Hare shares stories of colleague, ‘an extraordinary man’

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

Phil Hare met Lane Evans in 1976, when both were volunteers in support of the presidential run made by then-U.S. Sen. Fred Harris, an Oklahoma Democrat.

At the time, Hare didn’t really have political aspirations – he was a union steward working for the Seaford Clothing Factory in Rock Island, and his main concern was heavy job losses at the plant.

Malmstrom, who also was one of Evans’ legal guardians. He was 63.

L o w e l l Jacobs, vice chairman of WhiteLane side County Evans Democrats, knew Evans well while Jacobs was chairman of the local party headquarters.

“Lane always came to my house for political rallies, and as we both got more involved in party politics, we became very good friends,” Jacobs said.

Hare and Evans became fast friends, and their paths crossed again in 1980, during Sen. Edward Kennedy’s run for the White Phil House. Hare Hare ran as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention.

“I finished dead-last, and I told Lane that he should run for something, because I wasn’t having any luck with this,” Hare said. “I told him that if he did it, I would help him.”

WHITESIDE COUNTY

Pub reprimanded for violation Cochran’s owner: Misunderstanding of code led to transgression

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

MORRISON – Cochran’s Pub will be issued a letter of reprimand for violating Whiteside County’s liquor code, the county Liquor Commission decided at a meeting Thursday night.

It was a misunder-

standing of the code that led to a bartender permitting patrons to remain in the Whiteside County bar past 1 a.m.

Oct. 31, owner Dave Cochran said.

Because the Whiteside County code is different from the code in Sterling and Rock Falls, the

Betties prepare for home-rink debut Team’s first home match is Saturday

BY KATIE FINLON Shaw Media

DeKALB – Stuart Tilton is known as Artimus Pyledriver when he referees bouts for DeKalb’s roller derby team, the Barbed Wire Betties.

If there’s one stereotype he’d like to dispel about the women who skate around the track in helmets and knee pads with numbers inked on their arms, it’s that they’re all stay-at-home moms looking to keep busy.

“It’s just tired,” Tilton said. “Everybody says that.”

Members of the Betties range in age from 22 to 49.

Sierra Big John, who goes by the nickname Phoenix Enforce-Her says women from many professions and walks of life are on the team.

There are stay-at-home mothers, massage therapists, students and accountants.

“You name it, there’s a derby girl there,” Big John said. “Guaranteed.”

The Betties are preparing to host their first home bout against the DuPage Derby Dames Outrage at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Huntley Middle School, 1515 S. Fourth St., DeKalb. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Roller derby today is a bit different from what some people might remember from the “Roller Games” bouts that were shown on TV decades ago featuring teams like the L.A.

Monica Synett/Shaw Media

Thunderbirds.

The Betties and their opponents skate on a flat track, with five skaters to a side. Each team has four blockers and a jammer. The jammers score points by lapping the opposing team’s blockers.

The blockers’ job is self explanatory – they use their bodies to try to stop the jammer from passing them.

“It’s like football,” Tilton said. “You’ve got blockers, which are the linemen. And you’ve got the jammers, which are like the running back. And instead of having a ball, [the jammers have] got this cover on their head.

“And the object is to get out of the pack first and then come back. And when [the jammers] come back around, they can score points by passing the opponents. So that’s how the game is won – that’s how points are scored.”

The skaters go by colorful nicknames, with names such as Skeleton Keyes, Snowbeast, TsunAmy, Crack Her Jax and Wine-o-Holic.

So what’s the deal with everyone – including the referees – using an alias? Players say it’s tradition – and a coun-

ter-culture thing.

“It’s just a nod to oldschool, fistfight roller derby,” Big John said.

“You’re not the same person here as you are at home.”

Britt Halverson, also known as Val Cree, is an accountant by day and a derby girl by night.

She said the stay-athome mom stereotype for derby girls may exist because roller derby is very time-consuming.

Halverson said those responsibilities include fundraising and promoting bouts. Big John said the team also participates in community events and service, including the Sycamore Pumpkin Parade and Toys for Tots.

President pays credit to Evans EVANS

CONTINUED FROM A1

MCT

Then-retiring Congressman Lane Evans (left) is shown congratulating his successor and longtime friend, Phil Hare, on Nov. 8, 2006, in Rock Island.

‘Good guys can still finish first’ ALLIES

CONTINUED FROM A1

“We raised $80 at a lasagna dinner at my house, and the rest is history,” Hare said with a laugh.

It was the beginning of a 25-year political partnership and special friendship that would last a lifetime. Hare had been in manufacturing for 10 years, and Evans had to do some arm-twisting to completely sell his pal on political life.

“Instead of being a steward for 200 people, you can be a steward for 5,000,” Evans told Hare.

Still not convinced, Hare was concerned about not having a bachelor’s degree to bring into the political arena. Evans told him not to worry, because he was a C student. Hare initially misunderstood the sage advice.

“I heard that and thought, wait, I did better than that in school,” Hare said. “But he said, ‘No, I mean the three Cs – you have courage, commitment and compassion, so you’ll be fine.’”

So Hare quit his union job to join the Evans campaign against GOP incumbent Tom Railsback, in the new 17th Congressional District, realigned from the 19th after the 1980 census. Railsback was upset in the primary, and Evans then surprised state Sen. Kenneth McMillan in the general election to begin a 14-year legislative run in the district. Hare would be his right-hand man and best friend for the duration.

When Evans’ illness became too debilitating for political life, the relationship came full circle.

In November 2006, Evans announced his retirement, and once again twisted his friend’s arm.

“He fought the disease with everything he had, but when he couldn’t run, he told me I should run,” Hare said.

Hare served two terms before losing to Bobby Schilling in 2010. Hare said he thought about Evans often as he watched the events of this election cycle unfold.

“I look at the campaigns he used to run, and he would say ‘I’m running for office, here’s what I believe in, and I don’t have time to tear down my opponents,’” Hare said.

He called Evans an “extraordinary ordinary man” who earned respect on both sides of the aisle.

“When I first went to Washington, I would be asked who I was replacing, and so many people said ‘You can’t replace Lane,’” Hare said. “There was so much respect from both parties.”

Evans, a Marine during the Vietnam War, fought relentlessly for veterans issues. While championing legislation to help veterans who had been exposed to Agent Orange, he ran into fierce opposition from Sonny Montgomery, a veteran and conservative Democrat from Mississippi who wrote the GI Bill.

“That battle got pretty ugly, but when Lane was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, the first person to call him was Sonny Montgomery,” Hare said.

Evans had a great mind for politics and people.

In a room with 100 people, he always wanted to speak to each one of them before he left, Hare said.

“He was such a good man; I’m going to miss him a lot,” Hare said.

“He did so much for veterans and the working class, but I think his legacy is simply that good guys can still finish first.”

Jacobs will never forget the 2004 elections, when Barack Obama was making a run for U.S. Senate.

“The year he ran for the Senate seat, Obama and Evans came to my house to talk about area campaigning,” Jacobs said.

Jacobs said he had last spoken with his friend about a year ago. He said they reminisced about the good old days of politics, and some of the good times they had together.

He said Evans’ legacy transcends party lines.

“He will probably be remembered most for the things he did to help veterans and the working class,” Jacobs said.

“He was just a very good person who took everything to heart. I can’t say enough good things about him.”

After Americans officially entered a war against terrorism in 2003, Evans was a trailblazing champion for returning veterans.

“In the early days of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Lane was one of the first members of Congress to take on issues like PTSD and TBI,” said Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America CEO Paul Rieckhoff, referring to the acronym for traumatic brain injury. “He helped put our issues on the map.”

Bob Van De Velde, Whiteside County Board member, county Democratic precinct committeeman, and WWII veteran, said area veterans appreciated the legislator’s efforts on their behalf.

“He was a good man, and he did a lot of nice things for veterans,” Van De Velde said. “This is a great loss, because to me, he was a great American.”

CLINTON, IOWA

Target closure ‘sad news’ for community MCT News Service

CLINTON, Iowa – Clinton Target, at 2900 S. 25th St., will close on Jan. 31, 2015, according to employees of the local branch.

“Jan. 31 of 2015 will be our last day open here,” said manager Adam Wiszowaty. He was unable to say how many employees will be affected nor could he share any additional information at Monday. Wiszowaty

said a press release will be released by corporate today.

The 89,585-square-foot facility was built in 1994.

The news came as a shock to residents and local leaders as it circulated the city Monday afternoon. Nathan Sondgeroth, Clinton Area Chamber of Commerce president, believed the store was anticipating future success based on recent meetings with management.

There had been rumors that the store was going to close, he said, but nothing substantial.

“Now, unfortunately, it has been confirmed,” Sondgeroth said. “There was no indication that they were looking to close. We’re hoping it’s something that can be remedied.”

He said that the Chamber has reached out to Target corporation, “to see if there’s anything

ISLAMIC STATE

we can do.” Sondgeroth hopes there’s still time between now and the holiday season to “make sure they know everything Clinton has to offer.”

“From what I’ve heard, people are genuinely saddened that this is going to occur,” he said.

Employees heard the news from management Tuesday morning, according to Clinton resident Debbie Benson, who last worked for the

store in 2001. Her sister, who still works there, told Benson the news Monday morning. Through social media, Benson called the news “incredibly sad.”

“I worked at the old Target and helped open the new one,” Benson wrote.

“Clinton is losing one of its best stores.”

Customers at the store Monday also expressed disappointment. Lifelong Clinton resident Denise Saddoris said she hoped

Target could grow into, perhaps, a Super Target, offering a more robust grocery section.

“We don’t have many options here in Clinton,” said Saddoris.

“I can’t believe that it’s really happening,” she added. “One more empty store in Clinton. It’s really sad.”

Target corporate management was unable to be reached for comment after multiple calls and emails.

Extremist group suffering Old-style basketball game will setbacks in Syria and Iraq mark Y’s 125th anniversary BEIRUT (AP) – For a force that has built its reputation on an aura of momentum and invincibility, the Islamic State group is now dealing with a series of military setbacks in Iraq and a prolonged stalemate in the small Syrian border town of Kobani.

Gone are the days when ISIS was able to seize territory in both countries with relative ease. Its newfound problems, including a loss of oil revenue, raise questions about the extent to which it will be able to continue recruiting fighters who want to be with a winner.

“ISIS has run a very effective psychological campaign to intimidate its rivals and attract support and recruits,” said Faysal Itani, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council, using an acronym for the extremists. But now, he said, the need to maintain its reputation is limiting the group’s options.

This is particularly true in Kobani, where a preemptive IS withdrawal in

“They have invested a lot in this battle, and people are noticing. They will soon start asking what’s going on?” said Ayed, a Turkey-based Syrian activist who travels back and forth to the group’s stronghold in the Syrian city of Raqqa. He declined to give his full name.

The prolonged fighting in Kobani is also distracting IS from more strategically important areas in Syria and Iraq where the militant extremists are already stretched on multiple fronts.

Nearly 2 months after the group launched its lightning assault on the Kurdish-dominated town near Turkish border, the group is bogged down in an increasingly entrenched and costly battle.

STERLING – A celebration of the 125th anniversary of Sterling-Rock Falls Family YMCA will be held Nov. 15 in Musgrove Fieldhouse at Sterling High School, 1608 Fourth Ave. A high school boys basketball scrimmage and skills competition, involving Newman Central Catholic, Rock Falls,

and Sterling high schools, will begin at 5 p.m.

At 6:30 p.m., a “throwback” game, employing the original 13 rules, will be played by local celebrities wearing period uniforms.

Former Sterling High basketball star Fran Smith will be among the coaches. Players on the two teams will include Matt Gingrich, Elaine Hand, Ray Sharp, Jen Pepper, Todd Sigel, Jim

Kalina, Terry McGuire, Jason Borton, Kevin Anderson, Dan Arickx, state Rep. Mike Smiddy, Lou Sotelo, Mike Papoccia, Robbie Minor, and Teri McCormick. Jeff Cedro and Terri McCormick also will coach.

ILLINOIS

Rauner transition team includes Democrats Governor-elect first Republican governor in state in more than decade CHICAGO (AP) – In one of his first official acts since being elected governor, Republican Bruce Rauner named dozens of advisers to a transition team Thursday that included two prominent Democrats, former White House chief of staff Bill Daley and former Southern Illinois University President Glenn Poshard.

The team – which will help lay policy groundwork and determine who’ll be in Rauner’s cabinet once he takes office – also included for-

mer Republican Gov. Jim Edgar, Republican U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock, Caterpillar Inc. CEO Doug Oberhelman, former Chicago Public Schools CEO Ron Huberman and the Rev. James Meeks, one of the African American ministers from Chicago who had supported his campaign.

“We want to put together the most talented team of people ever assembled in state government,” Rauner said. “They have tremendous networks of talented individuals that they can call upon.”

Rauner addressed reporters for the first time since ousting Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in a close contest Tuesday. He’s the first Republican governor in Illinois in more than a decade.

The Winnetka venture capitalist offered a brief preview of his priorities, saying he was working on scheduling a meeting with top Democrats, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, and that raising the minimum wage was important.

Quinn stressed raising

the wage during the campaign and has vowed to pursue it in his remaining months in office. But Rauner took heat during the campaign for changing his stance. He said Thursday he personally voted for a non-binding ballot measure calling to raise Illinois’ $7.25 rate to $10, but would recommend lawmakers only approve it in conjunction with other reforms. Rauner spokesperson Lance Trover later said Rauner wouldn’t work against efforts that will only raise the rate.

ELECTION 2014 | ANALYSIS

Shifting white votes hurt Democrats Dominating the vote among minorities isn’t enough to win elections today WASHINGTON (AP) – White voters of all ages were less likely to back Democrats this year than in elections past, helping Republicans nationwide but most acutely in the South – and overpowering Democratic efforts to turn out their core supporters among blacks and Hispanics.

In a nation growing ever more diverse, political forecasters repeatedly warn Republicans they must improve their appeal among minorities in order to remain competitive in the long term.

But for the Democrats, dominating the vote among minorities isn’t enough to win elections today – and it won’t be in the future if the GOP is able to run up similar margins among whites, who still make up a majority of voters in every state.

“The rule of thumb was Democrats could win with 90 percent of the African-American vote and 40 percent of the white vote,” said Merle Black, a political science professor at Emory University in Atlanta.

“But now, very few Democrats could think about getting 40 percent of the white vote. They’re trying to get 30 percent.

In the Deep South states, from South Carolina to Louisiana, it’s very hard for the Democratic candidate to get 25 percent of the white vote.”

Nationally, Republicans running for seats in the U.S. House won

IN BRIEF Teens suspected in BU incidents

Group builds home for disabled adults

PEORIA (AP) – Bradley University in Peoria says a group of teenagers appears to be responsible for several confrontations with, and assaults on students.

According to the Journal Star in Peoria, the university said at least five such incidents happened Monday night on and near campus. None of them resulted in serious injuries.

The university said the incidents involved a group of four to five teen boys.

In one incident, they surrounded a pair of female students while threatening and grabbing them. In another, they threw a girl to the ground and stole her cellphone.

Witnesses said the teens appeared to be between 13 and 16 years old.

EUREKA (AP) – A central Illinois organization is breaking ground on a group home for people with developmental disabilities to replace a building that was severely damaged by a 2013 tornado.

The Peoria Journal Star reported the Association for the Developmentally Disabled of Woodford County is constructing a 3,000-square-foot residence for up to eight adults in Eureka. The groundbreaking is set for Thursday afternoon.

The group’s president and CEO Keith McArdle says it decided to construct a new building to fit its needs, rather than renovate a single-family home after the tornado damaged the group’s building in Washington.

WASHINGTON SCOOP

Fed-up voters seek straight-talking pols As in 1968, candidates with ‘guts’ rise to the top of the heap A fundamental phenomenon drove the Republican sweep of Tuesday’s midterm elections, a hard-core political reality that, in the end, proved far more influential than a bandwagonfull of ideological imperatives and media spinner pontifications.

Yet it has mainly gone unbabbled-upon by the chattering heads who have been opining all over our screens ever since the ballots were tallied. It certainly isn’t a newly discovered phenomenon; it predates most of our punditocracy. Indeed, it was discovered back in the political Pleistocene Age by a young reporter whose baptism in politics was covering the tumultuous 1968 presidential campaign.

Remember 1968: America had been shattered by the assassinations of Martin Luther King in April and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy in June.

The Democratic convention in Chicago was

consumed by bloody street riots pitting police against anti-Vietnam War protesters.

While the Washington media’s elites were covering either Republican Richard Nixon or Democrat Hubert Humphrey, that young reporter was assigned to cover a thirdparty independent presidential run by Alabama’s segregationist former Gov. George Wallace, who figured to be just a campaign sideshow.

WHO WAS GEORGE Wallace?

Just 5 years earlier, Wallace had declared, “Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.” In an infamous 1963 confrontation, Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door to block black students from entering the University of Alabama – until he was forced to back down by an edict from thenAttorney General Robert

Kennedy and federalized National Guard troops.

In the autumn of 1968, Wallace drew large crowds in his first campaign rallies in northern cities. He regaled the crowd with his downhome speeches, railing against federal bureaucrats whose briefcases contained “nothing but peanut butter sandwiches” and “pointyheaded intellectuals who can’t even park a bicycle straight.”

Weary of Wallace’s standard stump speech, the young reporter began walking through the crowd, asking folks, many of whom carried “Wallace” signs, who they favored before Wallace entered the campaign.

Time after time, these northerners gave the same answer: “Bobby Kennedy.”

It didn’t bother voters that they had supported a liberal, pro-integration, Vietnam War dove until he was assassinated, and then switched to a conservative, pro-segregation, Vietnam War hawk.

These voters were more than unapologetic, and their explanations rang true to their feelings about politics and leaders.

“Sure, I voted for Bobby,” said a 49-year-old

George C. Wallace

Robert F. Kennedy

1919-1998

1925-1968

After Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated in the 1968 presidential primary campaign, some supporters switched allegiance to former Alabama Gov. George C. Wallace, although his politics were far different than Kennedy’s. Why? Those voters saw both Kennedy and Wallace as authentic, “the real deal,” as columnist Martin Schram writes.

Newark, New Jersey, postman wearing a Wallace button on his white sport shirt, as he explained how he had voted in New Jersey’s presidential primary before Kennedy was murdered.

“He had the same thing Wallace has got that none of the other politicians have: guts. Bobby was a good man because he was not afraid. Now Wallace is the only guy who isn’t talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, trying to please everyone at once.”

The postman paused, then added proudly: “I have Bobby’s personal autograph at home, you know.”

And Mrs. Clifford Dupree, a housewife from Edison, New Jersey, asked about the apparent contradictions between the two candidates, said: “They say what they mean, and they don’t beat around the bush.”

FAST-FORWARD almost a half-century, and there is a significant sameness to the core concerns of voters. Many feel fed up and want leaders who will make the answers seem clear, or at least clearly simple.

That’s how it was back in what may have been the modern era’s most emotionally draining presidential campaign year, 1968.

And that’s how it is today, in a time when our problems seem complex to the point of being unmanageable – and potential solutions that candidates dredge up from their think tanks all seem more complex than voters’ gray cells can process.

What gets lost in all of this is what pundits and professors tend to be obsessed with: whether the candidate or idea is a

‘‘

They [Kennedy and Wallace] say what they mean, and they don’t beat around the bush.

Mrs. Clifford Dupree, 1968

creature or a creation of the left, center or right.

And within today’s Grand Old Party, many feel no angst as they bounce between the warhawkish John McCain, tea party panderish Ted Cruz, and isolation-dovish Rand Paul.

It’s the professional thinkers who get all caught up in ideological imperatives and assume voters feel the same compulsion.

Not so. What voters really care about is whether a candidate seems to be authentic, the real deal.

Candidates who can be that – or fake it best – will rise to the top.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

EDITORIAL | 2014 ELECTION

Voters wise to give commission the boot A

bout a month after former Dixon Comptroller Rita Crundwell was arrested by the FBI for stealing millions from city coffers, the Sauk Valley Media Editorial Board called for an end to the city’s commission form of government.

In “Put commission government out of commission” on May 15, 2012, we suggested the city might be better off studying other forms of municipal government, as allowed by state statute, and adopting one of them.

In the wake of the Crundwell thefts, which ballooned to more than $53 million, we proposed that “improving management of the city’s finances and ensuring professionalism in city administration” should be pursued.

While city leaders addressed those issues within the confines of the commission form of government, there remained the issue of how one person was able to hide massive thefts of taxpayer dollars for more than two decades.

The Dixon City Council deserves credit for appointing a governmental task force to research forms of city

What we think By a 3-to-1 margin Tuesday, Dixon voters said it was time for their city to adopt the managerial form of government.

Citizens made the right choice. government. Last year, the group concluded that the managerial form would best suit Dixon. The council then voted to place this question on the Nov. 4, 2014, ballot: “Shall the city of Dixon adopt the managerial form of government?”

A citizens group, the Committee to Change City Government, organized a campaign to promote the referendum’s passage. Through meetings, brochures, signs, and an online presence, the group pointed out what the new form of government would accomplish: Bring on board a full-time, professional city manager to oversee the city’s departments.

Remove council members from their executive roles as city commissioners and let them focus on setting policy and providing oversight.

Offer the opportunity for younger, nonretired citizens to run for the council.

Provide staggered terms for the mayor and council members.

In approving the city manager referendum Tuesday, 76 percent to 24 percent, Dixon voters made the right choice.

We congratulate them.

Implementing the managerial form of government next year must be done with care. Hiring well is essential to ensure that the city has the best manager it can find.

The need for one additional reform remains.

In 2015, Dixon will still elect a city council on an at-large basis, meaning that representation on the council for all sections of the city is not guaranteed.

Indeed, all current commissioners live east of Galena Avenue, a major thoroughfare that divides the city.

Establishing wards, as are used in Sterling and Rock Falls, would solve that lingering issue of fair representation. It needs to be done, the sooner, the better.

DAY TRIP

Havencrest Castle opens 21 rooms to public Tours focus on entertainment, history

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

SAVANNA – Looking out toward the Mississippi River, Havencrest Castle offers not only a view, but also a warm welcome.

The castle’s history began with a home called Hillside, built by Simon and Frances Jane Greenleaf. He owned the Savanna Times and later the Savanna Journal with his son, Francis. Today, Hillside is a visitors center.

Later, Francis and his wife, Margaret, built their own home at the top of the hill, naming it Hillcrest. Completed in 1901, the mansion had indoor bathrooms and electricity.

After the Greenleafs died in 1944, the home had several owners. In 1976, it came into the care of Alan and Adrianne St. George, who went to work on the house. Its original 22 rooms became 63.

Although Adrianne died in 2006, the house, now called Havencrest, opened to the public in 2013.

Tours cover 21 rooms in the home and include the home’s history. Michael Dunavant, curator and event director, said he had toured extensively and always encountered red velvet ropes keeping people away. Those ropes aren’t welcome at the castle.

“When I opened it last year, I never wanted that to be part of it,” he said.

“People can come in and sit on the furniture. The reason it was built was to entertain. They picked rugs to be walked on. We try to keep that. We try to keep it very personal and entertaining.”

It’s so entertaining that the tour guides are professional singers and actors.

Guests will settle in to the music room for a little entertainment in the form of a musical selection

If you go ...

We have no children of our own, but he has an 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship who has been coming over every other weekend and holidays since she was 10. Even though she lives with her mother, she has a dedicated room that’s packed to the gills with her clothes, games, toys, etc.

I would like to repurpose her room now that she is off to college. My husband says no. We don’t have a guest bedroom, so I feel strongly that it makes no sense to keep her room intact

ENTERTAINMENT | COMMENTARY

CMA Awards: Nashville flails in post-Swift era

BY MIKAEL WOOD MCT News Service

A country superstar gone proudly (and successfully) pop, Taylor Swift was nowhere to be seen at the 48th annual Country Music Assn. Awards.

But boy, was her presence felt.

Who else to credit – or blame – for the show’s opening sequence, which featured Meghan Trainor singing her No. 1 hit “All About That Bass” with Miranda Lambert? Or the mystifying presence of pop-R&B vocalist Ariana Grande, who turned up to do “Bang Bang” with Little Big Town, a group she appeared unlikely to recognize on the street?

Welcoming viewers to Wednesday’s festivities, broadcast on ABC from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, CMA hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood gave a name to this condition: “postpartum Taylor Swift disorder.” Symptoms include grief over Swift’s departure from country music – a move she’d threatened for years but finally made official with last month’s “1989” – as well as a desperate determination to fill the vacuum she left behind.

That eagerness has its merits. There’s no doubt, for instance, that Swift’s expansion of country – the way she reshaped its sound and some of its values – helped open the door for someone like Kacey Musgraves, who won the award for song of the year with “Follow Your Arrow,” a clever, heartfelt

“Do you guys realize what this means for country music?”

Musgraves asked as she accepted her trophy, and hopefully the answer is more songs as casually open-minded as “Follow Your Arrow.”

Yet it was hard to detect anything beyond opportunism at work in Trainor’s and Grande’s messy, chemistry-free performances, both clear attempts to satisfy viewers accustomed to seeing Swift on the CMAs. Then again, at least the interlopers brought some

energy to this mostly charmless production.

Deflated or not by Swift’s defection, many of Nashville’s established stars were especially dull Wednesday, from Paisley to Keith Urban to Lady Antebellum to the normally exuberant Luke Bryan, who took home the night’s top honor, entertainer of the year. (Other big winners included Blake Shelton, named male vocalist of the year, and Lambert, who won female vocalist of the year and album of the year for “Platinum.”)

Jason Aldean dialed back his bro-country boisterousness for a sleepy version of “Burnin’ It Down,” while Dierks

Bentley seemed more hung over than buzzed in “Drunk on a Plane.”

And though Eric Church was clearly amped to duet with George Strait on “Cowboys Like Us,” Strait looked ready to return to the semi-retirement he began earlier this year.

There were flashes of spirit, as in Little Big Town’s appealingly sleazy “Day Drinking;” Shelton and Monroe’s “Lonely Tonight,” which they sang with eyes locked firmly on each other; and an intense version of “Something in the Water”

by Underwood, who sacrificed her usual polish in order to show off the frayed edges of her voice.

Breathe It’s easy to take breathing for granted.

We’ve been doing it our whole life and it seems fairly automatic. But, have you ever noticed how anxious you get when your breathing is compromised? Panic attacks are often triggered by the fear that one will run out of air, in an enclosed space, for instance. And, it is with good reason that we are anxious about our breathing. Breathing is life itself; the breath of life is God’s most elemental gift. And, while breathing is usually automatic, it need not be so.We can consciously slow down our breathing, which is beneficial when we are anxious. And we can use our breathing as an aid to prayer, breathing in and out in rhythm to our prayer.This is a very ancient method of “abiding in prayer.” That is, we repeat a short phrase every time we breathe in and breathe out.Try this, using a short prayer or phrase such as “the Lord is my shepherd” while breathing in, and “I shall not want” while breathing out. (Then repeat a hundred times.) “Praise God” (breathing in) “from whom all blessings flow” (breathing out). Any short prayer or Bible verse will work.

“Inspiration” literally means the drawing of air into the lungs, but metaphorically it means to be creatively stimulated. So breathe, and breathe well.

– Christopher Simon

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!

Psalm 150:6

Bridge is so full of possibilities

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Mark Twain said, “Truth is stranger than fiction, but that is because fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; truth isn’t.”

A bridge deal is full of possibilities, some fact (what actually happened) and some fiction (what might have happened). This deal is a good example. It could be played in a duplicate, and each table would have a different auction or card-play sequence.

First, after North passes, should East open three clubs? This would normally promise a seven-card suit, but as there is no weak two in clubs, many pairs would start with three clubs, even in second position (where one tends to be the most conservative), because the

suit is so strong. When this board was originally played, East passed, South opened one diamond, and West produced a two-spade weak jump overcall, not caring that

he held four hearts. North made an aggressive raise to three diamonds. Now South should have shut his eyes and bid three no-trump. Yes, that contract can be defeated if West leads a club, but why should he?

However, South tried for game with four diamonds and North passed, of course.

West chose the interesting lead of his singleton trump (instead of the spade king).

What should South have done?

Declarer started with nine top tricks: one spade, three hearts and five diamonds. So he immediately conceded a club to arrange a club ruff in his shorter trump hand for a sixth diamond trick.

As the cards lay, he could not gain two ruffs for 11 tricks. If you are curious, try it. © 2014 UFS

ILLINOIS

Lawmakers OK fracking rules CHICAGO (AP) – Illinois lawmakers signed off Thursday on longawaited rules regulating high-volume oil and gas drilling, clearing the way for companies to get “fracking” permits and unleash what they hope will be an energy boom in the southern part of the state.

But a number of key details were not disclosed including how the state plans to fund the hiring of new workers to oversee the practice, which uses high-pressure mixtures to crack open rocks and release trapped oil and gas.

The delay in the fracking rules – which took more than a year for the state Department of Natural Resources to write and which were revised by a legislative committee – prompted complaints from industry that energy development would suffer.

The final rules must be submitted to the Secretary of State to be

AP

Illinois State Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, speaks Thursday after a meeting of the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules in Chicago. published by Nov. 15.

The secretive approval process set off alarm bells with environmental activists, who say they have no idea what changes were made to the draft of regulations released by the department in late August.

“We are sure many changes benefiting industry have been made behind closed doors without

scientific review,” said Annette McMichael, spokeswoman for Southern Illinoisans Against Fracturing our Environment.

Lawmakers who approved the rules unanimously and without discussion, expressed confidence that concerns raised in 30,000 public comments had been addressed.

“All of the changes that were made were because the earlier proposed rules were inconsistent with the statute,” said Democratic state Sen. Don Harmon, the committee chair.

The Illinois fracking law passed by the Legislature last year drew national attention as a model of compromise between environmental and industry groups. But cooperation broke down when a first draft of rules was criticized by environmentalists and a second draft was faulted by industry.

“It’s a pendulum,” Harmon said.

“This is a return to the center.”

IN BRIEF Orbitz shares sink on disappointing 3Q CHICAGO (AP) – Orbitz Worldwide Inc. shares sank Thursday after the online travel company reported a disappointing third quarter.

The company said that it earned $9 million, or 8 cents per share, for its third quarter. That’s down from $13 million, or 11 cents per share, last year.

The quarter was weighed down by increased provision for taxes and the profit missed market forecasts. Analysts surveyed

by Zacks Investment Research were anticipating earnings of 14 cents per share.

Orbitz posted revenue of $253.1 million in the period, up 15 percent from the prior year thanks to increased gross bookings. But the revenue also fell short; analysts had expected $253.8 million, according to Zacks.

The company said it expects its revenue growth for the year to be up 9 to 10 percent, down slightly from its prior forecast.

And for 2015 it forecast revenue gains in the midsingle digits.

Orbitz, based in Chicago, runs its namesake site, cheaptickets.com and other travel sites.

The company’s shares fell 6.7 percent to $7.91 by early afternoon trading. It stock price has increased 18 percent since the beginning of the year.

ADM promotes its president to CEO NEW YORK (AP) – Agribusiness giant Archer Daniels Midland Co. is promoting its president and chief operating officer to CEO as Patricia Woertz steps down after more than 8 years at the helm.

ADM said Thursday that Juan Luciano will take over as CEO on Jan. 1. Woertz will remain chairman of the company. ADM said that she expects to retire in May 2016.

The Chicago-based company processes corn and wheat and makes agricultural products like vegetable oil, ethanol and ingredients used in packaged foods and drinks.

Woertz became ADM’s CEO in April 2006 and has been chairman since February 2007. Since she came on board, ADM’s revenue has more than doubled. It reported almost $90 billion in sales in 2013.

Earlier this year, it entered the natural flavors business by acquiring Switzerland’s Wild Flavors for $3.13 billion, including debt.

Dry eyes for Grady this time Sophomore prepared for state pressure

Sterling’s Jay Borum (2), Gabby Sandoval (12), and Taylor Hendrix hold up the 3A IVC Sectional championship plaque Thursday after the Golden Warriors beat Lincoln 25-15, 25-15 in Chillicothe. It is the Warriors’ first volleyball sectional title since 1981. Sterling plays in the supersectional on Saturday against Joliet Catholic at 6 p.m. in LaSalle-Peru.

POINT OF CONTENTION

Warriors reach Elite Eight with rout of Railsplitters

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

CHILLICOTHE – The Sterling volleyball players’ minds drifted away from books and Power Points to nets, blocks, and kills during school Thursday.

“It was all I could think about all day,” Sterling’s Kaylee Martin said. “I just couldn’t wait to get out here and play.”

While their thoughts were on volleyball instead of school work, maybe some history teachers would be pleased that the players remembered one date, 1981. That was the last time the Golden Warriors captured a sectional championship. Now, future teams will remember 2014.

Star of the match: Kaylee Martin, Sterling, 11 kills, 6 digs, 2 aces Key performers: Jay Borum, Sterling, 8 kills; Jordyn Koett, Sterling, 13 assists, 3 aces; Taylor Hendrix, Sterling, 3 blocks, 2 aces Up next: 3A LaSalle-Peru Supersectional, Sterling vs. Joliet Catholic, 6 p.m. Saturday The Warriors out-hit, out-blocked, and out-played Lincoln in the 3A IVC Sectional final, to the tune of a straightset 25-15, 25-15 win to capture the first title in 33 years Thursday night.

“Our girls were tough as nails tonight,” Sterling coach Dale Dykeman said.

Martin may have been the toughest.

The 5-foot-9 sophomore was nearly unblockable on the outside. She approached the net at different angles each time, which confused the Lincoln players as they watched ball after ball hit the waxed gym floor at Illinois Valley Central High School.

Jordyn Koett, who finished with a team-high 13 assists, and Alli Olson (12 assists) often fed Martin on the outside and watched her to go work.

Martin rose up, arched her back, and uncoiled powerful hit after powerful hit. She finished with 11 kills, six digs and two aces, and left the Railsplitters (26-13) with no answer.

Megan Grady left a trail of tears as a wide-eyed freshman competing at the 1A state cross country meet last fall.

She hopes to be crying tears of joy in her second opportunity, come Saturday morning at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

Grady burst on the scene a year ago, and quickly established herself as one of the area’s top runners. That didn’t stop her, however, from having a serious case of butterflies prior to her first state appearance.

Before the race, she was crying while lined up next to her fellow competitors, overwhelmed by the situation. One of her friends who was also running, Makaley Velazquez of Rock Falls, did her best to calm Grady down.

“I kind of fell apart down there, because I was so scared,” Grady said. “Makaley really helped. She was like, ‘Everything’s going to be OK.’ I was a mess.”

Grady ended up finishing 35th among 207 runners with a time of 18 minutes, 40 seconds. The top 25 finishers earn all-state status, and she would have had to slice off 26 seconds to reach that level.

Dixon’s Haley Fitzsimmons dives to save a shot during Thursday’s 25-9, 25-17 loss to Woodstock Marian in the title match of the 3A Rochelle Sectional.

SPORTS inside

ROCHELLE – Considering the length of his team’s eyebrowraising, successful postseason run, it was hard for Dixon volleyball coach Bunyan Cocar to keep from smiling Thursday night, even after his team’s season-ending defeat.

Even taking a look at his team’s stats – or, more specifically, the lack of stats – elicited a chuckle from him following the Duchesses’ 25-9, 25-17 loss to Marian Catholic in the finals of the Class 3A Rochelle Sectional.

“Six assists,” he said of junior setter Kacey Koch’s total.

“Tuesday, she had 30.”

In that previous match, Dixon stunned 30-match winner Burlington Central with a threegame upset. Against Marian, however, the magic ran out.

The Hurricanes (25-14) seemed to be everywhere at once, and with a two-setter offense, they were able to rotate a plethora of tall, skilled frontrow strikers that completely vexed the Duchesses’ blockers.

“There’s a lot of bad habits, a lot of bad habits been built up the past couple years,” James said.

Irving did speak with reporters following the loss in Portland, which included another statistical anomaly: James did not score in the second half.

James is conflicted. He’s trying to decide whether to carry the Cavs, or let them learn tough lessons through losses.

The easy solution would be for the four-time MVP to take over games the way he used to, but James has a long-term vision for the Cavs.

He’s willing to accept failure as long as it stimulates growth.

“I still got to figure out ways to get my teammates involved, too,” James said after scoring 31 points, including Cleveland’s final six, in the loss to the Jazz. “’Cause it just can’t be a one-, two- or three-man show. We have to do it together.”

He’s been through this before.

When James joined Miami in 2010, the Heat ended up in the finals but started 9-8. James was subjected to the same scrutiny he’s enduring now, except he said there was “anger behind the questions.” This time around, the inquiries are less emotional but equally direct: What’s going on?

The 6-11 Towns, a three-time AllState player in New Jersey, and the 6-10 Lyles, who made the gamewinning free throw in his final prep game to clinch an Indiana state title, both averaged more than 20 points and about 13 rebounds per game as high school seniors.

Kentucky got to the national championship game last season with five freshman starters.

Kansas and Duke were also bolstered by players who made smooth transitions from high school to college, and now are in the NBA. No longer is it a surprise to see freshmen having an immediate impact in college basketball. Here are a few of the many expected to do so this season:

JAHLIL OKAFOR, Duke: The 6-foot-11,

270-pound forward from Chicago has already made a big impression, getting selected as a preseason AP All-American before his first game for the Blue Devils. Okafor got to Duke with a wide wingspan, good footwork, and an NBA-ready body, after averaging 24 points and 11.3 rebounds as a senior.

The MVP of the McDonald’s All-American game could become the first Blue Devils center since Elton Brand to lead the team

Grady finished 35th as a freshman a year ago, but she has been outperformed this season by Haley Weidner, a BV freshman. Regan Weidner finished second at state as a sophomore, but she was slowed by injuries as a junior and is trying to recapture her top form. McKenna emerged from a resurgent Newman girls program.

Everybody figures to be chasing Anna Sophia Keller, an Effingham St. Anthony sophomore, who won last year’s race by 45 seconds.

A move into the top 10 is a possibility for the Comets. Individually, Rock Falls’ Williams (23rd last year) and Hamblen (32nd) are both threats to crack the top 15.

Hawks clipped by Indians, again Oregon falls to Dakota in sectional for second time in 3 years

Keith wins battle of Cougars McGary too much for Eastland

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

HANOVER – It’s always tough playing catch-up, but it’s nearly impossible in a sectional final against the two-time defending state champions.

The Eastland Cougars found that out the hard way Thursday night, falling behind early on in both games of a 25-19, 25-16 loss to Keith Country Day, which has won the last two Class 1A crowns.

“When we got down, the girls kind of felt like, ‘Uh oh, we buried ourselves, now what do we do,’” said longtime Eastland coach Kristy Pierce, who recorded her 900th career victory in Tuesday’s sectional semifinals. “They looked like a college team out there; they’ve played a lot of volleyball together, and it showed.”

Behind UConn recruit Iman McGary, Keith (326) jumped out to leads of 14-4 in Game 1 and 11-3 in Game 2. McGary had three of Keith’s first four kills in the opening game, and slammed five of its first six in the second game en route to a matchhigh 16 kills.

But the biggest impact the senior hitter had came at the end of Game 1.

With Eastland (32-7) having fought back to within 19-16, McGary closed out that set with a spike before opening the next one with another hot streak.

“She’s not going to UConn for nothing,” Pierce mused. “We kept fighting and battled back, but it’s difficult to do that for an entire match … especially when they have a go-to player who can put it away.”

Trailing by 10 in Game 1, junior hitter Cassidy Logemann started Eastland’s rally with a kill and a block on backto-back points. Sophomore Makenzie Fink and junior Sydney Guentner had consecutive kills a few points later, then Guentner spiked another one before tip-kills from junior Karalicia Kennedy and sophomore setter Ashley Beyers cut the deficit to 17-13.

Another Fink kill and back-to-back hitting errors by Keith got Eastland within three, but Alex Nunez – Keith’s only other senior besides McGary – ripped a kill, and Keith held on from there.

“We fought hard to get back in it, and we thought

we had a chance to take that first set if we could just push through a couple more points,” said Fink, who had a team-high eight kills. “If we had just started stronger, not gotten down by so much so early, I think we could’ve stuck with them.”

But the song was the same in Game 2. Keith scored 11 of the first 14 points, then kept Eastland from making any extended runs the rest of the way. Eastland got to within five three times – the last at 15-10 – before Keith pulled away.

A McGary kill started another Keith run, and she followed two kills and a block by freshman setter Zoe Nunez with two more kills in a three-point span for a 22-12 lead. Consecutive kills by Keith’s Sydney Sherman and Ashley Wehrstein closed out the match.

“We knew Eastland was a good team who would probably catch up with us at some point in the postseason,” McGary said, “and we weren’t surprised at all that they fought hard and came back on us. But those big leads were definitely important, because we’re such a young team that it helps keep us from getting down, and really keeps us going when the other team starts to score a few points.”

“When you build leads, it allows you to be human and make a few mistakes, but not panic,” Keith coach Steve Williams added.

“Making them chase us keeps the pressure on them to catch up while still trying to play their game, which can be tough to do.”

Beyers led Eastland with 16 assists, while Guentner spiked six kills and Logemann added five kills and a block. Bubby Doubler finished with 11 digs. The Cougars bring back all 10 players on their roster next season.

“I think we’ll just play with so much more confidence next year,” Fink said, “because we’ll be comfortable after playing together for a whole year already.”

Keith Country Day advances to the Harvest Christian Academy Supersectional, where it will face the host Lions at 7 p.m. Saturday.

“We’ve got a big target on our backs, but I think that makes us play better,” McGary said. “We love good competition, like we got tonight from Eastland, and we live to take on those challenges.”

Star of the match: Iman McGary, Keith, 16 kills, 8 digs Key performers: Zoe Nunez, Keith, 20 assists, 5 kills, 2 blocks, 2 aces, 8 digs; Alex Nunez, Keith, 4 kills, 9 digs; Makenzie Fink, Eastland, 8 kills; Sydney Guentner, Eastland, 6 kills; Cassidy Logemann, Eastland, 5 kills, 1 block Up next: 1A Harvest Christian Academy Supersectional, Keith Country Day vs. Harvest Christian Academy, 7 p.m. Saturday

PECATONICA – It would be hard to find two more evenly matched 2A volleyball teams than Oregon and Dakota. The difference in Dakota’s 25-17, 25-22 sectional championship win was the Hawks made more mistakes on offense.

“Our defense wasn’t the problem,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “We lost because of us, not because of [Dakota].”

For the first time, Oregon failed to have any sort of lead in the match.

The closest it came was ties at 1, 4, and 6 in the second game.

“We were both at the same skill level,” Oregon libero Bre Cullen said. “The difference was they played smarter and made less errors.”

In the second game, Emy Wright had two kills and a tip to pull Oregon to within 15-14. Then the miscues began piling up for the Hawks.

First, it was a service error, then two balls hit out of bounds. Dakota (35-4) took a 19-14 advantage on an illegal hit by Wright. A muffed shot and another kill attempt out of bounds made it a 22-14 deficit.

“Once they hit into a block, there would be a shutdown,” Watson said. “When you get blocked a couple times, you lose confidence.”

“We knew No. 4 [Wright] was really talented,” Dakota coach Shannon Williams said. “We had a hard time slowing her down, but we were effective on our blocks.”

Just when things looked the bleakest, the Hawks put together an 8-1 run to pull within 23-22.

The Indians struggled returning the serves of Mackenzie Skoumal.

Their only point in that run came via a net violation. Whitney Long added two kills and a block, Sommer Rhea a kill and a block, and Oregon looked to have enough momentum to perhaps win Game 2.

“That was Oregon volleyball,” Watson said. “When something works, we thrive. It was like that against Byron [in the regional final]. If we could have won the second game, I thought we would

A kill by 5-foot-10 Kristi Ebbers and a block by Eden Meier doused that spark, and for the second time in 3 years, it was Dakota over Oregon (31-6-2) in the sectional final.

“We got that high energy towards the end, but waited too long,” Long said. “Earlier, we were almost overworking and rushing, to the point of being nervous.”

That was evident in the first game, when the Indians jumped out to an 8-2 lead. Oregon had three return errors and had kill attempts stuffed twice by Jaycee Cleaver.

“They were helping us out with their mistakes,” Williams said.

Cullen helped get her team back into it with some timely serving.

The Hawks reeled off five straight points, as setter Delaney Mahoney started finding her teammates,

and Oregon only trailed 8-7.

Slowly, though, Dakota began to pull away, using a combination of tips, kills, and blocks. Meanwhile, the Oregon offense could not hold service for more than a point or two. An 18-15 Dakota lead soon became a 25-17 final.

“Their attackers were adjusting more and making tips,” Watson said.

“We knew coming in that the middle would be open for tips, because they shift back on defense just like we do,” Williams said.

The loss was particularly hard to take for seniors Mahoney and Wright, who had been on the varsity team since their freshman year, and suffered sectional final losses the past 3 years.

Dakota, which is on a 28-game winning streak, will face Fieldcrest in the supersectional.

Warriors find holes in Lincoln defense CONTENTION

CONTINUED FROM B1

“We knew they were going to try to put their focus on me on the outside after the start,” Martin said. “So we just set Jay [Borum], and she was able to take over. We had so many girls step up.”

“I trust all of my hitters,” Koett said. “I know they’re going to be in the right spots, and they’re going to make plays and come up with big kills.”

Martin took control of the first game with thundering kills, and Borum finished it with a few fancy plays of her own.

Borum finished with eight kills, and added another scoring option for the resilient Warriors (28-10).

Coming out of the huddle to start the second game, Lincoln attempted to shift blockers to the outside to subdue Martin and Borum, but

“Our middle did a good job in pulling their

blockers,” Borum said.

“Then we just did our jobs.”

Taylor Hendrix and Megan Loos teamed to score four points in a

five-point stretch midway through Game 2, including two consecutive aces from Hendrix that fell between all six Lincoln players. That stretch forced Railsplitters coach Dawn Crawford to call a timeout to regroup, which sent the wellattended Sterling crowd and yellow-clad student section into a frenzy.

“The first time we saw [Lincoln] play was Tuesday night, and we noticed they closed out pretty well,” Dykeman said. “But we went after them and, from the pin to pin tonight, we had them. They weren’t closing out, and that was open all night.”

Sterling will face Joliet Catholic – a straight-set winner over Bloomington Central Catholic – in the LaSalle-Peru Supersectional at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The winner will earn a trip to the state semifinals next weekend in Normal.

Duchesses proud of long postseason run HURRICANES

CONTINUED FROM B1

“We just ran into a fantastic team,” Cocar said.

“We run a 5-1, so that means we have a setter in the front row half the time, and 5-foot-4 against 5-11 just wasn’t cutting it today. They had great setters, and we were just guessing wrong with our blocks all night.”

That height disadvantage was worsened in the second game. Trailing 8-6, the Duchesses (16-17) lost junior middle hitter Jamie Altenburg to a gruesome dislocation of the pinkie on her nonstriking hand. She did not return.

Her absence added to

what was already shaping up as a field day for Marian standout sophomore Sydney Nemtuda, a 5-foot-10 outside hitter who can jump out of the gym. She frequently benefitted from an unblocked left side and hammered home a match-leading nine kills, including three during her first trip through the front row following Altenburg’s injury.

Dixon’s attackers, meanwhile, struggled to find holes in the ’Canes front line. Senior Amy Rotella, the heart of the Duchesses’ late-season resurgence, was the team’s leading kill-getter with three.

“We were talking as much. There were just a

bunch of errors on our part,” she said. “They put up a bigger block than we were used to seeing.”

Despite the frustrating end to her team’s season, Rotella – like Cocar – couldn’t be too upset with the program’s first berth in the Sweet 16 in 31 years.

“Even though we lost, it’s still a victory because we weren’t expected to get this far,” said Rotella, who plans to play collegiate volleyball but is currently uncommitted.

“It was phenomenal. I will remember it for the rest of my life.”

In each of the two games Thursday, the Duchesses hung with Marian early before fading back. In the first game, the teams

exchanged leads four times and were tied on five occasions before the Hurricanes used a prolonged 21-4 run to close things out. In the second game, Dixon was within 14-12 and 20-17, but Marian Catholic scored the final five points to finish the match.

“I felt like we were playing with them at times,” Cocar said. “We can play with anybody. We showed that against BC. Tonight just wasn’t our night.”

Jessa Long finished with 12 digs, and Phoenix Smith added two blocks for the Duchesses. Koch had five digs to go with her six assists, and Rotella led the team with three service points.

AP

Aaron Rodgers scrambles away from the Saints’ Marcus Bell during a game on Oct. 26 in New Orleans. Rodgers sliced up the Bears defense during the first meeting. Chicago will need to find some way of slowing him to have a chance of beating the Packers when the two teams meet Sunday night at Lambeau Field.

Allen said. “But you have to continue to pass rush. You can’t get discouraged that it might be the second quarter, third quarter.

When you do get an opportunity, you have to capitalize on negative plays.”

Defensive end Willie Young, who replaced Allen in the first meeting, got the message.

“We just have to keep coming,” he said. “It’s going to be that one time he decides to hold it, or he has to pump it, pull it, and that has to be the time we capitalize on the opportunity.”

The Bears’ pass coverage in Week 4 did the rush no favors, and that also must change.

Packers receivers easily found openings in the Bears’ various zones. Cornerbacks Tim Jennings and Kyle Fuller consistently dropped 5 or more yards off the line of scrimmage, allowing receivers free releases into their routes. In turn, Rodgers exploited them with his quick release.

“We have to be more aggressive at the line of scrimmage with some of their receivers, and try to throw some of their timing off,” Jennings said.

Jennings, who’s listed at 5-foot-8, 185 pounds, doesn’t have the length best suited for bump-and-run coverage. The

Bears afford Fuller and him the freedom to play with vision, and they give receivers a cushion at times to prevent the big play. How Sunday’s changes account for that limitation and trade-off will help determine the outcome.

“We have to be more physical, play faster, and need better execution,” Tucker said. “All of the above.”

It can be done. One of those 30 dropbacks in Week 4 proved it.

Ahead two touchdowns late in the third quarter, the Packers had second-and-7 from the Bears’ 8-yard line. Rodgers took the shotgun snap and wanted to throw to running back Eddie Lacy, who had motioned out near the right sideline.

However, left defensive end Lamarr Houston’s initial push upfield obstructed Rodgers’ passing lane. Rodgers double clutched, then extended the play by running right. The Bears’ defensive backs smothered in coverage, and tackle Ego Ferguson chased Rodgers out of bounds for no gain and a sack.

Of course, Rodgers threw a touchdown two plays later.

“If it requires biting, scratching, or clawing,” Young said, “then that’s what we’re going to do.”

Cleveland rules Ohio Browns shut down Dalton, Bengals in Cincy

BY JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI – Andy Dalton’s harried look summed it up. Cleveland’s defense was all over him all night long, turning an AFC North showdown into a shockingly one-sided matchup.

With every sack and interception, the Browns showed they’re for real.

Cleveland improved on its best start in 20 years by taking full advantage of Dalton’s miserable night Thursday, beating the Cincinnati Bengals 24-3 and ending one of its most enduring streaks of futility.

AP The Browns (6-3) Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is sacked by moved into a first-place Browns defensive end Desmond Bryant during the tie with Pittsburgh and second half Thursday in Cincinnati. The Browns snapped their streak of 17 straight losses to division smothered Dalton and the Bengals in a 24-3 win.

opponents on the road.

The last win? Also in Cincinnati, a 20-12 victory on Sept. 28, 2008.

Just like the Browns, the Bengals (5-3-1) were trying to break away from some bad franchise history. They’ve played some of their worst games in prime time, and wanted to show they were finally ready to hold up under the national attention.

Instead, they crumbled along with their QB. Dalton was 10-for-33 for 86 yards with three interceptions and two sacks. It was another biggame meltdown for the fourth-year quarterback, who has led his team to the playoffs 3 years in a row, only to lose opening games all three times.

Cincinnati fell to 18-41 in prime time.

The game marked the first since 1986 – when Bernie Kosar and Boomer Esiason were the quarterbacks – that the intrastate rivals played with first place on the line so late in the season. The Browns won that one 34-3.

And they were in charge right from the start of this one, too.

Playing in a cold, gusty wind, Dalton was repeatedly off-target. His second pass was intercepted by linebacker Craig Robertson, who returned it to the 18 to set up Ben Tate’s 4-yards TD run.

It never got any better for Cincinnati, which self-destructed in a tonesetting first half.

Friday, November 7, 2014 Your resourcefulness and resilience will be tested.

Although you will face some difficulties, you may be able to outmaneuver your opponents and come out on top if you are conscientious and precise.

You will be rewarded for your dependability as well as for your common sense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A last-minute deviation from your plans will have an amazing effect on your future.

Go with the flow, and you will not be disappointed. Safeguard documents and information until needed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You should stop agonizing over what you’ve done in the past and look at the future with optimism. Unwise decisions will be the result of poor judgment. Focus on the here and now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Preoccupation with personal problems will interfere with your professional productivity. Make your career a priority to avoid further repercussions. Let success be your revenge and your ticket to a better future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don’t dwell on negative events. Consider your objectives and put your best foot forward.

Appreciate what you have and you’ll find a way to make the most of your life.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If an emotional partnership is in decline, you need to make some hard choices. Don’t stay in a situation that is bringing you down. It’s time to shake up your routine.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Cultural influences will spur your creativity and spark new ideas. Music and art can be enjoyed with little or no cash via the Internet or at galleries and museums.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Act reserved when dealing with peers. Overfamiliarity with colleagues or superiors will lead to a loss of respect and damage to your status and reputation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A falling out with someone will leave you feeling uneasy.

If you overreact, you will have to make amends. Be honest and admit your mistake.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A brief getaway will renew your faith in life. It’s easy to lose sight of your goals if you’ve been running in circles and getting nowhere fast. An escape will put things in perspective.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Be generous with your time, not your money. Don’t let negativity take a toll on your well-being.

Volunteer for a worthy cause to make a difference.

MSRP ....................... $21,030 DISCOUNT ................... $1,280 MFG REBATE ............... $2,500 FINANCE CASHA ............... $500 FARM BUREAUB .............. $500

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Curb your anger around the young and old people in your life. You’ll get a better response using encouragement. Focus inward and make personal changes instead of trying to alter others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Business or legal negotiations will require your full attention.

Don’t rush while working out contracts or agreements. Time will be needed to do proper and thorough research.
