STERLING | PREPARING FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA

Sensibilities meeting reality New law forces city leaders to tweak language in rules, step out of comfort zone

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570

Police Chief Ron Potthoff Says he’s impressed with how tough state statute is

STERLING – While state statute lays the ground rules for the medicinal marijuana pilot program in Illinois, local governments still have plenty of work to do in preparing to utilize it.

Also, just because dispensaries and grow centers for medicinal purposes will be legal doesn’t

mean the issue won’t be divisive.

While the Sterling Plan Commission worked on some draft language on Aug. 21, it appeared that city officials were sometimes thinking outside of their comfort zone.

Some of the broader logistics don’t seem to be a problem.

City consultant Dustin Wolff said the city feels good about the zoning districts that have been targeted for the cultiva-

tion centers and dispensaries.

“We’re proposing allowing cultivation centers in B-3 because it’s safe and meets the criteria,” Wolff said. “They are limited in application because of the buffer zone. The dispensaries would be in M-2 – the General Manufacturing District.”

Heather Sotelo, executive director at Greater Sterling Development Corp., said the only place a cultivation center could go is out-

side the city limits.

Sotelo and Police Chief Ron Potthoff assured the commissioners that the Illinois statute provides strict regulation.

“I’m impressed with how tough the Illinois statute is now, but like in California, it’ll probably soften later,” Potthoff said.

Potthoff recommended that a dispensary not go downtown.

Kelsey Erickson, 23, of Carlisle, Massachusetts. pulls a small wagon as she makes the trip Saturday from Sinnissippi Park in Sterling to Chaplin Creek Village in Franklin Grove as part of the Great March for Climate Action. Erickson is in a group of people walking from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., over 8 months to raise awareness about climate change and to motivate elected leaders and citizens to take actions now to reverse its effects.

STERLING – Bruce Rauner wants to speak to as many people as he can before Nov. 4 – whether that’s in a restaurant, an African-American church, or on a Russian radio station.

“It’s important to run a campaign and be a governor for every family,” the Republican gubernatorial candidate said Sunday. “Every family is suffering under Gov. Pat Quinn, and I want to go to work for every family.”

Rauner made a stop in Sterling as part of a statewide bus tour. More than 40 people gathered at Candlelight Inn to hear him give a roughly 15-minute speech.

Great March for Climate Action comes through Sauk Valley

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

FRANKLIN GROVE – What better way to raise awareness about climate change than being out in the elements?

That’s what a group of about 35 people are doing as they march from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C. They passed through the Sauk Valley over the weekend. They were in Sterling on Friday, and made their way to Franklin Grove on Saturday.

The Great March for Climate Action started March 1 in Los Angeles. It was organized by Ed Fallon, who

served for 14 years as a Democrat in the Iowa Legislature before failed bids for governor in 2006 and Congress in 2008. Marchers hope to arrive in the nation’s capital Nov. 1.

Their aim is to raise awareness of the impact carbon emissions have on the globe, and to motivate people and elected leaders to act now to reverse climate change.

ROCK FALLS – A co-ed slowpitch softball tournament is planned for Saturday to help a 3-monthold girl in her fight against a terminal genetic disorder.

Bellamay Crystal Perez was born in May, the daughter of Antonio and Monica Perez of Sterling.

Bellamay was diagnosed with spinal muscle atrophy type 1, which causes muscles to waste away and leads to impaired mobility.

Julia Herrera, a relative of the family, said, “They’re working with a doctor in Wisconsin.”

OREGON – After being on the market for several years, a downtown Oregon landmark has been sold.

Two Oregon men, Mark Gale and Kevin Wiegmann, recently purchased the National Cloth ing House building on the northwest corner of Washington and Fourth streets from former U.S. Congressman Don Manzullo.

Gale said they plan to remodel the brick building.

“We’re going to fix it up as time allows, and eventually rent it out,” he said.

The plan is to rent it as a business location.

He said they hope to restore the exterior to how it looked originally as much as possible.

Several different businesses have been located in the building over the years, the most recent being Verizon.

Gale declined to say how much he and Wiegmann paid for the building, but a banner displayed on the front of the structure recently set the price at $89,000.

He said he and Wiegmann have not yet decided what they will do with the upper story, which is in need of extensive repairs.

Oregon Mayor Tom Stone said he is pleased that Gale and Wiegmann, who have purchased and remodeled other properites, now own the building.

“I think it’s great,” he said. “This is good for the city. Small towns are struggling.”

Stone said this shows progress is being made in the city.

Keep your fingers crossed. The Sauk Valley might not have a repeat of last winter’s extreme cold and snow.

Illinois State Climatologist Jim Angel said the NOAA Climate Prediction Center’s winter outlook shows equal chances of above, below, or near average temperatures, as well as below average precipitation for Illinois and the Great Lakes region. In other words, it looks like they are not expecting a repeat of the extremely cold temperatures and snowy weather, Angel said.

Last year, the Quad Cities area had its second snowiest and its fifth coldest winter on record.

WQAD News 8 meteorologist James Zahara said he agrees with NOAA’s outlook for the coming winter.

“Given the trends we’ve

seen, though considered early, it would be quite surprising to experience the same if not worse conditions like we encountered last winter,” Zahara said. “I don’t believe it will come close to the second snowiest winter like we had last year, where snow amounts were just over 60 inches. The normal is about 32 inches. So, above normal snowfall is likely, though just over 40 is a good target for now.”

Temperatures are not projected to be as fierce this winter, either, Zahara said. The trend is showing temperatures to be about just 3 degrees below the winter average.

“But, keep in mind, there are a lot more variables that we’ll be analyzing the next few months that will go into the winter forecast equation,” Zahara said.

“This is something we’ll definitely keep an eye on.

Time will tell.”

Sotelo: Important to understand economic impact REALITY

CONTINUED FROM A1

Sotelo said the downtown couldn’t accommodate a dispensary because of parking issues and the challenges of retrofitting the old buildings in that area.

Two changes were made at the meeting, both backtracking on requirements that exceeded what the state statue called for.

Regarding location requirements, part of the state law says “A registered dispensing organization may not be located

in a house, apartment, condominium, or an area zoned for residential use.� The city had looked at adding a 1,000foot buffer between a dispensing facility and a residential area.

The state regulations already provide for a 1,000-foot buffer zone for the cultivation centers.

Only 21 grow centers will be allowed in Illinois – one for each of the state police districts with the exception of the tollway district.

The state statute calls for up to 60 dispensaries, set by population guidelines and ensuring that

no one has to drive more than a couple hours to get their prescription.

After some spirited discussion, the language was changed to reduce the proposed dispensary barrier from 1,000 feet to 500 feet.

The city had added places of worship to the mix of locations requiring a barrier. Sotelo questioned why religious institutions should be included when they are not in the state statue. “The dispensaries are going to be like a CVS or Walgreens,� she said. “We have to realize this is legal, whether we like it

or not politically.�

Wolff said churches were added in adherence to the original intent of the statute. “That’s another place where children are, and the law was meant to keep them away,� he said.

Sotelo said it is important that city leaders understand the economic magnitude of medical marijuana. “There may be a dispensary in northwest Illinois,� she said. “Wherever it is, people are going to go there twice a month to pick up prescriptions, and it’s likely they’ll shop, get gas and food there, too.�

City Attorney Ron Coplan said this is new territory for everyone, and no one is really sure where it will ultimately lead. “We’re in a stage where there is a lot of knee-jerk anti-drug sentiment,�

Coplan said. “But it’s legal, and if it’s properly regulated and controlled, you just hope it doesn’t turn into recreational use.�

Commissioner Rene Morris said, that as public officials, they have to put aside sensibilities and deal with the reality of the situation. “It’s here, and we have to embrace it,� she said.

“The B-3 zoning makes economic sense because the shopping is growing that way.�

After some spirited discussion, the commission agreed to strike places of worship from the location requirements section. “The state statute is very strict, and I don’t see the need to go beyond what is called for in the statute,� commissioner Mike Mellott said.

The commissioners also agreed that a special use designation should be used for zoning purposes to allow for a public input component.

U.S. eating habits improve a bit

Patients to start applying for medical marijuana

But wealth gap in diets grows CHICAGO (AP) – Americans’ eating habits have improved – except among the poor, evidence of a widening wealth gap when it comes to diet.

Yet even among wealthier adults, food choices remain far from ideal, a 12-year study found.

On an index of healthy eating where a perfect score is 110, U.S. adults averaged just 40 points in 1999-2000, climbing steadily to 47 points in 2009-10, the study found.

Scores for low-income adults were lower than the average and barely budged during the years studied. They averaged almost 4 points lower than those for highincome adults at the beginning; the difference increased to more than 6 points in 2009-10.

Higher scores mean greater intake of hearthealthy foods including vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, and a high score means a low risk of obesity and chronic illnesses including heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Low scores mean people face greater chances for developing those ailments.

The widening richpoor diet gap is disconcerting and “will have important public health implications,� said study co-author Dr. Frank Hu of the Harvard School of Public Health. Dietlinked chronic diseases such as diabetes have become more common in Americans in general, and especially in the poor, he noted. “Declining diet quality over time may actually widen the gap between the poor and the rich,�

Hu said.

The results are published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine.

Hu said the widening diet gap reflects an income gap that deepened during the recent financial crisis, which likely made healthy food less affordable for many people. Hu also noted that inexpensive highly processed foods are often widely available in low-income neighborhoods.

improvement was largely due to decreased intake of foods containing trans fats but the disappointing results point to a need for policy changes including better nutrition education, Hu said.

In recent years the government and manufacturers have moved to phase out use of artificial trans fats in foods including processed cookies, cakes, frozen pizza and margarines.

Trans fats contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels and can increase heart disease risks. These fats are made by adding hydrogen to vegetable oil to improve texture and shelf life.

The study authors say their results are consistent with an earlier report showing that “nearly the entire U.S. population fell short of meeting federal dietary recommendations.�

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – One unanswered question about a new state law legalizing medical marijuana is just how many Illinois residents will actually ask for permission to use it.

The extent of the demand should start to become clearer today as agencies begin accepting applications from patients or their registered caregivers.

For now, only those with last names beginning with letters “A’’ through “L’’ can apply to Oct. 31.

Other patients must wait until Nov. 1 before submitting applications.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reports that some estimates were that as many as 100,000 Illinois residents could qualify.

Sheila Porter, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of

Public Health, said in an email that the agency was expecting the number of applicants to run into the thousands over the next 4 months. “This will build over time as more physicians sign the required paperwork for patients,� she said.

Under the law, adopted by lawmakers in 2013, patients must have a prescription from their physician and get a background check. The state must respond to a completed application within 30 days.

To ensure they can handle applications, Porter said state agencies involved in the process – also including the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation – are hiring more workers.

Rauner: Grow economy to improve education funding RAUNER

CONTINUED FROM A1

The Rauner “Shake-Up Express” is traveling as far north as Galena and as far south as Vienna. It also made a stop Sunday in Mount Carroll.

Rauner, a venture capitalist from Winnetka, hopes to unseat Quinn in the Nov. 4 general election.

Rauner said he would lower taxes, create a better jobs climate, improve Illinois schools, and enact term limits on career politicians.

“I want blooming job opportunities in AfricanAmerican neighborhoods, Koren neighborhoods, Russian neighborhoods, and I want every farm family in Illinois to have great job opportunities, reasonable tax burens and great schools,” he said. “I want to work for every family and not just some.”

Rauner also said he wants to improve funding in local schools. He said Illinois has one of the lowest rates of state support for funding education.

“We are 48th out of 50 states,” he said. “I want to push and make state support increase so we can fully fund our schools and make sure every district gets proper support and funding.”

He also said Quinn has cut education funding by $500 million while taxes continue to rise.

“I’ll make education funding the top prior-

ity, and the real way to do that is by growing the economy,” Rauner said.

“If we have a growing economy, we can fund our schools.”

Under Quinn, Rauner said, 4,200 jobs have been lost in Illinois this year alone.

“We are not growing, and if we don’t grow, we can’t fund our schools,” Rauner said. “I’ll get us growing. I’ll fund the schools and make that a priority.”

Rauner also wants to put a greater emphasis on vocational training.

He said Illinois has one of the highest unemployment rates in America, yet there are thousands of jobs unfilled in the state because students are not trained for the positions that are available.

“We need technical skills, computer skills, vocational training and internships for young people as teenagers,” he said. “That needs to be in high schools and part of our curriculum, so kids can get course credit for the jobs training in local communities.”

Rauner said he meets many people who don’t think their vote counts.

“This race could be decided by a few hundred or few thousand votes,” he said. “Every vote matters.”

Rauner was joined Sunday by former U.S. Rep. Bobby Schilling, R-Colona.

Schilling is challenging Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline, for the state’s 17th Congressional Dis-

“Here in Illinois, we need Bruce Rauner in Springfield,” Schillng said. “One thing that has been missing from this great state for a long time is people with character and a backbone to stand up and fight and turn this state around.

“I want my kids and grandkids to have the same opportunity that were afforded to each one of us.”

2014 ELECTION

Rauner revives governor’s mansion question SPRINGFIELD (AP) – It’s been more than a decade since an Illinois governor lived full time at the state’s Executive Mansion, but once again a Chicago-area candidate’s promise to make his home there has revived the question of just how important it is for the state.

Wealthy Republican businessman Bruce Rauner, who lives in the upscale Chicago suburb of Winnetka, has emphasized his intention to call Springfield home if he

defeats Gov. Pat Quinn in the November election.

The Chicago Democrat says he will continue to split his time between the two places after initially vowing to live downstate full time. The candidates confirmed their plans in Associated Press candidate questionnaires.

The last governor to live in the 1855 manor full time was former Gov. Jim Edgar, a Republican and former secretary of state from Charleston who was already living in the capital. The last Chica-

go-area native to live at the mansion consistently was Jim Thompson, who spent considerable time there before moving back to Chicago for his daughter’s schooling toward the end of his 14-year tenure.

While the duties of the job have shifted toward Chicago in recent years, the two former governors agree with political experts and many downstate residents that having a governor living in Springfield makes a difference.

WASHINGTON – The excitement is building.

Only a few more weeks until the long-awaited midterm elections, which Republicans hope will mean they take over the Senate and smite President Barack Obama even harder.

And, so, we wonder, what is impassioning the voters who will make this momentous decision?

Is it the killer terrorists of the so-called Islamic State of Syria and Iraq (although true followers of Islam want nothing to do with it)?

Is it the treatment of young black men by police?

Is it Obama’s milquetoast version of “bringing it on�?

The border crisis with young children being sent on hazardous journeys to the United States without their parents?

For millions, especially in tea party strongholds, it is the riveting matter of the fate of the ExportImport Bank of the United States.

I do not jest.

It’s sort of hard to figure this out. Have Americans suddenly taken a strong new interest in arcane economics? Or are tea partiers jousting with an issue they don’t really understand, just as they tried to ruin the U.S. reputation as a good investment by preventing the country from paying its legitimate debts.

(Not understanding that raising the debt ceiling applies to debts incurred and is not a license to incur new debts.)

It is difficult to imagine a conga line of protesters waving banners: “Ax the Ex-Im.� But, really, these people are passionate about this.

MOST COUNTRIES have export-import banks to make loans to foreigners to buy their products. The U.S. bank charter written in the Depression says its purpose is to assist in financing the export of U.S. goods and services to international markets. If Congress does nothing by Sept.

30, the bank will run out of money and close its doors.

Hurrah, say some conservative Republicans, who argue the bank is a monster running amok, one form of the kind of corporate welfare and crony capitalism that they oppose. (But they like some forms, such as low taxes on corporations.)

Whoa, say most Democrats, who rightly think the bank could be reined in but who say its demise would hurt thousands of American businesses and cost U.S. jobs when the

fragile economic recovery is still struggling to sit up in bed.

But it is not a straight Republican v. Democrat issue. The conservative Heritage Foundation wants the bank shut down while the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says that would be stupid.

THE CHAMBER HAS a countdown clock on its website and urges business leaders to write to Congress and “support the bank.� It notes the bank provided $37.4 billion worth of sales of U.S. products in 2013 and accounted for 200,000 American jobs.

Heritage argues the bank is “beset by mismanagement, dysfunction, and risk� inevitably the “result of government assuming a function far beyond its proper purview and one that rightly U.S. Sen. belongs to Mitch private busiMcConnell R-Kentucky ness alone.�

Obama used a scintillating (not really) radio address to urge support, saying the bank’s demise would mean thousands of big and small businesses would take a “completely unnecessary hit.�

The man who wants to snatch control of the Senate out of Majority Leader Harry Reid’s Democratic hands, Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, opposes reauthorizing the bank.

The bank says, Hey, Congress, we make a profit, and touts success stories of U.S. companies it has aided. For example, the president of Thrustmaster of Texas Inc. says the bank provided wherewithal for multimillion-dollar sales that permitted it to compete on a level playing field with the big guys.

But the bank’s own overseers admit there are problems that need fixing.

There is a chance Congress may do a shortterm extension to keep the bank operating until after the election and then work out a better solution. But in the polarized climate on Capitol Hill, that’s a long shot.

Election-year politics are so whimsical.

AT THE BOX OFFICE

‘Guardians’ now kings of movie galaxy Film tops weekend box office again, now No. 1 movie of year

BY MARK OLSEN MCT News Service

LOS ANGELES – Perhaps as a sign this summer couldn’t be over soon enough for Hollywood, the top three positions at the box office for the weekend were exactly the same as last week: “Guardians of the Galaxy” continued its surprising run with an estimated 3-day draw of $16.3 million, and with a cumulative total of $274.6 million in the U.S. and Canada through Sunday, the film became the top box-office draw not only of the summer but of the year so far, passing “Captain America: The Winter Solider.”

“Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” continued its surprising showing as well, bringing in an estimated $11.8 million in its fourth weekend for a cumulative total of $162.4 million.

In its second weekend of release, the teen romantic drama “If I Stay” brought in an estimated $9.3 million for a new total of $29.8 million.

The best new opener of the weekend was the low-

budget horror thriller “As Above, So Below” in the fourth spot, bringing in an estimated $8.3 million.

In its third week, “Let’s Be Cops” came in fifth with an estimated $8.2 million for a new total of $57.3 million. “The November Man,” an espionage thriller starring Pierce Brosnan, opened in sixth place with an estimated threeday total of $7.7 million.

Rounding out the top 10 were “When the Game Stands Tall,” bringing in an estimated $5.6 million for the weekend and raising its total to $16.3 million; “The Giver,” with an estimated $5.2 million for a new total of $39.4 million; and “The HundredFoot Journey” with an estimated $4.6 million for a new total of $39.4 million. “The Expendables 3” came in 10th place with $3.5 million for a total of $33.1 million.

More estimates for the Labor Day holiday will be in Monday, but the summer box office looks to come in just above $4 billion, down some 15 percent from $4.75 billion in the summer of 2013.

“The summer of 2014 was confounding, it was exasperating, and it was a transition between one record summer in 2013 and what everyone believes will be a record summer in 2015,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Rentrak.

However, thanks to a strong spring, the total box office for the year so far stands at $7.2 billion, off only about 5 percent from last year.

And with potential successes such as the latest “Hunger Games” and “Hobbit” films along

with Christopher Nolan’s much-anticipated “Interstellar” all still to come, 2014 could still turn itself around.

“This summer was just never predestined to be a record breaker,” Dergarabedian said. “And there were so many unquanti-

fiable things. The World Cup may have had an effect as a distraction.

The Fourth of July fell on a Friday, which no one in Hollywood wants.

4UESDAY 3EPTEMBER

Using mother tongue makes talk difficult Dear Abby, My son married an educated professional woman from another country.

When their twins were born, my daughter-inlaw immersed them in her native language so it would become their mother tongue. Although I understand and respect the benefits of being bilingual, this caused a lot of communication gaps and frustration between us and the grandkids during their early years.

They attend a bilingual elementary school now, and their English is superb and communication between us is great.

The problem is, when we

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

are together, my daughter-in-law speaks to her children exclusively in her native language. My son understands the conversation, but my husband and I do not know what is being said.

We think this is rude and inconsiderate.

Are we being overly

sensitive, or is this common practice in families with multiple languages?

Our relationship with our daughter-in-law is polite and cordial, but not close or intimate. Any advice? – Left Out in Florida Dear Left Out, This is not unusual in multilingual families, and I agree that it is inconsiderate. Have you spoken to your son and daughterin-law about how this makes you feel? If you haven’t, you should, because she may not be deliberately trying to make you feel excluded.

When you raise the subject, choose your words and tone carefully.

Because if you don’t,

your relationship with your daughter-in-law could become a lot less cordial than it is.

Dear Abby, I’m a 55-year-old gay male who has been with my now-spouse, “Owen,� in a loving, committed relationship since 2005.

While earlier we could not legally marry, in 2006 we had a commitment ceremony bringing together close friends and family to acknowledge and celebrate our relationship.

In 2013, Owen and I were finally able to legally marry in California.

My dilemma comes from people who don’t know what to call us. People often refer to my spouse

as my “friend� or “partner.� At times I say nothing, but more often than not, I find myself saying, “Oh, you mean my HUSBAND.� Some of them thank me for the clarification; others just look at me with a blank stare.

Owen never corrects them because he feels it isn’t his place. I feel it’s my responsibility to do so, first so as to not play down the significance of our relationship, but also to educate these people.

Do you think this is inappropriate? – Married in California Dear Married, Not at all. The people who refer to you and Owen as “partners� and

“friends� are using terminology that is evolving because marriage among same-sex couples is still relatively new. As it becomes more commonplace, that will change. In the meantime, it’s completely appropriate for you and Owen to speak up.

P.S. For any reader who may not already know, gay men refer to their spouse as their husband and lesbians refer to theirs as their wife.

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

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

Duckworth announces she’s pregnant CHICAGO (AP) – U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq war veteran and double amputee, said Monday she’s pregnant and expecting a baby girl in early December.

Duckworth, a Democrat from the Chicago suburb of Hoffman Estates,

announced the pregnancy on NBC’s “Today� show. “I am so thrilled that I’m going to be a mother,� she said.

The announcement was part of a segment about four amputees from the Iraq War who have recently had babies

or are pregnant.

Duckworth, who was first elected to Congress in 2012 after an unsuccessful 2006 bid, is running for re-election on Nov. 4. She faces Republican Larry Kaifesh of Carpentersville, a fellow veteran.

They also haul a solar-powered generator.

“We want to raise awareness,� said Lee Stewart, a 27-year-old marcher from northern Virginia. “Our goal is to inspire action in the communities we visit.

We have been talking to people in communities across the country.�

Stewart has walked with the group since the beginning. He showed no signs of slowing down Saturday afternoon, as temperatures reached 80 degrees.

The group camped out Friday night in Sinnissippi Park in Sterling.

They rested Saturday at Chaplin Creek Village in Franklin Grove.

The group has stayed at various places throughout their journey, including churches, camp sites, schools, and even a detention center. The group walks roughly 15 to 17 miles each day. “Today is a 21-mile day,� Stewart said. “We started walking at 6 a.m.

[Saturday morning].�

The march is funded by individual donors, and organizers say the event is the largest coast-tocoast climate march in U.S. history.

A study released in March 2013 analyzing temperature changes over the past 11,000 years shows the Earth moving quickly from near record cooling to a heat spike.

Scientists believe this

There were 300 walkers in the group when the march started in Los Angeles. Many walkers join the group for 1 or 2 days.

Norris joined the march about a week ago in Davenport, Iowa. “I knew they were coming through Davenport, and I wanted to be part of this,� Norris said, wearing a blue shirt that read “Walk for our grandchildren.� “We just want people to be aware of what’s going on,� he said.

Kathe Thompson, a 72-year-old marcher from Wellington, Florida, said each week, one person in the group becomes a mute.

“We have one person each week who remains silent in honor of those people who are not able to speak out,� she said. “We have to take a stand.�

The group is always looking for more people to join the march, whether for a day, a week, or the rest of the journey.

The group will be accepting donations and applications for marchers until the last day at climatemarch.org.

2014 ELECTION | U.S. CONGRESS

GOP sees gains in Illinois voters tuning out Bustos among Democrats seen as vulnerable DECATUR (AP) – The candidates for Illinois congressional seats heard all about it during visits with voters in August: Disgust with Washington.

Dismay over accusations and negative advertising in Illinois’ state races.

Lack of interest in the Nov. 4 election.

While the complaints transcend party allegiances and demographic boundaries, Republicans are aiming to capitalize on the frustrations and predicted low voter turnout to take back a number of congressional districts across Illinois and help the GOP solidify its hold on the House just 2 years after losing most of the state’s competitive seats.

Among the incumbents targeted as vulnerable are freshmen Democrats Brad Schneider, who represents the suburbs north of Chicago, Bill Enyart, who represents southern Illinois, and Cheri Bustos, who represents a swath of northwestern and central Illinois that includes Whiteside and Carroll counties.

Meanwhile, both sides are pouring money into a tough contest pitting one of the GOP’s own

freshman, Rodney Davis, against former Madison County Circuit Court Judge Ann Callis in the bow-tie shaped district that stretches from Champaign to the St. Louis suburbs.

Two of the races are rematches from 2012, when Schneider defeated first-term GOP Rep. Bob Dold and Bustos defeated first-term GOP Rep. Bobby Schilling.

The Democratic victories 2 years ago were aided by turnout for President Barack Obama and a new congressional district map, drawn by Democrats in Springfield that heavily favors Democrats. They hold a 12-6 majority in the state’s congressional delegation, having reversed the Republicans earlier 11-8 advantage. Illinois lost one seat after the 2010 census.

David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, says the sour voter mood compounds the typical problems faced by the party in power during midterm elections.

To many, Washington appears to be paralyzed by partisan conflicts while national and international crises have unfolded. “Some [voters] are just giving up on the political process, and I think that will help Repub-

Schilling, R-Colona, is trying to win back the 17th Congressional District seat he lost in 2012 to U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, D-East Moline. licans,� he said. “The party in power always has trouble in midterms, but this could be more pronounced.�

Another possible factor is a Democrat at the top of the ticket, Gov. Pat Quinn. Quinn’s approval ratings are among the lowest of the nation’s governors and he has angered some traditional Democratic allies, such as union members, for supporting reduced state

worker benefits to deal with the state pension crisis. “I think you’re going to see a lot of Democrats just staying home,� Yepsen said. “I think that starts to hurt other Democrats up and down the tickets.�

Congressional candidates have encountered the general malaise as they make their campaign rounds.

Congress “has lost sight

of the average Americans’ needs and wants and concerns,� said Albert Weidlich, an 84-year-old retiree after a candidate forum in Decatur during Congress’ annual August recess.

Katie Prill, a spokeswoman for the National Republican Congressional Committee, said the GOP’s Illinois strategy has changed from defense to offense. The NRCC has spent a half

million dollars on television ads to support Dold against Schneider, and a total of $1.4 million to support Mike Bost, who is facing the Democrat Enyart, and Davis in their races.

Prill singled out the Dold-Schneider race as a “huge pickup opportunity� for Republicans.

Dold lost to Schneider in the independent-leaning district by about one percentage point in 2012.

IN BRIEF Concession from rebels in Ukraine -/3#/7 !0 n 0RO Russian rebels softened their demand for full independence Monday, saying they would respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in exchange for autonomy n A SHIFT THAT REFLECTS -OS cow’s desire to strike a deal at a new round of peace talks.

The insurgents’ platform, released at the start of Monday’s negotiations in Minsk, the Belarusian cap ital, represented a signifi cant change in their vision for the future of Ukraine’s EASTERN MAINLY 2USSIAN speaking region.

It remains unclear, however, whether the talks can reach a com promise amid the brutal fighting that has contin ued in eastern Ukraine.

about Iraq and the extrem ist group.

Iraq’s request for the U.N. to investigate alleged abuses by the IS was included in a resolu tion that more broadly condemns the group’s severe tactics but also calls on Iraq’s govern ment to protect human rights.

Its aim is to provide the 'ENEVA BASED COUNCIL with a report and evidence next March that could shed further light on Iraqi atrocities and be used as part of any international war crimes prosecution.

The session Monday focused on the threat posed by the militants, who have seized cities, towns and vast tracts of land and carried out a number of massacres and beheadings.

A.A. Milne wrote, “Rivers know this: there is no hurry.

Bridge players know that sometimes there is no hurry, but on other deals, speed is essential.

Now look at today’s deal.

How would you analyze the auction? And what should West lead against three notrump?

North’s two-spade cue-bid, in the modern style, showed at least a game-invitational hand with diamond support.

However, North should have made a negative double, to show his four-card heart suit.

We must check for major-suit fits before falling back on the minors.

Here, if North had doubled, South might have rebid three

diamonds. Then North could have cue-bid three spades to ask his partner to convert to three no-trump with a spade stopper. North, with an aceless wonder, should not be

thinking about five diamonds unless South cannot bid notrump.

Note that after that auction, West, knowing dummy has heart length, would be likely to lead his fourth-highest spade. Then South hurries to take the first 11 tricks: one spade, six diamonds and four clubs.

When North cue-bid two spades, South decided, debatably with such a good hand for diamonds, to rebid two no-trump. Then North cue-bid again to ask if South really could control spades.

At the table, West led the spade seven, but he should have started with a high heart. He should have had a sense of urgency to take the first five tricks – and here East-West could have won the first six: five hearts and one spade. © 2014 UFS

“...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.

New Bears same as old Bears?

T

he last time we saw the Bears on an NFL field, they were an 8-8 football team.

Are these guys better?

Last season, the Bears began with Jay Cutler at quarterback and Josh McCown coming off an ugly preseason.

Although Cutler figures to be better this year, there is absolutely nothing to suggest Jimmy Clausen can play the way McCown did last year if he’s called on. Of course, there Jimmy was nothing Clausen to suggest Bears backup QB McCown could do it last year, either. David Fales is probably the biggest surprise on the roster, and not a factor.

We’ll call quarterback marginally better because of Cutler.

Running back is weaker than it was last year. Matt Forte is one of the best in the league, and although he’s getting to a dangerous age at the position, he’s shown no signs of slowing down.

The problem is Michael Bush looked like a strong No. 2 going into last season, and this year, we saw nothing in the preseason to suggest Shaun Draughn, Ka’Deem Carey, or Senorice Perry can back Forte.

After all the hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth, wide receiver is slightly improved. Josh Morgan and Santonio Holmes are better options at No. 3 and No. 4 than Earl Bennett and Joe Anderson were last year.

Tight end is probably a draw. Is Matt Mulligan better than Steve Maneri?

The offensive line is weaker. In 2013, Eben Britton, Jonathan Scott, and James Brown were all known quantities behind the same starting five as we see this year. But while Brian de la Puente may or may not be an upgrade over Brown, Michael Ola and Charles Leno Jr. are raw and unproven.

The defensive line is better, but it may not be anywhere near as improved as many are assuming.

At similar stages in their careers, we have no idea whether Jared Allen has more left in the tank than Julius Peppers, until he shows us.

GIRLS CROSS COUNTRY | 2014 SEASON PREVIEW

Regan ready to run Weidner healthy heading into senior season

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

When Regan Weidner felt a need for speed, it sent her down a path of injury and frustration.

Now the Bureau Valley senior is trying to find a new path to take – one of good health and redemption.

Weidner was once all the rage in girls cross country. She burst onto the scene as a freshman in the fall of 2011, when she placed 21st at the Class 1A state cross country finals at Detweiller Park in Peoria. Her time was 18 minutes, 19 seconds.

She reached her peak as a sophomore, when she returned to state and took second in the 1A event, with a time of 17:45.

Things began to turn, however, the following winter.

Part of her preparation for her sophomore season of track included Don Beebe House of Speed workouts, to increase her kick for the relatively shorter distances she’d be running in track.

One day before school, a speed workout turned bad.

“I pulled a hip muscle,” Weidner said, “and that’s where all of my problems started. It kind of changed my form.”

Weidner’s track season as a sophomore was a washout, as were her entire junior seasons of cross country and track. It was a seemingly endless cycle of rest, trying to get into some sort of running form, and then injury.

Marcos make impression in opener Polo dominates East Dubuque in every phase for Week 1 win

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

POLO – After a 40-14 blowout win over East Dubuque, it was hard to tell what was more satisfying to the Polo Marcos – beating their opponents, or proving the doubters wrong.

“The newspaper said East Dubuque was supposed to go 9-0 and beat us,” Polo running back Kevin Cheeseman said.

“But, we smacked them in the mouth.”

“That was motivation for our kids. We want to be in the top tier of the conference,” Polo coach Andrew Hofer said. “Looking in their eyes before the game, I could tell we were ready.”

Ready, they were.

Using a stable of five different runners, Polo started the game by marching 72 yards on nine plays for an easy score.

Dixon’s Kyle LeBlanc (30) tackles Monmouth-Roseville’s Dee Coleman during their Week 1 game Friday night at A.C. Bowers Field. The Dukes won 25-0, their first shutout since Week 1 of the 2011 season.

BY CODY CUTTER CCUTTER SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

The first week of the high school football season has come to a conclusion ... finally.

Despite Mother Nature’s best attempt at throwing a wrench into the plan, here are some important numbers of note from seasp openers around the area:

1

That’s the number of minutes between the second quarter and the third quarter at Landers-Loomis Field, where Oregon took on Johnsburg.

With a long lightning delay stopping play with 42 seconds left in the second quarter Friday, Oregon school officials decided to consider the lightning delay as halftime, and play a second half lasting 24 minutes and 42 seconds long. The break between the quarters was 1 minute.

3

That’s the number of games involving area teams that were postponed until Saturday.

Milledgeville, Morrison, and Polo each had to suit up one more time. Only Polo came away with a win, beating East Dubuque 40-14 in Polo.

Milledgeville’s 2-day adventure didn’t fare so well, falling 18-7 at Floyd Daub Field to Warren.

Morrison’s journey didn’t turn out so well, either. The Mustangs traveled a total of 224 miles to Princeton and back, twice, only to open their season with a 35-7 loss to the Tigers.

5

That’s the number of hours it took from a 7 p.m. kickoff to the end of Rock Falls’ 41-0 loss at Harvard.

Like last year, the game ended just past midnight. With the Rockets traveling a whopping 186 miles round-trip, keeping the game running without interruption was imperative.

14

Consecutive wins for Newman, after avenging last year’s loss to Rockridge with a 20-14 win on Friday.

The Comets rounded out last year with 13 straight wins en route to a Class 2A state championship. This is the longest football winning streak in the area.

27

That’s the number of games since Dixon last notched a shutout before its 25-0 win at A.C. Bowers Field against MonmouthRoseville. The Dukes allowed just 52 yards of total offense, and recovered four Titan fumbles.

The Dave Smith era began at Dixon in Week 1 of the 2011 season with a 26-0 win over United Township at East Moline’s Soule Bowl. Three years and 3 days later, the Dukes opened another new era with a win: Competing as a Big Northern Conference school.

62

That’s the number of points scored by Eastland-Pearl City in its shutout at West Carroll.

The Wildcatz now have four 60-plus-point games in the past 10 seasons, two of them occurring last season. However, the plentiful point total put forth on Friday falls 12 short of the school record of 74, achieved in a loss to Aquin in 2002.

Newman and Oregon have three 60-plus-point games in the past ten seasons.

205

That’s the number of yards gained by Fulton’s offense in the second half in its loss to Orion.

The Charger defense stuffed the Steamers all throughout the first half, posting a total of -8 yards. Touchdown runs made up 131 yards of the Steamers’ output. Sophomore quarterback Tyler Sweenie played a part in each of them, with rushes of 46 and 40 yards, and throwing a 45-yard completion to senior Jason Osborn.

Kahne gets boost with win Stewart crashes, finishes 41st in first race since accident

BY CHARLES ODUM !0 3PORTS 7RITER

HAMPTON, Ga. – Kasey Kahne’s “downer� year received an important boost when he overcame his struggles with restarts with a big power move when he needed it the most.

Kahne charged past Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin in a twolap shootout to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway on Sunday night.

Kahne’s first win of the season earned him a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup. “I struggle with restarts a lot, and that’s big,�

Kahne said. “That’s one of the things you have to be good at. It worked really well tonight.�

Meanwhile, Tony Stewart’s much-anticipated return to racing ended a little more than halfway through the race.

Kahne took his third career win in Atlanta, and his first win of the season. “We’ve had kind of a downer year at times,�

Kahne said.

Kenseth, who finished second, also qualified for the Chase on points.

He began the second restart in first place, but couldn’t stop the charge from Kahne. “I was able to get alongside him and get a good run down the back stretch,� Kenseth AP said. “...

CONTINUED FROM B1

The speedy Cavanaugh upped the advantage to 20-0 on Polo’s next possession on a 65-yard pitch sweep, and the rout was on. Alec Monahan, a 6-3, 210-pound linebacker, had Cavanaugh collared at the sideline, but like both an escape and tightrope artist, Cavanaugh broke free and outran the rest of the defense down the sideline. “We didn’t play well coming off the bus,� said ED coach Terry Breitbach, refusing to make excuses for his team having to make a return 160mile round trip to play on Saturday. “We were letting Polo dictate all phases of the game in the first half.�

Following two straight

penalized hits to the head by Polo defenders and a 32-yard run by Monahan, the Warriors had a first and goal. The Marco defense rose up, making both a stop and statement. “They are very quick on defense,� Breitbach said. “This is an excellent team that will challenge for the conference.�

Brody Grobe promptly led his team on a 90-yard drive, and looked to make it 26-0 just before halftime, but Cheeseman fumbled the ball into the end zone for a touchback.

Monahan cut the lead to 20-7 on a 48-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Grobe and Cavanaugh put it back to a three-score game a few plays later on a 5-yard scoring pass.

Another Monahan touchdown closed the

gap to 26-14 midway through the third quarter, but on the ensuing kickoff, Cavanaugh went 95 yards off a Grobe reverse for a 32-14 Polo lead. “We had the wall set up, and I shot the gap and took off,� said Cavanaugh, who had more than 200 all-purpose yards.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Brooks Grobe stripped an ED receiver, and Polo was on its way to another score.

Cheeseman went over from 2 yards out for the final margin of victory.

Richie Bartnick then had an interception, and the Marcos nearly scored again before time expired. “We have a lot of athletes,� Hofer said. “When you spread them around as much as we do, you’re bound to make big plays.�

A stress fracture in her right leg and shin splints in her left leg resulted in a frustrating junior season.

She tried to run, but was just a shell of her former self.

Bureau Valley coach Dale Donner lauded Weidner’s work ethic, but at the same time, realized he had to try to rein her in a bit. “If you don’t work hard enough, you’re not going to be where you need to be,� Donner said, “and if you work too hard, you’re going to get hurt. You’ve got to find that small part there where you’re working hard enough to be competitive, but not too hard to hurt yourself. “When she came back from her injury, I think she over-worked, and I’m sure both of us were to blame.�

This past summer, Weidner took 6 weeks off from running to let her body heal, then limited herself to about 30 to 35 miles a week of training, along with about an hour a day of elliptical work.

Outside of some general soreness while rounding into running shape, she pronounced herself fit entering the season. “Coach had a goal-time of 17:45 for me, and at state [as a sophomore],

COLLEGE FOOTBALL | ILLINOIS NOTES

Fast start key for Illini Will need to keep up with high-octane W. Kentucky

BY SHANNON RYAN Chicago Tribune

CHAMPAIGN – There are tangible lessons in football, such as tackling techniques and the best way to catch a pass. But how does a coach drill into players the subtle idea of starting a game with crispness?

That’s the challenge for Illinois coaches this week as they prepare to face a high-octane offense in Western Kentucky. “I don’t care who we play against,� coach Tim Beckman said. “We have to start faster. We’ve got to be able to start football games at the pace we need to.�

That would be a lightning-quick pace if the Illini (1-0) want to keep up with the Hilltoppers, who ran more than 100 plays in their 59-31 rout of Bowling Green in their season opener.

In Illinois’ seasonopening victory against Youngstown State, the Illini allowed the Penguins to outgain them 58-24 in first-quarter yards. They were slow to start the second half as well, getting outgained 93-43 in the third quarter.

This problem is nothing new to the Illini, who suffered from slow starts last season. Beckman called it a weakness. “That’s got to get adjusted,� he said.

Beckman said the team would approach practices with more zip

Beckman also gave solid marks to defensive end Jihad Ward. “For his first start, I thought he played good,�

Beckman said.

He also praised freshman receivers Mike Dudek and Malik Turner.

Turner is listed as a possible starter for Saturday’s game, along with junior Justin Hardee.

Extra points: Beckman said he will wait until Thursday to decide AP whether defensive ends Youngstown State wide receiver Andrew Williams Kenny Nelson and Paul (80) has a pass broken up by Illinois defensive backs James III are able to Zane Petty (21) and Eaton Spence (27) during the return from injuries. second quarter of Saturday’s game at Memorial ...

Age a concern for Bears in 2014 ARKUSH

CONTINUED FROM B1

Stephen Paea is right where he was last year, and just how healthy will Jeremiah Ratliff be in Henry Melton’s spot? Remember, Melton was coming off a Pro Bowl season.

Ratliff should be more productive than Landon Cohen.

Lamarr Houston is a definite upgrade, but Willie Young’s career numbers are a hair below Corey Wootton’s. We’ll see whether Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton can play.

Linebacker is weaker. There was cause for optimism last year with Lance Briggs, D.J. Williams, and James Anderson starting, and exciting rookies Jonathan Bostic and Khaseem Greene behind them.

Briggs and Williams appeared a

step slower in the preseason, and Shea McClellin looks out of place and unsure of himself in Anderson’s spot. Bostic and Greene are not as exciting a year later.

The secondary is a draw. Going into 2013, there was hope for Major Wright and Chris Conte at the safety spots. This year, we don’t know who the safeties are, and Charles Tillman, while admittedly notorious for poor preseasons, had another bad one.

Special teams were a major strength going into 2013, and are a major concern today. The regression there is the biggest change in any unit on the team.

Finally, according to research

by Philly.com, the Bears were the 29th-oldest team in the NFL to begin 2013, and they are 30th this year.

Are these guys better than they were at the end of 2013?

Somehow, this doesn’t feel quite as good as it did in March when they were signing all those veteran free agents.

Obviously Cutler, Forte, Brandon Marshall, and Alshon Jeffery have to stay healthy. The loss of any one of those players for a prolonged period could handcuff the offense.

This team is not any deeper than last year, so general health everywhere is a must.

There are 17 players drafted or signed as undrafted rookie free agents last year and this year. A number of them must become core special teamers.

And the defensive line must take a quantum leap forward for this group to be better than 8-8.

TENNIS | U.S. OPEN

Bouchard can’t stand the N.Y. heat Quest for fourth consecutive Grand Slam semifinal denied

BY HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer

NEW YORK – Bothered by the heat and stifling humidity, Eugenie Bouchard felt dizzy and her vision was blurry.

She got her blood pressure checked. Plastic bags filled with ice were rubbed on her shoulders, arms and legs during a second-set medical timeout.

Bouchard tried to carry on, but it was hardly an ideal time to try to win a tennis match. The No. 7-seeded Bouchard became the latest top woman to bow out at this surprise-filled U.S. Open, beaten 7-6 (2), 6-4 Monday by 17th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia in the fourth round.

It ended Bouchard’s streak of making at least the semifinals at each Grand Slam tournament this year.

That included a runner-up finish at Wimbledon in July; the 20-year-old Canadian is only 4-4 since then. “I definitely felt a lot of outside expectations and pressure to win matches. I felt more like it’s normal if I win and it’s a bit more of a disaster when I lose,� Bouchard said. “But that’s something that I need to block out.�

In muggy air, with the temperature in the high 80s, Bouchard began having trouble from the middle of the first set and was checked on by a trainer during

Eugenie Bouchard reacts after a shot against Ekaterina Makarova during the fourth round of the 2014 U.S. Open on Monday in New York. Bouchard lost in straight sets. the changeover after the second set’s fifth game. During that delay, Makarova cooled down by putting ice bags on herself.

Asked what went through her mind during Bouchard’s medical break, Makarova smiled. “Well, actually, I thought, ‘Thanks,’ because I also was tired,�

Makarova said with a smile. “It was really [helpful] for me also.�

It’s not the first time Bouchard has been affected by heat, saying it happened at last year’s U.S. Open, too, and as a junior at the Australian Open. “Once in a while, I get a little bit light-headed,� Bouchard said. “That’s what happens.�

Her exit means that for the first time since 1977, eight different women will have filled the eight finalist slots at a season’s Grand Slam tourneys.

Petra Kvitova defeated Bouchard at Wimbledon; Kvitova departed in the third round in Flushing Meadows against 145th-ranked qualifier Aleksandra Krunic, who tried to pull off another shocker against two-time U.S. Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka but couldn’t quite do it. Azarenka took four of the last five games to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 Monday night.

At the French Open in June, Maria Sharapova edged Simona Halep; Sharapova lost to Caroline Wozniacki in the fourth round in New York, and Halep went out in the third round against qualifier Mirjana Lucic-Baroni.

And at the Australian Open in January, Li Na beat Dominika Cibulkova; Li didn’t even enter the U.S. Open because of a knee injury, and Cibulkova was stunned by 15-year-old American CiCi Bellis in the first round.

Brewers shortstop Jean Segura (9) watches his throw to first base after forcing out the Cubs’ Welington Castillo (5) at second base for a double play during Monday’s game in Chicago. The Cubs won 4-2.

Soler still on fire for Cubs Brewers’ skid now at six By the Associated Press

Jorge Soler has never lacked confidence. Even before being promoted to the major leagues last week, the Cuban slugger declared this season to be “his time.�

But his blistering start with the Chicago Cubs has caught even him off-guard.

Soler doubled twice and scored a run in his Wrigley Field debut as the Cubs beat Milwaukee 4-2 Monday, handing the Brewers their sixth straight loss and knocking them out of the NL Central lead.

Soler became just the third player in the last 100 years to get at least one extra-base hit in each of his first five games in the majors.

Will Middlebrooks did it for Boston in 2012, and Enos Slaughter for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1938.

So far, Soler is batting .526 with three homers and seven RBIs. Welington Castillo and Luis Valbuena homered

to back Justin Turner.

Turner (5-8) won in just his second start for Chicago after being acquired from Miami last month. The righthander allowed just one run and five hits in 6 1/3 innings.

Cardinals 5, Pirates 4:

Matt Holliday had the go-ahead RBI single in the seventh inning after Kolten Wong’s pinch-hit homer tied it, leading the Cardinals over the Pirates in St. Louis.

St. Louis moved into sole possession of first place in the NL Central for the first time this season with its third straight win.

Wong homered off Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole (7-5). Wong did not start after bumping his head in the eighth inning of Sunday’s 9-6 win over the Cubs.

Seth Maness (6-3) picked up the win in relief. Trevor Rosenthal got the last three outs for his 41st save in 46 opportunities.

Chris Kirk (left) shakes hands with Rory McIlroy after finishing on the 18th hole of the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday in Norton, Mass.

Kirk won with a score of 15-under par.

Kirk rallies to win Deutsche Bank title Ryder Cup berth now a possibility By the Associated Press

Chris Kirk made three big putts and captured the biggest win of his career Monday in the Deutsche Bank Championship. Whether that was enough for U.S. captain Tom Watson to add him to the Ryder Cup team was the least of his concerns.

Kirk won for the second time this season. He went the last 37 holes at the TPC Boston without a bogey. He played the final two rounds with Rory McIlroy, and outplayed the No. 1 player in the world. And he closed

with a 5-under 66 for a two-shot victory in a FedEx Cup playoff event.

Was it enough to convince Watson that he was worthy of a captain’s pick? “I certainly don’t feel entitled, or feel like I’m a shoe-in to get a pick,�

Kirk said. “I’ve obviously really put myself into consideration, and it’s something that I would love to do. But like I’ve said before, the nine guys that made it are automatic. Those are the guys on the team.

The other three? If you get in, it’s a bonus.�

Your high energy level will cause you to miscalculate how much you can accomplish this year. Put your responsibilities first and foremost to avoid jeopardizing your health or your position.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone close to you will cause disappointment. Speak up if you feel you’ve been taken for granted. Harboring resentment will not solve the problem. Deal with such matters openly.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -A travel opportunity is apparent.

Check out locations that you find interesting or that could lead to a lifestyle change. A break from your routine will give you a fresh start.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be resourceful when it comes to impressing people who can help you further your career. Networking will lead to an interesting conversation with someone influential. Share your ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Prepare to face not only your troubles, but everyone

else’s grievances as well. Don’t allow someone’s bad mood to get to you. Plan an activity that brings you joy.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Expect to face some dishonest dealing. Keep your plans and intentions a secret to avoid having someone take credit for your ideas. Don’t take sides if an argument breaks out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your ability to absorb and utilize information is the key factor that will help you reach your goals. Your skills, insight and innovative approach will generate positive attention and recognition.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t get drawn into a battle of the wills today. Keep a low profile and avoid a situation that could explode in your face. Stick to your own agenda.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you join a variety of groups or participate in numerous activities, you will get to share your feelings and beliefs with interesting individuals. A day trip will help you gain perspective regarding future employment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Moneymaking opportunities are within your reach. An unexpected windfall is apparent.

Real estate or investment ventures have the potential to yield a tangible return.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t let a negative person dampen your spirits. Get out and socialize or do some entertaining with lively, fun-loving people, and see how quickly your mood turns around.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Changes are happening in the workplace. Sign up for a business course or conference that will help further your vocational goals. If you want something, you have to go after it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Participate in activities that are conducive to expanding romantic opportunities. Whether you want to spice up an existing relationship or start a new one, now’s the time to act.
