Saturday, public relations manager Jim Callicott estimated there were at least 800 people from all over the country.

“We have at least as many as last year, if not more,” Callicott said of the event, which was held at the Sevierville theater in Governor’s Crossing. “Word of mouth really got out.”

Festivities included games and activities for children, as well as a buffet and showing of “Soul of Shaolin” for the families.

Callicott remembers one especially poignant moment from last year’s reunion.

“There was a child who turned to her mother and said, ‘Mama, there’s other kids here who look just like me.’ A lot of these kids were infants when they were adopted and don’t know a lot about their heritage. This is a

chance for them to learn more.”

Callicott said that Bluebell Ice Cream donated 500 ice cream cups for the event, which also included a pen pal match-up for the children.

NATIONAL PARK — Some forethought by officials with Great Smoky Mountains National Park and federal stimulus dollars are helping to secure new life for a lost past in the Elkmont Historic District.

Work started several months ago on efforts to both improve access to the area and save some of the buildings in this logging town-turned tourist destination. The efforts started quickly thanks to an infusion of government money through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and are expected to go a long way toward saving one of the county’s largest historic districts.

Of the approximately 70 structures in what is now a national park campground and hiking area, 19 are set to be saved under a proposal that completely reverses park service policy in Elkmont. Where a 1982 document mandated the buildings be left to rot with little intervention, a new plan approved just last year calls for work to be done to save at least some of the structures, which have been added to

the National Register of Historic Places.

“The buildings we are saving are the ones that have been deemed to be ‘contributing to the cultural history of the area,’” national park Cultural Resources Program Manager Dianne Flaugh explains. “Even

with many of the noncontributing structures, there will be remnants left behind like stone walls and chimneys that will suggest to folks the buildings that once stood there. When people come to this area and walk through it, they’ll see only a few structures stand-

ing, but they’ll be able to see what the area used to be because of all those sidewalks and walls and chimneys.”

The buildings that are preserved will be brought back as close to the way they stood when people last lived or vacation in them as possible. That

will mean a considerable amount of effort on the part of the National Park Service employees and contractors who will be working on the jobs.

Spence House soon will stand alone on Millionaire’s Row

Workers have already begun restoration work on the old Appalachian Clubhouse, a large structure sided with darkly-stained Douglas fir slats. Efforts to date have included setting new supports and reinforcing the underpinning. (Related picture on Page A5)

NATIONAL PARK — Among the most impressive homes in the Elkmont area when it was a boom town for tourists and a playground for the super wealthy was the Spence House, a wood structure with two wings, a recognizable doorway and a stone deck on the Little River.

The home, while always noticeable because of its size and position at the start of the Little River trailhead, will soon stand alone on Millionaire’s Row, the last remnant of opu-

lence in an area that once hosted some of the region’s wealthiest vacationers.

Fa.rther down the Little River Trail, the other homes of Millionaire’s Row sit mostly forgotten under a canopy of hardwood and pine, darkened by shadow and years of weathering.

The once well-maintained structures are now some of the most rotted in the valley, with roofs that sit in pieces on the shag carpeting and floors so warped they look like undulating hills that at points rise to steep peaks.

Among them, the Spence Cabin may be the most

adoption when they were unable to have children of their own.

“We had been on the domestic list for a year when we felt led to China,” Beth said. “Five years ago, we adopted Liana, 6, and two years ago, we adopted Marah, 3. The experience has been wonderful, such a blessing. They have fit in with our family so well.”

Roger and Jill Allen of Kodak adopted 3-yearold Alyssa two years ago in September.

The couple decided to adopt in November 2005 and mailed their paperwork in May 2006. But they were in for a long wait, and they

considered adopting a special needs child.

“I was looking at the list of children they sent us one day,” Jill said of Bethany Christian Services. “The first name on the list was ‘Alyssa,’ which was what we wanted to name our daughter. We found out she had a hole in her heart.”

In April 2008, Jill received a call with the happy news that she had a daughter. Just a few months later, she and Roger traveled to China to bring her home.

Alyssa has since had surgery for the hole in her heart and is happy and healthy.

“This gives us a chance to meet other families who have adopted children from China and keep in touch with them,” Jill said of the reunion. “It’s amazing they do things like this for us.” n ebrown@themountainpress.com

HENDERSON (AP) — Police in West Tennessee say a husband and wife have been killed in an apparent murdersuicide.

The couple were found dead in their home on Lott Road in Chester County. Chester County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the call around 8:15 a.m. CDT on Saturday.

Sheriff Blair Weaver declined to identify the couple.

Neighbors said they didn’t hear the shootings and weren’t alerted until the couple’s 6-year-old son knocked on a door because he couldn’t get into his house.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Police say a nearly nude body found at an abandoned rest stop along a U.S. highway in Ohio has tentatively been identified as a Tennessee woman.

Pickaway County Sheriff Dwight Radcliff said Saturday that fingerprint data shows the woman found Friday along U.S. Route 23 is 36-year-old Kim Vaughn of Memphis. He says an autopsy has not revealed cause of death and that lab tests will be done in an effort to determine how she died.

Investigators say Vaughn was last seen alive at about 2 a.m. Thursday near a truck plaza at an exit along Interstate-75 and I-40 in Knoxville, about a six to seven hour drive from her home.

Townsend, whose family name was lent to the town built up around the lumber operation’s headquarters, and her sister Anna Morier, with the pair selling it to the state in 1933, according to national park information.

Records indicate the cabin was constructed in 1928, with park officials writing in documents regarding the Elkmont Historic District that “it is clear from a review of the cabin’s construction that someone involved had a sophisticated understanding of building design.�

The driveway remains framed by a stone gate and line by old river rocks. It leads to a onelevel home with faded pink paint on two wings and a central structure of log construction. In the middle is a massive stone chimney that frames the main entryway, which leads into a large room backed by a screened porch.

Directly below that space is a dressing and restroom area, connected

to a stone deck on the Little River by a walkway of river rocks.

When he visits the site, national park Chief of Facilities Maintenance Alan Sumeriski says he imagines children running along the path down to the river, shrieking with delight as they reach the frigid water and take their first timid steps in.

Though massive boulders create tumbling rapids just upstream, the water here is relatively calm thanks to a nearby makeshift dam that created a natural swimming pool in the river. Signs of the dam remain today.

On the porch, Sumeriski sees a social gathering of well-to-do parents, sitting in rocking chairs keeping a watchful eye on the merriment below. Off to the left of the screened area,

servants prepare a buffet dinner while cicadas keep up their steady songs in the tulip poplars that surround the house.

Now, the home and surrounding woods still draw crowds at least a couple times a year. As folks gather among the trees to see the fireflies of Elkmont do their synchronized dance, many traipse through what was once the Spences’ front yard, while others fill in the smalle depression that once served as the community pool.

In the future, the building will be reinforced and lifted in areas where the foundation has settled.

New light fixtures matching the old ones will be installed and, while the existing 1950s-era fuse box with the round, glass switches will remain, a

new, up-to-code system will actually control the electricity.

The kitchen area will be fitted with fixtures that will enable day use groups that reserve the home to prepare meals that they can take on the screened porch just like

those socialites of about 80 years ago did. As the work progresses, folks will be locked out of the area, with the Little River Trail rendered inaccessible as heavy movers create a parking lot at the trailhead and workers take to the Spence house.

“It really is a beautiful old house,� Smokies Supervisory Facility Operations Specialist for Historic Preservation Gray Zbel says. “I think people will really be pleased when we get this work done.� n dhodges@themountainpress.com

Foothills Parkway to close today

Great Smoky Mountains National Park has announced the temporary closure of the Foothills Parkway in Cocke County today to aid in the next phase of a construction project to rehabilitate the 5.6-mile road.

The project is expected to be completed on Aug. 20.

Both lanes will need to be rebuilt, officials said, which will leave those sections impassable.

The construction work, which began in May, is funded by federal stimulus money.

Construction of ramps will provide handicap access to sidewalks at overlooks. n

Lane shifts set on HIghway 66

A lane shift on Highway 66 around the Fred Atchley bridge is scheduled this week so overhead utility cables can be strung.

The contractor will continue the five-minute stoppages on Highway 66 weekdays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. and again from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Overhead utility companies will be working from East Main Street to King Street transferring overhead lines to new poles. They will have the northbound lane over the Atchley bridge shifted to the southbound inside left-turn lane Tuesday and Wednesday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Those headed north from Sevierville or Pigeon Forge should use the bypass (Highway 448, called the Ultraflow) during these hours to avoid delays.

Natchez bridge site of many fatal leaps FRANKLIN (AP) — A highway bridge in Williamson County touted for its unique design is also the site of at least 13 suicidal leaps since its construction two decades ago.

The Natchez Trace Parkway Bridge crosses New Highway 96 West in the northwestern part of the county and extends more than 1,500 feet between a pair of tree-topped hills.

There is also a drop of 155 feet to dry ground.

“I’m not sure why the bridge is such an attrac-

Scott Ridgeway, executive director of the Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network, says he believes the bridge has the highest number of suicides of any bridge in Middle Tennessee.

Ridgeway is advocating for signs to be placed on both ends of the bridge that would give a phone

“The idea is to tell people there’s hope out there and people waiting to listen to your concerns,” Ridgeway said.

The Williamson County sheriff’s office has suggested installing a fence or net on the bridge. But Foster said officials have no plans to install signs, nets or fences.

“My personal thought is that every suicide we have are individual tragedies that come to a final conclusion,” Foster said.

Conservation fund merits full funding

By Pat Byington Guest columnist Just a month ago, my 6-year old daughter Whitney and I traveled to a nearby state park, where we learned from a nature educator how to build fairy houses.

That’s right — fairy houses.

Using fallen leaves, branches, acorns (picking live plants are not allowed), and a heavy dose of imagination, my daughter, who is a city girl at heart, surprised her parents, becoming a fairy house architect in a matter of hours. And ever since that wonderful day she has loved forests and nature.

Every day we are bombarded with negative messages about our government. CNN has a regular “Broken Government” series. The Pew Research Center has just released polls showing that distrust in government is at an all-time high.

But there is one federal program that, for more than 40 years, has strengthened our communities, protected our natural resources, and secured thousands of jobs. In fact, it helped create the state park that is home to my child’s fairy house. That program is the Land Water and Conservation Fund (LWCF).

LWCF is one of the most successful conservation programs in U.S. history, but most Americans have never heard of it. The program’s impact has been immeasurable.

In Tennessee alone, LWCF has created or funded more than 600 local and state parks.

The Cherokee National Forest, Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge, Chickamauga Military Park are just three of the national units that have benefited.

This morning, when my daughter drinks a glass of water from the tap, that water is drinkable because our national forests and local forest preserves are protecting the watersheds that naturally cleanse and filter our waters. In fact, according to a study by the American Water Works Association, forest cover in a watershed results in lower water treatment costs. For every 10 percent increase in forest cover in a water source area, treatment and chemical costs decrease 20 percent.

LWCF helps increase forest cover.

In a year or two, my daughter might take up her daddy’s passion: soccer. The soccer field she will play on will likely be one of the 700 parks and fields funded by LWCF in Tennessee. These open spaces are helping combat childhood obesity, which has tripled since the 1960s.

In a couple of decades, perhaps my daughter will inherit her great-grandmother’s love of history and heritage. She could follow in her footsteps and join the Daughters of the American Revolution. In time, she will walk the Overmountain Victory Trail in North Carolina, where the original Tennessee Volunteers, including one of her ancestors, crossed over the mountains to support the American patriots in South Carolina in the decisive Southern Revolutionary battle of King’s Mountain.

She can relive that brave moment in our family and country’s history because LWCF has saved portions of the trail. But will she be able to experience it? According to the National Park Service, half of the 677 identified sites associated with the Revolutionary War have been destroyed or extremely fragmented.

In coming years, my daughter with her own family probably will follow her parents’ lead and hike the Cumberland Mountains, and escape to the many waterfalls and streams in the Smokies. She will seek unmarred landscapes and strong communities that cherish their natural resources and make a pretty good living sharing it with others.

But it is a race against time. Recent Forest Service studies predict that we will lose 44 million acres of private forest nationwide to development by 2030. LWCF is one program that will help save our special places.

Despite success in garnering bipartisan support in Congress, LWCF has never been funded adequately. In fact, most of the time, it has received only one dollar for every three dollars it is supposed to receive from Congress.

That may be about to change. For the first time in a decade, Congress is seriously considering full and permanent funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund. The legislation has two powerful allies: the chairmen of the House and Senate Natural Resources committees.

In the coming months, members of the Tennessee delegation will be asked to take a position.

Let’s hope they stand on the side of safe drinking water, children’s health, our heritage, special places and yes — fairy houses.

Editorial

Defining loyalty

LeBron James doesn’t deserve name calling, trash-talking over his decision Loyalty is a funny thing. We all demand it and expect it, but of course only terms which we define. “Whose bread I eat, his song I sing,” the German saying goes. Nice sentiment, but sometimes the grass really is greener somewhere else.

LeBron James gave the Cleveland basketball team seven years of loyalty.

This was his home state, and he was proud of the connection. His very presence filled the arena every time the team played at home. He drew huge crowds when Cleveland traveled. His teams had the best record in all of pro basketball for the last two seasons, but didn’t win a title.

James never tried to break his contract. He never demanded to be traded.

His statistics and honors certainly show he was an outstanding player. He waited until the end of his contract, his free agent period, to look elsewhere.

And now he has changed teams — not for money, but for what he feels is a better chance to win a title. He

knows that greatness in team sports is often determined by championships, not personal numbers.

Everybody from ESPN commentators to newspaper columnists to bloggers to regular fans weighed in on what he ought to do and where he should go play, as if somehow they knew what was best for him. Remember the scene in “The Godfather II” where consiliare Tom Hagen tells young Michael Corleone that many times he and Michael’s father had talked about Michael’s future. Everybody knows what everyone else ought to do.

Professional sports is a business, not a hobby or recreation. In the early days of professional sports, owners controlled the movement of players. You signed their contract for the money they offered, or you didn’t play at all.

That personal servitude is over, as well it should be. Now you can make your best deal, and owners can still trade or release players. It works both ways.

LeBron James owed Cleveland his

best and he gave it to them. To be vilified by Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert as some sort of turncoat — the same owner who the day before wanted desperately to re-sign the star and for more money than the Miami Heat would pay him — is like the fox that couldn’t reach those hanging grapes, and then insisted they were probably sour anyway.

You can be critical of the manner and spectacle in which James made the announcement. You can be disappointed he didn’t choose your favorite team. You can question the wisdom of his decision. But don’t question his loyalty or his professional goals. Do not, as Dan Gilbert did, call this talented basketball player a quitter, a “former hero” and a cursed athlete. That sounds childish and immature.

We do not know what is best for LeBron James, or anyone else for that matter. He plays the game. He should get to decide his own future.

Political view

Public forum Supreme Court nominee makes no secret of her pro-abortion views

Editor: Many of us did not hear the testimony of two pro-life advocates who informed the Senate Judiciary Committee that Supreme Court nominee, Elena Kagan, has not fully informed the committee of her extensive abortion lobbying as a member of the Clinton administration.

They pointed out that Kagan attempted to lobby two different medical organizations to change their opinion on partial-birth abortions to justify Bill Clinton’s veto of a ban on them.

The Supreme Court ultimately cited the views of these organizations as a reason to initially declare the partial-birth abortions ban unconstitutional in a 2000 case, before later reversed itself in a decision upholding a national ban brought by the Bush administration.

The witness for Americans United for Life, Charmaine Yoest, stated, “Kagan’s record shows she was willing to manipulate the facts to pursue her own personal political agenda while serving as an advisor to President Clinton. Indeed, she demonstrated a pattern of behavior of letting her passion for a particular policy — in this case partialbirth abortion — overwhelm her judgment. I urge this Committee to officially investigate the discrepancies that have arisen this week between Ms. Kagan’s testimony and the written record about her actions related to lobbying the American Medical Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists during her tenure in the Clinton White House. The questions surrounding this period are troubling and call into question Ms. Kagan’s ability to adopt an impartial judicial temperament. She made a decision to

advocate for partial birth abortion to the point that she was willing to manipulate medical science.”

Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council, also testified and said the “just made public report of her re-writing of the medical findings of ACOG on partial birth abortion as advisor in the Clinton White House, raises doubts as to whether she possesses the requisite judicial temperament and impartial nature required of a Supreme Court justice. These positions and the temperament accompanying them make her unfit to sit as an associate justice on the Supreme Court. I urge the Senate to reject her nomination.”

Elena Kagan clerked for pro-abortion Justice Thurgood Marshall, whom she lauded, and her writings dating back to her college days are filled with accolades for judges who took the law into their hands and twisted it for a desired outcome rather than relying on those elected by the American public.

Kagan helped Bill Clinton defend his veto of a partial-birth abortion ban — the gruesome abortion procedure when a baby is birthed halfway and then jabbed in the head with medical scissors, killing him or her.

Kagan went as far as advocating that the Clinton administration not only ignore but manipulate the opinion of a national medical group (ACOG) that said there was never any medical justification for killing unborn children halfway out of the birth canal. She has also lauded human cloning and assisted suicide and we can expect those gruesome practices to expand if she becomes the next Supreme Court justice.

Spain reigns; no Dutch treat World Cup finale goes into OT

By BARRY WILNER AP Sports Writer JOHANNESBURG — Spain rules the soccer world, winning the World Cup at long, long last.

It came after an exhausting 1-0 victory in extra time over the Netherlands on Sunday.

Two years after winning the European title, the stylish Spaniards did even better.

This was a physical test of attrition that sometimes turned dirty — a finalsrecord 13 yellow cards were handed out and the Dutch finished with 10 men. In the end, it was Andres Iniesta breaking free in the penalty area, taking a pass from Cesc Fabregas and putting a rightfooted shot from 8 yards just past the outstretched arms of goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

“When I struck it, it just had to go in,” Iniesta said.

For the Dutch and their legions of orange-clad fans wearing everything from jerseys to jumpsuits to clown gear to pajamas, it was yet another disappointment.

Even with their first World Cup title tantalizingly within reach, they failed in the final for the third time. This one might have been the most bitter because, unlike 1974 and 1978, the Netherlands was unbeaten not only in this tournament, but in qualifying for the first World Cup staged in South Africa.

Soccer City was soaked in Oranje, from the seats painted in that hue throughout the stadium to pretty much everyone seated in them. Unlike when they lost to hosts West Germany and Argentina in previous finals, the Dutch were something of a home team this time.

The Spaniards, though, were the winners.

“We have all done an incredible job,” Iniesta said.

“I don’t think we even realize what we have done.”

Spain’s Xavi Hernandez celebrates after the World Cup final soccer match between the Netherlands and Spain.

They had pockets of supporters, too, to be sure, dressed in red and scattered around the stadium. They might have been the minority, but when the final whistle blew, they were tooting their vuvuzelas loudest in tribute to their champions.

The goal in the 116th minute came off a turnover by the Dutch defense that Fabregas controlled just outside the penalty area.

Iniesta stayed on the right and sneaked in to grab the pass and put his shot to the far post. Stekelenburg barely brushed it with his fingertips as it soared into the net.

Iniesta tore off his jersey after the goal and raced to the corner where he was mobbed by his teammates.

Several Dutch players wiped away tears as they received their medals as runners-up — yet again. They won every qualifying match and all six previous games in South Africa before the bitter ending.

The Netherlands now has

Netherlands’ Wesley Sneijder sits on the pitch after losing 1-0. more victories in World Cup games without a title than any nation: 19. Spain held that dubious record with 24.

Netherlands coach Bert van Marwijk took off his silver medal as soon as left the podium, with a look of dis-

gust on his face.

The Spaniards saluted their fans with arms raised high, then lifted their coach, Vicente del Bosque, in the air in celebration.

“This is immeasurable for Spain,” Del Bosque said.

Creamer wins Women’s Open by four shots OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Paula Creamer flinched in pain as shot after shot punished a left thumb that hurts so badly she couldn’t play for four months. Somehow, the worse she felt, the better she played.

Creamer shed the title of being the best women’s golfer to not win a major, never wavering during a four-shot victory Sunday in the U.S. Women’s Open and putting away a field that couldn’t match her confidence or steadiness.

Creamer made it look easy after beginning the final round with a three-stroke lead that never dipped below two shots, finishing the tournament with a 3-under 281.

Na Yeon Choi of South Korea shot a 5-under 66 to tie Suzann Pettersen of Norway for second place at 1-over 285.

It wasn’t easy. Not even close.

Limited to 40 practice shots before each round by a still-healing hyperextended left thumb that required surgery in February, the 23-year-old Creamer found the best possible way to limit the pounding on her hand: take as few strokes as possible.

Creamer, known as the Pink Panther for all-pink attire, ended with a 2-under 69, far better than the 75 she averaged during previous Women’s Open final rounds. She faded badly near the finish the last two years, and she missed the cut at last week’s Jamie Farr Classic won by Choi. But this time she was as strong as her thumb is weak.

It had to be; she punished that thumb by playing 52 holes during the final two days, 23 on Sunday, because of Friday’s rain suspension.

“I was in pain, but I was trying to do everything to not think about it,” Creamer said.

Lifting the silver trophy that goes to the winner? That was easy, too.

Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, the captain, accepted the trophy from FIFA president Sepp Blatter, kissed it and raised it for all to see while cameras flashed and confetti flew throughout the still-full stadium.

Soon, the entire team and staff gathered at midfield for a group photo. The players bounced up and down to the World Cup theme song, then took a victory lap as the trophy was passed to each member of the squad.

Santana saves Mets from sweep by Braves Atlanta has best N.L. record: 52-36

Associated Press

Paula Creamer kisses the trophy after winning the U.S. Women’s Open on Sunday.

Her lead briefly down to two strokes after four holes, her two biggest confidence-building shots of the day might have been long, par-saving putts on No. 7 and 8 — even as Choi was charging with the tournament’s second-best round. Song-Hee Kim had a 65 on Sunday and finished 13th.

Creamer, from Pleasanton, Calif., had two bogeys — laying up out of a bunker on the par-5 12th during the second — only to all but wrap it up by hitting to within 10 feet out of the thick rough on the par-4 14th. She then dropped a 10-footer for one of her four birdies.

Flashing a bit of a smile for the first time, she hit another exceptional mid-iron to 4 feet on the 442-yard 15th and made that, too.

NEW YORK (AP) — Johan Santana saved the Mets from a sweep with another spotless outing and rookie Ike Davis hit his latest titanic home run in New York’s 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.

Alex Cora and pinchhitter Josh Thole delivered RBI singles with two outs, and Angel Pagan had three of New York’s 13 hits. The Mets also got flawless relief work from Bobby Parnell and Francisco Rodriguez in their major league-best 13th shutout.

Fantastic at Citi Field for most of the first half, New York averted a three-game whitewash by its NL East rival but finished 2-4 on a disappointing homestand against a pair of first-place teams.

The Mets head into the All-Star break four games behind Atlanta, with star center fielder Carlos Beltran set to come off the disabled list Thursday night in San Francisco.

The Braves, who had won four straight, still own the league’s best

record at 52-36.

After scoring six runs in the previous four games, New York didn’t manage much on offense this time, either. Playing without ailing shortstop Jose Reyes and slumping slugger Jason Bay, the Mets stranded 11 runners and grounded into two double plays.

Still, Santana (7-5) and the bullpen made a few clutch hits stand up.

Coming off a three-hit shutout of Cincinnati on Tuesday, when he hit his first major league home run, Santana was brilliant again.

He allowed five hits and three walks in seven comfortable innings, striking out five.

Following a two-start skid, the two-time Cy Young Award winner has yielded one run and 14 hits in his past three outings, covering 23 innings.

Rookie shortstop Ruben Tejada, subbing for Reyes, made a diving play to end the seventh with a runner on.

Parnell came on to face the middle of Atlanta’s lineup in the eighth and set down Chipper Jones, Troy Glaus and All-Star Brian McCann in order.

Stricker holds on for John Deere life SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Steve Stricker won the John Deere Classic for the second straight year Sunday, holding on for a two-shot victory after leading by seven strokes.

Stricker couldn’t match the shot-making that allowed him to record the lowest 54-hole total in PGA Tour history. But he came through with a critical birdie after driving into the trees on No. 17 — the second straight day he put his ball there — and closed with a 1-underpar 70, just enough to beat Paul Goydos.

Stricker finished with a 258 — 26 under and a record for the tournament. Goydos, who dazzled the golf world with his 59 in the opening round, shot a solid 66 but still fell short of dethroning Stricker, who won for the second time this year and ninth time in his career.

Jeff Maggert shot a 70 to finish six strokes back.

Stricker led by six at the start of the day and quickly bumped the lead to seven with a 7-foot birdie putt on the first hole. But he had to battle through the rest of the round before essentially sealing his victory at 17.

After driving into the trees right of the fairway, Stricker punched out to 91 yards, right in front of the green, then knocked his next shot to six feet. Measuring the putt carefully, Stricker tapped the ball and as fans yelled “Get in the hole,” it dropped.

Goydos also birdied the hole to stay two behind, but his last hope died when he hit into the water on 18.

Stricker bogeyed the hole after laying up and hitting into the left rough, but it didn’t matter — he was a champion again.

Stricker, ranked fourth in the world, doffed his cap and hugged his caddie and Goydos after tapping in his final shot.

Goydos, who had been trying for his first win since 2007, qualified for the British Open with his secondplace finish. Deere officials arranged for two charter jets to fly the players direct to Scotland on Sunday night.

David Reutimann celebrates with his crew members in Victory Lane after winning the LifeLock 400 auto race at ChicagoLand Speedway in Joliet, Ill., on Saturday.

This one’s legit for Reutimann JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — The first one might have been lucky. This one was legitimate.

David Reutimann blew past Jeff Gordon and cruised to the victory in the Sprint Cup race at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday night.

For Reutimann and his Michael Waltrip Racing team, it was a polite told-ya-so to fellow competitors — many of whom weren’t shy about saying they didn’t think it counted when Reutimann won a rainshortened race at Charlotte in May 2009.

Reutimann called that win a dark cloud hanging over his head, pausing briefly when he realized he made an unintentional pun.

“OK, here you go,” he said. “Just leave me alone. We won the race.”

Carl Edwards made a charge in the closing laps, at one point cutting Reutimann’s lead to less than a second, but he couldn’t get close enough and finished second.

Gordon was third, followed

by Clint Bowyer and Jamie McMurray.

It was a rough night for several strong Chase contenders — notably Jimmie Johnson, who dominated the first half of the race but spun

out and later scraped the wall to finish 25th.

Kevin Harvick entered with momentum and the points lead but struggled all day long, eventually pulling into the garage with engine problems on lap 194. He eventually returned to the race and finished 34th.

Harvick still holds a 103-point lead over Gordon in the standings.

Greg Biffle also went to the garage with apparent engine problems late in the race and finished 35th.

Kyle Busch (17th), Dale Earnhardt Jr. (23rd) and Kurt Busch (26th) also had a rough night.

“We are pretty disappointed, (a) little bit devastated about how we ran tonight,” Earnhardt said. “(We’ve) got nobody to blame but ourselves.”

Several drivers said they were happy for Reutimann.

“We all got to hang out with each other every week, but he’s the guy you’d hang out with if you had an off weekend,” Edwards said. “He’s a good guy.”

And as of Saturday night, Reutimann can wave goodbye to any asterisks that were attached to his first career win because of

the rain.

“I’ve probably not seen anyone have to walk around for a year and a half and apologize about winning a race,” MWR general manager Ty Norris said.

And Reutimann made it clear he isn’t going anywhere at the end of the season, saying he has a handshake deal with MWR on a new contract. Norris said the team would announce specifics about the futures of Reutimann and crew chief Rodney Childers at the Brickyard 400 later this month.

“These guys proved tonight that they deserve a contract,” Norris said. “They deserve to be around.”

As Reutimann hunted Gordon down for the lead, his team came on the radio and encouraged him to wait for Gordon to make a mistake.

“Are you kidding?” Reutimann joked. “He’s Jeff Gordon. When’s he going to make a mistake?”

But Gordon did develop handling problems, allowing Reutimann to take the lead on lap 213. He moved in front again after a cycle of pit stops.

It was the 600th career start for Gordon, who joked that he’s beginning to feel a little old.

Wallace staying with Pistons DETROIT (AP) — Ben Wallace left the Detroit Pistons once. He doesn’t plan to do it again.

The former Defensive Player of the Year told The Associated Press on Sunday he heard from a lot of teams, but agreed to a two-year deal to stay with the Pistons about a week ago.

“This is the place I want to retire,” Wallace said in a telephone interview with the AP. Wallace, who expects to take a physical soon, will make $1.9 million each season.

Pistons president Joe Dumars said on the first day of free agency that the team’s first order of business was to keep Wallace and restricted free agent Will Bynum.

The 35-year-old Wallace was one of Detroit’s best players last season when it endured a miserable, injury-plagued year and didn’t make the playoffs for the first time since 2001.

Dumars has said he intends to be active this offseason, and Wallace is confident he isn’t coming back to a losing team.

“When we’re healthy, we’re pretty good,” he said. “If we stay healthy and improve, I think we’ll be able to compete.”

While several of his teammates went down with various injuries, Wallace didn’t miss a game last season until March.

He then missed several games toward the end of the year with sore knees.

INSULATED RODENT PROOF

Yankees’ iconic ‘Voice of God’ dies at 99 NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Sheppard, whose elegant introductions of stars from Joe DiMaggio to Derek Jeter at Yankee Stadium for more than a half century earned him the nickname “The Voice of God,” died Sunday. He was 99.

The revered public address announcer died at his Long Island home in Baldwin with his wife, Mary, at his side, the Yankees said.

Sheppard started with the Yankees in 1951 and he last worked at Yankee Stadium late in the 2007 season, when he became ill with a bronchial infection. He recorded a greeting to fans that was played at the original ballpark’s final game on Sept. 21, 2008, and his audio recording still is used to introduce Jeter before each at-bat at home by the Yankees captain.

When the team moved into new Yankee Stadium last year, it honored him by naming the media dining room after him.

While Sheppard didn’t like to give his age, a former Yankees official confirmed in 2006 that Sheppard was born Oct. 20, 1910.

The Yankees’ lineup for Sheppard’s first game on April 17, 1951, included DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Johnny Mize, Yogi Berra, and Phil Rizzuto. And the opponents that day, the Boston Red Sox, were led

by Ted Williams.

Sheppard became as much as a fixture in the Bronx ballpark as the familiar white stadium facade or Monument Park, tucked behind the blue outfield wall.

On May 7, 2000, after 50 years and two weeks on the job, the team honored him with “Bob Sheppard

Day” and put a plaque in his honor in Monument P a r k .

Fans gave Sheppard a standing ovation, and legSheppard endary news anchor Walter Cronkite read the inscription. Berra, Reggie Jackson and Don Larsen were among those who stood on the field during the ceremonies.

“The voice of Yankee Stadium,” read the plaque.

“For half a century, he has welcomed generations of fans with his trademark greeting, ’Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Yankee Stadium.”’

He also served as the stadium voice of the NFL’s New York Giants from 1956-05, and for men’s basketball and football at St. John’s University, where he taught, for Army football and the Cosmos soccer team. He also announced for the American Football League’s New York Titans at the Polo Grounds and the World Football League’s New York Stars at Downing Stadium.

But baseball is what made him famous. Babe Ruth gave Yankee Stadium its nickname, but Sheppard gave the ballpark its sound.

He announced at 62 World Series games and a pair of All-Star games, and

introduced more than 70 Hall of Famers across his career. It was one of them, Jackson, who dubbed Sheppard “The Voice of God.” “A voice that you hear in your dreams, in your sleep,” Braves third baseman Chipper Jones said Sunday. “Today’s a sad day.”

Sheppard’s player introductions remained consistent throughout the decades, with Sheppard imbuing each name and number with a gravitas more in keeping with a coronation than a ballpark outing: “No. 7. Mickey Mantle. No. 7.” Or even “No. 58. Dooley Womack.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder says there’s a real question about whether a terrorist suspect such as self-professed Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed can face the death penalty if he were to plead guilty before a military commission.

Holder proposed last year trying Mohammed and four alleged accomplices in civilian courts in New York City. But that idea generated so much controversy that it’s all but been abandoned.

He told CBS’ “Face the Nation” that it’s possible to impose the death penalty in a civilian setting for someone who pleads guilty. But he says there’s far less legal certainty about that possibility in a military setting.

Brazil: Air France jet lands after bomb threat

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — An Air France passenger jet from Rio to Paris that made an emergency landing in northeastern Brazil with 405 passengers aboard due to a bomb threat was scheduled to take off again Sunday night after no explosive was found on board.

The delay in the plane’s departure from the northeastern city of Recife was necessary because regulations require that the crew receive a certain amount of rest, an Air France spokesman in Brazil told The Associated Press by telephone Sunday. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter.

Solange Argenta, a spokeswoman with the Brazilian government’s airport authority, Infraero, said Sunday that authorities inspected the plane and its luggage “and no explosive was found.”

The Air France spokesman said take off from Recife was now scheduled for 8:10 p.m. local time

Carrie Underwood marries hockey player

ATLANTA (AP) — Grammywinning country singer Carrie Underwood has married NHL player Mike Fisher at a resort in Georgia.

“Yes, Mike and Carrie are married,” Underwood’s publicist Jessie Schmidt said in an e-mail to The Associated Press early Sunday.

The wedding took place Saturday at the Reynolds Plantation resort in Greensboro, Ga. Underwood, 27, rose to fame after winning the fourth season of “American Idol.” Fisher, 30, is a forward for the Ottawa Senators.

No details on where Underwood and Fisher will spend their honeymoon have been released.

But on Friday, the Wellingtons received a call from a neighbor half a mile up the road that Lucy had reappeared.

The Wellingtons say they’re certain the tortoise is theirs because of the unusual protruding bumps on its back.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Underpromising with hopes of overdelivering, BP said Sunday that it is making progress on what could prove its most effective effort yet to contain the Gulf oil leak, but cautioned that the verdict could be several days away.

A new cap being placed atop the gusher is intended to provide a tight seal and might eventually allow the oil giant to capture all crude leaking from the well for the first time since an April 20 oil-rig explosion set off the environmental crisis. But several prior failed attempts to stop the leak have made BP PLC careful to keep expectations grounded.

“We’re pleased with our progress,” said BP senior vice president Kent Wells, who then hastened to add the operation was still expected to last up to six more days.

Officials won’t be satisfied the cap is working until they’ve run tests on whether it can withstand the tremendous pressure of oil pushing up from below the seafloor, Wells said.

“We’ve tried to work out as many of the bugs as we can. The challenge will come with something unexpected,” he said.

The leak has has been gushing largely unchecked since an old, leaky cap was removed from the wellhead Saturday to make way for the new one. Between 88 million and 174 million gallons have already spilled into the Gulf, according to

Associated Press

Workers deploy a flange overshot tool designed to remove the flange on the Deepwater Horizon oil well.

federal estimates.

Wary Gulf residents and officials reserved judgment about BP’s latest effort and said the damage already done to the environment, fishing and tourism will haunt the region for a long time either way.

“At this point, there have been so many ups and downs, disappointments, that every-

body down here is like, ’We’ll believe it when we see it,”’ said Keith Kennedy, a charter boat captain in Venice, La. Robotic submarines finished removing a busted piece of pipe that was bolted around the leak around 3 a.m.

Sunday. That paved the way for the installation of a pipelike connector called a flange spool that will sit on top of the spewing well bore. The new cap would be mounted on top of that connector and have flexible pipes leading up to surface ships.

The work was being closely monitored at the White House, where President Barack Obama is being briefed multiple times a day, adviser David Axelrod said.

“We have every reason to believe that this will work,” he said.

The new cap will be aided in containing the leak by the arrival of the Helix Producer, a vessel that will be able to take in about 1 million gallons of crude per day by Tuesday after gradually ramping up.

Advice

Woman suspects friend may have taken valuables while on vacation

Zits

Blondie

Baby Blues

Beetle Bailey

Dear Annie: An old acquaintance agreed to look in on my cat while I was on vacation. Upon my return, I noticed that the lock had been picked on the door to the room where I keep my valuables. My purses, dressers and closets had been rummaged through.

Missing are several antique silver pieces and the contents of my jewelry box. There are dozens of other items I have yet to find.

Since my acquaintance is a respectable, churchgoing woman who wants for nothing, I find it hard to believe she would do such a thing. I asked whether she had let anyone else into my house, and she said, “No.” There was no forced entry, and no one else had access to my home.

What should I do? -Thou Shalt Not Steal Dear Thou Shalt: Report the theft to the police immediately.

It’s possible someone else broke into your home and your friend is unaware of it. She may have accidentally left the door unlocked on one of her trips in or out of the house. And she could be a thief or a kleptomaniac.

Don’t accuse her. Simply tell her you noticed several items were missing from your home and notified the police. Say you wanted to let her know because they may need her help.

Dear Annie: My youngest child passed away a few years ago, and it took my husband and me quite some time to find a headstone perfect enough to be the last thing we would ever buy for our child.

My daughter and I cleaned and polished the headstone and put beautiful flower arrangements in the vases we had built on each side. We made

sure the flowers were yellow and white. The problem is, a few days later, my mother-in-law took blue and purple flowers and stuck them in the same vase.

Although I truly appreciate that my in-laws want to bring flowers, I want these vases for my arrangements only.

Putting together the colors involves a lot of tears and emotions because it makes me feel like I’m still taking care of my child.

How do I respectfully tell my in-laws to stop messing up my arrangements and to instead put their flowers in those plastic vases that stick in the ground? Is it wrong for me to feel this way? -Unsure in Oklahoma Dear Unsure: You can’t help how you feel, but surely you realize that your in-laws are also grieving and want to “take care of” their grandchild, too. They aren’t trying to usurp your efforts. They are trying to contribute to them.

Approach this in a spirit of cooperation. Explain that you’d like the side vases reserved for specific arrangements. Ideally, you would allow them to add to those arrangements and feel a part of your efforts. But if not, provide them with a few plastic vases and ask if they would place their flowers in those.

Make sure you tell them how much you appreciate their assistance in brightening the gravesite.

We also suggest you contact The Compassionate Friends (compassion-

atefriends.org) at 1-877969-0010, a wonderful organization for those whose children have died.

Dear Annie: I agree with your suggestion that “Lonesome’s” wife should contact the American Cancer Society, but I believe your response lacked compassion for him. This man has bent over backward in his concern.

As a five-year cancer survivor who has to wear a pad because of leakage and sees the scar that runs from my waistline all the way down, I know what this does to one’s self-esteem. But cuddling doesn’t always lead to arousal, and sometimes a person just wants to hold the person he loves.

Your assumption that “Lonesome” is only interested in sex is female-biased. You need to cut him some slack.

-- Living, Loving without Sex in Illinois Dear Living: We realize some information was lost in the editing process, but even so, you are right that we should have acknowledged his patience over the past several years. He obviously loves his wife, and we hope they can work this out.
