A speeding motorist was caught by radar from a police helicopter in the sky. An officer pulled him over and began to issue a traffic ticket.

“How did you know I was speeding?” the frustrated driver asked. The police officer pointed somberly towards

the sky. “You mean,” asked the motorist, “that even He is against me?”

What happens to the miracle winner of the Daytona 500 ... a year later?

Trevor Bayne, only 20 at the time, won NASCAR's most pres-tigious race in only his second try at the Sprint Cup level. His year had some rather dramatic ups and

downs. Bayne, from Knoxville, Tenn., missed a portion of the schedule while dealing with a mysterious illness that required treatment at the Mayo Clinic. He then won his first Nation-wide Series race at Texas Motor Speedway in November.

The Cinderella story of Daytona didn't change much in the long run. The Wood Brothers hoped to use the victory to gain sponsorship sufficient to compete in the full Cup schedule. That never materialized. Neither did a full-time Cup ride for Bayne this year. He will again compete for the Nationwide Series title while running a limited Cup sched-ule in the Woods' No. 21 Ford, which receives support from Roush Fenway Racing.

Bayne's performance last year at Daytona was impressive throughout the month of February. Though few expected him to win the 500, most thought he was a driver to watch, based on his performances in other races and practice sessions leading up to NASCAR's premier race. This year conditions have changed, though.

"I don't have a lot of experience with 'pack drafting,' so for me it's something totally new again, just like last year coming into the two-car (bump-drafting) deal," Bayne said. "It was kind of fresh, a totally different mindset. If that's how it's going to be, you just think for yourself.

"I think it can be fun, but it's definitely a lot more nerve-wracking than the two-car draft. With the two-car draft, you can obviously just sit back a little bit more and wait it out and then go when you need to and ... it's a little bit easier to make passes."

In some ways, Bayne is still getting adjusted to being

Bayne Still Adjusting to Daytona 500 Prestigethe Daytona 500 winner.

"I'm kind of in the same mindset that I was last year," he said. "Last year I came in thinking there's no way we can win this, and now I'm coming back saying there's no way we can win two in a row, but then the Wood Broth-ers keep showing up with great race cars and they keep showing up with the guys that can do it and that can win, and I think that's what's so important."

Blood Pressure: Both Numbers Are Important

PuzzleAnswers

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I’ve always heard that at older ages, it doesn’t matter how high the first number of a blood pressure reading is; it’s bound to rise with age. My blood pressure is 185/70, and my doctor wants me to go on blood pressure medicine. My second number is fine. Why is he making a fuss? I am 67. I don’t like taking drugs. -- W.S.

ANSWER: You have heard wrong. Both numbers of a blood pressure reading are significant. If either is higher than normal, it indicates high blood pressure. It is true that systolic pressure, the first number, rises with age. And it is true that the second number, diastolic pres-sure, tends to plateau after age 50. However, a higher-than-normal systolic or diastolic pressure constitutes hypertension, high blood pressure.

The first number is the pressure imparted to blood when the heart pumps it into the aorta. It takes a great deal of pressure to circulate blood through all the body arteries. The second number is the pressure in the heart as it fills with blood. Normal pressure is less than 120/80. High blood pressure is 140/90 and above. Numbers between those two pressures are called prehypertension, a short stop lower than actual high blood pressure.

You have high blood pressure, hypertension. You doctor made a fuss because uncontrolled high blood pressure causes artery hardening, leads to strokes and heart attacks, puts the kidneys out of action, contributes to congestive heart failure and promotes dementia. Still think your pressure is OK?

If you are overweight, weight loss brings pressure down. So does shunning salt. It’s not the saltshaker on the table that pushes people over the recommended daily limits (1,500 mg of sodium), but it is commercial foods. Become a reader of the sodium content of the foods you buy. Potassium lowers blood pressure. Potas-sium-rich foods are baked potatoes, bananas, orange juice, peas, beans, milk, spinach, squash, watermelon, figs and cantaloupe.

Be as physically active as your doctor allows.If your pressure doesn’t fall, then you have to resort

to medicines. Eight large drug families, yielding more than 57 different medicines, give you a wide choice to bring your pressure down without side effects.

The booklet on high blood pressure will convince you of the importance of blood pressure control. To order a copy, write: Dr. Donohue -- No. 104W, Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475. Enclose a check or money order for $4.75 U.S./$6 Canada with the recipient’s printed name and address. Allow four weeks for delivery.

• • •Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual let-

ters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

An Army reservist in Washington, D.C., called a help line when he was depressed because he hadn’t slept for days. When he dialed the number, he thought he was calling a support hotline for veterans. He wasn’t suicidal, but yes, he did have some firearms, and yes, he was a veteran. Eventu-ally he hung up and went to bed.

Imagine his dismay when the police and SWAT showed up (setting off his PTSD big-time). They hauled him off to a VA hospital, where he stayed voluntarily for three days. While he was gone they trashed his place, without a warrant, and took his guns (which were all locked up and separated from the ammo). They took his dog and then, on a hunt for explosives, they further trashed his place, still without a warrant. Once the reservist was released, he was arrested and thrown in jail for a couple weeks for reasons that still aren’t clear. When Mat-

Nightmare Was Real

thew Corrigan finally returned home 16 days later, he found his front door unlocked, his oven on and his tropical fish dead.

I’m guessing that the number he called was 1-800-273-8255. It’s an easy mistake to make, thinking that it’s a number for veteran assistance. On Google, that number is listed as Veterans Crisis Line. However, it’s also the listing for Na-tional Suicide Prevention Lifeline, SAVE, Crisis Hotlines Suicide Prevention and SuicideHotline, among others. The Department of Veterans Affairs even lists it as the number to call for “Where to Get Help for PTSD.”

In other words, it’s a one-size-fits-all number -- and maybe not one you want to call unless it’s serious.

Here’s a better bet: When you’re getting treat-ment, whether individually or in a group, ask for phone numbers you can call when the going gets rough.
