Right now you just need to race as hard as you can for those top fives and top lOs and get those wins when you can, I think the points come by racing that way.

Born in Vallejo, Calif., on Aug. 4, 1971, Gordon moved to Pittsboro, Ind., in his teens, primarily to advance his racing career. He enjoyed spectacular success in go-karts and open-wheel cars. He never raced stock cars until the age of 19, but was Busch Series Rookie of the Year in 1991 and won the same honor in the Winston Cup Series in 1993. Gordon then won Cup championships in 1995, 1997, 1998 and 2001.

"In the first third of the season, I think it means so much. It just takes that weight off your shoulder.

After seven and a-half years, Criminal Records' ceased operations earlier this week . Owner Jeff Wamsley said the reason for the closing is the reason why most businesses close.- no money. "Basically its the same old song and dance - a negative cash flow,'' Wamsley said. Wamsley was quick to point . out that the Point Pleasant location is the only store that's being closed. The two other locations he owns in Gallipolis and Jackson. Ohio are alive and well. In fact, Wamsley said the Point Pleasant store was being kept aliv~ from the profits of the two other locations. "It just wasn ' t a good environment." Wamsley said. Likewise, Wamsley said both internal and external factors contributed to the declining revenue . Among the internal factors was his having to rent the building . External factors included lack of foot traffic. Wamsley said despite other Main Street retailers like Woodyard's Mini-Mall who've struggled with trying to gel people to downtown. music retailers · regardless of size and location are experiencing sagging sales. Wamsley said. this is due to people burning CD's off the Internet. He said when adding the factors togetfier it isn't hard to figure out the answer.

Department of Transportation will break ground ,for the new Pomeroy/Mason Bridge on . May9. 0 DOT Public Infonnation Officer Stephanie Filson said Friday the grounbreaking ceremony date remains officially "tentative," pending approval by the governor's office, but is expected to proceed as scheduled. Filson said Ohio Gov. Bob Taft and West Vrrginia Gov. Bob Wise have been PA. invited to attend the ceremony, to be held in the area under the existing bridge in Pomeroy. OOOT crews have begun site preparation for the groundbreaking, and utility companies are completing work on relocating utility Jines needed ,before work can begin on the bridge approach, Filson said. 'The Meigs County ODOT garage has been instructed to do as much as possible to prepare the bridge area in anticipation of the groundbreaking date," Filson said. The bridge project is unique by OOOT's standards, according to Filson, in that two con- tracting finns were awarded the single bid for the construetion project. C.J. Mahan Constructipn Co., Grove City, and National Engineering and Contracting Co., Strongsville, were awarded a $46 million contract in February for construction of the new cable-stay bridge, to be built just dowruiver from the existing bridge. Last week, the highway department held the first "partnering" meeting with representatives of the two contracting ftrms and the West Virginia Department of Highways. 'These meetings are a fairly new concept for ODOT," Filson said. "qut they are designed to bring all interested parties up to speed on the projec1 as il stands. and to try to anticipate any problems that . may arise during construction, and lo prevent those problems as best we can." "This is an espeCially important idea for the Pomeroy/Mason Bridge pr0ject, because we have two independent contractors working . \ logether under the same contract on the same project." Once construction begins probably next month, Filson said - the bridge is expected to take three years to complete. Mason County 0---~-~., Sonny Pt. Cloudi CIMy Sllown T~IO<ml Rain Flunlts Snow ..

EVANS, W.Va.- A rotting dog carcas at a house near the Mason/Jackson County line has raised the ire of neighbors and passing motorists. The property's residents, however, claim they know nothing about the dead animal. On Thursday afternoon, distraught woman reported that a house on West Vrrginia Route 87 at Evans was surrounded by several maltreated animals and that one dog was lying dead on the front porch of the dwelling. At least two dogs, including a rottweiler, and a cat appeared to be the only animals in and· around the house, while a dog's body lay on th_ e front porch. Netghbors reported that they made several complaints with authorities about the animals. Two Mason County Sheriff's deputies and the county dog warden made a visit to the property earlier this week, but were driven off by the rottweiler according to neighbors and Judy Oliver, manager of the Mason County Animal Shelter. · The owner of the property owner, Birdie King of Leon, said he rents the dwelling to Frank and Diana Yates, who denied knowing anything . about the dead dog on the porch. Yates said. The couple also said they didn't know their rottweiler was roaming the property. Mr. Yates said both times when he went to feed the dogs on Thursday, the rottweiler was tied up. However, on Thursday afternoon, the dog was roaming said. Oliver said while the county has the authority to deal with the live animals, it has no power to remove the dead dog. She said this the frrst time in the seven years she's been manager that the shelter has gotten a call dealing with an animal carcass free. on private property. · · 'There shouldn't be a reason "Our problem is there's cershe's running Jose," Mrs. Yates tain things we can and can't · !Jlreyou 'Rlady vr Syrlf18?

A lite marked by a succession of athletic surprises might just climb over another mountainous hurdle this weekend if Groom's name pops up in the NFL draft. "I couldn't have written it any better," Groom said quietl y while watching a recen.! <?hio State spring football practtce . It s been a great ride ." The scrawny kid with flyaway hair walked on the Ohio State team and surprised everyone bot himself by making the learn as a kicker and holder. Redshirted his first year, he only got in dunn g rwo blowout games in 1999. ' A year later.. the graduate of Columbu s' Bishop Hartley High School lettered as a holder.

When a reporter suggests that it might be unrealistic to expect to be drafted most teams sign free agents to fill the punter position - Groom refuses to even consider the alternative. "I'd better be drafted . I'm not goi ng to be happy if! don't get drafted," he said. ''I've been hearing different rounds, fo urth through sixth. It all depend s on the team. I' ve got a few teams that I'm the No. I punter on their board. It doesn't matter what Mel Kiper says or what anybody else says. It's all about the team. Some teams like different guys."

Why stop now" Jets trade two picks. to Bears for fourth pick • NEW YORK (AP) - The New York Jets have four players on their draft board they would love to have. They made a move Friday to.get one of them. The Jets traded their two tirst-round draft pid;s to the Chicago Bears for the fourth overall pick in Saturday's NFL drati, a week after general manager Terry Bradway said it was tmlikely they would package their 'elections to move up. Chicago also will recei ve a conditional pick in this year's drati. Though Bradway would not disclose the names of the players the Jets covet. he said the deci,ion to trade the No. 13 and 22 picks was made because ;.the draft board seemed to be void from 13-20." "When we put the board together. there weren 't enough players at 13 we'd be real excited about taking with our No. I pick,'' Bradway said. "Having two picks in .the tlrst round gave us the oppo11unity to mo ve up. "When you look at thpse lour players. every scout and every coach that ' aw every one of these players gave them a good grade. I can't say that for the guys who were below 10 or we'il be considering at 13." ' Kentucky defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson is high on the Jets' li st. along with Kansas State defensive back T~rence Newman and Miami receive r Andre Johnson. Robertson is comidered the best of the IO, 12 defensive linemen who could go in the first round. Johnson could be available if Houston passes on him at No.3. If Newman is available. he would immediately upgrade the Jets ' special teams after they lost top kickoff returner Chad Morton to the Redskins. The Jets made the move after Bradway said last Thursday at a predraft news conterence, "I don't feel like there's a player right now on the board that is probably wort hy of (moving up) based on our evaluations." New York obtained the 13th pick from Washington as compensation for wide . receiver Laveranues Coles, signed as a restricted free agent by the Redskins.

Former Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke and. second-year player Randy Fasani both played last season and are still on the roster. '· · Still, Carolina could opt to take Leftwich if he's available. "He is unique in that he has tremendous leadership and he's big and strong," said Jack Bushofsky, Carolina's director of player personnel. "He's obviously a guy you would have to consider." The Panthers may not get that chance because Jflcksonville also has shown inter· est in Leftwich with the eighth overall pick. Negotiations for a contract extension for Jacksonville quarterback Mark Brunell have stalled, leaving the option open to take Leftwich. ''You can never have enough good players. Especially at the quarterback position," said Jacksonville personnel execu· tive Jan1es Harris. ••• Zero percent down. That's not just a s l~~an. for car sales. Lance Nimmo hopes It s h1s ucket to the NFL. When asked to list his accomplishments <md show why. he should be selected in the NFL drali, the f()nner West Virginia otlensive tackle points to something he claims he hasn't done - allowed a defender to tackle the quarterback . ."I don 't remember Siving up a sack. I know that," Nimmo satd. One of his fondest memories was from the 200 1 season. Syracuse defensive end . Dwight Freeney led the nation with 17.5 sacks that year. but Nimmo didn't let him get any. "I th ink I was one of the only people all year that shut' him down . So that was good for me," Nimmo said. Fifteen NFL teams have contacted the 6foot-6, 310-pound Nimmo . The New Castle, Pa., native believes he could be taken as high as the fourth round. "''m pretty optimi stic that things wi ll work out. but you have to be prepared for the worst," Nimmo said. ''I'm just excited for someone to give me the opportunity to play. It would be nice to stay close to home. It would be nice to be somewhere warm . There's a give-and-take to every situation ." WVU offensive li ne coach Rick Trickett said Nimmo's best football is ahead of him. "This past year he started comi ng into his own . I think he's going to be a steal in the draft.'' Trickett said. • •• Former Marshall free safety Chris Crocker has a fondness for Dawgs. Crocker was impressed with the Cleveland Browns dunng a recent visit and Peterson, and re-signing Fred Taylor. in hopes of winning in 2003. By choosing a developmental player over a receiver or offensive lineman, it could send the wrong ·signal to fans, whom the Jaguars are still trying to lure after three years of declining attendance. '1nose are obviously the types of things we' re discussing right now," Del Rio said. "We're goi ng to accumulate the best players we can and put the best product on the tield in the falL What kind of message does that send? We're not in the message business. We 're jn the player business." Under the new system - designed by owner Wayne Weaver - Harris, Del Rio and Smith must all agree on a player to dr.tft him. lfthey don't agree. they go to the next guy on the list. until they find someone everyone can live with. HWe have as many of those discussions !!head of time as possible," Del Rio said. 'That's why we spend so many hours locked up in the draft room." Among the scenarios they've clearly discussed is a trade with Baltimore, J-larris' former employer. which picks in the IOth spot and dearly covets a quarterback. It could take the Leftwich decision off the chtll1S for the Jaguars. and buy them a few more draft picks. But the more ·intriguing scenario is ihat the Jaguars pick at No. 8, with the Marshall ql!arterback still available. "I don't think there are any differences on the quality of the player," Smith said. "We all feel he's a good player." 'aid he· d love to play before the Dawg Pound.

"I know a lot of people in this area, a lot of people in that area.' Cleveland has a need at cornerback in the draft. · 'They don't really have anybody set in stone at their comer position," he said. . 'They like my versatility, the fact that I can play safety or comer. The more you can do, the more money you can save a team. They doil't have to draft a comer and draft a safety. I can fi II both voids." Crocker thinks he could be taken anywhere from the third to fifth rounds. · "If you would have asked me this two or three days ago. I would have said Cleveland for sure," he said. "Now I'm real! y not sure because some of the other teams are showing a lot of interest, and they have picks earlier than Cleveland does." ••• Among other players hoping to get drafted this weekend are former Marshall offensive tackle Steve Sciullo, fonner West Virginia running back Avon Cobourne. linebacker James Davis and defensi ve lineman David Upchurch.

QI:imrs-6rntinrl Girl harassed by mother can't do anything right DEAR ABBY: I am a 14year-old girl. My problem is my mother and the nonstop fights we've been having lately. I'm trying hard to do ;tll the right things - keep my grades up. mamtain my friendships - and rnay6e find a nice boyfriend. . Through it all, I've tri'!(i to make Mom my No. I priority. My father lefi us, and Mom has done everything for my brother, sister and me. Evep when she had only 20 bucks in her pocket, she still kept us in our house with food on the table. What's hardest for me right now is that I can't do what other kids my age can -or go where they go- because of lack of money. I have been reading my Bible every day and praying for my family - even for my dad. But I can't seem to make Mom happy no maner how hard I try. She yells at me every time I turn around. I need some of your best advice, Abby. You can't imagine how great it would be for me to hear something positive from Mom for a change. Thanks for listening._ · -TROUBLE WITH MOTHER · · DEAR TROUBLE WITH MOTHER: From your description, it appears your mother is stressed out and not the mother she would wish to be. Her short fuse ·has nothing to do with you, and everything to do with her Dear Abby ADVICE overwhelming responsibilities to you and your siblings. Please don't take her outbursts personally. Clip this column and show.her this letter. Tell her that you wrote it, and that you kwe her, appre· ciate her and want to please her. Try to be understanding. She probably doesn 't realize how bad you have been feeling. and she needs all the support she can get right now. · If the yelling continues (too much yelling can be abusive). discuss it wtth your clergyperson or a counselor at school. They may be able to intervene on your behalf. As for your money problems, start asking around and see if you can pick up some baby-sit· ting jobs for extra money in the short term. In another year or two you will be able to get a part-time job if you wish. DEAR ABBY: My brotherin-law remarried a year ago. His new wife has a teenage son, "Josh," fmmapreviousrelation· ship, and my brother-in-law is in the process of adopting him. Recently my husband and I invited the three of them to our home. It was the fii'St time we had met our new sister- in-law and Josh. They both seemed nice, but my husband and I sensed that there was something about .the boy we weren't being told. List night, my husband's mother confided in him that four · years ago Josh was caught in the act of molesting and sodomizing his 9-year-old female cousin. He was convicted by juvenile court and sent away for three years. The next time we saw Josh after learning this information. we were at the home of some other relatives. The family had gathered to celebrate an uncle·s birthday. During the course of the party, Josh spent time alone with several young cousins of both sexes in the basement play- $aturday, April 26, 2003 perch 53 Shy 1 Sports 56 Diva's network melody 5 Cone bearer 58 Cracked 8 Pamper 59 Fam. saint 12 Old· 60 Shaggy fashioned oxen '· pronoun 61 Bonny 13 Mellow miss 14 Bread 62 Also spread 63 Fabric but I will abide by your answer. 15 Find fault sample - WORRIED SICJ( ON · 16 Every year 18 Dorm view DOWN THE EAST COAST 20 Charged DEAR WORRIED SICK: I particle .1 Common disagree with your husband.
