‘It’s just a mess’ Most power restored as crews clean up well, like twigs, and cut the electrical power to more than 10,000 ComEd customers.

Tuesday evening, 282 customers in Whiteside County and five in Lee County were without power, ComEd spokesman Paul Callighan said.

“We will work into the night to get power restored to those customers,” Callighan said.

ROCHELLE – It’s OK to scream.

That was just one tip Dorothy Morris received Sunday before jumping out of a plane over Rochelle at 14,000 feet.

Turns out the 91-year-old greatgrandmother didn’t need it, anyway.

“I forgot to scream,” she said.

“I was too busy looking around.

I think I wanted to, but it was so thrilling I forgot.”

The Mount Morris resident described her jump shortly after landing with her tandem skydiving instructor, Paul Piccolo.

Surrounded by nearly 50 family members and friends on a hot and humid afternoon, Morris jumped with Piccolo at the Chicagoland Skydiving Center in Rochelle.

DIXON – The City Council is expected to vote Tuesday on using some of the Crundwell recovery money to repair Dixon Public Library.

The library approached the council last month and asked for a $1.2 million loan, to be paid back in $100,000 payments over 12 years. The money will be used to repair the roof, boiler and windows, and possibly remove asbestos, among other needs.

Instead, the council will vote on authorizing the use of up to $1.2 million of the Jim remaining Burke recovery funds Dixon mayor to pay for the says of using repairs, esti- recovery funds, mated to cost “When you get a b o u t $ 1 . 5 down to it, it’s all million, city city business and officials say. city funds.”

The library will add about $300,000 it has collected through gifts to the library for the work.

About a year ago, the city received the bulk of $39.2 million from the settlement with its former auditors and bank and the sale of former Comptroller Rita Crundwell’s assets.

EXT

STERLING – A project budget is being studied by a prospective donor for a proposed dog park.

The anonymous backer contacted Michelle Anderson earlier this month through the Sterling Bark Park’s FundRazr website campaign. Anderson is a member of the Bark Park committee and has maintained the site.

Sterling Park District Executive Director Larry Schuldt was asked to provide the project budget, which Anderson said the donor has had for a couple weeks.

Schuldt’s budget comes in at $300,000, with $10,000 projected for annual upkeep and utilities. Fencing, at $60,000, is the most costly line item.

Schuldt said his budget includes all the bell and whistles, including a dog wash station, agility course, pavilion and pond construction. “You could safely say they we could do a dog park with this amount,�

Schuldt said. “This is the Taj Mahal of dog parks.�

While there is some wiggle room in the bud-

get, Schuldt said he would rather see more than just a fenced-in area. “The fence-and-done option is not in the best interests of the park district,� Schuldt said. “Obviously, we need the fence first, but the rest can be done over a long period of time.�

The site at the center of conversation is in the underused back portion of Thomas Park along Lynn Boulevard. Schuldt said the dog park could use anywhere from one-third to half

the park, which is about 5 acres.

No park district money would be used for the project, but the land would be donated if the Thomas Park site is approved by the park board.

Schuldt said board members have received regular updates on the dog park project, but it was decided they would talk specifics when a check was in hand. “From the board’s perspective, this wasn’t really on their radar, but with prospects for a donor, now there’s a beep,� he said.

Project supporters first started pursuing the idea of a dog park 2 years ago, but have had a difficult time raising money. After looking at the budget, the donor is still interested in paying for all or part of the dog park, but first wants to gauge community support at the next fundraiser on Sept. 13. “They want to see if the community is going to get behind the project and support it,� Anderson said.

The Bark Park organizers also had planned to raise $10,000 – even if a big check comes their way. They have a little more than $5,000 now. “We initially were hoping to raise $10,000 just from this fundraiser,�

Anderson said. “We want to hold up our part of the bargain.�

Hundreds of trees damaged MESS

CONTINUED FROM A1

According to Tim Gross, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in the Quad Cities, the line of storms moving through the area had one particularly bad boy, a bruiser that raged through Morrison around 2:15 p.m. and intensified as it came kicking and screaming through the Sterling-Rock Falls area about 25 mph.

It came on quickly – the weather service issued a severe weather warning for Whiteside at 2:57 p.m. – then gradually ended its tantrum as it moved on into Lee County, losing steam around 3:30 p.m.

The Whiteside County Airport reported a steady wind of 32 mph, with gusts up to 52 mph, but that might not tell the whole story, Gross said.

This particular storm illustrated a weather phenomenon called precipitation loading: There was so much moisture in the air that when the storm came, it started pushing down the rain. That displaces the air, spreads it out and makes wind speeds even higher, he said.

Precipitation loading means microbursts, and microbursts are tree-killers.

Rock Falls can testify to that. “This was one one of the worst wind-damage storms we’ve had in years around here,� Mayor Bill Wescott said Tuesday morning.

He couldn’t begin to estimate how many trees were damaged or down, but did say city crews worked Monday afternoon and all through the night to clean up the worst of the debris and to restore power to the 50 percent of customers who lost their city service.

As of Tuesday morning, 100 to 200 customers still were without power, and although city workers went home to catch some shut-eye, Princeton crews were in town providing mutual aid, working to get Rock Falls electrical service fully restored, he said.

Water and sewer department workers also were working to make sure streets were open, Wescott said.

The Bi-County Special Education Cooperative Board of Control unanimously approved a balanced budget for the 2014-15 school year. The $5.3 million budget is $907,553 less than last school year.

Much of the spending cuts will come from attrition. The Sterling School District recently pulled its prekindergarten program from Bi-County, knocking off $424,438.

Burke: Using recovery funds simpler FIXES

CONTINUED FROM A1

Crundwell was arrested in 2012 for stealing nearly $54 million from the city over 2 decades.

With the recovery money, the city has paid off some of its debt and placed money into reserves. It also used $1 million for the River Street sewer project, leaving about $11 million.

When the library approached the city in July about helping with the repairs, it was originally proposed that the money be transferred as

a loan and then “repaid� to the city with a proposed increase in the library’s share of the city tax rate and a decrease in the general fund’s share.

Because the library’s tax levy is administered through the city, Dixon would have been, in essence, lending money to itself and the taxpayers would have seen no increase.

Mayor Jim Burke said the using the recovery funds just is simpler. “We looked at different alternatives, and we decided that the easiest thing to do was to pay it out of the recovery

funds and be done with it,� he said. “When you get down to it, it’s all city business and city funds.�

Commissioner Dennis Considine agreed, and added that spending the money on long overdue repairs to the library was a good use.

In the past 4 years, the library has repaired gutters and fixed drainage issues, Library Board member Glen Hughes said at the July council meeting.

The work was done in an effort to “BandAid and patch ongoing deferred maintenance problems,� he said at the time.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

Board correct to spend more for audit work What we think A forensic audit into Ogle County’s administrative tow fund will continue, after the county board approved additional funding.

Board members made the right choice.

A

uditors who have been looking into Ogle County’s controversial administrative tow fund apparently have a bigger job on their hands than anticipated.

In May, the Ogle County Board voted to pay $7,500 to Sikich LLP, a Naperville-based accounting and consulting firm, to perform a forensic audit of the fund. That fund had been under the exclusive control of Sheriff Michael Harn between October 2011 and February of this year, when board members voted to rein in Harn’s spending authority.

The fund was a repository for administrative tow fees that the board created in October 2011, when members OK’d a new $350 fee charged to motorists whose encounters with sheriff’s deputies led to the towing of their vehicles. The fund took in $210,400 in its first 2 years, but about $70,000 of that came from sources other than tow fees.

Harn’s spending of tow fund money was reported in a series of Sauk Valley Media stories starting in December, including “Off the budget, little oversight; Sheriff’s fund used for wide range of expenses.�

That spending included $22,947 for a 2013 Dodge pickup truck, $5,437 for “foldable frisbees� and other handout items, $4,000 to Bob Coine to run the sheriff’s department’s Facebook page, $700 for a tent at the Ogle County Fair, and $170 for flowers for Secretaries Day. At last Tuesday’s Ogle County Board meeting, Kim Gouker, chairman, supported Sikich’s

request for additional money, up to $7,500, to complete the audit.

Gouker said the auditors told him the records were “quite disorganized,� which has made their work more difficult than anticipated. “Examinations like this are like peeling off an onion,� Gouker said. “There are different layers.�

Several board members balked at the additional expense, but the board, by a 19-3 vote, approved it.

As board member Martin Typer said, “We owe it to the people we represent to find out what happened.�

Indeed.

By shouldering its financial oversight authority, the board is making up for lost time from January and February, when calls for a forensic audit were brushed aside in advance of the March 18 primary, when Harn, facing two opponents, lost his GOP renomination bid.

The board’s vote came on the same day that ground was officially broken for the new Ogle County Sheriff’s Administration building in Oregon. Its cost is estimated at $4.1 million.

By comparison, spending an additional $7,500 to find out what went on in the administrative tow fund is a drop in the bucket.

We do not know what the auditors will eventually find.

We do suspect that county board members will now think twice before they create any additional new funds and grant elected officials total discretion on how taxpayers’ money will be spent.

Great debate about debates Naturally, both Quinn, Rauner disagree over number, format The great debate over debates is becoming as ubiquitous in political campaigns as the debates themselves.

The debate involves one candidate, usually the underdog, challenging his or her opponent to a series of debates.

Generally, the number of debates demanded goes up the more obscure the candidate is or the further behind.

The opponent will try to minimize the number to minimize the chances of a gaffe. And then the argument ensues about who is ducking whom and why.

Gov. Pat Quinn’s campaign said he accepted invitations to eight debates, and his campaign quickly charged that Republican challenger Bruce Rauner was dodging debates because he hadn’t agreed to the same appearances.

Last week, Rauner agreed to eight debates or forums, only not the same ones as Quinn’s.

Moreover, Quinn’s people said, some of Rauner’s agreed-to “debates� are either closed to the public or aren’t debates in the sense of a face-to-face meeting.

dougFINKE Doug Finke’s column is syndicated

by GateHouse News Service.

Contact him at doug. finke@sj-r. com.

By the way, Quinn’s list of debates is now up to 11. As a reference, in 2012, there were three debates between the two men vying to be leader of the free world.

"UCKET LIST Quinn last weekend took the ALS Association Ice Bucket Challenge.

That’s where you donate money to fight Lou Gehrig’s disease and get doused with a bucket of ice water. The Quinn people posted a YouTube video documenting the occasion.

It was interesting, to say the least. Not only did Quinn appear in the video, but so did a dozen Quinn supporters, all of them fairly young looking and decked out in “Quinn for Illinois� T-shirts and shorts. Quinn appeared in a dress shirt and slacks.

Quinn delivered some short remarks about the importance of ALS research and then took the challenge. Almost nonchalantly he picked up the bucket from the ground, lifted it over his head and doused himself

with the water. The way he did it, you’d think getting doused with water was a regular occurrence in the governor’s office.

Quinn also didn’t display any ill effects from an ice-cold water bath.

Meanwhile, most of his campaign supporters, after dumping their own buckets of water on their heads, were hopping around, shivering, and making various noises you’d expect from someone suddenly hit with icecold water.

Since this is Illinois and the middle of a campaign season, we have to assume the worst. Was the fix in? Was Quinn’s water really frigid, or did they slip some nice, lukewarm tap water into his bucket?

As with many campaign issues, the answer is less important than the speculation.

2OUGH WEEK It was not the best week for Quinn or Rauner.

Rauner didn’t get his referendum on a term limits amendment on the ballot, although he can still use that as a campaign issue right through the fall.

Meanwhile, an inspector general’s report didn’t directly blame Quinn for illegal hiring at the Illinois Department of Transportation.

But then former IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider said most of the illegal hires were referred to the

department by the governor’s office, and she didn’t feel she was in a position to then reject them. Ouch.

All in all, here’s betting that Rauner would rather have his week than Quinn’s.

MORRISON

OGLE COUNTY

City Council approves policy that will allow electronic attendance

Motorcycle crash victim improving

Not present, but still at meeting

BY PAM EGGEMEIER PEGGEMEIER SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

MORRISON – Council members don’t plan to use it anytime soon, but they now have a policy for attending meetings by telephone, video or online.

A state statute has been on the books since 2007 that governs electronic attendance. It also calls for public bodies to adopt a policy before using such an option. The council did that Monday by unanimous vote.

Morrison officials said there were no particular circumstances that drove the decision. “We aren’t planning this to address any particular need,� Mayor Everett Pannier said. “It just creates an ordinance that will let us do it if we needed to later.�

The state statue limits use of the electronic option. To hook up to a meeting electronically, one of three reasons for not attending physically must apply: illness or personal disability; employment reasons or

conducting business for the city; a family or other emergency.

The city is responsible for making sure adequate equipment is available for an off-site council member, who must notify the city clerk at least 3 days before a meeting so arrangements can be made.

Members would have all of the same rights when attending remotely. The same policy would apply for all city committee and commission meetings.

Rec advisory board proposal The council on Monday also discussed a request from Jim DuBois, director of the sports complex, for the mayor to set up a recreation advisory board.

A draft resolution was given to the council to bring back a body that existed several years ago, Pannier said. The mayor believes the existence of the sports complex drives the need to bring it back.

both funding and compliance,� Pannier said. “Hopefully, the outcome is that they understand we need help with paying for it.�

Morrison’s wastewater system is in compliance with EPA regulations, but officials will make sure they are clear on what must be included in the engineering plans for future compliance.

In July, the city decided to delay its wastewater treatment plant project for another year. It is hoped that new financing rules to be implemented next year could bring better loan terms. The city has been looking into grant possibilities and is working with EPA to get a no-interest loan.

Also, a request for the city to consider paying for additional stones at the veterans memorial park was discussed. A veterans group said three or four more stones are needed for names, at a cost of between $3,500 and $4,000 each. The council wants the group to first pursue fundraising efforts for the stones.

DuBois said that when he started in Morrison, the sports complex was just opening. Now the facility is his main responsibility, but he is still trying to establish a recreation program, work with the schools, and keep up with maintenance in an aging park. “Making all the decisions for the parks is starting to wear on me,�

DuBois said. “I need some input from a group of taxpayers on prioritizing our goals and just making sure we’re all on the same page.�

The advisory board of five to seven members would be appointed by

the mayor. DuBois hopes there would be a representative from outside the city limits, and either a college or high school student.

The Morrison parks system has two full-time employees, plus seasonal help.

In 2012, former City Administrator Jim Wise had proposed the creation of a Department of Parks and Recreation to oversee the parks, sports complex and the recreation program, but it never came to fruition.

In other matters, a small group of city officials will meet with the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency today in Springfield about its plans for an estimated $23 million wastewater treatment plant. “We’re going to have a face-to-face with them on

MOUNT MORRIS – A Chicago woman is still in a Rockford-area hospital almost a month after being critically injured in a head-on motorcycle crash that left two dead.

Rosarita Gonzalez, 52, is improving: She was listed in fair condition at OSF Saint Anthony Hospital on Tuesday. She has been in the hospital since Aug. 3, and her condition has slowly been upgraded from critical, to serious, to fair.

Her husband, Michael Gonzalez, 52, of Chicago, and Richard Zimmerman, 67, of Lanark, and formerly of Mount Morris, both died in the crash, which remains under investigation.

According to authorities, Zimmerman was heading east on state Route 64, less than a mile east of Mount Morris, when Michael Gonzalez, riding west, tried to pass other westbound traffic and struck Zimmerman’s motorcycle head on.

The Gonzalezes reportedly were riding with a group of at least 30 other motorcycles.

Morris watched other jumpers before taking the leap DOROTHY

She decided to try skydiving after hearing her niece, Kathy Qualkinbush of DeKalb, talk about how much she enjoyed her “jumps.â€? “She kept bringing it up and finally I said, ‘OK, I will arrange it,’â€? said Qualkinbush, who has made hundreds of jumps. “Initially, I was surprised, but knowing her, it made sense. I mean, she’s on Facebook. ‌ I’m sure she’ll put this on, too.â€?

This was not Morris’ first visit to the skydiving center. She had watched other skydivers jump while eating at the Flight Deck Bar & Grill, next to the landing area. “I just love watching them jump,� she said. “We’ve come over for the evening meals, so I’ve seen them over and over. I told Kathy I think I could do that.�

After signing the necessary forms, Morris made her way into a nearby room where she watched a video about her upcoming experience.

One of the tips encouraged screaming because “it actually helps� combat the anxiety. Another urged jumpers to let their jumping partner know

“She has a mind of her own,� he said. “If our mother, Lela Mae, was here today, she’d say, ‘Wait for me.’ Dorothy is cut from the same cloth.�

Lela May lived to be 105, another family member pointed out.

Stomberg said his only real concern was whether his sister was going to try to top this when she turns 92 in January. “She read about the bucket list, and I don’t know if this is it or not,� he said. “If not, it scares me on what may be next.

There were nine of us growing up, and now there’s only two left.�

Most of the skydivers

riding in the plane with Morris jumped at 9,000 feet. The plane then circled again and, at 14,000 feet, Michael Squires, a videographer and instructor who was filming Morris’ feat, exited the plane closely followed

by Morris and Piccolo, a bright teal parachute trailing behind them.

Morris’ “entourage� watched from the viewing tent as their matriarch made soft spirals in the sunny blue sky. Carolyn and Doreen White, two of Dorothy’s Mount Morris buddies, held a sign that read: “It’s a Bird.

It’s a Plane. It’s Dorothy!�

Cheers could be heard as the pair landed. “When I come in for a landing, I really show them how to do it,� Morris said while sitting in the grass. “Now you know why the birds sing!� exclaimed another skydiver, who landed after Morris. “It was ice cold and then suddenly warm,� Morris said as she prepared to meet her entourage. “I made it, Frank,� she said before giving her brother a big hug. “What’s next, deep sea diving?� asked another friend. “No, nothing with water,� Morris shot back.

A new look for your lunchbox MCT News Service

Wait a second. There’s something you can put in a kid’s lunchbox that involves fresh vegetables, simple cooking techniques, and it’s trendy? Direct from the Middle East, hummus made with things besides chickpeas has suddenly become one of the hottest food trends around. In this lunchbox, carrot hummus “sushi” rolls, and hummus made with carrots, avocado and beets are paired with pita wedges.

Hummus a filling and affordable alternative to high-fat snacks

BY KATHLEEN PURVIS MCT News Service

W

hat’s the first lunch lesson of the school year?

Embrace hummus.

Yes, it has a weird name (say it like we’re humming together – “hum us.”) And yes, it is usually made from ground-up chickpeas, which sounds like it should have all the joy of eating library paste.

But stick with me on this: If you think of it as the Middle East’s answer to peanut butter, it can be your best friend when it’s time to pack tasty, healthful lunches, for kids and adults both.

“I use it for everything,” agrees Catherine McCord, the editor of the children’s food website Weelicious.com. “I almost always have a batch in the refrigerator. It’s so easy, it’s inexpensive, it keeps for a week, plus.”

It also can be a lot more than just ground-up beans. And tasting like library paste? That attitude is so 20th century.

McCord’s 2013 book, “Weelicious Lunches,” was the first place I saw a recipe for roasted carrot hummus and realized that hummus didn’t have

to be boring.

Pretty soon, I started seeing hummus variations everywhere – beet hummus, edamame hummus, pumpkin hummus, red pepper hummus. Georgia chef Hugh Acheson even makes a boiled-peanut hummus (it’s darn tasty, too).

In America, hummus has taken off lately. In 2006, it was found in only 12 percent of American households. That’s now up to 20 percent and growing fast. Since chickpeas are high in protein, grinding them up and mixing them with a few other ingredients make them a filling and affordable alternative to high-fat snacks. If you’re not a vegan or vegetarian, there are plenty of advantages to getting to know this basic technique a little better.

Hummus, of course, has been around the Middle East for centuries.

People eat it almost every day there, always as a dip with pita bread, always made with chickpeas and tahini, the sesame seed paste that’s called tarator in Lebanon. The word “hummus” actually means “chickpea.”

To consider hummus in its native setting, I reached out to Joumana Accad, the author of the new book “Taste of Beirut,” coming out next month. Accad divides her time between Texas and Lebanon, where I reached her by email.

In Beirut, she told me, people still stick to the traditional version. A few chefs try variations, but those haven’t caught on. It’s definitely everywhere, though, and eaten almost every day.

“In Lebanon, hummus is as common as hot dogs and tater tots to kids in the U.S. Everybody eats it, children and adults.”

In America, though, even Accad mixes it up with her hummus. Her new book includes beet hummus, and her blog, tasteofbeirut.com, includes variations like zucchini. She’s even made it with green Hatch chiles.

McCord has branched out even more: White bean basil hummus, avocado hummus. She started playing with hummus as a baby food when her kids were small. Now that they’re 5 and 7, she’s found it’s a great way to get them to eat different vegetables

“Once your baby gets past that 12-month phase, you want to get as much nutrition in them as possible,” she says. “A lot of parents complain they can’t get their kids to eat anything nutritious.

Hummus is something

that even the pickiest of eaters would want to eat.”

It’s also a good lunchbox solution, and not just for vegan and vegetarian kids, she says. Children with peanut allergies can often eat hummus, because it’s made with

tahini instead of peanut butter. (Read the label carefully, though: Some tahini includes peanut oil, or is processed in plants where nut butters are made.)

McCord uses it as a sandwich spread, and she sends her kids to school with different flavors of hummus and lightly steamed or raw vegetables for dipping, including all colors of bell pepper strips, sugar snap peas, cherry tomatoes and celery. “How many kids will eat beets?� she says. “But red beet hummus – it’s vibrant, it’s colorful, it’s pink. I’ve seen both of my kids eat fistfuls of it.�

MOUNT MORRIS

An evening of ‘light’ entertainment STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com

EXT

MOUNT MORRIS – An evening of entertainment is planned Friday to celebrate the 39 Victorian-style street lights installed this month around Kable Square, in the heart of the downtown.

The lighting ceremony will begin with food,

compliments of the village board, starting at 6:30 p.m. at the Mount Morris Bandshell. Country band Lyle Grobe and the Rhythm Ramblers will play from 7 to 9 p.m.

The lights will be switched on for the first time during the band’s break at dark.

The new poles and lights, with energy efficient LED

fixtures and underground wiring, replace ones decades old. The board is seeking a state energy grant to help offset some of the $250,000 the project will cost.

Donations taken Friday night will be used to help pay for flag holders and new Christmas decorations.

STERLING – The reviews are in on Sterling High School’s new tennis courts, and every one of them is a rave.

The Golden Warriors are still undefeated in their new digs, opening the season and christening their new playing surfaces with a 4-1 victory over the Newman Comets on Tuesday.

ROCK FALLS – Megan Grady had never traversed the hot trail of Centennial Park before the Rocket Run on Tuesday.

The Amboy sophomore is also not used to starting the cross country season in late August, where temperatures can surpass 90 degrees. On this day, the young Clipper notched another feat in her high school career.

Grady finished the 2.95-mile course in first place, blazing through the 85-degree heat in 19 minutes, 44 seconds. She was among the top runners in the pack for the first mile, and gradually pulled out ahead of everyone else.

ROCK FALLS – Tuesday marked the start of the cross country season for the Newman Comets, but Bryson Reyes was nowhere to be found on the competition grass.

The Comet senior co-captain entered the season opener at Rock Falls’ Rocket Run at Centennial Park still nursing a nagging achilles tendon injury from last season’s track competition.

Filling the roles of observer and helper to coach Pat Warkins, Reyes stood by and watched his Comet teammates put together a third-place finish with 61 points.

Reyes’ absence did not change the Comets’ usual packing technique, as they had five runners place in the top 20.

Dixon senior Anthony Deseno stood in an orange cutoff shirt and practiced slick footwork and dribbling in a patch of shade before soccer practice Tuesday afternoon at Reagan Middle School.

Deseno – a team captain – and his teammates are trying to bring a smarter, more tactical finesse style of play to matches this season, after failing to put together many explosive plays a year ago.

The Dukes didn’t have a dynamic goal scorer a season ago, and didn’t work well enough as a team to create scoring opportunities in key

Did you know? s 3TERLING HAS KNOCKED $IXON OUT of the playoffs in 2 of the past 3 years – in 2011 and 2013. The $UKES DIDN T A SCORE A GOAL IN either match. situations. Much like last season, the roster still lacks a go-to player, and that is why the team has been working on passing.

“Last year, a lot of the work was geared toward conditioning,” Deseno said. “This year, we’re working on passing the ball quick, and being able to control it and make the right play.”

Deseno and fellow seniors Alex Gates and Taz Kuster hope to lead

a new style of play this season that involves aggressive crossing passes and having more touches, which should lead to better shot selection.

“We have no superstars,” Gates said. “It’s because of that we have to think more about the team, so we don’t go through those tough stretches.”

Dukes coach Mahmoud Etemadi noticed that his team played too selfishly a year ago, and saw players trying to do it all themselves.

The result was an offense that only used the middle of the field, and Etemadi wants to be able to use the whole field and spread out his players.

Travis Wood got his first win in months, and impressed his former pitching coach along the way.

Wood pitched six innings of two-hit ball against his former team, leading the Cubs to a 3-0 victory over the Reds in Cincinnati on Tuesday.

Wood (8-11) struck out five and walked one in his first victory since he pitched eight innings in a 3-0 win at Philadelphia on June 15. The lefthander, who made the All-Star team last season, was 0-6 with a 5.45 ERA in his previous 12 starts.

Pinch-hitter Lonnie Chisenhall doubled to lead off the 10th against Jake Petricka (0-4), and after failing to sacrifice Chisenhall to third, Walters hit a 3-2 pitch well into the right-field bleachers to give the Indians the lead.

15-year-old becomes youngest player to win match since 1996

BY RACHEL COHEN !0 3PORTS 7RITER

AP

Catherine Bellis reacts Tuesday after a point against Dominika Cibulkova during the first round of the 2014 U.S. Open in New York. Bellis, 15, upset Cibulkova to become youngest to player to win a match at the U.S. Open since 1996.

Girls’ 18s National Championship earned her a wild card into her first tour-level main draw. The Californian was the youngest cham-

pion of that event since Lindsay Davenport also won it at 15 in 1991.

When Tuesday’s match was over, Bellis ran across the court

to hug members of her cheering section. She’s the youngest American to win at the U.S. Open since a 15-year-old Mary Joe Fernandez in 1986.

Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova fared far better than the last time she came to New York after winning at the All England Club.

In 2011, she lost in the first round; on Tuesday, she beat Kristina Mladenovic 6-1, 6-0.

The player Kvitova defeated in the Wimbledon final, Eugenie Bouchard, was back to her winning ways in her return to the Grand Slam stage.

The seventh-seeded Bouchard routed Olga Govortsova 6-2, 6-1. The last time she played at a major tournament, the 20-year-old made history: the first Canadian to reach a Grand Slam final.

No. 3 doubles match goes back-and-forth COURTS

CONTINUED FROM B1

The marquee match was at No. 3 doubles, where Audrey Melton and Erin Vits picked up the lone point for the Comets with a 6-2, 6-7 (5), 13-11 victory in a third-set supertiebreaker. “I was thinking that Audrey and I had the advantage, because we’ve played together for a while now,� Vits said. “I was also thinking that I was so hungry – I haven’t eaten since lunch – and that was good motivation.�

Melton and Vits led 5-4 and 6-5 in the second set, but Sterling’s Anna Ivarson and Aly Meeks – paired up for just the second time – refused to back down. They forced a second-set tiebreaker, then won that 7-5 to force a winner-take-all super-tiebreaker. “We just had to keep telling ourselves not to give up,â€? Meeks said. “It’s tough to play out here in the hot sun for 2½ hours, and it’s hard sometimes to keep pushing. But we kept going, and it was fun to play so well.â€?

In the super-tiebreaker, the Comet duo jumped out to an 8-3 lead, and looked to have things wrapped up

Teen realizes dream at U.S. Open NEW YORK – American teen CiCi Bellis became the youngest player to win a U.S. Open match since 1996 – almost 3 years before she was born – when she stunned Australian Open runner-up Dominika Cibulkova.

The 15-year-old Bellis rallied from down a break in the third set for a 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 firstround victory Tuesday over the 12th-seeded Cibulkova. With an overflow crowd at a cozy side court roaring, she broke Cibulkova’s serve to clinch the match. “I never thought I’d come out like this,� she said in an on-court interview.

Anna Kournikova was also 15 when she won at the U.S. Open in 1996.

Newman’s Margaret Smith returns a shot during her No. 2 singles match with Allie Prescott in Sterling. Prescott won the match 6-3, 6-2. quickly. But again, the Warriors wouldn’t give in.

Sterling scored eight of the next nine points to take a 10-9 lead, forcing the Comets to dig deep and find some composure. “Our high-5s were actually the key,� Ivarson said with a giggle. “We were really pumping each other up, shaking off the points we had lost and focusing on winning the next point. I kind of thought we were going to pull it out.�

But not to be outdone, Newman bounced back to take four of the next five points for the victory. “We just had to keep our heads about ourselves, and not lose our wits,� Melton said. “We had to stay aggressive, even if we didn’t win a point, because if you

keep focusing on making something happen, in the end you end up doing well. “But Anna and Aly should be very proud of themselves, because they played very, very well; that was one of the best matches I’ve ever played in.�

Vits served a pair of aces to restore order, taking Newman from the 10-9 deficit to an 11-10 lead. After Meeks hit a winner to tie the tiebreak at 11, Vits finished things off with a pair of overhead winners at the net. “I knew what I had to do to help us win,� Vits said, “and we got some confidence from the aces, and went from there.�

Vits’ older sister, Anne, was part of the No. 1 singles match that went to a tiebreaker in the first

set before Scanlan put it away down the stretch.

Anne Vits led early in the first set, but Scanlan battled back to force the tiebreaker, which she won 7-2. That gave the Sterling junior some confidence, and she rode that to victory. “When I got down, it got to me,� Scanlan said, “but once I realized how I needed to play against her, I figured out a strategy and stuck to it. “She hits it so hard, that I just focused on getting it back over the net. When I started longer rallies, I was winning those points.�

The rallies were the difference. Anne Vits, who took over the No. 1 spot which was filled by Mary Alice Oswalt the past 4 years, said nerves played a part at times. She said the mental adjustment in moving up from No. 2 singles to the top spot is something she’s still working on. “It’d a little daunting when you think about having to play the other teams’ best player every match,� Anne Vits said. “I’m trying to prepare myself a little more ahead of time, but that first match of the season is always rough. “I was just getting frustrated at times, but I am happy with how I played overall. I can only go up from here.�

Also absent was Drew Rosengren due to injury, providing a chance for more Comet runners to become more important to the team standing. “I’m real satisfied,�

Reyes said. “Without Drew and I, we still got third as a team, and not far behind all of the other top-placing teams. Everyone was kind of sluggish coming into this one.

But just the way everyone plugged through and came together, we’re so happy with the way we competed today.�

The Comets’ other cocaptain, Quincy Coomes, led the pack with a thirdplace finish, pacing through with a time of 16:25. After a paced first mile, Coomes started to hang with the lead pack at the start of the second mile, and held on the rest of the way.

Coomes also battled injury during the offseason, healing from a dislocated shoulder at the end of last year. “Getting back out in the first race my senior year, it’s the last time I’ll ever be at this meet,� Coomes said.

Newman’s Quincy Coomes runs during the Rocket Run. Coomes is rounding into shape after dislocating his shoulder at the end of last season.

Seth Williams stayed within each other for most of the race. At about the 2½-mile mark, the two began to drift apart. “The strategy was to hold back and don’t go hard until somebody takes over – to start the race and stay with them,â€?

Hamblen said. “We were thinking that someone was going to take it away at about the first mile, so that we wouldn’t have to do as much work. It ended up being me and Seth being one and two for the first 2½ miles. I just went out too hard

and kept the pace. It didn’t work out to plan.� “I’m not happy with my result either,� Williams said. “If it wasn’t so hot, I felt like I would have done better. But because of the heat and what happened with that [front] pack, I felt slow. We all felt like we were going slow.�

The Rockets finished fourth as a team with 84 points.

Chris Ahlers finished 11th for the Comets with a time of 17:27. Ethan Nash (17th place) and Clay Jungerman (18th)

stuck together with times of 18:24 and 18:25. Brady Osborne rounded out the top 20, with a time of 18:41. “The first meet is always just to see where everyone’s at, and just go from there,� Reyes said. “For everyone to compete the way that we did today, time-wise, we can only get better. With the way that we competed today, we’re looking forward to what that can be.�

Nick Monkemeyer of Rockford Christian won the meet with a time of 16:22, followed by Burlington Central’s Clay Musial at 16:25. “I just did my best to stay with the top guy,�

Coomes said. “Nick, I knew he could probably beat me, but if I hung on, I knew I could still get a good finish.�

Cambridge-AlWood finished fifth with 159 points, followed by Genoa-Kingston (161), Erie-Prophetstown (195), Oregon (224), and St. Bede (235).

Lucas White led ErieProphetstown with a 19th-place finish (18:40).

Ian Hussung led Oregon with a 36th-place finish (20:02). Amboy, which only had two runners compete, was led by James Blackburn’s 19thplace finish (18:40).

individual performances.

Luckily, Etemadi has had more than enough support in changing the offense.

The Dixon boys soccer team attends a summer tournament in Moline in July each year, and this season had more players participate than he knew what to do with. “It was great to see the guys come out this year,� Etemadi said. “In past years, we have been scrambling for players.

It made this year a lot easier to start practice already trying out what

we set out to do.�

The next time the Dukes get a chance to play Sterling again comes Sept. 20, a rare Saturday home game, and Dixon hopes play with a style that hasn’t been seen before. “Our practices have been a lot more teamoriented,� Kuster said. “We have been working a bunch on connecting passes and moving sideto-side. We’re not necessarily learning new skills, but refining them and playing how we know we can play.�

CONTINUED FROM B1

Along the way and mostly alone, Grady was not only battling the heat, but also trying to make sure she wasn’t meandering well out of the way sideways. “I just told myself that I have to do my best,�

Grady said. “I’ve never run here before. I tried to keep looking down at the line. It kept disappearing. It was a pretty good course.�

By the final half-mile, Grady was nearly 150 feet ahead of runner-up Corrie Reiley of ErieProphetstown. At the finish line, she beat Reiley by 18 seconds, and paced through the nearby shade to cool off. “It was really hot. It was my first meet, and I didn’t really know what to expect,� Grady said. “I haven’t run in a long time. It was a really good meet. I felt okay, but it was really hot.�

Reiley, a junior, had run in the meet before.

Last year’s event was cancelled because of extreme heat, but she knew what it was like to undertake the challenge of running against others in such circumstances. “Today I drank four bottles of water, because I knew it was going to be extremely hot,� Reiley said. “In gym class, I had personal fitness, so I just walked on the treadmill and stretched just to prepare for the meet.�

But four bottles of water sometimes isn’t enough. “Even during my mile warmup, I was getting a real dry mouth,� Reiley said. “It wasn’t because I didn’t drink enough,

Reiley led the Panthers to the team title with a score of 72 points. Teammate Olivia DeWitte also placed in the top 10, finishing in 22:09 for a 10th-place finish. Emily Hanover finished in 17th place with a time of 23:26 to contribute for the Panthers, followed by top30 finishes by Mikayala Bolton (23rd), Chance Johnson (26th), and Heather Strike (28th).

DeWitte and Johnson are newcomers to the Panther program, trading the volleyball wood for the cross country grass. “We’re real excited to see some new faces, and hope they do well, having run track for us in distance, and they did exceptionally well,� ErieProphetstown coach Liz Green said. “We’re really happy that they decided to join us. “They came in not sure what to expect. We tried to talk them through the race a little bit, told them to make sure to relax and

Newman finished in third place with 98 points, beating the host Rockets on a sixthman tiebreaker. Teagan McKenna led the Comets with an eighth-place finish in 22:01. Kelsey Simpson (13th place) and Haley Simpson (15th) also placed in the top 30 for the Comets.

Rock Falls was led by the tandem of Makaley Velazquez and Bailie Smith, rounding out the meet’s top five in fourth and fifth place.

Jennifer Popovich notched Amboy’s second top-10 finish with a seventh-place showing in 21:57. The Clippers rounded out the top five in the team standings with 119 points. Orion was sixth with 121 points, followed by Eastland (135), Genoa-Kingston (189), Oregon (218), and Cambridge-AlWood (246).

Megan Schmieder was Eastland’s top finisher with an 18th-place showing (23:36). Kelsey Handschuh led Oregon with a 15th-place effort (23:36).

Right defense can affect contracts

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Tom Hodgkinson is a British writer who has a relaxed approach to life, letting it come to him. He said, “We no longer sing and dance. We don’t know how to. Instead, we watch other people sing and dance on the television screen. Christmas, which was once a festival of active enjoyment, has turned into a binge of purely passive pleasures.”

Do you agree with that?

This week we are comparing active and passive defense. The bidding is the first piece of evidence. In today’s deal, look at the auction and West’s hand. What should West lead against four spades?

North’s three-heart response was a transfer bid,

showing five or more spades and at least zero points. His three-no-trump rebid offered a choice of games. Here South would have done well to settle for three no-trump,

which has nine top tricks.

But it was normal to bid four spades with such weak clubs and the potential blockage in spades.

It is very dangerous to lead around to a big balanced hand. West ought to select a trump. (A club is safe here, but I dislike leading from a jack.)

South can make his contract if he plays with mirrors, catching West in a red-suit endplay. The curious may work out the details.

But declarer is likely to use his two club entries to dummy to try each red-suit finesse and go down when they both fail. He would lose one heart, two diamonds and one club.

However, if West leads actively, picking the heart four, he concedes the contract immediately. © 2014 UFS
