November. The governorwants general electionvoters to decide who willserve the final two yearsof Byrd’s term. TheLegislature has begun aspecial session to consid-er a proposal fromManchin setting up a fallvote.

Goodwin ruled out run-ning for the seat Friday.Manchin has said it’shighly likely that he willseek the seat at election,but has yet to announcehis plans.

Byrd was history’slongest-serving memberof Congress when hedied last month at age 92.During Friday’sannouncement, Manchinhanded Goodwin a pock-et-size copy of the U.S.Constitution that Byrdinscribed and gave to thegovernor before his death— the same red-coveredversion that Byrd wouldfamously pull out andwave during floor andstump speeches.

Goodwin worked onManchin’s 2004 cam-paign for governorbefore becoming hischief lawyer. He servedin that post until shortlyafter Manchin began hissecond term in 2009,leaving for his family’slaw firm.

When sworn in nextweek, Goodwin willbecome the youngest sit-ting senator, according tothe Senate historian’soffice. The nextyoungest, Sen. GeorgeLeMieux of Florida, is 41and the average age ofsenators is 66.

“We passed this torchto another generation,”Manchin said. “I havebeen pushing young peo-ple to get involved inpublic service. We havepassed that torch.”

Last year, Goodwinheaded an extensive,Manchin-commissionedreview of the state’s judi-ciary. While generalcounsel, Manchin saidGoodwin was key indrafting mine rescue andsafety measures thatresponded to fatal 2006

accidents at WestVirginia’s Sago andAracoma coal mines.

State Democratic PartyChairman Larry Puccio,who had been Manchin’schief of staff, creditedGoodwin for his role inthat legislation as well assuch other administrationpolicies as the privatizingof the state’s workers’compensation system.

“He’s just a brilliantattorney, and I think he’svery detailed and a disci-plined individual,” saidPuccio, who had alsobeen considered a poten-tial Manchin pick. “Ithink he’s a rising star,and West Virginianswould do well if theyinvolved such individu-als in the process. I thinkso much of him.”

Goodwin was joinedFriday by his wife andson, and an extended fam-ily that includes an unclewho is a federal judge, acousin who is southernWest Virginia’s U.S.attorney, and an aunt whois the state’s secretary forarts and education.

Goodwin also alreadyhas ties to WestVirginia’s Senate delega-tion: His wife, Rochelle,is state director for Sen.Jay Rockefeller, Byrd’sDemocratic colleague.Standing alongsideGoodwin at Friday’sevent, Rockefeller saidhe should not be consid-ered an interim senator.

“He is a United Statessenator. Pure and simple.Robert C. Byrd wouldwant that known,”Rockefeller said.

Rockefeller also pre-dicted that one of

Goodwin’s first Senateacts Tuesday will be toprovide the needed 60thvote to advance long-stalled legislation extend-ing jobless benefits.

“In a positive way, agood way, this is one ofthe shrewdest things thegovernor has done,” saidthe Rev. Dennis Sparks,executive director of theWest Virginia Council ofChurches.

Goodwin also came outagainst a proposals thataim to curb manmadecarbon emissions througha cap-and-trade system.West Virginia is thenation’s second-largestproducer of coal, whichreleases such greenhousegases when burned.

“They simply are notright for West Virginia,”Goodwin said. “I will notsupport any piece of leg-islation that threatens anyWest Virginia job, anyWest Virginia family.”

Both President BarackObama and SenateMajority Leader HarryReid, D-Nev., calledGoodwin a worthy anddedicated public servantin separate statements.The state Chamber ofCommerce, which hadurged Manchin to fill infor Byrd, was also amongthose welcomingFriday’s choice.

“Anybody who knowsCarte likes Carte, enjoysworking with him andfinds him extremelycompetent,” ChamberPresident Steve Robertssaid. “He is somebodywho will represent WestVirginia well inWashington and make usproud.”

The GOP’s top choiceto run for the seat is Rep.Shelley Moore Capito,though she is alreadyseeking a sixth Houseterm. While congratulat-ing Goodwin and offeringhim a “a hand of workingfriendship,” Capito said ina statement Friday that“political ambition wasthe key factor in the selec-tion.” She blasted the han-dling of Byrd’s vacancyand proposed specialelection by Manchin andother Democratic stateofficials.

The likely special elec-tion will put anotherDemocratic Senate seat inplay this year as the partystruggles to retain itsmajority. Democrats areexpected to lose seats inNovember, typical for thepresident’s party in hisfirst midterm elections.

Deathsto hold an open electionNov. 2 instead of a pri-mary.

While the office wouldbe part of the alreadyscheduled general elec-tion, the special primaryis expected to cost $5.9million. A funding mea-sure also on theLegislature’s special ses-sion agenda aims tocover those expenses, butsome lawmakers remain

critical of the potentialprice tag.

The election winnerwould take over for CarteGoodwin, the formergeneral counsel toManchin appointed byhim Friday to fill Byrd’sseat temporarily.Goodwin said he wouldnot run. Manchin hassaid it’s highly likely thathe will. Rep. ShelleyMoore Capito, R-W.Va.,

appears to be the GOP’stop prospect in an elec-tion, but is already run-ning for a sixth U.S.House term.

Byrd, 92, had servedmore than a half-centuryin the U.S. Senate whenhe died last month with alittle more than 30months left in his term.As amended, Friday’sSenate-passed legislationwould require an election

to complete U.S. Senatevacancies whenever atleast two years of the six-year term remains.

The bill goes to theHouse, where delegatesare slated to voteSaturday on their versionof the proposal. Amongother differences, theHouse version wouldskip a party primary ifjust one candidate filesfor its nomination.

OPINIONOPINION Page A4Saturday, July 17, 2010

BY PETER A. BRADFORD

Over the last half century, thegovernment has repeatedly keptinformation secret because itwould be embarrassing.

President Obama wants the fed-eral bureaucracy to reform thisharmful tradition. TheDepartment of Energy websiteproclaims, “From his first day inoffice, President Obama haspushed to make the federal gov-ernment more open and moreaccessible to the American peo-ple. The Department of Energy isproud to be doing our part.”

But DOE’s definition of “doingour part” seems to entail subvert-ing the President’s directive. Theagency is pulling a cloak of secre-cy over complex governmentfinancial transactions alreadylacking in transparency.

The federal government hasoffered taxpayer funded loanguarantees for new nuclear reac-tor construction. These guaran-tees mean that you and I willrepay the lender if the projectdevelopers cannot. The first guar-antee, for $8.3 billion, has beenconditionally offered for twoGeorgia reactors. More guaran-tees are proposed — at a total of$54.5 billion — which wouldamount to more than $500 forevery American family. Some inCongress want unlimited nuclearloan guarantees, which wouldtranslate to unlimited taxpayerexposure.

But will those American fami-lies know the criteria for issuingthese loan guarantees? Not onyour life. They won’t even be toldwhat fee is being charged to com-pensate them for taking on thedefault risk.

According to the DOE, the sizeof the subsidy payment will bedetermined through “a negotia-tion” involving the Office ofManagement and Budget, theDOE and the loan guaranteerecipient. The secret final figurewill be determined by a “consen-sus” of this “partnership.”

That information is “propri-etary” and “will remain confiden-tial.” It will not be made public toavoid a situation where one recip-ient has grounds to complain thatit didn’t get a fair deal comparedto another recipient. ApparentlyDOE would like to be able tocharge nuclear developers a lowfee without any backtalk fromdevelopers of renewable energyor energy efficiency projects thatmight be charged several times asmuch.

Few, if any, new reactors will bebuilt without taxpayer-backedloan guarantees because thefinancial risk is more than privatelenders are willing to take on.

The nuclear industry is advocat-ing for a fee of 1 percent of theguarantee. (For the $8.3 billionfederal guarantee for the Georgiareactors, that would mean a pay-ment of $83 million.) For every$100 that an average Americanfamily is risking, the Treasurywould collect $1.

But what are the chances of adefault? Half of all the reactorsthat receive U.S. construction per-mits were cancelled before com-pletion. More than half of thosecompleted cost at least twice theoriginal estimate. Cost estimatesfor new reactors have tripled inthe last decade; while nuclearpower’s major low carbon com-petitors continue to fall.

Even in the heyday of the now

notorious “credit default swap,”knowledgeable investors wantedno part of insuring against nucleardefault, especially with fees of $1per $100 at risk. No wonder DOE,which has a poor record of man-aging credit support programs,intends to keep the criteria and thefee secret.

But who is really hurt by thissecrecy? First would be the pub-lic, who will not be able to quan-tify the extent to which the gov-ernment has exposed Americanfamilies to this uncompensatedrisk. Second, are the builders ofother forms of power generationand energy efficiency, who willnot be able to prove what nowseems very likely: that DOEintends to charge less for guaran-tees to highly risky nuclear ven-tures than it will charge for loanguarantees to more secure renew-able ventures. Third, are the stateutility regulators, who may beunable to set rates based on actualcosts if loan guarantee recipientscan use DOE’s cloak of secrecy toclaim that they cannot disclosethose costs in a public forum.

Secretary Steven Chu’sOpenness Directive on the DOEweb page concludes, “I encourageyou to review the information onthese pages and share your ideaswith us. I look forward to readingyour thoughts and to incorporat-ing them into our effort movingforward.”

Please take him at his word.(Peter A. Bradford is a former

commissioner of the U.S. NuclearRegulatory Commission and for-mer chair of the New York andMaine utility regulatory commis-sions. He is currently an AdjunctProfessor at the Vermont LawSchool.)

Dear Dr. Brothers:I’m a 42-year-old house-wife. I homeschool mytwo kids, but my owneducation has beenneglected a bit. I nevergot to go to college, butnow I have a chance toget a degree by going atnight. My husband says Ishould be there to carefor our 7- and 9-year-old.He says I can go to col-lege when they do! Iknow we could work itout, but he won’t listen,and says I am being self-ish. He works hard allday, but so do I. I don’twant to give up on this!— D.L.

Dear D.L.: Youdescribe yourself as ahousewife, but it seemsyou are a lot more. Youare a stay-at-home-momand a teacher to your twoyoung children. Thiswould suggest a very sig-nificant level of responsi-bility and a good workethic. Both would indi-cate that you probablyhave what it takes to han-dle a night-school routeto getting your degree.Combined with somehome study instead ofhaving to attend all theclasses in person, yourplan sounds like a rea-sonable one.

So, what’s the prob-lem? Your husbandappears to have an unrea-sonable prejudice againstletting you out of thehouse to pursue a life ofyour own. Often theimpetus for homeschool-ing children comes fromthe man of the house,who wants to maintainsome control over hiswife and children. If yourhusband is a controllingtype, you may realize thatpart of the reason yourchildren aren’t in schoolis so that he can keep youin the home and occupiedwith caregiving. Or, hemay be a very fine indi-vidual who works hardand is simply unwilling totake over domestic dutieswhen he comes home inthe evening because he istired and worn out andjust can’t handle it. Youneed to decide what isdriving your husband’slack of support, and thengo from there. You’resmart; work out a com-promise.

• • •Dear Dr. Brothers:

I’ve been with myboyfriend for about ayear, and we are in loveand plan to get married.But there’s one thingabout him that bothersme: He is always askingeveryone how muchthings cost. I don’t meanonce in a while — he isconstantly curious! Ihave told him it isn’tpolite, but he brushes meoff, saying if they didn’t

want to tell him, theywould say so. Well, Iresent it when he asksme, but he doesn’t seemto care. Why is he sointerested in the price ofthings? — C.F.

Dear C.F.: You willhave to ask him yourselfabout his motivations.But what he tells youmight not be the truth,the whole truth and noth-ing but the truth!Sometimes we aremoved to do things byforces that we don’t real-ly understand. We havesubconscious or hiddenmotivations that wewould quickly deny ifasked about them. Yourboyfriend may think he issimply curious. But thereal reason may be some-thing more: He may havea strong interest inmoney and budgeting sothat he never runs out —perhaps there was somefinancial problem in hisbackground or child-hood. The lack of moneymakes people anxious,and so does the fear ofthe lack of money.

On the other hand, yourboyfriend simply couldbe trying to figure thingsout. He may be planningfor the day when you getmarried and live together,and might be wonderinghow far your money willstretch to buy the thingsyou want and need. Or hemay be trying to assesshow extravagant and/orthrifty his friends — oryou — are when it comesto spending. All thesereasons are legitimateones, but you are correctin thinking that it isn’treally polite to be askingpeople how much variousitems cost. I would keeptrying to impress uponhim the need for sometact.

BY RODNEY M.WALLBROWNEXTENSION AGENT

Fly infestations of cat-tle are a real concern dur-ing the summer months.Typical flying insectsthat can cause problemsinclude stable flies,house flies, horn flies,face flies, mosquitoes,horse flies and deer flies.The two major speciesthat cause the most seri-ous decreases in beefproduction and requirethe most control effortsare the horn fly and facefly. The horn fly alone isestimated to cause $700million in animal lossesto the U.S. beef industry.

Cattle pests, such asflies, cost beef producersin both treatment expens-es and lost production.The discomfort to live-stock and economiceffects of heavy fly popu-lations are easily noticed.Economic losses occurbecause feeding by hornflies, stable flies, horseflies and other blood-sucking flies mechanical-ly transmits several dis-

ease organisms and caus-es irritation and physio-logical changes thatdecrease weight gains.Effective control mea-sures will allow increasesin profitability in beefcattle operations.

The adult horn fly,which is about half thesize of a house fly, haspiercing/sucking mouthparts and feeds on bloodand tissue fluids of cattle.Horn flies spend most oftheir adult life on cattleand feed 20 to 40 times aday. Losses begin to occurwhen there are 200 to 250flies present. If young ani-mals or cows have thismany or more flies, thentreatment will result inincreased weight gains.

The face fly is aboutthe size of a house fly.Face flies are non-bitingand prefer to be on theface and consume thesecretion from the eyesand nostrils. These fliesavoid entering darkplaces, such as a barn,while on the animal.They are present on cattleonly about 10 percent ofthe time and may be

found resting on fenceposts, trees, bushes andother objects the other 90percent of the time.Because they spend solittle time on the animaland do not feed on blood,they are much harder tocontrol than horn flies.They are particularlyimportant because theyserve as mechanical car-riers of the causativeagent of pinkeye in cattle— infectious bovine ker-atoconjunctivitis (IBK)caused by the bacteriumMoraxella bovis — andbecause they damage thecornea of the eye duringfeeding, thus allowing aport of entry for the pink-eye-causing organism.

Cattle can tolerate lowfly populations. Butwhen fly populationsreach 100 to 200 per ani-mal, producers need tobegin a control program.There are several meth-ods of fly control such asinsecticide sprays, dusts,pour-on products, oilers,dust bags, ear tags, orallarvicides in mineralsand blocks and con-trolled release boluses.

All of these methods areeffective and have aplace in the control pro-gram; however, the bestdefense is usually anintegrated fly controlprogram.

When making decisionsabout fly control, realizethat there are many effec-tive programs. Develop aprogram that is both costeffective and convenientfor your operation.

Remember to:• Plan ahead for insecti-

cide and ear tag purchas-es. Fly season alwayscomes, even if delayed bycool weather or rain.

• Consult with your herdveterinarian regardingactive ingredients in prod-ucts and their record ofeffectiveness in your area.

• Always followinstructions, warningsand precautions becausethese products can betoxic to you, your chil-dren, pets and othersworking with themaround the chute.

• Follow label with-drawal times and keeprecords of treatment dates,products and lot numbers.

Parts of W.Va. inmoderate drought

CHARLESTON (AP) — Parts of eastern WestVirginia are experiencing drought conditions.

The U.S. Drought Monitor said about 30 percent ofthe state is abnormally dry, 7 percent of which is in amoderate drought.

Pendleton County is the only county entirely in amoderate drought, which also includes parts of Grant,Hardy, Jefferson, Morgan, Randolph and Tucker,according to the Drought Monitor, a service of theNational Weather Service, U.S. Department ofAgriculture and other agencies.

Shenandoah Junction in Jefferson County hasreceived about 1 inch of rain since June 14, including astreak of 22 consecutive days without measurable rain.

Abnormally dry counties are Berkeley, Greenbrier,Hampshire, Mineral, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontasand Webster.

The drought conditions extend along the easternseaboard. More than one-third of Virginia is in a mod-erate drought and similar conditions exist in most ofNew Jersey and portions of Maryland, centralPennsylvania and North Carolina.

It marks the third drought to hit parts of the statesince 2002.

West Virginia experienced dry conditions duringthe summer of 2007. That’s when Gov. Joe Manchindeclared a drought emergency for 42 counties and thestate asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture forfinancial assistance.

(AP) — Flowers arethe ephemerals of the gar-den. They vanish withouta trace at the end of eachseason, so you wouldhardly think them worthpruning during their briefstay. Yet pruning can helpmake more flowers, makethe plants bushier orincrease the size of indi-vidual flowers.

So grab your handshears and sharpen yourthumbnail for a strollamong the flowers.

START WITH APINCH FOR BUSHINESS

Pinching out the tips ofgrowing stems stops, at

least temporarily, theirgrowth, in so doing coaxinggrowth of side shoots. Theresult: bushier plants. Eventhough plants such as lavat-era, marigold and zinnia arenaturally bushy, pinchingout the tips of their stemsmakes them more so.

Don’t carry pinching toexcess, though, becauseit does delay flowering;pinching is somethingyou want to do mostly atthe beginning of thegrowing season. Andplants with more sideshoots will have more —but smaller — flowers.

A single pinch is usual-

ly sufficient for marigoldsand other naturally bushyflowers. Certain chrysan-themums look best withrepeated pinching. Withsnapdragon and someother spiky flowers, youhave a choice: Do youwant a single large spike,or several smaller ones?

A PINCH MIGHT MAKEBIGGER FLOWERS

Just as pinching the tipsof stems makes bushierplants with more but small-er flowers, limiting thenumber of stems or flowershas the opposite effect.This is how you grow“football” ’mums and “din-

nerplate” dahlias. Create aplant with fewer but largerflowers by pinching offside shoots, pinching offflower buds forming alonga stem, or reducing thenumber of stems sproutingfrom ground level.

Remove a side shoot orlateral flower bud whileeither is still young andsucculent. The best time tolimit the number of stemsgrowing from ground level— New England aster andperennial phlox are twothat put on a better showwith this treatment — wasearlier in the season, just asgrowth was beginning.

Flowers come and go, but do benefit from pruning

HURRICANE, W.Va.(AP) — DavidBradshaw knows howto keep one step aheadof his challengers at theWest Virginia Open.

The Harpers Ferrynative shot a 3-under-par 68 Friday for a one-stroke victory overamateur Tim Fisher atSleepy Hollow GolfClub in Hurricane.

Bradshaw, thedefending champion,earned the winner'scheck of $6,000. His10-under total is thelowest score in relationto par at the Open sinceScott Davis finished 12under at Canaan ValleyResort in 1995.

At age 27, Bradshawjoins Grafton's BradWestfall for the second-most Open wins, behindSam Snead's record 17.

“It's great to be in therecord books,”Bradshaw said. “Butrecords are for sportswriters and not for play-ers. I just go out and domy thing and it just sohappens I've won fiveof these. It's a greatfeeling.”

All five ofBradshaw's wins havebeen by one stroke,including a playoff winover John Ross last yearin Wheeling.

The only timeBradshaw surrenderedthe lead was in 2008,when Charleston'sBarry Evans won afterbirdies on the final fourholes on his homecourse.

“I told a friend ofmine on my way overhere, she said, 'Can youwin this thing by abunch?'” Bradshawsaid. “I'm like, 'Youknow, there's 120 play-ers, someone's going toplay good, which meansI have to play just a lit-tle bit better.' SomehowI keep winning thisthing by one shot. If Icould just win one bylike 10, but it just does-n't happen that way.Maybe next year.”

Fisher started the daytwo shots behindBradshaw and the mar-gin grew to three on theback nine.

Fisher birdied thefinal two holes to moveto 9 under, but it wasn'tenough. Bradshaw fin-ished with eight straightpars.

“Fish made it interest-ing,” Bradshaw said.“He's really good likethat. It seems like everytime I came up on him,he came back. He wasalways nipping at myheels. Luckily we ranout of holes.”

No others came closeto challenging the pair.

Wheeling's JasonMartin and current stateAmateur champJonathan Bartlett tiedfor third at 2 under andCharleston's BarryEvans was at 1 under.

Twelve-time WestVirginia Amateurchamp Pat Carter fin-ished 12 over, whichwas tied for 14th amongamateurs and tied for30th overall. He hasnever won the Open.

Bradshaw had takenthe lead for good aftershooting 7-under 64 onThursday, tying hislowest competitiveround. He entered thefinal round at 7 underand kept the momentum

16-year-old Bernard wins, makes history at Ohio AmWILLOUGHBY, Ohio (AP) — It

may take a while for Michael Bernardto realize what he accomplished on astifling day at Kirtland Country Club.

But his parents knew right away.“My wife said (on the phone), ’It’s

not often that your kids make histo-ry,”’ said Michael’s dad, DougBernard.

Michael Bernard never waveredFriday to capture the Ohio Amateurgolf championship by five strokes,becoming the youngest winner in theevent’s 104 years. That includes aglittering array of past champions,including Arnold Palmer, John Cookand Ben Curtis.

The 16-year-old high school junior-to-be from Huber Heights shot a 71 tofinish at 7-under 277, coolly rollingin an 18-foot par putt on the final holeto seal the deal. The youngest previ-ous winner was legendary amateurFrank Stranahan, who won the first ofhis back-to-back titles in 1941 at theage of 18.

Asked if he had a sense of what hehad just done, the tall kid with thespotty blond beard and the dark glass-es said, “No, not really. I’m sure it’ll

set in after time.”Moments after he accepted the

championship trophy, he and hisfather were headed back to theirhome in suburban Dayton. Michaelsaid he had to catch up on some of hisWayne High School summer reading.

Bill Williamson, who led after eachof the first two rounds, began the daya shot back of Bernard. But the kidnever left him an opening, nevermade a mistake, never cracked.

“If I’d have played great I still don’tknow if I’d have beat him,” saidWilliamson, a 33-year-old lawyerfrom Cincinnati who closed with a75.

On each of the first six holes,Bernard had to hit a clutch putt forpar and did it every time, includingtwo 6-footers and two 5-footers.

“I scrambled very well today,” saidBernard, who does not turn 17 untilOctober. “My goal on the front ninewas to just hit fairways and to thecenter of the greens and then maketwo putts. I did exactly that for thefirst six holes.”

He bogeyed the 7th hole after

pulling his drive left and under a tree,then parred the next two holes. WithWilliamson making a couple ofbogeys, his lead had doubled to twostrokes.

Bernard then had birdies at 10, 12and 15 to end any doubt. At the uphill15th, he drove into the left rough, hita pure 3 wood to the middle of thefairway about 70 yards away, andthen dropped a wedge shot to within 9inches for a tap-in.

“He played very solid,” Williamsonsaid. “It didn’t look like there wereany nerves. He took it one shot andone step at a time and when you addit up he won by a bunch.”

Tied for second were Williamson,Mansfield’s Tom Ballinger (73) andDublin’s Matt Stauch, the latter clos-ing with the lowest round of the tour-nament, a 66. Dublin’s Michael Cresswas fifth, shooting a 74 to finish at283.

An only child, Michael picked upthe game from his father when he was8. It didn’t take long for his dad, asystems engineer at Wright-PattersonAir Force Base, to recognize that hisson had an affinity for golf.

“You could just tell he was prettygood. Every time a professional sawhim play, they always said he can takeit as far as he wants,” Doug Bernardsaid. “When your kid’s at the drivingrange and other people come over tosee him hit shots, you get the ideahe’s better than others.”

In the wake of the historic win, itwas hard to imagine that Michael shotan 83 at the district golf tournamentlast fall and failed to qualify for thestate finals. He said he was deeplydisappointed by his play that day, andused that disappointment to improveover the winter. His father did his partby installing a putting green in thebasement of the family home.

The victory on Friday more thanmade up for the failure last fall.

“Michael will take it all in stride,”his father said. “He’ll be happy thathe was able to use the skills that Godhas given him and that he has refineda little bit and show what he can dotoday. We’ll go up to the U.S. JuniorAmateur (next week) and start again,a stroke at a time.”

Fierce wind makes for brutal day at St. AndrewsST. ANDREWS,

Scotland (AP) — Aroundthe loop at the far end ofSt. Andrews, shots at themercy of a vicious windwere flying in everydirection as RoryMcIlroy, Tiger Woodsand so many others strug-gled to survive in theBritish Open.

Just as daunting wasone thing that didn’tmove — the name ofLouis Oosthuizen atopthe leaderboard.

It stayed there over thefinal 11 hours on a Fridaywhen the mood of theOld Course turned foul.Oosthuizen finished his5-under 67 just as theflags starting whippingand the grandstandscreaked from gusts thattopped 40 mph, forcing around to be halted for thefirst time in 12 years atthe British Open.

“She was naked yester-day,” Tom Watson said,“but she put on her box-ing gloves today and justhit us with all she had.”

The next battle iscatching Oosthuizen(WUHST’-hy-zen).

The 27-year-old SouthAfrican, who had madeonly one cut in his previ-ous eight majors, was at12-under 132 and had afive-shot lead, the largestafter 36 holes in thismajor since BobbyClampett at Royal Troonin 1982.

Equally surprising wasthe guy right behind him— Mark Calcavecchia,who turned 50 a monthago and shot 67 in themorning when playersonly had to cope with alight wind and shortspells of rain.

A pair of Englishmen,Lee Westwood (71) andPaul Casey (69), were at6-under 138.

At least an exasperat-ing day ended with aheartwarming moment.Watson, the 60-year-oldwho came within an 8-foot putt of winning lastyear at Turnberry, playedhis final Open round atSt. Andrews, the onlyScottish links where hedidn’t win the claret jug.

The five-time champi-on leaned over to kiss theSwilcan Bridge, thenposed atop the stone arch

just as Arnold Palmer didin 1995 and JackNicklaus did in 2000 and2005.

And just like Nicklausfive years ago, Watsonfinished with a birdie.His wedge across theValley of Sin stopped aninch from the hole.

“I pulled it just aninch,” Watson said afterhis 75 to finish at 4-over148. The cut will not bemade until Saturday, butit was unlikely to go fur-ther than 2-over par.

Oosthuizen madeseven birdies in his roundof 67, finishing with a15-foot birdie putt.

Far more compellingwere the players trying tomake par as the windraged off St. AndrewsBay.

No one suffered quitelike McIlroy.

One day after hisrecord-tying 63, the 21-year-old from NorthernIreland was blown awayby shots into the roughand putts that he couldnot control in the wind.He wound up with an 80and staggered off thecourse 11 shots out of thelead.

“I think all the guyswere finding it tough thisafternoon, and I just let itget away from me a littlebit,” McIlroy said. “Iactually did well to parthe last three holes, if I’mtotally honest. It couldhave been an 82 or an 83.I’m here for the week-end, so it’s not all bad,but definitely a completecontrast to what it waslike yesterday.”

How tough?Of the last 75 players

who completed theround, none broke par.Thirty players had toreturn Saturday morningto finish the secondround, including BritishAmateur champion JinJeong, who was at 5-under par.

Woods won the lasttwo times at St. Andrewsby a combined 13 shots.The Old Course wasnothing like it was Fridayafternoon, and it was rarefor the world’s No. 1player to feel so satisfiedafter a 73.

He three-putted thefirst two holes as the

wind made lag putts dif-ficult to get within 6 feet.Woods finished with themost dramatic shot ofthis tournament, a driveron the 357-yard 18th holethat climbed the hill androlled within inches ofbanging into the pin. Hiseagle putt caught the leftlip, meaning one morestroke he has to make up.

Woods was at 4-under140.

“I’m eight back, andtoday was a day I couldhave easily shot myselfout of the tournament,especially the start I gotoff to,” Woods said. “ButI put it back togetheragain and pieced togethera pretty good round.”

Phil Mickelson shot a71 to finish at even-par144, and the horn sound-ed to stop play not longafter he finished.

“They were tough untilit got called here, until itgot suspended,”Mickelson said, referringto the conditions. Thenhe added with heavy sar-casm before leaving,“I’m happy for thoseguys. That’s great.”

It was anything butthat.

Some players came offthe course fuming aboutthe one-hour delay, not-ing that conditions didn’timprove. Play wasstopped because of guststhat caused the ball towobble on the green, andat times on the fairway.

“Either it should nothave been stopped at allor they should not haveput us back out,” TimClark said after an 80. “Ifit was unplayable, thenwhy put us back out?”

Oliver Wilson, whoopened with a 68 and islikely to miss the cutafter a 79, said the delaywas only part of the prob-lem. He criticized theRoyal and Ancient fortough pin positions, mak-ing them inaccessiblebecause of the directionof the wind.

“Whoever did thatshould be fired,” he said.“You’ve got the biggestgreens in the world here,and they found the mostdifficult positions.”

John Daly shot a 76and would not stop tospeak to reporters.

McIlroy opened withthree pars, then sat in avan for the next hour. Hewalked back onto thecourse and faced a 7-ironto the green on the fourthhole. He missed it to theleft, then the wind helpedcarry his putt some 30feet by the hole. It waslike that all day.

After failing to birdiethe par-5 fifth, hebogeyed three straightholes, and then watched aputt roll back to his feeton the par-3 11th on hisway to a double bogey.

“I don’t think theyshould have called us offthe golf course,” McIlroysaid. “When we got backout there, the conditionshadn’t changed. Thewind probably got a littlebit worse. It probablywasn’t a smart move.”

Sean O’Hair made arare birdie on the RoadHole 17th and in a hard-fought round of 72 thatput him at 5-under 139.Of the top 11 players onthe leaderboard who fin-ished the round, he wasthe only one who facedthe worst of St. Andrews.

Tom Lehman, the 51-year-old former Openchampion, had a 68 andalso was at 139 alongwith Miguel AngelJimenez, Retief Goosenand U.S. Open championGraeme McDowell, whohad a 68 and wasn’t surewhere that would leavehim.

“I need it to blow,”McDowell said when hefinished. “Tomorrowafternoon, I don’t needLouis Oosthuizen shoot-ing 5-under par again.”

Woods wasn’t com-plaining, for he has beenon the good side of thedraw plenty of timeswhile winning 14 majors.And while Oosthuizenonly had moderate condi-tions, he played smartlyon the back nine by tak-ing less club with thewind at his back to stayout of the bunkers.

“We didn’t get whatLouis got,” Woods said.“That’s just the way itgoes. If you get a goodbreak, you have to capi-talize on it. He certainlydid.”

RHP Volquez starts for Reds on SaturdayCINCINNATI (AP) —

Right-hander EdinsonVolquez was surprisedthat the Cincinnati Redsmade him No. 2 in therotation coming out ofthe All-Star break.

Shows how much theNL Central leadersexpect from their surgi-cally repaired pitcher.

The Reds decided thatVolquez will start thesecond game of theirseries against theColorado Rockies onSaturday, completing hiscomeback from recon-structive elbow surgerylast Aug. 3. The 27-year-old Volquez won a team-high 17 games in 2008,but struggled last seasonwith the bad elbow.

Now, he’s startingover with big expecta-tions.

“It surprised me whenthey told me I’m goingto pitch tomorrowbecause there’s guyswho’ve been here longerthan me,” Volquez said.

When he was healthy,no one on the staff wasbetter. They expect himto be close to that againat some point.

“This is the beginningof the season for him,”manager Dusty Bakersaid. “You’ve got to be alittle more tolerant. It’snot like this guy’sunproven. It’s like a lotof guys who have hadTommy John (surgery)and come back. He’llprobably be better nextyear than he will be thisyear.”

His return gives theReds a surplus of start-ing pitching. RookiesMike Leake and TravisWood have beendependable additions to

a rotation missing right-handers Aaron Harang(sore back) and HomerBailey (inflamed pitch-ing shoulder).

When Harang andBailey are ready tocome off the disabledlist, the Reds will havemore starters than posi-tions for them.

“You can do a lot with’too many,”’ Baker said.“You can do a lot withpitching. The next stepis a coin flip — whichones do you keep orwhich ones do you even-tually move? Right now.we’re not in a positionto talk about movingthem, but eventually

something is going tohave to happen to some-body.”

For now, Volquez’sreturn gives the Reds aboost in what has turnedinto a two-team race.The Reds and thedefending champion St.Louis Cardinals are theonly teams in the NLCentral with winningrecords.

Harang, their openingday starter, went on thedisabled list July 6 witha sore lower back that isstill bothering him.

“He threw the otherday and said he didn’tfeel anything, then theday after he felt a little

stiffness again,” Bakersaid. “He was orderednot to throw for a coupleof days. Now we’regoing on two weeks(he’s been sidelined), sohe’s going to have to getback into pitchingshape.”

The Reds expectedVolquez back sometimein August — the usualrecovery time for hisinjury is a year. He hadno setbacks in his reha-bilitation program,allowing him to get backa month ahead of sched-ule.

Volquez expects to benervous when he startsSaturday againstColorado’s Jorge De LaRosa.

“Probably going to belike the first time ever,”Volquez said. “I feel likeI haven’t pitched in twoyears. I don’t know howI’m going to feel.”

Volquez served a 50-game suspension earlierthis season after testingpositive for a bannedfertility substance. Thesuspension cost himmoney — $133,743 —but no playing time. Hewas allowed to work outat the Reds’ spring train-ing complex inGoodyear, Ariz., andmake rehab appearancesin the minors during thesuspension.

Volquez said fans did-n’t razz him about thesuspension during hisminor league appear-ances.

“I didn’t hear anythingdown there,” he said.“That surprised me, too.You play against differ-ent teams and in differ-ent places, they cheerfor their team. But I did-n’t hear anything.”
