A step in the right direction

Schools team up with Sterling police to help teach kids life lessons

STERLING – If even a school principal gets spooked when she sees police while driving, maybe we could all use a little more education.

“When I see an officer in a car and I’m driving, my instant reaction is to hit my brakes, and my blood pressure goes up, even if I’m doing nothing wrong,” said Lindsy Stumpenhorst, about to enter her second year at the elementary school’s helm.

That’s where a new partnership with local police should help.

Rich Sanders of Dixon received a congressional commendation 2 weeks ago for his military service and longtime dedication to helping his fellow veterans. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, who presented him with his commendation, said Sanders has “devoted his life to serving fellow veterans across the country and in his community.”

Rich Sanders served his country, his community, and his fellow soldiers. And for his devotion to duty, his nation’s leaders gave him their thanks

DIXON – When Vietnam veteran Rich Sanders was receiving a national honor, he felt compelled to shift the limelight to his surrogate mother.

Sanders received a congressional commendation 2 weeks ago for his military service and longtime dedication to helping his fellow veterans, an honor he shared with 89-year-old Terry Davis of Boston.

“It was a great day for her; it was a great day for me,” Sanders said. “It’s really an honor.”

Davis, of Dixon, was a former president of the American Gold Star Mothers, an organization of moth-

ers of service personnel killed in the course of duty, and one which Sanders served on as a board member.

Davis’ son, Spc. Fourth Class Richard Davis Jr., died in June 1968, during the Vietnam War. Sanders said there’s no replacing her son, but he and Davis have formed a close bond during the past 3 decades.

“I always call her mom, and she always gives me a hug and says ‘I love you,’” he said.

Davis was a special guest during the July 28 ceremony in Ottawa, where U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, recognized eight veterans in the 16th Congressional District, including Sanders.

Board asks voters for $80.7 million in bonds, tax increase to take care of Dixon High School, other projects

BY CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN cheimerman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5523 CHeimerman_SVM

DIXON – The school board has voted to place the referendums geared toward building a new Dixon High School on the November ballot and, to a great degree, has stepped away.

The board on Wednesday unanimously approved two measures: one asking voters for permission to bond out the about $80.7 million to build the high school and bring the district’s buildings up to code; and the other to increase the sales tax 1 percent to alleviate some of the property tax increase that would come with the project.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger Congressman said heroes like Sanders “are the truest example of servant leadership, serving their country and community with honor

and distinction.”

LEE COUNTY COURT

Hearings in purported drug conspiracy delayed Prosecution cites reams of new paperwork to read, digest

BY RACHEL RODGERS rrodgers@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5529 @rj_rodgers

DIXON – Preliminary trial proceedings were postponed Thursday for a former Rock Falls detective accused of tipping off drug dealers, selling marijuana, and stealing from her department’s evidence locker.

Veronica Jaramillo appeared in Lee County court Thursday, and her attorney, James Mertes, requested the hearing be pushed back because he has about 600 pages of discovery, filed this week by Assistant Attorney General John Kezdy, to go through.

The hearing was rescheduled for Sept. 29.

Jaramillo, free on $20,000 bond, is charged with seven counts: possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, punishable by 3 to 7 years in prison; possession of marijuana; and con-

spiracy; and four counts of official misconduct, each punishable by 2 to 5 years.

Veronica ProsecuJaramillo tors say Jaramillo, 43, leaked information on a pending investigation to Jody Canas, 44, of Sterling, Rickey L. Richardson, 52, of Harmon, and Lynn H. Robinett, 45, of Dixon, all of whom were planning to sell drugs.

Canas and Richardson also had their hearings moved, Canas’ to Aug.

25, and Richardson’s to Sept. 8.

Canas, the boyfriend of Jaramillo’s sister, Violeta Jaramillo, is charged with six counts: three counts of delivery of cocaine – one that carries 6 to 30 years in prison, and two that carry 4 to 15 years; possession of cocaine with intent to deliver, also 6 to 30 years; possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, 3 to 7 years; and conspiracy, 2 to 5 years. He is in Lee County Jail on $200,000 bond.

Richardson is charged with delivery of cocaine, punishable by 6 to 30

years; and two counts of delivery of cocaine, each 4 to 15 years. He is being held on $50,000 bond.

Lynn Robinett also is scheduled to appear Sept. 8. He is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, 3 to 7 years; and conspiracy, 2 to 5 years.

He posted $2,500 of his $25,000 bond and was released June 14.

The state attorney general’s office is prosecuting. The offenses happened in Lee and Whiteside counties, investigators say, and Lee County Court was chosen as the venue.

Pastors sue over gay conversion therapy ban Want clergy removed from prohibitions SPRINGFIELD (AP) – A group of pastors is suing Illinois over a law that bars therapists and counselors from trying to change a minor’s sexual orientation, saying in a Thursday filing that the prohibition violates free speech and religious rights.

The federal lawsuit seeks to exclude clergy from the ban that took effect Jan. 1, arguing that homosexuality is “contrary to God’s purpose” and a disorder that “can be resisted or overcome by those who seek to be faithful to God and His Word.”

Illinois is among 5 states with bans on so-called gay conversion therapy for youth under 18, a practice critics have decried as psychologically damag-

ing. The laws in California and New Jersey have withstood legal challenges, but an attorney for the pastors said the prohibitions in those states did not include clergy.

“The law in Illinois is broader than the other laws, which were aimed at licensed counselors,” said John Mauck, who added that his plaintiffs are not seeking to overturn the entire ban, but want a ruling stating it shouldn’t apply to clergy.

Vermont and Oregon are the other states with bans, and President Barack Obama expressed support for such laws last year.

The Illinois Attorney General’s office, which will handle the lawsuit on behalf of the state, had not received the lawsuit yet and couldn’t comment, spokeswoman Annie Thompson said.

Illinois’ law applies to therapists and other licensed counselors, but the portion of the law

“We want to make sure that young people in particular have access to pastoral and biblicalbased counsel if they want it, and that pastors

are able to provide Biblebased counseling without any fear of legal repercussions,” said Steven Stultz, a Chicago pastor who is part of the lawsuit. Four other pastors are also involved, as well as Pastors Protecting Youth and Civil Liberties for Urban Believers.

Rep. Kelly Cassidy, a Chicago Democrat who sponsored the bill, said she’s met with people who have gone through conversion therapy and they tell stories of feeling suicidal, humiliated and alienated from their families.

“This is torture, this is abuse. We can’t sanction that,” she said.

Cassidy’s bill quoted language from the American Psychiatric Association warning in 2000 that “the potential risks of reparative therapy are great, including depression, anxiety and selfdestructive behavior, since therapist alignment with societal prejudices

State Rep. Kelly Cassidy, D-Chicago, speaks at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield in April. A group of pastors is suing Illinois over a law barring therapists from trying to change a minor’s sexual orientation.

But Stultz said the young parishioners who have sought his counsel

have had positive experiences.

“I think we’ve been able to do it in such a way that doesn’t bring condemnation, doesn’t bring pressure,” he said.

U.S. HIGH SCHOOLS

Gay students far more likely to be raped, assaulted First national survey tells its findings NEW YORK (AP) – Gay, lesbian and bisexual high school students are far more likely than their classmates to be raped or assaulted in a dating situation, according to the first national survey of its kind.

The research also found gay teens were far more likely to have attempted suicide, taken illegal drugs and engaged in other risky behaviors.

The finding echoes results of smaller surveys and findings from advocacy groups, but it is the first government survey to look at the issues across the entire country.

For years, advocacy groups have been saying gay and lesbian kids are more often bullied, ostracized and at high risk for many other problems.

But earlier research by the government was limited to a small number of states and cities. The new survey includes students in rural areas and other parts of the U.S. “This is the first time we can say that nationwide

these are consistent challenges faced by lesbian, gay and bi- youth,” said David W. Bond of The Trevor Project, a national suicide-prevention organization focused on gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender youth.

Shontay Richardson says the survey reflects her experience in high school. “There’s of course the physical bullying, but also the emotional bullying that takes place,” she said.

from her classmates. Still, she was seen as different.

She was ostracized by her classmates and sexually assaulted by a boy she knew, she said.

The research results are based on responses from about 15,600 students to an anonymous survey conducted last year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC released the report Thursday.

Of the survey participants, about 2 percent said they were gay or lesbian, 6 percent said they were bisexual, and 3 percent said they weren’t sure of their

sexual identity.

That suggests that of the 16 million students who attended public and private high schools last year, roughly 321,000 were gay or lesbian and 964,000 were bisexual, CDC officials said.

Among the findings: • Nearly 1 in 5 of the gay, lesbian and bisexual students said they’d been raped at some point in their lives, compared to 1 in 20 heterosexual students.

• Nearly 1 in 5 who had gone out with someone in the past year said their date had hit them, slammed them against a

wall, or committed some other form of physical violence. That was more than twice what straight kids reported.

• About 1 in 3 said they had been bullied at school, while 1 in 5 straight kids had.

• More than 1 in 10 said they’d missed school the past month because of safety concerns. Less than 1 in 20 heterosexual kids reported that.

• More than 1 in 4 said they has attempted suicide in the previous 12 months. In contrast, about 1 in 16 straight kids reported recent suicide attempts.

Sanders served many roles supporting veterans SERVICE

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

“It was an honor and a privilege to recognize Mr. Sanders and the seven other veterans with the commendation last month,” Kinzinger said. “These American heroes are the truest example of servant leadership, serving their country and community with honor and distinction.”

Sanders, a specialist five in the Army, served in Vietnam from July 1969 to January 1972.

The 66-year-old, who grew up in Shaw Station north of Sublette, has worn many hats when it comes to veterans outreach, care and community projects.

In 1985, he joined VietNow, an organization run on the lifeblood of veterans helping veterans.

He was elected to the organization’s national

board in 1993 and became president a year later. He served in that role for 20 years before retiring in 2014.

“I don’t know what would have went on in my life if I hadn’t joined,” he said. “It gives you a platform, an opportunity to serve and be a part of something special.”

The group strengthens the bond between veterans, a bond that also helps grow self-esteem, especially for those who didn’t receive a warm welcome coming home from the war, he said.

Sanders carries board roles with the Lee County Veterans Memorial Park and Lee County Honor Flight chapter, as well as the Gold Star Mothers. He also worked as the county’s Veterans Assistance Commission superintendent for 15 years before retiring this

past summer.

“After serving his country in Vietnam with the United States Army, Richard Sanders came home and served his fellow countrymen,” Kinzinger said. “As a veteran himself, he devoted his life to serving fellow veterans across the country and in his community.”

All those hats weren’t always easy to wear, but the gratification gained from helping veterans outweighed any hardship.

There were certainly highlights throughout the years, including seeing his wife, Mary, dancing with former Gen. William Westmoreland on The Queen Mary in Long

Beach, California.

“The general said ‘If you’re not going to dance with her, may I?’ and when the general asks you something, you don’t say ‘OK,’ you say, ‘Yes, sir,’” Sanders said with a laugh.

“I stepped on his toes twice,” Mary added.

Sanders’ retirement has its perks. He found time to attend his first Honor Flight in April, the first time the flight was open to Vietnam veterans.

He had applied to be a flight guardian a few times but had to pass up the opportunity each time because of other commitments.

During VietNow silent auction fundraisers, statues of the national bird symbolizing freedom were never in short supply, and many decorate Sanders’ home. About 30 are on display, with a few others tucked away in boxes – on his wife’s orders. She told him she wasn’t going to dust another eagle.

The couple married in 1978, and though they don’t have children, they have a big family of veterans.

Shooting leads to 15 years in prison

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5535 @KathleenSchul10

MORRISON – A Rock Falls man was sentenced to 15 years in prison for aggravated discharge of a firearm after shooting a man in April during a fight.

Jesse A. Williams, 22, had faced 30 to 60 years in prison until a charge of armed violence was dismissed as part of a plea agreement.

Charges of aggravated unlawful use Jesse A. of a weapon Williams and mob action, also felonies, also were dismissed at his July 27 sentencing.

Investigators said Williams and two other men, William C. Elder, 23, of Rock Falls, and Joshua L. White, 21, of Sterling, got into a fight around 3:15 a.m. in the 1800 block of 16th Avenue, and Williams shot the third man with a 9-mm handgun.

When police responded to a call of shots fired in the area of 16th Avenue and East 19th Street, they found a 23-year-old Rock Falls man with a gunshot to his arm and bullet holes in several homes.

Neither Elder nor White were charged in this case.

Williams also was convicted in March 2014 for misdemeanor unlawful possession of a firearm and sentenced to 30 days in Whiteside County Jail.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

Compromise would be nice to allow dental clinic to expand What we think We encourage officials from the city of Rock Falls and Whiteside County government to do their utmost to find a compromise that allows for a much-needed expansion of a county Health Department dental clinic.

T

he Whiteside County Health Department believes it has a lot of good reasons for wanting to expand its busy and popular dental clinic at 1308 W. Second St. in Rock Falls.

The Rock Falls city government believes it has a lot of good reasons for adhering to its zoning regulations and blocking that expansion.

We hope reason can prevail, somehow, so that the clinic will be allowed to expand and better serve the people of White­side County.

It was last week that the Rock Falls City Council voted 5 to 3 to deny a zoning variance that would have allowed the county to build an addition to its present dental clinic.

The addition would extend about 18.5 feet southward from the present clinic toward the sidewalk along West Second Street.

However, the City Council agreed with the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission, which previously voted 6 to 1 against a zoning variance, because the addition would have encroached on the city’s required 25-foot setback.

ACTUALLY, THE existing building doesn’t conform to the 25-foot setback either, but it predates today’s zoning regulations and thus was grandfathered in.

The neighborhood in question, by the way, includes a larger health department building, some parking lots and houses. Not far away is Rock Falls High School and a gas station on the corner.

Health Department and county leaders are correct to try to improve the existing dental clinic.

It’s too small, for one thing. Cramped quarters

make it uncomfortable for staff and patients.

With so many people in waiting rooms and treatment rooms, it’s also a challenge to conform to patient confidentiality guidelines.

For the city’s part, it has zoning regulations for a reason – to keep some semblance of control over what people build on their property, and how they use it, so that the rights of neighbors aren’t infringed, and the general appearance and functionality of the city is respected.

Relax the rules in one case, city leaders fear, and the floodgates could open. More people might come pounding on the doors at city hall, demanding that the rules be relaxed for them, too.

THE CITY POINTS OUT that the county could simply change directions.

Instead of expanding to the south toward the property line, it could expand the clinic westward into the clinic’s adjacent parking lot, and the problem would be solved.

However, the county points out that, due to the interior layout of the present clinic, such an expansion would be impractical and cost a lot of extra money. And we’re talking about taxpayers’ dollars here.

It appears there is no perfect solution.

That reminds us of the old saying, Perfect is the enemy of good.

Both sides can stick to their positions, and the public will be denied the good that an expanded dental clinic could have provided.

We strongly encourage city and county officials to get together and find a creative and fair compromise that better serves the needs of the public that they’re all sworn to serve.

SPRINGFIELD SCOOP

‘The P.T. Barnum of politics’ scottREEDER Author: Trump Reeder will destroy the Scott is a veteran Republican Party Springfield statehouse SPRINGFIELD – When a veteran gave Donald Trump his Purple Heart earlier this month, David Cay Johnston cringed.

Johnston, the son of a disabled World War IIera veteran, knows the sacrifices that medal represents. It’s awarded only to military personnel wounded or killed in combat.

Trump said of the gift: “I always wanted to get the Purple Heart. This was much easier.”

Johnston, a Pulitzer Prize winner who has written a book on the Republican presidential candidate, has known Trump for decades and told me in a recent interview, “Donald Trump just doesn’t get it. He creates his own reality. The Purple Heart isn’t something anyone seeks.”

I first met Johnston 11 years ago, when I was in Fort Worth, Texas, to receive an Investigative Reporters and Editors medal. I found Johnston to be a heck of a nice guy,

journalist who has covered government for almost 30 years.

an occasional mentor and reporter not afraid to go against the grain.

He’s a registered Republican who is not afraid to speak out against some of the GOP’s dumber moves.

His book, “The Making of Donald Trump,” makes it clear that its dumbest move may well be nominating Trump.

“Win or lose, I think Donald Trump will mean the destruction of the Republican Party as we know it,” Johnston told me.

JOHNSTON LABELS Trump the “P.T. Barnum of American politics,” adding that the real estate mogul is a master of media manipulation.

“Back when he announced that he was seeking the Republican nomination, most reporters were dismissive, say-

ing it was a publicity stunt.

I wasn’t one of them. I didn’t say he ‘would’ but said he ‘could’ win the nomination.”

Maliciousness is a point of pride for Trump, Johnston contends. “This is a man driven by the need to seek revenge,” he said.

Johnston devotes a chapter to Trump’s words on the subject. He described how Trump fired a female employee who cited ethical reservations and refused to call a banker friend on his behalf.

Johnston quotes Trump’s own account from his book, “Think Big.” “She ended up losing her home. Her husband, who was only in it for the money, walked out on her and I was glad. … I can’t stomach disloyalty, … and now I go out of my way to make her life miserable.”

Johnson also relates how Trump cut off the health insurance for his great nephew after the ill baby’s parents challenged a family will.

Johnston said Trump’s appeal is that he offers simplistic solutions to an American people who are hurting economically.

And Trump has used the

‘‘

trappings of his personal wealth to attract people.

But Johnson contends that Trump isn’t nearly as wealthy as he says he is.

“He lives the lifestyle of a billionaire. But how many real billionaires are out hawking ties, steaks, bottled water and board games?”

Johnston’s book is a terrific read.

And I have to agree with his assessment of the wannabe commanderin-chief. Trump is a charlatan who spews hatred toward Muslims, Mexicans, women, and just about anyone who gets in his way.

He’s not just an embarrassment to the Republican Party but to this great nation.

DAY TRIP | LECLAIRE AND PRINCETON, IOWA

Where the

Buffaloroamed Bill You don’t have to head way out west to see what the wild west was like. Just gather up the kin folk and take a day trip across the Mississippi

I

BY ANDREA MILLS amills@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5575

f there’s one man who embodies the wild west, it’s Buffalo Bill – early days of Pony Express riders, fur trappers buffalo hunters – he did all that and more. You can also add entertainer and Medal of Honor recipient to his list and accomplishments.

And the great thing is, if you want to learn more about him, you don’t have to head way out west to do it. Just take a day trip over to Iowa to see why Buffalo Bill Cody stands out in the history books.

Cody, born William Frederick Cody, was known for his wild west shows. He started life in 1846 in LeClaire, Iowa, the son of Isaac and Mary Ann Cody.

He was born 2 miles west of LeClaire on Territorial Road. The location is now private property and the cabin he was born in is long gone.

The family moved around Iowa, ending up in Walnut Grove before moving to Kansas in 1853. But before that, they moved to Princeton in 1847, and then back to LeClaire in 1849, where they lived on the 100 block on the west side of North Cody Road.

A plaque marks the site, but the house that sits there isn’t where they lived. It took a train ride to Cody, Wyoming.

That might not seem like a lot to see, but a Codythemed trip to Iowa just needs to add the Buffalo Bill Museum in LeClaire, along the Mississippi River, to make up for it. Its exhibits include a room for children ages 3 to 8, where kids can get involved through hands-on items, such as a dress-up area, a musical wall, planting a garden and guiding a riverboat with a pilot’s wheel. An adult must accompany them.

While the kids are having fun, other guests can head to the fashion area. This exhibit displays clothing worn by women in the early 20th century.

Other items to check out are Iron-Eyes Cody’s teepee, donated by Mike Wolfe of the TV show “American Pickers.” This Cody was an actor, best known for his Native American roles in movies. He was, however, Italian. Speaking of “American Pickers,” you can check out Wolfe’s shop, Antique Archaeology, while you’re in LeClaire. It’s at 115 Davenport St., just behind the BP gas station.

In the River Pilots’ Pier area, visitors will find a display on clams, a hand-crafted replica of the Robert E. Lee riverboat, a 1939 Chris Craft Speed Boat, and a restored fire truck.

The Cody family didn’t stay in LeClaire during their final move to the town. They moved in 1847 to Princeton, where Isaac built a home of limestone with walnut floors. This is the Buffalo Bill Cody Homestead in Scott County. Buffalo roam the

The restored house is furnished in early Victorian style dating back to mid-1800s. It’s open for viewing. The frame construction attached to the limestone section of the home was built by the McCauland family, who owned the property after the Codys.

The living room is in 1847 style, with carpeting and a daybed. The Cody-McCauland bedroom is in the addition. The furnishings are based on 1870s decor.

Don’t miss the replica of the log schoolhouse that Isaac built. Buffalo Bill was a preschooler who is said to have followed his sister to school there with his dog.

So, gather up a posse and head west to find out more about Buffalo Bill.

The Buffalo Bill Museum in LeClaire is a must-see.

AROUND THE HOUSE: FLOORING

The woods are full of variety Wide, scraped, dark ... consider a few trends for your wood flooring Tribune News Service

Wood flooring is a classic look for any home, but there are trends to consider when installing a new floor or refinishing an existing one: Wide floor boards – If you have smaller rooms, consider the trend toward wider planks, which create the illusion of more space. While wide boards can work in any room, the look is especially nice for cozier rooms.

Earth-friendly wood – Sustainable products continue to be popular, including bamboo and cork. Bear in mind that these flooring materials aren’t as tough as hardwood, and will need different maintenance and care. They might however, give your rooms a fresh, natural appeal.

The popularity of exotic woods has contributed to global deforestation.

An alternative is to have floors made of wood reclaimed from old buildings or other sources.

In the case of oak and some other hardwoods, reclaimed wood might

make a better floor, since wood in older buildings often came from heartwood.

Color choice – Darker tones, such as deep cherry and mahogany, remain popular, and help create a sense of opulence and grandeur associated with classic comfort.

Lighter colors contribute to a more casual, natural look. Ask your flooring professional to show you the latest options in wood floor color.

Handscraped hardwood – At one time, wood floorboards routinely bore the marks of having been scraped by tools to create as smooth a finish as possible. Today, handscraped and distressed floors are becoming popular, and there are a variety of ways to achieve the look, which can add cost.

Prefinished flooring – Some wood flooring now comes precoated with a clear finish of tiny metal crystals that create a solid, protective layer.

Such prefinishing allows floors to be quickly ready for foot traffic after installation.

Group wants to prevent foot traffic accidents Institute asks for flooring labels so buyers know the risks of slipping Tribune News Service

The Consumer Product Safety Commission staff is tackling a very interesting problem.

The National Floor Safety Institute has petitioned it to require floor covering manufacturers to label their products to indicate that there is a possibility of slips and falls that could result in injury.

“Slips and falls are one of the leading causes of injuries, of which 55 percent are caused by unsafe floors,” said the institute president, Russ Kendzior.

“However, when it comes to buying a floor, most consumers are in the dark and assume all floors are safe, only to find out that they are not once they are injured,” he said.

The commission said it received more than 60 comments, many of which were in support.

Deborah A.P. Hersman of the National Safety Council said, “Requiring flooring products to include slip resistance safety labeling that is clearly defined in line with the standard will enable consumers to make better, safer choices.”

However, flooring manufacturers are vehemently opposed.

Mohawk Industries said

that “providing coefficient of friction information on product packaging misdirects the consumer and can lead to a false sense of safety.”

“Our decades of experience in the floor-covering industry indicates that wet and dry traction are generally self-evident to consumers simply by walking on the product, or running a hand over it under the expected conditions,” the company said.

“Safe floors are only insured by keeping floors clean and dry,” said Eric Astrachan of the Tile Council of North America, the trade association representing the ceramic tile industry.

Flooring institute research has shown that most floor coverings are evenly distributed along three traction ranges, making it just as easy for the consumer to select a high-traction floor as a low-traction floor.

Kendzior said, “Running your fingers across a floor’s surface is not an accurate measurement of the product’s safety as it will be walked on.

“What we are asking is they make that information available via an easyto-understand product label,” he said.

Ex-husband’s dates interfere with dad time Dear Abby, I have been divorced for a year and have two boys, ages 8 and 9.

During this time, my ex-husband has introduced three different women to my children and recently introduced them to a new girlfriend he has been seeing for a few weeks. The first day that they met the girlfriend, he had the children spend the night at her place. The woman has a 9-year-old son of her own.

I do not find this appropriate. When I confronted my ex, he insisted that there is no problem with it. How long do you recommend someone wait before introducing children to the person he/she is dating? Am I wrong

Occasionally, having a female friend join him and the boys is all right, provided they understand she’s just a friend.

But he shouldn’t have been diluting the time he was spending with the boys during this first year to the extent that he has because it sends the wrong message.

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

to be concerned about this?

– Caring Mom in Kansas Dear Caring Mom, Unless your ex is trying to teach his sons that relationships are revolving doors, he should slow down the traffic.

They need to spend time with their father, not their father plus one.

Dear Abby, My lesbian friend, “Giselle,” broke up with her significant other, whom she met over the internet. They have actually never met in person because her girlfriend, “Samantha,” lives in Canada, but Giselle says they were soulmates.

Samantha has moved on and now has another sweetheart, but Giselle won’t move on.

It has been many months and Giselle is still trapped in this bubble of sadness. She won’t stop talking about how much she loves Samantha. I kept reassuring her everything would be OK and maybe she would find somebody else like her internet friend did.

After a few months, she became angry with me, and accused me of not being supportive of her trying to get Samantha back. She also accused me of not understanding “what girl-to-girl love is,” which makes no sense, considering that I’m bi.

This has been going on for nearly a year. Should I back off, or must I continue to be supportive of something I know can’t happen?

Princess Elena appears in a scene from “Elena of Avalor.” The series, which airs on Disney Channel and Disney Junior, was renewed for a second season Thursday.

‘Elena of Avalor’ gets second-season renewal LOS ANGELES (AP) – Disney’s first Latino princess will keep her throne: The TV series “Elena of Avalor” is getting a second-season renewal.

The decision was announced Thursday, shortly after the July debut of the animated series on Disney Channel and Disney Junior.

Disney had already demonstrated its confidence in the project with extensive merchandise tie-ins, including dolls, books, accessories, a soundtrack and upcoming DVD. The Princess Elena character was introduced at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, on Thursday and will make her bow at the

Disneyland Resort in California this fall.

“It’s just a few weeks into the launch of ‘Elena of Avalor’ and we are already seeing what an impact and connection she is making with kids and families,” Nancy Kanter, executive vice president and general manager of Disney Junior Worldwide, said in a statement.

The series, which incorporates elements of Latin cultures and folklore, added to Disney’s once whites-only princess universe. That has gradually expanded to include Asian, African-American, Native American and Middle Eastern royals in screen projects.

LEARN AND LIVE

First lesson as classes start: Safety first Be watchful, wary of school zones, buses

O

n the surface, this public service announcement is a simple one: School is back in session (at least in Erie, as of Thursday), so use your brain and the brake pedal while driving in school zones.

Let’s take that a little further and farther.

First? Let’s go farther, as in farther than where the school zones begin and end.

The speed limit is 20 mph in all school zones from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. This doesn’t mean that once

you’re past the sign, or once the clock strikes 4 bells, you should floor it to get back up to 35, or whatever the posted limit is.

Lots of kids walk home, many of them a pretty substantial distance, and their attention spans are the same outside the school zone as they are within it. Especially for the first few days of the school year, keep an extra-vigilant eye out, no matter where you are around town.

Just looking out for pedestrians isn’t enough.

Here’s a quick primer on school buses: If you’re not sure on whether you should pass, don’t. Simple enough.

If the demand to be a

but she says she can’t remember what happened, The Southern Illinoisan reported.

According to court documents, she has been accused of stealing the money by forging the signature of the village mayor and cashing government checks made out to herself.

A Pope County judge

has granted a request from Smith’s attorneys for a psychological exam.

They argue she is suffering from retrograde amnesia.

Court documents say Smith was charged with one count of forgery, alleging she stole between $10,000 and $100,000 from Eddyville between June 2013 and Feb. 25, 2016.

courteous, concerned person isn’t enough, perhaps this will work: Anyone who doesn’t stop behind a bus with its stop sign extended and lights activated can get hit with a $150 fine, and can lose their license for 3 months. Speeding tickets in school zones are double, too.

So plan ahead, add a little more time to get from Point A to Point B, be alert (the world needs lerts), and for Pete’s sake, holster that smartphone.

By now, you should know better than to be using that thing when you’re

behind the wheel, let alone in a school zone.

As for parents as terrified as I’ll be in a couple of years, safety starts with communication. If possible, arrange for your kiddo to walk to school and back home with a

buddy. Conversely, reiterate the importance of stranger danger. Urge them to use only sidewalks and crosswalks and, if they’re biking, go over the rules of the road with them.

Anyone with questions or concerns shouldn’t hesitate to call those who enforce those rules and protect us from those who break them.

Call your local police department if anything is unclear.

District facing $275,000 deficit for 2017 HOPES

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

Going forward, state statute prohibits school board members or high school personnel from speaking for or against referendum between now and the Nov. 8 general election.

Promotion of the referendum will now fall to a commitJames D. tee being Schielein formed by Unicom Arc, the public relations firm the district hired to shepherd it through the referendum process.

“The next step is to make sure that good, accurate

information gets out, and that it’s readily available on our website,” said Jim Schielein, vice president of the school board.

Beyond the inability to express opinions about the referendum, Schielein said hiring Unicom Arc was an act of sheer prudence.

“Any time you’re making a decision of this scale, wouldn’t you hire a professional?” he said.

“If you’re buying a house, you have contracts and regulations the seller has to adhere to. Most – 99 percent of people – how many houses do they buy in their lifetime? You have to have that expert helping you through it. I’ve been in political campaigns almost all my life, and for some of my

Next meeting The Dixon school board will next meet at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 14 at the school district’s central office, 1335 Franklin Grove Road.

“We’re learning here, and it’s important that we do it right.”

The only revision of the referendums’ language from when the board read it at the July meeting was the inclusion of the districts’ other buildings

being brought up to code.

In that vein, should either or both of the referendums be shot down, the district would enter tricky territory with so many life-health-safety fixes needed throughout its schools. “‘No’ takes us back into the murk,” Schielein said.

“The board would have to decide where we go from here, and interpret what ‘No’ means: Is that ‘No’ to a new high school?

‘No’ to the $80 million?

That’s very tricky, from the aspect of what hangs over us: the life-safety work at the high school.”

Budget gets first read The district’s fiscal year 2017 budget is much closer to the black than the previous year’s. That said, it’s still projected to

have a $275,000 shortfall in the education fund, whereas fiscal year 2016’s ed fund was $640,000 in the red.

Schielein has called the district’s budget a “trainwreck” in the past.

“At least this one, I’m hoping as we go through this soft recovery in Illinois, we can turn things around, but it’s going to be a slow, painful process,” he said.

He called a less-than 1 percent equalized assessment value increase, from $340 million to $343 million, “underwhelming.”

“We’re still in the doldrums,” he said.

The board will vote to put the budget on file at its Sept. 14 meeting.

Working with students can help officers, too STEP

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

With the departure of the city-funded D.A.R.E. program due to lack of funding, Washington and Lincoln elementary schools are filling that gap – and then some – with a help from the Sterling Police Department.

For the first time this fall, 18 of the department’s 24 officers will pair up with third- and fifth-grade teachers to co-teach Second Step curriculum in the schools. The prekindergarten through eighth grade curriculum covers three units – empathy, emotion management, and problem solving – and the officers will be in the classrooms once per week, for half-hour lessons.

“Those three units, that’s all stuff that makes

for a good police officer, too,” Sterling Police Chief Tim Morgan said. “I only see this as a win-win situation.”

He said the school district’s initial expectation was that officers would be in just fifth-grade rooms.

“I don’t think they realized I was looking to dive in head-first,” Morgan said. “I wanted to get to the even younger kids, to let them know they can still trust us when they have problems or need us.”

“This was bigger than we expected, by far, to be honest, in terms of how much time they’re willing to commit,” said Cindy Frank, principal at Lincoln.

Morgan said the department’s commitment is predominantly man hours, and that the partnership’s cost will be negligible, but the payoff

Cindy Frank

Lindsy Stumpenhorst

could be big.

The surge in reports of violence involving police officers has created a sense of urgency to foster community relations.

“There are some individuals out there who make bad decisions, and yes, police officers are human beings,” Morgan said. “But we’re doing our job to the best of our ability, and our officers are committed to doing things the right way.

We’re still the good guys.”

Whereas the D.A.R.E. program put an officer in a classroom a few hours a week, “We’re going

to have a police presence in the schools 9 or more hours a week,” Morgan said.

Tim He attendMorgan ed D.A.R.E. graduations this past spring and knew the relationship-building involved needed to continue.

“I saw the relationship our officer had with the kids, and I knew we had to do something,” Morgan said.

The Sterling district has used the Second Step curriculum for about a decade, and just added preschool last year.

The Dixon, Rock Falls Elementary, and East Coloma-Nelson school districts have been using Second Step for years, too, and the Rock Falls district also just added

preschool. In East Coloma-Nelson School, a grant allows two teachers from the YWCA of the Sauk Valley to co-teach the curriculum.

For the Sterling principals, incorporating police officers just made sense.

“Educators and police officers are both in helping professions,” Frank said. “Their profession is based on the foundation of building relationships.”

Stumpenhorst said officers were already collaborating with teachers last week to get a head start. Whereas other area districts start classes as soon as Monday, Sterling schools open Aug. 22.

“They’re doing their homework and being proactive,” she said.

“It’s so important to see officers as real people, and know they’re not untouchable.”

NATION

Pot stays on list of dangerous drugs for time being WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration has decided marijuana will remain on the list of most dangerous drugs, fully rebuffing growing support across the country for broad legalization, but said it will allow more research into its medical uses.

The decision to expand research into marijuana’s medical potential could pave the way for the drug to be moved to a lesser category. Heroin, peyote and marijuana, among others, are considered Schedule I drugs because they have no medical application; cocaine and opiates, for example, have medical uses and, while still illegal for recreational use, are designated Schedule II drugs.

The Drug Enforcement Administration said the agency’s decision came after a lengthy review and consultation with the Health and Human Services Department, which said marijuana “has a high potential for abuse” and “no accepted medical use.” The decision means that pot will remain illegal for any purpose under federal law, despite laws in 25 states and District of Columbia that have legalized pot for either medicinal or recreational use.

Advocates have long pushed for the federal government to follow suit.

Huffington Post chief will Thrive at her new job Site’s editor-in-chief leaves to head startup that offers well-being training NEW YORK (AP) – The Huffington Post is going to be without a Huffington.

Arianna Huffington, The Huffington Post’s editor-in-chief, announced Thursday that she’s leaving to head a new health, well-being and productivity startup.

The one-time conservative commentator oversaw explosive growth at the liberal online blog and news site that she co-foundArianna ed in 2005, Huffington which went on to win a Pulitzer in less than a decade.

“I thought HuffPost would be my last act,” Huffington said in a tweet . “But I’ve decided to step down as HuffPost’s editor-in-chief to run my new venture, Thrive Global.”

The Huffington Post is now owned by Verizon Communications Inc., and her departure comes several weeks after Verizon said it was buying the media properties of Yahoo Inc. for about $4.8 billion. Representatives for New York-based Ver-

izon and The Huffington Post did not respond to a request for comment Thursday morning.

The site is known for its celebrity and newsmaker blogs and for cobbling together articles using information from different newspapers and other sources. In 2012, it won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting on its series of stories about wounded veterans.

Huffington’s new venture, Thrive Global, will provide training, seminars and coaching about reducing stress and exhaustion. The company, which is expected to launch in November, shares a name with her well-being book “Thrive.” Earlier this year, she published “The Sleep Revolution,” a book about getting more sleep.

Huffington said she couldn’t run The Huffington Post and Thrive Global at the same time.

“Running both companies would have involved working around the clock,” she said in a press release, “which would be a betrayal of the very principles of Thrive I’ve been writing and speaking about.”

BUSINESS Macy’s will close nearly 100 stores

would be announced at a later date.

Most of the closures will occur early next year and involve an unspecified number of job cuts, Macy’s said. Macy’s currently operates 675 full-line stores nationwide.

Macy’s said shutting the stores would enable it to bolster its online presence.

Macy’s Inc. said Thursday that it will close about 100 of its stores next year – about 15 percent – as the struggling retailer grapples with rapid changes in people’s buying habits.

NFL | BEARS FOOTBALL | 2016 SEASON PREVIEW | FULTON STEAMERS

Ready for next step Early success could propel Steamers back to playoffs

BY ERIC INGLES eingles@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5555 @Eric_Ingles

FULTON – The recent history of Fulton football has seen the Steamers often hovering somewhere near .500.

Fulton followed up records of 4-5 and 5-4 in 2012 and 2013 with a playoff trip and final 6-4 record in 2014 before falling to 4-5 last fall.

Last season, the Steamers opened the season on a three-game losing streak.

They recovered, winning four of the next six games, but not enough to get back to the playoffs.

“It was upsetting,” senior linebacker Cole McClary said.

“We thought we had a forsure playoff team. We were just really upset when we hit 4-5 and realized that we would have had the points if we got one more win.”

The Steamers have a core group of players who have been there before. McClary not only was part of a Steamers baseball team which took third place in the state in 2015, he is one of four players who were starters on that 2014 football team which reached the playoffs, along with quarterback Tyler Sweenie, running back Nate Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com McLuckie, and running back Fulton’s backs go through strip drills during practice Thursday afternoon.

What we learned in opener Offense struggled; D forced turnover

BY KEVIN FISHBAIN Shaw Media

CHICAGO – The Bears’ starting defense gave up a touchdown on its opening drive, and the starting offense got only one first down on three drives, culminating in a shaky start to the preseason.

Here are four things we learned Thursday in a 22-0 loss to the Denver Broncos in the preseason opener: 1. Alshon Jeffery is back:

The best news the Bears received, and the most important, was getting their top receiver on the field. A hamstring injury kept Jeffery out of a few practices and limited in the final two sessions in Bourbonnais, but he was healthy and on the field for the first three drives, catching the one pass thrown his way, a 12-yard gain on the Bears’ first play on offense.

Field. But in time, he should be given every opportunity to win his job back.

“Sam’s been working hard on the side with the training staff, so I think that obviously affects your condition,” defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. “But then no matter how much you work off on the side, it’s getting out there and playing football.

But I think it’s a good start for Sam. “Now, we just have to keep progressing him in terms of the reps that he gets and that type of thing, and the key is being able to keep him out on the field.”

Barrington is going to have to show he can hit with the same force at a lighter weight, while at the same time prove he’s added enough quickness to be effective in coverage. Suffice it to say, he’d like to be more than just a rundown player, but with Martinez’s strength being coverage, he’ll have some competition.

First and foremost, he has to establish complete confidence in his ankle.

“Any injury that you deal with, I think the first season you come back, you’re still going to be going through changes and growing confidence throughout, but you probably don’t get all the way comfortable with it until the following season,” Barrington said. “So I’m gaining confidence.

But when I’m on the field, I’m not thinking about it.”

General manager Ryan Pace made a concerted effort to bring back players who were core special teamers last season, and they all were active with the kicking units. Rookies Deiondre’ Hall and Deon Bush, and fullback Paul Lasike were the only players not on last year’s active roster to get reps with the starting kick return and coverage units.

It’s early, however, and it’ll eventually become a numbers and money game to fill the roster, so more and more rookies may start getting chances in the third phase.

Pinch-hitters Willson Contreras and Jorge Soler led off with singles against the lefty Duke (2-1), and Dexter Fowler walked to load the bases with one out. Kris Bryant struck out before Rizzo took a 3-1 pitch inside to give the Cubs their longest winning streak since getting 12 straight in 2001.

Mike Montgomery (4-5) allowed a single and two walks to load the bases in the 11th, before striking out Matt Carpenter to end the threat. He won his first game for Chica-

vis Wood in the seventh.

Brandon Moss also homered for St. Louis.

Chris Coghlan had a two-run single and David Ross an RBI bunt single in the sixth for the Cubs.

Both managers used their closers in the ninth.

Chicago’s Aroldis Chapman needed three pitches to get two liners to third and a groundout, while Seung Hwan Oh struck out the side for St. Louis. Oh then worked out of a 10th-inning jam.

The Cubs wasted three good opportunities before capitalizing.

After Coghlan’s two-out two-run single off Carlos Martinez tied it at 2, Ross bunted an 0-1 curveball between the mound and third base. Martinez threw to first, and it drew Carpenter off the bag as Jason Heyward scored to put Chicago ahead.

Danny Duffy pitched his first complete game to win his eighth straight decision, Cheslor Cuthbert had two hits and drove in a run and the Kansas City Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 2-1 on Thursday in Kansas City.

Duffy (9-1) limited the White Sox to seven singles, struck out six and walked none. The lefthander has not lost since

June 6 and has a 1.73 ERA in his past five starts.

Duffy threw 98 pitches, 71 for strikes.

Cuthbert tripled home Jarrod Dyson in the sixth and is second among AL rookies with 93 hits, 24 multihit games and a .303 batting average. Dyson was initially called out trying to steal second, but the Royals appealed and the call was overturned.

Cuthbert then scored the go-ahead run on Eric Hosmer’s single off Car-

son Fulmer (0-2). Fulmer has an 8.47 ERA in eight relief appearances.

Chicago’s Jason Coats, recalled Tuesday from Triple-A Charlotte, singled home Tim Anderson with two outs in the second for his first big league RBI. White Sox right-hander Miguel Gonzalez exited after 21 pitches with a right groin strain. After Salvador Perez fouled off a full-count pitch leading off the second, White Sox

manager Robin Ventura and trainer Herm Schneider came to the mound and led Gonzalez off.

The Sox put Gonzalez on the 15-day disabled list after the game.

Royals DH Kendrys Morales served his onegame suspension after dropping his appeal.

Morales was punished

by Major League Baseball for returning to the field Aug. 2 in Tampa Bay in the ninth inning after being ejected.

GOLF | JOHN DEERE CLASSIC

Zach attack again at the Deere Johnson in the thick of things after 6-under-par 65 By the Associated Press

SILVIS – Zach Johnson made himself right at home in the John Deere Classic – again.

From just up the road in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the two-time major champion shot a 6-under 65 on Thursday, leaving him two strokes behind leader Andrew Loupe in the suspended first round.

“I don’t know what it is, but I love the golf course,” said Johnson, the 2012 winner at TPC Deere Run. “I love the putting surfaces. I do know the moment I feel like I can take this place down is the moment it can bite me, so I’ve still got to stay focused and keep the pedal down.”

Loupe topped the leaderboard at 8 under when play was suspended because of darkness. The tournament was delayed for 3 1/2 hours by a storm that dropped just over an inch of rain. The round resumed at 3:08 p.m., with none of the afternoon starters able to finish.

Loupe will resume play Friday with a 6-foot par putt on the par-4 15th hole. The 27-year-old former LSU player had five birdies in a seven-hole stretch on the front nine and added birdies on 11, 13 and 14.

Patrick Rodgers and Ryan Moore were in at 65 with Johnson, and Tom Gillis also was 6 under with two holes left.

Johnson had five birdies in a seven-hole stretch in the bogey-free round that he started on the 10th tee.

The 12-time PGA Tour winner capped the run

on the par-5 second and also birdied the par-4 sixth.

“As far as the start and stop, we’re used to that,” Johnson said. “That’s not any secret. It happens all the time. There’s days where there’s a 30-minute delay, there’s days where, shoot, it takes 30-some odd hours to play 18 holes. I’m used to it. Relaxed a little bit, ate something, worked out a little bit, that kind of thing, just to stay loose, and then went back at it.”

Rodgers birdied the final hole for a back-nine 31.

“Today was a really solid day for me,” said Rodgers, the former Stanford star from Indiana. “I felt like I was very consistent tee to green and gave myself a lot of opportunities to make birdies. My only bogey was a threeputt. My only missed green was in the fringe, so I played really solid golf.

There wasn’t a whole lot of opportunities to make mistakes.”

Moore eagled the par-5 17th in his opening nine, and finished with a 30-foot par save on No. 9.

“I was playing well and you hate to drop a shot on the last hole,” the fourtime tour winner said. “I didn’t play the hole well by any means. I didn’t hit any good golf shots.

But a good putt can save just about anything, and that’s what happened.”

Jordan Spieth chose not to defend his title because he didn’t think it would be appropriate in light of his decision to skip the Rio Olympics.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL | NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH

Who will catch passes for Irish in 2016?

Wide receiver group as green as it gets for whoever wins Notre Dame’s QB job

BY TOM COYNE AP Sports Writer

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – The quarterback competition between DeShone Kizer and Malik Zaire is complicating the battle for starting spots among an inexperienced Notre Dame receiving corps.

“There are a lot of moving parts, so it’s really just a work in progress where we think when it’s time to play, we’ll have a pretty good group on the field.

It’s going to take some time for it all to jell together,” head coach Brian Kelly said after practice Thursday. “It’s not going to be in Game 1. This offense will be productive, and will get better as the season progresses.”

Torii Hunter Jr., expected to be the go-to receiver, has one career start and 35 career catches. That’s one more start and 34 more catches than any other wide receiver on the Irish roster.

Kelly, though, believes the Irish have the talent to replace Will Fuller and Chris Brown, now in the NFL; Corey Robinson, who ended his career early because of concussions; and Alize Jones, a tight end who was expected to play some at

returning a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns last year.

Kelly said the thing he stressed to St. Brown is he needs to be more consistent with route running.

“As I told him, the quarterback will adjust to you if you’re consistent. But if your routes are ever-changing and we don’t know where you’re going to be, that’s going to be a problem,” he said. “I think we can safely say he has the talent necessary to perform at that level.”

Kelly said Sanders has shown glimpses of what he can do on special teams; “now it’s going to have to show itself as an inside receiver.”

Other potential contributors are junior Corey Holmes, the fastest player on the team with a 4.39 time in the 40-yard dash; sophomore Miles Bokin; and Tribune News Service freshmen Kevin Stepherson, Notre Dame will look to Torii Hunter Jr. (right) to step up as the go-to receiver this season, after Chase Claypool, Deon McInlosing Will Fuller and Chris Brown to the NFL, and Corey Robinson to career-ending concussions. tosh and Javon McKinley.

CONTINUED FROM B1

t “Those four guys that have now been 3-year starters have done a great job for us, and they will continue to lead and do a great job for us,” Fulton coach Patrick Lower said.

“A lot of the juniors this year played as sophomores last year, whether it was special teams or they got in key situations with groupings, so even a lot of our juniors have varsity experience. From that standpoint, we’re fairly veteran that way.

“I don’t think they’re going to be in awe of the bright lights. I think they’re already going to understand how fastpaced a varsity ballgame is, and how intense it is.”

In order to get things back on the upswing, the Steamers have to stay healthy.

“That’s kind of bit us in the hind end 2 of the last 3 years,” Lower said.

“Injuries are a factor for every small-school football team; you just can’t have too many of them.”

Fulton has 54 players in camp, 26 of whom will be playing varsity.

Senior Kyle McLuckie comes in anchoring an offensive line that, like the skill positions, has some experience.

“Right now in practice, we’re learning each other’s tendencies,” he said.

“We’re seeing how we’re going to work together and working through the kinks.”

Not only has the offensive line played a lot, it has played together, which means less time getting used to each other.

t On defense, the top three in digs (Bubby Doubler, Heather Larak and Samantha Johnson) and the top two in blocks (Guentner and Kennedy) are gone; Eastland also lost its top three in aces (Larak, Johnson and Bailey DeMichele).

Senior outside hitter Makenzie Fink is back for her senior year after leading the area in kills last season with 469; she also had 189 digs and 32 stuff blocks. Beyers also returns after contributing an area-high 1,203 assists, along with 75 kills, 45 aces and 26 stuff blocks.

The Cougars also find themselves getting used to a new coach. Mallory Clements is entering her first season as the Eastland coach following the retirement of Kristy Pierce, who was the only head coach the Eastland program had ever known and amassed 941 career wins, which ranks fourth on the IHSA’s all-time list.

Eastland players already got a chance to play for Clements during summer league games.

“Summer was a very good snapshot of who I am as a coach,” Clements said. “There are moments where they’re still learning me a little bit, but there’s moments where they’re used to how I run things.”

“Her coaching style is a little different than the old one, so you have to get used to that,” Fink said.

“Nothing too major.”

“My junior class is really filling in the gaps, and even some of the sophomores are coming up and doing a good job so far,” Clements said. “Overall, we have plenty of people stepping up, and it’s encouraging.”

Clements has seen junior Katie Krogman getting good touches on the ball, and sophomore Gabby Snyder showing a lot of ability over the summer.

“They’re all learning about each other, and learning how they work well on the court,” Clements said.

They will be continuing to learn and to build that teamwork, which

Clements said is the biggest job for Eastland between now and Aug. 23, when the Cougars open the season against Oregon.

“Summer was a little glimpse of that,” Clements said. “But really getting down and dirty and learning the ins and outs of who you’re standing next to, that’s the biggest goal until we play Oregon.”

Once the season starts, the Cougars know that even with a new coach and a slew of new players, other teams will be setting their sights on a chance to take down the state champ.

“That’s a lot of fun, I think, that everyone wants to beat us,” Fink said. “It makes us just want to play harder.”

Super Simone soars Biles golden in all-around; Aly Raisman wins silver

BY WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer

Madeline Musselman of the United States (right) shoots and scores against China during women’s water polo preliminary round play Thursday.

U.S. women’s water polo rolls to win By the Associated Press

U.S. women’s water polo coach Adam Krikorian shook his head in disgust after an ugly turnover in the third. He put in five new swimmers after China scored in the fourth, and then clapped his hands at his bench as if trying for a late wake-up call.

And it hardly mattered.

The United States was in complete control right from the start, never in danger of losing to overmatched China. It turns out winning isn’t the only thing for the defending world and Olympic champions.

“We’re more concerned with how we play and trying to be as consistent as possible,” Krikorian said after the United States’ 12-4 victory on Thursday.

“I don’t think I saw that in the second half, and when you play every other day, there’s no reason to rest.

We’re getting plenty of rest on our off days, and we just got to keep it into a high gear there.”

The United States improved to 36-2 in 2016 with its 18th straight victory, rolling to titles on three continents before beating Spain 11-4 in its Olympic opener on Tuesday. It has scored in double figures 17 times during its win streak, totaling 231 goals overall and outscoring opponents by an average of seven goals.

Rugby: The Pacific Island nation of Fiji erupted into celebration on Friday after its rugby sevens team defeated Britain to capture the country’s first Olympic medal. The fact it was gold made it even more of a reason to party.

In the capital of Suva, fans packed the 15,000seat National Stadium to watch the final of the Olympic tournament on a big screen. Tense at first as they saw the nation poised on the brink of an historic achievement, fans relaxed as Fiji ran away to an emphatic 43-7 victory.

Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama, in Rio for

the games, issued a statement hailing “a wonderful moment in the history of our nation. We have won our first gold medal at a summer Olympic Games and every Fijian is rejoicing at home and around the world.”

Judo: An Olympic champion yet again, Kayla Harrison now has a chance to become an even bigger star.

Harrison earned her second straight gold medal in judo on Thursday, winning the 78-kilogram category at the Rio de Janeiro Games. After the bout, she was asked about turning her attention to a professional career in mixed martial arts.

She wouldn’t say.

“I’m just going to focus on being two-time Olympic champion and decide about punching people in the face at a later date,” said Harrison, a friend of MMA star Ronda Rousey.

Beach volleyball: Phil Dalhausser and Nick Lucena are through to the knockout stage of the Olympic beach volleyball tournament after an extra long victory over Italy.

The Americans won 21-13, 21-17, 24-22 on Thursday night to finish unbeaten in group play.

They will play the Austrian team of Robin Seidl and Alexander Huber in the round of 16.

The third set in a beach volleyball match is supposed to be up to 15 – but the team has to win by 2.

The Italians fought off a half-dozen match points before the Americans nailed it down.

2024: The IOC says all four cities bidding for the 2024 Olympics have been told not to invite media to their hospitality houses in Rio. The IOC originally said three cities – Los Angeles, Rome and Paris – received notices warning them that the media invitations were against the rules. It later said the fourth bid city – Budapest, Hungary – was reminded of the rules.

RIO DE JANEIRO – Simone Biles and Aly Raisman stood side by side in Rio Olympic Arena, clutching each other while waiting for the inevitable coronation.

When the floor exercise judges validated what Raisman and every other gymnast has known for years – that Biles is the greatest of her generation, and perhaps of all time – the U.S. Olympic team captain let her good friend go.

Suddenly Biles was alone in the spotlight, the normally giggly teenager fighting back tears as she waved to the family that raised her, the coaches that molded her, and the sport she is redefining.

The secret out. The pressure is gone. Biles belongs to the world now.

And history, too.

Dynamic on vault. Effortless on beam. Jaw-dropping on floor. Brilliant as ever. And now, finally, an Olympic champion.

Biles soared to the all-around title on Thursday night, putting the gap between herself and everyone else on full display for the whole world to see. Her total of 62.198 was well clear of Raisman, who finished her remarkable comeback with a silver medal, and Russia’s Aliya Mustafina.

“It doesn’t even feel real,” Biles said. “To me, I’m just the same Simone. ... But I feel the same. I just feel like I did my job tonight.”

One that she does better than anyone else.

Biles became the fourth straight American woman to capture the all-around, and fifth overall. She and Raisman joined Nastia Liukin

“I told her before today, I want you to win and I want second,” Raisman said.

Something that seemed far from certain last fall. A three-time Olympic medalist in London, Raisman appeared to be on the outside of the picture looking in after a shaky performance at the world championships that left her “devastated.”

Yet there she was 10 months later, standing on the podium with her fifth Olympic medal around her neck, the 22-year-old called “grandma” by her teammates

having the last laugh and getting a measure of revenge after losing bronze in the 2012 all-around final to Mustafina on a tiebreaker.

“It made me not think about things too much, and made me more confident,” Raisman said.

“I knew going into tonight I was going to get the silver medal because I was going to hit four events.”

That’s because gold has been out of reach for everyone but Biles for 3 years and counting. She arrived in Brazil with 14 world championship medals – 10 of them gold – with routines astonishing in their mix of ambition and precision.

Manuel, Oleksiak tie in 100 freestyle Phelps wins 22nd gold; Murphy wins 200 backstroke

BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

RIO DE JANEIRO – Michael Phelps waggled four fingers in the air, recognizing another historic achievement.

Now, he’s the first swimmer ever to win the same event at four straight Olympics.

Ryan Lochte was left in his wake every time.

In what was billed as the final showdown between two of America’s greatest swimmers, Phelps blew away Lochte – and everyone else – to win his fourth gold medal of the Rio Olympics and 22nd overall with a victory in the 200-meter individual medley Thursday night.

Phelps finished a full body-length ahead of the field with total dominance on the breaststroke and freestyle legs, finishing in 1 minute, 54.66 seconds.

AP

Simone Manuel of the U.S. (left) and Canada’s Penny Oleksiak celebrate after winning the gold medal in the women’s 100-meter freestyle.

He’s got one more individual event at what he insists will really be his final Olympics, and will be looking to add a fourth straight gold in the 100 butterfly to his staggering résumé. Then, he’ll close

out these Olympics in the 4x100 medley relay.

Led by Phelps, it was quite a night for the powerful American team, which picked up two more golds when Ryan Murphy completed a

sweep of the men’s backstroke events in the 200, and Simone Manuel tied 16-year-old Canadian Penny Oleksiak for the top spot in the 100 freestyle, stunning worldrecord holder Cate Campbell of Australia.

With the win, Manuel became the first AfricanAmerican woman to win gold in swimming.

Campbell was under her own world-record pace at the turn, but had nothing coming back and fell all the way to sixth.

Murphy extended redwhite-and-blue dominance of the backstroke events that goes back to 1992.

Three days after winning the 100 back, Murphy touched first again in 1:53.62.

Murphy became the third American man in the last five Olympics to take both races.

RIO DE JANEIRO – On a day of firsts for Olympic golf, Marcus Fraser of Australia had the one that mattered – the first-round lead.

Fraser ran off four straight birdies before the wind arrived, and kept right on going until he had an 8-under 63, giving him a three-shot lead over British Open champion Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Graham DeLaet of Canada.

Better yet? He set an Olympic record Thursday, though that was hardly a surprise considering golf had not been part of the Olympics since 1904.

“That’s pretty cool,” Fraser said. “So hopefully, that lasts all week.”

There was plenty for golf to celebrate in its return to the Olympics, from the

opening tee shot by Adilson da Silva of Brazil to the first hole-in-one by Justin Rose, who wasn’t even sure his 7-iron from 189 yards on the fourth hole had gone in the cup until he heard the crowd.

And yes, it was quite the crowd.

No one was quite sure what to expect from the gallery on the first day, in a country with very little golf heritage and with no medals awarded until Sunday.

Padraig Harrington was surprised to see more than 6,000 spread out across Olympic Golf Course, holding flags along the fairway ropes and sending cheers from all corners.

It all started with da Silva, the only Brazilian in the 60-man field, so nervous over that opening shot that “my head was every-

where,” he said. His drive went straight down the middle, and golf was on its way.

“The end of a long journey,” said Peter Dawson, president of the International Golf Federation. “Or the beginning of a new one.”

DeLaet, who has struggled with the yips in his short game so badly that he took 6 weeks off this summer, was in the first group to honor George Lyon, the Canadian who last won a gold medal in golf at the St. Louis Games. He didn’t need much of a short game by hitting 14 out of 18 greens. And he knows his history.

“It’s been a while since we’ve won a gold,” DeLaet cracked when he finished.

Stenson was in the last group and faced the

strongest wind, but the Swede who set a major championship scoring record at Royal Troon dropped only one shot. His biggest struggle was with fans taking photos with their mobile phones.

“It was a patience test out there,” Stenson said.

“I think we had to back off quite a lot of shots. There were more mobile phones and cameras than normal, I guess because it’s a different crowd out there than we normally have.”

The biggest surprise came from the Americans.

Rickie Fowler said earlier in the week that with four Americans in the field – no other country has more than two – they could sweep the podium. After one round, Matt Kuchar at 69 was the only American to break par.

Keep counting high-card points

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

​Joni Mitchell, a Canadian singer-songwriter, was given her inspiration by classical music. She said, “Rachmaninoff made a musician out of me.

His ‘Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini’ was the piece that sent me into raptures.”

Bridge has themes, although they rarely send players into raptures! Today, we have a deal featuring a theme covered a couple of times recently – but which one?

South is in four spades.

West leads the heart ace: 10, two, five. What should happen next?

After South opened two notrump, West was tempted to overcall three hearts, but the vulnerability was unfavorable and he hoped he might be able to defeat three no-trump

from his own hand. However, when North used a transfer bid, South jumped to game – a superaccept – with fourcard support and a doubleton somewhere.

West can see three defen-

sive tricks: one spade and two hearts. Where is trick four?

West must count the highcard points. Dummy has six, and West holds 13, leaving only 21 for South and East.

Clearly, East doesn’t have a winner. Somehow, East-West must take two trump tricks.

When the defenders have taken every possible side-suit trick, give a ruff-and-sluff. It cannot cost and might gain.

Here, West should cash his heart king, then play a third heart. Declarer will probably ruff on the board and play a trump to his king. West takes that trick and leads a fourth heart.

When East ruffs with his spade 10, it uppercuts South’s queen and promotes a trick for West’s jack.

If you can count only one thing, track the high-card points. © 2016 UFS

Sauk Valley Media • B13

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Offer your time, talent and knowledge to others, but not your hard-earned cash.

Someone will recognize what you have to contribute and make an offer you can’t refuse.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An organized approach to whatever you do will be impressive and will raise your profile. Someone from your past is likely to cause problems that can upset your personal life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Mull over certain concerns and their attendant options carefully. If you get involved in matters that you know little about, you will be taken advantage of and put in a vulnerable position.

Protect your reputation.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Not everything will be a good fit for you when dealing with personal, financial or professional matters. Stick to what you know and do best. Love and romance look promising.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Set your plans in motion and step into the spotlight.

Effect the changes that will make you happy. Taking control will empower you to do your own thing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Keep your life simple and refuse to get embroiled in an argument that will leave you in a no-win situation.

Focus inward and sign up for self-improvement projects.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- A challenge will help you realize how much you have to offer and encourage you to bring about change that will allow you to put your best foot forward.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Spend time with the people you love. Visiting someone special or attending an event that will reconnect you with old friends will have a profound influence on you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Force, ultimatums or emotional manipulation must be avoided; such tactics will lead to financial, emotional or physical loss that will set you back. Avoid indulgence and deception.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Making changes at home or deciding to move from one place to another looks promising. A romantic relationship will provide you with the incentive required to follow your dreams. ©2016 UFS
