oday is day 29 of a coast-to-coast adventure for Jeff Moore.

On Tuesday, Moore will be arriving in Creston, where he will be hosted overnight at the Creston Fire Station.

Moore, 23, of Madison, Wis., is cycling more than 4,400 miles from San Francisco, Calif., to New York City to bring awareness and raise funds for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.

The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization created in 1992 in Emmitsburg, Md., to honor fallen firefighters and aid their surviving family members.

The trek, which has been in the planning for less than a year, became a reality once Moore — a firefighter of four years with the town of Madison Fire Department — graduated from the University of Wisconsin in May. “Part of this is to get an idea of different areas of where I might want to live,” Moore said. “But, I think, a lot of it (inspiration) was just from being in the fire service.

Jeff Moore, 23, of Madison, Wis., seizes the moment during his trans-continential bike ride for a photo opportunity along the Snowy Mountain Range near Laramie, Wyo., in July. Moore is peddling his way across the country to honor fallen firefighters.

I wanted to see what the fire service looked like across the country and not just in my city or county.”

Moore said he wanted to use the opportunity as a way to raise funds for the families of fallen firefighters.

Moore said he chose the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation because, not only do they help assist fami-

lies of fallen firefighters, but, they also provide education and training to help prevent death in the line of duty.

Paying respect

It is Moore’s goal to arrive at the World Trade Center site, formerly known as Ground Zero, in time for the 13th anniversary of the Sept. 11. Along his transAmerican route, Moore has

been hosted by a different fire station on every stage of his route. Within the walls of each station, Moore is met with the same brotherhood that bonds his team back home and is provided meals and a warm bed each night.

Leath to announce Veishea decision today AMES (MCT) — Iowa State University President Steven Leath will announce his final decision on the future of Veishea, the university’s annual student-run celebration, at a press conference this morning, a news release from the ISU News Service announced Wednesday afternoon.

Leath will share his decision on the 2014 Veishea Task Force’s recommendations in the Memorial Union’s Campanile Room at 10:30 a.m., and will answer questions after his announcement.

Creston News Advertiser will have information regarding his decision on our website at www.crestonnews.com this afternoon.

Leath suspended the remainder of this year’s Veishea activities in early April after a Tuesday night disturbance in Campustown left one student seriously injured after he was hit by a toppling light pole. Police estimated the crowd to be in the 1,000s that night, and said the disturbance left at least two cars tipped over, and a number of light poles and stop signs torn from the ground.

While Veishea week has seen problems in the past, including disturbances in 1988 and 2004, many people expressed surprise at trouble breaking out so early in the week this year.

After suspending the rest of the week’s Veishea-sanctioned activities, Leath formed a 20-member task force charged with reviewing and evaluating the “role and relevance” of Veishea.

Over a series of meetings from April to June, the task force created a number of recommendations for the future of Veishea that included having some sort of over-arching universitywide celebration in the future, but that it not be named Veishea.

Andrew Long, 15, of Creston placed third in Greco-Roman Cadet Division at 84 pounds in the Junior National Championships in Fargo, N.D.

Creston was one of five pilot schools in Iowa to use the Power2Learn and Power2Teach concepts that originated out of the research of the “Smart and Good High Schools: Integrating Excellence and Ethics for Success in School, Work, and Beyond” report and associated with the program CHARACTER COUNTS! in Iowa. The goal of Power2Learn and Power2Teach was to provide research-based tools to maximize the power of student character and culture needed for teaching and learning.

Iowa Department of Public Health reported the first confirmed human case of West Nile virus in the state for 2009. The case was a middle-aged woman in Clayton County who was not hospitalized.

Braley: Minimum wage should be raised to $10.10 (MCT) — Iowa Congressman Bruce Braley took aim at state Sen. Joni Ernst over her opposition to the federal minimum wage during a visit to the Ames Tribune on Wednesday.

Braley, a Democrat, a n d Ernst, a Republican, are locked in a d e a d h e a t Braley for the seat currently occupied

by Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, whose retirement this year will mark the first time in four decades that an open Senate seat will appear on an Iowa ballot.

The congressman has made his support for increasing the federal minimum wage to $10.10 an hour and indexing it to inflation the focus of his campaign this week.

The proposal builds on a television advertisement his campaign released at the end of July that calls Ernst’s position on the issue an “extreme idea.” “(Raising the minimum wage) would pump over $250 million in new income into the state economy,” Braley said. “That’s a significant impact on the Iowa economy, because people who are working minimum wage jobs take that money and they spend it (on) necessities: food, shelter, clothing, fuel.”

The figure Braley cited

was taken from a report released in February by the liberal Center for American Progress Action Fund and Progress Iowa.

The report found that raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would create more than $272 million in additional gross domestic product for the state economy and increase the pay of 300,000 Iowans — another figure Braley pointed out.

Ernst spokeswoman Gretchen Hamel did not respond to a request for comment on various remarks Braley made during his visit Wednesday.

But Ernst has repeatedly stated on the campaign trail that she believes minimum wage decisions should be left to individual states and that Iowa’s minimum wage is appropriate.

The minimum wage is currently $7.25 both federally and in Iowa.

Republicans opposed to a minimum wage hike have argued that it would hurt small businesses.

They have also pointed to a Congressional Budget Office report released in February that found while raising the minimum wage to $10.10 would increase the family incomes of most low-wage workers, it would also cost roughly 500,000 workers their jobs by the time it was fully implemented.

firefighters he meets at each stop, touring their stations, viewing their trucks and listening to their stories.

With three departments, Moore has visited memorials for fallen firefighters in Sacramento, Calif., Carson, Nev., Evanston, Wyo., and hopes to visit one in Iowa City before his tour ends.

“It’s been a great opportunity,” Moore said. “Visiting each memorial with their fire departments was kind of a cool way to remember those people we have lost.”

Training When it comes to distance, Moore is putting in more miles on his bike than ever before.

“I don’t think anything could have prepared me for biking this much,” Moore said.

Moore said his training consisted of cycling to and from school and work and riding 80-85 miles on his days off. For the past five days, Moore has been logging 100 to 120 miles a day.

More said he hasn’t changed his eating habits, but he has been “eating a lot and drinking lots of water.”

“They (the firefighters hosting him) put on really big meals,” Moore said.

“They make me dinner or a big breakfast. It’s been really good.”

In between stops, Moore is self-supported, but, has been carrying along supplies donated to him like Gatorade and water.

“I carry my clothes, mechanics tools and food,” Moore said. “That’s an extra 33 pounds that I’m carrying that I did not train with.”

Moore said he appreciates all of the support, which, has been more than he could have ever expected.

Awareness When Moore started his ride, he had two goals in mind: to honor, respect and remember all fallen firefighters and to promote a positive image of the American Fire Service.

“So far, I feel those two goals have been achieved,” Moore said.

Moore said the endeavor has people excited.

“They think it’s a really cool story,” he said. “Everyone has been so good to me and I think people are getting a better image of who firefighters are and how to involve them in the their community.”

OPINION

Creston Chamber of Commerce August Happenings Creston Recognized as a Certified Connected Community by the State of Iowa Earlier this week Creston was recognized as the fifth Certified Connected Community in the State of Iowa. Through the efforts of the Creston Chamber, SICOG, UCDA and others, we were able to demonstrate the broadband and technology capabilities in our area that are bettering our business and economic development environment, improving upon healthcare, providing more efficient government, enhanced education and improved quality of life for the people of Creston.

Though it was great to be honored, those involved realize that we must continue to move forward in this area to continue to grow and prosper.

The Hi-Five for Service allows us to recognize those who make shopping and doing business in Creston a rewarding and positive experience. Please call the Chamber to honor a business or individual with a Hi-Five.

Gold Star Business Honored The chamber honored The Pizza Ranch this month as the August Gold Star Business in Creston.

They were nominated by their fellow Crestonians because of the appearance both inside and out of their building. Congratulations.

Just call the chamber to acknowledge a business property and tell us why you think this business should be a Gold Star Business.

July Honor Yards of the Month The Image Enhancement Committee would like to acknowledge and congratulate the following yards that were honored as the July Yards of the Month: 407 N. Maple, 1101 N. Elm, and 408 S. Livingston.

Another thing that will be nice is spending time with my parents.

I see them occasionally throughout the year, but now I’ll be able to spend more time with them. I am excited to spend evenings sitting with them eating dinner, watching TV and talking.

A third reason is I’ll be away from Creston. Just like in any city, time spent away makes you refreshed. While I’ll only be gone for five days, I can’t wait to come back refreshed and ready for work in the wonderful town of Creston again.

Even though I’ll be working most of the day every day, I do plan to get some destressing workouts in.

I have a Warrior Dash coming up in Earlham, and while I feel decent about it, I know I could use all the training I can get.

But, overall, I think the time away will be good for me. You can’t get much better than spend- From Chuck Erskine ing time with family, relaxing, earn- Creston ing some extra money and enjoying the outdoors.

My relaxing vacation is next week

Studies show taking vacations is healthy. And, while I covered Osceola Sentinel-Tribune for Amy during her week of vacation, I will be taking my week vacation starting Monday.

But, instead of going to South Dakota, like Amy, or some trendy beachside city on the west coast, I will be driving to my parents’ and mowing all week.

According to a Forbes Magazine story published in February, vacations improve the economy and personal health. Productivity can be increased because of time off, which in turn improves the economy. Personal health also is better because people are less stressed.

However, I’ve missed mowing.

My parents own a mowing business, Clipper Lawn Service, in Centerville. Ever since they started the company in 2009, I spent my summer vacations mowing, trimming and spraying Centerville cemeteries, parks and other lots in the area.

So, even though I will still be working, I think the mowing will be a good relaxing break for me.

For one, I’ll be in the sun. Studies have shown all that natural vitamin D can do wonders for a person’s physical health and emotions.

That is probably what I’ve missed the most about mowing during the summer, the sunshine, bright green

forget that they are talking about public property.

No matter how much you get in grants and donations, eventually cost will be put back onto Union County citizens. I think most homeowners will agree we are way overtaxed now. Maybe funds that were already spent on the Lincoln School could have been spent to fix Creston streets.

Changes coming to railroad From Jim Stalker Creston

Rumor has it that Warren Buffet’s little railroad company is working diligently to kick all conductors off of trains. Currently, there are two men riding in the engine of a trainload of coal, oil and other not so obviously seen cargos traveling through Creston 24/7 days of the week. It might seem the engineer is most important as he is driving the train. Not so, the conductor serves an equally important position as he has to read the signals posted along the tracks. Keep abreast of the front and rear as well as all that space in between. He is responsible for all the paperwork and must at all times act as backup engineer and observer of the track present and future. Plus other du-

ties I’m not fully aware of. Warren and his group of top management wants to delete that position, purely to improve profits, or so it would seem.

I’ve also been told that there is a move on to get rid of the crew transport vans. How would they be able to exchange a crew (one man or woman) out in the middle of nowhere? Here’s the one we need to be especially aware of. I have observed that it takes about 13 to 15 minutes to exchange a crew and get on their way. These transport van people have to be on call, drive out into the country (in all kinds of weather) and pick up and drop crews. Probably a costly but necessary chore.

Here’s one possible solution.

Each train would stop at our station to exchange crews. Sounds

easy enough. Here’s the downside. A train coming from the west would block both crossings at Elm and New York Avenue for about 15 to 20 minutes to eight hours at a time, while trains from the east could easily change crews and move on out, that is until they started to stack up, which they tend to do from both directions, sooner or later. There is one bright spot, we can kiss that quiet zone goodbye, as well as the millions it would have cost us to build it, because the track will always be loaded.

Even if none of the above were to happen, we might still build a quiet zone at Elm, also a bad idea.

The horns would still blow at the New York Avenue crossing. One block distant, we will hardly enjoy quietness.

add Governor Ray stood tall as a political and humanitarian leader.

Now those refugees are totally integrated and useful citizens. I recently learned that the Hmong people have higher employment rates, lower crime rates, and a higher percentage of high school graduates than the population at large. I am glad to have had a hand in that process.

Today the mood is tragically different. Many seek to turn away those, especially children, who come seeking the same refuge as the Hmong did 50 years ago. It is

as if the plaque on the Statue of Liberty has been repealed. It takes small people, with small vision and smaller hearts, to send them back to the horrendous conditions from which they have fled to live in hopeless, poverty, and despair.

Jesus left no doubt on this issue. Read Matthew 18:10-14; 10:42; Mark 9:42; Luke 17:2; and many other scriptural statements. Moral and ethical values trump political and partisan considerations every time! Or have we forgotten that we are, proudly, one nation under God?

Dear friends, From Jim Morris Creston

In the 1960s, it was my privilege and honor to be asked to serve on Governor Ray’s coalition to resettle Hmong refugees in Iowa. They could not return to their homeland in the Vietnam highlands because of the political situation there. It was hard work, but very rewarding.

Lots of help was needed, and given, by a broad spectrum of governmental and faith groups. And Iowa was lauded around the world as an example of what could be done,

Iran is mum on journalists’ arrests TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Foreign Ministry said Wednesday that it could not provide details of what crimes several journalists, including a Washington Post reporter, were suspected of committing before they were arrested two weeks ago.

The Post correspondent, Jason Rezaian, 38, a U.S.Iranian dual citizen from Northern California, was arrested July 22 with his wife, Yeganeh Salehi, an Iranian national and correspondent for the National, a newspaper based in the United Arab Emirates.

Also arrested were a pair of Iranian freelance journalists, a husband and wife. The husband was subsequently released, but his spouse, Maryam Rahmanian, remained in custody. Reports suggest that at least one of the two may also hold U.S. citizenship.

The Iranian government has provided no details on why the four were arrested or any charges they may face. A brief report last month from the official Islamic Republic News Agency said that a Washington Post journalist — Rezaian was not named — had been detained for questioning and that more details would be forthcoming.

ther explanation for what their crimes are,” Marzieh Afkham, a Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, said at her weekly press briefing Wednesday in the Iranian capital, according to the semiofficial Mehr News agency.

The arrests have drawn condemnation from free speech advocates, press groups and human rights activists.

Many reformists and liberals view the detentions as a bid by hard-liners in the security services to undermine the administration of President Hassan Rouhani, a pragmatist who was elected last year while advocating improved relations with the West, greater personal freedoms and fewer restrictions on free speech. His administration’s efforts to forge a deal with world powers on Iran’s nuclear program have angered hard-liners.

“This is a blow to Rouhani’s good faith in foreign diplomacy,” said Mojgan Faraji, a pro-Rouhani journalist.

The arrests came days after Iran and six world powers agreed to a four-month extension on negotiations on a pact that could reduce international sanctions against Tehran in exchange for curbs on Iran’s nuclear efforts. mile south, Delores Doench, pastor.

My counters have some culture Dear Heloise: I recently moved to a house with CULTURED MARBLE COUNTERS. How do I take care of them? I don’t want to do anything damaging without knowing. Thanks for your help! — Mark in Wisconsin Mark, great question! Cultured marble is not really marble, but is man-made to look like the real thing. It is pretty durable, but it does need to be taken care of. Here are some hints on how to do that: • Never put anything hot directly on a counter. No hot pans, curling irons, etc. It might hurt the finish, depending on how hot the pan is!

• Use nonabrasive cleaners, or baking soda and water.

Never use abrasive cleaners, like scouring powder, because they may mar the surface.

• Liquids like bleach or nailpolish remover can hurt it, so use caution.

• Small scratches can be “filled in,” so go to a home-improvement store for the right product to fix the problem.

— Heloise SMELLY GARBAGE Dear Heloise: We walk our two schnauzers three times a day and always come home with a poop bag. Garbage is picked up twice a week, and

Hints from Heloise storing the poop bags was pretty stinky. So, we got a plastic container with a tight lid and added about an inch of kitty litter in the bottom.

Come garbage day, we dump the whole thing into our garbage bag, refill the kitty litter, and we are good to go until the next garbage day. — Christine W., via email Good doggie hint! For others who don’t have garbage pickup, you can flush the waste down the toilet! — Heloise BOTTOM OF THE JAR Dear Heloise: I hate trying to scrape the bottom of a jar to get the last bit of contents out, but I hate wasting it more.

I now store almost-empty jars of mayonnaise, mustard, etc., on their sides. It makes getting to that last bit so much easier, and my hand isn’t covered from sticking it way down in the jar. — A Reader, via email HUMMINGBIRD FEEDERS Dear Heloise: We have a few hummingbird feeders in

our yard. They come apart and are easy to clean, except for the feeding holes where the birds stick their tongues. I have a very small bristle brush used to clean icing tips. It works perfectly to clean those small openings. — Lisa in San Clemente, Calif.

TOUCH-UP CAN Dear Heloise: When we painted the inside of the house, I purchased a small can of paint in the color. I keep it for touch-ups. Every once in a while, I get the can out and go around the house and fix spots that need it. — Grace in Texas FADED RECEIPTS Dear Heloise: Have you ever noticed that receipts fade over time? If I have a receipt that is important and I need to save it, I make a copy.

National Digest

Tiger plays LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Tiger Woods arrived at Valhalla Golf Club on Wednesday afternoon and, after a nine-hole practice round, pronounced himself ready to play in the PGA Championship, which begins Thursday morning.

Woods said the pain that caused him to withdraw from the WGCBridgestone Invitational on Sunday was unrelated to earlier back surgery that forced him to miss two major championships this year.

“I felt pretty good about how I played and the shots I hit,” Woods said. “I have to get used to how this golf course is playing.”

Asked if he was in any pain, Woods said: “Painfree, yes, except for the headache of talking to you guys.”

That quip would suggest business as usual for Woods, but given how he looked just three days ago, that he was upright and hitting solid golf shots and talking positively about competing is somewhat remarkable.

Woods had to be helped into a golf cart after hitting his tee shot on the ninth hole of the final round and had difficulty changing his shoes and getting into his courtesy car to leave.

It not only put this week’s tournament in doubt, but the rest of the year. He traced the pain in his back to when he hit a shot from an awkward lie on the second hole at Firestone, his momentum carrying him back into a gaping fairway bunker.

The force of the landing, he said, caused a problem that he described as a sacrum bone being displaced.

Rory praise LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jack Nicklaus has gotten to know Rory McIlroy since the Northern Irishman moved to Florida a few years ago, and the Golden Bear does not hold back in his praise for the No. 1-ranked golfer in the world.

Interviewed on ESPN Radio’s “Mike & Mike” on Wednesday morning, Nicklaus made it clear that he thinks McIlroy can win many major championships.

“I think Rory is an unbelievable talent,” Nicklaus said. “I love his swing, I love his rhythm, I love his moxie. He’s got a little swagger there, it’s a little bit cocky but not offensive. I like that. I like the self-confidence in a young man. He’s got an unbelievable amount of speed in his golf swing, he obviously hits the ball a heck of a long way. And he hits in there consistently and how he controls it.

“It depends on what he feels his priorities are, and that’s his call. I think Rory has an opportunity to win 15 or 20 majors or whatever he wants to do if he wants to keep playing. But you just don’t know what the guy’s priorities are going to be in life 10 years from now.”

McIlroy heads into this week’s PGA Championship at the Nicklausdesigned Valhalla Golf Club having won his past two events, including the Open Championship.

Solely because of REAP, eight 14x18 foot log-frame cabins that sleep six are available year-round.

Each comes equipped with self-contained heat/ air units, electricity, queen sleepers, fridges, microwaves, picnic tables and fire pits. A larger lakeshore cabin, located on the beach near the boat ramp, sleeps up to 12 in two rooms and offers a large private deck, stove and all the comforts of home.

Three Mile Lake’s Recreation now provides the Union County Conservation Board with more than $160,000 in annual revenue.

Three Mile’s REAP-facilitated, heated, “comfort station” is open 24/7, 365 days a year and includes accessible showers, sinks and flush toilets. It has remained open continuously since 1995. Located nearby, between the cabins and

modern campground, lies the heated fish-cleaning station. It is also open 365 days a year and provides fishers and ice fishers alike an all-weather comfort zone complete with stainless steel fish cleaning table and gut-grinder.

REAP funds also benefit Iowa through annual per-capita county allocations. Every county in Iowa receives these funds, and through years of saving Tapken was able to separately REAP-fund the initial $80,000 beach installation while coordinating with boat ramp and parking lot construction.

“Before the dam was completed, before the lake was even here, we knew where the water line was going to be. DNR and County Conservation worked hand in hand, putting the beach in first so we wouldn’t interfere with where they wanted the boat ramps and parking lot; we coordinated in or-

der to utilize facilities that accommodate for more than just boaters,” said Tapken.

Three Mile’s beach has a beach volleyball court and adds the option of spending a relaxing day by the lake in the sun and sand.

The 880-acre Three Mile Lake now contains a choice bounty of muskellunge, walleye, large and smallmouth bass — in addition to the usual run, including crappie, bluegill and catfish. Acres of underwater structures make for some of the best fish habitat in Iowa, while 11 fishing jetties and a wheelchair accessible fishing pier provide shore anglers comfort and convenience.

Hundreds of acres of cover and food plots create a habitat rife with songbirds, waterfowl and

upland game. The lake has quickly become a mecca for migrating ducks and geese, and waterfowl hunting is permitted — except for Canada Geese, as Three Mile Lake and the surrounding wildlife area is designated as a Canada Goose Refuge. Whitetail deer and wild turkey abound along with cottontail, squirrel, pheasant and quail.

Three-Mile Lake Lodge is Three-Mile’s newest structure, a 36x84 foot logframed lodge available for rent by the public yearround.

This multi-purpose building has quickly become a popular spot for many different types of activities, hosting wedding ceremonies and receptions, several local school proms, business retreats,

reunions, anniversaries, birthdays and banquets.

The upstairs level boasts an impressive 1,800 square-foot main room, complete with dance floor, large deck, full kitchen and restroom facilities. The basement offers a room of similar size, constructed with 8-inch thick concrete walls that allow the space to double as a storm shelter for all 80 campsites and recreational areas.

“All REAP funds were leveraged to secure federal money through land and water conservation funds, as well as private funding, to construct the $500,000 lodge,” said Tapken.

“I think REAP has been a very beneficial program for the state of Iowa, simply because it is able to touch every point of Iowa (diversity of REAP funding available). It really hits on every element — in terms of Iowa’s resource enhancement and protection — through REAP’s

eight major programs: Conservation Education, County Conservation, City Parks and Open Space, Public Land Management, Roadside Vegetation, Soil and Water Enhancement, and State Open Space,” he said.

In its 25 years, REAP has benefited every county in Iowa by supporting 14,535 projects. REAP has funded these projects with $264 million in state investments, leveraging two to three times that amount in private, local and federal dollars. Collectively, these projects have improved the quality of life for all Iowans with better soil and water quality, added outdoor recreation opportunities, sustained economic development, enhanced knowledge and understanding of our ecological and environmental assets, and preservation of our cultural and historic treasures.

Valhalla’s history par excellence

By MIKE KERN

Philadelphia Daily News

The first time the PGA was held at Valhalla, what unfolded was hardly memorable. But the next time would turn into something historic.

In 1996, when it was only a decade old, Valhalla hosted the season’s fourth major. The fact that Jack Nicklaus was the designer of the Louisville, Ky., course might have had something to do with that.

Of course, the fact that the PGA of America had a 25

percent interest in the club probably didn’t hurt, either. The organization that runs this championship eventually became the sole owner, which also explains why the Ryder Cup went there in 2008. It’s a bigtime money-maker, which can trump the fact that Valhalla was ranked 99th (a drop of 15 places) in Golf Digest’s most recent list of the Top 100 layouts in America.

Anyhow, in 1996 what we got was Mark Brooks beating Kentucky’s Kenny Perry in the last of the

NIE

Newspapers in Education

seven sudden-death PGA playoffs. He made a birdie on the first extra hole, the par-5 18th, for the second time in about 30 minutes.

A par would have been good enough, since Perry made bogey. Brooks put his second shot — a 3-wood from 230 yards — on the green and two-putted to finally end things. On the closing hole of regulation he needed to hole a five-footer for birdie to extend the tournament. His 104 putts that week led the field. It would be his lone major win, although he did

lose to Retief Goosen five years later in an 18-hole playoff (70-72) to decide the U.S. Open at Southern Hills.

What most folks remember is Perry watching Brooks play the 72nd hole from the TV booth with Jim Nantz and Ken Venturi, when he could have been on the practice range warming up. Then Brooks, a Texan, equated the feeling to winning the Houston Open three months earlier. At 35, that was the last of his seven PGA Tour victories.

Four years later, Valhalla got another chance.

Return engagements never happen that quickly, but the PGA of America obviously had its reasons. It went to overtime again.

But what an OT this one was. Not that the back nine leading up to it had been too shabby.

It might have been Tiger Woods’ finest moment. OK, maybe if you don’t include the 12-shot romp at the Masters in his first major as a pro. Or my defining favorite, taking the 2008 U.S. Open in 91

holes on one good leg. But 2000 at Valhalla could very well represent his absolute peak. He’d already won the U.S. Open by 15 at Pebble Beach in June, and the British Open a month earlier by eight at St. Andrews. So he arrived at the PGA stalking a Triple Crown, which in the Masters era only Ben Hogan in 1953 had managed to accomplish. And he found himself in an unexpected duel with journeyman Bob Please see VALHALLA, page 10A

A couple questions we had to ask — ourselves

It’s just scruff, not a playoff beard Tony is working on.

Is Jimmie’s slump a bad sign, or a blip soon to be forgotten?

GODSPEAK: This looks more like a string of bad luck, but there has to be cause for concern, such as “Do we have enough sheet metal to finish the season?”

KEN’S CALL: If nothing else, it shows the 48 is capable of finding quicksand. Bad sign, I say.

Is it officially panic time for Tony Stewart?

GODSPEAK: Tony’s bad leg made it through the crash. Time to pull out all the stops for a win.

KEN’S CALL: If landing atop Paul Menard’s car didn’t trigger it, what will?

THE BIFF’S DECISION

Here we go again.

It took Jimmie Johnson 12 starts to nab his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series victory this season, and then in a four-race span, he won three times to stomp the doubts of naysayers.

Johnson’s last victory was at Michigan on June 15. Since that time, he’s gone into a swoon, if not an all-out downward spiral.

In his past four starts since the Coke Zero 400 on July 6, Johnson’s No. 48 has been bashed and battered and beaten up in three wrecks.

The latest sheet-metal bender happened at Pocono Raceway on Sunday when one of his tires apparently suffered rapid air loss, sending Johnson into the wall in Turn 2 — the “tunnel turn.”

“I’m not really sure,” Johnson said after being asked what happened.

“The car went straight down into the tunnel turn.

Unfortunate. We had some trouble early and were able to really rally back and get ourselves in the top five.

“So disappointed for sure, but really unclear as to what happened going into Turn 2.

The car went straight, so at this point the guys are trying to get the right-front (tire) off to take a look at it as you hear the hammers behind me.”

You have to imagine the hammer sounds. You can feel the disappointment in Johnson’s words.

Maybe more disturbing than the rash of wrecks was Johnson’s Brickyard 400 performance at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, where he started 11th, finished 14th and never led a lap.

In his past four starts, Johnson’s average finish is 34th.

Johnson & Co. have five races to break the trend line before the playoffs.

AP/MATT SLOCUM

With a sweep at Pocono and three wins this year, Junior is now bathing in momentum.

Greg Biffle said he was chatting with other race teams about the 2015 season, but decided to stay at Roush Fenway Racing to “anchor” the team with Carl Edwards’ impending departure. “Every driver has opportunities, and I was very thankful that I had plenty of opportunities,” he said. “I think internally what happened is, as I was deciding what I wanted to do for the future, I think Carl decided that he was gonna move on, and then I needed to make a decision what I was gonna do. I’ve won over 55 races driving there and 19 Cup wins, and I just felt like we can get this thing turned around, so I made the decision to stay.”

Is Junior now on the short list of championship contenders?

Well, he’s second in points and tied for the circuit lead with three wins. You don’t need a Ouija board, Magic 8 Ball or access to Chris Economaki’s old notebook to say yes, your list of Chase favorites includes Junior Earnhardt. But he’s hardly alone. I can make a good case for at least six drivers to enter the Chase as “man to beat.”

That list includes Jeff Gordon, right?

Yes, but during an interview session last week at Pocono, someone asked about his cranky back, which first got really bad this past spring in Charlotte.

Thanks a lot, pal. Nothing tempts a back to slip the rails quite like focusing on that possibility. “It’s not great,” was how Jeff described it last week. Translation: “My Chase chances are hanging on tenterhooks.”

What’s a Spotter Bar, and do they have Ladies Night?

TOGETHER AGAIN For the second time since 2012, Tony Stewart’s Chevy landed on top of Paul Menard’s Chevy at the end of a multi-car accident. It happened at Talladega in 2012, and history repeated itself Sunday at Pocono. “We have got to stop doing that,” Menard said. Stewart added, “Yeah, I tend to end up on Paul a lot — carwise, our cars tend to end up on top of each other for some reason.”

The “Spotter Bar” is the latest marketing idea to sell high-end tickets to deep-pocketed fans. Tickets are being offered to suite guests at Atlanta Motor Speedway later this month. The description includes the word “granite,” which means it’s not your normal trackside pub. The draw? The ability to listen to all driver/crew/spotter communication during the race.

Hence the name of the bar.

FEUD OF THE WEEK AP/MATT SLOCUM

On the outside, calm and cool.

But on the stat sheet, his past four results are 42nd, 42nd, 14th and 39th. Jimmie still has five more weeks before the Chase starts, so somewhere in those pockets, maybe he’ll find that golden horseshoe.

BRIAN VICKERS

DENNY HAMLIN

Brian Vickers vs. Denny Hamlin: Hamlin said his car was “sucked around” by Clint Bowyer’s machine, but his spin caused heavy damage to Vickers’ car.

Godwin Kelly gives his take: “All the drivers involved said Pocono’s version of the ‘big one’ was one of those freak racing deals.”

VALHALLA: Continued from page 8A

May, a fellow Southern Californian whose regional amateur records Tiger had broken. Woods, who was doing the chasing, had to pull off several shots coming home or it was over. Naturally, he Woods did. Both shot bogeyless 5-underpar 31 on the closing nine.

That gave Woods a 67, and May his third consecutive 66. Each finished at 18-under 270, five better than the next-best total and a record (by one) for this major.

After Tiger finally pulled even with a bird at 17, May nailed a 15-footer for 4 on the 72nd hole. So Woods had to convert a five-footer that broke left to right to keep playing. It hit nothing but net. On the first playoff hole, No. 16, Woods rolled in a 20-footer that he punctuated by pointing emphatically at the ball even before it dropped while briskly striding toward the cup. He was in front to stay. The two parred in from there, with Woods getting up-and-down from a greenside bunker at 18 to become the first to repeat since Denny Shute in

1936-37. He’d do it again in 2006-07. The following April he completed his Tiger Slam at Augusta.

May, who’d won a tourney in Europe in 1999, would never win a PGA Tour event, though he did lose the 2006 B.C. Open in another playoff (to John Rollins). If he’d beaten Tiger it would have been right up there alongside Jack Fleck over Hogan at the 1955 U.S. Open. Or Francis Ouimet over Harry Vardon and Ted Ray at the 1913 Open. Instead, he goes down as another Mike Donald (see 1990 Open).

For what it’s worth, the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla was notable mostly because the Americans won.

And made it look easy (16 1/2-11 1/2). It remains the lone U.S. victory since the Miracle at Brookline in 1999. The Americans will get another chance next month at Gleneagles in Scotland. Of course, the last time they won on European soil was 1993, which was also the only other time Tom Watson was the captain.
