AP photo/The Collfomlan, Felix Adamo, REYNOLDSBURG As cold weather sets in and tires start burning, the Ohio Department of Agriculture urges Ohioans to work with reputable companies and remember a few basic tips when purchasing fire. wood to heat their homes. Ohio law requires firewood dealers . to sell non-packaged firewood by the cord or by fractions of a cord. Bulk firewood can also be purchased by weight, in ton measurements, if it is weighed on a certified scale. Law prohibits any other unit of measurement such· as rick; rack, face cord, ortr4ckload. 'Truckload" portions vary from dealer to dealer and can be misleading to consumers, who often buy wood in order to cut their heating bills. Consumers can avoid ambiguous measurements by purchasing wood by the cord, half-cord, or quarter-cord. A cord is 128 cubic feet. When a cord is properly stacked, it should be as large as a stack that is 8 feet long by 4 feet high and 4 feet wide. Consumers should contact the seller immediate!~ if they do not receive the quanttty purchased. Buyers should understand basic firewood terms and rules to ensure they receive what was advertised.

In addition , if a seller claims the wood is a specific type, the delivered load must contain at least 90 percent of that species. Before moving firewood this winter, homeowners should also be aware of the state's Emerald Ash Borer quarantine. restricting the movement of firewood in 34 counties. Firewood often is home to invasive insects and diseases and is a major contributor to the spread of these destructive pests. As a result, the department has quarantined areas of the state to limit the movement of infested firewood . Violators of the quarantine can face fines up to $4,000.

See Page81 BY, BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM RACINE - The Ohio Department Natural Resources is continuing its review of the first round of revisions made by Gatling, Ohio to its coal mining permit application, though another round may follow. Scott Stiteler of ODNR said Gatling is likely looking at another set of revisions to answer in the next three to four weeks. As of now, ODNR is still waiting on the hydrology and engineering review to be completed on the first round . Stiteler said multiple rounds of revisions on these types of applications are not uncommon. In the first round of revisions, Gatling did address the Racine water well fields . which sit within the Pittsburgh 8A 'coal seam the company wishes to mine. According to Stiteler, Gatling states in the revision that mining will not·occur in well zone E, which denotes the village's aquifer from which drinking water is <;lerived. Stiteler added the revision also has Gatling stating mining will not occur in the designated well pro- tection area. Gatling's permit application reveals the mining area overlaps into at least pan of Racine's Source Water Protection Area which was developed with help from the Ohio Environmental Proteetion Agency.

Now, he is pan of a growing trend in which ranchers throughout the West are using those same methods to challenge California's dominance of the U.S. dairy market. "Idaho and New Mexico are looking at California and say ing we can do that, too," said Leslie Butler, an agricultural economist at the University of California at Davis. U.S. Department of Agriculture ligures show California produced 3.3 billion gallons of milk in 2006 - a 17 percent increase from five years earlier, but a growth rate that lags several competing states. During that same period, Idaho increased production by 40 percent to 937.4 million gallons. while New Mexico posted a 37 percent jump to 653.6 million gallons. Arizona pumped up output 28 percent to 344 million gallons, and Colorado saw a 29 percent jump to 215 million gallons. "California is still the largest, but the question is, Are they going to be able to maintain growth?" Purdue University agricultural economist Joseph Balagtas said. Ranchers in Idaho, New Mexico and other states are copying many of the same high-yield dairy meth"ods that fueled rapid expansion in California in the mid-1990s. The strategy, which Butler calls "the California model ," includes taking cows off pastures - where they graze in thinly spread hends and concentrating them together in massive dairies. Feed is shipped into operations and manure is hauled out, rather than relying on naturally occurring processes in pastures. Teunissen said his bottom line in Idaho has also benefited f,rom cheaper feed and from utilities that cost one-third as much as his fami ly paid in California. "It was a great opportunity for my wife and I;" he said about his move. PageD6 J.

Attorney General Marc Dann on Friday filed motio.ns in other cases around Ohio based on the ruling, hoping the state with the highest percentage of homes in foreclosure has · found a legal method to address the crisis. Hamilton County Common Pleas Judge Steven E. Martin ruled last week that Wells Fargo Bank couldn't foreclose on a North College Hill home because its lawyers didn't prove that the bank owned the mortgage. The suit was deemed premature. Three federal court judges in· Cleveland, Dayton and Columbus issued similar rulings in cases in the past month. "It is troubling that the plaintiff has filed this case before it had any interest' in it," Martin wrote in a letter to Wells Fargo's lawyer. He then ordered that the bank's law firm must file proof that its clients actually own the mortgages before filing any new foreclosure actions in Hamilton County. The firm, Law Offices of John D: Clunk based in Audson, is the third largest filer of foreclosure actions in Hami lto.n County. With mortgages sold off to investors on W(lll Street, the tme owner of a mortgage isn 't always clear. The holder of the mortgage note is often different from the servicing company or the bank that takes the mortgage payments.

"If we succeed in controlling areas of Diyala close to Baghdad, the rate of incidents in Baghdad ·decreases by 95 percent," al-Obeidi told The Associated Press. B'ritisll Prime Minister Gordon Brown, meanwhile, arrived in southern Iraq on a surprise visit to the southern city of Basra, ~ignaling what London hopes will be the transition from a mili- · tary mission in Iraq to one with a stronger economic component, aimed at reinvigorating a country torn apart by war and years of neglect under Saddam Hussein. "The great venture that started with all the difficulties we face, that cost causalities, ·means we have managed now to get Iraq into a far better position," Brown told British troops, who lined the staircases of an airport base to watch his evening .arrival.

The British plan to handover security responsibili ties for the pi!-rich area to .the Iraqis within the coming weeks. Violence has declined sharply in Iraq since June, when the influx of U.S. • troops to the capital and its surrounding areas began to gain momentum. Also credited. with the decline were the freeze in activities by the Mahdi Army militia, led by the radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and the decision by tens of thousands of Iraqis - must of them Sunni Arab - to join the fight against al-Qaida. But it has been a constant challenge to subdue extremists in Diyala, which is the eastern gateway to Baghdad. More than two years ago, U.S. forces thought they'd turned the corner and American commanders . handed over substantial control of the province to the Iraqi anny in August2005. A year later, the al-Qaidabacked Islamic State of Iraq declared Baqouba as its capital.

About 60 miles south of Baghdad, a roadside, bomb struck the convoy carrying the police chief of Babil provmce, killing him and two of his bodyguards, officials said. Brig. Gen . Qais al-Maamouri , the. police chief of Babil's provincial capital of Hillah,. was the · latest in a series of _assassinations against provincial · !cadets in the mainly Shiite region. Al-Maamouri was politically independent and had a reputation for leading crackdowns against militia fighters and resisting pressure from religious and political groups to release favored members. "This criminal act reflects the deep bitterness inside the terrorist groups who failed to destabilize the security of Babil province due to the great work of the late police chief," said the head of the provincial council's security · committee, Hassan Watwet. Watwet said al-Qaida largely Iraqi Sunni - was the prime suspect in alMaamouri's death. Sunnis have been turning against al-Qaida in significant numbers and signing up for U.S.-hacked security volunteer forces, which Smith said now number 72,000. That represents a sea-change in attitudes among Sunnis, who spearheaded the insurgency against the U.S. and its . allies in 2003 while many Shiite politicians worked with the Americans. But as Shiite militi as drove thou sands of Sunnis from Baghdad and other areas, ·many in the Sunni community have reached out to the Americans as protection against the rival sect. · On Sunday, Iraq's Sunni Arab vice president said he supported an agreer:nent for a long-term U.S. presence, signaling a rift between the moderate mainstream of the once-dominant Sunni Arab community and hard-liners on the influence of the United States in l~q .

Ptesident Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki signed a "declaration . of principles" on Nov. 26 that set the foundation for a potential long-term U.S. troop presence in Iraq and confirmed that Washington and Baghdad will hash out an "enduring" relationship.

Suicide attack> have killed more than 20 people in the last three days in Diyala province , a tribal patchwork of Sunni Arabs, Shiites and Kurds that stretches from Baghdad to the hor.der with Iran. Defense Minister AbdulQader ai-Obeidi told The Associated Press that preparations had begun for a fresh military operation in the · provincial capital Baqouba, about 35. miles from Baghdad. . "If we succeed in controlling areas of Diyala close to Baghdad, the rate of incidents in Baghdad ·decreases by 95 percent," al-Obeidi told The Associated Press. B'ritisll Prime Minister Gordon Brown, meanwhile, arrived in southern Iraq on a surprise visit to the southern city of Basra, ~ignaling what London hopes will be the transition from a mili- · tary mission in Iraq to one with a stronger economic component, aimed at reinvigorating a country torn apart by war and years of neglect under Saddam Hussein. "The great venture that started with all the difficulties we face, that cost causalities, ·means we have managed now to get Iraq into a far better position," Brown told British troops, who lined the staircases of an airport base to watch his evening .arrival. "Not that violence has ended, but we are able to move to provin- ~ • cia! Iraqi control and that's thanks to everything you have achieved ." The British plan to handover security responsibili ties for the pi!-rich area to .the Iraqis within the coming weeks. Violence has declined sharply in Iraq since June, when the influx of U.S. • troops to the capital and its surrounding areas began to gain momentum. Also credited. with the decline were the freeze in activities by the Mahdi Army militia, led by the radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, and the decision by tens of thousands of Iraqis - must of them Sunni Arab - to join the fight against al-Qaida. But it has been a constant challenge to subdue extremists in Diyala, which is the eastern gateway to Baghdad. More than two years ago, U.S. forces thought they'd turned the corner and American commanders . handed over substantial control of the province to the Iraqi anny in August2005. A year later, the al-Qaidabacked Islamic State of Iraq declared Baqouba as its capital. This summer, U.S. and Iraqi forces launched a new AI' photo drive in Diyala, and the Members .of the ai-Mujahedeen army gesture on the hood of Americans have fostered a burned car after clashing with lr(!ql policemen in the town groups of former militants of Buhriz about 60 kilometers (35 miles) north of Baghdad, who have switched sides in Iraq, Sunday. the fight against al-Qaida.

There was no word on casualties or damage. But, Smith said, "the enemy has dispersed well away from the cities into the countryside." About 60 miles south of Baghdad, a roadside, bomb struck the convoy carrying the police chief of Babil provmce, killing him and two of his bodyguards, officials said. Brig. Gen . Qais al-Maamouri , the. police chief of Babil's provincial capital of Hillah,. was the · latest in a series of _assassinations against provincial · !cadets in the mainly Shiite region. Al-Maamouri was politically independent and had a reputation for leading crackdowns against militia fighters and resisting pressure from religious and political groups to release favored members. "This criminal act reflects the deep bitterness inside the terrorist groups who failed to destabilize the security of Babil province due to the great work of the late police chief," said the head of the provincial council's security · committee, Hassan Watwet. Watwet said al-Qaida largely Iraqi Sunni - was the prime suspect in alMaamouri's death. Sunnis have been turning against al-Qaida in significant numbers and signing up for U.S.-hacked security volunteer forces, which Smith said now number 72,000. That represents a sea-change in attitudes among Sunnis, who spearheaded the insurgency against the U.S. and its . allies in 2003 while many Shiite politicians worked with the Americans. But as Shiite militi as drove thou sands of Sunnis from Baghdad and other areas, ·many in the Sunni community have reached out to the Americans as protection against the rival sect. · On Sunday, Iraq's Sunni Arab vice president said he supported an agreer:nent for a long-term U.S. presence, signaling a rift between the moderate mainstream of the once-dominant Sunni Arab community and hard-liners on the influence of the United States in l~q . "There is no doubt that Iraq needs a strong and honest partner 1oday that has the ability and is ready to help Iraq," Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi said during an. address at a regional security conference in Manama, Bahrain. "Yes, I am for an agreement with the United States -·of America, · but this does not mean that Iraq will not be able to sign bilateral agreements with other countries in the world." Ptesident Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki signed a "declaration . of principles" on Nov. 26 that set the foundation for a potential long-term U.S. troop presence in Iraq and confirmed that Washington and Baghdad will hash out an "enduring" relationship. The agreement between al-Maliki and Bush is based on an August political manifesto, which al -Hashemi signed along with top Shiite and Kurdish leaders, calling for among ·other things a long-term "strategic partnership" with the United States . c~ay ·Merry At visitations, loved ones·of Omaha mall shooting victims begin paying their respects Christmas to &Jmeone ~pecial with a &ntinel Christmas Angel ' BY OSKAR GARCIA Jorgensen's survivors Edmunds said she remembers include her husband and 94- Joy as a quiet, shy teenager, year-old mother, three chii- ' not rambunctious.

Don't close the book on the Clintons A few weel!:s ago, I went rummaging through my attic looking for a box of books. Not just any box of books: my . Clinton books. Or, should I say, given the range and number of tomes, my Clinton library. I'd tucked it all away sometime after 9/11 when a burgeoning collection· on Islam needed shelf space. Being able to reach for "What the Koran Really Says" by Ibn Warraq, say, and not chapter and verse on Clinton corruption, was suddenly an obvious priority. . We were at war, yes, but there was some consolation in the fact that our long national nightmare - the Clintons - was over. At ·least it was safe to pack away the books. Temporarily. We are still at war, but, like a recurring dream, the Clintons - or, as Mark Levin pointedly prefers, "the Clinton crime family" - is back , the missus now leading in their .well-worn slot at the focal point of national politics. But there is ·something missing this time around. Something colossal. That something is their past- the Clinton past of political malfeasance and corruption.

But I refer also to the commonplace lies and routine treachery Diana West· the American people were confronted with, subjected to and degraded by over two Clinton terms . . In other words, the Clinton past is our past as well - the history of every American who hved through those years. And it has gone missing. To behold this presidential election cycle, it seems as if the ·entire nation has metaphorically put their Clinton libraries in their attics. The resulting gap in national discourse keeps presenting itself to me, particularly when called on to discuss Mrs. Clinton just as though she were an ordinary presidential candidate someone with a modest Senate record and a keen interest in political affairs, weighing in on the events of the day. • She's not. There's not only all that shameful Clinton "baggage," but all those questions about what's inside that baggage, questions she has never, ever acknowledged, let alone answered.

BY GEORGE MERRITT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ARVADA, Colo. - · A gunman killed two staff members at a missionary training center early Sunday after being told he couldn't spend the night, and about 12 hours later four people were shot outside a rnegachurch in Colorado Spnngs. Colorado Springs pol ice Lt. Fletcher Howard said a suspect had been detained in the shootings there. Authorities in Arvada. a Denver suburb about 65 miles north, said no one had been captured in the shoot. ings there. It was not immediately known whether the shootings were·· related, but Arvada authorities said they were sharing inforrnation with Colorado Springs investigators. . Howard declined to say whether . the Colorado Springs suspect had been shot. The shQoting there ' was reported shortly after I p.m. Police sealed off the church, but it was not clear whether any parishioners were still inside. The conditions of the four people shot Sunday afternoon in Colorado Springs, in the parking lot of the New Life Church, was not immediately known, ·El Paso County Sheriff's Lt. Lari Sevene said. · The first shooting hap- pened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission center in Arvada, a Denver suburb, police spokeswoman Susan Medina said . A man and a woman were killed and two men were wounded, Medina said. All four were staff members with the center, said Paul Filidis, a Colorado Springsbased spokesman wtth Youth With a Mission. The gun man came to the door of the Arvada dormito~ ry seeking shelter, asking whether he could spend the night, said Peter Warren, director of Youth With a Mission Denver. When told he couldn't stay, the man walked inside, open~d fire, then left on foot, Warren said. . Warren said he didn't know whether any of the students or staff knew the gunman. "We don't know why" he came to the dormitory, Warren said. Witnesses told police that the gunman was a 20-yearold white male, wearing a dark jacket and skull cap, who left on foot. He may have glasses or a beard. Police with dogs searched the area through the night, and resideius of nearby homes were notified by reverse 911 to be on the lookout. Medina said residents were asked to look out their windows ' for any tracks left in the snow during the night. About 4 inches of snow had fallen in the center area in the past day. Early Sunday afternoon, Lance Coles, a pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, received a report that ·a man was shooting at peopfe in the church parking lot and that the gunman may have entered the church. he told The Associated Press. · New Life was founded. by the Rev. Te~ Haggard, who _ was fired last year after a former male prostitute alleged he had a thre-e-year cash-for-sex relationship with him . Haggard, then the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, admitted committing undi sclosed "sexual immorality." The New Life church is one of ~-olorado's largest wuh about 10,000 members. Police in Arvada identified the victims of the shooting there as Tiffany Johnson, 26, and Philip Crous.e, 23. Youth With a Mission said Johnson was from Minnesota and Crouse was from Alaska. The missionary center identified the . wounded as Dan Griebenow, 24, of South Dakota, and Charlie Bninch, 22. whose hometown wasn't immediately known. One of the men was in critical condition, and the other was stable, police - said. About 45 ·people were · evacuated from the Youth cnv with a Mission dormitory and moved to an undis.dosed location.

Being able to reach for "What the Koran Really Says" by Ibn Warraq, say, and not chapter and verse on Clinton corruption, was suddenly an obvious priority. . We were at war, yes, but there was some consolation in the fact that our long national nightmare - the Clintons - was over. At ·least it was safe to pack away the books. Temporarily. We are still at war, but, like a recurring dream, the Clintons - or, as Mark Levin pointedly prefers, "the Clinton crime family" - is back , the missus now leading in their .well-worn slot at the focal point of national politics.

BY GEORGE MERRITT ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER ARVADA, Colo. - · A gunman killed two staff members at a missionary training center early Sunday after being told he couldn't spend the night, and about 12 hours later four people were shot outside a rnegachurch in Colorado Spnngs. Colorado Springs pol ice Lt. Fletcher Howard said a suspect had been detained in the shootings there. Authorities in Arvada. a Denver suburb about 65 miles north, said no one had been captured in the shoot. ings there. It was not immediately known whether the shootings were·· related, but Arvada authorities said they were sharing inforrnation with Colorado Springs investigators. . Howard declined to say whether . the Colorado Springs suspect had been shot. The shQoting there ' was reported shortly after I p.m. Police sealed off the church, but it was not clear whether any parishioners were still inside. The conditions of the four people shot Sunday afternoon in Colorado Springs, in the parking lot of the New Life Church, was not immediately known, ·El Paso County Sheriff's Lt. Lari Sevene said. · The first shooting hap- pened at about 12:30 a.m. at the Youth With a Mission center in Arvada, a Denver suburb, police spokeswoman Susan Medina said . A man and a woman were killed and two men were wounded, Medina said. All four were staff members with the center, said Paul Filidis, a Colorado Springsbased spokesman wtth Youth With a Mission. The gun man came to the door of the Arvada dormito~ ry seeking shelter, asking whether he could spend the night, said Peter Warren, director of Youth With a Mission Denver. When told he couldn't stay, the man walked inside, open~d fire, then left on foot, Warren said. . Warren said he didn't know whether any of the students or staff knew the gunman. "We don't know why" he came to the dormitory, Warren said. Witnesses told police that the gunman was a 20-yearold white male, wearing a dark jacket and skull cap, who left on foot. He may have glasses or a beard. Police with dogs searched the area through the night, and resideius of nearby homes were notified by reverse 911 to be on the lookout. Medina said residents were asked to look out their windows ' for any tracks left in the snow during the night. About 4 inches of snow had fallen in the center area in the past day. Early Sunday afternoon, Lance Coles, a pastor at New Life Church in Colorado Springs, received a report that ·a man was shooting at peopfe in the church parking lot and that the gunman may have entered the church. he told The Associated Press. · New Life was founded. by the Rev. Te~ Haggard, who _ was fired last year after a former male prostitute alleged he had a thre-e-year cash-for-sex relationship with him . Haggard, then the president of the National Association of Evangelicals, admitted committing undi sclosed "sexual immorality." The New Life church is one of ~-olorado's largest wuh about 10,000 members. Police in Arvada identified the victims of the shooting there as Tiffany Johnson, 26, and Philip Crous.e, 23. Youth With a Mission said Johnson was from Minnesota and Crouse was from Alaska. The missionary center identified the . wounded as Dan Griebenow, 24, of South Dakota, and Charlie Bninch, 22. whose hometown wasn't immediately known. One of the men was in critical condition, and the other was stable, police - said. About 45 ·people were · evacuated from the Youth cnv with a Mission dormitory and moved to an undis.dosed location. The missionary center is located on the grounds of the Faith Bible Chapel. Cheril Morrison, wife of chapel pastor George Morrison, said Crouse had just hung up Christmas lights at her home and that Johnson was "an amazingly beautiful person.'' Mimi Martin, who lives ncar the center, said she received the warning call at about 9 a.m. warning neighbors to keep their doors and windows locked. "Why would · anybody want to hurt those kids?" Martin said. Darv Smith, director of a Youth With a Mission center in Boulder, said people ranging from their late teens to their 70s undergo a 12week course that prepares them to be missionaries. He said the center trains about 300 people a year. Filidis said staffers are usually former missionaries themselves and .that the "mercy ministries"· performed by trainees include orphanage work. He said he didn' t know where the group being trained in Arvada was going to be sent. Youth With a Mission was started in 1960 and now has · I, tOO locations with 16,000 full -time staff, Smith said.

"He said criticisms were trumped-up charges against Zimbabwe and the result of arrogance from the EU," according to a European official who attended the summit, but who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to discuss the details publicly. Ghanian President John Kufuor, current chair of the AU, said the organization supports mediation efforts among Zimbabwe 's main political parties being led by South African President Thabo Mbeki and aimed at political reform. Gut he msisted that meddling from outside Africa would be unhelpfuL "We want to encourage a homegrown solution so there will be a restoration of normalcy and good governance for the people of Zimbabwe," Kufuor said. Measures to help end the conflict in' the western Sudanese region of Darfur were another point of contention. Sudanese President Omar ai-Bashir has so far refused to allow non- Africans into a 26,000-strong U.N.- A.U. peacekeeping force planned for Darfur.

New deals are 'meant to be finalized by Dec. 31'.

Pastor's orders. Pastor Keith Troy, stunned· by the death of a 58-year-old church member a day after deli vering Thanksgiving meals to the homeless. told every man in his congregation - estimated at 900 - to see a doctor within 30 days. Roland K. Burks had died of complications from diabetes and high blood pressure. Troy delivered his message during a sermon last Sunday and said something good should come from Burks' death. "If you don' t have a doctor, we' ll lind you one:· he told the congregation. "And if economics are an issue, we'll help you . But one way or another, every man in this church will be checked out." Burks' death was one of three to church members in past two weeks. All we re black men, and all apparently were caused by either preventable or treatable diseases. Improving health is especially important in the black community, and New Salem is positioned to be a leader, Troy said. · Diabetes and undetected prostate cancer are particular · · . problems for black men. In Franklin County, the death rate attributed to diabetes among black men is three times higher than that among white men, according to the Ohio DepartJnent of Health. The rate for prostate cancer is 2.3 tinies higher. · Studies have indicated that black men live an average of7.1 fewer years than other racial groups and have a disproportionatel y higher mortality rate in every leading cause of death. During last Sunday's service, Troy called the church's deacons forward to stand at the end of each row. Then he asked each man in church to write his name and phone number on a piece of paper. The deacons took the lists, and are now responsible to r fo llowing up with those in their rows to make sure a doctor's appointment has ·bee n made. • "Men don 't like to talk about their health, and men don' t like to go to doctors," Troy-said. "But now we' ve made ourselves accountable to one another. We ' ve made men responsible tor me.n." Dr. Augustus Parker, an obstetrici an-gynecologi st at Mount Carmel East, listened last Sunday as his minister made the . emotional plea. " I thought it indicated to everyone there that the pastor was interested in more than just making, sure you show up on Sunday and put money in the pot," he said. "As a physician, I knew immediately this would make a difference for many men - just knowing that someone cared." Burks had been Jimmy Logan's best friend, so it had already been a ditlicult service. Then came Troy's announcement. "For men, it's a lot of, 'I should, I could, I would, but I don 't,"' said Logan, a 46-year-old bank employee from suburban Gahanna. ''But we're all servants, and we can't do what we need to do in the community if we don 't have ourselves togeth er." . .

In rapid fire, Florida's sophomore quarterback thanked everyone he could think of, some of. them twice. When it came time to take hold of the 25-pound · bronze statue, he looked as if he wasn't sure whether he should run with the prize or throw it. He does both so well. . Florida's folk-hero quarterback with the rugged running style and magnetic ·personality became the first sophomore to win the Heisman on Saturday night. "I am fortunate, fortunate for a lot of things," Tehow said. "God truly blessed me and this just adds on. It' s an honor. I m so happy to be here." ~ince 1935, when Jay Berwanger of Chicago won the first Heisman, every winner had been a junior or senior - until Tebow, who picked up quite a souvenir on his first trip to New York. "It's surreal little bit," he said. "It's just overwhelming." He beat out Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, the frrst player sirice 1949 to finish second in consecutive seasons. Tebow received 1,957 points and 462 first-place votes to McFadden's 1,703 points and 291 first-place votes. "I think it's awesome you' re known forever as a Heisman Trophy winner," Tebow said.

''I'm just trying to get ready for Michigan," Tebow said. The Gators play the Wolverines in the Capital One Bowl on Jan. I, but it's hard not to peek ahead to Florida's 2008 season and wonder if Tebow can join Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winners. The Ohio . State tailback did it in 1974 and '75. Since then, only a handful of players have had a chance to match him. Oklahoma tailback Billy Sims came close, finishing second to USC's Charles White in 1979. BYu' quarterback Ty Qetmer (1990), quarterback Oklahoma Jason White (2003) and Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart (2004) also returned to school after winning a Heisman. Each followed-up with a thirdplace finish. Tebow has said he plans to complete four seasons at Florida, though he wouldn't be the first kid to change his mind and jump to the NFL early. If he does play out the string and take two more shots at the Heisman Trophy, he could conceivably become the first threetime winner. Tebow certainly has the talent to win another Heisman. He's no fluke. He's ~ot the team to do it, ioo. He II be surrounded by potential All-Americans and future NFL draft picks. Playing for Urban Meyer, Tebow has a coach who's about as good as there is at putting together an offense. But what won the Heisman for Tebow was his workload, especially in the running game. The 235pound battering ram averaged 16 carries a game and set a Southeastern Conference record with 22 rushing touchdowns.

Pastor's orders. Pastor Keith Troy, stunned· by the death of a 58-year-old church member a day after deli vering Thanksgiving meals to the homeless. told every man in his congregation - estimated at 900 - to see a doctor within 30 days. Roland K. Burks had died of complications from diabetes and high blood pressure. Troy delivered his message during a sermon last Sunday and said something good should come from Burks' death. "If you don' t have a doctor, we' ll lind you one:· he told the congregation. "And if economics are an issue, we'll help you . But one way or another, every man in this church will be checked out." Burks' death was one of three to church members in past two weeks. All we re black men, and all apparently were caused by either preventable or treatable diseases. Improving health is especially important in the black community, and New Salem is positioned to be a leader, Troy said. · Diabetes and undetected prostate cancer are particular · · . problems for black men. In Franklin County, the death rate attributed to diabetes among black men is three times higher than that among white men, according to the Ohio DepartJnent of Health. The rate for prostate cancer is 2.3 tinies higher. · Studies have indicated that black men live an average of7.1 fewer years than other racial groups and have a disproportionatel y higher mortality rate in every leading cause of death. During last Sunday's service, Troy called the church's deacons forward to stand at the end of each row. Then he asked each man in church to write his name and phone number on a piece of paper. The deacons took the lists, and are now responsible to r fo llowing up with those in their rows to make sure a doctor's appointment has ·bee n made. • "Men don 't like to talk about their health, and men don' t like to go to doctors," Troy-said. "But now we' ve made ourselves accountable to one another. We ' ve made men responsible tor me.n." Dr. Augustus Parker, an obstetrici an-gynecologi st at Mount Carmel East, listened last Sunday as his minister made the . emotional plea. " I thought it indicated to everyone there that the pastor was interested in more than just making, sure you show up on Sunday and put money in the pot," he said. "As a physician, I knew immediately this would make a difference for many men - just knowing that someone cared." Burks had been Jimmy Logan's best friend, so it had already been a ditlicult service. Then came Troy's announcement. "For men, it's a lot of, 'I should, I could, I would, but I don 't,"' said Logan, a 46-year-old bank employee from suburban Gahanna. ''But we're all servants, and we can't do what we need to do in the community if we don 't have ourselves togeth er." . .

In rapid fire, Florida's sophomore quarterback thanked everyone he could think of, some of. them twice. When it came time to take hold of the 25-pound · bronze statue, he looked as if he wasn't sure whether he should run with the prize or throw it. He does both so well. . Florida's folk-hero quarterback with the rugged running style and magnetic ·personality became the first sophomore to win the Heisman on Saturday night. "I am fortunate, fortunate for a lot of things," Tehow said. "God truly blessed me and this just adds on. It' s an honor. I m so happy to be here." ~ince 1935, when Jay Berwanger of Chicago won the first Heisman, every winner had been a junior or senior - until Tebow, who picked up quite a souvenir on his first trip to New York. "It's surreal little bit," he said. "It's just overwhelming." He beat out Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, the frrst player sirice 1949 to finish second in consecutive seasons. Tebow received 1,957 points and 462 first-place votes to McFadden's 1,703 points and 291 first-place votes. "I think it's awesome you' re known forever as a Heisman Trophy winner," Tebow said.

Russo RALPH NEW YORK Tim Tebow has two years to catch Archie Griffin maybe even pass him. The Florida quarterback had been the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy for about I 0 minutes Saturday night in Manhattan w])en the inevitable questions started about winning a second bronze statue. By the time he got 10 the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square to face a room full of reporters and was asked again about · repeating, he couldn't help but laugh. . ''I'm just trying to get ready for Michigan," Tebow said. The Gators play the Wolverines in the Capital One Bowl on Jan. I, but it's hard not to peek ahead to Florida's 2008 season and wonder if Tebow can join Griffin as the only two-time Heisman winners. The Ohio . State tailback did it in 1974 and '75. Since then, only a handful of players have had a chance to match him. Oklahoma tailback Billy Sims came close, finishing second to USC's Charles White in 1979. BYu' quarterback Ty Qetmer (1990), quarterback Oklahoma Jason White (2003) and Southern California quarterback Matt Leinart (2004) also returned to school after winning a Heisman. Each followed-up with a thirdplace finish. Tebow has said he plans to complete four seasons at Florida, though he wouldn't be the first kid to change his mind and jump to the NFL early. If he does play out the string and take two more shots at the Heisman Trophy, he could conceivably become the first threetime winner. Tebow certainly has the talent to win another Heisman. He's no fluke. He's ~ot the team to do it, ioo. He II be surrounded by potential All-Americans and future NFL draft picks. Playing for Urban Meyer, Tebow has a coach who's about as good as there is at putting together an offense. But what won the Heisman for Tebow was his workload, especially in the running game. The 235pound battering ram averaged 16 carries a game and set a Southeastern Conference record with 22 rushing touchdowns.

And still unbeaten Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, shattering Steelers safety Anthony Smith's guarantee of a victory, Randy Moss caught two of them and New England crushed Pittsburgh 34-13. on Sunday. The lopsided victory against the NFL's sting1est defense followed a. two-game struggle m wh1ch the Patriots ( 13-0) needed late comebacks to beat teams with losing records, Philadelphia and Baltimore. They had a shon week to prepare for the Steelers (9-4) after beating the Ravens on Monday night on a touchdown with 44 seconds left. Still, the Patriots became the fifth team with a ' 13-0 record,. joming the 1934 Chicago Bears, 1972 Miami Dolphins, 1998 Denver Broncos and 2005 Indianapolis Colts. They can become the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish a regular season undefeated: those Dolphms were 14-0, then won three postseason games for the NFL s only perfeet season. The victory clinched a flfStround playoff bye, and the Patriots should be big favorites to take a 15-0 record into their; season finale at the New York G1ants.

From that moment on, it got wetter and worse. Rudi Johnson ran I yard for a touchdown, Shayne Graham kicked four field goals on a na~ty day, and the Cincinnati Bengals took advantage of the St. Louis Rams' nov1ce quarterback for a 19-10 victory Sunday. Neither team had much fun on an afternoon more suitable Heisman for holding a clipboard than throwing a football. A steady, often driving rain on a 38-degree afternoon made it tough to throw, catch or hold onto the slick footballs - not what the Rams (3-10) wanted on a day when they were down to their thirdstring quarterback. Berlin, a former Miami Hurricane and Florida Gator who entered the NFL as an undrafted .free agent, got to play because injuries wiped dUt the Rams' top two options. Marc Bulger sat out a second straight game with a No. I LSU.

"Tim chance this season, but Tebow can run whatever Heisman voters didn't hold offense he needs to run." Florida's failure to defend Florida fans might argue its nauonal title against him.

That made it easy on the Bengals (5-8), who needed only to contain running back Steven Jackson and avoid mistakes to get a win. They were barely able to do it. Fakhir Brown intercepted Carson Palmer's first pass of the second half and returned it 36 yards for his first career touchdown, cutting it to I0-7 . Jackson ran 18 times for 91 yards and caught four passes for 26 yards. And if joining Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerffel as the only Florida players to win the Heisman Trophy wasn't enough to make Tebow the most popuJar man in Gainesville, there's one more reason for Gators fans to be excited: the prom1se of two more years of Tebow, who has said he has no plans to leave school after hts junior season. Tebow idolized Wuerffel, and the former Gator was the first Heisman winner the new member of the club hugged when he went to accept the trophy. "That was special," Tebow said. "He was a big role model for me growing up." The legend of Tebow started \ at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra . Beach, Fla., where he once finished a game playing on a broken leg. · Homeschooled by missionary parents who run an ()rphanage in the Philippines, Tebow took advantage of a Florida state law to play for Neaser<~_bout 90 miles from t he University of Florida campus. Tebow has worked and preached at his parents' orphanuge since he was 15. He regularly speaks at schools and delivered his message of faith at a prison in Florida earlier thi s year.

Berlin was 17-of-28 for · 153 yards. Season-long injury problems at quarterback and the offensive line have taken a toll on the Rams' offense, which has scored fewer than 20 points ,nine times. Graham made field goals of 27, 38, 32 and 46 yards, rescuing an offense that has trouble completing drives. ~ribune - Sentinel - l\ CLA·SSIFIED· The Daily Sentinel • Page 83 i~ter ..

And still unbeaten Tom Brady threw four touchdown passes, shattering Steelers safety Anthony Smith's guarantee of a victory, Randy Moss caught two of them and New England crushed Pittsburgh 34-13. on Sunday. The lopsided victory against the NFL's sting1est defense followed a. two-game struggle m wh1ch the Patriots ( 13-0) needed late comebacks to beat teams with losing records, Philadelphia and Baltimore. They had a shon week to prepare for the Steelers (9-4) after beating the Ravens on Monday night on a touchdown with 44 seconds left. Still, the Patriots became the fifth team with a ' 13-0 record,. joming the 1934 Chicago Bears, 1972 Miami Dolphins, 1998 Denver Broncos and 2005 Indianapolis Colts. They can become the first team since the 1972 Dolphins to finish a regular season undefeated: those Dolphms were 14-0, then won three postseason games for the NFL s only perfeet season. The victory clinched a flfStround playoff bye, and the Patriots should be big favorites to take a 15-0 record into their; season finale at the New York G1ants.

From that moment on, it got wetter and worse. Rudi Johnson ran I yard for a touchdown, Shayne Graham kicked four field goals on a na~ty day, and the Cincinnati Bengals took advantage of the St. Louis Rams' nov1ce quarterback for a 19-10 victory Sunday. Neither team had much fun on an afternoon more suitable Heisman for holding a clipboard than throwing a football. A steady, often driving rain on a 38-degree afternoon made it tough to throw, catch or hold onto the slick footballs - not what the Rams (3-10) wanted on a day when they were down to their thirdstring quarterback. Berlin, a former Miami Hurricane and Florida Gator who entered the NFL as an undrafted .free agent, got to play because injuries wiped dUt the Rams' top two options.

That made it easy on the Bengals (5-8), who needed only to contain running back Steven Jackson and avoid mistakes to get a win. They were barely able to do it. Fakhir Brown intercepted Carson Palmer's first pass of the second half and returned it 36 yards for his first career touchdown, cutting it to I0-7 . Jackson ran 18 times for 91 yards and caught four passes for 26 yards. And if joining Steve Spurrier and Danny Wuerffel as the only Florida players to win the Heisman Trophy wasn't enough to make Tebow the most popuJar man in Gainesville, there's one more reason for Gators fans to be excited: the prom1se of two more years of Tebow, who has said he has no plans to leave school after hts junior season. Tebow idolized Wuerffel, and the former Gator was the first Heisman winner the new member of the club hugged when he went to accept the trophy. "That was special," Tebow said. "He was a big role model for me growing up." The legend of Tebow started \ at Nease High School in Ponte Vedra .

His voluntary early stan on his prison tenn'' Answers to these questions, among others. will detem1ine how much time the suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback · will serve in pri son for his role in a federal dogfighting consptracy. And the only man who knows the answers . is U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, who will sentence Vick in a packed courtroom Monday while the disgraced NFL star's supporters ami animal-rights activists rally outside. . Vick faces a maximum of five years in prison. Hudson is not bound by sentencing guidelines that suggest a year to 18 months, or prosecutors' recommendation. Hudson already has sentenced two of Vick's codefendants to 18 months and 21 months - slightly more than prosecutors recommended, but still within the guidelines. Legal experts · said Hudson's willingness to stick . to the guidel ines in those cases is a positive sign for Vick, but bY. no means a guarantee he wtll get similar treatment because so many factors could work against him.· · . For example, Vick admitted he bankrolled the "Bad Newz Kennels" dogfighting enterprise on a 15"acre property he owned in rural southeastern Virginia. He also gave his associates money to bet on the fights but said he did not share in any winnings. "The judge could say that but for the money, this might not have happened - or might not have happened on the scale that it did," said Linda Malone, a law professor at the College of William &Mary. Richmond attorney Steve Benjamin, secretary of the National Association of Crimi nal Defense Lawyers, noted the plea agreement Vick negotiated wnh prosec utors did not include any sentencing enhancement for a leadershi p role in the conspiracy. But that does not precl ude Hudson from considering that rule, Benjamin said. Perhaps a bigger concern for Vtck. according to Malone, is the extent of his ·involvement in executing dogs. Vick admitted helping kill s i ~ to eight pit bulls. Any details the judge learns about exactly what Vick did could weigh heavily in his decision, Marone smd. She said Huds~m also li.kei,Y will take a dtm vtew of Vtck s positive test for marijuana in September - a violation of the conditions set for Vick's release after he pleaded guilty. The i'nfraction prompted Hudson to impose a curfew and electronic monitoring. Vick voluntarily began serving his prison tc;rm Nov. 19, a move his lawyer said demonstrated Vick's willingness to take responsibility for his actions. '.'It was beneficial that . he went in to serve his sentence before Thanksgiving, but that wasn't completelY. altruistic because he couldn t play football anyway,".Malone said. Defendants typically get credit for acceptance of responsibility and contrition. Vick apologi;j:ed at a news conference after entering his guilty plea, and he will have an opportunity .to speak directly to the court before he is sentenced. Hudson also could hear from witnesses. According to the coun, the sentencing hearing is expected to last two to four hours. The sentencings of co-defendants Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips combined took only a half hour. No witnesses testified at those hearmgs. Yick's lead attorney, Billy Martin, did not respond to an e-mail inquiry about possible character. witnesses and whether Vick would directly address the court. Like Yick's previous court appearances, thi s one is expected to attract a throng of reporters, as well as demonstrators. Police will close streets around the federal courthouse. The Atlantabased New Order Human Rights.Organi~t ion plans to send members to support Vick, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals will ' protest the mistreatment of dogs. Gerald Rose. founder and CEO of New Order, said he hopes Hudson will be lenient. "Michael Vick made a bad mistake," he said. "But at the same time, we believe in sec.ond chances. I think God has got Michael Vick 's attention. He's going to come back a better man." Spokesmen for PETA and the Humane Society of the United States said they trust Hudson to make the right decision. "We just want to make sure the sentencing is in line npt only with the two guys who were already sentenced, but also in line with just the outrage and the horror the J?I!Ople have over this case, said PETA spokesman Dan Shannon. John Goodwin, manager of animal fighting issues for the Humane Soctety, said the organization is sensitive to the fact that Hudson will consider the de~ree of Vick's cooperation wtth authorities in naming others involved in dogfighting rings or other crimes. "I seriously doubt he's going to go below what he did for Peace and Phillips," Goodwin said. "I would anticipate a sentence in that range or a little higher, and we wtll be happy with that because Michael Vick has suffered more consequences than anyone ever has·for dogfighting." Those consequences include the loss of a stellar NFL career, legions of adoring fans,· lucrative endorsement deals, and now, his freedom. "This whole case has sent a pretty strong message to people," Goodwin said. "You get mvolved in dogfighting, you're throwing your future away.' Sho · Monday, December tO; 2007 www.mydailysentinel.com ' Raiders fall to Panthers, 86-77 BY ERIC RANDOLPH SPORTS@MYDAILYSENTINEl.COM CH ES HIRE - If yo u looked at the scoreboard after the River Valley Raiders' basketball game on ·Saturday night, yo u· mi ght thin k two NBA teams had j ust played. . Ryan Eggleton had five three -pointers, . includin g. three in the fourth quarter, but the Raiders (2-1, 0-1) lost for the first time thi s season, 86-77 , in a game that had a co mbined 16'3 points scored. · River Valley battled the Chesapeake Panthers (2 -1, 1-0) for four solid qu arters on Saturday night, but their comeback came up a little short in the end because of timely scoring from the Panthers. From start to fini sh, the Raiders and Panthers pushed the pace. After the teams traded ba skets to start the game,. Chesapeake took a lead that the)' would hold all the way into the fourth quarter. The Panthers tried to press the Raiders in the backcourt early . on but abandoned that strategy almost immediately when River Valley easily moved the ball down the floor, something they would. do all night . Down by eight at one point, the Raiders would get within four points by the end of the first quarter on senior Marcus Frazier's last -second shot. The score after one was 25 -21. The second quarter was back-and-forth for the first three minutes; a . basket at one end was met With a basket at the other. Able to string together a few, rare consecutive baskets; River Valley · would cut the lead to one point and do so again on three other occasions, but Chesapeake was quick to score each time, doing well to hold off t.he Eggleton McAvena Raiders. An up and dow n seco nd quart er would find the lead being stretched to seven again , but it would fin ish at five with the score 47 -42. It would not get an y clos-· er than that for River Valley in the third quarter. In fact, Che sapeake would have their largest lead of the game before it wa s done, twice go ing up by eleven . But ,when it seemed like the Panthers might run away with it, two crucial three-pointers from sophomore Cody McAvena would help th.e Raiders hang around, setting the stage for their comeback in the fourth. The score after three quarters was 62-56. River Valley started the fourth on a 5-0 run , getting to within one for the first time since the second quarter on Eggleton's third three-pointer of the game. re sponded Chesapeake wjth a"nother fast-break score, but it wasn't enough to stop the Raiders' momentum. Then finally, at the 5:43 mark, after four quarters of fighting to get back into the game, EggletOn hit his most critical three -point field goal to tie the score at 64. And when Frazier hit his second three-pointer to give River Valley the lead for the first time, it seemed all their work might actually pay off. But in the time it took to look at the scoreboard and confirm it all, Chesapeake had an swered ·yet again with a di sheartening 3-pointer of their ow n, fo llowed by anot her crushing three on the next pos· session. Clutch free throw shooting fro m Tyler Shoef!l aker would keep the Raiders down the rest of the way. River Valley made 26 fi eld goa ls, II of whi ch came from beyond the arc, and fini shed with four pl ayers in double figures. Frazier had a team-hi gh 20 points, going four-for-four from the foul line. Eggleton finished with 17. Tying with 13 point s api ece were McAvena and seni or Ian Lewis, who was five-of-seven from the lihe. Al so contributing were seniors Ry an Henry with seven points and Devin Gibbs with four. Rounding out the scoring was junior Jordan Deel with three. Che sapeake 's Shoemaker scored a game-high 31 points , making seven of · eight free throws . Kyle Rase al so had 19 for the Panthers. In earlier act ion, the junior varsity was defeated by Chesapeake, 49-38.
