‘This is a stresser’ Officials lament latest wave of new rules

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

STERLING – School officials in Illinois started the school year with more than two dozen new requirements from state lawmakers that are not funded.

According to state records, schools in Illinois must comply with more than 24 new laws this year. The new rules include training students how to use automatic external defibrillators and practicing how to evacuate

The additional requirements are down slightly from the average of 27 new rules imposed on districts each year since 2007.

The laws, known as mandates, are being left in the hands of already-cash-hungry school districts.

Local school officials are not thrilled with having to do more with no additional funding.

“We are having a difficult time as it is funding the things that are priorities for us,” said Tad Everett, superintendent of the Sterling School District.

Mandates put on the books in recent years include requiring school districts to accept miniature horses as service animals for certain disabled children.

DIXON – Dixon Main Street is on the hunt for a new executive director.

Josh Albrecht, who has led the nonprofit agency since December 2007, will leave to become the new director of marketing and public affairs for the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The Main Street board hoped to persuade him to stay, but Albrecht made his decision Monday night, Main Street board President Scott Brown said Tuesday morning.

Albrecht’s first day in Rockford will be Sept. 29, the RACVB said in a news release.

It was a tough decision, but in the end, “it’s just a great career opportunity for me,” Albrecht said.

SUBLETTE

COMMUNITY WATCH

Local agencies help with 1990 Mendota cold case No remains of Blumhorst found in Bartlett Woods with the search, which took place in a small area of the 26-acre Veronica preserve, Blumhorst also known as Knox Grove. It’s northeast of Knox Road between Henkel Road and Bureau Creek, about 2.5 miles southeast of Sublette.

In fall 2012, her brother, Todd Blumhorst hired a cadaver dog team trained in scenting old burial sites to search areas in and around Mendota. The dogs made a positive hit in the preserve at the time, and again in June 2013, he told the Illinois Valley News Tribune.

Blumhorst has since died of cancer.

SUBLETTE – “Credible leads� in a case involving a long-missing Mendota woman sent the Lee County Sheriff’s Department to look for her body in a patch of woods in Sublette last week.

No remains were found Sept. 2 in the Lee County Water and Soil Conservation District’s Bartlett Woods Nature Preserve, Mendota police said in a news release.

That is the lead agency investigating the 1990 disappearance of Veronica Jill Blumhorst, who was 21 when she went missing early that Sept.

20 after leaving her job at the Super Valu grocery store in Mendota.

The Lee County sheriff’s department and state police crime scene investigators assisted

ty Historical Society and the conservation district helped the two law enforcement agencies to research whether there might be remains of Indians or settlers in the area.

After several months, it was determined there were no known mounds or artifacts in the area, and excavation began on a 15-by-15-foot parcel.

Cadaver dogs were used, and the dig, which took 8 or 9 hours, was done by hand, Mendota Police Chief Tom Smith said.

The department is not giving up on the 24-yearold case, Smith said. “We get leads all the time, and we’re following up on a regular basis,� he said. “We do check out any lead that comes in. Not all of them pan out, and some of them, like this one, take a little longer to check out.�

MORRISON

Officials ‘cautiously optimistic’ after EPA meeting Engineers explore scaling back on wastewater plan

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

MORRISON – City officials believe progress was made at a recent meeting with state regulators about financing a new wastewater treatment plant.

Mayor Everett Pannier and a few other city leaders went to Springfield last week to discuss plans for its estimated $23 million infrastructure project with representatives

from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.

The city decided in July to delay the project for a year, in the hope that new financing rules being ushered in next year by the agency could make the project more affordable.

Pannier said the discussions about funding and compliance went well. “We came away feeling cautiously optimistic that we might be able to work with them,� Pannier said. “They can’t promise anything on grants, but we believe we’re in a good position to get a 30-year, zero-interest loan.�

Everett Pannier

Barry Dykhuizen

The mayor still hopes some grant money will be available to take part of the burden off the city at the beginning of the project.

The compliance part of the conversation could be key to reducing the cost. The city and EPA are working with an engineering firm on requirements to determine whether money can be

saved by scaling back a bit on the project.

Morrison residents have been warned that they can expect steep increases in water and sewer utility rates as a result of the new plant. Many variables are still at play as city officials try to figure out exactly how much bills will go up.

City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said the city’s consulting engineer was working on a rate analysis. He said any financing scenario would be hypothetical until the EPA finalized its lending terms. “A loan with zero percent interest definitely

STRESSER

CONTINUED FROM A1

Other new laws focus on bullying, Internet safety and ensuring movable soccer goals are installed safely. “Some of the mandates are curriculum-based and, traditionally, they have good meaning to them,� Everett said. “It’s frustrating, because we are not getting all of our state aid to run our schools, yet we are required to do this.�

School funding has been severely cut in recent years, mainly because of a decline in state aid.

With less money to work with, local officials say the cost of complying with new requirements comes at the expense of other programs. “We are expected as a school district to find a way to get those things done,�

Everett said. “Those ways are slimmer and slimmer financially. But expectations continue to increase.�

Michael Juenger, superintendent of the Dixon School

‘‘

This just shows how Illinois legislation works, unfortunately. They are prorating state aid, yet they are adding on unfunded mandates on top of that.

District, said the unfunded mandates affect what resources the school district already uses. “It means we will have more thrown at the teachers and staff,� Juenger said. “This cuts into our time to do other things.�

Juenger also said only so much can be completed in one day. “There is only so much time in the day to do everything,� Juenger said. “We have things that are added to our plate, but we have very few things that are taken off.

This is a stresser for teachers.�

Ron McCord, superintendent of the Rock Falls High School District, said the unfunded mandates handed down by the state is frustrating.

McCord said some of the mandates are good ideas, but he said lawmakers do not take into account what school district have to go through in order to incorporate the mandates into their teaching and learning strategies. “This just shows how Illinois legislation works, unfortunately,� McCord said. “They are prorating general state aid, yet they are adding on unfunded mandates on top of that.�

According to reports compiled since 2007 by the state school board, the high point for new mandates came in 2011 when 46 were ordered by lawmakers. The next highest year was in 2007 with 42 mandates. “All schools are in this together,� McCord said. “It can be really frustrating.�

neers deviate from the original plan will be a determining factor in the project’s timeline. “There might be some design changes, so the earliest we would start construction would be late next year,� Pannier said.

The city was issued a citation for its 1930s wastewater system in 2012, and told to replace it in the next 3 years. Significant storms would cause overflow at the treatment plant, allowing untreated wastewater to escape. The city is now in compliance with EPA regulations, Pannier said.

eases the burden on the users of the city’s sewer system,� Dykhuizen said.

Dykhuizen said he would still anticipate substantial increases over the next couple of years, but with no interest, he would expect the rate to even out sooner than expected.

He said city officials would continue to explore every avenue to make such a large project less painful for residents. “That’s why we traveled to Springfield last week – we just want to be sure we are doing everything we can in terms of cost control,� Dykhuizen said.

WHITESIDE COUNTY | COMMUNITY STEPS IN

A year later, a new April House in Morrison Public invited to open house Friday

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com

EXT

MORRISON – A little more than a year after Whiteside County’s child advocacy center, April House, faced almostcertain closure, its luck has completely turned around – thanks to an outpouring of community support.

Friday, the public is invited to tour the newly renovated location.

W i t h Johanna Hager mounting bills and the loss of a crucial state grant that had kept the center up and running, Johanna Hager, April House’s executive director – and its sole employee – was at a loss for what to do.

A July 22, 2013, news article detailed the center’s plight and the extent of its monetary difficulties. April House, a place where victims of child sexual abuse, physical abuse and serious neglect go to be interviewed about the things they have endured, was clearly in dire straits.

Last July, Hager couldn’t even afford the $3,000 needed to apply for accreditation with the National Children’s Alliance, something April House needs to be eligible for government grants like the one from the state attorney general’s office that it had relied on for years.

Less than 2 weeks later, the center received $31,545 in donations, most of which came in the form of a $12,500 United Way grant, and a private donor who matched it.

Since then, the community has continued to show its support.

When the County Board approved April House’s move from 503 N. Madison St. to the house next door at 501, a local group immediately stepped in help renovate it.

Major improvements to the original location would have been needed to bring it up to the standards required for accreditation; it was much less expensive to fix up the gray house next door.

That’s where the Twin Cities Sunrise Rotary Club came in. Members have been working since April to upgrade the

house, an effort Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi called “invaluable.�

In October, Hager, gave a presentation about the center and its financial struggles at the club’s meeting. “It just sparked a lot of emotion in the club that day, and even before she left, we had already started a petition to see if we could raise some money,� club President Dean Ahlers said in a previous interview. “And it snowballed from there.�

Including the work done by the club, donations have totaled around $50,000, Wilhelmi estimated.

State’s Attorney Trish Joyce agreed. “We feel relieved,�

Joyce said. “We feel so grateful to the community, to individuals, to businesses – especially to the Sunrise Rotary

Public library has new director OREGON – Andrew Dettman is the new director of the Oregon Public Library.

He succeeds Marsha Zaccone, who will retire Saturday after nearly 10 years in the position.

Dettman, who is from Rockford, has a master’s degree in library and information science from the City University of London, and a bachelor’s in history and political science from

Northern Illinois University, where he is working on a master’s in public administraAndrew tion.

Dettman “My career goal has always been to serve a public library,� Dettman said. “All my education and work experience has been geared toward that goal. I am very excited

about my new position at the Oregon library and I’m excited to be a part of this vibrant community.�

Dettman has worked for the Ida and the Madison, Wisconsin, public libraries, among others, and the Institute of Historical Research in London. He also worked for the Carpenter’s Place Homeless Shelter and serves on the Rockford Mayoral Task Force on Homelessness.

Wilhelmi said. “We’ve had so many people who have given without hesitation. It’s been incredible.� “But we’re not out of the woods yet,� Joyce said. “The money received has helped us pay back due bills and work toward accreditation ... but we still need to fundraise ... we still will have about a $30,000 deficit each year, unless we’re able to raise those monies on our own.�

For the second year in a row, they’re planning a golf outing at Cross Creek Golf Course in Morrison, Joyce said, and it’s that kind of independent fundraising that could keep April House running for many more years to come.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

Steelworker’s many musings will be missed What we think A retired steelworker known for writing letters to the editor recently died. Earl Cook, an enthusiastic contributor to the local marketplace of ideas, will be missed.

W

e were saddened to learn of the death of a man whose musings were once a regular part of The Reader’s Voice.

Earl P. Cook, 71, of Chadwick, died Saturday at his daughter’s home in Sterling.

Cook served in the U.S. Navy before embarking on a career at Northwestern Steel and Wire Co. that lasted for more than 30 years.

The retired steelworker had plenty to say on a variety of topics.

He was in favor of President Obama and his policies. “I’m proud to have voted for Obama,� he wrote.

He had little good to say about Presidents Reagan or George W. Bush. He bemoaned the fact that he had once voted for President Nixon.

He was against NAFTA and any hint of unionbusting. He did not believe in the new law that allows the concealed carry of handguns.

He opposed outsourcing. He was in favor of buying products made in the USA. Cook called several times for the repaving of state Route 40 north of Sterling and wondered why nothing was being done. “This road has been a piece of junk for the

past 25 years that I have driven on it,� he wrote in 2012.

He called for a cap on medical costs and raised concerns about wind turbines proposed for rural areas.

Cook was sharply critical of people who dumped their unwanted pets near his rural home, writing several times on the topic. “Please take your pets to the pound or vet or even an animal shelter to get rid of them,� he wrote in 2010. “I’m getting tired of them showing up at my doorstep.�

Cook’s final letter, in April 2013, praised the township and county road crews in Carroll County for doing a good job.

Cook was an enthusiastic contributor to the local marketplace of ideas. “If you don’t like my opinion,� he once wrote, “then write one and take it to the paper. I’m sure I’ll be reading it.�

Whether you agreed with him or not, Cook demonstrated the courage of his convictions by jotting down his opinions, submitting them to The Reader’s Voice, and entering the fray.

We offer our condolences to his family and friends.

Farewell, Earl.

Program makes phone service more affordable ALLEN CHERRY Chicago

The week of Sept. 8-14 is National Lifeline Awareness Week, and the Universal Telephone Assistance Corp. wants to take the opportunity to reach out to local residents who cannot afford a phone.

You may qualify for assistance that will help to ensure that you can reach out for help in an emergency.

Can you imagine being completely without a phone? Unable to dial a friend or family member in a time of need? Phone service has become such a routine part of our lives that we hardly even think about it anymore.

Unfortunately, the reality of living without a phone is faced by too many Illinois residents every day. Illinois lags behind much of the nation in telephone subscribership despite being one of the most industrialized and technically advanced states in the nation. Illinois residents without a phone cannot even dial 9-1-1.

For those who cannot afford a phone, an assistance program called Lifeline is available to reduce the monthly cost of phone service on one phone in your household.

Visit www.linkupillinois.org to find out more about the program, qualifications, and how to enroll.

Note to readers: Allen Cherry is the Universal Telephone Assistance Corp. board president.

STATEHOUSE INSIDER

The days of wine and wages Quinn’s push lawn mower also makes the scene The state’s unpaid bill backlog was more than $3 billion last week, according to the comptroller’s office. And the money-saving pension reform law looks more and more as if it’s going down in the courts.

The list of woes facing the state goes on.

Against that backdrop, we bring you the 2014 Illinois campaign for governor, Labor Day week edition:

Living on less Gov. Pat Quinn decided to take the minimum wage challenge to underscore his support for increasing the state’s minimum wage.

Not to mention draw attention to the advisory referendum on the fall ballot asking voters whether the minimum wage should be increased – aka a Democratic-voter-turnout-improvement plan.

Under the challenge, Quinn must live for a week on $79, the amount a minimum wage worker supposedly has available to spend after covering the cost of housing and transportation. Quinn said for him that meant a breakfast banana and for dinner sometimes just graham crackers.

H

dougFINKE Doug Finke’s column is syndicated

by GateHouse News Service.

Contact him at doug. finke@sj-r. com.

He did allow that he drank water instead of iced tea when he ate out.

Really? Eating out seems like a bit of a luxury when you’re trying desperately to conserve money.

Critics called the whole thing a stunt. It is. By definition, anyone who takes the challenge isn’t making the minimum wage. They know that in a week, it will be over.

That isn’t the case for people making the minimum wage. No matter how you slice it, the experience isn’t the same.

Wine and dine Meanwhile, Republican Bruce Rauner admitted that he belongs to a private wine club where it costs more than 100 grand for the right to buy expensive bottles of wine. Consider it sort of a personal cask license.

Although wine is consumed by people of all income brackets, it’s still a drink more associated with upper incomes and elitists. That’s particularly true when you drink wine where it costs

six figures just to get a chance to buy a bottle.

That stuff doesn’t come in boxes.

Rauner likes to show off his regular-guy trappings, like his $18 watch, Carhartt jacket, and now his beater of a van. You’d think that with all of his planning to run for governor, he would have thought to stock up on a few cases of Old Style to trot out at just the right moment to show that he’s just one of the guys.

Quinn goes mowing Quinn put out a new campaign ad last week about how he’s made cuts to state government.

The video features Quinn mowing the grass at his Chicago home using a 63-year-old push lawn mower. For those of you who have never seen such a thing, it’s a lawn mower with no engine on it. The pusher provides the energy that cuts the grass. Quaint, but it leaves a small carbon footprint. The mower, by the way, belongs to Quinn.

You get the point, right?

Government had to be cut, and Quinn cut it, just like his lawn.

As Quinn points out in the ad, those cuts included closing 50 state properties. That would be properties such as prisons and facilities for the developmentally disabled.

‘‘

Critics called the whole thing a stunt. It is. By definition, anyone who takes the challenge isn’t making the minimum wage.

They know that in a week, it will be over.

’’

Doug Finke

The ad is running statewide. It will be interesting to see how it is received in those areas where facilities were closed and people put out of work in the name of making budget cuts.

The ad could have been much more dramatic in making its point. Quinn has often said he was forced to take these actions because of the colossal mess he inherited when he became governor.

Now just think if that mess had been symbolized by Quinn’s lawn last May when the governor’s neighbors were complaining that it was overgrown with 2-foottall weeds.

Filming him chopping through that mess with a push mower would have been effective, indeed.

Council tried to retain Albrecht with salary bump ALBRECHT

CONTINUED FROM A1

“I really enjoyed my time with Dixon Main Street,” he said, citing the support of the community, the Main Street board, and its volunteers, which helped him to flourish in his role. “There still are a lot of great things to come, and I look forward to seeing them.”

The Main Street board is still working out details in the search for his replacement, Brown said, and information on that process will be released soon.

Albrecht might be best known for scoring a major coup when the internationally popular British folk rock band Mumford & Sons decided to bring its Gentlemen of the Road tour to Dixon in summer 2012. He turned the concert into a 2-day festival with several other bands that brought 15,000 people to Dixon’s downtown.

Afterward, Jam Productions contracted with Albrecht to help plan the Gentlemen of the Road festival stopovers in subsequent host cities.

A year later, when Albrecht was being wooed by two other cities, the Dixon City Council raised his salary from $40,000 to $65,000 in a bid to keep him.

Dixon Main Street is partially funded by, but separate from, the city; its purpose is to promote the downtown through various programs and events.

It has a budget of about $100,000 a year.

In addition to Albrecht, it has one employee: Giana Bonneur, 33, of Morrison, who since May 1 has overseen all events and promotions that take place on the city’s riverfront, in addition to working on other Main Street promotions.

Bonneur will continue in that role, and will be heavily relied on during the transition, Brown said.

After Albrecht took the helm, Main Street expanded its calendar to more than 50 days of events, took over dayto-day operation of the riverfront and coordination of Second Saturdays, and assisted in coordinating Petunia Festival, among

Mumford & Sons takes the stage Aug. 18, 2012, at Page Park in Dixon to headline the Gentlemen of the Road stopover, which brought about 15,000 people to downtown Dixon.

Sportscore Two and Rockford’s downtown sports complex.

The bureau also noted Albrecht’s Main Street accomplishments in its release.

In addition to the Mumford & Sons stopover, which “helped reset the community’s image as a progressive hub for live entertainment and riverfront revival, .... Albrecht oversaw daily operations, including four subcommittees and 70 active volunteers.”

“During this time, Dixon Main Street expanded its focus on creating community and family events, advocated for the historic preservation of downtown Dixon, and built a team of partners to grow and support locally owned businesses,” the Rockford statement said.

“Recognizing possible synergies, Albrecht oversaw the consolidation of the Dixon Riverfront Commission into Dixon Main Street, allowing the two organizations to accomplish more by working collaboratively.”

John Groh is president and CEO of the RACVB. “In Dixon, Josh has

cultivated a new energy that has changed the community’s image – internally and externally. I know his knack for promotions and marketing will lead to similar results here,” he said in the release.

Brown, too, had nothing but praise Tuesday for the 34-year-old Morrison native.

“Josh has played an invaluable role to Dixon Main Street and the Dixon community over the last 7 years,” the Main Street board president said in the release.

“He has been a tremendous asset developing festivals and programs to promote the city and help create a sense of community pride for all ages.

“Josh has left his mark on Dixon, and we worked hard to keep him here.

He will be missed, but we recognize his new position will have the benefits of further growth potential to advance his career.”

For now, Albrecht said, he and his wife, Kelly, will continue to live in Dixon with their three sons, ages 9, 5 and 2.

Herb adds bright element to pork, chicken and fish

BY DANIEL NEMAN MCT News Service

ost herbs defy easy description. Trying to discuss the flavor of thyme or oregano leads only to vague adjectives. Calling rosemary “woody” doesn’t quite cut it.

But tarragon is easy.

Tarragon tastes sort of like licorice.

It does not taste entirely like licorice; if it did, people would just put licorice in their food, and that would be gross.

But tarragon is certainly reminiscent of it, in a mild way.

This is not to say that tarragon itself is mild.

It is quite strong; a little goes a long way.

But when that little bit is applied to the right dishes, the result can be divine.

Most frequently, it is used as a bright punctuation to chicken, both in its later form (chicken) and its early one (eggs). Snip a few tarragon leaves over scrambled eggs and you have instantly elevated your breakfast. Mix a bit into chicken salad or egg salad and you have turned lunch from ordinary to grand.

Tarragon is also used frequently to bring out the best in seafood. A little tarragon added to shrimp, olive oil, shallots and garlic makes an outstanding topping for pasta. Most fin fish, too, benefit by being lightly blessed with tarragon.

And what about the other white meat? Pork is paired less frequently with tarragon, but the herb is an excellent complement to it.

And you can even find respectable recipes for tarragon sauces to be served with big-flavored beef, though you won’t find them here. What you will find here are two recipes for chicken, one for pork and one for salmon.

The recipes for chicken are not just among my favorite recipes for tar-

ragon and not even just among my favorite recipes for chicken. They are among my favorite recipes, ever.

The first comes from the Trellis restaurant in Williamsburg, Virginia, which used to be great until the chef became famous, and then the quality of the cooking dropped considerably (I haven’t been in years, so I don’t know how it is now). While it was still great, they came up with a grilled chicken dish with Dijon mustard and tarragon.

Here is how easy it is: You take a chicken and

coat it with a mixture of mustard, wine and tarragon. You wait 24 hours.

Then you grill it.

It is easily among the best grilled chicken you will ever have. It is certainly among the best grilled chicken I have ever had. And the genius of the recipe is you don’t even have to grill it. It makes a great baked chicken or pan-sauteed chicken.

Or you could do what I did and combine each of these methods. I put the chicken on a hot, cast-iron grill pan to get some of the flavor of a grill, flipped it over and

then finished it off in the oven.

It was outstanding.

The other favorite chicken-and-tarragon recipe comes from Turkey. What makes it so outstanding is that the flavors all get trapped in bulgur, which adds a nutty taste of its own.

Also, there is a lot of butter. The butter helps.

The butter also gets trapped in the bulgur.

Yum. There, it also mixes with onions, tomatoes, green peppers and chicken stock. As I said, yum.

The bulgur makes the dish stick-to-your-ribs

But it is so deliriously good you will want to make it year-round. Though the flavors are bold, they are light enough to make it a perfect meal for the summer, too.

For a dish with fish, I went the salmon-withmayonnaise route. A dollop of mayonnaise mixed with herbs is a delicious way to add elegance to poached salmon, and tarragon goes with mayonnaise the way peanut butter goes with jelly.

Then, I found an additional element online

that, frankly, I would not have thought to do. I did not poach the salmon in water, stock or wine, or any combination of them. I poached it in beer.

As it turns out, salmon and beer go together like, well, tarragon and mayonnaise. And the creaminess of the tarragon mayo makes a perfect foil for the flavor of the beer.

The tarragon is also part of the sauce for the pork dish, pork chops with mushroom-tarragon sauce. Mushrooms, tarragon and wine make up one of those classic gravies that can be paired with any number of dishes.

In this case, we did it with pork chops. The mildness of the meaty chops really allowed the flavor of the tarragon to come through. And also the flavors of the mushrooms and wine.

Tarragon. It goes with everything.

Chicken with Bulgur, Tomatoes, Peppers and Tarragon Yield: 4 servings 1 chicken 6 tablespoons unsalted butter 13⁄4 cups finely chopped onions 1 cup seeded and chopped red and/or green bell peppers 1 or 2 red or green jalapeños 3 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves 2 ripe tomatoes, peeled and chopped Salt and pepper 2 cups bulgur 3½ cups chicken stock (preferably homemade) Cut chicken into 8 serving pieces: thighs, legs, each breast cut in half.

Bones is a 4 1/2 year old Beagle. He has a short tri-colored coat.

He is neutered and seems to be housebroke. His owners just did not have the time for him any longer. Bones does love lots of attention and will “bay” to let you know he needs some lovin’. Bones is a happy hound that enjoys going for walks and getting to sniff everything. He is good natured with all people. This boy came in weighing 40 pounds and is on weight-control food. He definitely needs to shed a few pounds! Bones is so sweet and could fit right into your home! Do realize that hounds follow their noses outside and should be on a leash if there is no fenced yard.

ELECTION 2014 | ILLINOIS GOVERNOR’S RACE

Rauner, Quinn go personal in TV appearance CHICAGO (AP) – The Illinois governor’s race got personal Tuesday, as Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican Bruce Rauner took pointed jabs at each other’s character and honesty over issues such as hiring, taxes and finances while sitting side-by-side during a televised editorial session.

The nearly 90-minute meeting before the Chicago Tribune’s editorial board was a clear sign the gloves are off in the nation-

ally watched race in which the GOP see a chance to take President Barack Obama’s home state, one of the last remaining Democratic strongholds in the Midwest.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, accused the venture capitalist of bribing lawmakers to oppose a pension overhaul he supported, lying about state pension business, “profiteering” and not taking responsibility for companies in which he had

a stake. Rauner claimed Quinn misled taxpayers, harmed the state’s business climate, took money from special interests and continued the hiring practices of now imprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

WASHINGTON

“You are engaged in the same patronage, the same corruption, the same cronyism that has plagued Illinois for decades, just like your partner and friend Rod Blagojevich,” Rauner said.

Quinn said Rauner dodged responsibility for companies in which his former investment firm, GTCR, was involved. A criminal investigation found executives at a Michigan-based company falsified financial informa-

tion to make the company appear more valuable.

Rauner stepped down from the board and his firm sold most of its stock – making at least $32 million – shortly before the stock’s value plummeted, the Tribune reported. Investors lost about $285 million.

“This is a classic example of what was said to be one of the biggest accounting frauds in American history. ... He ran out the door, took the profits and left all the

shareholders and customers and workers holding the bag,” Quinn said.

The matchup has been closely watched, featuring high-profile visits to Illinois from White House officials and Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who is expected in Springfield today. Both sides have spent millions. Quinn is seeking a second full term, while Rauner, of Winnetka, is making his first bid for public office.

Same-sex marriage heading for Supreme Court vote?

Decision on getting involved could come by end of month

AP

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky, gestures in the manner of protesters during the recent unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, as he questions witnesses Tuesday during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington.

Congress considers review of use of military gear by state, local police WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. government programs to help local police agencies obtain militarygrade equipment evolved in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. But more than a decade later, lawmakers are questioning why small-town police departments need armored vehicles, automatic weapons and camouflage uniforms.

“How do they decide an MRAP is appropriate?” Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., asked officials from the Homeland Security, Defense and Justice departments of the 617 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicles given to local authorities in recent years.

“It’s not a truck. It is a ... offensive weapon,” he said Tuesday at a hearing of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

About $5.1 billion in military equipment has been given to local authorities since a Defense Department transfer program was created in 1990.

The new scrutiny on Capitol Hill was prompted by weeks of violent con-

flicts between police in Ferguson, Missouri, and protesters upset about the fatal police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old.

Most military equipment is provided to local police under a program administered by Homeland Security and the Pentagon.

“These programs were established with a very good intention: to provide equipment that would help law enforcement perform their duties,” said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., chairman of that Senate committee.

“The question is whether what our police receive matches what they truly need to uphold the law.”

Emerging from a lengthy back-and-forth with the officials who oversee equipment transfer and grant programs was a clear trading of blame for what lawmakers described as a lack of oversight.

The Softener Man Repair on all makes & models Service Call Special $19.95 Over 30 years experience 815-323-1622

Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who also serves on the Armed Services Committee, questioned why more heavy-duty armored vehicles have been given to local police agencies than state National Guard units.

“Could it be the Guard doesn’t want them, because they know they tear up roads, flip easily and have limited applicability?” McCaskill asked the witnesses.

Defense Undersecretary Alan Estevez told lawmakers state coordinators are ultimately responsible for vetting requests for guns, the multi-ton vehicles originally designed to keep troops in Afghanistan and Iraq safe from roadside bombs, and other equipment the military no longer needs.

sons for them to wait,” says Dale Carpenter, a gay rights expert at the University of Minnesota law school. “You have almost no one at this point opposed to certiorari,” the legal term for high court review.

Officials in five states in which marriage bans were struck down by federal courts have rushed their appeals to the Supreme Court, in time for consideration by the justices when they meet in private Sept. 29. Moving at breakneck speed, at least for the legal system, Indiana and Wisconsin filed appeals Tuesday, just 5 days after

WASHINGTON (AP) – Both sides in the gay marriage debate agree on one thing: It’s time for the Supreme Court to settle the matter.

Even a justice recently said she thinks so, too.

The emerging consensus makes it likely that the justices soon will agree to take up the question of whether the Constitution forbids states from defining marriage as the union of a man and a woman.

A final ruling isn’t likely before June 2015, but a decision to get involved could come as soon as the end of this month.

“I don’t see a lot of rea-

the federal appeals court in Chicago struck down their state bans. The Chicago decision itself came just 9 days after judges heard arguments, extremely fast for a process that usually is measured in months. Officials in Oklahoma, Utah and Virginia also have appealed to the Supreme Court.

Adding to the momentum, the winners in all those cases – who typically want to preserve their lower court victories and would normally oppose Supreme Court review – want the justices to weigh in. As expected, so do the losers.

Shoshana Zuboff, who recently retired from her post as the Charles Edward Wilson Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, said, “Activities that seem to represent choices are often inert reproductions of accepted practice.”

There are bridge deals that appear to fit a mold, but with careful analysis, one can see that they are not an inert reproduction of accepted practice.

In today’s deal, South is in two no-trump. How should he plan the play after West leads the heart queen and East signals with his nine?

South starts with six top tricks: two spades, one heart and three diamonds. There are two routes to eight tricks:

four spades, one heart and three diamonds; or two spades, one heart and five diamonds. Getting four spade tricks seems to require the finesse to work – a 50 per-

cent chance; while collecting five diamond winners is a 54 percent shot.

So it seems right to play on diamonds. Here, though, when the diamonds break badly, South does not have a hand entry to take the spade finesse. He will cash the spade ace and king to drop the queen, but that only provides three tricks in the suit, not four. The right line, after winning with the heart ace, is to lead the spade jack to encourage West to cover if he has the queen. But after he plays low, declarer wins with dummy’s king and cashes the spade ace. When the queen drops, South leads a spade to his nine, then takes dummy’s three top diamonds and spade 10 for his contract.

If the spade queen does not appear, declarer needs diamonds to run. © 2014 UFS

McDonald’s August sales metric hurt by supplier scandal in China OAK BROOK (AP) – McDonald’s said Tuesday that a key global sales figure fell 3.7 percent in August, driven lower as the world’s biggest hamburger chain’s unit that includes the Asia-Pacific region dropped 14.5 percent due to a food-safety scandal in China.

That unit also includes the Middle East and Africa.

McDonald’s Corp. said earlier this month that it will monitor its suppliers in China more closely after a food-safety scandal in the country hurt its sales and reputation. The announcement came after a TV report in July showed work-

ers at McDonald’s supplier Shanghai Husi Food Co. – a division of OSI Group Inc. – repacking expired meat.

McDonald’s stopped using the plant in Shanghai.

The company plans to increase audits and video monitoring at its suppliers and send more employees to meat production facilities to ensure its food is prepared safely. It has also named a new food safety officer and created a hotline where employees can report poor food safety practices.

McDonald’s is not the only fast-food company to be hurt by food-safety concerns in China. Yum

Brands Inc., whose brands include KFC and Pizza Hut, has also stopped using meat from the Shanghai plant and said that its restaurants cut all ties with OSI in China, the United States and Australia.

McDonald’s anticipates the China scandal will hurt its third-quarter results by about 15 cents to 20 cents per share compared with its year-ago results.

In the United States, sales at established locations in operation at least 13 months declined 2.8 percent in August. The figure dipped 0.7 percent in Europe due to weakness in Russia.

Shoe is made for Oregon builds on latest loss to beat Rock Falls winning Steamers hoping to end rivalry skid

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085 ext. 5551

ROCK FALLS – After finishing their tournament on Saturday with a close loss against Keith Country Day, the Oregon Hawks looked to build on the plays that worked against the Class 1A power.

On Tuesday at Tabor Gym, they put their skills to the test.

The Hawks started their match against Rock Falls on a high note, with the connection of Delaney Mahoney and Emy Wright putting together kills on the left corner. The successful combination was the spark that carried Oregon to a 25-20, 25-16 win over the Rockets.

Down 6-3 in the first set, Mahoney found Wright for two straight kills – the first a spike and the next a tip – to get within one. After Mahoney posted a block to tie the set, she once more found Wright in the left corner to take the lead. An ace

by Alana Leamanczyk followed before another Wright slam straight down the left sideline left the Rockets with no answer.

“Delaney found Emy, who was working right from the beginning,” Oregon coach Faith Watson said. “Fortunately it happened early.

Kegan North is hoping to give Fulton fans a thrill they haven’t experienced in more than a decade.

Come Friday night, he’s hoping the Steamers can hoist the Wooden Shoe trophy after 48 minutes of battle with Morrison.

Started by former Morrison Athletic Director Gus Linke in 1977, with a nod to the strong Dutch heritage Kegan in the area, the North Wooden Shoe Fulton goes to the winjunior ner between Morrison and Fulton in varsity football. Morrison holds a 27-10 overall advantage in the series, including an 8-7 victory in 2013.

The Steamers were poised to take that game, but a potential game-winning field goal by then-sophomore kicker Jack Lemke sailed wide right.

BOYS SOCCER | DIXON 2, ROCKFORD LUTHERAN 1

Nice set-up for Dukes Carlson’s kicks lift Dixon past Rockford Lutheran

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

DIXON – For just a few moments, Connor Carlson was face down on A.C. Bowers Field about 20 yards from the net, his curly blonde hair blowing in the wind.

Carlson was knocked to the ground by a Rockford Lutheran defender as both went up for a 50-50 ball. After he lifted himself off the ground, he paid Lutheran back with his right foot.

The Dixon junior was awarded a free kick and made it count, rifling a shot past Lutheran goalkeeper Colten Pfeil for the first goal of the match.

It was the first of two goals from Carlson, who came through in key moments to vault the Dukes over the Crusaders, 2-1, in a Big Northern West match.

SPORTS inside

Star of the game: Connor Carlson, Dixon, 2 goals Key performers: Nick LeSage, Dixon, 5 saves; Julian Willette, Lutheran, goal; Colten Pfeil, Lutheran, 9 saves Up next: Dixon at Winnebago, 4:30 p.m. Thursday “Just excitement,” Carlson said of his thoughts before taking free kicks. “You just want to come through.”

It was Carlson who took advantage of another Lutheran penalty when he scored the Dukes’ second goal from a penalty kick after the Crusaders were called for a hand ball in the goal box.

With 23:16 remaining in the match, Carlson buried his shot in the lower right-hand corner of the net for the eventual match-winning goal, breaking

a 1-1 tie.

Dixon’s work in the offseason was mainly spent working on crossing patterns set up by soft touches and control. That work was on display as the Dukes (3-3, 2-1 Big Northern) finished with 10 shots on goal – five in each half – but Pfeil was able to deflect each one, leaving the Dukes’ scoring to come from Carlson’s set pieces.

“We’re getting there,” Carlson said. “We’re working on it. I thought we played much better in the second half, and we were able to have better possesions and we set some good things up. It’ll come.”

Forward Anthony Deseno was a catalyst early on, pushing the tempo with his speed, but was Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com hindered in the first half with a Dixon’s Brendon McCrory (11) kicks the ball past Rockford wardrobe malfunction.

Lutheran defender Julian Willette during their Big Northern West SET-UP CONTINUED ON B4 match Tuesday at A.C. Bowers Field. The Dukes won 2-1.

NIU names sophomore as starting QB

BY STEVE NITZ 3HAW -EDIA

NIU QBs in 2014

DeKALB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drew Hare was the most impressive Northern Illinois quarterback during Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23-15 win at Northwestern.

That peformance helped him earn NIUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s starting quarterback job, at least for now.

At his weekly press conference Tuesday, NIU head coach Rod Carey named Hare his starter.

Carey said the plan is for Hare to play the whole game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to start Drew Hare, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go with him and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the guy,â&#x20AC;? Carey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Intentions are to let him in there and let him play and see what he can do with a full game and complete control.â&#x20AC;?

Hare played the entire second half against Northwestern after junior Matt NcIntosh and fellow sophomore Anthony Maddie split time in the first half.

The three quarterbacks have

YARDS 4$S ).4S RUSHES YARDS 4$ Matt McIntosh: FOR PASSING YARDS 4$ ).4S RUSHES YARDS 4$S Anthony Maddie: FOR PASSING YARDS 4$S ).4S RUSHES YARDS 4$S been battling for the starting spot from spring ball through the start of the season.

Hare went 6-for-10 for 109 yards and two touchdowns Saturday.

He did not throw an interception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think in the first series [of the second half], you are going to have a few butterflies going in,â&#x20AC;?

Hare said after the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, once you get going a little bit, you are just in the flow of the game. I was pretty relaxed just

Hare hit Daâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ron Brown with an 18-yard strike to give NIU the lead at the end of the third quarter, and threw a beautiful 59-yard pass to Brown in the fourth.

Carey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Made some timely throws when he had to, and his reads were good from the pass game to the run game and how we operated the offense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, it was a pretty good performance. I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t call it good or great, I would call it pretty good, and I think he would echo the same thing after seeing it on film. Fundamentally, there are a lot of things he needs to get cleaned up in his play just with his own fundamentals. I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go to work on that this week.â&#x20AC;?

BASKETBALL | FIBA WORLD CUP | QUARTERFINAL

Breakout heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been waiting for Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aggressive play leads Team USA into FIBA semifinals

BY K.C. JOHNSON #HICAGO 4RIBUNE

BARCELONA, Spain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Despite Derrick Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting woes, Team USA kept waiting for a breakout game from the Chicago Bulls point guard.

Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterfinal against Slovenia couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been it.

Rose attacked early and often as Team USA advanced to a Thursday semifinal against Lithuania by pulling away in the second half for a 119-76 victory.

Rose finished with 12 points and five assists in 18 minutes, repeatedly attacking the basket and playing much more aggressively offensively. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach [Mike Krzyzewski] gave me that green light,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just told me to go out there and play the way I normally play. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about getting guys into the game.â&#x20AC;?

Klay Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 points led Team USA, which led just 49-42 at halftime.

Rose scored shortly after checking in at the 5:13 mark of the first quarter, putting back his own miss after explosively driving to the basket. Later in the quarter, he scored on a lefthanded drive.

Team USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derrick Rose drives to the basket against Sloveniaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jaka Klobucar during their FIBA World Cup quarterfinal game Tuesday in Barcelona, Spain. Rose had 12 points and five assists in the United Statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 119-76 victory.

Rose added another lefthanded drive on a fast break, but missed badly on two 3-point attempts.

In the second half, Rose scored on two cuts to the basket for right-handed layups, and added a jumper and alley-oop to Thompson in transition for a dunk. Every player on Team USA scored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m trying to play team basketball,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it kind of eased me a little bit just to hear Coach say that. It gave me a lot of confidence still. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lack any confidence, but when the head coach tells you to

go out there and be more aggressive, it makes you think in another way.â&#x20AC;?

Krzyzewski called it Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just told me to play the way I normally play,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say trying to save it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I felt like it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t [any] need [to score] at that time. They were just saying if I play the way I normally play, it would make the game easier. And tonight, me getting steals and running the ball up the floor added a different dynamic to the game.â&#x20AC;?

Krzyzewski has praised

Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive intensity, but acknowledged Rose can be too unselfish at times in his backup role behind Kyrie Irving. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of time when he is in the game we have a lead, and I think heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to get everyone else involved,â&#x20AC;? Krzyzewski said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He looks for his stuff not just fifth sometimes, but sixth or seventh on the court.

We need him to look at it like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one or two on the court, and when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making a play, look to make plays for people, but try to make plays for yourself, too.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went with what worked,â&#x20AC;? Watson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and everyone else was doing their job. Everyone on the court was involved.

Overall, our team did a real nice job.â&#x20AC;?

Rock Falls fought back to get a 12-11 lead, tying the set after a diving save by Chelsi Blair on a Wright slam led to a Hawk hitting error. However, hitting errors and net violations gave the lead back to the Hawks for the remainder of the set. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We worked hard in practice last night, and we worked on hitting over the blocks,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we really connected tonight, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep doing that through the season.â&#x20AC;?

The Hawks got out to a 4-1 lead to the second set before Sommer Rhea went to the service line. Another Wright kill

was followed by two ace serves to prompt the Rockets to call a timeout.

After another Wright kill, Rhea reeled off another ace, this one touching the top of the net and floundering its way down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was trying to stay calm and focus on getting my serve in,â&#x20AC;? Rhea said.

The Rockets fought back to get within four at 13-9 after an ace from Blair, but the Hawks rebounded with back-to-back kills by Long to extend the lead back out.

Wright tallied 13 kills for the Hawks, with Long and Leamanczek adding three apiece. Mahoney had 20 assists, and Wright chipped in defensively with five digs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we did really well,â&#x20AC;? Wright said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Mahoney] passed us some really good balls.

We covered and found the open spots on the court.â&#x20AC;?

Bailey Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eight kills and seven digs led the

Rockets, who also got 11 assists and five digs from Blair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They passed extremely well,â&#x20AC;? Rock Falls coach Sheila Mammosser said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played well in the first game, but our blocking was non-existent, and our passing was terrible. In the second game, we picked it up and got touches on the ball, but then we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t convert. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to play a little better defense if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see teams that have big hitters.â&#x20AC;?

Oregon wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t entirely perfect, missing 10 serves. However, the Hawks tallied five aces against the Rocket defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This definitely means a lot for the girls to come out and beat Rock Falls,â&#x20AC;?

Watson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a lot of serving mistakes.

Morrison coach Cory Bielema said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was mentioned at the end of the game last week, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance to play for a trophy. That always makes things a little more exciting, when you can put your hands on something when the game is done and things go well.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone wants to keep the Wooden Shoe for ourselves,â&#x20AC;? junior lineman Adam Deter said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The past 10 years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fighting Fulton for it and keeping hold of it. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to hold up the tradition of Morrison and keep the string going.â&#x20AC;?

The Mustangs (0-2) enter the game in dire need of a victory, after having been beaten by Princeton and Orion by a combined score of 61-27 the first 2 weeks. Those were Big Rivers crossover games, while this week marks the start of Big Rivers North play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a brand new start,â&#x20AC;?

Bielema said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something to play for.

BY A SCORE Hopefully we can buy into that, really come out focused, and play with a lot of emotion on Friday.â&#x20AC;?

Steamers coach Patrick Lower was unconcerned with the Mustangsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; slow start. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter what the record is with these two teams,â&#x20AC;? Lower said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know them well, and they know us well.

It will come down to like most games do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whoever makes the fewest mistakes will have a good chance to win the game.â&#x20AC;?

Fulton (1-1) has just four seniors (Jason Osborn, Justin Shaffer, Steven Balk and Seth Sanderson) among its regulars, along with a strong core of juniors, and four sophomores (Tyler Sweenie, Michael Pidde, Kyle McLuckie and Cole McClary) who have been brought up.

The young squad showed its age in spotting Orion a 14-0 halftime lead on the way to a 33-26 loss in Week 1. Fulton rebounded with a 21-12 victory against Kewanee in Week 2. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that first half in Orion, the offense has really stepped it up and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve started clicking a little bit,â&#x20AC;? said North, a junior tight end/linebacker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The young guys have gotten experience, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to put it together.â&#x20AC;?

Aggressiveness pays off for Dukesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; offense SET-UP

CONTINUED FROM B1

The senior went shoe shopping in Rockford after practice Monday, knowing his shoes were on their last few miles, but came home empty handed. He ended up ordering a new pair online, and hoped to be able to play another match in his current worn-out cleats.

Turns out he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have 10 minutes. A Rockford Lutheran player stepped on his cleats early in the match; the result was torn laces and a rip in the side, leaving Deseno unable to make swift changes of directions.

Luckily, assistant coach Josh Brigl had an extra pair of size 10s in his bag. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach helped me out,â&#x20AC;?

Deseno said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Same size and everything. I just did some juggling on the sideline before the second half to test them out.

Everything was fine.â&#x20AC;?

Lutheran tied the score with 6:19 to play in the first half after a scramble in front of the net left Dukes goalkeeper Nick LeSage on the ground as he watched Crusaders forward Julian Willette tap home the equilizer.

Operating at full capaci-

ty in the second, the Crusaders (0-6) werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to defend the aggressive Dixon offense. Jacob Fane, an elusive 5-foot-8 outside midfielder, beat his defender down the field with the ball three different times and set up offensive chances to Carlson and Deseno, as

well as fellow outside midfielder Remington LeRette.

Lutheran coach Scott Lofgren barked defensive instructions to his players to key on Fane, which only made Fane more aware of the mismatch on the outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It feels good when you hear that coming from the other coach,â&#x20AC;? Fane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives you more confidence, and you want to keep attacking.â&#x20AC;?

He kept attacking, and Fane had Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two best chances of scoring a goal without the help of a set piece. He directed two head balls on net, but Pfeil was able to get a hand on each. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Jacob] Fane played really well, very intelligent game,â&#x20AC;? Dixon coach Mahmoud Etemadi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest of the offense, Remington LeRette, Brendon McCrory and Anthony Deseno, fought hard and matched Lutheranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physicality.â&#x20AC;?

MLB | CUBS FUTURE

Different directions after deal New outlooks for Cubs, A’s since Samardzija trade

BY PAUL SULLIVAN Chicago Tribune

It has been a crazy season for Jeff Samardzija, who managed to escape the sinking Cubs ship on July 5 to join the best team in baseball in Oakland.

A’s general manager Billy Beane was recertified as a genius after sacrificing two of his top prospects, shortstop Addison Russell and outfielder Billy McKinney, for two quality starters in Samardzija and Jason Hammel.

It was a gamble that propelled the A’s from postseason contenders to World Series favorites, and the addition of Jon Lester from the Red Sox 3 weeks later only sealed that opinion in everyone’s minds.

But things don’t always go according to plan, and 2 months after the blockbuster trade, the last-place Cubs are talking about the light at the end of the tunnel, while the rapidly fading A’s are trying to avoid an epic collapse.

The A’s began Monday’s action at U.S. Cellular Field seven games behind the divisionleading Angels, and were clinging to a slim lead in the AL wild-card hunt, with the Mariners and Tigers only two games

2014 By the numbers With Cubs: 108 IP, 2-7 record, 2.83 ERA With A’s: 82 2/3 IP, 4-5 record, 3.70 ERA behind. Their best-case scenario is likely to be a one-game wild-card playoff game against one of those teams, a far cry from Aug. 9, when the A’s were flying high at 28 games over .500.

Samardzija, who starts Wednesday against the White Sox, can’t be faulted for the meltdown. But heading into the fourgame series, the A’s were only 27-29 since the deal with the Cubs.

“These last few weeks have been tough on us,” Samardzija said, adding: “These things happen, and to be honest, it kind of happened at a good time. We still have [20] games left.”

As for the team he left, the Cubs went into Monday with a 26-33 record since the trade, and have begun promoting top prospects like Javier Baez and Jorge Soler.

Russell turned out to be as good as advertised, hitting .294 in 50 games at Double-A Tennessee with 12 home runs and 36 RBIs, while McKinney hit .301 in 51 games at Class A Daytona, with a

Since the Cubs sent their ace to Oakland for two prospects, the A’s have floundered in the playoff race. .390 OBP and 36 RBIs. “That was definitely an honor being traded for big leaguers like that,” McKinney said. “They’re great players, for sure, as shown by their stats this season.

“I called Addison right when the trade happened and talked with him a little about it. We were like, ‘Wow, let’s go get it.’”

Samardzija said he still follows the Cubs, and the youth movement that has been heralded since Theo Epstein took over as president in 2011.

He likes the talent, but pointed out that chemistry matters too.

“You’ve got to piece it

all together and become a team,” he said. “That’s the most important thing, especially in this game, where numbers and talent are important, but a lot of times it’s how that unit plays as a whole, and how you pitch.”

The Cubs were able to replace Samardzija as staff ace with Jake Arrieta, who is 8-5 with a 2.81 ERA, and they also brought up rookie Kyle Hendricks, who is 6-1 with a 2.02 ERA. They still need starting pitching to take the next step, but are expected to go strong after Lester, who will become a free agent his winter.

Flowers blooming at just the right time Late surge bolsters his case as Sox’s catcher of the future

BY COLLEEN KANE Chicago Tribune

Tyler Flowers was mobbed by teammates at home plate Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field after hitting his first career walk-off home run in a 5-4 White Sox victory over the Athletics in 12 innings.

It was Flowers’ second homer of the night, after he also hit the tying homer in the ninth inning.

Flowers had a long patch of offensive struggles earlier this season, but that has helped him appreciate being given a chance to make a lateseason turnaround. He said late last month that he still needs to prove in some aspects that he should be the Sox starting catcher of the future.

“It’s been a lot of fun recently, just feeling like I can go up and compete

AP

The White Sox’s Tyler Flowers steps into his walkoff home run off Athletics relief pitcher Jesse Chavez during the 12th inning of Monday’s game in Chicago. The White Sox won 5-4. and put quality at-bats together,” Flowers said.

“Even in the midst of striking out a fair bit still, I’m still going up there confident like I can contribute. It’s definitely

more fun than what it was for that month or so earlier in the year.”

Flowers had his first career multi-homer game on Sept. 2 against the Twins. He has five home

runs and seven RBIs over his last six games.

“You’re just happy for him,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “He has gone through some struggles offensively, and has looked good at other points. For everything he does behind the plate, it’s nice for him to get this side of it, too. Those are two big at-bats.”

Flowers’ homer in the ninth off Eric O’Flaherty came on a 2-2 pitch with two outs. His winning 12th-inning homer off Jesse Chavez was made possible by two shutdown innings from Sox reliever Javy Guerra.

“I definitely didn’t expect to hit a home run either time,” Flowers said. “Like I said, I was just trying to battle and go off information I had in front of me, and it happened to work out.”

Go BOLD

Get SOLD Bold type

Simplicity will be the key to your success this year. Don’t try to divide your time between too many projects or challenges.

Maintain your discipline, and focus on what you can do, not what stands in your way. Getting upset at inconveniences will be a waste of time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- This is not the day to try to outwit the opposition. You will get further if you spend some downtime doing things you find relaxing. Save your battles for another day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Don’t allow anyone to undermine your integrity. Stay in control and in command. Be firm regarding your intentions, and refuse to let anyone steal your ideas or take credit for your work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Put your ideas into practice.

Stop procrastinating, and finish what you start. If you keep jumping from project to project, you can’t expect to get ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Your day will bring you more benefits than you anticipate. Outstanding results

will occur if you make personal changes. Everything is pointing to success and satisfaction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Plan your next move carefully. If you rush ahead without considering the consequences, you will be disappointed with the results. A slow approach will be in your best interest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You are a prime candidate for a leadership position. Invest in yourself and let your dynamic personality propel you forward.

A proposal you make will gain you unexpected allies.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t act irrationally. Think twice before you decide to eliminate people or possessions from your life. You will not get the chance to recover something you foolishly abandon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Watch out for damaging gossip about you that is currently circulating. The best way to combat negative attention is to maintain a trustworthy reputation, work hard and play fair. It’s in your best interest to compromise.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Add comfort and value to your home with renovations or upgrades. A small mistake will escalate into big trouble if you don’t deal with it immediately.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- An upsetting turn of events will work out to your advantage.

More cash will come your way if you check out new opportunities and options. Call in an old debt or favor.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Don’t get hung up on what’s happening around you.

Keep your emotions out of the equation. If you can remain focused, you will knock a lot of items off of your to-do list.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Romance is looking good for you. This will be a great day to seek recognition for your work on a current project. New friends and moneymaking opportunities are heading your way.
