Taking a hunter education

than ever, according to the
Georgia Department of

Hunters can access an

a hunter education CD-Rom
or take the traditional class

The Internet and CD-
Rom courses satisfy eight
of the ten required hours
to complete the course.
Hunters then must attend
a two-hour (minimum)

Perry let an early 4-0 lead
get away and lost 8-4.
In that second game
Friday, Perry had an inju
ry to its pitching rotation.
So Smith made four starts
on Saturday and won two
of them on run-rule short
ened shutouts. But first, the
Panthers faced Griffin again
and lost 5-4.
Perry followed that up
with a 12-0 win against
Dublin and an 11-0 win
over Peach County. In the
third and final game against
Griffin, the home team had
one big inning of six runs
and won by six 11-5.
The home runs kept on
coming for Perry as lead-
ter, and each side ran its
offense for five minutes.
In the fourth period, each
team had seven minutes on
offense with all series start
ing at the opponent’s 25-
yard-line. Alvin Matheny
had a near interception
for Houston, but that was
the lone highlight as Jones
County scored three touch
downs.
The Bears’ turn with the
football turned into a field
goal kicking contest. Taylor
Jones scored from 40 and

Ashley Craddock batted .650

Thompson, at the bottom
third of the order, made
seven hits.
With just one week gone
in the regular season, the
story of the Panthers so far
is the long ball. The team
had five home runs in two

overall.
“We tried to change

Sans. “They bought into it

Biffle gains position in standings,
but loses ground toward Chase
Greg Biffle finished sev
enth in Sunday’s GFS
Marketplace 400 at the
Michigan International
Speedway. It was far short
of what he expected - and
needed - to get back into the
race to make the Chase for
the Championship.
“Pretty good day after
what we’ve been through in
the last dew weeks, but it’s
not what we wanted,” Biffle
said. “We felt like we had a
better car than that.
“This kind of seals our
fate out of the Chase right
here. We needed a win here
today or finish in the top
three, plus we needed some
body that was close to us to
have trouble.”
Biffle now is 12th in the
standings, but he’s 189
points behind lOth-place
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Kasey Kahne, who finished
fourth in the race, is 11th in
the rankings, 49 points from
the top 10.
Jimmie Johnson still con
tinues to lead the standings
with a 58-point cushion over
race winner Matt Kenseth.
Both of those drivers will
qualify for the Chase if they
simply start the next three
races.
Nothing else is settled.
Kevin Harvick is third in
the standings, but he’s only
168 points from falling out
of the top 10.
Mark Martin is fourth,
while Tony Stewart is fifth,
Jeff Gordon is sixth, Kyle
Busch is seventh, Denny
Hamlin is eighth, Jeff Burton
is ninth and Earnhardt Jr. is
10th.

NASCAR called Dale
Earnhardt Jr. and Carl
Edwards to its on-track
headquarters Sunday morn

None able to knock Tiger off the top
By Garry Smits
Morris News Service
MEDINAH, 111. - They all
had their hopes of being the
first player to knock Tiger
Woods off the top of the lea
derboard in a major champi
onship on Sunday.
Luke Donald began with
the best chance, merely
because he was tied with
Woods for the 54-hole lead.
Mike Weir was playing bet
ter than anyone else in the
field except for Woods and
Donald, and unlike Donald,
knew how to close a major
under pressure.
Sergio Garcia was hop
ing to capture some of the
Medinah magic he had in
1999; Shaun Micheel also
was trying to summon past
success in a PGA; and Adam
Scott made the biggest move
from behind.
One-by-one, they all melt
ed away on a perfect day for
scoring and what would have
been the perfect day to hoist
the Wannamaker Trophy as
the PGA Champion.
Once again, Woods (68)
proved to be the most potent
closer since Jack Nicklaus.
His record when leading or
holding a share of the lead on
a Sunday in majors: 12-0.
His margin of victory: five
shots over Micheel (69), at
18-under-par 270. Donald
(74), Garcia (70) and Scott
(67) tied for third at 12-under
and Weir (73) finished alone
in sixth at 11-under.
Since Donald started the
day tied with Woods, simple

Earnhardt Jr. won the
race and was greeted by
more boos than cheers from
the fans at the Michigan
International Speedway. As
he drove the final lap under
caution, Edwards drove
down pit road, came back
onto the track and slammed
into the driver-side door of
Earnhardt Jr.’s car.
The winner had his hand
out the window, waving at
other drivers. The collision
came within “four inches”
of cutting Earnhardt Jr.’s
hand, he said.
Edwards compounded
his problems - which cer
tainly will lead to penalties
this week by NASCAR - by
grabbing Earnhardt Jr. in
Victory Lane. He had to be
restrained by NASCAR offi
cials.
According to NASCAR
spokesman Ramsey Poston,
both drivers were warned
against retaliation during
Sunday’s GFS Marketplace.
Other sources said Edwards
was warned that further pay
backs may result in a sus
pension.
Earnhardt Jr. said he
understands why Edwards
was upset, but he was con
cerned how he responded.
“I was actually putting
the pedal down to go to the
outside of Carl. He wasn’t
going. I was gaining and
gaining, and I said, “I’ll just
put it on the outside of Carl.’
We come off the corner and
he was all out of shape. The
88 didn’t get into him. Us
being around him the way
we were, it had him out of
control. He just never got
into the gas. I think we were
math dictated that he had
the best chance.
However, he failed to match
Woods’ opening birdie, and
barely missed a birdie-putt
attempt at the second hole.
Weir also had his chanc
es. The winner of the 2003
Masters in a playoff with
Len Mattiace, the left-hand
ed Canadian birdied Nos. 3
and 5, with the latter birdie
bringing him to within one
shot of Woods at the time.
As if on cue, Woods birdied
his next two after that. But
Weir birdied the 10th hole to
keep himself within range.
Then he started missing
greens. He bogeyed three
of those holes, and fell into
sixth place.
Micheel has rarely been in
contention since but birdied
three of four holes early in
his back nine to stay close
enough to Woods for the

actually on the straightaway
when I got into him. I was
trying to push him a little
bit. When I got into him, he
just climbed up on the nose
and it spun him right out.
“I didn’t mean to spin
him out. I don’t go around
wrecking people on purpose.
I really don’t have a track
record for doing that.”
Edwards, as expected, had
a different perspective of the
accident.
“My interpretation was
we were having a good race
and Dale kind of spun me
out and ended up winning
the race,” he said. “That’s
racing. NASCAR had a nice
meeting with me a while
back and said they would
take care of stuff like that.
I guess they’re letting him
keep the win. I know it’s
exciting for the fans, but it’s
frustrating for me. We had a
great car.”
Edwards said he was
happy to hear fans react
to Earnhardt’s bump and
run victory, especially since
Earnhardt Jr. is widely con
sidered the most-popular
driver in the sport.
“That’s neat the fans are
that objective.” Edwards
said. “Dale Jr.’s real popular
with the fans. It’s nice they
have a little bit of a feeling
over this.
“I’m not out of control. I
just wanted to make sure
he knew I wasn’t happy. I
couldn’t let him win the race
with a perfect car and not
give him a little something.
I’m sure NASCAR is upset
about that. That’s fine. They
should be.”
