By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKALB – While Joseph Glidden may have made barbed wire a signature patent for DeKalb, he also helped the area prosper by allowing a railroad to pass through. In 1853, Glidden allowed the Galena and Chicago Union railroad to have the right of way through his nearly 800acre property, said Marcia Wilson, executive director of the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center. The railroad tracks then became an important development for the burgeoning city. “If there was a small settlement or community that had started and the railroad ended up coming up a couple of miles away, then that town died out and another town grew up around the railroad,” Wilson said. “Glidden knew the importance.” As part of the 200th anniversary of Glidden’s birth, the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center is holding a series of programs on the railroads in the DeKalb and greater Illinois area. The center displayed a

DeKalb County roller derby team has irst bout against Aurora
The ASSOCIATED PRESS
George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer accused of murdering Trayvon Martin, was found not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter by a jury in Sanford, Fla.
WASHINGTON – The Justice Department said Sunday it is looking into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors will file criminal civil rights charges now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case. The department opened an investigation into Martin’s death last year but stepped aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed. In a statement, the Justice Department said the criminal section of its civil rights division, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Middle District of Florida are continuing to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal probe, in addition to the evidence and testimony from the state trial. “Experienced federal

Father Jim Parker is the new pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church in DeKalb.
8 FACE TIME WITH ...
James Parker DeKALB – Father James Parker became the new pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church in DeKalb on July 1. He replaced Father Ken Anderson, who was the pastor for about 10 years. Parker, who was born in Evergreen Park and raised in Orland Park, attended the University of St. Francis in Joliet and graduated with a business degree in 1991. During that time, he was working for a Catholic TV station. He decided to become a pastor in 1995, when he thought he’d at least give seminary school a shot. He then got his master’s degree in Divinity from Mount St. Mary’s University’s seminary in 1998 and was ordained in 2003. He
became a pastor at St. Mary Roman Catholic Church in East Dubuque and worked there before coming to DeKalb. Daily Chronicle reporter Felix Sarver recently spoke with Parker about his past experiences and his plans as the new pastor for St. Mary Catholic Church.
Sarver: How did you like your past experience of being a pastor at St. Mary’s in East Dubuque? Parker: I love being a priest, and I have no doubt God created me to be one. I thank God every day that I am able to do mass and live the life of a priest.
Sarver: What do you think of St. Mary Catholic Church thus far? Parker: I’ve only been
here a week. I’ve gone through the files, and I’ve met with the teachers. It’s a bigger parish than before. A bigger school than before. The staff is bigger. Things are just a little big bigger, I guess? You’ll have to ask me a month or so from now ... the primary task of a priest is to live in union with Christ and lead people to a union with Christ ... in that sense, all parishes are the same.
Sarver: Is there anything striking to you about the church? Parker: The church is beautiful. The crucifix, the stained glass windows and tabernacle are beautiful.
Sarver: What did you think of Father Ken Anderson before he left?
Parker: He gave me a tour of the church and area here. He seemed like a wonderful priest with a kind heart and, like all priests, trying to do the best he can. Sarver: What do you want to accomplish as the new pastor of St. Mary Catholic Church? Parker: My primary goal is to lead people to have a deeper Eucharistic devotion and a love for the mother of God. Those were my two primary goals in East Dubuque and that’s my goals here ... underneath you have all these other things that help us reach those goals. ... I want to be a shepherd for Christ and urge people to pray for me as the new pastor. I’ve been praying ever since I got the call.

8BRIEF 5-figure Ohio water bills blamed on new software GIRARD, Ohio – A spate of five-figure water bills in an Ohio city is being blamed on new software, but a pastor jokes his church’s $93,000 bill was from using too much holy water. The July bill sent to St. Rose Catholic Church in Girard near Youngstown was one of many erroneous statements sent to the city’s water customers. The (Youngstown) Vindicator reported that the Tri-Changes hair salon got a $12,000 bill. Girard public services director Jerry Lambert said the city is replacing manual-read meters with automatic readers. He said the errors are a result of software problems during the changeover.

Biking with Beanzie continues to entertain By FELIX SARVER
Several bike riders leave the DeKalb High School on Sunday for the Biking With Beanzie event. Biking With Beanzie is hosted by the Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club and is meant to promote fitness and DeKalb-area bike paths.
fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Bike riders who’ve traveled the routes of Biking With Beanzie expect to see windmills, cornfields and sometimes roadkill fashioned as directional signs. It’s been a running joke for the people who know of Biking With Beanzie and one of the few things that make the 15th annual bike riding event stand out, said Bill Finucane, Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club member and DeKalb second ward alderman. “It helps people remember us,” Finucane said. Several years ago one of the volunteers for the event decided on a whim to mark a directional sign over roadkill, he said. The Kishwaukee Kiwanis Club, which hosts the bike riding event, engage participants with other kinds of humorous signs. The club also engages riders with food. For Sunday’s event, local businesses such as Hy-Vee, Shnucks and others were invited to set up shop. “Everything we’re trying to do
Felix Sarver – fsarver@ shawmedia.com
is just making it a DeKalb-friendly event one way or another,” Finucane said. The first Biking With Beanzie event drew 110 riders, but it has grown with almost 700 riders last year, he said. Many of those riders tend to come
Clergy call for calm after Zimmerman murder trial verdict By TAMMY WEBBER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Protesters and clergy in Chicago said Sunday that the acquittal in George Zimmerman’s murder trial was symbolic of lingering racism in the United States and larger injustices in the black community. About 200 people turned out for a noisy but peaceful rally and march in downtown Chicago to protest a Florida jury’s decision to clear Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Meanwhile, the city’s black clergy called for calm, although a police spokesman said there were no reports of violence after Saturday evening’s verdict. “I thought that the verdict was unbelievable, I wasn’t expecting it,” said Naazima Muhammed, 59. “The whole world was disappointed because, if you have a gun, how do you fear for your life? [Martin] was only a kid.” Zimmerman claimed he was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed the teen, who was returning home from the store in February 2012. Martin’s death unleashed debate across the U.S. over racial profiling, self-defense and justice. Maya Miller, 73, said the case reminds her of the 1955 slaying of Emmitt Till, a 14-year-old Chicago boy who
was murdered by a group of white men while visiting Mississippi. Till’s death galvanized the civil rights movement. “Fifty-eight years and nothing’s changed,” Miller said, pausing to join a chant to “Justice for Trayvon, not one more.” Clergy encouraged residents to remain peaceful, with the Rev. Jesse Jackson saying any violence would shift the sympathy from Martin to Zimmerman. He said the decision “is a pattern involving young African- American men that is too often repeating itself. In my opinion, the American legal system has once again failed justice.” “I hope that no one will compound our pain with street justice. It will do damage to the innocent blood and legacy of Trayvon Martin,” Jackson said. “The struggle for fairness and justice is not over. Justice will come to those who continue to struggle for it.” Pastor Ira Acree of Greater St. John Bible Church, on Chicago’s West Side, said violence would only hurt Chicago neighborhoods already devastated by dozens of shooting deaths this year. “While we cannot control the verdict ... we can control our streets and communities,” Acree said. “We can change things. Change comes from within and that change must start with us.”
Lawmakers want to hear from former Metra CEO By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Illinois lawmakers demanding an explanation for a lucrative severance deal given to Metra’s former executive director want the public rail agency to allow him to speak freely and publicly about allegations that he was pushed out for resisting high-level political clout in personnel and contract decisions. The Chicago metropolitan transit agency is getting pressure to let Alex Clifford out of the buyout’s confidentiality clause, which he says is being used to muzzle him, after the public release of a confidential memo he wrote that details allegations involving House Speaker Michael Madigan, one of Illinois’ most powerful politicians. What began less than a week ago as an inquiry into whether the June 21 severance deal was a waste of taxpayer money has morphed into a potentially larger question: Whether a publicly funded agency still recovering from past scandal is engaged
in improper dealings with politicians seeking favors. “I believe that Metra ought to waive its confidentiality clause now,” said state Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat who’s taking part in the House Mass Transit Committee hearings. “We need to hear from Mr. Clifford as well because we need to get to the bottom of this and the taxpayers have a right to know.” Clifford said in an email to The Associated Press over the weekend that he hoped to know early in the week whether Metra would allow him to appear before the committee or at a hearing scheduled by the Regional Transportation Authority. The House committee heard from several Metra board members and their outside legal counsel Thursday. But they were angered that officials did not reveal the full scope of Clifford’s allegations, which only became clear later when the memo Clifford wrote to the Metra board April 3 – before his dismissal – was released late Friday at the committee’s request. Several passages were blacked out.
from outside of DeKalb County. Last year, 29 percent of the participants were from the county, Finucane said. The other riders come to participate and support the local businesses. “It’s a good event for the community and it’s not just raising money
for us to use,” Finucane said. “It’s putting money in the economy too.” Leland resident Nick Little and his wife, Stacia, have participated in the event for several years. Nick Little managed to bike his “century” mile last year. “It’s just nice rolling terrain with

good scenery like the [windmills],” Nick Little said. The profits from the event support the bike paths as part of the Kishwaukee Bike Pathway Projects. They also support several charitable organizations the club typically supports, such as Hope Haven and the Children’s Learning Center. To help Biking With Beanzie become more popular with families and children, the event began a community and family ride with shorter paths. “It’s a nice kind of community feeling,” Little said of the bike riding event. “A lot of people look at cyclists as kind of snobbish, but to be honest most cyclists that you encounter are really nice.”

Rich DeMink (right) observes the 1900s model steam HO train he operates for the railroad presentation Sunday at the Joseph F. Glidden Homestead and Historical Center. The presentation commemorates Joseph Glidden’s decision to allow a railroad to pass through his property in the DeKalb area during the early 1850s.
Next presentation July 28 will feature railroad music • GLIDDEN Continued from page A1 model steam HO train from the early 20th century, along with educational videos and appearances from railroad enthusiasts. “I think there are a lot of railroad buffs of all ages in the area,” Wilson said. The railroad became a way for farmers to send their crops and merchandise to Chicago, Wilson said. Soon, the railroad became a customer of Glidden by using barbed wire for fencing. The fencing would mainly be used to block wandering livestock. “There was a real problem with animals roaming the tracks,” Wilson said. One enthusiast who was at the event Sunday was Rich DeMink from Downers Grove. DeMink is the husband of Sarah Glidden DeMink, who is the great-grandniece of Joseph Glidden. DeMink has
worked in the railroad industry for nearly 30 years and retired in 2001 after working for Amtrak. The railroad that Glidden allowed to pass through his property was the first railroad west of Chicago, DeMink said. As far as DeMink knew, Glidden donated the land. The railroad industry has changed a lot since the late 19th century, DeMink said. The carrying capacity of trains have increased and trains can travel at 90 mph instead of 12 mph. The railroad industry now accounts for about 15 percent of interstate traffic, he said. “It’s like going from a World War I biplane to a Boeing 777,” he said. For the next presentation July 28, railroad music from the band Mike and the 3Ds will be played from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. A video on the founding of the railroad also will be shown at 1 and 2:30 p.m.

“The Justice Department would face signiicant challenges in bringing a federal civil rights case against Mr. Zimmerman.” Alan Vinegrad Former U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York tory of using federal civil rights law in an effort to convict defendants who have previously been acquitted in related state cases. On Sunday, NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous started a petition calling for the Justice Department to open a
civil rights case against Zimmerman for the shooting death of 17-year-old Martin, but experience has shown it’s almost never easy getting convictions in such prosecutions. “The Justice Department would face significant challenges in bringing a federal civil rights case against Mr. Zimmerman,” said Alan Vinegrad, the former U.S. Attorney in the Eastern District of New York. “There are several factual and legal hurdles that federal prosecutors would have to overcome: They’d have to show not only that the attack was unjustified, but that Mr. Zimmerman attacked Mr. Martin because of his race and because he was using a public facility, the street.”
WASHINGTON – Proposed changes to Senate rules would either ease the way for President Barack Obama to assemble his second-term team or permanently threaten the body’s deliberative style, the chamber’s top Democratic and Republican lawmaker said Sunday. Democratic Leader Harry Reid and Republican Leader Mitch McConnell once again strongly disagreed during separate television segments on the eve of a rare closeddoor summit that could reduce the Senate’s reputation as deliberative to the point of inaction. Reid and McConnell – along with their rankand-file members – have been trading barbs over just what the proposed changes would be, both for Obama’s current slate of nominees
who are awaiting confirmation and for future senators who prize their ability to delay action. Democrats, who are the majority in the Senate, are pushing to erode the rights of minority Republicans to block confirmation of Obama’s picks for posts on a labor rights board and a consumer protection bureau. Republicans previously stalled confirmation votes for Obama’s pick for labor secretary and chiefs of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Export-Import Bank, but last week GOP lawmakers stepped aside and said they would allow those nominees to move forward. Reid said the changes were not about the appointment of judges or passing legislation. “This is allowing the people of America to have a president who can have his team,” he said.
McConnell called Democrats’ proposed changes contrary to Senate tradition, which typically requires 60 votes to end debate and move forward on nominations or legislation. “I hope that we’ll come to our senses and not change the core of the Senate. We’ve never changed the rules of the Senate by breaking the rules of the Senate,” McConnell said. All 100 senators – but not reporters or the public – have been invited to a meeting tonight to seek a compromise that a handful of lawmakers are now exploring. “We need to start talking to each other instead of at each other,” McConnell said. It’s not clear a conversation would produce any agreement. Reid calls the changes minor and narrow. McConnell calls them unprecedented and overbroad.
The National Transportation Safety Board also has apologized, saying a summer intern erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew. An Asiana statement said it’s mulling legal measures against both KTVU-TV and the NTSB because the report “badly damaged” the reputation of the airline and its pilots. Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.

Betties looking for new venue in either Sycamore or DeKalb • DERBY Continued from page A1 captain also known as Ruby Bruiz-Her. Without the help of the skaters on the team, the bout would not have been possible, she said. “I think it’s amazing we skated,” Drott said. “We made it out alive, and we had an amazing time.” During the bout, five players from each team raced around the track to help their one jammer score points and block the other teams’ jammer. The jammers try to fight their way through each team’s blockers through several laps and score points each time they do. While the Barbed Wire Betties managed to tie with the Aurora 88s at one point in the bout, they eventually lost with a score of 128-94. But the score didn’t matter for the team. “It feels like we got out there and played our hearts out,” Drott said Even though the team
didn’t win, they did meet some goals they initially set for themselves for the bout. Holly Both, president of the derby’s league, said the team wanted to have a lead jammer in their first jam, which is a two-minute period in the bout. For Both, she managed to keep her focus during the bout and not let herself become overwhelmed by everything that was happening. It was something she had struggled with before. “You just slow down and say ‘Okay, this is the position I need to be in and I need to block,’ ” Both said. In order to train for the bout, the team practiced three times a week and two hours each session. They built their endurance to make sure they could skate the whole bout and perfected their skating techniques. Kness heads the training committee and helped develop the fresh meat program that intensively trains newcomers for 12 weeks. Joining the team was a way of staying in shape and connecting with others in the
team, Drott said. She joined the team in November and hadn’t skated in 10 years. The support from the team is amazing, she said. “The time that we give to each, it kind of touches the heart,” Drott said. As the Barbed Wire Betties eagerly await their next bout, they also are looking for a new venue in either Sycamore or DeKalb that can house more spectators. Their next fresh meat programs for newcomers will be July 21 and in November.

Conservatives need leaders
U.S. right to ‘lead from behind’ on Egypt “Leading from behind” would seem the right place for America to be in the complex crisis engulfing Egypt. But critics want President Obama up front, telling the Egyptians what’s what. Sen. John McCain complains on a Sunday talk show that Egypt’s second coup in 2½ years is “a strong indicator of the lack of American leadership, and influence, since we urged the military not to do that.” The Arizona Republican goes on to insist that the leadership deficit is wrecking the whole Mideast. Citing the troubles in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Afghanistan, McCain says, “When American doesn’t lead, bad things happen.” Now, can we seriously believe that a call from the president, even a stern call, would stop the whirlwind of conflict in Egypt? Sure we could threaten the $1.5 billion we give them in annual aid, but the new people in charge say they intend to reset the democracy and are friendlier to the United States. That’s not going to happen. In Egypt we saw a democratically elected president deposed for undemocratic behavior (and incompetent governing). A tough call for us, but must the United States publicly pick sides in a struggle that (a) we cannot control and (b) U.S. participation only complicates? Naturally, both sides blame America, insisting that U.S. Ambassador Anne Patterson is plotting with their foes. The following quotes from The New York
VIEWS Froma Harrop Times show our dilemma: Mona Mohammed, a bank clerk supporting the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi: “The ambassador is part of a conspiracy against Egypt and its people.” Mohammed Amr-All, a professor at a pro-Morsi demonstration: “The ambassador meets with the opposition and supports them.” Back in the United States, Patterson’s to blame, as well. Conservative David Brooks writes: “She tried to build relationships with whoever is in power. This created the appearance that she is subservient to the Brotherhood. It alienated the Egyptian masses.” Of course, building relationships with whoever is in power is an ambassador’s job, and Morsi was elected. And what about the pro-Muslim Brotherhood masses now protesting the Morsi ouster? Clearly, there are masses for every viewpoint. Writing in The New Republic, Marc Tracy offers an “appropriate liberal response.” That would be “making clear that we value democracy,” while using the tools of diplomacy “to put ourselves and our allies in more certain positions when democracy, as it inevitably does, winds up giving us unwelcome surprises.”
You wonder what “more certain positions” would be in the case of Egypt’s unfolding chaos. Perhaps they don’t exist -or put another way, the position we should have taken will be revealed by history, long after the dust settles on the tragic convulsions in Egypt. The European Union is quietly talking to all sides, as is the Obama administration. But Obama’s cautionary approach is not the American way, says a punditry frustrated that we aren’t using our power to do whatever. Perhaps it should be in certain disordered situations, which describes almost every Mideast crisis. To do otherwise means choosing from equally unattractive options and taking the inevitable blowback from the side we don’t seem to be supporting -- which, as we see in Egypt, tends to be both sides. More McCain: “Morsi was a terrible president. Their economy is in terrible shape thanks to their policies. But the fact is, the United States should not be supporting this coup.” The fact is, we are not supporting the coup. As Obama told a National Security Council meeting over the weekend, “The United States is not aligned with, and does not support, any particular Egyptian political party or group.” Lack of leadership? No, the only sensible response at this time.

Let’s stop protecting unsafe homes from wildfires By MICHAEL KODAS Three months ago, I refreshed my firefighting skills in a class created by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group. One new lesson explained what to do if I encountered a meth lab. Another went over how to identify hazardous waste and chemicals if I happened to stumble upon an illegal dump. I could only shake my head. The last time I worked on a fire line such hazards were far from my mind. But these are the least of the changes complicating the job for today’s firefighters, who suffered the worst U.S. wildfire disaster in 80 years this month, when 19 died in Yarnell, Ariz. When I last trained to fight wildfires, climate change was far from most firefighters’ minds. Today, it’s hard to find a veteran firefighter who hasn’t seen firsthand the warming and drying of the nation’s forests and how that’s increasing the intensity and frequency of fires. The first fire I covered last year in my home state of Colorado was in the waning days of winter, when the forest is normally covered in snow. “We’re seeing fire behaviors we’ve never seen before,” an incident commander told me. Officials have since repeated that phrase like a mantra. I heard it again that March at a prescribed burn, a fire intentionally set by the Colorado State Forest Service to improve the forest’s health. It spread into an adjacent neighborhood and destroyed 23 homes, killing three residents. I heard the phrase later at fires outside Fort Collins and Colorado Springs that de-
stroyed more than 600 homes. I heard it again last fall at a fire in Rocky Mountain National Park that burned through the winter. Colorado has broken its “most destructive fire” record four times in the last four years. By many measures Arizona, where the Granite Mountain Hotshots died, has it even worse. According to research by Climate Central, Arizona is warming faster than any other state in the U.S., with temperatures increasing by 0.72 degrees a decade since the 1970s. That warming has brought with it more frequent, severe and long-lasting droughts. The warming and drying of the Southwest aren’t the only reasons fires now burn bigger, faster and hotter. Historically every few decades wildfires consumed the dead wood and grass, small trees and brush crowding the forest. During the past century, land managers have successfully put out more than 98 percent of the fires in Arizona forests, leaving natural fuel that would have otherwise burned away. The greatest challenge to firefighters may not be the trees or the tinder, which have always been there, but the people. Last year I worked on a project to analyze development patterns in the “wildland urban interface,” where homes and human development abut flammable landscapes. In Colorado, we found that from 2000 to 2010, more than 100,000 people moved into the state’s “red zone,” land bordering the most flammable forests. Today, more than one in five Colorado residents risk losing their home or their life to wildfire simply because of where they choose to live. That population brings with it new fuels to the forest – houses, cars, piles of firewood
and propane tanks. More significant, the people introduce new sources of ignition. Power lines can arc or snap when overburdened during heat waves. Vehicles and machinery spark hundreds of wildfires every year. Bullets from sportsmen’s guns and, in a few documented cases, sparks from golfers’ clubs striking rocks have ignited fires. Wildland firefighters face increasing demand to protect these homes and communities. That’s a job they are far less equipped for than their urban counterparts. Wildfire crews wear lightweight flame-retardant clothes rather than heavy fire coats, pants and oxygen equipment. They usually have only an ax, shovel or chainsaw to fight the fire, rather than a ladder truck with thousands of gallons of water. Nonetheless, it’s far harder to step back from a threatened home than it is a stand of trees. In the 1990s the average cost to the federal government of preventing, preparing for and fighting wildfires was less than $1 billion annually, according to Headwater Economics. In the past 10 years, the cost has surpassed $3 billion. The only way to prevent the loss of firefighters in the forest is to not have them there at all. And, increasingly, even when homes and infrastructure are threatened, leaders of these fire fights have to make the right call – ordering firefighters to stand down from dangerous situations even when private property will burn.

We read recently that former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin lashed out at “establishment” Republicans over a Senate vote regarding immigration. She insists the GOP is turning its back on conservatives, and, if that trend continues, she, along with others – including radio host Mark Levin – could help form the “Freedom Party.” Potential targets are those with “libertarian streaks” or people who “want government to back off and not infringe upon our rights.” She says no one should be forced into either one of today’s dominant political parties. Palin is right about one thing. No one should be forced into any party. However, for those who see her as a modern-day Moses ready to lead frustrated independents/libertarians/conservatives to politics’ promised land, we say don’t hold your breath. While she believes she is doing conservatism a service, we believe the opposite is true. Splintering the Republican Party is not a game-changer in the battle to change politics in Washington. It certainly won’t bring about smaller government. It would only present the Democratic Party as more tolerant and progressivism as more mainstream. It really wouldn’t matter what the actual message is that is being delivered. We understand the need to reach out to libertarians. Like the tea party offered a jolt to a GOP base in need of energy in 2010, libertarianism in moderation is being seen as an answer to wars abroad, national security issues at home, IRS scandals and government intervention in the economy. It broadens the net, where the “taxed enough already” crowd has fallen short. Palin also sees a possible resurrection of her career or a pathway back to relevance. We warn those conservatives ready to follow – do so at your own risk. Chopping up the GOP into numerous pieces only makes conservatism weaker. We use the elections of 2010 and 2012 as examples. Splinters in the Republican Party produced candidates who couldn’t deliver in the general election and, therefore, kept the U.S. Senate in the hands of Democrats. We hope that if the Palins of the world are serious they will lead in a more productive way. Instead of just protesting the controversy of the day – and, yes, there always seems to be something – they have to provide their own plans, their own changes, their own alternatives. Americans don’t need to just hear about what’s wrong. Our leaders can do better than that. Reminding us of our country’s failures isn’t leadership. Republicans should take their cue from Democrats in one area. Their party’s base in no way votes the same on all issues; however, Democrats are superior in keeping their group coalesced. Conservatives, in the search for the next Ronald Reagan, often keep the most qualified from entering the fray because of fringe candidates who are dangerous because of a smaller, more fanatical following. And while there are successes, the collective falls well-short of what is needed to take back a country that desperately needs leadership. Midland (Texas) Reporter-Telegram

Week of free events at Kishwaukee Fest In its fourth year, Kishwaukee Fest continues to grow, organizer Mike Embrey said. The week-long summer festival begins Saturday and incorporates free events in DeKalb, Sycamore and Malta. It begins with a flea market from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the corner of Peace and Pleasant streets in DeKalb, Embrey said. The Harley-Davidson dealership on Peace Road also will have a family day beginning at 10 a.m. Sunday will feature a 7 p.m. concert by local band Stroker Red at Hopkins Park in DeKalb and a pet adoption event. “We have a couple of adoption
groups coming in, including Save a Vet,” Embrey said. “They’re a dog veteran organization. When a military or police/fire dog ages out or is no longer productive, they need homes. Their handler’s job is often to take on a new dog and continue working.” Military dogs that have performed service overseas are particularly difficult to place with homes after their service has ended, he noted. Monday, July 22, also will feature a live music performance at 7 p.m., this time by jazz combo The Jodi Beach Trio at Ellwood House, 509 N. First St. in DeKalb. The festival also
incorporates the DeKalb Municipal Band’s regular Tuesday night concert at Hopkins Park and the Sycamore Park District’s Thursday-night concert at Sycamore Community Park. Wednesday is the festival’s youth day, Embrey said, which will not feature live music this year. “We tried to do music for the kids, but I couldn’t find the right genre,” he said. “So this year, it’s going to be a skateboard challenge for all age brackets.

CUBS NOTES
Cubs confident headed into All-Star break By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com AP photo
Gay, Powell test positive for banned substances The list reads like a Who’s Who among the world’s best sprinters: Jamaican Asafa Powell, the former world-record holder at 100 meters. American champion Tyson Gay, who went out of his way to promote himself as an anti-drug athlete. Jamaican Sherone Simpson, who has a gold and two silver Olympic medals to her credit. Word came Sunday that all three had failed drug tests. “A sad day,” one former track official called it – and certainly a day that punctured the myth that the oft-troubled sport has cleaned up its act. “I am not now – nor have I ever been – a cheat,” Powell said in a message released through his Twitter account. The 30-year-old Powell, whose 100-meter record of 9.74 stood until Usain Bolt broke it in 2008, was calling for an investigation as to how a stimulant called oxilofrine entered his system and caused a positive test at Jamaica’s national championships in June. Simpson, who tested positive for the same stimulant, said she “would not intentionally take an illegal substance of any form into my system.” Gay, the American-record holder in the 100, was more contrite, though he wasn’t taking full responsibility. “I don’t have a sabotage story. I don’t have any lies. I don’t have anything to say to make this seem like it was a mistake or it was on USADA’s hands, someone playing games,” said Gay, who fought back sobs in a telephone interview. “I don’t have any of those stories. I basically put my trust in someone and I was let down.” Gay, who won the 100 and 200 meters at U.S. nationals last month, said he would pull out of the world championships. The 30-year-old, who won the world championship in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay in 2007, took part in the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s “My Victory” program – in which athletes volunteer for enhanced testing to prove they’re clean – and his results never raised red flags. Until, that is, an out-of-competition test May 16, where results came back positive for a banned substance, the identity of which neither he nor USADA CEO Travis Tygart would reveal. – Wire report
CHICAGO – While the Cubs aren’t a threat to contend for the playoffs, they have built momentum heading into the All-Star break. Entering Sunday, the Cubs have won five of their past seven series as well as winning two series and splitting another in their past three series at Wrigley Field. A large part of the Cubs’ success has been the development of their bullpen, which was in shambles early this season. “Right now, our bullpen is as functional as [I’ve seen since] I’ve been here to where you can mix and match,” man-
ager Dale Sveum said. Closer Kevin Gregg, who signed with the team two weeks into the season, has provided much needed stability in high-pressure, late-game situations. Gregg, 35, has a 1.95 ERA, surrendering seven earned runs in 31 1/3 innings, with 17 saves. “I think from the start of the year this group thought we could compete,” Gregg said. “We’ve had a lot of onerun losses, and we were on the wrong side of a lot of those early. We’ve gotten the bullpen kind of figured out, and I think that’s helped us keep those leads and allowed us to win a lot more games lately.”
Cubs designate Rodriguez
for assignment: After only appearing in five games with the Cubs, right-hander Henry Rodriguez was designated for assignment before Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Rodriguez owned a 4.50 ERA with the Cubs, allowing six hits in four innings, while walking four and striking out only one batter after he was traded to the Cubs from Washington on June 11. The move was made to create a spot on the roster for outfielder Cole Gillespie, whom the Cubs claimed off waivers Saturday AP photo from the Giants. Gillespie, The Cubs’ Starlin Castro slides safely into third base after hitting a triwho will wear No. 2, was availple Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field. The game able off the bench Sunday.

ILLSIDE – Jake Thurm has a graveyard in his office. The PGA professional and lead instructor at Fresh Meadow Golf and Learning Center in west suburban Hillside uses high tech software in V1 Pro, TrackMan and FlightScope to analyze his students’ swings on a large high definition monitor. A photo of him working with a prized pupil and a black and white photo of Ben Hogan hang on the beige walls of the office which is roughly the size of a large walk in closet. Yet, there’s the lonely corner where the graveyard, Thurm’s nickname for an old golf bag where instant fix gizmos and trinkets that students bought for guaranteed game improvement go to die. “Students will come in and hand me their supposed game improvement devices and tell me they don’t need them anymore,” Thurm said. “Because everyone has a different body and different learning style, there’s no way there can be a training device that is fit for all swings. Technology has proven there’s no one perfect swing plane.”

Technology plays important part in improving game Note to readers: This is the third article in a seven-part series on the different aspects of golf and improving a player’s game.
As a student Jake Thurm always asked why. His teachers and mentors constantly fielded his questions. “Any teacher that couldn’t answer why or told me that’s just the way it is I’d run from,” Thurm said. “Find an instructor that can answer your question and do so in a way that will maximize your potential as a player.” Thurm can be reached at jthurm@eaglegolf.com or at the Fresh Meadow Learning Center at 708-449-6767. His Twitter musings vary from the instructional physics of the golf swing to the whimsical when he hears outdated golf commentary on a telecast. “I’m the worst guy in the world to watch golf with,” quipped Thurm, whose Twitter handle is @JakeThurmGolf. “I’m mostly teaching so people are spared of my commentary.”

JOHN DEERE CLASSIC
Teenager Spieth is youngest PGA winner in 82 years By LUKE MEREDITH The Associated Press SILVIS – Jordan Spieth can say that he’s accomplished something that Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Rory McIlroy never did. Spieth won a PGA Tour event as a teenager – and now he’s joining all those stars at next week’s British Open. The 19-year-old outlasted David Hearn and Zach Johnson on the fifth hole of a playoff Sunday to win the John Deere Classic, becoming the youngest winner on the PGA Tour in 82 years.
Spieth, a Dallas native who doesn’t turn 20 for another two weeks, hit a short par putt to earn a spot in the field at Muirfield. He is the first teenager to win since Ralph Guldahl took the Santa Monica Open in 1931. “I didn’t think it would happen this early,” said Spieth, who turned pro in December after an All-American season as a freshman at the University of Texas. “I had a plan. I guess the plan got exceeded.” Spieth started the day six shots behind third-round
leader Daniel Summerhays. A bogey on the first hole left him seven back with 17 to play. But Spieth forced his way into the playoff with three straight birdies. The last came when he holed out of the bunker from 44 feet, delighting a crowd that had expected to see Johnson, the hometown favorite, defend his title. Spieth caught a break when that 44-footer took a pair of fortuitous bounces. But he also put himself in that position with a brilliant final round.

Second-half substitute Kekuta Manneh also scored for the Whitecaps (8-7-6) as they extended their unbeaten streak to a club record six games. Vancouver overtook the idle Los Angeles Galaxy for fourth place in the Western Conference. The Fire (6-9-3) have lost two straight. In the 60th minute, the Fire’s Mike Magee, who entered the game tied for the league scoring lead, thought he had scored and started to put his arms up in celebration, but the ball curled wide of the net. Six minutes later, Camilo fielded a long punt from Knighton between Rolfe and Fire teammate Shaun Francis. Then the Brazilian deked Francis, twisting him inside-out, and put in a low shot. Knighton earned an assist for the second straight game.

In a display of cycling power that flabbergasted seasoned observers of his sport, Chris Froome tamed the mammoth mountain climb up Mont Ventoux in Provence on Sunday to tighten his grip on the yellow jersey in a relentless ride toward victory at the 100th Tour de France.
Dixon sweeps IndyCar’s Toronto doubleheader TORONTO – Scott Dixon went into Pocono Raceway a week ago ranked seventh in the IndyCar standings and approaching the one-year mark on his last victory. What a difference a week makes. Dixon snapped his slump with a win at Pocono, then pulled off a weekend sweep Sunday of the doubleheader event at Toronto.
Mexico advances to Gold Cup quarterfinals DENVER – Marco Fabian and Luis Montes scored goals 13 minutes apart in the first half and Mexico defeated Martinique 3-1 in the CONCACAF Gold Cup on Sunday. Miguel Ponce scored for Mexico in the 90th minute to secure the win. Mexico, the two-time defending tournament champions, moved to the quarterfinals after losing its first game of pool play to Panama.
Panama, Canada play to 0-0 tie in Gold Cup DENVER – Panama missed a chance to finish group play with a perfect record, tying winless 0-0 Sunday in the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Panama (2-0-1, Group A) had already secured a berth in the quarterfinals with wins over Mexico and Martinique. Panama’s Gabriel Torres, who had three goals in the victories, rested against Canada.
Brian Vickers a surprise winner at New Hampshire LOUDON, N.H. – Brian Vickers pulled into the lead late and took off on the green-white-checkered finish to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. The surprise winner snapped a 75-race losing streak in the series with his third career Sprint Cup victory. Vickers drives a part-time schedule for Michael Waltrip Racing and competed in just his eighth race of the season. Vickers made the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in 2009, only to be sidelined most of the next season with blood clots. He returned to drive a full schedule in 2011 but made only eight Cup starts last season. – Wire reports

By BERNIE WILSON The Associated Press SAN DIEGO – Tim Lincecum walked into the San Francisco Giants’ clubhouse late Sunday morning and, yes, his right arm was still attached to his body. That was no small matter, considering that Lincecum threw 148 pitches in his first career no-hitter Saturday night. The Freak, indeed. While he was still trying to put his no-hitter into perspective, Lincecum said his arm was OK after his incredible effort in the San Francisco Giants’ 9-0 victory against the last-place San Diego Padres. “I haven’t played catch yet but right now I feel good,” he said, sitting in the dugout an hour before the defending World Series champion Giants tried for a four-game sweep. Lincecum looks different now that he’s cut his long hair, and he doesn’t throw quite as hard as he used to. One thing hasn’t changed, though. Lincecum has never iced his arm after starts, including his 148-pitch performance. It turns out there was no ice of any kind Saturday night. “Not even in the drinks that I didn’t have last night,” he said with a laugh. “I said to him, ‘One time, can you ice it?’ ” manager Bruce Bochy recalled. Lincecum, a two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, said he had a low-key celebration. He spoke by phone with his father and spent time with his girlfriend and his two dogs. He said he didn’t get to sleep until around 3:30 a.m. “I woke up today, so I’m good,” he said. Lincecum said his family and friends “get more excited than I do just because it’s hard

I’m not really finding a way to enjoy this, I guess. But being able to share it with my family and friends was the best part.” There was still a buzz in the Giants’ clubhouse, where 12 hours earlier Lincecum was doused with champagne. “Timmy!” one teammate hollered when Lincecum walked in, wearing a beanie and glasses. Another Giants player gave the slightly built pitcher grief about the fanny pack he was wearing. “It’s momentum. It’s exciting,” said right fielder Hunter Pence, whose sensational div-
ing catch of Alexi Amarista’s sinking liner in the eighth inning preserved the no-no. Pitching coach Dave Righetti – who threw a no-hitter for the New York Yankees on July 4, 1983, a year before Lincecum was born – said the Freak’s pitch count became an issue in the sixth inning. “The only way he was staying in was if he didn’t give up a hit,” Righetti said. “He wanted it. You could tell. He was definitely in his zone, so to speak,” Righetti said. “It goes without saying how badly a guy wants it when it’s going like that,” Lincecum said. “You just hope they give you a leash to do so and you do so with the slack that you’re given. I think it just turns into an internal focus and you try to take advantage of the pitches you have left and you know that every pitch that you throw
is that much more worrisome, I’m pretty sure.” Bochy said he was impressed with how Lincecum got locked in when he had thrown about 100 pitches. “Sure, that’s a lot of pitches, but there’s days when a guy gets in a groove, he’s not putting a lot of effort in it and you let the dog run. ... There’s no way I could have taken that kid out,” Bochy said. “First of all, he probably wouldn’t have talked to me the rest of the season. But he was still going strong.” Lincecum struck out 13, walked four and hit a batter. He struggled this year and last, although he’s also been plagued this season by poor run support. Lincecum’s no-hitter for the Giants follows Jonathan Sanchez’s no-no in 2009 – also against the Padres – and Matt Cain’s perfect game last year.
PHILLIES 4, WHITE SOX 3
White Sox lose to Phillies in extra innings By AARON BRACY The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – The White Sox are looking forward to some rest and recuperation. John Mayberry Jr. hit an RBI single with two outs in the 10th inning, lifting Philadelphia over the slumping Sox 4-3 on Sunday. Alejandro De Aza homered for the Sox, which enters the All-Star break having lost seven of its past 10 and 31 of 44. “The record stands for itself,” manager Robin Ventura said after Sox (37-55) dropped 18 games below .500. “We’ll just go home, try to clear our minds and get ready to go in the second half.” The Sox scored a run in the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon, who blew his fifth save in 25 chances, to send the game to extra innings. “We kept battling, just couldn’t get it done at the end,” Ventura said. Dayan Viciedo hit a oneout single in the ninth and pinch-runner Blake Tekotte stole second. After Jeff Keppinger flied out, Josh Phegley singled up the middle to tie it at 3. But the Sox couldn’t get a run in the top of the 10th off Antonio Bastardo (3-2) and Mayberry sent the Phillies to their ninth win in their past 13 games. “It’s definitely exciting to pull that one out,” Mayberry

White Sox pitcher Ramon Troncoso walks off the field after Philadelphia Phillies John Mayberry Jr. hit a run scoring single single in the tenth inning Sunday in Philadelphia. The Phillies won, 4-3. said. “It definitely gives us momentum and being able to carry momentum into the All-Star break and second half.” Chase Utley led off the 10th with a double and David Purcey (0-1) walked Jimmy Rollins. The runners advanced on Domonic Brown’s groundout and Darin Ruf was intentionally walked to load the bases. Ramon Troncoso relieved and struck out Michael Young. But Mayberry lined Troncoso’s first pitch up the middle for the winning run. All three games in the series went extra innings. The teams played a total of 34 innings over 11 hours, 12 minutes. The Sox got a scare in the bottom of the ninth when
Phegley left the game with an injured right finger after taking a foul ball off his hand, but X-rays were negative. The catching prospect has been a bright spot of late, with three homers and nine RBIs in his first eight games since being called up July 5. “It caught me pretty square,” Phegley said. “I saw a bump and it didn’t look normal. I think I will be OK. We have four days off to take care of it.” Brown, picked for his first All-Star team, drove in a pair of runs and upped his team-leading total to 67 RBIs entering the break to help the Phillies (4848) reach .500 for the first time since June 7.
“The bottom line is if you don’t finish in first place or get in the playoffs, you haven’t done anything,” manager Charlie Manuel said. Cole Hamels was poised for his third straight win after a poor start to the season before Papelbon’s blown save. The left-hander has a 1.57 ERA in his past three starts. He allowed two runs and eight hits while striking out seven and walking none in eight innings. The three-time All-Star enters the break with a 4-11 record, but he is encouraged by his performance of late. “To put the team in situations where we win, that’s ultimately the big idea,” Hamels said. “[Earlier in the season] I was a little wild and not able to pitch deep in ballgames.” Said Ventura: “Hamels was really tough. You can’t look at his record. He had a great change-up and kept us off-balance.” Brown’s two-run double in the first off Jose Quintana gave the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Philadelphia added a run in the fourth on Hamels’ RBI single, the first of his two hits. The Sox scored in the seventh on Keppinger’s RBI single. De Aza hit a solo homer in the eighth. Quintana allowed three runs and five hits in six innings. It was the ninth straight start without a loss for Quintana, who has just one win during that span.
Baker moves another step closer to season debut • CUBS Continued from page B1 “I feel like I can steal some bases, play solid defense,” Gillespie said. “I think I can do the little things good. … It’s been up and down the last few years. Hopefully, I get a pretty good opportunity here.”
Baker makes rehab start: Scott Baker moved another step closer to making his season debut with the Cubs. Baker, who is working back from Tommy John surgery, took the loss for Class-A Kane County after allowing

He also walked one and struck out two batters on 56 pitches. “I didn’t get a pitching coach report or anything, that will come in later, but I think right now for him, it’s more of getting work in and getting comfortable,” Sveum said. “Understanding that when you have these things, sometimes you don’t want AP photo to let it go yet.

Cubs prospect Arismendy homers in Futures Game NEW YORK – The United States beat the World Team, 4-2, on Sunday in the All-Star Futures Game, baseball’s annual showcase for top minor league prospects. Cubs second baseman Arismendy Alcantara homered for the World team off Red Sox righthander Anthony Ranaudo. The opening event for three days of All-Star festivities at Citi Field, the Futures Game certainly had a New York Mets flavor to it in the team’s home ballpark. Two of the club’s touted pitching prospects, Rafael Montero and Noah Syndergaard, started on the mound and each worked a scoreless inning. Miami’s Christian Yelich and Boston’s Garin Cecchini each had an RBI double. Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Jesse Biddle earned the win and Washington righthander A.J. Cole got a save. New York outfielder Brandon Nimmo also got in the game – and moved into captain David Wright’s locker for the day. “I’m honored that I get to stand where he stands. I’m not taking his place or anything,” Nimmo said. “I hope this is my field in the future.” The only other time the Mets hosted the All-Star game was in Shea Stadium’s debut season of 1964. And while a scattered crowd announced at 39,188 was eager to see the promise of a better future, it turned into a big day for the Diamondbacks. – Wire report

GOLF: BRITISH OPEN
The yellow British Open awaits at Muirfield By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press GULLANE, Scotland – This already is shaping up as a yellow British Open. Golf’s oldest championship returns to Muirfield after a wet spring that was ideal for growing thick grass, followed by a dry summer that has yielded three “F’’ words that are ideal for a links course. Firm. Fast. Fiery. The yellow hue of the fairways and wisps of knee-high native grass framing them make that obvious. The trick is to figure out how far the ball is going – not in the air, but once it starts bouncing on the ground. Angel Cabrera set out Sunday to learn on the sixth hole, 461 yards and bending to the left with a bunker on the left side. The two-time major champion from Argentina hit 4-iron with a right-to-left wind and it stopped a yard short of the bunker. Then he hit a bullet of a driver that he thought was ideal until he reached the crest of a slight hill and didn’t see a ball in the fairway. The ball was running so fast that it went through the fairway and into the rough. “The great thing about links golf is it gives variety and options how to play,” two-time Open champion Padraig Harrington said. “You can have three players taking on a shot from the same place, and you might see three very different shots. You see a little bit of everything.” Cabrera played his first ball just short of a bunker to the right of the green and stared at it for the longest time, taking an unconventional route that makes links golf so different. Instead of pitching over the sand, he bumped a 9-iron on the ground, along the edge of the bunker, and watched it roll up the slope and down toward the pin. “Bien, Seve,” said his swing coach, Charlie Epps, as high a compliment as can be paid. Seve Ballesteros was a threetime Open champion who spent a career inventing shots that took circuitous routes to their destinations. That’s what it can take at an Open, especially when the grass is yellow
and crusty. It’s something Tiger Woods tends to do well. Woods was among dozens of players who used a sunny, warm Sunday to get their first look at Muirfield, which is hosting its 16th Open dating to 1892. He played with Jason Day and Dustin Johnson, with girlfriend Lindsey Vonn in tow. The left elbow strain that has kept Woods out of competition since the U.S. Open is not expected to be an issue. Woods said he was “full go,” which is the reason he took three weeks off to let his elbow heal. Woods is the betting favorite to end his five-year drought in the majors, and for good reason. He already has won four times this year on the PGA Tour. He’s a three-time Open champion. He loves to create shots. And the conditions are favorable. As players made their way around Muirfield, more than one of them mentioned Hoylake. That was considered the last true “yellow” Open, with a dry, hot spell on the northwest coast of England. That’s the last British Open that Woods won with supreme control. That one was famous for Woods hitting only one driver in 72 holes – on the 16th hole, and the shot wound up in the 17th fairway. “Did he hit it there on purpose?” said Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano. “No, that was his normal shot,” Cabrera replied with a laugh. The 441-yard eighth hole proved to be a great example of playing the ball in the air and on land. Cabrera looked at the pot bunkers that dotted the landscape on the right side of the fairway and chose a 6-iron off the tee to keep left of the trouble, and to keep his ball from running through into high grass. His only other option was to hit driver over the trouble. Teeing up another ball, he launched his driver high and long – far different from the low, penetrating flight on the sixth hole – and the ball stopped rolling when it went into a cross bunker about 40 yards short of the green. “There’s no way to know how far the ball is going,” he said to Fernandez-Castano, who opted for a 5-iron off the tee.
T H E
Par 4 Yards 447 Considered one of the toughest opening holes on a Scottish links for the British Open. Played into a prevailing wind, the tee shot should take on the bunkers down the left side to have the best angle into the green. The green is protected by bunkers on both sides, with a smaller bunker front and to the right.

Muirfield G.C.
Gullane, East Lothian, Scotland
The fairway narrows severely at about 290 yards off the tee and is guarded by bunkers, thus most players will opt for a long iron or a hybrid off the tee. The view of a green that is 40 yards long is partially blocked by a dune on the right, and the bunkers to the right have been moved closer to the green.

Par 4 Yards 461
Par 3 Yards 226
7
The hole is uphill and typically into the wind. The slopes on the putting surface are not as severe as the fourth hole, but a slightly inaccurate shot can feed down the slope to the left and into any of the three bunkers, or to the right into the lone bunker.
Par 5 Yards 559 The first par 5 starts with a tee shot at a slight angle to a fairway over five pot bunkers on the right side, with two more on the left side if the shot runs too hard and too safe toward the left. The green should be reached in two by most players, although it will be key to avoid bunkers on both sides of the green.
Par 4 Yards 441 The tee shot requires a carry of 280 yards to clear a cluster of bunkers in a fairway that bends to the right. Players might opt for less club off the tee to stay short, leaving a long shot over cross bunkers to a green that falls off at the back and left.
Par 3 Yards 186
8
Middle of the green is always a good play on this final par 3 where tee shots can fall off the side of the green toward bunkers. Lee Trevino holed a bunker shot on his way to winning in 1972. Ernie Els made double bogey and had to rally just to get into a playoff.

Par 4 Yards 379
Par 5 Yards 575
Only one bunker is down the left side, with the other replaced by a grassy hollow. The bunker on the right has been moved slightly closer to the landing area. The second shot has to avoid a group of five pot bunkers to the right.
A new tee extends this hole nearly 50 yards, which also brings out-of-bounds to the ft into play. The drive left should be placed between a deep bunker on the left and a new bunker 270 yards on the right in the landing area. The green is close to outof-bounds left and has a cluster of pot bunkers to the right.
Par 3 Yards 190
Par 4 Yards 184
This par 3 has been extended by 46 yards since 1992. The tee shot played to a plateau green is 40 yards deep and protected by pot bunkers and hollows on both sides. Anything short is likely to run down a slope into the bunker. The course turns clockwise to the east at this point.
The hole has been lengthened by about 30 yards and has a tight landing area protected by deep bunkers on both sides of a fairway that bends to the right. The green is known as a camel’s back because of the contours. The first bunker left of the green has been filled in, and other bunkers have been moved closer to the putting surface.
CLUBHOUSE
Par 5 Yards 554
The drive has to cope with a crosswind to a hidden fairway, followed by an approach toward a green that is protected by three bunkers and has Archerfield Wood as a backdrop. New hollows short and left of the green make the flag look closer than it is. The bunker right of the green has been moved slightly to the left.

Par 4 Yards 364 The shortest par 4 at Muirfield could be reached off the tee in the right conditions, but the penalty is severe. Along with a collection of four pot bunkers short and right of the green, a stone wall that is out-of-bounds runs down the left side and comes within 15 feet of the green.
J U L Y
The feature on this hole is the green that is 46 yards deep and not more than 15 yards wide at any point and fall away on both sides toward three deep bunkers on the right and two of the left. Ernie Els found one of them on the left in 2002 and played a remarkable shot to save par.
Par 4 Yards 469 Back nine routing is inside the outer loop of the front nine and runs opposite and counterclockwise. A fairway bunker has been added 290 yards right of the fairway which has been shifted, with bunkers moved to the left. Green is flat and partially hidden, with bunkers on both sides.
Par 4 Yards 387 The tee shot is blind over the crest of a hill to a fairway that has been tightened by an additional bunker some 320 yards out down the right side. The left bunker has been moved to 270 yards from the tee. The approach is to a small, heart-shaped green protected by pot bunkers and with sharp contours.
The last par 5 will play about 30 yards longer for this year's Open, though the long hitters should have no trouble reaching in two provided they avoid the five bunkers in the corner of this dogleg. A group of cross bunkers is situated about 100 yards short of the green. The green is set back into the dunes and protected by a narrow entrance with bunkers on both sides.
Par 4 Yards 470 One of the stronger closing holes in the British Open became about 20 yards longer since the last Open. Three bunkers cut into the landing area on both sides, while the green is guarded by bunkers short and on both sides. The island bunker to the right of the green has been altered to widen the sand area and reduce the chance of an unplayable lie.
Par 4 Yards 475 This typically plays into the wind, making the longest par 4 at Muirfield even tougher. A new tee makes the hole 30 yards longer than 2002, and the fairway narrows at about 300 yards out. The bunker to the right of the green has been lengthened toward the front of the putting surface.

Technology allows golf swing to be slowed down to fractions of seconds • GOLF Continued from page B1 With the zeal of someone who just figured out the solution to a complex problem that always confounded them, Thurm quickly double clicks on his mouse to show PGA Tour player Bubba Watson’s steep swing plane with his driver. Then, a clip of David Duval when he was at his peak. With an extra strong grip, completely closed club face pointed to the sky at the top and a bowed left wrist, Duval hit a fade. Both break the previously established standards of golf swing teaching, with Watson’s incredibly steep downswing yet still managing to swing up with his driver and Duval hitting a fade despite a closed club face. Technology has allowed the golf swing to be slowed down to fractions of seconds. No longer must an instructor guess or use the naked eye to judge what is taking place when the club face comes in contact with the golf ball.
That split second, quicker than the blink of an eye, can be recorded, watched, magnified and repetitively viewed to illustrate what’s really taken place at impact. “Golf instruction is about cleaning up misconceptions,” Thurm said. “Because there’s a lot of them out there amongst all players from high handicappers to scratch golfers. Even professionals struggle with what we now know. It’s only been recently that we know 100 percent what the ball does. It was always a matter of opinion. “I record players at every single lesson regardless of handicap. TrackMan and FlightScope has been a game changer in the world of golf instruction. They’ve shown the true ball flight physics.” Future waves of technological advancement have Thurm just as giddy when it comes to new ways to improve his methods and his student’s knowledge of their golf swing. 3D motion capture technology will provide depth to a two-dimensional image and Swing Catalyst technology can measure the force with which a golfer
pushes down on the ground and the ground in turn pushes back at the student. Even though he’s armed with the kinesiology and physics of the golf swing, Thurm doesn’t sounds like a professor at a lesson. He’ll teach to a player’s strengths. The former Bulls and Bears players he’s coached simply want their body parts put in positions to succeed. So, Thurm is hands on. Moving elbows, hands, bending knees or holding the player’s head in place. A more analytic mind, an engineer for example, wants the data; a given explanation for what’s going on so that it can be processed. “I learned sounding smart doesn’t make anyone better at golf,” Thurm said. “I can get a players path to the right simply by using noetic images. I understand the physics but if I am coaching someone that’s played baseball, I might tell them to point the club at the left field foul pole and then draw a red stripe down to first base. Now, they’re on a path to hit a draw without doing any physics.”

I am a very active girl who loves to run, chase, and play ball. I LOVE other dogs so playing in a fenced backyard would be ideal for me! I even get along with cats! My foster home had two cats and I was very respectful of their space. I am very smart and love to learn and I will work for treats! I am currently attending TAILS obedience classes and am doing very well learning my manners. I am crate trained, Give me a bone and some toys and I’m good to go! I’m a shedder (aren’t we all?) so be prepared to brush me often, and I love it! I’m a lover! Yes I may get excited and jump at times but I’m all about getting pets and giving kisses. I want nothing more than to lie at your feet (or in your lap if you’ll let me). Want to make me part of your family? I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Woman should ignore hostile comments Dear Abby: I have led an unusual life. I lived abroad alone in my late teens, spent my early 20s exploring the West, and finished my college degree a year early while working full time. It gave me independence, experience and clarity. My problem is, in dating I feel leagues ahead of men who are my age. I am attracted to much older men. My current boyfriend is 15 years older than I am. The age gap is often a topic of conversation among my acquaintances, co-workers and some family members. My boyfriend has also experienced unwanted comments about dating a
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips much younger woman. What are your thoughts on who a person should be dating in her early 20s? And how should I deal with those who believe I am breaking a social code? – Old Soul in Colorado Dear Old Soul: I can’t give you an unbiased opinion because when I was in my early 20s, I dated older men. They liked to talk, I liked to listen, and I learned a great deal about life from them. I hope the same will be true for you.
As to how you should deal with people who accuse you of breaking a social norm, unless they have a valid reason for criticizing the man you’re dating, I think you should tune them out. Dear Abby: I am a 26-yearold woman who is afraid of my true feelings. I have been friends with a woman who is a lesbian for seven years. I have always been attracted to women – especially her – but I have always dated men. I have just ended a fiveyear relationship, and over the past few months my friend and I have grown very close. I am starting to have feelings for her sexual-
ly. I think about her all the time. She’s beautiful, smart, inspiring and has an amazing personality. My problem is, I have an 8-year-old daughter, and I don’t know how she would handle it if I were to date a woman instead of a man. I am also afraid of how my family would react. Our attraction is unspoken, but I can see it when I look into her eyes. Should I admit my feelings or should we remain friends? – Afraid Of My True Feelings in Ohio Dear Afraid: I am reluctant to advise you to spend the rest of your life living a lie in order to avoid upsetting your
family, because I don’t think it would be healthy for you. Talk to your friend. Once you are sure the relationship with this woman is serious, mutual and lasting, you can tell your daughter you are dating. Children are adaptable, and this may be less of a surprise to her than you fear. My advice is to listen to your heart and you won’t go wrong.

Preserve your sexuality by living healthy life Dear Dr. K: I’m a man in my 70s. I still enjoy sex, but it’s different than when I was younger. What changes are normal? Dear Reader: As a man in the last half of his life, I would like to be able to tell you that nothing changes. However, even in healthy men, sexuality changes over time. It’s usually a gradual, almost unnoticeable process that usually begins in a man’s 40s. The sex act can be broken down into stages. Most are affected by aging. Sexual desire or libido: The sex drive requires the right mind-set and enough testosterone, the male hormone. The intensity of the sex drive tends to wane with age. Levels of testosterone begin to drop after age 40. Most
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff men over 40 still have more than enough testosterone to function sexually. But the sex drive is not just about testosterone levels. A man’s mind finds certain aspects of another person’s appearance or behavior attractive, or not. And when relationships become strained, a person who used to be sexually attractive can become less so. On the other hand, having an abnormally low testosterone level probably trumps the influence of the mind on sexual desire. People who used to generate sexual desire, and
still should, may not because the testosterone isn’t there. Arousal. Arousal begins with erotic thoughts and sensory stimulation. These excite the nerves that go to the penis, and that leads to an erection. Here’s how it works: The penis is filled with a spongy tissue. When the sponge is dry, it collapses. When it’s wet, it swells. Stimulation of the pelvic nerves signal the arteries of the penis to widen. Blood rushes into the spongy tissue. Stimulation of the nerves also causes the veins carrying blood away from the penis to narrow. So more blood is entering the penis and less is leaving. As a result, the penis swells, causing an erection. There are several reasons why it becomes harder for
men to have an erection as we age: • Penile responsiveness to sensory stimulation slows with age. • Penile blood flow may decrease as men grow older, even if they stay healthy. • The nerve signals that cause erections are more difficult to sustain. Plateau. The prostate and seminal vessels begin to discharge fluid to prepare for ejaculation. This phase does not change with aging. Ejaculation. Certain muscles contract, propelling semen forward. Orgasm usually occurs with ejaculation. These muscular contractions of orgasm become less intense as we get older. Also, semen volume and sperm counts decline.
Refractory period. The penis can’t respond to sexual stimulation during this phase. It lasts from 30 minutes (in younger men) to three hours (in older men). I know my description of male sexuality is kind of dull. However, you may have noticed that sex itself is not. Healthy men can remain sexually active and satisfied throughout life. The best way to preserve sexuality is to reduce your risk of chronic diseases. A healthy lifestyle is the road both to a longer life and to better sex.

Teen is miserable at home with dad’s new wife Dr. Wallace: My mother passed away a year ago. We were a happy family, and we all loved one another very much. My mother was a very compassionate human being. The world lost a beautiful person when she left this world to be with the angels. I was shocked when my father told me four short months after my mother died that he was thinking about getting married again. He said that I needed another mother, and he needed another companion. He began dating this lady, and she is now my stepmother. She has been living in our house for more than six months, and I still find it difficult to accept her
’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace as a member of our family. I shudder when I see my father hug and kiss her. She is a nice person, but she will never replace my own mother. My problem is that I am angry with my father. I have lost all respect for him. I try to be cheerful to both my dad and his new wife, but I just can’t pull it off. I don’t dislike my dad’s new wife, but I consider her a stranger intruding in our home. What should I do? I’m 17 and very miserable when
8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – Several significant relationships can be established in the year ahead with people who work in your field. This could have positive effects on your social life, as well. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Just because you’re anxious to wrap up an important matter, there’s no reason to be rash or impulsive about it. Positive results should take precedence over speed. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – When it comes to a business matter, don’t tip your hand prematurely. Keep your aces close to the vest and don’t play them until you’re sure you can win. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you’re able, try to take a breather from your workaday concerns and enjoy some of the wonderful things life has to offer. There’s a lot more to living than just making money. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – One of the quickest ways to wear out your welcome is to be dictatorial. You must be pleasant at all times, even as you’re champing at the bit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your drive for accomplishment could cause you to manipulate your friends. Strive to keep a sense of perspective about what really counts in life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Overly aggressive individuals could quickly turn you off. If this happens, you can avoid confrontation by responding in a strong manner. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Be careful not to respond too harshly in a public disagreement between you and your mate. You as well as everyone else could end up very embarrassed. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Although you might take the time to carefully analyze a situation, you could still make a bad judgment owing to a preconceived notion. Keep an open mind. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Even if asked, think twice before getting involved in a problem that a friend has brought on him- or herself. This situation could be more tangled than it appears. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Even if you aren’t the one who starts an argument with a friend, bite the bullet and do what you can to make amends, for the sake of the relationship. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – A friend might be willing to help you out, but don’t press your luck by demanding it. Ask nicely and be sure to show the proper gratitude. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Get out, look around and do a lot of comparison shopping before making a major purchase. If you don’t, you’ll regret your haste.
I’m at home. I do all right at school or when I’m with my friends. – Nameless, Oklahoma City, Okla. Nameless: You’re still grieving the loss of your mother, and it’s only natural that you would resent the idea of anyone trying to replace her. Living with a stepmother so soon after your mother’s death is definitely a challenge anyone would find daunting. I’m happy to hear you say that you don’t hate your father’s new wife and, in fact, find her to be a nice person; you’re just confused, understandably, by her relationship with your father. My suggestion is that you
8SUDOKU
do your best to get to know her as a person. Don’t think of her as a “replacement mother” but simply as a potential friend and ally. Rather than trying to be cheerful (and not succeeding), just be yourself. Also, be like your mother. Have compassion for your stepmother and understanding for your father. Your mom would have understood that life has to go on. It doesn’t mean that she’s forgotten. Losing your mother at such an early age is certainly an experience you will never “get over,” but it needn’t cripple you emotionally. It will make you a deeper,
BRIDGE Phillip Alder
more sensitive, person, more appreciative of life’s fleeting nature. Talk about your mother and share memories of her with your father whenever you can. And by all means, get on with your own life. I’m glad to hear that school is a haven for you and that you have close friends. Rely on them to help you through the rough times. Your future matters. Do your best in all your classes and plan on attending college.

8CROSSWORD
Use ‘trade’ to play better bridge In “The Nine Master Keys of Management,” Lester R. Bittel wrote, “Good plans shape good decisions. That’s why good planning helps to make elusive dreams come true.” When you are the declarer, good plans will often help to make a clear-cut dream – bringing home the contract – come true. To do that, you do not need nine keys; five are sufficient: Track your tricks (count losers and winners), Read the lead, audition the Auction, anticipate possible Dangers, and watch your Entries. Let’s start with track your tricks and read the lead. How should South play in four hearts after West leads the spade 10 around to declarer’s bare ace? Although South has only 12 high-card points, his hand is worth a jump rebid. This typically promises seven winners, which his hand has: one spade, five hearts and one club. South has four losers: one diamond and three clubs, though he seems to have 10 winners: two spades, seven hearts and one club. However, here, if declarer draws two rounds of trumps ending on the board and discards, say, the diamond nine on the spade king, he goes down. West ruffs, and later South concedes three clubs. When the opening lead is a spot card in dummy’s first-bid suit, it will usually be a singleton. Declarer should immediately cash the club ace and play another club (or duck the first round of clubs). East does best to win, cash the diamond ace, and lead a spade. Yes, shifting to a trump stops an overtrick, but here South might carelessly ruff low, allowing West to overruff and play a trump. Use “trade” to improve your play – our theme this week.
