. Mourning out for year with kidney ailment
By Mark Long
The Associated Press
MIAMI — A common but seri
ous kidney ailment will keep
Alonzo Mourning sidelined for the
entire season, depriving the Miami
Heat of their biggest star and the
key to their quest for an NBA title.
Doctors said Monday that the ill
ness, first spotted just after Mourn
ing helped the U.S. team to the
basketball gold medal earlier this
month, was focal glomerulosclero
sis, which leads to kidney failure
in about half the cases.
They said there were no imme
diate plans for a kidney transplant
or dialysis.
“I feel great right now. We’ve
pretty much got a hold on it, the
whole situation right now,”
Mourning said at a news confer
ence in which he discussed his ail
ment publicly for the first time.
“The main objective is to get me
healthy so I can live my life nor
mally, so I can see my babies grow
up, and so I can enjoy my family.
“And, at the same time, possibly
do the things that I know and love
— and that’s the game of basket
ball. But the key right now is to get
me healthy.”
Pat Riley, the Heat coach who
spent the offseason signing free
agents and redesigning the team to
complement Mourning’s talents,
said his star center was following
the proper course.
‘‘Alonzo Mourning will not be
playing professional basketball
this season, and we’re totally con
vinced that the only thing that
should be on his mind is getting
healthy,” Riley said.
I feel great right now...
The main objective is to
get me healthy so I can live
my life normally.
Alonzo Mourning
Miami Heat
The 30-year-old center made his
first public appearance since Oct.
3, when he attended the team’s
media day. Training camp began
without him the following day,
and he has not practiced because
of his condition, which was dis
covered during a routine physical
two weeks ago.
Sean Elliott, who had a kidney
transplant last year and is back
playing for the San Antonio Spurs,
has spoken with Mourning.
“There’s a lot of questions that
he had, basically,” Elliott said. “I
know how he feels right now as far
as fatigue-wise. When I first went
to the doctor, I felt terrible. I can
sympathize with him.”

Horoscope by Linda C. Black
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 17). You've got
the advantage this year, so use it. Talk your way
into or out of anything in October. Provide for a
moody person to gain status and a raise in No
vember. Something you never expected brings
a lucky break in December. Let a fix-it person
tune you up in February. Money you've saved
comes in handy in May. Travel farther than you
have ever gone before in June. Know where the
money is in July and let an upset motivate you
in September.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10
is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)—Today isa7 —
You and a close friend or relative have a lot to
talk about. Don't let it happen on company time,
however. A co-worker's liable to snitch even if
the boss isn't around. Later should be excellent
for partying, so all's not lost.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6
— Bring in more money, rather than spend it.
Something a loved one's been nagging you
about is your motivation. A tedious chore could
be your means to the end. If it's something you
love doing, so much the better!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8
— A mess at home could get you off on the
wrong foot. As the day goes on, your luck im
proves. Remember that exotic restaurant you've
been thinking about visiting? Well, somebody
else would love to go there, too. Voila! Another
beautiful encounter!
CANCER (June 22-July 22) — Today is an 8
— If you can't get to your errands first thing,
don't worry; you will eventually. Find the per
fect thing for dinner, too. A private conversation
by candlelight could lead to forever romance.
All it takes is planning, and you're great at that.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5 — A
friend’s risky scheme isn't ready. You can help
by pointing out an obvious problem. Then, help
find the answer. A book you've been reading or
a skill you've been learning could give you the
clue. Offer a Plan B that will work.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7 —
A quiz is likely, so you'd better know what
you're doing. Luckily, you do. Right? Well,
now that you've been tipped off, do some re
search and find out. If you get all the answers
right, you could get a bonus.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct 22)—Today is a 7—A
minor mishap pertaining to travel is possible,
but you'll handle it well. Just steer around it.
You're agile, both mentally and physically. Pay
attention to where you're going, however, and
wear your safety belt.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7
— People are talking in private, and you should
find out what they're saying. Ask your favorite
informants. They'll sing like birds for a few
crumbs. If your informants are kids or men,
cookies work well. If women, chocolate.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today
is a 6 —Your competition, partner or mate has
a slight advantage. Well, OK, a big one. Pick
the battles you can win and save your energy.
Relax, chill out and maybe even hide out.
Whatever works.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is
an 8 — Things are running more smoothly
now. Is that due to your intervention? If so, you
can bet someone notices. You could profit nice
ly for your efforts. Your stock is going up.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)—Today is an 8
— Are you worried that you can't afford a gift
you'd like to buy? Does your sweetheart or
child want something that you'd have to pay
dearly for? Don't say no yet. Look around.
Maybe something would be even better, a little
farther away.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)—Today is a 7 —
Do you want something that your house mate
keeps vetoing for your house? No doesn't mean
never, it just means not now. Try again. You can
find something everybody can live with if you
keep looking — together would be nice.
