like it’s going to be the best day of my life because you never know when it’s going to end, and I learned that really personally. I’m going to carry that with me the rest ofmy life.”


Playing is a tribute Following their father’s funer-


al, the three college football play-


ers (Paul, the second youngest, is a freshman at Indiana) contem- plated sitting out the season to be with their mother and little brother. But Janet insisted they return to their respective cam- puses and teams. “At first, it was really frustrat-


ing because, first of all, I was out of shape,” Colter said. “I hadn’t worked out in two weeks. I was behind on my assignments. I didn’t know what I was doing out


there. And I was just really angry. I was not mentally doing very well. It really was great to have football as a way for me to get away from everything.” Now Colter, whom family membersbelieve will follow in his father’s footsteps and become in- volved in the domestic commer- cial fishing industry, writes his father’s initials on his wrist be- fore each practice and game. When he saw his mother in the


stands before the Richmond game, he pointed to her and then pointed to the sky. On that fourth-quarter play


when he caught the ball, went airborne and came up just shy of the goal line, Colter said every- thing happened so quickly he didn’t know where he was when he landed. When he stood up and saw he was in the end zone, he “just assumed the best.” The play was reviewed, and the call was

upheld: no touchdown. “I was hoping that it was, in-


deed, a touchdown,” Virginia CoachMikeLondonsaid. “But the thing is, when he got up and you look at him—and this is the type of player that he is—he looked to celebrate with his teammates. . . . Colter will get his chance to get in the end zone. We’ll make sure that happens for him.”


A plan, altered When the 2010 football sched-

attending the Virginia-USCgame, while Janet would go with the rest of the group to see Stanford- UCLA. Dana Tindall and her 16- year-old son, Corey, were sup- posed to be at one of those two games.Buttheywereonboardthe same plane as Bill when it crashed into a remote Alaskan hillside. “Some people are just not able

Janet might be inclined to reach for her cellphone and pull up her husband’s number. She might even start typing out a text. It’s what she’s always done. “He really was a very special

Most in U.S. not eating enough vegetables


BY MIKE STOBBE Most Americans still don’t eat


vegetables often enough, and their fruit consumption has actu- ally dropped a little, according to a new government report re- leased Thursday. The Centers for Disease Con-


trol and Prevention found that last year about one-third of U.S. adults consumed fruit or fruit juice at least twice a day. That’s down slightly frommore than 34 percent in 2000. Only about 26 percent ate


vegetables three or more times a day, the same as in 2000. The statistics come from a national telephone survey of hundreds of thousands of Americans. California ate the most fruit


and Tennessee was best with vegetables. Oklahoma was at the bottomfor fruit and SouthDako- ta had the lowest vegetable con- sumption. The report did not ask people


which fruits and vegetables they ate the most. But a CDC study published last year concluded that orange juice is the top source of fruit among U.S. adults and adolescents and potatoes are the favorite vegetable. Health officials have been


trying to promote fruits and vegetables — especially leafy greens — as healthy alternatives to salty, fatty and sugary foods. The goal is to curb the nation’s obesity problem and reduce dia- betes, heart disease and other maladies tied to bad diets. — Associated Press
