Kmart to close Company plans mid-January shutdown of store

BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 525

STERLING – Sterling’s Kmart is going the way of many others across the country.

The store announced to its local employees Thursday that it would close its doors in midJanuary. It plans to start its liquidation sale Oct. 27.

“The store closures are part of

a series of actions we’re taking to reduce ongoing expenses,” corporate spokesman Howard Riefs said in an email to Sauk Valley Media late Thursday afternoon.

The store in Sterling has 58 employees.

“They have the opportunity to apply for positions at other Kmart and Sears stores,” said Riefs, who works for Sears Holdings Corporation, which

owns Kmart.

The store had no outward indications Thursday that its days were numbered, with the exception of a sign in the layaway department indicating that the store, effective Thursday, would no longer accept Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com layaways. The store’s shelves were fully stocked.

Customers walk into the Kmart store Thursday afternoon in Sterling, shortly after the company announced that it would close the KMART CONTINUED ON A2 store in mid-January. The Sterling store has 58 employees.

Highway mural valued at $10K

Trial date set for Amboy murder case

Grants will pay for work

Welling charged in killing of 79-year-old man

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

STERLING – Thanks to the city’s location along the Lincoln Highway, Sterling has a new piece of art.

A mural on the north side of Grummert’s Hardware, 424 Locust St., was installed Thursday as part of the mural program of the Illinois Lincoln Highway Coalition. It was the 34th mural installed.

The program’s final mural was also installed Thursday in Rochelle, said Sue Hronik, the coalition’s program director.

Sterling’s mural is one of two in the program made up of more than one painting. Its five pieces depict early 1940s advertisements for an NBC national radio program, The Lincoln Highway Radio Show, which was broadcast on 80 radio stations, according to a news release. “We wanted to tell that story, which lends itself to replicating the advertising of the day and made it seem more interesting,� Hronik said. “To make it look like posters and advertising, it just made it fit even better.�

The other mural with multiple pieces is in North Aurora. It has three

The last of a series of Lincoln Highway murals was installed Thursday on Grummert’s Hardware in downtown Sterling and in Rochelle. The murals have been installed in many of the towns the historic road passed through.

pieces, Hronik said.

Each of the murals was designed by Jay Allen, owner of ShawCraft Sign Co. in Machesney Park, and painted off-site before being installed on the side of a building that met the guidelines of the Illinois

Lincoln Highway Coalition.

The coalition wanted all the murals to be visible to visitors in each city, and also face a direction that would preserve the painting as long as possible.

The murals, which Hronik said are valued at

$10,000 each, were paid for by a National Scenic Byway Grant and a grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, according to the news release.

All Sterling had to do was provide a wall and the frames, otherwise it was a gift to the city, said Sterling Main Street Director Janna Groharing.

The program also paid for murals in several other Sauk Valley locations, including Rochelle, Rock Falls and Dixon.

DIXON – Lee County Judge Ron Jacobson on Thursday set a Nov. 12 trial date for an Amboy man accused in the 2012 beating death of an elderly man in his home.

Matthew W. Welling, 33, is charged with five c o u n t s of firstd e g r e e murder and two counts of home invasion in the Matthew W. death of Welling Delmar Leroy Daniels, 79, also of Amboy.

Reagan students caught with drug paraphernalia Charges pending for 13-year-olds

BY CHRISTI WARREN AND DEREK BARICHELLO cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 521

DIXON – Two Reagan Middle School students are accused of being in possession of drug paraphernalia on school grounds.

According to Dixon Police Lt. Clay Whelan,

at about 7:30 Wednesday morning, the teacher monitoring the school’s parking lot became aware of some “suspicious activity� and alerted school administration.

Police were called, and upon completing a search, two 13-year-old boys were found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia.

Whelan said the boys’ parents were called, and that charges are pending.

Dixon Superintendent

Michael Juenger said past practice has been to suspend a student from school for 10 days with the possibility of expulsion for a first offense. “If the parent agrees to drug counseling for their child at their expense, if there is an expense, the expulsion recommendation is dropped,� Juenger said. “The above information is based upon a student having no significant past disciplinary history.�

She told officers that a man with blond hair knocked on the door at about 2 a.m. that morning and struggled with her husband before stabbing him with a pair of scissors.

Near Daniels’ body, officers found a black shirt, a pair of flipflops and a black necklace that had a small metallic urn containing ashes with the inscription “Alan M Welling 1977-2002.�

Police say Welling later admitted to being at the Danielses’ home after drinking at an Amboy bar and said there was “lots of blood.�

He told deputies that as he ran, he lost his black shirt, flipflops, and necklace carrying his brother’s ashes.

Welling is in Lee County Jail on $2 million bond. His final pretrial conference is scheduled for Oct. 17.

DIXON | AFTER CRUNDWELL

City officials get good reception at forum

BY DAVID GIULIANI DGIULIANI SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON – No boos. No brawls. No barbs – at least out loud.

Dixon officials took suggestions from the public on how to spend $40 million the city will receive – after legal fees are paid – from an out-of-court settlement and sales of Rita Crundwell’s assets.

Thursday was the first time the city held a town hall related to Crundwell, the former comptroller who stole nearly $54 million from city coffers over more than two decades. All in all, city officials got a good reception.

More than 200 people showed up in the auditorium at Loveland Community House, sitting on metal folding chairs.

Eight TV cameramen were on hand. Two police officers stood guard.

The city reserved two front rows for its employees – and attorney Devon Bruce, whose Chicago law firm is getting $10 million from the settlement.

Bruce stayed quiet.

On Tuesday, Mayor Jim Burke promised to take questions about the Crundwell scandal at the forum. A day later, he reversed himself. At the town hall, he said he would speak about the whole matter after the settlement documents are signed and delivered.

The town hall lasted a little more than an hour and a half, ending just in time for the Chicago Bears’ kickoff.

During a 40-minute presentation, officials focused on the city’s

John Arnold says during Thursday’s meeting at Loveland Community House that he believes it would be beneficial for the city to use some of the $40 million it will receive to reduce the tax rate for the citizens of Dixon. progress since federal authorities arrested Crundwell on April 17, 2012.

Dixon Finance Director Paula Meyer (the city ditched the comptroller title post-Crundwell) told the crowd that the city operated with fewer employees than Sterling, a similarly sized city. “The city operates rather efficiently,� Meyer said. “Except when you get ripped off,� a man told a friend in the audience.

Getting feedback, city employees walked microphones to speakers.

Those wearing “Save the Pool� T-shirts pushed for spending money on renovating the old Memorial Pool, which has been

closed for more than a decade. And a Rockford businessman asked the city to invest money in a project to improve access to the Rock River.

Those who got the loudest applause called for cutting water and sewer rates.

The city’s former finance commissioner, Walter Lohse, who served from 1967 to 1987, advised the city to resist spending the settlement money on large capital projects. “Those projects should stand on their own merits through referendum,� he said.

He noted his previous position with the city, adding that he left before the “pilfering� began. In

the early 1980s, though, he recommended Crundwell, a city employee, for comptroller.

Two audience members praised Meyer. Both Meyer and Burke got applause.

One resident referred to the settlement as a “windfall,� but another, Geoff Vanderlin, objected to that wording. “This is getting back the money we should have been spending all along,� he said.

By about 7:30 p.m., the meeting had run out of speakers. “I’m told it’s 3 minutes to kickoff,� Police Chief Danny Langloss told the crowd.

The meeting then ended. The mayor walked

out of the woodenfloored auditorium with Bruce.

Afterward, resident William Doan said he disagreed with any immediate lowering of taxes, as some suggested. “We should see how it all works out,� he said. “We don’t want to get ourselves in a pickle.�

A hair-‘razing’ day at school Students shave teacher’s head for cancer fundraiser

BY KIMBERLY WATLEY For Sauk Valley Media

AMBOY – Students were more excited than usual to get to Amboy Junior High School Thursday morning. In addition to being an early dismissal day, an assembly unlike any other was scheduled.

They got to shave a teacher’s hair off.

Sixth-grade social studies teacher Allen Duerksen walked around the gym with a floppy pink sun hat atop his shoulder-length, curly hair as students filed in, most wearing pink in support of Cancer Awareness Month.

His hair was sectioned off in small ponytails around his head. His wife Peggy, a two-time cancer survivor, couldn’t contain her smile as her husband took center stage.

Each year, sixth-grade students work on a community service project.

This year they are raising money for the American Cancer Society.

The school district no longer had need of the building, which has been replaced by a new structure.

GUEST COLUMN

State needs guidance; panel could provide it Fiscal, societal woes must be addressed to secure future Many taxpayers have focused in recent weeks on the copper-plated doors newly installed at the Capitol. Critics rap them as exorbitant; preservationists and architects deem them appropriate for the grand, historic building and stress they should last for at least 30 years.

But what about barred doors that restrict opportunity and could diminish the Land of Lincoln during those decades?

Mettle, not metal, should command our interest and energy.

We need to go back for our future.

Back to providing vital assistance to most, if not all, financially challenged youths who have earned the chance to achieve a college degree.

Back to surging momentum in early childhood education.

Back to having existing and prospective businesses beckoned by sunshine unobstructed by menacing clouds of frightening government deficits.

Back to having a broadly based panel of Illinoisans delve into how the state raises and spends

Allowing innocents to fall behind and never close the gap defies humaneness and pragmatism; it cheats them and us of their potential and productivity.

At another such moment, less dire but still urgent, Democratic and Republican leaders, liberals and conservatives, agents of business and organized labor, as well as scholars in various areas, earnestly studied the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue and spending patterns in the midst of the 1968 gubernatorial campaign with the mission of recommending reforms to the victor.

We should use those markers as guideposts to redirect, rescue, and revive a state drifting into backwater. They embody a vision eclipsing the next election.

Do we continue to spurn half of those who qualify for need-based scholarships? This year, higher education officials estimate 178,500 turndowns based on insufficient funding.

LITTLE MORE THAN a decade ago, almost every eligible applicant received assistance covering the bulk of tuition and fees at a public university. Since then, we have experienced substantial weakening of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resolve to help youths and nontraditional students with little or modest income at their disposal attain degrees without mountainous debt.

To ensure a better future for Illinois, important fiscal and societal reforms must be addressed at the Illinois State Capitol. Columnist Mike Lawrence proposes the creation of a high-powered, diverse panel to study the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems and offer solutions. advantaged youths who have cleared seemingly insurmountable hurdles. We must help them reach for their best even in these worst of fiscal times.

Likewise, we must regain the momentum that took us to the zenith of states in providing early childhood education. Voices for Illinois

Children reports participation in state-funded, pre-kindergarten programs dropped from 95,100 to 80,000 during the last 4 years, after a 10-year surge.

Illinois should be accelerating instead of braking its efforts to nurture the brains as well as the bodies of atrisk children from birth.

THE GROUP WAS LED

by Simeon E. Leland, a government finance expert who had served as board chair of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.

It was established by Gov. Samuel H. Shapiro, who was battling against contender Richard B. Ogilvie.

Citing the work-inprogress of the Leland committee, Shapiro, Ogilvie and many legislative candidates finessed budgetary issues during their campaigns rather than make irresponsible promises.

Pay off debts; hold off awhile BILL MOORE Dixon

To Mayor Burke and the city commissioners: I would like to recommend to the city mayor and commissioners that your first move with the funds that are coming to the city is to pay off all the debts that the city has incurred since the problem of shortcomings has happened.

The sewer obligation should be first and foremost on everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind, as this one obligation alone has raised the cost of water and sewer for the average user a considerable amount.

We all need some relief from this situation. After

this happens, just let the dust settle before any other decisions are made.

I personally think Mayor Burke and his party did a very good job on recouping those funds and should be congratulated for it. Although this felony never should have occurred, we are very fortunate to obtain this recovery, and the dollars should be guarded wisely.

A job and resource fair will be held 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Mount Morris Moose Lodge, 101 Moose Drive. Heaven knows we need it.

There are still many unemployed who possibly need assistance from other resources. My goal is to bring those resources to people in our area.

Too often, people hear of it after the fact, or have no way to travel far, etc.

So I decided to organize one in our area, and it is open to the general public, no matter where you are from.

October is a busy month

for everyone, and I am still working to confirm more vendors to participate.

There are still four vendors for me to hear back from yet (everyone is very interested). I will keep everyone posted with any updates.

Any employer, business, employment agency, local organization, continuing education, etc., interested in participating is welcome to still attend. There is no charge to the vendor who wishes to participate.

There are plenty of tables and chairs and free Wifi (people should plan on bringing their own laptop, iPad, tablet, etc.). There is ample parking and handicap accessibility.

Any vendor wishing to participate must please contact me as soon as possible by email at grannys-

MOVIE REVIEW

Greengrass delivers with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Captain Phillipsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Film released in theaters today #4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Few directors do guysin-distress better than Paul Greengrass.

From the man-on-therun kineticism of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bourne Ultimatumâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Bourne Supremacyâ&#x20AC;? to the doomed heroics of â&#x20AC;&#x153;United 93,â&#x20AC;? the British director seems fascinated by men driven to the brink.

So, there was probably no better choice to tell the Hollywood story of Richard Phillips, the captain of the Maersk Alabama, who was hijacked by Somali pirates in 2009 before being rescued by Navy SEAL snipers.

And with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain Phillips,â&#x20AC;? Greengrass doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t disappoint, injecting the story with a sense of nervous energy and creeping claustrophobia. The

movie manages to be both tense and suspenseful, even though the world knows how it ends.

The film starts in a dusty, barren Somalia where we meet Muse (Barkhad Abdi), thin as wire and tough as a tire iron. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of several young Somali men responding to a call for volunteers to help commandeer commercial ships making their way through the Gulf of Aden.

He quickly shows himself to be a leader, standing up to some of the other, more aggressive volunteers.

Meanwhile, Phillips (Tom Hanks) is home in Vermont getting ready to leave for another day at work â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though his job is several thousand miles away. He says goodbye to his wife (Catherine Keener) and heads off into what will turn out to be his place in history.

Hanks plays Phillips with

From left, Faysal Ahmed, Barkhad Abdi, Barkhad Abdirahman, and Mahat Ali are shown in a scene of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain Phillips,â&#x20AC;? releasing in the U.S. on today. The amateur actors of Somali descent from Minneapolis made their film debut acting as Somali pirates. a laconic, New England stoicism, and perhaps itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that style that helped the captain deal with not only sometimes trigger-happy pirates but an anxious, frightened crew. It also works as counterpoint to the equally determined, if more unpredictable and

fiery, Muse, who is wonderfully played by Abdi in his first major acting role.

Ultimately, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain Phillipsâ&#x20AC;? is a test of wills between two men, both of whom just want to make it to another day, get back home, and not turn the Alabama into their tomb.

Predictably, the pirates donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have their back stories filled in as much as Phillips. Somaliaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s de-evolution into the chaos that sparked so many men to take up the gun of piracy could fill several movies.

Yet Greengrass does manage to humanize the pirates without celebrating their actions. Each of the four has a distinct personality, ranging from the impulsive Najee (Faysal Ahmed) to the shy Bilal (Barkhad Abdirahman), who seems torn about what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Captain Phillipsâ&#x20AC;? is also impressive from a technical standpoint, as it moves from the expanse of the high seas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the scenes of the pirates on their small boats storming the massive Alabama are electric â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to the walled-in feeling inside the ship and, finally, the lifeboat.

Greengrass, working from a script by Billy Ray (â&#x20AC;&#x153;State of Play,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Hunger Gamesâ&#x20AC;?), deserves credit for taking a news story and breathing the life of art into it.

Nice young men wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get far in life without table manners Dear Abby, I have acquired two teenage stepsons. They are good young men, mature, responsible, active in community service and good in school and sports.

My challenge is their table manners. They were never taught any.

They use their utensils like shop tools, lifting food using fork and knife together to transfer huge bites from plate to mouth.

They use a bread knife to cut a pancake as if it were a tough steak.

They slouch over the table to get their faces as near the plate as possible, while leaning on the table with one or both elbows.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to place cutlery when setting

nice young men. Their ignorance of table manners could cost them relationships, jobs, and promotions. What to do? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; San Antonio Stepdad

DEARABBY !BIGAIL 6AN "UREN S *EANNE 0HILLIPS COLUMN APPEARS DURING THE WEEK THROUGH 5NIVERSAL 0RESS 3YNDICATE

Dear Stepdad, Your wife may have felt she was teaching her sons more important lessons than table manners; things like character and responsibility. However, you have a point. People do make negative judgments about people who have poor table manners â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it could be detrimental to them in the future.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why you should discuss this with their mother, if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t already, and enlist her help in talking to the boys in a nonconfrontational

the table, and have their napkins in their lap only if a restaurant server discreetly places it there.

Their mother shows no concern about their uncouth manners. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m worried that when they eventually go out into the world, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be perceived as having no class when they are actually

way and explaining your concern. In the interest of your relationship with them, this must not seem like you are critical of them, nor should it turn into an adversarial situation, or it could have a negative impact on your marriage. If it is to succeed, there must be cooperation.

Dear Abby, I am almost 30, and when we have family get-togethers several times per year, it seems like they make a point to leave me out of pictures. My mom and sister lost quite a bit of weight recently, and my brothers and cousin are attractive people. It seems like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to keep the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;fat oneâ&#x20AC;? out of the photo, and it hurts my feelings.

Recently, a cousin came into town and made copies of two excellent pictures of my mom and sister and posted them online. Again, I was not included. What should I do? I am depressive anyway, and these obvious oversights are upsetting me. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Left Out in Tennessee Dear Left Out, Talk with your mother and sister to confirm if what you suspect is happening is true. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible your mother and sister are so proud of their weight loss they want to show it off. (There are ways to pose family members in photographs so their weight isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appar-

ent.) As to the visiting cousin, there may be such a marked change in their appearance that he/ she thought it was worth posting on the Internet.

A problem with depression is that quietly brooding solves nothing, and it often causes people to overeat. Because your depression is chronic, please consider discussing it with your health care provider because interventions are available.

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

MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHURCH

THE POWER OF WORDS

In ancient times, there seemed to be an intimate connection between words and things, or between names and the persons or things being named. For example, in the Genesis account of creation, God creates by mere divine utterance.

He says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let there be light,â&#x20AC;? and there is light. Likewise, when God gives Adam the honor of naming the animals, he is allowing Adam to establish their identity once and for all. Or consider the story in the 27th chapter of Genesis where thinking that Jacob is in fact Esau, Isaac mistakenly gives Esauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firstborn birthright to Jacob. And, even when Isaac realizes the mistake, and sees that he has been tricked, he cannot simply undo what he has said. The utterance of the blessing is the blessing, in the same way that Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s divine utterance created the world. Continuing in the New Testament, we see this strong connection between words and things. In the prologue to the Gospel of John, we are told that â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.â&#x20AC;? (John 1.1) In modern times although we have somehow lost this vital connection to our language, we all know that words are double-edged swords which can heal as well as they can hurt, offering both comfort and solace, as well as pain.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. -R.S.V. Hebrews 4:12

STERLING

New tour to show revitalized downtown Maps, guides will be stationed along route for first day of tour

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com

EXT

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sterling Main Street wants residents to be tourists in their own city.

Starting Saturday, residents can take a self-guided walking tour of 20 historic architectural highlights of downtown Sterling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time Sterling has had such a walking tour in 7 or 8 years, said Sterling Main Street Director Janna Groharing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of buildings that have been restored and renovated,â&#x20AC;? Groharing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought it was a good time to show the revitalization thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been going on downtown.â&#x20AC;?

In addition to the 20 stops on Main Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walking tour, three buildings will be open

to the public and have owners or representatives there to show residents around. Tour maps will be available at the Sterling Farmers Market from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and there will be tour guides along the route as well.

The Royer Home, 401 E. Second St.; the Big Red Church, 311 Second Ave.; and the Masonic Temple, 111 W. Third St., will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

After Saturday, maps will be available at the Sterling Main Street office, 318 First Ave., or the Sauk Valley Area Chamber of Commerce, 211 Locust St. in Sterling.

Tour guides and buildings Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com open to the public will be available only on Saturday, the first Restoration continues on the exterior of the former home of Dr. Moses M. Royer in this file photo.

Meyer: Paying down more than $23M in debts a must SPEND

CONTINUED FROM A1

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

Paying off debts for sewer projects to in turn lower sewer rates was a common request of residents who spoke Thursday. It even drew applause and an â&#x20AC;&#x153;amenâ&#x20AC;? from an audience member the first time it was mentioned.

No feedback was given by public officials.

The next phase in determining how the money is spent will come after a city administrator is hired. A vote on a recommendation is expected from the council Nov. 4, Mayor Jim Burke said.

Several days of advance notice will be given to the public, as well as time for them to weigh in on a course of action regarding the money, Burke said.

In total, the city is expected to receive $29.7 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after legal fees â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from an out-of-court settlement reached last month with its former auditors and bank. Also, it expects about $9.245 million from the sale of Crundwellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assets, Meyer said.

The city faces debts of $8.7 million in money borrowed from its own operating funds and $12.3 million in debt from three outstanding bonds. The bonds cannot be paid off contractually until December 2021, amounting to about $4 million more owed in interest.

Meyer said paying down the debts totaling $23,234,387 are a must.

building projects were listed as options, the finance director said.

Setting up $5 million in general fund reserve, $4 million toward a River Street sewer and road project, and $2 million toward other sewer capital projects were suggestions given by the finance director.

Also, investing in economic development programs was mentioned as a possibility, Meyer said.

Former Commissioner Walter Lohse said he would like to see the money spent on paying down debts to give residents relief in either property taxes or sewer bills, while others called for outright property tax abatements.

Both suggestions present challenges, Meyer said after the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lee County is under a tax cap, and if we lower what we take in, we may not be able to ask for that much again,â&#x20AC;? Meyer said.

In regard to lowering sewer rates, Meyer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can pay back that outstanding debt, but we would have capital projects to tackle that would put that bill right back on citizens.â&#x20AC;?

Projects mentioned included riverfront improvements and renovating or building a new swimming pool. The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Veterans Memorial Pool has been closed for the past dozen years and there is an ongoing movement to renovate it.

A program to issue loans to businesses looking to improve infrastructure to accommodate the disabled was suggested, too.

All suggestions will be considered, Burke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bottom line for the council is to do what is in the best interest of the taxpayers and the community at large,â&#x20AC;? Burke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is our guiding principle.â&#x20AC;?

Burke said the City Council has been under disclosure restraints regarding the Crundwell incident. Questions will not be addressed until everything is â&#x20AC;&#x153;signed, sealed and deliveredâ&#x20AC;?

BAD COMPANY Bears cling to home victory over hapless Giants

BY ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer

BY LARRY BRENNAN lbrennan@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 550

CHICAGO – Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall were simply too much to handle. So was Tim Jennings.

Cutler threw two touchdown passes to Marshall, and Jennings had two of the Chicago Bears’ three interceptions against Eli Manning in a 27-21 victory over the winless New York Giants on Thursday night.

The Bears (4-2) snapped a two-game slide following a 3-0 start. New York is 0-6 for the first time since the 1976 team dropped its first nine, a stunning turn for a franchise that won the Super Bowl 2 years ago.

Cutler and Marshall were in tune early on, connecting for two touchdowns, and Jennings returned an interception 48 yards for a score as Chicago built a 24-14 halftime lead.

The Bears were up by 13 when New York’s Brandon Jacobs ran it in from the 1 in the closing seconds of the third, after Jennings got called for interference against Hakeem Nicks near the goal line.

Jacob Mammosser already owns virtually all of Rock Falls High School’s passing records. By the time the junior is done, he’ll likely be among the state’s all-time leaders.

If Mammosser throws for more than 202 yards tonight, he’ll eclipse 5,000 yards for his career.

The 6-foot, 190-pounder has come a long way since Jacob being named Mammosser the starter 2 Rock Falls years ago as a junior freshman.

“I was really scared jumping from that slow of a game to a lot faster pace,” Mammosser recalled. “The first couple games, I couldn’t keep up.

Then, I adapted. The game has slowed down for me. I see a lot more.”

Mammosser doesn’t feel like a wily, old veteran.

STERLING – The Dixon Dukes and coach Mahmoud Etemadi will get one more chance to figure out how to stop Carlos Gallardo.

The Sterling senior scored with 30 seconds left in the first half on Thursday at Sterling Chevrolet Field at Roscoe Eades Stadium to give the Golden Warriors the lead in what turned into a 4-0 win.

Gallardo also had two goals Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com in the Warriors’ 4-1 win at A.C. Sterling’s Carlos Gallardo splits two Dixon defenders during Bowers on Sept. 24.

Cardinals slugger Matt Adams hits a two-run home run against the Pirates in the bottom of the eighth inning of Game 5 on Wednesday in St. Louis. The Dodgers finished the Braves in four games Monday.

Rested versus tested Cardinals popped corks days after Dodgers advanced

BY R.B. FALLSTROM !0 3PORTS 7RITER

ST. LOUIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Carpets were still drying out from a champagne bath and a few players looked bleary eyed after a workout at Busch Stadium.

A day after advancing, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much time to rest for the St. Louis Cardinals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, it was a great celebration and a lot of fun,â&#x20AC;? reliever John Axford said Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The clubhouse guys, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they even went home.â&#x20AC;?

The Los Angeles Dodgers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have homefield advantage in the NL championship series, but they got a few extra days to savor early postseason success. Zack Greinke was getting ready to go in Game 5, then went on standby, and now he guards

No telling which side will benefit, the team on a roll or the team coming off a break.

As a youth, Kelly was a budding skateboard star with a sponsor.

Stars deliver for Detroit Verlander fires gem, Cabrera belts two-run homer

BY JANIE MCCAULEY !0 "ASEBALL 7RITER

OAKLAND, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justin Verlander pitched another Game 5 gem in Oakland while carrying a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, and Miguel Cabrera homered to lead the Detroit Tigers past the Athletics 3-0 on Thursday night and back into the AL championship series.

Joaquin Benoit retired Seth Smith on a fly ball with two on in the ninth to close out the deciding game of their division series. The Tigers became the first team to reach the ALCS in 3 straight years since the New York Yankees from 1998-2001.

Game 1 is Saturday in Boston. The Tigers went 4-3 against the Red Sox this year. They have never faced each other in the postseason.

Verlander gave up a clean, two-out single to Yoenis Cespedes in the seventh to end his chance at the third nohitter in postseason history. The hit hardly fazed him, however.

On a night he allowed only three baserunners, Verlander made it a postseason-record 30 straight scoreless innings against one team since Coco

Let us hear it AP

The Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Miguel Cabrera hits a two-run home run in the fourth inning of Game 5 of the American League division series against the Athletics on Thursday in Oakland, Calif. The Tigers advanced to the ALCS with a 3-0 win.

Crisp hit a leadoff home run for the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Game 1 last October.

Just 364 days earlier, Verlander tossed a fourhit, 6-0 masterpiece in Game 5 in this very ballpark, a 122-pitch performance for his first career postseason shutout and complete game.

He nearly matched that with a spectacular 111pitch outing in a rematch of his thrilling pitcherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s duel with rookie Sonny Gray in Game 2.

Aching slugger Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the fourth with a drive

into the left-field seats for his first homer since Sept. 17, and just his third extra-base hit in 99 at-bats. That ended a 20-inning scoreless streak by the Tigers at the Coliseum.

Gray danced with danger from the start with stuff not nearly as crisp as just 5 nights before when he matched zeros with the 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner.

This time, Verlander didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a baserunner until Josh Reddick drew a one-out walk in the sixth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the no-hit

bid remained until Cespedesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; single the next inning. The hardest-hit ball was a flyout to the center-field warning track by Stephen Vogt in the sixth.

Verlander struck out 10 in eight innings, giving him 21 Ks in these two starts. He has 43 strikeouts in his four playoff outings against Oakland the past 2 years.

The Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s saw their season end at the hands of Detroit for the third time in as many postseasons, including in a four-game sweep in the 2006 ALCS.

Freed spirit: Noah looks fluid Thibs mum on whether center will play in Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exhibition

BY K.C. JOHNSON Chicago Tribune

RIO DE JANEIRO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Sore groin or not, Joakim Noah had a plan for the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; arrival in Brazil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had my bathing suit under my outfit on the plane, and I went straight to the beach and went for a swim,â&#x20AC;? the free-spirited All-Star center said.

The Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team hotel is across the street from the famous Copacabana Beach, and Noahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s act seemed to foreshadow what was to come.

After missing the first two exhibitions, Noah moved freely and easily through the portion of Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conditioning practice that reporters viewed.

However, neither Noah nor coach Tom Thibodeau would fully commit to Noah playing Saturday against the Wizards, the stated goal last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel better, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still not 100 percent,â&#x20AC;?

Noah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to get to 100 percent before I get out there. Hopefully, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to go Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

Thibodeau has made it clear that Noah must experience contact practices before playing.

The Bulls had one such practice scheduled for Thursday, and another one today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to jump ahead,â&#x20AC;? Thibodeau

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Tracy Abrams celebrates hitting a 3-pointer against Colorado during a second-round game in the NCAA Tournament last March at the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Texas.

Voice lessons for soft-spoken Illini Role of vocal leader open for Bertrand, Abrams

BY DAVID MERCER Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Looking around the practice gym Wednesday, point guard Tracy Abrams said he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet know what kind of team the Illini will be once the season begins next month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no identity right now,â&#x20AC;? the junior said of a roster that includes five freshmen and two transfers who havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet played for the Illini.

Abrams will have a major say in shaping that identity.

Abrams is one of just four players back from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23-13 team, the only one with any serious experience playing the point in college and, according to secondyear coach John Groce, one of the key leaders on a very young team.

Abrams has started 51 games in his two seasons at Illinois, but he has not been vocal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;all know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty quiet,â&#x20AC;? Abrams told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Humble about myself.â&#x20AC;?

A year ago, Abrams was part of a team that opened with three senior starters and a graduate student who sometimes started, too.

That team made a surprise trip to the NCAA tournament, riding the sometimes scorching shooting of Brandon Paul â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of those seniors who moved on. With the Nov. 8 opener against Alabama State less than a month away, expectations are probably not that high this season.

Bertrand watch s 3TERLING GRADUATE Joe Bertrand will begin his FIFTH SEASON AT )LLINOIS FINISHING HIS RECOVERY FROM OFFSEASON SHOULDER surgery. He should be READY FOR START OF SEASON AFTER AVERAGING POINTS AND REBOUNDS last season.

Along with Abrams, fifth-year senior Joseph Bertrand will likely be one key piece. He says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fully recovered from a torn labrum in his right shoulder that required off-season surgery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really, really slow,â&#x20AC;? he said of the healing process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I was ever going to be able to move [the arm] again.â&#x20AC;?

Bertrand is another quiet player Groce is asking to take on a leadership role.

And, after mostly providing a shot off the bench since he arrived at Illinois, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be asked to provide more offense, too.

Abrams and Bertrand â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as well as 6-11 junior center Nnanna Egwu, who started 35 games last season, and transfers Rayvonte Rice and Jon Ekey â&#x20AC;&#x201C; provide the bulk of the experience Illinois can draw on.

Beyond them, some of those five freshmen will have to play, Groce said.

With a roster of just 11 players, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no choice.

But so far, none of them has nailed down a role.

Groce says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to change the way he organizes practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put the brakes on,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many things Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve whacked from the practice plans because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not ready for that. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK. ... Until guys know certain things, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to move on.â&#x20AC;?

Each team had chances for scores in the first half, but good defense and nice plays by Fernandez and his Dixon counterpart Brandon Jagitsch kept the scoreboard empty.

Dixon (0-14-1) looked to be ready to go into half with a minor victory by holding the Warriors scoreless for 40 minutes.

Then Tony Diaz got the ball at midfield and worked it to Gallardo, who did the rest. Gallardo spun around a Dixon defender and fired the shot past Jagitsch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hungry for that goal,â&#x20AC;? Gallardo said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony got the ball on that run,

and I knew if he could get it to me that I was going to score.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;That goal was really big,â&#x20AC;? Sterling coach Brian Cebula said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The longer the game went on tied, the more confidence Dixon was going to get. Getting ahead put the pressure back on them.â&#x20AC;?

Dixon nearly rallied on the first possession of the second half, as Reid Deets had an opportunity in front of the goal. His shot angled just left of the goal and out of bounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had our chances,â&#x20AC;?

Etemadi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reid had some chances. Scott had some chances. Sonny Barratta had a couple chances.

But not every shot is going to go in, and tonight none

of them did. We played very well and played very hard against a good team.â&#x20AC;?

Seven minutes into the half, Sterling (13-2-4, 7-0-1 NIB-12 West) put the match away, as Gallardo connected with Diaz on a long pass that Diaz turned into a goal.

Diaz left the game with about 15 minutes left after a collision at midfield. Cebula said that Diaz likely only had a bruised knee.

Sterling added two more goals. Jorge Garcia scored with 21:45 left in the game on a penalty kick.

Jose Uresti notched the last goal with 11:35 left off an assist by Santana Trujillo.

Sterling finished with 12 shots. Dixon had eight shots.

Illinois wide receiver Ryan Lankford (12) and Nebraska defensive back Andrew Green (11) reach out for the ball during last Saturday’s game in Lincoln, Neb. Lankford has caught only one pass in the last two games.

Needing more ‘me’ for team Illini want Lankford to demand ball

BY CHRIS HINE Chicago Tribune

CHAMPAIGN – There was an unfamiliar sight on the stat sheet after Illinois’ 39-19 loss to Nebraska on Saturday.

Actually, it was an omission – senior receiver Ryan Lankford played, but didn’t make a catch. That hadn’t happened since Nov. 19, 2011, a home game against Wisconsin in his sophomore season.

A combination of unfortunate circumstances created the goose egg – windy conditions, a tough road atmosphere, and Nebraska’s effective pressure on quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase – but in an Illinois offense designed to get the ball in the hands of its playmakers, it was surprising to see Lankford get left out.

It’s an oversight the Illini are working to correct during their off week before Wisconsin visits Champaign for an Oct. 19 game in which Illinois will need Lankford’s electric speed.

“I was trying to do more than I was required to do.

I made it bigger than it really was,” Lankford said.

“It’s still the same game, still the same routes I run every week. I just tried to do too much.”

And ended up with

Lankford file Year: Senior Height/Weight: 6-0/175 Hometown: Jacksonville, Fla. Postion: WR 2013 stats: 11 receptions, 236 yards, 1 TD nothing. Lankford always has been more of a bigplay than big-volume receiver, but offensive coordinator Bill Cubit said he would like to see Lankford be like Bears receiver Brandon Marshall and ask for the ball more.

The goose egg came on the heels of a one-catch day against Miami of Ohio in which Lankford was one of 11 Illini to catch a pass. As much as Cubit might like Lankford to take the reins, that selfishness might not be in his DNA. “I’d love to be that guy, but I don’t need to be that guy,” Lankford said. “I’ve never been a one-manteam kind of guy. … If teams start rolling coverages to protect the deep ball, my catches go down and my teammates reach their goals, then that’s what needs to be done.”

Saturday was a bad day overall for the Illini passing game. Scheelhaase completed 13 of 26 for a season-low 135 yards.

Cutler was 24-for-36 for 262 yards after throwing for 358 against New Orleans last week. Marshall played a huge role in this one after venting over a lack of catches against the Saints, finishing with nine receptions for 87 yards.

Martellus Bennett had 68 yards on six catches against his former team, while Alshon Jeffery had just one reception after going off for a franchiserecord 218 yards in the previous game.

Robbie Gould kicked two field goals, including a 52-yarder in the third quarter that gave him 12 straight conversions from 50 or longer, and the Bears eased at least a few nerves, even if this win came against one of the NFL’s four winless teams.

The Giants came in clinging to the idea that they could claw their way back into the NFC East race because every team in the division has a

Manning, the owner of two championship rings, completed 14 of 26 passes for 239 yards and a touchdown, but he ran

his league-leading total to 15 interceptions while matching last season’s number. He had passes picked off on the first two possessions, with Jennings’ 48-yard TD coming on the second one.

Rueben Randle had 75 yards receiving and a touchdown for New York. Brandon Jacobs, starting for the injured David Wilson, ran for 106 yards and two scores, but the Giants fell yet again.

The Packers’ Mike Neal (left) has worn many hats on the Packers’ defense this season. For the next few games, he’ll try to replace Clay Matthews, who is out with a broken thumb.

Secret is out of bag

Neal stepping into spotlight with Matthews injured

BY TYLER DUNNE Milwaukee Journal Standard

GREEN BAY – In Week 1, he was the Green Bay Packers’ mystery man. A secret weapon.

In Week 6, he needs to be so much more.

A playmaker.

Mike Neal isn’t sure if he’s sneaking up on anyone.

“You know what? It’s best for me to keep myself below the clouds,” Neal said Wednesday.

“I don’t like to get a big head about anything. If I’m a secret weapon to teams, then I’m that.

If they have to scheme against me, then that’s on them.”

Clay Matthews isn’t returning anytime soon. Turns out, surgery was needed on his broken thumb – and it was the team’s call.

Calling it “a medical decision,” Mike McCarthy said Matthews would be out “multiple weeks.”

If it was up to the all-pro linebacker, the coach said, he’d play Sunday. So now, the Packers are counting even more on this defensive tackle turned end

Neal file Age: 26 Height/Weight: 6-3/275 Postion: Linebacker College: Purdue 2013 stats: 11 tackles, 1 sack, 1 INT turned outside linebacker.

Matthews demoralized game plans. He was the player every quarterback, every coordinator needed to identify on a play-toplay basis. Neal believes he can grow into that weapon.

“Yeah, most definitely. Most certainly,” Neal said. “I think that just continued growth at the position and understanding what I have to do and talking with Clay and understanding certain things, I can be that player. But it takes a while.

Nothing is easy.

“By the end of the season I think I’ll be able to do that.”

The Packers hope so. This weekend at Baltimore, Neal will start opposite Nick Perry.

Neal is exceeding expectations – by a long shot. He picked off a pass in a blowout win over Washington. He had six tackles and a sack in Green Bay’s 22-9 win over Detroit last weekend.

Neal said that might have been his best game ever.

With Neal, this has been the intrigue all along – what could be, the unknown. He dropped 25 pounds to play linebacker.

Gym-rat strong, he’s one of the team’s most explosive athletes.

Neal says he might even drop another 5 or 6 pounds to play lighter until Matthews returns.

He also anticipates playing linebacker 75 percent of the time, and being a down lineman about 25 percent of his snaps.

Experimenting is over. The team needs Neal at outside linebacker.

And to think just last spring, Neal stood here at his locker a bit lost. Fresh off 4½ sacks on the defensive line in 2012, he had no clue how this switch would go. There was never

a moment where everything clicked, where he felt he fit in at outside linebacker.

“Never,” Neal said. “To be honest with you, because I never knew I’d be playing this position as much as I have, I think one of the biggest things is being healthy and being able to do what I can do. I was healthy last year, and I provided a little bit of a spark coming off the bench.

“I know the type of football player I am. I don’t care where they put me at. They put me at middle linebacker, just being healthy and being able to play football, I think I can do that.”

That’s the twist of irony. As players drop like flies, Neal stays healthy.

In Matthews, the Packers lose a player with 16 sacks in his last 16 games. The pressure was constant. As defensive coordinator Dom Capers often says, Matthews made the two or three plays that change the complexion of games.

Neal and/or Perry have huge shoes to fill.

play well enough. I didn’t make enough plays.”

Romo did – until the end.

There have been plenty of costly Romo moments for teammates who stand behind the quarterback, even while living with the uneasiness that the latest untimely goof might not be the last.

The chatter outside the locker room isn’t too Romo-friendly, of course.

It’s the same chorus that arose for most of his more recent failures in crucial moments: Do the Cowboys have a championship-caliber quarterback?

“There’s no question it’s been going on a long time,” said fourth-year receiver receiver Dez Bryant, Romo’s top target. “Even when I was in college, you know, I used to hear things. And I always thought Tony was a great quarterback and he still is to this day.

“He’s the leader of our football team. As soon as things go right, everybody will be praising him.”

Guesswork might make plays work

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Our man A.N. Other continues in good form: “Anybody could get rich if he could guess the exact moment at which a piece of junk becomes an antique.”

Any bridge player could get rich if he could work out the exact moment to make an unusual play that is correct.

In this deal, West leads his heart six against three no-trump: jack, king, seven.

East returns the heart three, covered by South’s four.

How should West analyze the position?

North was right to blaze straight into three no-trump.

Presumably, he is putting eight winners down in the dummy. He needs only for partner to be able to win a trick before the defenders

have taken five. Admittedly, here South rates to have club length because he did not show a major or raise diamonds, and five diamonds might make when three

no-trump fails. But do not spend your life looking for that distribution. It will arise only rarely.

If this deal were played in a tournament, almost every declarer would make his contract.

West would automatically take the second trick with his heart eight, cash the heart ace, and find himself stuck on lead after taking the fourth trick with his heart 10. South would win the last nine tricks.

The bidding marks South with at most three hearts because he did not respond one heart. So it cannot hurt West to take the second trick with his heart 10.

Then after cashing the ace, he can continue with his eight, which East can overtake with his nine to cash the five to defeat the contract. © 2013 UFS
