My heart is broken. We contracted with a tree removal company to take out a large weeping willow. The workers arrived before 9 a.m .. but they were frightened of our dog. "Rocko," so I moved him to another part of our yard, along with his water and food dish. Two hours later. I left for work. The weather became surprisingly hot and humid, and when my husband arrived home. our beloved Rocko was dead. He was 14 years old, and maybe it was coming, but what if it was the heat and the lack of his favorite shade tree? It never occurred to me that it would get so hot. My eyes are swollen from the tears. How could I have ever let my "good boy" suffer like that? I will never get over feeling so sad for my husband and kids. Rocko was a wonderful dog. I just wish I could know that he died from old age and not my stupidity. Can a dog die from the heat in less than four hours especially one with a lot of fur? - Brokenhearted in Michigan Dear Michigan: Unfortunately, dogs with a lot of fur can easily overheat. We spoke to Dr. Bernadine Cruz, a nationally recognized veterinarian. She is sure you thought you did the best you could to put your beloved pet in the safest place possible with food and water. Unless you had a post mortem, there's always a chance there could have been other issues involved in Rocko 's death besides heat and insufficient shade, including age, obesity or an underlying illness. As sad as it is, please know your letter may save another pet's life by reminding pet owners to take all precautions possible and discuss any questions with their vets. For further information, readers can go to avma .org/care4pets. Dear Annie: Thousands of homeowners are facing foreclosure of their family home for one tragic reason or another. They can receive help through state and nonprofit agencies at no cost. Unfortunately. homeowners often seek help from scam artists who prey upon those in need. These scammers set up their ads and websites to look legitimate. Please tell your readers to seek help through the aforementioned agencies. - Certified Foreclosure Interventionist, Maine Dear CFI: We appreciate the opportunity to keep our readers informed. Anyone who is facing foreclosure can contact the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (hud.gov) at 451 7th St., SW.

Harsh, but not based on facts. President Barack Obama 's lack of a detailed plan for overhauling health care is letting critics fill in the blanks in the public's mind. In reality, Washington is not working on "death panels" or nationalization of health care. To be sure, presenting Congress and the country with the nuts and bolts of a revamped system of health insurance is no guarantee of success for a president just ask Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton. Their famous flop was demonized, too. After all, the devil does lurk in details. It can also lurk in generalities, it seems. Obama is promoting his changes in something of a vacuum, laying out principles, goals and broad avenues, some of which he's open to amending. As lawmakers sweat the nitty gritty, he's doing a lot of listening, and he's getting an earful. A new NBC News poll suggests some of the myths and partial truths about the plans under consideration are taking hold. Most respondents said the effo11 is likely to lead to a "government takeover of the health care system" and to public insurance for illegal immigrants. Half said it will probably result in tax- Today is Friday, Aug. 21. the 233rd day of 2009. There are 132 days left in the year.

A look at each of those points: THE POLL: 45 percent said it's likely the government will decide when to stop care for the elderly: 50 percent said it's not likely. THE FACTS: Nothing being debated in Washington would give the government such authority. Critics have twisted a provision in a House bill that would direct Medicare to pay for counseling sessions about end-of-life care. Jiving wills, hospices and the like if a patient wants such consultations with a doctor. They have said, incorrectly, that the elderly would be required to have these sessions House Republican Leader John Boehner of Ohio said such counseling "may stm1 us down a treacherous path toward government-encouraged euthanasia ... The bill would prohibit coverage of counseling that presents suicide or assisted suicide as an option. Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson of Georgia. who has been a proponent of coverage for end-of-life counseling under Medica1e, said su<.:h sessions are a voluntary benefit, strictly between doctor and patient, and it was "nuts" to think death panels are looming or euthanasia is part of the equation. But as fellow conservatives stepped up criticism of the provision, he backed away from his defense of it. ••• THE POLL: 55 percent expect the overhaul will give coverage to 1llegal immigrants; 34 percent don't. THE r/\CTS: The pro· posal~ being negotiated do not provide coverage for illegal immigrants. ••• THE POLL: 54 percent said t11e overhaul will lead to a govemmcnt takeover of health care: 39 percent disagree. THE FACTS: Obama 1s not proposing a singlepayer system in which the government covers everyone. like in Canada or some European countries. He says that direction is not right for the U.S. The proposal~ being negotiated do not go there. At issue is a proposed "exchange'' or "marketplace·· in which a new government plan would be one option for people who aren't covered at \Vork or whose job coverage is too expensive. The exchange would offer some private plans as well as the public one, all of them required to offer certain basic benefits. That's a long way from a government takeover. But when Obama tells people they can just continue with the plans they have now if they arc happy with them. that can't be taken at face value. either. Tax provisions could end up making it dteaper fur soillt: employer:-. to pay a fee to end their health coverage. nudging some patients into a public plan with different doctors and benefits. Over time. critics fear, the public plan could squeeze private insurers out of business because they \vould not be able to compete with the federal government. It's unclear now \Vhether Obama is committed to the public option. He described it recently as "just one sliver" of health reform. suggesting it was expendable if lawmakers could agree on another way to expand a e coverage. Now the House is emphasizing strong support for it. ••• THE POLL: 50 percent expect taxpayer dollars will be used to pay for abortions; 37 percent don't. THE FACTS: The House version of legislation would allow coverage for abortion in the public plan. But the procedure would be paid for with dollars from beneficiary premiums. not from federal funds. Likewise, private plans in the new insurance exchange could opt to cover abortion. but no federal subsidies would be used to pay for the procedure. Opponents say the prohibition on federal money for the procedure is merely a bookkeeping trick and what matters is that Washington would allow abortion to be covered under govemmentsubsidiled insurance. • Obama has stated tha U.S. should continue its tradition of "not financing abortions as part of government-funded health care." Current laws prohibiting public financing uf abortion would stay on the books. Yet abortion guidelines are not yet clear for the government-supervised insurance exchange. There is strong sentiment in Congress on both sides of the issue. ••• The poll of 805 people was taken Aug. 15-17 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points. Analysis: Health care endgame near but uncertain The Daily Sentinel I .. . . . produce the most robust. far-reaching changes to the health care system. Liberals say that if Republicans won't play ball, there's no point in compromising the agenda Obama campaigned for, including a public insurance option and coverage for nearly all Americans. But this approach has many hurdles, and insiders consider it a long shot. Senate filibuster rules would force Democrats to persuade each of their 58 members and two independent supporters to vote down the 40 Republicans on issue after issue. Some moderate Democrats would balk on issues they oppose. And two Liberal Democrats - Robert Byrd of West Edward Virginia and Kennedy of Massachusetts - are seriously ill and often absent. Even if the Senate passed a bill with Democratic votes only, conservative House Democrats might band with Republicans to reject it as too expen::.ive. A Democrats-only approach would fuel Republican accusations of heavy-handed oveneaching by Obama and his allies. But it would energize the president's liberal base. • A handful of Republicans. Even if the negotiations involving Grass ley collapse, it's possible that a tiny number of GOP senators will join nearly all the Democrats in passing a bill that includes most of Obama's priorities. Maine's Republican senators. Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins. are mentioned most often. But they would face enormous pressure not to break ranks and provide the crucial 60th vote to overcome an otherwise solid GOP opposition. And if they did, the resulting bill still would be seen as a Democratic creation, undermining its acceptance by ;11any American::.. Handicappers giw this scenario a less than 50-50 chance. • Strong-arm tactics. lf they're willing to play true hardball, Senate Democrats still could pass a health care bill without amassing 60 votes on some contentious points. The "reconciliation" process lets the I 00-member Senate pass budgetrelated items. under tight restrictions. with a simple majority of votes. But items that arguably are unrelated to the budget could be challenged and possibly subjected to the 60-vote threshold. Democrats could submit one big bill and fight to keep <.s many provisions as possible from falling victim to a 60-vote requirement. Or they could split the package in two: One bill. dealing with spending questions. could pass under reconciliation rules with as fev.· as 50 votes. The othet bill would require 60 votes, and it would be subject to mischievous amendments. But it might include widely popular provisions such as protecting insurance buyers who have pre-existing conditions. Senate experts differ on ho~· many of Obama's priorities. such as a public insurance option. would fail under the reconciliation process. But everyone agrees the strategy would :-.everely worsen the already testy relationships bet\veen Republican and Democratic senators. Because it is complex. unpredictable and divisive. reconliliation is unpopular \Vith many Democrats. not to mention Republicans. But Capitol insiders say Democratic leaders will usc it before accepting fullblown defeat. and some -;ee it as the likeliest outcome. • Modified all-Democruts approach. Thi~ approach would require Democratic solidarity at some point, but it could be portrayed a!'> a procedural matter rather than a more I:ighly charge~ policy 4uest1on. The crucial votes would occur after the House and Senate had passed separate bi lis. sent them to a powerful ··conference committee'' and then prepared to give the reconciled (and possibly much-changed) product a final yes-or no vote in each chamber. The first key is to get the House and Senate to pass their own bi lis. even if tht'V differ widely. The Senate \'Crsion probably would be more constrained than the House version, in order to attract enough GOP support to overcome filibusters . House-Senate negoti might make the final p age closer to the House's more liberal version. That would anger Senate Republicans. and perhaps some moderate Democrats, who could threaten a filibuster on the Last showdown vote. But Obama and his allies could urge the centrist Democrats, in the name of pat1y loyalty, to reject a filibuster even if they plan to vote against the bill itself. If Byrd or Kennedy could not provide the crucial 60th vote, it might come from a retiring Republican who concludes that a huge issue such as overhauling health care deserves an up-ordown vote. Such a senator might be George Voinovich of Ohio. said Norm Ornstein. who has \\TJtten about Congress for years at the Amer·· Enterprise Institute. This multi-pronged s nano would yield somethin~ "closer to a third or quarter of a loaf than the full package" that liberals want. Ornstein said. But with the Senate's 40 Republicans able to use the filibuster, and the House's conservative Democrats able to block a bill they consider too costly. that's probably the most Obama can hope for, he said. Nothing. All the above options may faiL and partisan clashes could kill the bid to overhaul health care altogether. Top lawmakers consider this unlikely. Democrats control the House. Senate and White House. and they should be able to produce at least a modest bill that Obama could tout as a victory. with hopes of coming back for more in later ye• . Passing no bill at \\OUid severely wot Obama's image. exasperate liberals and drag Congress' reputation for effectiveness lower. The political fallout might be hard to predict, l10~ever. The blame for failing to make even modest improvements to U.S. health care might stick to Republican critics of Obama as \Veil as Democrats who used their majorities for naught. .. ��PageMi The Daily Sentinel Friday, August 21, Religion News in Brief A Hunger For More In yet another misadventure amongst the cornstalks we have perhaps learned ~ broader (and maybe a deepe~) perspective of some kmgdom principles. It had come to our attention a few weeks ago that the number of tomatoes among the vines in our garden were qot what we had expected. At first, it was simply a vague feeling that something was amiss. but it got to the point of being fairly obvious when a tomato vine on one e.vening would have multiple clusters of tomatoes and then suddenly be stripped bare by the next morning. Cucumber plants also were being plundered although squash plants were only mildly disturbed: I guess that squash was not someone's favorite vegetable. The bean plants did not appear to be disturbed suggesting that the task of picking beans was simply too time consuming or too much work to bother with for our neighborhood vegetable picker. We considered the various culprits that possibly could be responsible and had to rule out animals (even raccoons). The plants were not pulled down but were simply plucked of their vegetables. What planted the realization beyond the reach of doubt, however, was our discovery of our storage building's doors having been forced open, the latch bent almost beyond repair (with a few items missing from our building). Our backyard is completely surrounded by a chain link fence with gates that are locked but a spry person (or persons) can hop over the fence and back again without too much trouble. The aggravation came to a head (or maybe I should say that it came to an "ear") when we realized that someone was carrying off the corn. In spite of the hard work of preparing the soil (we had the help of a small rototiller for some of it but did most of it just with a shovel), the ongoing work of weeding (a never ending battle), and the struggle with falling cornstalks (don't worry, I won't go into THAT again), someone had carried off twice as much corn as we were able to pick for ourselves. Needless to say, the Lord has been using the experience to develop our character in the realm of anger. And really, if someone wanted some of it we would have liked to have shared it with him ... or her. .. or them. But in our discussing the it. Not only is He being robbed of the devotion of His people, He is also being robbed of the effect that such devotion has on unbelievers: the salvation of souls. And if you can imagine Diane and myself being somewhat disturbed and frustrated by someone coming into our yard to snatch a few vegetables. then you'll probably realize that the spiritual crime of robbing God is far more serious and deadly. So what do we do? How do we NOT rob God of His harvest? The Bible puts forward this plan of action. "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed. do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him" (Colossians 3:12-17 NIV). So take care to not let spiritual thieves into the corner of God's garden that is your life. Focus your devotion upon the Lord Jesus and Jet His Holy Spirit nurture the soil of your heart with His Word. As He brings conviction to your spirit from the revealing of His truth, yield to His leading and follow His lead. Our family has taken some steps to discourage future thefts, and God is taking steps to protect a future harvest in your life. Let Him have His way in your heart and let Him reap the fruits of grace that He desires to produce for you. Pastor Thorn Mollohan whole matter, my wife, Diane, and I have actually been reminded of Jesus' parable of the sower. the seed, and the soils in Matthew 13. "Then Jesus told them many things in parables, saying, 'A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along, the path, and the birds came and ate it up.' ... 'When anyone hears the message about the Kingdom (of God) and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path'" (Matthew 13:3-4, 19 NIV). There is a "seed" called the Gospel of Jesus Christ that is being sown along the path of life today and there are "birds" out and about scavenging that seed. A little bit like those that have snuck into our backyard to help themselves, there are causes and philosophies and false religions that steal from God the harvest that He desires in His people. What complicates this is that much of this is happening, in a sense, in His backyard. Causes that compete with the proclamation of God's Truth and ideas that have their origins in worldly philosophy have a way of infiltrating the lives of Christians and consequently steer them away from the harvest of Godly fruits that the soil of their lives would yield for Christ. Instead of the fruits of worship, thanksgiving, love, joy, peace, holiness, and glory to God, folks are too often giving themselves to thieves. As a result they leave behind legacies of selfishness, resentment, strife, brokenness, anger, immorality, and dishonor to God's name. Frankly, if your life is not wholly surrendered to God for His glory and purposes, and obeying Him and experiencing His love in your life is not your top priority, then someone has been plundering the garden of God and you are an accomplice. What makes this worse is that many Christians are "okay" with this mediocre and lukewarm spirituality. But the Lord isn't okay with 2009 Singapore prime minister says religion threatens stability SINGAPORE (AP) - Singapore's prime minister said in his National Day speech that "aggressive preaching" by religious groups and evangelizing threaten the tiny city-state's stability. Lee Hsien Loong, a Huddhtst by birth, said his education at the island's Roman Catholic High School was an example of how different religions can coexist peacefully. "The most visceral and dangerous fault line (in Singapore) is race and religion," Lee said. Singapore's majority Buddhist Chinese, Malay Muslims and Indian Hindus have largely avoided conflict since race riots between Chinese and Malays left about 40 dead in the 1960s. "Christians can't expect this to be a Christian society," he said last Sunday. "Muslims can't expect this to be a Muslim society, ditto with the Buddhists, the Hindus and the other groups." In the most recent census in 2000, 43 percent of Singaporeans said they were Buddhist, 15 percent Muslim, 15 percent Christian, 8.5 percent Taoist and 4 percent Hindu. Lee cited the case of a Christian couple jailed earlier this year for distributing religious pamphlets deemed offensive to members of other faiths, and he condemned those who try to convert ailing hospital patients "who don't want to be converted." "You push your religion on others, you cause nuisance and offense," he said. He said the government must remain secular because Singapore's authority and laws "don't come from a sacred book." Lee's People's Action Party has ruled Singapore since independence 50 years ago. Lee said there has been a global surge in religious fervor, including in the United States and Islamic countries. "There is a wave of revival, megachurches and televangelism," Lee said. "Religion and politics are supposed to be separated in America, but in reality they are closely entangled."

BY TOM BREEN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER CHARLESTON, W.Va. As the economy continto gtind away at jobs, omes and lifetimes' of savings, Bishop Thomas D. Jakes looks back from his ' position as one of America's most successful preachers and remembers his own hard times. T.D. Jakes known internationally by those first two initials, or simply as "bishop'' to the people at his 30,000-member Dallas megachurch The Potter's House - began his life and ministry in West Virginia's Kanawha Valley. As a young husband and father. he lost his job when the local Union Carbide plant closed, and found himself slipping out of the middle class, working for years at hard jobs for low pay. Eventually. though, he turned a seven-member church in the tiny town of Montgomery into the vast ·tories known today as . Jakes Ministries and • J Enterprises - discrete kingdoms that nonetheless complement each other, with the Pentecostal-honed Christianity of the former blending with the empowerand-entertain entrepreneurship of the latter. Jakes, 52, preached a sermon on Inauguration Day this year and is frequently mentioned as one of the prospective heirs to Billy Graham's title as America's Pastor. He eschews an active role in speaking out on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. though, warning churches not to become better known for politics than for prayer. Instead. as the author of more than 30 best-selling books, producer of films and music and developer of a housing park in Dallas, es displays his social agement primarily from • ng a model of business leadership for the AfricanAmerican community and a source of chatity both at home and overseas. Jakes shuns the term "prosperity gospel," the belief that God is willing and eager to bestow material blessings on the faithful. But he has no problem with being a wealthy Christian, and with instructing other Christians on how they can emulate him. Returning to Charleston this week for a major homecorning conference for the first time since he left for Dallas in 1996, Jakes spoke with The Associated Press about the economy, President Barack Obama and the changing face of American Christianity. Here are his answers in con- In this July 19,2006 photo, Bishop T.D. Jakes asks the crowd to make some noise during the opening event of MegaFest at International Plaza in Atlanta. AP photo densed form: ••• Q: What do you say to people who tell you, 'Tve been faithful, and now I've lost my job and my house?" Is it wrong for Christians to expect earthly rewards along with heavenly rewards? A: After 52 years of living, I've learned that all Christians should come to realize that God sends us blessings, but he also sends us tests and challenges. It's a misrepresentation to think we're going to get all of one and none of the other. Life has a way of bringing both sorrow and success in our lives. Sometimes the test is not how much we get of either, but how we manage both. Financial success. academic success. those don't exempt us from personal maladies. ••• Q: So there's no contradiction in being a rich Christian? A: You're going to have Christians who are successful and Christians who are not. Just like you have Muslims who are successful and Muslims who are not. We're not a monolith. There are so many factors besides whether someone is Christian. Are you educated? Are you entrepreneurial? ••• Q: You preached a sermon at President Obama's inauguration and have met with him. What do you think about the job he's done so far? A: He hit the ground running 100 miles an hour. In some areas the progress has been amazing, but when I look at the work there is to do, though, its a mammoth task. He's tried to do the things he promised during his campaign, and thafs refreshing. But we're not all the way there yet. We haven't had enough details about the health care plan. I'd like to hear more specificity about that. I'm certainly glad to see some glimmers of life in the economy. I do think we're on the way to a turnaround. ••• Q: The Potter's House is a nondenominational church. although you were ordained in the Pentecostal tradition. Are denominations losing their significance, especially for Protestants? A: Denominations are not necessarily a bad thing. It's a way to categorize our belief system. But today, I do find people are not nearly as loyal to the brand of their denomination as much as they are to their commitment to Christ. ••• issues and making statements about what they're against. It has turned off people because it's caused people to believe that Christianity is a negative religion. We have to talk about what we're for, rather than what we're against. We have to make our faith more relative to the needs of this generation. People do want to express their faith. They don't want to be locked into political entanglements and picketing and fighting. They have problems of their own. They come to church to be uplifted, not enlisted. ••• Q: You've had tremen- help newer, nondenominational churches at the expense of more traditional churches? A: It's coming from two sides. Those who are in denominations cannot take parishioners for granted. They have to work hard to see that those people's needs are met. Those that are not a part of big denominations are no longer exempt from an opportunity to be heard and considered as a major place of worship. But it's a new day in other ways and churches have to adapt. One of the things I'm noticing today is people watching ministry over the Internet, participating in services from home. Who would have thought that technology would allow you to have an audience at home as large as the audience in the pews? dous success with books and programs aimed at women, particularly the multimillion selling "Woman. Thou Art Loosed." Have traditional churches ignored women, or taken them for granted? A: Any time the preponderance of the people in the pews are different from the people in the pulpit, whether by gender or class or race, we run the risk of lacking the sensitivity to make the appropriate decisions. And historically, the pulpit has been mostly male, and the pews have been mostly female. It's important that men don't lose their sensitivity to women's issues. Women are emerging in all aspects of leadership today, both in the church and outside the church. It's inevitable that we'll continue to see women move up the ladder in leadership in the church and society as a whole. Q: Surveys suggest that Americans aren't necessarily turning their backs on spirituality so much as they're growing disenchanted with established religious traditions. How can Christian churches address that? A: The church has a tendency to show up in the public square, in secular media, enraged about Q: If you had to sum up Christianity for someone hearing about it for the first time. what would you say? A: Christ came into the world that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly. He came to give something to you, not to take something from you. If you open your heart and mind to that, you can receive it. Q: Is that good? Does that ••• ••• eoca1 Events Gallia Gospel Sing is Aug. 28-29 GALLIPOLIS - The 20th Gallia County Gospel Sing will be held at the Gallia County Junior Fairgrounds, Jackson Pike, Friday and Saturday, Aug. 28-29.

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. 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.

Today I'd like to share the results of your consistent prayer life. Prayer produces results. Prayer is to produce results. No prayer, no results. Some people feel funny about expecting results in prayer, in giving. and in church attendance. My question is: "Why not expect results?" The reason for God's empowerment in our lives through Christ is not only to give us a ticket to heaven but also to experience results. We are a needy people who need God's power to intervene in our lives. Amazingly enough we have been created to depend upon God Almighty to function in this life. Many folks are successful without God and without prayer, however, I'm yet to meet a wealthy person with all the toys a man can ever ask for who is at peace, and full of love and joy without God. Yet I have known countless folks that go without toys and yet the joy of the Lord emanates their life. When I talk about the results of prayer I'm not talking about the ability to get stuff. I'm talking about the ability to be all the God wants us to be and have. In Matthew 21 : 13 And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer. .. · The powerful results of every revival that has ever taken place in any community carry a common denominator- Prayer! You see, prayer produces results . This is why the Apostle Paul tells us to pray without ceasing, in 1 Thessalonians 5: 17. Not to never stop praying but to always be conscious of God's presence and your dependency of God. This is serious business. I want to show you some of the results of prayer. First of all, prayer produces power, even power over all the powers of your enemy the devil. He is a liar and the father of lies, the Bible says. Prayer produces power over all sorts of bad attitudes and junk that comes against us constantly. Secondly, prayer produces peace. The peace that passes all understanding rules our heruts and mind in Christ Jesus but this does not come by simply being a Christian. A Christian that doesn't pray is a frustrated, conquered, defeated Christian. Therefore, a person that prays is a person Pastor Alex Colon that will trust God. knowing· that God will give you the desires of your herut, therefore, peace is inevitable. · Thirdly, prayer produces praise! When you pray - • you praise! Praise is a pow-! erful weapon of warfare.· Might as well be a weapon · of mass destruction. The devil hates praise! He hates ' the fact that Jesus abides in the midst of the praises oF His people. When we pray· believing, we know that) we'll receive what we have• asked for, therefore. there is· no room for begging but~ there is much room for praise! Fourthly, prayer produces · purity. Purity of heart is one' of those secret downfalls of1 our society today including~ the body of Christ. I wish~ the opposite was true.: 1 However. purity of mind and heart is a very serious-: characteristic of the life ofJ the believer. Purity is the) physical stamp of approval> that we are people of• integrity and trust\vorthi- · ness. Just like the impurities· in the body must come out through the pores by perspi-· ration. so is spiritual perspi-: ration necessary to rid· impurity out of the church. ~ Purity of heart produces~ good business ethics. good moral values, strong relationships, selflessness and a' host of other Spirit lead ele-: ments. • The result of prayer is the• prayer of results. The reason.· for spending time in prayer· and praying without ceasing is to get to know the voice · of God, the will of God iri· order to do what God wants: us to do. In other words. the result' of our prayer life is to kno\.\:... Him, in order to producec Him. period! Be encouraged that your prayers are heard' and He wants you to heat" His answer to your prayer. Prayer does produce results! Make it a great results week! (Alex Colon is pastor and evangelist at Lighthouse Assembly of God, 4976 Ohio 160, Gallipolis, 1-112 · miles north of Holzer Medical Center.

So many things to do, To Christ is she really true? So many empty pews. That's the preacher's view. Faithful in attendance are but a few, What kind of example are you?

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER • NEW YORK - Unlike many teachers, Beth Simon ha~n 't banned her college ~tudcnts from using their cell phones or the lntcnH..'t during class. Instead, the computer science professor encourages them to text message responses to her questions and research information on the Web while she is lecturing. "They're going to usc it no matter what," said Simon. of the University of California, San Diego. "How do you usc this ulmjuitous technology that's out there to change the dynamic of the classroom , to engage the students?" The measure of a technologyenhanced campus used to be the number of computer labs and whether there v. as wireless access. but fast-paced ad\ ancements hm c destro) ed the boundaries of classroom<;, said Glenn Platt. professor ot interactive mcdw studies nt Miam1 L:nher<>ity in Oxford. Oh1o . Some professors make the1r lectures a' ailable as podcasts, pro' ide live ~treaming 'ideo of classes and maintain d1-.cusslon boards so sllldents can post questions. They encourage tweeting. blogging and dt,Jtting online with other students. That's what it takes to engage this generation. said Gary Rudman. who has a consulting linn that s(udies teens and young adults. IIi<; GTR Consulting recently rek'ased a report on teens and technology. ''Technology is ~>uch an inherent part of their hves,'' he :.-aid. "They have come to expect it every" step of the way. When they come to college. they arc expecting this technolog) to be incorporated into their learning.'' Schools arc catching on. Scott McLeod, an associate professor of cducationalleadership and policy ~tudies at )owa State in Ames. has a backchannel. an online ~ccondary conversation, where students can share information. ask question~. such as 'What did he just say'/' and chat about a concept while he is teaching it. Think whispering to the friend next to you in a lecture. (Many people usc Twitter as a hackchanncl). Some may set• this as. u distmction, but students arc u"ed to multitasking. he said. Classes arc changutg as a result of technology. Professors arc not so much people who ~tand and spt~ut f~1cts with students Utl\111g notes, sa1d Platt. The Internet has all of the information. And students aren't going to come to class for a lecture 1f it's on a podcast. So that means man¥ instructors: a~e, trying to make the classroom more '' f I AP photo interactive. For examplc .. Piatt spends class time focusing tm critical thinking, problem solving and team-based learning. He puts together mini-podcasts to explain confusing concepts and encourages students to :1sk questions on their '"Twitter page to get instant answers from their peers. . Certain technologies that make instruction and learning easier are growing in popularity. ln the first five months of 2009. from Jnnum)' to May, SMART Technologies sold nearly 65.000 SMART Board interactive \\hiteboards to U.S. customers. a 28 percent in.crease over sales in the same period last year. The board connects to a computer and digital projector allowing teachers to access computer applications or Intcrnct resources by touching the board's .,urface. Teachers usc their tinger as a mouse and can even \\rite on the board with digital ink. Professors arc also using student response systems to gauge how well students grasp a lesson. The systems allow students to answer questions using a clicker, which looks like a television remote, and the result~ arc immediately recorded on the teacher's computer screen. While few students take notes on PDAs - too difficult - the) arc using ~adget~ li~e Livesoribo Inc.'s Pulse ~martpcn. a computer in a pen that cap- lures hand\vritten notes while recording nnd linking audio, from a professor's lecture, for example. to the notes. By tapptng on the notes with the smartpen, students can hem the conversation from that exact moment in time. The pens cost $149.95 and $199.95. depending on the siLc. Students are also getting textbooks for free thanks to companies like Flat World Knowledge in Nyack, N.Y. Professors can customize the expertauthored, online books to fit their lecture:.-. deleting chapters or sections. for example. Students can read them for free or choose to buy from a range of alternatives that include a soft-cover hlnck-and-whitc version for $29. Flat World Knowledge. which was founded in 2007. will be releasing versions of textbooks that can be downloaded to the iPhonc or Sony Reader Digitnl Book for fall classes. • And with leading tc>.tbook publishers Cengagc Learning. Pearson. and .Wiley. beginning to offer textbooks through the Kindle Store this summer. you may sec more students with the wireless reading device.

Valerie Gi:bert thought she knew which third-grade teacher would be perfect for her son, Stanley. Impressed by that teacher's creative, visually stimulating style, the Berkeley, Calif.. mother lobbied on Stanley's behalf "I did my best to make my opinion known," Gilbert said. The school. however, placed Stanley in a different class. And to his mother's surprise and delight, the year wound up being so successful for him that Gilbert said she is approaching his pending entry into fourth grade in a new way: by vowing to stay out of the process. 'Tm learning to be more open-minded," she said. With parents becoming increasingly involved in their children's lives and educations, Gilbert's foray into her son's classroom placement process is not unique, particularly around this time of year when anxieties about the coming school year run high. Whether such parental input into teacher selection is good for children is open to question. "Parent~. should worry less about these kinds of ~ecisit>ns," maintains Dr. Paul J. Donahue, a Scarsdale, N.Y., child psychologist and author of "Parenting Without Fear" (St. Martins, 2007). "Our job as parents is not to make everything perfect for our kids." Children learn important life lessons how to be resilient and adapt to a range of situations - when required to roll with the ) punches, Donahue said. "Our kids are capable aAd"thcy can cope," he said, adding that in general parents should do less for their kids to help make them stronger as individuals. While a small percentag~ of children with special needs may benefit from more parental involvement, most kids arc bound sometime in life to be in situations that are less than ideal and "they have to learn to deal with it." Another important lesson learned when parents step back is respecting boundaries. Donahue said. "The , kids need to see that their parents cooperate in the process." he said. "Parents have to follow the rules." Not everyone agrees. Sheila Carter, principal at William Hatch Elementary School in Oak Park. Ill., said she welcomes parental input as one of many factors used in trying to create a diverse class with children of mixed abilities. In fact. she solicits it through a memo circulated toward the close of each school year, when the next year's classes are forn1ed. Carter said she draws the line at unreasonable requests. ''I've had a parent almost try to make my class list," Carter said. "'Now that's a lot of nerve." Yet she believes that while she and her teachers do their best to know students and their needs, parents usually have a far deeper understanding of their children and what factors may help or hinder them in school. "I've heard principals say they don't take requests," Carter said. "Well, I think they are making a serious mistake not listening to parents at all. Who knows the children better than parents?" Although it's not possible to meet every parental request, giving them credence is also important in building relationships with parents, an essential component in students' success, she said. There are parents who would rather leave the classroom stuff to the professionals. Karen White, an Atlanta-area author and mother of two teenagers, said she was so turned off by neighborhood parents discussing the ins and outs of local teachers that it was a factor when she decided to put her children in private school. "I just thought it was ridiculous with so many other things to focus on," White said. She said she was raised to believe that learning to get along with a range of people is key to success.

Or that she could actually go sec Miley Cyrus in concert. She thinks "idiot" and "stupid" arc bad words and has no idea what a Wii is. I like it this way, but I realize my almost-6-year-old can't live in a bubble forever. She will go to school and pick up phrases I don't like and make friends I won't approve of. She will sec and hear the exact things I have been trying to keep her from. In August, my daughter will head to a new, big school where she stay:; all day, and I will lose some control of her world. I am slowly coming to peace with this, but how do I make sure she navigates this new territory without trading in her childhood on the playground? Dr. Perri Klass, a pediatrician d professor of journalism and pediatrics at New York University, assured me that no matter how much I try to keep certain shows or movies away from my daughter, she will pick up all the little details about them at school. "What children find most interesting is what they hear and learn from other children," she said. "All little girls will Jearn to roll their eyes and shake their heads." But Klass says not to panic. Just because children are exposed to something like a violent movie doesn't mean they will change their behavior. Besides, keeping them away from things you deem inappropriate can be tough. Jennifer Morley, a Henderson, Nev., mom of two. said her 6-yearold son asks why he can't watch a certain movie or play a video game that all his friends play. "I just try and tell him every family has different rules," she said. Morley is a bit nervous about her son going to first grade in a school with more than 900 students. Previously, he went to a small, private kindergarten where she could hand-pick his friends. She is even leery about her son going on play dates without her. "I think it's just a lack of control that I'm afraid of." she said. Life happens, and you can't always control what happens. But what you can control is letting your childrt!n know they are cared for and protected,. Klass said. Make sure they are not watching too much television, rule out inappJopriate shows and set parameters. But a little indulgence at another kid's house. whether it be a glimpse of a forbidden television show or dessert before dinner, probably won't do too much harm. A parent's role. Klass said, is not so much controlling the kind of input that your children receive, but helping them understand and deal with the things they see and experience. For us right nO\\, that is the pink Barbie car that buzzes up and dO\vn the sidewalk with the neighbor girls inside. My daughter believes she may be deprived of happiness if she doesn't get one of those cars. She had never seen one like this until now. Can't they just lock that Barbie car in the garage?

It takes discipline, they say, a clear study plan and. often. an armful of advanced placement credits from high school. "1 didn't think it was worth it to pay another $40,000 to play with my friends for another year. cheer for a year. and write a thesis,'' said Nina Xue. who eamed a bachelors degree in history and French in three years this spring at Rice University. where she also found time to be a cheerleader. Xue says she didn't start college with hrec-year plan, but did have a head _ rt with 26 AP credits. She took more an 15 hours of classes during two semesters and studied abroad one summer for credit. At the start of her third year, she realized she had enough credits to graduate at the end of the year. It was hard leaving friends behind, but "making my parents pay for another year of school would not have been fair," says Xue, who plans to pursue a law degree and work in New York City next year. Only 4.2 percent of U.S. undergraduates eamed bachelor's degrees in three years. according to the most recent statistics from the Education Department. The average student spends six years to get a degree at a public university and 5.3 years at a private institution. according to the College Board. A handful of colleges have begun offering three-) car degree program .... an idea trumpeted by Sen. Lamar and CC~llege president, at the American Counc'J of Education's annual meeting in FebJ uary. He called three-year degree progra~s the higher-education equivalent o a fuel efficient car. But ritics say shaving the fourth year off co ege could limit a student's social experi...nce and provide a narrower education "Frq a financial standpoint. particularly jn these economic times. it's a great (!(eat." said Roxie Catts. an academic ~1dviser at the University of Arizoma. But that would mean sacrificing some general education courses. she said -- "the things that get you out of your comfort zone and stick with you for life." Barbara Rupp. admissions director at the University of Missouri, added. "In some disciplines it would not be possible" to finish in three years.

"It's good to get a series, but at this point, you want to get greedy, and we were so close to getting a sweep here.'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. San Francisco fell two games back of NL wild card-leading Colorado, which beat Washington 4-1 to finish off a three-game sweep. The Giants and Rockies are scheduled to open a four-game series Friday in Denver. Cain's one mistake came in the sixth, when Laynce Nix hit a one-out drive to center for his first homer in 33 at-bats since Aug. 2 against Colorado.

"That's a game there that you know is going to be a low-scoring game.'' Cain said. "With a 1-0 lead, you have to try to keep that. With a 0-1 pitch to Nix, I threw a good pitch and he ended up taking a good swing and hitting it. Sometimes it comes down to that one pitch and taking advantage of it." Aaron Harang pitched seven solid innings for the Reds, yielding one run and six hits. The right-hander is 1-lO with a 4.78 ERA in his last 16 starts. The Giants loaded the bases with one out in the fourth, and Juan Uribe scored on a wild pitch. San Francisco put runners on first and third with one out in the eighth against Arthur Rhodes, but pinchhitter Edgar Renteria grounded into a double play.

Brady went 4-for-8 for 57 yards, including a 32-yard gain on which Welker ran most of the way. He was more productive in the opening 27-25 win at Philadelphia when he threw two scoring passes to Chris Baker. Golf from PageBl W HITE FALCONS SOAR PAST MEIGS MASON Led by senior co-captain Brandon Johnson, the Wahama White Falcons won a dual golf match Thursday against Meigs High School. The play six, count four nine hole contest was held at the Riverside Golf Course. Johnson shot the lowest score of his high school career turning in a fine 39 on the hot and humid day. The 39 earned Brandon medalist honors. Wahama's other co-captain, Dave Greene. had the second best score for the winners. Dave's 44 was a real up and down ride as he had 6 pars, 2 triple bogies and a double bogey. It was one of those rounds that could have been special. Also contributing to Wahama's final total of 175 were freshmen Dakota Sisk and Samuel Gordon with identical scores of 46. Matt Arnold, Zack Whitlatch, Caroline Thompson and Kevin Back also played with their scores not inc1uded in the final total. The Meigs team was playing their initial match of the season and there inexperience showed at times. Scott Kennedy shot a 48 to lead his team. Ben Hood added a 58 and Ryan Jefferies shot a 59. The final score in the team total of 226 was turned in by Tyler Andrews who shot a 61. James Cunningham also played for Meigs, but his score was not added in the final tally. Wahama concludes a busy week on Ftiday play- Although the coaching staff hasn't announced a pecking order at placekicker. it would be an earthshaking event for Pettrey to not have the job in front of redshirt freshman Ben Buchanan and senior Devin Barclay, who walked on a year ago. Buchanan. in particular, got a kick out of the kick scrimmage. "It was a busy day, from kickoffs to field goals to punts," said the three-time all-state kicker from suburban Columbus. who also punts. "Probably not my best day, but not my worst day either. Just kind of a Jot of fun, that's what the kick scrimmage is about. I had some kicks that I'm really going to look at in film and study hard. Some kicks I want back and some kicks I was pretty proud of." Buchanan even completed a pass on a fake kick, further enlivening the scrimmage played in cavernous Ohio Stadium. empty except for players, coaches, a few interested friends of the program and some reporters. This was the first time Barclay had ever really faced the heat of being one of the featured performers in the kickers' version of Can You Top This? "They put a big emphasis on it. It's like kind of our biggest day," he said. "You definitely feel (the pressure)." Pettrey converted a 48yard field goal on the last play of the scrimmage to give the Gray squad a 2724 win over the Scarlet. The losing squad had to walk the half-mile or so back to the Woody Hayes ing host to Ravenswood, Charleston Catholic and Point Pleasant at the Riverside Course. P OINT GOLFERS FEND OFF P OCA POINT PLEASANT In a dual nine-hole high school golf match held Wednesday at Hidden Valley Golf Course. the Big Blacks defeated their counterparts from Poca High School. The winning score for Point Pleasant in the play six, count four format was 165 compared to Poca's 173. Point's Opie Lucas was the medalist for the day shooting a very good 3 8. Alex Potter followed close behind with a 40 while Erik practice facility - while the winners rode by in triumph on buses. Even though he called himself No. 3 on the depth chart, Pettrey conceded he wasn't far from the t. spot. "Ben and Devin are a I tie bit more accurate than me right now." he said: "But we're all right there together. We're all push ing each other." That's not the case at' punter, where Trapasso hogged almost all the.. chances over the last four seasons. Now a sub with the Tennessee Titans. Trapasso had 203 of Ohio State's 205 kicks for a 41.0; average over that span. ~ Jon Thoma, the only Buckeye to punt other than Trapasso over those four years, is currently the front-runner for the job. But he had a bad scrimmage. which may have opened the door for Buchanan to take over as punter and backup placekicker. "It was one of those days where you warm up a. everything goes right. y expect it to go right, then · you go out there and you swing (your leg) hard and you just don't make perfect contact with the ball," said Thoma, a former walk-on who is a fifth-year senior. ''If I would have punted how I warmed up, we'd be having a different conversation right now." Buchanan is pleased just to be in the punting picture' after spending all of last" season watching others get all the playing time. ''I'm excited, whatever my role's going to be, whether that's starting or. whether that's backing up (someone else) and learning another year," he said. "Last year learning under A.J. and Aaron and Ryan, 1 did get a lot better. I've improved. still think improve."

The film incorporates home video, personal photos and footage taken during: James' final two years of high school. James said he could have never imagined the finished product. "We had a camemman following us around. It was one more camera in my life. but we were just helping a guy do a school project," he said. "We never thought that six years after we graduated high school that it would turn into this." James hopes those who :-ee it come away inspired. ·The message. especially to inner city kids. is to just have a dream," he said. ··sometimes when you're a kid. you don't believe that: your dream can become a rcalitv. All five of us had a dream of winning a national championship and we d1dn 't let anything stand in our way until we made it a reality. "There's more ,,:ays out. than just basketball. but at the : same time. we used the game, we didn't let the game usc us. By doing that we created a loyalty. we created a friend-, ship and a brotherhood that· was going to last forever. 1 We're still best friends.'' 2009 FALL SPORTS PREVIEW FRIDAY, AUGUST 28,2009 • MEIGS HIGH SCHOOL • EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL • SOUTHERN SCHO We've lowered our prices on hundreds of Mohawk ColorCenter carpets ... the finest quality carpets we carry!

"Relief probably isn't tile word to describe it,' he said. "It really is like a weight has been lift· ed off my shoulders to finally get this win for (sponsor/owner) Red Bull and Toyota ... and myself." Vickers gave Team Red Bull its first OffiCial Cup victory and TC11Qta its first victory at the track closest to rival manufacturers Che\o]', Ford and Dodge. It was crew chief Ryan Pemberton's seoond win just as it was Vickers' second as a driver. Vickers' first victory had been at Hendrick Motorsports, while Pemberton's had been with Joe Nemechek. Somehow the pair managed to do what the more celebrated duo, Jimmie John~on e:mtl Chad Knaus, couldn't, which was to make it the end, 51 laps after the final pit stop.

Vickers and Busch were preoccupied with each other, and their squabble enabled Brad Ke· selowski to pass both of them on the final lap of the Carfax 250. Busch called Vickers an idiot. Vickers said he didn't realize it was all about Busch and getting out of his way. NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton gives his take: "Neither was blameless 1n squandering a possible victory. On the other hand. both were trymg to win. Keselowski certainly didn't mind." Junior the problem? John Clark / NASCAR Th1s Week Truck Series ~ar Ron Hornaday Jr. says he's had a ~t ride since 1995. His latest feat - winning five straight races - Is unique In that no one has won more than four In arow on the Sprint Cup leYel since Richard Petty's 10 consecutive victories in 1967. ove Five straight wins quite the feat for one of Trucks' best By Monte Dutton four in a row at the Sprint Cup level and are definitely in a class by them- NASCAR This Week since Richard Petty's 10 consecutive victories in 1967. Said former 'fruck Series regular Joe Ruttman: "There's no question, performancewise from start to finish, Hornaday is head and shoulders ahead of everyone else .... When you look at the 'fruck Series in its entirety, you're looking at two guys (Skinner and Hornaday). They're both great guys and have been a real key to the success of 'fruck racing. NASCAR is fortunate to have two great champions in the series still 'duking' it out after all these years." Skinner, still a series regular, joked: "We need to break Hornaday's arms and legs, and maybe (crew chief) Rick Ren's, too, to slow them down a little now. That's about the only way to slow that team down. Right now, they're like a steamroller selves. "It's embarrassing because they're just playing with the rest of the field. They just get out there and ride around, and when it's time to go, they go." "Hornaday's driving style fits the 'fruck Series perfectly because he's a hard-charging, tough competitor," said driver Terry Cook, "and every lap he runs, he races like it's the last lap." The most modest assessment of Hornaday's ability and career came from, well, Hornaday himself. "It's been a great ride for me," he said. Hornaday's reputation - tough, but fair- fits the 'fruck Series' image. "If you rough a guy up, he'll get you back," he said. "All these things take place. The driver makes the decision on how badly he wants to win it. If you cross the line, there will be payback. That's just part of it." Is Ron Horr:aday Jr. the greatest driver in the history of what is now the Camping World Truck Series? According to a wide range of observers, there isn't much doubt. Hornaday's latest accomplishment - a record five consecutive victories -is only a small part of what the 51· year-old native of Palmdale, Calif., has achieved since the 'fruck Series began in 1995. He has competed regularly in all but five seasons (2000-04) and won a record 45 races (entering the Aug. 19 race at Bristol Motor Speedway), far outdistancing Jack Sprague (28) and Mike Skinner (26). To quantify the significance of the five consecutive victories, one should note that no one has won more than This Week welcomes letters to the editor, but please be aware that we have room for only a few each week.
