Veterans and Sauk Valley Community College students Patrick Carroll (left), Danny Royer and Ashley DeArmitt talk about their plans after graduation from Sauk. The group was involved in a roundtable discussion about veterans services with U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, on Thursday afternoon at the college.

‘Such a breeze’ at Sauk Vets tell rep program made transition to school easy

BY JERMAINE PIGEE jpigee@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5525

DIXON – When Ashley DeArmitt left the Navy in 2012, she was nervous about transitioning into the real world.

“When I first wanted to get into the nursing program, I didn’t know anything about benefits or anything,” said

DeArmitt, a second-year student at Sauk Valley Community College.

DeArmitt, 25, spent 4 years in the Navy as a quartermaster.

When she found out about the veteran services program at Sauk, she said her mind was put at ease.

“I was so surprised, because everything has been such a breeze,” said DeArmitt, who

has been in the program both of her years.

For the past 5 years, Victory Media, a media entity for military personnel transitioning into civilian life, has named the college a military-friendly school.

That caught the attention of U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline.

U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos

STERLING – The mud has been flying from both camps of late in the 17th Congressional District race, but Republican Bobby Schilling said he wants to refocus on the issues.

Schilling was at the Sauk Valley Media office Thursday to discuss his campaign to regain the seat he lost to Cheri Bustos in 2012.

In early May, Schilling challenged the incumbent to a series of 14 debates – one in each county of the 17th district. The Colona resident said he is disappointed that only one debate has been agreed upon. That event will be held sometime in October in Moline, and carried by TV station WQAD. “She has been unwilling to get away from the 5-second sound bites,” Schilling said of the East Moline Democrat.

Bustos spent about 30 minutes Thursday afternoon with some of the students. She discussed support services and programs available to student veterans. “When there is a program within our congressional district that receives national recognition, I want to know about it,� said Bustos, who is seeking re-election from the 17th Congressional District on Nov. 4. “Especially when it involves veterans. Our goal is to find out about the program and what makes it successful.�

Victory Media honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools in the country that help America’s service members, veterans, and spouses as students and ensure their success on campus.

Bustos asked questions, offered encouragement, and listened closely as students and Kristina Fordyce, coordinator of Veterans Services, talked about what Sauk can do for veterans.

Fordyce said the college is dedicated to giving students all the individual attention they need. “I sit down with each student when they come in to apply, and I talk about the different options and benefits available to them,� she said. “We walk them through the application process, and we advise them about the different programs we have.�

Fordyce says the program’s main purpose is to help students transition into college from the military. “A lot of it is confusion

Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, on Thursday in Dixon. and not understanding eligibility, because a lot of them don’t have any clue what they are eligible for,� she said. “We offer the guidance they need to get from point A to point B.�

There are between 180 and 200 veterans attending Sauk.

Patrick Carroll, 26, spent 4 years in the Air Force as a senior airman. If it wasn’t for the services provided at Sauk, he said things might have been different for him. “I may have went straight to work and never attended school if it wasn’t for this program,� he said. “[Fordyce] knows all about the different benefits and programs, and she helped us out big time.�

Bustos said she plans to share the college’s success with other schools. “When I visit veteran groups, and when I meet veterans in this region, I’ll tell them there are people at Sauk Valley dedicated to making sure you are successful,� she said.

Sheriff: Fatal crash caused by speeding 17-year-old girl died in single-car wreck

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com

Gov. Pat Quinn (left) and Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner (right) answer questions during the Metropolitan Planning Council’s annual luncheon Thursday in Chicago. Each appeared separately before the group for 25-minute moderated question-and-answer sessions.

Foes rip each other on hiring, taxes Candidates take jabs during forum

scheduled before the Nov. 4 election.

While the Labor Day weekend typically marks the start of election season, the bitterly contested race already is well underway.

Quinn paints the multimillionaire Rauner as out-oftouch with the middle class and says he got rich – and bought nine “mansions� – by putting profit ahead of people. Rauner has tried to chip away at Quinn’s portrayal of himself as a reformer, saying the Chicago Democrat has continued the cronyism and corrupt practices of his predecessor, now-imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Rauner hit on that theme again Thursday, saying dozens

CHICAGO (AP) – The candidates for Illinois governor sharpened their attacks on each other Thursday, with Gov. Pat Quinn saying Bruce Rauner’s plan to tax some services will help wealthy people like Rauner but hurt hardworking families. The Republican businessman called Quinn’s efforts to address improper political hiring “a charade.�

Quinn and Rauner separately addressed a Metropolitan Planning Council forum in Chicago, one of roughly a half-dozen joint appearances

of people who were improperly hired by the Illinois Department of Transportation because of their political connections are still working for the state. “This already looks like another broken promise from Pat Quinn,� Rauner said. “You’ve got to wonder if this is just another charade.�

Last week, an Office of the Executive Inspector General review concluded more than 250 IDOT “staff assistants� got jobs in the past decade based on clout, when the positions should have been publicly available to any candidate and filled based on qualifications. Quinn’s administration announced last week it was laying off 58 people who still held those jobs.

But they didn’t get rid of others who have moved into other positions still on the state payroll.

Those include two former employees of ex-U.S. Rep. Philip Hare, a Democrat who served the 17th Congressional District for two terms until he was defeated by Bobby Schilling in the 2010 general election. The workers were hired

by IDOT as staff assistants in 2010. Rather than follow typical state hiring procedures, IDOT gave them jobs using an exemption that is supposed to be used only when the job involves policymaking or confidential information. Their jobs involved planting trees and implementing training classes, the review found.

LYNDON – Built 120 years ago, the bridge that spans the Rock River from Lyndon to Prophetstown almost never existed.

In 1886, when plans to build the bridge first materialized, the funding didn’t. After construction began, work was halted for 8 years

before it was completed.

Cars haven’t been able to cross it since 1980, and in the ’90s, officials tried to burn it down altogether. But thanks to local efforts and a petition started by the Lyndon Area Historical Society, the bridge still stands. On May 9, 2003, it was officially placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The historical land-

mark is the centerpiece, and site, of Bridge Bash, a fundraiser for the Lyndon Area Historical Society on Oct. 5.

With food, fun, games, and a photographer, the Lyndon Area Historical Society invites the public to enjoy a day hanging out on one of the oldest remaining bridges in Whiteside County.

SAVANNA – The Carroll County teenager who was killed in a crash June 20 was speeding, the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release Thursday.

According to the report, Valerie Johnson, 17, was westbound on U.S. Route 52 near Jacobstown Road, between Savanna and Mount Carroll, when the passenger-side tires of her car veered onto the gravel shoulder.

She over-corrected and lost control of her car, which traveled across both lanes and entered a grove of trees, hitting one on the driver’s side, the report said.

The speed limit was 55; the release did not report her estimated speed. She was wearing a seat belt.

Drugs and alcohol were not a factor, nor was she using a cellphone at the time, the news release said.

Johnson was an aspiring band director who played clarinet and alto sax. She was a member of the Dixon municipal band for about a year, and would have been a senior at West Carroll High School this fall. She also was a member of the Sauk Valley Community College Band.

Mary A. Dixon SEATTLE – Mary Annette Trombold Dixon, 96, of Seattle, formerly of Dixon, passed away Sunday, July 20, 2014, only 5 days before her 97th birthday.

Mary was born July 25, 1917, in Cherokee County, Kansas, the daughter of Augustas Trombold, a blacksmith and lead miner, and her “spirited, can-do anything� mother, Bessie Adele (Dickson) Trombold.

Mary moved to Dixon as a young child. She married John Dixon on Aug. 29, 1942. They lived in Dixon until John’s death in 1988. In 1993, she moved to the Seattle area to be close to her family.

After completing her education at the University of Illinois, and Maryland Institute of Art, Baltimore, Mary worked as an elementary education teacher at Lincoln, Washington, and St. Mary schools in Dixon. In addition to being a schoolteacher, she continued to study piano and the pipe organ, and teach piano and art on a private basis, well into her 80s.

The small community on the Rock River was the essence of Mary’s life. Swimming and picnics at Lowell Park, water skiing, or canoeing around the island were among her favorite memories. She was 75 years old the last time she went water skiing on the Rock River. Mary was very active in the life of the First Presbyterian Church, and was serious about exploring the world to better understand her faith and other cultures. As a result of these interests, she developed a specialized travelogue, “Pathways of Paul,� which followed the life of the disciple Paul. In 1998, she started a very successful art program at Providence Point, Issaquah, Washington, which continues today.

Mary’s immense spirit for life was con-

stantly noted by family, friends, and caregivers, and was evident even in her final days.

Her intense love of life, helpful kind nature, and youthful sense of humor were evident to the very end. In her final weeks of life, she was still at the piano, or if there was music on, she was looking for someone to help her get up for a little dancing.

Mary is survived by one daughter, Annette Dixon of Seattle; two sons, Tim Dixon of Bainbridge Island, Washington, and Greg Dixon of Whidbey Island, Washington; seven grandchildren; and seven great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Judge John Dixon; her parents; and one brother, Charles D. Trombold.

Her extended family, residing in the Seattle area, celebrated her life at a large family gathering on the weekend of what would have been her 97th birthday. Private inurnment of cremains will be at Oakwood Cemetery in Dixon, followed by a lighthearted gathering for family and friends from 2 to 4 p.m. Sept.

13 at Timber Creek Golf Club in Dixon. We know she would want us to be joyful, and in fact, have some fun talking casually about the beautiful life she lived so well. To assist the family in planning, please contact Tim at timjdixon@msn.com if you will be attending the gathering at Timber Creek. PrestonSchilling Funeral Home in Dixon handled local arrangements.

Mary was a volunteer at Dixon Parks and Recreation, and the Dixon Humane Society, and would prefer a donation to either in lieu of sending flowers.

A new focus for the riverfront The Lovett concert was scheduled to be part of a 2-day music festival, marking the 5-year anniversary of Heritage Crossing at the downtown riverfront.

The festival was announced less than a

month after a merger between Main Street and the Riverfront Commission, which gave Main Street the day-to-day operations and event planning for Heritage Crossing.

When the concert was announced, Main Street Executive Director Josh Albrecht said the goal was to have three big events – similar to the Lovett concert – at the riverfront each year, with the Petunia Festival being one.

Last week, a Venetian Night was held at the riverfront for the first time.

Bustos: No one is asking about debates DEBATE

CONTINUED FROM A1

“I would love to have town hall-style debates, because I believe commercials can deceive the voters,� Schilling said.

Bustos said she has been pounding the pavement in all 14 counties, focused on listening to the concerns of the constituents. “What people are talking to me about are jobs, Social Security, Medicare, and how we are going to balance the budget,� she said. “Not a single person has asked me about the number of debates we are doing.�

In their 2012 race, the candidates had televised debates in Peoria, Moline and Rockford.

In the meantime, the talking points have turned increasingly negative.

Beginning Aug. 20, Schilling turned up the heat by publicly stating that Bustos should honor a promise she made to constituents while running for office 2 years ago.

Schilling’s campaign has been sending audio clips of a Sept. 10, 2012, editorial board meeting that both attended at the Chicago Tribune. During that meeting, Bustos had said she supported a 10 percent pay cut for Congress until the federal budget situation was under control. “I would propose that there is a vote to cut 10 percent of the pay for every member of Congress,� Bustos said in the audio clip. When asked if she would take the pay cut regardless of how the voted turned out, the congresswoman said she would.

Schilling is now pushing for Bustos to follow through and return $34,800 to taxpayers – 10 percent of her $174,000 annual salary.

Because lawmakers can’t have the money taken from their pay-

checks, Schilling suggested Bustos donate it to a veterans group.

Schilling said he kept his promise to not enroll in the health care plan or accept a pension. Federal lawmakers are not vested in their pension plan for 5 years.

The Bustos camp responded by turning the spotlight on Schilling’s job with CMB Regional Centers in Rock Island. After losing the 2012 election, Schilling became the director of business relations and governmental affairs with the company that is part of the federal EB-5 program that offers permanent residency to qualifying immigrants who put up at least $500,000 for the investment program. “... Bobby Schilling is making a six-figure salary selling American visas to foreign nationals that pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to game the immigration process. When it comes to salaries, Bobby Schilling has a lot to answer for,� Bustos said in a statement responding to Schilling’s pay cut push.

The EB-5 program has come under scrutiny since a Chicago man, Anshoo Sethi, was indicted on charges he defrauded several Chinese families out of $11 million in a failed EB-5 project.

Schilling defended the program Thursday, saying that Bustos must like it, too, because she voted for the immigration bill that made EB-5 permanent in January. “Many Democrats, including [U.S. Sens.]

Dick Durbin and Patrick Leahy are huge supporters of the program,� Schilling said. “It has helped create over 80,000 full-time jobs; it’s a great tool to have in the toolbox.�

Schilling and Bustos will face off in the Nov. 4 election. The 17th District includes Whiteside and Carroll counties.

DeKALB – Mark Canaday has been overwhelmed by the support his family has received from the community, but he had no idea it would amount to recognition during Corn Fest weekend.

Canaday has been battling esophageal cancer, while his son, Christopher, was born with pulmonary atresia and has had 33 surgeries in his 13 years. The family deals with many medical expenses and related costs, and with two other children, things can be tough for Mark and his wife, Amy. “Going to and from medical procedures, it’s constant,� Mark Canaday said. “It’s not uncommon for us to go in and out of Chicago two or three times per month or more for procedures.�

Corn Fest organizers chose the Canaday family as a beneficiary their first Northern Illinois University football jersey auction, an effort to raise money by selling Corn Fest-themed jer-

Northern Illinois’ Da’Ron Brown pulls in a Matt McIntosh pass for a first-quarter touchdown against Presbyterian during an NCAA college football game Thursday in DeKalb. The Huskies wore Corn Fest-themed jerseys in the season opener.

The jerseys will be auctioned off as a fundraiser during the festival. seys such as those worn by the Huskies during their 55-3 season-opening football victory over Presbyterian on Thursday night.

The auction was a way to help the community while showcasing towngown relations, said chairwoman Lisa Angel.

The 3-day Corn Fest opens today in downtown DeKalb, with hours of 3 to 11 p.m. today, 11

a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Sunday.

The auction, which is open at cornfest.com through 10 p.m. Sept. 5, also will benefit local Boy Scout Troop 33 and Voluntary Action Center.

Chad McNett, committee chairman for Boy Scout Troop 33, said the group was surprised when they were selected by festival organizers to

receive funds from the auction. “It was kind of a mix, we were happy but very surprised,� McNett said. “Comparing ourselves to the other beneficiaries, we don’t even feel like we’re worthy.�

However, the troop uses its funds to help others.

In the past, the troop has traveled to help in disaster sites including New Jersey after Hurricane

Sandy, and Oklahoma and Washington, Illinois, to provide relief after tornadoes. “These kids love doing it,� McNett said. “Sometimes it surprises us how much they love to help.

The kids bust their butts all year doing fundraisers to fund projects to help others, and this is money they can spend to keep helping others.�

Voluntary Action Center was founded 40 years ago on the principle of helping others, and it will use its portion of the auction proceeds to continue services in the community, such as serving meals and pro-

viding rides to those who need them, including rides to and from Corn Fest this weekend for seniors and people with disabilities. “We’re a grassroots agency that begins with support from the community,� said VAC executive director Tom Zucker. “We were thrilled to learn we were picked to be one of the beneficiaries of this. It’ll help a lot.�

This will be the second year Corn Fest has been downtown after its 5-year stint at DeKalb Taylor Municipal Airport. Prior to that, the festival was held downtown annually for 30 years.

WHITING, INDIANA

Blast at BP refinery sparks fire, rattles homes WHITING, Ind. (AP) – An explosion at BP oil refinery in northwestern Indiana along Lake Michigan rattled nearby homes and sparked a fire that was later extinguished, but it didn’t cause any major injuries or halt production at the facility, a company official said Thursday.

The explosion Wednesday night at the Whiting refinery,

which is just east of Chicago, was caused by a fire in a compressor on a processing unit, BP America spokesman Scott Dean said. It happened about 9 p.m. and was extinguished by the plant’s fire department within a couple of hours.

One employee was taken to a hospital as a precaution, but was later released, Dean

said. Refinery operations were “minimally� affected by the fire, he said.

BP notified the state that more than 500 pounds of sulfur dioxide were released into the air because of the explosion, according to Indiana Department of Environmental Management spokesman Dan Goldblatt. He said a report is

8IBU T OFYU PO ZPVS MJTU

still being prepared, but that nearby monitors showed sulfur dioxide levels remained well below maximum levels allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency. Sulphur dioxide is commonly caused by cars, diesel trucks and coal power plants and contributes to acid rain.

A Whiting Fire Department spokesman said the blast could

be heard clearly several blocks from the plant. However, when fire commanders called plant officials to see whether assistance was needed, they were told only to stand by.

The explosion follows a malfunction at the refinery in March that the company said spilled up to 1,600 gallons of oil into Lake Michigan.

How to fix the NFL’s problem with ‘Redskins’ Team owner needs to sack offensive name

Joe Heller, Heller Syndication

GUEST COLUMN

U.S. water infrastructure issues must be addressed Nation’s drinking water systems earn a ‘D’ grade KARLA OLSON TEASLEY Glen Carbon

Water issues have been a frequent topic in the news lately, from large main breaks such as the one that affected UCLA’s historic Pauley Pavilion, to the algae bloom in Toledo’s source water.

Stories about water system issues come and go from the news headlines, but the challenges they represent are constant topics of discussion for those of us in the water industry, and are worthy of greater focus for a broader audience.

After all, quality water systems are essential for a community’s good health, fire protection, and economic vitality.

In 2013, the American Society of Civil Engineers rated our nation’s overall drinking water system infrastructure a “D.� The U.S. EPA has projected that a staggering $380 billion is required to replace aging water infrastructure over the next 20 years.

How did we as a country get into this situation?

Much of America’s

water infrastructure was first installed in the midto late-1800s. As cities grew, more underground water pipes and related facilities, such as pump stations, treatment plants and water tanks, were a d d e d t o Karla Olson support the Teasley needs of growing populations.

All of these water assets came at a cost, either from ratepayers or, in some cases, through various loan or grant programs, and all of the assets have a finite lifespan.

Certainly many water system replacements and upgrades have been made over time.

ILLINOIS AMERICAN Water invests more than $60 million a year for system renewal in the form of water pipe replacements, treatment plant upgrades and more, and is in better shape than most systems across the country.

But not all systems have done so, and even those that have tried often get pushed back from elected leaders, customers, and others who simply don’t

want to pay more for water service.

It’s understandable no one wants to see costs for anything go up. But the facts are that if we, as a nation, want to continue enjoying the benefit of quality water systems to support our communities, we must find new ways to make the necessary investments now.

Upgrades are needed to meet modern needs and customer expectations, comply with stricter regulations, and prepare for the future. This is especially true for many of the smaller systems that are most challenged economically because of low revenue streams in their communities, and small customer bases over which to spread significant infrastructure costs.

Broken water pipes, leaking systems, failing water treatment plants, and outdated technology are challenges many U.S. water utilities face today. These translate for consumers into interruptions of service, traffic delays, wasted water resources, water shortages, and less-thanacceptable water quality.

Strong, viable water systems are necessary for economic development and adequate fire protec-

tion, and investment in infrastructure brings jobs to communities.

CONVENIENT, quality tap water was one of our nation’s greatest accomplishments during the past 125 years.

We need industry, community and political leaders across the country to engage in discussions about how we will keep quality water flowing for the next 125 years, and beyond.

Note to readers: Karla Olson Teasley is president of Illinois American Water, which serves Sterling. She has more than 25 years of experience in the water utility industry.

Official Washington, most notably Congress, is still away on its extended pre-Labor Day vacation, a fact that hasn’t altered the zero-sum rate at which your problems are being solved.

But the Real Washington, which has nothing to do with governance, is all a’Twitter over the huge controversy that is dividing our capital city: What, if anything, should we do about those “Redskins�?

The Washington Redskins, the National Football League team I cheer for every autumn, has a nickname that is indisputably just about the skin color of one group of people.

For more than a decade, I’ve written that the “Redskins� nickname is an embarrassment and must be changed. Now, finally, a nationwide clamor of sorts is underway.

Prominent journalists and media institutions are refraining from using the team’s misbegotten nickname, citing its racist connotations. Last Saturday, The Washington Post’s editorial page joined the fray, announcing it will no longer use its home team’s nickname in editorials, because the term is “insulting� and a “slur.�

Let’s be clear: To Washington’s fans and team owner Daniel Snyder (who adamantly refuses to consider changing the name), cheering the Redskins has nothing to do with race.

Surely owner Snyder and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell (who could influence a name change, but hasn’t) recognize these three truths: 1) WHILE “REDSKINS� might have been considered an honorific nickname when it was adopted for the then-Boston-based team in the 1930s, it doesn’t fit today’s times. Back then, African Americans were portrayed in movies in eyerolling, Stepin’ Fetchit roles that humiliate us today.

2) When it comes to honorific tributes, “Redskins� just isn’t in the same league as other nicknames that convey honor and respect for a group of people – Chiefs, Braves, or even Vikings.

3) Obviously, we would never select a team nickname based on any other skin-color. Blackskins, Brownskins, Yellowskins, or Whiteskins? (Palefaces?

Darkies? It can get lots uglier.) As the Washington Post editorial noted, you’d never call people of Native American heritage a “redskin� to their face, and you wouldn’t let your child use the word to describe a person.

We are better than that.

So, when it comes to naming our team, we can and must do better than that.

Here are two recommendations: The Washington Warriors. Or the Washington Freedom.

(Strike up the fight song: “Hail to our Freedom! / Hail victory! / Fighting for Freedom, / And for old D.C.!�)

MEANWHILE, UNLIKE Official Washington’s politicos, who apparently want to forever fight and never unite, Real Washington’s football fans will deep-six their nickname battles and cheer as one this fall – united in their determination that a seaDan Snyder son won’t The owner be successof the Washington ful unless Redskins Washington has always trounces its vowed never to change the archrival, the name.

Dallas Cowboys.

Yet few of Washington’s and Dallas’ football fanatics know how and why their rivalry began. (Hint: Washington’s cherished “Hail to the Redskins� became, just once, the Cowboy’s secret weapon!

Really. Read on.)

Rewind to the late 1950s: Texas oilman Clint Murchison wanted to bring an NFL team to Dallas, but George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, then the NFL’s southernmost team, with games televised as far south as Florida, vowed to block a Dallas bid at the upcoming owners’ meeting.

Marshall loved his “Hail to the Redskins� fight song, perhaps because its lyrics were written by his wife, former silent film star Corrine Griffith. Alas, Marshall picked an ill-timed fight with the song’s composer, Redskins bandleader Barnee Breeskin, who retaliated by selling to Murchison’s lawyer, for just $2,500, the rights to the Redskins’ song.

Yup: Murchison told Marshall the only way he’d get the rights to his team’s fight song was to let Dallas join the NFL. And lo, Dallas got its NFL team – and the Washington-Dallas rivalry was born.

Now, finally, the NFL can strike a blow for a brave new era of human decency – one that rectifies forever all unintendedly offensive nicknames that are no longer fit for our times.

So, as a longtime Washington fan, I say: Let the NFL’s grandest rivalry play on, with political correctness and decency for all: Hail the Washington Freedom vs. the Dallas Cowpersons!

“and recognize that not only is it OK to be different, but to embrace the spectrum of bodies.�

Some of the controversy is centered around the idea that by saying it’s OK to be overweight, the movie will promote unhealthy lifestyles.

Lieberman and Averill say that criticism is misguided.

They say they’re trying to reframe health as being not about getting thinner through excessive dieting or exercise but about leading a healthy lifestyle at every size. Being overweight doesn’t necessarily mean a person is unhealthy, they say. “I’m not going to say to you that every single fat body in the world is healthy and I’m also not going to say every thin body in the world is healthy,� Averill said. “For me it’s not a question about size or shape.

It’s about thinking about people as individuals and evaluating them as individuals.�

Dr. Laura Ziton, a family practitioner with the Broward (County, Florida) Health Physician Group, a group of about 60 doctors affiliated with Broward

BEDDING

Health, said it’s true that a person can be healthy even if they’re overweight.

It takes an examination and lab work to truly determine a person’s health, a person’s body mass index, or BMI, being one of the best indicators.

The real problem, Ziton said, is obesity, which can lead to high blood pressure, diabetes and heart problems. Morbidly obese people have a higher incidence, for example, of sudden cardiac arrest. “I understand that despite our weight, we can make healthy food choices, we can have a healthy amount of exercise but in the end, if we’re obese, we will have health consequences,� Ziton said. “We do see some health consequences of being overweight, but they are minimal in comparison to those people who fall into the obese range.�

Regardless of how much they weigh, no one should be discriminated against, she said. That only leads to depression and anxiety, which can end up leaving an unhealthy person afraid to make changes – something Ziton said she sees frequently.

Both sexes responsible for birth control Dear Abby, I am sick to death of hearing about people who have too many kids and the hardship it imposes. Common sense for the women is to use birth control, but why don’t men step up to the plate and have a vasectomy? I had one years ago and it has worked well for me.

I never hear it mentioned on talk shows or read it in any advice columns, including yours.

Men of America, wake up! – Joseph in Las Vegas

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

Dear Joseph, I’m sure the word “vasectomy� has been used in previous Dear Abby columns, but I’m glad to remind my male

readers. While I have never taken a poll on this subject, I’ll hazard a guess or two about why men are reluctant to have them: One, they equate it with castration; two, they think at some point they might change their mind or their partner; and three, they’re afraid it will be painful. Drumroll: For any men out there who are worried that some tragedy might wipe out your family and you will have to start over, sperm can be banked for up to 20 years and used should the need arise.

P.S. There are also more options open to women than the pill.

These include IUDs and, if they’re sure they want to be finished with childbearing, tubal ligation.

Dear Abby, I’m a 25-year-old woman and lonely. I’m interested in a guy I have known for years. He’s my older brother’s friend, and we’re only 6 years apart. When I expressed my interest in him, he politely let me know that he would not date me because of my brother.

GARDENING

The word “bottlebrush� alone should make you want to grow it, but when you consider that the flowers are 4 inches wide and 12 inches long and are produced in huge quantities, it really should make you want to go shopping.

If there were a poster child for underused plants however, the bottlebrush buckeye would be the spectacular winner.

The huge, white blossoms and dark green palmate leaves that turn an attractive yellow in the fall make this a plant for all shrub beds. Despite being such a dynamite plant, they are still rare in the marketplace. This native is still not the staple at the garden center. We as gardeners and horticulturists need to do a better job promoting this plant and its cultural requirements.

Botanically speaking, it is known as Aesculus parviflora and is native to Georgia, Florida, Alabama and South Carolina. Don’t fret if your state wasn’t listed.

Though it is native to the Southeast, it is cold hardy in zones 4-8.

Choose a site in partial to little shade, especially if you are near the coast or southern edge of the plant zones. Prepare a bed for the bottlebrush buckeye and companion shrubs by incorporating 3 to 4 inches of organic matter and 2 pounds of a 5-10-5 fertilizer per 100 square feet of planting area, tilling deeply.

Don’t skimp on the hole.

Dig the planting hole two to three times as wide as the rootball but no deeper.

It could also be that the feelings you have for him are not reciprocated, but regardless – now that you know he isn’t interested, it’s time to look elsewhere for someone to Dear Lonely, assuage your loneliness.

Bottlebrush buckeye a spectacular shrub

BY NORMAN WINTER -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Is there a secret code that I’m missing? Is it taboo for a man who is your older brother’s friend to date the younger sibling? I am confused as to why it would matter, since we are both adults. – Lonely in Wisconsin

Place the buckeye in the hole and backfill with soil to two-thirds the depth.

Tamp the soil and water to settle, add the remaining backfill, repeat the process and apply mulch.

About a month after spring planting, feed with a light application of a slow-release, balanced fertilizer like an 8-8-8 at a rate equaling 1 pound per 100 square feet. Feed established plantings in late winter with the same fertilizer.

Keep suckers pruned as they develop to keep the bottlebrush buckeye confined. Light pruning can be done after blooming, and they will return faithfully after being cut to the ground in winter for a rejuvenation-type pruning. Be sure to keep a good 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch, particularly in the summer. Treat it like an azalea from the standpoint of mulch and moisture.

They reach about 10 to 12 feet tall and as wide and are perfect for the edge of woodland gardens. They are deciduous but don’t let this be detraction, after all this works for spiraea, quince, and forsythia, and it will for the bottlebrush buckeye, too.

At the Coastal Georgia Botanical Gardens in Savannah we are growing ours in what we consider our historical district. It is in close proximity to live oaks, hollies, large oleanders and blooming esperanza. Ours started blooming the first week in June and were a real showstopper.

NEW YORK — Imagine using your phone to snap a photo of the cool pair of sunglasses your friend is wearing and instantly receiving a slew of information about the shades along with a link to order them.

It’s a great idea – but it doesn’t quite work.

Though many companies are trying to make “visual search� a reality, this seemingly simple notion remains elusive.

Take Amazon, which made visual search a key feature in its new Fire smartphone. The e-commerce company says the feature, known as Firefly, can recognize 100 million items.

It’s similar to a Flow feature Amazon has on its apps for other phones.

So far, Firefly can reliably make out labels of products such as Altoids or Celestial Seasonings tea. That makes it easy to buy items such as groceries online.

But try it on a checkered shirt or anything without sharp corners, and no such luck. “It works really well when we can match an image to the product catalog,� says Mike Torres, an Amazon executive who works on the Fire’s software. “Where things are rounded or don’t have [visual markers] to latch on to, like a black shoe, it’s a little harder to do image recognition.�

Visual search is important to retailers because it makes mobile shopping a snap – literally.

It’s much easier to take a picture than to type in a description of something you want.

Shopping on cellphones and tablets is still a small part of retail sales, but it’s growing quickly. That makes it important to simplify the process as much as possible – especially as people look to visual sites such as Instagram and Pinterest as inspiration for purchases. “Retailers are trying to get the user experience simple enough so people are willing to buy on their phones, not just use it as a research tool,� eMarketer analyst Yory Wurmser said.

Mobile software that scans codes, such as QR codes and UPC symbols, are fairly common. Creating apps that consistently recognize images and objects has been more challenging. Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru believes it could take at least 3 more years.

Since 2009, Google’s Goggles app for Android has succeeded in picking up logos and landmarks. But Google says on its website that the app is “not so good� at identifying cars, furniture and clothes in photos.

What’s holding visual search back?

The technology works by analyzing visual characteristics, or points, such as color,

shape and texture. Amazon’s Firefly, for example, identifies a few hundred points to identify a book and up to 1,000 for paintings. U.K. startup Cortexica uses 800 to 1,500 points to create a virtual fingerprint for the image. It then scans its database of about 4 million images for a match.

are difficult to identify.

Lighting conditions, photo quality, distance, angles and other factors can throw the technology off. Visual search works best when there is a clearly defined image on a white background.

Some retailers are finding success with visual search by keeping the selection of searchable products limited.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEW | WEEK 1 EAST DUBUQUE AT POLO

ROCK FALLS AT HARVARD

Marcos’ marching orders Controlling clock key against Warriors

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550

The Polo football team is seeing double.

The Marcos will face the same slate of teams in the same order as a season ago, with the only difference being the game sites.

That means East Dubuque looms tonight, a team that finished 7-3 last year in a season that began with a 33-6 win over the Marcos. But lining up against the Warriors for the second-straight season opener has Polo thinking about taking advantage of a good opportunity to start off the season right.

Guessing game for starters Hornets to debut their new offensive system against Rockets

Polo’s Richie Bartnick avoids a tackle during Marco practice earlier this season. Polo’s season starts tonight at home against East Dubuque.

Week 1 is often the toughest game to prepare for, even with an extra week or 2 to do so. There is no film of the current team to break down and analyze, and there’s always more of a focus on what you’re doing instead of what to expect from the opponent.

That is magnified a bit for the Rock Falls Rockets, who open the season tonight in Harvard. The Hornets have a new coach, a new spread offense, and a Big Northern East title to defend.

There are two main things that stay the same for Harvard: 1,000-yard rusher Christian Kramer, and 1,000-yard passer Peyton Schneider. Both were instrumental

Rock Falls at Harvard When: 7 p.m.

Where: Harvard High School Radio: 1240 AM in the Hornets’ 11-1 season, and will be even bigger factors with the loss of 14 seniors from last year’s squad.

But even with all that going on north and east of Rock Falls, the Rockets refuse to be distracted from their main focus: playing the game their way, and making the other team worry about them.

“What we’ve done on offense is just go out and do what we’re going to do, and

make the other team adjust to it,” secondyear Rock Falls coach Scott Berge said.

“This year, we’re going to do the same thing on defense; we’re going to stick with what we planned and go with it, really make the other team change around us.”

Defense has been the focal point all offseason, and the mantra has stayed the same leading up to the season opener.

Tackling has been the key ingredient at practice this week, and the Rockets are eager to prove themselves on that side of the ball.

“We can just tell from practice that our offense looks sharp,” said senior receiver/ cornerback Connor Cain, the Rockets’ returning leader in receiving yards, tackles and interceptions.

Panthers put in crosshairs Martin blasts 17 kills in win over United Township

STERLING – Taylor Murphy found herself in the crosshairs early in the second game Thursday night at Musgrove Fieldhouse.

The United Township sophomore outside hitter rotated to the middle of the court on defense just as Sterling’s Kaylee Martin began her ascent from the floor to hit a monstrous kill.

Each time, the ball exploded off Martin’s hand straight at Murphy. The force of the ball knocked Murphy backward to

Star of the match: Kaylee Martin, Sterling, 17 kills Key performers: Sadie Roberts, United Township, 7 kills, 4 service points; Jailyn Borum, Sterling, 5 kills, 5 service points Up next: Sterling at Rock Island, 7 p.m. Thursday the floor, and the ball bounced harmlessly away for a Sterling point.

The second of these instances started a six-point run, in what turned out to be a 25-22, 25-15 season-opening win for the Warriors.

Sterling had been slated to start the season Tuesday at Yorkville, but that match was postponed because of construction on Yorkville’s gym.

“I, for one, was super pumped to get out here tonight,” Martin said. “I was bummed when Tuesday’s match was called off.

I was just ready to get out here, and prove what kind of team we can be.”

Martin, who is starting her second year on varsity, was dominant at the net. She had 17 kills and a block. Most of Alex T.

Serena cruises in Big Apple Williams makes short work of King; teenager Bellis loses

BY HOWARD FENDRICH !0 4ENNIS 7RITER

NEW YORK – Good as she is, even Serena Williams can find it tough to deal with swirling wind, so much so that she double-faulted three times in her first service game Thursday at the U.S. Open.

And, yes, even a 17-time major champion such as Williams can lose in the early going at the sport’s biggest tournaments, as she has repeatedly in 2014.

Quickly putting behind a poor-serving start, and showing absolutely no other signs of the type of up-and-down play that has plagued her at Grand Slams this season, Williams dismissed 81st-ranked American Vania King 6-1, 6-0 in 56 minutes to reach the third round. “She never let me in,�

King said. “She’s played at such a high level for so long, and I used to watch when I was a kid, growing up. So it’s kind of surreal to see the person that you’ve been watching on TV in front of you and playing. It was difficult.�

Williams ran her U.S. Open winning streak to 16 matches as she tries to become the first woman to win three consecutive titles at Flushing Meadows since Chris Evert took four in a row from 1975-78.

For the moment, the 32-year-old Williams wants to stay focused on avoiding the sort of problems she had at the Australian Open (where she lost in the fourth round), French Open (second round) and Wimbledon (third round). Not since

Serena Williams returns a shot against Vania King on Thursday during the second round of the U.S. Open in New York. Williams beat King in just 56 minutes, winning 6-1, 6-0.

So far this week, she’s left the trouble to others, and Williams could wind up being the beneficiary. A pair of other past major champions, No. 8 Ana Ivanovic and No. 24 Sam Stosur, lost Thursday, as did No. 23 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and No. 27

Madison Keys, bringing the total to 11 seeded women gone after only two rounds.

That included No. 12 Dominika Cibulkova, the Australian Open runnerup who was surprisingly defeated Tuesday by CiCi Bellis, the youngest player to win a match at the U.S. Open since Anna Kournikova in 1996. Bellis, a Californian ranked 1,208th and playing in her first tour-level event,

lost Thursday in three sets to 48th-ranked Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan.

In other action under the lights, 2012 U.S. Open champion Andy Murray won in straight sets.

Williams could have faced Stosur – the woman who beat her in the 2011 U.S. Open final – in the fourth round, and 2008 French Open winner Ivanovic in the quarterfinals. “You always hear about who is winning, who is losing. You hear about upsets,� Williams said. “But for me, especially lately, I have to worry about my first round, my second round, and my third round. I can’t get too far ahead of myself. “I was a casualty before, so ... I can’t make anything of it. At this point, I’m trying to stay alive.�

BILBAO, Spain – The bad news just kept coming, the only difference whether the culprit was injury or interest.

Some stars couldn’t play. Others wouldn’t. Then the losses really started piling up for the U.S. national basketball team.

Kevin Love pulled out while awaiting his recently completed trade to Cleveland. Paul George broke his right leg in a horrific collision that shook up teammates, and perhaps the future of international basketball. Finally, Kevin Durant, the Americans’ best player and the NBA’s MVP, changed his mind about taking part in the FIBA Basketball World Cup. The U.S. team that remains is good enough to win, but vulnerable enough to lose – perhaps to the Spain squad that was so close against much more powerful Americans in the last two Olympics, and could get a third shot on its home court. “We still have a goal, and that’s to win gold, and we can’t [say], ‘Oh, Kevin dropped out, Paul got hurt, so this is going to be tough for us,’�

U.S. center Anthony Davis said. “We hear everybody saying that.

We’re trying to prove that wrong.�

The former world basketball championship begins Saturday at four sites throughout Spain and the Canary Islands. The Americans start a fairly benign group here in Basque Country against Finland, with Spain facing the most powerful pool in Granada, joined by European champion France, Brazil, and Serbia.

Eight teams will advance to Barcelona, and the other eight to Madrid for the knockout rounds.

The gold-medal game is Sept. 14

Kenneth Faried (33) will be just one of the many young players Team USA will rely on to keep its FIBA World Cup winning streak alive over the next few weeks in Spain. in Madrid, the only time the U.S. and Spain could meet.

The Americans held off the Spanish in Olympic thrillers in 2008 and 2012, fueled by LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony. It would now be up to a much younger U.S. squad – its youngest featuring professionals – led by Davis, Stephen Curry, Derrick Rose, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving.

And if they win, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said it would be even sweeter than the Olympic victories. “When you have expectations based on what you think you had, and you get dealt those blows and you recover and you’re able to still get the job done, it’s sweet,� Colangelo said.

“That’s why I said what I did.�

Other contenders are also short-handed.

Tony Parker is taking the summer off instead of playing for France, and Spurs teammate Manu Ginobili can’t suit up for Argentina because of a lingering leg injury. Lithuania starting point guard Mantas Kalnietas was lost to a shoulder injury Tuesday.

That could leave Spain as the team arriving in the best shape, a skilled and veteran unit featuring Pau Gasol, Marc Gasol, and Serge Ibaka up front, with guards Jose Calderon, Ricky Rubio, Rudy Fernandez, and Juan Carlos Navarro.

The Americans were beaten by Greece in the semifinals of the ’06 worlds, but haven’t lost since, running off 54 straight victories.

Driver Matt Kenseth practices for the Irwin Tools Night Race last week at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Kenseth has had a strong year, despite not finding his way into Victory Lane.

Close might count Kenseth likes title chances despite lack of wins

BY JENNA FRYER Associated Press

Wins leaders

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Matt Kenseth was a five-time winner this time last year, and an established championship threat. He doesn’t feel any less confident about his title chances this season, even though he has not visited Victory Lane.

Kenseth goes into Atlanta Motor Speedway this weekend winless, but ranked a solid fifth in the Sprint Cup standings. With just two races remaining to set the 16-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field, Kenseth should make it in on points, and doesn’t feel like he needs to go for broke to get a win in the next 2 weeks.

“When you try harder than your hardest, that’s when you always get in trouble. That’s when you wreck,” Kenseth said. “I don’t know that we even need a win. I believe in momentum, to a certain point, but I don’t necessarily need a win. I’d just like to have 2 solid weeks.”

The field will be reset following the Sept. 6 race at Richmond, and Kenseth believes his Joe Gibbs Racing team is far more prepared for a run at the title than they were a year ago.

That may seem strange considering Kenseth had a dream debut season in the No. 20 Toyota, which he drove to a series-high seven wins while taking Jimmie Johnson to the wire before Johnson captured his sixth title.

But Kenseth is currently only 25 points behind third-place driver Brad Keselowski, a three-time winner this season, and he points to wrecks at Sonoma, Pocono,

3 3 3 3 3 2 2 1 1 1 1 1

and Michigan for not having him closer to the top of the standings.

“We’d be close to the lead,” he said. “I feel like it’s been a solid year, we just haven’t been dominant. We’ve been good.

We’ve been between a fourthand eighth-place car. That isn’t good enough to win it all, but it’s good enough to be in the conversation.”

So what needs to change?

Not much, according to Kenseth.

He doesn’t think his team is very far off from Hendrick Motorsports and Team Penske, and they’ve excelled at finishing higher than they should.

He doesn’t believe he had a third-place car at Bristol last week, but landed there through strategy when he found himself in contention for the win near the end of the race.

“If we can just get that little bit more we need, I feel like everything is in place as good, or in some ways better, than it was last year,” Kenseth said. “I feel like our pit stops are better than they were last year. Confidence and execution and planning are

better than they were last year.

Everything is right there, if we can just get that little bit extra out of our cars that I know we need, I feel like the rest of it is in place, and we can put together a string of races and be very competitive and hopefully contend.”

Swindell retires: Veteran sprint car driver Sammy Swindell announced this week he is retiring from racing, except for the Chili Bowl Nationals.

One of the most decorated dirt-track drivers in the country, Swindell won three World of Outlaws STP Sprint Car Series championships, and ranks second in career wins with 294.

Swindell, who is 58, has also claimed almost every major sprint car event, including the Knoxville Nationals, Gold Cup Race of Champions, Kings Royal, Williams Grove National Open, and more.

Swindell also won an unprecedented two World of Outlaws features on the same day in 1991, and picked up victories at Bristol Motor Speedway when it was covered in dirt in 2000-01. His five Chili Bowl victories are the most for any driver at the famed midget event.

“I always knew when the time came to retire, it would be clear,” Swindell said. “I’ve had a long and very successful career. Part of the reason for the timing now is I’ve spent the last 2 weekends with my son, Kevin, racing. I haven’t had any time to spend with his racing the last 4 years.

He will drive a Nationwide car for the rest of the year, and I want to be there to support him.”

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa’s biggest concern could be at kicker.

Or maybe punter.

However, for the first time in a long while, the Hawkeyes enter a season with more answers than questions.

Iowa opens the season Saturday against Northern Iowa with a remarkably settled depth chart.

Aside from the kicking game and a bit of jostling at linebacker, the Hawkeyes know exactly who they’ll be counting on in 2014.

As long as Iowa stays healthy – and that’s a huge if to anyone who has followed the program in recent years – it appears to have enough depth and experience to contend for the Big Ten West title. “Experience is important. But only if you use it to your advantage,� coach Kirk Ferentz said. “It all starts, to me, with the guys coming back; [they] have to play better.�

The Hawkeyes look like they’ve settled on a linebacker rotation after losing three starters to graduation and the NFL. Now it’s just a matter of sorting out who will play where and for how many snaps.

Senior Quinton Alston will be the middle linebacker, and he’s been named a team captain despite a lack of starting experience. Alston’s backup is Travis Perry, who is also a co-starter at outside linebacker with freshman Bo Bower.

Sophomore Reggie Spearman and redshirt freshman Josey Jewell are slated to share duties at weak-side linebacker, though that could all change in the weeks ahead. “They’re very aggressive. They don’t hesitate at all. They trust themselves,� Alston said of his young teammates at linebacker. “I think during practice this week, there is still going to be some fighting for jobs, some fighting for playing time.�

Even though it’s easy to dismiss the importance of the kicking game, it remains a potential issue for Iowa.

The Hawkeyes leaned on kicker Mike Meyer for 4 years, but he’s gone after hitting 16 of 22 field goals in 2013. The competition to replace

Bears quarterback David Fales pitches the ball during the third quarter of Thursday’s exhibition game in Cleveland. The Browns won the preseason finale 33-13.

Bears D cures Browns O Cleveland’s offense scores rare TD against Bears backups "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Tolzien each made decisive closing statements in their competition to back up starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Flynn and Tolzien both threw for two touchdowns, and the Packers handled the Chiefs in a preseason finale in Green Bay. Flynn threw for 102 yards, and Tolzien had 139 in splitting reps by quarter in the evening’s most closely watched position battle. Coach Mike McCarthy might keep both players anyway a season after Rodgers missed 7 weeks with a collarbone injury.

The Chiefs’ defense looked lost at times. Kansas City also had seven penalties in the first half, which ended with Green Bay up by 13.

Lions 23, Bills 0: Lions third-string quarterback Kellen Moore threw two touchdown passes in making one last case to make the roster in a road win.

The Bills might have lost more than the game, because rookie receiver Packers 34, Chiefs 14: Sammy Watkins did not Matt Flynn and Scott return after reinjuring Brian Hoyer drove Cleveland’s starting offense to a rare preseason touchdown before turning things over to rookie Johnny Manziel in the Browns’ 33-13 exhibition win over the Bears on Thursday night in Cleveland.

Hoyer and Cleveland’s offensive starters needed a boost after struggling in the preseason as they learn a new system.

Hoyer went 6-for-8 for 69 yards on the opening drive against Chicago’s backups before Ben Tate scored on a 1-yard run.

It was just the second TD for Cleveland’s firstteam offense this summer, and a confidence builder for Hoyer, who barely beat out Manziel for the starting job.

Manziel threw a TD pass, finished 6-for-17 for 83 yards, ran for 55 and did some typical Johnny Football improvising.

Bears wide receiver Santonio Holmes caught a 32-yard TD pass from rookie David Fales, and returned a punt 30 yards.

Buffalo dropped to 1-3, and has failed to settle the backup quarterback spot. Former Bear Jordan Palmer went 9-for-22 for 73 yards and three interceptions.

Vikings 19, Titans 3: Letting the rookie

quarterbacks play and keeping the starters on the sideline may have been the best decisions Vikings coach Mike Zimmer made all night.

Teddy Bridgewater threw a touchdown, Joe Banyard ran for 111 yards, and the Vikings wrapped up a perfect preseason by beating the Titans in Nashville.

Blair Walsh kicked four field goals, and the Vikings’ defense had three sacks in a game where both coaches protected their starters by keeping them on the sidelines, as a storm drenched LP Field most of the first half.

By the Associated Press

The Cincinnati Reds came up with a game plan to steal a game from Jake Arrieta, and they ran with it.

Billy Hamilton stole his 51st base, and the Reds swiped six in all, beating the Chicago Cubs 7-2 Thursday in Cincinnati.

Zack Cozart and Todd Frazier each stole twice, and Kristopher Negron added one more. The last time the Reds stole at least six was 2006 against Washington.

The Reds had six steals in the first four innings, using six hits and four walks to build a 6-0 lead against Arrieta (7-5).

Cincinnati stole three in a three-run second inning, and two in a three-run fourth. All six steals came at second base, with John Baker catching Arrieta. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew it would be hard to score on Arrieta,â&#x20AC;?

Reds manager Bryan Price

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to create some opportunities by being aggressive. We did a good job, all the way through, not just the first time through the lineup.â&#x20AC;?

Dylan Axelrod (1-0) pitched five scoreless innings of two-hit ball, and struck out eight.

Axelrod was taking injured Homer Baileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spot in the starting rotation, and made his first start for the Reds since Aug. 16 in Colorado.

Axelrod left that game with a lead, only to have the bullpen give it up.

Cubs rookie Jorge Soler doubled and singled in his second major league game, and drove in a run. He homered and singled in his debut on Wednesday.

Chicago first baseman Anthony Rizzo was out of the lineup for the second straight day with tightness in his lower back.

Manager Rick Renteria hopes to have him back

for the upcoming series in St. Louis.

Indians 3, White Sox 2:

Carlos Carrasco pitched into the seventh inning, and Michael Bourn had two triples among his three hits, leading Cleveland to a victory over the White Sox in Chicago.

Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley each singled in a run for the Indians, who have won four of five and 11 of 16 overall to remain in the hunt for an AL wild card.

Alexei Ramirez had two hits for the White Sox, and John Danks (9-9) pitched six solid innings.

Carrasco (6-4) improved to 3-0 with a sparkling 0.73 ERA in four starts since he returned to the rotation.

The right-hander also began the year as a starter, but then lost three of his first four outings.

He struck out seven in 6 2/3 innings while holding the White Sox to one run and four hits.

“...WHY PRINT WILL NOT ONLY SURVIVE, BUT THRIVE IN THE FUTURE.”

For the second year in a row, and the third time in five years, Sauk Valley Media has won the General Excellence competition among mid-sized newspapers in Illinois. The judges said:

“

All the top finishers in this closely contested division are examples of why print journalism still matters, and why print will not only survive, but thrive in the future. These three newspapers fulfill the most important mission of a community newspaper, which is to focus on the community they are in and put their emphasis on local people and issues. The Telegraph did this a little better than the others. The newspaper devoted its resources to local events and concerns – whether it was covering the complexities of a strike by local teachers, the debate over the need for a helmet law or the efforts to find a man who went missing in a river. The Telegraph's front page consistently contained nothing but well-written local stories, and it made excellent use of sidebars, charts and info boxes to better inform its readers.

“

True to Shaw Media's Brand Promise, the Telegraph and Daily Gazette are committed to advocating for the community in many ways, among them aggressive watchdog journalism, responsible editorial opinion, and responsive local coverage.

Or, as the judges described it, to “focus on the community they are in and put their emphasis on local people and issues.” That's what we do.

Carson Buck led the Oregon boys golf team in a road win at the par-35 Sandy Hollow course in Rockford on Thursday.

Oregon beat Rockford Lutheran 163-180.

Buck earned medalist honors with a 39 to improve the Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record to 3-1.

Mitchell Nehrkorn and Tyler Black each carded 41s, while Taylor Brubaker rounded out the scoring for the Hawks with a 42.

The players, for their part, exude confidence in what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing, and have taken ownership of making sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go and playing their best come Friday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all have trust in each other and the ethics of the system weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running,â&#x20AC;? senior quarterback Jacob Mammosser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know it comes down to us doing our jobs, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired of hitting each other. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to get out there, and see what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got against another team.â&#x20AC;?

The initial goal is simple: snap the streak of 10 straight losses in season openers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including the last three to Harvard.

The Rockets havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won in Week 1 since beating Dixon in 2003, when Rock Falls was still part of the NCIC Southwest.

But a road win Friday would be the first step in the Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; achieving their other goals for 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can get it done the first week, get that first win under our belts,â&#x20AC;?

Cain said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that momentum would go a long way toward Week 2. And every win we can get, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to help us build even more momentum as the season goes on.â&#x20AC;?

Active pursuit can gain more tricks

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Brian Tracy said, “I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.”

In my experience, the better you play, the luckier you will be. And when you are being lucky, press the accelerator to the floor.

This week we are looking at active and passive defense; whether the defenders should try hard to win tricks or should wait for declarer to give them winners.

Often the auction will provide clear evidence of which way to turn. But sometimes it will not help.

Then the defenders should study the dummy for guidance – as in this deal.

South is in four hearts.

West leads the diamond two.

After winning with his ace, what should East do next?

The dummy is threatening because that spade suit is

surely going to provide declarer with a source of tricks, on which he can discard his losers. East must defend actively by shifting to the club 10. Here, this garners three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract.

Then East should congratulate West on his lead. If he had chosen, say, a trump, declarer would have taken at least 11 tricks. Finally, defense can be affected by the form of the game.

When you are playing Chicago or Swiss teams or knockout teams, when overtricks are relatively unimportant, follow this week’s guidelines.

But when you are competing in a pair event, where overtricks can be like golddust, you must be more careful if your active defense is likely to blow a trick. © 2014 UFS

Warriors make adjustments to UT Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien, Rockets clip Cardinals ROUNDUP

CROSSHAIRS

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had girls getting to digs, and getting the ball to our setters in perfect position,â&#x20AC;?

Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From there, the setters were getting it to the hitter. It became bump-setkill, and they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop it.â&#x20AC;?

Sterling jumped out to a 19-12 lead behind Martin and a series of hitting errors by the Panthers.

United Township turned the momentum, feeding the ball to 6-foot middle hitter Sadie Roberts for three kills. That run helped the Panthers cut the Sterling lead to one point at 21-20.

Roberts finished with seven kills for the match.

Sterling coach Dale Dykeman called timeout with the team ahead by a point to refocus and make some changes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had made some adjustments to what we were doing, and we had to change what we were doing, and where we were setting up the block,â&#x20AC;? Dykeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think mentally, the girls did a great job of not panicking, and focusing on making the adjustments.â&#x20AC;?

Out of the timeout, Alli Olson set Martin for a kill. Megan Loos had a block on the next point to put Sterling up 23-20.

United Township scored twice more, before kills by Martin and Koett closed the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had some tall girls and were quick, so we had to find the best places to set up to hit,â&#x20AC;? Jailyn Borum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we did, Kaylee got really rolling, and that opened everything up for the rest of us.â&#x20AC;?

Sterling went up 10-3 in Game 2, and allowed United Township to get only as close as five points (15-10) the rest of the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once we made the adjustments, our middle hitters really started to come up,â&#x20AC;?

Dykeman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You saw Jailyn from the outside make some hits. They had to focus so much on Kaylee that it took them out of their defense, and there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much they were able to do after that.â&#x20AC;?
