See Page Bl Conhlsion over Who owes on countv ar BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY - Confusion over who owes on a loan for the vehicle which used to house the former K-9 unit of the Meigs County Sheriff's Office was discussed at yesterday's Meigs County Commissioners meeting. Mark Boyd, former K-9 officer and wife Pam along with Ralph Trussell, former sheriff, addressed Commissioners Mick Davenport, Tom Anderson and Michael Bartrum about the issue. Only Davenport was a sitting commissioner when the car was purchased. The car loan was in Boyd's name. Davenport told Boyd the commissioners never agreed to sign for the car loan, only to sign off on the car's title, making the vehicle a county car. Davenport said if the commissioners had made a deal to sign off on the bank loan with Farmers Bank, they would've. Trussell and Boyd said when the car was purchased, they were under the impression the county would eventually pay off the loan on the county car with funds from a $20,000 medical reimbursement it was anticipating after the capture and medical transport of a prisoner. Davenport disagreed, saying as he recalled the commissioners were told at the time it was purchased, money for the car would come out of the Law Enforcement Trust Fund which Trussell had control over, as well as donations for the K -9 unit. Davenport said at the time the car was purchased, the county was in "dire" financial straits. having to lay-off deputies and said purc~asing a car wouldn't have been feastble.

According to a study by medical researchers in Australia, people who thought that they had been operated on for back pain were just as 1ikely to experience "miraculous cures'' as those who .actually had the surgery. More than 80,000 people in the United States have this procedure done each year. Doctors go into the patient's spinal column and inject medical cement into .fractured spine bone in order to strengthen it. This .treatment supposedly relieves back press.ure that pinches nerves - a painful and often completely debilitating sensation for sufferers of osteoporosis and other bone-loss conditions.' • The study participants \vere told that half of them )vould receive the actual treatment and half would . ot - but they were not old to which group they belonged. Evaluators were J:llso kept in the dark as to which patients had received the treatment and which hadn't as they asked the patients questions about their pain, mobility and other measures of improvement. So the study had no piases to predict the outcome. And the outcome surprised even the researchers conducting the study. : "We had hoped this treatment might get the pain quicker, but we couldn't demonstrate that," said the lead Australian research scientist Dr. Rachelle Buchbinder. So what should we conclude from this study's report? That we shouldn't have the surgery if we are in pain? That doctors are once again ordering expensive and unnecessary treatments st to line their own pocks? Or perhaps we should conclude that the mind remains the single most powerful healing tool known to humanity? , The placebo effect has been known and used for centuries. In fact, it may have been the single most effective prescription for a variety of maladies in 19th century medicine. Doctors would give patients "elixirs" for pain, constipation, diarrhea, and conjestion - knowing that nothing in the "medicine" would actually affect those symp- Pastor Kerry Wood · toms. However, the patient's belief in the efficacy of the medicine caused it to be an effective treatment. The mind's ability to create physiological conditions is truly amazing. We've all heard the phrase, ''perception is reality," and in this case. that certainlv seems to be true. Can it be that pain really is "all in the mind"? No wonder our attitudes make such a difference in how we perceive the world around us. Optimists are more likely to have turns of "good luck" than pessimists. Maybe that's why other studies have shown optimists live longer they simply BELIEVE that they will! So perhaps this is why the Bible places so much emphasis on faith BELIEVING something to be true even when there doesn't seem to be any evidence to prove that it is true. Hebrews 11: 1 defines faith as "the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Faith is not a placebo- it isn't a makebelieve cure - but it does work in a similar fashion. As we believe, we receive the ability to live what we believe. That's why the Apostle Paul talks about "transforming your mind" in Romans 12:2. It's why Jesus says, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." (Luke 11 :9-10) The Placebo Effect; the faith effect - both are real. But you have to believe it to experience it. Doesn't that sound better than back surgery?

Catholic sisters queried about doctrine, fidelity BY ERIC GORSKI AP RELIGION WRITER A Vatican-ordered investigation into Roman Catholic sisters in the U.S., shrouded in mystery when it was announced seven months ago, is shaping up to be a tough examination of whether women's religious communities have strayed too far from church teaching. The review "is intended as a constructive assessment and an expression of genuine concern for the quality of the life" of roughly 59,000 U.S. Catholic sisters, according to a Vatican working paper delivered in the past few days to leaders of 341 religious congregations that describes the scope in new detail. But the nature of some questions in the document seems to validate concerns expressed privately by some sisters that they're about to be dressed down or accused of being unfaithful to the church. The report, for example, asks communities of sisters to lay out "the process for responding to sisters who dissent publicly or privately from the authoritative teaching of the Church." It also confirms suspicions that the Vatican is concerned over a drift to the left on doctrine, seeking answers about ''the soundness of doctrine held and taught" by the women. Still other questions explore whether sisters take part in Mass daily, or whether they follow the church's rules when they take part in liturgies. Church officials expect consistency in how rites and services are celebrated, with approved translations and Masses presided over by a priest. The study, called an apostolic visitation, casts a net beyond fidelity to church teaching, with questions also covering efforts to promote vocations and management of finances. The investigation is focused on members of women's religious communities, or sisters. These are women who do social work, teach, work in hospitals and do other humanitarian work of the church. The investigation is not looking at cloistered communities. or nuns. · ''The sisters being mvestigated have for many years made almost nothing, took very little and gave everything," said the Rev. James Martin, an editor at America, a Jesuit magazine. Francine Card man, associate professor of historical theology and church history at Boston College's School of Theology and Ministry, said it isn't clear why these questions are being asked now in the U.S. But she said the focus on doctrine puts it in the context of establishing a '·correct'' and exclusive interpretation of the Second Vatican Council of the 1960s and of women's religious communities. She said the inquiry should be seen "as part of a much older tradition of misogyny in the church and especially distrust of women who are not directly and submissively under · male, ecclesiastical control." Catholic sisters, Cardman said, have repeatedly over history been "returned to the confines of the cloister'' or restricted in the kinds of ministries they for Applied could perform in public Center Rc'iearch in the Apostolate. view.

Matthew 5:8 Counsel the Doubtful The third spiritual work of mercy is to counsel the doubtful. We are hereby instructed to bolster the faith and confidence ofthose who doubt. This may involve reassuring others that God cares about them and that He has everything under control, or it may involve an even more basic assurance that God exists. On the other hand, if someone is convinced that God does not exist, counseling the doubtful may simply involve telling them that God cares about them nonetheless, and that His love for them is not conditioned upon their belief in Him. Sometimes a person's doubts are of a more personal nature; many of us suffer from low self-esteem'and a lack of confidence in our own abilities. Counseling these people may simply involve tel1ing them to trust themselves. Self-doubt can be crippling, and a reassuring pat on the back and some words ofencouragement from a trusted friend or family member may often be a)] that is needed to melt away any lingering doubts. As always, we should counsel others with tact and discretion, remembering that our advice, especially if unsolicited, may not always be weJcomed. Therefore, we should carefully reflect on how we might counsel the doubtful, in order to best restore their faith and confidence. ~ ()~ ~'R~~ Short & Long Term & Respite Care • Rehab Services AYailablc 11 "11.0\ (·rhrookiThahilitatiunccntrl·.com 333 Page Street Middleport OH (740) 992·6472 Hour' H·a rm f.nend/t• 6 am - ~ pm t11mo.1phl'rc 209 Third St. :Jili[[ie's !l(estaurant Homemade Desserts Made Daily 1/ome Cooked .\lra/1 & Daily Speciah Open 7 days a week We'wGot lt!

Lasseigne has been helping his parishioners fight foreclosure. ple," said Juana Rodriguez, a single mother offour who almost lost her home. "He's always out there in front of us. leading us. I don't get fri<rhtened anymore." At the urging of a broker acquaintance, Rodriguez borrowed the downpayment and principal with adjustable interest for a $272,000 threebedroom townhouse. Her initial excitement turned to dread when the interest shot up to 10.56 percent and the monthly payment rose from $1 ,300 to $1 ,990. Then she lost her job. With help from the church workshops, she renegotiated her mortgage to a 30year loan fixed at 5 percent - and landed a new job as a home health-care aide. Now she advises other homeowners. For every rescued homeowner, however, numerous others were spiraling into distress. The pain of seeing families lose everything they had worked for spurred Lasseigne to find a solution. Teaming up with One LAIndustrial Areas Foundation and Neighborhood Legal Services of Los Angeles County, Lasseigne has lobbied congressmen, councilmen and corporate executives for laws, funds and loan reductions. He makes sure he wears his clerical collar to meetings. "I don't mean to strike divine guilt in their hearts, but it adds moral weight to the campaign," he said. "I would like to think that they see standing behind me the thousands of homeowners at risk." Still, it's an uphill battle to get banks to reduce homeowner's loans, Lasseigne's main goal. Under a plan developed by One LA, homeowners would receive a loan of $25,000 to $75,000 to be paid to the bank, which would reduce the loan principal in line with the home's current worth, and slash interest to about 5 percent. It's designed to help people like stone worker Angel de Ia Torre, who owes far more on his three-bedroom house than it's worth and is stuck paying 10 percent interest. "[f I understood, I would never have signed," said the father of four. "My dream turned into a nightmare.'' He and One LA organizer Tom Holler were successful in lobbying City Hall to ante up $1 million in community redevelopment funds, but banks have been reluctant to reduce the principal. Lasseigne remains faithful that banks will cede. He and Holler have also lobbied U.S. Rep. Baniey Frank, D-Mass., for legislation outlawing predatory lending, and are starting to work in another ravaged area, South Los Angeles. Homeowners are grateful that even if they can't get immediate relief, someone is looking out for them. Jose Hernandez is working with Lasseigne to get his parents out of a financial quagmire. Their purchase of a $488,000 townhouse has resulted in negative amortization - the loan balance is increasing because the monthly interest exceeds the principal payment. Now, with the priest's help. Hernandez is trying to get the loan modified. "He's willing to help and a lot of people aren't." Hernandez said.

He had debating joining the priesthood through college and law school. He had heard only vaguely about the foreclosure crisis when a parish family asked him to pray for them because they were losing their home. Soon, the story was repeating itself: The dream of homeownership had Jed his flock, mostly Mexican and Central American immigrants with little money savvy and limited English skills, into murky subprime loans and overpriced real estate. ''These are hard working people from humble backgrounds. They weren't used to dealing with officials. There was a language problem," said Lasseigne, one of three priests at the 5,000family church. "They had a very poor understanding of what they were getting into." Hundreds of homeowners signed up for help after Lasseigne announced from the pulpit that he had united with nonprofit groups and three other area churches to hold financial workshops. One session packed 1,500 people into the San Fernando High School auditorium. Lasseigne began working with some 100 families, forming a database with details of their cases, attending homeowners' meetings and offering counsel. He listened to their dilemmas and sought to allay their fears when they thought they had lost everything. "I never heard of a priest doing so much to help peo- Friday, August 7, My priest, my friend Savirig flock from foreclosure LOS ANGELES - A priest's typical mission is saving souls, but tht Rev. John Lasseigne has a more down-to-earth goal - saving homes. That's like trying to work a miracle in Lasseigne's Roman Catholic parish of Pacoima, a blue-collar corner of the San Fernando Valley where bank sale signs sprout faster than weeds. One in nine homes is in default. makmg it one of the nation's hardest hit towns in the foreclosure crisis. "We· re talking thousands of foreclosures," said the 44-year-old priest at Mary Immaculate Church. "I was stunned.'' Lasseigne has gone from praying for parishioners to lobbying politicians and negotiating with lenders on their behalf. His daily discourse is as likely to include talk of balloon payments and negative amortization as Hail Marys and The Lord's Prayer. Meetings with banks rather than bishops fill his agenda. Churches of many faiths have responded to the recession by offering credit counseling and job training alongside Sunday school and soup kitchens, and people of the cloth have a long tradition of social activism on many issues. Still, delving into the fine · print of mortgage finance may seem highly unusual for someone who will probably never have to worry about buying his own house. Lasseigne, however, is well qualified. Before entering the seminary, he graduated from law school and knew how to read contracts. That knowledge, a passion for social justice and a priest's role - in a parish so devout that two Masses are said daily and nine on Sunday, all but one in Spanish - have made him the foreclosure-fighting father. "Works of justice are an integral pmt of the priesthood,'' the lanky priest said. "We have to take stands in aiding the needy and denouncing the injustices of society. The financial entrapment that was part of this was unbelievable." Lasseigne arrived a year ago in Pacoima, a gritty Los Angeles community where 90 percent of the 60,000 residents are Latino. Several families squeeze into shoebox bungalows, gangs roam the streets, and roosters crow in backyards. Lasseigne learned PageA4 Each month. Pathway Community Church invites the community to watch a great family movie and enjoy light refreshments. In this month's movie, the four Pevensie children are once again transported to the magical land of Narnia. But what a difference. Just overnight in England, Narnia has experienced 1300 years, and the land now suffers under the rule of the tyrannical King Miraz. T The wonderful talking animals seem to have disappeared. Young Prince Caspian, nephew of Miraz and yet the true king of Narnia. is the target of assassins sent by his uncle. Caspian meets the legendary talking creatures of Narnia and joins efforts with Peter and his siblings to seek Asian and rescue Narnia. Because of "scary battle scenes," younger children may watch an alternate movie. [" m not one of those people who have friends everywhere. You know people who are always saying, "Oh, that'~ my friend:' or "I was with a few of my friends and we were talking about this and that." Insinuati ng that they have many friends, which is fine. I. myself, prefer just a few close _friends that a!-e reaL b~t I ~ave many acquaintance~, With whom I.enJ<?Y spendmg ti~e. I've come to realize that my pnest IS more than JUst an acquaintance, but truly my frien~. J can tell him things I'd never reveal to an acquamtance, because with an acquaintance the trust just hasn't been established. Not only is he completely trustworthy, but has a sense of hulnor I look for in friends. Without a sense of humor, life would be so harsh, because it really has harsh moments. and while they are brief, nonetheless they are here and real. Being able to live life with a sense of.humor makes them, the bumpy parts of life, far more bearable. My friend, my priest. does that for me. He makes I?e realize that I am only a small part of a very large picture, and to make things so personal is really distorting the complete picture. God does love each of us, but also I must remember there are millions Qf "us'es'' that He also loves, and a bump in the road is only His way of making a smooth area for someone else He loves that could not see the humor of a situation. and He knows J will. If you can take the "I'' importance out of the equation, then life will go much smoother.

Remembering the old mill streams BY ANYCE (FRY) M ILAM Raccoon and Symmes creeks both played quite a role in my childhood. Each one was about a mile from our farm but in opposite directions. During floods, before the roadbeds were raised, we were cut off in both directions. When the water was up. we couldn't get to Gallipolis because of the Raccoon Creek and couldn't get to school because of Symmes Creek. In big floods, the Raccoon backed up to almost within sight of our farm. There was some bottom land before getting to the bridge over the Raccoon. It would be up to the cross arms of the AT&T trunk lines there. It took a. large fill to raise the roadbed there . The Symmes backed up in a couple places before getting to Cadmus School. Ohio Natural Resources tell me that Ohio has three Raccoon creeks. The one in Gallia County is the largest one, having headwaters near New Plymouth in northern Vinton County. I have been told that it is over 100 miles in length. Our Salem Baptist Church had their baptizings in Raccoon Creek near the Route 141 bridge and just off C<~ra Road. I can. remember how the Minister would take a pole, as he waded around to find sufficient depth of the water. He then sank the pole in to the spot that he selected to guide his steps with participant for baptizing. We always sang the old Hymn, "Shall We Gather at the River," before and as they baptized. It was such a serene setting - I can still see it in my mind. The Rev. Cremeans was the Pastor most of the time that I remem· ber the baptizings. Farther up Cora Road from the bridge was a nice little park at one time. It was beside the Cora Mill and a nice place to enjoy the waterfalls and wade in the cool water. The large rocks were part of the Mill Run and were slick to walk on. I faintly remember grain being taken to that Mill to be ground but it closed and then we took is to the Cadmus Mill on Symmes Creek. There was a covered bridge by the Raccoon Mill and also one on Route 141 at Cora Road. We went through one on the way to Cadmus School for many years as they did not tear it down as .early as the others. There was a covered bridge at Symmes Creek near the Steger farm where we used to go in swimming. Once, I dived in too sharply and hit my head on the bottom. the first thing that I thought of was that my Mother had warned me not to go swimming that day. It was such a shame that all the covered bridges \Vere destroyed. Gallia County had so many of them. Raccoon Creek played another part in my life as a teenager. I had gotten a new bicycle and had wandered farther from home than usuaL one evening. I was with my neighbor friends, Doris and Delbert Erit, who were on their bicycle. We went down to the Raccoon bridge over Route 141 . There I met my future husband, as he and his brothers were loafing on the bridge. They v.ere the new Milam family, recently moved from West Virginia. Later, after his World War II service of over 33 months in Alaska, Mathew Milford Milam and I were married in the First Baptist Church in 1945. Ohio streams continued to be a part of my life as my husband ran a Dragline Shovel for over 40 years in the Scioto River on the outskirts of Columbus. The bucket of the Shovel still sits on a mound of dirt in the south end of Columbus on Haul Road.

The Daily Sentinel • P age As www.mydailysentinel .com Congress OKs $28 Mary Cleek - Bv D AVID of 'cash lor clunkers' E SPO AP SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT WASHINGTON - Pedal to the metal, Congress sent President Barack Obama legislation Thursday night with an additional $2 billion for "cash for clunkers," the economy-boosting rebate program that caught the fancy of car buyers and instantly increased sales for an auto industry long mired in recession. The St:natt: approved the money on a 60-37 vote after administration officials said an initial $1 billion had run out in only 10 days. The House voted last week to keep alive the program, which gives consumers up to $4,500 in federal subsidies if they trade in their cars for new, more energyefficient models. Without action. lawmakers risked a wave of voter discontent as they left the Capitol for a monthlong vacation. "Cash for clunkers has been a proven success," Obama said in a written statement issued shortly after the vote. "The initial transactions are generating a more than 50 percent increase in fuel economy; they are generating $700 to $1000 in annual savings for consumers in reduced gas costs alone, and they are getting the oldest, dirtiest and most air polluting trucks and SUVs off the road for good." Senate supporters of the program hailed its effect on the auto industry - which had its best month in nearly a year in July - as well as its claimed environmental benefits. "The reality is this is a program that has been working. Consumers believe it's working. Small business people believe it's working. People who make steel and aluminum and advertisers ... and everyone who's involved in the larger economic impact of the auto AP photO A crane lifts a flattened car from a stack of similar vehicles to a shredder at Gershow Recycling Corp. in Medford, N.Y., Thursday. Many of the scrapped vehicles are part of the "cash for clunkers" program. The Senate is poised to pump $2 billion more into the popular "cash-for-clunkers" program after agreeing to give shoppers until Labor Day to make a deal on more energy-efficient models . industry believe it is working," said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich. The legislation had its share of critics, though, most of them Republicans . "What we're doing is creating debt .... The bill to pay for those cars is going to come due on our children and grandchildren,'' said Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H. Officials said the program's initial $1 billion probably already has been spent, but a paperwork backlog prevented an accurate accounting. The additional $2 billion is enough to help consumers purchase a half-million more new cars, they added. There was no suspense about the outcome in the Senate, where supporters of the legislation focused their energies on defeating all attempts at amending the measure. Passage of any changes would effectively scuttle "cash for clunkers," they said, since the House has already begun a summer vacation and is not in session to vote on revisions. An attempt by Sen. Tom Harkin. D-Iowa, to limit the program to lower and middle-income consumers was jettisoned on a vote of 6532. Gregg's call for Congress to offset the $2 billion with spending cuts elsewhere also failed, 51-46 . On the final vote, 51 Democrats, two independents and seven Republicans supported the bill, while 33 Republicans and four Democrats opposed it. The Senate's debate capped an unusually swift response by lawmakers, who were informed scarcely a week ago that the program was quickly running short of money. The government said Wednesday that more than $775 million of the original funds had been spent, accounting for the sale of nearly 185,000 new vehi- cles. Administration officials estimate the extra funding will last into Labor Day. Under the program, passenger car owners are eligible for a voucher worth · $3,500 if they trade in a vehicle getting 18 miles per gallon or less for a new car getting at least 22 mpg. Vouchers of $4,500 are available for owners who trade in a passenger car getting 18 mpg or less for a model that gets at least 28 mpg. There are similar guidelines for SUVs and pickup trucks. Dealers are barred from reselling the trade-ins and are charged with ensuring their destruction. Jeremy Anwyl, CEO of the auto Web site Edmunds.com, said the unintended result is that vehicle prices are climbing. "What we've created now is a shortage for key models," he said.

Campaign from Page At U.S. senator's ability to outraise and out-campaign Democratic Attorney General Richard Cordray is untested. DeWine, a Republican, announced his candidacy after the end of the fundraising period that just ended, leaving him with just $39,500 in the bank compared to Cordray's $2 million. Both DeWine and Kasich are viewed as heavy hitters representing the GOP's best chance of knocking the powerful Democrats out of power. Friday's reports left viewers to '·tune in tomorrow" for the proof. Tom Wiseman, who teaches political science at State Bowling Green University, said 2010 is shaping up a challenging year for incumbents. He said Strickland's fundraising may reflect admiration or support among the governor's backers for the budget decisions that angered others. such as his decision not to support a tax increase to fund social programs and his reversal on gambling in the form of racetrack slots. But his early fundraising prowess also could wane in the coming months. "Certainly numbers matter and dollar signs matter, and it's never too early to amass your funding and coordinate your organization,'' he said. "But the bottom line is simply that the public is kind of scratching their head out there. they're looking for some answers." Wiseman believes the fact that a Republican is leading the money race for secretary of state. where Democrat Jennifer Brunner is stepping aside to nm for U.S. Senate. may signal the desire for the public to see change. The pattern also held, at least in these very early donation totals, for Mandel outraising Boyce and Pepper out- raising Taylor. ''It's a tough time to be an elected official, and a tough time to be in state government in general," he said. ''Doing the day-to-day business of the people in these hard economic times. these incumbents have to make tough decisions." But it's early. Wiseman emphasizes.

OU student pleads not guilty in fatal dorm fall ATHENS (AP) - An Ohio University student has pleaded not guilty to charges in another student's death from a four-story fall. Nineteen-year-old James Wagers, of the Mansfield area in north-central Ohio, was in court Wednesday in Athens and entered not guilty pleas to one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of aggravated drug trafficking. Prosecutors say Wagers gave hallucinogenic mushrooms to 20-year-old Eric Hansen in April before the engineering student from suburban Cleveland fell from a fourth-floor dorm window at OU. A coroner said traces of mushrooms were found in Hansen's blood. A jury trial has been scheduled for Nov. 12. Ohio fanners fmd new customers at restaurants TOLEDO (AP) - A growing number of restaurants and grocery stores are turning to local farmers for their lettuce, green beans and jalapeno peppers. Restaurant owners say buying local saves them money and gives them fresher food. The Northwest Ohio Fresh Network is matching farmers and restaurants to put more locally grown products into restaurants and food stores. The group has grown from about 60 farms and restaurants three years ago to 120 participants this year. Maney's Restaurant Group, which owns four Toledo-area restaurants. buys heirloom tomatoes and green beans. "If you go with big-box companies, you don't really know where it came from and how many different parties it moved through before it got to you,'' said Nick Maney, who runs Shorty's Bar-B-Que in Toledo. He buys all of his green beans from GreenLine Foods in Bowling Green and Grodi Fanns across the state line in Erie, Mich. The restaurant buys pork from another local producer, Tank's Meats. in Elmore. "Stuff like that you need to be fresh. It's nice to have good quality purveyors nearby," Maney said. Chain restaurants are buying fresh too. Kirk Holthouse. co-owner of Holthouse Farms in Willard, has a contract to supply Chipotle Grill with jalapeno peppers, bell p~ppers, and romaine lettu?e for the company's restaurants m Toledo, Cleveland. Ptttsburgh, Columbus, and parts of Indiana and Michigan. ~ Pastor Thorn Mollohan him who believes.' Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, 'I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!' ... 'You deaf and mute spirit,' He said, 'I command you, come out of him and never enter him again.' The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, 'He's dead.' But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up" (Mark 9:14-27 NIV). I have heard that faith and despair are the opposites of one another. But I am inclined to believe that hope is the real opposite of despair. Despair pulls us down and threatens to mire us in a pit of hopelessness, but hope is the fuel that helps us to run another mile, try yet again, and wake up each day with the confidence that night will at any moment yield to dawn's light. But consider the shroud of fear that must have enveloped that father's heart as day followed day with his son's condition only sinking into greater pain and deeper sorrow. Consider how his hope surely dwindled and faded just a bit more as promise after promise of a cure proved vain and empty. Despair had become that man's closest companion as the glimmers of hope were snuffed out. Medicine had failed. Good works had failed. Even religion had failed. His son was still held hostage to powers of darkness, unable to function and never permitted the blessing of wonder in his eyes, the miracle of giving and receiving love in his heart, nor even a moment of peace for his agonized mind. The one great desire of this father's heart was to simply see the day when his child would be in his own, right mind, finally capable of joy in a life that had only known torture, but he had run out of options. Then the man reached out to Jesus. "But if you can do ' anything, take pity on us and help us," he says in verse 22. He had no hope and he wasn't sure that he had any faith left. But that's the difference between hope and faith. Hope is an expectation for something better that inextricably produces an emotion a lot like joy. But when our expectations fail to materialize and when our dreams do not come to pass. the icy fingers of despair seize us. When hope fails us, faith becomes vital. Faith is often confused with hope (and they are cousins, after all). But faith is not so much an expectation as it is a conviction that what we believe in is worth believing in. even if all the evidence of our experience runs counter to it. Hope is what we're reaching for. but faith is the decision to reach for it when all is dark. In other words. faith is a choice. The hurting and sorrowful father who met Jesus reached out to Him. Why? Because he had no where else to tum. Hope had come to nothing so he said to Jesus, "If you can ...." Somewhere inside him was a tiny kernel of belief that spurred him into this encounter with Jesus. If he had not risked believing that Jesus MIGHT be able to change his world, he would not have dared to ask. When folks read this passage in Mark 9, they usually sense a rebuke in Jesus' words to this man. "If You can?" Perhaps it was. But even if it was. it was far more gentle than we're inclined to perceive in our initial reading of it. Jesus saw in this man's heart something that the man did not even know he possessed: the capacity to believe. In him was the ability to choose to trust Jesus. no matter how often he had been disappointed in the past. The expectation that Jesus could free his son may have just about not existed, but the man could choose to trust that God through Jesus Christ could set his son free. "I do believe; help me in my unbelief!" he cried out to Jesus. He knew he could choose to trust Him, but wrestled mightily with the temptation that despair set in his path to choose NOT to trust Him. How nice it would have been right then for him to have some small smattering of hope to help him. But there wasn't any. In the end, he simply had 2009. to choose to trust Jesus.

Point Pleasant 5th, Wahama 6th at Ravenswood Golf Invitational STAFF REPORT MDSSPORTS@ MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RAVENSWOOD - The 2009 high school golf season opened Wednesday for both the Point Pleasant and Wahama High School varsity golf teams with both teams participating in the Ravenswood High School Invitational golf tournament. Eighteen high school teams played in the 18 hole event held at the damp and somewhat soggy Green Hills Golf Course. The field was divided into 2 classes with 7 teams in the AAA class and eleven teams in the AA/A class. Both local schools were in the latter classification. Point finished a solid 5th in their class followed by Wahama in 6th place. Point's score was a fine 340 in the play 5, count 4 format. Sophomore Opie Lucas led the Big Blacks with a score of 80. Erik Albright, a freshman playing in his initial varsity competition, turned in a score of 81. Justin Cavender's 89 along with Alex Potter's 90 completed the team score. Kylenna Criste also played for Point, but his score did not count in the final tally. Wahama's scoring was led by senior co-captains Dave Greene and Brandon Johnson. After a rocky start, Greene played well the last 12 holes and turned in an acceptable 81 for the day. Johnson played better than his score of 89 indicates and should improve his scoring as the season develops. The surprise for the White Falcons was freshman Dakota Sisk who contributed a 92 for the day. Putting woes kept Sisk's score from being much better and that area of his game will improve as he gains experience. Matt Arnold struggled at times throughout the round, but kept fighting back to post a score of 95 for the final score in the teams total of 357. Zach Whitlatch shot a good 43 on the front 9 holes, but lost a bit of his touch on the back- side and his final score did not qualify for the team total. Both teams will be back in action this corning Friday when they play each other in a 10 a.m. match at the Riverside Golf Course in Mason. Ritchie County won the AA/ A class with an outstanding score of 304 led by the 69 shot by Matt Metz. Williamstown finished second with a total of 320 followed by Charleston Catholic's 330. Fourth was Gilmer County with a total of 333. Other schools playing in this classification were Braxton County, Wirt County, Ravenswood. Roane County and Parkersburg Catholic. Parkersburg South's "A" team won the AAA classification followed by Parkersburg's "A" team. Both Parkersburg schools also had a "B" team in the contest. Also pa1ticipating were teams from Bridgeport, Cabell Midland and Ripley. Fisher wins 3rd W.Va. Amateur Eastern volleyball camp WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va.

Even though, as a Leo, you have a strong personality and senc;e of self. yo;.~ will learn to understand the power of having other people and opinions involved. If you are single, you will meet someone who might have a profound impact on you. This relationship will open up doors. If you a:e attached, you will learn to defer, or at least listen rrore often to the other side presented by your significant other. 1'\o matter what your status, you learn to respect others and want their involvement more and more in your life. PISCES can make you uncomfortable, as they seem to just know you.

The Joe Gibbs Racing driver went from losing his biggest fan, his 91-year-old grandmother, Thelma Clark, last week to a win- his first of 2009. Hamlin overtook Clint Bowyer with 10 laps left and then fought off a hard-charging Juan Montoya for his third win at the Pennsylva- MARTIN TRUEX JR. nia track. The win - his first in 50 races - came on a sunny day unlike the day before. The Cup race at Pocono was rescheduled to Monday after an early-morning rain. The Chesterfield. Va. native had struggled much of the season with car or pit issues and rebounded nicely from a 34th-place finish last week at Indiana pols. On Monday, Hamlin started off a great race in sixth place. leading six times for 911aps while staying at the front of the pacl<. By Lap 191, Hamlin sidestepped leader Clint Bowyer and Montoya followed a lap lat· er in hot pursuit. But the 2006 rookie of the year kept the lead.

He wants to make the best of his remain· ing time at Earnhardt Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates even as he prepares for a new ride in 2010. Truex, who won a race in Dover, Del., on June 4, 2007, is 29 years old. He made the Chase for the Sprint Cup that year. He slumped to 15th in the 2008 standings and is out of contention this year. Next year he will move to Michael Waltrip Racing, which he sees as a fres h start after four full-time seasons at the team known as Dale Earnhardt Inc. prior to this year. "I don't want it easy," said Truex. "I want to 'do good.' I want toget to the next level. I am not here for it to be easy. That had no bearing at all on my decision." The Mayetta, N.J., native's father, Martin Truex Sr., was a driver of note himself, having competed for many years in what is now the NASCAR Grand National Series, East Division. Truex Jr. won the championships of what is now the Nationwide Series in 2004-05. By making the move to MWR, Truex will be moving from Chevrolet to Toyota. David Reutimann drove one of the team's Camrys to victory in the Coca-Cola 600 at Lowe's Motor Speedway on May 25. "They seem like a great organiza· tion," said Truex of M~ . "They have come a long way. I thmk they have a lot going for them." The move was announced on July 7. Truex will drive car No. 56, and though he is effectively replacing owner Waltrip behind the wheel, Waltrip will retain his No. 55 for selected races in 2010. "It's about the overall, the big picture," said Truex. "It's about all the things that we have to do as drivers and where I want to be as a driver. That's what went into the decision." John Clark I NASCAR This Week Hendrick driver Jeff Gordon Is a: four-time Cup champion. ' Jeff Gordon a legend in the modem century . By any standards other than his own, Jeff Gordon has prospered since the turn of the century. Gordon • has won 33 times since 2000 began. But Gordon won three championships and 49 races during the 1990s. His most recent champr onship was in 2001. Gordon's teammate, Jimmie Johnson, didn't even join what is now the Spnnt Cup Se- • nes until 2002. but Johnson has won• 43 races and three (2()()6.{)8) cham- • pionships. LMS has $19.60 plan in honor of Banking Week John Clark/ NASCAR This Week Martin Truex Jr:s future plans Include a new team (Michael Walb'fp Racing) and a new car (Toyota). The driver will drive the No. 56 car next season, replacing the team's owner, Waltrip. This is Truex's fourth full season at what is now EGR. He said leaving the team - now owned by Teresa Earnhardt, Chip Ganassi and Sabates wasn't a move he took lightly. "It was more about what was best in the long run and the pros and cons of each situation, not so much just what my gut feeling was," said Truex. "I just kind of took more of a methodical approach to it, and I think it's working out really well." In honor of Lowe's Motor Speedway's 50 years of racing, fans can now reserve any ticket for the NASCAR Banking 500 Week, NHRA Nationals and the World of Outlaws World Finals for only $19.60 by calling the speed· • way's ticket office at 1·800-455· FANS. The significance in $19.60 is from the speedway's ma1den year, 1960. "The payment plans at · Lowe's Motor Speedway are very • popular w th our fans." said Mar· ' cus Smith. pres,dent and general • manager.
