GRAND DETOUR | NEW DOCUMENTARY

‘John Deere’s Dream’ realized Scenes to be shot in Ogle County village

BY ANGEL SIERRA asierra@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5695

GRAND DETOUR – Themes of ingenuity and perseverance permeate the histories of successful American entrepreneurs.

Moline native Chris Burke hopes to capture that spirit in a documentary about a man who changed the agricultural world: John Deere.

Burke, 41, focused the storyline of his screenplay on Deere’s early life – the parts that made the young man a renowned innovator – and

The new documentary, “The Best That Is In Me: Mr. John Deere’s Dream,” produced by Fourth Wall Films of Moline, will be narrated by venerable actor Rance Howard. It is scheduled to be released in early 2016.

Tribute to Mom Burke, who lives in Aurora with his wife, Jennifer, 40, and three daughters, started the project shortly after his mom, Karen, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in January 2008.

“She was the martyr,” Burke said.

ABOVE: More than 50 drivers participated in the One-Day Sublette Tractor Drive on Wednesday morning. The group left Sublette at 8 a.m. and traveled to Lowell Park in Dixon. Ride organizer Tom Dinges wished to thank the city of Dixon for its cooperation in helping the ride get through the city quickly and a safely. After lunch at the riverside park, the group drove back to Sublette.

STERLING – Fundraising efforts for a proposed dog park project at Thomas Park are ramping up after almost being aborted, according to project committee members.

The concept of Sterling Bark Park was developed 2 years ago through Facebook conversations between some supporters now on the committee.

“We talked about how we needed a dog park here, and we had supporters sign a petition,” committee member Pat McLeod said.

The group then approached the Sterling Park District, which also formed a committee to study the idea. It was decided that the underused back portion of the park along Lynn Boulevard – anywhere from one-third to half the park – could provide enough space for dogs to run without their leashes.

A Chevy HHR driven by Frank Norman, 80, of Sterling crashed into the temporary entrance to the Emergency Department at CGH Medical Center on Wednesday night in Sterling. According to a news release from the Sterling Police Department, at 8:24 p.m., Norman drove underneath the overhang, turned right and accelerated into the building.

Area shelter helping huskies find good homes Site houses 12 dogs at a time

BY JESSI HAISH Shaw Media jhaish@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – Lisa Monge considers Raven’s Husky Haven and Rescue a Match.com for huskies. “There really is kind of a husky for everybody,� said Monge, manager of Raven’s.

Raven’s Husky Haven and Rescue, 27779 Five Points Road near Sycamore, has been working to find homes for rescued huskies for about 18 months, and Monge is looking forward to helping even more of the dogs in the future.

In the past 18 months, 66 huskies have found homes through the rescue. The rescue serves Illinois shelters and other rescues by bringing in Siberian huskies to rehabilitate and train them to get them into a good home. Many are strays or were surrendered by their owners.

Raven’s start in January 2013 was inspired by Raven, a Siberian husky rescued by founders Kelly Lambert and Jennifer Soule. “Raven really embodies what we do here,� Monge said. “She was extremely unloved, and she needed a home desperately. Kelly and Jennifer adopted her and brought her back to good health and good spirit. And now she’s a

lives they can have after adoption. It’s something that here, we’re striving to do the same.�

TRACTOR PULL HIGHLIGHTS DAY AT CARROLL COUNTY FAIR

Monge lives on the property of the husky haven, and up to 12 dogs can be housed in the renovated pole barn behind her home. Currently, the rescue is mostly funded by the owners, but Monge said there is always a need for donations, and the organization is seeking more fundraising opportunities. In fact, Monge said finding more fundraising is her biggest goal for the next year. “Each time we adopt a husky, it’s like we’re saving two,� Monge said. “Because we get to adopt one out, and we also take in a new husky.�

Monge said volunteers, whether they can help once a week or once a month, are priceless

when it comes to helping the rescue function.

Sisters Lauren and Lexie Leffelman of Kirkland volunteer to help with “luv time,� which involves cuddling and providing affection to dogs that may not be accustomed to it.

Volunteers document how much affection time is spent with each husky to make sure they are receiving enough attention to make a healthy transformation. “This is my happy place,� Lauren Leffelman said. “When I started college, I wanted to study nursing. Since I’ve been coming here, it’s taken a 180, and now I want to be in an animal field. This fall, I’ll be studying to be a veterinary assistant.�

PROPHETSTOWN – After financial considerations forced the cancellation of this summer’s Prophetstown Powwow, the event’s organizer said it will be back next year.

In 2005, local resident Dan Eads started the event held along the banks of the Rock River in Prophetstown State Park. The event, which features Native American dancers, musicians, food, arts and crafts, draws hundreds of people to the area. Tipis are set up along the banks of the river.

The event is always held the first weekend in August. Eads said the decision to cancel the event was made in early July. “We’ve had a hard time getting donations, and most years costs have

been coming out of my pocket,� Eads said. “I had some big expenses come up this year at the last minute, and I just couldn’t do it.�

Eads said in years past it has cost between $2,000 and $3,000 to organize the powwow. He said he contacted people about the cancellation through his personal Facebook page.

Several area campgrounds and hotels are closely involved with the event, putting up visitors who can’t find space at the state park.

For those disappointed by the cancellation, Eads said Rock Island has a Labor Day powwow in which he plans to participate.

In the meantime, organizers are ratcheting up their fundraising efforts, planning some raffles and other events to be announced later. “We’re working harder to bring in the donations,� Eads said. “We’re definitely planning to do this in Prophetstown next year.

John A. ‘Jack’ Berges Sr. SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Jack Berges passed to eternal life at the age of 94, with his wife of 71 years by his side in his home.

Born in January 1920 in Ansonia, Connecticut, to Emil and Lillian (Wehrle) Berges, he had tales to tell of the Depression, handcranked windshield wipers, and emptying the coal bin. He worked as a golf caddy as a youth, and learned a sport that he enjoyed with family and friends nearly all his life.

Jack attended MIT, where he was in Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, played on the golf team, and graduated in 1940 as a mechanical engineer. He worked as an engineer for Babcock and Wilcox of Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, and Worthington Pump and Machinery in Holyoke, Massachusetts. In 1942, he joined the war effort as a second lieutenant in the Army ordinance department.

Margaret Golden became his lifelong bride on Dec. 26, 1942, in New Haven, Connecticut, before he shipped out to North Africa. He finished his service at Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia after recovering from malaria, and retired from the Army in 1946 with the rank of captain.

Jack was awarded Honorary Member of the British Empire for his assistance to the British Army while overseas.

In 1950, Jack began a 35-year career in management with the General Electric Company.

His promotions took the family to Fort Wayne, Indiana; Caldwell, New Jersey; Brockport, New York; Louisville, Kentucky; and Sterling. His last position was as general manager of Appliance Control Manufacturing in Morrison, Carroll, Iowa, and Singapore.

Jack and Margaret retired in 2002 to Holy

Cross Village at Notre Dame, South Bend, Indiana, where they continued to golf and enjoy all the benefits of an academic community.

No matter the community he was in, Jack always shared his talents and resources with all that he could, serving on many school boards and parish committees. He continued in retirement as a board member at Holy Cross College. A lifelong proponent of ethics in business, his children endowed The John A. Berges Business Ethics Lecture Series at Notre Dame University in his honor.

Jack is survived by his wife, Margaret; his sister-in-law, Francis Krenisky of New Haven, Connecticut; nephews, John and Peter Krenisky; children, John (Claudia) of Rolla, Missouri, James (Cathy) of St. Louis, David (Debra) of Stamford, Connecticut, Michael (Ina) of Baltimore, Anne (Ravi) Pillai of South Bend, and Patricia (Jack) Karnick of Winona, Minnesota; 21 grandchildren; and 23 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by a son, Joseph, in infancy; and a greatgranddaughter, Stephanie Berges. His one brother, Emil Berges, preceded him in death by 1 week.

Visitation will be from 4 to 7 p.m. Friday at Kaniewski Funeral Home in South Bend, Indiana. Another visitation will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday at St. Joseph Chapel in Holy Cross Village, Indiana, and the funeral will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the chapel.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Holy Cross College of South Bend, Indiana, or the donor’s choice.

As Jack told his children many times over the years, “It’s been a great run, it’s been a great 18 holes.�

BOISE, Idaho – Pamela Anne Chamberlain was born the first of six children to Anna Lou and Rodney Chamberlain on Nov. 18, 1946, in Morrison.

As the eldest of five daughters and her younger brother, she was like a second mother to the other children in the household.

After graduating from Sterling Township High School in 1964, Pam pursued a nursing education at SwedishAmerican School of Nursing in Rockford. She would complete her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing, magna cum laude at that University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colorado.

Pam met her husband, Geoff Fernow of LaPorte, Colorado, in 1980. It was their delight to be united for the rest of her days.

Vanessa Linnea was born in March of 1982, and Todd Rodney in 1985. Pam enjoyed the blessings of her family, decorating her home, making friends, travel, gardening, the outdoors, and her cats.

As a registered nurse, Pam practiced in Fort Collins, Colorado, Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Boise, Idaho, in clinical, administrative, and long-term care posi-

tions. Her calling was assisting the disadvantaged with encouragement, education, and professionalism. As nursing supervisor for the Terry Reilly Boise Clinic, Pam cared for the homeless and indigent without healthcare resources. She finished her nursing career by running the employee clinic for Federal Occupational Health in Boise.

Pam faced the diagnosis of ovarian cancer with a resolve to recover, relying on the love of her friends and family and trusting in her Lord. Last year, Pam learned that cancer would take her life. On Saturday, Aug. 2, 2014, Pam passed away peacefully at her home, surrounded by her sister, Sandy; her husband, Geoff; her daughter, Vanessa; and her son, Todd.

Pam also is survived by her mother, Anna Lou Chamberlain of Sterling; sisters, Luann (Mark) Chamberlain of Phoenix, and Rosemary (Russ) Whitaker, Cassandra Meiners, and Eugenie (Pedro) Olalde, all of Sterling; and her brother, Joseph (Sue) Chamberlain of Aurora.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established in Pam’s memory.

CONTINUED FROM A1

While the supporters might be long on enthusiasm, they are short on cash. Preliminary plans called for a pond, dock, an agility course, and separate areas for small and large dogs. The cost estimates came in between $150,000 and $200,000 – with about $70,000 of that needed for fencing.

The dog park committee has raised about $5,000 to date, much of it from mailers that were sent to those who had signed the petition. The park district would provide the land if Thomas Park was the chosen site, but that would be where its financial contribution would likely end. “The park district is not involved financially,� executive director Larry Schuldt said. “The board supports the project and this location as one to consider, but there is no money coming from our end.�

Fundraising momentum hit a wall last year, but the committee said they have refocused their efforts on bringing in enough money to put up the fencing. The small dog and large dog areas would be available, while the other phases of the project could be added when more funds arrive. “We haven’t given up on the other aspects of the park; we would just

do it in phases,� McLeod said.

Despite the fundraising challenges, the committee wants the dog park to be free to the community. “We wouldn’t have a fee at the beginning, at least,� McLeod said. “We hope we can police it ourselves, but we could discover we have to charge later.�

McLeod thinks the fencing can be done for $50,000 if they can get volunteers to help put it up.

Schuldt said the materials alone would cost about $40,000, and that is a 2-year-old estimate. “There is quite a bit of square footage here;

the fencing is for basically three parks in one – small dog, large dog, and agility area,� Schuldt said. “You need perimeter and internal fencing, which is why is costs so much.�

A fundraiser, with activities for adults, kids and dogs has been planned for Sept. 13 at Cochran’s Pub, 13464 Galt Road in Sterling.

There will be events for adults, kids and dogs.

After the September event, the committee also plans to take its fundraising to the next level. “We’re doing a bigger campaign that will focus on corporations and small businesses,�

McLeod said. “Things

came to a stop for awhile, but we have some new people with new ideas on the committee, and we are reinvigorated.�

New committee member Brigitte Willett said the recent Sterling Main Street Dog Days festival helped to solidify the troops. “Some of the ladies approached me at Dog Days, saying they wanted to really get this going again,� she said. “This was almost dead at one point, but we’re committed to getting this first phase finished as soon as possible.�

Schuldt said the dog park particulars will not come before the park board until the funds are available for the fencing. He said the board supports the project and believes Thomas Park is a location to consider. “What the board does also depends on what we hear from the community,� Schuldt said. “We’ve had some concerns about noise, fear of dogs running loose, and some feedback about aesthetics.�

Schuldt believes the site is as good as any other space that could be found locally. “It’s somewhat centralized, and it’s a good use of space that is underutilized,� he said. “I told the committee we’ll hang in there with it as long as they will.�

The closest dog parks are in Dixon, Freeport and Clinton, Iowa.

IN BRIEF URBANA-CHAMPAIGN

Institution suspends Sierra Leone programs over Ebola URBANA (AP) – The University of Illinois announced it has suspended study-abroad programs in Sierra Leone and plans extra screening for students arriving from West Africa in response to the ongoing Ebola outbreak.

Only a handful of the 3,500 new international students expected at the Urbana-Champaign campus this fall are from the area affected by the Ebola outbreak, Martin McFarlane told The News-Gazette in Champaign. He is associate director of International Student and Scholar Services at the campus.

Health care workers screen all new international students. But West African students will go through an additional interview and educational process, Dr. Robert Palinkas of the campus’

McKinley Health Center said. “I think it’s always wise to prepare,� he said, adding that campus officials aren’t too worried.

More than 900 people have died of Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since the outbreak began in March.

Programs for students in Sierra Leone will be suspended for at least this fall, said Bo White, who is assistant director for international health and safety at the campus. No University of Illinois students were studying in West Africa this summer.

Palinkas said he has taken a few phone calls from worried parents, some of whom wanted quarantine measures to be taken. “There are some people who just want to have everybody in some sort of a dome,� he said.

EDITORIAL

Let Lincoln still serve kids T

he last day of classes at Lincoln School in Dixon took place about 2 months ago.

Leaders of the Dixon School District decided to close the longtime elementary school to save money in tough financial times.

What generally happens to shuttered schools in rural areas of Illinois?

In a previous editorial, we referred to a study by the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs that addressed the question.

The research report found that former school buildings were converted to various uses, including: Community centers; Multi-use recreational facilities; Antique malls; Museums; Retail facilities;

THE READER’S VOICE

Profit incentive questionable in this economy LEONARD SHEAFFER Dixon

The job creators are the people with money, in response to the July 31 John Spaine letter “The numbers show influence of the wealthy.�

For jobs to be created, there are two groups that need to have money – the purchasers and the producers. Just because someone has money

to buy a product, it will not be produced unless someone has a reason to produce it.

Jobs are created when a person or company with money (either their own or borrowed) uses that money to produce products or services that another individual with money is willing to purchase.

The incentive to produce is called profit.

(This seems to be a bad word to some people.)

The problem in this economy is that the profit incentive is question-

able. The administration is increasing the cost of producing products through its policies of increased energy costs, health care mandates, environmental and OSHA regulations, tax policies, etc.

The producers are not willing to risk their capital as readily in this economy because there is risk in making a profit. It is called a loss.

We all (including the wealthy) have two ways to put money back into the economy. We can spend it on goods and

services, or we can invest it to produce more goods and services.

We all work for a profit.

Wages are the profit for one’s labor.

If one invests in stocks, bonds, or a retirement program, this money is probably being used to produce goods and services. What is gained on an investment is a profit.

The reason for high unemployment is that the job creators are not willing to risk losing their capital in this uncertain economy.

DON’T GET ME WRONG. I love the fairs.

As a teenager, I showed cattle and hogs.

As a parent, I’ve carried each of my three daughters on my shoulders through every nook and cranny of the State Fairgrounds.

Just last week, my 83-year-old father was regaling me with stories of how he and his best friend from high school showed Duroc hogs at the State Fair back in 1950.

He tells me the fair’s hog barn looks just the same as it did 64 years ago. And

folks, it smells just the same, too.

But what really stinks are these deficits.

Hosting fairs and festivals is not a core government function.

Springfield.

Sorry. Fairs are nice, but not something in which government should be involved.

They have known that for quite some time in the Lone Star State.

The State Fair of Texas is operated by a non-profit corporation that manages to take in about $8 million more than it spends each year. That money gets spent on improving the Dallas city park where the fair is held.

So, state fairs can break even. They can even turn a profit.

At a time when Illinois state government has the worst credit rating in the nation and is paying its bills months late, it’s time to take a serious look at making the fairs self-sufficient.

SPRINGFIELD – Twenty years ago, the state implemented reforms designed to make the Illinois State Fair break even.

They failed. Big time.

The fair has been as sure-fire a loser as a kid playing a carnival game.

Well, maybe that’s not fair – every once in a while, a youngster actually wins.

Not so with the fair. It’s a carnie’s dream: a loser that won’t quit.

It and its southern cousin, the DuQuoin State Fair, haven’t broke even once in the past two decades.

State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick told me she doesn’t know whether it’s possible for the State Fair to operate in the black.

Leave it to a government bureaucrat to think losing money is always an option.

During the past 20 years, the state fairs have lost $71.2 million.

And Illinois taxpayers have paid those deficits.

That’s money the state could have used to pay for something really important.

Instead, it has been spent on a couple of festivals.

That was the gist of an argument heard by thenUniversity of Oklahoma student Harold Rance Beckenholdt. It was an attempt by college staff to dissuade him from following a path to “heartbreak� in the acting business.

Beckenholdt, who later changed his name to Rance Howard, became known for roles as an actor and writer in movies and TV throughout the 20th century.

His career began in 1956 with his debut in “Frontier Woman.�

Roles progressed to “The Music Man� in 1962, and to “The Andy Griffith Show,� “Cool Hand Luke,� and “Bonanza� in following years.

The father of actor/ director Ron Howard and actor Clint Howard stayed relevant in his career with roles in “Cocoon,� “Apollo 13,� “Independence Day,� and more recently, “Nebraska.�

Although he was bound to rub shoulders with celebrities at fundraisers and award shows, the 85-year-old never let the gold, glitter or glam of that life get to him. The man Howard is today has a lot to do with where he came from: Agriculture and agronomy run deep through his veins.

You could hear him smile over the phone as he reminisced. “She was the type of person who always tried to do everything for everyone, kept the family in line, and was a remarkably hard worker. She was a special person.�

Born in 1942 in Moline, for 20 years Karen was an office manager for Donohoo Steel Treating Co., in Bettendorf, Iowa. She retired early because of her illness.

Burke would make the 4-hour round-trip to see her as often as possible, and on his way home, often would stop in Dixon.

Within a few months, his mom, who stood all of about 5-foot-2, had fallen to well below 100 pounds, he said. “She was just so tiny.

She didn’t have anything to fight it.�

The stress surrounding his mom’s diagnosis was overwhelming, he said, and so one day, on a trip back to Aurora, he detoured to visit the John Deere Historic Site; maybe to cope with the emotional deluge and to “perhaps delay the inevitable.�

Throughout the tour, Burke identified with Deere’s motivation for self-improvement, and he became enamored with the story of Deere’s early life, he said.

Deere was a blacksmith who discovered that the plow design used on farms in the east wouldn’t work on the Midwest’s chunky clay soil. He grappled with economic turmoil in an era when the nation faced an uncertain future. His father disappeared at sea. “[The tour] was fantastic,�

Burke said, adding that he

Back home to Aurora, he called his mom. He wondered why Deere’s upbringing hadn’t yet been told in a way that could reach a large audience. “Why don’t you do it?�

Karen asked. “Yeah, right,� Burke said as he laughed and shrugged off the idea.

That exchange turned out to be one of their last. By the time tests shed light on what was going on with his mom, the cancer had spread to her brain. About 2 weeks later, about 5 months after the initial diagnosis, Karen died. She was 65.

A great story The day after her death, Burke told Jennifer he wanted to work on the screenplay. The focus he placed on writing became a sort of therapy, he said. “Now she likes it, but for a while, she thought I was absolutely crazy.� “Screenwriting for Dummies� was one of the first resources he used to help him get started, he said, working in business development by day and on the screenplay at night. “The first draft was pret-

ty horrible,� Burke confessed. “It took about 4 or 5 months [to assemble].�

Several Hollywood studios rejected the script, but Burke, like Deere, never accepted defeat. “[John Deere’s life] is a great story of Americana ... of overcoming challenges.�

It would be 2 to 3 years more before he felt confident enough to make it a movie, he said.

Fourth Wall Films, operated by husband-andwife Kelly and Tammy Rundle is making the documentary.

Kelly, 55, grew up in the Quad Cities; coincidentally, his dad was a barber at John Deere Inc. headquarters more than 30 years. “So, I’ve heard a lot about [the company] over the years,� he said with a laugh.

Tammy’s father, too, had a connection to the company: He was a welder at a Deere factory in Waterloo, Iowa, for more than 30 years. “She ... would have grown up with a significant awareness of the company. ‌ Probably not John Deere the man,â€?

Kelly said. “It’s been overlooked. A lot of people

focus on his life from the time of the plow’s invention to today.�

After Fourth Wall and Burke connected, they approached John Deere Inc. to iron out legal details and identify anything that could derail or halt production, he said. “A lot of people know about John Deere, but they don’t understand that it’s not just a brand ‌There’s a person with a fascinating story.â€?

At this point, fundraising is ongoing, and the documentary is in pre-production. The team plans to film at the John Deere site in Grand Detour next summer or fall. “I think John Deere belongs on a long list of American innovators and inventors. ‌ People like Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Thomas Edison,â€? Kelly said. “He’s not usually included on those lists.â€?

He said sharing awareness of Deere’s early life and his accomplishments is a primary goal of the project. It could just be that his story hasn’t been told in a way that captured the public’s attention. “That’s what we hope to do.�

Howard said. “It’s something that I could relate to and identify with ‌ My dad used to take his plowshares to the blacksmith to get them sharpened a couple times a year.â€?

Howard’s dad used to work the farm with a walking plow, guided by two handles and pulled by a team of horses. He thought tractors weren’t a good idea because the wheels would pack the ground, Howard said.

Although wheat was their cash crop, corn sometimes would be cultivated.“You have a great a corn climate there [in the Sauk Valley],� he said.

Dear Ex, Thank you for writing.

The saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;men are from Mars, women are from Venusâ&#x20AC;? aptly applies to the responses I received from my readers about that letter.

Read on: Dear Abby, Most guys may keep track of how often theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re having sex, although more likely itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how long since the last time, or maybe how many times a week. But this guy is an idiot for letting his wife know

that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tracking it, let alone that he has a goal of 100 times. Hopefully heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not procreating, just â&#x20AC;&#x153;recreatingâ&#x20AC;? in bed.

Abby, I thought you knew men better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fifty great versus 100 â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;so-soâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; timesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are you kidding?

Surely you know the saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even bad sex is pretty good sex.â&#x20AC;? We guys will take it any way, any how, anytime. For us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all good, all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dan in Irving, Texas Dear Abby, Unfortunately, my husband also likes to keep a

Woods should wait ’til next year

L

OUISVILLE, Ky. – A fan wearing a Chicago Cubs hat caught in the crush around the third tee at Valhalla Golf Club raised both hands above his head to show off an Illinois license plate. It read: “TIGR WDS.” For those who questioned the wisdom of Woods returning to practice Wednesday, just 3 days after barely being able to tie his shoes when a bad back forced him to quit his last tournament mid-round, it seemed like an omen – and not a particularly good one. The unofficial motto of those sad-sack Cubs, after all, is “Wait ’til next year.”

I’m not a doctor, but it sounds like good advice to me.

Woods has played only nine full competitive rounds since surgery at the end of March to relieve pressure on a pinched nerve. His best finish this season is a tie for 25th. He withdrew from two other tournaments and missed the cut in a third.

“It was a different pain than what I had been experiencing, so I knew it wasn’t the site of the surgery. It was different; it was just the sacrum,” Woods said of the injury he suffered during the final round of the Bridgestone Invitational on Sunday, on an awkward shot out of a bunker.

Sterling native Tyler Loos has suffered broken legs in back-to-back seasons for the Northern Illinois Huskies. But he’s determined to make the most of his final year of eligibility in DeKalb, after missing all or parts of the last three seasons due to injury.

Back in the trenches

Sterling’s Loos ready for final season with Huskies

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5551

Tyler Loos file

DEKALB – Toward the end of Wednesday’s Northern Illinois University football practice, second-year head coach Rod Carey had an announcement.

“It’s the first day in pads, tempers are flaring a little bit, and that’s good,” he said.

“Let’s go first-team offense against firstteam defense, on the goal line, and see if the offense can get a first down.”

That was the signal for 2010 Sterling graduate Tyler Loos to take the field. A 6-foot-5, 302-pound fifth-year senior, he’s been a fixture at left tackle for a good chunk of the past two seasons. He’s back for one more.

On Wednesday, the first-team offense went 2-for-2 in acquiring first downs. Both of the clinching plays were runs up the middle, and Loos successfully bulled his man out of the way on each occasion.

High school: Sterling, class of 2010 College: Northern Illinois Sport: Football Height: 6-5 Weight: 302 FYI: 2-year starter at left tackle for Huskies. ... All-conference first team as junior, second team as sophomore. ... Missed all or parts of last 3 seasons with injuries. ... Will graduate with degree in finance in December.

It’s a trend he hopes will continue.

It likely will, provided he’s able to stay on the field. That’s no small matter.

After redshirting as a freshman in 2010, Loos missed the entire 2011 season after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee the first week of preseason training camp.

In 2012, Loos started the first 11 games at left tackle before breaking his right tibia and

fibula in the waning moments of a game against Toledo. He missed the team’s last three games, including an Orange Bowl loss to Florida State. Surgery left him with a metal rod in his right leg that is there to this day.

In 2013, Loos started the first nine games before going down with a broken left fibula, dislocated left ankle and torn deltoid ligament against Massachusetts. Again, he missed the rest of the season.

“It’s one of the worst feelings you could have,” said Loos, when asked about missing the end of the last two seasons. “I’ve been unlucky, but I’ll keep working hard so I can play the greatest game there is.”

For Loos, the start of the 2014 season began almost immediately after he was hurt against UMass. He had surgery the next day, was stuck in Boston for 2 more agonizing days, then came back to DeKalb.

Relief appearance relieves pressure Dunn pleased with chance to pitch

BY COLLEEN KANE Chicago Tribune

AP

Tiger Woods chips during a practice round for the PGA Championship on Wednesday at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky. Woods was back just 3 days after withdrawing from his last tournament with back spasms.

Robin Ventura described the exchange like it was the closing of a long-awaited business transaction.

Sometime in the sixth or seventh inning of the already lost White Sox game against the Rangers on Tuesday, the Sox manager locked eyes with designated hitter Adam Dunn, and Dunn acknowledged the unspoken thought with a nod. Dunn was going to pitch for the first time since he was in high school.

The Sox 16-0 loss to the Rangers wasn’t a joking matter, but Ventura’s decision to put Dunn on the mound when the Sox were down by 15 runs provided

Iowa left tackle Brandon Scherff (68) lines up against LSU during the Outback Bowl on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day in Tampa, Fla. Scherff could become the third Hawkeye offensive lineman in 6 years to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Hawkeye making waves Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scherff has become sensation on line

BY LUKE MEREDITH !0 3PORTS 7RITER

IOWA CITY, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brandon Scherff garnered national attention in the most unlikely way imaginable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least for an Iowa player.

Scherff went viral on Twitter.

Coach Kirk Ferentz doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even allow his players to use the social media site. But Hawkeyes strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle posted a video last month of Scherff performing three lifts of 443 pounds from his knees to his shoulders as teammates watched in amazement.

It was a 30-second glimpse into why many consider Scherff the best lineman in the country.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blend of strength and athleticism is why heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to be the third Iowa tackle in 6 years to be taken in the first round of the NFL Draft. Scherff was expected to be a first-rounder after last season, but he surprised many by returning to school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought he was one of the better players you could find in college football a year ago.

And we expect him to be a better player this year, and I think he expects that from himself,â&#x20AC;?

Ferentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already awfully good, but I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a chance to be one of the best players to ever play here.â&#x20AC;?

Those who know Scherff best arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t surprised at how good heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become. Physical gifts aside, he has an intense work ethic, too.

Pick

Scherff grew up in Denison, a small town in western Iowa, playing nearly every sport his high school offered.

He was an all-state baseball player, an all-conference basketball player, and a state champion in the shot put. He even earned a varsity letter for tennis as a freshman, but football was always Scherffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future.

Scherff was so athletic that Denison used him at quarterback as a sophomore, and as a junior he caught five touchdown passes. He eventually grew into a star lineman, and by the start of 2012, he was Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting tackle.

Scherff broke his right fibula in a blowout loss to Penn State midway through that season, an injury that contributed to Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lateyear collapse. He bounced back in 2013, earning first-team All-Big Ten honors from league coaches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As strong as he is, the most impressive qualities when you look at him from a strength and conditioning standpoint is how athletic he is and how well he

runs,â&#x20AC;? said Doyle, who noted that Scherffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;hang cleanâ&#x20AC;? weights were the highest in his 16 years at Iowa.

Scherff played so well as a junior that nearly everyone assumed heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d jump to the NFL. But Scherff was always leaning toward staying for his senior season, and he confirmed that decision after a brief chat with Kirk and Brian Ferentz, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive line coach.

The move thrilled Scherffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach, who half-jokingly called him the most important recruit of the class of 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can improve so much in all aspects. Run blocking, pass blocking. Just trying to become a better leader and a better player overall,â&#x20AC;? Scherff said.

Scherffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s progression from small-town recruit to a potential All-American will long be used as an example of why Iowa is one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top developmental programs.

But according to Brian Ferentz, Scherffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is largely a product of his own skills and drive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For me to sit up there and pretend that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve coached him to do anything is kind of silly. Because, with all due respect to my wife, I think Brandon would be the same player if she was coaching him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t what she does for a living,â&#x20AC;? Brian Ferentz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of it is physical, and what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been blessed with. But the other part of that is the way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embraced the work that it takes.â&#x20AC;?

The major thing Huskies. with injuries is range of Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s added about motion, so you can stay 15 pounds of â&#x20AC;&#x153;mostly flexible and be more muscle,â&#x20AC;? he says, and agile out on the field.â&#x20AC;? his bench press has Loos went through increased by about 20 a regular practice on pounds, to 390.

On Thursfeeling pretty good for day, more drills and this season.â&#x20AC;? conditioning. He hopes Carey, who was Loosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be going full strength offensive line coach by sometime in the next before taking over as week or two. head coach in December When the season of 2012, is thrilled to have opener against PresbyLoos back in the fold. terian rolls around on Aug. 28, however, Loos Loos was a first-team all-conference performer wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be thinking about his health. in 2013, and will anchor â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m out there an offensive line that has and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going live, I 103 career starts. really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about â&#x20AC;&#x153;He needs to play at it.â&#x20AC;? Loos said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somethe high level he can,â&#x20AC;? body gets close to my Carey said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legs and I kind of feel way ahead of where something, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll admit I he was last year at this CONTINUED FROM B1

get scared for a second, but once game time comes, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get over that and I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be thinking about it.â&#x20AC;?

Carey stressed there will be no coddling of Loos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is a violent sport,â&#x20AC;? Carey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of collisions between big men trying to clear holes for little men. Yeah, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take some precautions with Tyler, but when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the field, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to go as an offensive lineman.â&#x20AC;?

The big question for the Huskies is who will replace Jordan Lynch at quarterback. Lynch guided the team to a combined 24-4 record the past two seasons, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now trying to make the Chicago Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roster.

Three signal callers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anthony Maddie, Drew Hare, and Matt McIntosh â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have been getting first-team reps early in the preseason. Nobody at NIU, including Loos, was saying who would get the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hopefully somebody separates himself soon,â&#x20AC;?

Loos said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good battle.â&#x20AC;?

In the Mid-American Conference Media Day on July 23, NIU was tabbed to finish second

in the West Division, behind Toledo, in a poll of the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coaches.

Being an underdog is just fine with Loos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen some people think we wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as good without Jordan,â&#x20AC;?

Loos said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of guys returning on offense. Our offense is going to be fine. On defense, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some new schemes.

Those guys are playing tough, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be solid, too. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a shot to go to the MAC championship game again, and go to another big bowl.â&#x20AC;?

Loos is on track to graduate with a degree in finance in December.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taking just two classes this semester â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a required class in international finance, and an elective in portfolio management.

Loos applied for and was accepted into the portfolio management class. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s among a group of nine students who will decide where to invest about $300,000 of NIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money, and the teacher will execute the transactions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It should be a pretty interesting class,â&#x20AC;? Loos said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I look forward to learning about.â&#x20AC;?

3EATTLE Â&#x17E; X CLINCHED PLAYOFF SPOT Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s games Phoenix at San Antonio, 7 p.m.

Chicago at Minnesota, 7 p.m.

Carlos Gonzalez homered, doubled and singled in his return to the lineup, and the Colorado Rockies snapped a five-game losing streak with a 13-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday in Denver.

Corey Dickerson had four hits, drove in three, and was a homer shy of the cycle. Mike McKenry also homered for Colorado.

The Rockies hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won since beating the Cubs last week at Wrigley Field, but ended their struggles with a big sixth inning against starter Jake Arrieta (6-3). Trailing 4-3, the first seven batters had hits, including Gonzalezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 11th homer, a two-run shot that gave the Rockies a 6-4 lead.

Arrieta left after allowing pinchhitter Brandon Barnesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; RBI single that made it 9-4. Kyuji Fujikawa came on and allowed the final run before retiring the side.

Arrieta, who had not allowed more than four runs in a game this season, gave up nine runs and 13 hits. The nine earned runs allowed matched a career high.

Rangers 3, White Sox 1: Adam Rosales homered twice in a game for the first time in his career, and Nick Tepesch pitched scoreless ball into the sixth inning, leading Texas over Chris Sale and the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.

The Rangers, who began the day with baseballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst record, have won consecutive games for the first time since June 27-28. They routed the White Sox 16-0 on Tuesday.

Rosales hit a two-run homer in the second, and added a solo shot in the seventh. He entered with only one homer this season.

Tepesch (4-7) gave up six hits in 5 2/3 innings. He had lost four straight decisions, and skipped a turn because of a sore left knee.

Sale (10-2) allowed three hits in six innings, striking out nine. His only other loss this season came on June 12.

Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayan Viciedo homered in the seventh.

Red Sox 2, Cardinals 1: Xander Bogaerts drove in both runs, including a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, as Boston won in St. Louis.

The matchup of Shelby Miller and Joe Kelly, former teammates who were each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best man, was a high-quality draw. Each allowed a run in seven innings.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think it would be this big of a deal,â&#x20AC;?

Dunn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought it would just be a big deal to me.â&#x20AC;?

Dunn left the clubhouse early Tuesday night as he said he typically does before day games, and so he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t available to the media until he held court at his locker Wednesday morning, throwing out one-liners like he did pitches in his outing, which for the record resulted in one run, two hits and a walk.

On topping out at 83 mph on the radar gun: â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 83, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got 10 more in there.â&#x20AC;?

On his pitching plan: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told Robin, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to go out there to see how hard I can throw. I just want to throw strikes and more importantly try to break somebodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bat.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

On fatigue from his 22-pitch outing: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only fatigue I felt was in my left butt cheek from riding my bike up here.â&#x20AC;?

On if he regretted taking on the job by pitch No. 20: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Actually I did regret pitch 20 because I shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve struck him out. Threw a stupid pitch. [No.] 22 shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been a homer.â&#x20AC;?

On what the Rangers said was his â&#x20AC;&#x153;power sinkerâ&#x20AC;?: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gravity, no doubt. The slower the better.â&#x20AC;?

On jokingly slamming

his glove after throwing a ball on his second pitch: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Strike. If Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hitting, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s called.â&#x20AC;?

On the Rangersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Adrian Beltre saying they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge the mound if he had hit someone: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know I threw one at Elvis [Andrus] on purpose. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to hit. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like Chris Sale. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too skinny, too hard to hit.â&#x20AC;?

Ventura added to the comedy routine, saying the Rangers couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t charge the mound because â&#x20AC;&#x153;heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d swallow them.â&#x20AC;?

Dunn was back at designated hitter for Wednesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s series finale against the Rangers, but he said he was happy to cross the appearance off his wish list.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to do anything other than make a bad situation as good as it can be,â&#x20AC;? Dunn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting your butt kicked 15-0, and the fans that are there and the guys that are there, everybody is waiting for it to be over. Then all of the sudden, that happens. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I got to do it.â&#x20AC;?

ABOVE: Devin Hartman (second from left) hits his ball Tuesday on the second hole of Lake Carroll Golf Course, as his father, Dale (far right) and brothers Zeke (far left) and Ty (second from right) look on.

BELOW: Dale Hartman drives his ball on the first hole at Lake Carroll on Tuesday afternoon.

M

ere quarters were at stake, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have never known it Tuesday afternoon at Lake Carroll Golf Course near Lanark.

In the last installment of Links With Locals for the summer, I teed it up with Dale Hartman, who built a powerhouse baseball program at Byron High School, where heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taught for the past 25 years.

Hartman is now an assistant baseball coach at Eastland, where he coached his three sons â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Zeke, 21; Ty, 19; and Devin, 18 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while they were Cougars.

The five of us played at Lake Carroll, and our game of choice was skins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; beat everybody else on a given hole, and a skin is yours.

There was a little action early. Ty birdied the first hole for one skin, Zeke birdied the second for another, and I birdied the sixth hole to rack up four skins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that hole, plus three carryovers.

That was it, however, until the 12th hole, when Dale faced a 4-footer for the princely sum of six skins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.50 from each of his playing partners, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re keeping score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the pressure builds,â&#x20AC;? Zeke intoned.

Dale, standing over the putt, backed away to give it one more look from a different angle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And the pressure really builds,â&#x20AC;? Zeke said, bringing a few wry smiles from everybody in the group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; except Dale.

Long story short â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dale missed the putt, and Ty went on to be the big winner on the day after nabbing the only par on the 13th hole. It was worth seven skins, and resulted in his collecting a whole $5 at the end of the day.

My guess is the money

new things that we have to learn out there.

CONTINUED FROM B1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Joey [LaCava, Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; caddie] has been here â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once [my trainer] put it back in, the spasms went on the ground. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got a pretty good handle on away, and from there, it,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll run I started getting some through some more of it range of motion.â&#x20AC;?

He has always said win- as we go.â&#x20AC;?

At this point, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth ning majors is what matnoting that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the ters most, but his chances of sneaking past the field Tiger Woods of 2000, either.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a psychologist, either, so I can only speculate about what Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; motivation might be for rushing back to tournament play after the rough patch he has endured.

But my guess is that at age 38, Woods is increasingly nervous about the game he helped grow moving on without him.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already watched a generation of youngsters he inspired to take up the game blow their tee shots past his.

It must be an unsettling feeling.

Which useful card does partner hold?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Michelangelo said, “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”

At the bridge table, though, sometimes you must decide between setting your sights high or low. How does that apply to this deal? South is in three no-trump and West leads a fourth-highest spade six.

What happens after that?

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade (given the first trick), three hearts, two diamonds and one club. He hopes that the club finesse is working. But even if it loses, West might not find the right defense.

South takes East’s spade jack with his king, leads a heart

to dummy’s king, and runs the club 10. It loses, but West is now in a quandary. Who has the spade queen? East would have played the jack at trick one with either only the jack

or the queen-jack. And South would have won with his king, whether or not he also had the queen.

If South still has the spade queen and another spade, West needs to shift to a diamond in the hope that his partner can win with the ace and return a spade through South. But if East has the spade queen, that suit can be run now. Should West play his partner for a queen or an ace?

Do not be greedy; set your sights low. West should cash the spade ace. Perhaps South started with king-queendoubleton. Here, though, East should throw (unblock) his queen under partner’s ace.

By applying the Rule of Eleven at trick one (11 - 6 = 5), East should know that South started with only one spade higher than the six, the king he has already played. © 2014 UFS

Astrograph Celebrate only after you’ve attained your goals Thursday, August 7, 2014 Don’t take a relaxed attitude when it comes to your future.

Hard work and dedication will be needed, no matter what your goals are. Once you have found your inspiration, direct your energies toward fulfilling your dreams. Make a point of celebrating only after you’ve attained your goals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Get ready to enjoy interacting with others. Your charismatic personality will bring you lots of favorable attention. Indulge your romantic side and plan an unforgettable adventure with someone special.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -You will receive no sympathy if you are being difficult or fretful.

A moody temperament will make it hard for others to relate to you.

Keep your problems a secret and avoid interference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Showcase your talents. You will move forward once others are aware of what you have to offer.

Interact with people who can help you reach your objectives.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Consider the consequences of your possible actions and take

the help that someone is offering you. There is only so much you can do on your own. Don’t let your stubbornness get in the way of success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Rein in your emotions today. You will regret it if you act in haste. Staying calm and focused will help you avoid making careless or costly mistakes.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Sooner or later, you will have to face the music and deal with a troubling situation headon. Gather pertinent information in order to resolve matters swiftly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Spend your time wisely.

Keeping busy will bring you rewards. By volunteering for a worthy cause, you will improve your community and make some long-lasting friendships.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- This is not a choice time for a serious commitment. Do your research. Refrain from making important decisions until conditions are better and you are sure you can honor the position you take.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Love is in the stars. You are at your best when taking a leadership role. Someone with the potential to affect your plans will take an interest in your abilities.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Go over your financial records carefully. If you have misestimated your budget, make the necessary adjustments quickly to avoid penalties or blemishes on your reputation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Resist the urge to stretch the truth. It may be difficult at first, but you need to set the record straight before you are faced with an embarrassing consequence.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t let your fears hold you back. You may suffer a small setback, but if you are persistent, you will succeed. Have faith in yourself.
