ELECTION 2016 | ILLINOIS RACES

A matter of checks and balance Republicans from the top down are writing a lot more checks to tip the balance of power in their favor CHICAGO (AP) – State Rep. Michael McAuliffe is no stranger to being at the center of a power struggle that could define the future of Illinois.

Twenty years ago, the only Republican lawmaker in Chicago had just taken over his late father’s district when he found himself targeted by Democrats fighting to regain the majority they’d lost 2 years

before. That November, Democrats won back the majority they’ve held ever since, and McAuliffe got a taste of the attention he faces again this year in a fight raging from St. Louis’ Metro East suburbs to Kankakee to Chicago’s Northwest Side.

“We knew this was going to be a battleground,” McAuliffe said.

This year, the political clash in Illinois pits the nation’s longest-serving state House speaker, Michael Madigan, against first-term Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner, who is using his vast wealth to fund GOP candidates in an effort to diminish the supermajorities Democrats have held in the Illinois Legislature since 2013. The 2 years House

Democrats were in the minority in the mid-1990s marked the only time in the past 32 years that Madigan was not speaker.

For Republicans, getting majorities in either chamber will be difficult because Democrats have built large leads: 71-47 in the House, and 39-20 in the Senate.

TRICKS AND TREATS ON DIXON STREETS

The tip of a $71 billion iceberg $4.5 billion contribution barely begins to dig pension fund out of a deep hole

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5570 @pam_eggemeier

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois teachers’ pension fund is owed $71.4 billion, and the state will be expected to increase its contribution by 14.5 percent in fiscal year 2018.

The Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois announced Friday it had given preliminary approval to a contribution request for $4.56 billion to its pension fund.

The changes in state law made last year for determining actuaries’ estimates for adequately funding pensions have greatly increased the amount of contributions statewide.

The Teacher’s Retirement System said of the projected $4.56 billion contribution, just $974 million is needed to pay the cost of pensions for that year. The remaining $3.5 billion is to go toward the amount owed from previous years.

This young man must have had a stabbing headache Saturday as he marched through the Dixon Noon Lions Club’s annual Halloween parade. Dixon streets were full of superheroes, monsters, queens, ninjas and even a box of crayons as a parade of Halloween spirit – and spirits – marched down city streets for the parade, part of the fun festivities that took place downtown from 8 a.m. to noon. Kids were treated to a treat, and could take part in costume judging. They’ll get to don their costumes again as they head out on the hunt for candy today in Dixon, where the trick-or-treat hours will run from 5 to 7:30 p.m. – and the weather should be well-suited to Halloween handouts. Temperatures are forecast be in the low 60s for much of the day. For a list of other trick-or-treat times in the Sauk Valley, turn to Page A11.

offender registries in the 1990s has brought about these more publicly accessible lists that keep tabs on a wider range of offenders once they’re out of prison. A nationwide review by The Associated Press found that such registries have grown over the past decade and that more proposals are being considered.

Backers say helping people know more about their neighbors will make them safer.

Yet studies have shown offender registries do little to reduce crime.

Anti-domestic violence groups in states that have considered expanded registries suggest that money spent to maintain them would be better used on programs to stop violence before it happens. Keeping sex offender lists updated alone costs well over $1 million each year for many states, a price partially covered by fees offenders must pay.

Some researchers contend the lists, searchable online, can prevent offenders from finding jobs and homes, making it more likely they’ll offend again.

The increasing number of offender registries can be traced to a basic need to control threats around us, said Molly Wilson, a law professor at St. Louis University. “The data doesn’t bear it out that the registries make people safer, but it does make them happier,� she said.

CRIME

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) – In the desperate hours after a University of Toledo student disappeared while bicycling this summer, her friends scanned the state’s list of sex offenders and started knocking on doors.

But their search didn’t lead them down the road to an ex-con who had spent time in prison for abducting another woman – because he had never been convicted of a sex crime.

Now the family of Sierah Joughin, who investigators say was abducted and killed by a neighbor with a hidden past, wants Ohio lawmakers to follow the lead of at least seven other states, including Illinois, that tracks violent offenders. “If you’re trying to get back in society and you’re trying to be a productive member of society, you have to own what you did,� said Joughin’s mother, Sheila Vaculik.

Like the international organization it’s part of, the local chapter provides affordable homes to families, helped by the efforts of donations and volunteers. Habitat for Humanity’s roots stretch back to the 1960s, when the seeds of the idea were planted at Koinonia Farm, a small, interracial, Christian community outside of Americus, Georgia. The parent organization was founded in Americus in 1976 and since then, has helped put a roof over the heads of almost 7 million people through its chapters in nearly 1,400 communities across the U.S. and in more than 70 countries around the world. The local chapter has a goal of building one new home each year, and to have that home ready in time for a Thanksgiving dinner.

Wheaton woman keeps wildlife from getting tangled up in fishing gear WHEATON (AP) – A Wheaton resident who volunteers with a bird rescue group scans the ground near popular DuPage County fishing spots in search of fishing line that can harm wildlife.

Amy Tavolino told the Daily Herald that she has seen numerous animals injured by fishing line and hooks at suburban Chicago parks and forest preserves, including birds entangled in monofilament fishing line that doesn’t decompose.

DuPage forest preserve officials

say discarded monofilament fishing line has been an issue for years at the more popular fishing spots.

The Forest Preserve District of DuPage County began installing recycling bins for monofilament line, which is made from a single fiber of plastic, around busier lakes about 5 years ago, said Bob McNeel, assistant manager of the district’s west rangers.

Hundreds of wild animals injured by fishing tackle are cared for each year at Willowbrook Wildlife Center in Glen Ellyn, according to the district’s fishing guide. The facility

treats injured native species with the hope of releasing them back into the wild.

Tavolino said she has seen Canada geese with their legs bound together by fishing line, ducks with hooks in their mouths, and ensnared birds that could have died if they weren’t freed from lines. She said fishermen must properly dispose of unwanted line, hooks, lures and bobbers.

“I am not anti-fishing,” Tavolino said. “I just want to get the word out because there are so many people who don’t know about this.”

Survey: Final wish comes down to control more than pain The research suggests that patients’ motivations are more complicated than they’re often portrayed and could affect or shape how people vote on the issue in other cities and states.

Colorado voters will decide on a ballot initiative to legalize physician aid-in-dying in November.

The city council in Washington, D.C., is expected to vote on legalizing the practice next month.

Supporters of “death with dignity” have succeeded in legalizing medical aid-in-dying in five states by convincing voters, lawmakers and courts that terminally ill patients have the right to die without suffering intractable pain in their final days or weeks.

Yet the latest research shows that terminally ill patients who seek out aidin-dying aren’t primarily concerned about pain.

Those who’ve actually used these laws thus far have been far more concerned about controlling the way they exit the world than controlling pain.

San Francisco vying for Lucas museum

Director: Pension problem is 76 years in the making PENSIONS

Tribune News Service

San Francisco Supervisor Jane Kim plans to introduce a resolution supporting George Lucas’ proposal for a museum on Treasure Island, a campaign consultant confirmed Sunday.

The resolution, expected this week, touts the cultural and job opportunities the project would bring, as well as pointing out its cost: free and wholly funded by Lucas himself.

“She knows the benefits to her constituents and to the broader city in terms of jobs, revenues and bringing another cultural institution to San Francisco,” said Eric Jaye, Kim’s campaign consultant.

The resolution is the latest in the competition between Los Angeles and San Francisco to land the long-delayed museum, which would display Lucas’ personal art collection, which includes works from

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Illinois’ capital city has launched free Wi-Fi in downtown areas.

The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reports that the wireless network is best for outdoor use and might not work indoors.

Mayor Jim Langfelder said in a recent statement that the free high speed Wi-Fi is a step toward improving economic and visitor appeal to downtown.

The Teachers’ Retirement System of the State of Illinois is the 37th largest pension system in the nation. It provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits to teachers, administrators, and other public schools personnel employed outside of Chicago. The system has 406,855 members, and reported assets of $45.6 billion as of Sept.

ISU offers degree in cybersecurity

NORMAL (AP) – Students at Illinois State University will be able to get an undergraduate degree

in cybersecurity.

The school’s board of trustees approved the creation of the program at its recent board meeting.

The university’s School of Information Technology will administer the program. University officials say the program is designed to help students acquire the skills and knowledge to protect information and information systems.

Students will be trained to asses security needs of network systems and

recommend safeguards, among other things.

About 125 students are expected to enroll once the program is fully implemented.

“Most of the fiscal year 2018 contribution is a self-inflicted wound,” TRS Executive Director Dick Ingram said. “That money could be spent on other priorities today if the state of Illinois had fully met its obligations in the past.”

While next year’s contribution to the teachers’ pensions is an eye-popping figure, it is far short of the actuaries’ ceiling.

Using the new accounting standards, the state’s annual contribution should be $6.88 billion to catch up with its unfunded liability.

“By any measure, $4.56 billion is a lot of money, but that amount is a direct product of the perpetual underfunding of TRS by state government over the last 76 years,” Ingram said.

Making the situation worse is the continued sluggish performance of pension funds’ investment returns. Upon the advice of the actuaries, the projected rate of return was dropped from 7.5 percent 7 percent in August.

“Pension math is unforgiving – TRS and other pension systems across the country are lowering their assumed investment rates because all indicators point to slow-

ing returns in the future,” Ingram said.

The investment rates also were lowered in 2014 and 2012, and those numbers will be revisited each year.

TRS membership doesn’t include Chicago teachers. That city’s educators belong to the Chicago Teachers’ Pension Fund, which has more than 63,000 members, and pays out nearly $1.3 billion in benefits annually. The pension is largely funded by Chicago public schools.

Illinois law requires that TRS annually provide the state with an estimated pension fund contribution by Nov. 1. The state actuary must review the calculations, and if approved, the TRS board will give its final approval to the request early next year.

Work on the Aldi expansion at 3409 E. Lincolnway is wrapping up, and the company plans to reopen the store Nov. 11.

Remodel will add 3,300 square feet ALDI

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

The store has been closed for construction since Sept. 25. Many Aldi stores are undergoing renovations, with much of the redesign planning driven by a need for more refrigeration space.

“We’ve been expanding our natural and organic choices, and as customer needs have changed, we just didn’t have enough refrigeration room,” said Heather Moore, Aldi’s Dwight division vice president.

The Sterling store will reopen with an additional 3,300 square feet of space, while the work in Dixon won’t include an expansion.

“We’ll make some

changes internally to the Dixon store that will allow us to expand the sales floor and refrigeration area,” Moore said.

Renovations at the Dixon Aldi at 1760 S. Galena Ave. should begin before the end of the year.

The company said it used input from local customers in its renovation plans. The new look in Sterling will include higher ceilings, energyefficient lighting, new shelving, colors, and signage. The company is using environmentally friendly building materials in its renovation projects.

The company said the Sterling store will see more Aldi premium products, such as organic produce, a gluten-free line, and its SimplyNature

The Aldi business model is based on eliminating overhead costs, and sharing the savings with its customers. The company cuts costs by using its own brands, building smaller stores, and staying open only during prime shopping hours.

Aldi also saves money by using open-carton displays and a cart rental system, and encouraging shoppers to use their own bags.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

WASHINGTON SPOTLIGHT

What happened to Ohio? Trump views resonate Bellwether state just might get it wrong this year, or maybe not

Nate Beeler, GateHouse News Service

THE READER’S VOICE

Veterans card is accepted at local hospital TERRY WOODARD Sterling

To all disabled veterans: If you have a Veteran’s Choice Card, all of CGH Medical Center family physicians accept it, along with most specialty services. Many other types of veterans coverage cards are also accepted at CGH, including Tricare, Champus, VA of Iowa City, VA of Madison, and VA Veteran’s Choice.

However, with these types of cards, prior authorization is required for all services and it is up to the veteran to obtain the necessary approvals before any appointment or elective surgery. This process may take 10 days or longer. If prior approval is not obtained, the bill is paid by the veteran.

My name is Terry Woodard, and I am the superintendent of the Whiteside County Veterans Assistance Commission, and I am here and available to help you through this process if you need it.

My office is located in the lower level of the CGH Downtown Clinic (enter on the west side), in a space that CGH graciously donates to the Veterans Assistance Commission to serve all the veterans who live here.

Contrary to the previous reader’s opinion [“Veterans card isn’t accepted at local hospital,” Oct. 25] CGH cares very deeply about helping and supporting our disabled veterans. Call 815-6268640, or stop in during my office hours, Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

We transport veterans to Iowa City, Madison, and Hines VA hospitals, and all of the various VA clinics in the area at no charge. We also offer pro-

grams to assist veterans with rent and utilities.

Each month, more than 140 veterans in Whiteside County are seen by the physicians at CGH. There is also a biller who specializes in VA billing to help. The CGH Health Foundation also offers transportation assistance.

Again, our local hospital is very supportive of the veterans in our community, and I am here to help you with that process if you need it.

Note to readers: Terry Woodard is superintendent of the Whiteside County VA and can be reached at 815-626-8640.

Restore DHS and keep our city’s heritage DR. JAMES HEY Jr. Dixon

Next week we will vote on some very important issues. There is a movement by the school board and local committees to build a new Dixon High School. I understand $33,000 is being spent to promote this idea.

We have one of the most beautiful high schools in the Midwest on a very unique setting beside the Rock River. Over the years, I have heard many from out of town comment on its beautiful architecture. Building a metal and glass box out in the middle of a farm field is NOT the right idea.

We should restore our beautiful high school and keep the heritage of our community, as they do in most European countries.

Our school population is dropping in general, and fewer kids are being born. We don’t need a larger school.

There has been discussion about finding a use for the school after it has been abandoned. But, no use will be found.

Eventually it will end up in ruins, only to be torn down.

I have lived in Dixon

my whole life, attended DHS, and was on the school board for 8 years.

My vote and my voice say: Maintain this beautiful architecture. The cost will be way less and the result far superior.

Get engaged; make America great again RICHARD TANTON Sterling

I am no longer concerned about the Democratic nominee for president. She has disqualified herself for the office by her devious, deceitful and deplorable actions.

Rather, I am concerned about two other groups.

First, those who would vote for her because they are misinformed and misled by the extreme left-wing media (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post and many others) that have spewed slanted views in the news and editorials about words spoken and gestures made while nearly ignoring criminal actions and failures to act made by others.

Please get the facts. All politicians boast, but not all are culpable of four American deaths.

The second group is the millions of young people turned off to political and civil engagement who plan on not voting.

My answer to them is this: The goal of the vast left-wing conspiracy is to control government, the media and all levels of education to further its own narrow view of this country and the world.

Don’t let them win.

Support the many decent, honest and optimistic people of both parties who want to seek real solutions under our Constitution. Don’t let the devious, deplorable, deceitful candidate drag our country down.

Make America great again.

Conservatives need to vote on Election Day MARLENE GAUL Polo

America finds itself in a sad situation with two unpopular candidates.

As a conservative, I urge you not to just sit home, but to vote.

With the death of Judge Scalia, a very wise man, it is very important to get a Republican president in to appoint conservative candidates for judges to save the true, accurate meaning of the Constitution.

We need to vote in Republican senators and representatives to the states to stand behind our Republican governors.

One of the lies about abortion when it was originally passed was, it would be rare. Well, since that time, millions of [fetuses] have been aborted. Does that sound rare? What has happened to the oath doctors take? Most would be healthy babies if carried full term.

When will abortion ever stop? People, it will stop only if we do something.

Make your vote count.

There are many couples who would love to get a baby. I have a niece and nephew who have tried for years to adopt a baby. I know there are many more like this.

VOTE.

Gulp! Won’t be a do-over PAUL ANDERSON Mount Morris

Regarding the letter from Jay Bauer of Walnut [“Has no faith in Noah’s ark,” The Reader’s Voice, Oct. 27]: When you arrive at God’s portal to eternity, your only reply will be, GULP! God doesn’t give doovers. Sorry, but true.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio – Two weeks before the election, on the same day Donald Trump’s campaign announced he would hold a big rally here at the Clark County Fairgrounds, the dreary storefront office of Hillary for President, supposedly open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily, was still closed at 3:45 p.m.

Oh, the times, they are a changing.

Ohio used to be the bellwether – whither Ohio, at least in election politics, so went the nation. In 2004, President George W. Bush pinned his hopes for reelection on Clark County and won. In 2008, the state went to Barack Obama.

Throughout U.S. history, no Republican has won the White House without Ohio. The University of Virginia’s Center for Politics examined results of presidential elections dating to 1896 and determined no state had a higher percentage of picking the winner than Ohio.

Ohioans picked the winner in 28 out of 30 elections – 93 percent.

This election may make Ohio’s reputation as the bellwether state a shibboleth and throw its unique election-predicting power into the dustbin of history.

This November, Clark County is likely to vote for Trump, even though the money-grubbing Trump campaign is not providing enough yard signs or bumper stickers to his supporters. The calls of Republican officials around the country to Trump headquarters often go unanswered. Many supporters have to buy their own Trump signs online.

AS FOR OHIO, IT IS too close to call, although Trump is currently given a slight edge. Hillary Clinton may well win the White House, and Ohio may well vote for Trump.

What has happened?

Even though Ohio’s overall economy is recovering from the 2008 recession, the worst since the Depression, many counties here, including Clark, are struggling to revitalize. Trump’s three prongs – anti-immigration, antitrade and anti-war – resonate with many workers paid less than they once were now that their industries have left town or closed altogether. Clark County has lost 15 percent of its manufacturing jobs in the past decade.

And patriotic Ohioans – more than 200,000 served in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – are tired of war. (Trump boasts of plans to blow up “those

suckers” and kill their families when he talks of the Islamic State.)

In Ohio, it’s all about the disappearing middle class. It’s about parents struggling to make the rent or the mortgage payment, scratching by to feed their children, and all but giving up hope those youngsters will be able to go to college. Drugs have become a huge problem in this dwindling city of Springfield, which once epitomized America’s can-do spirit of optimism.

Clark County was once the world’s largest provider of farm implements. Its International Harvester trucks were the industry standard.

IN 1983, Newsweek magazine devoted its 50th anniversary issue to Springfield. Titled “The American Dream,” the issue was devoted to celebrating Springfielders, “the men and women who live the news, the unsung people who make our country.”

Despite despair here over Trump’s racism, sexism, outright bigotry, lack of discipline, and offensive, irrational braggadocio so at odds with the religious, conservative, industrious citizens of Springfield, the city and Ohio have the demographics closest to Trump’s message. Ohio has a larger percentage of white citizens without college degrees than almost any other battleground state.

The anger of far too many people without hope of attaining the future they once dreamed of is palpable in this city. So are the anger and disgust at Washington, blamed for not listening, not understanding, and total inaction except to benefit the wealthy and powerful.

But, slowly, optimism is returning, with city leaders working hard to attract new service industry jobs, better parks, a rejuvenated downtown and a better life for citizens.

If Springfield goes narrowly for Trump, it won’t be because people here admire him. It will be because they need opportunities and a fair shake.

Earlier this month, Clinton sent her running mate, Tim Kaine, to Clark County to stump for her.

Hopefully he returned to Clinton headquarters with a message: The good people of Ohio don’t need a handout; they need a hand up.

Mom resents supporting her daughter Dear Abby, My 34-year-old daughter, “Martha,” is a single mom. I adore my granddaughter. Martha needs me to give her $500 a month, plus cover emergencies (new tires, hospital bills for baby, etc.) in order to get by. She has said repeatedly that she wants to have another baby before she’s 35.

Abby, it’s a financial burden to help her as much as we have. My husband (her stepdad) believes, along with me, that we should help until her finances improve.

Martha is awash in student debt and has a lowpaying job. She lives 12 hours away, so we have to fly out to see them, which means we don’t see them often.

use access to my granddaughter as leverage to keep the money coming.

I’m appalled that she’s in this position and upset that I have to pay for her choices.

– Appalled in Ohio

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

My question: How can I tell her that having a second baby when she can’t support the first is something I can’t handle financially? I am becoming resentful. Our retirement has been dismal because all our money is going to her.

My daughter has a hairtrigger temper and would

Dear Appalled, You don’t have to pay for your daughter’s choices. Tell Martha that as an adult it is her responsibility – not yours – to provide for herself and her child, and that if she becomes pregnant before her finances improve to the point that she’s self-supporting, not to expect one more penny from you.

Please consider starting to reduce the amount you give her and set a deadline beyond which

you will no longer supplement her income.

Martha might need to find a second job, but that’s better than you spending all your retirement money shouldering her responsibilities.

Expect her to be angry.

If she threatens to blackmail you with access to your grandchild, tell her that the person she’ll be punishing is the little one, not you, and stick to your guns.

Dear Abby, My husband has purchased different pieces of equipment over the years. He recently bought a small tractor that he’s very proud of and enjoys using around our property. He also has purchased a large trailer

that he often uses to haul his equipment and other things.

His problem is friends who seem to think they can help themselves to his stuff. They actually have the audacity to say, “I may borrow your tractor, trailer, etc., tomorrow.” I find this to be rude in that they are not asking – they are telling him they will.

I told him to say he doesn’t loan his equipment out, but he can’t seem to be able to say that. Do you have a good comeback that he could use without offending his friends?

– Frazzled Wife Dear Frazzled, You, not your husband, appear to be the person with the problem.

Nowhere in your letter did you mention that he thinks he has one. If he resents what these friends are doing, a solution might be for him to tell them to talk to you about borrowing the equipment, so you can refuse for him.

Last week, the Batesville Guard newspaper published an obituary for – spoiler alert– the popular character of Glenn Rhee, who was brutally killed in the newest episode of the zombie apocalypse drama.

With a headline of “RIP, Glenn,” the obituary says the character’s “commitment to moral principles

in a world-gone-mad breathed hope and promise into those around him.”

The obit seeks justice for Rhee’s death in lieu of flowers.

The newspaper says the obituary was written by Frank Vaughn, a soldier stationed in Puerto Rico who writes occasional columns for the newspaper.

HEALTH CARE

Seniors have to not grin and bear it Older Americans face a tough time taking care of their teeth, something a Medicare dental benefit could help fix Tribune News Service

Aging can take a toll on teeth, and for many seniors, paying for dental services is a serious concern because they can’t rely on their Medicare coverage.

Low-income seniors, in particular, are struggling. More than a third with incomes below 200 percent of the federal poverty level (about $23,000 annually) had untreated tooth decay between 2011 and 2014, according to an analysis of federal data by the American Dental Association.

“What ends up happening is that almost everybody, when they get to be 65, is sort of on their own and they have to pay for dental care out of pocket,” said Dr. Michael Helgeson, chief executive officer of Apple Tree Dental. Apple Tree is a Minneapolis-based nonprofit organization operating eight clinics in Minnesota and California that target underserved seniors, as well as mobile units that provide on-site dental care at nursing homes and other facilities.

Traditional Medicare doesn’t usually cover dental care

unless it’s related to services received in a hospital. Medicare Advantage managed care plans generally provide some dental care, but the coverage can vary, and often is minimal, dental advocates say. The plans often are “a loss leader,” said Dr. Judith Jones, a professor of dentistry at Boston University.

“It’s meant to attract people. It gets people in but the coverage is really limited.”

In a way, older people are victims of dentistry’s success.

Regular visits to the dentist, along with daily tooth brushing and water fluoridation, have all contributed to improvements in oral health. In the first half of the 20th century, by the time people reached their 30s or 40s many had already lost all their teeth, Helgeson said, while today more than 60 percent of people in nursing homes still have at least one tooth.

But teeth need tending. Without regular dental care, tooth problems can cause pain and limit how much and what type of food people are able to eat. Similarly, gum disease can loosen teeth and allow bacteria to enter the body. A

growing body of research has linked treating periodontal disease with lower medical costs for diabetes and heart disease, among other conditions.

People’s lives are affected in other ways by their oral health.

“You use your mouth to eat and kiss and smile and interact socially,” said Jones. “It’s a source of great embarrassment and suffering for many adults without access to care.”

With limited income and no insurance, seniors might skip visiting the dentist regularly, even though many report that their mouths are dry and painful, and they have difficulty biting and chewing, not to mention avoiding smiling and social interaction if they have missing or damaged teeth.

Medicaid, the state-federal program for lower income people, covers dental care for children in every state, but coverage for adults is much spottier.

Most states cover emergency dental care, but eight states offer no adult dental benefits at all, according to a study by Oral Health America, an advocacy group.

Even trying to purchase

private dental insurance, which typically covers a few thousand dollars worth of dental care, might not provide good value, said Marko Vujicic, vice president of the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute.

“When you add up the premiums and copays, for the vast majority of adults it’s not worthwhile to have dental insurance,” he said.

Seniors with traditional Medicare spent $737 on average out-of-pocket on dental care in 2012, said Tricia Neuman, director of the Program on Medicare Policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation.

But the figures could be much higher for people who need major restorative work.

“I know people who are spending sometimes more than $10,000 on what they consider essential dental care, like implants, none of which is covered,” Neuman said.

Seniors with limited means have few options for help affording dental care. Federally qualified health centers might provide geriatric dental services on a sliding-fee scale, and

clinics like Apple Tree help a limited number of seniors who live in their service area. But they’re a band-aid, said Jones.

She and other advocates want Medicare to add a dental benefit to Medicare Part B. Their proposal would provide a basic bundle of diagnostic and preventive services through a premium increase, and seniors would be responsible for copayments only if they need pricey restorative work such as crowns and bridges.

“Over the years, there has been some interest in expanding Medicare to include dental coverage,” Neuman said. But a dental benefit has faced stiff competition from other priorities, including adding a prescription drug benefit in 2006 and preventive coverage under the health law in 2010.

But some people think this time might be different. “There are 250,000 people every month who are turning 65, and 30 percent of dentists say they could use more business,” said Beth Truett, president and CEO of Oral Health America, which supports the proposal. “It’s a perfect storm.”

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, a Hungarian-American biochemist and Nobel Prize winner who shot himself in the arm during World War I so that he could finish his medical studies, said, “Discovery consists of looking at the same thing as everyone else and thinking something different.”

In bridge, if everyone had the same thoughts, the bidding and play of a given deal would always be the same.

But, of course, that doesn’t happen. Also, several deals give both sides, declarer and the defense, a chance to do something clever.

Today, we will look at the declarer-play in this deal.

Tomorrow, we will turn to the defenders. South is in five di-

amonds. How should he plan the play after West cashes two spade tricks, then shifts to a heart?

The bidding was complicated. North had to pass on the first round because he

had no five-card suit and was too short in hearts for a takeout double. North’s secondround two-spade cue-bid showed a strong hand: at least a good 12 points opposite South’s balancing double. North’s three-spade cue-bid was an unsuccessful attempt to get into three notrump. To make the contract, South had to play the trump suit without loss. Who had the diamond queen?

Declarer counted up the high-card points. He had 15, and dummy held 13. That left only 12 outstanding, but since West had opened the bidding, he had to have the diamond queen.

South played a diamond to his king at trick four, then ran the diamond jack through West. When that won, declarer drew the last trump and claimed. © 2016 UFS

ELECTION 2016 | RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE

Official: FBI knew about latest Clinton e-mails for weeks WASHINGTON (AP) – FBI investigators in the Anthony Weiner sexting probe knew for weeks about the existence of newly discovered emails potentially related to the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s private email server, a law enforcement official said Sunday.

In his letter that roiled the White House race, FBI Director James Comey said he was briefed Thursday about that development. He told Congress on Friday that the bureau had found emails in an unrelated case that might be

relevant to the Clinton inquiry.

The emails were found on a device that belonged to Weiner, the estranged husband of close Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

A second law enforcement official also said the FBI was aware for a period of time about the emails before Comey was briefed, but wasn’t more specific.

The officials were not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The timing of Comey’s letter just 11 days before Election Day drew criti-

cism from Democrats and some Republicans who cast it as unprecedented and potentially tipping the scales in the presidential race in favor of Republican Donald Trump.

Energized by the news, the GOP presidential nominee has rallied his supporters, calling the latest developments worse than Watergate and arguing that his candidacy has the momentum in the final days of the race.

“We never thought we were going to say ‘thank you’ to Anthony Weiner,” Trump said in Nevada.

Trump also highlighted

reports that the Justice Department had discouraged the FBI from alerting Congress to the unexpected discovery of the emails, and said the department is trying “so hard” to protect Clinton.

Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of State has dogged her campaign since early last year. In July, Comey recommended against criminal prosecution after a months-long investigation, but rebuked Clinton and her aides for being careless with classified material.

Justice Department offi-

cials who were advised of the FBI’s intention to notify Congress about the discovery expressed concern that the action would be inconsistent with department protocols designed to avoid the appearance of interference in an election.

In an apparent departure from the wishes of top Justice Department leaders, Comey acted independently when he sent several members of Congress a letter about the emails on Friday, according to the official, who was not authorized to discuss internal deliberations and spoke on

condition of anonymity.

The move creates the potential for a divide between the Justice Department and Comey, who has served in government under both Democratic and Republican presidents.

It was not immediately clear what the emails were about or what significance, if any, they carried to the email investigation. Nor was it clear when agents would complete the process of reviewing the recovered emails, and Comey made no guarantees that would happen before Election Day.

Democrats need just a few seats for veto-proof majority BALANCE

Several pricey campaigns demonstrate the lengths that Republicans and Democrats are going to strengthen their positions in the Illinois Legislature.

Figures compiled by the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform using public financial disclosures show the spending power in the races as of Friday. The amounts will increase as Election Day nears, but totals won’t be known until after Nov. 8. The figures reflect the money candidates have and the amount spent on their behalf by groups that don’t coordinate with candidates.

But decreasing Democrats’ numbers can increase Rauner’s bargaining power to get policy changes he wants, including weakening the influence of unions and passing business-friendly legislation as conditions for him to sign off on the state’s first full budget since spring 2014.

If Democrats increase their numbers, however, they could dictate the remainder of Rauner’s term by crafting the budget they want without the governor’s terms and easily overriding his vetoes.

That’s possible now only if all 71 House Democrats stick together – but that hasn’t been the case on key budget votes.

“If they are actually able to get a veto-proof majority, which means getting one or two more seats, they can do almost anything they want,” said Don Rose, a Chicago political consultant.

Democrats and the GOP have poured nearly $2 million into the race between Democratic Rep. Kate Cloonen and Republican attorney Lindsay Parkhurst in central Illinois. And in a southwest legislative district that borders Missouri, the parties invested $2.4 million in a contest between Democratic Rep. Daniel Beiser and his Republican challenger, Michael Babcock.

That’s only a glimpse of the millions of dollars that both parties are investing in about a dozen competitive races across the state.

But McAuliffe’s race is particularly important to both parties: Thanks in part to the governor’s personal wealth, Republicans have spent more than $2.6 million in television ads for McAuliffe – the most in any statehouse race in the U.S. this year, according to figures compiled by the Center for Public Integrity.

During his first closely

The contributions: Beiser has $2.2 million, largely from Democratic Party committees and watched campaign 20 years ago, McAuliffe said, he thought it novel that television ads ran on cable. Today, Rauner’s donations to legislative races has made this election cycle like no other in Illinois history.

The GOP is outspending Democrats for the first time in recent memory, forcing them to raise more money to keep up with the nearly $21 million Rauner has given to the Illinois Republican Party committee for races this year. Rauner has contributed another $12 million to Republican House leader Jim Durkin and $1 million to Comptroller Leslie Munger and they’ve funneled some of those funds into races as well.

Republicans spent nearly $32.7 million from July 1 through September with their party committees – a figure that dwarfs the $7.4 million that Democrats’ party committees have spent during the same time, according to figures compiled by the nonpartisan Illinois Campaign for Political Reform.

House District 79 Location: Encompassing central Illinois’ Kankakee.

Cost: $3.3 million.

The candidates: Incumbent Democratic Rep. Kate Cloonen, who won by only 122 votes in 2014, and Republican Lindsay Parkhurst, an attorney.

The contributors: Cloonen has nearly $1.6 million, mostly from unions and Democratic committees, though she has transferred some of her funds to Democrats in close races. Parkhurst has more than $1.7 million, largely from GOP committees.

“We gotta vote out people who aren’t doing their job,” said McAulliffe’s challenger, Democrat Merry Marwig, a political newcomer who’s on leave from a job at a Chicago software company. “People are fed up with the same people down there.

They want change.”

Marwig has received more than $800,000 from other Democrats, unions, and political committees that Madigan controls.

Campaigning in a moderate district, Marwig speaks in favor of term limits even though Madigan has shown little interest in the issue. McAuliffe, meanwhile, notes that he doesn’t agree with Rauner on everything and that he’s voted to override one of his vetoes.

Both candidates have a tough sell to make.

While talking to voters in the district, Marwig met 59-year-old Tom Motzny, who told her he wouldn’t be voting in Illinois anymore because he decided

Planet 9 from outer space

Families fight freezer deaths

Clues hint at an undiscovered world in our solar system Tribune News Service

The case for Planet Nine is growing. Two new findings presented at a planetary science meeting in Pasadena, California, have uncovered hints for the existence of this distant, mysterious world in the motions of known solar system objects.

The results could help astronomers hone in on their target, which – if it really is out there – could fundamentally alter our understanding of the solar system.

The hunt for Planet Nine began in earnest in 2014 after astronomers Scott Sheppard and Chadwick Trujillo found 2012 VP113, a planetoid nicknamed “Biden.” Its closest point to the sun in its orbit is 80 astronomical units – that is, 80 times the Earth-Sun distance of 93 million miles.

Objects like 2012 VP113 exist far beyond the typical denizens of the Kuiper belt, the icy ring of debris that stretches from Neptune’s orbit at 30 AU out to 50 AU (and whose largest member is distant Pluto, sitting around 49 AU).

The scientists also noticed that 2012 VP113 and another far-out mini-world named Sedna were making their closest approaches to the sun at similar angles – which could mean that something massive but unseen was tugging on both their orbits. Since the scientists could not directly see a planet in the darkness of our solar system, they would have to keep searching for its gravitational fingerprint on the motions of other bodies.

Then, early this year, California Institute of Technology scientists Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown found that the paths of half a dozen extremely distant objects seemed to be similarly tilted relative to the plane of the solar system, and that their perihelia – their closest points to the sun – seemed to cluster together. They estimated that a Planet Nine would weigh about 10 Earth masses and take somewhere from 10,000 to 20,000 years to orbit the sun.

Now, a team led by Renu Malhotra, a planetary scientist at the University of Arizona, has examined the orbits of four extreme Kuiper belt objects with the longest-known orbital periods and found an elegant relationship among their orbits: They can be described essentially in simple, whole-number ratios. This suggests that they’re pulled into these resonances by the gravity from an unseen massive object.

Malhotra’s team calculated that such a planetoid would be 10 times the mass of Earth and would orbit the sun roughly every 17,000 years – which fits with the Caltech scientists’ range estimate of 10,000 to 20,000 years.

They want regulations to help prevent fatalities in freezers, but meet with little success ATLANTA (AP) – Trapped in a walk-in hotel freezer with subzero temperatures, Carolyn Robinson Mangham knocked so desperately on the door that the skin on her knuckles had worn away, her husband said in a lawsuit.

When the door finally opened 13 hours later, the coroner said, the 61-yearold kitchen worker was lying on the metal floor, wearing her black shoes and pants, a white cook’s shirt and a black apron.

Her head and eyes were frozen solid.

Mangham, who died in March in Atlanta, was among a handful of workers who, in the last 15 years, were found dead in freezers, federal records show. Some were trapped by broken doors and either froze to death or were overcome by lethal fumes.

Experts say the deaths are preventable, but it’s not likely the federal government will draw up any specific regulations dealing with freezers. One reason: They’re more inclined to enforce broad rules for employers, such as making clear exits available.

“This should never happen. It’s tragic, and the families are left with devastation,” said Kim Bartels, whose brother Jay Luther died in a walk-in freezer in 2012.

Luther, a 47-year-old chef and co-owner of a cafe in Nashville, went into his restaurant’s freezer and the door shut behind him. For reasons not explained, there was no release mechanism to open the door, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration

Aaron Rabinowitz stands in front of the freezer where his father, Henry died in 2007, at the family’s Gelato Vero Caffe in San Diego.

concluded in its report.

Luther suffocated from breathing carbon dioxide vapors that came off dry ice inside the freezer, a medical examiner found.

“There’s no question that technologies exist – old and new – that could address this issue,” said David Ringholz, chairman of the industrial design department at Iowa State University.

Motion sensors, for instance, could disable doors anytime movement is detected inside a large walk-in freezer, he said.

Other experts suggested alarms, a cellphone or even an axe kept inside to help someone get out.

Some safety upgrades would cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, and that expense can be a big obstacle to improvements.

Adam Finkel, a former OSHA regional administrator for the Rocky Mountain states, recalled when a 55-yearold woman died inside a freezer at a lodge in Colorado in 2002.

alert others outside to free them, the autopsy report states.

OSHA found that the hotel exposed workers to hazards, and levied a fine of more than $12,000 in Mangham’s death. The hotel agreed to frequent and regular inspections of its freezers, including the door-release mechanisms, the agency said.

After Mangham’s death, her co-workers and their union, Unite Here, demanded that emergency buttons be placed inside the freezers so that if someone becomes trapped, that person can alert building security or the fire department. So far, the hotel hasn’t said whether they plan to have the buttons.

Such devices would be similar to those already in most elevators, said Lee Gray, an architectural historian at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte who wrote a book about the passenger elevator.

Westin Peachtree Plaza workers are also pushing for a better way of tracking employees, so that if

There had been problems with the freezer door at the Westin Peachtree Plaza hotel in Atlanta, according to the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages. Several months before her death, an exit mechanism failed inside the 12-by-10 freezer, and a hotel employee “had to beat on a back wall in order for someone to let her out,” the medical examiner’s report states.

When Mangham died, the medical examiner, OSHA and a representative of an equipment servicing company performed more than 30 tests on the door’s exit device, and it opened properly each time, hotel spokeswoman Sally McDonald said.

However, 3 weeks later, the exit button malfunctioned during a followup inspection, this time trapping two people, who had to beat on the door to

someone disappears as Mangham did, others will know to look for them.

The hotel has agreed to develop a procedure for workers to check in and out with others when they enter remote areas, OSHA said.

In the wake of Mangham’s death, the government could draft new rules and regulations or issue a bulletin or safety alert about the dangers of becoming trapped in freezers, which could raise awareness, said Celeste Monforton, a former OSHA official now with Texas State University.

But creating new, overly specific regulation is sometimes not helpful, said Wayne Li, director of the Innovation and Design Collaborative at the Georgia Institute of Technology. If regulations are too specific, they don’t account for new technological advances and can become outdated and stifle innovative approaches, Li said.

Aaron Rabinowitz found his father dead inside the freezer of his family’s San Diego cafe 9 years ago. He said he thinks that some type of alarm would be a good idea, though it may not have helped his father because he was quickly overcome by the dry ice fumes.

“I’m in there myself daily,” said Rabinowitz, who now runs the cafe.

“There are safety latches.

They can freeze up where you have to give it a really good kick. Somebody who is not strong enough might have trouble with it, so I think that [the alarms] would be a nice extra level of safety beyond a safety latch.”

MLB | WORLD SERIES | GAME 5 | CUBS 3, INDIANS 2 | INDIANS LEAD SERIES 3-2

Happy to wait a bit longer Cubs win at Wrigley to send Series back to Cleveland

BY RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

AP

Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo (left) catches a foul ball after it ricochets off Cubs catcher David Ross’ glove during the second inning of Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs staved off elimination with a 3-2 victory.

CHICAGO – They’ve waited 108 years for a championship.

So with this World Series on the verge of slipping away, the Chicago Cubs could not wait any longer.

Aroldis Chapman came on from the bullpen in the seventh inning for the first eight-out save of his big league career, needing to hold off the Cleveland Indians in Game 5.

As nervous fans fretted at Wrigley Field, Chapman fired his 100 mph heat and preserved the Cubs’ 3-2 win Sunday night, cutting Cleveland’s lead to 3-2.

The Cubs won a Series game at Wrigley for the first time since Game 6 in 1945.

“High anxiety,” first baseman Anthony Rizzo said. “A lot of deep breaths. Every pitch gets bigger and bigger as the game goes on. It’s unbelievable. Great win here, we sent these fans off with a win, now we have to go to Cleveland and win.”

Now, the team that led the majors in wins this year will try to extend its season again Tuesday night when Chicago righthander Jake Arrieta faces Josh Tomlin at Cleveland in Game 6.

Chicago is trying to become the first club to overcome a 3-1

Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals, and the first to do it by winning Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates.

Cleveland is in search of its first title since 1948 – and its third-ever title – and has won the championship at home just once, in 1920.

Chapman hadn’t pitched in the seventh inning since 2012.

He threw 42 pitches, 15 of them at least 100 mph.

The lefty struck out four and fanned Jose Ramirez, who had homered earlier, with 101 mph heat to end it.

Run to Peoria One more race Warriors, Dukes earn state berths Hamblen’s unbeaten streak ends

BELVIDERE – One had some front runners and the other had some pack runners, but the result was the same – trips to the state cross country meet.

Sterling and Dixon each achieved that goal by placing fourth and fifth, respectively, at the Class 2A Belvidere Sectional on Saturday morning. Next up is the state meet on Saturday at Detweiller Park in Peoria.

For Sterling, it’s been a long time coming.

The Golden Warriors last qualified for state as a team in 1983.

“I knew every point mattered today, because we wanted to be the first [Sterling] team to make it to state in 33 years,” junior Jake Gebhardt said. “That’s what I had in mind the whole way. I’d rather go to state with the team than by myself.”

Grayslake Central (102), Crystal Lake Central (111) and Sycamore (126) were the top three teams, followed by Sterling (131) and Dixon (137). Hampshire (142) finished sixth and was the first team on the outside looking in from a field that included nine teams ranked in the top 25 in the final Dyestat 2A poll.

OREGON – The plot thickens. Is Tanner Chada of Hinckley-Big Rock the new favorite for the Class 1A boys state individual cross country title, or did Rock Falls’ Brayden Hamblen just have an off day at the 1A Oregon Sectional?

One certainty is that Hamblen saw his season-long unbeaten streak come to an end Saturday at the hands of Chada, and quite decisively at that. The pair stayed within a stride of one another until the 2-mile mark of the Park West course.

Then the smoothlooking Chada made a move that left Hamblen struggling to keep up, crossing the finish line in 15:27 to 15:46 for Hamblen.

“The hardest part of the course is at 2 miles,” the 4-time Rocket state qualifier said. “It got to me mentally when he made that move. And obviously as the season went on, the pressure to stay unbeaten builds up.”

Hamblen did not want to make excuses, but wasn’t at full strength because of cold symptoms. Compared to the graceful gait of Chada, Hamblen didn’t look like the same runner that set at personal best last week at the BNC meet.

SVM staff, wire services COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Gophers turn Illini TOs into TDs Rodney Smith rushed for 100 yards and two touchdowns, and Minnesota turned a pair of early Illinois turnovers into scores on the way to a 40-17 win Saturday in Champaign.

Smith’s first touchdown was a 20-yard burst up the middle with 2:16 left in the first quarter, giving the Golden Gophers (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) the lead for good at 14-7. It followed a fumbled punt by Illinois’ Darius Mosely, recovered by Antione Winfield Jr. at the 20.

Thanks to the two early fumbles and a short punt, Minnesota started first-half drives at the Illinois 20, 9 and 49, and all ended with touchdowns.

Jeff George Jr., Illinois’ (2-6, 1-4) third-string quarterback and the son of Illini legend and longtime NFL quarterback Jeff George, started his second straight game and went 16-for-34 for 156 yards and a TD.

Badgers outlast Huskers in OT Dare Ogunbowale scored on an 11-yard run in overtime, and No. 11 Wisconsin held on for a 23-17 overtime win in Madison to hand No. 7 Nebraska its first loss of the season.

The Badgers (6-2, 3-2 Big Ten) stopped Nebraska on fourth-and-8 from the 23 after defensive back D’Cota Dixon swatted away a pass to the end zone from Tommy Armstrong Jr. intended for Stanley Morgan Jr. It’s Wisconsin’s third win over a top-1o team.

Nebraska (7-1, 4-1) overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Drew Brown’s 35-yard field goal with 3:43 left tied it at 17.

Buckeyes hold off pesky Wildcats Curtis Samuel had a 3-yard touchdown run with 9:43 left to give No. 6 Ohio State the lead, and J.T. Barrett converted two key third downs on a gamesealing drive in a 24-20 win in Columbus.

After being upset by Penn State last week, the Buckeyes struggled against another multi-touchdown underdog. The Buckeyes (7-1, 4-1 Big Ten) punted on five straight drives in one stretch, but responded to Northwestern tying it at 17 with a touchdown drive, capped by Samuel.

Northwestern (4-4, 3-2) then got to the Ohio State 3, but settled for Jack Mitchell’s 33-yard field goal to close to 24-20 with 3:31 left.

Irish blow big lead, still beat Miami Justin Yoon kicked a 23-field goal with 30 seconds left to give Notre Dame a 30-27 victory over Miami on Saturday, as the Fighting Irish survived squandering a 20-point lead to end a three-game home losing streak.

The Irish (3-5), who have lost all five games by single digits, were on the brink of losing again when Miami’s Michael Jackson recovered a botched punt in the end zone for the go-ahead touchdown with 6:49 left.

But the Irish tied it up less than a minute later when, on third-and-1, Josh Adams bounced out of the pile and raced in for a 41-yard touchdown.

DeShone Kizer completed 25 of 38 passes for 263 yards and one touchdown for Notre Dame. He also recovered an Irish fumble at the 1-yard line late in the fourth quarter to allow Yoon to get the gamewinning kick.

NFL | VIKINGS AT BEARS

Cutler ready for comeback Bears starting QB returns to face Bradford, Vikings

BY ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer

LAKE FOREST – Sam Bradford was rolling along with the Minnesota Vikings right until he got squashed by his former team last week.

Then again, at least he was playing. It’s been a while since Chicago’s Jay Cutler could say that.

Bradford tries to shake off a sixsack outing in the Vikings’ first loss when Minnesota meets the returning Cutler and the struggling Bears tonight at Soldier Field.

Things couldn’t have gone much worse for Bradford and the Vikings (5-1) in a 21-10 defeat to Philadelphia that seemed to expose their shortcomings and lay out a blueprint for the rest of the league.

“I think we just realized that we’ve got a lot of work to do, but when you look at the film and you look at the things, the mistakes that we made on Sunday, they’re all fixable,” Bradford said. “A lot of them were just mental mistakes.

They’re things that we have done correctly the previous 5 weeks and just failed to execute or failed to do them correctly on Sunday.

So, we’ve just got to get back on track and go out there and be the offense we know we can be.”

The Eagles disguised their blitzes and had their way with a patchwork offensive line. It all added up to a rough outing for Bradford.

Besides the six sacks, he absorbed 12 hits, and fumbled four times and lost two of them.

He also threw an interception.

The Bears (1-6), meanwhile, have struggled through injuries and poor play on offense and defense in their worst start since the 2000 team dropped seven of its first eight. For Cutler, it hasn’t been easy to watch.

“It’s hard when you’re hurt and not playing, getting back in the mix,” he said. “You’ve just got to keep fighting through it.

“Nothing lasts forever. And I think everyone in the locker room knows that. There’s some talent in the locker room. There’s a lot of guys banged up that hopefully we get back soon. You just got to keep playing football.

That’s all we can do.”

They are getting Cutler back from a five-game absence because of a sprained right thumb. But whether they’re welcoming him back with open

The Bears welcome back QB Jay Cutler this week as the divisionleading Vikings come to Soldier Field for Monday Night Football.

When: 7:30 p.m. today Where: Soldier Field, Chicago TV/Radio: ESPN/890 AM Line: Vikings by 4 arms is open to debate.

The Bears have little choice but to go with him, because Brian Hoyer broke his left arm in a 26-10 loss at Green Bay in the previous game.

“I do think that Cutler will give them a lift coming back,” Vikings coach Mike Zimmer said. “He’s a big-time arm talent. I think that we’re going to have to play very well in order to win.”

There had been plenty of speculation about Cutler’s future in Chicago, particularly with Hoyer playing five-plus games without an interception. Fox only fueled it when he said the starting spot is “performance-based.”

But it’s a moot point now.

Cutler will suit up for the first time since he left against Philadelphia in the second game of the season. The five-game absence will be the longest he has returned from in a season, and he’ll be going against the league’s stingiest defense.

“They’re top-5 in about everything, they’ve been together for a while, they’re relatively healthy,

and they’re playing good football,” Cutler said.

“They’ve shown a lot of different looks, especially on third downs, but we’ve ... seen a lot of it. We kind of know how to attack it, but it’s just going to be about execution and guys doing exactly what we need to do.”

As for the Vikings, they had been playing well enough to mask their weaknesses and pile up wins despite serious injuries to Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson.

A big reason was their new quarterback, who was thriving after a trade from Philadelphia on Sept. 3. The Vikings were scrambling for one and made the move for Bradford just days after Bridgewater suffered his serious knee injury.

Despite a crash course in learning the Vikings’ system, Bradford came into the game against the Eagles with the NFL’s top completion percentage and No. 2 passer rating. But against Philadelphia, things didn’t go so well.

“I think each defense is different, but obviously, I’m sure Chicago is looking at what they did and what they had success with,” Bradford said. “And I’m sure we’ll see some carryover, so we’ve got to be prepared to see some of that.”

NFL | FALCONS 33, PACKERS 32

Late score doesn’t lift Packers Falcons answer Green Bay with TD in final minute for win

BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP Sports Writer

ATLANTA – Matt Ryan threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Mohamed Sanu with 31 seconds remaining, rallying the Atlanta Falcons to a 33-32 victory over Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at the Georgia Dome.

The Falcons (5-3) snapped a two-game losing streak, driving 75 yards for the winning score after Rodgers put the Packers (4-3) ahead with his fourth TD pass of the game.

With Julio Jones shut down in the second half, Ryan turned to Sanu to bail out Atlanta. He caught five passes for 50 yards on the final possession, the last of them a touchdown pass in the back of the end zone after he lined up in the slot and got matched against linebacker Jake Ryan.

The Green Bay player didn’t have a chance.

Sanu raced past him and hauled in the pass right in front of the goalposts, the ball easily clearing Ryan’s outstretched hands.

Sanu finished with

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers (12) is sacked by Falcons defensive end Adrian Clayborn (99) on Sunday in Atlanta. The Packers lost 33-32. nine catches for 84 yards, both season highs in his first season with the Falcons. Atlanta needed every one of them, since Jones was held to three catches for 29 yards and targeted only once in the second half – a dropped pass on

the final possession.

Ryan was 28-for-35 for 288 yards and three touchdowns.

Rodgers threw for 246 yards, teaming up with a bunch of unknown receivers as the bangedup Packers played without six starters. Line-

backer Clay Matthews and receiver Randall Cobb were among those who couldn’t go because of hamstring injuries.

Three Green Bay receivers – Geronimo Allison, Trevor Davis and Jeff Janis – hauled in their first career touchdowns. Allison, in fact, had just been promoted from the practice squad and had never caught a pass in an NFL game.

Ditto for Davis, a rookie who had mainly been used as a returner.

The Packers took a 32-26 lead after the Falcons were caught with too many men on the field, giving Green Bay a first down rather than having to go for it on fourth-and-1. Rodgers went to Janis for a 7-yard touchdown with 3:58 remaining, followed by a 2-point conversion.

It wasn’t enough. Sanu’s touchdown tied the game, and Matt Bryant booted through the winning extra point. Bryant had already become the Falcons’ career leading scorer with a PAT after Atlanta’s first TD, passing Morten Andersen.

GIRLS | 1A OREGON SECTIONAL

Season runs course Duchesses, Warriors shut out at sectional

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

BELVIDERE – Dixon’s girls cross country team needed to be on its A game to have a chance at the Class 2A Belvidere Sectional on Saturday morning.

The Duchesses weren’t, and now their season is over.

Dixon finished with 252 points to place 10th in an 18-team field, but only the top five squads move on to the state meet on Saturday in Peoria.

Punching their tickets to state were Belvidere North (56), Vernon Hills (89), Crystal Lake Central (93), Kaneland (193) and Grayslake Central (212).

Kira Goral was the first Duchess across the finish line with a time of 19 minutes, 8 seconds, good for 31st place among 140 runners.

“I’m happy that I got first for the team, but I think as a team, we could have ran a lot better,” Goral said. “I’m kind of disappointed with my time and my placing. If I could have gotten up there a little more, I could have went individually.”

The last individual qualifying spot went to Hampshire’s Sophia Oury, who was 14th with a time of 18:18.

Hallie Nelson (19:32, 44th), Nicquelette Fazekas (19:40, 48th), Taylor Renkes (20:08, 69th) and Mekenzie Harden (20:20, 76th) had the other counting times for Dixon.

Goral and Nelson will be juniors next season, while Fazekas and Renkes will be sophomores. Goral is hopeful she and her teammates will fare better in the 2017 postseason.

Sterling finished 15th as a team with 373 points.

“I felt pretty good today,” Barnhart said, “and I’m glad to end my season like this.”

Maggie McPherson (20:18, 73rd), Madisyn Nicklaus (20:25, 78th), Megan Barnhart (20:31, 83rd) and Erin Long (21:54, 121st) rounded out Sterling’s top five.

Amboy qualifies as a team for first time ever

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

OREGON – School history was made by the Amboy-LaMoille girls cross country squad at the 1A Oregon Sectional meet Saturday at Park West. With a fourthplace finish, they became the first team ever – boys or girls – to qualify for the IHSA state meet.

Amboy had 145 points, ahead of the 163 by sixth-place Seneca, with the top five teams qualifying. Richmond-Burton won with a score of 72.

“We beat a lot of teams that have been beating us all year,” Amboy coach Bob Halberg. “This is as close to a home meet as we can get. We run more here than anywhere. It was a definite advantage.”

The Clippers had their best pack running of the year, with their top six placers (Erin Hosto, Megan Grady, Margaret Vaessen, Kaitlyn Ortgiessen, Cassidy Corcoran, and Kelynn Boyle) within 22 places.

“Our No. 3 runner [Vaessen] came up on me and it woke me up,” Grady said. “I was nervous and my mind had gotten the better of me.

She spurred me on.”

If it wasn’t for the team, Grady would have been sitting out the state meet after qualifying for it as an individual the last 3 years. Audrey Harrod of Hinckley-Big Rock took

the final individual spot with an 11-place finish.

Hosto was 22nd and Grady was 23rd, and both were grateful for their supporting cast.

“Our teammates have helped us so much. I can’t say enough about them,” Grady said.

Bureau Valley’s Haley Weidner finished fifth with a time of 19:39 and easily advanced to Peoria for the second time in 3 years. Nygia Pollard of Elgin Christian Harvest won with a time of 19:16.

“We think Haley can be in the top 15 in the state,” BV coach Dale Donner said. “It was hard to judge on today’s results. This is a brutal course, and it was hot and humid.”

Weidner missed qualifying last year after hurting her foot at the school’s homecoming dance.

“After last year, it’s great knowing I’m going back down,” said Weidner.

Rock Falls freshman Bailee Fortney ran a 19:53 to also qualify as an individual. It was quite a

feat in just her first year of cross country.

“I’m very surprised. I didn’t think this would happen,” said the daughter of former Sterling running standout Pat Fortney. “In practice, I try to stay with the guys.”

The hard-luck runner of the meet was Newman senior Teagan McKenna.

After advancing downstate the last 2 years, McKenna took 12th with a time of 20:14. That was seven seconds off the 20:07 by Harrod of HBR. “You realize it’s your last year and might be your last race,” said McKenna, who initially thought she was safe with the 12th place. “I felt more pressure. Not until the last half-mile did I feel OK. I thought being in top 15 would be OK.” “Any other year, 12th place usually makes state,” Newman coach Pat Warkins said.

McKenna had identical 13th places in 2014 and 2015 and managed to advance.

t Gebhardt finished just ahead of Crystal Lake Central’s Cole Barkocy (15:13.5). The top four finishers were Grayslake Central teammates Jack Aho (14:36) and Matt Aho (14:54), Kaneland’s Matthew Richtman (15:04) and Sycamore’s Stephen Poorten (15:08).

“My goal going into it was to stay with Matt Aho, but that didn’t work out because he’s extremely good,” Gebhardt said.

“That’s just how it went.

And then I wanted to stay with the Kaneland and Sycamore guys, but they were ahead of me. I’m just glad I got fifth – I was fine with that.”

Landis was also pleased with his race, as he turned in a time of 15:16 and was eighth.

“I just went out and ran, tried to stay with the pack, and tried to make a few

moves here and there,” Landis said. “I did pretty OK.” Mikio Martinez (16:16, 27th), Bryce Tessmann (16:30, 40th) and Isaiah Moorman (16:43, 57th) had the other counting times for Sterling.

Dixon didn’t have any individuals on the heels of Sterling’s top duo, but came in close enough together to nab the fifth and final team spot.

Blain Masterson led the Dukes with a time of 16:13, good for 24th place.

He was followed closely

by Jonah Fulton (16:14, 25th), Collin Grady (16:19, 28th), Andrew Lohse (16:22, 30th) and Christian Seagren (16:26, 35th).

“The team really stepped up today,” Masterson said. “Our 3, 4 and 5 runners were outstanding.

That helped a lot.”

“Last year, we had a goal to make it to state and we didn’t reach that goal, so we really wanted to do it this year,” Fulton added.

“We stepped it up. We did really well today.”

The state berth was the perfect birthday present for Dixon coach Evan Thorpe, who turned 44 on Saturday. His team was dogged by various injuries and inconsistent running over the course of the season, but put it together when it mattered most.

“We’ve got a group of kids that really care about one another and really like cross country,” Thorpe said, “but the fact of the matter is we don’t know when they’re going to race well. We’ve struggled throughout the season with injuries.

“Collin Grady runs lights out at conference, he’s been dealing with an injury for over 6 weeks, and then at regional, he’s not very good at all. Blain [Masterson] was good at conference, then not good at all at regionals. All of a sudden today, everybody ran really well.”

t On the other hand, Chada looked fully recovered from a knee injury that sidelined him after taking third in the state as a sophomore 2 years ago.

“On the last mile, all I thought about was sitting on couch with a pin in my knee,” he said, in reference to knee surgery. “Then, at the state meet last year, I fractured my shin. This year is centered on getting back to where I can be, and today I finally felt 100 percent.”

With 3-time state champ Jon Davis graduated and no other viable candidate leaping to the forefront of 1A cross country, the state meet is shaping up to be a duel between Chada and Hamblen.

“I’m excited for next week. I love to race against Brayden,” Chada said. “I think it will come down to who has more guts.”

Newman’s Chris Ahlers, who took third with a time of 16:01, was impressed with Chada.

“For me, he has always been the [state] favorite,” Ahlers said. “I know the kind of training he does.

He was ready to make us hurt today.”

Ahlers led the Comets

Earleen Hinton/Shaw Media

Newman’s Chris Ahlers (277) leads a pack of runners alongside Hinckley-Big Rock’s Turner Chada (145) on Saturday at the Class 1A Oregon Sectional. Chada won the race, and Ahlers was third. to their fifth straight trip downstate. Other scorers were Spencer Mauch, who was the 10th-place medalist with a time of 16:33, along with Shay Hafner, Matt Hodge and Brady Osborne.

“Matt Hodge stepped up for us, and Shay Hafner was third for us with shin splints,” Newman coach Pat Warkins said.

Besides Hamblen seeing his unbeaten streak come to an end, Rock Falls had the misfortune of freshman Dawson Smith miss qualifying by one place, the team miss going downstate by one place, and an ambulance

being called for Jonathan Ross, who collapsed on the course.

“It was precautionary for him,” Truesdell said.

Ross was one of several boy and girl runners who didn’t make it to the finish line and needed medical attention.

Last year, Hamblen won the sectional for the second straight year and the Rockets advanced downstate as a team by one point over Winnebago.

“As my dad said, sometimes you’re the windshield and sometimes you’re the bug,” Truesdell said. “This year, we’re the bug.”

NASCAR SPRINT CUP

Record a real possibility Johnson secures shot at seventh Sprint Cup title

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

MARTINSVILLE, Va. – A slot in NASCAR’s record books is absolutely within reach for Jimmie Johnson.

Johnson earned one of four spots in next month’s title-deciding season finale Sunday with his ninth career victory at Martinsville Speedway. The six-time NASCAR champion will race for his seventh championship, which would tie him for the record with Hall of Famers Richard Petty and the late Dale Earnhardt.

“I’ve been trying to ignore this conversation about seven, and now I can’t,” said Johnson, who doesn’t particularly want to start thinking about the stakes just yet.

“I’ll probably lie to all of you guys and say I’m not going to think about it at all. But it’s inevitable. Fortunately, I don’t have to think about it for 3 weeks.

But we’re going to enjoy this and savor it. We’re going to get our ducks in a row for Homestead.”

The victory blocked Joe Gibbs Racing from placing all four of Toyota drivers in the final round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup title. There are only three spots still open in the Nov. 20 finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, and JGR’s hope of sweeping the final four ended Sunday.

Monday, October 31, 2016

AP

Jimmie Johnson celebrates after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race Sunday at Martinsville Speedway in Martinsville, Va. Most likely to miss the final? Carl Edwards, who had a tire problem and finished 36th at Martinsville, lowest of the eight Chase drivers. Also in trouble: Stewart-Haas Racing teammates Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch, who finished 20th and 22nd.

Brad Keselowski, eliminated from the Chase last week, finished second and was irritated by a lengthy caution earlier in the race when NASCAR struggled to figure out the running order. Had those laps not been wasted under yellow, Keselowski absolutely believed he could have beat Johnson.

“We don’t need to run 100 laps under yellow with the field, not trying to figure out where they’re at, and it prob-

ably cost us the race,” Keselowski said.

The caution took 29 laps, and left some grumbling the order still wasn’t correct when the race restarted.

“I think the stakes are so high, I really wish we would have red flagged the race, gone, reviewed it and gotten it right,” said third-place finisher Denny Hamlin. “There’s a 100 percent chance it was not right at the end. It changed the running order.

“Hopefully, that doesn’t change what happens going into Homestead.

I know that NASCAR is doing everything they can with the scoring they have and things like that.

But you have to get it right. It definitely was not right.”

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford makes a save during the first period of Sunday’s game against the Kings at the United Center in Chicago. Crawford made 32 saves in his first shutout of the season, and the Blackhawks won 3-0.

Hawks pitch shutout Crawford stellar; Toews scores first goal

BY MATT CARLSON Associated Press

CHICAGO – Corey Crawford made 32 saves, Jonathan Toews and Marian Hossa each had a power-play goal, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the Los Angeles Kings 3-0 on Sunday night at the United Center.

Artem Anisimov also scored to extend his career-best point streak to seven games. He has six goals and five assists during the run.

Toews got his first goal of the season, as the Chicago captain had just three assists in the Blackhawks’ first eight games. Hossa scored into an empty net with 1:10 remaining.

Hossa was honored in a pregame ceremony for becoming the 44th player with 500 goals, a milestone he reached on Oct. 18.

The Blackhawks killed both of Los Angeles’ power plays, and for the

Star of the game: Corey Crawford, Blackhawks, 32 saves in 1st shutout of year Up next: Flames at Blackhawks, 7:30 p.m.

Tuesday (CSN/720 AM) first time in nine games didn’t allow a power-play goal.

Crawford earned his 20th shutout, and the Kings were blanked for the second straight game. Los Angeles concluded a twogame Midwest swing after losing 1-0 in regulation at St. Louis on Saturday.

Los Angeles’ Peter Budaj made 26 saves.

Crawford wasn’t heavily tested in this one, but stopped Kyle Clifford point-blank with 2:35 left following a turnover.

Tyler Toffoli had two good chances in the third.

Kings coach Darryl Sutter remained stuck on 599 wins. Sutter launched his coaching career with the Blackhawks following

eight seasons with them as a forward, and ranks 14th in NHL coaching victories and fifth among active coaches.

Sutter has more than 100 wins with each of the four teams he’s coached – Los Angeles, Chicago, San Jose and Calgary.

The Blackhawks had four power-play chances in the first period, and Toews connected on the first one at 6:54 to give Chicago a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes. Toews’ wrist shot from the top of the right circle beat Budaj on the glove side while Kings defensemen Jake Muzzin and Tom Gilbert screened Budaj.

Anisimov made it 2-0 from the left edge of the crease with 6:30 left in the second, set up after Hossa threaded a pass across the crease. Anisimov didn’t quite handle the feed cleanly, but controlled the puck with a quick move and chipped it over Budaj.

Chapman makes lead stand up WAIT

CONTINUED FROM B1

t With the crowd at the Friendly Confines desperate for a win, Kris Bryant homered to start a three-run burst in the fourth off Trevor Bauer.

That gave Jon Lester a 3-1 lead. The Indians nicked him for a run in the sixth, and Carl Edwards Jr. took over to begin the seventh with a 3-2 edge.

Chapman came in with a runner on second and one out. He stranded the potential tying run at second base in the seventh and at third base in the eighth, then pitched a 1-2-3 ninth.

Lester, the Game 1 loser, improved to 4-1 in Series play by allowing two runs and six hits.

Ramirez homered in the second to put the Indians ahead. Cleveland closed within a run in the sixth when Rajai Davis singled, stole second, and scored on a two-out single by Francisco Lindor.

Mike Napoli singled against Edwards leading off the seventh and took second on a passed ball by rookie catcher Willson Contreras, who had just replaced David Ross.

Carlos Santana flied out, and Chapman came in to strike out Ramirez with a 100 mph pitch.

He hit Brandon Guyer on the left leg, then retired Roberto Perez on a groundout as fans screamed in relief.

Then in the eighth, Davis singled with one out on a hard grounder down the line that Rizzo stopped with a dive – but Chapman took a few seconds before heading to cover first, leaving Rizzo with no one

The Cubs’ Addison Russell reaches out and connects for an RBI infield single during the fourth inning of Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday against the Indians at Wrigley Field in Chicago. The Cubs won 3-2 to cut Cleveland’s series lead to 3-2. to throw to. Davis stole second, and after Jason Kipnis fouled out, swiped third standing up.

Lindor, Cleveland’s hottest hitter, took a 101 mph pitch at the knees for a called third strike, then stood in the batter’s box for nearly 20 seconds in anger and frustration.

Bauer, his pinkie seemingly healed from a cut sustained while playing with a toy drone during the ALCS, dropped to 0-2 in the Series, giving up three runs and six hits in four innings.

After a pair of relatively balmy autumn nights on the North Side, the temperature dropped to 50 degrees at game time and a 10 mph wind added chill.

Bryant, in a 1-for-15 slide, led off the fourth with a game-tying drive into the left-field bleachers, where a fan in the first row dropped it.

Rizzo sent the next pitch off the ivy on the right-

field wall for a double, admiring its flight before hustling, then took third on Ben Zobrist’s single and came home with the go-ahead run when Addison Russell reached out and topped a pitch down the third-base line for an infield single.

Jason Heyward took a called third strike, slumping Javier Baez dropped a bunt down the third-base line for a single that loaded the bases, and Ross, a 39-year-old making perhaps his final big league start, hit a sacrifice fly for a 3-1 lead.

Web gems: Ross allowed Santana’s second-inning foul pop to glance off his glove, but Rizzo batted the ball in the air with his bare hand, then gloved it.

Then in the third inning, Cubs right fielder Heyward climbed the brick wall in the right-field corner, then reached back to catch Bauer’s windblown foul fly.

THE CLASSIFIED Advertising Department of Sauk Valley Media does not have the opportunity to fully investigate the credibility of each advertiser appearing within these columns. If an offer sounds “too good to be true” it probably is.

Proceed with caution if you are asked to send money or to give a credit card number.

Proceed with caution in calling 900 phone numbers. All phone numbers prefixed by “900” are charged to the CALLER. Charges may be assessed on a “per minute” basis rather than a “per call” basis.

Sauk Valley Classified makes every effort to qualify these charges for the reader.

If you have a concern about an advertiser, please contact the Better Business Bureau 330 N. Wabash, Chicago, IL 60611.

Sudoku!

Answer on B12

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Let your extensive inside knowledge work in your favor. Don’t be afraid to do things differently. Keep your competition guessing in order to succeed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Focus inward and refuse to let others’ words and actions affect your productivity or confidence. A financial opportunity will come from an unexpected source. Romance is in the stars.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Go over contracts or financial, legal and medical concerns,

and make sure everything is in order. Problems while traveling or dealing with authority figures will cause delays.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Keep your financial and personal affairs a secret. Bring about changes that will make you feel and look your best.

A romantic adventure will do you good.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Get your priorities straight and set your plans in motion.

Discuss your options with a personal or business partner, and turn your dream into a reality. Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Question anything that seems suspicious. Someone will try to trick you into doing something you shouldn’t and don’t want to do. Don’t cave under pressure. Focus on selfimprovement.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You must embrace change

and novelty. You’ll gain access to information that will alter the course of your life if you network or participate in something that sparks your imagination.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will impress some people and make others jealous if you take action and honor your promises. Don’t just participate when you can call the shots. Change will keep you up-to-date.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Put muscle behind your work and speak up about your thoughts and feelings. Your insight and dedication will attract interest and the help you need to get things done.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You need to keep things in perspective. If you overreact, you will draw attention to something you’d rather not address just yet. Put more energy into personal improvements, instead of trying to change others. ©2016 UFS
