DIXON CITY COUNCIL

City finalizes $40M settlement Mayor: ‘This is an iron-clad agreement’

BY DEREK BARICHELLO dbarichello@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 526

DIXON – The ink was flowing Tuesday at City Hall.

Mayor Jim Burke put his signature to a number of copies of a document finalizing the $40 million out-of-court settle-

ment with its former auditors CliftonLarsonAllen and Janis Card and Associates, as well as its former financial institution, Fifth Third Bank.

Those entities were blamed in the city’s lawsuit for former Comptroller Rita Crundwell’s theft of nearly $54 million in city funds.

The next step is for the civil case against the three entities to be dismissed in Lee County court.

Some members of the public attended Tuesday, but no comments were made during the meeting that lasted about 10 minutes.

The agreement had been placed on file for the past 7 days for public review, and city commissioners did not discuss it any further Tuesday, before giving their approval. Attorney Devon Bruce, who represented the city, was in attendance to

answer any possible questions from the council.

“This is an iron-clad agreement,” the mayor said.

Of the $40 million, $35.15 million was paid by CliftonLarsonAllen, the city’s auditor until 2005, $3.85 million by Fifth Third Bank, which handled the city’s checking accounts, and $1 million by Janis Card and Associates of Sterling, which took over the city’s audits

in 2005 from Clifton until Crundwell’s arrest.

As part of the agreement, the city will file no further lawsuits against the defendants or their representatives.

Payments are expected to be made in full to the city by Dec. 1. The city will pay $10.35 million of the settlement for legal fees.

Pin-up photo on local magazine cover?

Picture causes a stir with some residents

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

OREGON – A cover photo in a local magazine has caused a stir in Oregon.

In the picture, Debbie Dickson, the part-time executive secretary for the Oregon Chamber of Commerce, is sitting on a commemorative rock in front of the Ogle County Courthouse.

Dickson is leaning back slightly with one hand placed on the rock behind her. With her legs crossed, she is wearing a pink skirt that reaches halfway down her thigh when sitting.

The photo appeared in the Oregon Living Magazine, which Sauk Valley Media distributes twice a year in Ogle County.

In the fall-winter edition, which came out last month, the magazine profiled Dick-

This photo of Debbie Dickson, part-time executive secretary for the Oregon Chamber of Commerce, sitting on a commemorative rock in front of the Ogle County Courthouse, has created some controversy in Oregon. Some local residents thought the photo that ran on the cover of Sauk Valley Media’s Oregon Living Magazine was a bit too racy. son, who took her position with the chamber last July.

In late September, former Ogle County Board member Lynne Kilker wrote a letter to the editor of Ogle County

Newspapers, which operates under Sauk Valley Media’s umbrella.

“I looked inside the magazine to see the article,” Kilker wrote. “The following are the

BUSINESS ......... A13 COMICS ............. A12 CROSSWORD....B13

DEAR ABBY ......... A8 LIFESTYLE ........... A8 LOTTERY ............. A2

closing words: ‘I’m always saying to people: Look at this! Did you know that our community has this and it’s awesome!’

“Is that comment referencing our courthouse or is it referencing the ‘cheerleader’ in the provocative pose?” Kilker said.

She also wrote that the “pinup” photo might have been better if it had been taken elsewhere in the community, rather than doing a “cheap shot” at the courthouse, which represents all Ogle County citizens.

Kilker, 76, a former chamber director, has taken her complaint to chamber board members and raised the issue at an Oregon City Council meeting, asking who is responsible for it.

“She is sitting there in a provocative, pin-up-style pose, with way too much leg showing, not only on the cover, but inside the magazine,” Kilker said in an interview Tuesday.

“It irritates me.”

DIXON – A Nativity scene on the lawn of the Old Lee County Courthouse was called into question last year.

In November, the Lee County Board will vote on a resolution setting guidelines for courthouse displays, which mainly focuses on the size and location of displays and not the content.

Board member John Nicholson, chairman of the Properties Committee, said the county could either ban all displays on the courthouse lawn or allow all displays with guidelines.

“We want to design it so people can display things on the courthouse lawn because it is public property,” he said. “But we want to set parameters.”

Among those parameters are size, position, and to make sure displays don’t get in the way of maintenance and landscaping or negatively affect the integrity of the lawn, Nicholson said.

As part of the resolution, which was on the board’s Oct. 15 agenda but was moved to November, residents wanting to put a display on the courthouse lawn would have to apply for a permit.

According to a draft of the resolution: “The decision to issue a permit for use of the courthouse grounds will be made on a nondiscriminatory basis and will not be based on the religious or political content of the activity, display or exhibit.”

Dickson gets calls of support, flowers PHOTO

CONTINUED FROM A1

A current County Board member, Marcia Heuer, 66, who is a friend of Kilker, suggested at a board committee meeting last week that the county get a copyright for all county buildings, requiring permission to publish photos in the future. She was responding to the Living photo.

In an interview Tuesday, Heuer, a former chamber director, said the photo doesn’t offend her personally, but that many people have told her the photo of Dickson wasn’t “appropriate in its juxtaposition with the courthouse.�

According to the American Society of Media

Photographers, buildings constructed before Dec. 1, 1990, have no copyright protection. Younger buildings have a photographer’s exception.

The courthouse was built in 1891.

Since Kilker’s letter appeared, others have written letters to the editor in opposition. “How degrading and demeaning to refer to our Chamber of Commerce [secretary’s] photos as ‘provocative’ and as a ‘pin-up’ when it is absolutely no such thing,� Beth Henderson of White Pines Inn and Eagle’s Nest. “I am furious that Ms. Kilker can be so vicious and cruel.�

Oregon resident Richard Gribbins wrote that he didn’t find the photo provocative.

“The cover did get me to inquire about membership in the Oregon Chamber of Commerce, so in that sense a positive result was achieved,� he said.

In an interview Tuesday, Dickson said she was embarrassed and blindsided by the controversy.

She said she agreed to an interview because the story was positive publicity for Oregon. “I am not the kind of person who likes to have her picture taken,� said Dickson, who works three jobs. “I kind of prefer to fly under the radar. But with friendly persistence from your folks’ end, I agreed.�

Dickson, 55, who runs the chamber’s day-to-day operations, said she followed the lead of a pho-

tographer from Sauk Valley Media. “The photographer had some ideas for photos.

I did what he told me to do,� she said.

She said Kilker has not contacted her about the issue. “It is very embarrassing to me,� she said. “It makes me literally, physically ill. I’m shaking as I talk with you.�

But she said many have expressed support. “I have had dozens of people approach me at all of my jobs. They say how ridiculous this is. I have had calls of support, flowers sent to me,� said Dickson, who has lived in town for more than 30 years. “It’s unfortunate that Ms. Kilker has the viewpoint that she does. It feels like a personal attack.�

Barring a delay or issue with the final elements of the purchase, Arellano

The Rock Falls location could allow for some deliveries into Sterling, potentially to an area including CGH Medical Center and Sterling High School, Arellano told Sauk Valley Media in August.

OBITUARIES Kathleen A. Dieterle SAN ANTONIO – Kathleen A. Dieterle, 62, of San Antonio, died Tuesday, Sept. 24, 2013, after a long battle with cancer. She fought to the bitter end with grace, courage, dignity, and a lot of humor, more concerned about those she left behind.

Kathleen was born March 10, 1951, at KSB Hospital in Dixon. A 1969 graduate of Newman Central Catholic High School in Sterling, Kathleen pursued her lifelong dream of following her mother in becoming a nurse. In 1972, Kathleen secured her registered nursing degree from SwedishAmerican Nursing School in Rockford.

Upon graduation, Kathleen moved to San Antonio as one of the first nurses helping to open the new Audie Murphy Memorial Hospital. After 6 years as a floor nurse, she transferred to the surgical operating room.

Through hard work and gaining the respect of her peers, Kathleen was elevated to the position of primary lead nurse in charge of all heart procedures. She spent 39 years caring for the veterans she immensely respected and appreciated. Her maternal grandfather, Charles Vogelsang, was a World War I veteran.

She is survived by her parents, Mary A. (Vogelsang) and Aloysius J. Dieterle Sr.; three brothers and six sisters, William (Norma) Dieterle and Helen (Frank) Kappmeyer, both of San Antonio, Donna (Gary) Robbins of La Vernia, Texas, Carol Dieterle Bardin of Morris, Okla., Mary (John) Rahm of Versailles, Ohio, Julia (Charley) Kashou of Mequon, Wis., and Daryl Dieterle, Cheryl Dieterle

Gardner, and Aloysius (Becky) Dieterle Jr., all of Sterling; five uncles and aunts; 18 nieces and nephews; and numerous great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Earnest M. and Helen (Vock) Dieterle; her maternal grandparents, Charles and Lucile (Bartel) Vogelsang; and her very special aunt, Helen Barel, “Auntie.�

The rosary will be recited at 5 p.m., followed by a gathering until 7 p.m., Thursday at McDonald Funeral Home, 505 First Ave., in Sterling. A gathering will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Friday, followed by the Memorial Mass of Christian Burial at 10:30 a.m. Friday at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Sterling, with the Rev. Bruce Ludeke officiating. After the Mass, there will be a luncheon in the parish hall, and inurnment will be afterward at Sacred Heart Catholic Cemetery in Sterling.

Kathleen established a memorial scholarship that will assist graduates of Newman Central Catholic High School who are pursuing a degree in medicine. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to The Kathleen A. Dieterle Memorial Scholarship Tuition Fund at Newman Central Catholic High School, 1101 W. 23rd St., Sterling, IL 61081; or, donations may be made to Home of Hope of the Rock River Valley, 1637 Plock Road, Dixon, IL 61021, that offers support for cancer victims and their family.

City Hall phone system broken Some messages for officials lost

BY DEREK BARICHELLO DBARICHELLO SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON – Those leaving messages for Dixon officials will not have to wait for the beep.

The portion of Dixon’s phone system that controls voice messages has failed, said Police C h i e f Danny D a n n y Langloss Langloss, a special assistant to the City Council. This affects all city buildings, including City Hall, Dixon Police and Dixon Fire.

As a result, the city has lost a number of phone messages left with city officials this past week, meaning those who left voice messages may want to check to make sure they were received.

The system is outdated, so much so that the parts are no longer

available to repair it, Langloss said.

The city will start looking for a new phone system, but the process could take time, he said.

The city will research available systems and possibly put them out to bid, subject to City Council approval. “These systems are not cheap,� Langloss said. “We want to do our due diligence, but it could take some time.�

That means unanswered direct-line calls will not go to voice mail. If that happens, call the main number 815-288-1485 to leave a message with City Hall staff, instead of using the voice mail system.

Those messages will then be passed along the old-fashioned way.

Call 815-288-4411 for Dixon Police and 815288-3323 for Dixon Fire to leave messages if direct line calls there go unanswered.

Questions will not be addressed until settlement is final SETTLEMENT

CONTINUED FROM A1

Officials will be allowed to answer questions about the Crundwell theft, if they wish, once the case is dismissed.

Burke, at Thursday’s town hall meeting to discuss the settlement money, said that the City Council has been under disclosure restraints regarding the Crundwell incident.

Questions will not be addressed until everything is “signed, sealed and delivered� involving all parties, he said.

No discussion took place about budgeting the settlement money.

That is expected to take place during the city’s strategic planning sessions, once an administrator is hired.

Also, the City Council met in executive session to discuss the possible

employment of a job candidate.

The city is expected to announce the name of its final candidate for city administrator

by Oct. 25, after a full background check is conducted, said Police Chief Danny Langloss, a special assistant to the council.

A meet and greet could be scheduled for Oct. 30 or Oct. 31 for the candidate to take questions from the public.

The City Council will vote on the candidate recommendation at its Nov. 4 meeting.

Commissioners must approve the hire for it to be final.

A final candidate was selected in the city’s pursuit to hire a city administrator by a committee led by Langloss, in which commissioners Jeff Kuhn and Dennis Considine participated. The candidate met with city staff last week.

Vote on resolution moved to November DISPLAYS

CONTINUED FROM A1

A vote on the resolution was pushed to November because the most recent draft didn’t have some permit details finalized, including the fee, how long it is valid, how far in advance an application must be submitted, and the square footage allowed per display.

Nicholson said there were “very few� people objecting to the Nativity scene last year, but in accordance with the

First Amendment, anyone should be allowed to apply for a permit for a display. “You can say, ‘You can’t put the Nativity scene up. You can’t put the menorah up.

You can’t put anything up,’� Nicholson said. “[We] didn’t want to do that.�

The resolution, which would take effect immediately if approved in November, will ensure that the parameters for a Nativity scene would be the same for any other display – religious or not – he said.

CASTING A LINE AT THE CANAL

What do the kids think?

D

IXON – The city is serious about taking everyone’s suggestions for budgeting the $40 million settlement from its former auditors and bank it blamed for the Rita Crundwell theft.

Not only those who attended last week’s town hall meeting or those who send letters to City Hall will be considered; so will children.

Yes, kids, this is your chance to get into the conversation.

At Thursday’s town hall meeting, someone who works closely with the city shared his child’s idea in jest.

He said his son, after overhearing Dad and Mom talk about the settlement, interrupted by saying he knew what Dixon should do with the money. “Build the world’s largest go-kart track.�

Those who overheard were struck with the cuteness of the idea and curious about what other children might say.

What is it the children of Dixon want?

Would they suggest the money be spent on popular projects in the works, such as the restoration of Veterans Memorial Pool or go in a different direction?

Police Chief Danny Langloss, a special assistant to the City Council, said the suggestions could be considered when commissioners and city staff meet for strategic planning.

The best suggestions could make their way back into my column and put into the ongoing discussion of how the money should be spent.

Call it crazy, but it

reminds me of the presidential poll conducted by publisher Scholastic in schools across the nation.

Since 1940, the results of the student vote have mirrored the outcome of the general election all but twice: In 1948, kids voted for Thomas E. Dewey over Harry S. Truman, and even a newspaper headline had that one reversed at first. In 1960, more students voted for Richard M. Nixon than for John F. Kennedy.

Maybe Dixon children’s suggestions will reflect something similar for commissioners and give them a window to their parents’ thoughts.

Several of the same faces show up at meetings and voice their opinions, but what does the silent majority think of what’s transpired? And what should be done?

Also, these suggestions could bring up new ideas that have not been considered. Don’t underestimate a child’s level of creativity.

If nothing else, it gives children a lesson in civic participation, Bradshaw said.

But the public will be fairly certain that the newly elected governor and lieutenant governor, aka “lite guv,� should get along.

THE READER’S VOICE

Shutdown’s effects hurt many people BETH FIORINI Rock Falls and AMY ADAMS Sterling

Beyond being frustrated with Congress, area residents may not realize the local impact a shutdown of the federal government. Members of the Whiteside County Healthier Communities Partnership would like to remind area residents that government services make a real difference for our families, friends and neighbors.

For example, Whiteside County has a great deal

of poverty, and many people are dependent upon government services. According to the 2011 American Community Survey, 32.4 percent of Whiteside County residents are below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. That translates into an income less than $43,568 for a family of four. The per capital income for Whiteside County is $22,956, significantly lower than the Illinois average of $29,376.

Another contributing factor to poverty is the number of wage earners in a family. The percent of children ages 0-17 years living in a singleparent family in Whiteside is 32.7 percent,

compared to Illinois at 6.1 percent.

Many valuable local services are at risk if a government shutdown lasts more than a few days. Infants on the WIC Program (Women, Infant and Children) will lose formula, and pregnant women will lose the nutritious food necessary for a healthy baby.

Our domestic violence shelter could close, leaving the most vulnerable victims with no safe place to go. Social Security and Medicare are federal programs; our parents and grandparents will lose the checks that enable them to eat and pay for medical treatment.

Once the Center for

Disease Control loses funding, infectious diseases will not be tracked, leaving our school children and the entire population at risk.

The Whiteside County Healthier Communities Partnership urges everyone to contact local legislators, urge them to end the shutdown, and prevent the disasters that could so easily affect people we all know and care about.

Note to readers: Beth Fiorini is the Whiteside County Public Health administrator, and Amy Adams is the Community That Cares project coordinator. They are co-presidents of the Whiteside County Healthier Communities Partnership.

Attorneys for Gov. Pat Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have filed paperwork with the state Supreme Court asking the court to hear a direct appeal of the fight over Quinn’s decision to eliminate legislative salaries from the state budget.

A Cook County judge already ruled against Quinn, saying the constitutional prohibition against changing legislative salaries mid-term applies to decreases as well as increases. Quinn argued the prohibition applied only to increases.

Rather than delay a final decision any longer by going to the appellate court, both sides are seeking to go directly to the high court.

Interestingly, Quinn cited instances where lawmakers decreased their own salaries by imposing furlough days on themselves.

In their response, lawyers for Madigan and Cullerton said the governor’s “constitutional argument in this is contrived� when it came to saying only increases are barred.

Still, they asked the court to take the case because the controversy between the legislature and governor “has attracted some notoriety.�

$URKIN S TEAM Newly elected House Republican Leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs announced his leadership team last week.

It doesn’t look a whole lot different from the leadership team put together

by Tom Cross, the former leader who stepped aside to run for state treasurer.

House Republicans are allotted nine leadership positions, ranging from deputy leaders to caucus chair. Of those nine people named by Durkin, six held leadership posts under Cross. One of Cross’ assistant leaders was Durkin, so that left a vacancy that needed to be filled.

For those worried about such things, we’ll look at how the new leadership team voted on pension reform. Remember, the House never got the chance to vote on the union-backed plan. However, it did get to vote on the plan backed by Madigan, which saved a lot of money but imposed changes to pensions that critics said were too onerous and unconstitutional.

Anyway, of the nine people on Durkin’s leadership team, just three

voted for the Madigan pension plan. The six others voted against it. Durkin also voted in favor of the plan.

It probably means nothing, especially since it doesn’t appear lawmakers will face another vote on pension reform in the near future. But if anyone was concerned that Durkin would load up his leadership posts with pension zealots inclined to squeeze retirement benefits, it didn’t happen.

/BERWEIS MIGHT CHALLENGE $URBIN State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-Sugar Grove, is considering a run against U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, a Springfield Democrat.

More exciting news is hard to imagine.

Oberweis told the Illinois Review last week State Sen. that he is Jim Oberweis about 90 Republican percent sure might he’ll make challenge the run. He veteran Democratic said he’ll U.S. Sen. Dick be making Durbin the decision shortly.

Gosh, and this after Oberweis finally won an election last year. He ran for the U.S. Senate in 2002 and 2004 and lost the primary both times. He ran for governor in 2006.

Same result.

In 2008, he switched gears and ran to fill the seat vacated by former U.S. Rep. Dennis Hastert.

Lo and behold, Oberweis won the primary but lost the general election.

He finally achieved electoral success in 2012 by winning a state Senate seat. He even got a significant bill passed – raising the speed limit on Illinois interstate highways to 70 mph. It’s now state law.

Now it looks like he has his sights set once again on the U.S. Senate. Good luck with that.

The good thing for Oberweis is that he has a 4-year term, so even if history repeats itself again, he’ll have a job in state government.

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Crews work to assess statue

Near the edge: House plan fails; now up to Senate Thursday marks deadline for Treasury default

Black Hawk results expected back in about a month

BY VINDE WELLS 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

OREGON – It will likely be a month before the results of testing on Ogle County’s best-known landmark are available.

Structural engineer Aldo De La Haza said late last week that it will take some time to make threedimensional drawings of the Black Hawk Statue and to analyze the data collected during 4 days of testing.

The iconic statue, which is under the authority of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, sits on a high bluff at Lowden State Park northeast of Oregon.

De La Haza, who works for the Dynasty Group of Chicago, and other experts spent most of last week examining the 102-year-old concrete statue and doing nondestructive testing to determine what needs to be done to repair and preserve the statue, which has been damaged by the ravages of time and weather. “It would be a shame not to preserve this statue,�

De La Haza said.

IN BRIEF

3-D model of the statue.

The testing, which also included ground-penetrating radar work and ultrasonic tomography, was finished Oct. 11.

The statue has developed cracks, and large pieces of its concrete surface have dislodged. The folded arms of the 50-foot monolith have been especially affected.

The cost for the assessment and repairs has been estimated at $625,000.

More than half the money for the project came from a $350,000 grant the IDNR received from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

The rest came from donations, as well as funds raised during the annual Oregon Trail Days festival held at Lowden Park since 2010.

A large contributor was the Jeffris Family Foundation, Janesville, Wis., which gave a $150,000 matching grant.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1911, as a tribute to all Native Americans and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the statue is located on a 125-foot bluff overlooking the Rock River. It draws thousands of visitors each year.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Time growing desperately short, Senate leaders took command of efforts to avert a Treasury default and end the partial government shutdown Tuesday night after a last big attempt by House Republicans abruptly collapsed.

Aides to both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, expressed revived optimism about chances for a swift agreement – by Wednesday at the latest – that could pass both houses. Their efforts toward a bipartisan resolution had seemed likely to bear fruit a day earlier before House conservative were given a lastminute chance for their version.

As hours ticked down toward Thursday’s Treasury deadline, the likeliest compromise included renewed authority for the Treasury to borrow through early February and the government to reopen at least until midJanuary.

While a day of secret meetings and frenzied maneuvering unfolded in all corners of the Capitol, Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., stood on the Senate floor at midafternoon and declared, “We are 33 hours away from becoming a deadbeat nation, not paying its bills to its own people and other creditors.�

In New York, the stock market dropped, and the Fitch rating agency warned that it was reviewing the government’s AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade, though no action was near. The firm, one of the three leading U.S. credit-ratings agencies, said that “the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a U.S. default.�

According to Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew,

‘‘

We are 33 hours away from becoming a deadbeat nation, not paying its bills to its own people and other creditors.

’’

Sen. Barbara Mikulski, D-Md.

unless Congress acts by Thursday, the government will lose its ability to borrow and will be required to meet its obligations relying only on cash on hand and incoming tax receipts.

President Barack Obama and numerous other officials in government and finance have warned of severe economic consequences if federal obligations come due that can’t be paid.

By all accounts, though, an end seems near for the impasse that has once again exposed a government so divided that it sometimes borders on dysfunction. Though the House failed to muster sufficient support for a conservatives-only bill in the GOP-majority chamber on Tuesday, enough Republicans there seem likely to join House Democrats to approve a bipartisan version if it can be approved by the Senate and sent to them.

Politically, neither party is faring well, but polls indicate Republicans are bearing the brunt of public unhappiness as survey after survey shows their approval ratings plunging.

There was no indication Tuesday night of the terms of a possible deal under discussion by Reid and McConnell, although the contours of an agreement had already come into shape on Monday, before what amounted to a daylong detour to give Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans time to craft their solution.

Sexually active teens must be responsible Dear Abby: My 17-yearold daughter confided that she has become sexually involved with her boyfriend and asked if I would buy condoms for her. I agreed that she should protect herself and bought her a box of 12.

A week later, she informed me that she needed another 12-pack.

When I asked why she had run out so quickly, she confessed that she has been supplying them to her girlfriends. Apparently they can’t confide in

to be the one supplying a group of kids. On the other hand, if I can help to prevent an unwanted pregnancy, maybe it’s worth it. What do you think I should do? – Safe Sex Advocate in Illinois

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

their moms the way she can with me.

My dilemma is that condoms are expensive and, on one hand, I don’t want

Dear Safe Sex Advocate: If your daughter’s friends are old enough to be sexually active, they and their boyfriends should also be responsible enough to provide their own birth control. Generally, teens

do not need the permission of their parents to receive information about it. Because you want to help them avoid unwanted pregnancies (as well as STDs), direct them to the nearest Planned Parenthood Center for low-cost or no-cost birth control and instruction on how to use it. There are 18 of these health centers in Illinois. To find the one closest to you, visit plannedparenthood.org.

Dear Abby: I work at a

senior retirement community, and the residents have a Halloween party each year. In the past, there were prizes for the three best costumes.

However, last year they stopped giving prizes because one of the residents is a professional artist and costume maker, and the association felt it would be unfair to the others to have him compete.

This year it was decided not to hold the contest at all. The residents are dis-

appointed. How can they continue to have the costume contest and include the professional? – Dressed Up in Louisiana Dear Dressed Up: Ask the artist/costume designer to be the judge.

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

Hot dogs taste like heaven Eatery draws foodies from near and far

BY CARYN ROUSSEAU Associated Press

C

HICAGO – Doug Sohn has made an art of the traditional Chicagostyle hot dog, replete with mustard, onions, pickle relish, dill spear, tomatoes, celery salt, and sport peppers. (No ketchup!)

But if you stop your order there, you’ll miss much of the joy of eating at his Hot Doug’s restaurant on the city’s northwest side. Because what really draws the crowds – and foodies from afar – is Sohn’s menu filled with rare sausages curated to offer up spicy and sweet, ethnic and American, and all served for about $10 or less.

It’s what earns Hot Doug’s the title “The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium.� Things like smoked and spicy alligator sausage with crayfish etoufee mayonnaise and smoked blue cheese drizzled with honey; or apple, pear, and port wine elk sausage with cherryapricot mustard, double cream brie and pate de campagne; or even red mole turkey sausage with chipotle Dijonnaise, queso asadero, and fried tortillas.

Sohn has a rotating stockpile of about 100 recipes he’s created and gets his meats from about dozen sausage makers. He says he knew he hit it big when the sausage companies started coming to him.

So there are two menus, the basic hot dogs, Polish sausages, bratwursts, and corn dogs. That menu doesn’t change, though the names of the dishes do. For example, a hot link is now known as an Anna Kendrick (previously Britney Spears, Jennifer Garner, or Keira Knightley).

The other menu lists the gourmet dogs, and it changes week-to-week, based on inventory, and has about a dozen dogs on it. “There are new ones coming on and off the board all the time,� Sohn said recently.

He also serves fries made in rendered duck

Controlling the hunger sensation

BY SHERRY DeWALT #'( -EDICAL #ENTER

BEYONDTRIM

W

hether you call it starved, famished, or ravenous, most of us know what it feels like to be really hungry. Your stomach is growling, you might feel a little dizzy or lightheaded, you have trouble concentrating, and may even experience a headache or stomachache.

You must eat to sustain life, and hunger is the way that your body naturally prompts you to seek food, but extreme hunger

Don’t skip meals

3HERRY $E7ALT IS A COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATOR AT #'( -EDICAL #ENTER IN 3TERLING 2EACH HER AT 3$E7AL CGHMC COM

can be disastrous for those of us who are trying to watch our weight.

How do you avoid reaching that state that has you reaching for whatever food is at hand?

This seems like a nobrainer, but skipping meals is one of the best ways to guarantee binging later. Breakfast is important, but so is lunch, and supper, and a snack or two if you need them. Eating regular meals keeps your metabolism humming along and keeps extreme hunger in check.

Have protein with each meal It takes your body longer to digest protein.

Include a little protein with each meal to keep you satisfied longer and help to control blood sugar spikes. Meat and beans are good sources.

For breakfast it might mean an egg, some Greek yogurt, peanut butter on your toast, or a handful of nuts in your oatmeal.

Fill up on fiber; limit sweets and refined carbs We need carbohydrates for energy, but the wrong kind can spike blood sugar. What

goes up quickly most assuredly comes down quickly and leaves us feeling weak, tired, and yes, hungry. Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your meals and choose whole, unprocessed grain foods. The fiber in these foods keeps them moving through your system more slowly.

Stay hydrated Some people can mistake thirst for hunger and reach for something to eat when what they really need is fluids.

Water is a great choice because it is basically free – of cost, calories (from sugar – see refined carbohydrates above), and chemical additives. Unsweetened tea and coffee are other good choices.

Keep healthy snacks handy One of my mottos is “Never go anywhere without food.� Prepare for longer periods between meals by bringing a bag of nuts, some trail mix, or unsweetened cereal.

IN THE KITCHEN

Easy as 1, 2, 3 Cheddar, tomato, and egg add up to easy, filling meal

BY ANDREA MILLS AMILLS SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

It’s not often someone watching their calories gets to indulge in two slices of bread. This recipe offers that opportunity without the guilt.

Cheddar, tomato, and egg sandwiches are filling and tasty. Making them was similar to a toastedcheese sandwich, as was the dilemma of how to tell when one side was lightly browned. Fortunately, this recipe timed that process.

With homegrown tomatoes available in the summer and early fall, the sandwiches can only get better.

Preparation presented little problem for me unless you count the cloud of cooking spray I created in the kitchen while coating the bread. That was more “butter� than I’ve had near me in 6 months.

Making the sandwiches: 1. Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat.

Coat pan with cooking spray. Break 1 egg into a

over each egg; top each with 2 tablespoons cheese and a bread slice.

3. Coat both sides of sandwiches with cooking spray. Place sandwiches in pan; cook over mediumhigh heat 3 minutes on each side or until bread is toasted and cheese melts.

Serve immediately.

The recipe adjusts easily to serving less or more than four.

Healing may be in order for contract

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Jim Boren was a humorist and writer on “bureaucratese,” in which he poked fun at what he called “the vacuumental thinking and idiotoxicities of Washington.” He said, “I got the bill for my surgery.

Now I know why those doctors were wearing masks.”

Some bridge players would benefit from being allowed access to a bridge doctor, who would explain how to keep a contract alive.

In this deal, South is in three no-trump. West leads a low club and East puts up his jack. How should South plan the play? What would the doctor recommend?

In the auction, South considered rebidding three diamonds to show his six-card suit and game-invitational

values. But he had two solid club stoppers and knew that usually nine tricks are easier to win than 11.

(Note that five diamonds goes down, declarer losing

one spade and two hearts.)

South seems to have nine top tricks: one spade, six diamonds and two clubs. However, that lead is annoying because it has cut declarer’s communication with the dummy. If he takes the first trick and cashes dummy’s diamonds, he cannot get back to his hand. What would a doctor do?

The only chance is to duck the first trick, letting East win with his jack. If he does what most players would do, he will lead back a club. This allows South to win with his king and cash the ace, discarding both of dummy’s annoying diamonds. After that, South takes his six diamond tricks and dummy’s spade ace to cruise home.

Then West might suggest that East’s brain could do with some medical attention. © 2013 UFS

ing cheerleading, drill team, concert band, and marching band. She was also an honor student, sophomore class secretary, and served on the school’s newspaper staff.

She had moved to Florida in 1986 to pursue a career as a travel agent.

She was headed to a friend’s home on May 24, 1986, when she made a wrong turn and stopped at a gas station across from the Crystal River City Hall to call her friend for directions.

It was there that Happ,

AP

Chris Crowley (center), brother of Angie Crowley who was raped and murdered by William Happ in 1986, talks with the media following the execution of William Happ Tuesday at the Florida State Correctional facility near Starke, Fla. Happ was the first inmate to be put to death using the drug midazolam hydrochloride. who had an extensive criminal background, kidnapped her and then raped and strangled her before leaving her body in a canal.

He was convicted in 1989 by a Florida jury and sentenced to death.

Chris and his late mother, Judy, were the main contacts for updates on the Happ case following Happ’s conviction in July 1989. They waited as Happ filed numerous appeals.

Chris set up an online petition asking Florida Governor Rick Scott to sign the death warrant and also emailed the governor and his staff asking for the declaration. He said it was something he promised his mother he would do at the time of her death 5 years ago.

“My mom told me to stay on top of this, and I did,” Chris said. “I still miss my sister a whole

lot, but this was like an open wound. Now when I look at both their graves I can be at peace.

Now it’s all over.”

Angie and her mother share a headstone at Daysville Cemetery, east of Oregon.

Happ expressed remorse for his actions before given the injection.

“To my agonizing shame, I must confess to the crime,” he said.

“I wish to offer my most sincere, heartfelt apology. I have prayed for the good Lord to forgive me for my sins. But I understand why those here cannot.”

The words didn’t mean much to Chris.

“The apology, for what it’s worth, I personally think that’s more for himself than anything,” he said, adding that he doesn’t forgive Happ.

“He needs to ask someone a lot more impor-

tant than me for forgiveness.”

The Crowley family also gave a statement afterward.

“We have lost a vibrant young lady with dark blue eyes and an infectious smile. With this loss we will no longer experience her great sense of humor, her laughter and her loving and caring personality,” Chris said while surrounded by family and friends. “Our loss is also your loss. You have lost the possibility of meeting such a special person.”

The randomness of the crime has left questions in Crowley’s mind.

“The only thing I would like to know is why, and I don’t expect to find out,” Crowley said. “I have a lot of hatred for the man.

A lot of hatred.”

After Florida Gov. Rick Scott signed Happ’s death warrant on Sept.

10, Happ told a judge he did not want any lawyers filing appeals for him.

Happ was calm Tuesday when he met with two spiritual advisers, including a Roman Catholic priest who administered last rites, according to Department of Corrections spokeswoman Jessica Cary.

For his last meal, Happ had a 12-ounce box of assorted chocolates and 1½ quarts of German chocolate ice cream.

Happ was the first person to be executed under a new mix of drugs Florida is using for lethal injections. It appeared Happ remained conscious longer and made more body movements after losing consciousness than other people executed recently by lethal injection under the old formula.

Good until the last set Comets put away Steamers in third

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 554

STERLING – For two sets, the Newman Comets and Fulton Steamers battled back and forth, fighting tooth and nail. Fulton rallied late for a first-set win, and the Comets returned the favor to take the second.

But in the third set, Newman coach Debbi Kelly seemed to push all the right buttons, and the Comets kept their spot atop the Three Rivers North standings with a 24-26, 28-26, 25-13 victory Tuesday night over the Steamers in Sterling.

COMBINATION LOCKED There’s no breaking up Sterling team of Steinke, Shank

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

Sterling juniors Allie Shank and Grace Steinke have been together on the tennis court since they were freshmen, and they quite literally wouldn’t have it any other way.

Shank and Steinke are the Golden Warriors’ No. 1 doubles team in their first year on the varsity squad.

They teamed for the fresh-soph Northern Illinois Big 12 doubles title as freshmen, then got second as sophomores, only because they were in a hurry for homecoming.

Shank and Steinke by the numbers As freshmen: Won Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference fresh-soph doubles title As sophomores: Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference fresh-soph doubles runners-up As juniors: 14-12 as No. 1 varsity doubles team At least that’s their story.

This season, Shank and Steinke stepped right in and earned the No. 1 doubles spot.

They are 14-12 on the season, and have

helped Sterling to a 9-6 dual record and three invitational championships.

“I watched them play as freshmen, and when they won conference, especially as inexperienced as Allie was, I thought, ‘Wow. We’ve got a good team here that we can groom,’” Warriors coach Kelly Reynolds said.

Shank, Steinke and company will compete Friday at the Rock Island Sectional.

None of this year’s team members have played in a sectional.

Shank and Steinke have been together so long, they don’t want to be apart.

ROCK FALLS – The thing about turning points is that it’s almost impossible to see them coming.

Take Tuesday’s volleyball match between Rock Falls and Byron, for example.

“We just didn’t come out with the same intensity in the secStar of the match: Bailey ond set,” O’Brien said. “It’s O’Brien, Rock Falls, 8 kills, something that we have to learn 5 digs, 3 aces that we can’t do.”

Illinois defensive back Eaton Spence (27) dives at Nebraska running back Imani Cross on Oct. 5 in Lincoln, Neb. The Cornhuskers rushed for 335 yards, a bad sign as Illinois prepares for Wisconsin.

No surprises On paper, Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game looks like a nightmare for Illinois.

Here comes Wisconsin, with its potent rushing attack that averages a Big Ten-best 298.1 yards.

Meanwhile, Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense allows nearly 200 rushing yards per game, and was gashed

by Nebraska its last time out, Oct. 5, for 335.

So this meeting wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be much of a chess match. Illinois knows the Badgers will run the ball a lot, but how will the Illini stop them?

With a young defensive line short on depth, there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a magic solution. All the Illini can do,

No. 25 Wisconsin at Illinois Where: -EMORIAL 3TADIUM #HAMPAIGN When: P M TV: "IG 4EN .ETWORK Line: "ADGERS BY Â&#x17E; Over/under: coach Tim Beckman said, is keep working on fundamentals, correct what went wrong against Nebraska, and hope for the best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With the youth and players that are playing for us, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go through some growing pains,â&#x20AC;? Beckman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has not been about effort. It has not been about lack of assignments or missed assignments. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more about just not making the plays.â&#x20AC;?

All is not hopeless for Illinois. Defensive

linemen Teko Powell and Vontrell Williams are back at practice as they recover from foot injuries. Powell is on track to play Saturday and should boost a fledgling front four, while Williamsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; status is murkier.

And looking at last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wisconsin game, Illinois â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for all of its struggles in the Big Ten â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was down only 10-7 on the road against the eventual Big Ten champion Badgers heading into the fourth quarter before Wisconsin ended

up pulling away.

Whatever happens Saturday, coupled with the 60-minute learning experience of the 39-19 loss at Nebraska, will benefit the Illini down the road, Beckman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, with the depth that we have and the players that we have, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re building this defense, especially for the future,â&#x20AC;? Beckman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to put those players in those positions, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who we have now and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who we have to believe in.â&#x20AC;?

The Illini practiced Sunday night to help adjust to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7 p.m. kickoff, Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first night game this season.

NBA preseason

Looking to hit tough stretch running Weisman returns at crucial time as No. 4 Ohio State looms

BY LUKE MEREDITH !0 3PORTS 7RITER

IOWA CITY, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An accommodating schedule and perfectly placed bye week put Iowa in position for a good start.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to become more difficult for the Hawkeyes.

Iowa (4-2, 1-1 Big Ten) will finish 2013 against opponents who are a combined 25-11, with nearly half of those losses coming from Purdue.

The Hawkeyes lost every game they played in the second half of 2012, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident the strides theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made will help them avoid another collapse.

They kick off a grueling stretch Saturday at No. 4 Ohio State (6-0, 2-0). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a better defensive team than we were a year ago, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say the same thing about our offense,â&#x20AC;?

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything is more cohesive today than it was a year ago.â&#x20AC;?

Injuries were one of the biggest reasons Iowa finished last season on a six-game losing streak, and the Hawkeyes saw a number of players go down in a 26-14 loss to Michigan State on Oct. 5.

This time, it appears as if last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bye gave everyone enough time to get healthy.

Iowa tight end C.J. Fiedorowicz (86) catches a touchdown pass in front of Michigan State safety Kurtis Drummond on Oct. 5 in Iowa City, Iowa. The Spartans forced the Hawkeyes out of their comfort zone by stonewalling the run.

Iowa at No. 4 Ohio State When: P M Where: /HIO 3TADIUM TV: !"# Line: /HIO 3TATE BY Â&#x17E; Over/under: Running back Mark Weisman was among a half-dozen starters who missed time in the loss to the Spartans with various bumps and bruises. Weisman, who is third in the Big Ten with 104 yards rushing per game, was limited to just 9 yards against Michigan State because of a foot injury. He is expected to start on Saturday.

Wide receiver Kevonte Martin-Manley, defensive

linemen Dominic Alvis and Carl Davis, linebacker Christian Kirksey, and offensive tackle Brandon Scherff also have been listed as starters this week after missing snaps during the Michigan State game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would have been in a little bit of trouble if we would have played [last] Saturday,â&#x20AC;? Ferentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fortunately, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.â&#x20AC;?

Michigan Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

top-ranked rushing defense took away Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to do anything on the ground, forcing the run-heavy Hawkeyes to throw the ball 46 times.

Though Jake Rudock did throw a pair of touchdown passes for a brief 14-10 lead, Michigan State made Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense one-dimensional and shut it out in the second half.

Ohio State is nearly as strong on defense as the Spartans. The Buckeyes are 24th in the country at 19.2 points allowed per game, despite a secondary thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been leaky at times.

Coincidentally, it was a match against Byron earlier this season that Mammosser points to as the turning point for her Rockets (18-13, 8-2 Big Northern West).

Rock Falls played at Byron on Sept. 18, earning a 25-15, 22-25, 25-14 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That match at Byron, we played about as well as we had all season,â&#x20AC;? Mammosser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We followed that with a tournament in Chicago that weekend. I think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where some of the team building started to happen.â&#x20AC;?

The Rockets, who were 4-6 going into the first match, have gone 14-7 since and are tied for first with Oregon and Mendota in the Big Northern West.

Rock Falls plays at Oregon on Thursday and finishes off regular-season play next Thursday at Stillman Valley.

The win Tuesday over Byron keeps them on pace with the Hawks and Trojans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was actually really worried about this match,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It

Coach really pushes us, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting to pay off.â&#x20AC;?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien had eight kills, five digs, four service

points and three aces.

Two of those kills came in the third set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been our most reliable hitter this season,â&#x20AC;? Mammosser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But, I think Dallas Clevenger played phenomenally tonight. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really playing with a lot confidence. The whole group

has been a lot more confident.â&#x20AC;?

Clevenger had 10 kills.

Chelsi Blair had 22 assists and five digs, while Kaylyn Booker had 12 digs.

Drew Bernhard had eight of her nine kills in the second set for Byron.

As a team, the Tigers had two kills in the first set.

Comets focus on key words in victory SET

CONTINUED FROM B1

Newman (16-8, 10-1) came out hot in the decisive set, as Aubree Schmitt nailed three kills in the first five points to stake the Comets to a lead they would never relinquish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before every match, [assistant coach Andrew] Olson gives us a word of the day; today, he gave us three,â&#x20AC;? said Schmitt, who led Newman with 12 kills and also served six points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were fun, energy, and prove, meaning prove ourselves that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of the top teams in the conference. The first set, we did none of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we have the mentality to never give up, and once we got rid of those jitters and nerves early on, we got on a roll and just kept going.â&#x20AC;?

Neither team led by more than five in the first set, and Fulton (6-15, 5-7) faced set point at 24-23 before two Rachael Beiermann kills sandwiched an Averi Leitzen ace to rally for the victory.

The second set was more of the same, as long rallies highlighted another set in which Newman led by four on two separate occasions before finding itself down 26-25 following a Camerin Huizenga kill. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really felt like we were right where we wanted to be the first two sets,â&#x20AC;? Beiermann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were fun sets to be

The Comets won in three sets. a part of, and there were a lot of exciting rallies â&#x20AC;Ś although when you get the point at the end of them, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a lot better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give up, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let the ball drop without fighting for it, and really competed with a good team at their level.â&#x20AC;?

The Steamers lost their chance to close out the win when the Comets matched Fultonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firstset comeback. Megan Rosengren ripped backto-back kills, and Schmitt hammered another to erase match point and force a final set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helps to get that momentum going into the third set,â&#x20AC;? said Rosengren, who had nine kills, two blocks and six points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We expect teams to come out hard against us, and Fulton did that tonight.

But we finally realized how bad we wanted this win,

and our offense got a lot smoother, thanks to some good passing there toward the end.â&#x20AC;?

The third set was all Comets. After Schmittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early onslaught, Bree de Long (9 kills, 6 points, 2 aces), Julie Hurd (5 points, 4 kills, 8 digs) and Rachel Humphreys (4 kills) got into the act at the net.

Fulton never managed to score more than two consecutive points in the entire set, and Rosengren finished things out with five kills and a block in the final 10 points.

It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big guns that played pivotal roles, however. Every Comet who stepped on the court provided a spark. Baleigh Osborne had two kills and a point, Allie Harkness served two key points late in each of the second and third sets, and libero Sara Nysather

and defensive specialist Sarah Trujillo set the tone in the back row with nine digs each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone took advantage of the opportunities they got to play tonight,â&#x20AC;? de Long said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have so many girls who just want to get in and make a difference, and we had a lot of the right girls in the right places at the right times tonight.â&#x20AC;?

Allison Shipman and Kayci Howell both dished 21 assists, with Shipman serving nine points and Howell chipping in four kills and four points.

Chelsea Lesniewski led all hitters with 15 kills for the Steamers, while Beiermann finished with 14 assists, eight kills and seven points. Leitzen had 18 digs, Jamie Huennekens added 13 digs, 10 points and three aces, and Olivia Edfors had 12 assists, nine digs and seven points. Betsy Leonard had six kills and three blocks for Fulton, but it was the defense that let the Steamers down in the latter stages of the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just lost our defense, and never picked up their hitters at the end,â&#x20AC;? coach Stacy Germann said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played smart the first two sets, then we tried to finish the match with only our offense and no defense.

When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re only onesided against a team like Newman, which finished strong in both areas, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to work out too well for you.â&#x20AC;?

ill George is the man many credit, along with George â&#x20AC;&#x153;Papa Bearâ&#x20AC;? Halas, for inventing the middle linebacker position. He played from 1952-1965, and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1974.

Upon the 75th anniversary of the National Football League, Dick Butkus was voted by his peers as the greatest defensive player of all time. He played for the Bears from 1965-1973, and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1979.

Mike Singletary is best known for his eyes, and as being one of the most intense players in the history of the game. He played for the Bears from 1981-1992, and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame in 1998.

Brian Urlacher is recognized by many as the greatest athlete ever to play the middle linebacker position, and he is the presence that still looms over that position. He played it for the Bears from 2000-12, and will likely be inducted into the Hall of Fame in either 2018 or 2019.

Jon Bostic: what have you gotten yourself into, son? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of stuff Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still learning each and every day,â&#x20AC;? said Bostic, who will start Sunday for the injured D.J. Williams.

Bostic isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be compared to the other â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mikeâ&#x20AC;? backers playing today, and he wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be judged by how productive and effective the Bears defense is with him in the middle.

For as long as Bostic is the middle linebacker

for the Bears, he will be judged by how he stacks up to that legacy, and there might be little short of a Hall of Fame career of his own that will allow him to be considered successful.

Is that fair? Of course not. But it is the way it is.

Consider his Monday interview. There is a podium in the media room at Halas Hall, and one in the interview room at Soldier Field.

It is reserved for head coaches, quarterbacks, captains and stars.

If memory serves me right, the only Bears to ascend the podiums this year have been Marc Trestman, Jay Cutler, Lance Briggs, Matt Forte, Peanut Tillman, Brandon Marshall, Martellus Bennett, Earl Bennett and James Anderson.

Earl Bennett only got there by making the key touchdown catch against the Steelers, and James Anderson had an important charitable cause to pitch.

When Kyle Long and Jordan Mills moved into the starting lineup, there were no podium appearances.

The media caught them coming off the field.

For Bostic, it was the podium.

When I caught Bostic briefly on his way out of the press room, he was much more interested in discussing how his alma mater will do catching Missouri this weekend without their starting quarterback than he was the challenge in front of him.

The 22-year-old rookie out of Florida does at least seem relatively calm about the

whole thing, and is setting some pretty realistic goals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want there to be any dropoff from D.J. to me,â&#x20AC;? Bostic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to prepare the best I can, and just go out there and do my best.â&#x20AC;?

No one knew George, Butkus, Singletary and Urlacher would be the players they became when they moved into the starting lineup.

Interestingly, while Butkus and Urlacher were both top-10 draft picks, George and Singletary were both second rounders like Bostic.

Whether heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever earn other comparisons to any of the players heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s following is uncertain, but that he will be measured by them, unfair as it is, is guaranteed.

Chicago rookie Jon Bostic will inevitably be compared to the best to roam the middle for the Bears.

GREEN BAY, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Green Bay Packersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; injury list keeps on growing.

Coach Mike McCarthy knew about the injuries sustained by wide receivers Randall Cobb and James Jones during Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory at Baltimore.

But he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t learn until Monday morning that starting outside linebacker Nick Perry had suffered a foot injury that will sideline him at least for this week, and likely longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick Perry was a bit of a surprise to me. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect that,â&#x20AC;? McCarthy said the day after his team overcame injuries in a 19-17 victory over the Ravens.

McCarthy, per his custom, would not divulge any specifics of the injuries.

Perryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury was termed a â&#x20AC;&#x153;footâ&#x20AC;? injury, Jonesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;legâ&#x20AC;? injury and Cobbâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a â&#x20AC;&#x153;kneeâ&#x20AC;? injury.

McCarthy said Jones had a chance of playing Sunday against Cleveland at Lambeau Field, but he ruled Perry out, and also said Cobb would miss â&#x20AC;&#x153;multiple weeksâ&#x20AC;? while refusing to elaborate.

Cobb was later placed in the injured reserve with designatation to return, meaning he must miss six games. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand your need and desire to report on it, but we also have a football team to manage and decisions to make, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s part of those decisions,â&#x20AC;?

McCarthy said.

The Packers were already playing without four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Clay Matthews, who suffered a broken thumb against Detroit on Oct. 6 that was expected to sideline him for a month.

SAN MARTIN, Calif. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kevin Tway is the latest son of a major champion to earn a spot on the PGA Tour, and he already is getting attention as a rookie.

Just not for the reasons one might think.

It has nothing to do with his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight PGA Tour wins, or even that famous bunker shot at Inverness that Bob Tway holed for birdie to beat Greg Norman in the 1986 PGA Championship. Not that the son has forgotten. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I even put â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;past championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out,â&#x20AC;? Tway said with a laugh.

He was referring to the letter he sent the Las Vegas tournament director asking for a sponsor exemption, which is hard to come by these days. Tway received an exemption for the Frys. com Open, but not for Las Vegas. He tried to qualify Monday for one of four spots and lost in a playoff.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing is that Tway even needs an exemption.

The PGA Tour this year eliminated Q-school as a route to the big leagues, leaning instead on the Web.com Tour as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;primary pathway to the PGA Tour.â&#x20AC;? Tway won a Web.

$ Kevin Tway will be a rookie on the PGA Tour in 2014, but because of new rules, he might find his access to tournaments limited. He is the son of former touring pro Bob Tway.

Up next What: Shriners Hospitals for Childen Open Where: Las Vegas When: Thursday-Sunday TV: Golf Channel com Tour event, made the cut in 14 of his 18 tournaments and had four top 10s to finish No. 5 on the money list.

The top 25 are assured tour cards.

But this path to the PGA Tour comes with a catch.

What follows the regular season are four additional tournaments â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Web. com Tour Finals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that determine where the rookies and returning tour members are seeded

going into the new season.

The higher the seed, the more likely a player gets into a tournament.

Tway had little to gain, plenty to lose. He missed two cuts, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish higher than a tie for 52nd in the other two and now canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into tourneys.

Instead of being seeded No. 9, he plunged to No. 46 out of 50 players.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another reminder that getting a PGA Tour card and getting a chance to play are not always the same. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worse is that these 50 players will be seeded again at the end of the six tournaments this fall â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except that only the top half is assured of getting into the tournaments.

Here we go again Cards seize another 3-1 NLCS advantage

Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Napoli hits a home run in the seventh inning of the Red Soxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-0 victory over the Tigers on Tuesday in Detroit, giving Boston a 2-1 ALCS lead.

Napoli, pen nail down nail-biter Third one-run affair gives Sox 2-1 edge

BY NOAH TRISTER !0 "ASEBALL 7RITER

DETROIT â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Once again this October, one run was enough.

John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitchingrich playoffs, and Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bullpen shut down Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the AL championship series.

Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chance to rally fell short in the eighth, when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The runs are pretty stingy,â&#x20AC;? Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about in postseason, is good pitching.â&#x20AC;?

Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail a best-of-seven series they seemed to control just 2 days ago. Game 4 is tonight at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister.

Lackey allowed four hits in 6 2/3 innings, striking out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think that little time off gave him a chance to slow down a little bit. He was excited and pumped that first inning,â&#x20AC;? Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of getting excited with his slider, throwing a little too hard and leaving it over the middle, but he was still pretty effective.â&#x20AC;?

It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been the theme throughout these play-

offs, which have included four 1-0 scores and seven shutouts in the first 26 games.

After rallying from a fiverun deficit to even the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed with a single.

But Cabrera, who failed to reach base for the first time in 32 postseason games for the Tigers, never looked comfortable against Junichi Tazawa, swinging and missing at the first two offerings and eventually chasing an outside pitch for strike three. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just did a great job pumping the fastballs away,â&#x20AC;? Saltalamacchia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so sneaky with that 94-95 [mph]. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to hit.â&#x20AC;?

Fielder was even more overmatched against Koji Uehara, striking out on three pitches.

Uehara also pitched the ninth for a save, ensuring that Lackeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine performance wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go to waste.

Lackey pitched poorly his first two seasons in Boston after signing an $82.5 million, 5-year contract in December 2009. Then he missed all of 2012 following elbow ligament-replacement surgery.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been better this season, and he kept the Tigers off balance Tuesday by effectively changing speeds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just never gave in,â&#x20AC;?

Saltalamacchia said.

Napoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first at-bat in the majors was against Verlander on May 4, 2006, at Comerica Park. He homered then, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough. He was on his game tonight. He was keeping all of us off balance,â&#x20AC;? said Napoli, who rubbed his bat on teammate Jonny Gomesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beard before going up to the plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I got to a 3-2 count and put a good swing on a pitch, was able to drive it.â&#x20AC;?

LOS ANGELES â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thanks to two big swings and some excellent defense, the St. Louis Cardinals are one win from the World Series.

Just like last year.

Matt Holliday and pinch-hitter Shane Robinson connected for the first home runs of the NL championship series, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 4-2 to take a 3-1 lead in their best-ofseven playoff.

Of course, St. Louis had a 3-1 lead in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NLCS before dropping three straight to San Francisco, the eventual World Series champion.

It was a painful defeat for the Dodgers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in more ways than one.

Star shortstop Hanley Ramirez, playing with a broken left rib, left in the middle of the sixth after striking out three times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It got worse as we went along,â&#x20AC;? manager Don Mattingly said.

St. Louis third baseman David Freese came out after six innings. He left Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with a cramp in his right calf.

Hitless in his previous 22 at-bats at Dodger Stadium, Holliday sent a tworun shot off Ricky Nolasco an estimated 426 feet to left field, capping a threerun third that gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead.

Seeking a second title in 3 years, St. Louis turned three important double plays and picked off a runner at second base in the seventh. Defensive standout Pete Kozma, inserted at shortstop in the sixth, started a difficult double play and darted in to complete the pickoff.

Second baseman Matt Carpenter also keyed St. Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sharp work with the gloves, one night after some sloppy play was costly in a 3-0 defeat.

Carpenter had an RBI double in the third that scored David Descalso, who hit a leadoff single.

Cardinals second baseman Matt Carpenter reacts after turning a double play to end the sixth inning of Game 4 of the NLCS against the Dodgers on Tuesday in Los Angeles. The Cardinals won 4-2 to take a 3-1 lead in the series.

Game 5 (3 p.m. today, TBS/95.7 FM) #ARDINALS *OE +ELLY AT :ACK 'REINKE

on Hollidayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer after there were none in the first three games for the first time in NLCS history.

Carlos Martinez pitched two scoreless innings in relief of winner Lance Lynn. Trevor Rosenthal got three outs for his second save in the series.

After a leadoff single by Andre Ethier in the ninth, Yasiel Puig grounded into a double play. Juan Uribe struck out to end it.

Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home run bounced off the top of the wall in left field on a

1-0 pitch from J.P. Howell with one out in the seventh, extending the Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lead to 4-2.

Lynn allowed two runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked three.

Nolasco, who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pitched since Sept. 29, allowed three runs and three hits in four innings.

Los Angeles scored twice in the fourth to cut it to 3-2. Adrian Gonzalez hit a leadoff double and scored on Puigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single. A.J. Ellis singled to drive in Andre

Ethier, who walked.

Just when it appeared the Dodgers had grabbed the momentum, pinchhitter Skip Schumaker bounced into an inningending double play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of the best thought I have is, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one of the best pitchers in baseball pitching tomorrow,â&#x20AC;? Mattingly said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we come out here and play well tomorrow and get a win, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably got the best pitcher in baseball pitching the next day.â&#x20AC;?

Sharp shoots Hawks to win Chicago wins its 2,500th game

BY JOEDY MCCREARY !0 3PORTS 7RITER

RALEIGH, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Patrick Sharp always seems to leave Raleigh with some souvenirs for his family.

Sharp scored in the shootout after scoring his 200th career goal, helping the Chicago Blackhawks claim the 2,500th regular-season victory in club history with a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night.

In one of his last visits here, he earned a car for being selected as MVP of the 2011 AllStar game, and gave it to his brother.

His parents get the puck from the milestone goal. The stick and puck from the shootout are gifts for his new daughter, Sadie, who was born Sunday night.

Star of the game: 0ATRICK 3HARP "LACK hawks, 2 goals Up next: "LUES AT "LACKHAWKS P M Thursday TV: #3. &3. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good building,â&#x20AC;? Sharp quipped.

For Sharp, sure. But not for the Blackhawks â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won at PNC Arena until this one.

The defending Stanley Cup champions sure looked well on their way to an easy win early when Sharp and Marian Hossa scored 2:22 apart in the first period. But that 2-0 lead slipped away in the third before their third straight victory came in the tiebreaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a win on the road any day of the week,â&#x20AC;? coach Joel Quenneville said.
