SANFORD — Lee County’s unemployment rate dropped more than a percentage point in March according to figures released by the N.C. Employ-

ment Security Commission Friday. The county’s rate for March came in at 13.2 percent, down from 14.5 percent in February. March’s rate is the lowest since November. According to the data, 3,465

SANFORD — Get on your bikes and ride! Sunday is downtown Sanford’s third annual Bike Criterium. The event has become a fixture in Sanford, with hundreds of bikers coming from all over to compete. The day’s events aren’t just for bikers though. Event founder Parker McConville

said the day’s festivities will also include a 5K race starting at 8:15 a.m. McConville, a Sanford physician, started the Criterium after being inspired by races in nearby Moore County and Chapel Hill three years ago. “We kind of piggybacked onto their races,” McConville said.

See Race, Page 6A

WANT TO RIDE? Registering for the 5K ahead of time costs $20, although it’s $25 Sunday. Prices for the bike races, which vary in length and route, range from $10 for youth races to $30 for adults. Register online at www.prereg.com and learn more about the varying races.

This week, we Take 5 with Linda Barrick, who will be the keynote speaker — along with her daughter, Jen — at the “Rally for a Friend in 2010” conference scheduled for May 15 at Grace Chapel Church. Jen Barrick was nearly killed in a car accident in November 2006, and she and her mother now speak at women’s rallies across the country. The Barrick family resides in Forest, Va.

SANFORD — To Ellen Mangum, doing what’s best for all students of Lee County Schools is what’s important. “We make the best decisions for the children in general. It can’t be for a select few,” she said. “It’s got to be for the overall picture.” Mangum, who has three grown sons with her husband John, was elected to the Lee County Board of Education in 2000, serving a four-year term, and re-elected in 2006. She’s been the curriculum and instruction committee chairperson for the board and now she’s up for re-election. Serving on the board has been a welcome challenge for her. “I enjoy the thought process that I have

Throughout the week, The Herald will profile (in alphabetical order) the seven candidates vying for three open seats on the Lee County Board of Education.

GOOD MORNING Corrections n Thursday’s story “Charges lessened for alleged murderer” should have read that the victim, Dana Shorb, was found on April 24, 2008. Also, the couple’s baby was 2 months old at the time of the stabbing, and Shorb attended Southern Lee High School, not the defendant, Edward Rivera. Also, Rivera was 21 when he worked at Caterpillar.

Almanac Today is Saturday, April 24, the 114th day of 2010. There are 251 days left in the year. This day in history: On April 24, 1898, Spain declared war on the United States after rejecting America’s ultimatum to withdraw from Cuba. (The United States responded in kind the next day.) In 1792, the national anthem of France, “La Marseillaise,” was composed by Captain Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle. In 1800, Congress approved a bill establishing the Library of Congress. In 1877, federal troops were ordered out of New Orleans, ending the North’s post-Civil War rule in the South. In 1915, the Ottoman Empire rounded up Armenian political and cultural leaders in Constantinople at the start of what many scholars regard as the first genocide of the 20th century in which an estimated 1.5 million Armenians died. In 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin. (The rising was put down by British forces almost a week later.) In 1953, British statesman Winston Churchill was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. In 1960, rioting erupted in Biloxi, Miss. after black protesters staging a “wade-in” at a whites-only beach were attacked by a crowd of hostile whites.

Clubs are great, but boards must face reality

W

hat’s not to love about the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sanford? If there was ever a stronger local charitable service organization with a better return on investment and track record, we’re not aware of it. It has served nearly 14,000 teenagers in Lee County in the last 14 years and generated success story after success story, tremendous goodwill and a safety valve for an innumerable number of students who, without it, may have strayed in any number of wrong directions with bad choices. But after losing five grants in the past year and a total funding

drop of more than $300,000, the non-profit is in dire financial straits. A few months ago, the clubs announced an effort to raise $175,000 by September in order to stave off short-term suspension of programs. This week, it became clear that goal probably won’t be reached after the club requested $50,000 in funding from the governments of both the City of Sanford and Lee County. The city council tabled the clubs’ request for the funds on Tuesday. The request made to the Lee County Board of Commissioners won’t be discussed until May 3. Neither the city nor the county has formalized

policies about providing funding to non-profits, but that won’t — and hasn’t — ruled out extending financial assistance to them. We caution the entities to be careful and think hard before granting the clubs’ requests. At a time when personnel cuts, program and service reductions and tax increases are proving to be the norm for governments just about everywhere, providing significant operating expense to entities — even non-profit ones — should be a last resort, especially for those which get a portion of their revenues from fees. There’s no denying the Boys & Girls Clubs are in crisis mode.

Donations from cash-strapped investors and grants are down significantly. In response, the clubs have trimmed staff and this week announced they’ll close for two weeks over the summer, as well as increase fees for members — fees that unfortunately few members can afford even at current levels. Those are appropriate responses from what is locally a very well-run organization. (Officials, by the way, say the club is not in danger of closing permanently.) Make no mistake: the Boys & Girls Clubs is one of our community’s most valuable resources. But the fiscal realities facing city and county govern-

ments dictate that the burden of support needs to come from elsewhere — the users, the extended families of the users, the faith community...anywhere but the too-burdened taxpayer. Meanwhile, the city and county will be left to consider how to react to similar requests that will likely follow. Councilman Sam Gaskins offered the good idea that a policy be “proactive to tourism” and, in effect, take into consideration a non-profit’s fiscal contributions and increases to our local quality of life. Weigh in with the council or commission with your ideas. It’s your money, too.

Medicaid message

G

ov. Beverly Perdue’s words made sense. “North Carolina cannot move forward without fixing Medicaid,” Perdue said as she unveiled a $19.1 billion state budget plan that grows to $20.6 billion when federal stimulus dollars are added in. But North Carolina’s political leaders have used similar words before. The words haven’t stopped Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor, from eating up an ever-growing slice of the state budget pie. Meanwhile, for all the lip service given to improving public schools, the budget slice served up to K-12 education is declining, and that’s been the case for roughly two decades. Faced with a $3 billion budget gap, Perdue and legislators whacked Medicaid pretty good last year. Even with additional federal dollars, the year-overyear Medicaid budget declined. Perdue and the legislature also agreed to allow no-bid contracts specifically aimed at finding Medicaid savings and reducing fraud. Budgets, though, are one things. Actual spending is something else. Right now, officials in the Perdue administration expect Medicaid spending to come in $250 million over budget, despite their efforts to cut costs. Perdue’s budget plan for the next fiscal year calls for pumping another $430 million into the program. That $430 million represents nearly half of new spending in the proposed budget. Overall spending, though, essentially remains flat. So, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that, to increase Medicaid spending by $430 million, means to cut somewhere else. With public schools representing about 40 percent of state spending, the where also isn’t hard to figure. In fact, Perdue’s budget would decrease K-12 spending by 2 percent. The reasons for the escalating Medicaid cost is pretty basic: In a down economy, more people become unemployed or under-employed; they lose private health insurance; their declining income levels allow them to qualify for the government-subsidized health care. The cost spiral can become even more insidious. A lot of those folks who become unemployed and lose private health insurance often suffer from a backlog of health complaints that built as they waited to meet eligibility requirements. So, once becoming eligible, more visits to the doctor are often the result. Meanwhile, states don’t set eligibility, meaning their primary way to control cost is to limit services or lower reimbursement rates for doctors and other providers. But as logical as Perdue’s words may be, “fixing” Medicaid isn’t easy because Medicaid is business and Medicaid is jobs. ... A fix for taxpayers would mean something quite different for those who make up the health care economy: a pay cut or unemployment.

Today’s Prayer

Here we go again. There is a “See I told you so” coming down the road. Point #1: My kids must be stupid. I sent them to LCHS and the breezeway was broken. No air in the gym. This must mean the cafeteria food stunk to high heaven as well. I guess the toilets didn’t flush either. Darn it. How in the world did Doc Underwood, Pam Beal, and all the other excellent teachers at LCHS make an influence in my kids’ lives under such decrepit conditions? And I guess the valedictorians and honor students (both of my kids were in NHS) didn’t really earn their honors because … the rain stood in the breezeway. I’m surprised we haven’t heard that. Point #2: They say they will use lottery funds. Earth to BOC and BOE, our governor has taken the funds to “balance the budget”. And you are banking on them being available? Point #3: At what breaking point are we going to tell these local officials to stop spending OUR money? The duty to be responsible and cognizant elected officials has gone to the wayside. Seems like every day there is a headline of another incentive package given, or another sad story coming out of Central Office, etc. Only now is the truth starting to come out about healthcare costs rising, not falling. In time, we will see the sales tax increase not be enough to pay for the wants of 10.6% who voted for the sales tax increase. I get that figure from the 17% who voted and the winning margin being 2 to 1. Hardly enough to warrant a “what the people wanted” slogan. Point #4: And sadly, a program that keeps kids off the streets and out of gangs, Boys and Girls Club, is not worthy of our officials, city and county, to fund. Thank God, my kids have graduated from this school system. I came here to keep them from being bused all over the place and to have life-long friends that they grew up with. But that’s all over now. If I am going to be taxed just to breathe (Obamacare) and it’s almost at that point, then I’ll settle in the mountains. Where the air is fresh and where it seems a bit closer to heaven. Now if enough citizens feel this way and leave, where’s the money going to come from? Don’t think the “powers that be” haven’t thought of that. They have. They know the “See I told you so” is coming down the pipe. SHEILA BARBER Sanford

an overall improvement in the local employment situation in recent months. We are seeing a significant amount of hiring and fewer layoffs, she said Friday. “People getting hired again. It may not be as fast as we would like, but our economy is picking up.” Chatham, Moore and Harnett counties also saw improvements in March. Chatham’s rate dropped almost a percentage point from 8.5 percent to 7.6 percent — the third-lowest in the state. Harnett fell from 12.1 percent to 11.2 percent and Moore fell from 11.1 percent to

Mangum Continued from Page 1A

Her background in education provides her with a perspective that benefits both teachers and administrators, she said, because she’s worked in both public and private schools. Now, as the director of the St. Luke’s United Methodist preschool, Mangum enjoys working with the younger set. “It’s been very much a blessing to me,” she said. “There’s a lot of positive energy.” And the staff is a tight-knit group; many have worked there 15-25 years, she said. Understanding the individual needs of students is important to Mangum. “No two kids are alike,” she said. “Whatever you’re doing in education, one size doesn’t fit all. You have to have a variety of ways to reach children.” Parents often pull their children out of public schools because they believe a private school or alternative school better meets the child’s needs. But the public school system offers more than parents realize, she said. “Many times the public school really meets the

9.9 percent. Even U.S. Rep. Bob Etheridge weighed in on the improvement through a press release, stating that “small businesses and middle class families in North Carolina are starting to benefit from targeted tax cuts, investments in education and infrastructure and direct assistance to communities,” from Congress. “This is good news,” he stated about the decrease. “We may be turning the corner after one of the roughest patches in recent memory, and I will keep working until every North Carolinian who is willing to work hard can find a job.” According to the data, all 100 counties in the

state experienced a drop in their rates in March. Orange County had the state’s lowest rate at 6.4 percent, while Graham County had the highest at 17.2 percent. Rates decreased in all 14 of the state’s Metropolitan Statistical Areas as well. The Charlotte metro area gained 5,300 jobs, while the Raleigh metro area gained 2,300 positions and Greensboro gained 1,800 respectively. “North Carolina added more than 66,000 jobs to the payrolls in March,” Etheridge said. “Although the unemployment rate is still far too high, and we need to build an economy that works for the middle class, this is a great start.”

needs of that child best,” she said, referring to the services available to students through social workers, psychologists and the like. “It is amazing how much a public school system does give to children,” she said. “I think public education is the great equalizer.” Mangum said she’s heard concerns from parents about getting information from the schools to homes and, if re-elected, hopes to work toward improving communication between the two. Surveying parents to find out how they’d like to receive information could be the first step, she said. She’s pleased with elementary scores on End-of-Grade tests but would like to see more from the middle and high schools. “They’re still not where I would like them to be,” she said.

At the high school level, a return to some year-long courses may be the answer, she said. “Definitely the block system has not been good for things like math and Spanish,” she said. “When you think about learning, a lot of learning is repetition. If you don’t have it in four months, you don’t have the repetition you do in an eight- or ninemonth Spanish class.” She believes a good number of parents and teachers would be receptive to the idea, because it could better students’ EOG test scores and help them with the Advanced Placement tests, which are given in the spring. Whatever develops, she plans to work on the issues from the ground up. “You have to have it accepted at the ground level and then you work up,” she said.

As a family, we’ve spoken to thousands of people across the nation at churches, youth groups and high schools. Jen and I speak at women’s conferences and also at events for teenage girls, and our schedule recently took us to California, New York, Texas and all over Virginia. Our topic at the event in Sanford will be “Awaken the Power of Christ Within You.� All I can say is that it’ll be like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Jen never memorizes a speech.... she just talks from her heart about God’s faithfulness. It is so powerful and it gives listeners hope and encouragement for whatever problems they are facing in their own lives. Jen has never stopped praising God and she knows God has a special plan for her that will far exceed any of her dreams.

able. When Jennifer came home, Andy and I were still in wheelchairs and my left hand didn’t work — it just hung limp. Jennifer still wasn’t eating. She had a G-tube and I couldn’t even feed her because of her injured hand. Jen’s eyesight was also bad; she suffered from cortical blindness. Both eyes didn’t see to the right and she had severe optic nerve damage. Her balance was bad and she couldn’t go up and down stairs alone. She was in extreme pain with headaches and her body was hypersensitive so everything hurt her. She would scream in the shower. When she tried to eat, she had excruciating stomach pain and lots of other problems. It was a nightmare that never ended. We had to have help 24 hours a day just to take care of her. Jen had no short-term memory for at least a year. God continues to heal her a little more each day but it

: We could have never survived without our church family and friends. They prayed for us continually and supported us in every way, from cleaning our house for a year to providing meals for our family to taking Josh to school and they stayed with Jen in the hospital around the clock. One friend kept a schedule for us and 25 names were on the list of friends and family that were available to care for Jen. They would stay all night long with her and sing praise songs with her and pray over her and read the Bible to her. They had to help dress her and bathe her and do everything a mom would do. She was never alone. At the same time, friends were taking care of me as well. Every day, a different friend would help me get dressed and drive me and the wheelchair up to Charlottesville to see Jen. Andy’s parents took care of him

and took him to all his doctor appointments. They would drive him every day to see Jen as well. With all the injuries and wheelchairs, Andy and I couldn’t even fit in the same car. Jen still has cortical blindness and severe optic nerve damage. She only sees out of a couple “sweet spots.� Reading is very hard and exhausting for her. Basically, everything is harder for Jen. She struggles every day just to cope and tolerate things. She still has severe headaches almost every day. Crowded rooms and noise are hard on her. She doesn’t have a lot of energy and she takes naps every day. Jen’s short-term memory is still a problem, even though it has improved greatly. God enables Jen to do things everyday that she is incapable of in her own strength. It is amazing to watch. She even attends a couple of classes at Liberty University.

Obama, first lady start vacation

ASHEVILLE (AP) — First stop for the first couple’s weekend vacation on Friday was a roadside restaurant that President Barack Obama visited during the final month of his White House campaign. First meal on the trip: barbecued ribs. Obama and first lady Michelle Obama landed in the Blue Ridge Mountains and made a quick stop at Twelve Bones Smokehouse on the way to their resort. The White House said the first couple ate ribs, macaroni and cheese, greens, baked beans, corn bread and corn pudding and washed it down with sweet tea. And then a short time later, they set about working off the meal; the Obamas went on a mountain hike. This trip was meant to

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama sit a table and wait for their order at 12 Bones Smokehouse in Asheville Friday. be vacation, and Obama didn’t even plan to make calls on the fierce debate over financial reform legislation in the Senate, press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters at the White House on Friday. “Knock on wood,� Gibbs said. On Obama’s previous visit to the city, in October 2008, the then-senator

prepared for a debate and rallied supporters — and lamented he couldn’t play golf. “What a spectacular place,� Obama said during the Oct. 5, 2008, stop in Asheville. “The only thing I don’t like about it is that I had to drive by the golf course, and it looks really nice. And my staff won’t let me play.

I’m going to have to come back.� And back, he is. Not just for the golf: The president always keeps his eye on politics. Obama was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win North Carolina since Jimmy Carter in 1976. He defeated Republican Sen. John McCain by just 0.4 percentage points in a state that favored President George W. Bush’s re-election by 12 percentage points four years earlier. The Democratic nominee’s aggressive campaign — and volunteers from bordering South Carolina — helped turn North Carolina in Obama’s favor. As Democrats’ fortunes have sunk, though, Obama’s trip to North Carolina reflects a nod to a middle-class vacation — in contrast to last year’s trips to Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., and his native Hawaii.

Troops just back from Haiti head to Afghanistan

School bus driver charged with DWI after crash

FORT BRAGG (AP) — Paratroopers from Fort Bragg who recently returned to North Carolina from Haiti are headed to Afghanistan to serve as trainers. Army officials say about 800 soldiers from the 82nd Airborne Division’s 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment received orders Thursday to deploy to central Asia in May. They will be based all over Afghanistan as trainers. It is unclear how long the paratroopers will be deployed. “We are not expecting it to be a normal year-long rotation,� said Capt. Chris Brautigam, a brigade spokesman. “As always we’re ready to stay as long as we’re needed.� The soldiers are in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, which is part of a reserve of troops that policymakers can call on in an emergency.

FAYETTEVILLE (AP) — Police say the driver of a North Carolina school bus involved in an accident has been charged with driving while impaired. Fayetteville Police said in a news release that 49-yearold Charles Wynn was also charged with operating a school bus after consuming alcohol. Police said a vehicle rear-ended the school bus Friday afternoon. Officials said 18 students were on the bus. One student from the bus and a child from the other vehicle were transported to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police charged the driver of the other vehicle, 29-year-old Travis Hunter, with failing to reduce speed and operating a vehicle with a revoked license.

Ariz. governor signs enforcement bill

PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer ignored criticism from President Barack Obama on Friday and signed into law a bill supporters said would take handcuffs off police in dealing with illegal immigration in Arizona, the nation’s gateway for human and drug smuggling. With hundreds of protesters outside the state Capitol shouting that the bill would lead to civil rights abuses, Brewer said critics were “overreacting� and that she wouldn’t tolerate racial profiling. “We in Arizona have been more than patient waiting for Washington to act,� Brewer said after signing the law. “But decades of inaction and misguided policy have created a dangerous and unacceptable situation.� Earlier Friday, Obama called the Arizona bill “misguided� and instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it’s legal. He also said the federal government must enact immigration reform at the national level — or leave the door open to “irresponsibility by others.� “That includes, for example, the recent efforts in Arizona, which threaten to undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and their communities that is so crucial to keeping us

Ernie Getford holds a sign in support of the controversial SB1070 illegal immigration enforcement bill during a rally at the state Capitol in Phoenix on Friday. safe,� Obama said. The legislation, sent to the Republican governor by the GOP-led Legislature, makes it a crime under state law to be in the country illegally. It also requires local police officers to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are illegal immigrants, allows lawsuits against government agencies that hinder enforcement of immigration laws, and make it illegal to hire illegal immigrants for day labor or knowingly transport them. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund said it plans a legal challenge to the law, arguing it “launches Arizona into a spiral of pervasive fear, community distrust, increased crime and costly litigation, with nationwide

repercussions.� Brewer ordered the state’s law enforcement licensing agency to develop a training course on how to implement the law while respecting civil rights. The bill will take effect in late July or early August. At the Capitol, some 2,000 protesters booed county Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox when she announced that “the governor did not listen to our prayers.� “It’s going to change our lives,� said Emilio Almodovar, a 13-year-old American citizen from Phoenix. “We can’t walk to school any more. We can’t be in the streets anymore without the pigs thinking we’re illegal immigrants.� Brewer signed the bill in a state auditorium about a mile from the Capitol com-

plex where demonstrators have protested the legislation since the measure was approved by lawmakers on Monday. Their numbers grew steadily throughout the week, with buses bringing protesters from as far away as Los Angeles. Brewer, who faces a tough election battle and growing anger in the state over illegal immigrants, said the law “protects every Arizona citizen.� Anti-immigrant anger has swelled in the past month, after rancher Rob Krentz was found dead on his land north of Douglas, near the Mexico border. Authorities believe he was fatally shot by an illegal immigrant possibly connected to a drug smuggling cartel. Arizona has an estimated 460,000 illegal immigrants, and its harsh, remote desert serves as the corridor for the majority of illegal immigrants and drugs moving north into the U.S. from Mexico. U.S. Rep. Raul Grijalva, a Democrat, said he closed his Arizona offices at noon Friday after his staff in Yuma and Tucson were flooded with calls this week, some from people threatening violent acts and shouting racial slurs. He called on businesses and groups looking for convention and meeting locations to boycott Arizona.

Coast Guard calls off search for 11 oil rig workers PORT FOURCHON, La. (AP) — The Coast Guard called off its search for 11 workers missing since an explosion on an oil rig off the Louisiana coast. Rear Adm. Mary Landry called it a very difficult decision. The Coast Guard said Friday crews had spent three days searching a large area surrounding the rig, but could not find the missing 11. Coast Guard officials searched by air and sea, hoping the workers had made it to a lifeboat after the explosion. Transocean Ltd. owns the platform. Nearly 100 made it off the Deepwater Horizon safely after Tuesday night’s blast. Seventeen others were hurt. The Coast Guard says it will resume the search if any ships in the area see anything.

Prosecutors link al-Qaida to NYC subway bomb plot NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors say two al-Qaida leaders met with New York terror suspects in Pakistan and ordered them to conduct a suicide bomb attack on city subways. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Knox identified them as senior operative Saleh al-Somali and Rashid Rauf. Both died in strikes in the past year in Pakistan. Knox made the disclosure in Brooklyn federal court Friday as Zarein Ahmedzay pleaded guilty to the suicide bomb plot last September. Ahmedzay admitted to conspiracy to use weapons

Obama renews call for Iran to release American hikers WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration on Friday renewed calls for Iran to immediately release three American hikers detained for nearly nine months and also appealed to the Iranian government to issue their families visas to visit them. A day after the families said two of the three are in poor health, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said there was no reason for their continued incarceration. He spoke after getting a report from Swiss diplomats who were allowed to visit the trio in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison on Thursday. “While we welcome this news, we continue to call for their release,� said Crowley, who also said the families should get visas. “We are aware of the families’ concerns about their children’s’ physical and emotional state of health.� “These three Americans have been in detention for almost nine months without formal charges or access to legal representation,� he said.

Utah set to execute killer by firing squad SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah is set to execute a convicted killer by firing squad in June after a judge agreed Friday to the inmate’s request for the method, renewing a debate over what critics see as an antiquated, Old West-style of justice. Ronnie Lee Gardner, 49, was given the choice of being killed by lethal injection or shot by a five-man team of executioners firing from a set of matched rifles, a rarely used relic that harkens back to Utah’s territorial history. “I would like the firing squad, please,� Gardner told State court Judge Robin Reese Friday morning, after Reese told him his avenues for appeal appear to be exhausted. Gardner was sentenced to death for killing an attorney 25 years ago during a failed escape attempt and shootout. Of the 35 states with the death penalty on the books, Utah is the only one to use the firing squad as a method of execution since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated capital punishment in 1976.

Atheists, religious groups lobby on Day of Prayer

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — To pray or not to pray? That’s the issue government leaders across the country are facing after a federal judge ruled that the National Day of Prayer set for May 6 was unconstitutional. The ruling can’t take effect until all appeals are exhausted, but that’s not stopping atheists and prayer advocates from

firing off letters, e-mails and even planning to put up billboards to convince state and local leaders across the country to see things their way. Nothing’s changing in Topeka, Kan., says Mayor Bill Bunten. “Some of these judges have lost their way,� Bunten said. “Every day is a day of prayer in most Kansas lives, whether they

are Christian or Muslim or Jewish or whatever, and to say that a prayer day is illegal is just ridiculous. That judge better go back and read some history about how this country was formed. Next thing you know we won’t be able to sing ‘God Bless America.’� The ruling raised a furor among religious advocacy groups, who say

the day has become an American tradition. And the announcement this week by President Barack Obama’s administration that it would appeal galvanized atheists, who are trying to persuade officials not to attend local events. Their campaigns illustrate the persistent tensions over any combination of religion and government. Congress established a national prayer day in 1952 and in 1988 set the first Thursday in May as the official day for presidents to issue proclamations asking Americans to pray. Many state and local

officials follow suit on that day. Two years ago, the Madison-based Freedom From Religion Foundation sued the federal government, alleging the day violated the separation of church and state. U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb ruled April 15 that the day amounts to a call to religious action. She included a caveat, though, that said her ruling would have no effect until all appeals are exhausted. A day after Crabb’s ruling, the Alliance Defense Fund, an Arizona-based group of Christian lawyers, fired off letters to

mayors telling them it has no bearing on prayer day activities. “Public officials should be able to participate in public prayer activities just as America’s founders did, and a recent federal judge’s ruling does not prevent America’s cities from lawfully observing the National Day of Prayer,� ADF Senior Legal Counsel Mike Johnson said in a statement. On Friday, the Madison offices of the Freedom From Religion Foundation — a converted rectory now dubbed “The Freethought Hall� — were bustling.

NFL DRAFT RATINGS UP 23 PERCENT

TALLADEGA, Ala. — There was once a time when every move Dale Earnhardt Jr. made in a restrictor-plate race was the right one. He could slice his way through the field, drive to the front whenever he wanted, and was always the guy to beat at Daytona and Talladega. That four-year stretch netted Earnhardt seven victories at NASCAR’s two fastest tracks, and gave him a confidence and air of invincibility. It’s been over five years, though, since Earnhardt last won a plate race. And though he’s still considered a contender every time he climbs into his car, he’s rarely called the favorite anymore. Then came the seasonopening Daytona 500, when for at least two laps, the old Earnhardt was back. He steamrolled his way from 10th to second with a series of jaw-dropping moves, falling just short of running down winner Jamie McMurray. “At the end of that race, I just made enough of the right decisions,” Earnhardt said Friday. “If I’d made a couple more — maybe I made a few wrong decisions that cost me the win — and maybe if I had done things just a little differently, we’d be holding the trophy at the end of that race.” Earnhardt understands why his Daytona drive received so much attention because just like his ardent fan base, he too saw a flash of how things used to be for NASCAR’s most popular driver. “I did,” he nodded, “I did.” So he’s not surprised at the growing anticipation from a victory-starved Junior Nation that is desperately hoping Sunday’s race at Talladega Superspeedway is going to be another display of, to borrow from Earnhardt’s personal vocabulary, “awesomeness.” Earnhardt, fresh off an eighth-place finish in Monday’s rain-rescheduled race at Texas, is tempering the expectations. Performance

NEW YORK (AP) — The ratings for ESPN’s first NFL draft in prime time were up 23 percent from last year. The cable network says it had a 5.3 rating and 7.2 million viewers for the first-round of the draft held Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall. It’s the most-viewed first round in the network’s 31-year history. Coverage of last year’s draft started at 4 p.m. on a Saturday and had a 4.3 rating. ESPN says the draft ranked as the fifth most-watched cable program of the year. The highest-rated markets were Jacksonville, Fla., (10.9) and New Orleans (10.8). The NFL Network posted an overnight rating of 0.95. The ratings represent the percentage of all households with televisions tuned into a program.

NASCAR BUSCH SIGNS EXTENSION WITH PENSKE RACING

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Kurt Busch is staying put with Penske Racing. Busch signed a contract extension to continue driving for Penske Racing in the same week the former Cup champion got a new sponsor. Busch said team owner Roger Penske held an option on 2011 that had already been picked up. But when Shell Oil Co. this week moved its sponsorship to Penske, the driver agreed to a new contract. Busch said on Friday his new contract is a five-year deal. “I definitely look to have my career end here at Penske Racing,” Busch said at Talladega Superspeedway. “Hopefully, that’s 10-15 years down the road.”

NASCAR HARVICK UNSURE WHERE HE WILL DRIVE NEXT YEAR

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — Kevin Harvick will have a new sponsor for sure next season. He could have a new team. Harvick knows wherever he lands, he’d like to stick with Chevrolet. Harvick’s future with Richard Childress Racing appeared to take a huge a hit after Shell Oil Company’s decision to transfer its sponsorship from Harvick to Kurt Busch starting next season. Harvick said he’s unsure where he’ll drive next year, but has had ongoing conversations with Childress. “I don’t think there’s anything pressing time-wise for anybody, whether it’s the team at RCR or myself,” Harvick said Friday at Talladega Superspeedway. Harvick is a free agent at the end of this season, and became the most-watched driver after Kasey Kahne announced last week he had signed a deal to drive for Hendrick Motorsports in 2012.

NFL DRAFT: CAROLINA PANTHERS

Panthers snag QB Clausen By MIKE CRANSTON AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE — Carolina Panthers general manager Marty Hurney spent much of Friday trying to move up in the draft to take Jimmy Clausen, a day after the Notre Dame quarterback was a surprising first-round snub. Hurney couldn’t strike a deal, however, and when Arizona traded up to the 47th slot — one pick ahead of the Panthers — Hurney acknowl-

edged he was crushed, sure the Cardinals were going to take him. “I could lie, but I won’t,” Hurney said. Only the Cardinals passed on Clausen, too. It didn’t take Hurney long to pounce — shaking up Carolina’s newly shuffled quarterback depth chart. “You always say anything can happen,” Hurney said, smiling. “Wow, it happened. ... We think he’s an excellent

NBA PLAYOFFS: ORLAND0 AT CHARLOTTE, TNT, 2 P.M.

SPORTS SCENE

Charlotte tastes playoffs again CHARLOTTE (AP) — Paul Silas remembers how strange and uncomfortable it was in 2002 when he coached an unwanted team in a city that had turned its back on the NBA. Silas looked into the stands for the opening game of the playoffs and saw 9,505 fans in the 23,799-seat Charlotte Coliseum. The final game — a second-round playoff loss to New Jersey — drew less than 14,000. Days later, the Hornets were officially property of New Orleans. “It was kind of disheartening and disconcerting because we did have a good team,� Silas recalled Friday. “It was very difficult. It was really bad at that particular point.� Eight years later, a new team with a different name and colors owned by favorite son Michael Jordan will

Magic’s Lewis sprains left ankle ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Orlando Magic forward Rashard Lewis has a sprained left ankle but says he should be fine for Game 3 against Charlotte on Saturday. Lewis had a wrap around the ankle after practicing Friday. He says he came down sideways on the ankle in Game 2 against the Bobcats. Lewis stayed in the game and didn’t show any effects from the injury. He will remain in the starting lineup.

play in front of a full house in a new downtown arena on Saturday, Charlotte’s first taste of the playoffs since the Hornets’ ugly exit.

And the six-year-old Bobcats need all the support they can get down 2-0 to powerful Orlando in their best-of-seven series. “It’s going to be crazy,� Bobcats guard Raymond Felton said. “It’s something the city of Charlotte has been waiting on.� But will the shift in venue matter? The Bobcats have looked overmatched for much of the first two games in Orlando. Dwight Howard’s foul trouble and a less-thanstellar offense haven’t mattered. The Magic have smothered Charlotte with defense and just enough 3-pointers, showing all the confidence of a team that made it to the finals last season. Not even the prospect of Jordan’s imposing, referee-baiting presence at the end of the Bobcats’ bench for Game 3 seems to

Not in this case. He’s been the owner for what, a month?� For his part, Jordan is a little cranky, too. He watched his new $275 million toy fall behind 24-12 in Game 1 and 13-3 three nights later. Coach Larry Brown said his team, which dropped to 13-30 on the road this season, hasn’t adjusted to the increased intensity of the playoffs. “I even got a call from my owner last night during the Chicago game. telling me, ’Are you watching this? Do you see how hard they’re playing?�’ Brown said of Jordan. “And it was obvious to me he was right.� So what to do for a team that’s led for all of 93 seconds in two games? Brown insists the Bobcats can’t change their drive-first, shun-3-pointers style that produced 44 wins and the team’s first playoff berth — even with the NBA’s defensive player of the year clogging the middle.

NFL DRAFT

SPORTS BRIEFS

Big names, then solid picks

NEW YORK (AP) — Some big stars came out for the second round of the NFL draft, in front of a nearly full Radio City Music Hall. Unfortunately, Jim Brown, Dan Marino, Ray Lewis and Floyd Little were announcing the selections, not being picked. Instead of Heisman Trophy winners and All-Americans, the opening choices of Friday night’s second round were Indiana tackle Rodger Saffold, Virginia cornerback Chris Cook, and UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price. Yes, quality players, but hardly headline

makers. Until Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen went to Carolina at No. 48 overall — more than 40 picks lower than some projected — few of the early selections drew much response from the surprisingly large audience. Then again, with the way the NFL has turned the first primetime draft into an event, seeing the venerable theater packed makes sense. So did the opening choices. Needing a blocker for quarterback Sam Bradford, the first overall pick the previous night, the Rams

quarterback and we feel extremely fortunate to get a quarterback of his ability with the 48th pick.” After sitting out the first night of the draft with no first-round pick, the Panthers addressed one of their biggest needs and perhaps presented immediate competition to newly minted starter Matt Moore. The 6-foot-3, 222-pound Clausen was rated as a first-round pick — perhaps even in the top 10 — by many analysts. But he wasn’t selected on Thursday, perhaps because of concerns about his leadership and personality. Carolina didn’t hesitate, taking him ahead of his college teammate, Golden Tate, and other receiver prospects. The Panthers also decided to wait on addressing holes on the defensive line. It ended a wait for Clausen similar to fellow former Fighting Irish QB Brady Quinn in 2007. Even

is as much about skill as it is the quality of race car, and Earnhardt said the current rules package leaves him at the mercy of his No. 88 Chevrolet. “It’s no disrespect to the cars that I’ve drove in the past, but even people close to me have said I need to be more aggressive,” Earnhardt said of the mantra born out of the Daytona 500 finish. “You can’t be aggressive when you’re going backward. You can’t be aggressive when you’re trying to sitting there trying to hang on. When the car’s good, I can do that, and I’m willing to do that. I get fired up and see opportunities and see the win standing there in front of me, and I can get aggressive. Every driver is that way when they smell that opportunity.” But when the car is only mediocre? “Beating on everybody ain’t going to do nothing but make you a bunch of enemies. So you’ve just go to ride it out,” he said. “When you’re playing offense all day long? It’s easy to look cool and drive on the edge and get everybody up on their feet. But when you’re just hanging on and trying not to wreck and stay out of everybody’s way, it’s difficult to be aggressive and wild and flashy or whatever.” Of course, he’d prefer to run 500 miles at full speed with his eye only on the checkered flag. He can’t do that, though, during what’s considered to be one of the most critical season’s of his career. Earnhardt must rebound from last year’s embarrassing campaign, when he finished 25th in the final standings at the same time his Hendrick Motorsports teammates swept the top three spots. He was winless, had just five top-10s and

ignored several trade offers to stay put. They went for an experienced player who started for four seasons with the Hoosiers. “Oh man, it was a long night,” Saffold said. “Your heart’s racing the entire time and I’m just glad St. Louis called. I didn’t know how much longer I could have taken it.” The Rams fielded plenty of bids for the pick. “We would have had to move significantly back in the second round,” general manager Billy Devaney said, “and what we were going to get we didn’t think it was worth passing up a

Florida’s Tim Tebow was picked ahead of him on Thursday. Clausen said his agent had told him Washington had considered taking him at No. 4, and that Pittsburgh had been trying to move up into the top 10 to get him, but the moves didn’t happen. As he continued to plummet on Friday, Clausen even stopped watching the draft with his family in Palm Springs, Calif. He was playing pool with his friends when his brother handed him the phone. Panthers coach John Fox was at the other end. “He told me he was trying to get up to the 33rd pick,” Clausen said. “He was just really excited to have me on the team. I told him I can’t wait to get there and go to work.” Clausen, who threw 60 touchdowns and 27 interceptions with the Fighting Irish but was just 16-18 as a starter, will join a thin quarterback unit with Carolina. The Panthers released longtime starter Jake Delhomme last month. Moore has started eight NFL games and Hunter Cantwell none.

went into the offseason as the top priority for team owner Rick Hendrick. Now eight races into this year, he’s already grabbed three top-10 finishes and is seventh in the standings. Still, his winless streak has stretched to 65 races, dating back to Michigan in June 2008. He badly needs a win, but isn’t circling

Hurney wouldn’t say if Clausen would immediately compete for the starting job, but lauded his experience playing in a pro-style offense similar Carolina’s. Fox and former Notre Dame coach Charlie Weis are close friends. “I think it’s going to help me tremendously, being in coach Weis’ system,” Clausen said. “Coach Fox told me he said it was the same exact system I’ve played in the last three years. I’m really excited about that.” A beaming Hurney said Clausen was by far the highest-ranked player left on their draft board, and had no concerns about lingering personality issues that may have caused to him to plummet in the draft. “We didn’t have those questions,” Hurney said. “The people you talked to at Notre Dame, the people that have been around him, I think would tell you that they don’t think some of those things are fair. The Panthers also had a third round pick on Friday, 78th overall.

Sunday at Talladega, where he’s a five-time Cup winner, as a must-win race. “I am anxious to win wherever we can win,” he said. “I don’t really put more emphasis over Daytona or Talladega or any other track. Wherever we can pick up a win, it will be just as celebrated and appreciated as any other race.”

lineman that we deemed had this much talent.” Minnesota, which traded out of the first round, has had injury issues at cornerback, so Cook should be helpful. And Tampa Bay’s defensive line has been a sieve, which it addressed with the selections of Oklahoma’s Gerald McCoy at No. 3 overall and then Price. Wideout Golden Tate, Clausen’s college teammate, went 60th overall to Seattle. Perhaps new Seahawks coach Pete Carroll was swayed by Tate’s outstanding performance against his USC Trojans last year.

Noles’ 7-1 Alabi entering NBA draft TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida State’s 7-1 center, Solomon Alabi, is entering the NBA draft. Alabi, 22, averaged 9.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and a school-record 2.1 blocked shots in 77 games for the Seminoles. He was a third-team All Atlantic Coast Conference pick this past season when he helped Florida State to the NCAA tournament for the second straight year. He was twice chosen to the ACC’s all defensive team.

Kentucky’s Patterson heading to the NBA LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky forward Patrick Patterson is skipping his senior season and heading to the NBA. Patterson said Friday that it’s time to start a new chapter in his life following his three seasons in Lexington, which he joked felt much longer after being recruited by Tubby Smith and then playing for Billy Gillispie and John Calipari. Patterson averaged 14.3 points and 7.4 rebounds for the Wildcats, who went 35-3 and won the Southeastern Conference regular season and tournament titles.

AP: Hornets sale reaches ’impasse’ NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A person familiar with negotiations says Hornets sale talks between George Shinn and minority owner Gary Chouest have reached an “impasse” and that Shinn now wants to speak with other possible buyers. Shinn’s preference is to deal only with investors who want to keep the Hornets

in New Orleans, the person told The Associated Press Friday, speaking on the condition of anonymity because Shinn and Chouest have yet to publicly discuss the sale. Shinn, who underwent recent treatment for prostate cancer, has said he wants to focus more on his charity work, his faith and write a book. Chouest, who bought 25 percent of the club in 2007, owns a Louisiana company that builds and operates boats for the offshore energy industry.

Zobrist agrees to five-year extension with Rays ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays have rewarded super utility player Ben Zobrist for a breakout season with a five-year contract extension worth up to $30 million. The club announced the agreement with the 28-yearold infielder-outfielder on Friday. The first three years of the extension are guaranteed. The team holds options for the 2014 and 2015 seasons. Zobrist is making $438,100 this season. He was an All-Star for the first time in 2009, batting .297 with 27 homers and 91 RBIs. He was the first player since Denny Hocking in 2001 to start games at seven different positions.

DEAR ABBY

BRIDGE HAND

Teen keeps mum about being groped by cousin’s boyfriend DEAR ABBY: I am an average 17-year-old girl with a big problem. A few days ago, my cousin’s boyfriend touched me inappropriately. It took a few seconds for me to realize what was happening and stop him. I got up and left the room. I don’t want to tell my mom because she shares what we talk about with other people. I don’t want to tell my cousin because she loves her boyfriend, and if I ruin this for her, she’ll never speak to me again. I have seen her do it with other people. My cousin visits my house every day with her boyfriend. I have been leaving for hours so I won’t have to see him. Please help me. What other option do I have besides telling somebody? — STAYING SILENT IN GUAM

DEAR STAYING SILENT: You have two options. You can remain silent and let your cousin marry a man who has so little self-control that he would not only hit on another woman, but one who is a close relative of hers.

ness of female-on-male domestic violence? You have done a great job with male-on-female abuse awareness, and I think American society is fairly well saturated with it. But there is little out there for men who have been or are being abused. — MINNESOTA READER DEAR READER: Domestic violence is not restricted to any social, racial, religious, economic group or particular gender. And while male victims may be embarrassed to disclose it, men can be victims of domestic violence, too. In years past, men were hesitant to call a domestic abuse hotline when there was a crisis because they were ashamed, had been bullied into thinking they “deserved it,” or were afraid they wouldn’t be believed. That is no longer the case. Male victims of domestic violence can find help by contacting

the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women. The organization’s toll-free helpline is (888) 743-5754 or log onto its Web site at www.dahmw.org. Another organization, SAFE (Stop Abuse for Everyone), also assists victims of abuse regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation. Its Web site is www.safe4all.org. ooo DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together 10 months. I’m 18, and feel I have met the man of my dreams. We were friends for a long time before we became a couple. My question is: Do you think a couple can spend too much time together? Every minute, every hour and every day that we can spend together we do — and I love it. But I don’t want this to ruin our relationship. Am I doing the right thing? — CONFUSED IN MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO DEAR CONFUSED: You’re a smart cookie and that’s a very intelligent question. Although it’s tempting, do not allow the romance to take up every available moment. Continue to devote time to your friends and to outside interests. It will make you a much more interesting person to be around, and you won’t lose your independence.

ODDS AND ENDS No thongs for swimmers in ‘Mayberry with a beach’

Utah woman sentenced in ‘surprise’ hammer beating

KURE BEACH (AP) — A North Carolina town that the mayor called “Mayberry with a beach” has banned swimmers from wearing thongs. Kure Beach Mayor Dean Lambeth says “we’re going to keep this as close to Mayberry with a beach as you can keep it,” referring to the idyllic Southern community portrayed on the 1960s TV series “The Andy Griffith Show.” The Star-News of Wilmington reports that the town council voted Thursday to add a ban against the revealing swimwear to its existing ordinance against nudity. The move came after the police chief received an e-mail earlier in the week asking if the town’s existing nude bathing ordinance allowed thongs.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah woman has been sentenced to 30 days in jail with credit for two days served for blindfolding her husband and promising him a surprise before hitting him in the head with a hammer three years ago. Amy Teresa Ricks also was sentenced to probation and community service Monday in 3rd District Court. The 37year-old pleaded guilty to second-degree felony aggravated assault in February. Prosecutors have agreed to reduce the conviction to a third-degree felony after Ricks completes probation. They also agreed to let Ricks seek expungement of the crime after seven years. Ricks’ husband suffered minor injuries in the May 2007 attack. At the time of her plea, Ricks’ defense attorney said the two were still married but were separated.

Triplets grab top spots in DeKalb high school ATLANTA (AP) — A set of DeKalb County triplets will graduate from high school as the top three students in their class. Lakeside High School in Atlanta has announced that Lauren Boden is the school’s valedictorian this year, and her sisters Stephanie and Allison are the salutatorians. School assistant principal Jason Clyne told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the triplets are noted student athletes who all play softball and golf. Their father told the newspaper that Lauren Boden plans to attend Pomona College in Claremont, Calif., while her sisters are choosing among Pomona, Duke University and Emory University.

Our sinful nature doesn’t go away Q: How can someone be a Christian and yet secretly do something that’s obviously illegal? Someone in our church was convicted of embezzlement recently, and now she’s headed for prison. How could she do this but still go to church every week? — Mrs. V.L. A: What this person did wasn’t only wrong in the eyes of the law, but it brought your church and the name of Christ into disrepute (at least in the eyes of unbelievers). Paul’s instructions about church leaders could be applied to every Christian: “He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap” (1 Timothy 3:7). Sad as they are, incidents like this remind us of two truths we should never forget. First, they remind us of our own weakness. When we come to Christ, God forgives our past, and He comes to live within us by His Holy Spirit. But our old sinful nature still lives in us also — and if we aren’t on guard, it will try to take over. We’ll discover (as the Apostle Paul did) that “nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature” (Romans 7:18). Second, this reminds us that we are engaged in a spiritual battle — and Satan will do everything he can to defeat us. The Bible says, “Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith” (1 Peter 5:8-9). Never assume you are beyond sin’s reach — for you aren’t. Instead, stay close to Christ, and ask Him to guard you from temptation.

By RICK MINTER / Cox Newspapers NOTEBOOK

Race worth the wait for Hamlin Monday’s rain-delayed Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway showed that Jimmie Johnson can expect some strong competition from his Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jeff Gordon and from Denny Hamlin, who won the 500 while recovering from surgery to his left knee just 19 days earlier. Gordon, as he has several times this season, had the fastest car, leading a race-high 124 laps. But he was eliminated in a 10-car crash just 17 laps from the finish. And before then, he went door-to-door with Johnson on several occasions, racing so hard that both parties expressed disappointment with the other afterward. For Hamlin, the Texas win was his second in the past three races, the first coming on another Monday, at Martinsville Speedway, two days before his surgery. After limping noticeably in Victory Lane at Texas, Hamlin restated his reasoning for the timing of his surgery. Earlier this year he said he would put it off until the end of the season. “I did it for the Chase, for the championship, for the long run,” he said. “I knew once I came back I’d be stronger.” While the Texas results showed the strength of Hamlin and Gordon, they also showed that Johnson is as strong as ever. After having to make an unscheduled pit stop to replace a tire likely damaged in contact with Gordon, he stormed back and was closing in on Hamlin as the checkered flag fell.

Trading Spaces

Swapping drivers presents challenges and opportunities The full details of Kasey Kahne’s move to Hendrick Motorsports have yet to be revealed, but there’s a consensus in NASCAR circles about how things will work out in the end. Dale Earnhardt Jr., one of the four drivers now running for Hendrick in the Cup Series, summed up the feelings of many in his comments to reporters at Texas Motor Speedway last week. “I’m sure whatever Rick [Hendrick] chooses to do will be a smart way to take care of it,” Earnhardt said. The complications come because Hendrick hired Kahne, now driving the No. 9 Ford at Richard Petty Motorsports, to take over his No. 5 car beginning with the 2012 season. But Mark Martin, who is under contract to drive the car through next season, is doing a very good job behind the wheel. That puts Martin in an awkward spot as, the way the situation looks now, he’ll be a lame duck in the No. 5 next year, while Kahne likely will be farmed out to a Hendrick-affiliated team, as many have speculated. Hendrick said on a teleconference last week that it’s his responsibility to field a car for Kahne next year. The scenario, on the surface, looks much like the situation back in 2003-04, when Kahne first came on the Cup scene to take over the No. 9, driven at that time by another veteran, Bill Elliott. Looking back, it seems that the driver swap was made a little too soon as far as Elliott was concerned. In his last seven races in the 9 car,

Elliott, who was 47 at the time, had an average finish of 4.56, including a win at Rockingham. And in his final run in the No. 9, he was less than a lap away from winning at Homestead in the 2003 season finale when a tire went flat. Like Elliott back then, Martin today, at 51, is still plenty capable of delivering wins and competing for championships, so the idea of him retiring after next season is farfetched. He said so himself in his weekly interview with reporters at Texas. “I’m not going to retire,” he said. “I’m going to race in 2012. And so don’t even talk about it. I’m racing in 2012.” But he didn’t say where, and he may not know where. “There will be an opportunity for me I’m sure, that will be exciting and fun and that I can help people,” he said. “I feel like I’ve

done that. I feel like I did that in the No. 01 at DEI [after he left Roush Racing and before he joined Hendrick], and I feel like I’ve helped the No. 5 team realize that they can win races and contend for a championship. “And so I’ll find another opportunity that’s exciting to me, and I don’t want to commit to that now. I want to make sure that Hendrick is set, and they are set. It’s such an incredibly perfect scenario.” One possibility might be that he would own his own team, possibly with an affiliation with Hendrick, as his fellow driver Tony Stewart did last year. “For the first time ever, I would consider an opportunity like Tony Stewart had,” Martin said. “I don’t want to be an owner, but if I can be an owner like Tony Stewart maybe I want it.” Often in NASCAR, as was the case when Kurt Busch went from Roush to Penske Racing, the swap was made sooner than expected thanks to some behind-the-scenes dealing. But Martin’s comments indicate he’ll still be with his current team next year. “I feel so fortunate to have a whole year and a half yet in front of me to work with [crew chief] Alan [Gustafson] and this team,” he said. “I’m so grateful for the opportunity. It’s been the gift of my career to realize this and to be able to do this and be successful. “It’s also exciting to do new things, and I love and embrace the excitement of 2012 and whatever that may bring.”

Is media obsession with Johnson justified? ASK RICK!

the car and taking it to the race track --- in some case even driving it to the race track and driving it home as Ned Jarrett had to do at times. It’s so different, it’s hard to say, but I certainly respect both of those men and all that they’ve done. I’m very proud to be a part of the 50-win club.” Johnson also pointed out that not all of his and his team’s media time has been focused on their successes on the track. A: Although many fans do complain “I’ve been through some things where I’ve about the way TV commentators caused wrecks and have had drivers in and others tend to focus on the garage area upset with me at Johnson, it’s hard to argue against restrictor-plate tracks, and the fans talking and writing about a driver were harsh on me for my moves,” he and team that have dominated the said. “Those times of trying to defend sport during some of its most competiyourself or the suspensions Chad’s tive times. (Knaus, crew chief) been through It took Johnson just eight seasons to tie and trying to defend the race team and legends Junior Johnson and Ned Jarrett, defend what he has done. both of whom had 50 wins in the series “Those deals are so tough. It’s really hard now known as Sprint Cup. And Johnson to describe how tough those are.

As Johnson himself pointed out last week, (NAS “I feel like regardless of the situations, some people it is tough to say how his accomplishments CAR p hoto) would argue and say that I’m a little too routine and stack up against Junior Johnson and Jarrett. others can view it other ways,” he said. “You get lost in “The world that I live in today is so different,” he said. everyone’s opinion, so I just keep it simple and live in my “There’s always the argument of the ‘greats’ in any sport, world.

“Does Jimmie Johnson get too much coverage in the media?”

As is often the case in NASCAR, a driver and team have used their positions in the sport to honor a deserving cause. For the Cup race at Texas Motor Speedway, the No. 29 Chevrolet driven by Kevin Harvick carried a special decal honoring the 29 coal miners who died in the April 5 mine explosion in West Virginia. The Upper Big Branch mine explosion in Montcoal, W. Va., was the worst U.S. mining disaster since 1984. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the families and friends of those who lost their lives in this tragic event,” team owner Richard Childress said in a statement. “Coal miners and their families are part of the backbone of American society, so all of us at RCR wanted to show our respect for them for their loss.” The decal was placed on the lower front quarter-panel, in front of the rear tires. “We have a tremendous fan following in West Virginia, and we were very saddened to hear the news,” Harvick added.

‘Finish race, but finish good’ Last year, Juan Pablo Montoya and his crew chief Brian Pattie made no secret of the fact that their main goal in the first 26 races was to simply finish well enough to make sure they made the cut for the season-ending, 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup. Once they did that, they turned up the heat and challenged for the points lead in the early races of the Chase only to falter late and drop to eighth in the final standings. This year, they appear to have faster cars and to be more aggressive in races, but they soon found themselves in a position where they need to think about points. Montoya was 21st in the standings heading into Monday’s raindelayed race at Texas Motor Speedway. “We don’t need top 12s, we need top fives to be able to come back to where we need to be,” Montoya said. “... Our goal is we’ve got to finish the race but we’ve got to finish good. We’re behind on points from where we need to be, but we’ve got a car capable of the win.”
