Dad will flip for fried fare on his favorite day Before Father's Day on Sunday, let's go out on a limb and say that Dad doesn't want a big salad for dinner. Real guys eat it, but quiche won't do, either.

You could grill ribs, but suffice it to say the outdoor kitchen is something of a man's world and he is likely to feel obligated to supervise. Nobody wants that.

So what's left that is brawny enough to salute the mother of all fathers? How about golden, deep-fried bites dipped into a sturdy and spicy sauce? See

Hey NSA — I have nothing to hide So the National Security Administration has started monitoring our cell phone usage. In an effort to control terrorism, the good folks at the NSA (you haven’t truly partied until you’ve partied with a member of the NSA) are tapping into our cell phone records, monitoring our text messages and phone calls.

Haha — that’s a good one.

“Started” monitoring.

The way I figure it, the FBI, CIA, NSA and, in all likelihood, the NCAA, have had files on me for years now.

Camp Invention returned to St. Patrick Catholic School this week as students created innovative ways to solve some of the earth’s biggest problems, including housing, electricity production and traffic control. Camp Invention is a one-week course that teaches a hands-on approach to students.

Maxwell Browning, 9, and his crew of fellow inventors explained how their invention of a new power plant would save fish and aquatic life while separating river trash to turn in to electricity.

“The base plant scoops up the fish and trash and separates them,” Browning explained as he showed off the team’s invention Wednesday. “Then the trash is used to heat up the generators to make electricity for our city.”

Another group of young campers came up with a

Snowden, 29, fled the U.S. for a Hong Kong hotel last month to go public with top secret documents gathered through his work in Hawaii as a contractor through Booz Allen Hamilton with the National Security Agency, where he worked as a systems analyst. He revealed startlingly voracious spy programs that sweep up millions of Americans’ telephone records, emails and Internet data in the hunt for terrorists.

With the United States consider-

A new set of Community Pride award winners were recognized at Tuesday’s West Milton Village Council meeting.

Tim and Cindy Fairchild, Sharon and William Gilliland and Steven and Jennifer Staas were present to receive their awards from council.

Tim Fairchild also cares for the grounds at HaleSarver Funeral Home in West Milton and extends his enjoyment of gardening at his home at 200 Wright Road.

“I just really enjoy working in the yard,” Tim Fairchild said.

“He is very particular about it,” Cindy Fairchild said.

Second year award winners are Sharon and William Gilliland of 284 Lowry Drive.

“We really take a lot of pride in our yard,” Sharon Gilliland said. “We sit outside a lot and people will walk by and stop and comment on how nice the yard looks. It really makes us proud.”

The Staas received their first award for their home at 290 W. Hamilton St. The recipients also will have a sign placed in their yard indicating they are award winners.

Council expressed their gratitude to those being honored.

“We really appreciate all the hard work you are doing in our community,” Mayor Michael Coate II said. “Thank you for that.”

Council member Ora Ashley also expressed his appreciation.

“I know it takes a lot of work on your part and we really appreciate it,” he said.

Westfall said he will approach

• CONTINUED FROM 1 get you, they’ll get you in time,” Snowden told The Guardian newspaper of London, which first reported his revelations.

Why would a man “living in Hawaii in paradise and making a ton of money” decide to leave everything behind, he asked. Because he realized that his computer savvy was helping erect an everexpanding “architecture of oppression” and he believed the people must be told.

From a secret location in Hong Kong, he told the newspaper: “The reality is that I have acted at great personal risk to help the public of the world, regardless of whether that public is American, European or Asian.”

Snowden’s leaked documents have had an enormous impact. Some have questioned, however, his descriptions of his power as a Booz Allen contractor and other details of his life.

For example, he said he was earning $200,000 a year. When Booz Allen fired him, they said his salary was $122,000.

“I, sitting at my desk, had the authority to wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president if I had a personal email,” Snowden told The Guardian on videotape.

Asked by Sen. Susan Collins, RMaine, about that comment, NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander said simply that it was false. “I know of no way to do that,” Alexander told senators in a hearing Wednesday.

Former NSA and CIA director retired Gen. Mike Hayden called Snowden’s claim “absurd legally and technologically.” Former NSA Inspector General Joel Brenner also doubts it.

“I do not believe his statement,” Brenner said. “And if he tried, I believe he would be discovered, stripped of his clearance, and summarily fired.”

Brenner said, however, that Snowden appears to have had extraordinary access to things he should not have and that will be investigated.

Snowden also raised eyebrows by declaring that in his job he “had access to the full roster of everyone working at the NSA, the entire intelligence community

planning commission again once he decides on a paint color.

At the end of the meeting, Administrative Assistant Sue Knight reminded commissioners that a public hearing for the proposed rezoning of 1509 W. Main St. will take place at the July 10 meeting. On behalf of The First Church of Christ Scientist,

Sandra Webb requested the building be rezoned from officeresidential district to local retail district. According to the planning staff report, although the building is classified as residential, it has never been utilized as such and would be more appropriate under an office-residential designation.

Winners and undercover assets all around the world, the locations of every station we have, what their missions are and so forth.”

Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald, who first reported the phone-tracking program and conducted the Snowden interviews, describes him as “very steadfast and resolute about the fact that he did the right thing.”

Jonathan Mills, father of Snowden’s long-time girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, described him as “very nice. Shy, and reserved.”

“He’s always had strong convictions of right and wrong, and it kind of makes sense,” said Mills, who said he was “shocked” when he heard the news about Snowden.

In her blog, Lindsay Mills, a dancer and art college graduate, writes of a boyfriend she refers to only as “E.” On Monday, she wrote that “at the moment all I can feel is alone.” She said her hand had been forced, that she was typing on a “tear-streaked keyboard,” and that “sometimes life doesn’t afford proper goodbyes.”

Snowden told the South China newspaper that he hasn’t dared contact his girlfriend or family since allowing his identity as the leaker to be revealed Sunday in The Guardian.

His father, now retired from the U.S. Coast Guard and living in Pennsylvania, told ABC News in a brief interview that he was worried about his son and still processing what had happened. Lonnie Snowden said he last saw his son two months ago, over dinner.

Snowden’s parents are divorced and his mother, Elizabeth Snowden, declined to talk to reporters as she left her Maryland home Monday morning.

Joyce Kinsey, a neighbor living next to the gray clapboard condominium in a quiet Ellicott City neighborhood, said Snowden’s mother, whom she knows as “Wendy,” bought the condo more than a dozen years ago.

When he was about 16, Snowden lived in the condo without his family for a couple of years, Kinsey said. His mother would drop by with groceries and a girlfriend visited every weekend.

“You may notice that the main island along South Miami Street now has a water service to it, thanks to utilities supervisor Tim Swartztrauber and will now have electrical service as well, thanks to street superintendant Ben Herron,” Kline said. “It was a nice important key to the parking lot for car washes for fundraisers and that island is also to serve as home to our community Christmas tree this winter.”

Council member Susan Willis offered a reminder regarding the upcoming Fourth of July parade.

“Either stop into the municipal office or go onto our website, www.westmiltonohio.gov, and sign up to be a part of the parade so we have the correct information

for announcing purposes,” Willis said.

Coate closed the meeting with another reminder for the community.

“I would like to ask the village residents to make sure that your house is clearly marked with your house number, it is very helpful for our firefighters as well as others,” Coate said.

Herron said house numbers are available for sale at cost through the fire department or municipal office.

In other business, council also adopted an ordinance to establish the Charter Review Commission. The commission has been formed for the purpose of reviewing and revising the current charter and will consist of nine members of the community, including Mayor Coate and Vice mayor Jason Tinnerman. Its first meeting is at 6:30 p.m. June 24, at the municipal building.

Ham radio demo set for June 22-23 For the Troy Daily News Despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications, every year whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been Amateur Radio.

These radio operators, often called “hams,” provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA and even for the International Space Station.

Tipp City “hams” will join with thousands of other Amateur Radio operators across the country, showing their emergency capabilities over the fourth weekend in June, Saturday, June 22, through June 23 (Field Day weekend).

Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, the Oklahoma tornadoes and other events worldwide. When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. During Field Day weekend, the public will have a chance to meet and talk with the Tipp City area ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio Service is about.

This annual event, called “Field Day,” is the climax of the week-long “Amateur Radio Week” sponsored by the American Radio Relay League

HONOR ROLL

Kyle Elementary TROY — The following students have been named to the honor roll for the fourth quarter of the 2012-13 school year at Kyle Elementary: • Fourth grade: Leah Frazier, Kelsey Munday, Rose Noon and Jayden Stidham.

• Fifth grade: Za’Kya Brewer, Noah Carman, Ashley Grooms, Jenna Gross, John Hogan, Nicholas LeValley, Tianna Nelson, Grace Noon, Blaine Peltier, Caleb Rankin, Skyler Reed, Elijah Reynolds, Payton Ross, Briana Soto, Elijah Vance and Ambrosia Westcott.

TIPP CITY (ARRL), the national association for Amateur Radio.

Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators will construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, “When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works” is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, Internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event.

“The fastest way to turn a crisis into a total disaster is to lose communications,” said Allen Pitts of the ARRL. “From the earthquake and tsunami in Japan to the Oklahoma tornadoes, ham radio provided the most reliable communication networks in the first critical hours of the events. Because ham radios are not dependent on the Internet, cell towers or other infrastructure, they work when nothing else is available. We need nothing between us but air.”

In the Tipp City area,

the Tipp City Amateur Radio Group (TCAR) will be demonstrating Amateur Radio at the Tipp City Park roundhouse starting at 2 pm Saturday, June 22, through noon Sunday, June 23. The public is encouraged to come and see ham radio’s new capabilities and learn how to get their own FCC radio license before the next disaster strikes.

Amateur Radio is growing in the U.S. There are now over 700,000 Amateur Radio licensees in the US, and more than 2.5 million around the world. Through the ARRL’s Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES) program, ham volunteers provide emergency communications for thousands of state and local emergency response agencies and non-emergency community services too, all for free.

To learn more about Amateur Radio, go to www.emergency-radio.org or www.tcar.org. The public is most cordially invited to come, meet and talk with the hams. See what modern Amateur Radio can do. The local hams can even help you get on the air.

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 ROUNDUP The Post and Courier of Charleston on nervous investors being a good sign: Most of President Barack Obama’s conservative critics fairly lament the limited benefits from the “stimulus” plan he helped push through Congress in 2009.

That package is projected to ultimately cost $831 billion.

But since late 2011, the Federal Reserve has been pumping $85 billion a month (that’s a rate of $1.02 trillion a year) into the economy in an ongoing effort to stimulate it.

And the nation’s central bank doesn’t need federal lawmakers’ approval to indulge in that high-stakes enterprise.

So in a perverse yet wholly predictable twist, many investors are getting increasingly jittery about the risks of the economy bouncing back too strongly.

They dread the day when Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke cuts off, or at least slows, that massive monthly money flow.

They know he has repeatedly said, and as recently as May 23, that this “quantitative easAs I ing” will end once he’s convinced that the U.S. economy has grown strong enough to no longer See It need it.

The Conference Board, a non-profit business membership and research organization, announced last week that the Consumer Confidence rating had reached a five-year peak.

And even with the rough ending to the market’s week, the Dow ended May on a six-month winning streak.

Too bad some of that investor enthusiasm is based on the Fed’s easy money. Another less than encouraging note: Figures released Friday showed that unemployment in the 17 European Union countries that use the euro rose to 12.2 percent in April — the highest rate since the shared currency was introduced in 1999.

In our global economy, Europe’s persisting economic woes — including soaring government debt — have negative ripple effects on us.

Closer to home, the U.S. unemployment rate of 7.5 percent, though our lowest in more than four years, is still too high — and still doesn’t reflect the millions of Americans who have given up looking for work over the last five years.

Our record national debt, at $16.75 trillion and rising, is also too high. But at least we’re on track for our lowest federal deficit in the last five years.

Meanwhile, rising housing prices mean more Americans are spending more money to buy homes.

And if that positive trend continues, we might even be able to sustain a not-so “jobless” recovery without the Fed printing a trillion a year that we don’t really have.

When it comes to the NSA, I’ve got nothing to hide So the National Security Administration has started monitoring our cell phone usage. In an effort to control terrorism, the good folks at the NSA (you haven’t truly partied until you’ve partied with a member of the NSA) are tapping into our cell phone records, monitoring our text messages and phone calls.

Haha — that’s a good one.

“Started” monitoring.

The way I figure it, the FBI, CIA, NSA and, in all likelihood, the NCAA, have had files on me for years now. I am, to say the least, a person of interest in most crimes committed around the world. I am, in fact, an outlaw in Peru. All of which means I have nothing left to hide from the federal government.

With that in mind, I’ve decided I may as well go ahead and make my cell phone records a matter of public record and let the whole world see — not just the feds. So NSA, I’ll save you the time and trouble and just go ahead and show my last eight text message exchanges, all of which took place in a 30-minute span, here for all the world to see.

Osaka. Okawa was born March 5, 1898.

“Jiroemon Kimura was an exceptional person,” said Craig Glenday, editorin-chief of Guinness World Records. “As the only man to have ever lived for 116 years and the oldest man whose age has been fully authenticated he has a

truly special place in world history.”

Kyotango officials said Kimura’s funeral would be held Friday.

“Mr. Kimura was and will always be a treasure to our town, to our country and to our world,” said Mayor Yasushi Nakayama.

The new oldest living

man, according to the U.S.Gerontology based Research Group, is James McCoubrey, and American who was born in Canada on Sept. 13, 1901. Now 111 years old, he is the 32nd oldest living person according to GRG’s list, which shows all those older than him are women.

Former PGA golfer Barber dies By the Associated Press Miller Barber, the unique-swinging golfer who made the most combined starts on the PGA and Champions tours, has died. He was 82.

The PGA Tour said Wednesday that Barber died Tuesday. The tour didn’t provide details of the death.

Barber, nicknamed “Mr. X,” played in 1,297 tournaments on the PGA Tour and 50-and-over circuit.

He won 11 times in 694 PGA Tour starts and added 24 victories in 603 events on the Champions Tour.

“We are saddened by the passing of Miller Barber,” PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement. “He was a wonderful player who made his mark on the PGA Tour with 11 victories and then really excelled on Champions Tour, becoming one of its best players in the tour’s formative years.

Miller and the Champions Tour’s other early stars helped establish the tour and make it the tremendous success it has become. Golf has lost a great man and competitor.”

Barber was born in March 31, 1931, in Shreveport, La., and grew up in Texarkana, Texas. He graduated from the University of Arkansas in 1954, served in the U.S. Air Force and joined the tour in 1959. He won the 1964 Cajun Classic Open Invitational for his first tour title.

Known for his unusual swing that featured a flying right elbow, the two-time Ryder Cup player had his best chance to win a major championship in the 1969 U.S. Open at Champions Club outside Houston. But after taking a threestroke lead into the final round, he closed with a 78 to finish three strokes behind winner Orville Moody.

Barber won five majors on the Champions Tour, including a record three U.S. Senior Open titles. He made his last competitive appearance last year in the Liberty Mutual Legends of Golf, teaming with Jim Ferree to tie for 11th in the Demaret Division for players 70 and older.

“Miller Barber was a true gentleman that was special in many ways,” CBS analyst and instructor Peter Kostis said on Twitter. “I will

TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s Jiroemon Kimura, who had been recognized by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living person and the oldest man ever, died Wednesday of natural causes. He was 116.

Kimura, of Kyotango, Japan, was born April 19, 1897.

Officials in Kyotango said he died in a local hospital, where he had been undergoing treatment for pneumonia.

According to Guinness, Kimura was the first man in history to have lived to 116 years old.

Kimura became the oldest man ever on Dec. 28, 2012, at the age of 115 years, 253 days, breaking the record set by Christian Mortensen, a Danish immigrant to the United States, whose life spanned from 1882-1998.

Father’s Day: a well-established tradition Even though Father’s Day is a more recent innovation, it is now celebrated with as much pride and love as Mother’s Day. Of course, there’s nothing really surprising about the significance of this celebration in today’s society, as fathers are playing an increasingly important role within the family in every imaginable way.

day) or Herrentag (gentlemen’s day), during which men leave on a hiking tour, pulling small wagons filled with alcohol and food in order to make merry.

However Father’s Day is celebrated, the principal remains the same: it is a time to thank all dads for the love they show their families.

The idea of celebrating fatherhood originated in the United States at the beginning of the twentieth century, before President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day in 1924.

Then, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed a presidential proclamation declaring the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day. Fathers are now honoured on every continent around the world, but the date of the celebrations can differ from one place to another. Some countries, such as Italy, Portugal, and Spain, celebrate the event on March 19, which is also when the Catholic church celebrates St-Joseph’s feast day.

The type of festivities also varies from country to country. Here in North America it is celebrated like a birthday, with Dad often being given little treats by Mum and the children in a private, family setting. In Germany some regions celebrate Männertag (men’s

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Back away before things start to get serious with your ‘friend’ Dear Annie: About a year ago, I ran into a woman I used to spend time with in high school.

We are both married, although she is going through a divorce.

Since that day, she and I have been talking quite a bit. We discuss a lot of different things, all on a platonic level. The problem is, I believe I am becoming infatuated with her again. I had a thing for her throughout high school but never had the courage to ask her out, probably because I was too afraid to lose our friendship.

I am now in a situation where I won't be home for a few months. I know I will miss her communication. I feel I'm doing something wrong. Is this normal? Do I need to just keep my distance and cease contact? — Back in High School Dear Back: You recognize that you are "becoming" infatuated (we think you are already there) and will miss this woman's communication. The fact that she is going through a divorce also puts you in an awkward position, because she may lean on you for comfort, and when she becomes available, you will find her hard to resist.

Please back far, far away before you find yourself enmeshed in an affair, whether emotional or physical. If your marriage needs revitalizing, work on it. Consider how your wife would feel if she found out how close you are to this other woman. How would you feel if she did this to you? You are playing with fire. Stop.

Dear Annie: This summer, I have my concert tickets ordered and am excited to see some of my favorite performers on stage.

However, I'm unsure of proper etiquette after a problem I encountered last year.

I went to a country concert, which meant plenty of beer and dancing. The problem was, as soon as the audience stood up, the people directly behind me started yelling at my friend and me to sit down. We did, but we couldn't see a thing because of the dozens of rows of people standing in front of us. We stood back up, only to be yelled at again. I turned around and explained that everyone else was standing and they should do the same. They were angry and continued to yell throughout the concert. After the concert, they sarcastically thanked us for ruining their night.

What is the right way to handle people like this? Should I sit and see nothing because misery loves company? — Juliana Dear Juliana: Concerts have evolved into two basic types: The formal concert, where everyone sits, and the informal concert, where people often stand. Once the people in the rows ahead of you get up, you need to do the same in order to see. We have advised people who attend such concerts to try to get seats in the front row or first-row balcony if they want their view unobstructed. Those who are in wheelchairs often find there is a handicapped section, although it may be necessary to find an usher and inquire.

It is unrealistic at informal events to expect hundreds of other people to sit down for your convenience. If this happens again, apologize to the people behind you and suggest that they, too, stand up or move closer to the aisle for a better view. You are not obligated to sit if the people in front of you are standing.

Dear Annie: "An Anxious Mom" was reluctant to give money from her late husband's will to her 58-year-old unemployed son who is living on his veterans benefits. One of your suggestions was to put the money in a trust.

Please suggest she check into creating a Special Needs Trust for her son. If she gives the money directly to him, he will probably spend it very quickly, but he could also lose his VA benefits. She will need to consult a lawyer knowledgeable in these matters. — M. 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

Baking soda might need some help Dear Heloise: My freezer and fridge smell! I do have boxes of baking soda in both, yet they still smell moldy. What do I do? — E. Reed, via fax Simply putting a box of baking soda in the fridge probably won’t do it. There are many other causes for such a smell. Start by checking for leaky containers and old leftovers, and clean out the veggie bins! Then, using equal parts white (or apple cider) vinegar and water, wipe down the inside of your refrigerator. Wash the walls, bins and shelves.

Go ahead and put a new box of baking soda (or a bowl of baking soda on a shelf) in to help absorb

Hints from Heloise Columnist future odors. For more great timesaving and money-saving hints using vinegar and baking soda, order my two pamphlets by sending $8 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (86 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda/Vinegar, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.

Keep in mind that the baking soda in the refrigerator should be replaced often, and DO NOT use it for cooking afterward! The odors it absorbed could transfer into your food! — Heloise CORNER HELPER Dear Heloise: I have a hint for if you have an area rug where one of the corners starts to curl up.

Find a circular metal washer the size of that corner of the rug. Turn over the corner and measure to make sure the washer fits within the corner. Take a needle and thread, and sew the washer to the rug. The weight of the washer will relax that corner. — Diane W. in Kentucky

You can use duct tape, too! — Heloise KEEP FRESH Dear Heloise: I fill the “make your own tea bags” with rice. I then put one in cereal, chips, crackers, powdered drink mix or anything else that can get stale.

Then I seal the bag shut with a clip. It keeps items fresh much longer. — Roger in Indiana SAVE EXTRAS Dear Heloise: Even the occasional visit to a fast-food restaurant can leave you with extra condiment packages and plasticware. I save all these for traveling, camping or for the occasional picnic. — Judy K. in

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, June 14, 2013 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) This is a fun-loving day once again.

Enjoy good times with others. However, guard against making important decisions. Just keep things light.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Socialize at home and enjoy lighthearted company with family members. Do not make important decisions about your home or family today. Just coast.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an upbeat, optimistic day. Get out and enjoy yourself. Choose social situations with lighthearted conversation, especially with neighbors and siblings. (It's a poor day to sign contracts or make important decisions.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Be careful in all financial matters today. Don't spend money on anything other than food. This is not a good day to start work or initiate any kind of money deal.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is a fun-loving, social day. You are very much in touch with your creative energy and artistic talents. Find ways to express these; however, don't spend money today except on food.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You will enjoy solitude in beautiful surroundings if you have a chance to find it today, because you will prefer to withdraw from the busyness of everything around you. It's a good day for some peace and quiet.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A confidential discussion with a female acquaintance could be important for you today. (People are open and frank.)

Nevertheless, don't agree to anything important -- not until tomorrow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) People notice you today, and they might know information about your financial arrangements or something you share or own with someone else.

This is a poor day to make important decisions. Be cool.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Do what you can to delight in a sense of adventure. You'll love to learn something new, because your imagination is heightened. Talk to people from other countries and different backgrounds.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) Others are prepared to help you today; nevertheless, avoid important agreements, and do not promise anything.

Postpone important decisions until tomorrow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) This is a fun-loving, social day! Get out and have some fun. Enjoy sports and playful activities with children. Romance can flourish.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Although your focus is on home and family now, you are concerned about issues at work today. Don't make important decisions. Just attend to business as usual.

YOU BORN TODAY You are bold and gutsy, sometimes to the point of being rebellious. You value your freedom. You excel at managing intricate or involved situations. You do things your way, and once you know what you want, you will not be dissuaded. Good news! Your year ahead might be one of the most powerful years of your life. Dream big!

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, June 13, the 164th day of 2013. There are 201 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On June 13, 1983, the U.S. space probe Pioneer 10, launched in 1972, became the first spacecraft to leave the solar system as it crossed the orbit of Neptune.

On this date: • In 1842, Queen Victoria became the first British monarch to ride on a train, traveling from Slough Railway Station to Paddington in 25 minutes.

• In 1942, the first of two fourman Nazi sabotage teams arrived in the United States during World War II.

(The eight were arrested after one of them went to U.S. authorities; six of the saboteurs were executed.)

• In 1957, the Mayflower II, a replica of the ship that brought the Pilgrims to America in 1620, arrived at Plymouth, Mass., after a nearly two-month journey from England.

• Ten years ago: U.S. forces killed 27 Iraqi fighters after the Iraqis attacked an American tank patrol north of Baghdad. Israel broadened its campaign against Palestinian militants, saying it would strike political as well as military leaders who targeted Israel with terrorism. Hundreds of procleric militants and security forces in

Tehran clashed with Iranians throughout the capital.

• Today’s Birthdays: Magician Siegfried (Siegfried & Roy) is 74.

Actor Malcolm McDowell is 70. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is 69. Actor Richard Thomas is 62.

Actor Stellan Skarsgard is 62.

Comedian Tim Allen is 60. Actress Ally Sheedy is 51. Singer-musician Rivers Cuomo (Weezer) is 43. Actor Steve-O is 39. Country singer Jason Michael Carroll is 35. Actor Chris Evans is 32. Singer Raz B is 28.

Actress Kat Dennings is 27. Actress Mary-Kate Olsen is 27. Actress Ashley Olsen is 27.

Homes burned near Colorado Springs nears 100 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — The number of houses destroyed by a wildfire near Colorado Springs could grow to around 100, and authorities fear it’s possible that some people who stayed behind might have died.

Authorities initially estimated that between 40 and 60 houses were destroyed in Black Forest, a heavily wooded residential area northeast of Colorado Springs, but they are still surveying the damage. El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa said Wednesday he believes around 80 have been lost and he wouldn’t be surprised if the figure reaches or tops 100.

Maketa said there are no reports of anyone missing in the fire, however he fears for those who chose to ignore evacuation orders and stay behind.

“One of my worst fears is that people took their chances and it may have cost them their life,” he said.

Maketa said gusty winds expected later in the day could cause the fire to spread unpredictably.

The fire was one of several that broke out along Colorado’s Front Range Tuesday and quickly spread in high winds and record heat. The fire has burned about 12 square miles and forced the evacuation of more than 7,000 people in an area over 47 square miles. The area is not far from last summer’s devastating Waldo Canyon Fire that destroyed 346

homes and killed two.

“Everywhere you looked, you saw scattered fires, almost like there was a huge convention of campfires everywhere, and periodically you’d see trees just pop into a fireball,” Maketa said.

Wildfires were also burning in New Mexico and California, where a smokejumper was killed fighting one of dozens of lightningsparked fires. Luke Sheehy, of Susanville, Calif., was fatally injured by part of a falling tree in Modoc National Forest.

In Colorado, about 60 miles to the southwest of the Black Forest Fire, a 6square-mile wildfire near Royal Gorge Bridge Park remains 0 percent contained Wednesday morning, but winds are pushing the fire away from Canon City and structures.

The Royal Gorge Fire has destroyed three structures near Canon City, but the soaring suspension bridge spanning a canyon across the Arkansas River appears undamaged.

The bridge has wood planking but is suspended by steel supports. It’s normally a tourist attraction but firefighters are now using it to access the fire.

More than 900 prisoners at the nearby Colorado Territorial Correctional Facility were taken to other prisons overnight because of the danger from heavy smoke, she said. The fire has not reached the prison, built in 1871 and the oldest in the state’s system.

N.D. flood costs top $7M since mid-May

“This was done as a precaution because it takes a lot of time to move the prisoners,” Adrienne Jacobson said.

The medium- and lowrisk prisoners were evacuated by bus, including 24 from an infirmary who were taken to a Denver facility, some in wheelchairs.

A third wildfire in southern Colorado erupted Tuesday in rural Huerfano County. The Klikus Fire had burned an estimated 45 to 50 acres west of La Veta, prompting evacuation orders for about 200 residences.

The causes of those fires weren’t immediately confirmed.

Another fire sparked by lightning Monday in Rocky Mountain National Park has now grown to an estimated 300 to 400 acres. No structures were threatened. Naturally started fires are usually allowed to burn in the park, but fire managers are working to suppress it because of drought conditions and reduced resources, park spokeswoman Kyle Patterson said.

Cindy Winemiller, of Black Forest, was driving back from Austin, Texas, with her boyfriend after visiting her son when a friend called to tell them the forest was on fire. They saw the big plume of smoke from Pueblo, about 30 miles away.

After arriving home, they gathered insurance information and a few pho-

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — eHeavy rains have caused more than $7 million in flood damages in North Dakota since mid-May and the state will ask the federal government to help cover the costs, the North Dakota National Guard commander said.

Parts of North Dakota recorded record rain fall in May and the state could have “significant damage on top of what we already have” if heavy rains continue in June, Maj. Gen. David Sprynczynatyk told the state Emergency Commission Tuesday.

The Emergency Commission, a panel

Shad and Melisa Dohl watch as fire crowns in the trees on a wildfire in the Black Forest area north of Colorado Springs, Colo., on Wednesday. The number of houses destroyed by a wildfire near Colorado Springs could grow to around 100, and authorities fear it’s possible that some people who stayed behind might have died. tos but didn’t have time to get anything else because of the smoke and glow of the fire to the north.

“I’m hoping that it’s OK. Probably smoke damage,

that includes the governor, secretary of state and legislative leaders, on Tuesday approved more than $39 million in floodfighting expenses dating back to 2009, including money for the recent damages.

Gov. Jack Dalrymple, who is on a trade mission in Norway, was represented by Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley on Tuesday.

A separate panel of lawmakers, called the Budget Section, also must approve the request. The committee is meeting June 18.

Flood-fighting expenses approved by the Emergency Commission include $11.1 million in federal funds and about

through the rubble and find personal belongings.

Winemiller said she will do the same this time around “and hope it’s not my home.”

$28 million from the state’s disaster relief fund, said Tammy Dolan, a fiscal analyst for the state Office of Management and Budget.

The state’s disaster relief fund gets revenue from oil and gas taxes in North Dakota and is used to help defray damage costs and to match federal funds from presidential-declared disasters.

Dolan said the fund’s balance would be $38.4 million after the most recent floodfighting costs are factored. The disaster relief fund is expected to get about $22 million in oil and gas tax revenues over the next two years, she said.

FOOD

Give dad fried food on his big day JANET K. KEELER Tampa Bay Times Before Father's Day on Sunday, let's go out on a limb and say that Dad doesn't want a big salad for dinner. Real guys eat it, but quiche won't do, either. You could grill ribs, but suffice it to say the outdoor kitchen is something of a man's world and he is likely to feel obligated to supervise.

Nobody wants that.

So what's left that is brawny enough to salute the mother of all fathers?

How about golden, deepfried bites dipped into a sturdy and spicy sauce?

(Don't tell him it's a French-born remoulade.

That's veering into quiche territory.) Fried foods are both dangerous and delicious, something he doesn't eat regularly, especially at home. Think of them as treats for special days.

Lots of foods, both savory and sweet, are transformed by a dip in the deep fryer.

(You can use a Dutch oven and fry on the stove, but you'll need a thermometer to monitor the temperature.) From chicken wings to Twinkies, the fryer performs miracles on food, giving even the most unlikely things — kosher pickles? — a welcome crunch.

Fried foods have long been bad news for our health, and I don't mean to

A picnic lunch was served to everyone and then the children enjoyed the “Slip and Slide” on the hill. It was chilly in the morning, but by lunchtime it was warmer and the water on the slide cooled everyone off.

Cincinnati Reds’ Aroldis Chapman pitches against the Chicago Cubs during the ninth inning of a baseball game on Wednesday in Chicago. The Reds defeated the Cubs 2-1.

Rolling at Wrigley Reds win record 12th straight in Chicago CHICAGO (AP) — Mike Leake pitched just a little better than former teammate Travis Wood, and helped the Cincinnati Reds extend their dominance of the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Leake combined with Aroldis Chapman on a three-hitter and Todd Frazier hit a tiebreaking home run against Wood in the seventh inning, leading the Reds past the Cubs 2-1 Wednesday for their record 12th straight win at Wrigley Field.

Leake (6-3) won for the fourth time in five decisions, allowing only Nate Schierholtz’s second-inning home run into the right-field bleachers, his eighth of the season. The Cincinnati starter gave up one run and three hits while striking out six

over eight innings.

Facing Wood, Leake said, is “fun, definitely, and frustrating at the same time.”

“You want him to do well and you want yourself to do well,” Leake said. “Today we both did really well, so you can’t complain.”

Wood (5-5) gave up two runs and four hits in seven innings, his third loss in four decisions.

He fell to 0-3 with a 4.65 ERA in five starts against the Reds, who traded him to the Cubs on Dec. 23, 2011, for reliever Sean Marshall.

“Felt good out there today, was locating pretty well and keeping them off balance,” Wood said. “Leake was doing the same, he had an outstanding game today.”

The Reds usually do quite well against the Cubs, especially at Wrigley Field.

Cincinnati is 10-2 overall against the Cubs this season and 25-6 dating to Sept. 13, 2011. Leake improved to 6-2 with a 3.24 ERA in 13 career starts against Chicago.

The previous record for consecutive wins by a visitor at Wrigley was 10, by the St. Louis Cardinals (1943-44) and matched by the New York Giants (1950-51) and Montreal Expos (1982-83), according to STATS. Cincinnati’s Dusty Baker, who managed the Cubs from 2003-06, didn’t have an explanation for the streak at Wrigley.

A night after ending an eightgame losing streak, and a span of 12 losses in a row away from home, the Indians made it consecutive victories to clinch their first road series in a month.

They had gone 0-4-1 in series since taking two of three May 10-12 at Detroit, the only American League team with a better home record than Texas this season.

Mike Aviles also homered for Cleveland, which also won 5-2 on Tuesday after losing the series opener 6-3. The Indians get a day off before starting a nine-game homestand Friday against Washington.

Ubaldo Jimenez (5-4) allowed one run pitching into the sixth.

Rangers rookie right-hander Nick Tepesch (3-6) gave up five runs in five innings with five strikeouts.

The Indians went ahead to stay with two outs in the second when Jason Giambi was hit by a pitch and Aviles homered, his fourth this season, for a 2-0 lead.

An inning later, Michael Bourn had a leadoff infield hit and scored on Michael

Brantley’s single.

Leonys Martin scored both runs for Texas, now 19-10 at home. He led off the third with his third homer, and reached on an error in the ninth before scoring on Jurickson’s Profar’s double.

ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — The affection was genuine. Even better was beating Jack Nicklaus in a playoff. So when Lee Trevino got his hands on that U.S. Open trophy in 1971, the guy who never lacked for one-liners gushed, “I love Merion, and I don’t even know her last name.”

For this generation of stars, Merion is more like a blind date.

No other course with four U.S. Opens had to wait such a long time 32 years for another chance to test the world’s best players.

Even with Tiger Woods back to No. 1 and winning at a ridiculous rate, so much of the talk at this major championship has been about Merion.

For years, it was considered too small to handle such a big tournament and the big hitters with their modern equipment.

And with soft greens from more than 6 inches of rain in the last week, the question is whether the course will yield the kind of scores rarely seen at the toughest test in golf.

Today, the mystery of Merion will start to unfold.

“It’s been how long, 32 years?

And with all the technology since then?” Steve Stricker said as he headed to the first tee Wednesday for one last practice round. “Someone asked me the other day about someone shooting a 62. And what I wanted to say was, ‘You’re crazy.’ But you just don’t know. We don’t know what’s going to happen. And in a way, that’s kind of cool.”

Not so cool was the weather expected for the opening round.

Merion already took a beating last Friday when more than 3 inches of rain sent water over the edges of some bunkers and left small streams on fairways and greens. More rain on Monday caused the course to be closed three times.

The forecast called for increasing clouds, gusts and showers this morning, with stronger storms likely to arrive around noon.

“Sure, we want it firm and fast,” USGA vice president Thomas O’Toole said Wednesday.

“We happen to play a sport that’s played outdoors. We received significant rain over the last week, and some tell us that we’ll have even more significant rain tomorrow. So it’s not a perfect world. It’s not a perfect game.

But we take what we’re dealt with.”

Whether a golf course is big or small, soft greens typically are a recipe for low scores. Then again, Merion is not a typical golf course.

■ College Signings

Signings ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 good showing in Ft. Wayne, Salazar was on Wilmington’s recruiting radar.

“We were playing this one team, and I had like six rebounds in a row and a couple points,” Salazar said. “Coach Sylvester, the assistant varsity coach, came up and talked to me.

I didn’t hear from him for the rest of the summer.

During the season, he came to our Yellow Springs game at home and he came to our sectional finals game. I remember he came up after that game, and he told me,

‘Wow, you hit some clutch free throws; you really impressed me a lot.’

“Then I went on a visit the second week of this season,” he continued. “I went to two games, then I kind of told him I really liked the idea of going there.”

There were, however, other schools that sparked an interest in Salazar, who is the all-time leading rebound at Troy Christian.

It came down to five schools for him, with Anderson University (South Carolina), St. Francis College, Heidelberg and Ohio

Northern being in the mix.

But ultimately, the coaching staff, players, athletic facilities and the opportunity to play in a tough conference like the OAC were just too much to pass up.

The summer seemed to benefit Salazar and his Troy Christian teammates last season, earning their first state berth in school history.

Since then, Salazar has had time to reflect on their accomplishment.

“This past year was unbelievable,” Salazar said. “We had a goal this summer going into the season. We are going to

work harder and train harder than everybody else. We were going to perform better than everybody else. We had a goal going in that we were going to end up in Columbus.”

• Tyler Shinall When the doors closed on the Troy Christian football program last year, Tyler Shinall thought it was the end of his high school football career.

But a new door opened this past fall when Shinall, a former running back for the Eagles, was given an opportunity to play for the Middletown Christian

football team — and that led to him earning a scholarship to play football at Taylor University.

Shinall will play either cornerback or slot receiver at Taylor, a school located in Upland, Ind., that competes at the NAIA level.

He said he is undecided on his major at this point.

“They contacted me this spring,” Shinall said. “I went up to visit, I went to the first game at their new stadium, which really got my attention because it was the grand opening.”

Shinall rushed for roughly 1,800 yards and 28 touchdowns combined

in two seasons at Troy Christian. This past year at Middletown, he ran for 800 yards and scored 16 times. And fortunately for Shinall, getting that chance to play for the other Eagles in the Metro Buckeye Conference helped him earn another four years of football.

“I’m real excited,” Shinall said. “Football is my first love. When Troy Christian got canceled, I didn’t think I would play again, then I was able to play at Middletown. I’m real excited to get another four years at Taylor. I couldn’t be happier.”

Reds

Backs against the wall

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 “I don’t know, man,” Baker said. “Just feel fortunate that it happens when it happens.”

Cesar Izturis got the Reds’ first hit off Wood with an infield single in the fifth, and Cincinnati tied the score in the sixth when Shin-Soo Choo doubled and scored on Brandon Phillips’ two-out single.

Leake retired 12 consecutive batters before Darwin Barney singled with one out in the eighth.

By then, Frazier had hit his eighth homer, sending a 1-0 pitch through a wind and into the left-field bleachers, giving the Reds a 2-1 lead.

Frazier has homered in consecutive games since Baker gave him the day off Monday to “study and watch” what was happening.

“Just trying to find different release points, trying to pick up pitches,” Frazier said he did on his day off. “It’s really hard to do, but at the same time it keeps you concentrating on the game the whole time.”

Chapman struck out two in a perfect ninth for his 17th save in 19 chances to give Cincinnati its third straight win since losing two of three last weekend to first-place St. Louis.

“St. Louis is a good team. They’re a battle every time, so I don’t think we really got down because we know they’re a good team, we know they’re going to be tough,” Leake said. “We just have to take advantage of games that we need to really work hard. It’s definitely good we’ve gotten three in a row from them.”

Not much has been

going that way for the Cubs.

They’ve lost eight of 10 since a five-game winning streak, and fell to a seasonworst 13 games below .500.

In their last five losses they’ve scored a combined seven runs.

“It’s a broken record,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. “Woody’s just pitched another great game and has nothing to show for it.”

Unfortunately for the Cubs, that’s usually how it goes for them against the Reds at Wrigley.

“We’re just having fun.

That’s the only thing I can say,” Frazier said. “We’re relaxed when we play here.

We like playing here. Who doesn’t like playing here?”

NOTES: Chicago’s Starlin Castro went 0 for 3 and is in a 4-for-48 slide (.083). He hit in the No. 6 slot for only the second time in his career. … Choo, normally the Reds’ leadoff hitter, was second in the batting order while Derrick Robinson was first.

Choo entered 0 for 6 with four strikeouts against Wood. … The Cubs placed RHP Zach Putnam on the 15-day DL and recalled LHP Brooks Raley from Triple-A Iowa. … When asked if LHP Tony Cingrani would stay in the Cincinnati rotation, Baker said “Who’s spot is he going to take?” Cingrani gave up two earned runs in seven innings Tuesday, but the Reds hope Johnny Cueto will be able to return Sunday against Milwaukee. … Alfonso Soriano pinch hit and had a game-ending groundout. … Thursday’s pitching matchup is Cincinnati’s Mat Latos (6-0, 2.87) against the Cubs’ Jeff Samardzija (3-7, 3.18).

Post 43 defeats Lima Legion, 5-4 Staff Report

TROY

Sometimes teams have to find a way to win ugly.

Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown understands that.

On Tuesday, Post 43 overcame four errors to defeat Lima Legion 5-4 in 10 innings of play. Evan Bowling’s RBI single in the bottom of the tenth

scored the winning run as Post 43 improved to 11-5 on the year.

“It’s probably not going to be one of our best defensive efforts, but we were able to find a way to win ugly,” Brown said.

Garrett Mitchell finished the game 3 for 3 for Post 43.

Blackhawks, Bruins head to overtime in Stanley Cup CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks got third-period goals from Dave Bolland and Johnny Oduya to tie the Boston Bruins 3-3 and send a riveting Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals to overtime.

In the first championship meeting in 34 years between Original Six franchises, Milan Lucic scored twice and Patrice Bergeron added a powerplay goal just over six minutes into the third to give Boston a 3-1 lead.

But the Blackhawks came storming back after that.

Andrew Shaw picked off a clearing attempt by

Torey Krug and fed Bolland on a two-on-one rush to pull Chicago within one with 12 minutes left in regulation.

Lucic then got stopped on a two-on-one by Corey Crawford midway through the third, and Oduya tied it for Chicago when his shot from the point deflected off Andrew Ference and bounced past Tuukka Rask.

Just like that, the Blackhawks were back in it. Corey Crawford fought off a big flurry by Boston in the closing minutes, and the game went to overtime with Chicago outshooting Boston 39-25 after getting off to a slow start.

Heat must get back on track after Game 3 thumping SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Game 4 of the NBA Finals will tell more about the Miami Heat than a 66-win regular season ever could.

Any questions about LeBron James and the Heat were supposed to have been answered by now. He was too good to be taken out of games, his teammates too talented to go through long stretches where they weren’t contributing.

But they didn’t resemble the league’s reigning powerhouse in Game 3, when the San Antonio Spurs handed them the third-worst beating in finals history in a 113-77 romp. They looked like the confused club from two years ago, when the finals last came to Texas.

Another loss Thursday night and they’re on the verge of something much bigger than another finals failure.

Lose this series, and the whole Big Three era might be a failure.

“Something has to give tomorrow night,” James said Wednesday. “They have a championship pedigree.

They have four (titles). We have two. So something has to give. We’ll see what happens. We’ve been able to bounce back throughout adverse times throughout the season throughout the years that we’ve been together, these three years.

We’ll see.”

“We’ll see” is the approach the Spurs are taking with Tony Parker, who has a mild hamstring strain. The team is calling the All-Star point guard day to day after he was hurt during Game 3 and had an MRI exam Wednesday.

“I want to wait until tomorrow before I make a decision whether he should play or not,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “And obviously a lot of it will have to do with Tony, and what happens to him during the day, and how I think his play will affect our team, whether good or bad.”

The Spurs didn’t need much from him Tuesday, when Danny Green and Gary Neal combined for 13 of the Spurs’ NBA Finalsrecord 16 3-pointers and Kawhi Leonard had 14 points and 12 rebounds, essentially playing James even.

James had his practice jersey hanging over his back like a cape Wednesday, and he knows the Heat need him to be Super on Thursday.

And he insists that what he’s going to be.

“As dark as it was last night, can’t get no darker than that, especially for me,” he said. “So, I guarantee I’ll be better tomorrow for sure.”

He should, given that his 7-for-21 effort with no free throws was about as bad as the four-time MVP can play.

Miami Heat’s LeBron James falls to the floor as he goes after a loose ball against San Antonio Spurs’ Manu Ginobili during the first half of Game 3 of the NBA Finals series Tuesday in San Antonio.

But he came to Miami so he didn’t have to do it all, where a partnership with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh meant his days of having to carry teams were supposed to be over.

But with Wade battling right knee pain for a while and Bosh mired in a slump, there has rarely been the vaunted three-man attack that was expected when they joined up in July 2010.

“If us three don’t lead the charge, we’re not going to be NBA champions,” Wade said. “Our teammates count on us, so we have to step up.”

Some of the problem could be fatigue for a team that was forced into some playoff-atmosphere games in the regular season while trying to extend what became a 27-game winning streak, the second-longest in league history. With a huge lead in the standings in March, the Heat could have instead opted to give their veterans some extra rest.

That’s what Popovich has always done, essentially sacrificing a couple of lengthy winning streaks in recent years by resting key players when they were still intact.

“There are no right and wrong answers to the way people do things, because it’s pretty hard to assess and evaluate,” Popovich said. “Suffice to say, everybody has a different approach to playing time or when to sit or not sit players. And we do it one way, other teams do it differently. There’s no one to say one way is right or the other way is right.”

But the Heat’s way will be second-guessed just like everything about them is if they don’t pull out this series. There will be calls to break up the Big Three, criticisms of James, and everything else that Tim Duncan and the Spurs never had to deal with in small-market San Antonio.

“I guess if you allow yourself to be affected by it and you allow yourself to look and read everything, then everyone is under a microscope,” Duncan said.

“As I’ve said, I don’t envy that kind of scrutiny and pressure in any way.”

It’s what the Heat signed up when James arrived and guaranteed titles three summers ago, and the pressure became even greater after they flopped the first time with

their loss to Dallas at the end of their first season together.

The Heat looked so vulnerable then, but seeing them as bewildered as they were Wednesday was stunning. James too often seemed to linger around the perimeter, an old habit reappearing when it seemed he’d put it aside for good and wouldn’t allow himself to settle for jumpers anymore when he could go into the post instead.

Part of the reason is the Spurs, with a solid defensive game plan and a versatile defender in Leonard who can apply it. But the Heat also realized another problem was simply their own effort or lack thereof in going for rebounds and loose balls.

“We just collectively played a very bad basketball game last night. And that was everybody, including the staff. It was hard to really judge anything and evaluate anything from that game,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “That’s why after the film session, all we’re focused on is how we prepare the next 24 hours to have our best game of the series tomorrow night.”

Nets hire Jason Kidd as coach By the Associated Press The Brooklyn Nets hired Jason Kidd as their coach Wednesday, bringing the former star back to the franchise he led to its greatest NBA success.

Kidd retired earlier this month after one season

with the New York Knicks, his 19th in the NBA. The Nets decided to hire him to replace P.J. Carlesimo despite his absence of coaching experience.

“Jason Kidd has a long and legendary history with the Nets and with the city of New York,” Nets owner

Mikhail Prokhorov said in a statement. “He has the fire in the belly we need, and has achieved as a player everything the Brooklyn Nets are striving to achieve. We believe he will lead us there. Welcome home, Jason.”

The move reunites Kidd

with the franchise he led to consecutive NBA Finals in 2002-03, when they played in New Jersey. He spent 6½ seasons with the Nets, averaging 14.6 points, 9.1 assists and 7.2 rebounds, and is their career leader in numerous statistical categories.

U.S. Open ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 It measures 6,996 yards on the scorecard the shortest of any major championship in nine years and has a stretch of seven holes in the middle that are short even by yesterday’s standards. Compare those holes with the scorecard from when Ben Hogan won the 1950 U.S. Open at Merion, and four of those holes were actually longer by a few yards in Hogan’s day.

Players typically reach for the wedge to chip out of the rough around the greens at the U.S. Open. At Merion, they could be hitting wedge into the green for their second shot on at least six holes. That’s what has caused all the clamor about low scores.

And with the rain, it’s reminiscent of how Congressional was vulnerable two years ago, when Rory McIlroy shattered U.S. Open scoring records at 16-under 268.

“I’ve been reading about how many scoring records are going to be broken,” Nick Watney said. “I’ve been around here once. And I think that’s insane. It’s funny to me. People look at the yardage and think it’s going to be easy. Even if it’s soft, the greens are sloped.

The rough is thick. OK, we’ll have wedges into some of the greens, but that doesn’t mean you make birdie on all those holes.

There’s enough tough holes to counteract that.”

Even so, the winning score has gone down in each of the four previous U.S. Opens at Merion, from Olin Dutra at 13-over par in 1934 to David Graham winning at 7-under in 1981, the last time this major championship was here.

“Where did David Graham shoot 7-under?

From there?” Nick Watney asked as he pointed the end of his driver to a spot some 30 yards from where he was standing. “Because he didn’t do it from here.”

Watney was standing in the middle of the putting green. He took three steps to his right and was standing on the 14th tee. As an example of longer holes being made more difficult, a new tee on the 464-yard hole is where members practice putting.

The biggest fear with rain on the horizon is what will happen the rest of the week. The forecast is reasonable after today, but in soft conditions, balls start to pick up clumps of mud as the sun starts to dry the course. And while players often are allowed to lift, clean and place their golf balls in the fairway in muddy conditions on the PGA Tour, they don’t do that at the U.S. Open.

Remember, the USGA famously referred to the local rule as “lift, clean and cheat.”

“We wouldn’t be adopting that rule this week,” O’Toole said.

It all begins with Cliff Kresge hitting the opening shot of the 113th U.S. Open at 6:45 a.m. today weather permitting, of course.

Woods, McIlroy and Masters champion Adam Scott play Thursday afternoon in the power grouping of Nos. 1, 2 and 3 in the world. Sergio Garcia plays on the opposite side of the draw, teeing off Thursday morning. So does Phil Mickelson, who left Philadelphia on Monday when the weather was bad to practice in San Diego. He planned on being home, anyway, so he could watch his oldest daughter graduate from the eighth-grade.

Mickelson was scheduled to arrive about 4:15 a.m.

Thursday, just three hours before his tee time.

Stricker called Merion the “longest short course I’ve ever played.” Graeme McDowell is another guy who isn’t buying into the fear over low scoring.

“Everyone is saying that it’s going to be 62s and 63s on this golf course, which I kind of disagree with at the minute,” McDowell said. “I think 10 or 11 of these golf holes are as tough as any U.S. Open I’ve seen.”
