Theres No FixingDroopy Light Switch
Q: Lately when I turn on thelight switch in the bedroom,the switch goes up but then dropsloosely down to the halfway posi-tion. Why is the switch doing this?
Jacob C., Cleveland
A:The switch is broken and must
be replaced. Theres no fix-ing it, but the part is not expensive.Replacing a switch isnt an espe-cially difficult task, but if youre atall uncertain about doing it or totallyinexperienced with electrical tasks,have an experienced friend replacethe switch, or hire an electrician.
If youre determined to do it your-self, great. Youll need a standardscrewdriver and needle-nosed pliers,and keep a wire cutter/stripper nearbyin case its needed. A voltage tester (or multimeter) is important to makesure no electricity is coursing throughthe circuit during the replacement
job. Youll also want to purchase thereplacement switch.
Turn off the circuit that controls theswitch. The best way is to leave thelight on and have a helper call outwhen youve switched off the correctcircuit at the box. (Now is also a goodtime to label that circuit for the nexttime you need to switch it off.) Tomake absolutely sure that no power is reaching the switch, take the face
plate off and use your voltage tester by placing one sensor tip against one of the two screws on the side of the lightswitch (youll see a wire attached toeach) and then placing the other sen-sor tip against the second screw. If thetester does not light up, electricity isnot flowing to the switch; if it doeslight up, electricity is still flowing andyou should not start the repair untilthe problem is r emedied.
Once the power is off, gently removethe switch from its mounting brackets
by unscrewing the top and bottom
screws of the bracket andout. Locate the wiring connthe side of the switch, takinote of where the wires go. wire (the one through whiccal current flows) is usuallred in color, while the neutrusually white (but sometimgreen). Loosen the connectiand detach the wires, usingdle-nose pliers.
At this point, check the of the wires. If the exposends are frayed and therewire to spare, consider trim
old wire end and stripping to expose the same length copper (just enough to hoothe screw).

Movies bring bo o bene its to Virginia
By Alexander ChangCapital News Service
RICHMOND For Clint East-wood ans in Virginia, it was athrill to hear that his latest lm,J. Edgar, is set in parts o Fau-quier and Fair ax counties. But
or those communities, theres atangible bene t to playing sucha supporting role: Teyll enjoy a
nancial boost rom tourism andother economic spino s.
Te General Assembly recog-nized the economic value o entic-ing lmmakers to shoot movies inVirginia during its reconvenedsession in April. Legislatorsapproved a state-budget amend-ment to add $1.5 million to Gov.Bob McDonnells Motion PictureOpportunity Fund or the 01
scal year.Tat means the und will have
$3 million to provide incentivesor lmmakers to shoot in Vir-
ginia. Tose incentives include anexemption rom state sales taxes,an exemption rom hotel taxes orstays o 30 days or more in somelocalities, and grants or rebates
or quali ed projects, according
to the Virginia Film O ce.For the lm o ce, its going to
allow us to recruit more projects
to Virginia and provide more jobopportunities or Virginians, saidRita McClenny, the states ilmcommissioner.
he money that companiesspend on a variety o goods andservices, rom hotels to trans-portation equipment and to con-struction equipment, it will ben-e t Virginia businesses rom a taxcollection standpoint and a busi-ness opportunity standpoint.
In 009, the direct and indi-rect impact o Virginias motionpicture and video productionindustry was about $346 millionand supported more than ,700 jobs in the state, according toJe Caldwell, McDonnells presssecretary.
Caldwell said the lms, docu-mentaries, commercials andmultimedia productions shotin Virginia contribute to thecommonwealths economy. Tey provide job opportunities becausecompanies o ten hire Virginians
or their production teams, hesaid.
Te main priority o McDon-nells administration is to spureconomic development, and thereare many pieces o that, Caldwellsaid. Tis lm industry programis a major one or him becauseit attracts lmmakers to use thecommonwealth as a location ortheir movies. And that bringsinvestment in jobs, investmentin restaurants, and it can providesigni icant economic develop-ment boost or the community inwhich the lms are made.
McDonnell underscored thatpoint when he announced thatEastwood, the amous actor anddirector, was shooting his movieabout J. Edgar Hoover, the or-mer FBI director, in NorthernVirginia. Te locations includedWarrenton and Te Plains (bothin Fauquier County), Great Falls(Fair ax County) and the cities o Alexandria and Arlington.
Clint Eastwood is an Americanlegend, and we are thrilled hechose Virginia or his lm aboutthe rst director o the FederalBureau o Investigation, McDon-nell said in a press release.
J. Edgar stars Leonardo Di-Caprio as Hoover, who headed theFBI rom 1935 until his death in197 . Also starring are Dame Judi
Dench as Hoovers mother, NaomiWatts as his longtime personalsecretary, Ken Howard as theU.S. attorney general, Josh Lucasas aviator Charles Lindbergh, andArmie Hammer as the assistantdirector o the FBI.
Virginia is an excellent locationor lm production with its rich
history and natural beauty, andwe are working diligently to bringmore lm production like this tothe Commonwealth, McDonnellsaid.
Te states lmmaking incen-tives come with strict guidelines.
Te Motion Picture Opportu-nity Fund is not intended to cover100 percent o the Virginia laborcosts or lmmakers. In its appli-cation, the production company must show how much economicimpact the lm will provide orVirginia. Te company also musthave 100 percent o its anticipated

Besides the Motion PictureOpportunity Fund, the com-
monwealth also has the VirginiaMotion Picture Production axCredit program.

Strength training is the real deal
A recent study at the University o Michigan has convinced meto get started at the gym again.It concluded that while muscleloss is to be expected with age,we dont have to accept it. Re-searchers even pinpointed exactly what we need to do to regain lostmuscle tone and strength: resis-tance exercises, also known asstrength training.
With strong muscles we cancontinue to climb stairs andmountains, dig in the garden androw a kayak into advanced years.With muscle loss we might ex-perience shaky balance, alls andbone ractures -- which can leadto loss o independence.

Restaurants can let customers bring wineBy Alexander ChangCapital News Service
RICHMOND Under a new state law, Virginians will be al-lowed to bring their own wineinto a restaurant i the diningestablishment allows.
Senate Bill 1 9 , which takese ect July 1, will allow any ABC-licensed restaurant to permitcustomers to bring a bottle o wineinto the establishment and drink iton the premises.
Restaurants that have such poli-cies will be able to bill customersa corkage ee a service chargethat usually ranges rom $10 to$75.
Currently, 6 states, includingNorth Carolina and the District o Columbia, have corkage ees laws,according to Sen. Je McWaters,R-Virginia Beach, who proposedSB 1 9 . He said the legislationwill bene t both patrons and res-taurants.
People who are collectorso wine (will) have to make thechoice: Stay home, cook dinner,mess up the kitchen and drink thatbottle o wine; or take that specialbottle o wine to a nice restaurantand have them cook or you, Mc-Waters said.
Were the th-largest state inwine production, but were theonly state (among the major wineproducers) that doesnt allow orthis.
McWaters said Virginia restau-
rants have been losing businessto neighboring states that havelegalize corkage ees.
McWaters bill stirred a littlecontroversy during the Gen-eral Assemblys recent session. Itpassed 7-13 in the Senate and78-18 in the House. Gov. BobMcDonnell signed the bill into law last week.
Restaurant owners are dividedover the idea.
A restaurant could lose custom-ers i it doesnt o er a corkage eeoption, said John Van Peppens,owner o Flemings Richmond, asteakhouse and wine bar. But therestaurant could lose wine sales i it does o er one.
Moreover, corkage ees may be higher than customers expectbecause they must o set brokenstemware and other expenses.
When a guest calls me to bringin a nice bottle o wine and we haveto tell them that its going to be a$ 0-$30 corkage, the guest is goingto wonder in their mind, Why do Ihave to pay that much money or abottle o wine I paid or and drinkit in your restaurant? Peppenssaid.
o me, there are a lot o nega-tives be ore the guest even arrivesat the ront door.
At the same time, corkage eelaws can help small, independentrestaurants compete with chainrestaurants.
ed Doll, owner o Zeus Galler y Ca in Richmond, said chain res-
taurants ear corkage ees becausea lot o their revenue comes rom
selling wine purchased directly rom wineries.What chain restaurants do is
basically ensure to a winery thattheyre going to sell X amount o cases a year, and buy it nationally and cut out two middlemen be orepaying or a product , Doll said.

Spring is nally here and at Sun-fower Cottage, greenhouses are
ull o plants waiting or gardenersto take them to new homes. Its agreat local source or a huge variety o hard-to- nd herbs, ruit treesand vegetables.
Billie Cli ton, who owns thegarden center with her husbandArnold, was busy taking care o de-tails o the business last week, buttook time out rom her day to talkabout the Cottage and highlightupcoming events.
As we walked around thegrounds, she started the narrativeby giving a short history. Te ullservice garden center, which ismuch more than simply a gardencenter, has been located at thecorner o Reliance and RidgemontRoads since 001, but it didnt start
out as a retail outlet complete withteaching seminars, estivals andHigh eas, like it is today.
My husband and I both hadcareers in business, but we startedthis because we always liked herbsand saw a demand or it and also aneed. No one was growing herbsso we recognized it was somethingwe could do together and be suc-cess ul. Gardeners are lucky to beable to get the herbs rom us, Billieexplained.
Tey began by growing plantsor the wholesale trade and rented
a building near where their centeris now to sell small quantities o plants. She said they called it BilliesPlant Honor Bar, complete with asign with a tax chart that directedcustomers to take what you wantand leave the money. It provedto be a success ul way they couldsell some o their plants and ocustheir time and energy on the grow-
ing aspect. People bought plants,le t money in a box and even le tnotes letting them know what they wanted them to order or their next visit.
Tings changed though, when,We had the chance to buy thisproperty, and made it wholesaleand retail. Now were open orretail business rom March to theweek o Chr istmas, Billie said.
Te business has expanded andthey ship culinary herbs to othergarden centers within a large circle,to Richmond in the south, andnorth and east to Harpers Ferry,W.Va., and even Maryland. Inspring and all, we grow fowers and vegetables ourselves and also have
resh shipments rom other growerriends. Also, we are loaded with
heirloom tomatoes, she said.Te public also has a chance to
come and have un, ood and in or-mation at their High eas. Up to 30
people can be seated at what Billie
called Lunch and Learn, wherea variety o topics are covered.Te demonstrations have been as varied as learning tea etiquette,creating topiaries, and growingand using herbs. For the High eas,individuals can just show up andpartake, but groups need to sched-ule ahead or an appointment. Forthe big events, individuals alsoneed appointments.
Billie was excited to talk aboutupcoming public events that arein their near spring and summer
uture.On the 16th o April, as part o
Historic Garden Week, which runsrom April 16 to 3, the Garden
Club o Warren County will haveour homes on display and Sun-
fower Cottage is part o the tour.A bu et lunch will be availableand visitors will be able to explorethe gi t shop, greenhouses andgrounds.
On April 7, rom 1-3 p.m., therewill be a Shenandoah Herb Society Open House. he grounds willopen to the public at no charge.
On May 9, High ea will be o -ered or Mothers Day at 11:30
a.m., 1:00 p.m., and :30 p.m.On May 14 as part o the Warren

RICHMOND Gov. Bob Mc-Donnells goal o Virginia beingthe energy capital o the eastcoast may be urther o than hehopes.
hough in the early stageso development, o shore wind
arms are a signi icant part o McDonnells energy goals saidMcDonnells press secretary Je Caldwell.
We should take advantage o the natural resources that Virginiaholds, o shore o Virginia and theeast coast has a unique geographicwind topography, Caldwell said.
However, o shore wind de- velopment deals more with the
ederal government, than with thegovernors desire to see it done.
According to Maureen Matsen,deputy secretary o Natural Re-sources, the state has very little todo with the regulations o the wind
arms in the ocean as Virginiasboundary reaches only three mileso shore.
Past three miles o the shore o Virginia is ederal water.
Because Virginias involvementin the creation o wind arm regu-lations is limited, Al Christopher,
director o the Division o Energy at the Department o Mines, Min-erals and Energy, said that any
regulations will most likely comerom the ederal government,
since the arms will be between1 - 0 miles out on the continentalshel .
Director o Research at VirginiaCostal Energy Research Consor-tium, George Hagerman, saidthat while it is BOEMRE, Bureauo Ocean Energy Management,Regulation and En orcement, thatwill be making the regulations,Virginia has an input through anintergovernmental task orce.
According to a news release thebureau hopes to begin leasing atthe end o 011 or beginning o
01 .Te task orce has helped by
working with BOEMRE regardingthe area designed or leasing andworking closely with the VirginiaMaritime Association and theVirginia Pilots Association as wellas the Secretary o De ense, saidHagerman.
He added that the task orce is just governmental entities thereare no private groups involved.
Hagerman said any thing with-in state waters including thesubmarine cable that would con-
nect the grid to the shore wouldbe under state jurisdiction.
Consideration has been givento the area within the Virginiao shore jurisdiction, howeverexperts agree that the real windpower is arther out to sea, andthe closer to shore more issuesarise regarding shipping and themilitary.
Remy Luerssen, director o education or Virginia Center orWind Energy, said that there are
6 areas in ederal water that couldbe leased rom the ederal govern-ment that would t the criteria orconstruction.
O shore wind power might be-come one o the major providerso energy in the state particularly in the area o o Virginia Beach.Luerssen said that i only 10 per-cent o the leased ederal areaswere used, almost 11 percento Virginias electricity could beproduced.
Hagerman said that the area o Virginia could hold around 1,000turbines, which would be an eco-nomic advantage or the state by creating jobs and putting money into the economy.
However, according to BillHayden, spokesmen or the Vir-
ginia Department o Environmen-tal Quality, its really just too early in the process to say what couldhappen with o shore wind re-garding policy or economically.
Once the transmission linesrom the arms reach three milesrom land, Christopher said, the
regulations will come rom thestate.
Matsen said that DominionPower has been researching build-ing a singular transmission line
rom the wind arms to the shore which would cut down on initialcosts or companies building the
arms.Dominion Power does have a
study underway that they hopeto will be nished by the end o this year, Jim Norvelle, directoro Media Relations or Dominion,said.
he study will be looking atthe plausibility o having thistransmission line, but also at how Virginia would be able to sustainit.
Te in rastructure or o shorewind in the country just does notexist, which is what our study willlook at, Norvelle said. Our study may look at job creation. It could
create jobs, but we just dont know how many.Regardless o the policies and
money that would be attached toany o shore wind project Luers-sen said, i the impacts are toogreat well shut them down.
She said that the only o shoreturbine research comes rom Eu-rope and that it cannot be applieddirectly to the environment o the
Virginia shore the edi erent.

For more than 0 years, Juergenand Judit Nerger have thrilledaudiences with their big cat (andoccasionally bear) shows. Tis year,the Nergers and their tiger act willbe headlining the Cole BrothersCircus in Winchester during the
011 Apple Blossom Festival.Te Sherando imes spoke with
Judit Nerger about how she got intosuch an unusual and dangerousline o work. Nerger told us abouther li e with her eline colleagues,dealing with PE A and what goesthrough her mind when she hearsabout a trainer getting mauled,sometimes atally, while doing what
she and her husband do every day.Te Sherando imes: How did
you get interested and involved inper orming with big cats?
Judit Nerger: Oh, thats a longstory rom a long time ago. For meit just happened. My husband wasworking on it and we are originally
rom East Germany. It was di erentthere and he was the lucky one whogot picked out and got in to per ormwith big cats and train them.
imes: How long have you beenper orming in ront o crowds?
Nerger: Oh gosh, I have to thinkabout it. Its years or me and ormy husband its already 5 years.
imes: Do you own these tigersand do you always per orm with thesame group?
Nerger: No, we dont own them.Te owner is somebody else. Weare just always around them, takingcare o them, training, per orming,etc.
imes: ypically, would you haveto start when they are babies?
Nerger: Not real ly. It is just alwaysnice i they are at a very young agebut like with these cats, they werealready 3 or 4 years old when we gotthem. So somebody else got them
and started, training them. Most o the time, they are 1-1/ or yearsold.
imes: So de initely you startthem young.
Nerger: Yes, we start them youngbut sometimes you start with olderones i you dont have any otherchoice. You can start with them ata very young age, even i they dontunderstand what you want, but itsall just playing around and makingthem understand this is where youare able to per orm, inding outwhat they like to do which makesthe training much easier becauseeach cat has its own personality they just have talent on speci cthings, you know?
imes: So really the cat dictatesthe show, to a degree because youdiscover what they like to do?Because obviously you cant orcea tiger to do something it doesnt
want to do?Nerger: No, its kin

they will segregate. Is that becausethey dont get along as well as someother animal species?
Nerger: Well, see a tiger in Moth-er Nature is always single. But lionsare a di erent story. I you have anact with lions you can have all o them together. But with tigers, i your lucky you can have 4 or 5 to-gether. But in most cases its like by . Tat works out pretty good.
imes: Now they get along duringthe show. Is that because they areaccustomed to each other?
Nerger: Yeah because we are al-ways in there watching them, really
not because they like each other,even i they sit right next to eachother you never know. Its just they know we are inside and they donthave a chance to go at each other.So we have to be on top o it. We arethe police in there.
imes: hats an interestinganalogy. Like you said, they havedi erent personalities and just likepeople they have good days and baddays. Are there some days when oneis in a bad mood and you dont bringthat tiger out that day?
Nerger: No, we take them all thetime. We just go with the tiger then
because be ore we line them up wecan tell, okay this guy is in a badmood. Tis emale is in a bad moodor she just kind o doesnt want to doit today. You really put your eelingsin there and just keep an eye on that
tiger or do this or this today becausethere is something going on but wearent leaving out any cats at any time unless they are sick.
imes: It was interesting when Isaw an act or 3 times. I was takingpictures o the circus and I noticedit was a very di erent show eachday. One day they might be re-ally active and energetic and thenanother day one o them might behaving a lazy day but it was a very di erent show each time.
Nerger: Yeah, a show is neverthe same. Each show is di erentbecause you never know. Tey havemoods like humans. O course they have moods. Humans have moodsand say, I dont want to do this. Itsthe same with big cats. I think wi thany animal it is the same becausethey have moods.
imes: One thing you have to askwhen you talk to someone in yourline o work because your line o work is potentially very dangerousand we hear stories every ew years.Te last one is what happened withthe Sieg ried and Roy show, a hor-rible accident. What goes through
your mind when you hear some-thing like that and what mistakes
may have been made? I guess whensomething like that happens youlearn rom it?
Nerger: Yes, we do and each timesomething like that happens we al-ways get a wake up call. We eel bad
about what happened to the personbut, I tell you what, most o the timeits really because the trainer did amistake. So each mistake you do[the cats] want to take advantage o it. So many, many, many times weget a wake up call and say, hey, neverlet it be us and then or the nextcouple days were going to be more... Its just a weird eeling. You think you know it but sometimes it is eelslike you are getting into a routine
and you really shoulthats going to cost youmore, more, more atte
imes: I remembe[Roy] was injured, he whe said, Dont hurt th
Nerger: Yeah, yeahnot the cats ault. taking advantage o it their nature. So we aways, the tiger is just si they are trained. Magetting it wrong. Manythey are tame. Tey thpets and they are reaare just trained and thto always be on top odo any mistakes becau

is going to happen.imes: I know that the elephant
olks are in a constant battle withPE A and other groups but I donthear too much about the otheranimals. Is that something you haveto deal with all the time or do they
leave you alone?Nerger: Well we have to deal withit, not all the time. And you know we even have a website or that
reason because I dont want to getbothered by those people and oncein a while you have people in ronto the circus - they have demon-strations. Over the years you justget so used to it and it just doesntbother you anymore. So we arent
even going into any arguments ordiscussions about it because itspointless. hey dont know whatthey are talking about. Tey have
no idea. Tey dont understand sothere ore we are pretty cool aboutit. Its not nice to get bothered by itbut I cant change it. Tey have theirmind. I have my mind and thats it.And actually with the large cats its
not so bad as with the elephants.imes: Yeah I was just reading
that at one point there were someelephants in the Cole Bros. CircusI guess last season, and they werecalling ahead to each town thecircus was in to talk to the localauthorities and it was just this ongo-ing hassle that resulted in eventually losing the elephants.
Nerger: Yeah, I know. Sometimesits really bad and some areas arereally bad and sometimes you donthave anything like this so it justdepends. Its very bad.
imes: Now you said youre romEast Germany. I know that the cir-cus, its pretty much a novelty in TeUnited States. A lot o kids grow upand they dont ever get a chance tosee a circus except on television. Itsa lot more popular and a bigger dealin Europe isnt it?
Nerger: Yeah, its a big deal; butover the years it s just business is nottoo good. o be honest, we have way too many circuses in Germany rightnow and people will go to circusesthey know they always have goodbusiness. But [with] small circusesor amily circuses they may havehad a bad experience so they arentgoing too o ten. It used to be a bigthing, especially in East Germany because we had no entertainment
really. We didnt have all those coolmovie theaters and stu at the timeso it was a big thing.
imes: It was de initely a big
di erence be ore the wall ell. Abig, big di erence between EastGermany and what they had.
Nerger: I have a eeling that thecircus business here in the U.S. isgoing way better than in Europe.
imes: Have you per ormed be-ore in Te United States?Nerger: We have been traveling
here or over 8 years now.

New Tools Unveiledfor Consumer Safety
If youre concerned that you mightnot be getting all the available infor-mation about food and product safetyrecalls, youre likely right. Until now,this information has been scatteredaround different websites on the I nter-net. Now we have one place to go:www.fda.gov/safety/recalls.
The same law responsible for thiswebsite also has given the Food andDrug Administration the authority toissue food recalls, instead of waitingfor companies and manufacturers todo that.
The new FDA website opens withhandy tabs across the page, linkingto All Recalls, Food, Drugs, Ani-mal Health, Biologics and MedicalDevices. By clicking on a tab youllsee the newest recall at the top, witholder recalls down the page. Click the text icon in the Photo column andyoull see the original press releaselisting dates of manufacture, lot num-
bers and model numbers of recalledgoods. Click the photo graphic, andyoull find an image of the packagingor wrapper.
Use the search box to find itemsyou dont see on the lists, or sign upto receive recalls and safety alerts. For
recalls more than 60 dayhave to check the archive
And if having a corecall site isnt enough, wan online database wh
post complaints about
on consumer products. Tlong time coming and thsome heated debates in Cthe manufacturing worlconsumers a voice as werepository for what otherabout product safety. Sagov will grow as its usefile complaints and informwide variety of products.
Besides allowing consa report, businesses canrespond.
To read what others are best bet is to do an advauncheck the Recall inselect Reports, which arconsumers. Then do a keyfor your item or even fsuch as toys that have causome cases, manufactureresponding to consumeand giving them compinformation.

It was Austrian philosopher LudwigWittgenstein who made the ollowingsage observation: I people never did silly things, nothing intelligent would ever getdone.
Much like armers o today, ancient Egyp-
tians who worked the land worried about a variety o animals that could destroy theircrops: locusts, sparrows, mice and worms.Unlike the typical Midwesterner o today,though, they also had to worry about hip-popotamuses.
he ierce Apache warrior we know
today as Geronimo was not originally sonamed. His given name was Goyahkla,which means one who yawns.
Weve all seen pictures o A rican wom-
en carrying heavy loads -- up to 75 poundsin some cases -- balanced securely on theirheads. But you might not realize that thesewomen can carry more, relative to body size, more e iciently than pack mules.

es, this might be a good time to rememberthat it was Americans who came up withthe idea o summer camp.

Nice guys nish... ourth alladega,Ala.
Know the cartoon where thesheep dog and the wol -- theyrenamed Ralph E. Wol and SamSheepdog i youre keeping ascorecard at home -- ght all day and then exchange pleasantriesas they punch their time cards atthe end o each day?
A bit o that dynamic comesinto play at alladega Super-speedway these days, only inreverse. Instead o parting ongood terms, Restrictor PlateRacing 7.0 is a program in whicheveryone plays nice -- or at leastattempts to do so -- until the very end.
But the seeming rivals dowork together. Some NASCAR
ans yearn or the days o ruggedindividualists and cold-bloodeddecisions. Tey want their a- vorite driver to look out or No.1. Or, perhaps, No. 88.In the latest case, many Dale
Earnhardt Jr. ans -- were talk-ing tens o thousands -- trampedto the parking lots and motoredhome rom alladega Super-speedway grumbling about whata good dude their hero was.
Earnhardt Jr. didnt win theAarons 499, but he was instru-mental in Jimmie Johnsons vic-tory. Earnhardt concluded longbe ore the nish that the dra t-ing partnership -- races at alla-dega and Daytona have becomealmost an entirely new genre inwhich drivers race in tandem -- with Johnson worked betterwith the winner o the past vechampionships riding in ront.
Te trouble, rom the perspec-tive o Earnhardts ans, is thatriding behind Johnson makesit impossible or Earnhardt towin. Not that Johnson wasnt asympathetic gure, mind you. Ithad been a whole 15 races sincethe perennial champions mostrecent victory.
And Earnhardt has been pros -pering. Why, he won ... 101 racesago. George W. Bush, no rela-tion to Kyle and Kurt (Busch),was president.
Te our drivers at HendrickMotorsports might as well be... musketeers. Tere were ouro them, you know: Athos, Por-tos and Aramis were eventually
joined by dArtagnan. Tey act-ed with esprit de corps, moraleand several other terms derived
rom French.All or one. One or all. Just
like Johnson, Earnhardt, Je Gordon and Mark Martin.Earnhardt explained it all mat-ter-o - actly in the style o theswell guy he is.
Well, I was more com ort-able pushing Jimmie [Johnson],and I think we were the astercombination pushing that way,he said.
I only there had been a eand bugle corps per orming inthe background, Earnhardtswords would have rung evenmore wholesome.
I I couldnt win the race, hesaid, I wanted Jimmie to winthe race because I had workedwith him all day, and hes my teammate and Im proud to bedriving or Hendrick Motors-ports, and this was a great nishand a great weekend or us to beable to quali y like we did, racelike we did, and we have awe-some engines and we build greatcars and we all nished very welltoday, and that is a tribute to thecra tsmanship we have back inCharlotte.
Johnson, o course, was ap-propriately grate ul.
O teammate and ourth-placenisher Earnhardt, Johnson
said, He made the decision thatmy car was aster leading, andthe way these things have been
nishing up that lead car is go-ing to have the win, so, in somerespects, he was more worriedabout the team having a goodper ormance than anything.
Tey are responsible or this wintoday.
Te atmosphere at HendrickMotorsports is obviously condu-cive to victories and champion-ships. Almost everyone in NAS-CAR says over and over that itis a team sport, even though, by de nition, it really isnt.
Dale Earnhardt, OriginalRecipe, once had teammates. Hetreated a guy named Mike Skin-ner as i he were his personal va-let. Much, however, has changedsince then.
