Some just don’t want to be reappointed.” Dixon’s airport, library, tourism development and zoning board of appeals each has a vacancy, Burke said, in addition to the plan commission alternate. Rock Falls’ lone vacancy is on its planning and zoning commission, Mayor Bill Wescott said, adding that
board members are appointed by the mayor with the consent and approval of the City Council. When Rock Falls has had vacancies, the city has been able to fill them relatively quickly, Wescott said. “We’ve not had a problem here,” he said. “We’ve fortunately had people that wanted to get involved.” SEATS CONTINUED ON A4

KSB physician is tops in the state Dr. Welty named Family Physician of the Year BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 529
DIXON – Dr. Joseph Welty has spent a lot of time in doctor’s offices, and not just his own at KSB Hospital’s Town Square Centre Clinic. His father died while his mother was pregnant with him. She was a nurse for a family physician when he was growing up, he said, so he would often go to the doctor’s office after school. “The sights and the sounds of the whole place got very interesting to me,” he said.

“[I] did some menial jobs there, washing windows, emptying garbarge cans, that kind of thing when I was a kid.” By the time he was in high school, Welty, an Amboy native, knew he wanted to become a doctor and later decided to focus on family practice. He was recently named the Family Physician of the Year by the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians. “I think I had that interest in kind of a wider range of disease states and caring for people in that setting,” he said. “I always envisioned coming back to a more rural area like Dixon, and I felt that that would be the best skill set for me in doing that.”

MORRISON – During the summer and fall, the city dealt with breaks in water lines in at least 70 places. Those breaks were caused by changes in pressure related to the city’s refurbishing of its water tower, which started in Everett Pannier June and ended a few weeks ago. At least one resident, Tom Luther, is blaming the city for a $1,650 plumber’s bill he incurred as a result of the situation. His break occurred between the shutoff valve for his water service and his home, which the city says is the resident’s responsibility. “There was no notice to the residents of the city about changes in pressure, potential problems or effects it could have on the system,” Luther said in a letter to the editor last weekend. Ninety percent of the breaks occurred on the city’s part of the system, while only seven or eight happened on the residents’ side, Mayor Everett Pannier said. Before the project, the city met with representatives from two engineering firms to prepare for changes in water pressure that would result from taking the tower out of commission, the mayor said. As a result of those meetings, he said, the city put regulators on fire hydrants to sense pressure, so when the pressure was too high, the water would go into storm drains. The city also placed a buffer tank near one of the well sites. “It was intended to be there to buffer things and not slam water through the system,” Pannier explained. The number of breaks around town, which had public works employees logging overtime, surprised officials, the mayor said. REIMBURSE CONTINUED ON A4

STERLING HIGH SCHOOL
IN BRIEF
Student of the Month Zachary Woessner
Transit meeting is Dec. 9 in Sterling
Zachary Woessner, an 18-year-old student at Sterling High School, is a September Student of the Month. He is the son of Julie Woessner and the late Bob Woessner. His brother, Brock, 20, is attending Iowa State University. Favorite class: AP Literature Favorite teacher: Steve Johnson, who taught me AP chemistry last year. Extracurriculars: I thrive in the theater. Whether it’s speech team, Group Interp., plays or musicals, you’ll likely find me before an audience. When I’m not making a fool of myself on stage, I act as a co-president of National Honor Society, vice president of Key Club, and a drum major. After graduation: I hope to attend a school on the East Coast. (I have family on both sides out there.) For that reason, I am applying to roughly seven schools – possibly more – with the hopes of taking my pick. What do I plan to study at those schools? Well, I’ll let you know when I get there. Paycheck: I “work� for the Sterling Municipal Band, playing the French horn, although you can hardly call doing what you love “work.� In fact, not only do I love playing, but a few of my closest friends play in the band with me: Michelle Nickrent, Anne Zigler and Clarissa Worcester.

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com
Sterling September Student of the Month Zachary Woessner thrives on stage, whether it be performing in plays or musicals or playing the French horn in the Sterling Municipal Band. Favorite actor: Neil Patrick Harris. He’s slowly dominating every awards show known to man. Favorite TV show: No TV show has yet to surpass my middle school favorite, “Avatar: The Last Airbender,� in my heart. (That’s probably because I haven’t had time to watch TV in high school.)
Favorite activities: Swimming, reading and simply relaxing with my friends and family. Occasionally, I write about whatever crosses my mind – generally a prose-filled piece that I lose amid the disaster zone that is my room. Whoops. Favorite food: Well, frankly, I love everything I’m allergic to, be it
wheat, dairy, egg whites, peanuts, corn or soybeans. If I shouldn’t eat it, I crave it. Biggest fear: Honestly, the one thing I fear most is letting down my parents and myself. Growing up, my dad always said to “do the best you can, nothing less.� I know he would be proud of me, and that is all I can ask.
What makes your blood boil? When people don’t say “Thank you� or “You’re welcome.� Dream job: Window washer for a skyscraper. I’d be scared to death. What is the key to surviving high school? Challenge yourself, learn the word “no,� and have a favorite pair of underwear.

In all three cities, the board, commission or committee members aren’t paid, and the mayors say they get recommendations for appointments from city staff, other board members or by getting out and talking to community members. Sterling Mayor Skip Lee, who was a library board member before he was on the City Council, said the city tries to match a resident’s expertise or knowledge with a particular board. “On the planning commission, we look for
people who have a broad view of the community,â€? he said. â€œâ€Ś We want people who have a broad view because they make decisions that are big picture decisions.â€? Sterling has four vacancies on its Coliseum board, one on the historic preservation commission, and three on its industrial development commission, City Clerk Marie Rombouts said. In the past in Dixon, Burke has found board appointees by getting recommendations from current board members, from the City Council, or by approaching people in the community. Burke said he recently decid-

ed to take a different approach. Burke posted a request on the city’s website for applications from residents who might be interested. It was the first time he had used that approach, he said, adding that a similar post will be made to the city’s Facebook page. It was the spotlight and increased interest in Dixon’s city government resulting from the Rita Crundwell scandal that, Burke said, made him decide to gauge interest differently. Some of the boards meet monthly, others quarterly, yearly or only when needed. Other
boards aren’t active, such as Dixon’s tollway impact commission, which Burke said may be activated to deal with new tollway issues or possibilities. Unlike elected positions within the cities, some of the board, commission or committee positions don’t require members to live within the city limits. “The Dixon community, the way I view it, goes way beyond the city limit lines,� Burke said. In Rock Falls, which operates its own electrical utility that extends beyond the city limits, that border often is used to determine board eligibility, Wescott said.

Cars from a Metro-North passenger train are scattered after the train derailed Sunday in the Bronx neighborhood of New York.
Derailment kills 4, injures more than 60 All seven train cars leave track NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City commuter train rounding a riverside curve derailed Sunday, killing four people and injuring more than 60 in a crash that threw some riders from toppling cars and swiftly raised questions about whether excessive speed, mechanical problems or human error could have played a role. Some of the roughly 150 passengers on the early morning Metro-North train from Poughkeepsie to Manhattan were jolted from sleep around 7:20 a.m. to screams and the frightening sensation of their compartment rolling over on a bend in the Bronx where the Hudson and Harlem rivers meet. When the motion stopped, all seven cars and the locomotive had lurched off the rails, and the lead car was only inches from the water. It was the latest accident in a troubled year
for the nation’s secondbiggest commuter railroad, which had never experienced passenger death in an accident in its 31-year history. Joel Zaritsky was dozing as he traveled to a dental convention aboard the train. He woke up to feel his car overturning several times. “Then I saw the gravel coming at me, and I heard people screaming,� he told The Associated Press, holding his bloody right hand. “There was smoke everywhere and debris. People were thrown to the other side of the train.� In their efforts to find passengers, rescuers shattered windows, searched nearby woods and waters and used pneumatic jacks and air bags to peer under wreckage. Crews planned to bring in cranes during the night to right the overturned cars on the slight chance anyone might still be underneath.

their wallets?� Most of the problems occurred in the older sections of towns, where lines are 80 or 90 years old, Pannier said. “It’s unfortunate. It consumed a lot of the city’s time, and it was an inconvenience for homeowners,� he said. “The good news, if there is any, is that all of these 70 some locations have new
water mains.� What’s fortunate, Pannier said, was that the city had no major fire during the project. City officials kept in communication with the fire department about it, he said. “We didn’t want a fire like the one in downtown Prophetstown while the tower was down,� the mayor said. “That could have been catastrophic.�
PHYSICIAN
CONTINUED FROM A1
Welty has practiced medicine in Dixon for 28 years. During those years, he said, he’s been able to work with nurses, doctors, staff and patients that made the recent award possible. Dr. Emilee Bocker, a resident in the family practice portion of the Town Square Centre Clinic, nominated Welty after getting an email from the Illinois Academy of Family Physicians soliciting nominees. Bocker has known Welty for about 2 years, she said, and thought he was the perfect embodiment of the award’s purpose. “I’m just so happy that he won,� she said. “I was so excited for him, and it wasn’t really surprising because I thought it was very deserving.� Bocker first met Welty in July 2011, she said, and since then he’s served as her adviser and has taken the time to listen and help her and other residents. It’s the same personal approach he takes with his patients, she said. “I have a number of four-generation families,� Welty said. “I’ve taken care of what are now great-grandparents, grandparents, parents and children. ... It’s very rewarding; it really is. Again, I’m very honored and humbled people think highly
enough to give me that privilege.� For the past 15 years, Welty has served as Newman Central Catholic High School’s team physician. He’s been on the sideline for every football game during that time, he said, and has seen three state championship teams – so far – including the Class 2A champions crowned Friday in DeKalb. He said this year’s Newman football team, much like others in the past, focused more on the overall success and was not worried about the individual recognition. It’s a similar approach Welty takes to his own practice and the recent award, repeatedly referring to it as a group award. “I’ve got a great group of colleagues that I work with, a very loyal staff that I’ve had here – two nurses who have worked with me for 28 years here,� he said. “[And] a family that has been tremendously supportive through the whole thing.� On a wall in the hallway of Welty’s office are four framed Norman Rockwell reprints depicting scenes from a doctor’s office. The same framed images hung in the doctor’s office where his mother worked. When Welty retires, he said, he wants to find a doctor to pass them down to.

Day board meetings good for working folks? R ecently, the Lee County Board resisted the idea of holding meetings at night – a time when most working people can attend. The vote was 12-10 in favor of keeping board meetings at 9 a.m. Some counties in northern Illinois have daytime meetings, as does at least one township in the area. But I have yet to find a city, village or school board that meets regularly during the day. Even Lee County’s zoning board meets
at night. It sometimes deals with contentious issues – wind farms come to mind. Residents who want to protest would hardly put up with day meetings. Cities, villages and school boards are more attached to their communities. They deal with many issues that affect the lives of their constituents, but people don’t necessarily feel so close to their county and township governments. In a city, people live close together, which creates more issues.

When you live in the country, you might not feel such a strong attachment to the government. At the Nov. 19 County Board meeting, most of the younger mem-
bers – Wes Morrissey, D-Amboy; Allyn Buhrow, R-Ashton; Ryan Marshall, R-Dixon; and Kasey Considine, D-Amboy – voted for night meetings. Why? They all work. “The only problem is, when we have daytime meetings exclusively, we eliminate a group of people who could run for this [governing body],� Morrissey told his colleagues. The board used to meet at night during the warm months and during the day when it got colder, but that changed a cou-
ple of years ago. At least one member – Board Chairman Rick Ketchum, D-Amboy – has changed his mind on the issue. In 2012, he said day meetings make more sense, but at the recent meeting, he voted in the minority. While we’re on the subject of the Lee County Board, it’s time for an update on its attendance record. Not once since January 2010 has every member shown up at a meeting. Former member Kathy Hummel, who
was suffering from health problems, was absent from every meeting from April 2010 to November 2012. The county lost contact with her. In Illinois, many county boards, including those in Lee and Whiteside, are among the largest in the country. So big that no one really cares when one member quits showing up for 2 1/2 years.

The stories of people reaching out and doing wonderful things to benefit the tornado victims could fill this newspaper for a solid week. It makes us wonder. Why does it take a tornado to bring out this compassion? We’re reminded of the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition� build that was done in Pekin several years ago. The ABC-TV show did not provide any of the materials and very little of the labor. Those were donated, mostly by local folks. Most of what the TV show did was focus our attention on the family’s needs. Local money and hands did the rest. The wish to help and the ability to help is out there. And that’s a good thing, because tornado aftermath is too much for any one family – or any one neighborhood – to cope with alone. But just a reminder: There are people coping with their own private, more invisible disasters all the time. We have people who are homeless, hun-
gry and suffering every day – most of them were hurt not by tornadoes but by being laid off, or from being seriously ill, or for any number of other reasons. Just imagine if we all decided to attack the chronic problems in our community with as much zeal as we want to help the tornado victims. WE DON’T HAVE TO choose. We can do both. We can pull out all the stops and help people who are victims of a natural disaster. Our humanity calls for us to do this. We can also keep the momentum going and address some of the other needs of our fellow man. That good feeling you got when you handed over a donation? You don’t have to wait for a disaster to strike to hand over another. There are many charities running in the community – the United Way and Salvation Army are just two – that have needs day in and day out, natural disaster or no natural disaster. Keep reaching out and helping the tornado victims. But don’t forget that there are other unmet needs all around us all the time. Keep up the volunteer spirit.
Helping victims: It’s what Americans do Time to rebuild lives and homes News-Gazette Editorial Board Champaign
The worst is over. Now let’s get on to the best – rebuilding lives and homes. How many times has it been said that life can change dramatically in a split second? Or, as recent events indicate, in as long as it takes raging tornadoes to pick and choose their random targets while hop-scotching across a Midwestern prairie with devastated lives in their wake? Weather forecasters predicted last Sunday would be a dark and stormy day. It turned into that and more as energetic tornadoes spread across parts of Illinois and the Midwest, leaving a trail of destruction. Locally, Gifford was the
hardest hit, but damage was spread across Champaign, Douglas and Vermilion counties. Elsewhere, the town of Washington, a bedroom community of Peoria, suffered a crushing blow that left many dazed and homeless. It’s a clichÊ to say so, but it could have been worse – much worse. The good news is that people will not only survive but, ultimately, thrive. The human spirit is difficult to extinguish. People don’t know what they can do until they have no choice. But it’s a painful, frustrating, depressing and difficult process, and storm victims need help from those who were spared. That help will be gladly given. It’s what we do when tragedy – whatever its form – strikes, and our neighbors are in need.

Fighting a ‘fix’ in Springfield Unions target Senate Dems in pension reform battle BY KERRY LESTER !SSOCIATED 0RESS 7RITER
SPRINGFIELD – Up against a determined effort to curtail state employees’ retirement benefits, Illinois’ unions are staging an all-out campaign to thwart approval of a breakthrough proposal to solve the state’s $100 billion pension crisis, specifically targeting a small contingent of moderate Senate Democrats. The effort includes plans to flood lawmakers’ offices with retirees this week as they return to the Capitol beginning today, in addition to an ongoing phone campaign aimed at members of both the House and Senate. On the opposing side, all four Illinois legislative leaders and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn are engaged in an equally feverish campaign to secure support for the $160 billion savings plan, which could be called for a vote Tuesday in a special legislative session. Union leaders say they’re focusing on rank-and-file lawmakers after being ignored by state leaders who announced the compromise deal last week. Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFLCIO, said 25 “persuadable� lawmakers will be the subject of the most intense lobbying efforts. Carrigan declined to disclose names to The Associated Press, but said 8 to 10 lawmakers are targeted in the Senate and another 15 to 17 in the House. “We’re certainly going to apply every ounce of energy that we can to prevent the passage of legal theft of lifetime savings,� said Dan Montgomery, president of the Illinois Federation of Teachers, another member of the We Are One Illinois union coalition fighting pension reforms. With the 2014 campaigns underway, it is not an argument lawmakers can ignore. In the 2010 election cycle – when Illinois last had a governor’s race and several other statewide contests on the ballot – public sector unions donated nearly $12 million to various candidates, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics. In 2012, they contributed $7.4 million to races for Illinois House and Senate and for judicial contests. The unions also are able to quickly mobilize forces to work for – or against – a candidate or issue, with

local chapters throughout the state and a welltuned system for pushing information out to members. Crucial to the new plan’s passage or failure this week are Democratic senators from moderate swing districts where election opponents can hammer them for inaction on pension reform or for being too tough on state employees. The 59-member Senate is seen as more union-friendly than the House; last spring it voted down a House-backed plan that contained a number of similar costcutting measures as the new proposal. Instead, the Senate approved a reform bill more sympathetic to state employees and backed by the unions, but with less cost-savings. House Speaker Michael Madigan, also a Chicago
Democrat, never called it for a vote in his chamber, creating resentment among the unions. State Sen. Dan Kotowski, of Park Ridge, is one of the lawmakers who voted against the earlier more stringent, House-backed plan, yet he also stresses the urgent need to act. He says he has been conferring with the unions. “I’m keeping an open mind,� Kotowski said on Friday. State Sen. Michael Noland of Elgin said it will be a difficult decision since he represents a notably independent voting district he calls “as purple as it gets.� “At this point,� Noland said, “I’m waiting to hear from my constituents who happen to be stakeholders and those who are not who are coming to understand the magnitude of what this means.�

Do not hurry to get on lead
Grizzwells by Bill Schorr
Inexperienced players often find it difficult to sacrifice a trick when it can be won. This deal, as you have no doubt surmised, is an example. South is in four hearts. West leads the spade ace: five, seven, four. West continues with the spade king: jack, two, 10. West perseveres with the spade queen. How should South proceed? West had an excellent hand for a weak two-bid in this age of the flimsy pre-empt. North overcalled three clubs. Then South might have bid a forcing three hearts, but he decided that four hearts rated to be the best contract. West noticed East’s highlow in spades and was not distracted by South’s false-
card with his 10. West led a third spade, hoping East could overruff the dummy. And at the table, that was exactly what happened. Declarer ruffed the third spade
with dummy’s heart eight. But East overruffed with the 10 and shifted to the diamond king. Suddenly, South saw that he was stranded on the board. Whether he returned a diamond or played three rounds of clubs, discarding his last diamond, declarer had to lose another trick and go down one. South, of course, complained he was unlucky that East had the heart 10. But given the 6-2 spade break, East was more likely to hold that trump. Instead, South should have discarded from the dummy at trick three. He could have won whatever West led next, drawn trumps (the heart eight still being in the dummy), and run the clubs. Consider the possibilities carefully. © 2013 UFS

LIGHTED CHRISTMAS PARADE IN PROPHETSTOWN

Trees donated by the Prophetstown branch of IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union light up as people watch the lighted Christmas parade Saturday evening. The seven trees take up the space that once was filled with the eight buildings in downtown Prophetstown that were destroyed in a July 15 fire. The trees were planted and decorated with about 2,000 lights each. The lights were turned on and synced with Christmas music Saturday.

CHRISTMAS WALK IN DIXON
Walker killed in fiery crash
Of peeking interest
‘Fast & Furious’ star’s close friend also dies in wreck
Collection adds glitz to windows, will raise money
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Investigators sought to determine the cause of a fiery crash that killed “Fast & Furious� star Paul Walker while the actor’s fans erected a makeshift memorial Sunday near where the Porsche he was riding in smashed into a light pole and tree. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said speed was a factor in Saturday’s one-car crash, though it will take time to determine how fast the car was going. Because Walker is so closely associated with the underground culture of street racing portrayed in the popular “Fast & Furious� film franchise, the fatal accident had an eerie quality – a tragic end for a Hollywood hero of speed.

HEALTH CARE
Website gets cleaner bill of health Officials: Many bugs, equipment issues must still be tackled WASHINGTON (AP) – The worst of the online glitches, crashes and delays may be over for the problem-plagued government health care website, the Department of Health and Human Services said Sunday. But that doesn’t mean HealthCare.gov is ready for a clean bill of health. Officials acknowledged more work remains on the website that included hundreds of software bugs, inadequate equipment and ineffi-
cient management for its national debut two months ago. Federal workers and private contractors have undertaken an intense reworking of the system, but the White House’s chief troubleshooter cautioned some users could still encounter trouble. “The bottom line – HealthCare.gov on Dec. 1 is night and day from where it was on Oct. 1,� Jeff Zients told reporters. More than 50,000 people can log on to the website at one time, and more than 800,000 people will
be able to shop for insurance coverage each day, the government estimated in a report released Sunday. If true, it’s a dramatic improvement from the system’s first weeks, when frustrated buyers watched their computer screen freeze, the website crash and error messages multiply. The figures – which could not be independently verified – suggest millions of Americans could turn to their laptops to shop for and buy insurance policies by the Dec. 23 deadline.
DIXON – Shoppers passing through downtown Dixon this holiday season may see a few more special displays than normal, thanks to one local resident.

OREGON – Two days. Two sports. Two championships. One day after the Newman football team won the Class 2A state championship, five players from that team helped the Comets basketball team win two games and the Oregon Thanksgiving Tournament title on Saturday. Still without five other football players, Newman defeated St. Noah Bede on Saturday McCarty afternoon before Newman nipping Genoasophomore Kingston 59-55 in Saturday night’s championship game at the Blackhawk Center. “It was tiring. We’re still in football shape. The football players were getting fatigued,” said Comets guard A.J. Sharp, the football team’s quarterback, who scored a game-high 20 points in the championship.

OUTDOOR ADVENTURES
Giving thanks to outdoors W
ell it is Friday night, and I have had two awesome Thanksgiving dinners. I lost count, or actually I stopped counting at four the number of pieces of sweet pumpkin pie that I consumed. So there goes the girlish figure, but if it is gonna go, there is no better way to lose it let me tell ya. I am just glad I don’t get many more stabs at all that pumpkin goodness, or I might have to take the boat in for more flotation. Anyhow, what a great holiday weekend. I thought many times over the past week of all the things that the lord has blessed me with, and the list is a long one. Since I don’t have time to ramble on for pages, I thought I’d touch on a few things that have transpired this season in the outdoors that I am very thankful for. First thing first is just the return of the Rock River as a fishing pow-

erhouse. Now, there might not be as many big fish just yet, but the numbers are back, the water is clean and the fish are healthy as horses. Back in June of 2009, this day seemed like light years away, but it is here. Many people are to thank, and every fisherman, who took it upon themselves to release a few fish they would have normally kept, played a lot bigger role than they might think. So, in this case, one person can make a difference. So the Rock and its future are very bright. It is up to us to protect and maintain it

DeKALB – Junior quarterback Gabe Green rushed for 145 yards and three touchdowns to help Sacred Heart-Griffin to a 38-28 win against Montini in Saturday’s 5A state championship at Huskie Stadium. Sacred Heart-Griffin (14-0) recovered from a 21-7 first quarter deficit with a defensive effort that shut down the Broncos.

Mairs gets rolling in third quarter START
CONTINUED FROM B1
“Dollmeyer did a real fantastic job of working his tail off inside,� Polo coach Matt Messer said. “His teammates were able to find him, and the thing that helped him was that we got him in early offense, before they were able to get help over onto him. Even when he didn’t have a good look, he was able to power up through a lot of plays and score.� With Dollmeyer on the bench for most of the third quarter, AFC big man Troy Mairs took advantage. The senior knocked down five shots and a pair of free throws to tally 13 of his 24 points in the quarter. However, like most of the night, the Marcos found an answer to Mairs. That answer was Brian Cavanaugh. The athletic winger started the quarter perfect from the field on four attempts, all coming from explosive drives that ended with easy finishes around the rim. “I just try to play as fast as I can.� Cavanaugh said. “Try to push the ball and get my teammates open by driving hard to the lane, and finding them. Usually I am looking for AJ inside. We have a lot of options to go to, but I just found some holes that I drove into,

With Dollmeyer focusing on Maris, Gittleson started making shots. After knocking down two layups, Gittlesone snapped from behind the arc by hitting three
straight 3-pointers. Mairs and Gittleson combined for 31 of AFC’s 38 second-half points. Polo answered with Dollmeyer, who closed the game out with a prefect shooting percentage after hitting three from the free-throw line and four buckets down low. In the end, Dollmeyer won the battle of the bigs.
“Mairs is a great player.� Dollmeyer said. “Every time we see each other, its always a battle between us. He is a great player, and we kept going back and fourth.� Both big men finished with double doubles with Mairs scoring 24 points and grabbing 18 boards. Polo won the rebound and turnover battles, 44-38 and 18-14 respectively. Tightening up on defense is what sealed the deal, as the Marcos eventually shut down Mairs and Gittleson to quiet the AFC offense. “Fourth quarter, we just made a concerted effort to make sure we knew where he [Mairs] was at and try to at least get a hand in his face,� Messer said. “In the third quarter, we were losing him, and he was burying shots time after time. We just made a more concerned effort, and we tried to on Gittleson in the fourth quarter, but he just kept burying shots on us.�

Wide right, left out Missed field goal puts Bears behind in NFC North hunt BY DAVE CAMPBELL !0 0RO &OOTBALL 7RITER
MINNEAPOLIS – Robbie Gould’s voice cracked as he reflected on a rare miss. Hours after the birth of his son, a weary Gould kept the Chicago Bears from winning in overtime by pulling his 47-yard try slightly to the right on the most bittersweet of Sundays for one of the NFL’s most accurate kickers. Adrian Peterson rushed for 211 yards and Blair Walsh kicked a 34-yard field goal in the extra period to lift the Minnesota Vikings to a wild 23-20 victory over the Bears. “I’m happy for my wife and my little boy. Sorry I couldn’t do it for my teammates like I did for my wife this morning,� said Gould, who arrived in Minnesota about 6 hours before the game after welcoming his first child into the world. Gould’s 66-yard field goal fell a few yards short as regulation ended. He entered the game with the second-best career percentage in league history among those with 100 or more field goals made. “I make that kick a lot. I’ve just got to step up and make it. I just didn’t do it,� Gould said. “That game could’ve cost us the playoffs, and that’s on my shoulders.� Bears coach Marc Trestman made a point of absolving Gould of the blame. “At the end of the day, we didn’t get it done. The accountability starts with me,� Trestman said, adding: “Robbie didn’t lose the game for us. There’s a lot of different ways. No one play loses the game.� Alshon Jeffery had 12 catches for 249 yards and two touchdowns, and Matt Forte rushed 23 times for 120 yards for the Bears (6-6), who led 20-10 until midway through the fourth quarter. They converted only two of 11 third downs and punted seven times, rendering Josh McCown’s season-high 355 yards passing less remarkable. “My emotions aren’t really just stuck on this game. It’s this season,� said wide receiver Brandon Marshall. “Anything still can happen. You never know. We’ve seen some crazy things in the past. But it [stinks]. We want to get to the playoffs. We want to win. A lot of people in this organization deserve it. A lot of people in this

Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery catches a 46-yard touchdown pass over Vikings cornerback Chris Cook (20) during Sunday’s game in Minneapolis. Jeffery had a team-record 249 receiving yards in the 23-20 overtime loss. city deserve it. And for us not to get it done today put us behind the 8-ball a little more.â€? The Bears trail Detroit by one game in the NFC North with four games to go, but after falling to 2-3 in the division the Bears can’t win the tiebreaker with the Lions. “We need some help from some other teams to put us back in position. I don’t know how it’s going to work out, but we just have to keep our eye on the prize,â€? said left tackle Jermon Bushrod in a somber locker room. Julius Peppers had 2½ sacks, half of his team’s total, but the defense missing five injured starters also faltered in critical situations. In overtime, the Bears caught a break. Walsh made a 39-yard field goal that would’ve ended the game, but Rhett Ellison was flagged for a face-mask penalty
while trying to block Devin Hester. Peterson was thrown for a 3-yard loss, and Walsh’s 57-yard try hit the bottom of the left upright. Forte ran five times for 24 yards to give the Bears the ball at the 29. On second-and-7, with 4:12 remaining, Trestman sent Gould out to try to win the game. “I don’t care if it was first down. I believe in Robbie Gould. That’s a chip shot for him. So if it was first down, I’d put all my money on him,� Marshall said. Trestman said he was confident in the decision, too. “I just felt we were in range, and let’s get it done. I’ve seen it happen many times before,� he said. With their second straight tie looming, the Vikings went 47 yards the other way in seven plays. Walsh nailed this one, capping the unlikely comeback.
That’s one that got away T
he Bears 23-20 loss to the Minnesota Vikings signaled a new low point for the 2013 season. It changes the conversation for the remainder of the season. In a game in which both clubs did almost everything they could to lose it, the Vikings won. The Bears have done worse than six penalties for 51 yards, but rarely have they played dumber or less disciplined. With 14 minutes left, holding a 10-point lead, it seemed like the Bears could start thinking about the Cowboys. Then they allowed the Vikings to march 89 yards on 13 plays and, at 20-17 with a little over 7 minutes remaining, it was a game again. What followed was beyond embarrassing for both teams. On second-and-11 from his own 19, as the Vikings pass rush closed on him, instead of taking the sack Josh McCown attempted to shovel the ball to Matt Forte, and it was deflected to Kyle Long. To his credit, Long caught the ball. Then he fumbled it. Two plays later, the Vikings were third and 6 at the Bears’ 14 and Jon Bostic stopped Chase Ford for a 2-yard gain to set up a tying field goal attempt, until Bostic was flagged for a taunting penalty, giving the Vikings new life at the Bears’ 6. But the Vikings were not going to be outdone, or out-dumbed. Just

Bears tackle Jermon Bushrod (left) and Vikings defensive tackle Kevin Williams scramble for a loose ball during Sunday’s game in Minneapolis. two plays later, Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel threw the ball to Khaseem Greene at the Bears’ 1-yard line. The Bears rookie returned the pick 49 yards to midfield. With a little over 6 minutes left, great field position and a chance to put the game away, the Bears instead went three and out and gave the ball right back to the Vikings, who drove 82 yards for the tying 30-yard field goal. One would think, with 480 yards of total offense, the Bears did enough to win. But those totals are misleading when you realize that 126 yards of it came on two big touchdown tosses to Alshon Jeffery of 80 and 46 yards, and the fact that the Bears were an abysmal 2-for-11 on third down.
This loss also had two new culprits. McCown had gaudy numbers again, going 23-for-36, 355 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. But a closer look will show he was just 4-for-9 on third down and, for the second week in a row, he had an interception nullified by penalty. McCown has been a nice placeholder for Jay Cutler and he’ll make plays, but he doesn’t make enough big plays to win big. Then there’s the head coach. While there is much to like about Marc Trestman, his game management becomes more curious with each game. After the Vikings again refused to allow the Bears to lose, committing a facemask penalty to
wipe out a 39-yard Blair Walsh game–winning field goal at 8:04 of the overtime, the Bears took over at their own 47 and drove to a first down at the Vikings 32. With a decision that should cost Trestman sleep well into next year, he elected to send Robbie Gould out to try a 47-yard field goal on second-and-7 following a 3-yard Matt Forte run. On third down, maybe to allow for bad snaps or false starts, you kick early. But on second down, I don’t care how good your kicker is, you don’t go from 47 when you’ve moved the ball well all day long. Of course, he missed. What we thought was a slightly better than mediocre team with a shot at the playoffs is now officially a bad team and playoff talk is over. While it is true it is players who win or lose football games, this Bears loss was one where the head coach surely pitched in as well. Collectively, they gave away a game and pushed all of their hopes to next season.

Auburn cornerback Chris Davis (11) returns a missed field-goal attempt 109 yards to score the game-winning touchdown as time expired in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against No. 1 Alabama in Auburn, Ala. The Tigers won 34-28.
SURPRISE, SURPRISE SEC title game will feature two Tigers, no Crimson Tide BY PAUL NEWBERRY Associated Press
ATLANTA – Talk about an SEC surprise. Just a year ago, the Auburn Tigers won all of three games and fired their coach. Just a year ago, the Missouri Tigers looked very much like a school that had no business joining the mighty Southeastern Conference. Well, look at the matchup for Saturday’s championship game. Tigers vs. Tigers. “We’re playing a very good Missouri team that’s very similar to us,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “I think about both teams being very hungry. We were both kind of down at the bottom at the start of the year. But we’ve improved. I feel like we’ve improved each game. They would probably say the same thing.” Indeed, that’s exactly what Missouri coach Gary Pinkel says. “We just kept getting better,” he said Sunday. “Our kids played hard every single game at a very high level. I’ve been around a lot of good football teams, but I’ve rarely been around a team like that, playing at the level they did on a consistent basis.” No. 3 Auburn (11-1, 7-1 SEC) earned its trip to Atlanta with one of the most remarkable victories in college football history, returning a missed field goal 109 yards for the winning touchdown on the final play to beat two-time defending national champion Alabama 34-28.

Northern Illinois Farther down the latest standings, the competition to become the last BCS buster is now a one-team race after Fresno State lost to San Jose State. It’s all about Northern Illinois now. The undefeated Huskies from the Mid-American Conference remained 14th in the standings this week. NIU, looking for its second straight BCS bid, plays Bowling Green in the MAC title game on Friday night. The Huskies can earn an automatic BCS bid two ways: s &INISH IN THE TOP OF the final BCS standings. s &INISH IN THE TOP OF the final standings, ahead of an automatic qualifying conference champion. The Huskies used the latter route to get to the BCS last season with one loss. It could happen again this season. Central Florida, in line to win the American and earn its first automatic "#3 BID IS RANKED TH IN the latest standings and plays SMU on Saturday. It doesn’t seem likely that the Knights (10-1) will pass the Huskies, so the only thing standing in the way of Northern Illinois and the BCS is Bowling Green. NIU would most likely play in the Fiesta Bowl.

The Comets (4-0) trailed WITH LESS THAN minutes to play before responding with a 12-0 tear that propelled them to victory. First, John Payan, who scored eight points and was named to the alltournament team, stuck back his own miss. After the Cogs missed four straight free throws, .EWMAN S FOOT SOPHomore sensation Noah McCarty scored three
points on a free throw and a strong inside move for a bucket. McCarty, also an all-tournament selection, SCORED OF HIS POINTS in the second half. “I was pretty disappointed in my firsthalf effort,” McCarty said. “I talked to my dad [Newman assistant Ryan McCarty], and he believed that I needed to step up in order for us to come back.” Sharp scored off a steal to give Newman its first lead since the first quarTER WITH TO play.
McCarty hit one of two free throws before Sharp knocked down a pair. A bucket by McCarty off a feed from Sharp gave the Comets a 51-44 lead with 1:54 remaining.

Sharp iced the game with two more free throws with 1.2 ticks left. Sharp scored 12 points in the fourth quarter,
including going 10-for-10 from the free-throw line. “I shot 4-for-7 from the line in the first game,” Sharp said. “I really wanted to make up for that.” “We played about seven guys at the start of the tournament, including two sophomores,” Newman coach Ray Sharp said. “Those guys got us to the point where we could win the tournament. That’s a team tournament win.” Tommy Lucca and Tommy Hansen scored 11 points apiece for the Cogs.
