ROCK FALLS | ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Power plant ‘still on hold’ Company website offers no leads while under construction

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 529

ROCK FALLS – Nearly 4 years after BioPro Power announced its intention to build a power plant in Rock Falls, the company is still looking for a customer.

Sandy Henrekin, the executive director of the Rock Falls Development

Corporation, which has worked with BioPro, said nothing has changed with the project.

“There hasn’t been any change,” she said. “The project is still on hold – still waiting to see if they can purchase a power purchase agreement.”

Henrekin has been the point person for the city in dealing with BioPro, City Administrator Robbin Blackert said.

In 2011, W.F. “Duke” Fuehrer, the company’s president, said BioPro

planned to hire 30 fulltime employees, a dozen or so part-timers, and 80 seasonal employees, but didn’t want to speculate about when the project would start.

A request for comment from Fuehrer wasn’t immediately returned.

Joe McConville, who works in real estate in the Mendota area, had agreed to help BioPro expand into Mendota after it set up in Rock Falls. He said he hasn’t heard from Fuehrer in a while and thinks there

were delays in working with the Illinois Department of Commerce.

“I really have heard nothing,” McConville said when asked about BioPro’s status. “So I would guess it’s dead.”

On Wednesday, the BioPro website, www.BioProPower.com, had a message that said, “There are exciting developments going SVM file photo on at BioPro Power and we are updating our website to W.F. “Duke” Fuehrer, BioPro president, talks about the company’s proposed plant in Rock Falls during a reflect those changes.”

MORRISON – Authorities often issue news releases when they charge a group of people with drug crimes.

That wasn’t the case earlier in the summer.

Fourteen were charged with drug crimes as a result of an investigation by the Blackhawk Area Task Force, a group of area police agencies that cooperate in drug inquiries.

Three of the suspects have pleaded guilty so far. Two of them received short jail sentences, while another was sent to prison. Ten others have trials set for November, while one will get his day in court in December.

The Illinois attorney general’s office is handling the cases.

No announcements were made about their arrests.

No further information about the company or its projects was available on the website, which prompted any further inquires to its “contact us� page. However, clicking on the link brought

BioPro had an option to buy private property, but Henrekin said she was unsure of the status, adding that the backup plan was to lease a parcel owned by the city.

A BioPro plant would take in cornstalk and other plant leftovers to convert into fuel, which

could potentially be cleaner and more efficient for power generation than fossil fuels.

The construction project was estimated to cost $100 million, and the plant could potentially power 19,000 to 20,000 homes, the company told Sauk Valley Media in 2011.

Illinois wildlife areas close CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s partial shutdown has placed more than 128,000 acres of wildlife refuges and other lands off limits in Illinois, including a prized swath of hiking and hunting territory on the edge of the Ozark foothills that contributes millions of dollars to the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced

Saturday nationwide closures, including eight wildlife refuges around Illinois. All recreational activities at those locations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including hunting, fishing, environmental education, and public events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been canceled. The agency also shut several offices and facilities around the state.

Those closures are in addition to the recent shutdown of more than

56,000 acres of recreational land managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Illinois, including Carlyle Lake, the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest manmade lake.

The closed Illinois refuges include Chautauqua, Emiquon, and Meredosia in the central part of the state. In the south are Two Rivers, Middle Mississippi, Crab Orchard, and Cypress Creek.

On June 6, Sauk Valley Media found out about them when a woman called to express concern that the county jail wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t adequately addressing her jailed brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health problems. She also complained the task force was keeping quiet about the arrests.

That same day, the jail confirmed that her brother was in the lockup. The circuit clerkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office said court records for the man and other defendants in the investigation were suppressed because authorities didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to tip off other possible suspects.

Later that day, though, the state police, which participates in the task force, allowed the court documents to go public.

The online records show that the suspectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; charges dated from 2011 and 2012. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear why they were taken into custody in summer 2013.

A task force official didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t return a call for comment.

According to online court records, these are the statuses for the suspects: Lisa Echartea, Due to health reasons, I am no longer 39, pleaded guilty to able to act in â&#x20AC;&#x153;of Counselâ&#x20AC;? capacity at delivery of 500 to 2,000 Ward & Ward.

ILLINOIS | HEALTH OVERHAUL RATES

Go west for best deal on insurance market Regional price differences could result in significant savings, losses CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; People looking for the best deals in the new Illinois health insurance marketplace should consider moving to cities along the northwest state border, if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live there already.

Illinois counties in the Quad Cities area have the lowest prices for mid-level plans expected to be the most popular under President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new health initiative. In general, the highest prices are in the northern Illinois counties of Lake, McHenry, Kane, and DuPage.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s according to price information released by the federal government and analyzed by The Associated Press.

Over the course of a year, the regional differences in price could add up to the cost of a microwave oven or a plane ticket.

For example, the lowest-cost silver plan for a 50-year-old in Mercer County is $268 per month.

For a 50-year-old in Kane County the lowest-cost silver plan is $293 per month. Over one year of payments, that difference in monthly premiums adds up to the Kane County 50-year-old paying $300 more than the Mercer County 50-year-old.

All the policies in the new marketplace cover a broad

range of medical services, prescription drugs, emergency care, hospitalization, mental health care, and lab services. Comparing the prices of these comprehensive plans to what was previously available is difficult, like comparing apples and oranges.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clear is that Illinois residents will have a broad array of prices and plans to choose from.

Federal tax subsidies will bring down the cost for many people. The prices in this article reflect costs before tax subsidies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are really good options for folks throughout the state,â&#x20AC;? said Illinois Department of Insurance Director Andrew Boron. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re seeing some really robust choices.â&#x20AC;?

An initial look at the prices shows Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, the Illinois leader by number of customers on the individual market, offering the lowest monthly rates for bronze and silver plans in many parts of the state. All insurers in the market are offering plans with a range of pricing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to offer plans that meet consumer need and expand access to cost-effective health care,â&#x20AC;? said Kurt Kossen, vice president of retail markets for Health Care

In this photo taken, Oct. 1, in Chicago, Deborah Mitchell, 57, attempts to log in to an insurance marketplace site, searching for a better rate on health insurance on the launch day of the Affordable Care Act. Service Corporation, the operator of Blue Cross plans in Illinois and four other states.

The insurer kept down prices for some of its policies by contracting with narrower networks of hospitals and doctors than is currently the standard, Kossen said. Consumers should make sure their preferred doctors and hospitals are covered as they shop for insurance, he said.

So far, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been nearly impossible to compare prices on the federal HealthCare.gov website.

For days, glitches and delays prevented many people in Illinois and more than 30 other states from shopping for the coverage thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required by the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law.

The health plans on the marketplace are categorized by four tiers: bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Bronze plans have the lowest premiums and the highest out-of-pocket costs. Platinum plans have the highest premiums and the lowest outof-pocket costs.

Premiums are the monthly fees policyholders pay

to the insurance company to keep their coverage. If a consumer stops paying the premium, the coverage stops too. Out-of-pocket costs include copays and deductibles â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all the various payments policyholders must contribute when they see a doctor or go to the hospital.

The price information released by the federal government is for specific ages and family situations: a 27-year-old adult, a 50-year-old adult, a family of two adults and two children and several other scenarios.

A few examples from the data: A Kankakee family of four in which the parents are both 30 years old has 19 choices of silver plans ranging from a Blue Cross plan priced at $586 per month to an Aetna plan priced at $1,128 per month.

Tax subsidies could bring down those costs depending on family income.

A 27-year-old in Champaign can choose from 14 silver plans ranging from a $218 per month Blue Cross plan to a $312 per month Land of Lincoln Health plan.

A 50-year-old in Edwardsville has a choice of 11 silver plans ranging from a $316 per month Coventry Health Care plan to a $467 per month Land of Lincoln Health plan.

Regional variation in insurance prices is nothing new. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caused in part by regional differences in health care spending, which in turn is driven by the supply of hospital beds and medical specialists, and by patient health.

Costs also vary because of the prices that hospitals and other providers can negotiate with insurance companies, Boron said.

WASHINGTON

Failed adoptions stir outrage Lawmakers, reform advocates find constitutional changes are elusive

BY DAVID CRARY !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Half a world away from her birthplace in Ethiopia, teenager Hana Williams died on a rainy night in the backyard of what a prosecutor called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;house of horrorsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the rural home of her adoptive family in Washington state.

The official causes of her death, after being forced outside as punishment, were malnutrition and hypothermia.

Authorities said Hana, during 3 years of adoption, had been beaten repeatedly with switches, starved and made to sleep in a locked closet.

The parents, Larry and Carri Williams, have been convicted of manslaughter and face sentencing Oct. 29.

Yet more than 2 years after Hanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death in May 2011, few meaningful steps have been taken by state policymakers to reduce the chances of other adopted children suffering such abuse. A task force offered detailed recommendations, and one limited bill was introduced in Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legislature but died in committee this year after raising some concerns that it might infringe on parental rights. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really are struggling to find something that will be both effective and constitutional,â&#x20AC;? said the billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sponsor, Rep. Mary Helen Roberts, who plans to continue her efforts.

While most adoptions are successful, the Williams case is among several recent grim adoption developments around the U.S., prompting urgent calls for better safeguards and more post-adoption support. Yet many of those making the appeals admit to frustration, having sounded alarm bells before, and they hold out little hope for prompt, sweeping responses that would strengthen international and domestic adoptions nationwide.

A key reason is the nature of adoption in America â&#x20AC;&#x201C; marked by inconsistent laws, incomplete data and the lack of any central authority.

There are no authoritative statistics on the number of adoptions that fail, no reliable source of federal funding for post-adoption services. And there is a multitude of passionate organizations with often diverging views on how to maximize success stories and minimize tragedies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many different perspectives â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the rights of the child,

In this Sept. 9 file photo, Carri Williams (center) is taken into custody after she was found guilty of homicide by abuse and manslaughter in the death of her adopted daughter, Hana, in Mount Vernon, Wash. Hana, originally from Ethiopia, died in the backyard of the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home in May 2011. Prosecutors said she was starved, beaten and forced outside as punishment. Her husband, Larry Williams, was found guilty of first-degree manslaughter. the rights of the family, the rights of the states,â&#x20AC;? said Sharon Osborne, president of the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Home Society of Washington, who would like to see some form of post-adoption assessments in her state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are advocating for is the best possible situation for a child and his or her newly formed family,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get through the political challenges to make it a reality.â&#x20AC;?

Hana Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; death, while notable in its sad details, was far from an isolated tragedy. A report compiled after her death documented 14 other cases of severe abuse or neglect of adopted children in Washington from 2009 to 2011.

Other cases of adoptions gone wrong have been highlighted by Russia, which last year banned adoptions of Russian children by Americans.

Though the move was part of a broader political skirmish, it afforded Moscow the opportunity to complain about mistreatment and lack of postadoption oversight. About 20 Russian adoptees have died at the hands of their American parents, and in 2010, a Tennessee woman sent her 7-yearold adopted Russian son back to Moscow on a plane alone after losing patience with his behavior.

More recently, articles by the Reuters news agency in September detailed a phenomenon known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;re-homingâ&#x20AC;? in which adoptive parents whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve grown

frustrated with a child â&#x20AC;&#x201C; often one adopted from abroad â&#x20AC;&#x201C; arranged through Internet sites for another family to take the child.

The websites were not regulated by any government authority and the families taking the adopted children were not subject to any screening, in some cases leading to incidents of mistreatment. Advocacy groups are now calling for such child-swapping to be outlawed or subject to oversight by state childprotection workers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes you wonder: Is anyone going to want to do adoptions with us?â&#x20AC;? said Susan Jacobs, the U.S. State Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special adviser on childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issues and the Obama administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point person on international adoptions.

Some adoption advocates worry that the negative developments will result in fewer adoptions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thus consign more children to lives in foster care or foreign orphanages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reality is that adoption is a vastly successful solution for nearly all of the children who find families,â&#x20AC;? said Chuck Johnson, president of the National Council for Adoption. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For someone to conclude falsely that adoption is not the worthwhile endeavor it is, then tens of thousands of children will suffer similar or worse fates than these.â&#x20AC;?

Some improvements are expected starting next July, when higher standards take effect for

all U.S. adoption agencies that handle international adoptions. Among the many provisions of the Universal Accreditation Act is one requiring parents to receive training before the adoption to prepare them for future challenges.

The law does not specifically address post-adoption problems. Children adopted from abroad generally become U.S. citizens without delay, and thus it would be problematic to conduct any special tracking of them unless it was on a voluntary basis.

Though the State Department doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have direct responsibility for international adoptions once theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re completed, Susan Jacobs expressed interest in working with others in the adoption field to improve support services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to help parents to find resources when they are having trouble ... so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t turn to the Internet to get rid of their kids,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a horrible practice that can only lead to abuse and neglect.â&#x20AC;?

During the pre-adoption process, Jacobs said, parents should be given accurate information about a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical and psychological condition to minimize the chances of frustration later on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people say they have a heart for adoption. But you also have to have a head for it,â&#x20AC;? Jacobs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You think love will solve everything. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE STUDY

Ability to choose wisely declines with age Financial, medical decisions most significantly affected in over 65 set -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Eleanor J. Sidebottom

-ONDAY /CTOBER

When it comes to making boneheaded choices, teenagers usually win societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s award for overall poor decision-making.

Yet a study published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that our ability to make wise choices changes over time, and actually declines with old age.

In fact, the study found that in certain situations, the decision-making ability of people older than 65 was worse than that of adolescents.

While teens were more

apt to drive carelessly, the studyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s authors argued that seniors were more likely to make poor medical or financial decisions.

The study involved 135 men and women ages 12 to 90. Each was assigned a sum of money â&#x20AC;&#x201C; $125 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then asked a series of â&#x20AC;&#x153;lottery questions.â&#x20AC;?

The questions were designed to gauge risk aversion, consistency of thought and rationality.

Seniors â&#x20AC;&#x153;disturbinglyâ&#x20AC;? chose irrational wager options 25 percent of the time, according to the study. An example of an irrational choice would be to bypass a

sure gain of $5 in favor of an ambiguous or risky choice to win the same amount of cash.

By contrast, adolescents chose irrational options 10 percent of the time, while young and midlife adults chose them only 5 percent of the time.

Seniors were far more cautious than the other age groups when choosing between two possible cash gains. If faced with the option of receiving $5 for certain, or a lottery that paid $20 with a 50 percent chance of winning, seniors chose the $5.

When seniors faced a choice between two losses, however, such as losing $5 for certain or choosing a lottery in

which they stood a 50 percent chance of losing $20 or nothing, they chose the riskier option with the higher potential loss.

Seniors also lacked consistency, the study found. When a certain question was asked four times, seniors switched their answers â&#x20AC;&#x153;significantlyâ&#x20AC;? more than all other age groups and roughly twice as often as adults ages 21 to 50, the authors said.

The authors argued that the pattern of decision-making among elder participants in the study was not a function of illness or age-related dementia. The 36 seniors who participated were all screened and determined to be healthy.

RIVERSIDE CHAT

Students take peek inside local government A

t the same time the federal government was in the midst of a shutdown, a room full of Sterling High School students sat in a conference room on the second floor of the Sterling Coliseum.

The students were there, and not in a classroom at the high school Friday, because it was Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s government day. The students, all members of Jim Prestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s American government class, were at the Coliseum to study city government.

Preston has taught the class for 10 years, he said, and has taken some groups to Springfield. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all part of teaching them about governments at the local, state, and federal levels.

The students were learning something that I, as a city reporter covering Sterling and Rock Falls, have come to know: The local government often has a more immediate impact on their lives than whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on at the state or federal level.

Mayor Skip Lee mentioned this during his presentation to the students explaining his role and that of local government. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always aware of the state and national government,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that turning on any cable news program will show members of one political party blaming members of the others for something. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day, city govern-

These are topics that have an almost immediate impact on Rock Falls residents.

Citizen involvement is key for any government, including the city government. Many of the students will one day be voters, while others will run for public office and voice their opinions during a City Council meeting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re informed and

avoid apathy, Shumard told the students.

Prestonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students are taking the class at an interesting time. With budget battles in Springfield and Washington, and the federal government in shutdown mode, the class serves as a platform for discussions and questions about what it all means, Preston said.

And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to have those discussions if you know how each realm of government works.

PUMPKIN PICKING AT THE PUMPKIN DASH

Pumpkin farmers say 2013 crop looks good State produced about 623 million pounds during 2012 harvest

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Adam Steinert gives a pumpkin to his 2-year-old daughter, Olivia, Saturday afternoon at the Sterling Park Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 22nd annual Pumpkin Dash at Hoover Park.

HAMPSHIRE (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pumpkin harvest is shaping up to produce a bumper crop, according to Illinois farmers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a phenomenal crop this year,â&#x20AC;? said Wade Kuipers, whose family grows pumpkins on 25 acres in Maple Park.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good harvest can be credited in part to a wet spring and dry, late-summer weather, Kuipers told The (Elgin) Courier-News.

Illinois is the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top pumpkin producer.

According to federal agriculture statistics, the state harvested almost a third of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

total pumpkin acreage in 2012.

That yielded about 623 million pounds of pumpkins, which are technically a fruit.

Most of the pumpkins grown in Illinois are used for cooking and canning.

But others are decorative.

Terry Goebbertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family has been growing pumpkins and selling them in Hampshire and South Barrington since the 1950s. This year, the family planted 42 acres of pumpkins.

About 80 percent of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crop includes decorative varieties, and the remaining 20 percent are pumpkins that are best used for canning and pies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The harvest has been wonderful,â&#x20AC;? Goebbert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been one of our better years.â&#x20AC;?

Brady: Voters grow weary of Quinn

Private one-bed suites are

MCT News Service

State Sen. Bill Brady, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, said voters have grown weary of Democratic Gov. Pat Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s populist actions and want a leader who will â&#x20AC;&#x153;deal with reality.â&#x20AC;?

Brady, a Bloomington Republican who lost the 2010 general election to Quinn, also said he backs giving state tax breaks to agricultural processor Archer Daniels Midland to move its corporate headquarters to Chicago from its current base in Decatur.

Quinn, seeking his second elected term as governor next year, has said he will not back actions to help ADM move its headquarters until lawmakers deal with Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; worst-in-the-

nation unfunded public employee pension liability.

ADM is seeking $24 million in state assistance over 20 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to face reality. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be populist in this. The reality is because the governor has raised taxes so high, there are other alternatives (for ADM to relocate) out there,â&#x20AC;? Brady said in an

interview on WGN-AM. Brady is one of four major candidates for the Republican nomination for governor. Also seeking the nomination are state Sen. Kirk Dillard of Hinsdale, who narrowly lost to Brady 4 years ago, state Treasurer Dan Rutherford of Chenoa and wealthy businessman Bruce Rauner.

When my son, Ben, made this plea at the age of 19, he was in the early stages of what would become a severe mental illness, and we both feared what the future might hold.

Even our worst fears havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matched the reality of our experience.

Not only have we had to navigate a health care system unlike any that treats other physical health problems, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve found ourselves thrown into the world of criminal justice.

Brain imaging is beginning to shed some light on the parts of the brain afflicted by mental illness, but at this time, no diagnostic tests exist to diagnose and treat it. As a result, treatment involves drugs that may or may not alleviate symptoms.

Whether or not those drugs will be effective may not be known for several weeks.

In the event that they do not alleviate symptoms, the drug is changed, and the wait begins all over again while the awful symptoms continue unabated. In Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case, those symptoms included sleeplessness, increasing verbal combativeness, destruction of property, and delusions.

OVER THE COURSE of 10 years, Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care treatment has at times been shoddy, if not downright criminal, but this has been tempered by loving, compassionate care, as well.

The tragedy of mental health care in the U.S. is that we have criminalized the mentally ill. Part of the backlash against the deplorable conditions in mental institutions of the past was to deinstitutionalize the mentally ill without providing a backup system.

The result has been the homelessness or the incarceration of those who become symptomatic, rather than the provision of hospitalization they so desperately need.

Because the law requires that a person be a threat to themselves or others before being hospitalized against their will, families must helplessly watch the deterioration of their loved one before treatment can be forced.

Both judgment and Mary insight are Brokaw compromised, so behavior can manifest itself in bizarre ways, most of which fall within the parameters of criminal misdemeanors while others, unfortunately, result in national tragedies such as the recent Washington Navy Yard shootings.

EVEN MORE unfortunate is the way we politicize these tragedies for agendas that have nothing to do with the root cause â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the lack of good mental health care.

So how do I answer Benâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plea?

I work to change laws that prevent families from getting treatment for their loved one.

I work to change the minds of people who see mental illness as a character flaw, and so perpetuate the shame and stigma attached to an illness that no one chooses to have.

I pray for a time when people will observe odd behavior and recognize that they may be seeing a shattered life that once held great promise.

I look at pictures of Ben when his eyes were clear and his smile was bright, and I remember.

Note to readers: Mary Brokaw is vice president of National Alliance on Mental Illness, Sauk Area, a not-for-profit membership organization created to improve the lives of individuals and families challenged by mental illness.

Mental Illness Awareness Week is Oct. 6-12.

I was recently introduced to her father, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ted,â&#x20AC;? who has been alone for 13 years. Carole told me later in no uncertain terms that I cannot have a romantic relationship with her father. Then she repeated the same thing to him.

Do you think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right for adult children to dictate to their parents who they can and cannot see?

Ted and I are perplexed.

We really like each other and would like to see where this relationship could go. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your opinion? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Deserves To Be Happy

Dear Deserves: Before the relationship goes further, you and Ted should step back and ask yourselves what might happen if this romance doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out. Would the hurt feelings disrupt the family dynamic? If this can be handled thoughtfully, with grace and maturity, I agree that you deserve to be happy.

CAPITOL SHOOTING

Seeking clues into womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd behavior Family members still â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trying to put the pieces togetherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MCT News Service

BROOKLYN, N.Y. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; She was a big mystery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a seemingly caring mother who died after ramming her car in a highly secure area of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital.

And because so little was known about Miriam Carey, reporters from across the country headed to New York and Connecticut, seeking clues to explain the dental hygienistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s odd behav-

ior. When she was finally shot Thursday after leading authorities on a chase from the White House to Capitol Hill, her 1-yearold daughter was with her.

Miriamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Idella Carey, 68, had told ABC News on Thursday night that her daughter suffered from postpartum depression, and so reporters descended on Idella Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment building in the Louis Pink housing project, a cluster of more than a dozen squat brick buildings set around courtyards in East New York, Brooklyn.

On Friday, as news of Miriam Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death

s p r e a d , neighbors clustered around the courtyard talking and watching the Miriam three policeCarey men who stood at the door of that apartment building to keep reporters out.

But there were few clues about Miriam Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior at her motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Many people in the neighborhood said that the elder Carey, like many others in the project, which has seen its share of crime in recent years,

kept to herself. They mentioned seeing Miriam and her two sisters visiting at times, but most neighbors were tight-lipped about the family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known her a long time,â&#x20AC;? James Rainey said of Idella. Rainey, who has lived in a building across the courtyard for 47 years, said when he last spoke to Idella Carey a week ago, nothing seemed abnormal, and she hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mentioned her daughter.

Police, the FBI, and other law enforcement had searched Miriam Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ground-floor apartment building in Stamford, Conn., on Thursday night.

By Friday morning, the apartment, in a sprawling beige building surrounding a common grassy area with a gazebo in the middle, was quiet again and devoid of police.

Neighbors of Miriam Careyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, Valarie Carey, told the New York Daily News that Miriam frequently visited her sister wearing hospital scrubs, sometimes with a man in a Porsche Cayenne SUV. The neighbor said Miriam Carey had a breakdown when visiting her sister 3 months ago.

Miriamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other sister, Amy Carey-Jones, lives in an apartment building on

a street of brownstones in a rapidly gentrifying area of Brooklyn on the border of the Clinton Hill and Bed-Stuy neighborhoods.

Amy and Valarie appeared on CNN to talk about their sister; as part of their contract with anchor Anderson Cooper, they have decided not to talk to other media. In the interview they seemed unsure of what had happened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still trying to put the pieces together. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very sudden,â&#x20AC;? Amy CareyJones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem real. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just waiting for the real story as to exactly what happened to come out.â&#x20AC;?

SUPREME COURT

BUDGET BATTLE

Term begins with contentious topics

Boehner: No debt hike without concessions

Campaign finance, affirmative action among case topics WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Supreme Court is beginning a new term with controversial issues that offer the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conservative majority the chance to move aggressively to undo limits on campaign contributions, undermine claims of discrimination in housing and mortgage lending, and allow for more government-sanctioned prayer.

Assuming the government shutdown doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in their way, the justices also will deal with a case that goes to the heart of the partisan impasse in Washington: whether and when the president may use recess appointments to fill key positions without Senate confirmation.

The court was unaffected for the first few days of the government shutdown, and there was no expectation that arguments set for October would have to be rescheduled.

The new term that starts Monday may be short on the sort of high-profile battles over health care and gay marriage that marked the past 2 years. But several cases ask the court to overrule prior decisions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; bold action in an institution that relies on the power of precedent.

Campaign finance, affirmative action, legislative prayer, and abortion

Government gets closer to first default on debt

AP

Cardinal Donald Wuerl walks with U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts as they leave the church, after the Red Mass at Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington on Sunday. The Supreme Courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new term starts today. clinic protests all are on the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calendar. The justices also will hear for the second time the case of Carol Anne Bond, a woman who was convicted under an anti-terrorism law for spreading deadly chemicals around the home of her husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistress.

The justices probably will decide in the fall whether to resolve competing lower court decisions about the new health care lawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s requirement that employersponsored health plans include coverage of contraceptives.

An issue with a good chance to be heard involves the authority of police to search the con-

tents of a cellphone found on someone they arrest.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said over the summer that the right to privacy in the digital age â&#x20AC;&#x153;is bound to come up in many formsâ&#x20AC;? in the years ahead.

The court may hear its first abortion case since 2007, a review of an Oklahoma law that would restrict the use of certain abortion-inducing drugs such as RU-486.

The campaign finance argument on Tuesday is the first major case on the calendar. The 5-4 decision in the Citizens United case in 2010 allowed corporations and labor unions to spend unlimited sums in support of or opposition to candidates,

as long as the spending is independent of the candidates.

The new case, McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, is a challenge to the overall limits on what an individual may give to candidates, political parties and political action committees in a 2-year federal election cycle, currently $48,600 to candidates and $123,600 in total. The $2,600 limit on contributions to a candidate is not at issue.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The United States moved closer to the possibility of the first-ever default on the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s debt Sunday as Speaker John Boehner adamantly ruled out a House vote on a straightforward bill to boost the borrowing authority without concessions from President Barack Obama.

With no resolution in sight, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warned that Congress is â&#x20AC;&#x153;playing with fireâ&#x20AC;? as he called on lawmakers to quickly pass legislation re-opening the government and a measure increasing the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $16.7 trillion debt limit.

The government shutdown precipitated by the budget brinkmanship entered its sixth day with hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed, national parks closed

and an array of government services on hold.

Lew said Obama has not changed his opposition to coupling a bill to re-open the government and raise the borrowing authority with Republican demands for changes in the 3-yearold health care law and spending cuts.

Boehner insisted that Obama must negotiate if the president wants to end the shutdown and avert a default that could trigger a financial crisis and recession that would echo the events of 2008 or worse.

The 2008 financial crisis pushed the country into the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to pass a clean debt limit increase,â&#x20AC;? the Ohio Republican said in a television interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the president, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to pass one. The votes are not in the House to pass a clean debt limit, and the president is risking default by not having a conversation with us.â&#x20AC;?

FBI had placed $5 million bounty on al Libiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head #4 .EWS 3ERVICE

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; President Barack Obama personally approved a daring raid by the U.S. Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Delta Force and agents from the CIA and FBI that led to the capture of an alQaida leader outside his home in Libya, according to officials who were briefed on the events.

The raid on Saturday nabbed a former lieutenant of Osama bin Laden, Nazih Abdul-Hamed al-Ruqqai whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s better known by his alias, Abu Anas al Libi. The Defense Department said Sunday that he was being held on a U.S naval ship in the Mediterranean.

Even some of Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harshest critics gave him credit for Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation; al Libi is believed to be one of the masterminds behind the deadly 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that this is a plus,â&#x20AC;? Rep. Steve King, a conservative Republican from Iowa, told CNN. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly glad that we have that kind of order out there for those missions. It strengthens his

hand probably marginally, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good thing.â&#x20AC;?

Al Libi, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been indicted for terrorismrelated offenses in New York, returned to his hometown of Tripoli in 2011 after U.S.-backed rebels toppled and killed Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi.

Benjamin Barber, author of two books on U.S. counterterrorism policies and a senior research fellow at New York University, said al Libi had been able to live openly in Tripoli because after Gadhafiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall, the North African nation had become â&#x20AC;&#x153;a broken-down, rogue stateâ&#x20AC;? run by tribal militias. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are the folks we put into power,â&#x20AC;? he told McClatchy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They released all the al-Qaida guys (from prison). They let this guy (al Libi) back into the country. They are, in effect, protecting the clan or tribe that killed our ambassador in Benghazi. Those guys are still on the loose, and the regime canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do anything about them.â&#x20AC;?

U.S. officials said al Libi, 49, would eventually be tried in the United States and not sent to the controversial U.S. prison for alleged terrorists in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

But with al Libi being

held at sea for interrogation by U.S. intelligence agencies, Barber said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect him to be brought to the United States for criminal prosecution in the near future.

The Libyan government said Sunday it had not been told in advance of the U.S. raid, contradicting U.S. officials who claimed that there was some advance notice.

The FBI had placed a $5 million bounty on al Libiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head and made him one of its most-wanted fugitives after he was indicted in New York on charges of having helped plan the August 1998 bombings that killed 223 people at the embassies in Africa, among them two CIA agents and 10 other Americans.

In Libya, al Libiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wife and brother said his car was surrounded by U.S. commandos when he drove up to his home in the Libyan capital after attending morning prayers.

Rep. Howard â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buckâ&#x20AC;?

McKeon, a California Republican and chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, said U.S. interrogators should make every effort to extract â&#x20AC;&#x153;the vast intelligence valueâ&#x20AC;? from al Libi before transferring him to FBI custody for trial in New York.

Jeffery has career day, but Bears lose second in a row

BY DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Kevin Harvick didn’t just have his hands full with the Sprint Cup field Sunday. He also was trying to tame a squirrely surface at Kansas Speedway.

He handled both better than anybody else.

Harvick pulled away from Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon on a late restart to win a wreck-filled race over the recently repaved track, keeping his No. 29 Chase Top 5 Chevrolet out of Matt Kenseth 2,183 trouble all afternoon Jimmie Johnson -3 and making a big Kevin Harvick -25 -32 move in the Chase Jeff Gordon -35 for the Sprint Cup Kyle Busch championship.

CHICAGO – The Bears were rolling along with three straight wins to start the season, sending hopes soaring around Chicago.

Nothing like back-to-back losses to dampen the mood.

The Bears dropped their second straight on Sunday, falling 26-18 to New Orleans despite Alshon Jeffery’s franchise-record 218 yards receiving.

Jay Cutler also had a solid game, throwing for 358 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to prevent Chicago (3-2) from falling again.

Coming off a loss to Detroit, little went right for the Bears in this one.

STERLING – After a 12-0 start to the season, Sterling was sitting pretty. Things have gotten a bit bumpy since.

The Golden Warriors have gone 7-4 in their last 11 matches, including their 4-1 run Saturday at the Sterling Invitational at the Westwood Sports Complex that earned them third place.

Sterling (19-4) swept its three pool-play matches against Bureau Valley, Pecatonica and Peoria Christian before falling to Metamora 17-20, 20-17, 15-10 in the semifinals.

Metamora (19-4) reached the Class 3A Sweet 16 last season.

We just got tired and didn’t want to push anymore, and gave up.

NBA | DERRICK ROSE RETURNS

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;No one like himâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Thibodeau satisfied with Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return in exhibition

Today

BY K.C. JOHNSON #HICAGO 4RIBUNE

INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This time, Derrick Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s look of anguish came from the heat of competition, not from trying to explain his absence.

Racing downcourt and bracing for contact from Lance Stephenson, Rose reacted incredulously when officials called him for a block early in Saturday nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition opener at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.

The contact, followed by competitive fire, confirmed Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return.

The Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 82-76 victory over the Pacers mattered not. Significance came in the form of Rose taking an NBA court for the first time since April 28, 2012, a span of 525 days.

Oh, how he was missed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for the league,â&#x20AC;? coach Tom Thibodeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for everybody. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly good for our team. He has put a lot of work in.â&#x20AC;?

Rose finished with 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting, three assists, two steals and four turnovers in 20 minutes, 26 seconds. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t attempt a 3-pointer, and came out for good at the 7:07 mark of the third quarter.

The measurables

Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s line: POINTS FOR SHOOTING ASSISTS

STEALS TURNOVERS IN MINUTES SECONDS IN FIRST IN SECOND IN THIRD Beyond statistics, speed stood out. As did lack of hesitation, fear, or any other worrisome signs from someone who had assured all he had recovered fully from May 2012 surgery to repair his torn left anterior cruciate ligament.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the past,â&#x20AC;?

Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking to the future.â&#x20AC;?

Rose showed rust. He came up woefully short on consecutive secondquarter free throws, and later committed back-toback sloppy turnovers.

But there were more bursts of brilliance.

Rose had back-to-back, coast-to-coast drives in the second quarter, and a third-quarter dunk off a Pacer turnover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see how he makes the game easier for everybody, and the speed at which he plays,â&#x20AC;? Thibodeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, I thought he played very, very well.

The speed, the quickness, the power. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes him so special and unique. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no one like him.â&#x20AC;?

MLB POSTSEASON | NLDS GAME 3 | PIRATES 5, CARDINALS 3

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in this situationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Beltran is right; last time, his Cardinals were eliminated

BY WILL GRAVES !0 3PORTS 7RITER

PITTSBURGH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carlos Beltranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest postseason homer gave the Cardinals a chance to win Sunday. Just as quickly, the resilient Pirates took that opportunity away.

Pedro Alvarez hit a go-ahead single in the eighth inning minutes after Beltranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo shot tied the game, and the Pirates beat the Cardinals 5-3 for a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five division series.

Now, the NL Central champions are one loss from a playoff exit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in this situation,â&#x20AC;? Beltran said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, I think we were in this situation a lot. So I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fine, man.â&#x20AC;?

Beltran finished 2-for-3 with three RBIs, and his 16th playoff home run moved him past Babe Ruth for eighth place in postseason history.

Busch extends crash streak to three races RAZOR

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was battling the tires and the track, and I think it was like driving on a razor blade,â&#x20AC;? Harvick said.

Harvick sat on the pole for the first time in 254 races, and that should have given him some confidence. He also won the last time he qualified first, at New Hampshire in 2006. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These guys just did a great job all weekend,â&#x20AC;?

Harvick said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have a car fast enough for me to qualify on the pole says a lot about how fast this thing is.â&#x20AC;?

On the calendar Local events

Harvick was chased across the line by Busch and Gordon. Joey Logano finished fourth, Carl Edwards was fifth, and Johnson finished sixth, despite a hiccup with his engine on the final lap that cost him a spot.

Kenseth held onto his lead in the Chase with an 11th-place finish. Johnson narrowed the gap to three points, while Harvick closed to within 25 points heading to Charlotte.

Kyle Busch was the big loser after crashing out of his third straight Sprint Cup race at Kansas. He dropped from third in points to fifth, 35 out of first place.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;All in all, just a crazy day,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wacky restarts, a lot of chaos there, and caution after caution for who knows what.â&#x20AC;?

There were 15 cautions in the race, breaking the record of 14 set in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. The first came when the race wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a lap old and Danica Patrick slammed into the wall.

Kenseth called the race â&#x20AC;&#x153;treacherous,â&#x20AC;? pointing to the combination of a repave last year and Goodyearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new â&#x20AC;&#x153;multizoneâ&#x20AC;? tires that made it seem as if they were skating across a smooth, glasslike surface most of the afternoon.

An intriguing storyline coming into the race involved Chase contender Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski, who got together in the Nationwide race Saturday.

Keselowski said that Busch intentionally dumped him, and seemed to indicate he would retaliate in the Sprint Cup race.

Keselowski even asked NASCAR President Mike Helton in the pre-race driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting about the line between hard racing and intentional wrecks.

It turned out that Busch kept going for spins without Keselowskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s help.

Jones, Packers cage Lions Without threat of Megatron, Green Bay â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bottles up Detroit

BY GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; James Jones wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be denied a Lambeau leap after a long touchdown catch.

So when a Lions fan â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sitting in enemy territory, no less â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pushed him out of the stands, the Packers receiver tried to make the traditional celebratory jump one more time. Success.

His 83-yard touchdown reception late in the third quarter was just the big-play spark the Packers needed to liven up an offense that otherwise settled for field goals in a 22-9 win Sunday over the undermanned Detroit Lions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yeah, man, a Detroit Lion fan pushed me out of there one time,â&#x20AC;?

Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to double jump.â&#x20AC;?

Mason Crosby kicked five field goals. The defense contained Reggie Bush and took advantage of an offense playing without star receiver Calvin Johnson, who had missed a couple days of practice last week with a knee injury.

With Megatron out, Jones stole the show with a highlight-reel catch.

Jones had a step on his man down the left sideline, and Aaron Rodgers delivered a perfectly timed throw.

With another defensive back closing in around the 15, Jones turned right about 45 degrees to get into the end zone for a 16-3 lead with 3:12 left in the third quarter.

He took a bow while dancing on his heels. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get caught. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping, because I never wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve heard the end of it from everybody in here,â&#x20AC;? said Jones, who

NFL ROUNDUP

Broncos beat Cowboys in shootout Colts come back to knock off Seahawks; Chiefs still undefeated

By The Associated Press

Matt Prater kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired, and Peyton Manning and Denver overcame the first 500-yard passing game in Dallas history to keep the Broncos unbeaten with a 51-48 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday in Arlington, Texas.

Manning set a new NFL record with 20 touchdown passes through his first five games, and finished with 414 yards and four scores for Denver.

Tony Romo threw for 506 yards and five touchdowns for Dallas, but he was intercepted by Danny Trevathan inside the Dallas 30 in the final 2 minutes to set up Praterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winning kick.

The teams combined for 1,039 yards of total offense in the second-highest scoring game in regulation

career fourth-quarter comeback, and finished 16-for-29 for 229 yards.

Indy trailed 12-0 early, went ahead after Howellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return, then rallied again to take the lead for good on Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TD. Russell Wilson was 15-for-31 for 210 yards with two TDs and an interception, and ran 13 times for 102 yards.

The Broncosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Danny Trevathan (59) intercepts a pass from the Cowboysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tony Romo to receiver Gavin Escobar (89) late in the fourth quarter Sunday in Arlington, Texas. The Broncos kicked the winning field goal with 2 seconds left for a 51-48 win. touchdown passes, and Donald Brown scored the go-ahead TD with 8:55 to go in Indianapolis.

Delano Howell scored on a 61-yard return of Colts 34, Seahawks 28: a blocked field goal for Andrew Luck threw two Indy. Luck led his ninth since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, according to STATS. Cincinnati and Cleveland combined for 106 points in the Brownsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 58-48 win in 2004.

Jamaal Charles scored a 1-yard touchdown with 6:23 left, and the Chiefs rallied on the road to keep up their perfect start.

The Chiefs (5-0) are off to their best start since 2003, when they won their first nine games. This win came despite blowing a 13-0 halftime lead.

Charles put the Chiefs ahead to stay, and their defense intercepted Ryan Fitzpatrick twice in the final 6:14.

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

NIU nearly joins 700 club in comeback win Northwestern canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish major upset; Huskers hold Illinois in check

By The Associated Press

Cameron Stingily ran for a career-high 266 yards and two scores as Northern Illinois remained undefeated with a 38-24 win over Kent State on Saturday in Kent, Ohio.

Northern Illinois (5-0, 1-0 Mid-American) trailed 24-21 in the third quarter, but scored 17 unanswered points, beginning with a 22-yard touchdown run

by James Spencer midway through the quarter.

Spencer then scored on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Lynch on the Huskiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; following possession. Lynch threw for 244 yards and ran for 106 more.

NIU finished with 698 yards of total offense, 454 yards rushing.

Northwestern could not secure its first win over a top-5 team since 1959.

The Buckeyes (6-0) rallied from two second-half deficits at a packed Ryan Field, extending their winning streak to 18 games, the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest.

With Northwestern (5-1, 0-1) trailing 34-30 and needing about 2 feet for a first down, Kain Colter went under center.

He fumbled the snap, but then grabbed it and appeared to surge forward, but the ball was

To make matters worse, Northwestern used a timeout to challenge the spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a timeout they could have used after stopping Braxton Miller on third down.

Instead, the Wildcats got the ball back with just 21 seconds to play. Needing 84 yards for a game-winning touchdown, Northwestern went backward.

Just as big as Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance was that of Nebraskaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense, which had been one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst through four games.

Illinois (3-2, 0-1), which came in averaging 40 points a game, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score its first touchdown until the middle of the third quarter. Twice when the Illini looked as if they would make a game of it, the Huskers made big stops.

Josh Ferguson led the Illini with 114 rushing yards on 19 carries, and 82 yards on eight catches.

Watchful play can preserve contract

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Confucius said, “The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security, he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come.”

For someone who died in 479 B.C., he came out with some doozies.

At the bridge table, an expert always wonders about dangers – distributions that might upset his contract.

This deal would be misplayed by the unwary, who would assume all will be secure.

But how would a careful declarer proceed? South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace, cashes the king

and shifts to a low club.

South’s two-club rebid was New Minor Forcing. It promised at least game-invitational values and asked partner to describe his hand further.

Here, North bid two spades to show three-card support.

South has two losers outside the trump suit, so he can afford one spade loser but not two.

Regardless, the mathematicians tell us that five missing cards will divide 3-2 a whopping 76.8 percent of the time. So what’s the problem? Win the third trick, play a spade to dummy’s king, and return a spade to the ace ... and go down one.

We forget that a 4-1 split has a probability of 28.3 percent – not a lot short of one time in three.

As no doubt you have noticed, on the second round of trumps, South should play his 10. When it wins, he can claim. But if it loses to the jack or queen, spades are breaking 3-2 and the contract is safe. © 2013 UFS

CONTINUED FROM B1

In the third-place match, three blocks and two kills from Harris propelled the Warriors to a 9-4 start. Wethersfield (16-5) bounced back to take the lead, and was up 14-13 before an 8-0 Sterling tear.

The burst included two kills apiece by Harris and Gabby Sandoval and a Martin ace, giving the Warriors a 21-14 advantage.

Wethersfield closed within a point twice, the latter instance at 24-23, before a Martin kill secured the win.

Sterling lost the first point of Set 2. That was its only deficit in the set. The Warriors jumped in front 6-2, thanks to two kills and an ace from Martin, a pair of aces by Taylor Hendrix, and a kill from Harris.

The Flying Geese pulled even twice. With the score 8-all, Sterling closed the match with a 17-3 blitz, including 11 straight points to finish.

“I’m content with third place, but thought we could have been playing for first,” Warriors coach Dale Dykeman said. “We’re having some inconsistencies, and that was evident today. The competition’s gotten much better the last 10 games. We’ve seen some really good teams.

“That’s the competition we want to see going into the postseason.”

Dakota has been unbeatable all season, and was again Saturday. The Indians (29-0) defeated Metamora in three sets in the championship. Dakota was the Class 1A state champ in 2011, and the 2A runner-up in 2012.

The most talented receiver in the history of the Bears had changed into gray sweatpants and a gray hooded sweatshirt, which reflected the color of his mood. His socks, white with rows of bicycles printed on them, seemed too happy and offbeat for the occasion.

The Bears had lost, 26-18, to the New Orleans Saints, and Marshall had spent the bulk of his Sunday afternoon serving as a highly paid afterthought in a sputtering offense that produced two touchdowns, a field goal, four punts, a fumble and a turnover on downs.

By game’s end, Marshall had caught only four passes for 30 yards and a touchdown. His late score – a 2-yard reception to pull the Bears within eight points – represented lipstick on a pig (or should we say pigskin?), coming after thousands of disappointed fans already had filed out of Soldier Field.

Sorry for patting myself on the back, but there’s not too much that I can hang my hat on today. We lost. I got shut out. But Alshon Jeffery, man, he’s coming.”

Jeffery might be coming, but the Bears are going nowhere without Marshall at his best.

The best way to free Marshall, quarterback Jay Cutler said, was with record-setting performances such as Jeffery’s.

“It’s going to come,” Cutler said of Marshall’s targets. “You can’t keep doubling him and letting another receiver go for 200 [yards]. It’s silly to keep doing that. “‘B’ is going to get his.

He’s just got to keep trusting us, and he has.”

On a gray sweatpants kind of day, that news was as close to a win as the Bears could get.

“My main concern is not what I did, but about what the team did,” Jeffery said. “We didn’t get the win, so that’s what I focus on.”

What he did sure was impressive, though. If he keeps it up, that might draw some attention away from Marshall, who clearly wasn’t happy after catching just four passes for 30 yards.

“I can do a better job of getting myself open [against] that coverage, and we just have to make adjustments,” Marshall said. “We know teams are going to try to take me out of the game. But I have faith in our guys in this locker room and the coaches upstairs that we’re going to do what’s best for the team. We’ve just got to bounce back.”

Brees was 29-for-35 passing for 288 yards in his first victory in four career games at Soldier Field.

Garrett Hartley matched a career high with four field goals as New Orleans picked up its first win in Chicago since a 31-10 victory on Oct. 8, 2000.

“It’s about that time,” Brees said with a chuckle. “Man, we’ve come up here quite a few times in some big games, and unfortunately we’re never able to walk away with a victory – ’06, ’07 and ’08, in 3 consecutive years. We’ve been waiting for that opportunity to come back.”

Graham continued his torrid start for the Saints, catching 10 balls for 135 yards in his fourth consecutive 100-yard game – matching an NFL

Bears quarterback Jay Cutler (6) fumbles the ball as Saints free safety Malcolm Jenkins (27) tackles him during the first half Sunday at Soldier Field. The Bears couldn’t recover from a rough start in a 26-18 loss. record for a tight end. Tony Gonzalez was the first to accomplish the streak in 2000, and Graham matched the surge in 2011.

Trailing 26-10 with 3 minutes left, Cutler led the Bears on one last scoring drive. He passed to Marshall for a 2-yard TD, and Matt Forte ran in the 2-point conversion.

The Bears got the ball back with 21 seconds left and no timeouts.

Cutler then passed to Jeffery in the middle of the field for 21 yards, but time expired before they could run another play.

The bigger issue for the Bears

was the way they started the game.

They went three-and-out on their first possession. Cutler got sacked and stripped by Malcolm Jenkins on the first play of their next drive, leading to a second field goal for New Orleans. And their third possession ended with a punt.

“The first three series really hurt our tempo and our rhythm and our defense stepped up early and held the Saints to field goals but the residual is they were on the field too long because of our start on the first three series,” coach Marc Trestman said.

Americans dominate again, run streak to 5 Woods clinches Cup again for U.S. DUBLIN, Ohio – Fred Couples, the coolest guy in golf, never really looked that way until he stood on the edge of the 18th fairway Sunday and saw everything going his way.

The Americans needed only one more point to win the Presidents Cup. And there was Tiger Woods, who has a history of delivering the winning point, in the middle of the fairway at Muirfield Village, where he has won a record five times.

The Presidents Cup ended just the way it always does.

Woods found the green and two-putted for par and a 1-up victory over Richard Sterne, the third straight time he has won the clinching point in the Presidents Cup. The Americans won for the fifth straight time – and eighth time in 10 tries –

against an International side that showed some fight when it was too late to matter.

The Americans, who finished strong Sunday morning in the raindelayed foursomes for a 14-8 lead, only needed to win four singles matches.

It took longer than anyone expected.

“I must have asked 500 times, ‘How are we getting this fourth point?

Where is the fourth point coming from?’” said Couples, a three-time winner as U.S. captain. “You’re nervous. Not for the players; the players know what they’re doing. But we knew we needed 18 points, and we got them.

“It was a very, very good match today. And the matches were all close.

At no given time was I a nervous wreck. But it was nice when Tiger twoputted that last green to get the 18th point.”

Tiger Woods hits out of the rough during the singles matches Sunday at the Presidents Cup at Muirfield Village Golf Club in Dublin, Ohio. The Americans won the Cup for the fifth straight time.

The final score – United States 18½, International 15½ – and whether they’d beat the rain was really the only suspense Sunday.

“People say it was close.

Jack [Nicklaus] said it was close,” International captain Nick Price said. “You tell me. We were behind the 8-ball all day. If we pulled it off, it would have been miraculous.”

Zach Johnson closed out Branden Grace, 4 and 2, to give the Americans 17 points and assure them a tie. It took more than an hour to get that last point, but Woods delivered.

“It was a team effort this whole week,” said Woods, whose 4-1 record was the best of any player. “We really played well to give ourselves a nice lead.”
