STERLING – Schools in the Sauk Valley had mixed composite ACT scores.

Two districts saw a slight decline in composite ACT scores for the Class of 2015. One local school system saw an increase.

The ACT consists of four tests: English, math, reading and science. A student’s score can range from 1 to 36. The ACT also includes a writing test.

Q&A | ROCK FALLS ALDERMAN GLEN KUHLEMIER

Historian talks past, present, future Kuhlemier: Citizen loyalty key to Twin Cities’ bright future

Most Sauk Valley residents know that longtime Alderman Glen Kuhlemier is a two-time mayor of Rock Falls, but many don’t realize he’s a local historian of sorts. Kuhlemier recently kicked back on his front porch (not surprisingly, with its great view of City Hall) to share some of his vast institutional knowledge.

How many years have you been here, and how did you get involved in local politics?

My family farmed rental land where Lake Carroll is Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com now in Carroll County. I moved to the Sauk Valley in Rock Falls Alderman Glen Kuhlemier has served two terms 1942, and my dad worked at the steel mill, and later as mayor and played a prominent role in the city’s history. In at Parrish-Alford. addition to making local history, Kuhlemier enjoys keeping the stories alive for the next generation.

Brenden West, Dixon: Low bid skepticism: The Dixon Council might reconsider its award to BP&T Co. of Mount Vernon for the Galena Avenue Bridge-painting project. Despite coming in $107,000 lower than the nextclosest bidder, the company was yet to file paperwork to start the project Friday.

Councilman Mitch Tucker, who owns Dixon Paint Co., said the process takes days to complete; BP&T hadn’t filed the paperwork after weeks. The council will meet at 5:30 p.m. today at City Hall, 121 W.

department has not yet confirmed Conderman’s identity, the family confirmed he was killed in the accident. The family is making funeral arrangements, and a vigil was held Sunday night at the crash site.

Ogle County deputies responded at 5 p.m. and found Conderman’s pickup truck fully engulfed in flames in the field, and the second vehicle in the west side of the field.

Witnesses told the sheriff’s department that the passenger car was westbound on Big Mound Road when it failed to stop at a stop sign. Conderman’s pickup was southbound on Route 251.

Conderman was a lifelong Amboy resident and is survived by four sons, Craig, Chris, Corey, and Chad, and 10 grandchildren.

He graduated from the Morrison Institute of Technology and worked for the Illinois Department of Transportation for 39 years. After retirement, he acted as an engineering consultant for IDOT contractors.

Conderman also served in the Army Reserves and was an American Legion member. He enjoyed hunting, fishing and rock collecting.

His wife of 44 years, Victoria Conderman, told the Freeport Journal Standard that the family has received an outpouring of support.

“I cannot believe the amount of people that have come to our house already,” Victoria told the paper. “I guess you just don’t realize just how many people would actually come.”

‘Baseball mom’ standing in against cancer Benefit, softball tournament planned to aid librarian’s battle

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

to find her is a baseball diamond.

The Elgins spent the girls’ childhoods driving across the country ever summer, following along as Ron played in baseball tournaments all over the place – Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, you name it.

The whole crew is very involved in youth softball and baseball leagues.

Each daughter coaches, and Anita, 61, pitches in when needed. She also is a familiar face at Tampico youth league games, where she runs the snack shack and serves on the rec board, heading up the town’s baseball and softball programs.

“When she first got diagnosed, she said life threw her a curveball,” Wendi said, “and she was going to hit it out of the park.”

To help

STERLING – In Tampico, she’s know as “the baseball mom.” In Sterling, you’ll know her as the children’s librarian at Sterling Public Library.

Wherever you know Anita Elgin from, though, it’s almost certain that she’s made your life a happier one, or at least tried to.

“She’s the best person I’ve ever known,” her daughter, Wendi Ketchum, said. “She would do anything for anybody and would give her last penny to someone if they needed it.”

This year marks Anita’s 40th at the library, where generations of children have gotten to know the sound of her

A benefit for Anita Elgin will be held from noon to 7 p.m. Oct. 11 at Long Shot Bar and Grill, 3312 W. Rock Falls Road, Rock Falls.

There will be a silent auction, a 50/50 raffle, a bake sale, a kids corner, and a sand volleyball tournament.

Entertainment will be provided by 815 Productions.

On Oct. 3, there will be a “Strike Out Caner for Anita” softball tournament at Centennial Park. For information on participating, call Jamie Mosher at 815-499-4160. voice as she’s paged through countless children’s books before rapt audiences of youngsters.

Lately, though, she’s been absent. In July 2014, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she is on medical leave from the library.

Most recently, doctor’s termed it stage 3, but now, Ketchum said, it’s spread much farther, so that diagnosis might need to be updated.

“We’re just focusing

on making sure she’s happy,” she said.

Ketchum’s family – which includes her husband, Ron, 60; daughters, Wendi, 30, of Tampico, Jamie Mosher, 34, of Rock Falls, and Erin Shank, 31, of Sterling; and seven grandchildren – is planning a benefit and a softball tournament, which is where the “baseball mom” thing comes in.

Students statewide Voter turnout concerns Kuhlemier average 20.7 on test Q&A

CONTINUED FROM A1

ACT

CONTINUED FROM A1

Newman Central Catholic High School saw the increase, posting a 23.3 composite score, up from 22.8 in 2014.

In the Sterling School District, the overall composite score was 19.88, slightly down from 19.9 last year.

Dixon School District students earned a 19.5 composite score, down from 20.2.

The composite score is the average of the four test results earned during a single exam, rounded to the nearest whole number.

The Class of 2015 results include graduating seniors who took the exam as sophomores, juniors or seniors.

Students across the state posted an overall average score of 20.7, the same as last year and slightly below the national average of 21.

The state composite score is tied with Colorado as the highest of the 13 states that test students.

Newman Principal Kathy Howard is proud of the private school’s higher scores.

“The ACT scores at Newman are a reflection of classroom rigor in terms of both instruction and learning,” Howard said.

“Our students accept and are challenged by rigor. I have to give the Regional Office of Education credit. They have provided training for our teach-

ers, and they have done a good job.

“It’s really been helping the teachers.”

Sterling Principal Jason Austin said 15 students scored 30 or higher on the ACT, the highest number in the school’s history.

“We are not off by much,” Austin said. “We are staying right where we need to be. The biggest thing that we can do is increase the rigor of our courses so kids are more prepared for the ACT.” Sterling officials recommend students begin taking the ACT after completing algebra 2.

Depending on the student, Austin said, this happens in a student’s sophomore or junior year.

“Students can take the test as many times as they want,” Austin said “We will take a student’s highest score.”

SHS students can begin taking the test this month.

Dixon School District officials are not pleased with their scores.

“We don’t care for any decrease,” Principal Mike Grady said. “We are trying to see how we can do better.”

Test scores don’t tell the whole story, though, Grady said.

“It’s just one test, and it doesn’t say if a student will be successful in life or not. Any one test is not a good indicator for what a student can do. If you are determining if a student is successful or not based on one test, I don’t think that is fair.”

After serving in the Marines, I came to Rock Falls, and starting in 1955, I worked at the post office for more than 30 years. I felt like I owed the community something, and ran for alderman in 1971.

It’s kind of funny, I won by three votes, and two of those ended up getting thrown out. I served in the 1st Ward until 1979.

The Hatch Act said postal service workers couldn’t run for anything if they declared a party, so the only reason I could run for mayor was because the city didn’t require that you declare. I was mayor from 1983 to 1987, and again from 1993 to 1997, and I’ve been a 2nd Ward alderman since 2003.

In your unofficial capacity as local historian, what do you consider to be the most intriguing story from the area’s past?

I’ve always found the building of the Hennepin Canal to be interesting. Its innovative use of concrete and other engineering breakthroughs made it a prototype for the Panama Canal.

Historically, who do you believe had the greatest impact on the area?

Former Mayor Louis Pignatelli Sr. is one, for his work on Interstate 88, but I think the most influential person was drummer Louie Bellson, the “Master of Jazz”.

He was born in 1924 on Eighth Avenue in Rock Falls. He was a pioneer in developing drum sets, and he performed all over the world with some of the greatest musicians we’ve ever seen. He came back here to visit for his 85th birthday.

Who is the most unique character you have encountered over the years?

That would probably be an entire family – the Signor family that ran a junkyard in town. They were great, big-hearted people, but Hap was known for never wearing shoes while he worked, and they would have muskrat pelts curing in the oven. Someone else I’ll always remember was a woman named McNinch, who was one of the youngest widows of the Civil War. She lived on East Sixth Street by the canal, and died in the 1940s.

What are the biggest changes you have seen in city government from the time you started?

We used to have up to 1,700 voters turn out for elections, and public participation seems

During your time as mayor or alderman, which local events are most memorable?

The coming of the I-88 tollway, and the 125th birthday celebration in Rock Falls stand out.

The way the city came together for that event was very special. In the area, the 1983-84 steel strike was a serious situation. It lasted for 85 days, and it could have closed the plant back then. Tensions were high, and it could have really gotten out of control.

Who is the most impressive person you’ve ever met in politics at the state level, and why?

Probably Barack Obama when he had a kickoff event in 2004 at Centennial Park. He was a Senate candidate then, and his career was taking off after his keynote speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Gliniewicz, who also served in the U.S. Army, told dispatchers last Tuesday that three men ran into a swampy area and requested a second unit. He died from a gunshot wound shortly after backup officers found him about 50 yards from his squad car.

Attendees at the service included Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner and his wife, Diana, both of whom also hugged Gliniewicz’s wife and kids.

On a stage next to the coffin was a policeman’s uniform and medals pinned to it. Part of the display included a statue of a soldier, standing at attention and clutching a rifle.

Attorney expects trial in Fairdale looting case

man Valley, has pleaded not guilty to looting, theft and attempted theft in connection with stolen items following the EF-4 tornado that killed two Fairdale women and destroyed much of the rural DeKalb County community April 9.

Burtch was released from the DeKalb County jail April 27 after posting $500 bail. If he is con-

victed of looting, Burtch could face probation or one to 3 years in prison.

He was in town helping a family member clean up after the tornado, when police say a resident saw him loading his vehicle with items donated to the Kirkland Fire Department for the tornado’s victims, court records show.

SYCAMORE – The attorney for a man charged with stealing donated goods intended for the victims of a deadly tornado says she thinks the case will go to trial.

Mourners walked by his flag-draped coffin, many hugging his wife and their four sons.

WASHINGTON SPOTLIGHT

Wacky races: Lack of civility falls to new low ‘Great One’ tells of Alaskan peak, not these knaves

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

EDITORIALS FROM YESTERYEAR | 1915

From our archives: Driving autos ‘is a sober man’s job’ Note to readers – Sauk Valley Media reprints editorials and articles from the past as a regular Monday feature. The following items appeared in the Gazette between Sept.

4 and 9, 1915.

What we thought: 100 years ago

to shove it over but it was too heavy and full of water to move it. The new owner is now taking it apart and will float the planks down stream. – Sept. 7, 1915

Annual picnic was a success

Looks like wisdom

“S

afety first” is getting to be a nationwide watchword. At Dixon, the city council has passed an ordinance which will levy a heavy fine on any man caught driving an auto under the influence of liquor.

So many automobile accidents have been traceable to just one drink too many, which results often in speeding up until the high spots are only touched occasionally, that Dixon officials have taken steps to break up the practice of intoxicated men driving autos or fining them heavily when caught.

Of course, the damage will generally be done before they are caught.

A movement of this kind may be made in Sterling, and it looks like wisdom. The auto is a new machine, it requires new regulations, and while accidents occur frequently where the driver is perfectly sober, too many of them can be traced to the bracing effects of several fingers full of Kentucky accelerator, and any movement that will make it a serious offense for a man to get into a machine and begin hitting the high spots while unduly exuberant from a too intimate acquaintance with old John Barleycorn, will have the approval of the ninety and nine who believe driving an auto with the thousands now on the road is a sober man’s job. – Sept. 9, 1915

More Dollar Days The enterprising business houses of Sterling are again giving the

An unidentified driver and her carload of passengers pose for a photo in this early 20th-century shot.

A century ago, a Gazette editorial praised the Dixon city council for cracking down on drunken driving. people of this community and the country surrounding an opportunity to enjoy two days when special bargain prices will be made.

Friday and Saturday, Sept. 10 and 11 next, have been appointed as Dollar Days, and special prices will prevail in all the stores and business houses that have decided to unite on this occasion to present the best obtainable bargains to their patrons.

These Dollar Days are growing in popularity all over the country, having been tried out in many towns throughout the country. At first they were made gala days, and much expense was incurred to entertain the people. Later it became evident that most people who desired to take advantage of the low prices offered were too busy to care for entertainment of a special nature, and the money expended heretofore in many places for the entertainment of visitors has been found better expended in making low prices on many lines of goods.

Dollar Days in Sterling have been very successful heretofore, and

with the best crops in many years, and fine prospects for a banner corn crop, this rich community can well afford to take advantage of the bargains that are to be on display Friday and Saturday.

The latch string is not only out, but the door has been unlocked and the key thrown away so far as Sterling is concerned, for Friday and Saturday, and everybody who lives in auto or train or carriage distance of this city is invited to come along and stock up at prices that those needing fall and winter supplies cannot afford to pass by. – Sept. 7, 1915

The unsightly barge The old barge which has been hanging on the upper part of the dam below the First Avenue bridge for the past eight months is being removed today.

The barge was bought of the I.N.U. last year and the owner sought to float it down the river for his own use in the farm below Sterling eight miles. It got stuck on the apron of the dam and there it remained.

Efforts have been made

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Monday was a banner day for the Knights of Columbus lodge of this city, for their annual picnic held at the Mineral Springs park was a grand success. The beautiful grove fairly swarmed with people throughout the day.

From early in the morning to late in the afternoon all kinds of conveyances poured into the park bringing large loads.

Due to the threatening weather, the Deer Grove base ball club, which was to play the local team in the morning, failed to show up but came in the afternoon, making it necessary for the playing of a double header.

At noon, the Sterling band put in its appearance and throughout the afternoon furnished music for the picnic, which was highly appreciated by all present.

The most exciting race on the afternoon’s program was the mule race between John McGuire and William Flock and which was won by Mr. McGuire. – Sept. 7, 1915

City vs. country The city man needn’t sniff at the country man because he can go to moving picture shows at night and the country man has to commune with the stars.

It looks as if the city man will continue to walk for some time, while the country man is getting next to the swift riding habit right along.

Who owns the automobiles around the picture shows? – Sept. 4, 1915

WASHINGTON – Just when you thought the presidential political process couldn’t get much wackier, it has!

You have to marvel at the thought of former Vice President Cheney, who has ridiculed, mocked, disdained and attacked everything the Obama administration has done, clamoring on the sidelines for Vice President Joe Biden to get into the race.

Cheney, one of the worst vice presidents in U.S. history, is touting Biden because he thinks Biden might hurt Hillary Clinton’s chances of being the Democratic nominee.

And why are we listening to anything Cheney says, anyway?

If Biden runs, he might well toughen Clinton up and round out the muchneeded debate on real issues. But nobody should listen to anything Cheney says about Biden or anything else. Former President George W. Bush certainly doesn’t.

Speaking of issues, something that is not an issue, despite a lot of bloviating by Republicans, is whether Denali in Alaska should keep its recent name of Mount McKinley, for the Republican president assassinated 6 months into his second term in 1901 and who never set foot in Alaska.

Denali means Great One, a nickname never applied to McKinley, although he is considered a slightly above-average president whose legacy was beginning and winning the Spanish American War, protectionism, and advocacy of the gold standard.

His successor was Theodore Roosevelt.

The idea of Donald Trump, the New York real estate tycoon, lambasting President Obama for restoring the Native American name for the mountain is silly.

NEXT WE HAVE CNN suddenly changing its insistence it would permit only 10 candidates to its big Sept. 16 Republican debate and saying it now will admit former HewlettPackard CEO Carly Fiorina to the adults’ table.

(The separate debate among “second-tier” candidates was dubbed the kids’ table when Fox News hosted last month. It was also inexplicably called the happy hour debate.)

That any news organization, whether it is Fox News or CNN, thinks it should decide who is a first-tier candidate and who is second-tier before any votes have been cast is appalling. Polls go up; polls go down.

Another weird thing is that after Hillary Clinton

went to such lengths to keep her emails private, they’re now available to everyone. The most interesting disclosure thus far is that Secretary of State Clinton didn’t know how to charge her iPad or whether she had Wi-Fi access.

We also have to raise our eyebrows at New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, both desperately eager to be president, disparaging Jimmy Carter right after the former president disclosed he is battling brain cancer.

Christie said Obama is so weak on foreign policy, he makes Carter look strong, while Cruz said Obama and Carter share the “same failed domestic Donald policies, Trump same misery, The GOP stagnation presidential hopeful’s and malcriticism of aise, same President feckless and Obama over the renaming naive foreign of Mount policy.”

McKinley is Cruz ear“silly,” writes lier mocked columnist Ann McFeatters.

Biden, urging supporters to just mention the vice president’s name at a party and people laugh – “You don’t even need a punchline.

I promise you it works.”

He said this just after Biden’s son died from brain cancer.

Trump has stomped all over the so-called 11th commandment popularized by Ronald Reagan: “Thou shalt not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”

Now Christie and Cruz seem to cast aside all sense of decency. Just what we need – more blatant displays of incivility from those who want to be president.

Maybe it’s all those fried things on sticks the candidates devoured in Iowa.

Maybe it’s that we’re starting to know who they really are.

Daughters not happy about mom’s pregnancy Dear Abby, I am 44, and my husband of 20 years is 48. On a recent second honeymoon trip to Sweden, I became pregnant. We already have two beautiful, intelligent daughters, 17 and 14. One started university this fall, while the other’s a high school sophomore.

My problem is not so much the high-risk pregnancy, but rather that both of my girls strongly oppose the idea of us keeping the baby. Not only were they not thrilled when I broke the news to them, but they also cried.

My younger daughter is now giving me the cold shoulder. She doesn’t like change and thinks

talk to them. Please give me some advice.

– Expecting in Canada

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

having a sibling will disrupt our life. My older girl said she is glad she will be at the university so she won’t have to have anything to do with the baby.

I am deeply hurt by their reactions. I need help to

Dear Expecting, Far more important than how your immature and self-centered daughters feel about your pregnancy is how you and your husband feel about it. Teenagers don’t like to consider their parents as sexual beings, which may be part of the reason for their reaction.

Not knowing your girls, I’m not sure what they need to hear other than you love them and hope at some point they will become mature enough to accept the situation.

But do not allow them to

put you on the defensive.

You don’t owe them an apology. As a matter of fact, they owe you and their father one.

Dear Abby, My mother-in-law was in a car accident a few months ago and her car was totaled. Since then, my husband takes her food shopping and wherever else she has to go.

She has made no effort to buy a new car. She’s content with calling him for every need.

She wasn’t injured and she isn’t disabled. If she doesn’t want to do something, her excuse is, “I’m an old lady. I can’t do it.”

It’s annoying. She doesn’t

come visit or call to check on us. She makes us feel like our family has to do everything for her – while she claims she’s “independent.”

This has been an issue for a while and I’m sick of it. I suggested she do her grocery shopping online and have it delivered to her house. Once again, she gave the same excuse.

I think she needs a man so I can have my husband back. What do you think?

– Over it in Philadelphia Dear Over it, From the tone of your last remark it’s clear you and your mother-in-law aren’t close and probably never were. Philadelphia

has a very large transit system. Surely there is alternate transportation for her – buses, taxis, Uber and Lyft come to mind. If she was so traumatized by the accident that she’s afraid to get behind the wheel again, she may need a therapist to overcome it.

Whatever the reason, this won’t stop until you and your husband quit enabling her. Give her a list of what’s available and “suggest” she use it the next time she calls wanting a ride. If she needs groceries, offer to order them online for her yourself if she isn’t computer literate. And your husband should also offer to help her find a new car.

By Gina Kraman Almost 75 percent of all weather-related accidents happen on wet pavement, according the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration.

That’s more that 950,000 U.S. accidents a year, all due to wet, rainy roads.

To avoid an accident, driving experts from auto clubs to insurance companies offer the same tips: Slow down, as tires lose traction on wet surfaces, making vehicles more difficult to handle. Increase your following distance, as slick roads increase braking time. Avoid your car’s cruise control feature, to allow immediate response to variable driving conditions.

Even before the first raindrops fall, drivers are advised to be prepared, by replacing their windshield wiper blades seasonally, or when they’re brittle and don’t clean the glass in one swipe. Double-check that all headlights, turn signals, and brake lights are functional for maximum visibility.

In Illinois, drivers are required to use their headlights while driving in the rain.

While a car’s daytime running

lights fulfill the law, turning on the headlights, too, offers added brightness and safety during rainy weather.

Proper tire inflation levels and tread depth keep drivers safe, rain or shine. The Triple A Motor Club suggests checking the tread depth by inserting a quarter, upside down, into the tire groove: “If you can see past Washington’s head, it’s time to start shopping for new tires.”

Other advice includes avoid hard braking or sharp turns to minimize skidding.

If drivers feel the car skidding, Triple A suggests: “Continue to look and steer in the direction you want the car to go. Avoid slamming on the brakes, as this will further upset the vehicle’s balance and make it harder to control.”

Drivers are cautioned to never drive through moving water, or water that comes above the bottom of the car doors. It’s unsafe, and may disable a car’s electrical system.

When you are 6-4, how do you bid?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Yogi Berra said, “You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.”

Look at the North hand in today’s diagram. It has 6-4 distribution. After opening one heart and hearing partner respond one spade, would you rebid two diamonds or two hearts?

Some columnists recommend that with a minimum 6-4, you bid the six-card suit twice, then (if there is another round) show the four-card suit. But with extra values, you bid six, four, six.

This is definitely wrong with six spades and four hearts; show those majors.

At least rebidding the sixcard suit limits the hand to 12-14 points, when rebidding

in a new suit shows some 12-17 points. But it risks missing a much better fit in the second suit.

In this auction, South should have passed out two hearts. His two-no-trump

rebid promised a maximum pass. True, North might have continued with three diamonds, backing into the best contract. Two hearts and three diamonds would surely have made. Two no-trump was another story.

West led his fourth-highest club, East put in the nine, and South won with his king.

Now declarer should have started to establish dummy’s heart suit. With East holding the spade ace, the contract could have been made. But South erred by finessing dummy’s diamond jack and running that suit, ending in his hand. Then he led the spade king to East’s ace.

The play continued: heart to the ace, club to the queen and ace, two more clubs, heart to East’s king, spade to South’s queen, and a spade to West for down two. © 2015 UFS

BAGS PLAYERS WHET APPETITE FOR FOOD, DRINK, COMPETITION

AP

President Barack Obama speaks Monday at the Greater Boston Labor Council Labor Day Breakfast in Boson. Obama will sign an executive order requiring federal contractors to offer their employees up to 7 days of paid sick leave per year.

Obama acts in spirit of Labor Day Courting unions, president pushes paid sick leave BOSTON (AP) – Courting unions on Labor Day, President Barack Obama denounced Republicans for a “constant attack on working Americans” and said he was using his executive power to force federal contractors to give paid sick leave to their employees.

Obama was met with resounding applause at a major union rally and breakfast in Boston on Monday when he said he had signed the executive order aboard Air Force One as he flew in to mark Labor Day. He said Republicans who claim the mantle of middle-class protectors are talking big, but they “have to walk the walk.”

Obama said opponents of his economic policies “won’t let facts or evidence get in their way.”

“You just wait, you look up at the sky and prosperity will come raining down on us from the top of whatever high-rise in New York City,” he said sarcastically. “But that’s not how the economy works.” He added that the GOP’s mindset has been “wrecking the economy for a long, long time.”

The Labor Day gesture to workers’ groups came as Obama works to smooth over tensions

with the labor movement over his trade agenda.

Major unions are opposing Obama’s push for sweeping new trade deals with Asia and Europe, with some threatening to work against Democrats who voted to support those talks in Congress.

Unions have warned that the deals could lead to the widespread job elimination. Obama has signed a law providing money to retrain workers if their jobs get shipped overseas.

Under the executive order, employees working on federal contracts gain the right to a minimum of 1 hour of paid leave for every 30 hours they work. Stretched out over 12 months, that’s up to 7 days per year. The order will allow employees to use the leave to care for sick relatives as well, and will affect contracts starting in 2017 – just as Obama leaves office.

Business groups said Obama’s order would make it harder for small businesses to retain federal contractors and could hinder economic growth.

“Once again President Obama is using the federal procurement system to do something it was never been designed to do: usurp the legislative authority of Congress to determine appropriate workplace policies,” said Randy Johnson, senior vice president of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

LAKE HURON

3-D images shed light on shipwrecks Researchers able to pinpoint even minute changes over time ABOARD THE RESEARCH VESSEL STORM (AP) – Marine archaeologists are diving deep into Lake Huron’s past by creating 3-D images of the many shipwrecks resting far below the surface, giving researchers and the public a far more detailed look at these hidden historical treasures than traditional photos or video can provide.

The researchers have begun mapping shipwrecks in the only freshwater national sanctuary with imaging technology that’s getting its first full-fledged, deep-water workout by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which manages the 4,300 square-mile Thunder Bay National Marine Sanc-

tuary with the state of Michigan. They are rapidly creating accurate 3-D images of the sunken vessels by feeding a series of photos into a software program.

Researchers have been photographing and shooting video of the wrecks for years, but until now lacked the ability to quickly, accurately and cheaply create more illuminating 3-D images, particularly with the limited budget and time they have on dives of at least 130 feet. The new images are a great benefit, allowing them to assess and monitor the wrecks with a precision that can detect even minute changes over time.

“This is the first project we’ve really rolled it

that extends to the maritime border with Canada.

Among the highlights was a trek down to the Defiance, a 110-foot schooner that sunk in 1854 after colliding with the John J. Audubon. One of the sanctuary’s earliest wrecks, it sits nearly 200 feet below the surface a few miles off the coast of Presque Isle, a community in Michigan’s northeastern Lower Peninsula.

The archaeologists marAP veled at its “amazing” Russ Green, deputy superintendent and research preservation – deck hardcoordinator at the Thunder Bay National Marine ware and cabins intact, Sanctuary, looks over a rendering of the shipwreck masts still standing – as if Defiance on July 22 before diving to it in Lake Huron, the Defiance could set sail if only it resurfaced. Hoyt near Presque Isle, Michigan. described it as “a storyout on,” said Joe Hoyt, Hoyt and team mem- book wreck – what you’d the diver in charge of the bers recently spent sever- imagine a shipwreck to imaging technique known al days aboard the Storm, look like but never is.”

It is an ideal test subas photogrammetry. “The a Great Lakes-based envicool thing about this is it’s ronmental research ves- ject for the 3-D imagphoto-realistic but it’s also sel, as part of an excur- ing technology, which perfect 3-D, so you’re see- sion to eight deep-water could become standard ing all sides of it. And it’s dive sites in the sanctu- for analyzing shipwrecks perfectly scaled.” ary’s expanded territory everywhere.

Before donning his wetsuit, tanks and grabbing his camera, Hoyt detailed his image-capturing itinerary with fellow divers and other crewmembers: “My plan is to start up at the bow and [go] at a 45-degree outboard angle, do a total sweep around the entire thing,” he said. “When done, I’ll drop down to bottom near the bow and get some of that, then do sort of an arc down the center line of the whole thing.”

With limited time at the wreck due to the depths, Hoyt set to work and managed to cover all the ground in under a half-hour.

The Defiance was one of three mid-19th century schooners within a few miles of one another that were given the photogrammetry treatment over successive days. The team found the Windiate and Spangler as well-preserved as the Defiance.

Big milestone for Mike Newman beats Fulton for Papoccia’s 300th win

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5555 @BWest_svm

STERLING – On Sept. 6, 1980, trailing 12-8 with seconds left, Comets quarterback Steve Schreiner connected with his brother Brad on a 22-yard touchdown pass, giving Newman Central Catholic a 14-12 walk-off victory over Rock Falls.

“I remember it like it was yesterday,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said Saturday, reflecting on his first career win. “The Schreiner brothers. We called a reverse pass and won the game.”

Almost 35 years to that day, Papoccia’s Comets did it again, beating Fulton 28-16. Between his first win and his latest are

298 others that have earned Papoccia a rare milestone.

He is now the sixth football coach in IHSA history to win 300 games.

Yet it’s not as meaningful to Papoccia as other things.

“It just means I’ve been here a long time,” he said, grinning.

“There are a lot of great coaches that just never stayed in it this

long. I have because I love the kids. I love the school. I love the families.”

The coach was prouder of his team’s performance in a game decided by timely play-making.

John Wilson saved Newman’s opening drive by recovering a Brady Rude fumble in the end zone to give the Comets an 8-0 first quarter lead. Steamers returner Trey Simmons was eyeing a touchdown during a second-quarter kickoff return, until Hunter Webb’s big hit forced another fumble that was recovered by Comet senior Garrett Stringer.

Redbird on rise

ROCK FALLS – Someday, some way, the Morrison boys golf team may beat Riverdale in a dual or a tournament.

There was no catching the Rams, however, at the Rock Falls Invitational on Saturday, due in large part to Tyler Bussert.

Bussert, who won the Three Rivers Conference championship last fall as a freshman, began his sophomore season with 4-under-par 66 at Rock River Golf and Pool. He earned medalist honors in his team’s first Saturday invitational by nine shots over his nearest competitor, Forreston’s Bryan Edler.

Rivera is a redshirt junior linebacker for the Redbirds, and he started Saturday’s game in Iowa City at weak-side linebacker after spending all of last season learning all three linebacker positions.

After spending his first 2 years in Normal redshirting and playing on the practice squad, Rivera was a backup linebacker and special teamer during ISU’s run to the FCS national championship game last season.

Fowler rallies in Boston Rickie Fowler won the Deutsche Bank Championship with one big putt. Henrik Stenson might have lost it with one big mistake.

Fowler rallied from two shots behind with five holes to play by making a 40-foot birdie putt on the 14th. He played flawless the rest of the way for a 3-under 68 and a one-shot victory Monday at the TPC Boston.

Stenson never trailed until his tee shot on the par-3 16th came up short and bounced into the water for a double bogey. One shot behind, the Swede could never catch up and had to settle for a 70.

It was Stenson’s second straight runner-up finish in the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Murray bows out at U.S. Open Often able to spur himself by letting out some anger by destroying his equipment, third-seeded Andy Murray only briefly managed to get into his match Monday at the U.S. Open, a 7-6 (5), 6-3, 6-7 (2), 7-6 (0) loss to 15th-seeded Kevin Anderson in the fourth round.

Murray, who had reached at least the quarterfinals in his previous 18 Grand Slam tournaments dating back to 2010, could not overcome 25 aces and 81 total winners by Anderson.

Anderson will face Stan Wawrinka in the quarterfinals. Two other fourthround men’s matches ran late into Monday night: No. 2 Roger Federer vs. No. 13 John Isner, and No. 6 Tomas Berdych vs. No. 12 Richard Gasquet.

On the women’s side, two quarterfinals are set: No. 2 Simona Halep vs. No. 20 Victoria Azarenka, and No. 5 Petra Kvitova vs. No. 26 Flavia Pennetta.

Bears make moves over weekend The Chicago Bears waived right tackle Jordan Mills over the weekend, but are keeping outside linebacker Willie Young.

Young was not among the 20 players released as the Bears trimmed their roster to 53 before Saturday’s deadline. Chicago also kept David Fales as the third quarterback behind Jay Cutler and Jimmy Clausen.

The Bears waived 15 players, including linebacker David Bass and guard Michael Ola. Linebacker Mason Foster and tight end Dante Rosario were among four vested veterans who had their contracts terminated.

Defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff was placed on the reserve/suspended list.

He was suspended the first three games by the league for violating the substance abuse policy, stemming from a DUI in 2013.

Friday’s silver linings Wildcatz, Rockets find positive signs in losses

On the calendar Local events

By SVM Sports Staff

Today

After being held to just 52 yards of offense during the first half against West Carroll on Friday, Eastland-Pearl City gained 60 yards on its first possession out of halftime.

The Wildcatz were balanced and called six run plays and six pass plays during the 12-play drive that stalled at the Thunder 8-yard line, and ended with a turnover on downs.

Two possessions later, the Wildcatz methodically marched down the field on a 13-play, 61-yard drive that ended with an interception in the end zone. But after being bottled up early on, EPC showed signs of life despite being blown out 40-0.

“You love to see that,” Wildcatz coach Randy Asche said. “Sure, maybe [West Carroll] isn’t as up and into it as they were in the beginning of the game, but it’s good to be able to put a string of plays together.”

Added West Carroll coach Matt Leitzen: “I’m not mad at all that they were passing there.

I loved it. No one wants to get shut out. We didn’t want to [in Week 1]. I liked their fight all the way until the end.”

Rock Falls’ Braeden Westfall (22) fights for extra yards near the goal line against Marengo on Friday night at Hinders Field. The Rockets found some positives to take away from their 50-8 loss. perspective after its 50-8 home loss to Marengo, but upon further review, there were a few silver linings.

Junior running back Isaiah Harris carried the ball six times in the second half and gained 66 yards, highlighted by a 28-yarder that helped set up the Rockets’ only score.

Rock Falls did not turn the ball over. The Rockets fumbled once, but was able to recover.

Also on the positive side is the health of junior running back Blake Wind, who got the worst of a helmet-tohelmet exchange with a Marengo defender late in the first quarter. He was tended to by paramedics, and exited the

field on a gurney.

It was all in the name of following proper protocol, and by Monday, Wind was back in action. He participated in practice, and is a go for Friday’s home game against Oregon.

Beating the heat: The mercury topped out at 93 degrees when the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers fresh-soph team took Mosher Field in their tilt against Orion.

To make matters even more difficult, in addition to helmets, gear, and pads, the Panthers donned black jerseys which absorbed the sunlight that came from the west.

Panther sophomore center Trace Shoup took time to keep cool with

plenty of water and a seat on a cooler top next to the large, circular fan positioned near the bench.

“It’s a struggle, but we’ve practiced in the heat all week long,” said the 5-foot-7, 300-pound Shoup. “We’re getting used to it. You’ve just got to fight through it.”

With temperatures in the 90s throughout the week, many coaches have prepared for situations such as this. Dedication and water – lots of it – were key in keeping the Panthers healthy and alert.

“We’ve been hydrating all week long,” Shoup said. “Our coaches have been stressing to us to having nothing but water. No sugar.”

Gebhardt was third in 16:01.

Also for Sterling, Cody Lund was 13th in 17:02.

Locals fare well at Oregon: Rock Falls runners Brayden Hamblen and Seth Williams went 2-3 at the Oregon Open held at Oregon Park West. No team scores were kept.

Hamblen finished with a time of 16:12, with Williams next at 16:37.

The winner was Rockford Christian’s Nick Monkemeyer in 15:58.

Masterson covered a 5,000meter course in 17:22.

Men’s cross country

Sauk sixth at Western Illinois invite: The Skyhawks placed sixth

out of six teams at Western Illinois on Friday, scoring 131 points.

Augustana was first with 17, while Bradley (51) and Illinois Central College (102) rounded

out the top three.

Quincy Coomes covered the 6-kilometer course in 21:56.1 to lead Sauk, while Peter Delafuente (22:09.0) added a 33rdplace finish.

Former Newman standout and Augustana freshman Bryson Reyes finished 29th in 21:25.0.

Boys golf Buck leads Hawks: Carson Buck carded a 4-over-par 75 to lead Oregon to a second-place finish at the seven-team Lena-Winslow Inviational at Wolf Hollow.

The Hawks had a team score of 495, 10 more than Byron. Buck’s score was good for third overall, behind just Matt Tamar of Rockford Lutheran, who had 73, and Trent Snodgrass of Byron, who had 74.

Fulton was fourth as a team at 534. Leading the Steamers was Brett Terrock with a 77, good for sixth place overall.

Comets capitalize on Steamers’ miscues MILESTONE

CONTINUED FROM B1

Many credited Jacob Heiderscheidt with the play of the game. With Fulton trailing 16-9 in the third, Heiderscheidt recovered a muffed Fulton punt return that set the Comets up at the Steamers’ 2. Rude scored on the next play, making it 22-9 and preserving the win.

“Jacob saved us,” said Rude, who had a gamehigh 150 rushing yards.

“He set the foundation for that score.”

The misfires haunted Fulton (0-2).

“In every ball game, there’s three to four

plays that break the game,” Steamers coach Patrick Lower said. “You can’t give Newman the ball on the 2-yard line.”

The following Fulton drive sputtered to a turnover on downs.

Newman then churned up an 18-play, 8 minute, 60-yard drive, capped by Logan Whitman’s 2-yard rushing score, making it 28-9 with 9:02 left in the game.

“We just really started pounding them and kept the ball out of their hands,” Papoccia said.

“This was a complete team win. We’ve had plenty of them. That’s the only way we can be successful.”

Fulton scored on the

next drive, on a 25-yard pass from Tyler Sweenie to Simmons.

Newman ate up the remaining 4 minutes.

After the game, both teams and staffs met at midfield to commemorate Papoccia’s accomplishment. Lower – who was 4 when Papoccia recorded his first win – celebrated his opponent, calling him a revered figure in local sports.

“He’s obviously an outstanding football coach, but an even better person,” Lower said, adding he often calls Papoccia for advice.

“He’s always told me what I needed to hear, not necessarily what I wanted to hear. We have

the utmost respect for that program.”

As a player, Rude said it was meaningful for him to be a part of Papoccia’s 300th. He’d like to see the coach reach the 400win mark because, Rude said, it would mean he’ll impact future players.

Papoccia doubts he’ll be around that long. But the Newman community, he added, has made it easy to stick around for 35 years.

“People just don’t understand what it’s like to coach here,” Papoccia said. “Our fans, our families – they’re super people.

“Is that everywhere?

I don’t know. I’ve only coached here.”

ROUNDUP

OHIO ST. 42, VIRGINIA TECH 24

Illini roll past Kent State Iowa in total control over ISU; Wildcats upset Stanford

By The Associated Press

Wes Lunt passed for four touchdowns, and Illinois routed Kent State 52-3 in the opener for both teams on Saturday, a day after it was rescheduled due to lightning.

An Illini team looking to bounce back from a season of off-field turmoil took a 38-0 halftime lead and cruised to the win. Lunt was 11 of 19 for 162 yards before heading to the bench in the third quarter with Illinois comfortably ahead.

The Illini offense didn’t put up huge numbers on the day – 342 total yards – but it didn’t have to.

Three of Illinois’ touchdowns were on single-play drives, covering 5, 6 and 7 yards.

The Illini defense held Kent State scoreless until Shayne Hynes hit a 43-yard field goal with 8:30 left in the game. Golden Flash quarterback Colin Reardon was 15 of 34 for 156 yards, and threw three interceptions.

Iowa 31, Illinois St. 14: C.J. Beathard threw for 211 yards and a touchdown in his first career start at Kinnick Stadium, and the Hawkeyes rolled past last year’s FCS runners-up.

Beathard also ran for two touchdowns, LeShun Daniels Jr. had 123 yards rushing, and Jordan Canzeri had 118 all-purpose yards for Iowa, which led 14-0 after its first two drives went 81 yards and 99 yards, and took up 13 of the first 17½ minutes. The Hawkeyes built the lead to 31-0 by midway through the fourth quarter.

The Hawkeye defense held the Redbirds to just 231 yards – roughly half of what they averaged per game last season – and limited ISU to just 35 yards on the ground. Jake Kolbe threw for 147 yards and two meaningless late TDs for Illinois State.

Anthony Walker broke up two passes and had a fumble recovery, and Kyle Queiro intercepted Kevin Hogan’s pass in the end zone with about a minute left to seal the win.

Thorson scored the game’s only TD in the second quarter. He also threw for 105 yards, completing 12 of 24 passes. Jack Mitchell kicked three field goals, including a careerlong 49-yarder.

N. Illinois 38, UNLV 30: Joel Bouagnon ran for three second-half

OSU avenges lone 2015 loss by dominating Virginia Tech

win their season opener in DeKalb.

Bouagnon scored from 16 yards out to give the Huskies the lead, 24-20 with 1:24 left in the third quarter, then added runs of 1 and 29 yards in the fourth quarter to push the lead to 38-23 with 8:10 left.

Bouagnon carried 21 times for 152 yards for Northern Illinois, and Drew Hare was 21 of 26 for 360 yards and two touchdowns.

Blake Decker, who threw for 319 yards, got UNLV on the board with a 64-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter, and fired a 41-yard scoring pass with 5:26 left to cut the Huskies’ lead to 38-30, but a drive for a chance to tie the game stalled at midfield.

BLACKSBURG, Va. – Braxton Miller looks very comfortable at wide receiver, and Cardale Jones picked up right where he left off last season.

No. 1 Ohio State is loaded.

Miller scored two touchdowns, including an electrifying 53-yard run, and the star-studded Buckeyes began their title defense with a 42-24 win over Virginia Tech on Monday night.

Jones, whose status as the starter was not known until he came out for the first offensive series, threw for two touchdowns and ran for another score as Ohio State avenged a 35-21 home loss to Virginia Tech last season and earned its 14th straight win overall.

The Hokies, meanwhile, lost more than the game, with quarterback Michael Brewer shelved by a left shoulder injury in the third quarter. Brewer is key to Virginia Tech’s hope for a resurgent season.

Virginia Tech trailed 21-17 and had driven into Buckeyes territory when Brewer went down, but it had trouble moving the ball after Brenden Motley took over behind center.

And the Hokies just couldn’t stop Miller and Co. in the second half.

Miller, a two-time Big Ten offensive player of the year at quarterback, missed last season with

Hard work paying off for Sterling’s Rivera REDBIRD

CONTINUED FROM B1

He made the most of his first career start Saturday, notching a career-high 6 tackles (2 solo) and a ½ tackle for loss while platooning with former Hawkeye and Simeon product Reggie Spearman.

“Last year I was backing up and playing a lot of special teams, and this year I’ve got a bigger role on defense,” Rivera said.

“It was nice to get out there and help the team in a bigger role, and get that first start under my belt.”

Rivera’s rise from the practice squad to the starting lineup isn’t a surprise to those who know him best. A 3-year varsity starter for the Golden Warriors, Rivera was Sauk Valley Media’s player of the year as a senior in 2011, earning all-state honors and being named the NIB-12 West defensive player of the year.

He put his natural athletic ability and strong work ethic to good use as soon as he got to ISU. He quickly caught the eye of head coach Brock Spack and his staff.

“I’m a big Jando fan,” Spack said after Saturday’s game. “He’s a kid who’s worked really, really hard, he’s a good athlete, a good student and a good person, and he’s just a good football player. He kind of epitomizes the kind of player we want on our team.”

Rivera and the defense spent plenty of time on the field Saturday, as the

AP

Illinois State defenders, including Sterling native Alejandro Rivera (32), look on as Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard celebrates his first-quarter touchdown run Saturday at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.

Hawkeyes held a 5-minute advantage in time of possession, and had four drives more than 10 plays and 5 minutes in length.

But Spack felt at first blush like Rivera had held his own against a team that will likely be the most physical the Redbirds will play all season.

“I think he did fine,” Spack said. “I didn’t study him today – I think I saw him make a few tackles out there – but I didn’t see him get overwhelmed. I didn’t feel that happened, which I usually would, so I think he played pretty well.”

Rivera got a couple of mentions from the commentators on the Big Ten Network during the game after nice plays, and was excited to play in front of 59,000 fans – the second-

biggest crowd the Redbirds have ever played in front of as a program.

And after a run all the way to the FCS title game last season, Rivera is eager to be part of something special once again … and feels the Redbirds have more than enough talent and drive to give it another shot.

“Hopefully this is our only loss of the season, and we can win 14 straight and make it back to the national championship,” Rivera said. “What we have here seems to be kind of like my time back at Sterling, where Coach [Greg] King would reload more than replace and rebuild. We have a lot of depth, we have guys ready to step in and play, and we feel

ready for the season.

“The FCS is no joke, especially in our league, and playing a Big Ten team helps us get ready for the games coming ahead of us.”

a shoulder injury. With the talented Jones and J.T. Barrett at quarterback, Miller converted to wide receiver in the offseason, and had an immediate impact in his new position.

First, he had a 54-yard touchdown reception to erase a 17-14 halftime deficit. Then he had a dazzling spin move on his long scoring run that lifted the Buckeyes to a 28-17 lead with 2:05 left in the third.

Jones added a 10-yard TD run in the fourth, and Barrett, who started for Ohio State until he was injured late in the season last year, threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Michael Thomas with 8:14 remaining.

The Buckeyes got off to a fast start, but the Hokies battled right back.

Curtis Samuel made a great adjustment to haul in a 24-yard touchdown reception from Jones, and Ezekiel Elliott had an 80-yard scoring run, all in the first 10 minutes.

Virginia Tech responded with 17 straight points. Sam Rogers took a short pass from Brewer 51 yards for the Hokies’ first touchdown.

Virginia Tech then used an interception to set up a field goal, and a fumbled punt to set up a go-ahead touchdown 15 seconds before halftime on Brewer’s second touchdown pass.

Motley finished the Hokies’ scoring with a late 17-yard pass to Isaiah Ford.

Mustangs keep ball in play to stay close CATCH

Bussert helped the Rams to a 320 team total, eight strokes fewer than runner-up Morrison in the small-school division. Forreston (361), St. Bede (363) and Polo (376) rounded out the top five teams.

Bussert had six birdies (6, 7, 11, 14, 15 and 18) and two bogeys (5 and 8) on his scorecard.

“My driver was spot-on, and then I rolled the ball really well with the putter,” Bussert said. “I got a few to fall in the hole, so that was nice. I came out with a goal to just play golf, and keep everything else out of my mind.”

Leading the way for Morrison were Ben Tegeler with a 77 and Noah Hogue with a 78. They placed third and fourth, respectively, and the key for both golfers was keep-

ing the ball in play on Rock River’s tricky layout.

“I had some bad holes, but I made up for those with some good ones,” Tegeler said. “It was a good round.”

“Like every round, it could have been better, but I’m OK with it,” Hogue added. “I just got a lot of pars, but didn’t make any birdies. I just tried to minimize the damage on some of the holes.”

The Mustangs were the leaders in the clubhouse, until the Riverdale scores were posted. The teams will cross paths throughout the season, but Round 1 went to the Rams.

“I feel like we’re very close in talent,” Tegeler said. “Obviously Bussert had an amazing score, and the rest of their team did pretty good, but I think we can be competitive with them.”

Newman freshman Jacob Rude earned the

fifth-place medal after carding an 80.

“I hit the ball straight, and my putting was pretty good,” Rude said. “I played pretty consistent golf all day.”

In the large-school division, Rock Falls placed fourth as a team with a 335, behind Geneseo (293), Kaneland (305) and Alleman (315). Sterling (336) was fifth, and Dixon (374) was ninth.

The top local player was Sterling’s Nick Ceruzzi with 78. He used to be a member at the former Rock River Country Club, when it was a private course, and used that local knowledge to his advantage.

“My driving was good, I hit a lot of fairways, and I made a lot of long putts,” Ceruzzi said. “I got it up and down, which helped a lot.”

Bronson Mintun was low for Rock Falls with 80, while Jake Bonnell led

Dixon with an 82.

The large-school medalist was Geneseo’s Ryan Ford, who beat teammate Austin Jump in a onehole playoff after each carded 1-over-par 71s.

The playoff hole was the 210-yard ninth hole, and Ford stuck a 3-wood into the wind to about 6 feet, leading to a birdie.

Jump was way left of the green and wound up with a bogey. It was the second consecutive Saturday tournament he lost medalist honors in a playoff, as he had also done that in the Geneseo Invitational on Aug. 28.

Wyatt Wade (75) and Marshall Rice (76) rounded out the Maple Leafs lineup.

“This year, more than any other year, it’s team chemistry,” Ford said.

“We’ve united as a team, and we believe in each other. If I don’t have a good day, the guy behind me will pick me up.”

Busch beating by Cubs Cards blown out at home; Sox fall again By the Associated Press

As a trade deadline addition, Dan Haren was unaware the Cubs had struggled in St. Louis. In the end, it was probably better he didn’t know about Chicago’s sorry 1-6 record at Busch Stadium.

“I didn’t know we had struggled here,” Haren said after working seven innings in a 9-0 victory over the Cardinals on Monday. “Everyone has struggled against the Cardinals this year; they’re the best team record-wise.”

The NL Centralleading Cardinals maintained a 5½-game lead over Pittsburgh, which lost 3-1 to Cincinnati. The Cubs are 7½ games back.

Dexter Fowler had a leadoff home run and two-run double in the first two innings.

Fowler matched his season best for RBIs, and became the Cubs’ first switch-hitter to score 90 runs since Brian McRae scored 111 in 1996.

Addison Russell’s three-run homer capped a five-run third that made it 8-0. The Cubs have won four in a row, and got an 11-game trip off to a rocking start.

Haren (9-9) had five strikeouts and two walks. He also contributed a single and sacrifice fly.

Lance Lynn (11-9) surrendered six runs in

The Cubs’ Starlin Castro and Addison Russell celebrate near Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina after scoring on a two-run double by Dexter Fowler during the second inning of Monday’s game in St. Louis. The Cubs won 9-0.

2 1/3 innings on 9 days’ rest after getting extra time to recover from a sprained ankle in his last start.

The Cardinals are 3-4 on this homestand with two games to go.

They’re a major leaguebest 49-24 at Busch Stadium, but this was their most lopsided setback at home. They’ve been outscored 16-1 the last two games.

Never say die in Darlington Edwards rallies for victory after terrible start

BY PETE IACOBELLI AP Sports Writer

DARLINGTON, S.C. – Carl Edwards wanted momentum heading into NASCAR’s championship chase. He found it at Darlington Raceway.

Edwards rallied after falling two laps down because of a flat tire, then beat Brad Keselowski off pit road for the lead 12 laps from the end, and held on for his first Southern 500 victory Sunday night.

Edwards won the Coca Cola 600 in May, and had six top-10s in the past seven races. Still, he was looking for a boost that would propel his first-year Joe Gibbs Racing program into the playoffs.

“This is what we needed,” Edwards said. “We really needed a shot in the arm.”

And now Edwards heads into the Chase bursting with confidence – in the entire team. He was two laps behind after this flat around Lap 90. He was in 36th place on Lap 140. But there he was at the end, pushing polesitter Keselowski and

Carl Edwards celebrates in victory lane after winning a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Darlington Raceway, on Sunday in Darlington, S.C. defending Southern 500 winner Kevin Harvick 40 laps from the end.

Crew chief Darian Grubb made strong calls throughout the night, Edwards said, and his pit crew did the job at the most crucial time.

Keselowski was second, and Denny Hamlin finished third. Joey Logano was fourth, followed by Harvick and the Busch brothers, Kurt and Kyle.

Raburn has eight multi-homer games in his career, four of them against the White Sox. He connected both times against Chris Sale (12-8), and is 10-for-33 with four home runs lifetime versus the lefty ace.

Sale (12-8) struck out eight in seven innings.

He has fanned 247 this year, nearing the singleseason team record of 269 set by Ed Walsh in 1908.

Bauer (11-11) shrugged off a lack of command early to allow just two runs and two hits in seven innings. He walked five and struck out six.

victory in the last 10 events. JGR swept the weekend, with Hamlin winning the Xfinity race Saturday.

Edwards did his signature victory backflip in the race’s return to Labor Day weekend.

“I guess we made it Carlington for a couple of minutes,” Edwards said after his crew taped over part of the “D’’ on the painted Darlington sign along a retaining wall.

“This is the Southern 500. This is amazing.”
