For the 7th time Cedar Points Millennium Force has been named top coaster in the world. Voted the "Best Steel Coaster in the World," Millennium Force broke TEN world records when it opened in 2000.
Riders climb the 310-foot-tall lift hill smoothly and quickly and dive towards the earth at an 80-degree angle at speeds of 93 mph! It's all speed and airtime as Millennium Force stays close to the ground, climbs onto an island and twists and turns as it flies towards the end of the ride.
Cedar Point is open until Nov 1 2009

| OHIO’S WILLIAM J. POWELL, A PIONEER IN DIVERSITY IN GOLF, |

William J. (Bill) Powell of East Canton, Ohio, who overcame racial barriers to become the only African-American to design, build, own and operate a golf course while pioneering diversity in the game, has been named the recipient of the 2009 PGA Distinguished Service Award. Powell, 92, and a PGA Life Member, will be honored in conjunction with the 91st PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. The award presentation will be conducted Aug. 12, in downtown Minneapolis. The PGA Distinguished Service Award is the Association’s highest annual honor. “William Powell’s dream to build a golf course where players regardless of the color of their skin would be welcome was a task that he met under great duress, hardship and personal sacrifice,” said PGA of America President Jim Remy. “Yet, Mr. Powell displayed exceptional courage, grace and the finest character while persevering toward his goal of opening Clearview Golf Club. “He and his family represent the best in our sport and what it means to treat one’s neighbor with dignity and respect. The PGA of America is extremely proud to be presenting Mr. Powell, a legend in our time, with the 2009 PGA Distinguished Award.” Powell is the father of PGA and LPGA Professional Renee Powell, the 2003 PGA First Lady of Golf and the second African-American to compete on the LPGA Tour. Renee is the PGA head professional at Clearview Golf Club in East Canton, Ohio, where she is joined by her brother, Larry, a member of the Golf Course Superintendents of America. In September 1946, while denied a G.I. Loan despite serving honorably in the U.S. Army Air Corps, Bill Powell received the financial backing of two black physicians in nearby Canton and Massillon, Ohio, to begin building a public golf course. Powell added his own part of the necessary capital after his brother, Berry, took out a loan on his home. Powell’s dream took fruit in April 1948, with nine holes opening for play on the former dairy farmland. A decade later, Powell bought out his partners and added an additional 52 acres for a second nine holes. The complete 18-hole layout was opened for play in 1978. Powell’s family, including his late wife, Marcella; eldest son, Billy (now deceased); daughter Renee; son Larry and a close friend, the late Euley Green, formed the workforce that prepared and polished Clearview. Today, Clearview Golf Club is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Powell once described Clearview, a 130-acre property, as “America’s Course . . . a course where the only color that matters is the color of the greens.” “This is quite an honor, and it is something I savor due to so many good people in The PGA that made it happen,” said Powell. “I am so humbled to have people think this way of me. I have had so many special things happen to me, I believe, because golf sees no color. It is a game that brings out the best in people and it is vital to young people. Golf means nothing but good. If you can get young people in the game, then they are good for all their lives.” Powell said that he believes that when Clearview Golf Club opened for play in 1948, it truly represented “America’s First Tee.”
