In Columbia County, 1,259 resi-dents have registered with FEMA, said Harvey Campbell. county information officer.

Residents in 22 counties across the state are eligible for assistance.

Of the $16.3 million approved state-wide, $14.5 million was for housing or rental assistance grants and $1.8 million was to replace lost essential possessions, Waggoner said.

Statewide, 11,773 people have contacted FEMA to register or ask questions, she said.

Jim Morris, Florida Gateway College’s librarian of more than 20 years, passed away late Wednesday.

Morris, executive director of library and community services, lost a 9-month battle with pancre-atic cancer.

The loss of Morris is difficult to accept, said FGC President Chuck Hall.

“As President of Florida Gateway College, I knew Jim for fifteen years, and saw first-hand his com-mitment to provide our students and the community with excellent learning resources, his leadership experience inspired those around him, and he was always looking for ways to improve services for our students and faculty, both on campus and throughout the whole service area,” Hall said.

“Jim was an inspiration to those

around him and he will truly be missed. I am proud to call him both a colleague and friend,” Hall said.

Morris began his career at FGC

in 1989 as the community educa-tion director and spent 37 years of his life as a librarian.

Earlier this year, Morris was named the Florida Library Association’s 2012 Librarian of the Year, in part, for his efforts and

leadership of the Task Force on the Future of Academic Libraries in Florida for several years.

He was also nominated for his work overseeing the construction of the new Wilson S. Rivers Library and Media Center at FGC.

In a March interview in the Lake City Reporter, Morris said the award came as a complete surprise. “This has been a great career,” he said. “We make people happy every day.”

HOLIDAY — The body of a 2-year-old boy was found in a pond near his home hours after he went missing.

Pasco County Sheriff’s deputies say Trent Sailers was last seen about 3 p.m. on Wednesday at his home in Holiday.

Sheriff’s spokesman Kevin Doll says the child was reported missing at 5:57 p.m. and crews searched the neighborhood for the boy. He was wearing only a diaper went he went missing.

The Tampa Bay Times reports the boy’s body was found just before 9 p.m. in a small pond across the street from his home.

An autopsy was planned to determine the cause of death. An investigation con-tinues.

No further details were immediately available.

FSU stops players from tweeting

TALLAHASSEE — Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher has told his players they can’t use their Twitter accounts for the rest of the year.

Fisher’s move came after some players tweeted objectionable material on their Twitter sites in recent weeks, including one that quoted rap lyrics about killing police officers. The third-year Seminole coach wants his players to be as focused as possible and believes that social media can be a distraction, espe-cially during the season.

Many players shut down their participation on Twitter last year after an early three-game los-ing streak wiped out their championship hopes.

Florida State is a run-away preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference this year behind fifth-year senior quarterback EJ Manuel and a veteran defensive unit that ranked among the nation’s best last season.

Ex-police chief wore FBI wire

MIAMI — Miami’s for-mer police chief wore an FBI wire to record conver-sations with city officials to investigate whether a proposed contract buyout might be a crime.

Ultimately the FBI and Miami-Dade County pros-ecutors determined that no violation occurred in discus-sions about giving former Chief Miguel Exposito a $400,000 severance pack-age. The discussions involved Mayor Thomas Regalado, the former city manager and others in 2011.

A closeout memo from prosecutors said Exposito believed the buyout could be an attempt to bribe him into stepping down. Exposito and Regalado had clashed publicly over the legality of video gaming machines and Exposito also was criticized for police shootings of seven black men and boys.

The buyout never hap-pened and Exposito was fired by the city commission in September 2011. He is appealing that termination.

Ed task force ’brainstorming’

ST. PETERSBURG — Gov. Rick Scott’s Florida Blue Ribbon Task Force on State Higher Education

Reform is in its “brainstorm-ing” stage.

The panel met Thursday at St. Petersburg College to continue seeking com-ment from business people, parents, students, faculty members, administrators and others. The agenda included a session on “brainstorming” and evalu-ating recommendations.

Scott has made job cre-ation the centerpiece of his administration. He appoint-ed the task force to propose ways for making Florida’s colleges and universities more efficient, transparent and accountable.

The panel is about half-way through its task. It is scheduled to present final recommendations to Scott on Oct. 30.

The Republican governor has been at odds with uni-versity officials and faculty on several key issues includ-ing tuition, course offerings and tenure.

Man shoots door-to-door salesman

CAPE CORAL — Authorities say a man fatally shot a door-to-door sales-man in a southwest Florida neighborhood.

The shooting happened Wednesday afternoon as 30-year-old Nicholas Rainey was selling frozen lobster tails and steaks. Cape Coral police arrested 52-year-old Kenneth Bailey Roop. He’s facing second-degree mur-der charges.

The Fort Myers News-Press reports neighbor Gene Snyder heard the gunshots and went to help the victim, who was on the ground in front of the home.

NEW YORK — Jerry Seinfeld is bringing back his live stand-up comedy to New York City — the place he says he learned to be funny.

It will be the first time he’ll present full live come-dy performances in the city since his 1998 Broadway show, “I’m Telling You for the Last Time.”

There will be one per-formance in each of the five boroughs on Thursday nights in October and November.

Seinfeld says: “I was born in Brooklyn, went to school in Queens and started out as a comedian in Manhattan. I feel like New York City taught me how to be funny.”

The first performance is at Manhattan’s Beacon Theater on Oct. 4.

Each show will feature Colin Quinn. Seinfeld direct-ed him in the Broadway show “Colin Quinn: Long Story Short.”

Brand gets community service

NEW ORLEANS — Actor and comedian Russell Brand must perform 20 hours of community service and pay a $500 court fee to resolve a misdemeanor charge over a confrontation with a photographer in New Orleans, where he was film-ing a movie in March.

Brand wasn’t in a New Orleans courtroom Thursday when his attor-ney, Robert Glass, entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf to a charge of simple crimi-nal damage to property. The charge carries a maximum sentence of six months in jail.

Brand turned himself in to police three days after his encounter with a man try-ing to take his picture with a phone. Police said Brand grabbed the phone and threw it at a building, break-ing a window.

“He’s a good guy,” Glass said. “He was harassed.”

A deal with the district attorney’s office calls for the case to be dismissed if the actor completes the service requirement by Aug. 31, Glass said.

“You’ll return with proof that Mr. Brand completed the community service?” Municipal Court Judge Sean Early asked.

“Correct,” Glass respond-ed.

Glass said Brand may ful-fill the requirement through his charitable work with people suffering from addic-tions.

“Some of it may be abroad in England. Some of it may be in California,” Glass said.

Brand’s publicists didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

In a Twitter posting after the incident, Brand wrote, “Since Steve Jobs died I can-not bear to see anyone use an iphone irreverently, what I did was a tribute to his memory.”

Brand’s film credits include “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Get Him to the Greek.” He has a late-night show on FX called “Brand X with Russell Brand.”

A judge granted him a divorce from singer Katy Perry in February.

Wallenda grandson to perform

BUTTE, Mont. — A grandson of famous tight-rope walker Karl Wallenda is performing in Montana this weekend during the 11th Evel Knievel Days.

Rick Wallenda told The Montana Standard he has always been a fan of the famous motorcycle dare-devil from Butte and agreed to perform even before organizers said how much the event would pay.

Rick Wallenda plans to walk on a 250-foot-long wire cable about 50 feet off the ground.

The 57-year-old from Sarasota, Fla., said Wednesday he plans to use a heavier pole because of the wind.

Tightrope walking has been passed down gen-eration to generation in Wallenda’s family, starting with his grandfather. His mother, Carla, continues to do a high-wire act at age 76.

of the College Center for Librar y Automation’s Advisory Board and Executive Committee, and past chair of the Northeast Florida Librarian Information Network.

Morris was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late 2011. Even as the che-motherapy and radiation treatments made it diffi-cult for him to continue his day-to-day duties at the col-lege, Morris continued to work and spent what time he could growing the new library.

In March, Morris said he wanted the community to feel welcome and com-fortable in the new library. “I want to be around a while to see this library grow and become a vital part of the community,” he said.

He leaves behind his wife, Patty, who he married inside the former college

library in 2008, and two daughters – Chani Claire and India Jade.

The funeral services will be conducted Tuesday, July 31, at 2 p.m. at Guerry Funeral Home. Visitation will be Monday evening, July 30, from 6-8 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested dona-

tions to The Foundation for Florida Gateway College for the Jim Morris Scholarship Fund.

Troy Roberts, FGC public information coordinator, contributed to this article.

“With the deadline approaching, it’s imperative that people register today,” Waggoner said. “Take the time and call now.”

If a determination letter from FEMA doesn’t grant money, read the letter throughly, she said.

Flood victims have the right to appeal decisions, she said. Sometimes miss-ing a small piece of information from an application, such as proof of primary resi-dence, may cause FEMA to deny money.

Flood victims can seek help in applying and appealing at the Disaster Recovery Center or over the phone.

FEMA’s emphasis is on victims’ imme-diate needs and preventing further dam-age, providing victims up to $31,400.

While FEMA works as a clearinghouse for disaster relief applications, the SBA is the primary source for long-term recov-ery money, said Carl Sherrill, SBA public affairs specialist.

SBA can provide affordable, low-inter-est loans to homeowners, renters and non-farm businesses of all sizes. After registering with FEMA, flood victims will receive a fairly simple application from the SBA, he said.

Some homeowners may think because

it is the SBA they do not qualify for aid, but do not throw away the application, Sherrill said.

Homeowners may be eligible for loans of up to $200,000 to repair or replace their disaster damaged real estate, plus up to $40,000 to repair or replace personal property.

Also, by filling out the SBA application, homeowners and renters may receive additional grants from FEMA, he said. SBA can refinance mortgages or issue loans for relocation too.

SBA loans work in conjunction with other federal aid and insurance settle-

ments, by loaning money for uncompen-sated loss or for projects to protect the property against future flooding, Sherrill said.

Flood victims can register with FEMA online at www.disasterassistance.gov, by web enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov or by calling 1-800-621-FEMA(3362).

Victims can also apply in person, or ask questions, at the Disaster Recovery Center, 484 S.W. Commerce Drive in Lake City. FEMA and SBA officials staff the center, which is open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.

O N EO P I N I O N

I was a fourth grader in a small town in the south. One day, riding my bike past the library, their trashcans were

out on the street to be picked up. I noticed that one of the cans was full of books being thrown out. Curiously check-ing them out, I was drawn to several books: a college physics book, The Story of Force and Motion, (Collier, Popular Science Library, Garrett Serviss et al, New York, 1941), a college astron-omy textbook, Introduction to Astronomy (Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, Prentice Hall, New York 1955), and The Story of Civilization VII, by Will and Ariel Durant, Simon & Schuster, New York, 1961.

Who would ever think to recommend advanced books like these for a 4th grader? A teacher or librarian probably wouldn’t have recommended them. But somehow I felt they were here for me. I carried them home, and spent the next several months poring through them, stretching my 10-year-old brain to understand this college level material. I still have these books today in my library, 58 years later. They helped me understand my world, the uni-verse, and all the people in it. These books became an impor-tant influence in my life.

I’ve come to believe that so many of life’s experiences are really opportunities to learn and grow from, and help you develop into the wonderful

person you were meant to be. We can learn a lot from our mis-takes, or when we get ourselves into trouble. My years spent as a Boy Scout and an Explorer Scout helped me develop some good character traits. A move clear across the country when I was a teenager, when teens are developing an identity of who they are and what they want to be, was very disruptive, prob-lematic, and very challenging. I had great experiences playing on the football team and the swimming team, and learned teamwork, cooperation, and how to get along with people. Young love and breaking up helped me learn to appreci-ate and respect those we care about, and the importance of kindness and fairness. The joy, pain, and challenges of making friends and having brutal fights over conflicts had many lessons for me. The psychology and philosophy I got from the books I found sparked an interest that led me to a long and satisfy-ing career counseling troubled youth and families. Death of people close to me pointed out how much others meant to me,

the pain from loss, and how to grieve and move on with life.

Getting older has pointed out to me that life offers us so many powerful experiences, and chances to learn and grow, develop character, and become all that we can be. The trick is to recognize them when they happen in our lives, and search for the opportunities they provide. Life may deliver some hard punches, kicks in the teeth, but we can find some-thing good in most everything that comes our way. When one door closes, another door opens. Some things to ask yourself:

How can I use this experience as a way to find an opportunity to develop myself into that won-derful person I was meant to be?

How do I choose to respond to this thing that has happened to me?

How can I make the most of what I’ve got to work with, to play the hand I’ve been dealt?

Dig deep. Try hard to find how you can turn hard times, tragedies, surprises, and what-ever happens, into challenges for you to use to do what’s right for you. Know that there’s a stronger, better you, that has just been waiting for the oppor-tunity. n Bob Denny is a licensed

I have been asked by a number of people why I did not speak at the candidate rally at the Lake City Shrine Club on July 17th. An issue had been raised after the Ft. White rally regarding the State Attorney race that required the Columbia County Republican Committee to make that deci-sion. In his telephone call to me, Committee Chairman Buddy Hines was very gracious and pro-

vided me with an explanation of the problem. I accept and respect his explanation and the reasoning for their decision.

I want everyone to know that the local committee members have been very good to me and I have received word that I will be allowed to speak at the upcoming rallies. I thank Chairman Hines and those who helped to accom-plish this.

I also thank everyone for their support and concern, but please do not be mad at local committee members. Many of them are my personal friends and I can honestly say they are good people. Let’s put this mat-ter behind us.

The United Nations‘ drive to gain control of the international arms trade is a mixed bag. The bad

news is that it has the poten-tial to infringe on the legitimate rights of American gun owners. The good news is that the treaty drafting process has been so dys-functional that whatever emerges has little chance of getting through the U.S. Senate.

The proposed United Nations Arms Transfer Treaty seeks to establish “common international standards for the import, export and transfer” of the billions of dollars of conventional arms traded annually. It would regulate tanks, military vehicles, combat aircraft, warships and missiles.

Gun owners are right to be wary. The Constitution’s inter-state Commerce Clause has been stretched to include all manner of trade that it was not originally intended to cover, and the same logic could be used regarding international commerce.

Another concern is the current fad in liberal legal circles to read international laws, norms and standards into American juris-prudence. A treaty that estab-lishes a framework for limiting, monitoring and reporting arms transfers — which the proposed arms treaty does — could well be applied to U.S. case law by judges enamored with the notion that international agreements somehow reflect a higher state of legal evolution than a musty old document like the Constitution.

Fortunately, the treaty likely won’t get that far. Its drafting committee released the latest language on Tuesday, and it has been watered down significantly.

The draft treaty must also be reviewed, debated, amended and voted on by today — a difficult task in itself. If the U.N. manages this, President Obama would have to sign it, which the White House seems poised to do. The treaty wouldn’t be binding on the United States until approved by two-thirds of the Senate. Given the amount of domestic opposi-tion, that’s unlikely.

The unintended, con-voluted and costly consequences of President Barack Obama’s signature

health care law are about to be realized. Obamacare was rushed through Congress in 2010 despite almost no one knowing what the 2,700-page law pro-vided, apart from a vague prom-ise to make health care more affordable and accessible.

This week, the Congressional Budget Office said that, because the U.S. Supreme Court, in rul-ing last month to validate most of the Affordable Care Act, allowed states to opt out of the law’s expansion of Medicaid, about 3 million fewer people will end up insured than originally estimated. This is guesswork because the CBO admits no one knows how many states will opt out. We believe many, if not all, states controlled by Republican legislatures and governors will opt out.

That news arrived about the same time a study was released showing about one in 10 U.S. employers plan to drop health coverage for workers in the next few years as Obamacare’s provi-sions go into effect. The consult-ing company Deloitte found 9 percent of companies expect to stop offering coverage, and another 10 percent are uncer-tain they will continue. Last year another firm, McKinsey & Co., said up to 30 percent of employ-ers would “definitely or prob-ably” stop offering insurance after 2014.

Obamacare’s perverse disin-centives make it less costly for companies to pay fines for not providing health insurance than to pay health insurance premi-ums.

The bottom line? The new health care law already is on the road to providing fewer Americans health insurance coverage than promised despite a vast expansion of Medicaid, the federal health insurance program for the poor, into the middle class, on top of giving employers incentives to drop coverage for their workers.

This combination is a far cry from making health care more affordable and accessible.

There is, according to the budget office, a silver lining. Federal spending may be reduced $84 billion compared with original projections as tax-payers will be paying to insure 3 million fewer people. On closer inspection, however, this seems questionable.

“Some conservative analysts had warned that the law would get more expensive because the people who don’t get Medicaid coverage in those states could just get costlier subsidies to get private coverage under the law,” reports Politico.com.

When states opt out of the expansion of Medicaid (called Medi-Cal in California), it is esti-mated that 6 million people who earn from 100 percent to 138 percent of the federal poverty level will go elsewhere for cover-age. About 3 million of them are expected to enroll in Obamacare insurance exchanges operated by states to connect consumers to government-approved insur-ers, whose premiums also will be subsidized with tax dollars.

There are additional land mines ahead. “The Supreme Court decided to treat the indi-vidual mandate as a tax instead of a penalty, partly on the basis the mandate would not impose an ‘exceedingly heavy burden,’” according to Tax Foundation economist William McBride. “The tax/penalty would be at least $1,000 for most of the unin-sured and more than $12,000 for high-income earners. Low-income families would be hit the hardest, as the tax would be as high as 10 percent of income.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Florida Republican Rep. Allen West endorsed Rep. Sandy Adams on Thursday, backing a fellow tea party freshman over 10-term Rep. John Mica in an intraparty GOP fight that voters will decide next month.

In a statement from the Adams campaign, West said he and Adams went to Washington two years ago “to work to get our republic back on track. We quick-

ly learned the problems were deeper and there were some entrenched careerist politicians who supported the status quo.”

West, the outspoken con-gressman who also represents a Florida district, said he backed Adams because she represents a “new generation of Republican conservatives who have come to the halls of Congress to find solu-tions and is working tirelessly against some on Capitol Hill who

would rather perpetuate the prob-lems.”

West’s endorsement comes less than a month before the Aug. 14 primary in Florida between Adams and Mica, the chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Redistricting pitted Mica against Adams in the central Florida district near Orlando. The fierce fight represents a clash of establishment vs. tea party,

federal spending to boost local economies vs. budget cutting to rein in the deficit.

Lawmakers have shown their preferences in the half-dozen Republican and Democratic intra-party battles through campaign contributions, but West’s full-throated endorsement is a fresh reminder of tea party solidarity.

Most notably, earlier this year, several Republican leaders sig-naled their support for Rep. Adam

Kinzinger over veteran Rep. Donald Manzullo in the Illinois incumbent vs. incumbent race by contributing to Kinzinger, who prevailed in the March primary.

Adams, a former deputy sher-iff and state lawmaker, recently picked up the backing of 2008 GOP vice presidential candi-date Sarah Palin. Mica won the support of former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee on Wednesday.

ohn 1:16-17: “And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”.

What does it mean – grace and truth come through Jesus Christ?

The foundation of Christianity is Jesus Christ. The apostle Paul wrote in I Corinthians 3:11: “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Christ Jesus”. We once again see that our view of Jesus Christ is our only means of salvation. Paul wrote in Ephesians 2:8-9: “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God not of works, lest anyone should boast”. So it is because of God’s grace we are saved. Just what is Grace?

Grace is “the kindness and the love of God our Savior…not by works of righteousness which we have done…having been justified by His grace” (Titus 3:4,5,7). As a principle, therefore, grace is set in contrast with law (Rom. 11:6), under which God demands righ-teousness from men, as, under grace. He gives righteousness to men (Rom. 3:21-24; 8:3-4; Gal. 2:16; Phil. 3:9). Law is connected with Moses and works; grace, with Christ and faith (John 1:17; Rom. 10:4-10). Under law, blessings accompany obedience (Deut. 28:1-6); grace bestows blessings as a free gift (Rom. 4:3-5; Eph. 2:8).

In its fullness, grace began with the ministry of Christ involving His death and resurrection, for He came to die for sinners (John 1:17; Matt. 11:28-30; 16:21; 20:28; Rom. 3:24-26; 4:24-25). Under the former dispensation, law was shown to be powerless to secure

righteousness and life for a sinful race (Gal. 3:21-22). Prior to the cross man’s salvation was through faith (Gen. 15:6;Rom. 4:3), being grounded on Christ’s atoning sac-rifice, anticipated by God (Rom. 3:25; see Gen. 1:28); now it is clearly revealed that salvation and righteousness are received by faith in the crucified and resur-rected Savior (John 1:12-13; 5:24; I

John 4:11-13), with holiness of life and good works fol-lowing as the fruit of salvation (John 15-16; Rom. 8:2-4; Eph. 2:8-10; Titus 2:11-14).

There was grace before Christ came, as wit-nessed by the pro-vision of sacrifice for sinners (Ex.

20:24-26; Lev. 5:17-18; 17:11). The difference between the former age and the present age, therefore, is not a matter of no grace and some grace, but rather that today grace reigns (Rom. 5:21), in the sense that the only Being who has a right to judge sinners (John 5:22) is now seated on a throne of grace (Heb. 4:14-16), not imputing to the world their trespasses (I Cor. 5:19).

(Numbers 1-3 – Scofield Notes)As we study these scriptures we

can easily see Grace is bestowed on us, even though we do not deserve it. Our sins are forgiven because of the shed blood of Jesus on Calvary. John 1:17 says not only grace came through, but truth came through Jesus Christ. It’s no wonder these cult religions don’t want us to know who Jesus is. Only through Him comes truth. Only through Jesus can we receive the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus prom-ised to send to us (John 14:16-17).n Hugh G. Sherrill, an ordained

minister and Bible teacher at Eastside Baptist Church, is avail-able for revivals.

The devil made me do it…” This phrase, made popular by comedian Flip Wilson in the 1970’s,

is most often used as a “tongue-in-cheek” admission of guilt, without really having to accept responsibility for our actions. This means, “Yes, I did what you are accusing me of…but no, it’s not my fault!” The idea that the devil could “make” us do something would be a scary thought…if it were true. Nowhere in the Bible do we find that Satan has the power to make you and I do anything…but we can see that he is an accomplished fisherman:

“But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.” James 1:4-5

The goal of any good fisher-man is to catch the fish. In the original Greek translation, the word “enticed” means bait. Makes sense…bait is used to entice. What Satan knows is that what is true for fish is also true for people. Not all bait entices all fish…but sooner or later you can hit upon bait that your intended fish will bite. This is where our evil desires come in…determined by our

environment, heritage, and our own sin nature, certain bait will be enticing to me, while other “fish” may be able to swim past without a second glance...and vice versa.

According to these verses, the formula for sin involves three ingredients…bait, our evil desires, and conception. Conception is the moment of

decision to bite the bait…think-ing you are about to get some-thing really wonderful…and all along the hook is waiting. Understand that simply being attracted to the bait isn’t sin. Biting the bait is what gives birth to sin, and unless there is an interruption of the process, the fish is going in the frying pan…because sin leads to death.

Our best option is to learn how to stay clear of the bait that has already enticed us in the past, and to make sure we are on the lookout for a hook

under that “too-good-to-be-true” or the “no-one-will-know” bait dangling in front of us. Following after bait drags us far away from our marriage vows, our health, our obedience to our parents, and our devotion to God.

If you find yourself hooked by sin, I want to remind you that the path you are on leads to one destination…death. Perhaps the death will be of trust, respect, your reputation, your marriage and family, your health…perhaps your life. Removing the hook is a pain-ful process, and not something that we can do alone…at times we all need encouragement, direction and accountability to keep us off the hook. Hmmm, maybe this is why Jesus calls his disciples to be fishers of men…

JHEART MATTERS

Mercy is when you DON’T GET what

you deserve. Justice is when you GET what you deserve. Grace is when you GET what you DON’T deserve. Three simple principles to remember when study-ing the Bible.

We have made the Christian life far to dif-

ficult, and taken the joy right out of follow-ing Jesus by allowing legalism to creep into pulpits and classes. Legalism is a system of works whereby one feels he has balanced the religious scales so he can get into heaven. Legalism is the focus on obeying commands (of God) which takes the heart and soul out of fol-lowing Jesus.

Answer these ques-tions: Can you give more? Can you attend church more? Can you tell others about Jesus

more? Can you read the bible more? Can you pray more? You say, “Sure, I can do more.” Well, legalism says, “You are bad because you have not done all you can.” Law has no Savior, no Calvary, no forgive-ness. It just condemns you when you don’t DO what it says. You can never do enough ‘under law’. You will find a lot of guilt on this ‘road too much travelled’, because no matter what you do, it is never enough. This is what many use to get people to give, pray, and attend, bring people etc…

Consider these questions: Do you give some? (“Yes” – Wonderful! Grow), Do you go to church? (“Yes” – Wonderful), Do you tell others about Jesus? (“Yes” – Great! Keep it up). What’s the point? Well it should be obvious because we are showing the difference between legalism and grace. Life under LAW is hard, and demanding and a life of guilt. Life under GRACE on the other hand is a life of joy, and encour-agement to keep grow-ing in Jesus.

For example, just think about your driv-ing record. All of you “good” drivers, think of all the times you did a ‘rolling stop’, or crossed the solid white line, or made a “U” turn where you shouldn’t have, or

went over the speed limit, or parked wrong. Now imagine a roll of paper coming down from the sky with ALL of your infractions listed over the years you have been driving. Long list, right? Under LAW, you are a terrible driver. Add to that all the other things you’ve done wrong. There’s no hope.

Under GRACE how-ever, this roll of paper has nothing written against you. God says, “This one is Mine, My Son paid for his sins. Read Romans 8

Well, will Christians who act like they are under law and works go to heaven? O, I believe they will, but they will go kicking and screaming, never confident about their salvation, never believing they have done enough, prayed enough, given enough, attended enough.

Never seeing that Jesus did it all. Amazing grace is not tiny grace, narrow grace, or ‘barely there’ grace… it is great grace. Great enough to save even the worst of sinners. Great enough to save believers who disagree.

I don’t, go to church, give, sing, pray, study, write articles - to be saved… I do these things because I am saved by grace and heaven bound. (More to come).

7AReligion

God sent many different proph-ets when He was trying to get the nation

of Israel to turn from their idols and to turn to Him only for worship, one of which was the prophet Joel. On one occasion when the prophet was writing about repentance, he said the Lord declared, “Yet even now return to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, weeping, and mourning; and rend your heart and not your garments.” Making his own commentary about what the Lord declared, Joel said, “Now return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness, and relent-ing of evil” (Joel 2:12, 13).

There are several things to consider concerning both what the Lord said and Joel’s comments. It seems that by Joel quoting the Lord, he is telling his readers God’s definition of repentance. In his commentary, Joel is talk-ing about why God would be willing to accept repentance from His people. Let’s medi-ate upon both.

From the Lord’s quote, we learn that repentance involves making a “return” to the Lord. This implies that we have left the Lord. It means that we need to make a change in the direction of our lives. It means that we need to go back to where we came from.

Not only are we to “return,” but our whole heart must be involved in

this going back to the Lord. We just cannot simply say the words that we want to return. We cannot return because we are forced to in response to some external circumstances. The Lord says the “return” must be “with all your heart.” He even adds some other actions which will indicate that we truly realize the severity of our actions. Notice the Lord includes “fasting, weeping, and mourning.” These are all actions which indicate that we are very serious about our “return” to the Lord. The other action mentioned is “rend your heart and not your garments.” When someone rends or tears their garments it was an outward show of their mourning or sorrow. God was not inter-ested in the outward show but rather wanted to see the “heart,” or the inner man, showing signs of mourning or sorrow.

In Joel’s commentary he is trying to show the char-acter of God and to give some encouragement to the people that God will accept their repentance if they will only do it. When Joel says that God is “gracious and compassionate,” he is speak-ing of how God will deal emotionally with someone.

When Joel says that God is “slow to anger,” he is telling the readers that God will control His temper and not explode when they come before God in repen-tance. When Joel says that God is “abounding in lov-ingkindness,” he is saying that God will always show

His kindness, as well as His love, to those who repent. And finally, when Joel says that God is “relenting of evil,” he is saying that God will “back off” from punish-ing people when they are willing to repent.

Repentance is something that we must do from time to time. This Old Testament prophet gives us a lot of hope that God will accept our repentance when we

offer it to Him. It gives us some insight as to how God will deal with us when we show fruits of repentance. It gives us the confidence that God will treat us fairly and lovingly when He sees true repentance from us. What God expects, and what we can expect from God when we do it, is told to us by this Old Testament prophet in his commentary on repentance.

Indians learn lessons at FCA

BRANDON FINLEY/Lake City Reporter

LEFT: Fort White High’s Trey Phillips breaks on a ball against Santa Fe High in a game played last season. Fort White head coach Demetric Jackson said Phillips was among the standouts at the FCA Camp in Deland this week. RIGHT: Fort White High’s Chris Waites leads a host of defenders in a tackle against a Newberry High running back last season.

Jackson pleased with Fort White’s effortBy BRANDON FINLEY

bfinley@lakecityreporter.com

Fort White High returned home this week from the Fellowship of Christian

Athletes football camp with more answers than ques-tions left heading into the 2012 season.

With teams such as Frostproof, Heritage, Taylor County and Union County high schools, the Indians were in no shortage of competition.

“It was a physical camp,” Fort White head coach Demetric Jackson said. “We saw some areas that we need to work on and some guys grew up. There are still some weak spots

across the offensive and defensive lines, but I think we can hold our own.”

Jackson said the problem isn’t so much talent, but get-ting the talent to perform on a down-to-down basis.

“We’ve got to be more consistent,” Jackson said. “We’ve got some guys that can’t play both ways like we’re used to. We wouldn’t realize those type of things

without camp.”Jackson pointed out

Tavaris Williams as one of the camp’s standout per-formers.

“Tavaris played really well,” Jackson said. “He played much more physi-cal than he has in the past. He was able to come out healthy and we saw a lot of improvement.”

There were also a host of

young players that began to make names for themselves at the FCA camp.

“We’re crossing our fingers about Randall Fraddosio,” Jackson said. “He was a guy that took 95 percent of the reps. We’re counting on young guys like him to step up.”

And Jackson’s also hop-ing to find players that can play both sides of the ball.

“Chris Waites is a guy that play both on both the offensive and defensive lines,” Jackson said. “Other guys like A.J. Kluess are better suited to play on one side. Michael Blackmon showed signs that he could play. We just have to deter-mine which side some of these guys are better at and

INDIANS continued on 5B

The Green Bay Packers took Ray Nitschke Field for the opening of

fall practice at 8:15 a.m. Thursday with Lake City’s Samson Genus in the mix at center.

Sampson, who played at Columbia High and South Florida, was on the practice squad last year for the Packers. He is signed by Green Bay (reported $390K) through the 2012 season and can become a restricted free agent in 2013.

Despite losing eight-year veteran center Scott Wells to St. Louis, Green Bay did not draft a center. However, the Packers did sign long-time Indianapolis center Jeff Saturday, 37, who started 188 games for the Colts in the Peyton Manning era.

Evan Dietrich-Smith was back-up at center and guard for Green Bay last year. He has been with the Packers since 2009 when he made the team after not being drafted.

Tommie Draheim, who

played tackle at San Diego State, is an undrafted rookie that worked out at center in the Packers’ rookie camp in early May.

Genus spoke with Green Bay Press Gazette writer Pete Dougherty, who wrote about the Packers’ centers in May.

Dougherty noted that, at 6 feet tall, Genus is short for an NFL lineman, though his 320 pounds provides a solid frame.

“You have to work harder every place to make up for the (height) disadvantage,” Genus said to Dougherty. “I have a good base and am pretty stable.”

The NFL lockout in 2011 cost Genus practice time

and he said his year spent on the practice squad was valuable.

“Last year I wasn’t ready to play,” Genus told Dougherty. “Sometimes you have to be real with yourself. Coming in and seeing how fast the game goes, listening to Aaron (Rodgers) back there run through things and how fast you have to process that, I wasn’t ready. That was good for me last year, opened my eyes to a lot of things, helped me read defenses.”

Dougherty reported there will be experienced eyes on Sampson and the rest of the centers.

Head coach Mike McCarthy has three former centers on his staff — offensive line coach James Campen (New Orleans, Green Bay), assistant offensive line coach Joel Hilgenberg (New Orleans) and tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot (Chicago, New Orleans, Cincinnati).

Olympic torch cheered through LondonBy RAPHAEL SATTER

Associated Press

LONDON — The Olympic torch took a festive, valedic-tory lap around London on Thursday, taking in some of the sun-drenched capital’s most famous landmarks on the second-to-last day of its trek across Britain.

The torch — carried by athletes, charity workers and celebrities — thrilled thousands of Londoners as it swept across Regent’s Canal in Camden, through the city’s newly renovated neo-gothic train station at St. Pancras and down the winding streets of the ancient City of London.

For many Londoners, it was their first glimpse of a golden beacon that has spent the past 68 days traveling up and down the country, from Loch Ness to Land’s End, as well as going across the water to Ireland and Northern Ireland.

In the north London neighborhood of Camden, many families with young children got up early to cheer as the torch kicked off its relay at the Victorian-era Roundhouse music hall around 6:50 a.m. Others simply hadn’t been to bed.

“It was pretty cool to see it actually,” said 19-year-old Anastasia Gribaldi, a Goth who had been out all night clubbing. “It was like: ‘Wow, it’s the torch!’ We weren’t expecting it.”

The torch completes its 70-day, 8,000-mile (12,900-

kilometer) journey on Friday, lighting the Olympic Stadium’s cauldron in a cer-emony marking the official start of the 2012 London Games. The identity of the final torchbearer is still a closely guarded secret.

On Thursday, the torch was carried past some of the city’s most impres-sive landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament, 10 Downing St. and Buckingham Palace, where it was greeted by Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Earlier in the day it sped across London’s River Thames along with Paralympic champion Ade Adipitan, whose dread-locks flapped in the wind as he propelled his wheel-chair across the slender Millennium Bridge.

Londoners who have spent much of the past few weeks worrying about rain, Olympic security, and strikes appeared to lighten up.

In the south London bor-ough of Lambeth, flag-wav-ing crowds chanted “We want the torch!” In nearby Wandsworth, 24-year-old John Lake — a cancer sur-vivor who has raised thou-sands for the Brain Research Trust — pumped his fist and waved the torch back and forth as he ran down the road with a mile-wide grin.

“Make some noise!” someone shouted as the crowd erupted into cheers.

The crowds thick-ened further as the torch

made its way back across the Thames, with Joanna Lumley and Jennifer Saunders — who played Patsy and Edina in the British comedy “Absolutely Fabulous” — taking the

flame for a jaunty walk in London’s wealthy Chelsea neighborhood.

On Oxford Street, London’s famous shopping thoroughfare, the torch rode on an open-topped,

double-decker bus.Still, not everyone was

caught up in the Olympic excitement.

“It was pretty convenient that it came through as I was getting my morning

coffee,” said Jack Tate, a 28-year-old retail worker in Camden. “Now I can say I’ve seen it. There’s no need to watch any more of this Olympics rubbish for the next few weeks.”

Olympics: Year of the WomanBy PAUL HAVEN

Associated Press

LONDON — Claressa “T-Rex” Shields gives new meaning to the term girl power.

The 17-year-old middle-weight from Flint, Mich., is known for powerful com-bos and lightning footwork, and is the youngest com-petitor in women’s boxing, a new event at the London Olympics.

She’s also one of a crowd of female athletes grabbing the limelight at the 2012 Games, which are quickly shaping up as a watershed for women’s sports.

Cynics say Olympic organizers have been tout-ing the coming of gender equality for years, but 2012 does bring several impor-tant crossovers.

For the first time, there are more women on the U.S. team than men, 269 to 261, and Russia’s team, which is nearly as big, is also majority-female. Saudi Arabia has sent its first two women to the competi-tion, and the games feature what in all likelihood is the most pregnant athlete to compete in an Olympics: Malaysian shooter Nur Suryani Mohamed Taibi, who is due to give birth to a girl any day now.

Even Britain’s poster athlete for the Games is a woman — heptathlete Jessica Ennis, who in addi-tion to appearing on count-less London billboards also beams up at arriving visitors from a field along the Heathrow airport flight path. A 173-by-264-foot like-ness of the telegenic star is painted on the grass there.

“This is a big moment for women’s sports,” said Shields, who was stretch-ing and shadowboxing at a sweltering training facility near the Olympic Village, her hands wrapped tight-ly in pink boxing tape, an American flag do-rag on her head.

Boxing was the last sport organizers needed to add so that women compete in all Summer Olympic events, “and now they have,” she

said.“How far have women

come in the Olympics?” asked Karla Wolters, a retired professor and long-time coach of women’s softball at Hope College in Michigan. “Put it this way: If Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympics, knew that there were more (American) women than men in this year’s London Olympics, I’m sure he would be rolling over in his grave. He was totally against having women in the Olympics.”

Indeed, in the first games, in Athens in 1896, all 256 competitors were men. Women were allowed to compete four years later, with tennis player Charlotte Cooper the first champion. (Medals were not awarded until 1904.)

But the surge in high-pro-file women at the world’s

premier sports competition is a relatively recent phe-nomenon. The numbers began to pick up in the 1990s.

“I’m proud to say that the Olympic movement is living up to its own ideals of fair play and mutual respect,” said Anita DeFrantz, a for-mer Olympic rower and chair of the International Olympic Committee Women and Sport Commission. “All the sports on the program have women and men. I’m very proud where we are now that all the National Olympic Committees in the world will have women Olympians.”

DeFrantz said more women took part in Summer and Winter Games from 1998 through 2010 than in all the competitions from 1900 through 1984 com-bined, and 45 percent of the 10,800 athletes in London are women, a record. For

the first time, every nation will have at least one female athlete.

While the Dream Team men’s basketball squad, American swimmer Michael Phelps and Jamaican sprint-er Usain Bolt are still likely to generate the biggest headlines, female athletes such as American hurdler Lolo Jones and Italian swim-mer Federica Pellegrini aren’t far behind. And in some of the less-followed sports, female athletes are the main story.

That is certainly the case in shooting, where fans are holding their breath to see whether Malaysia’s Taibi will give birth before competing in her specialty, the 10-meter air rifle com-petition. And in weight-lifting, where American superheavyweight Holley Mangold has captured hearts with her irreverent, sometimes bawdy com-

ments on living with obe-sity.

And then there’s Zara Phillips, the 31-year-old granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth II, who is com-peting in equestrian and expecting a few royal fans to show up to cheer her on.

Some women are making headlines off the court as well.

Victoria Pendleton, another British home-town girl, has parlayed her looks and growing fame into a marketing bonanza, appearing in shampoo ads and a racy lingerie shoot in which she proclaimed herself proud of her ultra-muscly thighs. One look at the photos and it’s easy to see why.

And U.S. women’s soccer goaltender Hope Solo, who is pitching a memoir she just wrote, turned heads with some comments to ESPN the Magazine about

widespread sex in the ath-letes’ village during the Beijing Olympics.

Still, there have been sev-eral reminders in the lead-up to the competition that total equality hasn’t arrived just yet.

Australia booked its women’s basketball team to fly to the games in coach, while the men got business-class treatment. Ditto for Japan’s women’s soccer squad, which had to squeeze into economy despite the fact they are world champions, while the men, who are not expected to medal, stretched out at the front of the plane.

And DeFrantz said there is much work to do before women have an equal say in the business of the games. The 100-strong IOC has only 14 women, though one, former hurdles cham-pion Nawal El Moutawakel of Morocco, on Thursday became the first woman to be elected a vice president.

“On the field of play, we are nearly there,” DeFrantz said. “It’s in the decision-making sense — in the rooms and halls — that we have more work to be done.”

Tennis legend Billie Jean King, one of the world’s leading voices for women’s sports, said the strides made by American female athletes stem directly from Title IX, the 1972 U.S. law that banned sex discrimi-nation in educational pro-grams — including sports — that receive federal funds.

“What we are seeing with the London Olympics is a reflection of the growth and impact of Title IX,” King said, adding that American women might not only out-number men at the Games — they could very well out-medal them, too.

“We now have a stron-ger foundation for future generations of female Olympians,” she said, “and we need to remain commit-ted to sustaining this move-ment and the progress we are making, here in the USA and globally.”

if they can play both sides. Our main goal is to shore up the lines.”

Jackson believes if the Indians can shore up some spots they’ll be in for a very good season, but even still the future is promising.

“We were fairly even with most teams,” he said. “We had a hard time against Heritag, which was running with nine defenders in the box. We found that we could throw pretty good against them, but we didn’t have a running game. Frostproof, which many coaches said was the best team there, we seemed to match up the best with them.”

The Indians also had a chance to see a couple of opponents that they will face off against in the regular season. Both good and bad could come from this according to Jackson, so he kept his playbook tight.

“Union had a good squad as well as Taylor,” Jackson said. “We didn’t want to try to show them too much, because we will see them in the regular

season. We showed them our base plays, but we didn’t show them a lot of formations. With us, we might run Wing-T one day and run spread the next. With Union, you know they’re going to run Wing-T, because that’s what they do. The same goes for Taylor with the spread. I think it will turn out to be an advantage for us, because there’s a lot they haven’t seen including some stuff we’re doing with motioning players.”

On the defensive side, Jackson pointed to four-year veteran Trey Phillips as the standout.

“Trey played well and we expect that from a four-year guy,” Jackson said. “We also had Kellen Snider, Cameron White and Blair Champman playing pretty good in our linebacking unit. Chapman is a young guy, but he’s playing hard and has the potential to be good. Melton Sanders also surprised at free safety. He’s a basketball guy, so we worried about how physical he could be, but he was solid in the open field.”

6B LAKECITYREPORTERADVICE & PUZZLES FRIDAY&sATuRDAY,JuLY27-28,2012

DEAR ABBY: I have a son with two good friends. They are at my house often and are really good boys. I enjoy them, and I’m glad my son is friendly with them.

The problem is their mothers. Both these women are receptive to playdate invites, but when I see them in social situa-tions, they say very little to me and almost act as if they don’t know me. Even when they pick up their kids, talking to them is awkward, and they give the impression they’re always in a hurry.

I think if your kids spend five hours at my house and I have fed them, I deserve a little face time at the very least. I find their behavior rude and would love to say something. I’m just not sure how. What do you suggest? -- PLAYDATE ETIQUETTE

DEAR PLAYDATE ETIQUETTE: I think you are expecting too much of these women. Because your son is friendly with theirs does not guarantee that the friendship must extend to the parents. If the only thing you have in common with them is the fact that their boys spend time with your son, then it may not be so much a mat-ter of what you “deserve” but what they are comfort-able with. If you want to be compensated for the snacks, then say so, but don’t expect them to be paid for with friendship ... ‘cause it ain’t gonna hap-pen.

DEAR ABBY: I have been widowed for four years and have had the good fortune to meet

someone special. I’ll call him Jerry. My mother-in-law, whom I am very close to, is still griev-ing the loss of her son. She says it is hard for her to see Jerry and me together.

Does this mean I can’t invite him to any family events? We are at the point in our relationship where I think it would be unkind to make him feel like he is not welcome. Jerry has been patient, loving and considerate of me and my kids. What do you think I should do? -- DOESN’T WANT TO HURT HER

DEAR DOESN’T: Your mother-in-law will ALWAYS grieve the loss of her son. The question is, is she willing to risk becoming distanced from you and the grandchil-dren? Talk to her about your relationship with Jerry and explain that you still would like to be a part of her life, but that it will require her to accept the new man in YOURS.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter, “Joanne,” is 42 and lives at home with me. She’s attractive, friendly, well-liked and has a good job. She pays all her own bills.

The problem is, she seems stuck in her life. She hasn’t dated in years and appears content to just go to work and come home.

Whenever I try to encour-age her to get out more, she says, “It is what it is.” She’s not shy. She’s outgoing, so I don’t understand. I’d love for her to be independent and have her own apart-ment. Sometimes she’ll turn it around and ask, “Do you WANT me to leave?”

Joanne doesn’t seem to understand that I’m concerned only for her future. She has no sib-lings, and I worry that when I’m gone she’ll be alone. I want her to get out more, meet someone and eventually fall in love.

How do I get through to her without nagging? -- ONLY WANTS THE BEST FOR HER

DEAR ONLY WANTS THE BEST: Your daughter has many positive attributes. Has it occurred to you that she may be perfectly happy with her life as it is and not looking for the kind of life you would like her to have? Worrying about her won’t do either of you any good. Let the future work itself out. There’s an old proverb with much truth in it: “Man plans; God laughs.”

DEAR ABBY: I have an offensive habit of look-ing people “up and down” when I first meet them, and when I think no one is aware of it. I have tried breaking myself of the habit, but I often don’t realize I’m doing it until I catch myself. I know other people notice.

I’m a shy, self-con-scious person, but at my age I should be comfort-able enough with myself to not allow my insecuri-ties to be so obvious. How can I stop this bad habit? -- MS. LOOKIE-LOO IN GEORGIA

DEAR MS. LOOKIE-LOO: You may be look-ing people up and down because your social inse-curity makes it difficult for you to look them in the eye -- which is what you should be doing. As with any habit, breaking it will take practice. When you meet someone, make a conscious effort to look no further down than the person’s shoulders. If you can’t continue eye contact, shift your glance between the person’s mouth and forehead.

DEAR ABBY: My co-workers and I are having a debate and need you to settle it for us. “Anthony” was born in Mexico and spoke Spanish for the first four years of his life. He was then adopted and has lived in the United

States ever since. He does not remember any Spanish at all.

Anthony says that Spanish is his first lan-guage (since it was the first one he learned) and that English is his second. My other co-workers, how-ever, say that Spanish can-not be his first language if he doesn’t know any. Who is correct? -- SPEAKING UP IN INDIANAPOLIS

DEAR SPEAKING UP: If Spanish was the language your co-worker learned in his early child-hood, then Spanish was his first language. However, because he has spoken (and thought) only in English since the age of 4, English is his DOMINANT language. Readers, do you agree?

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I went out to dinner recently at an upscale restaurant in a hotel in a nearby city. During the dinner I asked my wife not to scrape bread crumbs from the table-cloth onto the floor, and to please not use her fin-gernail to pry something from between her teeth.

She became upset with me for saying it. What she was doing embar-rassed me; it didn’t look appropriate. She says I should have waited to tell her. We have agreed to abide by your words. -- EMBARRASSED HUSBAND IN OREGON

DEAR EMBARRASSED: As long as you couldn’t be overheard, there was nothing wrong with you saying it. In an upscale restaurant, the server is supposed to remove crumbs from the table -- not the diner. And if there was food between your wife’s teeth, she should have excused herself from the table to remove it. (Ick!)

HOROSCOPES

DEAR ABBY

CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY: Jonathan Rhys Meyers, 35; Maya Rudolph, 40; Julian McMahon, 44; Cliff Curtis, 44.

Happy Birthday: Pick up the pace and prepare to make the changes neces-sary to get what you want. Ask for favors or call in old debts. What you offer in return for a helping hand will lead to repeat custom-ers and a chance to expand or diversify to bring in extra cash. Your numbers are 9, 13, 20, 27, 29, 33, 47.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Trust your own judg-ment. Set the standard and run the show. Pursue what you want and you will find a way to incorporate every-thing you do into your plans. Love is on the rise, and fun times are ahead. ★★★

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Be careful how you approach touchy subjects with friends or family. Over-aggressiveness will lead to misunderstanding. Judge your relationships with others based on com-monality and how relaxed you feel sharing personal information. ★★★

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Offer services to someone in need. Your generosity will put you in a good position and allow you to demonstrate what you can contribute on a much larger scale. Take time out to do something enjoyable that will improve you personally. ★★★

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Don’t take on more than you can handle or

something you cannot finish. A problem with friends or children will leave you feel-ing helpless. If you want to make something work, you will have to find a unique solution. ★★★★★

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Emotional matters will escalate if you aren’t quick to take care of complaints. An unusual approach to saving will help you ward off someone’s attempt to help you part with your money. Love is highlight-ed, but will be costly. ★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t consider doing everything by yourself. If you really want to make a difference, go to the experts and learn firsthand what’s required. Your abil-ity to admit when you are wrong will influence the outcome of a standoff. ★★★★

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You can take on more then you realize. Once you get moving, it will be dif-ficult for anyone to catch up. Don’t let an emotional comment slow you down or hold you back. Do your own thing and enjoy your accomplishments. ★★★

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): An argument will develop if you don’t share others’ beliefs. Don’t dis-cuss matters that can leave you in an awkward posi-tion. It’s OK to head in a different direction, but you may not want to talk about it just yet. ★★★

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Don’t argue

over money. Budget wisely, or you may not be able to afford your

next adventure. A relation-ship will provide you with plenty of excitement. Don’t exaggerate, or you will end up looking bad in front of someone you like. ★★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your contribu-tions won’t go unnoticed if you are humble and gra-cious and you share any honors with those who contributed to your suc-cess. Sharing the glory can have a long-term effect on your advancement and popularity. ★★★★

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don’t let emo-tions lead you astray or cause you to miss out on something you really

want to do. Getting your house in order will con-tribute to lifestyle improve-ments and help you to bet-ter manage your finances. ★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Let intuition lead. You can take action to avoid falling behind. Don’t let someone who is trying to manipulate you personally interfere with what you need to accomplish profes-sionally. Emotional decep-tion is apparent. Get a sec-ond opinion. ★★★★★

Birthday Baby: You are an outgoing doer, quick to adapt and experiment.

The Nationwide Series points battle continues to deliverplenty of mid-season drama. The circuit’s champion isdetermined by a season-long points formula instead of theChase format used in the Cup series, but the race is closenonetheless.

With his victory at Chicagoland Speedway on Sunday,points leader Elliott Sadler extended his lead over hisRichard Childress Racing teammate Austin Dillon to 11points. And Ricky Stenhouse Jr., who dominated the raceat Chicago but lost the lead late when he was caught inthe pits by a caution flag and dropped to 10th place, isthird, just 19 points out of the lead after rebounding to fin-ish second. Dillon was sixth.

Sadler, like Stenhouse a week before at NewHampshire, had to battle both his competitors and the flubug throughout the weekend.

“We were in the right place at the right time,” Sadlersaid in his winner’s interview. “Ricky had the strongest carall day, but we kept working at it and eventually got intothe right position.”

Sadler also collected a $100,000 Dash 4 Cash bonusfrom series sponsor Nationwide. The bonus, collected theweek before by Dillon, is offered only to full-timeNationwide drivers.

Dillon, a series rookie and the 22-year-old grandson ofteam owner Richard Childress, said on last week’sNASCAR teleconference that racing a teammate for apoints championship has yet to pose problems.

“We are a team here at RCR and we have been workingtogether, sharing information, just like we have from thestart,” Dillon said. “Some weeks Elliott is faster than I amand we might use his [chassis] setups; and some weeks, hemight use our setups.”

He said that the teams plan to continue helping eachother.

“Everybody is working together for one common goal,”

he said. “I think it will stay that way. And it should. That’show it’s going to be for the rest of the year, and we’ll fightit out as a team and drivers at the end of the year and seehow it works out.”

The Nationwide Series drivers will run the circuit’sfirst-ever visit to Indianapolis Motor Speedway this week-end. In previous years, the Nationwide and CampingWorld Truck Series raced at Indianapolis Raceway Park innearby Clermont, Ind., when the Cup Series ran at theBrickyard.

The Raceway Park races were some of the most com-petitive – and best-attended – races on the two circuits.

Ayear ago, Paul Menardscored a surprising victoryin the Brickyard 400 at

Indianapolis Motor Speedway,delivering his father John Menardan Indy win that had eluded himin years of owning and sponsoringcars at the famed track.

Besides his breakthrough Cupwin, Paul Menard scored threeother top-five finishes last year,made a run at a Chase berth andwound up a career-best 17th inSprint Cup points.

As the circuit returns to theBrickyard this week, Menard is15th in the standings, 79 pointsaway from 10th place and a Chaseberth. He’s still seeking his firsttop-five of the season and has fourtop 10s in a year that has seen hisRichard Childress Racing organi-zation struggle to find speed atmany tracks. Although one team-mate, Kevin Harvick, is sixth inthe standings, he has just threetop-five finishes, the fewest of anydriver in the top 10. The otherteammate, Jeff Burton, is 19th inthe standings, 120 points awayfrom 10th.

Realistically, the only way eitherMenard or Burton could make the12-driver field for the 10-race, sea-son-ending, championship-decidingChase is to win a race or two inthe next six races, the final ones ofthe 26-race regular season.

During the off-week before theBrickyard, Menard had time to

participate in the NASCAR tele-conference and reflect on his win ofa year ago.

“We were fortunate enough towin the race last year and kiss thebricks, and [would] like to do thatagain, for sure,” he said.

He said he often thinks back tohis heartwarming win over JeffGordon, Regan Smith and JamieMcMurray.

“I’ve got the trophy in a spotright between my bedroom andthe kitchen, so I walk by it a dozentimes a day at least,” he said. “I’vegot a lot of little things, pictures.A fan at a Menards store a coupleof months back gave me some T-shirts from the race, from the inau-

gural race in 1994, up to last year’srace. Little keepsakes like that.”

One lady made him a quilt.“It’s a huge quilt that I’ve got in

our living room downstairs,” hesaid. “Just a bunch of things. It’snot really well organized, a lot ofpictures, some montages and stuff,but got a little bit here and therethroughout the house. A lot ofreminders every day for sure.”

Backing up his Brickyard win isgoing to be difficult, and is going torequire improved performancefrom his team, as he acknowl-edged.

“In order to contend for racewins, we have got to get better, andwe all understand that, and we are

all working hard towards it,” hesaid, adding that he was encour-aged by his performance at PoconoRaceway, a long track with flatturns that has similar characteris-tics to Indy.

“We had a good run, qualifiedthird and finished ninth at Poconoand a lot of those things translateback over to Indy,” he said. “I lookforward to going to Indy. We arebringing a new car. It’s one thatwe ran at Richmond, but wewrecked it, broke the throttle andwrecked the car. This will be thefirst true test of this new car, andit’s been a pretty good one so far.So, hopefully, all goes well and wecan repeat.”

Menard said that while he’ll beplaying the role of and acceptingthe honors of defending winnerthis week, he’s more focused onwhat happens when he straps inhis car for practice, qualifying andthe race on Sunday.

“What happened last year wasgreat, and I’ll always cherish it,” hesaid. “I have a lot of memorabiliafrom it, but the time now is towork on this year.”

And for him there’s no biggerrace on the schedule.

“I know for the sport, Daytona isconsidered the Super Bowl, but forme personally, there’s no race Iwould rather win than theBrickyard 400, and to be a two-time winner there would be evenbetter yet,” he said.

NOTEBOOK

Buescher adds to surprise wins

The 2012 season has been one to expect theunexpected from Camping World Truck Seriesdriver James Buescher and his TurnerMotorsports team.

For starters, the youngster got his first majorNASCAR win back at Speedweeks in Daytona; itcame not in the truck series but in theNationwide Series, where he was making one ofhis fairly frequent starts outside his primarydivision.

The 22-year-old Plano, Texas, native went onto score his first truck win at Kansas Speedwayin the fourth truck race of the season, then addedat second at Kentucky Speedway.

But his win in Saturday’s American Ethanol225 at Chicagoland Speedway was about asmuch of a surprise as his Nationwide win atDaytona.

He qualified 11th, but his truck lost speedmid-race so his crew decided to take the time tochange the carburetor, a process that caused himto lose two laps to the leader.

He took advantage of the “lucky dog” rulesthat allow the first driver one or more laps downto regain a lap at caution flags and make up thelost ground. Then he surged to the front on alate-race restart and held off Brendan Gaughan– who led a race-high 83 laps, but spun his tireswhile leading on the next-to-last restart and sur-rendered the lead – to seal the victory.

“What a night,” Buescher said in Victory Lane.“Everyone on this team lives by the motto thatwe never give up, and tonight was a testament tothat motto …

“We all believein what we aredoing and theproducts webring to the racetrack each andevery week.”

Like Buescher,points leaderTimothy Petersand his RedHorse Racingteam had to over-come early set-backs to be incontention at the end. He finished third.

“We didn’t get much practice,” he said. “We hadto change engines.

“This team is strong from adversity. I’m justspeechless every week on what they do for me.We started at the back and came to the front, weled a lap.

“Man, close, but no cigar. We keep running likethis, we’re going to get that mile-and-a-half winthat’s been eluding us.”

The trucks return to the track at PoconoRaceway on Aug. 4.

Military sponsorships get OK

NASCAR teams will be able to seek sponsor-ship dollars from the military after all. The U.S.House voted last week to allow the sponsorshipssuch as National Guard’s backing of DaleEarnhardt Jr. to continue.

The sponsorships are intended to help withrecruiting for the all-volunteer armed forces, butRep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said in an e-mail let-ter to constituents that the spending is ineffec-tive. Kingston and Betty McCollum, D-Minn.,sponsored an amendment that would have elimi-nated $72.3 million for sports sponsorships.

Kingston cited a study that showed that for its$26.5 million sponsorship, the Guard got 24,800inquiries in fiscal year 2012, of which only 20were qualified and none signed up.

Kingston also pointed out that in a time whenthe branches of the service are reducing trooplevels, the sponsorships are not necessary.
