2015 Jay County Fair

Editor’s note: This is the fifthin a series of stories about JayCounty’s consolidation to a sin-gle high school. The series willlook at each of the five highschools that merged, the teach-ers, athletics and the first gradu-ating class at JCHS. It will runon Saturdays through mid-August.By CHANCE FULLERThe Commercial ReviewTheir school is no longer

around, but the Speedcatsremain.Dunkirk High School was

one of five high schools, alongwith Portland, Bryant, Redkey,and Pennville that consolidat-

ed to become Jay County HighSchool in 1976.“I’m glad I got the opportunity

to go to a smaller school,” saidChuck Huffman, who was thepresident for the class of 1975.Dunkirk has a long history of

schools that began long beforethe Speedcats and the DunkirkHigh School that sat on the cor-ner of Highland Avenue andMain Street. The first schoolhouse in

Dunkirk, located across MainStreet from where DunkirkHigh School would eventuallybe built, was built in 1839. Theschoolhouse would be used untila new one was built at the cor-

ner of Lincoln and Main Streetsin 1853. In the late 1800s andearly 1900s two buildings —north and south — were useduntil a fire destroyed the northbuilding in 1919 and DunkirkHigh School was built in itsplace in 1922.It was that year the Speedcat

nickname was adopted.Dunkirk’s colors at the timewere orange and black, andwould remain that way foralmost 15 years before switchingto the signature green and whitenow commonly associated withit.The first class to graduate

from what was called Dunkirk

High School was in 1895 with sixgraduates — Blanch Bowman,Maud Miller, Lela Brotherton,Flora McConnel, Walter Bakerand John Webster. The class of 1975 was the last

to walk across the stage andreceive diplomas from DHS, butthey were supposed to be thefirst at the new Jay County HighSchool. The completion of JCHSwas delayed, causing the class tograduate in Dunkirk.“I was pretty pleased about it

because I wanted to graduatefrom Dunkirk and not a school Iwent to for one year,” Karen(Brown) Walsh said.

By JOSH LEDERMANAssociated PressWASHINGTON — The

embattled head of the gov-ernment’s personnel officeabruptly stepped down Fri-day, bowing to mountingpressure following theunprecedented breach ofprivate information heragency was entrusted toprotect.Katherine Archuleta had

served as director of thefederal Office of PersonnelManagement since Novem-ber 2013. The formernational political directorfor President BarackObama’s 2012 re-electioncampaign, Archuleta cameunder criticism amid reve-lations this year that hack-ers — widely believed to beChina’s government — hadinfiltrated her agency’sdatabases as well as back-ground-check records formillions who applied forU.S. security clearances.On Thursday, Archuleta

had rebuffed demands thatshe resign, declaring shewas “committed to thework that I am doing.” Buther continued tenure at theagency grew untenable ascalls from lawmakers —including members ofObama’s own party —mushroomed. On Fridaymorning, she came to theWhite House to personallysubmit her resignation toObama. He named BethCobert, currently deputydirector for management atthe White House’s Office ofManagement and Budget,to step in as acting directorat OPM.“It’s quite clear that new

leadership, with a set ofskills and experiences thatare unique to the urgentchallenges that OPM faces,are badly needed,” saidWhite House spokesmanJosh Earnest.Archuleta’s resignation

came one day after theadministration disclosedthat the number of peopleaffected by the federal databreach was far greater thanpreviously known.

Leaderleavesafterbreach

By CHANCE FULLERThe Commercial ReviewAt 76 years old, most people

are trying to clear their sched-ule for some much-deservedrelaxation, but Bob Lyons isdoing just the opposite.“My wife thinks I’m spread

too thin,” said Lyons, a memberof the Jay County Fair Board.It is easy to see how she

thinks that about her husbandof 56 years. Lyons, who taughtagriculture at Portland and JayCounty high schools for 46years, remains a full-timefarmer, has been Pike Townshiptrustee for 44 years and thisyear marks his 49th year on thefair board, is not planning onslowing down.The Jay County Fair turned

143 this year, and Lyons hasattended and been a part of it

for the better part of his life. Itis safe to say it is a part of whohe is and what he stands for. It’sin his blood.His great-great grandfather,

Elijah Lyons, who would go onto be president of the fair board,was one of the 25 original stock-holders who each put up $25 topurchase what is now the fair-grounds.That share has been passed

through his family.“I’m the fifth generation with

this original share of stock,”said the Bryant High Schoolgraduate.He was chosen to be a part of

the board in 1966 when a formermember resigned. Lyons is no longer an officer

on the board but has “wornmany hats.”

By RICK CALLAHANAssociated PressINDIANAPOLIS — Indi-

ana’s statewide ban onbird shows imposed inresponse to a deadly avianflu was relaxed Fridayafter officials tweaked theemergency rule to allowowners of parrots,canaries and other non-poultry birds to resume

showing and selling thoseanimals at flea marketsand other settings.The State Board of Ani-

mal Health voted 8-0Thursday in favor of apackage of changes to theban. One change, whichtook effect Friday, meansparrots, canaries andother songbirds as well asdoves and pigeons can

once again be part of exhi-bitions, sales and otherevents where the animalsare commingled.Board of Animal Health

spokeswoman Denise Der-rer said the panel alsovoted to end on Sept. 17Indiana’s ban on poultryshows, which has keptchickens, ducks and otherbirds from summer coun-

ty fairs and the IndianaState Fair in August.That ban prompted offi-

cials of agricultural youthgroup 4-H to adopt alterna-tive plans, including usingphotos and toy chickens asstand-ins for the realthing, to allow youngsterswho raised poultrythrough 4-H programs tomake presentations on

their animal-raising skillsat their county fair.“This change isn’t really

going to impact the countyfair season because mostof them are done by thefirst week of August. Sothey’ll pretty much staythe course under the poul-try ban for the countyfairs,” Derrer said Friday.

The Commercial Review/Chance Fuller

Jay County Fair Board member Bob Lyons, center, a long-time teacher andfarmer in Jay County, sits on the edge of the pen while announcing during the hogwrestling competition Monday. Lyons, who oversees the Classics area as part of hisduties, has been a fair board member for 49 years.

Continued from page 1She said the only county

fair held after Sept. 17 isnortheastern Indiana’sDeKalb County Free FallFair, which runs Sept. 28through Oct. 3.Lynne Wahlstrom, that

county’s Purdue Exten-sion educator for 4-Hyouth development, saidlocal 4-H officials are still

assessing the change thatcould potentially allowyoungsters to show theirpoultry at the fairgroundsin Auburn.“We’re going to get that

figured out, probably nextweek, when everybody hastime to get together andtalk,” she said.Derrer said the plans to

lift the poultry show ban

in September couldchange if more avian flucases emerge. She saidthere have been no newU.S. cases of the diseasesince June 17, but officialsare keeping watch foradditional cases.She said the board

relaxed the ban largelybased on epidemiologicaldata on how the avian fluis spread and what speciesit afflicts.That illness killed near-

ly 50 million birds, prima-rily chickens and othercommercial poultry, most-ly in the Upper Midwest.Indiana’s only confirmedcase was in early May in asingle backyard flock of

mixed poultry in northernIndiana’s Whitley County.Bill Wulff, treasurer of

the Indiana Poultry Breed-ers Association, said theboard’s tentative move toend the poultry show banon Sept. 17 is great newsfor breeding groups inBloomington, Con-nersville, Lebanon andSpencer that hold poultryexhibitions in the fall andwinter.“We are elated to get our

state opened back up.There’s a lot of revenuethat comes into those com-munities through thoseshows, from the hotelrooms, the food and gas,”he said.

The Alexanders - 2015

DEAR ABBY: My husband hasstage 4 cancer and is in constantpain. A big worry for him is mybeing alone in life after his passing.Several months ago when the subjectcame up, I told him that while I’m nota prophet, I know I’ll be OK. I’m asocial person. I have a nice supportgroup with various organizations,and I’m close with family and co-workers, etc.Four months ago, a high school

friend and I reconnected. We haveshared many conversations and havebuilt a meaningful relationship. Thegnawing question is, do I share thisinformation with my husband now,wait until he mentions his leavingme alone again or say nothing?There is a fine line here between put-ting my husband’s fears to rest andpotentially making him feel he willbe easily replaced.This is not a topic I feel comfort-

able sharing with my friends. I’mcurious what other women havedone in similar situations. Do theyexplore the new situation, have anaffair or maintain a celibate rela-tionship? Your response will helpwith some of the stress I’m having atthis juncture. — NOT EASILYREPLACEDDDEEAARR NNOOTT EEAASSIILLYY RREEPPLLAACCEEDD:: II

By ANN IMIGThe Washington PostParents know that when they

bring a baby into the world, theday looms when they must facetheir hypocrisy. Whether we for-get to substitute “sugar”“freakin’” or “CheeseOn-RiceOnACracker” for their non-pseudonymous counterparts,face questions about what pre-cisely Daddy and I did to produceour children (and how often wedo it now), or choose how muchwe will reveal to our childrenabout our past and present sub-stance use, we know the reckon-ing awaits.My 11-year-old son begins 6th

grade this fall. Middle school.Experimentation Ground Zero.

By his age, I’d graduated fromThe Exorcist to the goriest ofhorror/slasher films, tried myfirst puff of a cigarette, and offi-ciated plenty of non-wholesomecrank calls. The youngest of ablended family with four kids, Ihad minimum adult supervisionand maximum hours of televi-sion, peppered with playdates Ischeduled myself. I made fre-quent trips to the corner store tostock up on Jolly Rancher sticks,Tangy Taffy, and Mr. Freezepops. What we now call a “free-range” child, I enjoyed my latch-key existence with four workingparents. By the end of elemen-tary school I rode the city bus,my bike, or my own two legsalone or with friends, transport-

ing me downtown or to the mallto check out Sheena Easton'snew hit single 45 at the recordstore, ogle a Bruce Willis Moon-lighting poster or two, andperuse the adult-only section ofgift and novelty stores. Suffice itto say I explored my freedom,supported by parents who lovedme greatly, if at a bit of a dis-tance while they navigated sec-ond-marriages, co-custody, andcareers.How I grew into a member of

the sugar-monitoring, screen-time-rationing and “appropri-ate” content-judging parentingGestapo, I cannot understand. Iscan every grocery label, weigh-ing my children's weekly intakeof red dye 40 against whatever

lame vegetable-enhanced natu-ral alternative exists. I enforcethe two-hour daily pediatrician-recommended screen cap bykitchen timer like a world-classrunner tracking her splits. Myhusband and I banned all bloodyviolent video war games fromour home. If I'm honest, my sonhas never so much as walkedunaccompanied to a friend'shouse to play, nor has he riddenpublic transportation solo. Hestill asks me for permission tobuy or even eat his candy. I know,I know.I try to tell myself my parent-

ing falls under the heading ofconscientious and not “crazy-uptight-helicopter-freak-lady.”Recently I read an article recom-

mending no sleepovers of anykind, mainly due to the risk ofpredators. My blood pressurestarted to rise, and then I remem-bered the story of my own babysitter practically running fromour home, so scared of whichev-er Nightmare On Elm Streetmovie I forced her to watch. Irecalled my own fifth gradesleepover party where a creepyvideo store guy recommendedthe original Last House on TheLeft and my poor friend Deborahrocked back and forth with hereyes closed while the rest of usgot quite the education aboutwhat happens to two teenagegirls who go to Woodstock, try tobuy pot, and get abducted andmuch (much) worse.

By KATHRYNE RUBRIGHTThe Commercial Review I’m not Catholic, but this

pope is pretty cool.That’s not necessarily

something I ever expectedto say, but it’s been my reac-tion to a lot of what PopeFrancis has said in the pastfew years.And it continued Thurs-

day when he was in Boliviaand apologized for offensesagainst indigenous peoplecommitted by the CatholicChurch back when, well,the Church could take partin violent conquests and noone seemed to mind.He also asked for forgive-

ness in front of an audiencethat included indigenouspeople and Evo Morales,the country’s first indige-nous president.Francis didn’t have to do

that. He could have just notacknowledged anything,which is what I imaginemost people would do.That’s easier.Or he could have done

what his predecessor, Bene-dict XVI, did, when he visit-ed Brazil and said SouthAmerican natives had been“silently longing” for con-version to Christianity. That might have been

acceptable if the wholething hadn’t been so vio-lent, but you can’t tell peo-ple whose ancestors werevictims of genocide thatthey were asking for it.So, good on Francis for

being honest and takingsome responsibility. I’m also a fan of what

he’s recently said about cli-mate change: that fossil fuelusage and human activityare largely to blame, andthat we have to do some-

thing about it.I wouldn’t expect a major

statement on climatechange to come from a reli-gious institution, but I’mnot complaining whenmore than one billion peo-ple have reason to beexposed to a statement thatI think more need to get onboard with. He also emphasized that

the poorest people in theworld are getting hurt themost. Countries like theU.S. are disproportionatelyresponsible for climatechange, but have the meansto pretend we’re not asimpactful as we actuallyare.He’s got a point, and if a

religion tells its followersthat they ought to take careof the poor, that should gettheir attention.While I’m sure plenty of

conservatives are dismiss-ing what the pope has said,I also have to hope that thismessage about the environ-ment coming from a newsource will get through tosome.Overall, Pope Francis

seems a lot more acceptingand progressive than what Iwould have expected.Whether one is Catholic ornot, he’s said a lot that’sworth paying attention toand that should be appeal-ing to everyone regardlessof religion.

Message goesbeyond religion

By JOSHUA SCHANKand JEFF DAVISSpecial to The Washington Post Can you name the U.S. president

who raised taxes during a recessionto fund increased infrastructureinvestment? Must be a real liberal,right?Actually, it was none other than

Ronald Wilson Reagan, in 1982. Hemade this tough decision to ensurewe had adequate investment in ourtransportation network.Reagan’s unlikely move is all the

more amazing when you considerthat he did it without facing thepressure of a potential shutdown ofthe federal highway and transit pro-grams, as we do now. By the end of this month, Con-

gress will have to bail out the High-way Trust Fund for the seventhtime since 2008. Since that time,Congress and two administrationshave been unwilling to increaseexcise taxes on gasoline, diesel fueland the trucking industry, whichtogether raise about $40 billion peryear. They have also been unwillingto decrease new spending commit-ments drawn on the trust fund or tomake any significant effort to spendwhat we have more effectively. Thuswe are stuck in what feels like a per-manent stalemate. Congress isdrifting toward yet another tempo-rary bailout without addressing thenation’s long-term needs.So, how was it that a famously

tax- cutting, conservative presidentsuch as Reagan raised federal taxeson motor fuels by 125 percent? Wehad to go to the Reagan library inSimi Valley, California, to find out.First, it is important to remember

that while Reagan was concernedabout the burden of general taxa-tion, he often supported raising spe-cific taxes to recover the costs offederal spending benefiting certaingroups or sectors. In fact, in his veryfirst budget, in April 1981,Reaganproposed tripling aviation gasolineand jet fuel taxes over time so theFederal Aviation Administrationcould recover the costs of providingair traffic control to private planes.

That budget also proposed triplingthe taxes and fees paid by bargeoperators on inland waterways andwould have defrayed one-third ofthe Coast Guard’s operating budgetthrough new fees charged to boatowners and operators. A taxincrease on motorists and the truck-ing industry to defray increasedcosts of road construction was con-sistent with this philosophy.Second, congressional Republi-

cans have fundamentally changedtheir political approach since Rea-gan’s time. An internal whip countof House Republicans in April 1982showed that more than 70 percentof them told their leadership thatthey would “favor some revenueraising measures” to fight thedeficit. And Republicans on theSenate Finance Committee almostpassed a bill in the summer of 1982raising the gas tax for deficit reduc-tion. Today’s congressional GOP isso viscerally anti-tax that even aRepublican president as belovedwithin the party as Reagan wouldhave difficulty replicating his suc-cesses.Third, Reagan gave Cabinet sec-

retaries freedom to speak theirminds on policy in a way that seemsalmost unthinkable today. Then-Transportation Secretary DrewLewis was publicly advocating for agas-tax increase for almost a fullyear before Reagan approved theplan. Lewis was always careful tosay, essentially, “the president hasnot signed on — yet,” but he wasquite open about asking for help inconvincing Reagan that a taxincrease was the right move.Lewis’s experience stands in starkcontrast to that of Ray LaHood, whoas transportation secretary in Feb-ruary 2009 remarked that the gov-

ernment should explore a possibletransition to a mileage-based road-use tax only to be instantly rebukedby President Barack Obama’s presssecretary.Fourth, once Reagan made a deci-

sion to support a policy, he went allin. On Nov. 23, 1982, Reagan formal-ly signed off in support of a gas-taxincrease. A sophisticated Trans-portation Department outreachoperation followed and was matchedby a significant personal effort byReagan. He gave speeches to inter-est groups, delivered a nationalradio address, made dozens of tele-phone calls and held meetings withmembers of Congress to raise sup-port for the tax increase and for thepublic infrastructure spending theproceeds would support. We are desperate for that kind of

leadership today. The federal trans-portation program has lacked sus-tainable funding for so long thatstates and localities, which rely onfederal funding for about 45 percentof their capital investments, cannotmake effective long-term planningdecisions. Meanwhile, our underin-vestment in transportation is mak-ing us less competitive globally, aspeople and goods are delayed byantiquated systems designed andbuilt decades ago.Congress and the administration

would do well to learn from the bolddecisions made by Reagan and the1982 Congress. They faced difficultobstacles, including a recession,growing infrastructure needs andpolitical challenges. Yet theyworked toward compromise andfound a solution that sustained fed-eral transportation investments foryears.In the spirit of our 40th presi-

dent, the time has come for Con-gress and Obama to show somecourage and make wise invest-ments in the nation’s future.

South Bend TribuneParents have tried every-

thing from bribery tothreats to get theirteenagers — not generallyknown for their decision-making skills — to do theright thing.A new Indiana law offers

incentives to young driv-ers. It allows teens whotake driver’s educationclasses to get their licensewhen they are 16 years, 3months old. Previously,they had to wait until theyturned 16 years, 6 months.The law tweaks the

state’s graduated driver’slicense. The GDL required50 hours of superviseddriving time. It also placedgreater restrictions onnighttime driving for teenson probationary licensesand banned cell-phone usefor drivers under 18.The new law expands the

cellphone ban to age 21. Italso expands 50 hours ofsupervised driving timerequirement to include 18-year-old drivers.Since implementation of

the first phase of the GDLin 2009, the number of teendrivers in collisionsdropped from a quarterlyaverage of nearly 5,000 tojust over 3,500, a 29 percentdecrease, according to a2013 report from the PublicPolicy Institute at IndianaUniversity-Purdue Univer-sity.The latest changes were

spurred by concern aboutan increasing number offatal crashes involvingolder teens, who could geta license without thesupervised drivingrequirements.This common-sense

approach in crafting legis-lation on this serious safe-ty issue well serves allIndiana residents — espe-cially teens and their par-ents.

Continued from page 1Things have changed over the 49

years he has worked with the fair,and that’s part of the reason thereis now a Classics section.Lyons oversees the area east of

the 4-H barns that holds crafts, logcutting, chainsaw art and classictractors.Many of the John Deere tractors

found in the Classics sectionbelong to Lyons, who collects themas a hobby. FFA and 4-H hold great impor-

tance to him, as he was a 10-year 4-H member in his youth. He still

farms full time on about 1,500acres.“Agriculture is really in my

blood, that’s my religion,” Lyonssaid. “The ag part of the fair is myfavorite side.” Lyons can be found working and

organizing many of the events thatare for children because they arethe same activities he enjoyeddoing as a child himself.“I used to mow lawns for a dollar

a yard, and my mother would giveme a dollar a day that I went to thefair, I went every day,” Lyonsexplained.

He would save his dollar for theend of the day and then buy 20sticks of taffy that were as big “aspieces of bacon.” There were a lotof things to do, but many of themhad a charge and he could notafford them. These experiences area big reason why there are manyfree activities for children. “I wanna do things that the kids

can do for nothing,” Lyons said.“That they can get in and play forfree.” There are many such activities:

the pedal pull, egg toss, euchregames, checkers, cornhole and

even free ice cream at 4 p.m. eachday of the fair. Many of the gamesalso provide prizes even thoughthere is no charge to participate.“I get a big kick out of organiz-

ing things, and making thingswork,” Lyons said.He has raised $10,000 for new

poultry cages and $14,000 forupkeep of the new Marion andIrene Bubp Exhibition Hall. That’son top of the $150,000 he brought infor a greenhouse at JCHS when hewas a teacher. “That stuff really turns my

gears,” he said.

Continued from page 1The class consisted of

45 students, and manythink back on their timeat DHS and have fondmemories of the schooland their classmates. Randy Bedwell liked the

small community andhow everyone knew eachother. The freedom thatcame with a small schooland close-knit relation-ships made for a betterexperience, he said.There were times how-

ever that knowing every-one in and out of schoolmade it difficult. Bedwellspoke of an incident inwhich a family friendbecame a teacher at DHSand seeing him at school. “I didn’t know he was

becoming a teacher, and Iran into him in the hall-way and called him by hisfirst name,” Bedwell said.“He pulled me aside andsaid, ‘That’s Mr. Smith toyou.’”Some of that freedom

came with the ability toleave for lunch and thestudents could go get abite to eat on Main Streetor go home for an hourbefore returning to class.The smaller number of

students and seeingeveryone every day itmade it easier to get toknow everyone and befriends with everyone.“The thing I remember

is the closeness of the stu-dents within each class,and our class was no dif-ferent,” Huffman said.Sports were limited

however, with Dunkirkonly having basketball,baseball, track and cross-country teams.“I wish I had the oppor-

tunity to play football,”Bedwell explained. He was excited to move

to a bigger school with afootball team, but did notget the chance when thecompletion of the build-ing was delayed. He didnot get the chance to playfootball, but that didn’ttake away from his expe-rience.“I enjoyed high school

and had a good time,”Bedwell said.There were not as many

sports or activities, but itmade the ones they didhave that much better.“There were fewer

activities than there arenow,” Huffman said, “butwhen we did have one itdrew a bigger crowd.” Basketball was the

biggest sport at the timeand it wasn’t just the stu-dents who were in atten-dance.“Basketball was king,

and the whole townshowed up, let alone theschool,” Walsh said. Walsh believes DHS was

more than just a school,but also a connection tothe city. That connectionmade for a small-townexperience, a good experi-ence according to Walsh.Dunkirk High School

did not have the biggestenrollment, it did nothave the most sports, butthere is one thing it doeshave even still today,Speedcats.“It really is full of good

memories,” Walsh said.

By JACK RONALDThe Commercial ReviewA love of the blues has led John

Runyon to Redkey and will soon —he hopes — lead to the re-birth ofthe Key Palace.In the meantime, it’s led to the

opening of a new diner.Runyon acquired the former

blues club at a tax sale and hasbeen waiting to clear all the legalhurdles necessary to take posses-sion.He now hopes that will take place

in a matter of days.“I have a huge passion for

music,” said Runyon, who operatesa mowing and snow-plowing busi-ness. Re-opening the Key would fillsome gaps in his seasonal calendar.

While waiting to take possessionof the Key Palace — a formermovie house that was a popularblues venue for several years whenoperated by the late Charlie Noble— Runyon noticed that Small TownPizza, across Indiana 1 from theKey, had closed its doors.He also noticed that Redkey area

residents needed a place to gatherfor their morning coffee.“I came over here for breakfast,”

said Runyon. “And I know a lot ofpeople wanted it back.”But before he and his wife Cares-

sa made the leap into the restau-rant business, Runyon consultedwith his mother, Candy.“I wanted to find out if she

thought I was crazy,” he said. “But

my mother was willing to be crazywith me.”The Key Diner opened its doors at

the former Small Town Pizza loca-tion just days after it was acquired.It’s now serving breakfast — andplenty of hot coffee — from 6 to 11a.m. Monday through Saturday.John and Caressa Runyon are theowners, and Candy Runyon is themanager. The hours may expand inthe future, but plans are still takingshape.Meanwhile, to make sure the

blues vibe that started the venturecontinues, the Key Diner will host aperformance by blues guitaristStacy Mitchhart on Tuesday. Dinnerwill be served from 5 to 6:30 p.m.,and Mitchhart will perform at 7 p.m.

Key Diner opens its doors

The Commercial ReviewSaturday, July 11, 2015 Sports Page 11

Continued from page 12On Sunday, the No. 2-seeded

Federer faces No. 1 NovakDjokovic in a rematch of lastyear’s final. Djokovic won thatone in five sets to keep Federerstuck on seven trophies at the AllEngland Club, tied with PeteSampras and 1880s player WillieRenshaw, and a record 17 GrandSlam trophies overall.Djokovic, who also won Wim-

bledon in 2011 and owns eightmajor titles, advanced by beatingNo. 21 Richard Gasquet 7-6 (2), 6-4, 6-4.Nine of Gasquet’s first 10 win-

ners came via his smooth, one-handed backhand, but thatstroke eventually let him down.At 2-all in the tiebreaker, Gas-quet’s backhand sailed long, andhe wouldn’t take another pointin the set. When he was brokenright away to begin the second,any suspense about who wouldwin dissipated.About the only intrigue con-

cerned Djokovic’s left shoulder,which was massaged by a trainerduring second-set changeovers.“It’ll be fine for the next

match,” Djokovic said.After reaching his fourth Wim-

bledon final in five years,Djokovic called Federer “thegreatest player of all time ongrass courts, and maybe greatestplayer of all time.”Sure looked that way against

No. 3 Murray, who lost to Federerin the 2012 Wimbledon final —the last time Federer won amajor — but beat him a fewweeks later for gold at the Lon-don Olympics.Entering Friday, Federer had

been broken only once duringWimbledon. So it was notewor-thy that Murray won the cointoss, elected to receive and then,a minute into the match,smacked a backhand winner forbreak point.Federer responded with a serv-

ice winner, an ace and anotherservice winner. Murray nevergot another break chance; he gotto deuce on Federer’s serve onlyonce more.“The guy served unbeliev-

able,” Murray said. “That wasthe difference.”Federer’s 20 aces were part of

his 56-winner performance, com-pared with 11 unforced errors.“Definitely one of the best

matches I’ve played in mycareer,” Federer said, addingmoments later: “One of my bestserving days of my career, forsure.”Now that’s saying something.The highlight was the second

set’s 10th game, when Murraytrailed love-40, dealt with twomore break points, and eventual-ly held. There were 20 points inall, lasting so long that both menchanged rackets during thegame, with Federer elicitingboos when he sneaked a sip froma water bottle.Federer and Murray each used

the word “unbelievable” todescribe their terrific exchanges.“It felt like every point was get-

ting finished with a winner,”Murray said.

Continued from page 12When the parade got underway at 11

a.m., the crowd was as much as 10 deepalong the route. Chants of “USA! USA!”were distinctly high-pitched.It was the first-ever ticker-tape parade

in New York for a women’s sports team— a fact not lost on the crowd. A 4thfloor window on a building near theroute was decorated with a homemadesign that reads “Girl Power” with fourAmerican flags.“I’m glad to see girls getting a

parade,” said 9-year-old ChristinahDelesine, who wore a blue soccer shirt.“There should be more.”Robert Sanfiz, who brought his three

children — Julia, 8, Chris, 7 and Tommy,2 — had a similar take.“It’s great for her to see women final-

ly be represented,” Sanfiz said. “It’sgreat for her self-esteem.”Ireland Giaquinto, 13, held a sign

reading, “Thank you for letting medream.”All 23 players from the team — none

of whom are from New York City,though four hail from nearby New Jer-sey — were riding on four of 12 floats.One of the floats was carrying the

World Cup trophy, along Lloyd andMayor Bill de Blasio. Gov. AndrewCuomo was on a separate float.The players could be seen taking self-

ies and shooting photos of the crowd. Asthe parade started, goalkeeper HopeSolo tweeted: “We couldn’t be moreexcited be here!” with a photo of herselfand five teammates.The southern end of Broadway is the

traditional spot for New York City forthe parades where workers in tall offi-cer buildings once tossed ticker tape —strips of paper with stock price infor-mation — onto celebrants below. Thetape has been replaced by shreddedpaper.The New York Yankees have gotten

parades when they’ve won the WorldSeries, and the New York Giants havebeen celebrated when they’ve won theSuper Bowl, most recently in 2012.Among the famous people honored:Theodore Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy,Dwight Eisenhower, Gen. DouglasMacArthur and Albert Einstein.Even though the women’s soccer

team is a national team instead of local,the push to honor the players with aparade had been fervent.

returned to KentuckySpeedway on Friday, can-celing qualifying for theSprint Cup and Xfinityseries races.With the starting grids

set on practice speeds,Kyle Larson will be on thepole beside Brad Keselows-ki for tonight’s 400-mileCup race at the 1.5-miletrack. It’s the second career

pole for Larson, who hadthe fastest practice speedof 182.537 mph earlier inthe day.Though Keselowski is

happy with his Ford inboth series, he was disap-pointed at not getting toshow its strength on thetrack.“I felt like we had a shot

at the pole in both racesand didn’t get to qualify, soI’m a little bummed aboutthat,” said Keselowski, thedefending Cup race cham-pion.J.J. Yeley’s top speed of

174.967 mph in Thursday’sfinal practice earned thepole for Friday night’s 300-mile Xfinity race.

By JONATHAN LEMIREAssociated PressNEW YORK — Fresh off its World Cup

championship, the U.S. women’s soccerteam got a hero’s welcome on Fridaywith a ticker-tape parade in lower Man-hattan mobbed by young girls and otherflag-waving fans, followed by a City Hallceremony where each player was given akey to the city.“All of this for us started when we

were little and we had a dream,” star for-ward Abby Wambach told a crowd of3,500 at City Hall Plaza. “In my opinion,all the women up on this stage believed

in that dream, kept believing in thatdream. “Head coach Jill Ellis called the cele-

bration “mind-blowing.” And midfielderCarli Lloyd, named the World Cup’s mostvaluable player after scoring three goalsin the final, told the crowd, “Well I’m aJersey girl ... but New York City, you guysare awesome.”Parade-goers — many wearing red,

white and blue — started gathering at3:30 a.m. along the Canyon of Heroes, astretch of Broadway where the nation’slargest city has honored its legends.

By HOWARD FENDRICHAP Tennis WriterLONDON — If Roger Fed-

erer was going to allow AndyMurray to gain a foothold inthe Wimbledon semifinals,this seemed as if it might bethe moment.Murray delivered a 129

mph ace to pull out an epicseven-deuce, 15-minute game,saving five set points alongthe way, to get to 5-all in thesecond set. As he struttednear the Centre Court stands,shaking his fist and roaring,spectators loudly saluted theeffort with a standing ova-tion.“I,” Federer would say later,

“was screaming inside.”Was Murray suddenly

making a match of it? Swing-ing the momentum his way?Not against Federer. Not onthis day. Displaying theimpeccable serving he pro-duced all match — indeed, allfortnight — Federer held atlove right away, then brokeMurray in the next game.And that, essentially, wasthat.Federer’s 7-5, 7-5, 6-4 victory

Friday, built by taking 70 of 91points he served and break-ing Murray in the last gameof each set, moved him intohis 10th Wimbledon final.One more win would makeFederer the first man witheight titles at The Champi-onships, as the grass-courttournament first held in 1877is known around these parts.“Doesn’t matter whether

it’s No. 8 or No. 1,” Federersaid, “Wimbledon finals isalways a big occasion.”
