As late as last \\eek, a de novo hearing on the plant's air permit had been scheduled to be heard by the Ohio Environmental Re' iew Appeals Commission in June which seemed to make AMP':- decision even more surprising, to opponents and supporters alike. The NRDC was the lead counsel on the appeals and NRDC Attorney Shannon Fisk said his organization applauded AMP's decision to aban- don the coal-fired po\\er plant in favor of researching an alternative such as a gas-fired facilit). The decision was made by AMP's Board of Trustees and Its 81 member communities \\ hich would've purchased po\\er from the plant. AMP c1ted n recent 37 percent increase in the cost to builcl the coal-fired power plant as a reason for abandomng the project. "1 think reality caught up to them," Fisk said. "We've seen throughout the county that people beginning to look ••• are realizing coal plants are a bad investment. ..costs have skyrocketed so much and there's so much uncertainty \\ ith them. We pointed out a number of year~ ago that this plnnt would've been a costly dinosaur. We're glad AMP's memhcr communities have realized it.'' Fisk said as for the legal battle over the plant's permits, he is assuming that is over, assuming Ai\IP will withdrawal those permits Rusty! Rusty the Snowman is making his comeback in downtown Middleport for the Christmas shopping season. The prim1t1ve metal snowmen have been as controversial as any snowman ever, and it seems he's either loved or hated. Regardless, the Middleport Community Association hopes merchants who purchased the snowman decorations will personalize them and put them out again for all to see. Diana Ingels of Ingels' Radio Shack put the finishing touches on that store's snowman Wednesday - complete with a cellular telephone to promote the store's primary bus1ness. Village workers put the finishing holiday touches on Dave Diles Park earlier this week Now, for the first time ever, the depot in the park has bean decorated just for the holiday.

SHEERAN ASSOCIATED PRESS ROCKY RIVER - A Greek immigrant family grateful for opportunities in America resumed a qurutercentury tradition Thursday by offering' fi·ee Thanksgiving dinners at its restaurant, welcoming anyone who wanted a holiday meal and company. Michael's FamilyRestaurant prepared 2,500 pounds of turkey for the annual crowd that often tops I ,000 people in this upscale Cleveland suburb alongside Lake Erie. The Petrakis family invited regular customers. the homeless, jobless and seniors. The dinner marked a return to a holiday tradition for Michael Petrakis, 58, and his family. The restaurant served free dinners for 25 years but skipped last year because he had traveled to spend time with his dying mother in Crete. His mother insisted that the tradition resume and Petrakis agreed. dedicating the 26th dinner in her memory. ''I promised myself and I promised to her. next year I will do it." he said. With a family, home and business. Petrakis said. "I live the American dream" and the free dinner is a chance to show gratitude.

Bob Onyak, 65. of Amherst, had holiday dinner plans at his daughter's but added a stop at the restaurant for the holiday environment he has savored in the past. ''l enjoy being with the people here and the family atmosphere and the food is good:' he said. An added plus for Onyak: regular customers and others were welcome, meaning there, was no stigma for those who came because they were unable to afford a Thanksgiving dinner or didn't have anyone to share it with. "I think it makes a difference," he said . Rocky River, with upscale lakeview homes and a poverty level below 2 percent, might seem an unlikely location for a free holiday dinner, but the community has a caring attitude and the dinner shows that. said Carole Calladine, city director of senior services. "I know this has been a real down economy for many people," she said. The dinner reflects Rocky. River's hometown traditions, Mayor Pamela Bobst said.

I Nationql Day of Listening BY TRAVIS LOLLER ASSOCIATED PRESS A national oral history project is trying to start a new tradition for Black Friday. Instead of hunting for bargains. StoryCorps suggests families sit down together and talk about their lives on a National Day of Listening. Amanda Rigel!. a 30-year-old middle school teacher from Johnson City, Tenn .. interviewed her grandmother. who was 89 at the time. for the first National Day of Listening last year. ''She was reluctant at first.'' Rigell said. "She doesn't really talk ab~out herself." But then she talked for more than two and a half hours. "She talked about her early education. She went to a tiny little school,! think there was only one other person there for a while. And she talked about drinking fresh milk from a cow. I guess that shouldn't have surprised me, but it did," Rigel! said. nonprofit project StoryCorps is that seeks to preserve the stories of ordinary people. Rigel! first learned about it when she heard some of those stories broadcast on public radio during her morning commute. She had already interviewed two people at StoryCorps recording booths when she and her father decided to interview her grandmother at home. ''I'm really glad we did it last year because her health has been declin- a ing." she said. "There was a while last month when she couldn't speak." Rige!l said her grandmother. who lives in Campbell County near the Kentucky border. was around for all the "big events" of her childhood. Some of her fondest memories of her grandmother involve home cooked meals and "amazing" buttermilk biscuits. But there were a lot of things Rigell didn't know about her. Rigell recorded the interview on her computer and plans to give copies as Christmas presents. "She ha:, seven kids and I· m pretty sure there's at least one story about each of them." she said. Rigell will be with relatives in Oklahoma this Thanksgiving and is thinking of interviewing two young cousins. ages 6 and 8. ''It should be interesting to listen to when they're J 8.'' she said. Meredith Sullins of Nashville plans to interview her grandfather this year. The 25-year-old doesn't have children yet, but when she does she wants them to be able to knov.• something about the man who helped raise her. "I 'm probably going to ask about his childhood. and about my dad when he was little. and about his relationship with my grandmother. They've been married almost 65 years:· Sullins said.

She will also interview her grandmother if there's time. Sullins said one of her earliest memories is of her grandfather jumping. fully clothed. into a swimming pool to rescue her when she was 2 years old. Another is the time he took her to buy her first car and let her d1ive it home, even though she didn't have her license yet. But she doesn't know much about her 87-year-old grandfather's life before she was born. "He doesn't talk a lot about his past::· she said. "He's the quiet, ha· · one. She does know that he grew u 1\,/ashvtlle with five siblings and ·left school in the eight grade during the Depression. (He later earned a GED certificate.) Sullins said she first learned of StoryCorps, like Rigell. when she heard some of the interviews on the radio. She found out about the National Day of Listening through an e-mail and tliou!!.ht it sounded like the perfect opportunity to interview her grandfather. ' "He's had a lot of health problems recently," she said. her \'oice breaking. After a pause. she added. ·'And he might not be around too much longer.''

Friday, Have an itchy trigger finger When I was growing up in Wardensville, W.Va.. a · Hardy County small town in the eastern panhandle of the state. the start of deer season was a major event. Hunters poured into town. Locals opened their homes to rent rooms. The old White Star Restaurant. about which many of you are familiar, stayed packed with hunters. Do you remember the old albino buck on display in the front window? The attendance at Wardensville High School was very slim that week because most of the young men were afield hoping to bag a big buck and then be able to boast about it. A schoolmate of mine had a rather humorous story to tell one year. He had a chance to kill a large buck jumped by his father. but he apparently failed. Taking aim, he emptied his lever-action. sevenshot 30.30 at the deer. Shortly thereafter. while complaining to his father about faulty gun sights. the man responded by saying he had not heard his son shoot. Stooping, the dad picked up seven' ejected but un-shot shells. He had indeed emptied his gun, but. in his great ·excitement, had failed to pull the trigger as each of the shells was chambered. His family cut his shirt-tail because of not bringing home the tenderloin. We hear often of people in various situations who fail to pull the trigger when opportunity is at hand. It involves not only hunting and sporting circumstances. but it can opportunity for David. If he was to bag the giant, it would be imminently neces sary for him to pull the trigger he had in his possession at the prerise moment. Actually. there were several giants among the Philistine ranks. But, Goliath \Vas the most famous of all, and. in a unique way. has come to be the name with which \Ve associate the hugeness of our own personal challenges. Hov.· do you deal with Goliaths in your life? Do they intimidate you into submission? Do they \vear you down emotionally and spiritually? Does it seem as thou!!h Satan runs out a Goliath with which to defeat your every effort for spiritual advancement and victory? If there is anything that the story of David and Goliath teaches us, it is that David did not eradicate the giant until he pulled the trigger. "And David took a ~tone, and slung it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead." David could have stood and rotated that sling till his arm fell off, but it was only until he let the rock in it tly that he freed himself and Israel rrom oppression. God has given to us. by contrast, powe1ful spiritual weapons loaded for giant killings. But, it is utterly amazing that many do not even have enough spiritual where-withal to even point, much less fire away. You have The Book in hand. Pull the tJigger. You are loaded with the Holy Spiiit. Pull the trigger. Giants al\:vays fa11 when shot with the power of God. Ron Branch also be a factor when it comes to spiritual situations that require decisive action. An example from Scripture is pertinent to the analogy. The Philistines proved pesky and pernicious to Israel. Once. as these warring factions squared up against each other. the Philistines prompted a unique battle strategy. They sent forth their state heavy-weight champion, a gargantuan man named Goliath, with a daring challenge to any Israelite. Fight with him in one-on-one combat to the death to detcnnine who would serve whom. The underlying reason for the challenge was far more subtle. A win by either wanior would prove beyond doubt whose god was the greatest. Goliath was the embodiment of Israel's oppressive woes involving the Philistines. His size and reputation clearly intimidated all in Israel's army, with the exception of one. however. A young man · named David volunteered to serve as Israel':-; battle representa~ tive. The fate of Israel and the reputation of the God of Israel rested squarely on his shoulders. Yet. simultaneously, the situation presented itself as an unparalleled L!fo's lessons 1.

Submitted by Joanne Fillinger ~ovember 27, 2009 A Hunger for More With the Christmas season now "officially'' b~gun, we may be expecting the holidays to be an occasion of joy and refreshing. although for many it historically seems to serve instead as a season of so now, worry and loneliness. For one thing. the ideals of what we assume the season should be are frequently not realized, leaving us feeling deflated and dbappoimed as our expectations are not met. For another. the problems. turmoils and unresolved conflicts that many folks can lay aside for most of the year are often forced into the open simply because family members arc in much closer proximity to one another during this time and what is generaUy "swept under the rug" is kicked up in our faces as relatives march into our lives and we into theirs. With that in mind, many folks respond by taking on the impossibly heavy weight of responsibility for managing the world's affairs (or at least their own comer of it). But the world is too heavy a burden to bear. When the ''whinies'' strike (you know, those temperamental moments that children have when things aren't quite living up to their demands and nothing can satisfy or satiate their desires) we may feel like pulling our hair out, a<>suming that we have some to pull out. Kids don't always get exactly what they want for Christmas (no matter how hard we try) and can't always get all that they may have wanted (budgets do have limits after all). But most of the time they get more than they need and much of what they do want. Parents {hopefully) try to teach their children to be thankful for what they do get and give them a perspective of contentment (let us pray) that is not at the mercy of their circtimstances. In all hone:.ty. however. we would have to admit that the "whinies" are not limited to children but have their more sophisticated versions in us adults as well. Not only do we not always get the gifts that we may have been dreaming of. but our holidays may not be everything we had hoped that they would be.

The Chinese character for Tao contains two symbols, a symbol of o person running forward and a symbol I for the head (or mind). Thus, ! the word Tao literally means to run forward mindfully, or to follow the path. The figure running forward con also be interpreted to mean one's true self (i.e., one's.head or mind is one's true self). Thus the Chinese character for Tao con be interpreted to mean diligently Following the path of i the true self. This is the deeper •I I meaning of the Tao, in much the I I same way that Christians consider following the Spirit within them·to be the true Way. All true religions tell us that we must diligently seek to follow the Spirit within us. Unfortunately, our true selves are obscured by our bodies, our desires, our past experiences, and the physical world. It requires diligent, concentrated effort to see the true path. Our true self always knows the path of wisdom, if only we can see and hear the Spirit within us. We should listen to the Spirit within us and diligently strive to follow the true and righteous poth. .......... .....

John 10:10 (RSV) This is Black Fnday, the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday is the kickoff for the Christmas shopping s_eason and my family has gone to the mall to see what bargains they can find. I am at home eating a turkey sandwich, thinking about the great time we liad on Thanksgiving Day.

Our churche:-. are also making preparations to celebrate the meaning of Christmas. The next four Sunday's before Christma~ arc known as the Sunday's of Advent. Advent is marked by a spirit of e.xpcctation. of anticipation. of preparation. and of longing. There is a veaming for deliverance" from the C\ ils of the world. We long for God to provide a Savior who will overtum the cvib of this world and will rule with faimess for everybody. This Savior came once as babv Jesus borr~ to Mary and "Joseph. He 1" ImmanueL God with us. And when Jesus left thi!> world as the risen Sav10r, he promised to return one day. Advent is a time in wh1ch we look forward to his coming again. Advent is a time when we prepare ourselves in anticipation of Jesus· cqming. This preparatiOn is about examining our lives to see \Vhat we need to do to be ready when Jesus comes again. Thi!'> is a time of prayer: it is a time to look to our neaghbor and share our lives and hopes. Once I was g1ven some money to shop for fond for a family. Christmas was almost here, and I was trying to stretch the dollars and give the family food that went beyond Christmas day. 1 went through the checkout and discovered that 1 was five dollars sh01t for the food. I had no money of my own with me. There was a bag of potatoes that cost five dollars so I had the clerk to hold back the potatoes. As 1 was leaving the store, a woman pulled on my .coat and said. "Sir. you forgot your potatoes." "No, no. I left them hecau::.e I didn't have enough money," "Oh, no sir. these potatoes have been paid for. You take them" She smiles as she hantled them to nu.·. I did not tell her I ' wa::; buying the fond for somebody else. I was just flushed with joy as she shared. I thanked her for her gift and wished her a Merry Christmas. Her gift was spontaneous. joyful and a desire to share her blessings with others. God's g1ft of.

E-mail Meigs County church news to mdsnews@mydailysentlnel.com VI Being thankful Thi~ week we celebrate Thanksgiving Day. I love Thanksgiving Day. 1t is a day of family, fun, football, fellowship. and most of all fhanksgiving (1 just realized that everything else we dn statts with the letter "f" so I thought I'd change the letter "t" with the Jetter ''f" even if it doesn't sound right). We thank God .for all He has done and for His faithfulness. During Thanksgiving or "Fhank::.giving" Day we usually relax and enjoy the day. For the most part. most of us take it easy, eat. feel miserably full, then laugh and eat again. Amazing how we do that! What a dav! After the weekend is over we go back to our daily routine lives - what a bummer that is. We "''ish the weekend would last a lifetime. With that in mind I'd like to remind you of an interesting quote: "Don't worry about anything: instead, pray about eYerything. Tell God what you need. and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God's peace. which exceeds any· thin!! we can understand. Hb ~peace will guard your hearts and minds as vou Jive · in Christ Je~us. And now. dear brothers and sisters. one final thing. fix your thoughts on what is tme. and honorable. and Pastor Alex Colon right. and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about thmgs that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you leamed and received from me - everything you heard from me and saw me doin!!. Then the God of peace will be with you. (Philippians 4:6-8 NCI')'' If you're not quite familiar with this quote. let me give it to you in the most familiar King James version: ''Be careful for nothing: hut in every thin~ by prayer and supplicatiOn with thanksgiving let vour request::. he made kn.own unto God. And the peace of God. which passcth all understandmg, shall keep your hearts and minds throuch .... Christ Jesus. Finally. brethren. whatsoever thingo; are true. whatsoever things are honest. whatsoeH~r things are just. whatsoever things are pure. whatsoever thmgs are Jove- ly. whatsoever thing::. are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise. think on these things." Peace of mind is something that we all want. We all want to be able to rest. to not have to worrv, to feel free to enjoy, life, family, friends, work. church, hobbies, entertainment, etc. We want to be able to enjoy ourselves and not be burdened down with worries that rob us of vigor. life, and purpose. I heard a doctor and minbter recently say that God has been using him to minister' to people by simply praying for them for their emotional healing, because when the emotions are healed, the rest of the body gets healed. We live under too much stress, worry, and fears in this day and age. Can I encourage you to think on the right things and to be thankful? Be thankful, not only this holiday season hut every day of your life. Find somethin!! to be thankful for - you'll~ find that there is plenty. Being thankful is the beginning of a good healthy lifestyle. Make a Fhankful week! . (Pastor Alex Co/611 is pastor of Uglulwuse Assembly of God-Gallipolis. On the Web: www.lagohio.org.) Let the church stand for Jesus • Hello. By way of introducing myselr. I am Tom Johnson - and it has been my great pleasure anti privilege to be the pastor of Trinity Congregational Church, here in Pomeroy. since this time last year. when' I moved into your "hood.'' My wife and daughter~ jomed me in mid-January. having stayed behind to complete the semester wh,ere they were then attending high school. Many of you are already famihar with us. if ()nly because you've seen us around town walking with our "big black. dog" as someone described him. That would be Angus, and he's big, all right - because he eats well. too well. In the geographical sense of the term. we moved "down" here from North\\·est Pennsylvania. Corry was the town in which our daughters' school was !->ituated and Erie was the nearest city. I grew up to the east of where we lived prior to our moving here, in Kane which wa::. known wa::. "the icebox of Pennsvlvania." Long story short: mv family and I are used to lots and lots of snow. as well as cold temperatures and ::.mall towns. We \el)' much like It here in Pomeroy and Meigs County: the climate is ju-;t tine: and the less snow ·and cold the better. Best of all. vou ha\e embraced me and mv family. and have made us"all feel most welcome. I'm telling you thi<; because I've been asked to write a weekly column for Ohio Valley Publishing. So. that's what I'm doing and. obviouslv, this is mv first • attempt ~t it. No article I write will be long and neither will anr, one be explicitly "preachy.' These are my self-imposed guidelines. and let this be Tom Johnson our CO\ enant. I realize l'm paid to preach, but that's on Sunda\ and in church. · I have volunteered for this enterplise. and my hope is to write about and say things to which you can relate - and which will inform, as well us affirm you. For instance: I consider myself a patriot. and I am a veteran of six years service with the U.S. Nav) during the Vietnam era. I am impressed with the respect paid to all veterans in this immediate area. l'm even more appreciative of the love so many of you have for America and our country's flag. These ideals and \ irtues need to be imparted to Ol!r young people, so they in tum may emulate such \'alues and precepts that others have risked and/or !!iven their li\'es for. ~ However. I'm also troubled. Like you. I am quite familiar with hoth the expression and the song ''God Bless America.'' Yet I can't he.lp hut think God's ble!>sing us is increasingly unlikely. given the mom! moras!'> and spiritual lethargy so prevalent in our nauon-as-a-whole. It as presumptuous to expect God to favor us when behaviors and practices are publici) condoned which God's word explicit!\ condemns. Sin abounds. Even so, the term itself has been modified to protect the guilty. Welcome to what George Orwell alluded to as our "bra\'e new world" of politICal correctness. With the stroke of a pen here. an act of jurisprudence there. the moral is-diminished and the immoral is writ into law as a legitimate. viable altematave. Consider the Israelites of Jeremiah's time. They too were a defiant and rebellious people. virtual gadabouts in search of physical and sensual pleasures. Their behavior was offensive to God. but having no sense of shame themselves the Israelites saw not reason to change. Fast-forward to our day-and-age and "blush" is something a lady applies to her face. As a natural and normal physical reaction to an unnatural and abnormal behavior. it's un~ommon. I am pro'ud to be an American. Nevertheless, as we exalt oursch1es we run the risk of neglecting and insulting God! It ha~ been said. and I quote, "If God doesn't punish America for our sins, He will have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.'' We ·ve dod!!ed the bullet of God's divine wrath. and we owe our pre~ent breathing room to God's grace. Let us ne\'er imal!ine we desene G'?d's blcssmg(s) or to be fonnven for our s1ns when. indeed, we deserve His punishment for our errant ways and rebellious behavior. God is giving our land yet anther opportunity to repent and make amends. Let 'the church stand up for Jesus, now! . In closing, 1 appreciate that so many of you reading this believe in the Lord God Almighty and are faithful. committed sewants of our Savior and Lord, Jesus Christ. May you be blessed and be a blessing to others, too. To God be the glory! Shalom. y'all. �Page AS The Daily Senti?el Friday, November 27, Black Friday 2009 is upon us BY ANDREW CARTER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM GALLIPOLIS Following a lull for the Thanksgiving holiday, most tri-county retail stores opened their doors bright - although in some cases iot was still dark - and early today as Black Friday 2009 signaled the beginning of the mad rush to Christmas Day.

The Marauders lost three seniors at the end of last season, two of whom had been four year starters . Ernie Welsh and Cody Cook had been four year starters, while Eugene Patteson had been a one year starter for Meigs. Welsh was also a district qualifier during his career with the maroon and gold. Five wrestlers are being considered the leaders of the team by Coach Danny Davis. Those leaders are Cody Williams (senior), Jeffery Roush (sophomore), Colby Hayes (senior), Joey Ellis (senior) , ·· and Tyler Brothers·(senior) . As for the newcomers expected to make the biggest impact, Coach Davis named four to look for. Billy Duvall is very well trained and always wanting to learn, Cody Oliver is a good wrestler who will surprise some, Charlie Barrett is a hard worker and a fast learner, and Chris Jones is also a hard worker and fast Ieamer who is always wanting to learn. The team outlook is good as Coach Davis, in his 1Oth season, says he is "happy with the team numbers. The team has been working as a team probably harder than any other team." "We are hoping to show team improvement from last year but we are a young team," Coach Davis said. The team finished sixth in the TVC Ohio, and eighth overall of the nine teams at the TVC Championship. ' The main goal for the year is "keeping everybody out and building the program up to become contenders with every wrestler learning for the next few years. Also, a goal is to get more than one wrestler from sectionals into districts, and possibly an all league selection." The Marauders have wrestlers in a variety of weight classes, ranging from 135 to 285 pounds. There are 10 wrestlers returning from last season 's team. The returning seniors are Tyler Brothers, Joey Ellis, Colby Hayes, and Cody Williams. Other returning team members are Chris Hysell , Jeffrey Roush, Blake Crow, Michael Little, Will Folmer, and Zach Sheets . The Marauders open their season at home with the Meigs Invitational with several area teams participating, before they compete in several other matches in route to the TVC Championship in early February which is to be held in Athens. ~ ~ presstime.

The Lady Tornadoes also welcome newcomers to the varsity team who look to have a big impact. Sophomore Kelsey Strang adds great speed and athleticism to the floor, Kelly Humphrey is an aggressive defensive player, and Jessica Riffle has the potential to develop into a good scorer according to Coach Alan Crisp. The girls' basketball program is also up in numbers this season adding four players to total 15 compared to the 11 on the team last year. After finishing last season in a tie for fifth place in the TVC Hocking with Miller, the team is looking to improve its winning totals from the 1-9 league record last season. The Lady Tornadoes were an eight seed in last season's Sectional tournament draw, and faced Miller, defeating t · before falling to the one seed ...;rford in the sectional final. The Lady Tornadoes have a tough road schedule for the 2009-2010 sea- Marauders fromPage4 we will need all of these gays to contribute and be leaders for this team to be successful," Ewing commented. "We want to play together as a team, first and foremost. We want to compete ~very night and work hard at getting better every day in practice as the season progresses." Returning for the Marauders this season are seniors Jacob Well, Jeremy Smith and Cody Laudermilt, as well as juniors Cameron Bolin and Jon McCarthy. Sophomore Jesse Smith is also varsity returnee from a season ago. Well, a two-year starter, was an honorable mention all-district selection a year ago and will be back at the for\(j '/guard spots for an athletic .option o\..1 0th sides of the floor. Bolm and Jeremy Smith also return to the starting lineup at guarci from a year ago, although Bolin will not be available early in the season due to an injury suffered in football.

Laudermilt brings anoth- 2009-10 Winter Sports Preview son, beginning the season on the road at Beaver Eastern, and participating in the annual Wahama Christmas Tournament." "Work hard, play as a team, and have fun," are the goals that Coach Crisp outlined for his team. "If we meet our three goals the wins and losses will take care of the~selves." Crisp adds that part of playing hard is not being outworked or outhustled in Playing as a team, any game. includes each player contributing in their role on the team, while having fun is important because it is "hard to win if you do not enjoy what you are doing." Coach Crisp added that the team needs to get healthy for the season as two or three have battled injuries in the preseason. Other goals for the team are to improve win totals and to develop a winning attitude. As for the team as il whole, Coach Crisp says, "we have a combination of great. senior leadership, mixed with very athletic freshman and sophomore classes. If the kids keep working hard, it could be a fun group to watch." Southern looks to improve in a tough TVC Hocking division that was won in the 2008-2009 season by an undefeated Waterford with a 10-0 record. er athletic guard into the equation, while McCarthy, Stewart and Jesse Smith add considerable depth and size to the frontcourt. . The newcomers to the varsity roster are senior Tanner Hysell , junior Seth Wells, and sophomores Cody Mattox and Ryan Taylor. Both Hysell and Wells are big additions to the frontcourt, while Mattox and Taylor will bring depth to the guard spots. Meigs must replace Clay Bolin, Corey Hutton and Gabe Hill, all of whom were lost to graduation. Bolin and Hill were also All-TVC Ohio and all-district selections a year ago. Ewing, who has amassed a 17-26 overall record during his previous two stints at.MHS, has accumulated a I 0-12 record in TVC Ohio play over that same span. Improving on both of those marks is something that Ewing believes this team can do this season. "Our biggest goals this year are to compete for the TVC Ohio title and win a sectional title, and both of those goals are reachable for this group," Ewing said. "If we continue to get better every day in practice and in games, the rest will take care of itself." The Marauders will begin their season at Warren on Friday, December 4.

Kelsey Myers, sophomore, is the only newcomer to the varsity roster for the 200910 season. The roster consists of two seniors, three juniors, and five sophomores. Coach Burtdette's expectations for the upcoming season include, "having a winning season and improving in every game." The main goal the coach has set for the team is "to keep moving forward and grow stronger as a team."

Harris was an all league, all district, and all state honorable mention selection, while Brauer and Brown were each two year starters for the-Southern varsity team. "We want to compete for a league championship and we must continue to get better throughout the season in order to do that," Caldwell said of his teams main goal for this season. with the opener on the road at Trimble followed by a non-league battle against River Valley. Eastern will travel to play in the Parkersburg Catholic Tournament over the Christmas break, as well as hosting TVC-Ohio opponent Athens in January. Coach Burdette says he is hoping for a great year for his Lady Eagles team in the 2009- l 0 season. Burdette is the first second year coach since Rick Edwards in the 2004-05 season. Coaches Bub Jackson, Dave Weber, and Brad Quillen each coached one season before Burdette took over last for the 2008-09 season. The Lady Eagles finished the 200809 season tied for third in the TVCHocking with Trimble with a 5-5 league record, and a 10-12 overall record. Of his team Caldwell added, "we are a little quicker this year, but not as big. We do have some scoring ability and will probably look to fast break more." Caldwell's main concerns at the start of the season are turnovers and defense. "We have a good group of kids who get along very well and that is very positive." Looking at the TVC Hocking this season, Caldwell stated, "the league will be strong with Eastern returning a lot, and other teams like Trimble, Federal Hocking , and Waterford still being tough to beat." "Our non-conference schedule is going to be challenging also ," as they face Chesapeake at home and play a neutral site contest against North Adams, as well as games against River Valley, Symmes Valley, Wahama, and South Gallia. Caldwell said, "we would like to try and win more regular season games than last year and be prepared to do well in the tournament."

Wolfe was a four-year starter at the point, earning All-TVC Ohio and all-district honors in each of those seasons while becoming the No. 2 alltime scorer in the program's history. Bolin was also an alldistrict selection last winter. But for all the Lady Marauders may lack in experience in the backcourt, they will more than make up for inside as five of the eight returnees are frontcourt players including two of the three returning starters. And with only four varsity newcomers to a 12-deep roster, that - as Wolfe says - will still give MHS a legitimate chance to be successful. "We have a lot of experience at the wings and post, and our guards will continue to get better as the season progresses," Wolfe commented. "We have a lot of talented individuals on this team, but this will have to be a total team effort for us to succeed." The Lady Marauders will look to seniors Tricia Smith, Micki Barnes, Shanalle Smith and Meri VanMeter for leadership. Tricia Smith is the lone returning starter in Pullins: ~xcavating gs Year-!: Conc~ate the backcourt, while Barnes and Shanalle Smith will take on increased roles this season.

Shuler and Glass bring added depth to the forward spots, while Snider adds anothers inside presence at center. Wolfe has high expectations for this squad this season, very similar to the goals in the past. "Our goal every year is the same, to play hard. If you play hard, good things will happen," Wolfe said. "We want the team to get better each week and to be competitive in every game we play."

Lately, the Lions have been getting embarrassed when the nation tunes in to watch them. AaiOn Rodgers matched a career high with three touchdown passes and Charles Woodson grabbed two of his team's four interceptions, giving the Green Bay Packers a 34-12 win over Detroit. The Lions have lost six straight games on the holiday, setting a franchise record, by an average of 23.2 points and eight of nine in the showcase game. The latest loss was an emotional setback for Detroit (2-9) four days after Matthew Stafford's gutsy play capped its biggest comeback win since 1957. "It's a different feeling in this locker room - especially on national television to come out like that,'' Detroit center Dominic Raiola said. Before its recent slide, Detroit won four straight and nine of 12 on Thanksgiving before exgeneral manager Matt Millen arrived in 2001 and made a lackluster franchise awful. Green Bay (7-4) has won three straight since losing to Tampa Bay to improve its postseason prospects. "We can't talk about the yet," Packers playoffs receiver Donald Driver said. Stafford, playing with a sore non-throwing shoulder, threw one touchdown pass and four interceptions. He threw five TD passes in Sunday's win over Cleveland after trailing by ·21. "When you've got to throw the ball every down to try to get back into it when you're behind, guys are going to be all over it," Staff-ord said. Kevin Smith's longest run was 6 yards and he finished with 43 on 18 carries for the Lions.

Casey Mitchell scored a career-high 18 points and No. 8 West Virginia routed Long Beach State 85-62 on Thursday in the first roung of the 76 Classic.

"They haven't shot like that the first two games,'' Long Beach State head coach Dan Monson said. "It's no secret it makes the game a lot easier when your shots arc going in. We didn't do a good job defensively especially finding shooters. Once they got into a flow, it's hard to tum that flow off." T;e Mountaineers (3-0) L _ __ _ Jed the entire game in the first meeting ever between the two schools. Greg Plater and Stephan GiBing each had 14 points for Long Beach State (3-2), which was trying for its first win against a ranked team since 1994. West Virginia f9rward Da'Sean Butler, who had nine points in the first half, finished with 13. "I would say we came out more focused today as opposed to the other game," Butler said. "We want to win the tournament; we wanted to play as hard as we can to have a good kick off to the season." Mitchell, last year's junior college national player of the year, had nine points in the first half and made four 3-pointers.

The strong armed senior quarterback is expected to run Cincinnati's offense on Friday when the fifth-ranked Bearcats (I 0-0) play their final home game against lllinois (3-7). That couJd ~ean another big day for his elusive senior receiver. They have something good together. "The connection hasn't gone anywhere," said Gilyard. the Big East's leading receiver. ''All week we've been clicking. We've got our timing back. My man's back again. He's full} I'Oaded and ready to throw." Pike's return will be the most intriguing element of an out-of-conference game for teams at the opposite ends of their leagues. The Bearcats had one of the nation's top offenses when Pike got hurt at South Florida on Oct. 15. A helmet hit damaged a protective plate in his non-passing forearm. which had been broken last year. Pike had to have the plate·replaced. Sophomore backup Zach Collaros took over and kept the offense rolling for the next four games. The only thing he lacked: that connection with Gilyard. The receiver caught a touchdown pass in each of the first five games with Pike. a total of seven in all. Since then. he's caught only one. Friday, November 27, 2009 www.mydailysentinel.com Pike returned during a 2421 win over West Virginia on Nov. 13. taking ~four snaps and throwing two . touchdown passes. He spent the last two weeks Cincinnati had a bye - runnmg the offense and getting back into the flow with a protective cm;t on the left foreann. Everyone on Cincinnati's side is wailing to sec what happens the first time he gets hit. "He tells me every day his arm feels good," said Gilyard. whose 22 career touchdown catches match the school record. "My main concern is how he's going to feel when he gets hit and falls. He's like. 'Buddy. don't worry about it. We're good. We're going to go out here on senior day and take care of business."' Pike has thrown for 1,649 yards ·and I7 touchdowns with only three interceptions.

Driver had seven receptions for 142 yards. including a 68-yard catch, and a TO that gave the Packers a 20-7 lead midway through the third quarter. Rodgers and Driver both credited their muchmaligned offensive line. "There were a couple times when I held the ball for 4 or 5 seconds - maybe more," Rodgers said.

''I hope he doesn't get booed at Mountaineer Stadium. except for when he walks in the door. But I also hope he doesn't receive a lot of cheers. We want to win this football game." If recent history is any indication. Stull has his work cut out for him. Running the ball has spell~d the difference in the Backyard Brawl. The series has produced II 100-yard rushing per· formances in the last seven seasons. Pittsburgh's LeSean McCoy did it the past two years and Pat White and Steve Slaton for West Virginia in the two seasons before that. West Virginia defensive lineman Chris Neild said it was difficult enough trying to get his hands around McCoy. Now he's got to . deal with Pittsburgh fresh· man Dion Lewis. who is closing in on the Big East rushing title with 1.291 yards. His 129 yards per game are fourth best nationally. • Lewis ran for 152 yards in a 27-22 win over Notre Dame two weeks ago. West Virginia ·s defense allowed one 100-yard rusher in its first seven games but has given up three straight to South Florida's B .J. Daniels May God's angels ( 104). Louisville's Darius Ashley ( 164) and Cincinnati's Isaiah Pead ( 175). ''We· ve got our hands full:· Neild said. Likewise, West Virginia's Noel Dev1ne has five 100-yard games this season and could pose problems for the Panthers. He's rushed for I .098 yards but has been slowed the past two games with a sore left ankle. "He's small, but \1ery fast. so you can't let him get outside.'' said Pittsburgh linebacker Adam Gunn. "We've worked on that. keeping those speedster guys like .. Kampman. both of whom had season-ending knee injuries in last week's win. "Our defense was huge," McCarthy said. ''That was the No. 1 factor in our success." Stafford was only 20 of 43 yards for 213 yards. and his four interceptions were one fewer than he had earlier this season. He was lisl e t as doubtful for the ga because of his should ' injury, but his decision·' making seemed to be more· of a problem than his health. Johnson. who was questionable with hand and knee· injuries. only had a 9-yard catch to go with his 1-yard score.

Although the game doesn 't factor in the conference race. it matters a lot to unfriendly neighbors separated by 75 miles of interstate highway. West Virginia's chances of winning the Big East ended with a 24-21 loss at No. 5 Cincinnati two weeks ago. The Mountaineers can't even end Pitt's title hopes - the conference's BCS nod goes to the winner of the Cincinnati-Pitt game at Pittsburgh's Heinz Field on D~~il~: a loss to West Virginia might cost Pitt any chance at an at-large BCS bowl berth. if the Panthers also lose to Cincinnati.

"I look like a boy," the linesman says. Actually, she looks like a ·ee. ith her shoulder-length blond hair tied up in a knot behind her head and covered by the black hat. close inspection is needed to notice that Thomas is a woman on the otherwise allmale crew officiating the game. Thomas made history in 2007 as the first woman to officiate a Division I college football game and is on the NFL's list of officiating prospects. The 36-year-old manied mother of two young sons from Brandon, Miss., who also is a pharmaceutical representative, knows few officials ever make it to the NFL. "I'll cross that bridge when it presents itself," Thomas said. She is one of five women officiating Division I college football, with two working in Mid-Eastern Athletic nference and two in the • uthwestern Athletic · Conference. Terri Valenti is believed to be the first woman to officiate a pro game - on Oct. 17 she worked as head linesman of a United Football League game between the California Redwoods and New York Sentinels. ''I'm not doing this for recognition or wanting to break a glass ceiling or whatever,'' Thomas says. "I'm going at it the same way they're going at it. There's a job to be done. It just so happens I'm a female. I can't change that." She may not be doing it for recognition. but the NFL has noticed. ··sarah Thomas is most definitely on our list of officiating prospects," league spokesman Greg Aiello said. ''We have been scouting her, we arranged for her to at the New Orleans training camp the past two summers." Thomas _considered quitting in 2006 to focus on her family. Her sons', Bridley and Brady, were playing sports themselves, and her husband, Brian, coached. Junior colleges weren't interested in women working as officials. She had worked high school playoffs and all-star games and felt she had gone as far as she could. Then she got a call from Joe Haynes, who had seen her officiate a game he scouted. wvu from PageBl Haynes then called Gerald Austin. an NFL referee for more than 25 years and head of officials for Conference USA, to talk with Thomas. Austin liked her approach and phihsophy of officiating. so he got her· into an officials camp held annually in Reno, Nev. "There were 12 people at each position, and I felt like Sarah was as good as anyone else at her position when I saw her." Austin said. He put her on staff at Conference USA in 2007. working her in two nonconference games against Football Championship teams. Thomas Series worked more games in 2008 and was put on a crew with a full slate of I 1 gcrmes this season. Austin likes her knowledge of the rules. coachability and field presence. Austin also sees her having the potential to be considered in the future for the NFL. "1 wouldn't say. yeah. she's going to be in the NFL someday. There's too many good officials out there. The NFL's going to look at her just like anybody else. Who can go out there on Sunday afternoon and do the job?" Austin said. Qualifying to become an NFL official isn't easy. At least 10 years of total officiating experience is required, including five years at the Division I college. level or with another professional league. This is Thomas' first full season with the same officiating crew, and The Associated Press got to watch her work on a game day. Coincidentally, she was back in Memphis for a game against East Carolina, the same to'W n where she debuted Sept. 14, 2007. For the Tuesday night kickoff in Memphis. the officiating crew had to be in town by midnight the night before. They met for breakfast. then gathered in a meeting room for their pre-game strategy and film session. They reviewed video of calls the week before. refreshed responsibilities for different players and portions of the field and their schedule at the stadium. After an hour, they broke. A few went with referee Steve Barth to see the pandas at the Memphis Zoo. Thomas, sniffling with a sinus problem. returned to her room for three hours of rest. With a small locker room, Barth's crew dressed at their Memphis hotel and met in the lobby on game day. They joined local officials working the chains and other duties for the police escort to the stadium. Thomas said she never hears comments when she walks through the lobby wearing her striped shirt. 'The guys say they like to walk behind me just to get the stares," Thomas says. Despite the grind, Barth, whose father officiated in the NFL for 20 years. says his four sisters and wife are all "envious as all get out" of what Thomas is doing. He also sees Thomas being among the I percent of peopie - male or female - up to the pressure and competition of officiating. "This is a really. really neat · oppmtunity for her and to be· a part of it and helping out, it's fun. too. We're having a good time," he says. Not surprisingly, it's fun for Thomas, who has always loved sports. Growing up 90 minutes from New Orleans in south Mississippi. her family watched the New Orleans Saints, and she became the first girl to Jetter five times in a sport at Pascagoula High and played basketball at the University of Mobile. She was 23 when she decided to join her brother at a football officials meeting in 1996. "That's when I realized I was a rarity. It was like, 'What's this lady doing here?'" she recalls. Her brother had warned her to expect men set in their ways and plenty of stares. "They thought r was someone's wife checking up on them, honestly, at first," Thomas says. Once they saw she was serious. the stares disappeared But Thomas found what she knew of football didn't compare to what an official had to understand. "I didn't know you had to have I J on offense and 11 on defense. Me counting players or making sure I had seven on the line of scrimmage? Those were things I never paid attention td," she says. The studying began along with starting out at the bottorn: Pee wee. then junior high, jayvee games and working the clock for varsity Friday night games. By her fourth year. she worked \Vith a crew. Thomas is enjoying her Conference USA experience, but no one has to tell her it's not the NFL. 'There is no privacy at the tiny locker room for the Memphis game. The officials have to pao.;s by a pair of open urinals. Thomas, recalling her first visit with school officials. remembered them trying to make her comfortable by setting aside a room and bathroom for a separ·ate locker room. · T.J.

Thomas is one of five women officiating Division I college football and is on the NFL's list of officiating prospects. ''I let them escort me out there. but as soon as they left, I was banging on the door. 'Let me in!"' she said. Once pregame warrnups start, Thomas is noticed quickly. Memphis has some recruits visiting. and Steve Dunn is with his stepson from Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and uses his cell phone to take a couple photos of Thomas from a few yards behind her. His wife pointed out Thomas to him. "It's the first lady I'd seen doing it,'' Dunn said. During the game, Thomas stayed busy in front of the Memphis sideline. At halftime, she was quizzing her crewmates on her mechanics just before the game's first touchdown and pointed out to one that she was in control when trying to break up opposing players. Midway through the third quarter, she threw a flag for holding - on the visitors and one fan yelled out. "Good call.'' East Carolina won 38-19. then it was back to the locker room to grab gear before an escort back to the hotel. Then the crew got cleaned up and had a grading session.

(AP) - Before quarterback Tim Tebow even arrived at Florida, there was a documentary about his life called 'The Chosen One." After four years, two Southeastern Conference championships. two national titles. a Heisman Trophy and a chance to lead the program to its fu·st perfect season, the toprrulked Gators may be ready to dub him "The Greatest One." Farfetched? Overstated? Crazy? Not in Gainesville. Not on Saturday. when Tebo~ and the Gators ( 11-0) host Florida State (6-5). Tebow's frnal home game probably will be an emotional spectacle. beginning with his final walk into the stadium. continuing with pregame ceremonies honoring a senior class that has more wins (46) than any other in SEC history and concluding with what Tebow hopes will be one final victory lap around The Swamp. 'TU try to prepare myself," he said. "I'm not going to try to think about it. to be honest with you. too much. It'll just probably happen. It'll just probably be pretty emotional. pretty exciting, overwhelming to say the least. I'm excited about it. Kind of sad it's my last opportunity, but also excited that it'll be that special of a moment." Coach Urban Meyer held back tears several times this week when trying to explain what Tebow and his fellow seniors meant to him and the program. The 2006 class was Meyer's first full recruiting class at Florida, and the first one in any of his three headcoaching stops that he stayed with from signing day to graduation. "Kind of just mind-boggling when you think about those young guys, what they've done," Meyer said. The class is 27-5 in SEC play, 25-2 at home, 14-3 against ranked opponents and Il-l against rivals Tennessee (4-0), Georgia (3-1), Florida State (3-0) and Miami (1-0). "I guess that's a decent recruiting cla'>s," Meyer said. ''I love these guys." No doubt, though, Tebow will get most of the love Saturday. Florida officials would prefer that Tebow not be singled out from a class that features 24 seniors, including linebackers Brandon Spikes and Ryan Stamper. receiver Riley Cooper. defensive Jermaine Cunningham and kick returner Brandon James. Tebow's teammates have more realistic expectations. "The{e are going to be a lot of tears in the stands seeing No. 15 run off the field the last time,'' receiver David Nelson Romo, AtJstin send Cowboys past Raiders ARLINGTON. Texas (AP) - Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys had their way with the Oakland Raiders, piling up their most yards of the season and getting another solid performance from the defense. Now comes the big challenge for the NFC East leaders: Keeping it up. Dallas beat Oakland 24-7 on Thursday for its sixth win in seven games, guaranteeing it will remain atop the division going into the final month. Because Decembers have been such disasters for the Cowboys over the past decade-plus, they can only hope th1s performance indicates things will be different this season. ''I think we have a lot to prove - just for this season, though," Romo said. "I don't think any other season has any beanng whatsoever. For us, it's strictly about right now and this next game. We'll go from there." Despite a back injury sustained four days before. Romo threw for 309 yards. He got more than 100 yards rece1ving from each of his two favorite targets, Miles Austin and Jason Witten, and threw a touchdown to his ~hest-paid receiver, Roy illiams. Dallas (8-3) also had nice balance with more than 60 yards each from running backs Felix Jones, Tashard Choice and Marion Barber. The defense kept Oakland (3-8) from crossing midfield in the first half, crushing whatever good vibes the Raiders generated by a victory over the division-leading Bengals on Sunday. They got within 17-7 early in the second half on the first career touchdown catch by top draft pick Darrius Heyward-Bey, then hardly threatened again. "Trying to win two games for us has been like trymg to climb Mount Everest," .cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha said. "We haven't been able to get any momentum going.'' Coming off two lousy offensive performances, the Cowboys more than made up for it. · They gained 494 yards, sparked by lots of big plays - five of at least 40 yards, and eight of at least 25: no NFL team had done that since New Orleans in October 2006. Witten had his two longest catches of the season and his first 100-yard outing since last Thanks~iving, and he'd been quest10nable to even play because of a sprained left foot. Choice had a 66-yard run that was the club's longest since 2006, Jones added a 46yarder for a touchdown, and Romo was an efficient 18 of 29 with two touchdown passes and no turnovers. Still, there were things to worry about, like turning all that into only 24 points because of penalties and converting only four of 12 third- down attempts. ··we still have a lot of work to do,'' said Choice, whose big run came out of Dallas' version of the wildcat formation. "A lot of things that we've messed up on we have to get better. We have to stay focused corning into December." The defense remains an overshadowed strong point. They went from giving up 68 yards rushing in the first quarter to just 56 the rest of the game, and linebacker Anthony Spencer had his first two sacks of ·the season. It was especially sweet for him because his predecessor, Greg Ellis, was watching from the Oakland sideline. Ellis made a few plays earlv but missed the second half because of swelling in his left knee. Romo is 4-0 in Thanksgiving starts, but this is the time of year his golden touch turns to rust. He is 5-10 after Thanksgiving, counting two playoff losses. Last season, the Cowboys came out of the holiday al 8-4, then went 1-3 and missed the playoffs. The year before, when Dallas went 13-3, two of the losses came in December. The Cowboys are going to have to earn their way into the playoffs as their final five games are against division leaders New Orleans and San Diego, plus division rivals New York, Philadelphia and Washington. "I think you put yourself in position well before December," Romo said. "You have to maintain a level of consistency, then you raise it up ~oing into January - if you re good enough to do that." Austin is one of Dallas' new wrinkles this time around. The Cowboys' 6-1 run coincides with the seven games he's started. Defenses had done a better job of smothering him in . recent weeks, which might've lulled the Raiders into going with single coverage .. He responded with seven catches for 145 yards and a 9-yard touchdown. "I don't think me having a great game means that we're going to have a great ~arne," he said. "I would say It is all of us." Oakland quarterback Bruce Gradkowski was 18 of 35 for 200 yards and the 4-yard touchdown pass to HeywardBey. On that drive, Gradkowski was 5 of 5 for 69 yards, plus a 21-yard scramble, he just couldn't keep it up. "There were plays out there to be made early on. We didn't make them," Gradkowski said. "I take the blame. I missed a couple early throws on that would have given our team energy." Oakland's powerful punter Shane Lechler failed m his bid to hit the overhead video board, in warmups or in his nine tries during the game. said. 'Tm sure coach Meyer will be a little teared up for that. It's going to be an emotional day, just for everything he's worked for and everything he's done since he's been here. It all kind of wraps up with his la..<.t home gan1e in The Swamp." Tebow was one of the nation's top recruits in the fall of 2005. His decision came down to Alabama and Florida. his close relationship with then~Tide coach Mike Shula and his childhood dream of playing for the Gators and attending the same college as his parents. He insists it was a more difficult decision than it might seem. He spent 12 hours with Shula the day before his announcement and even gave Meyer no hint about his choice until after it was revealed on national television. Meyer's phone died as they were speaking, with Tebow right in the middle of crying and saying how tough a choice it was. Meyer assumed Tebow was headed to Alabama and refused to watch the announcement when he got home. Instead, he went outside to play catch with his son and was shocked when his wife and two daughters ran out of the house screaming the news. • AP photo Florida quarterback Tim Tebow (15) high fives fans as he takes a lap around the stadium after defeating Vanderbilt 27-3 in an NCAA college football game in Gainesville, Fla.

He's been more impressive since, with jump passes, rock- er-step throws, option plays. scrambles and more touchdown5 than anyone in SEC history. He has 8335 yards passing and 81 TDs, and 2,743 yards rushing and 54•scores. He holds three NCAA records, 12. SEC marks and nearly two dozen school records. Tebow is more proud of his off-field achievements. which include m1ssion trips to thirdworldcountlies, working with underprivileged youth and visiting hospitals and prisons. He ranks those as more important than any victories, championships or individual awards. "At the end of the day. that is more speciaL being able to use football as a platform to make a kid smile. to make a kid's day.'' Tebow said.

Ryan Newman needed only one word: "Dynamite." 111> Kasey l<.ahne remains concerned about the future of Richard Petty Motorsports. He thinks the latest merger, with Yates Racing (which will put him in a Ford. not a Dodge, next year). is moving along too slowly and has too many loose ends. His contract is up next year. and he seems likely to consider oth· er options. 111> Though changes have made it seem a bit convoluted. Jamie McMurray will rejoin owner Chip Ganassi next year. McMurray, Casey Mears and Reed Sorenson all had career-best point fin· ishes while driving for Ganassi. 111> Kyle Busch cited the words of management theorist Dr. Lawrence J. Peter (1919-90) to expla1n why he frequently refuses to talk after things don't go his way: "Speak when you are angry, and you'll make the best speech you'll ever regret.• 111> At present, only three drivers (with 40 or more career victories) in NASCAR history have higher winning percentages than Johnson. They are Herb Thomas. David Pearson and Richard Petty. 111> It's really not an honest measure to rank winning percentages before one's career is over, though. Most drivers tend to win less often as they get older. For example, 1n the late 1990s. Jeff Gordon had the highest winning percentage in history. Entering Homestead on Sunday, Gordon's percentage had fallen to .141 compared to teammate Johnson's .162. 111> Though the Chase consists of 12 drivers, only the top 10 will be formally honored at the annual Sprint Cup Awards Ceremonies in Las Vegas, on Dec. 4. 111> Hendrick Motorsports has never been so dominant. Johnson, Martin and Gordon finished 1-23 1n the point standings, and two other Chase participants•. Tony Stewart and Ryan Newman, relied on considerable assistance from Hendrick. 111> Jeff Gordon almost won four straight championships. He won in 1995, '97 and '98, narrowly losing to, yes, a Hendrick teammate, Terry Labonte, in '96. j ( of track, people didn't put us in the season by coasting.

(1.5 mi.), 200 laps/300 miles. When: Saturday, Nov. 21. The Nationwide Series' final race ended the same way the season did: Kyle Busch's Toyota first and Carl Ed· wards' Ford second. Busch won for the ninth time in the Ford 400, finishing .482 of a second ahead of Ed· wards and holding off the 2007 series champion's late charge "It was a tough race, for sure: said Busch. "We weren't the best car here for a long time. All these guys made some great race calls: (crew chieO Jason (Ratcliff) and everybody else. That's why we're a championship team." Two laps after a late restart. Busch passed Edwards for the lead and led the rest of the way. Edwards pitted under caution on lap 286 and restarted eighth on lap 190. His bid for victory fell just short. Ford 200 Where: Homestead-Miami Speedway. Homestead. Ra. 11.5 mi.), 134 laps/201 miles. When: Friday. Nov. 20. Kevin Harvick knew how to celebrate an owner's championship in the Camping World Truck Series. He won the final race, Homestead-Miami Speedway's Ford 200, as a driver. His full-time driver in the series, Ron Hornaday Jr.• had already wrapped up his fourth championship.

Denny Hamlin did what he'd never done before, but Jimmie Johnson did what no one ever did before. The Ford 400 was Hamlin's fourth victory of the season, but it was his first on a high-banked track. Homestead-Miami Speedway. His first sev· en career victories were on tracks that were relatively flat: Pocono, Loudon. Martinsville and Richmond. "I promise you in the next couple years we're going to win a championship," said Hamlin. "To win on a track where people don't expect us to win IS a great achievement. "When I first started out (2006), I was better on the short tracks because that's where my experience was. Until I won at a different style Nationwide HOMESTEAD, Fla.- NASCAR has been around since 1947, and after 62 years, it's rare when a driver can say he's done what no one else has ever done. Afifth-place finish in the Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway enabled Johnson to secure his fourth straight championship of what is now known as the Sprint Cup Series. Cale Yarborough won three straight championships from 1976 through 1978, a mark tied by Johnson in 2008. Johnson, 34, is only the fourth driver in history to win more than three championships overall. He tied Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon, who won titles in 1995, '97, '98 and 2001. Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt share the all-time record with seven championships. The champion set a proper tone in his post-race remarks. "I am just blown away by the things we've been able to accomplish over the last eight years in the sport," said Johnson. "Obviously, the last four years have been just unbelievable. To love the sport like I do and respect it like I do, and the history, the pioneers of this sport from Bill France, Sr., to the Petty family, you go through many eras up to .Mr. (Rick) Hendrick (owner of Johnson's No. 48 Chevy) and what he's done over the last 25 (years), to look at all of that, and to have done something that's never been done in the sport before is so, so amazing and something I am so proud of. "At the same time, I've worked my entire life to be in this position. So has Chad (Knaus, his crew chief), and so has Rick (Hendrick). It's not that we backed into any of this. It's not that it just happened. We've gone out and worked really, really hard and have dedicated our lives to it, and it's paid off. It's extremely rewarding to have that payoff. and we're really going to enjoy this." Johnson won four of the 10 Chase for the Sprint Cup races for the third time in hi~ career. Overall, he's won 18 of the 60 races since the format was implemented in 2004. With championships in 2006, '07 and '08, Johnson is one of only three drivers to win championships under NASCAR's present title format. The others were Kurt Busch in 2004 and Tony Stewart in 2005.

Dear NASCAR This Week, I would like to make several suggestions to make NASCAR racing more exciting and eliminate followthe-leader-type racing. Require the cars to have a minimum ground clearance of three or possibly four inches. This would allow air to get under the cars and reduce the effect that cars around them have on them. Require a harder tire (durometer reading). This would slow the cars down some. Eliminate restrictor plates. but have a maximum CFM carburetor allowed. These three things would make for safer racing, better racing, would slow the fields down some. and would somewhat eliminate the follow-theleader racing that we have now. Of course. I also feel thell if an aggressive driver causes an ~ccident. the . aggressor should be sent to the ba of the field and not benefit from it. Ralph Jacobsen Wlseonsln Dells, Wis. Thanks for putting some thought into the issues you noted. ( Cale before Jimmie Cale Yarborough, who held the record of three straight Cup (then Willstan, now Sprint) championships until Jimmie Johnson came along, won his t~ ties under another system. when all races counted the same. Yarborough, bom and raised in Timmonsville. S.C., recently pointed out with pride that he was the only driver to win three in a row under that format. since Johnson's championships all occurred under what NASCAR calls its Chase system. which concentrates importance on the final 10 races. Yarborough's championships occurred in 1976. '77 and '78. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
