On Sunday, July 31 at 2p.m. Scioto County Habitatfor Humanity will dedicateits 8th home. The home islocated on Franklin Avenuein Portsmouth.

Ground was broken onthe project in late 2010.

In 1996 Scioto CountyHabitat For Humanity wasformed to construct decentaffordable housing avail-able to deserving families.

To date Scioto CountyHabitat For Humanity hasrenovated two homes inPortsmouth and construct-ed two homes inPortsmouth. The habitathas constructed two homesin New Boston and onehome in South Webster,and are in the beginningstages of constructing it'sthird home in Portsmouthand eighth home over all.

Earlier this year thegroup broke ground for its9th home on Grace Street

in New Boston. "I am truly blessed and I

am grateful for everythingmy family is about to gothrough. This is one ofthose things you thoughtwould never happen, buthere it is. I thank Habitatfor Humanity, without Godthe organization would notbe here and without them Iwould not be here," ChristiGambill future habitathomeowner said at theground breaking.

The mission statement ofHabitat for Humanity is to,work in partnership withGod and people every-where, from all walks oflife, to develop communi-ties with people in need bybuilding and renovatinghouses so that there aredecent houses in decentcommunities in whichevery person can experi-ence God’s love and canlive and grow into all thatGod intends.

Habitat is an organiza-tion that partners withdeserving families. Habitat

volunteers construct eachhome, often times usingdonated materials.

Once the home is con-structed a mortgage isplaced on the home for theprice of constructing thehome. The family isresponsible for payingmonthly to habitat. Thatmoney is used by the orga-nization to construct morehomes.

According to SciotoCounty Habitat forHumanity's website(www.sciotohabitat.org),“Habitat is committed toending poverty housing,one home at a time, bybuilding

a decent home for a fam-ily in need. Scioto CountyHabitat for Humanity hasfound its message of offer-ing a “hand up” not a“handout” has been wellreceived in our community.Partnerships have beenformed, and continue to beformed, which enable suc-cessful completion of this

ADVERTISE IN THE CLASSIFIEDS!

Whether it is in poolhalls, barber shops, orlocal eateries, the commu-nity choice concerningtopic of fares usuallyrevolves around politics.While most will secondguess, condemn theprocess, or flat out dis-agree, the ritual and rightof critiquing our electedofficials has become anAmerican rite of passage.That brings up the next ritewhich asks the question,“Do political candidateshave the right to campaignon promises that they don’tkeep?” I think we areabout to discover this oneright here in our own backyard.

While campaigning forPresident in 2007, a younghopeful named Obamacame to the Southern Ohioregion peddling economichope for a land that hadlived too long on brokenpromises. His mantra withthe citizens of a state heneeded to win to becomeour next leader and chiefwas relatively simple. “Ifyou vote for me… I willwhole heartedly support a2 billion dollar loan guar-antee that will maintainand create thousands ofjobs in the field of nuclearenergy for this region thatwill once again bring pros-perity back to SouthernOhio.” He was so bold onhis promise that he put it inwriting to be published forall to see. In fact, it is oneof our Presidents mostrobust proclamations’ ofrecord. As with mostassurances of this kindthere would of course bethe usual conditionsattached including a dead-line to deliver. That closingdate has come and goneand is now dangerouslyclose to evaporating forev-er. As voting citizens, wedid our part to givePresident Obama a state hehad to have to win. It’snow time for him to returnthat promise so we canalso win!

Several weeks ago localbusinessman Jeff Albrechtdecided to take mattersinto his own hands andtackle the situation face toface. Assembling a consor-tium of business leaders aswell as media representa-tives, a trip to our nation’scapital would be a stancethat instead of the usualshuffling of paper, thistime, real people withstrong wills and longmemories would nowcross the politician’s desk.Informally calling us “TheScioto Seven,” it was a hotTuesday afternoon that weall climbed into a plane atthe Greater PortsmouthRegional Airport headedfor a destination to a uni-verse known for grip, grinand spin; Washington DC.Serving as our pilot as wellas airport representative,Mike Chasteen put us onthe runway of Dulles injust about an hour. As oursmall legion emerged, itwould be on to our hoteland then a nighttime walk-ing tour of one of theworld’s most remarkablecities. Ensconced in indeli-ble history and breathtak-ing architecture, you sud-denly understood whythere was no wasted ink inall of those history books

that now prepared you forthis first time moment.

A full agenda of meet-ings greeted us early onWednesday morning. Ourfirst would be withRepublican Senator RobPortman at his office at9:30 am. He spent about45 minutes with us re-exploring all of the logis-tics of the deal and sharedwith us some intimatedetails as well as his pas-sion for seeing thecovenant get done. From apersonal level, I found hisdemeanor to be a verysoothing influence to ourcause and left feeling wehad delivered a strongalliance to the cause.

Our next encounter ofthe politico kind would beSenator Jean Schmidt. Aswe reached her office ataround 11:00 am, the staffand Senator were all readyand prepped for our visit.As with Senator Portman,Jean Schmidt was non-stop in her dialogue anddemeanor of enforcing thereason we were now there.Crossing party lines or anyparty or gathering, youcan’t help to feel that shegets some of her best workdone outside her Senateoffice. She promised uswithin the next few days topersonally sit down andrelay the urgency of the sit-uation with her goodfriend President Obama.After about 25 minutes,we again left with the feel-ing that we had a leastbeen heard and become amatter of record.

After lunch we hadhoped to meet with theDepartment of Energy, butall of our requests to sitdown with them and dis-cuss the centrifuge projectwere denied.

What would surely be

our most uncertain envi-ronment was the late after-noon appointment withDemocratic SenatorSharrod Brown. Knowingthe reason of why we werethere, he entered the for-mer Obama conferenceroom like the Tasmaniandevil and a wall of ver-biage. After all the smalltalk died down, he quicklycut to the chase. He 100%shared our concern, butthere were mediating cir-cumstances in the processthat had slowed it down.While defending your owncan be hard, I felt he knewthe importance of thepromise. He went on toexplain while perhaps noton the timetable we allenvisioned, he left us withthe final thought ‘It will bedone.”

Flying high above theclouds that Wednesdayevening on the returnhome we had alreadyreceived some emails fromlocal citizens that we werejust wasting our time. Inmy opinion, sitting aroundand doing nothing is thebiggest waste of ourhuman resources. Puttingreal faces on 4,000 jobsand the fact that local busi-nesses were investing inour local community onpromises from the govern-ment demands the utmostof personalized urgency.Many thanks to JeffAlbrecht, Scott Schmidt,

Andy Glockner, ChrisLute, Mike Chasteen, andPortsmouth Mayor DavidMalone for taking a day tomake a difference.

While the jury may stillbe out on the decision ofwhat happens next on thismost timely of issues, atleast the voices for thedefense have spoken, butwith the vow to never rest.

IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!

Dear Valued Customer,

I wanted to personallytake this opportunity tothank you for your years of

support and dedication toLife Ambulance Service.You may have heard that I

recently sold the compa-ny. For nearly 26 years Iwatched the service growfrom one ambulance towhat it is today. What aremarkable journey, thatwithout

God's guidance and with-out the support of peoplelike you would have nevertaken place. It taught me alot about customer service,local values, and how toprovide real services localpeople can utilize.

My decision to sell wasvery difficult because of thelove I have for the healthcare field. Operating anEmergency MedicalService 24/7 for 26 yearshas been rewarding but hasalso been an enormousresponsibility. I plan to con-tinue in the health care mar-ket at a little slower pace. Iam excited about the oppor-tunity to introduce my newcompany Life Care HomeMedical Solutions, LLC.

I will apply the 26 yearsof experience gained fromoperating the ambulanceservice to this family ofcompanies. When I startedLife Ambulance Service Irecruited top local talent tomake sure we were capableof providing world classservice. This is the sameapproach I am taking withthe Life Care family ofcompanies.

Sincerely,Mike Pistole, Owner

The two battled side byside the entire lap with Car-rier taking the lead comingto the white flag! Dohmbattled hard on the last lapto try to get back by Carrierbut came a car length shortas Eddie Carrier Jr. cameacross the checkered flag towin the Southern Show-down!
