States say ‘no’ to new health law Could see downside of denying plan WASHINGTON (AP) — For Gov. Rick Perry, saying “no” to the federal health care law could also mean turning away up to 1.3 million Texans, nearly half the uninsured people who could be newly eligible for coverage in his state.

Gov. Chris Christie not only would be saying “no” to President Barack Obama, but to as many as

245,000 uninsured New Jersey residents as well.

The Supreme Court’s recent ruling gave governors new flexibility to reject what some Republicans deride as “Obamacare.” But there’s a downside, too.

States that reject the law’s Medicaid expansion risk leaving

behind many of their low-income uninsured residents in a coverage gap already being called the new “doughnut hole” — a reference to a Medicare gap faced by seniors.

Medicaid is a giant federalstate health insurance program for the poor, now mostly covering children, mothers and disabled people. The expansion in Obama’s

health care overhaul was originally expected to add roughly 15 million uninsured low-income people, mainly adults without children, who currently are not eligible in most states. Washington would pick up the entire cost for the first three years, with the federal share then dropping to 90 percent. The Medicaid expansion accounts for about half the total number of

Farmers talk PYO farms

Summer Jam set

As berry season reaches its peak in the Northeast, frustrated farmers are fighting back against customers who think “PYO” stands for pilfer-your-own instead of pick.

Faced with having their fields treated like all-you-can-eat buffets, farmers who run pick-yourown or “u-pick” operations are using a variety of measures to recoup their losses, from offering gentle (or not) reminders to charging higher prices or even admission fees to get on the fields.

Irma Goodrich, who owns Saltbox Farm in Stratham, got so fed up last year that she shut down her farm a month earlier than usual.

BY NATALIE KNOTH Staff Writer nknoth@tdnpublishing.com For Patty Gostomsky, working as deputy registrar at the county license agency was so much more than a job.

“Those customers were a part of my life. I enjoyed seeing them, and they always remembered me,” said Gostomsky, 66, who started as an office manager in 1991 before becoming deputy registrar in June of 1993.

Gostomsky was passed over for the position of deputy registrar this year after 20 years in the position.

“It’s been difficult, very difficult.

It’s hard for me to take it. Still is,” she said. “There were lots of tears shed on both sides of the counter. I spent as much time there as at home, if not more. I was kind of married to it as much as I am to my husband. I came in on Sundays to get work started and to clean a bit before Monday.”

Her last day was June 30, which

”

that the office was laid out in a way in which employees could move around freely and efficiently.

“We had a lot of people come from Huber Heights, Dayton, Sidney and other places outside the county because they worked here (in Miami County) and knew they could get in and out,” she said.

She was especially sensitive to the concerns of elderly people, who often worried about the eye exam portion.

Though the exam was handled by a different staff, Gostomsky recalled

was preceded by a few heartfelt, tearful farewell parties. The Miami County BMV in Troy was “the first one-stop shop” in Ohio, she recalled, consisting of a title office, license bureau, drivers exam station and auto salvage. The office originally dealt with only drivers licenses and plates but then grew to handle dog tags, boat registrations, passport photo and WebCheck, a fingerprintbased computerized system for background checks.

Gostomsky recalled having holiday lunches with her coworkers — whom she affectionately calls “my girls” — and having the office decorated in a homey, cheerful way at all times.

“We always had flowers and decorations for holidays. We tried to make it a friendly atmosphere,” she said, “because no one likes to go to the BMV.” Gostomsky implemented a numbers system for the line of customers and added chairs to make waiting more comfortable. She also ensured

Ever since the invention of the record player, teens have taken their own “rock n’roll” very seriously.

Despite record players being replaced by iPods and mp3 players, four organizations have collaborated to give local Miami County teenagers their own concert on Prouty Plaza, starting at 7:30 p.m. tonight.

“Summer Jam” kicks off its first year with three local bands playing 30 minute sets. According to Troy-Hayner Cultural Center’s director Linda Lee Jolly, a teen concert was on a local teen advisory committee’s wish list.

“The teens help chose the bands and all three are favorites from the area,” Jolly said. “It’s pretty exciting for them to have something of their own to look forward to.”

Along with the TroyHayner Cultural Center, other sponsors include Troy-Miami County Public Library, Lincoln Community Center and the Troy Rec. “Each organization will have an information booth at the vent through the night,” Jolly said. “We’re pretty excited to be able to provide a fun concert, especially for a teen audience.”

The teen advisory board hopes to expand the “pilot performances” some day to a teen music festival, Jolly said.

PIQUA

At Tuesday’s Piqua City Commission meeting, Bill Lutz, development manager, gave an update on the former Piqua Memorial Medical Center site.

“The project began April 25 and is expected to be finished Oct. 15.

We’re still working toward that,” said Lutz, explaining how the project consists of two phases. The first phase will see to the remediation of the building followed by demolition, with a notation of having received a lot of comments about nothing appearing to be happening at the location.

“That’s good, if you actually see things happening, in terms of people in white suits walking outside

the building with things in their hands, that’s not a good sign,” said Lutz. “Because those materials they are handling are potentially hazardous and that could be a threat to public health.”

Most of the remediation is occurring at the back of the structure and once completed, the associated buildings will be ready for demolition.

These buildings consist of three primary structures, with the former hospital building itself, a fourstory concrete, brick facade structure with a partial basement and tunnel system, at an approximate 150,000 square feet.

There is also a three-story brick administration building at approx-

imately 7,200 square feet, not including a basement.

All that remains of the third structure is a concrete basement belonging to what had been a power house, which is accessible through a tunnel that is connected to the hospital and is estimated at 2,200 square feet in size.

As of Tuesday’s commission meeting, parts of the site, including the nurses building, have been completed in terms of remediation and are going through what Lutz explained as clearance testing.

Once remediated, or cleaned, the site will be ready for demolition.

This much-anticipated project was given a boost in August 2011 when the city was awarded $2 million from the Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund (CORF) and passage of a levy in November that

will see the site as a future school campus.

The city has been very successful in receiving funds from CORF in the past with $5 million granted since the program’s inception. This includes $1.4 million for cleanup behind the power plant area that will see the removal of metal and concrete structures and asphalt for what will be a river front park.

Commission meetings are held every first and third Tuesday of the month at 7:30 p.m. at the commission chamber on the second floor of the Government Municipal Complex.

The next commission meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 7, will include a community partnership award and updates on the new power sys-

uninsured people projected to get coverage under the law.

If every state were to reject that Medicaid expansion — as the Supreme Court ruling now allows — some low-income people would still be picked up by other coverage provisions meant to help the middle class.

But nearly 11.5 million uninsured people below the federal poverty line would be left behind in a new coverage gap, according to recent estimates from the Urban Institute. That brings to mind the infamous “doughnut hole” in the Medicare prescription drug benefit, in which seniors with high drug costs find themselves paying out of pocket much of the year.

Those who fall into the new gap would neither qualify for Medicaid in their states under current rules nor be eligible for subsidized private insurance in new state marketplaces that Obama’s law calls

assumption that every state would take the Medicaid expansion and fewer uninsured people would be needing charity care.

“You are still paying for that coverage expansion but not getting the benefit of it,” said Herb Kuhn, president of the Missouri Hospital Association. “So you as a state are exporting your dollars to another state. If you have some adjoining state that accepts (the Medicaid expansion) then you are basically sending your dollars to your neighbor.”

Kuhn’s state is leaning against the expansion. Since the Supreme Court ruling last month, Republican leaders in at least 10 states have indicated they will reject or lean toward rejecting the Medicaid expansion. They cite a combination of reasons, including strained budgets, lack of confidence that Washington will honor its financial commitments in the long run and years of frustration with Medicaid mandates that limit

Romney: Obama focuses on his job, not unemployment BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (AP) — A defiant Mitt Romney brushed aside more calls for the release of his tax returns on Wednesday and instead accused President Barack Obama of protecting his job at the expense of millions of unemployed Americans.

Intensifying his attacks as Obama focused on official meetings in Washington, the Republican presidential candidate told an overflowing Ohio crowd that the Democrat hasn’t met with his jobs council in more than six months. In that time, however, Romney says Obama held 100 fundraisers.

“His priority is not creating jobs for you,” Romney declared in Bowling Green.

“His priority is trying to keep his own job. And that’s why he’s going to lose it.”

For the often-reserved Romney, the fiery rhetoric marks an aggressive shift as he struggles to answer questions about his business career and personal tax returns. The former businessman, who would be among the nation’s wealthiest presidents if

exchanges.

Low-income children and mothers would continue to have insurance through Medicaid. Then, starting in 2014, millions of people over the poverty line would have subsidized private coverage through the new exchanges. “And then this group in the middle has nothing,” said Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors.

His organization takes no position on what states should do.

Things only get trickier from there.

Many states might actually go along with the Medicaid expansion.

“This is a lot of federal dollars that will lead to a lot of people having health care,” said Salo. That means federal taxes from states opting out would be helping to subsidize coverage elsewhere.

And hospitals in opt-out states would still get hit with cuts programmed in the law under the

elected, has broken from tradition so far, having released just one year of income tax personal returns and promised to release a second.

But in speeches across four states this week, Romney has thrilled supporters with aggressive attacks on Obama and charges of “crony capitalism.”

At the same time, the Republican’s campaign has teased reporters with news that Romney’s selection of a running mate could come any day, forcing new attention on what may be the most important decision of the campaign so far.

National polls suggest that the candidates are locked in a tight race less than four months before voters weigh in. Obama was expected to return to campaigning Thursday for a two-day swing though Florida.

The growing war of words between the campaigns drew a response from House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who took a rare step into the presidential race Wednesday.

Congress’ top Republican told reporters Washington that in Obama’s criticism of Romney’s career and taxes are meant to distract from the administration’s handling of the economy.

Boehner said Obama’s

questions are an “attack on the private sector” and show that the president “doesn’t give a damn about middle-class Americans who are out there looking for work.”

The speaker also offered a warning for those, including fellow Republicans, who are calling on Romney to make more tax returns public. “The American people are asking, ‘Where are the jobs?’” Boehner said.

“They’re not asking where the hell the tax returns are.

It’s not about tax returns, it’s about the economy.”

The warning didn’t quiet the critics of Romney’s stand on tax returns.

“If you’re going to run for president, it’s not necessarily comfortable but it has become a tradition and it’s an important one, you make your tax returns available because you think the American people deserve that kind of transparency,” Obama spokesman Jay Carney told reporters.

Several high-profile Republicans joined the call for transparency, including Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar, Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson, and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who challenged Romney for the GOP nomination earlier in the year.

state choices and shift costs from the federal government.

But other state officials are saying they will study their options and wait until after the November elections to decide. If Republican Mitt Romney wins the White House and starts dismantling Obama’s law, opt-out states might not have to face the Medicaid doughnut hole. But the whole calculation changes if Obama is reelected and his overhaul starts looking more and more like a done deal.

If that happens, some experts expect that states now refusing will try to cut deals with the federal government, angling for concessions on the expansion itself or the rest of their Medicaid programs.

“One of the things that happens in cases like these is negotiated settlements with specific states,” said Dan Mendelson, president of Avalere Health, an analytical firm serving health care industry and government clients.

Invasive insect found in U.S. BOISE, Idaho (AP) — An invasive insect commonly found in south-central Europe has been detected in southwestern Idaho, marking the first time the elm seed bug has been spotted in the U.S., according to federal officials.

A U.S. Agriculture Department specialist has confirmed the discovery of the pests that officials say don’t pose a threat to trees, despite their name — but do tend to enter houses and buildings in huge swarms.

The Idaho Department of Agriculture issued a statement Wednesday warning that the bugs recently found in Ada and Canyon counties can prove to be a “significant nuisance” for homeowners.

Area soldiers take part in military celebration Ryan M. Maloy Edward S. Kessler Gage C. Baerlin USS ENTERPRISE —Three area residents deployed on the USS Enterprise recently took part in a celebration marking the 70th anniversary of the World War II Battle of Midway.

Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Ryan M. Maloy, son of Vina Maloy of Tipp City; Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Gage C. Baerlin, son of Kim A. and David L. Baerlin of Tipp City; and Navy Master Chief Petty Officer Edward S. Kessler, son of Pamela J. and Douglas J. Kessler of Troy, took part in the observance.

Maloy, along with fellow sailors and marines aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65), commemorated the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Midway with a ceremony, a fitting tribute given the ship’s close ties to the battle.

The previous USS Enterprise (CV 6) and her wing played a vital role in the pivotal World War II battle that took place June 4-7, 1942.

The Battle of Midway is regarded as the turning point in the war of the Pacific.

Alongside three other carriers, the USS Enterprise and the U.S. Strike Forces defeated the Imperial Japanese navy carrier task force under the direction of commander in chief of the Japanese Combined Fleet, Adm. Yamamoto. USS Enterprise and its wing were credited with sinking three of the four Japanese carriers that day at Midway.

At the opening of the ceremony, Rear Adm. Ted Carter, commander,

Enterprise Carrier Strike Group, described the heroic roles of the sailors and marines who fought and died during the historic battle.

“We were not without losses of our own, however, ” said Carter. “Although Enterprise was not attacked during the battle, her air wing suffered the heaviest losses of any air wing at sea up to that point.”

Hamilton, commander, Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1, Capt. Jeffery L. Trent and Capt. Joseph J. Leonard, commodore, Destroyer Squadron 2, also spoke about the roles USS Enterprise, the air wing and the destroyer strike group played during the battle.

“Knowing this is our legacy, it is an absolute honor and privilege to remember the heroes of the Battle of Midway aboard our nation’s most historic and legendary aircraft carrier, a great warship with a longstanding bond with Destroyer Squadron Two, ” said Leonard.

The partnership between Enterprise and Destroyer Squadron 2 began at Midway 70 years ago and continues today.

As part of the commemoration, Enterprise’s First Class Petty Officers performed a wreath-laying ceremony on the fantail aboard the ship.

The fallen sailors and marines were also honored with a 21-gun salute and the sounding of “Taps.”

Maloy is a 2006 graduate of Tippecanoe High School of Tipp City, and joined the Navy in April 2009.

Kessler is a 1988 graduate of Miami East High School of Casstown, Ohio and joined the Navy in June 1988.

Baerlin joined the Navy in December 2009.

Question: Do you support “Obamacare?”

Watch for final poll results in

Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

Watch for a new poll question

in Sunday’s Miami Valley Sunday News.

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 Chicago Sun-Times on cellphone privacy: If Congress suddenly passed a law requiring all citizens to carry tracking devices that monitored their movements and snooped into their private communications 24/7, the outcry would be huge.

But as a report in the New York Times shows, that has pretty much happened on its own, without Congress or most of the rest of us noticing.

Last year, cellphone carriers gave officials text messages, cellphone locations and other private information 1.3 million times. Because a single request can involve multiple phone users, the actual number of citizens who were tracked undoubtedly was far higher. And there’s every reason to believe the number will keep growing exponentially unless government acts.

With no reliable safeguards in place, the possibilities for abuse are limitless. And because government can store the information indefinitely, no one who carries a cellphone regularly can feel his or her privacy is secure.

Big Brother should have had it this good.

If Congress can’t snap out of its gridlock to do something about this, state governments should act. Law enforcement must be able to do its job, but privacy rights can’t be trampled in the process.

The Reporter-Herald, Loveland, Colo., on municipal court fines: More Americans are learning it’s not hard to get into a fine mess.

A recent New York Times story detailed the problems people can face as court fees and fines add up.

One Alabama woman was fined $179 for speeding three years ago.

She failed to show up at court — she said the ticket had the wrong date — so her driver’s license was revoked. Pulled over again, she was fined for driving without a license, and her bill grew to $1,500.

But the problem got worse when a private probation company became involved after she was unable to pay that tab.

She was jailed, then charged an additional fee for each day she spent behind bars. In all she has been locked up three times for a total of 40 days and owes $3,170, much of it to the probation company.

Unfortunately, her problems are not unique, as more municipalities turn over their probation systems to for-profit companies. …

The Conference of State Court Administrators recently cautioned that the fines, fees and surcharges associated with traffic violations should not be “simply an alternate form of taxation.” The Brennan Center for Justice has warned that extra fines and fees “create new paths to prison for those unable to pay their debts and make it harder to find employment and housing as well as to meet child support obligations.”

When the penalty for a simple speeding ticket can mushroom into thousands of dollars, the system needs to be changed.

Americans expect and deserve their courts, and their fines, to be fair.

Warren (Ohio) Tribune Chronicle on F-22 problems: In April 2008, some pilots flying the Air Force’s vaunted F-22 Raptor began reporting trouble breathing while in the air. More than four years later, the Pentagon still hasn’t solved the problem, apparently a serious one involving equipment.

A few pilots actually have refused to fly the F-22, because of the oxygen system failure.

The F-22, at more than $400 million each when fully equipped, is among the most advanced weapons in the U.S. arsenal. It is a stealth craft, made to invade enemy airspace without being detected. Given the shift in tactics used by the armed forces, it is critical the Air Force be able to deploy F-22s whenever and wherever they are needed.

Yet earlier this year, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta ordered no F22 be sent on a mission outside a “proximate distance” from a base — in case pilots suffer oxygen deprivation.

Some members of Congress, both Democrat and Republican, want answers about the F-22. They should insist on assurances pilots are not being jeopardized — and national defense is not being hampered. Then, they should demand to know why it took so long for the Air Force to address what clearly is a serious problem.

DOONESBURY

Family road trip leads to plenty of road rage The biggest problem with going on a family vacation is, more often than not, the family actually wants to tag along.

This past weekend, I took my family on a whirlwind trip to the vacation mecca of Indianapolis (civic motto: “Less Crime, Fun Than Chicago”). I did this because I love my family and, as such, am both legally and morally obligated to take them on at least one family vacation per year, up to and including the day I die.

We considered Indianapolis a mini-vacation (as opposed to a maximum-vacation, which to me would be a lot like a “maximum sentence.”) We figured it was far enough to get away, but close enough so that our children wouldn’t get obnoxious in the car.

Our kids were, much to our surprise, very well-behaved in the car, mostly because we have spent well in excess of $10,000 on electronic equipment to ensure that, at no point, we actually have to have any sort of human interaction with our children.

When I was a kid, passing time in the car meant counting up the number of times alternately cussed at, and gave the finger to, other drivers on the

David Fong Troy Daily News Executive Editor road. On one family vacation to the World’s Fair in Knoxville, Tenn. in 1982 (no, seriously!), that total reached 168. Kids these days don’t have to make up such interesting games to keep themselves amused. In the back seat of our car we have two DVD players, one iPad, two Nintendo hand-held games and a bocci ball court.

(I am, of course, teasing — we only have one Nintendo game).

All that backseat entertainment doesn’t do anything to eliminate the fact that my children will — invariably at the worst possible time — have to go to the bathroom during the drive.

This usually occurs roughly 30 seconds after we have pulled away from a gas station or restaurant and immersed ourselves in bumper-to-bumper traf-

— Pam Cole Troy

fic with no exit anywhere in sight. And not only do they have to go to the bathroom, they have to “GO TO THE BATHROOM RIGHT NOW, DADDY, AND I CAN’T HOLD IT ANY LONGER, NOT EVEN FOR A SECOND!!!”

This is usually right around the time I wish my children were still in diapers and makes me truly question the entire pottytraining process.

This is also the time I ask them why they didn’t go when we were stopped 30 seconds ago and they inform me, less than politely, that they didn’t have to go 30 seconds ago, but they have to go right now and if they don’t go right now, I am going to see a spill that will make the Exxon Valdez look like a waltz in Vienna.

Of course, there’s also the problem of feeding the children while on vacation — namely, the fact the law requires me to feed them three times per day. While on vacation, my children insist on eating only in restaurants that offer some sort of plastic toy to go along with the meal. Now don’t get me wrong, I like eating cheeseburgers and french fries just as much as the next guy, but every now and then I like to maintain a nutritious and well-

balanced diet and mix in some chicken wings as well.

And quite naturally, roughly 30 seconds after leaving the restaurant of their choosing, I will hear one of my kids in the back of the car inform me, “Dad, I’m hungry!”

Once you arrive at your destination of choice, the real fun is just getting started. My idea of a dream vacation is sitting next to a pool and not doing anything more physically taxing than scratching my own posterior. My children’s idea of a dream vacation is pumping enough money into the local economy to earn a special citation from the local chamber of commerce. This means me driving them even more places where they will either be hungry or have to go to the bathroom or, at the very least, demand I buy them a $47 souvenir.

There is, however, a solution to all of this family vacation madness.

Next year, I’m getting a new family.

Stir up a delicious morning soup Daughters Susan and Verena worked six long days last week de-tasseling corn. By Saturday night they were tired girls.

Verena’s brace rubbed her foot open in two places. I wanted her to stay home today but she wanted to go detasseling again.

Benjamin is now a teenager since the 14. And Joe and I had our 19th anniversary yesterday, July 15.

Time has gone too fast.

Daughter Loretta sat down one day last week to write the column. She said she wanted to do something to help me out. I am glad she did because it was good for her to put her thoughts into writing.

She has a journal that she writes in, which is a good way for her to vent through this difficult trial which she is facing at this young age in her life. Here is what she wrote: I hope you are all doing great. I had a wonderful day today. For breakfast, we had grilled cheese sandwiches and cereal. I love grilled cheese.

Sister Lovina dries the dishes for me while I wash them. Then I swept and mopped the floors.

With all of us home from school the floors get tracked up fast.

Mom, Elizabeth, Benjamin,

up and then I will fall. It happens a lot when I am coming down the stairs.

It is really hard to know that I can’t do all the stuff that I used to. I want to keep my faith in God. I know God will help me if I have faith in him. I get discouraged a lot, but I am so happy my family is there to help make things easier for me.

Lovina Eicher I have to try to keep looking on Troy Daily News Guest the bright side.

about it and thought it was funny. One time Susan was helping me and my knee started giving out but Susan just pulled me back up. I don’t know what I would do without their help.

One night when Susan’s friend Mose was there we took Dad’s boat to go fishing. Mose, Susan, Verena and I fished even after it was dark. It was fun even if we didn’t have much luck. Susan had a fish on her hook and instead of taking it off, she flipped it into the boat. It flipped right into Mose’s face and we all laughed about that.

When I thought I had a big fish and pulled the line in, it was a bunch of weeds. It was their turn to all laugh and we had a lot of fun.

July 4 sister Elizabeth and her friend Timothy asked me to go to the parade in town. Sister Lovina also went with us. We got a lot of candy from the parade but we took it back and shared it with our brothers. It was fun to watch the parade.

There were firetrucks, horses, and little ponies. They look so cute.

There also were some race cars. My sister Susan has a new miniature pony that she is training for someone. The pony’s

name is Tiny Tim. He is still a little rowdy. Susan is line driving him. Susan is a good trainer because she has a lot of patience. Even if she comes home late from detasseling corn all day she wants to work with the pony. I don’t know what else to write now.

Thank you for all your prayers and encouragement.

God bless you.

For the recipe I will share my coffee soup recipe. I love it for breakfast but Mom doesn’t let us have it often since it has caffeine. She doesn’t think it is a healthy breakfast.

Most of us like it with crackers in it but Mom and Dad like it with toast.

We really like it with Pon Hoss when we have some in the winter.

COFFEE SOUP 1 cup water 2 teaspoons coffee 4 teaspoons white sugar 3 cups milk Crackers, bread, or toast Heat water in a 2 quart kettle Lift off and add coffee and sugar. Put back on the stove and add milk. Take off when hot. Crumble crackers, bread or toast in it or eat without either one. Some like it plain.

Turning lunch box drudgery into a pleasant picnic (AP) — Most people consider packing lunch a chore. But I’ve always thought there is something exciting about brown bagging it. It’s like getting to take a picnic to school, on an airplane or to work.

And when you think of lunch as an opportunity to pack a special meal, it can go from dull to delicious! I learned long ago that I would be happier if I brought the foods that I like to eat from home instead of hoping that the cafeteria or nearby food court would satisfy me.

A good friend of mine calls it the $10 upgrade.

Which is to say that for about $10, more or less, you can easily elevate lunch from coach to first class. After making many lunches, catering in my restaurant and learning a few tricks from my mother and other brown bag fanatics, I have some tips for making brown bag lunches stay fresh, safe, interesting and delicious.

— Freeze bread and make sandwiches with the frozen slices.

Wrap the assembled sandwich in a dry paper towel and slip it into a zipclose plastic bag or wrap with foil. By the time lunch arrives, the bread will be thawed and taste fresh and soft. Plus, the paper towel becomes a “placemat” for your sand-

wich.

— Freeze individual water or juice containers.

Once frozen, wrap them in a paper towel and either foil or plastic wrap and place in the lunch box.

Your frozen drink will double as a cold pack for keeping the lunch “refrigerated” and food safe. And (of course) it provides an icy cold drink.

— Create themes to inspire lunches. Use favorite books, movies or holidays for kid’s and use favorite cuisines or pastimes for adults.

— Think about your favorite picnic foods. They can become great lunch items. I especially like deviled eggs; peanut-butter stuffed celery; pimento cheese and pretzel rods; apple slices and goat cheese; fresh cherries, etc.

— Pack one indulgent treat, such as a homemade cookie or brownie, granola bar, a square of dark chocolate, dark chocolate covered almonds or whatever your favorite treat is.

— Pack one item that can be eaten as snack. My favorite snack is a batch of my homemade gorp (good ole raisins and peanuts).

Portion into snack-sized bags so they are ready to pack at any time. Or up the ante and mix a couple tablespoons of gorp into a couple of tablespoons of peanut butter, then use to

make a gorp-stuffed apple.

GORP I love making gorp because I can customize it and add all of my favorite fruits and nuts.

Substitute soy nuts for the peanuts if nut allergies are a concern.

Start to finish: 5 minutes Makes about 4 3/4 cups 1/2 cup toasted coconut flakes 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted cashews 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted almonds 1/2 cup roasted, salted peanuts or soy nuts 1/2 cup banana chips, lightly crushed 1/2 cup M&M’s 1/2 cup peanut M&M’s 1/4 cup toasted pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds) 1/4 cup dried cherries 1/4 cup raisins 1/4 cup diced dried apricots 1/4 cup finely diced crystallized ginger In a large bowl, combine all ingredients and gently mix well.

Bonnie Vadala picks blueberries at the Salt Box Farm, Wednesday, July 18, 2012 in Stratham, N.H.

Farmers take steps to stop PYO pilfering CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — As berry season reaches its peak in the Northeast, frustrated farmers are fighting back against customers who think “PYO” stands for pilfer-your-own instead of pick.

Faced with having their fields treated like all-youcan-eat buffets, farmers who run pick-your-own or “u-pick” operations are using a variety of measures to recoup their losses, from offering gentle (or not) reminders to charging higher prices or even admission fees to get on the fields.

Irma Goodrich, who owns Saltbox Farm in Stratham, got so fed up last year that she shut down her farm a month earlier than usual. That was after one of her employees spotted someone paying for a single bucket of blueberries before driving away with three more in his car. Goodrich doesn’t mind customers sampling the berries as they pick, but objects to

those who “treat it like lunch.”

“You don’t need that kind of stuff,” she said.

“They just don’t seem to have a great deal of respect.

They don’t seem to understand that we do this as part of our livelihood. It’s not something we do for you to come in and help yourself.”

Though Goodrich has noticed an improvement this year, she isn’t ready to call it a trend. At the New Hampshire Farm Bureau Federation, president Jeffrey Holmes was more optimistic, saying he has received fewer complaints from members about theft.

The tough economy likely plays a role, though perhaps not how you’d suspect.

Some farmers have speculated that people are starting to realize that farmers also are having a difficult time, he said.

“There’s always a few bad apples and they can really ruin it for landowners,” said Holmes, a dairy farmer. “We want to give a pat on the back to people who are courteous and play by the rules.”

Farmers expect that customers will sample a little something as they pick; it’s when the behavior becomes greedy or downright criminal that they feel abused.

It’s unclear how widespread the pilfering is. In “A Farmer’s Guide to a PickYour-Own Operation” it published this spring, the University of Tennessee Extension Center for Profitable Agriculture included a section on theft, saying while many farmers

have had little to no problem with it, others have struggled with shoplifters.

Some farmers reported customers piling produce in strollers, then covering it with coats and trying to roll past check-out registers.

Others have seen people hide produce in their pockets or stash containers in their cars if they can park close enough to the fields.

The report recommends designing the customer and traffic flow to limit opportunities for theft and training staff members to watch for it. And for the customers prone to over-sampling, “humor can be incorporated into signage addressing the topic to remind customers of appropriate etiquette in a non-offensive way,” the report said.

That’s one of the approaches Diane Souther took at Apple Hill Farm in Concord. For several years, she put out a “Clear Your Conscience” bucket to collect money from people who over-indulged, “because we know and you know that you ate some fruit and berries.”

Contributions to the bucket added up to about $200 a year, she said, mostly from parents of small children. She also has raised her prices a bit to account for theft, she said, and her loyal customers have been known to confront those who are taking advantage.

In one encounter, a woman lectured another after hearing her tell her children, “You eat all you can, because I’m not feeding you lunch today.”

Daughter needs to address issues in therapy

Today: 5 p.m.: Community Bulletin Board 7 p.m.: Midwest Crappie 9 p.m.: Mayor's Report

Dear Annie: My college-age daughter is very hard on herself.

"Sharyn" is a beautiful, intelligent and wonderful person at heart, but she cannot see it, even though everyone else does.

For 12 years, Sharyn has been in some form of therapy. She has damaged herself, starved herself and even run away. As a child, she was "different," and so she was badly bullied and had unreliable friends who briefly entered her life and left suddenly. After years of rejection and failure to achieve her goals, she began to isolate herself and give up. Much of her time was spent alone and lonely. It was unbearably painful to stand by and watch my child undeservingly suffer like this.

Sharyn seemed to make progress once she started college. She's maintained a 3.5 GPA, developed incredible artistic and writing abilities, found a summer job and will be living with her friends this coming year. However, she still believes no one really likes her. She says, "Everyone wants me gone," and "Everyone thinks I'm stupid, lazy, weird and mean." She has many great things going for her now, but she still allows her negativity to control her life. She has even said to me, "You hate me," and "I'm a bad daughter." I have overheard her yelling both hurtful and hateful comments to herself while she looks in the mirror.

I tell Sharyn repeatedly that I love her and am proud of her, but she accuses me of lying. I'm frustrated and heartbroken that she believes these things when she has come so far. What else can I possibly do to help my daughter understand that she is a wonderful person who deserves happiness? — Peace Bound Parent Dear Parent: You are doing the best you can with your bedrock reassurances. Sharyn's conception of herself is so distorted and negative that she assumes your opinion is too biased to count. Her accusations are a way to test your commitment. These issues are best addressed in therapy. Since she seems to be making progress, albeit slowly, please continue to provide calm, loving support. You also can get some therapy on your own and develop some coping strategies.

Dear Annie: I've been dating "Don" for eight months. When I met him, I didn't realize he had been seeing a woman for two years.

Apparently, they had an understanding that if someone else came along, it would be OK to break up because they live three hours apart. They still communicate on Facebook.

This girlfriend's family owns some property that is pretty much in Don's backyard. She stays at a cabin on the property a few times a year. It makes me really uncomfortable. But when I talk to Don about her, he says, "You have nothing to worry about." But there have been a few nights when he's called her name in his sleep. He also once told me that if he wanted her back, all he had to do was call her.

Don wants me to move in with him, but I can't. His relationship with the other woman eats at me all the time. What do I do? — On the Rebound Dear Rebound: You don't completely trust Don, partly because he has given you the impression that this woman is always available to him.

Trust is the bedrock of any relationship. If it doesn't exist with Don, there won't be a happy future for the two of you, and you should move on.

Dear Annie: A reader asked why there wasn't a Viagra-type pill for women, and your response implied that Viagra restores desire.

This simply is not the case.

Viagra and other medications like it allow the body to carry through on the desires of the heart and mind. In the absence of desire, these medications do nothing except possibly give a confidence boost. — My Two Cents Annie's Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime editors of the Ann Landers column.

YESTERDAY’S SOLUTION:

HINTS FROM HELOISE

Simple trick can help tame itchy labels Dear Heloise: The Maui (Hawaii) News gets my day started with “Hints From Heloise.” I want to share this idea. It seems I’m always putting on a piece of clothing with the scratchy label tag at the neck — ouch! My solution is good old reliable invisible tape. I tape the label directly to the garment. I have done this many times. Just remember to remove before laundering or any other type of cleaning.

Many of the tags have valuable information that I want to keep.

Also, consignment shops don’t accept usable clothing items with the tags removed. — Caren N. in Maui, Hawaii Aloha to you, Caren, and to all

Hints from Heloise Columnist of my friends in Hawaii! Love your hint. However, try leaving the tape on through laundering, and you might be surprised how long it stays on. — Mahalo, Heloise DONATION DETAILS Dear Heloise: I recently remodeled my kitchen and donated my old cabinets, counter, kitchen sink, faucet, dishwasher

and range hood to Habitat for Humanity’s resale store. The appliances need to work. — Donna in Rowlett, Texas This is a wonderful organization! You can contact a Habitat ReStore in your area for details on donating. They collect reusable and leftover building materials, furniture and appliances, which they then sell to the public, with the proceeds going toward building the Habitat houses. For more information, go to www.habitat.org or call 800-HABITAT. — Heloise DUSTY DISASTER Dear Readers: A friend was putting in tile flooring when she learned a valuable lesson.

Although she had covered the fur-

niture and shut off the air conditioning, she forgot to cover the vents! This created a mess of dust once the air was turned back on!

Many home-remodeling jobs can create a lot of dust.

So if you are doing one, cover furniture and tape around air vents, cabinets and closets, if needed. Plastic sheets and painter’s tape are invaluable tools for keeping dust to a minimum without damaging any paint or finishes.

To clean after a job like this, use the vacuum’s brush attachment to go over the furniture first, then a microfiber cloth. Trying to wipe debris off finished furniture can dull the finish. — Heloise

HOROSCOPE

BY FRANCES DRAKE For Friday, July 20, 2012 ARIES (March 21 to April 19) What a relief! TGIF! This is a lovely, romantic, social day. Enjoy good times with everyone, plus semi-serious discussions with partners and close friends.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’ll enjoy doing something to beautify your home today. (You might buy some lovely treasures.) Practical family discussions also will be helpful.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is an excellent day for writers, teachers, actors, salespeople, editors and anyone who drives for a living.

Your words are sweet, yet your thinking is down to earth and sensible.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) This is a good day for business and commerce. It’s also a good day to earn money. You’re in a receptive, creative frame of mind. You’re also practical and sensible. Great combo!

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) This is your day! The Moon is in your sign, making a lovely aspect to Venus and Saturn. Enjoy good times with friends. Work that requires attention to detail will flow easily. (We like!)

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) What a great day for research. Make behind-the-scenes plans that ultimately will promote your earnings or impress a boss. You can do this!

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Group discussions might result in fun travel for the future or positive implications in publishing, medicine, higher education and the law. Listen to the advice of someone older or more experienced.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Certain details about your private life will be made public today, but you won’t mind. It looks like you come out smelling like a rose. In fact, someone might do you a favor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You find it easy to compromise with others today, which is what the stars urge you to do. Romance, social occasions, sports and playful times with children will delight. (Make travel plans.)

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A lovely day at work! Even your health feels vigorous today. Enjoy interaction with co-workers. Expect praise and possibly a raise.

YOU BORN TODAY You’re a curious combination of a wild adventurer and practical realist. You vacillate between stagnant complacency and excessive thrills. You need to be active, but your practical mind always guides you.

You’re very reliable when working with others, and also very patient. A major change will take place in the coming year, perhaps as significant as something that occurred around 2003.

TODAY IN HISTORY (AP) — Today is Thursday, July 19, the 201st day of 2012.

There are 165 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On July 19, 1812, during the War of 1812, the First Battle of Sackets Harbor in Lake Ontario resulted in an American victory as U.S. naval forces repelled a British attack.

On this date: • In 1553, King Henry VIII’s daughter Mary was proclaimed

Queen of England after pretender Lady Jane Grey was deposed.

• In 1848, a pioneer women’s rights convention convened in Seneca Falls, N.Y. • In 1870, the FrancoPrussian war began.

• In 1943, allied air forces raided Rome during World War II. • In 1952, the Summer Olympics opened in Helsinki, Finland.

• In 1961, TWA became the

first airline to begin showing regularly scheduled in-flight movies as it presented “By Love Possessed” to first-class passengers.

Today’s Birthdays: Former Sen. George McGovern, D-S.D., is 90. Actress Helen Gallagher is 86. Country singer Sue Thompson is 86. Country singer George Hamilton IV is 75.

Singer Vikki Carr is 72. Country singer-musician Commander Cody is 68. Actor George Dzundza is 67.

Indiana officials give cautions of drought Expected to last into October INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana officials urged residents Wednesday to prepare for a long battle with a devastating drought that could last into October.

Indiana Department of Homeland Security Executive Director Joe Wainscott said people need to conserve as much water as they can in the face of the drought.

“This may be a marathon instead of a sprint,” Wainscott said Wednesday at a news conference with state public safety, environmental and agricultural officials.

Al Shipe, a hydrologist with the National Weather Service, said this year’s drought could easily claim the title of worst in recorded history, topping 1988.

Since the drought started in Indiana’s “wet season” of June and July, the coming “dry season” — stretching

from August to October — will do nothing to help, he said.

The consequences of an extended drought are fairly obvious, Shipe said: “You may not have water to drink, you may not have water to fight fires with.”

Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman added 14 counties to the state’s disaster area Wednesday.

Those counties and the 11 bordering them can now apply for assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Farmers have eight months from the disaster declaration to apply for federal loans.

Joe Kelsay, director of the Indiana Department of Agriculture, said that farmers can apply for federal loans with rates of 2.25 percent and can use the money to cover crop losses and daily expenses.

Eighty of Indiana’s 92

counties qualify for federal aid, and northeast Indiana and southwest Indiana continue to be the hardest hit.

State efforts to conserve water are voluntary for now, but that could change if a statewide “water shortage emergency” is declared.

The Indiana Department of Natural Resources sent a notice Wednesday to “significant water withdrawal facilities,” those using at least 100,000 gallons daily, asking them to cut back by 10 percent to 15 percent.

State Fire Marshal Jim Greeson asked people to be more careful at home because firefighting supplies — ranging from water to fire-suppressant foam — are being overtaxed. He also asked smokers to stop tossing cigarette butts out of their cars because of the increased likelihood it’ll cause field fires.

Indiana has a statewide

Soybeans set all-time high Heat continues to damage crops (AP) — The price of soybeans hit an all-time high Wednesday as a devastating heat wave continued to pound crops in fields.

Soybeans for August delivery rose 44.5 cents, or 2.7 percent, to finish at $16.835 per bushel.

Wheat prices ended at the highest level since the spring of 2008 and corn prices are pushing toward their all-time high set in June 2011.

Hot, dry weather has blanketed much of the Midwest for weeks, causing corn and soybean crops to deteriorate.

Forecasts aren’t predicting any significant rainfall at least through the end of the month.

Traders are buying up contracts for both crops on expectations that supplies

will remain critically tight after the harvests.

Telvent DTN analyst Darin Newsom said markets have rallied on supply forecasts for corn and soybeans before, but “this is probably a tighter supply and demand situation than we’ve ever seen in the past.”

Both crops were in short supply heading into this year’s planting season.

Farmers planted one of the biggest corn crops in decades but a forecast predicting a bountiful harvest evaporated when the heat took hold last month.

The nation is in the midst of one of the widest droughts in decades. More than half of the continental United States is in some stage of drought and most of the rest is enduring

abnormally dry conditions.

Most analysts believe the much of the damage done to the corn crop is beyond repair even if rain does fall. Newsom said he isn’t sure an early August rainfall will be able to help farmers salvage the entire crop of soybeans.

Soybeans for November delivery, which was the most active contract, gained 29.5 cents to finish at $16.20 per bushel.

December corn rose 13 cents to $7.8425 per bushel. The all-time high for corn was $7.87 per bushel in June 2011.

Wheat prices hit the highest level since the spring of 2008 on questions about global supplies after adverse weather hit crops in Russia and the Black Sea region. September

wheat rose 18.25 cents to finish at $9.0325 per bushel.

Other commodities were mixed after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke told Congress that the Fed is prepared to take additional action to stimulate the economy if unemployment stays high, but didn’t offer any more clues about what those steps might be and whether they would occur soon.

Gold dropped $18.70 to end at $1570.80 an ounce, its third straight loss.

September silver fell 22.1 cents to finish at $27.095 per ounce, September copper rose 1.85 cents to $3.474 per pound, October platinum decreased $16.50 to $1,404.20 per ounce and September palladium dropped $5.80 to $577.50 per ounce.

Big starts key at British Open It’s rare to seeTiger Woods hit iron off the tee on a par 5, except in links golf, and especially at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

The key to this British Open is to get off to a good start — not just onThursday, but on every hole.

“At most PGA Tour events, the shorter the shot, the more important it is,” Geoff Ogilvy said.“This one, the longer the shot the more important it is.”

Defending champ’s hopes vanish BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France (AP) — Cadel Evans’ vision of repeating as Tour de France champion vanished under the sun-baked punishment of the Pyrenees mountains on Wednesday, as Bradley Wiggins took another step toward taking the yellow jersey home.

French fan favorite Thomas Voeckler took a starring role into big climbs along the Spanish border, winning Stage 16 in a breakaway as Wiggins kept his big rivals a bay — or dusted them.

“It’s pretty much the Tour de France over for me,” Evans said.

The 35-year-old Australian fell from fourth to seventh overall, and trails Wiggins by 8 minutes, 6 seconds, after struggling on the last two of four climbs in the stage. He cited stomach problems.

“When you have it two hours before the race there’s not a lot you can do,” Evans said. “I did not think it would affect me in the race, but obviously that’s not my normal level.

As if the four ascents weren’t hard enough, cycling’s big event was also trying to get over the reemergence of another longtime

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Ryan Roberts forces out Cincinnati Reds’ Todd Frazier (21) at third base in the second inning Wednesday in Cincinnati. Frazier was trying to advance on a bunt

by Mat Latos.

Two bad pitches Kubel makes Latos pay for mistakes in Reds loss CINCINNATI (AP) — Mat Latos kept his streak going for more than three months. Two bad pitches reminded him how it feels to lose.

Jason Kubel returned from a sore hamstring and homered in his first two at-bats against Latos on Wednesday night, powering the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 71 victory that dropped the Cincinnati Reds back into a firstplace tie in the NL Central.

Kubel hit a two-run shot in the first inning and a solo homer in the fourth off Latos (7-3), who lost for the first time since April 18.

Latos also forced in a run with a bases-loaded walk in his secondshortest start of the season.

“If you throw pitches right down the heart of the plate to major-league hitters, they’re going

to hit the ball hard,” Latos said.

Kennedy made the early lead hold, giving up eight hits and a run in eight innings. He struck out seven and didn’t walk a batter.

The Reds have lost two of three since learning that first baseman Joey Votto needed surgery on his left knee. He’s expected to be sidelined for three to four weeks.

Votto had torn cartilage repaired on Tuesday. He was in the Reds’ clubhouse on Wednesday, getting treatment and defending the decision not to have an MRI on the knee for more than two weeks.

Cincinnati’s offense has struggled without him, knocking the Reds into a first-place tie with Pittsburgh. The Pirates beat Rockies 9-6 earlier Wednesday.

Their best chance was another solid start from Latos, who hadn’t lost in his last 15 games. The right-hander was 7-0 with 3.43 ERA during that span, which included three blown saves behind him.

This time, Latos didn’t have it.

Aaron Hill singled in the first inning, extending his hitting streak to nine games. Kubel followed with a homer to center off a down-the-middle fastball, extending Great American Ball Park’s streak to 71 consecutive games with a homer since last July 29.

It’s the longest such streak since Coors Field had 80 games with a homer in 2002-03.

Kubel led off the fourth with his 17th homer on a down-themiddle slider, his first multihomer game of the season.

Troy Post 43 coach Frosty Brown was not happy with what he saw.

Starter Ben Langdon couldn’t have felt good about it either.

That’s because Langdon saw a brilliant four-hit effort squandered by numerous — and increasingly improbably — errors in the field, the last of which allowed three runs to cross the plate in the top of the seventh inning, the decisive runs in a 4-1 loss to the Cleveland Diamondboys Wednesday to end Troy’s run in the Connie Mack State Tournament in Youngstown.

YOUNGSTOWN “This is probably one of the most disappointing ballgames I’ve seen in 41 years of coaching, to see a great pitching effort thrown away,” Brown said. “We outhit them, we played very well — until the last inning.”

And with the score tied at 1-1 in that last inning, anything that could go wrong did.

The inning began on a routine ground ball to second — which ended up being thrown into the dugout. After a failed bunt attempt, Post 43 got a popup in the infield … only to see two fielders collide and allow the ball to fall, putting runners on the corners.

A slow grounder up the middle looked like it would get Troy out of the inning with a double play as shortstop Dylan Cascaden made a play on the ball and went for the bag. But — in the oddest occurrence in the game — the umpire was in the way, and Cascaden sprained his ankle trying to navigate around the obstacle. Instead of Troy

Duval back after lost decade

Par 3 Yards 205 The only course in the British Open rotation that opens with a par 3. The difficulty is gauging the wind because the tee box is enclosed by trees and the green is exposed.

Seven bunkers form a horseshoe of protection around a relatively flat putting surface.

BY TIM DAHLBERG AP Sports Columnist LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England — The last time he played this course on the northwest coast of England, David Duval was cheered by thousands as he made a celebratory walk up the 18th hole to claim his first major championship. The British Open was his, the rivalry with Tiger Woods was back on, and even the wraparound glasses couldn’t hide his delight in having finally won a big one.

Further proof that golf can be a fickle and cruel game came Wednesday, when Duval played his way around the links at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, a solitary figure accompanied only by his stepson and caddie. Fans filling the bleachers on the fourth green were so unimpressed most of them turned their backs to watch Lee Westwood play up the third fairway rather than watch Duval hit shots into the green.

Hard to blame them. It’s never pretty watching someone who once was a champion struggle with what he is now. And what Duval is now is a 40-year-old who hasn’t won a thing since his Open victory in 2001. He struggles mightily just to make the cut at most tournaments, and struggles just as much to explain why.

“I love playing the game.

I’m really good at it,” Duval said. “But there’s times when I feel like — it’s like enough is enough. And I don’t mean golfwise, but I mean talking about it. It’s like kicking a dead horse. We know what’s happened.”

What’s happened is Duval has mostly disappeared from competitive golf. Once the No. 1 player in the world, he has made just two cuts this year in 13 tournaments, earning a grand total of $26,696. His first trip to Lytham since winning the Open by three shots in 2001 doesn’t figure to last more than a few days unless he somehow finds the magic that’s eluded him for most of the last decade.

Duval blames injuries, and he listed enough of them Wednesday to fill a medical textbook. He’s got bone bruises on his knees, tendonitis in his shoulders, elbows and wrist. At one point he had vertigo, and he’s long had back problems.

He doesn’t much like talking about this; at times, he doesn’t seem to like talking about anything. Brought into the media tent for the obligatory last player to win at Lytham interview, Duval bristled at a few questions and lobbed back a few of his own.

But he ended up answering them all, some with the kind of detail that few of the robotic players who have a chance at winning the Open this week would ever dare.

He talked about not only his golf but his life, and even his hope of playing the senior tour in another 10 years.

Duval doesn’t enjoy being reminded of it, doesn’t want to believe his best golf is past.

The years are going by, though, and the player once described as being as thin as a 1-iron is now a bit on the chunky side, with aches and pains that never seem to disappear. On the days Duval does seem to strike he ball well, his putter fails him, as it did last week at the John Deere where he missed another cut.

“I think on two occasions I took extended time off, but in hindsight the big mistake I made in my career was not stopping sometime in early 2002 and probably not playing again until ‘04,” Duval said. “I should have taken at least a year, maybe more, off.

Just made sure everything kind of got healed, protected my confidence, protected my golf game and just given away that year and a half, not give away eight years like I did.”

That’s all ancient history now, a fact Duval readily acknowledges.

But he can hope his game isn’t ancient history, too.

Par 4 Yards ards 478 The tee shot must avoid two bunkers down the left side, though not to the point that the shot drifts too far right toward trees and out-of-bounds along the entire right side.

The approach is to a slightly raised green.

Par 4 ards 492 Yards

Par 3 Yards 165

This hole features a sharp dogleg left, with deep rough and a bunker at the elbow of the dogleg. Four cross bunkers stretch across the fairway well short of the green, and five bunkers guard the green. The second shot has to carry a sharp left-to-right slope in front of the putting surface.

Par 4 Yards 392

Third round July 21, 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., ESPN Fourth round July 22, 6 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., ESPN

The longest of the par 3s requires a straight shot with a middle iron, depending on the wind, to avoid bunkers on either side of the entry way to the green. What makes this hole difficult is a large area of dead ground short of the green that makes the hole play longer than it seems.

Par 4 Yards 416 This hole has an out-of-bounds to the right. It's an elevated tee, and most players will use an iron to avoid the deep bunker on the left. That leaves a short iron to an elevated green set beyond a row of three bunkers, though there is 40 yards of ground between the bunkers and the green.

The landing area is tighter than usual between a range of bunkers on the left and bushes to the right. The best tee shot is to the right, which opens up a greenwell-bunkered on both sides. This is where Bobby Jones made a remarkable recovery from the left rough when he won in 1926.

And it is where Darren Clarke made double bogey from the bunkers to end his challenge in 2001.

The last par 3 on the course, and perhaps the most difficult because there is out-of-bounds close the right edge of the green, which is raised and slightly angled. There were only 28 birdies on this hole in 2001, and 35 birdies in 1996. Last time, Pierre Fulke took an 8 in the final round.

The shortest hole demands the greatest degree of accuracy. The only gap in the circle of bunkers that surround the green are in the back, and that leads down a slop to an out-of-bounds fence. The green slopes from back left to front right.

Par is difficult for anyone missing the green.

Par 4 Yards ards 355 Thus begins a tough closing stretch of six par 4s. This is a gentle start, and perhaps the best chance at birdie, though it has some bite. There are 15 bunker from tee to green. Some big hitters might try to reach the green depending on the conditions.

Par 4 Y Yards 387

A new tee makes this hole 35 yards longer than in 2001, though it still can be reached in two in reasonable conditions. The fairway bends slightly to the right between a nest of bunkers. The green is offset in a hollow in the dunes, with a particularly dangerous bunker at the front left.

Par 3 Yards 219

Par 4 Yards ards 453

Par 3 Y Yards 198

Par 5 Yards 592

Generally played into the wind, this hole turns back toward the clubhouse with a sharp bend to left. It requires a tee shot down the right side to give a clear view of the green. Anything too far left leaves virtually a blind shot to the green. Seven bunkers are littered along the driving zone, with five more protecting the green.

A short par, though it can be troublesome.

The tee shot is blind.

The left side of the fairway allows for the best angle. Or players can follow the route of Seve Ballesteros in 1979, who drove into an overflow parking lot and still managed a birdie on his way to his first Open title.

The Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club

From the far end of the course starts the journey back to the clubhouse. This will be an iron off the tee down the left side to set up a classic pitch-and-run into a severely uphill green with bunkers to the left and right. Any approach too long will leave a tricky recovery.

Par 5 Yards 598

Par 4 Yards ards 444

A new tee had added 56 yards, making it difficult to carry two pot bunkers at the elbow of this slight dogleg to the left.

The rough can be thick if the shot goes left of those bunkers.

Jim Furyk took a 10 on this hole in 2001. The slightly elevated green is exposed to the prevailing wind.

The tee shot should avoid bunkers and sand hills on the right to provide the best angle to the green.

Out-of-bounds to the right comes into play on the approach, and contours in the fairway can move the ball in that direction.

David Duval made par from the right rough, a key hole in his 2001 win.

SOURCE: British Open

Par 4 Yards 413 Two lines of bunkers cut diagonally across the fairway up to 300 yards from the tee. The ideal tee shot moves slightly to the right half of the fairway beyond the final bunker, allowing for a good view of the green that is positioned between seven bunkers.

Everyone playing longball British Open at Lytham requires a good start LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — It’s rare to see Tiger Woods hit iron off the tee on a par 5, except in links golf, and especially at Royal Lytham & St. Annes.

With a stiff breeze in his face on the 598-yard 11th hole, he most likely could not reach the green in two. The idea was to be able to get there in three shots, which meant staying out of trouble off the tee.

His low bullet of a shot stopped 10 paces short of feeding into a pot bunker. If the shot had gone much longer, Woods might have had to blast out sideways, and still had some 300 yards left to the green.

The key to this British Open is to get off to a good start — not just on Thursday, but on every hole.

“At most PGA Tour events, the shorter the shot, the more important it is,” Geoff Ogilvy said. “This one, the longer the shot the more important it is.”

The tired adage of “drive for show, putt for dough” doesn’t necessarily apply at Lytham.

“The easy part is around the greens,” Ben Curtis said. “The hard part is off the tee.”

Royal Lytham is the shortest course on the Open rotation over the last decade, and it’s on the smallest piece of property, tucked a mile or so away from the Irish Sea and surrounded by homes and a railway. The challenge comes from 206 bunkers, and thick grass from a wet spring that should keep the spotters busy looking for balls.

The powerful hitters can hit over the bunkers, as long as they avoid the next set of traps. But it’s not so simple to think that players can hit well short of the bunkers for a longer shot into the green, because they might not be able to reach the green.

Tiger Woods plays a shot during a practice round at Royal Lytham & St Annes golf club ahead of the British Open at Lytham St. Annes, England, Wednesday.

“It’s a tee-shot golf course,” Graeme McDowell said, who grew up on Royal Portrush and knows a thing or two about links golf. “The second shots are not particularly taxing. There’s not a lot of trouble around the greens. There are bunkers, but not a lot of heavy rough. You’ve got to position yourself off the tee to give yourself a chance. You’ve got to keep it out of the bunkers. It’s a good test. I don’t think you can hide on this golf course.”

The defense of any links course is pot bunkers and the wind. Woods famously won his first claret jug at St. Andrews in 2000 by going the entire week without hitting into a bunker. But there’s something different about Royal Lytham that can make it look particularly daunting. Accuracy is important. So is the right distance.

“You get very cautious off the tee,” Ogilvy said. “It’s not like St. Andrews, where you can go away from the bunkers, hit the middle of the green and two-putt from 60 feet all day. Here, you’ve got to take

them on. There’s a distance requirement, as well as a line requirement, so it’s a two-dimensional drive. And if it were yellow, it would be threedimensional.”

By yellow, Ogilvy was referring to the color of the grass.

This is a green Open, and it’s not about the environment. Links golf is notoriously fast and tough in dry conditions that bake the grass, such as St. Andrews in 2000 and Royal Liverpool in 2006, both won by Woods. It was at Liverpool where Woods only hit one driver the entire week — on the 16th hole of the first round, and it went into the 17th fairway — on his way to a two-shot win.

Woods most likely won’t leave that Tiger head cover on his driver all week at Lytham. The par 5s at Liverpool were much shorter, and the turf was so brittle that Woods was hitting 3-iron some 300 yards.

He didn’t need a driver there.

“Got to hit probably a few more 3-woods and drivers here than I did then,” he said. “The bunkers are staggered differently here. You

can’t just either lay it up or bomb it over the top. There has to be some shape to shots. I think that’s one of the reasons why you’ve seen the list of champions here have all been just wonderful ball strikers, because you have to be able to shape the golf ball both ways.”

The list of Open champions at Royal Lytham is impressive — David Duval and Tom Lehman, both formerly No. 1 in the world, won the last two times. The rest of the winners showcased in the brick clubhouse are in the World Golf Hall of Fame.

Then again, trying to figure out the next winner isn’t that simple.

Next to the 206 bunkers, the number getting the most attention at this major is 15 — the number of players who have won the last 15 majors. An even greater sign of parity is that the last nine major champions had never won a major before.

The streak could go to 16 if the betting favorite — Woods — were to win his fourth claret jug and get back on track in his pursuit of Jack Nicklaus’ record 18 majors. Or the 16th different major champion could be No. 1 or No. 3 in the world ranking. Those guys would be Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, both from England playing on home soil, both trying to capture their first major title.

Along with the hazards are the elements, which tend to play a big role in links golf. This week, the forecast has been a mystery.

Carl Pettersson wasn’t planning to come to the course on Wednesday because the forecast was for an 80 percent chance of heavy rain. This was supposed to be the worst of the bad weather. He showed up wearing sunglasses.

The Royal & Ancient puts out an update three times a day on the weather, and the only thing that can be trusted is the small print at the bottom: “This forecast may be amended at any time.”

Tour ■ CONTINUED FROM 13 challenge: The dopingmarred image that has hung over the sport.

Late Tuesday, Frank Schleck of the RadioShack team was sent packing after cycling’s governing body UCI said an anti-doping lab’s test on his urine turned up a banned diuretic.

The 32-year-old Luxembourg rider placed third at last year’s Tour.

Two big final shakedowns in the race await in Thursday’s stage in the Pyrenees, featuring an uphill finish, and Saturday’s time trial, though other pratfalls and

pitfalls could await.

But Wednesday’s stage went a long way toward shaping up the likeliest Tour podium when the race ends Sunday in Paris: Wiggins, Sky teammate Christopher Froome, and Vincenzo Nibali of Italy.

They all gained key breathing space by beating their 10 closest chasers by about 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

“There was a pretty big selection made,” said Tejay Van Garderen, an American who at sixth eclipsed Evans as topranked BMC rider. “It was obvious that Nibali, ‘Wiggo’ and Froome were a

notch above my group …

Sky is looking incredible, Nibali is making the race at least exciting.”

Voeckler dominated the 123-mile course from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon, the Frenchman leading a breakaway for his second stage victory of the Tour.

He also won Stage 10 and has four in total.

“Every one of the mountain passes was a race for me,” said Voeckler, who captured the polka dot jersey for the best climber from Fredrik Kessiakoff of Sweden. “Today I did what many young riders dream of doing — leading every-

one over all four summits.”

“I knew every kilometer of this course today, and it served me well.”

Chris Anker Sorensen of Denmark was second, 1:40 back. Wiggins, Froome and Nibali finished together, 7:09 back of Voeckler.

Overall, Wiggins leads Froome by 2:05 and Nibali by 2:23. Jurgen Van Den Broeck of Belgium moved up to fourth, 5:46 back — though he lost nearly a minute to Wiggins. Evans was nearly 4 more minutes back.

A bunch of 38 riders broke away early, but the climbs took their toll and

the group divided. Cyclists first scaled the Aubisque and Tourmalet passes — two of the toughest climbs in cycling — followed by the category-1 Aspin and Peyresourde passes. The last peak was nearly 10 miles from the finish, before a long descent.

Voeckler grimaced, his jersey unzipped and his body rocking from side to side in rhythm with his pedal strokes as he climbed the ascents.

“I’m the first person to admit that I’m not beautiful on the bike,” the Europcar rider said. “I’m a frowner … That’s my way

of doing it — when I’m in pain, that’s the way look.”

On the ascent to the Aspin pass, the day’s third big climb, Evans started to lag. The Australian couldn’t keep pace with BMC teammate Amael Moinard of Belgium.

Evans was about 40 seconds back of his teammates, but recovered and joined the pack by the foot of the day’s last climb after receiving an escort. But Evans struggled on the last climb, continuing to lose time afterward.

BMC pulled out the stops to help its leader, but it wasn’t enough.

Olympic culture shock

Post 43

British basketball getting attention with U.S. in town MANCHESTER, England (AP) — The question would be almost unimaginable in the United States.

“Who’s No. 6?” a reporter asked a U.S. official.

Yes, even LeBron James isn’t recognized everywhere in Britain, where soccer is king and basketball is hardly an afterthought.

That will change at least briefly Thursday, with James and the U.S. Olympic team bringing it some rare attention with a game against Britain.

It’s only an exhibition, so the result doesn’t matter.

But the event does, to those who want to see basketball gain a place in Britain’s sports culture.

“This is a massive opportunity for British basketball to get some oxygen, to breathe life into the sport in this country,” said Chris Mitchell, who calls Britain’s games for BBC Radio.

“Team USA being here is arguably the biggest-ever game this country has hosted. It’s arguably bigger than any game they’ll play at the Olympics, because they’ll only face USA if they get through their group and perhaps meet them in the quarterfinals. So this, this week, it’s almost the climax to the history of British basketball. It’s huge.”

Manchester Arena is expected to be full, many fans familiar with Kobe Bryant but with no clue how to pronounce the name of U.S. coach Mike Krzyzewski.

It probably won’t be very competitive, but it will give the Americans the opportunity to play in front of the opponent’s fans for the first time during their preparations for the London Olympics.

“They will represent their country, they will cheer on their team and hopefully we can just play well in front of them,” James said.

The Americans met the media Wednesday before practicing at the arena, getting occasional questions about the Xs and Os of basketball and the people who play it: James asked about injured teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh; Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler about departed one Jeremy Lin. And this being soccer country, of course there was that. Bryant is the most popular NBA player outside the U.S., but far from the most famous athlete in Los Angeles for the British.

So what about David Beckham not making the host’s Olympic soccer roster,

■ CONTINUED FROM 13 getting its turn at the plate with no damage done, the bases were loaded.

The Diamondboys then put on a squeeze play — but the hitter missed the signal, and the runner breaking from third was caught in a rundown. But during the rundown, the ball was thrown over the third baseman’s head and into left field, and all three runs scored.

“Ben did a great job.

We just didn’t support him,” Brown said.

On the other hand, Post 43 piled up eight hits in the game — but stranded 11 runners, including

leaving the bases loaded in the second inning.

Colt Nealeigh and Dereck Dunham both doubled in the game for Troy, and an RBI single by Nealeigh in the fifth provided Post 43’s only run.

“We’re not doing things when they count,” Brown said. “We’ve got some things to straighten up.

We’re 34-20 now and have played 54 ballgames.

Sometimes at this point in the season, your concentration’s probably not where it should be.”

Troy has a couple of non-league tuneups this week before leaving for the State Legion Tournament on Sunday.

Kobe?

“I would love to have seen him have some type role on the team,” said Bryant, a soccer fan who lived outside the U.S. as a child. “Just his leadership and his intelligence could have helped the team out.”

Basketball has such little presence in Britain that FIBA, the sport’s governing body, didn’t immediately award the hosts the traditional automatic bid into the Olympic tournament. It wanted to be certain that there would be a legacy beyond the London Games, that support for the home team’s program would spark interest in watching, playing and following the sport.

FIBA was eventually convinced, helped by the British performing respectably last year at the European Championship.

NBA All-Star Luol Deng of the Chicago Bulls is the team’s leader and Joel Freeland has signed with the Portland Trail Blazers.

(Charlotte’s Ben Gordon, born in England before moving to New York, was expected to be on the roster but passed on playing).

That’s probably not enough to challenge the U.S., which will be looking

for a strong performance after having a tough time with Brazil in an 80-69 victory Monday night in Washington.

“I think this will be tougher than most people expect because it’s their country. They’re playing here,” Krzyzewski said.

“Luol, I know Luol, I coached him. They’ll play real hard. They can shoot the ball and they play a little bit unconventional in that actually their two bigs I think are their best shooters, and so they’ll spread you out. So it’ll be a different type of game for us to defend, different type of team.”

The Americans don’t garner the same attention here as they did four years ago in China, where basketball is massively popular. But their visit gives a sorely needed boost to the Brits who want to see the sport matter at home. Mitchell has been covering basketball for more than a decade, calling it a “niche” sport which sometimes draws only a few hundred fans and no press to its domestic league games.

“Basketball is an unknown quantity in this country,” he said. “People don’t understand it. They

don’t know the rules. They don’t read about it in the newspapers because it’s not in the newspapers, it’s not on the news. It’s not part of our social fabric if you’d like, like it is in the States.”

The Americans are glad to do their part. They’ll see a more traditional basketball atmosphere in a few days, when they face Argentina and Spain in Barcelona.

For now, they’re trying to help create one.

“We’re happy to be in England, in Great Britain, and you start even getting even more of a flavor for the Olympics,” Krzyzewski said.

• US Women Beat Britain MANCHESTER, England — With the first team struggling, Geno Auriemma went to his reserves to turn the game around.

Maya Moore and Lindsay Whalen sparked a 21-0 run to help the U.S. women’s basketball team beat Britain 88-63 on Wednesday night in an exhibition game. Moore scored 18 points and Whalen added 13.

The Americans trailed by 11 points in the first 7 minutes before the second unit took over.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL’s on-field officials say the league is paying lip service to player safety by contacting replacement officials.

They also believe the NFL planned to lock them out rather than negotiate a new contract. Members of the NFL Referees Association were locked out June 3 after talks broke down.

NFLRA President Scott Green and past president Ed Hochuli, both current referees, said Wednesday the NFL is jeopardizing the safety of the players, as well as the integrity of the game, by considering using officials they feel are unqualified. None of those officials will come from the top college division because they all are barred from accepting NFL jobs by the colleges, Green said.

“To take seven officials who have not worked Division I (college) games or not worked the last several years,” he said, “and to put them on the field has got to be pretty unsettling not only to the players and coaches, but to the fans.

“The players have plenty of things to worry about on the field, they don’t need to be worrying about the officials.”

Green said players know the current officials are consistent in their calls, but won’t have any idea “what will be called or seen and what won’t be, and that will be a product of how the game is being affected.”

Added Hochuli: “There is no game if the competitive nature of the game is not being controlled” by

officials.

The NFL disagreed, saying in a statement: “Our goal is to maintain the highest quality of officiating for our teams, players, and fans, including proper enforcement of the playing rules and efficient management of our games.

“We are confident that these game officials will enforce rules relating to player safety. Contrary to NFLRA leadership, we do not believe that players will ‘play dirty’ or intentionally break the rules.”

Dr. Thom Mayer, the NFL Players Association’s medical director, met Tuesday with the officials to discuss their situation and its potential impact on the players’ safety.

“I don’t know how to look at the type of officials they are talking about using and not raise the issue of if there will be health and safety issues,” Mayer told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “We will be monitoring that closely during the preseason.”

• Griffin III Signs With Redskins ASHBURN, Va. — Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins ended their contract impasse Wednesday when the rookie quarterback signed a four-year, fully guaranteed deal worth $21.1 million. It also includes a club option for a fifth year.

Griffin’s agent, Ben Dogra, told The Associated Press that the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback agreed to terms and will be in Redskins rookie camp on Wednesday.
