Greenfield, Indiana
Greenfield is a city in and the county seat of Hancock County, Indiana, United States. It lies in Center Township and is part of the Indianapolis metropolitan area. The population was 23,488 at the 2020 census.
Greenfield was a stop along the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railroad that connected Pittsburgh to Chicago and St. Louis.
History.
Hancock County was created on March 1, 1828, and named for John Hancock, the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence. The town of Greenfield was chosen as the county seat on April 11, 1828. The Commissioners announced, "The seat of Justice of Hancock County shall be known and designated by the name and title of Greenfield." The population of the county at that time was 400.
Early settlers built along the two creeks which flow south through Center Township, which includes Greenfield. The first businesses were small gristmills for grinding corn and wheat for settlers.
U.S. Route 40, the National Road, was built through Hancock County around 1835. It was heavily traveled by wagon trains going west and livestock going to Cincinnati. In 1853, the first steam railroad was completed by the Indiana Central Railroad at the south edge of Greenfield. The railroad became part of the Pennsylvania Railroad system and later the Penn-Central. These tracks were removed in the 1980s.
During this time, Greenfield's population continued to grow. Greenfield was incorporated as a city in 1876 with a population of 2,023. The greatest single period of growth began in 1887 when natural gas was discovered in the area. Greenfield was a boomtown for 20 years, with the founding of manufacturing plants and other industries.
A statue of James Whitcomb Riley, which stands in front of the Hancock County Courthouse, was erected in 1918. It was purchased with money donated by school children from all over the United States. Each year, during the Riley Festival in October, the city's school children parade to the statue to place flowers around it.
The Charles Barr House, Greenfield Courthouse Square Historic District, Greenfield Residential Historic District, Lilly Biological Laboratories, Lincoln Park School, and James Whitcomb Riley House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Andrew Dismore
British politician (born 1954)
Andrew Hartley Dismore (born 2 September 1954) is a British Labour politician who was the Member of the London Assembly for Barnet and Camden from 2012 to 2021. He previously was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Hendon from 1997 until 2010.
Early life.
Dismore was born in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, the son of a hotelier. He was educated at Bridlington Grammar School before attending the University of Warwick, where he received a LLB in 1975, and the London School of Economics, where he was awarded his LLM in 1976. He graduated from The College of Law in 1978.
Professional life.
Dismore joined the Labour Party in 1974. After a brief time during his studies when he worked as an education officer with the General, Municipal, Boilermakers and Allied Trade Union, he began his professional career as a partner with Robin Thompson and Partners Solicitors in 1978. He became a partner in the firm Russell Jones & Walker Solicitors in 1995.
He was elected as a councillor for Westbourne on Westminster City Council in 1982, becoming the Labour group leader in 1990. During his time there, he led the criticism of Shirley Porter and the homes for votes scandal.
Member of Parliament.
He was elected to the House of Commons at the 1997 general election for the new seat of Hendon, defeating John Gorst, the sitting Conservative MP for the former constituency of Hendon North, by 6,155 votes. He made his maiden speech on 6 June 1997, in which he criticised the government of John Major for closing the Edgware General Hospital A & E department. He became a member of the Social Security select committee in 1998, and after the 2001 general election its replacement, the Work and Pensions Select Committee, on which he remained until 2005. He was a member of the Standards and Privileges Select Committee from 2001 until 2010 and the Human Rights and Liaison committees from 2005 to 2010 (chairing the Joint Committee on Human Rights).
Dismore asked Tony Blair a parliamentary question about Holocaust memorial and education, and received a written answer on 10 June 1999. This led to the establishment of Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK. He set the 21st century record for a filibuster in the House of Commons by talking for 197 minutes during the debate of the Criminal Law (Amendment) (Protection of Property) Bill.
In the 2010 general election Dismore lost his seat by 106 (0.2%) votes to Conservative candidate and former Hendon ward councillor Matthew Offord. In his losing speech Dismore complained that Offord had used his record of expenses against him.
He was a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Tribal Peoples.
In 2015, Dismore stood once again as the Labour Party candidate for Hendon in the General Election but failed to regain his seat, instead losing by a bigger majority as the Conservatives improved their position overall.
In 2009, "The Daily Telegraph" reported that he had claimed expenses equivalent to 487 journeys between Parliament and his constituency home, although the Commons only sat for 145 days.
It was reported by the BBC in March 2010, that Dismore had annual trips to Cyprus, funded by the Cypriot Parliament. Dismore failed to declare this interest on a number of Parliamentary Questions and Early Day Motions, despite providing this information on the register of members’ interests.
London Assembly.
Following his defeat as MP for Hendon, Andrew Dismore was selected as the Labour Party candidate for the Barnet and Camden constituency in the 2012 London Assembly election, defeating Conservative incumbent Brian Coleman. He was re-elected in 2016 with a reduced majority. Dismore served as Chair of the London Assembly's Fire, Resilience and Emergency Planning Committee.

Will Dismukes
American politician
William Dismukes (born February 12, 1990) is an American politician from the state of Alabama. A Republican, he served in the Alabama House of Representatives, representing the 88th district from 2018 to 2022. In 2023, Dismukes was convicted of theft.
Early life.
Dismukes was born and raised in Prattville, Alabama. He has three sisters. His family moved to a farm near Millbrook, Alabama, when he was ten years old. Dismukes served as a page in the Alabama House of Representatives when he was 16 years old.
Dismukes graduated from Autauga Academy, and enrolled at Enterprise State Community College. He also attended The University of Arkansas at Monticello before he transferred to the University of Montevallo in 2010. He also attended Faulkner University and played college baseball for the Faulkner Eagles. He was considered a prospect to play professional baseball, but suffered a massive stroke at the age of 22, during his senior year, which ended his chances of being selected in the Major League Baseball draft. After graduating from Faulkner in 2013, Dismukes pitched for DOOR Neptunus of Honkbal Hoofdklasse in 2014.
Dismukes interned for Micky Hammon, the majority leader of the Alabama House, before graduating from college.
Political career.
Dismukes ran as a Republican for the Alabama House in the 2018 elections to succeed Republican Paul Beckman, who did not run for re-election, as the representative for the 88th district. Dismukes was elected, and took office in 2019 at 28 years old, making him the youngest member of the state legislature at the time.
Following Martha Roby's decision to not run for re-election to the United States House of Representatives, Dismukes announced in August 2019 that he would run to succeed her as the representative for Alabama congressional district in the 2020 elections. In October 2019, Dismukes ended his congressional campaign, citing the lack of fundraising and splitting his efforts between the campaign and his duties in the Alabama House.
On June 19, 2020, the Alabama Democratic Party called for Dismukes to resign from the legislature, citing his role as Chaplain of the Prattville Dragoons chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans organization, as well as social media posts showing him celebrating the Confederate States of America. On July 27, Dismukes spoke at an event memorializing and commemorating Nathan Bedford Forrest, the first leader of the Ku Klux Klan and a Confederate General. His appearance attracted attention from national media outlets, in part because it coincided with ceremonies honoring recently deceased civil rights leader and U.S. Congressman John Lewis. In both instances, Dismukes refused calls for his resignation.
On August 6, 2020, an arrest warrant was issued for Dismukes in Montgomery County. District Attorney Daryl Bailey said his office received a complaint on May 20 "regarding an alleged theft of a large sum of money from an employee" at a business. The amount exceeded $2,500, per the statute, but "the alleged amount was a lot more than that", added Bailey. He was indicted on charges of theft in June 2021, and pled not guilty. A jury convicted him of theft on April 14, 2023.
Dismukes lost his bid for reelection on May 24, 2022, receiving 38% of the vote.
Personal life.
Dismukes and his ex-wife, Amber, have a son and daughter. He also has a daughter with his wife Carol Dismukes. In addition to his political career, Dismukes operates a floor-covering business.
Dismukes became an ordained minister of the Southern Baptist denomination in 2013, and was serving as a youth minister during his first campaign for office. He was elected as pastor of his Southern Baptist church in 2019. He co-hosted a celebration of the life of KKK founder Nathan Bedford Forrest, and resigned as pastor in July 2020, amid the national and local criticism for his appearance at the Forrest event, following a meeting with local Baptist leaders.

Dromore, County Down
Town and civil parish in County Down, Northern Ireland
Dromore (from Irish , meaning 'large ridge') is a small market town and civil parish in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies within the local government district of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon. It is southwest of Belfast, on the A1 Belfast–Dublin road. The 2011 census recorded a population of 6,395.
The town's centre is Market Square, which has a rare set of stocks. It is in the old linen manufacturing district. Dromore has the remains of a castle and earthworks, although these have modern buildings surrounding them, a large motte and bailey or encampment (known locally as "the Mound"), and an earlier earthwork known as the Priest's Mount on the Maypole Hill.
History.
The name Dromore is an anglicisation of the Irish "Druim Mór" (modern Irish "Droim Mór") meaning "large ridge", with historic anglicisations including Drumore, Drummore and Drummor.
The town features a well-preserved Norman motte and bailey that was constructed by John de Courcy in the early 13th century, shortly after the Norman invasion of Ireland. Known locally as "the Mound", the fort occupies a prominent site to the east of the town centre and has views along the valley of the River Lagan. Dromore remained under Anglo-Norman control until it was captured and destroyed by Edward Bruce during the Irish-Bruce wars of 1315.
It was the seat of the diocese of Dromore, which grew out of an abbey of Canons Regular attributed to Saint Colman in the 6th century. This was united in 1842 to the Diocese of Down and Connor. The diocese was then divided in 1945, with the Diocese of Connor being independent, and the Diocese of Down and Dromore remaining united.
The town and cathedral were wholly destroyed during the Irish Rebellion of 1641, and the present church was built by Bishop Jeremy Taylor in 1661, who is buried there. Also buried in the cathedral is Thomas Percy, another famous bishop of the diocese, who laid out the fine grounds of the palace. A monument to Thomas Percy stands in the Town Park.
Jacobites under command of Richard Hamilton, and rival Williamites fought a battle here on 14 March 1689. The battle took place about a mile out of the town on the Milebush Road and was known as the Break of Dromore. The Jacobites routed the Williamites and they fled in disorder, leaving 400 dead. After this Break of Dromore the Jacobites did not meet any resistance while advancing northwards and occupying Belfast.
Dromore had its own railway station from 1863 to 1956. The Banbridge, Lisburn and Belfast Junction Railway (BLB) through Dromore opened in 1863. Its line was a branch that joined the Ulster Railway main line Knockmore Junction, giving Dromore a direct link to Lisburn and Belfast Great Victoria Street. In 1876 the Ulster Railway became part of the new Great Northern Railway, which took over the BLB company in 1877. In 1953 the railway was nationalised as the GNR Board, which closed the line through Dromore on 29 April 1956.
On 23 July 1920, sectarian motivated riots occurred in Dromore. An estimated crowd of 500 attacked Catholic homes, businesses and the Catholic parochial house. During the rioting, one member of the Orange Order was shot dead, it was determined that the bullet had been fired by the police.
The Troubles.
1976
7 April 1976 – William Herron (64), Elizabeth Herron (58) and their daughter, Noleen Herron (26), all Protestant civilians, were killed during a Provisional Irish Republican Army incendiary bomb attack on their drapery shop on Market Square, Dromore. They lived in the flat above the shop.
1988
6 July 1988 – Terence Delaney (31), a Catholic civilian, was shot dead by the Ulster Freedom Fighters, a cover name used by the Ulster Defence Association, while waiting for a lift to work.
Today.
The Dromore Town Centre Development Plan, published in July 2003, outlined that of the 190 units within Dromore Town Centre, over one quarter were vacant. This is in spite of recent population growth in the town; a result of the proximity to the A1 road and resultant commuting access to Greater Belfast.
The green-field development in recent years has mostly been around the edges of the town, and the doughnut effect has led to these houses being disconnected from the town centre. The population of Dromore tends to travel to nearby Banbridge or Sprucefield to shop, which has caused the high levels of obvious dereliction however more local shops are opening thus the number of people travelling beyond the town to shop is decreasing.
The plan highlights the under use of the River Lagan as a resource in the town, as well as the poorly used public space around Dromore Town Hall in the Market Square. The square's 18th Century layout is protected, however it is identified as a traffic problem, which is exacerbated by poor parking provision and enforcement of parking restrictions. In 2008, some of the buildings in the Market Square were cleared to facilitate the construction of leisure space.
Demography.
2021 census.
On census day (21 March 2021) there were 6,395 people living in Dromore. Of these:

Transport.
Road.
Dromore is well served by the Translink Goldline Express bus service 238, running between Belfast and Newry. Translink Ulsterbus service 38 links the town with Belfast, Banbridge and Lisburn (bypassed by express services). However the 38 can stop at all urban and rural bus stops, adding roughly an extra thirty minutes to the Belfast bound journey.
It is a short drive from Dromore to Belfast (about 20–25 minutes off-peak), Lisburn and Banbridge due to the high-quality A1 road/M1 motorway. Belfast International Airport is about 40 minutes away using the A26 (Moira-Antrim road) while Dublin Airport is around seventy to eighty minutes away using the A1/M1. The town, which has been on the main Belfast to Dublin route for centuries, was bypassed in 1972.
The area is also linked with Lurgan and Ballynahinch by the B2 Lurgan Road and B2 Ballynahinch Road respectively. Surrounding villages, such as Kinallen, Dromara and Donaghcloney, are served by unclassified rural routes.
In 2009 a grade-separated junction featuring an underpass was constructed at the junction of the B2 Banbridge Road, A1 dual-carriageway and the Rowantree Road. It was one of four junctions that were grade separated along the route as part of £30 million of safety improvements. It followed the successful construction of a similar style junction at the B2 Hillsborough Road/A1 junction on the northern end of the town.
Rail.
Dromore was situated on the Banbridge, Lisburn and Belfast Junction Railway, part of the Great Northern Railway, which ran from Knockmore Junction to Banbridge.
Immediately to the west of Dromore Railway Station is the Dromore Viaduct, which once carried trains across the River Lagan. At tall and 7 arches long, the eye-catching viaduct was the most noteworthy piece of engineering on the line.
Having opened on 13 July 1863, Dromore Station, along with the rest of the line via Dromore to Banbridge and Newcastle, was closed under the auspices of the Ulster Transport Authority on 30 April 1956.
Communications.
The dialling code for Dromore, like the rest of Northern Ireland, is 028. Local landline numbers typically appear in the format 028 9269 xxxx. The town's local telephone exchange falls under the Lisburn telephone exchange code, which prior to the Big Number Change in 2000, used area code 01846.

Samuel Perry Dinsmoor (March 8, 1843 – July 21, 1932) was an American teacher and eccentric sculptor from Lucas, Kansas, United States.
Early life.
Dinsmoor was born near Coolville, Ohio. He served in the Civil War for three years in the Union Army, during which he witnessed eighteen major battles, among them the Battle of Gettysburg. After the war, he worked as a schoolteacher in Illinois for five years. He later took up farming and moved to Kansas in 1888. He briefly moved to Nebraska in 1890 only to return to Kansas the following year. He retired in 1905 and began a second career as a sculptor.
Garden of Eden.
Dinsmoor built and moved into a log cabin on a lot that he named the Garden of Eden in Lucas, Kansas. The cabin is a twelve-room house; the logs are made up of limestone quarried near Wilson Lake. Dinsmoor designed his landscape and spent the rest of his life creating the garden, which contains over 200 concrete sculptures. The sculptures and design of the house reflect Dinsmoor's belief in the Populist movement and his religious convictions, it includes a "Labor Crucified" figure that is surrounded by the people who put him on the Cross, a doctor, lawyer, preacher and capitalist.
The final resting place for Dinsmoor and his first wife, Frances A. Barlow Journey, is inside the mausoleum in one corner of the lot. As part of a tour, visitors are allowed to view Dinsmoor in his concrete coffin, which is sealed behind a glass wall. Inside the mausoleum is also a double-exposed photo of a live Dinsmoor viewing his deceased body inside the coffin.
The garden is open to the public and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

Quinten Michael Dormady (born February 19, 1996) is a former American football quarterback. He played college football for Tennessee, Houston, and Central Michigan. He also was on the practice roster of the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL).
Early life and high school.
Dormady was born on February 19, 1996, in West Union, Iowa. He attended, played football, and baseball for Boerne High School in Boerne, Texas, where he played football for his father, Mike.
As a sophomore in 2012, he threw for 3,010 yards and 27 touchdowns and was named an honorable mention All-State. He missed his junior year with a torn labrum.
As a senior in 2014, he threw for 2,893 yards and 32 touchdowns and led the team to an 8–3 record and a playoff berth. He threw for 409 yards in the season opener.
College career.
Tennessee.
Dormady committed to Tennessee in 2014. As a true freshman in 2015 he made his college football debut in the season opener against Bowling Green. He played in six games on the year against Bowling Green, Western Carolina, North Texas, Vanderbilt and in the team's Outback Bowl appearance against Northwestern. He threw his first-career touchdown pass to Preston Williams against Western Carolina. He finished the game going six of eight for 93 yards.
Dormady's role diminished in 2016 in his sophomore year as he only appeared in four games. He made his season debut in the team's win over Virginia Tech in the Battle at Bristol. He threw his season-long 36-yard pass against Alabama when he came in relief in the fourth quarter. He played the most against Tennessee Tech as he came off the bench and finished nine of thirteen for 109 yards.
Entering 2017 Dormady was named the starter. In the first week of the season he and John Kelly Jr. led the Volunteers past Georgia Tech in a 42–41 double-overtime win. He threw for a career-high 221 yards and two interceptions. The following week against FCS opponent Indiana State he again had two touchdown passes. The team would lose to No. 24 Florida 20–26 as Dormady threw for a career-high 259 yards but his three interceptions did not help the team. After beating UMass, he would struggle against Georgia and would be shut down for the season after battling a shoulder injury caused prior to the team's loss to Florida. Following the season Dormady announced that he was going to transfer from the team.
Houston.
In 2018, Dormady transferred to Houston. Due to his injury sustained the previous season he only played in one game for the Cougars. He debuted against Arizona as he threw for eight yards in the team's win. He would be redshirted and transferred after the season.
Central Michigan.
In 2019, Dormady transferred for a second time to Central Michigan. He started in all ten games he played in for the Chippewas. He made his debut against Albany where he threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns. After losing to No. 17 Wisconsin, Dormady missed the next four games with an injury. He threw for multiple touchdowns against New Mexico State in his return from injury, Buffalo, and Northern Illinois. Against Ball State he threw a season-high 365 yards and led a seventeen-point second-half comeback. Against Miami of Ohio he threw for 232 yards and a touchdown in the MAC Championship Game loss. Central Michigan earned a bid in the New Mexico Bowl where they faced San Diego State. In the final game of his career he went eleven of 26 for 164 yards and three interceptions as the team could only score eleven points opposed to the Aztecs' 48.
Professional career.
Montreal Alouettes.
On December 15, 2020, Dormady signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL) but was cut before training camp in 2021. On October 14, 2021, due to injuries he was brought back by the Alouettes and assigned to the practice roster following a try-out with the Green Bay Packers of the National Football League (NFL).
On May 9, 2022, Dormady was released in the first training camp cuts.
Orlando Guardians.
On November 16, 2022, Dormady was assigned to the Orlando Guardians of the XFL. He made his debut in the XFL late in the fourth quarter in reserve for starter Paxton Lynch. He would throw a 51-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Jamiel to score the second, and final, touchdown of the game for the Guardians.
He was released on March 3, 2023, after allegedly giving a rival team plays from the Guardians' playbook. He was reinstated a day later, on March 4, 2023, when the league released a statement saying they would be investigating into the situation. He was subsequently placed on the team's reserve list. After undergoing a third-party investigation, it was found that there was no substantial proof behind the allegations, and Dormady was added back to the active roster. Dormady would later claim that the XFL, despite exonerating Dormady, still deducted a $5,000 fine from his pay for the incident. He made his first career start on March 25, 2023, against the Seattle Sea Dragons after a 0–5 start under Lynch. In the game he completed 24 of 44 passes for 243 yards alongside five rushes for 43 yards. Despite a turnover-free game from Dormady, the Guardians could not break the twenty-point threshold and fell to the Sea Dragons 19–26.
The following week on April 1, 2023, Dormady was once again named the starter as the 0–6 Guardians were set to face the 6–0 DC Defenders. After Jordan Ta'amu led the Defenders to a touchdown on their first possession, Dormady responded with a six-play 45-yard touchdown drive of his own which was capped off by his first rushing touchdown on a one-yard quarterback sneak. Following a punt by DC he once again led a scoring drive, this time hitting KD Cannon for a 41-yard touchdown pass to put the Guardians up 12–8. After two touchdowns from the Defenders, Dormady earned his second rushing touchdown of the game with three seconds left in the first half to make the game closer at 18–22. After trading punts, he led the team to a nine-play 46-yard touchdown drive that ended with a fifteen-yard touchdown catch from tight end Jordan Thomas to go up 25–22 over the undefeated Defenders. After an 86-yard touchdown pass from Ta'amu to Chris Blair, Dormady responded and scored his third rushing touchdown of the game bringing his game total of touchdowns to five. DC scored early in the fourth, but a 44-yard touchdown to Cody Latimer would put the Guardians up 37–36 and a few defensive stops would seal the upset for the winless Orlando team. Dormady finished the game with 328 yards on 27 of 34 attempts and three touchdowns. On the ground he also ran for 22 yards on eight attempts and three touchdowns; ending with six touchdowns in total. The Guardians folded when the XFL and USFL merged to create the United Football League (UFL).
San Antonio Brahmas.
On January 15, 2024, Dormady was selected by the San Antonio Brahmas with the first selection in the Super Draft portion of the 2024 UFL dispersal draft. He signed with the team on February 1. Heading into week four, Dormady was named starting quarterback after starter Chase Garbers was placed on injured reserve. Dormady re-signed with the Brahmas on October 24, 2024.
Memphis Showboats and retirement.
Dormady was traded to the Memphis Showboats in exchange for linebacker Jordan Ferguson on October 24, 2024. He was released on March 8, 2025.
Dormady was active in the United Football Players Association and helped orchestrate a mini-strike against the UFL's quarterback minicamp prior to the 2025 season; he alleged that his involvement in the UFPA's aggressive negotiating stance toward the league, during a period where the two parties were negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement, factored into the league's decision to release him, and that he did not get a substantial chance to prove himself due to the time in training camp that he had been given being compromised by poor weather limiting all the quarterbacks' performances. Dormady stated he would not play professional football again.
Personal life.
Dormady is the son of Mike and Lisa Dormady. His father, Mike, coached his high school football team.

Chris DiMarco
American professional golfer
Christian Dean DiMarco (born August 23, 1968) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour Champions. DiMarco has won eight tournaments as a pro, including three PGA Tour events.
Early years.
Born in Huntington, New York, DiMarco moved to Florida with his family at age seven. He attended Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, where he played for the Patriots golf team and began dating his future wife at the age of 17. DiMarco was raised in a sports-oriented family; both of his older brothers were athletes, and his father played college basketball for St. John's University. DiMarco's nephew Patrick DiMarco is a professional football player.
College career.
DiMarco accepted an athletic scholarship to the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he played for coach Lynn Blevins and coach Buddy Alexander's Gator golf teams from 1987 to 1990. He shot a three-round score of 209 to win the Southeastern Conference (SEC) individual title in 1989, while leading the Gators to an SEC team championship. He also was a seven-time medalist, a first-team All-SEC selection in 1989 and 1990, the SEC Player of the Year in 1990, and an All-American in 1988, 1989 and 1990. DiMarco was inducted into the University of Florida Athletic Hall of Fame as a "Gator Great" in 2002.
Professional career.
DiMarco turned professional in 1990, won the Canadian Tour's Order of Merit as its money leader in 1992, and finished ninth on the second-tier Nike Tour in 1993 to earn his PGA Tour card for 1994. However, he was not always able to maintain his place on the PGA Tour, and he won his first professional tournament on the Nike Tour at the 1997 Nike Ozarks Open. As he moved into his 30s, he continued to improve, capturing his first trophy on the PGA Tour at the 2000 SEI Pennsylvania Classic.
His second PGA Tour victory was the 2001 Buick Challenge, where he sank a birdie on the 18th hole to tie leader David Duval, and then won on the first hole of a sudden death playoff. He won his third PGA Tour event at the 2002 Phoenix Open, which featured an infamous moment—as DiMarco was addressing a pressure putt at TPC Scottsdale's 16th hole, one of the fans yelled "Noonan!" (a reference from the movie "Caddyshack"). DiMarco maintained his concentration and sank the putt, then pointed at the fan and demanded that a tournament official eject him. By 2004, he had finished in the top twenty on the PGA Tour money list for five straight seasons, and had tied for second in the PGA Championship, losing the title to Vijay Singh in a three-way playoff.
In 2005, DiMarco lost a sudden-death playoff with Tiger Woods to finish second in The Masters. The final round pairing of Woods and DiMarco featured a famous chip from Woods which took an incredibly long time to drop into the hole for a birdie on the par three 16th, and stretch his lead to two. The Masters result moved DiMarco into the top ten of the Official World Golf Rankings. DiMarco finished as the runner-up in a major for the third time at the 2006 Open Championship at Hoylake; Tiger Woods beating him by two strokes. DiMarco achieved his four-round score of 70-65-69-68 (272, −16) less than three weeks after the death of his mother.
Arguably, DiMarco enjoyed his most consistent success from 2002 to 2006, when he was ranked in the top ten of the world rankings for 61 weeks, going as high as number six in the world in 2005. DiMarco was also a member of the U.S. national team in the 2003 and 2005 Presidents Cup, and the Ryder Cup competitions in 2004 and 2006. DiMarco sank a putt to beat Stuart Appleby and clinch the 2005 Presidents Cup.
In 2007, he disclosed that he was suffering from a chronic shoulder injury, and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left shoulder later that year. Notwithstanding the injury, DiMarco still finished among the top 25 in six tournaments and earned more than $950,000 in fewer than nine months in 2007.
DiMarco has not played a full PGA Tour schedule since 2012. He is a frequent contributor to "Morning Drive" on Golf Channel.
Personal life.
DiMarco has known his wife Amy (née Curtis) since the seventh grade, when both attended Rock Lake Middle School in Longwood. Later, both were students at Lake Brantley High School, and attended their high school prom together. They have three children—two daughters and a son. His son, Cristian DiMarco, was a member of the University of South Florida golf team, after transferring from Kentucky. Cristian turned professional in 2018.
DiMarco hosts his own annual charity golf tournament at his local course, Heathrow Country Club in Heathrow, Florida. The "Norma DiMarco Tee Up For Life Golf Tournament" is named in honor of his mother. It raises funds for R.O.C.K (Reaching Out to Cancer Kids), and features celebrities and amateurs. As part of his personal participation in the event, DiMarco plays the 12th hole with every foursome in the tournament.

Dizzy Dismukes
William "Dizzy" Dismukes (March 15, 1890 – June 30, 1961) was an American pitcher and manager in Negro league baseball and during the pre-Negro league years. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama, where his father Isaac Lee Dismukes was a deacon in a Baptist church, and his mother Sallie taught Sunday School. He knew from the time he was a youth that baseball was his first love, and he dropped out of school to follow his dream of becoming a baseball player.
Career.
Dismukes was a right-handed submariner, who is considered by many historians to be one of the best pitchers in the Negro leagues.
Born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, he began his baseball career at age 17.
Among his achievements as a pitcher, he defeated the then-major league champion Pittsburgh Pirates 2–1, in an exhibition game in 1911.
While a player, he periodically wrote about baseball for such black newspapers as the "Pittsburgh Courier", beginning in the 1920s.
Among the teams he played for were the Brooklyn (NY) Royal Giants, Indianapolis ABCs and the St. Louis Stars.
During his managing years, Dismukes became known for his wonderful memory during his playing and managing, and became known as a strategist. He is credited with teaching Webster McDonald and Carl Mays the tricks of submarine-style pitching.
He spent a number of years with the Kansas City Monarchs, in such roles as traveling secretary and business manager. Later in his career, after major league baseball was integrated, he was a scout for the Chicago Cubs and then the New York Yankees.
He joined the Yankees as a scout in 1953, having resigned his position as secretary of the Kansas City Monarchs.
He died in 1961, at age 71, at the home of his sister in Campbell, Ohio; the cause of death was hardening of the arteries.
At age 62, Dismukes received votes listing him on the 1952 "Pittsburgh Courier" player-voted poll of the Negro leagues' best players ever.

Russell Dismont
Russell Dismont (27 June 1913 – 7 October 2005) was from a respected black Bermudian family of the time. Despite racial discrimination typical of that period, his father Albert Hilgrove Dismont had become a successful businessman and was the first black man to own a property and business in the totally white-owned city of Hamilton, Bermuda's capital. In 1988, his other son Cecil became the first black Mayor of the city. In 2003, the road 'Dismont Drive' was named in his honour, in recognition of his service and the family's contribution to Bermuda.
Russell began his education at the Berkeley Preparatory School and the Excelsior Secondary School in his native Bermuda. He developed an early interest in literature, music, and art which he later pursued in the United States at the New York School of Art. A keen sportsman, he was a well-known tennis player and cricketer for St Georges Cricket Club (Bermuda), which he helped form. While studying law at the London School of Economics in England, he played for the University of London and once with Sir Garfield Sobers. During this period, he often socialised and talked politics with actors Earl Cameron and Sidney Poitier and the founding father of the Kenyan nation, Jomo Kenyatta.
Upon his return to Bermuda, he won many local tennis championships. Despite this, because of being "coloured", he was permitted to play at the island's tennis clubs only twice a year. Ignoring this rule, on one occasion, he and African-American tennis legend Althea Gibson were ordered off the court. They both faked deafness and continued their game. As a consequence, Mr Dismont was later refused access to the premises completely. In the 1950s, he, William E. R. Joell and others founded the All Bermuda Tennis Club for all people, irrelevant of their skin colour. To continue the interests of the black tennis players, the Somers Isle Lawn Tennis Association was created, of which Mr Dismont was a member.
He began his professional career as an educator and taught at the elementary level at the Central School and later Harrington Sound School. He subsequently became a businessman and operated a shop located in his father's A.H. Dismont Building.
He was becoming increasingly affected and concerned with the racial inequality on the island and was involved in a number of personal and group protests against the social injustices. In 1963, he was elected as one of the first six Members of Colonial Parliament for the newly created Bermudian Progressive Labour Party (PLP). The party was primarily concerned with those issues that affected the "coloured" population and the poor. It called for equitable taxation, the removal of racial discrimination, greater economic parity, the implementation of programmes for healthcare, insurance and pensions. In addition, it called for better housing, improved educational opportunities and electoral reform. During a temporary disenchantment with the Party, he started another – the Bermuda Democratic Party – but later returned and remained a staunch, lifelong supporter of the PLP. On 9 November 1998, the party achieved its ultimate goal and won its first General Election.
His interest in celebrating and preserving the island's culture led him to acquire the magazine Fame (Bermuda). It catered largely to the black community, who had been mostly ignored by other local publications. He remained the publisher and editor for many years.
He has two sons from two of his four marriages: Derek Dismont and Saul Dismont. While at university in Florida, United States, Derek was involved with the Black Panthers. Saul is the nephew of actor Leigh Lawson and Twiggy, and cousin of Crispian Mills, the singer of English rock group Kula Shaker. For a period, Saul was lead singer of the band under its previous name, The Kays. He was a successful club DJ in England (aka DJ Kemosabe) and is now a barrister in Bermuda.

The local newspaper, "The Markdale Standard", was first published in 1880 and continued until 2012.
