Booking The Grill for the fair was a bit of a fluke.

“They called us and I think they meant to call Miami County, Indiana, because they do NASCAR races, but they wanted to come,” Keller said.

Making their first appearance at the fair is the Troy Kiwanis Club, who also will have individuals from the Troy Senior Center helping to prepare sausage sandwiches and funnel-cake sticks.

“We’ve been trying to give different fundraisers to raise money for our mission, and we knew there were opportunities at the fair and were able to have enough people to cover the week,” said President Dee Mahan.

For a cool, refreshing treat to top things off, Liten Up will be serving healthy fruit smoothies and fruit bowls all week long.

PERSPECTIVE

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

— First Amendment, U.S. Constitution

EDITORIAL San Francisco Chronicle on the Sikh temple shooting: As usual, the details are sad and sickening. Wade Michael Page showed up at a Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wis., just as volunteers were gathering to cook lentils, yogurt and rice pudding for the faithful.

He killed six men and women — ranging in age from 39 to 84 — injured three more, and shot a police officer who tried to aid one of the victims.

Now all we know about Page is his short and nasty biography — discharged from the Army for being drunk on duty and other misconduct; musician in a variety of white power bands — with names such as Definite Hate and End Apathy — and the trail of tears and terror he left behind.

And once again, too many of our elected leaders take to the microphones for expressions of grief and compassion, but with too little resolve to confront the ready availability of weapons to the deranged that is the a common element in these massacres.

Far more inspiring is the response of the Sikh temple’s surviving members.

Similar yearning for setbacks in housing, manufacturing, retail sales and other economic numbers also could help trigger yet another “rescue” mission by the Fed. The underlying problem with this familiar scenario: At some point, if the Fed keeps printing money we don’t really have to prop up stock-price levels that aren’t really justified, the U.S. dollar inevitably will lose value.

And as long-term logic warns, if our nation — and many European nations — can’t get their massive and still-soaring public debts under control, that collective red-ink flood will remain a rising threat to a sustained economic recovery.

Bernanke periodically tries to make that point while urging Congress to adopt effective deficit-reduction measures.

Still, after the Fed panel met last, it released a statement assuring that it “expects to maintain a highly accommodative stance for monetary policy.”

In other words, if the economy doesn’t climb out of its rut by the next Fed meeting in six weeks, Bernanke just might prime that pump again by printing more money.

You need not be a Wall Street tycoon to find such “reassurance” fleeting at best.

And when bad jobs news is regarded as good stock-market news, our investment system needs a more balanced equation.

LETTERS

Republicans keep on telling lies To the Editor: Winning at all costs can kill what is won. Do Republicans even care? Nope. They're willing to repeatedly lie. They know their base supporters watch nothing but "the parrot of propaganda," FOX News, so they'll never hear the real truth. (Nonpartisans judge FOX as the most misinforming network).

Their latest lies were whoppers.

Lie No. 1: Saying Ohio Democrats want to stop the military from early voting the weekend before the election.

That's a blatant lie. Democrats simply want all Ohio citizens, including the military, to have same rights as they had four years ago — when everyone could vote early that weekend.

In 2008, 93,000 Ohio citizens voted early then, and the majority were Democrats. Thus, Ohio Republicans passed a law to ban

early voting for all Ohioans the weekend before the election (unless active military). We're suing. It takes deliberate stinky gall to lie that big. Romney and his crew dishonor our freedoms.

Since more Democrats voted early effectively in 2008, Republicans are trying to make all voting as difficult as possible in as many states as possible.

How patriotic is that? Americans died for voting rights. Don't Republicans have the confidence to stand up in a fair election, say the truth, and let people choose their own leaders? Their lying and rigging, from changing voting laws to upholding gerrymandering, is like a coup d'état in a third world country. Their thinking and actions are not American. "Shame" is not adequate an outcry for those who undermine our freedoms for their personal gain. Voting rights are sacred.

Elections should be changed to a weekend or made into non-

working holiday — so that more Americans could more easily vote. No doubt, Republicans would be against this.

Lie No. 2: Saying President Obama wants to eliminate work rules for welfare. The opposite is true. He's willing to allow states more control of their welfare programs — if they can show a more effective increase in achieving employment for recipients. PolitiFact says Romney's "pants are on fire!”

Romney will do anything to win. As a hypocritical flip-flopper, he's untrustworthy in any situation. He's sold out to a handful of Tea Party-supporting, self-serving, power-mongering billionaires! A morally bankrupt puppet, Mit Romney is a poor choice for president! Unlike his Michigan trees, his integrity is not "just the right height" — and sinks lower with every lie.

DOONESBURY

Cove Springs Grange a must during fair week Errrrrrrrrrrwhick ... thwapp!

Errrrrrrrrrrwhick ... thwapp!

Thwapp!

You hear that? That's the sound of the Cove Springs Grange screen door opening and slamming shut.

Today kicks off the first day of the Miami County Fair, and the sound of that screen door slamming is one of my favorite sounds of the fair.

You see, many of my favorite fair memories took place in that metal building. Of course, I don’t remember it being a tent back in the day, but it’s the one place that never seems to change.

I’ve always said one of the great things about the Miami County Fair is that it’s a place where time stands still.

And to me, the best example of that is at Cove Springs Grange.

The food is the same. The workers are the same. The people are the same. The guide rope keeping the line in firm and fashionable order is the same.

You know you’ve survived another year when you walk through those doors and the first thing you see is the glow of the refrigerated glass case that holds the pies. A sense of peace washes

Melanie Yingst Troy Daily News Columnist over you — life is still worth living because of those pies.

Years and years ago, my cousins would come in from California and New York to spend the week at the fair with us country cousins.

My cousins would show hogs and steers, while my twin sister and I showed lambs.

The out-of-towners always had to wait on their country cousins to finish showing before we all could eat at Cove Springs.

This was never a problem for my sister and me on the day of the lamb show. All but one year in which Megan placed really well, we’d finish in the middle of the class, so a return trip to the division champion ring was not a problem.

Lunch was enjoyable and quick

— Patricia L. Vogt Piqua

day on lamb show day.

It was not so enjoyable for the cousins who showed pigs.

Collectively, we all had to sit and starve while waiting on them to win.

So on one hand, it was great that they did well. On the other, it just meant we had to wait even longer to eat.

We’d usually run from the hog barn all the way to the grange, leaving the supervision (and wallets) behind in the dust.

Being the ravenous children that we were, we’d slam the screen door in each other’s face before shuffling our boots on the cement floor up to the counter to grab a tray.

Why does food always taste better when there’s a tray involved?

When we were little, my beloved aunt from California would always force my California cousins to order cantaloupe, grapes or melon at Cove Springs.

You know, the healthy stuff.

As you can tell, this memory still haunts me. I always thought it was a cruel form of punishment, especially since the very first things you see at Cove Springs Grange are all the homemade

pies behind the refrigerated glass.

My California cousins all turned out all right in mind, body and spirit, but every time I see a Styrofoam bowl of melon in the pie case, I say a little prayer for the child that will be forced to choose fruit over a slice of chocolate pie.

Is there any other place on Earth that starts out with dessert being offered first?

Best. Marketing. Strategy. Ever.

The Cove Springs Grange menu is written in chalk, so come early.

Don't bother asking for the nutritional information breakdown if you are watching your weight. And if you are, by chance, watching your weight, you are at the wrong place or a glutton for punishment.

Remember. This place starts with dessert first.

So stop out to the Cove Springs Grange if you’ve never been at this week’s county fair. Grab a tray, go ahead and start with a piece of pie and say a little prayer for the little kid who will be forced to get the bowl of melon instead.

He’s into something good Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone to perform at Cruise-in

This Aug. 2, 2010, file image released by Starpix shows former boxer Mike Tyson, right, and his wife Kiki Tyson at the curtain call for the opening night of “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth,” at the Longacre Theatre in New York.

The one man show starring Tyson was directed by Spike Lee, and written by Kiki Tyson.

Mike Tyson’s one-man show packs no punch

2307650

NEW YORK (AP) — There is apparently a threat by someone on Twitter to execute a shooting rampage at the Broadway theater that’s playing “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.” This has added something sadly lacking in Tyson’s one-man show: any sense of drama.

The former champion boxer and convicted rapist promises at the beginning of his odd and pathetic show, which mercifully ends its run Sunday at the Longacre Theatre, that he’ll offer the unvarnished truth of his tortured life. What actually comes out sounds more like a press release written by someone else.

“I know many of you are probably wondering, ‘What the hell is Mike Tyson going to do up here onstage tonight?’” he asks. “Well, frankly, I’m wondering the same thing, too.”

The two-hour show, directed in a paint-bynumbers style by Spike Lee, doesn’t really come to an answer about that. Nothing new or very interesting is revealed, and the stage hasn’t been turned into a place for deep thinking. Maybe that’s because it was written not by Tyson, but by his wife, Kiki, who got him sober and apparently convinced him that this embarrassment of a show would work.

“Really can’t complain these days. I’m really grateful things have come full circle for me,” he says, somewhat unconsciously mournful. “I’m pretty domesticated now.”

The show traces Iron Mike’s rise from violent street hood in Brooklyn to a fearsome athlete. Then comes the fall prison inmate, tabloid target, cocaine and Evander Holyfield’s delicious ear. (He admits he wanted to title the performance “Boxing, Bitches and Lawsuits.”)

First wife Robin Givens and ex-manager Don King are excoriated. Kiki Tyson, not surprisingly, comes off angelic. As does trainer Cus D’Amato, a father figure as much as an adviser, who fed him with the thirst for success. The account of the accidental death of his 4-yearold daughter, Exodus, is heartbreaking. But unlike shows by masters of the genre John Leguizamo, for instance this is a string of anecdotes leading nowhere.

When the audience arrives, the Longacre has been turned into a dance

”

club, with DJ Clark Kent spinning mostly Jay-Z from a box. The inside of the theater has been lazily decorated by Tim Mackabee with what looks like homemade banners from Brooklyn neighborhoods.

(Carroll Gardens? Really?)

Projections of photos and videos accompany Tyson’s soliloquies without adding much. Lee didn’t feel it necessary to find much archive footage. So when Tyson is talking about his tough childhood home, the screen is filled with a nice-looking complex it’s the new one built over the slum. (Lee shakes his camera to make it look ominous, but it’s futile.)

The stocky boxer opens the show seated in the dark as Nat King Cole’s “Nature Boy” plays, presumably to highlight the lyrics, “The greatest thing you’ll ever learn/Is just to love and be loved in return.”

“I promise if you listen and you really trust me, you’ll leave here with both ears tonight,” Tyson vows.

The theater is half-empty and it soon gets emptier.

Not everyone wants an earful of drivel. (Plus, there’s more interesting things outside, like a police car in case the Twitter threat turns real.)

There’s a funny story about Brad Pitt, who showed up one day as Givens’ date while Tyson was still sleeping with her.

The actor apparently looked pretty freaked out to see the muscular boxer. There’s another rambling tale about Tyson fighting fellow boxer Mitch Green while his rival was on angel dust (he never stayed down).

Tyson denies raping 18year-old Rhode Island beauty queen Desiree Washington. “I deserved to be punished for all the pain and humiliation I caused plenty of women. But I didn’t deserve the punishment I got from this women,” he says. That inexplicably leads to a funny story about Florence Henderson visiting him in prison.

It’s clear that Tyson is not a natural stage presence. He actually seems like a changed man and a sweet one, too, but his high voice and mumbling make it hard to hear even if you wanted to. He stumbles over words like “scrotum” and “abstinence” and blames Lee for salting the show with words to make him look smart.

eter Noone thought about starting a stamp collection when he was a young child.

Fortunately for music fans, he changed his mind.

The lead singer for 1960’s rock band Herman’s Hermits opted for a record collection while growing up in England — a hobby that put him on the path toward a music career that has lasted more than half a century.

“My choices were to either have a record collection or a stamp collection. I picked records … and this all started with me having a record collection and copying other singers and singing along with Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers,” said Noone, who is slated to headline Saturday’s Spectacular Summer Cruise-in and Concert at the Miami Valley Centre Mall in Piqua. “We were inspired by listening to wonderful, great people like Johnny Cash and Jackie Wilson.”

Noone — who tours as Herman’s Hermits Starring Peter Noone — is scheduled to take the stage at 7 p.m.

The singer/songwriter’s lengthy career in the music industry began in the early 1960s, and the band’s widespread popularity helped them soar to the top of the music charts as part of the “British Invasion.” By the mid 1960s, Herman’s Hermits had churned out hits ranging from “I’m Into Something Good” and “Mrs. Brown, You’ve Got a Lovely

Daughter” to “There’s a Kind of Hush.”

Although Noone left the band in 1971, he continues to perform regularly in front of crowds across the globe and said he’s pleased to see the band stay relevant so many years later.

“That whole British Invasion stuff has a long shelf life,” Noone said during a phone interview Wednesday from Milwaukee, Wis., where he performed at the Wisconsin State Fair. “It was such an attractive period. It was a music, fashion and cultural revolution, and all of that took place at the same time. I was the only one from the whole crowd who had an accent on their album, which was kind of charming. Plus, I’ve outlived all my competition, so it’s been very good for me.”

He said his band continues to pick up fans wherever it performs.

“Someone once told me that 90 percent of the audience has never seen you before, and a good 85 percent have never heard your songs before. They’ve heard you on the radio, but didn’t know that it’s you,” he continued. “We’re constantly going out and trying to create a new audience … and we continue to get young people who join the fan club. We’ve got a load of young fans. It’s astonishing.”

Noone said fans at Saturday’s Spectacular Summer Cruise-in and Concert can expect to hear the band’s hit songs, as well as a few surprises.

“We don’t have a set list, but we do all of our best hits — all of the ones that were hits in America — and we’ll do a few sing-a-longs, too.

It’s just good, fun music,” he said.

“Plus, we do a load of other people’s stuff.”

His band, he added, is a top-notch group of musicians with one goal in mind — to make sure everyone has fun.

“I think this is the best band I’ve ever had,” he said, noting that most of the band members have been touring with him for several years. “We do 150 concerts a year … and the only requirement to be a Hermit is that you have to have a massive amount of enthusiasm.”

For Noone, he’s certainly got that part covered.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

You are not responsible for her birth control expenses Dear Annie: My husband and I are the parents of a 15-year-old boy. "Will" is a good student. He has been in a friendly relationship with a 15-year-old girl, and it has become serious. They have had sex on two different occasions, and Will used a condom both times.

There was a brief pregnancy scare, and the girl was so concerned that she told her parents about her predicament. Now her father wants us to pay for her birth control pills. I don't know what to say about this. I don't know what type of insurance they have. And I think putting her on the pill is saying, "Great, have sex." And who knows whether she will have partners other than my son. Is he responsible for her birth control? What should I do?

— His Mom Dear Mom: It's a good sign that your son feels comfortable discussing his sex life with you, but it is unfair to believe that a girl on birth control pills is going to be more promiscuous than a boy using condoms. And while we aren't crazy about 15-year-olds having sex, once they start, they aren't likely to stop.

You should be relieved that both kids are being responsible about using protection to prevent not only pregnancy, but also sexually transmitted diseases. That said, you are not obligated to pay for his girlfriend's choice of birth control. He should continue to use condoms. Her body belongs to her.

Dear Annie: My 62-year-old husband and I have been married for 25 years. For the past 11, he has owned a small yet profitable bar. While he doesn't do much hands-on work anymore, he still supervises the bartenders and the business.

Here's the problem. My husband drives home drunk at least once a week. There are taxi services that easily could pick him up and return him the next day, but he prefers to drive himself.

I have threatened to leave. I've threatened to toss his belongings in the yard. I've even threatened to call the cops. But I haven't done any of those things, and he knows my threats are empty.

Most of the time, he denies that he was drunk, and we go silent for a few days, not speaking at all.

I have stressed what he is putting at risk. It's his job to prevent this with his customers, yet he's somehow above it all. Last night was the last straw. Since it's never a good idea to talk to drunk people, I let him know I was angry and then went to bed. He is setting a horrible example for our 21-year-old son. Any suggestions?

— The Drunk's Wife Dear Wife: You both are setting a horrible example. As long as there are no consequences for his behavior, your husband will continue to drive drunk. Please don't wait for the consequences to be deadly. Follow through on some of those threats, particularly the one about calling the police.

He may become angry, but you could be saving his life, as well as the lives of other drivers. Also contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) and get some emotional support.

Dear Annie: As a cancer survivor, I would like to thank you for your wonderful response to "Clueless on Cancer Etiquette."

I'd like to add two more suggestions: First, please don't comment on how people look. Just say, "It's good to see you." And finally, I was reluctant to make requests when people said, "What can I do for you?" Instead, please offer choices such as: "I want to wash your car, work in your yard, bring a home-cooked meal or clean house while you are at the doctor's. Which do you prefer?" One neighbor brought easy, quick meals and just dropped them off.

Actually, she rang the doorbell and left. It was the sweetest thing. — K. Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

SUDOKU PUZZLE

HOW TO PLAY: Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively. Find answers to today’s puzzle in tomorrow’s Troy Daily News.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Try this homemade ‘recipe’ for cleaning grout Dear Heloise: You printed a recipe for cleaning grout using borax and something else. I lost it. Could you reprint it? I really enjoy your hints. — Ann in Houston I am happy to help, and it’s pretty easy. The grout-cleaner recipe is this: Mix 1/2 cup of baking soda with 1/4 cup of borax. Add hot water until it makes a thick paste. Apply to grout. Gently scrub with a soft brush and let sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing.

Do you have other areas you want to know how to clean?

Order my pamphlet Heloise’s Homemade Cleaning Solutions by sending $5 and a long, selfaddressed, stamped (65 cents)

Hints from Heloise Columnist envelope to: Heloise/Cleaners, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001. To clean a rust stain from iron in the water on a porcelain tub, dip half a lemon into borax and scrub the surface. Rinse well when done. — Heloise P.S.: Be sure to wear rubber gloves, and don’t splash it in your eyes.

TRAVEL FOLLOW-UP Dear Readers: A previous column contained a travel hint about using an ironing board at a hotel as a table in a pinch.

Peg in New Jersey said: “I disagree about using an ironing board as a table for food.

Nothing but clean clothes should ever be placed on an ironing board. Just think of the mess/stains that would be on your clothes if you decided to use the ironing board and the person before you had an ’Oops!’ because he or she spilled something and couldn’t or didn’t clean it well.”

This is a different point of view. Using the ironing board as a table is still good, but put

down a towel or tablecloth before using.

If you do spill, let the hotel housekeeping know so that the cover may be cleaned or replaced. — Heloise SHOWER SHOCKER Dear Heloise: When I shower, I like using liquid soap or shower gel. It often is cold to the touch, even though my bathroom is warm. Is there any way to quickly warm it up? — Margaret in Cleveland Margaret, you’re right! Just hold the bottle under the running warm water in your shower for a couple of minutes.

Or fill the sink with hot water and put the bottle of soap in to get it warm. — Heloise

A lovely, social year awaits you.

All relationships will be blessed.

Government won’t prosecute Goldman Sachs in fraud probe WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department said Thursday it won’t prosecute Wall Street firm Goldman Sachs or its employees in a financial fraud probe.

In a written statement, the department said it conducted an exhaustive investigation of allegations brought to light by a Senate panel investigating the 2008-2009 financial crisis.

“The department and investigative agencies ultimately concluded that the burden of proof to bring a criminal case could not be met based on the law and facts as they exist at this time,” the department said.

But the department added that if additional or new evidence were to emerge, it could reach a different conclusion about prosecuting Goldman if warranted.

A Senate subcommittee chaired by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., in April 2011 found that Goldman marketed four sets of complex mortgage securities to banks and other investors but that the firm failed to tell clients that the secu-

rities were very risky. The Senate panel said Goldman secretly bet against the investors’ positions and deceived the investors about its own positions to shift risk from its balance sheet to theirs.

The Justice Department’s decision capped a good day for Goldman as the Securities and Exchange Commission decided not to file charges against the firm over a $1.3 billion subprime mortgage portfolio. At the same time, the Justice Department’s decision ensured that the Obama administration will continue to feel political heat, particularly from the liberal wing of the president’s own party, for not having brought more prosecutions in the financial crisis.

The Senate panel probe turned up company emails showing Goldman employees deriding complex mortgage securities sold to banks and other investors as “junk” and “crap.”

Levin said during his subcommittee’s investigation that he believed that Goldman executives “misled the

Congress” and that Goldman “gained at the expense of their clients and they used abusive practices to do it.”

Levin questioned the accuracy of testimony Goldman Sachs executives gave to Congress about whether the firm steered investors toward mortgage securities it knew likely would fail.

Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein told the Senate panel that the company didn’t bet against its clients and couldn’t survive without their trust.

The company lost $1.2 billion in the mortgage meltdown in 2007 and 2008 that touched off the financial crisis and the worst recession since the 1930s, Blankfein testified. He also insisted that Goldman wasn’t making an aggressive negative bet or short sale on the mortgage market’s slide.

In 2010, Goldman agreed to pay $550 million to settle civil fraud charges by the SEC of misleading buyers of mortgage-related securities. The agreement applied to one of the four deals cited by the Senate subcommittee.

Doctor accused of ‘waterboarding’ daughter DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware pediatrician who has appeared on national television to discuss his research involving neardeath experiences with children is charged with endangering the lives of his own daughters, one of whom told investigators she was subjected to waterboarding.

Dr. Melvin Morse and his wife, Pauline, were charged with several felony counts Tuesday after their 11-yearold daughter told investigators her father had subjected her to “waterboarding” several times by holding her face under a running faucet.

Waterboarding simulates drowning and it has been used in the past by U.S. interrogators on terror suspects.

Many critics call it torture.

Acting upon a complaint by the Delaware attorney general’s office, state officials on Thursday ordered the emergency suspension of Morse’s medical license.

Morse, who has authored

several books and articles on paranormal science and near-death experiences, has appeared on shows such as “Larry King Live” and the “The Oprah Winfrey Show” to discuss his research, which also has been featured on an episode of “Unsolved Mysteries” and in an article in “Rolling Stone” magazine.

Morse’s Web site, http://spiritualscientific.com, is strewn with ramblings about God, love, family and death.

At the time of Tuesday’s arrest, Morse, 58, was out on bail on misdemeanor charges of assault and endangering the welfare of a child. Those charges stemmed from a July incident in which authorities allege Morse grabbed the 11year-old by the ankle and, as her 6-year-old sister watched, dragged her across a gravel driveway, took her inside the family’s home and began spanking her.

When she was interviewed again Monday, the

older girl told investigators that beginning in 2009, her father had disciplined her by what he told her was “waterboarding.” State police said the girl was subjected to such punishment at least four times and that her mother witnessed some of the incidents but did not stop them.

Joe Hurley, an attorney representing Morse on charges stemming from the driveway incident, cast doubt on some of the latest allegations.

“Whatever’s being described is not waterboarding,” said Hurley, who has not spoken to Morse since Tuesday’s arrests. “I think that’s an attention-getter.

I’m not sure where that came from or how that developed.”

Hurley said the 11-yearold has some “opposition issues” and had complained to her parents several years ago about being abused by a half-sibling. He said the parents contacted authorities

and the half-sibling was arrested, but that the girl confessed months later that the incident never happened and that she just didn’t want the half-sibling living in the house.

Melvin Morse was being held Thursday on $14,500 secured bail.

His wife was released previously on $14,500 unsecured bail. Both were ordered to have no contact with their two daughters or with each other. They face a preliminary hearing on Aug. 16.

On the same day he was arrested on child endangerment charges July 13, Morse also was charged with terroristic threatening after allegedly threatening in May to kill a 65-year-old man.

Hurley said he was told by a deputy attorney general that the terroristic threatening charge, which prosecutors dropped a week after it was filed, involved a New Castle County attorney.

BY DAVID FONG Executive Editor fong@tdnpublishing.com Make no mistake, new Troy football coach Scot Brewer is hoping to see the best his team possibly has to offer in its opening scrimmage Saturday at Troy Memorial Stadium.

However, if a few weaknesses get exposed in the Trojans’ scrimmage against Reynoldsburg at 10 a.m.

Saturday, that may not necessarily be such a bad thing.

“We were looking at the film from Reynoldsburg last year — we didn’t look very good,” Brewer said.

TROY TROJAN FOOTBALL BLOG The Trojan Football Daily Blog will make its season debut Sunday at www.troydailynews.com. Click on the Trojan Football Daily Button to receive daily updates, not only about this year’s team from Troy Daily News executive editor David Fong, but also for historical looks at former Troy football players and teams.

It bears mentioning that the Trojans recovered from that scrimmage to go 8-3 and reach the Division I, Region 3 playoffs.

That, Brewer said, is the beauty of preseason scrimmages —

they allow coaches to get a full assessment of their rosters in games that don’t actually count in the standings.

“Scrimmages are where we find out whose going to go out and hit somebody,” Brewer said.

“It’s where you find out how kids are going to react in game situations. You don’t always get that in practices.”

This year, Troy’s two scrimmages — against Reynoldsburg Saturday and at home against Dunbar at 7 p.m. Aug. 17 — will serve as an open casting call unlike any seen in recent years in the Troy football program.

Indians on a roll Jimenez Ks 10 in win CLEVELAND (AP) — Ubaldo Jimenez struck out a season-high 10 for his first win in more than a month and the Cleveland Indians beat Boston 5-3 on Thursday night, handing the Red Sox their seventh loss in nine games.

Jimenez (9-11) allowed three runs over six innings as Cleveland won its second straight after losing 11 in a row. He had been 0-4 with an 8.41 ERA in five starts since beating Tampa Bay on July 7.

The Indians took a 4-3 lead against Felix Doubront (10-6) with a three-run fifth.

Chris Perez earned his 30th save in 34 chances for Cleveland, which fired pitching coach Scott Radinsky before the game. Perez pitched a perfect ninth after blowing saves Sunday and Tuesday, allowing eight runs over 1 1-3 innings in those two outings.

The Reds led the Cubs 3-1 through five innings of play. The game was not complete at time of press.

All about improving Troy girls return many from last year

BY JOSH BROWN Sports Editor jbrown@tdnpublishing.com For the Troy Trojans, it’s all about improving.

And with the experience they have coming back this season — a group that has already shown it has the ability to improve — that shouldn’t be an issue.

“I’m excited to see what we can do this year, both individually and as a team,” second-year Troy coach Eric Nawroth said. “We should be stronger this season. I’m looking forward to seeing how we stack up, particularly in the Greater Western Ohio Conference.”

And what better way to do just that than the GWOC preseason tournament? The team’s season

MIAMI COUNTY kicks off today at Beechwood in Arcanum — the site of some of the most visible improvements the Trojans made last year.

“We improved from the beginning of the season to the end last year, and that’s the most fun part about coaching — seeing the improvement from start to finish,” Nawroth said.

Last season, the girls kicked off with a ninth-place finish at the GWOC preview, shooting a 450. By year’s end at the GWOC postseason tournament — on the same OHIO COMMUNITY MEDIA FILE PHOTO/MIKE ULLERY course — they moved up a spot to eighth and, more importantly, Troy’s Allison Brown is one of four girls returning for the Trojans this season.

■ Boxing

Shields wins gold LONDON (AP) — Claressa Shields ducked one punch, deftly leaned away from another, and stuck her tongue out at her Russian opponent. Just an American teenager having a little fun.

After all, Nadezda Torlopova is nearly twice Shields’ age and about half her speed. And Shields had to laugh at any boxer trying to get between her and a historic Olympic gold medal.

The 17-year-old middleweight from Flint, Mich., beat Torlopova 19-12 on Thursday, capping her rapid ascent through women’s boxing with a title in its Olympic debut.

“This was something I wanted for a long time, even when boxing wasn’t going all right, even when my life wasn’t going all right,” said Shields, who found sanctuary in a boxing gym during a rough childhood.

“All I wanted was a gold medal, and I kept working towards it, even when people were saying I couldn’t do it.

I’m too young. I couldn’t do it. There were girls who were going to beat me because of better experience, more experience. I proved them all wrong.”

Shields did it in style — shuffle-stepping, brawling and even winning over a crowd that showed up to cheer Irish lightweight Katie Taylor and British flyweight Nicola Adams, who also won gold medals.

U.S. goes 1-2 in two events

Won’t be denied U.S. holds off Japan for gold in World Cup rematch WEMBLEY, England (AP) — Hope Solo found herself enveloped in a group hug at the final whistle. Abby Wambach ran to join the fun in a celebration that unleashed a year of bottled-up frustration.

The U.S. women’s football team won its third straight Olympic gold medal Thursday, beating Japan 2-1 in a rematch of last year’s World Cup final and avenging the most painful loss in its history.

Carli Lloyd scored early in both halves, Solo leaped and dived to make saves, and the entire roster found the redemption it had been seeking since that penalty kick shootout loss in Germany last summer.

“This is the dream that we’ve all been thinking about and feeling for the last year since the World Cup,” Wambach said.

Before 80,203 at Wembley Stadium, a record crowd for a women’s football game at the Olympics, the teams put on a backand-forth, don’t-turn-your-head football showcase, proving again that these are the two premier teams in the world. Women’s football is still in its formative stages in Britain, but the match proved more than worthy for the hallowed grounds of the beautiful game.

“I just kept pounding my chest, going ‘Guys, this is only about heart.

We’ll all tired, every player on the field. Twenty-two players on the field are tired,” Wambach said. “It’s about who wants it more, right here, right now. And today we proved that we did.”

The Japanese perhaps played just as beautifully as the Americans, using their speed and discipline to dominate possession and scoring chances for long stretches before finally cutting a 2-0 deficit in half with about a half-hour to go.

“The result was tough on us, but I’m glad to get a medal,” Yukari

United States’ Megan Rapinoe (15) celebrates with teammates after winning gold in London.

Kinga said. “We just wanted to challenge ourselves. We weren’t relaxed but we weren’t nervous. We just wanted to enjoy the game. We didn’t give up until the very last moment.”

Back home, America was paying attention just as it was last year and despite the rest of the Olympic events. Even President Barack Obama, during a campaign speech at Colorado College during the second half of the game, noted that, “The women are doing pretty good right now in soccer.”

Lloyd’s goals came in eighth and 54th minutes, making it four goals in the tournament for the midfielder who lost her long-held starting job weeks before the Olympics. She got back on the pitch when Shannon Boxx injured her hamstring in the opening game and started every game since.

Yuki Ogimi answered in the 63rd minute, and Asuna Tanaka nearly had the equalizer in the 83rd only to be thwarted when Solo flung her entire body to the left to push the ball away.

The U.S. team has won four of the five Olympic titles since women’s football was introduced at the 1996 Atlanta Games, settling for mere silver at the 2000 Games in Sydney.

In the first half, Japan was unfortunate not to have a penalty kick

awarded for a clear hand ball by U.S. midfielder Tobin Heath, who stuck out her left arm to stop a free kick inside the area.

Japan also had two shots hit the crossbar, one off the left hand of a leaping Solo, who was kept consistently busy for the first time this tournament. The closest the U.S. came to doubling the lead in the first 45 minutes came when Azusa Iwashimizu attempted to clear a routine ball played in front of the net and headed it off the post.

The U.S. goal in the eighth minute began with a run by Heath down the left side. She fed Alex Morgan, who settled the ball near the goal line, spun and chipped it toward Wambach. Wambach raised her left foot for the shot, but Lloyd charged in and got to it first, her strong running header beating goalkeeper Miho Fukumoto from 6 yards out.

Lloyd extended the lead with a 20yard right-footer just inside the left post after a long run with the ball through the middle of the Japanese defense.

Ogimi soon cut the deficit to one after a mad scramble in front of the net. Captain Christie Rampone saved a shot off the line, but the ball went to Homare Sawa, who fed Ogimi for the tap-in.

Another scramble followed after U.S. defender Amy LePeilbet saved yet another shot off the line in the 74th minute, but this time her teammates were able to corral the ball before a Japanese player could pounce on it.

Boxx was back into the starting lineup after the missing four games with the hamstring injury. Lauren Cheney, who injured an ankle in the semifinals, began the game on the bench for the first time this tournament.

Canada won the bronze earlier Thursday, beating France 1-0 at Coventry.

LONDON (AP) — When the stakes are the biggest, the spotlight most bright, Usain Bolt is as good as gold.

Good as there’s ever been.

Putting the field far enough behind that he could slow up over the last few strides and put his left index finger to his mouth to tell any critics to shush, Bolt won the 200 meters in 19.32 seconds Thursday night, making him the only man with two Olympic titles in that event.

He added it to the 100 gold he won Sunday, duplicating the 100-200 double he produced at the Beijing Games four years ago. The only difference? In 2008, Bolt broke world records in both.

This time, Bolt led a Jamaican sweep, with his training partner and pal Yohan Blake getting the silver in 19.44, and Warren Weir taking the bronze in 19.84 more than a half-second behind the champion.

“The guy is just on another planet right now,” Wallace Spearmon, the American who finished fourth in 19.90, said between sobs of disappointment.

Afterward, Bolt had plenty of energy left, dropping to the track to do five pushups one for each of his Olympic gold medals so far. Ever the showman, he bent down and kissed the track, then did it again a few minutes later, and also grabbed a camera from someone in the photographers’ well and trained it at the group clicking away.

Bolt’s stated goal heading to London was to become a “living legend,” and, well, he’s making a pretty good case for himself, even if International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge said a few hours before the 200 final that it’s too early to make such determinations.

Bolt’s 19.30 in the 200 final at Beijing still stands as the Olympic record and certainly would have been eclipsed Thursday with a full-fledged sprint through the finish but Bolt bettered that with a 19.19 at the 2009 world championships, where he also set the current 100 record.

Elsewhere Thursday, Americans went 1-2 in the decathlon (Ashton Eaton and Trey Hardee) and the triple jump (Christian Taylor and Will Claye), raising the U.S. track and field total with three days to go to 24 medals, one higher than the country’s Beijing total.

■ Basketball

Americans beat Aussies in semis LONDON (AP) — Now this was something new.

The U.S. women’s basketball team faced its first Olympic halftime deficit in 12 years Thursday night as it tried to reach the gold medal game for the fifth straight time.

Not to worry.

The Americans took a deep breath at the break, then used a pivotal 16-6 scoring run sparked by the their defensive pressure to rally for an 86-73 win over Australia.

U.S. coach Geno Auriemma turned to his Olympic rookies to lead the way.

The group led by Tina Charles and Lindsay Whalen pressured Australia into turnovers and bad shots, helping the

U.S. reach the title game for the fifth straight time.

“We came out in the second half and once we got control of the game, it took off from there,” Auriemma said. “It just illustrates it’s only one night. If you have a great night and the U.S. has a poor shooting night or defensive night there goes the tournament.”

Australia didn’t have a great night, but they had a great half.

Behind the inside play of 6-foot-8 Liz Cambage, the Australians shot 61 percent and led 47-43 at halftime. But with a chance at another gold medal on the line, an inspired U.S. squad regained the lead behind the play of the reserves, harrassing Australia into

just 4 of 18 shooting from the field in the third quarter.

The Americans will play either France or Russia for the title. It will be the first time since 1996 that the Americans won’t be facing Australia for the gold.

“We knew before that to win the gold you have to beat Australia whether it’s in the semifinal or the finals,” Auriemma said.

Australia went right at the U.S. with Cambage leading the way but the Americans’ depth and pressure defense were the difference again.

The Australian’s budding star scored 19 points in the first half, she was scoreless in the second half.

Girls Golf ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 the team score with a 441.

Caroline Elsass-Smith, a returning sophomore, showed some of the biggest improvement on the Beechwood course, shooting a 130 to start the season and a 110 to finish.

And Morgan McKinney, a junior and another returner, went from 116 to 109 from preseason to postseason.

“A lot of times, you don’t get to see the same course twice in a year like that,” Nawroth said. “It’s nice to have the chance to measure our improvement — to put a number beside it — from beginning to end.”

Also back is the consistent Allison Brown, the only returning varsity senior, and another talented sophomore in Caitlin Dowling. And while that quartet will be the varsity starting corps all year, sisters Taylor and Victoria Ries will also see playing

time, and will be starting at the GWOC preseason tournament today. Taylor Ries is a senior, while Victoria Ries is a junior.

“I think the GWOC preseason tournament helps so far as expectations,” Nawroth said. “If we can beat some of the teams there, we’ll expect to beat them again when we play them in the regular season.

And if we’re maybe not up to par with, say, a Centerville at the tournament, then when we play them we can focus more on ourselves and our game instead of worrying about beating them.”

And on the golf course, concentrating on your own game can be all the matters.

“We want to focus on us and have us improve, both personally and as a team,” Nawroth said. “We want to shoot the best score we possibly can any way we can — if we aren’t hitting the ball well, then we need to

work on our short game around the green. We need to find a way.”

• Tippecanoe Expectations are high at Tippecanoe this year.

With the firepower the Red Devils are bringing back to the course this year, there’s no questions as to why.

“The team should be very successful with the top four scorers returning from last year’s Central Buckeye Conference championship team,” Tippecanoe coach Scott Murray said. “Each of the returners have improved over the summer, and expectations are fairly high.”

Back is junior Lindsey Murray — a two-time state qualifier and all-Ohio golfer — as well as seniors Kristy Kagy and Kayla Vath, both with multiple all-CBC awards. Also back is sophomore Erika Brownlee after an all-CBC season. A trio of freshmen

— Alli Chitwood, Tori Merrick and Sammie Rowland — will add depth to the squad.

“Each of the freshmen has shown good promise with their play early on,” Murray said. “The team should be in contention to win the CBC, a few invitationals, the Division I Sectional and greatly improve its performance as the state qualifier at Weatherwax.”

• Miami East Miami East’s girls have a quartet of returners that will all be gunning for the top spot on the team — with the team, in turn, gunning for the top spot in the Cross County Conference.

Seniors Tori Nuss and Allison Kindell and juniors Macaleh Thompson and Sam Denlinger return from last year’s team, and all have been working hard in the offseason to bring a CCC title home for the Vikings. Senior Jeni Slone

and freshmen Keira Fellers will round out the squad.

“Tori is a senior this year and has been playing well this summer, and Allie (Kindell) has had a good summer and continues to improve,” Miami East coach Tom Meyer said.

“Macaleh and Sam will be in the running, as well.

“Our goal again this year is a CCC title.”

• Covington With four returning letterwinners back this season, Covington girls golf coach Ron Schultz is very optimistic entering the season.

Headlining the Buccs’ roster are a pair of threetime All-Cross County Conference selections in seniors Cassie Ingle and Jamie Crowell. Senior Katie Blair, who is a twotime letterwinner for the Buccs, returns, as will senior Jordan Blanton. Toss in Allison Ingle, who was also an All-CCC performer last season, and the Buccs

nucleus is solid.

Juniors Morgan McReynolds and Haley Adams, sophomores Heather Spurgeon and Kim Young will compete for spots on varsity, as will freshmen Jessie Crowell and Sydney Blanton.

“The hopes are high,” Schultz said. “National Trail was the big team in the league last year. They made it out of district and I think finished sixth in state. I don’t even think they had enough girls out to field a team this year.”

“But we have our top four back, and hopefully the new girls will step up.

Cassie has played a lot all summer — and she has really played well. On paper, we look good. We have high ambitions for this season.”

The Buccs open the season on Monday, hosting the Covington Eagles/ Lady Buccs Invitational ‘Pink Out’ at Echo Hills Golf Course.

Pettersson leads PGA

Browns’ Richardson undergoes surgery

Tiger in the mix after first day KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP) — Five years ago, a leading golf publication chose Kiawah Island as the toughest golf course in America. Some of the best players in the world made it feel like a walk on the beach Thursday in the PGA Championship.

There was no wind in the morning when Carl Pettersson made three birdies on the opening four holes, and not even a freshening breeze could keep the self-proclaimed Swedish redneck from a bogey-free round of 6-under 66. It was his first time in 21 tries to break 70 in the PGA Championship, and it gave him a one-shot lead.

Rory McIlroy was on the practice range in what he described as “flat calm.”

“I really thought that I had to take advantage of the conditions,” said McIlroy, who did just that in a bogey-free round of 67, fresh signs that the 23-yearold from Northern Ireland might be ready to end his major season on a high note.

A hot but picturesque day along the coast of South Carolina even brought John Daly back into the picture at the major where he first came to prominence 21 years ago. Daly, who hasn’t had his PGA Tour card in six years, made an eagle

BEREA (AP) — Trent Richardson won’t play in the Browns’ first preseason game.

Cleveland, though, hopes the heralded rookie will be able to rebound from left knee surgery in time for the season opener.

“We anticipate that Trent will make a speedy recovery, and we are hopeful that he will be ready for our Week 1 game against Philadelphia,” coach Pat Shurmur said Thursday in a statement issued by the team.

Carl Pettersson watches his drive on the 14th tee during the first round of the PGA Championship golf tournament on the Ocean Course of the Kiawah Island Golf Resort on Thursday in Kiawah Island, S.C. putt and very few mistakes for a 68.

Pete Dye’s intimidating Ocean Course might still get the best of them in the final major of the year. But for one day, it was there for the taking.

McIlroy, Gary Woodland, Gonzalo FernandezCastano of Spain and Alex Noren of Sweden each had a 67.

It was a good day for Tiger Woods, nothing more.

Despite having to get upand-down for bogey on three holes, he made enough birdie putts for a 69, a reasonable start as he tries to end the longest drought of

his career in the majors.

This is his 14th major since he won his last one in 2008, and the last one of an otherwise good season.

“Anything in the 60s is going to be a good start in a major championship,” Woods said. “And I’m right there.”

• LPGA SYLVANIA, Ohio (AP) — It was unofficially international day at the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic.

The leaderboard might not have had many household names after the first round Thursday, but the leader and her closest pursuers included players rep-

resenting Sweden, France, Japan, South Korea, Thailand and the United States.

Pernilla Lindberg holed birdie putts of 40 and 50 feet and added three 25footers in a round of 7under 64 to take a two-shot lead after the opening round at Highland Meadows Golf Club.

A top early contender to make the European side at the 2013 Solheim Cup, the Swede is virtually unknown in the States, even though she played at Oklahoma State and is in her third year on the LPGA Tour.

Miami Shores will not be the only home course for Troy this season. Thanks to the help of Kyle Courtright, the Trojans were able to book the Troy Country Club for five matches — including a showdown with Tippecanoe on Aug. 20. The Trojans will start the season, though, at the Greater Western Ohio Conference Preview at Beechwood in Arcanum on Friday.

• Milton-Union Milton-Union has one big advantage heading into the 2012 season.

And one big week to try it out.

The Bulldogs bring four players back from last year’s Southwestern Buckeye League championship team, and they are looking to repeat — as well as go deeper in the postseason.

Back are senior Nick Simpson, juniors Josh Martin and Mitch Gooslin and sophomore Joey Smedley, while Sean Lorton and Zach Glodrey will round out the lineup.

“When you play six players and count your top four — and bring four guys back from a championship team — that’s a good thing,” Milton-Union coach Andy Grafflin said. “Now we just need some guys that were

on JV last year to step up and fill those five and six spots.

“Our No. 1 goal is to repeat as SWBL champs, to qualify as a team to the district tournament and send an individual to state. And each player has set individual goals, like earning allleague or shooting a target score. But those are our goals every year.”

The Bulldogs will be put to the test early, with four tournaments and a huge SWBL match in the first week alone. They begin play at the Homan on Monday, followed by a match against SWBL contender Waynesville, followed by three more tournaments to round out the week.

• Miami East Former Miami East player, former Graham girls golf coach — and son of the most recent Viking coach — Kyle Vanover takes over the boys team this season looking to bring pride and desire back to Miami East golf.

“I have a great group of young kids, and they’re bringing the dedication back to Miami East golf,” Vanover said. “They’ve put a lot of time in, and it’s exciting having kids that want to do well, want to compete, want to practice — and want to

win. It makes my job easier.”

Junior Austin Garrison is the oldest member of the eight-man squad, while Vanover is looking at sophomore Ryan Bergman as the team’s No. 1 golfer. Scott Kirby, Kley Karadak, Mack Rose, Devin Carson, Nathan Peters and Zach Ostendorf fill out the team full of freshmen and sophomores — and potential.

“These kids are wanting to compete and win, and they’re willing to put the time in to do that,” Vanover said. “We’ve never won the Cross County Conference before, and our goal is to win it this year and for the next couple of years. I’m not predicting that that’s a certainty, but we should be right there. We’re going to open some eyes. There are some good things in the future for Miami East golf.”

• Bethel Not only does Bethel have the numbers, it has the experience, too.

Seniors Mike Green, Tyler Juday and Brandon James all return to lead the Bees this season, along with juniors Jacob Pytel and Thomas Stevens, giving Bethel five returning varsity lettermen amongst the 12 golfers looking to make some noise in the Cross

■ CONTINUED FROM 15 With the loss of seven starters on each side of the ball, a host of new faces will get the chance to prove their worth in scrimmages.

Offensively, the Trojans were hit hardest at the skill positions.

Gone at quarterback is Cody May, a two-year starter who became just the second quarterback in school history to throw for 1,000 yards or more in back-to-back seasons.

Gone at receiver is Ian Dunaway, a three-year starter who graduated with the third-highest career receiving total in school history. Gone at the halfback spots are Marcus Foster and Isaiah Williams, both three-year starters. Zach Jones, a two-year starter at fullback, also graduated.

Along the offensive line, the Trojans lost Ethan

Hargrove, another threeyear starter.

Defensively, the Trojans suffered huge losses at inside linebacker, noseguard and in the defensive backfield. At inside linebacker, the Trojans lost Chris Blair and Zach Butcher, both three-year starters who led the Trojans in tackles each of the past two seasons. At noseguard, Troy lost Alex Sears, a threeyear starter. In the defensive backfield, the Trojans lost Foster — who will play at the University of Cincinnati this season — and Seth Lucas, a twoyear starter.

“We’ll get a good look at what everyone can do in the scrimmages,” Brewer said.

Troy opens the regular season at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 24 against Chaminade Julienne at Troy Memorial Stadium.

Boys Golf ■ CONTINUED FROM 15 separated themselves from the others,” Mercer said. “All of them have experience at the varsity level — and experience helps.”

After playing mainly junior varsity last year, sophomore Matt Monnin is expected to be competing for a spot on varsity. Senior Dylan Cascaden — who showed he has the ability to strike a ball well during baseball season for the Trojans — will compete on varsity, as well.

“He (Dylan) has not played with us very much,” Mercer said. “He just got off a summer where he played a ton of legion ball (for Troy Post 43). His first time out playing was this past Sunday.

“But he’s an athlete, a very athletic kid. He’s came out and did well so far.”

Mercer also said he thinks freshman Troy Moore will get some playing time of varsity this season.

Sophomore Grant Kassler and senior Kyle Croft will be other candidates for the final varsity spots.

“Kyle is a senior who has been with the program for four years now,” Mercer said.

“If he can be a little more consistent, I think he will be a good varsity player.”

County Conference. “(Green, Juday and James) have been with us for all four years, all will be three-year lettermen and all have varsity experience,” Bethel coach Brett Brookhart said. “Mike and Tyler earned special and honorable mention allleague last year.”

Freshman Tyler Brookhart will also add depth to the growing team immediately.

“Our numbers are very good with 12 golfers out.

With the experience we have back from last year, along with a couple of good freshmen, I would like to see improvement from last year’s record and place in the CCC,” Brookhart said.

• Covington After capturing its first sectional title in school history last season, the core of that team returns for Covington — including No. 1 golfer and Cross County Conference medalist Sam Slusher.

Sophomore Joe Slusher, along with seniors E.J. Seder and Ryan Craft — all letterwinners last season — return for the Buccs, while senior Ben Sherman and sophomore Jacob Blair should be on the varsity roster, as well.

Senior Tres Wilt is expected to challenge for a spot on varsity, along with Ty Boehringer, Cody Boggs and freshman newcomer Levi Winn.

“We feel that if we can shoot consistent all year, then we will challenge (for the CCC title),” Covington coach Bill Wise said. “I think we will have a good chance.”

The Buccs open the season at the Homan Invitational on Monday, before hosting the Dan Kendig on Wednesday.

• Newton Newton’s golf team returns to the course this season with little experience but a focus on strengthening the mental aspects of golfing.

Senior Bobby Gerodimos will be looked at to lead the Indians this year, averaging a 45 per nine holes. Junior Ben Kieth will back Gerodimos up, followed by a trio of freshmen.

“Our main focus is going to be the mental strength of golf,” Newton coach Randall Jamison said. “We have a young team with great potential. Last year, we didn’t have enough players to make a team, so I’m trying to create interest for the future of golf at Newton. So far, so good.”
