Obama signs credit card curbs
BY PHILIP ELLIOTT
Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON — President
Barack Obama warned overeager
shoppers and greedy credit card
companies alike on Friday to act
responsibly as he signed into law a
bill designed to protect debt-ridden
consumers from surprise charges.
The White House staged a signing ceremony in the Rose Garden,
an indication of the legislation’s
importance to Obama. Though
opposed by many financial companies, the bill cleared Congress with
broad support.
Obama made clear that he didn’t champion the changes with the
intention of helping those who buy
more than they can afford through
“reckless spending or wishful
thinking.”
“Some get in over their heads
Columnist Ron Hart
writes that free market
competition is the answer
to affordable health care in
America.

to get outdoors for their

things right, but one mistake cost him
his life.
A

Brett Thomason —
found drowned in
the

had a blood alcohol Thomason

Company changes plans, will
stay in Dalton and expand
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Pliant Corp., which makes film and flexible
packaging products, will not close the company’s Dalton facility as planned but will upgrade
and expand it.
Pliant CEO Harold Bevis said “stabilized
markets, strong customer preference and local
and state incentives” led to the decision to
remain open. In April 2008, company officials
said the plant would close. Company officials
did not say how many people are employed at
the Dalton plant. Company officials did not say
if the expansion would create more jobs.
“The city of Dalton, Dalton Utilities,
Whitfield County and the Georgia Department
of Economic Development have created a very

by not using their heads,” the president said. “I want to be clear: We
do not excuse or condone folks
who’ve acted irresponsibly.”
And yet, he said, for many of
appealing place to do business and grow,” Bevis
said. “Gov. Sonny Perdue’s support of our
expansion plans and the favorable manufacturing environment were instrumental in our decision. We envision the Dalton facility becoming a
second Medical Center of Excellence to complement the Medical Center of Excellence under
construction in Danville, Ky. Since the closure
announcement in April 2008, Dalton personnel
have continued to operate safely, efficiently and
professionally. We are very pleased to express
our appreciation of that commitment, and we are
now able to secure their future with Pliant.”
Pliant operates two other facilities in
Georgia, including a plant in Calhoun, and is
expanding its Washington facility in Wilkes
County.

Officials with the Dalton Pye car
dealerships are moving along with
plans to acquire several automobile
franchises made available by bankrupt
Prebul Motors.
Sean Pye, Pye dealership vice president, said the company is “fairly far
along” in securing the Kia franchise,
“about 50 percent of the way on
Mazda” and the General Motors franchise “remains fluid at best.” The Pyes
already own Pye Honda, Pye Nissan
and Pye Motorsports in Dalton and
also an Acura dealership in
Chattanooga.

“I am so glad Nathan
Deal is running for governor.
Maybe now we can get a real
congressman.”
“I miss the old days in
school when a student got
into trouble he’d get punished at school and didn’t
end up with a criminal record
because he went running
through the halls or got in a
fight. It was kids doing kids’
stuff, nothing criminal.”
“If your child is not able
to compete at the fast-pitch
softball level, please find
them another sport.”
“I’ve always wanted to
have beehives as a hobby. Do
you think it would be OK if I
put three or four in my back
yard?”
You do not need a rooster
for hens to lay eggs. You
only need roosters if you
want the eggs fertilized in
order to have little chickens.
Go to any layer house and
you will see what I mean. No
roosters.”
“It's really sad that you
can't even raise a chicken in
your own back yard in a
small Georgia town like
Dalton!”
“A heartfelt thanks goes
out to the Dalton Police
Department for their support
of Special Olympics. This
event means a lot to our special needs children, and they
need all the support they can
get. I wish other groups in
this town would also join in
supporting
these
very
deserving kids.”
“I am 66 and have worked
hard all my life. I still work
part time. I have Medicare
and I am not a moocher.”
“Replacing
Sonny
Perdue? A chimpanzee
would do as well.”
“Thanks to First United
Methodist Church for hosting the Youth Spring
Basketball League. Thanks
to Susie Brown and Ollie
Harris for the hard work and
leadership.”
“The new Westside recreation complex site is all
uphill and downhill. How are
they going to make it level
enough to play ball or are
they going to play downhill
softball? Who made all the
money off this? It’s a terrible
place to put a ballfield.”
“I read once that there
were no cottonmouth moccasins north of Atlanta.
Could some college professor confirm this?”
Editor: According to
most online sources, the
cottonmouth is found
below the fall line, which
runs roughly through middle Georgia. Of course,
there are exceptions.
“School authorities are
responsible for responding to
unruly students. The root
cause of the problem is the
action of the students and
defensive parents.”
“Please tell the editor to
keep writing about his family. I love it.”
Editor: I thank you. My
family ... not so much.
“Thank you Lou Ann
Overton for your letter to the
editor. I have a daughter
deployed to Iraq for seven
months now and sometimes
it seems like our soldiers are
forgotten. Putting a candle in
the window is a great idea.”
“A lot of old people will
remember that way back
when we had a banner you
hung in your window when
you had a family member in
the service. I remember my
mom holding one up in a
family picture to remember
my brother.”
“The terror plot in New
York was foiled by an
agency that had the men
under surveillance for more
than a year. I guess that’s
more of that sorry Bush and
Cheney.”
“Does anyone know if
Jackie Fargo is wrestling
anywhere in Whitfield
County?”
Editor: Possibly, but
unlikely. Mr. Fargo is in his
80s.
“Obama says he wants
transparency. Good. I could
see right through him when
he was campaigning.”
“Thanks to our 12-yearold granddaughter Tyler for
giving us a wonderful
anniversary surprise. “
“I am proof that your
whole world can be turned
upside down without notice.
If it happens to you, I hope
you are approved for the
medical assistance you will
so desperately need.”
“Congratulations
to
Brianna Kinsey for making
honor roll.”
“Obama is the president
now. When is he going to
take responsibility for what
he’s done?”
“Thanks to the sheriff’s
department for the DARE
ride on May 16. It was very
well organized and a great
ride, as always.”

Pakistanis capture
Taliban base
BANAI BABA ZIARAT,
Pakistan — A Pakistani flag
now flies over army troops
dug in on a strategic ridge
that until two days ago was
held by the Taliban, a base
where militants trained
fighters, built tunnels and
equipped caves with electricity and air vents. The
takeover of the highest
Taliban stronghold in the
Swat Valley by troops who
stormed up its jagged, rubble-strewn slopes is evidence of the success of
Pakistan’s month-old army
offensive. The action has
been welcomed by the
United States, which fears
the nuclear-armed country
is capitulating to the militants. But much of the
region still remains in the
hands of the militants,
including Buner — a district just 60 miles from the
capital Islamabad and the
focus of intense air and
ground operations in recent
weeks.

Obama addresses
military grads
ANNAPOLIS, Md. —
President Barack Obama
promised graduating midshipmen at the U.S. Naval
Academy on Friday that, as
their commander in chief, he
will only send them “into
harm’s way when it is
absolutely necessary.” In his
first address to military
graduates, Obama also
pledged to invest in the men
and women who defend
America’s liberty, not just in
the weapons they would take
with them into battle against
21st century threats. Obama
said he has halted reductions
in the Navy, is building up
the Marine Corps and
investing in the hardware —
combat ships, submarines
and fighter aircraft — they’ll
need to do their jobs. He
promised higher pay,
enhanced child care and
improved support and other
benefits.
Prosecutors:
Peterson tried to
hire hit man
JOLIET, Ill. — Former
police officer Drew Peterson
offered someone $25,000 to
kill his third wife because he
thought a pending divorce
settlement would financially
ruin him, but then killed her
himself months later, prosecutors said Friday. The prosecutor made the allegation at
a bail reduction hearing for
Peterson’s $20 million bond.
The judge refused to reduce
the bond for the suburban
Chicago police officer, who
is charged with first-degree
murder in Kathleen Savio’s
2004 death. Peterson also is
a suspect in the 2007 disappearance of his fourth wife,
Stacy Peterson. He has
maintained his innocence in
Savio’s death and Stacy
Peterson’s disappearance.
Calif. faces a fiscal,
political reckoning
SACRAMENTO, Calif.
— The day of reckoning that
California has been warned
about for years has arrived.
The longest recession in
generations and the defeat
this week of a package of
budget-balancing ballot
measures are expected to
lead to state spending cuts
so deep and so painful that
they could rewrite the social
contract between California
and its citizens. They could
also force a fundamental
rethinking of the proper role
of government in the Golden
State. California is looking
at a budget deficit projected
at more than $24 billion
when the new fiscal year
starts in July. That is more
than one-quarter of the
state’s general fund. This
week, voters said they no
longer want the Legislature
to balance budgets with
higher taxes, complicated
transfer schemes or borrowing that pushes California’s
financial problems off into
the distant future. In light of
that, Republican Gov.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has
made it clear he intends to
close the gap almost entirely
through drastic spending
cuts.

CITIZEN OF THE WEEK
Leon Bazan
If you’ve ever
lost your purse or
wallet, you know
the sheer panic it
can cause. Your
personal information and credit
cards are out there
for Lord-knowswho to pick up.
On May 5, Bea
McDonald had just
returned from a
trip to Italy with
her sister, Hazel
Campbell,
and
stopped at WalMart on Shugart
Road en route to
her
grandson’s
school outing. In
her
rush,
McDonald left her
handbag in a shopping cart. By the
time she realized
what had happened, the purse
was long gone.
Or so she thought.
Later that afternoon
in the midst of canceling
credit
cards,
McDonald received a
phone call from her
son, Ed, asking if her
purse was missing.
“Yes,”
she
said,
stunned. “How did you
know?”
Leon Bazan had also
headed to Wal-Mart that
day to do some shopping, and upon entering
the parking lot spotted
McDonald’s purse. He
picked it up in hopes of
finding not money, but
the owner. Looking
inside, Bazan found the
name “McDonald” and
through a circuitous
route located Ed at
Dalton Utilities. Bazan
then hand-delivered the
purse and its contents to
him.
When
McDonald
called him to say thank
you, Bazan replied he
hoped someone would

do the same for his wife

Campbell is amazed.

WORDS OF WISDOM
Bible verse: “When the sun was setting, all those
who had any that were sick with various diseases
brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every
one of them and healed them.”
Luke 4:40
Today’s quote: “Any place that anyone can learn
something useful from someone with experience is an
educational institution.”
Al Capp
American cartoonist (1909-1979)
Health care hijacked
My oldest child plans to use
her summer vacation from
Vanderbilt to intern for
Republican Senator Saxby
Chambliss. I know you are
shocked; yes, there are still
some Republican Senators left.
Since she plans to head to
medical school next year so
that she can become a freshlyminted doctor saddled with student loans just in time for
socialized medicine, she will
be working on the “vision” of
nationalized health care currently proposed by the emboldened Democrats. This is their
attempt to top one bad idea
with another and to undermine
the free market that has led us
to such prosperity. To quote P.J.
O’Rourke, “If you think health
care is expensive now, wait ‘till
it is free.”
After regulating into submission the auto companies,
banks and Fannie Mae (thus
giving the Federal government
large stakes in all of them), the
Dems now plan to use their
magical business prowess on
one-seventh of our economy,
the best health care system in
the world. At long last, our
banking, car manufacturing
and health care will be as efficiently run as AMTRACK, the
DMV, the property assessor’s
office and the post office.
If the bailout of these
industries does not work, don’t
worry, be happy. The government has a backup plan to bail
out the bailout.
Just imagine how hard the
current CEO of GM, Barack
Obama, will negotiate with the
UAW union on its next contract. Plus, I am sure he will
engorge all of the union members’ health care benefits and
pensions so
they
are
awash in
Viagra and
gold chains
when they
retire at age
50. That
should be a
comfort to
you as our
budget
Ron
deficit skyHart
rockets and
more of our
economy is controlled by
politicians.
Let’s look at the future of
these newly confiscated businesses that government will
soon control by using the business model or, as they like to
call it, the “service” (just to
show they have a sense of
humor) model of the US Postal
Service.
Be assured, pro-union
Obama will do nothing to cost
the Postal Workers Union anything. Democrats are more
afraid of asking a union to
make sacrifices than they are of
a registered letter.
In a year when Fed Ex and
UPS made billions and paid
taxes, the United States Postal
“Service” lost $2.4 billion.
What makes the loss more
interesting is that most of that
money was lost in the mail.
Since there is little demand
for their “service,” the USPS
has now raised the price of a
stamp to 44 cents in response.
Our government will apply
the same logic to Chrysler and
GM upon gaining control of
them. If the 2012 Cobalt does
not sell at $13,000, the government will simply raise the
price to $92,000 and eliminate
two of the cup holders.
The Postal Service is also
threatening to end Saturday
mail service, so those of you
who enjoy getting unsolicited
flyers and junk mail on weekends will be left to suffer.
The USPS is all about attention to new and cutting edge
ideas. Even as we speak, the
Postal Service is looking for
ways to save Americans money
by sending correspondence and
documents almost instantly in a
manner that does not involve
them and saves fuel and paper.
They have an exploratory committee formed and expect a
report by 2020. If you have any
suggestions on how this can be
done, you could e-mail them, if
only there were e-mail at the
Postal Service. As it stands
now, you are asked to send
your ideas in a registered letter,
addressed to “Occupant,” to the
USPS post office box.
As Fed-Ex and UPS have
proven in package delivery,
free market competition is the
answer to affordable health
care in America. If health care
consumers were allowed to
shop for their services, had to
pay for it directly, and really
understood the pricing, the system would fix itself by sorting
out the winners and losers.
It is amazing that government’s answer to every problem is spending more of our
money to put us deeper in debt.
Wow, that is spare “change” we
can all believe in.

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Saturday,
May 23, the 143rd day of
2009. There are 222 days
left in the year.
Today’s Highlight in
History:
On May 23, 1934, bank
robbers Clyde Barrow and
Bonnie Parker were shot
to death in a police
ambush.
On this date:
In 1701, William Kidd
was hanged in London
after he was convicted of
piracy and murder.

The Medicare Ponzi scheme
Isn’t it high time America did less for
the elderly? A politically incorrect question for sure. But Medicare has an
astounding $34-trillion unfunded liability. And because of rising unemployment,
its hospital-stay program will go broke
two years earlier than previously predicted.
For my recent ABC special “You
Can’t Even Talk About It,” I spoke with
residents of La Posada, a development in
Florida that made Forbes’s list of top 10
“ritzy” retirement communities. These
folks are well off. And they get a bonus:
You pay for most of their health care
under Medicare.
The retirees love it. Everyone likes
getting free stuff. And Medicare often
makes going to the doctor just about free.
Why is this a good thing?
“What about those young people [who
pick up the tab]? What kind of legacy are
we leaving for them?” asks Harvard
Business School Professor Regina
Herzlinger. “We’re really stealing from
them.”
Some high-school students are
alarmed about the scam. “20/20” interviewed a group that is willing to help
needy seniors — they volunteer at a food
bank — but they are angry that Medicare
forces them to pay for even wealthy seniors.
“This program, Medicare, is essentially ripping my generation off,” Zach
Hadaway said.
Policy experts say the kids are right.
“The government spends around $6 on
seniors for every dollar it spends on children, and yet the poverty rate among children is far higher,” said Andrew Biggs of
the American Enterprise Institute
(www.aei.org).
The federal government stiffs the
young in favor of the old.
So I told the La
Posada seniors that
the kids called them
“greedy
geezers.”
They said, “We’ve
paid
our
dues.”
Money was taken
from every paycheck
they earned.
But, in fact, the
average
Medicare
beneficiary today colJohn
lects two to three
Stossel
times more money
than he paid in.
“I would argue that this is not only
unfair, it’s downright immoral,” says billionaire Pete Peterson.
Peterson is a rarity: a senior who
decided he cannot in good conscience
accept Medicare. He and his foundation
(www.pgpf.org) worry about the looming
fiscal disaster. When Medicare began in
1965, six working-aged people paid for
each Medicare recipient. Now the figure
is four. It will get worse as baby boomers
like me retire.
Medicare is unsustainable.
“There is $34 trillion sitting off the
balance sheet, waiting for future generations to pay,” Herzlinger said.
That’s how much more Medicare
money government has promised than it
has budgeted. It’s the price of about 30
Iraq Wars.
We locked up Bernie Madoff for running a Ponzi scheme. Medicare is a bigger one. Seniors think the money deducted from their paychecks was stored in a
trust fund. But, in fact, it was spent immediately. The “trust fund” is an accounting
gimmick.
The giant seniors’ lobbying group,
AARP, rarely talks about Medicare’s
coming bankruptcy, and it rejects reforms
like means-testing or raising the eligibility age, claiming most problems can be
solved simply by lowering health-care
costs.
“Do things like make better use of
health information technology,” David
Certner, AARP’s director of legislative
policy, told me.
The Congressional Budget Office says
such reforms won’t save much money.
“Well, they’re going to have to,”
Certner said.
That sounds like wishful thinking —
not unusual among powerful lobbies that
ignore basic economics. When something
is free for one group, demand runs wild,
pushing up prices for those who must pay
for themselves and the subsidized group.
On top of that, the demographic problem Peterson emphasizes won’t go away,
no matter how cleverly the “fix health
care” argument tries to bury it. Fewer
workers per retiree means shrinking
Medicare tax revenues — period — even
if health-care costs are flat.
“Ultimately, somebody’s going to
have to give up some medical treatment
they’d been getting,” Peterson says.
Our group of seniors had second
thoughts after we spoke. “I hear what the
kids are saying,” a man said, “When they
get to be our age, there may not be any
Medicare.”
“Tell them to change the law,” one
said. “If the kids can get the votes, then
they can get it done.”
Fat chance. The elderly vote on
Medicare.
Most young people don’t even know
they’re getting ripped off.

Victim: Drowning
A medical examiner at the
state crime lab in Atlanta did
not immediately return a
phone call Friday afternoon.
Whitfield County Coroner
Bobbie Dixon said the report
came back “negative on
drugs,” that the cause of
death was drowning and the
manner of death was “undetermined.”
Thomason, who was
drinking underage, went on
the boating trip on Feb. 19
with two friends who are students at Southeast High
School — Macie Hinman
and Collin Parrish, who were
16 and 15 at the time.
Thomason continued downstream after he let them out
of his jon boat after dark near
Riverbend Road in south
Whitfield County. Thomason
was found in a brush pile a
month after he went missing.
Hundreds of friends, community members and law
enforcement
workers
searched for Thomason on
land and on the river.
Capt. Carroll Chastain, a
Department of Natural
Resources regional supervisor in Calhoun, said beer
cans were found near where
Thomason’s
boat
was
beached, but it could not be
determined if they belonged
to him or his friends. Major
John Gibson with the
Whitfield County Sheriff’s
Office said an investigation
has been completed into who
bought
the
beer
for
Thomason and possibly his
underage friends that day,
but he declined to give a
name or say whether the
friends were also drinking.
He said the next step would
be to present the evidence,
including interviews, to the
district attorney’s office.
Parrish took a polygraph
test less than a week after
Thomason went missing, but
Hinman refused to take the
test on the advice of her
attorney, Todd Ray. Ray was
out of town Friday and was
unavailable for comment. A
GBI official said results of
Parrish’s polygraph would
not be released.
Massey believes her son’s
drinking was a “one-time
thing that cost Brett his life.”
“It was never a problem in
his life,” Massey said. “He
was in church and had been
baptized. He did well in
school and had a 3.0 average,
and was going to college to
be a teacher. But he was
going into the Marines on
April 3, and I think this was
like a celebration and adventure to him. It wasn’t that he
drank all the time. He was a
good kid.”
Massey had advice for
young people.
“I want other kids to
know that this can happen to
them,”
Massey
said.
“Teenagers want to have fun,
but things like this can happen as a result. I guess they
think they can live forever —
I don’t know. But I hope it
can get their attention.”
Thomason’s stepmother,
Stephanie Thomason, said
she saw him walking to the
river on that fateful day.
“I asked him, ‘Where’s
your coat and your hat and
your flashlight?’” Thomason
recalled. “He threw his hands
up and said, ‘I’m good,
Steph.’ I didn’t know they
had beer.”
She said Brett was “a very
good kid” who made a tragic
mistake.
“He went to church but
made a bad decision, and it
ended up costing him his
life,” Thomason said. “But
we’re thankful to the community and all the officers
who put in so much time
searching for them, and for
everyone’s prayers.”
She said her husband and
Brett’s
father,
Tim
Thomason, are starting an
alcohol and drug awareness
class for young people at
their church. Tim Thomason
did not immediately return a
phone call on Friday.
On
Easter
Sunday,
Winston “Bo” Hackney
went missing while fishing
on the Conasauga in the
Brown Bridge Road area of
southwestern
Murray
County. Authorities found
him on April 17 while dragging the river almost two
miles from where he was last
seen fishing, an apparent
drowning victim. A report
from the state crime lab for
Hackney has not been completed.

Boating and alcohol a possible $1,000 fine Dad gets 100 years
for poisoning soup
SUBMITTED BY THE
GEORGIA DEPARTMENT
NATURAL RESOURCES
OF
The Georgia Department
of Natural Resources and
TEAM Georgia, a safe and
sober driving and boating
coalition, are reminding
people to refrain from
drinking alcohol while
operating a boat or personal
watercraft.
Alcohol, mixed with
boating activities, creates
dangerous conditions that
can lead to tragedy. Last
year, conservation rangers
made 215 boating under the
influence arrests on Georgia
waterways and responded to
18 alcohol-related boating
incidents.
“It is not illegal to have
alcohol in an open container
on a boat, nor is it illegal for
a person operating a boat to
drink, provided they are no
less safe,” said Lt. Col. Jeff
Weaver, DNR assistant
chief of law enforcement.
“However, if a person is
over the age of 21 and has a
blood alcohol content of .10
or higher, they are presumed to be less safe and
may be charged with boating under the influence.”
The marine environment,
such as waves, engine
noise, water, sun and wind,
accelerates impairment and
fatigue in recreational
boaters. This can quickly
become a hazardous situation when such fatigue is
combined with the effects
of alcohol.
Alcohol affects a boat
operator’s
coordination
skills, judgment and reaction time. The consumption
of alcohol causes inner ear
disturbances, affecting the
balance and ability of an
intoxicated person who falls
overboard to determine the
correct route to the water’s
surface. Alcohol also creates a false sense of warmth
in a person and may prevent
someone from feeling the
effects of hypothermia
before it’s too late.
People arrested for BUI
may lose their privilege to
operate a boat. These privileges are not reinstated until
the successful completion
of an approved Driving
Under the Influence of
Alcohol or Drug Use Risk
Reduction Program. The
offender will be charged
with a misdemeanor, punishable with up to a $1,000
fine and/or up to 12 months
in prison.
The BUI law establishes
a “zero tolerance” blood
alcohol level of .02 for peo-
ple under age 21 who are
operating a boat. Minors
who are arrested for BUI
will face misdemeanor
charges. The law also creates misdemeanor offenses
for “endangering a child” if
a boat operator transports a
child under age 14 while
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Furthermore,
this law also allows for the
revocation of boat operator
privileges for people who
refuse a sobriety test and/or
peoplewho have a blood,
breath or urine test that
shows the presence of illegal drugs or an alcohol level
of .10 or higher.
“Operating a boat is as
complicated as driving a
car, and a boating incident
is as dangerous as an automobile accident,” said Ron
Fennel, chairman of TEAM
Georgia. “However, many
people who would never
drive a car intoxicated think
it is okay to operate their
boat
after
drinking.
Operating a boat while
intoxicated is illegal and
hazardous to themselves
and others on the water.”
To help DNR keep
waterways safe, TEAM
Georgia’s
2009
Safe
Boating Campaign will
reward those who register
as a designated sober operator with a chance to win
prizes. To register on-line,
visit www.teamgeorgia.net.
Plan ahead to enjoy a
great day of boating without
alcohol. Take along plenty
of food and a variety of
drinks, such as water,
lemonade, softdrinks or
non-alcoholic beer. Plan to
limit the time of your trip to
avoid becoming fatigued. If
it is known in advance that
alcohol will be present, designate a driver, both on the
boat and back at the ramp,
and ensure that all passengers are wearing life jackets.

JONESBORO (AP) — A Georgia man was sentenced
to 100 years in prison for poisoning his two children to
extort money from Campbell Soup Co.
William Cunningham was sentenced Thursday after a
jury found him guilty of five counts of cruelty to children
and two counts of aggravated assault, said Kellie Perry, a
clerk at the Clayton County Superior Court.
The girl and boy, then 18 months old and 3 years old,
were hospitalized after Cunningham fed them soup tainted
with prescription drugs and lighter fluid.
On one occasion, authorities said he used the prescription drugs Prozac and Amitriptyline — both used to treat
depression — to poison the children.
Cunningham was arrested in March 2006. According to
prosecutors, the former dump truck driver called Campbell
in January 2006 and threatened to sue the company
because its soup was contaminated. He pleaded guilty in
2007 to a federal charge of making false claims against the
company.
Authorities said there was no evidence the soup was
tainted when it was purchased. A family member said the
children may suffer lifelong respiratory problems after
swallowing the poisoned soup.
The children’s mother, Rhonda Cunningham, filed for
divorce during the case.

Man sentenced to death in trail killing Credit: New rules
DALLAS, Ga. (AP) — A convicted
rapist found guilty of sexually assaulting and murdering a 54-year-old mother
along a suburban Atlanta bike trail was
sentenced to death Friday.
A Paulding County jury ended a fiveday penalty phase at Michael Ledford’s
trial with a unanimous recommendation
that he should die for the July 2006 slaying of Jennifer Ewing of Sandy Springs.
Superior Court Judge James Osborne
set Ledford’s execution date between
July 1 and July 8, but that is automatically stayed because Georgia law
requires an appeal of death sentences.
Ewing’s husband, James, said it was
the “right sentence.”
“It’s been tough for our family,” said
Ewing, who stood with his three children as they struggled to hold back
tears. “Michael Ledford has been held
accountable for what he did.”
Police said Ledford, 46, ambushed
Ewing as she biked along the Silver
Comet Trail, a former railroad bed from
Smyrna to Alabama that has been paved
for bikers and hikers.
Prosecutors say Ewing tried to fight
off her attacker, but Ledford beat her to
death and then dumped her naked body
in bushes off the trail.
The jury took about 90 minutes to
reach the guilty verdict Monday on
charges of murder, aggravated battery,
kidnapping and aggravated sodomy.
The panel began deliberations shortly after attorneys for both sides delivered their closing arguments in the
penalty phase.
“Nobody’s going to be safe. He’s
going to continue to prey on people,”
District Attorney Drew Lane told jurors.
“Death is the only appropriate punishment.”
Lane cited Ledford’s criminal record,
which included a 10-year prison term
for rape and several other attacks on
women.
Defense attorney Tom West acknowledged the crime was “horrible” but
asked for mercy.

the millions of Americans, trying to get out of debt has been
made difficult and bewildering
by their credit card companies.
Nearly 80 percent of
Americans have credit cards
and half of those carry a balance, according to the White
House. The Federal Reserve
estimates the nation is some
$2.5 trillion in debt, a figure
that does not include home
mortgages.
Obama said many people
have gotten “trapped” because
of the downturn in the economy that has turned family
budgets on their heads. But, he
said, “part of it is the practices
of the credit card companies.”
He criticized policies that
allowed for confusing fine
print; the sudden appearance
of unexplained fees on bills;
unannounced shifts in payment deadlines, interest
charges or rate increases even
when payments aren’t late;
and payments directed to balances with the lowest interest
rates rather than the highest.
“We’re here to put a change
to all that,” Obama said.
One part of the bill Obama
did not publicly celebrate at
the signing, a gun amendment.
The measure by Sen. Tom
Coburn, R-Okla., allows people to bring loaded guns into
national parks and wildlife
refuges.
The addition of the amendment to the bill — and
Obama’s acceptance of it —
was viewed as a bitter disappointment for gun-control
advocates.
They watched gun-rights
supporters gain a victory from
a
Democratic-controlled
Congress and a Democratic
president that they couldn’t
achieve under a Republican
Congress and president. Many
blamed the National Rifle
Association, which pushed
hard for the gun law.
Democrats lawmakers and
aides said they didn’t have
enough time to send the bill to
the House-Senate conference
committee — where the gun
provision could have been
removed without a vote —
and still get the bill to Obama
by the Memorial Day weekend as he requested.
The new credit card rules,
which go into effect in nine
months, prohibit companies
from giving cards to people
under 21 unless they can prove
they have the means to pay the
debt or a parent or guardian
co-signs. A customer also will
have to be more than 60 days
behind on a payment before
seeing a rate increase on an
existing balance. Even then,
the lender will be required to
restore the previous, lower rate
if the cardholder pays the minimum balance on time for six
months.
And consumers also will
have to receive 45 days’
notice and an explanation
before their interest rates
increase.
Despite being touted as a
victory for consumers, financial experts said the bill
could have unintended consequences as credit card
companies look for ways to
make up for potential lost
revenue. Those measures
could include more cards
with annual fees and the loss
of a grace period before
interest accrues, which
would affect even those consumers who pay off their balance each month.

T
he circus is in town! Excitement awaits under the big top.
Animals, acrobats, jugglers, clowns … it’s show time!
In the center ring the juggler has many balls in the air. His moves
appear so effortless, but require hours of preparation of mind, body
and spirit.
Some people appear to glide easily through life, juggling many
activities with ease. With practice, you can join them. Prepare for
each day with prayer and the knowledge of God’s will for your life.
Be further strengthened each week with worship and fellowship in
God’s house. Come one, come all!

PREP FOOTBALL: SOUTHEAST SPRING GAME
Aerial circus still wows ’em
McCutchen leads
assault by offense
BY ADAM KROHN
[email protected]
It wasn’t a conventional football game played at Southeast,
but it was football.
And Friday’s scrimmage at Raider Field, dubbed “Raider
Bowl II” still generated the excitement of a regular-season
game, with roughly 200 Southeast faithful in attendance to see
offense beat the defense, 39-12.
The quarterback-receiver tandem of
Tanner McCutchen and David Rayborn, one
of the Raiders’ newest additions, was the
difference.
Rayborn only caught two passes but one
was a 55-yard touchdown for the scrimmage’s day’s biggest play. He finished with
67 receiving yards.
McCutchen, who will be a senior this
season, was throwing sharp, crisp passes
Crane
and moving around comfortably in the
pocket, finishing with 103 passing yards and two touchdowns
on 9-for-18 passing and receivers dropped five passes.
McCutchen added 32 rushing yards on five carries.
Rayborn, a 6-foot-4-inch tight end/receiver, will be a sophomore this season. After spending last season on the junior varsity team, he could play a key role in this year’s passing attack.
“I’m definitely ready,” Rayborn said. “Me and Tanner work
great together. He throws well and I catch well, so we should
score some more touchdowns this year and hopefully get some
wins. I dropped some passes, but I can’t be perfect. I’ve just got
to work hard on getting faster and stronger.”

Williams leads White victory
BY LARRY FLEMING

CHATSWORTH — Quarterback Austin
Williams got off to a sizzling start in Murray
County’s Green and White spring scrimmage
Friday night. And then defensive lineman
Cameron Holcomb accidentally rolled over
on Williams’ knee in the second quarter.
Williams went to the sideline where he sat
out the rest of the quarter and came back out
after halftime walking with crutches.
“It’s just a precaution,” Williams said.
“The trainer said it’s a bruise and nothing
real serious. I’ll stay off of it for a few days
and go to the doctor on Tuesday.”
Williams completed his first six passes and
hooked up with wideout Luke Mealer on a 9yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter
for the game’s only score as the White defeated the Green, 7-0, at Murray Field.

Quarterback Reheem Adams, playing for the Green team, tries to make a pitch
to a trailing runnng back but is already down after being tackled by Keith
Miller of the White squad in Murray County’s spring game in Chatsworth.
Indians: Guerrero rumbles
and we’re going to work almost every day
this summer to get better.”
The Williams-Mealer duo hooked up
four times for 37 yards on the White’s 83yard, 12-play touchdown drive on its second
possession. The first White drive ended on
the third play when Williams fumbled. The
drive started with Williams throwing a 12yard strike to Mealer.
“Austin threw the ball well,” Indians
coach John Zeigler said. “And Luke did a
good job catching the ball.”
Williams appears to have the inside track
on the starting quarterback job for the
upcoming season as the Indians try to
reverse their football fortunes of a 1-29
record over the last three seasons.
“Nobody has come right out and said I’m
the starter, but I’m not worried about someone taking my spot,” Williams said. “I’m
still going to work hard this summer.”
Williams was hurt while throwing a pass
on a third-and-18 play near midfield.
Williams went down in a cluster of players
and later said Holcomb rolled over his front
(left) knee.
“And Cameron is a big old boy,”
Williams said of the 6-foot-2-inch, 220
pound Holcomb.
Conducting his first spring game after
succeeding Josh Lowe as the head coach,
Zeigler had mixed emotions about the
Indians’ performance.
“I was disappointed with our enthusiasm
and intensity in the first half,” he said. “I
was happy with how they played in the
fourth quarter. They finally decided to play
some football.”
A couple of brief skirmishes broke out in
the final 12-minute segment of the scrimmage and that helped Zeigler leave the stadium with better feeling about intense play.
“I shouldn’t have to chew you out for
that to happen though,” Zeigler told his
players. “We did some good things out there
although we didn’t score a lot of points.
That could be bad for the offense, or it could
mean the defense is getting better. But we’re
putting in a new offense and that unit is
behind the defense right now.”
The Green’s Tyler Timms, a defensive
lineman, was in top form the entire game.
Timms had back-to-back tackles in the
White’s touchdown drive, sacked Williams
on consecutive plays late in the second quarter and recovered a fumble near game’s end.
“I felt good,” Timms said. “I’ve had a
good spring. Tonight I wanted to show the
coaches and everybody else that I’m for real
this year.”
Running back Mickey Guerrero led the
White’s ground attack with 91 yards on 10
carries. He got 42 yards on six tries in the
fourth quarter alone. Fullback D.J. Winters
had 46 yards on four carries in the first two
quarters.
The White defense held the Green
offense to 18 yards rushing and 24 passing.
Dustin Anderson led the Green with 20
yards on eight carries. The White gained
170 yards on the ground and 59 through the
air.
Ben Crump punted for both teams and
averaged 40 yards on eight kicks.
NOTE: Senior nose tackle Brad Dillard
has been dealing with the death of his
grandmother, Bernice Dillard, of Ellijay.
She passed away on May 13 and Dillard
missed practices last Thursday and Friday.
“It was a tiring week last week, but I
pushed through,” Dillard said.
Dillard played nose tackle his sophomore season and switched to offensive right
guard for the 2008 season. Now, he’s back
at nose tackle.
“It’s a key position because you’re right
in front of the center,” the 5-foot-10-inch,
298-pound Dillard said. “The first thing you
do is try to knock the center off the ball and
mess up the whole play.”
Lions: Confident of victory
Heritage’s junior catcher. “He can place the
ball.”
Wednesday’s practice had the Lions facing Jeremy Cameron, a lefthander and former No. 1 starter for Berry College, in
preparation for Duffie. Cameron is a friend
of Lions assistant Matthew Thomas, and
Christian Heritage has used him to get ready
for other lefties this season, too.
The Lions have already seen Duffie
twice this year, so they’ll try to put that
knowledge to use.
“He’s in the mid-80s, probably and
mixes in a good curveball,” Lions coach
Noah Stokes said.
And the Lions will take their swings at
Duffie with an all-righty lineup. Jarred
Cronan, a senior and the team’s only lefthander, injured his throwing shoulder during last week’s quarterfinals in a baserunning mishap and isn’t expected to play in
the semifinals.
That means Christian Heritage’s pitching
staff will be thinner, too. Gray Hutchinson
is expected to start Game 1, with Landon
McClure handling Game 2.
“Beyond that, I don’t know,” Stokes said.
“We’ve got to get through Game
1.Sometimes you’ve got to get a guy and,
small school, you don’t have a bullpen sitting down there, you just kind of pull one
from left field or one from short, whoever
you think is ready to go.”
Heritage beat the Lions twice this season
— 4-1 in Newnan and 9-7 in Dalton, with
both games played about three weeks ago
— on the way to the region title and a No. 1
seed for the state playoffs. The Hawks, who
finished second last season, have swept both
of their opponents in the first two rounds of
this year’s playoffs, Brentwood and
Bulloch, outscoring them 36-13.
But despite entering the playoffs as a No.
4 seed a year after being eliminated in the
first round, Christian Heritage hasn’t had
much trouble finding its way to the semifinals, either. The Lions have done all their
damage on the road, winning a first-round
series at Nathanael Greene before sweeping
Valwood last week in the quarterfinals.
“We always knew that we had the ability,” Ward said. “We knew it would take hard
work, but we’ve come out and worked to
make it this far. Our pitching’s good, we’re
making the easy plays and we’re putting the
ball in play. We’ve been doing that pretty
good here lately. That’s what’s really gotten
us here.”
In just its second season as a GISA member, Christian Heritage is making a serious
bid for a state title. And the Lions don’t
seem surprised that the Hawks, ranked No.
1 by Class 2A coaches, are an obstacle
they’d have to clear sooner or later to make
that happen.
The question is, how high will the Lions
have to jump?
“It’s going to be a challenge,” Stokes
said. “They don’t think we can beat them,
I’m sure, because nobody else has beat
them in our region.
“But we think we can. We’re playing as
good as we can play. It certainly hurts not to
have Jarred, but we’ve got a chance and
that’s all we can ask for.”
The baseball Lions join their football and
boys basketball counterparts in conquering
deep playoff territory this season. Christian
Heritage’s football team, which competes in
the Georgia Football League, won that organization’s championship in November. In
February, the basketball team advanced to
the GISA Class 2A semis for the second
consecutive year before losing.
Derrick Hayes, the Lions’ senior second
baseman, said with several young players
on the roster, the team’s expectations
weren’t particularly high at the start of the
season.
That has obviously changed.
“Halfway through the season, we’ve just
played well,” he said. “Especially in the
playoffs. We’ve hit our stride. Everybody’s
contributing to the team, everybody’s hitting the ball.”
The winner of this series faces either
Edmund Burke or Tiftarea in next weekend’s state title matchup. If Christian
Heritage wins, it will travel regardless of the
opponent.
nine points for a defensive
touchdown.
With a running clock and
only a five-minute halftime,
it took just 51 minutes to
play four 12-minute quarters.
Crane liked what he saw
from his team on both sides
of the ball.
“The offensive execution
was very sharp the first two
possessions,” Crane said.
“They scored on their first
two possessions and Tanner
threw good and had good
protection. Then the defense
responded and took the
offense out of rhythm. They
battled and got a couple of
turnovers.”
The offense scored their
first touchdown of the game
7:45 into the first quarter on
McCutchen’s 1-yard pass to
Zach Harper. McCutchen’s
19-yard pass to Jeremy
Bishop on the previous play
set up the touchdown.
Harper finished the game
with two catches for 17 yards
and Bishop three for 35.
Rayborn’s
touchdown
catch, followed by Carlos
Ojeda’s extra point, gave the
offense a 20-1 lead after one
quarter.
But the defense came
alive in the second quarter
and recovered two fumbles
within five minutes. Both
fumbles came from receivers
after a catch.
“We’ll have to work on
ball security with the
receivers,” Crane said. “But
there were no interceptions
from any of the quarterbacks,
and no fumbles from the quarterbacks or running backs.”
The last touchdown of the
game on Cody Burch’s 14yard run at the end of the
third quarter. Burch, who
will be a sophomore, led the
Raiders with 74 rushing
yards on six carries.
Other notable offensive
performers were running
backs Chaston Love (five
carries, 33 yards) and
receivers Trey Upshaw (five
catches, 33 yards) and Alex
Tipton (three catches, 19
yards). Reserve quarterback
Levi Sams finished with 104
yards on 10-for-12 passing
and added 22 rushing yards
on two carries.
The defense was led by
end Christian Perez and
Tanner Phipps. Perez, who
will be a senior, finished with
two sacks and two tackles for
loss. Phipps led the team
with five tackles, two forced
fumbles and two tackles for
loss.
“The defense played
well,” defensive coordinator
Chad Brewer said. “We had a
great spring game. A lot of
kids played and now we’ve
got some film on them to
study. We’ve still got a lot to
work on, but we’re getting
better everyday. We’re going
to watch the film and fix
what we need to so we’ll be
ready to play Northwest
(Whitfield) in the opener.”
The Raiders will take next
week off for final exams,
then hit the weight room for
the first two weeks of June.
They will start 7-on-7 drills
on June 16.

Kawakami gave up only
two hits through seven scoreless innings before Scott
Rolen led off the eighth with
a double to left. Rolen was
left standing at second as
Lyle Overbay grounded out
to Kawakami, Rod Barajas
hit a fly to shallow right
field, and pinch-hitter Joe
Inglett struck out.
Kawakami, who had lost
five of his last six decisions
and entered the game with a
5.73 ERA, looked to be an
unlikely bet to keep pace with
Halladay, the 2003 Cy Young
winner who was looking to
win his sixth straight start.
Kawakami, a 33-year-old
rookie, did not last more than
six innings in any of his first
seven starts, but he looked
strong against the Blue Jays
after limiting his pitch count
early in the game.
Kawakami struck out the
side in the sixth inning and
again retired the Blue Jays in
order in the seventh.
Halladay kept pace by
pitching out of trouble in the
first and fourth innings.
The Braves had runners
on first and third in the first
following
singles
by
Kotchman
and
Brian
McCann, but Kelly Johnson
took a called third strike to
end the threat.
Garret Anderson and

but

field ended the inning.

King James wins it
with buzzer-beater
BY TOM WITHERS
Associated Press
CLEVELAND
—
LeBron James made a
fadeaway 3-pointer over
Orlando’s Hedo Turkoglu
as the final horn sounded
Friday night to give the
Cleveland Cavaliers a 9695 victory over the
Orlando Magic that evened
the Eastern Conference
finals at one game apiece.
From 23 feet — matching his jersey number —
James made a shot unlike
any before in Cleveland
history.
Taking the inbounds
pass from Mo Williams,
James only had time to
turn his shoulders toward
the rim and fire. As the
shot dropped in, James
sprinted into the arms of
his teammates as 20,562
stunned fans hugged in
disbelief.
Turkoglu hit a jumper
with 1 second remaining
to give the Magic a 95-93
lead.
Game 3 is Sunday
night in Orlando.

exposed,
it
might
seem
impossible for
South to make
three notrump.
After an opening spade lead,
it appears East
must get five
tricks — four
spades and the
king of hearts
—
before
declarer can get
nine. But South
found a way to
make his contract,
and,
what’s more,
the opponents
couldn’t do anything to stop him.
When dummy was tabled, declarer could count eight top
tricks — a spade, a heart, four diamonds and two clubs. The
only chance for a ninth appeared to lie in scoring a trick
with the queen of hearts. The trouble with this was that if
South at any point led a heart toward his queen, East —
who was marked with the king for his opening bid —
would take the king and run off enough spades to set the
contract.
Declarer’s first impulse was to try to endplay East by
stripping him of diamonds and clubs prior to throwing him
in with a spade to force a lead from the king of hearts. But
he rejected this approach — rightly, as it turned out —
because he thought there was too good a chance that West
could win the third spade and thereby take his partner off
the endplay.
Another possibility existed, however, and this was the
one South chose. He held up the ace of spades until the
third round, discarding a heart from dummy, then cashed
four diamond tricks. East discarded a club on the third diamond, but ran into serious trouble on the fourth. He could
not afford to throw a heart or a spade, so he discarded
another club.
The situation South had hoped for thus came to pass.
The A-K and another club were now played, losing to
West’s jack and establishing dummy’s seven of clubs as
declarer’s ninth trick. After winning the third club, West
returned a heart, but South put up the ace and cashed his
good club to put the final touch on a well-played hand.

Cigarette makers lose
appeal in landmark case
WASHINGTON (AP) —
A federal appeals court on
Friday agreed with the major
elements of a 2006 landmark
ruling that found the nation’s
top tobacco companies guilty
of racketeering and fraud for
deceiving the public about the
dangers of smoking.
A three-judge panel of the
U.S. Court of Appeals in
Washington
unanimously
upheld requirements that manufacturers change the way they
market cigarettes. The requirements, which have been on
hold pending appeal, would
ban labels such as “low tar,”
“light,” “ultra light” or “mild,”
since such cigarettes have been
found no safer than others.
Throughout the 10 years
the case has been litigated,
tobacco companies have
denied committing fraud. The
companies argued the ban on
labels like “light” would cost
them hundreds of millions of
dollars.
Philip Morris USA and its
parent company, Altria Group
Inc., said they will appeal to
the Supreme Court.
“The court’s conclusions
are not supported by the law or
the evidence presented at trial,
and we believe the exceptional
importance of these issues justifies further review,” Altria
attorney Murray Garnick said
in a statement.
Matthew L. Myers, president of the Campaign for
Tobacco-Free Kids, one of six
health advocacy groups that
participated in the lawsuit, said
the appeals decision “represents a dramatic victory for
public health and an emphatic
condemnation of the tobacco
industry and its behavior.”
The government filed the
civil case under a 1970 racketeering law commonly known
as RICO, used primarily to
prosecute mobsters in cases in
which there has been a group
effort to commit fraud.
The suit was first filed in
1999 during the Clinton
administration and pursued by
the Bush administration after
unsuccessful attempts to settle.
The nine-month trial
heard by U.S. District Judge
Gladys Kessler without a
jury included live and written testimony from 246 witnesses and almost 14,000
exhibits
in
evidence.
Prosecutors said the companies secretly agreed not to
compete over whose products were the least hazardous
to smokers to ensure they
didn’t have to publicly
address the harm caused by
smoking.
BLAIRSVILLE — In
1937, 19-year-old Murl
Garoutte left his home in
Marionville, Mo., boarding a
steam engine train bound for
the Nevada desert to join 3
million other young men
mobilized across the nation
in the “Tree Army.”
As a member of the
Civilian Conservation Corps,
Garoutte and the other uniformed “boys” of the CCC
helped build many of the
park trails, roads, reservoirs
and canals that remain in use
today.
“It was dry, dry, dry out in
that desert in Nevada,”
Garoutte, who now lives in
Gainesville,
recalled
Saturday. “It rained about a
quarter of an inch and that
was our spring rain. It was
hard work, but at that age, it
didn’t matter.” Saturday at
Vogel State Park, 16 former
Tree Army boys gathered
with their families for
Georgia’s only remaining
reunion of the CCC, one of
the Roosevelt administration’s “New Deal” work programs that provided jobs for
unemployed young men and
sent money back home to
their families in the midst of
the Great Depression.
The bulk of their work
was outdoors, with 10 state
parks built by the CCC in
Georgia alone, including
Vogel.
While more than 78,000
Georgians ages 18 to 25
enrolled in the CCC between
1933 and 1942, probably
fewer than 300 are still living
today, estimated Connie
Huddleston, a historian and
author of “Georgia’s Civilian
Conservation Corps.”
Ed Smith of Cornelia
recalled why he left home to
live in temporary barracks
with 200 strangers, living on
a diet of potatoes and beans
and earning $1 a day, with
$25 of his $30 monthly pay

J.L. Wilson looks over a display in the Civilian
Conservation Corps museum at Vogel State Park in
Georgia. Wilson was attending a reunion of men
who worked in the CCC during the Depression. He
was one of 16 former “Tree Army boys” gathered
with their families for Georgia’s only remaining
reunion of the CCC, one of the Roosevelt administration’s New Deal work programs that provided
jobs for unemployed young men and sent money
back home to their families in the midst of the Great
Depression.
being sent back to his parents
by the government.
“At that time, it was a
necessity,” Smith said.
Carl Henson of Ellijay
spent more than three years
in the CCC, clearing brush
and building roads in forest
land. The pay he earned was
essential for his family’s survival.
“They needed the money
to put something on the
table,” Henson said.
Not all CCC members
joined out of necessity.
C.H. Brown of Lithonia
enrolled in the CCC near the
program’s end in 1942 at age
15, lying about his age with
his parents’ consent.
“I did it just for the
adventure,” said Brown, the
son of a successful freight
agent from Trion. He was
working alongside young
men much less fortunate.
“Most of them were poor
farm boys,” Brown recalled.
“A lot of them were so
homesick they cried themselves to sleep. For me, it
was a great lesson in respon-
sibility and made me grow
up fast. I was an adult at 15.”
At 82, Brown is probably
the youngest of Georgia’s
surviving CCC boys.

THE DAILY CITIZEN
AUTO RACING: COCA-COLA 600
Stewert seeking first-of-a-kind win
BY MARK LONG
at Indy again, he believes getting there will take a bigger
commitment than he has time
for these days.
“It’s a scenario where you
can’t just show up and get in one
of those things anymore and be
good in them,” said Stewart, the
1997 Indy Racing League champion. “To really put together an
effort to not just try to make the
Indy 500 but try to win the Indy
500 you have to start the season
with a team and run through the
Indy 500 if you’re even going to
have a shot at it.”
Stewart drove both the Indy
500 and the Coca-Cola 600 on
the same day in 2001, a grueling
1,100-mile odyssey that included
a plane ride, intravenous fluids,
an early spin and two top-10 finishes. He hasn’t entered the 500
since — it’s impossible to race
both now because Indy’s start
CONCORD, N.C. — Tony
Stewart has team co-owner Gene
Haas in town, teammate Ryan
Newman on the pole and both of
his World of Outlaws drivers racing at a nearby dirt track.
No doubt, Stewart has
enough distractions to keep him
from thinking about his favorite
race, the Indy 500, or last year’s
frustrating finish in the CocaCola 600.
At least for a bit.
“My dream of running Indy
and winning Indy is still there,”
said Stewart, who’s still looking
for his first victory during
Memorial Day weekend. “It’s
never going away.”
Although the two-time
NASCAR champion and former
open-wheel star hopes to race
time has changed — and isn’t
sure when it will happen again.
Stewart would gladly settle
for a win in the 600, NASCAR’s
longest race and one of the
sport’s crown jewels.
No one would be surprised to
see him in Victory Lane, either.
Stewart, second in the Sprint
Cup standings, is coming off his
first win as an owner/driver with
Stewart-Haas Racing. He won last
week’s All-Star race at Lowe’s
Motor Speedway in front of Haas,
who was at the track for the first
time since completing a 16-month
federal prison term for tax fraud.
But Stewart has never won a
race on Memorial Day weekend.
His best finish in five starts at
the Indy 500 was fifth in 1997,
and he’s 0-for-10 at the CocaCola 600. Last year’s race near
Charlotte was the most disheartening one of them all, too.
Stewart was leading the race
with three laps to go when he flattened a tire. Kasey Kahne zipped
by Stewart as he drove onto pit
road and cruised to the win.
Stewart wound up 18th,
stormed into his hauler and
kicked at the cabinets.
He’s much calmer these days,
and for good reason.
“It is something that was supposed to be so stressful to do this
this year, to take this on,” Stewart
said. “It was supposed to add
stress, but it has actually taken
stress away. I don’t understand
why. I don’t really have a good
answer for it.
“I haven’t had this much fun
for a long time. I guess it is a situation that you see with pro athletes all the time. Just sometimes
you need a change, and this was
a change that apparently I needed
and didn’t realize.”
