Each time the Cavaliers who led 84-76 with 6:36 left' appeared on the brink of putting the game away, the Wizards fought back, usin,ga 10-2 run to tie on two free throws by Antonio Daniels. Jatnes then hit a 3-pointer, and this time Arenas, ·who matched his close friend basket for basket in the playoffs, made his only 3 to even it at 89-all. Jamison's basket gave the Wizards their first lead of the second half bpt Hughes soared down the lane for a dunk to tie it. James scored on a scoop to put the Cavaliers ahead by two before Jamison split a pair of free throws. Anderson Cievelimd's Varejao went to the line with a chance to put Cleveland up by three but made only one of two.

The Meigs County Board of Elections has predicted · a 50-percent turnout this year, but Director Rita Smith said the number should be seen as a conservative estimate. She said the board predict· ed that 7,850 of 15,960 registered voters · are expected to particiate in the election. Meigs County has tradi· tiohall y exceeded the state for voter prediction turnout. In the last governor's election, just over 49 percent of Meigs County voters cast ballots. Turnout statewide for the general election in 2002 was 48 percent, turnout in 1998 was . .50 percent, and in 1994 was 57 percent. Polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

PoMEROY - With the color now fading from the hillsides we are all reminded of poet Robert Frost who once wrote, "Nothing Gold Can Stay" but it seemed the' "gold" we saw this year wasn't as brilliant, though science offers an explanation. Casey Munchel, a service forester with the Ohio Division of Forestry said this year 's fall color wasn't as diverse thanks to ¥1oomy days and a lack of sunhgh1 in Southeast Ohio. "You get the best color with bright, sunny days and cool but not freezing nights," Munchel said. Sugars present in leaves and their love of sunshine is also a key ingredient to a ·brilliant autumn. Hal Kneen. Meigs County Agricultural Natural Resources Educator with Ohio State University Extension. had previously delved into this biochem- istry in his weekly column for The Daily Sentinel. Kneon wrote chlorophy II present in the leaves (the green coloring) is constantly being produced and broken down but in fall more chlorophyll is broken down than pro'duced. This process gives ways to the yellows, oranges and reds but these colors are enhanced by warm, bright, sunny days followed by cool nights below 45 degrees Fahrenheir and adequate soi l moisture . These optimum conditions weren't present this fall. producing colors more lackluster than normal. Randy Wachter of Burr Oak and Forked Run State Park said like most places the two parks have ··peaked" in color. "We've peaked out," Wachter joked, adding that he felt this year's season of changing colors seemed to be sudden and shorter than normal. Then again. the color;. never seem to last as Frost wrote.

Beth Sercentf pltato �' . • PageA2 FAITH • VALUES Victorious faith: - - -A Hunger For More_- - Why we need it :The Daily Sentinel "And this is the victory that has oyercome the world our faith." (I John 5.4, ESV) It is not some "blind leap" of faith that overcomes the world. It . is victorious faith grounded in the q:rtainty of our reSurrected Lord Jesus Christ, an assurance further buttressed by the revelation of God in Holy Scripture a~ well as the witness of His very own Spirit in the fife of every believer. This is saving faith, persevering and prevailing faith, an etemaj faith. One should not have to add that it is also necessary faith but many Christians. while obviously believing something to at least some extent, are actually great doubters. They approach nearly every situation in life, crisis or not, with an ominous kind of negative attitude, naturally expecting problems all along the way with very little good results, very little success. Victorious faith, however. is obviously optimistic. This kind of faith looks for good · and · expects the ·best with the biblical assurance .that ·~all things work together for :good to those who love God." (See Romans 8.28) This sort of victorious faith not only disbands doubt in the life of the believer; it also fortifies against fear. In the world today, perhaps especially in our country, many . peop)e live in dark dread, fearing terrorism or some fatal illness. financial loss or crime, personal failure or. whatnot. The list is endless, and faith does not remove any of . these possibilities as Vel}' real possibilities .. . 'but 11 does dispel the fear of them. Victorious faith hears the voice of the Lord Sll)'inll, "Do not fear, only believe!• (Mark 5.36, ESV) . ~~F~~tm~.r~~~·~~~m~bw~3~.~~~--------------~----------~w~·~w~w.~m~ygde~lblv~H!n~tl~ne~l£.c~omm______________________JU.btQDa~lblv~~~trulnt~I~·P~!ftmtAA3l Friday, Novembel' s, aoo6 Rev: Jonathan Noble PASTOR. TRIN ITY CHURCH Ultimately. of course, victorious faith is victorious precisely because "all things are possible to him' who believes." (Mark 9.23, NKJV) Many Christians simply give up too easily, lacking the faith to hold on when answers to prayer are delayed and results seem oh-so-slow in coming. In the face of obstacles and seemingly insurmountable odds this faith "will hope continually" and praise the Lord "yet more and more." (See Psalm 71.14. This is the sort of faith that stares even death in the face and asks defiantly, "0 death, where is thy S\ing? 0 grave, where is thy victory?" Q Corinthians 15-55, NAV) It is the kind of bold, authentic faith that, if exercised but by a handful of believers throughout our community, would rurn this entire area upside down and inside out for the glory of God and great benefit of all residents. Do you doubt and constantly question? Are you afraid, living underneath clouds of dark dread? Are you set on a course of defeat and disappointment? Have you simply assumed rou really can make no lastmg. beneficial difference in your own life or the lives of others? All of these queries ar:e answered by faith ... victorious faith that overcomes the world. Involvement in the political process often leaves us with a somewhat sour taste in our mouths, yet it is, as we often say, a necessary evil. Sifting through campaign promises is unavoidably wearisome and sorting through .the entanglements of corruption and scandal can leave us disheartened and disillusioned. But if we who are being given the mind of Christ withhold His influence through us from the social processes into which God's hand has place us, shouldn't we expect symptoms of spiritual deterioration to increase? Would we dare assume that if, as vessels of honor into which the Holy Spirit of God pours Hi.s godliness, were to hoard His bounty of grace, that the end result can ~ anything but ungodli~ess? "Let this mind be in you, which . was also in Christ Jesus ... " (Philippians 2:5 KJV). "For God, Who said, 'Light shall shine out of darkness,' is the One Who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpas,sing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves" (2 Corinthians 4:6-7 NAS). No .. . if we are to be "salt" and "light" in a world gone mad, then we must lay hold of the mechanisms for impact that have been entrusted to us. The found;!tions for these are prayer, as we avail . ourselves of the personhood and power of God Himself, and the reading of His Word as we seek to know Him intimately. The practical application then <of His life in us is godly character revealed in how we live Pastor T'hom Mollohan and even in how we vote. Although democracy as a governing system in the world of the early Church was nearly unheard of, one thing we can definitely say about living in one today is that. we may wield our God-given · influence through the exercising of our voting ~wers · as we reach for poltcies which are right, just, and holy· (in every social situation that we can think of, from the lives of unborn children, to God-ordained parameters on family relationships, to gambling, to matters of war and peace). Jesus said. "You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt -loses its saltiness, how can it be · made salty again? It is no l9nger good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they pul it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven" (Matthew 5:13-16 NIV). So let us not lose our opportunities to make a difference through neglect and let us not ·squander them by . giving in to selfishness, pride, and/or hate. A vote cast .from my hand may by itself seem to make little difference m the. landscape of the political world and perhaps there won't be any visible impact · of my ever having voted at all, but I nonetheless seek the approval of my Lord Himself Who sees everything and knows every heart. He knows whether or not I've buried my opportunities in the sand or u·sed them to the best of my ability to please Him and do His will here on eanh (see Matthew 25:21 & 23). If we as God's people together can stand and use our votes in unison, joined with one heart and mind in the pursuit of the Kingdom of God being realized on earth, then good can indeed overcome evil in this temporal sphere. But before God can get a hold of our electoral process, He must first get a hold of us. This is where "revival" has one of its most visible impacts. When there is "revival," the return of God to the place of first love of our lives, suddenly our little choices begin to . collectively make big differences. They begin to produce the evidence of Christmindedness on a · large ·scale, shaping (dare I say it?) our values, public policies, ·political processes, and cultural trends. "If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles 7:14 NIV). A godly people will have a godly government. Please note that I did not say · "a perfect ·government," nor do I imply that fallen human nature doesn't manifest itself on occasion: where human hearts are gathered, human hurts and human hates will at times rise up against God's grace. Nevertheless, when the love of God's people is .fanned to a genuine passion, the pursuit of His perfect will crowds out our tendency towards pretension and self-will. But again, what happens in our election depends on our attitude towards God's lordship in our lives. lf we give Him room to work in our hearts, and to shape our choices as we cast our ballots, we will see our society gravitate towards justice, compassion, reconciliation and hope. But if we use our ballots in ignorance or in selfish·ness, we drift towards destruction in our courts, our workplaces, · our schools, our centers of worship, and our hotnes. Yes, your vote is yOUrs to cast. It reflects your val· ues, your priorities, and the things you treasure most. It is a tool to indicate what you choo.se for not only yourself but for those dearest to you as well as generations to come. Into your hand has been delivered the means ·to shape the future - so choose well. · "If serving the .LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve ... But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD" (Joshua 24:15 NIV). (Thom Mollolum 11Nl #tis family htlve ministered· in southern Ohio the ptiSt 11 · years.

Somalia has not had an effective national government since 1991, when warlords overthrew dictator Mohamed Siad Barre ' and then turned pn one another, throwing the country into anarchy. DALLAS (AP) .- The Cathedral of Hope, a 4,300rnember megachurch which works for full inclusion of gays in the Christian community, has been admitted to the United Church of Christ. The UCC North Texas Association voted Oct. 28 to admit the church. which will become the fourthlargest congregation in the mainline denomination. The Cathedral of Hope was founded in the late 1980s primarily to welcome gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people. Last year, the 1.3 millionmember United Church of Christ endorsed same-sex marriage, making it the largest Christian denomination to do so. In the early 19705, the UCC became the first major Christian church to ordain an openly gay minister. The church declared itself to be "open and affirming" of gays and lesbians 20 years ago.

Thought for Today: ''Among these things but one thing seems certain - that nothing certain exists, and that nothing is more pitiable or more presumptuous than man." Pliny the Elder, Roman scholar (A.D. 23-A.D. 79). Kim Paffenroth was 13 years old when filmmaker George A. Romero released "Dawn of the Dead." so he knew he would need parental guidance to see the gory classic about flesh-eating. undead zombies and the shopping mall from heH. "I wasn't really a horror-· movie fan," he said, flashing back to 1979. "But for some reason I bugged my dad until he bought two tickets . He said, 'OK, but I'm ilot sitting through that thing. Meet me outside when it's over."' The movie was sickening, disturbing, funny and haunting - all at the same time. Paffenroth was hooked; especially by Romero's bleak, biting view of · humanity's future. This wasn't just another commercial horror movie, the kind that cable-TV channels · play around the clock at Halloween. Then a strange thing happened in college, when Paffenroth 's work in .the· classics led him to St. Augustine, . St. . Thomas Aquinas and, especially, the medieval poet . Dante Alighieri. To his shock, he found that his doctoral work at Notre Dame University was starting to overlap with his fascjnation with zombie movies. Suddenly, the word "inferno" ·had new meanirtg. He decided that Romero's zombies - the living dead who had lost all self-control · Terry Mattingly and reason - were a modernized, bumbling, cannibalistic vision of what Dante called the "suffering race of souls who lost the good of intellect." It was also clear that, as in Dante, the re were higher and lower levels in this hell. "The zombies live in .the fir>t five circles ofhell, and they stand for gluttony, rage, .Jaziness and the most basic, crude sins," said Paffenroih, a religious studies professor at Iona College in New Rochelle, N.Y. "A zombie is a human being who cannot control his appetites, who simply cannot stop eating, and it really doesn't matter what kind of eating or consuming we're talking about." But what makes Romero's movies truly disiurbing - at least for viewers willing to do more 'than revel in gory special effects - is that the zombies are not the worst sinners on the screen. While the ~.undead cannot control · their passions, it is the ·Jiving who sink to the lower circles of damnation, choosing to wallow in hate, pride, deceit, vtctousness, greed, cruelty and other complex, twisted forms of sin. In these bloody morality tales, it is the living who perven reason to attack others, argues Paffenroth. in his book, "Gospel of the Living Dead." This may be a painful message for modem Americans to hear, including those who sit in cliurch 'sanctuaries more often than movie theaters. "Anyone who says that racism, sexism, materialism , consumerism· and a misguided kind of individualism do not afflict our current American society to a large extent is not being totally honest and accurate," writes Paffenroth. Moreover, Romero's movies offer a "critique that could be characterized as broadly . Christian, but which many modern American . Christians may now find uncomfortable or unfamiliar." Romero was raised Roman Catholic, but his scandalous movies never move past their images of damnation to provide a real sense of hope and salvation. Still, Paffenroth finds it significant that his films attack secular institutions as much, or even more, than they attack religious institutions. It's obvious, for example, that scientists and politicians have done a poor job creating an earthly paradise. Also, the fact that · zombies are human beings .. ,. ~ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Evening clinic . POMER<?Y - ~.eigs County Health .Department will off~r evenmg chntc hours · until 6 p.m. on Nov. 7.

If Strickland wins the governor's race he would be the first Democrat to face GOP control of both legislative chambers since John Gilligan in 1971. . If the Democrats win even one more House seat they could block any attempt to override a Strickland veto because Republicans no · longer would hold a three-fifths majority. Democrats are looking to unseat ~uburban Cleveland Republican Tom Patton, who is seeking a third term, with John Celebrezze, a retired school administrator with a magical name in Cleveland politics. An uncle was once. the city's mayor and served. in President John F. Kennedy's cabinet. They also are taking a look at two Columbus-area seats. Democrat Dean Hernandez is running for an open seat currently in GOP hands against Republican Kevin Bacon. Democrat Ted Celeste. brother of former Gov. Richard Celeste, is trying to deny Republican Rep. Geoff Smith a fourth term. Another high-profile race pits Democrat Dale Henry · sprmg · fileld agamst Republican Rep.

Au.thorities did not immediately disclose a motive and would not say what led them to Oyler. Oyler will also face two so-called special circumstances, one alleging murders committed during arson and another alleging multiple murders. . · The charges are punishable by life in prison without parole or the death penalty. Prosecutors will decide in the next 60 days which sentence to seek. "The feelings of the surviving family members of the victims will be consulted and be given great weight by our office in what is always a difficult decision," Pacheco said. A woman who answered the phone at the home of Oyler's mother said she had no comment. _The fire was stoked by Santa Ana winds as it swept southwest through the San Jacinto Mountains about 90 miles east of Los Angeles. The flames overran the fire crew, destroyed 34 homes and charred more than 60 square miles before being contained Monday. Three frrefighters died at the scene, and a folJrth died soon after at a hospital. A fifth w~ taken off life support and died this week. Investigators interviewed Oyler on Oct. 27, served a search warrant on his residence Monday, then arrested him Tuesday. "This arrest really does help with some of the closure, the healing that we in · the Forest Service community, and in the fa!Tlilies, need," said Jeanne Waqe Evans, the Sa!l Bernardino National Forest supervisor. California court records show Oyler was convicted in September 200 I of possession of a controlled substance and pleaded guilty to taking a vehicle without the owner's consent in 1995. In Joplin, Mo., police and court records ·show Oyler had mostly minor run-ins with the law from 1997 through 1999.

Eighteen horses have drowned and the rest have spent two nights huddled together in knee-deep water. Rescuers planned to bring in horses that are strong swimmers to show the panicky animals, including several foals, how to get to dry land. Dutch television and newspapers carried drama!ic photographs and footage of the horses crowded together, their backs to the wind, on a small patch of ground. They were surrounded by brackish-colored sea water, pushed by the storm surge into a wilderness area outside the dikes of Marrum, 90 miles northeast of Amsterdam. Marrum's fire department used small boats to ferry about 20 horses, including the smallest foals, to safety on Wednesday. The Dutch army .trie~t. to rescue the rest of the herd, but called off the operation when water levels receded to less than three feet in some places, grounding pontoon boats. Mayor Wil van der Berg said he considered using helicopters to transport the animals, but decided the noise and lights might panic the horses and cause · more to drown. . Although horses can swim and the closest dry land was only several hundred yards away, there were concerns the animals could become ensnared in submerged barbed wire fences · or that they might tire if they headed toward land farther away. Water levels continued to fall Thursday, and the sur· viving animals were brought feed and blankets by boat Veterinarians examined them, the Netherlands' state broadcaster NOS reported.

On Wednesday, Winslow . hyped his matchup with Gates as "a heavyweight inatch. It's me versus Gates. I want to be the best tight ~nd ~ut there." . Wmslow, whOse 40 catches lead all tight ends, mentioned that Kansas City's Tony Gonzalez is behind him on the receptions list, followed by Gates. "So I've got to stay on top," said Winslow, whose Hall of Fame father of the same name played for the Chargers from 1979-87. Winslow was asked to clarify. Did he mean keep his lead in receptions? "The best overall. I'm trying to be the best. I said I was the best. I am the best, ' and I'm ~oing to prove it on Sunday,' Winslow said. Gates, who started in the last two Pro Bowls, wasn't amused. "I just have a problem with a guy who disrespects guys who've done it over a decade like a Tony Gonzalez and those guys," Gates said after practice Thursday. "To put yourself in a situation where you feel like you're better than a guy who has basically been doing it since you were in high school, I just have a problem with him not embracing the game enough ~nd respecting the guys who've proven themselves in the league." Winslow is in his first full season. He broke his right leg in the second game of his rookie season of 2004, then missed all of last season after tearing up a knee in a motorcycle accident. "For you to play in seven straight games and decide you're the best tight end in the league, I don't think that's appropriate to say,'' said Gines, a former basketball star at Kent State who joined the Charge~s as an undrafted rookie in 2003. . "There are certain things that I will never Jet get to me. Obviously he' s not a person I would be worried about. He hasn't played long enough ." Winslow has 40 receptions for 393 yards and three touchdowns . Gonzalez has 33 catches for 44 I yards and a score, while Gates has 32 receptions, 384 yards and four touchdowns.

BEREA - Sean Jones ne\er doubted his playing ability. Seems like everyone else did. Jones came to Ckveland's training camp this summer hoping to win a starting job. Not only did the former second-round pick ll)ove to the · top of the Browns' depth chart. he· s tied for the league lead with four interceptions. A special teams player last ~eason, nQw ~·s just special. "That's the bonom line," said teammate ,Brian Russell, who plays alongside Jones and is one of his biggest fans. "As a defensive . back, you get X nwnber of opportunities to get your hands on the ball and he's made the most of every opportunity. When he has the opportunity to make a play, he's all over it. That's really helping us as a defense." Jones helped the Browns out a bunch last Sunday, making two interceptions and deflecting a pass late in the fourth quarter in Cleveland's 20-13 win over the New York Jc:ts. That performance earned him AFC player of the week honors. "It means a lot," Jones said. "Working hard these past two years I · really haven't been getting the credit because . I really haven't played. It feels good that the hard work that I've done behind closed doors is starting to pay off for me." A defensive star at Georgia, . Jones was picked by the Browns with 59th overall pick in the 2004 NFL draft. He was expected to have an immediate impact, ·but his rookie season ended before it began. · During the club's offseason conditioning camp, Jones landed awkwardly on his left knee during practice in the indoor field house and tore his anterior cruciate ligament, a · season-ending injury that could have threatened his career. . He returned last season and played in all 16 games on special teams, leading the Browns with 20 tackles. Th.e 24-year-old got some limited playing time at . strong safety, but only because of injury. · In · Cleveland's season finale against Baltimore, Jones replaced Chris Crocker and recorded three tackles. Those are · hardly eye-catching stats, but Jones now looks at that game as a turning point in his career. It renewed his confidence, and ultimately, it helped him win over the Browns' trust that he COilld have an impact in their 3-4 defense. ."It was tou~h not playing," Jones satd. "I knew I had the talent but.everything hadn't come together yet. This year it has come full circle and I feel good being a starter and trying to contribute." When Crocker was traded in March to · Atlanta for a fourth-round draft rick, it opened a window o opportunity for Jones. He jumped through feet first. In July, he carne to camp as a Iongshot to beat out Brodney Pool at strong safety. Pool figured to have the advantage after playing in the c.Jub 's nickel and dime packages last season and because he was drafted by general manager Phil Savage. Jones was· selected by former coach/GM Butch Davis. However, Crennel told · Jones he wouldn't play any favoritism an.d promised the best man would win the job. "Usually coaches just say that but Romeo kept to his word," he ·said. Jones prevailed, and in his first career start he recorded six tackles, picked off a pass and recovered a fumble in Cleveland's season-opening loss to New Orleans. In Week 2, he led the Browns with 13 tackles and has had a nose for the ball ever since. "The thing he has done is AP tile/photo grasped the schemes," Crennel said.

The Raiders won 20-1:3. PITTSBURGH - Ben :Roethlisberger looks at what has occurred in his life since winning the AFC championship game in Denver and almost can't believe it's been less than 10 months. Becoming the youngest quarterback to win the Super Bowl. The motorcycle accident that left him with a surgically repaired face. The two concussions. The emergency ap~ndectomy that · kept him out of the Pittsburgh Steelers' opener. His five losses in six starts this season - or one more -loss than in his . first two NFL seasons combined. "It's tough because you set the bar so high the first two years that you'll forget ·you won the Super Bowl last season," Rocthlisberger said as he looked to in Sunday's . rematch Pittsburgh with the Broncos. " But, hey, that's the way it goes. You've got to start playing better. I've got to start playing better." He also needs to stay healthy, and he knows it. Maybe that's why he disclosed Wednesday for the first time that he's not riding a motorcycle any required seven hours of surgery and other more minor injuries. He returned for training camp, but his season has been disrupted by the appen- · dicitis attack and a second concussion; this one on the field, Oct. 22 in Atlanta. Asked if he wishes he hadn't gotten on a motorcycle, especially without a helmet, . the 24-year-old said, "Not at all. I'm not going to sit there and regret things that I've done. That v:as a decision I made· and I m not gom* to look back and regret 11. Rocthlisberger was cleared to play last weekend in Oakland, but responded by throwing four interceptions - two for touchdowns - in a 2013 loss to a team widely considered the AFC's worst. It also was the worst game of his three-season career, and coach BillCowher said Tuesday that three interceptions were preventable. Rocthlisberger agreed he "Teams are kind of gunning for you a little harder because you are the champs." Roethlisberger said. "And so we are definitely getting· everybody's best shot, and I think that we definitely need to step up and start playing better football." Following his eventful offseason, Roethlisberger looked rusty in losing his first three starts. But he was 32-of-41 for 476 . yards, f1ve touchdow~s and no mtercepll.ons tn se':en quarters agamst th_e Chtefs and Falcons unlll rece1vmg h1s latest concusswn.

"I've tal~ed to so many · great qu,arterbacks the last couple of weeks, and they say you're going to have these stretches - and it isn't goi ng to be the last time you havl" ·a stretch like this." Brooks making most of chance for now BY JOE KAY AP SPORTS WRI'TtR CINCINN AT! The Bengals· most recent gamble on a troubled draft pick is paying off for now. The Bcngals took middle linebacker Ahmad Brooks in the suppleinental draft last July because they knew Odell Thurman was going to be suspended by the NFL for violating its substance abuse policy. Thu rma n is out -for the season and most likely will never play again for coach Marvin Lewis, Who · has taken away his lodcer and told him to stay away from the team . Bro.oks has taken ovet h1s. spot. Brooks started the last three games at middle lineba~kcr and racked ·up 14, 8 and 9 tackle,, along with one >ack. He g01 the chance to play when Bnan S1mmons was "dell ned by a <;Ore neck . "Ah!nad works very.. har_d at 11. Lew~> sa1d. He s very con<,cientiou' .. We >e been very plea<,ed w1th how he·, embraced it, coming in and >tudying extra film all the time. a'kmg very good questions and taking great notes." Brooks was a. star at Virginia for three seasons, but was kicked off the team . by coach AI Groh _before spring practice this · year.

"A win before the end of the season isn't out of the question," said Labonte. "We have the capabilities and are confident in our abilities." Under normal circumstances, Labonte's 12th.pJace finish at Atlanta Motor Speedway would have been satisfying. But Labonte; the 2000 Winston Cup champion, is at his best at the 1.54-mile track. Six times he has won at the track: in 1996, '97, '98, '99, 2001 and '03. It's the scene of nearly 30 percent of his 21 career victories. The fastest race ever at Atlanta was Labonte's victory on Nov. 16, 1997, at an average speed oflS9.904. He's also started on the pole three times. _ Labonte, whose older brother Terry was himself a two-time champion, had finished in the top 10 in four of the previous five races. The breakthrough didn't occur at Atlanta, but Labonte thinks it's still just a matter of time. "It's easier to sleep at night when you finish in the top 10 rather than in the back," said Labonte. "I've been sleeping pretty well the last few weeks. I have a lot of confidence in the guys right now.
