But officials taking precaution, adding screening processes

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

STERLING – With two nurses now infected with Ebola after treating the man who died of the disease at Dallas hospital, health care agencies around America are amping up their precautions, including those in the Sauk Valley.

Wednesday morning, KSB Hospital posted on its website the precautionary steps staffers will take to screen potential Ebola patients, and, although it hasn’t posted about it, CGH Medical Center staff will be doing the same thing.

Both Lee and Whiteside county health departments are in close contact with their respective hospitals to monitor and adjust precautionary measures for what health workers are calling an “evolving situation.”

The CDC is usually a very forward-thinking and very knowledgeable organization, but they’ve kind of dropped the ball – at least on the preliminary stages of how to deal with these things.

DIXON – University of Illinois student Patrick Taylor of Dixon, owner of the beloved and iconic Chicken Car, has been the victim of fowl play (a completely appropriate use of this pun, we promise.)

Posted Sunday on the Champaign County Crime Stoppers website (with a few minor edits): “Rooster Tail Plucked from Chicken Car “Crime Stoppers and Champaign Police are seeking information regarding an unusual incident involving theft and criminal damage to property.”

More from the Crime Stoppers site: “The victim reported that between 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 24 and 9 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 25, a custom fiberglass rooster tail was plucked from the trunk lid of a white 1996 Ford Mustang [actually, it’s a ’93]. The trunk lid was damaged in the process.

The rooster tail is white in color with black air brushed feather markings and is approximately 4 feet in height. The value of the rooster tail is estimated at $3,000 [and that’s not chicken feed].

“A witness reported observing four males

and a female running westbound on Chalmers Street carrying the stolen rooster tail.”

According to his Facebook page (search for Chicken Car), Taylor is offering a $250 reward for information on those involved in “dismembering” his bird, along with the usual Crime Stoppers reward, but as of Wednesday, no suspects, no arrests, hardly a peep outta anyone, a Champaign PD spokeswoman said.

And this on top of a previous vandalism in August, when someone plucked out the big bird’s eyeballs. It’s been a rough ride for this rooster.

There’s a huge flock of Chicken Car fans out there, and Taylor is grateful for all their kind words, he said.

He and his dad, David, did spend some time last weekend repairing the holes where the rivets were ripped out, and priming the trunk top; they’ll be repainting it soon, he said.

He’d like to replace the tail, but estimates put the figure at $3,000 to $5,000, which is no poultry sum for a struggling college student.

By Gina Kraman Parents dread that call from their teenager, who’s borrowed the car: “I’ve been in a car accident.”

You’re glad he’s okay since he’s able to talk on the telephone. Your next thoughts concern your car, and the tedious insurance and car repair process.

According to the National Highway Safety Administration (NHSA), there were an estimated 6,800 traffic fatalities from crashes in the first quarter of 2014.

The good news: that’s a 4.9% decrease compared to a year ago.

NHSA credits part of the decrease to safer cars, equipped with electronic stability controls to detect and correct loss of traction.

Less skidding means fewer accidents.

next with their car, which may necessitate towing.

Car damage from even a simple accident can mean a huge bill and a jump in insurance rates. In addition to auto body damage, the mechanical functions of the car can be impacted. Sometimes during the process of dismantling the car to complete repairs, technicians uncover other problems.

Insurance companies can recommend body shops to start the repair process.

Slim-n-Hank’s, a full-service auto body shop with locations in Sterling and Dixon, is a family-owned business that’s been towing and repairing cars from collisions for 52 years.

Owner Ross Thuente says, “We understand how stressful an accident can be, and we can serve as the liaison between the customer and the insurance company to make the claims process easier. We also work with area car rental agencies to secure a car while repairs are underway.”

And when accidents do occur, drivers in vehicles that are engineered with more safety features stay safer, even when their cars withstand severe impact.

Milder winter predicted Board reviews Accuweather releases 2014-15 forecast; less-than-average snowfall expected

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

STERLING – As hard as it is to accept, winter is coming. But, the good news is that it won’t be nearly as bad as last year.

Accuweather on Wednesday released its 2014-15 winter forecast, which predicts lesst h a n - a v e r a g e s n o wfall amounts (Chicago might fail to see even 30 inches) and temperatures 7 to 9 degrees warmer than last year, though still about 2 degrees colder than average.

And while last winter weather came early and lasted well into the spring, Mother Nature’s giving us a break this year, Accuweather meteorologist Dave Samuhel said. “It looks like it’ll be a little bit slower to start than it was last year,� he said. “I think December is probably going to average a little above normal, temperaturewise, so a slow start to winter, but then it could come in a hurry.�

The polar vortex will continue to play a factor in the weather patterns, with strong arctic blasts occasionally dipping down into the state. But this year, Illinois won’t be taking a central place in the bursts. They’ll be edging farther east, he said.

For those who don’t know, the polar vortex is a permanent weather pattern that usually resides around the North Pole, but sometimes atmospheric changes can mess with

Ty Henkel helps his mom, Tiffany, clear the sidewalk in December 2013 in front of their Dixon home. Accuweather on Wednesday released its 2014-15 winter forecast, which predicts less-than-average snowfall amounts and temperatures 7 to 9 degrees warmer than last year, though still about 2 degrees colder than average. it, displacing the cold air and sending it south.

A study published in September linked the effect to climate change – a theory that’s been bumped around weather-watching circles since last winter.

Scientists from research institutions in Korea, Washington state, and Alaska worked together for 3

years following a number of historically cold winters in Korea to see what might be causing them. Their answer: climate change.

As ocean temperatures warm and polar sea ice melts, the report says, that opens up the warm ocean water to the atmosphere. That warm air then pushes up and destabilizes the

rapidly swirling winds that make up the polar vortex, and that keep the Arctic air where it’s supposed to be.

When the vortex is destabilized, it can send that air shooting south, like it did last winter, and – as Samuhel said – like it did this summer, which was why our summer months, too, were cooler than usual.

DIXON – The School Board is looking for a superintendent who is an outstanding communicator, a sound fiscal manager and a person with selfconfidence.

A sense of humor wouldn’t hurt, either.

On Wednesday, board members got a look at the final 10 applicants who are vying to become the next superintendent of the school district.

Since it was a personnel issue, the board went behind closed doors after the regular meeting to review the applicants. “We will be discussing what these applicants have to offer and who we want to bring in for an interview,�

Pam Tourtillott, president of the Dixon School Board, said moments before going behind closed doors. “As a board, we will determine who is the best fit for the district.�

That person will replace Michael Juenger, who will retire at the end of the school year after spending the past 6 years as superintendent.

Juenger whittled a list of 22 applicants down to 10.

He said the board would interview four to six applicants, adding that those who will be brought in will be notified by Wednesday.

The board wants a candidate who has the ability to assist the board

with implementation of short-, intermediate- and long-range goals in areas of instruction, curriculum and community relations, among other things.

The board also wants someone who will instill confidence throughout the district by building mutual respect and trust, serving as a model and mentor to staff and ensuring accountability throughout the system.

Although the board will have the final say in the next superintendent, Tourtillott said the board will discuss ways to include other members of the school district. “The board will not be the only ones visible to these candidates,� she said. “There will be administrators and teachers that will meet with them, as well.�

The new superintendent’s annual salary, fringe benefits, contractual terms and conditions will be based on the appointee’s education and experience.

The superintendent is expected to have a multiyear contract, which could require that person to live in the school district.

If all goes well, a new leader of the school district will be named at the Nov. 19 board meeting.

EBOLA

No one at KSB was available for comment Wednesday, but Lee County Health Administrator Cathy Ferguson said they’re following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines, as far as isolation and precautions go.

She and KSB healthcare administrators met last week, she said, to talk about protocols and what to do, should someone present symptoms.

According to KSB’s site, patients will be asked this series of Ebola-related questions when making an appointment over the phone, when registering for an appointment, and when checking into the emergency room: • Do you have a fever?

• Have you had residence in or traveled to an area in West Africa where Ebola is known to be active (Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, or Nigeria) within the past 21 days?

• Have you had contact with anyone who has traveled to any of the above areas or has come in contact with someone who has?

At CGH, they have a similar screening process, President and CEO Dr. Paul Steinke said.

Next week, Whiteside County health officials, emergency responders, and hospital administrators are meeting to talk about what actions to take in various circumstances.

Whiteside County Public Health Administrator Beth Fiorini said she called the meeting specifically for the purpose of talking about how to prepare.

Lee County’s Ferguson said she was planning a similar meeting for next week with law enforcement and the state’s attorney to talk about the legal side of things.

“It’s an evolving situation, and hopefully we won’t have a case in Illinois, but you just never know, so it definitely

behooves us to prepare just in case,” Ferguson said. “Dallas is a good lesson for everybody.”

“It is an evolving problem,” CGH’s Steinke said.

“The CDC is usually a very forward-thinking and very knowledgeable organization, but they’ve kind of dropped the ball – at least on the preliminary stages on how to deal with these things.”

He said CGH is going above and beyond when it comes to precautions healthcare workers are supposed to take. While the CDC recommends a mask with a facial shield, he said, CGH workers are

being told to wear fullbody suits like the ones that people dealing with hazardous materials wear.

“It might be overkill, and it’s not what the CDC guideline is, but it is of an abundance of precautions that we’re calling for that,” Steinke said.

He joined the chorus of other healthcare administrators, here and nationwide, who are advising the public that “now is not the time to panic.”

“It’s a time to plan and train and make sure that we train well,” he said.

“So that we’re ready should it come to that.”

Little revealed about second infected nurse Obama cancels campaign trip to address outbreak

DALLAS (AP) – A dated yearbook picture of a smiling young woman has become the latest face of Ebola in the United States The high school picture of Amber Vinson spread across the country after the 29-year-old nurse was confirmed with the virus Wednesday. But little was publicly revealed about her, beyond the image of her with a wide grin, tipped head and shiny pink blouse.

Vinson lived in Akron, Ohio, and went to Kent State University, where she received degrees in 2006 and 2008, the university said. She was licensed as a registered nurse in Ohio on Feb. 2, 2009, and remains licensed there, though she has since moved to Dallas.

She became an R.N. in Texas on Aug. 22, 2012.

Vinson lived in an unpretentious rental in The Village.

It’s been the home to countless other workers at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, which is just 2 miles away, including other people on the team that cared for Thomas Eric Duncan, the Ebola patient who died Oct. 8.

Amid growing concern, President Barack Obama canceled a campaign trip to address the outbreak and vowed his administration would respond in a “much more aggressive way” to Ebola cases in the United States.

MORRISON

‘I’m in your hands’ City Council brings back Faith helps Anne Davis deal with breast cancer

Bustling sports complex creates a need to resurrect it

BY JOHN KERMOTT Special to SVM

DIXON – Breast cancer survivor Anne Davis chooses to believe that there’s meaning behind her life.

“You know, I am a believer in God, a strong believer,” the Dixon resident said. “I believe in talking to God about everything, whether it’s small or great.”

In 2012, Davis was confronted with a great need. A mammogram showed that she had cancer in both breasts.

“I came home and I just said, ‘I’m not going to wait. I’m going to pray now.’ I would pray and go from prayer to praise and back to prayer, every day, every day,” she said of her strategy to deal with her cancer.

But how, someone might ask, is that a strategy? What good does it do?

“I felt like this is a lesson for me to learn, and I feel that whatever we go through we can trust [God],” Davis said.

“Don’t lean on our own understanding. We have to trust him. Why worry about something that you have no control over?”

That is what Davis did.

“I told the Lord, ‘You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to just turn my life over to you.

I’m in your hands,’” she said.

“One day I was walking through the house and I heard the Spirit of Lord say to me, ‘Who forgiveth thee of all thine iniquities and healeth thee of all thine diseases.’ Every

Davis said that strategy enabled her to live above the cancer rather than being overwhelmed by it. She had surgery and 5 weeks of radiation, but “was never fearful, never depressed.”

“I told the Lord, ‘God, I’m going to live my life to the fullest. You said that you give your beloved rest and peace, and God, that is what I expect from you.’ I was never discouraged, never cried, never felt sorry for myself.”

Through it all she trusted God to take care of her. He worked it out for family to be around her and for

her oldest daughter to come from Las Vegas, to be with her through the surgery and radiation. (She spoke fondly of her son-in-law, who held down the fort while his wife was away.) And she believes God led her to a doctor who had chosen to believe in meaning, rather than meaninglessness, too.

“I had a connection, like a spiritual bond with him,” she explained. “He was talking about the spiritual side of my life, and I hadn’t said anything about it. He said, ‘I’m going to be your doctor.’

So God had given me his favor. He would take care of everything.

“I really wanted to share my story with someone, because some are so fearful. But God wants us to trust him. I can only boast in him!”

The Morrison City Council next meets at 7 p.m. Oct. 27 in the Whiteside County board room at 400 N. Cherry St. in Morrison.

Visit morrisonil.org or call City Hall at 815772-7657 for an agenda or more information.

DuBois said that when he started in Morrison, the sports complex was just opening. Now the facility takes up most of his time, but he is still trying to establish a recreation program, work with the schools, and keep up with parks maintenance.

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

Pannier agreed that the sports complex created a need to resurrect the advisory body. He had wanted members in place by spring.

“The sports complex is valuable, and we want to utilize it the best we can,”

Pannier said. “Jim is busy, and he could really use our help.”

City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said he also believes the new board will take on an important role for maximizing the potential of the parks system.

“They will engage in long-term planning and provide guidance to the council for programming,” Dykhuizen said.

“It broadens the scope of public participation with the parks and formalizes that role.”

Two pavilions were recently donated to the city, and Dykhuizen cited them as the type of project that would be perfect for the advisory board to work on.

The members of the board will be appointed by the mayor, and must be approved by the council for a term not to exceed 3 years. Nonvoting members can also be appointed to the board. City officials would like to see some high school or college students serve in that capacity.

MORRISON – The council unanimously approved an ordinance Tuesday to establish a five-person parks and recreation advisory board to help the city with parks system planning.

The city has two fulltime employees who manage and maintain five parks, including its sports complex. Seasonal part-timers fill in at the parks’ busiest times.

Jim DuBois, director of the sports complex, had put in a request with Mayor Everett Pannier to bring back the body that had existed several years ago.

In 2012, former City Administrator Jim Wise proposed the creation of a Department of Parks and Recreation to oversee the parks, sports complex and the recreation program, but nothing came of it.

THE READER’S VOICE

Smiddy makes donations to local agencies CAROL FITZGERALD Rock Falls

At this time of year, negative political ads surround us, and sorting out the facts can be challenging. I would like to help clarify the facts in a recent claim about 71st District state Rep. Mike Smiddy.

Ads claim that Smiddy voted to increase legislators’ pay, then kept that pay increase. To my certain knowledge, that claim is untrue.

Smiddy voted against the bill that would increase legislators’ pay.

When it eventually passed anyway, he didn’t keep it: he decided to use the pay increase to benefit his district.

Therefore, each month,

he’s contributed his pay increase to a different non-profit organization.

He kindly wrote the first check to the YWCA of the Sauk Valley. So not only did he not keep the money, but he used it to prevent sexual abuse and bullying, to help victims of domestic violence, to support women’s career services, and to empower girls in after-school programs.

In the second month, he supported much-

needed child care services in Tampico – again, benefiting people in his district.

Some of the political ads are confusing, and it’s hard to sort out the truth. Not this issue.

Smiddy is using the pay increase that he voted against to support services that benefit local people.

Note to readers: Carol Fitzgerald is the executive director of the YWCA of the Sauk Valley.

better informed about possible solutions to the problems that plague the state.

The book is endorsed by two prominent retired Illinois political leaders: former Democratic U.S. Sen. Adlai Stevenson III and former Republican Gov. Jim Edgar.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Mitch Daniels has been a transformational leader for Indiana.

For his 8 years as governor, he charted a much different course for the Hoosier State than the one taken by Illinois.

On Monday, I sat down with the former governor, who now leads Purdue University, and asked him to discuss his time at Indiana’s helm.

“I told my people early on in my administration that I wanted to build the best sandbox in America. I wanted to create an environment that encouraged the hiring of people and more investment in Indiana,” he said.

“I asked them to consider what they can do better, faster – or stop doing – to ensure that the next job comes here and not Illinois or some other state.”

Daniels said focusing on improving the overall business climate has been the key to Indiana’s success.

JUST CONSIDER: Illinois remains down 157,000 jobs since the recession began in January 2008. But Indiana has regained all the jobs lost during the recession and created an additional 6,200 jobs. And that’s despite Indiana’s job losses from the recession being more severe than Illinois’.

Since the bottom of the recession, Illinois has created 253,000 net new jobs while Indiana has created 235,700. And Indiana has a population only half that of Illinois.

Since January 2009, when Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn took office and Daniels entered his second term, Illinois has created 33,800 net new jobs and Indiana 139,400.

Daniels indicated Illinois and other states have become overly reliant on offering special incentives to select businesses.

Folks on the left call this practice “corporate welfare,” and on the right they call it “crony capitalism.”

“When you give the checkbook of incentives to a politician, his incentive is to hand out the dough and cut the ribbon.

If the jobs don’t show, it’s somebody else’s problem,” he said.

“We don’t behave that way in Indiana, and I wish fewer politicians across the country – Republicans and Democrats – would, as well.”

Daniels added that he had a firm policy against offering tax incentives to companies threatening to leave Indiana unless they received a taxpayer subsidy. And while the

“The Framers did not say that a different version of the First Amendment would apply in different circumstances; they simply and elegantly told Congress to ‘make no law’ concerning the freedom of speech or the press.”

Hoosier State does give some incentive packages to companies considering moving there, Daniels said his administration was selective and frugal when making such offers.

Illinois, on the other hand, has given incentive packages to a variety of large corporations in hopes of keeping jobs from leaving the Land of Lincoln.

Daniels also focused on reducing taxes for businesses and individuals.

The income tax in Illinois is currently 5 percent, while Indiana’s is 3.4 percent and scheduled to drop to 3.23 percent in 2017.

Illinois’ Mitch income tax Daniels is set to drop Former to 3.75 perIndiana cent in 2015 governor credits and 3.25 in improved 2025, but business that could climate for his state’s c h a n g e economic during the upsurge. lame-duck session.

Daniels pushed for property tax caps during his time in office.

“We now have one of the lowest property tax rates in the country. I can never resist pointing out that depending on where you live, Indianans pay one-third to one-fifth the average rate in Illinois.”

INDIANA ALSO IS eliminating its inheritance tax.

“We want to keep that money in Indiana.” Daniels said. “Too often, we see retirees moving to other states because they don’t want to see that money taxed.”

When those people move, it hurts the economy because their wealth is being invested elsewhere, he said.

“We came to hope Hoosiers would come to like being national leaders in business climate, fiscal integrity, in education change, and in infrastructure building. Our hopes are they will continue to expect that from their leaders.”

As Illinois continues to lose jobs to Indiana, Daniels was uncharacteristically silent on what Illinoisans should do.

“I never offer advice to those living in other states on what they should do.

Those are things they have to work out,” he said.

Letters citing Oct. 11 Officials exploring closing dated Oct. 15 jet facility funding ROCKFORD

CLOSE

CONTINUED FROM A1

Owner Dr. Neal Jones bought Sauk Valley Orthodontics from Dr. Joseph Crisham in 2009.

Jones has a license to practice in Illinois that is valid through Sept. 15, 2015, according to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, but he lives in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

He operates Desert Vista Orthodontics with three locations in the Sierra Vista area.

Patients had been seeing Dr. Azita Abbasi, who was working part-time on contract for Jones.

She had split her time between Dixon, Sterling, and offices in the Chicago area.

While it is customary practice for health professionals to notify clients several months in advance when closing or leaving a practice, the staff said they didn’t even receive that courtesy.

“Someone in our office got a text from Dr. Jones last Thursday about it,” employee Tarryn Anders said. “We got an email from him on Friday with a letter he wanted us to send to clients.”

The client list from both offices is being compiled, and the letters, dated Oct. 15, are being sent out to inform patients of the Oct. 11 closing. It also provides the names of five orthodontists to whom patients can transfer their records. Patients who use Medicaid are asked to call a toll-free number for information about their options.

The closest office is that of Dr. Ted Moss of Sterling. Staff there said they were just starting to find out about the Sauk Valley Orthodontics closings on Monday.

“The phone wouldn’t quit ringing on Monday,” said Edna Rakowski, the administrative assistant for Moss Orthodontics at 814 Freeport Road.

“We were hearing about the closings from their

Area orthodontists

The following orthodontists were listed as transfer options in a letter to patients from Sauk Valley Orthodontics: • Dr. Michael Callen, Clinton, Iowa – 563-243-6622 • Dr. Ted Moss, Sterling – 815-284-3046 • Dr. George Walker, Freeport – 815-235-7476 • Dr. Paul Castelein, Princeton – 815-875-6409 • Dr. Todd Curtis, DeKalb – 815-895-7660 Medicaid patients are asked to call 1-888-286-2447 for more information.

The Sauk Valley Orthodontics office can be reached at 815-564-2294. patients, but we didn’t really know what was going on.”

Rakowski said they would not start taking appointments until they had some time to plan for the sudden onslaught on new client requests.

“Dr. Moss and I are trying to get a day open to talk about it all,” Rakowski said. “We’ll just have to see where they are in their treatments and take it from there.”

Employees will be at the Dixon office from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays through Dec. 1 to answer questions and help patients with getting records to a new orthodontist. One exception is Friday, when employees will be at the Sterling office. The Sauk Valley Orthodontics office can be reached at 815-5642294.

Staff said they didn’t yet know what would happen with families who had paid in advance of services.

“The people in the office have no way of getting any refunds to people,” Anders said. “People are talking about getting lawyers and contacting investigators.”

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation had not received complaints about the office closures.

Spokesperson Susan Hofer said complaints can be filed on the agency’s website, www.idfpr. com. Near the top of the homepage is a Consumer Quick Links drop-down menu that includes complaint filing.

Hofer said her agency deals with licensing, not recovering money for patients.

“We don’t have the power to get money back, but we can make it very uncomfortable with licensing if there is any wrongdoing,” Hofer said.

“Licensing information is readily shared with other states.”

Hofer said if the courts become involved regarding the prepaid services, it would originate in the offices of the state’s attorney or Illinois attorney general.

Leaf is holding out hope that there will be some kind of reimbursement for families that paid in advance.

“I signed a contract, and he didn’t keep up his end with treatment,” Leaf said. “I sure don’t want to have to pay a different orthodontist to finish the procedure.”

Anders said she can always find another job, but she and the other employees, including Dr. Abbasi, feel badly about their patients.

“We’re still here because of the people,” Anders said. “This is a small town, and we’ve built relationships with them.

We want to do whatever we can to make it easier for them.”

Staff said Abbasi had gone to great lengths to try to stop the closures, out of concern for her patients. They said she was unable to do so because of financial roadblocks and contractual obligations.

Attempts to contact Abbasi and Jones were unsuccessful.

p.m. Saturday at First Christian Church, 506 Fifth Ave. The meal will include a vegetable, salad, beverage, and pie or cake. Cost is $6.50 for adults, $3.50

for ages 6 to 12, and free for 5 and younger.

The church is accessible to wheelchairs. Carry-outs are available at 815-626-2271.

ROCKFORD (AP) – A Thursday groundbreaking ceremony is planned for a $43 million jet repair facility at Rockford International Airport, even as officials continue sorting out how to pay for the project.

The state of Illinois has committed $15 million for construction, and airport officials are looking for $10 million in federal funds. Officials say the project will create at least 500 jobs. They also hope the new maintenance, repair and overhaul

facility will attract more flight-related business, development and jobs in the area.

Surveyors have already checked out the 13-acre site on which the two jet hangars will be built.

Airport Director Mike Dunn told the Rockford Register Star he expects airport commissioners to consider an agreement finalizing financial plans within the next 30 days. The airport, Rockford and Winnebago County will share the rest of the project cost if it’s approved by officials

within all three entities.

“I’m not worried,” Dunn said. “The city and the county have been very positive to work with. We’re working on a draft agreement. We’ll have it done soon.”

The project was announced in August and secured several days later through a 10-year lease agreement for the facility. AAR Corp. agreed to pay the airport $400,000 a year in rent.

Airport officials are aiming to complete the facility by the end of next year, Dunn said.

Thoughts of woman’s ex-husband still linger Dear Abby, I have a serious problem consuming my life. I know people say you never really get over your first love, but I don’t know why after 6 years I still think about my ex on a daily basis.

Abby, I am happily married. My husband is the perfect man for me – understanding, sweet and patient. My ex, “Chad,” cheated on me with other women and recently married the one who effectively ended our relationship.

I thought I had moved on, but I can’t seem to stop thinking about him. My ex and I had a strong chemistry – not just a physical one – that my husband and I don’t. Somehow I wonder if, while my husband is the man of my dreams, Chad

dearABBY

Dear Abby, While I was growing up, my parents taught me and my siblings to always keep a year’s salary (pre-taxes) in a savings account that one never touches.

The problem is my bride and I feel that we’re ready to buy a home, although we don’t have enough in our joint savings to make a down payment. She feels I should use my savings to make the down payment.

I don’t feel right about it because this savings technique has saved me twice in my life. Once when I was a child and my parents lost their jobs, and again when I lost my job in the recession.

Am I selfish for wanting to keep my savings off limits?

– Mr. Savings

Dear Mr. Savings: I agree with your fiscally conservative philosophy.

You learned from experience how important an emergency fund can be.

Because buying a home is not an emergency, wait until you and your wife have saved enough for the down payment. Also, because the money in that savings account was yours before marriage, it may not be a joint asset, and it could save you a third time if you don’t spend it.

If they need to speak privately, so be it – she can wait until I’m out of the room or request to speak to him elsewhere. But I find it impolite of her to send him texts. They are nothing confidential in nature, just general conversation.

Dear Bystander, What your stepdaughter is doing is as rude as when two people whisper to each other in front of a third person. My thought is that your husband, out of consideration for your feelings, should either tell her – or text her – to cut it out.

MUSIC REVIEW | ‘ROSE AVE.’

You+Me covers octaves, audiences Duo features P!nk and Dallas Green

BY LUCAS PAULEY lpauley@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5576

T

he growing folkbased movement in pop music added another impressive album to its ranks Tuesday with “rose ave.,”

by You+Me. The duo features two of the more talented singersongwriters in the business, Dallas Green and Alecia Moore.

I swear you’ve heard of at the least one of them.

Moore has this nickname – you might know her as P!nk.

Green releases his music under the name City and Colour. He also was the vocalist and guitarist for the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire.

The first release by the

longtime friends lets them – Moore especially – do something outside their previous work. And when it’s good, it’s so good.

The album, consisting of nine originals and a spot-on cover of Sade’s “Ordinary Love,” begins with the haunting track “Capsized.”

Do you miss The Civil Wars? Add a bit of grit and a heavier punch, and you’ve got You+Me. The electric guitar leads float behind impressive vocals from Green and Moore on the album’s first track.

With a duo that prominently features acoustic guitars, stripped-down arrangements and a male and female vocalist, a comparison to The Civil Wars is natural.

But, what sets You+Me apart is the wide vocal ranges of both singers.

AP

Folk music duo You+Me, consisting of Alecia Moore, known as P!nk, and Dallas Green, pose for a portrait Friday during an interview at The Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, California. Their debut album, “rose ave.,” was released Tuesday.

Moore can belt out the high notes and lay down lower tones with the best of them. She’s survived in the business for nearly 15 years for a reason.

Green’s voice is one you might be less familiar

PRINCETON | CONCERT

with, if at all. His vocals are at their best at the top of his range.

This all makes for some unique moments when Moore’s vocals are actually providing the smooth, low harmony, as

Green’s high notes float above the acoustic guitar.

As the album goes on, it becomes somewhat puzzling that it took this long for these two to create music together.

Take the song “You+Me” for example. Neither vocalist has to do anything too spectacular, but together, they are so on point.

Throughout the entire album, there aren’t many moments when both aren’t singing at the same time.

“Second Guess” begins with a simple call-andresponse verse featuring Green and Moore.

It’s one of the strongest tracks on the album, with both exploring each end of their vocal ranges.

Green hits a vocal run on this song that makes you question whether it was originally intended for Moore.

The track is followed by one of the duo’s singles, “Break The Cycle.” It’s becoming apparent at this point in the album that Moore’s voice is as strong as its ever been.

The track also stands out with a nice string arrangement accompanying the acoustic guitar.

One of the few complaints of this album is that some songs, while good, are somewhat forgettable, like “Love Gone Wrong” and “Unbeliever.” The group reportedly wrote the album in the span of a week. Possibly, with some more time, the group could have refined some of the less-memorable tunes, or written others altogether.

But, hopefully, this is a strong album to build upon, and not a one-time thing. For your sake and mine, I hope so.

Give up one to assure three

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Elliott Erwitt, an American photographer who was born in Paris, said, “It’s almost embarrassing, but I do have one trick for taking portraits on commission. I carry one of these little bicycle horns in my pocket, and once in a while, when someone is sour-faced or stiff, I blow my horn. It sort of shatters the barriers. It’s silly, but it works.”

A successful bridge player has trick-one tricks: Stop and think, count winners and losers, and choose a plan of campaign. They are not silly and they work.

Try them on this deal.

South is in three no-trump and West leads the spade queen. What should declarer do?

Especially if you open two

no-trump with only 20 or 21 points, that South hand is worth a two-club opening because it has so many aces and kings. (If you count two points for an ace and one

for a king, an average twono-trump opening has seven points. This one has nine.)

South has seven top tricks: two spades, two hearts, one diamond and two clubs.

So, if declarer can get three diamond tricks, the contract will be home. But he has to realize that the finesse is a mirage. Suppose South takes the first trick with dummy’s spade ace, runs the diamond queen, and the finesse wins.

South gets only two tricks from the suit and will also need clubs to break 3-2.

Instead, declarer should be willing to sacrifice one diamond trick to get three in return. He should win the first trick with his spade king, cash his diamond ace, and play another diamond. Even if he wins that second diamond trick, he plays the suit again and must succeed.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS | WEEK 8 ROCK FALLS AT DIXON

ROCHELLE AT STERLING

Warriors throw weight around

Wolf hired as Rock Falls coach

O-line keying Sterling

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550

Rock Falls assistant varsity girls basketball coach Eric Wolf was approved by the Rock Falls Board of Education on Wednesday night to become the head coach beginning this season.

Rockets athletic director Rich Montgomery recommended Wolf at the monthly meeting, and he was approved by superintendent Ron McCord to take over the Rockets’ girls basketball varsity coaching position.

“You always try to consider the ideas from the previous head coach and take into account what they think,” Montgomery said.

“He has been involved with the program for 8 years, and I think it is a good hire and will work out well.”

Wolf has been with the Rockets’ girls basketball program for eight seasons.

He was the varsity assistant coach under Craig Mammosser for the past 6 years, and was the head coach at the freshman and sophomore levels, respectively, during his first 2 years at Rock Falls.

Mammosser stepped down 2 weeks ago after 18 years with the program, citing more responsibilities with his full-time job.

He felt bad about giving Montgomery such short notice to find a replacement by the time the season begins next month.

But with Wolf in line to succeed him, he felt better about the decision to leave, and gave Montgomery his highest praise for Wolf, feeling he was ready to take on those added responsibilities.

If Kyler Beck wasn’t always smiling, the Sterling senior would look intimidating.

Beck is a 6-foot-5, 270-pound right tackle on the Golden Warriors’ offensive line. He and his linemates make up a large wall of pass- and run-blocking machines that have powered the Sterling offense through the first 7 weeks of the season.

“This line is like a brotherhood,” Beck said. “We have to communicate with each other to be successful.

“You also have to be physical to play on the line, and that’s what we all bring to each game. We love to be involved in every play, and we love trying to make a difference.”

The average size of the bruising Sterling offensive line is 6-1, 236 pounds.

The same five – Cariel Beasley (6-2, 240), Isaac Kinnicut (6-2, 235), Tanner Jensen (5-9, 225), Jason Wolber (6-2, 210), and Beck – have started since Week 3, and the offense has flourished.

Rock Falls’ Jacob Mammosser eludes a Byron tackler during their Week 4 game at Hinders Field. The Rockets are looking for their first win on the road since Week 9 of the 2012 season when they visit Dixon on Friday night.

Focus on Friday Dukes not looking past Rockets

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

The current Dixon Dukes players have been dreaming of the playoffs since watching the 2006 squad advance to the state quarterfinals as elementary school students.

A win on Senior Night against a Rock River rival would guarantee them a spot in Week 10.

But just because the 5-2 Dukes are hosting the 0-7 Rock Falls Rockets, don’t for a second think that Dixon’s players are thinking ahead.

“We’re not going to think this is just a game we can get through and just move on to the next week and think about Byron – and beyond – already,” Dixon senior quarterback JD Gieson said. “Their record doesn’t show everything. They have a lot of good athletes, and we respect them. We’re really thinking about them, focusing hard, because they’re nobody to look over or look past.”

The Dukes come into their final

Dixon led the nip-andtuck game throughout, and coach Dave Smith was impressed with his team’s poise in such tight quarters.

Dixon has outscored its opponents 174-147 this year, with a 129-36 advantage in its four home games, all wins. The Dukes have allowed 15 points or fewer in all four of those contests, and Gieson credits fast starts and strong finishes for those victories.

“You’ve got to start strong and set the tone, and you never want to let teams hang around,” Gieson said. “We can’t just expect good things to happen, we have to make them happen, so we’ve got to come out and hit hard and run fast and score early and take control.”

Even without a club in her hands last year, Freidag thinks her two trips around Red Tail Run as a spectator could be a bit of an advantage over other players who have never seen the course before.

Illinois to wear alternate uniforms Illinois will honor the legendary Red Grange by wearing “Gray Ghost” alternate uniforms for the homecoming game Oct. 25 against Minnesota.

Instead of orange, blue and white, the Nike uniforms will be gray with helmets that have “special chrome decals that shift in and out of the white paint job,” according to the school.

The Illini are celebrating the 90th anniversary of Grange’s performance against Michigan on Oct. 18, 1924, when he scored six touchdowns, four of which came in the first 12 minutes of the game.

Notre Dame safety tears labrum Irish safety Austin Collinsworth has a partially torn labrum, coach Brian Kelly said. Kelly said the tear was “slight” and will not require surgery.

Collinsworth, who suffered the injury Saturday against North Carolina, could be shelved up to 4-to-6 weeks, but his timetable for return still was unclear, Kelly said.

SEC commissioner will resign in spring Southeastern Conference commissioner Mike Slive has announced his retirement, effective July 15.

Slive, who has served in the role for 13 years, also said he is beginning to receive treatment for a recurrence of prostate cancer. He was previously treated for the issue in the late 1990s.

Following his retirement, Slive will serve in the role of consultant to the conference for a period of 4 years.

Bowl on horizon

Hawkeyes show resilience during 5-1 start to season

BY LUKE MEREDITH AP Sports Writer

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa is halfway through a season in which it has yet to play up to its potential.

And yet the Hawkeyes are 5-1, 2-0 in the Big Ten, and tied atop the West division.

It seems like resilience is one of Iowa’s best traits in 2014.

The Hawkeyes have dealt with a ton of issues on offense, and they beat Indiana at home last weekend despite allowing a number of big plays defensively.

But Iowa heads to Maryland (4-2, 1-1) on Saturday with a shot at bowl eligibility and a week of rest ahead of a grueling stretch to end the regular season.

“It’s what we do moving forward,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “We haven’t always played as well as we need to, and the big thing is how much improvement can we make here in the next 7 weeks.”

Behind big plays like Jonathan Parker’s 60-yard touchdown run last week against Indiana, the Iowa Hawkeyes have shown a resilience that has led them to the top of the Big Ten West standings.

For weeks, Iowa’s biggest question has been at quarterback.

Starter Jake Rudock

appears to have answered it.

Rudock went 14-of-18 passing for 179 yards in

at Maryland Northwestern at Minnesota at Illinois Wisconsin Nebraska

the first half and threw a pair of TD passes as the Hawkeyes offense matched its best effort of the season, 31 points, in just two quarters against the Hoosiers.

Backup C.J. Beathard played extensively in the second half as part of Iowa’s plan to rotate both quarterbacks.

But the Hawkeyes went with a more conservative game plan behind Beathard, both because they held a big lead and because Indiana was forced to play untested freshman Chris Covington after starting quarterback Nate Sudfeld separated his shoulder in the second quarter. He is now out for the year.

Rockets put lots of trust in Wolf CHANGING

CONTINUED FROM B1

“There is no question in my mind that he is the right person for the job,” Mammosser said. “He’s ready for it. I’ve known that for the last 2 or 3 years. He does a lot of extra things, and the little things, that really make a program.”

Mammosser first reached out to Wolf 8 years ago and asked if he would be interested in coaching.

At first, Wolf wasn’t sure if he was ready for a coaching position, especially in girls basketball, but Mammosser prodded him to try it.

Mammosser knew Wolf when Wolf was a kid, and always enjoyed his enthusiasm and hard-nosed approach to the game. He watched as Wolf blossomed into a solid player, “who always had the right approach.”

So when there was an opening at the freshman level, Wolf was the

first person he thought of.

Shortly after, Wolf eventually agreed to accept the position, and their work relationship began.

“At first he was a little standoffish,” Mammosser recalled of his first attempt to hire Wolf. “He was a very good basketball player, but he didn’t know if he could handle coaching. He was a little worried about the different game of girls basketball. But the more and more he coached, the more he loved it.”

Since Wolf joined the varsity staff 6 years ago, he slowly started to add his own thoughts and became more involved in the gameplanning and teaching aspect. Specifically over the past 3 years, Mammosser watched him develop his own coaching personality that has resonated with the players over the years.

He became comfortable enough in the program to take his own ideas to Mammosser, and the two formed a trust.

“He has been more boisterous recently, and taken his coaching to the next level,” Mammosser said. “It’s gotten to the point where he had his own ideas, and a lot of what we did came from those ideas.

“That’s how much I trusted him. Those ideas became our ideas, and that’s the main goal of having a successful program, to work as one.”

When the season begins in November, Wolf will get his first opportunity to run the varsity program after he quickly worked his way through the ranks. But he hasn’t done it completely alone, as the two coaches have talked three times since Mammosser stepped down, still bouncing ideas off the other.

“I told him, ‘You’re going to be nervous and excited, but that’s a good thing,’” Mammosser said.

“And if you’re excited to coach, and have a good foundation like he does, that’s all you need.”

“Kori finished 52nd, and I hope to get better than that and shoot a lower score than her,” Freidag said with a sly smile. “It should be fun.”

Separated by 2 years, the Freidag sisters have a typical sibling rivalry: wanting to best each other, but defending each other against outsiders. While it’s not surprising Karissa wants to top her sister, the bragging rights that come with it are all in good fun.

“It’s a nice competitive little thing that we have,” Freidag said, “burt we’re always cheering on each other.

It’s a nice bond that we have, and this is something that will make it even stronger.”

Freidag knows she’ll have some butterflies before Friday’s first round, and expects nervous moments during the 2-day tournament.

She said the key will be controlling her emotions when the going

“My attitude is a big part of it,” she said.

“Sometimes, I can get very upset, and that’s not a good thing at such a big tournament. I just have to be calm through the whole thing, and hopefully that will get me through it.”

Mental focus is rarely

an issue for Freidag, and she’s not worried about it this weekend, either.

But that doesn’t mean the junior isn’t already looking ahead a little bit … and it’s something that she sees as motivation, not a distraction, for her first state tournament.

“It’ll cross my mind when I’m down there that I’ve got another

chance to come back next year,” Freidag admitted. “It’d be pretty cool going there twice, and I think that will help push me to play well this weekend.”

Freidag will be joined by a trio of local sophomores in Decatur.

Morrison’s Jaeden Workman, Dixon’s Olivia Pultorak, and Oregon’s Ali Scheidecker also qualified from the Eastland Sectional.

Pultorak and Scheidecker tied for 10th with Princeton’s Arraia Hicks, but all three earned state berths when a playoff was deemed unfeasible due to unplayable conditions.

Quarterback Sterling Thornton is the area’s third-leading rusher at 837 yards, and averages 5.36 yards per carry with 16 touchdowns.

Rafael Escalante has six TDs and 331 yards on the ground, and averages 5.9 yards per carry, while Brandon Dennis averages 3 yards per touch with 210 yards and a touchdown.

Jensen, the senior center, is the leader and calls out blitz packages, double teams, and makes the checks at the line. Kinnicut, who lines up to the left of Jensen at left guard, knows that communicating with his linemates is the key to be a successful unit for the run-heavy offense.

“We love to see those guys score touchdowns,” Jensen said of his backfield teammates. “We always say that when they score, it’s our touchdown, too.”

The Golden Warriors’ offensive line has played a large role in Sterling being able to move the ball consistently, even against tough defenses.

The Leafs had only allowed 22 points heading into the game through the first 6 weeks of the season, but the o-line battered Geneseo’s defensive front and made room for Thornton to take over. He gained 130 yards against one of the best defenses in Class 5A. “Our offensive line does a good job of creating those holes,” Thornton said after the game.

“They are a tough group, and they come out to play every week.”

The Golden Warriors (5-2, 2-1 NIB-12 West) moved into the AP rankings in Class 5A this week and sit at No. 10 despite that loss to topranked Geneseo.

“The red zone is a place where we have to be our best,” Beck said. “Coach [Dave] Campbell always says that we have to be tough and we can’t accept settling for field goals.”

Sterling offensive line coach Dave Campbell coaches the players once they reach the sophomore level, and does hands-on drills with the players, grooming them at an early age to be successful once they reach the varsity level.

On Wednesday, Campbell – with his thick outdoorsman beard flowing in the wind – was running drills with his offensive line. Campbell played quarterback and moved around in the pocket as the linemen practiced blocking for a mobile quarterback like Thornton.

“This is a very coachable group,” Campbell said. “They respond well to adjustments and any-

from pain. Our specialists treat a

thing we ask them to do out there. They take a lot of pride in what they do.”

“Each week we have an important job, and we all want to do a real good job doing it,” Kinnicut said. “We don’t get much attention, but we feel that we have one of the more important jobs on the team.”

The line will have another tough task this week against a desperate Rochelle team when the Hubs come to Roscoe Eades Stadium on Friday night. Sterling will likely need another dominant offensive performance as the Hubs (3-4, 1-2) come in looking to win their final two games of the season to put their name in the playoff conversation. One loss would end their playoff hopes.

“This game is huge,” Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer said. “This is the biggest game of the year.

We know they’re going to come in here and do anything and everything to try and get a win.

“It’s always dangerous when you’re playing a team that’s playing for their postseason lives.”

ROUNDUP

Hawks fall at regional

By SVM Sports Staff

The third-seeded Oregon boys soccer team lost its Class 1A Stillman Valley Regional semifinal match 3-2 to secondseeded Stillman Valley on Wednesday.

The score was tied 2-2 at the end of regulation, and the match had to be decided by penalty kicks after two scoreless overtime sessions. The Hawks lost the PKs in the ensuing shootout, 9-8, to end their season.

Girls swimming Sterling edges Jefferson, Newman at Duis:

Sterling won two of three relays and beat visiting Jefferson and Newman at the Duis Center.

The Golden Warriors finished with 143 points, Jefferson was second with 97, and Newman was third with 54.

Sterling’s Kerry Mullen won the 50-yard freestyle in 28.98 seconds, and won the 100 (59.04) and anchored both of the winning relays (200, 400).

Newman diver Abigayle Ammon finished with a six-dive score of 213.95 to edge Sterling’s Kallie Zuidema, who scored 200.8.

Volleyball Amboy def. LaMoille 25-16, 25-20: Sydney

Ball control key for both Dukes, Rockets FOCUS

CONTINUED FROM B1

Rock Falls has been looking for that same kind of start all season, with little success, especially on the road.

The Rockets have been outscored 180-36 away from Hinders Field, and have been shut out twice in four games.

Last week, six firsthalf interceptions put the Rockets behind the 8-ball in a home loss to Mendota, and interim coach Jay Mammosser sees a lot of similarities between Dixon’s defense and that of the Trojans.

“Dixon’s very aggressive, like Mendota was, and they’ll be coming after us,” Mammosser said. “We need to do a better job of protecting the quarterback and getting rid of the ball quicker, and we have to be able to run the ball better than we did last week.”

Senior Jacob Mammosser (28-for-59 passing, 328 yards, 2 TDs, 4 INTs) replaced junior Noah Junis (96-for-210, 1,302 yards, 6 TDs, 17 INTs) at quarterback right before halftime last week, and played the entire second half.

Coach Mammosser isn’t yet sure which QB will start against Dixon, but thinks “they’ll probably both see some time.”

Connor Cain is their favorite target, with 58 catches for 840 yards and six TDs; Tanner Dean (23 catches, 239 yards) and Mammosser (23 catches, 190 yards) also have touchdown catches. Braeden Westfall leads the ground game with 95 carries for 365 yards and two

touchdowns.

Smith and the Dukes are preparing for both signal callers, with the main difference being Jacob Mammosser’s ability to scramble versus Junis’ comfort in the pocket.

“It’s a game of unknowns with them, because they can do so many different things,” Smith said. “I really think this is going to be a tough game, and we can’t let trickery or deception get us out of playing our defense.”

Coach Mammosser sees much of the same in Dixon’s offense. Both teams run the spread, and try and balance the run and pass. Gieson has thrown for 842 yards, 11 touchdowns and six interceptions on 63-for-124 passing, and run 74 times for 357 yards and four more scores. Eight different receivers have caught passes, led by Kyle LeBlanc (23 catches, 369 yards, 5 TDs) and Matt Coffey (22 catches, 356 yards, 5 TDs), and Cody Mighell (73 rushes, 454 yards, 4 TDs) and Quinton Douglas (45 rushes, 310 yards, 4 TDs) have had success on the ground.

Like Smith, Mammosser wants his defense to stick to its keys, defend what it sees, and not be drawn in by any window dressing.

“They vary things up quite a bit, and they’ve got some nice weapons on the outside, for sure,” Mammosser said.

“We have to make tackles, do the little things to make plays, and get them off the field.”

That’s the biggest key, according to both coaches: get the opposing offense off the field,

BELOW: Rock Falls’ Tanner Dean gets wrapped up by a Byron defender during their Week 4 game at Hinders Field. then control the ball, sustain drives, and keep the other offense on the sideline as long as possible.

“We have to keep the ball in our hands more,” Mammosser said, “and keep them off the field when we get stops.”

“We’ve got to execute, keep our offense on the field longer than theirs,” Smith said. “They’re a good-looking team – I don’t care about their record – with a lot of guys who can make big plays, and we have to defend well and block well and play well. I really think this is going to be a tough, hardfought game.”

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – James Shields led thousands of fans in a celebratory chant. Lorenzo Cain pranced along the warning track, cradling his newborn son. Ned Yost finally allowed himself to smile.

After nearly three decades spent as one of the game’s biggest laughingstocks, the Kansas City Royals are once again baseball royalty. They are headed to their first World Series since 1985, finishing a four-game sweep in the AL Championship Series with a 2-1 victory Wednesday over the Baltimore Orioles.

In a perfect postseason, the Royals are intent to relish every moment.

“It’s hard to explain,” said Cain, whose clutch hits and dramatic catches earned him the series MVP award. “We’re clicking at the right moment right now.”

There’s no doubt about that.

Now, the Royals will carry an 11-game playoff win streak into the World Series, one shy of the major league record.

That includes their first eight this season, something that had never been done in postseason history. Kansas City beat Oakland in a 12-inning wild-card thriller to start things off, then swept the Los Angeles Angels in the Divisional Series.

Kansas City will open its first World Series since 1985 on Tuesday against the winner of the NLCS between the Giants and Cardinals. San Francisco

AP

The Royals’ Jarrod Dyson puts the championship trophy on home plate after the Royals defeated the Orioles 2-1 to win the American League Championship Series on Wednesday in Kansas City. The Royals swept the 4-game series.

Did you know?

• The Royals’ last World Series appearance was in 1985, when they beat the Cardinals in seven games. leads that series 3-1.

Coincidentally, it was the Cardinals who the Royals beat for their only World Series title.

“It’s been an amazing run,” Royals outfielder Alex Gordon said. “It’s nothing better than when you win. Today, same old story: good pitching, good defense, and scratch out a win.”

Same old story for the Orioles, too: Solid pitching, good defense – and

just not enough offense.

They managed seven hits over the last two games against Kansas City, resulting in the first sweep for the franchise in 21 postseason series.

“You saw how close the games were,” Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. “It’s more a testament to what they did.

They were playing great defensively.”

After holding the Orioles to three hits in Game 3, Jason Vargas and the Royals bullpen held them to four hits Wednesday night. Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis got the game to Greg Holland, who matched Dennis Eckersley’s record with his fourth save of the

best-of-seven series.

Holland got J.J. Hardy to ground out to third base for the final out, and the Royals spilled onto the infield in a wild celebration.

Fireworks shot over the crown-shaped scoreboard in center field, and a blue-clad sellout crowd that included Royals greats George Brett and Brett Saberhagen let out a roar while cars on nearby Interstate 70 honked their horns.

“That’s what you dream of as a kid,” Holland said.

“Punch your ticket to the World Series, especially before your home crowd.

These fans have been waiting a long time. They deserve it.”

Cards have giant hill to climb St. Louis defensive letdowns lead to costly defeat

BY JANIE MCCAULEY AP Sports Writer

SAN FRANCISCO – Buster Posey drove in three runs, and the San Francisco Giants took advantage of some clunky defense by St. Louis first baseman Matt Adams, beating the Cardinals 6-4 on Wednesday night to move within one victory of the World Series.

Chasing their third title in 5 years, the Giants lead the best-of-seven NL Championship Series 3-1 after poor throws cost the Cardinals yet again.

starts for St. Louis, now facing the same daunting deficit the Giants overcame to beat the Cardinals in the 2012 NLCS. Kansas City awaits the winner after completing its ALCS sweep of Baltimore earlier in the day.

The wild-card Royals will host Game 1 of the World Series next Tuesday night.

San Francisco climbed out of an early three-run hole, and back-to-back bad throws by Adams in the sixth inning helped the Giants rally – one night after a wild toss by St. Louis reliever Randy Choate allowed the winning run to score.

CHICAGO – Jonas Hiller made 49 saves, and Mikael Backlund scored at 4:35 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 2-1 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night.

Dennis Wideman also scored for the Flames, who were coming off a 3-2 win at Nashville on Tuesday.

Andrew Shaw scored in the third period, and Crawford had 16 saves in Chicago’s first loss in three games.

The overtime began with a nice stop by Crawford on Paul Byron’s breakaway opportunity just 40 seconds into the extra period.

Brad Richards had a chance to win the game for the Blackhawks, but his tip off a nice pass from Duncan Keith went wide.
