Aaron Wilson is an FEI trainer and competitor living in southern California,formerly from Centralia. He is a United States Dressage Federation Bronze,Silver and Gold Medalist and “L” Judge. His training experience includes:Western, Dressage, Eventing and Jumping. He has also worked with riderswho have special needs. A lifelong professional trainer and instructor, Aaronhas developed an innovative riding system that can improve the seat andbalance of any level of rider in many disciplines.

His system consists of un-mounted exercises performed on a riding devicewhich replicates the movement of a horse’s back. Whether riders are justbeginning, or advanced, Aaron’s system allows a rider to tap into coremuscle groups which allows the brain to develop a muscle memory that canthen be applied when riding a horse.

This clinic works well for groups of three or four riders per session. Aaroncan teach up to 4 sessions a day with each session lasting approximately1 hour and 45 minutes.

Last week I intro-duced just one of thehidden Obama agendasin the health care bill,the 1099 paperworktsunami requiring allbusiness to businesstransactions of $600 ormore to be not justreported but a separate1099 paper trail. Whatamazes me is some ofthe responses, againconfirming that somepeople haven’t a cluewhat’s required of thoseowning and running abusiness. One suchemail stated, “I see twopositive implications ofthese changes.” Thewriter continues, “First,it will force businessowners to keep betterrecords, report incomemore accurately, andpay the proper amountof taxes. Second, it willalso cut back on fraudu-lent business deductions,which will ease the bur-den on the IRS to catchtax cheats and, hopeful-ly, save the rest of ushonest taxpayers thehassles associated withoverbearing IRS scruti-ny. The work involved inissuing 1099s to yourvendors and processingthe 1099s you receivewill not be overbearing.Think of it as highschool math class – youdon’t get an A withoutshowing your work.”

My opinion on thesecomments: Her firstpoint is that it will forcebusiness owners to keepbetter records, reportincome more accurately

and pay the properamount of taxes. Let meassure the writer allhonest businesses dojust that, because theabove is all requiredwhen filing your yearlyincome tax.

As to her secondpoint in her paragraphabove that this “will alsocut back on fraudulentbusiness deductions,which will ease the bur-den on the IRS to catchtax cheats and, hopeful-ly, save the rest of ushonest taxpayers thehassles associated withoverbearing IRS scruti-ny. The work involvedin issuing 1099s to yourvendors and processingthe 1099s you receivewill not be overbearing.Think of it as highschool math class – youdon’t get an A withoutshowing your work.”

My point is the hon-est businesses will beaffected by the extrapaperwork and it willcost unnecessary $$$that could be used forbusiness growth. Butkeep in mind the dis-honest will continue tocheat!

As for the rest ofyour comments, I wouldsuggest you take theblinders off.

Just a few other hid-den mandates in thehealth care bill include a3.8% sales tax on homesales or other real estatetransactions.. The bulkof these new taxes does-n’t start until 2013, and

granted there are manythis won’t affect, but itdoesn’t belong in ahealth care bill.

Then there is the taxon “cadillac health careplans.” Starting in 2013,it imposes a 40% annualtax on health care plansvalued at $10,200 forindividuals and $27,500for families.

And let’s not forgetthe tax on tanning thatimposes a 10% tax onservices at tanningsalons. Business ownerswill collect this tax andsend it to the federalgovernment. I think thisis the first federal salestax in the United States.

These are only a fewof the hidden agendas.Obama has said repeat-edly people could keeptheir current health carecoverage, but it is esti-mated that 8 to 9 millionwill lose their employer-provided coverage underObama care, and thesestatistics come fromnone other than theCongressional BudgetOffice.

Only 50 days left tomidterm elections!

Until next week.

Letters To The Editor

SPEAKOut!

Dear Editor,

The Illinois StateBoard of Education andthe Illinois Departmenton Aging are co-hostingthe First Illinois Summiton Aging and Educationto get more older adultvolunteers in classroomsacross our state. TheSept. 20 summit atIllinois State Universityin Normal could notcome at a better time.Our school districts arestruggling with anunprecedented state fiscalcrisis marked by delayedpayments from the stateand reduced local rev-enue.

At the same time, weare launching statewidecomprehensive educationreform initiatives, fromthe implementation ofthe internationally-benchmarked CommonCore Learning Standardsin Math and English toefforts aimed at turningaround our lowest per-forming schools. Weneed older adult volun-teers more than ever tohelp students meet thesenew and more rigorousstandards and prepare forcollege and careers.

Such work can be assimple as reading to afirst-grader or talking toa high school studentduring study hall. Theextra attention supportsstudents and increasestheir success. Older adultvolunteers discover anew way to serve thecommunity and gainanother social outlet.

Just ask Galesburgresident Richard Murray,a retiree of the NationalSecurity Agency who hasbeen volunteering as areading buddy with sec-ond- and third-graders at

Cooke School inGalesburg CUSD 205 forthe past three years.

"There is no betterfeeling than helpingyoungsters improve theirreading skills," Murraysaid. "You can see theirconfidence grow alongwith their fluency, com-prehension and curiosity.It's fun, rewarding work."

Formal studies arejust beginning to docu-ment what Murray andother older adult volun-teers and students haveexperienced through suchinteraction.

Students are nowreturning to school. Wehope older adults willfollow. Their presencehas the potential toimprove student perfor-mance and inspire ser-vice for generations tocome.

Sincerely,

Christopher A. KochState Superintendent

Two key staff additionsto the Illinois PressFoundation and IllinoisPress Association’sGovernment Relationsstaffs were announcedtoday.

Veteran Illinois news-paper editor Barry Locherof Springfield is the newDirector of Foundation andMember Services. JordanPowell of Springfield hasbeen hired as the AssistantDirector of GovernmentRelations. Both started theirnew positions today.

In making theannouncement, IPAExecutive Director DennisDeRossett said the additionof Locher and Powell to theIPA and Foundation teamwill be very beneficial to allmembers as the associationworks to evolve and expandthe services it offers tomeet the ever-changingneeds of newspapers.

“Barry’s newspapermanagement experienceplus his knowledge andenthusiasm for the newspa-per industry, as well as hisability to build relationshipswith members, makes hima natural fit for this newlystructured position,” saidDeRossett. “We are verypleased to have someone ofhis caliber on staff.”

Locher said, “I amhonored to be a part of theIPA team and look forwardto helping to serve themembers,” Locher said.“This is an exciting time tobe involved in the evolving

newspaper business model.While technology and read-er habits change, I remainconfident in newspapers’ability to continue to pro-vide the best and mosttrustworthy information fortheir communities – deliv-ered in print and online,through multi-media andsocial media channels andthrough various specialtypublications.

“In my view, to reallyknow a community and themany issues that impact it,one must read a newspa-per,” Locher continued.“Journalism schools acrossthe country continue toexperience steady enroll-ment. That suggests to methat young people feel themission, and the passion,that is journalism, and whata special honor it is to doc-ument the human conditionon a daily basis. I am excit-ed by that.”

DeRossett said themissions and activities ofthe association’s three enti-ties---the IPA, IPF andIllinois First AmendmentCenter (IFAC) --are veryintertwined. “This reorgani-zation will insure a moreefficient, cooperative andcollaborative working rela-tionship with all three enti-ties so that we gain maxi-mum benefit with ourresources and programs,”he said.

The executive directorsaid the membership willalso benefit greatly fromthe addition of Powell to

the Government Relationsstaff. Powell fills the posi-tion formerly held by JoshSharp, who was recentlypromoted as IPA’s Directorof Government Relations.

Powell most recentlyserved as a LegislativeLiaison for the IllinoisDepartment of Correctionswhere his main duties werelobbying and constituentservices. He also workedin the Office of theGovernor for one year.“Jordan has valuable expe-rience and will be animmediate asset to our leg-islative and lobbying team,”DeRossett said.

Sharp added, “Jordancertainly knows his wayaround the statehouse andhas proven himself to be aneffective advocate. His abil-ity to communicate effec-tively with members is alsoa major strength.”

Powell said he’s “excit-ed and thrilled” to play akey role in protecting FirstAmendment issues inIllinois. “Representing thenewspaper and mediaindustry is really about pro-moting accountability andtransparency in govern-ment. I’m looking forwardto being an advocate forthese things that are anessential part of the founda-tion of our democracy.”

The Illinois PressAssociation is the largeststate newspaper associationin the U.S. with nearly 500daily and weekly newspa-per members.

Let Us Help You Into A New Home This Summer!Let Us Help You Into A New Home This Summer!

I had the pleasure of attending a meeting of a lovely group of ladiesthis past week, members of the Trinity Lutheran Friendship Guild. TheGuild shares a special camaraderie with each other and pursues manyworthwhile endeavors for the benefit of the community. At the end of themeeting we were treated to a delicious fresh apple dessert prepared bythe Guild's officers: Laverne Brink, Carla Hanon, and Rosalee Riedle. Ofcourse, to make a perfect topping for the cake, Ruth Kasten broughtDairy Queen ice cream! Yes, there went the diet out the door! We wereinformed that the dessert was originally a recipe from the late VirginiaSpieth. With no further ado, here is the delectable dessert, along withsome tried and true favorites:

VIRGINIA'S FRESH APPLE CAKE (ALAMODE)

1/4 cup shortening 2 cups sugar2 eggs 1/2 tsp. salt1 tsp. baking powder 1 tsp. baking soda2 cups flour 1 cup chopped nuts4 cups diced raw apples 1 tsp. cinnamon

What's in a Name?

Even though it'swhere champions arecrowned, where ath-letes duel and some-times achieve great-ness, the arenas andstadia of the world aresurprisingly lackingwhen it comes to theirnames.

That's an exaggera-tion, sure. "Curly"Lambeau invented theforward pass and wonsix championships ...that would seem tomeet stadium namerequirements. Also,there are many stadi-ums erected in thename of the fallen,such as Soldier Field.And there are dozens

of college stadiumsand high-school fieldsnamed after locallygreat individuals acrossthe country and theworld.

But when you thinkof many stadiums andfields, they're eithernamed after the teamthat plays there, theguy that paid for theplace or the area inwhich it resides. Butwhen a player firstwalks onto the field atWrigley, is he reallythinking about thechewing-gum magnate?Are they thinkingabout flowers at theRose Bowl? If theywalk into a park namedafter a bank, are theythinking about all of

the money they're mak-ing?

OK, that was a badexample, but I thinkyou get the point.

The U.S. Open,however, has alwayshad the distinction ofhaving great names fortheir venues. For years,the stadium court wasnamed after LouisArmstrong, who --aside from being themost famous jazzmusician to ever play -- was a resident ofQueens, N.Y. For asport whose mostfamous court is simplynamed "Centre Court,"this was certainly avery creative name.

But then, tennis gotserious. Now thenational center for theUnited States TennisAssociation bears thename of Billie JeanKing. In a sport thatwas one of the first tobreak the color barrierand carve out a role forfemales with AltheaGibson, for Billie Jean,who fought for genderequality, the honor hasbeen a fitting tribute.There is little doubt

that the women playerswho make it to theOpen reflect, if evenfor a moment, abouther legacy.

And in its center isa stadium carrying themoniker of a mannamed Arthur Ashe. Itis unlikely, unlesstoday's players also arepart historians, theyunderstand the great-ness of the man thestadium is named for.It's been my experiencethat players often knowlittle about the greatsof their game -- I onceheard an Orioles playerask Frank Robinson ifhe ever played ball.

But if a tennisplayer, tennis fan orcitizen of the world isnot aware of Ashe'sgreatness, how it tran-scends the three grand-slam victories he hadin his career, they real-ly ought to. The man isthe subject of nextweek's column.

EDITOR'S NOTE:DVDs reviewed in this columnwill be available in stores theweek of Sept. 13, 2010.

PICKS OF THE WEEK"Feast" (Unrated) --

"Feast" is one of my guilty-pleasure movies, and it'sabout time that an unrated,director's cut of this 2005low-budget horror movie getsits release. "Feast" was madeas a part of the Ben Affleck/Matt Damon reality series

"Project Greenlight" and fea-tures Judah Friedlander ("30Rock"), Krista Allen("Emmanuelle in Space") andlegendary cowboy actor CluGulager as members of a rag-tag group of seedy barpatrons who are attacked onenight byblood-thirstybeasties.The goryeffectsare muchbetterthanyou'dthinkthey'd be, considering the

paltry $1 million budget, andthe performances are deli-ciously over-the-top. Featuresinclude audio commentary,outtakes and a making-of fea-turette.

"Jacob's Ladder" (R) --If you enjoyed "Inception,"then you owe it to yourself towatch this 1990 psychologi-cal thriller starring TimRobbins. Robbins stars asJacob Singer, a Vietnam Warveteran who suffers frompost-traumatic stress disorder.The affliction is so extremethat he finds himself halluci-nating, reliving hellishmoments from his war pastand also experiencing night-mares while he's awake. Hebegins to suspect that he isexperiencing long-term sideeffects from an experimental

battle drug (codenamed "Ladder")that was adminis-tered to his platoon.With the help andinsight of a friendlychiropractor (DannyAiello), Jacob final-ly is able to makesense of what he isgoing through, lead-

ing him and the film to its

jarring conclusion.WORTH A RENTAL

"Prince of Persia: TheSands of Time" (PG-13) --Jake Gyllenhaal stars asDastan, the titular prince whois accused of a murder hedidn't commit and is on therun along with his fiancee(Gemma Arterton) and amagical dagger that canmanipulate Time. Based on avideo game that was popularabout 10 years ago, "Princeof Persia: The Sands ofTime" is a loud, silly, CGI-laden popcorn flick that has afew fun moments, but is ulti-mately a pretty forgettablefilm -- OK for a rental, butcertainly not a DVD for yourlibrary.

If you’ve everthought about makingyour home more energy-efficient with new win-dows and doors, this isthe time to do it.

So says GeorgeProksha, owner ofSuperior Windows at1420 North Elm Street,Centralia. The reason?Tax Credits of 30 per-cent!

“In order to qualifyfor the Energy Star TaxCredits, you have to buyand install windows thatmeet the criteria,”Proksha explained.“Right now, to qualifyfor the tax credit, thewindows have to have a.30 or less for the Uvalue, and they musthave .30 or less for thesolar heat gain.”

Those values mightsound foreign to theaverage person, butProksha can set you upwith exactly what youneed, if you want newwindows. The same istrue for energy efficientdoors and patio doors.

The credits areregardless of yourincome, and amounts to30 percent off the prod-

uct cost, excluding laborand tax. You won’t getthe credit up front,though–that comes whenyou file your incometaxes. There will be aseparate line item onyour income tax form torecover that credit.

Not all Energy Starwindows qualify for thetax credit. Check withyour dealer.

In recommendingthe best type of window,Proksha advised buyersto look at windows thatare “all welded vinyl”,including sashes andmain frames.

He offered thesepoints to consider whenbuying windows:

The MaterialsWood is good, but

vinyl is final, Prokshasaid.

“You are probablyreplacing old wood oraluminum windows, soit’s plain to see whyvinyl window productsare a better value,” hesaid. “Wood is prone toswelling and rotting. Itwill also require paintingor staining to maintainappeal.”

Wood clad windowsmay just hide problems,he added. Aluminumwill oxidize, and iseither hot or cold to thetouch, depending on theseason (not to mentionpotential condensationproblems). Vinyl win-dows are a great choice,if they are fusion weldedand made with rein-forced UPVC.

The FrameYour windows

should be custom madeto fit your opening with-out the use of expansionpieces. You should nothave to alter your open-ings to fit the windows.

If you are interestedin buying casement orawning windows, makesure that the frames arefully reinforced. Makesure that the windowcompany guarantees inwriting that the windowswill not sag.

Also, look for multi-chambered, fusion weld-ed designs, whichincrease strength andthermo-efficiency. Makesure that the productsyou choose are certified.

The SashThe sash must also

be multi-chambered,fusion welded, and rein-forced.

The sashes can andwill distort over time,resulting in a leaky,poorly-locking window.Quality windows usesteel reinforcement inthe sash to provide extrastrength.

The GlassThermo panes are a

must, said Proksha.

“The more energy-efficient the glass, themore comfortable youwill be while enjoyingreduced gas and electricbills,” he said.

They also reduceoutside noise by up to 30percent while blockingup to 99.5 percent ofharmful UV rays, virtu-ally eliminating fadingdamage to your home’scontents.

Eighty percent of thewindow is glass, “and forthis reason, it makessense to limit considera-tion only to productsoffering the highest, ener-gy-efficient insulatedglass packages,” saidProksha. For more infor-mation call George at 1-800-624-7691. Thisopportunity ends Dec. 31,2010.

You've never hadmuch of a green thumb.You mow the lawn, trimthe hedges and sweep offthe walks, and that's theextent of your gardening.Lately, though, you'vebeen remembering yourgrandmother's beautifulflower gardens andwould like to create oneof your own. You're defi-nitely a beginner andcould use a flower that iseasy to grow. Daisies

may be right up your alley.There are many vari-

eties of daisies. The twomost common are Shastadaisies, which are peren-nials, and Africandaisies, which are annu-als. If you want some-thing that will return sea-son after season, Shastadaisies might be the bet-ter choice.

You can plant daisiesright from the seed. Justselect a spot in your yard

with rich, well-drainedsoil that receives full sunand plant the seed in thesoil, following theinstructions on the pack-et. If you can't find sucha spot, don't worry.Daisies are fairly hardyand can tolerate less-than-ideal conditions.Once you have plantedthe seed, add some gen-eral-purpose fertilizerearly on and you're allset to go.

Daisies in generalrequire little care. Besure you fertilize themonce a month and waterthem as needed. If youhave planted perennialdaisies, look for them tobloom the second year.Once your daisies areestablished, you mayneed to separate themand replant them. Thiswill prevent overcrowd-ing and keep themblooming beautifully.

Daisies are easy togrow and care for, mak-

ing them perfect forbeginning gardeners.Give them a try this year.You're sure to do well,

and as your confidencegrows, you can add othertypes of flowers to yourgarden.

You've always livedin a small home andloved it. With far lesshouse and yard to carefor, you've had moretime to devote to otherinterests. Now thatyou're adding to yourfamily, however, you'renot sure if you can con-tinue to enjoy the perksof small home living.Relax. Unless your fam-ily is growing substan-tially larger, you canremain where you areand make a few changesto maximize yourhome's potential.

Storage can be aproblem in any size ofhome. If your smallhome lacks storagespace, consider creatingsome built-ins. Built-inbookshelves, cabinetsand seating make won-derful additions to anyhome. You just need toplace them in the bestarea possible and becareful not to take uptoo much floor space.

In a home lackingin square footage, mul-tipurpose is the name ofthe game. Make sureyour rooms serve morethan one purpose. Tucka desk in the corner ofyour dining room anduse the space to eat andwork in. Slide yourupright piano into yourentryway and use thespace as a foyer and amusic room. Add abench to your secondfloor landing and usethe space for reading.

The same principleapplies to your furniturechoices. Don't bring apiece into your homeunless it can serve morethan one purpose.

Consider a sleeper sofafor your living room.You can sit on it duringthe day and use it forguests at night. Select acomfortable chair foryour desk. You can sitin it and work at yourdesk and slide it intothe living room whenneeded for extra seat-ing. Switch out yourcoffee table for anottoman. You can use itas a footrest whenwatching TV and asextra seating when com-pany comes over.

Select smallerequipment and acces-sories. Trade out yourbulky TV and computermonitor for flat-screenmodels. Use hangingbedside lamps ratherthan large tablesidelamps. Choose smallerappliances for yourkitchen. You will beamazed at how muchmore room you havejust by using smalleritems.

Light up the roomsin your home and makethem appear larger. Usea variety of lightingsources at variousheights around eachroom. Throw open thedrapes during the dayand let the natural lightin. Bring in some mir-rors to reflect lightaround each room.

Keep your colorpalette light. Dark col-ors tend to close in thespace, while lighter col-ors keep it bright andairy. Reserve darker,bolder colors foraccents to add dramaand depth.

Add to your squarefootage with an outdoor

space. Power-wash thatold patio, add some newfurniture and plants,and presto, you haveextended your livingarea outdoors. Throwopen the French doorsduring parties and giveguests plenty of room tomingle.

If you long to staywhere you are, don't letthe thought of a largerfamily prevent you fromdoing so. Make adjust-ments as needed andmake your home workfor you.

You love rose gar-dens. There is nothingmore soothing thanwalking through a gar-den filled with the love-ly blooms. Now that youhave the space, you'reready to cultivate yourown rose garden. Hereare some tips.

First, you need toselect an appropriate sitefor your rose garden. Itshould receive at leastsix hours of full sun, ifnot more. It should alsodrain well. The soilshould be light andcrumble easily. If itdoesn't, you may need toadd some amendments.

If possible, you shouldtill the area and mix inthe amendments. If not,you will have to add theamendments with eachindividual hole.

Next, you need toselect some roses foryour site. You will havea number of varieties tochoose from. Dependingupon the structures youalready have in the site,you may want to getsome climbers. Oncemature on arbors, chainlink fences and the like,these will add a greatdeal of privacy to a gar-den.

Roses are sold bare

root or container grown,each of which has dif-ferent planting require-ments. With bare rootroses, all you need to dois soak them in water forseveral hours, removeall dead and brokenbranches, and dig holesfor them, a foot downand two to three timesthe width of the rootballs. Replace enoughsoil in the holes to formcones and place theplants on these, fanningout the roots. Then fillthe holes, making surethe graft unions areabove ground level andamending the soil if nec-

essary. With container-grown roses, the processis a bit easier. Just digsome holes, a foot downand two to three timesthe width of the root,insert the plants, makingsure the graft unions areabove ground level, andfill the holes with soil,amending it if necessary.

Once the roses areplanted, you should addsome dirt around themto hold the water andsoak them thoroughly.This will allow the dirt

to settle in. To retainmoisture, you shouldmulch them, makingsure not to pack toomuch around the bases.

Roses are high-maintenance plants thatrequire quality care. Inaddition to wateringthem regularly, you willalso need to spray themwith aninsecticide/fungicideand prune them often.Keep an eye out fordead or dying branchesand diseased leaves and

remove them as soon aspossible.

Don't be surprised ifyour rose garden getsoff to a rocky start. Ittakes time to learn howto care for the plantsproperly. Speak to expe-rienced gardeners andgather as many pointersas you can. You willdevelop a knack for itover time and may addvarieties to your gardenas your confidenceincreases.

Whatever your situ-ation, don't overlook theceiling in your décor.There are a number ofways you can draw theeye upward from usingwallpaper to suspendinggrillwork to installingintricate moldingaround the perimeter ofthe room. The sky's thelimit. Use your imagi-nation and be creative!

Are your kitchenand bathroom looking alittle ho-hum? Couldthey use a little pep?Why not paint them?Paint is an inexpensivefix for rooms that lacklife. Not sure what col-ors to use? Read on tolearn more about thelatest color trends inkitchens and bath-rooms.

In the majority ofhouses today, thekitchen is the heart ofthe home. People notonly cook there, butgather together there toeat and engage in other

activities while enjoy-ing each other's compa-ny. The kitchen is ahigh-energy, high-traf-fic room, and to reflectthat, many homeownersare now using bright,bold colors on thecountertops, walls andfloors. Bright reds andoranges, which conveyexcitement, passion andenergy, are not uncom-mon in kitchens thesedays. Most kitchens cantake these bursts ofbold color because theydon't have a lot of wallspace and feature neu-tral cabinetry and appli-

ances.Homeowners who

aren't into bold reds andoranges have a varietyof other choices. Theycan stick to warm tonesand select a more subtleshade, like copper,henna or ginger. Theycan go cooler and selectan apricot or yellow.They can move to cooltones entirely and selecta silvery blue or gray-ish green.

To ensure theyselect a color they canlive with for a longtime, designers advisehomeowners to avoid

colors used in restau-rants. While they mightlike the colors they seewhile dining out, theymay not like them intheir home day in andday out.

As for bathrooms,homeowners no longerneed to stick to sooth-ing shades of white,gray and blue. They cango bolder and selectcolors that will saygood morning and helpthem wake up. Becausebathrooms in generalare smaller and haveless wall space, home-owners may choose areally bright color likefire engine red or arich, deep color like

chocolate brown.Homeowners who

prefer pops of boldcolor may select a neu-tral shade for the coun-tertop, walls and floorand use colorful towels,rugs and accessories.They can even changeout their accessoriesfrom time to time togive their bathroom adifferent look.

Homeowners whouse their bathrooms formakeup applicationmay want to stick toshades that will flattertheir skin tone. Mostskin tones have a pinkundertone, so warm col-ors with a hint of pinkare ideal for the bath-

room. Yellow distortsskin tone, so homeown-ers should stay awayfrom shades with a hintof yellow.

These are just someof the current colortrends in kitchen andbathrooms. Of course,the choice is entirelyyours. If you hate boldcolors, you can go formore subdued tones inyour kitchen. If youadore yellow, you canbreak the rules andpaint your bathroom alemony yellow. Justmake sure that you canlive with whatever youchoose, or you may berepainting sooner thanyou thought.

A New Song

I remember a greatuncle of mine wholoved to sing on occa-sion. As a kid itseemed to me that thoseoccasions were usuallywhen he was drinking.In between giggles, hewould sing and maybedo an Irish jig. But itwas usually the sameold song and he possi-bly wasted most of hislife doing time in the

penitentiary for pettycrimes. When I think ofhim, I shed tears won-dering where he isspending eternity.

AC loves to sing anew song. When hecomes to chapel at thecorrectional facility andjoins in the singingpraises and thanksgiv-ing to the Lord, a smilelights up his face. ACused to love to sing theold song of wine andwomen. Raucous rap

music used to help psy-che him up before eachof his crime sprees. Butin prison AC heard theGood News of God'smercy and forgivenessthrough Christ and,though still incarcerat-ed, he sings a new song.

My daughter andson-in-law attend achurch fellowship in theNashville area calledNew Song. I love toworship there. Most ofthe congregation ismade up of young peo-ple in their teens, 20's,and 30's who love toexuberantly sing a newsong unto the Lord.

The psalmist Davidtalked about a new song."Rejoice in the Lord, Oyou righteous! Forpraise from the upright isbeautiful . . . sing to Hima new song . . . He hasput a new song in my

mouth . . . O sing to theLord a new song!"(Psalm 33:1-5; 40:3;96:1)

Paul and Silas werethrown in prison for theirtestimony of JesusChrist. At midnight theysang a new song unto theLord from their prisoncell. God sent an earth-quake and their chainsfell off - they walked outfree! (Acts16:16-31) Nomatter how dark circum-stances may seem, sing anew song of praise tothae Lord! Your circum-stances may not immedi-ately change but yourspirit will be free andGod will light up yourdarkness.

In Fox's Book ofMartyrs there are numer-ous historical accountsof Christ's followers whobravely went to theirdeath singing a new

song. A.W. Tozer wrote,"It cannot be denied thatthe way of the cross isunpopular and that itbrings a measure ofreproach upon those whotake it. The learned his-torians tell of councilsand persecutions . . . butin the midst of all . . .were a few who saw theeternal city in full viewand managed to walk onearth as if they hadalready gone to heaven.These were the joyousones who got littlerecognition from theworld in institutionalizedreligion and might havegone altogether unno-ticed except for theirsinging.

"Unsung but singing:this is the short and sim-ple story of many todaywhose names are notknown beyond the smallcircle of their own com-

pany. Their gifts are notmany or great, but theirsong is sweet and clear!"

Are you tired ofyour old song? You canhave a new song.Experience the mercyand forgiveness of theLord. "I will sing of themercies of the Lord for-ever; with my mouth willI make known yourfaithfulness to all gener-ations. For I have said,"Mercy shall be built upforever" (Psalm89:1).There is a new songawaiting those whoreceive redemptionthrough Christ's sacrificeon the cross. (Revelation5:9) Sing a new song!

"I believe in evidence. Ibelieve in observation, measure-ment, and reasoning, confirmedby independent observers. I'llbelieve anything, no matter howwild and ridiculous, if there isevidence for it. The wilder andmore ridiculous something is,however, the firmer and moresolid the evidence will have tobe." -- Isaac Asimov

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Careful,Lamb. Taking on too many tasks at onetime can cause you to create more snarlseach time you try to work your waythrough the tangled mass. Best to handleone job at a time.TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Makingbold moves is what Bovines do. But thebest moves are made with lots of data toprovide backup just in case you charge intoan unexpected complication. A newrelationship shows promise.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Sharingcredit for a job well done is easy for you todo, but not necessarily for your partner.But fair is fair. Don’t let yourself be deniedthe right to have your contributionsrecognized.CANCER (June 21 to July 22)Communication is important to help bridgea gap that can lead to problems at homeand/or at the workplace. Find a way to getyour points across before the breachbecomes a chasm.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Relationships,whether business or personal, need to bewatched carefully for signs of trouble. Anynegative indications should be dealt withbefore they become too burdensome.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)Congratulations. A more positive aspecthighlights much of the Virgo’s week. Youshould find others more receptive to yoursuggestions, and also more likely to act onthem.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Allwork and little play could wear the Libra’s

usually positive attitude down. Take somemuch-needed time off. Perhaps a shortjaunt with someone special is the way togo.SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21)This is a good time to expand your viewfrom the known to the unfamiliar.Confronting new situations could bechallenging, but ultimately also could beextremely satisfying.SAGITTARIUS (November 22 toDecember 21) Giving advice to those whojust want validation for what they’re doingcan be unsettling. So back off and saveyour counsel for those who reallyappreciate it.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January19) Cultivating a more positive attitude notonly makes you feel better about yourself,but also has an upbeat effect on thosearound you, especially that certainsomeone.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18)Keeping the lines of communication openand accessible is the key to establishing theright foundation on which to build animportant and meaningful relationship.Stay with it.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Beforeagreeing to act on a request, consider usingyour perceptive Piscean talents to see whatmight lie hidden beneath its surface andcould possibly cause problems later on.BORN THIS WEEK: You’re a friend who,if you err at all, does so on the side ofconcern for those you care about.
