State honors

Anna grad killed in kayaking Top 50 fundraiser, outstanding volunteer awards given at Relay for Life accident BY KATHY LEESE In spite of some rain that fell early Saturday morning, partipants in the annual Shelby County Relay for Life stayed focused on the cause and raised a grand total of an estimated $177,402.02 for the American Cancer Society. And while the walkers were walking for a cure, the local event was honored for its achievements during the past year and a volunteer was named the Outstanding American Cancer Society volunteer. Rhonda Pence, co-chairman of the local relay, was named Outstanding American Cancer Society Volunteer. The Shelby County Relay for Life received an award as one of the state of Ohio’s top 50 fundrasiers. Pence said she was surprised by the award. “(I) absolutely had no clue … total shock.” Pence said she was “very, very humbled by the award. I don’t do this for recognition.” Pence said she participates because cancer has touched so many of her family members. Her mother, Sandra Beckstedt, is a 12-year cancer survivor; she lost her dad, George Beckstedt, to cancer four years ago; her sister, Elicia Simmons, lost her battle with cancer three years ago at the age of 39; and her stepmother, Jackie Davidson, died three years ago from cancer. While this year’s grand total was less than last year’s grand total of $192,257.29, money is still coming in See RELAY/Page 11

GOLDENDALE, Wash. — A former Sidney-area resident and photography intern for the SidDaily ney News died last week in a kayaking accident in Washington state. Schwer Christopher Alan Schwer, 27, of Morgantown, W.Va., had been kayaking with local friends when the incident occurred, according to a news release from the Klickitat County Sheriff’s Office that appeared in the Yakima Herald-Republic. His body was recovered about 7 p.m. Thursday. Schwer died Wednesday after becoming wedged under water in a log jam on the White Salmon River in Klickitat County. The incident was reported about two miles north of BZ Corner about 8 p.m. in a stretch of heavy rapids in a deep gorge, according to the news release. Recovery efforts had to wait until Thursday. “For Chris, kayaking wasn’t just a recreational activity, but a way of life and part of who he was. Chris was well known for his contagious smile, genuine compassion and love of the outdoors. He believed that God was most visible in love and nature,” said his beloved Ashley Yeager and his parents, Greg and Rita Schwer, in a statement released to the newspaper. Schwer was a photo intern at the Sidney Daily News for six months in 2008. According to his Facebook site, Schwer had been a multimedia specialist at West Virginia University since July 2009. Among the activities he listed were “supervisor/trip leader/instructor/recreation assistant” at Ohio University, Outdoor Pursuits, in 2006 and 2007, where he instructed people in wall climbing, ropes courses, adventure trips and the principles of kayaking. He also listed himelf currently as “ a d v e n t u r e guide/instructor/photographer” for Wilderness Voyageurs in Ohiopyle, Pa. Schwer was a 2003 graduate of Anna High School. He was a graduate of Ohio University and was pursuing a master’s degree at West Virginia University, according to his Facebook site. Funeral arrangements are pending.

Congress takes a 5-week vacation BY DONNA CASSATA Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — Congress’ performance matches its approval rating — abysmal. Lawmakers headed home for a fiveweek break with a lengthy list of uncompleted work and little to show for the past year and a half except an eye-pop-

The Republican-controlled House and Democratic-led Senate have set record lows for production and record highs for dysfunction. Partisanship and election-year politics have left a drought-stricken nation wondering if new help will ever come and the U.S. Postal Service uncertain

Some $110 billion in automatic, across-the-board cuts are due to hit military and domestic programs on Jan. 2, yet no bipartisan solution is in sight or even under discussion by those who really matter.

Exhibitors raise money for Sidney teen COLUMBUS — For many years Shelby county native Johnny Regula has been selling animals at the Ohio State Fair Sale of Champions. The auctioneer begins every year with a speech to get the crowd and buyers ready for a record year. This year his speech was not in his usual fashion. Regula had been so inspired by the generosity he witnessed at the Shelby County Fair, he decided to bring that spirit with him to the Ohio State Fair. Regula began by bringing Seth Rogers, 14, of Sidney, up into the sale ring and began to tell the story of what he witnessed at the Shelby

County Fair. The crowd erupted in applause when Seth told the crowd that Regula “cried like a baby” at the generosity shown by the agricultural community in Shelby County. Regula went on to point out that this is what agriculture is all about, family values and helping each other out. At this point Regula explained his surprise. The beef department at the state fair held a silent auction earlier in the week to raise money in support of the Rogers’ family. Regula brought out a youth exhibitor from each livestock department at the Ohio State Fair to give Seth the money raised from the

tinue my rivalry with my brother.” In a family that has a long history of military involvement — spanning from their dad Larry’s side through their mother Joyce (Goubeaux’s) side — Jordan and Tyler stand alone as the only members to join the Army. The brothers are both deploying in the coming months. Jordan is heading to Africa for his second tour overseas in the middle of August, while Tyler is down in Texas at Fort Bliss, preparing for his first deployment to Afghanistan in December.

Meanwhile, on the home front, their parents and sister Chelsea will remain tough through the process, already having been through Jordan’s first deployment overseas in 2007. “We coped through faith (during Jordan’s first deployment),” Joyce explained. “Not only are my boys doing it, but a lot of other boys out there fighting for our freedom. I think that’s something we have to do as Americans. “If something happens to them, though, I’ll probably be a mom going mad.”

Westerfield had exited his vehicle while ordering Williams to stop. Williams continued toward Westerfield, at which time, Westerfield fired one round toward the oncoming vehicle. Williams stopped his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. Westerfield caught Williams and arrested him. Wapakoneta Emergency Medical Service was called to the scene. Williams, who was injured in the crash, refused treatment. Neguse reported no injury. Westerfield was later treated at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital

cept you’re playing the most competitive sport in the world — war.” The family shares a common respect for what the military has done and sacrificed for the country in the present and the past — which is perhaps the reason why the brothers decided to join in the first place. But through it all, their mom has gained an even deeper appreciation into what the military men of our country do. “We’re very proud,” Joyce said. “It’s a sacrifice. They have given up a lot. It’s made me realize how much I take advantage of the United States and our freedom. Now, I feel like I need to do more — like all Americans, who don’t realize how much these boys do for our freedom. “There’s so much controversy out there in the world about the Army doing this, the military doing that, they should or they shouldn’t. Nonetheless, there are a lot of people out there doing things — and we need to respect them.” The family has relatives in the Shelby County area.

WAPAKONETA — An Ohio State Highway Patrol sergeant’s vehicle was struck by a pickup truck driven driven by an impaired driver Sunday morning and the officer fired his weapon at the truck when the driver allegedly drove it toward him, OSHP officials said. The incident occurred at 2:27 a.m. when John N. Williams, 27, of Wapakoneta, was northbound on Ohio 501 in Auglaize County and his truck struck the back of a parked patrol car, which was engaged in a traffic stop. After contact, the patrol car was pushed into another car. Both Sgt. John Westerfield and the driver of the car, Papi Neguse, 23, of Elida, were inside their vehicles at the

of 2007. “I was young and naive at the time. The first three months over there was all cool. But that incident kind of straightened me out a little bit. When your over in another country, you’ve really got to get your head in the game. You kind of forget about home a little bit.” Jordan is now a sergeant at age 24. While deployment day quickly approaches Jordan, Tyler is at Fort Bliss getting his first taste of military life. The younger Tebbe is training in the field of system maintenance. As a member of A-1-34 3rd Platoon, he will serve as a stryker in his first trip overseas. “I don’t feel too bad,” Tyler said. “The closer you get, the more nervous and anxious you get. I’m going into a completely new environment. It’s really the first time going out of country for me.” “I talk to him a lot and tell him a lot of the fun stories,” Jordan said. “Military life is really an awesome place for a young, single man. It’s a really fun place. It’s kind of like being a member of a football team, you know? Ex-

COVINGTON — Covington graduate Jordan Tebbe was always going to join the military, the only question was which branch. He decided to join the National Guard when he finished school in 2006. “After high school, I took the National Guard route because it had the most options, at least, that’s what I was told,” he said. “Honestly, there was no doubt I was going to be in the military — the only doubt was it going to be Army or Marines.” When his 19-year-old brother Tyler opted to follow his lead after graduating in 2011, however, their mother Joyce admitted she was a little surprised. For Tyler, though, the Army also was something he always wanted to be apart of. “I always wanted to do it,” Tyler said. “Coming out of high school, I really didn’t have another idea in my mind. I though it would be cool to be apart of something that big — plus, it allowed me to con-

Jordan is now a seasoned veteran in the military — and he has the accolades to prove it, including two Army Combination medals, two Army Achievement medals, a Red Artillery Cord and a Combat Action Badge. At the age of 19, he volunteered for deployment to Baghdad as part of the National Guard unit B. Btry 2nd/ 138 F.A. Working in the field artillery department as a truck gunner on convoy missions, Jordan’s unit logged more than 200,000 miles. “Basically we just did missions,” he explained. “We hauled supplies and everything from base to base. We logged somewhere around 219,000 miles on the dangerous roads of Iraq.” The 18-month stint, however, had its fair share of sobering moments — none more so than on their first mission out. During the trip, Jordan’s unit had two killed in action and four wounded in action. “The first mission out, we got blown up,” said Jordan, recalling the incident, which happened directly in front of him. “We lost gun truck one. That was the first incident. It happened in September

Alpacas are, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful animals that roam our planet earth. Just the fact that alpacas come in 22 different colors makes them unique, but add to that their gentle nature, tranquil temperament, luxurious fiber, and gentle, calming humming sounds and you have an animal that no human can resist hugging. The natural habitat of the alpaca is the high Andes of South America, but since 1984 they have also flourished on farms throughout the United States because they are so adaptable. There are two different kinds of alpacas in the United States – the suri alpaca which has fiber that appears to be in the form of dreadlocks and is very silky, and the huacaya (pronounced waki-a) alpaca which has very colorful fiber that is extremely fine and gives the alpaca a woolly and round appearance. Alpacas prefer outdoors to being cooped up in a barn so a three-sided shed is perfect and an enclosed barn for birthing. They eat very little food each day, usually as much as a large dog.

They eat grass, good quality grass hays, and a special alpaca crumble. They need hay and/or grass for the fiber it contains, and an abundant supply of fresh, clean water. Alpacas should have annual inoculations and de-worm medication just as a dog or cat would.

acteristics desirable for breeding. suri – A type of alpaca with tightlywound fiber that looks like dreadlocks. weanling – A weaned alpaca, younger than 1 year. yearling – An alpaca between 1 and 2 years old.

Fleece The hair of the alpaca is called 'fleece' or 'fiber' rather than 'fur' or 'wool.' Alpaca fleece has 22 natural shades ranging from black to silver and rose gray and white, from mahogany brown to light fawn and champagne. Alpacas can be bred for specific color. There are two types of alpacas, classified according to their fiber type: * Huacaya ('wah-KI-yah') — dense, crimped, wooly, waterresistant fleece. About 90% of all alpacas in the North America are "teddy-bear" huacayas. * Suri ('SUR-ree') — very fine and lustrous fiber which grows parallel to the body in long, separate locks. Only 10% of the alpaca population in the US are suris. Unlike the llama, the fiber of the alpaca can be used for clothing. Alpaca fiber is softer than cashmere or angora, and warmer and lighter weight than wool, without the prickle-factor that some wool has. Since alpaca fleece has no lanolin, it is easier to process and is hypoallergenic. Alpacas are sheared annually, usually in the spring. The fiber may be sold and processed into rovings, spun into yarn, knitted or woven into fine fabrics. Each step adds more value to the product.

and that lies along the ocean is called a beach. Many beaches are made of sand, much like the sand in a sandbox. Others are made of pebbles or rocks. People all over the world visit the beach to play in the sand and swim in the ocean.

When you walk along the beach, you can’t help but notice the seashells that have washed up on the sand. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. • Plan a Show and Shell day for your class. Take turns showing off your shell collections. Have someone bring a conch (pronounced konk) shell and listen to the ocean inside.

The beaches along the United States are popular vacation spots. People travel from all over the world to visit beaches in Florida, California, Hawaii, and other coastal states. • Pretend you are going on a trip to the beach. First, pick a character from your newspaper’s comic strips to go with you. Then look through your newspaper’s advertisements and make a list of things you and your friend would take along. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

The seashells you see on the beach were once the homes of living animals. As these animals grow, they leave their shells behind and make new ones.

• Now, cut out your newspaper’s weather map and paste it in the space below. Draw a line from the state in which you live to the nearest ocean state. How many states would you have to travel through to get to the beach?

• Unscramble the words below to learn the names of animals that live in shells.

_________ brac _________ laisn _________ yersto _________ loplsac

(Answers: crab, snail, oyster, scallop)

• Now, make your own word scramble. Cut out letters in the newspaper that spell five ocean words found on this page. Paste the letters onto construction paper and cut them out. Mix up the letters in each word and ask a friend to try to unscramble them.

The rare and exotic alpaca is a creature of antiquity that is rapidly gaining popularity around the world. Highly prized for their luxurious coats, the alpaca has been considered a treasure of the Andes Mountains for

more than 6,000 years. Alpacas are New World camelids and look like small llamas or longnecked camels with no humps, especially when recently sheared. They have shaggy necks and camel-like faces with thick lips, pronounced noses, and long ears. Their large, expressive eyes seem to exhibit both

wisdom and childlike curiousity. Easily domesticated, alpacas are friendly, gentle and curious. Alpacas were exported from Peru in the mid-1980s and have become a premier livestock in North America and abroad. In the United States, the national Alpaca Registry (ARI) was formed to ensure breed purity and

high standards. Importation from South America is now closed. Each alpaca born in the US is blood-typed before registering. This practice helps keep our North American standards high, our animals healthy, and our breeding practices more focused on growing the best alpaca fiber in the world.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Skydiving record shattered OTTAWA, Ill. (AP) — Falling at speeds of up to 220 mph, a group of nearly 140 skydivers shattered the vertical skydiving world record as they flew headsdown in a massive snowflake formation in northern Illinois. Three judges representing the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, the international air sports agency, certified that 138 skydivers created the formation Friday evening over Ottawa, about 80 miles southwest of Chicago. It took 15 attempts over three days for the team to break the previous record of 108 skydivers, which was set in 2009. “I feel amazing,” Rook Nelson, an organizer and the owner of Skydive Chicago where the record was broken, said shortly after he made the jump. “There was a lot of emotion and a lot of days where we should have got it. But we dug down deep and stuck at it.” Following months of planning, tryouts and camps to decide who could take part in the dangerous challenge, the record breakers squeezed into six aircraft and launched themselves into the air at 18,500 feet.

Sidney Daily News, Monday, August 6, 2012

Gunman kills 6 in Wisconsin Sikh temple attack OAK CREEK, Wis. (AP) — An unidentified gunman killed six people at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee on Sunday in a rampage that left terrified congregants hiding in closets and others texting friends outside for help. The suspect was killed outside the temple in a shootout with police officers. Police called the attack an act of domestic terrorism, but did not provide any details about the gunman or suggest a possible motive. Oak Creek Police Chief John Edwards did not say whether he specifically targeted the Sikh community. During a chaotic few hours after the first shots were fired, police in tactical gear and carrying assault rifles surrounded the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin with armored vehicles and ambulances. Witnesses struggled with unrealized fears that several shooters were holding women and children hostage inside. One of the first officers to respond to frantic 911 calls seeking help was shot several times as he tended to a wounded victim, and was in critical condition along with two other victims Sunday night, authorities said. “We never thought this could happen to our community,” said Devendar Nagra, 48, of Mount Pleasant, whose sister escaped injury by hiding as the gunman fired in the temple’s kitchen. “We never did anything wrong to anyone.” Edwards said the FBI will lead the investigation because the shootings are being treated as domestic terrorism, or an attack that originated inside the U.S. He said authorities would not say any more about their investigation until Monday morning, including the names of those killed. But it appeared the investigation had moved beyond the temple, as police and federal agents swarmed a neighborhood in nearby Cudahy, evacu-

ating several homes and roping off four blocks around a house where their attention seemed to be focused. FBI agents were on the scene with an armored truck and other vehicles. Milwaukee County sheriff’s spokeswoman Fran McLaughlin said the department’s bomb squad also was on the scene, though she had no details about why the unit had been called. Jatinder Mangat, 38, of Racine, said his uncle Satwant Singh Kaleka, the temple’s president, was one of those shot at the temple, but he didn’t know the extent of Kaleka’s injuries. When he later learned people had died, Mangat said “it was like the heart just sat down.” “This shouldn’t happen anywhere,” he said. Edwards said the gunman “ambushed” one of the first officers to arrive at the temple as the officer, a 20-year veteran with tactical experience, tended to a victim outside. A second officer then exchanged gunfire with the suspect, who was fatally shot. Police had earlier said the officer who was shot killed the suspected shooter. Tactical units went through the temple and found four people dead inside and two outside, in addition to the shooter. The three wounded were being treated at an area trauma center. Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt, who assisted the investigation, said the police officer had surgery and is expected to survive. Gurpreet Kaur, 24, of Oak Creek, said her mother and a group of about 14 other women were preparing a meal in the temple kitchen when the gunman entered and started firing. Kaur said her mother felt two bullets fly by her as the group fled to the pantry. Her mother suffered what Kaur thought was shrapnel wound in her foot.

Jamaica gets rain as Ernesto passes to south PORT ROYAL, Jamaica (AP) — Tropical Storm Ernesto brushed past the Caribbean country’s southern coast Sunday, causing heavy rains but few problems, as it took a path expected to carry it by Honduras and across the Yucatan Peninsula into the Gulf of Mexico. Forecasters at Jamaica’s Meteorological Service said late in the day that the rain was tapering off but light to moderate showers from squalls were still present over most of the island, especially eastern areas. In Jamaica’s southern capital of Kingston, Ernesto dumped some rain but left no noticeable damage.

Island authorities urged people in flood-prone areas to be on alert and urged fishermen on outlying cays and banks to remain in safe harbors on the main island. As the storm’s outer bands approached, Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller called on all Jamaicans to make the necessary preparations to ensure their safety. “I urge you to especially consider the children, the sick, persons with disabilities, the elderly, and the most vulnerable in the society,” she said. Daniel Edwards, a dreadlocked fisherman in Port Royal, a small fishing village at the tip of a spit of land near Kingston’s

airport, said vigorous lightning lit up the sky over the sea late Saturday and early Sunday. Bailing out his small wooden fishing boat next to a dilapidated wooden dock, Edwards said he wasn’t overly concerned by the storm. “It’s not much of a muchness,” said the veteran fisherman, decked out in rain gear. Forecasters said Ernesto could begin drenching the coast of Honduras late Monday. It is then expected to move ashore near the Belize-Mexico border Tuesday night and pass into the Gulf of Mexico.

CONGRESS omy right back into recession. The standoff is what happens when a bitterly divided government mixes with election-year politics to throw sand in the gears of official Washington. The tea party-dominated House and a Senate controlled by Democrats struggling to keep their narrow majority in November view each other with a palpable disdain. House Speaker John Boehner, who came to Washington in 1991, bluntly described the divide that has made consensus a rare commodity. “The American people are probably more polarized now than any time since I’ve been here,” the Ohio Republican told reporters. “And as a result we see that polarization reflected here in the halls of Congress. And even though both sides have some sharply different views and ideologies, our job is still to find the common ground.” But common ground is scarce. This is a Congress that can’t do the big stuff while even the small stuff, such as a oneyear extension of student loan

subsidies that passed in June, makes them sweat. Congress stumbled out of Washington for a five-week vacation one day early on Thursday on a typical note: a GOP filibuster in the Senate of a bipartisan cybersecurity bill and the House’s abandonment of a one-year extension, as Republican leaders had planned, of food and farm policy. Senate Republicans were unhappy about being denied a chance to amend the cybersecurity bill. House Republicans were unable to find party unity on food stamps and farm subsidies The House settled for a paltry restoration of expired disaster programs for livestock producers and tree farmers. The Senate wouldn’t do even that, demanding instead a full five-year farm bill with 80 percent of it, or about $400 billion, devoted to food stamps. More broadly, just 151 laws have been enacted in 19 months; more than two dozen of them were to rename post offices and courthouses, or add individuals to the Smithsonian board. By comparison, the pre-

From Page 1 vious Congress enacted 383 laws with President Barack Obama in the White House and Democrats controlling Capitol Hill. Even in 2007-08, when Republican Bush was president and Democrats ran Congress, 460 laws were enacted. “They think compromise is a dirty word when compromise is necessary to get things done in the era of divided government,” said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, DMd. A poll last month by CBS News and The New York Times found Congress with a 12 percent approval rating and 79 percent disapproval score. Lawmakers will return in September for what promises to be an abbreviated pre-election session with two main items of business. Most important is a sixmonth spending bill to keep the government running through March and prevent any possibility of a politically explosive government shutdown before the election. Not one of the 13 must-pass spending bills has been completed and the new budget year be-

gins Oct. 1. The warring sides also need to find some solution on farm subsidies and food stamps before the programs expire Sept. 30. The Senate gave bipartisan approval to its farm bill in June but the House has been unable to pass it or a version of its own. “The House is pretty well divided. You’ve got the left concerned about reductions in the food stamp program, you’ve got the right who don’t think the cuts go far enough in the food stamp program,” Boehner said. “And frankly, I haven’t seen 218 votes in the middle to pass a farm bill.” A leading option would be to punt the issue into the future, as Congress has done with so much else. Even what passes for accomplishment often simply extends current policy. There were the recent extensions of transportation funding and student loan subsidies, along with earlier action to extend Obama’s payroll tax cuts and his demand for additional jobless benefits for the longtime unemployed.

after marriage before becoming sexually active. DR. WALLACE: I have never written for advice before, but I am in a tight spot. I love my brother and received an invitation to his wedding. The problem is that the invitation was only for me and not for my husband. My husband and my brother have a strained relationship. Should I attend the wedding or decline the invitation? Even though I love my brother, I’m not so sure that I want to attend his wedding under the circumstances, and I would not have an escort, if I did go. My husband and my brother were high school athletic teammates. They both starred in football and basketball. At high school graduation, my husband was honored as the best athlete in the graduating class of 2005. This made my brother terribly upset because he

said that he was much better than my husband in both sports and the only reason my husband won was that my husband’s father was the athletic director. My husband and brother haven’t spoken to one another since graduation. Do you think I should attend my brother’s wedding without my husband? — Nameless, Fort Worth, Texas NAMELESS: It would be important for both your husband and for you to attend his wedding. See if your parents or other relatives can talk to your brother to obtain an invitation. It’s time for these two guys to “bury the hatchet” and end the rift in the family. But if this cannot be arranged, I’d suggest that you not attend the wedding. The loyalty and love shared between a husband and wife trumps all other loyalties and loves.

When the Shelby County Historical Society hosts the first Shelby County Native American Gathering Sept. 6-8 at the fairgrounds and other Sidney sites, part of the project will be directed specifically at local students. Programs for eighthgraders and a unique opportunity for high school sophomores are scheduled for Sept. 7 “We have contacted all middle schools in the county to invite eighthgraders to the fairgrounds for a day of living history,” said society Director Tilda Phlipot. “They’ll see demonstrations and participate in hands-on activities that will give them a good idea of what life was like in a Native American village.” High schools have been invited to bus their sophomores to Sidney High School for a talk by Dr. Herman Viola, of Falls Church, Va., curator emeritus at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and an authority on Native American history. He will give another talk that’s open to the public at Lehman High School Sept. 6. Phlipot is working with experts and volunteers to plan the living history exhibits and activities for the junior high students. Among those activities will be the opportunity to learn about fly fishing from staff of the Bent Finger Foundation of Elida. “We run fishing camps for kids,” said foundation Director Deb VanBuskirk. The camps are in various state parks in Ohio and Wyoming. Some are oneday sessions and some are two-day sessions. “We’re a fly-fishing camp, but we teach other kinds of fishing, as well. And we teach conservation and safety around the water and in the wilderness,” Van Buskirk added.

At the Native American Gathering, Bent Finger staff will illustrate that fishing was an important part of Indian culture. “We’ll demonstrate how they fished and what they did with fish after they caught them,” VanBuskirk said. Unusual drying techniques allowed Indians to preserve the fish for conthroughout sumption the winter. The foundation plans to have three people at the fairgrounds during the day. The historical society will have several dozen additional volunteers, many of them people of Native American descent, who will demonstrate crafts and reenact early-American Indian life. Eighth-graders will move from site to site on the grounds, learning about the role of women in Native encampments, how household implements and tools were made and used, the politics of tribal communities, how food was prepared, what Native Americans did for entertainment, the symbolism of tribal dances and other aspects of Indian culture. “The general public will have a chance to see many of these things, as well, during the gathering Sept. 8. But we think it is important that students have the chance to participate during school hours. These educational elements all fit into the history curriculum of these grades. And making history come alive gives students a stronger understanding of it,” Phlipot said. The Shelby County Native American Gathering will open with Viola’s speech Sept. 6. The educational component will fill Sept. 7. The encampment at the fairgrounds will be open to the public Sept. 8. For information, call Phlipot at 498-1653.

pose; regular lawn fertilizers have too much nitrogen for seeding). Remove any large debris and smooth the planting surface. You are now ready to seed. Choose varieties that will match with the surrounding lawn and fit with the growing conditions — light, moisture and traffic. The most desirable grasses for this area are Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, and tall fescue (avoid “Kentucky 31”). Use a blend of varieties to meet varying conditions and prevent wide-scale disease problems. Some nurseries and garden centers sell bulk seed and can customblend it for you. If you buy prepackaged seed, read the label and look

for a blend of varieties. Sow the seed evenly at the recommended rate. You may wish to lightly rake it into the soil and then tamp it down to make good seed-soil contact. A light covering of straw will help to retain moisture and repel birds. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate; this may mean light watering twice a day. Bluegrass can take up to three weeks to germinate, while ryegrass and fescues will germinate sooner. Applying one-half to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet three to five weeks after seeding should help the new turf; water this fertilizer into the soil immediately. Don’t mow the area until the new grass is at least 3 inches long, and then cut the grass 2 inches long. Acting now should yield a more attractive lawn next spring.

COLUMBUS — Dairy nutritionists, industry professionals, producers and anyone who wants to learn the latest research on Jersey cattle, milk production and developing a Jersey-branded beef program can get tips from the experts during a Dairy Educational Forum and Open House at the Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center, 2201 Fred Taylor Drive, on Ohio State University’s campus. The central part of the program is a free forum Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Hosted jointly by Ohio State’s Department of Animal Sciences and the American Jersey Cattle Association, it will feature seminars designed to share information on efficiently managing dairy operations and the environmental sustainability of food production systems, said Maurice Eastridge, a professor and OSU Extension dairy specialist. “This program has been organized to showcase some of the research conducted by Ohio State and its educational programs,” he said. “As the industry assisted in building our herd of high-quality Jersey animals at Ohio State’s teaching and research unit, this program serves as an open house for the public and the dairy industry and to highlight the value of partnerships between the Ohio State and Ohio’s agricultural industries.” Topics to be discussed during the forum include “Environmental Impact and Sustainability of Jersey Milk Production,” “Genomic Evaluations: Powerful Tool for Improving Dairy Cattle,” “Stream Management in a Pasture System,” “Silage Storage to Maintain Quality and Minimize Shrink,” “Managing the Costs of Production,” “Services Provided by the American Jersey Cattle Association,” and hand-on activities for youth. On Wednesday, the event will feature a presentation at 2 p.m. by Jude L. Capper, a sustainability consultant and adjunct professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Washington State University. Capper, whose research and outreach work focuses on modeling the environmental impact of livestock production systems including dairy and beef, will discuss “Meatless Mondays ... and Other Fairy Tales.” Participants can also attend an open house Friday at 10 a.m. at COBA/Select Sires Inc., which is North America’s largest artificial insemination organization and is composed of 10 farmer-owned and controlled cooperatives. The open house is at 11740 U.S. Route 42 North in Plain City. Participants are encouraged to contact Eastridge power New York City. 10.

12 things you might not know about the Dust Bowl In the 1930s, the United States faced one of its greatest natural disasters. The farmers in the High Plains had turned over too much soil too fast, leaving more than 100 million acres stripped of its native buffalo grass and barren of crop. Combine this with one of the driest summers on record and you have what came to be known as the Dirty Thirties. 1. “Alfalfa Bill” Murray, a governor from Oklahoma (one of the hardesthit states), ran for president in 1932 under the platform “Bread, Butter, Bacon, Beans.” During a time when most people were eating various forms of wheat three times a day, bacon and beans were powerful words. Not powerful enough, however, to beat FDR for the Democratic nomination. 2. During a particularly bad storm on May 9, 1934, more than 3 tons of dust for every American alive traveled across the country covering Chicago, New York and Atlanta. The storm spanned 1,800 miles and weighed 350 million tons. 3. At one point, 4,000 out of 5,500 families in six Oklahoma counties were receiving government aid. When FDR came into office, he also implemented a program in which the government bought these farmers’ starving livestock in order to butcher those still edible to feed the homeless in the

Hoovervilles. The $12 earned for every cattle sold was soon the only source of income for many. 4. Russian thistle, or tumbleweed, grew rampantly during this period — one of the few plants that could survive the harsh conditions. People became so desperate that they started to brine the tumbleweed, rendering it edible. Supposedly high in chlorophyll and iron, a county in Oklahoma declared a “Russian Thistle Week” where people were encouraged to harvest the weeds. 5. When a storm blew in, people were never safe. Dust particles sneaked through cracks in their walls and windows, clogging people’s ears, noses, and mouths. The buildup of this dust in the lungs caused dust pneumonia, which is a lot like the silicosis. Silicosis, the oldest occupational respiratory disease, was now affecting every person, young or old, in the High Plains. 6. This was the era of Bonnie and Clyde’s famous bank robberies, and many farmers admired

the duo for their sense of justice. Many people figured that the banks that had robbed them of their savings during the bank crisis deserved to get a taste of their own medicine. 7. The 1930s were the first decade where the birth rate fell below 20 children for every 1,000 women. Never before had there been so few children living in the United States. 8. The worst storm of the Dust Bowl occurred on April 14, 1935 — Black Sunday. Carrying dust up to 200 miles off the Atlantic coast, the storm blackened cities and traveled at more than 100 mph. Animals and insects fled south, and a woman, believing the storm marked the beginning of Armageddon, killed her child to spare her the horror. And while Hugh Hammond Bennett was delivering a speech to Congress about soil preservation, dust rained down on Washington, D.C., and blackened out the sun. Congress passed his legislation. 9. A single storm generated enough static electricity to short radios and cars and caused blue flames to erupt from barbed-wire fences. It was so strong it even knocked full-grown men off their feet if they accidentally touched or shook hands. People would drag chains in order to offset the static The writer is a district electricity.

The women and young girls donated between 8 and 15 inches of their hair. The hair is used to create wigs for cancer patients at no charge to the patient. Cutting hair for the event were Amber Blackford and Allison Hicks of Shear Creative Salon in Sidney. A pancake breakfast held Saturday morning at the fairgrounds raised $400.40 for relay. There were 25 survivors who ate for free. First Church of God of Sidney sponsored the event. “We appreciate everybody who came out to show their support,” Hazel Donahue said. She attends the church and is a cancer survivor. On Saturday morning, participants had the chance to participate in the ping pong drop. participating Those could buy a numbered ping pong ball for $5. The balls were taken to the top of a Sidney Fire ladder Department truck cherry picker and were dropped by a firefighter and a volunteer to the ground below. The person whose ping pong ball landed closest to a hat on a table won $1,000. Jim Martin of Sidney, who was with the Beers Bunch team, won the money. The Community Bloodmobile was sponsored by the Sidney Masonic Temperance Lodge and according to Kathy Pleiman, coordinator of the bloodmobile for Shelby and Logan Counties, 41 people registered to donate on Friday and the same number registered on Saturday. Pleiman said it was a “successful day” and she wanted to “thank all the donors” and wanted to thank the local relay organization for inviting them to participate. Shelby County Sheriff candidate Scott Evans read the names of those honored on the luminaria as part of the festivities. The Shelby County Sheriff ’s Office had deputies present at the event. Darcy Winchester, part of the Justice for a Cure team (previously Crime Crusaders), said her brother died last year from throat cancer and while she participated before, it has encouraged her to continue to work with the team.

and teams are working to increase the final totals. Cheers and applause went up, though, when Relay Co-Chairman Rhonda Pence announced, “We did beat Miami County (Relay for Life).” This year’s goal for Shelby County Relay for Life is $209,000. Although clouds threatened Saturday morning, participants continued walking laps, although Pence admitted, “the rain scared a lot of teams away. But the people are starting to come back.” A light breeze gave way to increasing humidity as the morning went on. While team members were tired by Saturday morning, a night and morning full of activities kept those in attendance busy and still laughing about the overnight antics. The most popular event took place at 11 p.m. Friday, when the MissTER Relay pageant took place. It left relay participants still laughing Saturday morning. The pageant was a huge success with more than $1,900 raised for Relay for Life. Sidney Police Officer Warren Melerine, who had the stage name “Cinnamon Campbell” for the contest, won the title of 2012 MissTER Relay during the pageant, after parading around the stage and dancing for the audience along with the other pageant contestants. “Joe Laber (of WMVR Hits 105.5) crowned him (Melerine) and gave him a bouquet of flowers. It was hilarious,” Pence said. “We introduced them (pageant contestants) individually and they did a runway show,” Amy Breinich, one of the entertainment coordinators said. “They were dancing for money. They had buckets lining the stage in front of them. I think nearly everyone he (Melerine) work(s) with was out here. He raised the most money.” The winner of the contest was chosen based on the amount of money left in their bucket. The annual Relay for Life auction on Saturday morning raised approximately $5,755 with a number of donated items auctioned off including an Alvetro Orthodontics package, a hand-crocheted afghan, an Ohio State University fire pit, a Cincinnati Reds package and a guitar autographed by Lady Antebellum, which brought $500. A baked goods auction also took place, with lots of treats being auctioned, including cakes, brownies, cookies and Spot pies. That auction brought in $6,800.

HOROSCOPE BY FRANCES DRAKE For Tuesday, August 7, 2012 TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Some people might be a bit prickly at work today, especially older or more experienced co-workers. Just accept this and move on. (You’ll become more efficient at your job from this day onward.) GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A celestial influence that has been causing transportation delays and confused communication is over as of today. Now you can breathe a sigh of relief. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Relations with parents and older relatives might be a bit stilted or cool today. Just accept this. The good news is that financial matters can get the green light now. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) Today retrograde Mercury goes direct in your sign. All these crazy, silly, goofy mistakes will hugely lessen. Communication with others will become more reliable. (Whew!) VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) Don’t be discouraged by financial matters today, because this is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Very soon the Sun will enter your sign and you will feel empowered! LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) You will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others today, because the Moon is opposite your sign. In particular, you will have to defer to those who are older, more experienced or in authority. (Oops.) SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) You feel energized with plans for the future now. Take a serious look at your life direction in general to see if you are headed where you really want to go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Glitches and delays to travel plans will now be a thing of the past. You can go forward with confidence in making plans for travel, publishing, higher education, medicine and the law. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Don’t be pushy in discussions with parents and authority figures today. Let sleeping dogs lie. Timing is everything. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) Don’t be discouraged today. Things are always darkest before it gets pitch black. (Joking.) This feeling is just temporary. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) You might be disappointed in your fair share of something today. Don’t agree to anything. Wait a day or two to see how you might renegotiate. YOU BORN TODAY You’re clever, witty and have marvelous social skills. People just like you. However, you also have another side that is attracted to secrets and hidden information. This makes you a great researcher, especially into archaeology, anthropology, criminology or esoteric knowledge. Likewise, you are intrigued by the secrets of others. In your year ahead, your strongest focus will be on partnerships and close friendships. (c) 2012 King Features Syndicate, Inc.

Am I overdoing

it? Are there blood tests for this cancer? — B.R. ANSWER: Self-exam for testicular cancer is a good idea. You don’t need to do it every time you take a shower. Monthly is more than enough. A painless testicular lump is the usual sign of this cancer. It might cause a dull ache in the lower abdomen or in the testicle, but true pain is not common. The lump is hard, firm and fixed in place. You can’t move it. A young man who has such a lump needs to get to a doctor quickly. I say “young man” because testicular cancers most often arise between the ages of 15 and 35. There are blood tests for this cancer. They give confirmatory but not definitive evidence of it. The names of those tests are alpha fetoprotein, beta human chorionic gonadotropin and LDH.

I would have preferred to have been told, “I’d love

to have you, but we just can’t afford to invite all of the lovely people we would like.” I know this isn’t the first time you’ve mentioned something like this in your column, but it amazes me how insensitive people can be. — SECOND STRING, BRADFORD, MASS.

AND ENDS

CINCINNATI (AP) — Actor Charlie Sheen, a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan, has pledged to donate $50,000 to the team’s Community Fund, matching the amount broadcaster Marty Brennaman raised for charity in return for having his head shaved on the field. Sheen and father Martin Sheen, a Dayton native, were at the Reds game against Pitts-

burgh on Friday and saw Brennaman get his head shaved. Brennaman had promised to shave his hair if the Reds won 10 consecutive games and said he would do it publicly if fans donated at least $20,000 to the Reds fund. That drive generated $50,000, and Charlie Sheen announced Sunday he planned to match that amount.

REPLAY 50 years ago Aug. 6, 1962 Only one match remains to be played in the first round of the Sidney City Singles tounament. In first-round matches, Elton Heckman blanked Harry Fitsgeralds, 6-0, Jim Mentges beat David Heckler, 6-0, Curly Wildermuth edged Gil Schulze 6-4, Tim Heckman blanked Marv Close 6-0, and Pug Cromes barely downed Dick Russell 7-5.

25 years ago Aug. 6, 1987 Sidney Post 217 was eliminated from the State Legion Tournament at Ohio University Wednesday, but it wasn’t the fault of pitcher Tom Froning. Froning, who will be a junior at Lehman, pitched brilliantly against Lancaster, but was victimized by the short fences on the diamond the two teams were playing on. A routine fly ball with a runner on made it over the fence in the second inning to give Lancaster a 2-1 win.

Burnett shuts down Reds Despite loss, Reds hit road with 41/2 game Central lead CINCINNATI (AP) — Clint Hurdle decided to keep A.J. Burnett pitching on his regular day so he didn’t miss the showdown with the Cincinnati Reds. The Pittsburgh Pirates had a day off Thursday that allowed Burnett to face the Reds and improve to 7-2 after a team loss. Burnett remained undefeated against the Reds this season and Starling Marte hit a tiebreaking two-run triple to help the Pittsburgh Pirates salvage the finale of their three-game series with a 6-2 win on Sunday. “I’ve never had an ace before,” Hurdle said. “We have a guy with the experience A.J. brought with him. Neil Walker hit a two-run home run and All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchen added a solo shot as Pittsburgh snapped Cincinnati’s win streak at five and cut the Reds lead in the National League Central Division to 4 1-2 games. Burnett (14-3) allowed just one hit after the first inning and retired 18 straight batters before yielding two walks with two outs in the ninth. He allowed three hits and two runs with three walks and seven strikeouts in 8 2-3 innings to improve to 3-0 in three starts against the Reds this season. “After the second inning he was just rock solid. He got some quick outs,” Hurdle said. Burnett shrugged off the stopper’s tag.

Rain helps Gordon snap winless streak LONG POND, Pa. (AP) — Jeff Gordon took advantage of an accident sparked by teammate Jimmie Johnson and a touch of timely rain at Pocono Raceway to win his first race of the season. Gordon earned his 86th career victory Sunday, winning for the first time since September 2011 at Atlanta Motor Speedway to thrust himself into wild-card contention in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Johnson inadvertently gave his Hendrick Motorsports teammate the help he needed. Johnson got loose off a restart and knocked Matt Kenseth into the wall. Kenseth slid down the track and took out Denny Hamlin. With an opening, unexpected Gordon zoomed to the lead in the No. 24 Chevrolet. It couldn’t have come at a better time. The skies opened and cars were ordered off the track. The race was

called moments later with 98 of the 160 scheduled laps completed. Gordon had been hit by a string of bad breaks this season and knew he needed wins over the final six races before the Chase cutoff to have any shot at running for a fifth champiduring the onship 10-race playoffs. Gordon, who also won a rain-shortened race at Pocono in 2007, set the record for most career wins at Pocono with six. Kasey Kahne was second, followed by Martin Truex Jr., Brad Keselowski and Tony Stewart. With the storms coming — spotters told their drivers the heavy rain was coming — Johnson was in prime position to follow last week’s win in Indy with another trip to Victory Lane. Something, though, went wrong with Johnson’s car and he made contact with Kenseth. Johnson dropped back but suffered no real damage.

SCOTT DIXON, of New Zealand, leads a pack of cars during the IndyCar Series Honda Indy 200

auto race at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course Sunday in Lexington, Ohio. Dixon won the race.

Dixon masters Mid-Ohio again LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — Scott Dixon won this one in the pits. Dixon took the lead for good by passing Will Power in pit row on the 57th lap and then held on Sunday to capture his fourth IndyCar title in the last six years at MidOhio. “We’ve had good speed everywhere, but you’ve got to say this place has been really good to us,” Dixon said. Dixon, who previously won titles on the winding road course in 2007, ‘09 and ‘11, qualified a disappointing fourth. But he patiently picked off cars until he sped past Power when both pitted just past the midpoint of the 85-lap race. Power did get a consolation prize despite finishing second: He took over the points lead from Ryan Hunter-Reay, who finished 24th. Power was well aware of the predicament he faced as he headed into the pits. Every other car had already pitted, so it was empty. Dixon quickly pulled into his slot and got a fill-up and new tires and then screamed away. Up ahead, Power was just finishing up his stop, but had to not only negotiate

around a pile of tires but also had to look out for Dixon, who already had built a head of steam. “You realize as you’re coming in, it’s going to be tight when he’s sitting right behind you,” he said. “You know, man, it’s all about the stop. There’s nothing you can do about it.” Dixon also was aware that the race was right in front of him. It’s exceedingly difficult to pass anyone on the narrow, twisting pavement at Mid-Ohio ‚Äî even with IndyCar officials implementing a push-topass system to help open things up. It was now or never for the 32-year-old in the Target Chip Ganassi Honda. “These are the tightest pit boxes we have throughout the whole season,” Dixon said. “To try to get a car in when the person behind you (is right there), is very, very difficult. I had an open pit, just slid it in there. “It just worked out we were a second or two quicker and off we went.” Only 28 points separate the top four in the rankings, with Power just two points ahead of Hunter-Reay, who was

followed by Helio Castroneves. Dixon moved into fourth place with three races remaining in the season. Power, who has won three times this year, led the first 57 laps before giving way to Dixon. He was pleased with the way his car performed — he said it was an almost perfect run — but knew he had his hands full against a guy who has turned Mid-Ohio into an annuity. “He’s just good around this place. I mean, he’s quick,” Power said. “His car’s got a good setup, the whole package. It makes it so difficult to beat him.” There were no caution flags for the second IndyCar race in a row, the first time that’s happened since 1987. Rookie Simon Pagenaud hung on for third place — his third

Shady Bowl rain-shortened Shady Bowl Speedway in DeGraff endured a rough night of racing Saturday. Rain played havoc with the scheduled program. The Main Event Racing Series was to be the star of the nights action, but Mother Nature had other ideas. A heavy rain with high winds and lightning hit the speedway just after time trials, causing a two-hour delay. It was finally determined the surface was raceable and the street stocks took to the speedway for a 40-lap feature. The compacts were up next, with newcomer Randy Shannon Jr. of Columbus edging Matt Jackson to post his first feature win in his Scottscape Tree Service Cavalier. The Main Event Racing Series was the next event, but once again Mother Nature took over top spot by turning loose a downpour. Officials were forced to cancel the event, rescheduling it for Sept. 8. Saturday’s tickets will be honored for the makeup event. This Saturday will feature a complete program of late models, modifieds, tuners, compacts and Dwarf cars.

podium finish of the season. With countryman Sebastien Bourdais’ best finish of the season in fourth, it was a banner day for the French. “That’s funny, I thought about it during the race,” Pagenaud said. “I thought, ‘We’re doing pretty well this weekend.’” James Hinchcliffe improved 15 spots after placing 20th in his only previous appearance at Mid-Ohio a year ago. The victory was the second of the year for Dixon, who also won at Belle Isle. It was his 29th career IndyCar win, tying him with Rick Mears for 10th place. After taking the lead, Dixon gradually stretched out the margin between him and Power. He ended up winning by 3.4619 seconds. “All in all, it was a perfect day,” he said.

LIMA — On the evening track officials at Limaland Motorsports Park designated as the Night of Champions, it proved to be fitting that the track’s all-time leading winner in the Sprint Car division, Tim Allison, posted the 100th feature win of his more than 30-year career. It was Allison’s first triumph of the 2012 season and 30th in the fifteen years of University of Northwestern Ohio ownership and operation of the track. The Elwer Fence Sprints 25-lap feature saw last week’s first time winner Hud Horton start from the pole with Allison on the outside front row starting position. Horton led for the opening two circuits on the high-banked ¼-mile oval before Allison executed a slide job for the pass and lead he would hold for the duration. Allison worked the top side racing groove through most of the race although he did move toward the middle to lower portion of the track when storming through slower traffic. A pair of caution periods allowed Kyle Sauder and Jared Horstman to move closer to Allison, but neither were able to genuinely threaten for the lead. Horstman made the biggest move of the event, coming from the inside of row number

London Olympics Bolt repeats in Olympic 100 dash

Richards-Ross closes the deal LONDON (AP) — Disappointment, tears and that oh-so-unsatisfying color — bronze — are all in the past for Sanya Richards-Ross. On this trip, she closed the deal. Four years after a late fade left her crying and wearing the Olympic bronze medal, RichardsRoss won the 400-meter gold she always thought she could. “What I have learned is you don’t win the race until you win the race,” Richards-Ross said. Nearly banging elbows with runners on both sides of her — and with the defending champion making up ground on the outside — Richards-Ross got stronger, not weaker, this time over the last 100 meters. She surged to the finish, won by about a body’s length and punched her fist when she crossed in 49.55 seconds Sunday night to give the U.S. its first track gold medal of the London Olympics.

earned the bronze in 9.79. Everyone in the final broke 10 seconds except former worldrecord holder Asafa Powell of Jamaica, who pulled up with a groin injury. At Beijing four years ago, the 6-foot-5 Bolt electrified track and field, winning gold medals in world-record times in the 100, 200 and 4x100 relay — something no man had

back and legs. In 2010, he lost to Tyson Gay, the American who cried inconsolably after ending up fourth Sunday. A false start knocked Bolt out of the 100 at last year’s world championships, creating an opening for Blake. Then came recent, much-discussed losses to Blake in the 100 and 200 at the Jamaican Olympic trials. Bolt never let any of

LONDON (AP) — Pulling away from the pack with every long stride, Usain Bolt crossed the finish line and wagged his right index finger. Yes, he’s still No. 1 in the 100-meter dash. Maybe not better than ever, but Bolt is definitely back. Only about sixthfastest of the eight runners to the halfway mark Sunday night, Bolt erased that deficit and overwhelmed a starstudded field to win in 9.63 seconds, an Olympic record that let him join Carl Lewis as the only men with consecutive gold medals in the marquee track and field event at the Summer Games. “I executed, and that’s the key,” Bolt said. “I stopped worrying about the start. The end is what’s important.” Ever the showman, the Jamaican kept right on running for a victory lap that included highfives for front-row fans, a pause to crouch down and kiss the track and even a somersault. Thousands in the crowd chanted the champion’s name: “Usain! Usain! Usain!” Bolt’s training partner and Jamaican teammate, world champion Yohan Blake, won the silver in 9.75, and 2004 Olympic champion Justin Gatlin of the U.S.

KEEGAN BRADLEY celebrates making a par putt on the 18th hole to win the Bridgestone Invitational golf tournament at Firestone Country Club in Akron Sunday.

Bradley wins after stunning turnaround AKRON, Ohio (AP) — Keegan Bradley only wanted a chance to get into a playoff Sunday at Firestone. All it took was a clutch par, along with a stunning collapse by Jim Furyk, for Bradley to win the Bridgestone Invitational and wrap up a spot on the Ryder Cup team. Bradley closed with a 6-under 64, and the final stroke was the most important ‚Äî a 15-foot putt to save par from a plugged lie in the bunker. Furyk, who led for 71 holes and looked solid throughout the final round, chopped up the 18th hole for a double bogey to throw away a chance at his first win since the 2010 Tour Championship. He missed the green from the fairway. His chip with one foot in the sand barely cleared the bunker and stayed in the thick collar. He hit a weak chip to 5 feet, and his bogey putt never had a chance. Furyk dropped his putter when the ball left his blade. He went from what appeared to be a certain win to a 69 and a tie for second with Steve Stricker, who made four birdies on his last five holes for a 64. “I’ve got no one to blame but myself,” Furyk said. “There’s no way I should have made more than 5.” Bradley won for the first time since last year in PGA Championship, and now goes to Kiawah Island to defend his title with a lot more confidence. “I still can’t believe it,” he said.

Bradley was four shots behind going into the final round, and was six shots back when Furyk opened with three straight birdies. Bradley kept pecking away at the lead, holing a 25-foot birdie putt on the seventh, scrambling for par on the 12th, and starting the back nine with a pair of birdies. Furyk finally answered with an 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th, only for Bradley to follow him in for birdie from 12 feet. Furyk had a oneshot lead playing the 18th, and got one big break when he pulled his tee shot into the trees and it ricocheted out into the fairway. That’s where it all started to go wrong. He went long of the green and the ball hopped out of the bunker and into the thick collar, forcing him to put his left foot into the sand. He flubbed the chip, just over the bunker into more thick grass, and his chip was a clunker, rolling out to just over 5 feet. Bradley also went long and plugged into the sand, and he blasted out to 15 feet behind the hole. The dynamics changed so suddenly. There was a chance for a four-way playoff if Bradley and Furyk missed, and Louis Oosthuizen made his birdie putt form just outside 12 feet. Bradley, whose putting carried him to a comeback in the PGA Championship, hit a pure stroke for the par to finish on 13-under 267. Then, it was up to Furyk to force the playoff.
