Chicago police vehicles while in the car, and two officers fired at him while he was in the car, authorities said. O’Neal fled from the scene, police said, and a third officer chased him behind a home and fatally shot him.

O’Neal, who was unarmed, died of a gunshot wound to the back, authorities said.

Three officers who discharged their guns, including the officer who shot and killed O’Neal, were relieved of their police powers within 48 hours of the shooting, pending an investigation by the Independent Police Review Authority, the city agency that probes shootings involving Chicago cops.

The video footage shows apparent procedural errors by Chicago police, including officers firing at a fleeing vehicle with others in harm’s way. There was also an admission by the officer who believed he fired the fatal shot that he had no idea whether the 18-yearold was armed. “A lot of people are upset by what they saw,�

Johnson said Saturday. “And quite honestly they have a right to be upset.�

Students learn to grow Camp not only teaches kids about horticulture, but job skills, too

Farming hasn’t caught up yet to the growing craft beer craze Tylan Leggions, right, prepares to do some planting with Instructor Cheri Fulk on July 6 during Camp EARTH at MacArthur High School in Decatur. The camp uses horticulture to give students vocational training and experiences they would not normally have.

Jim Bowling/Herald & Review via AP Exchange

purchases the service from Independence Pointe, a division of Macon Resources Inc. “We’re trying to teach skills to help them in life when they get employment and become more independent,” Brown said.

Based at MacArthur High School, where campers eat breakfast and lunch, the camp is divided into seven groups of two staff members and six students who go around Decatur improving and maintaining landscapes and planters at many public schools, businesses and elsewhere.

Field trips on Fridays are part of the schedule, too.

“We get around,” said Thomas Taylor, a Camp EARTH coordinator who’s been with the program from the beginning. “We’re one of the best-kept secrets in the city.”

Vocational training taught by Janette Taylor covers such

topics as how to dress for work. “It means no booty shorts,” said Joseph Arreaza-Muyuz, 17, another student at MacArthur.

Hands went up every time she asked someone to read the next question aloud, including the hands of those who had trouble doing so.

“Nice reading, Jermaine,” Thomas Taylor said after Jermaine Woodfork, 18, a student at MacArthur, completed a passage about the importance of being a team player.

Helen Perkins, 20, a student at MacArthur, volunteered during a discussion about possible careers she wants to pursue, including a wedding planner. She has been coming to Camp EARTH since she was 14.

Jermaine Hunter, 17, now in his second year at camp, said that before he went, he thought it would be boring, but he likes it now that he feels he’s gotten

good at gardening.

“I learned not to kill plants,” he said. “I used to cut the roots and messed it up a lot.”

The students aren’t the only ones who benefit from the camp.

Each group of campers also adopts “grandparents” and helps them beautify their yards.

Delores Hack, 78, is among them and said she’s been especially thankful to have the extra “grandchildren” since losing her husband, Bennie, in January.

“I love flowers, but I’m not one to dig in the ground,” Hack said.

“They’re really friendly kids, and I look forward to seeing them.”

She also likes sitting out on her porch early in the morning when the weather’s nice, admiring her hanging baskets and planters filled with flowers.

“It’s just me, a cup of coffee, my newspaper and my flowers,” she said. “I love it.”

CHICAGO (AP) – The hop-farming craze has yet to fully take root in Illinois, even though Chicago’s craft beer scene is rich and growing.

Michigan will have planted more than 800 acres of the crop by the end of 2016, while Illinois grows only 30 acres of hops.

Hop farms have popped up throughout the Midwest as the craft brewing trend has increased the demand for the crop, which is used to flavor certain styles.

But unlike in Michigan, there’s no state university-coordinated effort to break down potential business barriers. There’s also no research underway to give Illinois farmers a competitive edge by determining the best varieties of hops to grow.

Additionally, hop farming yields more revenue per acre than commodities, but it requires significant investment to begin.

“There’s a hesitancy to invest in the land itself when we’re not in a proven market,” said Rich Hauser, president of Bier Blume Farms in Lena.

“So we’re trying to prove the market and show that we’re producing highquality hops and that people want them.”

In its third growing season, Hauser said the farm expects to harvest about 3,000 pounds of hops from 3 acres of land, all of which will be sold to local breweries.

Hauser said his future plans include expanding the farm to more than 40 acres and forming partnerships with Chicago brewpubs.

In general, it’s still less expensive for a Chicago brewery to purchase hops from bigger markets than Illinois.

‘‘

We’re trying to prove the market and show that we’re producing high-quality hops and that people want them.

’’

Rich Hauser, president of Bier Blume Farms, Lena

“That’s the big issue,” said Quintin Cole, co-founder of Vice District Brewing in Chicago. “The local farmers tend to grow more popular strains [of hops] that, unfortunately, we can get cheaper elsewhere.”

Hauser and Cole both said they’ve had preliminary discussions but haven’t reached an agreement yet.

DECATUR (AP) – Of the half-dozen teenagers who crowd around a planter stationed at a south door to MacArthur High School, Victoria Dickson is the one who’s really down to earth.

“We need more soil,” she announced matterof-factly while other students were busy putting zinnias and coleus into the pot and asking their teacher how they look.

Directing her next comment to Christian Flinn, 15, so he’ll give her some room, she said, “I want to put some more handfuls in.”

Victoria, 15, is one of 42 participants in Camp EARTH (Education, Avocation, Recreation Through Horticulture), a 6-week summer day camp for Decatur public school special-education students ages 14 to 21, which is wrapping up its 24th year.

A first-time camper, Victoria is a MacArthur student who hopes to become a zoologist one day.

“I’m actually making a lot of friends, and I’m usually not that social,” she said. “It’s also making me more tolerant of being outside, even though the sun and the insects annoy me.

“Sometimes zoologists have to stay outside for long periods of time, working with the animals.”

Lori Brown, director of Independence Pointe, said the purpose of Camp EARTH is to give students vocational training and experiences they would not normally have.

Police can now Young adults open to gun control carry life-saving allergy medicine POLL

CHICAGO (AP) – LaShun Roy supports a ban on semi-automatic weapons and more comprehensive background checks. But the 21-yearold gun owner from rural Texas doesn’t consider gun-control measures a top priority in this year’s elections.

For Keionna Cottrell, a 24-year-old who lives on Chicago’s South Side and whose brother was shot and killed this year in another Illinois city, few things are more important than limiting access to guns.

Although their lives and experiences differ, the young women’s shared support for additional policies to curb gun violence reflect the feelings of many Americans between the ages of 18 and 30, regardless of their backgrounds, according to a new GenForward poll.

About 9 in 10 young adults say they support criminal background checks for all gun sales, a level of support that remains consistent across racial and ethnic groups. Stiffer penalties for violating existing gun laws are supported by 9 in 10 young adults, including about 9 in 10 whites, Asian-Americans and Latinos, as well as 8 in 10 African-Americans.

Fifty-seven percent of young Americans support a ban on semi-automatic weapons, with

GenForward is a survey by the Black Youth Project at the University of Chicago with the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

to handle assault rifles while serving in the National Guard, said it’s possible to protect the rights of gun owners and implement safeguards. That puts her among the 54 percent of young adults – including 61 percent of AsianAmericans, 57 percent of African-Americans and 52 percent of Latinos and whites – who say laws limiting gun ownership do not infringe on the public’s right to bear arms.

“I think it’s important

to make sure the government isn’t going door to door saying, ‘Let me see your guns and ammo,’” said Roy, who is black.

“But I think it’s really important to have background checks ... and make sure a felon can’t get a gun.”

The poll underscores the differences in young Americans’ personal experiences, which they say helped shape their attitudes toward guns.

More than a third of African-Americans – 37 percent – and nearly a quarter of Latinos say they or someone they know has experienced gun violence in the last year, compared to only 12 percent of whites or Asian-Americans.

Fifty-nine percent of young adults overall say they think owning a gun does more to protect a person from being a crime victim, including nearly two-thirds of young whites, almost 6 in 10 Latinos and a slim majority of AfricanAmericans.

Roy, the Texas college student, said there always has been a rifle in her family’s home for self-defense, but she still believes guns pose a greater threat to most owners than criminals do.

“A lot goes into handling one safely,” she said. “And a lot can go wrong if you don’t know what you’re doing.”

“Safety is No. 1, even if you don’t own guns,” Butler said.

Rock Falls resident Debby Hughes, who attended Sunday’s session, said that with a gun in her house, she wants to make sure that her 10 grandchildren know how to be safe.

“Too many children are being shot accidentally,” she said. “I don’t want to see any of them become another statistic.”

Hughes said she is thinking of joining the local Well Armed Woman club and learning more about gun safety.

“If I can teach myself, then I can educate my children and grandchildren,” she said.

Rich VanAusdoll, president of the Sinnissippi Rod and Gun Club and a member of the Armed Responsible Citizens safety group, said the only way someone can be hurt by an accidental discharge is if the gun is being pointed at someone and the trigger is

“By following these two simple rules, no one can get hurt,” he said.

VanAusdoll said it’s also important for parents to know how to safely handle the weapon in case their children bring them a gun.

“If you don’t know how to be safe, how do you expect to teach your kids?” he asked.

NEW LAWS

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

The measure was one of dozens of bills Rauner acted on while on vacation with family in Montana.

Another bill approved

by Rauner would allow police to carry epinephrine auto-injectors to help those having severe allergic reactions. The measure is named after Annie LeGere, a 13-yearold from Elmhurst who died after having a severe allergic reaction at a sleepover.

The girl’s mother, Shelly LeGere, made it her mission to equip first responders, saying the outcome for her daughter could have been different if the police officer who first came to the scene was allowed to carry the injectors.

Other new laws would create a special license plate that would raise funds to develop habitat areas for the monarch butterfly, which has had its numbers dwindle in recent years; and allow grocery stores to consolidate cartons of eggs.

Previously, if one egg in a dozen was cracked, the whole carton had to be thrown out.

Rauner vetoed legislation that would have eased residency requirements for students seeking to run for student trustee at the University of Illinois. Current law requires students prove residence in Illinois for at least 6 months, have a valid driver’s license and be registered to vote in Illinois.

The legislation rejected

by Rauner would have changed requirements so students would have to meet only one of those factors to be eligible to run. The proposed change was inspired by a student who wanted to run but could not prove he was registered to vote in Illinois. But Rauner said the proposal “goes too far in eroding the residency requirement.”

“The University of Illinois is a public institution supported by Illinois taxpayers, and therefore in-state student representation on its Board of Trustees should be a priority,” Rauner said in his veto message. “Student trustees have the authority to influence decisions with lasting effects on the University and Illinois taxpayers, so it is therefore important to ensure that student trustees are residents of Illinois.”

Sponsoring Sen. Iris Martinez, D-Chicago, said she was disappointed by Rauner’s veto.

“College is about helping students grow inside and outside of the classroom, and it should not be difficult for a student to be allowed to run for a leadership position at their university,” Martinez said in a statement. “The governor had a chance to open up opportunities to students, but he unfortunately chose not to do so.”

The governor also used his veto pen on a proposal aimed at helping the bottom line for Cook County when it uses private debt collectors to collect delinquent taxes and fees, such as tobacco taxes that went unpaid, or funds from a bad check.

As it stands, debt collectors charge the county fees on that debt, which is passed on to taxpayers.

The proposal was aimed at allowing the county to ensure the scofflaw pays that fee, not the county.

Rauner said he could not sign the bill because it would add a further burden to homeowners struggling with high property taxes. But supporters said the legislation was not intended to apply to the collection of property taxes. A spokesman for Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle, who backed the bill, said officials will study Rauner’s veto message before determining any next steps.

WASHINGTON – Imagine a political thriller in which the Republican candidate for president of the United States is in cahoots with a Russian dictator.

Sound preposterous?

Oh wait! It’s really happening.

Donald Trump says he admires Vladimir Putin’s leadership. Trump must not know that Putin rigged the Olympic Games, doping Russian athletes so they’d win medals in Sochi in 2014.

Trump must not know Putin was a KGB leader who ordered state police to trample human rights.

Trump must not know that Putin critics have been killed and locked up in prison.

Trump must not know that hundreds of billions of dollars have disappeared from the coffers of Russia, one of the most corrupt countries on earth.

Or maybe Trump does possess all that common knowledge and doesn’t care.

Trump had the Republican platform changed so that it no longer admonishes Russia to not take over neighboring Ukraine by force. Trump apparently did not understand that Russia already took Crimea.

Trump moved the Miss Universe pageant to Russia.

Trump has tried for years to make money by building hotels and golf courses and resorts in Russia. He deplored Hillary Clinton’s “terrible relations” with Russia.

Trump wants to get rid of NATO or weaken it so it is no longer the countervailing force against Russian aggression in Eastern Europe. Funny. That’s Putin’s goal, too.

AFTER UNITED STATES intelligence groups all but proved Russia hacked into Democratic National Committee computers, Trump urged the Russians to keep spying on his opponent and disclose her emails. He’s charming when being sarcastic.

Trump boasted for years that he had a “good relationship” with Putin and that they were very nice to each other. Apparently, they met in the green room waiting to be interviewed on CBS’ “60 Minutes.” But now Trump says he never had a relationship with Putin, never met the man.

Although he also said, “It depends what you mean by relationship.”

When a veteran gave Trump his Purple Heart, which is awarded for being injured or killed in battle, Trump gleefully took it, played with it and said, “I always wanted a Purple Heart,” before pocketing it, noting that was the

easy way to get one. Note: Nobody awarded the Purple Heart or given one on behalf of a fallen relative wanted it.

After Trump insulted the Gold Star father and mother who spoke at the Democratic convention about their Muslim son who died in battle for America, he refused to apologize. He doubled down and insisted he, too, had sacrificed in creating his multibillion-dollar business. All those late nights! Trump also happily benefited from money intended for 9/11 victims.

WHEN TRUMP learned it would be unconstitutional to ban Muslims from the United States because of their religion, he said he’d do it anyway. He shrugged when he was told it would be physically impossible to build a wall on the border with Mexico. Something should be done with all that wasted concrete from his defunct Atlantic City casinos.

When Trump was asked about multiple sexual harassment charges leading to the resignation of his friend Roger Ailes from Fox News, Trump said that if his daughter were subjected to such a thing, he would hope she would change her career or leave the company.

President Barack Obama took the unprecedented step of saying that Trump is not fit to hold the office of president. Obama wasn’t talking about his differences with Trump on issues.

He was talking about Trump’s thin skin, lack of common decency and poor judgment. Of course, somebody could take away Trump’s smartphone.

People who still fervently support Trump either don’t understand his pathological personal problems and innate insecurity, are willingly ignoring the values that made and keep this country great, or admire his top priority: “Trump first, last and always.”

A vote for Trump in November would give the world’s most powerful job to a petty man without respect for the Constitution. It would reward a blow-hard who has suggested it might be necessary to use nuclear weapons.

Few Germans in the turbulent post-war 1930s comprehended the consequences of putting Adolf Hitler in power.

Trump supporters have no excuse.

Putin has his fingers crossed.

Son’s girlfriend is no friend of dad’s Dear Abby, I have been with my boyfriend, “Jake,” for a year and a half. To put it mildly, his dad does not like me. He has never thought I was good enough for his son, and he doesn’t like the fact that I have a daughter from an earlier relationship. He thinks I’m interested in Jake only for his money, even though I work a full-time job and Jake and I share everything equally, except my daughter’s expenses. I pay for those myself.

When Jake and I attend family gatherings for holidays or birthdays, his dad refuses to say hello to me.

He does, however, make derogatory or negative remarks about me to Jake.

It’s incredibly hurtful and demeaning.

dearABBY Abigail Van Buren’s (Jeanne Phillips) column appears during the week through Universal Press Syndicate.

I have tried bringing it up to Jake, and he agrees.

But he will not address it with his dad because “Dad won’t change.” Can you help?

– Disliked in Massachusetts Dear Disliked, I don’t know how serious Jake is about you, but if he was in love with you

and planned on marrying you, he would insist that, at the very least, his father treat you with respect.

Dad won’t change because his son isn’t assertive enough to make plain that if he doesn’t, he will be seeing less of the both of you. I can only hope that your child isn’t on the receiving end of this kind of treatment, because if that’s happening – for both of your sakes – I’m advising you to end the romance with Jake.

Dear Abby, I have been married to the love of my life for 21 years. He has helped me raise my two children to adulthood. Both have now moved away and have their own lives.

My problem started a

year and a half ago, when my grandson was born.

I live 750 miles from my daughter and her little boy, and have a standing invitation to see them as often as I want (every 3 to 4 months). It makes more sense for me to travel to see them than the reverse.

I have always invited my husband to come with me, but he refuses. He has now given me an ultimatum: I can see them no more than twice a year or he will divorce me. What do you say, Abby?

– Dumbstruck in Maine Dear Dumbstruck, I say you have three choices – either work this out with the help of a marriage counselor, see your daughter and grandson only twice a

year or start talking to a lawyer. I have a strong hunch there’s more going on here than you have revealed in your letter – and whether your husband agrees to counseling, you should go.

Dear Abby, I am an older woman who has been dating a very nice man for approximately 7 months.

I’m fashionable and take pride in my appearance.

While my friend is clean and neat, he wears a baseball cap with all of his clothes – even his dress suits. I bought him a nice cap once and he was offended, so I returned it to the store.

Since he is good in so many ways, should I ignore this one quirk? I’d love to see him without

the baseball cap when we go out.

– Fashionable in Pennsylvania Dear Fashionable, Have you tried asking him why he does this? Your friend might wear baseball caps because he’s bald or has thinning hair and is self-conscious about it. (Many men are.) If this gentleman has only one quirk that bothers you, you might be wise to consider that his attire is a reflection on himself and not you.

Crime pays at theaters ‘Suicide Squad’ draws big bucks NEW YORK (AP) – The supervillain romp “Suicide Squad” shrugged off scathing reviews to open with an estimated $135.1 million in North American ticket sales, scoring one of the year’s biggest box-office debuts.

Pressure had risen on the performance of the Warner Bros. film, directed by David Ayer, following the studio’s previous poorly received DC Comics film, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.” But “Suicide Squad” proved a massive draw despite its muchderided lead-in. It set a record for an August opening, easily besting Marvel’s 2014 hit “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

Not everything was roses for “Suicide Squad,” though, despite dominating the weekend. After fans flocked to theaters on Thursday night and Friday, audiences dropped steeply on Saturday. That could forecast further sharp declines in coming weeks for the $175 million film.

“Suicide Squad,” starring Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Jared Leto, went into reshoots after the disappointment of “Batman v Superman,” and its marketing got a more comic, punk vibe that clicked with fans. But the film was derided as a mess by critics, and others questioned the movie’s PG-13 rating considering how violent it was.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore.

1. “Suicide Squad,” $135.1 million.

2. “Jason Bourne,” $22.7 million.

3. “Bad Moms,” $14.2 million.

4. “The Secret Life of Pets,” $11.6 million.

5. “Star Trek Beyond,” $10.2 million.

Defensive roller continues to rotate

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Stewart Brand, a writer who lives on a tugboat in Sausalito, California, and works on a nearby boat, said, “Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.”

By the end of this week, you might feel that a defensive steamroller has run over you, after we look at more deals in which your job is to flatten declarer.

In today’s deal, look at the East hand. South opens one no-trump, West passes, and North responds two clubs, Stayman.

What should East do, if anything?

South rebids two spades, West passes, and North raises to four spades. After

West leads the club eight, how should East plan the defense?

When North uses Stayman, East should double to show good clubs. East should know that partner never finds

the best opening lead after an uncontested auction, so he should take the opportunity to help his partner.

East wins the first trick with the club queen and cashes two more winners in the suit, West discarding the diamond two. What should East do now?

First, East should check the points. Dummy has 10, East has 13, and South 1517. That leaves West with at most two – he cannot have a red-suit winner. The only chance is to gain a trump trick. East must lead a fourth club. If West has the spade eight or nine, his ruff will effect an uppercut. Dummy overruffs, but East now collects a trump trick by covering either honor when it is led from the dummy. Also, note that it doesn’t help South to ruff with his spade nine. © 2016 UFS

ILLINOIS | STATE FAIR

State forced to He’s pitching for Illinois now ask a fair price How does a former Pittsburgh Pirate come to run a state fair? Don’t ask him Tribune News Service

Prices go up, fees added at state’s premier ag event SPRINGFIELD (AP) – The state budget mess has come home to roost at the Illinois State Fair, where some admission prices are up 40 percent and, for the first time, the preview night isn’t free.

Admission to Aug. 11’s preview night is $5 – half the normal admission – but fair officials have gussied it up with grandstand entertainment and a free concert by some of the 1985 champion Chicago Bears.

The gate cost for Aug. 12-20 is $10, up from $7 last year. But seniors pay the same $3 fee and children to age 12 are free.

Previously, kids had to be 5 or younger to get in free.

“In today’s fiscal climate, it’s very difficult to give something away for free,” state fair manager Kevin Gordon said of the new preview-night charge. Admission also will be $5 on the last day

Online

Illinois State Fair: illinois.gov/statefair of the fair, Aug. 21.

The fair, which serves as the state’s agricultural showcase, is more than 160 years old and will have new carnival rides, new and even more exotic food items and a “brew garden” featuring craft beers. Serving as grand marshals on the preview day’s Twilight Parade are Dan Hampton, Otis Wilson and Steve McMichael – all part of the 1985 Bears and known as The Chicago 6, which will perform at the Grandstand.

The Grandstand once again will pack more talent, including classic rockers Pat Benatar, Kiss and ZZ Top; country favorites Dierks Bentley and Little Big Town; and modern stars Meghan Trainor and Volbeat.

Among the wilder food debuts: Turtle funnel cakes, island-style beef skewers and something called Fried Funny Bones – even fair officials don’t know what they are.

One of Kevin Gordon’s biggest claims to fame is getting to play professional baseball as a young man.

He was a 23rd round draft pick out of Eastern Illinois University in 1983, and he played as a pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

During his career as a pro ball player, he got to play with some well-known players: Barry Bonds and John Smiley, just to name a few.

Now, 28 years later, Gordon is the manager for the Illinois State Fair.

So, how does someone go from a pro baseball career to being in charge of the premier agricultural event in Illinois?

“I have no idea,” Gordon laughed.

Agriculture roots As a young boy growing up in Morris – a small town an hour and a half outside of Chicago – he spent his days working on farms around the town.

He baled hay and he walked beans as his main form of income as a child.

But even though he had strong ties to agriculture

from his youth, he’d never been to the Illinois State Fair until he was an Kevin adult.

Gordon The first time he went to the fair was in 1987. He went with his wife, a native Springfieldian.

“I loved it,” he said, remembering his first trip to the state fair. “Just the atmosphere and everything else.”

After he left his baseball career, he went to work for the state with Central Management Services.

He ran a state employee program for wellness, focusing on volleyball leagues and basketball leagues and smoking cessation programs.

Then, in 2000, he went to work in the Department of Agriculture, where he became the assistant state fair manager. He was promoted earlier this year and stepped to the plate, managing both state fairs in Springfield and DuQuoin.

And though Gordon’s

had 16 years of experience planning the state fair, it’s still been a huge job, managing both fairs.

“I’ve had people say, ‘Well, you only work 10 days a year!’” he said.

“Well, I wish that was the case. I think once January rolls around, it’s 10 to 15 hours a day here.”

Favorite features Since last year, the state fair has made a concentrated effort to return to its agricultural roots, hoping to bring emphasis to the state’s No. 1 industry.

This year, the push is continuing, but Gordon’s also planned a few other fun activities. One of the new features this year is a karaoke contest. Eight different county fairs held karaoke competitions, and the winners and runners up in the fairs will go on to compete in the state contest. The winner contest will get to perform before Little Big Town at the Illinois State Fair grandstand.

Inspired by a statewide karaoke contest at Country Concert in Ohio, Gordon wanted to bring it to Illinois.

“What I did was take that, copy it, tweak it a little bit,” he said.

Preview day at the fair also is going to be a little different. For the first time, it will cost $5 to get into the fair on preview day, but it will also include an actual preview at the Grandstand, which will include the hypnotist, the Zulu African Acrobats and the Chicago Six, performing classic rock. The show at the Grandstand will be free.

“What I’ve always wanted to do is do something on the Thursday night,” he said.

But some of Gordon’s favorite events are tried and true attractions: including the chili contest.

“For the last – I don’t know how many years – I’ve been allowed to judge the chili contest on the last Sunday,” he said. “I’ll taste 72 different kinds of chili, and the one I really like, I’ll stick around to the very end and I’ll make them give me the bucket of what’s left.

“I always look forward to that last Sunday,” he said.

OGLE COUNTY: HAMMER IN

History in the making in Grand Detour Jim Handzel of Palantine hammers out a dish during the Hammer In blacksmith demonstration Sunday. Dozens of blacksmiths gathered in Grand Detour over the weekend for the event to celebrate blacksmiths’ history and trade in the city that helped give birth to one of the world’s largest ag companies – one that was born when John Deere forged the first commercially successful steel plow in 1837. The theme of this year’s Hammer In – “Come to the Other Side of the Anvil” – reflected organizers’ desire to give visitors a hands-on experience, allowing people 12 and older to take a hammer in hand and forge their own piece of iron work, with help from Upper Midwest Blacksmith Association members. The blacksmiths also demonstrated their craft and sold their work – but they weren’t the only ones showing off their hand-crafted skills. Basket weavers, broom makers, trappers, wheelwrights and woodwrights were also on hand, showing visitors their trade. Proceeds from the auction will be divided between the Upper Midwest Blacksmith and Illinois Valley Blacksmith associations – both event sponsors – for scholarship programs.

Wolf comes up aces on Sunday Erie native notches hole-in-one; Sunset’s Aken wins medalist

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5550 @pm222

SUBLETTE – By the time the sun sunk behind the trees, Jordan Wolf had shrugged his shoulders more times than he could count.

Wolf, a 2005 graduate of Erie High School, was the talk of the Rock River Classic on Sunday when he finished his round with an ace on No. 9 at Shady Oaks.

Spectators perched in golf carts above the green let out a load roar when the ball disappeared into the hole. And as news of his shot made its way across the course, Wolf was the man everyone wanted to see.

Top 3 teams 1. Shady Oaks +17 2. Sunset +7 3. Sandburr Run +5 Medalist: Scott Aken, Sunset, 143 Best Against Bogey: Jim Larkin, Shady Oaks, +14 His light blue shirt contrasted with the color of red his face would turn when asked to re-tell the story. He thanked many who shook his hand in a quiet voice, and stood near the back of the crowd when final scores were being read aloud.

On the inside, however, he was glowing.

“It was a really good feel-

ing,” he said. “I had no idea that was going to happen once I hit it. The green was sloped so I couldn’t really see, then I heard someone yell ‘It’s in!’ It was cool.”

He used an 8-iron and put his ball several feet above the hole, only to have it roll backward and into the hole. It was the second hole-in-one of his career, with the first coming during his sophomore year at Erie while playing a postseason round in Byron.

His ace capped off a remarkable finish. Wolf didn’t even need to pull his putter out of his bag over his final two holes.

He chipped in for birdie Alex T.

A-Rod done Friday Yankees to release Rodriguez Aug. 12

Brett Favre poses with his bust during the enshrinement ceremony at the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday in Canton, Ohio.

Favre feted in Canton

NEW YORK – Ready or not, Alex Rodriguez will play his final game in pinstripes this week.

One of the most prolific hitters and polarizing figures in baseball history, the slumping slugger plans to take his final turn atbat with the New York Yankees this week, and then become a special adviser and instructor with the team next year.

A-Rod and the club made the announcement before Sunday’s game against Cleveland.

“This is a tough day. I love this game and I love this team,” he said, often choking up. “And today I’m saying goodbye to both.”

The 41-year-old Rodriguez, who sat out the 2014 season while serving a performanceenhancing drug suspension, will play against Tampa Bay at Yankee Stadium on Friday night

and then be released. New York will pay him the remainder of the approximately $27 million he’s owed as part of his $275 million, 10-year contract.

Rodriguez said the agreement arose out of conversations over the past few days with Yankees Managing General Partner Hal Steinbrenner. The two met face-to-face more than once, and A-Rod said he asked for one more chance to play in front of the Yankee Stadium crowd.

Relegated to little more than a spare part lately, the three-time AL MVP acknowledged “the last 4 weeks have not been fun.”

“It’s been very painful and embarrassing to sit on the bench. It’s been awkward,” Rodriguez explained.

But he made it clear he still thinks he could contribute on the field.

Hall of Fame ceremony feels like Lambeau East

CANTON, Ohio – They came in No. 4 jerseys and wearing cheeseheads. They chanted “Go Pack Go.” It was Lambeau Field transported to Ohio, and only one man could have caused it.

Brett Favre, welcome to the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

“Believe me, I am an extremely blessed man,” Favre said Saturday night during an emotional speech spiced with humor and playfulness. “Play a game that I love so much for 20 years, to have all the wonderful things happen ... to

Sports inside

share in that joy with you guys here tonight.”

And when he choked up talking about his late father, Irv, and how Favre spent his career “trying to redeem myself” to make Irv proud, the crowd offered loud and comforting support.

Adding that “this is tougher than any third-and-15,” he spoke of his new goal once his father died in 2003: “I said to myself, I will make it to the Hall of Fame so I could acknowledge the fact of how important he was. I would not be here before you today without my father, there’s no doubt whatsoever.”

Football’s most durable quarterback (a record 299 straight regular-season starts, and 321 including playoffs) and one of its greatest passers, Favre was the first three-time MVP (199597) and an NFL champion in 1996. He played with four teams, defining toughness and fortitude, particularly in 16 seasons with the Packers, a franchise he helped revitalize.

A swashbuckler with no fear on the field, Favre threw an NFL-high 336 interceptions in addition to completing 6,300 passes for 71,838 yards and 508 touchdowns.

Bad news for Bears Grasu carted off field with serious knee injury

On the calendar Local events

Today

BY KEVIN FISHBAIN Shaw Media

CHICAGO – Hroniss Grasu suffered a non-contact injury to his right knee that John Fox referred to as appearing to look “fairly serious” during Saturday’s practice at Soldier Field.

“He was changing direction and it didn’t go well, so we’ll see the extent of it as we go,” Fox said.

But as the team continued to evaluate Grasu on Sunday, the Bears fear they may have lost Grasu to a season-ending ACL tear.

The injury occurred right in front of Fox at the end of a play during team drills. Grasu was helped off the field and eventually carted to the locker room. Jay Cutler spent time talking to the second-year center before Grasu was taken in.

The Soldier Field surface did not appear to be in ideal condition.

“You can’t really blame everything on the field,” said Akiem Hicks, who added that it seemed in the “same condition” as his previous experiences playing in Chicago.

Grasu has manned the starting center role throughout the spring and training camp. The 2015 thirdround pick out of Oregon started eight games as a rookie. He had added weight during the offseason and gotten up to 310 pounds.

“I think he’s done a fabulous job, and I do believe in him.

Probably every single day he was doing something to help him be a better football player,” Cutler said Wednesday about Grasu.

“That’s just the type of football player he is. He doesn’t want to let anybody down out there, and

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (left) talks with center Hroniss Grasu during a practice last week. Grasu was carted off the field on Saturday with knee injury that is likely a season-ending ACL tear.

I’m really happy with where he’s at. I know the coaches are really happy with where he’s at. He’s continuing to get better and better as a player.”

The Bears could move guard Ted Larsen to the first-team center role in between Kyle Long and Cody Whitehair. Larsen has taken reps at center with the third team during camp, and has 10 career starts at the position in his career.

Whitehair is another option.

The No. 2 center during camp has been Cornelius Edison, an undrafted player who spent most of 2015 with the practice squad.

Also on the injury front, Alshon Jeffery did not practice Saturday because of a hamstring strain, while Eddie Royal and Zach Miller were present at practice but did not participate due to concussions.

Dungy thanks those who came before him FETED

CONTINUED FROM B1

t Favre was a three-time All-Pro and made 11 Pro Bowls. His enthusiasm and love for the game marked his career, which began in Atlanta in 1991 and ended with the Vikings in 2010. He spent 2008 with the Jets.

And he just might not be done.

“I am going to ask Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson to let me play the first series [Sunday],” Favre joked, referring to the Hall of Fame game between the Packers and the Colts which ended up being canceled due to poor field conditions.

Joining Favre in the class of 2016 were Tony Dungy, a trail-blazing coach and Super Bowl winner; one of his stars, Marvin Harrison; Kevin Greene; Orlando Pace; Ken Stabler; Dick Stanfel; and Ed DeBartolo Jr. The first black coach to win an NFL championship, Dungy has been a mentor to dozens of players and fellow coaches. Instead of concentrating on his role as a pioneer, he paid homage to those before him.

“Many of them never got the chance to move up the coaching ladder like I did, but they were so important to the progress in this league,” Dungy said of the 10 African-American assistant coaches in the NFL when he broke in as a player in 1977. “They were role models and mentors for me and my generation ... without those 10 laying the groundwork, the league would not have the 200plus minority assistant coaches it has today.

“And we would not have had Lovie Smith

AP

Tony Dungy and Marvin Harrison (center) are joined by members of the Colts after they were inducted into to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday in Canton, Ohio. and Tony Dungy coaching against each other in Super Bowl 41. I feel I am representing those 10 men, and all the African-American coaches who came before me in paving the way, and I thank them.”

Dungy led the Indianapolis Colts to the 2006 NFL title. He also has a coaching tree that has featured Mike Tomlin, Herman Edwards, Jim Caldwell, Rod Marinelli, Leslie Frazier and Smith.

A disciple of Hall of Fame coach Chuck Noll, for whom he played on a Super Bowl winner, Dungy went 139-69 in 13 seasons, including 85-27 with the Colts from 2002-08. Before joining Indianapolis, Dungy turned around a perennial loser in Tampa Bay, taking the Buccaneers to the 1999 NFC title game.

“Be uncommon, not just average,” he added before paying tribute to

former NFL coach Dennis Green, who recently passed away. “That thought has stuck with me throughout my life.”

Harrison’s 143 receptions in 2002 are an NFL record. He retired in 2008 with 1,102 catches – now third behind Jerry Rice and Tony Gonzalez – 14,608 yards and 128 touchdowns. He had eight consecutive seasons with at least 1,100 yards receiving as Peyton Manning’s prime target.

Harrison made eight Pro Bowls, was a threetime All-Pro, and missed only 18 games in 13 NFL seasons.

Pace was the blocking cornerstone of the Rams’ Greatest Show on Turf that won the 1999 NFL title. The top overall draft pick in 1997, he helped turn running back Marshall Faulk and quarterback Kurt Warner into NFL MVPs. Like Harrison, he had

memories of the Canton shrine, too, recalling visiting the hall when he was 13.

“This occasion marks the fulfilment of each and every goal I have had,” Pace said of his athletic career. “This became my first goal, and here I am 27 years later standing in Canton, Ohio, accepting this incredible honor.”

Always a showman who also spent some time as a professional wrestler, Greene’s 160 career sacks are third most in NFL history.

In 15 pro seasons for four franchises, Greene played linebacker and defensive end with an unmitigated spirit.

In Greene’s time with the Rams, Steelers, 49ers and Panthers, he missed just a dozen games, and 10 times finished with at least 10 sacks, including 12 with Carolina at age 37.

Nicknamed “Snake” for his elusiveness on and off the field, Stabler helped the Raiders win their first Super Bowl and make it to four other conference championship games in a 5-year span. One of the first great left-handed pro QBs, Stabler, who died last year, was elected by the seniors committee.

He was known for some of the biggest plays in Raiders history, including his intentional fumble forward in the closing seconds of a game against San Diego in 1978 that led to a touchdown – the “Holy Roller” play – and to a rule change.

Stanfel, who died last year at age 87, also was a seniors committee selection. He helped the Detroit Lions win the NFL title in 1952 and ’53. He earned All-Pro honors five times in his seven-season career.

Denny Hamlin (11) leads Martin Truex Jr. and Brad Keselowski (back right) on the last lap of Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Watkins Glen International in New York. Hamlin won the race.

Hamlin holds on at Watkins Glen Painful knee can’t keep JGR driver out of Victory Lane

BY JOHN KEKIS AP Sports Writer

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – Denny Hamlin wasn’t about to get shoved aside again.

Ignoring what he described as the worst pain he has ever felt in a race, Hamlin prevailed in a four-lap dash to the checkered flag Sunday to win the wreck-filled Sprint Cup race at newly paved Watkins Glen International.

It’s the first road course win of Hamlin’s Cup career, and atoned for his stunning loss on the road course at Sonoma in June, when he was beaten by Tony Stewart with a bang on the last turn.

“It’s very hard to win these races,” Hamlin said.

“I only made one mistake at Sonoma, and I didn’t win.”

Hamlin was virtually flawless at The Glen, and was able to conserve enough fuel at the end, thanks to eight cautions for 20 laps. The race also had two red flag stoppages for 30 minutes.

“We executed perfectly.

Didn’t make any mistakes on pit road,” Hamlin said.

“Hoping for those caution laps that we needed. That allowed us to make it on fuel.”

That Hamlin was behind the wheel of the No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was in doubt before the race.

He was in pain when he awoke Sunday morning.

“Knew I was in pretty big trouble,” said Hamlin, who has undergone two knee surgeries in his career. “I was thinking under the [last] red flag, ‘Let’s get this over with so I can get out of this car.’”

The race was shaping up as another duel between Brad Keselowski and Kyle Busch in the closing laps.

But a rash of late cautions shuffled Busch back.

Keselowski restarted with the lead with 25 laps to go in the 90-lap race, and Busch stalked him in second as the leaders began turning the fastest laps of the race around the 2.45-mile layout with the end in sight.

The sixth caution flew on lap 78 for a blown engine, and erased a 5-second lead the two leaders had built over Hamlin, Martin Truex Jr. and Joey Logano, who was seeking his second straight sweep of the Cup and Xfinity races at The Glen.

Keselowski lost the lead on the restart when both he and Busch overdrove the first turn, a 90-degree downhill right-hander, and Hamlin sneaked past to take the lead before another caution flew.

“When I saw them move forward and lunge into the corner, I knew there was no way for them to get out with any sensible speed,” Hamlin said. “It was my opportunity.”

Hamlin held a slim lead over Truex and Keselowski as the three ran nose-to-tail entering the final turns of the race.

Keselowski spun Truex in the last turn, and Hamlin coasted to the victory.

Logano finished second, and Keselowski, AJ Allmendinger, Stewart and Busch completed the top six.

“We got ourselves in position to win the race, but I didn’t have the speed to make it happen,” Logano said.

Jeff Gordon drove the No. 88 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports in relief of Dale Earnhardt Jr. for the third straight race, and finished 14th in his 800th career start after an early accident. Earnhardt is recovering from a concussion, and will miss at least two more races.

The United States’ Katie Ledecky (center) competes in the women’s 400-meter freestyle during the 2016 Summer Olympics on Sunday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Ledecky swam a 3:56.46 to win the gold medal by nearly 5 seconds, breaking her own world record of 3:58.57.

U.S. doesn’t disappoint Americans dominate in pool, on courts in Rio By the Associated Press

The United States finally swam to gold Sunday night, and did it in fine fashion.

Katie Ledecky blitzed the field and her own world record in the 400-meter freestyle, and Michael Phelps added another gold medal to his Olympic-record haul as the Americans dominated in the 400meter freestyle relay.

Ledecky’s time of 3:56.46 shattered the world record of 3:58.37 that she set nearly 2 years ago in Australia, and also beat silver medalist Jazz Carlin of Great Britain by 4.77 seconds – a margin of victory greater than the past six Olympic 400-meter races combined.

Not to be outdone, Phelps gave the U.S. the lead in the second leg of the 400 free relay and it never looked back, beating runner-up France by .61 seconds, 3:09.92 to 3:10.53. Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Held and Nathan Adrian teamed up on the relay with Phelps, who won his 19th gold medal and 23rd medal overall in his fifth Olympics.

In the other men’s final Sunday, Great Britain’s Adam Peaty shattered his own world record he had set in Saturday’s prelims in the 100-meter breaststroke, clocking a 57.13 that beat silver medalist Cameron van der Burgh – the gold medalist in London 4 years ago – by a whopping 1.56 seconds. U.S. swimmer Cody Miller took the bronze, edging fellow American Kevin Cordes 58.87 to 59.22.

And Sweden’s Sarah Sjostrom also broke her own world record, leading from the start in the 100-meter butterfly to take gold in 55.48, .16 seconds faster than the mark she set at last year’s world championships. Canada’s Penny Oleksiak won silver in 56.46, with American Dana Vollmer – the 2012 gold medalist – taking bronze in 56.63.

On Saturday, the U.S. took home three silvers, two of which came in races where the winners set new world records.

In the 400 freestyle relay, the American quartet of Simone Manuel, Abbey Weitzeil, Vollmer and Ledecky set a new U.S. record of 3:31.89, but it was no match for Australia’s world-record-setting 3:30.65, anchored by the Campbell sisters, Bronte and Cate.

Maya DiRado earned her first Olympic medal, taking silver in the 400 IM (4:31.15) behind Hungary’s Katinka Hosszu, who crushed the world record with a 4:26.36.

And the run of five straight U.S. gold medalists in the men’s 400 IM came to an end, as Japan’s Kosuke Hagino held off a late charge from Chase Kalisz to become the first non-American winner of the event since 1992.

Australia’s Mack Horton took gold in the other swimming final Saturday, defeating defending gold medalist Sun Yang of China in the 400 freestyle.

Men’s basketball U.S. 119, China 62: Kevin Durant scored 30 points as the Americans cruised past China in their opening game Saturday.

DeMarcus Cousins added 17 points and Paul George 15 for the U.S., which is a heavy favorite to win a third straight gold. The Americans play again today against Venezuela, which – like China – the U.S. beat easily in exhibition play.

Carmelo Anthony finished with nine points and made by history becoming the first U.S. male to play basketball in four Olympics.

He will become the first threetime gold medalist on the men’s side if the U.S. wins.

Women’s basketball U.S. 121, Senegal 56: Diana Taurasi hit five 3-pointers to finish with 15 points, Sylvia Fowles also

scored 15, and the U.S. set a scoring record in their opener Sunday against Senegal.

The U.S. won its 42nd consecutive game in the Olympics. The Americans are trying to win a sixth consecutive gold medal.

The only real suspense Sunday was how many records the U.S. team would break. They reached the 100-point mark for the 15th time in Olympic history early in the fourth quarter, and Breanna Stewart hit a 3-pointer with 3 minutes left to top the record 114 points the Americans had against China in 2012. They also broke the largest margin of victory in U.S. history, which had been a 60-point win over Zaire in 1996.

Women’s soccer U.S. 1, France 0: Hope Solo came up with some big saves early and late as the United States fought off France 1-0 on Saturday in an Olympic group match at Mineirao Stadium. Carli Lloyd scored the lone goal for the Americans.

Solo became the first goalkeeper, male or female, to reach the 200-cap mark in international play. She also became just the 11th U.S. player to reach that number of appearances.

Jim “Spark” Larkin of Shady Oaks tees off on the first hole Sunday during the second round of the Rock River Classic at Shady Oaks. Larkin won Best Against Bogey with a +14, and Shady Oaks won the team title.

t “It’s a good thing I didn’t need my putter,” Wolf said. “I wasn’t hitting it so well all day.”

Wolf finished with a 72, good enough for a tworound score of 149 and a Flight 3 win. Only Sunset’s Scott Aken, who earned medalist honors with a 143, and Shady Oaks’ Jim Larkin (146) turned in better cards. Last year’s Classic winner Andrew Blackburn shot a 152 playing for Rock River.

Larkin won the best against bogey title with a +14, which carried Shady Oaks to a win at +17. Sunset, led by Aken’s +15 and Brian Weidman’s +10, took second at +7. Sandburr Run took third at +5.

Those three clubs were the only ones to post positive scores in the nineteam field.

everything working over the 2-day tournament, and found an extra gear on Sunday. He didn’t make many mistakes, and was able to stay ahead of a top-heavy field.

“I played in the Lincoln Highway, too, and I couldn’t hit the ball to save my life,” Aken said.

“This was a little different.”

One of the highlights came on 17. Aken and Larkin had been battling all round, and Aken was looking to pull ahead.

Aken hit his drive tight on the fairway, then was able to pull out a birdie while Larkin recorded a par.

“They key, really, was that the greens were in unbelievable shape at both courses,” Aken said of Sunset and Prophet Hills, Saturday’s location.

“And I had a good swing and was able to keep it together.”

MLB ROUNDUP

Cubs sweep away A’s Sox get shelled; Braves win series in St. Louis By the Associated Press

Kyle Hendricks pitched into the eighth inning for his fifth win since June, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Oakland Athletics 3-1 Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.

Kris Bryant and Jorge Soler both homered off A’s starter Sean Manaea (3-7). Bryant’s home run was his 27th this season, one more than the twotime All-Star had in 2015 when he was the NL’s rookie of the year. Anthony Rizzo added an RBI double in the eighth.

Hendricks (11-7) was dominant against an A’s team that had dropped seven of eight going into the day. Chicago’s righthander allowed three hits over 7 1/3 innings, struck out four and retired 17 straight before Marcus Semien’s one-out home run in the eighth. He lowered his ERA to 2.17, second-lowest in the majors among qualifiers behind the Dodgers’ Clayton Kershaw.

Pedro Strop retired two batters, and Aroldis Champan pitched the ninth for his third save since arriving in a trade from the New York Yankees on July 25.

The Cubs’ seventh straight win improved them to a major leaguebest 69-41, and marked their 10th series sweep this season. They are a season-best 28 games over .500, and increased their lead in the NL Central to 11½ games over St. Louis.

The Cubs’ Jorge Soler celebrates after hitting a home run against the A’s on Sunday in Oakland, Calif. The Cubs won 3-1. ing in a career-high seven runs as Baltimore lit up James Shields in Chicago.

Machado hit a two-run homer in the first and a three-run shot in the second off Shields, who allowed four homers while getting four outs.

Machado hit another two-run homer in the third off Matt Albers.

According to STATS, the only other player to do that was Carl Reynolds of the White Sox on July 2, 1930, at the Yankees.

Chris Davis followed Machado’s second homer with his own, and J.J. Hardy added a tworun shot before Shields (5-14) left to boos. The Orioles have hit a major league-best 168 homers this season.

Shields was charged with eight runs and six hits, with two walks and two hit batters in an inning and a third. It’s the sixth start where the right-hander has allowed at least six runs.

Jose Abreu hit his third homer in four days for

the White Sox, who have dropped eight of 11.

Dylan Bundy (5-3) stuck out a career-high nine in six innings in Baltimore’s fifth win in seven games.

The rookie relieverturned-starter allowed two runs and four hits.

Braves 6, Cardinals 3:

Mike Foltynewicz worked six strong innings, Nick Markakis and Erick Aybar had two RBIs apiece, and Atlanta won two out of three in St. Louis.

Matt Kemp added two hits and an RBI, and the Braves outscored the Cardinals 19-8 the last two games. Atlanta has the worst record in the majors at 41-70, but has won seven of its last 11 overall.

Adam Wainwright (9-6) had a rare off-day against Atlanta, surrendering three runs each in the first and second. He entered 8-2 with a 2.95 ERA against the Braves, who drafted him in the first round in 2000 and traded him to St. Louis in 2003 in a deal for J.D. Drew.

t “Of course, I think I can play baseball. You always think you have one more hit in you, or help the team win one more game, for sure,” said Rodriguez, who is four home runs shy of 700. “That wasn’t in the cards. That was the Yankees’ decision, and I’m at peace with it.”

A news release issued by the club indicated Rodriguez will be released after “his final major league game” to sign a contract that gives him a job working with minor leaguers throughout the Yankees’ farm system.

That deal runs through Dec. 31, 2017.

A-Rod said he’ll go home to Miami following Friday’s game, and he thought his new duties would begin during spring training. He thanked the Steinbrenner family for the opportunity to stay in baseball.

General manager Brian Cashman acknowledged that Rodriguez has a right to change his mind and pursue any potential opportunity. And for his part, Rodriguez never used the word “retire.”

So, if another team offered him a chance to play, would he consider it?

“You know, when Hal told me, I just told him: ‘Give me a few days. I need to kind of think on this, sleep on it.’ I have not thought past the pinstripes, and my horizon is Friday,” he said.

A 14-time All-Star, Rodriguez is hitting .204 this season with nine home runs and 29 RBIs in 216 at-bats. He’s started only once in 14 games since July 22.

The New York Yankees have announced they will release Alex Rodriguez after Friday’s game. He will sign a contract that gives him a job working with prospects in the Yankees farm system. playing forever,” he said.

“But it doesn’t work that way.”

New York manager Joe Girardi said he’d talk to Rodriguez about possibly playing this week in Boston.

“If he wants to play in every game, I’ll find a way,” Girardi said.

When the fourth-place Yankees (55-55) traded veterans Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller and Carlos Beltran leading up to last week’s trade deadline, they made it clear they were turning toward a youth movement.

On Friday, 36-year-old first baseman Mark Teixeira announced he will retire at the end of the season.

A-Rod trails only Barry Bonds (762), Hank Aaron (755) and Babe Ruth (714) on the career home run list, and joins Boston bopper David Ortiz as iconic stars apparently in their final seasons this year.

“As much as he’s gone through, the PED stuff and all the stuff that’s kind of happened throughout his career, he’s still one of my favorite players to

watch as a child growing up,” Rays outfielder Steven Souza Jr. said. “Hopefully we can send him off with a thank you for a great career.”

Rodriguez has a $20 million salary this year, and is owed $20 million more in 2017, the final season of a $275 million contract that was the largest in baseball when he signed it.

“After spending several days discussing this plan with Alex, I am pleased that he will remain a part of our organization moving forward, and transition into a role in which I know he can flourish,” Steinbrenner said in a statement.

Rodriguez helped the Yankees win the 2009 World Series, but had been in repeated controversy since he arrived ahead of the 2004 season in a trade with Texas.

He won his second and third AL MVP awards with the Yankees, but has been a pariah to some since his 2009 admission he used performanceenhancing drugs while with the Rangers.

8-8

Astrograph Play to win and don’t look back.

MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 2016 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Reconnect with old friends and colleagues. Visiting an old hangout will help resolve an emotional matter that has been holding you back. An investment or vocational change will help your financial situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- Discuss your plans with anyone affected by your decisions. Anger will solve nothing, but incorporating others’ suggestions will help you avoid opposition. Offer incentives and rewards.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Try something different, new and exciting. It will give you the pick-me-up you need, and will provide some ideas that will encourage personal or professional changes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Consider every angle before you start something new. A partnership with someone who has as much to bring to the table as you looks rewarding. Romance is encouraged.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- As soon as you deviate from what you promised to do, you will be put in an awkward position.

Avoid a run-in with someone with the power to make your life miserable.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Don’t let your emotions take the reins. A balanced attitude will help you get the most out of what you do. Make suggestions, but don’t let anyone lean on you emotionally or financially.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your instinct will be to act fast, but if you take a moment to think matters through and plan carefully, you will spare yourself a lot of grief.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You should participate in any group conversation or prospect that looks interesting.

A take-charge attitude will help position you for advancement.

Love and romance are in the stars.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Resolve pending issues or try for a position that you feel suits your skill set. Do your best to bring about positive change. Go after exactly what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A practical approach to whatever you do will help you stick to a budget and alleviate stress. Listen to an offer and ask questions. Avoid getting involved in an unstable situation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Step up your game and take care of business before someone else takes charge.

You will be ridiculed if you don’t do your share, but rewarded for your effort.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t give in to demands or ultimatums. Deal with matters swiftly in order to have time to enjoy a few hours with someone who makes you feel good about yourself. ©2016 UFS
