SAUDI ARABIA | WAR ON TERROR

Arab allies pledge to join, fight militants Turkey, concerned with diplomats, declines JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) – Key Arab allies promised Thursday to “do their share” to fight Islamic State militants, but NATO member Turkey refused to join in.

Turkish officials signaled the struggle the United States faces in trying to get front-line nations to put aside their regional animosities and work together to defeat a common enemy.

The Arab states’ endorsement of a broad strategy to stop the flow of fighters and funding to the insurgents, and possibly to join military action, came as the CIA doubled its assessment of how many fighters the extremist group can muster.

DIXON – The city is expected to meet again today with Bay Valley Foods to discuss the company’s water rate.

Meetings started about a month ago on the company’s request for a reduction in what it pays for water service, according to city officials.

Mayor Jim Burke, who said he had been present for the past two meetings, is keeping an open mind.

“I want to see what we can do,” Burke said. “They employ 135 people. They are in a very competitive market. I’m just being kind of general about it at this point.”

Commissioner Colleen Brechon said discussions at the meetings have been open, and each side understands the other.

Panel tables sidewalk requirement Village gets $287K Planning and Zoning has new look to fix sewer system

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

ROCK FALLS – In some areas of the city, sidewalks might be appear to be a luxury item.

The Planning and Zoning Commission on Thursday discussed the need to change the inconsistencies.

Building Inspector Mark Searing said the issue was recently brought to the surface by a resident who had the only stretch of sidewalk in his subdivision.

Believing the sidewalk that led nowhere served no useful purpose, he was given permission to take it out. “We can’t have sidewalk here, then no sidewalk there in new subdivisions,� Searing said.

Searing said they also

need to consider that eventually the sidewalks will have to be ADA compliant.

The motion to require the installation of ADAcompliant sidewalks at each side of the streets for all future subdivision developments had been recommended by the Public Works/Public Property Committee.

Commissioner Terry Wolf, developer of the Wolf Ridge Subdivision, said that putting the sidewalks in can sometimes be tricky. “You have to watch the easements and curbs; you don’t want to get utilities under the sidewalks,� Wolf said.

Searing used First Avenue as an example of why there needs to be a grass buffer between the curb and sidewalks.

“Those sidewalks are a big maintenance problem,� he said. “Everything gets kicked up to the sidewalks in the winter, and it’s hard to keep them clean.�

Commissioner Tony Sosi said he would like to see sidewalks in every neighborhood – for aesthetic and safety reasons. “It would keep kids on bikes off the streets,� he said. “Right now, that’s the only place many of them have to go.�

Commissioner Rick Turnroth said the city had hired Stanley, a wellknown municipal consulting firm, to come up with a subdivision plan many years ago. He said it was sent to the council back in the 1990s and never heard from again. “Stanley is a good company; I’d like to look at that plan,� City Administrator Robbin Blackert said.

The commission voted to table the sidewalk requirement so Blackert could look for the Stanley plan and possibly bring it to the next meeting.

In other action, structural changes to the commission were approved. A chairman and vice chairman will be chosen, with the knowledge that the chairman will serve for only 1 year before the vice chairman succeeds them.

Chuck Koehler won unanimous approval to lead the panel, and after the vote, switched seats with former chairman Turnroth. New member Rich Fassig was elected vice chairman. New 1st Ward Alderman George Logan Jr. was also attending his first meeting as a Planning and Zoning commissioner. The alderman Logan replaced, Mark Vandersnick, remains on the panel.

STERLING THEATER

‘Chavez’ to hit local screen this week

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

STERLING – After the Fiesta Days parade at noon Saturday, you might want to make your way over to the downtown theater sporting a tower of lights. The feature presentation will be “Cesar Chavez,� a 2014 film about the labor leader’s life and effort as a civil rights activist.

To date, the movie never made it to the silver screen in the Sauk Valley.

Tim O’Brien, whose managerial duties at Sterling Theater recently have expanded, said that it wasn’t because area cinemas didn’t want to show it – it was up to the studios. When it was first

released in March, only 664 theaters carried the title, he said. “Our small, independent theaters ‌ we can’t book any film just because it’s out,â€? he said, adding that he negotiated with movie studio Lions Gate for the licensing fee and to get a digital copy.

The movie, which stars Michael Pena, John Malkovich, Rosario Dawson and America Ferrera, is

a “good pair� with the celebration of Latino culture this week, and O’Brien wants to make it easy and convenient as possible to see the film. “Cesar Chavez� plays a crucial role for the team that has taken over after the departure of former Sterling Theater owner Skip Huston. Flying the colors of the improved philosophy is important, and something O’Brien

is promoting. “My first priority was to get [Cesar Chavez], because I want those kinds of movies here,� he said.

The theater still is working to push through a lot of the paperwork required to start fresh, O’Brien said, and a liquor license is “in the pipeline.� “This is kind of the proof that I do want to get these small, independent films in here alongside the firstruns and try to reach the widest audience that we can,� he said. “This would be the first step in our new direction. “Come on out and see what it’s all about. Once you’re in here for the first time, you’ll want to come back.�

The heavy equipmentmaker already operates a center in the university’s 2ESEARCH 0ARK WHERE IT uses computer-aided engineering to simulate and develop new products. It employs about 55 people in addition to the 60 stu-

dents working there.

Caterpillar’s chief technology officer, told The .EWS 'AZETTE )T ISN T clear yet how many peo-

The lab will focus on analyzing data on areas such as fleet and equipment management.

The new lab expects to rely on university faculty and students for some of its work, Henricks said.

and chicken strips.

ASHTON – When it rains in Ashton, it does more than pour – it also backs up parts of the city sewer system.

But a $287,000 lowinterest loan from the state, to be used to install new sewers, should help to alleviate that problem in this Lee County town of about 1,000.

The loan, announced in a news release Thursday sent by Gov. Pat Quinn’s office, is part of the Illinois Clean Water Initiative, an effort to modernize the state’s water infrastructure.

The village will use the money to implement phase 2 of its westside trunk sewer project, which includes installing new sanitary sewers and manholes. The project will allow the village to get rid of existing sewers in the northwest part of the village, an area hit by backups during wet weather, the release said.

The new sewers also will allow the village to eliminate a poorly aligned sewer and two pump sta-

The work is expected to be finished in February. “Help is on the way for Ashton to reduce the backups the village experiences during heavy rains,� Quinn said in the release. “That’s what our Clean Water Initiative is all about, helping make communities like Ashton even better places to live and work.�

The Environmental Protection Agency has estimated that water infrastructure needs in Illinois over the next 20 years will total $32 billion, including $17 billion in wastewater projects, which is the sixth-highest among the states, and $15 billion in drinking water projects, the fourth-highest in the nation.

To date, more than $767 million in wastewater and drinking water loans have been awarded under the state Clean Water Initiative. Go to CleanWater.Illinois.gov to learn more.

Officials play down absence of Turkey MILITANTS

CONTINUED FROM A1

Kerry’s visit in the Red Sea coastal city of Jiddah, on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, was aimed at pinning down how much support regional allies are willing to give to the United States’ plan to beat back the Islamic State group, which has seized large chunks of Iraq and Syria.

Nearly 40 nations have agreed to contribute to what Kerry said would be a worldwide fight to defeat the militants.

In remarks to reporters after the meeting, Kerry noted the “particularly poignant day� for the discussions. “The devastating consequences of extremist hate remain fresh in the minds of all Americans, and to so many of our friends and allies around the world,� Kerry said of the terror attacks on the United States 13 years ago. “Those consequences are felt every day here in the Middle East.�

Greater regional support is seen as critical to combatting the spread of the Islamic State group, which has proved so ruthless that even alQaida severed ties with it earlier this year. New intelligence assessments estimate the extremists can muster between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria, up from a previous figure of 10,000, the CIA said Thursday.

CIA spokesman Ryan Trapani said the new

total reflects stronger recruitment by the extremists since June, following battlefield successes and the group’s declaration of an Islamic state, or caliphate, on territory under its control.

Thursday’s meeting in Jiddah ended with Saudi Arabia, other Gulf states, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon pledging to stand against terrorism.

Turkey attended the meeting but did not sign the final communique.

The NATO ally had been asked to secure its borders to prevent oil smuggling out of Iraq and Syria and keep foreign fighters from heading in. But Ankara has been reluctant to take a prominent role in the coalition, in part out of concern for the 49 Turkish citizens who were kidnapped from the Turkish consulate in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul when it was overrun by Islamic State fighters in June.

U.S. officials played down Turkey’s absence from the communique, noting that the Turkish government is still extremely concerned about the fate of its diplomats. A senior State Department official predicted the United States will continue to work with Turkey to repel the insurgent threat, and said Ankara is in a difficult position as it tries to protect the hostages.

At least one family responded, and a student gave a speech about it during a memorial service. Students placed flags across the school’s football field for each of the 2,977 victims.

During a prayer service outside the Quincy City Council chambers, Police Chief Rob Copley said like before the attacks, the U.S. has a false sense of security. He added the anniversary is a reminder to be vigilant.

MISSOURI | NICHOLAS SHELEY CASE

Trial not likely anytime soon Prosecutor says he needs evidence tied up in appeals process ST. LOUIS – A prosecutor said the languishing proceedings for Nicholas Sheley’s trial in Missouri likely won’t come anytime soon.

Sheley, already serving life sentences in Illinois for six killings in 2008 will face trial in Missouri on charges that he killed an Arkansas couple that same summer.

Steven Jerrell, the chief assistant prosecutor in Jefferson County south of St. Louis, said Wednes-

day that because Nicholas Sheley is appealing many of his convictions and life terms, evidence Missouri authorities have supplied to prosecutors in those cases has yet to be returned. “As soon as we have all of our evidence and can proceed, we will extradite Mr. Sheley to Jefferson County� to face murder charges linked to the killings of Jill and Tom Estes, both 54, of Sherwood, Arkansas, Jerrell said.

Although the Missouri killings could make Sheley eligible for the death penalty – Illinois abolished capital punishment in recent years – Jerrell said he doesn’t know if he will pursue that punishment. “It’s a little too early for that yet,� he said.

Prosecutors say that over an alcohol- and drug-fueled few days in June 2008, Sheley carried out a series of killings stretching from his

Illinois hometown of Sterling to the St. Louisarea community of Festus hundreds of miles away.

Sheley was sentenced last month to life sentences in the hammer bludgeonings of four of his six Illinois victims – their ages ranging from 2 to 29 years old – whose bodies were found in an apartment in Rock Falls.

Festus Police Chief Tim Lewis said it appears the Esteses were attacked

Albrecht announced this week that he had accepted a job at the Rockford Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Starting Sept. 29, he will be the new director of marketing and public affairs.

Albrecht made the most of his work in Dixon, bringing new ideas and enthusiasm to the Main Street group’s many projects to promote the downtown district and the community in general.

Perhaps Albrecht’s greatest service came in 2012 during Dixon’s darkest days of the 21st century. He helped to organize the big Mumford & Sons concert a mere 4 months after ex-Comptroller Rita Crundwell was arrested

Proudly displayed on the wall of the Commissioner of the National Football League is an instant replay, of sorts – a freezeframe of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s personal hero, in his most famous performance.

It provides the ideal yardstick by which America can take the measure of how our society can sometimes be shamefully wrong in dispensing ultra-lite celebrity justice.

And it provides Goodell with the ultimate instrument for measuring his own morality-lite mishandling of a case in which Baltimore Ravens football star Ray Rice punched his then-fiancĂŠe (now wife) unconscious in a casino elevator and dragged her into the hallway where he dumped her with all the compassion one might reserve for, say, a sack of potatoes, and walked away.

It is an especially apt yardstick because, ultimately, this media-driven controversy is really about far more than sports. And that old freeze-frame on Roger Goodell’s wall has nothing to do with sports at all.

It is a framed page from the U.S. Congressional Record, dated September 25, 1969. It features a speech by a new Republican senator who was appointed by Republican Gov. Nelson Rockefeller to complete the term of Democratic Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968.

It was a now-famous speech by a then not very famous man, Sen. Charles Goodell, Roger’s father.

Charlie Goodell went to the Senate as a staunch supporter of the U.S. war in Vietnam.

BUT IN 1969, Goodell’s view of the Vietnam War sharply changed. The catalyst was an event at Cornell University, where a panel of students pounded him with sharp, detailed questions, challenging him to defend America’s long war.

Soon after, Goodell delivered the Senate speech now hanging on his son’s NFL office wall. It begins: “Mr. President, the war drags on.

It still bleeds the human, moral, and economic strength of our people.

Its slaughter reaches ever deeper into the ranks of our youth.

It still brutalizes our collective conscience, distorts our priorities, and frustrates our good intentions.

It knew no real beginning, and it seems to know no end. ...�

Seeking that end, Goodell introduced the Vietnam Disengagement Act, joining prominent Democrats

“I’m frightfully prejudiced about the role of a newspaper. ... I think it is the strongest force in society – stronger than judges, governors, doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs.�

to set a date terminating funding for U.S. combat in Vietnam.

Goodell’s bill never passed. Predictably, the Nixon White House eventually retaliated; Vice President Spiro Agnew called Goodell “the Christine Jorgensen of the Republican Party� – a smarmy reference to the 1950s recipient of a sex change operation.

ONE DAY, AS Charlie Goodell and I shared a Senate subway bench while riding from the Capitol to his Senate office, I asked whether he had any regrets about taking a leading role to end the war, a move that could cost him the 1970 Senate election (which it Roger did).

Goodell “No regrets The at all,� said performance Goodell measure for Goodell, the (who died embattled NFL at age 60 commissioner, 1987). was set by his i n father, a U.S. “Sometimes senator, many we need to years ago. act simply because it’s the right thing to do.�

Because it’s the right thing to do.

I’ve thought about those words from Charlie Goodell.

First, when son Roger let Ray Rice off with just two lashes with a wet noodle (just a two-game suspension). Also when New Jersey authorities let him off with no jail, just counseling. Also on Aug. 28, when son Roger proclaimed of his mini-punishment of Rice, “I didn’t get it right.�

And this week when a website aired the insidethe-elevator video the NFL always assumed existed but apparently never specifically demanded: We saw the horrible punch we’d all known about but hadn’t seen in all its ugliness.

And finally, I thought once again this week about Charlie Goodell’s admonition. It was after reading an excellent 2011 Sports Illustrated article that quoted a letter Roger had written his father. “If there is one thing I want to accomplish in my life besides becoming commissioner of the NFL, it is to make you proud of me,� Roger wrote to his dad, in 1981.

One way or another, we are all caught up this week in a clash of culture and conscience, in this sad controversy that transcends mere sports.

DAY TRIP

Antiques in action in Geneseo 53rd Working Farm Show runs for 3 days

T

BY ANDREA MILLS amills@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5575

he good old days on the farm are back again, as antique farm machinery heads for the fields to do a little work.

The Antique Engine & Tractor Association’s 53rd Working Farm Show is today through Sunday, just north of Geneseo.

Tractors, including garden tractors, memorabilia, and gas engines, are expected to be part of the experience. This is not, however, a line of antiques to view and move on.

The show focuses on the rare and unusual in equipment, many of which will be shown during demonstrations in the fields. Their operators will pick corn and soybeans, plow, thresh oats and wheat, operate a sawmill, and get their gas engines working.

The field demonstrations will begin at 9 a.m., noon, 1 and 4 p.m.

“We want people to imagine they’ve actually stepped back in time,” Skip Farnham, AETA member, said in a news release.

“The equipment will share the spotlight with horses, and possibly a mule or two, plowing the fields.”

The entire family is included in the show. Kids can learn how to “drive” a tractor and play in a large pile of corn.

Everyone can pick Indian corn or popcorn and dig potatoes.

The showpiece of the grounds is a barn built during

A blacksmith shop also will be open with work in progress, and artifacts will be displayed at the recently renovated mercantile building. Another renovated building, a craft barn, will feature demonstrations in quilting, wood turning and weaving. Crafts and baked goods will be sold.

Throughout the 3 days, food stands will be available from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and an entertainment tent will be open; performance times vary.

On Sunday, a church service is planned for 9 to 10 a.m., and an antique tractor pull by Riverbend Tractor Pullers will begin at noon.

For ease in visiting, a free shuttle service will transfer visitors every 40 minutes, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., from 465 U.S. Route 6 to and from the show grounds.

So, let those good old days return for a few hours during this day trip, just down the road from the Sauk Valley.

Parents think gay son will straighten out Dear Abby, I’m a gay male college student who is out and comfortable with who I am – 99 percent of the time. When I was in high school, I tried to come out to my parents and it didn’t go smoothly. They had an emotional crisis for a day, then shrugged it off as “just another teenage phase.� After the panic mode was over, they bought me off with an expensive car and continued believing I’m straight.

I make no attempt to hide who I am, because I expect to be treated the same, regardless. But it’s awkward whenever I am asked by either parent, “Do you have a girlfriend?� or, “How are you doing with the ladies?�

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

Do you have any advice on what I should say in response, given my parents’ emotional reaction? – It’s Who I Am in California Dear Who I Am, It is obvious that your parents are in denial. If you haven’t told them again about your sexual orientation, you should.

If you are unable to summon up the words to tell them what they are waiting for isn’t going to happen, then contact PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays – pflag.org), not only for your own sake, but also for theirs.

In light of your parents’ reaction the last time you leveled with them, they may need emotional support to accept that you are gay, and PFLAG can provide it.

Dear Abby, I have been married to my husband for a year.

We dated for 4 years before the wedding, and we have a son together.

The child and I have never met any of my husband’s immediate fam-

ily. I have never spoken to any of them over the phone, either.

He has met all of my family members. I have asked repeatedly to meet his, and he tells me he’s planning a family trip to visit. He seemed annoyed when I brought it up. What should I do? – Left Out in Florida Dear Left Out, That you have had no contact with these people in the 5 years you’ve been in the picture is, frankly, beyond strange.

It appears there may be some things your husband hasn’t told you. He may be ashamed of his family, on the outs with them, or they were never told about his involve-

Let foam rollers be your friend

BY MARY MACVEAN -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

LOS ANGELES – Maybe your shoulders are achy from time spent bent over a computer keyboard. Perhaps your running has tightened your quads and calves to the point of cramping.

Whatever the cause, foam rollers are an inexpensive and growing answer to tight muscles, soft tissue pain, knots and other problems connected to the fascial system, the web of soft, connective tissue in the body. Rollers stretch and massage the areas – and that helps athletic performance, says trainer Ashley Borden.

Borden and other

trainers and teachers are using them in classes of all kinds, and gyms are stocking them. “Rolling out opens you up; it’s your own deep tissue massage,� Borden says. “Which of us can afford a masseuse every morning before we work out?�

Borden met us at the bustling Fitness Factory L.A. in West Hollywood to show how rolling works. It’s a tool, she says, “to trouble shoot your own body,� and it can help with mobility, balance, alignment and relief from aches and pains.

But don’t mistake it for a relaxing spa massage.

Rolling out can range from comfortable to downright painful – not unlike the discomfort from a really strong stretch. But you should feel relief afterward.

Her own experience

made Borden a fan of rollers. “I was a dancer, and I thought I had great posture,� she said, adding that in training, she learned otherwise. So she began using rollers to adjust her alignment. “I saw how my body changed, and it felt better.�

The idea is to target various places from head to toe where there are tight muscles or knots by getting into specific positions and rolling over the target area, generally 10 times, to ease the problem.

Avoid rolling directly on bones or joints, Borden says.

She suggests trying the stretches before a workout or in the evening while watching TV. “I spend a lot of quality time with my roller,� she joked.

Anyone feeling uncertain can consult a doctor

or fitness professional, Borden said.

Rollers come in various levels of firmness.

The softest roller is for people who are fragile for any reason. Borden uses PVC pipe, which has no give at all. She suggests it for those who like a tough workout.

Some rollers have a soft outer grid. Most of them are compressed beads and keep their shape for a long time. There are even very short ones that fit in a carry-on suitcase.

Lots of brands are available online and in sports stores, from around $15 to $65.

Lacrosse and other balls also can be used in a similar way to get at specific sore spots.

Borden has a downloadable guide to rolling out, available for free on her website, www.ashleyborden.com.

Dear Abby, Please help to settle a debate between my husband and me. Is it all right for a woman to give relationship advice to her friend?

I have a friend who is struggling in her relationship, and I have tried to help with advice I feel is appropriate and positive. Is this wrong, or should I stay out of it like my husband suggests? – Good Friend in Texas

Dear Good Friend, Part of female friendship is sharing experiences and advice with each other. However, remember that if your friend is “struggling� in this relationship, in the final analysis, she’s going to have to resolve the problems herself. If she is unable to do that without coming back to you again and again, then her relationship probably won’t last in spite of your best efforts.

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.

But sales of Vivus’ Qsymia and Arena’s Belviq have been far below expectations due to limited insurance coverage and high out-of-pocket costs for patients.

DEKALB | NIU ENROLLMENT

Smallest decline in 5 years School sees more returning sophomores, international students

BY JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com

DeKALB – Northern Illinois University senior Joe Palmer thinks students seem more energized across campus since he started there 3 years ago.

It might be the renewed emphasis on town-gown relations or cosmetic improvements across campus, from banners emphasizing student career success to the recently revamped NIU smartphone app that includes an interactive campus map.

Or it might be the football team’s trip to the Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. “[A good football team is] something NIU never really had until these past couple of years,” said

Palmer, who also is director of public affairs for the Student Association.

After months of discussing ways to improve the level of student engagement, though, NIU leaders had a first major test of their success: Enrollment figures released this week show fall enrollment decreased by the smallest amount in 5 years, largely because of an increase in last year’s freshmen returning as sophomores and a jump in international student enrollment.

NIU’s undergraduate enrollment this semester is 15,435, down from 18,277 in 2009, with overall enrollment decreasing from 24,424 in 2009 to 20,611 this year, NIU data shows.

The number of international students – sought after in part because they pay full tuition rates – jumped almost 30 percent, from 847 last year to 1,090 this year.

The freshman retention rate increased from 66 percent in 2013 to 71 percent this year.

NIU’s 10-day enrollment data practically mirrors Western Illinois University’s. Western’s undergraduate enrollment dipped 2.3 percent, while leaders there boasted that international student enrollment jumped from 370 last year to 511 this year, a WIU news release states.

WIU’s freshman retention rate leapt from 63 percent last year to 72 percent this year.

“I’m pretty open to any possibilities,” she said. “I think it’s important that we have a company like Bay Valley in our community.”

The packaged foods plant is one of 25 the company operates throughout the country, according to its website.

The plant uses about 23 million gallons of water each month and pays about $800,000 a year for water service, Burke said.

City Council would have to approve any reduction in the company’s rate.

God Loves the Poor The Bible contains over 2000 references to poverty and social justice issues, with at least 200 references telling us directly to help the poor.Throughout the Old and New Testament we are commanded to help those in need, whether they are widows, orphans, immigrants, or the impoverished. Nowhere are we advised to question whether they are lazy or why they find themselves in dire straits.We are simply told to help them.The Bible even institutes particular social programs to help the poor. Farmers are instructed to leave the corners of their fields unharvested and not go over their fields a second time, but to leave the gleanings for the poor.

(Leviticus 19:9) Perhaps if we had such wise social programs today, updated to reflect the realities of modern economies, there would be less poverty, or at least there might be less misery amongst the impoverished. It is probably true that we shall always have the poor with us, and this makes it more important, not less, that we should minister to their needs. —Christopher Simon “The poor are shunned even by their neighbors, butthe rich have many friends.It is a sin to despise one’s neighbor, but blessed isthe one who is kind tothe needy.” Proverbs 14:20-21

Defender should increase options

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Publilius Syrus, in the first century B.C., was a Syrian slave brought to Italy, but by exhibiting wit and intelligence, he was released and educated by his master. Syrus said, “A gift in season is a double favor to the needy.”

The last four columns featured deals in which the declarers tried to maximize their chances of making their contracts. But sometimes a defender should take a page from those declarers’ books.

In this deal, East is defending against four hearts. West leads the club seven. East wins with his queen and cashes the club ace, West following with the two to show that he started with a doubleton. What should East do next?

After East opened one club, South had enough points to make a takeout double, planning to bid hearts on the next round to show his strong hand-type.

But he feared that the opponents would carry the auction uncomfortably high in spades before he could mention his suit.

The defense looks so easy: Lead a third club. West will win the trick by ruffing, return a diamond to East’s ace for down one, and perhaps another club will effect a trump promotion.

In this deal, though, that backfires badly. Declarer wins the third trick in the dummy, draws trumps and claims.

Before getting greedy, East should cash his diamond ace. Here, West signals with his seven to show the diamond king. East leads another diamond for down one. But if West discourages in diamonds, East returns to clubs, hoping that West has a heart higher than dummy’s seven. © 2014 UFS

AP/Steve Anderson, The Daily Journal

Jeff Gindy (center), principal at Noel LeVasseur Elementary School, operates the controls of a DJI Quad Copter, a remote-control drone that carries a GoPro camera, on Aug. 26 at the school in Bourbonnais. Also pictured and part of the drone program are Jeff’s son Cody and Ann O’Gorman, a teacher at the school.

Students to use drones in class New teaching tool expected to debut second semester

find their niche planning the video, others will be best at writing the script,� she said. “And, of course, everyone will want to fly the drone.� “And they will get a chance,� Gindy added. “But I will always be right there to take over if they start to lose control.�

The drone, with all of its attachments – including the camera and the device that steadies the camera shot – costs about $1,400. It will fly up to 1,000 feet and execute intricate turns and dives. But the battery lasts only about 20 minutes. It requires another 30 minutes to recharge. “I guess we’re kind of a trailblazer on this: I don’t think any other elementary school [in the state] is using a tool like this,�

Gindy said. “We’re looking forward to the students’ reaction to using it.�

Meanwhile, O’Gorman is confident the device will serve as one of those extra perks that keeps young people interested in school. She noted that fascination would be shared by the students using it this year, and the thirdgraders eager to be the next group to test it out. “It’s fascinating to watch,� she said. “It’s like a little alien up there.�

BY DENNIS YOHNKA The Daily Journal

BOURBONNAIS – Teachers always are looking for a new way to keep students engaged. At Noel LeVasseur Elementary School in Bourbonnais, all they have to do is look up.

The newest teaching tool here is a DJI Quad Copter, a remote-control drone that carries a GoPro video camera. It’s not expected to be unveiled in teacher Ann O’Gorman’s advanced classrooms until second semester, but Principal Jeff Gindy has already tested his skills. “It’s calibrated to seven global positioning satellites,� he explained. “Even when it’s windy, they can bring it back to where it took off.�

O’Gorman said it would be used in a learning partnership with Bourbonnais Township Park District. A group of 40 to 50 fourth graders will put together a marketing plan that uses a video production that would be shot at the district’s Willowhaven and Perry Farm locations. “Some students might

Yelling when necessary Rockets get Mammosser’s message in BNC win

DIXON – For some teams, the roar of the crowd picks them up during a tough stretch.

For others, a big play can do the trick.

For the Rock Falls Rockets volleyball team, it takes one thing to help change the momentum.

“Sometimes Sheila just has Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com to yell at us,” said senior hitDixon’s Jamie Altenburg (left) and Amy Rotella go up for the ter Dallas Clevenger, referring block against Rock Falls’ Sydney Arickx during Thursday’s to coach Shelia Mammosser, before letting out a laugh. “She match at Lancaster Gym. Rock Falls won 27-25, 25-18.

really does, though. She called timeout at the end of the first game, and yelled at us.

“Sometimes you get out there, and you don’t even realize that they’ve put together that many points. We need her to get us to snap back into it.”

The necessary yelling near the end of Game 1 Thursday helped the Rockets fend off a resurgent Dixon team at Lancaster Gym. The Rockets carried that into Game 2 for a 27-25, 25-18 win.

Star of the game: Bailey O’Brien, Rock Falls, 5 kills, 6 aces, 11 service points, 9 digs Key performers: Dallas Clevenger, Rock Falls, 9 kills; Amy Rotella, Dixon, 7 kills; Kacey Koch, Dixon, 10 assists, 8 service points Up next: Winnebago at Dixon, 6 p.m. Monday; Stillman Valley at Rock Falls, 6 p.m. Tuesday

Time for Junior to shine

ale Earnhardt Jr. turns 40 in a month, and much of his adult life is still a blur. It’s just one more reminder there isn’t much time for reflection inside a race car.

“I’ve always wondered what happens to a person as they age, physically and mentally, that changes their performance,” Earnhardt said. “Mark Martin, into his 50s, was still as quick as Day 1. Harry Gant, guys like that ... there’s something inside, a passion to do the details, the extra work. I’ve often wanted to talk to other drivers about what the experience is like.

“It would be cool,” he added, “to have that kind of conversation someday.”

But Thursday was not that time.

Instead, Earnhardt flitted from interview to interview as part of a whirlwind launch for NASCAR’s playoff series, which is loosely modeled on the NCAA’s basketball tourney – including a bracket – and begins Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

Most of the questions, not surprisingly, were some variation of whether this would be the year Earnhardt finally breaks through and claims the Sprint Cup championship that plenty of people once assumed was his birthright.

U.S. and Lithuania players go after a loose ball during their FIBA World Cup semifinal game Thursday in Barcelona, Spain. Team USA won 96-68 to advance to the championship game.

Business as usual for USA Americans pull away from Lithuania, advance to final

BY K.C. JOHNSON #HICAGO 4RIBUNE

U.S. 96, Lithuania 68

BARCELONA, Spain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Team USA will vie for its fourth straight international gold medal Sunday after its 96-68 demolition of Lithuania on Thursday night at Palau Sant Jordi.

The opponent in the FIBA World Cup final will be France or Serbia. And this makes Kenneth Faried sad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m disappointed, because I wanted to beat [Spain] in their own country,â&#x20AC;? Faried said.

That was merely a throat clearer for the Nuggetsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward, Team USAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Energizer bunny. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was too much hype around them,â&#x20AC;? Faried said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody was being arrogant, borderline disrespectful to us, saying we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to match up against their bigs, that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better than us. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just took it as, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, once we meet them in the final weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to see what happens.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Now we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even see what happens.â&#x20AC;?

Derrick Rose said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointed Spain lost to France as well. His reasons were more professional. He wanted to face new Bulls teammate Pau Gasol, with whom he said he still may have dinner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So many people were looking forward to that game,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just wishing him nothing but the best. I hope he can spend time with his family and get prepared for the season.â&#x20AC;?

Rose saved his defiance for a different topic. On a night when

VS &RANCE 3ERBIA AT -ADRID P M 3UNDAY Team USA turned an eight-point halftime lead into its eighth straight laugher behind Kyrie Irvingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 18 points, and 16 apiece from Klay Thompson and James Harden, Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s jumper went missing again.

Failing to build on a return to form against Slovenia, Rose missed his first seven shots and finished 1-for-8. He scored four points with three turnovers in 14 minutes, 57 seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hell no, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried,â&#x20AC;? Rose said when asked about his jumper. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to those [NBA] balls, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m used to just shooting them. Playing here, I just need to see one go down and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m shooting the shots. They can go under [screens] all they want. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to stop me from shooting them.â&#x20AC;?

Rose was referring to the different FIBA ball, which is smaller, and that players have said is slipperier than the NBA model. Whatever the case, Rose missed all four of his 3-point attempts, including a desperation heave to end the first half, and is 1-for-17 from that range in this tournament.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;He hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played in a long time, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have to continue to work,â&#x20AC;? Tom Thibodeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still working on his timing.

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to happen overnight. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to overreact when he has a great game.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to overreact if he has a subpar game. Just continue to build, get that edge. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big part of this. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been off that long, you have to get that edge. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be fine.â&#x20AC;?

Does Thibodeau see anything wrong with Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s form on his jumper? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You look at how you get them,â&#x20AC;?

Thibodeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are they coming off the dribble or pass? How is the balance? Is he shooting them well?

Right now, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not finishing off his drives as well as he is capable of.

When you get a couple of those to go down, your confidence grows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the way heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making his moves to get by the initial defender. He has to get used to getting hit again. Those are normally and-ones for him. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll keep working at it.â&#x20AC;?

Rose actually attacked often again, as he did against Slovenia, in the physical, chippy game that featured a DeMarcus Cousins technical and a Lithuania flagrant foul on Harden. But his four drives produced only one reverse lefty layup in transition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m good,â&#x20AC;? Rose said about his shooting form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not worried about that when I get a regular NBA ball in my hands. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just happy we got to the championship game. We worked our butts off to get this far.â&#x20AC;?

For Illinois fans, that meant going to bed with a punch-to-the-gut feeling.

Late Wednesday afternoon, when the Stevenson High School five-star recruit chose to play at Villanova instead of Illinois, Illini fans just shook their heads in familiar disappointment over a future college star inevitably looking elsewhere.

Any conversation among Illini fans started with Brunson and stretched backed to Eric Gordon.

At least Brunson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t renege on his commitment like Gordon (who went to Indiana in 2006), or like point guard Quentin Snider (who last year changed his mind and switched to Louisville). At least Brunson unzipped a

Dixon’s Haley Fitzsimmons (8) tries to hit around the block of Rock Falls’ Bailey Schrader during Thursday’s match at Lancaster Gym. Rock Falls won 27-25, 25-18.

O’Brien’s serve gives Dixon fits YELLING

CONTINUED FROM B1

“I thought we played really well tonight,” Mammosser said. “Our passing was much better. Our hitters did a great job. I am really pleased with our play.”

The Rockets and Duchesses traded short runs to the tune of a 7-6 Dixon lead to start Game 1, when Rock Falls junior Bailey O’Brien stepped to the service line.

Her first serve went untouched for an ace.

She did the same four more times in the next six points, as the Rockets (6-3, 2-1 BNC West) took a

13-7 lead.

“We haven’t seen a spin serve as good as that all season,” Dixon coach Bunyan Cocar said. “When it heads toward the sideline like that, it usually goes out, but hers were hitting in.

It took a few times to realize that we have to try and return those.”

The Rockets’ servers and hitters were trying to keep the ball away from Dixon sophomore libero Jessa Long.

“We’ve played against her in club, and knew that she’s really good,” Clevenger said. “We knew she’s an excellent passer, and that Amy Rotella is a really good hitter on the outside, so we didn’t want

them to get the ball.”

Long, Rotella, and Kacey Koch hit their groove after the Rock Falls’ run, as the Duchesses (4-5, 2-1) fought their way back to a tie it at 17. The teams traded points the rest of the first game, and Dixon led 24-23 when Mammosser called timeout.

After tying it at 25, Clevenger and Bailey Schrader had kills on consecutive plays to pick up the win.

“We let one get away in the first game,” Cocar said.

“We should have closed that out, and then in the second game, we changed our rotation a bit to get stronger on the right side.

“We have plenty of talent on the team, but we

haven’t figured out our rotation yet. That’s on us to figure out, and for the personnel on the rotations to get stronger.”

The Rockets controlled Game 2, jumping out to a 17-7 lead behind strong serving from Chelsi Blair, Jenny Lawson, O’Brien, and Sydney Arickx.

O’Brien finished with five kills, six aces, 11 service points and nine digs.

Clevenger led the Rockets with nine kills, while Blair had 15 assists.

Rotella led Dixon with seven kills, while Haley Fitzsimmons had five kills. Koch had 10 assists and eight service points, and Phoenix Smith had four kills.

White Sox starter Chris Sale delivers a pitch during the first inning against the Athletics on Thursday in Chicago. Sale allowed two hits in eight innings, and the Sox won 1-0.

Sale special in Chicago Sox ace throws two-hitter in win; Cards lose on road "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Chris Sale bested Scott Kazmir in a brilliant pitchersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; duel, lighthitting Marcus Semien homered for the only run, and the Chicago White Sox edged the rapidly fading Oakland Athletics 1-0 Thursday in Chicago.

The Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost for the 11th time in 14 games. They began the day leading the AL wild-card race, 1½ games over Detroit and two games ahead of Seattle.

Sale (12-3) gave up two hits in eight innings, allowing a pair of singles to Jed Lowrie. Between the hits, the left-hander retired 17 batters in order.

Sale lowered his ERA to an ALbest 1.99, boosting his bid to become the first White Sox pitcher to lead the league in the category since Joe Horlen in 1967. Sale struck out nine and walked two.

Jake Petricka pitched the ninth, yielding one hit, and got his 13th save in 16 tries.

Kazmir (14-8) went the distance, giving up four hits, striking out seven and walking one.

Semien hit a leadoff homer in the sixth into the left-field bleachers.

He started the day with a .216 batting average and three home runs.

Each pitcher had given up only one single to that point.

Oakland has scored more than three runs only 15 times in 39 games since slugger Yoenis Cespedes was traded to Boston on

The Athletics posed their only threat in the eighth. Lowrieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single and Alberto Callaspoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-out walk put a runner in scoring position, but Coco Crisp bounced out to end the inning.

Kazmir entered the game with a 3-5 record and 5.89 ERA in 11 career starts against the White Sox. Reds 1, Cardinals 0: Johnny Cueto pitched eight scoreless innings to beat Lance Lynn and send the St. Louis Cardinals to their third consecutive loss in Cincinnati.

Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 33rd save and third in the last three games.

Cueto (18-8) allowed just three hits and hit a batter to help the Reds win their second series in the last 13 against Central Divisionleading St. Louis. The Cardinals have lost three straight for the first time since a four-game losing streak Aug. 26-30, and finished

their eight-game road trip 4-4 after winning three out of four in Milwaukee.

Lynn (15-9) retired 15 straight before Brandon Phillips led off the eighth inning with the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first walk of the game. He went to third on Jay Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s single to center field, and scored on Ramon Santiagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sinking liner to short center that John Jay got a glove on but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold. Bruce had to hold up to see if the ball was caught, and was forced out at second.

The Reds have won three straight games for the first time since August 5-7 against Cleveland. They finished their homestand 4-3 after losing two out of three against the Mets.

Lynn went into the game 3-0 with a 4.00 ERA in three starts against the Reds this season. Cueto was 0-2 with a 3.75 ERA in two starts against St. Louis.

Cueto retired the last 14 batters he faced after Adams led off the fourth inning with a single and was eliminated in a double play. He finished with seven strikeouts.

Lynn allowed three hits and a walk with six strikeouts in eight innings.

Bruce kept the game scoreless with a leaping catch at the right-field fence to rob Adams of a home run leading off the seventh inning. Adams appeared to doff his batting helmet to salute Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play.

Earnhardt feeling pressure to win LITKE

CONTINUED FROM B1

Junior inherited plenty from the old man: fast reflexes, fearlessness, and the biggest tribe in NASCAR. But along with those came outsized expectations and, so far, too little of the staying power Dale Sr. showed while plowing his way to a record-tying seven series titles.

Junior had plenty of success early, but basically fell off the grid in 2005. His three wins this year, beginning with the season-opening Daytona 500, are only one fewer than he totaled the previous nine combined.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no denying NASCAR is a different place when Earnhardt is relevant.

CEO Brian France once compared him to the Los Angeles Lakers, because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the few guys on the circuit who can move the TV ratings needle by himself.

There are more than a few theories circulating about what sparked this latest resurgence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maturity has become a recurring theme â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but Earnhardt argues it was simply his win in the opener at Daytona.

That amounted to automatic qualification for the playoffs, easing what had been the season-

AP

Dale Earnhardt Jr. greets fans during driver introductions for a NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Richmond International Raceway in Richmond, Va., Sept. 6. long pressure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a heavy weight for me personally,â&#x20AC;? is how he put it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to be in contention at the end. Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s begun ratcheting up again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been reading all year long, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This is your year,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said, glancing down at his phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can definitely sense the urgency.â&#x20AC;?

Earnhardt also knows good counsel is easier to come by these days than it was when he first joined Hendrick Motorsports.

Teammates Jimmie Johnson, a six-time champion, and Jeff Gordon, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won four, had

already carved out sizeable pieces of turf.

Earnhardt is close in age to his friendly rivals, if not quite in accomplishments, and after his rocky start in the Hendrick garage, he usually names those two as models for any young driver to emulate.

Johnson, 38, acknowledged that he, too, finds himself in quiet moments wondering how long a driver can stay at the top of his game. Asked what quality he worries most about losing, he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bravery,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then probably commitment. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re

lucky in the sense that our bodies donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pile up the same kind of wear and tear that athletes do in other sports. ... But somewhere in the back of your mind, you know the window wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay open forever.â&#x20AC;?

Gordon, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also won three times this season and is enjoying a latecareer resurgence of his own, thought seriously about retiring 8 years ago because of a bad back.

Now 43, he regrets even broaching the topic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If somebody had asked me to pick the ... age where your body and your experience as a driver peak, I probably would have said 35,â&#x20AC;?

Gordon recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with a machine in our sport, being adaptable, being willing to learn plays at least as big a role as any in how long you can be competitive.â&#x20AC;?

The last thing Earnhardt wants to do is get caught looking too far ahead or behind. Where he is at the moment feels like the sweet spot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running great.

I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m as competitive as ever,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not too concerned about it right now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But there will come a day,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to make some pretty serious decisions about what you want to do.â&#x20AC;?

Titans receiver Kendall Wright reaches for the pylon past the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Sean Smith during last Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game at Arrowhead Stadium.

The Chiefs lost, and the team appears to be reeling heading into Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s showdown with the Broncos.

Sudden spiral in K.C.

Chiefs start season on low note following playoff run

BY DAVE SKRETTA !0 3PORTS 7RITER

FYI

KANSAS CITY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; When general manager John Dorsey and coach Andy Reid walked through the glass doors at One Arrowhead Drive for the first time last year, and took over a franchise in disarray, nobody could have expected their turnaround to be so swift and so dramatic.

After winning two games in a season marked by tragedy, the Kansas City Chiefs rolled off nine straight wins.

They finished 11-5 and made the playoffs for the second time in 7 years. A city that had grown accustomed to failure was feeling good about itself, putting away brown paper bags that had become standard headdress on Sunday to wear jerseys and caps with pride.

Just 1 week into Year 2, that turnaround is starting to look like a mirage.

The Chiefs were dominated in their season-opener last Sunday by a Titans team trying to rebound from its own miserable year.

Alex Smith threw three interceptions, Jamaal Charles hardly touched the ball, two defensive starters were lost to season-ending injuries, and a perilous lack of depth across the roster was exposed in a humiliating 26-10 defeat.

s "RONCOS HAVE WON LAST FOUR MEETINGS WITH #HIEFS +ANSAS #ITY S LAST WIN CAME IN

WHEN Kyle Orton outdueled Tim Tebow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly,â&#x20AC;? Smith said, with a shake of his head, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of adversity early.â&#x20AC;?

There are several reasons for what appears to be an abrupt downward spiral, many extending far beyond one player or one game. They lend credence to the possibility that last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical run merely masked the fact that there is still far more rebuilding to do. s 4HE TEAM $ORSEY AND 2EID inherited was top-heavy with talent yet virtually devoid of role players. The grist that makes up a 53-man roster was sorely lacking.

Eric Berry may be a Pro Bowl strong safety, but his running mates at free safety have been journeymen. Defensive tackle Dontari Poe is a budding star, but the rest of the defensive line has been a disheveled mess.

Meanwhile, many of the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; best players just happened to play increasingly irrelevant positions. Charles is arguably the best running back in the game, but pass-happy offenses have rendered his

skillset far less valuable than it was 20 years ago. s 4WO STRAIGHT DRAFTS HAVE failed to produce impact players. The Chiefs had the No. 1 overall pick last year and chose offensive tackle Eric Fisher, who has struggled through injuries and with the transition to the NFL. Their first-round pick this year, outside linebacker Dee Ford, played three snaps in the Chiefsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season opener. s 4WO KEY PLAYERS MADE THEMselves unavailable after getting into trouble with the league and the law. Wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was suspended for the season opener following an arrest last November, and right tackle Donald Stephenson will miss the first four games of the season for violating the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on performanceenhancing substances. s 4HE #HIEFS SALARY CAP SITUation. Dorsey and Reid were forced to cut Pro Bowl cornerback Brandon Flowers and allow Pro Bowl left tackle Branden Albert to depart in free agency, along with several other key players from a year ago. Meanwhile, they had little financial flexibility to plug the holes.

The few players they have given big money to have been ineffective. Bowe struggled last

season, the first of a $56 million, 5-year deal. Smith signed a $68 million extension, and then threw those three picks against Tennessee. And after Charles signed an $18.1 million extension before training camp, he was given just 11 touches in the season opener.

Throw in season-ending injuries to Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Johnson and starting defensive tackle Mike DeVito, things suddenly look ominous in Kansas City. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was shocked,â&#x20AC;? Chiefs linebacker James-Michael Johnson said, when asked to assess their season-opening performance against Tennessee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought we were going to do a lot better.â&#x20AC;?

Reid vowed this week that â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to get ourselves right,â&#x20AC;? but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a promise that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy to follow through on given what the Chiefs will see in the coming weeks.

After beating up on backup quarterbacks and cellar-dwelling teams last season, they now face the prospect of playing AFC West favorite Denver this weekend. They stay on the road against Miami before returning home for a Monday night game against New England. After that?

Back on the road against playoff contenders San Francisco and San Diego.

RAVENS 26, STEELERS 6

Life after Rice begins well for Ravens Baltimore overcomes controversy to beat AFC North rival Steelers

BY DAVID GINSBURG !0 3PORTS 7RITER

BALTIMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A short and tumultuous work week for the Baltimore Ravens ended with a surprisingly lopsided victory.

Playing 3 days after running back Ray Rice was released, the Ravens got a pair of touchdown passes from Joe Flacco and rolled past the rival Steelers 26-6 on Thursday night.

Rice was reaching the end of a two-game suspension for domestic violence when a video of him striking his thenfiancĂŠe surfaced Monday.

By the end of the day, the three-time Pro Bowler had been cut by Baltimore and suspended indefinitely by the NFL. The media immediately

descended upon the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s training complex, and the line of questioning had little to do with this heated AFC North rivalry.

The Ravens (1-1) shrugged off the distraction to bounce back from a season-opening loss at home to division rival Cincinnati.

Bernard Pierce took over for Rice to gain 96 yards on 22 carries as part of a ground game that finished with 157 yards.

Flacco went 21-for-29 for 166 yards and two TD throws to tight end Owen Daniels, and Justin Tucker kicked four field goals.

Pittsburgh (1-1) managed only two field goals, and committed three turnovers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one that halted its opening drive, another

that set up a fourth-quarter field goal by Tucker, and an interception by Ben Roethlisberger with 1:51 remaining.

It was only the second time in the last 11 regularseason meetings between the teams that the outcome was decided by more than three points.

Roethlisberger completed 22 of 37 passes for 217 yards. It was the first time since Nov. 26, 2006, that Baltimore held Pittsburgh without a touchdown.

After Tucker kicked a 23-yard field goal for a 20-6 lead, Steelers tight end Heath Miller fumbled on a hit by rookie C.J. Mosley, who took AP the loose ball to the PittsRavens running back Justin Forsett (29) runs away burgh 20.

That led to a 22-yarder from the Steelers defense during Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in

by Tucker with 11:14 left. Baltimore. The Ravens won 26-6.

ferently than those of love and warmth.” -- Tom Clancy

Astrograph Ask for Advice Friday, September 12, 2014 Satisfy your needs. You will be faced with unfamiliar or unaccustomed events this year, which will require you to improvise as you move forward.

Don’t sell yourself short by thinking someone else is better than you. Believe in your abilities, and you will prosper.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t hesitate to ask for advice if you are having trouble making up your mind. Look to people you admire and find out what options will bring the desired results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Get together with people who appreciate your talents. Having supportive people in your corner will give you the confidence you require to sell your abilities and ideas.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be persistent. If a current concept or method is faltering, take a different approach. Let go of whatever or whoever is holding you back, and move forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A physical or mental challenge will allow you to show off your assets.

Friendly competition will help you gain favorable attention from someone you want to impress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ll face trials and tribulations. An attempt at a quick fix isn’t going to work.

Take your time and face each issue in a methodical, practical manner for best results.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Health and lifestyle improvements will pay off.

Keep a sensible balance between work and family life in order to achieve a happier and healthier environment. Make love a priority.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t fall into the trap of impulse buying or untested investments. Unexpected bills will take a toll on your bank account if you aren’t realistic regarding your budget. Visit your financial adviser.

-- Your stubborn nature will lead to trouble. Try to be agreeable, and work out a compromise with whoever opposes you. Don’t say something you will live to regret.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Financial benefits are on the horizon. Put your plans into play in order to advance. A creative concept will gain the approval of someone with clout. It’s a good time to get your ideas out there.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Someone from your past will send you on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Keep your feelings a secret for now. Delays and disappointment will surface if you are too open.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Do something special with someone you love. Consider a day trip that will bring you closer together.

The experience will lead to plans that will make your life better.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- There may be minor skirmishes at work. You will come out the winner if you can stay calm and in control. Patience will work in your favor.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
