WHITESIDE COUNTY | HIGH-SPEED CHASE UPDATE

Firing of weapon ‘permissible’ State’s attorney says charges not warranted for deputy, who’s back on job

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

CAMBRIDGE – The state’s attorney in Henry County says charges are not warranted for the Whiteside County

sheriff’s deputy who fired his weapon during a recent highspeed chase south of Rock Falls.

The deputy, who has been on paid administrative leave since Aug. 21, is back on the

job today.

His name has not been released.

After the Illinois State Police completed their investigation, Henry County State’s Attorney Terence Patton was

appointed as a special prosecutor to avoid the conflict of interest that would have been inherent, should Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce have handled the matter.

In an email to Sauk Valley Media on Thursday afternoon, Patton detailed his reasoning behind his decision on the Aug. 20 shooting.

By Carmen R. Heflin As a young boy growing up in Schererville, Indiana Dr. Brandon Gumbiner knew he wanted to practice medicine. “I remember first being inspired by the death of my grandfather when I was seven. I was close to him and he passed from cancer. I remember how hard the doctors worked to help him. Since that time I always thought it would be such an honor and pleasure to help take care of people’s family members and hopefully make a difference in people’s lives,” Gumbiner explained.

In 2011, Dr. Gumbiner started working at the KSB Foot and Ankle Center in Dixon, Illinois. He attributes the relationships he forms with his patients and seeing the impact of the work he provides for them as the most rewarding parts of the job. “Dr. Yeager and I pride ourselves on quality foot and ankle care with the

most advanced training and procedures. We have a residency program here which speaks volumes about the types of pathology we are able to treat and the care we are able to provide as a teaching institution. I can guarantee you will be treated like family when you walk through our doors,” he said. When asked what he wished more people knew about foot and ankle care, Gumbiner expressed the importance of taking care of your feet and wearing proper footwear. “If you are having pain or troubles, don’t wait. Call the foot and ankle center at KSB and get an appointment before things get worse. Too many people wait too long and something that could have been treated in any easy conservative way, may progress to something more severe,” Gumbiner said During the summer months, Dr. Gumbiner can be often found playing Ultimate Frisbee, which he has played since high school, at The Meadows in Dixon.

ROCK FALLS

Coloma park district acquires property Site no longer a headache for city

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570

ROCK FALLS – The Coloma Township Park District Board will start putting together a master plan for the use of land it recently acquired at the southwest corner of Centennial Park.

The park district bought

the 4.1-acre piece of land near the south end of Avenue A from local restaurant owner Sam Akiti, with some help from the city.

“We had been looking at this property for a while, and we got lucky with the timing of it all,” parks director Mike Sterba said.

“The city had liens on the property, and cooperated with us to make it even more affordable.”

The purchase price for

the property was $14,000, but the city had three liens on the property for grass-mowing costs. The total on the liens was $2,972.63, but the park board negotiated it down to half of that figure, making the total cost of the property $15,486.32.

Sterba said details will be discussed with the park board, but the land will become a passive area.

“There’s a lot of brush

here to clean out, and we also have a condemned house to tear down,” he said.

City Building Inspector Mark Searing said the structure at 1506 Ave. A and the acreage had been problematic for the city.

“The structure had been empty for 5 or 6 years, and the property had not been maintained,” Searing said. “It was hard to mow, and because it sits back where no one can

see it, people dumped garbage and tires.”

Searing said the property was not conducive to commercial use, so this was a good solution for everyone involved.

“The city tried to pitch it to developers in the past, but it’s very wet, and there isn’t good access to the property for commercial use,” he said.

Part of any park district plan for the area will be to repurpose an old bridge

that the park district received from the city. The 72-foot-long, 6-foot-high bridge would extend across the Hennepin Canal.

Sterba said the taxpayers got a great addition to the parks system at a very reasonable price.

“They will be seeing a lot of activity there in the spring,” he said. “That house will be coming down, and it’s likely we’ll put another shelter in that area.”

Candidates debate cause of district’s job losses DEBATE

CONTINUED FROM A1

In 2010, Bustos, D-East Moline, defeated the then-incumbent Schilling, R-Colona, for the state’s 17th congressional district seat, which includes Whiteside County. Schilling had held the officer for one term.

“It really is a shame how these campaigns are run these days,” Bustos said.

“I feel for the people who have to watch these commercials.”

Bustos cited a report by www.factcheck.org which said a Schilling ad that accused her of voting to cut veterans is false.

Schilling referred to an article on www.politifact. com that discredited a common theme for Democratic ads, including ads against Schilling, which say Republicans voted in favor of tax breaks for companies that shipped jobs overseas.

Both Bustos and Schilling defended their own ads when asked about reports that claim they are misleading.

After opening and closing statements, the debate, which was moderated by WQAD’s Jim Mertens, was limited to about 20 minutes of questions and answers.

Among the issues discussed:

Jobs Mertens asked the candidates about several companies in the district that have eliminated jobs and how the trend should be addressed.

Bustos said that her priority in the 2010 election and while in office has been keeping and creating jobs. She cited the progress made on opening Thomson Prison, which could create 1,100 jobs in the district.

She said that jobs lost from the district have been “devastating,” and that it’s a result of bad policy.

The cause of the lost jobs, Schilling said, is

When he was in congress he worked to “reign in” the Environmental Protection Agency and other federal agencies, he said.

“The key thing is, we don’t want to see any jobs leave the United States,” he said.

Student loan debt The candidates were asked what should be done to make college more affordable, and the impact it would have on young Americans.

Schilling said while student loans are a big threat, the lack of jobs for college graduates is a bigger one.

He said more competition among colleges would bring down the cost of an education, and that programs to help high school students determine if college is the best option for them should be expanded.

Bustos said student loan debt is a “crisis,” and that it’s now more than $1 trillion and exceeds the amount of credit card debt.

She said she’s supported legislation to allow student loans to be refinanced at a lower level and legislation to expand Pell grants.

ISIL The candidates were asked if they thought American military ground forces were inevitable to address the threat by the Islamic State group.

Bustos said the country should approach any foreign policy issue, like ISIL, first diplomatically, then with sanctions, and finally with military force, if needed. She added that she would gather information from military generals about whether ground troops would be needed.

Schilling, whose son is in the military, said while

Stein Steel Mill Services, Inc. has requested that the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) renew the Clean Air Act Permit Program (CAAPP) permit regulating air emissions from its slag processing facility located at 610 Wallace Street in Sterling.

Based on its review of the application, the Illinois EPA has made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review.

The Illinois EPA is accepting comments on the draft permit. Comments must be postmarked by midnight November 9, 2014. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Brad Frost, Division of Air Pollution Control, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9506, phone 217/782-2113, TDD phone number 217/782-9143.

The repositories for the draft permit documents are at the Illinois EPA's offices at 1630 Fifth Avenue, Moline, 309/797-3341 and 1340 North Ninth St., Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). Copies of the draft permit and project summary may also be obtained at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/ permits/ilonline.html. Copies of the documents will be made available upon request.

The CAAPP is Illinois’ operating permit program for major sources of emissions, as required by Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act). The conditions of CAAPP permits are enforceable by the public, as well as by the USEPA and Illinois EPA. In addition to implementing Title V of the Act, CAAPP permits may contain “Title I Conditions,” i.e., conditions established under the permit programs for new and modified emission units, pursuant to Title I of the Act. The permit contains T1 conditions in sections 3.4 and 4.1.2 that were established in previously issued permits. The permit contains no T1 conditions that are being newly established or revised by this application.

The facility is located near a potential Environmental Justice area. More information concerning Environmental Justice may be found at http://www.epa. state.il.us/environmental-justice/ The beginning of this public comment period also serves as the beginning date of the USEPA 45 day review period, provided the USEPA does not seek a separate proposed period.

that precautions should be taken.

When asked about the debt limit and sequestration, Bustos said that sequestration is a bad way to address the problem, and when it was done last year, it hurt the economy in the district.

Schilling said representatives need to compromise while in office, and sequestration should be avoided.

Stanley A. ‘Stan’ VanOosten OKLAHOMA CITY – Stan A. VanOosten passed away suddenly Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014, traveling to Nevada to celebrate his birthday with his family.

Stan and his wife, Sheri, were married for 47 years, and met in 1967 at Offutt Air Force Base, where Stan was stationed in the Air Force. He was in grocery retail management and recently retired from Walgreen’s after many years. Fishing with his son and grandkids was his happiest time. He always had a good fish story to tell. The loves of his life were St. Louis Cardinals baseball and Nebraska Cornhusker football. Our dog, Herbie, was his best friend and confidant, and will be lost without Stan.

He is survived by his wife, Sheri; parents, Paul and Francis VanOosten of Sterling; children, Shane (NataIie) VanOosten of

Edmond, Oklahoma, Staci Bell of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Shannon (Justin) McKenzie of Nevada; sisters, Paula (Al) Millerschoen and Robin (Doug) McDuffy; and brothers, Tom VanOosten and Scott (Lori) VanOosten. Papa was proud of all eight of his grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his brother-inlaw and fishing buddy, Jan Gordon.

The memorial service will be at 1 p.m. Saturday at Hahn-Cook, Street & Draper Chapel, 6600 Broadway Extension, Oklahoma City.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Deaconess Open Arms Clinic, 5252 N. Meridian Ave., Suite 101, Oklahoma City, OK 73112.

Residents look at and discuss proposed bypass routes for U.S. Route 30 around Morrison during an open house Thursday at Odell Public Library in Morrison.

Northwest by north, or south?

Public weighs in on bypass route options

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

MORRISON – More than 300 people showed up to the Odell Public Library in Morrison on Thursday night to talk to engineers and review plans for the proposed U.S. Route 30 bypass project.

The two proposed options, which have taken a number of different forms since the plan was introduced, are routes that would bypass Morrison to the north and south.

Many residents are concerned that the proposal, which will expand Route 30 into a four-lane highway, will take away business from Morrison.

Phil Renkes, who was at the open house Thursday night, lives in Morrison and is part of the Morrison Area Development Corp. He has followed the project since it first was proposed years ago, and sees that it could be a good thing for the town.

Renkes said that he sees that, in the short term, it might look like a bad thing, but residents should be thinking longterm. “You see towns our size or a little larger maybe that have added

Give your opinion Residents may submit their thoughts on the U.S. Route 30 bypass options until Nov. 10 via the project’s website, idot. illinois.gov/projects/ us-30-fulton-to-rockfalls; on the phone at 866-768-8330; and by regular mail: write to Paul A.

DeWitt was a small town with very little industry.

Now you drive by on a four-lane; they’ve had a lot of growth.�

And, for the record, he prefers the southern route.

Project leaders, though, don’t have a preference, which is why they’re asking for the public’s input on the matter.

Becky Marruffo, a project engineer with the Illinois Department of Transportation, said that the next step in the project will be to take into consideration the public’s comments, and hopefully reach a decision in the next 6 months on which bypass route is the best option – or, if no construction is the best option.

She said roadwork likely wouldn’t begin for years, though.

SAUK VALLEY C.C. | PRESIDENT SEARCH Sheriff happy for deputy’s return Website launch to help effort PERMISSIBLE

CONTINUED FROM A1

“In summary, the United States Supreme Court has held that a police officer’s attempt to terminate a dangerous high-speed car chase that threatens the lives of innocent bystanders is constitutionally permissible, even when it places the fleeing motorist at risk of serious injury or death,� Patton’s email read. “The deputy was justified in shooting at the tires of the fleeing vehicle to attempt to terminate the chase before innocent lives were lost.�

When reached by phone, Sheriff Kelly Wil-

helmi said he always knew the deputy was justified. “I’m very happy with the outcome of this,�

Wilhelmi said. “And I’m happy to have him back on the job.�

The passengers inside the car that night, Robert M. Patterson, 27, of Sterling, and Lavelle T. Sykes, 26, of Chicago, reportedly told authorities that the driver, arrested and identified as Andre L. Peat, said, “I’m going to have to hit this guy.�

The men, including Peat, were arrested just south of Rock Falls after the chase involving Sterling and Rock Falls police, Lee and Whiteside county sheriff’s departments and the State Police.

DIXON – Lost Lake, long plagued by water problems, will get $224,000 to help pay for a second well, the governor’s office said in a news release Thursday afternoon.

The money will come in the form of a low-interest loan through the Illinois Clean Water Initiative.

The Lost Lake Utility District has only one well, which is adequate to meet its needs, but it has no back-up water supply.

The lone well was out of service for almost a week in 2008 when the well pump, motor and piping had to be replaced, and the district had to haul and deliver water to residents, the release said.

A second well will help to avoid such problems.

In anticipation of the loan, the second well has

been drilled and now must be hooked into the well house/treatment facility, which also is being expanded and upgraded. The project is expected to be completed in December.

The Lost Lake Utility District serves about 860 people at the former New Landing and Lost Nation developments, which merged in November 2007 to form Lost Lake.

Lost Lake, 13 miles northeast of Dixon in Ogle County, has 356 homes – some permanent and some vacation homes.

The Clean Water Initiative provides subsidized loans, resulting in additional savings for communities over the life of the loans. Go to cleanwater.illinois.gov to learn more about the program.

EDITORIAL | SAUK VALLEY SYMPOSIUM

‘Fixing Illinois’ – let the dialogue continue I

deas about how to make Illinois’ beleaguered government work better came fast and furious at the Jerry Mathis Theater in rural Dixon Wednesday evening.

Whether those ideas ever become reality might just be up to you.

Jim Nowlan and Tom Johnson, two experts on government, wrote “Fixing Illinois,” filled it with 98 proposed changes to improve our troubled state, and published the book in May. Now, they are looking for “champions for change” who will take an idea and try to implement it.

Nowlan and Johnson gave the keynote address at the Sauk Valley Symposium, sponsored by the Sauk Valley Media Edito-

rial Board and Sauk Valley Community College.

A number of their ideas stood out to us.

For example: Expand the public school year from 176 days to 200 days. Why? Way too many students who go through kindergarten through 12th grade in Illinois need remedial classes when they enter college.

Make small chunks of state money available to fund business startups, rather than pay millions of dollars to retain legacy companies.

Treat new technology for state departments as an investment that will improve the productivity of programs and workers.

(Many computer systems are 30 to 40 years old.)

Abolish pensions for all elected officials.

What we think

Johnson’s take: “You cannot fund a 30-year penProposals presented Wednesday by the authors of “Fixing Illinois” could lead toward sion on a 10-year pension funding formula. … If you a better future and are worth talking about. want 30-year pensions, somebody’s going to have Let’s keep the conversation going. to pay.”

We thank the four panelists – Skip Lee, Arlan McClain, Linda Keane and Rich Morthland – for sharing their insights and expertise.

Finally, we thank the public – about 125 strong – for attending.

A community conversation about how to fix Illinois began Wednesday evening.

Let’s keep it going.

GUEST COLUMN | IGPA: ON THE ISSUES

Cure public corruption, one candidate at a time To build trust, officials must commit publicly to embracing, adhering to high ethical standards KENT REDFIELD Springfield

(Fourth in a series) A former governor was convicted of public corruption a few weeks ago.

What many Illinoisans probably found surprising wasn’t the verdict, but the fact that the governor was from Virginia.

One wag tweeted, “That’s so Illinois!”

When it comes to public corruption, Illinois is the punch line of every joke, even when the corruption is not our own.

Illinois has a huge problem with political corruption, and it goes beyond a few bad apples or simple human weakness.

The reality is bad, and the public perception is worse. Illinoisans believe that their politics, public officials, and governments are corrupt at every level.

Both the reality and the perception of public corruption impose huge costs on Illinois. Public corruption makes government inefficient and

ineffective. It destroys the public’s trust in the legitimacy and value of public policies and programs.

When the cynicism and frustration become too great, people stop voting or trying to influence public policy. Bright Kent young peoRedfield ple eschew a career in government.

And when average citizens check out, politicians of easy virtue and their shady friends step in to fill the vacuum.

What is the solution to Illinois’ corruption problem? We could enact new policies that make it more difficult to be corrupt and easier to get caught. We already went down that road in 1998, 2003, 2008, and 2009 in the aftermath of a series of political scandals.

Passing more laws may help – to some extent. But to make laws work, we need more change than what we can legislate. We

need real change in the hearts and minds of politicians and citizens.

Ethical behavior and trust have to be rebuilt one candidate at a time.

We need candidates who are willing to lead by example by giving up behavior that, even though it may be legal, leads to unethical conduct and the appearance of corruption.

Just as important, we need voters to hold them accountable.

FOR INSTANCE, IT may be legal to spend campaign funds on gifts, meals, no-interest personal loans, or travel that have nothing to do with getting elected. Legislators can recommend friends, relatives, contributors, and political supporters for government jobs or college admissions without breaking the law.

But that does not make it right. The road to political scandals and criminal indictments is paved with those kinds of personal

‘‘

ethical failures.

Legislators also routinely cast votes that benefit themselves, their supporters, or their contributors without recognizing or acknowledging a conflict of interest. Conflicts of interest cannot be avoided entirely, but they need to be recognized and publicly acknowledged.

For example, a legislator may have to vote on a bill that benefits a major campaign contributor.

This presents a legislator with a conflict of interest between a desire to please the contributor and a desire to make good public policy.

Note to readers: This is the fourth of a seven-part weekly series on various issues that impact the 2014 election campaign. It is the IGPA’s mission to help bring nonpartisan, expert information into the policy and political discussion in Illinois.

The legislator should publicly acknowledge the conflict of interest from the start. Even if the legislator makes the right decision in the face of a conflict of interest, the appearance of impropriety tarnishes the system, regardless of the result.

In response to these ethical dilemmas, politicians say, “Trust me.”

The problem is that Illinoisans simply don’t anymore.

To begin rebuilding that trust, individual candidates should commit publicly to a higher ethical standard – and then follow through with that pledge over and over again, even when it is hard and especially when no one is looking.

It is not enough to say, “Elect me, and I will be

fair and honorable.”

Candidates need to say, “Elect me, and I will make it a disadvantage to be my supporter, contributor, family member or friend when it comes to decisions about public policy.”

THAT SEEMS LIKE AN impossible standard. But until candidates at every level commit to this selfless pledge, Illinois’ culture of political corruption will remain, both in perception and in fact.

Note to readers: Kent Redfield is an emeritus professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Springfield and the Institute of Government and Public Affairs.

He was recently named Illinoisan of the Year by the Illinois News Broadcasters Association.

THE READER’S VOICE

On economy, Obama better than Reagan KATHRYN BONNELL Amboy

President Obama’s record on the economy is actually much stronger than Ronald Reagan’s record. In terms of employment, economic expansion, and financial investments, the state of the economy has improved more rapidly and robustly under Obama than it did under Reagan.

Job creation held steady above 200,000 new jobs a month for most of the year. Unemployment has fallen to 5.9 percent, down from 10 percent at

its peak. There have been 63 consecutive months of economic expansion.

Also, 25 months of increased manufacturing.

New orders for manufacturing have reached a level not seen since early 2004.

Under Reagan, investments increased 190 percent. Under Obama, they increased 220 percent.

If you own shares in a company, you are doing better. If you have a 401(k), you are doing much better. If you have an IRA, you are doing great. The Dow has reached record highs, too, more than 17,000.

Under Reagan, the deficit doubled. Under Obama, the deficit has declined. The size of government increased under Reagan and has declined

under Obama, much to the detriment of his overall employment numbers.

Given the strength of the Obama economy, he should be riding high in terms of approval rating, but for some reason, his approval ratings on the economy are low. I think it’s because he won’t toot his own horn. He’s not getting the message out.

So, I am here to toot his horn for him. Toot, toot.

Jesus said he was “the truth.” We can’t/won’t encourage that idea anymore. “Let God be true and every man a liar.”

What happens to a nation that chooses to forget the Bible? Maybe judgment happens. Is judgment happening, but we refuse to see it? Hardened hearts?

Getting into spirit of things

Lucas Museum gives most detailed version of its vision

Tasting event will benefit Discovery Center Museum

‘Star Wars’ creator to visit city Oct. 17

BY ANDREA MILLS amills@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5575

ROCKFORD – More than 80 spirits will be at the Discovery Center Museum, but they’re liquid, not ethereal.

Discover the Spirits, for those 21 and older, will be held Oct. 24.

This museum fundraising effort will blend sampling spirits with entertainment. Reed and Waddy, Sounds of Good News, and Frank Calvagna and Vince Chiarelli will bring their musical talents, and Roni Golan of State of the Art gallery will give a live painting performance.

Also part of the evening will be science demonstrations, a silent auction, food, talks with mixologists, and a palm reader to tell fortunes.

Dress is “black no tie” or black semi-casual.

Participants get a tasting glass and 10 spirits and/ or beer samples. Bottles of favorite drinks may be ordered, with a portion of the proceeds going to the museum.

Reservations are due

by Monday. Age identification is necessary at check-in.

Discovery Center Museum is a destination in itself to visit during regular hours, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

Family oriented, the museum has more than 250 hands-on exhibits.

Of particular interest is an exhibit open through Jan. 4 called “Build It! Make It!” that allows visitors to tinker and build with toys and materials from LEGOs to Lincoln Logs.

The exhibit’s focus is on creative thinking, so assembling is not only fun, but teaches. In con-

MCT News Service

CHICAGO – Pledging to “challenge the way people think about museums,” the coming Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will feature “popular art from illustration to comics, an insider’s perspective on the cinematic creative process, and the boundless potential of the digital medium.”

That’s part of the most detailed vision yet offered publicly for the new museum backed by “Star Wars” creator George Lucas and slated for Chicago Park District land in parkGeorge ing lots Lucas south of Soldier Field.

The museum quietly put up a new website this week (lucasmuseum. org) that replaces a more basic site and lays out Lucas’s vision in much more detail.

Especially intriguing is a section that suggests the Lucas, in addition to its other roles, will come very close to being a museum of cinema and cutting-edge film presentation space.

Museum officials weren’t commenting beyond what is available on the site, but Lucas, 70, is expected to have more to say on the topic when he appears at a Chicago Ideas Week event Oct. 17.

The Lucas is currently searching for a director, hoping to hire one by the end of the year, said a spokesperson. In the

Whether it’s an evening with the spirits or a day visit to the exhibits, Discovery Center Museum is not to be passed by.

meantime, the vision comes primarily from the film director and technical pioneer, she said.

Much of what the site has to say, clearly, is about its aspirations.

Plans will surely change and emphases shift as a leadership team is put in place. But the aspirations are large.

On the website, the museum pledges to highlight “educational outreach” and to sponsor a lecture series featuring “the most gifted, intriguing and inventive artists and filmmakers of our time, with topics spanning the spectrum from Comic Art to cutting-edge Digital Architecture.”

In the film realm, it wants to offer “a comprehensive collection of regional, national and international cinema, experimental and independent film, video, and digital media.” It pledges to “collaborate with local film festivals and present premieres and sneak previews of highly anticipated films.”

There’s more: “The Lucas Museum will regularly screen legendary archival films and offer conversations with filmmakers, film scholars and critics. In addition, the Museum will host workshops for schools, colleges and after-school programs, as well as lectures on the history of cinema, with an emphasis on regional cinema.”

All of the above comes under the heading “A new kind of museum.”

The Lucas’ apparent three principal subject areas are highlighted at the top of the home page, under three principal headers, “Narrative Art,” “Art of Cinema” and “Digital Art.”

No-trump often is iffy with a void Voltaire said, “Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause.”

He is being haphazard, not giving probability a percentage.

We hold a void occasionally at the bridge table. When you have a void and a decent suit fit, usually it will be better to play in that suit than in notrump – as in this deal.

I agree with South’s opening bid, even though a twoclub response would have been a tad uncomfortable.

A good partner would have shown a major. Here, though, North responded with a game-invitational three diamonds. (Some players would have preferred a game-invitational two no-trump. Best is a two-diamond inverted minor-

suit raise, if you employ that gizmo.)

Over three diamonds, South decided that his void justified heading for game. His threeheart rebid initially promised a

heart stopper and suggested a black-suit weakness for notrump purposes. North, with both black suits held, rebid three no-trump. Then South judged well not to pass.

The play was interesting in five diamonds. West led a low club, and East covered dummy’s card as cheaply as possible. Declarer ruffed, played a trump to dummy’s queen, cashed the heart ace, played a heart to his king, ruffed a heart in the dummy, ruffed a club in his hand, ruffed his last heart (East discarded a club), ruffed the club nine, played a spade to dummy’s king, and ruffed the club king. West, down to two spades and two diamonds, overruffed and cashed his high trump, but then had to lead away from the spade queen into South’s ace-jack.

More than the stars shine brightly in Texas Dear Abby, I am an adult heterosexual male who has discovered that I like wearing nail polish. I feel it should not be a matter of gender, but of taste and fashion.

I wore a reasonably bold color in public for the first time a week before last. It was a light, metallic blue that changes to green in the sunlight. I got a few raised eyebrows and a few compliments in my conservative, small town.

I was told, however, to leave the color red to the ladies.

I know some companies are already marketing nail color for men, and I hope nail decor for both genders will one day become

Frankly, I think that for an adult heterosexual male to wear light blue nail polish in public in the great state of Texas shows he is not only a trendsetter, but also has a lot of guts.

I recently met a guy who seems to be head over heels in love with me. He has had little education and abused drugs and alcohol for a long time, but he has changed now.

He has three children, but because he is unemployed, he’s exempt from paying alimony, and he is fine with the idea. He’d like to have them on weekends, but the mother won’t allow it.

Should I go ahead and date him? He doesn’t seem to mind that I have a child, but my intuition tells me he may be another fortune hunter.

ROCK FALLS

Coloma Township gets more time for financials Comptroller’s office gives 60-day extension

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570

ROCK FALLS – Coloma Township has received a 60-day extension from the Illinois Comptroller’s office for filing its 2013-14 annual report and audit.

The extension was requested by township supervisor David Blanton, who is working on the financials with accounting firm Wipfli, which has a Sterling office.

The township board approved the appointment of Blanton as supervisor on July 9. Blanton’s predecessor, Debra Burke, who had led the township since 1991, admitted that an audit had not been done since 1994.

In the wake of the township’s bookkeeping problems, the comptroller’s office handed down more than $13,000 in fines, because the township failed to submit a financial report for 4 years. The fines were eventually reduced to $3,200, which Burke paid out of her own pocket.

Blanton said it has been challenging to dig through years of

records and try to make sense of it all. The process has been a slow one, but he believes the report and audit will be finished soon.

“I’m optimistic that they will be done by the next deadline,” he said. “We would have liked to have started sooner, but I had no access to the financials for the first month, because the board had to give its approval.”

The board had considered having a 5-year forensic audit done, but decided against it because of the cost.

The board is revamping many of its policies and procedures to make it easier for bookkeep-

ing purposes. At Thursday’s meeting, the board approved an addition to clarify the prevailing wage policy, and set new limits and procedures for the use of credit cards.

In other matters, Becky Williamson, a resident of Maple Lane in Coloma Township, asked for the board’s help with a drainage ditch problem. She said she has been unable to get someone to address it for the past 3 years.

“The ditch hasn’t been cleaned in 30 years, the smell is awful, and the mosquitoes are terrible,” Williamson said. “The mosquitoes are so bad I can’t

even pull the weeds in my yard, and my grandchildren ached from all the bites.”

Blanton said there is a ditch committee that is within the county’s jurisdiction, not the township’s. He said he had pursued it anyway, and thought it had been taken care of.

Williamson said she was frustrated because she knows the money is available to take care of the problem.

“We haven’t had to pay anything into the ditch fund for 3 years because we were told there is plenty of money in that fund,” she said. “That’s what makes it even more frustrating.”

ELECTION 2014 | GOVERNOR’S RACE

Candidates offer differing Pretzel shop will open Saturday eyeing economic plans for Illinois Dunham’s Halloween opening PEORIA (AP) – Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican businessman Bruce Rauner pitched vastly different strategies Thursday for improving Illinois’ economy, with the incumbent pushing for an extension to the income tax increase and asking the wealthy to pay more.

His rival said the state can’t keep taxing its way out of its problems.

Less than 4 weeks before the Nov. 4 election, the candidates for Illinois governor met in Peoria for their first true, televised debate.

While both campaigns have worked furiously in recent months to make the contest as much about character as the serious issues facing the state, the debate focused heavily on topics such as the economy, Illinois’ $100 billion unfunded pension liability and budget problems.

Quinn told voters he inherited a mess when he took office in 2009 amid a recession and with Illinois’ last two governors going to prison. He noted unemployment is now at a 6-year low, and said the key to making Illinois more attractive to businesses is to invest in education. He’d do that

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn (left) answers questions while debating Republican gubernatorial candidate businessman Bruce Rauner Thursday in Peoria. by making the 67 percent income tax increase Democrats approved in 2011 permanent, rather than letting it decrease from 5 percent to 3.75 percent as scheduled on Jan. 1.

“I think the best way to go is to stay in this direction and do the right thing,” Quinn said.

The Chicago Democrat, who’s seeking his second full term, also supports a non-binding ballot measure to impose an additional 3 percent tax on incomes over $1 million – money that would go to schools.

Rauner opposes the socalled “millionaire tax,” which he says would put an added burden on fam-

ilies, farmers and small businesses.

The venture capitalist from Winnetka, who’s making his first bid for public office, also wants to reduce the income tax rate to its previous level of 3 percent over 4 years, which he says will make Illinois friendlier to business and lead to more job creation.

He refutes the Quinn campaign’s argument that his plan would lead to massive cuts to schools and other programs.

“We have got to grow our economy,” Rauner said. “What we can’t solve our problems by doing is just raising taxes on families like our current governor has done.”

STERLING – Didoughs Twisted Pretzel Co. will open Saturday at Northland Mall.

Owner Clay Begly said he received word from the Whiteside County Health Department Thursday morning, notifying him he was good to go.

In addition to the signature gourmet pretzels, the Didoughs menu fea-

tures pretzel dogs, and an array of pretzel sandwiches.

Begly, a Princeton resident, has three other Didoughs shops – the home base at Peru Mall, a store at Northwoods Mall in Peoria, and a restaurant in Ottawa.

The Sterling store will employ eight workers.

Begly said Northland Mall approached him about bringing Didoughs to Sterling. When he found out that two large retailers were coming to the mall, it made the decision much easier.

“I liked the area, but it made it even more appealing knowing that Rue 21 and Dunham’s were coming in,” Begly said.

Rue 21 opened in July, and Dunham’s Sports is still on target for an Oct. 31 opening.

“Things are going fantastic,” said John Watts, Dunham’s Sterling store manager. “The truckloads of merchandise just keep coming in, and everything’s getting set up.”

The Wisdom of Old Folks It is worthwhile spending time with folks who have “been around the block a time or two.” Older folks have been around long enough to have picked up some valuable wisdom along the way. I recently heard Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer being interviewed, and he mentioned that his father didn’t give much advice, which is usually wise, but that before he died he told him to stay on the payroll and to do your job, i.e., to do your job well.That reminds me of something my father always said, which was to always give your employer an honest day’s work.The first time I recall taking the time to sincerely listen to one of my elders was when I was in college and stopped my daily run to talk to an elderly gentleman from my neighborhood who was always out walking his small dog.

He always smiled and said “hello” and so I decided one day to cut my run short and talk to him for a few minutes. His advice was a simple reflection of his own life. Smile and say “hello” to everyone you meet was his kind advice. And then he told me to “be your own doctor.” His message was essentially that you know what’s good for you and what’s not, what to eat and how to keep your body healthy, so be your own doctor. Good advice coming from someone who was probably in his nineties at the time.

–Christopher Simon Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days.

FOOD

Flavors fuel industry, but remain a mystery NEW YORK (AP) – They help give Coke its distinctive bite and Doritos its cheesy kick. But the artificial and natural flavors used to rev up the taste of processed foods remain a mystery to most Americans.

“Artificial and natural flavors” have become ubiquitous terms on food labels, helping create vivid tastes that would otherwise be lost in mass production.

As the science behind them advances, however, some are calling for greater transparency about their

safety and ingredients.

Last month, five consumer and environmental groups sent a letter to the Food and Drug Administration expressing their concern about the flavor industry, which determines the safety of its own ingredients. The letter noted that safety is sometimes declared based on scientific data that isn’t publicly available.

“If we’re eating the stuff, it shouldn’t be such a secret,” said Lisa Lefferts, senior scientist at Center for Science in the Public Interest,

a nutrition advocacy group that was among those who sent the letter.

The call for more transparency comes as Americans pay closer attention to what they eat. In some cases, they’re petitioning companies to remove chemicals.

Many food scientists say the fears are unfounded because the unfamiliar ingredients often just mimic chemical structures found in nature or are used in trace amounts. But complaints have prompted companies including PepsiCo and Sub-

Obama wants focus on economy Pollster: President ‘not the most popular guy on the planet right now’ SANTA MONICA, Calif.

(AP) – President Barack Obama is all in with his economic pitch. The American public is not.

Over the next 27 days, either the public or the president is going to get the message.

In a midterm campaign strategy fraught with risk, the White House is betting that Obama’s tight embrace of the economic recovery and populist proposals for gender pay equity and a higher minimum wage will galvanize his core supporters and persuade fence-sitting independents to help Democrats retain narrow control of the Senate in November.

Addressing young entrepreneurs Thursday at a startup center in California, Obama highlighted his economic record for the third time in 8 days.

President Barack Obama pauses Thursday as he listens to a question during a town hall event at Cross Campus, a collaborative space that brings together freelancers, creative professionals, entrepreneurs and startup teams, in Santa Monica, California.

“A lot of you entered into the workforce during the worst financial crisis and then the worst recession since the Great Depression,” he told the gathering of mostly millennials, those born after 1980. “You are com-

ing out of this recession with the best educated, most diverse, most digitally fluent generation in American history.”

While noting that he’s not on the ballot in this election, Obama has become fond of saying that

his policies are at stake.

The line has prompted a reflexive flinch from Democrats trying to fend off a concerted Republican campaign to link Democratic opponents to the president.

For Democrats, the problem is not Obama’s message; it’s the pitchman.

“The messenger is not the most popular guy on the planet right now,” Democratic pollster Mark Mellman said.

Public opinion polls show substantial support for Obama’s proposals to raise the minimum wage, seek pay equity for women and close corporate tax loopholes. But on the economic issues he’s most associated with – the fitful recovery from the Great Recession and his health care law – the American public is not with him.

The new family portrait? 3D-printed statue selfies He had the statue made on a lark. While waiting for his brother at a mall, he stepped into a studio that scanned his body and sent the scan off to a 3-D printer. These studios are popping up rapidly as 3-D scanning and printing technology gets more advanced.

In New York City alone, there are at least four stores that offer the service, including three just in the past year. You can get scanned in just a few seconds and get your statue delivered in days.

The advent of digital cameras and smartphones killed the traditional mall

portrait studio, but 3-D printing has sparked a new trend. Overloaded with digital photos, statues may be moving in to fulfill our desire for portraits that stand out.

Many of the customers of the statue studios are parents who want statues of their kids.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS | WEEK 7 MENDOTA AT ROCK FALLS

DIXON AT STILLMAN VALLEY

Friday Night Lights a sight for sore eyes Rockets hope to finish tough week on high note

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5554

After a lot of adversity off the field this week, Friday night’s football game is a welcome relief for the Rock Falls Rockets.

After head coach Scott Berge was suspended for the rest of the season to start the week, and with it being homecoming week, the Rockets (0-6) have had plenty of outside circumstances that could have been a distraction.

But according to acting head coach Jay Mammosser, he hasn’t seen much of that at all from the team.

Milestone secondary

Dixon’s Smith only concerned with beating Stillman

A host of Rock Falls Rockets tackle a Stillman Valley player during last Friday’s game at Hinders Field. The Rockets host Mendota tonight in a BNC West game.

Dave Smith is on the verge of a personal milestone heading into tonight’s game at Stillman Valley.

The fourth-year Dixon football coach needs a win against the Cardinals to reach 100 for his career. He had 50 at Burlington Central, 12 at Princeton, and 28 at Mt. Zion before coming to Dixon.

In three-plus seasons guiding the Dukes, his teams have won nine times, leaving him with 99 victories.

Smith was unaware of being one win shy of 100, and unconcerned about it after finding out.

The Royals’ Eric Hosmer (right) bumps chests with Alex Gordon after hitting a two-run home run in the 11th inning of Game 2 in the ALDS against the Angels. The Royals are built on speed, but aren’t incapable of hitting the long ball. Their ALCS opponents, the Orioles, are built on power, but can steal a base from time to time.

Royals, Orioles: A study in contrasting offenses

BY DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

FYI

BALTIMORE – Speed versus Power.

The surprising Kansas City Royals and unflappable Baltimore Orioles are extremely similar with one significant exception: the fashion in which they score runs.

The team that best utilizes its standard method of offense will likely win the best-of-seven AL Championship Series, which begins Friday night.

Get ready for small ball versus long ball.

Back in April, few could have predicted these two teams would be the last standing in the American League. But the fashion in which they got here – with stunningly easy sweeps in the Division Series – makes this matchup intriguing.

Even more interesting is their contrasting styles.

The Royals love to take an extra base, whether it’s turning a single into a double, or stealing their way into scoring position. Kansas City led the majors with 153 stolen bases during the regular season, then, with blazing-fast rookie Terrance Gore, added seven in a wild-card win over Oakland and five more in a three-game wipeout of the topseeded Los Angeles Angels.

“Speed. That’s what we do,” designated hitter Billy Butler said. “Obviously, you have to be smart about it, but we’re a very aggressive team. When our

• These two teams first played in 1969, when the Royals entered the league as an expansion team. Kansas City won the first game, and then lost the next 23 to the Orioles. This is the first time the two teams will meet in the postseason. speed guys get on, they like to go.

That’s what got us to this point – that, and pitching and defense.”

The Orioles, like the Royals, feature a solid starting rotation, an effective bullpen, and a strong defense. But Baltimore prefers to take a more leisurely trip around the bases.

Although Baltimore finished dead last in the majors with 44 stolen bases, it led the majors with 211 home runs. Nelson Cruz had 40 of them, only 55 fewer than the Royals hit while finishing last in the big leagues as the only team that didn’t hit 100.

And so, the lines are drawn.

Whichever pitching staff can stifle the opposition’s preferred method of offense will likely be working in the World Series.

“Obviously, we’ll be asked to keep the Orioles in check in terms of their power and the big inning,” said Royals right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, who pitched for Baltimore from 2007-11. “On the flip side, the Orioles pitchers will be asked to try and keep our guys off base, and not allow us to string together a couple of hits to

get us runs.”

It’s really that simple.

“The best way to keep them from stealing is to keep them off the bases. That’s our first goal,” Baltimore reliever Tommy Hunter said. “I’m not too worried about it. You know they’re fast, you know they run. Hopefully, they run into outs.”

That doesn’t mean Kansas City can’t go deep, or the Orioles are unable to run. It’s just that each team has adopted the style best suited for its own stadium.

“The Royals can hit home runs.

They just play in a big ballpark,” Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones said. “They’ve got guys who can drive the ball, and we’ve also got guys who can run. In our ballpark, it brings a different dynamic because it’s smaller, in their ballpark, it brings a different dynamic because it’s bigger. But we’ve got some hairy guys on our team. If we’re hitting in the Grand Canyon, we can still put ’em out.”

Cruz homered in the Orioles’ clinching win over Detroit on Sunday, and just a few hours later Eric Hosmer and Mike Moustakas each contributed a two-run shot in the Royals’ 8-3 win over L.A. “Home runs are definitely a difference-maker in the game,” Butler said. “That’s what we’ve done in the playoffs. We’ve had home runs win games, but that hasn’t been the way we won games throughout the season.

Still, they’re good to have when you get them.”

Bat becoming Carpenter’s new tool

Cardinals leadoff hitter providing unexpected power in postseason

BY R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS – Matt Carpenter became a high-end leadoff man because of his smarts, production, and ability to work counts.

Now, add bat to be feared.

The lefty-swinging third baseman led the St. Louis Cardinals’ sudden power surge in the NL Division Series, ending some of the chatter about the team’s season-long long-ball shortage.

The Cardinals hit 105 homers during the season, second-fewest in the majors ahead of only the cross-state Royals, also still playing this October. St. Louis belted seven against the Dodgers, with Carpenter connecting in three straight games.

The homers accounted for 13 of the Cardinals’ 18 runs in the fourgame series.

“Yeah, we’ve heard a lot about that this season, the lack of homers,” manager Mike Matheny said. “We’ve got guys who can do

Matt Carpenter hit eight home runs during the regular season, before hitting one in three straight games against the Dodgers in the NLDS. He’s been a big spark in leading the Cardinals into the NLCS against the Giants. it, but we’re still not preaching it.

“They’re just taking good at-bats, and when they do, the ball’s going to jump out from time to time,” Matheny added.

Carpenter totaled eight home runs in the regular season, none of them in consecutive games,

before joining Albert Pujols as the lone Cardinals player to homer in three successive postseason games. The feat is all the more exceptional given all three came in lefty-lefty matchups.

Carpenter led the Cardinals with seven RBIs in the series. He said the

key is staying in there to be able to reach the breaking balls heading for the other side of the plate.

Carpenter’s consistent, intensely-focused approach reminds Matheny of Pujols in his prime.

“I think it’s a confidence thing, too,” Carpenter said. “For the most part, the overall theme is you want to stay on them and try to use the whole field.”

Left-handed batters hit five homers off Dodgers lefties in the series after totaling eight during the season.

Matt Adams had the biggest of the five, hitting a go-ahead threerun shot off likely NL Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw in the clinching Game 4.

LOCAL ROUNDUP

NASCAR | SPRINT CUP

Now or never for Johnson Hendrick driver treating Charlotte race as must-win

Cardinals, Fillies, Steamers all pick up TRAC West wins at home

BY JOHN ZENOR AP Sports Writer

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Jimmie Johnson is treating Charlotte as a must-win race.

The alternative for the six-time Sprint Cup champion is leaving it all up to the chaotic, utterly unpredictable Talladega Superspeedway, where a driver’s fate can careen out of his hands in an instant.

“I’m not in the position I want to be in,” Johnson, who won the title last year, said Wednesday during a promotional appearance at UAB. “I hate not being in control of my own destiny. The race in Kansas went about as bad as it could. We need to turn things around in Charlotte so we don’t show up to our most treacherous racetrack needing a win.”

Johnson is last in the 12-driver field, with four getting knocked out after next weekend’s Talladega race. The only way to control his own fate is to pick up his second straight win at Charlotte, securing himself an automatic berth into the next round. Joey Logano claimed a spot by winning at Kansas, where Johnson didn’t help his own case.

He was involved in an early accident and finished 40th, his worst Chase finish since the 2005 finale.

“The first part of the week, we struggled with qualifying,” Johnson said. “Everything on Saturday in race trim, we did much better with the race car, had a competitive car.

It was just mired in traffic, and on that one restart, the 16 car [Greg Biffle] just came up and hit me and spun me around. The 11 car [Denny Hamlin] and I were dancing, and I think he finished somewhere in the Top 10, near the Top 5, and I think we could have ended up right there with them, but we just got crashed before we had a chance to get there.”

Hamlin finished seventh.

There are worse tracks for Johnson to head to in such a precarious

Jimmie Johnson prepares for Thursday’s practice for Saturday’s NASCAR Bank of America Sprint Cup race in Concord, N.C. Johnson currently sits in last place in the 12-man Chase for the Championship. position than Charlotte Motor Speedway, where he won for a record seventh time in May. He’s won twice at Talladega, for that matter.

The huge superspeedway and its ever-present threat of racealtering crashes can work for you or against you. Johnson knows he could advance based on points with a strong performance.

“But I really feel like I have to go to Charlotte and win the race to control my own destiny,” he said.

Johnson is seeking a recordtying seventh series title, which would place him alongside Hall of Famers Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

Johnson feels this is the most highly pressurized situation he’s been in since Homestead in 2012, where he and Brad Keselowski were going head to head for the title. A mechanical problem ended Johnson’s chances.

Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. is only one spot ahead of him, while Keselowski is 10th, and another teammate, Kasey Kahne, stands ninth.

Johnson knows he’d be hypocritical to criticize the old championship format in which he had dominated the series. He won five consecutive championships from 2006 through 2010, and added No. 6 last season.

The new 16-driver elimination system whittles down to four eligible drivers racing in a winnertake-all finale.

Johnson can’t argue with the drama it has generated going into the next two races, in a situation that’s not too different from the drama that college football’s fourteam playoff could generate late in the season.

“I think it’s going to take things to the next level,” Johnson said.

“It’s going to be very important for a handful of guys in Charlotte to have a good race, including myself. Then you roll into Talladega, and who knows what environment we’ll have to deal with there.

“But by NASCAR’s design, this is what they wanted. They wanted multiple story lines, they wanted to create drama. And boy, do we have it on an epic level right now.”

Quarterback James Carroll leads an athletic, speedy bunch who can attack out of a variety of formations.

“They’re versatile; they can go at you from the pistol, then line up and run the Wing-T, and do it with equal success,” Mammosser said. “We’ve got to keep the ball in our hands and sustain drives, then contain their speed and make them

Offensively, the Rockets will have a few wrinkles ready to throw at Mendota, but the main focus is ball-control. The best way to keep the Trojans in check is to keep the ball away from them … and the best way to do that is to complete passes and take what the defense gives you.

“We have to mix things up, attack the open holes and find the weak spots,” Lenox said. “We have to keep the momentum, and if we get something going, we have to finish it by scoring.”

Defensively, Rock Falls knows it’s going to be

difficult to shut down Mendota completely.

But going up against a plan somewhat similar to the one they see across the ball every day in practice should have the Rockets familiar with the game plan.

“They like to get to the outside, so we have to get out there and make them turn back in,” Doering said. “We have to get off our blocks, break down and wrap up when we tackle … but I think since we have to play like that every day against our own offense, we’ll be confident in what we have to do.”

If the Dukes were to pull that off, it would make Smith, a 1980 Dixon graduate, a happy man. His team would be 5-2, playoff eligible for the first time 2006, and, in the big picture, a program seemingly on the

SCOREBOARD

CHICAGO BEARS

Players better off without Twitter I

like to think I know a lot about the NFL, but obviously nobody knows everything.

Wednesday night on the “Boers and Bernstein Show” on AM-670 the Score, a caller asked me why NFL players need someone to squirt water in their mouths during games.

If you’ve ever watched a game, you know it’s true, but it’s not something I’ve ever thought about, and I don’t have a clue.

The best you can do is make sure you’re right more often than you’re wrong, and have answers more often than you don’t.

I like to think I know a fair amount about young adults, too. I’ve got three kids and a barrel full of nieces and nephews I’ve raised and counseled through the years, and they’ve all turned into pretty solid citizens.

No, I don’t always get their music, wardrobes, tattoos, or dietary choices, but we do all share a common understanding of right and wrong.

Particularly puzzling to me is young people’s fascination with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc., and I’m flat-out dumbfounded when a seemingly bright, extremely successful 27-year-old thinks it’s OK to use his Twitter account to tell the people most responsible for his good fortune to “eat dirt.”

It’s just wrong on so many levels, and you have to wonder what Lamarr Houston was thinking.

Let’s be absolutely clear, this is not just about Lamarr Houston.

Fans owe players absolutely nothing. That is not a hard reality to grasp or understand.

I do have a simple answer for a large chunk of this player ignorance.

AP Just make a rule that The Bears’ Lamarr Houston (99) rushes the passer last Sunday against the NFL players can’t use Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. Houston was apologetic for an unkind tweet about their Twitter accounts in season.

Fast start, fumble-filled finish in Houston Colts hold off late charge by Texans

BY KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer

HOUSTON – Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts had a great first quarter, and did just enough the rest of the way to hold off the Houston Texans 33-28 on Thursday night.

The Colts (4-2) raced to a 24-0 lead after one quarter, but allowed Houston to cut it to 33-28 early in the fourth quarter on J.J. Watt’s fumble return for a touchdown.

The Texans (3-3) had two opportunities to take the lead late, but the Colts recovered fumbles by Andre Johnson and Ryan Fitzpatrick in the last 5 minutes.

Luck finished with 370 yards passing and a three touchdowns, and T.Y. Hilton had a career-high 223 yards receiving with a touchdown to give Indy first place in the AFC South.

The Texans were driving with less than 5 minutes remaining when Johnson, who had been called for pass interference two plays earlier, caught a 13-yard pass and fumbled.

Watt knocked down Luck’s pass on third down on Indy’s next drive to give Houston one last chance. But Bjoern Werner sacked Fitzpatrick and stripped the ball, and D’Qwell Jackson recovered.

Fitzpatrick threw for 212 yards and a touchdown, and Arian Foster had 109 yards rushing with two scores for Houston.

Indianapolis led by 12 when Luck fumbled and Watt recovered it and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. It was Watt’s third touchdown this season. He also has scored on an interception return and a reception.

Foster had a 34-yard run before Johnson grabbed a 26-yard reception to get Houston down

The Colts’ Andrew Luck (12) throws a pass as the Texans’ J.J. Watt (99) applies pressure during the first quarter Thursday in Houston. The Colts beat the Texans 33-28. to the 2 in the third quarter. Foster ran wide before cutting back inside and into the end zone untouched on the next play to get the Texans to 27-21.

The Texans were within six points in the third quarter when Luck, who was under heavy pressure, threw a 33-yard touchdown pass to Hilton. The 2-point conversion failed, leaving Indianapolis up 33-21.

After a dreadful first quarter where Houston managed just 2 yards, the Texans’ offense finally got going in the second quarter. They kicked a field goal on fourth-and-5, but the Colts got a penalty to give Houston a new set of downs.

They took advantage of the

opportunity when Fitzpatrick found Johnson in the corner of the end zone, and he managed to get both feet in bounds for a 4-yard touchdown two plays later to cut the lead to 24-7. It was the first touchdown of the season for Johnson.

Houston got the ball back when Jared Crick tipped a pass

by Luck that was intercepted by Justin Tuggle.

The Texans got to 24-14 when Foster scored on a 12-yard run.

The Colts added field goal to make it 27-14.

Luck found Hilton on a 40-yard pass early in the first quarter, but Indy’s offense stalled after that and the Colts settled for a field goal to make it 3-0.

Trent Richardson had a 5-yard touchdown run on a two-play drive that included a 49-yard pass to Hilton.

The play was originally ruled a touchdown after Hilton recovered from a fall seemingly untouched by defender Kareem Jackson and reached the end zone. The play was reviewed and the call reversed, with Hilton ruled down by contact at the 5.

The Colts pushed the lead to 17-0 when Ahmad Bradshaw scored on a 5-yard pass from Luck with about 7 minutes left in the first quarter.

Luck capped a long drive with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Coby Fleener at the end of the first quarter to extend the lead to 24-0.

Hawks take control late Chicago rallies after slow start on road to win opener

BY SCHUYLER DIXON AP Sports Writer

DALLAS – Patrick Sharp scored the tying goal in the third period, Patrick Kane had the only goal in the shootout, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Dallas Stars 3-2 Thursday night.

The Stars had turned away several good scoring chances for the high-scoring duo of Kane and Jonathan Toews before Sharp, who had 10 points in five games against Dallas last season, beat Kari Lehtonen 11:10 into the third.

Kane beat Lehtonen high on the glove side in the shootout. Corey Crawford stopped Dallas tries from Tyler Seguin, Jason Spezza, and Ales Hemsky.

Dallas forced overtime by killing Jordie Benn’s delay-of-game penalty in the final 2 minutes of regulation. Vernon Fiddler was stopped

by Crawford on a good short-handed chance early in the penalty, and the two got tangled up while play continued at the other end. The Blackhawks didn’t get a great scoring chance in what amounted to a

5-on-3 opportunity.

The Stars outshot Chicago 24-11 through two periods before the Blackhawks controlled the pace in the third period and overtime.

Chicago had only one shot in the extra period, but had the puck in the Dallas end throughout. Kane just missed on a spinning attempt as he sent the puck through an empty crease after some nifty stick-handling.

Duncan Keith opened the scoring with a shot deep in the right circle.

CONTINUED FROM B1

“In the third set, they were making mistakes, and we just kept going hard,” Newman said.

“We just worked together, and it was good that we did that. Once we got a hang of how each other played, we knew we would do real good.”

“Like who was better at what, and who made better net shots, and better serves,” added Ackerson.

The teams split the singles matches and the first and second doubles matches. In No. 2 singles, Dixon senior Stephanie Tressel had a lengthy first few points with Newman’s Maddie Klein, but had little problem afterward in a 6-2, 6-0 win.

With the four other matches into their sixth point of the first set, Tressel and Klein were on their fourth point, but the match was the first to conclude. Tressel worked on her speed in getting the win.

“I had a good attitude and was giving it my all,” Tressel said. “Normally, I’m not super-duper fast at getting there, but I did pretty good with that today.”

In No. 2 doubles, Dixon’s

Newman’s Chantel Ordean returns a serve during the No. 1 doubles match Thursday against Dixon at Page Park. Ordean teamed with Anne Vits to defeat Dixon’s Aleasha Penn and Rachael Turffs 6-2, 6-1. team of Jacqueline Fazekas and Alane Bratt went three sets against Newman’s Sydney Ybarra and Rachel Heiderscheit.

The Duchess duo led 5-2, but had difficulty putting the match away, dropping the next two points before closing it out.

“We had success with our doubles and our No. 2 singles,” Dixon coach Steve Boll said. “Newman has a nice team, they always do, and this time we were able to have some success against them and come out on top with a close win. I was

happy for our seniors; for some, this was their last match of their high school career.”

Newman’s wins came in No. 1 singles and No. 1 doubles. Newman’s Emily Long won her first set against Katie Hammitt 6-3, before Hammitt took the second set by the same score.

After falling behind 1-0 to kick off the third set, Long won the next four points to send her to the win. Anne Vits and Chantal Ordean had little trouble dispatching Aleasha Penn and Duchess senior Rachael Turffs 6-2, 6-1.

The Comets (5-9) have one more date on the schedule, going to the Mendota Invitational on Saturday before competing at the Belvidere North Sectional next Saturday. Dixon (3-13), which won its first dual match since Sept. 19 against United Township, will have a 9-day break before sectionals.

“Two of our losses were in three sets, so the matches were very close,” Newman coach Ann Propheter said. “All of the girls played real well. We won the one singles and the one doubles, so I’m pleased with that. We hope that our younger girls will just improve over the years.”

Astrograph Don’t take on too much Friday, October 10, 2014 Some phenomenal opportunities are headed your way. Maintain a businesslike attitude and don’t let emotional or personal issues keep you from wholeheartedly pursuing your goals. Your romantic life is moving in an upward direction as well, so prepare for a great year all around.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Pamper yourself. A trip, a treat or an educational or creative pastime will help you to calm down and ease your stress. Put love on a pedestal and romance someone special.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Get busy taking care of odd jobs around the house.

Disagreements will get blown out of proportion if you aren’t willing to compromise or back down. Keep the peace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Gambling or dubious financial ventures are to be avoided at all costs. If you are considering a way to increase your earnings, do your homework and talk to a professional adviser.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Plan a family day if your

schedule has been filled with work or other commitments.

Whether you get away or just stay home, your time will be appreciated.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A request for help will have some strings attached. Be sure you know what you are getting into if you are asked to do something that sounds fishy.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Children have feelings, too.

Make an effort to spend more time with the youngsters in your life. Listening to complaints and sharing ideas will lead to unexpected and helpful insight.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your loved ones will be less than thrilled with your controlling tactics. Keep your opinions to yourself and make a genuine effort to share equally.

The family that plays together stays together.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You may be lacking stimulation or inspiration. Head to the library or look on the Internet for topics that challenge and enlighten you. Check out your community calendar for local events as well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You have to pick and choose your activities carefully.

Someone will be annoyed with your lack of commitment to a joint venture. Rearrange your schedule to ease the pressure.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t take on too much.

Your health will suffer if you are relentless in your pursuits and lack common sense. Don’t be shy; ask for help.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An evening of entertainment with friends or a loved one will put the smile back on your face.

Recharge your batteries and reignite your love life at the same time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Property or real estate offers look favorable. Consider launching a business idea that you’ve been working on. Financial gains are possible if you take a chance.
