ROCK FALLS
Local history for the masses Businesswoman wants to preserve stories of old commercial buildings BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570
ROCK FALLS – The Rock Falls Project didn’t really start out as a project. When Connie Selmi’s daughter and son-in-law, Kurt and Katy SelmiDowns, recently bought adjoining storefronts at 223-225 First Ave., she was curious about the history of the buildings that are now Selmi’s Bridal and Katy’s Country Financial office. “People said, ‘Remember when Rigler’s Smoke Ring was at that building?” Selmi said. “The family

is still at the gun shop on First Avenue, and I realized how much history is in these business buildings.” She then decided to research all of the commercial buildings on First Avenue and transfer her research from several different print sources to one convenient digital site. But the plan kept evolving. “I started thinking that it wouldn’t be fair to just do First Avenue, so now I’m trying to do all of the businesses in Rock Falls,” Selmi said.
She has been taking pictures of local storefronts, shooting video, and gleaning information from business owners and employees. The digital results are taking shape at www. therockfallsproject.com. The site is replete with social media options, and all of her work is in Internet cloud storage. She said the Facebook page is basic, set up simply to tell people what she’s working on.

Connie Selmi works on what has become The Rock Falls Project – her effort to create a digital site with information and history about all commercial buildings and businesses in the city. She hopes to have the project, at therockfallsproject.com, completed in time for the city’s sesquicentennial celebration in 2017.

Mikayla Huisheere (right) and her friend Emily Rasmussen look over items being sold by Susi Daniel (left) of Bolingbrook as they browse the vendors section of Gardenstock Art and Music Festival on Saturday at Distinctive Gardens in Dixon. The daylong event featured musicians, artists, a tie-dye contest, a raflle, and a 50/50 drawing. The sixth annual event also included about 40 regional artists, painters, photographers, sculptors, ceramicists, jewelers, mixed media artists, and more.
DIXON – The Cops and Bobbers youth fishing derby yielded only four fish Saturday, but no one watching at the end of the event would have guessed. Dixon Police Officer Tony Quadraro, the event coordinator, reeled in the young fishermen so they could enjoy snacks and collect their prizes. “We didn’t catch as many fish as last year, but we got to go outside and have a great time together,” Quadraro said, positioned behind the prize table that had something for all ages. The eighth annual derby once again brought kids up to 15 years old, parents and police officers to Lowell Park for fun and positive messages in a relaxed environment. Cops and Bobbers is one of several programs run nationwide through the Cops and Kids Foundation. FISH CONTINUED ON A8

Selmi seeking photos for site HISTORY
CONTINUED FROM A1
Selmi hopes to have the project completed in time for the city’s sesquicentennial celebration in 2017. She said she needs some help from current and former residents. “What I need help with most right now is photos,� Selmi said. “I want to get those on the site with the street pages.� Mayor Bill Wescott said he has talked to Selmi about the project and also is doing some of his own research in anticipation of the city’s 150th anniversary. “I’ve been looking at materials from the 100th and 150th celebrations to get an idea of what they did then and what their committee structures looked like,� Wescott said. He said he hopes to get the sesquicentennial committees set up before the end of the year and start thinking about how to budget for the event. “I’m getting in touch with people and gauging interest so we can get a core group of organizers together,� he said. Selmi has registered the domain for 3 years and
hopes the project will always be continued by someone. “I want to make sure someone continues this because we don’t have anything like it now,� she said. “There is just so much information in so many places. Things could continually be added that we might not even have thought of yet.� Bethany Bland, Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce president and CEO, has been doing some research for the Chamber’s upcoming 60-year anniversary. She said there could be many uses for Selmi’s site. “The best records are at the Sterling-Rock Falls Historical Society, but the things people would have in their personal collections could make this so valuable,� Bland said. Bland said she often gets inquiries referring to what business buildings used to be many years ago. She continues to learn along with the community. “I’ll get calls from out of state that ask about a place that used to be a grocery store, and they think it was next to a gas station,� Bland said. “In a small town, this local history is the heart and soul of a community.�

IRAQ
Kurdish forces retake parts of largest dam IRBIL, Iraq (AP) – Aided by U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes, Kurdish forces Sunday wrested back part of Iraq’s largest dam from Islamic militants who had captured it less than 2 weeks ago, security officials said. The U.S. began targeting fighters from the Islamic State with airstrikes Aug. 8, allowing Kurdish forces to fend off an advance on their regional capital of Irbil. Recapturing the entire Mosul Dam and the territory surrounding its reservoir would be a significant victory against the Islamic State group, which has seized swaths of northern and western Iraq and northeastern Syria. The dam on the Tigris supplies electricity and water to a large part of the country.
The Kurdish forces, known as peshmerga, launched the operation early Sunday to retake the Mosul Dam, said Gen. Tawfik Desty, a Kurdish commander, after a day of U.S. and Iraqi airstrikes pushed back Islamic State fighters. A spokesman for the peshmerga said the clashes were moving eastward. “The west is in control of peshmerga. But there are some battles taking place in the (east) right now,� said Halgurd Hekmat, peshmerga spokesman. Another commander confirmed the information, saying that by Sunday evening, peshmerga forces had crossed the Tigris to the broad plains held by the Islamic State. The U.S. military conducted 14 airstrikes Sunday, damaging or destroy-
ing 10 armed vehicles, seven Humvees, two armored personnel carriers and one checkpoint, according to a statement by the Central Command. On Saturday, it carried
out nine airstrikes near the dam, destroying four armored personnel carriers, seven armed vehicles, two Humvees and another armored vehicle, the command said.

2014 ELECTION | STATEWIDE OFFICES
Challengers: Lack of experience an asset GOP candidates have uphill battle to victory against Illinois incumbents CHICAGO (AP) – A suburban accountant and retired downstate Marine say their lack of political experience is actually a big asset in the race to unseat two of Illinois’ most prominent and longest-serving Democratic constitutional officers: Secretary of State Jesse White and Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Hoping to tap into an anti-incumbent mood come November, accountant and tax attorney Michael Webster hopes to convince voters that not being a “career politician� and focusing on business issues will help him oust White, who is Illinois’ longest-serving secretary of state with four terms.
Meanwhile, Paul Schimpf, a prosecutor and graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, insists he’s not beholden to special interests and would focus more on anti-corruption efforts than consumer advocacy like Madigan, a three-term attorney general who’s earned praise nationwide for going after big banks and for-profit colleges over claims of fraudulent practices. The themes in the down-ballot races, detailed in Associated Press candidate questionnaires and interviews, have trickled down from the state’s highly watched governor’s race where Republican Bruce Rauner, a venture capi-

White, 80, wrote that the three biggest issues are the state budget, the underfunded pension system and jobs. Considered a party elder, White has focused on driver safety, particularly drunk driving and distracted driving. Outside the office, the Chicago resident has also built decades of good will with the Jesse White Tumbling Team for children who live in housing projects. In his AP questionnaire, he cited efforts to improve hiring and ethics over the years. “We eliminated the ‘culture of corruption’ and

IN BRIEF Rockford to get jet repair facility
‘My hope is that it works’ Woman fighting epilepsy receives NeuroPace device BY SHAWN SHINNEMAN Shaw Media
CRYSTAL LAKE – It is Thursday night, July’s last hurrah, four X’s on the calendar until 22-year-old Ashley Kelley goes in for her life’s second major surgery. This time, doctors will take out a piece of her skull and replace it with a newly FDAcertified device called a NeuroPace RNS System. The hope – a word Kelley’s Crystal Lake family uses often – is that the NeuroPace controls or reduces or maybe even completely stops all these seizures. Kelley suffers between 15 and 20 of them a month, ranging in duration and intensity but sometimes teetering toward life-threatening. Her mother tracks them in a pink binder, and it is thick. Purple is the color given to epilepsy awareness, and this parking lot is acutely aware. A couple families came together to make shirts in the color of the cause. They adorn the majority of the crowd, which surely tops the 122 people who accepted the invitation on Facebook. “Look at all these people she’s touched,� said Gina Smak, Kelley’s boss at a Woods Creekbased before and afterschool program. “Is it not amazing to be a part of this?� At 8:01 p.m., the group herds across the street, toward the house on the corner. They’re off to greet Kelley with a send-off and prayer vigil - a show of support for a young woman who’s been through a lot. But it’s a surprise. So shhhhh.

Ashley Kelley, who suffers from epilepsy, is kissed by her mother, Gail, in front of her father, Jim, as a song is played during a surprise vigil July 30 outside of their home in Crystal Lake. Ashley will be the first at Rush University Medical Center to receive a NeuroPace implant now that it’s been approved by the FDA after a 10-year trial. The hope is that the NeuroPace controls, reduces, or stops the 15 to 20 epileptic seizures Kelley experiences each month.
Risks rise as time goes by Kelley’s first seizure came at 16 months, presenting itself in a way now familiar but at the time foreign - and frightening. A second ago, she’d been giggling on the swings. Now she would give no reaction to the cues of her parents. Emergency responders told the Kelleys their daughter was having a seizure - and a serious one, at that. It was the beginning of what has become an unpredictable life. Kelley, to this day, rarely gets the more noticeable Grand mal seizures, which present as violent muscle contractions. But, as time ticks and Kelley doesn’t come out of a seizure, the risk of lifelong complications increases. “Her heart rate continues to drop, and it gets so low that without medical intervention, we’re not going to get her back,� Gail Kelley said. Brain damage, too, becomes a risk at a point. Lately, the seizures have been coming more FREE KITCHEN DESIGNS BY Jocelyn Lilly, Kitchen Design: 815-266-1354

frequently - more than once a day at times. At best, they’re done in 25 or 30 seconds. The worst of them stretch seven or eight minutes. It’s for those instances that Kelley’s friends and relatives carry one-milligram, dissolvable tablets of a drug named Clonazepam. If the seizure persists long enough, they place one under Kelley’s tongue. They place a second if the first doesn’t kick it. “The two of them went with their uncle and cousins out to dinner the other night. (I asked), ‘Do you have a pill?’ “ Gail Kelley said. “We’re just always thinking ahead. We have to.�
Surgery offers new hope On Aug. 4, Kelley became the first patient at Rush University Medical Center to receive the NeuroPace RNS System since it was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It works like this: surgeons take out a piece of the skull and implant
thoroughly investigate any allegation of wrongdoing,� he wrote. The theme of fighting corruption has emerged in the attorney general race, too. Schimpf, 43, claimed in his questionnaire that Illinois has “become more corrupt and dysfunctional since Lisa Madigan took office,� citing two consecutive governors – George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich – sent to prison. Madigan noted she has taken action to “protect all Illinoisans from financial fraud and scams,� and even Schimpf acknowledged Madigan’s long advocacy record. Her questionnaire responses about accomplishments, goals and views on social issues ran 11 pages to the Waterloo resident’s six.
the NeuroPace - a programmed computer chip roughly half the size of an iPhone - in its place. They connect it to electrodes, spread strategically throughout the brain where the seizures start. The NeuroPace system then detects abnormal electrical activity in the brain and delivers small bits of electrical stimulation to stop seizures before they begin. At least, that’s the hope. Patients who’ve received the implant have fared well during decade long clinical trials, according to a news release from Rush University Medical Center. The device led to the complete elimination of seizures in nearly half the patients. The Kelleys have kept their expectations somewhat tempered, partly because of what history has taught them. At age 9, Kelley had her right temporal lobe removed, a procedure that stopped the seizures for more than a year before they slowly crept back into her life. The decision to pursue that surgery was

ultimately her parents’ - and the two struggled with it, Gail Kelley said. This one is Ashley’s, and the decision came easy. “I would like to be more independent,� Kelley said. “I would like to be able to drive. I would like to be able to finish my classes, and maybe find another job ... a life job, a full-time job.� Asked about her expectations for after the surgery, Kelley used that word again. The one tattooed on her mother’s wrist, and in bold, wooden letters painted purple on the Kelleys’ fireplace. “My hope is that it works,� she said.
Purple-clad greeting A little girl in a purple dress climbs the couple steps to the Kelleys’ door, stretches, rings the doorbell and retreats. Nervous silence. Then, one door swinging inward, Ashley Kelley reveals herself behind the glass. Her family her parents, Gail and Jim, her sister, Kourtni, 17, and brother, Ryan, 24 - fills in behind her. “This started just a couple weeks ago as a little idea,� said Tammy Bielfeldt, who organized the vigil. People have crowded around the Kelleys’ walkway, filling their yard, spilling into their driveway and across the sidewalk. Ashley Kelley thanks them. She gets surrounded by a dozen or so children she works with at the before and afterschool program. She gives more hugs, returns to her family, cries handin-hand with her mom. Bielfeldt says, into the microphone, that she does not have to mention how wonderful Ashley Kelley is. There’s an entire purple mob to do that.

WASHINGTON – Oh no! The United States is falling behind in yet another big area – commercial use of drones. (Those things that buzz around and gather information and drop bombs overseas but don’t yet deliver Amazon packages.) Although drones seem to be in wide use elsewhere, the Federal Aviation Administration is nervous about letting U.S. skies fill up with them, citing safety and privacy concerns. The FAA already fined a photographer $10,000 for taking commercial pictures of a university by drone. It was overturned in court, but the FAA is appealing the decision. The FAA has approved use of drones for law enforcement officers and firefighting but insists these are highly regulated and restricted. Meanwhile, real estate agents are having a field day, literally, flying drones over houses to show buyers a different perspective, ignoring the fact that this is against the law. The Des Moines Register found a number of agents who use drones they make themselves. Now, farmers want to use drones to check their crops. A company in Maryland is getting ready to sell them despite their illegality. Amazon head Jeff Bezos says he foresees the day when an Amazon order is delivered in 30 minutes by drone. Up in the sky! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s the “Divergent� series from Amazon. He has teamed up with three drone manufacturers to lobby for government permission. Those less-than-reputable journalists who try to invade private weddings, bar mitzvahs, and celebrity birthday parties would love to use drones anywhere they want to get pictures. FILM PRODUCERS SEE great potential in using drones to get aerial shots with far less cost and risk. Not so fast, say U.S. regulators, including the FAA and Department of Transportation. Who would be licensed to use drones? What training would be required? How would commercial planes avoid them? So far, drones are unable to detect and avoid other flying objects. Who’s responsible if my

drone hits your drone? What about Peeping-Tom drones? Not surprising, there is a trade association that now represents military and civil drone manufacturers. The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International is lobbying for clear and lenient regulations. Congress wants regulations ready by September 2015. But nobody expects that deadline to be met. Most think regulations won’t be enforceable for months, if not years. The FAA, however, has suggested there could be 7,500 licensed drones in the United States by 2018 and is testing drones in six states. IN EUROPE, PROGRESS is much faster. Also, the U.S. military has no qualms about bombing terrorist targets using drones, which has convinced some foreigners that all Americans are drone-crazy. But Canada, Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom are far ahead of the U.S. in commercial drone use. Last year, Transport Canada, a regulatory body, issued 1,000 non-military permits for drones. The U.S. has issued one commercial air permit, in June, giving BP authority to use drones in its oil operations in Alaska for 5 years. A 2013 permit to ConocoPhillips was to scan the seabed. While American hobbyists fly drones (not near airports or higher than 400 feet), most Americans seem to be leery of weird unidentified objects buzzing over their heads. A recent drone industry conference in Washington drew forth no expectation that widespread commercial use of drones is arriving anytime soon. In fact, it will be years, according to United Nations officials. The other day, my mother wanted to watch “Gone with the Wind� in honor of its 75th anniversary. She enjoyed the anticipation of waiting for her DVD to arrive 2 days later and had a pleasant conversation with the mail carrier who delivered it. She didn’t have to scan the skies while waiting for it to fall on her doorstep.

Wife resents husband for hiding health problems Dear Abby: When my husband is sick or needs to have surgery, he refuses to tell his family and doesn’t want me to. This puts me in a very awkward position. I’m damned if I do tell them because he will be upset with me, and damned if I don’t because his family won’t trust me, and I don’t want things that way. Invariably, when he gets home, he calls his family and tells them all about his surgery, and I’m left looking like I withheld the information, when it’s not me at all. I have asked him what if he DIES? His family will be upset not only by the tragedy, but

‘Girls got all the fish’ at eighth annual derby FISH
CONTINUED FROM A1
The program was launched to not only teach kids to fish, but to get them hooked on fun outdoor activities instead of drugs and crime. Another objective is to give the kids an opportunity to see officers in a different light. “It’s important to get the kids outside and interested in activities, but it also gives them a positive experience with police,� Quadraro said. “They see us dressed casual like this, and they see that we’re just human beings that have fun, go shopping, and do things just like everybody else.� The girls seemed to have more luck hooking the fish on this day – and it was hard for them to stay humble. “It’s cool that the girls got all the fish,� said Mallory Buskohl, 10, of Dixon. Mallory won the prize for landing the biggest fish of the day, a 28-inch carp.
Charlie Thomas, an officer with the Dixon Police Department, helps his son, Cole, 2, reel in his line Saturday during the department’s Cops and Bobbers fishing derby at Lowell Park. The program encourages kids to fish with the department’s members and win prizes. guys in her life. “I fish with my dad a lot and I really like it.� This is Lauren’s third year in the fishing derby, and she plans to do it again next year. “This is a fun activity that they all do together,� said Lauren’s mom, Jennifer Dallas. “We’re gonna come back and show up the boys again next year.�
Quadraro doesn’t have to wait until next year to interact with kids. He is the school resource officer at Reagan Middle School. “I deal with any security problems kids bring into school, and work on education programs for everything from drugs and Internet safety to bullying and how to use 911,� he said.

Tyler Lacroix, 12, of Rock Falls sits on a tree stump while fishing in Dixon’s Police Department’s Cops and Bobbers event Saturday morning at Lowell Park. The eighth annual derby allowed Dixon police officers and kids to interact in a relaxed environment. In the middle of the girl power celebration, Mallory did remember to give credit to the boy who helped teach her how to fish – her older brother, who was there
cheering her on. “My brother fishes a lot and he used to be in the fishing derby too,� she said. “I did it last year for the first time.� Lauren Dallas, 11, of

Bad bridge habits may require cure
Grizzwells by Bill Schorr
In his “Comic Dictionary,” Evan Esar defined a zoo as an excellent place to study the habits of human beings. This week, we are going to study some of the bad habits of bridge players and try to cure them. First, we will start with declarer play. South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads a fourthhighest heart four and East plays his eight? South starts with six top tricks: two spades, two hearts (given the first trick) and two diamonds. He must work on clubs to get the extra winners. However, the defender with the club ace will not take the first round of the suit, but the second. Then South will need a dummy
entry to get to the three club tricks. And what is the only entry? It has to be in hearts. But if South makes the habitual play at trick one of winning
cheaply with his heart jack, he won’t see the dummy again. South must take the first trick with his heart ace. Then, after driving out the club ace and winning East’s probable spade-jack shift, South can lead a low heart to force an entry to the dummy. Get into the habit of playing slowly at trick one. Lastly, how would East know to take the second, not third, round of clubs? West gives his partner a count signal in clubs. Here, with an odd number, he plays his lowest club first. Alternatively, if he had a doubleton club, he would play high-low. Note that if East ducks two clubs, South can shift to spades and take three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. © 2014 UFS

POLICE SHOOTING
Federal autopsy ordered in Missouri teen’s death Protests continue on first night of curfew; 7 arrested FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) – U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday ordered a federal medical examiner to perform another autopsy on the body of a black Missouri teenager whose fatal shooting by a white police officer has spurred a week of rancorous and sometimes violent protests in suburban St. Louis. Department of Justice spokesman Brian Fallon cited a request by family members and the “extraordinary circumstances� surrounding the case of 18-yearold Michael Brown in explaining decision. “This independent examination will take place as soon as possible,� Fallon said in a statement. “Even after it is complete, Justice Department officials still plan to take the stateperformed autopsy into account in the course of their investigation.� The Justice Department already had deepened its civil rights investigation of the shooting. Officials said a day earlier that 40 FBI agents were going door-to-door gathering information in the Ferguson, Missouri, neighbor-

Brown’s shooting in the middle of a street following a suspected robbery of a box of cigars from a nearby market has sparked a week of protests, riots and looting in the St. Louis suburb. hood where an unarmed Brown was shot to death in the middle of the street on Aug. 9. David Weinstein, a former federal prosecutor who supervised the criminal civil rights section of Miami’s U.S. Attorney’s office, said a federally conducted autopsy “more closely focused on entry point of projectiles, defensive wounds and bruises� might help that investigation, and that the move is “not that unusual.� He also said federal authorities want to calm any public fears that no action will be taken on the case. Holder’s latest announce-
ment followed the first night of a state-imposed curfew in Ferguson, which ended with tear gas and seven arrests after police dressed in riot gear used armored vehicles to disperse defiant protesters. Missouri State Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson said protesters weren’t the reason for the escalated police reaction early Sunday morning after the midnight curfew took effect, but a report of people who had broken into a barbecue restaurant and taken to the roof, and a man who flashed a handgun in the street as armored vehicles approached the crowd of protesters.

Texas Gov. Perry defends his veto that led to abuse of power charges WASHINGTON (AP) – Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Sunday defended the veto that led a grand jury to indict him on two felony counts of abuse of power, noting that even some Democrats have questioned the move by prosecutors. “I stood up for the rule of law in the state of Texas, and if I had to do it again I would make exactly the same decision,� Perry, a potential candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, said.

STERLING – Two crucial shots, both on the 17th hole at Emerald Hill, went a long way toward determining who would earn medalist honors at the Women’s Rock River Classic golf tournament on Sunday afternoon. One of the shots, by Emerald Hill’s Megan Baker, was executed flawlessly. The other, by PrairieView’s Elizabeth Curtiss, was not. It resulted in a twoshot swing, and helped Baker defend the title she also won in 2013. Baker finished with a two-round score of 157, two strokes fewer than Curtiss. “It feels pretty good, but it was tough,” Baker said. “It was a fight till the end.” COOKING CONTINUED ON B3

When a player draws a standing ovation before making a pregame address at center court, one might say he has been missed a bit. Derrick Rose played basketball at the United Center for the first time in 9 months Saturday night, bathing in adulation before, during, and after USA Basketball’s 95-78 victory over Brazil. Not since Nov, 18, 2013, had Rose’s hometown fans cheered him in action. Four days later, a torn meniscus piled on top of a torn ACL from April 2012 to rob Rose of two seasons of his prime. In his pregame remarks, Rose thanked USA Basketball for bringing an event to his city stained by violence. Then he started alongside Stephen Curry, James Harden, fellow Chicagoan Anthony Davis, and Kenneth Faried, finished with seven points, and packed enough highlights into his playing time to remind all of what has been missed. Those included a missed breakaway dunk – “my second this week,� Rose said sheepishly, referencing one in practice – a coast-to-coast drive and banked floater to beat the halftime buzzer, and a nasty crossover in the third quarter. “I felt good,� Rose said. “I wasn’t trying to rush anything. I was playing basketball like I’ve been playing these past couple of weeks during

Derrick Rose (6) drives between Brazil’s Anderson Varejao (11) and Raulzinho Neto (5) during the second half of an exhibition game Saturday night in Chicago. Rose received loud ovations in his first game at the United Center in 9 months, and the United States won 95-78. tryouts. Playing hard on defense and just taking shots when I have shots, and letting the game come to me.� Davis led Team USA with 20 points and five blocks, stealing the show in an athletic and energetic performance that included a spectacular alley-oop dunk in transition, and a full dive into the stands for a loose ball. “Ant played great man,� Rose said. “That’s what we need – blocking shots, rebounding, diving for the ball out of bounds. We didn’t know how he was going to play with the bigs they have, because he’s kind of smaller than
they are weight-wise. But he came out here and hooped.� Rose briefly retreated to the locker room for a small cut over his left eye, but returned to play the entire third quarter. Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski also played Rose the final 5 minutes, 20 seconds, laughing off a question that he succumbed to the crowd’s wishes. “I would never do that,� Krzyzewski said. “One of the things about bringing a guy back is that if you keep on his minutes, you keep a lid on him. And he has to learn to play tired. We wanted to see that. He
did pretty good.’’ The love kept coming for Rose all night. He called the crossover move “just a play,� said “the whole entire night� stood out, and that he would have trouble sleeping overnight. “I’ve been preparing for this for a long time,� Rose said. “If this was a couple of weeks ago, I probably would’ve been emotional. But right now, it feels great. We won the game.� Rose and Team USA traveled to New York on Sunday, where they will play two more exhibition games before the FIBA World Cup in Spain, Aug. 30-Sept. 14.

CHICAGO – The April 23 signing seemed like nothing more than the addition of a veteran body to a competition at running back behind Matt Forte. Now, through two preseason games, Shaun Draughn has emerged as the Bears’ current No. 2 running back. The 26-yearold back has bounced around enough to know not to take that for granted, however. “Job for me to lose? I don’t have it, so there’s nothing to lose,� Draughn said after the Bears’ 20-19 preseason win Thursday over Jacksonville. The fact that the Bears have struggled to get going on the ground has been a talking point, but Draughn was a bright spot, carrying the ball three times for 33 yards, and catching two passes for 12 yards. “I thought he did well,� Bears coach Marc Trestman said. “He’s really done good in the pass-catching department. He’s shown good running skills, and he’s practiced well.� Last year with the Ravens, Draughn appeared in three games. He had four carries for 2 yards. The Bears may not have taken much from 2013 tape, but in 2012, Draughn appeared in all 16 games for the Chiefs. He had 59 carries for 233 yards and two scores, to go along with 24 catches for 158 yards. That’s the player we’ve seen since minicamp, and in Bourbonnais, Draughn passed up second-year back Michael Ford and fourth-round pick Ka’Deem Carey on the depth chart. Draughn has two qualities that have helped his cause. First, his experience, compared to four other running backs with a combined zero NFL carries.

Bears running back Shaun Draughn (38) rushes against the Jaguars during Thursday’s preseason game at Soldier Field. Draughn has moved up to the No. 2 back behind Matt Forte. “He’s not a rookie, so when he showed up and we got to work with him in the OTAs, I thought he caught on quick to what we were trying to do,� Bears running backs coach Skip Peete said. “He seems very comfortable in running routes, and as a runner, seems very comfortable, and doesn’t have a lot of nervous tension that some guys new to a situation would have.� The route-running is part of Draughn’s second key attribute, his receiving abilities. He noticed how the Bears used Forte as a receiver last season (74 catches), and can provide more than the four catches last year’s backup, Michael Bush, contributed. “When [the Bears] called me, I immediately thought about that,� Draughn said about how the Bears use backs in their passing game, then comparing his dual-threat abilities to Forte. “We’re sort of one in the same,
we’ve got our different styles, but the way they line us up at different positions, at wide receiver or split us out in empty, and allow us to actually catch the ball, I feel like that’s a strength that I can definitely help, and if something went down, I could definitely step in and help out.� Draughn has a more similar build (6 feet, 205 pounds) to Forte than the other backs, in addition to their style of play, and Draughn smiled and pointed to the locker next to him at Soldier Field, Forte’s, when asked about how they’ve gelled. “We clicked as soon as I got here. We’ve been tight ever since. We talk every day about how I wasn’t playing before, but then I came here and they really gave me a chance,� he said. “I talked to him before, that’s all I really wanted, a fair opportunity. He took me under his wing, he’s not too much older than me, but he’s a great guy.�

PrairieView’s Elizthbeth Curtis tees off on the fourth hole Sunday during the final round of the Women’s Rock River Classic at Emerald Hill in Sterling. Curtiss lost the medalist race by two strokes, but led PrairieView to the team title.

Curtiss, a University of IllinoisChicago senior who won a state championship at Byron High School in 2010, was the midway leader after carding a 4-over-par 76 in Saturday’s first round. She was two clear of Baker, and maintained that advantage as each golfer fired 5-over-par 41s on the front nine. Curtiss went up three shots with a par on the 10th hole, but Baker got two strokes back with pars on the 13th and 14th holes. The margin remained at one heading into the 17th, a 352-yard par 5. Baker’s drive, in the right rough, left her with 150 yards to the pin, while Curtiss hit the fairway and had just 116 yards left. Baker’s 6-iron approach hit the left side of the green and left her about 30 feet away for eagle. She ended up two-putting for a birdie. “It was a pretty sweet shot,� Baker said. Curtiss, meanwhile, went long and left with a pitching wedge, leaving her with a delicate chip to a green that ran away from her. She ended up with a bogey, leaving her one stroke back going into the last hole. “It wasn’t even like I clubbed down,� Curtiss said of her second

That was the story of both days. I’d hit a good shot, but it wouldn’t stop on the greens.� On the 18th, Baker sewed up the tourney by hitting the green of the 381-yard, par 5 in two shots. She three-putted the final green, but so did Curtiss, who ended with a bogey to finish two strokes behind. Curtiss could take consolation in that her team, PrairieView, ended up taking the team title. The Byron club finished with a best-againstbogey score of -46, one fewer than Prophet Hills, and two fewer than Emerald Hill. PrairieView had been in the team hunt the past 2 years, but was unable to seal the deal. “All I can say is finally,� Curtiss said. “I don’t care if we won by half a stroke. It’s nice to be able to bring that trophy back to the home course, and kind of show it off a little bit in the trophy case.� Curtiss had a best-against-bogey
score of +18. Fourth Flight winner Deb Clark finished -2, while Dawn Smith and Shelly Barkei were each -7. Rounding out the PrairieView lineup were Char Morris and Laura Medlar, each at -24. Curtiss mentioned afterward this will likely be her last Rock River Classic. After graduating next spring, she hopes to become a teaching professional, and possibly make a run at a pro career down the road, if her game gets to that point. “Honestly, this is my favorite tournament of the year,� Curtiss said. “Everyone is so nice, and I think that’s what the Rock River tournament is all about. It’s about making friends and memories and experiences.� Leading the way for Prophet Hills was Cathy Verhulst, who finished at +2. Shelley Felske (-6) and Karen Wiersema (-9) won the Third and Fifth flights, respectively. Baker led all golfers with a +20 best-against-bogey total. Hazel Pulford (-13) won the Sixth Flight for Emerald Hill. “The gals played pretty great,� Baker said, when asked about finishing third as a team. “It’s always a close rivalry with some of the teams here.� The other Flight winner was Shady Oaks’ Laurie Becker (+3), in a playoff against Oakville’s Donna Landis to take the Second Flight.

“I think they were raised to be pretty competitive,� Oregon coach Jim Spratt said, “and they’ve found an outlet in golf and bowling. Any sport they’d want to try, I think they’d be pretty successful.

In addition to golf, she’ll be a cheerleader for the fresh-soph football team. In the spring, she’s planning a return to the track team. As an eighth grader, she was a member of two sprint relays that qualified for the IESA state meet. On the golf course, Abi averaged 46 strokes per nine holes as a freshman,

Abi averaged 46 strokes per nine holes a year ago, with Ali at 49. while Ali checked in at 49. They both do most of their golfing at Sunset Golf Course in Mount Morris, and each are under the tutelage of local legend Salley Wessels. When asked what aspect of her game has improved the most this summer, Abi didn’t hesitate. She said chipping and putting, a point of emphasis every day with Wessels. “The short game is what she’s all about,� Abi said. For the second consecutive year, the Scheideckers, Repass, and Martin will form a
four-girl team. It’s the bare minimum to field a team, and their efforts to recruit more girls to give the sport a try proved fruitless. “We didn’t have any luck,� Abi said. “At the end of school last year, we tried to motivate and tell people it’s a sport pretty much anybody could enjoy, and there was just nobody that was interested.� That leaves just the four of them, but they did quite well a year ago. They went 4-3 in dual matches, placed third in the Big Northern Tournament, and earned a team sectional berth

after taking third at the Class 1A Byron Regional with a 438 total. The Hawks finished 12th at the sectional with a team score of 455. A score of 399 was needed to advance to state, something that could be within reach if the Scheideckers, Repass, and Martin can all put it together on a given day. “We have to have faith in our team,� Abi said, “because it’s just the four of us. Every score counts, so nobody can have a bad day.�

The Cubs’ Luis Valbuena hits an RBI single to drive in Javier Baez during the fourth inning Sunday against the Mets at Citi Field in New York. The Cubs won 2-1 on Starlin Castro’s solo home run in the top of the ninth inning.
Castro’s HR lifts Cubs Gillaspie’s slam propels Sox past Blue Jays "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS
Starlin Castro gave Mets fans a firsthand tease of the two-way talent that has so many of them eager to see him in a New York uniform. The All-Star shortstop hit a tiebreaking homer on the first pitch of the ninth inning Sunday, lifting the Cubs to a 2-1 victory at Citi Field. Castro also started a slick double play to snuff out a rally, showing off the full set of skills that could make him an attractive trade target this winter. Chicago has several touted shortstops rising through its system, while the Mets are searching for a solution at that position. So it seems a possible fit, and plenty of Mets backers have called for the team to pursue the 24-year-old Castro. Chicago starter Jake Arrieta allowed two hits in seven smooth innings. Featuring a sharp curve, he struck out nine and
left with a 1-0 lead following Luis Valbuena’s run-scoring single in the fourth. Curtis Granderson tied it with a two-out RBI single off winner Pedro Strop (2-4) in the eighth, snapping skids of 0-for17 and 1-for-29. A diving catch by rookie center fielder Arismendy Alcantara moments earlier prevented more potential damage. Castro greeted closer Jenrry Mejia (5-6) with his 13th home run, an opposite-field drive that barely cleared the wall near the right-field corner. Hector Rondon got three quick outs for his 17th save, finishing a four-hitter that ended Chicago’s three-game losing streak.
White Sox 7, Blue Jays 5: Conor Gillaspie hit his
first grand slam, and Jordan Danks added a tworun shot to cap a six-run first inning in Chicago, and the White Sox held
off Toronto’s late rally. Toronto’s Edwin Encarnacion hit a two-run homer, his 27th this season and first since returning from the disabled list on Friday. The Blue Jays have lost five of six, and 11 of 15. Scott Carroll (5-7) went 5 2/3 innings. Jake Petricka earned his ninth save in 12 chances after loading the bases in the ninth. Cardinals 7, Padres 6:
Matt Carpenter finished a triple shy of the cycle and drove in three runs for the Cardinals in St. Louis, and Adam Wainwright (15-7) pitched seven strong innings to move into a tie for the major league lead with his 15th win. Jon Jay’s two-run single highlighted a four-run first inning, when the Cardinals batted around against rookie Odrisamer Despaigne (3-4). Peter Bourjos and Tony Cruz added RBI singles.
Davis playing to BV’s strengths HOME
CONTINUED FROM B1
That mix also helped make for a smooth transition from the old regime to the new one. Davis hasn’t noticed any speed bumps at all; he praised the Storm players from a strong summer session, and sees an energized group hungry to snap a 3-year playoff drought. But the Storm’s enthusiasm on the field is a reflection of their new coach. Davis said he’s “happy to come home,� and his players are happy to be suiting up for him. Practices have become fun for the BV players, mainly because the coaches don’t stick to the same script every day. “It’s kind of on and off, some days big on defense, and other days focused on offense,� senior fullback/defensive end Tommy Johnston said. “We mix things up, which keeps us on our toes, and I like that a lot. “The transition feels pretty smooth, and it’s getting better and better every day.� While it’s a new voice barking out orders and directing the Storm through drills, things aren’t too terribly different in Manlius. Davis realizes the talent he has at his fingertips, and has the Storm playing to their considerable strengths. That’s something the second- and third-year

Bureau Valley players run through drills during practice Thursday evening in Manlius. The transition to a new head coach has been smooth for the Storm. BV starters greatly appreciate. “His style works well with our skill set,� senior quarterback Parker Neuhalfen said. “It was a little different at first, but after a while, we got used to it; it didn’t take very long. It’s still football, and we’re focused on getting ready for the season.� With two big pieces coming back at the skill positions – Neuhalfen led the Storm in rushing (835 yards, 12 TDs) and passing (800 yards, 9 TDs) last season, while Johnston ran for 634 yards and nine TDs and caught 17 passes for 354 yards and three scores – it’s going to be up to BV’s offensive line to open holes in the run game and give Neuhalfen time to throw in the passing game.
AmboyDepotDays
But that’s not something the Storm are too worried about. “We work well as a team, and it’s not about any one guy individually,� senior linebacker Josh Mead said. “There’s an ethos we go by, and that hasn’t changed; we have confidence in what we’re doing and how we’re doing it. “Our leadership is through the roof, and the younger guys are good followers. We’re shooting for the best, obviously, and that comes from pushing ourselves day in and day out to get better.�

Gordon takes over points lead with latest win
Fantastic finish in Milwaukee
Pure Michigan joy
Points title within Power’s grasp
BY NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer
BROOKLYN, Mich. – It had been 13 years since Jeff Gordon’s last victory at Michigan – which came during the same season as his most recent championship on NASCAR’s top series. One of those droughts is finally over. Can the 43-year-old driver end the other as well? “Certainly things are going well – there’s no doubt about that,� Gordon said. “I’m as shocked as anybody else.� Gordon raced to his third Sprint Cup victory of the year, holding off Kevin Harvick on Sunday for his first win at Michigan International Speedway since 2001. Gordon broke the track qualifying record Friday when he took the pole at 206.558 mph. He followed that up with his third Cup victory at MIS – and took over the points lead from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. After a series of cautions, Gordon came off the final restart well, and led with 16 laps remaining. He fought off a challenge from Joey Logano and maintained a comfortable margin over Harvick, winning the 400-mile race by 1.412 seconds in his No. 24 Chevrolet. “Joey, as we rolled up to some of the restarts – not that last one, but some of the other ones – as guys were starting to sort of anticipate it, he was slowing down, and when he slowed down, everybody got bottled up, and then he’d take off,� Gordon said. “That last one, I thought he had a good start, but I had a good one, too.�

WEST ALLIS, Wis. – With traffic ahead, and teammate Juan Pablo Montoya closing in from behind, Will Power stepped on the accelerator. The IndyCar points leader maneuvered through the high-speed gridlock to claim a crucial victory Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile. Power added a little breathing room in the standings over secondplace Helio Castroneves, and boosted Team Penske’s hopes for a season title with two races to go. “We’re a well-oiled machine right now, with all three cars,� Power said about the team that also includes Castroneves. “If we have a couple more days like this, of course, it’s going to be a great finish.� A Penske driver has finished second each of the previous four seasons, and five of the last six. Power raced to his third victory this season, and his first on an oval. Montoya finished second, while Tony Kanaan was third.

championship. I really feel we can do that. That’s the message I want to put out there,� Logano said. “We’ve got to find a little bit more speed to keep up with one car today – 24 car was the best, only because he was good on the long run. We weren’t as good on the long run.� There were eight cautions, including a fairly early one when Danica Patrick’s car spun and Justin Allgaier crashed into her. Nine cars were caught up in that incident, including Matt Kenseth’s No. 20 Toyota. Kenseth never really recovered, finishing 38th. Brad Keselowski rubbed against the wall with about 32 laps remaining and finished eighth, remaining winless at this track in his home state. Johnson overcame some problems of his own to finish ninth, his first top10 showing in six races.
Jeff Burton was 37th after replacing Tony Stewart in the No. 14 car. Stewart skipped his second straight Cup race after he struck and killed a driver at a dirt-track race in New York last weekend. Gordon won for the 91st time on the Cup circuit, and this is his first threewin season since 2011. He took over the lead in the standings by three points over Earnhardt. Gordon also won this season at Kansas and Indianapolis. “As a driver, especially somebody that’s been getting beat up over the years about restarts, it’s pretty nice to have the last two wins come down to restarts.� Assuming they attempt to qualify for the final three races of the regularseason, the 12 drivers with victories this season have all wrapped up spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.
Top 5 finishers 1. Will Power 2. Juan Pablo Montoya 3. Tony Kanaan 3COTT $IXON *OSEF .EWGARDEN After coming into Milwaukee with a fourpoint lead, Power heads to the road course at Sonoma next week with 602 points, 39 more than Castroneves. Plus, Power proved doubters wrong who said he couldn’t win on ovals. It was Power’s third career oval victory, following Texas in 2011 and Fontana last year. “Yes! I love winning on ovals! I love winning on ovals!� he yelled on his radio after taking the checkered flag. The season could be decided on an oval with the final in 2 weeks at Fontana. Now brimming with confidence, Power said he especially wanted to win at Milwaukee. “This is the first year that I can say to myself that I am ... a better all-around driver,� the 33-year-old Australian said. “I guess, it just comes with age, you know.�

Astrograph A change of scenery awaits you Monday, August 18, 2014 A change of scenery and new challenges await you this year. Open lines of communication will help in both your personal and professional dealings. Getting ahead will become easier as your confidence improves. You should concentrate on honing your skills and start believing in your abilities. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will make lasting and advantageous connections today. Strong communication skills will help you assume a leadership role in an organization or club. Offer your services to those who need them. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t feel obliged to have a discussion about money if you’re not in the mood. Go over any joint financial accounts or agreements carefully. Refuse to let anyone take advantage of your generosity. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Do something that will exhilarate you physically and challenge you mentally. Taking your mind off your everyday routine will help you adjust the way you move forward. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
-- You may have been putting it off, but, sooner or later, you will have to scrutinize your cash reserves. Look for a way to maximize your investments so you can move forward without worry. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will be unnerved by an emotional encounter. Stay in control and defend your position. If you allow yourself to be bullied, you will lose respect and self-esteem. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- It’s time to firmly establish your professional course of action. Put your talents to good use. Your hard work will be wasted if you are not aggressive enough to carry out your plans. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Enhancing your appearance or getting in shape will help increase your chance to get ahead. It’s how you present what you have to offer that will make the difference. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Revisit dreams that used to excite you. Doing so will help provide the incentive to make changes that will increase your earning power. Dig deep into
your past to discover relevant information. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It’s a good day to plan an event. Get family or friends together for a picnic or barbecue. A potluck dinner will ensure that you don’t end up doing all the hard work yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Feeling nostalgic for old friends and days gone by will get you in the mood to reunite with people and places from your past. Looking back will help you make decisions that will change your future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It may seem as if everyone wants a piece of you today. Let them know tactfully that you have your own matters to take care of. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone may be trying to conceal important information. Be alert to unusual or secretive meetings or discussions, and consider the motives of one who is pressing you for information.
