Ruth Brooks chose Laura Curry of Louisville, Ky., for the July prayer calendar birthday card. She is in missions personnel. Wolf will choose the August card. Barringer said the Fetival of Sharing will be Oct. 1, and those who are making kits are asked to complete them by the middle of September. The Foothills District Fall Annual Day will be Sept. 24 at Christ United Methodist Church, Marietta. Mary Jo Buckley reported on the Spiritual Growth Spring Retreat. Weber’s report was from “Response,” “Stopping Elder Abuse.” According to the National Center on Elder Abuse, up to two million Americans aged 65 or older are subjected to some kind of abuse. Ways to stop abuse to family members and others are: Inform yourself, learing the signs of elder abuse and being more aware and responsive; looking for changes in weight, personality, attitude, energy level and overall health that are abrupt and without explanation; and watching caregivers’ behaviro.

Rosalie Story conducted the meeting. Family Activities Director Adell White reported that all contest entries will be judged at the August meeting. Roy Grueser, legislative chairman, presented a report on programs the government will be taking a second look at, including “Milk spills will not be treated as oil spills.” Membership awards were presented to Sarah Caldwell for 75 years and Jerry Snowden, 60 years. The next Pomona Grange meeting will be held at the Star Grange hall, and all county contest winners will be selected for the state Grange session. Hemlock Grange will vist Star Grange in August. Members hear communications from the Robson family and Ohio State Grange. Members were reminded to think about the fair booth. Romine used “July is Hot Dog Month” for her program. americans consume an average of 60 hot dogs a year, mostly between Memorial Day and Labor Day. In 1867, Charles Feltman, a German butcher, opened up the first Coney Island hot dog stand in Brooklyn, N.Y. He sold 3,684 sausages in a roll during his first year of business. At his death in 1910, he left a business worth over $1 million which all started with selling hot dogs. In 1916, an employee of Charles Feltman, Nathan Handwerker, started Nathan’s Famous, Inc., which now calls itself the World’s Greatest Hot Dog. Some historians suggest Nathan borrowed $320 from entertainers Eddie Cantor and Jimmy Durante to start the business. To assist in serving customers, Nathan hired a red-headed teenager, Clara Bowtiinelli, who later was discovered working there and became the famous actress Clara Bow, the “It Girl” of 1920’s silent films. The annual Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest at Coney Island has been held at the original Coney Island hot dog stand every Independence Day since 1916. In 1942, corn dogs were introduced at the Texas State Fair by Neil Fletcher.

That TV would be steeled with a higher sense of purpose than had characterized it the previous half-century. Baloney. Soon enough, the flow of TV programming, including scripted drama and comedy with all their distractions and excesses, defiantly resumed with the rest of life's daily routine. And yet, the events of 9/11 did play a part in TV storytelling in the decade that would follow. Some of it was cosmetic. Some, just grist for the storytelling mill. And there was some, occasionally, that was meaningful. The most enduring and often penetrating look at life post-9/11 has proven to be FX's "Rescue Me." A drama with darkly funny overtones, it tells the story of troubled New York City firefighter Tommy Gavin in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, when he lost many fellow firefighters, including his cousin and best friend, at the twin towers. Tommy (played by series co-creator and co-producer Denis Leary) is haunted by survivor's guilt, which is enhanced by his cousin's occasional "visits" as an apparition that tries to talk sense into him. The message of "Rescue Me," reinforced through the seven-season run that concludes Sept. 7, has always been: "Never forget." Tommy can't, and "Rescue Me" has been a faithful reminder for viewers. But "Rescue Me" didn't appear until 2004. Before then, and almost immediately after 9/11, the impact of that day was being felt in other TV narratives. "The West Wing" creator-producer Aaron Sorkin pulled off a remarkable feat within the first month. He wrote and filmed an episode of his NBC drama in time to air on Oct. 3, 2001, exploring the questions and fears thrust on Americans. Even though the events that inspired that special episode were never specifically addressed, viewers found the Bartlet White House gripped in a familiar state of high alert after the latest of several security breaches. And, in an accident of timing, deputy chief of staff Josh Lyman was stuck in the White House cafeteria in lock-down mode with a group of touring high school students. "Why is everybody trying to kill us?" one student asked him, articulating worry to which any viewer could relate. By early November, specific references had crept into dramatic dialogue. "This whole department has been through hell with the World Trade Center attacks," a fellow detective scolded grumpy Andy Sipowicz on an "NYPD Blue" episode. "You don't have a corner on personal grief!" A CBS series that had premiered as an instant hit in fall 2000 seemed further validated in the aftermath of 9/11. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" declared that truth — absolute, inarguable truth — awaits those who pursue it with keen-eyed dedication. Hard evidence — blood spatter, hair fibers, body decay, fingerprints — will pave the way to enlightenment. And what fuels the trip? Reason. In a jittery new world of relative values and crippling nuance, where answers (even including the enemy's identity) seemed scarce, "CSI" struck a weekly blow for Rational Man. (And does so to this day, as the series heads into its 12th season.) "24," though conceived and scheduled pre-9/11, resonated with viewers in an unforeseeably cathartic way after the attacks. Agent Jack Bauer was unstoppable in going after each new crop of bad guys threatening the nation, and gave them the punishment they deserved, even as the punishment he suffered in the process often seemed no less severe. After the twin towers fell, they gained riveting new force as visual symbols of all that was lost. Any trace of them was expunged from some TV shows (such as in the opening titles of "The Sopranos" and "Sex and the City"). Then their shock value was harnessed by the short-lived ABC drama "Life on Mars." Airing in the 2008-09 season, that sci-fi cop drama transported a present-day New Yorker back to 1973 and showed the World Trade Center as startling evidence of a bygone era. This summer, the season-long story arc of DirecTV's legal thriller "Damages" has focused on the abuses of a private security firm hired by the U.S. government to carry out special wartime missions in Afghanistan. Then, come October, Showtime's "Homeland" examines with its own brand of dread this 9/11 age. On "Homeland," Damian Lewis stars as a recently released American POW who comes home from Afghanistan a hero after eight years' imprisonment. But a CIA officer played by Claire Danes has the unsettling suspicion that this celebrated patriot and family man has been "turned" by his alQaeda captors and is primed to carry out an attack against his own country. "Ten years later, things have become deeper and more complex," said Alex Gansa, "Homeland" executive producer. "And the heart of this show is really psychological — how America is dealing with that 10-year period." While 9/11 didn't drastically transform television, TV dramas 10 years later seem less ready than ever to leave it behind.

This preseason event kicks off at 7:30 p.m. B1 Wednesday, August 17, 2011 Blue Devils top SEOAL field again BY BRYAN WALTERS BWALTERS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM BELPRE, Ohio — If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The Gallia Academy golf team continues to tear through the competition this fall, as the Blue Devils remained unbeaten in both regular season and league play following a five-stroke victory over the Southeastern Ohio Athletic League field Monday afternoon at Oxbow Country Club in Washington County. The Blue Devils — who won the SEOAL opener at Portsmouth last Friday — picked up right where they left off last week, as GAHS posted a winning team score of 154. Host Warren and Logan both posted identical marks of 159, with Warren taking second place on a tiebreaker. Jackson (177), Portsmouth (188) and Chillicothe (192) rounded out the six-team field in the second of six league contests. Gallia Academy recorded three of the seven sub-40 rounds fired on Monday and also had four of the top 11 efforts on the day, which also included another medalist performance from senior Nick Saunders. Saunders shared medalist honors with Logan’s Jacob Berry after the two posted matching rounds of 1over par 36. Saunders was also the lone medalist at the Portsmouth match last Friday. Seniors Boeing Smith and Corey Arthur also had sub-40 rounds for the Blue and White, firing respective rounds of 38 and 39. Junior Rob Canady rounded out the GAHS score with an effort of 41, while Derrick Gilmore and Daniel Rees also added rounds of 42 and 44, respectively. After a four-shot win at PHS and a five-stroke win at WHS, the Devils now own a perfect 10-0 mark in SEOAL play and a three-win advantage in the league standings. Logan and Warren are both tied for second at 73 overall, while Jackson sits fourth at 4-6. Chillicothe and Portsmouth are tied for fifth at 1-9 overall. The SEOAL field had to sit through a 40minute rain delay before finishing the match, but the layoff didn’t cause much trouble for the Blue Devils. That factor was a big point of emphasis for GAHS coach Corey Luce afterwards. “I was pleased with how our guys kept their composure playing in the inclement weather,” Luce said. “Nick posted a very nice score today in these conditions, and he’s been very solid for us of late. “We’ve been fortunate to have different guys step up and perform each day. That’s what good team do, they pick each other up.” The host Warriors were led by matching 39s from Ian Zoller and Zack McKenna, followed by Adam Lang with a 40. Nik Gibson and Michael Sams each fired a 41, while Steve Farley also chipped in a round of 51. Berry led the Chieftains with a 36, followed by Kris Cummings with a 37 and Caleb Cummings with a 42. Tristin Meyers rounded out the LHS team score with a 44, while Logan Holbrook and Taylor Rebels drop home opener to Belpre Sarah Hawley/photos Left, South Galliaʼs David Michael tees off on the 10th hole at Cliffside Golf Course on Monday afternoon during the Rebels home opener for the 2011 season.

Ex-Ohio State coach Jim Tressel visits Browns camp BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel is visiting the Cleveland Browns’ training camp. Tressel was forced to resign in May after breaking NCAA rules in a memorabilia-for-tattoos scandal involving several Buckeyes players. He is on the sideline watching as the Browns go through another morning workout. With his hands folded behind his back, a pose familiar to Ohio State’s loyal fans, Tressel visited with Browns president Mike Holmgren on Monday as he kept a close eye on Cleveland’s first-team offense and defense doing drills. It’s a homecoming for Tressel, who grew up in Berea and played at nearby Baldwin-Wallace College. Tressel has not made it known if he intends to coach again. There have long been rumors about him jumping to the NFL. Also visiting camp is former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr.

South Gallia is scheduled to play at Eastern on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. Jim Thome bolsters Hall case with HR No. 600 DETROIT (AP) — When Jim Thome came to the plate, needing one home run for 600, the opposing pitcher wasn’t even aware how close he was to the milestone. Then Thome sent a towering fly ball over the fence in left field. The scoreboard flashed a congratulatory message, rival fans stood and applauded, and the Minnesota Twins came out of the dugout to greet their slugger. After reaching No. 600 in grand style Monday night — with two home runs in back-to-back innings during a 9-6 win over Detroit — Thome finally earned some appreciation following a pursuit that seemed to go unnoticed for much of the season. The 40-year-old became the eighth player to reach the mark, and only Babe Ruth did it in fewer at-bats. Next stop, Cooperstown? “I don’t know. That’s not for me to decide,” Thome said. “That would be a dream. It’s pretty special. I don’t think it’s really hit home. To be mentioned and have the Hall of Fame mentioned, that’s just very, very special. That’s just really cool.” Fighting injuries during a frustrating season in Minnesota, Thome didn’t receive nearly the amount of national publicity that his predecessors who reached 600 homers did. Even Derek Jeter’s accomplishment of 3,000 hits earlier this season dwarfed the attention Thome received for an accomplishment far more rare.

Thome's home run was a three-run shot. MASON, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant Big Black varsity golf team continued their winning ways in a quad match Monday afternoon at the Riverside Golf Course in Mason, W.Va. The match started under cloudy skies with some rain falling the first few holes but ended with the clouds moving out and the sun appearing as the players completed play. Point Pleasant came out the winner against Wahama, Federal Hocking and River Valley. Point’s final total in the play six, count four format was 164. It was not an easy win though as the White Falcons made it close posting their season best score of 167. Federal Hocking posted a 222 for the nine hole match and short handed River Valley followed with a 233.

(AP) — Marcos Ambrose missed his daughter’s first day of school. She probably won’t mind. The snakebitten Ambrose, deprived more than once of a NASCAR victory, beat Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch on a twolap dash to the checkered flag Mon-day to win the rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Watkins Glen International. It was his first victory in 105 starts in NASCAR’s top series and atoned for a slip-up a year ago on the road course at Sonoma, when he stalled his car under caution while leading with six laps to go and finished sixth. “I’ve tried for 2? years,” Ambrose said. “We’re going to onward and upward from here. It’s a proud day.” Ambrose has won all three Nationwide races he’s entered at Watkins Glen, and in three Cup starts here, he’s notched one second and two thirds, including an impressive drive from last to third in 2008. Finally pulling into Victory Lane was a feeling like no other. “This is almost surreal,” the affable Australian said in his No. 9 Ford for Richard Petty Motorsports after crossing the finish line. Ambrose signed a multiyear deal with struggling RPM a year ago to drive the No. 9 this season. That capped a tumultuous summer in which he opted to leave the No. 47 at JTG Daugherty Racing at the end of 2010 with one year left on his contract, even though he knew he was taking a big risk in difficult economic times. “There were days, weeks when I was anxious,” Ambrose said. “There were times I was sitting around the boardroom table and there was nobody else there. But you’ve got to roll the dice sometimes.” It was Ford’s first victory at Watkins Glen since Geoff Bodine won here in 1996 and the 15th different winner in Cup races this year. Busch, trying to win a second time from the pole at Watkins Glen, led the field to the green flag for the final two laps. But Keselowski, racing with a broken left ankle and trying for his second straight win and third of the season, dove from third to the lead entering the first turn with Ambrose also streaking past Busch. “Those guys didn’t care to give me any room,” said Busch, who finished second to brother Kurt here in Saturday’s Nationwide race. “There’s only one corner you’ve got to make, and as soon as you make it through that corner and can keep everybody behind, it’s smooth sailing from there.” Ambrose then closed on Keselowski in the chicane after zooming through the high-speed esses and passed him for the lead before the final lap. “I wanted to win,” said Keselowski, who has the first wild card for the Chase and moved up four spots in the standings to 14th. “We had a shot at it, and that’s all you can ask as a driver.” Busch finished third, and Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano rounded out the top five. Kevin Harvick was sixth, followed by defending race winner Juan Pablo Montoya, AJ Allmendinger, Jeff Burton and Jimmie Johnson. Kurt Busch, who won at Sonoma in June, crashed early and finished 38th. He wasn’t alone: Denny Hamlin, who entered the day 11th in points, also crashed and finished 36th; five-time Watkins Glen winner Tony Stewart, who ran up front all race, was taken out on the final lap in the chicane and finished 27th; and Paul Menard, also in the hunt for a spot in the Chase, brought out the race-changing caution when he crashed on the 86th lap and finished 32nd. The top 10 drivers in the standings and the two drivers with the most victories in 11th to 20th place earn spots for the 10-race Chase. Keselowski never got the chance to challenge for the win on the final lap. The race ended with a caution as David Reutimann and David Ragan crashed violently entering the second turn, with Ragan slamming head-on into the guard rail and Reutimann’s car bouncing hard off the barrier and sliding upside down across the track. Ambrose was on a conservative pit strategy all day despite threatening weather — the race was postponed by rain Sunday and more was in the forecast. He passed Truex for third on turn one, a 90-degree righthander, of lap 73 and moved up to the bumper of Keselowski. Ambrose then outbraked Keselowski going into the first turn on lap 76 and set his sights on Busch. He moved within three car lengths on lap 80 as the two encoun- tered lapped traffic and closed to Busch’s back bumper in the chicane with eight laps to go. “Plenty of time to get him. Go get him,” said Ambrose’s crew chief, Todd Parrott. Ambrose got the chance he wanted when Menard, running 14th, blew a tire and crashed on lap 86, bringing out the final caution. That set up the frantic dash to the finish of what turned into a 92-lap race and spoiled the day for Kyle Busch, who led 49 laps. He was in the catbird seat for 18 straight circuits when Menard crashed. “The last couple of laps I was getting away from him (Ambrose),” said Busch, who moved into a tie with Carl Edwards for the top spot in the standings. “The last thing I wanted to see was a caution — knew it was going to come down to one corner and I messed up.” Hamlin brought out the third caution of the race on lap 67 when he zoomed at high speed straight through the first turn and slammed headon into the tire barrier that borders the paved runout area. Hamlin, who started at the rear of the field after a crash in qualifying and was all the way up to 11th, was not injured. But the stoppage jumbled the running order as Jeff Gordon gave up the lead to pit for the final time, giving Kyle Busch the lead again with Keselowski alongside him in the front row and Ambrose and Montoya in the third row. “I had no brakes,” Hamlin said. “I was trying to do everything I could. Just nothing you can do.” With advice from Favre, McCoy dazzles for Browns BEREA, Ohio (AP) — Colt McCoy showed up for his postgame news conference wearing a Tshirt endorsing a fishing tackle company. Maybe best to reel in the expectations right away. After all, McCoy may have a tough time topping his exhibition debut. Looking poised and comfortable in Cleveland’s new West Coast offense, McCoy outshined Super Bowl star Aaron Rodgers and was nearly flawless as the Browns beat the Green Bay Packers 27-17 on Saturday night, making Cleveland rookie coach Pat Shurmur a winner in his first NFL preseason game. McCoy completed 9 of 10 passes for 135 yards, one touchdown and compiled a 152.1 passer’s rating — just a few points shy of perfection. The Browns, who have spent the past decade in a frustrating search for a franchise quarterback to lead them back to respectability, are hoping McCoy, may finally answer their prayers. He’s off to a nice start. “Pretty good,” McCoy humbly said in assessing his performance. “We understand we have a long way to go.” No doubt. But for the first time in ages, the Browns, who have just one playoff appearance since 1999 and lost at least 10 games in seven of the last eight seasons, seem to be headed in the same direction. And, they’re counting on McCoy to lead the way. Needing to get up to speed on the complex offense during the off-season, McCoy sought advice from a West Coast master. Brett Favre was happy to help. As the league’s labor lockout dragged on, McCoy went to Hattiesburg, Miss., and spent a few days with the threetime NFL MVP, who learned the West Coast system while playing for Browns president Mike Holmgren in Green Bay. McCoy gleaned all he could from the-retired-atthe-moment Favre, who won a Super Bowl with Holmgren in 1996. “Since I couldn’t get coached, it was a great opportunity to pick the brain of a guy who played in the system for 20 years,” McCoy said through a team spokesman. “It was a chance for me to get a lot of questions answered. We worked on footwork, progressions, reads and things like that. It was definitely a positive trip.” McCoy is expected to offer more on the Favre visit Tuesday. Shurmur was encouraged by McCoy’s first outing in the passer friendly system the first-year coach brought from St. Louis, where he taught it to Rams quarterback Sam Bradford. Shurmur knows it can work, and is pleased with how quickly McCoy has picked it up in training camp. “He was efficient,” COMING SOON! OHIO VALLEY ANIMAL HOSPITAL Shurmur said after Monday’s practice. “He saw what was going on extremely well. He was pretty accurate with his throws and pretty solid with his decision making. But again, once you have what would be considered a solid performance, then it’s all about consistency and he was right back on the stick this morning, getting better at some things.” McCoy will get a chance to build off his impressive debut on Friday, when the Browns host Detroit. After dissecting the Packers, who were without star cornerback Charles Woodson and are currently thin in the secondary, McCoy was careful not to make too much of his strong game. He also made sure he spread the praise around to his teammates. His night didn’t start well. On Cleveland’s first snap, McCoy couldn’t find an open receiver, and in a panic, lateralled to rookie fullback Owen Marecic, who recovered his fumble. McCoy regrouped and completed five straight passes, the last a 27-yard TD strike to Josh Cribbs. When he came to the sideline, McCoy acknowledged his early mistake to Shurmur. “He said, ‘Coach, I should of just ran with it,’” Shurmur said. “He knows what he’s looking at. As we get more and more comfortable with one another, as he gets more and more comfortable with his players and the system, I hope he will progress next week.” As for his progress during the game, McCoy showed he’s able to make the Xs and Os in Shurmur’s playbook spring to life. On a crossing pattern to wide receiver Brian Robiskie, McCoy looked off the safety to the right, creating a slim opening over the middle. He waited for Robiskie to clear the coverage and threw him a low dart for a 15-yard reception. “One of my favorite plays of the night is Robo,” he said of the play to Robiskie. “We run a little play-action deep slant. Normally, you hit that ball in the first window but they rolled the safety down and Robo converted over the top and I hit him in the second window. It was a nice job by him of staying alive. There were some good things, there really were.” McCoy certainly made a strong impression on the Packers. “You can tell he definitely studied us some,” nose tackle B.J. Raji said. “They did some things as far as getting him on the move and rollouts and quick West Coast stuff to get his confidence up there. And he did a good job and made the right decisions.” Raji believes McCoy has all the skills to win as a pro. “An NFL quarterback’s all about winning, and if memory serves me correctly, he was the winningest quarterback in NCAA history,” he said. “The guy can play, he can win games, he knows what it takes. He has a bright future, there’s no question about that.” The Browns are counting on it. Summertime is a great time to schedule Annual Exams and Sports Physicals.

Kelsey Allbright posted a 43 and Adam Thomas contributed a 46 for Point’s final total. Denver Thomas’ score was not included in the top 4 scores. Wahama achieved its score by shooting 4 consistent scores. Dakota Sisk shot a 40 to lead the White Falcons. Kevin Back, after a slow start, rallied to to shoot a 41. Both Samuel Gordon and Morgan Nottingham posted identical totals of 43 to complete the four scores that counted. Caroline Thompson and Ben Foreman both posted a score of 51, which were not counted in the final tally. Federal Hocking was Thome from Page B1 There were reasons for that, of course. Jeter is one of the game’s icons, playing for its most famous team — and perhaps on some level, fans became numb to skyhigh power numbers after so many of Thome’s contemporaries reached 600 before him. Thome is the fifth player since 2002 to enter that club, beginning with Barry Bonds nine years ago. Alex Rodriguez was the most recent to achieve the milestone, last August. Unlike Bonds and Rodriguez, Thome has largely eluded suspicion of using performanceenhancing drugs. His country-strong physique was never chiseled like some of the hulking sluggers who proliferated his generation. “You look at how long he’s played in the game and when you’re able to do something like that, it’s preparation, taking care of yourself,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “If you watch him come to the ballpark very early every day and prepare himself to get his body motivated, which we all know as you get a little older, it’s not that easy. But to watch him get himself motivated and get himself up to be able to do these things, hopefully a lot of our guys can learn a lot.” This season has been a struggle for Thome. He’s been bothered by injuries to his toe, oblique and quadriceps. His milestone homer was only his 11th of the year in his 185th at-bat, and he admitted on Monday night that he was wondering if it was ever going to happen. Just as Jeter reached hit No. 3,000 in dramatic fashion during a five-hit game last month, Thome arrived at his milestone with flair. His two-run homer in the sixth gave him 599, then he har- lowed by respective efforts of 48 and 49 from Gabe Preston and Jake Brown. Tyler Morrisey rounded out the team score with a 50, and K.J. King also added a 67 for the Cavs. The SEOAL title chase resumes Monday when the six programs head to Chillicothe for match three of six. led by a pair of 52’s shot by Steven Coen and Shane Gillian. Austin Russell added a 57 while Tylar Clemens posted a 61 to account for the final total. Zack Kidder also played for Federal Hocking with his score not included in the final score. River Valley was short handed having only four players available for this contest. Dan Goodrich posted his team’s best score with a 49. Zack Morris shot a 56 with Jordan Howell adding a 62. Tayler Wooldridge turned in a 64 for River Valley’s fourth and final score. The Wahama-Federal Hocking match up was a TVC conference contest. Wahama’s win gives them a conference record of 2-1 for the young season. Wahama and Point Pleasant go at it again on Tuesday, August 16 at Riverside against the young men from Ripley. nessed the power again in that pure left-handed swing, lifting a 2-1 pitch from Daniel Schlereth in the seventh over the fence in left field. “I wasn’t really aware of it. I knew he was close to 600, but I didn’t know if that was going to be the one,” Schlereth said. “I’m not exactly happy about it, but he’s a great player, and I’m a huge fan of his. He did a great thing tonight, and ... I felt kind of awkward, I didn’t know whether to clap or what.” By the time Thome touched home, Detroit’s fans were well aware of the accomplishment and showed their appreciation. The celebration at the plate included Thome’s father, wife and children, but it didn’t delay the game much. “Obviously when you’re on the road, the game has to move on,” Thome said. “To stop there and cherish that moment — in the visiting park they give you a standing ovation — is really cool. Throughout the years, there’s been a little bit of heckling here, through the years, for the good. To watch them stand up and cheer is very, very special.” It was perhaps fitting that Thome reached No. 600 in a matchup of AL Central rivals. He hit 334 home runs with Cleveland and 134 with the Chicago White Sox. Ruth reached No. 600 in 6,921 at-bats. Thome needed 8,167. Only seven hitters have hit more home runs than the burly Thome: Bonds, Hank Aaron, Ruth, Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., Rodriguez and Sammy Sosa. Thome, of course, still has time to add to his total — and bolster his Hall of Fame case even more. Tigers manager Jim Leyland doesn’t need convincing. “Certainly that’s a Hall of Fame achievement,” Leyland said. “Hall of Fame from the get-go. He’s just a Hall of Fame guy, and a Hall of Fame player.” �Wednesday, August 17, 2011 P O L I C I E S  Ohio Valley Publishing reserves the right to edit, reject or cancel any ad at any time. ¾Errors Must Be Reported on the first day of publication and the TribuneSentinel-Register will be responsible for no more than the cost of the space occupied by the error and only the first insertion.

(AP) — The kid standing behind 15-year-old Tiger Woods on the tee at Torrey Pines was two years older and already a hotshot himself on Southern Cal-ifornia’s rough-and-tumble amateur golf circuit the first time he saw the look. Chris Riley had played the skinny teenager with the growing reputation a dozen times before. This time, he was 2-up with seven holes to play in the prestigious Junior World Championship. “We were at No. 12, a long par 4 and I’d already hit mine 260 yards. He smoked his 310, straight down the middle, then turned around and shot me this little smile. He was just fearless,” Riley recalled some 20 years later. “He already knew he had me.” Riley first met Woods when he was 10. He beat him to the pro tour in 1996 by a few months. Soon enough, though, every other player on the PGA Tour knew exactly what that look meant. Mired in the second year of the deepest slump of his career, Woods didn’t scare anyone at last week’s PGA Championship. He looked lost, not fearless. Not many superstars in the world of sports and entertainment have fallen so far so fast. Woods was knocked off his throne by a self-inflicted sex scandal that erupted at Thanksgiving in 2009 and cost him his marriage. He was quickly — and unceremoniously — dumped by sponsors and humiliated by the same TV shows and newspapers that once begged for interviews. Woods went into exile, finally returning to golf in April 2010 at the Masters with a fourth-place finish. He has been steadily losing ground in the golf rankings ever since. Some believe he will never be that indomitable player again; others, including a few who know Woods better, say it’s crazy to count him out. “He’s always been the best. His dad drilled that into him,” Riley said, “But this has got to be the lowest point of his career. Nobody has ever seen him do the stuff he’s doing now. It hurts to see it. Honestly, I don’t know that he’s ever had to struggle. “But I guarantee you this: He’ll be back on top. And when he is,” Riley paused, “it’s going to be that much sweeter.” Speculation about Woods’ erratic play the past two seasons zeroed in on his psyche initially. From there, the blame shifted onto his work-in-progress swing and then the very real problem with his legs. “He was the most mentally and emotionally tough athlete of all time, so here’s the question I’m interested in,” said sports psychologist Gregg Steinberg, who was a swing instructor earlier in his career. “Why did Tiger play last week if any or all of those problems were bothering him, or if — as the results suggest — he knew he wasn’t ready? “Maybe he thought he could catch lightning in a bottle. That’s one guess. The other would be he wanted to measure himself. ... The secret to being great is self-awareness and so whether that was his intention or not,” Steinberg added, “he definitely knows now that he needs a good butt-kicking.” Last week marked only the third time Woods missed the cut in a major as a professional. It happened at the 2006 U.S. Open — shortly after the death of his father, Earl — and the British Open two years ago. More troubling still might have been Woods’ demeanor over his final few holes. As shots veered left or right of the fairway, and occasionally into a bunker, pond or the Georgia pines lining both sides, Woods tracked their flight with a deflated expression or simply dropped his head into his chest. Absent were the trademark temper tantrums and even a hint of the joyful explosions that once rocketed Woods up the leaderboard at every one of the game’s biggest events. “Golf is as much art as it is technical, and that’s where his genius was. He always had this spirit, this belief he could find a way to do anything he could dream up,” said Rudy Duran, who began tutoring Tiger at age 4, about the time Earl Woods had exhausted his own teaching repertoire. “I ran into him one afternoon at Heartwell (Golf Course in Long Beach, Calif., an 18-hole executive course that became Woods’ playground) and he was standing in a bunker surrounded by 50 balls. Tiger was around 8 at the time. He was trying to hit one out and make it spin left on landing, then make the next one go right, the next one straight and so on. “I only watched a few of his shots this weekend, but I don’t think he’s broken,” he added. “And only someone who doesn’t know a thing about golf would think he’s done.” Duran handed Woods off to another teacher by age 10, and noted that rather than working on swing technique, his lessons consisted largely of simple tips designed to let the youngster have more fun. “I’d say, ‘Try this to make the ball go higher, this to keep it low.’ Believe me, I wasn’t grooming him to became the best player in the world, but I never came close to exhausting his imagination. I don’t know enough to guess where his game is, but I’ll say this: He’s not walking a tightrope between success and failure. That’s just silly. “He hasn’t forgotten how to play. And once he gets a swing he’s comfortable with,” Duran said finally, “who knows what he’s still capable of?” Most of golf’s greatest champions collected their majors over 8-10 years and crested the hill by their mid to late 30s. Bobby Jones retired at 28. Tom Watson and Byron Nelson never won another after 33, Arnold Palmer, 34, and Walter Hagen, 36. Gary Player won only one of his nine after 38 and Nick Faldo his last at 39. Ben Hogan was an anomaly, finding his “secret” after a car crash nearly killed him and winning into his early 40s. Jack Nicklaus, whose 18 career majors was the benchmark Woods set himself as a youngster, won all but one of his over an 18-year span; and that last one, the 1986 Masters at age 46, was what people mean when they use the phrase, “catching lightning in a bottle.” Woods turned 35 last December and collected his 14 majors between the 1997 Masters and 2008 U.S. Open, where he won effectively playing on a broken left leg. He’s now had four surgeries on that leg and arrived at the PGA Championship after a twomonth layoff to rehab the bad wheel — and a year into his latest swing overhaul with Sean Foley, the third coach he hired since turning pro. “If he works at it, he’ll get his game back. He’ll either figure out how to put it together or go in a different direction,” said Hank Haney, who coached Woods the half-dozen years between Butch David J. Phillip/AP Photo Tiger Woods reacts on the fifth hole during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament Friday, at the Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Ga. Woods bogeyed the par 5. Harmon, his first pro coach, and Foley. “Criticizing the method any of us used, frankly, is irrelevant. This guy has so much talent, he can learn to make almost any swing work. And if it doesn’t work, well, that’s just temporary. Like I said, he’s not afraid to go in a different direction. “In my mind, what happened this weekend raises two questions: Will his body hold up so he can practice enough to make this swing work? And if his body can take the work, does he still have the passion to plow in all the practice it will take to make it work?” Haney said he and Woods were in touch, either in person or on the phone, some 200 days a year. In the past, after a performance such as this one, he might not have heard from Woods for a week. “If he missed a cut, he’d be so mad, he was probably back practicing somewhere that Sunday,” Haney said. “The problem now is the longer he slides, the tougher it becomes climbing back up the mountain. And now, he’s already got a long one ahead of him.” FREE ONLINE Search Engine Marketing Seminar Thursday, August 25, 2011 Brought to you by • Do you want your business to be listed on the first page of Google Search? • Do you want that high listing without paying a small fortune?
