Eugenia “Gene” Mabry is seen in her uniform as a nurse with the American Red Cross during World War II.

Even though she’s almost 101 years old, Eugenia “Gene” Mabry remembers landing on the beaches of Normandy during World War II as though it were yesterday. She did not land on D-Day

(June 6, 1944) but 11 days after the invasion. She was not armed with weapons to destroy the enemy but rather medical supplies and a skill that helped her save dozens of lives. Mabry was a nurse with the American Red Cross who followed the troops during the largest seaborne invasion in history. Mabry was on a tiny ship that left the British coast in the middle of the night on June 17, 1944, full of medical

Michelle Logan-Owens

Pinewood native takes reins as president, CEO FROM STAFF REPORTS Tuomey Healthcare System’s board of directors announced Friday it has chosen Michelle Logan-Owens to serve as acting president and chief executive officer, effective Monday. Logan-Owens has worked in a variety of positions at Tuomey for more than 20 years, most recently serving as vice president. “We are confident that Michelle has the experience and talent to move Tuomey forward,” said Board Chairman John Brabham. “As a leader at Tuomey, she has proven that she not only has the skills to lead our team, she also has the heart for our hospital and this community.” Logan-Owens, who earned a doctorate in health care administration from Medical University of South Carolina last year, also received a master’s degree from MUSC and an undergraduate degree from University of South Carolina. She is a native of Pinewood and a 1990 graduate of Furman High School. Logan-Owens began her career at Tuomey as a clinical technician on the surgical inpatient unit and later launched her nursing career as a registered nurse on the oncology unit. “I will work diligently to ensure we are successful in all of our endeavors,” Logan-Owens said. “I truly believe that our best days are ahead of us.” Logan-Owens is a member of The Forum, American College of Healthcare Executives, South Carolina Organization of Nurse Executives, Sigma Theta Tau (a nursing honor society) and Alpha Eta and Upsilon Phi Delta, both of which are health care administration honor societies. She, her husband, Sly, and their two daughters are members of Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church, and she has also served on the S.C. Board for Families of Highway Fatalities.

Over-trimmed trees garner complaints in historic district BY ADRIENNE SARVIS adrienne@theitem.com Every eight to 10 years, power lines in the city are replaced, which often requires nearby trees to be trimmed; but some residents of the Hampton Park Historic District are wondering if too much is being trimmed. Councilwoman Colleen Yates brought up the topic during Sumter City Council’s meeting on Tuesday. She said she has received complaints from several residents of the historic district who say the trimmed trees look awful because so much has been cut off with no regard to appearance. City Public Services Director Al Harris said he and City Arborist Brock McDaniel spoke with a few residents Wednesday morning so that the city could do its best to provide information and accommodations. Harris said the city works with Carolina Tree Care of Concord, North Carolina, and Duke Energy every day that they are working in the city.

He said the city receives complaints every year about the way the trees are trimmed. He said the tree trimming company has specific rules to follow when trimming limbs and has worked to find middle ground while operating in the city. Cody Cook with Carolina Tree Care of Concord said according to those regulations set by Duke Energy, tree limbs are to be cut 15 feet from the right of way, but the company does not cut that much per a request from the city. Cook said complaints are nothing new, but the company works with the city and residents to try to meet in the middle with solutions. Yates said she understands that the limbs must be trimmed so that the power lines will not be disturbed. She said she is pleased with the city’s quick response, but she wonders if there is a better way to trim the trees. Treva Walker, who has lived in her home in the 200 block of Salem Street for the last 43 years, said she and many of her neighbors ex-

pressed their concerns with the city a couple of years ago. Looking through her glass storm door, Walker pointed to the tree in front of her yard and said she can see dead portions of the tree. One tree in particular has received the most concern — a river birch on Hampton Avenue between Salem and Park avenues. Yates said the state of the tree is the worst she has ever seen. McDaniel said the tree had been “V’d out,” meaning the inner portions of the tree have been trimmed so that the structure is in the shape of the letter “V.” He said when the trees are trimmed they are cut at the branch collar, the part of the branch closest to the trunk so that the tree cells will grow over the cut and protect the tree from decay. He said the tree is healthy, but the city is now discussing whether the tree will be replaced because it is an eyesore. Editor’s note: Carolina Tree Care of Concord, North Carolina has no relation to Caroli-

Councilwoman Colleen Yates wonders why the tree trimming company would destroy a tree and leave it standing rather than removing it. The city has decided to remove the tree and plant something new on Hampton Avenue.

Tourism indicators continue to climb COLUMBIA — While rainy March weather meant a drop

The Miss Plus America Pageant system is a nonprofit organization that celebrates the full-figured woman by providing traditional beauty pageant competition for teens and women ages 13 and older, sizes 14-wide and higher. The organization operates 18 state-wide pageants, including Washington, D.C., and an annual national pageant. “I was very surprised,” said Farmer. “I’ve always considered myself the underdog, so it was nice to win.” Farmer said for her, this was an event that promotes positive thinking about one’s image. “It’s about celebrating where I am now, although I am in the process of transforming my body and lifestyle,” she said.

in attendance at state parks and visitor attractions, South Carolina’s $18 billion tourism industry continues growing compared to last year. Figures released Friday by the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism show that during March, revenue per available room — a key indicator of industry health— increased almost 10 percent compared to March 2014. For

Goodman said the competition is a sisterhood of women who support each other. “It’s all about self-worth,” she said. “We all have this perception of a perfect-size woman, when it’s really not necessary. We should just be happy with the way we are. We want women to know they are beautiful no matter if they’re size two or 52.” Farmer is a teacher, and her platform at the pageant was called Focus on Literacy, which aims to bring reading and literacy awareness to children. She has organized book drives in a school. Her next goal is to distribute books to places such as barber shops and beauty salons, so that a child will have something to read while his or her parent is getting a haircut. She

the calendar year to date, revenue per available room averages just under $50.

Jury: Fort Mill baby’s death a homicide YORK — A York County coroner’s jury has ruled the death of a newborn baby at a Fort Mill birthing center last January was a homicide. Dr. Craig Hart of York Pathology Associates testified

also plans on hosting “Reading Night Out” events. Goodman’s platform was the Boys and Girls Club of Sumter. The club is part of a national organization that provides various programs for recreation and companionship for students, both after school, during the summer and more. Farmer and Goodman would like to encourage other women to enter the pageant. They would also like for anyone who is interested in having the women make public appearances to contact them. To contact Farmer, email her at ieshiafarmer@gmail.com. To contact Goodman, email her at blulove_07@yahoo.com. For more information on the Miss Plus America pageant, visit http://www.missplusamerica.com/.

the cause of death was from what is called meconium aspiration in which the stool of the infant was in the uterus and in the baby’s stomach and airway. York County Coroner Sabrina Gast says the finding of homicide means the jury decided there was someone responsible for the death. But she doesn’t foresee any criminal action.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Melissa McCarthy, left, faces off against a knife-wielding adversary, Nargis Fakhri, in a scene from the film “Spy.”

Actress, director set their sights on 007 in ‘Spy’ BY JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer Ridiculous questions about the funniness and bankability of women have clouded exactly what’s going on here: Nobody is a better comedic actress right now than Melissa McCarthy. She’s a combustible ball of comic fury rolled up in Chaplinesque sweetness, equally capable of profanity-laced verbal virtuosity as perfectly timed pratfalls. In her latest, the espionage comedy “Spy,” McCarthy dons a host of identities, a closet full of wigs and — in order to stay undercover but really just to switch things up — essentially changes her entire performance midway through. It’s a globe-trotting tour of McCarthy’s talent, throughout which she’s practically always kicking butt. Who was that double-O-what’s-

his-face, anyway? “Spy” is in many ways a great inversion of the Bond world, casting men such as Jude Law as the eye candy on the side while the center of the movie is played out between women: McCarthy and Rose Byrne’s snobbish, highcouture villain. McCarthy plays Susan Cooper, a contentedly desk-bound CIA operative accustomed to aiding far more elegant and suave field agents such as the tuxedo-clad Bradley Fine (Law, a one-time Bond candidate enjoying the brief fantasy of virtually playing the super spy). While Fine pursues supervillains at a Bulgaria casino, she’s whispering in his earpiece, monitoring above from a drone and swooning over his out-ofreach glamour. Cooper, though, is far away in a Langley headquarters cubicle, where the immediate concerns are more hum-

drum: mouse droppings and birthday cakes. Feig lingers perhaps a tad too long in the film’s first section, but it’s to a purpose: “Spy” is in many ways a workplace comedy about the indignities a capable woman must suffer in a male-dominated profession. When well-to-do arms dealer Rayna Boyanov (Byrne) outs all of the CIA’s field agents, Cooper volunteers to go undercover. But the big promotion isn’t all she dreamed of: When prepared for her covert gig, she’s handed no poisonfiring Rolex or a souped-up Porsche but gadgets hidden in fungal spray and hemorrhoid wipes. Her fake identity isn’t much more exotic: Carole Jenkins, mother of four. Once in Europe, Cooper, outfitted as a tourist, is completely out of place in the “Casino Royale”-like realm of elite espionage. It’s a world that surely doubles for superficial Hollywood, where

those who resemble McCarthy are seldom let under the velvet rope. At one high-priced dinner, she blurts an order of wine “with the grit of a hummus.” An agent shadowing her, Richard Ford (Jason Statham) resents her intrusion, while another, the absurdly passionate Italian agent Aldo (Peter Serafinowicz), continually gropes her. Statham nearly steals the film by playing a parody of his own grave, gonzo persona, popping up occasionally to attempt wildly unsuccessful feats of action stardom. The cast, generally, is likable, rounded out with British comedian Miranda Hart as a fellow desk agent and Bobby Cannavale as a terrorist trying to acquire a nuke. Cooper, it turns out, is surprisingly gifted in combat, and she steadily thrives by capitalizing on the underestimations of others.

Transplant surgeons saving children’s lives in Venezuela CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Clutching a tiny Bible, Gilda Velasquez leans over her son as he falls asleep with the help of a powerful sedative and a catchy cartoon jingle playing on a hand-held TV. “Remember, you’re a Christian, you’re a Christian,” she repeats amid her tears to Yin Carlos as orderlies wheel the 6-year-old into the operating room where he will get a new liver. For any family touched by liver disease, an organ transplant can be a second chance at life. But the procedure is practically a miracle in Venezuela, where an economic crisis makes even needles and acetaminophen scarce. Yin is benefiting from the efforts of a U.S.-based surgeon and his counterpart in Caracas who have helped save dozens of Venezuelan children with failing livers. The doctors now hope to replicate their success in such a challenging

environment as Venezuela and assist hundreds of boys and girls from other parts of Latin America and the Caribbean where pediatric transplants are unavailable. Dr. Tomoaki Kato of New York’s Columbia University Medical Center began performing the transplants in Venezuela a decade ago after he was contacted by Dr. Pedro Rivas Vetencourt, a surgeon at Caracas’ Policlinica Metropolitana. The Japanese-born physician says that back then he couldn’t even locate Venezuela on a map. But he and Rivas Vetencourt have now performed 50 pediatric transplants with living donors in the South American country, gradually building a large team of medical professionals. With live-donor transplants, surgeons remove a recipient’s diseased liver and replace it with part of the donor’s healthy organ. Both the do-

nor’s liver and the donated section of organ subsequently grow to full size. Kato and Rivas Vetencourt say they have a one-year survival rate of more than 90 percent for the procedure they perform at Policlinica Metropolitana, which is similar to outcomes in the U.S. After that, the risk of infection or complications falls dramatically, and most recipients go on to lead healthy, long lives. The socialist government provides 30 percent of the funding for the transplant program that aims to help poor families like Yin’s. Philanthropy, medical insurance and the patient’s family pay for the rest of the procedure that costs roughly $20,000 at the weakest of Venezuela’s three official exchange rates, including a steep discount by the surgeons. Yin’s family didn’t have to pay a cent because the father’s employer picked up the remainder of the bill.

D-DAY FROM PAGE A1 Jean Allen, Jerry Allen and Herbert “Bunny” Allen, enlisted in the military after the U.S. joined in the war. They all enlisted in the U.S. Army. Bunny Allen became a P-15 pilot in the Army Air Corps, Jean Allen trained to become an aerial gunner on a B-29 airplane in the Army Air Corps, and Jerry Allen joined the 178 field arterial in the infantry unit in the U.S. Army. During the time his uncles were away, Duffy said his grandmother kept a flag with three stars in the window, each star representing one of her youngest sons who were fighting in the war. Jean Allen spent the majority of his service in the Pacific Theater flying over Japan and the island of Saipan while Bunny Allen flew over Germany and Italy, and Jerry Allen traveled throughout Europe. Every night while his uncles were away, Duffy would pray for his uncles to come back home. Duffy said he would recite the same prayer, “Lord watch over Bunny, Jean and Jerry, and bring Bunny, Jean and Jerry back safely.” Duffy said he can remember other families receiving information that sons and fathers had passed away, and he is always thankful that his three uncles returned home without injury. After returning to the States, Bunny Allen shared a few stories of his experiences of the war. Duffy said his uncle told him that one day while in

Italy, he was flying so low he could see people sitting on their front porches, and one man actually tried to shoot his plane down with a rifle. He said he and his uncles were always very close. “They were my friends as well as my uncles,” he said. “We could have been brothers easily.” Many families were unable to experience the safe homecoming of relatives during the war. David McInnis said he was about 9 years old when he was told that his cousin, James McCutchen DuBose, had been killed during the war in 1943. DuBose enlisted in the Army in 1942 and left to serve with the American Expeditionary Force in North Africa in April 1943. On Sept. 25 that same year, DuBose was wounded after he and others came under “heavy shell fire” in North Africa. He died the next day. Two of McInnis’ uncles also fought during the war, but both returned home safely. McInnis said there was a great sadness throughout the family when everyone learned that DuBose had died. He said he was too young to fully understand the situation. “Most of it went over my head,” he said. “I knew there was a war going on and we were losing a lot of Americans, but I did not appreciate the danger,” he said. DuBose was first buried in Mt. Soprano American Cemetery near Nettuno, Italy, and his body was later returned to his family in Sumter and buried in Hebron Cemetery.

MABRY FROM PAGE A1 personnel. Conditions were crowded, bunk beds consisted off six beds stacked on top of each other. “I remember waking up at dawn, and we were right in the middle of the English channel,” she said. As the ships approached shore, the medical personnel, clad in Army uniforms and steel helmets, climbed over the sides of them using a cargo net. They jumped into landing crafts and made their approach toward the shores that 24,000 Allied soldiers had landed on nearly two weeks before Two nights after making landfall, the Red Cross doctors, nurses and staff set up a mobile hospital made of rows of tents in a field further inland. The tents included operating rooms, recovery rooms, mess tents and sleeping quarters. Mabry said the field hospitals were typically set up several miles behind the front lines. “We could hear artillery on either side of us,” she said. She said that she never let fear affect her as she stayed busy with her work. “I felt that I could do something to help these poor boys,” she said. “We saw all kinds of trauma, and we did the best we could for the troops.” Mabry was assigned to the 67th Evacuation Hospital, one of the mobile hospitals that followed the Allied invasion. By November 1944, the mobile hospital that Mabry was with had reached Malmedy, Belgium. It was at a hospital near Malmedy that she would meet her future husband, the late Buford Mabry. Buford was in the 99th Infantry Division, stationed

Eugenia “Gene” Mabry is seen with her late husband, Buford Mabry. The couple met at an American Red Cross hospital in Europe during World War II. Buford was an officer in the 99th Infantry Division, and Gene was a nurse in a mobile hospital. just east of Malmedy. The Allies and Axis armies were in a lull in their fighting. This was about a month before the German sneak attack that would lead to the Battle of the Bulge, in which the 99th Division was heavily involved. Buford Mabry, a lieutenant at the time, went out on a reconnaissance mission to locate a missing soldier who was injured, according to his son, Buford Mabry Jr. The lieutenant and a medic were walking through a snowcovered field when Mabry tripped on a mine hidden by the Germans. The mine exploded, severely damaging Mabry’s right leg. Mabry was treated by the medic and taken to the 67th Evacuation Hospital, where the lower part of his right leg was amputated. “They brought him in while I was on break,” said Gene. “I wasn’t supposed to treat officers, but I would often work where they were processed in.” Gene said that she looked at the tag which showed the description of the soldier’s injury. “It said ‘amputee’” she said. “I figured that I would

stay and talk with him to soothe his pain.” That initial conversation created a spark. After 10 days, Buford was transported to another hospital, but he began writing to Gene. The exchange of letters continued through the end of the war. During Christmas of 1945, when both Buford and Gene had returned to the U.S., Gene went to visit the woman he fell in love with at her hometown of Columbus, Georgia. One month later they were married. After the war, the Mabrys settled in Sumter, where Buford Mabry served as Sumter County superintendent for many years. Gene Mabry was a teacher at both public and private schools in the area. Buford’s brother, the late Army Maj. Gen. George Lafayette Mabry Jr., had landed on D-Day and was the first officer who had come by sea to report to Gen. Maxwell Taylor, leader of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, according to Buford Mabry Jr. George Mabry received the Medal of Honor for his actions in November 1944 during the Battle of Hurtgen Forest.

CLEMSON BASEBALL

Leggett hopes Tigers can keep up success BY PETE IACOBELLI The Associated Press COLUMBIA — Ex-Clemson baseball head coach Jack Leggett wished the Tigers success, even without their longtime leader at the top step of the dugout. Leggett issued a statement Friday, a day after he was fired by Clemson after 22 seasons. He led the Tigers to six

College World Series’ appearances, the last one coming in 2010. Leggett said he put “his heart and soul’’ into the program, and thanked his past players and coaches after nearly a quarter century with the Tigers. “I’m extremely proud to have been their coach and teacher and of all our accomplishments together,’’ Leggett

said. Leggett won 955 games since following the late Bill Wilhelm as coach in 1994 after two years as a TiLEGGETT gers assistant. He made the NCAA tournament in 21 of his 22 seasons at Clemson, but went 0-2 in regional play in each of the past two seasons.

Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich said Thursday that despite the team’s success under Leggett, “I think we can be better.’’ Leggett, 61, has not returned messages from The Associated Press. He took the high road in his statement, thanking administrators, support staff and athletic department personnel who he had gotten to know

during his tenure. “It has been a great pleasure to work alongside so many outstanding coaches and great people who have made a lasting impact on myself as well as Clemson,’’ he said. “I truly have met some of the greatest people in my life during my time here as leader of this program.’’

BELMONT STAKES

Yay or neigh on Triple Crown?

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

American Pharoah will try for a Triple Crown when he competes in today’s 147th running of the Belmont Stakes in New York. However, the debate rages on as to whether a Triple Crown winner will do much for a sport facing a myriad of problems.

Debate rages on whether elusive feat is enough to solve problems facing horse racing BY RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Associated Press NEW YORK — Will the long, long wait finally end in the Belmont Stakes today? If it does, and American Pharoah becomes the first Triple Crown winner in 37 years, it may not be enough to help the troubled sport of horse racing stay relevant. “It would be a shot in the arm for racing,’’ says Tom Hammond, who hosts NBC’s horse racing coverage. “But racing does have many prob-

lems, and a Triple Crown winner is not going to solve all those problems.’’ Amid a push to improve drug testing, a dwindling fan base and horse breakdowns, racing is a far cry from the popular sport it used to be in the days of Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed. The weeks leading to a Triple Crown try always create a buzz in the racing world and draws tons of interest from casual fans hoping to see a little history. The buildup usually results in higher TV rat-

ings, not to mention huge crowds at Belmont Park. The anticipation for another Triple Crown has been going

on since 1979, a year after Affirmed became the 11th horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. Twelve times, horses entered the starting gate in the Belmont, only to come up short at the finish, from Spectacular Bid in `79 to California Chrome last year. I’ll Have Another won the first two legs in 2012, but was scratched the day before the race with an injury. “I know every year it seems like people are so fired up about the fact that a horse is finally going to win the Triple

Crown,’’ says Larry Collmus, Belmont’s new track announcer who also calls the race for NBC. “And then they all leave and say, `I can’t believe this, it didn’t happen again.’ People are certainly ready for it.’’ Then again, maybe not. “Susan Lucci lost the Emmy award 18 times and it made her famous,’’ notes John Hendrickson, husband of Saratoga socialite Marylou Whitney.

Cavs’ Irving out 3-4 months with kneecap fracture

Florence hands P-15’s 1st loss of season, 11-2

BY BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — The Cleveland Cavaliers finished off Chicago and swept past Atlanta, even when Kyrie Irving wasn’t available. Now they have to find their way past the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals without him. Irving has a fractured left kneecap and

BY LOU BEZJAK Morning News FLORENCE — Florence Post 1 used a big first inning to jump out early in its anticipated American Legion baseball matchup with Sumter. Post 1 scored four runs on its way to an 11-2 victory over the P-15’on Friday at Legion Field. The game was a rematch of last year’s South Carolina state championship round won by

Post 1. Sumter dropped to 6-1 on the season, but remains 6-0 in League III. Florence improved to 8-1. All of Post 1’s runs in the first were unearned and came with two outs against P-15’s starting pitcher Britton Beatson. Ke’Shaun Samuel started the scoring for Florence with a single, scoring Weston Rogers, who reached on an error with one out.

Virginia outfielder Joe McCarthy, right, is mobbed by teammates during a 5-run eighth inning in Friday’s 5-3 super regional victory over Maryland in Charlottesville, Va.

Cavs rally past Terps 5-3 in super regional opener CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Kevin Doherty’s 3-run triple capped a 5-run eighth inning for Virginia and the Cavaliers beat Maryland 5-3 in the opening game of their super regional. Doherty’s hit came after the Terrapins (43-22) walked Joe McCarthy intentionally. The blast was almost caught at the wall by Terps center fielder LaMonte Wade, but it went off his glove as the bases cleared. Connor Jones (7-2), who allowed three hits and three runs in seven innings, got the victory. Josh Sborz finished for his 14th save. Maryland ace Mike Shawaryn allowed seven hits and was lifted for closer Kevin Mooney after allowing consecutive 1-out singles in the eighth. Kenny Towns and Pavin Smith greeted Mooney with consecutive RBI singles. He walked McCarthy with two outs and gave up Doherty’s first-pitch hit. The Terps scored twice in the fifth after Jones walked the bases full and Wade doubled to center with two out. MIAMI 3 VCU 2

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Jacob Heyward hit a 2-run single to highlight a 3-run second inning, and Miami topped Virginia Commonwealth 3-2.

Benintendi, the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, led off the sixth with a solo home run to left center off Bears’ (48-11) starter Jon Harris. The blast put Arkansas up 5-1, and it opened the door for the 6-run inning. Joe Serrano added a 3-run home run in the inning and finished 3-for-4, while Trey Killian (3-4) earned the win.

LINGMERTH HAS 1-SHOT LEAD AT MEMORIAL; TIGER SURVIVES CUT DUBLIN, Ohio — David Lingmerth had a 7-under 65 on Friday at the Memorial and has a one-shot lead going into a weekend that includes Tiger Woods. Woods avoided a third straight bogey of his round by getting up-anddown from 40 yards with a 6-foot par putt for a 70 to make the cut on the number. It was the second straight tournament that Woods had to make a putt on his final hole to make the cut. He was 11 shots behind Lingmerth, who was at 12-under 132. Jason Dufner had two more eagles, including an ace, and was one behind. PETTERSEN, URIBE LEAD IN MANULIFE LPGA CLASSIC

CAMBRIDGE, Ontario — Suzann Pettersen shot a 7-under 65 on Friday for a share of the second-round lead with Mariajo Uribe in the Manulife LPGA Classic.

FRENCH OPEN

Djokovic-Murray semifinal suspended Winner faces wellrested Wawrinka in Sunday’s finale BY HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press PARIS — Novak Djokovic has waited and waited to win his first French Open title and complete a career Grand Slam, worrying about when — or perhaps even whether — he would get another chance after coming close in recent years. Now Djokovic must ponder all of that a little longer: His semifinal against Andy Murray was suspended in the fourth set Friday night, initially halted because of an impending storm and then put off altogether when the rain did arrive minutes later. The No. 1-seeded Djokovic won the first two sets 6-3, 6-3 and appeared to be in control, before No. 3 Murray took the third 7-5. At 3-all in the fourth, with dark clouds moving in and light fading, they were ushered off the court. Djokovic and Murray will resume today at 1 p.m. local time, a little more than 16 hours after they stopped. The eventual winner will face a much-more-rested Stan

TRIPLE CROWN

Earnhardt aiming for 3rd straight victory at Pocono

FROM PAGE B1 It’s been a generation since the last Triple Crown, so it’s tough to figure if ending the drought will help. The shortterm answer is: yes, it will. “It’ll be a temporary high,’’ said retired Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero, Jr., who finished well back in Belmonts that resulted in Triple Crowns for Secretariat, Seattle Slew and Affirmed in the 1970s. “It will only last a little bit, and then back to usual.’’ The reality is horses don’t run as much as they used to. In fact, many top 3-year-olds end up being retired to stud because the breeding industry is so lucrative. American Pharoah owner Ahmed Zayat said his colt will race until the end of the year, but breeding rights have already been sold to Coolmore’s Ashford Stud for what could end up being $30 million. With a win in the Belmont, why risk injury by running him again to draw a few more big crowds? “I don’t know if it’s going to resurrect the sport,’’ says Hall of Fame trainer Nick Zito, who will try to play spoiler a third time with 30-1 long shot Frammento. “But it will definitely help.’’ Affirmed, who dueled with rival Alydar throughout his career, continued racing after winning the Triple Crown through his 4-year-old season and drew large crowds everywhere he showed up. Same with Seattle Slew, who ran through his 4-year-old season. Secretariat, who ended a 25year Triple drought in 1973, finished off his 3-year-old season before being retired. He was a magazine cover boy, and remains one of the most wellknown names in all of sports. “I think racing is strong businesswise,’’ says Zito. “There are a lot of people buying horses. A lot of people are new in the game, a lot of rich people that like to compete in this game.

AXALTA WE PAINT WINNERS 400 LINEUP

LONG POND, Pa. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Steve Letarte were as much a comedy team around the garage as they were championship contenders last season. Carefree and cracking jokes, Earnhardt and his crew chief were best buds, one-liners flowing as often as victory lane champagne. EARNHARDT “Everything’s on the table as far as conversation,’’ Earnhardt said. The chemistry on the Hendrick Motorsports team led to Earnhardt’s career renaissance in the No. 88 Chevrolet. He won the Daytona 500, swept Pocono Raceway and was in the thick of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship until the final races. Like so many great comedy duos, Earnhardt and Letarte split up. Letarte took his open mic skills to the NBC Sports broadcast booth. Greg Ives, a race engineer for Jimmie Johnson’s record run of five consecutive championships, was team owner Rick Hendrick’s No. 1 choice to replace Letarte. Light on laughs, Earnhardt and Ives have clicked on the track. They have eight top 10s, won at Talladega and are fifth in the points standings. And they’re back Pocono, where Earnhardt reigns as the defending race winner. Earnhardt won both races on the tri-oval track last season and is try-

IRVING FROM PAGE B1 Thursday night. “As far as how we prepare, we’ve been through this. We’ve played games without Kevin, without Kyrie,’’ coach David Blatt said Friday, before the team announced Irving’s diagnosis. “We know how we want to play when they’re not in there. From that standpoint, we can pre-

LEGGETT FROM PAGE B1 Leggett also had kind words for fans who filled Doug Kingsmore Stadium during winning streaks and losing stretches. “Your enthusiasm and support will never be forgotten,’’ the former coach said. Leggett came to Clemson as assistant head coach in 1992 after spending five seasons as head coach at Vermont and nine seasons as head coach at Western Carolina. His 1,332 victories at the three schools ranked fifth among active NCAA

the strength of one statistic: He saved 16 of 17 break points. There were a few whistles and jeers directed at Wawrinka after he ended Tsonga’s bid to give France a men’s champion at its own tournament, something that last happened when Yannick Noah won in 1983.

tures, as did yells of “Allez, Jo!’’ and other support for Tsonga that prompted the chair umpire to ask for quiet. The temperature topped 90 degrees (32 Celsius) at Court Philippe Chatrier, and the players wrapped towels filled with ice around their necks at changeovers to try to cool off. “Heat didn’t bother me,’’ Tsonga said. “My opponent made my life difficult.’’ A year ago, after winning the Australian Open championship, Wawrinka lost in the first round in Paris. Now he’s into his first French Open final and second at a major. For Djokovic, so much is at stake this weekend. Finish off Murray, and he would face Wawrinka with a chance to become only the eighth man in tennis history to own at least one trophy from each of the sport’s four most prestigious tournaments, adding to his five from the Australian Open, two from Wimbledon and one from the U.S. Open. It would be Djokovic’s third appearance in the final in Paris. He lost in 2012 and 2014 to Rafael Nadal, the nine-time champion whose 39-match Roland Garros winning streak was ended by Djokovic in this year’s quarterfinals.

son swept in 1982 and won the June 1983 race. There’s another streak on the line, as well: Hendrick drivers have won the last five Pocono races (Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne have the other three). “We’ve just got really good stuff,’’ Earnhardt said. “Your car really shines here, whereas the driver is a little bit of a factor.’’ Earnhardt was a major factor last season and seemed poised to win his first Sprint Cup championship. He stamped himself a legitimate contender at Pocono when he became the first driver to sweep both races at the track since Denny Hamlin in 2006. In June, Brad Keselowski giftwrapped the win when he yielded the lead with five laps left in a desperate attempt to clear debris from his grille and cool his overheated engine. Keselowski’s gamble backfired — he couldn’t get the draft needed from the lapped traffic to clear his car and make one final pass for the win on Earnhardt. Earnhardt led three Hendrick drivers in the top 10. In August, Earnhardt said before the race the No. 88 was better than his winner in June and he proved it when he held off the hard-charging Kevin Harvick down the stretch for the win. Earnhardt swept a track for the first time since Talladega in 2002. “Miss not heading to (at) poconoraceway,’’ Letarte tweeted this week. “Last year was a blast.’’ Earnhardt said Letarte made all the right calls in both races.

He has been bothered by foot and then knee pain for most of his first postseason, sitting out the second half of the seriesclinching victory over Chi-

We’ve had a great rhythm. We haven’t had much luck, and we haven’t been healthy. But I haven’t gotten discouraged.”

‘Power’ returns to Starz; Tony Awards air Sunday BY KEVIN MCDONOUGH Isabela Moner stars in the new Nickelodeon comedy “100 Things to Do Before High School” (8 p.m. Saturday, TVG). She also provides voiceovers that perfectly capture the series’ tone. It’s precocious and fearful, silly and all-knowing. This is junior high school, after all. Look for the usual gaggle of nerds and jocks, cute guys and math whiz loners, “cool” teachers and threatening principals. We’ve all seen these archetypes before, but presumably, they’re relatively new to the audience for this show, kids doing their last few things before contemplating seventh grade. • Some people are busier in high school than others. Lifetime doubles down on the old “girl in trouble” melodrama with “Double Daddy” (8 p.m. Saturday). It’s bad enough for Amanda (Mollee Gray, “High School Musical”) when she discovers that boyfriend Connor (Cameron Palatas) has left her in the family way, but then she discovers that he’s also the father of another girl’s little dividend. Connor does his best to own up to his responsibilities, but when tongues start wagging in the corridors, he and his two ladies in waiting discover that there’s just so much a 17-yearold can do. • Like the music scene it purports to represent, the gangster / nightclub / music scene melodrama “Power” (9 p.m. Saturday, Starz, TV-MA) is slick, violent, profane and a tad too familiar and predictable. Season two begins with Ghost (Omari Hardwick) accelerating his drug business in order to fund the nightclubs that he hopes will allow him to go completely legitimate. And he has to make all of his dirty money before his prosecutor paramour (Lela Loren) figures out that he’s the big fish that she’s been trying to catch. “Power” is produced by Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson. • Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming host the 69th Annual Tony Awards (8 p.m. Sunday, CBS), recognizing the best of Broadway during the past year. Look for a special number by Josh Groban, who will be joined on stage by 175

performers — the most in Tony Awards history. Don’t try watching that on your phone! • While the Tonys honor the best of Broadway’s actors, the ID Network has become a special place for practitioners in the art of re-enacting. ID specializes in quasi-documentary re-creations of lurid crimes. Enhanced by slow motion, dark shadows and voice-overs, these offerings don’t really rely on riveting performances. After all, most of the “stars” of ID shows are corpses. Sunday night, the network launches “Serial Thriller: Angel of Decay” (10 p.m., concluding Monday and Tuesday, TV-14), a three-part miniseries look at a Washington state community torn apart by a series of killings way back in the 1970s. Devoting hours to “Decay” may be a trying experience. And not just for the performances. The curious approximation of ‘70s hair, makeup and costuming looks more like the result of a random burglary of a thrift store than the kind of studied art direction you’d expect from period dramas. It’s a scary show to behold. But for all the wrong reasons. • At least “Serial Thriller” doesn’t pretend to be anything besides a really low-budget true-crime show. “T-Rex Autopsy” (9 p.m. Sunday, National Geographic, TV-14) plays fast and loose with the truth. It never comes out and says it’s a complete fake, but instead presents its “discovery” with the amped-up shock and awe of a reality show. Scientists are introduced with all of the reverence of new “Bachelor” contestants, gathered around what looks like a recently discovered body of a gigantic dinosaur, lying before them on a giant slab, plump and intact. Questions of how this specimen was preserved or where it was found are artfully avoided. And how such a thing might smell is another matter! Just what relationship this special has to the promotional budget of the new “Jurassic World” movie is anybody’s guess. From “Alien Autopsy” to “Mermaids: The Body Found,” tabloid TV specials have used and abused science and science fiction to attract

JOE ALBLAS / LIGHTWORKERS MEDIA / NBC

James Callis stars as Antipas in a scene from the “Brothers in Arms” episode of “A.D. The Bible Continues” airing at 9 p.m. Sunday on NBC. gullible viewers. Still, it’s very sad to see an institution like National Geographic lend its name to this P.T. Barnum-like bunk. • “Mummies Alive” (9 p.m. Sunday, Smithsonian) may sound like a fake science exploitation series, but it’s the real deal. Jason Priestley (“Beverly Hills, 90210”) hosts this look at mummified remains and the stories they tell. From the preserved 3,000-year-old body of a pharaoh to a 120-year-old body stored away at a Wild West curiosity shop, these desiccated cadavers offer hints about the lives and deaths of their owners, and of their time on Earth.

• Regional coverage of Major League Baseball (7 p.m., Fox). • The X Games (8 p.m., ESPN) continue. • An escape from abuse on “In an Instant” (9 p.m., ABC, r). • Rachel’s promise comes at a price on “Orphan Black” (9 p.m., BBC America, TV-MA). • The fur flies on “Treetop Cat Rescue” (9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Animal Planet, TV-PG). • Melissa McCarthy, Jude Law, Chris Pratt, John Bishop and Florence and the Machine appear on “The Graham Norton Show” (10 p.m., BBC America, TV-14). • Chris Pratt hosts “Saturday Night Live” (11:30 p.m., NBC, r, TV-14), with musical guest Ariana Grande.
