Distribution took place Thursday morning and before the doors opened at 10 a.m. students, many accompanied by parents, were lined up in front of the Center waiting for the doors to open. While 155 had registered in advance for school supplies, 81 more came as walk-ins, according to Nancy Thoene of the parish staff. She said everyone went away with a well-filled backpack. Again this year State Representative Debbie Phillips (D-Athens) was on hand to help distribute backpacks to area children. She had brought along 50 of the backpacks donated as part of the Office Depot Foundation’s Annual National Backpack Program in partnership with the National Foundation for Women Legislators (NFWL).

For those that qualify, we can reduce the payment even further, to as low as 1-%, based on the household income. However there is great security in knowing that it can never exceed the fixed rate.” Rutherford said. In addition, the applicants must have maintained a satisfactory credit history, have a stable source of income and meet repayment guidelines, along with other eligibility criteria. Income limits vary according to family size and county of residence. POMEROY — During their regular meeting Thursday, Meigs County Commissioners approved the issuance of bonds by Gallia County to financially support the merger of Holzer Medical Center and Holzer Clinic. Approving the issuance of bonds doesn’t pose any liability or cost to Meigs County though the merger required the commission’s approval since one of the bodies involved, Holzer Meigs Clinic, rests within the county. Attorney Erin Sutton, representing the firm of Peck and Shaffer, said the merger will result in the new Holzer Health Systems and Holzer Meigs Clinic would stay open. Sutton said there has been talk of expanding clinic services and a study is being done on an emergency room for Meigs County. Commissioners also renewed contracts for Doug Lavender as both EMS and 911 Director. Lavender also informed commissioners, Meigs EMS now has Lifepack 12 monitors on the county’s two, primary medic trucks and the medic truck in Syracuse.

We still have work to do, but I’m sure they’re going to do an excellent job.” Wahama Marching Band follows the military marching style of six steps to five yards (6 to 5), which was inspired by the marching style of Texas A&M University and implemented by a former band director, which Jackson said he plans to continue. “Our marching style is so unique and particular to the school, I feel that it’s essential to have an alumnus come back to the program, and because I am an alumnus, I see the value in this rich tradition,” Jackson said. Jackson said he wants to focus on the Seeder Program at New Haven Elementary and encourage more students to get involved with the band, inspire them to grow and help them continue their development as they move up.

Music and other art programs, he said, allow students to step outside of the traditional classroom and see everything in a new way. “Music is never the same thing twice — it always changes. I feel that music is necessary for all students regardless of whether or not they’re in band. I think it’s good to be in choir, to study the history of music or be involved with music in some manner,” Jackson said. In Jackson’s pride at returning to his alma mater, he said he is looking forward to seeing the marching band perform for a large crowd to their first home game verses Trimble High School on September 2, as well as at the Fourth Annual White Falcon Invitational Marching Band Competition on October 1. “I’m really excited to work under the leadership of Kenny Bond, my former band director and the acting principal, and Melissa VanMeter, the assistant principal,” Jackson said. “I’m really excited for this opportunity and it’s going to be a great season, so come out and support the band.” Mason County Forecast Friday: Patchy dense fog before 8 a.m. Otherwise, sunny, with a high near 86.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I am a woman who has always been taught that sex is evil and that if I do it before marriage, I will go straight to hell. I know that these views probably are pretty extreme, and that not everyone thinks this way, but since that is the way I was brought up, I don’t know if I can ever get rid of the guilty feelings I experience when I do have sex (I am not married). I am not a teenager, I am 32, and I think I should be more of a grownup, but I don’t know how. — P.H. Dear P.H.: You are right that it is very hard to divorce ourselves from a belief system that has been part of our upbringing from a young age. It is absolutely not surprising or unusual that you would have feelings of guilt or shame if you are going against your religious upbringing and having sex outside of marriage. Obviously you have decided that this particular part of your religious background is not one you can continue to support — but what about the rest? Have you made a break from your parents’ religion, or are you still trying to please them or yourself by hanging on and trying to follow its precepts, even though you may find them hollow? Part of being the grownup you aspire to be is taking responsibility for your beliefs and incorporating them into your lifestyle and behavior. No religion is worthwhile if you fight its teachings or feel guilty for not following them. A recent study by a researcher at the University of Kansas found that how guilty people feel about sex varies. The study found that once people leave religion, their reported enjoyment of sex greatly increases. I hope you don’t have to seek such a drastic remedy and can reconcile your sex life with your religion. *** Dear Dr. Brothers: I went through a divorce about 10 years ago after a 26-year marriage, and I honestly never understood what all the fuss was about. Our three kids are fine, and my ex and I remain friends. Although I spent years thinking about and Dr. Joyce Brothers planning for the breakup, I was surprised at how painless it was. Now I have been dumped by my soul mate of four years, and I am devastated. I can’t imagine my life without him, and don’t get why I can’t cope now. — L.E. Dear L.E.: You may have dodged a bullet the first time around because even though you had a very long marriage with three children, you must have had very little emotional connection with your husband. Just describing your boyfriend of four years as your soul mate tells me a lot. You have only the good times to reflect upon — not a long period of declining interest or emotional connection like you had with your husband. The fact that you can’t imagine life without him means that you did a lot of things together and had plenty to share and talk about. So it is natural to feel like there will be a huge hole in your life that you don’t know how to fill. But there is more to it. Now you look ahead and can’t see the future, whereas when you broke up with your husband, you probably were more than ready for dating, romance and love. You had spent years preparing yourself and fantasizing about being free. But now, as the dumpee, you are in a whole different boat. Don’t underestimate the difference between being in control of the breakup and being the one who is tossed out without warning. It can indeed be devastating. You also might be feeling a little bit like a twotime loser, and your confidence in the ability to sustain a relationship has been shaken. Give yourself a break — and time.

For the fair, 1,000 prolife fans have been purchased for as well as ribbon magnets, key chains and other pro-life items to sell. The schedule for the booth was discussed and what baked goodies would be for sale. Wayne then led the discussion of the Motorcycle Rally, scheduled for Sept. 24.

Hotdogs and Most people have heard about the 30-second spot in the 2010 Super Bowl that Focus on the Family purchased. Though many threatened to boycott CBS, the station refused to buckle under and permitted the ad to take place. Tebow’s mother gave a short summary of her pregnancy with Tim and how the doctor advised her to abort him. In Tebow’s book, he tells of his parents being missionaries to the Phillippines when he was in utero. There was pain and bleeding from the beginning of the pregnancy and Tim’s mother was advised to abort if she wanted to live. The Tebows were a deeply devout couple and God gave them indescribable peace about carrying the pregnancy to term. Through My Eyes can be purchased at any bookstore or at Amazon.com.

Much of that advice was fed me by my own parents, but mine wasn’t a unique experience. Virtually all my peers were subjected to the same sort of maturation rites, with their parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and a host of others likewise imparting to them assorted bits of wisdom. Through the ages I’ve known numerous such “sages,” and it does my heart good to know today there are those able and willing to inspire me with practical insights they’ve acquired or evolved. Take, for instance, the Methodists across the street. This week they quote the all-time-great baseball icon, Babe Ruth, who said ... “Never let the fear of striking out get in your way.” Down the street, the Lutherans have posted this: ... Whoever has a heart full of love always has something to share.” I discern a very real connection between these two concepts. Were it not for those Christians who, in days gone by, took seriously the Great Commission, and whose hearts were infused with the love of Christ Jesus himself, I doubt many of us would be His disciples today. Of course, in any one human endeavor there is always the possibility of striking out, of making an error—even one of such consequence as to cost you or your team the game, that day. So what? Get over it! Truly, Babe Ruth was unique in the annals of baseball; all-in-all, he had no peers. However, he never claimed to be perfect; and, for sure, he knew what it was to strike out. Nevertheless, when the next time came around for him to go to bat—he did! Only those who go down and stay down are doomed to failure; those who try again and, if need be, again and again, sooner or later will achieve what it is they are striving for. So, let’s know what our goals and objectives are, and let our motivation be real and compelling, too. If you were to shoot an arrow, or bullet, at nothing in particular, you might hit something—but I certainly would hope and pray I wasn’t the “to whom it may concern” in harm’s way of your projectile! Those who follow baseball see it in a much-different light than do I, but allow me to say baseball generally Thomas Johnson is experienced as a game played by two teams at a time. Regardless of the outcome of any such game one day, come the next the world still will revolve around the sun. While Christians live their lives under this same sun, there is a greater Son for us to acclaim and proclaim, whose real suffering and love it is ours to emulate—and of which the world-as-a-whole suffers in ignorance. I refer, of course, to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In America we live under the misguided notion there is meant to be a “separation of the Church from the State,” that nothing political ought to be infringed upon or influenced by the Church. Accordingly, our youth are no longer allowed to pray or read the Bible in school: mustn’t offend others who don’t believe in God: it isn’t “politically correct,” don’t you know?!? Prior to meeting him face-to-face and getting to know him, one of Jesus’ most disciples dared to ask if anything good could ever possibly come out of Nazareth (Jn.1:46). Once they met, that same disciple, Nathaniel, affirmed Jesus as “the Son of God” and “the King of Israel!” Now, then—let us NOT be so dogmatic as to declaim, or deny, that anything “good” can ever come out of Washington, D.C., or Columbus, Ohio. God may not be entirely or overtly welcome there, but even where God is patronized He’s still in control ... “working in mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.” The Church does NOT exist to endorse the activities of the State; such has never been its purpose. Nor is the Church to submit to the government, as happened in Nazi Germany. The Church might become the bane of the State, challenging and/or opposing it. As the State instigates and sanctions wars, who better than—indeed, who else but the God-anointed and appointed representatives of the Prince of Peace to say “NO!” to evil of any form, or every type, everywhere. Now, then—be a blessing to others: share your love for God; make a difference. Point Pleasant Register • Page A5 An open letter to my wonderful wife BY PASTOR RON BRANCH Dearest Terry, You know that Aug. 9 of this week marked a significant date for us, and I have on my heart a desire to write to you a reflection about it. First, it marked our thirty-sixth wedding anniversary. You know how much I rejoice over lengthy marriages of others that effectively stand through the years. Our marriage is attaining some age, too, these days, and I especially rejoice about our lengthy marriage. May we continue to have many more years together as husband and wife. I am still so very happy that we have been a team during these many years. I still say that I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. I still love you with that same excitement I felt that day in the Fall of 1973. It was God who moved you to eventually love me, because there is certainly nothing very lovable about me. After all, you referred to me as the “red-neckiest West Virginian you had ever encountered.” Ron Branch But, when He put us together, the timing and circumstances for both of us were clearly according to His will. Even after all these years since August 9th, 1975, at the Sharon Missionary Baptist Church in Lisbon, Maryland, His will for us that we have a life-long marriage with one another still finds glad affirmation. You have been such a great friend to me, the best that I have. Your friendship is a comfort to my soul. You have undergirded me when stress has pressed me. You have assuaged anger in me with caring and patience. You listen when I need to talk. You smile ever so slightly and sweetly when I exude macho and braggadocio. Above all, you have been a faithful presence. Without a doubt, I do, indeed, like you very much. You are a Godly woman. Moral and spiritual richness and vitality flow from your daily life. You spend time with the Lord. You enrich our family with your dedication to Him. You serve faithfully in the church. The Word of God states, “Whoso finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord.” With you I have oh, most certainly, found a good thing. Because of you, I have also found much favor from the Lord. I thank the Lord for you. Second, our anniversary day also marks that first day that Eran spent in Heaven. It was on the day of our twenty-seventh anniversary that God saw fit to take Eran from our home to His Home. He has been in Heaven for nine years now. As God blessed us with six sons, we never contemplated that the Lord would see fit to take one of the boys from us here at such at early age to be with Him there. Yet, you have been so wonderful despite the harsh reality of it all. I know you still grieve. Times are that you cry. You miss him, like we all do. But, you grieve well. You have not lost faith in the Lord. You trust in Him for comfort and peace. It still amazes me that I broke down before you did after we had seen his broken body. I will never forget how you held up for me with the strength of God when I desperately required the strength of God. You are Even on the 9th of this week, you were glad to say to me about us, “Happy Anniversary, my Beloved.” You do not allow Eran’s departure day to overshadow the remembrance of our celebration. As a matter of fact, our celebration has been two-fold these past nine years when we peacefully factor that Eran is still alive, but living in a far better place. I do so much appreciate your heart, your mindset, and your attitude for wanting to live out your life with me. In the mean time, since we did not get to go anywhere on Tuesday, how about a date tonight? Call me. Forever-and-aday…Ron. A hunger for more BY THOM MOLLOHAN Not a day goes by that we should fail to look about us in bright-eyed wonder at the glorious work of our Creator. Whenever the red-gold light of dawn breaks the bonds of night’s embrace, we should celebrate anew the Father’s provision of a brand new day. Whenever we see the twinkling lights of heaven peering down at us from a velvet sky or when the aura of the waxing moon casts its silver countenance upon the world, we should give thanks to God. When we stop in quiet delight when spring blossoms, summer flowers or autumn leaves color the world, delight should fill our hearts. And when we find ourselves stunned by the shocking repercussions of a blast of thunderous lightning, awe should fill our hearts and praise of God fill our mouths. And if these mere created things should fill our hearts with wonder, how much more then should we tremble and gasp at the incredible grace of God Who reached down to humanity through the outspread hands of His Son, Jesus? And what a famished life is his who does not pause and engage the spiritual spheres of his life, perhaps not recognizing that the short time we spend here on earth is not intended to be anything but a realm of incubation as Creator God seeks to raise up a people for Himself who “will love Him in Spirit and in Truth” (John 4:23-24). Thom Mollohan A lot of folks describe themselves as being “spiritual”, yet fail to see that true spirituality is incomprehensibly more than the mere appreciation of those things that are unseen. It is rather the product of our grappling with the fact of God’s activity in the world around us and particularly His pursuit of our own hearts. He is a God Who, having spoken the world into existence from a void of empty darkness, has made for Himself of paramount concern our welfare, searching the world over for the hearts of men, women and children that will turn to Him, opening up to the sunlight of His love as flowers do when the morning sun shines upon them. Through Jesus Christ we are given the doorway to know God personally and be given a destiny other than the one we’d surely find if we remained in our sin. If you want to know God, then you must want to know Jesus. And if you do know Jesus, then you must want to make Him known. “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, Who came from the Father, full of grace and truth…. To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God…. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and (children of God) have been given fullness in Christ, Who is the head over every power and authority” (John 1:14, 12-13; Colossians 2:9-10 NIV). It’s a strange thing that we can be awestruck by natural wonders and yet fail to be knocked to our knees in fervent worship of the One Who commands them. But once we are caught up in the perpetual novelty of Jesus, His grace and glory overwhelm us. His wisdom and power amaze us. And His holiness and mercy humble us. Only a “god” who is truly boundless in every way deserves the lifelong passion and devotion that our God deserves. And even as we begin to appreciate the majesty of this measureless God, as feeble as such appreciation is, we have finally begun to live out in truth the meaning of life. “Through Him you believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and glorified Him, and so your faith and hope are in God. Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring Word of God. For, ‘All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of the Lord stands forever.’ And this is the word that was preached to you” (1 Peter 1:21-25 NIV). So, while the world screams by you, racing madly on its way to nowhere, stop and place your hand in the hand of Him Who bore savage nails for you. While society paralyzes itself in pointless squabbling over pointless things, take upon yourself a mantle of forgiveness and renewal from the One Who took upon Himself cruel lashings for you. And while the shrouds of hopelessness and despair entwine the people of today, rise up in the new life prepared for you by the One Who laid Himself in the arms of death so that, through His resurrection, you might have the surety that this God Who saves from the penalty of sin, saves from the power of death.

During the seventh-inning stretch, a moment typically reserved for “Take Me Out to the Ball Game,” another song played at parks around the country: “God Bless America.” Everybody sang along, that night and for weeks afterward. In a riveting World Series that year between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Yankees, one of the most enduring memories came during Game 3 in New York, when 56,000 people at Yankee Stadium joined in a melancholy rendition of the tune as a tattered flag recovered at the World Trade Center site fluttered on a pole above the center field scoreboard. At a time when America was still in shock over Al-Qaida’s strike on U.S. soil, baseball was there to help start the healing. “It sent chills down and a lot of tears,” Commissioner Bud Selig remembered. “Almost overpoweringly emotional.” Ten years later, “God Bless America” has become woven into the fabric of the baseball experience. It’s played on Sundays, holidays, special occasions and even every game in the case of two teams, the Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Certainly, when the song is sung, Sept. 11 is prominent in the minds of many New Yorkers. Grief psychologist Barbara Okun says it takes several generations for a tragedy on such a massive scale — the obvious comparison is the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor — to lose its visceral impact and fade into history. And with troops still fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Irving Berlin tune has taken on a broader significance. “I think everyone was grieving then, but things change in their meaning and functionality. I think it’s different,” said Okun, a professor at Northeastern University. “I really look at when we do something patriotic, it’s not just for those victims — it’s for all the victims of tyranny and warfare and terrorism.” In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, major sporting events around the country came to abrupt halt. Selig postponed the full schedule of games for almost a week — the longest stoppage other than for strikes since 1918, when World War I forced the cancellation of the final month of the season. Shea Stadium became a staging area for relief supplies. Mets manager Bobby Valentine helped run the operation, organizing “people coming in off the streets” to lend a hand. Mets and Yankees players visited first responders.

Athletic director Gene Smith confirmed the figure on Wednesday in an email to The Associated Press. The Buckeyes football program has been embroiled in a memorabilia-for-cash scandal that broke late last year and resulted in coach Jim Tressel losing his job after 10 years. Star quarterback Terrelle Pryor also has left the school. Ohio State goes before the NCAA’s committee on infractions this Friday. The NCAA can either accept Ohio State’s selfimposed penalties, which include two years of probation and vacating last year’s 12-win season and share of the Big Ten championship, or it can add to them. Tressel was pressured to step down May 30 in the wake of the scandal. Under his tenure, the Buckeyes won the 2002 national championship and twice lost in the BCS title game. When Ohio State officials initially discovered in January that Tressel knew players had accepted improper benefits — they were trading Buckeyes memorabilia for cash and tattoos at a Columbus tattoo parlor — they suspended him for two games and fined him $250,000. Tressel later agreed to serve a five-game suspension. Yet when Smith announced the coach’s final termination agreement last month, Tressel, who earned more than $3.5 million last year, did not have to pay the fine. Terms of the agreement, which prevent each side from suing the other, also permitted him to receive the final month of his salary — around $54,000 — and to retain his health benefits through June. Smith declined to discuss the details of the investigation and the cost other than to confirm the bottom line, which he said was about $800,000 “at this point.” Ohio State contracted with The Compliance Group, run by a former NCAA enforcement officer, to consult on the investigation and manage the school’s case. It also paid for an IT company to come in and help search through staff emails for information regarding the violations. Asked several weeks ago about the rising cost of the investigation, he said, “I just say, pay the bill. Let’s do what we have to do to get it right.” Also on Wednesday, Please see OSU, B2 MASON, W.Va. — Phil Hill of Syracuse continues to lead the second half of the 2011 Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League with seven weeks left. Hill’s total of 104 points is almost a double-digit lead, as current runner-up Charley Hargraves currently has 94.5 points for the season. Jimmy Joe Hemsley currently sits third with 94 points. A total of 79 players were on hand for Tuesday’s play, making up 19 teams of four and one three-man team. The low score of the day was recorded by the quartet of Mick Winebrenner, Bob Edgar, John Blankenship and Ed Debalski, who fired a 10-under par round of 60. There was a two-way tie for second place as a pair of foursomes posted matching rounds of 9-under par 61. Siebert Belcher, Toad Phalin, Bob Hysell and Jimmy Joe Hemsley made up one runner-up foursome, while Ken Whited, Dick Dugan, Gary Clark and Jack Ocheltree made up the other runner-up quartet.

Opposing players met on the field for handshakes before the start of the games. All the teams, at the request of the commissioner, swapped out “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” for “God Bless America.” The Mets put on a spirit-raising show for 41,000 fans when baseball finally returned to New York on Sept. 21. Mike Piazza, after choking up during pregame ceremonies, hit a homer in the eighth inning to lift the Mets over the Atlanta Braves. “It was probably the most special night I’ve spent at a ballpark, with the Mets,” Mets executive vice president David Howard said. “Piazza’s homer, it was magical.” The singing of “God Bless America” sticks with Valentine. “There was a physical feeling, the chills and leg shaking a little and all those emotional adrenaline rushes,” he said “There was sadness, there was anger, there was patriotism, there was the idea of what can you do and how can you do more of it.” Before the start of the 2002 season, Selig sent a memo to all the ballclubs giving them the discretion in choosing when to play “God Bless America.” “Everybody should do what they think is right,” he said. Most teams scaled back, and Los Angeles Angels outfielder Torii Hunter sees nothing wrong with that. Failing to play the song doesn’t diminish the memory. “I think it’s OK to move forward,” Hunter said. “Most ballparks do not play ‘God Bless America’ every game. But you’ll never forget that day, the people who fell, the people who have fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan since then.” The Mets were one of the teams that cut back on the song, letting fans once again enjoy the sweet nostalgia of “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” with its peanuts and Cracker Jack. www.mydailyregister.com xxxday, xxxx, 2010 Morneau will return on Friday MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — After wearing out Triple-A pitching, and general manager Bill Smith’s cell phone, Justin Morneau has finally received the green light to return to the Minnesota Twins. Manager Ron Gardenhire said Wednesday that Morneau will rejoin the Twins on Friday when they open a three-game series in Cleveland. The star first baseman has not played in a game since June 9, when he went on the disabled list to have surgery to repair a pinched nerve in his neck. “He’s killing the ball,” Gardenhire said. “He’s swinging really good and feels great. He basically said, ‘Get me out of here, please.’” In his first five games with Triple-A Rochester, Morneau hit .409 with four doubles. He was scheduled to play nine innings with the Red Wings on Wednesday night and Thursday before flying to Cleveland to meet up with the Twins. It’s been another trying season for the former AL MVP, who missed the last four months of 2010 with a concussion. He struggled early in 2011 with an injured left wrist and the pinched nerve, which he said basically had him swinging one-handed. He was hitting just .225 with four homers in 55 games before he finally relented and went on the disabled list. Practically from the moment Morneau hit the field with Rochester, he has been clamoring to get back up with the Twins. He has been texting Smith daily to urge him to activate him. “With the surgery and the wrist and everything else, just talking with him, he says he feels real good and he hasn’t said that in a long time,” Gardenhire said. Morneau has been one of several core players to miss a big chunk of time with the Twins this season, and the team has suffered greatly on the field because of it. They entered the game Wednesday night against the Red Sox on a sixgame losing streak and 14 games under .500, fading from contention in the AL Central. So if ever the team needed an emotional lift like this, now is the time. “He’s definitely one of our leaders,” center fielder Denard Span said. “Just to have him back and have his presence in the clubhouse will be huge. If he can play like he’s capable of playing, it will definitely be even a bigger lift for us.” Even if Morneau’s return is too late to save them this season, Gardenhire hopes it will build some positive momentum for him heading into next year. “If we get the guy back that we’ve seen hit, and healthy, I think it will be real entertaining to watch and see what he can do when he’s healthy,” he said. “We’ve seen how he can carry a ballclub. If we can get him back and keep him on the field, it would be really entertaining not only for the rest of this year, but maybe having the guy healthy going into next year.” Reds SS Cozart having surgery, 2B Phillips out Cleveland Indians. “I’ve got to go get it checked out, but I don’t think it is serious,” Boesch said after the Tigers’ 10-3 loss. Boesch said he aggravated the thumb when he failed to make contact on a strikeout in the first inning against Cleveland’s Ubaldo Jimenez. “If I made some contact, I may have stayed in the game,” Boesch said. “I hurt it on my second at-bat the previous night, but thought I could play.” Boesch was replaced in left field by Dan Kelly before the Indians came to bat in the bottom of the second. He was taken for X-rays and said he didn’t know the results other than no fracture was detected. “It hurts when I swing,” he said. “If I can’t swing, what good is it for me to be in there. I have to be able to help the team.” Boesch is 2 for 18 (.111) in his last five games. Overall, the 26year-old Boesch is hitting .285 with 16 homers and 54 RBIs in 107 games. — Indians outfielder Michael Brantley will miss a few games with an injured right wrist. Brantley has been bothered by soreness in his wrist for more than a week. Manager Manny Acta said Brantley, who is batting .270 in 106 games, visited Dr. Thomas Graham, a renowned hand specialist. Acta said the Indians medical staff does not think Brantley will need to go on the disabled list, and the team is hopeful rest will help it improve. The Indians are already thin in the outfield with both ShinSoo Choo (broken thumb) and Grady Sizemore (bruised knee) on the disabled list. Choo took batting practice with the Indians on Wednesday after playing two games in the minor leagues. He has reported no prob- lems and believes he could be activated next week. depart for Rome on Friday. CINCINNATI (AP) — Reds rookie shortstop Zack Cozart will have reconstructive surgery on his non-throwing elbow, ending his chances of returning this season from an usual injury. The 25-year-old rookie hurt his left elbow while making a tag at second base on July 23. He was on a rehabilitation program trying to get back this season, but continued to have pain and decided on the surgery. He’s expected to be recovered by spring training. Second baseman Brandon Phillips was out of the lineup Wednesday with an injured left elbow, which was hit by a pitch in Tuesday night’s 3-2 loss to Colorado. X-rays were negative. Phillips tweeted that he could be sidelined for five days.

However, consecutive runs of 14th, 23rd and 34th find him in danger of falling out of the top 20 in the point standings. Meanwhile, Brad Keselowski has notched his second win, and moved into 18th in the standings. Currently, Denny Hamlin and Keselowski claim the wild card spots. GOTTA LEAD THE LAST ONE For the second straight visit, Denny Hamlin led the most laps at Pocono only to fall short in the waning laps. In June, Hamlin led 76 laps only to be felled by a flat tire. On Sunday, Hamlin again looked to be the class of the field, leading 65 circuits, but had issues on a late-race pit stop and finished a disappointing 15th. SAD LOSS Mary Hendrick, mother of Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick, passed away Monday afternoon at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte at the age of 88. Fondly referred to as “Miss Mary,” Mrs. Hendrick was the listed car owner of the No. 25 HMS Chevy from 2005-07 and the No. 5 Chevy in 2008.

For the second race in a row, Busch overcame issues that hindered his early-race gains to post a top-10 finish. The runner-up at Pocono finds him just 11 points out of the points lead. Entertained us all by engaging in a “I-don’t-really-wanna-fight” shouting match with Kurt Busch following his fourth-place finish at Pocono. Oh, and he did so with a faulty clutch (which was clutch). The June Pocono winner wasn’t nearly as stout on Sunday, but he’ll gladly take the sixth-place run and move on to a road course. Have we mentioned Gordon is NASCAR’s “road course king?” OK, so the contract thing is behind Edwards and he still sits atop the point standings. The only question is whether any damage was done within the team that may bite him down the road. Kurt tried to play off the incident with Johnson as simple “hard racing.” Problem is, it sometimes seems Busch is putting on his media-friendly face and feeding us a line. His 5.5-place average finish over the last month is as impressive a stat as you’ll find in the series, but maintaining that level of performance over the next 17 weeks will be close to impossible. Harvick’s slide is the polar opposite of Newman’s, as he’s averaged a 15.5-place showing in the last four events. History shows he’ll finish stronger, though. Eighth may be a bit low for Kenseth, but that’s probably the way he prefers it with his low-key nature. Could make for a nice Chase darkhorse. I said last week Keselowski probably wouldn’t make the Chase this year but was a shoe-in for 2012. I stand correct: He’s not only a shoe-in for 2012, but for this year as well. Something is amiss with Smoke. Still, would it surprise you if he and the No. 14 team rattled off a win at the Glen this weekend and defended their Atlanta title three weeks later? That’s two Pocono races that have gotten away this year. Sunday’s shouldn’t have happened. Just when we were throwing dirt on his grave, Junior rolls to a top-10 finish. Follows his big Brickyard win with a 10th at Pocono. We’ll see what the Glen holds ... Consecutive top 10s for Biffle and the new crew chief. However, they needs wins. A couple. A win evaporates like the water on the track. As do his Chase hopes. AJ Allmendinger, Clint Bowyer, Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin, David Ragan ASP, Inc. Tracks on Tap “Overcoming Adversity” Brad Keselowski fights through pain, wins at Pocono Raceway By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor A broken ankle, a one hour and 40 minute rain delay and a gamble that laid not only his race, but his season, on the line. Brad Keselowski faced all three in Sunday’s Good Sam RV Insurance 500 at Pocono Raceway and bested each challenge, holding off Kyle Busch in a 16-lap sprint to the finish en route to his second NASCAR Sprint Cup win of the season. The victory also made him — at least for the time being — a favorite to capture one of the two “wild card” spots in NASCAR’s Chase for the Championship. However, the wild card situation will sort itself out over the next five weeks. The story on a soggy Sunday in the Pocono Moutains was Keselowski’s perseverance, as the 27-year old Michigan native gutted out the pain of a broken ankle, in an injury sustained in a practice crash at Road Atlanta just four days prior. “Everything kind of came together here, and we were able to overcome adversity,” Keselowski said. “I think when we look back at this years from now, I think that’s what I’ll think about, overcoming adversity. “This was an ‘earn-it’ weekend. And I’ve always wanted to win a Cup race and earn it, not (due to) fuel mileage, not (at) Talladega — a real win. And today feels like that.” Keselowski’s two-car Penske Racing operation decided to make a critical gamble on the weather at the event’s mid-way point. With rain bearing down on the 2.5-mile speedway and a red flag condition imminent, Keselowski and teammate Kurt Busch pitted prior to the race stoppage. ASP, Inc. Brad Keselowski winces as he exits his car in Victory Lane following his win at the Good Sam RV Insurance 500 at Pocono Raceway. After sitting through the 100minute red flag — all the while wondering whether the track could be dried in time to restart the event — the duo rolled back onto the track as the last two cars on the lead lap. However, when the field pitted for fuel and tires before the race went green again, Keselowski and Busch inherited the front row. It was the track position each sorely needed, and real estate they would not surrender over the final 68 laps. “The biggest thing was getting the track position,” crew chief Paul Wolfe said. “I remember Brad coming on the radio at one point and just asking for some track position. And he thought we’d be OK. “My engineers, they seemed like they were pretty confident that we were going to go back green. So at that point I know it’s going to take calls like that to get us in the Chase.” Keselowski still had one challenge left: Hold off the Cup Series’ restart king, Kyle Busch, when the field went back to green with only 16 laps remaining. He did so flaw- lessly, and hit every mark over the proceeding 15 circuits, pulling away for a .791-second win. Busch was second, followed by Kurt Busch, Jimmie Johnson and Ryan Newman. Kurt Busch and Johnson exchanged on-track blows during the final two laps after a racy exchange for third. They then took the matter to pit road, where a heated discussion ensued. “Man, I worked (Busch) over for 10 or 15 laps and had the opportunity to screw him up and had the opportunity to run into him and never did it,” Johnson said. “Then, off of (Turn) 2 he claims I turned down on him, and I don’t have a clue. He ran over me on the corner exit and that’s where it all started.” Said Busch: “We were racing hard. I think that’s what we saw on TV and exactly that’s what should be reported. There are a lot of times when the No. 22 (Busch) is on the short end of the stick of the No. 48 (Johnson). And I raced him hard. I’m glad I did — I have no regrets in it.” Throttle Up/Throttle Down RYAN NEWMAN Newman has solidified his Chase position (eighth in the standings) with consecutive runs of fourth (Kentucky), first (Loudon), 12th (Indy) and fifth (Pocono) in the last month. BRIAN VICKERS Driving for a team that may not exist next year in Red Bull Racing, Vickers’ season is going south fast. He has only one top-10 finish in the last 10 races and has slumped to 28th in the championship standings. Compiled and written by Matt Taliaferro.

And it turns out, it’s the same one he’s occupied since breaking into the Camping World Truck Series full-time in 2003. Roush Fenway Racing announced last Thursday that it had resigned Carl Edwards to a multi-year deal to drive the No. 99 Ford. “Carl Edwards has achieved a level of success on and off track that would put him at the top of the list for any race team,” team coowner Jack Roush said. “Carl and the No. 99 team are having a terrific season again this year, and we’re thrilled that our relationship will continue for many more.” As summer drew on, and still with no word from Edwards on his future, speculation ran rampant that he may be leaning toward joining Joe Gibbs Racing in the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota. However, a concerted effort by Ford Racing to keep Edwards under its banner may have swayed his decision. While it’s not known what Ford brought to the table, Director of Ford Racing, Jamie Allison, described it as “unprecedented,” making Edwards the face of Ford Racing in American motorsports. Edwards also told reporters at Pocono Raceway that he intends to scale back his Nationwide Series effort beginning next season. “I feel there are weekends when I walk away from the Cup car and get in the Nationwide car (and) feel I’m leaving something on the table,” Edwards said. “The racer in me wants to run the Truck Series, the Nationwide Series and the Cup Series every week, but I think I’ve got to (scale back).” The focus at Roush Fenway Racing now shifts to sponsorship issues. Matt Kenseth’s No. 17 team will lose its primary funding from Crown Royal at season’s end, while David Ragan and his No. 6 team are uncertain of UPS’ return. Greg Biffle and sponsor 3M both re-signed with the organization earlier this season in a deal that will reportedly keep both at RFR through the 2014 season. SPRINT CUP SERIES Race: Heluva Good! Sour Cream Dips at the Glen Track: Watkins Glen International Location: Watkins Glen, N.Y. When: Sunday, Aug. 14 TV: ESPN (1:00 p.m. EST) Layout: 11-turn, 2.45-mile road course 2010 Winner: Juan Pablo Montoya Crew Chief’s Take: “The faster of the two road courses on circuit, Watkins Glen demands braking, balance and control. Infineon is a finesse track, but a driver has to ‘attack’ the Glen. The brakes must sustain the abuse of high-speed to tight-corner transition; balance in that the car needs to behave well in the turns; and control — as in driver control — so as not to over-rev, wheel hop or just plain overdrive. High-end horsepower is much more important at the Glen because the driver is ‘in the gas’ a lot more than Sonoma.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Zippo 200 Track: Watkins Glen International When: Saturday, Aug. 13 TV: ESPN (2:00 p.m. EST) 2010 Winner: Marcos Ambrose CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: VFW 200 Track: Michigan International Speedway Location: Brooklyn, Mich. When: Saturday, Aug. 20 TV: SPEED (12:30 p.m. EST) 2010 Winner: Aric Almirola Classic Moments Watkins Glen International The history books show Geoff Bodine as the winner of the 1996 Bud at the Glen, but most longtime fans remember the weekend for the toughness shown by the great Dale Earnhardt. The Intimidator suffered a broken collarbone, sternum and bruised pelvis in a savage wreck at Talladega two weeks prior. Putting the pain aside, Earnhardt not only sits on the pole at the Glen, but also sets a new track record prior to a sixth-place finish. Bodine’s path to the win is dizzying. Bodine does not pit during a lap 54 caution, instead stopping on lap 62 in an attempt to complete the race in one fewer stops than the field. A caution coincides with the lap 62 stop, essentially giving Bodine a free stop. Restarting 10th and with fresh tires, he blows through the field and makes the race-winning pass of Ken Schrader with seven laps to go. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Tony Stewart’s five career Cup wins at the Glen are the best of any driver — active or retired. Pretty Solid Pick: Marcos Ambrose has done everything but win a Cup race here. It’s coming. Good Sleeper Pick: AJ Allmendinger’s three career runs of 13th, 11th and fourth are encouraging. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Surprisingly enough, Jeff Burton. Insider Tip: Only seven active drivers — Stewart, Jeff Gordon, Mark Martin, Juan Pablo Montoya, Kyle Busch, Robby Gordon and Kevin Harvick — have notched wins at the Glen.
