ROCK FALLS | VIDEO GAMING

Beauty salons want in on action Panel discusses where line should be drawn

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

ROCK FALLS – Everybody wants a piece of the video gaming action, and because approval starts with the local liquor licenses, restricting it is falling in the lap of municipalities.

State statute requires that gam-

ing license applicants first have a liquor license. The Illinois Gaming Board must then approve the site for a gaming license.

Each liquor license allows a maximum of five gaming terminals, but there is no guarantee all five will be awarded.

The city’s Ordinance and License Committee on Thursday

discussed some gaming-related situations that would require local restrictions.

Mayor Bill Wescott said he has been approached by three beauty salons that want liquor licenses in order to pursue gaming approval.

‘‘

SHE SAID, HE SAID How do I instruct my police officers to do it?

Who’s going to police all of that?

’’

City Administrator Robbin Blackert

Mayor Bill Wescott

The officials were discussing how, exactly, the city would enforce the litany of ordinances drawn up for beauty parlors and barber shops.

DERBY DIVAS READY TO ROLL SATURDAY IN DIXON

City’s signage proposal accepted Amendment still needed for mall sign

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

STERLING – Northland Mall’s sign code petition on behalf of new tenant Dunham’s Sports was back on the Plan Commission’s agenda Thursday, but this time it required no action.

Two Dunham’s representatives quickly told the panel that they accepted the city’s proposal to put the company’s sign over the main entrance of the mall. The petition had requested that the sign be allowed on an exterior wall of the mall, the company’s preferred choice in its lease agreement with the mall.

That would have required an amendment to the city code, which states that the only mall tenants allowed to display signage on the building’s exterior walls are stores that have a separate entrance and exit leading outdoors.

One hurt in multi-vehicle accident STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5501

OREGON – A Polo man was treated for minor injuries following a four-vehicle accident about noon Thursday in the 1300 block of state Route 64.

Ogle County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the wreck about 12:06 p.m., and an investigation found that semitrailer driver Marco A. Molina, 33, of Mendota failed to yield the right of way while turning left into the westbound lane of Route 64 from Limekiln Road. Colten Meyer, 20, of Polo, also driving a combination vehicle – as described in a news release from the sheriff’s department – tried to avoid Molina’s vehicle. But, in doing so, he struck another combination vehicle and a car.

That truck’s driver, Stephen Schrader, 45, of Shannon, the driver of the car, Carol Bennett, 76, and her passenger, Robert Bennett, 74, both of Mount Morris, all refused treatment at the scene. Meyer was taken to KSB Hospital in Dixon by Oregon EMS and treated.

Molina, who also refused treatment, was cited for failure to yield at an intersection.

JIMMY JOHN’S

Local shops not part of credit card breach does not have a computer point-of-sale system, he said.

Also, it appears the Rock Falls store at 511 First Ave. is so new that its system is somewhat different as well, Arellano said.

The sandwich chain said Wednesday that it believes customers’ credit card data was stolen from 216 of its shops between June and September. The Champaignbased chain did not say how many customers were affected.

Arellano found out early

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

ROCK FALLS – Jimmy John’s locations in the Sauk Valley are not part of the latest data breach to affect credit card customers nationwide, local store owner Liandro Arellano confirmed Thursday. “We knew right off the bat that we weren’t going to be affected,� Arellano said, noting that the point-of-sale system at the Dixon store is different than the one recently exposed to hackers. It

on that neither of the Sauk Valley stores were hit, in part, because of the quick response by credit card merchants.

The Jimmy John’s corporate headquarters also followed up with franchise owners, he said.

The company is keeping franchise owners abreast of the investigation of the cyber-attack, Arellano said, and technicians already have updated store software. “They’re still consulting with [security professionals], so there may be

more updates to come,� he said.

Of the 216 stores compromised, 23 are in Illinois. The closest store affected by the breach is in DeKalb, according to a list posted to the Jimmy John’s website.

Arellano is happy to see the Rock Falls store “healthy,� he said. The newest Jimmy John’s location recently passed its 3-month mark of being open. “It’s right on par with the Dixon store, which is 6 or 7 years old now,� he said.

Having a blast from past at gas pump? Unemployment rates Majority of states could average less than $3 a gallon by end of the year

STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5501

NEW YORK (AP) – The price of a gallon of gasoline might soon start with a “2’’ across much of the country.

Gasoline prices typically decline in fall, and this year they are being pulled even lower by falling global oil prices. By the end of the year, as many as 30 states could have an average gasoline price of less than $3 a gallon.

The average in Springfield, Missouri, is already below $3, according to Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Price Information Service and GasBuddy.com. Several other cities are on the brink. “And there will be more, many more,� Kloza said.

Cities in high-priced states such as California and New York will not be among them, though, which will probably keep the national average above $3.

At the current national average of $3.35 a gallon, gas is a dime cheaper than a year ago at this time. The gap is 20 cents or more in seven states, including California, Kansas, South Dakota and Connecticut, according to AAA. Lower fuel prices help the economy in a few ways. They make goods cheaper to ship and make travel more affordable.

Drivers are left with a few extra dollars in their pockets. And consumers grow confident enough to make other purchases, perhaps even a big-ticket item. Consumer spending is 70 percent of the U.S. economy.

AP

Foster Gilley of Chatom, Alabama, fills his SUV’s tank with $2.92-per-gallon regular gas Wednesday at Mac’s Gas in Richland, Mississippi. The typical autumn decline in gasoline prices is getting a big push lower by falling global oil prices.

By the end of the year, as many as 30 states could have an average gasoline price of less than $3 a gallon. Gilley and his wife were visiting his brother in Vicksburg and were “enjoying the lower prices,� he said.

Aidan Obrecht, a 20-year-old community college student from Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, said gas in his area has fallen 10 to 20 cents over the past couple of weeks.

He paid $3.27 a gallon Thursday to fill up his Ford Taurus on his way to work at a CVS pharmacy. “I’m living paycheck to paycheck, so it’s nice to be able to save� he said. “Even if it’s $5 or $10 extra [after a fill-up], it adds up over the long run.�

Fall is when refiners are allowed to switch to a cheaper blend of gasoline for the cooler months, and driving demand declines after summer vacations have ended.

Thank you to the following for their generous donations to the Lee County Honor Flight!

Refinery problems or hurricanes can halt the typical fall price decline temporarily by reducing gasoline production. For example, a reported outage at a refinery in Eastern Canada that supplies the Northeast with gasoline is likely to push the price at the pump slightly higher in some markets over the next few days.

But by late October, prices are usually well on their way lower.

Last year, the national average fell 28 cents per gallon between Sept. 1 and Dec. 31. This year, gasoline had a head start.

It entered September at its lowest level for the beginning of the month in 4 years – and the price

HAPPY

of crude oil was rapidly heading lower.

The drop in global crude oil prices is a surprise.

Despite increasing violence and turmoil in the Middle East, the world’s most important oil-producing region, the global price of oil has fallen to $97 a barrel, close to its lowest level in more than 2 years.

That’s partly because new technology has allowed U.S. drillers to consistently increase production from fields in North Dakota and Texas, adding to global supplies. At the same time, world demand is not growing as much as anticipated because of slower economic growth in China and Europe.

Chief apologizes to Brown family Parents decline to comment when told about video released Thursday ST. LOUIS (AP) – The Missouri police chief whose officer fatally shot an unarmed 18-year-old last month released a video Thursday apologizing to the family and the community, acknowledging that Michael Brown’s body remained in the street for too long after he was killed.

The video featuring Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson was released by a public relations agency

on the same day Brown’s parents were in Washington pressing for a full federal investigation. A state grand jury is considering whether criminal charges are warranted, but a decision isn’t expected for several weeks.

Brown was unarmed when he was fatally shot Aug. 9 during a confrontation with Officer Darren Wilson, and his body remained in the street for more than 4 hours. At

the time, police said they needed the time to gather evidence from the street, Tom Canfield Jackson Drive, which is lined with apartment buildings. “But it was just too long, and I’m truly sorry for that,� Jackson, dressed casually in a red polo shirt instead of his police uniform, said on the video. “Please know that the investigating officers meant no disrespect to

the Brown family, to the African-American community or the people of Canfield [Drive]. They were simply trying to do their jobs.�

To the Brown family, Jackson said: “I’m truly sorry for the loss of your son.�

Brown’s parents declined comment when told about Jackson’s video during a news conference with civil rights leaders at the National Press Club. Their attorney later said they hadn’t heard about the video but would review it.

BEIRUT Charles L. Deets ROCK FALLS – Charles L. Deets, 82, of Rock Falls, died Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014, at his home.

Charlie was born Aug. 2, 1932, in Emerson, the son of John L. and Bessie B. (Stanley) Deets. He served in the Air Force. Charles married Judith Gann on March 11, 1977, in Sycamore. He was employed at Northwestern Steel and Wire Co. as a mobile equipment operator for 30 years before his retirement in 1997. He was a charter member of Harvest Time Bible Church in Rock Falls. After his retirement, he worked for McDonald Funeral Home.

Survivors include his wife of Rock Falls; three sons, Kimmel Deets of Rock Falls, Curtis (Mary) Deets of Sterling, and Eric (Ashley) Deets of Sarasota, Florida; three stepchil-

dren, Byron, Myrna, and Allen; two daughters, Connie Deets of Dixon and Sherri Bock of Jacksonville, Florida; three sisters, Nellie (Myrl) Stewart of Franklin Grove, Bessie Perkins of Michigan, and Marian Mangan of Sterling; 21 grandchildren; and 27 great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, three sisters, two grandsons, and one stepson.

Graveside service will be at 11 a.m. Monday at Oak Knoll Memorial Park in Sterling, with Dalmus Meeks, pastor of Harvest Time Bible Church, officiating.

In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been established to Harvest Time Bible Church in Rock Falls.

Homecoming lunch is Oct. 2 at school

DIXON – Local relatives of a North Carolina man recovering from a 2012 fall will have a fundraiser for him from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Saturday at First Street and Hennepin Avenue.

Joe Pacileo is the brother of Mary Padgett and Anne Sheaffer, both of Dixon.

Joe contracted polio as a child in 1953, and was left having to use crutches and a brace on his right leg. He fell May 3, 2012, when his brace broke, and suffered a broken right kneecap and damaged left kneecap.

Syria’s Islamic rebels fearing U.S. strike BEIRUT (AP) – When the United States opened its aerial campaign against the Islamic State group in Syria this week, its first salvo also hit an al-Qaida cell it says was planning terror attacks – a move that has injected more chaos into the conflict and could help President Bashar Assad.

Amid fears they could be targeted next, two rebel factions already have evacuated their bases, and residents in areas under the control of other Islamic brigades cower at home, wondering whether their districts will be hit.

While al-Qaida’s branch in Syria, known as the Nusra Front, is considered a terrorist group by the United States, among the Syrian opposition it has a

To them, the U.S. strikes, which hit several

Nusra Front facilities and killed dozens of its fighters, appeared to signal an American move to take out any rebel faction that adheres to an Islamic ideology – a large

segment of the rebellion against Assad.

U.S. officials say the strikes were aimed at a cell of hardened jihadis within the Nusra Front called the Khorasan Group, which Washington says poses a direct and imminent threat to U.S. and Western interests.

On Thursday, FBI director James Comey acknowledged that the United States did not have precise intelligence on where or when the group might attack, adding that there was no indication the airstrikes had disrupted the cell’s plots. “It’s hard to say whether that’s tomorrow, three weeks from now or three months from now. But it’s the kind of threat you have to operate under the assumption that it is tomorrow,� Comey told reporters in Washington.

Wescott: It would be enforcement nightmare SALONS

CONTINUED FROM A1

“The advent of video gaming is dramatically changing how cities are handling liquor licensing,�

Wescott said. “We don’t have any licenses specific to these types of establishments.�

One new type of liquor license has been created for next year. That will be a special class for beer and wine only. “At what point do we want to stop creating new types of licenses?�

Wescott asked the panel.

Only a handful of Illinois beauty parlors and barbershops have been recommended for approval. The municipalities drew up ordinances especially for those operations, They include language on separate entrances, square footage restrictions, and a requirement that gamblers can only play during hours in which primary services are offered. “Who’s going to police all of that?� City Administrator Robbin Blackert said.

Wescott agreed that it would be an enforcement nightmare. “How do I instruct my police officers to do it?� he said. “It seems outside the scope of what video gaming is supposed to be about.�

Alderman Jim Schuneman asked if the state has given any indication that they will limit the number of gaming licenses awarded. He was told there had been none.

Blackert said she believes the city did enough with alternative gaming sites by bring-

ing in Suzi’s Video Poker and Slots. “We gave them a place for people who wanted to gamble, but didn’t want to go to a bar,� she said.

The panel took no action, but Wescott said it is not the city’s intent to draw up something for the beauty salons. “As liquor commissioner, I’ll continue to get requests to monitor,� Wescott said. “I just can’t see us continuing to create new licenses and then trying to figure out how to ensure compliance.�

Signage placement must be approved by mall SIGNAGE

CONTINUED FROM A1

Because Dunham’s has no front door, the petition requested that stores with square footage in excess of 45,000 square feet be allowed to put up the facade signs.

The Dunham’s representatives were eager to move ahead with the signage in order to have it

ready before the store’s Oct. 31 opening.

Everything is fine on the city’s end, but the signage placement must now be approved by the mall. “So, if there is a stopper in this, it’s the mall, not us?� panel member Steve Munson said. “There’s no need to change the code, so we don’t have to do anything at all,� City Attor-

ney Ron Coplan said.

City Planner Dustin Wolff said the path has been cleared by the city, but another request from the mall must be approved by the council before the sign can go up. The mall asked for an amendment to allow the shopping center’s sign on the building facade instead of where the Dunham’s sign is supposed to go.

“Technically, Dunham’s can’t do their sign without this rewrite,�

Wolff said. “The modification will allow for an identification sign on the building, in addition to their freestanding sign.�

The commission recommended that the mall’s signage amendment be sent to the council for approval. The size of that sign would be limited to 40 square feet.

WASHINGTON

First black attorney general announces exit Obama calls Holder, champion of civil rights, ‘the people’s lawyer’ WASHINGTON (AP) – Eric Holder, America’s first black attorney general and an unflinching champion of civil rights in enforcing the nation’s laws, announced his resignation Thursday after leading the Justice Department since the first days of President Barack Obama’s term.

He is the fourth-longestserving attorney general in U.S. history.

Holder, the administration’s point man on the civil rights investigation into the police shooting of an unarmed 18-yearold in Ferguson, Missouri, won’t leave until a replacement is confirmed, which means he could remain in office for months.

Senate Republicans signaled they were preparing for a confirmation fight after years of battles with Holder. Said

Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell: “I will be scrutinizing the president’s replacement nominee to ensure the Justice Department finally returns to prioritizing law enforcement over partisan concerns.”

In an emotional ceremony at the White House, Obama called Holder “the people’s lawyer” and credited him with driving down both the nation’s crime and incarceration rate – the first time they have declined together in more than 40 years.

“Through it all, he’s shown a deep and abiding fidelity to one of our most cherished ideals as a people, and that is equal justice under the law,” Obama said.

Holder responded by speaking of how he was inspired as a boy by Robert Kennedy’s leadership on civil rights at

He oversaw the decision to prosecute terror suspects in U.S. civilian courts instead of at Guantanamo Bay and helped establish a legal rationale for lethal drone strikes on suspects overseas.

He was a lightning rod for conservative critics and faced a succession of controversies over, among other things, an ultimately abandoned plan to try terrorism suspects in New York City, a botched gun-running probe along the Southwest border that prompted Republican calls for his resignation, and what was seen as a failure to hold banks accountable for the financial system’s near-meltdown.

ranted, I also carry with me an understanding of the mistrust that some citizens harbor.”

Holder told The Associated Press in an interview that he’s not sure whether the Justice Department will finish its investigation into the shooting before he leaves.

“I don’t want to rush them,” Holder said. He said once out of office, he will direct attention to “issues that have animated me” during his tenure, including criminal justice and civil rights.

“If you asked me what my biggest regret was, I would say that it was the failure to pass any responsible and reasonable gun safety legislation after the shootings in Newtown,” Holder said.

He said he thought in the aftermath of the school shootings in Connecticut that the nation would embrace change that was “not radical but really reasonable” on gun ownership.

GUEST COLUMN | IGPA: ON THE ISSUES

The compelling challenge to rehab Illinois After election, comprehensive reforms needed MIKE LAWRENCE Springfield

(Second in a series) Gov. Pat Quinn and Bruce Rauner are having a brawl – trash talk and all. So, it’s less likely with every gouge and grunt, that either will focus on rescuing Illinois until after the election – if then.

Just 2 months after the final low blow, the whopping “temporary” increase enacted by Quinn and Democratic lawmakers in 2011 will slide from 5 percent to 3.75 for individuals and from 7 to 5.25 for corporations, without legislative and gubernatorial intervention.

State Comptroller Judy Topinka warns of a $2 billion collapse that will further erode funding for education and vital human services as leaders grapple with pensions and other accumulated obligations.

To the bloodied victor in the Quinn-Rauner battle will go the spoils and the toil.

In addition to addressing the foreboding budgetary “heart attack” colorfully

articulated by Topinka, the winner should dedicate his stewardship to rehabbing the buckling knees of a once-proud giant among states.

He and legislative chieftains must summon rare statesmanship, courage and creativity.

TO CHART THEIR course, they can reference a roadmap crafted

by J. Thomas Johnson and James D. Nowlan, long-respected practitioners and former presidents of the Illinois Taxpayers’ Federation. In their new book, “Fixing Illinois,” they make the case and the call for comprehensive reforms.

State government must overhaul an outdated tax structure that reflects the manufacturing-muscled economy of 1969 instead of its service-dominated successor.

In particular, it needs to broaden tax bases instead of raise rates. By extending the sales tax to most services, exclusive of health care, it can raise billions, help revive and stabilize state finances,

and lower the rates on consumer purchases.

Similarly, the income tax base can be broadened by including retirement benefits exceeding, say, $50,000 or $75,000.

Politically painful, yes, but can Illinois policymakers justify maintaining any or all of the 67 percent income tax Mike increase Lawrence imposed on working families while sparing those with handsome retirement incomes?

JUST AS IMPORTANT, the governor and Legislature should spend more strategically. As a recent audit highlighted, the state has misspent millions by failing to purge Medicaid rolls of ineligibles. It slights effective community-based networks of education, training and substance abuse services that would keep offenders out of far costlier prison cells. Other targets for frugality abound.

‘‘

Our beleaguered state needs an election aftermath much, much more inspiring than the slugfest we are enduring now.

’’

Mike Lawrence

Leaders, too, must encourage businesses to grow and locate here by re-establishing fiscal integrity in Springfield, dumping unduly cumbersome regulation, and revising worker’s compensation laws that make us less competitive with other states.

Optimally, for political as well as policy reasons, these reforms should be approached collectively rather than piecemeal.

For example, it becomes more palatable for a governor and lawmakers to tax services if they simultaneously make it easier to start and expand a business and cut spending as well.

Conventional wisdom

Note to readers: This is the second of a seven-part weekly series on various issues that impact the 2014 election campaign. It is the IGPA’s mission to help bring non-partisan, expert information into the policy and political discussion in Illinois. envisions that if Quinn wins, he and Democratic legislators will quickly extend the income tax rates they set 4 years ago.

If they stop there, they will have squandered yet another opportunity for reform.

IF RAUNER TRIUMPHS, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton undoubtedly will challenge the rookie governor to prove he has the smarts and moxie he has advertised while deriding Democratic helmsmanship.

They will welcome the consolation of watching Republican legislators, who have carped from the sidelines, being pressured by a Republican chief executive to support unpopular revenue increases and budget cuts.

Many predict gridlock and chaos. But a Rauner governorship could produce sweeping regulatory reforms and other business-friendly moves that would provide cover for squeamish GOP legislators.

In any event, our beleaguered state needs an election aftermath much, much more inspiring than the slugfest we are enduring now.

He has had a long and very distinguished career in and around Illinois state government, including serving as director of the Paul Simon Institute at SIU-Carbondale and as former Gov.

Come and view more than 80 breeds of dogs featured at the Dog Breed Expo, held from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday on the Dixon Courthouse lawn during the annual Scarecrow Festival.

In its sixth year, the Dog Breed Expo is one of the most popular events at the festival, attracting nearly 5,000 spectators eager to meet the various breeds of dogs featured.

The dogs are not necessarily show dogs but pets of the volunteer owners who are willing to show off their dogs.

It is free for the public to view and free to the owners to display their pets. Only one dog per breed is accepted for the “doggie zoo.”

If you have a purebred dog you would like to enter, it may still not be too late to register it at RK9Zoo. com. You just come and answer questions that anyone might have about your breed. Bring whatever you’ll need to make your pet and yourself comfortable for 3 hours. Each animal has a 10-foot by 10-foot roped-off area.

The children began clapping, smiling, and sometimes shouting a tribute as well. Patriotism has been strengthening in our country over the past decade.

of our state. This would not be possible without leaders such as state Sen. Mike Jacobs representing our community.

In the late 1990s, the state started building the Thomson prison. However, the prison remained vacant for years. Mike didn’t take no for an answer. He worked, with other elected officials, to ensure the prison would be a job producer for our area.

Mike led the charge to sell the Thomson prison to the federal government, and he worked hard to ensure the facility would use local labor to modernize it and hire area residents. Mike delivered for us.

Last week, the federal government announced a series of job fairs to recruit future employees for the facility. The new jobs will definitely give a boost to our economy and keep unemployment rates low.

With [the arrival of] Western Illinois University, this area will be booming.

DeKALB – “Manly Men, Girly Girls and Everybody InBetween,” a new exhibit at the Northern Illinois University Art Museum, features gender in art.

This exhibition is not recommended for children, because of the adult subject matter and imagery. However, a second one, “Dressing Difference: Exploring Ethnicities in Modern Burma,” is more for general audiences. Visitors are advised that the adult exhibits can be seen when passing the gallery.

“Manly Men, Girly Girls” guides viewers to think about

how people see themselves and how others see them. The subject matter covers the range of gender identity.

Among the artists in the exhibition are Hana Pesut and Mariette Pathy Allen. Pesut’s work is a series called Switcheroo.

Couples who posed for her exchanged postures and clothing in a change of masculine and feminine styles. Her work includes a touch of humor.

Pathy Allen’s artistic talents show changes in transgender individuals, as they bring the kind of person they are on the inside into view.

Head coverings are important in Burma. They protect babies from evil and show social status in adult males and marital status for women. Costumes are a means of transmitting messages, which combine with jewelry to signal status and age.

Weapons are used in rites of passage for men, celebrating moral achievement, military strength, and status. Smoking also has a special place. This is a social time for men and women. Its accessories reveal ethnic associations.

Both exhibits will be displayed through Nov. 15.

While in town, visitors might

Husband’s first marriage shocks his widow Dear Abby, My husband recently passed away, and among his papers I discovered evidence of another previous marriage. It came as a shock, because he had never told me.

I am unclear as to why you would want to accept the overtures from someone with whom you have such a difficult relationship. However, because you feel that it would be possible under your terms, my advice is to write her a letter and tell her you will be willing to try only under the circumstances you described to me.

Are You All In? The expression “all in” refers to wagering one’s entire stake in poker, and thus has the connotation of being entirely committed to one’s hand, or by extension, to whatever one is doing. One could commit oneself entirely to a business proposition by investing all of one’s savings, for instance. Committing yourself to God is a lot like declaring that you are “all in.” That is, we can’t play half of our stake or only invest half of our resources in the kingdom of heaven. We must be completely committed to the spiritual life, wholeheartedly and single-mindedly giving our lives over to God. Anything else and you just aren’t all in. - Christopher Simon With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments! ~ Psalm 119:10

ELECTION 2014 | COMPTROLLER RACE

Rivals clash on approach to backlog of bills Simon’s campaign has accused Topinka of asking for favors SPRINGFIELD (AP) – With Illinois battling the nation’s worst unfunded pension liability, the two outspoken statewide office holders vying for its check-writing job are sparring over whether the incumbent has been open enough about how she priorities the multibillion dollar backlog of unpaid bills.

Democratic challenger Sheila Simon, the lieutenant governor, is trying to paint Republican Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka as an old-style politician using clout to push various agencies to the head of the line. But Topinka says she has a better understanding of the intricacies of the office.

Topinka, a former state treasurer and Illinois GOP chairwoman, likens the job to being a “skunk at a picnic” and sports faux skunk slippers on occasion at the Capitol

RIGHT: Her challenger, Illinois Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, talks with supporters in July 2013 before announcing her candidacy for Illinois comptroller at a news conference in Chicago. during her office’s annual cheesecake day in May. Simon, currently lieutenant governor under Gov. Pat Quinn, sews her own clothes and plays banjo in an all-female bluegrass band called “Loose Gravel.”

They both claim they’re in the best position to deal with the state’s current $5.4 billion backlog.

Illinois for several years has been delaying the payment of billions of

dollars in bills for months at a time. This has caused schools, hospitals and social service agencies to borrow money, cut jobs and services and take on personal debt.

Topinka boasts that she has implemented a policy of prioritizing payments for not-for-profit and service agencies that serve the state’s most vulnerable residents. She says there are “no favorites” but that she works with

state agencies, lawmakers and vendors themselves to understand which situations are most dire.

But Simon says the office should work to disclose exactly who it’s paying when, and why.

“It’s perfectly legal to be silent about that. I just think it’s wrong,” Simon said. She suggested the comptroller’s office should publicly disclose who agencies get-

ting expedited payments employ, the number of people they serve, and whether they’ve exhausted all other lines of credit.

Topinka calls Simon’s idea unfeasible and “overly simplistic,” noting the state writes checks from hundreds of different funds, some of which have large backlogs, and others which have no backlogs at all. The office is obligated by law to pay for some services, such as

IN BRIEF

Report: 12 firms linked to Rauner went bankrupt

Developer cancels plans for plant

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – A published report says that at least a dozen of the many companies owned by the investment firm of GOP governor candidate Bruce Rauner have gone bankrupt.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reports that a review of court records and news accounts found a dozen of hundreds of companies owned by the GTCR firm went bankrupt during or soon after Rauner’s 20-year tenure

OAKWOOD HILLS (AP) – The developers of a plan to build a gas-fired power plant in the northern Illinois village of Oakwood Hills have withdrawn their proposal, ending a project that drew strong opposition by residents, officials said Wednesday.

Enventure Partners and Northland Power, a Canadian company, were hoping to build a 430-megawatt natural gas-fired power plant that would supply electricity to 160,000 households.

The developer’s decision not to build came after the resignations of Village Presi-

at the company. A federal bankruptcy trial regarding one of the firms, Trans Bruce HealthRauner care Inc., is unfolding this week in Tampa, Florida.

Rauner served as a board member on seven of the dozen companies, the review found.

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, Rauner’s opponent in the November

election, has tried to make the Winnetka venture capitalist’s business management record an issue in the campaign, just as Rauner has criticized Quinn’s management of state government.

The Quinn campaign claims that the Trans Healthcare case is evidence that Rauner does not take responsibility for problems with his businesses. But Rauner spokesman Mike Schrimpf argues that Rauner has seen

foster care, immediately.

Topinka has broken with traditional party positions on a few issues, supporting Illinois’ new same-sex marriage law and opposing a sudden rollback of the state’s income tax increase as scheduled next January in favor of a more of a phased-in approach.

Simon’s campaign has been on the offensive, accusing Topinka of asking for favors after questions were raised recently about what some allege was an attempt to use clout to get her son a job at Southern Illinois University. She was caught on video at a summer bill signing engaging Gov. Pat Quinn in conversation, mentioning her son’s teaching qualifications and repeating “SIU.” Topinka said she was simply telling Quinn about her son. She recently countered by arguing that Simon, daughter of the late U.S. Sen. Paul Simon, has used her own family name for political advantage on the campaign trail.

far more successes than failures as an investor.

GTCR, from which Rauner officially retired in 2012, works by creating new companies or acquiring existing ones and later selling them or taking them public. It also manages money from Illinois state employees’ retirement funds.

The campaign says GTCR created and oversaw “hundreds” of companies. Rauner put the figure at around 400 in an appearance earlier this month.

Village officials were unavailable for comment on the developers’ decision.

However, a statement on the village’s website said officials the village board appreciated all the people who participated in the public hearing process. It went on to say the process “created an awareness of the community of Oakwood Hills and all it has to offer its residents and neighbors.”

However, opposition to the proposed plant prompted the closing of the Village Hall for nearly a month after threats were made at a zoning board hearing.

COMMENTARY | TELEVISION

Oliver adds journalism to his comedy Host began weekly HBO show in April

BY DAVID BAUDER Associated Press

NEW YORK – In poking fun at the Miss America pageant on the most recent episode of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight,” John Oliver reached for the comedic equivalent of low-hanging fruit.

Then he veered into something wholly unexpected – investigative journalism.

His subsequent report questioning the pageant’s scholarship program was the latest example of how Oliver has quickly moved beyond his roots at “The Daily Show” to produce something distinctive, and usually hilarious.

Oliver, who subbed for Jon Stewart as host of “The Daily Show” last summer and began his own HBO weekly show in April, often devotes about half of his 30 minutes to a single topic below the headlines. He’s discussed gender pay inequality, anti-gay laws in Uganda, net neutrality and the politics of the World Cup. Remember, this is a comedy show.

His 15-minute Miss America segment began

with jokes about how dated a beauty pageant seems, and his incredulity at some of the questions contestants are asked. He took some shots at Donald Trump, who owns a competing pageant. Then he zeroed in on the Miss America organization’s claim of making $45 million in scholarship money available to young women each year.

“Forty-five million,” Oliver said. “That is an unbelievable amount of money. As in, I literally did not believe that.”

His staff researched documents, finding a federal disclosure form that said the pageant spent $482,000 in scholarships in 2012. They researched tax forms on statewide pageants, finding several scholarship offers that couldn’t possibly be awarded at the same time were added together to help reach the final figure. In other words, people shouldn’t confuse money that might be available with money spent.

That’s journalism, minus any apparent attempt to let pageant officials offer their side. The organization subsequently issued a

60¢ WING TUESDAY

statement not specifically addressing Oliver’s charge that Miss America was being misleading, but said that “as with any scholarship, the full amount awarded may not always be used as recipients plans change or evolve.”

Oliver has journalists who worked at the New York Times Magazine and ProPublica on his writing staff.

Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University’s Bleier Center for Television and Popular Culture, calls Oliver’s

John Oliver speaks in April during “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” in New York. Oliver, who subbed for Jon Stewart as host of “The Daily Show” last summer and began his own HBO weekly show in April, often devotes about half of his 30 minutes to a single topic below the headlines. work “investigative comedy.” Thompson has played the net neutrality segment for his students.

Research indicates that young people are much

more likely than their elders to take a deeper dive into news stories that interest them, searching for more information online, said Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute. What Oliver is doing responds to that desire, he said.

“There is a natural link between committing journalism and committing comedy,” Rosenstiel said. “They’re both in the uncovering and unmasking business, but with different approaches.”

Oliver, who wasn’t made available by HBO for an interview, has made no secret of his debt to “The Daily Show,” and viewers of “Last Week Tonight” will find many similar elements.

This week, he paired a little-noticed development

– President Obama acting to continue the economic embargo against Cuba for another year – with a video clip of prepresident Obama saying in 2004 that the embargo had outlived its usefulness.

But in a weekly show, Oliver needs to go beyond daily developments. He hasn’t hesitated to get into issues that others might consider eye-glazing. He even makes that part of the comedy.

In describing the concept of net neutrality, Oliver said, “the only two words that promise more boredom in the English language are ‘featuring Sting.’” The segment, besides a look at the arcanity of federal communications regulation, included a break-dancing Abraham Lincoln impersonator.

Circumstances for 4-4 can vary more

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Kate Moss said, “I was definitely living fast. I was working, traveling a lot, playing.

I didn’t stop. It all became unbalanced.”

In yesterday’s column, we saw a deal in which a 4-4 fit was worse than a 6-3 because there was an inevitable trump loser in the 4-4 fit, but those losers could be discarded if it were a side suit.

Today’s deal is another example of one in which the unbalanced fit works better than the balanced, but it is hard to recognize at the table.

After South opens one spade and North raises to two spades, it is tempting for South to rebid three hearts.

Perhaps North has raised with three spades and five

(or six) hearts. Here, North would surely raise to four hearts.

Whether South is in four spades or four hearts, West does best to lead his fourth-

highest club, guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit (or a most unlikely singleton). East takes the trick as cheaply as possible and continues with his original fourth-highest club, which South ruffs. What happens after that?

In four spades, declarer continues with the diamond king. West wins and plays a third club. South ruffs, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes the diamond queen, ruffs the diamond three in the dummy, and plays on hearts. Declarer loses only one spade, one diamond and one club.

In four hearts, though, the continued club leads force declarer to ruff twice in his hand, which promotes West’s heart jack to a winner.

The defenders take one trick in each suit for down one. © 2014 UFS

ILLINOIS

High court to hear appeal of cigarette class-action lawsuit ST. LOUIS (AP) – The Illinois Supreme Court has agreed to review a lower court’s reinstatement of a decade-old $10.1 billion class-action verdict against Phillip Morris USA over the nation’s biggest cigarette maker’s marketing of “light” and “low tar” designations.

The high court, which has thrown out the verdict at least once, decided Wednesday it would hear arguments involving the April opinion by the Mount Vernon-based 5th District Appellate Court, Supreme Court spokesperson Joe Tybor said Thursday.

The appellate court ruling restored a 2003 verdict in southwestern Illinois’ Madison County that found Philip Morris broke state law by marketing “light” and “low tar” cigarettes as safer than other cigarettes. The lawsuit was the nation’s first to accuse a tobacco company of consumer fraud.

The April ruling has been stayed, pending appeals.

The state Supreme Court later tossed that verdict, saying the Federal Trade Commission allowed companies to characterize or label their

cigarettes as “light” and “low tar.” It said Philip Morris could not be held liable under state law even if the terms were misleading or false.

The U.S. Supreme Court let that ruling stand in late 2006, and a Madison County judge dismissed the case the next month.

But in a 5-4 decision in December 2008, the nation’s high court ruled in favor of three Maine residents who said smokers should be able to use state consumer protection laws to sue cigarette makers for promoting “light” and “low tar” brands.

Digging one out Rockets dig hole, rally to beat Winnebago

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5554

ROCK FALLS – The start was slow and tentative for the Rock Falls volleyball team Thursday night. The finish was vintage Rockets.

After watching a lead disappear in an opening-game loss to Winnebago at Tabor Gym, Rock Falls bounced back to take the next two games in a 22-25, 25-21, 25-14 Big Northern West victory.

“We realized after that first game that each of us had to step up a lot, and we had to pick it up as a team,” senior middle Bailey Schrader said.

“I think that we thought it would be easier than it was,” junior outside hitter Bailey O’Brien said. “But we pushed through it and fought back for the win.”

The Rockets (13-5, 6-1) led 15-9 in Game 1 before the Indians (6-10, 2-4) came charging back. Winnebago scored nine of the next 11 points to take an 18-17 lead, then rallied from a 20-18 deficit a short time later.

With the scored tied at 21, ’Bago senior setter Abby Brown notched a tip-kill, then reeled off two more points for a 24-21 lead. She set senior Austynn Eubank for two kills in the final three points to finish things off.

“It was back-and-forth, pointfor-point there early on,” Winnebago coach Kendra Cox said, “and I’m so proud of the girls’ mental toughness. We executed like we work on in practice.”

The first half of Game 2 was more of the same.

Four words keep Long on course Senior writes on glove to keep calm

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

STERLING – When Rock Falls golfer Matt Long grips his driver and addresses the ball before a tee shot, he can’t help but notice four words scribbled on his glove that line the length of his thumb.

“It’s hard not to see them,” Long said. “They usually help me.”

The words “Take Away and Slow” are written in permanent marker on the glove that covers his left hand. As a sentence, the words don’t make much sense.

But to Long, they mean the difference between a straight, long drive, or one that ends up with a search party.

Clicking sound starting Rock Falls’ offense getting in sync after slow start

BY DAN WOESSNER dwoessner@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5555

One thing that hasn’t been a problem for the Rock Falls Rockets over the last few years has been the ability to score points.

So, the most surprising aspect about the first 3 weeks of the season was that the offense wasn’t finding its way into the end zone.

The Rockets (0-4, 0-2) were shut out in losses to Harvard Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com and Oregon, and scored 14 Rock Falls’ Jacob Mammosser tries to shed the tackle of a Byron points in a Week 2 loss at defender last week.

The Rockets scored on a 25-yard pass from Noah Junis to Connor Cain out of a new formation named “asinine” by Rock Falls coach Scott Berge.

The Rockets scored another touchdown on a 45-yard connection from Junis to Cain.

As the team’s former quarter-

back, Jacob Mammosser could feel a shift in the offense that could lead to big things during this week’s game at Winnebago (1-3, 0-2).

“I think we were really able to start to get thing going last week,” Mammosser said. “I think that can carry over to this week.

“There should be opportunities for us to make some big plays against Winnebago, and we’ll be ready to make them.”

Mammosser has adjusted to his new role well. He had six catches last week to run his season total to 13 for 61 yards.

Renovations to start on Wrigley The Chicago Cubs will begin a $575 million Wrigley Field renovation project any day, and will likely start demolishing the outfield bleachers next week, a team spokesman said Thursday.

Spokesman Julian Green said the team plans to have seven new outfield signs – including a massive Jumbotron above the leftfield bleachers – in place by the beginning of next season.

The project comes despite a legal fight between the owners of the rooftop businesses across the street from Wrigley and the city.

Patrick looks to continue last-season progress at Dover By the Associated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Danica Patrick has shown steady improvement over the last month, notching four consecutive strong finishes.

Patrick, in her second full season in the Sprint Cup Series, began her roll at Atlanta, where she finished a career-best sixth.

She’d never finished higher than 21st at Atlanta.

Those results were tempered, though, by the realization she was next headed to Richmond.

Patrick had never qualified or finished higher than 30th at Richmond, but she shattered those marks by qualifying 13th and finishing 16th.

She then headed to her home track Chicagoland Speedway, where Patrick had never qualified or finished in the top 20. She beat that mark with a 19th-place finish.

Poulter takes game to new level during team event

BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

Today’s opening matches

AP

Ian Poulter plays off the 4th tee during a practice round ahead of the Ryder Cup on Thursday at Gleneagles, Scotland. Poulter has earned the title of “Mr. Ryder Cup” for the European team.

Ballesteros remains the symbol of European success in the Ryder Cup. Montgomerie never lost in eight singles matches.

Poulter has won seven straight matches dating to Celtic Manor in 2010, and he was the catalyst in Europe’s great comeback at Medinah 2 years ago. He went 4-0, and closed with five straight birdies in the final team session that gave Europe momentum it carried into the final day.

That’s what led Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood to suggest Europe change its criteria to nine qualifiers, two captain’s picks and Poulter.

Call him ‘Mr. Ryder Cup’ GLENEAGLES, Scotland – Nothing about Ian Poulter suggests he belongs in the same conversation as Seve Ballesteros and Colin Montgomerie.

Ballesteros was a fivetime major champion, a genius with a club in his hand, so full of passion that he inspired an entire continent. Montgomerie was Europe’s best player for a decade, an eight-time winner of the Order of Merit.

Poulter is not in the league.

Then again, the reference Thursday was not just about golf. It was about the Ryder Cup. Poulter talks about his pride in wearing the Europe team shirt. The way he plays in these matches, his uniform should come with a cape.

“I think how I’ve performed in the last number of Ryder Cup ... if I really have to sit back and think about it, I’m very proud of that,” he said Thursday. “Very proud of my record, and proud that I’ve put a lot of blue on the board. I’m passionate as a team player. And yeah, to be mentioned with the likes of Seve and Monty and those players is an absolute honor.”

On the tube TV listings

when he’s not in the Ryder Cup? Ian Poulter might as well be Clark Kent.

Sure, he has won a pair of World Golf Championships, among 14 titles worldwide. He has never won a stroke-play event in America. He has never won a major, and only twice has he been considered a threat in the majors on the back nine.

The Ryder Cup is different.

His overall record is 12-3, the best winning percentage among Europeans who have played on at least four teams. Perhaps that’s why U.S. captain Tom Watson has singled him out on a European team that features the No. 1

1:35 a.m. – Bubba Watson, Webb Simpson (U.S.) vs. Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson 1:50 a.m. – Rickie Fowler, Jimmy Walker (U.S.) vs. Thomas Bjorn, Martin Kaymer 2:05 a.m. – Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed (U.S.) vs. Stephen Gallacher, Ian Poulter 2:30 a.m. – Keegan Bradley, Phil Mickelson (U.S.) vs. Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy player in the world and four major champions.

“We’ve got a lot of players to look at,” Watson said. “But Poulter, I think Ian with his record ... he is an 80 percent victor over the series of matches he’s played in. We’d like to reduce that.”

The difference now is that Poulter has never received as much attention as this year. Everyone knows his prowess in match play, particularly the Ryder Cup. Still, the focus was on Rory McIlroy as the No. 1 player in the world at Medinah. It was on Lee Westwood, on the verge of becoming No. 1 in the world, at Celtic Manor.

It was on double major champion Padraig Harrington at Valhalla.

Same old Solider Field success Packers looking to repeat recent history against Bears

Notre Dame’s Greg Bryant runs against Purdue on Sept. 13 in Indianapolis. The Irish’s third-string running back, Bryant is eager to prove to coaches that he deserves more playing time.

ND’s Bryant eager to move up depth chart

BY TOM COYNE Associated Press

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Greg Bryant doesn’t like being Notre Dame’s No. 3 tailback.

The 5-foot-10, 205pound sophomore from Delray Beach, Florida, isn’t disgruntled; he’s just doing his best to make it hard for Fighting Irish coaches to keep him behind senior captain Cam McDaniel and sophomore Tarean Folston on the depth chart.

“I don’t want to be just a third-string running back ever,” Bryant said. “I’m going to just keep making plays and see what the coaches do from there. If you make plays, they have no choice but to move you up.”

Bryant has been making plays. He’s fourth on the team in carries behind Folston, McDaniel, and quarterback Everett Golson. Yet Bryant leads the eighth-ranked Irish (3-0) in rushing with 119 yards, averaging 5.4 yards per carry heading into their game against Syracuse (2-1) on Saturday in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

He also had his first two catches for 17 yards each against Purdue.

Coach Brian Kelly said Bryant still has work to do to move up the depth chart.

“He’s only played three college games, and there are a lot of things that go on with being the guy that takes reps away from two very experienced players,” Kelly said. “Nothing that he’s not capable of doing.

But he’s got to unseat two guys that have played a lot of football, and are really good players.”

Irish ground game Greg Bryant – 22 rushes, 119 yards, TD Tarean Folston – 30 rushes, 110 yards Cam McDaniel – 25 rushes, 97 yards TD Everett Golson – 29 rushes, 83 yards, 4 TDs Malik Zaire – 4 rushes, 67 yards Bryant arrived on campus last season as a fivestar recruit and expected to take over the starter’s job immediately, especially with the top two runners from the previous season gone. But he struggled with the mental aspects of the game and had just three carries through the first three games before tearing the meniscus in his right knee and missing the rest of the season.

Bryant calls it a humbling experience.

“It made me just more hungry to come back this year and make an impact,” he said.

Bryant accepts that the Irish are going to use all three backs. He endorses the idea.

“We all can come in on different situations and make plays. So it’s a blessing to have us three back there,” he said.

McDaniel is the veteran, gritty back. Folston is a smoother runner who gained valuable experience last season rushing for 470 yards, with 401 yards coming in the final six games. Bryant is a powerful runner who also has elusive speed.

So far, Kelly has been using a rotation, with each back going in for a series at a time.

LAKE FOREST – The Bears’ recent history against the Packers – eight losses in 10 meetings, including the gut-wrenching final-minute defeat at Soldier Field in Week 17 that cost them a division title – isn’t pretty.

Neither was Detroit’s before its unprecedented Week 3 victory, the Lions’ first against the Packers when Aaron Rodgers went the distance.

But the NFL’s receiving co-leader, Jordy Nelson, said Wednesday that his team isn’t panicking despite one of the worst offensive outings of the Rodgers era in Week 3. The reason?

“Just knowing that we’ve been through it before,” Nelson said.

“We’ve been 1-2 the last 2 years, so it’s early. Every year is different, every team is different, so we just got to figure out what’s going to work for this team, this year, and ride with that.”

Green Bay’s recent success at Soldier Field, Nelson said, might give the Packers confidence, but he knows that history guarantees nothing, especially with all the changes both teams have undergone. One such change is the arrival of outstanding rookie Kyle Fuller, who should see plenty of action Sunday lined up across from Nelson.

“He’s doing a great job,” Nelson said. “He’s attacking, and that’s what Chicago has always done.

You can tell they teach it and preach it there. … He has a knack for getting the ball out, making interceptions, making plays.”

Packers coach Mike McCarthy also highlighted the presence of the Bears’ infusion of veterans up front as something that’s caught his eye.

“Jared Allen – we have a lot of history with Jared, an outstanding football player, and the same

He has fit in behind the Rockets’ two favorite targets – Cain and Tanner Dean.

Cain was the third option last year, behind Austin Donoho and Daegan Wharff. He had 37 catches for 384 yards and four touchdowns.

He already has 35 catches this season for 399 yards and three touchdowns.

“He only 6-foot, but he goes up for the ball like he’s 6-4,” Mammosser said. “He’s going to fight for everything, and if the ball is close, he’s probably

K.C. magic number at 1; Brewers eliminated By the Associated Press

Eric Hosmer homered and drove in two runs, Lorenzo Cain had four hits and scored twice, and the Kansas City Royals put themselves on the verge of a playoff spot with a 6-3 victory over the White Sox on Thursday night in Chicago.

One more win for Kansas City, or a loss by Seattle, will send the Royals to the postseason for the first time since George Brett led them to a championship in 1985.

Kansas City remained two games behind Detroit in the AL Central, and moved one up on Oakland in the wild card standings.

Hosmer had three hits, including an RBI single in the first and a solo homer off Jose Quintana that tied it at 3-3 in the sixth.

Cain scored the goahead run in the eighth when second baseman Marcus Semien bounced the throw trying to turn a double play, and Alex

Gordon added an RBI single.

The Royals went ahead after back-to-back singles by Cain and Hosmer put runners on first and third.

Jake Petricka relieved Quintana, and it looked as if the White Sox would get out of it when Billy Butler sent a grounder to short.

Semien, however, bounced the throw to first. That allowed Cain to score the go-ahead run, and Gordon followed with a single to drive in pinch-runner Terrance Gore, making it 5-3.

That made a winner of Kelvin Herrera (4-3), who worked a scoreless seventh after James Shields went six innings.

Wade Davis pitched the eighth, and Greg Holland worked the ninth for his 45th save in 47 chances.

Shields allowed three runs and five hits for Kansas City.

Quintana (9-11) gave up five runs and 11 hits over 7 1/3 innings for Chicago.

The White Sox held retiring captain Paul Konerko out of the lineup, but he expects to start the final three games. He has been playing through a broken bone in his left hand and was “a little sore” after playing two of the previous three in Detroit.

Reds 5, Brewers 3:

Brandon Phillips hit his first home run in almost 3 months, and rookie David Holmberg pitched six solid innings as the Reds officially ended Milwaukee’s postseason hopes with their win in Cincinnati.

Milwaukee’s loss meant the San Francisco Giants clinched a playoff spot.

The Brewers committed three errors, including two in the fifth when the Reds tied the score and took a 3-2 lead with unearned runs. Second baseman Rickie Weeks committed two of the errors after giving Milwaukee a 1-0 lead with his eighth homer of the season in the second inning.

Giant target for Manning Tight end Donnell catches three TDs in rout of Washington

BY JOSEPH WHITE AP Sports Writer

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Rock Falls’ Cooper Kilberg tees off Thursday at Emerald Hill. The Rockets beat Newman and Morrison.

LANDOVER, Md. – Larry Donnell kicked his right leg high as he fell to the turf in the east end zone, then did the same with his left leg at the west end. Touchdown catches that mirrored each other.

And he still wasn’t done for the New York Giants.

The tight end has become Eli Manning’s top receiver, the perfect target in the team’s new dinkand-dunk offense.

The second-year player who went undrafted out of Grambling State caught three scoring passes in the first half – similar twist-thebody grabs in the end zone of 5, 6, and 6 yards – in a 45-14 victory over the turnover-prone Washing-

Did you know?

• Larry Donnell became the first Giant to catch three TDs in one half since Amani Toomer in 2002. ton Redskins on Thursday night.

After struggling in his first two games running new offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo’s West Coast playbook, Manning has led the Giants (2-2) to consecutive victories.

Manning is supposed to complete 70 percent of his passes in this offense, and he surpassed that mark against the Redskins, going 28-for-39 – including three simple open-field drops – for 300 yards with four touchdowns and one interception.

Manning also ran for a 1-yard score, as did Andre Williams.

Donnell finished with seven catches for 54 yards. He had only one career touchdown catch entering the game, but he now leads the Giants this season in TD catches (4) and overall receptions (25). Daniel Fells had a 2-yard scoring catch in the third quarter, which means tight ends have snagged seven of Manning’s nine TD passes this season.

New York’s Victor Cruz added six catches for 108 yards, his second consecutive 100-yard game.

Kirk Cousins and his receivers weren’t anywhere near as efficient for the Redskins, who were undone by six turnovers that led to 31 points for the Giants.

Long, Tegeler battle for medalist honors WORDS

CONTINUED FROM B1

The words came from the mouth of Sterling coach C.J. Wade during a swing lesson during Long’s sophomore year.

Long would get anxious before tee shots and his form would break down, causing sometimes errant shots.

“I sometimes get way too ahead of myself,” Long said. “I’ve been struggling with my driver a bit, and I would get nervous with people watching me, but reading those words helps me remember what I’m supposed to do.”

With conference meets looming next week for area golf teams, Long has paid extra attention to the technical aspects of his game, and used Thursday’s three-team meet with Morrison and Newman as a tune-up. Long helped Rock Falls to a win on the front nine at Emerald Hill with a meet-low 40.

The Rockets won with 169, Morrison was second with 187, and Newman was third at 216.

Long added the artwork to his glove at the start of this season in order to help him remember the lesson with Wade, and glanced at it often Thursday. The words remind Long, a senior, to take things slow and think about his swing, specifically during the backswing.

The saying has helped Long focus more and, as a result, he has made fewer mistakes and has emerged as a one of the Rockets’ top golfers this season.

His improved tee shots

set him up in better position to take safer shots, with more of the course at his disposal. He needed just 16 putts during his round.

“I’ve just been trying to come out and play every day,” Long said. “I try not to take any days off, and I think that has helped me as well. Just getting used to the greens has been a focus of mine, because they’re always faster this time of year.”

The Rockets also had counting scores from Nolan Moeller (42), Carrigan Chouinard (43), and Cooper Kilberg (44).

Kilberg, who has carded rounds in the 30s this season, said he is working through a rough patch that he hopes will be figured out soon, with the postseason in the near future.

“I just have to work through some things,” Kilberg said. “I’m not sure what exactly it is, but I’m pretty confident it will be cleaned up by next week.”

Ben Tegeler challenged Long’s medalist 40, and finished with a 42. Tegeler has been a key part in a Morrison team that doesn’t have a clear No. 1.

A different golfer steps up each meet, and this time it was Tegeler.

Newman was led by Matt Wagenecht’s 48. He overcame issues with his driver to turn in a strong round.

“I was having issues with my driver the last couple weeks,” Wagenecht said.

“I’ve been working on it more than anything, especially during these meets.

“You need to use these meets to prepare for the postseason, and just try to keep getting better.”

One ace up Cubs’ sleeves Arrieta proves he’s foundation for future rotation

BY MARK GONZALES Chicago Tribune

Typically, an ace has both those qualities – carrying you deep and having stuff. He’s been able to do • Jake Arrieta, 28, was drafted that. by the Orioles in 2007, and “This was a very strong outing for pitched parts of four major league seasons in Baltimore him, this being his last start. Everystarting in 2010. He is 14-7 with one is proud of him, and looking a 2.81 ERA since coming to the forward to the upcoming season.”

Cubs in 2013. He was 20-25 Renteria likened Arrieta’s ascent with a 5.46 ERA with Baltimore. to a growth spurt, and Arrieta spoke of his progress and the few setbacks as a learning tool for his Lester. But Arrieta’s performance cemented the Cubs’ trust in him as younger teammates heading into 2015. part of their future.

Arrieta also helped his cause by Arrieta struck out 10 and finished poking a two-run triple with two the season with 23 strikeouts over his final two starts. He also lowered outs in the fourth inning off John his ERA to 2.53 after a 3-1 win over Lackey to snap a scoreless tie.

“I try to put as much effort into the Cardinals. At Wrigley, Arrieta the offensive side of the game as I improved to 6-1 with a 1.46 ERA, can,” said Arrieta, who is batting while holding opponents to a .166 .179 this season. “We go out there batting average. every day and swing it, and try and “He’s our ace,” manager Rick Renteria said. “And he’s been pitch- get as much comfort as possible, try to put some good swings on it. ing pretty much like an ace. He’s got that type of stuff. But he’s been I just hung in there and was able to put enough on it to find the gap.” carrying us deep into ballgames.

FYI

After capping a 10-5 season by holding the St. Louis Cardinals to two hits over seven innings Wednesday night, it would seem axiomatic that Jake Arrieta would start the Chicago Cubs’ 2015 opener on April 6 against the Cardinals.

But Arrieta, known for his team thoughts as well as his deluxe right arm, carefully answered the question about an opening day assignment.

“I think that’s a possibility,” said Arrieta, who has pitched like a staff ace after Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel were traded on July 5. “I think it’s really something that will kind of develop or unfold as that time approaches.

“I anticipate things happening this offseason. Obviously, the AP direction we’re moving is a very Jake Arrieta became the ace of the Cubs staff after positive one.” the team traded Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel There’s a strong possibility the in July.

To: BRANDEN LEE MICHAEL SCHAEFER and unknown heirs.

Notice is given of the death of LESTER LEE SCHAEFER. Letters of office were issued on August 25, 2014 to PATRICIA LYNN HOCHMUTH as Independent Executor, whose attorney is Michael C. Downey, 420 West Second Street, Dixon, IL, 61021.

An order was entered granting independent administration of the decedent's estate. This means that the executor or administrator will not have to obtain Court orders to file estate papers in Court during probate. The estate will be administered without Court supervision, unless and interested person asks the Court to become involved.

Under Section 28-4 of the Probate Act (755 ILCS 5/28-4), any interested person may terminate independent administration at any time by mailing or delivering a petition to terminate to the Clerk of the Court. However, if there is a will which directs independent administration, independent administration will be terminated only if the Court finds there is good cause to require supervised administration and if the petitioner is a creditor or non-residuary legatee, independent administration will be terminated only if the Court finds that termination is necessary to protect the petitioner's interest.

In addition to the right to terminate independent administration, any interested person may petition the Court to hold a hearing and resolve any particular question that may arise during independent administration, even though supervised administration has not been requested (Probate Act Section 28-5, 755 ILCS 5/28-5). The independent representative must mail a copy of the estate inventory and final account to each interested person and must send notice to or obtain the approval of each interested person before the estate can be closed (Probate Act Section28-6 and 28-11, 755 ILCS 5/28-6 and 28-11). Any interested person ahs the right to question or object to any item included in or omitted from and inventory or account or to insist on a full court accounting of all receipts and disbursements with prior notice, as required in supervised administration (Probate Act Section 28-11, 75 ILCS 5/28-11).

Dated this 17th day of September, 2014.

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c)) Looking for the perfect home?

Astrograph Rely on your intelligence and ingenuity Friday, September 26, 2014 Successful partnerships will be highlighted this year. Personal, business and professional collaborations will bring worthwhile returns. You will come out ahead if you rely on your intelligence and ingenuity, along with your ability to contribute to something that you feel passionate about.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Unexpected changes and unforeseen issues will arise.

Trying to stick to a schedule will end in frustration. Throw out your game plan and go with the flow for best results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be relentless in your pursuits.

You have the know-how to reach your destination. You’ll face some objection to your plans, but you are the best judge of what is right for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Use your talents and good will to help people in your area who are in need. An association with a charitable or benevolent agency will bring you positive recognition.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Overconfidence will be your downfall. Keep your plans a

secret if you don’t want someone to thwart your success. Be wary of anyone who presses you for information.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s time to face the music.

You have been avoiding an issue in hopes that it will disappear, but that isn’t going to happen.

You will sleep better once the matter is resolved.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Implement the changes around your home that will improve your standard of living. An unanticipated windfall will come your way through a forgotten investment or an old debt owed to you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Stick to your principles, but be mindful of others. Relationship woes can be resolved if you are patient and understanding. Don’t let minor matters get blown out of proportion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Assess your current situation.

It’s time to strengthen your skills by attending a course or researching a career that interests you. Set your goal high and do what’s necessary to reach it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Stick with tried and true methods. Your innovative ideas have value, but you will have trouble gaining support if they are considered far-fetched or unreasonable.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Self-improvement projects should be for your benefit, not someone else’s. Be true to yourself and don’t try to imitate someone else. Be proud of your originality.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- It’s a good time to discuss your goals.

Seek out the help of someone whose opinion you respect. Once your intentions are divulged, you will be offered help and support.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let anyone rush or push you today. You are likely to miss a step and be forced to start all over. An unhurried approach will bring the best results.
