SERVING DIXON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1851

DIXON | REAGAN LEGACY NORMAN WYMBS | 1923-2016 Towner Reed cleans the Ronald Reagan statue Thursday afternoon on the Dixon riverfront. Reed has a connection to the statue of the city’s most famous son; her father, Don Reed, designed it.

The bronze, life-size work, titled “Begins the Trail,” features Reagan astride a palomino horse he once rode.

It serves as the centerpiece of Heritage Crossing, an open-air plaza that overlooks the Rock River. The statue is undergoing cleaning and routine maintenance.

PROPHETSTOWN-LYNDON-TAMPICO SCHOOLS

IN BRIEF

Student arrested in PLT school threat; another suspect sought

Woman denied $50K prize due to drug links

BY CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN cheimerman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5523 CHeimerman_SVM

PROPHETSTOWN – A Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico Middle School student has admitted to threatening students Wednesday night on Facebook, but the district’s buildings remained on soft lockdown Thursday because authorities are still investigating another threat posted on the social media site.

About 8 Wednesday night, a student using the Facebook profile “Clowny Bobby” said he was “planning to attack Prophetstown Lyndon Tampico school hope all of you have fun dieing [sic].”

A parent’s tip to the Prophetstown Police Department led to the student’s confession about 8:30 Thursday morning. Because the student is a juvenile, his name is not being released.

Another user, going under the profile name Josh Wise, made the following post last night: “Ptown high school b read [expletive] is not gonna be pretty its gonna be as ugly as ugiys [sic] have tryed [sic] to make me out to b,” followed by an emoji of a pistol.

Police Chief Bruce Franks said his department already has a lead in

Schools were locked down in the Prophetstown-Lyndon-Tampico School District on Thursday after a Facebook posting Wednesday by “Clowny Bobby” threatened to attack the schools. that investigation.

“The Josh Wise one alarmed me more than the other one, since he used a gun in his post,” Franks said. “I think it’s obviously a copycat jumping on the clown bandwagon, but we treat everything as a credible threat.”

The school was on lockdown Thursday morning, extra police were on hand, and students’ backpacks were searched. It remains on soft lockdown, meaning classrooms are being monitored more closely, and students are not allowed to move around the school as “freely,” Interim Superintendent Chad Colmone said.

He said there’s no indication “Josh Wise” attends the school district and, since all students’ backpacks were searched, the police presence was lifted.

“We’re still going to make sure everything is tightened up,” Colmone said.

Investigations into both threats are ongoing. The Whiteside County State’s Attorney’s Office is assisting the Prophetstown department with the student arrested Thursday morning.

The school district has begun deliberating discipline. Colmone said at this time it doesn’t appear to be headed to the school board for an expulsion hearing, although more investigation needs to be done.

The Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department, Tampico Police and Illinois State Police also assisted.

DECATUR (AP) – An Illinois woman will lose out on the proceeds from a $50,000 lottery ticket after a state appeals court ruled the government should keep the money because the ticket was purchased with drug money.

The Fourth District Appeals Court ruling overturns a Macon County judge who previously awarded the winnings to Tykisha Lofton, the Herald and Review reported.

Police found the lottery ticket while raiding a Decatur home where Lofton lived with her boyfriend, Terrance Norwood. Norwood told authorities that he had already turned the ticket in to claim the prize, worth more than $35,000 when paid as a lump sum.

Norwood told police the ticket was his way out of having to sell drugs. He was sentenced in October 2015 for drug dealing, drug possession and armed violence offenses.

Lofton was present during the raid but had told

police she wasn’t aware Norwood sold drugs.

Police say Lofton didn’t dispute that Norwood had purchased the ticket, although she scratched it off. Court documents say Lofton later told authorities she had bought the ticket with money she received from babysitting.

Authorities to get sex assault response training CHICAGO (AP) – A $750,000 federal grant will help Illinois follow through on a new state law requiring specialized sexual assault response training for all 911 operators, police officers and investigators.

The law going into effect in January makes Illinois one of the few states in the country to have that requirement.

The 3-year grant comes from the U.S. Department of Justice. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan announced the awarding of the grant on Wednesday.

Madigan said in a written statement the grant and the training it funds will encourage “more survivors to come forward.”

TWIN CITIES

Petition filing season approaches for spring election Rock Falls

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5570 @pam_eggemeier

While much attention is focused on the culmination of a presidential race next month, it’s time to get ready to run for local offices in next year’s election.

Paperwork is available at city clerks’ offices for anyone who plans to run for elective office in April 2017 in Sterling and Rock Falls.

The cities are on different filing schedules because they have different government structures.

Sterling has a city manager form, while Rock Falls has a city administrator.

In Rock Falls, mayor is among the races that will be on the ballot next spring. Incumbent Bill Wescott has picked up his paperwork.

Other expiring terms are for city clerk, treasurer, and one alderman in each of the city’s four wards.

Terms are coming to a close for George Logan Jr. in the 1st Ward, Brian Snow in the 2nd, and Jim Schuneman in the 3rd.

An empty 4th Ward seat also will be up next spring.

The mayor is still searching for a replacement for Troy Ebenezer, who resigned Sept. 20 because of a potential conflict of interest. Ebenezer is vice president of the Rock Falls

Elementary School District 13 Board of Education.

Rock Falls City Clerk Eric Arduini said paperwork is available, but prospective candidates have some time before it needs to be turned in.

“They could pick up the paperwork starting Sept.

20, and the filing period begins at 8 a.m. Dec. 12, and ends at 5 p.m. Dec. 19,” said Arduini, who also plans to run again.

Neither Treasurer Kay Abner nor Alderman Logan have picked up their filing papers.

Sterling In Sterling, the only seats that will be up in April are both at-large aldermen, Chris Schuchard and John

Stauter. Both have picked up filing papers to run again, as has former Morrison City Administrator Jim Wise.

Sterling has two at-large aldermen, and one each in four wards.

Sterling City Clerk Marie Rombouts said paperwork has been available there since Aug. 30. The city would have a primary only if a minimum of four candidates were running for each of the aldermanic seats. If the need for a primary isn’t triggered, the at-large candidates go on the ballot in the general election, and voters will be asked to choose two.

Sterling residents have some time before they vote for mayor again.

“The terms of Mayor

[Skip] Lee and the other four aldermen will be up in April 2019,” Rombouts said.

The filing period in Sterling begins at 8:30 a.m.

Nov. 21, and the deadline is 5 p.m. Nov. 28. Lotteries for ballot positioning are used when multiple candidates come in during the first or last hours of the filing period.

“It used to be that everyone wanted to be the first name on the ballot, but now some candidates think there is an advantage to being last, so we would have them in both situations,” Rombouts said.

The mayor and aldermen serve 4-year terms, and the at-large terms are staggered with the other council seats.

Filing periods Sterling Paperwork for the April 2017 election is now available at the city clerk’s office, 212 Third Ave. The filing period is from 8:30 a.m. Nov. 21 to 5 p.m. Nov. 28.

The city’s two at-large aldermanic seats will be on the ballot.

Rock Falls Paperwork can now be picked up at the city clerk’s office, 603 W. 10th St. The filing period is from 8 a.m.

Dec. 12 to 5 p.m. Dec. 19. Terms are expiring for mayor, and one aldermanic seat in each of the city’s four wards.

JACK MABLEY DEVELOPMENTAL CENTER | 30TH ANNIVERSARY

‘This facility is crucial,’ Mabley mom says Open house honors founders, recalls history

BY RACHEL RODGERS rrodgers@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5529 @rj_rodgers

DIXON – Walking through doors that have been threatened with closure more than once, dozens of people flooded the halls of the Jack Mabley Developmental Center on Thursday to commemorate its impact as a home to those who don’t have many places to turn.

“It’s not just a state facility, it’s a home,” said Regina Heise, daughter of Nicholas De Leonardis, one of the center’s founders.

The Mabley center, which celebrated its 30th anniversary with a ceremony and open house Thursday, provides a community for 105 residents with developmental and sensory disabilities, and often a mix of the two.

“This has really improved the

Accidental exposure to tear gas sickens kids on field trip MOUNT CARROLL – A group of junior high school students on a field trip Thursday were accidentally exposed to tear gas from a training exercise at the Thomson prison.

Emergency personnel were called about 2:41 p.m. to West Carroll Middle School at 633 S. East St. in Mount Carroll, after the students complained of eye, nose, and throat irritation.

Mount Carroll Police and Emergency Medical Services were told the students had been on a field trip north of the prison.

School officials determined the students were affected by the gas when shifting winds sent it in their direction.

Two students were taken to CGH Medical Center in Sterling, and 11 were taken to FHN Memorial Hospital in Freeport. An additional 13 students and staff, accompanied by emergency workers, were bused to FHN with

minor symptoms.

Fifteen parents signed releases for their children who required no medical attention, Mount Carroll Police said.

The prison had been using the CS gas for a staff training session, and before the winds changed course, officials had determined the students were a safe distance from the gas.

Police said additional information will be released at 9 a.m. today at the West Carroll School District Office at 642 S. East St. in Mount Carroll.

“This facility is crucial,” she said. “We have all tried community placement, and we have all failed.”

Her sons, Michael and Bob Metallo, have lived at Mabley for 18 and 13 years, respectively, and Achino said they are provided with everything they need.

“It’s a great place, and I thank God every day my boys are safe and happy,” she said.

The open house featured residents’ artwork on display and also a taped talent show from 2 weeks ago, when Bob Metallo sang “Hungry Eyes.”

Jack Mabley, a veteran Chicago journalist and founder of the Forgotten Children’s Fund, died in 2006 at age 90.

more than at any other of the state’s seven developmental centers, he said.

De Leonardis, who died in March, worked with former Gov. James R. Thompson to build the center after the Dixon Developmental Center was converted into Dixon Correctional Center.

The Chicago economist fought several attempts to close the facility, including 5 years ago when Mabley was on the state’s chopping block.

De Leonardis left a legacy of perseverance, compassion and humanity, Fenton said.

“He significantly raised the bar for the rest of us,” he said.

Heise said her father’s devotion to the facility was rooted in his love for her sister, Debbie, who lived at Mabley until her death in 2002.

Barbara Achino, president of the Mabley parents association, said she plans to continue De Leonardis’ work to keep the center’s doors open.

OBITUARIES Charles C. Harper ROCK FALLS – Charles C. Harper, 85, passed away peacefully on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2016, at his home in Rock Falls, surrounded by his family.

He was born Sept. 26, 1931, in Loudon Township, Fayette County, to Clifford Harper and Gertrude Bieber Harper. He was born in the same house where his mother and most of her siblings were born. Charles grew up on a farm near St. Elmo, until his parents moved to Stewardson, where he completed high school.

After high school, he attended Eastern Illinois University, where he met and married the love of his life, Doris Schmittler. He later attended the University of Illinois, receiving his master’s degree.

Charles was selected to participate at the Smith & Wesson Coaching Academy and the shooters coaching program at the Olympic Training Center. Charles married Doris on April 3, 1953, and they had celebrated more than 63 wonderful years together.

He was in the Army from 1953 to 1955. After the Army, Charles held various jobs, such as selling insurance and working for Charleston Chamber of Commerce.

He taught high school at his alma mater, Stewardson High School until 1969, when the family moved to Rock Falls, and he taught various science courses at Sauk Valley Community College.

Charles and Doris decided to become business owners, so they purchased property and created Rack and Range and then Dixie Cream Donuts.

After their retirement,

Charles and Doris enjoyed wintering in Texas.

Charles was a member of Sinnissippi Rod and Gun Club, where he enjoyed competitive target shooting and teaching gun safety courses.

HEALTH INSURANCE

Safety net catching some uninsured Land of Lincoln customers who missed deadline eligible for state coverage Tribune News Service

About one-third of the individual members of failed insurer Land of Lincoln did not buy new health coverage on the state’s Obamacare exchange as of last week’s deadline, according to the Illinois Department of Insurance.

But that might not mean they are uninsured.

Former members began receiving letters in the past few days – after last Friday’s deadline for securing uninterrupted Obamacare coverage through other companies – saying they could be entitled to coverage through a state entity.

It is the latest uncertainty for former Land of Lincoln members after the July announcement that the insurer would shut at the end of September due to financial struggles. Land of Lincoln had 49,000 members.

About 35 percent of Land of Lincoln’s individual members did not purchase new cov-

erage on the exchange by the deadline. Some might have bought plans from insurers off of the exchange or took coverage offered by a spouse’s employer. People who buy insurance off of the exchange aren’t eligible for federal subsidies to help offset the costs of their premiums.

Some might have opted to forgo insurance for the rest of the year, despite the Affordable Care Act’s requirement that all Americans have health insurance or pay a fine.

However, if they’re up to date on their Land of Lincoln premiums, mem-

bers who failed to buy insurance might still be covered by the Illinois Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association, a state-created association of insurance companies formed to protect against insurance company failures, the department said. To get the continued coverage, they must also pay their full October premium to Land of Lincoln

by Oct. 15, and not have purchased other health insurance.

That association’s coverage doesn’t pay more than $500,000 for the health expenses of any individual and has limit-

ed in-network providers, meaning bills for health care services likely will be higher. Also, those with the coverage are not eligible for federal subsidies to offset the cost of premiums.

Department of Insurance spokesman Michael Batkins said in an email that the department disclosed before the deadline that the guaranty association could cover Land of Lincoln members for the rest of the year if they didn’t buy other coverage. But that wasn’t clear to many until after the letters started arriving this week.

Humility was a hallmark of Wymbs’ life LEGACY

CONTINUED FROM A1

He and his wife, Harriet, created the Ronald Reagan Boyhood Home and Visitors Center at the behest of the president, who phoned them shortly after taking office in 1981 to say his childhood residence might be bulldozed.

The Wymbses flew to Dixon, bought the Harriet Wymbs house – plus three surrounding houses – then started the Boyhood Home Foundation.

As part of their connection to the home, the Wymbses became involved in renovating Reagan’s former sixth-grade classroom in the old South Central School building, which they bought for $500 and proceeded to restore as a museum.

That project became his passion – a tribute to Reagan, to Harriet, a Moline native whose family was among the first settlers in northwest Illinois, and to the area’s rich Indian and pioneer history. As the boyhood home became more established and created its own revenue stream, the Wymbses eventually withdrew their financial support and threw all their effort into the new museum.

The building, built in 1908, opened as the Dixon Historical Center, and in January 2013, after $3 million in renovations and technology upgrades, became the Northwest Territory Historic Center, now affiliated with the Smithsonian Institution.

The two sites top the list of the city’s tourist attractions.

In fact, the Norm E. and Harriet S. Wymbs Foundation is the center’s sole source of funding. Over the past 3 decades, it has poured about $25 million into the facility, manager Dave Latta said Monday.

“They have done wonderful things for this town ... and there are a lot of people who don’t realize that,” Latta said. “I never thought he got the recognition he should.”

Admission is free because of their largesse.

What will happen to the center’s funding isn’t yet known, Latta said, adding, “We’ll be fine for a while.”

Wymbs’ interest in the center and its operations never faded: He last visited the center in June, when he spent about 3 weeks in town.

Wymbs made his fortune in grocery distribution in the Chicago area, where he was born, and through investments and insurance in Florida, while Harriet inherited her family fortune.

Before he was an investor and philanthropist, though, Wymbs was a political columnist in Boca Raton, Florida. He and Harriet met Reagan almost by accident in early 1975, when the former actor and governor of California was traveling the country as a spokesman for General Electric Co. He needed a ride to the plane he was flying on to get to

Private burial

Norman Elwood Wymbs is survived by his daughter, Ellen Crouse, of Folsom, California; and his grandson, Bradley Wymbs, and granddaughter, Alexis Wymbs, both of Aldie, Virginia.

Private burial is planned in Boca Raton, Florida, where Babione-Kraeer Funeral Home and Cremation Center (www. dignitymemorial.com) is handling arrangements.

The area is being hit by a hurricane, and his complete obituary was not posted as of Thursday. his next destination, which the Wymbses provided in exchange for an interview with Norm.

They were so impressed that they became financially and personally involved in Reagan’s political career, which led to Norm’s appointment to the federal Council on the Aging, for which he served from 1989 to 1992.

Their friendship with the Reagans deepened over the years, and in March 1996, Wymbs wrote “Ronald Reagan’s Crusade: From Boyhood to the Presidency,” an authorized biography of Dutch’s childhood in Dixon.

Among his other accomplishments, Wymbs was a fighter pilot in WWII, flying 83 combat missions in Europe, and was mayor of Boca Raton for 7 months in 1971.

Harriet died in 2009 at age 90; they had been married 64 years and, by all accounts, were inseparable.

The couple gave with such humility that many in Dixon never have heard their names.

“Norm doesn’t like to be patted on the back,” the late Bill Jones, former historic center manager, said at the time of Harriet’s death. “Rather than building themselves a mansion in the mountains, they wanted to build something that would be lasting in this

DIXON HOMECOMING: SOPHS PULL ONE OVER ON JUNIORS

ABOVE: The ever-popular Pack the Car event at Dixon High School’s annual homecoming pep rally had to be reworked Thursday after the festivities moved indoors. Instead of cramming themselves into a car, students competed to see how many of them could pile onto a plank of wood. The senior class took the title after the sophomore class was disqualified.

BELOW: Dixon High School seniors Caroline Costello and Darius McGlown compete in a peanut butter licking contest during the high school’s homecoming pep rally Thursday afternoon. Students paired off in the peanut butter competition to see who could lick whom to win the game and get the bread spread off of a piece of Plexiglass.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

WASHINGTON SCOOP

Bill Clinton races to Donald Trump’s rescue Ex-president inexplicably slams Obama’s health care act

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

SVM EDITORIAL BOARD ROUNDTABLE

N

ote to readers: The Sauk Valley Media Editorial Board presents our weekly SVM Editorial Board Roundtable.

Several members of the Editorial Board offer their responses to a question of the week.

Some questions will be of a serious nature, and some won’t be.

Members might agree on an issue one week, but not the next week.

Regardless, we certainly encourage public feedback.

Question of the week: Some area police departments have considered getting “comfort dogs,” and Rock Falls actually acquired one, a mild-mannered pooch named Lacey. Do you think this is a good idea?

A

n appropriately trained dog like Rock Falls Police Department’s Lacey is going to be an excellent way for the department to interact with the community it serves and protects, as well as help to provide comfort in stressful or traumatic situations like no teddy bear could.

Comfort dogs should be encouraged for not only other police departments, but for any group that cares for the well-being of others.

I know several who do this already: my friend

Kelly’s doggies, Lucky and Gracie, provide comfort to Unity Hospice residents through Paws for Patients, and my neighbor Diane’s doggie, Sobachka, serves KSB patients through Pet & Wellness Service (PAWS).

Dogs seem to have a never-ending supply of love and comfort to give, and roles like these put those gifts to use. Like Lacey, Lucky, Gracie and Sobachka, please make sure comfort dogs go through appropriate training with organizations such as Happy Tails first.

I

Jim Dunn editorial page editor

certainly have no objection to police departments having comfort dogs. Lacey, the Rock Falls Police Department’s comfort dog, doesn’t cost the department a thing, thanks to Happy Tails Humane Society, so taxpayers aren’t footing the bill. And from what Police Chief Tammy Nelson said in SVM’s story last week, Lacey is already helping people who are experiencing emotional distress to feel better.

Dogs aren’t called man’s best friend for nothing. They’re good icebreakers. You might not strike up a conversation with a

Y

ou all know it: that romanticized, midcentury stereotype of the gruff but kindly cop, walking the neighborhood beat, shaking a finger at mischievous kids and helping little old ladies cross the street.

That image is fading fast, replaced by a much scarier stereotype wedging itself into our collective psyche.

Like most stereotypes, though, it’s just a lazy mental shorthand, short on truth but, once lodged, hard to shake.

Peter Shaw corporate strategy coordinator

stranger who is alone, but if that person has a dog, it’s much easier to approach the person, inquire about his or her dog, and have a friendly talk.

It’s not so easy to do that with a police officer who has a trained K-9 police dog, whose responsibilities include protecting their handlers, sniffing out drugs and tracking suspects. But a comfort dog has a whole different role.

Good luck to Lacey, her friends at the Rock Falls Police Department, and any other police agency that decides to adopt a comfort dog.

So who can blame police, the vast majority of whom do not fit that scary stereotype, for looking for better ways to connect with the people they police? And what better way to develop a more warm and fuzzy aspect than with a warm, fuzzy ambassador?

Somehow, dogs remind us of our shared humanity. And children will tell dogs things they never will tell an adult.

Rock Falls police have their Lacey. Sterling police need a Cagney.

abuse of power by not electing Democrats in our downstate districts who give Madigan his power. I do not understand why any voter living outside of Chicago would vote for a representative who will allow Madigan to continue destroying our state.

Caught in the undertow of the reality TV loop that is campaign 2016, America’s voters discovered this week we must now hold one more truth to be selfevident: If Bill Clinton didn’t exist, Donald Trump would have had to invent him.

We watched for days (see also: daze) the stunning spectacle of the Republican presidential nominee digging himself deeper into an apparently bottomless hole of contemptible conduct toward women – this time featuring his fixation for publicly scorning and bullying women he thinks weigh too much.

He had begun his compulsive digging during the presidential debate, when Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton baited him by recalling his crude weight-gain insults of a former Miss Universe.

Trump only wanted to know how Hillary found out about it. Then, for days, he kept repeating his insults.

Maybe he felt it was better than his other big bad news: how Trump, who is the only major party candidate in the modern era not to make public his tax returns, apparently used legal loopholes to avoid paying any income taxes for years.

But on Monday, Trump was rescued from the unrelenting glare of the media spotlight. Most bizarrely, his rescuer was none other than his opponent’s famous husband.

Bill Clinton rescued Trump from the spotlight by jumping into it himself.

Then he uttered one of the most politically wacko sound bites you ever heard. At a rally in Flint, Michigan, the city plagued by a toxic water crisis, Clinton seemed to trash President Barack Obama’s proudest legacy trophy: the Affordable Care Act, which voters know better as Obamacare.

“SO YOU’VE GOT THIS crazy system where all of a sudden 25 million more people have health care, and then the people who are out there busting it, sometimes 60 hours a week, wind up with their premiums doubled and their coverage cut in half,” Bill Clinton said. “It’s the craziest thing in the world.”

No Republican in campaign 2016 ever sounded more convincing in attacking Obamacare, or in voting dozens of times to repeal it without ever trying to fix it.

Bill Clinton stuck it to Obamacare just a day before first lady Michelle Obama was at North Carolina State University, vig-

“The fundamental job of journalists is to give you as much information as possible to make sense of the world around you.”

orously urging millennials to end their antipathy toward Hillary and elect her – because she is their only real hope for the future.

Here’s where our tale gets downright psychoanalytical: Last Friday, President Obama flew to the funeral of Israel’s legendary Shimon Peres – and brought Bill Clinton with him. But when Obama boarded Air Force One for the flight home, Bill Clinton kept Obama waiting onboard while he gabbed and gladhanded on the tarmac.

“Bill! Let’s go!” an impatient Obama hollered down from the doorway of Air Force One, not once, not twice, but three times.

Finally, Clinton doubletimed it up the stairs.

If Obama had known what his guest would be saying in Flint on Monday, he might have ordered a quick wheels-up while Bill was still working the tarmac.

EPILOGUE: Bill Clinton’s full Obamacare message is worth our serious consideration.

He told the Flint folks Obamacare works well for seniors on Medicare and also the poor who get Medicaid and persons with lower incomes who receive ACA subsidies.

But low-bracket earners whose incomes are just above subsidy limits and small-business owners are “getting killed in this [ACA] deal.” Clinton suggested converting ACA into a plan allowing everyone to purchase Medicare or Medicaid insurance.

I just felt a twinge while writing that last sentence – because throughout the Obamacare battles, that’s just what my best friend for half a century, Michael Bromberg, Washington’s legendary health care lobbyist who died just weeks ago, always suggested to me was the one singlepayer reform that could work – because it’s the simplest.

In the 1990s, Mike led the industry’s battle that defeated the Clinton White House’s health care reform, led by Hillary.

He had met with Hillary and urged her to accept a reform that would be less than she wanted but a real reform nonetheless.

She refused, insisting the White House would ram its plan through Congress – which never happened, of course.

I would really like to see the look on Mike’s face the moment he heard Bill Clinton say those familiar words. Just for laughs.

Temper tantrum puts end to friendship Dear Abby, I am having to part ways with someone I have known for 15 years. This person has done many good things for me. On the other hand, he has also thrown more insults at me than anyone else in my lifetime. At the snap of a finger, this normally good-hearted person has insulted me, insisted I was wrong (when I wasn’t) or dumped cold water on something I was enthusiastic about.

A week ago, I approached him calmly and told him I was uncomfortable with his put-downs. Well, he threw an over-the-top temper tantrum the likes of which

convinced this person will never change and I cannot understand the pettiness he reverts to.

Can you comment?

– Breaking Away in Miami

dearABBY Abigail Van Buren’s (Jeanne Phillips) column appears during the week through Universal Press Syndicate.

I have never seen, accused me of being “weak-kneed” and stomped away. I have finally had it.

I mentioned it to a friend who is a psychologist and he said this person has all the character traits of a raging narcissist. I’m now

Dear Breaking Away, If you feel it is better for you to distance yourself from this “friend,” then that’s what you should do. He might be a jackass; however, it is unwise to label someone who hasn’t been formally diagnosed as having a personality disorder.

Dear Abby, A year ago, we had a house fire. While insurance put us up in hous-

ing, it took a while to find a place. That first month I didn’t know if I was coming or going. Dealing with insurance, contractors, family and a job was almost more than I could handle. The last thing I needed to hear was, “What’s for dinner?”

If I have one piece of advice to offer to people who want to help friends, it would be, “Give them gift cards from local restaurants.” I know how much I hated to speak up and say I needed help, so don’t ask, just do if you see something needs to be done.

This idea also works well in lieu of flowers or home-cooked meals

when someone dies. We gave a friend several gift cards for area restaurants when her husband died. When out-of-town company came in for the funeral, she said they came in handy for her.

– Hopefully Helpful Dear Hopefully Helpful, People are often at a loss about how to help during a crisis, and this isn’t something that usually comes to mind. Your suggestion is a good one.

Thank you for writing.

Dear Abby, Is there a proper way for a man to introduce himself to an attractive woman in a public place

like a store or a museum?

– Dan in San Francisco Dear Dan, It’s not difficult. If you’re in a store, ask for her advice about a product. If you’re in a museum, strike up a conversation about an artist or a painting, sculpture, etc. Then introduce yourself and keep talking. If she’s receptive, she’ll give you her name.

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

Jay Z, calling juvenile solitary ‘inhumane,’ backs new series NEW YORK (AP) – Rap superstar Jay Z is helping shine a light on prison reform by co-producing an upcoming TV documentary about a young man who spent 3 years behind bars without a trial for allegedly stealing a backpack.

The rapper teamed up with Harvey Weinstein to produce the six-part “TIME: The Kalief Browder Story,” which airs in January on Spike TV. It uses first-person accounts, prison footage and cinematic

re-creations to explore what Jay Z called a system that’s “broken.”

Browder was 16 when he was arrested on suspicion of stealing a backpack and sent to the Rikers Island facility in New York for 3 years. Browder was kept in solitary confinement for 800 days and, according to his lawyer, beaten by inmates and guards. He was never tried and was released in 2013.

He killed himself last year at age 22.

Jay Z, attending a press

conference Thursday with Browder’s mother, the filmmakers and Weinstein, said he hoped Browder’s story “inspires others and saves other lives.”

“I think it’s very clear that solitary confinement for a 16-year-old is wrong to every single person in here,” he said. “It’s inhumane.”

In an op-ed written for The Washington Post, President Barack Obama cited Browder’s “heartbreaking” case to argue for a ban on the use of solitary

confinement for juvenile and low-level offenders in federal prisons.

The Spike series comes at a time when America’s prisons are under scrutiny. The harsh prison sentences in the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 have been debated in the presidential campaign, and a new documentary

by Ava DuVernay, “The 13th,” delves into mass incarceration and its deep, historical roots in America.

Jay Z would not be drawn

into picking a side in the current presidential race on the topic of prison reform, saying “it’s not a political issue. It’s a human issue.

It’s a story of compassion and empathy.” (He did indicate some skepticism at the use of police body cameras, saying “having a camera on someone creates more distrust.”)

Jay Z said he came across Browder’s story in an article in the New Yorker magazine and reached out to the young man, eventually meeting him.

“I just wanted to give him words of encouragement,” Jay Z said. He wanted to tell him “I’m proud of him for making it through.”

The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, later brought the Browder project to Weinstein, who said he wasn’t familiar with the case. “I’m going to be honest. I didn’t even know who Kalief was until Shawn showed us footage and talked to us about the project,” Weinstein said.

“Now I want to make sure everybody knows.”

orks of fiction are sometimes disparaged by those with a practical bias as being useless, or at best, a harmless diversion. They would rather read non-fiction, presumably because it gives them knowledge which they can actually use.

But fiction often teaches us valuable lessons about how to live life, how to handle adversity, and what it is to be human in difficult circumstances. Furthermore, we are sometimes struck by the realization that we might bend circumstances and events to our will, and in effect become the heroes of our own life.

That is a valuable lesson, and one which can be learned from reading fiction, but also from reading biographies, autobiographies, and the narratives of the Bible. Becoming a hero usually starts, as it does in fiction, with conflict or adversity. From there, one must be inspired to resolve the conflict or deal with the adversity. And before the inspiration fades, one usually has to create a workable plan. In the same way that an author must plan her work, thinking over and trying out different plots and plans for character development, we should plan our own lives, perhaps imagining different paths toward achieving something great, something worth writing about. And just as an author has to develop her characters, so too do we have to develop our own moral character.

15 minutes of fame is still surreal ADELE

CONTINUED FROM A1

“She said, ‘Bring me that baby.’ That’s what she said.”

After hugs and kisses were exchanged – “I forgot she was European, and I only gave her the one kiss. I should have kissed her on both sides,” Carroll said – Jackson snatched the microphone and, unfazed by the moment, said, “Hi.” “The place kind of went crazy,” Carroll said.

The couple’s grown accustomed to breezing past celebrities on the city’s sidewalks, at the subway and the like.

“I never get star-struck, but this was different,” Carroll said. “I’d like to say I wasn’t star-struck, but I couldn’t get off that stage fast enough.”

But first, a selfie. A testament to Carroll’s state of mind, he couldn’t manage to unlock his iPhone, so they used Huston’s.

Carroll did have the presence of mind to tell Huston to send him the picture immediately. He posted it on Facebook, but wasn’t going to put it on Twitter – “I figured, ‘I never use Twitter,” – until he turned on the app and saw messages, and lots of them, including an interview request with a top-40 radio station the following morning.

New York has a way of making the extraordinary feel more ordinary, so Carroll was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love to his (@grover5678) and

Submitted

Steve Carroll said this photo, taken from a distance at Adele’s concert, will be the family’s Christmas card. “... I’m sending her one,” he said. “I feel like I could invite her to Christmas, she was that nice, that down-to-earth and lovely.”

Huston’s (@Jon_Huston) Twitter accounts.

He expected to hear from folks back home, like his dad, Norm Carroll, and sister, Shelli Wolf. But for a Huffington Post Canada video posted yesterday to get a half-million views in less than 24 hours was a little shocking.

Besides, Adele’s warmth is part of their daily life.

When Jackson gets fussy in the car, they put on “Hello.” Her albums, actual albums – “We’re a vinyl family,” Carroll said – are part of his bedtime routine.

Still basking in the afterglow, Huston has returned to the daily

grind of running their doggy day care in the city, Paws and Relax, and tonight, Carroll will be back on second shift as a critical care nurse. He’s originally from Polo and worked as a paramedic at CGH Medical Center while Huston taught seventh-grade math at Challand Middle School in Sterling.

While everyday life has resumed, Tuesday night is “still very surreal,” Carroll said. So surreal he said he remembers little of the show after getting off the stage. Similarly, Jackson fought to stay awake for the whole show, but zonked out a

couple of tunes before its close.

So, soon enough, it’ll be back to shopping for tickets, so the whole family can see Adele again.

“I need to go back and see the concert again when my blood pressure and pulse are normal,” Carroll said. “We’ve been scouring the Internet for different pictures from different angles. There’s one from a distance away, and that picture is going to be our Christmas card, and I’m sending her one. I feel like I could invite her to Christmas, she was that nice, that down-to-earth and lovely.”

DIXON HIGH SCHOOL

September Student of the Month: Katlyn Bay K atlyn Bay, 17, is Dixon High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s September Student of the Month. Her parents are John and Debbie Bay, and she has two sisters: Samantha, 22, of Normal, and Allison, 15.

Favorite class: Aside from any class regarding music, math has to be my favorite, unlike English and science, where answers are opinionated and ever-changing.

Least-favorite class: No class is necessarily my least favorite, but Spanish is one that needs a lot of looking over. It can sometimes be frustrating learning a new language because it does not always click.

You want to be fluent but have to be realistic and understand that it takes years of practice before perfecting another language.

Favorite teacher: Frank Cahill, medical biology and chemistry, now retired. Mr. Cahill is a wonderful teacher because he always has a great attitude toward the day. I was always greeted with a warm smile and never felt ashamed to ask questions or make mistakes. Now that he is retired, I certainly miss his greeting of students as we walked through the halls and, of course, his festive bow ties and apparel.

School activities in which you participate: Bowling, dance team, Key Club, choir, band, madrigals and musicals Do you have a job?

I am a cashier at Ace Hardware.

How would you describe your group of friends? It may sound clichĂŠ, but we are a very well-rounded group. We share many classes but do a variety of activities, from soccer to bowling.

What will you do after

What is your favorite ...

App? Instagram Food? Tater tot casserole Movie? There are so many that I love to watch that I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even choose three.

TV show? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blacklistâ&#x20AC;?

Sports team? Chicago Bears

high school? I plan to major in speech-language pathology with my top two choices of University of WisconsinMadison or University of Iowa.

What is something you learned in high school that you think you will never use? Although I love math, with the degree I plan to earn, I do not see myself having to know much in regards to geometry or calculus.

What kind of music are you listening to? My taste in music seems a lot different than that of my peers. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t listen to rap or hip hop, instead I sing along with Broadway musicals, Dolly Parton, Kenny Rogers, The Carpenters, Journey, Boston, and so many more. My go-to radio station is 107.7 FM, but I also listen to 97.5 FM and 101.7 FM. There really is no rhyme or reason to my taste in music, as it is just a random assortment of songs starting from the 1940s up until 2016.

If you could change one thing about your school, what would it be and why? I would most definitely install air conditioning throughout the entire school, or at least give each class a dehumidifier. Most of the time it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the heat that is bothersome, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the humidity in the air.

Both of those factors combined can make for a long day.

Katlyn Bay, 17, is Dixon High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s September Student of the Month.

She plans a career in speechlanguage pathology.

ROCK FALLS – The 3-1 start has given way to a twogame losing streak for the Rock Falls Rockets.

After wins over Rockford Christian, Mendota, and Oregon put the Rockets in the upper reaches of the Big Northern Conference standings, losses to Byron and Winnebago brought Rock Falls back to .500.

Senior lineman Collin Olson sees ways the Rockets can pull out of that slide.

“This week, we’ve gone back to the basics,” Olson said. “We’ve gone back to that Week 1 and 2 where we were just having fun, going out there and getting after it.”

“We’ve definitely been a lot more nasty and just more aggressive this week,” Olson said. “We know what we’ve got to do, we know we’re in a corner, and we know we’ve got to get a win.”

To get back above .500, the Rockets first have to get past Stillman Valley, a team which comes in 1-5 with a five-game losing streak.

Warriors work as one Pep talk brings out best in Sterling vs. L-P

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5552 @CodyCutter35

STERLING – Brian Cebula had seen enough.

Leading the LaSallePeru Cavaliers by a goal after just over 20 minutes of play, the Sterling coach was tired of his players trying to go one-on-many.

The leash was yanked, and the starters were pulled out – and the time on the sideline was enough to motivate the Golden Warriors into a lesson on teamwork in a 9-1 win at Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com Roscoe Eades Stadium.

Sterling’s Tony Diaz fires a shot on goal during the Golden Warriors’ 9-1 win over “They were playing very LaSalle-Peru on Thursday evening at Roscoe Eades Stadium. Diaz scored four individual,” Cebula said, goals, and Miguel Gallardo added his first career hat trick in the victory. “trying to score goals on

“Moving forward, we can’t have these types of lapses as we get toward the playoffs and toward the end of

Miguel Gallardo scored a pair of quick goals for the Golden Warriors (133, 6-0 NIB-12 West) in a span of 1 minute, 4 seconds during the 12th and 13th minutes. The Cavaliers (1-13-1, 0-6) put more defenders deep after that, and Cebula felt the individualism wasn’t going to do the job.

“Everyone was trying to play their own game,” Gallardo said. “Everyone was trying to be an individual and trying to take it to the goal. [Cebula] took us out to talk to us about being one team.”

Matthew postspones LSU-Florida game No. 18 Florida’s home game against LSU has been postponed because of looming and powerful Hurricane Matthew, which already has been blamed for more than 100 deaths and is threatening the southeastern U.S. coast.

The game was to be played Saturday. The teams were unable to agree on any alternative arrangements to play the game elsewhere this weekend.

NBA | DWYANE WADE

On the calendar

Cavs never a real option

Local events

Wade had no intention of creating a new Big Three

BY IRA WINDERMAN South Florida Sun Sentinel

• Region IV Tournament, at Oglesby Women’s tennis TBA

For all the speculation of Dwyane Wade reuniting with LeBron James this past July, or perhaps even sometime going forward now that he is with the Chicago Bulls, the former Miami Heat guard has offered clarity about never having such an intention.

In the days after it became clear that Wade and the Heat were on the verge of a parting in July, the Cleveland Cavaliers had been speculated as a potential landing spot, with James yet to cut into Cleveland’s salarycap space with his since-signed new contract.

However, in an interview with Slam Magazine released this week, Wade said he never had such intentions of recreating a super-team alignment alongside James with the Cavaliers.

“For me,” Wade told Slam, “it’s as simple as: I got a deal in Miami for $41 million; I got a deal in Chicago for $47 million. It didn’t come down to the money. I thought about Cleveland, but I didn’t fit there.”

Amid his negotiations with the Heat, Wade offered strong indications that it very much was about the financial aspects, with the Heat unwilling to offer a third year in their proposal or a significant raise from the $20 million the 34-year-old AllStar guard earned on his 1-year contract with the team this past season.

Wade eventually elected to return to his hometown, accepting a 2-year deal from Chicago that will pay $23.2 million this season, with a player option for $23.8 million in 2017-18.

It was Wade in 2010 who helped the Heat lure James from the Cavaliers and Chris Bosh from the Toronto Raptors in free agency to form a team that went

Dwyane Wade (center) ultimately picked Chicago over Miami in free agency this summer. He said he thought about reuniting with LeBron James in Cleveland, but it didn’t seem like the right fit. to four consecutive NBA Finals, winning championships in 2012 and ’13. James then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 free agency after the Heat lost in the Finals that year to the San Antonio Spurs. Bosh now also is away from the Heat, although still under contract, after blood clots sidelined him for the second half of each of the past two seasons.

Wade said recreating what he had with the Big Three in Miami was not part of his intentions this offseason.

“You don’t just do something because, ‘Oh, I could win the ring there,’” he told Slam. “I have three rings [with the Heat in 2006, ’12 and ’13]. I don’t need to chase the ring.”

Because he signed this offseason, Wade is ineligible to be traded by the Bulls until Dec. 15,

a date that some have speculated could yet lead to a reunion with James. As it is, the Cavaliers added wing depth this offseason with the acquisition of forward Mike Dunleavy Jr. from Chicago in the move that opened the Bulls’ cap space to sign Wade.

The Cavaliers this offseason also re-signed James Jones, Richard Jefferson and Dahntay Jones, although Mo Williams has retired and J.R. Smith remains an unsigned free agent.

Wade has continually stressed the significance in returning to Chicago and being able to make a community impact.

“This is what I wanted to do,” he told Slam. “I couldn’t fight it. If you fight it, you’re gonna always be like, ‘You shoulda, or, what could’ve?’ I don’t like to live my life like that.”

Ohio State’s Mike Weber has established himself as one of the nation’s top first-year players, and a worthy successor to Ezekiel Elliott. Michigan’s Rashan Gary has lived up to his billing as the country’s No. 1 overall recruit.

Out of that spotlight, other young players have begun to emerge across the Big Ten. Here’s a look at the best true or redshirt freshmen around the league: Illinois: Guard Darta Lee, a two-star recruit out of Texas, became the first true freshman to start a season opener on the Illini’s offensive line in at least 20 years. He was back in the starting lineup last week at Nebraska, and has held onto the job for this week’s game against Purdue.

Iowa: Defensive end Anthony Nelson, a redshirt freshman who flipped his commitment from Iowa State to Iowa a month before signing day in 2015, opened the season with a monster performance against Miami (Ohio), forcing two fumbles that led to touchdowns and recording 2.5 sacks.

He had a season-high six tackles in the win at Rutgers.

Maryland: Running back Lorenzo Harrison is the first Terrapins

AP

Ohio State running back Mike Weber (right) is averaging 123.8 rushing yards a game, tops among freshman running backs. freshman to score a touchdown in each of his first four games, including a 62-yarder against Purdue last week.

Michigan: Gary is meeting the high expectations that greeted him in Ann Arbor, having made 4.5 tackles for loss and a sack with four quarterback hurries on one of the nation’s best defensive lines. This is a big week for him: The New Jersey native plays at home-state Rutgers in Michigan’s first road game.

Michigan State: Donnie Corley had a magnificent four-catch,

88-yard game against Notre Dame that featured a one-handed touchdown grab. He’s become one of Tyler O’Connor’s top targets.

Minnesota: Defensive end Tai’yon Devers had a big debut, with two sacks and two forced fumbles leading to touchdowns against Oregon State, and he has three of the Gophers’ nine sacks.

Nebraska: Caleb Lightbourn has carried the burden of replacing punter Sam Foltz, who was killed in a car crash in July. Lightbourn, who planned to redshirt this season, is averaging 39.3 yards

on 17 punts, and has put five kicks inside the 20-yard line.

Northwestern: Cornerback Trae Williams, who entered the starting lineup three games ago, made his first interception on Iowa’s final drive to secure the win in Iowa City last week. He also had seven tackles and two breakups in the win over Duke.

Ohio State: Weber is determined to create his own identity as the man who follows Elliott, now the NFL’s rushing leader for the Dallas Cowboys.

Weber’s average of 123.8 yards a game is tops among freshman rushers, and his 7.3 yards a carry ranks third among players with at least 65 attempts.

Penn State: Cam Brown’s play has been a bright spot for a linebacker corps riddled with injuries. The true freshman followed a 10-tackle game against Michigan with nine more last week in his first career start against Minnesota.

Purdue: Linebacker Markus Bailey has 21 tackles, with nine coming against Cincinnati.

Rutgers: Jawaun Harris has started the last three games at receiver, and will see his role grow in the absence of injured star Janarion Grant.

Journeyman now a legitimate title contender

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CONCORD, N.C. – Martin Truex Jr. spent almost a decade trying to climb his way into NASCAR’s top tier. He didn’t win races, never led many laps, wasn’t considered an elite driver capable of winning championships.

Then, suddenly, it clicked.

Truex has transformed over the last two seasons from a journeyman driver into a legitimate title contender. Some might even say he’s the favorite to win this year’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

He won two races in the first round of the playoffs, and goes into the opening race of the second round Saturday night in search of another dominating performance at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Truex led all but eight of the 400 laps in the CocaCola 600 to score his first win of what’s turned into a dream season.

Asked Thursday about those lean years – he drove for Dale Earnhardt Inc. as it was on the verge of collapse, Chip Ganassi Racing when the team was struggling, Michael Waltrip Racing during an embarrassing cheating scandal that contributed to its closure – Truex noted the differences.

“It’s almost like, ‘OK, finally, we’re here,’” he said. “Now, how do we make sure we can keep it going? You understand how easy it is to be on the other side of it and how hard you worked to get here.”

For Truex, the MWR debacle has been the best thing to happen to his career.

When the team was accused of a sequence of shady events that put Truex into the 2013 Chase, the team was severely sanctioned and

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kevin Harvick has found himself against the ropes in NASCAR’s playoffs in each of the last 2 years. Tired of having to fight his way into the championship race, he is determined to leave nothing to chance.

A win 2 weeks ago at New Hampshire earned him an automatic berth in the second round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

He’d like a win Saturday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway to push him right into the third round.

For this three-race segment, the 2014 NASCAR champion has eyed Charlotte as a track that gives him a good shot at a victory. The round also goes to Kansas next week before concluding at Talladega Superspeedway.

“Charlotte is probably the one I’m looking forward to the most,” Harvick said. “We’ve had so much success there. We’ve run well there, really, every time we’ve been there with our Stewart-Haas Racing cars.”

Harvick has three career victories at Char-

Martin Truex Jr. has become one of the most consistent drivers over the last two seasons, and because of so many strong finishes, he is a favorite to win this year’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. he was kicked out of the championship field. He was an unwitting victim of the scandal, but it prompted his sponsor to leave MWR and the ultimate closing of Truex’s team. Two years later, MWR was out of business.

Truex landed in 2014 at single-car team Furniture Row Motorsports, a job that could have been seen as a step back. MWR was a multicar team with a Toyota partnership, while Furniture Row was a middle-of-the-pack Chevrolet team located in Denver, far from the hub of NASCAR talent in North Carolina.

The fit has been amazing, though, and Truex not only made the Chase last season, he advanced all the way to the championship race.

This year, Furniture Row switched to Toyota and aligned with Joe Gibbs Racing. Despite the distance from JGR, his role as a partner and not a true Gibbs teammate, and the transition

itself, Truex has been among the most consistent drivers all season.

He has career-bests in victories – his four wins include the crown jewel Coca-Cola 600 and Southern 500 races – and laps led. His two wins in the opening round of the Chase set the pace and have made winning the title a realistic possibility.

“Your focus is just, ‘What can I do to continue this roll, continue this momentum?’” he said. “I think a lot of it obviously is being part of a great team. Everybody knows in this sport it is a team sport, and I’m just honestly thankful I’m getting to show my talent, my capabilities behind the wheel, and focus on continuing this roll that we’re on.

“I don’t take it for granted. I know that in 2 weeks it could be gone,” he said. “You just never know in this sport, so I’m just really living in the moment and enjoying myself.”

The success has paid

dividends for the Barney Visser-owned team.

He for years paid for the team out of his own pocket with his Furniture Row chain as the sponsor, but Truex has helped attract outside funding, and collision and repair company Maaco on Thursday signed on as an associate sponsor.

Furniture Row will also expand next year to two cars and bring in Erik Jones, a JGR development driver.

It’s rewarding to see the rapid changes for Visser and team general manager Joe Garone.

“Barney and Joe have worked 11 years in this sport with Furniture Row only on the car, and to be bringing in new partners is such a big deal for us and for Barney,” Truex said. “If we continue to do this, we can continue to be around for a long time, be competitive and do the things we want to do and hopefully we’re bringing a lot of value back to our partners.”

during the daylight this weekend, he’s not sure what to expect.

“Charlotte is a really finicky racetrack and, with the way we practice, most of the practice will be done during the day with the race being at night,” he said.

Indians go deep on BoSox

MLB WILD CARD Tuesday’s result Toronto 5, Baltimore 2, 11 innings Wednesday’s result San Francisco 3, N.Y. Mets 0

Blue Jays roll past Rangers thanks to 5 runs in 5th By the Associated Press

Francisco Lindor’s homer capped Cleveland’s three-homer rampage in a nine-pitch span in the third inning against 22-game winner Rick Porcello, and the Indians held on for a 5-4 win over the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night in their AL Division Series opener.

Lindor, Jason Kipnis and Robert Perez went deep in the third off Porcello, who lasted 4 1/3 innings in his shortest outing this year.

Andrew Miller, acquired

by Cleveland in a July trade, pitched two scoreless innings for the win.

Summoned by manager Terry Francona earlier than usual, the lefty struck out David Ortiz with two on to end the fifth, and threw a seasonhigh 40 pitches.

Bryan Shaw gave up a leadoff homer to Boston’s Brock Holt in the eighth that made it 5-4 before Cody Allen struck out Xander Bogaerts with the potential tying run at third to end the inning.

Boston put a runner on with two outs in the ninth, but Allen fanned Dustin Pedroia on a fullcount check swing, his 40th pitch, for the save.

Pedroia was livid, and Red Sox manager John Farrell went onto the field to question plate umpire Brian Knight.

Rookie Andrew Benintendi and Sandy Leon also homered for the Red Sox, who will start David Price in Game 2 in the shadows Friday afternoon against Cleveland ace Corey Kluber.

the playoffs against Texas.

This time, Bautista dropped his bat softly near home plate and rounded the bases after a 425-foot, three-run blast in the ninth inning of the Blue Jays’ romp Thursday in Game 1 of the AL Division Series.

Bautista had an emphatic bat flip after his tiebreaking homer in the ALDS Game 5 clincher last October against the Rangers, and got punched the last time the Blue Jays played in Texas in May. He drove in four

runs this time, including an RBI single in Toronto’s five-run third off All-Star lefty Cole Hamels.

Marco Estrada took a shutout into the ninth inning. The AllStar right-hander with an impressive changeup, who won Game 3 in last year’s ALDS after Toronto lost the first two at home, struck out six without a walk.

Estrada has never pitched a complete game in the majors, and the Blue Jays didn’t throw one this season. No mat-

ter, Estrada gave them all they needed to start this best-of-five series.

The last of the Rangers’ four hits off Estrada was Elvis Andrus’ leadoff triple in the ninth. Gibbons removed the right-hander after Shin-Soo Choo’s RBI grounder ended the shutout bid.

Troy Tulowitzki hit a bases-loaded triple for the Blue Jays. Toronto has won four straight overall, including an 11-inning, 5-2 victory over Baltimore in the AL wild-card game Tuesday night.

NFL | CARDINALS 33, 49ERS 21

Cards capitalize on 49er mistakes Arizona turns San Francisco turnovers into points in road win

BY JOSH DUBOW AP Sports Writer

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Drew Stanton threw two touchdown passes to Larry Fitzgerald in his first start in 2 years, David Johnson ran for two scores and the Arizona Cardinals capitalized on San Francisco mistakes to beat the 49ers 33-21 on Thursday night.

The Cardinals (2-3) got 17 points off three turnovers by the 49ers (1-4) – two interceptions

by Blaine Gabbert and a fumbled kickoff return by Chris Davis – and also had one drive extended by a running-into-the-kicker penalty.

Those three scoring drives totaled just 41 yards, but proved to be enough to beat the sloppy 49ers as the Cardinals survived a week without injured starting quarterback Carson Palmer .

Stanton didn’t produce much with Palmer sidelined by a concussion, going 11 for 27 for 124 yards. But Arizona didn’t turn the ball over and got 157 yards rushing from Johnson to get the win.

Calais Campbell’s interception of a deflected pass set up Arizona’s first score on a 21-yard pass from Stanton to Fitzgerald late in the second quarter. Davis’ fumble of the second-half kickoff then set up Johnson’s 4-yard run that put Arizona up for good.

Stanton then led his only long scoring drive of the night capped by a 29-yard pass to Fitzgerald to make it 21-7 and Marcus Cooper’s interception off Gabbert set up a 36-yard field goal by Chandler Catanzaro.

We want Kap: There were several thousand empty seats at the game but the fans who did show up were frustrated by what they saw. At one point in the third quarter, a chant of “We want Kap! We want Kap!” started up as fans wanted to give former starter Colin Kaepernick a shot at quarterback.

Gabbert responded by leading an 82-yard TD drive fueled in part by his 24-yard run .

Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell (center) intercepts a pass during the first half Thursday against the 49ers in Santa Clara, Calif.

The chants started again after Gabbert threw his second interception .

Favorite target: Jeremy Kerley, acquired 2 weeks before the start of the season in a trade with Detroit, has quickly established himself as Gabbert’s most trusted receiver.

After nine straight punts to open the game, Gabbert completed four passes for 63 yards on one drive in the second quarter, capped by a 9-yard TD pass to Kerley .

Punt party: The first quarter featured six drives, six punts, zero

points and only five completed passes as both offenses struggled mightily. Gabbert and Stanton missed open receivers, had other throws dropped and neither offense could generate much of anything.

Sack party: Markus Golden and Campbell each had two of Arizona’s seven sacks as the Cardinals put constant pressure on Gabbert.

Pass protection had been one of the few positives on offense for the 49ers, who had allowed just three sacks the first four games.

NLDS | DODGERS VS. NATIONALS

No sure thing in NLDS Five reasons the Cubs should worry about Giants

BY PAUL SULLIVAN Chicago Tribune

After a simulated game Tuesday at Wrigley Field, President Theo Epstein shot down a theory that Cubs fans aren’t nearly as apprehensive going into this postseason as they have been in years past.

“Who are you talking to?” he said.

The usual suspects, the fans who put a shield around themselves at the start of the playoffs – just in case the Cubs screw up. That way they can ease into the winter with minor aches and pains instead of cuddling into the fetal position in the bathtub for 4 months.

So, no worries from Cubs fans?

“Just some excitement mixed with some anxiety,” he said.

“That’s the nature of it.”

Epstein was told this team was so dominant it appeared as though those anxieties were reduced significantly as the season progressed. He promptly replied: “Check back if the other team …”

“Wins Game 1?”

“No, scores the first run or gets the first baserunner,” he said.

So Epstein expects business as usual from traditionally panicky Cubs fans?

“No, look, there is a real connection between the fans and this particular team,” he said.

“There’s a lot of trust and excitement. But it’s going to be important [to realize] no matter what happens, there are going to be some rough moments, no matter how successful a postseason.”

Veteran observers remember the deathly quiet at Wrigley after James Loney’s grand slam off Ryan Dempster in Game 1 of the Cubs-Dodgers NLDS in 2008. And the woe-is-us atmosphere in Game 7 of the 2003 NLCS after the Cubs lost an early lead to the Marlins. And as recently as last year, after the Mets pummeled Jason

BY HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer

AP

Anthony Rizzo (44) and the Cubs won 103 games in the regular season, but winning 11 more is now the team’s focus.

Hammel in the first inning of Game 4 of the NLCS, the place turned into a morgue.

Fan reaction to some adversity is one of the things the Cubs should worry about; here are four more.

Trying to do too much

It’s easy to get ahead of yourself if you’re trailing, wanting to get those runs backs in one chunk and changing your approach. That’s what Anthony Rizzo said he learned most from last year’s playoffs.

“It’s just one pitch [at a time] is the biggest thing,” Rizzo said.

“That’s one thing we all have to stress is that anything can happen, and you have to be prepared for it.”

Rondon’s arm

Hector Rondon posted a 9.82 earned-run average in the final month, allowing 13 hits in 7 1/3 innings after returning from a right triceps strain that landed him on the disabled list for 3 weeks. The Cubs need Rondon to return to his firsthalf form (1.72 ERA) to get the ball into the hands of Aroldis Chapman. Will manager Joe Maddon have a shorter leash

on Rondon if he struggles? Stay tuned.

Cold weather

The first-round forecast looks good, but the Cubs’ bats turned cold when the temperature dipped last year in the NLCS. The Mets’ dominant starters were a big reason. But the Cubs looked very uncomfortable playing in the cold no matter who was on the mound.

Outside noise

The national media is going to remind the Cubs about curses and the history of losing in unexpected fashion. And because they’re the favorites to win the World Series, there inherently is more pressure on this team than any other in Cubs history.

Epstein said he’s not worried about it.

“I don’t think the pressure is going to bother this group,” he said. “Opening day we played so well, and the attitude in the clubhouse after the game was as if they saw how good we can be when we focused. And they looked forward to replicating that as many times as we could throughout the year.”

AP

Clayton Kershaw is a three-time Cy Young Award winner, but in the playoffs has gone 2-6 with a 4.59 ERA.

The Cavaliers only mustered two shots in the match, and both came within the first 20:04. After a blast over the crossbar with 8:10 gone, Rafael Casas made it a one-goal match with an 8-yard pivot from a Nic Bollis pass off a corner kick.

When the Golden Warrior starters were ready to come in, they went right to work.

Patrick Nelsen’s header on an Adrian Herrera assist with 33:15 gone put Sterling up by two goals.

“We weren’t connecting,” Nelsen said. “We felt like we were doing this individually, and trying to score on our own instead of using the whole team like we should have.

“As soon as we got back out there, we did it and it just popped.”

Gallardo earned the first hat trick of his high school career just 1:14 later on a 10-yard left cross from Nelsen for his team-leading 21st goal. Tony Diaz ended the night just one shy of Gallardo after mopping up with four consecutive goals.

“Everyone was putting everything on defense,” Gallardo said of the Cavaliers. “Once we finally got our first two goals, they started to open up and more of our goals came.”

With Diaz’s fourth goal shaving nearly 10 minutes off the clock in a mercyrule situation, Adrian Blancas capped Sterling’s scoring with a 22-yard blast from center with 3:40 to go.

Sterling delivered 32 over-

all shots, of which 19 were on target. Jalen Depenbrock had 10 saves for the Cavaliers, who couldn’t overcome the barrage of goals by a refreshed Golden Warrior offense.

Coupled with a large shutout of LaSalle-Peru early this season, Sterling has put up 17 goals and allowed just one from the Cavaliers.

“The first match, they kind of surprised us how they came out against us, and it was just bang, bang bang,” Cavaliers coach Leo Trujillo said. “We knew coming in that we needed to defend well and everything needed to be perfect.

“We did a good job in the first 20 minutes, but Sterling’s a very good attacking team.”

Rock Falls’ Isaiah Harris looks for an opening in the Byron defense in Week 5. That loss began a two-game losing streak for Rock Falls after the Rockets began the season 3-1.

Rockets preparing for Cards’ run game BASICS

gomery wants to see his Rockets being more physical on the defensive line.

“It’s not a matter of reading anyBut that has been through a stretch thing, it’s just getting to the holes,” Montgomery said. “We know they’re against a lot of tough teams. Since going to run, we’ve just got to get beating North Boone in Week 1, the there. We’ve got to get there with Cardinals have fallen to Winnebago some intensity, and we’ve got to get (4-2), Byron (6-0), Johnsburg (6-0), there with some authority.

“The schedule was not in their favor gomery expects the Cardinals to sent this year,” Rockets coach Rich Mont- four- and five-man fronts against the gomery said. “They saw all the loaded Rockets’ passing attack. Stillman Valley saw another passing team when it teams first. Unfortunately for Stillman Valley, they weren’t able to pull played Dixon on Friday, when Dukes quarterback Noah Wilcox completed anything out. Their kids are looking 18 of 25 passes for 213 yards and at being out of the playoffs, so now they’re going to switch up their men- three touchdowns.

“We’re hoping that with our passing day. All but 17 of those came through the air, as Brady Atchison rushed for attack, we can get them out of position a bit,” Montgomery said.

Dukes D will have hands full with Cogs WRENCH

CONTINUED FROM B1

“We can’t underestimate them, and we hope they don’t underestimate us, either.

We’re a pretty strong team too, and I think it’s going to be a very good game.”

G-K is led by backs Aidan Simmons (95 rushes, 608 yards, 9 TDs) and Dan Guardi (60 rushes, 542 yards, 6 TDs), with quarterback Zach Butler (291 rushing yards, 6 TDs; 30-for-51 passing, 574 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs) a very real double-threat.

His favorite target is Zach Miller (8 catches, 232 yards, 3 TDs).

With such prowess both on the ground and through the air, Dixon knows it’s going to have its hands full when the Cogs have the ball.

“We’re going to have to stop their run game and their pass game,” senior Andrew Wolber said. “But it’s fun to play another physical team, because there’s always a lot of hitting going on. You get to go out there and see which team can do it and come out with the win.”

Dixon boasts even more balance than G-K. Arthur Cox leads the area in rushing yards (853), and is second in carries (128) and touchdowns (10).

And when he’s not running the ball through the secondary, quarterback Noah Wilcox is orchestrating the passing game.

Wilcox is second in the area in passing yards (1,040) and TD passes (11), and leads

Dixon’s Arthur Cox gives a stiff arm to Woodstock’s Jacob Sumner to gain extra yardage. the Sauk Valley in completion percentage (63.8, 90-for-141) with just one interception.

Six Dukes have at least seven catches, led by Kaylon Westmorland (23 for 219 yards, 2 TDs), Cox (21 for 274 yards, 3 TDs) and Jared Harrison (16 for 297 yards, 3 TDs).

But the thing that Smith has liked the most about his team is their mentality week in and week out.

“I like how physical we are, and I like how our kids don’t get down when things don’t go well early in the game,” Smith said. “ We ride that emotional roller coaster, where we come out and score right away and then we go flat for a while. But our kids don’t get down about that. They keep trying and trying and trying, and next thing you know, you’ve got Arthur running down the field untouched – and it’s happened in multiple games.”

Dallas thinks the main reason for that is because the offense and defense feed off each other to keep momentum on the

Dixon sideline.

“We feel like if our defense does something well, our offense will go out there and try to beat our defense.

It’s a nice cycle,” Dallas said. “If our defense goes out there and has a bad start, then our offense will pick us up, and we’ll be fine for the rest of the game.”

Smith says the defense “has been really a huge difference-maker in our season,” and likes that the Dukes can take more chances and open things up more offensively because the defense is keeping other offenses at bay.

That has led to high expectations around town, which adds a little weight on the Dukes’ shoulders – but they don’t mind it one bit.

“It puts a lot of pressure on us as a team, because everyone in the Dixon community is expecting us to win against a 6-0 team,” Wolber said. “But we’d rather have those expectations than not have them, and I can’t wait to get out there and play.”

Precise timing needs precise play

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Eddie Huang, a restaurateur and chef, said, “People talk about perfect timing, but I think everything is perfect in its moment; you just want to capture that.”

Bridge players know that timing is usually important in every deal. Sometimes playing the tricks in exactly the right order is vital, but not always.

In this deal, how should South time the play to make four spades after West leads the heart queen?

Four clubs was a splinter bid, which showed at least game values in spades with four-card or more support and a singleton (or void) in clubs.

South, counting his losers, sees four: one in each suit. If

declarer takes the first trick and plays a trump, which many could not resist doing, the contract fails.

East wins and returns a heart, which establishes a trick for West to cash when

in with the club ace. (South should lead a sneaky club jack from his hand, but West ought not to fall for it.)

Since it is impossible to avoid conceding one spade, one diamond and one club, South must eliminate that heart loser. He needs to discard dummy’s third heart on his second high club. Yes, but declarer must time the play perfectly by winning the first trick on the board and leading the club. West takes that trick and perseveres in hearts, but South wins with his king and cashes the club queen to permit dummy’s last heart to be evicted.

Declarer takes four spades, two hearts, one diamond, two clubs and a late heart ruff in the dummy.

Finally, note that if South wins trick one in his hand, he goes down. © 2016 UFS

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 2016 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Savor the moment and enjoy what life has to offer. Refuse to let anyone cause you grief or ruin your day. Enjoy the company of people eager to make positive contributions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Stick to what you know you can accomplish. Don’t waste time helping those who want you to do things for them.

Offer them suggestions and get back to your own work.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Anger, emotionally charged situations and professional and personal problems will leave you frazzled. Accept the inevitable and keep moving forward.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’ll be given false information. Don’t act on assumptions when you should be gathering facts. Focus inward and make personal improvements that will help you advance.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- When dealing with people who are prone to take advantage of you, you must control your emotions. Go over your personal papers and protect your assets. Do what’s best for you.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Call in help if you need it. Address troubling issues with people who think as you do. Establishing your position and bolstering your strategy with facts will help you overcome opposition.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t let emotions flare up and lead to a dispute that can and should be avoided.

Be patient and listen to alternative solutions being offered. Compromise will pay off.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Making travel plans or gathering information while attending a conference, trade show or business meeting will work in your favor. What you have to contribute will improve your position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -Thinking big is fine, but when it comes to actually putting your plans in motion, you are best off taking baby steps.

Don’t exceed your budget or get in over your head.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you learn by watching others, you will find a way to make personal improvements.

Incorporating something you enjoy doing into your professional life will pay off.

Celebrate with someone you love.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Stretching your imagination to come up with new ideas and plans will bring about an opportunity to make a difference to yourself and others.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are best off getting out and socializing or doing something that will ease your stress. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty or insignificant. Focus on love and peace. ©2016 UFS
