WHITESIDE COUNTY | ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING UPDATE

Teen charged with felony 16-year-old faces reckless conduct in death of best friend

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5521

STERLING – The tall, thin, brown-haired boy stared down at the table as the charge

against him was read: felony reckless conduct.

Brady Osborne, 16 – dressed in blue and surrounded by his parents and grandparents – sat Monday in Whiteside County

Court opposite the family of the boy he is accused of accidentally killing, his best friend.

Matt Anderson, 15, died nearly 6 months ago, on March 1, killed by a gunshot wound to his chest.

Prosecutors say Osborne, the son of Illinois State Police trooper Troy Osborne, caused great bodily harm to Anderson after he picked up a loaded Glock handgun to show him,

and the gun discharged.

Anderson was taken to CGH Medical Center in Sterling, where he later died.

Thousands without power Systems part of growing network

Brief, violent front downs trees, blocks streets in twin cities

BY JERMAINE PIGEE jpigee@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5525

STERLING – Area residents started Monday battling extreme, above-average temperatures.

By mid-afternoon, there were power outages, downed power lines and trees blocking various roads in the twin cities.

Paul Callighan, a spokesperson with ComEd, said 9,000 customers in Whiteside County were without power as a result of the storm. Another 1,400 customers are without power in Lee County.

“We are currently assessing the damage and getting information from the field,” Callighan said. “At this time, we have no definitive restoration times. We will work throughout the night and into [today] to make repairs.”

About 10:30 p.m. Monday, Callighan said about 5,000 customers still were without power in Whiteside and Lee counties.

There was a downed power line right outside a house on 15th Street near Lincoln Elementary School in Sterling where Martin Cossman and his girlfriend, Debra Rodriguez, live.

To make matters worse, there also was a large tree down in front of their place.

“ComEd has been contacted about the power lines, but we have power,” Cossman said. “Other than the tree and downed power line, we are good.”

Cossman also said he was watching the storm when he saw a transformer blow nearby.

LOTS made 20,535 trips in 3-month period

DIXON – A Greyhound Lines pilot program could be up and running in March, bringing service between the Quad Cities to Chicago, with stops in Dixon and other smaller cities along the way.

And when it is, current public transportation systems like LeeOgle Transportation System or Whiteside County Public Transportation will be able to expand the public transportation network, connecting Sauk Valley residents to larger urban areas with consistent options.

But the current county public transportation systems have been in use for a while, and play an important role for some residents, providing transportation to doctor’s appointments, to work or to school.

A tree fell onto a house in the 600 block of Broadway Avenue in Sterling during a storm Monday afternoon. The tree broke windows on the second floor and knocked a hole into the kitchen of the house. Shortly after the storm, ComEd officials said 9,000 customers in Whiteside County and 1,400 more in Lee County were without power.

See a pattern forming?

Thunderstorms are in the forecast for not only today, but for the next 5 days. As for the present, Sauk Valley residents can expect a high of 85 and a low of 62 today. It will be sunny at times, but humidity will again hover near 100 percent.

Explosion at plant kills 2 Mortar round goes off; police call it an industrial accident

BY JOEL CURRIER -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

GRANITE CITY – A mortar round went off at the Totall Metal Recycling plant on Monday morning, killing two people and injuring one, police said.

Chief Rich Miller of the Granite City Police Department said the two bodies have been removed and the injured worker is at a St. Louis hospital. Police would not provide the condition or the nature of the man’s injury.

It was unclear where the mortar came from. It exploded in an outdoor area at the plant.

During a news conference down the road from the plant, Miller said police are not treating the explosion as a criminal investigation.

He described it as an industrial accident.

The company’s website says the plant employs more than 160 people in six departments. It remained closed for the remainder of the day. “Nobody in the general area is in danger,� Miller said. “Everybody is safe here.�

Monday afternoon, the company released a statement saying it was cooperating with authorities. “This is an extremely difficult day for our entire Totall Metal Recycling family following the loss of two of our friends and colleagues this morning,�

AP

The Scott Air Force Base bomb squad truck is seen outside Totall Metal Recycling in Granite City, where two workers were killed Monday by an explosion at the recycling plant. The plant recycles metals, including old shell casings. the statement said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the families as we collectively cope with this tragedy.�

A spokeswoman representing Totall said the company has been in business since 1994.

An Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit truck from Scott Air Force Base was on the scene. A police bomb squad went into the property before 10 a.m.

Relatives began showing up outside the plant but were kept back by police officers.

Miguel Romo, 41, of Fairmount City, is a maintenance worker at the plant. Romo has worked there 15 years.

He said he was inside a maintenance building when heard an explosion about 6:30 a.m.

Monday. Everyone was ordered off the grounds, he said.

Cerentano claimed conditions at the company were not safe. “There’s a lot of unsafe stuff there,� he said.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration sent an investigator to the scene. Aaron Priddy, area director in OSHA’s Fairview Heights area office, said the investigator is a compliance officer who is coordinating efforts with the fire chief and ATF agent.

OSHA has cited Totall Metal’s facility in Granite City for serious violations in 2011 and 2012 for violations of lead and respiratory protections, Priddy said.

SAUK VALLEY COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Teachers, support staff get pay raises Increases for each of 3 years in new deals

BY JERMAINE PIGEE JPIGEE SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON —Teachers and support staff at Sauk Valley Community College received a bump in pay Monday.

Trustees approved new contracts for the college’s

faculty and adjunct faculty, effective immediately.

Both are 3-year deals.

Faculty members will get a 2.75 percent pay increase, with 3 percent raises in the second and third years. “We are glad that negotiations went so smoothly,� said Andrew Bollman, chairman of the board of trustees. “I think that shows lots of good relations between both parties.�

Adjunct faculty will

r e c e i v e 3 . 5 p e r c e nt increases for each of the next 3 years.

Trustees also agreed to give all non-faculty members a 2.75 percent increase in pay for the 2014-15 school year, retroactive to July 1.

Historically, the board has authorized salary increases that coincide with those received by faculty.

In other business Monday, trustees received a brief update on work

being done by the presidential search committee, which includes community members, trustees and school staff.

Committee Chairman Scott Stoller said the marketing department has been creating a website for the search, which will include links to information about the process.

The goal is to have the website live by Sunday.

President George Mihel plans to retire next July.

Stoller said the com-

ROCK FALLS

mittee will advertise the position in higher education publications and online. The plan is to have the search hit publications before the Association of Community College Trustees Conference in Chicago, which begins Oct. 22.

The ACCT Leadership Congress is the largest national gathering of community college trustees, presidents, and administrators. “We want our search to

hit publications before the ACCT Conference in Chicago, with the hopes of using the conference as a public forum and sales opportunity,�

Stoller said.

The committee also wants input from local superintendents on what qualities they would like to see from the next Sauk president.

The hope is to have a new president in place well before Mihel retires, to help the transition.

Residents have chance to meet with alderman

BY PAM EGGEMEIER PEGGEMEIER SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

ROCK FALLS – Residents of the Fourth Ward will have an opportunity to express their opinions and concerns to an alderman at a neighborhood meeting at 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday.

The informal forum, which is

open to citizens outside the ward, will be held at 1407 11th Ave. in Rock Falls. City officials have been invited to answer questions.

Fourth Ward Alderman John Watts said a few neighborhood meetings were held last year. He hopes the more casual setting will open the lines of communication with those who aren’t comfortable

in council chambers. “Everyone has opinions on things, but they need to get it to the right channel,� Watts said. “Some people might be intimidated at a podium on television, so this offers them another way to communicate with officials.�

For more information, call Watts at 815-631-3012.

Network will expand with Greyhound return SYSTEMS

CONTINUED FROM A1

In April, May and June, LOTS made 20,535 trips for 120,246 miles and logged 6,950 hours, said Executive Director Jaime Blatti, who added that the biggest misconception is that they’re the senior bus. “I would say that we are a not-for-profit community organization, and our mission is to serve our residents to the best of our ability,� she said. “The reason we are here is to provide a service, just like the health department and the YMCA.�

LOTS runs regular routes to Sauk Valley Community College and has partnerships with Kreider Services and the Lee County Council on Aging. LOTS buses also take students to local elementary schools.

LOTS funding comes through state and federal programs.

Unlike public transportation in an urban area, rural transportation doesn’t have fixed routes. Residents call the dispatch operators to set up an appointment.

They’re then picked up and taken to their destination. Often, there’s a return trip.

Laura Calderon is executive director of the Illinois Public Transportation Association, a public

transportation advocacy group. She said the “on demand� nature of rural transportation creates a challenge. “It’s a door-to-door, curb-to-curb service,� she said. “And that type of service is much more expensive than the fixed route.�

The smaller buses travel more miles on rural roads, which aren’t as well-maintained as city roads. That increases maintenance costs. There also are fewer riders, so the more cost-efficient approach of shuttling many riders at once, like in an urban areas, isn’t possible as often.

Blatti said LOTS tries to schedule riders in the most efficient way and uses computer software to manage all the appointments and proposed routes to find the best combinations. “There are two ongoing challenges that will never change,� Blatti said. “There will never be enough funding, and there will never be enough vehicles.�

One-way, in-town rides, for those between the ages of 6 and 59, cost $2, with an additional 35 cents a mile for trips out of town. But the actual cost for each trip is about $13, Blatti said, meaning LOTS pays for the other $11 with its funding sources.

Blatti’s goal is to get the total cost for a trip down to $10, she said.

LOTS has 32 drivers, 36 buses and six dispatch operators.

Rides through LOTS must either start or end in Lee or Ogle County, but longer-distance rides can be arranged with other systems, too, taking advantage of a growing statewide network.

That network will be expanded and improved with the Greyhound pilot program. And in the past 12 years, the state has worked to expand the number of rural transportation systems.

The state’s funding for the operating budgets of these rural transportation systems is the best in the country, Calderon said.

But there is still room for improvement, she added, as the rate of trip denials is too high in some areas.

For LOTS – in April, May and June – there were only 25 trip denials, in addition to those 20,535

trips.

Those 25 denials could be people who called and couldn’t schedule a ride for the exact time they wanted, but still used the service, Blatti said. Those rides still get recorded as denials, she said, adding that the dispatch operators will work with riders to find a solution.

Nearly every county outside of Cook and its collar counties has a transportation system, either for itself, with several others or as part of a transportation district.

Illinois has taken strides, Calderon said, in providing access to public transportation throughout the state, and the Greyhound pilot program is a good example of the continued effort. “I would say we’re in better shape than most states,� she said. “I still think we have a ways to go. We have systems in a lot [of counties], but I don’t think they all reach all the riders.�

A black bear was found in a tree June 18 southwest of Mount Morris off Lowell Park Road. A crowd of about 20 people who had been watching the bear today had to be broken up by police.

New law protects bears, cougars and wolves CHICAGO (AP) – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a law adding black bears, cougars and wolves to Illinois’ list of protected species.

All three species still are rare in Illinois, but wildlife officials expect them to become more common and wanted a way to protect them.

There have been sightings of black bears, cougars and wolves in the Sauk Valley in the past 2 years.

Jack Darin is director of the Sierra Club’s Illinois chapter. He says the possible return of

the large predators “is a sign that decades of investment and effort to restore natural habitat in Illinois and the Midwest are paying off.�

The Department of Natural Resources says the law will allow it to manage the animals for protection and public safety.

Wildlife officials say there’s been an uptick in the number of bears, cougars and wolves entering Illinois, mostly from Wisconsin.

The law takes effect on Jan. 1.

He was born June 29, 1917, in Paw Paw, the son of Arthur W. and Alma (Baxter) Schoenholz. He was united in marriage to Bernice Hansen on June 30, 1937, in Rochelle.

Howard served as a Lee County Farm Bureau president, and as a member of the board of directors of the Illinois State Farm Bureau. He also served on the board of directors of Country Companies Insurance.

He was a member of the Order of the Masons, as well as the Elks and Moose lodges. He loved to farm, having farmed in the Paw Paw area his entire life. He worked hard his whole life to provide his family a legacy.

He is survived by three children, Nancy Lari-

Incarceration possible for teen FELONY

CONTINUED FROM A1

Were he being tried as an adult, reckless conduct would carry the minimal felony sentence, 1 to 3 years in prison.

Because he is a juvenile, Osborne faces, among other things, probation or incarceration with the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice, until he turns 21.

Sauk Valley Media is publishing the name of the boy because he is

charged with a felony in an incident involving a death.

The investigation into what happened between the two boys at the Osbornes’ Rock Falls home on that spring day has been a long one, although investigators immediately characterized it as an accident.

The community was hit hard by the tragedy.

Anderson was a wellliked Rock Falls High School freshman and an athlete. In the days following his death, students took to wearing

the school colors – black and green – in his memory.

Black and green flooded community social media pages, too, with users replacing their profile pictures with a black and green image in Anderson’s honor.

A final tweet Anderson sent at the end of January now has a poignant ring to it. “When someone says I love you, appreciate it,� Anderson wrote. “Don’t take it for granted because one day they might not be around anymore to say it.�

Frances M. O’Brien OREGON – Frances Marie O’Brien, 83, of Oregon, passed away peacefully Sunday, Aug. 24, 2014, at Serenity Hospice & Home in Oregon, with her children by her side, after a courageous fight through various illnesses over the past year.

Frances was a loving and cherished wife, mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, sister, and friend. Her family will miss her warm laugh and loving smile.

She was born June 23, 1931, in White Rock Township, the daughter of Harold and Bertha (Todd) Slagle. Frances and her brothers, Harold and Charles, were raised in Oregon. She was a 1949 graduate of Oregon High School. On June 16, 1951, Frances married the love of her life, Roy O’Brien. Their children, Ed, Kathy, Randy, Cindy, Dave, Sandy, and Steve, were their pride and joy.

She cherished time spent with her 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. She proudly displayed photos of each and every child on her living room wall, and always had a story to share about their visits. Frances held several positions in her career days, including working as a secretary at Bryant Buildings, Conover Shoes, and Kable News.

Her talents included creating beautiful quilts, knitting blankets, and hats and scarves, and creating dolls and other crafted items. She and Roy spent many of their days preparing beautiful items for their craft booth at Autumn on Parade.

When she wasn’t crafting for the event, she enjoyed attending with her family. She especially loved spending afternoons sipping coffee with her friends at McDonald’s.

Her grandchildren will surely miss her madefrom-scratch waffles. Her fondest memories included camping trips, many visits to Branson, enjoying rides throughout the Oregon area, and sharing breakfast with family and friends at White Pines. Her motto was: You drive, you buy.

And trust me, she never drove.

Surviving family includes her children, Ed O’Brien, Kathy (Bob) Sipe, Dave O’Brien, Sandy Sullivan, and Steve (Kristin) O’Brien; grandchildren, Kristy Sipe, Jessica (Steve) Stevenson, Jarrett O’Brien, Randy O’Brien, Andrew O’Brien, Roxy (Jeremy) Stienmetz, Jenny (Tim) Thompson, Allison O’Brien, Tommy (Kristal) Hartnett, and Amanda Stockero-O’Brien; and great-grandchildren, Caleb Merriman, Lilliana Carlson, Christopher Smith, Austin Hartnett, Rowan Thompson, Aiden Smith, Jackson Hartnett, Berkely Thompson, Jaryth O’Brien, Addyson Steinmetz, and Liam O’Brien; and brother, Charles (Pat) Slagle.

SYCAMORE

More nests filling back up ‘Boomerangs’ more common, report shows

BY ANDREA AZZO 3HAW -EDIA AAZZO SHAWMEDIA COM

SYCAMORE – Since 21-year-old Jake Olson can’t afford to live on his own as he used to, he has moved back in with his parents in Sycamore.

Olson spent 2 years living in a dormitory and later in an apartment in North Dakota, while studying first at North Dakota State University his freshman year, then at the University of North Dakota his sophomore year.

When his parents moved from North Dakota to Sycamore in January, he packed his bags, too. He is taking online courses in botany at the University of Phoenix while working at Blumen Gardens in Sycamore. “I’m saving money for school, life,� he said. “I’ll move out once I’m back at school this spring, hopefully.�

Olson might become part of a growing trend of boomerang kids – young adults who return to live with their parents after college. The number of people ages 25 to 34 living at home increased to 18.1 percent in 2012, which is double than numbers in 1980, according to a

recent report from the Pew Research Center.

Another Pew report on boomerang kids finds that 78 percent of them do not have enough money to live the kind of life they would like, compared to 55 percent of their same-aged peers who did not live with their parents.

Some current Northern Illinois University students are already planning their future so they don’t end up back home.

Chicago native and NIU freshman Luis Centeno wants to attend law school. While he hasn’t decided his major yet, he said he will get a job in whatever field of study he chooses before he heads to law school.

“I heard law school is competitive,� Centeno said. “Maybe my first year, I won’t get in.�

Lori Olson’s decision to allow her 21-year-old son and 19-year-old daughter, Jenna, to live with her at home wasn’t difficult. She estimated she paid about $5,000 for all of her children’s college tuition this year. Her kids do not pay rent but help around the house with chores and caring for their younger siblings. “I wouldn’t want to be 19 again,� Lori Olson said. “These kids have a lot more pressure.

Expectations were different 30 years ago: When you turned 18 or 19, you moved out.�

Monica Maschak/mmaschak@shawmedia.com

Jenna Olson, 19, and Jake Olson, 21, help prepare dinner Monday at their family’s Sycamore home. The siblings moved back in with their parents when they moved from South Dakota in January, and they plan to take online classes through Kishwaukee College.

“I used to be an electrician, so when I saw the transformer go, I knew the power line was going to fall,� he said. “I can move the power line myself, but ComEd needs to see the damage.�

Jamie Riley, 15, was at home with her sister, Madison, 16, when their large, black and blue trampoline blew across the street. It was destroyed in the storm. “It was in my backyard and, as the storm went on, it rolled though the driveway and it was hooked to the tree across the street,� said Jamie, who lives off 11th Avenue in Sterling, near Jefferson Elementary School.

Jamie got the trampoline as a 14th birthday gift and used to be in tumbling, so she used it to practice. “My friends would also get on it with me sometimes,� Jamie said. “We may get a bigger one, but I don’t know.�

Rock Falls Police Chief Michael Kuelper said several roads were shut down because of downed trees and power lines.

He also estimated about 50 percent of the town was without power hours after the storm. “We had a fire on a branch on top of some power lines,� Kuelper said. “We have no injuries reported, so we are doing good there.�

The high temperature was 86 degrees Monday in Sterling, according to the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities. Tack on the extra moisture in the air, and it felt like it was almost 100 degrees.

The average high temperature for this time of year is 83.

It was so warm, students in local school districts were sent home early. “We had a 2-hour early dismissal,� said Tad Everett, superintendent of the Sterling School District. “We based that information on the NWS extreme heat advisory and because we have air conditioning in five of the six buildings in the school district. The entire high school is not air-conditioned.�

Chicago, south suburbs key to Quinn’s survival But Madigan must spend heavily there to get out vote

Statue rescue a step closer M

omentum is building to begin repair work on the 103-year-old Black Hawk statue near Oregon.

That’s good news for area folks who enjoy the statue’s grandeur, as well as tourists who travel to our region to see the 50-foot-tall concrete monolith perched on a 125-foot bluff overlooking the Rock River at Lowden State Park near Oregon.

A few weeks ago came word that the Illinois Department of Natural Resources had given its OK to the proposed renovation work. The previous week, the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency gave its approval.

Most of the money needed for the project has been raised, according to Frank Rausa of Sterling, a member of

THE READER’S VOICE

Schools need more time with their students BILL FRENCH Dixon

Albert Einstein was quoted as saying, “Mankind’s greatest problem is a perfecting of means and a confusion of ends.�

As a new school year begins, there should be no confusion about what ends the students and teachers are targeting.

Would it not be significant growth in knowledge

and skills for all students?

And the means? Good teachers having enough time with their students for instruction to result in marked improvement in math and reading skills, at least.

Do I know what I’m talking about? You judge. I read “Outliers� by Malcolm Gladwell, Chapter 9 especially. I checked it out from Dixon Public Library.

In it, I read that educational reformers such as Horace Mann “strove for ways to reduce time spent studying, because long periods of respite could

save the mind from injury. Hence the elimination of Saturday classes, the shortening of the school day, and the lengthening of vacation.�

All of this has had prolonged negative consequences for the learning patterns of present-day students.

I also read about research led by the Johns Hopkins University sociologist Karl Alexander.

What Alexander’s work suggests is that the way education is discussed in the U.S. is backward.

An enormous amount

of time is spent talking about reducing class size, rewriting curricula, buying every student a new laptop, and increasing school funding – all of which assumes that there is something fundamentally wrong with the job schools are doing.

But the research shows that schools work. The only problem with school, for the kids who aren’t achieving, is that there isn’t enough of it. Am I right in assuming that this conclusion is known, or at least knowable, to those in the business?

colnway) or Dixon (113 S. Peoria Ave.), read it, and prepare to participate in a community conversation.

Some recent Chicago Tribune poll results appear to indicate that support for raising the minimum wage in the state’s largest city might be enough to increase voter turnout for a non-binding November ballot referendum.

The poll found that 84 percent of registered Chicago voters support a city task force recommendation to increase the minimum wage to $13 an hour over the next 3 years.

According to the poll, 78 percent of whites and 92 percent of African-Americans, and even 71 percent of Chicagoans making more than $100,000 a year, back the plan.

Democrats hope to use the statewide non-binding referendum to raise the minimum wage to $10 an hour as a tool to help spur turnout in what is rapidly developing into a big Republican year.

And with numbers like the Tribune’s backing a much higher minimum wage, it does seem likely that the issue can be effective, particularly among African-Americans.

Support greater than 70 percent is generally seen as having a ballot impact.

Get above 90, and it’s sure to drive votes. Then again, the comparatively “stingy� state ballot proposal, when compared to the Chicago proposal, might garner lesser enthusiasm.

Proponents are hoping to use the issue to persuade 400,000 people to sign “pledge cards� stating they will definitely vote this November. So far, they’ve collected 70,000 cards, which they will use to track the signatories through Election Day. THE BIGGER question, though, is what Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan does with all the money he’s been raising to push the ballot initiative.

Madigan, who is also the state Democratic Party chairman, has been traveling the country to raise cash. Everybody who chipped in to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker in 2012 is being paid a visit.

Labor unions alone spent more than $20 million on that race, and Madigan is telling those labor leaders that they can spend the money now to defeat the anti-union Bruce Rauner, or spend the money later to fight Rauner after he’s elected.

The Republicans are attempting to convince themselves that Madigan will spend that cash on his hottest state legislative races instead of in Chicago and south suburban Cook County, where it would do the most good for the

statewide ticket because of high numbers of AfricanAmericans.

Democrats have often complained in the past that “coordinated campaign� money has been redirected to Madigan’s legislative races, and they’re not sure what he’ll do this year.

MOST ARE FAIRLY certain that Madigan won’t have his candidates run away from the top of the ticket. The speaker tried that in 1994, during a huge Republican wave. Late in the game, photos of Republican Gov. Jim Edgar started appearing in Democratic legislative mailers.

But that backfired in a major way. It just helped Edgar win by a larger margin, which swept away Madigan’s candidates.

Madigan has to do House whatever Speaker he can to Michael boost Gov.

Columnist And none Rich Miller of those allwants to important know. districts are in Chicago or south suburban Cook County.

But it won’t be easy. I’ve seen some private polling results recently that show Quinn doing even worse than expected in suburban counties where Madigan has some other tough races.

And, the other day, a top Democratic strategist derided the Quinn campaign’s attempt to convince Illinoisans that the job and economic situation is starting to turn around as “stupid.� “They’re telling voters not to believe their own lying eyes,� he complained.

Focus groups, he said, are finding that voters “are so mad at the state of things that it insults their intelligence to tell them things are changing, especially in the downstate communities.�

So, keep an eye on Chicago and south suburban Cook “get-out-the-vote� efforts. It’s Quinn’s best hope right now and a likely drain on Madigan’s resources. If he spends lots of cash there, Quinn just might make this thing a close one.

Ring from broken engagement can still shine Dear Abby, I was engaged several years ago, but the engagement didn’t last. We broke up, and I gave him back his ring. We remain close friends, however, and hang out at least once a week.

I have been dating another guy for a couple of years, and we’re thinking about getting engaged. I am wondering if it would be improper to ask my ex if we could buy my old ring from him. It was – and still is – my “dream ring,� and I know my ex has kept it in the glove box of his car ever since I gave it back.

I don’t want to commit a faux pas, but it seems silly to buy an identical ring. – Headed Down The Aisle

2014 ELECTION | GOVERNOR’S RACE

SPRINGFIELD

Christie stumps for Rauner ‘You people in Illinois make New Jersey blush’ CHICAGO (AP) – New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie questioned the motivation behind Illinois’ new same-day voter registration law and the state’s certified ballot as he campaigned for Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner on Monday, the same day Vice President Joe Biden was expected in Chicago.

Christie, chairman of the Republican Governors Association, scrutinized the timing of Illinois’ voter registration measure, which takes effect for the Nov. 4 election, and the State Board of Elections’ recent decision to allow a governor and lieutenant candidate team from the Libertarian Party, but not one from the Green Party, on the ballot. State election

officials said the Green Party didn’t have enough valid signatures, while the Libertarian Party did.

But Christie alleged the moves were attempts to boost votes for Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn. A Libertarian team could siphon conservative votes from Rauner, and Republicans in other states have criticized measures expanding voting over concerns about possible fraud. “You people in Illinois make New Jersey blush,�

Christie said at Rauner’s headquarters. “Every obstacle that can be placed in front of Bruce by the establishment in this state will be placed in front of him. The great news is he’s strong enough to overcome those.�

Rauner is trying to unseat Quinn, who is seeking a second full term in one of the most competitive and expensive races nationwide.

AP

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie speaks with campaign volunteers during a stop Monday at the Chicago headquarters of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner’s campaign. While speaking with the volunteers, the Republican Governors Association chairman said he questions the motivation behind Illinois’ new same-day voter registration recently signed into law by Rauner’s opponent, Gov. Pat Quinn.

EDUCATION & HEALTH

Rx for schools: Later start times?

Pediatricians’ report suggests 8:30 or later CHICAGO (AP) – Pediatricians have a new prescription for schools: later start times for teens.

Delaying the start of the school day until at least 8:30 a.m. would help curb their lack of sleep, which has been linked with poor health, bad grades, car crashes and other problems, the American Academy of Pediatrics says in a new policy.

The influential group says teens are especially at risk; for them, “chronic sleep loss has increasingly become the norm.�

Studies have found that most U.S. students in middle school and high school don’t get the recommended amount of sleep – 8.5 to 9.5 hours on school nights; and that most high school seniors get an average of less than 7 hours.

More than 40 percent of the nation’s public high schools start classes before 8 a.m., according to government data cited in the policy. And even when the buzzer rings at 8 a.m., school bus pickup times typically mean kids have to get up before dawn if they want that ride. “The issue is really cost,� said Kristen Amundson, executive director of the National Association of State Boards of Education.

Quinn vetoes ridesharing rules CHICAGO (AP) – Taxicab companies and others seeking statewide regulation of the emerging ridesharing industry pushed for a legislative override Monday after Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed measures that would have imposed background checks and insurance requirements on some drivers.

In a statement, Quinn said the two bills would have prevented local governments from adopting rules that fit their communities. “I am vetoing this legislation because it would have mandated a one-size-fits-all approach to a service that is best regulated at the local level,� Quinn said.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel applauded the veto, and the City Council has passed an ordinance that will take effect next week imposing restrictions on some of the rideshare companies.

The taxicab industry has said the Chicago ordinance doesn’t go far enough to protect consumers. The industry has lost some drivers to the rideshare business.

Bill sponsor Rep. Mike Zalewski, a Riverside Democrat, said he

was disappointed with Quinn’s veto. Ridesharing services, he said, “stretch across city and county lines and the bills would provide important baseline protections that local governments could build upon.�

The statewide measures would have regulated services provided by drivers who use personal vehicles to provide transportation to the public. Customers use their smartphones to order rides offered through companies such as Uber X, Lyft and Sidecar.

Bruce Rauner, Quinn’s Republican opponent this November, had urged the veto, saying the legislation would hold back tech-driven innovation. “Quinn ended up on the same side as Bruce Rauner and Silicon Valley billionaires, instead of on the side of Illinois consumers,� said Mara Georges, an attorney for the Illinois Transportation Trade Association, which represents taxi companies. “It would have given passengers the security of knowing their driver had passed a criminal background check and their driver had adequate insurance.�

Jan Palmer, a biology teacher at Central High School, leads her Advanced Placement/Rising Scholars biology class through a practice test in March 2012 in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Classes at Central High generally start at 8:10 a.m., but a new policy from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends delaying classes for all teens until at least 8:30 a.m. to curb their widespread lack of sleep, which has been linked with poor health, bad grades, car crashes and other problems.

School buses often make multiple runs each morning for older and younger students. Adding bus drivers and rerouting buses is one of the biggest financial obstacles to later start times, Amundson said. The roughly 80 school districts that have adopted later times tend to be smaller, she said.

After-school sports are another often-cited obstacle because a later dismissal delays practices and games. The shift might also

cut into time for homework and after-school jobs, Amundson said.

The policy, aimed at middle schools and high schools, was published online Monday in the journal Pediatrics.

Evidence on potential dangers for teens who get too little sleep is “extremely compelling� and includes depression, suicidal thoughts, obesity, poor performance in school and on standardized tests and car acci-

dents from drowsy driving, said Dr. Judith Owens, the policy’s lead author and director of sleep medicine at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. The policy cites studies showing that delaying start times can lead to more nighttime sleep and improve students’ motivation in class and mood.

Whether there are broader, long-term benefits requires more research, the policy says.

Bidding helps with the opening lead

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Daniel J. Boorstin, a historian at the University of Chicago who died in 2004, wrote, “The traveler is active; he goes strenuously in search of people, of adventure, of experience. The tourist is passive; he expects interesting things to happen to him.

He goes ‘sight-seeing.’”

At the bridge table, the active defender goes strenuously in search of tricks. The passive defender hopes that tricks will have to be given to him. But how does he know which way to turn?

First, listen closely to the bidding. If the opponents bid aggressively, but stop in game, be active. If they inch up to game, stay passive, almost certainly leading a trump (or from a strong

honor sequence). In today’s deal, what should West lead against four hearts?

Note that North is right to respond one diamond. With a good hand, responder bids

his longest suit first. North’s four-club rebid is a splinter, showing four-card heart support, at least game-going values and a singleton or void in clubs. (If South has very weak clubs, a slam is a distinct possibility.)

Since North has made a slam suggestion, West should lead actively, selecting the spade two, not a passive trump or diamond queen (especially as dummy rates to have at least five diamonds).

Leading low from length guarantees an honor in that suit. So East should know that he can take dummy’s spade nine with his jack, cash the spade ace, and lead a third round to his partner’s king. Then East will gain a trump trick for down one.

After a red-suit lead, South can win 11 tricks – quite a difference. © 2014 UFS

CALIFORNIA EARTHQUAKE

COMBATTING TERRORISM

Syria: No unilateral strikes Warns U.S., but says it will help to fight militants AP

Michael Peck poses for a photo Aug. 1 at his home in Ooltewah, Tennessee. Peck, who for 5 years was Diablo Canyon’s lead on-site inspector, said in a 42-page, confidential report that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is not applying the safety rules it set out for the plant’s operation.

Expert calling for nuke plant closure Says regulators are not applying own safety rules LOS ANGELES (AP) – A senior federal nuclear expert is urging regulators to shut down California’s last operating nuclear plant until they can determine whether the facility’s twin reactors can withstand powerful shaking from any one of several nearby earthquake faults.

Michael Peck, who for 5 years was Diablo Canyon’s lead on-site inspector, says in a 42-page, confidential report that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is not applying the safety rules it set out for the plant’s operation.

The document, which was obtained and verified by The Associated Press, does not say the plant itself is unsafe.

Instead, according to Peck’s analysis, no one knows whether the facility’s key equipment can withstand strong shaking from those faults – the potential for which was realized decades after the facility was built.

Continuing to run the reactors, Peck writes, “challenges the presumption of nuclear safety.�

Peck’s July 2013 filing is part of an agency review in which employees can appeal a supervisor’s or agency ruling – a process that normally takes 60 to 120 days, but can be extended. The NRC, however, has not yet ruled.

Spokeswoman Lara Uselding said in emails that the agency would have no comment on the document.

Back to school?

The NRC, which oversees the nation’s commercial nuclear power industry, and Diablo Canyon owner Pacific Gas and Electric Co., say the nearly threedecade-old reactors, which produce enough electricity for more than 3 million people annually, are safe and that the facility complies with its operating license, including earthquake safety standards.

PG&E spokesman Blair Jones said the NRC has exhaustively analyzed earthquake threats for Diablo Canyon and demonstrated that it “is seismically safe.� Jones said in an email that the core issue involving earthquake ground motions was resolved in the late 1970s with seismic retrofitting of the plant.

The disaster preparedness of the world’s nuclear plants came into sharp focus in 2011, when the coastal Fukushima Dai-ichi plant in Japan suffered multiple meltdowns after an earthquake and tsunami destroyed its power and cooling systems. The magnitude-9 earthquake was far larger than had been believed possible. The NRC has since directed U.S. nuclear plants to reevaluate seismic risks, and those studies are due by March 2015.

The importance of such an analysis came into sharp focus on Sunday when a magnitude 6.0-earthquake struck in Northern California’s wine country, injuring scores of residents, knocking out power to thousands and toppling wine bottles at vineyards.

group’s rampage across wide swaths of Iraq, declaration of a state governed by their harsh interpretation of Islamic law in territory spanning the Iraq-Syria border, and grisly beheading of an American journalist, have injected a new dynamic into those calculations. Now, Obama faces pressure from his own military leaders to go after the extremists inside Syria.

On Monday, a senior administration official said Obama authorized surveillance flights over Syria, a move that could pave the way for U.S. airstrikes. The official who confirmed the decision

was not authorized to discuss Obama’s decision publicly by name, and insisted on anonymity.

Speaking in Damascus, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem appeared acutely aware of how much has changed since last August, when the United States was threatening to carry out punitive airstrikes against Assad’s government in the wake of the chemical attack.

Since then, global disapproval has shifted away from Assad and toward the Islamic extremists who are fighting him and spreading destruction across Syria and Iraq.

TELEVISION EMMY AWARDS

‘Breaking Bad,’ ‘Modern Family’ reign LOS ANGELES (AP) – “Modern Family� and “Breaking Bad� triumphed at Monday’s Emmy Awards, proving that established broadcast and cable series retain the power to fend off challenges from upstart online series like “Orange Is the New Black.�

The ceremony’s emotional high point came with Billy Crystal’s restrained and graceful remembrance of Robin Williams, who died Aug. 11 by suicide. “He made us laugh.

Hard. Every time you saw him,� Crystal said of Williams at the conclusion of a tribute to industry members who died within the past 12 months. “Robin Williams, what a concept.�

ABC’s “Modern Family� won a fifth best comedy series Emmy, tying the record set by “Frasier,� while the final season of AMC’s “Breaking Bad� captured the top drama award and a trio of acting honors for its stars.

Netflix’s freshman “Orange Is the New Black,� which competed for best comedy series despite its dark prison setting, failed to sway Emmy voters, as did Netflix’s sophomore series “House of Cards.�

Bryan Cranston was honored as best actor in a drama for “Breaking Bad,� proving that “True Detective� nominee Matthew McConaughey’s movie-star appeal couldn’t conquer all.

“I have gratitude for everything that has happened,� Cranston said.

His victory ties him with four-time best drama actor champ Dennis Franz. Cranston’s costars Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn were honored in categories for best drama supporting acting. “Thank you for this wonderful farewell to our show,� “Breaking Bad� creator Vince Gilligan said of the series about a teacher-turned-drug kingpin that ended with a bang.

A broadcast win was scored by ABC’s “The Good Wife� star Julianna Margulies, honored

as best lead actress in a drama series. “What a wonderful time for women on television,�

Margulies said.

McConaughey was the object of too-handsome jokes by presenter Jimmy Kimmel and adoration by winner Gail Mancuso, honored as best director for an episode of “Modern Family.� It was one of the better gags of the night. “If you don’t mind, Matthew McConaughey, I’m gonna make eye contact with you right now,� she said from the stage, making good by holding the actor’s gaze for much of her speech.

Aaron Paul accepts the award for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series for his work on “Breaking Bad� on Monday in Los Angeles.

BEIRUT (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Syria said Monday it was ready to help confront the rising threat from the Islamic State group, but warned the United States against carrying out airstrikes without Damascusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; consent, saying any such attack would be considered an aggression.

In seeking to portray itself as a partner for the international community, Syria seemed intent on capitalizing on the growing clamor among some

U.S. officials, including military leaders, to expand the current American air campaign against the Islamic extremists in Iraq and to hit them in Syria as well.

President Barack Obama has long been wary of getting dragged into the bloody and complex Syrian civil war that the United Nations says has killed more than 190,000 people. He has resisted intervening militarily in the conflict, even after a deadly chemical weapons attack a year ago that Washington blamed on President Bashar Assadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government.

UNREST IN FERGUSON, MISSOURI

Emotions swell at service in St. Louis Celebrities, civil rights leaders at Brown funeral ST.

But the funeral that unfolded Monday was about much more than the black 18-year-old who lay in the closed casket after being shot to death by a white police officer.

Bears hand Clausen ball, clipboard Palmer’s release secures position

BY ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com

LAKE FOREST – For all of the offensive uncertainty regarding backup battles at running back and receiver, the Bears confirmed Sunday what we’ve expected to hear since early in training camp – Jimmy Clausen will be the No. 2 quarterback behind Jay Cutler.

Clausen’s arrival in early June, after the Bears had held three of five offseason training activities, was the first sign they weren’t set on then-No. 2 Jordan Palmer, part of the club’s first wave of cuts Sunday.

The former Notre Dame standout and second-round pick by the Carolina Panthers in 2010, Clausen’s edge over Palmer in terms of physical tools was evident from the first time he stepped on the practice field. His passes had more accuracy and zip, and his footwork and mobility in the pocket were much smoother.

Jimmy Clausen is the Bears’ No. 2 quarterback after Chicago released Jordan Palmer on Sunday. Clausen impressed coaches by learning the playbook so quickly during the preseason.

Meghan Clodfelter is known to some people as “Fiona,” the princess from Shrek she once portrayed in community theater.

She’s known to others as “Kala,” Tarzan’s ape mother she played in a Sterling High School musical this past spring.

Come next spring, she’d like to add another title, “Hereford Hog Queen,” to her resume.

On a recent steamy afternoon at Kilgore Park, however, the title she coveted was “regular in the Sterling Golden Warrior girls tennis lineup.”

Clodfelter learned the game as a freshman, played fresh-soph doubles as a sophomore, and competed at the JV level

“I certainly have been working very hard to get up to where I can be playing,” Clodfelter said.

Sterling coach Kelly Reynolds noted

Clodfelter is right in the mix in what figures to be a balanced lineup.

“She started playing her freshman year,” Reynolds said, “and the strides she’s made in 4 years have been unbelievable.

She works as hard at tennis as she does in everything else in her life. She’s right there. We’ve got 10 or 12 players that could easily squeak into that top eight, and she’s one of them, for sure.”

Tennis, however, is hardly what defines the bubbly Clodfelter.

She’s a top student at Sterling, ranked ninth in her senior class. She’s co-president of the National Honor Society. She’s in the Key Club, of which she served as secretary as a junior. She’s a past president and vice-president of 4H. SWINE CONTINUED ON B3

Hanging on to top spot Brewers continue to fend off surging Cardinals

MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers keep finding ways to stay atop the National League Central.

Milwaukee has been alone or tied for first since April 5, but it’s been a high-wire act atop the division, especially since July 1.

The latest brush with second came Sunday, when Milwaukee entered the day with a halfgame lead over St. Louis and went home that night with a 1 1/2-game cushion following another nice outing by fill-in starter Mike Fiers, and a Cardi-

Call it a coincidence, Scooter Gennett said. For the second baseman, it’s more about Milwaukee proving to be a good team over the long haul.

“I think it’s just a coincidence.

It’s just, you know, playing hard,” Gennett said after get-

PARAMUS, N.J. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tiger Woods is leaving swing coach Sean Foley after 4 years and no majors.

Woods said on his website Monday he will no longer work with Foley, the Canadian whom he hired when his game was at its low point, following the upheaval with his marriage. The announcement came 1 day after another Foley pupil, Hunter Mahan, won The Barclays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank Sean for his help as my coach and for his friendship,â&#x20AC;? Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sean is one of the outstanding coaches in golf today, and I know he will continue to be successful with the players working with him.â&#x20AC;?

Woods has been coping with back problems for more than a year. He had surgery March 31 to alleviate a pinched nerve, forcing him to miss two majors during his 3 months of recovery. He missed two cuts, withdrew from another tournament and had his worst 72-hole finish in a major after returning.

He is taking 3 months off in a bid to regain his full strength, and said this would be the right time to dismiss Foley. Woods is not scheduled to play again until the first

week in December. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My time spent with Tiger is one of the highlights of my career so far, and I am appreciative of the many experiences we shared together,â&#x20AC;? Foley said in a statement posted on Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; website.

Foley was the third coach Woods hired as a professional.

Woods began working with Butch Harmon as a teenager, and they changed his swing twice. The biggest overhaul was after Woods won the Masters by 12 shots. Many believe the new swing produced Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most dominant golf, though he also was in his early 20s and had not had serious issues with his knee.

Woods won eight majors while with Harmon, including seven in 11 attempts, and an unprecedented sweep of them in 2000-01.

They parted in 2003.

Woods went to Hank Haney and produced another memo-

rable stretch with an entirely different swing. In a 2-year period covering 34 tournaments, Woods won 18 times (including four majors) and was runner-up six times. That ended with the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines, right before his fourth and most invasive knee surgery.

That was his 14th major, and Woods has not won another since. He remains four short off the record held by Jack Nicklaus.

Haney announced in May he was leaving Woods. Woods went through most of 2010 without a coach, until hooking up with Foley for the first time at the PGA Championship in 2010 at Whistling Straits.

Woods won three times on the PGA Tour in 2012, and then delivered a five-win season in 2013 when he returned to No. 1. But he rarely challenged in the majors.

He missed two majors in 2011 while letting leg injuries fully heal.

Woods had a share of the 36-hole lead in the U.S. Open and PGA Championship in 2012, but he was not a factor on Sunday. He was two shots off the lead going into the final round of the 2013 British Open and fell back quickly.

He missed two more majors this year because of injury.

group had been very near the epicenter.

Other drivers, such as eventual race winner Scott Dixon, slept through the shaking totally oblivious of the earthquake.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Powerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s luck, though, and long before the race even went green, many began to snicker that the earthquake had been Mother Natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way of denying the hard-luck driver yet another championship. He thought he was going to die at 3:20 a.m., there was no way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be focused to race 8 hours later.

Somehow, he pulled it off and he was ready to go. He was cool and in control as he started from the pole and seemed to be out for an easy Sunday drive, in a race that should have sealed that elusive first championship.

Only this is Will Power, and it never goes easy.

After leading a race-

high 33 laps, he spun on cold tires in traffic and ruined what could have been an easy victory. It forced him to fight for a 10th-place finish, and left the door open for Castroneves to snatch the title away in Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finale in Fontana, California.

Power was surprisingly able to laugh about it Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Best drive I ever had,â&#x20AC;? he said with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could have been a lot worse, I guess. We maintained the points lead, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to Fontana.â&#x20AC;?

With a 51-point lead in the standings, the championship is technically his for the taking.

But he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take this for granted.

The finale is worth double points, and Castroneves is an outstanding oval racer. In a similar position a year ago, Castroneves fought to the finish with Dixon in refusing to concede the championship.

Clodfelter is also heavily involved in the arts, and says the theater is where all her best friends come from.

Two summers ago, she played Fiona in a Sterling Community Theater production of Shrek â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a high school sophomore at the time working with adults, college students and other high schoolers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every time Kelly [Reynolds] sees me, she calls me Fiona,â&#x20AC;? Clodfelter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ever going to live that down, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really mind that.â&#x20AC;?

In the SHS production of Tarzan, she played one of the leads, Kala, an experience she described as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;insane amount of fun.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The costumes and makeup were very crazy for that production,â&#x20AC;?

Clodfelter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because we were all apes, in an ape tribe.â&#x20AC;?

Her tentative plan for college is to attend Illinois and major in landscape architecture. Her career goal is to be an imagineer, working for the Walt Disney Company and designing theme parks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh my God, can you imagine that,â&#x20AC;? Clodfelter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That would be so much fun.â&#x20AC;?

Clodfelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roots, however, are at the family farmette, located between Sterling and Milledgeville. They live on 14 acres, most of which they use to grow hay, to feed 12 show pigs and two show cattle currently on the property.

Clodfelter and her brother, Mitchell, a Sterling freshman, each showed six animals at four different fairs this summer. In 2011, they earned grand and reserve champion honors in the Poland China Barrow Division at the Illinois State Fair. The animals they show average about 280 pounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With hog showing, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for basically definition in their body,â&#x20AC;? Clodfelter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They like to see heavy muscle, with a fair amount of fat coverage.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the stereotypical good hog looks like.â&#x20AC;?

At the Illinois State Fair held earlier this month, Clodfelter submitted an application and essay expressing her desire to be the Hereford Hog Queen. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find out next spring if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been selected.

The queen title includes a tiara and sash, but her main job will be to hand out ribbons at the state fair, travel to county fairs, meet people, and talk about hogs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that would be a wonderful thing to do,â&#x20AC;?

Clodfelter said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I always like telling people about how it is on the agricultural side of things.

Not many people know about that.â&#x20AC;?

When the hog-showing competition is done, Clodfelter noted the family may keep a few gilts, if they think they will make good mothers, but most of the animals will be shipped off to market.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something she copes with. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is kind of tough,â&#x20AC;?

Clodfelter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They become puppy dogs to us. They have such exuberant personalities that you just grow attached to them. As a farm kid, you just learn thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how things work. You do get attached to them, but you do know thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what has to happen.â&#x20AC;?

Andy Murray fought full-body cramps as much as he did his opponent, Robin Haase, Monday during the first round of the U.S. Open in New York. Murray won in four sets.

Cramping his style

Murray fends off extreme discomfort to survive first round

BY RACHEL COHEN AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Spinning in 70 mph second serves, grabbing at his hamstring during points, Andy Murray gritted his way through head-to-toe cramps to win at the U.S. Open.

Murray outlasted Robin Haase 6-3, 7-6 (6), 1-6, 7-5 in the first round Monday during an afternoon that was hot, but not particularly humid.

He was mystified that the cramps came on so early â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at the start of the third set after only about an hour and a half on court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When it starts to kind of go everywhere, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know exactly where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to creep up next,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you stretch one muscle, something else then cramps, too.â&#x20AC;?

It started in the back of his left shoulder, and then quickly spread to his forearm. The righthanded Murray couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss the ball high enough to get any pace on his serves.

Numbers game

by Nick Kyrgios in his victory over No. 21 Mikhail Youzhny, one short of disqualification.

Between points, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d twist his body to awkwardly stretch his left side. After hitting a winner, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d reach for his quad.

Murray was twice down a break in the fourth set, but the 70thranked Haase unraveled with a string of unforced errors. He wasted three break points in the final game, when a missed call also cost him.

The eighth-seeded Murray had felt confident in his conditioning, after productive training sessions in Miami, where he weathered far more heat and humidity than this. He wondered if something was amiss in his nutrition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cramping in my left forearm?â&#x20AC;? a bewildered

Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use my left forearm a whole lot today.â&#x20AC;?

Haase, also bothered by some cramping, said he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat and drink enough beforehand because of an earlierthan-expected start â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first match on Louis Armstrong Stadium lasted just 47 minutes. But Murray said dehydration didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be his problem.

Serving for the fourth set at 5-3, Haase doublefaulted on break point to allow Murray to get back on serve. Murray then went up 6-5 when he took Haaseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second serve high and whacked a forehand winner.

With Murray trying to serve out the match, Haase smacked a deep return on his second break point that might have set him up to win the game. But the ball was called out, and after it was overturned on review, they had to replay the point. This time, Haase hit a volley into the net.

Murray is notorious for

suddenly clutching at an ailment after a poorly played point. On this day, though, the misery was clearly real. The two-time major champion went after winners to shorten points, tried to stay upright to keep the strain off his legs. It was just enough to eke out the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think if it would have gone to five sets I wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been the favorite,â&#x20AC;? Murray said.

Three years ago, he and Haase did go five in New York, with Murray rallying from a two-set deficit to win in the second round.

After Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss, Haase planned to complain to the ATP that he was denied treatment during the match for a sore foot. But the Dutchman insisted he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t distracted by Murrayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shows of discomfort. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was more busy with myself, and I was struggling myself,â&#x20AC;? Haase said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I tried to play my game. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bother me what he did.â&#x20AC;?

Trestman impressed by backup QBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resiliency CLAUSEN

CONTINUED FROM B1

One of the few questions Clausen needed to answer was how quickly heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d grasp the offense.

Coach Marc Trestman reiterated Monday that Clausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attention to detail and strong work ethic to quickly grasp the playbook impressed him. Trestman pointed

to not only Clausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth and experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at 26, Clausen is 4 years younger than Palmer, and has started 13 NFL games compared to none by Palmer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the way he handled adversity early in his career as positives, convinced Trestman that Clausen was the right choice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the upside for Jimmy, his age, his experience, and he

came highly recommended from some people I trust in Carolina,â&#x20AC;? said Trestman of the key factors in making his decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His ability to handle the adversity that he had in his first year, his leadership qualities. He stood up tall through a lot of tough times in Carolina, and gained the respect of his teammates and the team there with the way he handled himself

in a very, very difficult year.â&#x20AC;?

One of those teammates, tight end Dante Rosario, agreed with Trestmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assessment.

He noted not only Clausenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growth as a passer, but his football character and mental strength after a lot of the blame for a 2-14 season was levied in his direction, as reasons he has so much respect for Clausen.

Jay sparks Cardinals past Bucs Reserve OF provides game-tying hit, game-winning run By the Associated Press

Jon Jay already had a bat in hand before St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny even called his name.

A minute later, the veteran outfielder was standing on second base after his pinch hit tied the game. Jay didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay there long, racing home with the go-ahead run on Matt Hollidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sharp single in a 3-2 victory over the Pirates on Monday night in Pittsburgh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just sensed,â&#x20AC;?

the game.â&#x20AC;?

And the Cardinals know a thing or two about coming through late. St. Louis scored all three runs off reliever Jared Hughes (6-4) with two outs in the seventh inning to back John Lackey, and send the scuffling Pirates to their seventh loss in 10 games.

Lackey (2-1) worked out of trouble early to last seven innings in his second victory for the Cardinals after arriving in a trade from Boston on July 31.

Trevor Rosenthal gave up a leadoff home run in the ninth to Andrew McCutchen, but held on to earn his 39th save.

Pedro Alvarez hit his 18th homer in the second off Lackey, but the Pirates managed little after that to fall further behind St. Louis and first-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.

Pirates starter Francisco Liriano overwhelmed St. Louis for six-plus innings, before leaving after Kolten Wongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infield single led off the seventh.

Pitching consistent for surprising Brewers SPOT

After falling seven back, Pittsburghâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit was back to five going into an important three-game series with St. Louis starting Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right where we need to be,â&#x20AC;? Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen.

Some things to watch in what should be a competitive final 5 weeks in the NL Central: Brewers pitching: Fiers is 4-0 with a 1.29 ERA since stepping into the rotation for the injured Matt Garza, including 32 strikeouts in 28 innings.

Garza had what manager Ron Roenicke termed as a good bullpen session Sunday, and he is expected to get more extensive bullpen work Tuesday as he works his way back from a strained muscle in his rib cage.

Lohse was returning to the rotation Monday to start the Padres series after being sidelined since Aug. 13 with a right ankle injury.

Roenicke, for now, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thinking about what will happen in the rotation once Garza is ready to return. The veteran could return in early September, when rosters would

road. But manager Clint Hurdle likes how his team responded from a season-high seven-game losing streak by beating the Braves before taking two from Milwaukee.

Since losing 11-3 to Atlanta on Aug. 19, Pirates pitching held opponents to no more than three runs in the next three games.

Pedro Alvarez, who recently moved to first, had two homers Saturday. They were his first home runs since July 11. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of things that we had highlighted coming AP in needing to improve Brewers starting pitcher Mike Fiers has gone 4-0 upon, we did,â&#x20AC;?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Conflicts with authority figures should be avoided. You can promote your ideas with confidence, but don’t force your opinion on others. Use intelligence and mindfulness to get your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- It’s time to introduce some passion and pizzazz into your personal life. Plan to spend an exhilarating evening with the person you enjoy being with most.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Someone is withholding information from

you. Take precautions to prevent a broken promise from becoming costly. You are best to avoid joint ventures. Go it alone or opt out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others will fall under your spell today. Take this opportunity to market your abilities and ideas. The support you gain will help you formulate your next move.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Residential improvements or renovations can result in an unexpected financial gain. Your sense of satisfaction and your comfort level will improve, along with your standard of living.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Compromise will be the order of the day. Rather than invest time and energy in a battle of wills, agree to disagree for the sake of harmony.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your intuition will lead to a life-changing business venture.

Demonstrate your talents to as many interested parties as you can, and a window of opportunity will open.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be surprised

at the information you discover by merely observing what other people do or say. Studying the way people interact can give you insight into your own behavior.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Don’t assume you know what is best for everyone. There is bound to be a clashing of wills if you try to decree what others should or should not do.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Consider everything you are currently doing, and pinpoint what’s most important to you. Revisiting an old goal or partnership can bring new light to an old situation. It’s time to prioritize and make amends.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -A conservative approach to a moneymaking venture will turn out in your favor. If you want to climb the ladder of success, you have to do it one step at a time.

Be patient.
