City Council amends sign code Vote 5-1 to allow signs on two sides of corner buildings

BY DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 526

DIXON – A city administrator could be recommended by the end of next week.

Of the 40 applicants for the position, three were given interviews, and one of those will receive a second interview, said

Police Chief Danny Langloss, special assistant to the City Council.

A final recommendation will be given to the City Council for approval.

Some applicants have asked for their names not to be released, until the City Council makes it final.

A comprehensive background check will be conducted once a candidate is chosen, Langloss said.

It is his hope that the recommended candidate’s name will be released before the council

takes a final vote and that the council could schedule a meet and greet for public input with the candidate present.

A team put together by Langloss reviewed résumés and conducted the interviews.

Members are: Langloss, Finance Director Paula Meyer, City Attorney Rob LeSage pro bono, KSB Hospital Human Resources Director Suzanne Ravlin, KSB President/CEO David Schreiner, Fire Cpt. Ryan Buskohl, Wastewater Foreman Tim Stover, Water Superintendent Rusty Cox and Commis-

sioners Dennis Considine and Jeff Kuhn.

The administrator will be in charge of the day-to-day operations of the city, but commissioners will have final authority in departmental matters, according to the job description.

The administrator’s salary is expected to be between $95,000 and $110,000.

In other items Monday, the City Council voted unanimously in favor of allowing a fence at 422 E. Seventh St. to extend about 5 feet into city property.

The fence was built about 7 years ago, said Building Official Paul Shiaras.

Two neighbors spoke about the fence being a visibility issue for motorists at the corner of East Seventh and Dement streets. Each commissioner disagreed, saying they had visited the corner to see for themselves.

Amy Mekeel, who lives at 420 E. Seventh St., said she has a vision disability and the fence could be a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act. CODE CONTINUED ON A4

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

STERLING – The corn maze west of Sterling may seem easy to complete, but avoid overconfidence.

Last weekend, a reporter and photographer thought they could navigate the maze at Blue Goose Run, which is in a 10-acre cornfield. With a map in hand, they developed a plan to reach the next section. After a few minutes, they ended up where they started.

The maze includes seven checkpoints, but the Sauk weather. hung over the Sauk Valley, Valley Media team reached without flashlights.

It was after 6 p.m. Saturday.

Some of the paths were still though no rain resulted. none of them. The sun was setting, and they didn’t want No one else was there – more muddy from the storms the MAZE CONTINUED ON A2 to be stuck in a field of corn than likely because of the day before. And dark clouds

MORRISON – On March 5, a snowstorm hit the Sauk Valley. At the time, the Whiteside County Highway Department was short three snowplow drivers – two were on medical leave, another on vacation.

The possibility of hiring temporary employees had been discussed, but officials had yet to make a decision.

The county deemed the storm an emergency, so Kevin Janssen, assistant superintendent of highways, joined the crew.

That resulted in a complaint from the Teamsters, which represents highway employees. A worker had expressed concern that a foreman was performing maintenance duties, contending it was a violation of the union’s contract.

The controversy was documented in the minutes of a March 7 closed session of the County Board’s Public Works Committee, which the panel voted to release last week.

According to the minutes, County Engineer Russ Renner reported he had informed the Teamsters that Janssen may help out because of the shortage.

The committee backed the department’s handling of the situation, given the shortage and hazardous road conditions.

The union contract allows supervisors to help out during emergencies. The conflict was over whether the situation involved an emergency, Renner said in an interview Monday.

Blue Goose Run also includes a restaurant and a gift shop.

Maze-goers get their tickets in the store. Vera Stutzke, the owner of Blue Goose Run, takes the money. Her son, Kurt, and other family members run the operation, setting up the checkpoints.

The maze started 13 years ago.

Stutzke, 91, has never walked in the maze. “I can’t walk really good,� she said. “I don’t know whether I’ll go another year working here. People of all ages come here. The other day, we had parents with a 2-week-old baby come through. And we have people close to 80 come here.�

The maze, she said, fools a lot of people.

Corn emerges from its husk at the Blue Goose Run corn maze. The maze covers 10 acres and is open Thursday through Sunday. “They don’t tell me where the checkpoints are,� Stutzke said. “If I knew, I’d probably tell everyone.�

The maze, which started Sept. 5, is advertised as the largest one in northwestern Illinois. Its slogan: “Come out and lose someone.�

This year’s maze will available through Nov. 3.

WHITESIDE COUNTY

OUT HERE

Renner received good reviews for first year Was Reagan really a small-government guy? Actually, no

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

MORRISON – Earlier this year, Whiteside County Engineer Russ Renner received good reviews.

Last week, the County Board’s Public Works Committee released some of its closed-session minutes.

At its Jan. 22 closed

meeting, the committee’s consensus was that Renner had done well in his first year as county engineer. He had scored above average in all categories.

As a result of his good evaluation, the committee recommended to the state that it raise Renner’s pay to the state’s full suggested salary of $109,000.

When he was hired the previous February, the county had decided to delay giving him the full salary until after his annual performance review.

In the closed session, Renner said he was very pleased with his first year and that he was looking forward to upgrades of equipment and procedure.

In December 2011, Renner’s predecessor, Steve Haring, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of theft. That was for having county employees do personal jobs on the county clock, which happened during Haring’s 5 years as county engineer.

Haring resigned as a result of the scandal.

“We were really shorthanded, and we had a pretty heavy storm,�

Renner explained. “Kevin is formerly a maintenance guy. He is experienced.�

This coming winter, the county crew will likely be down two employees for medical reasons. Another two are on leave, but are expected to return by the time snow falls, Renner said.

With the two gone, 10 snowplow drivers remain, Renner said. The county may offset the difference with temporary employees, which can be done under the union contract, he said.

Frank Barger, a Teamsters representative, said it’s not uncommon for supervisors to do union members’ work. In this case, he said, the matter was quickly resolved. “Usually, a phone call will take care of it,� he said. “In an emergency situation, we have no

In Lee County, the Highway Department has nine

employees available to work snowplows, none of whom are on medical leave, County Engineer Dave Anderson said.

Lee County’s union con-

tract is similar to Whiteside County’s. Generally, Anderson said, Lee County doesn’t have supervisors doing the work of union members.

Central Ill. farmers help with harvest after death Dozens rally around family of man who died of heart attack LEXINGTON (AP) – Dozens of central Illinois farmers worked together to harvest more than 300 acres of corn that belonged to a man who died from a heart attack this summer.

Sixteen combines rolled through cornfields near

Livingston that were planted by Dave Thomas, who died in July.

After his death, his family decided to end operations on the family’s farm, selling its equipment, according to a report in The (Bloomington) Pantagraph. “Dave Thomas just helped everybody if he knew there was a need,� said Livingston farmer

ILLINOIS

September warm, dry in state CHAMPAIGN (AP) – Precipitation was below average and temperatures were above average across Illinois during September.

Jim Angel is the state climatologist with the Illinois State Water Survey. He says precipitation for September was 1.87 inches, 1.39 inches below average. Angel says it was the 14th driest September on record and the third month in a

row with below-average precipitation.

The statewide temperature for September was 68.8 degrees, about 3 degree above average.

Angel says the beginning of October was “very summer like.� He says temperatures were 9 degrees above average. But he says a Sunday cold front “finally brought temperatures more in line with October.�

Roland Frerichs, who was among those who showed up to help. “This is payback. This is what farmers do.�

A grain elevator that’s usually closed on Sundays opened for the occasion as volunteers loaded grain harvested from four cornfields into trucks bound for the Prairie Central Co-op in Lexington.

Meanwhile, Chenoa

pilot Bill Thacker flew Thomas’ family over the property to get an aerial view of the final harvest.

Thomas’ son, Jeff Thomas, says the farm machinery will be auctioned later this year. The land is rented.

Meanwhile, Chenoa farmers are planning a similar harvest Monday for Dave Harrison, who died last week.

R

onald Reagan beat Jimmy Carter in 1980 largely on the promise that he would reduce the size of government.

So it stands to reason that Dixon’s favorite son would have cut the size of the federal bureaucracy after the supposedly progovernment Carter increased it.

That would be logical, but that’s not what happened.

During Carter’s 4-year term, the federal government’s workforce dropped by seventenths of a percent, according to the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, which has tracked such numbers since 1962. In Reagan’s 8 years, the bureaucracy grew by 6.5 percent.

I started researching this information after a Facebook friend wrote to me, “The size of government did shrink a little in the 1980s ...�

I pointed out that it hadn’t.

He had a quick answer: “You are right.

The military grew to finish off the Soviet Union. The bureaucratic side did shrink.�

Wrong again.

The civilian bureaucracy jumped by 8.2 percent under Reagan.

The military grew by less – at 4.1 percent.

In the 1990s, under Democrat Bill Clinton, the government workforce dropped by 16.2 percent.

My Facebook friend explained that by saying, “Yeah, counting the military, it declined under Clinton due to the end of the Cold War.�

Actually, the civilian workforce declined by 10.4 percent under Clinton. So it wasn’t just the dwindling of the military, which dropped 18.2 percent.

Under Republican

George W. Bush, the trend reversed, with both civilian and military employment rising. The total federal workforce jumped by 1.8 percent.

Under Democrat Barack Obama, the government has seen a 4.6 percent rise in employment. The latest number available from the Office of Personnel Management was in 2011. The workforce has been dropping since 2010.

Over the past 35 years, Democrats have typically cut the size of the bureaucracy, while Republicans have grown it – all rhetoric aside.

That’s why the small governmentadvocating tea party is suspicious of the Republican Party.

Locally, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, who represents Lee County, is facing a challenge from David Hale, founder of the Rockford Tea Party.

The tea party says Kinzinger is too quick to surrender to big government.

Obama may be the one Democratic president in recent times who increased the size of the federal workforce, but that could change: He still has more than 3 years left in his term.

Janet was born Sept. 26, 1920, in Garden Plain, the daughter of Charles W. and Allie J. (Jansma) Huizenga. When Janet was 5, she moved with her family back to the Prairie Center area.

After the untimely death of her young father, they moved in with her grandparents. Janet attended Prairie Center School through eighth grade. After graduation from Morrison High School, she attended Central College in Pella, Iowa, for 2 years.

She was a teacher in the Fenton Schools and Center School. After 4 years of teaching, she went back to college, attending Hope College in Holland, Mich.

Upon graduation, she worked for 12 1/2 years in Nebraska at the Winnebago Indian Missions.

In 1969, she earned her master’s degree in social work from the University of Nebraska. She moved to St. Paul, Minn., where she worked for the United Church Committee for Indian Work for 9 years, part of that time as the director, and then for the Ramsey County Human Services Department in St. Paul. While there, she worked with dysfunctional families, and later, with children

and adults who were mentally handicapped.

In 1987, Janet retired and returned to Morrison to care for her mother.

She was a member of Ebenezer Reformed Church in Morrison, and was totally involved in the life of the church.

She belonged to Girls League, Lydian, and Ladies Aid. She had been an elder, Praise and Prayer Time leader, secretary of Spiritual Life, Endowment Committee member, Ebenezer rep to Church Women United, and a Bible study leader. She enjoyed reading, sewing, and traveling.

Janet is survived by many cousins, including special caretakers Phil (Faye) Jansma and Carlene Pruis, both of Morrison.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Labeling bill raises modified food debate State senator pushes for farmers to flag products with GMOs CHICAGO (AP) – Over the past 16 years, biotechnology has helped Ron Moore grow crops that could survive drought, produce higher-quality grain to feed his livestock, and yield sweet corn so plentiful his family has donated extras to the church and local food pantry. “People have said it’s the best sweet corn they’ve ever eaten,� said Moore, 57, whose family farms a few thousand acres near the western Illinois community of Roseville.

Koehler, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, convened a panel of lawmakers for three hearings on the bill over the summer to try to educate the public and the committee on the issue.

The front or back of the package must clearly state “Produced with Genetic Engineering� or “Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering.� The law would be enforced by the Department of Public Health, and producers could be fined for not properly labeling their products.

Kerpelman, lawyer in landmark school prayer case, dies Activist attorney took on many unpopular causes -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

BALTIMORE – Activist attorney Leonard J. Kerpelman, best known for representing atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hair in the landmark 1963 Supreme Court case that outlawed prayer in public schools, died Sept. 26 at a Baltimore hospital of complications from a tumor. He was 88.

He took on numerous often unpopular causes during his long career that ended in disbarment in 1989, in part for disrupting a judicial hearing. And he was known as a colorful figure in Baltimore, driving a 1948 Cadillac and at times jumping into public fountains. “It’s always good to have a person who speaks out on a variety of issues like Leonard,� said J. Joseph Curran Jr., former Maryland attorney general. “He took on unpopular causes but was not an unpopular person.�

Leonard Jules Kerpel-

man, the son of attorneys, was born in 1925 in Baltimore. He suffered from polio as a child and was blind in one eye.

He earned a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering in 1945 from Johns Hopkins University and a law degree in 1949 from the University of Maryland.

From the beginning, he had a flair for taking on high-profile cases.

By 1957, he was earning headlines when he represented a Colombian promoter who wanted to bring bullfighting to Baltimore.

The case that brought him lasting fame revolved around O’Hair, who was opposed to prayer in public school classrooms and stated she was going to keep her son home until the prayers stopped. “I see no constitutional objection to the study of religion, history of religion, or the study of the Bible as literature,� Kerpelman said in a Baltimore Sun interview in 1963. “But this ceremony is sectarian, and it is impossible to have such a ceremony that is not sectarian.�

Ordinance tabled to redraw wards CODE

Ward 3 Alderman Lou Sotelo initially said he was against the petition, but ultimately voted for it, once it was limited to the Highway Business District and Keys said the changes would allow the two businesses to move forward with their leases.

Prior to the Planning Commission’s overhaul of the city’s signage codes, signs were allowed on two sides of a corner business, just as they are with Aspen Dental, 4312 E Lincolnway, which is located in a building owned

by Sterling Commons Development. “This is what the ordinance permitted before, and it wasn’t ... that having signs on two facades somehow made a rampant problem in the community,� Keys said. “Especially given the fact that the square footage of those signs is limited by what the ordinance has said.� In that particular business district, the maximum size allowed is 225 square feet.

The ordinance will allow for the change in the Highway Business

City Manager Scott Shumard said the city had approved a petition for St. Mary’s Catholic Church after the new sign code was approved.

Also Monday night, the City Council tabled an ordinance that would have redrawn the city’s wards.

The wards were last redrawn in 1982, and annexations to the west side of the city have led to a disproportionate number of residents in Ward 4 – 4,276 residents compared to 3,772 residents in Ward 2, the second largest.

A state statute says that ward boundaries can’t cross precinct boundaries, so the ordinance will be tabled, and there is no timeline for its return to the agenda, Shumard said.

DIXON CITY COUNCIL

Search for city administrator nears end Langloss hopes for name release before final vote

BY DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@saukvalley.com

EXT

DIXON – A city administrator could be recommended by the end of next week.

Of the 40 applicants for the position, three were given interviews, and one of those will receive a second interview, said Police Chief Danny Langloss, special assistant to the City Council.

A final recommendation will be given to the City Council for approval.

Some applicants have asked for their names not to be released, until the City Council makes it final.

A comprehensive background check will be conducted once a candidate is chosen, Langloss said.

It is his hope that the recommended candidate’s name will be released before the council takes a final vote and that the council could schedule a meet and greet for public input with the candidate present.

DIXON | THE CRUNDWELL AFTERMATH

Ex-official sticks to appeal Oral arguments up next in case

BY DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@saukvalley.com

EXT

DIXON – Rita Crundwell’s attorney is sticking to his argument that the U.S. District Court in Rockford abused its discretion in sentencing her and did not give e n o u g h weight to the Rita Crundwell former city comptroller’s communication with authorities.

Crundwell appealed her sentence July 10 with a federal court of appeals in Chicago, and her attorney filed a reply Monday.

Oral arguments would be the next step in the appellate process, but they have not been scheduled.

The former Dixon comptroller was sentenced Feb. 14 to 19 years, 7 months for wire fraud in connection with her theft of nearly $54 million. It is widely regarded as the largest municipal embezzlement in U.S. history.

The sentencing was 4 years longer than recommended in guidelines used by federal courts to standardize sentences, and just 6 months short of the maximum sentence possible, her attorney Paul Gaziano said in previous documents.

Prosecutors argued that a federal judge in Rockford gave proper consideration to Crundwell’s

‘‘

This action was contrary to the district court’s earlier determination that only the city of Dixon was a victim.

’’

Paul Gaziano, Rita Crundwell’s attorney

cooperation when he handed down the sentence.

In documents filed Monday by Crundwell’s attorney, Gaziano argued that the appellate court should be allowed to review the judge’s decision.

Crundwell concedes her theft caused a loss of confidence in the city government and the inability of Dixon to provide services to its residents, her attorney said in documents.

Using psychological harm to Dixon residents to enhance her sentence, however, was an error, he said. The district court elevated residents to the level of victims and used their letters to determine psychological harm, the attorney said.

The government presented no expert witness to establish that any person was psychologically damaged, Gaziano said in the argument. “This action was contrary to the district court’s earlier determination that only the city of Dixon was a victim,� he said.

Also, Judge Philip Reinhard made only one reference to Crundwell’s coop-

eration in his sentencing remarks, Crundwell’s attorney said.

That reference was: “I’ve considered the assistance you gave to the FBI, and I’ve considered those letters which have been written in your support. As I’ve said, there are plenty of letters that are written that do not support you.�

All in all, the judge said, Crundwell cooperated.

But he said that in the last few days before sentencing, he found out that she had stolen money from another fund as early as 1988.

The district court made a passing reference to other thefts in 1988, Gaziano said in documents.

He said not enough evidence was given by prosecutors for how those thefts interfered with the investigation or how it justified increasing the prison sentence.

Ms. Crundwell’s level of cooperation was “significant and proved to be of great assistance to the law enforcement agencies involved in this matter,� according to testimony from Andrea Dobranski of the FBI. Prosecutors had said Reinhard considered Crundwell’s cooperation after her arrest but found that it was outweighed by the harm she caused to Dixon. The fact that not as much weight was given to her cooperation as desired does not make the sentence unreasonable, prosecutors said in previous court filings.

Crundwell is serving her sentence at a federal prison in Waseca, Minn.

MILITARY

Thousands of workers back on job Two bases reopen Monday in Illinois ST. LOUIS (AP) – Thousands of civilian employees furloughed last week at Illinois military installations as part of the fallout from the federal government shutdown returned to their posts Monday, but it wasn’t clear when they may receive retroactive pay.

The callbacks at Scott Air Force Base and the Great Lakes Naval Training Station came the same day a Democratic congressman whose southern Illinois district includes Scott shrugged off the spotlight drawn to him as the only House vote against a resolution allowing military chaplains to return to work during the shutdown.

Rep. Bill Enyart, whose more than 3 decades in the military included heading the Illinois National Guard, called the measure “an absolutely phony, feel-good bill that had nothing to do with reality,� including no mechanism to pay the chaplains if they did return to work.

7% !2% 9/52 ,/#!, %80%243

“I don’t care if I was the only congressman� behind the only “no� vote out of 401 votes cast Saturday, the firstterm Democrat told The Associated Press by telephone. “I’m sorry nobody else had the intestinal fortitude to take that stance. It was time for the (yellow) flag to be thrown on that one.�

At the 13,000-employee Air Force base, the St. Louis region’s biggest employer, all of the affected 3,500 civilian workers were back at work 6 days after they were sent home as part of the U.S. government’s first shutdown in 17 years.

Those workers – about two-thirds of the base’s non-military staff – were to resume collecting pay, though how soon they will be reimbursed for time spent on furlough will depend on how soon Congress passes a budget, Scott spokeswoman Karen Petitt said. The Senate will try to vote this week on a bill that passed the House unanimously Saturday to pay federal workers for days missed. “While we’re back to

ADM becomes governor’s latest political ‘hostage’ Quinn strategy on pension fix isn’t working

Jerry Holbert, Newspaper Enterprise Association

EDITORIAL

Noble way to honor veterans F or the past 4 years, Sauk Valley veterans have been guests on all-expenses-paid Honor Flight trips to tour military memorials in Washington, D.C. Most trips have gone uneventfully. The daylong itineraries include round-trip flights between Moline and Washington, and tours of national monuments and memorials.

Thursday’s Honor Flight was slightly different.

The flight’s departure was delayed 3 hours because the airplane struck an owl.

Certain memorials were closed because of the partial government shutdown.

The U.S. Capitol was put on temporary lock-

What we think

By overcoming several obstacles, last week’s Honor Flight, which included nearly 60 area military veterans, carried on a noble effort to honor those who served.

down after a female motorist rammed a barricade at the White House and eventually was shot dead by police.

Nevertheless, nearly 60 area veterans received the red-carpet treatment as they took an abbreviated tour that still included stops at the Korean War Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, 9/11 Memorial at the Pentagon, and National World War II Memorial.

Completion of the World War II Memorial in 2004 was the impe-

tus for the Honor Flight movement. Organizers reasoned that many aging World War II veterans would never get to see it without help. A national organization was created, money was raised, and Honor Flight took flight.

Since then, nearly 100,000 World War II-era veterans have taken the trips to see the memorials. Because their numbers are dwindling, the Honor Flight focus shifted to Korean Warera vets. Of the 92 total veterans on Thursday’s

flight, 90 served in the Korean War era, with two from World War II. Enthusiastic welcomes upon their arrival in D.C. and upon their return home are something that most veterans will remember.

One happy veteran, Daniel Frankfother of Milledgeville, said: “I thought it was great. I won’t forget it. I must’ve shook a thousand hands.�

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again.

Honor Flight is a noble way for people to honor and thank veterans of past wars.

We salute the people who help to organize, pay for, and carry out these trips.

And we salute the veterans who served their nation in its time of need.

THE READER’S VOICE

Public park defunded, then shut down ROBERT DODD Sterling

The Claude Moore Colonial Farm is a privately funded national park. The National Park Service formally defunded this park in 1980, and the park has not received one red cent. (Please, that refers to the color of copper, and is neither racist nor sexist. If you are “offended,� take a deep breath and please just go away.) Not a penny from the federal government in more than 32 years.

In spite of this, the current heavy-handed administration has ordered that the park be closed. It sent out federal agents, previously printed signs, and issued “warnings� to anyone who dared trespass. A local chamber of commerce annual celebration was chased out by National Park Service police.

What do you think?

Do you agree with these letters?

Do you disagree with these letters?

Let us know. Write your own letter to the editor and send it to: letters@saukvalley. com This park’s display gives visitors a look at the way people lived and worked in the late 1700s. Obviously that makes it subversive at the very least.

It’s so, oh, you know, obsolete.

Although there is not enough money available to the current administration to allow veterans groups from around the country arriving on Honor Flights to visit the National World War II Memorial in D.C. (How much do barricades and security to keep them out cost?), there are sufficient funds available to illegally shut down a patriotic, privately funded, public park that the federal government left

for dead decades ago.

Rather than Park Service uniforms, they should perhaps be outfitted in Ronald McWhat’sHisName costumes. Much more fitting for the current clowns in control.

Early reminder about reason for the season JERRY and JOAN SCHEFFLER Ashton

Before the Christmas season is upon us, take a close look at the reason Christmas is celebrated and how we have turned a celebration of the birth of Christ into a disgrace in the eyes of God. (Isaiah 1:13-14) When the wise men took their gifts to Jesus at his birth, the gifts were to the Christ child. How we have taken that into what it is today is a dishonor in the eyes of God. We no longer have gifts given by wise men but

doesn’t give the gifts to the Christ but to everyone else. When it is your birthday, how would you feel if all of your friends and loved ones gave gifts to each other but you did not receive any?

We overeat, we overspend, we run to this party and that and never once give thanks to our God for his grace in Christ Jesus.

Our God is a big God and a gracious God, but he is also a jealous God who deserves the glory of the season for the free gift he gave to all of us: namely, his son, Jesus Christ.

Is it OK to buy each other gifts? Sure, but give them in honor of Jesus’ birth, and to those in need, give graciously. A gift given to those in need – the sick, the orphaned, the abused, the poor – are the gifts wise men would give to the Christ child.

Enjoy Christmas with love and thanksgiving, but remember: It’s not your birthday, it’s his.

Gov. Pat Quinn refused to say for several days whether he would support a $1.2 million-a-year tax break for Archer Daniels Midland to move 100 jobs out of Decatur and open up a world headquarters and new tech center in Chicago.

But last week, he made it clear that without pension reform, the ADM proposal would be a nonstarter, and he would veto it. “He won’t even consider the ADM bill, much less get on board when pension reform has not been done,� a Quinn spokesperson told me. “The best way to help jobs in Illinois is to do pension reform,� Quinn himself told the Associated Press. “To distract legislators in any way from this issue of a lifetime is just plain wrong.�

Quinn didn’t say, probably because he wasn’t asked, whether he thought a vote on gay marriage during the upcoming fall veto session would also “distract legislators.�

But a spokesperson later explained that pension reform was vital to the state’s economic interests, and gay marriage, while important, was not.

And so, the governor has seized yet another political hostage in his quest to ease Illinois’ enormous budget problems by reducing pension benefits for public employees and retirees.

Gaming expansion, including a new Chicago casino that Mayor Rahm Emanuel is practically slobbering over, was put on hold last spring because the governor threatened to veto it until pension reform was approved.

Then came his veto of state legislative salaries, which was recently struck down as unconstitutional by a Cook County judge.

Quinn said he vetoed the salaries out of the state budget to prod legislators into passing a pension reform bill. It didn’t work.

AND NOW COMES ADM, one of the oldest companies in Illinois, and one of the largest companies in the nation.

Quinn suggested to reporters last week that the company ought to help lobby for pension reform if it wanted its tax break.

Politically speaking, these are all no-brainers.

Polls have shown that Illinoisans aren’t in love with the idea of more casinos.

So, holding up gaming expansion has few political risks.

The General Assembly’s job approval rating is below Quinn’s, and that’s saying something because Quinn is one of the least liked governors in Amer-

“To stifle the voice of argument, to ban and proscribe the press, or to compel it only to utter the sentiments of a single sect, is to destroy the only means we possess of arriving at truth.�

ica. Vetoing legislators’ paychecks could rank right up there with the most popular thing Quinn has ever done, whether it’s constitutional or not.

And Republicans and Democrats alike have long had a strong distaste for “corporate welfare.�

It just rubs people the wrong way to provide tax breaks to gigantic, profitable corporations while Illinois government has trouble paying its own bills.

The ADM tax break proposal hasn’t proved to be all that popular so far in the General Assembly, either. A company officer admitted to a House committee last week that it often pays less than $1.2 million a year in corporate income taxes, even though it made $1.2 billion in profits last year and $2 billion the year before. That was a startling admission, and didn’t please the committee’s liberal Democrats.

THE SUBJEC T w a s broached when some conservatives on the committee said they’d rather lower the corporate income tax rate than give out a special deal for one company. But lowering the tax rate – even eliminating it entirely – wouldn’t do the company any good. It wants that tax break.

However, ADM has hired some influential Statehouse lobbyists close to House Speaker Michael Madigan, Chicago Mayor Emanuel appears fully on board, and word is that an omnibus corporate tax break bill is being prepared.

Despite the public resistance by legislators, the national embarrassment of losing ADM’s world headquarters to another state is probably enough to assume that this will eventually get done.

The political hostage phenomenon should be familiar if you watched the shutdown of the federal government over Republican opposition to Obamacare. The difference with Quinn is that the federal shutdown proved to be wildly unpopular with the American public, while the “hostages� Quinn is taking are prized mainly by people within the Illinois Statehouse, not by the public at large.

But, even if you don’t care, I’m here to tell you that this schtick of Quinn’s is really getting old. It’s juvenile when they do it in Washington, D.C., and it’s juvenile when our own governor does it.

There’s the number crunching: The last time it happened was 1888, or at least the last time since Thanksgiving was declared a federal holiday by President Lincoln, and the next time may have Jews lighting their candles from spaceships 79,043 years from now, by one calculation.

There’s the commerce: A 9-year-old New York boy invented the “Menurkey� and raised more than $48,000 on Kickstarter for his already trademarked, Turkey-shaped menorah. Woodstock-inspired T-shirts have a turkey perched on the neck of a guitar and implore “8 Days of Light, Liberty & Latkes.� The creators nabbed the trademark to “Thanksgivukkah.�

Songs have popped up with lyrics like these from “The Ballad of Thanksgivukkah�: “Imagine Judah Maccabee, sitting down to roast turkey and passing the potatoes to Squanto ...� Rabbi David Paskin, the song’s cowriter and co-head of the Kehillah Schechter Academy in Norwood, Mass., proudly declares his the Jewish day school nearest Plymouth Rock.

Let’s not forget the food mash-ups commemorating the staying power of the Pilgrims and the fighting prowess of the Jews, along with the miracle of one night’s oil lasting eight days. Pumpkin latkes, apple-cranberry sauce and deep-fried turkey, anyone? “It’s pretty amazing to me that in this country we can have rich secular and rich religious celebrations and that those of us who live in both worlds can find moments when they meet and can really celebrate that convergence. There are a lot of

Eminem’s daughter crowned high school homecoming queen MCT News Service

DETROIT – Eminem’s daughter was crowned homecoming queen as the rap star watched at Chippewa Valley High School on Friday.

Hailie Scott, a senior honors student, was proclaimed queen at the school’s football game in Clinton Township, Mich., with king Tyler Knepp, 18, an aspiring musician. “To me, she’s just another normal person,� Knepp said Monday. “She’s trying to live a normal life.�

Chippewa Valley Schools Board of Education President Denise Aquino said Monday that Hailie’s mom, Kim Scott, escort-

And then there’s Texas.

Before 1863, each state decided on its own date for Thanksgiving. As late as 1956, Texans were still chowing down on turkey and stuffing a week later than everyone else, according to a history put together by Chabad.org of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Hasidic Jews. That means Jews in that state might have also been lighting their first Hanukkah candle in 1945 and 1956.

There’s more early Thanksgiving lore and 2,000 years of calendar tinkering involving the Jewish calendar, but we’ll spare you.

While the whole thing is lots of fun, is there anything truly cosmic happening here?

Well, there’s Comet ISON, which is scheduled to pass close by the sun on Thanksgiving this year and may provide a nice show – possibly even during daylight. Or not, since comets can’t always be counted on.

CELEBRITIES

Rapper watches privately from school building

other religious observances appear to drift slightly from year to year when compared to the U.S., or Gregorian, calendar. But much of the intrigue over Hanukkah this year is buried deep in the history of Thanksgiving itself, which hasn’t always been fixed in the same spot. That caused some initial confusion over Thanksgivukkah, also dubbed Turkukkah.

In 1863, Lincoln declared Thanksgiving as the last Thursday in November (the month sometimes has five of those) and the holiday remained there until President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a joint resolution of Congress fixing it as the fourth Thursday, starting in 1942.

Jewish practice calls for the first candle of 8-day Hanukkah to be lit the night before Thanksgiving Day this year, so technically Thanksgivukkah falls on the “second candle� night.

ed her daughter onto the football field during the crowning. Eminem watched from inside a building in an administrator’s office off the cafeteria. “The staff worked directly with him in order to allow his privacy,� Aquino said. “He wanted it to be her moment, and they just assisted him in making that happen. He was looking out when she was announced queen. I’m happy for them, that she was allowed to have her moment.�

She said Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers, has always been conscious of his daughter’s privacy since Hailie began at Cherokee Elementary.

He arrived at Friday’s game, as always, without any extra security

or fanfare. “I think he has separated his fame from being a parent,� said Aquino, who has been on the school board for 17 years. “I think he’s separated his career and what he may have gone through in his life, and raising a good daughter. I think it’s very, very important to him, and he’s done a good job.�

She said the district educates about 16,600 students from Macomb and Clinton townships.

Knepp, who writes music, sings and plays guitar in the pop-rock band Escape Plan with three other Chippewa Valley students and one graduate, was hesitant to discuss the queen. “I would imagine her parents are just as excited and proud as my parents were for me,� Knepp said.

LINCOLN ARTIFACTS

Descendants battle for ownership HARTFORD, Conn. – One hundred and fifty years after their great-greatgrandfather served as secretary of the Navy under Abraham Lincoln, his descendants will battle in a Connecticut courtroom this week over the existence of family heirlooms that include a rare rifle fired by the president himself.

In a civil trial beginning in Rockville on Tuesday, Judge Samuel J. Sferrazza must decide if it was legal 3 years ago for a probate judge in Coventry, Conn., to reopen the 1955 estate of Ruth Trost Welles, who was married to Thomas

Sterling Pavilion Physical, Occupational, and Speech Therapies offered seven days per week.

Welles, the grandson of Civil War Navy Secretary Gideon Welles.

The judge in 2010 wanted to determine if all of her estate – which members of the Welles family claim should have included numerous historical artifacts tied to Lincoln – was actually accounted for.

Those artifacts include an unused ticket connected to the Gettysburg Address, personal notes from Lincoln to Welles, and the table upon which General Edward Ord signed the surrender at Appomattox.

Also in question is what happened to the Spencer

repeating carbine, supposedly the 16th ever made, that was given to Welles after Lincoln fired it once. The Welles side of the family claims that a member of the Brainard side sold the gun and reaped the profits.

Attorneys for the Welleses claim that there was an oral agreement never made part of the original probate case that left the Brainards to keep any historical items in trust until they could be distributed to the entire family. The Welleses are accusing some of the Brainards of secretly selling artifacts.

Dinner companion is attentive to a fault Dear Abby: My husband and I go out to dinner once per month with a couple we have known for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joeâ&#x20AC;? is an active conversationalist, while my husband is fairly quiet.

The problem is Joe addresses only me and stares at me throughout the meal. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a bad habit he has acquired. To no avail I have tried various seating arrangements to avoid the constant stare. It makes me very uncomfortable. I feel bad for my

include my husband in the conversation and rest his gaze elsewhere? I would never say anything to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mrs. Joeâ&#x20AC;? about it because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to make her uncomfortable, too. I really want to continue the friendship and the socializing, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to feel more relaxed at the dinner table. Any suggestions? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Distressed Diner

husband, who is totally Dear Distressed: You ignored, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to care as long as the food are not helpless. The next time Joe directs his comis good. ments and questions only How do I get Joe to

to you, toss the verbal ball to your husband and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honey, what do you think about that?â&#x20AC;? It will give him an opening to enter the conversation.

As for the staring, Joe may not be aware of what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing. You could bring it to his attention by simply saying: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You keep looking at me, Joe. Do I have food in my teeth?

Is my lipstick smeared?â&#x20AC;?

Then haul out a compact and make a show of checking for yourself. It may help to curb his discomfiting habit.

Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m single and have grown children.

I know I am not going to live forever, and I want to make sure I am not a burden to them even after death. I have a will and no bills beyond my house and normal living expenses. What else do I need to do to make sure everything is taken care of when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m gone? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Preparing in Advance Dear Preparing: Do you have an advance directive for health care in case you become so ill

before your death that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak for yourself? Do you have at least one health care advocate who will ensure your wishes are carried out?

Do you have a cemetery plot selected and paid for, so your children wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do it?

How about money set aside for your funeral or memorial?

If the answer to each of these questions is yes, all you need to do is make certain your children are aware of it. If not, then get busy!

Slams can lead to some heart gains

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Bob Hope defined bigamy as the only crime where two rites make a wrong.

Today, let’s have two contracts to see if you can play both of them rite – I mean, right. South is in six hearts or seven hearts. West leads the diamond jack. How should declarer proceed in each slam?

North responded two notrump, the Jacoby Forcing Raise, promising at least fourcard heart support and gamegoing values. South launched Roman Key-Card Blackwood.

North showed two key-cards (two aces, or one ace and the trump king). Now South knew to settle for six hearts.

If South’s four no-trump were regular Blackwood, he would have followed with five no-trump to learn that

one king was missing and not known what to do. Note that if North’s diamond king were the heart king, South would have 13 top tricks: four spades, five hearts, one dia-

mond and three clubs.

Each slam revolves around the trump suit. In seven hearts, South should play a heart to his queen, winning whenever East has king-doubleton or West has jack-singleton. But in the small slam, declarer can afford one trump loser. Then the best play is to start with his ace. Here, the king drops from West. Now South can make seven, crossing to dummy and finessing East out of his trump jack. If instead the jack drops from West, South continues with his queen and claims. And if the ace draws only the three and the six, declarer crosses to the board and leads a heart toward his queen. He has no guesswork.

In this deal, strangely, you go down one or two in seven hearts, but make six with an overtrick. © 2013 UFS

HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL

Health law glitches: fatal or fleeting?

Delays persist on government website Monday WASHINGTON (AP) – The glitch-ridden rollout of President Barack Obama’s health care law has opponents crowing: “Told you so!” and insisting it should be paused, if not scrapped.

But others, including

insurance companies, say there’s still enough time to fix the online enrollment system before uninsured Americans start getting coverage on Jan. 1.

After emergency repairs over the weekend, consumers in different parts of the country Monday continued to report delays on healthcare.gov, as well as problems setting up security questions for their accounts. The administra-

tion says the site’s crowded electronic “waiting room” is thinning out. Still, officials announced it would be down again for a few hours starting at 1 a.m. today for more upgrades and fixes.

Despite the confusion, the insurance industry has held off public criticism.

Alarmed that only a trickle of customers got through initially, insurers now say enrollments are starting to come in and they expect

things to improve.

The last major federal health care launch – the Medicare prescription program in 2006 – also had big startup problems. Government leaders who oversaw it say things could look very different in a couple of months for Obama’s law if the administration manages to get a grip on the situation.

“There wasn’t enough time for testing, so the

BUDGET BATTLE

dress rehearsal became opening night,” said Michael Leavitt, who as President George W. Bush’s top health official, was responsible for the Medicare drug plan debut.

“The moment of truth is going to come in the middle of November, when people want to see the real deal,” said Leavitt, who currently heads a consulting firm that advises states on the health overhaul. “If they

don’t have this running smoothly by then, it’s going to be a bigger problem than we’re seeing today.”

The insurance industry is calling for patience.

“This is a marathon and not a sprint,” Karen Ignagni, head of the trade group America’s Health Insurance Plans, said in a statement. “We anticipate enrollments will continue to increase in the days and weeks ahead.”

Debt limit becoming U.S. crisis focus Bombing suspect Shutdown now to face state charges overshadowed by looming default

WASHINGTON (AP) – A possible national default loomed closer on Monday as the partial government shutdown lingered, rattling markets in the U.S. and overseas.

A gridlocked Congress betrayed little or no urgency toward resolving either of the threats.

Stocks got a case of the jitters on Wall Street, and halfway around the world China stressed the importance for the international economy of raising the U.S. debt limit.

“Safeguarding the debt is of vital importance to the economy of the U.S. and the world,” Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. China holds $1.277 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, second only to Japan.

At home, the political rhetoric was unchanged – and generally uncom-

President Barack Obama said the House should vote immediately on ending the partial closure of the federal establishment. He

accused House Speaker John Boehner of refusing to permit the necessary legislation to come to the floor because he “doesn’t apparently want to see the ... shutdown end at the moment, unless he’s able to extract concessions that don’t have anything to do

with the budget.”

Boehner, in rebuttal, called on Obama to agree to negotiations on changes in the nation’s health care overhaul and steps to curb deficits, the principal GOP demands for ending the shutdown and eliminating the threat of default.

A Massachusetts court on Monday issued a default arrest warrant for accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev so he can be arraigned on state charges in connection with the killing of an MIT police officer.

Tsarnaev, 20, is in federal custody and has pleaded not guilty to numerous charges, including using a weapon of mass destruction. He faces a potential death sentence if convicted. He is accused of helping plant two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the marathon that killed three people and injured more than 260 others.

Monday’s action was a procedural step needed so that Tsarnaev will eventually appear in state court to face charges in connection with the flight and shootings that officials say were part of the aftermath

of the bombings. Tsarnaev will likely not appear in state court until the federal case is Dzhokar resolved.

Tsarnaev “It is the intention of the Middlesex District Attorney that the defendant stand trial for these charges in Middlesex County,” District Attorney Marian T. Ryan’s office said in a statement.

Tsarnaev is accused of acting with his brother, Tamerlan, 26, to plant the bombs. After the explosions, the brothers were identified by authorities based on video evidence from the scene.

On April 18, authorities said, the two shot and killed Officer Sean Collier in Cambridge, then fled again. Tamerlan was shot in a subsequent confrontation with police and run over by his fleeing brother. He was pronounced dead on April 19.

CONSUMER CREDIT

Credit card use drops in U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Americans cut back on using credit cards in August for a third straight month, a sign consumers remain cautious about spending.

Consumers increased their borrowing $13.6 billion in August to a seasonally adjusted $3.04 trillion, the Federal Reserve said Monday. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a record and it followed a gain of $10.4 billion in July.

Once again, the increase in borrowing was driven entirely by auto and student loans. A measure of those loans rose $14.5 billion to $2.19 trillion.

But credit card debt dropped $883 million to roughly $850 billion. The decline could hold back consumer spending, which accounts for roughly 70 percent of economic growth.

The report highlighted trends that have surfaced in the post-recession economy.

The measure of auto and student loans has risen 8.2 percent from a year ago

AP

The Federal Reserve released consumer credit data for August on Monday, showing that post-recession Americans are still curtailing their credit card spending. and in every month but one since May 2010. But credit card debt is essentially where it was a year ago. And it is 16.9 percent below its peak hit in July 2008 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 7 months after the Great Recession began.

Slow but steady job growth and small wage gains have made many Americans more reluctant to charge goods and ser-

vices. Consumers may also be hesitant to take on highinterest debt because they are paying higher Social Security taxes this year.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York quarterly report on consumer credit shows student loan debt has been the biggest driver of borrowing since the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009.

Ryan Dixon Dukes’ best regional shot

Kozeal emerges as top dog for Clippers

Senior hopes to rebound from conference meet

BY LARRY BRENNAN lbrennan@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 550

His last putt at the Northern Illinois Big 12 West Tournament was his 40th.

Dixon High School senior Ryan Dixon struggled mightily with his putter at Senica’s Oak Ridge Golf Club last Wednesday in LaSalle. He’ll take on the same course today in the Class 2A LaSallePeru Regional.

“I’m ready for it. I’ve got some practice in with coach [Pat Lessner] on my short game,” said Dixon, who shot a 15-overpar 87 at the conference tournament.

“I got my stroke back, and hopefully it will be better. I’ve got some confidence back.”

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 551

Two years ago, the thought of Griffin Kozeal passing on golf tips to his Amboy teammates would have been laughable.

After all, he averaged about 57 strokes per nine holes as a freshman – not exactly the kind of performance that would instill that kind of trust. Now, though, he’s the top dog for the Clippers, and embracing his new role.

“Sometimes I’ll give a little pointer, something that I think they should do,” Kozeal said, “and they’re like, ‘Thanks, that really helped.’ It feels good when you can do that for your teammates, to help them along.”

Kozeal’s scoring average has dropped to 43 this season, and the answer has been practice, practice, practice.

Amboy’s Griffin Kozeal has cut strokes at an amazing clip since his freshman year.

Now, as a junior, he has hopes to qualify for the state tourney for the first time.

Dixon’s Ryan Dixon chips onto the 17th green at the NIB-12 Tournament at Senica’s Oak Ridge last week. Dixon had 40 putts in a disappointing outing. He returns to the same course today for the 2A LaSalle-Peru Regional.

Rookie Wacha takes no-hitter into eighth against Bucs

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Michael Wacha throws against the Pirates during Game 4 of the NL division series in Pittsburgh. Wacha took a no-hitter into the eighth inning as the Cardinals won 2-1.

SPORTS inside

PITTSBURGH – Michael Wacha heard the chants. Then again, when 40,000 people clad in black scream your name relentlessly for the better part of 3 hours, it’s kind of hard to miss.

The goal was to rattle the St. Louis rookie, remind him that 22-year-old pitchers aren’t built to withstand the pressure of an elimination game.

One problem. Wacha doesn’t really do rattled. He doesn’t do pressure, either. The louder PNC

“I kind of like it,” Wacha said.

“It kind of gives me adrenaline. I kind of use it in my favor.”

And the Pittsburgh Pirates – not to mention anyone else he might face in the postseason – “kind of” need to get used to it.

Wacha took a no-hit bid into the eighth inning and the Cardinals s Michael Wacha was the showed off their October poise, 19th overall pick in the 2012 edging the Pirates 2-1 Monday to draft. He earned his first major force a winner-take-all Game 5 in league win on June 11. the NL division series.

Mental lapses costly for Bears T here was a lot more than just an allimportant â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wâ&#x20AC;? at stake when the Bears met the Saints at Soldier Field.

It was a chance for coach Marc Trestman to see how his club measured up against one of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s elite teams, and the results were not what Trestman hoped for.

Jay Cutlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stats suggest a great day: 24-for-33 passing, 358 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 128.1 passer rating.

But a little deeper dive reveals that Cutler made a number of mental errors that really hurt.

Cutler missed a number of open targets and primary reads, made several other bad reads, failing to recognize New Orleansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coverages, and was a big part of why the offense struggled early. He might have taken a slight step backward in his command of Trestmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense.

Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nate Terveer reaches for a tackle of Riverdaleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Terry White during Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Roscoe Eades Stadium. The Comets became playoff eligible with their 60-18 win.

BY DAN WOESSNER DWOESSNER SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

Here are some numbers that explain Week 6 of the high school football season in the Sauk Valley.

5

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many seasons it had been since Sterling had lost a conference game to a team other than Otttawa or Geneseo before Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 21-2 loss at Streator.

In 2007, the Warriors lost two conference games to Ottawa (19-3) and to LaSalle-Peru (2824).

3

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many times Sterling has lost to Streator in the last 18 meetings dating back to 1996. Streator beat Sterling 36-24 in 2003 and 42-27 in 1996.

The Bulldogs have gone 5-37 in the last four seasons after making the playoffs in 2008.

The Warriors have also beat Geneseo three straight seasons.

The Warriors (3-3) meet the Maple Leafs (5-1) on Friday in Geneseo.

10

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many NIB-12 West games Dixon (2-4) had lost in a row before beating LaSallePeru 13-10 on Friday.

It also broke a six-game losing streak vs. the Cavaliers, and more importantly, kept the Dukesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; playoff hopes alive.

14-3

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ratio of points scored by Byron and Oregon in the fourth quarter of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Big Northern West game at Landers-Loomis Field.

The Tigers scored on a run

by Dylan Garbutt with 11:30 left in the game, and then again on a pass from Base Beyers to Zach Cogswell with 2:37 left.

It was Sawyer Reynoldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 22-yard field goal with 6:29 left that proved the difference in Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 17-14 win.

249

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many points the Rock Falls Rockets have allowed in the last four games in losses to Rockford Lutheran, Byron, Winnebago and Stillman Valley.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 68 more points than any other Big Northern West team has allowed through six games this season.

7

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many first-half possessions the Newman Comets had against Riverdale on Friday at Sterling Chevrolet Field at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

The Comets scored on all seven of those possessions, taking a 47-0 lead into the break.

46.3

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many yards per carry Erie-Prophetstownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jordan Chandler averaged during the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 26-7 win over Amboy.

Chandler carried the ball three times for 139 yards. He had touchdown runs of 80 and 50 yards.

He was the perfect speed complement to Nick Williams, who rushed the ball 30 times for 227 yards and two touchdowns. That improves his season totals to 1,264 yards and 19 TDs.

2

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many teams remain undefeated in Three Rivers North play. The Newman Comets and Erie-Prophetstown Panthers are both 4-0 in conference play, By the way, they also play each other on Friday in Erie.

55

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many teams in the state have clinched playoff berths by either winning six games or clinching conference championships. Eastland-Pearl City (6-0) is the only area team on that list.

There are 201 playoff berths still remaining.

Newman and ErieProphestown are both playoff eligible with five wins.

The area has four teams in AFC, Milledgeville, Rock Falls and West Carroll that have been eliminated from playoff contention with five losses.

1

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many wins that AFC and West Carroll have after picking up victories on Friday night.

AFC knocked off Orangeville 28-20, and West Carroll beat South Beloit 32-14. It also guarantees the first season since 2009 the Sauk Valley has not had any team go winless.

6

That how many Sauk Valley area teams have four losses.

Amboy, Bureau Valley, Dixon, Fulton, Morrison and Polo are all at 2-4, meaning that each game is a playoff game. One more loss and they are eliminated from playoff eligibility.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He will do a lot better,â&#x20AC;? Lessner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am confident in him. He was swinging well. He just made some mental errors and threw away a couple strokes.â&#x20AC;?

At regionals, the top three teams and top 10 individuals not on those teams advance to sectionals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be surprised if he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it out,â&#x20AC;?

Lessner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a good mental attitude going into regionals.â&#x20AC;?

Dixon has a goal in mind for his regional round. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seventy-six is the golden number,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything below that is even better.â&#x20AC;?

Sterling and Rock Falls will also be competing at the LaSalle-Peru Regional, and are among the favorites to advance.

But, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t count out the Dukes, says Dixon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our team can make it,â&#x20AC;? Dixon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can get out as a team.

Jets kicker Nick Folk (2) kicks the winning field goal on the final play of the game as the Falconsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Robert Alford (23) tries for the block Monday in Atlanta.

The Jets won 30-28.

Coming of age Smith shines, Folk hits winning kick

BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After plenty of mistakes in his first four games, Geno Smith suddenly looked like a wily olâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; veteran for the New York Jets.

The rookie quarterback threw three touchdown passes, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn the ball over and guided the Jets on a clutch drive that set up Nick Folkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning field goal on the final play, giving New York a 30-28 victory over the struggling Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.

After the Falcons went

ahead on the first play after the 2-minute warning, Smith calmly completed four straight passes and also broke off an 8-yard run that set up Folkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 43-yard field goal as time expired.

The Jets (3-2) have been waiting for this sort of performance from Smith, who came into the game leading the NFL with 11 turnovers, including eight interceptions. The previous week, he was picked off twice and lost two fumbles in a 38-13 rout by the Tennessee Titans.

But this was a different

Geno. He completed 16 of 20 passes for 199 yards and zealously protected the ball.

The Falcons rallied from a 27-14 deficit in the fourth quarter, going ahead on Matt Ryanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3-yard touchdown pass to Levine Toilolo with 1:54 remaining.

Jacquizz Rodgers scored on a pair of touchdown runs, and Ryan also threw a scoring pass to Jason Snelling.

But the Falcons (1-4) are now mired in their longest losing streak since 2007.

Jose Lobaton hit a solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Tampa Bay Rays staved off elimination once again, beating the Boston Red Sox 5-4 Monday night in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Rays cut Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead in the best-of-five AL division series to 2-1.

Game 4 is tonight, with Jake Peavy starting for the Red Sox against Jeremy Hellickson.

Tampa Bay took a winor-go-home game for the fourth time in 9 days.

The Rays did it with an unlikely stroke as Lobaton, who came off the bench late in the game, connected against Red Sox closer Koji Uehara.

Lobatonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot wound up in the giant fish tank beyond the wall at Tropicana Field.

AP

The Raysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jose Lobaton (59) arrives at home plate after hitting the game-winning home run in the ninth inning in Game 3 of an ALDS game against the Red Sox on Monday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Athletics 6, Tigers 3:

Brandon Moss, Josh Reddick and Seth Smith homered for the Oakland Athletics, who chased Anibal Sanchez in the fifth inning and beat the Tigers in Detroit for a 2-1 lead in their AL division series.

Moss broke a 3-all tie in the fifth with a solo shot, and Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run

drive later in the inning ended Sanchezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day. It was an impressive offensive show after the teams split two tense, low-scoring games in Oakland.

The Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s can close out the series today.

Sanchez, the American Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ERA leader, allowed six runs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; five earned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings.

Wacha silences Piratesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats, fans PIRATES

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you take high talent and high character people that are motivated and support each other, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up,â&#x20AC;? Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tough combination.â&#x20AC;?

One the Pirates are still trying to master. Pedro Alvarez hit his third home run of the series, connecting with one out in the eighth for Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only hit in Game 4. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough for the Pirates to advance to the NL championship series for the first time in 21 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why we play five,â&#x20AC;? star center fielder Andrew McCutchen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be ready for the fifth one.â&#x20AC;?

The Pirates werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite ready for the fourth one, not with the way Wacha was dealing. He walked two and struck

out nine before giving way to the bullpen in the eighth.

Matt Hollidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tworun homer off Charlie Morton in the sixth was all the offense required on a day the Cardinals tossed the first one-hitter in the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lengthy postseason history.

Trevor Rosenthal worked around a twoout walk in the ninth, retiring McCutchen on a popup to shallow center field for his first postseason save. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a good pitch for him,â&#x20AC;? McCutchen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wish it got a little more of the barrel. It would have been a great story.â&#x20AC;?

Instead, a taut series will head back to Busch Stadium.

Game 5 will be Wednesday, with ace Adam Wainwright starting for the NL Central champion Cardinals and rookie Gerrit Cole going for the wild-card Pirates. Both pitchers won last week in the NLDS.

The Cardinals finished with only three hits, and that was enough. Holliday got two of them, including his homer in the sixth after Morton walked big-hitting Carlos Beltran to start the inning. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could go back and look at pitches over and over again and second guess yourself,â&#x20AC;? Morton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where that pitch was. It was outer third somewhere, thigh-down and he went out and got it, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong.â&#x20AC;?

So was the 6-foot-6 kid on the one, the one barely a year removed from a standout college career at Texas A&M. Wacha didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t permit a runner until walking Russell Martin leading off the sixth.

Wacha nearly no-hit the Washington Nationals in his last start on Sept. 24, surrendering only an infield single by Ryan Zimmerman with two outs in the ninth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Problems at home can be expected. Stay on top of any changes being made or interference you face. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get angry -- if you offer solutions, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remain in control.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good day to travel for business or pleasure. Attending a conference or getting together with people you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen in some time will lead to interesting ideas and future plans.
