SERVING ROCK FALLS, STERLING AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1854

WHITESIDE COUNTY | ‘FRIEND OF THE FAIR’

‘Labor of love’ to be recognized Award to honor Morrison men Friday

BY ANGEL SIERRA asierra@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5695

MORRISON – Two longtime fair volunteers will have another reason to smile this week as the 144th Whiteside County Fair gets underway.

On Friday at the “Friend of the Fair” presentation, Paul Vock and Dan Heusinkveld, both of Morrison, will be honored for their years of service and support.

“We were selected by the other board members, basi-

Preview inside Get the fair schedule and more on A10-12 cally, against our wishes,” said Vock, 79, as he sat back and laughed while looking over at his longtime friend, Dan Heusinkveld, 77.

The two, a humble pair of hard workers, exemplify the qualities the board looked for in “Friend of the Fair” candidates, an award that has been celebrated for 25 years.

Vock was a farmer before he retired, and Heusinkveld had worked for the Whiteside County clerk’s office since 1954. Both have been involved with the fair for more than 35 years.

“It’s services, work and ideas,” Heusinkveld said. “It’s what keeps the fair going and keeps it fresh.”

“I was a farm kid,” Vock recalled. “We were poorer than church mice back then. …

Everybody was.”

NEXT GENERATION OF GANG GREEN AT CARROLL COUNTY FAIR

MILLEDGEVILLE – A man was injured while watching the demolition derby Saturday night at the Carroll County Fair.

Christopher M. Heisler, 32, of Milledgeville, was watching the event when a piece of metal from one of the cars flew into the stands, striking him in the chest.

The metal had to be pulled out from his chest.

Officials believe a car motor might have blown apart, propelling the metal toward the crowd.

Milledgeville Police Chief Jim Haag said Milledgeville Fire Protection District personnel, who were on scene for the derby, initially responded in the stands and then requested aid from Mount Carroll paramedics.

“The paramedics were also already on the grounds because of the event, so help came quickly,” Haag said.

Heisler was taken to CGH Medical Center and then transferred to Rockford Memorial Hospital. He was in fair condition Sunday night.

The demolition derby was not stopped while the emergency was handled, and the event was completed.

Fair officials declined to comment on the incident Sunday.

Tina Barnhart, from the Dixon Alzheimer’s Association office, reads names of the winners in the duck race Saturday after conducting a drawing. The race, a highlight of Reagan Trail Days, was canceled because of a fire, which caused the Dixon City Fire Department to be busy during the races.

The department’s personnel were scheduled to help gather the ducks at the end of the race.

DIXON – Residents and firefighters escaped injury at a three-alarm fire that broke out just north of Dixon early Saturday morning.

The initial fire call to 1931 Hidden Shores Drive came in at 5:54 a.m., and several area fire departments were called to assist the Dixon Rural Fire Department, Capt. Nancy Mercer said.

Mercer said. “Everyone did what they were supposed to do – they got out quickly and stayed out.�

The roof collapsed, and there was considerable smoke and water damage to the home, forcing the family to leave.

The state fire marshal will examine the scene today.

The cause has not yet been officially determined, but it was not related to the slumber party, Mercer said.

Drafted by a suffragette in 1923, the Equal Rights Amendment has been stirring up controversy ever since. Many opponents considered it dead when a 10-year ratification push failed in 1982, yet its backers on Capitol Hill, in the Illinois statehouse and elsewhere are making clear this summer that the fight is far from over.

In Washington, congresswomen Jackie Speier, D-Calif., and Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., are prime sponsors of two pieces of legislation aimed at getting the amendment ratified. They recently organized a pro-ERA rally, evoking images of the 1970s, outside the U.S. Supreme Court. “Recent Supreme Court decisions have sent women’s rights back to the Stone Age,� said Speier, explaining the renewed interest in the ERA. The amendment would stipulate that equal rights cannot be denied or curtailed on the basis of gender.

Participants in the July 24 rally directed much of their ire at the Supreme Court’s recent Hobby Lobby ruling. In a 5-4 decision, with the majority comprised of five male justices, the court allowed some private businesses to opt out of the federal health care law’s requirement that contraception coverage be provided to workers at no extra charge.

“They could not have made the Hobby Lobby ruling with an ERA,�

Maloney said.

Meanwhile, in Illinois, battle lines are being drawn for a likely vote this fall in the state House of Representatives on whether to ratify the ERA. The state Senate approved the ratification resolution on a 39-11 vote in May, and backers hope for a similar outcome in the House after the legislature reconvenes in November.

If the amendment gets the required three-fifths support in the House, Illinois would become the 36th state to ratify the ERA. Thirty-eight states’ approval is required to ratify an amendment – but the ERA’s possible road to ratification today is complicated by its history.

The Illinois resolution’s chief sponsor in the Democrat-controlled House, Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang – who said he was close to securing the 71 votes needed for approval – is motivated in part by Illinois’ role in the ERA drama of the 1970s.

Back then, the legislature’s failure to ratify the amendment was a crucial blow to the national campaign. “Illinois was the state that killed it 40 years ago,� Lang said, calling that “appalling� and noting that Illinois has an equal rights amendment in its state constitution.

Mother of dead Missouri teen wants officer jailed

Monica Maschak/Shaw Media

Matt Holliday, 24, left and fiancee Brittani Click, 21, user their compound bows for target practice July 24 in the backyard of Holliday’s parents’ Sycamore home.

The couple enjoys outdoor activities and hunting together. They typically consult each other before big purchases on hunting equipment, and would rather spend time outdoors than spend money for entertainment.

Talking about money key for post-recession couples More discussing finances before getting married

BY KATIE DAHLSTROM Shaw Media kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – When Brittani Click first met her fiancé, Matt Holliday, she wouldn’t have called herself a responsible saver.

But after frequent financial talks and with a little less than 2 months left to go before saying “I do,” Click has learned from her future husband’s frugal ways.

“He’s very responsible in a way that’s made me responsible,” said Click, 21.

The best way not to get caught in a financial tangle that can doom a relationship is to talk about finances before and throughout a marriage, local couples and experts say. Although most couples talk about finances monthly and almost all of them consider financial compatibility before tying the knot, a recent study shows those married after the 2008 recession were even more likely to consider finances before saying “I do.”

Click and Holliday, 24, of Sycamore, started talking about money early on in their 14-month relationship.

But it wasn’t until 6 months ago when they

really started to get into the details of each other’s books.

“We actually talk about finances a lot,” Click said.

“But the most stressful thing is paying for the wedding.”

The couple is like the majority of couples married after 2008, according to an Experian Consumer Survey of 1,000 married adults. Of post-recession couples, 82 percent said they talked to their spouse about finances before tying the knot, compared with 65 percent of pre-recession couples.

Click, a financial services officer at Illinois Community Credit Union and Holliday, a parts advisor for auto dealer Brian Bemis, want to stop renting and buy a house. With that goal in mind, they often consult each other before making big purchases, such as equipment for their hunting hobby. And that’s where the couple bucks the trend.

Men included in the study said they would spend $1,231 before consulting their spouse, three times the $396 women said they would spend before asking their sweetheart. Click said they have a $100 threshold.

Looking at finances before taking a trip down the aisle comes recommended by lawyer Matt Shaw, who’s handled

thousands of family law cases.

“I suppose that premarital counseling on finances would be a good idea for anyone,” Shaw said. “It’s no guarantee that the relationship will work, but good financial awareness and habits make for a better life in either instance.”

Shaw, a founding partner of St. Charles-based Shaw, Jacobs and Associates P.C, sees money as a potential catalyst for divorce in extreme situations, such as one spouse having a lengthy bout of unemployment or a severe gambling problem.

“I think the relationship problems are the cause of the divorce, and the money issues can be a precipitating factor,” Shaw said. “Or, once a party has decided the relationship is untenable, attention turns to finances.”

Love might have brought Earl and Stacy Gable together, but being on the same page with money is the thing that keeps them from falling apart.

“It’s not me against her, it’s us against it,” said Earl Gable, 46, of Sycamore. “We’re on the same team.”

Unlike many 35 percent of couples in the survey married before 2008, money has always been an open topic for the Gables, who were married 14 years ago.

WASHINGTON – For the millions eagerly waiting to visit the long-planned Eisenhower memorial on a 4-acre site on the National Mall, there’s bad news.

The powers that be are still – still – fighting over what it should look like 15 years after the federal government approved the idea of a memorial to Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th president and fivestar general who served as supreme allied commander in Europe during World War II. You will remember the uproar a few years ago when designers decided to portray Eisenhower as a carefree farm boy.

I asked his granddaughter Susan, an accomplished, genteel woman, what she thought.

She was apoplectic: Eisenhower may have been proud to have grown up in Kansas, but she was adamant that depicting him as a young farm boy was not the way to remember her dignified grandfather in the first presidential memorial of the 21st century. The farm boy idea bit the dust.

The current design depicts Eisenhower the soldier addressing troops with an inscription that reads: “The tide has turned. The free men of the world are marching together to victory.�

It, too, has drawn criticism as not grand enough, too cartoony, too big, too expensive. But many love it.

Even as the few remaining Americans who fought on D-Day and in the Battle of the Bulge would appreciate seeing a memorial to Eisenhower before they die, the controversy in Washington grows more intense.

GROUNDBREAKING was supposed to start 2 years ago. The ground is still intact. Currently, Congress has approved no money for construction The hapless Eisenhower Memorial Commission finds itself trying to defend itself from congressional critics who say the memorial is just another Washington boondoggle.

The House Natural Resources Committee wonders where the $41 million spent on the project has gone. There are calls for scrapping the design, by the renown Frank Gehry architectural firm, in favor of holding a public design competition.

The all-powerful National Capital Planning Commission has voted 7-3 to oppose the design. Gehry said in a statement his 7 years of work on the memorial have been pro

bono. He is disheartened that politics has gotten into the mix.

In Washington, politics always gets into the mix. The controversy of Maya Linn’s somber wall engraved with the names of those who died in Vietnam was searing, although most agree now it is one of the most moving memorials ever conceived.

THE EERIE SPECTACLE of 19 life-size American soldiers in Korea wearing ponchos cast in steel rising out of the ground thrilled most but appalled some. There were many questions about early Dwight D. fundraising Eisenhower efforts for 1890-1969 the memoThe debate rial, and a over details regarding group of the proposed early supEisenhower porters for Memorial, as a memoin memorials past, has rial was disbeen intense, graced. columnist Ann AmbassaMcFeatters dor Douglas writes.

MacArthur II is quoted as saying, “I only wish that the swindlers who conned so many of us could be slowly and painfully emasculated.�

Finally, the memorial was dedicated in 1995 and is considered one of the most inspiring memorials in the nation.

It’s hard to believe how intense the fury was over the World War II Memorial, located between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, with its water fountains, pavilions, Field of Stars and sculptures. Although it is now wildly popular, especially with veterans, the design still rankles some, with one describing it “as a kind of corny pseudo-European classicism that is out of place on the Mall.�

It finally was dedicated in 2004 after decades of controversy, with funds raised by former senator and WWII veteran Bob Dole.

It was built with $181 million in private donations and only $16 million in taxpayer money.

The simple, dignified memorial to Franklin Delano Roosevelt took 41 years to finish.

Don’t despair, you who like Ike. His memorial is scheduled to be dedicated on Memorial Day 2017 at a cost of $142 million.

Eventually, everybody will love it.

ANALYSIS | LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR HOPEFULS

ILLINOIS

Vallas hosts events, attacks Rauner; Sanguinetti hasn’t appeared solo in public

Governor OKs ‘Sign and Drive’

on issues and split up to cover more ground.

Since their primary win, Vallas said he and Quinn coordinate daily. “We don’t step over each other. The governor’s a great texter. I’ll send him a long text and he’ll send a one-word response,� Vallas joked.

Still, there are areas where running mates aren’t on the same page.

For Sanguinetti and Rauner, it’s social issues.

Sanguinetti describes herself as “pro-life,� but Rauner says he doesn’t like the term and believes the issue of abortion is best addressed between a woman and her doctor. They’ve repeatedly insisted they’ll focus on financial issues over a social issues agenda. “Like many pro-life Republicans in Illinois, I respect Bruce’s position on the issue and believe Illinois is in such bad economic and fiscal shape that all of our focus needs to be on growing jobs, reforming state government and improving education,�

Sanguinetti wrote.

For Quinn and Vallas, the issue of education could cause ripples. Vallas has previously faced criticism for school reform methods. In New Orleans, he pushed for charter schools and school choice, which were controversial with labor unions.

Quinn doesn’t support charter schools expansion; Sanguinetti and Rauner do. Vallas – who was a 2002 Illinois gubernatorial candidate – explained it less decisively. “I don’t think we can charter our way to excellence,� he wrote.

CHICAGO (AP) – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed legislation ending the practice of posting a driver’s license as security after certain traffic citations, meaning drivers now may sign a citation as their guarantee they will appear in court or pay a fine.

Pat Quinn’s Quinn o f f i c e made the announcement involving the so-called “Sign and Drive� legislation late Saturday evening.

The Chicago Democrat said the measure, which takes immediate effect, will help Illinois motorists hold onto a vital piece of identification and also allow law enforcement officials to do their jobs.

The Secretary of State’s Office still may suspend the driving privileges of any motorist who does not comply with the citation. “No longer will motorists John D’Amico be inconvenienced by having to give up their driver’s license for nothing more than a moving violation,� said state Sen. Michael Noland of Elgin, who sponsored the measure with state Rep. John D’Amico, a fellow Democrat from Chicago.

D’Amico called the legislation “a piece of common-sense legislation aimed at cutting down on the instances of identification misuse or misplacement.�

Candidates play different roles

BY SOPHIA TAREEN 4HE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

CHICAGO – The candidates for Illinois lieutenant governor don’t just differ on policy issues. The Democratic former school executive and Republican councilwoman are playing starkly contrasting roles on the campaign trail.

Gov. Pat Quinn’s running mate, outspoken former Chicago Public Schools CEO Paul Vallas, has taken to hosting events in Chicago to make critical attacks on Republican Bruce Rauner’s ideas and business record. Meanwhile, Rauner’s running mate, Wheaton council member Evelyn Sanguinetti, tends to appears alongside the venture capitalist and emphasize her life story as a Spanishspeaking child of immigrants.

How the candidates view their roles during one of the nation’s mostwatched governor’s races could indicate how they’d conduct themselves in office. This year is also the first time in Illinois’ recent history that governor and lieutenant governor candidates are tied together on the ballot in both the primary and general elections.

The candidates detailed their approaches and where they differ with their running mates in interviews and candidate questionnaires with The Associated Press.

In the past few weeks, Vallas – a former top school official in Pennsylvania, Louisiana and Connecticut – has held several solo news conferences to pick apart

LEFT: Paul Vallas, the Democratic candidate for Illinois lieutenant governor, speaks Aug. 4 at a news conference on the shore of Lake Michigan in Chicago. RIGHT: Evelyn Sanguinetti, the Illinois Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, speaks July 21 at a news conference in Chicago. Gov. Pat Quinn’s pick, Vallas, recently has taken to Chicago events to criticize Republican Bruce Rauner’s ideas and business record. Rauner’s running mate, Sanguinetti, tends to appear alongside the businessman, emphasizing her life story as the child of immigrants.

Rauner’s ideas, including budget proposals. The sessions, with sharp extemporaneous speeches, prompted Rauner’s campaign to deem him Quinn’s “attack dog.�

But Vallas, who’s also made lower-key stops at universities and with Quinn at parades, disagrees. “I call myself a watchdog. There’s a difference ...,� he told the AP. “An attack dog attacks for a no reason. A watchdog guards the house. I’m going to bark until the neighbors hear ... and do something about it.�

Sanguinetti hasn’t

appeared publicly on her own in Chicago, prompting claims from Quinn campaign staffers that she’s not trusted to address reporters in Illinois’ largest media market. Sanguinetti dismissed the notion as “laughable,� explaining that she’s spoken often to crowds elsewhere, such as county party dinners and to Latino organizations and women’s groups. “My role with Bruce is to be his partner and, as I meet with agencies, to relay all of Bruce’s vision when he’s unable to be there,� Sanguinetti, the daughter of immigrants

from Cuba and Ecuador, told the AP. Aside from taking over if something happens to the governor, the lieutenant governor’s office has few official duties.

The change in pairing candidates was prompted by a 2010 scandal surrounding Democratic nominee Scott Lee Cohen, when party leaders forced the pawn shop owner to step down after a past domestic battery charge and other issues surfaced. Lawmakers quickly altered election law.

The change was noticeable in the primary with the duos lined up

EGYPT

Israel, Hamas OK cease-fire proposal More than 2,000 people have been killed in violence

AP

New students at San Diego State University watch a video on sexual consent during an orientation meeting Friday in San Diego. Defining consensual sex is a growing trend by universities under pressure to do more to protect victims.

Throughout the country, schools have been adopting policies on their own that set the parameters for distinguishing when consent was given for a sexual activity, and when it was not.

State debates ‘yes means yes’ sex assault legislation Measure requires consent standard SAN DIEGO (AP) – College students have heard a similar refrain for years in campaigns to stop sexual assault: No means no.

Now, as universities around the country that are facing pressure over the handling of rape allegations adopt policies to define consensual sex, California is poised to take it a step further.

Lawmakers are considering what would be the first-in-the-nation measure requiring all colleges that receive public funds to set a standard for when “yes means yes.”

Defining consensual sex is a growing trend by universities in an effort to do more to protect victims.

From the University of California system to Yale, schools have been adopting standards to distinguish when consent was given for a sexual activity and when it was not.

Legislation passed by California’s state Senate in May and coming before the Assembly this month would require all schools that receive public funds for student

financial assistance to set a so-called “affirmative consent standard” that could be used in investigating and adjudicating sexual assault allegations.

That would be defined as “an affirmative, unambiguous and conscious decision” by each party to engage in sexual activity.

Silence or lack of resistance does not constitute consent. The legislation says it’s also not consent if the person is drunk, drugged, unconscious or asleep.

Lawmakers say consent can be nonverbal, and universities with similar policies have outlined examples as maybe a nod of the head or moving in closer to the person.

Several state legislatures, including Maryland, Texas and Connecticut, introduced bills in the past year to push colleges to do more after a White House task force reported that one in five female college students is a victim of sexual assault. The U.S. Education Department also took the unprecedented step of releasing the names of schools facing federal investigation for the way they handle sexual abuse allegations.

But no state legislation has gone as far as California’s bill in requiring a consent standard.

Critics say the state is overstepping its bounds.

The Los Angeles Times in an editorial after the bill passed the state Senate 27-4 wrote that it raises questions as to whether it is “reasonable” or “enforceable.” The legislation is based on the White House task force’s recommendations.

“It seems extremely difficult and extraordinarily intrusive to micromanage sex so closely as to tell young people what steps they must take in the privacy of their own dorm rooms,” the newspaper said.

Some fear navigating the murky waters of consent spells trouble for universities.

“Frequently these cases involve two individuals, both of whom maybe were under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and it can be very tricky to ascertain whether consent was obtained,” said Ada Meloy, general counsel of the American Council on Education, which represents college presidents.

CAIRO (AP) – Israel and the Hamas militant group accepted an Egyptian cease-fire proposal Sunday, clearing the way for the resumption of talks on a long-term truce to end a month of heavy fighting in the Gaza Strip that has taken nearly 2,000 lives.

The announcement marked the second time in less than a week that the bitter enemies had agreed to Egyptian mediation. A similar 3-day truce last week collapsed in renewed violence over the weekend.

The truce took effect at midnight, preceded by heavy rocket fire toward Israel. In Cairo, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said the cease-fire would allow humanitarian aid into battered Gaza neighborhoods and the reopening of indirect talks on a more lasting and comprehensive deal.

Hamas is seeking an end to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade against Gaza, while Israel wants Hamas to dismantle its formidable arsenal of rockets and other weapons.

Palestinian negotiators accepted the proposal early Sunday after meet-

Israeli officials concurred later. Both delegations are back in Cairo.

Qais Abdelkarim, a member of the Palestinian delegation, said indirect talks with the Israelis would begin today “with the hope of reaching a lasting cease-fire.”

The goal, he added, was to end the blockade, which he called “the reason for the war.”

The recent fighting has been the heaviest between Israel and Hamas since Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007. More than 1,900 Palestinians have been killed, including hundreds of civilians. On the Israeli side, 67 people have been killed, including three civilians.

Nearly 10,000 people have been wounded and thousands of homes destroyed.

The fighting ended in a 3-day cease-fire last Tuesday. Egypt had hoped to use that truce to mediate a longterm deal. But when it expired, militants resumed their rocket fire, sparking Israeli reprisals.

The violence continued throughout the weekend, including a burst of fighting late Sunday ahead of the expected cease-fire.

The Israeli military reported some 30 rocket attacks from Gaza on Sunday. Palestinian medical officials said seven people were killed in Israeli airstrikes, including the bodyguard of a Hamas leader, the medical officials said.

Time for talking (almost) over

O

n Saturday night, my wife and I sat under a pavilion at the Carroll County Fair in Milledgeville, probably consuming enough greasy food to fuel a small forest fire.

I was decked out in my Northern Illinois cap and matching red MAC championship shirt. It’s about as close to looking like a fanboy as I get.

A few moments after taking our seat, a group of teenage boys sat at the other end of the picnic table. One them also wore an NIU cap, and I realized I knew him.

It took a second, because the last time I probably had talked to him, he was garbed in shoulder pads and cast a much more intimidating figure as the punishing running back for the Eastland-Pearl City Wildcatz.

His name is Eric Shaney, and it’s a name that area football fans are sure to remember. He helped the Wildcatz to an undefeated regular season in 2013.

The bad news for NUIC Northwest defenses is that they’ll have to spend 2014 trying to tackle Shaney again.

Shaney knew me on sight also, and he asked a question that I think I’ve been asked about 1,000 times over the last 2 weeks.

“Ready for football?”

At this point, I might as well tape my standard response.

“I better be.”

Mountain climbers from Morrison Prairie Ridge rallies down stretch to win Senior Rock River Classic

MOUNT MORRIS – Prairie Ridge had a bit of a mountain to climb if it was going to defend its championship in the Senior Men’s Rock River Classic golf tournament.

The Morrison golfers entered Sunday’s final round at Sunset Golf Course with an 18-point deficit against first-round leader Prophet Hills, which played the first 18 holes on its home course Saturday. It was a different story on Sunday.

Paced by overall runner-up Tom Houzenga, Prairie Ridge finished with a +154 bestagainst-bogey score, six more than Prophet Hills. The Prophetstown course was +86 after the first day, compared to +68 for Prairie Ridge.

“The guys came out today and knew they had a chance,” Houzenga said. “They kept it in play all day, got the points when they needed to, and wound up coming out on top. We caught them on the front nine, and closed it out on the back nine. It was an

“The first thing I said to myself was, ‘I’ve made it,’” Ross said. “Everything I ever worked for my entire life, it’s paid off. The next step is here, and I’m ready to take it.”

Ross said he “played great” in Las Vegas, and even though he didn’t end up signing with an Australian team, he and his agent pressed the flesh all throughout the week and made several new contacts.

Prophet Hills was a morethan-respectable +62 in the final round, but it wasn’t enough to hold off Prairie Ridge, which went +86 the final day.

“It was disappointing, because it had been a long time since we had been in contention,” Prophet Hills’ Leo Heaton said. “Just being in contention was enjoyable. Maybe next year, like the Cubs fans say.”

The overall medalist was Shady Oaks’ Jim Larkin, who finished with a two-round total of 3-over-par 145.

Nasty, then tragedy Confrontation results in racer’s death

BY JOHN WAWROW & DAN GELSTON !0 3PORTS 7RITERS

CANANDAIGUA, N.Y. – The collision was as common as any in racing. Kevin Ward Jr.’s car spun twice like a top, wheels hugging the wall, before it plopped backward on the dimly lit dirt track.

In a sport steeped with bravado, what happened next was another familiar, but treacherous, move: Wearing a black firesuit and black helmet, the 20-yearold Ward unbuckled himself, climbed out of the winged car into the night, and defiantly walked onto the track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park.

He gestured, making his disgust evident with the driver who triggered the wreck with a bump: three-time NASCAR champion Tony Stewart.

Ward, a relative unknown compared to NASCAR’s noted swashbuckler, was nearly hit by another passing car as he pointed with his right arm in Stewart’s direction. As he confronted Stewart in his passing car, disaster struck.

Ward was standing to the right of Stewart’s familiar No. 14 car, which seemed to fishtail from the rear and hit him. According to video and witness accounts, Ward’s body was sucked underneath the car and hurtled through the air before landing on his back as fans looked on in horror.

Ward was killed. Stewart, considered one of the most proficient drivers in racing, dropped out of Sunday’s NASCAR race at Watkins Glen, hours after Saturday’s crash.

And the sport was left reeling from a tragedy that could have ripple effects from the biggest stock car series down to weeknight dirt track racing. “There aren’t words

This July 5, 2014 photo shows sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr., in Victory Lane with his car at the Fulton Speedway in Fulton, N.Y. Ward was killed Saturday at the Canandaigua Motorsports Park in Central Square, N.Y., when the car being driven by Tony Stewart struck the 20-year-old. to describe the sadness I feel about the accident that took the life of Kevin Ward Jr.,� Stewart said in a statement.

Authorities questioned the 43-year-old Stewart once on Saturday night, and went to Watkins Glen to talk to him again Sunday. They described him as “visibly shaken� after the crash, and said he was cooperative.

On Sunday, Ontario County Sheriff Philip Povero said that investigators also don’t have any evidence at this point in the investigation to support criminal intent. But he also said that criminal charges have not been ruled out.

The crash raised several questions: Will Ward’s death cause drivers to think twice about on-track confrontations? Did Stewart try and send his own message by buzzing Ward, the young driver, only to have his risky move turn fatal? Or did Ward simply take his life into his own hands by stepping into traffic in a black firesuit on a dark track?

The only one who may have that answer is Stewart.

David S. Weinsten, a former state and federal prosecutor in Miami who is now in private practice, said it would be difficult to prove criminal intent. “I think even with the video, it’s going to be tough to prove that this was more than just an accident, and that it was even culpable negligence, which he should’ve known or should’ve believed that by getting close to this guy, that it was going to cause the accident,� he said.

The sheriff renewed a plea for spectators to turn over photos and videos of the crash.

Investigators were reconstructing the accident and looking into everything from the dim lighting on a portion of the track to how muddy it was, as well as if Ward’s dark firesuit played a role in his death, given the conditions.

Driver Cory Sparks, a friend of Ward’s, was a few cars back when Ward was killed. “The timing was unsafe,� he said of Ward’s decision to get out of his car to confront

Stewart. “When your adrenaline is going, and you’re taken out of a race, your emotions flare.�

It’s often just a part of racing. Drivers from mild-mannered Jeff Gordon to ladylike Danica Patrick have erupted in anger on the track at another driver. The confrontations are part of the sport’s allure: Fans love it, and cheer wildly from the stands. Stewart, who has a reputation for being a hothead nicknamed “Smoke,� once wound up like a pitcher and tossed his helmet like a fastball at Matt Kenseth’s windshield. “I’ve seen it many times in NASCAR, where a driver will confront the other one, and a lot of times they’ll try to speed past them. And that’s what it appeared to me as if what Tony Stewart did, he tried to speed past Ward,� witness Michael Messerly said. “And the next thing I could see, I didn’t see Ward any more. It just seemed like he was suddenly gone.�

Stewart only returned to sprint track racing last month.

Checkered past, checkered flag Once-suspended Allmendinger wins first Sprint Cup race

BY JOHN KEKIS !0 3PORTS 7RITER

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – AJ Allmendinger’s journey is almost complete.

With a new contract, sponsor extensions, and a solid one-car team at JTG Daugherty Racing, Allmendinger became a winner in Sprint Cup for the first time on a somber Sunday, outdueling Marcos Ambrose in the final two laps at Watkins Glen International. “I dreamed about this moment, and I’m not going to forget it,� said Allmendinger, making his 213th Cup start. “It’s just a dream come true.�

The day began on a solemn note when three-time Cup champion Tony Stewart pulled out of the race 12 hours after he struck and killed 20-year-old sprint car driver Kevin Ward Jr. in a race after Ward climbed from his car on a small dirt track in nearby Canandaigua.

It was the second straight time Stewart missed the race at The Glen, where he has a NASCAR-record five victories. Last year, he broke his leg in a sprint car accident in Iowa days before the Cup race, and missed the rest of the season.

Allmendinger’s life changed 2 years ago in the hours before the July race at Daytona International Speedway.

NASCAR officials had just kicked him out of the track, suspending Allmendinger indefinitely for failing a random drug test.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP EXTRA

3AUK 6ALLEY -EDIA s "

Fowler’s game flashier than his outfits L OUISVILLE, Ky. – There had only been four seasons in the history of major championship golf like the one Rickie Fowler capped off in near-darkness on the 18th green at Valhalla Golf Club.

The two men who posted the previous four are Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. That’s the kind of company every golfer aspires to. Both finished in the top five at the Masters, U.S. and British Opens, and the PGA Championship: Nicklaus in 1971 and 1973, and Woods in 2000 and 2005. Each came away with at least one trophy to show for the effort.

Fowler was the first to come that close in all four – he was a combined 32-under par – and leave empty-handed every time.

He didn’t need any time to name the emotion he felt most sharply. “Right now,� Fowler said, “the sting. I really felt like I could win this one.�

Someday, Fowler will look back on this PGA Championship – on the entire 2014 campaign, in fact – with pride, too. Just not any day soon. Gracious as he and playing partner Phil Mickelson were about the raindelayed, madcap finish, it may leave him wondering what might have

been. It resembled nothing so much as four pals going off to play in twosomes and mashing up on the final two holes so everybody gets in before the sun goes down.

Except this was a major championship. And it means the 25-year-old Fowler, a rising star finally gaining notice for his game as well as his outrageously colorful wardrobe, is still without a defining win. “In a way, we never got out of rhythm as far as hitting the golf shots. I don’t think it really changes it much. We were allowing them to hit the tee shots,�

Fowler paused, “and then weren’t expecting the approach shots to come.�

There’s the rub.

Take nothing away from eventual winner Rory McIlroy, who was coming off a win at Firestone last weekend, and the British Open last month. His birdie at Valhalla’s 17th

Rickie Fowler hits out of the bunker on the seventh hole during the final round of the PGA Championship on Sunday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. Fowler finished in the top 5 for a fourth straight major. hole effectively decided it fair and square. The 25-year-old Northern Irishman started the day leading by a shot, and held the same margin, at 16 under, at the end of a day in which five players handed around the lead like a game of hot potato. “Obviously, Rory played great this week, and he’s been a deserving champion the last three tournaments,� Fowler said. “He’s playing quite good

right now. Best player in the world hands down. “We’ll see,� Fowler added, a sly smile creasing his lips, “if we can sneak one away from him at some point.�

Fowler and Mickelson, who teed off just ahead of McIlroy, stayed in the thick of things until slipping back late. So did Henrik Stenson, with whom Fowler wound up tying for third.

Fowler was asked which

Strange finish doesn’t take away from victory LIGHTS

CONTINUED FROM B1

“I know that I can mix it up with the best players in the world down the stretch in a major and come out on top,� he said.

The final par – the easiest shot he faced all day – gave McIlroy a 3-under 68 to outlast Mickelson by a stroke, and beat the darkness that threatened to spoil this show. He became only the fourth player in the last century to win four majors at 25 or younger.

The others were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Bobby Jones, three of the game’s greatest players.

Boy Wonder appears on his way to belonging in that group. “I didn’t think in my wildest dreams I’d have a summer like this,� said McIlroy, only the seventh player to win the last two majors of the year. “I played the best golf of my life. I really gutted it out today.�

He finished at 16-under 268, the lowest score to win the PGA in 13 years.

But one of the greatest shows on soggy turf came with a most peculiar ending.

Three shots behind as he stood in the 10th fairway, McIlroy got back in the game with a 3-wood from 281 yards into 7 feet for eagle. He took the outright lead when all three of his challengers eventually made bogey, and finally gave himself some breathing room. With a 9-iron from a fairway bunker to 10 feet for birdie on the 17th, he took a two-shot

lead going to the par-5 closing hole.

Because of a 2-hour rain delay earlier, darkness was falling quickly, and it wasn’t certain McIlroy would be able to finish.

McIlroy was allowed to hit his tee shot before Mickelson and Fowler had reached their drives.

Both were only two shots behind, still in the game.

McIlroy came within a yard of hitting in a hazard right of the fairway.

Then, the PGA of America allowed McIlroy to hit his second shot. Mickelson and Fowler had to stand to the side of the green. “We were cool with hitting the tee shot,� Fowler said. “We weren’t expecting the approach shots.�

Fowler had a 50-foot eagle attempt to tie for the lead. He was well off the mark, and missed the short birdie putt attempt that cost him his third straight runner-up finish in a major.

Mickelson was short of the green, and his chip came within inches of dropping for an eagle that would have tied him for the lead.

Mickelson appeared upset that they had to wait to finish the hole – not standard procedure in a PGA Tour event – and he made two references in a TV interview that this is the only championship the PGA of America runs all year. “It didn’t affect the outcome of the championship at all, I don’t think,� Mickelson said. “It’s not what we normally do. It’s not a big deal either way.�

Mickelson closed with a 66, and was runner-up for the ninth time in a major.

Fowler became the first player in history to finish in the top five at all four majors without winning one. He closed with a 68, and tied for third with Stenson, who fell out of a share of the lead by missing a 3-foot par putt on the 14th hole.

Not since Woods in 2008 has anyone won three straight tournaments, and they were big ones – the British Open, a World Golf Championship and the PGA Championship.

McIlroy played them in a combined 48-under par. “He’s better than everyone else right now,�

Mickelson said.

shot he wanted back most. He didn’t need to think too hard about that answer, either. “The 9-iron on 17 out of the fairway,� he said. “I had a good number to the left pin [153 yards], and just didn’t catch it clean. ... I make birdie there and have a chance to make a 3 or 4 at the last, and it’s a different story. “That,� he said finally, “was kind of not the best swing at the wrong time.�

After that, the conversation veered toward whether Jordan Lynch could make the Bears, before we both went our separate ways.

It’s alway good to talk to athletes away from the actual athletic venue, and when I am not scribbling down notes during an interview.

It was also beneficial, because it gave me the boost I needed to write this column.

See, this will be my 10th school year since joining SVM, and it can get real easy to look at the start of the new season as nothing more than the beginning of a lot of work.

That’s when this job gets hard.

But Shaney provided the spark I’ve been looking for.

I am sure he and his teammates have big dreams. And without becoming too much of a fanboy again, or ignoring my responsibility to remain impartial, I do hope they reach those dreams.

Anthony Rizzo was responsible for two of Chicago’s 17 strikeouts Sunday. He also had the biggest hit of the game for the Cubs.

Rizzo hit a game-ending RBI single in the 12th inning, and the Cubs beat the Tampa Bay Rays 3-2 on Sunday at Wrigley Field to avoid a threegame sweep.

Last-place Chicago struck out 44 times in the weekend series, setting a team record for three consecutive games, but Rizzo and touted rookie Javier Baez had two hits apiece to key a 13-hit attack in the

finale. Carlos Villanueva (5-6) pitched a scoreless inning to earn the victory.

Baez struck out in the 12th, but reached on a wild pitch that moved Ryan Sweeney to third.

Baez moved to second on another wild pitch by Cesar Ramos (2-4) before Rizzo lined a single over a five-man infield and into right-center field.

Logan Morrison began a two-out rally for the Mariners in the second inning off Chicago’s John Danks (9-8) with a hard line drive single off the wall in right field. Infield singles by Chris Taylor and Jesus Sucre loaded the bases for Jackson.

A career .400 hitter against Danks, Jackson doubled down the left field line to give the M a r i n e r s 4 , W h i t e Mariners a 3-0 lead.

Houzenga wins 3-man playoff CLIMBERS

CONTINUED FROM B1

“I hit my driver pretty good,� Larkin said. “I hit it longer than I ever hit it – I don’t know what’s going on with that.

I was getting up and down today and yesterday if I missed something, but I was hitting a lot of greens. I played pretty good.�

Larkin’s best-against-bogey score was +33, but as medalist, he was ineligible to win the best-against-bogey trophy. That resulted in a playoff, which turned out to be somewhat bizarre, between Houzenga, Heaton, and Andersen, who were each +30.

On the first hole, Houzenga and Heaton hit good tee shots, while Andersen shanked one to the right, leading to a bogey on the par 4. Houzenga and Heaton both made pars, sending them to the second hole.

There, Heaton was just off the green in two shots, while Houzenga hit a poor chip shot to leave him on the fringe after three shots. Houzenga then drained a 30-footer for par, while Heaton made a 5-foot comebacker for par to extend the playoff.

On the third hole, Houzenga hooked his tee shot out of bounds to the left, but Heaton was unable to take advantage, as his tee shot went into the pine trees to the right. Both shots were out of bounds, so both players hit their third shots from the tee.

Houzenga hit another ball to the left, this time into a corn field, while Heaton striped one down the middle. Upon learning his second ball was also OB, Houzenga was ready to concede the hole, but the format for the playoff was best against bogey. Heaton still needed to make a bogey to win the playoff.

His fourth shot went on the green about 30 feet away, and he narrowly missed that to send the playoff to the fourth hole.

Heaton went first and put his tee shot on the 149-yard par 3 hole just short of the green. Houzenga followed with an 8-iron that never left the flag, leaving

Heaton nearly holed his chip, resulting in a conceded par. Houzenga then drained his birdie putt, worth two points and the win. Heaton got one point for his par. “I just threw it at the flag, and if it goes there, it goes there,� Houzenga said. “I was fortunate enough to hit a really nice shot, dropped it in there about 8 feet, and made the putt.�

Heaton ended up the First Flight winner. Also winning his flight for Prophet Hills was Tim Smith, who who took the Eighth Flight with a +26 total.

Prairie Ridge had a pair of flight winners in Tim Slavin (Third Flight, +25) and John Hudson (Fifth Flight, +23).

Emerald Hill, third in the team standings at +142, had a flight winner in John Wenk, who took the Fourth Flight at +28.

Sunset, fourth as a team at +130, had a pair of flight winners in Terry Severns (Sixth Flight, +23) and Ray Hawn (Seventh Flight, +17).

Shady Oaks, fifth as a team at +120, had a flight winner in John Klausen (Second Flight, +27).

Ross to continue career overseas DREAM

CONTINUED FROM B1

He had offers from a couple of pro teams in Germany on the table, and Ross felt sure he would sign with one of them. But contract negotiations didn’t work out, and things went back to square one.

That lasted all of a day.

Etha Engomis came calling the next morning, and the two sides agreed on a contract in short order. “Basketball officially became a job for me,�

Ross said, “but it doesn’t feel any different. I’m still going to be able to go out and play the game I love, and I’m going to play the best I can every second I’m on the court.�

Contracts for most players in European leagues run on a season-by-season basis, so Ross knows there’s a little bit of pressure to perform. But that’s nothing new for the 6-foot-8 forward, who helped Chicago State transition from the Great West to the more competitive WAC last season. “I know in the back of my mind, I’ll always be thinking about what

Etha Engomis’ season runs from September through February, at which point Ross may be transferred to another team in Greece to play 3 more months. After the season, he will see what the future holds.

But for now, he’s focused on finalizing his travel plans and getting acclimated to life – and basketball – in Cyprus ‌ and cherishing every moment of it. “I get to play basketball at the professional level, and not a lot of people can say that,â€? Ross said. “I’ve been doing this for years now, and I’ve gotten better and better everywhere I’ve been, and now I’m blessed to have another opportunity.â€?

Count your tricks, not your losses

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

When you are in a trump contract, you start by counting losers. But on some deals (I estimate around 20 percent), you do better to count winners.

So, in an ideal world, you count both before playing from the dummy at trick one.

South is in five clubs. What should he do after West leads the spade king?

North’s double was negative, promising four hearts.

South’s two-spade cue-bid was an artificial game-force.

Then probably either South should have bid three notrump over three clubs, or North should have cue-bid three spades over three diamonds to ask his partner to bid three no-trump with a spade stopper.

Note, though, that to make three no-trump, declarer must win four club tricks.

And after his ace drops West’s jack, the percentage

play is to finesse East for the queen.

In five clubs, though, South can get home without guessing the trump suit.

Suppose he wins the first trick with his spade ace and cashes his two top trumps.

Now he must collect these 11 tricks: one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs.

Declarer cashes his top diamonds, ruffs a diamond in the dummy, takes the heart ace and king, trumps a heart in his hand, and ruffs his last diamond. That is 10 tricks in. And when South leads dummy’s last heart, he must collect one more trump trick with his nine via a coup en passant. If East ruffs low, South overruffs; if East ruffs with his queen, South discards a spade loser and his club nine is then high. © 2014 UFS

Astrograph Be Assertive Monday, August 11, 2014 If you have faith and confidence, you will be able to handle all the demands and responsibilities you face. Expecting too much from others will not give you the rewards you are seeking. Believe that you can make a difference, and others will believe in you too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Don’t lag when it comes to important paperwork. You will find shortcuts as well as interesting options that will be beneficial legally, financially or contractually. Channel your energy wisely.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Emotionally charged issues will develop if you are overly sensitive to what others say.

Seek an objective opinion from someone you trust. Getting the facts straight will eliminate misunderstandings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Continue moving forward.

You will gain satisfaction if you complete unfinished business.

Enlist help from people who have the means and knowledge to help you reach your goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Travel will give you insight into a dilemma. A financial investment isn’t likely to turn in your favor. You can make headway if you keep your plans a secret.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be assertive. You can get what you want if you are persistent. You need to make your voice heard if you wish to win support for your latest venture.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Letting criticism get to you will cause you to doubt your abilities. Someone with an ulterior motive will try to prevent you from getting ahead. Put what you have to offer on display.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Money is in the picture.

A contract, gift, settlement or financial opportunity is present.

Use this chance to make an advantageous move. Present and promote an idea to someone influential.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may end up as a mediator during a family disagreement.

Be diplomatic and try to find a solution that everyone can be happy with. Now is not the time to take sides.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Someone is likely to disappoint you. Don’t let anything get you down. Present your plans in order to make progress. Help will arrive from an unexpected source.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Maintain focus, or you could be sidelined by someone trying to manipulate you. It’s important to highlight your strong points when marketing your assets.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You will face some delays and frustrations. Don’t give in -- an alternative route will get you where you want to go. It’s the journey, not the destination, that counts.
