SERVING ROCK FALLS, STERLING AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1854

LEE COUNTY

Man found on I-88 identified At least one 911 call was made the night before, hours before body discovered

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

DIXON – The body of an Iowa man found Wednesday along Interstate 88 wasn’t discovered until nearly 12 hours after police first received a call about

the man from a motorist.

State police on Thursday identified the man as Lee E. Catlin, 65, of Bettendorf. His body was found on I-88 just west of Dixon, next to the Hoyle Road overpass, his feet pointing toward the road.

Police said they didn’t know how the man got there or what his cause of death was.

Catlin was found about 8 a.m.

Wednesday, almost 12 hours after Bob Brouch, 52, made a 911 call to report a man on the shoulder of the highway.

Brouch and his wife were driving back home to Aurora from the Quad Cities.

“All of a sudden, there’s this person lying on the side of the road waving his arms, and I’m shocked, startled,” Brouch said. “I pull over, and I had to

back up just maybe 10 yards so I could read a mile marker.”

At 8:40 p.m., he called 911, and a woman’s voice answered.

DIXON – The Dixon school district paid Robert Campbell, who was recently arrested on sexual abuse charges, to lead four musical performances.

The school board approved Campbell’s hire in December 2009 and subRobert sequently paid him Campbell $3,076 each year as the vocal director for the high school’s spring musical, Superintendent Michael Juenger said.

Campbell, 31, was arrested Nov. 4 on three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse against one of his former students at Dixon’s VIVA! Performing Arts School, 113 E. First St., where he was employed as the vocal instructor. According to police, that also is where the student says the abuse happened.

According to police, the student sent Juenger and other district administrators an email about the abuse Nov. 3.

HEALTH CARE REFORM

Obama to allow canceled health plans WASHINGTON (AP) – His personal and political credibility on the line, President Barack Obama reversed course Thursday and said millions of Americans should be allowed to renew individual coverage plans now ticketed for cancellation under the health care law that is likely to be at the heart of the 2014 elections.

The immediate impact on consumers was

unclear, though both industry spokesmen and state insurance commissioners swiftly warned that higher prices could result from the president’s rapid turnaround.

Under pressure from consumers as well as congressional Democrats, Obama said the admin-

istration no longer would require insurance companies to jettison current individual and small group plans that fall short of the minimum coverage standards under the law, effectively shifting responsibility for cancellations to the industry itself.

District still working with three VIVA! employees SUSPECT

CONTINUED FROM A1

The investigation began when Juenger contacted Dixon Police Chief Danny Langloss.

Campbell was approved for a fifth performance, Juenger said, but a decision to cancel that would have to come from the school board, which next meets Nov. 20. That cancellation wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be on the agenda because there is no rush to make a decision on the March performance, and Juenger said he wants the district to operate with the mindset that Campbell is innocent until proved guilty.

A decision on the approval for the fifth musical performance is expected to be made by January, Juenger said.

Campbell was paid by the school district for his work with the high school musicals, but not the middle school plays, Juenger said.

The school district still is working with three female VIVA! employees, one of whom is involved with the middle school performance Campbell was working on at the time of his arrest. Two others are working with students on a violin performance.

Those volunteering or working with students are given background checks before they start, Juenger said.

If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance the volunteer will be alone with students, the background check is more extensive than if the person is volunteering, for example, to be a room mom or a position in which the person will always be in the line of sight of a staff member, like a teacher or principal, Juenger said.

The more extensive background check, which was given to Campbell and the other VIVA! instructors, includes fingerprints taken to the Illinois State Police and a criminal history report being compiled, Juenger explained. The less extensive background check involves online registries, he said.

After the two middle school performances and a violin performance Nov. 25, school officials will meet with VIVA! to discuss possible changes, Juenger said. The school district, he said, is reviewing its policies.

Juenger said such policies are regularly reviewed, but that it never hurts to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re current and being enforced.

Sewer project problems reported by township Official wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t explain what they are

BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 525

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sterling Township recently reported on the possibility of problems with a sewer project that it completed 2 years ago, an official says.

At a township meeting in September, Road Commissioner Dana Stutzke, who was elected in April, told the board of trustees about problems with the project, according to meeting minutes.

Youth club covering utilities

He said he had met with former Commissioner Jim Lopez about the situation. Legal counsel would be sought, the minutes state.

In an interview after Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board meeting, Stutzke declined to comment on the issues. He said he was trying to verify some facts from things he had heard.

In 2011, the township completed a sewer project that connected about a dozen houses

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Earlier this year, Sterling Township closed its thrift store, which was intended to raise money for its youth center.

The township shut the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doors BECAUSE OF !MERICANS 7ITH $ISABILITIES !CT ISSUES Last year, the township paid $190,000 FOR THE FORMER !BIDING 7ORD #HURCH BUILD ING AT % &OURTH 3T FOR THE #ENTER for Youth. The township set up the thrift on McCue Road near West LeFevre Road with Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s city sewer system.

So far, none of the residents has started using

store, with the proceeds going toward paying for the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utilities, which were estimated at $400 to $500 a month.

The building was for the group, Giving 0OWER TO !DOLESCENTS A CLUB FOR NINTH to 12th-graders.

To cover the utilities, Township Supervisor Matt Howze said, the youth club has teamed up with different organizations to raise the money. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; David Giuliani

ty taxes paid for the $395,000 project.

In a 2011 interview, Lopez said residents in neighboring Hopkins Township might even-

tually want to connect to the system, but a Hopkins resident said at the time that residents i n G ri m e s A d d it i o n , west of McCue Road, were not interested in doing that.

The township looks for areas to connect to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sewer system, Lopez said in 2011. The township had asked residents on 28th Street, whose backyards were filling up with water as the result of septic systems, to link up to the city system, but they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested, he said.

He greatly enjoyed volunteering with Adopt-A-Block on Saturday mornings in Freeport, building relationships with any-

one God brought his way. Many people were touched by Mikeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s love for the Lord and how it was shown in all he did and to all he met. He enjoyed spending time with his beloved dog, Kloe.

Survivors include his wife, Connie; daughter, Heather (Brian Montalbano) Zuck of Murfreesboro, Tenn.; son, Adam Zuck of Shannon; sisters, Susan (Charlie) Winterton of Leaf River and Karen (Mike) Bushman of Lanark; and brothers, Robert (Connie) Zuck of Lanark, Jim (Vicki) Zuck of Chadwick, and David (Carolyn) Zuck of Dakota.

Coloma official says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay penalties herself COLOMA

Township Supervisor Matt Howze told her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever you need, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be glad to help out.â&#x20AC;?

Coloma also has acknowledged numerous errors in its annual financial reports published in the newspaper. Many expense and revenue items listed the same amounts year after year, which would be a highly unlikely occurrence.

Burke told the board that Coloma didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have financial problems, only financial reporting issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to emphasize that no taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; money is at risk,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know there is a problem. We will work to correct it.â&#x20AC;?

Burke said she discovered that internal computer printouts contained errors. The bank statements, she said, were more reliable.

Burke said she had done new reports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have someone check my math,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That seems to be my issue. Sorry about that one.â&#x20AC;?

Trustee Mary Ann Richardson presented a list of township checks that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cleared.

Burke, who has served as treasurer since 1981, said that was because they were repeats of electronic checks. The hard copy versions were created so that there was a paper trail.

For much of the meeting, the trustees went line by line through the finances to check on Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

CONTINUED FROM A1

In an interview last week, Coloma Supervisor Debra Burke took the blame in a tearful interview, saying she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t good at math. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If there is a fine, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take the responsibility, so it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall on the township,â&#x20AC;? Burke told the board Thursday.

Erby told the board that a comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s employee called her, saying that he was looking for a response. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted you to be aware of the daily penalties,â&#x20AC;? Erby said.

Trustee Gene Jacoby asked that Burke keep the board updated on her dealings with the comptroller.

The township meeting was after hours, so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t immediately clear how willing the state would be to reduce or eliminate the penalties.

Every other public entity in Whiteside County is updated with its financial reports at the comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, including the other 21 townships, all but one of which are smaller than Coloma.

Burke told the board that she is in talks with another township about an intergovernmental agreement for bookkeeping.

When trustees asked her which township, she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say at first, but later acknowledged it was Sterling Township.

She said Sterling

Autopsy rules out foul play as factor IDENTIFIED

According to a news release, state police were dispatched to a call reporting a man on the shoulder, but they were unable to find anyone or any activity in the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved on because I was assured that my call was consistent with other information and that I had been assured a response was being made,â&#x20AC;? Brouch said.

An autopsy Thursday by the Lee County coronerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office did determine foul play was not a factor.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Illinois State Police at 815-632-4010, ext.

220.

CONTINUED FROM A1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told her, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a person lying on the side of 88 waving his arms toward traffic,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Brouch said.

He relayed his location and the mile marker to the woman on the phone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; twice, even, he thinks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She said that information is consistent with â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if she said plural â&#x20AC;&#x201C; other information that she received, or something to that effect, and that there was a response underway,â&#x20AC;?

Brouch said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said someone was on the way.â&#x20AC;?

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE | POLITICS

Senate hopeful urges pension solution But Anderson offers no specifics on how to fix state problem

BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com

EXT

Neil Anderson, a Republican state Senate candidate, says Illinois needs to fix its pension systems, but he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given specifics on how to do that.

He is running for the Republican nomination in the 36th Senate District, which includes Whiteside County. He is the only candidate so far in the March primary.

The Democratic incumbent is Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-East Moline.

In a telephone inter-

view Thursday, Anderson declined to say how he would handle pension issues such as raising employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; contributions, increasing the retirement age and cutting cost-of-living increases.

But he said he wanted to avoid violating the state constitutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban on diminishing earned pension benefits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The constitution has very strong language,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson, a Moline firefighter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is only one other state with such strong language â&#x20AC;&#x201C; New York. Its pension system is on the path to fiscal solvency. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the only state that has not passed comprehensive reform.â&#x20AC;?

The Chicago-based Illi-

nois Policy Institute, a conservative think tank, rec ommends converting Neil employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Anderson benefits to 401(k)-style plans, following what much of the private sector already does.

Anderson said he would be open to 401(k) plans for future employees, but not current ones, noting the constitutional ban.

He would not say whether he would support the plan by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, which many House Republicans supported. That plan would have required

workers to contribute more, cut benefits and raised the retirement age.

He also would not comment on the plan by Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, which would have given workers and retirees choices for their benefits. Jacobs voted for it.

The Madigan plan would be much more aggressive in reducing the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $100 billion in pension liability.

Anderson noted that the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pension debt has caused repeated credit downgrades for the state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The pension system needs to be fixed,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the race progresses, I will give clear and precise ideas [on pensions].â&#x20AC;?

On the issue of samesex marriage, Anderson declined to state his view. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not interested in talking about that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the last thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m thinking about.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, the campaigns for Jacobs and his Republican opponent, Bill Albracht, raised more than $1 million combined. Jacobs handily defeated Albracht.

Despite the defeat, the GOP is targeting the 36th District this year. Senate Republican Leader Christine Radogno showed up for Andersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign event in Rock Falls last weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are the No. 1 race in the Senate this year,â&#x20AC;?

Anderson said.

Most Republicans

oppose same-sex marriage, which the Legislature recently voted to allow. Gov. Pat Quinn is set to sign the bill into law Wednesday.

Anderson makes $53,000 a year as a firefighter. He plans to take a leave of absence from his position if elected, and promised not to accept the health-care and pension benefits available to legislators.

Anderson said he is limiting himself to three terms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first thing people in office worry about is getting re-elected,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of career politicians who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make tough decisions. They want to ride the fence.â&#x20AC;?

ASHTON

Benefit for local firefighter battling cancer set for Saturday STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com

EXT

ASHTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 5K walk/ run will take place Saturday to help an Ashton firefighter battle cancer.

Anna Richter recently was diagnosed with metastatic malignant melanoma. She is the daughter of Bernard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stubâ&#x20AC;? Richter of Ashton and Tammy Powell of Rochelle, and has a son, Michael, 8. Anna works at Crest Foods in Ashton. She joined

2014 ELECTION| ILLINOIS GOVERNOR

Rauner donates $500K to his campaign CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Republican Bruce Rauner has made a $500,000 donation to his campaign for Illinois governor, lifting the caps on political contributions for everyone in the 2014 race and ensuring a bigmoney battle for the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top job.

The personal donation removes from the race a key piece of campaign finance reforms that lawmakers approved in the wake of the scandal involving nowimprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. And if Rauner doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t win the four-way GOP primary, his move could end up providing an unintended fundraising advantage to Gov. Pat Quinn, who has no major challenger for the Democratic nomination.

Rauner campaign

spokesman Mike Schrimpf said the donation was made Wednesday. It will help pay for television ads that the wealthy businessman and political newcomer plans as he tries to increase his name recognition.

Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to use his wealth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his ability to raise money from others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to drown out his primary rivals and wage a full-throttled attack on Quinn.

But his opponents and political observers note the contribution and the ads are also a sign Rauner needs to spend money that the others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel they need to spend at this point in the campaign.

His fellow GOP candidates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; state Sens.

Bill Brady and Kirk Dillard and state Treasurer Dan Rutherford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all are

better-known to voters because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve held public office for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clearly (the Rauner campaign) felt like they need to raise his visibility,â&#x20AC;? said Kent Redfield, professor emeritus of political science professor at the University of Illinois Springfield. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s necessary for him to do this. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work or not, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to say.â&#x20AC;?

If the Morrison City Council approves a proposed ordinance at its Nov. 25 meeting, a new version of the slogan will apply: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Start seeing golf carts.â&#x20AC;?

This week, council members discussed the ordinance that would allow people, under certain circumstances, conditions and restrictions, to drive street-legal golf carts and off-road recreational vehicles on city streets where the speed

limit is 25 miles an hour or less.

To be legally driven on a city street, a golf cart would have to have such equipment as headlights, tail lamps, brake lights, turn signals, rearview mirrors, and a slow-moving emblem.

Operators would have to possess driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licenses. Child restraint laws would have to be followed. Carts could be driven only during daylight hours. The maximum speed would be 20 mph.

Operators could not drive on state highways and county roads but could cross them.

To our knowledge, Morrison would be the

What we think If the Morrison City Council allows golf carts to be driven legally on city streets, safety issues must be adequately addressed. first municipality in the Sauk Valley to permit golf carts and off-road recreational vehicles on its streets.

Mayor Everett Pannier has said he does not see a problem with the proposal.

Other Illinois communities have granted such access, after a 2009 law enacted by the General Assembly gave municipalities the authority to do so.

Proponents say nonhighway vehicles provide

a cheaper and more convenient means of transportation around town.

They say communities should provide residents with the option to use them.

Detractors are concerned about safety. For example, golf carts were designed, obviously, to transport golfers and their clubs around a grassy golf course, not adults and children on traffic-filled streets made of concrete and asphalt.

While the proposed ordinance attempts to deal with the safety issues, the community wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know how allowing off-road vehicles on city streets will work until the ordinance is approved.

Safety is our chief concern here. Heavy motor vehicles already must share city streets with walkers, runners, bicyclists and motorcyclists.

Adding golf carts and offroad recreational vehicles to the mix doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sound wise to us.

The proposal comes as Morrison prepares to observe the first anniversary of the enactment of its citywide speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The

city lowered its speed limit from 30 to 25 mph on Dec. 1, 2012, in an effort to make its streets safer for residents.

That was a courageous step forward.

We fear that, by allowing vehicles not designed for street use to traverse city streets, Morrison might make its streets less safe for all, which would be an unfortunate step backward.

We could be wrong.

Perhaps the benefits outweigh the risks.

If the ordinance is approved, we encourage a well-publicized campaign to alert motorists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and motorcyclists â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that they will need to â&#x20AC;&#x153;start seeing golf carts.â&#x20AC;?

Prognosis for Obamacare isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improving People losing coverage; some must pay more

most important Obamacare unknowns: Will young people sign up for coverage? If not, massively increased costs will outstrip pumped-up revenues, exerting tremendous financial pressure on the whole scheme.

Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

Fewer than 50,000 people had signed up for Obamacare by late last week in the 36 states that use the federal health care exchange, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is expected to release national numbers this week, and they are expected to be underwhelming, too. [The nationwide sign-up was 106,000 in October, according to the Associated Press.] The administration expected 800,000 would sign up for Obamacare by the end of November.

That huge gap is not surprising, considering the website is less accessible than Antarctica.

The problems may not be resolved by the administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promised deadline at the end of the month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where we are is not where we want to be,â&#x20AC;? Obamacare fix-it guru Jeff Zients said last week.

LOSING OCTOBER AND November to the computer meltdown means that millions of people will have, at best, days to cram through the insurance enrollment system

by Dec. 15 if they want cov-

erage that begins on Jan. 1, writes James Capretta of the American Enterprise Institute.

If they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it will be nearly impossible to process the enrollments fast enough to prevent breaks in insurance coverage at the beginning of 2014.â&#x20AC;? Caprettaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction: â&#x20AC;&#x153;some very large number of Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; probably in the millions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will experience a break in insurance coverage at the beginning of 2014.â&#x20AC;?

Most of the chaos has focused on the individual consumer market, in which millions of people have received cancellation notices or face higher premiums.

President Barack Obama has apologized for his oft-repeated promise that people who liked their doctors and policies could keep them. Many people are learning that they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

People who are covered through employer-sponsored

insurance plans may believe they are shielded from the Obamacare surprises, but that might not be the case. Some 23 million to 41 million Americans have employer-sponsored plans that have or will change under the law, according to an analysis by McClatchyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Washington Bureau. That could usher in higher premiums and other cost hikes for those who are covered.

One of the biggest and

MANY YOUNG PEOPLE will pay more for coverage than they do now. Carl Schramm, professor of entrepreneurship at Syracuse University, wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;a Manhattan Institute analysis of Health and Human Services numbers notes that a 27-year-old male will pay 99 percent higher premiums under Obamacare than he would under previously prevailing market rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One reason is the law now limits insurers to charging the sickest seniors no more than three times the amount they charge their youngest customers. Given that 64-year-olds use on average six times as much health care as 19-year-olds, the Affordable Care Act forces young people to pay considerably more than the cost of their own care.â&#x20AC;?

The reality of Obamacare comes into sharper focus every day. More Americans lose coverage or learn theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to pay much more.

A Silicon Valley SWAT team may rescue the website, but the only way to rescue the Affordable Care Act will be a complete congressional reimagining of the law.

THE READERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VOICE

Humanitarian needs should be served first DAVID SHEETS Rochelle

Recently, I was asked about the $40 million that the city of Dixon will receive and what should be done with it. First of all, I gave the glory to God; it was an answer to intercessory prayer during a 21-day fast of reading the Holy Bible, and that others were praying for.

What should be done with the money?

I said 10 percent, or $4 million, should be set aside in a separate

account, for the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will, meeting such humanitarian needs as the food pantry, PADS shelter, Volunteer Care Center health needs, and the Red Cross, to name a few ideas. After all, all is his anyway.

Then repair the breach of the city wall, otherwise known as the Old Lee County Courthouse lawn, where a nativity scene and military cemetery honoring our beloved dead have been for many years, for the sacrifices they made to fight for freedom, to defend the Constitution against foreign and domestic enemies, and our way of life, with their sacred honor.

I would focus on paying

down, if not eliminating, as much debt as possible in the city budget, instead of going on a reckless spending spree, as some are in a habit of doing.

One last thing I would mention, as a community project that should bring a positive unity result, is the restoration of the Memorial Pool that Ronald Reagan, the 40th president, dedicated so long ago.

When the arrest made local, national, and international news, all eyes were focused on Dixon because who and what Ronald Reagan had accomplished by saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.â&#x20AC;? That is the power of working with the glory of God.

Earth Angel correspondents, bakers wanted LINDA STRAITH Mount Morris

Each year at this time, Granny and her Earth Angels begin getting ready for the holiday season by gathering names and toys for children of families in need.

In addition, a few years ago, Grannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbags were established to gather cards and letters filled with loving thoughts, prayers, and holiday wishes for our deployed soldiers abroad, along with our hopes of their safe return.

So this year, when you

are writing to friends and family, please take an extra moment and write a card or letter for a soldier this Christmas, and then deposit it into one of Grannyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mailbags at any drop site location. No postage is required.

With your contribution, military personnel will know that we, here at home, havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forgotten them after all. Deadline for all correspondence is Dec. 1.

I am also looking for some bakers. Santa, Rudolph and Earth Angel volunteers will need some cookies or baked goods for energy food for the days of Dec. 21-25. When making your holiday goodies, kindly remember us by

DAY TRIP

Holiday theme makes settlement warm Stepping back in time has never been easier in Naperville

BY ANDREA MILLS amills@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 575

N

APERVILLE – The sights and sounds of the December holidays already can be seen in the modern world. They also can be seen as they were in the 19th century by taking a journey to Naper Settlement.

Events are planned at this living history site to shed light on how it used to be. At this time of year, the buildings are open only for special occasions, such as the Holiday Mansion Tours.

On Dec. 7, 8, 14 and 15, guided tours are offered of the Martin Mitchell Mansion and its carriage house. The mansion will be filled with Victorian holiday decorations. Also open will be the Daniels House, which will be the place to go for gift ideas.

The shopping hours are 11 a.m to 2 p.m. on the two Saturdays and 1 to 3 p.m. on the Sundays.

If visiting on Dec. 8, an additional choice for entertainment is the lecture, “Stories Behind Our Most Loved Christmas Hymns and Carols.”

Rochelle Pennington, an author, will talk in the late afternoon about the history behind the Christmas carols.

Another treat will take visitors into Victorian holiday traditions on Dec. 14. Again, a guided tour of the Martin Mitchell Mansion, still in its holiday garb, is in store.

After that tour, the guests will move on to the 1834 tavern for a presentation on the holiday traditions topic. There is walking outdoors; be sure to dress accordingly.

As the old year goes out and the new one arrives, Naper Settlement will seem to be at Downton Abbey. Three programs are planned from Jan. 4 to Feb. 2 at the meeting house. They are suitable for teens and adults.

Hideous hog keeps winning

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Victor Mollo wrote humorous stories featuring his “menagerie” of bridge players.

When he died in 1987, everyone assumed that would be that. However, many unpublished articles have been found among his papers.

These are being put into four books. “The Hog Takes to Precision” came out in 2011, “Diamonds Are the Hog’s Best Friend”appeared this year, and stay tuned for the other two. All are published

by Master Point Press.

The Rueful Rabbit is a poor player who always lands on his feet. This deal is a typical example. North has a problem over two no-trump.

He might pass; or he could respond three clubs, Stayman, planning on either bid-

ding four hearts if a 4-4 fit is disclosed, or settling for three no-trump and hoping the diamonds run.

In this auction, North-South had agreed to use transfer

bids, but North forgot. So he assumed South’s three-heart rebid indicated length in that suit.

Against four hearts, West led the spade king (luckily not a trump). The Rueful Rabbit ruffed in the dummy, played a diamond to his ace, trumped another spade, returned to the diamond king, ruffed a third spade, and took two club tricks ending on the board. After a brief pause, R.R. trumped a diamond with his heart jack.

West had to discard a spade.

Then a fourth spade ruff was followed by another diamond.

With this coup en passant, East could not stop South from scoring his heart king.

Four hearts bid and made.

Wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wild past puts marriage in jeopardy Dear Abby: This is my wifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second marriage.

When we were dating, she led me to believe that I was the second sexual partner she had ever had. Shortly after our wedding, I found out through some mutual acquaintances she had attended college with that she had been very promiscuous during her college years and that the number of men she has been with is far greater than two.

I feel lied to and trapped in my marriage.

(If I had known this, I

ters to ME. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but wonder if she has lied to me about something this important, what else will she lie to me about?

I love her and want to stay with her, but I feel betrayed and, frankly, embarrassed by her now.

What do I do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Confounded in the South

would not have married her.) She knows I know.

She dismissed it by saying the past doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter, but what she fails to recognize is that it mat-

Dear Confounded: People lie when they feel threatened, when they want to impress someone or when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ashamed of something.

The lie your wife told you may fall into the latter category. She wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t honest about the number of men she had been with because she knew you would react the way you have.

You say you love her, but if you truly feel embarrassed by the fact that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not the second man she has slept with, then you either need to change your attitude or do her a favor and think about ending your marriage. From my perspective, the number of lovers she has had

since the wedding is far more important than the number she had before.

Please be aware that many women in our society have had multiple partners, so if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to replace your wife anytime soon, you may be hard pressed to find a woman with no experience. If you want to salvage your marriage, I strongly recommend you talk to a therapist, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spend your money unless you can forgive your wife for being afraid to tell you the truth.

Dear Abby: What do you do with a husband who is loud and rude, who curses constantly and argues with you and the TV, and is a bully to you and your daughter? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s It in a Nutshell Dear Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s It: As little as possible!

THE

GOOD SHEPHERD LUTHERAN,

CHURCH

The great American philosopher and psychologist William James was fond of saying that when the outcome of some endeavor was in question, we would do well to believe what is in our best interest to believe. For example, if we are in a social situation where we are wondering whether someone is a friend or a foe, we are much better off assuming that they are a friend, because then we are likely to act in a friendly way toward them, and thus our belief that this person is a friend FIGSQIW E WIPJ JYP½PPMRK TVSTLIG] 0MOI[MWI MJ [I EVI EXXIQTXMRK WSQI HMJ½GYPX XEWO MX MX [MPP FI FIXXIV XS FIPMIZI XLEX [I GER HS MX ERH XS WII XLI HMJ½GYPX] as a stimulating challenge rather than an obstacle which is destined to defeat us. As Henry Ford remarked,â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether you think you can or think you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, either way you are right.â&#x20AC;? Of course there are limits to positive thinking. Obviously we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t â&#x20AC;&#x153;thinkâ&#x20AC;? money into our bank accounts or shed pounds just by thinking that we are thin; but, in many areas of PMJI TSWMXMZI FIPMIJW LEZI E ZIV] TS[IVJYP MRžYIRGI So, we should banish all of our negative thoughts, and start thinking and believing only things that work for us.

I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.

Brooke Bailey and the rest of the Dixon girls basketball team finished practice on Monday with some full-court sprints.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always the easiest thing to do after a 2½ hour, sweat-filled session on the Lancaster Gym court, but for Bailey, it was a labor of love. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because basketball, the sport she holds dearest to her heart, was taken away this past summer.

Bailey is a senior guard for the Duchesses, and one of the top players in the area. As a junior, she stuffed the stat sheet with 17.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 3.1 assists per game.

Selig: Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s go to the replay Funding for expanded replay unanimously approved

BY RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer

Home plate umpire Dana DeMuth makes an obstruction call on Red Sox third baseman Will Middlebrooks, allowing St. Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Allen Craig (on ground) to score the game-winning run in Game 3 of the World Series on Oct. 26 in St. Louis.

ORLANDO, Fla. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Another baseball tradition is about to largely disappear: a manager, with a crazed look in his eyes, getting into a face-toface shouting match with an umpire.

Instead, most calls on the field next season will be subject to video review by umpires.

Major League Baseball took the first vote in a two-step process Thursday, unanimously approving funding for expanded instant replay in 2014. They plan to approve the new rules Jan. 16 in Paradise Valley, Ariz.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made a gigantic move today,â&#x20AC;? Commissioner Bud Selig said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is quite historic.â&#x20AC;?

Selig long opposed replay and watched from afar as it was first used by the NFL in 1986, the NHL in 1991, the NBA in 2002 and Wimbledon in 2006. Even the Little League World Series put replay in place for 2008.

MLB allowed it starting in August 2008, but in a limited manner: to determine whether potential home runs were fair or cleared fences.

Keselowski for the title.

Johnson went into the penultimate race with a seven-point lead in the standings, only to suffer a tire failure at Phoenix.

It gave Keselowski a slight lead going into the finale, but Johnson had a mechanical failure that handed Keselowski his first championship.

Johnson, who reeled off a record five titles from 2006 through 2010, came up empty for a second consecutive year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year was a good lesson for me, and I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m carrying some of that experience now in dealing with this,â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tag plays, out/safe at first, fair/foul past the bags, those are all going to be included,â&#x20AC;? said Rob Manfred, MLBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief operating officer.

So no more blown calls, like Don Denkingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at first base that turned Game 6 of the 1985 World Series, or Jim Joyceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad decision at first base that cost Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Armando Galarraga a perfect game in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to get more plays right, the ones that matter,â&#x20AC;?

Manfred said.

Manfred said when a manager wants to challenge a call, he will notify an umpire, triggering a review in New York by what are likely to be present or retired big league umps. A headset would be brought to the crew chief, who would be notified of the decision.

Selig has emphasized that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want replay to slow games, whose increased length in recent decades has been targeted for criticism. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current thinking is that if a manager comes out and argues, once he argues, he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t challenge that play,â&#x20AC;? Manfred said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One way to control the timing of challenges is to use the natural flow of the game, that is the next pitch cuts off your right to challenge.â&#x20AC;?

In tests last week at the Arizona Fall League, most reviews averaged 1 minute, 40 seconds.

Former manager Tony La Russa, now an MLB special adviser, said managers will have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;rely on their integrityâ&#x20AC;? and not cause delays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a historic opportunity,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to monitor it. If somebody plays around with it, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get called on the carpet.â&#x20AC;?

Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen was named NL MVP by a wide margin, as was Tigers third baseman Miguel Cabrera in the AL.

Cruise control for McCutchen, Cabrera Pirate CF, Tiger 3B win MVP awards with little challenge

BY BEN WALKER !0 "ASEBALL 7RITER

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen and Detroit Tigers slugger Miguel Cabrera both coasted Thursday to Most Valuable Player awards.

McCutchen won the National League honor by a surprisingly wide margin after leading a baseball revival in Pittsburgh. He drew 28 of the 30 first-place votes from members of the Baseball Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association of America.

Seated in a sweater and tie, a smiling McCutchen juked a sort of stationary shimmy when his name was announced on MLB Network. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I could get up and dance right now I would, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much room to do that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I get off camera, I probably will.â&#x20AC;?

Cabrera took the AL prize for the second straight year, again winning by a comfortable gap over Angels outfielder Mike Trout.

Cabrera said, young kids buzzing around him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so excited right now.â&#x20AC;?

McCutchen ranked among the NL leaders by hitting .317 with 21 home runs and 84 RBIs. He also scored 97 runs, stole 27 bases and had a .404 on-base percentage.

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jonathan Toews and rookie Brandon Pirri scored in a four-round shootout, and the Blackhawks beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-4 on Thursday night for their fourth straight win.

Radim Vrbata had the lone shootout goal for Phoenix, 7-1-1 in its last nine games.

Pirri tied the score 4-all 3 minutes into the third, and 4 seconds after a Chicago power play had elapsed. He connected on a mid-air deflection

Versteeg back with Hawks 4HE "LACKHAWKS HAVE ACQUIRED FORWARDS Kris Versteeg and Philippe Lefebvre from the Florida 0ANTHERS FOR FORWARD Jimmy Hayes and defenseman Dylan Olsen.

4HE TRADE WAS ANNOUNCED AFTER #HICAGO S WIN 4HURSDAY of Brent Seabrookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive from the top of the circle.

Brandon Saad, Patrick Sharp and Marian Hossa also scored in regulation for the Blackhawks, who extended their point streak to eight games (7-01). Chicago fired a seasonhigh 52 shots through overtime at Coyotes goalie

Mike Smith.

Phoenix defenseman Michael Stone scored two goals for the first time in his career as the Coyotes overcame an early two-goal deficit to earn a point.

Shane Doan and Lauri Korpikoski also scored for Phoenix. At 13-4-3, the

Coyotes are off to their best start since 1998-99 when they were 15-3-2 after 20 games.

Smith made 48 saves, and Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Corey Crawford had 26 in a wide-open, back-andforth game.

The 52 shots allowed by the Coyotes through overtime also were a season high. Smith entered having faced an NHLhigh 555 shots.

Phoenix defenseman Zbynek Michalek left after five shifts in the first period with a lower-body injury.

Bailey commits to Truman State CURE

CONTINUED FROM B1

The result was two torn ligaments in her right ankle, the first significant injury the 5-foot-6 Bailey had suffered on a basketball court.

For 5 weeks, she was in a walking boot. No surgery was performed, but she wore the boot to let the ligaments heal naturally. She also iced the foot multiple times daily.

After 5 weeks, Bailey traded in the boot for a brace. While her teammates toiled away in open gyms, a league at Westwood and a pair of shootouts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a full June of basketball â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bailey could mostly just watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the boot, I tried to get up and shoot, but Rav [Dixon coach Luke Ravlin] would tell me to sit down,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything. When I wore the brace, I could shoot, but there was no jumping.â&#x20AC;?

Ravlin noted Bailey didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss a Dixon practice or game in June, a critical month for bonding among high school basketball teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I told Brooke was to make the most of the opportunity she had,â&#x20AC;?

Ravlin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The opportunity was to be a leader from the sideline, which was very different for her.

I was really proud of the way she did that. Even though she was going through something that was negative for her, she was always very positive with her teammates.

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Dixon senior Brooke Bailey drives through a crowd of Hubs during the Duchessesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 45-36 loss to Rochelle in a 3A Sterling Regional semifinal in February. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like having another coach on the bench.â&#x20AC;?

By the end of July, Bailey was mostly healed and getting the itch to play ball again. The Midwest Elite team had a tournament coming up, and she wanted to play.

She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, heeding the advice of her doctors, as well as her parents, Scott and Tiffany. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a tense time,â&#x20AC;?

Bailey said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never sat down and not done anything.â&#x20AC;?

Toward the end of August, however, Bailey received the go-ahead for full participation.

She practiced with the Midwest Elite team, and played in a tournament on Sept. 28 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; missing Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homecoming festivities in the process.

That was a small price to pay for getting back on the court.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was easily one of the worst things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever gone through,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since I was 4 years old, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never not played.

It was hard, because I should be out there with my teams.â&#x20AC;?

By missing most of the AAU season, Bailey didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to showcase her talents in front of the college recruiters who flock to summer events.

There were some schools â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which Bailey declined to name â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that contacted her before the foot injury.

They assured her they were still interested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They saw me in September, so they were pretty supportive of my situation,â&#x20AC;? Bailey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sucky situation, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I got dealt.

They understood that, and they understand Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m back and 100 percent and working on my game.â&#x20AC;?

Truman State in Kirksville, Mo., made good on that assurance. Bailey made a verbal commitment Thursday, and will sign her letter of intent next Wednesday.

Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s numbers spoke for themselves a year ago as to the effectiveness of her all-around game.

She still wants to do all of those things, as well as raise the games of her teammates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always room for improvement in shooting and dribbling,â&#x20AC;?

Bailey said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I want to come back and be quicker and faster than I was last year. I want to be a leader on the court, not that I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was the last couple of years, but even more now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a senior now, and I want to show the underclassmen this is how they should be playing.â&#x20AC;?

Bears offensive guard Kyle Long (75) argues with Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley (98) as quarterback Jay Cutler lays on the ground during the second half Sunday in Chicago.

Fine line between good, great I

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a given around the NFL by scouts, analysts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;insidersâ&#x20AC;? and fans that one of the biggest factors in the improvement of the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense this year has been the offensive line.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a debatable point.

But, as the Bears begin their stretch run toward what they hope will be a spot in the playoffs, and as we think about next year, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to know if this offensive line is good enough.

Josh McCown said he believes the unit has made significant strides, and he assigns a lot of the credit to coaching and team-building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aaron Kromer and Pat Meyer do an outstanding job, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really gifted teachers. I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve [the linemen] done a great job of getting to know each other.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a strong bond in that group, and I think that matters, too. I think

and 11 hits Jay Cutler absorbed last week, HUBARKUSH Trestman warned not to 3HAW -EDIA make too much of the "EARS ANALYST hiccup against the Lions.

(E CAN BE â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, last week REACHED AT wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t unusual, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s HARKUSH something Detroit does SHAWMEDIA COM to a lot of teams. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very effective up front,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Individually, there are no stars in this group yet. thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shown up in the Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve warned in this space way they play and the about reading too much way they approach their into the reports and job.â&#x20AC;? grades of Pro Football Marc Trestman is Focus, but the service pleased with how far does have the same peothey have come, but ple observing every team, acknowledges there still giving some value to its is work to do. comparisons of players â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been rea- with their peers. sonably consistent in the PFF rates Roberto pass protection game,â&#x20AC;?

Matt Slauson are still making mistakes. is 14th at guard with The young guys miss a 6.7, while Kyle Long every once in a while in is 38th with a (-2.3). At terms of which way to tackle, Jermon Bushrod step and things like that.â&#x20AC;? is rated 37th with a 1.7, Referring to the meltand Jordan Mills is rated down of the running last in the league at 76th game and the two sacks with a (-26.3).

Considering Garzaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age and the possibility Long might eventually project better at tackle, it seems a given the Bears still have a significant need in the draft and free agency to upgrade the talent at all three positions.

But the bottom line today is, after finishing 10th in the NFL in rushing but 27th protecting the quarterback in 2012, the Bears now are 15th running the ball and third best in the league at keeping their QB clean.

That is a huge upgrade in pass protection, with minimal slippage in the run blocking.

Some of thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improved talent, and some of itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scheme.

Eben Britton has been in on 106, or 18 percent, of the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 598 snaps on offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of that came with Martellusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shoulders [injuries] early in the year,â&#x20AC;? Trestman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really when we made the transition. And

itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked out well for us. [Britton] has value in both the running game and in pass protection, certainly, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to maintain some balance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it was just from a pass-protection standpoint, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just been kind of an evolutionary process, but that could change as we move on.â&#x20AC;?

Before you suggest that sacrificing a receiver for a sixth offensive lineman has to hinder the passing game, consider the Bears finished 2012 29th in passing and 24th in average gain per pass play, while they stand at eighth and 10th in those categories, respectively, today.

All of this leaves no doubt Trestman knows what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing with his offense, and that he has gotten everything out of this offensive line he can.

The big question now is how much more do these offensive linemen have to give?

Too tough to rein in Indy making habit of getting down, rising up NASHVILLE, Tenn. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Indianapolis Colts just keep digging themselves into early holes, then proving they know how to come back and win.

Donald Brown ran for two touchdowns, Andrew Luck rushed for another, and the Colts rallied yet again, this time beating the Tennessee Titans 30-27 on Thursday night after trailing 14-0 in the first quarter.

Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals, including a 50-yarder, and Coby Fleener had a career-high eight catches for 107 yards to help the Colts (7-3) bounce back quite nicely from a 38-8 home loss to St. Louis. They have yet to lose back-to-back games under coach Chuck Pagano, and are 8-0 coming off a loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, starting

out like that is something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all too familiar with,â&#x20AC;? Fleener said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something we have to work and get corrected.â&#x20AC;?

The Titans (4-6) lost their second straight and fifth in six games.

Chris Johnson ran for two touchdowns and 70 yards in the first quarter, but had only 16 yards after that.

Indianapolis sealed the victory with an 11-play drive, capped

by Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11-yard TD with 3:01 left. It was the Coltsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth drive of 11 plays or more.

Luck finished 23 of 36 for 232 yards passing.

The Titans were up 17-6 at halftime and looked to be in control, as the Colts had a minimeltdown with three personal fouls, including linebacker Erik Walden head-butting Delanie Walker after ripping the helmet off the Titans tight end.

The Colts opened the third quarter with an 11-play drive on which Luck completed all five of his passes for 42 yards, including two on third down. Brown capped the drive with a 7-yard TD. Then Devon Wylie, signed to the roster Tuesday for an injured Damian Williams at returner, ran into teammate Craig Stevens and fumbled on the kickoff for Tennessee. Daniel Herron recovered for the Colts at the Titans 20, and Luck scrambled for an 11-yard TD two plays later.

The Colts forced a Tennessee three-andout, and the Titans held Indianapolis to a field goal. Vinatieri kicked his third of the night, a 50-yarder that went just over the crossbar. That capped 17 consecutive points in the third quarter, as Luck connected on his first eight passes and was 9 of 11 for 71 yards in the quarter.

Previous Solution: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans are the most generous country on the planet ... if you do your job well, they embrace you.â&#x20AC;? -Hugh Jackman (c) 2013 by NEA, Inc., dist. by Universal Uclick 11-15

Astrograph Friday, November 15, 2013 A chance to make a difference will brighten your world and give you hope for future opportunities.

Your capability and potential will draw positive attention and create quite a stir. Follow your instincts and enjoy the journey.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -There is money to be made if you put your ideas into action.

What you launch now will take everyone by surprise, leaving an excellent impression and an impact on future possibilities.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You need a diversion. Look for an interesting way to spend your day. If you interact with people from different backgrounds, you will be enriched by the information you gather.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A work-related matter will create uncertainty. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t doubt your performance or your status.

Stand behind your convictions and work diligently to reach your goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Procrastination will lead you in unproductive circles. Make a choice and stick to it before someone complains or takes over. A practical approach will be your best recourse.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Work toward personal accomplishments today. Strive to be your best and to take care of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most important to you.

Make a change if it will alleviate tension.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Taking part in a project, activity or event will broaden your outlook and your friendships.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll draw interest from someone very different from you. Enjoy collaborating with others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Question anyone asking for money or help. A snap decision regarding such matters will result in loss. Honest conversation will allow you to offer reasonable solutions. Charity begins at home.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on someone else to finish what you started. You must take ownership of your responsibilities so you can move on to the things you enjoy doing most.
