Washburn 704-358 5007 mwashburncharlotteobservercom talk actions about prosthetic leg linger with Kelly Bruno By Theoden Janes Pop Culture Writer UNC Chapel Hill med student Kelly Bruno who lost her leg as an infant due to a birth defect figured going into that other contestants might view her as a liability in physical competitions because of her prosthetic leg But she said she could never have imagined it would inspire such vitriol The day after being eliminated from the reality show (and months after shooting took place in Nicaragua) the 26-year-old Durham resident is still scratching her head over how she was repeatedly verbally attacked by NaOnka Mixon an LA phys-cd teacher Some of Mixon's offenses: She shoved Bruno to the her prosthesis just was religious about it Keeping the skin dry and clean (was important) because as soon as you get any sort of abrasion on the leg any kind of skin breakdown really hard to But it was nothing compared to the emotional roller coaster of which is now in its 21st season on CBS and whose famous logo prominently displays the words and it was obviously very difficult but I could handle that part of Bruno says was that constant emotional strain of strategizing and wondering what people are thinking and out to get you and obviously my interaction with Nay was quite troubling you have any support out there on the tribe with people but also against them and so you really feel like you can open up to anyone very lonely in that Theoden Janes tjanescharlotteobserver com ground in retrieving a game clue during an early episode later Mixon said to a camera crew I'll push you so hard that damn leg will fly In a subsequent episode Mixon suggested that she wanted to toss artificial limb into the fire hard to believe that someone can be so hatcfiil towards anyone really especially for no better reason than because I had one says Bruno who lasted 15 days (out of 39) before becoming the sixth of 20 contestants voted out like to think that part of her strategy part of just creating drama part of getting in my head But she was way too emotional and persistent in bringing me down so I think a good part of it was she actually is that way and she actually is just an angry Bruno an accomplished tnathlete who worked as a personal trainer in the Triangle area after graduating from Duke in 2006 said it was a challenge to keep her leg clean

radio back in the tween religions notably Catholics and Protestants In 1960 for example Catholics voted overwhelmingly for John Kennedy one of then-own for president By 2004 another Massachusetts Catholic running for president (John Kerry) split the overall Catholic vote with an evangelical (George Bush) and lost handily among Catholics who frequently attend church A reason: Their stands on abortion Granted Christ Covenant also rejected a Catholic dad a decade ago who wanted to coach one of then- church teams And true evangelicals are in no hurry to embrace Muslims who can be just as conservative on social issues But maybe the reason the story of the Stokes family and Christ Covenant went national I was even interviewed by a Salt Lake City radio station is that Mormons and evangelicals seem so alike in so many ways that think they could get along And maybe they will in time Politics often leads to the forging of alliances Romney is likely to run again in 2012 ditto ex-Baptist minister Mike Huckabee a favorite with white evangelicals If one of them wins the nomination maybe ask the other one to join the ticket Or maybe not But given how much change seen in recent decades I help wondering whether evangelicals and Mormons will find a way to agree to disagree on the-' ology Then they might join forces on those issues that "have divided the country but have already united most other religious conservatives Tim Funk 704-358-5703 tfunkfficharlotteobserver com Saturday Best Bets Saturday Talk Shows YOUR HOMETOWN JEWELED HAS YOUR CLASS RING We rt ktiM to
