We're referring to the traditional big four of hol parsley, iday herbs sage, rosemary and thyme . Each holds a treasured place as a seasonal seasoning. and each requires more than a month to reach proper scissor-snipping size. A northern winter can be a difficult time to harvest culinary herbs, but many of the plants can be potted and shifted indoors for a few months. If you do run out of time to garden, you always can buy fresh herbs from the nearest green grocer or you can turn to dried varieties. The consensus among kitchen gardeners, though, is that fresh is best. 'The pungent compounds that cause herbs to be valuable in flavoring food are in most cases volatile, essential oils." said David Trinklein, an associate professor with the University of Missouri's Division of Plant Sciences at Columbia. "Fresh herbs usually have a higher concentration of these compounds as opposed to dried herbs." Herbs were the primary food seasoning grown in pioneer gardens. They also were used for curing illnesses, dying homespuh fabrics, storing with linens or strewing on crude cabin floors to take advantage of their fragrance, Trinklein said. The availability of dried herbs at · the supermarket changed that. But as interest in cooking and ethnic foods in particular grows, fresh herbs are in demand. Herbs can ·be grown indoors · but the results probably won't be as good as what you would see from houseplants, which generally are smaller and have different requirements .. "Most homes don't have enough light to support Thanksgiving from Page 01 Middleport • Pomeroy, Ohio :;o AP photos Fresh parsley, shown in this Oct. 7 photo, is as much a holiday garnish as it is a seasoning.

"Ideally, you should cut herbs soon after the dew has evaporated from the leaves in the morning," Trinklein said. "Harvest on a dry day that has been_preceded by ha~d two dry days." Don't stuff fresh herbs into plastic bags if they're being gathered in large quantities. Use an open weave basket or a container that allows air to circulate. You can cut back a perennial herb to about half its height and an annual to just a few inches and expect still more production from the plants before season's end.

The group, which has an estimated 3,000 members across hardline parts of Northern Ireland, has loosely observed a cease-fire since 1994, but until now has refused to surrender a single bullet or bomb- a major objective of a 1998 peace accord. It is the last of Northern Ireland's underground armies to renounce violence. "the major Catholic-based group the Irish Republican Army, did so and disarmed in 2005, but also refused to give its weapons to international officials. The group said in a statement that at midnight Sunday ·it would "stand down with all military intelligence destroyed, and, as a consequence of this, aJI weaponry will be put ' beyond use." · The UDA's south Belfast commander Jackie McDonald confirmed the group would not surrender its weapons to international disarmament officials. "They are the people's guns," McDonald said. The UDA appeared to be following the Ulster Volunteer Force - the other major Protestant underground army which said in May that it had placed its weapons under the · custody of senior members and "beyond the reach" of rank• and-file members. The UVF did not surrender any to John de Chastelain, the retired Canadian general who since 1997 has been trying to oversee paramilitary ·disarmament in Northern Ireland. Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahem welcomed the UDA's move, buts said it now must cooperate wi th the Commi ssion on Independent International Decommissioning and surrender its weapo'ns. Intelligence officials have said the Protestant parami li tary groups were relatively poorly armed compared to the IRA's sophisticated arsenal - having only firearms. ammunition, grenades and small supplies of explosives.

"The ceiling beam, the · · lifeline of the mine, came down on me," Luo said. A Dayangou mine officia! denied any collapse occurred. Zheng Hailong, a straight-backed wiry 'miner of 30 years and deputy manager of the mine, said Dayangou has a perfect record on safety and the environment. "Safety here is guaranteed," Zheng said, repeat· ing the government's campaign .slogan: "Safety first, production second." Dayangou produces , more than I 00,000 tons annually, according to mine officials, though it is only licensed . to produce 30,000 tons . The county says it owns the mine, but Luo and others ·say it is privately owned. . A government safety campaign is closing down mines that produce less than 300 ,000 tons a year.

Bulthe crackdown never reached Dayangou . After his accident , Luo said, mine employees drove him 155 miles across the province to the People's Hospital in Hejin so that no one would know of hi s injuries and the mine could deny there had been an accident. After 45 days, when he could walk again, . hospital administrators told him to leave, handing him $1,200 that the mine had left for him. Luo spent another three months on crutches in a rented room in Hejin, still hoping to return to the mines. But he finally gave up. "I realized I would never be the sarrie, never totally healtid, so I came back," Luo said at his half-acre farm in Chang' gou. He has no money for an operation to remove the rod in his leg. Standing for long periods is painful. He finds it hard to till his plots of wheat or climb the trees to gather chestnuts, which are the area's sole cash crop. But he has no choice: He must feed a family of four'- his wife gave birth to a son early this year. Though he misses the money they once had , he now says he would not return to mining, even if he could. "I've ' learned a bitter iesson," he said. "Life above ground is better than life below."

The group, which has an estimated 3,000 members across hardline parts of Northern Ireland, has loosely observed a cease-fire since 1994, but until now has refused to surrender a single bullet or bomb- a major objective of a 1998 peace accord. It is the last of Northern Ireland's underground armies to renounce violence. "the major Catholic-based group the Irish Republican Army, did so and disarmed in 2005, but also refused to give its weapons to international officials. The group said in a statement that at midnight Sunday ·it would "stand down with all military intelligence destroyed, and, as a consequence of this, aJI weaponry will be put ' beyond use." · The UDA's south Belfast commander Jackie McDonald confirmed the group would not surrender its weapons to international disarmament officials. "They are the people's guns," McDonald said. The UDA appeared to be following the Ulster Volunteer Force - the other major Protestant underground army which said in May that it had placed its weapons under the · custody of senior members and "beyond the reach" of rank• and-file members. The UVF did not surrender any to John de Chastelain, the retired Canadian general who since 1997 has been trying to oversee paramilitary ·disarmament in Northern Ireland. Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahem welcomed the UDA's move, buts said it now must cooperate wi th the Commi ssion on Independent International Decommissioning and surrender its weapo'ns. Intelligence officials have said the Protestant parami li tary groups were relatively poorly armed compared to the IRA's sophisticated arsenal - having only firearms. ammunition, grenades and small supplies of explosives. Monday, Nov~mber. t:z, The Daily Sentinel 2007 BYTHEBEND ·Community Calendar carries high cost use Northern Ireland's paramilitary Ulster Defense Association renounces violence .• PageA2 Public meetings in the shaft and tell them not to talk about it to anyone. You would think; 'That 's not fair.' But you were alway s worried about losing your job." Such fears are pervasive in Chinese mines. At the Huayuan Mining Co. in eastern Shandong province, miners said they continued to work as water began seeping into the mine his! s1.1mmer, because · they . feared fines or dismissal. When a rainswollen river breached a dike in August, the mine flooded, drowning 172. 'To enter the gates of the Huayuan company was to enter a prison," said a handwritten letter by a miner who asked that his name not be used out of fear of reprisals. On Dec. · 27, 2005, Luo was strengthening ceiling beam s when part of the shaft started to crumble. · Another miner shouted to Luo to help repair the breach. "The ceiling beam, the · · lifeline of the mine, came down on me," Luo said. A Dayangou mine officia! denied any collapse occurred. Zheng Hailong, a straight-backed wiry 'miner of 30 years and deputy manager of the mine, said Dayangou has a perfect record on safety and the environment. "Safety here is guaranteed," Zheng said, repeat· ing the government's campaign .slogan: "Safety first, production second." Dayangou produces , more than I 00,000 tons annually, according to mine officials, though it is only licensed . to produce 30,000 tons . The county says it owns the mine, but Luo and others ·say it is privately owned. . A government safety campaign is closing down mines that produce less than 300 ,000 tons a year. Two hours ' dci ve west of Dayangou, in Shanxi's Liang mount ain s, inspec tors have repeatedly raided mines, sometimes dynamiting miner dormitories and destroying weighing scales to prevent the mines from reopening . Bulthe crackdown never reached Dayangou . After his accident , Luo said, mine employees drove him 155 miles across the province to the People's Hospital in Hejin so that no one would know of hi s injuries and the mine could deny there had been an accident. After 45 days, when he could walk again, . hospital administrators told him to leave, handing him $1,200 that the mine had left for him. Luo spent another three months on crutches in a rented room in Hejin, still hoping to return to the mines. But he finally gave up. "I realized I would never be the sarrie, never totally healtid, so I came back," Luo said at his half-acre farm in Chang' gou. He has no money for an operation to remove the rod in his leg. Standing for long periods is painful. He finds it hard to till his plots of wheat or climb the trees to gather chestnuts, which are the area's sole cash crop. But he has no choice: He must feed a family of four'- his wife gave birth to a son early this year. Though he misses the money they once had , he now says he would not return to mining, even if he could. "I've ' learned a bitter iesson," he said. "Life above ground is better than life below."

Will civil war convulse t he country? Will jihadists, rulers of Taliban-frie ndly provinces, conquer all of Pakistan? Will Musharraf himself be deposed in a military coup? Precisely what .variety of ·:opposition" do the opposilion groups actua ll y represent? Lawyers? Jihadis? And what of former pri!lle min ister Benazir Bhutto, leader of Pakistan's largest polilical party? But there is one question more urgent than any other: Wh at will happe n to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal? The experts are agreed on an answer, just as they are agreed on all the answers: Nobody knows. This . ,isn't to say a consensus 1sn t emerging on what the United States should do pundit next. In fact, I\ groups have quickl y formed, splitting conservatives in particular in a significant way. They come down to ( I) supporting , or at least acknowledging, Musharraf as the lesser of many evils. including the Taliban ; and ( 2) supporting democratic <:lections in Pakistan as the only possible moral choice. While the Bush administration seems to have decided to follow both policies simultaneously - generating more muddie - it's worth considermg the two camps because they will probably set the tone of foreign policy . debate for some time. First, the Support Musharraf crowd. Writing Diana West at National Review Online, Stanley Kurtz makes the case: "Given the size and strength of the lslamist threat, and given the uniq ue social role of Pakis tan's army, a military government may be the only real bulwark against the potential disaster of a nuclear-armed a 1_Q a e d a s 1 a n . , Powerline:com's Paul Mirengoff is il)clined to agree . so, too, ·IS the Heritage Foundation 's Helle Dale in the contexi of "hold your "nose diplomacy.

That mention of "chaosing worse" in Iran in 1978, the year Jimmy Carter disastrously pulled the rug out from under the Shah, thus clearing the way for the far more repressive re gime of Ayatoll ah l<;homeini and malignant jihadism to take hold in the region, is plenty compelling to me.

Privacy no longer can mean anony111ily, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that govern' ment and businesses properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information. Kerr's comments come as Congre~s is taking a second look at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Lawmakers hastily changed the 1978 law last summer to allow the government to eavesdrop inside the United States without court . permission, so long as one end of the conversation was reasonably believed to be located outside the U.S. The original law required a court order for <!ny surveillance conducted on U.S. soil, to protect Americans' pnvacy. The White Houst: argued that the law was obstructing intelligence gathering because, as technology has changed. a grow- ing amount of foreign communications passes through O.S.-based channels. . The most 1=0ntentious issue in the new legislation is whether to shield telecommunications companies from . civil lawsuits for allegedly giving the government access to people's private e-mails and phone calls without a FISA court order · between 200 I and 2007. Some lawmakers, including members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appear reluctant to grant immunity. Suits might be the only way to determine how far the government has burrowed into people's privacy without court permission. The committee is expected to decide this week whether its version of the bill will protect telecommunications companies. About 40 wiretappmg suits are pending. The central witness in a ·california lawsuit against AT&T says the government is vacuuming up billions of e-mails and phone calls as they pass through an AT&T switching station i n San Francisco. Mark Klein, . a retired AT&T technician, helped conriect a device in 2003 that he says diverted and copied onto a government supercomputer every call, e-mail. and Internet site access on AT&T lines.

Pervez Musharraf said Sunday that Pakistan will stick to its January schedule · for parliamentary elections but he set no time limit on emergency rule, raising grave doubts about whether the crucial vote can be free and fair. Fonner Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, speaking two days after sbe was brietly put under house arrest, said the schedule for elections was "a first positive step," but with an emergency i!l place. it would be "difficult" to cam-. . prugn. Other opposition parties said Musharraf's sweeping powers, which have already led to thousands of arrests and · a ban on rallies, would make a mockery of the democratic process. The attorney -general also announced Sunday that military courts could now try civilians on charges ranging from treason to inciting public unrest. A leading Pakistani rights activist, currently under house arrest, said it showed the U.S.-backed general had imposed martial law. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezia Rice welcomed Musharraf's pledge to hold elections by Jan. 9 but expressed concern that he had not set a time limit for restoring citizens' rights. "It's not a perfect situation," Rice said. Musharraf, who took power in a I~ coup, appeared defiant but bitter at rising criticism of his decision to suspend tlie constitution a· week ago, a step he says was necessary to combat rising Islamic militancy that had sown "turmoil, shock and confusion" in Pakistan. "It was the most difficult decision I have ever taken in my life," Musharmf told his first news conference since pushed back by one year. But declaring the emergency Nov. they could be worried by his 3. · refusal to commit to a date for "I could have preserved lifting the emergency. myself, but then it would have "The emergency condamaged the nation.

That will add to concerns that the judiciary's ability to check the power of the executive or security services has heen severely compromised through Musharraf's ~urging of the top ranks of the JUdicia-' ry. · Musharraf said opposition supporters who had been rounded up si nce the emerge ncy would be released to take ·part in the polls; but warned they could be detained again. Anyone who "disturbs law and order and wants to create anarchy in the name of elections and democ.racy, we will not allow that," he said.

And what of former pri!lle min ister Benazir Bhutto, leader of Pakistan's largest polilical party? But there is one question more urgent than any other: Wh at will happe n to Pakistan's nuclear arsenal? The experts are agreed on an answer, just as they are agreed on all the answers: Nobody knows. This . ,isn't to say a consensus 1sn t emerging on what the United States should do pundit next. In fact, I\ groups have quickl y formed, splitting conservatives in particular in a significant way. They come down to ( I) supporting , or at least acknowledging, Musharraf as the lesser of many evils. including the Taliban ; and ( 2) supporting democratic <:lections in Pakistan as the only possible moral choice. While the Bush administration seems to have decided to follow both policies simultaneously - generating more muddie - it's worth considermg the two camps because they will probably set the tone of foreign policy . debate for some time. First, the Support Musharraf crowd. Writing Diana West at National Review Online, Stanley Kurtz makes the case: "Given the size and strength of the lslamist threat, and given the uniq ue social role of Pakis tan's army, a military government may be the only real bulwark against the potential disaster of a nuclear-armed a 1_Q a e d a s 1 a n . , Powerline:com's Paul Mirengoff is il)clined to agree . so, too, ·IS the Heritage Foundation 's Helle Dale in the contexi of "hold your "nose diplomacy.

That mention of "chaosing worse" in Iran in 1978, the year Jimmy Carter disastrously pulled the rug out from under the Shah, thus clearing the way for the far more repressive re gime of Ayatoll ah l<;homeini and malignant jihadism to take hold in the region, is plenty compelling to me.

Privacy no longer can mean anony111ily, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Instead, it should mean that govern' ment and businesses properly safeguard people's private communications and financial information. Kerr's comments come as Congre~s is taking a second look at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Lawmakers hastily changed the 1978 law last summer to allow the government to eavesdrop inside the United States without court . permission, so long as one end of the conversation was reasonably believed to be located outside the U.S. The original law required a court order for <!ny surveillance conducted on U.S. soil, to protect Americans' pnvacy. The White Houst: argued that the law was obstructing intelligence gathering because, as technology has changed. a grow- ing amount of foreign communications passes through O.S.-based channels. . The most 1=0ntentious issue in the new legislation is whether to shield telecommunications companies from . civil lawsuits for allegedly giving the government access to people's private e-mails and phone calls without a FISA court order · between 200 I and 2007. Some lawmakers, including members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, appear reluctant to grant immunity. Suits might be the only way to determine how far the government has burrowed into people's privacy without court permission. The committee is expected to decide this week whether its version of the bill will protect telecommunications companies. About 40 wiretappmg suits are pending. The central witness in a ·california lawsuit against AT&T says the government is vacuuming up billions of e-mails and phone calls as they pass through an AT&T switching station i n San Francisco. Mark Klein, . a retired AT&T technician, helped conriect a device in 2003 that he says diverted and copied onto a government supercomputer every call, e-mail. and Internet site access on AT&T lines.

Pervez Musharraf said Sunday that Pakistan will stick to its January schedule · for parliamentary elections but he set no time limit on emergency rule, raising grave doubts about whether the crucial vote can be free and fair. Fonner Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, speaking two days after sbe was brietly put under house arrest, said the schedule for elections was "a first positive step," but with an emergency i!l place. it would be "difficult" to cam-. . prugn. Other opposition parties said Musharraf's sweeping powers, which have already led to thousands of arrests and · a ban on rallies, would make a mockery of the democratic process. The attorney -general also announced Sunday that military courts could now try civilians on charges ranging from treason to inciting public unrest. A leading Pakistani rights activist, currently under house arrest, said it showed the U.S.-backed general had imposed martial law. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezia Rice welcomed Musharraf's pledge to hold elections by Jan. 9 but expressed concern that he had not set a time limit for restoring citizens' rights. "It's not a perfect situation," Rice said. Musharraf, who took power in a I~ coup, appeared defiant but bitter at rising criticism of his decision to suspend tlie constitution a· week ago, a step he says was necessary to combat rising Islamic militancy that had sown "turmoil, shock and confusion" in Pakistan. "It was the most difficult decision I have ever taken in my life," Musharmf told his first news conference since pushed back by one year. But declaring the emergency Nov. they could be worried by his 3. · refusal to commit to a date for "I could have preserved lifting the emergency. myself, but then it would have "The emergency condamaged the nation.

That will add to concerns that the judiciary's ability to check the power of the executive or security services has heen severely compromised through Musharraf's ~urging of the top ranks of the JUdicia-' ry. · Musharraf said opposition supporters who had been rounded up si nce the emerge ncy would be released to take ·part in the polls; but warned they could be detained again. Anyone who "disturbs law and order and wants to create anarchy in the name of elections and democ.racy, we will not allow that," he said.

During · hi s campai~n . Strickland was highly cntical of how Republican govern·ors and legi slative leaders handled the issue. The Ohio Supreme Court declared the funding system unconstitutional in 1997, saying its reliance on local property taxes had created wide disparities . between wealthy and poor districts. The court in December 2002 ruled that the system remained unconstitutional but didn't give lawmakers a deadline to fix the problem and ended its jurisdiction in the case. Strickland promised supporters that the issue would be a priority once he took office. "I am so committed to solving this school-funding issue that, if I become governor and I do a lot of wonderful things, but I fail to address this school -funding issue , I will have been a failed governor," the candidate said in one speech. However, a year after his election as the first Democratic governor in 16 years, his solution remains only in the discu ssion stages. · He has been busy getting a two-year budget passed, selling Ohio 's tobacco lawsuit payments for $5.5 billion to speed up school · construction eommitments and offer tax breaks for elderly property owners, expanding health care for uninsured children and taking on a restructuring of how elect~ic power is sold.

During · hi s campai~n . Strickland was highly cntical of how Republican govern·ors and legi slative leaders handled the issue. The Ohio Supreme Court declared the funding system unconstitutional in 1997, saying its reliance on local property taxes had created wide disparities . between wealthy and poor districts. The court in December 2002 ruled that the system remained unconstitutional but didn't give lawmakers a deadline to fix the problem and ended its jurisdiction in the case. Strickland promised supporters that the issue would be a priority once he took office. "I am so committed to solving this school-funding issue that, if I become governor and I do a lot of wonderful things, but I fail to address this school -funding issue , I will have been a failed governor," the candidate said in one speech. However, a year after his election as the first Democratic governor in 16 years, his solution remains only in the discu ssion stages. · He has been busy getting a two-year budget passed, selling Ohio 's tobacco lawsuit payments for $5.5 billion to speed up school · construction eommitments and offer tax breaks for elderly property owners, expanding health care for uninsured children and taking on a restructuring of how elect~ic power is sold.

The tournament outing was an extremely hard hitting affair on the part of both teams and was one of the most entertaining contests ever played on the WHS campus. "This was a real slugfest against two very good football teams," v.eteran Falcon coach Ed Cromley said following the taxing victory. "We've got a few people banged up and so do they but we hung in there on shear guts and determination. I'm really proud of our effort, especially how we contained their leading ground gainer." The WHS defensive unit limited talented Warrior running back to I 09 ,yards in 24 carries on the day which is well below his season average of over 210 yards per game . Bennett was held to only 15 first half yards on the ground before l)reaking two runs of 33 and 45 yards in the second half to mask his overall total for the game. The Falcon defense played a huge role in the outcome after coming up with a pai-r of fumble recoveries and intercepting two more Warrior passes. The difference in the game however may have come latr in the third quarter when senior linebacker, Gabe Roush, tackled Dext~r Skidmore in the end zone for a safety to regenerate the Mason County teams effons. The game changing play came after Pocahonta~ County had stopped a long WHS drive inside the two. I "Gabe's (Roush) tackle of the Warrior ball carrier in the end zone for a safety proved to be a tremendous play for us," Cromley said. "We talked about momentum at the half and we were taking it two them after driving down inside · the two but they took the momentum away from us with that goal line stand. Roush's play returned the momentum back to our side and we were able to regain control of the game." Roush was one of several Wahama defenders who had outstanding games with the senior joining Branch , Caleb Roach, Trey Anderson, Brent Jones and Derek Veazey as the defensive leaders. Roush and Branch were in on a team high II tackles apiece in the victory with Roach totaling 10, Anderson nine and eight apiece from Jones and Veazey. Veazey also had a fumble recovery and an ' 'interception with Kyle Zerkle also coming up with a Pocahonta.~ County fumble and picking off a Warrior pass. Wahama took advantage of the first Pocahontas County turnover early in the opening • quarter when Veazey recovered a Warrior fumble at the Falcon 48.

Not since Nov. 14, 1959, had Michigan and Ohio State hoth lost the week before their annual year-end grudge match, wh\ch once again this season will decide the champion. "We don't have time to put our heads down," Buckeyes linebacker James Laurinaitis said. Marcus Thomas' interception gave Illinois the ball with 8:09 left at its own 24. And Ohio State would never get it back. The Illini lined up to punt on a founh -andcinches at their own 34 with 6:53 left, but Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel called timeout and Zook reconsidered after being .prodded by his quarterback. "I will get it," Zook said the sophomore quarterback told him. "You better get it," the coach said he told Williams. · Williams sneaked for the first down and twice more he converted third-and-long on quarterback draws. Tressel · said of the timeout, "I'd like to have that one back." After the game , while Illinois players flooded the field to celebrate at midfield. The two teams got into a small skirmish with some shoving and a couple of punches thrown before .order was restored. Ohio State's Todd Boeckman had his worst game in his first year as a starter. He completed 13 of 23 passes for ]56 yards with three interceptions. Thomas had one pick and forced another in 'the lllinois end zone in the third quarter by tippin~ · it to teammate Antomo Steele. The Illini built the lead to 28-14 with a drive that was manufactured around the running of Mendenhall and Williams. Mendenhall ran for 17 yards in the march, with Williams going for 16 and also hitting Brian Gamble on a 15-yard gainer. Williams, who has been replaced late in. games, finished it off with a 31-yard scoring pass to wide-open Marcus Wilkins at the goal line. The Buckeyes came right back to cut the lead to 28-21 with a 76-yard drive oftheir own, with Boeckman never known as a runner picking up 35 yards on the first snap. The Buckeyes scored on Chris Wells' ISyard run to .the right comer of the end zone. After forcing an Illini www.mydallysentlnel.com 2007 ' punt, the Buckeyes were moving the ball again when Boeckman's deep pass into double coverage was intercepted by Thomas, who leaped high to reach the ball ahead of Brian Robiskie. Two ·Of the best linebackers in the country were on display and both had good games. Leman had 12 stops, including two for negative yardage and Laurinaitis had 12 tackles. Wells ran for 76 yards on 20 carries and sco('ed on runs· of II and 17 yards to lead the Buckeyes. Boeckman was harassed all day and was sacked twice. · The Buckeyes had won their last 28 regular-season games and hadn't lost at all since getting routed 41-14 by Florida in the BCS title game. Zook played a big part in building those Gators, before he was fired by Florida in 2004. The Zooker got the Buckeyes again. A year ago the Illini were 2-10, but they showed signs of improvement for the first time in years in a 17-10 loss to No. I Ohio State. The yPar before the Buckeyes beat Illinois 40-2. Now the Buckeyes must travel to Michigan for a game they knew would decide the Big Ten title and hoped would be for a spot in the national title game. Those hopes are pretty much gone.

"I was just stepping on the plane after we'd been beaten pretty good," lllini coach Ron Zook said after Saturday's game, referring to a 40-2 humiliation at Ohio Stadium. "Juice called me and I said, 'Two years from now when we come back here, it's going to be a different story."' Boy, was it. With Juice Williams tossing a careerbest four touchdown pas~~s - remember how people said he couldn't throw the ball?- and the offense playing keepaway with the ball for the last 8:09, the Illini picked up their first win over a top-ranked team since 1956. . It's not as if they're turning the equipment in at No. 7 Ohio State (10-1. 6-1 Big Ten). The Buckeyes have another big game coming up at No. 23 Michigan (8-3, 6-l) on Saturday.

Wahama fromPage81 swered second half points to snap a 14-14 tie and secure the post-season victory. The tournament outing was an extremely hard hitting affair on the part of both teams and was one of the most entertaining contests ever played on the WHS campus. "This was a real slugfest against two very good football teams," v.eteran Falcon coach Ed Cromley said following the taxing victory. "We've got a few people banged up and so do they but we hung in there on shear guts and determination. I'm really proud of our effort, especially how we contained their leading ground gainer." The WHS defensive unit limited talented Warrior running back to I 09 ,yards in 24 carries on the day which is well below his season average of over 210 yards per game . Bennett was held to only 15 first half yards on the ground before l)reaking two runs of 33 and 45 yards in the second half to mask his overall total for the game. The Falcon defense played a huge role in the outcome after coming up with a pai-r of fumble recoveries and intercepting two more Warrior passes. The difference in the game however may have come latr in the third quarter when senior linebacker, Gabe Roush, tackled Dext~r Skidmore in the end zone for a safety to regenerate the Mason County teams effons. The game changing play came after Pocahonta~ County had stopped a long WHS drive inside the two. I "Gabe's (Roush) tackle of the Warrior ball carrier in the end zone for a safety proved to be a tremendous play for us," Cromley said. "We talked about momentum at the half and we were taking it two them after driving down inside · the two but they took the momentum away from us with that goal line stand. Roush's play returned the momentum back to our side and we were able to regain control of the game." Roush was one of several Wahama defenders who had outstanding games with the senior joining Branch , Caleb Roach, Trey Anderson, Brent Jones and Derek Veazey as the defensive leaders. Roush and Branch were in on a team high II tackles apiece in the victory with Roach totaling 10, Anderson nine and eight apiece from Jones and Veazey. Veazey also had a fumble recovery and an ' 'interception with Kyle Zerkle also coming up with a Pocahonta.~ County fumble and picking off a Warrior pass. Wahama took advantage of the first Pocahontas County turnover early in the opening • quarter when Veazey recovered a Warrior fumble at the Falcon 48. A 26 yard pass from William Zuspan to Zerkle and a 20 yard run by Branch highlighted the Bend Area teams nine play, 52 yard · series with 'Zerkle capping the driye with a shon two yard, fourth down burst for the score.

Six plays later Kendall Beverage hulled his way in from three yards out with Michael Callison knotting the score at .7-7 following the extra point boot with 7:07 left in the half. A Trey ·Anderson sack of Warrior quarterback, Lucas Faulknier, and a short Pocahontas County punt enabled Wahama to gain a 14-7 halftime advantage just before the half concluded. Branch broke off a 19 yard run before finishing off the 28 yard drive with a six yard scamper. Veazey's point after kick made it a 14-7 affair at the half. Zerkle returned the second half kickoff 32 yards to the Falcon 47 but Pocahontas ·county picked off a William Zuspan offering .five plays into the series to halt give the Warriors the ball at the WHS 37.

Wahama answered the Warrior s.core with a long, time consuming drive sparked by the offensive line. With Luke Ingels at center, Jones and Anderson at the guards, Roach and Kevin Klingensmith at the tackles and Roush at ti~ht end the locals began rippmg off huge chunks of yardage. The Bend Area offense marched from its own 24 to the Pocahontas County two but the drive stalled and the Warriors took over after stuffing Brent Jones for no gain at the one.

Not since Nov. 14, 1959, had Michigan and Ohio State hoth lost the week before their annual year-end grudge match, wh\ch once again this season will decide the champion. "We don't have time to put our heads down," Buckeyes linebacker James Laurinaitis said. Marcus Thomas' interception gave Illinois the ball with 8:09 left at its own 24. And Ohio State would never get it back. The Illini lined up to punt on a founh -andcinches at their own 34 with 6:53 left, but Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel called timeout and Zook reconsidered after being .prodded by his quarterback. "I will get it," Zook said the sophomore quarterback told him. "You better get it," the coach said he told Williams. · Williams sneaked for the first down and twice more he converted third-and-long on quarterback draws. Tressel · said of the timeout, "I'd like to have that one back." After the game , while Illinois players flooded the field to celebrate at midfield. The two teams got into a small skirmish with some shoving and a couple of punches thrown before .order was restored. Ohio State's Todd Boeckman had his worst game in his first year as a starter. He completed 13 of 23 passes for ]56 yards with three interceptions. Thomas had one pick and forced another in 'the lllinois end zone in the third quarter by tippin~ · it to teammate Antomo Steele. The Illini built the lead to 28-14 with a drive that was manufactured around the running of Mendenhall and Williams. Mendenhall ran for 17 yards in the march, with Williams going for 16 and also hitting Brian Gamble on a 15-yard gainer. Williams, who has been replaced late in. games, finished it off with a 31-yard scoring pass to wide-open Marcus Wilkins at the goal line. The Buckeyes came right back to cut the lead to 28-21 with a 76-yard drive oftheir own, with Boeckman never known as a runner picking up 35 yards on the first snap. The Buckeyes scored on Chris Wells' ISyard run to .the right comer of the end zone. After forcing an Illini www.mydallysentlnel.com 2007 ' punt, the Buckeyes were moving the ball again when Boeckman's deep pass into double coverage was intercepted by Thomas, who leaped high to reach the ball ahead of Brian Robiskie. Two ·Of the best linebackers in the country were on display and both had good games. Leman had 12 stops, including two for negative yardage and Laurinaitis had 12 tackles. Wells ran for 76 yards on 20 carries and sco('ed on runs· of II and 17 yards to lead the Buckeyes. Boeckman was harassed all day and was sacked twice. · The Buckeyes had won their last 28 regular-season games and hadn't lost at all since getting routed 41-14 by Florida in the BCS title game. Zook played a big part in building those Gators, before he was fired by Florida in 2004. The Zooker got the Buckeyes again. A year ago the Illini were 2-10, but they showed signs of improvement for the first time in years in a 17-10 loss to No. I Ohio State. The yPar before the Buckeyes beat Illinois 40-2. Now the Buckeyes must travel to Michigan for a game they knew would decide the Big Ten title and hoped would be for a spot in the national title game. Those hopes are pretty much gone.
