Earlier this week, the NWS predicted the Ohio River would crest late Friday into Saturday morning at Racine and Pomeroy though on Thursday afternoon this prediction changed with the NWS now predicting Racine, Pomeroy and Point Pleasant should all see a crest some time on Sunday. Beginning with Racine, the NWS predicts a “worst case scenario” crest of 47.6 feet on Sunday. Flood stage in Racine is 41 feet with 48 feet considered major flood stage — at 48 feet the town of Racine begins to flood. At 46 feet, many areas near Racine along Ohio 124 are flooded from Minersville to Antiquity. Racine had a similar flood crest at 47.7 on Jan. 22, 1996. In Pomeroy, the NWS predicts a “worst case scenario” crest of 49.2 feet on Sunday. However, as a general, “local” rule of thumb, the water rests Thursday afternoon the Ohio River measured 43 feet in Pomeroy, three feet shy of flood stage. The river is expected to crest at around 50.5 feet on Sunday at Pomeroy and 47.6 feet on Sunday at Racine. Beth Sergent/photo See Flood, A2 Moving out: Businesses prepare to take on water BY BRIAN J. REED Beth Sergent/photo Workers at The Fabric Shop in Pomeroy (pictured) had practically everything moved from the storeʼs wooden floor in two hours to beat the flood waters. When the Ohio River reaches 48.7 feet, water is on the floor of The Fabric Shop. BY BETH SERGENT BSERGENT@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — Businesses up and down Main Street in Pomeroy were going through a familiar dance Thursday afternoon involving boxes, manpower and moving out before the water moves in. Most established businesses have this dance down to an art form. At The Fabric Shop on West Main Street, seven people had merchandise removed from the first floor in two hours — the endless bolts of fabric on the walls will be moved to higher ground Friday. Becky Anderson, owner of The Fabric Shop, said at 48.7 feet, the Ohio River is on the floor of the store — the latest flood crest predictions for Pomeroy were at 50.5 feet on Sunday. Anderson said at 50.5 feet, this means around 21.5 inches of water is in her building. Further up on East Main Street, flood veterans at Brogan-Warner Insurance had the front Beth Sergent/photo Bill Wamsley points to where the water is expected to rest in his sonʼs business, River Front Meat Market & Deli on East Main Street.

Employees at River Front Meat Market & Deli at 210 East Main Street were experiencing their first flood — the business moved in last summer. By early afternoon, most of the store had been emptied with only the freezers of meat left to transport. Standing outside his shop, owner Bill Wamsley and his father were pointing out a high water mark on the front of the store denoting 52.2 feet on Sept. 9, 2004. Pomeroy Parking Meter Officer Sandra Thorla spent most of her day in the rain removing the guts of digital parking meters to avoid damage to the equipment. Thorla stopped at Court Street where if the water reaches around 49 feet, it typically won’t take down a parking meter but will get in the basements of businesses on Court. Personality profiling: DJFS, Wing Haven to offer free workshop BY AMBER GILLENWATER GALLIPOLIS — The Gallia County Department of Job and Family Services (DJFS), in partnership with Wing Haven, will soon be offering a free workshop that will help individuals understand their personality, its affect on their lives and how to find the best career for them. “It’s really coming in at a perfect time,” DJFS Director Dana Glassburn commented about the program. Glassburn explained that DJFS is currently assigning individuals to work off hours at various local businesses and entities based upon the cash assistance they receive through DJFS. The ultimate goal of assigning individuals receiving assistance is to help those individuals find permanent jobs and Glassburn is hopeful that this workshop will help those individuals find a job that is right for them. “To broaden everybody’s concept of what they can do, this will teach them based on their per- sonality, what kind of jobs would best fit their type of personality. ... It also opens it up so where they may find a job that they actually enjoy which means they will stay longer employed and be a better worker,” Glassburn said. Even though Glassburn is encouraging those individuals who are completing work through DJFS based upon their cash assitance to attend the program, as well as young adults seeking information about careers, everyone in the community is invited to attend. The workshop will be held at 6:30 p.m., March 17, at Grace Methodist Chruch, 600 Second Ave., Gallipolis, and is offered at no cost to attendees. Those who attend will discover their personality type, the significance it has in relationships with other people and the careers that are best for differenct personality types. Templates for the creation of resumes will also be provided.

POMEROY — A Syracuse couple was arrested Tuesday and charged with grand theft. They allegedly intimidated a local man and stole thousands of dollars from him. A Shade woman is charged with stealing a credit card from a Bedford Township resident. John B. Myers, 31, and Jessica Anderson, 25, were arrested, according to Sheriff Robert Beegle, on charges of grand theft. He said they were to appear in Meigs County Court on the charges. Beegle did not indicate just how much money Myers and Anderson are accused of stealing, but said it was thousands of dollars. The victim is a Sutton Township man. Beegle said Myers has also been charged with theft for allegedly stealing John Deere tractor rims, wheel weights, front weights, a plow and home generator from a Rose Valley residence. Those items were reported stolen last August. Myers and Anderson were released on bond pending further court See Arrests, A2 Bids opened on Racine ballfield project BY BRIAN J.

York is charged with stealing a Park Road resident’s credit card and taking over $1,000 from the man’s local bank account. York was also released on bond. Beegle said a Portland resident reported the most recent financial scam — one involving an offer for “financial aid.” According to Beegle, the Portland man brought a check he had received into the sheriff’s department. The check, for $915, from Key Services Corp., New York, N.Y., was accompanied by a letter advising him another check representing the balance of $10,000 would be forthcoming, if he sent $403 to the company using a Greendot money pack. Beegle said it is another example of something being too good to be true, but advised residents to be on the lookout for letters from the company or companies making similar offers.

February federal budget deficit sets record WASHINGTON (AP) — The government ran the largest-ever budget deficit for a single month in February. The shortfall kept this year’s annual deficit on pace to end as the biggest in U.S. history. The widening deficit reflects the impact of the tax-cut package President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans brokered in December. As a result, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office in January raised its estimate for the annual deficit from $1.1 trillion to $1.5 trillion. It said the tax cuts would add $400 billion to this year’s gap. The budget year ends Sept. 30. The tax-cut package extended income tax cuts, reduced workers’ Social Security taxes, extended unemployment benefits and accelerated business tax writeoffs, among other steps. February’s deficit of $222.5 billion eclipsed last February’s record by nearly $2 billion. The full-year deficit would exceed 2009’s record deficit of $1.41 trillion. And it would mark the third straight year of $1 trillion-plus deficits. It’s unusual for an economy to be running record-high deficits this far into a recovery. The recession that began in December 2007 ended in June 2009. The problem is that the financial crisis and the recession that followed fueled explosive deficit growth. The government collected less tax revenue after millions of people lost their jobs. And it spent more than $1 trillion to bail out the financial system and stimulate the economy. Republicans are pushing for more than $60 billion in spending cuts this year to help shrink the deficit. Obama and congressional Democrats support some cuts. But they object to the scope of the Republican cuts. They argue that the GOP cuts would unfairly hurt education, college aid and support for low-income groups. Even if Republicans achieved their target for spending cuts this year, the 2011 deficit would still be on track to hit a record. Through the first five months of this budget year, government revenue totaled $869 billion. That was up 8.6 percent from the same period a year ago. Government spending totaled $1.51 trillion, a 4 percent increase. One of the sharpest increases in government spending has been interest payments on the debt: $94.5 billion so far this budget year. That’s up 9.3 percent from the same period a year ago. It reflects the growing size of the national debt from the annual deficits.

Member SIPC. Protesters removed from Wisconsin Capitol before vote MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Police carried dozens of protesters from a hallway leading to the Wisconsin Assembly on Thursday morning as Democratic representatives pounded on the locked door of the chamber, demanding to be let in before a historic vote on an explosive bill taking away public workers’ collective bargaining rights. The chamber was locked while police did a security review in the crowded Capitol. Later Thursday, protesters who remained outside the chamber thanked the Democratic representatives who voted against the bill. As the lawmakers left the Assembly, the protesters exchanged high-fives with the Democrats and chanted “thank you” as they wound through the crowd. The Republicans left the Assembly under heavy guard as protesters shouted “Shame!” Dozens of state troopers, state special agents and local police had formed multiple lines to block the protesters if they tried to rush the chamber, but no one made a move toward the officers, and all the lawmakers left safely. Rallies against the bill have attracted thousands of protesters to the Capitol over the past several weeks. A vote on it had been held up after 14 Democratic senators fled to Illinois three weeks ago, leaving that chamber one short of the 20 members needed to take up any measures that spend money. Republicans got around that Wednesday by using an unexpected but simple procedural move to remove all spending measures from Gov. Scott Walker’s collective bargaining legislation and voting to approve it without Democrats present. About 200 people spent the night in the Capitol in protest over the Senate’s swift and unexpected passage of the bill. 60168444 Arnold Stump, 86, Bidwell, passed away on March 9, 2011, at Grant Medical Center in Columbus after a brief illness.

Flood stage in Pomeroy is 46 feet with 50 feet considered major flood stage — at 46 feet the Pomeroy parking lots and amphitheatre flood, Main Street begins to take on water and secondary roads are flooded due to backwater. At 48 feet businesses along Main Street begin to flood, homes near the Bridge of Honor on the West Virginia side start to flood. At 50 feet even more Pomeroy businesses begin to flood and the park and boat ramp across the river at Mason, W.Va., is flooded. Pomeroy had a similar flood crest at 50.6 feet on Jan. 9, 2005. At Point Pleasant, which has already been dipping in and out of flood stage for several days, the NWS is predicting a crest of 46.7 feet on Sunday. Flood stage in Point Pleasant is 40 feet with 48 feet considered major flood stage. At 46 feet US 35, 10 miles east of Point Pleasant floods as does Locust Road in Henderson, W.Va.; at 47 feet most sections of Henderson start to flood and at 47.7 feet. When the water reaches 48 feet, typically the US 35 facing gate at the Point Pleasant flood wall is closed and railroad tracks eight miles east of Point Pleasant are inundated.

ATTEND CHURCH �The Daily Sentinel FAITH • VALUES A Hunger for More Anyone who is genuinely committed to knowing God, experiencing His power at work in practical ways, and being fruitful for His pleasure and glory must ultimately consider what he or she will do in the area of reading His Word, the Bible. Reading God’s Word allows us, of course, a chance to learn a great deal ABOUT things like the history of Creation (especially Abraham’s descendents), the earliest days of the Church, heroes of the faith, and even future events through its prophetic view forward. But you cannot find fulfillment or fruitfulness merely in knowing ABOUT these things. The Bible has been disclosed to us to do far more than tell us ABOUT God. It is a divinely inspired and divinely compiled love letter from the heart of God to you and me to catalyze our relationship with Himself. This love letter from God is signed with His Son’s blood on a cold, hard cross. This love letter from our Father in heaven is sealed with the coming of the Holy Spirit into our hearts so that we may be pulled out of the drudgery of what constitutes only a physical and temporary existence and instead spurs us onwards to a “happily ever after” with Him. This love letter opens our minds and our hearts to the fact that the one and only God of Creation works still today in the real world around us in the lives of ordinary people. “My soul faints with longing for Your salvation, but I have put my hope in Your Word…. Your Word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Thom Mollohan Your faithfulness continues through all generations; You established the earth, and it endures…. You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in Your Word” (Psalm 119: 81, 89-90, 114 NIV). If you really want to know God, then commit yourself to the daily reading of His Word. More than that, drink it in by pondering it, considering it, and discussing it. Inasmuch as you make it a part of your daily “diet”, and do so with an openness in your heart to the working of the Holy Spirit, you will find yourself increasingly enamored with its divine Author. “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates” (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 NIV). Who is this God Who set into motion all of Creation and placed within its bounds humanity as its master (see Genesis 1:27-30)? Who is this Holy One Who gives His Law to mortal men and beckons them to step out of the ordinary into the infinite expanse of the eternal (see Exodus 20:1-20)? Who is this Savior Who forgives sin and binds up the broken hearted, giving them hope and a faithful promise of a perfect tomorrow beyond the grim grip of the grave (see Luke 4:17-19)? If you really want to know God … then you really must seek Him through this amazing revelation of Himself. If you really want to begin to live in freedom, then you really must learn the thoughts of God and tap into a perspective that transcends the limits of human eyesight and even human imagination. If you really want to live a meaningful life that will count for more than a few dozen years of vainly trying to find fulfillment in temporal things, then you really need to come face to face with God through His Word and see what He has to say about you, your life, and your destiny in Christ Jesus. And as He feeds you spiritual manna from His Scriptures, share this “bread” with others in your church and small groups. Find other believers in Jesus who are also committed to growth and service in God’s kingdom and then let what the Lord is giving you challenge and transform them as He, in turn, reaches out to you through them. It is an amazing fact for God’s people that when God’s Word is being shared generous- ATTEND THE CHURCH ly in their midst, it can build movements that radically transform cultures and societies. For one to keep a pearl from God’s promises for himself, he’ll have only one pearl. But if he shares it with others and they share what they are seeing in God’s Word with him, he’s not only lost nothing, but has also gained an incalculable treasure that nourishes his spirit, feeds his soul, challenges his mind, and spills over into his work, play, and family life with a wealth of joy, peace, hope, confidence, and thanksgiving that will point others to the only real source of hope the world has: Jesus Christ. Seek then to meet the Lord in the Bible. Look for Him to speak in a “still, small voice” to your hungry spirit and know that you are precious in His sight (see 1 Kings 19:11-12 & Isaiah 30:20-21). As such, trust Him to show you Himself in His holy Word and let His holy Word show His love through you. “Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15 NIV).

Page A4 Friday, March 11, 2011 Perspective & Perception BY CARRIE WOLFE BEACON MINISTRIES Someone once told me that in general, perception equals truth. What people see, is what they perceive to be true about a person. We may not like it, but it’s true. Consider a building. If the roof is bowed in, the windows are broken, the grounds unkempt, the perception is the inside will match the outside. The inside may be well kept and beautifully decorated, but that really doesn’t matter unless someone takes the time to go inside. Perspective falls in with perception. Another word for perspective could be lenses. Like putting on a pair of glasses, we view everything through the perspective or lenses of our experiences. We bring this to everything we do and encounter. Our background, particularly concerning faith, influences how we practice that faith and relate it to others. Perception and perspective do not have to be our enemies, but they can be. If a believer in Christ walks around with a scowl and thoroughly appears unhappy, why should anyone around said believer want to listen to anything they say about God. You can have all the T-shirts and bumper stickers, but if you are flipping people the bird as you drive, it really doesn’t matter. Think about how others perceive you in your walk with Christ. Think about how you may be looking at those around you. One of the greatest challenges to the Body of Christ today is to be relevant and meet people especially the un-churched where they are. If we don’t, what are we really doing? What is the purpose of the church if we are not reaching out? We can’t reach out if we haven’t dealt with our own junk first. It is the concept of telling someone they need to clean their house when yours is dirty and really cluttered. Keeping this in mind will help us in being the people God has called us to be. It doesn’t matter what church we go to. What matters is the quality of our relationship with Jesus and how we relate that relationship to the world around us. I pray you have the wisdom to see the things you need to see in your life and the strength to seek Him in a deeper way. We are not to be a defeated people. Be encouraged that you do not walk alone and be very blessed in His name. (Carrie Wolfe is the senior pastor of Beacon Ministries in Syracuse, Ohio.) Word from the Word Teach me, LORD, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end. Give me understanding, so that I may keep your law and obey it with all my heart. Direct me in the path of your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward your statutes and not toward selfish gain. Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word. Fulfill your promise to your servant, so that you may be feared. Take away the disgrace I dread, for your laws are good. How I long for your precepts! In your righteousness preserve my life. — Psalm 119:33-40 (NIV) Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

Box 683 Pomeroy, Ohio 45769-0683 �The Daily Sentinel FAITH • FAMILY Change In churches which observe the various “special” days of the Church year, last Sunday was Transfiguration Sunday. It reminds us of the unique transformation Jesus underwent, as it was seen by the three disciples who had scaled the height of that mountain with him. Exactly which mountain the four of them climbed to the top of is a matter of conjecture. For a fact, Peter, James, and John were the three disciples. In the first chapter of his second epistle Peter confirms he was one of those who witnessed this amazing spectacle. But, along with Jesus’ glowing white and bright, the disciples also observed him to be in the august company of two distinguished alumni of the Old Testament — i.e., Moses and Elijah. Then there was that voice, and those words they would never forget: ... “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!” There it was: divine confirmation that Jesus, their rabbi, mentor and friend was every-thing he had ever said he was — and more, much, much more! The voice was resolute, and the pronouncement itself was absolute. Make no mistake: ignore Jesus, and you’ll answer to God. Nothing those three men had ever heard Thomas Johnson before so frightened them out of their wits as did that one proclamation. Immediately and instinctively, the disciples to hit the dirt as if their very lives depended on it. They knew they had just heard the voice of Almighty God, and they also knew it is impossible to survive seeing the face of God. The only sensible thing they could think of doing was to “duck and cover” — and hope and pray they got down quick enough! What’s it like in your church these days? Do people enter the Sanctuary as if they are coming into the very presence of God? Or is it more stagnant and sterile, “same old, same old”? It is in worship where we, the people of God and the literal embodiment of Christ, gather together to worship the Head of the Church, the King of the Kingdom, and the Lord of all Lords. God is entitled to His due, as opposed to being something of an afterthought. Is it possible we have lost touch with Him, and thus no longer enter His presence with awe and reverence, and His courts with “thanksgiving and praise”? Have we, as Americans, relegated God to a less-thanholy position on our totem pole? One sacred attribute of “The American Way” is to acknowledge all others as our equals, and to regard no one as better than another. Is it not written in The Declaration of Independence that ... “All men are created equal.” Yeah, right! Welcome to “La-la Land,” where everyday is a holiday and every meal is a feast. If we’re all so equal, why are athletes paid millions to entertain us as they do, and why is it that our youth worship them now and aspire to be one of them when they grow up?!? Consider this irony: serving our Country likewise is looked upon as an honorable and noble gesture. Serving the Lord, not-so-much. Of course, the latter is more “a calling,” a vocation not to be entered into lightly. Above all else, ministry is not for those who aspire to be rich or famous. Still, Francis of Assisi turned his back on that lifestyle and the world is the bet- ter for his having done so. Transfiguration. Transformation. Metamorphosis. Three big “twenty-five cent” words for one simple word — i.e., change. Atop that mountain Jesus changed, and there and then the disciples witnessed “proof positive” he was worthy of their allegiance and devotion. Their lives would never again be the same. James would become the first in a long and ongoing line of martyrs. (The persecution of Christians didn’t end when the “games” ended in the Coliseum at Rome, but don’t expect to hear about this stuff on the nightly news!) When a caterpillar spins its cocoon in the fall, it’s preparing for its emergence in the spring as a butterfly. First, however, it has to struggle to get out; otherwise, there is no change. You and I are not yet all God means for us to become. We may have some more struggles of our own up ahead, and as we struggle we will change — or be changed. What doesn’t kill us will make us stronger. And better. Or bitter. May our common goal be to become better. (Rev. Thomas Johnson is pastor of Trinity Church in Pomeroy, Ohio.) Do not become imaginative with God’s precious rules The high school baseball season has officially begun in terms of high school teams being allowed to practice. The beginning date for playing games is March 28. Registered officials have been getting ready, too. Base and plate mechanics have to be diligently practiced. Studying the rules book and the case book interpretations of the rules requires diligent study. It is the case book interpretation of the rules that often provides an imaginative explanation for the specifics of the rules. For example, if you read Rule 8, it says that if a batter “intentionally” interferes with the catcher trying to field the ball on a third strike, the batter is out. The corresponding case book interpretation states that, if the batter “accidentally” interferes, the play stands. While the rule is firm, it seems to me that the case book opens the door to some imaginative officiating. As our son, Ron, has tried to teach his son, Justus, about the rules of playing baseball, he had to early-on endure Justus’ imaginative interpretation of the basic rules. Ron wrote the following account about a year ago: Ron Branch “You should try playing baseball with his made-up interpretation of the rules. The latest version involved chaining up imaginary bad guys who would break out and try to steal home. As I rehash the scenario, I think that the term ‘steal home’ meant to Justus that they were actually trying to steal home plate like a burglar (that just dawned on me). When we would throw the ball to the imaginary catcher, the ball would turn into a grenade and blow up the bad guy. If the throw was too late (as it often was), we would have to chase the bad guy around the yard and chain him up again. Regardless of the outcome of the throw, this scenario was replayed tirelessly until I insisted that we play by the real rules. At that point Justus packed up the bases and broke out his Scooby toys.” Serving our high schools over the years as an umpire, I have heard responses from the fans in the stands with some problematic interpretations of the rules. I have probably done the same myself while on the field. While written rules for most everything are accorded personal interpretations, the same should not hold true as it concerns God’s precious rules. Unfortunately, many within the ranks of the church have become too imaginative in interpreting God’s written rules during the days of this postmodern predominance of ideas for living life. That is why the vices and obvious sins of men find justification within the judgments of certain religious parameters. When humanistic interpretations from within the church are applied to the written rules of God, there can be nothing less than religious confusion and spiritual weakness. If the absolute truth of God’s rule is “Thou shalt not steal,” it is preposterous when any of the church puts forth an imaginative interpretation of the rule to justify stealing. The same holds true for “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” How can any of the church interpret justification for gambling when the absolute truth of God’s rule is pointspecific, “Thou shalt not covet?” If any interpretation of God’s rules is to be made, there is one and only one personal interpretation to correctly to employ. It is interpretation of the rules of God by His divine Son, Jesus Christ. It is recorded in God’s written Word the Lord’s particular and correct interpretations of God’s rules. Our spiritual responsibility exacts of us to consider the rules of God on the standard of Jesus Christ — the divine who He is, the divine what He did through His death on the Cross and Resurrection from the dead, and the divine service He now provides making intercession for us at the right hand of God. If the current economic, political, and world troubles are not jolting us out of our imaginative interpretations back to spiritual reality, our ungodly and God-less rules interpretations will utterly ruin the game for us. (Rev. Ron Branch is pastor of Faith Baptist Church in Mason, W.Va.) Page A5 Friday, March 11, 2011 Knowing the will of God One of most difficult things in life for any person is finding the real reason for their existence. For the Believer that difficult task turns into finding God’s perfect will for their life. Having a purposeful faith-walk requires knowing the will of God. In other words, faith begins where the will of God is known. It is impossible to have faith in or towards something you don’t know. Therefore, to know the will of God for your life is a very important and key element to your faith-walk. Our lives have been so consumed, conditioned and conformed to the patterns of this world filled with unrest, uncertainty, unbelief and fear that it becomes difficult to even be confident about what we might think is God’s will for our lives. This is why the Apostle Paul challenges us to not be conformed to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God (Rom. 12:2). In other words, he challenges us to not have our minds and lifestyles formed to the patters of this world’s systems but to transcend that. In other words, to go pass the systems of this world by renewing our minds with the word of God, so that you may be able to prove what is good, acceptable and perfect will of God. Here are where you find the proof in the pudding. When your mind is being renewed, not only will you be able to know what the good, acceptable and perfect will of God is for your life and for life Alex Colon itself, but you’ll be able to discern and understand it! Now that right there is one amazing conclusion. Often times we don’t even know which end is up. Have you ever felt that you didn’t know whether you were coming or going? Lol. Sure, most of us have at some point in time and often times, we have felt that way several times. That’s when you feel like you are going nuts. But with a renewed mind, we will know which end is up and know exactly where we are going. That’s God’s promise! Be intentional and purposeful in your faith-walk! Design your life buy structuring your time in the Word, and your time in Prayer. Study to show yourself approved and pray purposeful prayers. In other words, pray according to the Word and not according to your or somebody else’s experience. Let the Word of God rule your mind and heart, and you will discover amazing things in your life, and for your life that bring glory and honor to God. God’s will for your life is to be known, discerned, discovered, displayed, proven and enjoyed. It’s a fun faithwalk — it truly is! Make it a Good Day! (Rev.

Hoffman places in Poetry Outloud Contest BY DELYSSA HUFFMAN DHUFFMAN@MYDAILYREGISTER.COM LETART — One 18year old student at Wahama Jr/Sr High School recently was acknowledged with placing in the Top 5 of the 2011 Poetry Outloud Contest. During her first time entering the event, Destiny Hoffman was named one of the finalists. “This was my first time,” Hoffman said. “My only poetry experience comes from reading a poem at our Veteran’s assembly.” Hoffman said a teacher approached her and suggested she enter the contest. “I had to memorize three poems and recite them in front of a panel of judges and an audience,” Hoffman said. She continued to say that it isn’t just reading lines. “You have to get into it,” Hoffman said. “And really express what you are say- ing.” The three poems Hoffman read were, “To the Virgins to Make Much of Time” by Robert Herrick, “Who Understands Me But Me,” by Jimmy Santingo, and “The Paradox” by Paul Laurence Dunbar. “Who Understands Me But Me” was my favorite one,” Hoffman said. The senior has plans to go to school to become a psychiatrist upon graduation. She is the daughter of Margaret Hoffman. Grassland Reserve Program enrollment ends March 18 POMEROY — The Meigs County Farm Service Agency (FSA) and the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) are accepting applications for the 2011 Grassland Reserve Program (GRP). The deadline for submitting GRP applications is March 18, according to Dave Fox of the Meigs County Farm Service Agency. Applicantsd are also to submit offers for GRP easement and GRP rental contracts. The GRP is a jointly administered program between FSA and Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). GRP assists landowners and operators to protect grazing uses and related conservation values by conserving and restoring grassland resources on eligible private lands. Those who currently have an EQIP or CRP contract on the farm are ineligible for GRP. Both agencies accept applications on a continuous basis; however, ranking dates are established to evaluate and select applications for current year funding. Any applications received after March 18, 2011 shall be retained until the next ranking period, Fox said. Preference will be given to working grazing operations with an approved grazing plan, and that that land which has been historically dominated by grassland and provides habitat for animal or plant populations of significant ecological value. Only landowners may voluntarily apply for GRP easements. Either owners or operators may voluntarily apply for GRP rental contracts as long as the operator can provide proper documents to show control of rental acres during the entire contract period. Participants must meet adjusted gross income requirements, must be in conservation compliance and cannot exceed the $50,000 payment limitation. Rental contracts may be for duration of 10 years, 15 years or 20 years and rental payments in Meigs County are $16.25 per acre per year of the contract. Easements are permanent and a payment is based on the geographic area rate cap of the land less the grazing value. For more information please contact the office @ 740992-6646.

Sarah Hawley/photos The Point Pleasant boys basketball team, cheerleaders and staff hold the Class AA Region 1 Championship Award following Wednesday evening's regional final victory over Weir at Ripley High School in Ripley, W.Va. The Big Blacks advanced to the WVSSAC Class AA State Tournament for the first time since the 1975 season with the 66-41 win. Big Blacks headed to state tournament Point cruises past Weir for first regional title in 36 years BY SARAH HAWLEY SHAWLEY@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM RIPLEY, W.Va. — Third times the charm. For the third time in as many seasons, Point Pleasant and Weir faced off in the Class AA Region 1 Final. In the 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons Point Pleasant made the long trip to Weirton, W.Va. only to come home with the loss. On Wednesday evening, the Big Blacks hosted Weir at Ripley High School and this time it was the Red Riders who had the long trip home following the loss. It had been 36 years since the Point Pleasant boys basketball team had advanced to the WVSSAC State Tournament, but with Wednesday’s 66-41 victory over Weir they did just that. The Big Blacks — who last week won their first sectional title since 1996 — earned their first regional title since the 1975 season. “I took this job 11 years ago, and this was my dream,” Point Pleasant head coach Richie Blain said of making it to the state tournament. “I just felt like we could get there. The last couple years — those two previous classes — kind of got the ship going that direction. We were that close two years in a row and couldn’t quite seal the deal. We did it this year. I’m just thankful to my guys, thankful to my coaching staff.” Weir scored on its opening possession of the contest, taking a 3-0 lead just 12 seconds into game. Point Pleasant’s first score came at the 5:58 mark when Jacob Templeton hit the first of two free throws. The Red Riders took their largest lead of the game — five points — by a score of 6-1 at the 5:21 mark of the first quarter.

(AP) — A plane carrying several Marshall assistant football coaches safely landed at a Kentucky airport after it was diverted from Charleston because of a landing gear malfunction. Wednesday’s incident revived memories of the 1970 plane crash outside Huntington that killed 75 people, including most of Marshall’s football team, several coaches and fans. Media outlets report that the plane was preparing to land at Yeager Airport when the malfunction occurred. A Marshall spokesman says the plane was diverted to an airport in Lexington, Ky., because it has a longer landing strip. The passengers included tight ends coach Phil Ratliff. He grew up hearing about the 1970 crash and says the incident was “just unbelievable.” �Page B2 • The Daily Sentinel Marietta maintains lead in SEOAL All-Sports trophy chase BY CRAIG DUNN SPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL With five spring sports remaining, Marietta High School remains on track to earn its final Southeastern Ohio Athletic League William E. (Bill) Thomas AllSports Trophy championship. After winning five of eight fall sports titles, Marietta shared the girls basketball title with Logan and finished fourth in both boys and girls basketball during the winter. Marietta, which leaves the SEOAL for the East Central Ohio League at the end of the current school year, has won the last two All-Sports titles and six of the last seven. MHS has 51.5 total points and added a halfpoint to its lead over second-place Warren (43), with Logan (37.5) third, Gallia Academy (33.5) fourth, Chillicothe (33) fifth, Jackson (26) sixth and Portsmouth (18.5) seventh. Last fall, Marietta won championships in golf, boys soccer, girls soccer, volleyball and girls cross country, was runner-up in boys cross country and tied for third in girls tennis to take a substantial early lead. During the winter, runner-up Warren — which has amassed more points in boys sports than Marietta (27.5 to 26.5) — was third in boys basketball and wrestling and fourth in girls basketball. Logan and Marietta tied for the most points attained (13.5) during the winter season. In addition to the co-championship in girls basketball, Logan placed second in wrestling. Gallipolis claimed the wrestling crown and passed Chillicothe, which earned the boys basketball title, for fourth place overall. Jackson’s best finish during the winter was third in girls basketball while Portsmouth’s top placing was second in boys basketball. Points are determined on an 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 basis in sports where all seven schools field full teams. In other sports, points are determined as to how many teams competed for the title. Since Portsmouth doesn’t have a wrestling team, for example, those points were determined on a 6-5-4-3-2-1 basis. Half-points are awarded in the case of ties. Championships in baseball, softball, boys tennis, and boys and girls track and field will be up for grabs beginning later this month. The SEOAL, one of the longest-running prep conferences in the state, was formed by William E. (Bill) Thomas of Wellston in 1925 and began competition with a boys track meet that spring, with 1925-26 being the first full season of conference competition. Craig Dunn is the sports editor of the Logan Daily News in Logan, Ohio. www.mydailysentinel.com Marquette wins again in Big East tournament NEW YORK (AP) — Darius Johnson-Odom proved his coach wrong, and his coach is thrilled. Johnson-Odom scored 11 points, including two big 3-pointers in the final minutes, and Marquette beat No. 20 West Virginia 67-61 on Wednesday night in the second round of the Big East tournament. The Golden Eagles’ second-leading scorer at 16.2 per game and their most proficient 3-point shooter with 62 from beyond the arc entering the game, Johnson-Odom had missed six of his first eight shots from the field — and that included not making any of his three 3-point attempts. “He’s a very special player, but he’s an even more special person, and maybe more so than any player I’ve coached, he senses when I’m mad at him,” Marquette coach Buzz Williams said. “The same exact thing happened when we played at UConn. I’m mad at him, I yank him in and out of the game. He gives the typical player response, ‘I can’t get into the flow.’ But he tries to prove me wrong. “Those two shots, you could argue, changed the game. Definitely changed the momentum.” And they may have changed Marquette’s March plans, for sure. The 11th-seeded Golden Eagles (20-13) advanced to the quarterfinals, where they will face third-seeded and 14thranked Louisville (23-8) on Thursday night. Marquette came into the conference tournament considered the last of the 11 Big East teams Sarah Hawley/photos Point Pleasant’s Kylenn Criste dribbles past a Weir defender during the second half of Wednesday’s tournament contest at Ripley High School in Ripley, W.Va. Point from Page B1 The Big Blacks tied the game for the first time (11-11) at the 2:02 mark on a Dillon McCarty three-pointer. A pair of McCarty free throws with 43.7 seconds left in the quarter gave Point its first lead of the contest. Weir tied the score at 13 in the early seconds of the second quarter, with Point regaining the two point lead at the 6:50 mark. The Red Riders tied the score at the 6:34 mark of the game, and would trail for the remainder of the game. Point Pleasant took the lead for good at the 6:04 mark on a Templeton two-pointer. Point Pleasant took its largest lead of the first half on a McCarty three-point goals with 3.5 seconds remaining by a score of 28-19. McCarty scored 20 of Point Pleasant’s 28 first half points. “Dillon McCarty is the ultimate competitor,” stated Blain. “He hates to lose, but he’s not just satisfied with trying to score points. He’s everywhere rebounding, defensively he’s on a tough matchup every night. He’s just one of those kids that you got to leave him on the court, because he makes things happen on both ends in positive directions. I’m just really happy for him, Friday, March 11, 2011 he had a great night.” The Red Riders scored first in the third quarter — as they did in each of the four quarters — to cut the deficit to seven. Weir cut the lead to five on three occasions in the first three minutes of the second half, with the final time coming at the 5:23 mark (32-27). A 90 run by Point Pleasant gave the Big Blacks the 41-27 advantage at the 3:12 mark of the third. Point Pleasant took its largest lead of the third quarter — 15 points — on a pair of Wade Martin free throws with 15.7 seconds remaining in the quarter. Weir cut the deficit to 13 at the 7:30 mark of the fourth quarter — the closest it would come in that could get a bid into the NCAA tournament’s field of 68. It seems the wins over Providence and West Virginia have made that an almost certainty. “I went out early again tonight, I was looking for someone on the selection committee. I didn’t see anybody,” Williams said in keeping his way of not answering the question about his team sealing their bid. “I thought they would be the best dressed here. I saw a lot of guys from Wall Street. I did not see anybody from the selection committee.” Kevin Jones had 15 points for the Mountaineers (20-11), the defending tournament champions who went on to the Final Four. West Virginia was 7 of 11 from 3-point range in taking a 36-29 halftime lead, but the Mountaineers were just 3 of 11 from beyond the arc in the second half. “It’s been a yearlong problem, we just don’t make open shots,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said of his team’s 6-for-27 effort from the field in the second half. “I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve said it, and said it and said it. We just don’t make open shots. We made some shots in the first half and then in the second half we didn’t make shots. We don’t have people who can drive it to the basket. That’s not the kind of guys we have, so we have to depend on making some shots.” All eight teams in the quarterfinals have at least 20 wins and only Marquette is not ranked in the Top 25. Junior Cadougan led Marquette with 15 points and five assists. “I think Junior did a great job tonight, he played as hard as anybody,” Johnson-Odom said of his backcourt partner. “He controlled the tempo of the game on both ends of the court. When you see a kid like Junior who’s been through an Achilles’ tear, you just have to smile. He’s been working his butt off. “Junior carried us, he controlled the game, he did a great job of doing it.” Then there was Johnson-Odom’s big 3s that ended his shooting slump. “My teammates do a great job of finding me on shots, and it’s my job to make ‘em, knock ‘em down,” he said. “We did a great job guarding and I think if we do that, it’ll be hard for teams to beat us.” John Flowers had 11 points, and Darryl Bryant added 10 for the Mountaineers. Neither team shined offensively over the final 10 minutes of the game. Casey Mitchell’s 3 gave West Virginia a 5148 lead with 11:06 to play, but that was the Mountaineers’ last field goal until Flowers’ reverse layup brought them within 61-57 with 1:45 to go. Johnson-Odom gave Marquette the lead for good with a 3 with 4:44 left that made it 58-55. That was the Golden Eagles’ first field goal in almost 6 minutes. Johnson-Odom didn’t wait long for his next 3, making one less than a minute later that gave the Golden Eagles a 61-55 lead. “D.J.’s shots were big, but the reason we won the game was because we guarded in the second half,” Williams said. Bryant made two free throws with 31.5 seconds to play to bring West Virginia within 64-61 and he stole the ball right away, but missed a wild shot and Marquette closed it out by making three of four free throws in the final 25.4 seconds. Marquette lost to Georgetown in the semifinals last year and that was the team West Virginia beat for its first Big East tournament title. That was West Virginia’s third straight year of reaching the semifinals. Marquette won the regular-season meeting with West Virginia, 79-74. This is the third straight year the defending champion lost in its first game the next season. Many claim the byes and double-byes the better teams get are the reason it’s tough to repeat. “I don’t think it worked against us,” Huggins said of the bye. “We played well the first half. If it worked against us, we wouldn’t have played well the first half. You shoot 22 percent in the second half, you’re not going to win. You’re not going to win in this league.” Point Pleasant head basketball coach Richie Blain holds up the net to celebrate Wednesday evening’s regional title over Weir. The Big Blacks won by a score of 66-41 to advance to state tournament. the final quarter. Following the Weir basket, the Big Blacks went on a 21-9 run to finish the contest. The Big Blacks largest lead of the game — 25 points — came following a Matt Lewis free throw with 19.1 seconds remaining. Point Pleasant earned the 66-41 victory to advance to the state tournament. McCarty led all scorers with 24 points in the victory. Templeton added 16 points, Jacob Wamsley added nine points and Wade Martin scored eight points. Kylenn Criste and JeWaan Williams each added four points and Lewis scored one point. Khristian Williams scored 13 points to lead Weir, followed by Michael Drizake with nine points. Harley Mills added six points, Tyler Salko and Anthony Gurrera each scored five points and Freddie Jones added three points. The Red Riders had ended Point Pleasant’s season in each of the last two years by scores of 55-33 in 2009 and 55-40 in 2010. Point Pleasant — the seventh seed in the Class AA tournament — will face second seed Scott on Thursday at 1 p.m. at the Charleston Civic Center. The Big Blacks and Scott — a Cardinal Conference opponent — split during the regular season, with both teams winning at home. The Skyhawks defeated Point 50-33 on December 18, while Point Pleasant won by a score of 63-59 on February 15.

After Jeff Gordon won in Phoenix, he also spun on his first practice lap the following week in Vegas. Both wrecked in the race the week after their wins. EARLY HOLE The season is only three races old, but four big names have dug a points hole already. Jamie McMurray, Joey Logano, Greg Biffle and Jeff Burton rank 29th32nd in the point standings. While each driver will undoubtedly improve, not all four will make the Chase, as the new points system makes it harder to gain ground than in the past. EARLY SURPRISES While the four aforementioned drivers have some work to do, Paul Menard (sixth), Martin Truex Jr. (seventh) and AJ Allmendinger (ninth) have overachieved. The trio has a combined 461 Cup starts to its credit — the equivalent of 12.8 seasons — yet has only one win and one Chase appearance (Truex, 2007). STRAIGHT-LINE SPEED Kurt Busch will trade his stock car for a dragster during NASCAR’s upcoming off weekend. Busch will make his NHRA Full Throttle Series debut when he attempts to qualify for the prestigious Gatornationals on March 11-13. Busch, who will compete in the Pro Stock division, earned his NHRA license over the winter. He will compete in a Dodge Avenger for Allen Johnson and J&J Racing.

Carl Edwards Edwards has three wins and a second in his last five races going back to 2010. It’s like the boy has tiger blood and Adonis DNA. #Winning 2. Kurt Busch The only driver to have recorded three top 10s in the three 2011 races, Busch is somehow flying under the radar while being tied for first in the point standings. 3. Tony Stewart Smoke just can’t close the deal. For the third consecutive race, he was in it to win it in the closing laps, only to come up short. 4. Ryan Newman If you said you realized Newman was running fifth in the standings on the strength of two top 5s (and that he led the most laps in the Daytona 500), you’re lying. 5. Juan Pablo Montoya Another early-season surprise, Montoya has two top 10s and is tied with Edwards for third in the standings. Even cooler is that he has 276,821 followers on Twitter. 6. Jeff Gordon The right side of his car has been taking a lot of abuse this season. Three races, three crumpled fenders. Of course, he still managed to win one of those. 7. Kyle Busch Ran eighth and second in the first two races, then blew up in Vegas. Despite the two solid runs, he dropped from first to 14th in the standings with the 38th on Sunday. That’s harsh. 8. Jimmie Johnson In Johnson’s last eight Vegas starts he has four wins and four finishes of 16th or worse. Not sure how to quantify that. 9. Dale Earnhardt Jr. Junior Nation showing measured optimism after consecutive top 10s with new crew chief Steve Letarte. The smart money says he’ll be good at Bristol, too. 10. Denny Hamlin Hamlin’s face is off the milk carton after a seventh at LVMS. Honestly, it was a quiet seventh, so maybe his mug is still there. 11. Kevin Harvick Last year at this time Harvick was leading the point standings. This year? Not so much. 12. Mark Martin He looked like an older version of Kyle Busch in winning the Nationwide race in Vegas. 13. Paul Menard Don’t tear up your equipment and log some solid finishes — just what the new owner likes. 14. Martin Truex Jr. Truex and crew chief Pat Tryson are only getting stronger at Michael Waltrip Racing. 15. Kasey Kahne Clearly still learning the ropes with his new team, but things look good so far. Just off the lead pack: AJ Allmendinger, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Matt Kenseth, Bobby Labonte Tony Stewart ASP, Inc. Pair of Nines Wins in Vegas Edwards’ two tires beat Stewart’s four By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor In Las Vegas, the hand you’re dealt doesn’t have to be great, just better than those you’re playing against. Such was the case on Sunday, when Carl Edwards outran a dominant Tony Stewart, who fell victim to a pit road penalty that dictated his strategy for the remainder of the event and ultimately doomed his chance at a win in the Kobalt Tools 400. Edwards, in turn, led the final 22 laps and cruised to a 1.2-second win at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. “I think Tony was the car to beat all day,” Edwards said. “That car was just lightning fast. But those guys (Stewart’s crew) took two tires with 60 or 70 laps to go, and he took off, so Bob (Osborne, crew chief) said, ‘Hey, let’s try it, let’s take two tires.’ We came in, we pitted, the guys did a great job — I barely beat Juan Montoya once we got back on the race track — so this pit stop was key. If it would have been a half-second longer we would not have won the race.” Ah, yes — back to Stewart. As Edwards referenced, it was his miscue — or rather, his misfortune — that set the tone for the remainder of the race. Stewart started 15th, but worked his way into the lead on lap 99 and led 124 laps until a caution on lap 151 changed the complexion of the race. During the ensuing round of pit stops, Stewart pulled a lug wrench air hose out of his stall and was issued a pass-through penalty for taking equipment outside his pit box, dropping his No. 14 Chevy out of the lead and into 27th on the restart. When a caution on lap 195 precipitated another round of yellow-flag stops, Darian Grubb, crew chief for the No. 14 team, made the call for two tires when the majority of the field took four in an effort to gain track position. Stewart won the battle off pit road as a result, and pulled away from the field when the green ASP, Inc. Carl Edwards salutes the crowd at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway after winning the Kobalt Tools 400. waved with 66 laps remaining. When the fuel window re-opened with 32 laps to go, Stewart again hit pit road and was forced to take four tires, while others who had taken four on the previous stop — namely Edwards, Juan Pablo Montoya, Marcos Ambrose and Ryan Newman — took two. That relegated Stewart to third when the stops cycled through, and handicapped his track position. “I honestly think we had the car to beat today, we just gave it away,” Stewart said. “I don’t know what happened on the pit stop there, but we had a miscue and had a penalty and had to go to the back, and unfortunately it kind of dealt our cards for us. Darian made a good call getting us the track position back, but it also showed everybody else that they could do it, too (take two tires), and we couldn’t run two and a half runs on a set of left-side tires.” Stewart’s assertion was accurate, as Osborne made the final two-tire stop based how the No. 14 pulled away from the pack in clean air with two tires. “It definitely didn’t hurt the decision-making process to see them (Stewart’s team) run extremely well with two tires,” Osborne said. “Their car was very good regardless, and I thought our only opportunity was to leapfrog them on the racetrack and hope we were able to hold them off.” Edwards did just that, leading the rest of the way for his second career win at LVMS. Stewart rebounded to finish second, while Montoya, Ambrose and Newman rounded out the top 5. Stewart has been in position to win all three races thus far in the 2011 season, but has yet to close the deal. A similar two-tire stop at Phoenix ruined his chances last week when many in the field took four, and he lost his drafting partner after restarting second in a green-white-checker finish in the Daytona 500. Does he take solace in the fact that he now holds a tie for the points lead and is close to finding Victory Lane? “I probably should, but that’s not in my makeup,” Stewart said. “I mean, it kills me to throw a race away like that, especially at a place we haven’t won at yet. This was a big deal today, and when you lead that many laps (163 of 267) and have a car that’s that fast and you lose it … I’m sure tomorrow when the emotion dies down we’ll look back and say it was a great weekend, but man, it does not sit good right now.” Throttle Up/Throttle Down CARL EDWARDS The winner of the last two races in 2010 has picked up where he left off, recording a runner-up showing at Daytona and winning the third race in 2011. With the win, Edwards vaulted to third in the point standings. JEFF BURTON The driver referred to as “The Mayor” in the NASCAR garage is digging quite a hole for himself. Burton has averaged a 27.7-place finish through three events in 2011. An expired engine at Daytona and a wreck in Phoenix preceded a non-existent showing in Las Vegas — typically one of Burton’s stronger tracks — when he ran 21st. � FOX Sports’ Darrell Waltrip has signed a two-year contract extension to continue as lead analyst for the network’s NASCAR on FOX coverage. Waltrip’s agreement with FOX Sports now extends through the network’s current rights agreement with the sport, which expires in 2014. “Being part of the NASCAR on FOX team has given me an opportunity to share my passion and love for NASCAR,” Waltrip said. “I never thought there would be anything that could replace the thrill of driving race cars. I was wrong. Bringing that thrill to the fans at home every week is just as exciting!” Waltrip has been with FOX since its inaugural season in 2001. As a driver, Waltrip amassed 84 career wins (tied with Bobby Allison for third all-time) and won three Cup titles (1981, ’82, ’85). � Danica Patrick’s fourth-place finish in Saturday’s Nationwide Series’ Sam’s Town 300 marked the highest finish for a female in NASCAR touring series history. Patrick’s run bested that of Sara Christian, who recorded a fifthplace finish at Heidelberg Speedway in October 1949. Patrick used a combination of strong equipment and good fuel mileage to break into the top 5 by race’s end after being down one lap early in the event. Patrick’s previous best was a 14th, which came in the season opener at Daytona. � Robby Gordon has been placed on probation for one year by NASCAR for a physical confrontation in the garage at Las Vegas Motor Speedway last Friday. In a filing with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, NASCAR driver Kevin Conway claims Gordon assaulted him, throwing “a couple of punches.” The incident stems from a lawsuit filed by Gordon against Conway’s sponsor, ExtenZe, which he Keeping Meigs County informed The Daily Sentinel Subscribe • 992-2155 claims owes his Robby Gordon Motorsports team $690,000 in unpaid sponsorship money. RGM fielded a car for Conway in seven races last season. Gordon drove the ExtenZesponsored car in two races (and failed to qualify for a third), citing a clause in the contract associated with keeping the car in the top 35 in owner’s points. According to court documents, ExtenZe refused to pay because it never approved Gordon as the driver. Concurrently, Conway is suing RGM for $27,000 in unpaid Rookie of the Year prize money. Gordon claims he would pay Conway the money if he is paid what is owed to him by the sponsor.

When: Sunday, March 20 TV: FOX (1:00 pm EST) Banking/Turns: Variable (24-30 degrees) Banking/Straightaways: 16 degrees 2010 Winner: Jimmie Johnson Crew Chief’s Take: “Having a car that handles well in the center of the corner off is a key to working through the pack. Track position is a key as well. As the race winds down, most crew chiefs opt for position over new tires, as getting through traffic quickly is next to impossible. For a driver, it's like walking a tightrope. If you’re tense, nervous or uncomfortable, you can’t function there. The great drivers say that if you can get settled in and get comfortable, everything seems to slow down, but there aren’t many with the skills to really reach that point. Most of them just say they do.” NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Jeff Byrd 500 Track: Bristol Motor Speedway When: Saturday, March 19 TV: ESPN (2:00 pm EST) 2010 Winner: Justin Allgaier CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: Too Tough to Tame 200 Track: Darlington Raceway When: Saturday, March 12 TV: SPEED (5:00 pm EST) 2010 Winner: Todd Bodine Classic Moments Bristol Motor Speedway In the early- and mid-1980s, the only thing more certain than Darrell Waltrip winning the booing contest in pre-race introductions was his winning trophies at Bristol. Waltrip won an astounding seven straight at the half-mile bullring between March 1981 and April 1984. However, the streak came to an end in August ’84 at the Busch 500. Waltrip led 144 laps early but was plagued by myriad of issues late in the race. Instead, Terry Labonte battled back from two accidents — one a foreshadowing of things to come in the 1990s with Dale Earnhardt — to break Waltrip’s Bristol streak. It was Labonte’s fourth career victory and one that catapulted him by Earnhardt into the championship lead. Labonte pulled away from Harry Gant down the stretch to win the 1984 Winston Cup. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Kyle Busch is taking his turn as the Beast of Bristol. It runs in waves. Pretty Solid Pick: Carl Edwards seems to have his mojo back. And his two BMS wins prove he can get around this joint. Good Sleeper Pick: Dale Earnhardt Jr. is a pretty safe top-10 pick even in his down years. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Even in his heyday, Bobby Labonte never quite figured out Bristol. Insider Tip: They’re going to have to go through Kyle, one way or another. And races on the new surface are easier to predict. Hendrick Motorsports � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
