REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Meigs County Commissioners Tom Anderson and Michael Bartrum, Economic Development Director Perry Varnadoe and Director Christopher Shank of the Department of Job and Family Services heard a pep talk on economic development Wednesday in Columbus. The four men represented Meigs County at the annual Ohio Economic Development Association’s legislative conference and also attended a session of the Ohio Senate, where they were recognized from the floor by Senator Jimmy Stewart, R-Albany. Last week, commissioners discussed the effect possible budget cuts everywhere might have on economic development programs. In Meigs County, the economic development office is run largely from an appropriation of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families money, which is expected to be cut across the board statewide in the next year. Ihle said it is difficult to plan ahead without knowing exactly how budgets will be cut, and economic development leaders across Ohio are sharing the same frustrations. The state budget will not be approved until late May, and all legislators agree it is too early to pitch many specific figures. “It is a waiting game,” Ihle said. “But we hear lots of possibilities, and the message yesterday was ‘let’s think ahead.’” Both Anderson and Ihle agreed the timing for funding cuts in economic development programming is bad, with low See Development, A2 Solace in sharing loss: Honoring crime victims BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Though the old saying goes “times heals everything,” according to Janice VanCooney of Pomeroy, “I haven’t felt it yet.” VanCooney lost her son Robert Harrison in a car crash in 2009. Harrison was on his way home from church when he became one of two victims killed in the deadly crash as a result of a driver who was allegedly under the influence. Members of Harrison’s family, also including his wife, son and sister Candi Ulbrich who read a poem in his memory, were one of many families gathered at this week’s ceremony honoring victims of crime - a gathering held in conjunction with National Crime Victims Rights Week. The ceremony was organized by the Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office and its Victims Assistance Program. The Harrison family wasn’t alone in sharing their grief and honoring a loved one who was a victim of crime. The Harrisons, along with the families of the late Doris Jackson (affectionately known as “Aunt Doe”) Beth Sergent/photo Families of victims of crime gathered this week in Pomeroy to honor the memory of those lost during a special ceremony held to commemorate National Crime Victims Rights Week. The ceremony included this balloon launch on Court Street. and Kenneth Rizer, Sr. created “memory boards” containing photos of their loved ones which were displayed at the ceremony. Also, members of the Hemlock Grove Christian Church created a memory board of the church’s destruction from arson and the new construction underway — showing acts of crime take all forms. Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney Colleen S. Williams addressed those gathered, saying she understood that despite the efforts of the justice system to bring about some sort of closure for their families, “there truly is no real closure once that security is taken away.” Williams also encouraged everyone at the gathering to do their part to make a difference in fighting crime, saying individuals working together can make a difference for all of us. Williams also took a moment to remember recent crime victims Josh Starcher of Meigs County and Summer Inman of Hocking County. Meigs County Commissioner Tim Ihle then spoke about his own experiences being a victim of crime after his wife was robbed at gunpoint at a store the couple owned in Langsville years ago.

By checking the newspaper advertisement, readers can find out if they are entitled to unclaimed funds turned over to the Ohio Division of Unclaimed Funds in the past year. For Meigs County there is a total of 4,073 accounts with a value of $406,271.44. Unclaimed funds are money or the rights to money that have been dormant or forgotten. Some common examples include: dormant checking and savings accounts, forgotten rent and utility deposits, uncashed checks, undelivered stock certificates, and uncashed insurance policies. “Who couldn’t use a little extra money?” said Director Goodman. “I hope that residents of Meigs County will take a couple of minutes to check to see if you, your family or your friends have unclaimed funds. We are committed to returning funds to their rightful owners.” In Fiscal Year 2010, the Division paid 41,992 claims worth more than $55.3 million. The average claim was for $1,318. The Meigs County advertisement will include 171 unclaimed funds accounts worth more than $87,682.

Submitted photo Two more snow days: Calamity days bill now law BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM COLUMBUS — School districts in Meigs County and across the state of Ohio have two more calamity days to claim when it comes to adding up just how many days were spent in the classroom this school year. This week, House Bill 36, which restores the number of school calamity days from three to five in a school year, was signed into law by Gov. John Kasich. “We’ll go back to five calamity days, we’ll give the school districts more options, and of course student safety is a priority . . . but in addition to that, the great bottom line is more sled riding,” Kasich said in a press release about signing the bill into law. The new law takes effect immediately and also allows school districts to increase the length of school days by 30-minute increments to make up unexcused calamity days. The Eastern, Southern and Meigs Local School Districts had all burned through the then three allotted calamity days (and then some) by the beginning of February due to inclement weather. In addition to the new days and adding extra time to school days, districts currently have the options of making up those extra days by shortening vacation breaks, having school on holidays as well as adding days on to the end of the school year. The Kasich Administration supported undoing former Gov. Ted Strickland’s push to take away the extra calamity days which was done to give students more class time. Local Sen. Jimmy Stewart (RAlbany) was a co-sponsor of the senate version of the bill which was introduced by Sen. Tim Grendell (RChesterland). Applications available for septic program BY BRIAN J.

Jean Trussell, the county’s grants and fair housing administrator, announced earlier this month the county had received the state’s maximum award of $165,000 for the repair or replacement of around 15 systems. Those who fall under the low-income guidelines will qualify for 100-percent grant funding, moderate-income homes will receive 75-percent grant funding, but could receive other assistance from fair housing programs.

According to Auditor Mary Byer-Hill, the local economic development office operation is expected to receive $140,000 in TANF funding this year, and another $10,000 from the Community Improvement Corporation. The budget includes $126,427 in personnel expenses and $21,648 for operation and maintenance. Varnadoe works closely with the CIC, Chamber of Commerce and elected officials. An example of the office’s work is the recent receipt of $1 million in loan and grant funding for the construction of a new ‘spec’ building at the East Meigs Industrial Park, Tuppers Plains. That building will be marketed to a manufacturing firm or other business, hopefully relating to alternative energy. Varnadoe and the CIC also worked with Family Healthcare, Inc., Chillicothe, in securing the land needed for its new outpatient health facility at Rocksprings. Honoring From Page A1 Then, a few years later, his wife was working at Peoples Bank in Rutland when it was robbed. Luckily, his wife wasn’t harmed but Ihle became emotional when he talked about seeing crime affect a family member. He added, he felt the remedy was to be a better society and to remember one another in prayers. Other speakers included Connie Quivey who represented Hemlock Grove Christian Church, saying she hoped the four young people who allegedly destroyed the church would come through the rehabilitation process better people and acknowledged all the thoughts, prayers and work of the community to bring the church back to life. Jordan Giuliani, director for the victim assistance program also spoke, as did the office’s advocate, Melissa Rizer. Rizer, whose father-in-law the late Kenneth Rizer, Sr. was killed in a shooting two years ago, spoke both as an advocate and as a member of a family affected by crime. Melissa talked about hoping the ceremony provided recognition for the victims and justice. She also talked about her family’s own frustration and confusion with the justice system but said, “don’t let anger imprison you — we all do get to have our day in court.” Family members then wrote messages on balloons concerning their feelings about crime and its affect on their family and released the balloons over Court Street.

The Daily Sentinel • Page A2 Rising gas prices pushes Meigs County Forecast wholesale costs higher Friday: Partly sunny. A Chance of rain 60 perWASHINGTON (AP) — A spike in the cost of gasoline pushed wholesale prices higher in March, a trend that could limit consumer spending in the coming months. Still, most economists don’t expect that will lead to widespread inflation because businesses are wary of raising prices when most people aren’t getting significant pay increases. Gas at the wholesale level jumped 5.7 percent in March. Much of the price increase is being passed along to consumers, who on Thursday paid an average of $3.81 for a gallon. Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial, said the economy is seeing “a blip” in inflation because of the rise in gas prices, as well as higher foods costs. But “it is just very hard for the broader economy to hold price increases for very long when that blip is causing consumers to curtail spending elsewhere,” she said. Overall, the Producer Price Index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, rose 0.7 percent last month and is up 5.8 percent over the past year, the Labor Department said Thursday. Food prices eased slightly in March after having risen in the previous month by the most in 36 years. Excluding volatile food and energy, inflation at the wholesale level was relatively tame. There were some signs that could change. New cars rose by the most in nearly two years and the cost of some types of furniture jumped. Still, core prices have risen by less than 2.0 percent over the past year, well within the Federal Reserve’s preferred range for inflation. Consumer prices are also increasing but at a slower rate than wholesale costs. The government gives its March reading on those prices Friday. Economists expect the gains will match those made in February. A majority of Fed policymakers, including chairman Ben Bernanke, say the surge in oil and gas prices will lead to only a temporary increase in inflation. For inflation to take off, workers typically have to receive higher wages, which hasn’t happened. Average hourly pay has only risen 1.7 percent in the past year, a fact that has kept inflation from spreading. Employers have little incentive to raise pay when the unemployment rate is high. Businesses are also unlikely to raise prices by much if they sense people can’t afford to pay the added costs. A separate Labor report showed that the number of people seeking unemployment benefits increased to 412,000 last week. Applications near 375,000 are consistent with a sustained increase in hiring. Applications peaked during the recession at 659,000. The four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, rose to 395,750. However, applications have dropped about 6 percent over the past two months. At the same time, businesses have stepped up hiring. Companies added more than 200,000 jobs in March for the second straight month, the first time that has happened since 2006. The unemployment rate fell to a two-year low of 8.8 percent and has dropped a full percentage point since November “Unfortunately, wage growth has not been commensurate with the pickup in job creation,” said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist at Miller Tabak. “The economy can add a zillion jobs but if wage growth is not coincident ... purchasing power is likely to be constrained.” US worried Iran may be supporting Syrian crackdown slight chance of showers in the afternoon.

ATTEND CHURCH �The Daily Sentinel FAITH • VALUES Faith in action Stepping out of the boat seems so like a crazy thing to do. Rocking the boat seems even crazier. Jesus was a revolutionary. He did not tolerate the status quo. He was a radical. When He saw injustice, He spoke up about it. What does that have to do with today’s believers? Followers of Christ have long been labeled as “crazy”, “trouble-makers”, and even “rebels.” The early Christians were rounded up and thrown into prisons and even to the lions in the coliseum. They were considered criminals and yet the faith spread. It could not be contained. From cities to villages, the message of the risen Savior spread. People took a hold of the Gospel in a real, deep way. They could not contain it. So why do we not see that from most Christians today? One of the things we tend not to do as believers is to be honest. We close our eyes to a lot of things. We see injustice. We see wrong things going on and we remain silent. We have become so afraid to offend that when injustice is obviously before us, we turn away. We become blind, deaf and fall silent like the grave. The goal of a Christian is to be like Christ. Really? Jesus sat in the temple and fashioned whip. HE FASHIONED A WHIP! He then used that whip on the moneychangers. He was angry and fed up with the corruption. He drove them from the temple. He did not sit off to the sidelines. He did something. So what are Christians to do? STOP COMPLAINING! Get up off your pew and do something. Have a plan, but do something. The drug problem in this county is disgusting. I hate drugs. I hate them. I have no tolerance for a drug dealer. You make a choice to peddle posion which destroys teens, families and our society — I do not have sympathy for you. You deserve the full penalty according to our laws. (That doesn’t mean God can’t save your soul, but I won’t tolerate you selling your junk around me or my family.) Right is right and wrong is wrong. If every Carrie Wolfe Christian stood up and said enough is enough, I will act in faith. I will not watch the drug problem grow. I will be apart of the solution and not enable the problem. NO MORE! NO MORE! And quite frankly I don’t care who you are. If you are a cop and you let it slide — shame on you and I pray that God Almighty brings your corruption to light. (And He will.) If you are a public official of any type and you are wishy-washy about drugs — I pray you either wake up or get elected OUT OF OFFICE. The devil owns the fence people, wake up and get with it. Believers start moving, get your faith in action. At some point, we will have to give an accounting of our lives. I refuse to stand before Jesus with nothing but a comfortable “stay in the boat/don’t rock the boat” life. Not me. How about you? It is not just drugs, it is injustice. Abuse, neglect, laziness on the job, whatever is against not only the laws of man, but God as well. Being lazy and slacking on the job is against God Word. We are to be doing everything as we are doing it for the Lord, not to please man, but to please God. Wake up. The time is coming for the Body of Christ to quit complaining and start acting. Some have been acting, but how many more are silent like the grave? Guess what, Christ defeated the grave! Get up and take a stand! Rock that boat, even step out of it, Jesus will meet you there every time you do! Step out in faith. Get your faith in action and live a life of Grace Out Loud! Page A4 Friday, April 15, 2011 Rio Chorale to present Bible in song RIO GRANDE — The University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College’s Masterworks Chorale will present its spring concert on Sunday, April 17 at 3:30 p.m. The concert, “King James Bible: Celebrating 400 years of the Authorized Version in Song (1611-2011),” will be held in the Berry Fine and Performing Arts Center on the Rio Grande campus. The show is free and open to the public. The concert will feature seven choral pieces by well-known composers such as Felix Mendelssohn, Henry Purcell, C.H.H. Parry, William Billings, and Samuel Sebastian Wesley, with texts taken from the “King James Version” of the Bible. The Masterworks Chorale currently has 25 members and is made up of Rio Grande students and area residents. The members of the group include people of all ages and backgrounds, as first-year students at Rio Grande often sing with retirees from the community. The members rehearse together regularly and work hard to put together an excellent concert. Several performers will be featured in the concert, including Gallia County resident Allyson Johnston who is singing a solo. The quartet of Diana Randolph from Gallia County, Nathan Wood from Gallia County, Scott Vargo from Gallia County and Judy Linder from Gallia County will also be featured in one of the songs during the concert. The Masterworks Chorale is filled with talented musicians, and area residents will enjoy hearing the performance. “It’s going to be a good concert,” said Director Clay Price, Ph.D. ‘And not only will area residents enjoy hearing the songs performed during the show, they will also be able to learn a little more about the songs and their composers. I’ll be providing a little bit of background information throughout the concert on the significance of some of the pieces and how they fit in historically,” Price explained All of the songs contain texts from the King James Version of The Bible, and Price also provided background information on the King James Version of The Bible. “In 1603 James VI of S co t l an d acc e d e d t o t h e throne of England (as James I of England). At the 1604 Hampton Court Conference, James I was persuaded that a new translation was needed t o rep l ace th e p e r c e i v e d problems of the earlier translations as detected by the Puritans. By the first half of the 18th c e n t u r y, the Authorized Version was effectively unchallenged as the English translation used i n An g l i can and other Protestant churches. Over the course of the 18th century, the Authorized Version supplanted the Latin Vulgate as the standard version of scripture for English speaking scholars,” Price said. “British sailors took the Bible on voyages around the globe; through the work of the East India Company it was taken to India and to the colonies in Africa, Australia and New Zealand. This is one reason why English is now a world language. The Bible is read in countries around the world; art, literature and music have been based on language and stories from the Bible. The Authorized Version has been called ‘the most influential version of the most influential book in the world, in what is now its most influential language‘, ‘the most important book in English religion and culture‘, and ‘the most celebrated book in the Englishspeaking world‘. It has contributed 257 idioms to English, more than any other single source, including Shakespeare.” The songs in the concert include a range of styles, and some are pieces that have been sung in churches for generations. The concert is one that all area residents of all ages will enjoy, and all area residents are encouraged to attend.

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �The Daily Sentinel FAITH • FAMILY On spiritual warfare Last week I asked if you believed in miracles; it seems many of you do. Cool! This week’s topic has to do with “spiritual warfare.” Ever heard of it? Experienced it? If you’re one of the uninitiated, bear with me: this isn’t a scary topic; but it is quite relevant. Just as miracles are the stuff of God, spiritual warfare is the domain and work of Satan — the not-so-public Enemy of God’s people. True: another name for the Evil One is “the devil.” Miracles are real, and so is the Almighty — but only to those attuned to God’s Spirit. Sad to say, many are not so attuned or prudent in their priorities. This lack of sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, along with His assumed presence in the church — I say again: assumed, but not specifically invited — is precisely what inhibits and even precludes meaningful church growth on the one hand, and enables Satan to do his evil work in the lives of people in the church on the other. Absent the Holy Spirit, expect spiritual warfare. Let’s suppose there are things which separate “the men from the boys.” Now, then — it is both naïveté and, worse, the patronization of God’s Holy Spirit which separates immature and stagnant Christians from those who are mature and seriously committed to Thomas Johnson the Lord. None other than the Holy Spirit provides us with the power to surrender our lives to Jesus, and then to live our lives effectively in His service. With Christ there’s life in our respective churches. Conversely, without the Spirit’s presence and power a church may be physically functioning but, spiritually, it’s dead! Jesus, never one to mince his words, referred to the antagonistic and un-Godly Pharisees in like manner — i.e., as “white-washed sepulchers” (Matt. 23:27.) Many churches suffer from this malady, because they’ve allowed something, or someone, to preempt God’s Spirit. Come Sunday, the church of Jesus Christ becomes, for many, another Burger King-like establishment where, as we all know, you can have it “your way.” By the way: when you describe the church you attend as “your church” ... is it, really? Or, is it truly God’s Church? Those in the pews who expect the pastor to tickle their ears and cater to their whims and wishes most assuredly are not surrendered to Jesus. In such an environment you can be certain the Lord is not in charge and that that church is “conflicted.” By the way: the will of God is not need, nor speed, or greed; the will of God is peace. I suspect the reason God’s peace so often eludes our comprehension is because we’re too busy insisting on having things “our way” — as opposed to submitting to God, that His will be done. If in any church you sense the presence of one or more prima donnas, of some pooh-bah whose posturing suggests you need to kow-tow to them, there the Enemy has been active and successful in taunting and tempting the people to expect and demand their will be done. But of course this is nothing new “under the sun;” far from it. Jesus contended with the Pharisees, who imagined they were peerless in righteousness and their knowledge of Scripture. Leave it to a certain carpenter’s son to openly confront them, and challenge their bona fides. Ananias and Sapphira conspired to cheat the church of the full profits from the sale of a certain piece of property, then paid with their lives for their deception (cf. Acts 5:1-11). The point being twofold: first, in the heat of temptation don’t lose your cool; and second, if we’re going to claim the name of Christ, it behooves us to act in a way consistent with His life and precepts. Aye, now: there’s the rub; we’re not Jesus. For a fact, our Lord was totally reliant upon God’s Spirit. Why, then, does the mere mention of the Spirit so confuse, confound, irritate and antagonize certain Christians today?!? Could it be they have given themselves over to the Enemy, inadvertently — by default? Perhaps they’ve grown cold and old in their faith, and have become stagnant instead of daily being challenged, stimulated, and inspired anew by Christ’s presence and power?!? How sad. Greater than anyone is our glorious Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ: He rules ... He rocks!!! Spiritual warfare is no game; it’s real, it’s serious, and it’s deadly — and Peter has warned us to beware our common nemesis (1 Peter 5:8-9). He’s out there, always looking for his next victim; don’t let it be you! Only the Lord can withstand him: live your life accordingly, in peace. (Rev. Thomas Johnson is pastor of Trinity Church in Pomeroy, Ohio.) Caution: Gas-pedal depressing can cause depression One of the several reasons I enjoy umpiring high school baseball games is because of driving to the local fields in my 1973 Chevy Impala. One of the advantages of the car is that it has such a large and accessible trunk I can neatly arrange my gear in it. But, the main thing is that it is a pleasure to drive. I particularly enjoy cruising at the speed limit along the ways and listening to the headers mutter and the pipes putter. Occasionally, too, there are opportunities to (safely!) pass other vehicles, and, because of the power that can be generated so quickly by the 400 horses under the hood with a quick depressing of the gas pedal, there is a consequential rush that rather makes me smile. However, after last Saturday, a certain experience has stirred in me a certain caution about any future gas-pedal depressing for the quick-speed sort. I had a double-header scheduled in Ravenswood. Instead of taking the usual course to the high school, I crossed the Ohio River and picked up the very nicetraveling Route 33 East just outside of Pomeroy, Ohio. I had plenty of Ron Branch time, and was enjoying the scenery and sounds at 50 mph. Eventually, a truck pulling a horse trailer traveling at a slow rate of speed came into sight. The consideration of passing this vehicular combo was justified in my mind. First, it was going too slow. Second, extended following of an animal trailer is not good because of their spontaneous excrements which sometimes get spewed rearward onto followers. Third — yes — for the aforementioned reason, too. With the way clear, I began to smile expectantly as I dropped the shifter into second gear. But, when I asserted my right foot with a quick depressing of the gas pedal, I simultaneously heard a loud bang and saw the hood bow slightly. I quickly put the transmission into neutral and pulled off to the side of the road. There was a noticeable vibration, and I could see a sizeable hole in the hood. I thought for sure that the sudden acceleration had caused a rod to be thrown from the engine. I groaned inwardly with that thought, and rued the result of my sensual action. By way of comparison for most people, life is full of sensual horse power. There is that inner drive to depress the physical and emotional gas pedal at every opportunity for the temporal and temporary pleasure innate with it. The only problem is that many sensual pleasures at hand to experience run contrary to the expressed will of God for our lives. A major consideration often ignored has to do with the breaking of the Law of God. While many pleasurable things are right and good to experience, there are those which are not justifiable — for good reason. The problem is that sensual pleasures clearly contrary to the expressed will of God often cause a certain depression of the soul and spirit not worth it. You can lose a bit of your soul every time you depress the pedal of sen- sual living resulting in no small vibration of your life and the lives of those around you. The most dynamic aspect of the consideration is confronted by the Lord, who asked, “For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself?” Christ died on the Cross and rose from the dead that we may have abundant life, not broken life gaping and gasping with open holes. Therein lies the depression of it all, for many most certainly experience it in consequence to life lived with reckless and intentional sensual abandon in the face of Godly expectations. God’s ways for living is far better. In the meantime, it became apparent what happened. The assertion of horse power caused a section of the fan to break off at the moment of the quick depressing of the gas pedal, sheered off part of the shroud, and punctured a hole through the hood. I might need to lay off quick depressing of the pedal. (Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.) Page A5 Friday, April 15, 2011 Word of God is your success handbook Thousands of dollars are made from thousands of books and articles on success around the world. This is one of the most read and sought after topics on the planet. Writers and speakers are constantly sought after to implement tips on success from their experiences. People crave for success. People want success. Americans want success in their private lives, in their minds, in their homes, in the marriages, in the families, and in their businesses. Success is what most people live for. But success is more than just the application or the modeling of somebody else’s success. Success is more than dollars and cents. Think of it this way; Encyclopedias impart knowledge of people, places and events. Dictionaries provide knowledge and definitions of words. Periodicals provide articles about many different subjects. But nothing is as important as the Wisdom of God for communicating Laws of Success for your life. Success comes out of a successful mindheart combination. In other words, success is first in the heart before it can become true success through the hand. True success is that which stands the tests and trials of life when all else fails around it. Call me biased or whatever you want, but I am convinced and believe that only one book exists that can impart this kind of success. There is no other book on earth like the Bible. Millions of books have been written about every subject under the sun. There are many good books that deal with all areas of life from how to raise a child to how to obtain the American Dream. But there is no other book that deals with these subjects and every other subject under the sun as well and as wise as the Bible does. The Word of God is the wisdom of God. It imparts wisdom to all areas of life. One thing is to know about any particular situation, but it is Alex Colon another thing altogether how to apply that which we know. Knowledge is one thing, but applied knowledge is yet another. In fact, the Word of God is so powerful that it is the only book on earth that implies and is 100 percent truth. Amazing! This Word is the only Word that you can stand on knowing that it will be fulfill. In other words, it will do what it says it will do. When everything else fails and when so many people’s lives are falling apart, yet the Word of God continues to provide the expertise, the nuts and bolts of true relationships, true business dealings, and life with character. The Word of God is so powerful that it is the only book that has had so much opposition and persecution from those whose knowledge and personal opinions of life have been challenged. The Word of God gives life to a dying situation, it brings comfort to the weary, it provides peace in the midst of a storm, it brings relieve to pain, and joy to a depressed heart. It also provides hope to a hopeless man, and success to every area of life. The Word of God is a book of success. If you want success in your marriage, life, finances and so forth, look for it in the Word of God. The Word of God is the best handbook for your success. Read it, Study it, Believe it, Live by it and Apply its principles — this will bring you true success. It’s God’s promise. Look at Joshua 1 and Mark 11 and John 15. Make it a Great Successful Day!

B RO T H E R S Competing with the dead Dear Dr. Brothers: How are you supposed to act when your girlfriend constantly brings up her dead ex-boyfriend? At first I was very understanding. Her ex was killed in a car accident three years ago, and every once in a while she would break into crying fits. I know it sounds horrible, but I find that the more she brings him up, the less sympathetic I feel. I am really in love with her, but I don’t know how to handle this anymore. — L.B. Dear L.B.: What an awful situation for both of you. I am afraid I am not one to say that your girlfriend has had a long enough time to mourn and get over it, although some would declare that it is time for her to move on. In fact, she actually has moved on by being in a serious relationship with you, and that may even be causing some of her discomfort and lingering mourning. Let me explain. She may — quite subconsciously — be feeling guilty for finding someone she loves as much as, or even more than, the boy who was killed. This makes her behavior doubly rewarding to her own psyche — by breaking down often, she can show that she truly did love him. At the same time, her tears let you know that she is not the type of girl who is disloyal to her loved ones. The problem is, you are stuck with this phantom rival who will never marry someone else, tell her to get lost or find out he is actually gay. You are indeed competing with a ghost, and there’s not much you can do about it that won’t make you look small and jealous. So if you can hang on without this issue ruining your relationship, you likely will be able to move past it at some point. When you are able to bring your own love to a new level — perhaps engagement, living together or marriage — your girlfriend may be able to envision a future with you at the center. Good luck. ••• Dear Dr. Brothers: What do you say to your ex when he asks you to go away on a “no-stringsattached” weekend? My ex-husband and I have been divorced almost 10 years and have a better relationship now than we The Daily Sentinel • Page A6 www.mydailysentinel.com PHS alumni reunion Majority of GOP freshmen vote for plans underway spending bill BY JIM ABRAMS ASSOCIATED PRESS Dr. Joyce Brothers did when we were married. We have a grown son, so we talk to each other quite frequently. In all this time, he’s never seemed interested in rekindling anything, and now he asks me this interestingly phrased question. I really don’t know what to think or do. — K.F. Dear K.F.: If you have been in touch with your ex all these years, you must have a fair idea of his dating history and love life — or lack of it — since you parted. It could be simply that he hasn’t connected with anyone, and that he is lonely. Or, he could have had a relationship that went sour and he’s looking to get back in the saddle, as it were — and you were the first one he thought of to serve the purpose. Or, it’s possible that it is all about you and him — he’s lived without you for a decade, and he liked things better when you were together, maybe. So he wants to rekindle the romance. All of this is quite a bit to contemplate, I agree. I think that before your mind starts racing out of control, you had better talk to him again specifically about this topic. Since you have no reason to beat around the bush, just ask him outright what he has in mind and why he’s suggesting this weekend now. Let him know that you were caught by surprise and that you need to understand his motivations. I assume you have good enough ex-radar to detect whether he’s only telling you what you want to hear — whatever that might be — or really opening up with honest feelings. In any case, this is something you should think about pretty seriously before you agree to it. “No strings attached” and “ex-husband” just might be emotionally mutually exclusive. (c) 2011 by King Features Syndicate WASHINGTON — Most of the 87 House Republican freshmen who came to Washington promising not to give ground to the establishment swallowed hard Thursday and voted for the compromise worked out by Speaker John Boehner and President Barack Obama on keeping the government running for the next six months. “I’m going to take it, saddle up again tomorrow and get more,” said Rep. Rob Woodall of Georgia. While the $38 billion in cuts in the current budget year may be inadequate, “nothing is worthwhile until the president signs it into law,” he said. The freshmen have been in the forefront in demanding that the Democratic-led Senate go along with a House bill requiring deeper cuts of $61 billion for the budget year ending Sept. 30. The legislation, the result of an eleventh-hour compromise last Friday that averted a government shutdown, passed 260-167, with 59 Republicans and 108 Democrats voting against it. Among the GOP freshmen, many elected on a platform to dramatically downsize the federal government, 60 were for the measure and 27 against. “Sometimes we need to wring the mop out a few times to clean up the mess,” said Rep. Jeff Landry, explaining his “yes” vote despite the bill’s smaller spending cuts than many freshmen had hoped for. He said there were other factors in his “yes” vote, such as the inclusion of a provision barring the District of Columbia from using either federal or locally raised taxes for abortions and the certainty that military personnel would not see their pay interrupted.. Also important, he said, was that the agreement reached with the White House allowed for separate votes on stripping funds from Planned Parenthood and the 2010 health care law, even though the Senate is certain to overturn the House votes. On the whole, most freshmen appeared to agree with Rep. Lou Barletta of Pennsylvania: “There are many members with many ideas on how to get this done,” he said. But at least, “we are moving the ball down the road.” Among the freshmen voting against the bill were Tim Huelskamp of Kansas, who said he was against any bill that cuts less than $61 billion and was disturbed by a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that, because of federal outlays already in the pipeline and delays in putting the new spending cuts into effect, the actual savings this year would only be about $352 million. “In the last two hours, the country has borrowed about $352 million, so we’re making no progress in getting out of the red,” he said. Rep. Allen West of Florida, another no vote, said he originally voted for $100 billion in cuts “and now we are coming to find out that this is not a big cut.” The Republican leadership, he said, “needs to sit down and have a ‘come to Jesus’ with themselves.” Another in the group, Rep. Joe Walsh of Illinois, said he was “as genuinely undecided as a human being can be,” but finally came down against the bill because “it was just not nearly enough for where I think we need to be in this spending crisis.” “Much of the savings reached in the compromise was achieved through budgetary gimmicks and questionable Washington arithmetic,” said Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, who voted no. Rep. Tim Scott of South Carolina said Boehner did a “fabulous job” in making the bill “digestible for a majority in Congress.” But Scott, who voted against it, also noted that a survey back home in South Carolina found that 75 percent of Republicans were against the bill.

The visiting Blue Devils (1-2, 1-1 SEOAL) won both doubles contests and two of three singles matches to pick up their first triumph of the Devils from Page B1 County. The Blue Devils (6-2, 4-0 SEOAL) maintained their position atop the league standings with the victory, despite an early offensive surge by the visiting Ironmen (2-7, 12). JHS stormed out to a 3-0 advantage in its opening at-bat and tacked on another run in the second for a comfortable 4-0 cushion.
