PROPHETSTOWN

Students take their stand High-schoolers not backing off on views over confederate flag

PROPHETSTOWN – On Friday afternoon, fresh off his latest in-school suspension for wearing clothing bearing the Confederate flag, Prophetstown High School sophomore Chris Kulla said wearing his Southern pride on his sleeve hasn’t bothered any fellow students.

Others would disagree.

Dontae Johnson, a 16-year-old junior

The Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico school board will meet at 7 p.m. today at the district office, 79 Grove St., Prophetstown.

Johnson has a math class with Kulla, and said he’s told him that his words and actions are offensive, but that the behavior persists. He said he also has told Principal Joshua Johnson, who has given Kulla at least 10 suspensions, in Kulla’s estimation. Kulla also admitted to yelling at the administrator, which earned him a halfday out-of-school suspension.

“We’re a stubborn family,” Kulla said Friday. “We don’t listen too well.”

The Big Red

renovation Congregation takes on project to make God’s glory more glorious

STERLING – The First Congregational Church in Sterling has been around for more than 100 years, and Pastor Jeff Coester wants to make sure it’s around for another century.

To do that, members of the church have recently embarked on a major renovation of the church, which was built in the late 1800s.

Dedicated in 1898, the church at 311 Second Ave., nicknamed The Big Red Church, was listed on The National Register of Historic RENOVATION CONTINUED ON A4 Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Red Cross goes door to door to save lives Volunteers pass out fire safety tips, information on free smoke detectors

ROCK FALLS – Rock Falls resident Dylan Parvin said he never checked his smoke detectors when he moved to his residence about a year ago.

That changed after Jan. 13, when a devastating fire at 414

Lori Compton, a program specialist with the American Red Cross, puts an informational door hanger on a home Saturday in Rock Falls.

Second Ave. claimed the lives of five members of the Hopkins family, only a block away from Parvin.

“After that happened, I made sure to double-check and make sure I had new batteries to make sure they were in good working order,” said Parvin, 28, who lives off Third Street.

The past is his future Curator helps keep local history alive

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

STERLING – Go figure: A guy from the big city of Rockford is the keeper of Sterling’s deepest, most interesting secrets.

Well, to be fair, Terry Buckaloo has lived in Dixon since 1980, when he moved there to farm the family homestead.

He’s the curator of the SterlingRock Falls Historical Society, a position he’s held 27 years.

“Time goes fast,” he said, laughing.

He and his wife, Julie, were married in 1981, and have two Labrador retrievers and a cat.

While he’s not sure how long, exactly, he’ll stay in his role with the society, he can give you a ballpark figure.

“Until I retire. Let’s just say that,” he said.

Q&A | TERRY BUCKALOO

LIFESTYLE ........... A7 LOTTERY ............. A2 OBITUARIES ........ A4

OPINION .............. A6 POLICE ................ A2 STATE ................ A10

How did you get your start with the historical society?

Actually, they lost their previous curator, and they ran an ad in the paper. I’d gone back to school in historic administration to do museum work when my granddad died and I took over the farm. It was a parttime job when I started, and as we’ve acquired more property – like the Lincoln Manahan Home and adjoining property – my job became full-time.

Tell me about the changes you’ve seen since you’ve been there. It’s a whole different society – pun intended – now, isn’t it?

Oh, yes. When I started, we didn’t have any computers. Now all of our index is computerized, which makes information that much more accessible. The society has grown – not greatly in size, but it has grown. Since we started the Lincoln Manahan Home in 2006, it’s greatly increased the visibility of the society.. We now operate two museums. Our main one is behind the Dillon Home in the carriage house. The Lincoln Manahan Home is open May 1 through Nov. 1.

And now we’re planning on building the Lincoln Learning Center on adjoining property, where we can have our own building for all kinds of activities.

That’s where you’ll really be able to engage kids. That’s got to be a huge goal: to hook them when they’re young and show them how neat history is.

That actually was the main driving force behind the Lincoln Manahan Home. With the connection to Lincoln, and Lincoln being so wellknown – every kid knows Abraham Lincoln – you can get them interested in history.

Initiative’s goal: Reduce fire-related deaths DETECTORS

of fire safety,� Compton said. “We want people to be prepared in the event of a fire. This fire was very devastating to the community, so we want to make sure people in the area are better prepared when something like that happens.�

Parvin, who received a brief visit from the Red Cross, appreciated their efforts. “I think what they are doing is awesome, especially for the ones who are less fortunate and can’t afford to do that type of thing,� said Parvin, who lives with his girlfriend Amber, 25. “People may not have the money to buy a smoke detectors and I think it’s nice they are going out of their way to help people.�

Lucy and Rick Shepard, 64 and 67, also live on Third Street in Rock Falls, near the Hopkins home.

Their son, Jerry Shepard, 47, who was visiting his parents Saturday, said the fire shocked the neighborhood. “The neighborhood has been pretty quiet since the fire,� he said. “I checked the smoke detectors right away to make sure they were working. It was an eye-opener for me.�

Jerry also said he appreciates what the Red Cross is doing. “I think what they are doing is nice,� he said. “We will definitely be taking advantage because this is a good thing. I wish everyone could have working alarms in their homes. They are life-savers.�

CONTINUED FROM A1

Parvin wasn’t the only one doing some doublechecking; American Red Cross volunteers were out in force Saturday, doing some double-checking of their own.

About a dozen volunteers from the Northwest Illinois Chapter of the American Red Cross were going door to door, putting up informational door hangers in the neighborhood near the site of the fire.

In the aftermath of the blaze that killed Patrick and Mary Hopkins, three of their five children – Maggie, Donovan, and Katie Jo – and three dogs, neighboring residents received instructions on how to make an appointment to have free smoke detectors delivered and even installed in their homes.

The volunteers also provided fire prevention and safety information while making their rounds.

The volunteers will return in the spring to install the detectors, said Lori Compton, a program specialist with the Red Cross. The installations are part of the organization’s national Home Fire Preparedness Campaign.

The goal of the initiative is to reduce the number of home fire deaths and injuries by 25 percent over the next 5 years. The Red Cross says smoke detectors reduce by half the chance of dying in a fire. “We want to make the community more aware

The Red Cross asks everyone to take two simple steps to help prevent injury and death during a fire in their home: 1. Check their smoke alarms 2. Practice fire drills at home.

Every household should develop a fire escape plan and practice it several times a year and at different times of the day. The plan should include two ways to get out of every room and a place to meet outside.

Consider escape ladders for sleeping areas or homes on the second floor or above.

People should also install smoke alarms on every level of the home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. The alarms should be tested every month and the batteries replaced at least once a year.

There are several other things families and individuals can do to increase their chances of surviving a fire: • If someone doesn’t have smoke alarms, install them. At a minimum, put one on every level of the home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. • If someone does have alarms, test them today. If they don’t work, replace them. • Make sure everyone in the family knows how to get out of every room and how to get out of the home in less than 2 minutes. • Practice that plan. What’s the household’s escape time?

For more information, visit the Red Cross at redcross.org/il/rockford or follow the Red Cross on Twitter: @RedCrossNWIL.

How to help the Hopkins Donations still are being taken for the Hopkins family.

Two GoFundMe campaigns have raised slightly more than $44,000 so far.

DIXON HIGH SCHOOL

December Student of the Month: Shannon Lahey

S

hannon Lahey, 18, of Dixon, is Dixon High School’s December Student of the Month. She is the daughter of Mike and Danielle Lahey, and she has two siblings, Sean, 15, and Shea, 12.

Favorite class: AP Spanish, because even though I do so much work in that class, it is still lots of fun, useful, and enjoyable, thanks to Mrs. Wendy Fitzanko.

Least-favorite class: AP calculus. I’m still trying to figure out why I took it.

Favorite teacher: Brandon Woodward, history and psychology classes, because he not only is a relatable, caring, and funny guy, but he also is an outstanding track coach. He goes above and beyond for his students, and especially for our track team, making sure everyone gets individual attention and feels a part of something bigger than themselves. He recognizes your potential and makes sure you reach it.

School activities: Cross country, dance team, track and field, National Honor Society, and Student Council; and I also write for the school paper and the yearbook.

Civic, church, volun-

What is your favorite ...

App? Retail Me Not Food? Cereal Game or activity: Rolle Bolle Actor? Jennifer Lawrence Movie:?“The Wizard of Oz” TV show? Anything on the Food Network.

Sports team? Anything Notre Dame and Chicago, but Cubs over White Sox, of course.

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Shannon Lahey, 18, of Dixon, is Dixon High School’s December Student of the Month. She plans to major in marketing, double minor in communications and Spanish, and get into the advertising field. teer or other activities: I volunteer for the Rock River Valley Shamrock Club, and I was also Pinky the Petunia for the 2015 Dixon Petunia Festival.

Do you have a job? I work at Arthur’s Garden Deli. I’m lucky to have such a good high school job that works with my busy schedule very well and has allowed me to make some really great friends.

What will you do after high school? Although I am not 100 percent sure where I would like

to go yet, I know I want to major in marketing, double minor in communications and Spanish, and get into the advertising field. I also would like to continue my track career.

What is something you learned in high school that you think you will never use? Any math past fifth grade.

What kind of music are you listening to? Hiphop/rap. Anything that gets me pumped up to participate in life.

Do you have a hobby?

Sleeping, stuffing my

STATE ROUTE 26

face, and cooking.

Is there a celebrity whom you look like/act like/feel like? Beyoncé, because we are both flawless, and it is impossible to not dance to her music.

What’s the one thing in your life you can’t do without? Coffee, the $10 rack at Charlotte Russe, and all of my loved ones.

What is your advice for surviving high school?

Have a really great support group behind you, whether that be your friends, family, or coworkers. High school

is full of stressful learning experiences, and if you don’t have people to pick you up when you are down, or lift you up when you’re feeling on top of the world, the whole experience won’t be as enjoyable.

What scares you?

Paranormal things, because they could possibly attack you, and you wouldn’t be able to fight back because they’re ghosts. It is unfair, really.

What’s something about you that nobody knows? I used to play the guitar when I was little.

If you could ask President Obama any question, what would it be?

Can you please pay for my college?

If you could try any job

for a day, what would it be? Food critic.

If you could go anywhere in the world for free, where would it be?

I would want to go to Ireland because my family is very Irish, and I’ve always wanted to see the rolling green hills.

What is the last good book you read? Honestly, I don’t read all that much. I’m sorry to disappoint.

What is your proudest moment? My proudest moment is when my 4x400 meter relay broke the school record sophomore year at state and ended up placing ninth overall.

Who is your hero/role model? My parents, because they are everything I want to be when I’m older: loving, successful, hilarious, fun-loving, and virtually wrinkle-free.

Is there anything else you would want people to know about you? A good laugh a day keeps the sad clouds away.

Is there someone you’d like to send a shout out to? To my family, the Jones Clan, and my boyfriend Connor Sperling who pushes me to do better in school so I can beat him in class rank.

(He’s sixth and I’m seventh).

Church hopes to have renovations done by March RENOVATION

To donate

CONTINUED FROM A1

“The purpose of the remodel is to take good care of the building,” Coester said. “For more than 100 years, people have taken good care of it and we want to continue that tradition. We want to continue to take care of the facility for God’s glory.”

The majority of the renovation is taking place in the giant church sanctuary. About 50 members of the congregation have been working to sand and stain floors, replace the carpet and update the platforms in the church.

“The platforms have gotten out of style and the floors were very dirty and needed refurbishing,” Coester said. “We have stripped the carpet, stripped the floors and refinished the floors.”

The church members have also added a lift for handicapped parishioners, put in new exterior railing, and refurbished the handicapped area.

The renovation also includes rebuilding the steps to the church, making them wider to help better accommodate church events, such as weddings.

“We believe there will never be a building like this in our lifetime,” Coester said. “We want to protect the historical integrity of the building.

Our goal is to maintain its beauty.”

The project got underway Dec. 27 and the goal is to have everything completed by early March.

The project has a price tag of about $15,000, which is no small piece of change, but back when the church was first built, 15 grand went a lot further. In fact, according the church’s website, when plans for the church were drawn

up more than 100 years ago, the estimated cost to build it was $15,000 (the final cost was nearly $25,000).

To keep renovation costs down, Coester said about 50 of the 125 members of the congregation have been helping with the work.

“Most of the money for this project has come from donors from outside the church who love the church,” Coester said.

“The cost is essentially

who has been a member of the church since 1959.

“The carpet was redone in the late 1960s, but the floors have never been done.”

The basic structure of the building has not changed over the years, other than the addition of an education building in 1959 and the replacement of the original sanctuary windows.

The education building, which is where Coester’s office is located, is also where church services are being held until the work is completed.

Once this project is complete, the hope is to update the stained glass windows in the sanctuary.

The plan is to replace the 60 stain glass windows, which will cost between $125,000 and $130,000.

Donations are needed to complete that portion of the renovation.

“We want to do that project in phases as the money comes in,” Coester said. “We want to do what we can, when we can. That project will probably start in late spring.”

Rueben Arnold, 37 and his wife Jessica, 35, have been coming to the church for 3 years, and they were happy to help out with the renovations Saturday afternoon.

“I enjoy this because this is my church and my family goes here,” Rueben said. “I want this to be presentable and I want it to be the best church it can be.”

Student’s tolerance pushed to the limit FLAG

CONTINUED FROM A1

“At that point, it’s you taking yourself away from your education, not anyone else taking you away from it,” Dontae said.

“And you’re taking education away from the rest of us.”

Whether to ban the apparel bearing the flag depends on the interpretation of the school’s dress code, found under the discipline section in the student handbook: “Language or emblems on clothing that promote or advertise intoxicants, alcohol, tobacco, chew, sexually transmitted diseases, violence, racism, hatred, discrimination, satanic practices, corpses, gang affiliation, or contain profanity or sexual innuendo are not permissible. … Students shall not wear clothing or practice grooming which is unsafe, unsanitary, distracting or offensive to others, or destructive to property. … Items may be confiscated and may not be returned. …

Students should demonstrate good judgment in what they wear.”

Following a recent runin with Principal Johnson for wearing clothes bearing the flag, Kulla showed up for the next math class with mini-flags in his pocket and proceeded to wave them, Dontae said.

The school’s Remove from Class policy, also in the handbook, states: “Teachers in Prophetstown-LyndonTampico C.U.S.D. #3 shall have the authority to remove students from their classroom who are disruptive or act in a manner that is detrimental to the aca-

demic atmosphere of the classroom environment.”

“Chris is an attentionseeker – very much so,” Dontae said. “When he doesn’t get his way, that’s when he tends to lash out and act ignorant. I told Mr. Johnson I don’t have a problem with the flag. I can tolerate it. But if he’s going to act ignorant with it and start doing kindergarten stuff, I have a problem with that.”

Dontae’s classmate and best friend since preschool, Kanyon Crady, 17, said he’s seen Kulla use the Confederate flag to antagonize his friend many times.

“It’s a symbol of hate that’s offensive to people,” Crady said.

“If I were to wear a shirt to our school saying ‘Black Pride’ or a ‘Black Panthers’ shirt, that would be a huge deal,” Dontae said.

Kulla’s family moved to Tampico in May, and he said he and his brothers – two of whom attend the high school – wear Confederate flag apparel to school with regularity. In fact, they’re planning to wear them to school today, and then to the school board meeting later in the day – along with at least 10 other students.

“I hope they’re all up for suspension,” Dontae said. “If that’s what they’re going to do; they know the punishment.”

And he predicts that’s what they’ll get, saying his principal has stood his ground.

“I appreciate what he’s doing in sticking up for me, his students, and the rules,” Dontae said. “He’s definitely holding his ground.”

Dontae said he rarely saw the Confederate

ILLINOIS Chicago police get reform help

CHICAGO (AP) – A former deputy superintendent of the Chicago Police who left to head departments in Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia is returning to the city to help reform a force that’s trying to regain public trust in the wake of a video showing a white officer fatally shooting a black teenager, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office announced Sunday.

Charles Ramsey, 65, one of the nation’s most respected law enforcement figures, has twice – first in Washington and then in Philadelphia – invited federal reviews of those agencies similar to the civil rights investigation into the Chicago Police Department that the Justice Department announced last month.

He has said that policeinvolved shootings in both of those cities subsequently declined.

Ramsey, an AfricanAmerican from the city’s South Side, returns to Chicago amid protests that have called for Emanuel to resign over the release 2 months ago of the video of Laquan McDonald’s shooting death by Officer Jason Van Dyke. The video sparked the biggest crisis of Emanuel’s administration and cost Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy his job.

County sues state for unpaid bills CARBONDALE (AP) – Jackson County in southern Illinois is the latest local government to sue the state over unpaid bills caused by the lack of a state spending plan.

State’s Attorney Michael Carr announced the lawsuit Friday. The county wants to compel payment of salary reimbursements that help pay for several top local government jobs.

Union, Williamson and Franklin counties have filed similar suits. And governments in St. Clair County and in Saline and Gallatin counties have filed lawsuits seeking release of tax money collected on cell and landline phone calls for 911 emergency-dispatch centers.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed a $3.1 billion spending bill in December that freed up some other sources of state money for local governments.

Budget muddles new school work

MARION (AP) – The prolonged state budget stalemate is forcing a southern Illinois school district to consider borrowing more than $7 million to help pay for a new high school.

The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan reported that the Marion Community Unit School District board plans to vote on taking out a line of credit of up to $7.3 million to continue with construction as the wait for state money continues. Nearly half of the $67 million project is funded through state and federal money.

District Superintendent Keith Oates says that about $5.8 million in capital development grants and Illinois Emergency Management Agency funds are unavailable due to the budget standoff.

Oates said the district only has enough money to pay project invoices through the end of this week.

WASHINGTON SPOTLIGHT

Environmental protections still greatly needed Flint proves it; GOP hopefuls not convinced

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

EDITORIALS FROM YESTERYEAR | 1916

From our archives: ‘Keep the dollars moving this week’ Note to readers – Sauk Valley Media reprints editorials and articles from the past as a regular Monday feature. The following items appeared in the Gazette on Jan. 24, 1916.

What a dollar will do

T

he Gazette Working Dollar was returned to this office this morning [Jan. 24].

It had been on the way since 5 o’clock Friday evening, Jan. 14. It was handed to Mrs. Roy G. Woods by The Gazette, Mrs. Woods being the only business woman who attended the meeting which was held to start Pay-Up Week on the way. It was returned to The Gazette by John Thompson of Rock Falls.

During its travels, it passed through the hands of 71 different people. During its trip, the weather was very bad part of the time, which kept people at home. But the work of this single dollar tells the story of what a dollar can do if kept busy. That was the only reason for sending it out.

This is Pay-Up Week – a week that is being generally adopted all over the country – in which folks make a business of paying up all back accounts.

There are very few people who intentionally neglect their bills. They just forget them – neglect them – think next week or the week after, or next month or the month after, will do as well.

Many are bunching their bills, where they do not have the ready money, and are borrowing the money in one bunch and are paying everything up.

It is a mighty comfortable feeling to walk downtown every morning and know that

What we thought: 100 years ago nobody can say, That fellow owes me a bill. The Gazette Working Dollar illustrates how many hands a dollar may pass through in a week, and ten dollars will pay ten times the bills.

Keep the dollars moving this week, and prosperity will beam on everybody. – Jan. 24, 1916

There is a huge demand for pork in this Congress, and as it probably would be inadvisable to expend large sums on it and

on preparedness at the same time, one or the other has got to suffer. It is likely that preparedness will suffer.

Chairman Stephen M. Sparkman of the Rivers and Harbors committee is framing another river and harbor pork bill, one of greater dimensions than ever before. It is to be for $46 million, and he believes it will be passed.

The last Congress, at a time when the pork barrel was an unpopular institution among press and public, appropriated a lump sum of $30 million for rivers and harbors, and inserted in the sundry civil bills $27 million for the same purpose. Most of the money was to be wasted on projects of no permanent value.

People do not object to internal improvements of a bona fide character; but the present system is wasting millions in money and finds no defenders except congressmen and the isolated sections who benefit through government money being “put in circulation” in the vicinity. – Jan. 24, 1916

• Bert White loses all when houseboat goes over dam • Torn from bank Sunday night and goes over dams, breaking badly The big houseboat belonging to Bert White was loosened from its fastenings at the foot of 14th Avenue Sunday night about 5 o’clock and was carried over both dams in a very short time.

The houseboat has been up the river for the past few years and was only moved down last fall.

The boat had frozen to the river bottom in the shallow water. The great mass of ice floes coming down last night struck it, and becoming loosened was carried out into the swift current.

When it went over the government dam, the contents of the boat were hurled about and scattered over the water.

Upon going over the lower dam, it was still further damaged.

It kept on its way downstream and is probably well on down to the mouth of the river ere this.

The houseboat was erected a few years ago, being over 30 feet long and a very substantial affair.

Mr. White had been using it to live in for several years, but happened to be away at the time it broke loose.

The house was valued at $400.

Mr. White had all his possessions in it at the time, and this together with the loss of the boat, will amount to $1,000.

Mr. White is undecided whether to go downstream in search of some of his belongings. – Jan. 24, 1916

WASHINGTON – Imagine a governor of a large state deciding to cut costs and appointing a staff of bureaucrats who change the water supply for 100,000 people to save money but don’t bother to have it treated properly for contaminants. For more than a year the people drink dangerous water without knowing it.

When doctors start seeing signs of lead poisoning, which causes behavioral problems and learning disabilities in children and kidney disease in adults – problems that can last for generations, questions begin to be asked.

At first, the state officials ignore the results and deny there’s a problem.

Local churches and charities trying to supply bottled water to terrified parents who can’t afford to buy it run out. People who can afford to buy bottled water can’t find it. For a while the governor hopes it will just all go away.

But then the national media swoops in and finds chaos. Finally, the National Guard begins distributing free water and filters. And finally, the governor takes his head out of the sand, requests aid from the federal government he despises and admits the state, which caused the problem, can’t fix it. And even then, people are having a hard time finding and getting the water, filters and lead test kits they need.

Worried husband needs a reality check Dear Abby, My husband and I have been married 7 years and have two beautiful children. Overall, the time we have been together has been wonderful, although we do sometimes argue.

On more than one occasion, my husband has shared his concern that I am cheating on him. I have never been unfaithful, nor have I ever given him any reason to think I would be. He’s worried because he knows my father was unfaithful to my mother many years ago. We both learned about it because my mother shared it while discussing my brother and his wife.

Having had no prior knowledge of this period

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

in my parents’ lives, I was shocked. I didn’t grow up around it and was never taught that cheating is OK. How can I get my husband to stop putting me in the same category as my father?

He says he read that cheating is hereditary so I’m bound to do it. He throws the same accusa-

tion at me any time he gets upset with me. It’s starting to affect my hope for our future because I don’t think he will ever trust that I love him and don’t plan to commit adultery.

– Not Like Dear Old Dad Dear Not Like Dear Old Dad, I don’t know where your husband “read” that adultery is hereditary, but it’s time you asked to see the source of his misinformation because it’s wrong. You are not responsible for your father’s behavior, and for your husband to imply that because your father strayed you will is, frankly, insulting.

If you are accused of

infidelity any time there’s a disagreement, you two aren’t getting to the root of what’s really wrong in your marriage, and it’s time to get professional marriage counseling.

Dear Abby, We just hosted the family for our annual postChristmas get-together.

My brother-in-law’s girlfriend of many years was on her cellphone during the cocktail hour, the entire dessert course and the gift exchange. When I mentioned to my husband how rude she was, he told me she had been checking football scores and cheering/commenting while my daughter was playing the violin song her ensemble had

played for the holiday concert.

I never answer my phone when I’m entertaining guests because they are where my attention should be. My daughters have been taught that it’s rude to be on the phone during dinner and when guests are over.

How can I nip this in the bud without causing a rift with my brother-inlaw, whom I love dearly?

If “Pseudo Auntie” does not want to socialize with the people she has been invited to be with, she should stay home.

– Offended in New Jersey

blame you for feeling upset about it. I do not think that it should cause a rift if you were to tell your brother-in-law and his girlfriend that using her cellphone during the dinner you worked so hard to prepare, and during your daughter’s violin recital, caused hurt feelings. And tell them that in the future you would like her to leave her phone elsewhere during family gatherings in your home.

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

Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Dear Offended, I agree with you that “Pseudo Auntie’s” behavior was rude, and I don’t

Do not always go with the first idea

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

An anonymous Internet user wrote, “I was in the hospital today and saw this cute guy with a cast on his leg, and my first thought was that this one can’t run away.”

It is often best to go with your first thought. It is especially galling to stop, analyze, then make a mistake, when if you had acted instantaneously, you would have been successful.

However, there are deals in which the converse is true: The first thought is wrong, and a different approach needs to be chosen. Which applies in this deal? Against four hearts, West leads his fourth-highest club. After East wins with the ace, what would be his immediate reaction? Is it right here? If not,

what is? South opened with a textbook weak two-bid: a decent six-card suit and 6-10 high-card points. North bid what he hoped his partner could make.

East’s immediate reaction

will be to return a club – lead back partner’s suit. If it were a no-trump contract, that would usually be best. But when there is a trump suit, third hand should pause to consider the alternatives. In particular, he should wonder from where four defensive tricks might come. Given the dummy, East can see two: his club ace and heart king. Assuming West has the club king, that is a third. The fourth will have to come from spades, and there isn’t a moment to lose because dummy’s diamonds are threatening to provide discards.

At trick two, East must shift to the spade eight, the high card denying an honor in the suit. Then the contract will fail. But note that if East leads a club at trick two, South will take one spade, five hearts and four diamonds. © 2016 UFS

Lincoln Manahan Home has opened its doors to 1,600 students BUCKALOO

Historical society membership

CONTINUED FROM A1

Basically, our job is to sell local history and to promote it. If you get them interested, it could trigger an interest for the rest of their life.

When you do hook them, and you see their eyes get big …

That’s the fun time.

I don’t do a lot of the school tours. We have an excellent group of retired teachers who give most of the tours, but I do fill in sometimes. And it’s really enjoyable when you get some intelligent questions. We give the teachers a pre-visit activity and a post-visit activity, so sometimes they’ve got the kids well-prepared, and sometimes the kids ask really intelligent questions and really get into it.

Any idea how many

kids have been through the home?

We started in the fall of 2011 giving school tours – we’re targeting fourth grade – and we’ve had 1,600 students from Sterling and Rock Falls tour the home. So I think we’ve kind of achieved

our goal. We just need to expand on that.

And how are you working toward that?

One way is with our Junior Historian program in the summertime. It’s currently in the Big Red Church, but eventually it will be housed in the Lin-

There had to be some trial-and-error, figuring out the ideal time to get kids engaged. How did you guys land on the fourth grade?

That was on the advice of this group of teachers.

committee, and they did the curriculum. We decided fourth grade was the right age to target.

We were talking about computers and how society is a lot different than it was 27 years ago.

How nice is it to be able to get lost in tangible history in the historical society – to get your hands on it, rather than looking at it on a computer screen?

We have a great set of the local papers going

back to 1860. Oftentimes, if somebody is looking at the paper, they’ll say they’re looking for something specific, but they end up getting lost in everything else.

Poole and Dixon’s Daniel Pottorff did qualify as individuals for the state meet next weekend in O’Fallon. But the miss by the Hawks as a team stung.

Oregon’s scores were there in the final game, but some crucial singlepin spares were missed.

“It is real tough to score when you are missing single pin spares,” coach Nordman said.

STERLING – Sterling forward Dimitric Young had an efficient game Saturday against Morrison, but the big smile he wore postgame wasn’t because of his performance. Young was more excited about how teammate Sean Gingrich played.

“Sean, that’s my guy right there,” Young said. “If you want a 3, you go to him.”

Gingrich got his first start of the season on Saturday, and made the most of his opportunity.

The sophomore guard made four 3-pointers and scored a game-high 16 points in the Golden Warriors’ 67-33 win over the visiting Redskins in a NIB-12 crossover game.

After spending most of the year at 126 – and a couple of matches at 132 – the Sterling junior moved back down to 120 to claim the Northern Illinois Big 12 tournament title on Saturday at Dayton Gym at DeKalb High School.

Figueroa was one of two champs for the Warriors, who finished with 138 points in fifth place. The Barbs won the tournament with 185, 42 points ahead of runner-up Yorkville’s 147. Geneseo (146.5) and Sycamore (145) were right on the heels of the Foxes.

“It feels pretty good because he was a top ranked in the state, ranked seventh, and I got a major decision,” Figueroa said. “It feels pretty good because it’s also the second tournament I’ve won in high school.”

Coach Jeff Gale said the team was aiming to pick up some wins over the Maple Leafs for seeding purposes when the regional rolls around.

They went 4-1 against Geneseo on the day.

Gale said Saturday was just the start for Figueroa.

“Isaac is a great wrestler and it’s

Both Figueroa and Beasley each only needed two wins to get their respective titles.

Turnovers cost Warriors in crossover loss to Redskins

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

STERLING – With a couple of key players out of the lineup, Sterling figured to possibly sputter a bit during Saturday’s game against NIB-12 crossover opponent Morris.

Unfortunately for the Golden Warriors, they did just that in a 30-27 loss to the Redskins at Musgrove Fieldhouse.

One of the team’s top inside threats, Kaylee Martin, is no longer playing as she dedicates more time to volleyball. Also, point guard Jay Borum missed Saturday’s game for a volleyball function.

It led to a game in which the Golden Warriors (10-13, 4-3 NIB-12 West) were within striking distance the entire game, but unable to seize control.

Illini land two prize recruits Sunday Illinois landed two recruits to the Class of 2016 on Sunday, picking up threestar defensive end Tymir Oliver out of Philadelphia, and two-star linebacker Christion Abercrombie from Atlanta.

Oliver, a three-star recruit, committed to Illinois on Sunday after considering offers from Boston College, Northwestern, Purdue, Rutgers, Temple and Virginia. The 6-foot-3, 265-pounder had formerly committed to Rutgers.

Abercrombie also had offers from 16 programs, and previously visited Georgia State.

Running back Kentrail Moran, from O’Fallon, was the Illini’s top committed recruit but he decommitted on Friday. Moran was rated as the 18th best running back in the nation. He is predicted by recruiting services to be picking Eastern Michigan.

Tribune player of the year picks Wisconsin Glenbard West senior running back Sam Brodner, the Chicago Tribune Player of the Year, orally committed to Wisconsin on Sunday following an official visit, picking the Badgers over the Illini because of Wisconsin’s tradition of producing talented running backs.

Brodner, who rushed for 1,917 yards and scored 47 touchdowns to lead the Hilltoppers to an undefeated record and Class 7A state title this season, decommitted from Vanderbilt in mid-December.

At 5-foot-11 and 215 pounds, Brodner possesses the power of a fullback and the elite speed of a breakaway running back.

He recorded a 4.49 40 and 39.6-inch vertical at the Nike Opening Regional at Addison Trail on May 3.

Broncos back to Big Game Manning, Denver D do enough to beat Brady, Patriots

BY EDDIE PELLS AP National Writer

DENVER – When Peyton Manning was watching games from the locker room a few months ago, none of this seemed possible.

Manning back on the field, playing the role of the most decorated game manager in history.

Manning churning his 39-year-old legs around right end for a 12-yard gain and a first down.

Manning back in the Super Bowl.

The strangest season of No. 18’s Hall of Fameready career will play itself out all the way to the last game. Manning and the Denver Broncos are heading to the Super Bowl, thanks to his efficient offense and a bigplay defense that saved a 20-18 victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots on Sunday.

“It’s been a unique season,” Manning said. “And this game today was a unique football game.”

Manning’s third-quarter scramble for a first down – “The run,” he called it, using air quotes – might be the most celebrated scramble by a Broncos quarterback since John Elway helicoptered in the Super Bowl, 18 years ago. It was certainly the most unexpected.

“He’s going to do what he has to do to win,” Broncos coach Gary Kubiak said. “He’s one of the greatest competitors ever in this league.”

That play helped flip the field early in the second half for the Broncos

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is sacked by the Broncos’ Von Miller (58) and Malik Jackson (97) during the second half of the AFC Championship game Sunday in Denver. The Broncos won 20-18 to advance to Super Bowl 50.

(14-4). Then, defense saved the day.

Manning’s fourth trip to the Super Bowl wasn’t wrapped up until cornerback Bradley Roby picked off Brady’s pass on a 2-point attempt that would have tied it with 12 seconds left.

Brady hit a double-covered Rob Gronkowski in the back of the end zone on fourth down from the 4 to set up the potential tie. The Patriots had to go for 2 because Stephen Gostkowski pushed an extra point to the right in the first quarter – his first miss in 524 tries.

That left it to one play, and after the Broncos took a timeout to give

DeMarcus Ware time to rest and get back in the game, Aqib Talib stepped in front of Brady’s pass and deflected it skyward.

Roby, who forced the game-changing fumble in last week’s victory over Pittsburgh, made the pick. The Broncos recovered the onside kick and the celebration began.

“It’s not just one individual’s fault,” Gronkowski said. “You can’t put it on the hands of Steph, there’s no way.”

Manning improved to 6-11 in his vaunted series against Brady, but 3-1 with the AFC title on the line. Manning surpasses Elway as the oldest quarterback to take his team

to the Super Bowl.

New England (13-5) came up short, and won’t get a chance to go back-to-back and win a fifth Lombardi Trophy.

The Patriots lost their last two regular season games to squander home-field advantage.

In a game that came down to one play, that may have made a difference. Another possible factor: Bill Belichick’s decision to pass up short field-goal attempts twice in the fourth quarter while trailing by eight.

“Because of the scoring situation in the game,” Belichick said, when asked about those decisions.

Panthers dominant once again Newton, Carolina defense make short work of Cardinals

BY BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Superman is headed for the Super Bowl.

He’s taking the Carolina Panthers with him.

Cam Newton threw for two touchdowns and ran for two others, and Carolina’s big-play defense stifled the league’s topranked offense in a 49-15 romp Sunday for the NFC championship. It was the most points for a winner of an NFC title game.

The NFL’s new top man at quarterback – Newton is an AllPro this season – will lead the Panthers against five-time MVP Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos in 2 weeks. Carolina is favored by four points.

“Playing the sheriff,” Newton said of Manning. “We’re going to live in the moment right now.

We’re going to be excited.”

It will be Newton’s first trip to the Super Bowl, and the second trip to the big game for the Panthers (17-1), who lost to New England 12 years ago. Denver, of course, has made a habit of going to Super Bowls, reaching it for a record-tying eighth time.

“We won as a team,” Newton said. “We came out here and fought our tails off, and we did what a lot of people said we couldn’t do. It’s not over yet.

We’ll be ready to go in 2 weeks.”

Carolina’s defense was just as destructive as Newton. It picked off Carson Palmer four times, forced two fumbles by him, and never let up the assault.

Special teams also had a takeaway, and when Carolina grabbed a 24-7 halftime lead this time, it didn’t back off, as it did in nearly blowing a 31-point margin a week ago vs. Seattle.

Panthers quarterback Cam Newton leaps into the end zone for a touchdown during the second half the NFC Championship game Sunday against the Cardinals in Charlotte, N.C. Carolina won 49-15. touchdown – no, he didn’t have a cape on – he posed like a superhero, dabbed a bit, and pointed the Panthers toward the Bay Area and Super Bowl 50.

Newton finished with 335 yards passing and 47 rushing as Carolina won its 13th straight home game, including three in the playoffs.

One of his biggest helpers was Ted Ginn Jr., who was dumped by the Cardinals after last season.

Ginn had a 32-yard punt return to set up his weaving 22-yard TD run, and chased down All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson to prevent a second-quarter touchdown for Arizona. He also had 52 yards on two receptions.

Carolina’s defense did the rest, most notably making Palmer uncomfortable in the pocket and turning Larry Fitzgerald, the star of last week’s overtime victory against Green Bay, into a virtual non-entity. It led the league

with 39 takeaways, and at times it made an Arizona team that gained more yards than anyone look amateurish.

“We wanted to come out and play a complete game, and I think the guys up front played exceptional,” linebacker Luke Kuechly said. “There was pressure all day.”

Capping the barrage was Kuechly, who returned an interception 22 yards for a score. The 49 points were the most this season for Carolina, which led the NFL with 500 points. The last time a team scored as many as 49 in a conference title game was 1990, when Buffalo beat the Los Angeles Raiders 51-3 in the AFC. The Panthers did lose All-Pro linebacker Thomas Davis to a broken right forearm, but he was confident he’d play in 2 weeks.

“I will do whatever it takes [to play],” he said of the Super Bowl.

Rockets pull off upset on road Rock Falls beats Rockford Lutheran; Hawks rally past Cards

By SVM Sports Staff

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Dixon’s Jarod White celebrates with his teammates following a strike early on during the Rockford East Sectional on Saturday at Don Carter Lanes.

Empty frames cost both Dukes, Hawks INDIVIDUAL

CONTINUED FROM B1

“We just did not cover the spares,” Nordman continued. “We had poor carry and were missing pins all over the lanes.”

This spread of pins made it hard for the bowlers and coaches to make the right adjustments for the lane conditions.

“We made changes to try and adapt to the lanes, but the conditions were treacherous,” coach Nordman said.

What made the final game 1,006 more impressive was that it was done following one of the worst games of the season.

“Nothing was worse than our fifth game tonight,” coach Nordman said. “I was impressed with how the team handled the pressure. When it fell apart in the fourth and fifth, it is easy to give up, but they fought hard for a strong finish.”

In the fifth game, the team had three splits with 15 open frames, making it difficult to post high scores.

“It is hard to build scores without stringing marks together,” coach Nordman said. “We need to remember that the season is not measured on one day or one game. They did great all year.”

The day started off strong with a 1,020 to put the Hawks in eighth place, then ninth after the second game.

A strong team effort in the third posted a 1,120 series and raised the team to fourth on the leaderboard heading into the break.

Coach Nordman said the team really needed to be in the top three at the half, because the teams at the sectional are some of the toughest in the state.

“We wanted to come out stronger then we did because our second half had been a struggle this year,” he said. “We started to get on a roll in the third game, and after the break we struggled in the second half of the fourth game.”

The third game was a highlight for the Hawks, with each bowler scoring in the 200s. Miranda had a 202, Kyle Lundquist 220, Jacob Coleman 232, Nordman 221, and Derek Poole with 245.

Poole’s best game was the first game but it did not start out that well. On his opening ball, he left

the 3-6-10 split and failed to convert the spare. He recovered with 11 strikes to post a 279 game.

“Derek held his composure after the first frame,” said Nordman. “He was locked in to start and had a nice series to open for us. He carried us through those first games.”

Poole used a different ball on each lane during the opening game.

“I normally don’t do that, but it worked today,” he said.

When the scores were announced, Poole’s 1,324 series (279-239-245-205145-211) was the sixthhighest individual not on an advancing team seven pins above the mark needed to qualify.

“I am disappointed we can’t go as a team,” Poole said of his Oregon teammates, with whom Winnebago was in a co-op for the first time this season.

“They were fun, and it will be hard to bowl without them. I am excited to represent Oregon.”

Pottorff felt the same way about being Dixon’s lone state qualifier.

“This is my first year qualifying, and it is an honor,” said Pottorff, who has been bowling for 3 years. “It will be an honor to represent Dixon at the state tournament.

“The lanes were tough today, and the coaches helped us adjust.”

The best performance of Pottorff’s high school career was jsut good enough for a state berth.

He was the seventh and final qualifier by 1 pin over Woodstock’s Edward Zurawski.

“Daniel Pottorff did well today,” Dixon coach Chad Bahr said. “He is close as an individual to qualify today.”

Pottorff rolled a 1,324 series (214, 208, 245, 211, 215, 224).

Dixon started off strong with an 1,128 game,but were unable to match the performance and had 905 and 936 to finish out the first half of the day.

After the break the team continued to struggle on the lanes with scores of 847, 971, and 896 for a 6 game series of 5,683 for 15th out of 16 teams.

“The lanes broke down and we just took our foot off the gas today,” Bahr said. “At this stage, you need to be on your game.”

With only one senior, Dixon is a young team that will carry the experience gained at the sectional into next season.

Warriors bury Morris after close 1st quarter DEEP BALL

Sterling 67, Morris 33

CONTINUED FROM B1

Gingrich has been used sparingly this season, averaging about 3 minutes per game in a reserve role off the bench. During Tuesday’s practice however, Warriors coach Ryan Vasquez shuffled the lineup and told the team that Gingrich would start against the Redskins.

As a sophomore playing on varsity for the first time, Gingrich figured his minutes would be limited, but he never let that stop him from preparing like a starter during practice. His work ethic throughout the season didn’t escape the coaches, and it made for an easy decision for Vasquez.

“It was just Sean’s time,” Vasquez said following the win. “He earned it. He put in the work and the results showed [Saturday].”

Gingrich wasn’t overwhelmed by the moment, and started off hot. He found himself with the ball behind the 3-point line early in the first quarter and pulled the trigger, then skipped back on defense after watching the ball fall through the net.

His 3 was followed by a 3 from Ryan Blackburn, and Sterling (13-5, 3-2) was able to stay with Morris after the Redskins took a 15-14 lead into the second quarter after making five 3s.

Matt Shaw had four 3s in the quarter for 12 points, but didn’t score again.

The Warriors, however, had much more in the tank. Sterling opened the second quarter on a devastating 24-0 run, aided by eight Redskins turn-

Gingrich went 4-for-5 in the quarter, including two more 3s, and added two steals during the run.

On one play late in the first half, Gingrich shuffled into the corner and drained a 3 as Morris was late in rotating. The shot forced Morris coach Joe Blumberg to call a timeout. Blumberg told his

players during the stoppage that they had to be aware of Gingrich at all times, and instructed them to not allow Gingrich a clean look.

High praise for a sophomore making his first start.

“I just had to have confidence in myself,” Gingrich said. “Coach put me in there for a reason, because he said he need-

ed scorers. I was really shocked when Coach told me I was starting, but I knew he had confidence in me.

“When that first shot went down, it got me going and it helped me believe that I could do it.”

Sterling made nine 3s in all, four coming from Gingrich, three more from Blackburn, and two from Zach Springman.

Young, a junior, scored 10 points and was effective in transition. Young scored four points during Sterling’s 10-2 run to open the third quarter that pushed the Warriors’ lead to 48-19.

Morris had trouble stopping the scoring runs due to 24 turnovers. Sterling, meanwhile, committed nine turnovers, and shot 60 percent (26for-43), effectively burying Morris.

Both teams emptied their benches in the fourth.

“We just wanted to push the ball and wear them down,” Young said. “We had a bunch of different lineups in there, and we were all sharing the ball and pushing offensively.

We got disciplined and found the hot hand.”

This time, that hand belonged to Gingrich.

Defense dominant at Musgrove SHORT-HANDED CONTINUED FROM B1

“We have enough seniors that we needed somebody to step up tonight and take care of things when things started going south,” Sterling coach Casey Carbaugh said, “and we didn’t have that.”

Sterling’s main undoing was in the turnover department, where they racked up 26. Ten of those came via Morris steals, but the other 16 were on the Golden Warriors.

“I talked to the girls in the locker room. The worst part about it was they were lazy turnovers, and they were unforced,” Carbaugh said. “As coaches, we can’t pass for them. We can’t catch the ball for them. We can try to get them to the right spot, but they’re the ones that have to execute. Unfortunately, 26 turnovers later, we didn’t do that.”

Down 11-8 at halftime, the Golden Warriors twice knotted the score, first at 15-15 after a 3-point play by Rashel Robinson at the 3:29 mark of the third quarter, then again at 17-17 following two free throws

by Katelyn Everett.

Morris sophomore guard Mya Shannon closed the third quarter with a pair of baskets to up the margin to four points (21-17), and Sterling didn’t get closer than three points the rest of the way. A banked-in 3-pointer at the buzzer by the Golden Warriors’ Erin Stroup narrowed the margin at the end.

Sterling was 10-for-33 from the field and 5-for12 from the free-throw line, a conversion rate that, combined with the high turnover total, spelled doom for the Warriors.

“They weren’t falling that well, and also, they were kind of rushed,” Stroup said. “We didn’t have the confidence, and

were all kind of uptight.

It’s like we need to just let loose and shoot it.

We can make shots. We make shots in practice.”

Robinson and Everett led Sterling with seven points apiece, while Mya Pearson collected nine rebounds and blocked two shots.

Leading the way for Morris (7-14, 4-4) was Shannon, who scored 12 points, grabbed eight rebounds and snared five steals, all team highs.

Meghan Jurak added nine points and six boards.

The Redskins won despite shooting 20 percent (11-for-55) from the field, and converting fewer than half (8-for-17) of their free throws.

“We’ll call that a defensive battle, for sure,” Morris coach Kate Carey said. “Our defense has been our strong suit all along, and we anticipated giving Sterling some trouble with our defense.

Our problem has been scoring, and we saw that yet again. We were getting open looks and couldn’t put the ball in the hoop.

“I am proud of my girls for keeping the lead the whole time, and not giving up on the defense when things get rough on the offense.”

Hawks back on track Chicago shuts out Blues at United Center

BY MATT CARLSON Associated Press

CHICAGO – Corey Crawford stopped 25 shots for his leagueleading seventh shutout, rookie Artemi Panarin and Andrew Shaw scored, and the Chicago Blackhawks beat the St. Louis Blues 2-0 on Sunday night to end a twogame losing streak.

Crawford wasn’t consistently tested while earning his 19th career shutout. The defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks rebounded from listless road losses at Tampa Bay and Florida that followed a franchiserecord 12-game winning streak.

St. Louis’ Brian Elliott made 23 saves in his eighth straight start since taking over for Jake Allen, who suffered a lower-body injury on Jan. 8. Elliott is 5-2-2 since entering in the second period of that game against the Ducks.

The Blues lost their second straight since ending a three-game winning

Panarin got Chicago on the board with 4:34 left in the period when he leaned into a one-timer from the right circle and ripped a rising shot over Elliott’s glove. Panarin, who leads rookies with 17 goals and 46 points, was set up when Patrick Kane threaded him a cross-ice

backhand pass.

The goal ended a Chicago scoreless streak at 155 minutes and 43 seconds.

The Blackhawks hadn’t connected since 43 seconds into a 2-1 loss at Tampa Bay on Thursday night.

Shaw extended it to 2-0 at 4:56 of the third, connecting on a midair deflection during the first of the game’s two power plays.

New coach, same Cavs Bulls win in Cleveland, spoil Lue’s debut

BY TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND – Tyronn Lue didn’t make much of a difference in his coaching debut for Cleveland, as Pau Gasol scored 25 points to lead the Chicago Bulls to a 96-83 win over the Cavaliers on Saturday night.

Lue was promoted Friday, when the Cavaliers fired David Blatt despite him taking the team to the NBA Finals last season and currently leading the Eastern Conference. The coaching swap didn’t have any immediate impact on the Bulls, who outhustled the Cavs to loose balls and won for just the third time in nine games.

Jimmy Butler scored 20 points, Nikola Mirotic added 17, and Taj Gibson 15 for Chicago, which

LeBron James just missed his first tripledouble this season, fin-

ishing with 26 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists. J.R. Smith added 18 points for the Cavs, who shot 37 percent from the field and were only 9-for-22 from the threethrow line.

Be direct

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your personal relationships will flourish if you share your feelings and intentions. Make a promise that will help you enforce positive alterations at home and work.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be direct, ask questions and do your best to find out exactly what’s going on. A trip or cultural event will give you plenty to think about and new options to consider.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Get out and socialize. The people you meet will change your life. An offer will prompt you to make a move. Get all the details before you commit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Make plans to do something with the youngsters in your life or spend a romantic evening with someone you love. The more you interact with others, the more you stand to gain.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Don’t limit what you can do. Be up-front about your qualifications and feelings. Avoid indulgent behavior and extravagance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) --

Monday January 25, 2016

When making a deal, make sure that you give yourself enough leeway to feel comfortable moving forward. Romance is in the stars, and greater security is within reach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Don’t get angry when you should get moving. If something needs to be done, forge ahead and don’t look back. As long as you are responsible and reliable, you have nothing to worry about.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Love is on the rise. Discuss what you’d like to see happen and put some plans in motion. A vacation or joint venture will bring you closer to your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Exaggeration must be avoided. If you make unrealistic promises, you will suffer an emotional or financial loss. Keep your personal affairs a secret or the information will be used against you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Gather information and put a plan together that will help you raise your profile and your reputation. A business trip will pay off, as will a romantic gesture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -You can offer help, but don’t get taken for granted. Put a limit on how much you will do, and refuse to let anyone guilt you into anything more. Make personal changes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You’ll have unusual ideas that will help you find solutions to pending problems. Your keen sense of timing coupled with your insight will conquer whatever you come up against. ©2015 UFS
