Good deeds done daily Police chief organizes teens for local projects

CHADWICK – Somewhere between Mount Carroll and Milledgeville on state Route 40 is a tiny town that seemingly sprouts from the earth below. For the people who live here, home is a little slice of heaven.

“I grew up here,” said Police Chief Ryan Lambert, 37. His chest didn’t puff out when he said that, but you could see him glow with pride.

Born in Morrison, Lambert was raised in Chadwick. He attended

When he was in junior high, the Milledgeville and Chadwick schools merged.

A 1995 Milledgeville High graduate, Lambert finished a bachelor’s degree at Western Illinois University in 2000. He was a probation officer for 7 years, and a sheriff’s

deputy in a county near Chicago after that.

When the police chief’s spot opened in Chadwick, Lambert couldn’t pass on it. He already had been a part-time officer in town, and spent much of his time here.

UNITED WAY CONTINUED ON A4

ROCK FALLS – Shannon Davis is a dog lover first and a dog trainer second.

Because of her love for dogs, Davis has created Southtown K9, a dog training and aquatic center.

Saturday was the grand opening for the facility, which sits on an acre of land at 7829 Buell Road.

The facility is in the backyard of Davis’ home.

Davis, 42, is certified as a dog trainer. She received her certification from Animal Behavior College, which is based in California.

“They have a yearlong course, and you go through hands-on training,” Davis said. “I’m certified, as far as basic training goes.”

Davis said the facility offers basic obedience sessions. Sessions are 30 minutes and cost $15 each. Among other things, dogs are taught to sit, wait and focus.

Basic obedience classes started June 30. People can also spend $20 for their dog to spend 30 minutes in a training pool.

ALL’S FAIR IN LOVE Does your dog need a lot of training? No sweat. The Davis’ young labrador retriever, Lindy Lou, is still learning the tricks of the trade.

Both women refused treatment at the scene, and Schmidt was flown to OSF St. Anthony Hospital.

Burkholder was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

CONTINUED FROM A1

It’s an 18-by-30-foot above-ground pool with water depth ranging from 4 to 4.5 feet. “If a dog has surgery on its leg, or if the dog is just overweight and needs to exercise, they can rent the pool for 30 minutes and swim for exercise,�

Davis said.

Some benefits of having a dog swim, Davis said, are weight loss, exercise to release excess energy, and activity for senior dogs.

A sturdy ramp allows dogs to get in and out of the pool.

Attached to the pool is a 40-foot-long dock dive, where dogs can run and jump into the pool.

The dock dive sits 2 feet above the water. It has sturdy handrails, and one entrance and one exit. In addition, the entrance and exit stairs are gated. “I bought the pool used, and we built the dock,�

Davis said. “We have all this in our backyard.�

The pool and dock are not fenced in, but a fence will be built in late 2015.

Davis lives on a rural property, so dog barking is not a problem, she said.

STERLING – Former employees of the nowclosed Sterling Kmart had a farewell party in January, and now will gather for what promises to be a much more upbeat affair.

A reunion picnic is planned for Aug. 10 at Centennial Park, East 11th Street and Avenue D, in Rock Falls, said Shane Bielema, a 7-year employee of the store that announced its closing to workers on Oct. 13, 2013. “We’re just reuniting and having some fun,�

Bielema said. “It’s for anyone who worked at the Sterling Kmart and their families during the 41 years it was open.�

Festivities will begin at noon until the party breaks up. There will be a bags tournament, and lots of other games for kids and adults.

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Kmart mascot Mr. Bluelight greets former store employees during a farewell party Jan. 18 at Comfort Inn and Suites in Dixon. The Sterling Kmart store closed Jan. 12. Keeping with the promise by employee committee members to have future gettogethers with former Kmart workers, a reunion picnic is planned for Aug. 10 at Centennial Park in Rock Falls.

Everyone attending is asked to bring a dish to pass, their own place settings and drinks.

More than 100 people showed up in nasty winter weather for the farewell party in January at Dixon’s Comfort Inn & Suites.

Bielema created a Facebook page for the Sterling Kmart commu-

nity to share memories, note special occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries, and even give each other a helping hand. “This group is still close, and this page has allowed us to be there for each other during illnesses or any other situation where we can offer support,� Bielema said.

Bags tourney, 50/50 raffle part of junior tackle fundraiser July 26 STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5501

Molly Cardwell of Rock Falls took Chief, her 2-year-old white lab, to one of Davis’ obedience classes. “This will be his third week in the obedience class, and I love it,� she said. “There is only one other dog in the class, so

you usually get one-onone training.�

Once her dog gets through the basic training, Cardwell said, she would like to see Chief experience dock diving. “I at least want him to try it,� she said with a laugh.

POLO – The second Polo Junior Tackle Bags Tourney will begin at noon July 26 at The Just Us Place, 601 N. Union Ave. Teams of two will play in social or competitive classes. Social team winners will receive gift cards. Prizes in the competitive class are $300

for first place, $200 for second, $120 for third, and $80 for fourth.

Registration starts at 11 a.m., or players can call Rudy Rutherford at 815440-4096 to sign up in advance. The cost is $20 per team for social and $40 for competitive.

A 50/50 raffle will be drawn at 3 p.m. The cost is $5 for one, $10 for three, or $20 for seven tickets. Proceeds will go

toward new equipment for Polo Junior Tackle Football.

Tickets are available until July 25 from Polo Chiropractic, 109 S. Franklin Ave., Visible Changes, 111 E. Mason St.; or First State Bank, 211 S. Division Ave., all in Polo; from Palmyra Pines Auto, 600 Palmyra Ave. in Dixon; or from Keith Webb at 815-297-3485 or from Rutherford.

goes hand in hand with that task: Not only does Koch want to make sure her members get the money they need, but she wants to raise their profiles within the community and help them to get whatever they need to fulfill their own missions.

Like everyone else, local charities and social service providers are struggling, in the wake of state and federal budget cuts, to hold on to staff and maintain their programs. They must do more with less and find ways to supplement the loss. Koch wants to help. “One of my goals as executive director is to determine what else can be done to meet our

agencies’ needs, ... so they can focus on what they do best: provide their services.�

So another of Koch’s goals is getting people – especially 20- and 30-somethings – to see the value in becoming United Way contributors and volunteers. Or, as she puts it, “What else can I do to make the public aware, especially the generation below me, why this is so important?�

She sees a major resource in Sauk Valley Community College and hopes to start a United Way student chapter.

Social media will be one of her main tools in reaching that audience, Koch said.

Passionate is a good word for Koch. When you’re talking United Way, she positively vibrates with it.

Another of her goals, then, is to get everyone in the community to see what she sees: the absolute good that her agency, her members, her volunteers, make happen every day. And maybe to recognize and support that good by lending a hand or donating a few dollars. “One single donation is pooled with another, and another, and another,� she said. “The impact is so very large, and I just want people to understand that that’s what this is all about.�

CHICAGO

No arrests yet in Friday’s slaying of 11-year-old girl Stray bullet fired into friend’s home CHICAGO (AP) – The mother of an 11-yearold girl who was killed by a stray bullet fired into her friend’s home during a slumber party didn’t allow the girl or her twin brother to play outside, because she was so afraid of Chicago’s street violence, the girl’s great-grandmother said Sunday.

Lourene Miller said that if her great-granddaughter, Shamiya Adams, was going to hang out with friends, she had to remain indoors. “My granddaughter [the girl’s mother, Shaneetha Goodloe] would cry every time she’d see a child killed on the news [and] Shamiya was never just out,� Miller said.

A police spokeswoman, Janel Sedevic, said Sunday afternoon that nobody has been arrested in Friday’s shooting.

He declined to say if there were any suspects.

Investigators believe the

person who fired the fatal shot was apparently aiming at a rival in a gang dispute, but missed.

The bullet went through an open window of the house, pierced a wall and struck Shamiya in the back of the head.

Shamiya was one of four people killed by guns in Chicago since Friday night, according to the Chicago SunTimes. Thirty-two others were wounded. Miller said her family did all it could to protect the little girl, yet must now make plans to bury her. “It is just terrible out here,� she said. “These young guys out here are shooting, and a lot of times they miss their target, and they always hit somebody innocent.�

Miller said her greatgranddaughter had recently had a friend over for a sleepover, and on Friday night it was the other girl’s turn to host a sleepover. “My granddaughter dropped her off, kissed her on the head and told her she loved her,� she said.

A special thank you from the family of Jim Baker.

Thank you to everyone for the prayers, concerns, visits, and food that we received in March when Jim was diagnosed with cancer, and again during his passing 3 months later. Special thanks to Law-Jones for your love and compassion during our grief. To Pastor Terry for your message, our wonderful Chadwick E. Free Church families for the luncheon, and thank you to the Lutheran Church and Annette for all your help.

Thank you to the staff at CGH, especially the oncology department, Serenity Hospice, friends, family, and coworkers for everything you did and continue to do to help us get through this difficult time. What a wonderful, caring place Chadwick and Carroll County is to live. By Jim’s request, memorials have been sent to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

ELECTION 2014 | ILLINOIS GOVERNOR’S RACE

Quinn, Rauner both key on jobs claims Economist: Governor could argue he was dealt bad hand by Blagojevich CHAMPAIGN (AP) – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican rival Bruce Rauner have both sought to use the state’s jobs situation as a political weapon.

But their claims and the numbers behind them demonstrate that the picture isn’t nearly as clear as either Quinn or Rauner suggests.

Many of those claims center on one set of numbers in particular: How many people are employed in Illinois and what that says about the state’s economy.

Rauner’s campaign has repeatedly said that, under Quinn, Illinois has lost and is losing jobs. “Illinoisans are still suffering after years of Pat Quinn’s high tax poli-

cies, and the state has lost thousands of jobs this year alone,� spokesman Mike Schrimpf said Thursday.

But Quinn’s camp maintains the state has added jobs since Quinn took office in January 2009. “The bottom line, just as a matter of fact, is that there are more people working in Illinois today than there were when the governor took office,�

Quinn campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said.

The numbers say both claims are accurate. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.

While Rauner frequently says Illinois is losing jobs without delving into details, the claim by his

Pat Quinn

Bruce Rauner

spokesman that thousands of jobs have been lost “this year alone� is more specific and, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers, accurate.

The campaign points to the difference between the 5,828,700 Illinois residents who were employed in December and the number of people employed in June. Using BLS figures, the state Department of Employment Security said Thursday that figure was 5,813,200 – leaving a net of about 15,000 jobs lost so far this year. Some

months have included gains, others losses.

But during Quinn’s time in office, starting in January 2009, Illinois has actually added jobs, about 9,600, according to the BLS statistics.

And Quinn took office with the recession hitting hard. In the year before he took office, the number of people working in the state dropped by more than 190,000 people, about 3.2 percent.

The number of people working continued to drop in the following months, bottoming out at 5,584,400 in January of 2010 before starting to climb back up.

Quinn, University of Illinois economist Fred Giertz said, can legitimately argue that he started playing with a bad hand when he took over for impeached Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Matt and Crystle Mariani prepare an evening meal July 1 in their Crystal Lake home. Like a growing number of couples, the Marianis discussed their finances before tying the knot. unspoken, more couples are coming clean about their finances before tying the knot, according to a Experian Consumer Services survey that compared couples married before and after 2008 and the recession. “People are getting the issue that money is the No. 1 issue,� said Dan Blair, a counselor and owner of Blair Counseling and Mediation in Crystal Lake. “They frequently come to get help on that issue, and they don’t just come to counselors. They go to banks and look online.�

Finances have grown as an issue for Blair’s cli-

ents since 2008, he said, adding he typically sees three issues in this area: differing views on wants and needs, how to handle unexpected expenses, and a seeming inability to save money.

The heightened awaren es s a r ou n d f am i ly finances caused by the recession might not be the only reason more recently married couples are talking about money before they get married.

For some of the Marianis’ friends, student loans are causing them to push back some next steps, including getting married or buying a home, they said.

While student loans weren’t as much of an issue for them – Matt works for Centegra Hospital, Woodstock’s concussion and cardiac clinic, and Crystle is a special education teacher at Cary Junior High – the Marianis decided to rent until they felt comfortable and stable enough to take the next step and buy a home.

Now their focus is putting aside enough money to cover property taxes and household expenses because as first-time homeowners they don’t really know what to expect, Matt Mariani said.

BLS data, is correct – a gain of just over 4 percent.

But Quinn includes only private-sector jobs in that count, leaving out government jobs which have actually declined over that period. If government jobs are included, the figure drops to about 228,000.

And either figure works out to no better than about 1 percent growth a year. That lags behind most Midwestern states. “We know that we have to pick up the pace,� said David Roeder, a spokesman for the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. “We are seeing that.�

By starting the clock a year after he took office, the governor also doesn’t include the loss of 219,000 jobs as the growing recession beat up the state’s economy.

28TH ANNUAL SIDEWALK SALE

BY EMILY K. COLEMAN Shaw Media ecoleman@shawmedia.com

CRYSTAL LAKE – Ahead of their October wedding, Matt and Crystle Mariani cut back on date nights and going out with their friends.

The Crystal Lake couple are both planners, and they’re both savers. “It’s easy to ... say, ‘OK, We want to get married; next we want to get a house,’ and now we’re continuing to do that and plan together for one day [when] we’ll want kids, and we’ll want to go on vacation,� Crystle Mariani said, sitting on the couch in the home the two bought and moved into last month.

Arguments about finances early on in a marriage are the top predictor of whether a relationship will end in a divorce, according to a 2012 study by a Kansas State University researcher. “Money is an emotional issue with most of us,� said Jim Issel, a financial consultant with Exemplar Financial Network. “You’re bringing together two people from two totally different backgrounds, and it’s important to talk about it. It’s also important for people entering their second or third marriages.�

Besides helping people plan for their retirements and advising on finances, Issel is Matt Mariani’s stepfather. Issel’s wife, Ann Mariani-Issel, is a vice president with Dorion-Gray Retirement Planning in Crystal Lake.

With both of his parents in the finance sector, Matt Mariani got plenty of advice on money management, though Mariani said most of it was learning through example.

They talked to him about preparing for retirement, saving, budgeting and being conservative with income, Issel said. The next conversation is life insurance.

While much of the Marianis’ financial planning is

“The state was poorly managed by Blagojevich, we have this once-in-alifetime kind of recession,� Giertz said. “The problem is that Illinois has been recovering much more slowly than the rest of the country.

[There are] all kinds of issues that go beyond what a governor can control.�

The governor and his campaign also regularly talk up the number of jobs created on his watch. They usually start counting from January of 2010 – a year after he took office – when the state Department of Employment Security says the recovery started in the state.

Since then, the state economy has added about 250,000 jobs, Quinn and his campaign say.

That figure, again using

EDITORIALS FROM YESTERYEAR | 1889

From our archives: Popcorn stands both popular, profitable Note to readers – Sauk Valley Media reprints editorials and articles from the past as a regular Monday feature. The following items appeared in the Gazette on July 19, 1889.

here are several popcorn stands in Sterling, and all the towns about us seem to have their share of representatives in this branch of business.

The eating of fresh popcorn has become very common and popular.

The Davenport Tribune has been investigating the question from a politico-economical standpoint, and says it is no uncommon thing to see a leading business man, an attorney or physician walking along the street carrying a bag of popcorn and quietly munching away at it.

Parents buy it for their children instead of candy and other sweet meats. It is nutritious and healthful, and when properly prepared is most delicious.

Baseball and popcorn appear to be the popular craze at the present.

It requires but little capital to start a popcorn stand; the profits are immense. A bag of popcorn sells for 5 cents, and it does not cost at the most more than 2 cents, a clear profit of 3 cents per bag, and when a man sells from 50 to 100 bags a day, it amounts to considerably more than any man can possibly make by day’s labor.

WASHINGTON – We Americans are marvelously inventive when it comes to dealing with our piques.

That clever Speaker of the House, Rep. John “The Tan Man� Boehner, R-Ohio, figured that by suing the president, he could: 1) Anger the White House; 2) Appeal to tea partyers; 3) Look as if he is actually doing something.

A lawsuit would be historic; neither the House nor the Senate has ever sued the president over a policy difference. Strangely, this could give the courts more power, which most conservatives don’t want.

Obama is facing lawsuits because he says he’s so tired of Congress doing nothing that he is going to use his power to promulgate executive actions, long a tool of frustrated White House occupants.

(Obama has issued 182; George W. Bush issued 291; Bill Clinton issued 364; George H.W. Bush signed 166; Ronald Reagan, 381.)

Thus, while dozens of measures get tabled, the House is busily holding hearings about suing Obama. Ironically, Republicans want to sue Obama for delaying parts of Obamacare, which they fought tooth and nail.

(Did we mention that this is the most “do-nothing�

Congress in history? Did we note that even though it hasn’t done anything about anything, including immigration reform and the bankrupt highway trust fund that’s supposed to fix winter potholes and crumbling bridges, Congress is about to take a vacation for much of the rest of the year? Can we sue Congress for taking our money under false pretenses?)

CONSTITUTIONAL lawyers say Boehner’s ploy is somewhat sophomoric and that no court would take it seriously. Boehner doesn’t care; it gives him a chance to go before TV cameras and spout off furiously about the president, although everybody knows Capitol Hill elevator operators have more clout than the speaker.

President Obama looked Boehner in the eye (well, stared down Constitution Avenue – they never actually meet these days) and said: “Bring it on.�

And how about that billionaire venture capitalist Tim Draper in California, who says the state is so ungovernable that he is spending buckets of money to get an initiative on the ballot so Californians may vote on splitting into six states?

“Where men cannot freely convey their thoughts to one another, no other liberty is secure.�

Another innovative way Americans are voicing antipathy is by blocking buses carrying children who have been gathered up after illegally crossing the southern U.S. border to try to find relatives and escape drug cartels, gang violence, prostitution and early death in such countries as Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.

Thus, terrified children who have traveled a thousand miles or more by themselves are intimidated by adults shouting a welcome of “Go home!� Obama has been very stern here; he is vowing to send them back to the vile neighborhoods from whence they came. In fact, for 5 years in a row, Obama has set record highs for officially deporting undocumented people.

Someone is sure to propose chiseling off “give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free; the wretched refuse of your teeming shore; send these, the homeless, tempest-tost, to me� from the base of the Statue of Liberty.

GAZA STRIP

Scores dead in first major ground battle Thousands of Palestinian civilians flee their neighborhood GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) – The first major ground battle in 2 weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting exacted a steep price Sunday: It killed 65 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers and forced thousands of terrified Palestinian civilians to flee their neighborhood, reportedly used to launch rockets at Israel and now devastated by the fighting.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the offensive would continue “as long as necessary� to end attacks from Gaza on Israeli civilians.

But Hamas seems defiant, international ceasefire efforts are stalled, and international criticism is becoming more vocal as the death toll among Palestinian civilians rises.

U.N. Chief Ban Kimoon called Israel’s latest incursion “atrocious,� and said it must do far more to protect civilians.

In Israel, public opinion will struggle to tolerate rising military losses in an open-ended campaign.

Already, Sunday’s deaths marked the highest number of soldiers killed on a single day since Israel’s war in Lebanon in 2006.

The ferocious battle

in Gaza City’s Shijaiyah neighborhood came on the third day of Israel’s ground offensive, which had been preceded by a 10-day air campaign.

In all, at least 432 Palestinians were killed, and more than 3,000 wounded in the past 2 weeks.

The overall death toll on the Israeli side rose to 20, including 18 soldiers, along with dozens of wounded troops, during that period.

Sunday’s battle began when Israeli troops backed by tanks entered the densely populated Shijaiyah district just after midnight Sun-

day. They were met by a “huge� level of resistance by Hamas fighters who fired anti-tank missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons from houses and buildings, said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an army spokesman.

Residents said they came under intense Israeli tank fire. “The gate of hell has opened, and shrapnel came through the windows,� Shijaiyah resident Jawad Hassanain said by phone. He and his family fled to a nearby building after their house shook from explosions.

AP

Palestinians, who fled their homes from Shajaiyeh neighborhood, arrive Sunday in Gaza City. Hundreds of panicked residents have fled the neighborhood, which they say has come under heavy tank fire from Israeli forces. Some reported seeing dead and wounded in the streets, with ambulances unable to reach the area.

UKRAINE | MALAYSIA AIRLINES PLANE CRASH

Rebels take full control of bodies Distraught Dutch

mother: ‘Send my children home’

Victims loaded onto train cars bound for Torez TOREZ, Ukraine (AP) – Rebels in eastern Ukraine took control Sunday of the bodies recovered from downed Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, and the U.S. and European leaders demanded that Russian President Vladimir Putin make sure rebels give international investigators full access to the crash site. “There’s a stacking up of evidence here, which Russia needs to help account for. We are not drawing the final conclusion here. But there is a lot that points at the need for Russia to be responsible,� U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said on NBC’s “Meet the Press� television show.

The key question of who controlled the collection of evidence at the sprawling crash site in rebelheld territory dominated the day’s rapid-fire developments. International monitors say armed rebels have limited their access to the crash site and Ukrainian officials said armed rebels took the bodies away from their workers by force.

Ukraine and the separatists accuse each other of firing a surface-toair missile Thursday at Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 as it flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur some 33,000 feet above the battlefields of eastern Ukraine. Both deny shooting down the plane. All those onboard the flight – 283 passengers and 15 crew – were killed.

Son and girlfriend were on Flight 17

AP

An armed man looks at charred debris Sunday at the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 near the village of Hrabove in eastern Ukraine. Armed rebels forced emergency workers to hand over all 196 bodies recovered from the Malaysia Airlines crash site and had them loaded Sunday onto refrigerated train cars bound for a rebel-held city, Ukrainian officials and monitors said.

A wave of international outrage over how the bodies of the plane crash victims were being handled came amid fears that the armed rebels who control the crash site could be tampering with the evidence there.

Donetsk rebel leader Alexander Borodai said the bodies recovered from the crash site would remain in refrigerated train cars in the rebelheld town of Torez, 9 miles from the crash site, until the arrival of an international aviation delegation. “The bodies will go nowhere until experts arrive,� Borodai said, speaking in the rebelheld city of Donetsk.

He also said the plane’s black boxes have been recovered and will be handed over to the Inter-

national Civil Aviation Organization.

Borodai said he was expecting a team of 12 Malaysian experts and that he was disappointed at how long they had taken to arrive. He insisted that rebels had not interfered with the crash investigation, despite reports to the contrary by international monitors and journalists at the crash site.

Ukrainian government officials, meanwhile, prepared a disaster crisis center in the government-held city of Kharkiv, expecting to receive the bodies, but those hopes appeared delayed or even dashed Sunday.

Deputy prime minister Volodymyr Groysman said 192 bodies and eight body parts were loaded onto the railway cars.

The leaders of France, Germany and Britain issued a statement demanding that Putin make sure that pro-Russia separatists in Ukraine give full access to investigators at the Malaysian plane crash site or risk the ire of Europe.

French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister David Cameron agreed Sunday to demand that Putin force separatists controlling the site to “finally allow rescuers and investigators to have free and total access to the zone.�

A statement from Hollande’s office said if Russia fails “to immediately take the needed measures, consequence will be drawn� at an EU foreign ministers meeting Tuesday.

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) – A distraught, grieving mother summed up a swelling mood of despair and anguish in the Netherlands on Sunday at faltering efforts to repatriate the bodies of loved ones killed in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, appealing directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin to return the bodies of her son and his girlfriend.

Silene FredrikszHoogzand, whose son, Bryce, and his girlfriend, Daisy Oehlers, were killed when the plane was shot down Thursday over Ukraine, said she was appalled their bodies and those of other victims had been left lying for days. “I am not a politician,� she told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. “But I know for sure that Mr. Putin can do something.�

Earlier, at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport, she made a simple, but heart-rending appeal to the Russian president: “Mr. Putin, send my children home,� she told Sky TV. “Send them home. Please.�

International monitors say armed rebels have limited their access to the crash site, and Ukrainian officials said armed rebels took 192 bodies away from

Before doctors check your vitals, check theirs WASHINGTON (AP) – Americans consider insurance and a good bedside manner in choosing a doctor, but will that doctor provide high-quality care? A new poll shows that people don’t know how to determine that.

Being licensed and likable doesn’t necessarily mean a doctor is up to date on best practices.

But consumers aren’t sure how to uncover much more. Just 22 per-

cent of those questioned are confident they can find information to compare the quality of local doctors, according to the poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Today, 6 in 10 people say they trust doctor recommendations from friends or family, and nearly half value referrals from their regular physician. The poll found far fewer trust quality

information from online patient reviews, health insurers, ratings web sites, the media, even the government. “I usually go on references from somebody else, because it’s hard to track them any other way,� said Kenneth

Fredriksz-Hoogzand’s son and his girlfriend were among the 193 Dutch victims of the crash, making the nation of 17 million the hardest hit by the tragedy. The Boeing 777 was flying from Amsterdam to the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur when it was shot down, killing all 298 passengers and crew.

Grief is turning to anger for the Dutch, as pro-Russian rebels hamper efforts to recover the dead and investigate the cause of the disaster. “No words can describe it,� Fredriksz-Hoogzand told AP. “Bodies are just lying there for 3 days in the hot sun. There are people who have this on their conscience. There are families who can never hold the body of a child or a mother.�

She said she sent Bryce and Daisy on vacation to Bali to get over the grief of Daisy’s mother dying more than 2 months ago. “It’s a tragedy on top of a tragedy,� she said.

Asked Sunday night what delay was acceptable in returning bodies to their families, Prime Minister Mark Rutte replied: “Zero. Nothing is acceptable. All this should be done 2 days ago. But we are working as hard as possible to ensure a quick repatriation.�

Each side has its game plan

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Alan Kulwicki, a NASCAR driver who died in a plane crash in 1993, said, “In every aspect of life, have a game plan, and then do your best to achieve it.”

That definitely applies at the bridge table.

Each side should have a game plan. Declarer’s is to make his contract; the defenders’ is to thwart declarer’s plan.

In this deal, South is in three no-trump and West leads the spade seven. What should each side do?

South might have opened two no-trump.

Despite having only 19 high-card points, all of those aces and kings increase the hand’s value. In the actual auction, South’s two-no-

trump rebid showed 18 or 19 (or a poor 20) points and was in principle game-forcing.

North had a minimum initial response, but his five-card suit was worth an extra point,

and any time you smell a game, bid game.

South has six top tricks: three spades (given the lead), one heart and two clubs. His plan should be to play on diamonds to generate the extra winners that he needs.

So he takes the first trick with his spade jack and leads the diamond king. What should happen next?

West knows that South is strong in spades, and the club holding in dummy means that that suit will not produce enough defensive tricks.

Instead, West must win the first diamond trick and shift to the heart queen. Then the contract should fail.

Yes, if South knew where all 52 cards lay, he could have made the contract after a spade lead. The curious may work it out. © 2014 UFS

HITTING TRAIL ONE LAST TIME IN OREGON

Woman grew up buying and selling

BY VIKAAS SHANKER 4HE (ERALD .EWS

JOLIET (AP) – Jacki McHale looked at the fabric lying at the end of a Joliet driveway and thought, “Gold mine.�

McHale, a Channahon resident who has been going to garage sales since she was a kid, has learned to find value in the things people want to get rid of.

Like fabric, she said. “Fabric is super highpriced in stores right now,� she said. “If you see it selling for a quarter to a $1, it’s a good deal right there. Just make sure to smell the fabric first.�

McHale grew up in Joliet, buying and selling at garage sales. From furniture to electronics to toys, she revels in the rush of getting a good deal. “I love it. I don’t know how many I’ve been to in my life,� she said.

While garage sales are havens for inexpensive secondhand items, there’s still an art to it.

McHale took The HeraldNews through a tour of a garage sale and pointed out the do’s and don’ts.

Selling Heidi Cole helped her mother, Linda Burton, set up a garage sale at Burton’s home on Silver Fox Drive in Joliet last weekend.

The sale had some furniture, kids’ toys, electronics and household items like silverware and glasses, including an old desktop computer and a toaster oven. “She did a good job laying out all the items on blankets,� McHale said about Cole’s setup of separating items on the driveway ground. “It made sense to put it that way,� Cole said. “It’s easier for me to pack stuff up.�

She priced her mother’s items at what she thought was a fair deal. But Cole also wanted to make some money for a church-related charity back in Texas, where she lives.

However, when Cole was in the garage, McHale noticed a dog. “Don’t ever bring your pet outside,� McHale said. “That’s a red flag for

Members have had run-ins with law GOOD

CONTINUED FROM A1

Lambert, chief since about 2008, is working on a master’s degree through Kaplan University. Part of that program involves the concept of creative solutions surrounding the topic of community policing.

Lambert first brought up the idea about putting together a local youth group with his professor, also a chief of police, but for a much larger community in Texas. The professor’s small police department background appealed to Lambert. “He could relate,â€? Lambert said. “[The professor] said, ‘Ryan, I think you need to get that going. ‌ I think it would be a very good thing.’â€?

Lambert assembled the group in early May. It has six members, and Lambert says several more youngsters are interested.

Colton Haag, 15, was standing in a dugout and was “there to do something� when Lambert approached him at the park. “I was seeing the same kids hanging out at the park,� Lambert said. “They weren’t doing anything bad or criminal in nature, but they seemed bored and without direction.�

Almost all of the boys in the group have had run-ins with law enforcement, such as vandalism, and one has been on probation. The infractions weren’t serious, Lambert said. “He wanted to make this club,� said Marquez Glover, 15. “Ryan said it would it keep us out of trouble.�

In the 6 to 8 weeks that the program has been active, juvenile-related calls have been down from “quite a few,� Lambert said. “I’ve had one call since we’ve started this.�

Submitted

Chadwick Police Chief Ryan Lambert told the youth group he assembled to design its own name and logo. The youngsters came up with Chadwick Super Troopers and sketched this insignia.

In the beginning, one of the parents was skeptical, but overall, the parents have been very supportive and think it’s a great idea. “I can tell that they’ve embraced it,� Lambert said.

They came up with a name, too: Chadwick Super Troopers. “I challenged them to create their own logo, ‌ and that’s what they come up with,â€? said Lambert, as he held a paper with a design that one of the boys had sketched out.

Etched in red at the center is the first letter of each part of the group’s name, spelling out C-S-T. A gray thunderbolt diagonally cuts across it, flanking feathered wings on either side of the crimson drawing. “They’re talented,� the chief said.

The group plans to have the design emblazoned on T-shirts through Bill Mart T’s, a local shop that specializes in embroidery, screen and shirt printing.

The Milledgeville company will make a donation toward the shirts, and all of the businesses that have donated to the group will be listed on the back. “They’re doing a lot of good work,� said Tyler Marks, 21, head of village maintenance and the

group’s supervisor in the police chief’s absence. “They did all the crosswalks, parking lines, handicap lines [on Main Street].�

The group has pulled weeds, swept up the basketball court, and cleaned the park, among other things, and they’re on the lookout for bullying behavior, too.

So far, the group has gotten a lot of good feedback.

Because the boys are volunteers, and aren’t paid, businesses and people donate toward their effort and a reward system that Lambert established. “When I came up with this idea, I had to keep in mind that they’re kids, and there has to be a reward on the other side,â€? Lambert said. â€œâ€Ś Otherwise, you’re going to lose them.â€?

Lambert reached out to the Clinton LumberKings, Chicago Cubs, Chicago Bears, and other big names in sports.

Right away, the LumberKings donated tickets and concession-stand vouchers. The Troopers went to their first game together about a month ago.

The Cubs and Bears sent the group care packages with shirts, sunglasses, stickers, and a thank-you letter commending them on a job well done.

RETRIEVING WISHES IN DIXON

In addition to his police chief duties, like going out on calls and administrative work, Lambert supervises four part-time officers. All of the time that he spends with the youth group is donated.

He reworks his schedule to be able to fit in projects.

Lambert’s 9-year-old son, Mason, helps, too. “It’s a good life lesson for him, as well,� Lambert said. “He’s interacted well with these boys.�

Group members meet weekly at the police station in Chadwick. Their time is not always spent sunsoaked with a broom in hand. “It’s not just about going over what our next project is going to be,â€? Lambert said. â€œâ€Ś We go over life education stuff, too ... about making wise decisions.â€?

The various projects also serve as opportunities for the boys to learn about new careers. “I’ve told Colton quite a bit about being in city maintenance,â€? Marks said. “He said it’s an interesting thing. Pretty soon I’ll be going to school for my water license. It’s a dying industry. ‌ They need more young people.â€?

Although businesses around town are capable of doing work that the group is doing, Marks said, “anything that these kids do is a learning experience for later on.� “I think it’ll bring more respect for the things that are in the town,� Marks added. “And they’ll be more involved in preserving what’s here.�

Lambert emphasized that it’s not because the boys have done something good or bad that they are doing community service. “They’re doing it because they care about the community, and they want to do better,� he said. “They want to do good.�

Exclusive club cardholder McIlroy takes British Open, closes in on Grand Slam

BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

HOYLAKE, England – Walking off the 18th green as the British Open champion, Rory McIlroy kept gazing at all the greats on golf’s oldest trophy.

On the claret jug, his name is etched in silver below Phil Mickelson.

In the record book, he is listed behind Jack Nicklaus and Tiger AP Woods, as the youngest to get Rory McIlroy kisses the Claret Jug on Sunday after winning the three legs of the career Grand British Open at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England. McIlroy is Slam. one major away from achieving the career grand slam.

And over 4 days at Royal Liver-

pool, he had no equal.

“I’m immensely proud of myself,” McIlroy said after his two-shot victory Sunday that was never really in doubt. “To sit here, 25 years of age, and win my third major championship and be three-quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam. ... yeah, I never dreamed of being at this point in my career so quickly.”

He had to work a little harder than he wanted for this one.

Mother knows best

Shortly after the Bulls unveiled him Friday, Nikola Mirotic apologized for his English. Never mind that, at 23, he speaks three languages – four if you count basketball.

That’s a language in which coach Tom Thibodeau is fluent.

“I’ve gone through this once before in Houston with Yao [Ming],” Thibodeau said of coaching language barriers.

“Yao seemed to understand when it was praise, and he had a hard time when it was criticism. It will be fine. Nikola is ready for this.”

Deadpan humor aside, Thibodeau won’t be learning Montenegrin, Spanish or Chinese any time soon. But the Bulls’ coach will be aiding in Mirotic’s transition to the NBA game, after a decorated overseas career.

SHABBONA – Moms can play a large role in anyone’s life, and for Andrew Blackburn it is no different.

With his mother, Amy Blackburn, as his caddy, Blackburn cruised to an eight-shot medalist title at the 92nd Lincoln Highway Tournament.

Blackburn, playing for Emerald Hill and a sophomore at Western Illinois University, came into the second day of competition with a five-shot lead over Timber Creek’s Ryan Harrison and PrairieView’s Andrew Canfield.

“I knew that my game was there, and that I had a chance to win it if I played well,” Blackburn said. “I was a little too protective in my first nine holes today, and I struggled.”

Blackburn and Harrison struggled out of the gate Sunday, as they fired a 40 and 41 respectively

on their first nine holes. Canfield cut the deficit to only two strokes by firing a 37.

“I expected that I would have a good shot of winning coming in,” Canfield said. “I knew I was going to have to be aggressive and make putts, if I wanted to have a shot.”

This was when having his mother next to him helped Blackburn relax.

“My mom was very supportive, as a mother would be,” Blackburn said.

“She knew to joke when I needed it, kept things light and helped to take pressure off of me. She made sure that I stayed with it and that I could keep making birdies.”

Kahne and Larson were the lone Sprint Cup regulars in the field on an off weekend for NASCAR’s top series. Everyone comes back to Chicagoland in September on the same weekend that the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship begins at the 1.52-mile oval.

The night began with a pair of Richard Childress Racing teammates in front, after Scott and Dillon had the best showing in qualifying. It was Scott’s second pole of the season and No. 4 for his career. He won his first Nationwide Series pole at Chicagoland on Sept. 17, 2011.

No catching Chase

Elliott takes Nationwide points lead with win in Joliet

BY JAY COHEN !0 3PORTS 7RITER

Two on one in Toronto

JOLIET – Chase Elliott is proving to be a quick study. A few questions for his teammates and a couple practice laps, and he was ready to roll in his first race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Elliott held off Trevor Bayne to earn his third Nationwide Series win of the season Saturday night, putting the rookie on top of the standings. “We had an awesome race going,� Elliott said. “I try to make the most of my practice laps.

They gave me a good car. That gives me time to learn the track in practice.�

Elliott had a strong car all day long for JR Motorsports, qualifying third and leading a race-high 85 laps. Bayne tried to chase him down on fresh tires in the final laps, but ran out of time. “The gap was closing,� Bayne said. “Probably 10 more laps, but we’ll never know.�

Elliott, the son of former NASCAR champion Bill Elliott, also won in his first trips to Texas and Darlington this year. He leads the standings by seven points over Regan Smith.

Chase Elliott said Smith and Kasey Kahne provided some important advice about the track. “I did have some questions that I asked, and I definitely think that helped tonight,� he said. “So thankful to have a couple great teammates, and good to have

his Nationwide debut, driving Joe Gibbs Racing’s No. 20 Toyota. The 18-year-old Jones won the Truck Series race last week at Iowa in the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota he shares with Busch. Jones also won a Truck race last year in Phoenix.

Jones is expected to make two more Nationwide starts in Matt Kenseth’s car this season. “It was definitely a learning experience for me and everybody involved,� he said. “I feel like I learned a lot the whole night, and really picked up on some things that will help me through the next couple.�

Jones got some advice from Busch in preparation for his first run in the series. “A lot of what we talked about was working through traffic, and it definitely helped out,� Jones said. “It was something I was able to apply right away tonight and use to my advantage.�

Smith, who led the series standings by eight points over Elliott Sadler coming into the day, started 15th after a disappointing qualifying session, and it just got worse during the race. He never got into the mix on his way to 16th place.

It was similar to last year, when Smith was on top of the series heading into the first stop at Chicagoland, and then slid into the infield on Lap 129 and finished 13th. He had the same finish in the September race at the same track.

Break duo runs out of gas Pair looking for first Stage wins passed in last 50 meters

BY JAMEY KEATEN !SSOCIATED 0RESS

NIMES, France – Almost at the line, Jack Bauer and Martin Elmiger were exhausted but could see it coming – their first Tour de France stage victory. Those last 50 meters, however, got in the way.

A bunch of sprinters leading the pack came speeding like a runaway train and plowed past the huffing breakaway duo in the final milliseconds. Stage 15 belonged to Norwegian speedster Alexander Kristoff, his second stage victory in this Tour.

The 138-mile (222-kilometer) stage went smoothly for overall leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy. He made sure his main rivals couldn’t claw back any time, and he kept his yellow jersey by finishing in the trailing pack.

AP

Jack Bauer, who rode in the two-man breakaway all of the race, cries after being caught by the sprinting pack in the last meters of the 15th stage of the Tour de France on Sunday in Nimes, France.

After 2 days in the Alps, Sunday’s stage offered some relief over a flat course from Tallard, southeast France’s parachuting capital, toward Nimes, known for its Roman arena and bullfighting. More relief comes Monday – a second rest day.

This ride showed yet

again on the Tour how mighty efforts so often go unrewarded.

Bauer is a New Zealander, who had a better shot of holding off the sprinters than Swiss champion Elmiger. Bauer dropped his bike after the finish line, sat on the ground and cupped his face in

his hands, crying. They had led nearly from the starter’s gun. “It’s a fantasy for any cyclist to win a stage at the Tour, and especially for a Kiwi cyclist, not many of us turn professional and not many of us get a chance to start the Tour de France,�

Bauer said.

The 29-year-old rider came to the Tour to help Garmin-Sharp leader Andrew Talansky, who dropped out before Stage 12 because of injuries from an earlier crash.

The pack perfectly timed its move on the breakaway duo and proved too strong.

Bauer was pedaling with his last remaining strength, and when he looked back a last time they were already zooming by. He finished in 10th place, with Elmiger 16th.

Sweep eludes Whtie Sox Astros pound Danks; Gonzalez drives in game-winner for Dodgers "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Matt Dominguez hit a two-run homer and a tiebreaking RBI double, and Houston tied its season high with 17 hits in a 11-7 win over the White Sox in Chicago.

Chicago fell behind 4-0 early and tied it 7-all in the sixth on Alexei Ramirez’s RBI double, Jose Abreu’s run-scoring single and a run-scoring two-out grounder by Dayan Viciedo that went through the legs of All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve for Houston’s second error of the inning.

Chicago’s John Danks gave up a season-high 12 hits and seven runs in 4 1/3 innings.

Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 2: Josh Collmenter threw seven sharp innings, Arizona scored on an unusual play in the sixth inning and then completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs in Phoenix.

The only run off Collmenter (8-5) came on Anthony Rizzo’s 23rd home run of the season and third of the series.

Arizona’s go-ahead run scored from third base when the first baseman Rizzo caught a pop foul while tumbling into the camera well. By rule, runners are awarded a base when a defensive player carries the ball out of play.

Dodgers 4, Cardinals 3: Adrian Gonzalez hit a tiebreaking single in the ninth inning off Cardinals

AP

White Sox second baseman Gordon Beckham (right) looks to first base after forcing out the Astros’ Enrique Hernandez at second during Sunday’s game in Chicago. Matt Dominguez was out at first base. closer Trevor Rosenthal, and Los Angeles salvaged the finale of a three-game series in St. Louis.

Gonzalez leads the National League with 38 road RBIs. He missed a chance earlier, flying out with the bases loaded to end the

fourth.

Rosenthal (1-5) struggled pitching on the third consecutive day, after earning saves the first two games. Peter Bourjos’ two-run homer off Clayton Kershaw tied it in the sixth.

Timber Creek wins 30th team title MOTHER

CONTINUED FROM B1

Blackburn regained control over Canfield and Harrison by firing a 2-under par 70 on the final 18 holes, and pull away for an eight-stroke victory over Canfield, and 12-strokes better than Harrison.

While Harrison was out of medalist contention, he knew a bigger prize was still on the table.

Harrison, who was playing with Timber Creek teammate Matt Rosquist in the final group, knew that the final four holes were huge for the team. “Matt and I got together and decided the number to get to was +6 [bestagainst-bogey] between the two of us,� Harrison said.

Combined, they finished +7 best-againstbogey on the final four holes. The final stretch helped to give the team a tally of +39, which topped Fairways (formerly Rochelle Country Club) at +37. “We were struggling all day, and kind of grinding it out,� Rosquist said. “We had to work hard for it today, and everyone stepped it up today, and played well to pull it off.�

While the duo was huge for Timber Creek, they did not stand alone on their team making Sunday charges. Every mem-

ber on the team finished positively on the day for Timber Creek to chip in just enough to slip by Fairways.

Bob Venier and Harrison both fired +5 on Sunday, while Rosquist and Joel Kipping came in at +4, and Scott Hargrave and James Huffstutler rounded out Timber Creek with rounds of +2 and +1 respectively. “It was a good tournament all around,� said Harrison. “Everyone came together at the end. Joel Kipping came in huge for us in the end, and Bob Venier had another great Sunday.

He’s a true veteran coming in the clutch.�

Timber Creek’s team title marked their third in 5 years, including the second straight, and 30th overall in the tournament.

Blackburn’s victory is the fifth in Emerald Hill’s history, and first since Joe Demory won it in 2004. As a team, Emerald Hill finished in third place, firing a +15 best-against-bogey format. Andrew Blackburn led them with a +22, followed by Josh Kunde at +7, Nathan Blackburn at +1, Ryan Hurley at -1, Rick Anderson at -4, and Jeff Sands at -9.

Rock River shot a -48, led by Jarred Hippen and Andrew Tichler, who fired +9 and +7, respectively.

Timber Creek’s Ryan Harrison tees off from the fifth tee Sunday during the final round of the Men’s Lincoln Highway Tournament at Indian Oaks Country Club in Shabbona. Harrison finished third.

Gasol to act as mentor for Mirotic FLUENT

CONTINUED FROM B1

Thibodeau’s experience working with Yao, whom he used to travel to China to drill in the offseason, isn’t the only support system. Thirteen years ago, the Gasol family moved from Spain to Memphis, Tenn., to aid Pau’s transition.

Thanks to averages of 17.6 points and 8.9 rebounds, Gasol won Rookie of the Year that season while playing all 82 games. The Bulls would settle for prominent rotation minutes on a deep team from Mirotic. “It’s going to be an adjustment year for him,� Gasol said. “I think he will be homesick for

awhile. [But] coming to an exciting team will make a big difference for him. Being in a city like Chicago will help as well.

There’s a big Serbian community here. “I was lucky my family was able to join me and make that transition easier. I had a great year. Hopefully, he will have an impact pretty immediately. He’s a very talented player. Now he has to adjust to the game here. I will try to help him out as much as I can.

I think he feels good that I am here as well. I can speak Spanish to him, relate to him.�

Mirotic and his wife recently welcomed their first child, so he will be adjusting to new situations on and off the court. That’s not to men-

tion a new country, new league and new teammates.

That’s a lot of new. “The fact Pau went through it, it’s great to have Pau here for that,�

Thibodeau said. “There are a lot of international players in our league, who have done quite well. I don’t think it will be a hard transition for him. There are some things he will have to get used to. It’s a new culture. The NBA is different. He has been preparing for this for 3 years now. We just want him to be himself. If he does that, he will be fine.�

Mirotic never had met Gasol until Thursday, when both landed at O’Hare from Spain.

Mirotic called Gasol “a great guy [who] will help

me� and it’s a role Gasol said he will embrace.

The perpetual smile Mirotic sported throughout Friday at least spoke to the comfort he feels with his decision. Many expected Mirotic to remain with Real Madrid in Spain for one more season. But he seems ready for the next adventure, just as Gasol once was. “All this is a big challenge for me,� Mirotic said. “I know it’s going to be hard, especially in the beginning. But as Coach is saying – and that helps me a lot – they want me to progress step-by-step. I strongly believe that I’m ready for this challenge. And I’m going to show it by practicing and working out hard and playing.�

HOYLAKE, England – Sergio Garcia doffed his cap, patted his heart and blew kisses to the crowd surrounding the 18th green at Royal Liverpool, after clinching what ultimately would be a fourth second-place finish at a major.

Another close call on golf’s highest stage, but there were no tears or regrets this time.

Just pride at ensuring this was no runaway for winner Rory McIlroy at the British Open.

“Everyone looks at a second [place], and they want to make it a negative. Not at all,” Garcia said. “I did almost everything I could.”

Starting the final round seven shots back and in the next-to-last pairing, the 34-year-old Spaniard was the only player to take the challenge to McIlroy on Sunday, and closed to within two strokes of him on four occasions over the back nine. The first time was at No. 10 when he sunk a 10-foot eagle putt, sparking a low fist pump from Garcia, as McIlroy was waiting to take his second shot from the fairway.

Each time the pressure was on down the stretch, though, McIlroy was able to respond. Notably on the par fives that have been his strength all week.

“There was a better player,” Garcia said after his 6-under 66.

“It’s as simple as that.”

s 3ERGIO 'ARCIA FINISHED SECOND for the fourth time at major in his career on Sunday. That’s not even close to the all-time record. Jack Nicklaus finished second 19 times. Of course, Nicklaus also won a record 18 majors. Garcia has not won any.

After a final-round collapse at the Masters in 2012, Garcia virtually wrote off his chances of ever ending his major drought.

His second-place finishes at the PGA Championship in 1999 – when a brash, 19-year-old Garcia ran Tiger Woods close – and 2008, plus another at the British Open in 2007 following a playoff with Padraig Harrington, hit him hard. Garcia also had six other top-five placings in the majors by 2012, including a fifth at Royal Liverpool in 2006.

With that elusive major in sight once again, Garcia’s composure was striking Sunday. He gave three kids a high five on the way to the 15th tee. He barely acknowledged the roars that greeted any birdie from McIlroy behind him. He fed off the regular shouts of encouragement from the galleries, walking the course with a smile on his face.

“It looks like I’m finally growing up,” Garcia said.

Garcia knew there was no room for error if he was to reel in McIlroy, and he had an outrageous

piece of fortune on No. 12 when he pushed an approach shot right and into the grandstand. The ball rebounded off a metal railing and settled at the edge of the green.

He made an up-and-down for par, kissed his ball and threw it into the grandstand.

“Come on Sergio, you can win it!” a female fan had cried out.

Garcia ran out of luck at the par-3 15th. His tee shot trickled into a greenside bunker, and he took too much sand with his attempted escape, the ball hitting the wall of the bunker halfway down.

That bogey restored McIlroy’s three-shot lead, and birdies by Garcia at Nos. 16 and 18 – both par fives – weren’t enough. He tied for second with Rickie Fowler, two shots behind McIlroy.

“It’s difficult when you’re in a situation where you know you can’t make a mistake,” Garcia said. “It just puts that little extra pressure.”

Being back contending at a major made Garcia feel alive, though, and he has renewed hope heading into next month’s PGA Championship at Valhalla.

“I try to look at the positives.

And there’s always a lot more positives than negatives,” he said.

“Sunday in a tournament with the chance of winning, and in this case in a major championship at The Open, it’s always exciting. I was excited since I woke up this morning. There’s no better feeling.”

McIlroy swats away potential threats CLUB

CONTINUED FROM B1

Staked to a six-shot lead going into the final round, McIlroy turned back every challenge.

He made two key birdies around the turn, and delivered a majestic drive at just the right moment to close with a 1-under 71 and complete his wire-to-wire victory.

In another major lacking tension over the final hour, what brought The Open to life was the potential of its champion.

After nearly 2 years of turmoil, McIlroy looked like the kid who shattered scoring records to win the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional, and who won the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island by a record eight shots a year later.

Boy Wonder is back. Or maybe he’s just getting started again.

McIlroy won by two shots over Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler to become the first startto-finish winner since Woods at St. Andrews in 2005. Even with one major left this year, the Northern Irishman already is looking ahead to Augusta National next April for a shot at the slam.

“I’ve really found my passion again for golf,”

AP

Rickie Fowler watches his shot from the rough Sunday on the first fairway during the final round of the British Open at Royal Liverpool in Hoylake, England. Fowler finished tied for second with Sergio Garcia behind Rory McIlroy.

McIlroy said. “Not that it ever dwindled, but it’s what I think about when I get up in the morning.

It’s what I think about when I go to bed. I just want to be the best golfer that I can be. And I know if I can do that, then trophies like this are within my capability.”

McIlroy put an end to this major with a powerful drive down the fairway at the par-5 16th, setting up a two-putt birdie to restore his lead to three shots. He finished with two pars, tapping in for par on the 18th green.

The hard part was trying not to cry when his

mother, Rosie, came onto the green with tears streaming down her face. She was not at the other two majors. Before leaving, McIlroy turned and applauded the fans in the horseshoe arena, who were witness to another masterpiece.

This could have been another romp except for a shaky stretch early for McIlroy, and solid efforts from Garcia and Fowler.

Garcia pulled within two shots with four holes to play, until he put his tee shot in a pot bunker just right of the 15th green.

His first shot failed to get over the 4-foot sodden wall and rolled back into

the sand. He made bogey, and two birdies over the final three holes were not enough. Garcia shot 66 and was runner-up in a major for the fourth time.

“I think that we gave it a good effort,” Garcia said.

“And there was someone a little bit better.”

Fowler, playing in the final group for the second straight major, didn’t do anything wrong. He just didn’t do enough right to make up a six-shot deficit.

Fowler played without a bogey, made three birdies on the last four holes and shot 67.

“He played awesome,” Fowler said. “And it was just kind of fun to throw a few shots at him coming. To see him win was pretty cool.”

It was the first time two straight majors were won wire to wire. Martin Kaymer did it last month at Pinehurst No. 2, taking the U.S. Open by eight shots.

McIlroy, who finished at 17-under 271, wasn’t the only big winner Sunday. Ten years ago, his father and three of his friends each put up 100 pounds ($170) at 500-1 odds that McIlroy would win the British Open before he turned 26.

The kid made good on the bet with a brand of golf that had him marked early as golf’s next great player.

AT A GLANCE A brief look at the fourth round Sunday at the British Open: WINNER: Rory McIlroy won the claret jug for the first time with a 1-under 71 and 17-under 271 total.

RUNNERS-UP: Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler finished two shots behind.

For Garcia, it was the fourth runner-up finish in a major without winning one.

Fowler also tied for second behind Martin Kaymer at last month’s U.S. Open.

THREE-QUARTERS SLAM: At age 25, McIlroy picked up the third leg of a career Grand Slam, adding to the 2011 U.S. Open and 2012 PGA Championship. He will go to the Masters next spring trying to become only the sixth player to win all four of golf’s biggest events.

SELECT COMPANY: Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Gene Sarazen are the only players to win a career Grand Slam. Nicklaus and Woods were the only ones to win three when they were 25 or younger.

WHERE’S TIGER: Woods closed with a 3-over 75 for his worst 72-hole finish in a major. A 6-over 294 left him 69th place out of 72 players who made the cut.

His previous worst were ties for 40th at last year’s PGA Championship and the 2012 Masters.

ALSO STRUGGLING: Among the three players who finished behind Woods was Kaymer, who romped to an eight-shot victory at Pinehurst. The German never got it going at Royal Liverpool, failing to break par in any round and closing with an ugly 79 WINNING BET: McIlroy wasn’t the only winner.

British media reported that the winner’s father, Gerry McIlroy, and three of his friends a decade ago placed a combined bet of 400 pounds (now $680) on McIlroy winning the claret jug before he turned 26.

The odds were 500-1, so the syndicate stands to collect 200,000 pounds, or about $340,000.

DEFENDING CHAMP: Phil Mickelson closed with his best round of the week, a 68 that left him tied for 23rd.

NOTEWORTHY: Fowler (69-69-68-67) became only the third player to shoot four rounds in the 60s and not win the Open. Ernie Els did it twice. Jesper Parnevik came up short at Turnberry in 1994.

Previous Solution: “Stop the habit of wishful thinking and start the habit of thoughtful wishes.” -- Mary Martin (c) 2014 by NEA, Inc., dist. by Universal Uclick 7-21

Astrograph Let someone know how you feel Monday, July 21, 2014 Your curiosity will be magnified this year. Items and investments that will improve your future will be made available to you.

Your instincts will enable you to make prudent choices. Financial opportunities will come your way, but refrain from making a major investment in someone else’s venture.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Let someone special know how you feel. A miscommunication could hurt someone’s feelings, but a truthful dialogue will strengthen a relationship. Work as a team with a close friend or family member.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You will be pleasantly surprised if you choose to join a seriousminded organization. Your long list of accomplishments will make you feel understandably proud, and will impress your cohorts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Look before you leap.

Although you may have several interests in common with a new acquaintance, you should take time to investigate any problems before you make a promise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Relationships with family members will try your patience.

Avoid unpleasant confrontations.

Opt to spend time with peers, accomplishing goals that will build your confidence and brighten your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your curiosity will be stimulated by exotic destinations.

Even if a trip is not currently possible, there are many cultural activities you can participate in that would quench your thirst for knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t let another’s opinion cause you to change your career direction. Do what’s best for you. Consider all of your options and follow your instincts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Turmoil is likely to disrupt your personal life. Take a step back and re-evaluate your current situation. An objective view will be the key to avoiding regret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will have a much better chance of reaching your goal if you keep your plans a secret. While it’s natural to want to share your ideas, wait until

you are fully prepared.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Focus on social or humanitarian events that you feel passionate about. Your persistence and dedication will enable you to persuade others to join in the cause that you’re championing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be frustrated, but don’t let problems at work interfere with your home life.

Whatever the issue, do your best, act professionally and keep the two environments separate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- After working hard, you deserve some downtime to relax with friends. A movie or concert will lift your spirits; a day of pampering will help prepare you for your next challenge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Don’t take unnecessary risks. A joint moneymaking scheme may tempt you, but you should hold back. You will do better sticking to conservative investments that don’t involve other people.
