A native of Greensboro, NC, Joey Cheek grew up as an inline skater and made the switch to the ice in 1995. Cheek began his ice career as an 'Allround' or distance skater but later switched to the shorter sprint distances, where he really began to shine. A bronze medalwinner in the 1,000 meter event at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics, Cheek fulfilled a lifelong dream at the 2006 Olympics in Torino, Italy, where he won gold in the 500 meters and silver in the 1,000 meters (read the Olympic recap here). That same season Cheek won the World Sprint Championships and became the first-ever recipient of US Speedskating's 'Eric Heiden Athlete of the Year' award.

Perhaps Cheek’s most notable effort, however, began off the ice when he made the remarkable gesture of donating $40,000 in winnings to Right To Play, an athlete-driven international humanitarian organization that uses sport and play as a tool to help young people in the most disadvantaged areas of the world (read about that press conference here). In April, he visited Zambia to see the organization’s work first-hand (read his Zambia journal here).

Cheek’s donation announcement in Torino was quickly followed by his call to action to others in support of the people of the Darfur region of the Sudan. His generosity inspired corporations and individuals alike; to date hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised for the region. Cheek continues to work to call attention to Darfur on an ongoing basis. His influence in doing so earned him spot on Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People list (May 2006 issue) and recognition at the 2006 Clinton Global Initiative where Joey officially launched his personal campaign to take action for Darfur; Team Dafur.

Potato Shooting Games

The Golden Ram Family Outdoor Weekend is dedicated to building outdoor skills in our youngsters, enabling them to engage in hunting and fishing opportunities, understand the importance of wildlife conservation management, learn to appreciate natural resources, and preserve our fishing and hunting heritage. Brian and Jason have been driving around Austin declaring themselves the Potato Pirates and they have the cannon to prove it. It's really gotten out of hand. Judy and I have known the Rendina's for 48 years. Jim and I worked together for many years while at GM. He was an infectious person that always had a new project. One I remember was potato guns. He could make the best, longest shooting potato guns I've ever used. It's propellant was hair spray! Another, 'Ye Old Buffing Shop'. Give your hand-eye coordination skills a boost with our shooting games. Real weapons are nothing to mess around with, but you can try out everything from shotguns to crossbows in these online games. Team up with other players from across the globe or challenge them to an epic deathmatch in the first-person shooter games. Just be sure to keep an. Fighting the Ent requires some tactics like jumping when he sends fire by hitting the ground, shooting potato alike self-exploding creatures near him, using a shotgun, drinking a medicine when you get infected, keeping a far distance from the Ent, and running from his vertical bombs. Around 7 minutes needed for destroying the Ent.
