SERVING ROCK FALLS, STERLING AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1854

DIXON | LOW-INCOME HOUSING

$3M revamp set for March Dixon Square Apartments getting interior, exterior upgrades

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

DIXON – A low-income housing project in Dixon is getting a $3 million facelift come March.

Dixon Square Apartments, 1540 Freedom Walk, will be overhauling its 72 Section-

8-designated units. Tenants will be getting new kitchens and bathrooms, and substantial improvements are expected for the roof and siding, too, said Steve Rappin, president of VeriGreen Development.

Chicago-based VeriGreen

owns and manages about 30 low-income housing projects throughout Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Tennessee, and North Carolina, including Dixon Square Apartments.

Renovations are expected to take a year, and no residents will be displaced, Rappin said.

“It will be in-place rehab,” he said. “We will likely not move people out, and if we did need to, we would pay to move them to some sort of extended-stay hotel.”

For example, builders will work on the kitchen during the day, then put it back together

Dixon Square Apartments is one of 14 low-income housing projects statewide that has been awarded tax credits through the Illinois Housing Development Authority, which will fund the rehab project.

WHITESIDE COUNTY EBOLA PLANNING

Officials nail down game plan Outbreak unlikely, but preparations necessary, they say

BY JERMAINE PIGEE jpigee@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5525

STERLING – An indoor dog park is coming to downtown.

Donald Czyzyk, owner of Muddy Paws Pet Spa and Grooming in Rock Falls, has leased more than 15,000 square feet on two levels in the former Frantz Manufacturing building at 301 W. Third St. In addition to the pet grooming services now offered at his 800-squarefoot spot at 601 W. U.S. Route 30, Czyzyk will offer boarding and day care services, plus the indoor dog park.

“This was a dream of mine ever since I was a child,” said Czyzyk, 23, who is also the site administrator for Happy Tails Humane Society in Rock Falls.

“To do this is something that is amazing to me. This building will allow me to do something I’ve always wanted to do.”

If all goes well, Muddy Paws will open in the new location Dec. 1, Czyzyk said, and the Rock Falls location will be closed.

ROCK FALLS – Whiteside County officials spent Wednesday morning going over their plan of action, should anyone in the county become infected with Ebola.

Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi, speaking on behalf of the group seated in a circle at the Whiteside County Health Department, stressed that the chance that Ebola could even make it to the area is very, very slim.

That’s something that local and national health officials have been saying since the fear of infection gripped America after a Liberian man, Thomas Eric Duncan, tested positive for the disease at a Dallas hospital Sept. 28. He died Oct. 8.

“We will have certain hours where the public can come in and use the park,” Czyzyk said.

Czyzyk said the dog park will feature indoor activities for dogs, which will include off-leash playtime. There will also be mini swimming pools available for use, as well.

“The dog park will be a place for dogs to wear off energy,” Czyzyk said.

“Most people don’t have yards themselves, and dogs can come here to play all year round.”

Cat boarding facilities will be located on the main level of the building.

“There will be interactive rooms where cats can run loose, instead of them being in a cage and stressed out,” Czyzyk said. “With this facility, we are really concentrating on making stress levels go down as much as possible.”

Czyzyk said he is unsure if the facility will offer memberships.

“That is still in the works,” he said. “We are exploring the opportunity to charge memberships or a daily admission.”

IDOT HIRING

SUBLETTE

Court-appointed monitor ordered

Benefit Saturday for local veteran

Issue has dogged Quinn’s campaign CHICAGO (AP) – A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a court-appointed monitor to review hiring problems at Gov. Pat Quinn’s Department of Transportation, a setback for the Democrat running for re-election largely on how he navigated Illinois away from ethical problems.

The ruling – less than 2 weeks before the election – followed a motion filed in April by antipatronage campaigner Michael Shakman, who alleged that a long span of improper hiring based on clout and connections necessitated an outside monitor and further investigation at IDOT. Quinn administration attorneys had argued that neither was necessary because a state inspector general had investigated and the issues already were being addressed.

Magistrate Judge Sidney Schenkier disagreed, saying the inspector general’s work didn’t negate the “need for the court to take action.” But he didn’t grant Shakman’s

AP

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn speaks during a bill signing ceremony July 22 in Chicago. A federal judge on Wednesday ordered a court-appointed monitor to investigate hiring at Quinn’s Illinois Department of Transportation, saying the monitor would help with compliance of a decades-old ban on political hiring. request for a separate probe, explaining the court monitor could sufficiently review why issues occurred and do so transparently.

Quinn’s challenger in the Nov. 4 election, Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, immediately jumped on the ruling to say that Quinn “cannot be trusted to clean up state government.” Quinn’s campaign

rejected the criticism.

His government spokesman said IDOT officials would implement the ruling.

“We’ll ensure IDOT works closely with the court and continues to follow all rules,” said Grant Klinzman, a Quinn spokesman.

Questions over hiring have dogged Quinn’s reelection.

In seeking a second full

term, he’s reminded the public how he cleaned up government during an “ethical crisis” after two consecutive predecessors went to prison. Rauner has tried to undermine those claims, specifically noting the IDOT lawsuit.

The gubernatorial matchup is among the most competitive nationwide.

Quinn himself hasn’t been accused of wrongdoing, and the inspector general’s report found neither Quinn nor his staffers were aware of impropriety.

But Shakman – who successfully pressed for a 1972 court decree which bans patronage hiring and bears his name – said earlier attempts to examine IDOT hiring when Quinn took office in 2009 hadn’t been successful, despite assurances from the governor that problems would be fixed.

Shakman told reporters that the timing of the ruling, just before the election, “is not for [lack] of trying on our side. We hoped to do this back in 2009.”

He said, “There’s no question that political hiring, promotions and transfers did occur ...

The reason we should care is fairness.”

Shakman’s motion followed a 2013 Better Government Association report that Quinn and predecessor, now-imprisoned Rod Blagojevich, had hired “staff assistants” without adhering to rules that prohibit political considerations and without offering the jobs to the public. The inspector general’s report essentially confirmed the findings. It noted 255 staff assistants were hired, often with political or family connections, but worked other jobs that should’ve been open to any applicant. The number of those hirings rose after Quinn became governor.

After Quinn’s administration received a copy of the inspector general’s report, state officials instituted reforms, including eliminating staff assistant positions.

Still, Quinn has had to defend himself repeatedly. Former IDOT Secretary Ann Schneider, who resigned in June, said recommendations for hires came from Quinn’s office. Quinn has said he personally didn’t make any recommendations.

New response network in Chicago tested Adult, child admitted out of precaution CHICAGO (AP) – Two travelers from Liberia were taken to hospitals after arriving at O’Hare International Airport, including a child who will be tested for Ebola “out of an abundance of caution,” in what health officials are calling an important first trial for Chicago’s new Ebola response system.

Federal and health officials emphasized that there have been no confirmed Ebola cases in Chicago. The situation unfolded during rush hour Tuesday evening, becoming a reallife drill for dozens of recently trained health care workers taking part in the city’s newly activated Ebola network.

The city released a statement Wednesday saying the child was improving, had a normal temperature and showed

Family: Nurse Ebola-free COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Doctors no longer detect Ebola in a Texas nurse who flew to Ohio and back before she was diagnosed with the virus, her family said Wednesday.

Officials at Emory University Hospital and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention couldn’t detect Ebola in Amber Vinson as of Tuesday evening, her family said in a statement released through a media consultant. no symptoms of Ebola other than dehydration and one reported case of vomiting.

The adult was in good condition and removed from isolation at Rush after doctors decided the patient’s mild symptoms were attributable to typhoid fever.

There is no plan to test the adult patient for Ebola.

Five Ebola treatment centers to be named GAME PLAN

CONTINUED FROM A1

Beth Fiorini, Whiteside County public health administrator, organized the morning meeting, attended by officials from the Whiteside County Health Department, Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department, Rock Falls Police Department, Sterling Police Department, Twin City Joint Fire Command, CGH Medical Center, and Morrison Community Hospital.

As president of the Illinois Association for Public Health Administrators, Fiorini was appointed to the state’s Ebola task force. Gov. Pat Quinn announced Wednesday that the task force, established through executive order with the Illinois Department of Public Health, will help ensure the public health system across Illinois is prepared for Ebola, according to a news release from the governor’s office.

Backing up Wilhelmi’s comments, Fiorini noted that only two of the nurses who cared for Duncan have tested positive so far, and that none of his family members have tested positive, despite having been quarantined in the same apartment as his soiled sheets and clothing for days before being moved to a new location.

“When someone calls in to dispatch, to 9-1-1, there’s a set of questions that we’re going to ask,” Wilhelmi said. “I think a lot of people are confused, and might

think they have Ebola when it’s really only the flu.”

If, after talking to the dispatcher, it seems likely the person might be infected, an ambulance will be dispatched, with police and fire for backup, but only a paramedic will enter the home, dressed in a protective suit, Wilhelmi said.

The person will be taken to CGH Medical Center’s emergency department, but won’t be taken inside until doctors evaluate the patient and decide whether he or she must be placed in isolation, which CGH is fully prepared to do.

The patient wouldn’t stay there for long, though; he or she would be taken to one of the five hospitals in the state that are going to be designated Ebola treatment centers. Which five are expected to be announced this week.

“The precautions that all of us are using are no different than any other thing we’ve gone through,” Wilhelmi said.

“We’ve done this with anthrax, West Nile, and HIV in the past, so it’s really nothing new.”

Lee County officials held a similar meeting earlier this month to talk about their protocols.

According to a KSB Hospital release, patients and callers will also be asked a series of Ebolarelated questions before being admitted there.

Firefighters with the Twin City Joint Fire Command douse a car fire just after noon Wednesday in the Sterling KFC parking lot. No one was injured when the 1991 Chrysler New Yorker suddenly caught fire, with five passengers inside. The four adults and child exited as soon as they noticed the fire, said Deputy Chief Mike Dettman of the Twin City Joint Fire Command. When crews arrived on scene, the car was engulfed, and though crews “got a pretty good hit on it,” Dettman said, the car was a total loss. No official cause has been determined, but electrical issues are suspected.

Body in river ID’ed as barge worker QUINCY (AP) – The Adams County coroner has identified a body pulled from the Mississippi River as a barge worker who went missing 2 weeks ago.

Coroner Jim Keller says the body is 20-year-old Jacob Climer of Henderson, Tennessee. Climer went missing north of Canton, Missouri. Keller says the cause of death is drowning.

No foul play is suspected.

An autopsy was performed Tuesday in Bloomington.

HOUSING

Spot will cost you: Pet rents become apartment fad LOS ANGELES (AP) – Man’s best friend is taking a bite out of renters’ wallets.

Pet security deposits register in the hundreds of dollars and are getting steeper. Now, a monthly rental payment ranging from $10 to $50 is quickly becoming the norm, adding to the cost. Apartment managers nationwide say they require some safety net against pet damage, while others won’t allow animals at all.

The rents and deposits pay for dog-poop pickeruppers, cleaning services and more, but some

managers say they charge because they can. Many residents decry the move, arguing they are being bilked to keep their cats and canines.

“One out of 50 people will say, ‘I can’t believe you charge pet rent,’ but most accept it,” said Stacy Leighty, who manages more than 400 properties in Salem, Oregon, and added the monthly fee after her financial adviser said it would boost revenue and is becoming more widespread.

With millions of people living in apartments, loads of pet owners are

facing extra costs. That’s something Fred Lopez, of the small Los Angeles suburb of Hawaiian Gardens, isn’t happy about.

“They are exploiting the fact that more and more people have pets,” he said.

“First, they ask for a deposit, then rent. How much more are they going to try and squeeze out of us?”

Lopez, his girlfriend and their Pomeranian recently moved from an apartment where the manager charged $50 a month in pet rent. Lopez, 38, called the cost “ludicrous and another way to gouge people for money.”

Two years ago, pet rents were few and far between, said Tammy Kotula, a spokeswoman for Apartments.com, the Chicago-based online listing subscription service that tracks owners and renters.

This year, 78 percent of renters who worked with the company and voluntarily filled out questionnaires said they paid a pet deposit, Kotula said.

Of those, 29 percent also paid monthly pet rent.

That’s up from 63 percent who paid pet deposits last year – 20 percent of whom also reported paying rent for their animal.

Apt lesson on serving others What we think Friday’s community service project at St. Mary’s School will teach students a valuable lesson that should pay future dividends.

V

olunteering is the rent that people pay to live in a community, so the saying goes.

Teaching young people how to volunteer for community service projects is the goal of St. Mary’s School in Sterling.

On Friday, students of St. Mary’s will be involved in the school’s second annual “Loving Hearts, Helping Hands” Serve-a-thon.

Everyone, from preschoolers to eighth-graders, will play a role.

Some students will make art projects for nursing home residents and prepare breakfast at a church.

Others will clean up cemeteries and work at the PADS homeless shelter.

From singing Halloween carols to nursing home residents to making blankets for Gianna’s house, the kids will provide worthwhile services to the community.

And their school benefits as well. Students were encouraged to ask family and friends to sponsor their community service work. They hope to top last year’s fundraising total of about $3,000.

Working on projects to help others is one thing, but seeing thankful eyes and hearing words of appreciation impress upon young minds the impact they’ve just had on someone else.

It’s an apt lesson in volunteerism that should pay future dividends.

THE READER’S VOICE

With higher wages, people would prosper AUSTEN J. SAGE Sterling

Teenagers and adults alike are struggling these days to make enough money to live. Working at any store is not enough anymore.

With the federal minimum wage at $7.25 an hour across the country, it makes it difficult to survive.

President Obama wants to raise the country’s minimum wage to $9 an hour. Although this plan has gone nowhere, many states like Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Alaska, Idaho and South Dakota are making the push and are on board in 2014 for a wage increase.

Advocates for the minimum wage increase say they’ll also wage campaigns in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to try to pressure the lawmakers to join the campaign.

Paul Sonn of the National Employment Law Project, an advocacy group, said, “I think we’ll see a bunch of states coalescing around the $10 figure and then higher-cost cities like Seattle, Washington, D.C., New York, possibly Chicago, and some more of the California cities, will be pushing for higher levels.”

If this were to happen, all of America would be making more money.

When we, the people, make more money, that means we can buy more goods to bring up the economy.

Yes, prices might be raised slightly, but in the long run, we can have enough money to live a little more comfortably.

Students with jobs can pay for college and their homes more easily.

This is the kind of change that Obama and Congress need to put in action.

Treatment of animals is inhumane ASHLEY KUHN Sterling

“The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.”

– Albert Einstein In the world we live in today, all people do is think about themselves.

They don’t care that at a moment’s notice, everything could be gone in an instant. Often at times, we take our animals for granted. Americans consume meat on a daily basis. Where do you think these meats come from?

You guessed it – animals.

Now more than ever, people are trying to stop others from eating meat.

You might ask, Why? Well, recent undercover investigators have videotaped animals, such as cows, pigs, and chickens, being slaughtered in an inhumane way. These producers raise the animals in cages that are so tight they end up dying.

They beat and drag these poor animals until no life is left in them.

These animals deserve justice and equal rights as humans. We, too, are animals ourselves. In 2013, an MFA investigator physically saw the Wiese Brothers Farms, located in Wisconsin, brutally kicking and dragging cows by their legs and necks using chains attached to a tractor. This is inhumane. We can do better than this.

Every single day these types of cruelty happen.

We have the power to change the way we treat these animals, and it starts with what’s on your dinner plate.

‘Keep our region moving forward’ CHERI BUSTOS East Moline

Since taking office, I have dedicated myself to fighting for the right priorities – creating jobs and growing our economy, standing up for our veterans, and reducing the federal deficit while protecting Social Security and Medicare.

Although we still have a ways to go, we’ve made important strides over the past 2 years.

This summer, I led the effort to defeat a partisan attempt to prevent the Thomson prison from opening. I’m pleased to report that after years of waiting, the prison has begun hiring and will create more than 1,100 good-paying jobs.

Our region has a long and proud manufacturing tradition and a skilled workforce that’s second to none.

We also have the infrastructure and innovative capacity to be a hub of national manufacturing growth.

That’s why, when the president visited Galesburg last year, I successfully urged him to bring the nation’s first-of-itskind Digital Manufactur-

This world-class manufacturing initiative, a collaboration between government, private business, and educational institutions, will take manufacturing in our region of Illinois to the next level.

I am a leader in building a “Make it in America” strategy focused on creating manufacturing jobs here at home. After hearing the concerns of some local veterans, I fought to ensure American flags bought with taxpayer dollars are actually made in America. I have also focused on expanding access to training and education to help our workers close the “skills gap” and com-

pete for the jobs that are available today.

To fight unemployment among our veterans, my Jobs for Heroes Act would extend and expand tax credits for employers who make hiring veterans a priority. I also support veteran job training efforts, including a special effort that also attacks the skills gap in advanced manufacturing, and hosted career fairs with priority access for veterans looking for jobs.

I worked across the aisle to hold senior employees within the Veterans Administration accountable for mismanagement and possible criminal miscon-

duct, and am proud of the work my office does to cut through red tape and help our brave veterans receive the benefits and care they earned and deserve.

Our nation’s debt crisis must be addressed, but we cannot balance the budget on the middle class. That’s why the first bill I introduced was the Government Waste Reduction Act, a common-sense bill that would eliminate duplicative services and root out government waste, while preserving critical programs like Medicare and Social Security and services for our veterans.

I am firmly against the Ryan budget my opponent supports. This misguided plan would raise out-of-pocket health care costs for Illinois seniors by about $6,400 a year.

I am proud of the progress we’ve made together in my short time in Congress. My commitment to the middle-class families of our region is as strong as ever, and if re-elected, I will continue to work tirelessly to keep our region moving forward.

‘Successfully advocate for people’ BOBBY SCHILLING Colona

I grew up in a working poor neighborhood in the west end of Rock Island.

Through hard work and carefully watching every dime we spent, my wife, Christie, and I have been able to raise our 10 children in the middle class.

That’s the American dream.

Preserving that American dream for the middle class and working poor is what caused me to run in 2010 and even more so this year.

When I won election to Congress, I kept every promise I made.

I rejected the congressional pension.

I rejected the Cadillac congressional health care plan for life.

I cut my budget by 11.4 percent.

I returned an additional $110,000 of my budget back to the taxpayers.

For the first time since the Korean War, we succeeded in spending less than the year before – in both the years I served.

Contrast that with my opponent Cheri Bustos, who co-sponsored a bill to cut congressional pay by 10 percent – knowing

Bobby Schilling Age: 50 Party: Republican Education: Alleman High School, Rock Island; attended Black Hawk College.

Experience: Former U.S. representative, 17th District, 201113; served on the House Armed Services Committee, the House Agriculture Committee, and the House Small Business Committee; currently director of Government and Legislative Affairs at CMB Regional Centers, Rock Island; coowner of Saint Giuseppe’s Heavenly Pizza, Moline; former insurance agent with Prudential Insurance Co.; previously worked at Container Corp. of America; former member, Local 191, United Paperworkers International Union. full well it would never pass. I didn’t wait for a bill to pass to abolish congressional pensions.

I led by example and just refused to participate in it.

Even though I earned every penny I’ve ever had, my opponent would have you believe that all I care about is the wellbeing of millionaires and billionaires and shipping as many jobs overseas as possible. That’s ridiculous. The nonpartisan PolitiFact has even said, “There is no special tax break for outsourcing.”

It’s just not true.

Working in a biparti-

san manner, I got three legislative measures approved to boost work at the Rock Island Arsenal, and in times of tight budgets, I succeeded in getting funds to replace one of the most obsolete bridges in the district.

That is successfully advocating for the economic interests of the district – something I will focus on again for all parts of the district.

I’m most proud of the major veterans legislation I authored and introduced.

Back in 2011, I put together a bill in Congress to allow veterans

facing ridiculously long waiting periods to obtain treatment at the Veterans Administration to bypass bureaucracy by getting waivers to seek treatment at local hospitals and health care providers.

The bill didn’t pass during my 2 years in Congress. But when the VA scandal hit the headlines last spring, my bill was reintroduced by my friend, who is the chairman of the House Veterans Committee, and it passed the House by a vote of 426-0 and went on to became law.

I’m running to further advocate for the economic interests of our district, as I did successfully in my first term.

And most of all, I’m running to once again make our government accountable to the people it represents.

In order to move this country forward, we need representatives who will keep their promises and successfully advocate for the people in this district.

My record is proven, and I want to do more. I ask for the consideration of my candidacy to serve you once again.

Search for husband stumbles over scars Dear Abby, I am a 21-year-old woman from the Philippines. I have been insecure all my life. I know I have a pretty face, but I have a lot of scars on my legs from childhood. Because of this, I am depressed, unhappy and insecure. I never wear shorts, skirts or dresses that show my legs.

Do you think there is some guy somewhere who will love me despite my scars? I’m well aware that guys like sexy ladies with flawless skin. I hate the way my legs look, and I doubt I will ever find a husband. Please help me.

– Insecure Lady

honest and who don’t play games. A man who would reject you because of scars on your legs isn’t a person you need for a lasting, meaningful relationship.

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

self down. Sometimes, we women can be our most severe critics. If you stop looking for reasons men won’t like you and start concentrating on why they will, you may have better luck.

Men like women who Dear Insecure, are fun to be around, Please quit putting your- who are kind, intelligent,

Dear Abby, My dog got my neighbor’s dog pregnant, and my neighbor kept it secret so she can sell the pups and keep all the money. I know this because her son told me so.

My dog died this week and I really want one of the puppies. I can’t afford to buy one at $300.

Does the family of the father of the pups have any rights?

– Missing My Doggie

Dear Missing My Doggie, Pets are supposed to be spayed or neutered to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved dog.

If the pregnancy was unplanned, the owner of the female is not obligated to provide a puppy or compensation to the owner of the male. Perhaps out of compassion your neighbor will relent and give one to you.

Dear Abby, I have been married for more than 15 years to a man who refuses to kiss me. We kissed briefly on our wedding day (long enough to take a photo)

and have not done so since then.

This past New Year’s Eve, instead of the traditional kiss on the lips, he gave me a kiss on the head and a peck, akin to what you’d see between close friends. He says the human mouth has many germs in it.

Abby, I dream of being kissed. I know the possibility of it happening during my marriage is close to nil. What can I do? I am well-groomed and practice good oral hygiene.

– Doing Without Something Nice in Washington Dear Doing Without, It has been 15 years since you have been

kissed, and you’re writing me about it only now?

Was your courtship this way, too?

Relationships wither without affection. Your husband appears to either be germ phobic or passive aggressive. Unless he is willing to talk to a counselor about it, nothing will change. I hope he’ll do it before you meet someone else under the mistletoe or at the stroke of midnight.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

HUNGRY?

STERLING – Country music artist Chris Cavanaugh has been playing on the road, doing what he loves, for about 5 years now.

That road will bring Cavanaugh, of Nashville, Tennessee, to the area when he hits the stage at 9 p.m. Saturday at Champs Sports Bar and Grill, 216 Locust St. Admission is free.

His passion took him to new heights this year, performing as an opening act on tour with Jake Owen during the country superstar’s Days of Gold Tour.

It’s artists like Jake Owen and Lee Brice to whom Cavanaugh relates, he said. But, his roots trace back to some of pop country’s royalty.

“I’ve been influenced by a lot of artists ... mostly by artists like Garth Brooks and Brooks and Dunn,” Cavanaugh said.

The rest of the year, Cavanaugh will continue to tour through the Midwest with his band. He also plans to announce some shows with major artists soon.

Visit chriscavanaughmusic.com to stay updated and to listen to Cavanaugh’s music.

‘Nightcrawler’ Release date: Oct. 31 Jake Gyllenhaal lost 20 pounds for this movie.

That’s dedication. Usually, when an already-thin artist loses weight for a role, good things happen.

See: “Dallas Buyer’s Club” and “Cast Away.” It’s science. The movie depicts a man’s journey through the world of freelance crime journalism in Los Angeles. It looks intense.

Gyllenhaal looks on top of his game, and the film could skyrocket to the top of a resumé of an alreadyaccomplished actor.

‘Foxcatcher’ Release date: Nov. 14 A few years ago, I don’t think many would have believed that in 2014, Steve Carell and Channing Tatum would be starring in a drama that was receiving Oscar buzz months before its release. Mark Ruffalo is also already drawing critical acclaim for his performance.

The movie follows the true story of an Olympic champion wrestler, Mark Schultz, and how a man with paranoid schizophrenia, John du Pont, killed Schultz’s brother, Dave Schultz, also an Olympic champion wrestler.

‘Dumb and Dumber To’ Release date: Nov. 14 It’s pretty unprecedented that characters in a

‘The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies’ Release date: Dec. 17 The “Hobbit” movies, up to this point, might not have entirely lived up to the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. But, to be fair, that’s a high bar to reach.

Regardless, the movies, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” and “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” have still been good, flirting with great at times. Is Peter Jackson (director) saving his best work for last? This could be the last time we see Middle Earth for a while. Let’s make it count.

comedy reprise their roles 20 years after the first movie’s release. But Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels aren’t just any actors, and “Dumb and Dumber” wasn’t just any comedy.

The original is a classic.

It’s undoubtedly near the top of the list when it comes to silly comedies.

This time around, Harry and Lloyd are in search for Harry’s long-lost daughter, because he needs a new kidney. Let the hijinks ensue! I have high hopes, because this sequel was done right, with the Farrelly brothers, who were behind the first film.

When it comes to overall quality, it hasn’t been the best year at the box office.

But, with movies like “The Judge,” and “Gone Girl,” 2014 is doing its best to end the year on a high note.

The next 2 months promise more movies I’ve wanted to see than the previous (almost) 10 months of the year combined. Here’s a few of them.

McConaughey’s career.

And Christopher Nolan, the man behind the “Batman” trilogy, is at the helm? Well, insert overused reference to “Dazed and Confused” here. If you don’t get that joke, it’s all right (all right, all right). In the movie, the environment of Earth is becoming uninhabitable, and a group of explorers use a wormhole for space travel and try to save humanity. So, grab the popcorn and hold on.

Mahesh Bhupathi, who won 12 doubles grand slam tennis titles, said, “I am glad that Wimbledon is my last slam. I love the atmosphere and courts of SW19, and it is an addiction, which I will find tough to give up.”

If you have never been to Wimbledon, go. As Bhupathi says, the atmosphere is special.

If you are in a bridge slam, take some extra time, because so many points are at stake. In this deal, how should South play in six spades after West leads the club queen?

North’s two-no-trump response showed a balanced hand with eight points or more. South, knowing that his side had at least an eight-card spade fit, used the Gerber

convention, asking for aces.

The original declarer took the first trick with dummy’s club king and played a spade to his king – and had to concede down one when West

discarded. If the spades were 2-2 or 3-1, there would not have been a problem. So South should have slammed his attention on dealing with a 4-0 break. If West had all four, the contract was unmakable.

But when East had four, they could be picked up if South could lead through East’s 10-nine twice. But that required two dummy entries: the heart ace and club king.

Declarer had to win the first trick in his hand and lead the spade king.

Suppose East won with his ace and returned his second club. South would have won in the dummy and played a spade.

Presumably East would have put in his nine or 10, but declarer would have won, returned to dummy with a heart, and finessed East out of his last two trumps. © 2014 UFS

The Newman flag football team warms up before its game against the Dixon team during the 2013 Touchdown for TaTas competition on Sterling Chevrolet Field at Roscoe Eades Stadium in Sterling. The second annual women’s flag football tournament returns Saturday. Gates open at 10 a.m.; the games begin at 11. Admission is free; donations will be accepted. raised more than $30,000 for local nonprofits that care for those touched by breast cancer. More than 3,000 people participated in one way or another, Melissa Ryan said.

So, how it works is, for $20, you can get your name on a team roster, and, if you want, you can play.

Don’t have a team? Don’t worry, organizers will find you a spot.

Teams include the Pink Warriors, made up of Sterling Junior Tackle and Northern Illinois Youth Tackle Football babes, and the Sterling Smashers, among them local roller derby divas. CGH Medical Center has a team, as does Newman Central Catholic High School. Michelle’s Misfits are

representing local health departments.

Plenty of room for any woman who wants to get her game on.

Don’t want to play? No problem, your donation will be happily accepted, and your name added to the roster anyway. The team with the most names on its roster wins bragging rights for raising the most money. Last year, about 1,000 people joined the rosters.

The team that wins the tourney gets a trophy.

In addition to feminine flag football action, there will be food for sale, vendors plying goods (makeup, Pampered Chef items, headbands and the like), a 50/50 raffle, and information and resources for

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS | WEEK 9 FORRESTON (8-0) AT EPC (8-0)

Clash of titans in Lanark NUIC Northwest title at stake Friday

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

It will be a classic battle of undefeated, state-ranked teams when Forreston travels to Lanark on Friday to take on Eastland-Pearl City.

At stake is the NUIC Northwest title and a possible No. 1 seed in the playoffs.

“You could write a script about this game,” EPC coach Randy Asche said.

“Small school football is so important to communities like ours.

They’ll travel well. We’ll have great fans there at the bowl in Lanark.

Donny The kids know Groezinger each other. TV, EPC newspaper, senior radio, social media – it’s a big deal.”

Forreston is ranked No. 1 in 1A, while EPC is the No. 2 team in 2A. The past few years have seen relatively close games between the perennial powers, with EPC winning four of the last five.

This year, EPC has outscored its opponents 37462, while Forreston has a similar edge at 334-41.

If Dixon football coach Dave Smith had it his way, the Dukes would face Byron in Week 9 each year.

“In order to get prepared for the playoffs, you prepare for Byron,” Smith said after practice Wednesday.

For Regan Todhunter, earning a starting role on Newman’s defense was just another hurdle he needed to clear.

Much like the actual hurdles he clears with ease each spring during track season, he has succeeded with flying colors.

Todhunter has found his niche on a stingy Comets defensive unit that will look to finish off the regular season in style when Amboy comes to town on Friday night.

On the calendar Local events

Bothe on Hall of Fame ballot Former Augustana College All-American John Bothe is on the ballot for the 2015 College Football Hall of Fame. An announcement on who will be enshrined will be made on Jan. 9, 2015.

Bothe, currently the head coach at Oregon, was a 4-year starter for Augustana, and helped the Vikings to a 45-3-1 record during that time. He was a first-team All-America as a senior in 1988, a 3-time all-conference (1986-88) selection, and one of three finalists for the Division III player of the year in 1988.

NFL

Goodell ordered to testify in Rice appeal NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has been ordered to testify in former Ravens running back Ray Rice’s appeal hearing.

NFL lawyers have been resistant to having Goodell testify in the hearing, set for Nov. 5 and Nov. 6, hoping to avoid a he-said, he-said situation between the league’s top executive and the three-time Pro Bowl running back, who was suspended indefinitely by the league.

Lions cut running back in London Running back William Powell went all the way to London with the Detroit Lions only to be cut from their practice squad on Wednesday.

Powell arrived in England on Tuesday with the Lions for Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, but 1 day later learned that he was out of a job and had to go back to the United States.

The Lions released Powell to make room on their practice squad roster as the Lions shuffled to add tight end Kellen Davis to the active roster.

MLB

Abreu, Rizzo earn All-Star team honors White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu and Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo have been named to the Sporting News All-Star teams.

Abreu was also named the Sporting News American League Rookie of the Year on Monday.

NBA

Lottery reform a no-go A proposal to change the current lottery system for the NBA Draft in order to discourage teams from deliberately losing games was rejected Wednesday at the league’s Board of Governors meeting.

The revised plan was agreed to by 17 of the 30 owners, but a change in bylaws requires a 75 percent approval rate to pass.

That means the current arrangement, in which the team with the worst record receives a 25 percent chance at the No. 1 overall pick and is guaranteed no worse than selecting fourth, will remain in place.

Brad Keselowski celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday in Talladega, Ala. He has gotten under the skin of fellow drivers during his successful career.

No full-time work at Illinois Illini quarterbacks will split time against Minnesota

BY SHANNON RYAN Chicago Tribune

Illinois was due for a getaway, coach Tim Beckman said.

When the Illini return to the field Saturday against Minnesota, they seem due for a win. Last week’s open date was the opportunity they needed to regroup, after falling to 0-3 in the Big Ten. “Our players are very excited,” Beckman said at Monday’s news conference. “It was very important for us to have some time [off].”

Most Illini fans are more concerned about who will return to the field.

Illinois used both of its healthy quarterbacks in its last game, playing Reilly O’Toole for three quarters and Aaron Bailey in the fourth in a 38-28 loss Oct. 11 at Wisconsin.

Beckman said both will play Saturday, but did not reveal how they would split time.

“Anybody that gets on that field is someone we think can win a game for us,” Beckman said. “We have two players who can run an offense. To prepare for two is a little more difficult than to prepare for one.”

Especially when the quarterbacks are as different as Bailey and O’Toole.

Bailey, a sophomore,

Illinois quarterback Reilly O’Toole looks to pass against Wisconsin during the first half on Saturday in Madison, Wis. O’Toole will split time with fellow QB Aaron Bailey during Saturday’s game against Minnesota. added a rushing dynamic with a team-high 75 yards on 12 carries and a touchdown in his first appearance of the season. O’Toole, a senior, completed 12 of 19 passes for 96 yards and two touchdowns.

Beckman said Bailey received 20 extra snaps during off-week practices, as did all other players who had not played at least 120 snaps in games.

The players will learn ahead of time when each will play. Against Wisconsin, Beckman said he told Bailey he would play in the sec-

ond or third quarter, but because O’Toole was playing well, he didn’t enter the game until the fourth.

“It is important for a team to know when it’s going to happen,” Beckman said.

Focusing on the future, Beckman said, is essential to finish the season strong.

“All of our capabilities are in front of us,” he said. “We’re treating this like a 15-round bout.”

Punishment pending: Football staffer

Ryan Cubit is awaiting punishment from university administrators,

Beckman said, after his arrest Oct. 12 on a DUI charge. Cubit, the son of offensive coordinator Bill Cubit, is the Illini’s director of student-athlete development.

“He made a mistake,” Beckman said. “He realizes that. I’ll keep [the disciplinary process] among us, but there will be some discipline.”

Extra points: Junior defensive tackle Teko Powell is out for the season, Beckman said.

If he returned this year, he would risk breaking a plate in his foot. Having played in only three games, Powell can apply for a medical redshirt. … Christian DiLauro is likely to start at right tackle, although he is competing this week in practice with Pat Flavin. … Former Illini defensive end Corey Liuget, who plays for the Chargers, will be at Memorial Stadium as a guest coach. … The Illini will wear their “gray ghost” uniforms against Minnesota that they unveiled against Wisconsin.

A Royal beating KC bats awaken, even Series against Giants

BY DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Salvador Perez and the pesky Kansas City Royals fought back from a Game 1 flop to beat the San Francisco Giants’ brilliant bullpen and even the World Series.

Perez broke Game 2 open with a two-run double in a five-run sixth inning, and the Royals’ own cast of clutch relievers kept the Giants in check in a 7-2 victory Wednesday night that spiced things up as the Series shifts to San Francisco for the next three games.

Jeremy Guthrie will be on the mound Friday night for the Royals, who had won eight straight playoff games before a 7-1 loss in the opener.

Tim Hudson will start for San Francisco.

“We felt like with our big sixth inning there, we took a little bit of momentum out of them,” said Billy Butler, whose RBI single in the sixth gave the Royals a 3-2 lead.

Perez followed with a double into the left-field gap, and Omar Infante hit a two-run shot off Hunter Strickland, the fifth home run that he’d allowed to 23 postseason batters.

Strickland appeared to mutter to himself as he stalked back to the mound, and Perez overheard him. The two exchanged words and players from both dugouts spilled onto the field. More streamed in from the outfield bullpens before order was

Giants relief pitcher Hunter Strickland walks past as the Royals’ Salvador Perez (13) says something to him after a two-run home run by Omar Infante in the sixth inning of Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday in Kansas City.

The Royals won 7-2 to even the series at 1-1. finally restored.

Suddenly, a series that began with a sleepy blowout had some life.

Young flamethrower Yordano Ventura, with his 100 mph fastball singeing the brims of

the Giants’ batting helmets, allowed just two runs while pitching into the sixth inning.

The 23-year-old hardly looked like the first rookie to make a World Series start in Royals history,

calmly working through a lineup that ravaged staff ace James Shields just 24 hours earlier.

The dynamic trio of Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland did the rest.

“If Forreston stays healthy and plays up to its ability, they could have a long run in the playoffs. This could be their year,” Asche said.

Asche is especially worried about stopping Forreston quarterback Robert DeVries.

“He has skills that are rarely seen,” Asche said.

“What makes him special are his drive to succeed, understanding of the game and competitive nature. He’s such a threat.”

Asche realizes Forreston is more than a onetrick pony.

“They are a special team. It’s hard to have a collection of that many athletes at school that size,” Asche said. “How

Asche was reluctant to pinpoint any standouts for his team “One on one, they’re better than us. We’ve got to beat them as a team,” Asche said. “Their skill sets and execution puts them at an elite level.”

The Spartans rely on junior Dion Hooker at running back. Hooker won the 200 meters at the Class 2A state track meet last spring. He also took sixth in the 100.

Hooker has rushed for 951 yards and seven TDs despite missing the first two games of the season because of a suspension.

The Spartans are coming off an 18-15 loss to Morris last week.

Hooker was held to to 94 yards on 20 carries.

The topic to be shared are the 4 Bills currently before Congress called “Liberty Legislation” (SB 1663, 64, 65 and 209/HR24), and how they will restore The Rule of the People over our government, their impact upon domestic and foreign policy, our corrupt and failing monetary system, health care and the endless wars of both republicans and democrats alike.

Four of five linebacking spots were occupied by seniors (Terveer, Mike Ely, J.P Neisewander and Mac Olson) a year ago, making competition fierce for those positions this year.

Todhunter set his sights on playing at a level comparable to Terveer, who helped the Comets turn into a dominant defense in last season’s run to a Class 2A state title.

“He was an excellent ‘backer,” Todhunter said of Terveer, “and this year I was really pushing myself to be just as good as he was last year. My goal was to be able to step into last year’s players’ shoes, and not let the team fall back.”

Through eight games, Todhunter is third on the team with 38 tackles, and he shares the team lead in sacks with three. Newman defensive coordinator Tim Nelson pegged him as a player who would need to raise his game this season, and thus far, is pleased with the results.

“He’s always been a pretty good athlete,” Nelson said, “but he’s always been a little too overaggressive. He’s learned this year to control his aggression, and when to go and when not to go.

He’s been reading things great.”

Offensively, Todhunter could be a feature back on some teams, but at Newman, he’s simply part of a crowded backfield where carries are at premium. He has 20 attempts for 108 yards, while Brady Rude (87 carries, 1,237 yards, 17 TDs), Nolan McGinn (69-895, 14 TDs) and Dillan Heffelfinger (78-605, 11 TDs) receive the bulk of the work.

“You really can’t ask for a better backfield than that,” Todhunter said. “They’re hard workers. They block for each other. They’re allaround great teammates, and I wouldn’t want to be on any other team. I’m perfectly happy being second to them, because they’re truly a great backfield.”

Come track season, Todhunter will be taking a backseat to few people, at least in the hurdles. He finished fifth at state in the 110 hurdles with a time of 15.17 sec-

Amboy’s Chris Jones has rushed 204 times for 919 yards this season. The Newman defense will try to take Jones away as an offensive option Friday night at Roscoe Eades Stadium. onds, and was also a qualifier in the 300 hurdles.

“Track is always in the back of my mind,” Todhunter said, “but during football season, it has to stay there. My team comes first during football season, and that’s my priority.”

This week, that means dealing with an Amboy team that finds itself squarely on the playoff bubble. The Clippers (5-3, 3-2 Three Rivers North) are in that position after home losses to Bureau Valley and Fulton the past 2 weeks.

Facing a motivated team, Todhunter noted, is nothing new.

“We usually take the brunt of whatever everybody has,” Todhunter said, “and Amboy, they give beyond what they have when they play us. I’m looking forward to this game. It’s going to be a great test.”

Newman (8-0, 5-0) has already clinched the division title, and is riding a 25-game conference winning streak. As the Comets played on Saturday last week, it allowed the coaching staff to take in Amboy’s 14-13 loss to Fulton the previous night.

Coach Mike Papoccia said Amboy was similar to Clipper teams of the past, in that it was very physical, ran the ball well, and played stout defense. He said Amboy’s defense ranked second, behind Rockridge, among those his team will face in the regular season.

“I know they’re going to come in fired up, because they’ve got a lot to play for,” Papoccia said. “[Head coach] Gary [Jones] always does a great job getting them ready, so it’s going to be a typical AmboyNewman game.”

2012-13 FORD FOCUS SE, SEL & TITANIUMS

Set your imagination free Thursday, October 23, 2014 A year of positive change lies ahead. Think about implementing services or products in your home or lifestyle that will add to your comfort and enjoyment.

You will be surprised to learn that you can earn money doing something you love. Turn a hobby into a profitable venture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- An old idea may have current relevance. A successful partnership can be achieved if you don’t try to manipulate matters. Be a team player and practice give-and-take.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Someone may have an unhealthy interest in your personal life. Keep your private information in a secure location.

Don’t flaunt your cash while shopping or traveling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will gain personal pride and outside recognition from the work you do to help others. Your concern for the underdog will ease the worries of someone less fortunate.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your colleagues and friends will not be as honest

as you. You will be told what you want to hear, not what is really happening. Investigate any situation that seems dubious.

It’s time to have some fun. You are the perfect host, so gather your friends and plan a party or activity. Don’t neglect anyone.

Spread your cheer around.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Romance looks positive.

This is a good time to clear up money matters and outstanding debts. You can make a difference in your community by signing up for volunteer work.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Unrest at home will have you heading for the great outdoors.

Take a breather away from conflict. A short road trip will provide a pleasant diversion.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- You will gain support from an unlikely source. New and valuable contacts can be made.

Your infectious enthusiasm will bring you increased attention and the help you need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You will be amazed that so many people seem to feel the same way you do. Talks regarding partnership deals and contracts will turn in your favor. Make the most of your day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t let anyone get to you.

Avoid arguments by staying calm and doing your own thing.

A family member will need immediate care. Do your best, without criticizing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Set your imagination free.

Your plans to start your own business or change your present profession will motivate you.

Investigate the best way you can make your ideas come to life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be mindful of minor health concerns. Keep your medical and dental records up to date.

Remember to include any pets when you are scheduling family checkups and appointments.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) --
