Columbia, Maryland, United States - July 26, 2022 —

The Chain Link Fence Manufacturers Institute (CLFMI) is now accepting applications for its 2022-2023 Les Grube Memorial Design Award. This award program recognizes innovative design and installation of chain link fencing materials that highlight the versatility and functionality of today's chain link fencing products. Award winners receive a uniquely designed plaque and cash awards of $2,500 to the designing architect and $1,000 to the installing contractor.

The 2021-22 Les Grube Memorial Design Award was presented to Buster Simpson, LLC, Yakima, WA, for their design and installation of the Wickiup Encampment Project, a shade structure along a public walking trail in San Antonio's Pearsall Park. The first award went to Pritzker Award-winning architect Frank Gehry for his design of the Sign at Santa Monica Place. Over the years, the award has been given to projects as diverse as the “living” façade of an airport facility to the design of a “slam dancing” nightclub in Tijuana.

The fence industry award program was named in honor of CLFMI Past President Les Grube, who launched the award program in 1984 to recognize the industry's connection to innovation and design. The program is jointly funded by the CLFMI and the Les Grube family.

Japan tame North Korea to win Games gold after shootout drama

JAPAN — Hosts Japan won their third straight Asian Games women's football gold on Friday, edging North Korea on penalties after a 2-2 draw in a dramatic final. Yuzuho Shiokoshi scored the decisive penalty as Japan, who reached the final without conceding a goal, won 5-3 in the shootout to claim the title for the fourth time. North Korea changed their goalkeeper in the final minute of extra time but it was not enough to give them their first gold since 2014. The hosts looked in full control when Mami Ueno gave them the lead in the 32nd minute in Shizuoka. But Jong Kum bundled in an equalizer two minutes into the second half that was eventually given after a VAR check, before Jon Ryong Jong put North Korea ahead in the 69th minute. Japan's Hanon Nishio equalized with four minutes left to send the game into extra time. The teams could not be separated and North Korea brought on substitute goalkeeper Chae Un Gyong to help their cause. Instead it was Japan goalkeeper Shu Ohba who was the hero, stopping Jong's penalty in the only miss of the shootout. North Korea were backed by groups of red-clad supporters among the crowd of over 6,000. Japan and North Korea went into the final having each scored 26 goals in the previous rounds. The two teams had also shared the previous six Asian Games titles, winning three each. Japan coach Michihisa Kano won his first title since replacing Greenland-born Nils Nielsen. Nielsen led Japan to the Asian Cup title in Australia in March but was fired 12 days later. North Korea were looking to extend their astonishing recent run of international success in women's football. They have won three world titles at age-group level in the last two years, and North Korean club Naegohyang Women's FC became Asian champions in May after a final tournament played in South Korea. Women's football is one of the strongest international sports for diplomatically isolated and impoverished North Korea, with their national sides regularly competing at the highest levels in Asia and globally.
