Chance Zobel, Columbia, South Carolina. Winning Citizen: Chance was an outstanding young firefighter (page 23) whose life was tragically cut short in the line of duty on November 15, 2010. I want Chance’s story to be told from a retired firefighter’s point of view, someone who has been there himself. Someone who understands the firefighting brotherhood from the inside. I believe that if Chance’s story is told, another life can be saved if people pay attention while driving. By Chris Davis

Winning Athlete: He’s been a life-long practitioner of the martial arts for 70 years and has receieved high degrees from the original founders of several martial arts, including Morihei Ueshiba (aikido), Hohan Soken (white crane karate) and Kazuo Ito (judo). To a non-martial artists, these names probably don’t mean much, but they are quite famous in the marital world, and to have a live-in student of theirs here in Charleston is rather extraordinary.
