Johnson led 124 of 200 laps and cruised home with an easy victory in Sunday's race, becoming just the fifth driver to sweep both races in PGcono in .a single season. It was· his fourth victory of the season and increased his points lead to 232 over teammate Jeff Gordon and 267 over Dale Earn· hardt Jr., who slipped a spot after completing only 52 laps before turn· ing the reins over to backup driver John Andretti.

For Instance, Jimmie Johnson has earned $3.4 million in purses so far this season - somewhere aound $1.5.rnillion of that actually belongs to him. The prize money comes from several dlf~ ferent sources, but mainly from the promoter of the race ~self.

Village Council Thursday followed the · Syracuse Board of Public Affairs by unanimously approving the new rate, · which will · be $14.50 a month for ll\J to 2,000 gallons of water.

To get the grants, the federal governnient requires the rates be increased. "The ·bottom line is po one wants .to increase th~ water bills," Chancey said. "But the truth of the matter is that the condition of the water tank gives us · no choice." If Syracuse does not replace the tank, the Environmental Protection Agency might simply order the village to replace it, or the EPA could order Syracuse to abandon its water system, and join with Pomeroy or Tupper's Plains.

STATE 'VIEW enders. E~mail notification provides valuable i11formation .to pa,rents N. Sunday,August8,2004 Star Miami Dolphin running back Ricky Williams has walked away from mitlions of .dollars. in part because of marijuana. Williams told the Miami Herald thai he smoked weed constantly and masked his· use by · consuming a substance called ·Extra Clean.' Nevertheles> . Williams · failed !hree drug test s administered hy the NFL. and finally decided to retire at age 27. citing his desire to continue "moking pot as one ' of the reasons. According to . the Department· of Health and Human Services. less than 2 percent of American youths had ever useu manjuana. back in the year J961.· Forty years later. !hat percentage had increased to an astounding 54'i'c. The simple ques·tion is: What dynamic has cfmngeu in Am~rica to accoun! fo r the dr<Jstic increase in !he consumption of marijuana"' The wa1ershecl event;· of course. was ,the rise of the anti-war mo\'emen! in the Bi!l O'Reilly late 1960s .. Smoking pot became the appetizer· for the Vietnam protest entree . The rock "orld immediately got involved. and an intoxica- ' tinn celebration was underway. Since tluu time. marijuana use, espedally among young people. has stead ily increased, and now about · 20% of high school seniors smoke pot,on a· regular basis.· lnierestingly. up until !992. marijuana use. was far more common among white .s than nunorny Americans. according to a study by the Natillllal Institutes of Health. But in the nineties. pot consump.tion - by African-American ·men and women between the , ages of 18 anu 29 increased '" 224%! The ten years between 1992 and 2002 coincide\! with the rise of the rap industry. Icons such as Snoop Dogg and Ludacris consistentl y glorified marijuana. and I believe their message fe ll on willing ears. A generation of Americans kidi;, of all colors, were (and continue to be) pounded by rhythms and lyrics encouraging a libertine lifestyle with · a heavy emphasis on drug use and exploitative sex. How could this not.take a toll '.' Anyway, Ricky Williams and millions of other young American's love their . pot, and are willing to make great sacrifices to consume it. Think about all the good Williams could have done with the money he was earning . Life in the National Football League is no easy venture, but athletic ability is a gift that should not be· discarded lig htly. The bigger picture is that marijuana use is now largely accepted by American society even irr the case of young people. This is a disaster for kids. Awash in drugs and alcohol, we are now a culture where children are ·exposed to intoxicating agents practically from the time they reach the age of reason (7 years) . And any "child who becomes involved with mind altering substances loses their childhood instantly. They are never the same. But how often do you hear the media spe~k. g_ut against substance consumption? It is winked at, eKcused , :and even . tacitly encouraged by many pundits and actl vists. That is the great change since 1962 .. Getting high is . no longer even an issue in many quarters- it is standard procedure. Ricky Williams should be the poster boy for the marijuana debate. The man obviously is seeking emotional comfort, and the prrce of that comfon is somewhere around $15 million dollars. You can't get much higher than that.

One of the saddest stories I ·can think of is ·t hose who do not take the time to register to vote. As Americans, voting is our fundamental right, one that many in other countries do not have and one we too regularly take for granted. I was at a convenience store on Election Day 1000. the ye4r of the last presidential election, and the yoL1ng man asked me if it was too late for . him to register to vote in .that election. I told him it was too !'ate for that particular election, but to register the next dav so he would be ready for ihe next year. I certainly hope he did. Unfortunately, there is a stereotype . surrounding Southern Ohio that we are uneducated, non-participants in elections·. I received a. disturbing call from a .new spaper in Cleveland asking why · some of the counties in the 17th District have low voter registration. The reporter preJ sented me with his theory for low voter turnout in Ol!r area: our people do not know how to vote because government teachers did not do a good job in educating our young people about the voting process. I strongly disagreed with hi s thesis, as I know by visiting the schools that most do an excellent job educating our children in all areas. even government processes. On the other hand, I had a hard time coming up with an excuse for why some of our counties had low o,:oter registratlon. Quite frankly, I don 't think there is a: good excuse - especially this year when Ohio will play such a pivotal role in the presidential election.

Da.le Jarrett and M~rk Martin appeared to be anything but contenders for the NASCAR Nextel Cup championship. But both have rallied in the last two months and hope to ·parlay that momentum into a position among the top I0 and a shot at the title . Under NASCAR's new system, only drivers in the top l 0 after 26 of 36 races will vie for the title, and there are six weeks left until that cutoff. That makes Sunday 's Brickyard 400 even more an immediate focus than usual for Jarrett and Martin. "All that matters to me is winning the Brickyard."' Martin said. "That would make up for all the heartbreak that we 'ye experienced this year. That would make a season.''

Jarrett won in 1996' and 1999 and has four top-five fin ishes in I 0 races at Indianapoli s Motor Speedway. '"I think this week can be huge for anybody in the eighth position through 15th," 'he said.

Jarrett's championship unit was slowly picked apart by other teams, leaving it without experience and the skills to keep up with technological advances. In a rebuilding effort, Jarrett hovered around t·he high teens in the point standings for most of this year before third-place finishes in Michigan and Chicago and a ninth two weeks ago in New Hampshire bolstered hi s bid for a title run , "We're going to have over .a I 0-position change 4nd that's pretty major, especially in this day when you haye as much competition as we have," he said. "If we ha12ren to not get in the top IO,)we know we're headed in the tight direction and that we can continue/a build the rest of this y~ar ~o get into a better position for next year." Jarrett sees Indianapoli s and the following races at Watkins Glen and Mic~i,gan as "attack tracks." "We may not be exactly what you'd look at as a 'top10 team up to this point , especially up to the first of June. but since that time we have become closer," he said. "I think we could be a very exciting team in those last l 0 races because of the success we've had at a number of those racetrack s. " Martin has six top- I Os including a second-place finish in 1998 at the Brickyard . He had seve n wins in 1998, but only five since. His victory two months ago in D<'lver snapped a 73-race drought. Slowly, he's worked hi s way up the stand ings. After Pocono. he declared himse lf a contender, and he considers himself one of the favorites at Indy. "Do I think we can go there and win? Yeah. we won Dover,'' he said. "We can win Indy because we weren't dominant by any means at Dover, but at the end of the race there wasn ' t anybody that could nm with us. That\ how I feel about Indy." True. but Martin also was helped by a 19-car pileup that knocked out some top drivers in Dover. Last . week in Pocono, problems encountered by Harvick. Kurt Busch and Bobby Labonte drew Martin considerably closer in the points race . The timing couldn't have been better for him and Jarrett ..

(AP) · Jamie McMurray signs ·contract extension INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - What comes around apparently goes around when it comes to courting drivers. Car owner Chip Ganassi made no secret last season of his pursuit of Tony Stewart, who had a year left on his COil· tract with Joe Gibbs Racing and ultimately signed a long-term extension to stay there. Now it appears Gibbs was interested in luring Jamie McMurray away from GanassL But Ganassi put a quick end to any potential deals, exercising an option earlier this week to keep McMurray in the No. 42 Dodge for the 2005 season. "I got tired of reading all the stories about people talking to Jamie and trying NASCAR driver M;;rk Martin races his car through . the third turn during an early lap of the Pennsylvania 500 at the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa., Sunday, Aug. 1, 2004.

INDIANAPOLIS - As a kid growing up in the same hometown as Rick Mears, there was no bigger goal for Kevin Harvick than someday racing · at · the · storied Indianapolis · Motor Speedway. Harvick could only hope he'd someday join Mears, a four-time Indianapolis 500 champion, on the list of Indy's winners. He did it last year, making his way to Victory Lane in NASCAR's Brickyard 400, The Indy victory m'ade Harvick the toast of the town back in Bakersfield, Calif., just as Mears had be_en so many years befnre. "Winning the Brickyard is the biggest thing I've done in . my career," Harvick said. "To know the aspirations I had as a kid, and to grow up and actually go to Indianapolis and win at the Brickyard. is probably almost unrealistic when you think about it "When you grow up and you want to do something, nine times out of l 0 you don· t get to go it that way. I'm pret- - - - - , .•. .. ty lucky to be able to do what I do and to bring back a lot of thoughts and dreams and things." His· return trip for Sunday's race couldn 't.come at a better time. The Brickyard was his only victory of last season, and he hasn't won since. ' His Richard Childress Racing team failed to fini sh a race last weekend for the first time in 58 events - his streak of consecutive finishes is the NASCAR record ·- and saw his position in the top I0 of the points ~ tanding s tall into serious jeopardy. · With just six races left before the chase for the championship begin s, Harvick is clinging to the IOt h spot in the standings and several drivers are within striking distance of taking the final playoff posi-tion away from him . "As far as we're concerned. what happened last weekend is well behind us," Harvick said. "All we can do now is try and win the Brick yard for the second time in a row and start a new streak." · If anyone can make it two in a row at Indy - no one has, although Jeff Gordon has three Brickyard victories it's Harvick.

He was born in Kings Mountain, N.C., and spent most of his early years shuffling w(th his sister, Patricia, back and forth from their mother to the homes of other families to foster homes. However, he gained a respect for country music and rock music from listening to his mother sing, ·and church music. As he grew and endured an abusive stepfather along with his mother going to pri son, he developed a habit for writing, and even pabbled itl old-school rap. Wayne said he once asked God why he and his family were put through such hard times, but he said later he realized that God was preparing him for hi s future. . His love of singers made him a huge fan of Alan Jackson and also of Steve Wariner and Ronnie Milsap. But it was a country singer closer to home that set him . on his true path. Jimmy reveals: "When I was in 12th grade. an inmate at the prison I later worked at came to our schoolas part of this "Think Smart" program - you know, 'Stay off drugs, don't be like me, think smart." He got up with his guitar and told a story and sang a country song he'd written. I looked around the auditorium, and he had everybody there in the palm of his hand. I thought. "That's it. That's exactly what T'm supposed to be doing." "He . really inspired me, Jimmy Wayne because I was searching. I knew I wanted to sing and I wanted to be the best I could be - I even wanted to be an opera singer at one point, but I wasn't sure what I needed to do.

NEW YORK (A P) There is no secret recipe for a happy family, but psychologist and social scientist David Niven says there are several - · OK, 100 - ingredients that. help create the framework for a harmonious household. It 's important for family members to listen to each other, avoid comparisons ahd to be punctual - · all logical and fairly easy things to do, he says. The goal is to create an atmosphere of good will and encourage mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. and even ,grand- . parent s, aunts, uncles and cousins to genuinely enjoy each other's company , not merely tolerate one· another. · "We . tend to underestimate ' the importance of. everyday activities. A family is built around the mundane, not the highlights like a vacation when the dynamics change," says Niven. · Each of the entries in "The I00 Simple Secrets af Happy Families" (Harper . San Francisco) are · based on research conclusions of scienlists studying family life, not personal experience of Niven or those near and dear to him, he explains. The tips that can be implemented as soon as tomorrow include: -No. 39. Show up on time. Punctual parents are the foundation of the consistency in children's lives; kids won't ' think they are being left on their own without guidance and supervision, and they' ll feel like they can depend upon their parents. "Anyorie could do this, but many don't," says Niven. -No. 12. Tell your family story. · When parents talk about their upbringings and even their parents ' upbringings, it gi ves the next ge neration a sense of the big family picture. Tiley' II understa.nd the relationships and not just see relatives as otherwise unrelated people who pose for a portrait on holidays. Offering family context also helps humanize parents. "To a lot of children , their parents never had a childhood with childhood issues. They (children) think their parents were born in their 30s. But if they knew about the rights their parents had over clothes when they were young then the kids will understand that the decision of when they can pierce their ears isn't being .decided by some old fuddy duddy." ' -No. 17. Live your views. 'Showing what you value by doing it encourages the next geheration to respect and follow. Thi s method 'of ' teaching also allows childroen .to make decisions for themselves, which likely will lead to decisions and convtcuons that stick. Hqwever, ruling with an iron hand will only encourage rebellion. "People who feel they were brought up in very restrictive . households tend to feel like they are not in control of their own adult lives, mostly because .don't feel know how to make a decision." Other "secrets" offered tly Niven mighi take longer to accomp li sh because they require· some thought and planning. "One of the most important aspects of family life is for everyone to be a family member and an individual. It can be a difficult balance," says Niven, who is taking a sabbatical from his teaching job at Florida Atlantic University to do research at Ohio State University. Tip No. 88 is "Don't do everything together." He compares families who love each other but spend too. much time together to a vacation in an interesting, faraway land ; it's great for a twoweek visit but you probably don ' t want to move in permanently. · "Putting every moment available into .Your family is not a healthy thing. Just because it's important doesn't mean 'you should spend every moment possible on it. It'll eat away at your own identity." He adds: "Spend ing all your efforts on your family will reduce family satisfaction because you'll begin to resent. your family. Martyrs aren't happ y people." If it seems that your time is too heavily tilted toward mi ght nat like decision , other people's .needs, Niven they'll accept it if they feel suggests writing down your like they were listened to .... thoughts (No. 61 ).

And since a young child often doesn "t have the vocabulary - or the desire to tell parents that.their shoes , are too tight, parents should recheck measurements periodically and give frequent '"toe tests," pushing down on the toe box of shoes to make' sure there is some room between the child's feet and the front. Parents also should lodk for signs of discomfort when their children are putting iheir slioes on or when they walk, run or climb. ,"Your 4-year-old may keep from you that her favorite pair of purple and pink sneakers are staning to hurt in fear that her new sneakers will not be as good. or even worse the store will be out of her favorite color combination." says a company ,tatement. For those youngsters who are attached to their old pair of shoes, parents can reassure them that something very similar in a more comfortable size is waiting for' them at the store.
