BY BRIAN J. REED BREED@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY — The final quarter of a difficult fiscal year has ended with a bit of positive news for county government. The second-half real estate tax settlement, representing proceeds of property taxes, was up $27,000 compared to the secondhalf collections last year. Earlier this year, the first-half real estate settle- WEATHER ment was also up from that of last year. The news comes at a time when the county and other local governments are squeezing pennies to eek through a difficult year. This year was particularly challenging to local government budgets because of uncertainty earlier in the year surrounding what counties, villages and townships would receive through its Local Government Revenue proceeds. Those funds were eventually recovered in the final budget. In Middleport, police staff reductions have already taken place, and Fiscal Officer Susan Baker said the village’s finance committee and she continue close monitoring of the village’s expenditures. That village may have a bright spot others do not. Officials expect a village hall and jail construction project will actually increase revenue for the village, through use by other agencies of its jail. Baker pointed out earlier in the year it is one of the few opportunities to increase general fund income, at a time when income tax revenue, proceeds from fines and fees and virtually every other funding source stands still. County Commissioners BY CHARLENE HOEFLICH HOEFLICH@MYDAILYSENTINEL.COM POMEROY – Concern about those less fortunate than they prompted the 4Fun 4-H Club to raise money over the summer so they could buy an animal at the fair livestock sale, have it processed, and donate it to the Meigs Cooperative Parish. Thursday afternoon the 16 members of the club from Chester, Reedsville and Pomeroy, and their advisor, Rachael Hawley, delivered the packaged meat – 210 pounds – to the Mulberry Community Center and put it in a freezer. They asked that it be used for the Saviour’s Soup, a luncheon program operated by volunteers where anyone can eat with or without making a donation. Over the summer the 4-Hers held bake sales and a car wash to raise $700 with which they purchased the hog and then raised another $150 to pay for having the meat processed.

They’ll be like any other city employee. I can call them any time I want to, and I can tell them to come in,” Finney said. “If they want to leave the premises, that’s fine. They’re not on call. They just need to call dispatch and tell them, ‘I’m leaving the property,’ that way dispatch will know to notify people to come, and somebody can get the truck — but 90 percent of the time they’ll be somebody at the station.” According to Finney, depending upon the schedule that is developed, the station firefighter could work during the daytime hours — when less fires call typically arise — and would be off in the evening hours as more volunteers become available. “We should be okay with this scenario to make this thing go forward,” Finney said. City Commission President Jim Cozza also requested that Finney notify the townships that are currently under contract with the Gallipolis Fire Department for fire protection of the expected changes to the position: Addison, Green, Gallipolis and Clay Townships. An ordinance that will change the resident firefighter’s position is expected to be brought before the commission during their regular meeting on Sept. 6. “I see a very low impact on anybody with this,” Finney said. “I think it’s going to work out fine for us.” In other action: • The commission approved an emergency ordinance that will allow the city to enter into an agreement with Medical Mutual for hospitalization, medical and major medical, drug and dental insurance coverage for city employees. • The commission passed an emergency ordinance directing the city manager to continue term life insurance coverage for city employees. • The commission passed an emergency ordinance authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with Ohio Quickcare for health care services for city employees. • The commission approved an emergency ordinance authorizing the city to participate in the Ohio Public Works Commission State Capital Improvement program for the fourth avenue resurfacing project. • The city manager reported that the new secondary access road leading to Mound Hill Cemetery has been chipped and sealed, providing a better driving surface. • The commission passed an emergency ordinance accepting and rejecting bids for solid waste collection and disposal. • During the meeting, the commission entered executive session to discuss the purchase and sale of property.

On Jan. 7, 1994, Cremeens was present in the common pleas court and was granted five years of shock probation in lieu of further jail time. Shock probation is a form of probation offered to a prisoner after he or she has served several months of his or her sentence. The idea behind this form of probation being that the first few months of jail time will “shock” the prisoner into good behavior. The shock probation section of the Ohio Revised Code was later repealed by the Ohio General Assembly. Shock probation, according to court documents, was also granted in this case as the victim, OVB, was not opposed to the sentence. In connection with her probation, Cremeens was ordered to perform 2,080 hours (one year) of community service and ordered to pay the costs of the special prosecutor, George Ellis, in the amount of $2,000 in this case. In her latest case, continuances have been filed and signed by Gallia County Prosecutor Jeff Adkins and the attorney for the defendant, William Conley, on April 11, July 15 and Aug. 22. The latest continuance states, “said motion is made on the basis that the parties are negotiating a settlement in this case, and additional time is needed to complete the terms of the settlement. C. Jeffrey Adkins, Prosecuting Attorney, has no objection to a continuance.” A journal entry ordering the continuance was filed on Sept. 1 and signed by Gallia County Magistrate Linda Warner.

Ohioan's tattoo leads to wife's arrest in slaying OREGON, Ohio (AP) — Police in Ohio say a dead man's heart-shaped tattoo pointed them to his wife, who is now charged in the killing along with her boyfriend. Investigators in suburban Toledo say the tattoo with the name "Jennelle" led them to a nearby trailer where the victim's wife had been living until recently. Authorities tell WTOL-TV in Toledo that a police officer noticed the tattoo and remembered being called to the trailer in the past. The body of Devin McGuire was found Tuesday floating in ditch in the Toledo suburb of Oregon. Police say he'd been stabbed more than 20 times. Jennelle McGuire and Shawn Brazeal have been charged with murder. They were in jail and due in court Thursday but did not have attorneys.

I know I have grieved more than I care to even think about again. We have lost so many people. We have seen things changing. Dynamics changing. We have even experienced the ground literally shaking! So the just exactly what is going and why are we going through all this? Well, there isn’t an easy answer. Personally, I believe we are in a season of change. Something is happening in our area. Something has been happening for a while, but it seems to have gone to hyper drive. Hebrews 12:27-29: Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be Carrie Wolfe shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. For our God is a consuming fire. The things which can be shaken are being shaken. The things that remain are the things from God. You see all that we see. All that we feel, all that we own — it is just temporary. It rusts, will decay and fades away, but the kingdom of God remains. The question becomes, so what is God doing A Hunger for More here? WIth us? I believe that Jesus is moving in the hearts and minds of people as never before. He is calling on generations. He is reaching out. He is trying to get our attention. Will we answer the call? Will we ignore the call? Will we stand back and watch as the enemy steals, kills and destroys our youth? Will we watch as those we care about slip away into an uncertain eternity? To every thing there is a season. The season to step up, speak up and get moving is upon us. Reach out. Build relationships. Be the church. Be like Christ. See Him in others. Be the believers we are called to be and rebuild the walls of the kingdom in our land! Come on, let’s do this and live a life of Grace Out Loud! (Carrie Wolfe is an assistant pastor at Team Jesus Ministries in Pomeroy, Ohio.) Search the Scriptures “...these were more noble...they searched the scriptures daily...” In a recent conversation with one who doubts that God authored the Bible, he, when faced with the inescapable truth that within the Bible are contained accurate scientific facts which were unknown at the time of the writing, brought out this explanation: “perhaps an alien from another planet or galaxy came to earth and gave the information to the writers of those facts.” His hypothesis illustrates the lengths to which a doubter must go to deny God’s role in providing the Bible for us. For years, the many religious groups who gather under the name, “Christianity,” have urged those interested in following God to “join the church of your choice.” These groups teach all that is necessary to please God is “faith,” and if one is “honest and sincere,” he will be accepted by God. Past columns of “Search the Scriptures” have cited Bible proofs that such is not taught therein. But, today, we want to look at the end result of following the logical progression of such a teaching. If one can choose a church of “his” choice, the next logical step is “accept the religious book of your choice,” for all manmade churches have creeds and books teaching their doctrines. Choosing from among these many books diminishes the authority of God’s Book, the Bible. Moving on further, after one chooses “his” church, chooses “his” book or creed, the next logical step must be to place all religions on an equal footing, though few who call themselves “Christian” are willing to follow this logic to the inescapable conclusion of accepting all religions. With the weakened condition resulting from choosing one’s church, one’s religious book, and one’s religion, has come doubt about God’s authorship of the Bible, let alone the authority of the Bible, thus leading to the hypothesis in the first paragraph of today’s article. It is likely readers may come across one who holds the hypothesis noted above. In today’s doubt-filled world, sadly it is no longer sufficient to say, “I just know God wrote the Bible.” With that in mind, it will be the goal of this and following articles to bring to readers proofs from many sources that God indeed exists, that He indeed authored the Bible, and that it alone is the authority for us today, if we want to please God. We will look first at terms and beliefs of those who doubt God’s existence. ”Atheism” is the belief that there is no God. An “atheist” is one who accepts that belief. The late Carl Sagan, one of the world’s most famous atheists, said, “The Cosmos is all that is or ever was or ever will be.” However, the atheist’s problem is, in order to defend such a position, he would have to know every single fact in the Universe, for the one fact he did not know might be the fact that proves God’s existence. Friday, September 2, 2011 Atheists don’t rely on facts to prove their belief; they rely on ridicule of those who believe God exists. The late Isaac Asimov said, “…I don’t have the evidence to prove God doesn’t exist, but I so strongly suspect he doesn’t that I don’t want to waste my time.” Since both he and Carl Sagan are now in the Hadean world, they now know God does indeed exist! The “agnostic” says he has been unable to “detect” God, and suggests people should quit searching. The “skeptic” is described in the dictionary as one who holds, “true knowledge…is uncertain, and has doubts concerning basic religious principles”; thus, he doubts there is a God. The skeptic is not prepared to accept anything which cannot be verified by using the five senses [touch, hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting]. The “infidel” not only refuses to believe in God, but is also intolerant of, and actively opposes, those who do. As we watch the efforts of some in our nation to oppose God, His Word, and His followers, the infidel is at work today. Rarely does this column contain so few scriptures; however, today’s column introduces an in-depth study of God’s existence and of the truth that the Bible is indeed the only Book authored by and approved by Him. To develop the faith in God that leads to obedience, come, study with the church of Christ [meeting at 234 Chapel Dr.], as we search the scriptures! BY THOM MOLLOHAN Just what DOES the Bible mean by the word, “confess”? And why is it important and even necessary for us to have learned how to confess in a Biblical sense? As far as how the word itself goes (as used in the Bible), the word “confess” is a Germanic/English rendering of two Latin roots... “con-” (meaning “with”) and “fess” (meaning to “say”); the Greek word from which this comes is “homologeo” which literally means “same word” and should usually be translated as to “acknowledge” or “agree with”. While it’s entirely possible that you don’t really care about the ins and outs of translations, etc., you very likely DO care about the bottom line. The word translated in the Bible as “confess” involves an utterance of the mouth and outward acknowledgement of truth. It means, in a spiritual sense, to speak out. But what is it that one is speaking out? Well, for starters, saying “I’m sorry” is not confession, nor is asking for forgiveness. These things might be attached to confession, but they are not confession in of themselves. For me to confess, I must openly agree with god about Who God is, and about my sinful nature. It means to declare that God is really God, and is the rightful Lord of both the world and of my life. “...If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved” (Romans 10:9-10). Moreover, confession candidly admits the wrongs that I have done, the hurts that I have contrived, and the sin that I have committed. I do not rationalize these things, nor do I excuse them. I simply own up to what I’ve done and what I’ve said, taking responsibility for them. Although this doesn’t necessarily mean airing all the details of our dirty laundry, it does mean that we no longer deny the corruption within our fallen hearts, that we “fess up” to God in prayer, and even learn the art of admitting our faults and failures to those we’ve hurt or to whom we are accountable. And as bad a rap as confession gets, we would be making a terrible mistake to dismiss it as archaic or irrelevant, and hence miss out on its Thom Mollohan blessing. In a purely pragmatic sense, confession allows me to address destructive habits and attitudes that may characterize my own life and sets the stage for both change and release from cycles of failure and injustice towards others. Furthermore, confession opens the door to the restoring of relationships that have suffered because of the wrong I may have said and done. But MOST importantly, confession is a manifestation of my openness to God’s grace when I admit that I have broken His divine commandments and violated His trust (whether outwardly and obviously, or secretly in the hidden places of my heart and mind). Through confession, I make no excuses for my sin and instead throw myself on the mercy of the highest court of all: the Judge Who eternally rules. In confessing my sin to Him, I allow His forgiveness to wash me and make me new. “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). Real confession cannot happen only inside your mind or heart but must ultimately somehow be articulated by the mouth… largely because speaking the truth realigns the direction of one’s heart and will with that of the Father’s. But even so, there isn’t any sort of “script” to this... each example of “confession” in the Scriptures has its own flavor and is unique to each individual that Jesus called to Himself. Consider Peter who fell at Jesus feet and confessed, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” (Luke 5:8) and then confessed to Jesus that He was indeed, “the Christ of God” (Luke 9:20 NIV). Or Zaccheaus who said to Him, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount” (Luke 19:8 NIV). Or the sinful woman of Luke 7 who stood behind Jesus at a Pharisee’s home and was so choked up by His accepting her in spite of her past that she could only weep and then wipe His feet with her tears in heart-wrenching humility. Or even the Samaritan woman of John 4 who also ultimately agreed with the Lord when she appealed to her fellow villagers to, “Come, see a Man Who told me everthing I ever did.” Even the thief on the cross beside Jesus “confessed” when he recognized the Lord of lords and King of kings for Who He is, even as Jesus hung dying on the cross of Calvary. “One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at Him: ‘Aren’t You the Christ? Save Yourself and us!’ But the other criminal rebuked him. ‘Don’t you fear God,’ he said, ‘since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve, but this man has done nothing wrong.’ Then he said, ‘Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom’. Jesus answered him, ‘I tell you the truth, today you will be with Me in paradise’” (Luke 23:39-42 - emphasis mine). Again, confession of sin is NOT the same things as saying “I’m sorry” and, of course, any efforts on our part to justify or excuse our sin would be extremely offensive to Him. It’s interesting to note, by the way, that our word for “apology” comes from “apologia” which means “defense” and refers to a plea in which one attempts to clear oneself of guilt. Be that as it may, the Biblical principle is this: inasmuch as we defend or rationalize sin, seeking to justify ourselves, we will fail and fall short of God’s glory. But, in contrast, when we “confess”, we agree with God that He is holy and just, and that we are, in fact, “poor in spirit”. When we can bring ourselves to do this, we can then expect Him to deliver on His promise to give us the “kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). So let us each then learn to pray honestly to the One Who knows our hearts anyway. And let us also seize the joy and victory He intends for those “who shall confess Jesus before Men, for Jesus will also confess us before the Father Who is in heaven” (from Matthew 10:32).

Our ladies refuse to go with us anymore because the event is usually a knockdown-drag-out affair. This year was probably the worst of any of our green carpet contests. We usually pair-up according to ages for the first round, which means that Keithen and Jeshua are together. It seems we never learn. Reportedly, it was Keithen who “started playing mind games” with Jesh when it was his turn, but Jesh played hard ball back as he reciprocated the mindgames strategy. On hole eighteen, Keithen wanted a re-putt claiming that Jesh had timed a cough with his tee stroke, and, then, for whatever reason, Keithen turned to Ron and me for an intermediary interpretation. When we did not take Keithen’s side, the competitive intensity and verbal volume increased that much more among us. Keithen kept claiming, “No one is listening to the voice of reason!” It was at that point I happened to see the older gentleman clerk in the putt-putt shack peer cautiously around the corner to see what was going on. A family of three stood close by obviously snickering at our inter-family conflagration. Keithen said he was quitting and would ride the bus back to the condo. But, he suddenly reappeared as we were about to begin round two. He harassed Jamin who Ron Branch was readied to putt, but to no avail. Ron made a hurried trip back to the truck to get his camera so he could video Keithen’s meltdown. But, in the meantime, Micaiah launched into a tirade about how his longawaited good time with the brothers was being ruined over some silly efforts to play mind games on each other. The only one to actually keep his mental and emotional wits over the mind games matter was Jamin, who had won the previous year’s tourney and was in position to repeat. It is absolutely uncanny how certain influences on the mind affect attitude and performance, and, if there is anyone who knows how true it is and who utilizes it the most, it is the devil. Frank Peretti wrote a Christian novel entitled “This Present Darkness,” in which portrayals of the spiritual battles between good and evil are manifested in the temporal. A powerful image Peretti created was that of a demon with his finger stirring up evil intentions in the brain of a certain individual. If the devil can move us to start thinking and dwelling on matters contrary to the expected, expressed, and manifested truths and principles of the Word of God, then there is that strong probability that the mind will convince the intentions of the heart to act on the thought and to carry it through. People can object to this all they want, but so much of the evils, turmoil, upsets, and emotional dysfunction in the lives of people and life in general are because people act out the minds games played on them. The devil played mind games with Eve, and it worked. The devil played mind games with Judas, and it worked. The devil tried to play mind games on Jesus Christ, but it did not work because the Lord was filled with the influence and power of the Word of God, which serves as an example of inspiration for us. As a matter of fact, the Apostle Paul emphasized the importance of not letting the devil play mind games on us “lest your minds should be corrupted.” Paul said that we should keep our minds on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of a good report, virtue, and praise. “Think on these things,” Paul instructed so we will manifest the good of God for his honor and glory. We finally got settled down. Micaiah had high score. Jamin did not repeat. Ron putted soso. Keithen did not recoup from the penalty we gave him. Jesh made a good run. The old champ became the current champ. Friday, September 2, 2011 When The Going Gets Tough! In the last ten years our nation has been under a tremendous amount of stress from every side. Wars, Tsunamis, Earthquakes, Food Wars, Oil price increases and much, much more. Many have lost their jobs while others are still losing their minds. Somebody said that when the going gets tough, it’s tough to get going. But God is faithful. Consider the following scenario. During the time when the Israelites were being set free from Egypt’s bondage and into the wilderness experience, notice the big task Moses had ahead of him. I wonder if he ever stressed about it. Who knows what Moses was thinking, processing though his mind or feeling, but here is the deal, leading two to three million people through the wilderness was no easy task. According to the Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1500 tons of food each day. Do you know that to bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each at least a mile long, would be required! They needed firewood for cooking the food. This would take 4,000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for one day. Alex Colon And just think, they were forty years in transit – in the desert, so what about water? If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each day and a freight train with tank cars, 1800 miles long, just to bring water! And if that is not enough, they had to get across the Red Sea at night. Now, if they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35 days and nights getting through. So there had to be a space in the Red Sea, three miles wide so that they could walk 5,000 abreast to get over in one night. But then, there is another problem; each time they camped at the end of the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles long. Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt? I doubt it! But who knows, maybe this is one of the reasons why he came up with excuses when God called him to be the deliverer of Israel. You see, Moses had to believe God and in God’s love for Israel. God took care of these things for him. From the needs standpoint, it was a ‘stress free’ task for Moses. The stress was in dealing with the religious crowd – that was it! Think about that! Now, with all this in mind, can I ask you a question? Do you think God has any problem taking care of all your needs? I don’t think so! He promised that My God will supply all your need, according to His riches in glory, thought Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19). Sometimes our Christian walk seems about as difficult (or worse in some cases) as Moses’ walk through the wilderness. It is important to keep in mind the truth that when the road you are traveling on seems difficult at best, just remember to give it to God, rest in His love, rely on His peace and allow Him to do his best. When the going gets tough God is faithful to love you from His ample supply of love and resources to keep you going abundantly successful in Him! Make it a Great Day! Are you more vocal about politics than Christianity? I just finished a conversation which concluded on the note it’s rather difficult these days to be a totally informed Democrat or Republican. Perhaps this doesn’t apply to you; either that or you religiously vote the “Party Line” regardless of what any candidate says, or doesn’t say. Though your Party bosses don’t necessarily know you personally, that’s okay; it’s your steadfastness and faithfulness in voting the prescribed ticket that matters most to them. Could it be you’re like so many of our fellow Americans — i.e., more strident and vocal about your political convictions than about your Christianity? Just how Christ-oriented are you? Notice that I’m now mixing politics and religion, a virtual taboo in polite company. Polite company aside, today certain topics are considered off-limits due Thomas Johnson to the presumed need to be “politically correct.” Except for having one’s tongue cut out, or death itself, no greater muzzle exists than this, which effectively militates against followers of Christ publicly advocating for the Gospel and a Christian lifestyle. Why does our society so disparage Jesus?!? This compels me to ask: is ours truly a “Christian” nation?

If America is living up to your expectations, allow me to suggest we’ve also been living in a time when what was once a stellar public education system has been “dummied-down” so as to be easier, and more accommodating to students and parents. Johnny’s and Susie’s skill levels in “readin, ritin, and rithmetic” may be deplorable, but who cares?!? Their parents don’t! They probably don’t want their children to flunk out, but neither do parents necessarily accept responsibility for their offspring’s behavior in class, or for them doing their homework and otherwise upholding their end of the learning arrangement! And, by the way— education IS a two-way street: it’s the teacher’s responsibility to educate the students; this they do, and admirably so. The student’s job is to learn, and it’s up to Mom and Dad to hold their children accountable. Unfortunately, if the parents don’t care everything falls back on the teacher. “Hat’s off”—to our valiant and diligent teachers: “masters” in the education profession; simultaneously compelled to be surrogate parents, counselors, and confidantes on the side. From a moral and ethical standpoint, there is ample evidence to indicate America is on a “slippery slope” of its own making—and has been for some time. Here, again, politics and politicians, with their liberal and self-serving agendas, have contributed to this morass. Did I say that? My, my, my: how very politically in-correct of me! What’s worse, we helped put them there: we believed what they told us—their stories, half- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Here we are, still waiting for those goodies. Meanwhile, there’s a new batch of “sugar daddies” on deck, new blood with fresh talk of what they’ll do and change—IF they are elected. Many people desperately, and hopelessly, long for more from Washington than they should, more than any politician or cluster of politicians can ever possibly deliver. The Bible I read tells me Christians are to stand up for Jesus, and that faith in the Lord is the essence of “victory” over our sins and our wants. Nowhere does it say we are to bow down before any politician— or face East, and five times every day pray to Washington! The Psalmist knew where to look for help— up; and he knew the source of that help—the Lord (121:1). Has another human being recently taken over for Almighty God? Has God died, and left some bureaucrat to administer aid and sustenance in His stead? No, no—1,000 times ... NO! Politicians tell us what they think we want to hear. Neither will the President, other higherups, the Military, and/or the secular media be 100 percent forthcoming; as a general rule, we hear ONLY what they want us to know. God is different: He wants us to know Him and everything about Him; ergo, the Bible and the Holy Spirit to facilitate our learning more (Jn. 8:32). He is truth and power, all-in-one, such that we can live in and overcome the world. Become an “over-comer” thru Jesus, The Way.

MERCERVILLE, Ohio — Visiting Meigs made quite a rally, but the South Gallia volleyball team came up with a big fifth game en route to a thrilling 25-12, 25-15, 2125, 19-25, 15-8 triumph Wednesday night during a non-conference matchup in Gallia County. The host Lady Rebels (3-0) came out blazing, taking the first two games by a sizable 22-point difference. The Lady Marauders (1-1), however, countered with four and six point wins to even the match at two — setting up a decisive fifth game. In that contest, SGHS found its earlier rhythm and rolled to a sevenpoint decision — allowing the Lady Rebs to stay unbeaten this fall. The game was evenlymatched in the statistical categories. South Gallia recorded 45 kills and 19 blocks at the net, while Meigs had 47 kills and seven blocks in the setback. The Lady Rebels did gain an 11-2 edge in service aces. Meghan Caldwell led the hosts with 14 service points, 12 kills and eight blocks, while Chandra Canaday added 14 points, six kills and four blocks to the winning cause. Canaday also had a team-best five aces, and Christina Howell added 14 points and two aces.

RV, SG hosting Week 2 games; GA hits the road A full slate of football comes to the Ohio Valley Publishing area this weekend, as all nine local programs will battle it out in Week 2 contests both at home and abroad. Point Pleasant, Wahama and South Gallia will make their respective home debuts against Tolsia, Trimble and Southern, while River Valley welcomes Symmes Valley in a battle of unbeatens. Gallia Academy travels to Pataskala for a nonconference matchup with Licking Heights, while Eastern heads to Miller for the 2011 TVC Hocking opener for both programs. Meigs travels down river to Fairland in battle of 0-1 teams. The lone Saturday contest is between Hannan and Hundred, as the Wildcats trek nearly five hours to Wetzel County for a 1 p.m. kickoff. Here’s a brief look at the individual matchups. ing to avoid starting the season 0-2 for the fifth consecutive season. The Rebels — who defeated Sciotoville East last Friday by a 37-18 margin — will be playing their first home game of the season, while the Tornadoes will be making their road debut. Southern has two wins against South Gallia over the past nine seasons — at South Gallia in 2009 (28-6) and at Southern in 2004 (12-9). The series is tied a seven games apiece all-time, with South Gallia winning last season at Southern by an 8-6 score. The Rebels had 334 yards of total offense last weekend, with a good balance between the run (166 yards) and pass (168 yards). South Gallia also scored a defensive touchdown during last week’s win. Southern compiled 206 yards of total offense last week, while allowing 370 yards. The Tornadoes were penalized just three times for 25 yards in last week’s game. SOUTHERN SOUTH GALLIA at SYMMES VALLEY at RIVER VALLEY One team is looking for its first win, while the other team is looking to move to 2-0 for the first time since 2007. Southern (0-1) fell in its home opener last week to Symmes Valley by a score of 34-21. The Tornadoes will be look- A pair of unbeatens will look to continue that trend Friday night when Symmes Valley ventures to Raider Field for a Week 2 non-conference matchup with host River Valley. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. The Raiders (1-0) BY BRYAN WALTERS AND SARAH HAWLEY shook off seven turnovers and a minus-two performance in Week 1 for a hard-fought 13-12 victory over Federal Hocking. It was also the first home win for RVHS (non-forfeit) since Week 10 of the 2008 camapign. The Vikings (1-0), conversely, will be making their second consecutive road appearance after a successful 34-21 trip last weekend at Southern. SVHS led 34-7 early in the fourth and racked up 370 yards of total offense while winning their fifth straight decision over the Tornadoes. The Vikings generated 310 rushing yards on 48 carries last week, which included a trio of backs with over 60 yards apiece. D.J. Miller had two TDs and 127 yards on 14 carries, while Alec Herrell added 64 yards on 10 totes. Quarterback Cody Myers was 4-of-6 passing for 60 yards and a touchdown, and Myers added 90 rushing yards on 14 tries. Austin Baldwin had the lone TD catch and was one of four wideouts to catch a pass. SVHS has made the playoffs the last two seasons and a total of six times under 11th-year frontman Rusty Webb, who owns a 67-41 alltime mark at the school. First-year Raiders coach Jerrod Sparling, now 1-0 in his varsity career, will look for the first 2-0 start at RVHS since the 2003 season, when RVHS won five in a row en route to a 6-4 record. The Silver and Black haven’t won two straight since defeating Eastern (14-0) and Waterford (27-7) in weeks 4 and 5 of the 2008 campaign. That was also the last time the Raiders won multiple home games in the same season. GALLIA ACADEMY at LICKING HEIGHTS New foes. Similar backgrounds. A pair of Week 1 victims coming off identical 7-3 campaigns last year will square off Friday night in Pataskala when Gallia Academy travels two-plus hours for a Week 2 non-conference matchup with Licking Heights. It is believed to be the first-ever encounter between the Blue Devils (0-1) and host Hornets (0-1) on the gridiron. The Maroon and Gold are a Division II, Region 7 program that hails from the Mid-State League Cardinal Division near Columbus. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. GAHS is coming off a heartbreaking 15-10 setback to Athens last week, a game in which the Blue Devils led 10-0 midway through the third quarter See FOOTBALL, A9 MASON, W.Va. — Bobby Oliver of Point Pleasant, W.Va., has taken the lead in the Riverside Senior Men’s Golf League with four weeks remaining. Oliver’s total of 141.0 points leads second placed Charlie Hargraves with his 134.0 total. Last week’s leader, Phil Hill, is now in third place with his 130.0 point total.

The review will look at compliance across the university, with an emphasis on athletics, research, the medical center including Ohio State hospitals, and student financial aid. The review will also compare Ohio State’s compliance programs — meaning how departments follow rules and regulations that apply to them — with other universities and companies. Finally, the companies will recommend a new structure for Ohio State to follow. “It’s about integrity and about having the best system in the country looking at compliance in all those areas,” said Geoff Chatas, the university’s chief financial officer. Two firms, both outside Ohio, are being recommended by Chatas. The first, Protiviti Inc. of Menlo Park, Calif., is a global business and risk consulting firm that fit the university’s needs for a compliance review, Chatas said. The second, New Yorkbased law firm Dewey and LeBoeuf, will assist with legal issues arising from the review, Chatas said. “We wanted the best firms,” he said, while noting that Protiviti has a major Cincinnati office. Chatas said Ohio State already has strong compliance programs in individual departments. But he said he was surprised there wasn’t a national model of a centralized compliance program the university could look to. Trustees are likely to approve the hiring next week. The review comes as Ohio State tries to recover from a rules scandal that cost former coach Jim Tressel his job and led to the departure of quarterback Terrelle Pryor. The review is about much more than the athletics department, said trustee Robert Schottenstein, chairman of the trustees’ audit committee. “We’ve also underscored we believe this was an opportunity for Ohio State to take a step forward in an area where historically maybe that wasn’t important, or wasn’t an issue,” Schottenstein, CEO and president of M/I Homes Inc., said Tuesday. Trustees announced in June the university would review all compliance practices, not just those in the athletic department. The university is still waiting the results of the NCAA investigation into the scandal, which started with players improperly trading football memorabilia for discounted tattoos and cash in violation of university and NCAA rules. Later, it was learned that Tressel knew of the violations but failed to report them as required by his contract. Recharged and now rich, QB Vick ready for pressure PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Michael Vick shared some laughs, and offered up an occasional smile. But for the most part, his Tuesday press conference announcing his new contract was handled the same way he’s handled everything since he landed in Philadelphia two years ago. All business. “The common goal is to bring that ring back to the city of Philadelphia. That’s why we play,” Vick said. “That’s what we’re all working for. As a competitor, I don’t feel my career will be complete without that.” And so begins the next phase in one of the league’s more remarkable comeback stories. With the business of his new, six-year, $100 million contract out of the way, it’s time for Vick and the rest of the star-laden Eagles to shoot for that elusive Super Bowl title. The Eagles won the 1960 NFL championship, but have been to just two Super Bowls since, losing both. Not that there’s any pressure or anything. “It’s a lot of money, how ever you look at it,” Vick said. “Obviously, it’s going to create a lot of demands. I know what comes along with it, and I know how to handle it.” Vick, 31, became the Eagles’ backup quarterback when they traded Donovan McNabb to the Washington Redskins after the 2009 season, and he became the starter last September after replacing an injured Kevin Kolb. He was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year in 2010 after winning eight of 11 starts, throwing a career-high 21 touchdown passes and rushing for nine more. But despite engineering a memorable 38-31 comeback win over the New York Giants that ultimately led to the NFC East title in December, Vick and the Eagles were dumped at home a month later in the playoffs by the Green Bay Packers, 2116, in the wild-card round. But this year, knowing he’ll open the season as the starter, and knowing he has perhaps the most name-heavy roster in the league on his side, it appears like it’s Super Bowl or bust. Which is why coach Andy Reid and Co. are more than happy to see the quarterback happy. “This is a great story all the way through,” Reid said. “This is really what America’s all about. Second chance and Mike took full advantage of that. And then when he was given a second chance to start in the National Football League, he took full advantage of that and turned it into this.” And the next stop — after a detour vs. the New York Jets in the preseason finale on Thursday — will be a week from Sunday in St. Louis, where Vick will make his first openingday start in five years vs. the Rams. “(I) go back in time and think about how hard it’s been over the last two years,” he said. “But (despite) the sacrifices I had to make and what I had to give up, it’s been all worth it.” But, in the end, will he be worth the money? The Eagles retained his rights by signing him to a oneyear, $16 million franchise tag in the offseason, but his new contract now runs through 2016. It’s a bold statement for a franchise that has had its share of big-name quarterbacks in the past, only to walk away empty handed. It’s clear, though, they see something different this time around. “I think it’s really a tribute to him more than us,” Reid said, “and how he’s come back and the effort that he’s put forth.” Eagles president Joe Banner concurs. “When you give a player a contract, you’re betting on the future, and you’re using the evidence of what he’s done to that point to evaluate your future projection,” he said. “And if we didn’t think Michael was somebody capable of leading this team to a Super Bowl, we never would have given him that contract. “Now, our judgment has to be right, and he has to get on the field and prove that. But we wouldn’t be making this type of investment if we didn’t view him that way.” Vick’s deal makes him the third-highest-paid player in the NFL, behind only New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning. And the former No. 1 overall pick who served 19 months in a federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., on felony dogfighting charges before joining the Eagles, is now the first player in NFL history to sign more than one $100 million contract in his career. On Dec. 23, 2004, with the Falcons on their way to the NFC Championship game, where they lost to the Eagles, Vick signed a 10-year deal worth $130 million. But he played only 32 games under that deal before legal problems derailed his career. “I’ve learned ... don’t take anything for granted,” Vick said. “I did that at one point when I had the big contract in Atlanta. And I think that will definitely help me now in understanding what’s most important and how to move forward in my life.” Whether that life includes a Super Bowl title remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure. As much talent as this roster has, and as much hype as it’s caused, the Eagles will be prepared for anything, win, lose, or draw. “You don’t give out contracts this size and have no fear. There are too many things in life,” Banner said. “You can have a car accident. There is always fear when you have contracts of this magnitude because the impact of being wrong is so huge.” Football East Shade River Stadium. Miller (0-1, 0-1 TVC Hocking), on the other hand, was narrowly defeated at Waterford in the TVC Hocking opener for both clubs. The Wildcats held on for the 13-12 victory. The Falcons scored a rushing touchdown and a touchdown on a blocked punt, which was recovered in the end zone. Miller accumulated 156 yards of total offense a week ago while surrendering just 134 yards defensively. The Eagles compiled 188 yards of total offense last week while allowing 436 yards defensively. Eastern has won the last four meetings between these two schools, including last year’s contest by a 32-0 margin, and the 2009 game at Miller by a 3519 score. during the week one loss. Meigs won last year’s contest by a 13-6 margin. Fairland’s last win came at home in 2009 by a 3427 score, while Meigs last won at Fairland in 2005 by a 34-3 score. WAHAMA team. The White Falcons — coming off a 10-0 regular season in which they finished as Class A runner up to Wheeling Central Catholic — will have a 47-strong roster headed into the season opener this weekendt. It will also mark the start of the 17th season for WHS under head coach Ed Cromley. 3-7 last year, will be making its 2011 home debut. These two teams last met in the 2008 season finale, which resulted in a 22-14 Hornets win in Ashton. Hundred has a 27deep roster for head coach Rex Rush, while Keith Taylor now has 32 out for the 2011 version of the Wildcats. The Hornets surrendered 40 points by halftime last week and also lost star tailback Chris Varner to an ankle injury, although he may be cleared to play this weekend. Quarterback Dylan Murphy had a 7-yard scoring run last Friday, as did Tyler Opyoke with a 21-yard scamper late in the contest. Murphy also completed four passes for 28 yards, while Thomas Preston led the rushing and receiving attacks with 115 yards and 13 yards, respectively. From Page A8 at Memorial Field. The Hornets, on the other hand, suffered a 5121 setback in their home opener against Watkins Memorial last weekend in Licking County. LHHS trailed 30-0 and had only 67 yards at halftime before finding its groove late. Junior quarterback Darius Strickland went 9-of-16 passing for 166 yards in the loss, which included one TD pass to Cameron Tennyson. Strickland also led the Hornets with 39 rushing yards, while A.J. Mitchell and Ronnie Dawson each added a rushing score. Coach Darren Waters enters his seventh season with the Licking Heights program, owning a 40-23 overall mark during that time. The Hornets run a spread offense and a 4-4 defense, and also have a varsity roster of 59strong. The Blue Devils go only 39-deep on their varsity roster. GAHS is under Mike Eddy for a third season, which has resulted in a 9-12 record during that brief tenure. Licking Heights last made the playoffs in 2007, which is also the last time the Hornets played an SEOAL opponent. LHHS defeated Portsmouth in a D-4, Region 15 playoff opener by a 42-34 margin. Gallia Academy hasn’t lost consecutive games since weeks 8 and 9 of the 2009 campaign. EASTERN at MILLER Two teams looking for their first win of the season will come face to face at Miller High School on Friday night, as Eastern will open its 2011 TVC Hocking schedule against Miller. The Eagles (0-1) fell to Alexander 41-6 last Friday in the home opener at MEIGS at FAIRLAND The road team has won the past five meetings between Fairland and Meigs, something the Marauders hope to change on Friday night. Neither team had much success in their respective openers last weekend, as both squads dropped decisions by a minimum of 30 points. With both the host Dragons and visiting Marauders looking for their first win of the 2010 campaign this Friday night, expect both squads to look a lot more focused in Week 2. Meigs was defeated by Coal Grove 43-7 and Fairland fell to Portsmouth West by a score of 43-13. Fairland (0-1) had a total of 225 yards of offense while allowing 465. Fairland trailed 21-7 at the half. The Marauders (0-1), on the other hand, found themselves down 28-0 early in the second quarter at Coal Grove before finally cracking the scoreboard. Meigs had 220 yards of total offense while allowing 432 yards TOLSIA at POINT PLEASANT There’s a first time for everything. Even for the number one. For the only time in program history, Point Pleasant enters the 2011 gridiron campaign ranked No. 1 in the preseason Class AA polls. The only way to make that ranking stick is to keep on winning, and extra motivation won’t be hard for the Big Blacks to find this week as they host Tolsia in a Week 2 clash. Point Pleasant will be making its season debut after a Week 1 bye, and the hosts will also be making their Cardinal Conference debut against the Rebels (0-1) — who lost their Cardinal Conference opener to Scott last weekend by a 48-19 margin. The Big Blacks — who bring back 15 starters and 42 returnees from a 7-4 playoff squad last fall — suffered a 28-21 upset in Fort Gay last year in the Week 2 matchup, which was also Point’s season opener in 2010. Tolsia was coming off a 53-0 loss to Magnolia last year. The Rebels produced 309 yards of total offense last week against the Skyhawks, as senior quarterback Jacob Copley threw for 3 first-half touchdowns. Tolsia trailed 16-13 after one quarter and 30-19 at the intermission, but went scoreless in the second half. The Big Blacks — who own a 66-strong roster — begin their chase for a school-record fourth straight playoff appearance this Friday at 7:30 p.m. TRIMBLE at The defending TVC Champion and state runner-up Wahama football team will open its 2011 season on Friday evening as they host Trimble for the first time as a member of the TVC Hocking division at Bachtel Stadium in Mason, W.Va. The Tomcats (0-1) — coming off a 42-6 loss to Nelsonville-York — will be looking to return to the top of the TVC Hocking after Wahama took the title last year. Trimble has also won five league titles in the last 11 years, but the White Falcons took the top spot as a first year league member during the 2010 season. The series is tied alltime 2-2 in the head-tohead matchups. Wahama won last season by a 14-6 margin, with Trimble’s last victory coming in 2005 by a 34-19 score. The Tomcats will be without tailback Tyler Dyla, a three-time Division VI district player of the year, who was a senior on last season’s HANNAN at HUNDRED Two winless teams will square off Saturday in an attempt to pick up that first triumph when Hannan travels to Wetzel County for a Week 2 nonconference matchup at host Hundred. Kickoff at Cosgray Field is at 1 p.m. The Wildcats (0-1) had their losing skid extended to 23 straight last weekend following a 16-0 home setback to Valley Fayette, while the Hornets (0-1) dropped a 67-12 road decision to Notre Dame in Clarksburg.

In addition, BREC operators are required to pass the bucket course yearly to maintain employment at the cooperative. “The course is designed to evaluate each lineman on the ability to properly rescue an injured and/or stranded lineman,” stated Ken Kiser, Manager of Engineering and Safety for BREC. “After the rescue, the linemen are to perform the proper CPR techniques. All of this is timed and should be performed in less than four minutes,” Kiser explained. As part of the annual training course, each lineman must climb a pole and rescue a 150pound training mannequin that is hanging from the utility pole. The lineman must then secure the mannequin using ropes and clips and safely bring him back to the ground The bucket rescue is very similar, and the requirement is to get the training mannequin out of the bucket safely by using the lower controls. “A lineman can never know what may happen in the field,” stated Joe Skidmore, Line Supervisor for BREC. “This type of training allows each of our linemen to gain the skills and confidence it takes to successfully help a fellow lineman if the need ever arises,” says Skidmore. BREC always places Parole board rejects mercy for condemned Ohio man COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Parole Board has recommended against mercy for a condemned man scheduled to die this month for stabbing a Cleveland woman to death in 1986. The board ruled unanimously Thursday that the horrific nature of Billy Slagle's crime outweighed the effects of his chaotic childhood and young age at the time. The 42-year-old Slagle was sentenced to death for killing neighbor Mari Anne Pope in Cleveland. His attorneys said clemency was justified because Slagle was only 18 when he committed the crime and was a chronic alcoholic with a chaotic upbringing. The state argued that the jury and several appeals courts had heard and rejected those arguments. The final decision is up to Gov. John Kasich. Slagle also has an appeal pending in federal court. Private group starts search for missing Ohio woman FAIRFIELD, Ohio (AP) — The search for a southwest Ohio woman missing for almost three weeks is resuming with help from a private group involved in high-profile disappearances. The Texas EquuSearch Mounted Search and Recovery Team is holding its first official search Thursday for Katelyn Markham. The group headed by Tim Miller has been involved in several missing person cases, including the unsolved 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Markham's parents requested that EquuSearch help look for the 22-year-old art student last seen Aug. 13 in Fairfield. Her fiance reported her missing the next day. A $25,000 reward has been offered for information in Markham's disappearance. Fairfield police said they have not ruled out foul play.

GREG BIFFLE The former Nationwide and Trucks Series champion is fading from Chase contention fast, with consecutive runs of 31st, 20th and 31st all but sinking his playoff hopes. Compiled and written by Matt Taliaferro. Follow Matt on Twitter @MattTaliaferro or email at Matt.Taliaferro@AthlonSports.com Jimmie Johnson As others come and go, the five-time champion remains. J.J. and the boys parlay a fourth-place run at Bristol into a tie atop the Sprint Cup standings with ... ... who looked very un-Rowdy at a track he’s owned the last two seasons. His 14th-place showing broke a three-race string of top-3 finishes. It’s difficult for a driver the caliber of Gordon to fly under the radar, but he seems to be doing just that. And judging by his post-race comments, he believes he let one get away at Bristol. An average finish of 1.75 over the last four races is no fluke. At the moment, Keselowski is giving everyone a run for their money. Just how long will this white-hot streak last? He’s not flashy, but Kenseth continues to get it done on the track. Locked into the Chase and with two wins-worth of bonus points, the 2003 champ is gearing up for another title run. There have been far too few backflips for Cousin Carl this season (only one), but word is he and the team are simply testing for the Chase. We’ll see ... If Gordon is flying below the radar, Newman is a stealth fighter that’s on it, but flying into the Chase undetected. A 16th at Watkins Glen is his only real hiccup in a couple of months. There’s quite a gap between the top seven and the rest of the field. Hamlin wins the award for “Best of the Rest,” but it’s still hard to figure this team out. Junior and the No. 88 team have been a ninth- to 16th-place bunch since mid-July. Amazingly, that’s been good enough to stay on the positive side of the Chase bubble. Can Harvick and his RCR team flip the switch? After consecutive 22nd-place stinkers, they need to. Fortunately for them, their Chase spot is guaranteed. As his teammate (Keselowski) has surged, Busch has slumped. Truex and crew chief Chad Johnstone are trending upward. They make for a sneaky Atlanta pick. Another driver trending upward and also capable of making noise at Atlanta. Smoke is going the wrong way fast. And he hasn’t appeared to hit rock bottom yet. Ambrose has a feel for Bristol, where he’s now notched three top-10 finishes in six career starts. AJ Allmendinger, Greg Biffle, Clint Bowyer, Mark Martin, Paul Menard ASP, Inc. Tracks on Tap SPRINT CUP SERIES Race: AdvoCare 500 Track: Atlanta Motor Speedway Location: Hampton, Ga. When: Sunday, Sept. 4 TV: ESPN (7:30 p.m. EST) Layout: 1.54-mile quad-oval Banking/Turns: 24 degrees Banking/Straightaways: 5 degrees 2010 Winner: Tony Stewart Crew Chief’s Take: “A strong engine package is a must at Atlanta, where high RPMs take their toll over the course of 500 miles. A worn track surface demands drivers take care of their tires and hit pit road anytime the opportunity presents itself. The track is low in grip, and any time that’s the case, the driver is going to have to be able to search for a groove that works, and he’s going to have to do that repeatedly if he’s going to win the race. A driver has plenty of options when he’s trying to pass. You’ve got to pay a lot of attention to tire wear.” The Summer of Brad Keselowski continues hot streak; wins Bristol. By MATT TALIAFERRO Athlon Sports Racing Editor Brad Keselowski had sniffed the lead all night long, but it wasn’t until the final restart of the Irwin Tools Bristol Night Race that he finally grabbed it and took it as his own. Keselowski shot past Martin Truex Jr. on the race’s final restart, and with clean air and a clean windshield, cruised to an impressive win at Bristol Motor Speedway’s famed night race. Keselowski — the hottest young phenom on the NASCAR Sprint Cup circuit — used crafty pit road work by himself and his No. 2 Penske Racing team to position himself on the outside of the front row beside Truex after the race was flagged for its final caution period. And when the green flag waved with 80 laps remaining, his four fresh tires propelled him past Truex’s two, and the Michigan native walked away with his third win of the season. “The Bristol Night Race!” An ecstatic Keselowski yelled from Victory Lane. “This is a race like Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon and Dale Earnhardt win — this is a race of champions! There’s races that pay more, there’s races that might have a little more prestige, but this is the coolest damn one of them all. We won today!” Truex, Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Jamie McMurray rounded out the top 5. Keselowski’s win is the latest result in a hot streak out of the second-year Cup driver that has witnessed runs of ninth, first, second, third and first in the last five races. In that time he has vaulted up the Sprint Cup championship rankings, from 23rd to 11th, just 21 points out of the final spot in the ASP, Inc. Brad Keselowski (bottom middle) and his Penske Racing team celebrate their thrid win of the 2011 Sprint Cup season at Bristol Motor Speedway. Chase for the Championship standings. Whether he catches Stewart in 10th is almost irrelevant, as Keselowski’s three wins all but guarantee him a wild card slot in NASCAR’s Chase playoff system. However, wild card entries into the Chase are not awarded bonus points for wins, so if Keselowski fails to qualify via points, his victories — and the 30 points he would receive for them — would be voided. “Twenty-one points is still a lot of points,” Keselowski said. “That means you’ve got to beat the guy (in 10th) by over 10 positions over the course of two races. Beating Tony Stewart by an average of 10 positions over two races — that’s going to be pretty tough to be honest. “I’m just happy with what we’ve done here tonight and I hate to look too far ahead, but having those (bonus) points for three wins would be huge in the Chase.” Keselowski’s unlikely run began with a ninth at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, his fifth top-10 run of the season. But a broken ankle sustained in a practice crash at Road Atlanta looked to derail his Chase hopes. However, Keselowski soldiered on, Harvick and Gordon can guarantee a top-10 spot with a finish at least of 40th; or 41st and at least one lap led; or 42nd and the most laps Two races remain before the complete 12-driver Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup is set, seedings and all. Here’s what we know: Five drivers have clinched a Chase spot in some fashion. Kyle Busch, five-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson, Matt Kenseth and Carl Edwards have locked up a top-10 spot. Kevin Harvick, on the strength of three 2011 victories, has clinched at least a wild card spot and will likely cement a top-10 berth in this Sunday’s AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway. Sunday’s race in Atlanta will likely further shore things up. The “magic number” for Atlanta is 49. Leaving AMS, any driver who has a 49-point lead over 11th-place in the standings clinches a top-10 Chase spot. Here are the clinch scenarios going into the weekend: Kevin Harvick and Jeff Gordon: Both 93 points ahead of 11th, notching a surprising win at Pocono just days later and followed that up with an even more unlikely runnerup showing at the road course in Watkins Glen. A third-place run at his home track in Michigan was his career best finish on the two-mile oval and preceded the unlikely Bristol triumph on Saturday. “Keselowski (and) those guys are on a roll right now,” the four-time champ Gordon said. “We all have to keep our eye on him. He’s strong. They’re to me as strong of a team out there as there is. “Since (the Road Atlanta crash) he’s been on fire. He proved to all of us he’s tougher than we thought. We always knew he was a great racecar driver.” Johnson’s fourth-place finish tied him atop the point standings with Kyle Busch, who had an uncharacteristically off night at Bristol, finishing 14th. The top 5 in the standings — Busch, Johnson, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Kevin Harvick — are all locked into the Chase. Denny Hamlin currently occupies the final wild card spot courtesy of his win at Michigan in June. led. Ryan Newman: Currently 73 points ahead of 11th, Newman can guarantee a top-10 Chase spot with a finish of at least 20th; or 21st and at least one lap led; or 22nd and the most laps led. Kurt Busch: Currently 60 points ahead of 11th, Busch can guarantee a top-10 spot with a finish of at least seventh; or eighth and at least one lap led; or ninth and the most laps led. Dale Earnhardt Jr. (39 points ahead of 11th) and Tony Stewart (21 points ahead): Can both mathematically reach that 49point threshold but would need to help. No specific finish guarantees a spot. NATIONWIDE SERIES Race: Great Clips 300 Track: Atlanta Motor Speedway When: Saturday, Sept. 3 TV: ESPN (7:30 p.m. EST) 2010 Winner: Jamie McMurray CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES Race: Atlanta 200 Track: Atlanta Motor Speedway When: Friday, Sept. 2 TV: SPEED (8:00 p.m. EST) March Winner: Kevin Harvick Classic Moments Atlanta Motor Speedway The 1992 Hooters 500 has been called the greatest race ever by many long-time fans and participants of the sport. Richard Petty’s last race and Jeff Gordon’s first, this season-ending event sees six drivers enter who are still mathematically eligible for the title. Championship contenders Davey Allison (crash) and Kyle Petty (engine) are forced out of contention, leaving Bill Elliott and Alan Kulwicki to settle the standings. Kulwicki, in his under-funded, self-owned Hooters “Underbird,” uses crafty strategy that ensures he leads one more lap than Elliott (103 to 102). Although Elliott wins the race, Kulwicki’s 10-point bonus for leading the most laps enables him to win the championship battle by a scant 10 points over Elliott after having trailed by 278 points with six races remaining. Athlon Fantasy Stall Looking at Checkers: Kurt Busch, with two wins and three top 10s in the last four AMS races. Pretty Solid Pick: It’s officially time to jump on the Brad Keselowski bandwagon. Good Sleeper Pick: Marcos Ambrose has 11th- and 10th-place runs in his last two visits. Runs on Seven Cylinders: Surprisingly, Joey Logano hasn’t taken to a track where JGR has traditionally been very good. Insider Tip: Ambrose, Denny Hamlin, Paul Menard and David Ragan would like to notch another win to take the second wild card spot. Ambrose or Menard are capable of pulling the upset. ASP, Inc.
