School district shifts student pickup, dropoff sites
Staff Report
mdsnews@mydailysentinel.com
RACINE — The Southern Local School District
has announced opening day
and school year procedures
for the upcoming 2012-13
school year.
Southern parents and students will see some significant changes in the school
grounds when they return
Wednesday, Aug. 22.
Construction for the
new Southern High School
has begun, thus several entrances to the school will be
closed.
“It is an exciting time for
us this year,” said Southern Superintendent Tony
Deem. “With the excitement surrounding the building of our school, however,
comes some inconvenienc-
es. We have put together
what we think is a good
plan to get the students to
and from the school buildings in a safe manner.”
Parents and community
are urged to take extra caution especially on the highway along Elm Street.
“Ideally, we would like
to see as many students
as possible to ride the bus.
The more kids that ride the
buses, the less congestion
we will have processing student drop-offs. Ultimately,
this is the safest way to get
your children to school, especially the first few days
when we are getting back in
the routine and putting our
plan to the test.”
High school bus riders
will be let off the bus on Bus
Garage Lane at the East
end of the high school, then
move through the parking
lot to the Media Center
entrance and proceed into
Southern High School. A
new bus loop has been built
in the back of the school,
where elementary bus riders will disembark after
high school students have
been dropped off.
No cars are to enter the
bus loop at the back of the
school. Student drivers
may enter in the middle entrance.
Elementary teachers will
enter the teacher/bus (former bus entrance) and will
park in front of the high
school nearest the elementary school. High School
teachers will park in the
Eastern-most portion of the
parking lot in front of the
high school, closest to the

POMEROY — Dedication
of the new 60x100 foot Ridenour Family Livestock Arena
was a highlight of opening ceremonies for the 149th Meigs
County Fair Sunday on the
Rock Springs Fairgrounds.
4-H members who show
their animals and use the
show ring for numerous other
activities, along with their parents and friends were on the
new bleachers along the sides
of the show ring to join in the
opening celebration of the spacious facility.
The new showring came as
a result of a financial gift from
the Jim Ridenour family. Donations toward the purchase
of the bleachers were from
Farmers Bank, Home National
Bank, and the Ohio Valley
Veterinarian Clinic with a contribution toward additional
bleachers or other improvements from the Ohio Valley
Bank.

Donald H. Miller
Donald H. Miller passed
away on August 11, 2012,

Salome, Arizona. Western Sky Airpark is home to pilots
and their families who live next to and taxi their planes
directly to the runway, from their personal hangars.
Don and Violet recently celebrated 60 wonderful years of
marriage which includes, four sons, Steve, Mark, Greg, and
Jerry; 11 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.
Don Miller spent the last year of his life at Clare Bridge
and enjoyed a most wonderful and caring environment
filled with love and kindness, so although contributions are
not necessary, you may consider making a donation to the

can exit the vehicles in an
area closest to the sidewalk.
Parents are urged to not let
students out of vehicles until they reach the sidewalk
area.
Parents of Pre-School
and Primary grade students
can park in the church
parking lot spaces next to
the Methodist parsonage.
Other spaces should be left
open to maintain two lanes
of traffic flow around the
church.
No children should be
dropped off at the highway
near the school entrance.
All drop offs should be at
the church.
Car riders and walkers
and the high school bus
riders will dismiss at 2:40
some ten minutes later than
in previous years. High
School drivers and elementary bus riders will be dismissed at 2:45.
Parents may park nose
to tail facing the highway
at the church much like
they parked three-wide for
pickups in the elementary
parking loop last year, so
that traffic makes a continuous circle around the
church. Parents may arrive
at school for pickups no
sooner than 2:15.
“Dismissal will probably be our most congested
time,” noted Deem. “Entering and exiting the church
will be hectic, but should
really be no more congested
than our elementary parking lot was in the past.
However, because of the
congestion and having to
walk to the church, we urge
kids to at least ride the bus
home.”
Elementary bus riding
students will dismiss to the
bus loop then buses will
pick up high school students by the media center
exit.

Student car riders will be

US wins medal count, but British celebrate as well
LONDON (AP) — Red,
white and blue was everywhere in London.
For the Americans — and
for the British, too.
The most medals, and
the most gold medals.
That’s what the U.S. Olympic Team wanted, and it’s
what they delivered. As
for the home team? Riding the wave of home-field
advantage, the British put
together their best Olympic
showing in over a century.
The competition is over.
The U.S. was best, but
the success stories from
London truly spanned the
globe.
“I think these games were
absolutely fabulous,” International Olympic Committee President Jacques
Rogge said.
The final numbers: 104
medals for the United
States, 46 of them gold,
their highest total at a
“road” Olympics. China
won 87 medals, 38 of them
gold, down from what they
did as the home team in
2008. Britain won 29 golds,
third-most of any nation,
and 65 overall — fourth in
that category behind Russia, a winner of 82 medals,
24 gold.
Grenada had its first gold
medalist, and six other nations sent athletes to the
Olympic podium for the
first time. Meanwhile, Australia took another step
back in its Olympic freefall
after a scintillating show in
Sydney 12 years ago.
In all, 85 nations won
something in London,
from the U.S. to Tajikistan
and dozens of points in between.
“We are immensely proud
of the success that our athletes had in London,” U.S.
Olympic Committee CEO
Scott Blackmun said Sunday.
So were the hosts, who
delivered on a promise of
greatness in 2012.
“What I’ve witnessed in
the last couple of weeks has
been both uplifting and energizing,” London Games
chief Sebastian Coe said.
“I don’t think any country
that has staged the games
or any city that staged the
games is ever the same afterwards.”
Neither are the athletes
who win them. A boxer
from Thailand protested
losing a gold-medal fight
to a Chinese opponent,
and shed tears of disbelief
when the decision was announced. He cried again
10 minutes later, holding
his silver medal for the first
time.
“I’m happy. I’m still really happy that I’ve got this
silver medal,” said the Thai
fighter, Kaeo Pongprayoon.
“I’m really proud. It might
not be gold, but it’s a medal
I can bring back to the Thai
people.”
The U.S. brought a whole
slew of hardware back to
the American people. The

Jamaica’s Usain Bolt celebrates victory just in front of the
USA’s Ryan Bailey in the men’s 4x100 relay finals at the Summer Olympics on Saturday, August 11, 2012, in London, England.
Usain Bolt lights
up Olympic track;
what about 2016?
LONDON (AP) — Toting his third gold medal of
the London Games, Usain
Bolt gave a little wave to
80,000 or so of his best
friends in the Olympic Stadium stands.
Almost immediately, the
questions started: What did
that mean? Was Bolt bidding adieu for good? Will he
be back? Will the world get
to watch him sprint on his
sport’s biggest stage again
in 2016?
“It was a goodbye to London. I was just having fun
with the crowd,” the Jamaican explained. “I came here
to London to become a legend, and I am a legend, and
I wanted to thank them for
supporting me.”
He accomplished exactly
what he wanted to at the
2012 Olympics.
Three events — the 100
meters, 200 meters and
4x100 relay — and three
victories. Plenty of pre- and
postrace preening.
Just like at Beijing in
2008.
As for trying to go for
a Triple Triple four years
from now, Bolt insisted Rio
de Janeiro isn’t necessarily
in the offing.
“The possibility is there,
but it’s going to be very
hard. … I’ve done all I want
to do,” said Bolt, who turns
26 on Aug. 21. “I’ve got no
more goals.”
He came up with three
remarkable runs, improving
his career mark to 6 for 6 in
Olympic finals.
In more than a century of
modern Olympics, no man
had set world records while
winning the 100, 200 and
4x100 relay — until Bolt
did it in Beijing.
None had won the 200
meters twice, let alone com-
pleted a 100-200 double
twice — until Bolt did so in
2008 and 2012.
Now he’s added a second
consecutive sprint relay title, too, pulling away down
the stretch and bringing his
best right through the finish
line to close the track schedule Saturday night with a
world record in the relay.
“When he got the stick,”
said Tyson Gay, part of the
U.S. team that finished second, “there was nothing we
could do about it.”
Looking ahead to Rio,
Bolt pointed out that he’ll
turn 30 that year, while the
closest thing he has to a rival, training partner Yohan
Blake, will only be 26.
It was Blake who beat his
buddy in the 100 and 200
finals at the Jamaican Olympic trials, raising the idea in
some minds that Bolt could
have trouble in London.
So much for that.
Bolt won the Olympic
100 in 9.63 seconds — the
second-fastest dash in history, behind his own record
of 9.58 — and the 200 in
19.32, with Blake taking silver in both races.
“It’s been so incredible
watching him,” said U.S
swimmer Missy Franklin,
who won four gold medals
in the pool. “There was one
day when he walked into
the dining hall and every
athlete in there just started
clapping and cheering and
going crazy.”
Even those other athletes
are among those curious
about Bolt’s future. Maybe
he’ll take up the long jump.
Maybe the 400 (although
he says that’s too much of a
grind for his tastes).
“It’s very, very difficult
to predict what’s going to

USA’s Kobe Bryant (10) celebrates a 107-100 win over Spain in the men’s basketball final for the Summer Olympic Games in
London, England on Sunday, August 12, 2012.
US wins gold, beats Spain, 107-100
LONDON (AP) — This was no
Dream Team. This was reality.
The gold medal was in doubt for
the U.S. men’s basketball team.
The Americans led Spain by
only one point after three quarters, a back-and-forth, impossibleto-turn-away-from game that almost anyone would hope for in an
Olympic final.
Especially, it turns out, the U.S.
players.
“We knew it wasn’t going to be
easy. We didn’t want it easy,” LeBron James said. “A lot of teams
have won gold easy. We didn’t
want it that way. We’re a competitive team, and we love when
it gets tight. That’s when our will
and determination kind of shows.
It was the same way in ‘08.”
Same result, too.
The Americans defended their
title Sunday by fighting off another huge challenge from Spain, pulling away in the final minutes for a
107-100 victory and their second
straight Olympic championship.
And just like 2008, the starstudded Americans had to work
for this one.
The London 2012 daily magazine proclaimed them “the new
Dream Team” in an article, but
the real Dream Team never had
a game like this 20 years ago in
Barcelona. And if that means this
group isn’t worthy of the comparisons to Michael Jordan, Magic
Johnson, Larry Bird and Co., the
players had their own response.
“Everybody wants to make that
comparison, but at the end of the
day we’re both wearing these,”
forward Kevin Love said, pulling
on his gold medal. “That’s pretty
good.”
James capped one of basketball’s
most brilliant individual years
with a monster dunk and a huge
3-pointer in the final 2:50 that finally ended a Spanish threat few
expected after the Americans had
been so dominant for so long in
London.
Yet four years after beating
Spain 118-107 in a classic in Beijing, the U.S. found itself in another tight one, unable to ever really
slow the Spanish down until the
closing minutes.
Kevin Durant scored 30 points
and James had 19 on a day he
joined Jordan as the only players
to win the NBA title, regular-season MVP, NBA Finals MVP and
Olympic gold in the same year.
“It was a good year. It was a
great year for me as an individual,”
James said. “But this right here, it
means more than myself, it means
more than my name on my back. It
means everything to the name on
the front. I’m happy that I was able
to contribute to this great team.
It’s one of the best teams ever.”
Coach Mike Krzyzewski, who
has said he’s retiring as national
team coach after restoring the
Americans to their place atop
world basketball, emptied his
bench in the final minute
James stood with both arms in
the air, then held Durant in a long
hug before they came off the court.
The Americans, who insisted
they were better than their 2008
version and even good enough to
take a game from the 1992 Dream
Team, may not have been at that
level.
Still, they were better again than
Spain — though not by much.
When the final horn sounded,
Krzyzewski locked James in a
tight embrace as Bruce Springsteen’s “Born In The USA” rocked
the arena.
The Americans hugged at midcourt, guard James Harden holding a doll of the Olympic mascot,
and then after being handed flags,

Brazil celebrates record medal tally ahead of Rio
LONDON (AP) — Brazil won a record number of medals at the London
Games and is aiming for a top-10 finish at the 2016 Games in Rio, when
athletes will be competing at home
backed by unprecedented funding.
Team Brazil won 17 medals overall
in London, two more than it did in
2008 in Beijing and 1996 in Atlanta.
It finished with the same three gold
medals as in Beijing, two short of its
record from the 2004 Athens Games,
when Brazil was 16th overall.
“We reached our goal,” said Marcus
Vinicius Freire, the Brazilian Olympic
Committee’s top sports director. “It’s
within the numbers that we had predicted.”
Officials had expected Brazil to
win at least 15 medals at the London
Games.
Yane Marques won Brazil’s final
medal when she finished third in the
modern pentathlon on Sunday.
Among the highlights of Brazil’s
participation in London were Sarah
Menezes’ victory in the 48-kilogram
division for the country’s first gold in
women’s judo; Arthur Zanetti’s still
rings title for the nation’s first medal
in gymnastics; and the women’s volleyball team repeating as Olympic
champions.
In addition to the three gold medals,
Brazil won five silver and nine bronze.
The Brazilian committee said it has
already identified some of the sports
in which the country will need to improve in order to finish in the top 10 in
Rio. The committee wants Brazilian
athletes making more finals, particularly in swimming and athletics.
“The number of finals overall deserve our attention,” Freire said. “We
made 41 in Beijing and only 35 here.”
Brazil didn’t win a single medal
in athletics this year, and only two
in swimming — a silver for Thiago
Pereira and a bronze by Cesar Cielo.
Freire said taekwondo, equestrian
and men’s handball also deserve special attention in the next few years
after the sports failed to meet expectations in London. The same is true
for women’s basketball, women’s soccer and women’s gymnastics, and he
expects sailing to improve after Brazil
got only a bronze this time.
Among Brazil’s biggest disappointments in this Olympics was the silver
won by the men’s soccer team, which
had most of the country’s top players
and was favored to win the title. The
elimination of the women’s team in
the quarterfinals, after winning the

Gold
From Page 6
one kid just out of college
— who grew into a tightknit group during their
time together, paraded
around the floor, the Stars
and Stripes flowing off
their backs like capes.
Yes, they were Olympic
superheroes again, but
they had to fight until the
finish.
“To do it twice is a special moment,” Carmelo
Anthony said. “As the U.S.
men’s team, we go through
a lot. For us to persevere
the way we did is just a
special moment for myself, and for the guys who
are on this team.”
For Kobe Bryant, it was
his last Olympic moment.
“This is it for me,” said
Bryant, who scored 17
points and now has a second gold medal to go with
his five NBA championships. “The other guys are
good to go.”
Pau Gasol scored 24
points and Juan Carlos
Navarro had 21 for Spain,
which was again just a few
minutes from its first basketball gold but couldn’t
finish the job against the
Americans.
The U.S. came in averaging nearly 117 points and
stomping on their competition with such ease that
even the Olympics’ own
daily preview had a hard
time envisioning intrigue,
writing that it would “likely take a great game from
Spain and an off-day from
the USA to cause an upset.”
Well, Spain brought the
great game and trailed by
only a point heading into
the fourth quarter.
But the Spanish somehow lost sight of James,
and the game’s best player
drove uncontested and
threw it down for a 99-91
lead with 2:48 left. After
Marc Gasol dunked, James
dribbled outside the circle
with Marc Gasol giving
him just a bit too much
room, and James pulled up
for the 3 that made it 10293 with 1:59 to play.
Pau Gasol then was
called for an offensive foul
on a pick, and the Americans could sense that it
was over.
Gasol, who carried
the flag for Spain in the
opening ceremony, nearly
carried his country to its
greatest Olympic basketball glory, but had a big
miss inside with Spain
down by six about three
minutes to go, screaming
out loud in frustration as
he went back down the
court.
“I am disappointed, but
on the other side I’m very
proud how of the we competed, how we played,”
Gasol said. “We fought for
40 minutes. I am proud of
having another Olympic
medal around my neck.
“It’s disappointing because I thought we had
our chance. We were right
there pretty much the entire game. We let them get
away in the fourth and we
couldn’t get back.”
It was the 14th gold
medal for the Americans,
who lost at least five players who might have been
on the team when Dwight
Howard, Dwyane Wade,
Chris Bosh and Derrick
Rose had to pull out with
injuries and Blake Griffin
was hurt in training camp.
Along the way, they
showed they could be vulnerable during their exhibition schedule, falling
into early holes against
Brazil and Spain, having
to hold on against Argentina.
Any concerns once they
arrived in London seemed
to be wiped away as quickly as the way the Americans play.
They were tested only
once, beating Lithuania
99-94, and the statistics
revealed a tournament
that was more varsity
against junior varsity than
best in the world against
each other. The Americans
came in leading the tournament in eight statistical
categories, with laughably
lopsided advantages in
points off turnovers (19877) and fast-break points
(175-55).
James
didn’t
seem
too concerned Sunday,
laughing his way through
warmups, even when he
badly botched a dunk.
He and the Americans
would soon realize this
one wasn’t going to be all
fun and games.
They used an 18-4 run
to wipe out their early
five-point deficit and
made seven 3-pointers in
the first quarter, yet led by
only eight points. Spain
then opened the second
period with a 12-2 burst,
taking a 39-37 lead on a
3-pointer by Sergio Rodriguez.
Spain, long considered a
finesse team, came to fight
in this one, Rodriguez delivering a blow to Tyson
Chandler’s ribs while setting a pick that led to technical fouls on both players.
Both teams grew frustrated with the officiating — Spain in particular
when Marc Gasol was
called for his fourth foul
while going for a rebound
with 5:29 remaining in
the first half. The Spanish
scored their final seven
points on free throws, cutting the U.S. lead to 59-58.
Though a gold-medal
rematch was expected
before the Olympics, the
Spanish struggled in London, losing twice in the
Medal
From Page 6
46 golds in London were
one more than the gold
haul from Paris in 1924 and
Mexico City in 1968.
LeBron James recognized
that winning gold means
more than, well, winning
gold. He and the U.S. men’s
basketball team won the
Americans’ final Olympic
title in London on Sunday
afternoon.
“It means more than myself, it means more than my
name on my back,” James
said. “It means everything
to the name on the front.”
The final numbers for the
Americans in London won’t
go down as record-setting
for all Olympics.
They won 83 golds (174
overall) at the 1984 Los
Angeles Games, boycotted
by most of the Soviet bloc
countries; and 78 golds (a
whopping 239 overall) at
the 1904 St. Louis Games,
when U.S. athletes won
roughly seven out of every
eight medals.
Different eras, different
dynamics. By any measure,
2012 will be considered a
success for the U.S. Many
thought the Chinese would
go home with more medals
than the Americans, and
that didn’t come close to
happening.
“We’re Americans and
we’re human,” said Teresa
Edwards, the five-time
Olympian for U.S. basketball. “When I was competing, when I went up against
another country, I felt they
wanted the same thing I
wanted. But we were given
an opportunity to prove it
at that moment, and that’s
what these games give us.”
Michael Phelps ended his
Olympic career in London
with a record 22 medals, the
last six of them won here,
the most of any athlete in
London, as his amazing run
ended with — what else? —
a splash. Four other athletes
in London won five medals, three of them American swimmers, including
17-year-old Missy Franklin.
Swimming and track combined to deliver 60 medals
for the U.S., and to the athletes, the medal count most
definitely mattered.
“I do feel it’s important
for us to be the No. 1 team
because we’ve held that title
and to lose that title would
be somewhat disappointing,” said Dee Dee Trotter,
who won gold on the U.S.
4x400-meter relay team.
“We just want to maintain
the level of talent and the
level of medals we always
bring home, and if we fall
short, that would mean
we’re not bringing our ‘A’
game.”
Australia’s medal total,
seven, was just half of the
number from Beijing — and
the Aussies won no indi-
preliminary round and
saying that just getting to
the gold medal game was
an accomplishment given
some injuries they faced.
The Americans waved off
Spain’s claims of being
tired and hurt, and, sure
enough, the Spanish team
they expected showed up
in the final, believing they
could pull it off.
“Of course we did. We
wouldn’t be playing if
we didn’t think we had a
chance,” Marc Gasol said.
“Give them a lot of credit.
They made a lot of shots
— tough shots. They have
so many options, great
players and they made
shots.”
Size was always the
Americans’ biggest obstacle, and the 7-foot-1 Pau
Gasol dominated them to
start the second half, scoring Spain’s first 13 points
to give them a 71-70 lead
at the midpoint of the
third quarter. Serge Ibaka
at 6-10 also hurt the U.S.
inside, and the Americans
led only 83-82 heading
into the fourth.
Though this was expected to be the final international game for Krzyzewski and Bryant, the U.S. will
apparently still be able to
bring its best to the next
Summer Games in Rio de
Janeiro. Though the NBA
has said it might prefer an
under-23 age limit for the
Olympics, FIBA’s secretary general said Saturday
he doesn’t see any changes
being proposed in time for
2016.
James isn’t sure if he
will return after he, Bryant, Anthony, Chris Paul
and Deron Williams joined
a list of 13 Americans who
have won multiple gold
medals.
Paul’s basket while
drawing a foul near the
end had Krzyzewski jumping for joy in his final minutes as U.S. national team
coach. He said even before
joining Hank Iba as the
only coaches to lead the
U.S. to consecutive golds
that this would be his
last game — though USA
Basketball chairman Jerry
Colangelo promised to do
his best sales job to bring
the respected coach back.
He led a powerful performance
in
Britain,
where there is such little
history and awareness of
basketball that some basic
rules were explained during pregame announcements.
Now the British have
seen the game at its highest level.
“We came through from
the beginning of July and
worked hard for one goal
and I’m glad I accomplished it,” Durant said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday,
Aug.14, 2012:
This year you might want to spend
more time alone. You also might
choose to reveal less of yourself
than in the past. You might become
involved in some self-healing work or
decide to take a yoga class. You are
changing in many ways and demanding more of yourself. If you are single,
you easily become involved with an
emotionally distant person. Look
directly at the reality of the situation. If you are attached, the two of
you benefit by scheduling more time
together as a couple. You will add
more romance to your bond. CANCER
understands you well, maybe even
better than you do.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day
You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
HHH Pressure builds with matters involving real estate and family.
You simply cannot juggle everything
that keeps landing on your plate. You
seem to be constantly adjusting your
schedule. Why not resolve as much
as you can in the next 24 hours in
order to free yourself up? Tonight:
Ponder some of these issues.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
HHHHH You tend to say what you
think and tell it as it is. You might not
always be met with agreement from
others, as each individual comes from
such a different life experience. Ask
questions and broaden your perspective. Tonight: Visit over drinks.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
HHH Curb an innate insecurity
that frequently rears its ugly head.
This personality trait can be extremely
offensive to you, as well as to others.
Dealings with financial matters could
be problematic. Tonight: Someone
you care about might be difficult, to
say the least.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
HHHHH You are on cruise control,
with your magnetism peaking. You
know what you want, and you make
good choices accordingly. Others
seem in the mood to go along with
nearly any whim or desire you have;
however, this mood is destined to end
sooner rather than later. Tonight: All
smiles.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
HHH Take a backseat, whether
you’re at home or at work. This role
might not be natural for you, but it is
necessary. Take this time to realize
what is happening around you. If you
are feeling out of sorts, know that this
mood will pass soon enough. Tonight:
Not to be found.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
HHHH You put emphasis on success, networking and expanding your
circle of friends. You will see a child or
new friend make a demand. Most likely, besides causing others to distance
themselves, it’s a source of uproar.
Walk away from control games.
Tonight: Out with your friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
HHH Others look to you for
answers and resolution. You might
not have the right solutions at this
moment, but you certainly are capable
of finding them. Do not feel intimidated
by what lands on your shoulders —
you can handle it. Tonight: Choose a
stress buster.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
HHHHH Keep reaching out for
someone at a distance. This person
likely has important information, if not
helpful feedback. Someone pushes
you toward his or her chosen direction. You know the answer, and it is
“no.” Tonight: Use your imagination.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
HHHH You find that you are compatible with one particular person. For
many of you, it will be your pleasure.
Take this time to get to know this person and his or her responses better.
Realize how key this person is to your
well-being. Tonight: Chat over dinner.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
HHHHH Defer to others, as there
seems to be little room for your ideas
at the present moment. Eventually
there will be, especially if you do not
force your presence on others. Take
some much-needed time for yourself.
Tonight: Which invitation to choose?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
HHHH Your determination is
impressive, though you easily could
get distracted by others and their
needs. Your ability to concentrate
comes through once more. Be careful with a person you respect. He or
she could be on the warpath! Tonight:
Relax and take a swim, or hop into a
hot tub.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
HHHHH Tap into your imagination
for answers. Your unusual creativity
comes through more often than not. A
child or new flirtation could dominate
the day, at least in your thoughts.
Clearly you need to spend time
together. Tonight: Let the good times
rock and roll.

Comparisons only natural with McIlroy and Woods
“He seems to have that ability
that when it’s a big tournament,
he’s right there just waiting to
break loose,” Davis Love III said
Monday. “A lot like Tiger. The bigger the stage, the better he plays.”
Does that make McIlroy the
next Woods?
Not yet.
Winning the second major was
a big deal to McIlroy because so
much is expected of him. He was
never going to be a one-and-done
major champion. The golf world
knew that. But his win at Kiawah
followed a turbulent season of
peaks and valleys. McIlroy held off
a furious charge by Woods to win
the Honda Classic and go to No.
1 in early March. He went into a
funk by missing four cuts in five
tournaments, and then he shut up
the critics with another dominant
display in the final major of the
year.
“I was a little frustrated with
how I was playing earlier on in the
year, but a few people in this room
were probably pushing panic buttons for no reason,” McIlroy said.
“It’s just great to be able to put my
name on another major championship trophy, and looking forward
to April next year and getting a
crack at another one.”
That would be Augusta National for the Masters.
And next year is when McIlroy
will see if he can stack up to the
incomparable standard created by
Woods.
McIlroy now is halfway home to
the Grand Slam. Woods became
the fifth player, and the youngest at age 24, to win all four
major championships. He won
the third leg at the U.S. Open
with that 15-shot win at Pebble
Beach, and completed the slam
with an eight-shot win at St.
Andrews in the British Open.
Woods didn’t stop there. He
won the next two majors to become the only player to hold all
four professional majors at the
same time.
McIlroy is not there yet. Not
even close.
“It’s tough to say that Rory
is a Tiger Woods-type player,”
Graeme McDowell said. “Tiger
Woods is a once-in-a-lifetime
type player, and Rory McIlroy
is at least a once-in-a-decade
type player. He’s that good. I’ve
been saying it for years how
good he is.”
Jack Nicklaus set the standard with 18 majors, which
Woods is trying to surpass.
Woods remains stuck on 14 majors, and has gone more than
four years without one. Nicklaus never had a gap that big,
though Nicklaus never had the
problems — with injuries or in
his personal life — that Woods
has had to tackle.
But the measure of Woods is
more than just majors.
Woods won 54 times around
the world, including 10 majors,
before turning 30. McIlroy’s
win Sunday was the sixth of
his career.
“I’ve won my second major at
the same age as he had,” McIlroy said. “But he went on that
incredible run like 2000, 2001,
2002, and won so many. I’d love
to sit up here and tell you that
I’m going to do the same thing,
but I just don’t know. It’s been
great to win my first major last
year and to back that up with
another one this year. I can’t
ask for any more. I just want to
keep working hard, keep practicing, and hopefully, there’s a
few more of these in my closet
when my career finishes.”
It was Padraig Harrington
who suggested it might be
McIlroy — not Woods — who
might catch Nicklaus. That
sounded absurd last year at
Congressional when McIlroy
set the U.S. Open scoring record on a course that was soft
and vulnerable from so much
rain.
Kiawah was a strong test.
McIlroy made it look easy.
Asked to pick one part of his
game that could have been better, Boy Wonder leaned into
the microphone and said with
a smile, “Nothing. It was all
good.”
Woods used to make it look
easy.
McIlroy is the sixth-youngest
player to have two majors, joining a list that includes Young Tom
Morris, John McDermott, Gene
Sarazen, Nicklaus and Ballester-

os. Those are legendary figures in
golf. Morris died at age 24, while
McDermott was committed to a
mental hospital about the same
age.
In contemporary times, consider another impressive list. In
the last 50 years, McIlroy became
only the 12th player to win a
major in back-to-back years. The
others were Arnold Palmer, Gary
Player, Nicklaus, Lee Trevino,
Tom Watson, Ballesteros, Curtis
Strange, Nick Faldo, Woods, Phil
Mickelson and Harrington.
Woods doesn’t usually offer his
thoughts on players unless asked,
and McIlroy was on everyone’s
mind Sunday at Kiawah.
“We all know the talent he has,”
Woods said, echoing his comments from three years ago. “He’s
got all the talent in the world to
do what he’s doing. And this is the
way that Rory can play. When he
gets it going, it’s pretty impressive
to watch.”
How to sustain that level of
play?
“You just do it,” Woods said.

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y.
(AP) — Just when Marcos
Ambrose had about given up
hope of winning again at Watkins Glen International, he
began to slide.
Suddenly in his element
on an oil-smeared track, the
Australian road race ace came
alive one final time Sunday,
storming past Kyle Busch and
Brad Keselowski in a fenderslamming last lap of a chaotic
Sprint Cup race to win at Watkins Glen International for the
second straight year.
“It wasn’t going to be
handed to me,” Ambrose said.
“I had to get myself back up
there.”
Ambrose, who led eight of
the 90 laps around the 2.45mile, 11-turn layout, had been
shuffled back to ninth after a
late caution and quickly made
his way back to third in less
than 10 laps, behind only
Busch and Keselowski.
After passing Keselowski
for second, Ambrose still
trailed Busch by 2.3 seconds
and figured he was running
for second as the laps wound
down.
“I managed to fight my way
past Brad and then I tried
to chase Kyle down, but he
wasn’t making any mistakes
and he had a fast car,” Ambrose said. “I just burned my
stuff up trying to get to him.
I was thinking, ‘OK, it may
be second place here.’ But
then the oil came down and I
slipped to third and I thought,
‘That’s not the plan.’ So I just
put my head down and just
kept trying.”
Oil had begun spewing
from the No. 47 of Bobby Labonte, and it coated much of
the track. With only one lap
remaining, NASCAR did not
throw a caution and Ambrose
capitalized.
“It was absolutely chaos at
the end,” Ambrose said. “I had
really burned off the brakes. I
couldn’t figure out where it
(the oil) was coming from. It
was just absolutely crazy.”
Desperate for a win to
move back into contention for
the Chase for the Sprint Cup
championship, Busch skidded
wide coming out of the first
turn of the final lap and was
bumped by Keselowski’s fastclosing No. 2 Dodge.
“Busch slipped up big in
turn one,” said Keselowski,
who apologized after the race
on Twitter. “There was nothing I could do. It was just one
big giant oil slick underneath
his car. We all checked up and
Marcos was right on my bumper. We all just about spun
out.”
Keselowski took the lead after caroming off Busch heading uphill through the highspeed esses and Ambrose
followed Keselowski through
as Busch spun to the side,
tearing up wads of sod.
Skidding through the corners, Ambrose and Keselowski, his left front tire spewing
smoke from a fender rub, battled side by side and nose to
tail all the way around. Both
even went through the grass
in the inner loop at the top of
the esses but kept charging.
“I knew there was oil all
over the bus stop (inner
loop),” winning crew chief
Todd Parrott said. “It looked
like the cars went through the
grass because there wasn’t
any oil.”
Ambrose bumped Keselowski to take the lead on the
back straightaway but slipped
again in turn 10 as Keselowski tried to return the favor
but was unable to drive past.
Neither gave ground, and Ambrose forged ahead for good
on the final turn, a hard righthander, turning away Keselowski’s charge on the outside.
“I must have hit the oil one
more time and he didn’t,” Keselowski said. “I thought I had
him.”
“In the end, nobody knew

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (AP)
— The comparisons are inevitable. The incredible skill, the
youth, even the red shirt on Sunday.
Rory McIlroy’s dominant performance in winning the PGA
Championship this weekend
looked a lot like the early days of
Tiger Woods.
Woods saw it coming more than
three years ago. McIlroy made his
professional debut in America at
age 19 and reached the quarterfinals of the Match Play Championship. Woods saw how he drove
the ball, the putts he made, the
efficient short game and the composure.
“He has all of the components
to be the best player in the world,
there’s no doubt,” Woods said
back in March 2009. “It’s just a
matter of time and experience,
and then basically gaining that
experience in big events. Just give
him some time, and I’m sure he’ll
be there.”
McIlroy didn’t need much time
at all.
The 23-year-old golfer from
Northern Ireland now has won
both his majors, the U.S. Open
last year and this weekend’s PGA
Championship, by eight shots.
There have been only five majors
won by eight shots or more since
1976 — three by Woods, two by
McIlroy.
McIlroy also won his two majors at a slightly younger age than
Woods, though that is a little misleading because he turned pro
earlier. The PGA Championship
was McIlroy’s 16th major as a pro.
Woods won his second major in
his 12th try.
But it was the way McIlroy won
at Kiawah Island that allowed
for the comparisons. After rain
forced play to be suspended Saturday, he returned Sunday morning to finish the third round and
built a three-shot lead. He wasted
no time, pulling ahead with two
early birdies. And on a demanding Ocean Course with enough
wind to demand utmost precision,
McIlroy played the final 23 holes
without a bogey. It was reminiscent of Woods going the last 26
holes without a bogey at Pebble
Beach in the 2000 U.S. Open.
what was going on,” said
Richard Petty, owner of Ambrose’s No. 9 Ford. “They
were slipping and sliding off
the race track. Marcos might
have known a little bit about
it, but the rest of us didn’t.
Marcos stayed with it all day.
Everything fell our way.”
It didn’t for Busch, who led
43 laps and seemingly held a
commanding lead heading to
the white flag of the Finger
Lakes 355.
“Kyle hit the oil,” said Dave
Rogers, crew chief of Busch’s
No. 18 Toyota. “The 47 broke.
You can see him, he just went
by smoking. He left oil down
all over the track. Kyle hit the
oil and it allowed the (No.) 2
to get to us.”
An angry Busch declined to
speak to the media afterward.
Entering the race, Ambrose
had one win and had never
finished lower than third in
four starts at The Glen for an
average finish of 2.3 and an
average green flag speed of
nearly 120 mph. Both were
tops in the series.
Jimmie Johnson was third
to gain the points lead by one
over Greg Biffle. Sonoma winner Clint Bowyer and Sam
Hornish Jr. were next, giving
Dodge, which is leaving NASCAR at season’s end, two in
the top five. Dale Earnhardt
Jr. spun late while running in
the top 10 and finished 28th
to fall from first to fourth in
points, 17 behind Johnson.
Biffle was sixth, and Busch,
Matt Kenseth, Regan Smith
and Martin Truex Jr. rounded
out the top 10. Ryan Newman
finished 11th to move back
ahead of Jeff Gordon into the
second wild card slot. Kasey
Kahne, who has two wins,
holds the other. Gordon was
also a victim of the oil, spinning late and dropping from
inside the top 10 to 21st after
having driven past Newman.
The top 10 drivers in the
standings qualify for the 10race Chase, and two wild
cards are awarded to the drivers with the most wins outside the top 10 — provided
they finishing 20th or higher
in points.
Polesitter Juan Pablo Montoya, who broke the track
record in qualifying, finished
33rd after being forced to pit
when something broke in the
right front of his No. 42 Chevy
a third of the way into the
90-lap race. He had tracked
Busch for the first 26 laps.
