A painting, decorating and clean-up day is setfor Monday, from 1-8 p.m. Al- though the workday will be driven by the PTO, the entire community is wel- come to take part. Helpers can show up at any point throughout the day if they don't think they can put in a full 1-8 p.m. shift., New PTO President CassieWillis said the group' took the job on at the re- quest of Dr. Jennifer Haw- thorne, the new Golson principal. The event will provide participating high school students an oppor- tunity to earn community service points they can use to boost their college scholarship applications. Bulletin boards need to be decorated, yards need to be raked, and some in- terior painting is needed, and those are among the last minute touches that volunteers Will help with, Willis said. Willis said this is the sec- ond PTO project she has participated in as presi- dent of the' Organization; she took on thar role JLuly 15 and is, shepherding through a rehab task that began earlier; the PTO is helping Golson refurbish its swing sets. The organi- zation provided money to sandblast and re-paint the frame of the swing sets, which will soon be outfit- ted with 50 new swings. Those are already on cam- pus and ready to be hung. In addition to the satis- faction that comes with knowing they've helped make the school a bit brighter for Jackson Coun- ty's youngest students, the helpers will get a special thank-you on their day of work. They'll be treated to a hot dog supper at 6 p.m, That event will follow a short PTO meeting at 5:30 See GOLSON, Page 9A MARK SKINNER/FLORIDAN Future Golson Elementary School student Virginia Grace Willis tries out one of the school's new swings Tuesday, as it is held by Cassie Willis, her mom and the new Golson PTO president, her brothers Parker, a current Golson student, and Brantley, a past Golson student, and the school's new principal, Jennifer Hawthorne.

VALERIA ROBERTS The Washington Post bo ImuIcjhinformation... ', rC 2 :" i; *' ' * Too muc~~mr S i . ]l..he director of national intelligence announced | on July 19 that a court had renewed one of the , l government's most controversial surveillance . programs-- the collection of a vast database of so- called metadata from Americans'phone calls. The. phone metadata effort does not appear to be an obvi- ously unconstitutional abuse of civil liberties. Yet at least two things should bother Americans about it. First is that the government is gathering.so much ' phone call information to track what should be a rela- tively small number of targets. Collecting and keeping the country's phone records results in a very powerful surveillance toolthat, if ab used, could give govern-,, ment agents insight into how all sorts of Americans are conducting their lives. .; The government argues that it is very careful; it con- suits with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and meets strict standards, only looking at the informa- tion when investigators have reasonable, documentable suspicion to believe they are on to a terrorist group. But it is often up to the National Security Agency to apply, those standards to itself, with outside review coming- after the agency has accessed the metadata. 1; Second, and related, are the justifications for amass- ing all of that'information. Section 215 of the Patriot Act allows the government to obtain records, such as phone -metadata, as long as they are relevant to a terrorism investigation. Government lawyers argue that detecting patterns of communications those whom suspects call and even associates of those associates has yield- ed information that has contributed to foiling potential terror plots. In order to produce those benefits, they say, they must have, somewhere, the whole universe of this sort of metadata, which communications firms don't: keepthemselves. '" : Bythat logic;, nearly every record anywhere coud be considered relevant. Other huge collectionsofsurveil- lance metadata though ht of communications . content,:which is governed by different standards could exist. If misused, they would also pose a threat -to Americans' privacy., .. ... ,, The House last weekk considered an amendment to a defense funding-bill thaLwould scale back the NSA's wholesale gathering of phone or other metadata. The. amendment didn't pass and rightly s: T'gldking it onto an appropriations bill is hardly the way to hash out complex national security policy. That is not the end of the debate. Earlier this month, Rep. James Sensen- Sbrenner, R-Wis., told intelligence officials that Congress might not renewthe Patt f ct's Seoelon 2t, unfess'- they change their collection procedures. ..-: The focus of any politically realistic reform should t be on ensuring that government Agents use only bits of metadata when they must. One idea is for Congress to require communications companies to store their records separately and force investigators to approach those firms to gain access. If lawmakers did that, they would also have to require companies to develop fast, ways of transferring information to the government, and they sa -theives thosecompaes a,r iT -^* ^ l- .V P.-i^v a "- tl,. can keep users soas Another apjr ac aJ gen -e SLU era^ % P fa3 ^ ^ 'data program. If NS&agents already must articulate good reasons to examine a particular phone number, bringing them to ajudge.forapproval hardly seems out- rageous. From there, the courtmust carefullymornitor the NSA's success'at minimizing Americans' exposure. *' .-'.. .- ..-f i , Contact your representatives Florida Legislature State Rep.

Moments later, a forklift work- er stumbled into the building with flesh hanging off his hands. His legs and face'were burned. Exploding 20-pound canisters of propane began raining down around them during the series of explosions late Monday night. Bright orange flames would grow as high as 200 feet, 'fueled by the exploding canisters that shot through the air like fire- works. Houses nearby shook and residents, awakened to the sound of "boom after boom after' boom." ' No one died, but eight work- ers were injured, including one worker who was hit by a car on a nearby road while fleeing the ex- plosions. Officials said the dam- age could have been significant- ly worse if three 30,000-pound propane storage containers had caught fire'at the plant that re- fills propane tanks for gas grills and otherhome uses. About 50 nearby houses were temporar- ily evacuated, though none was ultimately damaged. If the large tanks had exploded, "it would have wiped us out," said Lake County-Battalion Chief Chris Croughwell, one of thefirst responders to the explosions in the town northwest of Orlando: The cause of the. explosion was under investigation by fed- Firefighters walk through a sea of propane cylinders at the Blue Rhino propane plant Tuesday after a series of explosions rocked the facility Monday night in Tavares.

Wil- liams said it appeared to begin about 100 yards from the load- ing dock in an area where some of the plant's.53,000 20-pound propane canisters are stored on plastic pallets. Tavares Fire Chief Richard Keith said possible causes of the explosion may be either/equip- ment malfunction or human er- ror. Sabotage was not suspected. The plant's two-dozen workers were preparing to go home when the explosions started Monday night,, said Williams, who works the third, shift.

S Gene Williams, plant maintenance worker in reporting what he said an injured forklift operator told him after the propane plant explosions said Tuesday he was surprised to learn the hoses at the plant had to be manually activated. If Blue Rhino reopens the plant, Wolfe said he plans to ask that the hoses be activated automatically by computer. "That way, it's fail- safe," Wolfe said. "We're lucky those tanks didn't explode." Blue Rhino is a subsidiary of Kansas-based national propane provider Ferrellgas. Spokesman Scott Brockelmeyer said Tuesday he didn't have specific informa- tion available about the safety water hoses but added that the company follows industry standards. "It's as sobering a situation as you can possibly imagine," Brockelmeyer said. Ferrellgas paid a '$2,295 fine . in November 2011 following an OSHA inspection that found a component at the end of an air hose used in the consumer tank refurbishing process was not present. Brockelmeyer said the compa- ny corrected the issue and added that "the process is performed in area away from where the tanks are.filled." Four workers were listed in crit- ical conditions at area hospitals. Blackbear sightings on rise in Panhandle NAVARRE -Wildlife officials say the number of black bear sightings is on the rise in the Florida' Panhandle. Since January, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commis- sion has logged 360 calls about bear sightings in a four-county area. That's up from 249 during the same period last year. The increased number of sightings prompted wildlife officials and state Rep. Doug Broxson to schedule a public work- shop to discuss saferV measures forresidents. Broxson told the Pen- sacola News Journal a black bear ran in front of him during a recent bike ride. At last count, there were at least 3,000 black bears living in Florida, according to FWC. - 'Astowns develop. and new developments open up, it's a situation where we've seen across the state people who are moving into wildlife habitats; and now, they're', face to face with the crea- tures that inhabit them," FWC spokesman Stan Kirkland said. So far, FWC has not received reports of injuries or significant property damage among humans from the'bear encounters. ',.. The bears, however, haven't fared quite as well. According to.wildiife officials, four bears have been fatally struck by vehicles this year, includ- ing one along US. 98 in Navarre lastWednesday.

The Miami Herald re- ports 3-year-old Dakota Stiles died July 25 in the pool that a Department, of Children and Families worker had described as "exceptionally unsafe." In, mid-July, tan investi- gator found that' Dakota's parents "appear to be paralyzed in parenting the children." But the chil- dren remained in the Vero Beachhome. - "These conditions, and the parents' flat reaction to the child victim getting out of the home," an in- vestigator wrote, "pose a significant risk of harm" to Dakota. Nevertheless, DCF did nothing to protect Dakota as it continued to inves- tigate his parents. "At this time," a report said, "there does not appearto,be an immediate negative, im- pact on the victim's safetyy" The Herald reports Da- kota became the seventh ' child to die under DCF's watch and the second to die since interim secretary Esther .Jacobo took over from David Wilkins,, who resigned two'weeks ago. Jacobo said she's out- raged by Dakota's death. Another death con- nected to DCF is that of Cherish Perrywinkle, 8. The 'Jacksonville girl was.. raped and strangled by a registered sex offender her mother had befriended, police said. Her family had been investigated by DCF multiple times'in the years leading up to her death. The sex offender, Donald James Smith, was indicted' on June 21 on charges of first-degree murder, sexual battery and kidnapping. He faces the death penalty. 2816 F HWY71 ^- + | MAWMANA-liL |[CI Enjoy Our Fresh Buffet that Includes S.Our Mongolian Grill Sushi Crab Legs (after 3:30pM) *OVER 200'ITEMS!! !

Jduring th&Associate'Degree Nursing Program graduation. Tubers From Page 1A' When the Chipola River gets just above 13 feet, it backs into the creek,, stop- ping the normal current that would have allowed the tubers to continue through the creek into the river downstream. In- stead, theywere left to idle in a still pool that the cir- cumstance created. . ' The party included 10 people, but the,10th in- dividual disembarked from the creek shortly after 'the group went in. Realizing that they'd failed to drive a vehicle down to Magnolia Landing, where they planned, to termi- nate their creek and river trip, he got out of the wa- ter and drove one to the landing. He waited forhis friends six hours, then "called for help. They had been .due at the landing roughly 3.5 hours after theywent in.' A team from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office went in aboard a motor- ized boat;, found them, and brought them out in two batches around 6:30 'p.m. ' Major Donnie Branch of the Jackson County, Sheriff's Office said the tubers did the right thing in that they stayed put, rather than trying towalk out through the-shallower waters of the swamp sur- rounding the creek; some, others who found. thern- selves in the same pre- dicameInt in the past tried' ' to walkdiut. They got lost, exhausted, and mosquito- bitten and had to be found and rescued. But they did the wrong thing by entering the wa- ter in the first place, he. said. One ofthetubers, Andrea Jeannot, said that no one in her party saw any signs warning that the launch was closed because of high water, although she acknowledged that some yellow caution tape, was ,up. Not' interpreting that as a warningtotubers, she saidi/they scooted under the tape and went in. She said that three members of her party had tubed the route many times in past summers and had nevei; p ,countered the, di- lemma they would face on this trip. They'd planned to rent tubes from a local provider, but bought some in towni instead when they arrived at the rental outlet and found it closed. The county, had ,closed. the. launch Saturday and it was still closed on Mon- day, according to Jackson County Recreation Direc- tor Chuck Hatcher. Know- ing that people sometimes tear the' tape and remove the signs that are put up in times like these, he said he checked the launch site Monday and' found the tape torn. He tied it at the bieak, but didn't say whether the sign was still Up and visible. Hatcher' said he is exploriting. ideas for a more sturdy closure device, 'perhaps a chain linkfence, and more prom- inent and sturdy signs that: might be more difficult to remove; The ones used now are similar, to' tem -' porary political signs. He urges everyone to heed the tape and sign. "Going in when that tape is up is like going into the Gulf with double red flags," he said. "We'll try to get better at this, but people need to leave the signs and the tape alone and they need to take. the warning. They. don't want to be in this situation." As for the status of the launch, it was. still closed as of Tuesday and proba- bly won't be opened again until Friday or later; the river is falling, but not low enough to allow the cur- rent to flow normally. It crested at. roughly 17.4 feet but had fallen to 16 ;feet on Monday, and was at, 14.6 feet mid-morning on Tuesday. It was expected to reach 13 feet sometime Thursday or early Friday., Despite her Iexperience.. Monday, Jeannot said she will be'back' for another go at the river and thinks that most or all of the others will be game for a return trip as well. All '10 are college students, some from FSU and some from FAMU. She said no one suffered any injuries in the mis- 'adventure, although she commented that her back was sore Tuesday because she swam a good distance, trying' to reach the river, after the current stalled." ,After that failed, she turned back and rejoined her parry. "It was' one (heck of an) i adventure,". she said.

The diamond show was staged on the ground floor of a hotel that thieves had targeted before and which, in fact, had featured in Alfred Hitchcock's high-karat classic "To Catch a Thief." The guards were few and unarmed, and nobody thought to tell the police about the tens of millions worth of gems on display formore than a month. As more details emerged Tuesday, questions grew about how the collection was so vulnerable, and how a single thief with a handgun could make off with one of the biggest hauls in history- a total of $136 million in jewels - without firing a shot. It was the second time .in a week that unarmed guards were overwhelmed by jewel thieves. At a Swiss prison near the French border, a member of the notorious "Pifik Panther" gang escaped after accom- plices rammed-a gate and overpowered unarmed guards with bursts from Kalashnikovs. Private security guards are generally prohibited from carrying weapons in France asnd Switzerland - that's reserved for po- lice but special autho- rizations can be granted when high-value assets are at stake. "The public carrying of weapons -even by secu- rity guards and police offi- cers is much less visible throughout Europe than it is in parts of North Amer- heists during the Cannes Film Festival. "For security in a ho- tel that was housing such a collection, it's more a question that can be asked of the victim and its in- surer than of police ser- vices," said Cmdr. Bernard Mascarelli, head of the judicial police in nearby Nice, whose Bureau for the Repression of Banditry is leading the investigation. The owner of the col- lection, Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev, has said little about the theft, but said in a statement Tuesday that the company was working with police and insurers. Police outside the Carlton hotel, in Cannes, southern France, the scene of a daylight raid, Sunday, July 28. A staggering 40 million euro ($53 million) worth of jewels and diamonds were stolen Sunday from the Carlton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes, ica," said Keith Krause, program director of the Geneva-based Small Arms Survey, a nonprofit that monitors global views of weapons. "Given that civilian pos- session of weapons is much less available, they're unlikely to have weapons because they're unlikely to be facing people with weapons." Zakaria Rami, a union representative at- the Carl- ton Intercontinental Hotel in Cannes who has worked there for 16 years, said show organizers didn't for- mally advise police of the show. Only a few guards hired by the jeweler pro- vided security in a hotel showroom site where the robber struck on Sunday. "If police knew there was $100 million in jewelry, I think they would have put a patrol car out there," he said. MThe show was far from inconspicuous: One-story tall, bright pink banners covered the front facade of the Carlton, one of the most famous hotels on La Croisente Cannes' best-known seaside promenade. . Rami wasn't at the Carl-' ton in 1994 when a gun- man opened fire at the hotel, injuring a guard before making off with $45 million in jewels. That robbery prpmpted the city tW sugpeBdi-thegegi shows that draw jewelers to the French Riviera each summer, hoping to catch the eye of travelers with money to bum. The ban expired years ago, and the 'shows resumed. The jewels on display routinely catch some un- wanted attention.

""It will '.always, be the '04 Masters and showing off my Olympic jumping ability," he cracked of his. celebratory hop, which will never be mistaken for Michael Jordan leaving the launch pad. But there's also no ques- tion in his mind Of what he thinks is his most sig- nificant victory.. "For me, personally, (winning) the British Open is the greatest ac- complishment I could ever get in my.career," he said .Tuesday, nine' days after capturing the claret jug at Muirfield with a stir- ring final-round flourish. After, 'a week off, pre- paring on Monday for next weels P.GA Cham- pionship and now trying to focus on this week's Bridgestone Invitation- al, Mickelson remains stunned that he actually won an event he thought would always be out of his' gasp. He still isn't convinced he actually did it.. "I'm looking forward to in the coming years looking back and re- membering 'Muirfield, remembering the '13 Open and remembering all the things- that hap- pened 'on that back nine," he said during prepara-, fions for the.Bridgestone Invitational. Mickelson always felt an', affinity for Augusta National and the Masters, where he won in 2004, '06 and '10. He erased all the speculation of whether he would ever win a major in .2004, when he rolled in the clinching birdie putt on the 18th and "leaped," his, spikes barely leaving the ground. "I always knew that I was going to win the' Mas- ters because I had played well there for,, so many years," he said. He: also believed he could win a PGA Champi- onship, which he crossed off his list in ,2005 at Balthsrol. Sure; there was the lin- gering heartache of con- tinually being a brides- maid at the U.S. Open - a record six times. But at least he was a threat to win it many years. The British Open,'how- ever, was never his cup of Earl Grey. He floundered in the wind and sideways rain, struggled in the heather and high weeds, fell apart while others made late charges, He was seldom even near the leaderboard;. , But that all changed at Muirfield. He's still pinch- ing himself. "It was so difficult for me to ilay my best golf in the. British Open under those .conditions than any other tournament he said. "To Win that is the greatest ac- complishinent for me in my career."' Now he's tryingto focus on what's next, instead of, what just' happened.

"The community treats us .well. We love it up here, the weathers good. You can't worry about the media and the hoopla and all of that stuff. You just have to do your job." But part of that task last year was addressing the seemingly non-stop ques- tions about Tebow and the "circus" label with which some branded the team. "It wasn't our faults., It Was you guys," Harris said; with a laugh. "He's a good' guy and he has a huge fol- lowing, so you can't be mad, about that. You just have.to deal with it." . .For the Jets, that's "not their, problem anymore.

':' The NFL's most popular backup quarterback's time in Cortland, however, was a successor the city.

Visitors Hotel occuipan'cy in- creased from 67.9 percent to 70.1, arid revenues were up about $300,000 last Au-' gust from August 2010.. Manish Patel, ',general' manager of. the Days Inn in McGraw, located 2 miles from the campus, said oc- cupancy at his hotel was still solid in the first week of camp but acknowledged a slight, drop from a year ago. "With Tebow not being here, therelare not as many people here or around so far. At least not yet," Patel said. "Tebow.was certainly a big attraction. I'm sure many people who came to see the ]ets last year also came to see Tebow. I think compared to last year, if he Were still here, 'there would probably be more families also here., The numbers will probably more like (2010)." The first 'day of practice 18, pe on st p- tr? le th is summers, but far from the massive crowds shown on ESPN a year ago, when the network camped out for, nearly a week 'and had live broadcasts from "practice. Also 'according to the study, 63 percent of the more than 35,600 fans who attended the 11 open practices had never before attended training camp." 'The. obvious reason most point to? Tebow Was in town.. , In fact, a, mile away on Main Street in downtown 'Cortland, a full' window .,display at Bernard's Cus- tom Logo and Trophy Shop was dedicated to ,Tebow with a huge picture ofthe quarterback and the words "TEBOWMANIAI" blaring out. There were also ,T- shirts on sale that proudly proclaimed: "'This Is Tebow ,Town: Cortiand, N.Y." "'There was definitely a lot of talk and excitement last year, ,and it was even more noticeable' with the presence of ESPN," Cort- land Mayor, Brian Tobin said. "Every day, 'yoiud turn it on and hear, 'And, at SUNY Cortland, New York Jets training camp.'

Panthers want to build around Newton TheAss9clated.Press SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Panthers general man-' ager Dave Gettleman said quarterback Cam Newton is a player he can build the franchise around., BitGettle- man is quick,' to add "'but' now it's time to win." .'In Gettle- Newton mans view, N Newton has had the best first two' seasons of any QB in NFL history, but said that gets lost on people "because of the elephant in the room, which is his 13-19 record" as a starter. In two seasons Newton has throWn for 7,920 yards and 40 touchdowns with 29 interceptions. He's also run for 1,447 yards and 22 TDs. - He was named AP Of- fensive Rookie o1 the Year in2011, l Newton's -contract runs through the 2014 season and Carolina has an option to pick up another year in 2015.

"Technically you have rights to him for sixyears," Gettleman said. "... I'm a big believer in letting na- ture take its course. Things will happen naturally." Newton has .taken a good bit of criticism for his leadership ability during his first two seasons, but. Gettlerman doesn't seem concerned about that. ' He believes Newton will mature into an outstand- ming quarterback and team. leader. "It will take time," Get- tfleman'said."I'Tm new and I've made some mistakes, too. I've had days' here whire I wanted to punch' myself. (But) he is bright. He works his fanny. off. There's no reason that he can't -continue to ascend and I think he will." ' On the field, Gettleman said he couldn't be more impressed with Newton, who has dropped about 12 pounds in preparation for this season. SNewton had a rough day on Tuesday, throwing a pair of interceptions dur- ing team drills but other., wise has been sharp since practice began. Coach Ron Rivera said .Newton was late on one throw to, the sidelines that was. intercepted and didn't make the right read quick enough on another downfield pass resulting in pick "Those are things we need to get corrected," Ri- vera said.

S S Ill[ ~lI I I 110B WEDNESDAY, JULY31,2013 Swimming U.S. dominates at world championships The As'o,:,ated Pre4s- BARCELO Spain - Missy F tt e AmericanT TT: ". Then Katie Ledecky ly fired em u p. ..' .' . By the en :of the bright, theU.S. team was awash in medals at the world swimming champion- ships. Franklin Franklin and Ledecky each won her second. gold medal of the meet, Matt Grevers led a ,.1I2, American claedefinish in the Ledecky backstroke, and there was plenty of rea- sonto celebrate for the red, white and blue on Tesday. "We'vehad an absolutely incredible evening," Frank- linsaid. "I'm so proud of all my teammates." IIn all, the Americans aimed three golds, two silvers and a bronze -* a strong meet for most na- tions, certainly quite a haul in a mere two hours. "A big night for us," said Bob Bowman, head coach ofsthe U.S. means team. Everyone was raving about Ledecky, only 16 but already-well on herway to becoming one of the coun- try's great, distance swim- mers. She obliterated the world record in the 1,500- meter freestyle, which may be a non-Olympic event for the women but did nothing to diminish the magnitude of her accomplishment. After going stroke for stroke with Denmark's Lotte Friis most of the race, with both well un- der world-record pace, Ledecky really -umed it on over the final 200 and beat the mark by more than 6 seconds. Friis also went under the old record, and all it got her was silver. "Itwas motivatingwatch- ing Katie destroy the world record from the ready room," Grevers said. "That really got us psyched." Franklin cruised through Demanding double, easily winning the 100 backstroke before returning about, an hour later to post the second-fastest time in the semifinals of the 200 free. "It's tough, but it's fun," the 18-year-old said. "I'm super happy with my 100 back. It really got me pumped up for the 200 free." Grevers touched ahead of teammate David Plummer in the 100 backstroke, and there were Americans on the podium in all five finals. Conor Dwyer picked up a silver behind France's Yan- nick Agnel in the 200 free, and Jessica Hardy chipped in with a bronze in the 100 breaststroke won by Lithu- ania's Ruta Meilutvte. The only disappoint- ment for the U.S. was Ryan Lochte, who labored to a fourth-place finish in the 200 free. "'It wasn't my night," the three-time Olympian said. "But I have to put it behind me because I still have many races to swim." He hopes to compete in seven events in Barcelona, despite not being able to train as much as usual this year while taking part in his reality television show, "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" "It was kind of a tough swim for him," Bowman said. "He .has obviously not had a season with his characteristic preparation. But he's racing tough. He'll be back tomorrow. He'll be. fine." SPORTS JACKSON COUNTY FLORIDAN www.jcfloridan.com With history in sight, Park keeps cool ST. ANDREWS, Scotland Tnbee Park once felt she could walk down the streets of Seoul as the No.1 player in women's golf without being recognized. That was two months ago. Now she can't even make it through a toll booth. The week before she set out to' make history at St. Andrews, the 25-year-old Park "went home to South Korea to, visit family and friends. She was surprised by the Doug number of people EbrS ,;9on who met her at K ,,-,,--f- the airport, and who looked her way when she was out in public dressed in regular clothes. ' "I was driving by the toll gate and some lady was giving me a toll . ticket and she was like, 'Oh, are you Inbee Park?' And she was stopping my car," Park said. "So there was a lot of episodes there.". It helps to be on the verge of do- ing something no other golfer in this Royal & Ancient game has ever achieved. Slam or not, Park has a shot at, something grand. On an Old Course that even in sunshine is dripping with history, she goes after an unprecedented fourth straight major this year at the Women's British Open. Park is the heavy favorite at St. Andrews, much like Tiger Woods when he won on the Old Course in 2000 to complete the career Grand Slam. The gray old town doesn't have the same energy level as when a claret jug is on offer, though Park's name is part of every conversa- tion. Woods (2000-01) and Mickey Wright (1961-62) are the only players to have won four straight i" ii& 's n-v. 4 I .v" ~ l , + .. . .. .- , ! <' :'* "" S i-... '-. -. ....* *. C i Inbee Park will try to become the first women's golfer to win four straight majors in one year this week at the Women's British Open. professional majors, though never in the same calendar year. The debate is whether to call it a Grand Slam if Park were to win. The LPGA Tour added a fifth major this year, the Evian Championship in France. The modern version of a Grand Slam is about four majors. The original version of the Grand Slam is about winning.them all. It's a nice problem to have, and it doesn't need any definition except to note that it has never been done. What's amazing is how quickly Park reached this point. Turn back.the calendar two months, and Park already was satis- fied with her season. She won the first LPGA Tour major of the year at Kraft Nabisco Championship, which helped her to regain her spot at No. 1 in the world ranking. But the dominant player of her sport? She sure didn't look that way, especially if anyone happened to be watching a stretch of holes at the Bahamas Classic. On a 145-yard hole, her tee shot was 10 yards short and 20 yards wide of the green. On the next hole, a longer par 3 over a pond and into the breeze, Park fanned a 4-iron so badly that it landed in the middle of the lake. She missed the cut. She didn't break par in any .round of her next tournament and finished middle of the pack. Since then? Park looks to be somewhere be- tween unstoppable and unbeatable. She won the LPGA Champion- ship in a playoff over Catriona Matthew, and then became made it three straight majors by making the toughest test in golf look like a breeze in her U.S. Women's Open victory at Sebonack Golf Club.
