In 1956, Jay’s Drive-In openedas a booming business. Fifty-three years later, loyal patrons ofJay’s Sandwich Shop watchedlast week as one of the last rem-nants of the “old Harlan” came toan end.

The business had operated asJay’s Sandwich Shop in theWheeler Building since 1968until the last meal was served onApril 26. Former owner MargaretDowns Gregory, the widow of JayDowns, said she was sad to hearof the shop’s closing.

“It was a good place, and I’vegot a lot of good memories there,”said Downs, who currentlyresides in Corbin. “I had a boom-ing business — a great business.

The people in Harlan were really,really good to me.”

Downs said she never plannedon working in the restaurantbusiness, but the idea came upwhen her and her late husbandwere working together atBower’s.

“I was working on the ladies’side, my husband was working onthe men’s side,” said Downs.“One day he said, ‘I’m tired offolding shirts and selling shoes —we’re going to go into business forourselves.’”

“We just went into it andstarted as a little hamburgerplace and a drive-in,” saidDowns.

Jay’s Drive-In was located inBaxter near the old bridge andcoal monument. They operatedthere until 1968, when they sold

the drive-in to Ken Moody andmoved into the Wheeler Building.

At that time, downtown Har-lan was full of locally ownedrestaurants, including Ackley’s,Pop’s Cafe, Townsite, CreechDrug and Howard Drug.

“It ’s different now,” saidDowns. “We’ve been gone for 20years ... (but) I still have a softspot in my heart for Harlan.”

Jay Downs passed away in1973, but Margaret Downs con-tinued to operate the businessherself until 1980, when she soldJay’s Sandwich Shop to MonaCouch. The most recent ownerwas Ronnie Bingham, who couldnot be reached for comment.

Many of the restaurant’spatrons have been upset includ-ing local writer Charlotte Nolan,

Although several candi-dates were discussed, theLynch City Council unani-mously approved the selec-tion of Winston Yeary Sr. tofill the city’s vacant councilseat Monday.

Yeary will replace formercouncil member Hal Woodswhose resignation wasaccepted during the city’sApril council meeting. He isexpected to be sworn insoon.

“He is a very experiencedman. He knows what’sgoing on and has priorknowledge, having servedon the council before,” coun-cil member Carl Collinsstated of Yeary’s selection.

“I am choosing WinstonYeary because I think weare in a rather delicate situ-ation trying to pass ourbudget, and he has experi-ence with that,” addedcouncil member Anne Carr.

The council later dis-cussed the lack of actionfrom auditor GaryWilliams.

“We have somewhat of aproblem with our CPAworking on the 2006-2007annual audit,” Carr said.“He is not particularlydesirous — in fact, he hasrefused to discuss our auditin a public meeting.”

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama promisedsternly on Monday to crack down oncompanies “that ship jobs overseas”and duck U.S. taxes with offshorehavens.

It won’t be easy. Democrats havebeen fighting — and losing — thisbattle since John F. Kennedy madea similar proposal in 1961.

Obama’s proposal to close taxloopholes was a reliable applauseline during the presidential cam-paign, but it got a lukewarmresponse Monday from Capitol Hill.Sen. Max Baucus of Montana, theDemocratic chairman of the SenateFinance Committee, said the planneeded further study, even thoughsimilar ideas have been around foryears.

The president’s plan would limitthe ability of U.S. companies todefer paying U.S. taxes on overseasprofits. At the same time, Obamawould step up efforts to go afterevaders who abuse offshore taxshelters.

Obama said his plan would raise$210 billion over the next 10 years,

though no taxincreases would gointo effect until2011. That’s anaverage of $21 bil-lion a year, lessthan a 2 percentnick in a federalbudget deficit thatis projected to hit$1.2 trillion in

2010.Lost revenue isn’t the only prob-

lem, Obama says. He contends thecurrent system gives companies anincentive to invest overseas ratherthan creating jobs in the U.S.

“It’s a tax code that says youshould pay lower taxes if you createa job in Bangalore, India, than if youcreate one in Buffalo, N.Y.,” Obamasaid Monday.

The business community arguesthe deferral system helps themcompete against foreign companiesthat pay taxes only in the countrieswhere they generate profits.

The bottom line?“Nobody should miss the fact

that this is about revenue,” saidRaymond Wiacek, head of the taxpractice at the law firm Jones Day.“These companies have the money,

and the U.S. government needs themoney.”

Obama also proposed a packageof disclosure and enforcement mea-sures designed to make it harder forfinancial institutions to helpwealthy individuals evade taxes inoverseas accounts. Obama said thegovernment is hiring nearly 800new IRS agents to enforce the taxcode.

“I want to see our companiesremain the most competitive in theworld,” Obama said at a WhiteHouse announcement. “But the wayto make sure that happens is not toreward our companies for movingjobs off our shores or transferringprofits to overseas tax havens.”

Obama’s plan would impose bil-lions of dollars in new taxes onmany of the nation’s largest corpo-rations, including Google, GeneralElectric, Hewlett-Packard, Intel andJohnson & Johnson, tax expertssaid. But it falls well short of thebroad overhaul of the tax systemthat will probably have to wait untilat least next year — after Congressdeals with health care and energy.

In exchange for the increasedtaxes some companies would haveto pay, Obama agreed to make per-

manent a research tax credit thatwould provide firms about $75 bil-lion in breaks over the next 10years. The credit currently is toexpire at the end of the year.

Obama has widespread supportin Congress to crack down on taxevaders who illegally hide assets intax havens. But he faces stiff oppo-sition — even within his own party— to increasing taxes on the legaltransactions of U.S. multinationalcompanies.

“To the extent the president con-tinues on the road of cracking downon tax abuse, he can count on mysupport,” said Sen. Chuck Grassleyof Iowa, the top Republican on theSenate Finance Committee. “But ifhe’s using tax shelters as a stalkinghorse to raise taxes on corporationsat the cost of U.S. jobs, he’ll lose me.”

A coalition of business groupshas already stepped up lobbyingefforts to kill attempts to increasetaxes on overseas profits, saying itwould make American companiesless competitive.

“We’re talking about Americanjobs at American companies andtheir ability to compete overseas,”said John J. Castellani, president ofthe Business Roundtable.

At issue is the way the U.S. taxesthe overseas profits of Americancompanies. Under current law,American corporations with sub-sidiaries in foreign countries candefer paying U.S. taxes on the prof-its of those subsidiaries until themoney is transferred back to thiscountry.

If companies leave the moneyoverseas, where corporate tax ratesin most countries are lower than inthe U.S., they can avoid Americantaxes on those profits indefinitely. Ifthe money is brought to the U.S.,corporations can subtract foreigntaxes already paid.

The U.S. has a top corporateincome tax rate of 35 percent, whichis among the highest in the devel-oped world. However, most corpo-rate income is taxed at much lowerrates because of deductions andcredits.

In 2004, large corporations paidan average effective tax rate of 25.2percent on domestic income, accord-ing to a Government AccountabilityOffice report last year. For foreignincome, the effective U.S. tax ratewas about 4 percent, the report said.That figure does not include taxespaid to foreign countries.

who said she had breakfastat Jay’s Sandwich Shopnearly every day for thelast 30 years. According toNolan, the shop was one ofthe last remnants of thedowntown Harlan she grewup with, as well as a socialhub for the people workingand living in downtowntoday.

Businessman andHarlan council memberGrady Lee was part of the

shop’s loyal Sunday crowd,and said he hated to see itclose.

“There’s no place quitelike Jay’s,” said Lee. “It wasa gathering place. You sawthe same people there allthe time.”

Now, Lee speculates thatJay’s morning crowd will bedispersed to several fast-food places around town,which aren’t the same tohim.

Howard formed the part-nership between the schooland the guild not only to pro-duce the competition but as away to get members of thecommunity involved with theschool’s students and allowthem a way to utilize the newfacilities. The guild has beenholding its regular monthly

Several council memberssuggested selecting a newCertified Public Accountantto handle the city’s audit.

“Why don’t we start dis-cussing going with someoneelse?” Collins stated. “I’msick of this.”

The council also accepteda letter of resignation fromcurrent mayor Bob Collier tobecome effective on May 12.

Later during the meeting,the council discussed a pos-sible replacement for Collier.

Collins noted that Lynchresident Leslie Young hasexpressed interest in theposition, while council mem-ber Bennie Massey said theRev. Ronnie Hampton hasalso said he is interested inthe vacant post.

The council approved aspecial-called meeting forWednesday at noon to dis-cuss and vote on a newmayor.

The council then enteredinto an executive sessionpursuant to KentuckyRevised Statute 61.810 (1)(F) to discuss the disciplineof an employee.

Upon conclusion of theexecutive session, Collier

announced that the city willbe running an advertise-ment for an academy-trained police officer.

“They are talking about

After the meeting con-cluded, Collier said he hasno plans to fire Lynch PoliceChief James Miller, who wasarrested on May 6 andcharged with fourth-degreeassault (domestic violence),alcohol intoxication in a pub-lic place and second-degreedisorderly conduct.

OpinionPage 4 — Harlan Daily Enterprise Tuesday, May 5, 2009

When I came to Harlanthere were a few things thatsurprised me. One of thesethings was seeing grand-mothers (real grandmotherswith gray or white hair)smoking cigarettes. I hadnever seen that before. Ihad seen snuff dipped bythe older ladies on theirTennessee porches, but inthe late 1960s I had neverseen a grandmotherly per-son with a cigarette (andcertainly not a pipe)between her lips.

The second surprise hadto do with grandmothersalso; I’m not sure how to saythis, but I had never knownof a person in her 30s orearly 40s who was a grand-mother. I ’m not sayingthere weren’t any; theremust have been, but all thegrandmothers that I hadknown before coming toHarlan all looked likegrandmothers. And therewas an attitude here thatsurprised me; many peopleat age 40 acted old andacted like they felt old. Icouldn’t figure that out.The generations in my fami-ly before me lived to be anold age (three of my fourgrandparents died in their90s), and because of theGreat Depression my par-ents’ generation marriedlate and started their fami-lies late, so since my motherwas 36 when I was born andmy grandmother and aunthad babies in their late 40s,I just couldn’t understandpeople feeling old at 40. Itruly believed the adagethat “life begins at 40.” Iwas flabbergasted to hearyoung men here in their 20scall their wives “the oldwoman” and they, in turn,call him “my old man.”

Our surroundings and

culture mold us in waysthat we don’t usually eventhink about, and we pick upsome traits and attitudesthat need looking at andtweaking along life’s way.The question arises in mymind, “Can we change ourattitudes? Can a change ofattitude really change ourbehavior, our feelings aboutlife, and our outlook on life?

I think the answer is,“Yes, yes and yes.”

I really believe that if Ithink that I am old or sickor have experienced all thatlife has to offer that I willlive in a different way fromthe person who has the atti-tude of thinking newthoughts and thinks thatlife is just beginning. Ibelieve that this is impor-tant because our body lis-tens to what we tell it. Justlast weekend, we attendedtwo performances of thewonderful Higher Groundproduction in Cumberland,and we were thrilled by itsmessage and excellence.There were actors of everyage, including men andwomen near or beyond age80, dancing and singing andinspiring all of us with theirtalent, enthusiasm andenergy. As I age, I amamazed at how many newthings there are to learnand experience. Gayle Law-son, before her death, wasworking hard well into her90s helping to improvethings in Harlan County.

Attitude………when youget right down to it, atti-tude is the thing that makesthe difference in people,because it is our attitudethat determines whether weview the world through eyesof fear or eyes of belief. Fearparalyzes creativity andcauses us to build boxesaround our thoughts andlives and robs us of our pos-itive thoughts little by little.I once heard a statementthat I liked, made by anolder person still engaged inmeaningful activities. Hesaid, “I’d rather wear outthan rust out.” That soundslike a meaningful philoso-phy of life. A fearful personrarely takes chances, andsince life is a series of deci-sions involving takingchances; fear robs us ofmeaningful life.

When a person believesin himself and in a powerbeyond himself and is will-ing to really live life, he isan energy giver rather thanan energy taker. He thinksnew thoughts, reaches outto others, takes chances,feels positive about others,and is a joy to be around.That person invents, makesimprovements and plantstrees for the next genera-tion to enjoy. I read lastweek that in 1899 the U.S.Patent Office almost closedbecause the executive incharge of that office said,“Everything that can beinvented already has been.”{Although Charles H. Duellis credited with that state-ment; it is more likely thatit is legend that this exactstatement was made.} Icould laugh about howridiculous that statement isif I didn’t see people occa-sionally who live as thoughthey believe it. If we buy

into that philosophy aboutour lives, we stop learning,and we stop dreaming. Howsad.

There are differentstages and seasons in ourlives; to accept that bringscontentment to our lives. Ifwe fail to recognize agingand change, that can bringmisery. Do you know somewho are trying to prove to“somebody” that they can doat 50 the same physicalthings they enjoyed at 20?Now, that is a way to stayupset. The happy people arethose who understandchange and limitations,realize that each season oflife has pluses and minusesand adapt to those thingsthat are appropriate. Wecan’t trick death; aging isinevitable, and those whoadapt to the truth of thatfact can live life to itsfullest.

I hear mothers say some-times about their children,“She/he needs an attitudeadjustment.”

I say that I think we alldo; we all need to check ourattitudes daily to see if weare slipping into attitudesthat have been handeddown to us (probably sub-consciously) that are takingaway joy and meaning toour lives. Negativethoughts, grumbling,thoughts of giving up or“checking out” rob us andthose around us. You don’thave to buy into just anythought that hits yourmind. Let’s use a gratitudefilter to see if we can adjustthe important attitude areaof our lives. Let’s try a doseof gratitude to cure thatattitude.

The public defenders that make up the KentuckyDepartment of Public Advocacy are increasingly called onto provide legal representation to those who can’t afford it.

These attorneys have struggled to keep up with anexpanding flow of criminal defendants running throughKentucky’s judicial system that has fueled one of the coun-try’s largest increases in prison population.

The number of cases public defenders handle makes it achallenge simply to remember a defendant’s name, letalone the facts of his case. The sheer caseload size threat-ens to overwhelm their dedication and hard work.

On average, these attorneys are assigned more than 400cases per year, according to a 2007 study by the depart-ment. In Lexington, the study found public defenders aver-aging more than 650 cases each. ...

This year the state cut the department’s funding to thepoint where without new money it would have to close itsdoors next month until the new fiscal year and a new bud-get cycle starts on July 1.

Along with threatening to create a logjam of criminalcases, that lack of funding could have put Kentucky in vio-lation of the constitutional guarantee to provide legal rep-resentation for those defendants who can’t pay for it them-selves. ...

Thankfully, the Department of Public Advocacy receivedsome relief last week when Gov. Steve Beshear announcedthe state would use $2 million from a salary fund to bridgethe department’s funding gap to next fiscal year. The addi-tional funding comes with cost-saving measures such as ahiring freeze and delaying the payment of certain billsuntil next fiscal year.

This immediate relief does nothing to address the long-term inadequacies of how the state has funded the systemof public defenders created in 1972 at the request of then-Gov. Wendell Ford.

It has never been popular to shift sometimes scarcestate dollars to defend criminals in court. Other more pub-licly supported state services typically win out in budgetbattles, and that creates even more challenges given Ken-tucky’s current revenue problems.

But ensuring the integrity of Kentucky’s legal systemdepends upon adequately funding the work of publicdefenders.

Whenever lawmakers next take up the state budget,they need to provide the money not just for these attorneysto do their jobs, but to do them justice.

Although tomato harvestis a few months away, now isthe time to begin thinkingabout preventing diseasethat will affect your toma-toes. Nothing can ruin amouth watering tomatomore than reaching for oneon the vine only to find anugly, flattened spot on it. Ifthe ugly spot is located onthe fruit opposite the stemend, it is likely blossom endrot, a disease caused by alack of calcium that com-monly occurs in tomatoesbut can also affect eggplant,peppers and many cucur-bits.

Blossom end rot spots

develop into dark brown,leathery decays that mayaffect half of the tomato.Calcium is an essential partof the chemical “glue” thatbinds cells together withinthe fruit.

When fruits are enlarg-ing rapidly, sufficientamounts of calcium do not

reach the end of the fruit.This causes cells to comeapart, resulting in a rot ordecay in that area.

Calcium does not moveeasily from other plantparts, so any disruption inthe plant’s uptake can resultin a deficiency.

Soils in Kentucky arerarely deficient in calcium,but water plays a criticalrole in the plant’s uptakeand distribution of calcium.So maintaining an even sup-ply of moisture is importantin controlling blossom endrot. However, to be sure thata soil is not calcium-defi-cient, soil tests should be

taken, and if needed, it canbe applied as lime prior toplanting.

Irrigate plants as needed,and use mulch to conservesoil moisture. Irrigate on aconsistent basis. Don’t allowplants to become stressedfrom too much or too littlewater. Avoid wetting foliageas much as possible as thiscould encourage fungal andbacterial diseases to developon the plant.

Trickle or drip irrigationis an excellent way of get-ting water to plants withoutthe risk of wetting thefoliage or splashing soil ontothe foliage, which can also

lead to disease problems.In addition, excessive

amounts of ammonium tendto depress a plant’s calciumuptake. Avoid using urea orfertilizers high in ammoni-um. Instead, choose fertiliz-ers high in nitrate. Calciumnitrate is an excellent nitro-gen fertilizer, although it ismore expensive than othernitrogen sources.

DEAR ABBY: My onlychild, "Lauren," is 16. Herboyfriend, "Scott," treatedher well when they firststarted dating a year ago.Now he talks down to her,makes fun of her and breaksup with her every otherweek for a few days.

Lauren doesn't talk to usabout these break-ups oranything else. She talks toScott's mom and dad andbelieves everything they tellher.

Lauren used to be close tomy sister and her kids, butnow she ignores them. Shewould stay at Scott's 24/7 ifwe'd let her.

She goes there even whenhe's not home, and has askedif she could spend the nightover there. Of course, werefused.

We're not bad parents.Her friends all tell ourdaughter how lucky she is.Lauren has a nice car, prettyclothes and just about every-thing she wants. She doesn't

have chores, but she holdsdown a part-time job forspending money.

I don't know why sheallows Scott to disrespecther and why she has forsak-en her family. We liked Scottand his family at first —until they started turningour daughter against us.She'll be 18 before long, andI don't want to lose mydaughter. Help!

TROUBLED MOM IN TENNESSEE

DEAR TROUBLEDMOM: Your daughter "hasa nice car, pretty clothesand just about every-thing she wants."

Nowhere in your letterdid you mention disci-pline and accountability."Chores" are for morethan spending money.They reinforce the ideathat a child is a con-tributing member of thefamily.

Your daughter is 16,thinks she's in love andhas no experience. Scott'sbehavior is emotionallyabusive, and he breaksup with her regularlybecause he wants somefreedom. I don't knowwhat your daughter isgetting from Scott's par-ents — perhaps it's "hope"that their son really isPrince Charming. (Not.)

I applaud the fact thatyou didn't allow yourdaughter to spend thenight with him. There isstill time for you andyour husband to imposesome rules in your home,and I hope you will do so.Family counseling could

help to open the lines ofcommunication, and youshould get some rightaway.

* * * * * * * * *DEAR ABBY: One of my

co-workers has been con-ducting long phone callswith her newly marrieddaughter, who seems to behaving marital troubles. Theconversations are interest-ing and quite personal.Sometimes I feel awkwardhearing all the uncomfort-able details, but the calls areimpossible to ignore in ourquiet little office.

How do I tactfully let theoffender know she's broad-casting her daughter's pri-vate life to the entire office?One would think her manypersonal calls would weighupon her conscience, but sheseems oblivious.

Should I send an anony-mous note, let the officemanager deal with it or let itgo? I'm ashamed to admit it,but I can't wait to hear the

next installment of "MyDaughter Is TooIncompetent to Handle HerOwn Life."

HOOKED ON THE DRAMA

DEAR HOOKED: Howwell do you know yourco-worker? If you're at allfriendly, do her a favorand tell her the phonecalls have become a topicof conversation in theoffice. If you are not closeand the calls keep you

from getting your workdone, then say somethingto the office managerbecause what the womanis doing is unprofession-al.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — On one ofthe biggest days of his life, LeBronJames took the long way home.

Once inside his hometown’s citylimits, James pulled his high-pow-ered Ferrari off I-77 and drove theback roads to St. Vincent-St. MaryHigh School, his alma mater.

Turning on Maple Street, hewent past his first house on Hickory.Then, it was past the one on SilverStreet, where his mother, Gloria,began raising him by herself. Jamesvisited The Boondocks, where heand his friends first dribbled on theplaygrounds.

James retraced the steps onMonday. His path to NBA super-stardom.

An unstoppable offensive forcewho became an elite defender this

season, Jamesclaimed the leagueMVP, receiving theaward in the gymwhere he firstbecame a star.

“This is a placewhere all mydreams started andwhere I thoughtthey could become

real,” James said. “There’s really nota better place.”

The Ohio kid anointed KingJames as a teenager has a newcrown.

An MVP vote some expected to beclose was another slam dunk byJames. He received 109 of a possible121 first-place votes to easily outdis-tance Kobe Bryant of the LosAngeles Lakers. James totaled 1,172points in balloting by media mem-bers in the U.S. and Canada.

Bryant, last year’s winner, gottwo first-place votes and finishedwith 698 points. Miami guardDwyane Wade was third with 680points and was named first on sevenballots. Orlando center DwightHoward (328) was fourth followedby New Orleans guard Chris Paul(192).

The race was never in doubt. Itwas James all along.

“I’m 24 years old and I’m receiv-ing this award, I never thought itwould happen this fast,” he said,standing under three state title ban-ners he helped win for the FightingIrish. “I never dreamed about beingMVP, but if I said I didn’t enjoy thisaward I’d be lying. Hard work paysoff and dreams do come true.”

James is the first Cavaliers play-er to win the award. He averaged28.4 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2assists this season, his sixth as a

pro. He also finished second in vot-ing for defensive player of the year,making him perhaps the league’smost dominant two-way playersince Michael Jordan.

Along with a trophy, James wasgiven a new car, which he donated toa local charity.

After learning he won, Jamesknew he wanted to share it withfamily and friends. He knew therewas only one place to do it: At hisbeloved St. V., the school where hewas a high school phenom.

As James — who got a policeescort for the final miles — drove upabout an hour before the ceremonyin his metallic gray $225,000 carwith W1TNES vanity license plates,a crowd chanting “M-V-P” rushedinto the street outside the school.

The scene was more civil laterwhen James took the stage and wasserenaded by hundreds of students

sitting in the same bleachers heused to.

The setting was fitting for James,who earlier this year had the words“Loyalty” and “Family” tattooed ver-tically along his rib cage.

In the past, the MVP trophy hasbeen presented at team practicefacilities or arenas. But James want-ed a special location.

League spokesman BrianMcIntyre said the intimate ceremo-ny was unlike any before.

“When he heard what LeBronwanted to do, we gave it about a sec-ond’s thought, and said that’s agreat idea,” he said. “This was won-derful.”

James credited his Cavaliersteammates, who attended the cere-mony along with coach Mike Brown,for raising their games inCleveland’s best season ever. The

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) —Speedway Motorsports Inc.officials said Monday theyhave asked NASCAR to addKentucky to the 2010 SprintCup Series schedule.

Any chance SMI has iscontingent on the formerowners of Kentucky MotorSpeedway dropping anantitrust lawsuit againstNASCAR and InternationalSpeedway Corp., its sistercompany.

SMI chairman BrutonSmith, who traveled to theKentucky Derby last week-end to make a case for drop-ping the suit, has so far beenunsuccessful in his efforts.

“We’re trying to persuadethese people to try to dropthat appeal, and then theyare out of the way ofNASCAR, and it would makeit much simpler,” Smith said.“We haven’t been able tomake that occur. There’s onlytwo people holding it up.”

Smith is willing to give upa race date at one of his sevenother facilities to getKentucky on the schedule. Hewould not reveal which trackhe is considering, and SMIpresident Marcus Smith saidno decision has been made onwhich track would lose a dateif NASCAR adds Kentucky toits 36-race schedule.

“We’ve done everything weneed to make sure Kentuckyis not out of play in 2010,”Marcus Smith said. “It’s sortof a chess game from here.”

SMI agreed to pay $78.3million last year for the tracklocated in Sparta, which cur-rently hosts a NASCAR sec-ond-tier Nationwide Seriesrace but has been unsuccess-ful in landing a covetedSprint Cup date.

Kentucky’s former owner-ship group filed a 2005antitrust lawsuit againstNASCAR and InternationalSpeedway Corp. overKentucky’s failure to secure aCup race. The suit was dis-missed in early 2008, but thecase is on appeal.

NASCAR has said it willnot consider Kentucky for arace until the suit is dropped.

“As we have consistentlysaid, no request will be con-sidered until the pending liti-gation is resolved,” NASCARspokesman Ramsey Postonsaid in an e-mail.“Furthermore, the window forrealignment requests israpidly closing.”

Poston would not revealthat deadline. Last year,NASCAR ruled out Kentuckyfor the 2009 Sprint Cupschedule in late May.

SMI would likely have toput together an extensiverealignment proposal to getKentucky on the scheduleduring a window of favorableweather. Marcus Smith saidthe Kentucky track’s weatherwindow is similar to Lowe’sMotor Speedway, which hostsraces in May and October.

Kentucky is the eighthNASCAR-sanctioned track inSMI’s portfolio, but the onlyone without a Cup race. Withseating for 68,000 fans, it’scurrently the largest venuethat hosts a Nationwide racebut doesn’t have a Cup date.

BOSTON (AP) — DwightHoward returned from hisone-game suspension to get16 points and 22 reboundsMonday night and help theOrlando Magic hold off thelate-charging Boston Celtics95-90 in the opener of theEastern Conference semifi-nals.

The Magic opened a 28-point lead early in the secondhalf before Boston cut thedeficit to 91-87 in the final 2minutes. The Celtics had sev-eral chances to come withinone possession — the bestRay Allen’s 3-pointer thatrimmed out with 43 secondsleft.

Paul Pierce made a 3-pointer with 6.6 seconds leftto make it a three-pointgame, but J.J. Redick went 4-for-4 from the line in the last14 seconds to ice it.

“We got complacent as ateam, stopped doing what wedid to get the lead andagainst a good Celtics teamyou can’t do that,” Howardsaid. “I’m not happy with theway we ended the game.”

Pierce scored 16 of his 23points in the second half andRajon Rondo had 14 points,10 rebounds and eightassists.

Game 2 is Wednesdaynight in Boston.

Kendrick Perkins had 16rebounds for Boston, butRondo and Allen both went 2of 12 from the field. TheMagic had a cold spell of theirown in the fourth quarter,going just 5 of 20 from thefield to lose most of a once-

dominatinglead that hadthe Bostonfans booingtheir team offthe court athalftime.

Bostonhad just oneday off sinceeliminating

the Chicago Bulls in a best-of-seven series — 7 3/4, actually— one many consider the bestfirst-round playoff series inNBA history. The teamsplayed a record four overtimegames and seven overtimesperiods in all — nearly threeextra quarters of basketball.

Celtics backup point guardStephon Marbury, who waslittle help in the Bulls series,made consecutive rainbowscoop shots and added twomore baskets in a span of justover 2 minutes to help Bostonerase an early five-pointdeficit and take a 30-28 leadwith 8:43 left in the first half.

But the Magic scored 26 ofthe final 32 points in the firsthalf and then scored 11 of thefirst 12 in the third quarter toopen a 65-37 lead.

The Celtics used a 15-4run to get the lead under 20points and came as close as74-60 near the end of thethird quarter. Mickael Pietrushit a 3-pointer to make it 81-64, then Boston scored sevenstraight points, getting ajumper from Pierce, a 3-point-er off a jump ball from EddieHouse and then Rondo’s stealand dunk to make it a 10-point game.

It was the first time thecrowd got back into it sincethe opening quarter.

hopes will make the trackworthy of a Cup race. Theexpansion will add 50,000seats and an infield areacatering to motor homesthat would accommodateup to 600 vehicles.

SMI also will build newrestrooms, concessionstands and souvenir shops.

Speculation has putAtlanta Motor Speedwayat the top of the list of SMItracks that could lose adate to accommodateKentucky, but MarcusSmith said it would bewrong to assume thattrack has already beenselected.

Last year, SMI agreed toa three-track swapping ofdates that moved its fallrace up to the more covetedLabor Day weekend slot.It’s assumed the race willnot be plagued by the sameweather issues that madeAtlanta a difficultOctober/November sell,and its new holiday week-end date will attract racefans who traditionallyspent Labor Day weekendat Darlington Racewaybefore that track lost thedate to California.

Atlanta’s spring race isstill plagued by spottyweather and saggingattendance, but a straightswap of that date withKentucky would not workbecause early March is not

ideal conditions for a racein the Bluegrass state.

Bruton Smith dismissedspeculation that hisInfineon Raceway in

Sonoma, Calif., would takeover Atlanta’s spring dateand Kentucky wouldassume Infineon’s lateJune spot on the schedule.

RaceContinued from Page 6

Cavs went 66-16, 39-2 athome and earned the top seedin the playoffs — a franchisefirst.

“Individual accolades comewhen team success happens,”James said. “You look at those14 guys over there, I got theaward because of them. Theyput in the work.”

James invited his team-mates to the podium and pre-sented each with an expen-sive camera.

“This award is going to belike the both of ours, but I’mgoing to keep it at my house,”he cracked.

At 24 years, 106 days onthe final day of the regularseason, James is the youngestplayer to win the award sinceMoses Malone (24 years, 16days) in 1978-79. Wes Unseldwas 23 when he won it in1968-69.

James vied all season forMVP honors with Bryant and

Wade, his teammates on theU.S. gold medalist Olympicteam last summer.

“He deserved it,” Wadesaid. “I said all year, I thoughtLeBron was the MVP of thisleague. He’s a guy who everyyear is going to be in that con-versation. ... He showed it allyear, especially with histeam’s success.”

Focused from the start, the6-foot-8, 250-pound Jamessharpened his already formi-dable skills this season.

He started a career-high81 games and set personalbests in field-goal (49) andfree-throw (79) percentagesas well as blocks (93). Jamesbecame the second player topost five straight seasons ofat least 27 points, sixrebounds and six assists. Theother is Robertson, whose ver-satile game is the one towhich James’ is most oftencompared.

James nearly averaged atriple-double — 32 points,11.3 rebounds and 7.5 assists— as the top-seededCavaliers breezed through

the first round of the playoffs,sweeping Detroit in fourgames. Cleveland hosts theAtlanta Hawks in Game 1 onTuesday.

“My mission hasn’t beencompleted,” James said. “Istill I have a lot of things Iwant to do this season. I wantto have another celebration inJune.”

With his longtime girl-friend, Savannah, and theirtwo sons sitting up front,James thanked his family,friends and former team-mates during a touchingspeech. Promising not to cry,he spoke fondly of his mom,who struggled to raise heronly son.

“I don’t know how you didit,” James said.

Better than anyone, GloriaJames understood her son’strip through his old neighbor-hoods.

“It didn’t surprise me,” shesaid. “He has never forgottenwhere he came from.”

Soon, it was time forJames to head home, a placehe never left.
