Washington must quit drop" ping passes and concentrate better if he's to make the team ... Trai Essex will also play some at LT. ... Thursday afternoon's practice was the last this season that was open to the public. second and was tagged out easily. Brandon Phillips then grounded out to end lht; inning. "With one out, xou need to go halfway and 1f the ball falls in you score easily. (Hamilton) just got a little confused and made a mistake," Reds interim manager Pete Mackanin said. Hamilton took the blame. "I kind of got caught in between trying to figure out what to do. I talked to the coaches about it and it's still the one pan of my game that doesn't feel quite . right," said Hamilton, who . didn 't play professionally from 2003-05. The Cubs had four doubles in the first while scoring four times. DeRosa, Ramirez, Jake Fox and Jones all had two-baggers off Livingston. Notes: Griffey, who had three hits, went to his knees to catch Marquis' sinking ' liner in the fourth and after he returned to his feet replaced the turf over a big divot he created when he landed . ... The 20 hits were also the most allowed by the Reds this season . ... After days of stifling humidity, the game began with a temperature of just 72 degrees.

The latest victory -No. 32 of Stewart's career- tied him with Jeff Gordon as the most sue~ cessful driver at Watkins Glen International. Both superstars have now won four. The most recent victory came at Gordon's expense. With less than two laps remaining, Gordon, feeling the heat from Stewart, spun entering the first of the Glen's 11 turns.

Stewart's good·fortune has reversed the rotten luck he experienced during the season's first half: The. current surge has moved him up to fourth in the points standings. Since the Chase, which begins after four more rac.es, sets the postseason order on the basis of victories, not points, Stewart is effectively within 10 points of Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, both of whom have won four races. Recalling Gordon's spin, which opened the door to his victory, Stewart said: "Trust me, I was probably the most shocked person to see it happen. Jeff has won four championships and (79) races now. He's the last guy you expect to have a 'problem like that." Stewart had fallen from first to 19th place after his spin, just shy of the race's halfway point, but he thought his Chevrolet had been stronger than Gordon's. "I think our car was just a tick better than Jeff's," said Stewart, "but, you know, it was a situation where whoever was leading, it was going to be extremely hard for the other guy to get by." Now Stewart has to hold on to whatever magic he and his team have now. "! hope what we've seen in the last four races is what we're going to see in the Chase," he said. "I hope for every four races we run, we win three of them, and the other ones, I hope we run second." Oh, really? Want to read morefrom Monte Dutton?

Mears, a 1996 graduate, played fullback and halfback, while Carr was setting 16 school records in two seasons as the starting quarterback .

In addition to his many activities in other sports, Gillett said, "Racing is in my blood." And, now, it's in his wallet.

I'm just really excited we actually got this opportunity in the first place, and hopefully it will happen again. I can't predict it, but hopefully it'll work out."

Goodell insists this 1s not eclipsing enthusiasm about the game itself. "I don't think it's over.shadowing the season," he said. "I think our fans are excited about football, but 1 understand the interest in the story." Vick is facing increased pressure to strike a deal with prosecutors in his federal dogfighting conspiracy case. He conferred with his lawyers for hours Wednesday.

''Law enforcement may be concerned about certain things about this. We may be concerned about other aspects of this. That's why we want to evaluate what the government has. We don't know all of the facts on that. Michael's team may not know all the facts at this point in time." The quarterback was linked to betting by a statement signed by former codefendant Tony Taylor, who pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government, and !he July 17 indictment. Two other co-defendants - Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips - are to enter plea agreements Friday. Prosecutors have said they will seek a superseding indictment later this month that could mean additional charges against Vick. Vick has pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiri11g to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture . If convicted , he faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 . Acconling to the statement signed by Taylor as part of his plea agreement , Vick financed virtually all of the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting enterprise on Vick's )lroperty. A search of his property in April turned up dozens of pit bulls , some of them injured, as we ll as equipment commonly used in dogfighting . The indictment said dogs that lost fights or fared poorly in test fights were sometimes executed by hanging, electrocution or other brutal means. The grisly details have fueled public protests against Vick and have cost him some lucrative endorsement deals. Vick's charges have also hurt the NFL's image in an ·offseason also marked by of Adam suspensions "Pacman" Jones, Tank Johnson and Chris Henry for o ff- fi eld conduct. Goodell con tends just four players out of about 2,000 in the league are generating most of the scrutiny. .. " I' ve said to Pacman and any player, ' You have to earn your way back into the N'ational Football League and you have to do it through your conduct,"' Goodell said. "It 's not about what you tell the commissioner, or what you tell anyone . It's your conduct and your activities. I was disappointed with some of the activities that Pac man got involved this spring, after we had met and had a lot of discussions. " Michael knows exactly how I feel." Goodell's visit was well received by the Browns . Several of the players asked questions following the commissioner's IS-minute talk that touched upon subjects ranging from concussions to conduct. "It was a treat. It broke camp up for 15 or 20 minutes ," wide receiver Joe Jurevicius said . "Obviously, he 's a man with a lot of power and he'll be the face of the NFL for a while.

During the Browns' twohour practice during a humid afternoon, Goodell and former Cleveland quarterback Bernie Kosar mingled with fans, who had their own questions and comments. Goodell has sensed nothing but positive feedback and support during his tour of the camps. "I'm proud of our players. I'm proud of what they do in the communities and on the field," he said.

"To get the exposure you : need at the mi(l-majors is · very difficult and we've had: to sell our soul to go play a · lot of teams," UC Irvine coach Pat Douglass said. "To . be able to come up here and play three games in four days on a neutral court is kind of unheard of for a mid-major: program." . Organizers said UCLA has: been approached about play-: ing in future years. Arizona: State, Texas A&M and· Oklahoma State already have: committed. Games will be played at the 7,500-seat Anaheim Convention Center, which has hosted the Big West tour-' nament for seven years . As · an exempt event;: schools will be allowed to count only one. game toward the NCAA limit, although all three games they play count: on their records. The Old Spice Classic will: be played for the second con- · secutive year on the same dates at Disney's Wide World of Sports Complex; near Orlando, Fla.

Diaz leads Canadian Women's Open; Wie 10 strokes back after 75 • EDMONTON, . Alberta (AP) - Laura Diaz shot a bogey-free 6-under 65 on Thursday to take the firstround lead in the Canadian Women's Open, while 17year-old Michelle Wle opened with a 75 to drop IO•strokes back . Diaz, coming ,off a second-place tie Sunday in Sweden in the European tour's Scandinavian TPC, made a long birdie putt on the par-4 first hole - her IOth hole of the day on the Royal Mayfair course. "It was just really fun for me to make the 33-footer," Diaz said. It's been what I've. struggled with, so it was nice to see that go in. It puts me in a good frame of mind going into tomor- row." Wie, making her first appearance in the event, closed her late afternoon round with a double bogey on the· par-4 ninth. She also had a double-bogey 6 on No. 12, a bogey on the par5 third and a birdie on the par-4 first. "Who wouldn't be; frustrated today, right?" Wie said. "It's a very frustrating round because I felt like I was driving good and I had two bad holes . l mean, I played very consistently aside from that , made a lot of good par saves. I've just got to break through and shoot a really low score ." Kelli Kuehne and Kyeong Bae opened with 66s , 2005 winner Meena Lee topped a group at 67, and Paula Creamer and Juli Inkster shot 68s. Kuehne has missed the cut in eight of her last nine tournaments. "Have you seen my year?" Kuehne asked. "Just one day at a time. I've got some things I've got to go work on practice-wise. I'll go out tomorrow, add them up when we're done, and keep going." Defending champion Cristie Kerr had a 69. "I didn't putt as well as I would like to," said Kerr, the U.S. Open champion. "I had a lot of chances out there for birdie and I missed a couple of short putts.

Today's kids are taking their cues from the stars of live-action shows on the DiSney Channel, Nickelodeon and the like. "We're definitely seeing trends movin~ toward the moppish look. I've also heard 1t called the blowout. It started on the West Coast and seems to be making its way east," reports Julie V. ., who oversees stylist training at Sport Clips, a ~plus franChise hair salon lhat targets men and boys. The look crosses age !JOOPS, "even high school and the early 20s," she adds. "1be influeoce is from Disitey Channel on up throuuh the music industry and movie stars.:r· In 1993, when the first Sport Oips opened in Georgetown, Texas, the hair icons were Michael Jordan, with his shaved head, and wacky Dennis Rodman, often with tight blond curls, Vargas says. Before that, boys wanted the flat top lhat Brian Bosworth wore. "There's no one who is a frontrwmer to be the icon" now, Vargas says. That has left room for high school and college athletes to make an impression on younger boys - and many of them wear their hair in a longer, fringe style, obset:Ves Amy Williams, chairwoman of the fashion design department at California College of ~ Arts._ The style is associated especially wtth swlllll11eFS, snowboarders and skateboarders, she says.

Otherwise, healthy snacks have trouble competing with sugary and fatty treats for children's attention. • Read food labels and look for whole-grain foods, such as whole-wheat breads, crackers, pasta or com tortillas with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving. Whole-grain foosls aren't just more nutritious than refined grains, they also are more filling. • Model good behavior. Don't expect your child to nosh celery if you're chompfug. on cookies and chips. Teaeb your children moderation, and to balance treats with physical activity. Children need at least an hour of physical activity a day. "All foods can fit into a healthful eating style if consumed jn moderation with appropriate portion size aild combmed with regular physical activity" says Judith Gilbride, registered dietitian and president of the American Dietetic Association. • Aim for more than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, or at least 2 112 cups of vegetables and I 1/2 cups of fruit. For young children, make a game out of counting the servings, perhaps with a wall chart and stickers. Older children cari help select and prepare the food. "Kids- love to be part of the process, decision making, preparation, taste-testing, and of course, enjoying eating" says Dr. Christina Economos at Tuft's Friedman School of Nutrition. • Varieo/ is the best way "!r ensure children get the nutrients they need. Work in as many colors as possible. Again, younger children can use stickers and a rainbow .poster to make a game out of keeping track of all the colors they eat in a day. . And snacks are an easy time to add colors that are trussing. At snack time, ask your children what colors they've eaten that day and what colors they would like to add to their rainbow. ''Teaching school-age children about healthy snac~ng is imperative as this is the parents' last chance to influence their child's eating habits" says Aida Miles, a registered diebtian and head of the American Dietetic Association's pediatric nutrition practice group. • Teach yourself' and your children proper portion control. Many Americans have adopted restaUI'IIJ;It-style portions, which are too big. For easy portion control, use the guidelines on nutrition llibels. • Beverages count. A lot. Juice drinks and sweetened beverage.s amount to · empty sugar calories. Limit 100 percent real juice to 1/2 cup a day. For the rest of the day, Qffer w&Jer (seltzer water can make it more interesting) or milk. Sports beverages can be as bad as soda. Only highly active children need these. • Ttrning matters, too. Snacks should be seiVed at least 1 1/2 to 2 hours btfore meals, otherwise children won't be hungry for dinner. • Get creative. Children love interesting fmger foods, many of which can be purchased already prepared. Sushi, salsa ·and chips, precut slices of cheese with crackers, or sin$leserving bags of baked chips, pretzefs or baby carrots make excellent, easy snacks. ~~~!'~.~ ,._~_. ro . ~pQJ.. _ •Pag~19 .'St8Jidng ~b~I :supplies: _Fights m·t~~-: :,~~~' ·wflfring·wish lists · ' • in~~ sh~ppi'ng and' partneri~g wtth local school~ •.parents ~tijl find .themselves caught up m a 1Jie .._. begins with shop- spectal sort of Au~st madness. ~ · ~. rolling down the !Jley .struggle agamst j::Om~taisle!l of a mammoth office- . mg tides of .ch~os: c!Dshi~P supply store.

"With my kids, snacks are a regular part of their day," says Julie Robarts, a registered dietitian and mother of three from North Reading, Mass. "They grow so fast and they need the energy, but with their small tummies, they can't possibly get all the calories and nutrients they need in just three meals," she says. "We make frequent use of low-fat granola bars, nuts, pretzels, cheese and crackel]l_,.fruits and veggies."
