Remember
the cost of
freedom
FROM STAFF REPORTS
More than 50 years later, Dot
Vinsant can still remember when
her husband Cain’s Tennessee
National Guard unit was mobilized during the Korean War.
“The train came from Memphis
and went all the way to Bristol and
picked up the soldiers in each
town, and they were hanging out
the windows saying goodbye,” she
recalled. “There was weeping and
wailing and gnashing of teeth
when they left, and the parents and
the wives and the children were
still standing there as the train
left.”
Vinsant was one of several
wives of veterans who spoke to
The Daily Citizen recently. They
were left behind to tend to the
home, the finances and take care
of the children while their husbands faced the sobering prospect
of dying in battle. On patriotic
holidays such as Memorial Day,
Vinsant said her thoughts always
go to the wives and families of
those in the military.
“I surely know how their hearts
hurt,” she said. “Our freedom is
not free. It cost something over the
years, and I’m afraid some of the
people coming up today don’t
understand that.”
In 1950, the Vinsants had been
married two years. Vinsant, who
now lives in Dalton, remained
behind in Chattanooga, while her
husband was sent first to
Massachusetts and then New York.
Though he was never sent to
Korea, he remained on active duty
for the next two years.
“I wrote him letters every day,”
she said. “I always had $5 worth
of change, and when he’d call,
he’d call collect and I’d put it in. I
don’t remember how long we
were able to talk, but it didn’t
seem like long.”
She worked in a cafeteria in
Chattanooga, but traveled north to
visit her husband as often as she
could.
“I’d work until I had a little
money and then I’d catch a bus on
Thursday morning, 1 a.m., and I
didn’t get there until Saturday

Dot Vinsant, of Dalton, looks at a photo of her now deceased
husband, Lemuel Cain Vinsant, which was taken in the 1950s
when he was mobilized during the Korean War.
afternoon,” she said. “I’d stay up
there until my money was gone,
then I’d come back home.”
To stay as long as she could,
Vinsant says she’d eat just one
meal a day.
“I did that two or three times,
and the last time I went, I stayed
six months. I got a job at a clothing store, and I was able to stay
until just before he got out,” she
said. “I came home first and got us
an apartment.”
Cain Vinsant, who passed away
last year, was very active in the
American Legion, serving many
years as commander in Dalton.
“He would go to Chattanooga
and pick up veterans and drive
them
to
(the
Veterans
Administration hospital) in
Murfreesboro,” she said. “He did
that every day for several years
after he retired.”
Dot Painter met her husband,
Floyd, in Ellijay in 1941. Shortly
after they met, he volunteered for
the Navy.
“I wrote a letter to him every
day,” she said. “It was a sad time.”
Two days after, he returned from
the war, the two were married.
Eileen Pangle was a young
woman in England during World
War II, when she met her husband,
William, who was in the U.S.
Army Air Forces. Because of the
war, many items were in short
supply.
“We were given very meager
rations, two ounces of butter a
week, half a cup of sugar,” she
said. “But we made do.”
So what was there for two
young people dating to do?

Wreck victim
identified
FROM STAFF REPORTS
Officials with the Georgia State
Patrol have identified the man who
died in a Saturday afternoon wreck
on I-75 as William V. Fitzgerald,
70, of Griffin.
Fitzgerald was driving “very
slowly” southbound near mile
marker 328, close to the
Carbondale exit, around 1:40 p.m.
when he was struck from behind by
a tractor-trailer. Fitzgerald’s car left
the interstate and hit two trees, an
operator with the Georgia State
Patrol said Saturday.
No charges are expected to be
filed.
A complete report was not immediately available Sunday evening.
Park offers summer nature program
BY MISTY WATSON

Challaghan Strickland, 6, of Marietta,
watches as a snake wraps around his
arm Sunday at the naturalist cabin at
Fort Mountain State Park.
Six-year-old Challaghan Strickland was sure
to let his family know he wasn’t afraid of reptiles as a snake wrapped around his arm Sunday
afternoon at Fort Mountain State Park in Murray
County.
“I’d never had a snake on my arm like that
before,” Challaghan said after the snake had
been placed back in its aquarium at the naturalist cabin. “When I grow up, I would like to build
habitats... for reptiles. I always liked animals
from the time I was a baby.”
Several children crowded in the cabin to get a
closer look at — and get their hands on —
many varieties of snakes, some native to north
Georgia and others aren’t.
The cabin is also home to several aquariums
containing fish and turtles. Butterfly collections,
snake skins, bee hives and several mounted animals are on display for visual aids as park ranger
Ruby Mitchell explains the many native species.
The cabin is open each Sunday afternoon
from 1 to 4 through Labor Day as part of the
summer naturalist program headed by Mitchell.
The summer program also includes a campfire
each Friday evening at 6 p.m. next to the lake,
and many activities each Saturday.
All activities connected to the program are
free, but park visitors must pay $5 to park.
Naturalist program
The summer naturalist program at Fort
Mountain State Park in Murray County
runs each weekend now through Labor
Day. Upcoming programs include flower
hikes, black bears, hiking safety, and
early American cooking with corn. There
is a campfire each Friday at 6 p.m. and a
concert each Saturday evening (times
vary). The naturalist cabin is open each
Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact the state park at (706)
422-1932 or visit the Web site, www.gastateparks.org/info/fortmt.
The program is geared toward the entire family, but is presented in a way children understand, Mitchell said.
Kim Strickland said her children, Challaghan
and 3-year-old Rory, have been excited all
weekend about the different activities.
Strickland and her husband, Michael, were
camping at the state park with their sons.
“I knew there was a concert, but I didn’t
know about all the other activities,” she said.
“The concert was amazing. We brought our lawn

DHS grad is new columnist for AJC
BY CHARLES OLIVER
[email protected]
Starting Thursday, there
will be a new face and a new
voice on the Atlanta JournalConstitution’s editorial page.
But the face will be a familiar one to many Dalton residents.
Kyle Wingfield, a 1997
graduate of Dalton High
School, was named the
newspaper’s new conservative columnist in April, following a worldwide search
to replace the retiring Jim
Wooten.
Wingfield says he’ll be an
advocate for smaller government.
“I’m in favor of limited
government and limited government intervention in the
marketplace, and I’m in
favor of individual liberty,”
he said. “Those two things
go hand in hand. Those are
the principles that guide me
no matter what issue I’m
looking at.”
Some of the work
Wingfield produced during
the search has already
appeared on the newspaper’s
Wingfield
Web site, www.ajc.com.
The search for the new
conservative columnist took
about two-and-half-months.
It started with an application
that asked for several mock
columns on various topics.
After going through about
200 applications, AJC executives called back 20 semifinalists, including Wingfield,
who was then working in
Europe.
“At that point I did a
videophone interview, and I
also did two additional
columns, which were published anonymously online.
I’m not sure if they were
published entirely or just
excerpted in the newspaper,”
he said.
AJC executives then
invited a handful of finalists
to Atlanta for interviews.
“I came to Atlanta and
wrote an additional column,
on deadline, which was not
published,” he said.
“It was a lot more thorough than any job application process I’ve been
through or even heard of,”
Wingfield added. “But it
generated a lot of interest. A
lot of people around town
knew that it was going on.”
Wingfield said he became
interested in journalism in
middle school.
“I wanted to be a sportscaster. But I started paying
attention and saw that many
of them were former athletes, and I quickly figured
out I was never going to be a
former athlete,” he recalled.
“I enjoyed writing, and I got
a lot of encouragement from
my teachers. So I decided to
look at the print side of journalism.
He
attended
the
University of Georgia and
after graduating worked for
The Associated Press in
Atlanta and Montgomery,
Ala.
He was then hired by the
Wall Street Journal as an editorial writer for its European
edition based in Brussels,
Belgium, where he was
working when he learned
about the AJC opening.
What was it like switching from reporting to opinion
writing?
“It was at least as steep a
learning curve and as much a
culture shock as going from
Alabama to Belgium,” he
said. “Some of the basic
skills are the same. You have
to do your reporting thoroughly, maybe even more
thoroughly since you are
presenting an argument on
an event or an issue. You
really have to understand
every single aspect of it or
you’ll get nailed by the
opposing argument pretty
quickly.”
“But it’s different style of
writing,” he added. “It was
the better part of a year
before I really felt comfortable, but now, it’s something
I really enjoy.”
He wrote about topics
ranging from international
trade and antitrust to British
politics. In addition, he was
responsible for a weekly column
called
“Business
Europe.”
He and his wife Emily
spent four and a half years in
Belgium before returning in
early May.
The AJC has cut circulation and gone through several rounds of layoffs over the
past few years. But he says
that doesn’t give him great
concern.
“If you look at newspaper
industry you’ve got to wonder about what’s going to
happen to it. That would be
true if I’d stayed at the Wall
Street Journal,” he said. “But
I believe there’s always
going to be a market for well
reported and well written
news, probably increasingly
so in the future, regardless of
the medium it’s in.”
He says the very public
and extensive search the AJC
did for a columnist shows
how management is dedicated to the post.
“It’s a position I feel they
value very highly,” he said.
Wooten, the newspaper’s
lone conservative voice, has
been with the AJC some 30
years, and Wingfield says
“it’s a little intimidating” to
be replacing him.
“He (Wooten) knows the
city and the state and the politics and the players as well
as anybody around. He has
been extremely helpful,”
Wingfield said. “It’s enormous shoes to fill. I’m not
going to pretend I can fill
them at once. It’s a job I’m
going to have to grow into.”
Wooten will keep his
Sunday column for at least
the next few weeks, but
Wingfield will eventually
pick that space up as well as
produce a column on a third
day that hasn’t been decided
yet. He’ll also be blogging
starting some time in June.
Wooten, who helped in
the search for his replacement, wrote that Wingfield is
“the real deal. This post is in
good hands.”
AJC editor Julia Wallace
wrote that Wingfield is
“provocative but not shrill.
He has a carefully informed
approach but also an ability
to offer fresh perspectives.”
Liberals ask how they lost Memorial: Nature: Program
gun, Guantanamo votes
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Frustrated liberals are asking
why a Democratic-controlled
Congress and White House
cannot manage to close the
Guantanamo prison or keep
new gun-rights laws from
passing.
After all, President Barack
Obama pledged to shut down
the military detention center
on Cuba for suspected terrorists. And Democratic control
of the government would suggest that any gun legislation
leads to tighter controls on
weapons, not expanded use.
Even as they grouse, however, liberal lawmakers
acknowledge that no one fac-
tor explains last week’s disappointing back-to-back votes
in Congress.
The Obama administration
is focused on other priorities,
they say. Party leaders don’t
want to endanger Democratic
lawmakers from conservative
districts by stressing divisive
issues such as gun control.
On Guantanamo, many
say, Obama and his allies
were caught napping as
Republicans stirred public
fears about relocating suspected terrorists.
Two votes in Congress last
Wednesday dismayed many
liberals and exposed the limits of their influence even
with Obama as president and
Democrats holding solid
majorities in both houses of
Congress.
The Senate voted 90-6 to
join the House in blocking the
transfer of any prisoners from
Guantanamo.
Also Wednesday, the
House voted overwhelmingly
to join the Senate in letting
people carry loaded guns in
national parks and wildlife
refuges. More than 100
House Democrats and 174
Republicans voted for the gun
measure, which was attached
to an Obama-backed bill
imposing new restrictions on
credit card companies.
Split threatens Republican ranks
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The conservative vs. moderate split threatening to rupture the Republican Party
played out across the airwaves Sunday, with moderates Colin Powell and Tom
Ridge denouncing shrill and
judgmental voices they say
are steering the party too far
right. Former Bush strategist
Karl Rove challenged Powell
to lay out his vision and
“back it up” by helping elect
Republicans.
At
stake
is
the
Republicans’ status as a
major party, Powell and
Ridge suggested.
“I believe we should build
on the base because the
nation needs two parties, two
parties debating each other.
But what we have to do is
debate and define who we are
and what we are and not just
listen to dictates that come
down from the right wing of
the party,” said Powell, the
nation’s top military officer
under President George H.W.
Bush and later secretary of
state for President George W.
Bush.
Former Vice President
Dick Cheney and conservative radio commentator Rush
Limbaugh have openly
mocked Powell as a
Republican in name only, citing his endorsement of
Democrat Barack Obama
over
Republican
John
McCain in last year’s presidential race.
Powell reaffirmed that he
is a solid Republican and said
the party must be more inclusive or risk giving Democrats
and independents the chance
to scoop up disaffected moderate Republicans.
Fellow Republican moderate Ridge, the former
Pennsylvania governor and
homeland security secretary
under George W. Bush, said
if the party wants “to restore
itself, not as a regional party,
but as a national party, we
have to be far less judgmental
about disagreements within
the party and far more judgmental about our disagreement with our friends on the
other side of the aisle.”
Former House Speaker
Newt Gingrich, a potential
presidential candidate in
2012, insisted he did not want
to pick a fight with Cheney.
But Gingrich offered this
advice: “I think Republicans
are going to be very foolish if
they run around deciding
they’re going to see how
much they can purge us down
to the smallest possible base.”
Rove, chief political
strategist for the younger
Bush, took the position that
“if
you
say
you’re
Republican,
you’re
Republican.” But he wanted
more than words from
Powell.

GEORGIA VIEWS
Vick can still
do much good
No one on two legs wanted Michael Vick in prison more
than we did.
The only thing more despicable than the star quarterback’s
lengthy record of arrogance and irresponsibility was his treatment of dogs — and the cavalier and even brutish manner in
which he dispatched with them when they weren’t as savage
a fighter as he required for his blood sport.
He lied to his friend and employer Arthur Blank, owner of
the Atlanta Falcons. He lied through his teeth to National
Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell about the dogfighting ring when it was but an allegation. He let down his
teammates, who depended on him to carry the team to greatness.
And worst of all, he disheartened and disenchanted nearly
every fan, especially the young ones who wore his jersey and
looked up to him and dreamed of being like Mike when they
grow up.
But Michael Vick has nearly paid his debt to society. He’s
on house arrest for two months, after leaving Leavenworth
Federal Penitentiary this week for his home in Virginia.
He says he’s a changed man, and his supporters say he
deserves another chance to play in the NFL.
We agree with the latter — if the former is true.
Vick’s chance to make things right with Commissioner
Goodell won’t come until after his sentence officially ends
July 20 — and that’s likely too late for Vick to play this season.
So it’s probable that Michael Vick will have nearly a year
to prove to the NFL that he’s a new man — and to convince
the public of his sincerity. It will apparently start with a $10an-hour construction job, after what must have been a thoroughly (and necessarily) humbling experience in prison.
Some will never accept him back into society. If he plays
again, opposing fans, especially the infamous “Dawg Pound”
in Cleveland, are sure to growl and howl and boo him every
chance they get. He’ll just have to live with it if he wants to
play again.
But off the field, he could become a powerful spokesman
for the Humane Society, and a sterling example of atonement,
and perhaps even rebirth.
If his remorse is real, we hope he gets another chance with
a team other than the Falcons (who have moved on) in 2010.
As sour as it’s been for Michael Vick, redemption for a
truly penitent man can be very sweet.
Abortion dilemma
During the commencement speech in which
President Obama urged
greater civility in the abortion debate, he was interrupted by cries of “baby killer,”
“abortion is murder,” “stop
killing our children” and
“you have blood on your
hands.” The passion displayed by the protesters at
the University of Notre
Dame on Sunday suggests
that calling for “open hearts,
open minds, [and] fair-minded words” will get you only
so far on this subject.
To his credit, Obama
acknowledged as much. “No
matter how much we may
want to fudge it,” he said,
“the fact is that at some level
the views of the two camps
are irreconcilable.” But he
did not acknowledge the
extent to which he and other
supporters of abortion rights
have contributed to the rancor by federalizing an issue
that should be left to the
states.
For the last 36 years, on
the strength of a hazily reasoned Supreme Court ruling,
federal judges have been
micromanaging state abortion regulations, deciding
which are justified and
which go too far.
Since
the
U.S.
Constitution
does
not
address abortion one way or
another, these determinations
seem arbitrary, driven by
individual policy preferences
instead of intellectually honest legal interpretation.
This usurpation explains
why we do not think it odd
for presidents (or presidential candidates) to make pronouncements about an issue
that is beyond the powers
granted to the federal government by the Constitution.
For his part, Obama surely
plans to
nominate a
replacement for
retiring
Supreme
C o u r t
Justice
D a v i d
Souter
who will
Jacob
provide a
reliable
Sullum
fifth vote
f
o
r
upholding Roe v. Wade. His
supporters would be outraged if he didn’t. Anti-abortion activists will be outraged
when he does.
There’s no getting around
the fact that if you truly
believe abortion is murder,
you will not be satisfied until
it is banned completely (perhaps with a self-defense
exception in cases where the
mother’s life is threatened by
the pregnancy). Nor will you
be much moved by calls for
less stridency and more civility, except perhaps for tactical reasons. At the same time,
it’s clear that a major reason
for the anger of abortion
opponents is the sense that a
vitally important area of public policy has been improperly transferred from their democratically elected state legislators to a cabal of federal
judges appointed for life.
Furthermore,
because
abortion policy is set at the
national level now, anti-abortion activists have responded
with blatantly unconstitutional measures of their own,
such as the Partial Birth
Abortion Ban Act. In 2007,
the Supreme Court upheld
this law, which prohibits a
particular late-term abortion
method, as consistent with
Roe v. Wade, when it should
have been overturned on the
grounds that it clearly
exceeds the authority to “regulate commerce among the
several States,” the constitutional power on which it was
ludicrously based.The federal ban on “partial birth”
abortion, together with similar state laws, suggests the
pro-life side may be winning, an impression reinforced by Gallup Poll results
released last week. For the
first time since the organization began asking the question in 1995, the percentage
of Americans who identified
themselves as “pro-life” outnumbered those who identified themselves as “prochoice.”
Yet only a fifth or so said
abortion should be banned in
all cases, essentially the
same as the share who said it
should always be allowed.
The real action remains in
the middle, with the 53 percent who said abortion
should be legal in some circumstances. Exactly what
circumstances those are is a
question that should be
worked out at the state level,
and no doubt the answer
would be different in Utah
than it would be in
Massachusetts.
The results of this process
would not fully satisfy anyone, but allowing it to happen would go a long way
toward reducing the acrimony associated with this issue.
When abortion laws throughout the country hinge on a
single judicial nominee, it’s
not a situation conducive to
“open hearts” or “fair-minded words.”

TODAY IN HISTORY
Today is Monday, May
25, the 145th day of 2009.
There are 220 days left in
the year. This is the
Memorial Day observance.
On this date:
In
1787,
the
Constitutional Convention
began
meeting
in
Philadelphia after enough
delegates had shown up for
a quorum.
In 1895, playwright
Oscar Wilde was convicted
of a morals charge in
London; he was sentenced
to two years in prison.
In 1916, the Chicago
Tribune published an interview with Henry Ford in
which the American industrialist was quoted as saying, “History is more or less
bunk.”
In 1961, President John
F. Kennedy, addressing
Congress, called on the
nation to work toward putting a man on the moon by
the end of the decade.
In 1968, the Gateway
Arch in St. Louis was dedicated by Vice President
Hubert Humphrey and
Interior Secretary Stewart
Udall.
In 1969, the motion picture “Midnight Cowboy,”
starring Dustin Hoffman
and Jon Voight, opened in
New York.
Ten years ago: A bipartisan congressional report
said China’s two-decade
effort to steal U.S. weapons
technology continued well
into the Clinton administration; President Bill Clinton
responded that his administration was already “moving aggressively to tighten
security.”
Five years ago: The
Boston Archdiocese said it
would close 65 of 357
parishes, an offshoot of the
clergy sex abuse scandal.
Peace
activist
David
Dellinger, one of the
“Chicago Seven” defendants, died in Montpelier,

Unfriendly fire in Washington
The campaign, as reported in both The
New York Times and The Washington
Post, to wound or discredit President
Obama’s National Security Advisor and
former Marine four-star Gen. James L.
Jones reminds me of a favorite line from
college commencement addresses, in
which the speaker tells the graduates: “Life
is not like college. That’s true — life is not
like college. No, the fact is that life is a lot
more like high school.”
The critics of Jones, hiding their identity, reportedly come from those inside and
outside the administration who want the
national security advisor’s job either for
themselves or for some crony. One repeated knock on Jones — that he’s only putting
in twelve-and-a-half-hour days at the White
House — indicts both the insularity and the
shallowness of inside Washington.
Understand this about Washington, a
beautiful city where I’ve voluntarily and
happily lived for the past 45 years: We do
not make movies or airplanes or grow
wheat in Washington. There is no crop or
product for which we can claim credit. So,
the inclination, when you cannot measure
output, is to measure input.
Question: What did you do yesterday,
Mark?
Answer: I got here at 7 a.m., and I didn’t leave until midnight.
Translated that means: I cannot tell you
exactly what I did yesterday, but I can brag
about how long I didn’t do it.
Let me tell you about
Jim Jones. He graduated from Georgetown in
1966, and was commissioned a second
lieutenant in the Marine
Corps and sent to
Vietnam, where he survived combat as a platoon leader and company commander, and
earned both the Bronze
Mark
Star and the Silver Star.
Shields
During his 40 years
in uniform, Jones
served as Marine Corps commandant and
supreme allied commander of NATO.
Barack Obama, last December, chose
Jones to be the new president’s principal
advisor on national security, responsible for
coordinating the efforts of the Pentagon, the
State Department and the nation’s intelligence agencies.
Let’s get back to the indictment that
Jones only works twelve-and-a-half-hour
days. What Jones brings to his current mission are his judgment, knowledge, perspective and often-painful experience. He is not
a think-tank commando.
No, Jim Jones learned about foreign
policy and national security — and earned
his medals — in the rice paddies of
Southeast Asia at a time when so many of
his current snipers were “gaming” the
nation’s draft law to secure graduate-school
deferments in order to duck military service. While they were writing their master’s
theses, Jones was writing letters of condolence to the widows and parents of fallen
Marines. Jones, himself, dismisses the
attacks of his anonymous hit men as mere
“sniping at my ankles that’s to be expected.” Then he quips, “The first government
job I had (as a Marine lieutenant), people
were actually trying to kill me.” A senior
White House official, speaking on background, stated that “the president has confidence in (Jones), and he’s important to
what we’re doing here.” Another senior
White House aide adds that “the president
stands behind Jim Jones 100 percent.” Not
exactly ringing endorsements by the usual
Washington standards of rhetorical excess.
What makes Jones so valuable — and
what you hope the brilliant, young president appreciates — is that he is a grown-up.
Jones does not have some compulsive need
to have his picture, or his name, in the
papers or to be interviewed on TV a minimum of three times a week. Jones knows
who he is and is not pining to become
Barack Obama’s New Best Friend. He just
seeks, like the good Marine he has always
been, to do his duty for his country — this
time as the president’s national security
advisor.

Court pick could face
filibuster over ‘feelings’
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Senate’s No. 2
Republican on Sunday
refused to rule out a filibuster
if President Barack Obama
seeks a Supreme Court justice who decides cases based
on “emotions or feelings or
preconceived ideas.”
Sen. Jon Kyl made clear
he would use the procedural
delay if Obama follows
through on his pledge to
nominate someone who
takes into account human
suffering and employs empathy from the bench. The
Arizona
Republican
acknowledged that his party
likely does not have enough
votes to sustain a filibuster,
but he said nonetheless he
would try to delay or derail
the nomination if Obama
ventures outside what Kyl
called the mainstream.
“We will distinguish
between a liberal judge on
one side and one who doesn’t decide cases on the merits
but, rather, on the basis of his
or her preconceived ideas,”
Kyl said.
The White House is
preparing to announce
Obama’s pick to replace
Justice David Souter, who
plans to retire back to his
beloved New Hampshire
when the court’s term ends.
Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois,
the No. 2 Democrat in the
Senate, said Sunday that he
has been told a choice is likely to be announced this week.
Those involved with Obama’s
decision hint that it could
come as early as Tuesday.
Obama, who has interviewed at least two candidates for the position, has
offered hints into what he
wants in a justice.
“You have to have not
only the intellect to be able to
effectively apply the law to
cases before you,” Obama
said in an interview carried
Saturday on C-SPAN television. “But you have to be
able to stand in somebody
else’s shoes and see through
their eyes and get a sense of
how the law might work or
not work in practical day-today living.”
Lawmakers want to see
a plan for closing Gitmo
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Members of Congress from
both parties clamored
Sunday for President Barack
Obama to develop a plan for
dealing with the suspected
terrorists
held
at
Guantanamo Bay if he
intends to fulfill his promise
to close its prison by early
2010. The top U.S. military
officer also awaited a decision from the commander in
chief.
“We’re saying, ‘Mr.
President, give us the plan,’”
said Sen. Barbara Boxer, a
California Democrat.
The chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike
Mullen, pressed Obama for
details on how he intends to
fulfill his promise to close
the detention facility on the
U.S. Navy base in Cuba.
Officials report that 240 suspected terrorists are housed
there.
“We’re working hard
now to figure out what the
options are and what the
best one would be. And that
really is a decision the president is going to have to
make, certainly in meeting
this deadline of what we
do,” Mullen said.
Obama’s promise to
close the detention facility
by early 2010 ran smack
into political reality in the
last week. Obama’s fellow
Democrats denied him
funding to move the suspected terrorists while
Republicans latched onto a
message about the potential
national security threat that
helped the minority party
generate sustained headlines for the first time in
months.
“Well, I don’t think you
can convince the American
people that you can bring
the people from Gitmo to
their states and they will be
safe,” said Alabama Sen.

Shelby,

Fix is hard for Medicare,
Social Security finances
WASHINGTON (AP)
— There is no easy fix for
Medicare
and
Social
Security, the main benefit
programs for America’s
growing elderly population.
Medicare and Social
Security will go broke sooner rather than later because
of the recession. With millions of baby boomers
beginning to leave the work
force, the cost of these popular benefit programs
threatens to swamp the government in debt in the coming years if nothing is done.
Congress and the White
House are under increasing
pressure to find a solution.
One proposal gaining
steam is a creating bipartisan commission to tackle
the approaching insolvency
of the government’s three
big “entitlement” programs:
Social Security, Medicare
and Medicaid.
Everything would be on
the table, including tax
increases and benefit cuts.
The commission would produce a “grand bargain”
package of recommenda-
tions that Congress could
accept or reject in total.
It’s the same process the
country has used since 1988
to handle military base closings, where the single takeit-or-leave-it vote provides a
measure of political cover
to lawmakers.
President Barack Obama
has said that action to overhaul Social Security and
other guaranteed-benefit
programs is critical. But top
aides are cool to the commission idea for now, wanting Congress to deal first
with the president’s ambitious health care and global
warming initiatives.
The commission idea is
being resisted by House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi and
some influential committee
leaders who see it as an end
run around the normal legislative process.
“The fact that the leadership has been opposed to it
has been a problem,” said
Republican Rep. Frank
Wolf of Virginia, one of two
original authors of the commission bill in the House.
Buses crash into wall
during ‘figure 8’ race
COLUMBUS, Ohio —
Two school buses have
crashed into a restraining
wall at a demolition derbystyle race in Ohio, injuring at
least 11 spectators.
Witnesses say the accident occurred as the buses
were racing in figure eights
around the Columbus Motor
Speedway track at around
10:30 p.m. Saturday. The
race was one of several taking place during the CrashA-Rama event.
Reward offered in
Gainesville buses fire
GAINESVILLE, Ga. —
Authorities haven’t ruled out
arson in a fire that damaged or
destroyed nine Gainesville city
school buses in a parking lot.
Investigators say they
have not been determined if
the fire early Friday was a
result of arson or caused by
an electrical problem.
Cobb probes fake
graduation tickets
MARIETTA, Ga. —
Faced with angry parents,
Cobb County school officials
say they will examine graduation tickets to determine
how many are fake.
At least 100 people, with
legitimate tickets, say they
were turned away from
South Cobb High School’s
graduation
ceremony
because there wasn’t enough
space for everyone.
The ceremony Saturday
was held at Roswell Street
Baptist Church in Marietta.
Man arrested after
harassing Giuliani
BRIDGEHAMPTON,
N.Y. — A harassment charge
has been filed against a Long
Island man who police say
approached former New York
City Mayor Rudy Giuliani
and threatened to hit him.
Authorities say John
McCluskey repeatedly went
up to the former Republican
presidential
candidate
Saturday afternoon while he
was walking in the tony
beach
town
of
Bridgehampton, a haven for
the rich and famous on Long
Island’s eastern end where
Madonna fell off a horse last
month.
Southampton Town police
say
the
69-year-old
Amagansett (am-uh-GAN’set) resident was arrested on
a second-degree harassment
charge and was released on
bail.

Not much is written about “table feel”
— the ability to sense
where certain missing
key cards are located.
Nevertheless, it is a
fact of bridge life that
all players try to draw
inferences from the
actions of their opponents — and that
some players are
much better at it than
others.
Take this case from
the 1996 Spingold
Teams. South, Bart
Bramley, and his partner, Sidney Lazard,
reached seven clubs
as shown, and it was
up to Bramley to find
the way to make it.
Declarer’s only problem was how to avoid a spade loser.
With the king of spades offside, it might appear that
Bramley was destined to go down one, but he proved otherwise.
After taking the heart lead with the ace, he drew three
rounds of trumps, East discarding a spade, and then cashed
the heart king. This was followed by a diamond to the ace
and the queen of hearts, East and declarer each discarding
a spade. Bramley then ruffed the ten of hearts, East discarding a third spade, and led the queen of spades, on which
West followed low.
At this point, Bramley stopped to review all the accumulated information — including what his “table feel” told
him. From the standpoint of pure probabilities, East was far
more likely to hold the spade king, since he had started with
only two clubs and two hearts. This left him with nine cards
in spades and diamonds as opposed to only five cards in
those suits for West. Then, too, West might have covered
the queen of spades with the king if he had it.
But on top of this, East had shown increasing signs of
distress in choosing his three discards, and this made
Bramley even more certain that East had the spade king.
So Bramley put up the ace of spades and cashed
dummy’s last trump, discarding his remaining spade. East,
who at this point had the J-7-5 of diamonds and lone king
of spades guarding against dummy’s jack, elected to let go
of a diamond, and declarer’s K-Q-9 of diamonds took the
last three tricks.

CRYPTOQUIP
TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH
Single faint rarely a sign of serious illness
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am a 30-year-old woman,
recently hired into a position
that was a big advancement
for me. After one week on the
job, I had to give a presentation. On the morning of the
presentation, I couldn’t eat
because of nerves. About two
minutes into my talk, I fainted. My boss was very concerned and insisted that I
report to the company doctor
before coming back to work.
The doctor gave me a very
thorough exam, including an
EKG. He said I had neurocardiogenic syncope. That’s
sounds awful to me. Is it? I’m
not taking any medicine.
Should I be? — C.K.
ANSWER:
Syncope
(SIN-coe-pea) is a faint.
“Neurocardiogenic” refers to
a reflex that takes place
between nerves and the heart
that brings on the faint. It’s
also called vasovagal reflex.
The “vaso” refers to dilation
of blood
vessels.
The dilation keeps
blood in
the legs
a n d
lessens
t h e
amount of
blood in
Paul G.
circulaDonohue t i o n .
“ Va g a l ”
refers to
the nerve that slows the heart
— just what you don’t want
to happen when there’s too
little blood in circulation.
Both of these mechanisms
cause a drop in blood flow to
the brain. The body responds
by making you temporarily
pass out so that you assume
the horizontal position on the
ground. In that position,
blood starts circulating again,
the brain gets it share of
blood and you wake up.
The whole thing is a reflex
over which you have no control. Stress, high emotions,
fear, standing in one place for
a prolonged time and an overheated room are some of the
circumstances that trigger
this reflex. Usually there are
some warning symptoms that
you’re on the verge of fainting. You might begin to sweat
and feel a bit nauseated. If
you’re ever in this situation
again and get those warning
signals, sit down immediately
or, better yet, lie down. Keep
tensing and relaxing your leg
and arms muscles to keep
blood in circulation.
For young, healthy people
like you, one neurocardiogenic faint is not a sign of any
serious health problem. You
don’t need to be on any medicines. You can file this in
your memory as an interesting story to tell your grandchildren.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
I am one of a set of triplets.
We’re not identical. I don’t
know if triplets ever are identical. Anyway, one of my two
sisters has just had an operation for thyroid cancer. No
one else in the family has had
this cancer. My nonoperated
other triplet and I were talking on the phone and wonder
if we might be susceptible
too. Should we have our thyroid glands examined? —
R.O.
ANSWER: Most thyroid
cancers are papillary thyroid
cancers. If a family member
has this kind of cancer, other
family members have a tenfold increased risk of having
it. You should, therefore, let
your doctor know about your
sister. It would be very helpful if she could give you the
name of her cancer.
I don’t see any information that says there is an
increased risk for triplets over
the risk for other family
members.

ANSWER: Peripheral
artery disease, also known as
peripheral vascular disease, is
the process in which leg arteries become clogged with
plaque, the buildup of cholesterol and fat on their lining.
The buildup prevents blood
from reaching leg muscles.
The classic symptom of
peripheral artery disease is
leg pain on walking. The pain
stops with rest. Your pain
doesn’t come on with physical activity; it comes with a
change in body position. I’m
not sure of the cause of your
pain. It might be a neurological problem. I’m quite certain
that it isn’t peripheral artery
disease.

Personal trainer still pumped at 82
BY SAM MCMANIS
Sacramento Bee
Don’t
call
Richard
Commins “spry,” that condescending adjective frequently
attached to any older adult
who is ambulatory enough to
get out and do something.
But what do you call an
82-year-old who — when not
working in his lush yard or
repairing the roof of his home
— is pumping iron, puffing
away through push-ups and
pull-ups, revving up the elliptical machine, working those
core muscles and maintaining
balance on a trampoline?
Answer: Personal trainer.
No records are kept, but
Commins might be the oldest
personal
trainer
in
Sacramento, Calif., if not the
nation. He gained accreditation in 1985 after completing
classes at California State
University-Sacramento following retirement as a longtime middle-school industrial-arts teacher.
After working in health
clubs for years, schooling
gym members in the fundamentals of fitness, Commins
is starting to ease back a bit.
He has a handful of clients
who come to his humble
home gym, and he serves as
an onsite trainer when he and
his wife, Rona, go on cruises.
“I think I can be an inspiration to people,” says
Commins, smiling but sans
boastfulness. “A lot of people
look at me and say, ‘Boy, if
he can do that at 82, I ought to
get in shape.’ “
If Jack LaLanne had a kid
brother, it would be this guy.
At 5-foot-9, 150 pounds,
Commins is built as solidly as
when he played football in
the San Francisco Bay Area
back before joining the
Marines during World War II.

Commins’ metacarpalcrunching handshake, alone,
attests to his enduring
strength. But there also are
mementos from his Masters
weightlifting days as a
regional gold medalist in the

on, he still holds the 70-74

Loving Husband, Father & Grandfather
There is a place at our table that is empty,
A place in our hearts no one can fill.
We asked God for more time with you but
It was not in His perfect will
Since the Lord called you home
We have missed you in our lives.
We wait for the day of no more heartache and no more goodbyes.
We ask that our love be sent to you on wings of angels that
have no end. Sadly missed, but you live in our hearts.

man at least 20 years
younger.
He’s
also
climbed
California’s Mount Whitney
— the highest peak in the
lower 48 states — four times,
albeit as a younger man. And
two years ago he beat prostate
cancer, saying the radiation
therapy and recovery “felt
like just a bad cold” to him.
“That’s because I’ve
stayed in shape,” he says.
“Some mornings, I don’t feel
like working out. But if I
don’t, I tell myself I won’t be
in as good of shape to do
what I want to do as I get
older.”
He sent a videotape to the
producers of “Survivor,” trying for a spot. (He never
heard back, alas.) He insists
on doing all the work in his
sprawling yard at the end of a
cul-de-sac himself, though a
team of gardeners would get a
good workout keeping up.
And what he most wants is
to help other people enjoy the
hearty old age he embraces.
One recent morning, he
demonstrated pull-ups from
the seated position to one of
his clients, 70-year-old
Richard Stoeltzing, who marveled at the ease with which
Commins executed the exercise.
“Can you believe an 82year-old can do that?”
Stoeltzing asked. “I’ve
known Richard for 35 years,
and he’s been having me do
dips and push-ups and gets
me to strengthen my back and
legs, not just (his chest). I
travel a lot in my job (for
Wachovia Securities), so I
can do these exercises anywhere.”
Back when he was affiliated with health clubs,
Commins said, he trained
people of all ages. Now, it’s
mostly people his age —
well, those within a decade or
two.
“I think they like the idea
of someone older working
with them,” he says. “It
makes them feel more comfortable.”
His quick wit and sly
smile are engaging, but
Commins’ own sterling shape
— and his dedication to exercise — might intimidate the
uninitiated.
His wife doesn’t work out
with him. She prefers the
more social aspect she finds
at a local chain health club.
But Rona Commins says he
finds ways to inspire her,
mostly by example.
“He puts everybody to
shame,” Rona says. “I had a
book club at 10 o’clock this
morning, so I was thinking,
‘Heck, I don’t need to work
out. But I got up to be (at the
gym) at 7:30 because of
Richard.
“Always, he was exercising. When we first got married 50 years ago, he’d jump
rope, had a rowing machine,
tennis-ball machine. He was
always doing something.
Weightlifting was new, after
he retired.”
Commins likes to say he
was just a “weekend athlete”
until he retired. His wife disagrees, as does daughter
Merrin Hansen.
“It was just sort of a way
of life for my father,” says
Hansen, a dietitian. “When
he’d watch TV, he’d do step
training or use one of those
wheels with handles and
stretch out on the floor (for
abdominal exercises). I ran
track in high school, but I
never felt pushed by him. But
the (fitness ethic) was just
sort of ingrained.”
Commins says he really
didn’t get serious about exercising until his 60s and claims
that he reached his fitness
peak at age 70. He admits
he’s losing strength with age,
despite his best efforts. But he
hopes to keep age at bay as
long as he can.
“The key is consistency,”
he said. “You can lose
(strength) if you stop. Then,
even if you come back, you
can’t get it back. I can’t lift as
much as when I was competing. Sometimes, I’m forced to
stop (exercising). Like when I

fell off the roof at (age) 80. If
it wasn’t for me being in
shape, I don’t think I’d have
gotten through that fall with
just a concussion. I think I
had enough muscle to hold
things together.”
Though he shows few
signs of slowing, Commins
has made some accommodation to age. He has given up
hopes of being selected for
“Survivor,” for example. But
his wife says he still puts men
decades younger to shame.
“At church on Sunday, he
told me he had to go move a
table and turned and walked
away,” she says. “I’m watching him go and, from behind,
you’d think he was 30 years
younger. There’s that energy,
that spring in his step.”
But just don’t call him spry.

Braves win in blowout
Jones, McCann
fuel sweep of Jays
BY CHARLES ODUM
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTA — Blurry vision
couldn’t stop Brian McCann, and
neither could Toronto’s defensive
shift.
McCann hit two homers, including a three-run shot in Atlanta’s
seven-run seventh inning, and the
Braves beat the Blue Jays 10-2 on
Sunday to cap a three-game sweep.
The Blue Jays were the first
team that tried to stop McCann by
placing three players on the right
side of the infield.
It may be a long time before
McCann faces another shift.
McCann had three hits and
drove in four runs, leaving him 6for-10 in the series. He is hitting
.396 (19 for 48) in 14 games with
his new glasses.
“We can’t be satisfied with the
sweep,” McCann said. “We’ve got
to keep going.”
McCann missed 13 games while
on the disabled list from April 23 to
May 8 with blurred vision, including a failed experiment with contact lenses.
The score was 2-all before
pinch-hitter Chipper Jones drove in
the go-ahead run with a basesloaded single in the seventh.
Jones missed the first two games
of the series after hurting his right
big toe on Thursday night. He didn’t start on Sunday but made good
on his first pinch-hit appearance of
the season.
“I’m glad that the opportunity
arose,” Jones said. “When you’re
sitting there you’re just hoping to
get an opportunity to have an influence on the game.”
The sweep was the Braves’ first
in eight series with Toronto.
The Blue Jays’ six-game losing
streak is their longest since drop-
ping seven straight last June. They
fell to second place in the AL East,
a half-game behind Boston.
“We’re OK,” said Toronto manager Cito Gaston. “We’re still ...
just a half-game out.”
Toronto, which began its ninegame road trip with three straight
losses at Boston, has been swept in
back-to-back road series for the
first time since May 2007 at
Cleveland and Texas.
“You’re going to go through
periods like this,” Vernon Wells
said. “Hopefully, we’ll right the
ship and get back at it tomorrow.”
Wells had two hits and scored
both Toronto runs but said “I take a
lot of responsibility” for the losing
streak.
“It’s frustrating for everyone,”
he said.
Kelly Johnson had three hits,
including a homer, and drove in
three runs for Atlanta, which completed a 6-3 homestand.
The Braves had 13 hits, including five in the seventh, when they
sent 10 batters to the plate.
“It looks like everybody’s finally in a groove,” McCann said.
“Everything fell into place.”
Jeff Bennett (2-1), Atlanta’s
third of five relievers, recorded one
out in the seventh.
Shawn Camp (0-2) gave up the
first three runs in the seventh. Lefthanded batters were 1-for-22
against Toronto right-hander Jason
Frasor this season before he gave
up three hits to lefties in the seventh, driving in six runs.
Jones greeted Frasor with an
RBI single off first baseman Lyle
Overbay’s glove for a 3-2 lead.
Johnson followed with a two-run
double, Garret Anderson had a sacrifice fly and McCann added a
three-run homer off Frasor into the

“Everybody did get in on it, but
the biggest hit of the day was
Chipper’s,” said Braves manager

fifth inning if he could go. He said,
’I can hit, I don’t know if I can run
or not.”’
Cox said he was going to use
pitcher Kris Medlen as a pinch-runner. Jones, thinking Cox was going to
weaken the bench by using a position
player, waved off the pinch-runner.

Lions look to
build on GFL
championship
ast season, Christian
Heritage’s football team
stormed through the
Georgia Football League with a
perfect record and ran away with
the league championship in
blowout fashion. Of the 29 players
on the 2008 opening-day roster,
nine were seniors, most in the program’s four-year history.
But as the Lions prepare for
their fifth season, they will look a
lot different. Gone is running back
Jarred Cronan,
the team’s leading rusher. Also
gone is starting
quarterback John
Pierce, who will
be replaced this
year by his
brother Daniel,
the Lions’ leading receiver last
season.

Only nine
players return
Krohn
from last year’s
team, and only
four were starters.
Needless to say, Lions coach
Mike Vaden and his players have a
lot of work to do as the team goes
through its rebuilding process.
But Vaden is not without hope.
“We are very pleased with the
young guys we have coming in
and learning the terminology,” said
Vaden, who has a 24-7 record in
three seasons with the Lions.
“They showed good effort and
enthusiasm this spring and I’m
looking forward to next season.”
The Lions wrapped up their 10-
allowed by Toronto in an inning
this season.
Johnson and McCann hit firstinning home runs off Scott
Richmond.
The Blue Jays pulled even with
runs in the fourth and sixth innings
off Jair Jurrjens, who gave up eight
hits and two runs in six innings.
Wells singled, stole second and
third, and scored on Jose
Bautista’s groundout. Wells led
off the fifth with a double and
scored on Overbay’s one-out single, making it 2-all.

Helio Castroneves speeds down the main straightaway on
his way to victory in the Indianapolis 500 at Indianapolis
Motor Speedway in Indianapolis on Sunday.
Castroneves takes Indy title
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The
tears flowed as soon as Helio
Castroneves turned his red-andwhite car into Victory Lane, and
he really got emotional when
Roger Penske leaned over to give
his driver a hug.
“Thanks for giving my life
back,” Castroneves said between
sobs.
He could’ve lost it all. He
could’ve gone to prison for six
years. Instead, he was celebrating
another win at the Indianapolis
500.
Castroneves capped a perfect
month of May by winning at the
Brickyard for the third time
Sunday, a triumph that was especially poignant given what he was
facing just 5 1/2 weeks ago.
From accused tax cheat to Indy
champion — this race was a lot
longer than 500 miles.
“Let’s celebrate now!” he
screamed to the quarter of a million fans.
Castroneves became the ninth
driver to win the historic race
three times, and his timing couldn’t have been better. On April 17,
W W W
.
he was acquitted of most charges
at a federal tax evasion trial, and
the remaining count was finally
thrown out last Friday.
“This is the best month of May
ever,” Castroneves said, and it was
hard to argue otherwise.
He won the pole. Then he won
the pit-stop competition. And
now, the biggest win of all, No. 3
for the guy who drives car No. 3,
leaving him only one win away
from joining the most elite group
of all: four-time Indy winners A.J.
Foyt, Al Unser and Rick Mears.
For Penske, it was Indy win
No. 15 — more than any other car
owner and ensuring that the
Captain has never gone more than
three years between wins at this
place, except for the time he didn’t run because of a split in openwheel racing.
“He smiles only two times: on
his birthday and when he wins the
Indy 500,” Castroneves said of his
boss.

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) —
NASCAR’s longest race of the
season spilled into a second day
Sunday night when the Coca-Cola
600 was postponed by rain for the
first time in 50 years.
Light rain had delayed the
scheduled 6:03 p.m. start at Lowe’s
Motor Speedway, but the track
appeared dry and NASCAR called
the cars out to pit road moments
before a heavy shower soaked the
surface again. The heavy rain lasted less than 15 minutes, but a persistent drizzle made it impossible
to dry the track.
The race will run on Monday
at noon. It’s the first time it will be
held on Memorial Day.
“We have a ton of family members and friends in town this
weekend, and of course the big
plan was for us all to be here
tonight and playing around by the
lake tomorrow,” said Kurt Busch,
who will start 17th.
“You just gotta feel for the
fans, though. I’m sure a lot of
them were counting on tomorrow
for a travel day. The weather has
put a kink in a lot of plans.”
The only other time the CocaCola 600 was postponed was the
1960 inaugural race, when it was
pushed from its Memorial Day
weekend date to June 19 because
three consecutive March snowstorms slowed construction on the
speedway.
The weather has been good to
NASCAR since the season-opening Daytona 500 was shortened
48 laps because of rain. Since
then, every Sprint Cup Series
event has been rain-free.
The Truck Series had two postponements this season — at
Martinsville and Kansas, where
the races were held on days other
than their scheduled start.
Elton Sawyer, competition
director for Red Bull Racing, said
the holdover isn’t a huge financial
burden to race teams because the
majority are based in the area and
don’t have lodging costs. But
teams will have to adjust to different track conditions: Monday’s
event will now be run during the
hottest part of the day.

Sabbatini honors Mickelsons, wins
IRVING, Texas — Rory
Sabbatini knelt down on the
18th green as his two young
children charged to congratulate him with hugs and kisses.
“The beauty about it is
just seeing the innocent joy
in their eyes,” Sabbatini said
after his victory Sunday in
the
Byron
Nelson
Championship.
Wearing a pink shirt in a
show of support for Amy
Mickelson, recently diagnosed with breast cancer, and
heavy hearted because of the
rapidly deteriorating health
of a buddy with Hodgkin’s
lymphoma, Sabbatini shot a
6-under 64 for a two-stroke
victory over late-charging
Brian Davis in Lord Byron’s
tournament.
“Obviously this tournament is very special,”
Sabbatini said. “It’s one that
I wish I had have been able
to win it and look up and see
Byron sitting there at the
18th green. ... What a wonderful name to be associated
with now.”
After an 8-foot putt at No.
17 for his third straight
birdie, Sabbatini got to enjoy
the champion’s walk up No.
18. And it didn’t matter that
his 7-foot par putt slid past
and he had to tap in for
bogey.
Once the final putt

day spring practice session Saturday in Cumming
with a three-way scrimmage between two GFL
schools, the North
Georgia Falcons and the
Georgia Force.
It wasn’t a typical game
— each team played each
other for three quarters and
no score was kept — but it
provided the Lions good
game-type experience,
Vaden said.
Because some of the
football players are still
with the Lions’ baseball
team in the GISA state
playoffs, and because some
of the home school players
didn’t report, Vaden only
had 18 players to work
with this spring. That
meant the Lions couldn’t
play a traditional intrasquad
spring game like they did
last year, so this year’s
scrimmage format worked
out well.
“It was a good scrimmage,” Vaden said. “Both
the Falcons and the Force
old son and 3-year old
daughter — with “Team
Sabo” inscribed on their
clothing — ran out to greet
him. He then embraced wife
Amy and Peggy Nelson, the
widow of Byron Nelson.
Sabbatini, the 33-year-old
South African who lives in
nearby Fort Worth, finished
at 19-under 261 at TPC Four
Seasons Resort Las Colinas
to break the tournament
mark of 18 under set by
Loren Roberts and playoff
loser Steve Pate in 1999 —
when the Cottonwood Valley
course also was used the first
two days.
Sabbatini earned $1.17
million for his fifth PGA
Tour victory.
game tempo. Vaden said
he’s got four running backs
that will be in the mix,
including Parmalee Ward,
who saw significant playing
time last season.
The offensive line will
have two starters returning
in Travor Maffetone and
Andrew Weaver. The two
also played on the defensive line and will do so
again this season.
Daniel Groce returns as
a linebacker and tight end,
and Daniel Pierce will
play in an otherwise
young secondary, in addition to his quarterback
duties.
So although this season
may be a rebuilding year
for the Lions, opposing
teams shouldn’t count them
out as a playoff contender.
“I feel like we can be
competitive,” Vaden said.
were much more mature
than we were, but we held
our own and I was pleased
with that.”
Because the Falcons and
Force have more returning
players from last year’s
teams, Vaden said he considers both as favorites to
contend for this year’s
championship.
“We’ve got a lot of work
to do to prepare for a return
to the championship game,”
he said.
When summer practice
resumes in July, Vaden
hopes the number of participants will increase to
around the number of last
year’s roster of 29. At that
time, he said he’ll start
determining who will be
starters this coming season.
Without knowing his full
starting lineup, Vaden has
already decided there will
be a scheme change in the
running game because of
Cronan’s graduation. They
will switch from the veer to
a wing-T, using more of a

21-point fourth-quarter deficit in a 94-90 win over
New Jersey. The Celtics outscore the Nets 41-16 in
the quarter.
2003 — Juli Inkster shoots a 10-under 62 — tying
the lowest final-round score by a winner in LPGA
Tour history — to beat Lorie Kane by four strokes
in the LPGA Corning Classic.
2007 — Bjarne Riis is the first Tour de France winner to admit using performance-enhancing drugs
to win the sport's premier race, further eroding
cycling's credibility after a series of doping confessions. His admission means the top three finishers
in the 1996 Tour are linked to doping — with two
admitting to cheating.
2008 — Seven crashes and spinouts mar the first
Indianapolis 500 since the two warring open-wheel
series (CART and IRL) came together under the
IndyCar banner. Scott Dixon stays ahead of the
trouble to win the race.

eclipsed her historic fourthplace finish as a rookie in
2005 by crossing the strip of
bricks in third.
Patrick, however, was
never really a factor on this
day. It belonged to
Castroneves, who pumped
his fist all the way down the
final straightaway.
“I want to climb the
fence,” said the driver
known as “Spiderman,”
referring to his signature
celebration.
Then he did just that,
climbing out of his car after
the victory lap and scaling
the fence along the main
grandstand with his pit
crew. Someone tossed him a
green-and-yellow Brazilian
flag.
It was clearly a popular
victory. The fans who
turned out on a sweltering
late spring day were on their
feet, cheering and waving
their caps as Castroneves
sped around the 2.5-mile
oval for the final time.
“You guys kept me
strong,” Castroneves told
the crowd. “You guys are
the best. I’m honored to
have fans like you.
Crashes took out some of
the biggest names in the
field,
including
Tony
Kanaan, Marco Andretti and
Graham Rahal. The most
frightening wreck occurred
on lap 173, when Brazilians
Vitor Meira and Raphael
Matos got together going
into the first turn.
Meira’s car veered headon into the padded outside
wall. He was removed from
the car, put on a stretcher
and taken to a nearby hospital complaining of severe
lower-back pain. Later,
IndyCar officials said he
sustained two broken vertebrae in his back, but the
injury should be treatable
without surgery.
The lengthy caution period after the Meira-Matos
crash ensured that everyone
had enough fuel to get to the
finish. When the race
restarted with 17 laps to go,
Castroneves got a great
jump on Wheldon and
Patrick and pulled away to
win by nearly 2 seconds,
more than two football
fields.
“At the end, I just didn’t
have enough for Helio,” said
Wheldon, who won the race
in 2005.
The winning speed was
150.318 mph in a race that
had only four leaders:
Castroneves and Penske
teammate Ryan Briscoe,
along with the last two winners, Chip Ganassi Racing’s
Scott Dixon and Dario
Franchitti.
Dixon, the defending
champion, led more laps
than anyone (73), and 2007
winner Franchitti, returning
to Indy after a disappointing
foray into stock cars, was
out
front
for
50.
Castroneves led 66 and
Briscoe the other 11.
Castroneves started from
the pole and led the first
seven laps, then laid back
for a good part of the overcast, sweltering afternoon.
Finally, on a restart after the
sixth of eight yellow flags,
Castroneves surged past
Dixon to reclaim the lead
with 59 laps to go.
It was his the rest of the
way.
“I’m very happy for
him,” Patrick said. “I’m
glad to have him back, and
obviously he’s great for the
sport.”
Indeed, Castroneves is
perhaps the most recognizable open-wheel driver in the
U.S. outside of Patrick, his
appeal growing even more
after he was crowned
“Dancing with the Stars”
champion in 2007.
Then he made headlines
of a different kind, dragged
into court in shackles after a
federal jury accused him of
hiding millions in an offshore company.
Penske never lost faith in
his driver, and promised that
his car would be waiting if
his legal woes were
resolved. After missing the
season-opening
race,
Castroneves was acquitted
by a jury and immediately
hopped on a plane for an
event at Long Beach, Calif.
No. 3 was waiting, just
as Penske had promised.
“I had so much faith that
Helio hadn’t done anything
wrong,” the team owner
said. “We were never, ever
going to leave his side.”
Rahal, the 20-year-old
son of 1986 Indy winner
Bobby Rahal, crashed on
the 56th lap in virtually the
same spot where he hit the
wall a year earlier. He started fourth and was running
fifth when his car went high
coming out of the fourth
turn and slammed the barrier. He was not injured.

DALLAS — The Dallas
Mavericks are out of the
National
Basketball
Association playoffs, and
the spotlight is now following the
team's
PRO
controBASKETBALL v e r s i a l
owner,
Mark Cuban, to a different
venue — federal court.
The insider trading suit
filed against Cuban by the
U.S.
Securities
and
Exchange Commission last
year is scheduled to receive
its first hearing Tuesday
when attorneys present oral
arguments on a motion by
the billionaire owner to have
the case dismissed.
The hearing will provide
yet another window to a case
that has captured the attention
of the country's legal minds,
some of whom believe it represents an unprecedented step
by the SEC.
"The basis on which
they're going after Cuban
hasn't been tried before," said
Peter Henning, a law professor in Detroit who formerly
worked as an attorney in the
SEC's enforcement division.
"Whether the SEC is going to
be able to stretch (its authority) that far certainly remains
to be seen."
The SEC alleges that
Cuban engaged in insider
trading when he sold his
shares in a Canadian Internet
search engine company,
Mamma.com Inc., after
receiving confidential information that the company
planned to sell additional
shares through a private offering in 2004. Cuban was able
to avoid more than $750,000
in losses by selling his shares,
according to the SEC.
The government's case is
based on the contention
that, by violating an oral
agreement to keep the sensitive information confidential, Cuban committed
insider trading.
Cuban and his legal team,
while not admitting that the
facts detailed in the suit are
true, say the government's
premise is wrong. They say
Cuban, whose shares represented a 6.3 percent stake in
Mamma.com, was never an
"insider" because he didn't
have a fiduciary or similar
duty in his relationship with
the company.
Cuban's motion to have
the case dismissed has
sparked a series of pleadings and briefs in which he
has attacked the government's position and the government has pushed back
with equally sharp elbows.
The SEC argues that a
confidential agreement is
sufficient to establish a
fiduciary relationship and
derides Cuban's stance.
