Problems with dogs run-ning loose were a majortopic of discussion Mondayduring the regular monthlymeeting of the Loyall CityCouncil.

Several complaints weremade by residents concern-ing the dogs, including acomplaint by former councilmember Mike Hall.

Hall said he had triedeverything to rid the com-munity of the dogs andfeared that someone wasgoing to be bitten if the dogs

were not either kept onleashes by their owners orpicked up by the dog war-den.

“Something is going tohave to be done with thesedogs before they hurt some-body,” Hall said, suggestingthat police officer ChrisHaught cite the owners fornot upholding the leashlaws.

Susan Ball, also a resi-dent of Loyall and formercouncil member, said therewere four dogs runningloose in the community on

Loyall to step upenforcement ofcounty leash laws

Crowded jails lead to alternative sentencingsASHLAND (AP) — Some judges and jailers in east-

ern Kentucky say overcrowded jails and tight budgetshave prompted them to consider alternative sentenc-ing for inmates.

Judge Marc Rosen told The Independent of Ashlandthat he hopes a such a program starts soon at theBoyd County jail. Officials there are working on a planthat allows inmates to work on Saturdays on projectssuch as maintaining cemeteries.

Carter County Jailer Randy Binion says he also isconsidering alternative sentences. He says the 144-bed detention center hasn’t met that number in sever-al years.

They have an example to follow in Greenup County,which started a successful work farm in April.Greenup County Sheriff ’s Deputy Darrell McCartysaid the farm had brought in about $1,500 worth ofproduce by the beginning of August and more isexpected.

TVA planning dry storage for coal ashCHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee

Valley Authority is preparing plans to convert its coalash operations from wet storage to dry storage in thewake of a massive ash spill from a retention pond lastyear in Tennessee.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reportedMonday that a staff proposal for converting the wetstorage systems at six coal-fired power plants inTennessee, Alabama and Kentucky will be presentedto the TVA Board of Directors on Aug. 20.

John Kammeyer, the newly named executive over-seeing ash operations, said the improvements could beexpensive and take several years.

Cost estimates for the ongoing ash spill cleanup atthe Kingston plant are now above $1 billion.

for all gross revenue inside the city’s limits.Most cities go by that (agreement) typically,”

Coleman said. “We are attempting to get thesecleaned up, as well as go around to our citycouncil meetings and see if there are any issuesthat I can take back with me.”

Howard recommended that attorney LindaAin, whom the city consulted during negotia-tions for a TV contract several years ago, becontacted regarding the agreement withKentucky Utilities.

“In the last 10 years, KU has not turned outto be the neighbor that Kentucky Utilities hasbeen in the past,” Howard said to Coleman. “Ithas been to the detriment of these small towns,and if we can find a way to make your compa-ny more answerable to the needs of the citizensof Harlan, then I will recommend that.”

City engineer Leo Miller later updated thecouncil regarding the time frame for work tobegin on the replacing of sidewalks and bury-ing of utility cables inside the city.

Miller said work is expected to begin by theend of September or the first week of October.He added that the project will set up into twophases.

“The first is work on Main Street trenchingand utilities. We have given that 60 days to getdone, and 120 days on sidewalks. So whoevergets the work, we will force them to do the util-ity work first and the sidewalks second,” Millersaid.

Cedar Street and thatthey had already chasedher 3-year-old grandson.

“The dogs chased mygrandson, and I wentstomping up the street tothe owners’ house likeGodzilla,” Ball said, not-ing that the owners of thedogs did not have any-thing to say about the sit-uation.

Ball told the councilthat the dogs had betternot bite or hurt hergrandson and urgedcouncil members to con-tact the dog warden andhave the dogs picked up ifthe owners were notgoing to uphold the leashlaws.

Haught said that hehad been working closelywith the dog warden con-cerning several com-plaints about dogs run-ning loose in the city, not-ing that he had alreadyappeared in court overone particular dog in anunrelated situation.

“The warden and I areworking to do everythingwe can to rid the city ofthis problem,” saidHaught. “It will be takencare of if we have to havethe warden set up thecages and catch any dogsthat do not have a properleash.”

Haught said the city’sproblem with unwanteddogs was not just con-fined to Cedar Street butwas a problem in severalother areas of the city aswell.

Haught also noted thatthe county’s leash lawsstill apply, even in thecity limits.

“Even though they livein the city limits, theystill have to uphold thecounty leash laws andhave the proper tags ontheir dogs,” said Haught.“This is something thatpeople need to under-stand.”

Haught also noted thataside from the leash anddog tag laws being countylaws, the rabies law is astate law.

“Dog owners are goingto have to understand

that there are laws theyare going to have to abideby,” said Haught.

Ball said while shedoes not want to see anydog harmed, she is main-ly concerned with thesafety of her grandsonand anyone else who maycome in contact with thedogs.

“These dogs are dan-gerous, and they need tobe kept away from thesekids,” said Ball. “I knowpeople love their dogs andanimals, but if they aregoing to keep them, thenthey need to abide by thelaws. A lot of people havedogs down here, but theykeep them in their yardand abide by the law. Ifsome people can upholdthe leash laws, then whycan’t everyone else?”

Although no nameswere mentioned duringthe meeting, Haught saidhe knew who the dogs’owners were and that hewould speak with themconcerning the problem.He also noted that he willcontinue working closelywith the dog warden toaddress the problem.

Earthquake hitsin Indian Ocean

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials onMonday reported that a huge 7.6 magni-tude earthquake struck in the IndianOcean and issued a regional tsunami watchfor India, Myanmar, Indonesia, Thailandand Bangladesh that was lifted later.

The U.S. Geological Survey said thequake was about 160 miles (257 kilome-ters) north of Port Blair in India’sAndaman Islands and about 20.6 miles (33kilometers) deep.

“The danger for a tsunami is real,”William Leith, an earthquake manager atthe USGS, said in an interview.

By comparison, however, Leith said thatMonday’s Indian Ocean quake, though verylarge, was “many times smaller” than amassive earthquake in December 2004 offIndonesia’s western island of Sumatra thattriggered a tsunami that killed more than230,000 people.

The tsunami alert was later lifted.Also Monday, an earthquake with a pre-

liminary magnitude of 6.6 shook Tokyo andsurrounding areas.

Quakes that occur that far apart aretypically not related, Leith said, but it wastoo early to say for sure; he said scientistswould be studying the two quakes.

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Tuesday, August 11, 2009

Apropos of nothing, Iawoke recently as unfocusedand grumpy as a bear com-ing out of hibernation. Ini-tially, I blamed my mood onthe weather. After monthsof blessedly cool and drydays kissed by a gentle sun,it was as if Washington'sweather had suddenlyremembered its true sum-mertime character: steamy,muggy and unbearable.With an exhale of air bestsuited for Aquaman's lungs,I admitted to myself thatsomething else was buggingme: Obama.

Though its onset shouldhave been as expected asD.C.'s swampy summerweather, I am now experi-encing a mild case ofObama fatigue.

Barack Obama is every-where! Above the fold on thenewspapers I read everymorning. On every newschannel, both radio andtelevision. Even, seemingly,on every magazine cover.On Time magazine alone,he appeared on the cover 12times in the past 12months.

Just this morning, I hadto put my papers down andturn on my computer afterreading an ad asking "DearMr. President" to considerwearing Lee jeans. Butthere was no relief fromObama fatigue on myfavorite Web sites. Instead,they featured a slew of adsdirected at the presidentand the health care legisla-tion pending before Con-gress. But, I have to admit,the admittedly clever Lee

Jeans ad crystallizes whatwas ailing me: Obamafatigue.

Obama's sartorial splen-dor, or lack thereof, mademajor news when heappeared in baggy "momjeans" to throw out the cere-monial first pitch at All-Star Game in St. Louis.Admitting that he "hates toshop," Obama later defend-ed himself on the "Today"show. "Those jeans are com-fortable," he declared."Here's my attitude:Michelle, she looks fabu-lous; I'm a little frumpy."Naturally, Lee Jeansimplored the president toconsider their product."Your jeans can be comfort-able and look good too.Really." Geez!

This fatigue is like whatsome experienced in 1993after another young presi-dent, William JeffersonClinton, settled into theOval Office to tackle enor-mous problems like theeconomy and health care.As Yogi Berra was said tohave observed, "it's deja vuall over again."

Except the role of formerGOP Texas senator PhilGramm is now played byRepublican South CarolinaSen. Jim DeMint: "If we'reable to stop Obama on

(health care), it will be hisWaterloo. It will breakhim." Conservative punditBill Kristol is playing therole of David Brock, consis-tently opposing any and allproposed legislation fromthe White House, even with-out reading it. And the BlueDog Democrats are playingthe role of the Blue DogDemocrats. (Recall that itwas a Democratic-controlledCongress that scuttled Clin-ton's health care reform.)

If Obama isn't careful, itwill be deja vu all overagain. In this respect, theDemocrats should act likeRepublicans and exercisesome party discipline.

According to Roll Callnewspaper, Obama will tryto rebound in August whenCongress adjourns for thesummer. Again, we haveseen this all before. Thepresident, after putting allof his chips on the table forhis economic plan, discovershe has failed to communi-cate to average Americanshow they would benefitfrom passage of his othersweeping reforms. We haveseen this movie before.

Old political rerunsmight be the cause myfatigue, but a welcome anti-dote would be if the presi-dent and the media wouldjust deliver the facts weneed and then disappear.

Yes, there is intenseinterest in our new presi-dent, but do we really needdays of pundits debating ontelevision whether heshould have killed that fly?Or worn those jeans? Smallwonder that when Obama

speaks as he did, seriouslyand with great depth ofunderstanding about racerelations, that we end upwith days of national cover-age and a White House beersummit.

Here is my bottom line:While it is normal for thepresident to dominate somany of our national con-versations, overexposuremakes it too rich for a dailydiet.

So let us all agree thatthe president and his fami-ly, including their dog, haveearned the right to takesome much-needed downtime. As have we. Leave theObamas alone for a whileand give us some time tosort through all that hasbeen done in our name andon the nation's credit card.

When Obama returns toWashington along withmembers of Congress, theyshould give us an update onthe state of the economythat advances the cause ofjob creation, holding downunnecessary and duplicativefederal spending and ahealth care plan thatreduces cost, protects choiceand expands coverage.

In the meantime, I planto walk away from uselesschatter and take a stroll,read a spy novel, attend abaseball game, catch up onthe latest movies, work alittle longer in my gardenand, perhaps, stick to thatdiet I abandoned during thepresident's first 100 days inoffice. Seeking the cure forObama fatigue, howevermild the case, will be a wel-come change.

TODAY IN HISTORY

Not too long ago, conven-tional wisdom seemed to dic-tate that gay marriage inAmerica was inevitable. Con-servatives, surprisingly,would tell me this more oftenthan anyone. But somethinghas changed. Carrie Prejeanhas had an effect on us.

That's the argument madeby my friend, Maggie Gal-lagher, president of theNational Organization forMarriage, in the latest issueof National Review.

After a series of judicialusurpations, legislative victo-ries, and public-relationsonslaughts, the gay-marriagemovement took a blow thispast November, when Propo-sition 8 was passed in Cali-fornia. Voters affirmed a bal-lot measure that definedmarriage as "between a manand a woman."

The sea change just mayhave come when a pretty,empathetic face came ontothe national scene. A youngbeauty contestant was askedabout her position on gaymarriage, and she answeredhonestly (and as it turns out,bravely): "I think that Ibelieve that a marriageshould be between a man anda woman." She added: "Nooffense to anybody out there,but that's how I was raised."

The fact is that howeveryou spin it, gay unions arenot marriage. And I write

this totally aware that het-erosexual culture has notdone what it should to pro-tect marriage. But our fallingshort — individually and cul-turally — is no reason to callthe whole thing off and erasea cornerstone of civilized soci-ety.

Gallagher writes: "Same-sex unions are really not justlike opposite-sex unionswhen marriage is in question.Celebrating all forms of adultromantic love equally is not avery good justification forredefining a fundamentalinstitution whose public pur-poses reach far beyond theaffirmation of romance."

The New York Times, justa day or so after Gallagher'spiece ran, confirmed thatsomething has changed. Inan article titled "Backers ofGay Marriage Rethink Cali-fornia Push," the paperreported on how, discouragedby the political and culturalclimate, many gay-marriageadvocates are scaling backefforts to overturn Proposi-tion 8. This, despite the sup-

posed inevitability of whichsome of my friends on theright were all but convinced,not long ago.

And despite the shrillassertions of the Prop-8 pro-testers, it's not impossible tofind members of the non-het-erosexual community with anambivalent view of marriage.

After the recent release ofa documentary about his lifeand career, fashion designerValentino Garavani wasasked if gay marriage shouldbe legal. He answered: "Formyself, all these years, Inever thought about it interms of changing the laws.[His business partner andlongtime companion Giancar-lo] Giammetti and I foundour own way — nothing con-ventional — and it wasalways friendship first,always the most importantthing: the friendship. I amneither for it legally, oragainst it, so I have no per-sonal agenda here."

Not particularly political,this answer can't be taken asoutright opposition to gaymarriage. But to these ears,there seems to be anacknowledgement of aninescapable truth: There issomething transparently dif-ferent between two men whodecide to spend their livestogether and a marriage.

And unlike the most stri-dent advocates of gay mar-

riage, who spent the timeduring and after the Proposi-tion 8 campaign intimidatingand punishing those whosupported the measure, mostof us who oppose gay mar-riage are not looking toexclude anyone from anykind of happiness.

Carrie Prejean is now aface of that kind of tolerance.The contrast of her mea-sured, mildly offered opinionto the angry, ugly Internetresponse from beauty-contes-tant judge Perez Hilton, whoasked Prejean the fatefulquestion, was striking. AsMaggie Gallagher puts it,Hilton's Web video "remindedtoo many people of what theysaw after Prop 8."

According to a recentCBS/New York Times poll,support for gay marriage hasdropped nine percentagepoints from a 42 percent his-toric high. According toGallup, only 13 percent ofAmericans believe that gaymarriage would make us bet-ter off, while 48 percentbelieve it would be change forthe worse.

While Republicans weretripping over themselves topose with the party's LogCabin branch and join themarch of inevitability, abeauty queen made it OK toconfidently acknowledge real-ity, in a loving and beautifuland even tolerant way.

They’ve got to be ------- kidding.“I’m a tough ----!”“Mom, stop him, he’s cussin’!”It wouldn’t even make decent reality TV. But that’s about

the level of discourse from the two leading candidates for theDemocratic nomination for U.S. Senate.

For the sake of argument, we’re willing to agree that Attor-ney General Jack Conway is indeed a tough son of a b----, ashe proclaimed at the Fancy Farm picnic Saturday. And we’reeven willing to take Lt. Gov. Daniel Mongiardo at his wordthat such language fairly makes him blush.

What we can’t see is that any of this matters. (Nor do wethink it really makes any difference that, as Mongiardo point-ed out, he is a true blue University of Kentucky grad whileConway went to the hated Duke. But it’s August, we mighthave a different call on that one come March.)

You see, we’re much more bothered by obscenities likethese:� Kentucky’s unemployment rate reached 10.7 percent in

June, the highest rate in 26 years;� For the second year in a row, Kentucky ranked 41st in

child well-being, according to Kids Count, the annual nationalaccounting by the Annie E. Casey Foundation.� Kentuckians are warned to limit the fish they eat from

six lakes and creeks because of the toxic mercury and poly-chlorinated biphenyls in the water.� In 2007, before the current economic crisis took hold, 38

percent of Kentucky children had no parent with a full-time,year-round job.� Over half a million adult Kentuckians have no health

insurance.� The 2000 census found that in Kentucky almost 22 per-

cent of families with children under 5 — and a stunning 56percent of families with children under 5 headed by a femalewithout a husband present — lived in poverty.

It will take a real tough son of a b---- to address those prob-lems. Have at it, gentlemen.

DEAR ABBY: My 18-year-old sister, "Cheryl,"left home abruptly a weekago. She suddenly stoppedtaking all her medications,shut off her cell phone andleft town with her under-age boyfriend. She is adelightful person who alsohappens to be diabetic,asthmatic and bipolar.Mom received one phonecall (from a landline) men-tioning that she "might" beheading toward the EastCoast.

I consider my sister dan-gerous to herself and oth-ers because she has a his-tory of reckless violencewhen she's off her meds.My question is, how canyou find someone whodoesn't want to be foundwhen they NEED to befound?

HEARTBROKEN SISTER IN INDIANA

DEAR SISTER: If youthink YOU are worried,what about the parentsof the underage boy?Your next step shouldbe to contact them andalso your mother, sothat all of you can notifythe police and reportthem missing. And whenyou do, be sure toinform them that yoursister has several condi-tions that require med-ications, that she's offall of them and could bea danger to herself andthe young man. Thencross your fingers.

* * * * * * * *DEAR ABBY: I have

recently met a woman Ireally connect with, but Ihave a problem with set-tling down. I have alwayshad difficulty restrictingmyself to one person whenI'm seriously dating. I wantto change so my lifestylewon't come back and biteme in the butt — but I'mnot sure what to do.

What I'm asking is,what do you suggest forsomeone like me to getcomfortable with the ideaof settling down so that Iwon't be destined for fail-ure?

UNSURE IN RICHMOND, VA.

DEAR UNSURE: Slowdown. You may havebeen dating the wrongwomen. When two peo-ple are truly compati-ble, there is less tempta-tion to look for othercompany. Take thingsslowly and get to knowthe lady you're current-ly dating. If she quali-fies in all the areas youthink are important andyou still find yourselflooking around forsomething in addition,

then you may have aproblem and should talkto a therapist becauseno one woman can evercompletely satisfy aman who craves variety.

* * * * * * * *DEAR ABBY: My father,

who is in bad health,recently announced that hewould like to be crematedand buried at the foot ofmy mother's grave. Mybirth mother died 28 yearsago when I was 2, afterthey had been marriedonly three years.

Dad married my step-mother when I was 8. I feelhe should be buried withthe wife he's been with for22 years. She is the onewho has seen him throughthe worst times in his life,his heart attack andstroke. My stepmotherseems to have no negativefeelings about it.

Am I wrong for thinkingthat a husband and wifeshould lie side-by-sidewhen their time comes —with a single headstonewith their names and datesof birth/death/marriage?Or is there some tradition Idon't know about that he

should be buried with hisfirst wife?

ENQUIRING INCLARKSTON, WASH.

DEAR ENQUIRING:Your stepmother is real-istic and unsentimental.She knows your fatherwas married before, andthey may have dis-cussed this between thetwo of them. Perhapsshe feels that becauseyour father prefers to

be interred with yourmother, that's where hebelongs. Your stepmoth-er had him during themost important years —while he was living andbreathing. And whoknows? She may marryagain, so think positive-ly.

Back-to-school time hasalways been exciting forchildren. It's a time tomeet new friends, newteachers and resume theadventure of learning. Butback-to-school time is notjust for kids anymore. Ifour schools are going to dothe job we expect them todo, everyone must pitch inand help. That includesparents and everyone inthe community.

The fact is, schools todaycan't do the job alone.There is more diversity. Insome schools, studentscome from dozens ofnations. We are living inthe Information Age, atime when our nation'seconomy and securitydepend more on the qualityof education than at anyother time in our history.That's why more and morestates and communitiesare requiring students andteachers to reach for highstandards of learning, andwhy the public is demand-ing real results for its taxdollars.

So we encourage everyparent, family and citizento use this back-to-schoolseason to make a personalcommitment to supportingbetter education in theircommunity. When childrenare surrounded by adultsand communities thatvalue education, they getthe message that theireducation is important.And they're more likely tobuckle down and do theirbest. When children see

that adults and communi-ties don't care about educa-tion, they get the oppositemessage. And we all lose.

To spread the messageabout the importance offamily and communityinvolvement in education,Harlan County and Harlancity schools hold back toschool events called “Backto School Bashes,” “Back toSchool Block Parties,” and“Back to School Nights.”These events offer free funand supplies for students,such as the Harlan CountySheriff ’s and Chaplains’Back to School eventscheduled for Aug. 11 from6-9 a.m. behind the HarlanCenter and Huff Park.

Here are a few ideasthat can get you started:� Employers: Be "fami-

ly-friendly." Give youremployees the time to meetwith teachers or volunteerfor school activities. It'sgood for education andgood for your bottom line.Giving parents flexiblework schedules helps youkeep your top-notch work-ers. Also, encourage youremployees to be mentorsand tutors to young people.Offer students internshipsand work-study experi-ences. And invite teachers

into your workplace toshow them skills thattoday's workers must have.This will help teachers tomake sure students takethe courses they'll need togain those skills.� Parents: Try to slow

down your lives and helpyour children grow. Spendat least 30 minutes a daysupervising your children'seducation. Start early, andread to your youngest chil-dren. Share books withyour older children. Keepin touch with teachers.Make sure your childrenare doing their homework.Keep TV watching andgame playing to a mini-mum. And talk with yourchildren frankly aboutdrugs and violence and thevalues you want them tohave.� Educators, community

leaders and law enforce-ment officials: Many com-munities are holding townmeetings with mentalhealth professionals to talkabout troubled youth andschool violence. Thinkabout holding one in yourschool’s community. Talkabout ways to help trou-bled youth and find waysto connect each young per-son to a least one caringadult. Every child shouldfeel that he or she is themost important person inan adult's life. Creatingconnections and a caringenvironment in the home,at school and in the com-munity is an importantpart of preventing vio-

lence. And work with oth-ers in your community todevelop quality after-school and summer pro-grams. 4-H offersAfterschool Teen Clubs,and we are looking forleaders in every communi-ty. Isn’t it better to havechildren in school wherethey can continue learning,rather than being at homealone or going out on thestreets or playing violentvideo games? � Teachers and school

officials: Make your schoolparent-friendly. Reach outto families and remove theobstacles that sometimesmake them reluctant to getinvolved in school activi-ties.� Students: Challenge

yourselves! Take the toughcourses in middle and highschool that will put you onthe road to college andcareers. Take algebra ineighth grade, geometry inninth grade, and physics,chemistry and trigonome-try in high school. Takefour years of a foreign lan-guage, and an AdvancedPlacement art, music,English or history course.Explore tech prep andother career courses.SKCTC offers manyoptions for high school stu-dents. Contact the collegeand ask about those pro-grams. Studies show thatstudents who take academ-ically challenging highschool courses are morelikely to attend and com-plete college and earn more

in the work world, regard-less of their family's finan-cial status, race or gender.

Elementary school stu-dents should focus on read-ing, reading, and reading— and math, too. Developthose basic skills, and don’tforget the importance ofwriting. We need comput-ers in every classroom.Technology is criticallyimportant if we're going toprepare our children forsuccess in the 21st century.

If you want to getinvolved, you don't have togo it alone. Building part-nerships is the key. Joinwith others in your com-munity to determine yourschool's needs and thenask teachers and princi-pals how you can supporttheir efforts. We are inevery school in HarlanCounty, public, private andChristian. We even offer a4-H Program for HomeSchooled students whomeet at the ExtensionDepot the second Mondayof each month, and wewant to be more involvedin the high schools.� It is OK for you and

your kids to feel the 'backto school blues'. But if youfeel that your child seemstoo worried or apprehen-sive, make sure you take aquiet time out to ask ifthey are OK.� Talk about change.

Whether it is a new schoolor a change in your fami-ly's circumstances, maketime to talk about anyfears or worries. Why not

visit the school to get yourchild used to the new jour-ney.� Your child may be

worried about losingfriends who are going to adifferent secondary schoolor about making newfriends. You could try invit-ing an old school friendround for tea at the end ofthe first week so they cancompare notes.� Tell your children you

are proud of them. If yourchild is about to start animportant year such askindergarten or first yearat secondary school, theyneed a bit more reassur-ance. Todd’s Lindsay willbe starting kindergartenthis year, and it seems hermother is having moretrouble with it than she is.� Re-address any prob-

lems left over from lastterm. If your child hasexperienced bullying orhas had problems atschool, make sure youunderstand what theywant to happen, too —even if it just means talk-ing about it.� Be prepared to give

them a bit of leeway for thefirst week. School can be along day for kids, and whenthey are out of practice itcan be exhausting.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) —When the rain held off and TheGlen heated up, Smoke was in hiselement.

Tony Stewart won the rain-delayed NASCAR Sprint Cup raceat Watkins Glen International ona steamy Monday, muscling an ill-handling car in the early goingand then holding off AustralianMarcos Ambrose over the final 21laps for his Cup-record fifth victo-ry at the famed road course.

“I love it when it gets slick,”Stewart said after his 36th Cupwin. “There’s just something aboutthis place. We’ve been really good.”

Stewart has finished first orsecond in eight of the past 11 Cuproad races, but had to keep thehard-charging Ambrose at bay.Ambrose won the Nationwide race

here Saturdaywith a daringmove that sur-prised Kyle Buschfor the lead andfinished third ayear ago in theCup race afterstarting last.

“I was watchinghim (Ambrose),”

Stewart said. “I think we werestronger in the parts we needed tobe and we never looked at thefuel.”

It was Stewart’s third win in hisfirst season as an owner-driverand the seventh road course win ofhis career, second to four-timeWatkins Glen winner JeffGordon’s NASCAR-record nine.Stewart has six consecutive top-two finishes at Watkins Glen, alsowinning in 2002, 2004, 2005, and2007 and finishing second in 2006

and 2008.All of Stewart’s previous suc-

cess at The Glen came with crewchief Greg Zipadelli at Joe GibbsRacing. Darian Grubb was atopthe pit box this time for Stewart-Haas Racing.

The two-time Cup championalways seems to peak in the hotdays of summer, and he’s right onschedule. Stewart has finishedfifth or better in eight of his last 10starts, all top 10s, and leadsJimmie Johnson in the standingsby 260 points. All he has to do onSunday at Michigan is start therace to secure his spot in the 12-man Chase for the Cup title.

“We’ll keep working hard.That’s what we have to do,” saidStewart, who led 34 laps. “We’ll befocused on what we’ve got to donext week. We’ve got to do whatgot us to the dance.”

Added Grubb: “We’ve still got

work to do. We’re trying to getstronger every week, and this wasa testament to the effort. We knowhow good Tony is here, and we’regoing to get stronger. Hopefully, wecan carry that momentum into theChase.”

The race originally was sched-uled for Sunday, but a string ofthunderstorms forced it toMonday. Last week’s race atPocono also was postponed toMonday because of rain.

Ambrose was second, a careerbest, and Carl Edwards third. KyleBusch, Greg Biffle, Juan PabloMontoya, Kurt Busch, Max Papis,Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlinrounded out the top 10. PolesitterJimmie Johnson, seeking his firstcareer road win, finished 12th.

Kyle Busch, 13th in points,closed the gap on 12th-place MattKenseth for the cutoff spot in the10-race Chase. Busch, who entered

the race 102 points behindKenseth, narrowed the margin to58.

“This was a good finish for us,”said Kenseth, who was 14th. “Wejust need to make our teamstronger.”

The chaos that everybody wasexpecting on the double-filerestarts never materialized. Therewere no major incidents in thehard, downhill, 90-degree right-hand first turn.

Ambrose started fourth and ranup front early. But pit strategydropped him deep in the field mid-way through the 90-lap race. Hestayed out when the rest of theleaders pitted for the first timeand was running 22nd on lap 50after making his first stop.

“It was the first stop,” Ambrosesaid. “We were third and stayedout and everybody pitted. We could

ST. LOUIS (AP) — KyleLohse won for the first timesince injuring his forearmmore than 2 1/2 months ago,working six effective inningsin the St. Louis Cardinals’ 4-1 victory over the CincinnatiReds on Monday night.

Colby Rasmus drew abases-loaded walk in thefifth off Kip Wells (0-3) forthe go-ahead run and MattHolliday, Khalil Greene andBrendan Ryan hit balls offthe wall in a two-run sixth.The NL Central leadershave won four in a row, andat 63-51 are a season-high12 games above .500.

RedsstarterJohnnyCuetoinjured hisleft hip run-ning out agrounder inthe top of thethird andwas removed

from the game. A teamspokesman said Cueto, whoallowed a run in two innings,will be evaluated Tuesday.

Lohse (5-7) won for thefirst time in six starts sincecoming off the 15-day dis-abled list on July 12, limit-ing the Reds to a run on fourhits. He walked none in astart that qualified for a vic-

tory for the first time sincebeing struck on the armwhile squaring to bunt byRoyals reliever Ron Mahayon May 23.

A 15-game winner lastyear, Lohse had been 0-3with a 5.84 ERA since com-ing off the DL. He lost twoprevious starts this seasonto the Reds, for whom hepitched in 2006 and 2007.

Blake Hawksworthallowed a hit in two inningsand Ryan Franklin finishedfor his 27th save in 29chances.

Wells replaced Cueto andretired the first seven bat-ters in order in his firstappearance in 10 days sincebeing recalled from Triple-A

Louisville, and first in themajors since June 23 withthe Nationals. Then he lostthe plate with three walks inthe fifth, the last with thebases loaded to the free-swinging rookie Rasmus, toput the Cardinals ahead 2-1.

Albert Pujols, who has anNL record-tying five grandslams this season, failed tocapitalize on his latestchance with a routine flyoutagainst Jared Burton to endthe inning. Pujols is 8 for 11with the bases loaded withfive homers and 27 RBIs.

Reds center fielder WillyTaveras slammed face-firstinto the wall chasingHolliday’s line-drive tripleleading off the sixth, staying

in the game after receivingmedical attention. RBI dou-bles by Greene and Ryan offthe wall in left and left-cen-ter gave the Cardinals a 4-1lead.

Notes� The Reds have

allowed 97 first-inning runs,most in the majors.� Wells threw 27 pitch-

es in the fifth, only nine ofthem strikes.� Pujols booted Joey

Votto’s grounder in the sixthfor his ninth error at 1B, hishighest total since he had 14in 2005.� Greene has an RBI in

three straight games.

PGA will fine Woodsfor criticizing official

CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — Tiger Woods will be fined bythe PGA Tour for his public criticism of a rules officialafter winning the Bridgestone Invitational, a tour officialsaid Monday.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity becausethe tour does not publicize fines.

Woods was bothered after his four-shot victory Sundaybecause he and Padraig Harrington were put on the clockat the par-5 16th. He said that caused Harrington to rushthree difficult shots, leading to triple bogey.

European Tour chief referee John Paramor told Woodsand Harrington they were being timed.

Woods said he told Harrington after it was over, “I’msorry that John got in the way of a great battle.”

Paramor said the final pairing was well behind most ofthe back nine, but officials gave them time to catch up.They were still 17 minutes out of position on the 16th tee,when they were put on the clock.

SPARTANBURG, S.C.(AP) — Carolina Panthersreceiver Steve Smith wascarted to the locker roomwith a right shoulder injuryMonday night, the latestblow to another key player inan injury-filled start to train-ing camp.

X-rays were negative, butgeneral manager MartyHurney was uncertain howlong the four-time Pro Bowlreceiver will be out. Smithwas injured when he got tan-gled with cornerback ChrisGamble early in the eveningworkout, held without pads.

Seeing one of the NFL’stop receivers wincing in painproduced some tensemoments for the Panthers, aweek after they lost starting

defensive tackle MaakeKemoeatu for the season dueto a torn Achilles’ tendon.

This injury doesn’t appearto be as serious, but couldkeep Smith out for a while.

Smith crumpled to theturf and grabbed his rightarm after a slight collisionwith Gamble in a passingdrill. He took off his helmetand kicked it before walkingto a nearby tent, favoring hisright shoulder.

Smith was briefly treatedbefore being carted inside,where he underwent X-rays.It wasn’t immediately clear ifSmith would be taken toCharlotte to be further evalu-ated.

Smith had 78 catches for1,421 yards and six touch-

downs last season and is thetop target of quarterbackJake Delhomme. Smith, whoturned 30 earlier this year, isCarolina’s franchise leaderwith 51 touchdown catches.

The Panthers have littleproven depth behind him.The other starter is 36-year-old Muhsin Muhammad.Dwayne Jarrett, who hascaught 16 passes in his firsttwo seasons, is the leadingcandidate to be the No. 3receiver this season.

Linebacker Jon Beasonreturned to practice aftermissing nine workoutsbecause of a strained lefthamstring. Fellow starterThomas Davis remainedsidelined due to a sprainedright knee.

have pitted. We were offsequence and had to run ourown race.”

Ambrose ducked into thepits on lap 55 for fuel onlyand made up 10 seconds onleader Kyle Busch. A mul-ticar crash involving Gordonand Sam Hornish Jr. on lap63 brought out a 19-minutered flag stoppage and putAmbrose back in the mix.

Kasey Kahne precipitat-ed the crash when he divedinside of Hornish comingout of turn nine on the 11-curve track and sentHornish into the grass onthe left side. Hornish’s No.77 Dodge caromed off a tirebarrier and back onto thetrack, and Gordon’s No. 24slammed head-on into it,spinning violently aroundinto the Armco barrier lin-ing the track.

Both Gordon andHornish climbed from their

cars uninjured. Alsoinvolved were Andy Lally,Jeff Burton and JoeyLogano.

Stewart cleared leaderKyle Busch on the restart onlap 67. Busch chose the out-side line as the leader andStewart took advantage,getting past him on the firstturn and holding him off upthrough the high-speedesses.

“It’s a hard decision whenyou’re leading to decideexactly where you need tobe,” Stewart said.

Stewart needed every lapof caution he could get tomake it to the end of the220.5 mile race, and the fifthcaution helped. The finalyellow flag came out on lap71 for debris, setting upanother double-file restart,this time with Ambrose

alongside.Ambrose dived low inside

to start lap 74, but Stewartblocked him and maintainedthe lead, with Kyle Buschand Edwards, who started33rd, in close pursuit.

Ambrose, running onolder tires, never mounted achallenge as Stewart main-tained a lead of more than asecond over the final 10laps.

“I threw everything Icould at him,” said Ambrose,who won the Nationwiderace here Saturday with adaring move on Kyle Busch.“We got stuck in the back ofthe pack and had to make agamble. The extra laps wehad on the tires hurt. Iclosed in on him, could seehim make a few mistakes,but we couldn’t quite closethe deal.”
