If you need a tip on the Powerball numbers, you might want to ask Martha Doerner.
When we asked Doerner, secretary of the Wilmington Kennel Club, for a winner at Westminster she told us to keep an eye on an English springer spaniel with a local handler. Yep, that was James and handler Kellie Fitzgerald of Bear who won the whole thing Tuesday night in New York. Spot on, Martha!
The victory makes Fitzgerald only the third female handler with multiple Best in Show wins at Westminster. Anne Rogers Clark, who lived in Greenwood for years and died Dec. 20 at a friend's home in Wilmington, won Westminster three times. Michelle Ostermiller won back-to-back titles in 2004 and 2005
Fitzgerald and James made the rounds of the morning talk shows, and James had the traditional plate of chopped sirloin at lunchtime at Sardi's. The two are expected back in Bear this week before James starts his retirement with his owners in Virginia.
And an early reminder: If you want to see what a dog show looks like in person, reserve April 27-28. Those are the dates for the Wilmington Kennel Club's dog show at Lums Pond State Park.
