ent,” Oakes said. “And I tellthem that it hasn’t moved infive days.”
Hoteliers have felt thisstrain on business since Gov.Charlie Crist declared astate of emergency. Oakessaid she could understandwhy it had to be declared —to open up federal funding,if needed — but people havereacted as if they can’t go toFlorida.
“People are very con-cerned about their con-firmed reservations in July,”Oakes said. “We try to reas-sure them, but this is like ahurricane — no one knowswhere it is going.”
July is scallop season,when many county busi-nesses make most of theirmoney.
Oakes said St. Pete Beachhas put Web cameras on thebeach to show on the Inter-net that people are on thebeaches. For Homosassa,people log onto the MonkeyIsland Web camera, but notjust to look at the monkeys.
“They can see the water,the boats on the water andpeople on the deck,” Oakessaid. “It’s a beautiful, sunnyday and everything is busi-ness as usual.”
At Wednesday’s meetingof the Tourism Develop-ment Council, Oakes saidKeith Gold, whose company— Gold and Associates —markets tourism for thecounty, discussed makingsure the TDC was proactivein keeping people awarethat they could come to Cit-rus County for their vaca-tions.
Oakes also said the TDChas taken part in a webinarwith the Visit Florida statewebsite, and the state hasfunds from BP for publicity.
“In a way, it’s like the 9/11scare when everyone feltsafer if they stayed close tohome,” Oakes said.
“Citrus County: Open forAdventure,” reads a newlink on the visitcitrus.comwebsite. The TDC has been
calling hoteliers to offersupport and is in contactwith the visitflorida.comwebsite’s travel advisory.
“Florida is open; thereare no closed beaches,” saidDanielle Ackerman with theTDC.
Vacation house rentalshave been struck, too. Rob-bie Anderson with PropertyManagement and Invest-ment Group said, “My twohigh weeks in July have hadcancellations.”
Anderson said her phoneand Internet traffic hadgone down, and she hasbeen trying to reassure hercustomers and urge them tokeep their vacation plansfor Citrus County.
“I tell them to wait untilthe last minute if they wantto cancel, and I won’t penal-ize them,” Anderson said.
Not every business hasfelt the impact of the oilspill.
Lynn Schweighart atMacRae’s of Homosassasaid their reservations havestayed the same. Therewere no cancellations forcobia season or MemorialDay weekend.
Statewide, the tourist in-dustry has reported declin-ing business to the point thatthe commissioners of theFlorida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commissionhave scheduled an emer-gency meeting next week toaddress the situation.
The FWC will meetWednesday in St. PeteBeach to discuss its ongoingresponse to the DeepwaterHorizon oil spill in the Gulfof Mexico. Since the oil spillincident occurred in lateApril, the FWC has workedclosely with county, stateand federal agencies to helpprepare a coordinated re-sponse.
“We’ve called this meet-ing because this is an un-precedented situation,” saidRodney Barreto, FWCchairman. “Not only couldthe oil spill affect our natu-ral resources, it’s already af-fecting the livelihoods ofour commercial fishermen,guides and charter boatsand other tourism-relatedbusinesses.”
According to the FWC,state officials and stake-holders are concernedabout the mistaken impres-
sion that Florida is “closed.”In fact, it is business asusual; there are no beachclosures, and all Floridawaters in the Gulf remainopen to commercial andrecreational fishing.
The FWC has contributedto the response through avariety of activities.
FWC scientists are map-ping high-priority fish andwildlife habitats to helpfocus protective measures.They are also conducting bi-ological assessments to es-tablish a baseline formeasuring the severity ofpotential impacts on fishand wildlife.
“We are moving into thebest possible position totake care of our fish andwildlife resources as thiscrisis unfolds,” said NickWiley, the FWC’s executivedirector.
“This is truly a well-coor-dinated team effort inFlorida. We are grateful forthe leadership and cooper-ation coming from of the De-
partment of EnvironmentalProtection and the Divisionof Emergency Managementthrough our state Emer-gency Operations Center.”
The meeting will start at10 a.m. at the TradewindsIsland Resorts. Anyone re-quiring special accommoda-tions to participate should

Editor’s note: May is NationalStroke Awareness Month. TheChronicle will run articles aboutstroke awareness provided bySeven Rivers Regional MedicalCenter the first four Mondays of themonth.
Special to the Chronicle
Health care professionals throwthe word “stroke” around in day-to-day health care conversations withrelative ease. But there’s more to“stroke” than most of us know. Oneperson’s stroke may not be the sameas another’s. It’s helpful to under-stand the different types of strokeand why they occur.
When an artery supplying thebrain with blood becomes blocked,suddenly decreasing or stoppingblood flow, it is called an ischemic
stroke. This type of stroke accountsfor approximately 80 percent of allstrokes and is usually caused byblood clots.
Blood clots can cause ischemicstrokes in two ways. A clot thatforms in a part of the body otherthan the brain, called an embolus,can travel through blood vesselsand become wedged in a brain ar-tery. When this occurs it is called anembolic stroke.
The second type of ischemicstroke is called a thrombotic stroke.It is caused by the formation of ablood clot in one of the cerebral ar-teries that stays attached to the ar-tery wall until it grows large enoughto block blood flow.
Ischemic strokes can also becaused by a narrowing of an arterydue to the build-up of fatty sub-
stances like cholesterol. The build-up along the inner walls causesthickening, hardening and loss ofelasticity of artery walls, which inturn causes decreased blood flow.
Not all strokes are caused byblocked arteries or reduced bloodflow. Twenty percent occur when ablood vessel ruptures in or near thebrain. This is called hemorrhagicstroke.
Hemorrhage can occur when aweak or thin spot on the artery wall,known as an aneurysm, balloonsout and ruptures. Another cause iswhen an arterial wall breaks openbecause plaque build-up has madeit brittle and thin, allowing the ar-tery wall to release blood into sur-rounding brain tissue.
Factors that increase the risk ofstroke include high blood pressure,
heart disease, diabetes, cigarettesmoking, high blood cholesterol,heavy alcohol consumption and useof illicit drugs.
Up to 80 percent of strokes arepreventable. The most importantrisk factor you can control is highblood pressure. Have your bloodpressure checked regularly andwork with your doctor to keep it at ahealthy level.
May is National Stroke Aware-ness Month. Seven Rivers RegionalMedical Center encourages you tolearn more about stroke, your risklevel and ways to improve yourhealth. For more information, go towww.mystrokecenter.com.

CCSO SERT defusesincident in InvernessCHRIS VAN ORMER
Chronicle
Shortly before 4:25 p.m.Sunday, Sheriff ’s Emer-gency Response Teammembers bean-bagged An-thony Keller, 47, strikinghim in the chest and ab-domen.
SERT members earlierhad made entry into theBurr Terrace home whereKeller, armed with a cross-bow, had barricaded him-self following a domesticdisturbance.
Keller was transportedto Citrus Memorial HealthSystem for treatment of hiswounds: a laceration andsome bruising. After re-lease, the sheriff ’s officesaid, he would be takeninto custody on charges ofaggravated assault with a
deadly weapon on a lawenforcement officer, plusdomestic assault.
Deputies had respondedto the Inverness Highlandshome just after 2:30 p.m. ona domestic disturbancecall. Apparently, Kellerhad threatened his wife,Maria King, 44, during thatincident.
Keller then armed him-self with an 18-inch alu-minum pistol-stylecrossbow and threatenedto kill any deputies whocame after him.
SERT members were inthe hallway when Kellerexited a bedroom andcame their way. Using less-lethal force, membersstruck Keller in the chestand abdomen with bean-bag shot, successfully de-fusing the situation.
story to the Chronicleabout how people in thecommunity who donate tothe ongoing Angel Fund atDunnellon Animal Hospi-tal and also Midway AnimalHospital helped pay forneeded advanced surgeryto repair the dog’s damagedlegs.
One of the people whosaw the story, Invernessresident Toni Harris, metthe dog six months ago at aCanine Festival at LibertyPark in Inverness.
She had already adopteda dog, MacDougal, and wasinterested in adopting asmall dog as a companionfor MacDougal, but cer-tainly not a big pit bull.
But there’s somethingabout this dog that peoplecan’t resist.
“She didn’t look so bigwhen I saw here (there),and she was quiet, so Ipromised I’d take her,”Harris said. “But when Iwent to get her that Mondayfrom Animal Services, shewas wild and willful. WhenI got her home, shemarched into my house andwent into every room —dogs don’t do that.
“That night, she jumpedup into my bed and pushedMacDougal out and got inmy bed and pushed me tothe edge, and I said, ‘Oh, no.This can’t be. I can’t havethis,’ and I was ready totake her back; I had no con-trol,” she said. “And she saton MacDougal — she stillsits on him.”
Harris said she tried put-ting her in a crate at nightto sleep, but in the morn-ings she’d howl to get out.
Just as Harris was aboutto give up, the dog startedbehaving. Instead of rush-ing out the door, she beganwaiting until Harris gavethe command to go — andshe began sleeping in herown bed at night, althoughsometimes she still sneaksinto Harris’ bed when shethinks no one sees her.
“She’s a good girl now,”Harris said.
Harris changed the dog’sname to Zoe, and as Zoe,the highlight of her day isher daily outing with Mac-Dougal and Harris to BarkCentral, the dog park in In-verness.
There, she runs, swims,chases squirrels and playsfetch with tennis balls.
“Because of her injuries,she drags her foot when shewalks, but she runs withease,” Harris said.
She doesn’t pay too muchattention to other dogs or totheir people; MacDougal’sthe more social of the two.But one day, Zoe surprisedeveryone when a womanfrom Animal Services wasthere and Zoe followed heraround trying to get her at-tention.
It turned out to be the of-ficer who rescued her.
“She remembered her,”Harris said.
Another time, during aGreat Dane puppy’s firstday at Bark Central, someother dogs were picking onthe puppy and Zoe inter-vened.
“Zoe came over to herand was mothering her,
protecting her,” said ErinMiller, the puppy Pene-lope’s owner.
“She’s one of the mostgentle dogs out here as faras I can tell,” added Bar-bara Ireland.
During the dog’s six-month stay at Animal Serv-ices, no one wanted toadopt her. Her legs, despitesurgery, are deformed.Plus, people are afraid ofpit bulls.
Harris said Zoe looksscary, but she’s one of thesweetest dogs she ever met.
Even so, Sylvia Youmanssaid they didn’t want to eu-thanize her.
“It was the look in hereyes,” she said. “She was sosweet. She just wanted peo-ple’s affection.”
Harris said she calledthe Chronicle to let peoplewho donated to the AngelFund know that theirmoney went to give a sweetdog a second chance at agood life.

Fineout asked a LightHouse member.
“Sure would,” Johnreplied.
John is a dishwasher. Hehas worked at many foodservice businesses as a dish-washer. Some of the busi-nesses had automaticdishwashers for John toload, and some didn’t, so hehand-washed dishes.
But in this economy, it’shard to get a job as a dish-washer. Highly overquali-fied people will take jobs asa dishwasher. Often, busi-ness owners decide to savethe wages and load the dish-washer themselves, Johnsaid.
John had to leave his lastjob because he was goingthrough a stressful time.
“But things got better forme now, and I’m ready towork, I’m motivated,” Johnsaid.
John would considerother types of work. He hasworked in labor pools.
“I could do lawn work,”John said. “But they usuallywant experience. I canlearn if they train me.”
John’s looking for part-time work because he is ondisability. He’s got his owncar, so could work anywherein the county.
George would like a job,too. Like John, George is ondisability, but he getsaround by bicycle.
George has experienceworking in cleaning andmaintenance for fast-foodrestaurants and supermar-kets, and he has taken careof animals.
George has a goal: In twoyears, he plans to go toschool to become a parale-gal.
Meanwhile, George has atough time tracking down ajob.
“One time, it took a yearand a half to find a job,”George said. “Employersdon’t understand the gaps inyour employment. One time,I lost a job to another personbecause they told me theother guy didn’t have somany gaps.”
The problem of gaps is
what the transitional em-ployment program tries tosolve. The Light House em-ploys a transitional employ-ment specialist, KathleenLumpkin, who trains withthe member and trains themembers. She learns theirjobs, because if a memberhas to miss work for somereason, she fills in. No em-ployer in the program has tocontend with an absent em-ployee.
The employer pays themember, not Lumpkin, andshe helps the member learnthe job until the employerand the member are com-fortable working togetheron their own.
The program is calledtransitional because thelonger-term goal is full-timeemployment. Members gethelp getting started.
Fineout said The LightHouse members are men-tally ill, but they are stable.To become a member of TheLight House, each membermust have a diagnosis anddocuments to show that heor she is stabilized. A psy-chiatrist signs a documenton each member’s behalf asa membership qualification.
As a clubhouse, The LightHouse gives its members aplace to socialize and learnskills. Each day, they sched-ule their own tasks to oper-ate their clubhouse on EastThomas Street in Inverness.The Light House operatesthrough the mental healthprovider The Centers.
Still questing for jobs, themembers will get some helpfrom their board of direc-tors, one of whom is Com-missioner Joe Meek, whosaid he would ask businessowners to offer jobs.
“The Light House is anexcellent organization pro-viding services to thecounty,” Meek said. “It’s anhonor to serve on theboard.”
Meek said he would drawon his role in county busi-ness as the president of theCitrus County EconomicDevelopment Council andwork with the Citrus CountyChamber of Commerce.
“We will do whatever wecan do to assist them fromthe chamber of commerceside,” Meek said. “We will
get the word out through ournetwork and make busi-nesses aware that thesepeople need employment.”

Obama honors law officerskilled in line of dutyAssociated Press
WASHINGTON — President BarackObama paid tribute Saturday on behalf of agrateful nation to law enforcement officerswho made the ultimate sacrifice while safe-guarding their communities.
Americans “rely on a certain order in ourlives, a certain sense of security that lets ussleep safely in our beds and walk aroundour neighborhoods free from fear and goabout our daily lives without being the vic-tims of crime. That sense of security doesn’tcome on its own,” he said in brief remarkson the west front lawn of the Capitol duringPeace Officers Memorial Day, which hon-ors officers killed in the line of duty.
“What makes it possible, what makesfreedom possible, are the law enforcementofficials that we honor today,” he said.
The event is part of National PoliceWeek, an annual tribute to law enforcementservice and sacrifice.
The president said he was proud of lawenforcement officials who chose their ca-reers out of a sense of calling to serve theirneighbors, neighborhoods and “to live a lifein service of others.”
“It’s a calling that carries immense risk,”he added, citing the uncertainty of whatthat next duty call might bring.
“Every day in America, families go abouttheir lives” — work at the office, droppingkids at school, said Obama, who was joinedat the event by Attorney General EricHolder.
“We often take it for granted, this cycle of
life.” But, he added, “chance can changeeverything overnight.”
Figures from the National Law Enforce-ment Officers Memorial Fund show that of-ficer deaths declined from 138 in 2008 to116 in 2009. That’s the fewest line-of-dutydeaths since 1959, when there were 109, ac-cording to the data.
More officers died in traffic-related inci-dents in 2009 than from any other singlecause of death, but the number killed bygunfire increased by more than 20 percent,according to the group’s report.
Associated Press
President Barack Obama bows his head dur-ing a prayer Saturday as he pays tribute topeace officers who died last year in the lineof duty during a memorial ceremony at theU.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. Obama saidthe officers being honored helped to giveAmericans a sense of security in their dailylives, a life free from fear, and said that'swhat makes freedom possible.

CAPE CANAVERAL — At-lantis arrived at the Interna-tional Space Station onSunday for what could be itslast visit, delivering freshbatteries and other equip-ment to help keep the out-post running long after theshuttle program ends.
For now, Atlantis’ dancecard is empty after thisflight, and NASA has justtwo missions remaining.But there’s a push to keepthe space shuttles flyinguntil next June and to giveAtlantis one last hurrah.
Shuttle commander Ken-neth Ham was visiblymoved as he floated into thespace station. He grabbedtwo of the station astro-nauts in a tight embrace.
“It’s bigger than we re-member and, speaking formyself, better than I re-member,” Ham said. “I lovethis place.”
The rendezvous by At-lantis was accompanied byconsiderably more picture-taking than usual, to makeup for a curtailed safetysurvey the day before.
Four of the six space sta-tion residents snapped atotal of 398 pictures usingzoom lenses as Atlantismade its final approach.The shuttle performed aslow backflip so all its sur-faces could be pho-tographed. An hour later, itdocked flawlessly with thestation, 220 miles above theSouth Pacific.
On Saturday, a snaggedcable prevented the sixshuttle astronauts fromproperly inspecting theirship. NASA ordered upextra pictures and doubledthe usual number of spacestation photographers.
The astronauts may try tofree the cable during aspacewalk this week.
“Thanks for the pictures.It’s all about the pictures,”shuttle pilot Dominic“Tony” Antonelli told thestation crew.
“The perfect lighting, andyou guys look marvelous,”replied Japanese astronautSoichi Noguchi, one of thephotographers.
The photo shoot lastedjust a few minutes against abreathtaking backdrop ofthe Portuguese coast,Spain, France and northernItaly.
Ham was struck by thespace station’s beauty as heguided Atlantis in. “You arebrilliantly glowing. It’s anabsolutely stunning view,”he said.
Noguchi’s greeting to At-lantis was more to thepoint. “Yee-haw!” he
shouted.Ham and his crew will
spend a week at the orbit-ing science complex, in-stalling a new Russiancompartment and replacingsix batteries. Three space-walks are planned, begin-ning Monday. If the cablerepair is approved, it likelywould be added to the sec-ond spacewalk on Wednes-day.
A cable on Atlantis’ in-spection boom is caught ina camera. The problem pre-vented the astronauts fromthoroughly checking theleft wing and some otherareas of the shuttle Satur-day. Flight controllers usedthe space station’s robotarm to photograph themissed areas after Atlantisdocked.
Shuttle inspections be-came mandatory in orbitfollowing the 2003 Colum-
bia tragedy.A piece of space junk,
meanwhile, harmlesslypassed 5½ miles from theshuttle and station an hourafter Sunday morning’sdocking.
Flight controllers hadbeen monitoring theunidentified object for a fewdays and determined Satur-day night that there was noneed for the space station tomove out of the way.

Space shuttle Atlantis’ cargo bay and its vertical stabilizer intersecting Earth’s horizonare photographed Saturday by one of the six STS-132 crew members. A snagged cableforced Atlantis’ astronauts to resort to a more inconvenient and less comprehensivemethod of inspecting their space shuttle. Atlantis docked with the International SpaceStation Sunday morning.

opinion of the Chronicle titled“Medical corridor an economicopportunity” (May 14), I wonderwhy those of us who pay ourtaxes, pay impact fees and haveto comply with zoning ordi-nances should then be told wewill also be required to subsi-dize (“Help pay for,” just to re-mind you what this casuallyoverused word means) thosepeople who least need public as-sistance to stimulate their highlyprofitable careers.
Hundreds of us — maybe thou-sands — have started businesseson a shoestring, an oversizedmortgage and restricted geo-graphical area access withoutasking for any handouts or spe-cial favors; or if we asked, weredenied. We are the ones whotruly add employees at a levelthat has a positive impact on thecommunity as a whole ratherthan subsidizing a select few atthe expense of others.
If a handful of doctors want tomove into Citrus County and buytheir Black Diamond Ranchhouses, let them pay their ownway. Otherwise, I will drive toOcala or Gainesville if that iswhat it takes to maintain a levelplaying field for all citizens.

Don’t blame BPI believe, after reading much
of what is being reported, whichis admittedly a limited amount
of information, that a series ofhuman errors on the rig and thelikely relief of “finishing up thewell” caused what can only becalled carelessness on the partof humans, 11 of whom tragi-cally paid with their lives.
What is clear to me is that aconfluence of errors, not neces-sarily company policy, was thecause.
It is way too easy to blame acorporation, as if that legal con-struct had a single mind, soul
and conscience. None do, butBP alone employs more than150,000 workers worldwide, notto mention those employed byTransocean, Halliburton andthe manufacturer of theblowout preventer on the well,as well as a host of subcontrac-tors. Before we call for theirheads, let us not forget the num-ber of people employed, most ofwhom are doing the best jobthey know how.
What happened is a tragedyto the families who lost theirloved ones, all the employees ofall the companies involved, theindustries that will likely be af-fected by the spill, and the ani-mals that will die as aconsequence.
I am troubled by the nonpro-ductive posturing and scoldingand political outrage by many ofthe organizations that are at-tempting to provide the prod-ucts and services that we as anation require to move ahead. Iam sure that many of those ex-pressing outrage are the sameones who were complaining of$3- and $4-a-gallion gasoline,the same ones who heat andcool their homes and drive towork.
Energy is an essential compo-nent of our existence. The morewe use, the greater the size ofthe accidents. That is life in thefast lane in which we choose tolive.
A risk-free world is an idiot’sdream.

History is not a Hallmarkcard. Sometimes, historybreaks your heart.
I know this because I haveoften recounted history in thisspace, tales of black men andwomen bought and sold, cheatedand mistreated, maimed andlynched. And when-ever I do this, I can beassured of e-mails andcalls of chastisement.
I still remember oneof the first, an earnestlady who pleaded withme to leave this his-tory behind. Tellingsuch tales, she said,could not help butmake black people re-sent white ones.
Her complaint pre-sented a quandary. Ifind the same value inrecounting those stories that myformer boss Bert used to find inremembering Holocaust brutali-ties and my friend John finds inrecalling Irish suffering at Britishhands. Understanding the pastprovides context to understandthe present and predict the fu-ture. Moreover, history is identity.These stories tell me who I am.
But there’s a difference, isn’tthere? Bert’s history indicts Ger-mans in Europe, John’s indictsBritons in the United Kingdom.Mine indicts white people, here.
So I’m not without sympathyfor people like that lady. This his-tory hurts. But is requiring menot to speak it really the best re-sponse to that hurt? Should ahard truth not be uttered for fearit might cause somebody, some-
where to resent?Her answer, I suspect, would be
yes. In that, she would be muchlike the state of Arizona, whereGov. Jan Brewer just signed a lawrestricting ethnic studies coursesin public schools. Having appar-ently decided she had not done
enough to peeve Latinovoters by signing a Dra-conian immigration billa few days back, thegovernor went after aMexican-Americanstudies program in Tuc-son. But the prohibi-tions in the new lawseem to say more aboutthe mind-set of the gov-ernor than about anyreal danger posed byethnic studies.
Specifically, the lawbans classes that “pro-
mote the overthrow of the UnitedStates government, promote re-sentment toward a race or class ofpeople, are designed primarilyfor pupils of a particular ethnicgroup, advocate ethnic solidarityinstead of the treatment of pupilsas individuals.” And you wonder:What sort of ethnic studies classesdid SHE attend? Is that reallywhat people think those classesare about?
Worse, the restrictions are sobroad, so void of legal precision,as to be meaningless. How doesone decide to a legal certaintywhether a class is “designed pri-marily for pupils of a particularethnic group?” How can oneknow with legal exactnesswhether a class will “promote re-sentment”?
Like the lady who called me,the governor seems to prefer thathard stories not be told, that doingso detracts from American unity.As one online observer put it, “Weneed to focus on America insteadof promoting everyone else.”
The problem with that reason-ing is obvious: America IS every-one else, a nation composed ofother nations, a culture made ofother cultures, a history built ofother histories. And yes, some-times, those histories will be hardto hear.
But silence does not make ahard story go away. Silence onlymakes it fester, grow and, some-times, explode.
It is in our narratives that weexplain ourselves to ourselves.That’s a crucial matter in a nationthat is, after all, bound not bycommon blood or ancestry, but bycommon fealty to a set of revolu-tionary ideals that begins, “Wehold these truths to be self-evi-dent...”
To those ideals have flockedmen and women from every othernation on earth, each with storiesof their own.
Granted, the challenge of incor-porating those stories into thelarger American story is daunt-ing. The governor seems to fearwhat kind of nation we’ll be if weaccept that challenge.
I fear what kind we’ll be if wedon’t.

after-the-fact item on thechecklist that asks, “How didwe do?” In most situations, thesuccesses or failures and thereasons for those successes orfailures are not only obvious,but they pave the way for fu-ture actions, goals and strate-gies.
After taking a few weeks tolet all of the emotions fall backinto place and to put the ex-citement of meeting goals thatmany rationalized were quiteunattainable, given the pres-ent economic con-dition, thosehundreds of peo-ple who took partin this commu-nity’s 2010 Relayfor Life events areadding up all ofthe factors thatplayed a part inthe overwhelmingaccomplishment.
And is therepossibly some-thing we shouldknow that can account forthose achievements that havenow caught the attention ofbigger cities, more affluent re-gions and even experiencedphilanthropists?
■?From yard sales, carwashes and pancake break-fasts, more than $242,000 wasraised, exceeding a goal thatmany would have thought tobe intimidating and certainlyunattainable.
■?Crystal River and Lecantodoubled their number ofteams, putting all three relayevents into play with localbusinesses, organizations andclubs fully on board.
■?A record number of cancersurvivors participated in eachevent.
■?Volunteers lined up to par-ticipate in the Cancer Preven-tion Study, actuallyoutnumbering the suppliesthat were brought, far over-reaching the numbers thatwere necessary for this part ofthe critical research to moveforward.
So what made the differ-ence?
Good leadership: Some ofthe best, they will say. Fromdistrict and regional offices ofthe American Cancer Societyall the way to chairmen andteam captains, this communityshowed off some its best. Manyhad not been asked before andstill they rose to the challenge,backed by people who simplyrefused to let them fall.
Dedication: Never a doubt.The network of hands thatheld together from beginningto end put forth a resolutecommitment that rarely fal-
tered. Innovation and
creativity: An A-plus in that cate-gory. Thatdreaded rut thathaunts manyr e p e t i t i v efundraisers wasnowhere to befound.
But perhaps itis much simperthan that andsomething that
may not show up on a check-list.
Perhaps this community isjust fed up with having goodpeople dying of cancer. Maybethe people who gave theirmoney and spent hours uponhours working on these eventsdecided to fight back the onlyway they know how. Andthrough the involvement, theeducation, the informationand the recognition, the battleagainst cancer that must befought was not passed on forothers to take care of, but itwas met right here on our ownfields.
When a community makes astatement and then stands bythat statement through its ac-tions and its unwavering sup-port, then we must believe themonster will finally be de-stroyed.
Our applause and ourthanks to those who are keep-ing the fight. Stay angry, stayoutraged and stay determinedto see that final checklist thatsimply says: Cancer — gone.

Ash closes someUK airports
LONDON — Airports innorthern England, Scotland,Ireland and Northern Irelandwere forced to close Sundayafternoon due to a densecloud of volcanic ash driftingover from Iceland.
The shutdowns affected allairports in Northern Ireland,along with others in northernEngland — including the keycities of Manchester and Liv-erpool — as well as Prest-wick in Scotland and otherScottish airports, Britain’s Na-tional Air Traffic Service said.
Aviation authorities ex-pected London’s airports —including Heathrow, Europe’sbusiest — to remain openuntil at least 7 p.m Sunday.But airports in Birmingham,about 110 miles northwest ofLondon, and Norwich, onEngland’s east cost, were toclose early Sunday evening.
The British air trafficagency said the ash cloudwas changing shape andmoving south, toward Oxford,England, 60 miles northwestof London. Britain’s weatherservice says the northwestwinds should shift midweek,redirecting the ash away fromBritain.
German authorities sent uptwo test flights Sunday tomeasure the ash cloud, onefrom the German AerospaceCenter (DLR) and the otherfrom Lufthansa, the country’sbiggest airline.
The Icelandic weatherservice said “presently thereare no indications that theeruption is about to end.”

WASHINGTON — SupremeCourt nominee Elena Kagan isunlikely to face a GOP filibusterbut should expect difficult ques-tions from lawmakers who willdecide whether she deservesthe lifetime appointment de-spite having no judicial experi-
ence, the Senate’s second-rank-ing Republican said Sunday.
“The filibuster should be rele-gated to the extreme circum-stances, and I don’t think ElenaKagan represents that,” saidArizona Sen. Jon Kyl, a memberof the Senate Judiciary Commit-tee.
The committee chairman,
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., saidhe hoped to have Kagan on thebench this summer, succeedingretiring Justice John PaulStevens well ahead of the newterm that begins in October.
GOP senators are placinggreat weight on her testimony indetermining the fate of Presi-dent Barack Obama’s secondnominee for the high court. Atissue is her lack of a judicialpaper trail.
Kagan is now solicitor gen-eral, the top government lawyerwho argues the administration’scases before the Supreme Court,and was dean of Harvard LawSchool. But she has never beena judge.
“She has so little other record,this is going to be a big deal,”said Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions,the committee’s top Republican.“It’s so important how she testi-fies.”

HAMMOND, La. — In a significantstep toward containing a massiveGulf of Mexico oil leak, BP said amile-long tube was funneling crudeSunday from a blown well to a tankership after three days of wrestling toget the stopgap measure into place onthe seafloor.
Yet even as the company reportedthe success after weeks of fruitless ef-forts, scientists warned oil that has al-ready spewed into the Gulf couldhave dire consequences for the envi-ronment. Computer models show theblack ooze may have already entereda major current flowing toward theFlorida Keys, a researcher told theAssociated Press on Sunday.
The contraption used by BP washooked up successfully and sucking oilfrom a pipe at the blown well Sundayafternoon after being hindered by sev-eral setbacks. Engineers remotelyguiding robot submersibles hadworked since Friday to place the tubeinto a 21-inch pipe nearly a mile belowthe sea.
Kent Wells, BP’s senior vice presi-dent for exploration and production,said during a news conference that theamount being drawn was gradually in-creasing, and it would take severaldays to measure it. Companyspokesman Mark Proegler at the jointspill command center in Louisianahad initially said the tube was contain-ing most of the oil coming from thepipe, which is contributing an esti-mated 85 percent of the crude in thespill.
Previous attempts to use emergencyvalves and a 100-ton container hadfailed to stop the leak that has spilledmillions of gallons of oil into the Gulf,threatening sea life, commercial fish-ing and the coastal tourism industryfrom Louisiana to Florida. BP PLC hasalso been burning small amounts offloating oil and spraying chemical dis-persants above and below the surface.
The tube’s success gave crews par-tial control of the leak for the first timein more than three weeks. Still, Wells
offered a tempered response to thenews.
“It’s a positive move, but let’s keep incontext,” he said Sunday. “We’re aboutshutting down the flow of oil from thiswell.”
Oil has been spewing since the rigDeepwater Horizon exploded April 20,killing 11 people and sinking two dayslater. The government shortly after-ward estimated the spill at 210,000 gal-lons — or 5,000 barrels — a day, a figurethat has since been questioned by somescientists who fear it could be far more.BP executives have stood by the esti-mate while acknowledging there’s noway to know for sure.
Crews will slowly ramp up how muchoil the tube collects over the next cou-ple of days. They need to move slowlybecause they don’t want too much frigidseawater entering the pipe, whichcould combine with gases to form ice-like crystals that would clog it.
The first chance to choke off the flowfor good should come in about a week.Engineers plan to shoot heavy mud intothe crippled blowout preventer on topof the well, then permanently entombthe leak in concrete. If that doesn’twork, crews also can shoot golf balls
and knotted rope into the nooks andcrannies of the device to plug it, Wellssaid.
The final choice to end the leak is arelief well, but it is more than twomonths from completion.
Meanwhile, scientists warned of theeffects of oil that has already leakedinto the Gulf.
Computer models show the blackooze may have already entered theloop current — which is the largest inthe Gulf — said William Hogarth, deanof the University of South Florida’sCollege of Marine Science. A researchvessel is being sent to the Gulf on Tues-day to collect samples and learn more.
One computer model shows that theoil has already entered the current,while a second model shows the oil is 3miles from it — still dangerously close,Hogarth said. The models are based onweather, ocean current and spill datafrom the U.S. Navy and the NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Administra-tion, among other sources.
The current flows in a looping pat-tern in the Gulf, through the areawhere the blown-out well is, east to theFlorida Keys National Marine Sanctu-ary and beyond.

BAGHDAD — Iraq’s elec-toral commission affirmedon Sunday the narrow vic-tory of a Sunni-backed blocin the March vote after apartial recount undercutthe Shiite prime minister’sclaims of fraud in the tally.
The result was a setbackfor Prime Minister Nourial-Maliki, who came in sec-ond to former Prime Minis-ter Ayad Allawi by a smallmargin. But his alliancewith another Shiite blocstill gives him a strongchance of holding on topower for another fouryears.
“I hope that all politicalblocs are satisfied now thatthe electoral process washonest and all allegations offraud and forgery were to-tally incorrect,” electoralcommission spokesmanQassim al-Abboudi told re-porters after the results of arecount of votes for the cap-ital Baghdad were an-nounced.
“According to the law, po-litical blocks and candi-dates can appeal theseresults but we hope that noone will do that,” al-Ab-boudi said.
The recount, as well asother challenges to theMarch 7 election resulthave prevented the seatingof the new 325-member par-liament and raised fearsthat the extended period ofpolitical bickering will giverise to a new wave of vio-lence as insurgents try toexploit the political vacuumas U.S. troops prepare to gohome.

Crystal River senior Travaughn Brooks rushed for 2,107 yards and scored 22 total touchdowns in his senior year. Brooks was first-team all-state in Class 3A football and also averaged13.8 points per game on the Pirates’ varsity basketball team. For those accomplishments, Brooks is one of seven students vying for the Chronicle’s Male Athlete of the Year award.

DOVER, Del. — Kyle Buschwould like to believe he wouldhave defeated Jimmie Johnsoneven without the four-timechampion making a rare pit roadmistake.
Busch never will know, and hedoesn’t really care.
When Johnson was penalizedfor speeding on the final pit stop,that was all the opportunityBusch needed to pull away lateSunday and win his second racein two days at Dover Interna-tional Speedway.
Johnson made a quick burstout of the box and acceleratedtrying to catch a departing Buschcoming off pit road. Busch jokedthat he wanted to “coax him intospeeding a little bit.”
“I don’t know if that happenedor not, but I’m going to say it did,”Busch said.
Busch’s victory capped awildly successful weekend forthe Joe Gibbs Racing driver.
Busch missed the tripleheadersweep on the one-mile concrete
track by just a couple gallons ofgas.
He was in position to win theTrucks Series race on Friday butran out of gas at the end. He eas-ily took the checkered flag in Sat-urday’s second-tier series raceand raced about 800 miles inthree days.
“It’s not going to hurt my feel-ings too bad to go to bed tonightand know that I lost Friday,”Busch said. “I’m going to thinkmore about today.”
On Sunday, Busch swappedthe lead with Johnson through-
out most of the 400-mile race runin front of thousands of emptyseats. He expected the duel tocontinue until Johnson wasclocked at 40.09 mph in a 35 mphzone.
“I just had too much forwardbite leaving the pit box and gotgoing too fast and got busted,”Johnson said.
Busch was sorry he was de-nied an epic late-race show-down.

ORLANDO — The hair is a littlegrayer. The ankles and knees nolonger so sturdy. Even with a rosterfull of aging superstars, theBoston Celtics are stillstanding tall.
Too old to chase a title?Not these days.
Ray Allen scored 25points, Paul Pierce had 22and the Celtics used smoth-ering defense to beat theOrlando Magic 92-88 onSunday in the Eastern Con-ference finals opener.
Hampered by injuries,the Celtics literally limpedtheir way through parts of the reg-ular season. All that seems a dis-tant memory now.
“I honestly say we lost our-selves,” Celtics coach Doc Riverssaid. “I think we’ve found ourselvesagain.”
Rasheed Wallace added 13points as the Celtics built a 20-pointlead, then held on late to snap Or-lando’s 14-game winning streak.They held the Magic to 41 percentshooting — 22 percent from 3-pointrange — in displaying that roughand tough defense that was oncetheir staple.
“There were stretches in the sea-son, we know each other so wellnow, where we were becoming lesspatient with each other,” Allen
said. “We were getting oneach other a little too much.We can take it, but we re-spected each other.
“When we started theplayoffs, we said teams aregoing to hit us, they’re goingto attack us. But whensomebody scores on us,which they will, we go getthe ball out and comeback.”

Everyone has a niche in life. ForTravaughn Brooks, his was dis-covered early in his junior year ofhigh school.
The Crystal River running backhad just scored his first varsitytouchdown against Springstead in2008 and Brooks said he wasgreeted afterwards by both headcoach George Arscott and assistantcoach Michael Blackstone, whohad the same message for him.
“They pulled me aside and said,‘this is your ticket out of here,’”Brooks recalled.
The touchdown that nightwould be the first of 34 Brookswould accumulate in two yearsand also help prove the twocoaches’ words correct.
After a breakout junior yearwith over 1,800 yards rushing and13 touchdowns, the Pirates seniorcame into the 2009 season as amarked man.
Everyone knew that No. 4 wouldtake the handoff nearly every time,
but Brooks continued his assaulton rushing defenses everywhere.
As a senior, Brooks totaled 2,107yards on the ground and 22 totaltouchdowns as the Pirates’ undis-puted workhorse on a 7-3 teamthat just missed the playoffs in athree-team playoff shootout withNature Coast and Hernando.
Those numbers earned Brooksa Class 3A first-team all-state selection.
For that reason, the CrystalRiver standout is one of theChronicle’s nominees for Male
Athlete of the Year.This is the second year in a row
Brooks received a nomination forthe award.
“Numbers-wise, it was impres-sive what he did,” Arscott said ofBrooks. “He was definitely the cen-terpiece of what we did and he wasasked to carry a big load for us.”
The accomplishments and sta-tistics are even more impressivewhen coupled with the realizationthat Brooks often faced between

Great Scott prevailsGolfer makesTexas Openfirst tour win
since ‘08Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Deep inthe heart of Texas, AdamScott only saw Australia.Harsh scrubland off the fair-ways that reminded him ofBrisbane and sandbeltgreens that looked like home.
“I had a feeling Aussieswould do well here thisweek,” Scott said.
None better than him.Rallying from four strokes
back for his first PGA Tourvictory in two years, Scottwas 11 under in a 36-holeSunday finale at the TexasOpen, edging Frederik Ja-cobson by a stroke on thenew Oaks Course at TPCSan Antonio.
The course was designedby Scott’s hero, fellow coun-trymen Greg Norman, whosent a congratulatory mes-sage after Scott’s first winsince the Australian Openin December.
Norman’s note meant a lotto Scott. So did this victory.
“I questioned myself attimes last year whether Iwas a great player or not,”Scott said. “I still feel I am.”
The 29-year-old Scott fin-ished at 14-under 274 andearned $1,098,000 for hisseventh tour victory and firstsince the 2008 Byron NelsonClassic. He overcame twoearly bogeys with an eagleon the par-4 17th in his third-round 66, then built his leadwith six birdies en route to aclosing 67.
Scott also survived a clos-ing bogey — his only one inthe final round — when Ja-cobson missed a 16-footerfrom the fringe on No. 18 thatwould’ve forced a playoff.
It was a long final day.More than 3 inches of rainhad washed out Friday’sround, setting up Sunday’s36-hole marathon.
Ernie Els, Aaron Badde-ley and Jimmy Walker tiedfor third at 12 under. Els, theFedEx Cup leader, followeda third-round 69 with a 68.
Baddeley also entered theday four back and shot 67and 68. Walker had roundsof 70 and 69 and ended upwith a career-best finish onthe tour.
Tim Petrovic and tourrookie Garth Mulroy were11 under.
But like Scott said — thisone belonged to the Aussies.
His only blemish of thefinal round was on the par-518th, thought it nearly cost
him. Scott’s approachplopped in the greensidebunker, but he recovered toset up a 6-footer for par. Butthe putt rolled wide by ahalf-inch.
LPGA TourMOBILE, Ala. — Se Ri Pak
ended a three-year victorydrought with a birdie on the thirdplayoff hole to beat Brittany Lin-cicome on Sunday in the rain-shortened — and delayed —Bell Micro LPGA Classic.
Pak, the Hall of Famer fromKorea, used a nice bunker shotto set up the putt that sealed her25th career win and first sinceshe won the Owens CorningClassic in 2007. Pak hit within10 feet below the hole on a fair-way bunker shot from about 170yards to give herself a birdiechance while Lincicome savedpar with a long downhill putt.
“I’ve been here so manytimes, but I think I’ve been hav-ing a hard time the last coupleof years,” Pak said. “I’m tryingto get myself to better momen-tum. I work really hard everysingle day, every single mo-ment, every single tournament.
“I knew this day was going tocome. All I could do is be pa-tient and work hard.”
Suzann Pettersen also made
the playoff, but bogeyed the sec-ond hole on the par-4, 402-yard18th and headed to the club-house at the Crossings Courseat Magnolia Grove on the RobertTrent Jones Golf Trail.
Pak, Lincicome and Pet-tersen were tied when theyteed off together in the morning.An hour into their round of thetwo-tee start, the leaderboardhad been shuffled and thethreat of lightning sent thegolfers scurrying off the courseand into the clubhouse for a5½-hour wait.
All three wore purple ribbonson their caps honoring EricaBlasberg, a six-year LPGA vet-eran who died a week earlier ather home in suburban LasVegas. Police have not saidwhether foul play was involved,and the coroner said it couldtake four to six weeks to deter-mine a cause of death.
Pak, who also wore a pinkwristband with Blasberg’s ini-tials sandwiching a heart, is un-beaten in six career playoffs.She also won the Tournamentof Champions on the CrossingsCourse in 2001 and 2002.
Champions TourHOOVER, Ala. — Dan Fors-
man made an eagle and fourconsecutive birdies on the front
nine Sunday on his way to athree-stroke victory in the Re-gions Charity Classic on Sunday.
Forsman, who shot a tourna-ment-record 62 in the secondround at Ross Bridge, won forthe second time on the Cham-pions Tour.
He made a couple of late bo-geys to finish at 66 for the thirdround and minus-20 196 for thetournament, easily beating JoeOzaki (66) and Peter Senior(68) at 17-under 199.
Second-round leader BobbyClampett shot a 73 to fall to fifth.
David Peoples (68) came infourth at 15-under, while JeffSluman (68) tied with Clampettanother stroke back.
Clampett birdied three of thefirst six holes, but made a dou-ble-bogey on No. 7 and thenbogeyed both 10 and 11 to falleight shots behind Forsman.
Forsman built a five-shotlead after making a 50-footbirdie putt on No. 11.
“I caught fire down the frontnine,” said Forsman, whoearned $255,000. “When Imade that birdie on 11, even Ihad to step back and go, ‘Wow,maybe I could shoot 60.’
“At that point, the only thingthat could cool me down outthere was Mother Nature.”

Tigers 5, Red Sox 1DETROIT — Ramon Santiago hit a
two-run homer and Armando Galar-raga was sharp in his first start of theseason, helping the Detroit Tigers beatthe Boston Red Sox 5-1 on Sunday.
Detroit became the first team towin four straight series at homeagainst reigning playoff teams since1995, when baseball began puttingfour teams in the postseason, accord-ing to STATS LLC.

Rays 2, Mariners 1ST. PETERSBURG — Sean Ro-
driguez delivered a seventh-inningdouble and Gabe Kapler added aneight-inning sacrifice fly as the TampaBay Rays overcame a frustrating af-ternoon against Cliff Lee to rally for a2-1 victory over the Seattle Marinerson Sunday.
Lee took a 1-0 lead into the sev-enth, limiting the team with baseball’sbest record to doubles by B.J. Uptonand Willy Aybar up to that point. Uptondoubled again with one out in the sev-enth, then scored when Rodriguez fol-lowed with his hit off theright-centerfield wall.
Carl Crawford tripled into the leftfield corner, just beyond the reach ofMichael Saunders, and scored onKapler’s sacrifice fly.

Dodgers 1, Padres 0SAN DIEGO — Russell Martin’s RBI
single was one of only two hits for theLos Angeles Dodgers, who beat the first-place San Diego Padres 1-0 on Sundayfor a three-game sweep and their sea-son-high seventh straight victory.
Chad Billingsley pitched into theeighth and combined with two relieversfor a four-hitter. The Dodgers, playingtheir second game without hitting starAndre Ethier, won for the 12th time in15 games.
After entering the weekend with a 31/2-game lead, the Padres’ marginatop the NL West is down to a halfgame over the San Francisco Giants,who come in for a two-game seriesstarting Monday night. The Dodgersare two games back.
Wade LeBlanc held the Dodgershitless until Martin hit a line shot thatzipped past both the left-hander’s headand diving second baseman DavidEckstein and into center field for a sin-gle with one out in the sixth. It scoredJamey Carroll, who drew a leadoff walkand was sacrificed by Billingsley.
Manager Joe Torre wanted to giveMartin the day off after he caught Sat-urday night, but figured it would betough to give Martin, Casey Blake andManny Ramirez the day off withouthaving Ethier in the lineup.
Angels 4, Athletics 0ANAHEIM, Calif. — Joel Pineiro
pitched a three-hitter for his sixth ca-reer shutout, Bobby Abreu hit a two-run homer and the Los AngelesAngels completed a three-gamesweep of the Oakland Athletics with a4-0 victory on Sunday.
Pineiro (3-4) struck out five, walkedone and threw just 98 pitches. He retired20 of the last 24 batters after giving upthe first of two singles by Jack Cust.
Pineiro, signed by the Angels afterthey lost John Lackey to free agency,was coming off a no-decision againstTampa Bay in which he threw 6 1-3scoreless innings. He had lost his pre-vious five starts against the A’s.
Trevor Cahill (1-2) allowed threeruns, five hits and no walks over seveninnings. His catcher was Kurt Suzuki,who was reinstated from the disabledlist earlier in the day after missing 19games because of a strain his ribcage.The team went 7-12 without their RBIleader from last season.
Torii Hunter led off the second in-ning with a flyball to straightawaycenter field that was misjudged byEric Patterson, who thought he wascloser to the fence than he actuallywas. He leaped for it and it fell behindhim for a double. Hunter advanced ona groundout and scored on HidekiMatsui’s single.
Patterson made another leaping at-tempt in the sixth — only this time, hemade it at the fence in left-center andran out of room as Abreu circled thebases with his fifth home run. Oakland Los Angeles

red and drove in three runs Sunday,leading the surging Cincinnati Reds toa 7-2 victory that swatted the St. LouisCardinals off their accustomed perchatop the NL Central.
Cincinnati has moved into a half-game lead by winning seven of eight.The Reds haven’t been in first place thisdeep into a season since June 8, 2006.
St. Louis had been in first placesince July 31. The defending champi-ons opened a five-game lead beforegoing into a pronounced downturn, los-ing nine of their last 12.

Cubs 4, Pirates 3CHICAGO — Pinch-hitter Xavier
Nady lined a go-ahead single in theeighth inning as the Chicago Cubs ral-lied to defeat Pittsburgh 4-3 Sunday,their first victory over the Pirates afterseven straight losses.
Unable to protect a 3-1 seventh-in-ning lead, the Pirates failed to com-plete their first sweep at Wrigley Fieldin 10 years.
Alfonso Soriano singled off D.J. Car-rasco (1-1) with one out in the eighth,stole second and went to third on awild pitch. After Geovany Soto drew atwo-out walk, Nady singled to right fieldfor his first pinch-hit since July 19,2008 — when he was with the Pirates.
Nady had been 0 for 9 as a pinch-hitter this season.
Sean Marshall (2-1) worked ascoreless eighth in relief of Ted Lilly,who allowed three runs on six hits in aseason-high seven innings. CarlosMarmol pitched a perfect ninth for hissixth save as the Cubs won for only thethird time in their last 12 games.

nothing major. I don’t want to miss astart. I’ll do whatever I can, but that beingsaid, I have to listen to the doctors.”
Niese left during a disastrous thirdinning for the Mets. They made errorson two bunts and the Marlins scoredsix runs.
Marlins 10, Mets 8MIAMI — Bunts befuddled the New
York Mets. They hit line drives that be-came double plays. And despite re-peated tries, they couldn’t get a thirdstrike past Chris Coghlan.
So went the finale of the Mets’ mis-erable trip to Miami. They lost 10-8 tothe Florida Marlins, who completedtheir first four-game sweep since Au-gust 2006.
Coghlan culminated a 12-pitch at-bat with a three-run, pinch-hit homer inthe seventh inning Sunday to stymie aMets comeback bid.
“What an at-bat,” Marlins managerFredi Gonzalez said. “That’s got to beone of the better at-bats I’ve seen any-body have. If that doesn’t happen, wemay still be out there playing.”
Two Mets errors helped the Marlinsscore four unearned runs en route to a7-0 lead. New York cut the margin to 7-6 before Coghlan stepped to the plate.
He fouled off six two-strike pitches,then hit a 3-2 fastball over the center-field wall off Fernando Nieve.
“I couldn’t draw it up any betterthan that,” said Coghlan, last year’sNL rookie of the year, whose averagehas climbed from .123 on April 24 to.214. “It was a big at-bat for our team.To basically put the game out ofreach, that’s what you want to docoming off the bench.”
Mets left-hander Jonathon Niese (1-2) departed after re-injuring his righthamstring, which required season-end-ing surgery last Aug. 6. He’ll return toNew York for further evaluation.
“It was more a scare than anything,”Niese said. “I’m feeling a little sore now,

7-10 defenders in the box onevery play.
Brooks touched the ballon 66 percent of the 479 of-fensive plays Crystal Riverran in 2009 and, of the Pi-rates’ rushing attempts, thenumber jumps to 78 percent(314-of-403).
The 6-foot, 200-poundback had the size andstrength to fend off the se-ries of gang tackles thatwould come his way and thespeed to get to the outsideand pick up yards when thesituation called for it.
“A lot of it had to do withhis weight-room strength,”Arscott said. “It’s also attrib-uted to practice where it’sfull go.
“He learned how to take ahit and give a hit,” Arscottcontinued. “A kid that’spracticed that way learns toplay that way.”
Beyond the combinationof speed and power, Brookswas just plain reliable whencarrying the ball. In those314 carries, the back fum-bled just three times andlost two. Considering howmany times the back wasmet by a multitude of de-fenders and how the opposi-tion attempted to strip theball, the lack of turnovers isnothing short of amazing.
In nine of the 10 games,Brooks had at least 27 car-ries and actually went overthe 30-carry mark in fivestraight games toward theend of the season. Brookswent over 200 yards in sevenof those contests and brokethe 100-yard mark in everysingle game.
Brooks had four rushingtouchdowns in two different
games and three touch-downs in three others.
The most memorablegame for the running backwas the last regular seasoncontest of the year againstcounty rival Lecanto. There,Brooks had 312 yards oftotal offense and 5 touch-downs.
“I think his combinationof speed and power is whatseparates him from otherbacks,” said Lecanto coachRon Allan. “He has good vi-sion when he runs and hitsthe hole quickly.”
For those who’ve ques-tioned Brooks’ speed, justask Arscott for a tape of thePirates’ game against Na-ture Coast in the secondgame of the 2009 season.
On the second play of thatgame, Brooks took a hand-off, burst through the holeand turned on the after-burners to outrace the en-tire Sharks defense for a75-yard touchdown.
Brooks also averaged 13.8points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.2 as-sists and 2 steals per gameas a member of the CrystalRiver varsity basketballteam.
Basketball was Brooks’first love growing up — aslate as his sophomore yearhe admitted that’s thesport he thought he’d playin college.
But football would be theplayer’s niche and hasearned him a scholarship atCopiah-Lincoln CommunityCollege in Wesson, Miss.
Although the athlete hadat least a dozen offers fromDivision I schools (somefrom SEC and Big 12 pro-grams), Brooks is takingthe path less traveled forrunning backs with his credentials.
Brooks admitted his workethic on the football field
must begin transferring intohis book work.
“I need to give it my alleach and every play, eachand every practice,” Brookssaid. “In the classroom too.”
Arscott, for one, thoughtBrooks more than made hiscase to be in considerationfor the Athlete of the Yearaward.
“The reality of it is ifyou’re looking at county ath-lete of the year,” Arscottsaid, “you look at the recordof the team you play for andthe stats.
“Both of those make hiscase for him.”
Brooks, though, knew anyawards, praise or otherrecognition he receivedwere part of a bigger groupof people working hard.
The Pirate doled out bigthanks to his offensive line.
“If anything, if I could, Iwould want to nominate thefive guys in front of me (forthe award),” Brooks said.“Without them, I would benothing on the footballfield.”
Thanks in large part tothe generosity of four silversponsors — the InvernessGolf & Country Club, JustSports in Inverness, Ho-mosassa’s Aaron’s Rent-A-Center and Village Scion ofCrystal River — the Chroni-cle is pleased to announcethat , along with all of theother athletic nominees,will be invited guests ofhonor at the Citrus CountyChronicle’s 3rd annualSports Banquet, which willonce again be held at the In-verness Golf & Country Clubon Monday, May 24.
they got busted for speedingand we weren’t able to beatthem outright and racethem around the end of therace,” Busch said. “I’mgoing on a limb to say wecould beat them today withor without the penalty.”
Johnson, who won bothDover races last year, fin-ished 16th after having thedominant car most of therace. Johnson led 225 laps toBusch’s 131.
“I ran my guts out trying topass him,” Johnson said.“It’s unfortunate we didn’thave a chance there at theend.”
Jeff Burton was secondand Matt Kenseth third.Denny Hamlin and DavidReutimann rounded out thetop five.
Johnson recorded DNF’sin two of his last three racesand gave other drivers afeeling that he may finallybe vulnerable.
Kenseth said it was tooearly to count out Johnson.
“It looked like he wasgoing to win today,” he said.
Busch won his secondrace of the season — he wonat Richmond InternationalRaceway two weeks ago —and moved into second
place in the standings be-hind seventh-place finisherKevin Harvick.
Joe Gibbs Racing hasbeen putting pressure onJohnson’s four-year reignatop the standings. JGRdrivers Busch and Hamlinhave been two of the hottestdrivers over Johnson’sseven-race winless stretchand expect to contend forthe title over the final 10races.
“We’re just getting startedreally here,” owner JoeGibbs said. “I’m thrilled thatthe last seven or eight weekshave gone so well for us, butthe reality is, that can allturn in a week.”
Busch became the seconddriver to win the Cup andNationwide races in thesame weekend at Dover.Harry Gant did it in Septem-ber 1991.
Johnson led eight timesand Busch six as two of theelite drivers in the sport en-gaged in back-and-forth ac-tion at various times of therace.
“We’ve been working realhard at just keeping myhead in the game more, andit seems to be working a lit-tle bit, too,” Busch said.
Busch overcame earlyradio issues in the No. 18Toyota. He couldn’t hear hiscrew and told them to standon the wall and wave if they
could hear him. The crewwaved back.
Busch heard nothing forabout 30 laps until suddenlythe voice of his crew chieftalking to his spotter abouthow NASCAR was going topull the No. 18 off to fix theproblem came through loudand clear.
“I’m like, ‘Oh no they’renot. Here I am,” Busch said.
When Johnson was hit forspeeding, team membershigh-fived and briefly cele-brated in the pits.
Johnson lost the lead forgood with 38 laps left andBusch led the final 35 laps.
“It was a fun battle thereracing him for the last 100laps or so we had,” together,Busch said.
Dixon takes 52nd career Top Fuel win
COMMERCE, Ga. — LarryDixon roared to his 52nd careerTop Fuel win on Sunday at theSouthern Nationals.
Dixon tied Joe Amato for sec-ond on the NHRA career list be-hind Tony Schumacher, winninghis fourth event of the seasonwith a pass of 311.49 mph in3.913 seconds while opponentBrandon Bernstein red-lighted.
“I feel the same way as I doagainst the other people I grewup looking up to: unworthy,”Dixon said. “The guys I lookedup to didn’t get 23 chances ayear to win.”
points and 12 rebounds,nowhere near the dominantforce the Magic need to wina title.
Game 2 in the best-of-seven series is Tuesdaynight in Orlando.
“I don’t think it was rusty.Just anxious,” Howard said.“We dug ourselves a hole,and it was tough to get backfrom.”
Two years removed froman NBA title, the revivedCeltics might be a littleslower than their paralyzingdefense of old. But, healthyagain, maybe not as much assome once thought.
The Celtics built a 15-point lead in the secondquarter and watched it fizzlewith Howard on the bench.Backup Marcin Gortat hadtwo layups and a dunk tohelp the Magic end the halfwith Boston ahead 41-32.
Nelson had two quick 3-pointers and anotherjumper to start the third,moving the Magic withinthree points. Then it all un-raveled.
The Celtics went on a 22-5run later in the quarter to goahead 65-45, and a crowd lit-tered with blue and white T-shirts — deafening at timeswith noise clickers and claps— was silenced. But theMagic rallied late to cut the
lead to three with 26 sec-onds remaining in the fourthon a dunk by Howard.
After Pierce made two freethrows, Carter was fouleddriving to the hoop. He madethe first, then missed the sec-ond intentionally as Nelsonswooped in for the tip tomake it 90-88. But Allen fol-lowed with two free throwswith 6.1 seconds left to sealthe Celtics’ victory.
The Magic’s run simplyran out of time, even if theCeltics seem to be turningback the clock.
Showing no signs of age,the Celtics outhustled andoutmuscled the Magic atevery step defensively. Theypushed and pulled their wayaround the paint, slowingHoward for most of thegame.
That bruising Boston bas-ketball frustrated the Magicand their Superman, emo-tions pouring out all over thecourt. Howard and Wallacegot tangled up in the third —one of many times in thisone — and were whistled fordouble technicals afterswinging their arms away.
The Magic lost for the firsttime since April 2 at San An-tonio.
“Our guys aren’t going tolike fall apart,” Magic coachStan Van Gundy said. “Hell,they got down 20 in thisgame and they didn’t col-lapse. That’s not our team.This is all about winning.Our team doesn’t have to
prove they can bounce backfrom adversity and all ofthat. They’ve done all that.”
The sweat pouring fromtheir faces, Kevin Garnettand Co. stifled the Magic aswell as anyone in these play-offs, holding them to 32points in the opening half. ACeltics team that downedLeBron James and theCleveland Cavaliers in thelast round seems as rejuve-nated as ever, ready to givethe Magic — who sweptthrough the first two rounds— their toughest test yet.
“I think it was a wake-upcall that we really needed,”Carter said. “Now it’s whatare we going to do about it?How do we respond?”
NOTES: Rivers can sleepin his own bed no matterwhere the games are playedin this series. Rivers, a for-mer Magic coach who makeshis permanent home in theOrlando area, said he’s hadplenty of phone calls andmessages the last few days— many from friends whoare local Magic fans. “Someof my friends right now arewavering on their support ofthe Celtics,” Rivers said,chuckling. ... The only timethe Magic had fewer pointsat the half this season cameagainst Boston on Christ-mas, when Orlando was heldto 27. ... Utah Jazz F CarlosBoozer and Tampa Bay Buc-caneers coach Raheem Mor-ris were among those inattendance.

PHOENIX — School’s out, but the“Glee” kids haven’t stopped believin’.
The cast making up the popularFox show’s band of singing teenslaunched its four-city tour Saturdayin Phoenix, anxious to bring the the-atrics of a major network show to arelatively smaller stage.
While the show’s battling adults,played by Jane Lynch and MatthewMorrison, were not part of the stageproduction, their absence wasfilled by taped messages to the au-dience. After an opening act bythe excellent dance troupe Legionof Extraordinary Dancers, Lynchtook to the screens snarling that thenight’s entertainment was about tomake the audience ill.
“You will be barfing,” she prom-ised.
It was the start of an evening thatonly a fan would appreciate. Casualor non-viewers who paid upward of$75 per seat surely wondered whythey spent so much to see costumesmostly comprised of color-coordi-nated street clothes, or a backdrop ofbleachers made to resemble a musicclassroom. Or perhaps pondered whythe set list seemed so disjointed.
The connecting spirit of the showwas deeply rooted in fan apprecia-tion, starting with a list of song fa-vorites from the TV show and goingall the way to the cast’s dash throughan ecstatic crowd as Lea Michele, incharacter as glee club co-captainRachel Berry, belted out “Don’t Rainon My Parade.”
“This whole thing kind offeels like a big ‘thank you’ tothe fans because they havemade the show such asuccess so quickly andso early on,” KevinMcHale, who playsthe wheelchair-bound Artie,told The Asso-ciated Press.“So this islike givingback.”
But while thecast is happy togive the show’s rabid fans, who call
themselves Gleeks,what they want, it also
served up reminders thatactors are behind the charac-
ters. When Cory Monteith drumsduring Mark Salling’s “Sweet Caro-line,” Salling announces the talent asMonteith’s, instead of that of his char-acter Finn.
It’s a confusion revisited through-out, as the cast slips in and out ofcharacter. Heather Morris offers afew hilarious observations as ditsycheerleader Brittany, but they’re insharp contrast to her expert dancemoves.
Those impressed by thepower in Amber Riley’s voice
also would be surprised that shesounds much softer, much sweeterin person. Her live performanceof Christina Aguilera’s “Beauti-
ful” lacked the strength of herrecorded cover, though it eventuallyshowed up in the empowering “BustYour Windows.”
Live renditions of Chris Colfer’s“Defying Gravity” and JennaUshkowitz’s “True Colors” retainedthe poignancy and dignity of their tel-evised counterparts. Ushkowitz’s“Bad Romance” had the audienceroaring (though most of the delightmight have been for the bevy of co-stars, Colfer in particular, back-updancing in Lady Gaga costumes).
But whether the fans notice thecast’s vocals over their own echoingvoices is another question. Somewere so pleased to breathe the sameair as their idols that they gleefullyignored a “Like a Prayer” thatcame in at several octaves too highor that rival club Vocal Adrena-line’s performance was amasked song-and-dance routinewith no singing involved.
For a show whose hit Jour-ney cover famously asks view-ers to suspend theirimagination, the pricey ad-mission ticket is a lot to askfor a glorified high schooltalent show. But for Gleeks,there’s no pretending thatthey won’t love their fa-vorite show come to life.
For Phoenix highschooler Reiana Her-nandez, 14, who waitedfour hours Saturday to
buy just-releasedtickets, it wasenough “just
hearing theirvoices live, I think that’s going to bethe best.”

‘IronMan 2’stays
on topAssociated Press
LOS ANGELES — Steelbested bows and arrows atthe movies this weekend,with “Iron Man 2” fightingoff the new release “RobinHood” to stay at the top ofthe box office.
The superhero sequelstarring Robert DowneyJr. took in $53 million do-mestically to remain atNo. 1, according to studioestimates Sunday.
The Paramount Pic-tures release has mademore than $212 million inits first two weeks.
“Robin Hood,” whichfeatures Russell Croweteaming up with directorRidley Scott for the fifthtime, debuted in the No. 2spot with an estimated$37.1 million. The Univer-sal Pictures blockbuster, asort of prequel to theRobin Hood legend, co-stars Cate Blanchett asMarian.
But “Robin Hood” had ahuge opening internation-ally, making $74 millionoutside North America fora total of $111.1 millionthis weekend. NikkiRocco, Universal’s presi-dent of domestic distribu-tion, said the globalfigures reached beyondthe studio’s expectations.
“The combination of thesubject matter and Ridleyand Cate and Russell, thatwould be the driving forcebehind it,” Rocco said. “Itconfirms that ‘RobinHood’ is an endearing andenduring legend and Ithink the cast resonateswith filmgoers.”
Paul Dergarabedian,box office analyst for Hol-lywood.com, said thefilm’s relevance to today’seconomy also was part ofits appeal.
“There are a lot ofthings to crow about here,no pun intended,” Der-garabedian said. “Thetheme of stealing from therich and giving to the poorresonates particularlywell with worldwide audi-ences today.”
The aesthetic similaritybetween “Robin Hood”and 2000’s “Gladiator” —the first film Crowe andScott made together,which won the best-pic-ture Oscar — was a bonus,he said.

Herb Brody, co-creator of theTechnology Review Web site, said,“Telling the future by looking at thepast assumes that conditions re-main constant. This is like drivinga car by looking in the rearviewmirror.”
Bridge players can be guilty ofmaking dangerous assumptions.One of these might be mathemati-cally likely, but remember that theunlikely occurs occasionally.
You are in three no-trump. Howwould you plan the play after Westleads the heart king?
When overcalling one no-trumpwith a one-suited hand, have atleast a six-card suit, as West didhere. North took a sensible shot atthree no-trump. If his club suit wasuseful, the contract would probablyroll home; if it was worth only onetrick, maybe they could not make
anything. When in doubt, go for thehigh-scoring contract.
You have six top tricks: onespade, one heart, one diamond andthree clubs. But do not assume a 2-1 club break, despite its having a 78percent probability. (If they are 2-1,you will win at least nine tricks,cashing three clubs from yourhand, then overtaking the eightwith dummy’s ace.) Instead, as-sume clubs are 3-0. Then what willyou have to do?
The club suit will block. You willhave to take the fourth round inyour hand after cashing the topthree honors ... unless you duck thefirst two rounds of hearts. Then, ifWest continues with a third heart todummy’s ace, you can discard oneof your low clubs. Now, with thesuit unblocked, you have nine easytricks. And if West cleverly shifts attrick two, you must win that trickand duck a heart yourself.

Dear Annie: I’ve been mar-ried to “June” for nineyears. We have two young
children. June’s firstmarriage ended in di-vorce, and after, shemoved in with her sis-ter and brother-in-law,“Chuck.” While there,she began an affairwith him. I found outthree years ago, whenshe left her e-mailopen and I saw dozensof letters between thetwo of them, many ofthem recent.
I confronted my wifein the presence of ourfamily counselor andtook the blame, saying I could bea better husband. June vowed tobreak off all contact with Chuck.But since then, she has textedhim repeatedly, and worse, I sawan e-mail saying she was plan-ning to divorce me and buy ahouse with Chuck. He is now di-vorced from June’s sister.
Recently, June was hospital-ized. While I had her cell phone,Chuck sent a text. I ignored it,and then he called. I completelylost it and read him the riot act.Last night, June told me Chuck’snumber was programmed intoher cell phone so that if his namecomes up, she’ll know not to an-swer. But I checked and therewere six texts between the two ofthem in the past two days. Theywere planning a lunch date.
Now June says she doesn’t seeanything wrong with textingChuck because he’s “just afriend.” I am totally torn up bythis. I wrote June a three-pageletter detailing my feelings, fears
and insecurities. I love my wifeand would hate to see our kids gothrough a divorce. But Chuck has
no place in our mar-riage. I’ve found afamily counselor, butJune won’t go. Any ad-vice? — Aimless inAmes, Iowa
Dear Aimless: Evenif your wife is nolonger having a sexualaffair with Chuck, sheis emotionally in-volved with him de-spite your objections,and this is a betrayal.If June refuses to gofor counseling, goalone to see whether
you can salvage your marriage.Sorry to say, but without her co-operation, we’re not optimistic.
Dear Annie: Three years ago,my youngest son married into avery wealthy family. I love mydaughter-in-law, and her motheris very nice. However, somethinghas been bothering me since thewedding.
The wedding invitations said,“Mrs. John Doe requests thehonor of your presence at themarriage of her daughter, Jane, toMr. Joe Smith.”
I was told that my name as themother of the groom was not onthe invitation because “theypaid.” I would have paid myshare had I been asked. Am Iwrong for feeling slighted, or isthis the proper etiquette? —Groom’s Mother
Dear Mother: Actually, old-fashioned etiquette rules pre-sume the parents of the bride arethe paying hosts of the weddingand the invitation goes out in
their name. The groom is consid-ered an independent adultwhose parents are not “givinghim away,” and therefore, theirnames do not appear. Of course,modern interpretations allow forall kinds of invitations. The brideand groom should have discussedthis with you in advance. Pleasetry to forgive them.
Dear Annie: I read the letterfrom “Freaked-Out Mom,” whose18-year-old son has pornographicpictures of his not-yet-16-year-oldgirlfriend. I strongly urge her totalk to her son about the dangersof what could happen to him.
My friend “Mike” dated“Katie” for three years. When hewas 19 and she was 16, law en-forcement officials found outabout their relationship. Katienaively admitted they had beenintimate. Now Mike is spendingtwo years of his life in prison, andwhen he gets out, he’ll have toregister as a sex offender. Em-ployers and landlords who checkhis criminal background will seehe is a convicted felon. No onecares that he was in a committed,loving relationship with a girl hegenuinely adored. — Tom
Dear Tom: Every parentshould talk to their childrenabout the age of consent. Toomany teens and young adultsdon’t appreciate what could hap-pen to them.

In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 USC S/S 2714(c)) (“OPA”), please be advised of the following information:
A well, which is located in Mississippi Canyon Block 252 in the Gulf of Mexico and had been drilled by the mobile offshore drilling unit DEEPWATER HORIZON, has been named as the source of an oil discharge that commenced around 10:00 pm CDT on or about April 20, 2010. This spill impacted the Mississippi Canyon area, and contin-ues to potentially affect the Gulf Coast of the United States. As the spill is ongoing, the quantity of oil involved is undetermined.
BP Exploration & Production Inc. (“BP Exploration”) is accepting claims for certain un-compensated damages and removal costs caused by the spill. Costs and damages that may be compensated pursuant to OPA include removal costs; damage to or loss to real or personal property; loss of subsistence use of natural resources; loss of government revenues; loss of profits and earnings capacity; and damages for net costs of providing increased public services.
BP Exploration has established a toll-free, hotline number for claims: 1-800-440-0858.This hotline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The claims procedure is as follows: Personnel at the call center will provide each caller with information on how to submit a claim. Each claim will be assigned to an adjuster, and the claim will be promptly investigated and evaluated. Claims for lost income or lost profits will be evaluated promptly. The adjuster will require some sub-stantiation of income impacted by the spill, but will make reasonable effort to keep the documentation requirements to a minimum. Reasonable effort will also be made to act on lost income claims within 48 hours of receipt. Larger and more com-plex claims may require additional investigation and documentation prior to evalua-tion and resolution. Resolved claims will be paid promptly.
Claims may be presented for interim, short-term damages representing less than the full amount to which the claimant ultimately may be entitled. Please note that pay-ment of such claims shall not preclude recovery for damages not reflected in the paid or settled partial claims.
Any claims that are denied or that are not resolved within 90 days after the date of submission to the BP Exploration claims representative may be submitted to the US COAST GUARD STOP 7100 (ca), 4200 Wilson Boulevard, Suite 1000, Arlington, Virginia 20598-7100 for consideration.
