Great strides

With a gold-painted sledgehammer in hand, Sterling mayor Skip Lee takes a swing at a ceremonial door Thursday evening during the groundbreaking ceremony at Lawrence Lofts in downtown Sterling.

Sinnissippi Centers has come a long way since 1966. On Thursday, friends and staff reflected on where they’ve been and what the future holds

DIXON – Measuring its footprint over the past 50 years, Sinnissippi Centers’ shoe size has grown 10-fold.

After a particularly tough year vying for state funds to keep up services to thousands of people in the four-county area, the Sinnissippi community breathed a little easier Thursday to reflect on the strides made during the past half century.

“This is like being able to take a deep breath,” Sinnissippi President/CEO Patrick Phelan said. “We’ve had some challenging years, and there’s more ahead of us, but I think there is some really promising work going on and more hope for the future.”

$127,000 payment will repay city coffers for dredging work

STERLING – A mighty swing of the sledgehammer into a symbolic door officially ushered in a new way of thinking about the city’s downtown.

Mayor Skip Lee left his mark Thursday on the door emblazoned with the new Lawrence Lofts logo.

The door prop was used at the community groundbreaking ceremony held Thursday at the Lawrence Building.

Floors two through five of the building have been vacant since the 1960s.

STERLING – It took a while, but the Sterling Park District has received full payment on its share of the state Mud to Parks grant.

“We received a check for $127,000 and change from the state Wednesday for the dredging work done at Thomas Park,” Parks Director Larry Schuldt said.

In September 2013, the city learned it would receive a $1.3 million EPA Green Infrastructure Grant for its ecotourism project on the riverfront, and a $900,000 award from the Mud to Parks grant program. The Mud to Parks money was to be used to move fill to cover the former Northwestern Steel & Wire Co. brownfield site.

The 50th anniversary gala at Sauk Valley Community College brought together about 160 individuals with past or current ties to the agency, including Larry Prindaville, who retired in February after 44 years at Sinnissippi.

Prindaville, former senior vice president/ chief administrative officer, said the agency’s ability to adapt has allowed for tens of thousands of people in need to access treatment and be provided with a “pillar of strength” to hold on to when fighting the effects of diseases, disorders, disabilities and dysfunctions.

“Recovery does work, we know that.

We know that treatment works,” he said.

“We know that within every individual is an incredible capacity to overcome the problems they have to deal with.”

Looking back on more than 4 decades of history, he said the organization’s greatest feats were developing specialty services for children and providing safe and secure housing for clients.

Marvin Lindsey, President/CEO of the Community Behavioral Healthcare Association of Illinois, said the four main drivers for the industry are business, healthcare, technology and politics.

State still on the hook to city for nearly $300,000 GRANT

DIXON

Langloss on national council Group will help find alternative solutions to incarceration for addicts

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

In January 2014, the Mud to Parks grant was amended to include the park district when it was discovered the projects could be linked. The cost of transporting fill was more expensive than the city first thought, and using what was dredged from nearby Thomas Park could bring down the cost.

The grant money, however, was frozen shortly after Gov. Bruce Rauner took office in January 2015. The stopgap budget passed June 30 by the Legislature has gradually allowed Mud to the state to release some of the money Parks owed from its grant Go to the Illiprograms. nois DepartIn the meantime, ment of Natumany grant recipiral Resources ents were forced to website at find other ways to dnr.illinois. fund projects and gov/conserhope they would be vation for reimbursed later. more informa“We had budgettion about its ed the grant money Mud to Parks last year, but when grant prowe didn’t get it, gram. we took it out of reserves,” Schuldt said. “Now we’ll be able to put it back in reserves.”

The city has received part of its money in piecemeal fashion. Some of the invoices from project work have been submitted and paid, but the state’s budget woes intervened.

“Everything we submitted in the past has now been paid, but we were asked to hold off on submitting more invoices until the ones outstanding were reimbursed,” City Manager Scott Shumard said.

Now that the state has caught up, the city is sending the rest of its invoices. The state still owes the city $295,255.37 in ecotourism grant money.

Thomas Park is also linked with the city in that it plays an important role in stormwater drainage. The pond slows down water flow into Elkhorn Creek, and helps keep water from the neighboring residential areas.

Police council

@rj_rodgers

DIXON – Police Chief Danny Langloss has a seat at the table of a newly formed national police council focused on addiction and recovery efforts.

The Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative, a group committed to finding alternatives to incarceration to fight Dixon Police drug addiction, Chief Danny a n n o u n c e d Thursday the Langloss creation of a new advisory board made up of law enforcement leaders from across the country.

The council’s purpose will be to pool law enforcement insight to help guide the organization’s development and to improve programs similar to Lee County’s Safe Passage Initiative, which has provided 115 addicts with avenues to seek treatment and work toward recovery

Members of the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative newly created police council are: • Dixon Police Chief Danny Langloss • Sgt. Michael Braley, Everett, Washington, Police Department • Sgt. Brittney Garrett, Jeffersontown, Kentucky, Police Department • Chief Tim Lentz, Covington, Louisiana, Police Department • Chief Joseph Solomon, Methuen, Massachusetts, Police Department • Officer John Gill, Scarborough, Maine, Police Department

Go to paariusa.org to learn more about the Police Assisted Addiction and Recovery Initiative. without fear of arrest.

Langloss, who spearheaded the Safe Passage program and has visited more than 40 different police departments to help them start their own programs, said the council will serve as an integral resource to help strengthen efforts to combat addiction and provide a think tank that can address different program challenges.

“We see firsthand what

the real struggles and issues are for people trying to beat this addiction,” he said. “Being on the council will give us a chance to improve upon the foundations of what we’re already doing.”

Langloss joins five other council members representing departments in Washington, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts and Maine.

“The opioid epidemic is

felt in every corner of the nation, in communities large and small, and police have answered the call,” said Joseph Solomon, Chief of the Methuen, Massachusetts, Police Department and a council member.

The details are still being worked out, but Langloss said the council will most likely meet via video conference because of how far the members are spread out.

Over the past year, PAARI has grown to encompass a network of more than 150 police departments and 200 treatment centers.

Langloss said the growth of these programs reflects a changing mindset toward addressing the wildfire of heroin addiction that’s spread across the nation, but more work is needed to secure funding and make treatment more successful.

“Every police department may have a different approach, and it is vital that we work together and communicate with each other in a show of force against addiction,” Solomon said.

Colder weather will boost heating bills Associated Press

Expect to pay more to heat your home this winter than you spent last year.

That’s the message from government analysts who sifted through forecasts for a colder winter and slightly higher energy prices.

The Energy Department said Thursday that household bills are likely to be higher for all four main heating fuels – natural gas, electricity, heating oil, and propane.

Last winter, above-normal temperatures reduced nationwide demand for

heating fuels to the lowest level in at least 25 years.

Here is the Energy Department forecast for average household heating bill from October through March: Natural gas: up 22 percent, or $116, to $635 on a national average. If winter is colder than NOAA predicts, the increases would be 31 percent nationally.

Nearly half of all American homes are heated with natural gas. The price of gas is expected to rise a modest 11 percent over last winter, but still that would be the high-

est average winter price in 6 years.

Heating oil: up 38 percent, or $378, to an average $1,370.

Only 5 percent of U.S. homes use heating oil, but it warms nearly one-fourth of homes in the Northeast.

The bad news for them: The retail price is up by 42 cents per gallon since last winter because of higher crude prices.

Electricity: up 5 percent, or $49, to $945 due to higher consumption. Rates are expected to be flat.

Nearly 40 percent of U.S.

households heat with electricity including more than 60 percent in the South.

Propane: Lower than most years, but higher than last winter, when temperatures were mild and prices low.

In the Northeast, the forecast calls for an average increase of $346, or 21 percent, to $1,991; in the Midwest, it’s $290 more, or 30 percent, to $1,272.

Wood and wood pellets: used to heat about 2.5 million U.S. homes . The energy agency didn’t offer a cost forecast.

Ida Mae Schuler DIXON – Ida Mae Schuler, 98, of Dixon, died Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2016, at KSB Hospital in Dixon.

Ida was born Sept. 11, 1918, in Prentice, the daughter of James Franklin and Minnie (Farmer) Rogers, the fourth of five children. Ida graduated high school at age 16 after completing 3 years. She would go to women’s homes in her younger years to wash and set their hair for 25 cents.

When arriving in Dixon, with her oldest sister, Louise, she went to work at Brown’s Shoe Factory, later known as Freeman’s Shoe Factory, as a cutter, making combat boots for 18 cents an hour. She worked there for 20 years before moving on to BorgWarner Automotive, as an assembler making car components for 21 years, retiring in 1983. She married Max Schuler on Oct. 16, 1948, in Clinton, Iowa.

He preceded her in death on Jan. 14, 1972.

Ida loved spending time with her family at family gatherings. She was a loyal St. Louis Cardinal fan, and when her Grandpa Rogers would stay with her family in her childhood days, she would sit in front of the radio with him and cheer the Cardinals on. She loved gardening and playing with

her many pets. Her favorite pastimes were bowling, bingo, and helping at VFW functions in her earlier years, and in later years, she played euchre with her many friends at the American Legion and Elks Lodge.

Ida is survived by one daughter, Carol (James) Kirby, and one son, Doug (Sandy) Schuler, all of Dixon; one granddaughter, Tracy (Steve) Kitzman; and five greatgrandchildren, Sydney, Izabella, Gabrielle, Steven, and Max Kitzman; and one brother, Franklin Rogers.

She also was preceded in death by three sisters, Louise Sheets, Lucille Kindred, and Mildred Hartzell.

Visitation will be from 9 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, and the funeral at 11 a.m. Saturday at Preston-Schilling Funeral Home in Dixon, with the Rev. Brian Tribley, pastor of Firehouse of God Ministries in Sterling, officiating. Burial will follow at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens in Dixon.

Memorials have been established to Firehouse of God Ministries in Sterling and Dixon Food Pantry.

says, closing the county’s budget shortfall will still mean more revenue is needed.

Her proposed tax would apply to sweetened beverages sold in Cook County, including carbonated soft drinks, fruit beverages, sports drinks and energy drinks. It doesn’t include 100 percent fruit juices. The tax is expected to raise $74 million.

Preckwinkle campaigned in 2010 against a 1-cent tax increase that the board adopted in 2008.

CHICAGO (AP) – Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle has proposed a budget that includes a penny-perounce tax on sugary beverages.

Preckwinkle unveiled her proposed $4.4 billion fiscal year 2017 budget Thursday. She said in comments accompanying the proposal that the county has made strides at stabilizing its financial outlook. But, she

Illinois state amendment ads top $2.5 million SPRINGFIELD (AP) – An Illinois group that wants to prevent transportation funds from being diverted elsewhere has spent about $2.5 million in television advertising to persuade voters to approve their idea.

Figures released Thursday by the Center for Public Integrity show that Citizens to Protect Transportation

Funding has spent the money to air their ads nearly 1,300 times this election cycle.

Since 2003, an estimated $6.8 billion in transportation funds generated by tolls, license fees and the gas tax have been used by state government for other things. That’s according to the Transportation for Illinois Coalition.

The so-called “lockbox amendment” on the Nov. 8 ballot proposes the money be used solely for transportationrelated purposes.

TEN MILE, Tenn. – John H. Brandau, 73, of Ten Mile, died peacefully early Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016, after fighting melanoma cancer for the past 2 years.

John was born April 10, 1943, in Columbus, Ohio, to Leland and Faith (Burgstahler) Brandau.

John graduated in 1961 from Sterling Township High School. In 1966, he received a business degree from Pfeiffer College, and in 1968, his master’s degree in international marketing from Northern Illinois University. In 1962, John married Sandra Vogel of Sterling.

John’s career developed with Northern Illinois Gas Co. and W.W. Grainger in the 1960s.

In 1984, John moved to Lake Tahoe, where he fulfilled a lifelong dream of opening his own business, “The Seasick Giraffe,” a travel, safari, and clothing specialty store. John’s love for California grew, and in 1987, he opened a second store in San Diego, with his then wife, Cora Erskine.

In 2002, John returned to Sterling to care for his mother, Faith Brandau.

In 2006, John and wife, Jackie Brandau, moved to Ten Mile, after falling in love with the people, rivers, and beautiful location. Although he

Mayor: Partnership one of the best things city ever did LOFTS

to downtown services and amenities brings the economic benefits of a mixed-use approach.

“Adding a residential component to the downtown is huge,” said Janna Groharing, executive director of Sterling Main Street and Sterling Today. “There is a lot of momentum building in the downtown – we’ve seen five new businesses open in the last few weeks.”

Hollenback said a unique feature of Lawrence Lofts is the availability of a veterans housing subsidy.

“The VA office is just a few blocks away from this project,” Hollenback said. “One of the definitions of community is taking care of your own.”

Rock Island Economic Growth Corp. put together financing for the $5.6 million project.

The money will come from a complex mix that included the Illinois Housing Development Authority, low-income housing tax credits, state affordable housing tax credits, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, Affordable Housing Program, the Sterling Today facade program, Sauk Valley Bank, and the Illinois Attorney General’s National Foreclosure Settlement Funds.

The city contributed by setting up a tax increment financing rebate program. Sterling Today took on some of the predevelopment costs, and provided a $50,000 grant to be used as a rental subsidy for two units set aside for very lowincome households. The nonprofit development group also contributed a $100,000 facade grant for exterior improvements to the building.

Hollenback said the project will make an eco-

The apartments will range from 484 to 780 square feet. There will be one-bedroom, one-bathroom options, and twobedroom, two-bathroom units. Rent ranges from $215 to $740 a month.

While the event kicked off a 10-month construction period for the $5.6 million affordable housing project, the celebration was about several links in the city’s partnership Janna Groharing chain with Sterling Main developer Street execu- Rock Island tive director Economic says adding G r o w t h apartments Corp. – a is ‘huge’ for downtown. chain that represents the nonprofit’s comprehensive approach to city revitalization.

“Our relationship with the city goes back 7 years, and looking back, it’s quite impressive what’s been accomplished through partnerships,” said Brian Hollenback, president and CEO of the corporation.

Through those partnerships, $3.6 million has been invested in the community before the Lawrence Lofts project.

The Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2 provided nearly $2.8 million for rehabilitation and demolition efforts in atrisk neighborhoods. The city earned $1 million from the sale of rehabbed properties.

The city has participated in several other housing programs through the corporation. Through the Blight Reduction Program, the city has received $455,000 to

During its 7-year partnership, the city and the Rock Island Growth Corp., millions of dollars have been invested in a comprehensive redevelopment plan through the following programs: • Neighborhood Stabilization Program 2: $2.8 million • Illinois Attorney General’s National Foreclosure Settlement Funds: $285,000 • Housing Trust Fund Emergency Program: $22,000 • Housing Trust Fund Purchase-Rehabilitation Program: $65,533 – $1.6 million generated in real estate sales • Blight Reduction Program: $455,000 • Homebuyer Education/Financial Counseling – Utilized by 33 homebuyers • Lawrence Lofts: $5.6 million demolish 13 vacant eyesores, eight of which have already been taken down.

The mayor said many people have put in countless hours on the Lawrence Lofts project, citing Sterling Today, Greater Sterling Development Corp., Sterling City Council, City Manager Scott Shumard, and his predecessor, Amy Viering.

“Today is one of those days I get to bask in the glow of everyone else’s work,” Lee said. “Our partnership with Rock Island Growth is one of the best things the city ever did.”

The Lawrence Lofts project is considered a milestone in the city’s downtown and riverfront revitalization efforts.

It is hoped that adding affordable housing within walking distance

ty’s perspective, it allows that entity to keep ownership of the first floor and continue to have a presence in downtown Sterling.

“Rock Island Growth began its multi-family downtown revitalization efforts in 2001, and

since then has leveraged more than $170 million in housing activity,” Hollenback said. “Through these efforts, we have witnessed firsthand how these projects serve as catalysts for additional downtown revitalization.”

Political class failures giving rise to populism And it’s not just in the U.S.; other nations have seen it, too The (Alton) Telegraph Editorial Board

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: A recent poll found that almost 60 percent of Illinoisans under 35 say they would leave the state if they could. What does that say about our state? How should our leaders respond?

W

ell, it should come as no great surprise that the majority of people in the state are just frustrated with the current “state of the state.” Unfortunately, for the younger generation, it’s better to leave the state to find opportunity than stay and hope for a better tomorrow.

For us who are of the older generation, we have too much invested with respect to our jobs, homes and families to just to pull up stakes and start a new adventure – it’s just too risky.

As long as the present balance of power exists in Springfield or, for that matter, in Chicago, the financial woes that exist in

the state will continue. Increasing taxes, growing public pension obligations, and an unfriendly business environment will further continue the state’s slide into oblivion.

As long as public employee unions continue their stranglehold on the state, nothing will happen – just look at the deal that the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) got this week to avert a strike. I’ve always said that benefits offered in the public sector should mirror the reality of the private sector – because, after all, it’s the private sector employees and businesses that foot the bill.

My optimism about the future of the state wanes with each passing day.

eople who tell pollsters they would like to flee Illinois – many of them blaming high taxes – feel better after getting that complaint off their chest.

But, fortunately for the state, most people are not serious about it. They can’t leave their job, they don’t want to leave their family and friends, and they won’t embark on a big adventure that gives up the security their present lives offer them. That’s good for their communities, because loss of population can be devastating to local businesses and local governments.

Given their circumstances, let’s hope that people who are disenchanted with life in Illinois decide that while they’re here, they will

I

think the first thing it says about Illinois is that it’s in the Midwest and doesn’t have (many) beaches, mountains or other scenic places where someone 35 and under – heck, 35 and over, for that matter – might want to be. If I COULD move to a beach somewhere, I would, too!

Illinois can’t compete with a Florida beach.

But it is my home; it’s where I grew up; and it’s where most of my family still lives. So, for

do what they can to make things better. They can start next month by exercising their right to vote.

The people on the ballot – state legislators, county board members and others – make decisions about how much we’re taxed and how our tax dollars are spent. If the state is in financial trouble (and it is), that is because of the decisions made by the people we have elected.

So, you want to leave Illinois, but you can’t do that right now. Well, something you can do now is your part to try to fix the problems you want to flee.

This election won’t change everything. But it’s a good start.

people like me, it’s far easier to tell a surveyor that I’d like to leave Illinois than it would be to actually do it.

That said, Illinois leaders, specifically those in Springfield, could do more to make the state a place where more people would like to live. State politics must be repaired. And cities and counties must find ways to invest in quality-of-life projects – like, say, riverfront developments.

Whatever the outcome of November’s presidential election, one particular note should be apparent to political leaders going forward: Populism is alive and strong in American politics.

But it’s not unique to the United States this year; populism is trending globally.

There is an evident global frustration with those in the political class who are viewed to be out of touch with the average person.

These folks are voting for what they believe will disrupt the political system and displace the establishment.

To that aim, 2016 has numerous examples: In the United Kingdom, voters surprisingly voted to exit the European Union in June. In May, the Philippines elected Rodrigo Duterte, a brash politician known for making cringeworthy statements that often rightly inspire global condemnation.

AND CLOSER TO home, Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has been built on tapping into populist frustrations of Americans who feel as though they are unrepresented, disenfranchised, left behind, and poorly served by the American government. It was a similar populist sentiment that carried the Bernie Sanders campaign.

And now, even Hillary Clinton has recognized that some of the populist policies Sanders and Trump have floated are

gaining traction and she has assumed similar positions, specifically talking about trade and the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

Populism has gone global this year and is due in no small part to global economics – and the economic choices many politicians have instituted since the onset of the global recession. As was argued by Martin Wolf in the Financial Times: “Real income stagnation over a far longer period than any since the second world war is a fundamental political fact.”

Wolf drew data from the McKinsey Global Institute’s report, “Poorer than their Parents?” which detailed the number of households suffering from real incomes that are either stagnant or falling: “On average between 65 and 70 percent of households in 25 highincome economies experienced this between 2005 and 2014. In the period between 1993 and 2005, however, only 2 percent of households suffered stagnant or declining real incomes.”

This staggering data alone is enough to explain why voters are angry, scared and rightly frustrated with the political class.

It’s easy for politicians and government leaders to dismiss these populist winds, but that’s a dangerous proposition. Voters are frustrated because government has become ineffective, political leaders are out of touch and unaccountable, and the fortunes of the elite seem to improve while the many stagnate or get worse.

Perhaps the greatest lesson of the 2016 election is that populism is bred when the political class fails to listen and act.

OCKFORD – Those 21 and older have the floor during Discover the Spirits on Oct. 21 at the Discovery Center Museum.

During this evening event, guests can sample from nearly 80 alcoholic beverages to raise money for the museum. The entry fee includes 10 tastings.

It’s not just spirits to be found. Music by Frank Calvagna and Vince Chiarelli, as well as Carl Cole’s Sounds of Good News will perform. And what fun would drinks be without some food to taste? The treats will come from Five Forks, Thunder Bay Grill, Sweet Dreams Bakery, Olive Oil Experience, Pinnon’s Meats and Chick-fil-A. Just when it seems like a quiet evening of food, song and science is all there is, along come the science demonstrations – and even an explosion! The event also features an intuitive reader who will give guests insight into their life, a silent auction, and a caricature artist.

The backpack is as much as a part of school life as homework. Students use backpacks to carry everything they need.

Unfortunately, the weight of everything they need stuffed into an improperly worn backpack can lead to sore joints and muscles.

“Many students carry backpack loads weighing more than 15 percent of their body weight, and parents are starting to hear their school-age children complaining of back pain,” says Dr. Jessica Sosso, a Mayo Clinic Health System family physician.

When worn properly, backpacks are the best way to carry things, especially for long periods of time, adds Sosso.

“When properly worn, a backpack is supported by the strongest muscles in the body: the back and abdominal muscles.

These muscles work together to stabilize the trunk and hold the body in proper postural alignment. Improper backpack use presents some dangers to young, still-growing joints and muscles.”

Sosso suggests these tips: Wear both straps.

Slinging a backpack over one shoulder causes a person to lean to one side to compensate for the uneven weight, curving the spine. Over time, this can cause lower and upper back pain, strained shoulders and neck, and functional scoliosis (curvature of the spine). Teenage girls are especially susceptible to scoliosis.

Make sure the backpack is not too heavy.

Students should not carry

more than 15 percent of their body weight in a backpack. Even when worn properly with both straps, leaning forward to compensate for the extra weight of a full day’s worth of textbooks and a change of clothing for after-school activities, for example, can affect the natural curve in the lower back. Extra weight also may cause a rounding of the shoulders and an increased curve in the upper back. As a result, students may experience back, shoulder and neck pain.

Pay attention to the type of backpack. Look for backpacks with wide straps. Narrow straps can hinder circulation, causing numbness or tingling in the arms, which, over time, may cause weakness in the hands.

Look for a backpack with a waist belt. Tightening the belt helps distribute the weight of the backpack more evenly. It’s also wise to consider the weight of the backpack when empty. For example, a canvas backpack will be lighter than leather.

For students who often walk to school near traffic, parents might want to find a backpack that has reflective strips that make their child more noticeable to drivers.

“Overall, you should encourage your children to wear their backpacks properly and keep it light,” says Sosso. “Have them use both straps and make frequent stops at their locker throughout the day to avoid carrying all their books at once.

And leave nonessentials at home. Urge your children to tell you if they are in pain or have discomfort before a problem becomes serious.”

Kids have to shoulder a lot when they go to school, and experts say that could lead to back problems. But following a few simple steps could head off those problems.

The booming brain game industry appeals to people eager to fight age-related memory loss and otherwise boost their brain power. But can playing brain games on your phone or computer really make you smarter?

Alas, no, according to an exhaustive review of published studies on braintraining products including Lumosity, CogniFit and BrainHQ. “We found little compelling evidence that prac-

ticing cognitive tasks in brain-training products produces lasting cognitive benefits for real-world cognition,” the authors of the study wrote in the journal Psychological Science in the Public Interest. “However, some training programs might well produce benefits for the trained tasks and closely related ones.”

“If your hope is to stave off the cognitive losses that sometimes accompany aging or to enhance your performance at

school or in your profession, you should be skeptical of the value of any quick fixes,” the authors wrote. “The evidence largely does not support claims of broad cognitive benefits from practicing the sorts of cognitive tasks used in most brain-training software.”

The scientists suggested that those interested in staying mentally-fit consider doing activities such as exercising and reading that have proven to promote brain health.

Mom balks at supervising ex’s visits Dear Abby, I was married to my husband for 15 years and we have a set of preteen twins. After he was arrested and put in prison for possession of child pornography, I divorced him. After much counseling, it was determined that he had not hurt our children.

He will be released soon, and I don’t want to see him. However, my twins do want to see their father. He is not allowed unsupervised visits, and I don’t trust his family to watch him closely. Must I suck it up and let him visit with me present for our children’s sake, or would it be better to cut ties completely and let

a solution. However, if there aren’t, this is something you should discuss with a lawyer because the courts sometimes provide individuals who can supervise visitation.

– Angry and Disgusted Dear Angry and Disgusted, Are there any relatives from your side of the family who would be willing to be present? If there are, that might be

Dear Abby, My husband and I moved to Maryland from Florida to be closer to my mom because my dad passed away last March.

Since we’ve been here, my husband has been acting strange. He seems super stressed out, and he is hanging out with people I don’t know and staying out until all hours of the night. I’m worried that I might have done something wrong that is causing him to act like

this. Please help.

– Concerned In The East Dear Concerned, When couples marry, they usually socialize together, not separately.

It is far more likely that your husband is doing something wrong “that is causing him to act like this” than anything you have done. Your husband might have fallen in with a crowd of singles, drinkers – or heaven knows what. It’s time to have a frank talk with him and get to the bottom of what’s going on, because something definitely is.

Dear Abby, I have a problem with

a friend I play golf with twice a week. We are part of a group of 12 retired men, and one golfer is an extremely slow player. By slow, I mean taking a long time between golf shots, checking yardages and taking numerous practice swings before playing. Meanwhile, the rest of us are waiting for him, and we feel pressured to make up the time so our group doesn’t fall behind on the course.

We have all mentioned it to him, but it seems to roll off his back. It is getting to the point that no one wants to play in his foursome. What’s the best way to handle this?

– Slow Burn In Augusta

Dear Slow Burn, It is unfair to the group for one player to create this kind of problem for the other 11. Since talking to him about it has had no effect, the person closest to him should speak to him privately and point out that his slow play is creating stress for everyone, and he should either eliminate the problem or play with a different group of golfers.

New ‘Star Wars’ trailer reveals more on character backgrounds Tribune News Service

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is finally ready to reveal a big bit of “Star Wars-ian” plot.

The new trailer for the first standalone movie in the “Star Wars” universe has doubled down on the audacity of hope, while simultaneously teasing a ton of new story details.

The newest look at the film debuted Thursday morning on “Good Morning America” and delves a little more deeply into the backstory of main character Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) and her involvement with the rebel forces.

We see Jyn with her father, Gal Erso (Mads

Mikkelsen), in an exchange in which he tells her that everything he does is for her. The casting of Mikkelsen as Jyn’s father was revealed in the summer during a Star Wars Celebration in London, but this is the first time we’ve gotten a glimpse.

It’s a moment that lingers when soon after we see that Gal, a scientist, has joined the Empire and is likely the architect who created of the greatest weapon the universe has ever known: the Death Star.

This pits Jyn against her father and his newfound loyalties as she allies herself with the rebel forces looking

to steal the blueprints for the Death Star and, unwittingly, lay the groundwork for no less than nine future films.

But Jyn is not alone in her quest to capture the plans and set up the events of “Star Wars: A New Hope.”

The cast of the new film is vast and notably diverse, with Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Jiang Wen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed and Forest Whitaker, among others, joining Jones and Mikkelsen in this previously unseen battle between rebel and Empire forces.

“Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is set to open Dec. 16.

T

urner Morse, 18, is one of Sterling High School’s September Students of the Month. His parents are Dustin Morse, 46, and Stacey Morse, 45. He has two brothers: Tanner Morse, 21, of Annapolis, Maryland, and Trey Morse, 16.

Favorite class: Chemistry.

I enjoy learning about the chemical make-up of the universe.

Least-favorite class: Spanish. I just was not interested in learning it. I have taken 4 years of Spanish and still cannot speak it.

Favorite teacher: Mr. Steve Johnson, chemistry. He’s a good teacher because he makes even the most boring topics fun to learn about.

School activities in which you participate: Football, swimming, baseball, Young Doctors League, math team, science club, freshman mentor program, National Honors Society Civic, church, volunteer or other activities in which you participate: I try to volunteer at Parkway Center and spend time with the residents when I’m not busy.

What is your favorite ...

• App? Twitter • Food? Steak • Game or activity? Baseball or football • Movie? “Saving Private Ryan” • TV show? “Two and a Half Men” • Sports team? Chicago Cubs Do you have a job? Part-time at Industrial Overlay How would you describe your group of friends? Small but close What will you do after high school? I hope to attend the Naval Academy to major in chemistry, and hopefully become a pilot.

What is something you learned in high school that you think you will never use? A lot of the history I was taught.

What kind of music are you listening to? Country Is there a celebrity whom you look like/act like/feel like? I have heard that I look like Paul Walker.

What’s the one thing in your

life you can’t do without? My family and friends What is your advice for surviving high school? Find out who you are and stick to what you do best.

If you could change one thing about your school, what would it be? As of last year, we could not take a backpack from class to class. I wish we could bring back the backpacks, because my locker is out of the way of all my classes.

What scares you? I am scared of wasps. I do not want to be stung by a wasp because they just freak me out.

If you could try any job for a day, what would it be? I would be an orthopedic surgeon, because I believe that is what I would like to do when I am older, and it would be cool to get some more insight of what the job actually is like.

If you could go anywhere in the world for free, where would it be? Why? I would go to Alaska. I want to take a trip there, but it is not a trip I would be willing to pay for.

What is a good book you read most recently? “Brother’s Forever” by Tom Sileo and Col.

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Turner Morse is one of Sterling High School’s September Students of the Month. He hopes to follow in the footsteps of his brother, Tanner, and attend the Naval Academy, where the plan is to major in chemistry and become a pilot.

Tom Manion. It tells the true story of how two midshipmen at the Naval Academy created a brotherhood that lasted forever.

What is your proudest moment? Breaking the reception record at Sterling that was held by my own coach since 1988.

Who is your hero/role

model? Why? My parents are my role models because through all of their struggles, they still give my brothers and me the best life we can have.

Is there anything else you would want people to know about you? I love to make people laugh.

Who’d you like to send a shout out to? Team 112

September Student of the Month: Megan Barnhart What is your favorite ...

• App? Instagram • Food? Roast • Game or activity? Running • TV show? “Friends” • Sports team? Sterling Golden Warriors (112) Civic, church, volunteer or other activities in which you participate: I teach F.I.T. (Faith Immersion Together) at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Dixon, which is our church’s form of Sunday school.

Do you have a job? I work for the Dixon Park District.

How would you describe your group of friends? Outgoing, outspoken, courageous and hilarious What will you do after high school? I plan to attend a 4-year university, preferably University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign, to study Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences with a major in Fish and Wildlife Conservation.

What is something you learned in high school that you think you will never use? Rolle’s Theorem, which essentially states that any realvalued differentiable function that attains equal values at

two distinct points must have a stationary point somewhere between them. Where will I ever apply that?

What kind of music are you listening to? Everything from pop and hip-hop to indie/folk to oldies to country What’s the one thing in your life you can’t do without? My family What is your advice for surviving high school? Do your schoolwork as much as you can, because once that GPA falls, boy, is it hard to bring it back up.

If you could change one thing about your school, what would it be? I would move it to a better location, because there are limited amounts of running routes around it, and they get worn out quickly.

What scares you? Public speaking. I feel like I’ll mess up and be stuck standing in front of a crowd that’s just staring at me.

What’s something about you that nobody knows? I have a hole in my eyebrow that is a chicken pox scar from when I was younger.

If you could try any job for a day, what would it be? Tour guide in a foreign city Who is your hero/role model?

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Megan Barnhart, 17, is one of Sterling High School’s September Students of the Month. She plans to study Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences, major in Fish and Wildlife Conservation, and never work a desk job.

I look up to my older sister, Mackenzie, a lot because she has to take the majority of first steps for us. She’s always there to teach and guide, and push me along, never hesitating to take the initiative even if she’s wrong. She’s also very stubborn, so she’s taught me to be persistent and to not let people drag me around.

What do you think your life will be like 10 years from now?

In 10 years, I hope to be work-

ing at a job related to my major, hopefully in conservation. I do not want to be stuck at a desk job, so I pray I’m somewhere working outside in the environment.

Who’d you like to send a shout out to? Katlyn Bay, one of my best friends from back in Dixon. Coincidentally, we both got September Student of the Month, so we must be doing something right! Congrats, Katie Bay :)

ILLINOIS

Most accidental shootings of children in state involve handguns CHICAGO (AP) – Fortytwo times during a 2-anda-half-year span, a child was killed or injured in an accidental shooting in Illinois.

The Associated Press and the USA Today Network analyzed the circumstances surrounding every accidental shooting death and injury involving chil-

dren ages 17 and younger in the U.S. from Jan. 1, 2014, through June 30 of this year – more than 1,000 incidents in all. These are shootings in which children unintentionally shot themselves, other children or were accidentally shot by adults.

Illinois has the 29th highest rate, which comes in

just below the national average. Here is a closer look at the issue in Illinois: • Most of Illinois’ accidental shootings involving children – 30 of them – were in Chicago. Eleven others were scattered throughout the state, from the Mississippi River town of East Moline and rural central Illinois community

of Effingham to Marengo in the north and bigger cities like Peoria and Champaign.

• The majority of Illinois incidents – 32 of them – involved teen victims.

That conforms to a national trend showing that these accidental shootings spike for children under 5 and then again during the

teenage years. In Illinois, 26 of the teen victims were wounded and six were killed.

• Aligning with the national trend, most of the Illinois shootings – 22 of them – involved handguns. One involved a shotgun. In 18 cases, the firearm type was listed as unknown in the data.

• Nationally, the shootings happened most often at the children’s homes, with handguns legally owned by adults for selfprotection. In Illinois, 26 of the shootings, or more than half, occurred at the children’s homes or another residence. One was in a car, and 14 took place in a public area.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH

Domestic violence can be defined as a pattern of behavior in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control. Domestic violence is not limited to physical violence, but also includes verbal abuse, emotional abuse and economic abuse.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE. Be Prepared: • Know where you can go for help: tell someone what is happening to you. If it is safe, have phone numbers of friends, relatives and domestic violence programs with you.

• If you are planning to leave, choose the safest time to get away. Keep spare keys, set of clothes, important papers and legal documents, prescriptions and money in a safe place (or with someone you trust) in case you leave.

• When being treated for injuries, ask medical personnel to document your visit. Keep any evidence of physical abuse (ripped clothing, photos of bruises and injuries, etc.)

• Plan with your children and identify a safe place for them: a room with a lock or a neighbor’s house where they can go for help. Reassure them their job is to stay safe, not protect you.

• Call the police (or arrange a signal with a neighbor to call the police) if you are in danger and need help.

Domestic violence services for victims in Lee & Whiteside Counties: YWCA of the Sauk Valley Hotline: (815) 626-7277 or (815) 288-1011 www.ywca.org

• Hotlines are always available to you during a crisis: however, it’s helpful to try and contact a domestic violence hotline about laws, support groups, shelter, and other resources available to you before you have to use them.

“Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited.”

—Romans 12: 16 NIV

“menial” work may realize that she serves others and thus act accordingly. There is a spiritual lesson here which it behooves us to pay attention to.

That is, we should be willing to do menial work and also be willing to associate with “lowly” people. People who work in the caring professions (doctors, nurses, teachers and social workers, among others) know that everyone has their cross to bear, and even the lowliest

What was dummy’s critical spot-card?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Alan Perlis, a computer scientist and professor at Yale University, said, “It is against the grain of modern education to teach children to program. What fun is there in making plans, acquiring discipline in organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self-critical?”

A bridge player should think like a programmer, going from trick to trick as if following a flow diagram. Do you win this trick? Yes, then do this; no, then later do that.

How did South program the play in this deal to maximize his chance of making four spades after West led the heart queen? North’s twono-trump response over West’s takeout double was

the Truscott convention: fourcard or longer spade support and at least game-invitational values.

South had four possible losers: one heart, one diamond and two clubs.

He had nine winners: six spades, one heart and two diamonds. Was the club ace in the East hand? Not likely, given West’s double, and especially since the heart king was marked with East from West’s lead. Declarer decided that he should try to endplay West. South played low from the dummy at trick one, the first key step.

If West had had ace-queenthird of clubs, it would have been right for East to overtake with his heart king and shift to the club jack, but that would not have worked here.

South took the second heart, drew trumps ending on the board, ruffed the heart 10, and played three rounds of diamonds. His luck was in: West had to win the trick and either lead away from the club ace or concede a ruffand-sluff. © 2016 UFS

DeVry agrees to pull advertisement claim that is lacking proof Associated Press

DeVry University is dropping one of its marquee advertisement claims after the federal government found there was no evidence to support it.

One of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest for-profit college chains, DeVry has long advertised that 90 percent of its alumni since 1975 found employment in their fields of study within 6 months of graduation. The claim has been featured in advertisements online, in magazines and over the radio since at least 2008.

But in a settlement with the Department of Education announced Thursday, the Illinoisbased chain agreed to stop using the statistic.

The department began investigating the claim last year and ordered DeVry to prove it. Federal officials say the evidence that DeVry provided ultimately fell short. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students deserve accurate information about where to invest their time and money, and the law is simple and clear: Recruitment claims must be backed up by hard data,â&#x20AC;? Education Secretary John B. King Jr. said in a statement.

DeVry officials said they provided supporting evidence from 1980 onward, but that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have detailed enough data from 1975 to 1980. In a statement provided by DeVry spokesman Ernest Gibble, company officials said they were pleased to resolve the case â&#x20AC;&#x153;in full cooperation with the department.â&#x20AC;?

The settlement requires DeVry to provide a $68 million reserve that the department can use as a form of insurance for any liabilities caused by DeVry. For example, it

could be used to help refund students if the chain suddenly shuts down. The department is also increasing its financial scrutiny of the chain.

DeVry still faces a separate lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission in January alleging deceptive advertising.

Along with the claim that DeVry agreed to drop, the commission is challenging a claim that DeVry graduates earn 15 percent more than alumni at other schools a year after graduation.

The Education Department said it will continue to support the commission in that case and to continue its own investigation into the chain.

DeVry University, one of several college chains owned by the DeVry Education Group, enrolled 26,000 undergraduate students this year at 60 campuses across the U.S., according to recent federal filings. Like many other for-profit colleges, DeVry University has suffered heavy enrollment losses since the industry peaked in 2010.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also one of many for-profit colleges facing increased pressure from the federal government.

President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administration has cracked down on the for-profit industry in recent years, adding new regulations and taking action against colleges that have been accused of deception, aggressive recruiting tactics and other misconduct.

The ITT Technical Institute chain was one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest for-profit groups until it shut down all 130 campuses in September, saying it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t survive sharp sanctions dealt by the Education Department amid accusations of fraud.

Dixon seniors beat Oregon in final match at Lancaster

DIXON – Ashlyn Horn and the rest of the Dixon Duchesses volleyball seniors had never beaten Oregon before their BNC match Thursday at Lancaster Gymnasium.

On a night where she and her classmates were honored for Senior Night, Horn had a hot hand from the service line to lead the Duchesses to a 25-19, 24-26, 25-21 win.

The night was extra special for Horn, who grew up playing with many of the Hawks players before moving to Dixon to start high school.

“It’s the first time we’ve beat Oregon in all of my high school years,” Horn said. “It was so good to finally get that win against them.”

Horn had four of the 12 aces the Duchesses (15-11, 4-4 BNC) fired off in the match. She reeled off two in a row to give her team a 20-18 third-set lead, breaking free from a tight set and putting the Duchesses up for good.

“Ashlyn Horn pulled that one off,” Duchesses senior Jessa Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com Long said. “It was a rivalry with Oregon, because she used to go Dixon’s Ellie Provo (right) leans into a kill against Oregon’s Allyse Ketter Thursday during their Big to school there. It was pretty Northern Conference match at Lancaster Gym. The Duchesses won in three sets on Senior Night. awesome for her to do that. She played her heart out.”

Star of the match: Jessa Long, Dixon, 14 kills, 11 assists Prior to Horn’s pocket aces, Key performers: Ashlyn Horn, Dixon, 4 aces; Madelyn Melvin, Dixon, 10 assists, 4 kills; Gylian Finch, the Hawks carried momentum Oregon, 6 kills, block, ace; Bailey Nelson, Oregon, 4 kills, block; Brenna Melvin, Dixon, 5 kills; Allyse after winning a close second set Ketter, Oregon, 4 kills; Aleah Wight, Oregon, 3 aces to a 15-10 lead in the third.

Sterling survives 2nd-set struggles Warriors win 1st set, then rally & hold off pesky Hubs in home win

STERLING – The first set was a breeze.

The second set was a struggle.

The Sterling Golden Warriors fought through seven ties and trailed by as many as three points in the second set before turning things around in a 25-11, 25-21 win Thursday over Rochelle.

Sterling (26-5-1, 6-0 NIB-12 West) trailed 18-15 before a kill by Mya Pearson cut into the lead. Sterling jumped ahead 21-19 thanks to another Pearson kill and a net violation before kills from Kendra DeLaTorre and Alexis Crawford brought the Hubs back.

Kaylee Martin then closed out the match with three straight kills as Sterling was able to turn things around and pull out a win.

“We talked a lot more,” junior Katelyn Smoot said. “We had good passes, good sets, great kills, just what we had at the start Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com of the first set.”

Sterling’s Kaylee Martin (right) spikes the ball past Rochelle’s Jacie Wyatt during their Sterling is closing in on an unbeaten NIB-12 West match Thursday night at Musgrove Fieldhouse.

Don’t forget Alshon J

ay Cutler was guilty of locking on to Brandon Marshall too much, and now Brian Hoyer has been charged with not getting Alshon Jeffery the ball enough.

Somewhere in between, maybe there is a happy medium for Bears quarterbacks. Good luck finding that elusive ratio. When have you known an elite wide receiver to admit he’s covered on a semi-regular basis?

Jeffery, the franchise-tag player earning $14.599 million, hasn’t publicly lobbied for the ball. He didn’t need to after Sunday’s 29-23 loss to the Colts.

On the Bears’ final possession, Hoyer missed his most productive wide receiver open behind cornerback Vontae Davis and streaking to the end zone on fourth-and-8 from the Colts’ 28-yard line.

Jeffery’s hands went to the sides of his helmet as a throw to Cameron Meredith fell incomplete. Then, his hands went to the air. When he reached the sidelined, he spiked his helmet to the turf.

“It is more disappointing that we didn’t get the win,” Jeffery said. “I saw the read [Hoyer] had. If we executed and made the play, we wouldn’t be talking about it.”

Jeffery is right. Had he caught a 28-yard touchdown in the final minute, his targets wouldn’t be a storyline coming off a victory. Hoyer has thrown the ball his way 18 times in the last three games, while targeting Kevin White (who missed the Colts game) 23 times and Meredith 20 times. Jeffery is averaging 6.2 targets per game this season. He was at 9.5 in 41 games over the previous 3 years.

Film review showed Hoyer did look Jeffery’s way. On his third throw of the game, Hoyer turned to Jeffery, who was covered, before going back to running back Jordan Howard on a play that was wiped out by penalty.

Before Hoyer hooked up with Jeffery on a 38-yard strike deep down the sideline, he looked for a similar play.

Florida will play at LSU Nov. 19 The Florida-LSU game has been rescheduled for Nov. 19 in Baton Rouge, the SEC announced.

The decision creates a brutal November slate of games for the Gators, while costing the school two home games in 2016 projected to yield $7.8 million in ticket-related revenue, a UF spokesperson told the Orlando Sentinel.

In return, LSU will visit Gainesville during the 2017 and 2018 seasons.

The decision forces UF to end the regular season with three of four road games – at Arkansas Nov. 5, at LSU Nov. 19, and at Florida State Nov. 26.

Packers’ top-rated rush defense braces for Cowboys

• Sauk Valley at Illinois Central Tournament

Football

BY GENARO C. ARMAS AP Sports Writer

7 p.m.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The toughest test yet of the season looms on Sunday for the Green Bay Packers’ league-best run defense.

No team has moved the ball better on the ground than the Dallas Cowboys so far this season.

Mike Daniels and the Packers’ defensive front against a Cowboys offensive line that paves openings for rookie tailback Ezekiel Elliott.

Strength against strength. The Packers hold opponents to 42.8 yards rushing per game. The Cowboys rush for 155.2 yards per game.

“It’s the starting point each and every week for both football teams,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said. “So it’ll be an excellent matchup.”

Elliott is only the third rookie in NFL history, after Eric Dickerson and Mike Anderson, to run for at least 130 yards in three straight games. Mobile quarterback Dak Prescott has three rushing touchdowns.

This is a good week for the Packers’ defensive front to be reinforced.

Lineman Mike Pennel is eligible to rejoin the active roster this weekend after being suspended the first four games by the NFL for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Pennel was a key backup last season, especially effective against the run.

His impending return would mean that Green Bay would have its full complement of linemen again. Tackle Letroy Guion rejoined the starting lineup last week alongside Daniels after missing a game with a knee injury.

Kenny Clark, the team’s firstround draft pick, has also played well for a rookie. Hybrid linebacker-lineman Datone Jones

Mike Daniels (76) has helped the Packers build the league’s best run defense – but no NFL team has moved the ball better on the ground this season than Sunday’s opponent, the Dallas Cowboys. has helped fill the void up front.

Now Jones may be able to focus more on pass-rushing duties.

Either way, Green Bay’s deep group of outside linebackers, led by Clay Matthews and Nick Perry, has extended the wall against the run to the edges.

“We’re all on the same page.

We’re clicking,” Perry said after practice Wednesday. “This is our opportunity to be the best ... to be aggressive and to compete on all downs.”

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett has taken notice. The Packers, he said, play well against the run regardless of whether Green Bay is in its base 3-4 defense, or if a fifth defensive back is on the field in what would normally be passing situations.

Garrett also likes how his offense has improved running the ball no matter the defense.

“There are certainly a lot of areas where we have to get

better,” Garrett said, “but we’re doing a good job coming off the ball, getting into blocks and finding places for runners to run.

The runners are running well.”

Ellliott, a 6-foot, 225-pound rookie, will certainly be tough to bring down. But keep in mind that the Packers have already held Vikings running back Adrian Peterson to 19 yards on 12 carries in Week 2 before Peterson got hurt.

But facing a mobile quarterback such as Prescott presents the Packers with a new challenge this season. McCarthy said handling the Cowboys’ play-action game will be important.

“Obviously they’re stacked in their numbers in the run game.

So maybe we’ll have to throw it a little bit more,” Prescott said in a conference call. “But that’s a great defense that they’ve got over there. We’re excited for the challenge.”

Jeffery needs more targets to flaunt big-play ability BIGGS

CONTINUED FROM B1 Hoyer faked a handoff and had Jeffery running a go route down the left sideline, with Meredith running a deep corner route on the opposite side. He looked to Jeffery, but Davis and safety Mike Adams had him bracketed. The other safety, Clayton Geathers, was even leaning to Jeffery’s side before Hoyer came back to Meredith for an 18-yard completion.

“I had to deal with this last year with DeAndre Hopkins,” Hoyer said. “It’s just the way it goes. You can either be stubborn and try to force the ball to guys when it really shouldn’t be, and that is when you can get yourself into trouble or even worse is getting Al hurt. You throw it up and he’s got a corner and a safety. And that’s the thing. Similar to Hopkins, he has the ability to go up and get the ball, and when you do that, you start getting shots to the ribs, tipped balls, interceptions.

“So for me, it’s go through the progression and if they want to take him away, then we’ve got to make them pay in other ways.”

The Colts were determined not to let Jeffery beat them and adjusted their coverage accordingly, shadowing him with Davis after halftime. Play-calling goes

AP

Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery (17) has 22 receptions for 394 yards this year, but has not found the end zone. into it, too. The Colts went with a seven-man pressure on thirdand-5 from the 6-yard line at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Jeffery was tightly covered on a fade route to the right, and Hoyer made a low-percentage throw to Eddie Royal on a corner route that went incomplete, leading to a field goal. Had Jeffery been running a slant or an in-breaking route, Davis would not have had any help. If Jeffery wins the first few steps of the route, it’s an easy touchdown.

The Bears have been piling up yardage, ranking ninth in the league. But they haven’t been scoring enough, and Jeffery has gone without a touch-

down for five games, the longest drought of his career. Jeffery is tied with Royal, among others, for 49th in the NFL with 31 targets, and that’s not enough.

He is averaging 17.9 yards per catch, ninth among receivers with at least 10 receptions.

Jeffery wants a longterm deal similar to the riches received by Julio Jones, A.J. Green and Dez Bryant last season, and he’s going to have a hard time making a case for it if he doesn’t get the ball more.

Still, he’s on pace for 70 catches for 1,261 yards. Nice numbers, but not the kind that are rewarded with $40 million guaranteed.

Probably not the kind of numbers you want

from a player earning more than $14 million.

“I think they have connected,” coach John Fox said of Jeffery and Hoyer. “If you look at his yards per catch, they’re up there. The one thing Brian has done is spread the ball around quite a bit. To say that Alshon hasn’t been that involved, I don’t know I agree with that. He’s made some big plays and he’s got that kind of ability, and Brian realizes that.”

Hoyer locked on to Hopkins plenty last season, targeting him 10.8 times in nine starts for the Texans.

“As a quarterback, you don’t want to get into the game of forcing things. I think that is where turnovers and bad plays come from,” Hoyer said. “I’m going to go through the reads the way I am coached, and I don’t discriminate. I don’t care if it’s [tight end] Logan [Paulsen] or the back.

That’s just the way it goes. It’s been working. We just have to get some more touchdowns.”

Hoyer isn’t comfortable forcing the ball into tight spots, but Jeffery is so good winning one-on-one balls downfield that it’s something the Bears need to do more. He doesn’t have to be streaking wide open to pick up chunks of yardage.

It takes some daring to maximize the talents of a player like Jeffery.

It’s time to look his way more.

King at Kansas Harvick hopes to continue recent success

BY TOD PALMER Kansas City Star

An oil-pressure issue is an inconvenience for most people.

It might be a seasonkiller for Kevin Harvick, who finished 38th because of engine issues on Sunday at Charlotte Motor Speedway in the first race of the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup’s Round of 12.

If there was any good news for Harvick, who started on the pole for the race, it’s that he wasn’t alone in misfortune.

Four other Chase drivers – Denny Hamlin, Austin Dillon, Chase Elliott and Joey Logano – also ran into trouble and finished 30th or worse.

Harvick currently sits in 12th place among the Round of 12 drivers, but he’s only eight points behind Hamlin for the all-important eighth and final transfer spot into the next round of the Chase.

Harvick, the 2014 Sprint Cup champion, now heads to a track he’s dominated in recent years, with four top-two finishes in his last six races at Kansas Speedway.

If Harvick, who won the fall race at Kansas in 2013 and finished second in the last three spring races, can notch his second win at the 1.5-mile tri-oval during Sunday’s Hollywood Casino 400, the points deficit won’t matter.

“It’s become a race track that we look forward to going to and hopefully we’ll continue to get good results at, because it’s been so good to us in the past,” Harvick said.

AP

Kevin Harvick won the pole last week in Charlotte, but was one of five Chase drivers to finish 30th or worse in the opening race of the Round of 12.

Now, he hopes to continue his recent success at Kansas Speedway to keep his title hopes alive.

Harvick hasn’t always had such affinity for Kansas. He finished better than sixth only once in his first 15 Cup races at the track.

“The repave is definitely what changed there at Kansas,” he said. “I liked the racetrack the way that it was before, with the asphalt all worn out and cars sliding all over.

But once the repave happened, we were really able to hit on some things and, for whatever reason, it kind of fits my driving style.”

With a Chase cutoff race looming next week at Talladega Superspeedway, there’s a premium on claiming the checkered flag – and the accompanying guaranteed spot in

the Chase’s Round of 8 – at Kansas.

“Sometimes, you can’t control the circumstances, which is why you have to go after wins,” Harvick said.

“You never know when a track bar mount is going to break, or a part is going to fail, or you’re going to be a couple inches from going a lap down or staying on the lead lap.”

Harvick has become NASCAR’s “Mr. Consistency,” with five topthree finishes in the final points standings during the last six seasons. He was eighth in 2012.

No other driver has more than Jimmie Johnson’s three top-three finishes in that span.

“That’s always been something that has been instilled in me from a young age, just from the fact that you had to get to the pay window at some point when we were racing late models and Southwest Tour cars,” Harvick said. “You had to get something out of the day to maximize the winnings that you were going to get, so you could come back next week.”

Harvick’s consistency also was on display entering the Chase. He has a Sprint Cup-best 22 top-10 finishes this season, including 10 in the last 12 races before the Chase started.

“I don’t know if it’s just that combination of he and [crew chief] Rodney [Childers], but they have figured out how to get him really comfortable, and Kevin knows what he needs to be good on race day,” friend and Stewart-Haas team coowner Tony Stewart said.

“I used to be that way years ago, but these cars are so technical. … I have a hard time getting it to the point where I want it to be on Saturday, let alone try to figure out what I need to have for Sunday. Kevin is really good at understanding what he needs that car to do at the end of Saturday to be good on Sunday.”

Unfortunately, that consistency hasn’t shown up in the Chase, with three finishes of 20th or worse in the first four playoff races.

The exception was a win at New Hampshire Motor Speedway 2 weeks ago that punched his ticket into the Round of 12, a feat he’d love to recreate Sunday in Kansas.

Poor starts change dynamic Five drivers fighting for Chase lives the next 2 weeks

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The excitement level over the next two Chase races could very well vary from fan to fan.

As teams have adjusted to the elimination format of NASCAR’s playoffs, the goals now differ depending on where each driver sits in the standings.

Because five Chase drivers had trouble at Charlotte, Brad Keselowski believes the dynamic has changed for the rest of the field.

“The reality is, if you have a pretty good gap, you’re probably going to take a log off the fire,” Keselowski said.

The opening race of the second round of the Chase saw five drivers finish 30th or worse, and now only eight points separate Denny Hamlin in eighth place from Kevin Harvick in 12th. Four drivers will be eliminated after Talladega next week, and Keselowski believes the paring will “absolutely” be four of the five currently sitting at the bottom of the standings.

Under his theory, Denny Hamlin, Austin Dillon, Chase Elliott, Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick are racing each other Sunday at Kansas Speedway and next week at Talladega. The rest of the field is simply

AP

With five Chase drivers having dismal finishes last week in the Round of 12 opener, Brad Keselowski believes the whole dynamic of the rest of the Chase field has changed for the next two races. trying to “live to fight another day.”

What exactly does that mean? Well, the remaining drivers in the field may not take many risks, because there’s no need to put it all on the line.

They have breathing room from the bottom of the field right now, and aren’t desperate for victories or track position.

A year ago, Logano opened the second round of the Chase with a win at Charlotte that earned him an automatic berth in the third round. The next week, he raced Matt Kenseth very hard in the closing laps at Kansas to snatch away a win that Kenseth needed to get into the third round.

The victory was nothing more than a trophy

for Logano, and had far more meaning to Kenseth’s playoff hopes. It ignited a feud that ultimately knocked Logano out of the playoffs in the next round.

“Everyone saw what happened with Joey, and they’re not going to do that to themselves,” Keselowski said of his teammate. “It’s like basketball: you want to make sure you don’t have a bunch of fouls and aren’t worn out when the fourth quarter comes, because it seems like those are always five-point games in the fourth quarter. So don’t be in a spot to foul out.

Make sure you’ve got your legs beneath you.”

Now that the current Chase format is 2 years old, he also believes

teams will race to do whatever is needed to make it into the next round. As an example, he used the 2014 race at Texas Motor Speedway, where Keselowski went three-wide on a late restart to make contact with Jeff Gordon. It led to a cut tire for Gordon that cost him a shot at the win, and Gordon punched Keselowski on pit road after the race.

“That was a race I had to win, and I knew he didn’t have to win it,” Keselowski said. “All he had to do was run like fourth or even 10th. In the moment when I made the move and we got together and he ended up blowing a tire, I was shocked that he didn’t know the situation.

“Like, how do you not know the situation? I’m behind you with newer tires, you’re not getting a good restart, all you need to do is run fifth.

Know the situation.”

Asked if all of this “hurts” the excitement level, Keselowski said it will be in the eye of the beholder.

“How do you define hurt? If you’re a fan of mine or anyone who has the ability to [advance] through consistency? If you’re a fan of someone who is out and has to dig real deep to make it through? I think it could be very exciting,” he said. “I think it’s just a matter of perspective.”

NIB-12 West perfection Sterling soccer completes unbeaten conference record

By SVM Sports Staff

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Sterling’s Mya Pearson hits the ball during the Warriors’ home match Thursday night against Rochelle. Pearson finished with five kills.

Rochelle blocking sparks back-and-forth second set SURVIVES

CONTINUED FROM B1

“We had to play to our potential and remember that we are three games away from a goal that we set at the beginning of the season,” Martin said.

“We remember that every game counts, and we can’t take this game too lightly.”

Sterling jumped out to an early 6-1 lead in the set, but a block and a kill from Morgan Knight sparked a rally which saw the Hubs tie the score at 6-6 as they looked to have Knight put up a block against Martin.

“We slowed her down a little bit in the beginning of that second game, and maybe that gave us some momentum,” Rochelle coach John Pfaff said.

“Morgan got over there and posted blocks. She helped out Jacie [Wyatt] on a couple tight sets. I do think the one thing that helped us in Game 2 was our passing got a lot better.”

A couple of kills from Martin and one from Miranda Williams put Sterling back on top before Rochelle again answered. Crawford got a kill from an overpass to put the Hubs in the lead 12-11.

“Sometimes it’s hard to match intensity and match some of the things that you do,” Sterling

coach Dale Dykeman said. “We talked at the turn [between sets] about maintaining our level, and we went after them pretty hard in that first set. Sometimes girls kind of relax and take a breath.

In volleyball, a step, an inch, a breath is the difference between putting the ball in system and putting it out of bounds.”

Three aces from Smoot helped Sterling jump out to a 5-1 lead in the first set. The Warriors then fed the ball to Martin, who had five kills in Sterling’s first 10 points.

Sterling pulled away with a stretch where four different players came up with a kill in the span of five points – Martin, Gretchen Gould, Jozlyn Garcia and Josi Borum.

The other point in that stretch came from an ace

by Olivia Pilgrim.

“It was fun, and it was just ourselves,” Martin said. “We were passing, setting, blocking, serving.

We were just doing everything right.”

Sterling got off to a good start in the second set, before Rochelle answered.

“I think they played a little bit better, and I think we played a little bit worse,” Martin said.

Martin finished with 13 kills, and Pearson added five. Borum had 22 assists, and Cara Alexander had five digs.

The Sterling soccer team capped off an unbeaten conference schedule and its third straight NIB-12 West title with a 6-3 win over Rochelle Thursday at Roscoe Eades Stadium.

Tony Diaz scored twice, and the Warriors also got goals from Miguel Gallardo, Noah Garcia, Arnulfo Valdivia and Adrian Herrera.

Sterling’s Cara Alexander sets the ball during the Warriors’ home match against Rochelle on Thursday night. She had five digs, and at one point served up a run of six straight points in the first set.

The Hawks had 10 kills during a 23-point span after a secondset tie at 19, with Oregon coach Faith Watson attributing it to an increase in hustle.

Despite the loss, Watson still had high praise for her team about the way they stayed competitive throughout the match. Gylian Finch led the Hawks with six kills and a block, Bailey Nelson had four kills and a block, and Aleah Wight had three aces.

“We ended with a loss, but a loss isn’t necessarily a bad thing,” Watson said. “Our effort and our hustle were definitely they best I’ve seen in a long time in the end of the second game and toward the beginning of the third. We’ll take it as a win in our book.”

Dixon led wire-to-wire in its firstset win, with the Hawks getting as close as 14-13. After a Hawks hitting error, Long fired off three straight kills from the left corner and tipped another for a four-point string.

Long finished with 14 kills and 11 assists.

“We’ve been having a rough season before this,” Long said, “and everything just came together for Senior Night, and that’s pretty nice.”

“We brought our ‘A’ game tonight,” Horn said. “It was surprising, because we were all emotional from it being Senior Night. We just really wanted to get that win.”

Settling into a new 6-2 rotation,

the Duchesses put together one of the their better matches of the second half of the season, one in which they’ve struggled.

“They just really wanted it tonight,” Dixon coach Bunyan

Cocar said. “I haven’t seen them play with that much intensity most of the season. They really wanted to beat Oregon on Senior Night. They were motivated, and executed when they needed to.”

MLB | CHICAGO CUBS

From the mouths of babes Young Cubs fans put no stock in curses, century of futility

BY DON BABWIN Associated Press

CHICAGO – Kaitlin Reap didn’t listen when her dad tried to warn her about the lifetime of misery waiting for her if she cheered for the Chicago Cubs. She rejected his invitation to share with him the joys of being a St. Louis Cardinals fan. And all his talk about curses simply guaranteed him a daughter who wants nothing to do with goats.

“I want to be a Cubs fan,” said Kaitlin, a 9-year-old third grader at Saint Andrew School, less than a mile from Wrigley Field. “I think they’re going to win.”

Cubs fans everywhere are hoping for a World Series championship for the first time since 1908, and they have a loaded team this time, one that piled up the most wins in the majors this season.

But there is also fear – the kind of fear that is handed down from generation to generation in Chicago, the kind that comes from heartbreak after heartbreak, the kind that is fed by billy goat curses (1945), black cats (1969), and infamous plays (looking at you, Steve Bartman).

Cubs fans know this feeling as well as they know their way to the friendly confines.

They’ve grown up with it.

Except, that is, for the fans who haven’t finished growing up.

For Kaitlin and her schoolmates, there is optimism that the Cubs will win it all this year and, if not, they will certainly end the long championship drought by the time they leave Saint Andrew.

AP

Young Cubs fans (from left) Sean Leahy, Kaitlin Reap, Addison Casavechia, Connor Burns (blue shirt), Quinn Roberts and Max Oldham, who all attend schools near Wrigley Field, are confident in their team’s chances to win the World Series.

At nearby Hawthorne Scholastic Academy, the only fear is that the principal won’t let them out of class to watch the parade they know is coming.

The way these kids see it, all those older fans are being a little silly.

“People are a little paranoid [because] it hasn’t happened, but it might be a coincidence that they haven’t won in a while,” said Max Oldham, an 11-year-old sixth grader at Saint Andrew.

All that talk about paranoia, not to mention referring to 108 years as “a while,” might have something to do with parents who have protected their children from what they know and what they have witnessed for themselves.

“We have not told him about Bartman,” said Cy Oldham, who saw what unfolded from the left field bleachers after she and her husband decided to postpone their honeymoon so they could attend the playoffs. “We try not to dwell on that time, [and] it is not something we want to sit down and say, so, ‘Let me tell you how bad things used to be.’”

Addison Casavechia could not help knowing about those times, not with a first name that her parents chose because they liked the way it sounded – and because Wrigley Field is on Addison Street. That might explain why the 11-year-old sixth grader doesn’t think the Cubs

will win it all this year.

“I have my bets for next year because we’ll have Kyle Schwarber back,” she said of the player who suffered a seasonending knee injury early this season.

Her mother, the assistant principal at Saint Andrew, doesn’t want to see her daughter suffer. But Sarah Casavechia also sees rooting for the Cubs as part of growing up in Chicago.

“I think being a Cubs fan is like taking a leap of faith every year, it’s like falling in love,” she said. “You know there’s a chance you’re going to get your heart broken, but you do it anyway.”

That’s not to say the kids haven’t taken steps they hope might prevent the kind of misery that their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents experienced in seasons past.

Bennett Patterson, a 12-year-old seventh grader at Hawthorne, makes sure to watch Cubs games accompanied by one of the white flags with the blue W on it, the kind the Cubs have been flying for years after a win and which now wave from houses and car antennas all over the city.

These being the playoffs, Patterson knows he has to take things a step further: “I wear a W flag as a cape to watch the game.”

As for Kaitlin, she doesn’t believe her team is cursed. Still, she had something to say after her dad told her about Billy Sianis, who put a curse on the Cubs after the team wouldn’t let his goat attend the 1945 World Series.

“I am a little mad at that goat,” she said.

Kershaw, Dodgers get it done L.A. ace picks up first career save in Game 5 win over Nationals

BY HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer

AP

The Dodgers’ Joc Pederson (31) celebrates his solo home run with teammates Yasmani Grandal (9) and Andrew Toles (60) during the seventh inning Thursday against the Nationals in Game 5 of their National League Division Series in Washington.

WASHINGTON – Clayton Kershaw got the final two outs to earn his first major league save and finish the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals in Game 5 to win their NL Division Series on Thursday.

Entering with runners on first and second and one out in the ninth inning after 12:30 a.m. local time on Friday, Kershaw got Daniel Murphy to pop out and struck out Wilmer Difo to send L.A. to the NL Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs.

Kershaw was pitching 2 days after going 6 2/3 innings in Game 4. The

three-time NL Cy Young Award winner was making his first relief appearance since the 2009 playoffs.

Kershaw entered after regular Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen threw a career-high 51 pitches while getting a careerhigh seven outs after entering in the seventh.

L.A. trailed 1-0 before a four-run seventh – an inning that took more than an hour to complete – off six Nationals pitchers, including Joc Pederson’s homer off Max Scherzer, and Justin Turner’s two-run triple off Shawn Kelley.

The Dodgers won the last two games of the best-of-five NLDS.

Chargers finally hang on for victory Rivers sets franchise record as San Diego holds onto late lead

BY BERNIE WILSON AP Sports Writer

SAN DIEGO – Philip Rivers threw for 178 yards and one touchdown, passing Hall of Famer Dan Fouts to become San Diego’s career passing leader, and the Chargers held off the Denver Broncos 21-13 on Thursday night.

Rivers, in his 13th season with the Chargers and 11th as starter, has 43,094 career yards passing. Fouts threw for 43,040 yards in 15 seasons with the Bolts.

The victory may have saved embattled coach Mike McCoy’s job. The Chargers (2-4) were coming off a mistake-filled

loss at Oakland, and earlier in the season lost three games in which they led at the 2-minute warning.

There has been increasing fan discontent with the conservative McCoy, and the Chargers are trying to convince voters to approve a $1.1 billion public handout for a new downtown stadium in the form of an increase in the hotel occupancy tax.

The defending Super Bowl champion Broncos were coached by special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis after Gary AP Kubiak was ordered by doctors to sit this one out Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (13) is brought because of a migraine con- down by Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa during dition that mimics strokes. the first half Thursday in San Diego.

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))

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You can make some changes to your financial situation. Start by looking into ways to boost your income. An opportunity to negotiate with someone or submit your resume looks rewarding.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Do whatever it takes to make love and romance priorities.

Sharing special moments will bring you and a loved one closer together. Physical improvements will turn out well. A short trip will expose someone’s ulterior motives.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Refuse to let anyone trick you into taking on responsibilities that don’t belong to you.

Partnerships can be good, but only if they are equitable.

Negotiate on your behalf.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Emotional discord will set you back. Don’t exaggerate, or you will be held accountable for your shortsightedness.

Work on honing your skills and preparing your pitch before you offer to make a presentation.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Emotions should be reined in before you do or say something you will regret. Focus on making personal and financial improvements and striving to reach your goals and motivate others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Keep close tabs on your emotions.

You won’t be thinking clearly when dealing with personal issues. Get the facts straight before you make a decision regarding your health or emotional well-being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Think about the best way to go about getting things done.

Taking on responsibility for something you believe in will enhance your reputation. Put muscle behind your ideas.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Let your creative side take charge and see where it leads. Partnerships should be a priority, whether they be personal or professional. Don’t feel obliged to take on someone else’s responsibilities.
