Battling addiction ...

One step at a time

Young and old alike, walkers hit the pavement Saturday to raise awareness of drug addiction, and honor those who lost the battle, during the first Overdose Awareness Memorial Walk in Dixon.

DIXON – Dixon native Ryan Wulf has gone from riding handcuffed in the back of police cars to fixing them.

Nine months ago, Wulf, 26, stopped using heroin. Today, he spends his time as an auto mechanic on Chicago’s South Side.

“It’s wild to talk about how far I’ve come,” Wulf said.

Wulf was one of about 60 people who participated in the Overdose Awareness Memorial Walk on Saturday evening in Dixon.

“The purpose of the walk is to bring awareness and educate people about the signs and symptoms of overdose,” said Greg O’Brien, a member of Safe Harbor of Lee County, the group that put on the event. “We also want to reflect and remember those who have lost their lives to overdoses.”

Brauman was given the award Aug. 16 in his hometown American Legion Post 12 in Dixon in front of an audience that included other local Scouts, Mayor Li Arellano Jr., and community members.

“It makes me feel pretty good about myself to know I helped out another person when maybe they were going through some tough times,” Brauman said.

On June 23, 2014, the Newman Central student was wrapping up a 12-day excursion to New Mexico with his father, Eric, and brother, Zach.

While the train they were traveling on moved through Missouri and the trio moved through the Amtrak snack line, Brauman noticed something was off.

“While we waited for our turn, a lady was standing extremely close to the emergency door, and kept placing her hand on the latch of the door,” Brauman recounted months later. “The train was moving at full speed.

The operator of the concession stand asked very firmly for her to step away from the door.”

Occupants quickly realized the woman’s intent.

Some heard her say she “needed off the train.”

She tried to pry open the door while the train was in motion.

her away from the latch.

But while others called for help, the woman jumped up and succeeded in opening the door.

That’s when – by Brauman’s and others’ accounts – the Scout’s instincts kicked in. He stepped between the woman and the door. She “slammed” into him, but Brauman didn’t budge, holding up his arms to prevent her from getting around him.

The woman gave up and was handed over to police at the next station.

Brauman credits his Boy Scout training for helping him remain calm and focused during a lifethreatening situation.

He has been involved in Scouting since he was in first grade, he said, and believes his participation has helped mold him into a young man with good values.

“They refresh you every year about safety,” Brauman said. “They’re the kind of things Scouts is all about.”

That’s something Amtrak executives also acknowledge. A year later, Adam Bland of Amtrak Customer Relations mailed a letter to Dixon Scout leader David Hage to praise Brauman’s heroism.

“His quick-thinking and swift decisionmaking helped prevent a female passenger from exiting the moving train,” Bland wrote.

“Mr. Brauman exhibited poise under pressure and selfless regard

“I just wanted to step in, in case she tried to go for [the door] again.”

With or without a medal, Brauman added, it’s something he’ll never forget.

Phoenix Mordick of Freeport was on vacation with his family in northern Wisconsin in July when the accident happened during a fishing outing.

The boy was flown to a hospital in Madison.

Ophthalmologist Sarah Nehls treated Phoenix.

She says he was fortunate that he did not get an infection and that his vision after surgery is 20/20.

Phoenix told the Rockford Register Star he’s glad to be back at Dakota Elementary School.

And after recovering he got a second, better vacation to the Grand Canyon. Seeing the canyon, he says, “was awesome.”

CHICAGO (AP) – A newspaper report says a for-profit telemarketing company raised roughly $5 million at Chicagoarea call centers for U.S. charities, but the charities received only a fraction of the money.

The Chicago Tribune cited government records covering 2008 to 2014. It found Safety Publications Inc. gave nonprofits dealing with causes, including children’s health, 15 cents of each dollar. Many charities spent on overhead, leaving little for those in need.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office accused the company through civil court allegations of misleading the public, failing to file required documents and hiring felons as callers, despite an Illinois law prohibiting it.

Company officials said in a statement that professional fundraisers are heavily regulated and Safety Publications works

hard to comply with Illinois laws and in other states where it solicits.

Park district seeks help from goat herd HOFFMAN ESTATES (AP) – A suburban Chicago park district is enlisting a herd of several dozen goats to help clear invasive plants from a golf course.

The Daily Herald in Arlington Heights reported that the Hoffman Estates Park District has hired a Monroe, Wisconsin, company that specializes in such work to maintain the course at the Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club.

The goats remain inside a temporary, 12-volt electric fence that will be moved to different parts of the course every few days over the next several weeks.

Green Goats owner Kim Hunter says the animals initially graze on plants they prefer, but eventually will eat overgrown weeds and other non-native plants.

EAST ST. LOUIS (AP) – In the nearly 6 years since a southern Illinois man died in an East St. Louis strip club parking lot after being run over by a bouncer’s pickup truck, court hearings for a reckless homicide charge have been postponed 16 times, and the case is on its sixth judge – one of whom is in federal prison.

Meanwhile, the bouncer, who has two methamphetamine-related convictions and faces felony charges of beating three people at a bar his family owns, remains free on bail.

The long-delayed trial, which remains unscheduled, lingers at a time of increasing national scrutiny over race and criminal justice. The 2009 death of Anthony Rice, a 23-year-old black man, inflamed racial tensions in East St. Louis, where 98 percent of residents are black. His family and supporters protested weekly outside City Hall until criminal charges were filed nearly 2 years later.

But when asked whether race was a factor in Rice’s death, St. Clair County State’s Attorney Brendan Kelly responded that Reginald Allen, who is white, wasn’t charged with a hate

crime. St. Clair County is two-thirds’ white.

“I’ve never seen the wheels of Reginald justice spin Allen slower, or with less direction,” said Justin Meehan, who is Rice’s great-uncle and an attorney in St. Louis, Missouri.

He also noted that the case could prove difficult to prosecute, given conflicting accounts from witnesses.

Allen is accused of driving over Rice in the parking lot of the now-shuttered City Nights bar after taunting Rice and his brother with racial comments and throwing a brick through the windshield of their friend’s car.

Allen, who has pleaded not guilty, has said he feared for his life after the brothers’ friend grabbed a gun from his car and fired several warning shots.

Kelly, who displays a photo of Rice in his office as a reminder of the unresolved prosecution, declined to further discuss the years-old case against Allen, other than to say that the state will first proceed with the charges brought against Allen in January stemming from an alleged 2012 attack on a stripper and two men at a club owned by Allen’s mother. That trial is to begin Oct. 12.

EXELON

Cordova closure coming?

Unprofitable site one of three generating stations in danger CHICAGO (AP) – The owner of Illinois’ 11 nuclear reactors must decide next month whether to close its Quad Cities Generating Station near Cordova, one of three generating stations Exelon Corp. has said are in danger of closing if lawmakers don’t approve a surcharge on electric bills to boost profits.

Exelon says it should be rewarded for producing reliable, carbonfree electricity that will help Illinois meet an Obama administration mandate to reduce greenhouse gases. But opponents say ratepayers should not have to bail out an unprofitable plant for a private company that’s still making money.

The company learned that one of the at-risk plants – in Byron – is going to make millions after a recent electricity reliability auction, while the future of the third plant, Clinton in the central part of the state, is still in doubt.

Here’s a look at where things stand.

Why is Quad Cities plant unprofitable?

Exelon says the tworeactor plant, which began commercial operation in 1973, is losing money because of higher costs to move electricity along transmission lines shared with wind power and increased competition from lower-cost natural gas-fired plants.

Transmission lines near the Quad Cities are not as extensive as those closer to Chicago and also move windgenerated electricity coming from Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska.

That sometimes threatens to overload the lines, leading to higher costs to transmit electricity through the congestion, said Tim Hanley, senior vice president of operations at Exelon Nuclear.

In addition to selling electricity on the open market, Exelon and other power generators that serve a region covering all or part of 13 states and the District of Columbia are paid for guaranteeing a certain electricity supply in the future and during peak

The Exelon nuclear power plant is shown in October 2007 near Cordova. Exelon Corp. says the Quad Cities Generating Station is unprofitable due to increased competition from lower-cost natural gas plants and because transmission costs are higher because it’s sharing the same lines with wind power coming in from other states.

Western’s feisty cowgirl dies at 66 Actress played Wrangler Jane in ‘F Troop’

BY DAVID COLKER Tribune News Service

Actress Melody Patterson, who played the feisty cowgirl Wrangler Jane in the comic western sitcom “F Troop” in the mid-1960s, has died at a nursing home in Hollister, Missouri. She was 66.

Patterson had multiple medical problems and died of natural causes Aug. 21, said Jason Bradley, owner of Cremations of the Ozarks in Hollister, a small town near Branson.

Her role in “F Troop,” which debuted in 1965 and ran for two seasons on ABC, was her first as a professional actress.

Patterson was the last of numerous actresses to audition for the part; she won it, she said, because of how well she worked with Ken Berry, who played a fort commander

who was Wrangler Jane’s love interest.

“It was a magical chemistry between two people,” she said in a 2001 interview with the Asbury Park Press in New Jersey.

One problem: Patterson was not quite 16 when she auditioned. She lied about her age, telling producers she would “be 18 on her next birthday and would therefore be out of school,” according to a biographical essay on her now-defunct website. “Fortunately, the truth did not surface until she had filmed seven shows.”

By then, Patterson was an integral part of the show about a bumbling Army troop stationed at a remote outpost. It also starred seasoned actors Larry Storch and Forrest Tucker.

Some of the show’s dialogue had more than a hint of innuendo, but Patterson said it was never raunchy. “It was an innocent sexy,” she said in the Asbury Park interview, citing one of

Berry’s lines when he warns her, “Janie, you’ll bend my sword.”

“Well,” she said, “you know what guys are thinking.”

Though she was the junior member of the cast, the veteran actors treated her well. “They were wonderful to me,” she said. “I was the little baby.”

Not that they spared her from some ribald, off-camera kidding. She said that Tucker, who called her “kid,” began each week by asking her if she had had sex over the weekend. Many years later, Patterson recalled that her agent warned her that Howard Stern might try to embarrass her during an interview on his radio show.

“Bring him on,” Patterson said. “Come on – Howard Stern is gonna make me nervous?”

Patterson was born April 16, 1949, in the Los Angeles area. She wrote and directed her first play at 5 and appeared in several stage productions before enrolling in the

private Hollywood Professional School for ninth grade.

After “F Troop” ended, she appeared in a few other series, including “The Monkees” and “Green Acres.” And she was in a few movies, mostly low-budget shockers such as “The Cycle Savages” (1969) and “Blood and Lace” (1971).

Her 1970 marriage to actor James MacArthur, who played “Danno” on the original “Hawaii Five-0,” took her to the islands, where she appeared in three episodes of that TV show and in several stage productions, including August Strindberg’s “Miss Julie.”

When the marriage ended in divorce, she returned to the mainland and made numerous stage appearances.

She married musician Vern Miller, who survives her.

In her online essay, Patterson called “F Troop” the “biggest thrill” of her career.

Study: Severe poverty affects brain size Kids often receive less nurturing from parents, live with more stress Tribune News Service

A 6-year study by researchers at the University of WisconsinMadison has added to the mounting evidence that growing up in severe poverty affects how children’s brains develop, potentially putting them at a lifelong disadvantage.

The study – which

combined the expertise of neuroscientists and economists – found that the parts of the brain tied to academic performance were 8 percent to 10 percent smaller for children who grow up in very poor households.

It was based on a relatively large sample of predominantly white children whose moth-

ers were much more educated than the general population. And the results show a biological link between growing up in extreme poverty and how well children do academically.

“The significance of the study is providing a hard physical link between the experience of growing up in poverty and how well children do on cognitive tests,” said Barbara “Bobbi” Wolfe, an economist at UW-Madison and

one of the co-authors of the study.

The study, published in JAMA Pediatrics, builds on animal studies and other research suggesting that poverty affects the parts of the brain tied to self-control, attention, planning and other traits important for success in school and life.

The children often receive less nurturing from parents and live in environments characterized by increased stress from

crowded housing, instability, poor nutrition, limited stimulation and more exposure to violence.

That children who grow up in poverty do less well in school is well documented. But studies increasingly show that at least part of that overall poor performance stems from how their brains grow and work.

The UW study estimated that as much as 20 percent of the gap in test scores could be explained

by slower development of two parts of the brain: the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe.

The frontal lobe is important for controlling attention, inhibition, emotions and complex learning. The temporal lobe is important for memory and language comprehension, such as identifying and attaching meaning to words.

Both areas of the brain develop through adolescence.

VIRGINIA

Police investigate motive in attack Suspect has spent short stints in jail HOUSTON (AP) – The man charged with capital murder in the fatal shooting of a uniformed suburban Houston sheriff’s deputy had a lengthy criminal record going back a decade, but never spent more than short stints in jail.

Shannon J. Miles, whose criminal record includes convictions for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct with a firearm, was to be arraigned today in the shooting of Darren Goforth, a 10-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office. Miles’ arrest Saturday came less than 24 hours after authorities said he ambushed Goforth at a suburban Houston Chevron station.

Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said the attack was “clearly unprovoked,” and there is no evidence that Goforth knew Miles. Investigators have no information from Miles that would shed light on his motive, Hickman said.

“Our assumption is that he [Goforth] was a target because he wore a uniform,” the sheriff said.

Shannon J. Miles, 30, is walked out of the Harris County Sheriff’s Department on Saturday in Houston. Prosecutors on Saturday charged Miles with capital murder in the killing of a uniformed sheriff’s deputy who was gunned down from behind while filling his patrol car with gas. begins in 2005, when he was convicted of criminal mischief, giving false information to police and resisting arrest, according to records. In 2006, he was convicted of disorderly conduct with a firearm and sentenced to a maximum of 15 days in jail. He was convicted of evading arrest in 2007, and his most recent conviction came in 2009 for again resisting arrest.

Records show that the

30-year-old Houston resident was sentenced to several short stints in jail, anywhere from 10 to 6 days.

Court and jail records did not list an attorney for Miles and attempts to reach his family members on Sunday were unsuccessful.

Goforth, 47, was pumping gas at a Chevron station Friday night in Cypress, a middle- to upper-middle-class suburban area of Harris

County located northwest of Houston, when the gunman approached him from behind and fired multiple shots, continuing to fire after the deputy had fallen to the ground.

The killing evoked strong emotions in the local law enforcement community, with Hickman linking it to heightened tension over the treatment of AfricanAmericans by police.

Goforth was white and Miles is black.

CATHOLIC CHURCH

Pope Francis stranger to the U.S. in many ways NEW YORK (AP) – When Pope Francis sets foot on the tarmac at Andrews Air Force Base near Washington on Sept. 22, it won’t just be his first time in the United States as pontiff.

It will be his first time in the country – ever in his life.

The former Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina, never followed the footsteps of so many fellow Roman Catholic leaders of his rank, who sought to raise their profiles, along with funds for missions back home, by networking within the deeply influential and well-resourced U.S. church.

This gap in his resume can be explained in part

by Francis’ personality. He was a homebody who loathed being away and felt a profound obligation to stay near the people of his archdiocese. He also famously opposed ladder-climbing, condemning what he called “airport bishops” who spend more time traveling for their own prestige or pleasure than serving their flock.

Still, Francis’ lack of firsthand experience of the U.S. stands out for many, especially those struggling to absorb his unsparing critique of the excesses of global capitalism and wondering whether this first Latin American pope harbors resentment over the history of U.S. policies in his native region.

“This trip to the United States will be the most difficult, the most challenging, and the most interesting because he’s exploring a world that for him is more foreign than Asia, than the Philippines,” where Francis traveled last January, said Massimo Faggioli, an expert in church history at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota. “It’s not just a language barrier. It’s a cultural barrier.”

Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo, an Argentine and one of Francis’ key advisers at the Vatican, said he was aware of but disputed the perception that the pope disliked the United States.

Francis’ view that a global economic system

focused on maximizing profits was destroying the poor and the environment has landed hard in a country considered the world headquarters for capitalism.

Service pays tribute to slain journalists ROANOKE, Va. (AP) – Community religious leaders gathered Sunday to remember 24-year-old reporter Alison Parker and 27-year-old cameraman Adam Ward, the two television journalists who were shot and killed while working last week.

The interfaith service at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke was filled with somber prayers across several religions, along with music from the Roanoke Symphony Orchestra and others.

The ceremony began with a slideshow of the WDBJ-TV journalists wearing warm smiles as they worked as a tagteam on stories.

In his remarks, WDBJ-TV General Manager Jeffrey Marks recalled that Parker and Ward were almost never angry. Marks said he suspected that the most you would get out of Parker was an “emphatic ‘darn,’” and then she would be back hard at work.

“Adam and Alison saw that as their mission – to

awaken us to what is good and fun in life,” Marks said.

Marks also talked about better prioritizing mental health treatment.

“Mental illness cannot exist on the periphery of health care,” Marks said.

“It should be obvious that it needs to be center stage because most mental illness is treatable if we can get to the sufferer. In this case, we didn’t.”

Ward and Parker were on an early morning assignment for WDBJ-TV at Smith Mountain Lake when Vester Lee Flanagan walked up and shot them and Vicki Gardner, a Chamber of Commerce official, with a 9mm Glock pistol during a live interview. Ward and Parker died at the scene and Gardner is recovering in a hospital.

The shootings occurred as thousands of viewers across the central Virginia community watched the footage quickly spread to millions on social media.

Flanagan shot himself as police pursued his car. He died hours later.

Green leads in poll If next November’s election were held today, Dwight H. Green and Wendell Willkie would carry Illinois by substantial majorities, according to a poll published in Pathfinder magazine. The poll was taken by Emil Hurja, publisher, who formerly was associated with James Farley as assistant chairman of the Democrat[ic] national committee.

According to Mr. Hurja, Green today could carry the state by more than a million plurality, and Willkie by more than 800,000 votes.

Of course, this is only a poll – a straw vote.

There are two weaknesses in straw votes. One is that much may happen between the taking of the sample poll and Election Day. The second is that the method of taking the poll may not guarantee a true forecast. ...

WASHINGTON – One annoying thing about presidents telling us they feel our pain is that they don’t. They don’t drive.

They may create heavy traffic jams, but they don’t have to drive in them.

President Obama, tooling around Martha’s Vineyard on vacation, causing massive delays in New York when he wants to see a play, shutting down major arteries in D.C. when he tries to get members of Congress to stop ignoring him, says he knows all about crumbling infrastructure. But does he really?

The other day, driving from Louisville to Dayton, I spent 5 hours bumper to bumper on a drive that should take half that time.

The average Washington, D.C.-area driver spends 82 hours a year stuck in traffic, according to a report

by Inrix, a traffic monitoring outfit that has an app for smarter driving, and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.

Nationwide, we waste an average of 2 days of our lives mired in traffic, at a cost of $160 billion.

But you knew that. You have probably said you will go mad if you have to sit for 5 more minutes behind that blue Honda.

There are good developments that go along with all this time on the road, of course. We spend incessant amounts of time listening to the radio or audio books. We have informative, educational conversations with our children about whose music should be playing.

Hopefully, we get out from behind our digital devices (please, please, please don’t text or use a hands-on cell phone while driving – it’s causing more collisions and making us even later) and see what is going on in the world around us.

YOU WON’T BE surprised to learn, officially, that traffic in America is getting worse. The Urban Mobility Scorecard Annual Report finds that we spend 6.9 billion hours in congestion and 3.1 billion gallons of fuel while not spinning our wheels.

The really bad thing is that engineers have no idea how to accommodate millions more cars in already overcrowded areas.

The federal government says Americans drove 40 billion more miles in the first 6 months of 2015 than they did in 2007.

Engineers hope that as technology improves and cars automatically stop if they get too close to the vehicle in front, there will be fewer collisions and more people can use the same road. But what

about the car without that technology that plows into your rear?

That just happened to two good friends whose 1-year-old car was totaled by a driver with three children in the backseat on a crowded road to the beach.

Thankfully, nobody was seriously hurt, but traffic was a mess for hours – hundreds of cranky people struggling to get home or late getting on vacation.

The 10 worst places for congestion (from worst to worse) are the corridors in the Washington, D.C., area, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, San Francisco-Oakland, New York-Newark, San Jose, Boston, Seattle, Houston, Chicago, and RiversideSan Bernardino, California. But even small cities and towns are experiencing more traffic tie-ups.

THE GOOD SIDE OF more construction delays is that, slowly but surely, more roads are being repaired or rebuilt. Also, there’s hope that as more young people flock to city life, they’ll walk, ride bikes, and take mass transit to get to work. Anyway, it’s a pleasant thought.

The reality is that if it used to take 20 minutes to get somewhere, now allot 48 minutes. In D.C., if the drive once took 10 minutes, you’re foolish if you expect it to take less than 35 minutes.

Maybe our vacationing legislators, being driven from county fair to fundraiser to town meeting, will see how bad traffic has gotten and return to Washington to do something. Maybe.

The Washington Post talked to experts who think the morning routine of the future will be turning on the computer to find out whether to take the bus or drive a different route. Or maybe it will advise us to return to bed – it’s impossible to get to work that day.

Daughter in debt needs help, not money Dear Abby Three years ago, I gave my adult daughter, married with a child, more than $16,000 to help pay off her debts because she couldn’t pay her bills. She and her husband maintain separate accounts, which I find odd. He pays certain expenses; she pays others. Now I find she’s deep in debt again and needs more help.

I’m 69, married and retired. We have some savings and I’d like to help her. However, I’m afraid if I take more money out of our savings, we might not have enough to cover an emergency or if either of us needs nursing home care.

She is a good and loving

dearABBY Abigail Van Buren’s (Jeanne Phillips) column appears during the week through Universal Press Syndicate.

daughter, and I feel bad that I might not be able to help her. Do you see any solution to my problem?

– Dennis in Virginia Dear Dennis, You must stop enabling your adult daughter.

Rather than offer more of your savings, it’s important to find out what is

causing her spending problem. (Drugs? Depression? A shopping addiction?) Then steer her and her husband to a credit counseling organization that can help her without placing your future welfare in jeopardy.

Legitimate credit counseling firms are affiliated with the National Foundation for Credit Counseling, the Association of Credit Counseling Professionals, or the Association of Independent Consumer Credit Counseling Agencies.

This isn’t your problem, and it shouldn’t be. You have done enough.

Dear Abby, Last weekend we had our children and grand-

kids over for a family birthday. We looked after the children, cooked, waited on everyone and cleaned up afterward while the adults sat texting or playing on their cellphones.

Abby, this is not so much a question as an observation for anyone of any age who is invited to visit someone’s home: Spending time on the cellphone rather than socializing is rude. It says our company is not valued. It says that neither we nor your children are important enough for your attention. It teaches children that it isn’t necessary to be social, offer to help clear the table, or be gracious and appreciative when some-

one prepares a meal for them.

The visit left a bitter taste, and it will be a long time before we invite our children and grandchildren to our home again. I know cellphones are part of our culture, but adults still have the power to choose what is important and turn them off.

– Disconnected in Midtown, Tennessee Dear Disconnected, Now that you have vented, may I pose a question? While your children were sitting on their fannies after the meal, did you or your spouse tell them you needed help, that their children needed minding, and that their behav-

ior was rude? Because if you didn’t, please recognize that the behaviors you described do not spring up overnight, and you might be partly responsible for how your children turned out.

“Not inviting them for a long time” isn’t the answer, because they might not get the “hint.”

If you say what’s on your mind, you might startle them into modeling better behavior for their children before it’s too late. Putting into words how their behavior made you feel would be more direct and more effective.

How to defend against an endplay

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Laurence J. Peter, a Canadian educator and “hierarchiologist” who died in 1988, said, “Bureaucracy defends the status quo long past the time when the quo has lost its status.”

Last week, we looked at elimination and endplay by declarer. In those deals, the defenders could not avoid being trapped. Sometimes, though, they can defend effectively.

There is one key point that must be borne in mind, which is highlighted in today’s layout.

South is in four spades.

West cashes two heart tricks, then exits with a diamond.

What happens after that?

Note South’s two-spade jump-advance of his part-

ner’s takeout double. So many inexperienced players bid the suit that they prefer at a minimum level regardless of point-count. A minimum bid shows 0-8 points. With 9-11, advancer must jump in his

suit. (With 12 points or more, he cue-bids the opener’s suit.)

Declarer mustn’t concede two club tricks. However, since only 13 high-card points are missing, surely the club finesse is losing.

After winning trick three, South draws trumps and cashes dummy’s diamonds.

Now he leads a club. If East plays low, declarer covers with his eight. This endplays West; he must either return a club away from the king or concede a ruff-and-sluff.

However, if East knows about defense against an elimination and endplay, he will play the club 10 at trick nine. This gets West off the endplay and defeats the contract.

When declarer is trying for an endplay, it’s second hand high. © 2015 UFS

TECHNOLGY

Tech generation frustrated by the errors of their way Survey: Typos and grammar irritate people NEW YORK (AP) – It’s the LOL generation that appears most annoyed by bad grammar and spelling slips, according to a survey by Dictionary.com.

The site found in an online Harris Poll done July 31 to Aug. 4 that 80 percent of American adults 18 and older consider themselves good spellers, but they might be overestimating their abilities.

The survey of 2,052 people showed 71 percent responded that they often find spelling mistakes in correspondence from others.

Among respondents 18 to 34, 74 percent said they were irked by such slips on social media – more than any other age group.

“While we’d assume they’d be accustomed to seeing and using abbreviated speech and lingo because they are a techsavvy generation, we actually found that they have much higher standards,” said Liz McMillan, the site’s chief executive, from the company’s headquarters in Oakland, California.

“The poll was a great way to get a sense for how people really feel about the way we communicate, whether through our speech, social media posts or even signs and restaurant menus,” she said.

Across all age groups, 59 percent said improper

Metro Art Service

People age 18 to 34 might be tech-savvy, but they’re not grammarsavvy, according to a new survey. grammar is their biggest beef when it comes to the English language.

Women notice grammar and spelling mistakes more than men, with 75 percent saying they often find errors in the writing of others. That’s compared to 66 percent of men who spot errors, according to the survey.

Specifically what is the biggest peeve? Typos on restaurant menus, store signs and ads for 59 percent of respondents.

Misspellings of “February” and “definitely” were singled out by 38 percent and 31 percent, respectively, as most bothersome when respondents were presented with a list of word candidates. Thirty percent said the “I before e except after c rule” – as violated in “receive” – bothered them the most.

But THE most irksome set of oft-confused words, at least to 46 percent of the survey’s respondents, was an old standard: “their, they’re and there.”

ILLINOIS

Number of vets with Legionnaires rises QUINCY (AP) – Officials say the number of residents with Legionnaires’ disease at a western Illinois veterans’ home climbed five more to 28, including two people who died last week.

The Quincy Herald-Whig reported Saturday the number jumped from the 23 cases made public Friday when the deaths were reported. Illinois Department of Public Health officials say the deceased residents had underlying medical conditions.

Legionnaires’ disease is a severe form of pneumonia, with lung inflammation usually caused by infection.

It’s not transmitted from person to person, with most people getting it from inhaling the Legionella bacteria.

Illinois Veterans Home spokesman Ryan Yantis says residents are being monitored and anyone with symptoms will be treated as if they have it until lab results show otherwise.

MARYLAND

Former governor dies at 95 ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Marvin Mandel, a former Maryland governor whose 26-year career in state government ended with his 1977 conviction on political corruption charges, has died. He was 95.

According to a statement from his family, Mandel passed away Sunday afternoon after spending 2 days with family in St. Mary’s County celebrating the 50th birthday of his stepson, Paul Dorsey.

The cause of death is not yet known.

Once considered one of Maryland’s most powerful and effective governors, Mandel presided over a major reorganization of state government,

built a subway in Baltimore and spent $1 billion on school construction.

But his accomplishments were overshadowed by his personal tribulations, which included his trial and a messy divorce when he moved out of the governor’s mansion, leaving his first wife behind so he could marry another woman.

He was convicted in 1977 along with five codefendants of mail fraud and racketeering. The charges stemmed from what prosecutors said was a complex scheme in which Mandel was given money and favors for vetoing one bill and signing another to help his friends make money on a horse racing track deal.

Organizers want to keep on walking WALK

CONTINUED FROM A1

The walkers gathered at Haymarket Park in downtown Dixon. Once the sun started to go down, they began walking through downtown, eventually ending up at Dixon’s Riverfront Pavilion.

“People are coming out here because they have family members and loved ones who have either overdosed and died or they are still Ryan Wulf struggling,” O’Brien said. “We are showing support for the community at large.”

Growing up, Wulf said he never thought he’d be successful.

“I grew up with an alcoholic mom and dad,” he said. “That’s all I saw, and I didn’t know what it took to be successful.”

Wulf said his addiction began when he was a teenager. He started smoking cigarettes, then marijuana. After that, he was introduced to cocaine.

Then came heroin.

“That really took a grip on me, probably when I was 22,” he said.

Wulf said he has relapsed many times in the past – “I’ve been in and out of jail and rehab” – but things are different this time because he is focusing on himself and his recovery.

“I was getting clean for my family or the court system,” he said. “I realized I needed to get clean for myself. You need to love yourself before you can love others.”

He recently joined the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous, which features a 12-step guide to help addicts recover from drug addiction, and got a job at Art’s Automotive as a mechanic.

Now that he’s clean, Wulf wants to help others on their path to recovery. One piece of

“The first step is admitting you are powerless and your life has become unimaginable,” he said.

“Also, get connected with people who are in recovery; you have to surround yourself with that.”

Stevie Dodillet, 24, is also trying to overcome her addiction.

Dodillet was treated for kidney stones about 2 years ago. She began taking the painkiller Norco and has been addicted ever since.

“I have three kids and it’s really important that I get clean,” Dodillet said. “I also have family and friends who

have overdosed.”

She participates in the Lee County Drug Court, which offers intensive treatment, random and frequent drug screens, enhanced supervision, and active judicial supervision.

“It’s an amazing program that helps people get clean,” Dodillet said.

“Working with Safe Harbor is also a big help.”

FOOD

ECONOMY

Rate hike might be on the other side of the door Increase could come as soon as September AP

After years of pushing super-sized portions, fast-food chains are starting to see the perks of going small.

Like other chains, Arby’s has modified its menu, and it recently introduced a new lineup of sliders (above).

Un-super size me Fast food companies serve up smaller portions for snack attacks NEW YORK (AP) – Forget the Big Mac attack.

Now is the time of the snack attack.

After years of slinging super-sized servings, some fast-food chains are starting to see the benefits of offering daintier bites. That includes mini-hot dogs, little chicken sandwiches and shakes that are smaller than a small.

It’s all intended to entice people who are searching for a small treat between meals, a cheap bite or a little something extra at mealtime.

This week, Arby’s introduced a lineup of sliders, with the miniature versions of its regular sandwiches costing less than $2 each. Earlier this year, Sonic introduced “Lil Doggies� and “Lil Chickies,�or petite hot dogs and chicken sandwiches, for around the

same price. They were so popular the chain is bringing them back this week.

Taco Bell is promoting its “Dare Devil Loaded Grillers,� which are smaller burritos for about a buck.

The more modest serving sizes are intended to serve a variety of eating habits, including the uptick in people snacking and eating smaller meals around the clock.

That means giving people options that don’t make them feel like they’re pigging out.

They aren’t all shrunken versions of regular items, either.

Burger King said the return of its chicken fries is helping push up sales, with many people stopping in to get French fry-shaped fried chicken as a snack. And Dunkin’ Donuts CEO Nigel Travis has said the chain’s new

sandwiches are meant to be snacks – not lunch – to fit with the changing way people are eating.

Snacks on fast-food menus aren’t entirely new; McDonald’s has offered snack wraps for years – and White Castle might as well have patented the slider. But overall, Arby’s Chief Marketing Officer Rob Lynch thinks chains are losing customers to convenience stores like Wawa because they haven’t done a great job with smaller, cheaper bites.

Reduced portion sizes can also be a way to attract deal-seekers, because smaller sizes usually mean smaller prices. That’s an area some fast-food chains are struggling with, as rising costs for ingredients like beef and dairy have made it tough to keep offering traditional dollar menus.

McDonald’s and Wendy’s, for instance, have both replaced their dollar menus with value menus that offer options at a variety of prices. But the CEOs of both chains have admitted they need to do something more to satisfy the value-seeking crowd.

Relatively dainty sizes can also entice people into indulging in treats they would otherwise avoid.

If restaurant chains are lucky, the smaller offerings can also be a way to get regulars to spend more. When Arby’s tested its sliders, the chain said some people add a slider to their orders as a way to sample another sandwich. “They want to try different things, but they don’t want a whole additional sandwich,� said Lynch, the chain’s chief marketing officer

Climate gets another ally: Green Giant

WASHINGTON (AP) – Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Stanley Fischer left the door open Saturday for a Fed rate increase in September, saying the factors that have kept inflation below the central bank’s target level have likely begun to fade.

Fischer said there’s “good reason to believe that inflation will move higher as the forces holding down inflation dissipate further.� He said, for example, that some effects of a stronger dollar and a plunge in oil prices – key factors in holding down inflation – have already started to diminish.

The vice chairman’s remarks came in a speech at an annual economic conference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

Investors have been trying to determine whether the Fed might still be on course to raise interest rates after its Sept. 16-17 meeting given the recent turbulence in financial markets and worries about China’s economy, which had raised doubts.

In addition, inflation has remained persistently below the Fed’s 2 percent target rate.

Fischer’s comment that there was “good reason� to think inflation would increase followed his remark Friday in an interview that “my level of confidence is pretty high� that inflation will return to the Fed’s 2 per-

General Mills will invest millions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. (AP) – General Mills has set an ambitious goal of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions 28 percent by 2025 – not just within its own operations but from farm to fork to landfill.

CEO Ken Powell, in outlining the plan to The Associated Press ahead of the company’s official announcement today, said General Mills is compelled to act because climate change ultimately will be bad for business.

General Mills will invest more than $100 million in energy efficiency and clean energy within its own facilities worldwide, and partner with suppliers to foster more sustainable agricultural practices, including sourcing products from an additional 250,000 acres of organic produc-

tion globally by 2020. “We think that humancaused greenhouse gas causes climate change and climate volatility and that’s going to stress the agricultural supply chain, which is very important to us,� Powell said in an interview at company headquarters in suburban Minneapolis. “Obviously we depend on that for our business, and we all depend on that for the food we eat.�

With annual sales of nearly $19 billion, General Mills is one of the world’s largest food companies, with brands like General Mills cereals, Yoplait yogurt, Pillsbury and Betty Crocker products, Progresso soups, Haagen-Dazs ice cream and Green Giant vegetables.

Because of its size, General Mills can exert

cent target â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a condition the Fed has set for raising rates.

Michael Hanson, senior economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, saw Fischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarks as an explanation of why the Fed might not wait for inflation to move closer to 2 percent before raising rates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line here is, the Fed does expect inflation to pick up,â&#x20AC;?

Hanson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The door is definitely openâ&#x20AC;? to an increase in September.

John Silvia, chief economist at Wells Fargo, said that based on Fischerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments, he thinks the first rate hike will come next month if the August jobs report that will arrive Friday is strong and financial markets settle down.

In his speech Saturday, Fischer repeated the guidelines the Fed is using to determine when to raise its key short-term rate, which has been held near zero since 2008 and has helped keep borrowing rates low throughout the economy. Fischer said the Fed wants to see further job market gains and to be â&#x20AC;&#x153;reasonably confidentâ&#x20AC;? that inflation will rise back up to its target level.

Inflation by the Fedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preferred measure has been running below 2 percent for 3 years. When inflation remains too low, many people postpone purchases and collectively slow consumer spending, the economyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main fuel. Too-low inflation also makes the inflation-adjusted cost of loans more expensive.

ell that didn’t go very well. What we learned in the all-important third exhibition game against the Bengals is the Bears aren’t a very good football team right now.

It is worth noting the Bengals are coming off four consecutive playoff appearances and certainly posed a formidable hurdle for the Bears, so I’m stopping short of calling the Bears flat out bad. The fact is, they are in trouble with little time to find answers before the Packers come to town Sept. 13.

If I had to find one guy on offense who played well in Cincinnati, it would be Jay Cutler.

The embattled quarterback continues to do everything you want him to in Adam Gase’s new offense. He’s protecting the football, showing his athleticism coming out of the pocket, and making nice throws on the rare occasions a receiver comes open.

Expecting Cutler to do more without his top four receivers and a swinging gate at right tackle just isn’t reasonable.

Before we look to the right tackle, I think it’s time to ask just how healthy or limited is Jermon Bushrod?

Loren D. Wolf admittedly isn’t a great bowler, but he’s a giant on the local bowling scene.

He’s worn many hats at Blackhawk Lanes in Sterling the past 36 years, and will be recognized for service with his induction into the Sterling-Rock Falls Men’s Bowling Association Hall of Fame. The ceremony will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 at the Candlelight Inn in Sterling.

“I love bowling,” Wolf said, “so to help

people enjoy it so they keep doing it, that’s a big aim of mine.”

The hall of fame was started in 1976, and now has 36 members. Twenty-one members were elected for ability, while the other 15, including Wolf, were for meritorious service.

Jim Hammer, chairman of the hall of fame committee, and a 2009 inductee, was happy to see Wolf honored.

“The hall of fame is the highest honor that anybody can get in our association,” Hammer said. “It’s a well-deserved honor for Loren.”

Driver steals title from Montoya thanks to bonus points

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

SONOMA, Calif. – Scott Dixon captured a fourth IndyCar championship by winning the season finale Sunday to snatch the title from Juan Pablo Montoya.

Montoya led the points from the season-opening race right until the final lap Sunday. But he finished the race in sixth, which allowed Dixon to tie him in the standings.

Dixon was awarded the title based on wins; Sonoma Raceway was his third victory, while Montoya had only two.

The New Zealand driver entered the race third in the standings, 47 points behind Montoya. The race was worth double points.

“There was still a chance, and that’s what we were hoping for,” Dixon said. “I still can’t believe it. We were such a longshot.”

The victory was the 100th for Chip Ganassi Racing, while a Team Penske driver failed to win a championship in the finale for the ninth time since 2002.

Team Penske was in trouble from the midway point of the race when Montoya hit Will Power. It sent the Colombian to pit lane for repairs, and he was

mired in the middle of the pack for the bulk of the race.

Although he picked off a few positions, his break came eight laps from the end when Sebastien Bourdais spun Graham Rahal.

Needing to get to fifth to win the title, he moved up one spot to seventh when he passed Rahal.

He got up to sixth when

Bourdais was penalized, then had five laps to close a 3.5-second deficit on Ryan Briscoe to move to fifth.

Montoya made a hard charge, ultimately slicing Briscoe’s lead to 1.6 seconds, but he ran out of time to grab that final spot.

He was pragmatic after the race.

“It doesn’t matter what happened,” Montoya said. “We had a few ways to win the championship, and we just threw it away. We didn’t close it.”

His biggest disappoint, it seemed, was from the race being worth double points. It was one of two events this season worth double points – the Indianapolis 500, won by Montoya, was the other.

“When you do this and you put double points on the last race, it doesn’t matter what you’ve done all year,” Montoya said.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – With more than 42,000 fans cheering against them, the Tokyo players found themselves down eight runs in the first inning of the Little League championship game against Lewisberry, Pennsylvania.

That brought out manager Junji Hidaka’s inner Yogi Berra and sparked a record rally that saw the Kitasua Little League pound out 22 hits in an 18-11 comeback victory in a battle of undefeated teams.

“I told the players it doesn’t end until it ends,” Hidaka said through a translator.

Tokyo responded with seven runs in the second, four in the third inning and five in the sixth.

Masafuji Nishijima had four hits and six RBIs, and Shingo Tomita hit two of Tokyo’s five home runs.

Tokyo’s third pitcher, Nobuyuki Kawashima, held Lewisberry in check most of the game, giving up just one run and two hits over five innings.

It was the 10th title for Japan, second behind Taiwan’s record 17. It’s the third title for the

Kitasuna Little League team, which also took home championship pennants in 2001 and 2012.

Tokyo had given up a total of 10 runs in its other tournament games, but Lewisberry scored 10 times and sent 14 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first after falling behind 2-0.

Lewisberry knocked

out starting pitcher Daiki Fukuyama before an out was recorded in the first. Dylan Rodenhaber made his first hit of the tournament count, hitting the ball over the right-field fence for a grand slam.

Jaden Henline added a three-run homer, a shot that went deep into the shrubbery in straightaway center field.

Targets keep dropping Cobb injury appears less serious for Packers than Nelson’s

BY MICHAEL COHEN Milwaukee Journal Standard

AP

Randall Cobb falls to the ground after making a catch during Saturday’s exhibition game against the Eagles in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The Packers receiver left the game after the play with a shoulder injury. it out. We went and got X-rays, and it’s not what we think it could have been.

“We thought it could have been collarbone or something, and it’s not. Fortunately enough, there’s a silver lining.”

The injury to Cobb obscured the bigger picture of a game marred by penalties, defined by a shoddy defensive effort and remembered for the latest slew of unhealthy bodies. The Packers, who trailed by 25 at halftime, fell to the Philadelphia Eagles, 39-26.

But the third exhibition game, often referred to as a dress rehearsal for the starters who receive extended playing time, denigrated into 3 hours of finger crossing for the Packers. In addition to Cobb, who later returned to the sideline in a baseball cap and jacket, right tackle Bryan Bulaga (ankle) and defensive back Micah Hyde (neck) joined the ballooning medical report.

Other key players, such as linebacker Clay Matthews and receiver Davante Adams, whose importance is skyrocketing,

played very few snaps in what felt like an act of genuine preservation.

“It’s tough,” rookie receiver Ty Montgomery said. “But it’s really only tough for like a split second, because you still have a job to do. Personally, you have a job to do. As a team, you still have a job to do. Until we know exactly what’s going on, we don’t know anything, so we’ve just got to keep moving.”

With quarterback Aaron Rodgers a healthy scratch – his aerated offensive line devoid of three starters posed too much risk for the reigning most valuable player – rookie Brett Hundley earned the start. And his very first pass attempt, intended for Cobb, ushered in the wave of concern.

Protected by a hodgepodge quintet of linemen – from left to right: Don Barclay, Lane Taylor, Corey Linsley, Josh Walker and Bulaga – Hundley threw to his left on third and 9. Cobb, defended by Rowe, snatched the ball with both hands and pinned it beneath his left armpit.

Wolf finds joy in teaching game to others FITTED

Wolf is a jack-of-alltrades at Blackhawk Lanes, oiling the lanes every day, fixing equipment that needs to be fixed, and serving as an officer for various leagues, but his primary responsibility is to man the pro shop.

Diaz’ hat trick key to Barb Cup title Golden Warriors soccer beats DeKalb

By SVM Sports Staff

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The horror that spawned after six offensive plays against the Pittsburgh Steelers, when the anterior cruciate ligament in Jordy Nelson’s right knee severed, returned 1 week later and three snaps earlier. The Packers offense appears to be withering.

It happened on the third play of the first possession for the Green Bay Packers, with a rookie quarterback rifling a pass toward the left sideline. Randall Cobb, now the team’s No. 1 receiver, jumped as he attempted to make a catch and landed on his right side. A defender crashed down from above.

The sideline examination by team physician Patrick McKenzie gave way to another somber walk to the locker room for another Packers star. Cobb, who signed a 4-year, $40 million contract in March, was diagnosed with a shoulder sprain and did not return to the game.

Two drives, 2 weeks, two wide receivers down – at least temporarily.

“Randall Cobb had a shoulder, so obviously did not return tonight,” said coach Mike McCarthy, who does not believe the injury is as serious as Nelson’s season-ending knee injury. “No, I don’t think we’re [there] at all.

Saw Randall in the locker room as part of the team prayer.”

NFL Network reported that Cobb did not suffer a broken collarbone.

Cobb told Packers.com that he did not think the injury posed significant problems.

“I just caught the ball, and I was going down to the ground,” Cobb said. “I had a guy land on top of me, and I was just jogging off the field at the end of the series. I could feel the pain. I didn’t know exactly what it was. It was discomfort, and I had [the doctor] check

able in the industry, and whether it would be a good fit at Blackhawk.

When a bowler walks into the pro shop at Blackhawk and indicates a desire for a new ball, the first thing Wolf does is have the person roll a few down the lane. He takes note of the revolution rate, the turn and the speed, then finds equipment that will match the bowler.

“Obviously we’re selling stuff,” Wolf said, “but the customer is going to be happiest in the long term if they’ve got the right equipment that works for them. Some people

come in with something in mind to buy, and I’ll talk them out of it and switch to something else because it wouldn’t work for them.”

There is no down-time for Wolf, even in the summer when league play is not in session.

That’s when Wolf is able to get away from the pro shop a bit more.

“When bowling is light, the work on the equipment is heavy,” Wolf said. “In the summer, we go through all of the machines, tuning them up and cleaning to keep them going.”

Beginning in 2005, Wolf

added teaching to his bowling plate. He was a level I instructor in the beginning, for novice bowlers, then completed Bronze level training, for average bowlers, in 2007.

In 2008, Wolf completed Silver level training, allowing him to work with bowlers who carry averages of 200 or higher. He works with about 150 bowlers off and on, from beginners to those more accomplished.

“I’m not a great bowler,” said Wolf, who carries a 199 average, “but I’ve always enjoyed this sport, and I like to help people.

It’s really fulfilling.”

Steamers trying to fight off spread of injury bug STRIDES

CONTINUED FROM B1 The Rockets had six first downs on their lone touchdown drive, and four more after that. They managed only 91 more yards of total offense to finish with 171 for the game.

“Communication is key,” Newman defender Rhett Scroggins said.

“When you’ve got your linebackers telling the linemen where to go, and the linemen are saying where the linebackers are going, everybody is on key, everybody knows their assignment, and everybody can go at 100 percent.”

Injury

bug

spreads:

Though they’ve only played one game in the 2015 season, the Fulton Steamers are already fighting some adversity.

After starting quarterback Tyler Sweenie went down with an injury to his throwing hand last week, starting fullback Michael

Pidde hopped off the field on his left leg after the first play of Fulton’s second offensive series Friday night against Hall.

“I just broke my ankle,” Pidde said matter-offactly after hopping all the way to the sideline on his own.

The nonchalant tone caused coach Patrick Lower to hesitate before asking, “Wait, what happened?”

“I just broke my ankle,” Pidde said, again as if he were describing a hangnail. “My right ankle, I think it’s broken.”

After sitting on the wet grass for a few minutes, Pidde got up and put a little weight on the ankle before hobbling over the bench in obvious agony.

He was on crutches by the end of the game.

Lower said after the game that the injury might not be as dire as Pidde predicted.

“The trainers said they think it’s just a sprain, and he should start icing it immediately,” Lower said.

“He should be OK, and hopefully he’ll be back next week.”

The timeframe is less certain for Sweenie, who watched Friday’s 21-7 loss from the sideline in a hoodie. But senior Jack Lemke filled in admirably, throwing for 63 yards, including a 33-yard touchdown pass to senior running back Trey Simmons, who also ran 21 times for 96 yards.

Rare lopsided loss: Eastland-Pearl City’s 46-8 loss to Lena-Winslow was its worst since the two teams met on Week 5 of 2011, a 49-6 Panther rout.

Such a lopsided loss after much recent success can be a bitter pill to swallow, despite having just three starters return from a 2A championship season. However, the Wildcatz took away a couple of pluses from their learning experience of a setback.

“We ran the ball up the middle real well,” said junior running back Payton Clouse, who scored

the Wildcatz’s lone touchdown after trailing 46-0 at half. “We carried out our fakes. Toward the end of the game, we started to slam it up on defense a little better, and we think we can build off of that for next week.”

Here’s the kicker: Princeton kicker Tanner Huhne is an average size high schooler with an even bigger leg.

Prior to the Tigers’ 42-0 win over Riverdale Friday, Huhne spent warm ups kicking field goals from the 40-yard-line with a holder, draining every one with room to spare.

His night didn’t start off perfect. Huhne booted the opening kickoff out of bounds, causing a penalty to start the game. And he never had a field goal attempt to truly test that leg out.

But Huhne’s kicking still made an impact. He chipped in all six of his extra-point attempts and bombed a second quarter kickoff for a touchback on the fly.

Fulton’s Trey Simmons is mobbed by teammates Kegan North (45) and Devon Ballard (top) after scoring a touchdown during Friday’s game against Hall in Fulton. The Steamers lost 21-7, and have been bit by the injury bug early in the season.

Cubs starting pitcher Jake Arrieta (in middle with beard) celebrates with teammates after completing a no-hitter Sunday against the Dodgers in Los Angeles. The Cubs won 2-0.

History delivered Arrieta no-hits Dodgers in Los Angeles

BY BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES – Jake Arrieta pitched the sixth no-hitter in the majors this season and second against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 days, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0 victory Sunday night.

Arrieta (17-6) struck out a season-high 12, and became the first 17-game winner in the big leagues by throwing baseball’s third no-hitter in less than 3 weeks.

Astros right-hander Mike Fiers blanked the NL West-leading Dodgers 3-0 on Aug. 21. Never before had Los Angeles been nohit twice in one season.

Arrieta got the benefit of a close call for the official scorer in the third inning, when Kike Her-

nandez reached on a fielding error by second baseman Starlin Castro.

Hernandez hit a onehopper at Castro, who tried to play it on the short hop. The ball bounced off him and rolled away, allowing Hernandez to reach first.

The play was ruled an error, but probably could have gone either way.

“I thought it was a hit,” Arrieta said. “Tough play. Hernandez hit it well. Tough short hop for Castro. They scored it an error, thankfully so, and I was able to finish it off.”

Hernandez was sacrificed to second before Arrieta struck out Jimmy Rollins to end the inning.

Carl Crawford nearly broke up the no-hit bid with two outs in the sev-

enth, but Castro caught Crawford’s line drive up the middle with a running grab.

“Lights-out defense,” Arrieta said.

With the Dodger Stadium crowd roaring, Arrieta struck out all three batters in the ninth: Justin Turner, Rollins and Chase Utley. Those were the same three hitters – in a different order – that Fiers retired to finish off his gem.

With his 116th pitch, Arrieta fanned Utley on a breaking ball to end it.

The 29-year-old pitcher was mobbed by teammates near the mound, and they jumped their way in a huddle over to near the Cubs’ dugout where they high-fived Arrieta.

You can argue that Terrance Mitchel and Sherrick McManis are the two best corners on the team right now, and I get that Kyle Fuller will be one starter and should be inspite of his underwhelming performances to date.

But how Jennings got so deep in Fangio’s doghouse is a mystery.

It is too early to panic and just give up on the 2015 season, but it is also too late to make significant upgrades to the talent on the roster for this season.

To date, we have relied on the premise the Bears will be better this year because the coaching is vastly improved, and the talent is at the least no worse.

After the embarrassment against the Bengals, we have to wonder if we’re right about the talent.

Astrograph It’s Never To Late To Make A Change Monday August 31, 2015 VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Uncertainty will be a factor today. Deal with what’s important to you early on and get responsibilities out of the way. Only then will you find the satisfaction you are searching for.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Refuse to let others take advantage of you or boss you around. Pointless arguments concerning differences of opinion should be avoided. Do what’s right for you, even if others disagree.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Invest in your abilities and talents before anything or anyone else. Time spent traveling, learning or teaching will pay off.

Don’t be tempted by untried, risky, or unrealistic ventures that will separate you from your cash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Try to look for the positive in every situation.

Suspicion, jealousy or a stubborn grudge will give you a sour outlook, unnecessary stress and unpleasant companions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If your routine has become stale or unfulfilling, shake things

up. Get out with friends, try a new experience or walk to an unfamiliar place.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Get off the couch and enjoy motivational outdoor activities or challenges. The fresh air will invigorate you and the good times will lift your spirits and brighten your day.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It’s never too late to make a change. Don’t be afraid to explore new career or lifestyle options. Consider making improvements that you can incorporate into your everyday routine.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t get frustrated about transportation, communication or environmental issues that you cannot control. Relaxing activities such as listening to music or reading a good book will assuage your stress.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Strive to be more accepting and amiable. If you overreact, or get rattled or uptight about inconsequential matters, you are not likely to receive a muchdesired invitation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Catch up with people you haven’t heard from in a while.

Don’t be nervous regarding the changes heading your way. In the end, you will receive unexpected rewards.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -A holiday or excursion will introduce you to innovative, influential people. Be wary of anyone who pressures you to invest in a business, campaign or product. Offer suggestions, not cash.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You need to change your situation at home. Strive for a comfortable and efficient setting.

Host an event or invite a special someone over to enjoy the improvements you have made. ©2015 UFS
