VIVA! tied to Chicago group Chief’s statement called ‘ridiculous’ by school attorney

two of its employees charged in a sexual abuse investigation, has ties to a Chicago-based group that has millions of dollars in assets.

Dixon-based VIVA! has the same president, Curt Schmitt, as the Canterbury Foundation, which had more than $4.5 million in its coffers in 2012.

Canterbury has given grants to VIVA! as well as other groups,

DIXON – VIVA! Performing Arts School, which has seen

among them The Next Picture Show, another Dixon nonprofit organization.

Last week, Tim Boles, the drama director for VIVA!, was charged with failing to report abuse allegations that had been made against Robert Campbell by a former student.

Campbell, 31, was arrested Nov. 4 on three counts of aggravated sexual abuse. Dixon

police began investigating Campbell after a former student sent an email alleging the abuse to Dixon Public Schools Superintendent Michael Juenger and other administrators. Juenger reported the issue to police.

After the student told Boles about the abuse, officials said, Campbell continued to actively work with VIVA! programs

as well as during private lessons. Boles never reported it to police, authorities said.

Campbell was a part-time school employee who worked on performances for the theater department of Dixon Public Schools. The abuse didn’t take place in the public schools, police said.

More felony charges filed in Prophetstown fire

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 521

STERLING – Prosecutors have filed three more counts of criminal damage to property against two half-brothers who are accused of setting a July fire that destroyed much of downtown Prophetstown.

The boys, 16 and 12, now face

$1.00

17 counts of criminal damage to property, one count of residential arson, and one count of arson – all felonies.

Each of the three new counts pertains to a different tenant of 332 Washington St. who lost property during the fire, Whiteside County Assistant State’s Attorney Carol Linkowski said.

INDEX

ROCK FALLS – In 10 days, Rock Falls bars, restaurants, liquor stores and convenience stores, with a liquor license, will be able to sell and serve longer.

The change was unanimously approved Tuesday night during the Rock Falls City Council meeting. The new hours will match those in Sterling, said City Administrator Robbin Blackert.

“It gets kind of confusing, I think, sometimes for people,” she said after the meeting. “We want to keep things streamlined where you can [serve at the same time]. Our biggest difference was on Sundays. Our bars had to close, I believe, at 10 p.m. and now they can stay open until 1 a.m.”

Rock Falls businesses with liquor licenses – bars, restaurants and liquor stores, among others – will be allowed to sell or serve alcohol from 6 a.m. to 1 a.m. the following day, 7 days a week.

The new hours will start 10 days from today.

Previously, some liquor license holders were permitted to sell or serve alcohol on Sunday only between noon and 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

On New Year’s Eve, the hours will be extended to 1:30 a.m. the following day.

On Tuesday, Judge Bill McNeal granted two requests made by the boys’ attorneys – one allowing the 16-year-old to attend youth group meetings with his church, and another so that the 12-year-old may leave his father’s home in Prophetstown to have Thanksgiving at his grandmother’s house.

Police said the fire was

sparked July 15 after the two boys, in town for the summer to visit their father, set fire to paper and cardboard in a recycling bin behind Cindy Jean’s restaurant around 2:30 a.m. The blaze then spread to the buildings.

Sauk Valley Media is not identifying the boys because they are charged as juveniles.

Langloss: Investigation continues VIVA!

CONTINUED FROM A1

School officials advised to stay silent Police Chief Danny Langloss said last week that police have statements from more than one person indicating that Schmitt also knew about the allegations.

Schmitt didn’t return a message left at his Chicago phone number Tuesday.

Barbara Sullivan, VIVA!’s attorney, said she had instructed Schmitt and others at VIVA! not to comment on the allegations of sexual abuse. “Trying this case in the court of public opinion is a bad idea,� she said.

In response to the chief’s statement about Schmitt, Sullivan called it “ridiculous.� “If he has some evidence, then I assume the state’s attorney, who would be the appropriate person to file an indictment, would do that,� Sullivan said. “That hasn’t been done. I don’t know why the police chief

is making statements like that.�

Langloss said Tuesday that the investigation is ongoing. “[Schmitt] continues to refuse to talk with us and return our calls,� the chief said. “My detectives are creating their game plan.

There is a potential he could be charged criminally. That final decision hasn’t been made.�

Schmitt lived in the Dixon area for years, Sullivan said, but she didn’t know what he did for a living then. “He has been retired and does charitable work,� she said.

She emphasized that VIVA! is separate from Canterbury, saying it gives grants to the school, among other recipients. “The Canterbury Foundation does nothing to tell VIVA! Performing Arts School how to operate their organization,� Sullivan said.

Canterbury was founded more than 20 years ago. VIVA! has been around for a few years.

At first, The Next Picture Show was VIVA!’s fiscal agent, but the school became a separate non-

profit organization a couple of years ago, Sullivan said. “[VIVA!] grew much more than they anticipated, so they incorporated,� the attorney said.

‘Canterbury has wonderful history’ Ellen Allen of Dixon, who is VIVA!’s vice president, said Canterbury’s relationship with the school is limited. “The only way we are associated with Canterbury is that it gives us some money,� she said. “Canterbury has a wonderful history.�

She said Sullivan advised her not to comment on the sexual abuse case.

According to Canterbury’s tax forms, it gave $314,233 to nonprofit groups in 2011. Its top recipient was The Next Picture Show, which received $141,300 for a renovation project, according to the 990 form, which is publicly available.

It also donated $89,500 to the Canterbury Music Society in Sterling, the form states. Sauk Valley Media could find

no information for that group.

A Dixon-based accountant for Wipfli, Rory Sohn, prepared tax forms for both Canterbury and VIVA! He couldn’t be reached for comment.

Kathy Hann, director of VIVA!, hasn’t returned numerous messages left over the past couple of weeks.

The school continues its operations, Sullivan said. But parts of its website were taken down late last week, including its homepage. The faculty page also was eliminated; it had contained biographies and pictures for a number of instructors, including Boles and Campbell.

Sullivan, who is listed in tax forms as the secretary-treasurer of Canterbury, said Sauk Valley Media shouldn’t focus on the negative. “I would like to see the Telegraph cover the good work of these organizations, instead of this negative, salacious story,� she said. “The charges have been leveled. The arrests have been made.

Now, it belongs to the court system.�

OREGON SCHOOLS

Superintendent: Levy, taxes may increase Revenue continues to drop, official says

recommending increasing the district’s total tax levy by 2.5 percent, meaning a possible increase for some property owners.

However, even with the higher levy, the district will collect fewer tax dollars because its equalized assessed value (EAV) has decreased in the past couple of years and is expected to go down again next year.

The EAV in 2012 was $194 million and for 2013 is $187 million.

OREGON – Like many other taxing bodies, the Oregon School District’s shrinking value may mean higher real estate taxes for residents.

Superintendent Tom Mahoney told the school board Monday that he is

RELIEF EFFORTS

Real estate taxes payable in 2014 are based on the 2013 property value.

To make ends meet, Mahoney said, the district must increase revenue or decrease expenditures. “Decreasing expenditures means eliminating people,� he said.

Between the losses in real estate taxes and state aid, Mahoney said, the district’s revenue has dipped more than $1 million over the past 2 years.

The board is expected to vote on the proposed tax levy at its December meeting.

Despite that, The financial news was not all bad.

Mahoney said district finances are in good shape, and spending is where it should be at this point in the fiscal year, which began July 1.

The state has caught up on the state aid payments owed to the district for last year, he said.

The state owes the district only $300,000 for this year.

However, Mahoney said the state has reduced the amount of General State Aid it is obligated to pay school districts. “The reason they’re no longer behind is because they’re paying us less,� he said.

In an effort to curb expenses, the district had hired Expense Reduction Analysts, a Chicago firm

that studies how businesses and taxing bodies can operate more efficiently financially.

Mahoney said the firm’s analysis of the district’s spending showed school officials are being frugal.

The only area of concern, he said, was that the district is paying too much for property insurance.

Mahoney said he is looking into getting more competitive bids on the insurance.

GEORGE ZIMMERMAN ARRESTED

Dueling 911 calls raise questions

BY ALLEN G. BREED 4HE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

When George Zimmerman and his girlfriend called 911 in the heat of a domestic dispute, they almost certainly knew that they were not just talking to the emergency dispatcher. In the age of Twitter and the 24-hour news cycle, experts say a call to central dispatch can quickly become public, and is often manipulated to spin a story or even lay the groundwork for a criminal defense. “There really has been what I would call a multiyear training program in place, frankly� to use 911 calls strategically, says former Massachusetts prosecutor Wendy Murphy. “And folks, especially people who understand high-profile crimes and the nature of evidence and the rules of evidence and domestic abuse generally, they [know] the power of

a 911 call to change not only the trajectory of the case, but to change public opinion and to affect the jury pool.�

On Monday, 27-yearold Samantha Scheibe called Seminole County, Fla., dispatchers and accused Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watchman, of pointing a shotgun at her, smashing a coffee table and pushing her. Around the same time, the Sanford man made a 911 call of his own, stating that he did not threaten Scheibe, and that it was she who had broken the table.

When defense attorney Frank Rubino heard the Zimmerman recording on television, his gut reaction was: This sounds staged. “Didn’t Zimmerman sound way too calm?� says the Miami lawyer, who represented former Panamanian dicta-

tor Manuel Noriega. “He knows well – and everybody else knows – that those tapes are admissible in court, and it’s a way for him to make a positive statement on a very bad situation.�

This is the third time since Zimmerman’s fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager in February 2012 that 911 calls have played a major role in the Florida man’s future. Not long after his July acquittal in the killing of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, Shellie Zimmerman initially told a dispatcher that her estranged husband had smashed the iPad on which she was recording him, and was threatening her and her father with a gun.

In 2006, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that the use of some 911 calls as evidence did not violate a defendant’s Sixth

Amendment right to confront and cross-examine his accuser. These “excited utterance� exceptions to the rules involving hearsay are especially crucial in domestic violence cases, in which the victim might be reluctant or even unable to testify, says Murphy.

As a result, she says, victims began to think “strategically� about using 911 calls as a way to have their accusations entered into the record without necessarily having to testify, says Murphy, now an adjunct professor at New England Law in Boston.

Rubino says it behooved Zimmerman to come across as un-excited as possible. “It’s like he was trying to be really calm and saying, ‘My crazy girlfriend is doing all this stuff,’�

Rubino says. “I think he was trying to create a defense.�

April House move OK’d First step to being accredited

BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

MORRISON – Whiteside County’s child advocacy center will be moving, but not far.

April House needs to move out of its current facility to earn accreditation and qualify for more government grants. So on Tuesday the Whiteside County Board approved its move from one countyowned house to another next door.

Major improvements to the current location, at 503 N. Madison St. in Morrison, would be needed to bring it up to requirements to become accredited with the National Children’s Alliance. The accreditation is needed for April House to be eligible for more government grants – namely one from the state attorney general’s office which it has relied on for years.

During a walk-through of the yellow house that houses the center,

it was determined that necessary fixes would include work on the 100-year-old electric wiring, fixing a large mold problem in the house’s basement, and making the small bathroom ADA accessible.

Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce said Tuesday the improvements needed to the more modern house at 501 N. Madison St. would be much less expensive. The county also owns it, and has been leasing it out on a monthly basis. Its current tenants will be given 6 months to find other arrangements.

April House had until recently been facing major financial problems due to a lack of grants and a downturn in donations.

Since this summer, however, the center’s financial luck has turned, thanks in large part to a $12,500 United Way grant and a private donor who sought to match it.

City looks to limit locations for medical marijuana dispensers COUNCIL

CONTINUED FROM A1

In August, Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill that institutes a 4-year medical marijuana pilot program in Illinois. The program starts Jan. 1, but Rock Falls wanted to be proactive and ensure dispensaries couldn’t be located downtown.

The Rock Falls ordinance would add medical marijuana dispensaries to the Adult Uses section of the city code, limiting them to being located in the industrial park, Blackert said.

Among the other businesses in the Adult Uses category are adult book stores, tattoo parlors

and psychic readers or fortune tellers.

Sewer plant work The City Council on Tuesday also waved the bidding process for work on the sewer plant.

After a closed session, the council awarded the bid to Sjostrom and Sons Construction, of Rockford, for $35,192.

The company did the original work on the sewer plant, but a public works project costing more than $20,000 is required to be put out for bid, Blackert said.

The City Council voted unanimously to wave the bidding process.

ILLINOIS

IDOC says revised gun bill would still be costly SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Revised legislation stiffening penalties for gun crimes would still cost hundreds of millions of dollars and add nearly 2,500 inmates to the crowded correctional system, state officials said.

The Illinois Department of Corrections says the latest version of the gun bill would cost another $549 million over 10 years, a figure that covers operating and construction costs.

The amended bill is backed by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and makes illegal gunholders serve more prison time.

But the measure stalled in the Illinois House after members of the Legislative Black Caucus stopped the bill through a procedural move during the fall veto session earlier this month, saying the bill was too focused on locking up young men.

The proposal, negotiated for weeks by Rep. Michael Zalewski, a Riverside Democrat, would stiffen prison penalties for felons

and gang members caught with weapons.

The bill scrapped an early requirement that would have forced all first-time offenders to serve a mandatory three-year sentence.

The initial version would have cost the state about $700 million and added nearly 3,000 inmates to the prison system.

The updated version would sentence repeat offenders to four years in prison and inmates would be required to serve 85 percent of their sentences.

But officials say even the compromise deal would put pressure on state prisons, which hold nearly 49,000 people.

Board OKs another deficit budget

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com

EXT

DIXON – The Lee County Board approved its $20 million budget, with a deficit in several funds, including its largest.

The budget was approved 15-6 during the board’s meeting Tuesday morning. The votes against came from David Gusse, R-Dixon; Jerry Leffelman, R-Sublette; Marilyn Shippert, R-Dixon; Dick Binder, R-Compton; Bernie Buckley, R-Dixon; and Allyn Buhrow, R-Ashton.

Arlan McClain, R-Dixon, and Tom Kitson, R-Dixon, were absent for the vote, as was Kasey Considine, D-Amboy, who arrived after the vote.

During the meeting, Binder said this was another budget with a deficit and no attempt to reduce it.

The 2012-13 fiscal year budget had the general fund at $8.4 million and a deficit of $876,109 and $600,000 budgeted to be transferred in.

DIXON – The Lee County Board will continue to meet during the day.

The board on Tuesday voted 12-10, with two members absent, to approve the meeting schedule for next year with all day meetings.

Tom Kitson, R-Dixon, and Arlan McClain, R-Dixon, were absent.

Wes Morrisey, D-Amboy, was the first to raise a concern that the day meetings, which start at 9 a.m., don’t afford residents an opportunity to either run for office or to attend the meetings. “I know there’s pros and cons to when we have our meetings,�

Morrisey said. “I don’t think it’s a transparency issue. I think everyone here shows up and represents the county to the best of their ability. The only problem is, when we have daytime meetings exclusively, we eliminate a group of people who could run for this body of governing.�

That group is workingclass people with families, which make up a large part of the constituency, Morrisey said, adding that only the retired, the self-employed or people with flexible schedules could run for office.

Allyn Buhrow, R-Ashton, suggested that the board meetings be moved to night and the committee meetings be kept during the day.

The board has tried the split schedule in previous years, said Marilyn Shippert, R-Dixon, but it didn’t increase public attendance at the meetings, and the day meetings allow more time for discussion. “With the evening meetings, we race through them in half an hour,� she said. “So did we really do our due diligence as a board racing through a meeting?�

Voting against the day meetings were Morrisey; Buhrow; Ryan Marshall, R-Dixon; John Nicholson, R-Franklin Grove; James Wentling, R-Dixon; Greg Witzleb, R-Dixon; Bernie Buckley, R-Dixon; Kasey Considine, D-Amboy; Vern Gottel, R-rural Sterling; and Rick Ketchum, D-Amboy.

STATEHOUSE INSIDER

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Could pension reform really be happening?

Curtailing COLAs likely to be part of agreement

Rob Rogers, Newspaper Enterprise Association

THE READER’S VOICE

Mandatory helmet law is necessary JOHN A. STROM, M.D. Dixon

It was with mouthdropping amazement and sadness that I read the Nov. 9 Telegraph headline: “Are helmet laws needed?�

As a general surgeon responsible for trauma care in the Sauk Valley for 30 years, I’ve cared for numerous patients in motorcycle accidents where their only injury was a head injury because of the lack of a helmet.

Those injuries led either to death or to lifelong debilitating disabilities.

I was also a state evaluator of trauma programs, and a distressing fact was how many more head injuries occurred across our state compared to other states with helmet laws.

Therefore, another way to phrase this headline would be: “Should we attempt to preserve life, or should we allow as many head injuries as possible to increase the number of organs available for transplant?�

The article did a commendable review of the reasons helmet laws are rational.

Statistically, it’s irrefutable that wearing a helmet when on a motorcycle significantly reduces the number of fatal and debilitating injuries.

It’s also irrefutable that head injuries cause a significant drain on our economy by direct medical costs, in great part sustained by the taxpayer, and by indirect loss of productivity of the injured.

The argument given by ABATE against helmet laws is absurd. If the logic of “the right of choice� was valid, there would be no speed limits, seat belt laws, or child restraint laws, negating 50 years of progress in decreasing traffic accident injuries and deaths. Existing seat belt and child restraint laws have saved millions of people from death and major injuries, and our

economy billions of dollars.

I’ll never understand how our state legislators support seat belt laws and not helmet laws.

For the sake of our citizens’ health and our state’s economy, I pray someday our representatives will wake up, be courageous and consistent, and adopt common-sense laws that save lives and money.

Drought, not ethanol, hiked price of corn LEONARD SHEAFFER Dixon

Sauk Valley Media’s Nov. 12 and 13 papers each had articles stating the bad effects of ethanol from corn.

The major gist of the articles was that the price of corn was high the past couple of years because of the demand for corn for ethanol production.

This is not true. The price was up because of the drought.

Just as much corn is being used for ethanol as was used a year ago, but the price is $3 a bushel lower.

Also, it was stated that more carbon was released into the atmosphere because of plowing of new land. The alternative is pumping oil from the ground, shipping it halfway around the world, and burning it.

Ethanol has a much smaller carbon footprint than petroleum, plus it lowers the cost of a gallon of gas significantly.

SPRINGFIELD – Geez, could it finally be happening? Could the General Assembly really be about to vote on pension reform?

Lawmakers were advised to keep their schedules open for the first week in December for a possible return to Springfield.

The directive came from House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, who doesn’t do things like that just for fun.

No reason for the return was given, but the belief is lawmakers would be asked to deal with pension reform. Of the other issues still out there that lawmakers could address, none rises to the point that members would be called back into special session to deal with them.

As you House probably Speaker Michael know, the Madigan four legislative leaders D-Chicago have largely He would taken over not schedule a special negotiations session “just on a pension for fun.� reform bill.

A 10-member conference committee of legislators has worked for months on a compromise, but hasn’t produced a plan that has the support of a majority of the committee.

When negotiations bog down at a lower level, an issue is often kicked upstairs to the leaders to finally resolve.

The exact components of the reform plan being discussed by the leaders isn’t known yet. However, whatever else the plan does or doesn’t include, it seems certain that a reduction in the current cost-of-living adjustments to pension benefits will be a big part of it.

The annual automatic percent compounded COLAs have been identified as the major factor in the ever-increasing cost of state pensions. Curtailing them has been the major source of cost savings in many of the reform plans floated so far.

Curtailing COLAs presumably also would be a principal part of the inevitable legal challenge to a pension reform plan that will contend it is unconstitutional for the state to reduce pension benefits.

But at least passing a pension bill will provide the basis for the legal challenge to begin, rather than continuing the seemingly endless practice of speculating what the courts might decide.

“I’ve got this notion that somebody should keep an eye on what government is doing – and that job falls to the press.�

A couple of weeks ago, lawmakers came to Springfield with no clear idea of what would happen with same-sex marriage, another major issue long unresolved by the Legislature. Suddenly, it was called for a vote, and it was approved.

Is the same thing about to happen with pension reform?

5NGAGGING THE GOVERNOR If nothing else, a vote on pension reform would free Gov. Pat Quinn from the terrible burden of not being able to talk about anything else while the issue is still unresolved.

Just last week, Quinn wouldn’t answer questions about keeping the temporary income tax increase past 2014, because, he said, he needed to first see what happens with pension reform.

So, passing pension reform would free Quinn from his self-imposed gag order. Unless, of course, he then says he has to wait for a court decision before saying anything.

7RONG ABOUT ,INCOLN S SPEECH With all of the hoopla surrounding the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg Address, last week brought one of the oddest developments in that story and for newspaper retractions generally.

OK, any newspaper can miscalculate in an editorial. Why, there were even some newspapers in Illinois that endorsed Rod Blagojevich for a second term. Still, the Harrisburg paper delivered a 150year follow-up: “In the editorial about President Abraham Lincoln’s speech delivered Nov. 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, the Patriot & Union failed to recognize its momentous importance, timeless eloquence, and lasting significance. The Patriot-News regrets the error.�

ILLINOIS TORNADOES

Power of twisters comes into focus Winds 190 mph in Washington storm CHICAGO (AP) – The power of the tornadoes that tore across Illinois on Sunday was coming into clearer focus as weather experts reported at least 11 twisters touched down in the state, the most devastating of which spun at 190 mph and stayed on the ground for 46 miles.

As aerial images in newspapers and on television showed the devastation, the National Weather Service and state officials were reporting what many in these towns had been saying since Sunday: Illinois had not seen an outbreak of tornadoes this strong – or this deadly – in November in the decades since the weather service began keeping records.

The tornadoes killed six people in Illinois, the most to die in tornadoes on a single November day in the state. Two of the twisters, including the one with a 46-mile path that devastated neighborhoods in the central Illinois community of Washington, received a preliminary designation of EF4. The

Louis and Mabel were in their kitchen when the tornado hit, tearing off the roof and flinging a utility pole in its place. state has never seen an EF4 – the secondstrongest rating given to twisters, indicating wind speeds between 166 to 200 mph – in November, according to weather records.

The tornado that hit Washington gained strength as it approached the town, hitting 190 mph at almost the exact time it arrived before los-

ing speed as it left town, meteorologist Chris Miller said.

Not only that, Miller said, the twister also grew in size. “It had been two to four football fields wide, (but) when it got to Washington, it rapidly increased to a half-mile wide,� he said.

On Tuesday, Washington Mayor Gary Manier

said more than 1,000 homes were damaged or destroyed by Sunday’s tornado and storm, and some residents will be allowed back into their damaged homes to retrieve belongings ahead of more rainy weather forecast for Wednesday.

He said the community was coming together to help each other. “We’ve been knocked

down, but we’re going to get back up,� he said during a televised news conference.

The mayor has said so many people have offered to help that officials are asking them to stay away for a while. In the meantime, help is coming in other forms.

At Illinois State University in Normal, the school was asking fans planning to come to a Wednesday night basketball game to bring bottles of water to send to Washington or money to buy water. “We asked what they need the most, and they said water,� said Mike Williams, the sports information director at ISU. Meanwhile, Gov. Pat Quinn on Tuesday boosted to 13 the number of counties designated as state disaster areas, but it was not immediately clear whether or when he might submit a request for federal disaster aid.

Federal Emergency Management Agency agents were in Illinois and other states hit by Sunday’s severe weather to determine whether the states can seek a federal disaster declaration.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois said that the

widespread damage will require local, state and federal resources, and that he was ready to help see that Illinois receives federal funding.

Quinn, who has been touring the affected areas, said the priority is to make sure people left homeless in southern and central Illinois have roofs over their heads as colder weather settles in.

Officials must determine which homes are safe enough to re-inhabit and which ones aren’t.

The lack of housing is “going to be a big, big issue for us coming up in the next few days,� the governor told WLS-TV in a phone interview. Quinn singled out the small community of Brookport in the far southern end of the state. The storm struck a trailer park, and Quinn described those left homeless as “very, very poor.�

Manier, the Washington mayor, addressed a concern common in communities hit by a natural disaster: that the residents’ plight would fade from memory. “We’re going to be here for a while, needing assistance and help, so please don’t forget about us,� he said.

OREGON – A former Oregon couple and their family escaped with their lives and little else Sunday when a tornado destroyed their home in Washington, Ill. Friends in Oregon have organized a drive to help Jason and Sarah Earl get back on their feet.

Wendy Kresheck and Roberta Fassler are taking donations of money and gift cards for the Earls and will deliver them this weekend.

Jason and Sarah were at church Sunday with their three young children when the sirens, as well as the electricity, went off.

They returned to their nearby home to find it destroyed, along with their possessions.

They are staying with family members, but all they have left are the clothes they were wearing and the car they were driving.

Jason was an announcer for Oregon Hawks athletic events for several years, worked at the Blackhawk Center, and was one of the founders of the Oregon Booster Club.

Sarah chaired the 5K run at Autumn on Parade for several years, and raised money for the Oregon and Polo cross country teams, Focus House, and the Viilage of Progress.

Opposition: New law doesn’t have enough protection for owners CHICAGO (AP) – When same-sex couples begin to wed in Illinois this summer, some of the businesses that make those weddings happen may face a delicate predicament.

While the new legislation – expected to be signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Pat Quinn – says religious institutions, clergy and some private clubs don’t have to allow or officiate gay weddings, it’s not as clear for the florists, caterers, tailors and photographers and others who don’t want to participate.

That could result in more court battles in President Barack Obama’s home state, just as other states have seen, and attorneys on both sides of the issue are gearing up for it.

For some business owners, it may mean putting their personal beliefs aside.

Wedding planner Virginia Pruitt, who runs Wedding Visions by Virginia in suburban Chicago, has given the matter much thought. She bills her business as being Christianowned, doesn’t agree with same-sex marriage and caters largely to couples of

AP

Illinois today becomes the 16th state to legalize same-sex unions when Gov. Pat Quinn signs the legislation. Wedding planner Virginia Pruitt, who runs Wedding Visions by Virginia in Plainfield, doesn’t agree with same-sex marriage and caters largely to couples of her faith. Even so, she says she won’t turn any couples away after the law goes into effect. her faith. Even so, she feels she can’t turn anyone way. “I’m not going to be biased toward anyone.

If they chose me it’s an honor. It’s an opportunity to shine a light, possibly toward Christianity. I won’t tell anybody I’m in agree-

ment with what they’re doing,� she said. “I have to separate to a certain extent, my beliefs from that of the business. I am a Christian, the business is a business.�

Illinois is set to become the 16th state to legalize same sex unions, along

with Washington D.C. Most recently, Hawaii’s governor signed a bill into law. Illinois’ event is expected to be festive with thousands in attendance.

However, attorneys who represent groups opposing same-sex marriage say the legal fight isn’t over. They claim the law doesn’t have enough protections for business owners, including for businesses that refuse. “We’re going to have to go to court,� said Peter Breen, an attorney with the Thomas More Society, a Chicago-based public interest firm. “There are a lot of issues that are going to arise.�

Meanwhile, the ACLU of Illinois says such lawsuits aren’t warranted, but they’ll defend the new law if necessary.

Other states are seeing the issue play out.

Earlier this year in New Mexico, the state Supreme Court ruled that an Albuquerque business owned by opponents of gay marriage violated an anti-discrimination law when the business refused to photograph a same-sex couple’s ceremony. Attorneys for the business have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal. In Washington, a flower shop owner was sued for refusing service for a same-sex wedding.

Dear Ready for Motherhood: You are NOT being selfish, you are being prudent. According to Dr. June Reinisch, director emerita of the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender and Reproduction: “There is some evidence that suggests certain drugs can attach to the sperm and therefore affect the fetus.

So the best plan for a healthy baby would be for the man to be as ‘clean’ as possible before he starts to make a child. This is because sperm are produced about three months before they are released.�

father. On the other hand, he’s a hard worker, and I wonder if by asking him to do this I am being selfish. Please give me some advice. – Ready for Motherhood Dear Abby: One of my in Mississippi husband’s relatives is fil-

ing for bankruptcy for the third time. His wife recently started to receive disability. I believe they are abusing the system.

I know she was not truthful on her disability application. I work in the health care field and in the past have completed evaluations for disability claims.

I know the only way she would meet the requirements would be if she misrepresented her current abilities.

Everyone else in the family works hard to support themselves, so I can’t understand how this attitude is tolerated. What has pushed me over the edge is they have announced

they’re going to have a “bankruptcy party.� They have invited everyone over to enjoy food and beverages that will be purchased with a credit card they have no intention of paying.

I feel an obligation to alert the disability office to her misrepresentation. My husband agrees that what they’re doing is wrong, but he doesn’t want me to do anything about it.

This has caused a problem between us because I no longer want to go to family dinners. I know if I keep going and have to listen to them laugh about using taxpayer dollars to support their laziness, I will eventu-

Dear Somewhere: I think your relatives are committing fraud and that it should be reported. Disability payments were meant for individuals who truly need them, not those who are gaming the system. And if you choose not to associate with these kinds of morally bankrupt individuals, you shouldn’t have to. I can see how it would ruin your appetite.

Sweet, sweet history Early American desserts connect us deliciously with tradition

BY BILL DALEY MCT News Service

D

esserts are the sweet stuff of which memories are made, particularly in a holiday season, a time typically so rich with recollections. Salute that spirit with a historic dessert rooted in the North American past.

For while tastes, trends and technology come and go, the country’s sweet tooth has remained ever keen.

Why? Michael Krondl, a New York City food historian and author of “Sweet Invention: A History of Dessert,” says our continuing hunger for dessert is based on two things: childhood and celebrations. “Sweetness is one of the first tastes we love,” he says, referring to childhood. As for celebrations, “it used to be anything sweet was expensive because of the sugar” so sugar was saved for important things, like wedding cakes, birthday cakes and Christmas cookies.

“Add those two things up and it sort of represents the culture,” Krondl says. “We don’t like to change our culture too much. We give lip service to change but we don’t like it too much.

So foods stick around.”

Traditional desserts are a particularly delectable way of connecting vividly with that culture. One may not be able to literally step into the shoes of one’s forefathers and foremothers but one can sup pretty much as they did.

But today’s cooks need

to remember that desserts – like much of everything else – were different then.

“These recipes were not designed to match anybody’s modern diet plan,” says Frank Clark, supervisor of historic foodways at Colonial Williamsburg, the living history museum in Williamsburg, Va. “There was lots of butter, lots of cream, lots of eggs.”

But that was – and is – part of the charm of historic desserts. Sweets so epitomized hospitality that they were distributed throughout the menu. (“Dessert” as such was defined in the French sense back in Colonial America, as a small palatecleanser to be enjoyed before leaving the table.)

“Most of the 18th-century upscale entertaining was done with sweets,” says chef Walter Staib of Philadelphia’s City Tavern, host of television’s “A Taste of History” and author of a new cookbook, “A Sweet Taste of History” (Lyons, $29.95). “It was a way to show up the Joneses.”

“Today, we don’t go in much for these celebratory everybody-eats-the-cake desserts,” says Krondl.

“They used to make election cakes that served 150 people. The tendency now is that everyone gets their own cupcake.”

Biscochitos Prep: 25 minutes Chill: 2 to 3 hours Bake: 10 to 12 minutes per batch

Makes: 40-50 cookies The story of exploration and settlement in what is now the U.S. was written in languages other than English. These anise cookies were brought to New Mexico by the early Spaniards, who established Santa Fe in 1607. New Mexico declared the biscochito (also spelled bizcochito) the state cookie in 1989. This recipe comes from the New Mexico secretary of state website. The yield will vary depending on the size of cutters you use.

6 cups flour 3 teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 2 cups lard 1 3⁄4 cups sugar 2 teaspoons anise seeds 2 eggs ¼ cup brandy 1 tablespoon cinnamon Sift flour in a bowl with baking powder and salt. In separate bowl, cream the lard with 1 ½ cups sugar and anise seeds until fluffy.

Beat in eggs one at a time.

Mix in flour mixture and brandy until well blended.

Refrigerate, 2-3 hours.

Heat oven to 350 degrees.

Turn dough out onto a floured board; pat or roll to ¼- or ½-inch thickness. Cut into shapes. (The fleur-de-lis is traditional.) Place cookies on parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Mix the remaining ¼ cup sugar and the cinnamon together in a small bowl. Dust the cookies with the cinnamon sugar. Bake until lightly browned, 10-12 minutes.

Be selective during holidays

BY CARRIE GROBE +3" (OSPITAL

O

ur first snowfall reminded me that the holidays are quickly approaching.

Holidays bring joy, excitement and happiness.

They also can bring anxiety, crabbiness and sugarinduced slowdowns. I see many individuals who work hard all year long to improve their eating and exercise habits, only to take a nosedive during November and December. Here are a few suggestions for truly enjoying the holiday season and the food, while keeping your body healthy and energized.

Make sleep a priority

Fatigue can interfere with healthy eating and exercise patterns. Anxiety and restlessness frequently set in over the holiday season. Do your best to get restful sleep.

Use deep cleansing breaths while relaxing to help your brain slow down and nourish your muscles.

BEYONDTRIM #ARRIE 'ROBE IS A DIETITIAN WITH +3" (OSPITAL IN $IXON 2EACH HER AT CGROBE KSBHOSPI TAL COM

Be selective Skip the chips, crackers and items you can have all year Watch portions, but give yourself permission to really enjoy the special holiday treats. One of my relatives makes a fabulous sweet potato casserole dish for Thanksgiving and I never miss it.

Engage in activity every day Exercise helps maintain weight, reduce stress, increase energy and boost mood. Even 10 minutes a day of any type of exercise will do wonders this holiday season!

Maintain a healthy eating schedule Continue to eat a

breakfast containing protein and fiber, pack your lunch and healthy snacks for the day, and increase your intake of fruits and vegetables.

Try to keep your eating routine as normal as possible; especially on the days of parties and social get-togethers.

Drink water Although it is chilly outside, our bodies continue to need plenty of water on a daily basis. Be careful with your intake of alcoholic beverages which add extra calories and dehydrate your body. Keep a favorite water bottle in sight at all times to remind you to drink enough water.

IRAN

Obama plunges ahead toward deal President seeking nuclear agreement

The following stock quotations, as of 5 p.m., are provided as a community service by Robert Kim Pettygrove and Chad Weigle of Edward Jones, Dixon and Raymond James and Associates, Sterling.

www.saukvalley.com

WASHINGTON (AP) – On the eve of new talks, President Barack Obama is plunging ahead in search of a nuclear agreement with Iran despite outright opposition from American allies in the Middle East

and deep skepticism, if not open hostility, from Congress.

Iran is pressing ahead in its own way, trying to make a deal more likely to ease painful economic sanctions without losing its own hardliners at home.

Obama’s willingness to embrace a pact that falls short of U.N. Secu-

rity Council demands for Iran to halt uranium enrichment has pushed his administration’s already contentious relationship with Israel to the brink, strained ties with Gulf Arab states and exacerbated tensions with lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle in Washington.

Although everyone claims to have to same goal – preventing Iran from developing atomic weapons – the rancorous, public disagreement over how to achieve it has driven a wedge between the administration and those who the administration insists will benefit most from a deal.

Opponents say Iran is getting too much in the way of sanctions relief for too little in the way of concessions. And, they argue, Iran just can’t be trusted. Obama and his national security team counter that the risk is worth taking. The alternative, they say, is a path to war that no one wants.

HEALTH AND FITNESS

Study: Kids are less fit than their parents were Kids run a mile 90 seconds slower on average, study says DALLAS (AP) – Today’s kids can’t keep up with their parents. An analysis of studies on millions of children around the world finds they don’t run as fast or as far as their parents did when they were young.

On average, it takes children 90 seconds longer to run a mile than their counterparts did 30 years ago. Heart-related fitness has declined 5 percent per decade since 1975 for children ages 9 to 17.

The American Heart Association, whose conference featured the research on Tuesday, says it’s the first to show that children’s fitness has declined worldwide over the past three decades. “It makes sense. We have kids that are less active than before,� said Dr. Stephen Daniels, a University of Colorado pediatrician and spokes-

In this May 2007 file photo, boys participate in a 100-meter race during a 2-day World Athletics Day meet in Bangalore, India. An analysis of studies on 250 million children around the world finds they don’t run as fast or as far as their parents did when they were young. Research featured at the American Heart Association’s annual conference Tuesday showed that, on average, children 9 to 17 take 90 seconds longer to run a mile than their counterparts did 30 years ago. man for the heart association.

Health experts recommend that children 6 and older get 60 minutes of moderately vigorous activity accumulated

over a day. Only onethird of American kids do now. “Kids aren’t getting enough opportunities to build up that activity over the course of the day,�

Daniels said. “Many schools, for economic reasons, don’t have any physical education at all.

Some rely on recess� to provide exercise.

Sam Kass, a White

House chef and head of first lady Michelle Obama’s Let’s Move program, stressed the role of schools in a speech to the conference on Monday. “We are currently facing the most sedentary generation of children in our history,� Kass said.

The new study was led

by Grant Tomkinson, an exercise physiologist at the University of South Australia. Researchers analyzed 50 studies on running fitness – a key measure of cardiovascular health and endurance – involving 25 million children ages 9 to 17 in 28 countries from 1964 to 2010.

The studies measured how far children could run in 5 to 15 minutes and how quickly they ran a certain distance, ranging from half a mile to 2 miles.

Today’s kids are about 15 percent less fit than their parents were, researchers concluded. “The changes are very similar for boys and girls and also for various ages,� but differed by geographic region, Tomkinson said.

LEBANON

Suicide bombings at Iran Embassy in Beirut kill 23 BEIRUT (AP) – Suicide bombers struck the Iranian Embassy on Tuesday, killing 23 people, including a diplomat, and wounding more than 140 others in a “message of blood and death� to Tehran and Hezbollah – both supporters of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The double bombing in a Shiite district of Beirut pulled Lebanon further into a conflict that has torn apart the deeply divided country, and came as Assad’s troops,

aided by Hezbollah militants, captured a key town near the Lebanese border from rebels.

The bombing was one of the deadliest in a series of attacks targeting Hezbollah and Shiite strongholds in Lebanon in recent months.

An al-Qaida-linked group said it carried out the attack as payback for Hezbollah’s backing of Assad forces against the mainly Sunni rebels as the Syrian civil war increasingly becomes a confrontation

between regional powers.

The Syrian army’s border offensive is part of a larger government push that started last month and has seen forces loyal to Assad firmly seizing the momentum in the war, taking one rebel stronghold after another.

The attacks raised fears in Lebanon that Islamic extremists, now on the defensive in Syria, would AP increasingly hit back in Lebanon. The country is Lebanese citizens carry a dead body at the scene suffering the effects of com- of two explosions Tuesday that killed 23 people peting sectarian loyalties. near the Iranian Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.

DINNER BUFFET

GAY MARRIAGE

Comments stoke Cheney family feud

Kids 10 & Under Eat For 99¢ Expires 11/30/13

MCT News Service

A sibling spat over the issue of same-sex marriage flared anew as Senate candidate Liz Cheney restated her opposition to gay and lesbian matrimony and her sister – and sister’s spouse – angrily fired back on social media.

The latest installment in the quarrel between the daughters of former Vice President Dick Cheney began when Liz Cheney, who is running in the Republican Senate prima-

ry in Wyoming, appeared on “Fox News Sunday.�

Referring to her younger sister, Cheney said, “I love Mary very much. I love her family very much. This is just an issue in which we disagree.�

Cheney first stated her opposition last summer, calling it a matter that “must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states, not by judges and not even by legislators, but by the people themselves.�

Mary Cheney, who is gay and married to her longtime partner, Heather Poe, responded: “For the record, I love my sister. But she is dead wrong on the marriage issue.�

Cheney and Poe were far more vociferous Sunday after watching the Fox News interview. “Liz – this isn’t just an issue on which we disagree you’re just wrong – and on the wrong side of history,� said Mary Cheney in a Facebook post.

Bridge Magazine goes Internet-only

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

The oldest bridge publication is Bridge Magazine from England. It started in May 1926.

Earlier this year, to lower production costs and make it easier to publish a bigger magazine in full color, Bridge Magazine went to online-only delivery. You print it out, say, on three-hole punched paper and store each issue in a ring binder.

Aimed at tournament players, it contains hands that you can bid with your partner, and bidding problems that you can answer to try to win one of four book prizes from Master Point Press.

There are various quizzes.

This one comes courtesy of Patrick Jourdain and Ron Tacchi. South gets to six

hearts, but when West stupidly doubles, South runs to six no-trump. How should he plan the play after West leads the club queen?

There was no auction

given in the magazine. In this sequence, North’s two notrump is the Jacoby Forcing Raise. Three hearts promises a strong hand. Four clubs and five diamonds are control-bids (cue-bids).

Clearly, West has kingqueen-third or -fourth in hearts. The declarer, Andrzej Oglobin from Poland, won with his club king, played a diamond to the board and led the spade 10. When East covered with the queen, South took his four spades and three other diamonds.

When West kept three hearts and one club, declarer cashed the club ace, then played a heart to his jack.

West won with his queen, but had to lead away from the king-six of hearts into South’s ace-10.

Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog scores against Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford during the first period of the Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 5-1 loss Tuesday in Denver. Crawford gave up three goals on seven shots.

Key is to get backup Raanta solid in debut after Crawford gets neckburn

BY CHRIS KUC #HICAGO 4RIBUNE

DENVER â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The sight of starting goaltender Corey Crawford leaving the ice after being yanked in the first period against the Avalanche wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t how the Blackhawks envisioned starting their seven-game, 13-day trip.

Worse yet was seeing one of their key players, Bryan Bickell, limp to the dressing room after suffering an apparent left leg injury. Linked with the absence of Marian Hossa to a lower-body injury, it all added up to a disastrous 5-1 defeat at the skates and sticks of the Avalanche on Tuesday at the Pepsi Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tough game right from the start,â&#x20AC;? Hawks defenseman Brent Seabrook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we gave a good push-back in the second period. We had some chances but we just couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t capitalize. Their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; did a good job of limiting second opportunities and taking passing lanes away.â&#x20AC;?

P M 4HURSDAY #3. !Paul Stastny had a goal and an assist, while Gabriel Landeskog, John Mitchell, PA Parenteau and Cody McLeod also scored for the Avalanche, who snapped a threegame losing skid.

The Avs put a three-spot on Crawford in the opening period, the first score coming off a wacky bounce off the end boards that landed in the slot for Stastny to bury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A couple maybe unlucky breaks, and we got behind the 8-Ball,â&#x20AC;? Hawks winger Kris Versteeg said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we actually carried the play for most of the game. Just a couple of â&#x20AC;Ś mistakes and it ends up in your net.â&#x20AC;?

After Landeskog and Mitchell made it three goals on seven shots against Crawford, Hawks coach Joel Quenneville had seen enough and replaced the starting netminder with Antti Raanta. The rookie, who was recalled from Rockford of the AHL on Sunday to replace the injured Nikolai Khabibulin, allowed two goals on 16 shots in his NHL debut.

Netminder Semyon Varlamov was stingy against the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top scoring team, allowing only Brandon Saadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-period score while stopping 36 shots.

Patrick Kane notched an assist on his 25th birthday, but this was the Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first game this season when the offense didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t generate at least two goals.

The defending Stanley Cup champions fell for the second time in their last three games as the Avalanche again took it them in their first appearance in the high altitude of the season.

Uihlein first American to win Euro rookie award in 53 years

s 0ACERS AT +NICKS %30.

BY DOUG FERGUSON !0 'OLF 7RITER

NAPLES, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The road less traveled brought Peter Uihlein back to a familiar place.

He was home in South Florida, finally, after a remarkable golf season that took some unexpected turns while covering six tours in 18 countries, three U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

In the hours before the New England Patriots kicked off Monday night â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his kind of football â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he kept busy by replying to messages on Twitter congratulating him for being the first American to win European Tour rookie of the year in the 53-year history of the Sir Henry Cotton Award.

He might not be the last American to win the award.

As Uihlein was wrapping up his season with three more stamps in his passport â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Shanghai, Turkey and Dubai â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four Americans earned European Tour cards at Q-school in Spain.

Uihlein knows them all.

One is John Hahn, whom Uihlein beat in 19 holes to advance to the quarterfinals of the 2010 U.S. Amateur that he won at Chambers Bay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Looks like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have some company next year,â&#x20AC;? Uihlein tweeted last week.

AP

Peter Uihlein poses with his trophy after winning the Madeira Islands Open on May 19 in Machico, Portugal. Uihlein became the first American to win European Tour rookie of the year.

While this doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t constitute a mass exodus to Europe, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least a trickle. One reason behind more Americans trying to get European Tour cards is because the PGA Tour now only awards Web.com Tour cards at its Q-school.

For those who want to try, Uihlein and Brooks Koepka left a global trail to follow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an option for American guys, especially now that Q-school works a little strange,â&#x20AC;?

Matteo Manassero of Italy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They can come here and get a full card. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to see Peter making the effort here. He deserves all the success he got.â&#x20AC;?

Uihlein and Koepka, his roommate whenever they both make it back to Florida, both started the year on the Challenge Tour. Uihlein won the Madeira Islands Open in Portugal to get his card.

He had a pair of runnerup finishes in September, and ended the year at No. 14 on the money list.

Koepka won three times on the Challenge Tour for an instant promotion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter and Brooks have both come over and taken very well to the lifestyle,â&#x20AC;? Thomas Bjorn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re two very good kids. Peter, first of all, is a brilliant golfer. I think he realized when he started playing in

Europe that, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hang on here, I can compete.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always a tricky thing when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a young guy. You might think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good and you find out youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not that good. Or they find out theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than they think they are.â&#x20AC;?

Even as one of the top amateurs in America, Uihlein invariably was referred to as the son of Wally Uihlein, the longtime chief executive of Acushnet, makers of Titleist equipment and FootJoy shoes. He developed his own identity as a two-time Walker Cup player and U.S. Amateur champion.

And now? Mention â&#x20AC;&#x153;Peter Uihleinâ&#x20AC;? to the general golfing public, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s known as the American whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cutting his teeth on the European Tour. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing wrong with that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet.â&#x20AC;?

NFL AMERICAN CONFERENCE

Packers put up gaudy statistics, but few points

)NDIANAPOLIS 4ENNESSEE (OUSTON *ACKSONVILLE

BY TOM SILVERSTEIN -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

GREEN BAY, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MetLife Stadium became a wasteland of unfinished drives for the Green Bay Packers in their 27-13 loss to the New York Giants, despite outgaining their opponent 394 yards to 334.

Unless Mike McCarthy and his offensive staff figure out a way to turn 339 yards passing into more than 13 points, they might as well just cross their fingers and hope theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in playoff contention when Aaron Rodgers returns from a broken collarbone.

Nine of Scott Tolzienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24 completions were for 16 or more yards â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the minimum distance to qualify as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;explosiveâ&#x20AC;? play in the Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lexicon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including six that ranged from 18 to 52 yards. Even with three interceptions, Tolzien easily could have had the Packers on the other side of the ledger, if he had been able to finish a couple of drives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have never seen a quarterback hit all his big throws like that in a game,â&#x20AC;? said McCarthy, who is in his 27th year coaching in the professional and college ranks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think of another time in my career that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had someone hit every one. Every big shot we called [Sunday], we hit them.â&#x20AC;?

Six of the Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 12 series featured at least one â&#x20AC;&#x153;explosiveâ&#x20AC;? play, yet only two of them resulted in scores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a touchdown and a field goal. The rest ended, in order: punt, interception, downs and downs.

Packers quarterback Scott Tolzien talks with quarterback Aaron Rodgers during Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game against the New York Giants in East Rutherford, N.J. The Giants won the game 27-13.

Tolzien file Born: 3EPT

High school: &REMD College: 7ISCONSIN FYI: ,ED "ADGERS TO 2OSE "OWL !PPEARED WITH #HAR GERS AND ERS BEFORE SIGN ING WITH 0ACKERS ON 3EPT 7ENT FROM PRACTICE SQUAD TO ACTIVE ROSTER WHEN Aaron Rodgers WAS INJURED 3TARTED PAST TWO GAMES n LOSSES TO THE %AGLES AND 'IANTS As offensive coordinator Tom Clements pointed out, there was a hollow feeling to the terrific pass numbers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made some big plays down the field, had a lot of passing yardage,â&#x20AC;? he said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, so what, we had a lot of passing yardage. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score points.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the biggest thing.â&#x20AC;?

As the Packers prepare this week for the Minnesota Vikings, their focus has to be on what they can do to make Tolzien more successful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; McCarthy named Tolzien his starter again this week without unequivocally ruling out Rodgers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and apply whatever lessons they learned in the Giants game.

One McCarthy will have to consider is not being as stubborn about running the ball against a defense devoting so many players to the line of scrimmage as the Giants did Sunday.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s almost preposterous that such a thing could even occur, given McCarthyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous devotion to the passing game.

As McCarthy notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;as soon as we got off the bus,â&#x20AC;? the Giants were playing eight men in the box with only a single

safety to cover the middle of the field. One can imagine that if Rodgers were under center in that situation, McCarthy might have thrown it 50 times.

Once McCarthy saw he was running into a brick wall against the Giants, he began running more play-action passes, but he also kept ramming rookie Eddie Lacy into the teeth of the defense. Lacy ran 14 times for 17 yards, and John Kuhn and James Starks combined for three carries for 11 yards. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a plan based on the personnel that we have,â&#x20AC;? Clements said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not just the quarterback, but everyone involved.

And obviously, you make adjustments during the course of the game as needed. It just took us awhile to get going. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t productive running the ball as much as we would have liked.â&#x20AC;?

It also goes for the pair of oop.â&#x20AC;? As for what happened in the defensive backs who appeared to be trying to grab the ball instead of huddle, Staubach recalled: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Make the in-route and go deep.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; swat it away on what turned into We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even really call a play.

Slimmest of odds

Roger Staubach was watching on TV a couple of weekends ago.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton completed a 51-yard pass for a tying touchdown on the final play of regulation against Super Bowl champion Baltimore, aided by a Ravens defender accidentally tipping the football toward a receiver.

The official NFL game summaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s description contained these words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A.J. Green catches hail mary pass.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was kidding my wife. I said to her, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That was not only a Hail Mary, that was an Our Father,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Staubach, the Hall of Fame quarterback widely credited with adding the religious reference for a desperation pass to the NFL lexicon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That play was amazing.â&#x20AC;?

And exceedingly rare. That Dalton-Green connection, set up

by Ravens safety James Ihedigboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deflection in the end zone, represents one of only two times since the start of the 2008 season that an NFL team scored a TD off a throw of 50 or more yards in the final

Carey lauds wide receiver for work ethic BROWN

The junior from Morgan Park finished with eight catches for 209 yards and two touchdowns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first 100yard receiving day of his career, and only the seventh 200-yard game in school history.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping for more of that against Toledo (7-3, 5-1 MAC) tonight, another ESPN2-televised game for the No. 16 Huskies (10-0, 6-0).

After redshirting as a freshman, Brown has

diligently worked his way into the go-to receiver role. Last season, he played behind Martel Moore and Perez Ashford and had 17 catches for 156 yards and two touchdowns.

This season, he said, is his time. He leads Huskies receivers with 689 yards and nine touchdowns on 41 catches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you redshirt, you wait patiently and you wait your turn,â&#x20AC;?

Brown said.

NIU coach Rod Carey said Brown has slipped seamlessly into the role, in part because of his

work ethic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a choice,â&#x20AC;? Carey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He had to make a conscious decision that, OK, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to step into that role and be that guy.

That bleeds into your work habits.â&#x20AC;?

Rivalry week: NIU owns a three-game winning streak against Toledo, but the Rockets have won 29 of 40 meetings overall and 19 of 27 as MAC opponents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with two good football programs,â&#x20AC;? Carey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got two good football programs,

youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play for something that matters.â&#x20AC;?

Switching sidelines:

Toledo defensive coordinator Tom Matukewicz was the NIU linebackers coach from 2008-11 under former coaches Jerry Kill and Dave Doeren. He served as the interim coach for the 2010 Humanitarian Bowl, a 40-17 victory against Fresno State. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done a great job with improving fundamentals,â&#x20AC;? Toledo coach Matt Campbell said. He said Matukewicz has â&#x20AC;&#x153;brought a positive energyâ&#x20AC;? to the Rockets.

Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brooke Bailey (right) gets a hand in and fouls Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gabby Sandoval during their Sauk Valley Shootout game Tuesday night at Lancaster Gym.

Dixon misses chances to rally SPEED

CONTINUED FROM B1

Those strengths included the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; height in the post and athleticism around the perimeter.

While Harris (12 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 1 block) and Kaitlyn Bauer (10 points, 4 rebounds) did damage down low, Gabby Sandoval (16 points) hit some big third-quarter 3s and chased Dixon standout Brooke Bailey around most of the night.

Bailey, who signed a National Letter of Intent to play basketball at Truman State in Kirksville, Mo., on Tuesday afternoon, attempted all but six of Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22 first-half shots, but struggled to find the bottom of the net. She finished with a game-high 19 points, but it came on 7-for-23 shooting; she hit all four of her free throws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our shots werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going in like we wanted, and mine especially werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going in,â&#x20AC;? said Bailey, who also had three assists, three steals and Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lone block. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We executed well on defense, but our offense couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it going.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to make sure Brooke didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get any easy shots,â&#x20AC;? Sandoval said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we had some great help defense on her tonight.â&#x20AC;?

P M 4HURSDAY Sterling closed the first quarter on a 9-2 run, capped by Halie Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-pointer with 10 seconds left. The Warriors opened the second period with a 10-0 spurt, building a 23-8 lead with 3:45 left before halftime.

It proved to be a hole the Duchesses couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dig out of. Dixon got no closer than nine points the rest of the way, despite plenty of opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we make shots, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a totally different feeling in the gym and in the game,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started getting the ball into the post in the second half, and I thought we showed glimpses of what our offense will be able to do.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But tonight was just our second game, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll grow from this and get some scoring to go with our steady defense.â&#x20AC;?

Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chance came in the third quarter, when Sterling started turning the ball over. Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up-and-under move and a Carly Hartle free throw cut Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead to 29-19, but Harris found Bauer on a pretty fast-break pass for a layup, then Sandoval nailed a 3 near the top of the key to push the margin back to 34-19.

The next 4 minutes belonged to the Duchesses, as Sterling went scoreless. But Dixon managed only six points in the stretch, on a Bailey pull-up jumper in the lane, a Hartle post bucket off a Bailey pass, and two free throws

by Isabelle Shiaras.

And when Sandoval buried another 3 near the top of the key in the final minute of the third period, Sterling stretched its lead to 37-25 and never looked back. The Warriors shot 17-for-31 from the field (54.8 percent), and had 12 fast-break points to Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all know with Stephanie [Kester] being gone, we have a lot of 3-point shooting to replace,â&#x20AC;? Sandoval said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But everybody on the team is trying to pick up a little bit of the slack, and we hit some big outside shots tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Astrograph Discuss sensitive issues.

Wednesday, November 20, 2013 Take the necessary measures to secure your financial position.

Make personal investments that are unique to you and do not require other parties to be involved. Your intuitive perceptions will increase your confidence and enable you to move forward in a pragmatic and precise manner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Discuss sensitive issues, and you will find workable solutions. A personal relationship will benefit if you take a unique approach to domestic duties. Follow your heart.

compromise, but you won’t take the brunt of the responsibility alone.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -You will have the upper hand.

Don’t stop when there is so much to gain. Wheel and deal until you get what you want. An emotional relationship will be best dealt with passionately.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Everything will be dependent on how you get along with others.

Reach for equality, and you will find common ground that will bring you closer to your goals.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Altering where or how you live may lead to an emotional situation, but once you do, it will eventually prove to be a good choice. Don’t let anyone manipulate you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Shop around and look for bargains.

Heading for a destination that offers information and a chance to share with someone you enjoy being with should highlight your day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make your move. Strategy coupled with insight and a little luck will lead to victory. Put personal relationships first. Pay attention to what your friends and family respond to most favorably.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Work toward getting whatever is expected of you out of the way.

You will discover a talent you didn’t know you had if you offer to help someone in need.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -Don’t ignore the facts. Listen and assure anyone who has concerns that you are aware and willing to

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Expand your interests and explore what life has to offer. Subscribe to something that will help you broaden your perspective and choices. Follow your heart and

make a positive change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Make the changes you desire, but do so discreetly. The less people know about what you are up to, the less interference you will face.

Don’t take on responsibilities you cannot handle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Getting in touch with people you have worked with in the past will bring about new opportunities.

Mix business with pleasure, and you will please everyone and secure your position.
