CONTINUED
Minister’s Comer
prayer on June 8, 1783 at his
headquarters in Newburgh,
New York. It was to be circu
lated to the governors and
states of the new nation that
the whole all citizens might
pray together and recognize a
higher power than them
selves.
In the midst of our politi
cal name calling, “over
blown sense of importance
and just lack of spiritual
awareness Washington’s
prayer call us to humility be
fore God and one another.
Let us Pray:
“Almighty God: We make
our earnest prayer that Thou
wilt keep the United States in
Thy holy protection; that
thou wilt incline the hearts of
the citizens to cultivate a
spirit of subordination and
obedience to government,
and entertain a brotherly af
fection and love for one an
other and for their
fellow-citizens of the United
States at large. And finally
that Thou wilt most gra
ciously be pleased to dispose
us all to do justice, to love
mercy and to demean our
selves with that charity, hu
mility and pacific temper of
mind which were the charac
teristics of the Divine Author
of our blessed religion with
out a humble imitation of
whose example in these
things we can never hope to
be a happy nation. Grant our
supplication, we beseech
Thee, through Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen.”

July 3 Independence
Day celebration at
Holy Family
Holy Family Church will
celebrate Independence Day
on Sunday, July 3 with the
assigned Bible readings and
prayers. Rector George Yan-
dell will preach. He will ad
dress the question: How did
the creation of a government
“of the people, by the people,
for the people” foretell the
creation of the Episcopal
Church? Hint: The Protestant
Episcopal Church faced the
daunting task of organizing
13 independent state church
bodies into a national church
federation after the revolu
tionary war.
George Yandell was called
by the vestry in July 2012 as
Rector having served as
Priest-in-Charge at Holy
Family since August 1, 2010.
He came from Calvary Epis
copal Church in Memphis,
Tennessee where he served as
Senior Associate to the Rec
tor for eight years. Ordained
for 43 years, George has
served churches in Georgia,
Tennessee, Arkansas, and
Texas.
The Episcopal Church of
the Holy Family is located in
Jasper off of Cove Road at
100 Griffith Road. Sunday
services are 8 a.m and 10:30

June 26-July 2
June 26th:
On this day in 1991, the Charlotte Hor
nets made UNLV power forward, Larry
Johnson, the first overall pick of the NBA
Draft. An NCAA champion in 1990 and
1991 Naismith College Player of the Year,
Johnson spent five seasons in Charlotte.
His time with the Hornets featured a
Rookie of the Year award, two All-Star se
lections, 7,405 points, 3,479 rebounds and
1,553 assists.
June 27th:
On this day in 1993, New York Mets
pitcher, Anthony Young, set a forgettable
major league record by losing his 24th con
secutive game. The Mets built an early 2-0
lead over the St. Louis Cardinals and
Young lasted seven innings, four of which
were scoreless. However, he gave up eight
hits and two baserunners as the Cards ral
lied for a 5-3 win. Young’s streak reached
27 straight defeats before finally coming to
an end on July 28th.
June 28th:
On this day in 1908, Chicago Cubs
shortstop, Joe Tinker, became the first
major league player to steal home twice in
the same game. Tinker was ruled safe both
times while going one for four with an RBI
and walk. The Cubs scored seven unan
swered runs over four innings before plow
ing through the Cincinnati Reds, 11-1.
June 29th:
On this day in 1969, the Cubs organiza
tion held a special event known as “Billy
Williams Day”, which took place during a
doubleheader with the Cardinals at Wrigley
Field. Williams, who served as Chicago’s
left fielder from 1959 until 1974, surpassed
Stan Musial as the National League’s all-
time leader for consecutive games played
with 896. The 31-year-old went one for
four with a run scored in the first game be
fore going off in the second. Williams went
four for five with three RBIs and three runs
in the back end of this two-bill. Chicago
swept St. Louis by 3-1 and 12-1 finals.
June 30th:
On this day in 1962, Los Angeles
Dodgers pitcher, Sandy Koufax, recorded
the first of his four-career no-hitters. Ko
ufax faced 30 batters, allowed five baserun
ners and registered 13 strikeouts as the
Dodgers blanked the expansion New York
Mets, 5-0.
July 1st:
On this day in 1917, Cincinnati Reds
pitcher, Fred Toney, posted two complete-
game victories in a doubleheader with the
Pittsburgh Pirates. Toney went 2-0 while
allowing the fewest combined hits in a
major league two-bill. He gave up a total
of six hits in both contests as Cincy swept
the series with 4-1 and 5-1 wins.
July 2nd:
On this day in 1930, Chicago White Sox
left fielder, Carl Reynolds, became the sec
ond player in major league history to
homer in three straight innings. This
achievement took place during the second
game of a doubleheader against the New
York Yankees. Reynolds had a pair of in-
side-the-park home runs, one in the first
and the other in the third, with the latter
going for three runs. He also had another
three-run blast that cleared the wall in the
second and each homer came with two
outs. Reynolds went five for six with eight
RBIs and four runs as the White Sox routed
the Yanks, 15-4, to split the series.

Race
Report
Ion getting into each other in
turn 1 and both spinning out.
The race resumed on lap 66
and on the restart, Truex
took the lead from Hamlin
and barely was able to hold
him off to win stage 1.
Stage 2 officially started
on lap 97 and Truex would
continue to lead the race.
The 5th caution flew on lap
119 for rain but it wasn’t
heavy enough to stop the
race though. Shortly after the
next restart, however, there
was lightning again and that
did stop the race. The race
was delayed for over 2 hours
but fortunately, they were
able to get back racing. The
race resumed a quarter past
10 PM with Hamlin still
leading. Truex would get by
Hamlin for the lead and
would barely hold him off
again to win stage 2 as well.
Stage 3 officially started
on lap 193 with Truex still in
the lead after being the first
one off pit road during the
stage caution. His teammate
Kyle Busch would pass him
to take the a few laps after
the restart. The 8th caution
flew on lap 205 for Blaney
spinning off turn 4. The race
resumed again on lap 210
and Kyle Busch continued to
lead. However, on lap 245,
Elliott on fresher tires than
Busch, passed him to take
the lead. People started to
make what they thought
would be their last pit stop of
the race and during this set
of pit stops, the caution came
out for Buescher’s right rear
tire coming off the car.
Busch and Elliott cycled
back out into the lead after
everyone else that didn’t pit
yet made their pit stop. The
race resumed with 39 to go
and Elliott passed Busch
back for the lead. Elliott was
going to cruise to victory
until the caution came out
with 9 to go for Bilicki blow
ing an engine and leaving oil
on the track. Elliott chose to
not pit and was able to hold
the lead on the restart and
went on to win the Ally 400
at Nashville.
Overall, this was another
pretty solid race. There were
different leaders, lot of bat
tles for position on track, and
some great battles for the
lead, it was definitely hard to
pass but drivers were able to
run different lanes on the
track, so it was still possible
to pass and that still led to
some great battles on track.
Next week, the NASCAR
Cup series heads to Road
America, which is another
road course that was just
added to the Cup schedule
last year. Last year’s race
was good, so we’ll see if it
will be good again and if El
liott can go back-to-back in
wins.
