JOYCE BROTHERS Dear Dr. Brothers: T knew there were pitfalls when I p1arried an older man. but I never thought this would happen. My dear husband is in his 60s now. and I am in my late 40s. Our sex life has dwindled to practically nothing over the years. and I think he senses my dissatisfaction with this state of affairs. So, last night he suggested I take a lover so I can keep my sex life going! I was shocked, especially when he said he would watch. What do I say to this odd proposal? - S.A. Dear S.A.: Odd it is, and odder still that you don't hint at your reaction. It must be that you are confused and torn between being horrified that your husband would take your marriage vows so lightly as to be willin~ to o_penly share you with a stranger (and that is putting 1t pohtely), and awe at his altruistic nature, looking out, presumably, for your physical happiness. You know him ... so do you know where he is coming from? Is it a mere extension of a voyeuristic fetish, or does he harbor guilty feelings at being too old or unable to perform? Have you made it clear that he is inadequate lately or that you might have to move on? What's up? Once you have answered these questions and can be honest with yourself, it is time to be honest with him. If the idea appeals tQ you, don't forget to explore its long-term implications. It is cheating, after all is said and done, so your marriage will never be the same. And be forewarned - if he is merely testing you to see·if you would go for such an outlandish proposal. your will.ingness to consider it at all will tell him all he needs to know. So you can see how important your husband's motivation is to this situation. He may be desperate to hold on to you by sharing you, or he may be cynically willing to do so in order to get his own brand of jollies. It is up to you to know him and yourself well enough to sort it all out. gallon, for a total of $100, a tax of 26 cents is levied upon him and the state collects 26 cents." Pfeifer wrote. "Is this not a tax 'levied or collected upon the sale or purchase of food?"' Gerhardt 'Gage' GosnelL an attorney for the grocers association, said the court appeared to rely heavily on the presumption of constitutionality for the Legislature's laws to overtum a unanimous ruling in the grocers' favor by a state appeals court. "We're obviously disappointed that Ohio's consumers will continue to pay more for their food for what we believe amounts to nothing but a sales tax under a different name:· Gosnell said. The outc.:ome represents Attorney General Richard Cordray's first victory arguing a case in the Ohio Supreme Court since he took office. It was also the first time he had argued a case himself since becoming attorney general. Those opposed to the grocers· effotts feared that a ruling in their favor would lead to other successful industry challenges to the business tax. creating more consequences for the budget. • ''I am thankful for Supreme Court's decisi which protects the integrity of Ohio ·s reformed tax code and upholds the broadba~ed.low-rate structure that gives Ohio the lowest business taxes in the Midwest," Gov. Ted Strickland said in a statement Thursday. The Commercial Activities Tax was enacted as part of a broad tax over: haul beginning in 2005 to replace ~a corporate franchise tax that had become riddled with loopholes and exemptions. The tax was first collected in the 2006 fiscal vear and will be fully phased in in tJ:lis fiscal year. ''Had this case gone the other way. all of these changes to Ohio's tax Jaws may have been at risk."

But the rating agencies huvc b~:en criticized for failin¥ to identify risks in securities backed by subprime mortgages. They had to downgrade thousands of the securities last year as homeloan delinquencies soared and the value of those investments plummeted. The downgrades contributed to hundreds of billions in losses and writedowns at big banks and investment firms. In a rule that was formally adopted Thursday, the agencies will have to disclose the history of their ratings actions. which normally include reasons for them, back to mid-2007 - when the SEC gamed authority to regulate the agencies by law. Also. agencies that are paid by companies to rate complex securities - such as those underpinned by mortgages or student loans. as opposed to more traditional corporate or municipal bonds - must now notify the other agencies that it is in the procc::.~ of determining the rating. Und~r another proposed rule, the agencies would have to publicly disclose every entity that paid for a credit rating. They also would have to provide more information about income earned from companies they mte. "These proposals. are needed because investors often consider ratings when evaluating whether to purchase or sell a particular security," SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said before the vote. "That reliance did not serve them well over the last several years, and it is incumbent upon us to do all that we can to improve the reliability and integrity of the ratings process.'' In California, Attorney General Jerry Brown launched an investigation into the three big credit rating agencies to determine what role they might have played in the collapse of the financial' markets. Brown said he had subpoenaed the three firms to determine whether they violated state law in "recklessly giving stellar ratings to shaky assets." In July. the California Public Employees' Retirement System sued the agencies, saying they had lured the fund into bad investments. The nation's largest public pension fund blames them for more than $1 billion in investment losses.

Meanwhile. flash orders have become a hot-button issue in recent weeks amid questions about transparency and fairness on Wall Street. A flash order refers to certain members of exchanges - often large in:)titutions - buying and selling information about ongoing stock trades millbcconds before that information is made public. Nasdaq OMX Group Inc., which operates the Nasdaq Stock Market, and the BATS exchange ha\'e voluntarily stopped using flash orders. which made up an estimated 3 percent of stock trading. The New York Stock Exchange has never used them. In July, Sen. Charles Schumer. D-N.Y., had called on the SEC to ban flash orders, threatening lcgisla· tion if it failed to act. "This propos11l will once and for all get rid of flash trading, which if left untouched. could seriouslv undermine the fairness and transparency of our markets,'' Schumer said in a statement Thursday.

I hate a fellow whom pride or cowardice or laziness drives into a comer. and who does nothing when he is there but sit and growl. Let him come out as I do, and bark." - Samuel Johnson ( 1709-1784). Friday, September 18,2009 AP Poll: A year later, worries linger on economy Bv JIM KuHNHENN ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER WASHINGTON - One year after Wall Street teetered on the brink of collapse, seven out of I0 Americans Lack confidence the federal government hac; taken safeguards to prevent another fmancial industty meltdown. according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. Even more - 80 percent - rate the condition of the economy as poor and a majority worry about their own abihty to make ends meet. The pessimistic outlook sets the stage for President Barack Obama as he attempts to portray the financial sector as increasingly confident and stable and presses Congress to act on new banking regulations. The public sentiment also poses a challenge to central elements of Obama's governing agenda. Half of those surveyed said deficit reduction should be a national priority over increased· spending on health care, education or alternative energy. "I know a lot of people who don't have health care and really can't afford it:' said Judy Purkey. a 57-yearold grandmother from Morristown, Tenn .. who has raised four grandchildren and is living on disability payments. But she added: ''The economy is so bad. You've heard the expression getting blood out of a turnip? -· Well. that's what's going on." The president. in a CBS The Daily Sentinel . ... .. .. been promoting the stimulus package as a job creator and job saver that has helped keep unemployment from rising above its current 9.7 percent level - the highest since f9M3. Michael Painter. a 3g- · year-old unemployed plumber from Orlando. Fla .. said that while he believed that spending package .would ultimately stimulate the economy, it had yet to help him or his laid-off wife and teenage daughter. He said he approved of Obama 's job performance so far. but nut Con!!re!>s'. "The people in Congress need to quit bickering about party issues and start worrying about people issues." The Obama administration also has begun to portray the financial sector in more upbeat terms. eager to make the case that government interventions begun under then-President Bush and continued. altered or expanded under Obama have brought stability to the markets. Obama plans to deliver a speech Monday the anniversary of Lehman Brothers· bankn1ptcy - to outline the administration's achievements and press Congress to enact changes in bank regulations. But the AP-GfK poll illustrates the difficulty he faces. More Americans worry about facing big. unexpected medical expenses now than they did in July - up 7 percentage points to 68 percent among those polled. Likewise. more wony that the value of their stocks and retirement investments will drop - up 4 percentage points from July to 68 percent. October, ti-A In President Bush pushe~ $700 billion financial rescue package through Congress on the condition that only half could be spent without further congressional authority. Obama. upon becoming president in January. succeeded in getting the second amount released. despite growing apprehension among lawmakers about the wisdom of <;uch a bailout. Obama has repeatedly said that the rescue of the financial sector would be incomplete without a new regulatory regime that would prevent a recun·cnce of the crisis. Obama has sent the outlines of possible regulation to Congress. Key banking lawmakers in the House and Senate have promised Obama legislation by the end of the year, but there is vigorous debate over key e.lem~ ns of Obama 's plan, includit new consumer finance tection agency and the designation of the Federal Reserve as the main overseer of large mstitutions that could pose risks to the system.

The overnight rate LETTERS TO THE EDITOR interview that aired Sunday on "60 Minutes," acknowledged the public's quandary. "This is a very difficult economic environment. People are feeling anxious." he said. "And I think it is absolutely fair to say that people started feeling some sticker shock." Still, Obama generally avoided public blame for the recession or the condition of the banking sector. Only one out of five surveyed said Obama bore responsibility for the recession: 54 percent blamed former President George W. Bush and 19 percent blamed fom1er President Bill Clinton. institutions. Financial however. bore the brunt of the cdticism - 79 percent of those surveyed said banks and lenders that made risky loans deserve quite a bit of the blame. Sixty-eight percent held the federal government responsible for not adequately regulating banks and 65 percent blamed borrowers who could not afford to repay loans. In a glimmer of good news for the administration. 17 percent of those surveyed said the government's massive economic stimulus has improved the economy, a 10 percentage point increase over July. Nearly six out of 10. however. said they are not confident that $787 billion that Congress approved to lower taxes and inject spending into the economy will do any good. The White House has that banks charge each other tO bOrrOW money - a key indicator of the credit market-;' overall health - has plummeted. The London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, stands at 0.~9 percent today. It soared above 6 percent last September when fear threatened to choke off lending throughout the financial system. But those improvements are some,vhat misleading. Lending - especially for homes - is beino greased by trillions of d~llars the federal government has made available to banks. The Federal Reserve has provided nearly $340 billion in low-cost loans for banks. It has purchased $625 billion worth of mortgage-backed sec uri ties to drive down interest rates on home loans. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. is guaranteeing about $300 billion in bank debt, which enables banks to borrov.· at lower rates. No one wants to :-ce a return to the easy credit that Jed to the financial crisis. The question is when will credit return to normal ' not too loose. not too tight and nm propped up by the government? Not soon, financial analysts and government officials say. "We will not make the mist<~ke of prematurely declaring VICtory or prematurely withdrawing public support for the tlow of credit,'' savs Lawrence Summers, ti1e White House's top cconomk adviser. Some analysts think it could take four or rive years for the Fed to withdraw the money entirely and shrink a balance sheet that is now if you can get one about .$2 trillion. more than double what it was when the financial crisis struck. The 2ovemmenfs role in steadying the housing market is huge. Home sales are rising. but more than two-thirds of U.S. mortgages made in the first half of this vear were later sold to Fannie'Mae and Freddie Mac. which are 80 percent owned by the federal government. Three years ago. Fannie and Freddie's combined share was 33 percent, according to Inside Mortgage . Finance. a trade publication. Some financial analysts rear what will happen as the government winds down its lending programs. These analysts say banks have become so hooked on federal aid that they may become even more reluctant to lend once it is gone. The mongage industry is particularly wonicd. lt has been pressuring the governmem to extend an $8,000 tax credit for first-time home buyers. fearing a recent increase in homes sales could prove fleeting without the tax break. The White House said Wednesday that it's considering extending the tax credit, which is scheduled to expire in November. ··It's the No. I question in the market: Can we wean oursehes off our addiction to cheap governmcnt-suppJkd credit?" says Mitch Stapley. chief fixed income officer at Fifth Third Asset Management in Grand Rapids. Mich. If not, the nascent economic recovery could be cut short. Weak lending and borrowing would limit corpo· rate and consumer spending . which accounts for 70 percent of econom1c activit).'. . The incentives are especially important these days, lenders sav. because the habits of borrowers have changed. In a sign that the recession and rising unemployment have made people leery about taking on more debt, the national savings rate was 4.2 percent in Jul. dipped to a low of 0.8 cent in April 2008. Big banks are not risk averse. Rather. their reluctance to lend reflects the fact that they must conserve cash to absorb billions in losses still expected to occur from bad loans that were made before the crisis. FDIC-insured banks lost $3.7 billion on bad loans and other soured investments in the second qumter. Another factor sapping their appetite for lending is their diminished ability to pool loans into secudties for sale to investors. a process known as securitization. This secondarv market allows banks to reap fees when they !Sell the securities. as \\ell as get cash to make more loans. At its zenith, the securitiLation market funded $9 trillion in loans. The collapse of Lehman Brothers led panicked investors~ pull their money out of marketplace virtual y overnight, wrecking the !-ecuritization business. "The assembly line for loans is broken:· says Whalen of Institutional Risk Analytics. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bemanke predicted this week the market "will come back" but probably not at the :;ize it was. For consumers. that's made qualifying for credit a challenge .

The sponsors of this church page do so \vith pride in our community Gentleness Gentleness Is the eighth vtrtue which St. Paul lists as the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. The Greek word Mprautes• is sometimes translated as gentlenes~ and sometimes as meekness, but in any case, the Greek word has the sense, not of weakness, hut of powPr undPr restraint. The gentle person may have the means and authority to do so, but exercises kindly self-restraint in not doing so. The soldier who shows mercy to his enemy upon capturing him would be exercising this virtue, as would a king who forgives a subject deserving of punishment. Aristotle spoke of this v;rtue in the context of anger, and said that It was a vice both to be too easily angered and to be incapable of anger; the v rtue, with respect to anger, was to be angry at the righty time and towards the right person, and to the appropriate degree. Consider how Jesus was generally gentle, even when being condemned unjustly, but that his anger flared appropriately when faced with the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, or when overturning the tables of the moneychangers, who had defilea the temple. Most of us are too quick to anger. We get angry over imagined slights and all sorts of minor misunderstandings and differences of opinion. We should rein in our anger and develop a gentleness wh1ch shows that we are children of God. ' Brethren, if a man is overtaken In any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God.

People. businesses and the entire economy seems to be falling apart all around us. w can this be? We live in ree and prosperous land. is can not be happening? WelL the truth is, it is happening. People are walking around in a daze not knowing what has hit them. Many are nervous and fearing what tomorTow might bring. Some are concerned about the healthcare system that our government wants to implement - and they should be concerned. Others are concerned about oil prices eventually going up again. A few are concerned about even water going up. Some believe that water will go up higher than oil ever will. On the other hand, there are others that think that all is welL and nothing will ever go wrong. If anything goes wrong the government will fix it.

The sheepskin scroll was believed to have been completed in 1878. the date of the inscription on its wooden handle. The handle also bears the name of the couple who donated it to their congregation in Moravske Budejovice. in what is now the Czech Republic. It was kept in a warehouse with other Torahs and Judaica after Hitler came to power, corning under the Nazis' control. After the Nazis fell, the cache from the Central Jewish Museum in Prague was controlled by communists who eventually sold the scroll and 1,563 others to a London synagogue in 1963. That repository, the Memorial Scrolls Trust, has given the Torahs to congregations, museums and other ups as symbols of sural of the faith and a con• nection to all the Jews lost during the Holocaust. "We've sent them all over the world," said Evelyn Friedlander, the Londonbased curator of the trust, "and they've come back to life.'' The scroll came to Miami after Marmorstein placed the synagogue's name on a waiting list several years back. Like all the trust's scrolls, it remains the property of the J.,ondon organizcrtion, on indefinite loan to the temple.

Bianca Lerner, 80, survived the Holocaust in part by being taken in by the parents of a Christian friend and then hiding in a Catholic orphanage. She remembers being forced with her parents from their home. Her father was killed in a Polish ghetto. Her mother died at the Treblinka extermination camp. "My parents just walked out of our apartment, which was beautifully furnished with antiques and Oriental rugs and we just walked out and that was it," she said. "Since then.

Lal{ewood city leaders want · to protect towering Roman Catholic church from closure LAKEWOOD (AP) The City Council and mayor are trying to protect an ornate Roman Catholic church that was slated to be closed by the Diocese of Cleveland. 'City officials have pro-· posed an ordinance that would prohibit the diocese or any future owner from tearing down St. James Church or gutting its interior. The towering stone building is one of 52 parishes in the eight-county diocese slated to be eliminated• by next year' through mergers and closings. The proposed regulation . would protect any structure that the city designates a historical or cultural landmark. It is designed specifically to save the church and is on track to become law next month. ·'They can challenge it legally, and there would be a fight,'' said Mayor Ed FitzGerald. ''But I thinK we're on solid ground'. We're making sure they have due process." Robert Tayek. a diocesan spokesman, said in a statement that the diocese "is taking the matter under advisement· to determine how to interact with the city in this matter." The church was built over 10 years beginning in 1925 and has polished marble, granite sculptures, carved oak and inlaid ceramic tiles. Architectural historian Tim Barrett, who works for the city of Cleveland, said . it's filled with fine stone. "St. James is one of the most exotic buildings in the region," he said. ''It's a total experience walking into that building. It really is one of a kind." Letter to Mom BY MARLYN (BURNS) 8UGG Dear Mom, This letter will be a short one. I don't have much time.

This is a true-to-life nightmare we are living in this foreign land, where the heat and sand are a part of life, and it takes courage to be a man.

Late goal stymies Gallia Academy in tie with Logan B Y ANDREW CARTER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT CENTENARY - Gallia Academy was just over three minutes away from earning its fifth victory of the season Thur~day. but for the second straight match. a late defensive breakdown foiled the Blue Devils' plans. Logan's Tyler Myers scored with 3:33 to play to salvage a 2-2 draw for the Chieftains at the GAHS soccer complex. "We played hard and executed well tonight, but mental lapses are killing us," said Gallia Academy head coach Mike Oyer. Logan (0-5-1 ). still in search of ns first \\in in 2009, opened the scoring 15 mmutes into the match. David Dunn came up "'ith a · loose ball in the GAHS penalty area and banged a low shot past Devils' goalkeeper Allie Troester at the 25:04 mark to give the Chieftains a 1-0 lead. GalliaAcademy (4-3-1, 12-l SEOAL) bounced back to tie the match five minutes later when Josh Jackson converted a penalty kick. The referee ruled that Blue l:orey Devils forward Eberhard was tripped just inside the Logan box and pointed to the spot. Jackson beat Logan goalkeeper Derek Montgomery with a line drive to the left comer to knot the score at 1-1 with 2<J.56 remaining in the first half. The Blue Devils took a 21 lead at the 12:02 mark when speedy striker Cody Robinson outpaced the Logan defense to catch up with a 50-yard through ball from Zeke Maher. Robinson slipped the ball past Montgomery into an open net to give Galha Academy the edge heading into halftime. It appeared Gallia Academy was well on its way to getting in the win column for the first time since Sept. 8 when the Blue Devils edged archrival Jackson. 2-1: however, Logan took advantage of a scramble in the GAHS box and Myers benefited from the confusion, beating Troester from eight yards out to tie the match at 2apiece. "The players aren't satisfied with results like this,'' Dyer added. "They know they can step it up and play better. But we're much better compared to where we were at this time last year. I think we're ready to go to the next level with this program.'' Gallia Academy ha:- three matches remaining on it:. long Septembc1; home stand.

Ky. coach acquitted _in rare player death case B Y B RETT B ARROUQUERE ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER LOVISVILLE. Ky. - A former Kentucky high school football coach was found not guilty Thursda) in the death of a player who collapsed at a practice where the team was put through a series of sprints on a hot summer day. It was a rare criminal prosecution of a coach in a player's heat-related death. Former coach David Jason Stinson. 37, was charged after 15-ycar-old Max Gilpin collapsed at an August 2008 practice as the team ran a series of sprints known as "gassers." He died three days later at a Louisville hospital of heat stroke, sepsis and multiple organ failure. His temperature reached at least I 07 degrees. The JUry deliberated for less than two hours, and Sunson hugged defense attorney Bnan Butler after the \'erdict was read. : ''That's \vhy they came pack quickly. because he was in nocent," said Butler. who characterized the prosecution us a "witch hunt." Stinson left without speaking to reporters. Players said he ordered the gassers as punishment for the lack of effort they showed at practice on a day where the temperature and heat index were both 94 degrees. Prosecutors relied on a series of Gilpin's teammates who testified that se\'eral teens became ill during the gassers, vomiting or bowing out of the running with ailments. Several medical and athletic training experts also testified for the prosecution. saying Gilpin suffered from exertional heat stroke, which led to his death. One witness. University of Connecticut associate professor Douglas Casa. said Gilpin could have been saved if he'd been immersed in ice water almost immediately after collapsing on the field. Gilpin's mother. Michele Crockett, was in the courtroom but declined to speak to an AP reporter. One of the prosecutors, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Leland Hulbert, said he and Gilpin's relatives were disappointed by the verdict. "I just ~poke with the family - I think it's very difficult for them,'' he said, acknowledging the challenge of obtaining a guilty verdict against a football coach. "I think they feel like I do. they're kind of disappointed." Hurlbert said he hopes the case prompts coaches to pay closer attention to their players and think more about giving ·water breaks during practices. Stinson's defense attorneys relied on Pleasure Ridge Park players who testified that. while they ran sprints, there were only a few more than normal. Three of Gilpin's classmates, along with his stepmother, testified that Gilpin complained of not feeling well throughout the day he collapsed. Defense medical experts told jurors that it appeared a com~nation of heat. the use of the dietary supplement creatine and attention deficit disorder dru!! Adderall. and being itl were the main factors that contributed to Gilpin's death, \vhich the) called an accident. The medical experts also said little could have been done to save Gilp in because his !Cmperature was so high for so long before .he made it to the hospital and began cooli ng down. Sheldon Berman. superintendent of Jcffer:-.on County Public Schools. said in a statement that Stinson. who has been working in a non-instructional position. is now cleared to return to teaching and eligible to appl) for a coaching position. Berman said administrators will meet with Stinson to "determine his future placemept."

The latter involved Sorenson on the 45th lap of the Chevy Rock & Roll400. "I made mis· takes as a driver that I normally cuss people for doing." said Stewart. NASCAR This Week's Monte Dutton gives his take: ·stewart has seemed off his game. with an average finish of 19.5 in the final four regularseason races. The two-time champion, along with 11 others. gets a fresh start in the Chase, and for the first time all year, he looks like he needs it." Johnson downplays his chances for another Cup title By Monte Dutton NASCAR This Week As much as he would like to play this down, Jimmie Johnson entersthe Chase for the Sprint C"Jp as the favorite. In part, this is because Johnson, whose 34th birthday is Sept. 17,·has won three races this year. In part, it is because he begms the Chase tied at 5,030 points with Tony Stewart. Mainly, however, the fa\'orite's role is Johnson's because he has won the past three championships, a feat matched only once (by Cale Yarborough, 1976-78) in NASCAR history. Another title would make Johnson the only winner of four consecutive championships. Johnson is the only driver to make every Chase field. Denny Hamlin has made it in every year of his career, which began in 2006, but Hamlin wasn't around when the format was first implemented in 2004. But Johnson professes to being uneasy. "Guy who have been kind of locked in (having clinched spots in the Chase several weeks ago), including Stewart, myself, Jeff <Gordon), we've been kind of running decent, but maybe not scoring the most points," said Johnson. "I think it's tough to really give this to anybody and really pick a favorite. "So we need to just buckle down, put in 10 good ones (races) and work really hard." Johnson hasn't won a race since the Allstate 400 at Indianapolis, seven races ago. In the races since, he has finished 13th, 12th, 33rd, eighth, 36th and 11th. Meanwhile, by means of comparison, the driver who raced his way into the Chase at Richmond, Brian Vickers, has accumulated fmishes of sixth, 11th, first, 12th, seventh and seventh in the same span.

N.C. 28053 Dear NASCAR This Week, ... This is my complaint. No Cup car drivers should be al· lowed to compete in the Nationwide Series. Period. They are taking (the place of) other drivers (who) need that (Nationwide) experience. When one comes up through the ranks and gets to the top, one either stays there or goes back down. One does not compete in both Nationwide and Cup races. They also take a job away from someone else. William Schoenbeck Stevens Point, Wis. Thanks for letting us know how you feel, ~ut in auto racing - and not just NASCAR, by the way there is a long tradition of drivers ' taking part, at least on occasion, In more than one series. We share your ' concerns, but NASCAR officials apparently believe the addition of Sprint Cup drivers adds excitement to the Nationwide Series.

"I'm optimistic and feel we have a very good chance." In 2006, Johnson Johnson won the title by 56 points over 2003 champion Matt Kenseth (who failed to make this Chase). He outpointed Hendrick Motor- sports teammate (and four-time champ) Gordon by 77. Last year Johnson's margin was 69 over Carl Edwards. Almost everyone considers Johnson the man to beat, with the possible exception of Johnson himself. c _;::::r.,!._J J -.;]..P.:::, ) Charlotte not the only racing hall on the block The NASCAR Hall of Fame being constructed in Charlotte isn't the only one dedicated to the sport's llistory.
