STERLING – Hey, Sterling High School students: Interested in agriculture, but you didn’t grow up on, or even around, a farm? That’s OK. Neither did your new agriculture instructor and FFA adviser.

Elise Baker, 22, has loved horses since she was knee-high to a grasshopper.

“When I was little, every horse I could possibly see, I had to get on,” the New Len-

Challand Middle School agriculture education instructor Julie LeFevre (left) and first-year Sterling High ag teacher Elise Baker talk about the school district’s new FFA chapter Thursday afternoon in the courtyard outside Challand.

nox native and Illinois State graduate said.

“Whether it was the one at the supermarket or the live one at the state fair, I had to get on it.”

Her family had a garden, and “it just kind of tumbled on from there,” Baker said.

“I went to college and I didn’t want to sit behind a desk. I wanted to interact with people. But I’m not very good at math. I’m OK at science, and I’m awful at English. If I can bring a different perspective for students, that’s amazing.

Sterling Police Officer Clay Hadley enters a room at the Whiteside Area Career Center on Thursday during an active shooter exercise. Police, firefighters and EMS took part in the training and learned how to work together to safely and efficiently take down the threat, secure the building, and get victims to safety. Public safety agencies take advantage of students’ time off for summer vacation by honing their skills to respond to a shooter on school grounds. Lee County public safety personnel conducted similar training in Dixon last week. Go to saukvalley.com for video, and more photos, of Thursday’s training.

STERLING – The city put any speculation to rest about who its future police chief would be with an official announcement Thursday that Tim Morgan was its final choice.

Morgan, a 23-year department veteran, was appointed to succeed retiring chief Ron Potthoff on Jan. 18.

Morgan was never given the interim tag because the mayor and then-City Attorney Ron Coplan told him there was no such position in Sterling.

“I had questions the day after the Tim appointment, and I was told there’s Morgan no such thing as an interim chief,” Morgan said.

Despite the confusion over semantics, at first the appointment wasn’t necessarily a permanent one.

WHITESIDE COUNTY

Vandalism under bridges prompts September trial safety talks with city, parks leaders date set in felony Resident calls for more video surveillance after rash of incidents sexual contact case DIXON – A resident is pushing for more security measures under the Peoria and Galena Avenue bridges because of recent vandalism and drug activity in the area.

Tina Coffey approached the City Council on Monday to propose installing security cameras under the bridges, where students and children often walk, as well as increasing patrols at Howell Park.

She said the area is littered with syringes and other drug paraphernalia making an unsafe environment for children. “That presents a public safety issue as well as a public health issue,� she said.

A memorial bench was destroyed at Howell Park last month. “We have a group of rowdy teenagers that

seems to be getting larger,� Coffey said.

Mayor Li Arellano Jr. said the concerns will be passed along to the Dixon Police Department, and that it would be possible to draft an intergovernmental agreement between the city and the park district to enhance security measures.

Deb Carey, executive director of the Park District, said parks can be a magnet for vandalism and illegal activity.

The park district has addressed several instances of vandalism in the past few months, including a vehicle tear-

ing through Page Park damaging the grass, spray-painted graffiti at Lowell Park, and the smashed bench at Howell Park.

The district has installed security cameras in some areas, including Page Park and Lowell Park, in the hopes of deterring vandalism

and drug activity, and the district also employs security personnel from Freeport-based Stewart and Associates to police the park system.

A wooded area that concealed a parking lot at a Lowell Park shelter was also cut back to improve visibility from the main road.

Park Board President Shane Miller said having to repair vandalism can be costly to the park district and takes away from the parks’ purpose of serving families and community members. “It’s unfortunate that a few rotten apples spoil [it] for everybody,� Miller said. “The parks are meant for clean, fun recreational activity, not for illegal activity.�

Coffey said the riverfront and Howell Park represent the face of the city, and the area needs to be safe and clean. “We need to engage the community in fighting this,� she said.

Court documents state both incidents occurred between November 2015 and February 2016.

Galena Avenue should be open today D

IXON – The steady stream of traffic is likely to return to South Galena Avenue this weekend.

City Manager Cole O’Donnell said Thursday that the Illinois Department of Transportation has inspected and approved the repairs to South Galena Avenue, and after some cleanup and road striping work, the road should be open by 6 p.m. today.

The closure on Galena between First and Second streets began July 10 after a water main break halted traffic on the city’s busiest roadway.

The break in the 70-plus-year infrastructure of the main stretched 4 inches and was gushing water, at its height, at a rate of 3,000 gallons per minute.

With the collapse of West Seventh Street last year not far from the minds of city staff and community members,

Downtown grant program The city is looking into easing the burden on business owners to bring their buildings up to code.

During Monday’s council meeting, Mayor Li Arellano Jr. introduced the concept of the city developing a downtown

grant program to benefit businesses and potential developers with fulfilling unfunded building code mandates.

Vacant buildings riddled with costly code issues can be unappealing for developers, and code enforcement can bog down local business owners and hinder them from using excess funds for expansion or renovation, he said.

“It can be a huge burden for potential developers,” he said.

DIXON – A 35-yearold Dixon man is in Lee County Jail after being charged Wednesday with four counts of aggravated sexual abuse.

Dixon Police Detective Sgt. Steve Howell said Dustin J. Weaver was already in jail on a felony charge of driving with a revoked license when

police served him with an arrest warrant the day after they began investigating a report of sexual abuse against two individuals under 18.

Dustin J. Weaver Three of the felony counts involved a child younger than 14, and the fourth count involved a

AP

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks Wednesday during a campaign town hall at Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. After a spate of recent controversies, Trump faces sinking poll numbers and campaign morale.

Trump conflict overshadows digs at Clinton Obama wades deeper into fray PORTLAND, Maine (AP) – Donald Trump’s warning that the November election might be rigged is “ridiculous,” President Barack Obama declared on Thursday, wading deeper into the 2016 campaign. Anxious Republicans, meanwhile, struggled to move attention from their own infighting to Democratic foe Hillary Clinton.

The feud between the GOP’s presidential nominee and Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan again overshadowed Trump’s Clinton criticism, underscoring the rising concerns from party leaders over the New York billionaire’s unorthodox candidacy and its impact on the future of the party.

Facing sinking poll numbers and campaign morale, Trump has questioned the integrity of the nation’s election system in recent days.

“I never heard of somebody complaining about being cheated before the game is over,” Obama said dur-

ing a Thursday press conference.

“My suggestion would be: Go out there and try to win the election.”

Trump, meanwhile, refused for another day to endorse Ryan, his party’s top elected official.

The Republican speaker has declared his support for Trump, but he said such endorsements aren’t “blank checks” and pledged to speak out against the businessman’s divisive positions if necessary. Most recently, that means Trump’s sustained criticism of an American Muslim family whose son, U.S. Army Capt.

Humayun Khan, was killed in Iraq.

“I don’t like doing this,” Ryan told a Wisconsin radio station. “I don’t want to do this, but I will do this because I feel I have to in order to defend Republicans, and our principles, so that people don’t make the mistake of thinking we think like that.”

The day before, vice presidential nominee Mike Pence broke with Trump and endorsed Ryan.

Rep. Kinzinger says he cannot support Trump CHICAGO (AP) – Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger says he cannot support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

During an appearance Wednesday on CNN, Kinzinger said he is unlikely to vote for Trump because the nominee was “beginning to cross a lot of red lines of the unforgivable in politics.”

CBS-Chicago reports that in an email, Kinzinger’s spokeswoman Maura Gillespie wrote the 16th District congressman has said he wants to support Trump. However, Kinzinger “doesn’t see a path to get there at this time.”

In the statement, Gillespie said Kinzinger will support his colleagues in Illinois and the Con-

gress, and “continue to put the good of the country above partisan politics.”

During an interview last week with the Sauk Valley Media Editorial Board in Dixon, Kinzinger said he was still wrestling with endorsing his party’s nominee, calling Trump’s comments on Russia and Hillary Clinton’s emails “completely reckless.”

Kinzinger added, “I think I’ll know it when I see it,” as far as what Trump would have to do or say to earn the congressman’s support.

Republican frustrations with Trump grew Wednesday as party leaders scrambled to persuade him to abandon divisive tactics that have triggered sinking poll numbers and low morale.

ILLINOIS

Rauner surprises GOP with stance on birth control, abortions Governor signs bills approved without a single Republican vote SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner has clashed with Illinois Democrats on big issues like the state budget and the influence of unions, but he recently bucked the party line on legislation the GOP

has fervently opposed: Expanding birth control coverage and access to abortions.

Not a single Republican voted in favor of either bill.

So last week, Rauner surprised some Repub-

lican legislators and angered conservative groups when he signed both Democrat-sponsored measures. One of them extends insurance coverage for nearly all contraceptives and the other requires physicians who refuse to perform abortions or other health care services for moral and religious reasons to

provide information to patients on where they can go instead.

Immediately after Rauner’s decision, the head of one religious group called him a traitor, and some conservative lawmakers were befuddled.

“I’m still trying to digest that,” Republican state Rep. Thomas Morrison

said when asked about the governor’s decision to sign the bill to offer information regarding abortion providers.

“My primary objection was due to the fact that it violates religious freedom rights and also free speech rights,” said Morrison, who along with several other Republicans met with Rauner before

he signed the proposal to express their concerns.

The signings highlight a side of the governor’s ideology that gets little attention as he wages a war against Democrats to change the political landscape of Illinois by trying to weaken unions, pushing for term limits, and calling for the state to be more pro-business.

Teacher: There’s more to farming than just cows, plows and sows AG COURSES

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

“I don’t fit the norm, and I’m OK with it.”

After all, modern ag goes way beyond the fenceline.

“When people think about agriculture, they think of cows, plows and sows,” Baker said.

“We’re so much more than that now. We’re business classes, marketing classes and communication. We’re collectors of everything.

We can teach a variety of things.”

She’ll teach two environmental science classes starting this fall, as well as a biotech class that will turn into an animal science class at the end of the semester, a business class and, of course, an intro to ag industry class.

In offering ag classes, the district can finally have an FFA program for the first time in at least 20 years, and the group will include Challand Middle School eighthgraders. After hiring Baker, the district took another step in converting social studies teacher Julie LeFevre into an eighth-grade agriculture instructor.

LeFevre, 38, conversely, did grow up on a farm, near Kankakee. She served as her local 4-H chapter’s president, and was her FFA chapter president, too, making her well-versed in the gospel she and Baker will be sharing with teens this fall.

“I’m an ag girl at heart,” LeFevre said. “I’m excited for everyone to understand the scope of agriculture – from ag business, to farming to the food we eat and the products we use. It’s a farming and ag community, a small community.

Our smalltown family values tie right in.”

Baker was excited to move to a small town, making her and LeFevre more like peas in a pod than yin and yang.

“We complement each other so well,” LeFevre said.

After teaching ag at Bureau Valley High School, LeFevre took time to be a stay-athome mom after she had her twins, Blake and Alicia, now 11. Soon, however, she started subbing again, throughout Whiteside County schools.

“A little bit of everything in my classroom is from what I gained watching other teachers throughout Whiteside County,” she said.

One of her former BV students, Sarah Conner, is the ag instructor in Prophetstown, and there have been rumblings –

FFA chapter info Any student who takes an agriculture class at Sterling High is eligible to join the school district’s FFA chapter. Dues are $12 per year, which go to the national and state FFA groups, then typically go back to the local chapter through fundraising opportunities, according to firstyear Sterling High ag teacher Elise Baker.

While the state FFA group likes to have its underlying chapters’ rosters by Nov. 1, it’s a soft deadline, Baker said, and kids can join the chapter at any time.

Email Baker at ebaker@sps5.org, or Challand Middle School eighth-grader teacher Julie LeFevre at jlefevre@sps5.org for more information.

“Ag education is something the [Sterling] community has been longing for,” LeFevre said.

“But, more than ‘Why isn’t there?”, it was ‘How can we? How can we be part of that?’ It was always with a positive attitude. That’s how this community got this.”

Challand Middle School will also offer a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) elective, which, LeFevre said, will go “hand-in-hand” with ag, and an Ag Club will be added at the middle school – you know, the sort of opportunity Baker would have leapt at as a middle-schooler.

“In high school, I didn’t fit in with the band kids; I didn’t fit in with the art kids; I was just kind of there,” “That’s what I want my classroom to kind of collect: kids who don’t have a home. But I also want it to be a home for kids who have homes in other places.”

Baker polished off her ag education degree this past spring, and said the prospect of starting a program while starting her full-time teacher career is daunting but thrilling.

“Every emotion you can possibly think about is going through my head,” she said. “It’s like drinking from the firehose as a first-year teacher, and I love it. I love drinking from the firehose.”

IRAN PAYMENT

Obama: We didn’t pay ransom WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama vigorously denied on Thursday that a $400 million cash payment to Iran was ransom to secure the release of four Americans jailed in Tehran. He defended the transaction as evidence that the nuclear accord with Iran has allowed for progress on other matters.

“This wasn’t some nefarious deal,” Obama said during a news conference at the Pentagon.

The money was delivered to the Iranian government in January, at the same time the nuclear deal was settled and the Americans were released.

The payment was part of a decades-old dispute over a failed military equipment deal dating to the 1970s, before the Islamic revolution in 1979.

He pointed out that the payment, along with an additional $1.3 billion in interest to be paid later, was announced by the administration when it

Obama also answered political questions at the news conference, pushing back at Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s suggestions that the November election might be rigged, calling the assertion “ridiculous.” He said his advice to Trump, a candidate he has declared “unfit” for the presidency, was to “go out there and try to win the election.”

Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton will soon be receiving classified briefings, giving them access to sensitive information about national security and America’s military posture. Asked whether he was worried about Trump having access to such material, Obama said simply that those who want to be president need to start acting like it.

City Council backs choice for chief CHIEF

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

“The appointment was intended to fill the vacancy while a plan was developed to recruit and select the next chief,” said City Manager Scott Shumard, who is responsible for hiring the position.

Morgan said the lack of clarity didn’t change his approach to the job.

“After the appointment, I conducted myself as chief from that day forward,” Morgan said. “I figured it was their prerogative to find someone else.”

After 7 months on the job, the city decided to abandon any plans to conduct a search. Shumard said the decision was based on positive feedback from department employees, the community, and City Council members.

“The union president told me he was the right person, and that it would be a waste of time and resources to do a search,” Shumard said.

Shumard said the police chief position carries extraordinary expectations from the department and the public.

“The chief must understand organizational, policing and community needs while remaining sensitive to the expectations of a first-class department by the council and the public,” Shumard said.

Shumard said he has

full confidence that Morgan is the “right person at the right time” to meet those demands.

The police chief selection doesn’t require the council’s approval, but Shumard did meet with them in closed session after Monday’s council meeting.

“The council was OK with us foregoing the

process of searching for other candidates – it was unanimous,” Shumard said.

Morgan said he was never told a search would be conducted, but as time went by, he was kept guessing.

“I’d be lying if I said I didn’t wonder what was going on, but I just came to work every day and

did the job like I was the permanent chief,” Morgan said.

The chief said he’s glad a final decision has been made, and he just wants to keep moving forward. He has received full compensation as a department head since his appointment in January.

Morgan started his career as a patrol officer in 1993, after serving in the Army. He was on the Blackhawk Area Task Force for several years before being promoted to sergeant. He had been a lieutenant for 6 years prior to being named chief.

Illinois Obamacare rate shock With higher and higher costs, the law is unraveling Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

On Monday, Illinois citizens were jolted by a piercing pain in the wallet as federal officials unveiled proposed Obamacare insurance premium rates for 2017.

Insurers plan to dial up rates as much as a heartstopping 45 percent for those who buy plans on the Obamacare marketplace when open enrollment starts Nov. 1.

That means thousands of people will scramble for affordable insurance – and won’t find it.

Is this rate shock unforeseen? Not really. Rocketing Obamacare rate requests have become an annual rite of summer, as welcome as sunstroke.

In California, for instance, Obamacare health coverage is slated to rise by an average of 13.2 percent next year – more than three times the increase in each of the past 2 years. In Michigan, the pass-the-smell-

ing-salts proposal is 17.3 percent.

No wonder that even before the Illinois rates were released, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officials sought to cushion the blow with a hey-it’sreally-not-so-bad news release. The feds reminded Americans that proposed rates may be ratcheted back by state regulators. And that people can “shop around” for the best coverage and “vote with their feet.”

In other words: Nothing to see here, folks. Just move along.

A hefty premium increase, however, is like a shadow on an X-ray. It portends bigger Obamacare problems to come.

BLUE CROSS AND Blue Shield of Illinois, the state’s dominant Obamacare insurer, is proposing rate increases from 23 percent to 45 percent for its individual plans.

BCBS President Maurice Smith says that rates are rising to meet costs.

“In 2015, for every dollar BCBSIL collected in individual premiums, we spent $1.32 buying care for and providing services to our members,” Smith writes. “This is not sustainable.”

Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

You know what else isn’t sustainable? Obamacare.

That’s not only about Americans deciding they can’t afford insurance and opting to pay the tax penalty instead of buying coverage.

Industry giant UnitedHealthcare has already voted with its feet, exiting most exchanges, including Illinois, for 2017. Others may follow, fleeing the markets because the medical bills are higher than the companies or officials in Washington expected.

That’s why Obamacare’s prognosis is grim unless the next president and Congress wheel the patient into the operating room for extensive surgery, stat. Americans

Eat healthier with vegan diet HEATHER MOORE Norfolk, Virginia

The new mayor of Turin, Italy, knows how to start things off right: She just promised to promote vegan living during her administration, saying that it’s essential for protecting the environment, human health, and the well-being of animals.

I sure hope U.S. politicians are listening.

Research shows that vegans are less likely to suffer from heart disease, diabetes, and cancer than their meat-eating

What do you think?

Let us know. Write your own letter to the editor and send it to: letters@saukvalley. com counterparts, and that vegans are responsible for 2.5 times fewer foodrelated greenhouse-gas emissions.

Institute of Social Ecology in Vienna researchers believe that the only way to meet the expected global food demand in the year 2050 – without sacrificing any forests – is for everyone to go vegan.

Because meat and other animal-based foods

are so detrimental, the Chinese government is pledging to cut the country’s meat consumption in half, and the Netherlands is advising people not to eat any more than two servings of meat per week.

Let’s do our part to help animals and the environment – and to reduce our skyrocketing health care costs – by eating tasty vegan foods rather than meat, eggs, and dairy products.

AS FOR NEXT YEAR’S coverage, here’s the lesson from 2016: Caveat emptor, Obamacare customers. Shop around, sure. But remember how tens of thousands of people voted with their feet last year for a lower-cost wider-network option offered by Land of Lincoln Health.

These customers had quality, affordable care – until they didn’t. Federal officials forced state regulators to shutter Land of Lincoln midyear because of its financial problems.

Thousands of policyholders now are scrambling for new policies, which likely means higher costs and even greater out-of-pocket expenses.

Those policyholders are learning the hard way that Obamacare is ailing. Customers struggle to pay premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.

Many will pay more for less. Insurers struggle to eke out a profit or control losses.

You don’t need an X-ray machine to reveal the truth: The law is unraveling.

THEY WORK FOR YOU State Rep. Tom Demmer (R-Dixon), 90th District 1221 Currency Court, Suite B, Rochelle, IL 61068; 815-561-3690

Illinois Democrats who gathered last week in Philadelphia appeared to be more focused on 2018 than 2016. Two familiar names were being tossed about as potential challengers to Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Dick Durbin, Illinois’ senior senator and the party’s minority whip in the U.S. Senate, told reporters that his top priority is the 2016 presidential election. But he didn’t deny that he has considering taking on Rauner.

Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, who also serves as the state party chairman, added to the speculation by saying Durbin would be “uniquely qualified for the job.”

Durbin’s longevity, political history and name recognition would make him the favorite. A poll conducted by We Ask America, an independent subsidiary of Xpress Professional Services in Oak Brook, says half of Illinois Democrats prefer Durbin as their party’s gubernatorial candidate. Politico reports that Durbin will make a decision after the November election.

Chris Kennedy, the former chairman of the University of Illinois Board of Trustees and a son of the late Robert F. Kennedy, also attracted attention in Philadelphia — not all of it welcomed. Speaking to the Illinois delegation, Kennedy lambasted Rauner for his proposals to reel in unions and his inability to fashion a state budget.

Unlike most aspiring politicians, Kennedy became microphone-shy after his well-received address.

Reporters rushed up to him, asking him questions about his political future.

Instead of answering, he got on an elevator, which became stuck as reporters tried to get in. An awkward exchange ensued, and later Kennedy said reporters were “bullying.”

Should he become a candidate 2 years from now, Kennedy will need to grow a thicker skin and learn how to deal with the media horde.

As he did with Durbin, Madigan voiced support

for Kennedy, saying the Chicago businessman “would bring to the campaign the history of his family, which would be very helpful.”

More than family ties, Kennedy has two advantages going for him: his deep connections within the business community and his vision for stronger higher education. Both qualities would help a future governor improve the state’s economy.

Two other familiar names are being mentioned: Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan and former Gov. Pat Quinn.

Madigan would have an obvious strength and weakness as a candidate.

Her father, Speaker Madigan, is the most powerful politician in the state, giving her a well-oiled political machine from which to work. But a fatherdaughter power combo is a huge negative. Would voters allow one political family outright control of two branches of government?

QUINN, EVER THE outsider, has been keeping his name in the conversation by advocating for mayoral term limits in Chicago.

Further, his name carries some weight. According to We Ask America gubernatorial poll, Quinn comes in third, after Durbin and “undecided.”

At the center, as has been the case for the last 20 years, is Speaker Madigan.

He holds more cards than the others do combined.

Since Rauner and Madigan achieved a stopgap budget a month ago, the assumption has been that both sides would return the negotiating table after the November election and achieve some sort of compromise that balances the state budget – and raises taxes.

Maybe, maybe not.

Madigan has meticulously accumulated vast power in the Legislature, the judiciary and the unionized executive branch. Does striking a deal maintain or expand that empire? Or does a failed agreement inflict such irreparable damage to Rauner that he cannot possibly win re-election, assuring his candidate the governorship?

Serious candidates should ask themselves: “How badly do I want to be governor if Mike Madigan is really calling the shots?”

Summer vacation His suggestion for your air conditioning needs: Add 4 degrees to the temperature you normally set for your house while you’re on summer vacation. So, if you normally set it to 73, bump it up to 77 degrees.

But don’t get greedy. If you set the thermostat too high, you might find your own temperature rising when you see your next electricity bill.

“Four degrees is the sweet spot,” Brookover says. “More than that and you may spend what you save trying to cool it back down.”

Brookover cautions there’s an even bigger threat from leaving your house too warm. “You could damage wall compounds in Sheetrock if it’s too hot and humid in the house,” he says.

Excessive humidity also could lead to mildew in the house, and Brookover says he’s even seen refrigerators sweating when the house is too hot and humid. So you do want to keep your A/C running at a reasonable pace.

Winter vacation A similar rule applies in reverse for cold weather, with one exception.

Take 4 degrees off your normal home temperature when you leave for a few days on winter vacation, Brookover says.

Avoid the temptation to shut the whole system down while you’re gone: Any more than 4 degrees, and your heat pump or heater has to work too hard to get things toasty again when you return from out of town.

The exception: If you have a gas furnace, which requires less work to heat homes, you can set the temperature 6 to 8 degrees lower.

HEALTH

Find the right balance with your computer Tribune News Service

For many of us, sitting at a desk during the day means a lot of movement with a mouse.

But often, this means moving your right shoulder back – which can create an imbalance.

Robin Boshears, a chiropractor in Texas, often sees patients with shoulder and neck issues.

She suggests switching your mouse from side to side – so if you use your mouse on the right side, put it on the left and vice versa. Most computers have a setting that can make a mouse more lefthand friendly, she said.

“It takes a little bit to get used to, but if you’re going back and forth, you’re not creating an imbalance,” she said.

Keyboard placement is also important.

“We’re reaching forward, our arms are coming forward, our necks are moving forward,” she said.

Humans weren’t designed to be straining forward constantly, and most people are too far from their keyboard.

Ideally, a keyboard should be in a place where your arms are at your sides, with your elbow at a 90-degree angle while pressing the keys.

She said you might not notice strain all the time and it is “a slow, progressive change.”

“You’re slowly losing strength, you’re slowly losing range of motion, all because we’re not in the correct position and posture,” she said.

Husband’s reaction to miscarriage hurts wife Dear Abby, My husband, “Rob,� and I are at odds and your response might affect whether we stay together or not. I had a miscarriage a week ago. I was only 7 weeks pregnant, but it was still something real for me.

My husband’s niece’s birthday was over the weekend. I made it clear that I didn’t want to drive (3 hours!) and be around people after what happened. When he told me it didn’t matter, that it was his niece’s birthday, I lost it on him.

After driving him to his sister’s, I left and drove myself home.

He says I’m overreacting and said that I was

overreacting, and am I crazy for feeling the way I feel? – Feeling Down in the South

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

OK with it earlier in the week. I explained how hurt I was that he’d insist on going and also that he couldn’t stand up for me and explain that I was too emotional and upset to attend her birthday.

He can’t grasp why I’m so hurt by this. Am I

Dear Feeling Down, I’m sorry for your loss.

You’re not overreacting and you’re not crazy.

However, some people are unable to grasp how deeply a miscarriage in the early months of a pregnancy can affect the mother-to-be psychologically and physically. Unfortunately, Rob appears to be one of them.

You didn’t mention whether you told your sister-in-law why you didn’t feel up to celebrating, but if you didn’t, you should have because she prob-

I thought she was very rude. I can’t imagine saying something like that to someone who is preparing food for me.

This is a family member, so I can’t just write them off, but do you have any witty responses should this happen again? – Digusted in California

ably would have understood and let you off the hook. You also should have stayed home, not driven 6 hours round-trip to drop Rob off in your fragile condition.

If this continues to cause problems in your marriage, perhaps your clergyperson (if you have one) or a marriage counselor can help you get the message across to your husband.

Dear Disgusted, I agree it’s rude for guests to ask a host what will be served, unless there are allergy issues to be considered. As far as what to say to your relative, I have a couple of suggestions. Neither one is “witty.�

The first is: “Fine. Bring food your kids will eat or I’ll thaw them some frozen pizza.� Or, if you’re feeling

Dear Abby, When I invited a family member and her family for dinner, she asked what I was serving. When I told her, she said, “My kids won’t eat that,� so I ended up making a different meal that met with her approval.

It was annoying, and

brave, say: “I’m serving [blank], so hire a baby sitter. That way, the kids can have what they’re used to and we’ll have an enjoyable adult evening.�

P.S. It is not child abuse for parents to introduce children to different foods by telling them to taste it because they might like it. And if they don’t, they won’t be forced to eat it. That’s how they learn.

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

ENTERTAINMENT | GOLDEN GLOBES

Jimmy Fallon doesn’t bite – which is why he got the gig Style strikingly different from most recent host Having watched him host the 2010 Emmys, the 2005 MTV Movie Awards and anchor hundreds of hours of his own latenight talk shows, we can be pretty sure what a Jimmy Fallon Golden Globes ceremony will look like.

There will be energetic musical Jimmy numbers!

Fallon Games!

Thank-you notes! More games! And a bright, amiable comic tone miles removed from Ricky Gervais’ snark and the pointed wit of the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler pairing, who, between them, have hosted the past seven Golden Globes shows.

Put it this way: There probably won’t be a joke about Roman Polanski calling “Spotlight� the “best date movie ever.�

Or a bit about how the Golden Globe trophies make great door-stops – and sex toys.

And should NBC, which broadcasts the Globes as well as Fallon’s “Tonight Show,� again come up empty with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association voters, we doubt the cheerful Fallon will pour on the gasoline, as Gervais did this year, when he noted that “it’s right that NBC should host this award show. They’re the only network that’s truly fair and impartial, and that’s because they’re the only network with zero nominations. So, ... nothing in it for ’em tonight. They don’t care, obviously.�

Oh, they care, Ricky.

Announcing Fallon’s choice this week at the Television Critics Association press tour, NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt said, “Jimmy’s playful, disarming comedic brilliance

makes him the ideal host to enhance and elevate the sense of fun and irreverence.�

Notably absent was any reference to the fastening of seat belts, the phrase Greenblatt used in October when he revealed that Gervais would host the 2016 show. “Will it be satirical and biting?� Greenblatt mused on Fallon’s style. “I don’t think so. It’ll be Jimmy.�

And it’ll be Fallon using his top-rated NBC talk show to promote the NBC Golden Globes telecast in the days leading up to the Jan. 8 program.

The glitzy ceremony, which brings together stars from movies and television, remains a ratings magnet even as viewership for most awards shows – including the Globes – dipped last year.

(The “Hamilton� love fest that was this year’s Tonys proved an exception, hitting a 15-year high in viewership.)

The 2016 Gervaishosted Globes telecast attracted 18.5 million viewers, down from the 19.3 million that watched the prior year’s show, run

by Fey and Poehler.

This year’s ceremony found Gervais frequently riffing about the meaninglessness of awards shows in general and the Globes, specifically, implying that the gig was beneath him and, at one point, beseeching someone to put him out of his misery. (“Kill me,� he groaned.)

Gervais’ above-it-all approach runs counter to Fallon’s puppy-dog, cast-no-shade enthusiasm. It’s hard to imagine celebrities shifting nervously in their seats under the watch of the accommodating Fallon. His “Tonight Show� celebrates its guests and relies on their willingness to have fun – and, at times, poke fun at their own serious images.

You want to see “Suicide Squad’s� Jared Leto snuggle with puppies?

Fallon’s your guy.

Fallon’s 2010 Emmys

opened with a 6-minute, pretaped sketch in which he and the cast of the then top-rated “Glee� wrangled celebrities, including Tina Fey, Jon Hamm, Joel McHale and Betty White, for a rousing, song-and-dance rendition of Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run.�

Fallon kept his guitar handy throughout the remainder of the evening, performing brisk, funny salutes to TV shows leaving the air. His tribute to “Lost,� via the Green Day song “Good Riddance,� hit the sweet spot between spoof and homage.

Given that history, it’s not a stretch to think that Fallon will arrive at the 2017 Globes ceremony with a song in his heart. The Globes’ casual vibe – alcohol flows freely, though most image-conscious celebrities decline – leads to an often unpredictable atmosphere, particularly when contrasted with the starched, serious Oscars. The looser format provides more opportunities for hosts to create meme-worthy moments. (The gig also pays much better than the Oscars, another carrot the HFPA uses to attract potential hosts.) “It’s a really difficult room,� Fey told The Times, speaking about the Academy Awards. “High levels of stress are shooting out of just about everyone there. The Golden Globes are less pressure. It’s like an exhibition game for the real season.�

Fallon has already suited up, posting on his Twitter account that he’s “so excited to be hosting� the Golden Globes and that he’s “really looking forward to spending time with the Hollywood Foreign Press before Donald Trump has them all deported.�

Also and perhaps most tellingly: “Let’s make the Globes Gold again! Plan your Globes party Jan. 8th. You could be part of the show.�

In other words: Start honing those catchphrase skills now.

You tell partner the suit to lead

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Henry Morgan, a humorist who died in 1994, said, “A kleptomaniac is a person who helps himself because he can’t help himself.”

A bridge player is a person who helps his partner when he cannot make the key play himself.

Whenever a good bridge player is on defense, he always wonders how he can make his partner’s life easier.

In this deal, for example, look at the North and East hands.

Against four spades, West leads the club five.

After East takes the trick with his ace, and South plays the 10, what should East do next?

North had 12 points with four-card spade support.

Most hands like that would

have been worth a gameforce, but not with eight losers and 4-3-3-3 distribution, when losers tend to stay losers forever.

Third hand should always analyze his partner’s lead.

The club five is either low from length with at least one honor (perhaps K-9-5) or a singleton. Whichever holding West started with, it cannot hurt for East to return a club. However, just in case West can ruff at trick two, it is East’s job to tell his partner which suit to return at trick three by sending a suit-preference signal.

Since East’s winner is in hearts, the higher-ranking of the other two side-suits, he should lead back the club jack, his highest-remaining card in the suit.

Yes, West would probably be able to read the seven, but East should make the position as clear as possible.

(With the diamond ace, East would return the club four.)

West ruffs, shifts to the heart 10, and gets a second ruff to defeat the contract. © 2016 UFS

NFL TRAINIING CAMP | CHICAGO BEARS

tyREYNOLDS

DBs OK as bad guys Secondary revels in role of stopper during camp

BY KEVIN FISHBAIN Shaw Media

Gary truly was Rocket superfan

BOURBONNAIS – It didn’t seem fair to Kyle Fuller, but the fans got what they wanted – a long completion for the offense.

During the second practice of training camp, before the pads came on, Alshon Jeffery shoved Fuller aside down the field and made a long catch, sending the Bourbonnais crowd into a frenzy. No offensive pass interference was called, and without pads, Fuller wasn’t going to make contact. The fans didn’t care, though. All they saw was Cutler-to-Jeffery and a lot of yards.

Training camp isn’t kind to defensive backs. They can’t be as physical as they would be in a game, and the folks in the stands want to see long passes, not deflected ones.

At camp, the defensive backs are the enemies.

“I’m used to it,” Fuller said of the dynamic. “It’s funny, because the first couple days of practice, even like in a walkthrough, if a receiver catches a ball, they’re cheering and all that stuff. It’s something we’re used to. Shoot, it gives us extra motivation to really not let them catch any passes.”

2016 RIO SUMMER OLYMPICS

But what if it all comes together?

Negative press could give way to Olympic spirit once games start

BY PETER PRENGAMAN Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – For months, fears about the Rio de Janeiro Olympics have been hogging the spotlight.

There are concerns about safety amid a surge of murders in Rio, and extremist attacks in Europe and the United States.

Polluted beaches and other waterways could make athletes and visitors ill, and the Zika virus has scared some competitors away.

If all that wasn’t enough, the state of Rio is so broke that months ago, it stopped paying thousands of public employees; angry police have periodically been greeting tourists in the international airport with signs that say, “Welcome to hell!”

If history is a guide, however, a focus on the problems is all part of the script in the run up to the games. Once the competitions start, most if not all of the problems fade into the background – at least for the athletes, tourists, and millions watching around the world.

The U.S. women’s basketball coach, Geno Auriemma, called the Olympics “a 2-week haven where people can get away from it all.”

“Every time you get here, get settled in, nothing seems to matter to any country other than the competition – as it should be,” said Auriemma, now at his third games. “These 2 weeks, the joy and spirit of competition seems to win out.”

Such negative coverage has a “very simple explanation,” says Michael Heine, director of the Center for Olympic Studies

The Christ the Redeemer statue is illuminated in green and yellow, the colors of the Brazil’s flag, on Thursday to celebrate the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite all the bad things going on in Brazil, the Games could come off without a hitch. at Western University.

“The event is about sports, but you can’t find sporting material because the whistle hasn’t gone yet,” said Heine. “So what else do you write about?”

Coverage ahead of the 2012 Olympics in London included stories about terrorism fears and concerns about civil liberties in

light of increased military and police presence. The run up to 2008 Games in Beijing put a spotlight on authoritarianism and extreme air pollution in China. In Athens 2004, there were myriad questions about whether the venues would be ready in time.

ven if you didn’t know Gary Martin, chances are you met him at some point.

Been to a Rock Falls sporting event in the past 20 years? Then you knew Gary.

One of the first games I ever covered at Rock Falls High School in the spring of 2000 was a baseball game between the Rockets and the Dixon Dukes. Barely knowing who anyone was, this gentleman walks up to me and starts asking about my thoughts on the upcoming game.

That was Gary. There was rarely a sport subject he wouldn’t love to talk about, and there were even fewer he didn’t know about.

But the one thing he loved above all else was his Rock Falls Rockets. Name a sporting event at RFHS, and there was Gary. Heck, he even traveled to a lot of road games with one of the teams – but only if another one wasn’t playing at home.

He loved asking what you expected to happen in this game. He loved telling you why he thought things were going to go this way. He loved debating the merits of a particular player in a particular position on the field or court, and was always happy to hear your opinion even if it differed from his.

And it wasn’t just the reporters he loved to chat with, either.

“He was always the first one to come up and congratulate you after a win, and he also loved talking before the game and asking what we thought about it,” longtime Rock Falls volleyball and former softball coach Sheila Mammosser said. “He always had a bag of popcorn in his hand, too; that’s how I’ll rememeber him.

“He’d ask if I thought we’d win, he’d give his input, and then he’d always say ‘Go get ’em, Coach!’ I’ll definitely miss him doing that.”

There wasn’t a Rock Falls athlete Gary didn’t care about or root for. There also wasn’t a player on the opposing team that he ever rooted against; Gary was all about seeing young athletes succeed.

And if it was guys and gals from his Rockets, all the better.

“He was a constant fixture at all the games – baseball, softball, basketball, volleyball – and to have somebody there always supporting the kids, I appreciated it,” Mammosser said.

BY LEANNE ITALIE Associated Press

Don’t expect the Opening Ceremony at the Rio Olympics to match the grandeur of some in the past.

But do look for plenty of smiles, scenic depictions of the rainforest, and a celebration of the country’s ethnic diversity. Marco Balich, the Italian executive producer, would not disclose finer details ahead of today’s opener, but offered broad strokes on how the host country’s heritage will be honored.

“This is not the most grand show,” he said Monday from Rio, though he wouldn’t disclose how much money he had to spend.

“This is not an opulent show compared to London or compared to Beijing, but it will be a very emotional ceremony, full of heart and very graceful.”

Balich is an experienced Olympic hand. He created, directed and produced the opening for the Torino Winter Games, and served as executive producer of the Closing Ceremony in Sochi and the Paralympics there in 2014.

In all, 4,800 performers and volunteers will be involved in

the show built on three basic “pillars” touching on sustainability, particularly re-forestation, “smile” and the idea of “gambiarra,” the quirky Brazilian art of improvising repairs using whatever parts are available.

“Smile is the approach the Brazilians have toward life,” Balich said. “Brazil is not a grand nation. They’re saying in this ceremony, we are who we are, with a lot of social problems, a lot of crises in the political system, etcetera.”

He promises a “contemporary and cool” approach, one especially inspired by native son and renowned photographer Sebastiao Salgado and his work with his Instituto Terra on property once owned by his family. Today, the land is a nature preserve, and the nonprofit raises millions of seedlings and trains ecologists.

“The message is Brazil has the last garden in the world, which is the Amazon, and we need to protect that garden,” Balich said.

“This is a message of hope for the future. This is not a message of ‘Oh, the world is going to terminate because of global warming.’”

Other strong elements will include a celebration of Brazil’s ethnic diversity and its rich music, from bossa nova to “hippy-hoppy,” as they say in Portuguese, Balich said. And, of course, there will be a touch of Carnival. He’s using some of the same costumers around Rio who design for Carnival.

The traditional Olympic cauldron will be a small affair. There will not be a large volume of fire, as an intentional show of small and low emission, organizers said. To frame the small flame, a large sculpture by the artist Anthony Howe will appear behind it, symbolizing the sun. It will be set in motion with spirals representing life.

The idea of the opening, always, is to showcase the host country’s culture, something that has earned oohs and aahs through time, usually also accompanied by some head-scratching as traditions and history play out.

“We are going back to humanity. We’re going back to people.

The audience here, as soon as they hear the music, you stand up and dance,” Balich said.

Brazil hopes a party atmosphere will shine through WHAT IF

CONTINUED FROM B1

t Many Brazilians feel frustrated that the expectations are overwhelmingly negative, especially when the country has pulled off big events like the 2014 World Cup. They argue that such accounts don’t take into account Brazilian “jeito,” or way of doing things, which includes an easy-going nature and a penchant for successfully pulling things off at the last moment.

And the doomsday scenarios all but ignore samba dancing and capoeira martial arts, beautiful coastlines contrasted by mountains covered with lush jungle, stunning sunrises and sunsets, caipirinha cocktails, and culinary options that range from meat-eaters’ delights to exotic fish plucked from the Amazon River.

“No one throws parties like Brazil,” said Denis Eduardo, a 34-year-old travel agent from Sao Paulo traveling to Rio for the games. “People might be bashing Brazil now, as if all previous Olympics had been perfect, but it won’t be long until they are all enjoying it here.”

“Finally people are beginning to feel the Olympic spirit,” said

AP

After doom and gloom stories about Olympic preparations coming out of Brazil for months, the games, like this Portugal-Argentina men’s soccer match Thursday, are under way in Rio. Ilene Pessoa, a college administrator who lives in Rio’s Copacabana neighborhood. “The eyes of the world are on us.”

Brazil’s problems, however, go beyond what other recent countries hosting the Olympics have faced.

Latin America’s largest economy and most populous nation is suffering its worst recession in decades. A political crisis has paralyzed the country and brought out deep polarization – which could very well translate into large protests during the competitions.

The Opening Ceremony will highlight the cloud hanging over the country: Interim President Michel Temer

will ring in the games, while impeached President Dilma Rousseff, suspended for alleged fiscal irregularities in her managing of the budget, stays home.

Even in normal times, Brazil’s infrastructure is poor. Building collapses are frequent, clogged and pot-holed streets turn traffic into parking lots, and electricity and running water are not always a given, even in rich areas.

When the Australian delegation complained last week about dangling wires, bursting toilets, and gas smells in the Olympic Village apartments, they were experiencing things that are common for Brazilians.

The April collapse of a coastal bike lane, an Olympics legacy project inaugurated with much fanfare just a few months before, underscored how dangerous shoddy construction can be. Two men plunged to their death when a big wave turned a large chunk of the path into a mountain of concrete and metal.

The lane has been shut down while authorities investigate.

However, there is little doubt that the engineering was deficient or the construction was faulty, or a combination of both.

David Wallechinsky, president of the International Society of Olympic Historians who will be attending the games, says the last-minute completion of major projects reminds him of an episode in Athens.

On the way back from watching a beach volleyball game, his wife and son got stuck in a newly-built metro train.

It was over 90 degrees, and the doors were not working, so several men pried them open.

When Wallechinsky looked into it he was told: “We just inaugurated it yesterday.”

In Brazil, “are they doing this for the metro system, the venues?

Has everything been checked out?” he asked.

HALL OF FAME | DUNGY

Different way of doing things Trailblazing success, unique approach carry Dungy to Hall of Fame as coach

BY FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer

TAMPA, Fla. – Nine games into his bid to transform the bumbling Tampa Bay Buccaneers into championship contenders, the normally unflappable Tony Dungy reached a boiling point.

A 1-8 record was discouraging, but hardly the only disheartening aspect of yet another slow start for a perennial last-place franchise that suffered through 13 consecutive losing seasons before the young coach’s arrival in 1996.

The soft-spoken Dungy, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday, recalled walking into his office after a third consecutive loss by six or fewer points on the road, and learning one player failed to show up for an off-day appearance at an elementary school. Another was 45 minutes late for an autograph session at a car dealership.

The Oakland Raiders were headed to town that week, but there was more pressing business at hand.

“We go into our nine o’clock meeting, supposedly to introduce the game plan on the Raiders. I said: ‘Let me just show you something,’ and put the two notes on the overhead projector. This is what we’re dealing with,” Dungy said. “‘You want to know why we aren’t winning. This is why we aren’t winning.’ I said, we can give you game plans, we can do tackling drills, we can

Soft-spoken Colts coach Tony Dungy will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. Dungy won a Super Bowl with Indianapolis against the Bears in 2006. do all that, it’s not going to change until you guys get this figured out, and I don’t know how to do that because I’ve been doing it for 3 months,” the coach added. “I left, let the players talk about it. We ended up beating the Raiders in overtime.”

Dungy’s even temperament and insistence on players doing things the “right way” not only helped him survive his only losing season to lead Tampa Bay to four playoff berths in six seasons, but also become the first African-American to win a Super Bowl as a head coach during a stellar 7-year run with the Indianapolis Colts.

And while an impressive coaching resume speaks for itself, the 60-year-old’s greatest legacy may be the impact he’s had on people’s lives through various civic and charitable endeavors.

“I never felt our only job was to win,” said Dungy, 139-69 in 13 seasons, including 85-27 with the Colts from 2002-08.

The disciple of Hall of Famer Chuck Noll had a combined 9-10 postseason record, leading the Bucs to the NFC title game in 1999, and winning it all with the 2006 Colts.

His place in history is not lost on Dungy, the first black elected to the Hall of Fame on the basis of coaching accomplish-

ments. The time he spent as a player and assistant under Noll shaped his philosophy.

“Coach Noll was so tremendous in that regard talking about your life, not just football. That yes, we want to accomplish some things, but you had to get ready for life,” Dungy said, “You had to figure out what you were going to be all about as a person.”

There were only a handful of black assistants in the NFL when Dungy entered the league as a player in 1977. He spent 15 seasons as part of successful staffs in Pittsburgh, Kansas City and Minnesota before getting to lead his own team.

“I think, first, of the guys who could only coach in the black schools. You can’t tell me that Eddie Robinson and John Merritt and Jake Gaither wouldn’t have won in the National Football League.

“Then you had guys who were assistants, who were never thought of as coordinators or head coaches. It wasn’t in the realm of things,” said Dungy, now an analyst for NBC’s “Football Night in America”.

Despite leading teams to the playoffs in 11 of 13 seasons as a head coach, Dungy endured plenty of criticism.

He was fired by Tampa Bay in 2001, 2 years after reaching the NFC championship game.

Although the Colts made the playoffs in each of his seven seasons, some detractors argue Dungy should have won more Super Bowls with a highpowered offense led by Peyton

Manning and receiver Marvin Harrison, who’s also part of this year’s Hall of Fame class.

Dungy’s resume includes an NFL-record 10 consecutive playoff berths with the Bucs and Colts. Still, he believes the contributions he – and many of his players – made off the field matter most.

“In our first meeting, he talked about changing the community, that’s how we’re going to win,” said former Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks, a firstballot Hall of Famer enshrined 2 years ago.

“It wasn’t about X’s and O’s.

I was a little appalled, thinking how can you start out and you’re not talking about wins when I lost more games last year than I did in my whole [college] career. But it was intriguing.

“I talked to him after that, and he told me: ‘Derrick, this is bigger than football,” Brooks added. “We’re going to change the community, and through that everybody wins.”

He sought to do the same in Indianapolis.

“That was what was so enticing to me about the Colts job. When Jim Irsay called me, he said we want to win, obviously, we want to go to Super Bowls, and that’s the goal. But we’re relatively new in Indianapolis, and we don’t have the history of 75 years of football,” Dungy said.

“He said: ‘We’ve got to attract the community, got to become a part of it. He mentioned he wanted to do it like the Steelers did.”

But it’s ing his first year in the never the same.

NFL, but already knows “Shoot, they don’t even that the league favors cheer as much for interthe offense – and that ceptions as when they the Bears faithful in the catch it,” Fuller said.

ST. LOUIS – Orlando Pace accomplished what he set out to do, becoming one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL. At 6-foot-7, he had the wingspan to ward off pass rushers, at 325 pounds he had the bulk for the power game, plus he was amazingly light on his feet.

“He’s cut from a different cloth,” former St. Louis Rams teammate D’Marco Farr said. “Canton is built for guys like him.”

There is one small regret for the new Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Though he played an outsized role in the Greatest Show on Turf, with the assemblage of highoctane talent that produced two Super Bowl teams and a championship with the St. Louis Rams from 1999-2001, the soft-spoken, five-time All-Pro never made it to the end zone.

“I did get a little jealous when I see Ryan Tucker score, and some other guys, too,” Pace said.

Though head coach Mike Martz was somewhat receptive to the idea of giving Pace the ball in the second Super Bowl season, offensive line coach Jim Hanifan nixed the tackleeligible hijinks, judging Pace too much of a vital cog to risk injury.

“He didn’t want me to catch the ball, he didn’t want me to get hurt,” Pace said. “He vetoed all those thoughts and all those special plays.”

Now, the 40-year-old Pace has a chance to dictate terms. He chose his son, Justin, to be his presenter in Canton, Ohio, on Saturday.

“He was my first-born and I wanted him to really share in that moment,” Pace said.

Pace was such a catch coming out of Ohio State in 1997 that the Rams traded up with the Jets to snatch him first overall.

From 1999-2004, St. Louis was wildly successful, in no small part because of the gentle giant protecting the left flank for first Kurt Warner, and then Marc Bulger.

“He was the MVP of what we were doing,” wide receiver Isaac Bruce said.

“The first time I saw him walk through the door I was like, ‘my goodness.’ He was huge,” Farr said. “He was one of our better athletes, and that included the receivers and the running backs.”

Former NFL tackle Orlando Pace blocked for Rams quarterback Kurt Warner’s blind side, and helped St. Louis win a Super Bowl. Pace will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.

In an 8-year stretch from 19982005, Pace played every game in seven of those seasons. He had the franchise tag three consecutive years in a career finally derailed by a torn biceps.

The Sandusky, Ohio, native made such an impression that current Rams guard Rodger Saffold, who also grew up in Ohio, wears No. 76 in his honor.

Linebacker Mike Jones had the tackle that saved the 2000 Super Bowl victory over Tennessee, but like other teammates, he recognized the rare talent on offense that got the Rams to the pinnacle.

Jones said Pace had the skills of a power forward.

“He had that rare ability to drive you off the ball and set a fence that no one could get around,” Jones said.

Hall of Famer and former teammate Aeneas Williams remembers being struck by a speech from Archie Manning, who said, “Guys, you see me limping, so it’s obvious that none of my teammates, offensive linemen, are in the Hall.”

“I can say this about Kurt Warner, he’s not limping. He’s fairly healthy and one of the reasons is because he had Orlando Pace protecting his blind side.”

Before the Rams chose him, Pace had never been to St. Louis. He was familiar with Dick Vermeil, though, from the coach’s experi-

ence on college football telecasts before returning to the NFL. Pace was among the first to be credited with pancake blocks when he dominated at Ohio State.

“When I went to Columbus, it was almost like a dream,” Pace recalled. “Everything that could go right, did go right.”

The NFL agreed with that assessment, and Pace was the first offensive lineman picked No. 1 overall since 1968.

“There’s not a lot of hardships being No. 1,” Pace said.

There was an adjustment period.

He made nine starts his rookie year, struggling along with the rest of the franchise, which had a losing record each of its first 4 years in St. Louis after making the move from the West Coast.

In 1999, the famously intense Vermeil backed off on what had been a grueling practice regimen.

Everybody thrived with a more focused approach, and though Kurt Warner and Marshall Faulk got the lion’s share of the credit, none of it would have happened without Pace paving the way.

In ‘99, Pace anchored a line that helped the offense produce the most passing yards in NFL history.

“I loved it in St. Louis, I’m always a Ram,” said Pace, who wrapped up his career with a year in Chicago in 2009. “Nobody can ever take that away. It was a special time for us.”

Smoke loves retro paint job Stewart’s car to honor Bobby Allison at Darlington

BY STEVE REED AP Sports Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Tony Stewart is hoping that going old school will change his luck at Darlington Raceway for his final Southern 500 next month.

Stewart announced Wednesday that his No. 14 Coca-Cola Chevrolet will feature a paint scheme that replicates one on the car Bobby Allison drove to wins at the 1971 and 1972 Southern 500s.

Stewart is a three-time NASCAR champion who has won 49 races, but none at Darlington. It is one of only two venues where Stewart is winless in NASCAR’s top division.

He is hoping that replicating Allison’s paint scheme changes all of that. His best finish at Darlington is third place.

“This is one race that it is a crown jewel that I haven’t got yet,” Stewart said. “This is my chance to cross one off my list.”

AP

Tony Stewart is psyched about his throwback paint shceme for his final race in Darlington next month. He will honor legend Bobby Allison with an old-school Coca-Cola logo and colors.

Stewart’s throwback look will feature the old Coca-Cola tagline of that era “The Real Thing” emblazoned on the car, along with gold wheels and cubic-inch displacement boast on the hood.

Stewart said he loves the paint scheme.

Stewart said during a press conference at the NASCAR Hall of Fame that he is proud and honored to drive a car that replicates Allison’s

paint scheme.

“You want one that you are really passionate about,” Stewart said.

“This is a paint scheme I am passionate about.

When I show up at the track, I’m going to be excited about driving this one.”

Stewart plans to retire following the season finale Nov. 20 at Homestead-Miami.

Allison started from the pole both times in win-

ning those back-to-back races at Darlington. He led 558 of the 734 laps, including leading all but 38 laps in the 1971 Southern 500. He led a racehigh 229 laps the following year for another one of his five top-series races at Darlington.

“Those red-and-gold Coca-Cola cars were very good to me,” said Allison, who was inducted into the NASCAR Hall of Fame in 2011. “From 1970 through 1975, Coca-Cola was on my car, and we won a lot of races. We won 11 races in ’71, the most I ever had in a single season, and then we came back to win 10 more in ’72.”

Allison called Stewart a “real racer” who would have fit right in with the drivers that ran during his era. He said watching Stewart drive will bring back some fond memories.

“I know what car I’ll be watching in the Southern 500,” Allison said.

Jose Abreu and Avisail Garcia homered in a fiverun second inning, and the Chicago White Sox chased Jordan Zimmermann early in his return from the disabled list, snapping Detroit’s eightgame winning streak with a 6-3 victory over the Tigers on Thursday in Detroit.

Zimmermann (9-5) allowed six runs and six hits in 1 2/3 innings, failing to strike out a batter in his first outing since June 30. He had been out with a right neck strain.

Jose Quintana (9-8) allowed three runs and eight hits in 7 1/3 innings.

David Robertson pitched the ninth for his 26th save in 30 chances.

Miguel Cabrera and Ian Kinsler homered for Detroit, but the Tigers fell to three games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland.

The White Sox’s Jose Abreu (79) celebrates his two-run home run against the Tigers on Thursday as Melky Cabrera rides on his back in the dugout.

The Sox won 6-3 in Detroit to avoid a sweep.

Reds 7, Cardinals 0:

Brandon Phillips had three hits and left-hander Brandon Finnegan allowed one hit in six innings, leading the Reds to a series win over the Cardinals in Cincinnati.

Phillips had a single and a pair of doubles, scored three times and drove in a run against former teammate Mike Leake (8-9).

Ramon Cabrera drove in three runs, and Eugenio Suarez knocked in a pair.

concerns – about a particular hitter or pitcher.

I didn’t really know Gary other than his sports fandom; he was one of 10 children, for example, and never had any kids of his own. But I would argue, and he would surely agree, that he had hundreds of kids in his life – and they all wore his favorite colors on the diamonds, courts, fields and tracks.

And whether they knew it or not, those kids always provided great enjoyment to the Rockets’ superfan.

Thanks, Gary, for sharing your love of sports – and your popcorn – with me. It will never be forgotten.
