SERVING ROCK FALLS, STERLING AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1854

STERLING

Learning center work delayed Historical society now shooting to start construction in mid-April

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

STERLING – Project organizers have decided to delay construction of the Lincoln Learning Center until spring.

The Sterling-Rock Falls His-

torical Society had hoped to get the exterior up before winter, so work could continue indoors during the harsh weather. Organizers say the process is moving along, but there is more paperwork involved than they had envisioned.

“We are a long way from getting the paperwork done that allows us to apply for a building permit, and we had said that if we didn’t have one by mid-October, we couldn’t start until spring,” said Bill Abate, president of the historical society.

Abate said the organization discovered that the process is much more complicated when a commercial building is involved. All three of the properties the historical society owns in that area had to be surveyed, and architectural drawings must be approved and sent

to all of the subcontractors.

“There are at least 25 drawings that must be reviewed by the architect and certified by an engineer before they can be submitted to the city for approval,” Abate said.

Q&A | DIXON’S LARRY DUNPHY

He owns the store where everybody knows your name Books on First owner proud of ‘destination’ shop

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529 @BWest_SVM

DIXON – He’s held a number of odd jobs over the years, but owning a bookstore was one of the last things Larry Dunphy

envisioned for himself.

But in 1998, his wife, Carolyn Chin, sold him on the concept. After spending a year looking around, the couple settled on the property at the southwest corner of West First Street and Hennepin Avenue.

Books On First has evolved into a local favorite for coffee and chatter, and Dunphy said there’s a loyal following.

IN BRIEF Woman on probation for abandoning dogs PEKIN (AP) – A Tazewell County woman has been sentenced to a year’s probation for leaving two dogs to die without food or water.

Regina Robards must pay more than $1,000 in court costs and could have faced 3 years in prison for her conviction on two counts of aggravated cruelty to a companion animal.

Circuit Judge Paul Gilfillan said the 43-year-old Robards previously led a law-abiding life and declined to impose a fine because she is “virtually homeless.”

Robards left her Pekin rental home in the summer of 2014 and moved in with her landlady, Loretta Joachim. The dogs were discovered badly decomposed in November 2014.

Woman fights to get seized horses back ROSSVILLE (AP) – A woman whose horses were seized by authorities in eastern Illinois says she takes in animals rescued from situations of neglect and that she is not guilty of cruelty or failing to care for them.

Rhonda Powell’s trial on charges of animal cruelty will start today. She and her husband run a farm east of the village of Rossville, where animal control officers say they found horses that were underfed and not properly cared for.

Vermilion County attorney Bill Donahue says that in May investigators found evidence supporting veterinarian reports of neglect at the farm.

They seized nine horses and other animals.

NEWS ANALYSIS | LAW ENFORCEMENT

IN BRIEF

AP: System keeps abusive cops on job For 44 states that decertify, process can take years

BY NOMAAN MERCHANT AND MATT SEDENSKY The Associated Press

Law enforcement officers accused of sexual misconduct have jumped from job to job – and at times faced fresh allegations that include raping women – because of a tattered network of laws and lax screening that allowed them to stay on the beat.

A yearlong Associated Press investigation into sex abuse by cops, jail guards, deputies and other state law enforcement officials uncovered a broken system for policing bad officers, with significant flaws in how agencies deal with those suspected of sexual misconduct and glaring warning signs that go unreported or get overlooked.

The AP examination found about 1,000 officers in 6 years who lost their licenses because of sex crimes that included rape, or sexual misconduct ranging from propositioning citizens to consensual but prohibited on-duty intercourse.

That number fails to reflect the breadth of the problem, however, because it measures only officers who faced an official process called decertification, and not all states have such a system or provided records.

In states that do revoke law enforcement licenses, the process can take years. And while there is a national index of decertified officers, contributing to it is voluntary, and experts say the database, which is not open to the public, is missing thousands of names.

Some officers are permitted to quietly resign and never even face decertification. Others are able to keep working because departments might not be required to report all

AP

Sarasota Police Department Chief Bernadette DiPino sits at her desk Sept. 28 in Sarasota, Florida. As an officer in Ocean City, Maryland, DiPino encountered what she called a “laissez faire” attitude about sexually inappropriate behavior. She is now chief of the Sarasota Police Department in Florida and helped develop the International Association of Chiefs of Police report on sexual misconduct. misdeeds to a state police standards commission, or they neglect to. Agencies also might not check references when hiring, or fail to share past problems with new employers.

In 2010, a woman sued the Grand Junction Police Department in Colorado, insisting the department erred in hiring officer Glenn Coyne and then failed to supervise him. Coyne was fired, and killed himself days after he was arrested on suspicion of raping the woman in September 2009.

That was sexual assault accusation No. 3, court records show. While Coyne was still with the Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, another woman accused him of subjecting her to a strip search and groping her. The complaint came after Grand Junction had completed its background check, and Mesa County officials – who declined comment – did not investigate or inform Coyne’s new employer, according to court records.

A second complaint came in 2008 when a woman accused Coyne of sexual assault. Grand Junction officials placed the

officer on probation and cut his pay and, even though the district attorney declined to prosecute, Coyne was still on probation when the third accusation was lodged. While the courts found no deliberate indifference by police in employing Coyne, one ruling said the “handling of Officer Coyne could and should have been better.”

Police standards agencies in 44 states can revoke the licenses of problem officers, which should prevent a bad cop from moving on to police work elsewhere. But six states, including New York and California, have no decertification authority over officers who commit misconduct.

And in states with decertification powers, virtually every police standards agency relies on local departments to investigate and report questionable conduct. Those reporting requirements vary, said Roger Goldman, an expert on police licensing. About 20 states can decertify an officer only after a criminal conviction.

Consider the variations between Pennsylvania and

Florida. In Pennsylvania, the state agency responsible for police certification reported just 20 revocations from 2009 through 2014, none for sexrelated crimes or misconduct.

Florida decertified 2,125 officers in those 6 years, some 162 for sex-related misconduct.

The difference: Florida is automatically notified when an officer is arrested and requires local departments to report any time an officer is found to have committed misconduct involving “moral character.” Pennsylvania relies on law enforcement agencies to report when an officer has committed a crime or misconduct.

The records provided to the AP did not include any decertification for former Pittsburgh police officer Adam Skweres, who pleaded guilty in 2013 to extorting sexual favors from five women and is serving up to 8 years in prison.

Another concern is the length of the decertification process.

In Texas, Michael John Nelson was accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old neighbor while working for the Hardeman County Sheriff’s Office.

The local district attorney told the AP he did not prosecute in exchange for Nelson relinquishing his law enforcement license, an agreement reached with the victim and her family.

Yet by the time his decertification was final in 2011 – a year after he left the sheriff’s office – Nelson had already worked briefly as a reserve deputy in the town of Bayou Vista.

Nelson said he told his new boss when he learned he was under investigation and turned in his badge once charges were filed.

Paul Odin, who replaced the Bayou Vista police chief who hired Nelson, said background checks often are limited by a department’s size and budget, and that “a lot of agencies, a lot of cities – to avoid lawsuits – won’t disclose anything negative.”

FALL SPECIAL

Newspaper: Impasse costing state in long run SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Some vendors who provide Illinois services say the budget impasse costs the state more in the long run.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers cited a sample of vendors in its report.

It says companies receive more interest with long delayed payments while other companies might avoid doing business with Illinois because of the impasse.

That could lead to less competition and higher prices.

Others increase prices.

Alabama-based Shoe Corporation of Birmingham says they charge 1 percent more when dealing with Illinois. James Little is state and federal contracts administrator of the company which sells shoes to the Department of Corrections.

The Secretary of State’s office has already lost a contract with a security company over late payments.

Concealed carry license holder kills armed gunman CHICAGO (AP) – A customer with a concealed carry license shot and killed an armed man attempting to rob a Chicago neighborhood store, police said Sunday.

A masked man walked into the store and currency exchange about 7 p.m. Saturday on the city’s southwest side, displayed a handgun and announced a robbery to an employee, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. The gunman then pointed his weapon at another employee and forced her to the back of the store.

The armed customer then fatally shot the man, identified Sunday by the Cook County medical examiner’s office as 55-year-old Reginald Gildersleeve. Other details about Gildersleeve weren’t released.

No one else was hurt during the incident. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the customer, who has not been identified, will face charges. Guglielmi said preliminary details suggest the customer was not at fault, but that the case was under review by local prosecutors.

Caterpillar starts layoffs in Decatur DECATUR (AP) – Caterpillar Inc. has started laying off Decatur workers.

Company spokeswoman Rachel Potts confirmed the employee notifications to The Herald & Review, but says the company won’t be releasing the total number by location.

In September, the Peoria-based manufacturer announced that it was planning another round of job cuts that could exceed 10,000 people through 2018. The company says it’ll cut as many as 5,000 people, mostly by the end of this year, from its salaried and management workforce.

Caterpillar makes diesel and natural gas engines, industrial gas turbines and diesel-electric locomotives, aside from construction and mining equipment.

Several sectors that it serves have been hit by problems beyond the company’s control.

Rockford taxi driver fatally shot in cab ROCKFORD (AP) – Police in Rockford say a taxi driver was found shot to death in his cab.

Officers responding Saturday to a call about a suspicious vehicle found the taxi van parked on the grass in front of two vacant, boarded-up homes.

The victim was slumped over in the driver’s seat.

Assistant Deputy Police Chief Pat Hoey says the 33-year-old man had been shot in the chest and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities were not releasing his name, pending notification of family.

Police say he had been sent to the area to pick up a fare.

The Register Star reported that detectives are investigating the death as a possible robbery and homicide.

Landowners share pipeline concerns LARRABEE, Iowa (AP) – The Iowa landowners who oppose a proposed pipeline to carry North Dakota oil to Illinois hope state regulators will consider their concerns about the project.

Rancher Jack Montgomery told the Sioux City Journal that the pipeline Dakota Access has proposed has started to seem like a done deal.

The Iowa Utilities Board is scheduled to begin pipeline hearings on Nov. 12 after a judge ruled that landowners should take their concerns to regulators before filing a lawsuit.

Don Tormey, who is a spokesman for state regulators, says the board hasn’t made any decision on the 348-mile pipeline route across Iowa.

He says the fact that Dakota Access has begun stockpiling pipe doesn’t mean the pipeline will be approved.

IN BRIEF

Rosie M. Truitt

Store owner has no plans to retire Q&A

CONTINUED FROM A1

“Bookstores, barber shops – they’re traditional places of discussion,” he said. “It was my wife’s idea. She said she wanted to make it a destination. … She was talking about it, and I thought, ‘Sounds good to me.’”

Last week, Dunphy, 77, sat down with SVM to talk small business, the downtown, and the challenges of running one of the few independent Illinois book shops west of the Chicago suburbs.

How did Books On First get its start?

It was all my wife’s idea. She always wanted to open a book store like Harvard’s in Cambridge (Massachusetts).

How did she bring that idea up to you, then?

I don’t know. I’d been at this one job for 7 years. At the time, it was the longest job I’d ever had, so 7 years felt like forever. She was talking about it and I thought, “Sounds good to me.” I grew up in Amboy. I was familiar with the area.

We looked for a building for about a year. We were standing across the street and looked at this place. I said, “We either overpay for this place or forget about it.” This was

a complete gut job. It was an insurance office for years. This building was built in 1859.

Was it always going to be in Dixon when you were looking around?

No. There was a bookstore for sale in Princeton, and we kind of hinted like we wanted it. They were thinking about selling and they decided not to sell. It had to be far enough from competition. Not that there aren’t independent book stores in Chicago, but it’s tough to do in Chicago.

You’ve got Barnes & Noble and at the time, Borders.

I’ve heard the claim that you’re the largest independently owned book store in the region …

Big deal. There aren’t that many independent book stores (laughs).

I’ve come to realize pretty quickly that Books on First is a major hangout spot for a lot of people in this community. Why do you think that is?

It’s just a good place for discussion over a coffee or latte. We’re centrally located. Several people who come here work downtown and early in the morning; there’s no trouble parking. We wanted to make it a destination.

Do you think you’ve accomplished that?

I think so, yeah.

What are the benefits to the community of having a local independent bookstore like this?

First of all, we’re open 75 hours a week. We’re the only business downtown that’s open on Sundays. We do a lot of coffee business. This is a place where you [go when you] forgot to buy a present for your friend’s 6-year-old’s birthday party. We get a lot of that last-minute shopping. We have live music on Saturdays – that goes back to being a destination. I’ve never had the intention of ever retiring.

Why is that?

What would I do in retirement? I’d be bored.

I’ve just always worked.

Always liked it, too?

When I didn’t like a job, I’d quit.

Do you feel like a lot of people know you well?

Yeah, but of course who doesn’t? A lot of people say “I’ll meet you at Larry’s.”

What do people not realize about this place?

One of the interesting things is we’ve had the same hours for the

last 17 years. Including Sundays and open until 9 on Fridays. Yet, I have people who come in here once or twice a week and they’ll say, “When did you start staying open on Sundays? When did you start staying open late on Fridays?” It’s been on the door for 17 years. It hasn’t changed (laughs). And we’re all good with customers and remembering peoples’ names – very important when running a small business – we’re all good at it. The customers know the employees’ names. We just have a lot of regular customers.

Personability. It seems like that can be a make or break for a business like yours.

If you own the place, you have to work 60 hours a week. I work 6 days a week. Whenever you own your own business, you work a lot of hours. But hell, everyone works a lot of hours, whether you own a business or not.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT

3rd sign-up season opens Prices, politics challenge law in Obama’s last year in office WASHINGTON (AP) – The government’s insurance website is faster and easier to use, but as a third sign-up season gets underway, President Barack Obama’s health care law is approaching limits.

Enrollment on the federal and state exchanges began Sunday. While the law’s expanded coverage has reduced the uninsured rate to a historic low of about 9 percent, the gains will be harder in 2016.

Supporters might feel they’re running to stay in place, rather than taking a victory lap during the president’s last full year in office.

The reasons have to do with the structure of the complicated law, the effects of a major change introduced by the Supreme Court and political divisions likely to be magnified in an election year.

The fate of the Affordable Care Act – known as “Obamacare” to its detractors – is very much in the hands of the next president. A weak sign-up season could embolden opponents who are so far unwilling to relent.

The law’s two major engines of coverage expansion face challenges simultaneously.

Costs are going up on the private, taxpayersubsidized coverage sold

AP

John Davis looks out a window of his home Oct. 28 in Port Charlotte, Floria. Davis, a 49-year-old construction worker unemployed because of health problems, is among those who cannot get health insurance through HealthCare.gov because the law prevents people below the poverty line from using the insurance exchanges. So the private insurance alternative is closed to them, even as their states refuse to expand public coverage. through HealthCare. gov and state insurance exchanges, and many of the more than 10 million eligible uninsured Americans are skeptics. They tend to be younger people on tight budgets, with other priorities for spending their money.

A sharp increase in fines might sway at least some fence-sitters. In 2016, the penalty will rise to $695 or 2.5 percent of taxable income, whichever is higher. This year, the fine is the greater of $325 or 2 percent of income.

On the law’s Medicaid expansion, the other big mechanism driving coverage, the limitations are

clearer and perhaps more consequential.

The 2012 Supreme Court decision that upheld the law’s individual coverage requirement also gave states the choice to decline expanding Medicaid.

Across the South, Republican-led states have turned down the Medicaid option, leaving millions uninsured.

Many are trapped in what’s called the “Medicaid gap.” They cannot get health insurance through HealthCare.gov because the law prevents people below the poverty line from using the insurance exchanges. So the private insurance alternative

is closed to them, even as their states refuse to expand public coverage.

Among them is John Davis of Port Charlotte, Florida, a 49-year-old construction worker unemployed because of health problems. A doctor at a free clinic is monitoring a suspicious spot on his lungs.

“They won’t biopsy it.

Nobody will touch it, because I don’t have insurance,” Davis said. “I feel like I’m walking around with a time bomb on my back, and I can’t see the timer.”

Reading the signs, the Obama administration has set a modest sign-up target of about 10 million private insurance customers enrolled and paying their premiums by the end of 2016. Most would be consumers renewing from this year, but one-third or more are expected to be new customers previously uninsured.

Part of the challenge for the administration is that the market for individual health insurance policies is volatile. People drop coverage as their circumstances change, for example landing a job that comes with health insurance.

Partly because it can be so hard to hang on to customers, the administration and the states have focused on making their websites more consumer friendly this year. Consumers have until Jan. 31 to sign up for coverage. If they want their coverage to start at the first of the year, they need to apply by Dec. 15.

Experts to Illinoisans: You have options CHICAGO (AP) – Illinois residents who don’t get health coverage through their jobs are being advised to shop around ahead of another chance to sign up for insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care law. A third enrollment season kicked off Sunday.

Chicago is one of five markets the Obama administration plans to target as it tries to reach a goal of about 10 million private insurance customers enrolled and paying premiums nationally by the end of 2016.

canceled at the end of 2015. They will be automatically assigned to a new policy if they do nothing. But insurance experts recommend studying the options, especially if consumers want to make sure their favorite doctors and specific medications are covered.

“We will work closely with these members and their providers to minimize the impact of this change to their ongoing care, particularly if they need to transfer their care to other providers,” said Michael Deering, a Blue Cross Blue Shield spokesman.

Other Illinoisans might want to switch plans to save money.

MOVING?

Health plans are rated in tiers – bronze, silver, gold – by how much costs they cover. Last year, returning consumers who switched plans within the same tier saved an average of nearly $400, after tax credits, compared to those who stayed in their same plans, according to a federal government analysis.

It’s also important for consumers to update their income figures to

get the right amount of financial help. Consumers must pay back any subsidy that was too high when they pay their taxes.

The enrollment period applies only to people buying private health insurance. Those with lower incomes who qualify for public insurance through Medicaid can sign up throughout the year. Medicare, for people 65 and older, has a different sign-up period.

ELECTION 2016 | GOP RACE

AP

Republican Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, speaks Saturday at the Iowa GOP’s Growth and Opportunity Party at the Iowa state fair grounds in Des Moines.

Cruz hopes to build on debate showing Ultra-conservative stumped Saturday in Iowa, in advance of Feb. 1 caucus DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – For months, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has flown under the radar in the Republican presidential race, an unusual position for a politician who has been in the spotlight since arriving in Washington nearly 3 years ago.

Now, Cruz is trying to ride a standout performance in last week’s GOP debate into new momentum for his campaign. He’s casting himself as the conservative the party’s right flank has been waiting for – someone who’s both uncompromising and electable.

“How about this time we nominate as Republicans a candidate as committed to conservative principles as Barack Obama is to liberal principles?” Cruz said Saturday during a Republican forum in Des Moines.

Cruz ended the last fundraising period with more campaign cash on hand than any other candidate. He has a well-funded super political action committee that has been spending money to on television advertising. His fights with Republican lead-

ers in Washington have made him a well-known figure among conservatives frustrated with the party establishment.

The debate provided Cruz with the kind of breakout moment that could jumpstart his White House bid. He slammed the CNBC debate moderators for asking questions in a way that he said “illustrate why the American people don’t trust the media” and challenged them to ask “about the substantive issues people care about.”

On Saturday, Cruz stepped up his critique of the debate moderators. He was cheered enthusiastically by the 2,000-person crowd when he called for future debates to be moderated by conservatives such as radio host Rush Limbaugh.

“He’s honest,” said Pam Malone, a 64-yearold Republican from Des Moines. “If he says it’s something he’s going to do, he does it.”

With the Feb. 1 Iowa caucuses approaching, Cruz aides say they see an opportunity to form a coalition of tea party supporters, evangelicals and libertarians. Cruz is a tea party favorite, and aides say he is having some success drawing libertarians unimpressed by Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

WASHINGTON – This is a story about steak and bacon, cancer and ethanol, and expectations.

Meat-eaters (most of America, except for the health-conscious Obamas and obsessively thin, rich women) got another body blow when the World Health Organization warned this week that processed meats (our adored bacon and hot dogs) cause cancer and that red meat (our beloved steak) probably does.

This is not new, but when your newspaper and TV are screaming, “Your food is poisoning you,” you notice. It’s not just another “Partisan divide in Washington blocks progress” headline.

Nonetheless, there are other factors at play here.

According to globalmeatnews.com (who knew?), America’s red meat consumption is declining.

Health consciousness (the American Red Cross has been casting aspersions on red and processed meats for years) and rising prices are two major reasons.

But at the same time, there’s worry in high places that the growing demand for red meat in huge parts of the world, notably by the newly affluent among China’s 1.35 billion people, will cause a lot of trouble.

Beef cattle use a lot of land and emit a lot of carbon dioxide, which contributes to the greenhouse effect, thus changing climates. Cattle eat a lot of feed, which takes up a lot of acreage. And that takes away food from people just trying to avoid starvation.

When there are more than 7 billion people to feed, the idea of everybody getting steak and potatoes is not feasible. To many, the idea of Americans eating their fill of steak, hot dogs, pot roast and bacon seems unfair. Let alone inhumane animal treatment.

THUS, 22 SCIENTISTS at WHO examined more than 800 scientific studies about meat and cancer.

They concluded cooked red meat – including hamburger, pork chops, lamb, etc., and processed meats – cause cancer of the stomach, colon, prostate and possibly other organs just as smoking, alcohol, diesel-engine exhaust, and asbestos do.

The comfort food in the report is that meat does not cause the same magnitude of cancer as the other carcinogens do.

Eating meat may be risky; wallowing in asbestos is stupid.

WHO obviously is hoping humans cut down their meat consumption until

a future when everybody consumes pills or globules that will constitute dinner.

But in the United States, something else is at play.

A recent coast-to-coast car trip across the U.S. convinced me there is a lot of corn here. There is so much corn that the government subsidizes farmers when prices are low because of too much corn and when prices are high because of weather-damaged crops.

AND THAT BRINGS US to ethanol, the introduction of corn into gasoline.

The ethanol lobby is ferociously strong in America because it has convinced people that using excess corn will eventually get us off foreign oil imports.

Ethanol in gasoline and diesel fuel for 270 million U.S. motor vehicles is mandated in the Renewable Fuel Standard Congress passed with levels set each year by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Renewable fuels reduce emissions that contribute to climate change. Everybody’s happy, right?

Of course not. This is America.

Unfortunately, making ethanol uses a lot of energy and bushels of corn that could feed hungry people. (Getting it to them, of course, is the problem.) Ranchers (who want cheap feed), the huge oil and gas lobby, fast food providers (diversion of corn to gasoline raises hamburger prices), boat people (ethanol can damage some vessels.) and other assorted folks are trying to scuttle the RFS. Bottom line?

We live in a country where powerful, often unseen interests shape our food supply.

The cost of meat is going up.

Moderation in everything. If you eat a lot of red meat and bacon, friends will notice and you will feel guilty.

But you knew that.

Man’s drunken behavior trashes friendship Dear Abby, I have been friends with “Janet” for 8 years.

We have been very close, talk often, and go to lunch three times a month. We are like two peas in a pod and have always been honest with each other. Our relationship is open and aboveboard.

On a recent holiday, I went to her house for a party, got drunk and made an inappropriate comment to one of her friends, who had also had too much to drink. Janet called me out in front of the others, demanded I apologize, told me that what I had said was disrespectful, and said she doesn’t want to see me again.

Abby, she tossed out an

ed, but also Janet and the other guests at the party.

She might have reacted the way she did because you have done similar things in the past. You will have a clearer understanding if you talk to her about it when you call to apologize.

– Stupid Guy Out West Dear Guy, Not knowing what you said, I can only guess it was so far off the charts that you offended not only the person to whom the comment was direct-

Dear Abby.

What can I do about my boss? I have worked at a bus company for 23 years. My new boss started 6 months ago.

He jokes and laughs with all the other ladies in the office, but when it comes to me, he’s all business. He talks to me only about things that are work-related, and when I try to talk to him about anything else, he gives me a forced grin

and walks away. Any suggestions?

– Feeling Left Out Dear Feeling, Your new boss might be intimidated because of your seniority and experience. It might also be because of your age. I am unsure of his reason for treating you differently, but your next move should be to have a talk with your boss to express your feelings about this.

Dear Abby, Would you like to know how my mom reduced the stress of Thanksgiving on our family? My siblings all live locally, so holidays became more and more complicated as they tried to plan around both sides of the family

and start family traditions of their own with their kids.

Mom solved the problem by moving our Thanksgiving celebration to the Sunday before. That way we had Saturday to prepare, didn’t have kids asking all morning when we were going to eat and didn’t have to compete with a football game.

Mom put the turkey in the oven on Sunday morning before we went to church, and an hour after we got home, it was ready to eat.

My folks and single siblings let people know they were available on Thanksgiving Day and were invited to the homes of other family or friends. As Mom

grew older, the gathering became a potluck and other relatives were invited, including the in-laws who were not available on Thursday.

– Carrying on the Tradition Dear Carrying on, You mention your mother in the past tense, so I assume that she is no longer with us. If she were, I would ask you to please tell her for me that her solution was brilliant.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Abbe d’Allainval said, “The more alternatives, the more difficult the choice.”

At the bridge table, the more alternative lines of play you have, often the more difficult your decision. However, some always go with the first option that they see, which happened when this deal was originally played. South was in four spades. West led the diamond ace and continued with the diamond king. After ruffing, what should declarer have done?

South’s heart loser was going to disappear on dummy’s fourth club, but trumps had to be drawn first. The original declarer immediately led the spade king from his hand, but West defended perfectly by ducking. He saw that if he won and led another diamond, de-

clarer would ruff in the dummy.

Instead, when South continued with a low trump at trick four, West stepped in with his jack and played a diamond.

Declarer ruffed, but now both West and South had two

spades left. Declarer led another trump, hoping West was out of diamonds, but no luck.

South had to go down one, losing one diamond and three spades.

Declarer should have been happy to concede two trump tricks. At trick three, he should have led a low spade toward dummy’s nine. If West won that trick and led a diamond, South would have ruffed in the dummy, crossed to his hand with a club, and played the spade king. He would have ruffed the next diamond, drawn trumps, and claimed.

Or, if West ducked at trick four, declarer could have played a trump to his king, ruffed the next diamond, cashed the spade queen, and turned to clubs. When the defenders wish to tap your hand, try to keep a trump in dummy with which to ruff. © 2015 UFS

CENTRAL ILLINOIS

Man called hero for pulling people from van When he returned home, he found his town house had caught fire, killing his cat SAVOY (AP) – A Naperville man is being called a hero after helping several members of a family escape from their van after it rolled over and landed upside-down in a pond.

Mike Roberson, 40, told The News-Gazette that he was driving north on Interstate 57 on Wednesday night, heading home from a family funeral, when he saw the van fishtail and swerve off the expressway and roll just south of Champaign.

“I slowed down to see if it would come to a regular stop, and it started rolling,” he told The News-Gazette. His next

thought was, “I hope they make it,” he said.

Authorities say the burly truck driver’s quick thinking amid the chaos helped.

Roberson scrambled to the van and began helping some of the nine people inside get out.

He could hear screaming as he pulled children out first.

At one point, he made eye contact with the driver.

“She had that look: Save my kids,” said Roberson, who added: “My thing was ‘Just get them out.’ I didn’t care if they had broken bones. They were cold, soaked. I’m just going to

get them out of here.”

Roberson, who lost his cellphone in the pond, then went back to the roadway to flag down help. A motorist called 911 and state police responded quickly, Roberson said.

Police say one passenger, 43-year-old Murtuza Rajkotwala of Willowbrook in the Chicago suburbs, died. His wife, 45-year-old Farida Rajkotwala, is hospitalized.

Others weren’t seriously injured.

Roberson kept them warm in his pickup truck as authorities continued to work on the wreckage.

Dale Grimm is fire chief in

nearby Tolono. He said Roberson is “definitely a hero.”

But when Roberson returned home to Naperville, he had to face some bad news: his town house caught fire while he was gone, killing his family cat and destroying many of his possessions.

Now Roberson and his fiancée are staying with family as they prepare to find a new place to live.

Roberson said the enormity of what he’s been through in the past several days has not entirely sunk in.

“After the storm calms, I just want to sleep for about a week,” he said.

‘‘

EGYPT

Official: Russian jet broke up at high altitude Crash kills all 224 on board SHARM EL-SHEIKH, Egypt (AP) – The Russian jetliner that crashed shortly after takeoff from an Egyptian resort city broke up at high altitude, scattering fragments of wreckage over a wide area in the Sinai Peninsula, Russia’s top aviation official said Sunday as search teams raced to recover the bodies of the 224 people who died.

Meanwhile in Russia, an outpouring of grief gripped the historic city of St. Petersburg, home of many of the victims.

President Vladimir Putin declared a nationwide day of mourning, and flags flew at half-staff.

Aviation experts joined the searchers in a remote part of the Sinai, seeking any clues to what caused the Metrojet Airbus A321200 to plummet abruptly from 31,000 feet just 23 minutes after it departed from the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh bound for St. Petersburg.

Aviation experts and the search teams were combing an area of more than 6 square miles to find bodies and pieces of the jet.

By midday, 163 bodies had been recovered, according to the Egyptian

government. Some of the dead were expected to be flown to Russia later Sunday.

In St. Petersburg, hundreds of mourners brought flowers, pictures of the victims, stuffed animals and paper planes to the city’s airport. Others went to churches and lit candles in memory of the dead.

Elena Vikhareva had no relatives aboard the flight, but she went with her son to lay flowers, saying that pain was “piercing” her heart.

Vladimir Povarov and a friend did the same, explaining that they couldn’t “remain indifferent.”

COLORADO

The large area over which fragments were found indicates the jet disintegrated while flying high, said Alexander Neradko, head of Russia’s federal aviation agency.

He would not comment on any possible reason for the crash, citing the ongoing investigation.

Neradko was in Egypt to inspect the crash site along with Russia’s emergency and transport ministers.

Transport Minister Maxim Sokolov thanked Egyptian authorities for their help and said work on analyzing the data and cockpit voice recorders had not yet begun.

AP

Russian investigators stand near debris, luggage and personal items of passengers Sunday, a day after a passenger jet bound for St. Petersburg in Russia crashed in Hassana, Egypt. The Metrojet plane crashed 23 minutes after it took off from Egypt’s Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, killing all 224 people on board.

Asian leaders agree to mend strained ties at rare summit

Christian Murdock/The Colorado Springs Gazette via AP

The rear window of a Colorado Springs Police car is shattered after a shooting Saturday in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Four people are dead, including a suspected gunman, following a shooting spree according to authorities. Lt. Catherine Buckley said the crime scene covers several major downtown streets.

Witnesses describe gunman’s rampage in Colorado Springs Man marched down city street, shot 3 people to death COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) – Witnesses have described a terrifying scene on the streets of Colorado Springs, where a gunman armed with a rifle marched down a city street and shot and killed three people before being fatally shot in a gunbattle with police.

Authorities have released few details about Saturday afternoon’s shooting in broad daylight. The suspect and victims had not been identified by Sunday evening, and police are looking for a motive.

Betty Barker told KOAATV News5 she saw the gunman approach a young man on a bike and shoot him several times.

Several people in the neighborhood said they

were horrified to see the man’s body, lying face down, still on his bike, still wearing his backpack.

Matt Abshire, 21, told the Colorado Springs Gazette he looked outside his apartment window and saw a man shoot someone with a rifle.

Abshire said after the first shooting, he ran to the street and followed the man and called police.

The man suddenly turned and fired more shots, hitting two women, Abshire said.

Abshire told The Gazette he rushed to help, but that one of the victims was already dead, shot in the chest. The other woman was shot in the face. Police confirmed Saturday afternoon that

both were killed.

Abshire said the man kept walking, carrying the rifle.

Police say they spotted the gunman several blocks away, where a shootout erupted. Photos show a window in the back of a police car that had been shattered by gunfire. Police on Sunday asked residents to help them look for damage to homes and property that might provide more evidence.

Alisha Jaynes told KKTVTV 11 News she was at an ATM when she saw a man with a gun walking calmly down the street.

“They yelled, ‘Put the gun down,’ and he turned around, and that’s when they shot at him a good 20 times,” she said. “There was a lot of gunfire.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – The biggest result of the first meeting of South Korean, Chinese and Japanese leaders in more than 3 years? More meetings.

But for three Northeast Asian economic and diplomatic heavyweights who spend a huge amount of time bickering over history and territory, the agreement for more dialogue at Sunday’s rare summit was a significant step forward. The long-running spat between Seoul and Tokyo, crucial U.S. allies, has been especially worrying for Washington as it looks to counter China’s rise and North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear bombs.

High-level contact between Tokyo and its

Seymour-Memreez

two Asian neighbors nose-dived after hawkish Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe took office in late 2012. Beijing and Seoul see Abe as whitewashing Japan’s wartime atrocities.

A joint statement issued after the meeting said the sides agreed to try to resolve history-related issues and improve ties by “facing history squarely and advancing toward the future.”

The countries also pledged to hold a leaders’ summit every year and push to deepen their economic cooperation by accelerating free trade negotiations among themselves. They also reaffirmed a resolve to resume stalled international negotiations on

North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye said at a joint news conference with Abe and Chinese Premier Li Keqiang that the resumption of cooperation among the countries was “historically important.”

“I think we took a big step toward peace and prosperity in Northeast Asia,” Park said.

The leaders did not take questions at the news conference.

Starting his speech with a friendly “Hello” in Korean, Abe said he exchanged opinions on how to achieve regional prosperity with Park and Li in a “considerably candid manner.” He said Japan would host a leaders’ summit next year.

BOYS CROSS COUNTRY | 1A OREGON SECTIONAL

Hamblen wins sectional, Williams third for RF OREGON – With defending champion Rockford Christian bumped up to Class 2A because of the IHSA success factor, Saturday’s 1A cross country sectional at Oregon Park West took on a new meaning.

Not only would there be a new team champ, but Brayden Hamblen and Seth Williams of Rock Falls wouldn’t have individual champ Nick Monkemeyer to chase after.

The Rocket pair finished third and fourth last year behind Monkemeyer and graduated Al Baldanado of Hall. This year, it was a sectional title for Hamblen and a third-place finish for Williams, with Matt Stelmasek of team champion Johnsburg sandwiched between them.

“It’s an honor to be the sectional champ, but this isn’t the goal,” Hamblen said. “I played it conservative. A couple of times, I almost went down.”

The Rockets needed every ounce of effort by their two stars, as they also snuck in as a team for the fifth and final state berth, edging Winnebago 191-192. The meet was contested in sloppy running conditions with heavy winds and rain, the type where real mudders are needed.

“We have our two horses to carry us. If there was any year to make it, it was this,” said Rock Falls coach Mark Truesdell, referring to Rock-

ROCKETS CONTINUED ON B3

WOODSTOCK – Emricson Park turned into a virtual 3-mile Slip ’N Slide on Saturday morning for the boys Class 2A Woodstock North Cross Country Sectional, thanks to a relentless batch of rain.

That was just fine with Dewey Landis.

The Sterling junior embraced the brutal conditions and finished eighth in a field of 140 runners. That earned him a berth in the state meet for the third consecutive year.

Landis will be joined at Peoria’s Detweiller Park next weekend by teammate Jacob Gebhardt, the only two area state qualifiers.

The theme for the day on a saturated course was spills, thrills and chills, as a steady rain and temperatures in the mid-40s made speeding around the park difficult at best, and hazardous at worst. For Landis, however, the track was just fine.

“Growing up on a farm, I have experience with mud,” Landis said, “and it wasn’t hard at all for me to just pass by people. Even though it was a muddy hill, I just flew down it.

Vikings’ big plays sink Bears

Duchess faster, not fast enough

Bridgewater rallies Minnesota in final minutes in Chicago

BY JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO – It was right there for Antrel Rolle, and it turned into a big reception for Charles Johnson.

Jeremy Langford dropped a catchable ball on third down.

Sherrick McManis slid to the turf as Stefon Diggs ran off toward the end zone.

When the Chicago Bears needed a big play in the fourth quarter, the Minnesota Vikings stepped up instead.

Jay Cutler threw a touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery and ran for a score, but Teddy Bridgewater led the Vikings to 10 points in the final 2 minutes of a 23-20 victory on Sunday.

“I wouldn’t say we have to learn how to win. We’ve got to learn how to finish,” Bears linebacker Pernell AP McPhee said. “Winning Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (5) keeps the comes up with competing, ball from Bears free safety Adrian Amos (38) during the winning comes with finishfirst half Sunday in Chicago.

Goral tops rivals, but still misses out on state berth

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

WOODSTOCK – Dixon freshman Kira Goral exacted a bit of revenge on Saturday at the Class 2A Woodstock North Cross Country Sectional, but it merely left her wanting more.

She crossed the finish line ahead of two of her main rivals, Sterling’s Maggie McPherson and DeKalb’s Christina Ryshov, but her time was not fast enough for the ultimate goal – a berth in the state meet. Goral’s time of 19 minutes, 10 seconds left her in 21st place among 141 runners.

The final individual qualifying time was 18:49, posted by 12th-place finisher Abigail Jones of Woodstock Marian. The top five teams and seven runners not on those squads punch their tickets to state.

Goral was the top local runner. For the first time this season, she finished ahead of McPherson, who was 24th in 19:11, and Ryshov, 25th in 19:15. Ryshov won an IESA cross country title last fall, while Goral was the runner-up.

Then, under the Bulls’ basket after a Magic rebound, Butler came up with another takeaway to seal it.

‘Rock star’ wins after wreck Victory at Virginia gives Gordon shot at one last title

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – As the adoring crowd lingered in the darkness at Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon took a moment to soak it in.

In a 23-year career that is one long highlight reel, his victory Sunday overwhelmed the NASCAR great. He had just earned a spot in the championship race, a chance to race for an elusive fifth title. It was, in his mind, “one of my finest moments I’ve ever had.”

So Gordon, who at 44 years old celebrated his ninth Martinsville win by jumping along the track like a little boy on Christmas morning, climbed into the grandstands to share the emotion of the victory with the fans.

“I don’t know what it feels like to be a rock star, but that’s as close as it can get,” Gordon said. “That’s a rock star moment right there.”

He has Matt Kenseth to thank for this storybook ending to his career.

Kenseth intentionally wrecked Joey Logano – payback from an incident three races ago – to take the race leader out with 47 laps remaining. Logano had the dominant car, and Kenseth, who was in an earlier wreck with Brad Keselowski, came back on the track 10 laps down and drove Logano into the wall.

Logano had led 207 of the 500

laps and was furious. His father, Tom, had to be pushed into the team hauler by the crew chief as the crowd cheered wildly in support of Kenseth.

Logano felt Kenseth’s move was dirty.

“I think what happened at Kansas is a completely different deal. We were racing for the win and he blocks you a few times and then we raced hard and he blocked me the last time and we spun out,” Logano said. “Here it was just a complete coward move, especially for a championship race car driver and race team. Just a complete coward. I don’t have anything else to say.

It’s a chicken-you-know-what move to completely take out the

leader when your race is over.”

Denny Hamlin, who last week accused Kevin Harvick of deliberately causing an accident to preserve his spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field, said the level of aggression is out of hand. He’s teammates with Kenseth, and both were eliminated from title contention last week.

“It’s a no-holds-barred, wild, wild West,” Hamlin said. “The structure which we have around us is not very strong as far as an authority figure saying, ‘No, you cannot do that anymore.’

“I love [NASCAR chariman] Brian France, but when he says that drivers are ‘doing what they have to do,’ it seems like he’s promoting this type of racing. That’s tough to crown a true champion when things go like this.”

Kenseth downplayed the incident, deadpanning it was a result of an earlier incident with Keselowski, who had led 143 laps as the two Team Penske teammates were the class of the field.

Gordon understood Kenseth’s frustration, and didn’t mind that he knocked the two best cars from the race and cleared the path for him to get to a pivotal victory lane.

“That was clutch. That was huge,” he said. “Yeah, we had a few things that fell in our favor.

But you’ve got to be there and be ready for that moment when it comes, and we were.”

Lack of execution late does in Bears BEARS

CONTINUED FROM B1

Cutler’s 4-yard touchdown run lifted Chicago to a 20-13 lead with 4:55 left. The quarterback scrambled to his right and slammed into Vikings safety Harrison Smith at the goal line before falling into the end zone for his first rushing TD of the year.

But that was the last score for the Bears (2-5), and Bridgewater was just getting started.

On third-and-4 from the Chicago 40 on the ensuing drive, Diggs grabbed a short pass from Bridgewater and spun away from McManis on his way to his second touchdown reception in as many weeks. The rookie finished with six receptions for 95 yards.

The Bears then went three-andout to hand the ball back to the Vikings with a minute left. Cutler was a little behind when he tried to pass to an open Langford on third down, but the ball went off the running back’s hands.

“That’s on me,” said Langford, who replaced Matt Forte after he left with a right knee injury. “I got to do a better job of catching the ball first before trying to run.”

It was still a tie game at that point, but the Vikings (5-2) put together a four-play, 48-yard drive to set up Blair Walsh’s 36-yard field goal as time expired.

The big play was a 35-yard reception for Johnson, who made a

“I don’t know if Rolle saw him,” Bears coach John Fox said. “He was a guy that was outside and kind of bent in, and came under and made a heck of a play on the ball. That’s how you win games.”

It was reminiscent of Chicago’s previous game, a 37-34 overtime loss at Detroit on Oct. 18. The Bears led that one 31-24 in the fourth quarter, only to have the Lions come back for the victory.

“Seems like we get into a lot of these games and are not coming off on the winning side enough,” Cutler said.

Marcus Sherels had a 65-yard punt return for a touchdown for Minnesota, which had dropped seven in a row at Soldier Field.

Bridgewater was 7-for-10 for 114 yards in the final period.

“We kept swinging the entire game,” said Peterson, who has rushed for 1,499 yards in 13 career games against the Bears.

“We fought back, scratched back.

We fight no matter if we’re down 10, 15, 20 – guys continue to fight.”

Cutler was 22 of 33 for 211 yards.

He made a perfect throw to Jeffery in the corner of the end zone for a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter, moving him into a tie with Sid Luckman for the top spot on the franchise list with 137 TD passes with the Bears.

Jeffery finished with 10 receptions for 116 yards, and Robbie Gould kicked two field goals, including a 55-yarder.

“We have to find some better ways to execute as players and find ways in the fourth quarter to close out games like this, because we aren’t far away,” Cutler said.

“We aren’t far away at all.”

ROUNDUP

Friends pick each other up Mullen named Grady, McKenna will make return trip to state together

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

OREGON – In both 2013 and 2014, Amboy’s Megan Grady finished in sixth place at the 1A sectional. On Saturday, Grady made it trip No. 3 downstate with a 10th-place finish (20:34) in absolutely miserable conditions at the Oregon Park West course.

Joining her is good friend Teagan McKenna of Sterling Newman, who is headed to Peoria for the second year in a row with a 13th-place and time of 20:49.

It was McKenna helping Grady to her feet after Grady collapsed at the finish line.

“I keeled over at the end and Teagan picked me,” Grady said. “She could have left me there.”

“I was glad to help her up. We’re all in this together,” McKenna said.

After sloshing through standing water on several areas of the course and enduring heavy winds and rain, girls stumbled into the finish line and had difficulty making it through the chute.

“I’ve never seen it this bad,” McKenna said. “After the first puddle, your shoes got a little heavier.”

The cold chilled Grady’s legs to the core, causing her to get numb and struggle to keep up with the leaders.

“I’ve been in rain, but not this bad,” she said, while drying off under cover in Amboy’s tent. “I was trying to jump over the water and go around it, but you couldn’t.

Nobody could.”

Grady and McKenna knew if they stayed within the top 15 runners, they would likely make the cut for state.

“I didn’t have a strategy, other than stay toward the top,” McKenna said, who looked quite refreshed shortly after the race.

“I knew all I needed was top 10,” Grady said. “I’m very excited to

Bureau Valley’s Haley Weidner went downstate with Grady and McKenna last year, but finished three spots away from qualifying.

Her time of 21:26 was good for 19th.

“Even though it was the worst weather I ran in, I don’t think it was a factor. Everyone had to run in it,” Weidner said. “What hurt me was missing time for a foot injury.”

Erin Hosto of Amboy also came close, but missed out on state qualification with a 22nd-place finish and 21:35 clocking.

As expected, Annawan-Wethersfield, with the top two individual finishers, won the team title with 63 points, less than half of second-place Seneca. Locally, Amboy took seventh with 216 points, and Newman was 10th with 247 points. The fifth and final team spot was taken by perennial power Winnebago with 170.

Conditions prove costly to local runners DUCHESS

CONTINUED FROM B1

“I was planning to beat a couple of girls who I’ve been wanting to beat this year because they’re really good,” Goral said. “I beat them today, and I’m really pleased by that, but I’m really disappointed I didn’t qualify because I was really looking forward to going to state this year.”

A steady downpour turned the 3-mile Emricson Park Course into a treacherous ordeal for a good chunk of the runners, but Goral was one of lucky ones to get through without taking a tumble.

“My time was OK for the conditions,” Goral said.

“It was really muddy, rainy and cold, and slippery, too. My place was OK, I guess.”

The Duchesses were 10th as a team. Backing up Goral were Mekenzie Harden (52nd, 20:07),

Leah Drengenberg (55th, 20:10), Katie Lawton (66th, 20:23) and Hallie Nelson (85th, 20:40).

There isn’t a senior in that bunch, and the Duchesses will receive a boost from members of a Reagan Middle School team that won an IESA team title 2 weeks ago.

“I think we’ll have a really

good chance to make it to state the next couple of years,” Goral said.

Sterling’s McPherson had established herself as the area’s top female runner over the course of the season, but she struggled with the conditions and a course that had some harrowing hairpin turns.

“You had to get out really

fast,” McPherson said, “and if you got caught behind people, there were tons of sharp turns and uphills, and it was so slick.

Going downhill, it was pure mud sometimes, and you had to slow down. It was the same for everybody, though.”

The Golden Warriors were 14th among 18 teams with 343 points. Counting toward the team score were McPherson, Megan Barnhart (36th, 19:45), Shayla Moorman (84th, 20:40), Carly Hansen (116th, 21:47) and Maegan McCue (120th, 21:58).

Vernon Hills (79), Belvidere North (85), Crystal Lake Central (116), Grayslake Central (170) and Kaneland (189) were the team qualifiers for state, which will be held Saturday at Detweiller Park in Peoria. Boylan’s Delaney Appino won the sectional in 17:41, 5 seconds ahead of Belvidere North’s Jenna Lutzow.

CONTINUED FROM B1

“People were scared to go,” Landis added, “but for me, it was the best race I could actually have.”

Landis finished with a time of 15 minutes, 58 seconds, good for eighth place. The top five teams and seven individuals not on those teams moved on to state.

Landis has big plans for next week.

He wants a spot in the top 10, after placing 19th as a sophomore (15:01) and 30th as a freshman (15:30).

“It will be a push,” Landis said, “but there’s nothing like a challenge.”

Gebhardt was keeping pace with Landis until about midway through the race when he took a spill. He gathered himself, and was able to cross the finish line in 16:19, good for 13th place. He was the sixth of seven individual qualifiers.

“Luckily I was able to keep going,” Gebhardt said. “It felt like we were running on ice sometimes, just because it was so muddy and torn up.”

Looking ahead to next week, the magic number for Gebhardt is 15:01 – Landis’ time at state a year ago.

Dixon’s Collin Grady nears the finish line Saturday during the 2A Woodstock North Sectional.

“We’re both really competitive,” Gebhardt said. “I want to go sub-15 and beat his time from last year.”

Sterling was 13th as a team with 299 points. Counting toward that total were Landis, Gebhardt, Jalen Hart (97th, 17:51), Cody Lund

(100th, 17:55) and Mikio Martinez (111th, 18:13).

The top Dixon runner was freshman Collin Grady, who placed 24th with a time of 16:38. He was 17 seconds behind the seventh and final individual state qualifier, Hampshire’s Jacob Oury.

Grady had more than his share of difficulties on the course, as he fell five times and was spiked by other runners another five times.

“That was definitely the hardest race of the year,” Grady said. “I went down a few times and tried to get back up. It didn’t work out too well.”

Dixon was 10th as a team with 275 points. Counting toward the Dukes’ total were Grady, Jonah Fulton (42nd, 17:04), Blain Masterson (70th, 17:29), Andrew Lohse (76th, 17:35) and Luke Wedekind (83rd, 17:39).

Those five five runners will all be back next season. Also returning is the sixth-place finisher, Sean Masterson, and that group will be bolstered by a freshman class that won the IESA state championship 2 weeks ago.

“I’m pretty excited, because I know we’ve got some guys coming up,” Grady said. “We’re only going to get better, so it’s only up from here.”

Led by Kerry Mullen’s MVP performance, the Sterling swim team placed second Saturday at the Northern Illinois Independent Conference meet in Byron.

Mullen won the 50-meter freestyle (25.88 seconds) and the 100 freestyle (56.91), and Kallie Zuidema added a victory in the 1-meter diving competition (368.90 points).

The quartet of Sarah Page, Avery Edwards, Sami Royer and Mullen had runner-up finishes in the 200 freestyle relay (1:53.86) and 400 freestyle relay (4:10.13) as Sterling scored 208 points to finish behind only IMSA (284 points).

Byron placed fourth with 189 points. Michaela Spanbauer had the Tigers’ best finish, taking second in the 1-meter diving (323.20 points), and Gretchen Bushman added third-place finishes in the 200 IM (2:26.78) and the 100 breaststroke (1:18.16). Bushman joined Natalie Carlson, Kaylee Rice and Kylie Shaw for a third in the 400 free relay (4:17.39).

Morrison was sixth with 126 points. Nicole Hess was fourth in the 200 freestyle (2:19.76), and teamed with Mackenzie Ryder, Tessa Vanderbleek and Brooke Bennett to finish fourth in the 400 freestyle relay (4:40.33). Ryder and Bennett also teamed with Madison Steines and Emily Wallander to take fourth in the 200 freestyle relay (2:02.42).

Newman was seventh (18 points). Elise Pasley placed seventh in the 50 freestyle (29.15) and the 100 freestyle (1:05.11).

It will be the third straight trip for to Hamblen and Williams to the IHSA state meet.

With the Oregon sectional serving as what Hamblen called a “tuneup”, both runners know that the real test will come next week in the form of Jon Davis of Fithian Oakwood, a 1A phenom who won the 2014 state title by 42 seconds and may be the top runner in the entire state, regardless of class.

“He’s an extremely talented runner, and I plan to keep him in my sights,’” said Williams, a two-time all-stater. “I know 14:30 is in me. I haven’t run my best race yet. It will be exciting to go against him.”

Newman punched its ticket to Peoria with a second-place team finish.

Johnsburg had 95 points, and the Comets had 127.

“The kids ran well.

I can’t ask for more,” Newman coach Pat Warkins said. “Chris [Ahlers] was out there and the others were within 30 or 40 seconds.”

Ahlers was ninth with a time of 17:23. Following him were Ethan Nash, Brady Osborne, and freshmen Spencer Mauch and Shay Hafner.

Amboy’s Romeo Blackburn runs through a puddle on the course during the 1A Oregon Sectional on Saturday.

Blackburn qualified for the state meet.

“I wasn’t exactly sure how the two freshmen would do, but everyone pretty well ran in order,” Warkins said.

Amboy got a huge effort from senior Romeo Blackburn, who will be heading downstate for the first time after an eighth-place finish with a time of 17:20.

Broncos beat up on Packers Manning, Denver defense dominate battle of unbeatens

BY ARNIE STAPLETON AP Pro Football Writer

DENVER – The Denver Broncos found some offense to go with all that defense, powering their way past the Green Bay Packers 29-10 on Sunday.

In only the fourth meeting of teams 6-0 or better, Peyton Manning tied Brett Favre’s NFL record with his 186th regularseason win, and Denver’s defense rattled Aaron Rodgers into one of the worst games of his career.

Wearing the blue jerseys they wore in beating the Packers for their first Super Bowl win in 1997, the Broncos piled it on in the fourth quarter, when DeMarcus Ware sacked Rodgers and the ball ended up in the end zone for a safety.

The Broncos improved

to 7-0 for the first time since 1998, when they won the Super Bowl after finishing 14-2.

The Packers (6-1) fell from the unbeaten ranks, throttled not only by the league’s stingiest defense, but also by a quarterback who finally looked like a five-time MVP and not a creaky 39-year-old learning a new system.

Although neither quarterback threw for a touchdown, Manning threw for 340 yards on 21-of-29 passing. Rodgers was 14 of 22 for just 77 yards – the lowest of his career in a game where he wasn’t knocked out by injury.

Rodgers was sacked three times, and the Packers had just 140 yards of total offense to Denver’s 500.

The Royals’ Eric Hosmer (right) scores the tying run past Mets catcher Travis d’Arnaud during the ninth inning of Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday in New York. The Royals tied the game with a two-run rally in the 9th, then won it with a five-run 12th inning.

Royals rally their way to world title KC battles back late to beat Mets, win Series in 5 games

BY MIKE FITZPATRICK AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK – The Kansas City Royals won their first World Series crown since 1985, rallying in the ninth inning when Eric Hosmer scrambled home to tie it, and then breaking away in the 12th to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in Game 5 Sunday night.

The daring Royals capped their postseason full of comebacks with a dash for the ages, and made up for last year’s near-miss in a Game 7 loss to San Francisco.

After ripping an RBI double to break up Matt Harvey’s shutout, Hosmer’s alert sprint home from third base on a grounder finished off a two-run burst in the ninth against Harvey and closer Jeurys Familia.

Then in the 12th, pinchhitter Christian Colon delivered a tiebreaking single in his first appearance of this postseason.

Lorenzo Cain added a three-run double to put the game away.

Royals starter Edinson Volquez threw twohit ball for six innings.

He pitched a day after returning from his father’s funeral in the Dominican Republic.

The Royals became the first team since the 2002 Angels to come from behind in all four World Series wins, according to STATS. That’s how they washed away the bitter taste of last year’s October heartbreak that drove them to their singular focus all season.

Now, this group of homegrown favorites that turned around a floundering franchise, Mike Moustakas and Alex Gordon and Hosmer, can take their place in Royals history alongside George Brett, Willie Wilson, Bret Saberhagen and those champs from 30 years ago.
