SPRINGFIELD (AP) – The Libertarian running for Illinois governor recognizes he has little chance of winning the November election, but he could play a significant role in deciding who does.

Chad Grimm, the third name on the ballot in one of the nation’s hardest-fought governor’s races, is a fiscal conservative who believes in minimalist government. The race is expected to be very close between Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Chad Bruce Rauner, so if Grimm Grimm pulls away Gym manager more than a few from Peoria votes from Raun- says his goal is er, his candidacy to build support could be instru- for Libertarians mental in tipping More the scales.

BY CHRIS JOHNSON Shaw Media cxjohnson@shawmedia.com

Thousands of acres of prairie land are being restored at the grasslands to recreate what the midwest boasted in the 1800s.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA POP GO THE TASTE BUDS IN DIXON

Deadline today for businesses CHICAGO (AP) – With today’s deadline approaching, people who want to own medical marijuana businesses in Illinois are hurrying to complete their applications for a limited number of permits.

Two state agencies – the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Department of Agriculture – are accepting applications for dispensaries and cultivation centers until 3 p.m. today.

The state’s new medical marijuana law went into effect Jan. 1, but the first crop can’t be planted until permits for growers are issued later this year.

The law prohibits patients

from growing their own cannabis. Commercial growers will pay a 7 percent privilege tax on their marijuana sales.

Panels of legal and policy experts will review and score the applications in a competitive process. Illinois expects to grant up to 21 permits for cultivation centers and up to 60 permits for dispensaries.

The Marijuana Policy Project, a Washington, D.C.-based lobbying group, has said the Illinois fees for cultivation centers are the highest in the nation. There is a non-refundable application fee of $25,000 and a first-year registration fee of $200,000.

OBITUARIES Lester A. Hill DIXON – Lester A. Hill, 90, of Dixon, died on Sept. 12, 2014, at the Franklin Grove Nursing Home. He was born on June 18, 1924, in Dixon, to Lester A. and Maude (Hoyle) Hill.

Lester grew up on a farm northeast of Dixon and graduated in 1942 from Dixon High School. He joined the Army Air Corps and served throughout World War II as a medic and was stationed in England and France.

He was awarded four Bronze Stars. After the war ended, he returned to Dixon, but he maintained the friendships that he had developed while in the service.

Lester was the last survivor of his Army company.

He had hoped to become a veterinarian, but his father suddenly retired from farming, so he took over the farm where he lived until his death. Lester loved being a farmer, and he was a good steward to his land.

Lester married Dorothy Mayes on Sept. 27, 1946. They had known each other since 1939.

They were happily married for nearly 68 years.

Lester was a member of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockford. He enjoyed everything he did. Years ago, he was a Boy Scout Master for the boys at the Nachusa Lutheran Home. Some of the boys he mentored remained friends with him for life. After Lester retired from farming, he devoted time and energy to girls softball teams, especially in Dixon and Amboy.

He cleared out his barn, bought pitching machines and made it

available to teams for extra practice. Lester and Dorothy traveled all over Illinois to watch their favorite teams play.

Lester liked to scout out new talent and encourage kids to work hard. Many kids learned to drive in Lester’s International Scout. A highlight of the past 10 years was when he went on an Honor Flight to Washington, District of Columbia, with other veterans.

Survivors include his only brother, Kenneth Hill of Dixon; his wife and the love of his life, Dorothy of Dixon; his children, Steven (Tamara) Hill of Dixon, Bruce (Catherine) Hill of Dove Creek, Colorado, and Sandra (Ralph) Loescher of Minneapolis. He was “Grampa� to Erin (David) Wilson and (great-grandson, Cameron Wilson), and Emily (Chris) Lomheim, all of Minneapolis. He was “Papa� to Daphne (PJ) Perry of Chicago, and Evan Hill of St. Louis, Missouri.

He had many nieces and nephews and enjoyed their visits. He was a loyal friend to Peter de Gonia of Rockford.

A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m.

Saturday at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockford. To honor his memory, the family asks that you be kind to strangers, be generous to those in need, and give encouragement to all children and veterans that you meet along the way.

If desired, memorials can be given to the charity of the donors’ choice.

Grimm policies span aisle GRIMM

CONTINUED FROM A1

Grimm, a 33-year-old gym manager from Peoria who has dabbled in acting, said his realistic goal is neither to win the governor’s race, nor to be a spoiler. It’s to build support for the Libertarians and boost third party candidates’ chances in future elections, because he believes the main two parties don’t offer a real solution to Illinois’ urgent problems. “I really do believe, and this goes back to the spoiler scenario, [that] whoever wins, unless it’s me, we’re not going to get anything different in Springfield,� he told The Associated Press in an interview.

Libertarian candidates traditionally attract few Illinois voters. In 2010, the party’s candidate for governor received 1 percent of the vote while all third-party candidates drew 7 percent.

In that race, Quinn beat Republican state Sen. Bill Brady by a margin of less than half of one percent, and this year’s race could be just as close.

The Libertarians also have a candidate for U.S. Senate on the ballot – Sharon Hansen of Pontiac, a 63-year-old

innkeeper who says Republicans and Democrats have “ruled the country for far too long.�

Her name will appear on the ballot alongside Democrat Dick Durbin and Republican state Sen. Jim Oberweis.

The state Board of Elections approved putting the Libertarians on the ballot, but ruled that candidates for the Green, Constitution and Independent parties had not gathered sufficient petition signatures.

Last week, a Sangamon County judge rejected an appeal by Republicans seeking to have Grimm thrown off the ballot.

Rauner’s campaign says it doesn’t see Grimm as a real threat. “There are only two people who have a chance to become governor next year,� spokesman Mike Schrimpf said. “On Election Day, voters understand that choice.�

Grimm said he aims to net at least 5 percent of the vote, so that Illinois officially recognizes his party in future elections.

That would mean other Libertarian candidates won’t have to go through as difficult a process to qualify for the ballot.

Grimm advocates abolishing the state’s income tax, expanding

gun rights, eliminating the minimum wage and legalizing marijuana, among a range of policies he says would eliminate problems by providing more freedoms.

He says he’s had to get creative in getting his message out, relying on social media and radio interviews to explain positions he acknowledges can sound “a little out there� at first blush.

He says he became a Libertarian after toying with the idea of running for office as a Republican, but found himself butting heads with local party officials. The Libertarian Party nominated him at their annual convention in Bolingbrook last September.

While Grimm’s various policies could appeal to both liberals and conservatives, analysts say he’s more likely to pick off Republican voters because of his anti-tax, pro-gun stances. But conservative voters also may be hesitant to vote for him, understanding they could ultimately be helping Quinn, the Democrat. “The question is, will people engage in sincere voting or strategic voting?� said Matt Streb, chairman of Northern Illinois University’s political science department.

Chandra J. Germanson Chandra J. Germanson, 27, of Dixon, died on Saturday, Sept. 20, 2014, at KSB Hospital in Dixon.

She was born in Sterling on March 20, 1987, the daughter of Thomas and Juana (Alba) Germanson.

She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Marcial and Margarita Alba, and two uncles, Peter Alba and John Germanson.

Survivors include her daughter, Noriah G. Webb, and her son, Jaydrian Webb; her mother, Juana Germanson of Dixon; her father, Thomas (Roberta Jones) Germanson of Dixon; sister, Adria (Dustin) Germanson of Dixon; half sister, Cheyenne Ashford of Dixon; paternal

Pennsylvania state troopers meet in the parking lot at the Barrett Township Volunteer Fire Company on Saturday near Canadensis, Pennsylvania, during the search for suspected killer Eric Frein. Frein is suspected of fatally shooting a state trooper and wounding another at the Blooming Grove state police barracks on Sept. 12.

Authorities: Rifle carried by ambush suspect found CANADENSIS, Pa. (AP) – Nine days after a gunman went on a deadly ambush at a northeastern Pennsylvania state police barracks, authorities said Sunday they have recovered one of the weapons he was carrying and believe they are hot on his trail as he travels on foot through nearby rugged forests.

Investigators said they believe the suspect they describe as a self-taught

survivalist had been planning a confrontation with law enforcement for months, if not years.

State Police Lt. Col. George Bivens revealed a few more details about the manhunt for Eric Frein, saying trackers have discovered items he hid or abandoned in the woods – including an AK-47 assault rifle and ammunition they believe he had been carrying while on the run.

“We are pushing him hard, he is no longer safe and I am confident that he will be apprehended,�

Bivens said.

Authorities did not yet know if the weapon had been used in the ambush, he said. Still, police believe Frein remains dangerous and possibly armed with a .308 rifle with a scope that police say was missing from the family home along with the AK-47.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

Feds censure local police, yet give lethal weapons Program shows lack of communication between Pentagon, Justice Department LOS ANGELES (AP) – A Pentagon program that distributes military surplus gear to local law enforcement allows even departments that the Justice Department has censured for civil rights violations to apply for and get lethal weaponry.

That lack of communication between two Cabinet agencies adds to questions

about a program under review in the aftermath of the militarized police response to protesters in Ferguson, Missouri.

The Pentagon, which provides the free surplus military equipment, says its consultation with the Justice Department will be looked at as the government reviews how to prevent high-powered

weaponry from flowing to the untrustworthy.

The Justice Department has opened civil rights investigations into the practices of some 20 police departments in the past 5 years, with the Ferguson force the latest. The investigations sometimes end in negotiated settlements known as consent decrees that mandate reforms. Yet being flagged as problematic by Washington does not bar a police

department from participating in the program. “Given the fact that they’re under a consent decree, it would make sense that the Department of Defense and Department of Justice coordinate on any such requests, [but] that is currently not the state,� said Jim Bueermann, who heads the nonprofit Police Foundation.

At a Senate hearing this month, Alan Estevez, a Defense Department

official who oversees the program, acknowledged that consultation with the Justice Department was “lacking� and he said that would be reviewed.

Under questioning, he acknowledged the Pentagon does not take federal civil rights investigations into account in shipping out weapons, but that could change. “We need to do a better job there,� Estevez said.

The Los Angeles Police Department received mul-

tiple shipments, totaling some 1,680 M16 assault rifles, under the Pentagon program, even while the department was under the watch of a federal monitor and had been accused of poor practices, government records show. The LAPD entered into a courtsupervised agreement with the Justice Department in 2001 after investigators accused it of a pattern of excessive force, false arrests and unreasonable searches.

‘Your breakfast is my dinner’ Chicago’s Latinos optimistic White-collar, third-shift jobs on rise, study shows about city’s new archbishop

BY PAUL WOOD The News-Gazette

CHAMPAIGN (AP) – About the time most of us are about to nod off, Doug Dubson is fresh from the gym and ready to start his 11 p.m. shift at Plastipak. “I’m 180 degrees from everybody else,� the Urbana man says. “Your breakfast is my dinner.

It’s the same day, but I can get my errands done during the days when things are open and people are at work.�

It’s different for thirdshifter Kyle Lawson, who works in information technology, keeping the University of Illinois’ Blue Waters supercomputer going.

She doesn’t have a regular sleep schedule. She tries to be awake when Dennis Kendall, a day-shifter, is around their Decatur house, or when they can ride on their two Harleys.

Every day is different.

Lawson differs from other third-shifters because she’s a whitecollar worker, an increasing trend.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 3 percent of workers are regular third-shifters.

Since 1990, white-collar third-shift jobs have grown almost twice as much as blue-collar shift jobs – U.S. factory jobs are on a long decline.

Certain positions like police officers, firefighters and medical personnel have always had a nighttime aspect.

People adjust. Sometimes it just takes a lot of getting used to.

CHICAGO (AP) – Catholic Latinos went to Mass on Sunday hopeful that the incoming archbishop of Chicago will continue to speak out for immigration reform and the needs of the poor, and that he simply will be a big part of their parishes.

On the first Sunday since Pope Francis’ selection of Bishop Blase Cupich to succeed the ailing Cardinal Francis George in November was announced, several people at largely Latino parishes in the Pilsen neighborhood said they were encouraged by what they knew of Cupich. They cited Cupich’s immigrant roots – all four of his grandparents immigrated to the United States from Croatia. “He comes from a family of immigrants, so therefore we have something in common,� said Jose Sauceda, on his way into

St. Pius V Catholic Church. “He knows immigrants and their customs.�

Archbishop Cupich, Blase Cupich who heads the Archdiocese of Spokane, Washington, spoke at a Chicago news conference Saturday about the need for immigration reform, saying, “Every day we delay is a day too long.� “Everything has changed with this pope we have and I think [Cupich] will be out there walking with us,� said Israel Flores, 54.

Steve Vidal, a 42-yearold teacher who had just attended Mass at St. Pius, was among several worshippers who said Cupich’s views seem in line with those of the pope, who has criticized the church hierarchy for alienating Catholics by focusing on divisive issues more than on mercy and compassion.

“I think he will carry on the attitude that Pope Francis exemplifies,� Vidal said. “He will include people and be open to dialogue with all people, including people who have been marginalized by the church.�

Not only did several Catholics interviewed Sunday welcome the prospect of a more moderate leader of the nation’s third-largest archdiocese than the conservative George, but they expect Cupich to have a stronger relationship with their parishes than George seemed to have, particularly in recent years during his public battle with cancer. “He was focused on his health and we didn’t see him visiting this community or get to know us here,� said Nelly Viramontes, 36, before Mass at St. Paul Catholic Church. “I hope he [Cupich] will embrace the Hispanic community and be more visible here.�

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.

WASHINGTON – The other day, a few senators remembered they have rather well-paid jobs, which they haven’t bothered to show up to for weeks, and held a hearing on a burning issue – statehood for the District of Columbia.

At this moment, exhausted from reading about beheadings, Ebola, vicious Vladimir Putin, and elevator wife beatings, and nauseous over Congress’ lack of action on anything, you are asking, “Say what?!�

While the world watched England bite its nails over Scotland’s debate on queen or no queen, Union Jack or no Union Jack, some Senate staffers have been hard at work lining up pro and con witnesses on whether the nation’s capital should be the 51st state.

It is true that for many years, the presidential limo has sported a D.C. license plate with the slogan “Taxation Without Representation,� although the ever-cautious President Obama waited 4 years before he decided to put the politically charged battle cry on his cars. It took him less time to decide on bombing Syria.

It is true that 632,000 residents of Washington pay $4 billion in federal taxes but have no vote in Congress, which must approve every law the city council passes. Faithful, tireless Eleanor Holmes Norton, who is 77, has been trudging up to the House for nearly a quarter of a century as the district’s delegate, but she can’t vote on anything.

IT TOOK HER TWO decades to gin up the Senate hearing, which drew an overflow crowd of tense, excited activists wearing I-am-DC-I-demand-thevote T-shirts.

Delaware Democrat Sen. Tom Carper, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, who might have been expected to be holding hearings on whether barbarians in the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria pose a domestic threat, noted the United Nations considers D.C.’s lack of voting representation to be a human rights violation.

Carper also noted that if D.C. became a state, it would have a larger population than either Vermont or Wyoming, probably not the best argument for D.C. statehood advocates.

Washington has been considered a special district over which Congress has “exclusive� legislative authority through the

Constitution since 1790.

But with the fervor of Scots who agitated for independence from the United Kingdom, a number of D.C. residents feel personally offended that they do not have two voting senators and a congressperson. (Who could join their peers in raising lots of money for re-election campaigns while not doing any actual work.)

Scotland’s independence brouhaha was at least fueled by many barrels of oil. Washington, D.C.’s, big money maker is photo cameras nabbing traffic scofflaws.

ACCORDING TO THE city’s inspector general, the city hits up its citizens and visitors for $172 million a year from automatic tickets for speeding and motor violations that thousands of drivers never committed. And don’t even think about getting your day in court over an automatic ticket.

In D.C., you are guilty.

Period.

Writers for The Washington Post describe D.C. as both “the Wild West of traffic enforcement� and the old Soviet Union “where officials invented rules and citizens had no recourse.�

(Note: This isn’t peanuts; D.C. has a $1.75 billion budget surplus.)

One of those testifying for D.C. statehood was the mayor, Vincent Gray. Gray has been under investigation for 3 years on suspicion of election corruption, although no criminal charges have been filed against him.

But that raises a good point. The most influential people in D.C. are lawyers and lobbyists. Imagine a whole state just for them!

Republicans, who know that two D.C. senators and a congressperson inevitably would be Democrats (Obama got 90 percent of the D.C. vote), vehemently oppose the idea of New Columbia, the working name of the proposed 51st state.

Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Oklahoma, ranking Republican on the homeland security committee, pronounced D.C. statehood a “legal and political absurdity� that has “no chance of passage.�

Relax, “Jeopardy� fans.

No new state flower, bird or slogan to learn.

ISLAMIC STATE GROUP

Arab states lag in media war against extremists DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) – As the Islamic State group battles across Syria and Iraq, pushing back larger armies and ruling over entire cities, it is also waging an increasingly sophisticated media campaign that has rallied disenfranchised youth and outpaced the sluggish efforts of Arab governments to stem its appeal.

Long gone are the days when militant leaders like Osama bin Laden smuggled grainy videos to Al-Jazeera. Nowadays, Islamic State backers use

Twitter, Facebook and other online platforms to entice recruits with professionally made videos showing fighters waging holy war and building an Islamic utopia.

The extremist group’s opponents say it is dragging the region back into the Middle Ages with its grisly beheadings and massacres, but its techsavvy media strategy has exposed the ways in which Arab governments and mainstream religious authorities seem to be living in the past.

Most Arab governments

see social media as a threat to their stability and have largely failed to harness its power, experts say.

Instead, they have tried to monitor and censor the Internet while churning out stale public statements and state-approved sermons on stuffy government-run media.

Last week, Saudi Arabia’s top council of religious scholars issued a lengthy Arabic statement via the state-run news agency denouncing terrorism and calling on citizens to back efforts to fight extremist groups

TURKEY

like the Islamic State and al-Qaida. Leading Sunni Muslim authorities in Egypt have issued similar government-backed statements.

Compare that to the Islamic State group. Its Furqan media arm produces slick videos complete with interviews, graphics and jihadist hymns echoing in the background, with Arabic and English subtitles. It promotes the videos and its glossy monthly magazines on an array of social media, reaching out to people in the Arab world and beyond.

AP

This screen grab from an Islamic State group affiliated Twitter account, taken Sunday, purports to show senior military commander Abu Wahib handing a flower to a child while visiting southern Iraq, as part of the group’s broad social media campaign.

Syria refugee flood hits 100K Nation ends Ebola lockdown Disease has killed more than 2,600 across West Africa

Extremists making way into Kurdish regions of Syria KUCUK KENDIRCILER, Turkey (AP) – The 19-yearold Kurdish militant, who has been fighting the Islamic State group in Syria, brought his family across the border into Turkey to safety Sunday.

But in the tranquility of a Turkish tea garden just miles from the frontier, Dalil Boras vowed to head back after nightfall to continue the fight.

Pulling a wad of Syrian bills from his pocket, the young fighter – who has already lost a 17-yearold brother to the Islamic militants’ brutal advance – said that if the Turkish border guards tried to stop him, money would persuade them.

Boras and his relatives are among some 100,000 Syrians, mostly Kurds, who have flooded into Turkey since Thursday, escaping an Islamic State offensive that has pushed the conflict nearly within eyeshot of the Turkish border.

The al-Qaida breakaway group, which has established an Islamic state, or caliphate, ruled by its harsh version of Islamic law in territory it captured straddling the Syria-Iraq border, has in recent days advanced into Kurdish regions of Syria that border Turkey,

AP

Several hundred Syrian refugees wait to cross into Turkey on Sunday at the border in Suruc. Turkey opened its border Saturday to nearly 60,000 people who massed on the Turkey-Syria border, fleeing the Islamic militants’ advance on Kobani. where fleeing refugees on Sunday reported atrocities that included stonings, beheadings and the torching of homes.

On Sunday, heavy clashes broke out between the Islamic State militants and Kurdish fighters only miles from the Syrian border town of Kobani, where the Islamic State group was bombarding villagers with tanks, artillery and multiple rocket launchers, said Nasser Haj Mansour, a defense official in Syria’s Kurdish region. “They are even targeting civilians who are fleeing,�

Haj Mansour told The Associated Press.

At a border crossing where Turkish authorities were processing the refugees, Osman Abbas said he and 20 relatives

were fleeing a village near Kobani when Islamic State fighters shot one of his sons. The 35-yearold had tried to return to their home to recover valuables while the rest of the family fled. “They took our village, they took our house, they killed my son,� Abbas said. “I saw it with my own eyes.�

As refugees flooded in, Turkey closed the border crossing at Kucuk Kendirciler to Turkish Kurds in a move aimed at preventing them from joining the fight in Syria. A day earlier, hundreds of Kurdish fighters had poured into Syria through the small Turkish village, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

FREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) – Frustrated residents complained of food shortages in some neighborhoods of Sierra Leone’s capital on Sunday, as the country reached the third and final day of a sweeping, unprecedented lockdown designed to combat the deadly Ebola disease, volunteers said.

While most residents welcomed teams of health care workers and volunteers bearing information about the disease, rumors persisted in pockets of the city that poisoned soap was

being distributed, suggesting that public education campaigns had not been entirely successful.

The streets of the capital, Freetown, were again mostly deserted on Sunday in compliance with a government order for the country’s 6 million residents to stay in their homes.

Spread by contact with bodily fluids, Ebola has killed more than 560 people in Sierra Leone and more than 2,600 across West Africa in the biggest outbreak ever recorded, according to the World Health Organization.

The disease, which has also touched Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and

Senegal, is believed to have sickened more than 5,500 people.

Sierra Leone’s government was hoping the lockdown – the most aggressive containment effort yet attempted – would turn the tide against the disease.

There were rumors in Freetown on Sunday that officials would opt to extend the lockdown, but a Health Ministry statement issued Sunday night confirmed it had ended.

The statement said that 75 percent of the targeted 1.5 million households had been contacted by outreach teams, and that outreach would continue in “hot spots� around the country.

Effective deals need best fits Judith Martin, who is better known as Miss Manners, said, “We are born charming, fresh and spontaneous and must be civilized before we are fit to participate in society.”

To participate effectively in a bridge deal, we hope to find a fit with partner. This week we will look at the factors affecting your choice when you have two fits. First, should you prefer a 4-4 fit or a 5-3 fit?

Almost always, you should pick the 4-4. If the 4-4 fit is a side suit, you will get at most four tricks. But if it is the trump suit, you will often get an extra trick by ruffing a loser in one hand or the other. And a 5-3 side-suit fit will usually provide two dis-

cards on the fourth and fifth cards. But if the 5-3 fit is the trump suit, it will rarely furnish a sixth trump trick from a ruff in the shorter trump hand.

Look at today’s deal. How

does South get on in four hearts or four spades?

In the auction, North might have started with a negative double to show his four hearts, especially as his singleton made his hand a tad strong for a single spade raise. After the spade raise, the South hand was just worth game, but he wisely showed his heart suit. Then North raised to four hearts, a tad worried about his weak trumps. Against four hearts, West should realize that East is highly unlikely to have an entry, so should start with three rounds of trumps. But South can easily restrict his losers to one spade and two trumps.

In spades, West can cash his two high hearts and give his partner a heart ruff. Then West’s trump trick defeats the contract. © 2014 UFS

Mike Crowe of Lindenwood leads a group Saturday through the prairie and savanna during a tour of East Heinkel Hill at Nachusa Grasslands.

Another grass that was thriving was big blue stem, commonly called turkey foot. A third grass that had patches in the prairie is cordgrass, spartina.

“This grass is good for thatched roofs, but on the prairie it is also used for burning,” Crowe said.

The species were only some of the hundreds that make up the prairie. As the group walked across the land, Crowe paused at several of the plants.

“This is a legume and has deep roots,” Crowe said of the white indigo plant. “This allows the plant to grow on this sandy soil.”

He went on to talk about how several weeds and invasive species have trouble growing in the area because of the drier topsoil. When the prai-

rie,” said Crowe. “Without buffalo, you lose diversity. They help create layers of plant life.”

When the buffalo trample the ground, they create patches of land with different heights, allowing smaller plants to grow where before they may have been crowded out. Some birds prefer the diverse plant life.

As the group transitioned from the prairie, they were greeted by a savanna, which features large trees.

“This savanna was bare ground when we started,” Crowe said. “We have been spreading seeds, and now 100 species are growing on this hill.”

Like on the prairie, invasive species are curbed by controlled burns, as evidenced by some charred tree trunks.

But not to worry. The savanna features oak trees, which are resistant to fires.

rie is burned, the native plants have the ability to regrow where the invasive species have limited abilities to survive.

Seeding after the controlled burns ensures the prairie is restored. One advantage of the burning seems to be fewer ticks.

Sections of the grasslands are burned regularly. Heinkle is burned every second or third year, according to Crowe.

“We do controlled burns,” he said. “If the fire department is called, it is embarrassing.”

The grasslands has equipment to burn the prairie, and its volunteers have been trained in safe burning practices, including setting up fire stops to contain the fire.

“We also do not burn on windy days,” Crowe said.

He said the grasslands will soon be home to a herd of buffalo.

“Buffalo will help bring back the diverse plants and wildlife in the prai-

Veteran arrested at White House needs help, relatives say Man expected in federal court today MIDLAND, Texas (AP) – An Iraq war veteran accused of scaling a fence and making it into the White House before the Secret Service stopped him owns several guns that he could have brought with him if he had meant to harm anyone, his former stepson said Sunday.

Omar Gonzalez, 42, was arrested Friday and is expected in federal court today to face charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon – a small folding knife in this case.

Jerry Murphy, whose mother was married to Gonzalez for several years, said Gonzalez suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder and that he needs treatment, not to be treated like a criminal. He said Gonzalez has been driving around the country and living out of his truck for the past couple of years, and that he always carries his knife. “I know he’s got heavy artillery, you know? He’s got all kinds of weapons, and he was trained to use them,� Murphy said. “I believe if he wanted to

make a scene or cause problems, he very well could have. But it’s clear that he didn’t.�

The Secret Service has come under heavy criticism since the embarrassing security breach, which happened when the first family wasn’t at the White House.

Secret Service Director Julia Pierson ordered increased surveillance and more officer patrols at the White House, as the agency investigates what went wrong.

The Army said Gonzalez enlisted in July 1997 and remained until completing his service obligation in September 2003.

He reenlisted in July 2005 and served until his retirement in late 2012, serving in Iraq from October 2006 to January 2008.

The military does not provide details about a soldier’s disability due to privacy considerations.

But Samantha Bell, who is Gonzalez’s ex-wife and Murphy’s mother, said Gonzalez was honorably discharged for medical reasons and suffered from plantar fasciitis on his feet, on which he had some surgeries. She said he also suffered from PTSD, for which he had been prescribed several medications.

DIXON – For 70 minutes, the Dixon boys soccer team was poised to spring an upset against Sterling.

Then the Golden Warriors’ Patrick Nelsen decided to bend it like Beckham and spark his team to a 3-2 nonconference victory on Saturday at A.C. Bowers Field.

Sterling (7-1-1) trailed 2-1 with just under 10 minutes to go when Nelsen, a freshmen forward, found himself about 20 yards away from the goal, to the left. He unleashed a shot off his right foot that soared just above a host of interference and into the upper-right side of the goal.

Dixon keeper Nicholas LeSage had virtually no chance on the play. It was a virtual repeat of a goal Nelsen scored against Rochelle earlier in the week.

“I’ve been practicing all summer, waiting for high school,” Nelsen said, “and it was just right there. I was like, ‘I’m going to do what I did last time.’ It just happened again.”

Twenty seconds later, the Golden Warriors scored the game-winner, courtesy of senior co-captain Jose Uresti. He got behind the Dixon defense, and somewhat shockingly, found himself alone with the ball with nobody between himself and the goal, as LeSage had ventured away from the net. Tony Diaz delivered a pass, and Uresti merely had to guide it in.

WALNUT - At 176 boys, Saturday’s Bureau Valley Invitational saw the largest pool of runners that Newman had competed against this season.

In such a case, sticking together helps one find another. Naturally for the Comets, they are well aware of what sticking together can do on the cross country course.

The Comets won the championship for the second time in the meet’s history. Putting together 56 points, the Comets had four runners in the top 15, led by Bryson Reyes’s fourth-place finish in 16 minutes, 32 seconds.

WALNUT – Quite fittingly, a storm was about to brew at Saturday’s Bureau Valley cross country Invitational.

To speed the event up, the first race began 15 minutes before the scheduled start time, catching Megan Grady off-guard.

“Before the race, I gagged and I thought I was going to puke,” the Amboy sophomore said. “I didn’t know the race was going to be moved up 15 minutes. I ate a lot for breakfast.”

Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall catches a 17-yard touchdown during a win over the 49ers.

Marshall had three touchdowns in San Francisco, and he is one of the threats that the Jets defense will focus on tonight in New York.

NEW YORK – Rex Ryan has watched plenty of film of Jay Cutler and the Bears’ offense during the past several days.

And from what Ryan and the New York Jets’ defense have seen, they know they’ll have their hands full with those big, bad Bears receivers.

“Sometimes they just throw it up there,” Ryan said.

“Sometimes there are timing [routes]. ... A lot of times it’s like, ‘Hey, run behind the Buick, I’ll throw it to you.’

They have two monsters, and they don’t mind feeding it to them, regardless of what your coverage looks like.”

When: 7:30 p.m. today Where: MetLife Stadium TV/Radio: ESPN/780 AM Line: Jets by 2 1/2 Press-man coverage, zone coverage, whatever. The 6-foot-4 Brandon Marshall and 6-3 Alshon Jeffery cause opponents fits, and they’ll be looking to do more of the same against the Jets (1-1) when the Bears (1-1) come to MetLife Stadium tonight.

Both Marshall (ankle) and Jeffery (hamstring) were listed as questionable Saturday – but they were in the same position last week and both played.

The Packers’ Davante Adams is tackled by Lions cornerback Rashean Mathis (31) and strong safety Isa Abdul-Quddus during Sunday’s game in Detroit. The Lions won 19-7.

Downed in Detroit

Rodgers struggles, as Packers fall on road

BY NOAH TRISTER !0 3PORTS 7RITER

DETROIT – Aaron Rodgers finally fell short against the Detroit Lions, whose banged-up secondary was able to control the Green Bay star.

Rodgers threw for only 162 yards and was sacked twice, and the Packers lost 19-7 to Detroit on Sunday. Rodgers had been 9-1 against the Lions, with the only loss a game he had to leave early because of a concussion.

But he was healthy this time, and Green Bay was held to 223 yards of offense. “They’ve got a good defense.

You’ve got to give them credit,�

Rodgers said. “As well as our defense played today, we scored seven, and we gave up nine with our offense. They didn’t even need to score.�

Don Carey returned a fumble 40 yards for a touchdown for the Lions (2-1), whose defense

also added a safety in the second quarter.

Green Bay had won 15 of the past 17 meetings with Detroit, and the Packers were 9-1 with Rodgers playing. The one loss he took part in came in 2010, when he left the game in the first half with a concussion. Green Bay lost that game 7-3 – until Sunday, that was the only time since Rodgers became the starting quarterback in 2008 that the Packers were held to seven points or fewer.

Last season, Rodgers was out with a fractured collarbone when Green Bay lost to the Lions 40-10 on Thanksgiving.

Detroit’s Matthew Stafford was 22 of 34 for 246 yards with two interceptions Sunday.

The Detroit quarterback’s second interception – on third-andlong in the second quarter – actually worked out in his team’s favor. His deep pass for Calvin Johnson was picked off near the

goal line by Davon House, and although the play was initially ruled a touchback, a review gave Green Bay (1-2) the ball at its own 1-yard line.

The Packers tried a run with Eddie Lacy, and linebacker DeAndre Levy caught him in the end zone for a safety that put Detroit ahead 9-7. “Our defense did an outstanding job of getting off the field all day,�

Stafford said. “Against that group that they were going up against, that was pretty awesome.�

Detroit’s offense finally scored a touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 26-yard run by Reggie Bush.

Safety James Ihedigbo (neck) and cornerback Cassius Vaughn (ankle) were inactive for Detroit, which has also lost defensive backs Bill Bentley and Nevin Lawson to season-ending injuries. Linebacker Stephen Tulloch left in the first quarter after hurting his left knee while celebrating a sack.

LOUDON, N.H. – Raised in Connecticut, Joey Logano always considered New Hampshire his home track, the one where he dreamed of being bathed in confetti in Victory Lane and flocked by family and friends.

For Logano, the track about 75 miles outside of Boston was his version of Daytona.

Winning at New Hampshire could mean a bit more to him than a boyhood fantasy fulfilled when the season ends – it could be Logano’s launching pad for his first NASCAR championship.

Logano helped Team Penske strengthen its grip as the organization to beat for the championship, pulling away on an overtime restart to win Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and advance to the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.

Make it 2 for 2 for Team Penske in the Chase. “We’re doing what we’ve got to do to win this thing right now,�

Logano said.

Logano and teammate Brad Keselowski, who won the Chase opener at Chicagoland, have both advanced to the next round. Four drivers

Joey Logano celebrates Sunday in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, N.H. will be eliminated after every third race, and a win guarantees a driver an automatic berth into the next round. The first cutoff race is next week at Dover International Speedway.

Team Penske will be playing with house money at the Monster Mile. Roger Penske’s crew is rolling, winning four of the last five races dating to Bristol, and snagging the early lead on the scorecard against Hendrick Motorsports. “Confidence is high through the 22 team right now, all of Team Penske,� Logano said. “All of Team Penske. We

feel like we’ve got some championships to win, not only on the Cup side, but Nationwide side. And you’ve got IndyCar. We’re just trying to catch up to them.�

Will Power won the IndyCar Series championship for Penske last month.

Logano raced to his fourth victory of the season, leading 73 laps and surviving a NASCAR season-high 15 cautions that wrecked results for several Chase drivers.

He took the lead from Kevin Harvick with 27 laps left and went on to his seventh career Cup victory.

Huskies’ offense Williams improves time from last year held in check PACK

CONTINUED FROM B1

When Reyes turned around after coming to a stop for a breather at the end of the finish ropes, he caught a sight of familiar blue and white.

Quincy Coomes finished in eighth with a time of 17:04, followed by Chris Ahlers in 10th (17:07) and Drew Rosengren in 14th (17:13). Ethan Nash was the Comets’ fifth runner, crossing in 28th place (18:00).

“We had such a strong pack behind us,” Reyes said. “Our two-throughfive were right there. I was real pleased to see that whenever I rounded a turn.”

Newman’s pack time of its top five runners of 1:28 was second to Rockford Christian (0:53), who placed sixth. The Royal Lions sat most of their top runners out for the meet, leaving Newman coach Pat Warkins a little disappointed that his team didn’t get the chance to compete with top-ranked team in the Class 1A Oregon Sectional (according to Dyestat. com).

“The boys responded the way I thought they could,” Warkins said. “It was nice to see four of them as high up as they were, and our fifth guy [Nash] moved up farther than normal, so that helped a lot.”

Reyes was the closest

runner to Aurora Christian’s Tanner Chada and Rock Falls’s Seth Williams for most of the race until being overtaken

by Al Baldonado of Hall.

Chada and Williams were only a few feet apart from one another for all but the final 1/2-mile, but Chada kept his lead the entire way and spread it out as the two made their way down a hill close to the finish line.

Williams, who finished eighth last year, bested that time by 18 seconds, finishing 2 seconds behind Chada with a time of 16:11. However, he traversed the course without his running partner Brayden Hamblen, who sat out the meet.

“It was a little intimidating, because last year I beat him,” Williams said of Chada. “I was thinking that I was going to ride on him until that last 1/2-mile and just beat him. I was hurting pretty bad coming around down the finish area, and I just couldn’t do it today.”

Erie-Prophetstown finished in eighth place with 217 points. The Panthers were led by Braedon Bonnell’s 20th-place finish (17:52).

James Blackburn led Amboy runners with a 21st-place finish (17:46). Yulian Osorio led Bureau Valley runners with a 46th-place finish (18:47).

Rock Falls’ Seth Williams runs during the Bureau Valley Invitational on Saturday in Walnut. Williams finished second in 16 minutes, 11 seconds.

Erie-Prophetstown’s Reiley surprised by fourth-place finish TIME CONTINUED FROM B1 Encountering the circumstance, Grady fought through to finish in second place on the 3-mile course behind AnnawanWethersfield’s Kirstie Ramsey.

Grady, who finished in 19 minutes, 37 seconds, bested her time from last year by 12 seconds.

Making her way down the course’s large hill, Grady followed about 20 feet behind Ramsey until Kaitlyn Cline, also of Annawan-Wethersfield, caught up to her at the 1-mile mark.

Cline eventually fell off pace, allowing Eva Bruno

of Seneca to catch up and try for second place.

Bruno passed Grady, but once the runners scaled the course’s hill on the final straightaway, Grady pushed ahead once more and held on for the finish.

“I was just motivated to get done,” Grady said. “I didn’t want to go home without a medal. I really wanted to get done with this, especially because it’s homecoming week.

I wanted to get done for that.”

Ramsey had gradually built an insurmountable lead to finish in 19:10, leading the Titans to the team title with 90 points.

While Grady was the area’s highest finisher,

Erie-Prophetstown was the highest area team to place. The eighth-place Panthers were led by Corrie Reiley’s fourthplace finish in 19:46.

Reiley ran in seventh place after 1 mile and sixth place after 2. At the end of the race, she wasn’t quite sure where she finished.

“I didn’t think I’d get fourth place today,” Reiley said. “I was really ecstatic. I didn’t even know I got fourth place.

I thought I got seventh.

Then my parents told me that I got fourth, and then I was really happy.

“I was very pleased with my race,” she added. “I really didn’t feel that good today. I didn’t feel like I

was going to run that good, because this week we’ve had three hard workouts.

We usually only have two hard workouts. We’re getting more in for conference. That’s the goal for now.”

The Panthers tallied 269 points, the same number scored by Bureau Valley.

The Storm’s ninth-place finish – as a result of a sixth-man tiebreaker – was led by sisters Haley Weidner (14th place, 20:40) and Regan Weidner (15th place, 20:43).

Dixon’s Brendon McCrory (left) and Sterling’s Patrick Nelsen head the ball Saturday at A.C. Bowers Field.

Nelsen scored the game-tying goal late in second half, and the Warriors went on to win 3-2.

Dixon wanted offsides call on late goal 10

CONTINUED FROM B1

The Dukes wanted offsides on the play, but none was called and the goal stood.

“I just looked over my shoulder and I saw a guy right behind me,” Uresti said, “and then I saw Tony getting ready to pass the ball. I saw him pass, and I used my speed to my advantage, going for a break. I didn’t really see if I was offsides or not. I just went.”

After the game, Dixon coach Mahmoud Etemadi noted one of the officials told him Uresti had indeed been offsides, and apologized for not making the call.

“I said, ‘That doesn’t do me any good now,’” Etemadi said. “An apology does not win the game.

That does not take anything away from a good Sterling team. They have good players, and we will likely face them again, most likely, in the regional. Our players played well. It was a good game

for us.”

Dixon (5-6) got off to a fast start, with sophomore midfielder Remington LeRette leading the way. He twice got behind the Golden Warriors’ defense to knock in goals, the first time with 28 minutes left in the first half, and then again 5 minutes later.

He wishes he could have kept up the onslaught.

“I know Sterling’s a really hard team,” LeRette said, “so I knew we had to keep going.”

“We made a couple of defensive mistakes,” Sterling coach Brian Cebula said, “and I give credit to Dixon. They took full advantage of it and gave themselves every opportunity, based on our mistakes.”

With 15 minutes to go before halftime, Sterling’s Miguel Gallardo got his team on the board. It was a key goal, according to Cebula.

“Definitely getting that one goal before halftime helped us out a lot,” Cebula said.

White Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia is greeted by third base coach Joe McEwing after hitting his second of two home runs Sunday against the Rays in St. Petersburg, Fla. The Sox won 10-5.

Danks, Garcia take down Rays Cards clinch playoff spot despite loss By the Associated Press

The long wait through an inning in which the White Sox were backing him with six runs might have damaged John Danks’ no-hit chances, but he wasn’t complaining. “Trust me, you’ll never hear me complain about six runs in an inning,�

Danks said after his first win in nearly 2 months, a 10-5 decision over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday in St. Petersburg, Fla. Brandon Guyer’s oneout double in the sixth was Tampa Bay’s first hit off Danks. It wasn’t until Avisail Garcia’s second home run of the game had sparked a six-run inning for a 10-0 lead that Danks gave up his first hit – and two runs.

Reds 7, Cardinals 2:

The Cardinals clinched a playoff spot on Sunday, and then lost to the Reds in St. Louis.

St. Louis secured its fourth consecutive postseason appearance when Milwaukee lost to Pittsburgh earlier in

the day. But the Cardinals’ lead in the NL Central was sliced to 2 1/2 games over the Pirates.

Jay Bruce hit two of Cincinnati’s four homers, as the Reds snapped a six-game losing streak.

Todd Frazier and Devin Mesoraco also went deep.

Dodgers 8, Cubs 5:

Welington Castillo homered for the last-place Cubs, who pulled within a run in the fifth after an early 5-2 deficit and brought the potential tying run to the plate in the ninth with none out at Wrigley Field.

The Cubs got behind in large part due to the play of Dodgers stars Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig.

Kemp homered and had four RBIs and four hits, and Puig scored a career-high four times in support of spot starter Jamey Wright, a regular reliever making his first start since Sept. 1, 2013.

He was the first of six bullpen pitchers used by the Dodgers, who pushed Dan Haren back a day so he could face San Francisco today.

Jets defense will try to fool Cutler TALL

CONTINUED FROM B1

Marshall looked especially healthy last Sunday night when he caught three touchdown passes and helped the Bears roar back for a 28-20 comeback win at San Francisco. “They’re both big receivers,� Jets defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman said. “They both can go up and catch the football. They both know how to box you out. They’re both strong. They’re built.

They both can make one-handed, spectacular catches down the field.�

Other than all that, they should be no problem to defend.

Yeah, sure.

Marshall has 13 catches for 119 yards with four touchdowns, while Jeffery has eight receptions for 118 yards.

Oh, and the Jets will also have to be fully aware of playmaking 6-6 tight end Martellus Bennett, who leads the Bears with 15 catches and has two TDs. “They have a group of receivers that can get down the field and create mismatches,� Thurman said. “You’ve got to go up, fight them and contest them for the football, and hope you win your share of them.

Obviously, versus most teams, they win their share.�

Having an unsettled situation in the secondary also isn’t ideal for the Jets. Top cornerback Dee Milliner is doubtful for the game, as he deals with ankle and quadriceps injuries that kept him out of practice Friday and Saturday.

Milliner, who suffered a high ankle sprain on Aug. 10 during training camp, missed the season opener against Oakland, but then played last week at Green Bay. He was done for the day after allowing Jordy Nelson to score on an 80-yard touchdown catch.

Converted safety Antonio Allen and Darrin Walls are expected to start for the third straight game and will have to try to keep Marshall and Jeffery – and Bennett – from having huge games in the passing game. The Jets’ front seven will also be counted on to put lots of pressure on Cutler, forcing him into making mistakes. “They give you a lot of looks up front, which takes time as a quarterback,� Cutler said. “It takes your eyes off the secondary because you have to worry about where they are coming from. Are you going to be picked up? Are you going to be hot? And that just takes away a click or two you have that you could be reading the secondary and finding your routes. So, it’s a tricky defense.�

Notice of Public Hearing

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, on October 8, 2014, at 10:00 a.m., the Executive Director of the Quad Cities Regional Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”), or his designee, will conduct a public hearing, to be held in the Restaurant Conference Room at the Quad Cities International Airport, 2200 69th Avenue, Moline, Illinois, regarding a plan by the Authority to issue its Retirement Facility Revenue Bonds, Series 2014 (Friendship Manor Project) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $10,000,000 (the “Bonds”). The proceeds of the Bonds will be used to finance a portion of the cost of the construction of new buildings and renovations and improvements to existing buildings and the acquisition and installation of furnishings, equipment and related property, all constituting a project comprised of approximately 194 apartments of which approximately 114 units are independent living facilities, approximately 65 units are assisted living facilities and approximately fifteen (15) units are assisted living memory care facilities, an approximately five#bed shelter care facility, an approximately 89#bed nursing center, a community integrated living facility and three (3) duplex homes, one (1) triplex home and one (1) fourplex home, all containing thirteen (13) units (the “Project”) and to pay a portion of the costs of issuing the Bonds, all to be owned and operated by Friendship Manor, Inc., an Illinois not-for-profit corporation (the “Company”), as a retirement facility. The Project will be located at 1209#21st Avenue, 1202 19-1/2 Avenue, 1218#21st Avenue, 1226-21st Avenue, 1301-22nd Avenue, 2117-12th Street, and 2100, 2101, 2104, 2105, 2108, 2109, 2112, 2113, 2116, 2117, 2120, 2121 and 2125 Friendship Place, all in the City of Rock Island, Illinois.

The Authority is a political subdivision, body politic and municipal corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Illinois, and particularly the Quad Cities Regional Economic Development Authority Act, 70 Illinois Compiled Statutes 2012, 510/1 et seq., as supplemented and amended (the “Act”). The Bonds will be issued by the Authority pursuant to the Act and a resolution proposed for adoption by the members of the Board of Directors of the Authority. The Bonds will not be general obligations of the Authority, the State of Illinois or any political subdivision thereof, but will be special, limited obligations of the Authority as the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds will be payable solely from the revenues and receipts derived from the repayment of the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds to the Company pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and between the Authority and the Company. To evidence its obligation to repay the loan of the proceeds of the Bonds, the Company will execute and deliver its promissory note (the “Note”) identical to the terms of the Bonds as to principal amount and maturity dates, interest rates and payment dates and prepayment (or redemption) provisions. The Bonds and the interest thereon will not constitute a debt of the State of Illinois, and will not constitute an indebtedness of the Authority, the State of Illinois or any political subdivision thereof or a loan of credit or a charge against the general credit or taxing power, if any, of any of them, within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation, and the Authority, the State of Illinois and any other political subdivision thereof will not be liable for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. No owner of the Bonds shall have the right to compel the taxing power, if any, of the Authority, the State of Illinois or any political subdivision thereof to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The Authority has no taxing power.

The above-noticed public hearing is required by Section 147(f) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. At the time and place set for the public hearing, residents, taxpayers and other interested persons will be given the opportunity to express their views for or against the proposed plan of financing, the issuance of the Bonds and the nature and location of the facilities proposed to be financed thereby. Written comments may also be submitted to the Executive Director of the Authority at his office located at 1601 River Drive, Suite 310, Moline, Illinois 61265, until October 7, 2014. Subsequent to the public hearing, the Governor of the State of Illinois will consider approval of the issuance of the Bonds.

CELEBRITY CIPHER

by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.

Each letter in the cipher stands for another.

TODAY’S CLUE: M equals U “VDY HZK YJVHZ ... FXFK SJDEDKI DK NDKF PZV DGF GVFJL WF TZMKHF H N D C F E W F C D K I Z P F J V E W. D E W D K C W F S J T. ” - - L D C F H V M G C F V Previous Solution: “There’s nothing like living a long time to create a depth and soulfulness in your music.” -- Bonnie Raitt (c) 2014 by NEA, Inc., dist. by Universal Uclick 9-22

Astrograph Let your intuition guide you Monday, September 22, 2014 Get everything in order and finalize your plans. Let your intuition guide you to make the right choice. It’s important that you follow the path that ensures your happiness first and foremost. Once you take care of personal matters, everything else will fall into place.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Make whatever changes you feel are necessary. You will likely face disapproval, but don’t be dissuaded from doing what you know is best for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Neglecting legal or money matters will have unpleasant consequences. Take control before these issues become too hard to handle. Avoid lending or borrowing. Cutting corners will be easier than you anticipated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You can improve your status among your peers by being assertive and self-assured.

Be vocal about the contributions you can make, and highlight your abilities and insights.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your hard work and discipline will bring promising results.

Hasty

decisions will be your downfall.

Give yourself time to weigh the pros and cons before you make a choice.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Be considerate of the people you love and care about.

Your compassion and empathy will be necessary if those around you are oversensitive or emotional. Listen to complaints, and offer solutions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Revitalize your appearance. Updates to your current residence, in addition to personal enhancement, will give you a new lease on life and allow others to see firsthand what you have to offer.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Strive to be open and accepting.

Fluctuating circumstances are a fact of life. How you react to changes in your routine will be the test of how flexible and adaptable you are.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -A spontaneous decision will lead to regret. Your resourcefulness will bring bigger and better opportunities your way. You will have the ability to efficiently add innovative final touches to

incomplete projects.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You will have plenty of energy today. If you tackle the responsibilities that have been weighing you down, you will have more than enough time left over for some entertainment with friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t go out of your way to impress others. Your personality, knowledge and abilities speak volumes about what you have to offer. Clear up outstanding debts or bills.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t suffer in silence. If you need guidance, confide in someone you trust. Romance is in the picture, but complex issues must be ironed out first.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Splurging on unnecessary items will take a toll on your bank account. You can make many attractive and practical changes to your living space if you are resourceful.
