Wild Bill Hickock for his take on the matter With all that homeland security stuff you all have goin’ on, I’m little surprised the Sheriff has time for worrying about a picture on a piece of cardboard somewhere across town.

I hear that the same guys who were running his campaign ran Sheriff Young’s campaign. In The Mail? Mmmm, wonder if there’s a connection there?

Neither is just being an all around bad player, even if he did once get a school named for him. Once again, it is important to understand that voters are not the loyal sheep which political consultants think they are. You would think that this election would be instructive for those remaining in contention on November 2. If you don’t believe that, look at the Kerry for President campaign.

So Instead, we are to live as Christ might within us enables us to over- come our emotions and be led by His unchangeable Word and Spirit instead of our unstable feelings and emotions. I fought the battle of emotion- al instability in many areas of my life—one being my relationship with my son David. We both have the same type of strong choleric person- ality, so we often got into screaming matches with each other before we learned to submit our personalities to the Lord. Before I learned to depend on the Holy Spirit to help me con- trol my emotional outbursts, I was under constant condemnation. I finally stopped feeling guilty for my emotional lapses when I real- ized that I was a human being with a weak nature—had I been perfect, I wouldn’t have had a need for a per- fect Savior. Jesus came to be the Perfect Sacrifice for us because we do not have the ability to be perfect in the natural realm. We must remember that fact when we are tempted to be overcome by guilt and condemna- tion every time we fail to control our emotions. Through a series of painful expe- riences with my son, I learned that a little humility teaches a far greater lesson than warfare. David began to change when I began to change— and I began to change when I finally realized that although I have emo- tions, I don’t have to give in to them. God wants each one of us to trust Him, knowing that He will help us develop the same kind of emotional maturity and stability that marked the life of His own Son, Jesus Christ. THE PENNY PRESS, SEPTEMBER 9, 2004 PAGE 13 Challenge: Take the biggest, heaviest production passenger vehicle made and make it handle like a sports car. Answer: Rollgard™. Like a lot of people, my life precludes the Porsche 911 Turbo or the Saleen Mustang I might buy if practicality wasn’t a consideration. In my case, kids, mountainous terrain, and a lot of stuff to schlep around pretty much rule out sports cars as an option.

And so, in the last five years, I’ve driven a Four Wheel Drive Ford F-150 and two Four Wheel Drive Ford Excursions. All of them, including the brand new Power Stroke Diesel Excursion, are big, tough trucks with a lot of torque, a lot of power and a lot of space.

The downside is that they all have a fairly high center of gravity and are susceptible to rolling into a turn at highway speeds.

And all of them have been tamed by Rollgard.

My name is Fred Weinberg and I don’t work for Rollgard, which means you can call me at my office, 702-740-5588, and I’ll be glad to give you the benefit of my 170,000 miles of driving with the product.

Simply put, Rollgard is a set of counter springs which keeps the rear wheels firmly planted on the road. It was designed by a race car engineer to give any vehicle with leaf springs (that’s most pickup trucks, Here’s the F-150. We put about vans and many SUV’s) 50,000 miles on it with Rollgard the same kind of han- dling control which a race car can get from the various adjustments you see them make in the pits on race day.

What it does is to allow you to steer the vehicle without constant corrections. In other words, point the vehicle where you want to go and it goes there. Last summer, we tested an Excursion with Yes, the Excursion is big. With Rollgard, it is very well behaved! Rollgard under full safety conditions on closed off pieces of Nevada highways in connection with open road racing events.

We discovered that you could blast this 8,000 pound vehicle down a winding highway at speeds in excess of 95 miles an hour with complete control only using a very light touch on the steering wheel. The professionals behind the wheel were extremely impressed.

Now you’ll probably never have to drive a big, heavy truck like that, but it’s sure nice to know that you could. Because if it handles that well at those speeds, imagine how well it works at regular interstate highway speeds.

The best news is that Rollgard isn’t very expensive. And, because it’s a Las Vegas company, we’ve arranged a special deal for you: Buy it at any of the dealers below and we’ll send you a $25 rebate when you mail us a copy of the paid receipt and the rebate cou- pon from this ad.
