2B | JUNE 25, 2020 | COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL Shroud from B1 The cloth bears a faint yel- lowed image of a bearded, cru- cified man with bloodstains that match the wounds suffered by Jesus of Nazareth as recorded in all four of the Bible’s gospel nar- ratives. Experts who have stud- ied the cloth describe the man as muscular and tall with a height between 5’7” to 6’2”. There are two timelines in- volving the Shroud’s history. The first is before 1356 and based on circumstantial evidence, legend, art and coins. The second time- line is after 1356 when the histo- ry is documented and accepted by historians. The cloth has been “pro- tected” for six centuries. It was hidden in a wall for more than 400 years then survived the me- dieval crusades, countless wars, numerous fires, and even Hitler. Since 1578, it has been preserved in the royal chapel of the cathe- dral of San Giovanni Battista in Turin, Italy. Rev. Boyle said the Catholic Church has not taken a formal position on the Shroud’s authen- ticity as Christ’s buri- al cloth. He explained, “Many studies have been made of the original shroud, including carbon dating, and the re- sults are interpreted both in favor of and against authenticity. The fact remains, however, that no one has come up with a satisfactory explanation of how the image adheres to the cloth. There is no evidence of paint pigment. Also, the image is a negative. If one in- verts the image, (visitors can try this with a cell phone camera) one can see very clearly the im- age of a man’s face and the rest of his body, including the wounds of a man who was scourged and nailed to cross. ” He added, “If it is a medieval fake, one has to explain how, be- fore the advent of photography, the faker would have thought of however strengthen one’s faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection, ” he said. As an OLPH parishioner and Catholic convert Lori Eckstine said she is grateful for the op- portunity to experience the replica of the Turin Shroud. “The Shroud is not what gives me faith in Je- sus Christ as the Messiah Savior who was cruci- fied, died, and rose again because there is ample scientific and historical evidence to support those, ” Eck- stine said. “The Shroud accu- rately depicts a Roman scourg- ing and crucifixion in the era of Christ’s life. Having the Shroud to view brings the immense suffering and sacrifice of Jesus within reach of my human sens- es as if I was there. ” Rev. Boyle said the signifi- cance of the shroud to church members and to the Catholic “Having the Shroud to view brings the immense suffering and sacrifice of Jesus within reach of my human senses as if I was there.” this technique. Measurements of the wounds on the body line up with the instruments of torture that would have been used by the Roman soldiers. “The Church does not take a formal position on the matter since our faith does not depend on whether or not the cloth kept in Turin is truly the burial shroud Our Lord was wrapped in after His crucifixion.

Safety tips for cyclists: Bicycle riding is fun, healthy, and a great way to be independent. But it is important to remember that a bicycle is not a toy; it’s a vehicle! Be cool – follow some basic safety tips when you ride. Church reinforces their faith that Jesus is the Son of God made man. “We believe Christ truly lived, died and rose again. He suffered for our sins and became our Redeemer, ” he said. “To con- template the wounds that were inflicted on His body moves us to respond with love and com- punction for our sins and to be ready to lay down our lives for Him and, as Jesus did, for our neighbor. It is also very moving to think that the face we see in the image could be the face of the God-made-man. ” Science has not been able to render a clear verdict on its authenticity, so the Shroud re- mains one of the world’s great- est unsolved mysteries. OLPH members invite those interested in this famous historic artifact to stop by and see it before the end of July. Parish staff and pa- rishioners are happy to answer visitors’ questions. Energy assistance available to Lane County residents In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the federal office of Health and Human Services (HHS) has released ener- gy assistance funding for income-qualified house- holds. A total of $575,000 has been made available for Lane County residents. This funding, known as LP20 CARES, is intended to assist households that have been impacted by COVID19, either finan- cially or due to health. This funding is separate from the pre-existing Low-In- come Home Energy Assis- tance Program (LIHEAP) and households that have already received LIHEAP funding between October 1, 2019 and the present are encouraged to apply for LP20 CARES. The program provides qualifying households with a one-time payment toward their energy bill. It may be applied to elec- tricity, natural gas, home heating oil, propane, wood pellets and wood. The LP20 CARES pro- gram opened in Lane County on June 8. To qualify for LP20 CARES, a household’s current gross monthly in- come must be at or below 60 percent of Oregon’s me- dian income. A household of one person can have a gross monthly income as high as $2,165. A house- hold of four can have a gross monthly income of $4,163. The amount of assis- tance a household receives depends on a number of factors. The program pays the assistance directly into a household’s utili- ty account as a one-time payment that ranges from $250-$550. Interested households may call one of the agencies listed be- low to be placed on a LP20 CARES waiting list. Households may place themselves on the waiting list for funding by contact- ing a partner agency be- low, or visiting www.lane- county.org/LIHEAPCares. Households that do have a senior citizen (60 and over) can contact Cottage Grove Senior Connections at 541-682-7810. House- holds that don’t have a se- nior citizen can contact: Community Sharing in Cottage Grove at 541-942- 6492. Many bicycle-related crashes resulting in injury or death are associated with the bicyclist’s behavior, including such things as not wearing a bicycle helmet, riding into a street without stopping, turning left or swerving into traffic that is coming from behind, running a stop sign, and riding the wrong way in traffic. To maximize your safety, always wear a helmet AND follow the rules of the road. Rules of the Road – Bicycling on the Road Bicycles in many States are considered vehicles, and cyclists have the same rights and the same responsibilities to follow the rules of the road as motorists. When riding, always: > Go With the Traffic Flow. Ride on the right in the same direction as other vehicles. Go with the flow – not against it. > Obey All Traffic Laws. A bicycle is a vehicle and you’re a driver. When you ride in the street, obey all traffic signs, signals, and lane markings. > Yield to Traffic When Appropriate. Almost always, drivers on a smaller road must yield (wait) for Safe Riding Tips Before using your bicycle, make sure it is ready to ride. You should always inspect your bike to make sure all parts are secure and working properly. Remember to: traffic on a major or larger road. If there is no stop sign or traffic signal and you are coming from a smaller roadway (out of a driveway, from a sidewalk, a bike path, etc.), you must slow down and look to see if the way is clear before proceeding. This also means yielding to pedestrians who have already entered a crosswalk. > Be Predictable. Ride in a straight line, not in and out of cars. Signal your moves to others. > Stay Alert at All Times. Use your eyes AND ears. Watch out for potholes, cracks, wet leaves, storm grates, railroad tracks, or anything that could make you lose control of your bike. You need your ears to hear traffic and avoid dangerous situations; don’t wear a headset when you ride. > Wear a Properly Fitted Bicycle Helmet. Protect your brain, save your life. For more information see the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publication “Easy Steps to Properly Fit a Bicycle Helmet. ” > Adjust Your Bicycle to Fit. Stand over your bicycle. There should be 1 to 2 inches between you and the top tube (bar) if using a road bike and 3 to 4 inches if a mountain bicycle. The seat should be level front to back. The seat height should be adjusted to allow a slight bend at the knee when the leg is fully extended. The handlebar height should be at the same level with the seat. > Check Your Equipment. Before riding, inflate tires properly and check that your brakes work. > See and Be Seen. Whether daytime, dawn, dusk, foul weather, or at night, you need to be seen by others. Wearing white has not been shown to make you more visible. Rather, always wear neon, fluorescent, or other bright colors when riding day or night. Also wear something that reflects light, such as reflective tape or markings, or flashing lights. Remember, just because you can see a driver doesn’t mean the driver can see you. > Control Your Bicycle. Always ride with at least one hand on the handlebars. Carry books and other items in a bicycle carrier or backpack. > Watch for and Avoid Road Hazards. Be on the lookout for hazards such as potholes, broken glass, gravel, puddles, leaves, and dogs. All these hazards can cause a crash. If you are riding with friends and you are in the lead, yell out and point to the hazard to alert the riders behind you. > Look Before Turning. When turning left or right, always look behind you for a break in traffic, then signal before making the turn. Watch for left- or right-turning traffic. > Watch for Parked Cars. Ride far enough out from the curb to avoid the unexpected from parked cars (like doors opening, or cars pulling out). Sidewalk versus Street Riding The safest place for bicycle riding is on the street, where bicycles are expected to follow the same rules of the road as motorists and ride in the same direction. > Children less than 10 years old, however, are not mature enough to make the decisions necessary to safely ride in the street. > > Children less than 10 years old are better off riding on the sidewalk. > Avoid Riding at Night. It is far more dangerous to ride at night than during the day because you are harder for others to see. If you have to ride at night, wear something that makes you more easily seen by others. Make sure you have reflectors on the front and rear of your bicycle (white lights on the front and red rear reflectors are required by law in many States), in addition to reflectors on your tires, so others can see you. For anyone riding on a sidewalk: Check the law in your State or jurisdiction to make sure sidewalk riding is allowed. Watch for vehicles coming out of or turning into driveways. Stop at corners of sidewalks and streets to look for cars and to make sure the drivers see you before crossing. Enter a street at a corner and not between parked cars. Alert pedestrians that you are near by saying, “Excuse me, ” or, “Passing on your left, ” or use a bell or horn.
