For James Dean. a native 1 of Meigs County and the ! Wolfe Pen area, when he thinks of Christian missionary work. he thinks Siberia. Dean, a graduate of Meigs High School. along with his wife Cassie and young daughters. Emily and Melana, are packing up their Jives and moving to the arctic region on Aug. 5 with support from their home church. Hillside Baptist on Ohio 143. Dean said out of high school he attended Bible college · in Pontiac, Mich . where he met his wife. While at college Dean said he felt the Lord calling him mto missions and more specificall; the arctic region in Siberia. Helping this vision along was a presentation at college about the need for missions in the circle polar regions. "The closest thing to pioneer missions would be arctic missions," Dean said. This mission (as most) is not an. easy task. including the 35 to 40 hours of flying the family must do to simply get to the Russian town of Krasnoyarsk where they will spend over a year learning the language. ~As a preacher. I'm look1 ing forward to preaching the gospel and getting fluent enough in the language to communicate the gospel con·ectly and accurately:· Dean explained. Once that phase is completed, the family heads to the far north of Siberia to begin a church. Dean said the family will be in Russia for three years. then return to the United States for a .six-month furlough and then back ROCKSPRINGS - The Meigs County Dog Shelter has received a $4.500 grant from the Petfinder.com Foundation to purchase enough vaccine to inoculate all its incoming dogs and puppies against kennel cough (inf~~t ious tracheobronchitis) for approximately one year. Kennel cough is similar to the common cold: it is a contagious virus that shelter managers would like to eradicate. In addition, Meigs County Dog Warden Tom Proftitt announced a vaccine maker donated to the shelter 240 doses of the common seven-way vaccination for dogs to ensure healthy dogs are available tor adoption. "These donations mean our dogs will be in better health when they go out to famil ies who want to adopt.'' Proffitt said. ·''In shelters, kennel cough can be devastati ng," said El izabeth Neuschatz. executive director of the Petfi nder .com Foundation. "It spreads rapidly, and treatment is costly. Shelters are often compelled by their budgets to cuthanize otherwise adaptable dogs to stop the spread of the disease. The real keyto stopping this scourge is prevention, and that's the aim of these vaccine grants: stopping kennel cough before it gets started:· The grants are part of the Petfinder.com foundation's Care and Feeding program. Funding is made possible through the Foundation\ partnership with the: Animal Rescue Site's Click to Give program and individual donations. The .Meigs County Dog Shelter has been affiliated with Pl!tfinder.com for four y~:ars. Pctfinder.com allows those who want to adopt to go online to view dogs available for adoption at the shelter. Proffitt said some local people usc Petfindcr.com but mostly it is people who are out of state who work with dog rescues. Proffitt <ldded that since taking over as dog warden he's ~·orked to get all adaptable dogs a home. either via a family or rescues. He said at the Meigs County Dog Shelter he only euthanizes the sick and aggressive dogs now. "We ·arc constantly working with rescues if the dogs can't be adopted locally.'' Proffitt stressed. There arc current! y 15 dogs at the shelter available for adoption. The adoption fee is $21 which includes a rab ies shot and if you live in Me1gs County there is a $6 charge for the dog tag. "It':-; gratifymg to be part of a program that can make such a difference for shelter dogs," said Tim Kunin. CEO of The Animal Rescue Site .

Then his political career took a tumble in 2006 when he wa~ clobbered by a lesser-knov. n opponent in the Republican primary for Georgia lieutenant governor. leading some to conclude Reed's days as an influential GOP figure were Q\.er. But Reed is searching for a dose of redemption. He's launched a new venture that supporter:-; hope will bolster a Republican Party struggling to find its footing after the 2008 election and a recent string of embarrassing scandal~. "I don't view it as a comeback," Reed said in a recent interview. " I view it as something I've always tlone - trying to be part of the solution and trying to build at the grass roots (level).'' The startup, known as the Faith and Freedom Coalition, is little more than a Web site, but Reed hopes to tum it into a strident new force that uses social media to capture a broader. younger and more diverse audience. Perhaps most telling, the man who helped cement reljgious conservatives into a solid GOP voting bloc said he won't focus his group on social issues, but rather the economic crisis. "This is not the Christian Coalition redux." Reed said. "It's a much broader attempt. Our primary focus is jobs. the economy, taxes, creating economic opportunity. That's the number one issue in the country right now." The 48-year-old will have his work cut out for him. He could still be dogged by ties to disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and will need to overcome concerns that contributed to his embarrassing campaign loss. And Reed faces a new political landscape in the aftermath of President Barack Obama's historic election. Some of hi~ former allies doubt lightning can strike twice. Billy McCormack. a founding member of the Christian Coalition. said Reed helped ignite a conscr vative base in the 1990s that was like ''packed dynamite" searching for a spark. "It's not likely the second match will produce as much power." said McCormack, a AP photo In this July 16 photo. former Christian Coalition leader Ralph Reed pauses during an interview in Atlanta. Louisiana pastor who still sits on the coalition's board. "1be likelihood of him being able to repeat that is difficult." Still, some religious conservatives appear hopeful of his return. There are still plenty of groups seeking to represent evangelicals in the political arena, but former colleagues say Reed's exodus left a void at the grass roots level. "No ~ne is organizing at the precmct and county level like the Christian Coalition did," said Joel Vaughan, who \\'Orked with Reed at the coalition through the 1990s and wrote the recent book "The Rise and Fall of the Christian Coalition: The Inside Story." "And if Ralph can do that. I say more power to him," Vaughan said. Reed was at the helm of the Christian Coalition from 1989 to 1997. leading the organization founded by Pat Robertson to national prominence and helping to transform the Christian right into a political powerhouse. Reed become a rising star of the GOP and earned a cover story in Time magazine. After Reed stepped down in 1997 to court Christian conservative voters for Bush's 2000 campaign. the group's influence and fundraising ability began to wane. In 2001 . Robertson severed ties with the coalition to concentrate on his ministry. Reed returned to the Atlanta suburbs to help ~ngineer the rise of GOP politics in Georgia, then a Democratic stronghold despite its conservative leanings. He chaired the state party during the 2002 elections. when voters elected the first Republican governor since 1872. gained control of the state Senate for the first time in generations and ousted Democratic U.S. Sen. Max Cleland. Reed's rise eventually met a swift fall. His decision to put a new face forward his own - tumed disastrous in 2006 when he was sideS\Viped by the scandal involving Abramoff. who had hired Reed's public relations and lobbying businesses to battle the opening of casinos that would compete with i\brnmoff's American Intlian clients . Reed was never charged with a crime. nor was he called to testify before a U.S. Senate committee investigating the lobbyist. But few doubt his defeat in the primary at the hands of a little-known state senator was linked to hb ties to Abramoff, who pleaded guilty in 2006 to corruption. Those links could continue to haunt him, analysts and former colleagues say. McConnack said the Abramoff fallout still mnkles many of Reed's fanner adherents. John Green. a senior fellow at the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. said Reed will have to work to return to the good graces of Christian conservatives. It "hurt him in the eyes of a lot of people who had been supporting him," Green said. Potential rivals. meanwhile, say there are opportunities for more like-minded movements. "There is alway~ room for more people who want to start organizations." said Roberta Combs. president of the Christian Coalition. Reed said his organization is looking to be more inclusive by reaching out to Jews, Hispanics, blacks and any other group receptive to a fiscal conservative message. "It's going to look different from the vehicles we have now. It's going to be younger, it's going to be more stritlent," he said. ''It's going to be principled but less ideologically reflexive. And it's going to have a broader issues agenda.'' 2009 A Hunger For More A long gaze backward over the ages that make up the whole of human history can only really result in one conclusion: that man's heart condition has not changed. No collective human wisdom has prevailed over our · towards inclinations destructive behavior nor has our instinct for selfish indulgence seemingly lessened any notable degree. In the land of plenty. there is still want. In the age of information there is still ignorance. In a time of incredible advances in meddeath remains tcme. inescapable. And in spite of all the leaps made in technology and space exploration. the inner space of our own souls continues to be unsatisfied and unfulfilled. Because Qf the various broken promises of hope made by men and institu tions throughout the ages, one might be tempted to give way to depression Because of the uselessness of seeking hope in politics. social refonn, better health. biogenetics, astrophysics. literature, philosophy. material possessions. and even self improvement, one might utterly surrender to the grim grip of despair. Let's face it. At the best of times and under the best of Circumstances. our world cannot preserve for us such a sure haven of hope and peace that the corruption of human nature cannot in time invade and defeat it. Whether we are speaking of world conflict as nation contmues to threaten other nations with wanton slaughter and mass destruction or if we are considering the ongoing rise of conflict in the home as husbands and wtves separate and divorce or children suffer from various forms of neglect and abuse. signs of our collective moral failure surround us and saturate our culture. Even education cannot cure the curse of man's struggle with himself and with his neighbors. At best (and I'm being generous). it is only capable of addressing "how'' folks can live life; it cannot supply them with the "want to" for the making of · choices that address the deepest needs in their lives. All we have left then. as we wallow in these realizations, is ari empty void waiting to be filled with temporary "fixes'' in life as people float from one experience to another in thetr endless ''In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you mny have had to suffer grief in al kinds of trials. These ha come so that your faith of greater worth than gnl which perishes even though refined bv fire·- muy he proved genuine anti may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed" ( I Peter I :6-7 NIV). So whatever desperate trial surrounds >·ou now. remember that it ts for only •·a little while" and that the God Who defeated death by raising His Son again in u glorified body that cannot die again. has established for you a destiny greater than any that this world can offer. "Though you have not seen Him, you love Him: and even though you do not see Him now, you believe in Him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy. for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls'' ( 1 Peter 1:7-8 NIV). So you do not need to he a slave to despair. You do not need to feel oppressed by ogres of doom and gloom. God's Word declares for you an eternally enduring hope that survives the upheavals of the world. God Himself invite:. you to the peaceful surety that He has an inheritance for all who become His children through faith in Christ. And He welcomes you to walk with Him through the years of your life in victory as you believe that He trul) ha~ an eternal place of joy and peace ''kept in heaven for you."

But there is a "filling" that does not fade away and a hope that docs not wither though the year~ run by. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord 'Jesu~ Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a livin!? hope through the resurrection of the dead. and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade - kept in heaven for you who through faith are shielded by Gotl's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time" ( 1 Peter I :3-5 NIV). The hope that is offered us by God through Jesus is not a silly promise that life is going to be easy and every little whim that we have is going to be met. Neither is it an ethereal concept that can only be talked about and never experienced. Nor is it even some great rewnrd reserved for "ultra-religious'' or "superspiritual" persons that have somehow achieved it through their own righteous works or self-enlightenment. No, this "living hope" is reserved for anyone who is humble enough to recognize hi~ or her need for it and willingness to shrug off all the old counterfeits that once had been trusted, to embrace the gift of God's love, no matter how abysmally he or she has failed in the past. It is a hope that recogniles the price that Jc~us paid by dying for our sin.) et chooses to also believe that He has risen from the dead. conquering death not only for Himself but for all who place their faith in Him. • COPYRIGHT C 2009, THOM MOLLOHAN The sponsors of this church page do so with pride in our community The Problem ofAkrasia The term "akrasia" is a Greek term meaning "Jacking command over oneself.' It is sometimes used in the sense of going against one's better judgement, or the all-too-common occurrence ofknowingthe right thing to do but otherwise failing to do it. Socrates was famous for claiming that the very roncept is illogical; that is. that no one knowingly does wrong. For Socrates, wrongdomg was always a result of ignorance, i.e., not knowing that one is actually harming oneself by doing wrong. Aristotle took a different approach to the problem ofakrasia by makmg it a conflict \\lith our opinions rather than our knowledge. as it ll<as for Socrates. But perhaps the problem lS more complicated than this. Sometimes we act against our better judgement because our own goals are IUldear. Other time~ we do so simply because our desires are too strong to resist. For example. smokers may know that it is in their best interest to quit, and truly want to qutt, yet the cra\·ing for tobacco gets the better of them. Finally, there may be internal conflicts that relate to our inherent character. Often we have competing aims or desires, and one element of our character, perhaps not one of the better aspects of our personality. wins out over the others. despite our knowledge that we should do otherwise. Paul's solution to this problem is to realize that our desire~ come from our bodies while goodness and virtue stem from God's law. I do not understand my own actions. For 1 do not do what 1 want. but I do tile very thing I hate. R.S. V. Romtms 7:15 Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

And it's likely to take at least another year before job losses and foreclosures peak.

Although Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-.\1aliki said an agreement reached last y~ would end U.S. military involvement in Iraq in 20 II, he suggested that agreement could be reconsidered. "Nevertheless, if the Iraqi forces required further ttaining and further support, we shall examine this then at that time, based on the needs of Iraq," al-Maliki told a Washington audience. "I am sure that the prospects and the ... desire of such cooperation is found among both parties," alMaliki said, accordin~ to an interpreter's translntton of his remarks in Arabic. Iraqi and U.S. leaders have repeat6tlly aid the • deadline of Dec. 31. 201 1, will not change. President Burack Obama repeated the commit,ment to leave by that date when al-Maliki visited the White House on Wednesday. The deadline agreement, reached after months of wrangling, mandated the U.S. handover last month of security control of Iraq's cities and said all U.S. forces will quit the country by 2012. Obama has also set a dead Iine of August 2010 to remove U.S. combat forces. meaning that in theory those remaining into 201 I would be trainers, advisers, support personnel and so forth. Privately, many U.S. military officers have said they anticipate a need for that kind of support for Iraq~o; armed forces for several years to come, although it is not clear that Iraq would accept the help. More than 130,000 American troops remain in the country, and many Iraqis arc eager to see them leave . Ah~ad of national elections next year. al-Maliki is portraying himself as the leader who defeated terrorism and ended the U.S. occupation. AI-Maliki declared a national holiday on June 30, the day U.S . forces withdrew from full-time presence in the cities, sa) ing the U.S. departure will "bolster Iraq's security" and show the world that Iraqis can manage their own affairs. On Thursday, al-~laliki said divisions between the Kurds in Iraq's north and the rest of the country are one of the most dangerous challenges facing his country. The Kurdish region is locked in an increasingly bitter dispute with the ccn· tral government over oilrich land.

Welcoming new baby to family helps siblings with transition • he average family in the U.S. has roughly two children, but it may be times are changing. Census data from 1976 indicated that 59 percent of women ages 40 to 44 had three or more children, 20 percent had five or more and 6 percent had seven or more. In 2006, the last available year for census data, 28 percent of women ages 40 to 44 had three or more children, 4 percent had five or more and just 0.5 percent had seven or more. Even though the percentages have lowered over this 30-year span, the media is bringing to the forefront more families who are embracing a bigger-isbetter lifestyle. Just take a look at the range of programming on television. You can find shows about sextuplets and families with 18 children. Additionally, Nadya Suleman, dubbed the "octomom," made headlines when she delivered her octuplets, who joined her family of six other children. Hollywood starlet Angelina Jolie is also a proponent of a happy, larger brood. She and partner Brad Pitt currently have a combination of six adoptive and biological children, and are interested in adopting more. Regardless of personal feelings on larger families, having multiple children changes the family dynamic. Parents should learn strategies on how to introduce and prepare their children for the addition of a new baby. It's not uncommon for youngsters to feel threatened by the arrival of a new sibling. A child may question whether their parents will still love him or her, and whether there will still be time to share together. To address these concerns and more, here are steps to make the expansion of the family go more smoothly. Keep communication flowing: When you decide you're going to inform children you are pregnant, present it in a way that will explain what a new brother or sister will mean to your family. Ask T your children's opinions and answer any concerns they may have. Read books together: There are many titles that address feelings of inadequacy or explain the process of a new baby. These books will be tailored to children's level of awareness and education and can present the concept in terms they'll understand. Explain what is going on in your body: Inquisitive children will want explanations as to why your body is changing. A visit to the obstetrician's office, where there may be charts and diagrams, can help call out the parts of the body. You may have to explain your delicate state and how a baby is growing inside. Provide plenty of reassurance: Tell your other children constantly that you love t em and will still be available for them despite the new baby. Ask for help: Young children often enjoy being Mom or Dad's special helper. Assign baby-related tasks to other children, such as stocking diapers, filling baby bottles, helping to fold baby clothes, CREATIVE CHILDCARE Mid-Valley ChrisLian School Mid.dleporl~ Ohio 4LIL..I:l.5 )lc.>St Rd.

However, recent research indicates that a fan can also play a role in protecting an infant's health. Parents have been well schooled in the ways to prevent Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Infant deaths due to SIDS have been cut in half since the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) introduced its "Back to Sleep" campaign in 1994. Regardless, one infant in every 2,000 live births succumbs to SIDS each year in the U.S., leaving researchers and medical experts - as well as parents looking for further ways to safeguard children. Experts hypothesize that a component of SIDS deaths is air that is laden with carbon dioxide. Placing the child on his or her back ensures that there is less chance of rebreathing the exhaled air. Now studies indicate that parents may want to go one step further. Researchers at Kaiser Permanente examined whether the use of a fan in the room wh_ere_ a baby sleeps can help reduce the mcrdence of SIDS. They questioned mothers of 185 babies in California who died of SIDS and the mothers of 312 randomly selected "control" infants matched by county, race, ethnicity, and age to the first group. Kaiser researchers found that infants who slept in rooms ventilated by fans had a 72 percent lower risk of SIDS compared to infants who slept in bedrooms without fans. Fans seemed to be very effective even for infants in highrisk environments, such as those still sleeping on their stomachs or in overheated rooms (cool, comfortable rooms are also recommended to prevent SIDS). The theory is that fans add extra ventilation that can sweep away stale, expelled air. Ceiling fans may be the best option for circulating the air. While the research seems promising, SIDS experts agree that the fan technique should not be used in lieu of other time-tested strategies for preventing SIDS. A smoke-free environment, a cool room, a bare crib, and a supine position _;f.. Apart from the other time-tested methods for preventing SIDS, parents may want to try circulating the air of baby's room with a ceiling fan, according to new research. for baby are essential. It's also recommended that baby sleep in his or her mother's room until the infant is out of the peak risk zone of 2 to 4 months of age. Parents to babies born during the sum- mer should be especially mindful of keeping the sleeping environment cool, something that can be challenging when temperatures soar and humidity is high. Don't be afraid to use the air conditioning to keep baby comfortable. " Hill Molly Ann Lauren Thorson - 3 yrs.

However, going green doesn't have to begin after the baby is born; making some changes beforehand will benefit you and baby. 1. Start a garden: It's important to eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables during pregnancy. What better place to find those important foods than right in your own backyard? Use all-natural fertilizers and pesticides on your garden to ensure eco-friendly, organic food. If you don't have the space for a garden, shop organic at a local farmer's market. 2. Do some spring cleaning: Go through your cabinets and properly discard of any harsh cleaning chemical products. Replace them with all-natural, biodegradable cleaning products. You'll promote a safer environment in which your child can grow. 3. Bring more plants into the home: The EPA says that indoor air is often more polluted than the outdoor air we breathe. Plants help promote cleaner indoor air by filtering out toxins and purifying your home. Shopping for organic food and clothing for baby is one way to go green during your 4. Investigate cloth diapers and a cleaning service: Cloth diapers that are pregnancy. reused over and over present less of an environmental impact than disposable diapers, say experts. Proponents also say they help children eventually learn to potty train faster because they do not hide the sensation of wetness or soiling as disposable diapers can. Cleaning services can pick up and deliver cloth diapers right to the home. 5. Install a water purifier: Reduce the number of disposable plastic water bottles that need to be recycled or end up in landfills by drinking more tap water. Ensure that the tap water is clean tp your standards by installing a water purifier at home. , 6. Choose organic cotton for baby: Wh,en, you shop for baby clothes and bedding, go with all-natural organic cotton, which will limit the amount of chemicals and pesticides with which your baby will ~ome i,n contact. , , 7. Seek out slightly-used baby gear: Find ou.t if friends or family member$ have any baby gear they can lend to you. Just dqil''t use cribs or -o ther equipment that is several years old, as the safety requirements for these pieces may have changed over the years. Not only will you save money psing recyclt;d items, there be less baby-related trash going to landfills.

Online swap sites, garage sales and friends may be able to prov de all 1 __ _ the clothes you need to make it through the season. Also, if you are buying new, see if you can find some "regular" clothing that is roomy enough to accommodate your growing belly. Maternity clothes tend to be expensive. So if you can make due with a standard clothing line, you'll save. Remember to donate the clothes after you're done with them. 9. Use no-VOC paint in the nursery: Many paint manufacturers now offer noVOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) paint, w1lich doesn't release toxins and fumes into the air. 10. Invest in a quality stroller and baby carrier: Walking is great e~ercise to get you back to your pre-baby weight and also is more eco-friendly than taking the car from here to there. Fresh air can also calm a fussy baby. 11. If possible, breastfeed: Breastfeeding reduces the dependence upon baby formula and the excess packaging that goes with these products.

Some children's birthday partie.snow rival weddings in scale and cost, with elaborate cakes tipping the scales at $2,000 or more. But what to do if you're more of a do-it-yourself mom or dad, or simply do not have the budget for an ostentatious affair? Children's parties are more about making memories than how much money is spent. And chances are you can pull together an event that will be memorable and fun. C 1. Start with a theme A theme is the foundation upon which all of the other components of the party will be built. Because it is the common factor, it will help make purchasing favors, deciding upon colors and selecting games that much easier. Involve your child in the process. Figure out what he or she enjoys the most and go with that theme. "My son absolutely loves SpongeBob Squarepants," says Marie, mom to a 4year-old. "So it was a no-brainer for me what theme to use for his birthday party. From a 'Pin the Pants on SpongeBob' game to yellow favor bags, it was easy to work within the theme." 2. Select the venue Hosting the party at home is often the least expensive option, but one that will require the most clean-up. If you have a fmished basement or a big backyard, you have a versatile space for the party. Party centers may offer maximum convenience in terms of supplies, events and clean-up, however, they will likely be the most costly options per head. 3. Decide on the guest list It's understandable to want to invite every friend and family member to a children's birthday party. However, due to space and budget constraints, this isn't often possible. One rule of courtesy to follow is that if you invite at least half of your child's school class to the party, you should respectfully invite them all in this case so no one feels left out. It's also perfectly acceptable to limit the party invites to family members with children in the same age bracket. Singletons or aunts and uncles will have to wait for another event for which to visit. 4. Time the party for the age group Younger children who get antsy later in the day when it may be nap time could benefit from an early party, while older children may want a late-afternoon party, which could work to your advantage since you won't have to provide a meal. Also, time the party so that you give guests ample time to arrive, enjoy themselves and be on their merry way without feeling rushed or bored. For the youngest children (ages 1, 2 or 3), a rule of thumb is not to have the length of the party exceed their Food and fun are key components to a children's birthday party. age otherwise you could have meltdowns and temper tantrums on your hand from tired children. 5. Food and fun are essential 6. Take the cake The popularity of documentary cake-baking shows on television could lead to cake anxiety for party throwers. It's nice to have a visually perfect cake that guests can ooh and aah over, but it's not a necessity. A home-baked cake or a sheet c. purchased from a store can be an affordable option. Use toys or your own decor ing savvy to make the design of the cake fit in with your theme with minimal fp.ss. For an even easier time of it, individual cupcakes eliminate the need to stand, slice and serve cake to all of the guests. Guests attend parties for the enjoyment factor and what food will be served. Certain games are tried and true birthday classics (musical chairs, etc.). However, use your imagination to fit games to the theme of your party. A superhero themed party, for example, may feature an obstacle course where the villains must go up against a team of heroes. Or base your festivities on the time of year. Summer backyard parties can have plenty of wet water fun by way of sprinklers and slippery slides. Just be sure to indicate the type of activities on the invitations so that gusts can dress accordingly. In terms of food, pizza is definitely the ultimate standby in terms of party fare. Enable guests to take away something from the p~rty. Scour discount stores, However, changing up the menu to other finger foods, such as chicken nuggets, small sandwiches, or make-your-own creations can add something different to your online bulk retailers and more for inexpensive finds.

When children arrive they bring many blessings - and also a lot of stuff - into your life. What starts out as baby bottles, diapers and playmats quickly transforms into toys, toys and more toys. Every birthday, holiday and special event seems a ripe occasion for doting relatives and friends to bestow another toy upon your darling boy or girl. Very quickly your house can become overrun with kiddie clutter. Parenting involves making wise choices for your children, and one of the important ones you can make involves teaching them about responsibility and maintaining their personal property. Involving them in the organization and sorting of toys can be a worthy lesson. So how do you take back your house from the legion of toys setting up roosts in every corner? Here are a few organizational tips that can help. • Create an area of the home that can be a kids' play area. If there isn't space in a basement or a spare room, the child's bedroom will have to suffice. • Purchase storage solutions according to the child's age. Younger children will benefit from several open bins that are easy to reach. Older .uHU<'-·11 can use under-the-bed storage, drawers, ' and hooks. toys. This can create an overwhelming mess for a child and they will be less likely to want to play with their toys. Instead, consider smaller bins that can separate toys according to themes, such as action figures, dolls, blocks, and cars. • Low-level bookcases attached under a window or in another cozy location can store books, magazines and coloring books in an organized fashion. • Keep a basket handy in another area of the house to gather up the toys that inadvertently will spill over to the living room, kitchen or car. It can be a great chore to have your child take those toys back to the play area and put them away. • Build a maintenance routine into your child's day. Just as an adult can get overwhelmed by clutter, so can a child. He or she starts with a clean room, plays and then fmds stuff everywhere. Have a twice daily "clean-up" routine. In the morning your child can straighten the bed, put dirty clothes in the hamper, and neaten up his or her room. In the evening he or she can put away toys and get the room ready for the next day of play. • Go label happy. Labeling, especially labels with images and words, help children learn where things belong. Stick labels on toy bins, inside of drawers where socks and underwear are stored, etc. Controlling kiddie clutter can make for a happier and more organized household. • Page 7 Raising a beachside bather Heading to the beach with an infant or toddler in tow?

Just into the game as a defensive replacement, Wise robbed Gabe Kapler of a leadoff home run in the ninth inning and Buehrle coolly closed out a 5-0 victory Thursday over the Tampa Bay Rays. Wise took over in center field from Scott Podsednik, who shifted to left. With the count 2-2, Kapler hit a drive to deep left-center. Wise sprinted, jumped and got his glove about a foot above the 8-foot fence to rob Kaple:r of a home run. The ball almost came out when Wise caromed off the fence, stumbled, fell to the ground and rolled. But he steadied it with his chest and bare left hand and bounced right up. proudly displaying the ball for the crowd.

''I was with the Braves in . '04 and I was there when Randy Johnson of the Diamondbacks pitched a perfect game. So I've been on both sides of it." he said. "It was probably the best catch I've ever made because of the circumstances. ''It was kind of crazy, man. because when I jumped, the ball hit my glove at the same time I was hitting the wall.

SEC dealing with preseason hype HOOVER. Ala. (AP) Florida is an overwhelming favorite to repeat as Southeastern Conference and national champions with quarterback Tim Tebow back under center. Alabama has Julio Jones, Rolando McClain and no chance to sneak up on anybody again. Ditto for Jevan Snead and Mississippi. Georgia coach Mark Richt knows firsthand the challenges the Uators face living up to all the summertime hype. His Bulldogs were the preseason No. 1 pick last year. "It's really pretty simple," Richt said. "You've just got to stay focused on the things that will help you win and try to avoid all the other stuff, which is very difficult to do because there's a constant barrage of people wanting to talk about it.'' But the distractions that Georgia faced hardly rival the kind of hoopla surr~und- ing Florida. Judging by the preseason football magazines and the national buzz, everyone else is just playing out the season for the right to face Florida for the BCS national championship. Coach Urban Meyer, however, isn't waiting for the fall to take the onc~wcek-at­ a-time approach. "I want to get through these next two weeks,'' Meyer said Thursday at the SEC's med1a days. "We go real hard for a week. then they have a week off and we start (preseason) camp. I don't look Jl1Uch past that." But. he added, the primary ambition is to make it to the SEC championship game. It has been a launching pad for ,two national titles in the past three seasons. "We wake up every moming to a~hieve that goal." Meyer sa1d.

Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said before the game he planned to snag a keepsake bobblehead for himself, adding that Ramirez has been kind to his 10-year-old son. Manny gets pinch-hit grand slam as Dodgers sweep Cincinnati LOS ANGELES (AP) Manny Ramirez unleashed his pent-up power in one electrifying swing that landed, fittingly, in Mannywood. Ramirez's tie-hreaking pinch-hit grand slam in the sixth inning on his bobblehead night Wednesday sent the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-2 victory over Cincinnati, their 12th consecutive at home against the Reds. "It's crazy." he said. He was kept out of the starting lineup for precautionary reasons with a sore left hand after being hit by a pitch a night earlier. "Just the way he was sort of stalking around the dugout. I could feel something would happen if he had the opportunity," Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. Did it ever. It was Ramirez's grandest moment since returning July 3 from a 50-game suspension for violating baseball's drug rules. He's batting .347 with four homers and 17 RBI in 16 games since coming back. ''I guess Manny's hand wasn't as bad as we thought," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "It doesn't get more dramatic than that - a grand slam on your own · bobblehead night. That's the stuff that I'd seen out of Barry Bonds and Hank Aaron." Ramirez said his hand felt good. but that he planned to ice it after the game. Fans at the sold-,Qut game chanted ''Manny! Manny!" as they saw him in the dugout putting on his batting helmet. The anticipation built as the Reds changed pitchers. Without a single practice swing, Ramirez sent the first pitch from reliever Nick Masset into the Mannywood section of lower left field seats for his 2 I st career grand slam, giving Los Angeles a 6-2 lead and putting the crowd into a frenzy. ''It reminded me how loud it got when we hit those four (consecutive) homers against San Diego," catcher Russell Martin said. referring to a dramatic Dodgers win in 10 innings against San Diego in 2006. It moved Ramirez into second on the career grand slam list, trailing only Lou Gehrig's 23. It was his first grand slam since 2005. "It was one of the best moments in my career," he said. "I'm just glad it happened in LA." Ramirez had never seen Masset pitch before. let alone heard of him. "That's pretty much the area I wanted to put the ball. It just didn't sink the way it normally does." Masset said. "I was just trying to jam him, get a ground ball and get out of the inning. I was basically trying to go at him with my best stuff and it didn't work out." Teammates shoved Ramirez onto the top step of the dugout, where he waved his cap to acknowledge a standing ovation for his 11th homer of the season and his first career pinch-hit homer. "He's the magic man," Martin said. It was Ramirez's first homer into the "Mannywood'' section, which was resurrected after his suspension ended. Ramirez's exhilarating moment was the only souvenir for 6.000 fans who went home without a bobblehead, which were limited to the first 50,000. '.'1 was just trying to get a good pitch to hit," said Ramirez, who arrived at his locker and peeled off his Dodgers shirt and white pants to reveal street clothes. "Now can I go 'home?" he said. drawing laughter. The Dodgers set the stage for Ramirez's heroics with one out in the sixth. Bronson Arroyo (10-9) walked James Loney and Matt Kemp, then Martin singled hard to left to load the bases. Arroyo gave way to Masset. who warmed up as the crowd got worked up in anticipation of Ramirez's at-bat. "I'm running around the open. all the way to four, five, stx, whatever it is, we're all fighting for it." Minnesota forward Kevin Love said. "We all love the competition." The core players on the U.S. team that won the Olympic gold medal last summer in Beijing have told USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo they are interested in playing next year in Turkey and in the 2012 Olympics in London.

Pitch perfect: President congratulates Buehrle Few spots open, but US players say camp worth it LAS VEGAS (AP) More than 20 players agreed to come to USA Basketball's minicamp this week, and most of them will be home next summer when it's time to play games.

He had a 1.47 ERA in 68 games when the Indians made the playoffs in 2007. "These things can happen. You never kno~ when it's going to happen," Betancourt said. "I have to go there for the last two and a half months and help that team win.'' The 34-year-old has been the Indians· most consistent reliever for the past month. The Indtans held a $5 million club Option for him in 20 10 and did not want to pick it up. "Looking at the market thts season and next, we don't see $5 million as the rio-ht price for that kind of rofe in the · bullpen,'' Indians general manager Mark Shapiro said. You need to have your replacements ready to go." Colangelo and U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski met with the players Wednesday night. telling them to play hard and show them who wanted to be a part of the program. That may not do many of the players good next summer, but will give them a head start toward competing in future events. Kevin Durant. who nearly made the U.S. team that played in the 2007 Olympic qualifier and often appeared to be the best player on the floor Thursday. seems assured of any roster spot that opens up. It's also a chance for Oden to finally mipress the USA Basketball leaders who invited him to play in 2006 and '07, only to see him pull out with a variety of injuries.

While the stage was mostly nat, riders had to contend with the Bluffy pass climb, which snaked upward for more than two miles with magnificent vistas over the hill-ringed lake. Several riders, including British time-trial specialist David Millar, said the layout favored climbers because of that ascent. ··1 felt like I had stopped dead in my tracks," Millar said.

The Vikings signed Winfield to a five-year deal that includes $16 million in guaranteed money on Thursday. ~ Vikings sign Winfield ·to 5-year extension ~ EDEN PRAIRIE. Minn. ., (AP) - Antoine Winfield watched last seass>n as veterans Darren Sharper and Matt Birk played out the final year of their contracts and then left Minnesota without extensions. He wondered if he was next. The Vikings answered emphatically on Thursday, signing the Pro Bowl cornerback to a five-year deal that includes $16 million in guaranteed money. "It feels great," Winfield said. "I've got no worries. I'm excited." Winfield was heading into the final year of his contract and the sometimes contentious negotiations broke off at one point during the summer. It was starting to look a lot like the experiences of Sharper, who left to sign with the New Orleans Saints. and Birk. who declined an offer from the Vikings to head to Baltimore. Winfield skipped the team's optional workouts this summer. He also missed - a mandatory minicamp in -June. The problem, according to • . Winfield's agent, was the • uniqueness of this deal. Winfield is 32 years old and heading into his 11th season in the NFL. which is typically the beginning of the end .• of a career for a cornerback. ''We just had a tough time putting this thing together because we didn't have anything to go by," Ashanti Webb said. Webb looked all the way back to negotiations between the Washington Redskins and Darrell Green, the ageless defensive back , who played at a high lev~l for 20 seasons. He used that • to build a framework for the deal. " It was never a situation where they didn't want to do it or we didn't want to do it," · Webb said. "It really was unprecedented." Winrield is coming off one of his best seasons as a pro. He had 95 tackles, four forced fumbles. two interceptions and two sacks last season to help the Vikings to the NFC North title and earn his first Pro Bowl nomination. Despite putting his body through plenty of punishment as one of the hardest hitting, cornerbacks in the NFL, the 5-foot-9 Winfield says he has plenty of football left in him with training camp beginning next week. "I feel great." Winfield said. 'Tve been working out down in Houston the last six weeks. I have no injuries. a clear mind. I've been playing this garnet a long time and I have a lot left in me.'' Winfield already is a rarity in one respect. The Vikings signed him away from Buffalo in 2004. and he has been more productive with each successive season. The new deal allows the Vikings to keep a valued leader in the locker room and one of the most physical cornerbacks in the league while also allowing Winfield to stay in a place, and a defense. where he has flourished. · "That was the goal," Winfield said. 'Tve been here since '04. I'm very comfortable with my teammates, the coaches, the city. It gives me an opportunity to win a championship.'' If Winfield completes the new deal, whieh runs through 2013, he could earn as much as $36 million if he retains hts starting position and reaches certain incentives. With the deal done. Winfield can concentrate on going after the title that has eluded him for 10 years. The Vikings lost in the first round of the playoffs to Philadelphia last season, but Winfield said they expect to contend for the NFC crown this year. "We have all the pieces in place," Winfield said. "We have no excuses." PITTSBURGH (AP) his attorney. David Pittsburgh Steelers quarter- Cornwell.

"The v1ct1m is the only one? who ~an do that," Duffy told The Associated Press. "Unless there was a third party that actually witnessed the incident which. according to the civil case, was not the case here."

The suit doesn't say whether tht! woman is still working for HaiTah's. The suit also alleges hotel officials for Harrah's Lake Tahoe \vent to ~rent lengths to cover up the mcident. The lawsuit says the woman required hospitalization for treatment for depression after the alleged attack. Earlier this week. Cornwell issued a statement on Roethlisberger's behalf saying. "Ben has never sexually assaulted anyone. The timing of the lawsuit and the absence of a criminal co. plaint and a criminal inves gation are the most compelling evidence of the absence of any criminal conduct.'' FRIDAV:'·.TEL·E\0ISIO~·~.

AP) Michael Vick's lawyer vehemently denied reports Thursday that the suspended NFL star spent his first night of freedom from federal cus- tody at a Virginia Beach strip club. "It is absolutely, categorically false," Lawrence Woodward told The ·Associated Press. An Internet blog reported - that Vick was seen at the strip club Atlantis on Monday night, hours after he completed his 23-month sentence for operating a . dogfighting ring. Woodward said Vick was not in Virginia - Beach that night and has not been to any strip club. ''He has been spending ",. time with his family and friends and working with his :· advisers on legal matters • and trying to get back to playing football," Woodward said. Vick also denied the reports in an interview with the Daily Press of Newport News. "That's crazy;' he told his hometown newspaper. "That is the last place on my mind I was out of town. I guess it's just someone trying to be hurtful." Vick, 29. is expected to meet soon with NFL commissioner Roger GooJell in hopes of getting his suspension lifted. Goodell has said Vick needs to show genuine remorse and that he has changed. The commissioner said Tuesday that he hoped to make a decision ·'in the near future.'' NFL training camps open for veterans next week. The blog thebiglead .com. which some newspapers referenced on their Web sites, quoted a OJ who refused to be identified as saying Viek was at Atlantis with NBA free agent Allen Iverson. Leon Rose, Iverson's .agent, said the basketball star hasn't seen Vick since the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback's release from prison. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _..__..-.i..o....__ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ __ - - - - - - --·--- - �Friday, July 24, 2009 The Daily Sentinel • Page 85 www.mydailysentinel.com \!tribune - Sentinel - l\egi~ter CLASSIFIED In One Week With Us m<itclassified~::y~i!ilytriblme.com REACH 0 VER 285,000 PROSPECTS ELUS YOUB AD NOW OHLINE Sentinel \!tribune To Place Your Ad, or Fax To (740) 446-3008 or Fax To (740) 992-2157 Word Ads Monday thru Friday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. • · Successful Ads Should Include These Items To Help Get Response ...

Goodyear has devoted considerable effort into developing tires that will be durable enough to last more than 12 laps or so. Racing the generic cars on this huge, but tight, oval has proved diff~ cult. ~ Though many fans brand the racing boring, Indy is undeniably. a great test of driver ability. .,. The Allstate 400 is also quite a predictor of championships. The -race winner has gone on to win the '".championship seven times. Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon each have pulled off the feat twice. ~ Dale Earnhardt Jr. could win five of the remaining seven regular· season races and still not make the Chase.

Last race: The only driver with four victones th1s year is·Mark Martin, and it's because he's got more sense than all the drivers he's rae· ing. Martin had a dominant car, but this was the second time (Michigan being the other) he's won because he kept a cooler head than those in front of him. Oddly enough, both races had the word "Lifelock" in the title. In the LifeLock 400 at Michigan, Martin resisted the temptation to speed up while two oth· ers, Jimmie Johnson a1d Greg Bif· fie, couldn't. They ran out of gas. In the Lifelock.com 400 at Chicagoland Speedway, Martin watched Denny Hamlin and Brian Vickers tangle m front of him. He seized the advantage and never looked back. By every possible measure, this victory was richly deserved. Jeff Gordon finished sec· ond, but his gains were minimal as Sprint Cup points leader Tony Stew· art finished fourth behind Kasey Kahne. The plot of races on inter· mediate tracks is unerring. After a flurry of early activiity, everything settles down for the next two hours. with most pas~es made in pit sequences. Then. near the end, caution flags start flying. All the calm of two hours evaporates, and everyone starts beating and bang· mg.

Box 1538 Gastonia, N.C. 28053 No "rodents" and Hoosiers coming through John Clark/ NASCAR This Week Kyle Busch has won six Nationwide Series races and three at the Sprint Cup level this season, but he's far from a lock to be one of 12 driv· ers to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Busch is currently 10th overallln the standings, but only leads 13th-place Greg Biffle by 13 points.. Hot-starting Busch has faltered in re~ent weeks By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week Kyle Busch's Nationwide Series victory at Gateway International Raceway was his sixth of the. season. Three times he has won at the Sprint Cup level. Busch has also won two of his seven Camping World Truck Series starts to date. At age 24, Busch has won more races, by far, than anyone else in NASCAR during the past two seasons. Yet Busch maintains a precarious position in the Sprint Cup points standings with seven races remaining in the regular season. Twelve drivers will ad- vance to the Chase for the Sprint Cup. Busch currently ranks 1Qtli, and his edge over 13th.place Greg Biffle is only 13 points. In the first 19 races, even though he has won three times, Busch has finished in the top five only four times and six times in the top 10. By comparison, the points leader, Tony Stewart, has 15 top-10 finishes. "Results side of it, I think we've been a big failure," said Busch. "We're struggling here to make ourselves comfortable for the Chase. "Last year was a great year. It just seemed like everything fell into place. It was easy: easy to run up front, easy to win races. It just felt weird because it was just too easy." Busch began the 2008 Chase as the favorite. He had won eight times during the first 26 races. In the Chase, Busch opened with finishes of 34th, 43rd. and 28th, leaving his champi· onship hopes in ruin. He wound up lOth. Perhaps this year Busch, from Las Vegas, can get hot at the right time. "Through the year, the regular 26 races (in 2008), everything was just easy," he said. "This year has been a struggle. Everything has been so hard. It's just so hard to gain any track position. It's hard to finish a race in the top five, let alone even in the top 10." Dear NASCAR This Week, What a relief to watch the Pocono race free of the ·rodent's view." with no need to pump it up to retain our attention and camera shots that actually included more than the front three cars.
