Advance Auto closing Moving its employees, inventory to Clinton location

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

STERLING – After only 2 years in town, Advance Auto Parts, 2930 E. Lincolnway, is closing up shop.

Wednesday is its last day.

Messages scrawled on the windows let passersby know that some items are on sale for up to 50 percent off.

The store’s inventory and some of its 10 or so employees are moving to its Clinton, Iowa, location, according to a banner on the building. That store is now Advance’s closest location.

The company’s second-quarter earnings report for this year shows overall growth, and cites the “ongoing process of store evaluations” to accelerate next year’s profit goals.

Fifty of more than 5,000 stores are scheduled for closure, according to the report, but locations are not listed. Calls to the business Thursday were referred to media relations, and were not immediately returned.

Advance Auto Parts was the fifth national auto parts chain to move to the area, joining AutoZone, Carquest, NAPA Auto Parts and O’Reilly Auto Parts.

The 6,500-square-foot Sterling location was one of 200 new Advance Auto Parts stores, spokeswoman Shelly Whitaker said in 2013.

Advance Auto Parts services professional mechanics and customers who work on their own cars. It offers some free services, such as replacing batteries and windshield wiper blades.

The site, between the Fifth Third Bank and East Lincolnway, previously was owned by the mall. Watkins Sterling LLC has owned the building since December 2013.

OREGON | BLACK HAWK STATUE

Still under wraps, repairs Goal is to finish fixes next summer

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawmedia.com Shaw Media

OREGON – Restoration work on the Black Hawk statue should be completed next summer, project engineer Amy Lamb-Woods said.

Workers began cleaning the statue this summer and doing mock-ups to see what materials would work best for the repairs.

“We are still in the mockup phase, and [Conservation of Sculpture & Objects Studio in Forest Park] is still working on submittals and samples,” Lamb-Woods, with Chicago-based Simpson Gumpertz & Heger, said in an email Tuesday.

Horse-drawn wagon rides, the corn maze, petting farm, haunted house and Little Spook’s Playhouse”all have individual admission costs, but youngsters can experience all of it for $6. For the full-size autumn aficionados, the market has a variety of food and drinks – including cider and apple cider doughnuts, of course. And it goes without saying that you can buy pumpkins of all sizes at the 60-plus-year-old farm, for 35 cents a pound.

CHICAGO | HUSH-MONEY CASE

Attorney: Hastert intends to plead guilty Plea deal would avert trial that could divulge details on alleged misconduct CHICAGO (AP) – Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert intends to plead guilty in a hush-money case linked to allegations of sexual misconduct, a defense attorney said Thursday. It’s a move that could ensure that any secrets from his days as a high school wrestling coach are never revealed in public.

A written plea agreement should be completed by Monday, attorney John Gallo told a federal judge during a brief status hearing. At the attorney’s request, the judge set Oct. 28 as the date for the 73-year-old Illinois Republican to change his plea.

Defendants typically agree to plead guilty in

hopes of a more lenient sentence.

A plea deal would also avert a trial that could Dennis divulge more Hastert about the alleged misconduct behind the criminal charges.

Neither Gallo nor prosecutors offered details about any possible deal, including which counts Hastert would plead guilty to or whether the man who was

once second in the line of succession for the presidency would go to prison.

Hastert did not attend Thursday’s hearing.

He faces one count of breaking banking laws and one count of lying to the FBI about agreeing to pay $3.5 million to someone referred to in the indictment only as “Individual A.� The money was supposedly to hide claims of unspecified past misconduct.

A plea deal would mean

ILLINOIS | MEDICAL MARIJUANA

that Individual A, who has never been identified, would not have to testify about receiving any of the money. The Associated Press and other media, citing anonymous sources, have reported that the payments were meant to conceal claims of sexual misconduct.

In all, Hastert withdrew $1.7 million from 2010 to 2014, according to the indictment.

Prosecutors are probably seeking a prison sen-

tence. It would be unusual for them to entertain the possibility of probation on such serious charges.

Each count is punishable by up to 5 years behind bars.

When Hastert was charged in May, the indictment noted he had taught and coached high school wrestling from 1965 to 1981 in close-knit Yorkville, a suburb west of Chicago. That strongly suggests the charges are linked to that history.

ILLINOIS LOTTERY

Samples set for safety, potency tests Payments of more

than $600 on hold

UIC obtains OK to move forward CHICAGO (AP) – Another important element is falling into place for Illinois residents to begin using medical marijuana: A lab at University of Illinois at Chicago has obtained state approval to conduct safety and potency testing.

Though a second approved Chicago-area lab has lost its funding because of the pilot program’s low patient count, UIC lab director Karl Larsen said Tuesday his lab is ready to start testing marijuana samples for harmful substances on the plants as well as drug potency.

Until now, the lab has focused on testing racehorses for performanceenhancing drugs, and Larsen hopes revenue from marijuana testing will make up for a decline in lab fees from horse racing in the state, he said. “We thought it would be a good field for us to help ensure when people get medical marijuana, they’ll have a good product and a safe product,�

Larsen said.

UIC will test marijuana for harmful microbes, poisons from fungus, pesticides and solvents – all according to standards spelled out in state regulations, which are more rigid than those on the books in other states but match the industry’s highest voluntary standards, experts said.

Retail sales of medical marijuana are expected to begin in state-licensed dispensaries by early November. “Sales will begin after cultivation centers are given the opportunity to test medical cannabis products with a lab

Lead grower Dave Wilson cares for marijuana plants Sept. 15 in the Flower Room at the Ataraxia medical marijuana cultivation center in Albion. Another important element is falling into place for Illinoisans to begin using medical marijuana: A University of Illinois at Chicago lab has obtained state approval to do safety and potency testing. approved by the Department of Agriculture,�

Joseph Wright, director of the state’s medical cannabis pilot program, wrote in an email to The Associated Press.

Nine cultivation centers have state approval to begin growing and at least two have begun harvesting. Dispensaries in Mundelein, Canton and Quincy have active state licenses and are ready to open when products are on the shelves and patients receive their state-issued ID cards.

Illinois has approved just 3,100 patients for the program, far fewer than investors had expected.

That has led David So’s ICR Labs in suburban Chicago to lose its financial backing, he said. “Our lead investor just walked away from the deal because we have such a low patient count,� So told the AP. “It puts me in a very tough place.�

Setting safety standards is a tricky business that has stymied other states.

The federal government considers marijuana an illegal substance, so no federal agency has set safety requirements for which pesticides can be used. Last week, two marijuana users in Colorado filed a lawsuit against a commercial grower they said used an unhealthy pesticide, a case lawyers say is the first product liability claim in the nation involving the legal marijuana industry.

Without federal safety guidelines for cannabis consumption, Illinois based its safety requirements on best practices in other states, said Bob Morgan, the program’s former coordinator who stepped down in May to work as an attorney at a Chicago law firm. “Experts at the Illinois Department of Agriculture set a standard that ensured safety for patients with compromised immune systems,� said Morgan, who helped write the state’s cannabis regulations. “Yet even today, the most advanced

Dine Out Day

cannabis industry states are struggling with appropriate pesticide use and contaminant testing for the product.�

Illinois has regulations in place that match or surpass the voluntary best practices for safety in other states, said Howard Lutz, CEO of Iron Laboratories, a 5-year-old company based in suburban Detroit that tests cannabis for safety and potency in Michigan and Oregon. “Overall, I think they’re great. They run pretty close to the standards we follow here in Michigan,� said Claire Moore, head plant biologist at Iron Laboratories.

CHICAGO (AP) – People who win more than $600 in the Illinois Lottery won’t get their money right away because of the ongoing state budget impasse, as officials said Thursday that the agency coffers had run out of money.

Last month, the Illinois comptroller’s office said that without a budget for the July 1 fiscal year, the office didn’t have the authority to write checks of more than $25,000 and payments would be delayed.

Lottery officials said Wednesday that they anticipated the agency’s check writing account would be exhausted the next day and that there was no legal authority to replenish it. As of Thursday morning, the account – used to pay winnings between

UNVERSITY OF ILLINOIS

AP

Police talk to a man through a fence while serving paperwork Thursday at the Word of Life church in New Hartford, New York. Bruce and Deborah Leonard have been charged in the beating death of their son, Lucas, and the severe beating of his 17-year-old brother, Christopher, inside the church Sunday.

Details from parents on beating differ NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. (AP) – Parents charged with beating their teenage son to death inside a church are giving diverging versions of what happened, though lawyers for both said Thursday the couple hadn’t intended the brutality that unfolded.

An attorney for the mother, Deborah Leonard, said she felt helpless to stop an “intervention” that spiraled into severe punishment by others at Word of Life church. But a lawyer for the father, Bruce Leonard, said the incident stemmed from a family meeting that had nothing to do with the church.

Police have said a spiritual counseling session devolved into violence Sunday night at the Word of Life Christian Church, as members tried to get Lucas Leonard, 19, and his 17-yearold brother, Christopher, to confess sins and seek forgiveness. After hours of being pounded with fists and kicked, the elder teen died and his brother was hospitalized with serious injuries.

“We want to understand why this happened, how

this session got so out of control that it cost the life of a young man,” New Hartford police Chief Michael Inserra said in an interview Thursday.

Police say they aren’t certain why the teens were being punished.

Deborah Leonard “went along with” others in a church where she had worshipped for years, not anticipating how harsh the intervention would become, said her lawyer, Devin Garramone.

“This woman is so meek and timid, she didn’t have the temerity to stand up to them and say, ‘You’re not punishing my kid. You’re not doing this,’” said Garramone, adding that he believed she didn’t cause the fatal injuries.

Bruce Leonard’s lawyer, Donald Gerace, said the episode “could just as well have taken place outside the church.” He said the Leonards had no intention of seriously injuring their son.

The parents and four others arrested in the beatings – including the victims’ 33-year-old sister, Sarah Ferguson – are due in court today.

From costume to campus celebrity Cost of restoration Senior stands in as Kim Jong Un impersonator

BY JULIE WURTH The News-Gazette Distributed by The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN – He’s got the suit. The haircut. The scowl. And the strut.

While not a dead-ringer for North Korea’s “dear leader,” Minyong Kim prompts lots of doubletakes at the University of Illinois.

The UI senior from South Korea has parlayed his resemblance to Kim Jong Un into a part-time hobby, part-time acting career. And he must be approaching a record for most “selfied” man on campus.

“I would say, at least 200 to 300 times per day, usually like 40 to 50 times per hour,” he said.

A 10-minute stroll Wednesday through the College of Business campus in his North Koreanstyle black suit proved his point. He was stopped for a half-dozen photo ops – and got lots of other smiles and sidelong glances.

His favorite, though, was a commercial for an air purifier where he was the main character, developing new weapons to kill germs in the air. “It was really fun,” he said.

Most of the reaction on campus has been positive, though one student group working toward freedom for North Korea has criticized him for making light of the repressive regime.

And Kim says not all Americans recognize his impersonation.

“That’s the shocking thing,” he said. “Kim Jong Un is one of the most famous guys in the world, same as Obama.”

REPAIRS

CONTINUED FROM A1

The studio and the engineering firm were hired by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to repair the 104-year-old Lorado Taft statue, which stands on a high bluff overlooking the Rock River at Lowden State Park.

Time and weather have caused portions of its exterior to crumble.

The critical areas are the folded arms, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe.

The statue was encased in plastic mesh last win-

ter to protect it from further damage from cold, ice, and snow. That protective covering has been left in place because it is also rain-proof and allows the crew to work in wet weather.

Placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, the statue was named to a less desirable list in April: Landmarks Illinois’ Most Endangered Historic Places.

The cost of the restoration is estimated at $825,000, of which nearly $750,000 has been raised by the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, led by Frank and Charron Rausa of Sterling, through donations, grants, and fundraisers.

EDUCATION

Helping the homeless: A grand idea Rock Falls students will hunker down in a box and try to raise $1,000

BY JERMAINE PIGEE jpigee@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5525 @JPigee84

ROCK FALLS – Rock Falls High School students will brave the elements Friday night for a good cause.

To raise money for the homeless, and to raise awareness, about 25 Junior Optimist Club members will sacrifice their warm beds in exchange for cardboard boxes, which will be set up in front of the high school, 101 12th Ave. Donations will go to the Twin Cities Public Action to Deliver Shelter, better known as PADS. This is the fourth year RFHS students are participating, and this year won’t be a walk in the park. They’ll be outside

from about 9 p.m. until 8 a.m, and will spend at least part of that nearly 12 hours in temperatures that are forecast to drop below freezing at night.

“The students will be out there Friday night after the RFHS football game against Dixon,” said Tom DePasquale, adviser of the Junior Optimist Club.

“People can just drive by to donate to the cause.”

Canned foods and paper products will be accepted, but cash, or checks made payable to RFHS or PADS, are preferred.

The students hope to top the $750 they raised last year and hit $1,000 this year.

Questions will fill Quiz Bowl Over the next few weeks, students from Sauk Valley

schools will compete for Northern Illinois University scholarships at the Bergstrom Stateline Quiz Bowl.

The televised competition will begin its 31-week run Saturday, when Dixon High School and Auburn take part in a half-hour cerebral showdown in which students will try to buzz in first, and answer correctly, during a rapid-fire question-and-answer competition.

Questions cover math, science, social studies, English literature/ mythology, arts and music, and miscellaneous topics. The winner between Dixon and Auburn will move on to the next round, slated for Feb. 6. The loser? Better luck next year.

Food drive: To donate

Donations can be made anytime at Rock Falls High School, 101 12th Ave, Rock Falls. People can also visit the students and donate during their overnight stay from 9 p.m. Friday to 8 a.m. Saturday in front of the high school.

For more information, call 815-625-3886, ext. 175.

Donations can also be made at the Sterling shelter, 111 E. 29th St., or by calling 815-626-2210. Find the shelter on Facebook to learn more.

Quiz Bowl: To track and watch

Fall is here – along with field fires and fender-benders with deer State: Beware of wandering deer

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Sterling and Rock Falls fire crews battled a bean field fire Thursday afternoon off of the Rock Island Blacktop, near Rock Falls. Dry and windy conditions have made farm fields ripe for field fires, and dry conditions are likely to continue until at least Wednesday, when the first chance of rain pops up into the forecast.

GREAT THINGS HAPPEN WHEN WE LIVE UNITED

Rockford news anchor Nick Toma will serve as the host, and will test the knowledge of students from 32 high schools, up from the 22 last year.

The competition can been seen at 6:30 p.m. Saturdays on WTVO channel 17 and at 9:30 p.m. Sunday on WQRF channel 39.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – It’s not always clear why deer cross the road, but it is clear many don’t make it.

That’s the message from Illinois conservation officials who warn motorists to be on the lookout for deer – especially this time of year. They note deer have a habit of stepping into traffic.

According to the agency officials, last year there were more than 15,000 instances in which motor vehicles crashed into deer – with nearly half of them coming in October, November and December.

The Illinois Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Illinois State Police say most of the accidents happened on rural roads at twilight or at night.

The most deer-versus-vehicle crashes last year happened in Cook and Madison counties, each of which recorded 428.

WWII vet honored posthumously MACHESNEY PARK (AP) – A veteran of World War II has received the Bronze Star just months after his death.

Kenneth Hevrin was awarded the medal posthumously Tuesday. The Byron man died in June at 88, shortly after beginning the process to receive the medal.

The Rockford RegisterStar reported that U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a Republican from Channahon, presented the medal to Hevrin’s daughter, Beverly Paoli, at the Illinois National Guard Base in Machesney Park.

The Bronze Star is awarded for valor. It is the fourthhighest military decoration.

SPRINGFIELD SCOOP | ‘THE SHARING ECONOMY’

Lifeblood of free enterprise Competition, however, isn’t welcome in some quarters CHICAGO – Last week, I ordered my first Uber ride.

Normally when I take the train to Chicago from Springfield, I hail a cab to get to my hotel from Union Station.

But last week, Chicago cab drivers went on strike – to protest Uber.

This presented an excellent opportunity for travelers – such as myself – to try something new.

Uber is a ridesharing company. It allows potential passengers to use a smartphone application to connect with drivers of vehicles for hire.

So I downloaded an Uber application to my phone and requested a ride.

Moments later, a Volkswagen pulled to the curb, and I hopped in.

The driver immigrated to the United States from Colombia. During the

day, he works as a valet parker, and in the evening, he drives his family’s car for a couple more hours to help make ends meet.

As he drove me to my hotel, he showed me pictures of his seven kids and gushed over the opportunities he has found in this nation.

And one of those opportunities is Uber.

It’s a typical immigrant story: Work hard, compete, and make things better for your children.

BUT COMPETITION is something Chicago’s highly regulated taxicab industry is working hard against.

Cab owners purchase or lease pricey medallions issued by City Hall.

And they must abide by a slew of regulations,

which companies like Uber have managed to avoid.

The answer to this unfair situation is to create a level playing field for the cabbies.

Eliminate the pricey medallion licensing system, reduce barriers to the market, and slash regulations.

This benefits consumers as well as taxi drivers by bringing prices down.

Uber is part of a new economic concept called “the sharing economy.”

And it’s here to stay.

For example, a coworker of mine has quit staying in hotels. She logs onto Airbnb and selects a room from among those offered by private homeowners who rent out extra space.

As one might expect, motel owners hate this competition.

Tough luck.

We should encourage, rather than discourage, competition.

In a refreshing freemarket move this year, the Illinois General Assembly embraced a portion of the sharing economy by allowing for investment crowdfund-

ing of businesses.

Let’s say you want to start a barbershop but don’t want to borrow from a bank to get your business going. You can sell portions of the ownership of your business over the Internet to finance the endeavor.

It’s sort of like the New York Stock Exchange only for smaller businesses.

As you may have guessed, not all bankers are real keen on this idea.

But it has given opportunities for people to start a business who otherwise might not be able to.

UBER, AIRBNB AND investment crowdfunding are just some of the latest examples of how the marketplace thrives on competition.

When competition doesn’t exist, entrepreneurs will find a way to create it.

And that benefits customers.

That’s the beauty of the free enterprise system.

Note to readers: Scott Reeder’s column is sponsored by the Illinois Policy Institute.

Growing public mistrust.

Incessant racial tension. A spiraling drug epidemic. A mass shooting a day.

American police face a shifting, increasingly unnavigable social and political landscape.

And yet, dysfunction in Springfield is on course to shutter the very training programs police need to grapple with the upheaval.

It’s nothing short of a dereliction of duty among the Capitol’s elected class.

The budget stalemate between GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner and General Assembly Democrats is in its fourth month. One by one, agencies and services have been scaled back, while others go dark.

Southern Illinois University President Randy Dunn said this past month that come January, should the impasse continue, the 5 or 10 percent cuts already shouldered by departments throughout campus will be a relative bright spot.

The elderly. The poor. The addicted. The college student. These are the immediate victims of Springfield’s brinkmanship, obviously partially driven by mutual disdain between Rauner and House Speaker Mike Madigan.

AND NOW, EVEN THE police are falling victim to the senseless, selfish game of peacock.

to keep officers up to snuff.

It’s the state’s doing.

At some point, the chestthumping at the Capitol will start taking a toll on everyone. If the cops can’t get a shred of respect from state officials, no one can.

Only court orders and consent decrees keep the state partially running.

Employees are getting paid. A couple of agencies, such as the State Museum, have flipped off the lights.

A total shutdown would have been better. At least then, the unions, private service providers, local governments and citizenry would have all demanded a budget deal.

But Rauner couldn’t get the shutdown he needed to thrust most of his agenda on General Assembly Democrats. And Madigan remains unwilling to admit that Illinois can’t continue spending more than it brings in.

This isn’t governance. It’s testosterone-driven posturing. Even Senate President John Cullerton admits it. Lawmakers, last week, warned that the state could soon run out of cash, if the impasse persists.

MADIGAN SHOULD embrace Rauner’s property tax freeze. The governor should agree to abandon his most anti-union initiatives and settle for something politically feasible. And the largest public unions should accept reality: The state’s broke.

But everyone involved is more concerned with leveling defeat than scoring a victory. The acrimony is distributing pain and embarrassment throughout the state.

And, in a time when cops are under mounting scrutiny, even they can’t catch a break from Springfield.

DAY TRIP | SHABBONA

Bank for the memories

If you like history, genealogy or nature, there’s something for you in Shabbona

Boys are giving dance a chance

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

SHABBONA – History is in safe hands in Shabbona. It should be; it’s housed in a former bank building.

The Shabbona-Lee-Rollo Historical Museum in downtown Shabbona has been gathering the past and putting it on display since 1992. The museum is located in a former bank building at 119 W. Comanche Ave. According to Carol Bend, who works at the museum, the idea behind the museum began when a small group of people started meeting several years to discuss and preserve the area’s past.

And from those meetings was eventually born a museum. The museum takes its name from the area it covers. Organizers wanted to highlight the history of the old School District No. 425, an area that includes Lee, Rollo, Shabbona, and Shabbona Grove.

Visitors to the museum can step back into the past and sample a slice of family life in the museum’s 1950s kitchen.

School’s in session in the oneroom schoolhouse display, and the area’s postal past is on display at the Shabbona Post Office service window.

You can also see what people were wearing way back when, be it a bridal gown, or military garb. Other displays include local sports items and a glimpse of graduates from yesteryear. A doorway to the past is hard to miss; the bank’s safe is still in the building, complete with a door thick enough to keep out the most determined robber.

The museum is home to more than just history. It also houses a growing collection of information for genealogists. Visitors will find marriage details, Shabbona newspapers, abstracts, military records, obituaries, biographies, cemetery books, censuses, videotaped interviews, and school and church records in hard copies or on microfilm.

Everywhere you look at the Shabbona-LeeRollo History Museum, you see history – even in the building itself.

The museum is housed in an old bank, remnants of which can still be seen, including this safe door.

Making it a sport draws more males to the dance floor Tribune News Service

CHICAGO – Ever since he was a little boy, 15-year-old Dakota Jackson said he has entertained his family with handstands, kick-ballchanges and other hiphop dance moves whenever he hears a beat.

So when it came time for the sophomore at Eisenhower High School in south suburban Blue Island to choose an afterschool activity, Jackson, who is 6-foot-2 and built like a quarterback, ignored suggestions to try basketball and football and instead tried out for the dance team.

“I knew I wouldn’t have enjoyed the other sports,” said Jackson, who was aware that his school’s dance team was historically all girls, but said he didn’t let it bother him. “I just thought it would be fun to start dancing.”

Jackson – now one of three boys performing dance routines with the Eisenhower Cardinals – is part of a statewide increase in male dancers on high school teams and part of a national trend.

Since the 2012-13 school year, when the Illinois High School Association designated dance as a sport with a statewide championship, there has been a noticeable uptick in the number of boys on teams, said Tracie Henry, IHSA assistant executive director.

State officials and school administrators say the move to recognize dance as a sport, combined with the way educators encourage young people to be themselves, are helping to fuel the trend.

Exposure to dance in the mainstream media and

the potential for college scholarships also help, they said.

“It’s just kids these days.

It’s more acceptable for girls to do guy things and guys to do girl things, even more than 10 years ago,” said Nikki Meyer, varsity dance coach at Bloomington High School in Bloomington, which has two male students on its team this year.

Dance teams have long been a tradition at high schools across the country, and schools with strong fine arts and dance programs began showing up to competitions with boys on their teams about a decade ago, said Paula Hess, former Illinois state director for the Universal Dance Association. The association was founded in 1980 to offer dance and drill team education, camps and competitions.

But in Illinois, dance teams stayed largely female until the IHSA recognized competitive dance as a state series.

The move, which came after strong lobbying from coaches and students at more than 200 schools, allows high school dance team participants to compete in a multilayered state competition – from regionals to conference finals – that culminates with the awarding of a state trophy, Henry said.

Fewer than 10 states in the U.S. recognize dance as an official high school sport, Hess said.

State high school sporting officials don’t officially track how many boys participate in dance each year, but they expect to see more male participants at state dance competitions as time goes on.

“When kids visualize something, or have the opportunity to see it in mass media or on television, it makes it more accepting for them to join the team,” Henry said.

Mom, daughter too close for fiance’s comfort Dear Abby, I’m on the verge of 30, and my fiance has a huge issue with the fact that I still cuddle with my mom. From what he says, his family isn’t wild about it, either.

Mom has suffered a great deal of loss in her life. She has lost all of her immediate family (aside from her kids) to cancer.

We were all caretakers for these family members, doing in-home hospice, and we have formed a unique bond.

My fiance has never even been to a funeral, so it’s hard for me to explain this to him. Mom was born in a country in Europe where hugging and lots of affection are natural.

I live out of state, but

when I’m home, I will put my head on Mom’s shoulder and cuddle with her while watching a movie. Sometimes in the morning, I’ll bring her a hot cup of coffee, put it next to her bed, and jump in with her and her dog.

We joke, laugh, cuddle until we have to get up.

Is this something I need

Dear Affectionate, It should be clear to you by now that you are engaged to a man who comes from a family that isn’t comfortable with physical demonstrations of affection, and is quick to judge others. Treasure the closeness you have with your mother while you have it because, after she’s no longer with you, that special kind of affection will be permanently over.

For your fiance or his family to suggest there’s something wrong with cuddling with your mother, or that you

need “professional help” because you do it, is both sad and wrong. Many people would find the relationship you share with her to be enviable, and I am one of them.

Dear Abby, I am a 27-year-old man dating a woman the same age. “Kelli” and I have been happily together for 2 years.

My sister’s recent wedding prompted me to start ring shopping. My sister used this opportunity to come forward “on behalf of the family” to tell me marrying Kelli would be a mistake. She proceeded to spout off two dozen reasons why we shouldn’t be together – ranging from Kelli’s lack of social graces to

her haircut. Then she gave me an ultimatum to choose between Kelli and her.

Things have calmed down in the weeks since, but I am concerned my family will never trust my judgment and will mistreat Kelli. I have never been treated so well by a partner, and I don’t want to lose her. Please give me some feedback.

– Stuck in the Middle in Maryland Dear Stuck, To say that your sister’s outburst was out of line would be an understatement. That she would demand that you “choose” between her and your girlfriend is ridiculous.

Because you are serious

about Kelli, rather than regard what your sister said as a policy statement from the rest of the family, ask them how they feel about your girlfriend.

Some might like her; some might not. But you should not decide whom to marry based on anyone else’s opinion other than your own. They don’t have to live with her; only you do.

P.S. Mature adults do not allow anyone to abuse their spouses.

TV show gets early app debut Shazam users can stream program before it hits the air Tribune News Service

If you think there are no new ways to distribute TV shows, think again.

NBC Universal’s Bravo announced Thursday it will preview its new documentary-style reality series “Aprés-Ski” on the app Shazam, known to most users for its ability to identify recorded music.

Starting Monday, Shazam users who identify the TV promo spot for “Aprés-Ski” with the app will be able to stream the entire program, which debuts Nov. 2. It’s the first time Shazam has offered a full TV episode before its airing.

“Aprés-Ski” follows the adventures of concierges at a high-end tourism company in Whistler,

Canada. Bravo is co-producing the series with Tricon Films & Television.

Maria Laino DeLuca, senior vice president for consumer and trade marketing at Bravo Media, said in a statement that the deal enables the network to connect directly with its “tech-savvy viewers.”

But it’s also an acknowledgment that younger consumers are increasingly turning to their streaming devices first for television.

The first episode of

“Aprés-Ski” will also be available through Bravo’s streaming partners and on video-on-demand before its debut, which has become a common practice for launching new shows.

U.K.-based Shazam is used 20 million times a day and has partnered with a number of companies, including The Walt Disney Co., Target and Time Inc. Its service identifies material visually as well as music through Internet-capable devices.

CHICAGO

Public might lose comment period on Thompson sale CHICAGO (AP) – Plans to speed up the sale of the state governmentowned James R. Thompson Center, and potentially avoid a lengthy public comment period, have been submitted at Gov. Bruce Rauner’s request, House Republican Leader Jim Durkin said Thursday.

Earlier this week, the GOP governor announced intentions to sell the 16-story downtown Chicago building he called a “wasteful” use of government resources requiring roughly $100 million in maintenance.

Rauner said his plan was to move the approx-

imately 2,200 state employees to offices nearby or in Springfield and put the building up for public auction within a year.

Legislation proposed Wednesday by Durkin also detailed options to sell or lease through a sealed competitive bidding process or launch a

public-private partnership. The proposal also alters how appraisals are used and also allows Rauner to skip requirements that the building first be available for sale to other public entities like the city.

The route targeting a state property control law, over one pertain-

ing to closures, could also let Rauner bypass a feedback process with a 30-day public comment period.

Already, concerns about potentially razing the facility have emerged among architectural experts who say the glass half-dome design by famed architect Helmut Jahn is a unique

city landmark.

Durkin said the bill, HB4313, will get public discussion in Springfield, but added, “I’m not sure what a public hearing is going to accomplish. This is something that has been considered by different administrations. It just doesn’t fit the needs of the state.”

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.

• 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.

WORLD

A war-weary nation won’t get any rest Obama reverses pledge, will keep troops in Afghanistan WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama on Thursday abandoned his pledge to end America’s longest war, announcing plans to keep at least 5,500 U.S. troops in Afghanistan when he leaves office in 2017, handing off the conflict to his successor.

It is another setback for the president in his quest to extricate the U.S. from more than a decade of war in Afghanistan and Iraq. That goal was already tarnished by the return of U.S. forces to Iraq last year to help fight the Islamic State, a military mission Obama has said will likely outlast his presidency.

Now, the winner of the 2016 presidential election will also become the third American commander in chief to oversee the Afghan war.

“I know many of you have grown weary of this conflict,” Obama said, addressing the American people in remarks from the White House. “As you are all well aware, I do not support the idea of endless war.”

But he added, “I am firmly convinced that we should make this extra effort.”

The president had originally planned to withdraw all but a small embassybased force from Afghanistan at the end of next year, shortly before leaving office. Under the new $15 billion-a-year plan, the U.S. will maintain its current force of 9,800 through most of 2016, then begin drawing down to 5,500 late in the year or in early 2017.

His decision thrusts the war into the middle of a presidential campaign that so far has barely touched on Afghanistan.

Candidates now will be pressed to say how they will try to do what Obama could not – end a conflict that has killed more than 2,230 American service members and cost more than $1 trillion.

U.S. officials say Afghan President Ashraf Ghani asked Obama to keep the troops in his country when they met in Washington earlier this year.

Obama sees Ghani as a more reliable partner than former President Hamid Karzai, a mercurial leader who deeply frustrated the White House.

Obama’s meeting with Ghani set off a monthslong re-evaluation of the U.S. role in Afghanistan.

Throughout, military leaders argued Afghans needed additional assistance and support to beat back a resurgent Taliban and keep the Islamic State from using the country as a haven.

The president’s decision was reinforced when Taliban fighters took control of the key northern city of Kunduz late last month, leading to a protracted battle with Afghan forces supported by U.S. airstrikes. During the fighting, a U.S. air attack hit a hospital, killing 12 Doctors Without Borders staff and 10 patients.

Ghani welcomed the decision, saying it sent a message to the Taliban and terrorist groups that their actions “will produce no result other than defeat.”

Pistorius will leave prison, be placed on house arrest JOHANNESBURG (AP) – On Tuesday, former Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius will walk out of the South African prison hospital ward, where he served a year for the 2013 negligent killing of his girlfriend, and begin house arrest at his uncle’s Pretoria mansion.

Oscar But early Pistorius next month, the athlete, who was convicted of culpable homicide in the death of Reeva Steenkamp last year, faces a prosecution appeal against his acquittal for murder.

South Africa’s parole board decided Thursday to release the doubleamputee athlete under correctional supervision, or house arrest, until October 2019. Steenkamp’s

parents, Barrie and June, did not make a new submission to the board protesting his release, relying on an earlier submission that he hadn’t served enough time for taking a human life.

“The Parole Board considered all submissions including the offender’s profile report, the directives of the Parole Review Board and the submission of the victim’s family,” according to a brief statement by the Department of Correctional Services.

Pistorius faces certain conditions: He is not allowed to handle a firearm and must undergo psychotherapy.

Will project be a runway success?

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare officials hope new airstrip and tower will help cut congestion CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare International Airport opened a new runway and air traffic control tower Thursday, completing the latest piece of a nearly $9 billion overhaul of its outdated airfield.

For more than a decade, Chicago has been untangling Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six crisscrossing runways and rearranging them in a safer, more efficient sideby-side layout thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to unclog one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst aviation bottlenecks. Yet delays still ensnare passengers traveling through the hub, and Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare is generally ranked dead last for on-time performance among the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 29 biggest airports.

Speakers at Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s commissioning avoided

making specific promises on delay reductions, emphasizing instead that improving Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency is a plus for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aviation network and for Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aspirations to be a center of global commerce and innovation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is nowhere in the world and nowhere in the United States you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get to multiple times daily from the city of Chicago, weather permitting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and we are working on that in the City Council next week,â&#x20AC;? joked Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

With the $516 million runway, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Hare now has five of its six planned parallel runways. The new airstrip is on the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern edge, separated from the terminals by 20 minutes of taxiing.

IN BRIEF Passes will go on sale for Ebertfest

Lucas Museum lease heads to city

CHAMPAIGN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Passes go on sale Nov. 2 for an annual film festival in Illinois founded by the late movie critic Roger Ebert.

The $150 passes for Ebertfest cover admission to 12 or more movie screenOnline ings during the 5-day ebertevent. The fest.com festival champions overlooked films, based on Ebertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s criteria. The 2016 festival is scheduled to run April 13 through 17 at the Virginia Theatre in Champaign.

Ebert died in April 2013 at age 70. The Pulitzer Prize-winning critic for the Chicago Sun-Times was a native or Urbana and a graduate of the University of Illinois.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Chicago Park District has signed off on a 99-year lease for filmmaker George Lucasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; proposed museum along Lake Michigan.

Park district officials voted unanimously Wednesday to approve the $10 lease on the lakefront property for the nonprofit Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. The lease still has to be approved by the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department of Zoning and its Plan Commission.

The nonprofit group, Friends of the Parks, is suing the Chicago Park District to prevent the museum from being built south of Soldier Field.

Construction could begin as early as the spring and the museum could be operating by 2019 or 2020.

VOLLEYBALL | EASTLAND DEF. PEARL CITY 25-11, 25-15

Going away party Cougars send Pierce out with win in last home match for coach

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

LANARK – Bubby Doubler is an emotional and vocal leader for the Eastland volleyball team. Thursday night in Lanark might have been the most emotional match of her career.

But the senior libero and her Cougars teammates had no trouble overcoming their Senior Night emotions Thursday, as they clicked on all cylinders in a 25-11, 25-15 NUIC West win over Pearl City.

“I’m from Pearl City, born and raised there until I moved to Eastland in eighth grade, so every time we play them there’s a lot of emotion for me,” Doubler said. “But we were on fire right away tonight, and as soon as I saw that, I thought ‘This is going to be a good night.’ It was great.”

Eastland (28-1, 13-0) transferred their tears from Senior Night festivities – which included a tribute to longtime coach Kristy Pierce, who is retiring at the end of the season – into instant power on the court.

Cassidy Logemann’s thunderous kill on the second point of the match set the tone, and quick kills and blocks in the middle by Sydney Guentner kept things rolling.

Distribution expands to everyone Warriors show depth in rout of Rochelle

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

STERLING – Emma Mehring’s kill on the third point of Thursday’s volleyball match at Musgrove Fieldhouse gave Rochelle a single-point lead over the host Golden Warriors.

The Hubs’ highlights pretty much ended there, as the Warriors turned the NIB-12 West match into an impromptu scrimmage in a runaway 25-9, 25-12 win.

“We get into a match like that, and we really try to focus on our defense,” middle hitter Rashel Robinson said.

“We always feel like we can get better on defense.”

Sterling coach Dale Dykeman also said that he has been using recent matches to bolster the Warriors’ attack.

That includes feeding the ball into the middle to Robinson and Megan Loos, and working in more hits for Macie Good on the opposite side of D1-bound hitter Kaylee Martin.

“We want to get the middle quicker,” Dykeman said. “We know teams are going to try and take outside away, and if we can get the middle more hits and get them going even faster, it puts a lot of pressure on teams.

“Megan and Rashel are both very good hitters, and we want to get Macie more chances to build her confidence because she can be really dangerous.”

Dixon’s Thaison Somsri-Betts (39) and Rochelle’s Edwin Infante fight for control of the ball during Thursday’s match at A.C. Bowers Field. Dixon won 6-1.

DIXON – Try as he might, Devin Attig likes to get creative with goal opportunities he knows for certain he can make.

Attig revealed to the A.C. Bowers Field crowd during Senior Night that his favorite soccer moment was scoring a goal with his butt in a match against Winnebago. That one wasn’t quite planned, but he wanted to close out his soccer career at home with something unique.

Always liking to make a sliding goal, Attig made one from a few yards out near the left post

Hurting five

By SVM Sports Staff

It was championship week for teams in the Sauk Valley, as Sterling, Milledgeville and Amboy clinched conference titles in Week 8 of the 1980 season.

Turn back the clock with SVM this week to check out these big moments for these teams and schools, and check out next week when we’ll look at Week 9 of the 1975 season.

Sterling 28, LaSalle-Peru 27:

Golden Warrior defensive back Mike Hermes picked off Jim Pistono with 2½ minutes left in LaSalle to give Sterling its first conference title since 1974, and clinch its first playoff berth since 1975.

“It’s been much too long,” a beaming coach Jim Scott said.

“Two years ago down here, we lost a game just like this. They scored in the final minutes to beat us. It’s much better this way.”

Sterling scored 22 thirdquarter points to erase a 14-6 halftime deficit.

Junior tailback Pete Eshleman rushed for 228 yards on 30 carries and scored all four of Sterling’s touchdowns. Eshleman upped his season total to 1,102 yards.

Geneseo 13, Rock Falls 0: For the fourth consecutive week, the Rockets played an aggressive football game, and for the fourth week they had little to show for it.

In the final four conference games, the Rockets allowed 14,

Scoreboard • Sterling 28, LaSalle-Peru 27 • Streator 10, Dixon 6 • Geneseo 13, Rock Falls 0 • Mount Morris 19, Byron 6 • Stillman Valley 28, Oregon 21 • Amboy 36, Riverdale 8 • Fulton 22, Morrison 8 • Newman 70, Erie 6 • Prophetstown 19, Savanna 6 • Buda Western 28, Tampico 6 • Manlius 28, Bradford 13 • Walnut 56, LaMoille 0 • Ashton 1, Leaf River 0 • Galena 40, Lanark 0 • Milledgeville 34, Mount Carroll 0 • Pearl City 40, Franklin Center 6 • Pecatonica 50, Polo 8 12, 7 and 13 points, but earned only one win in that stretch.

Against Geneseo, the Rockets defense was on the field for over 35 minutes. The Rock Falls offense managed just 72 yards against the Leafs, who wrapped up the NCIC Southwest crown.

Streator 10, Dixon 6: Three Dixon turnovers in the first half paved the way for all 10 of the Bulldogs’ points at A.C. Bowers Field. It came a week after the Dukes had pulled off an upset of LaSalle-Peru.

A fumble by Pat Hamill on the

37-yard line set up Streator’s first touchdown in the first quarter. The Bulldogs added a field goal late in the half after another Dixon turnover.

The Dukes’ lone score came in the third quarter on a 1-yard plunge by Brett Dyche.

Fulton 22, Morrison 8: Loren VenHuizen threw a pair of third-quarter touchdown passes to lead the Steamers to their 11th straight win over Morrison in Fulton. It was the fourth time the game was called the Wooden Shoe Bowl.

VenHuizen tossed his first TD pass 16 yards to Randy Knight, who carried a defender 2 more yards for the score. His second TD was set up by a 26-yard run

by Jeff Wessman, and the drive ended with a pass to Brian Holcomb.

Morrison’s lone score came on a 41-yard TD strike to Todd Nelson from Dave Spangler late in the second quarter.

Milledgeville 34, Mount Carroll 0: Ty Woodin, a 165-pound

senior running back, rushed for 120 yards including touchdowns of 65, 18 and 10 yards as the Missiles clinched the Northwest Eight title.

Amboy 36, Riverdale 8:

Amboy’s George Schwamberger scored the first of two TDs on a 37-yard run in the first quarter as the Clippers clinched the TRAC-8 title at home.

Brad Considine added an 18-yard TD pass to Chris Harrison in the third quarter.

MLB | CUBS

Bosio bought into Cubs’ plan C

hris Bosio has coached dozens of pitchers in his 4 years with the Cubs, knowing his job was to build the best ones up so president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer could trade them for prospects.

The Plan was The Plan.

There was nothing the pitching coach could do but watch many of them leave in the middle of the season.

But now those three consecutive years of “sign-and-flip” strategy have paid off, and the Cubs are on their way to the National League Championship Series, starting Saturday night.

The losing was agonizing, but Bosio always felt confident there would be a payoff, whether it was this season or next.

“That’s the process,” he said Tuesday on the field at Wrigley after the Cubs’ NLDS-clinching triumph over the Cardinals. “[Management was] very upfront and honest, and we knew what was going to happen. We knew there were going to be some bumps and rocks in the road, and you have to overcome it. We lost some great people from trades, some really good people.

“Anthony Rizzo talked about Edwin Jackson tonight. Edwin Jackson was a contributor on this club. And James Russell is not here. But these are all people who contributed down the road in this – even the Scott Feldmans, the Paul Maholms, the Matt Garzas and [Jeff] Samardzijas.

“Those guys, and the seasons that they had here, whether they believe it or not, they contributed to where we are at right now, along with some other front office people, some scouts, some coaches and guys.

“And this is a journey that’s not finished yet.”

cast off. They’re a bunch of pitching mutts, much like Bosio himself.

On Tuesday night in Game 4 of the NLDS, manager Joe Maddon called on seven of his relievers to pitch the final six innings of the Cubs’ 6-4 victory over the Cardinals. And it worked.

Bosio gets a lot of credit, with good reason, for Jake Arrieta’s transformation into one of the best starters in the game. He built up Maholm, Feldman, Samardzija and others.

But he was beaming Tuesday night talking about the performances of Justin Grimm, Travis Wood, Trevor Cahill, Fernando Rodney, Clayton Richard, Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon, who combined for 13 strikeouts while allowing two runs and five hits over their six innings.

“It’s amazing what these guys have done, really all year, and Joe deserves a lot of the credit because he manages every single inning, every game, to win,” Bosio said. “The guys know that, and they’re ready.”

When junior hitter Makenzie Fink got into the action from the outside, there was little Pearl City could do to stop the Cougars.

“I’m glad we started the way we did, because it was really sad that the seniors and Coach P were playing here for the last time,” said Fink, who smashed 12 kills. “It was a little depressing to think about, but as soon as Cassidy got that first kill, it set all of us on fire.”

Recent work on out-of-system plays paid off, as the Cougars seemed to find the floor with their spikes and tips no matter how much scrambling they had to do.

And it wasn’t much. Pearl City managed just seven kills as a team, and the Wolves were the ones who often looked out of sorts and back on their heels.

“We all talk and help each other out, tell each other where the gaps and holes in the defense are,” said Guentner, who had four kills and four blocks. “It’s a really good feeling when we get everybody involved and have so many of us at the net ready to smash the ball wherever Ashley [Beyers] sets it.”

Eastalnd also used its serving as a weapon. The Cougars served 10 aces, four coming from Heather Larak and three more from Bailey DeMichele. All three of DeMichele’s aces came in a four-point stretch midway through Game 1, and three of Larak’s four aces came in a four-point stretch at the end of the opener.

Eastland senior libero Bubby Doubler bumps the ball Thursday during the Cougars’ 25-11, 25-15 NUIC West win over Pearl City in Lanark.

“When you get on a roll like that, you’re very eager to get the ball back and serve it again,” said Larak, who served for 10 points to go with five digs. “We practice that a lot, finding the open spots, and it’s pretty easy when you get into a groove back there.”

Pearl City’s only lead was 1-0 in Game 2 after Guentner was in the net on a hard spike, but she made up for it a point later and the Cougars never looked back. A combo block from Guentner and Karolin Thomas, then back-to-back kills from Fink made it 12-3, and other

Dixon’s Michael Gale (right) heads the ball as the Dukes’ Thaison Somsri-Betts (39) and Rochelle’s Robbie Kessen (16) watch Thursday night at A.C. Bowers Field in Dixon. The Dukes beat the Hubs 6-1.

“I like sliding a lot,” Attig said. “It’s just kind of what I do. I just went flying in there and tried getting in no matter what.

That was all I wanted.

“I used to be a goalie.

So that’s where it comes from.”

Jacob Fane closed out his home-pitch career with a hat trick. He took a rebound off the crossbar and chipped in his first goal with 37:02 gone.

Twice in the second half, Fane made good on a pair of LeRette clears.

Fane’s second goal came 40 seconds into the half on LeRette’s baseline cross to the left post. In a nearly similar situation 13 minutes later, Fane took a LeRette pass from the right side and headed the ball in after a 5-foot upward bounce.

“I had a lot of good service from behind,” Fane said. “Our players were playing good balls into space for me.”

Rochelle’s lone goal

came off the foot of Luis Rios, breaking the shutout with 57:15 gone. The Hubs (5-11-1) challenged the Dukes in the midfield for the first 7 minutes, as neither team attempted a shot.

The Dukes got on the board after Brenden McCrory found a good look and kicked to an open LeRette, who put his team up 1-0 with a 13-yard blast – their first shot of the match.

“I just had to bide my time and wait for the defense to open up,” McCrary said. “Rem has been making those runs all year, so it was just second nature to find him.”

Dixon heads to Boylan on Tuesday for a 2A regional semifinal tilt with Crystal Lake Central, a team that Dixon coach Josh Brigl noted that his team feels optimistic at succeeding against.

“They’re a very big, physical team,” Brigl said.

“They’ve got some very good speed, and have two very good forwards. We think we match up well with a team like that.”

After a ruff, does an overruff follow?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Charles Ruff, a lawyer who defended president Bill Clinton, said, “Impeachment is not a remedy for private wrongs; it’s a method of removing someone whose continued presence in office would cause grave danger to the nation.”

A bridge player could rewrite that as: Ruffing or overruffing is not always a remedy for making or breaking a contract; each deal must be taken on its own merits.

In today’s deal, South is in four hearts.

West starts the defense with three rounds of diamonds.

East plays high-low, then ruffs dummy’s queen with the heart 10. What should declarer do?

It is unappealing to open one club with only three low cards in the suit, but with 13 high-card points, one cannot pass. (For those of you who use the Support Double, North’s two-heart rebid guar-

antees four-card support.

With only three hearts, North would double over two diamonds.)

South, assuming trumps are not 4-0, seems to have only three losers: two diamonds and one club. It looks easy to overruff at trick three, draw trumps, and claim.

Here, though, there is a nasty surprise waiting for declarer.

He suddenly finds that he has a trump loser and goes down one.

South should realize that whatever happens, he will lose a club trick – so why not concede it now?

Instead of overruffing, declarer should discard his club eight. Then everything is under control.

Don’t overruff when it might result in an opponent gaining a trump trick and you have an inevitable loser to discard. © 2015 UFS

MLB | NLDS GAME 5 | METS 3, DODGERS 2

Mets’ hand beats ace Murphy’s bat, legs lead New York to NLCS

BY BETH HARRIS AP Sports Writer

LOS ANGELES – Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets caught the Los Angeles Dodgers sleeping.

Murphy stole an uncovered third base and went on to score the tying run, then hit a go-ahead homer off Zack Greinke to lead the Mets over the Dodgers 3-2 Thursday night and into an NL Championship Series matchup with the Chicago Cubs.

New York trailed 2-1 in the decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series when, with three infielders on the right side and no one near third, Murphy strolled to second on Lucas Duda’s fourthinning walk and sprinted

to third. Travis d’Arnaud followed with a sacrifice fly.

Murphy homered in the sixth for a 3-2 lead.

He went 3-for-3 against Greinke, the Dodgers’ No. 2 ace who couldn’t stave off elimination for the second straight game. Murphy hit .333 in the series and homered three times off Greinke and Clayton Kershaw.

The Mets will host the Cubs in Game 1 on Saturday night. The two teams have never met in the postseason.

Jacob deGrom allowed runners in his first five innings, but just two runs – on RBI singles

by Justin Turner and Andre Ethier that put the

Dodgers ahead 2-1 in the first. DeGrom (2-0), the 2014 NL Rookie of the Year with the long, shaggy hair, struck out seven and walked three to earn his second road win of the series.

Noah Syndergaard pitched the seventh in the rookie’s first big league relief appearance, and Jeurys Familia got the first six-out save of his career.

Familia retired pinchhitter Chase Utley – who earned the Mets’ wrath after his takeout slide broke shortstop Ruben Tejada’s leg in Game 2 – on a flyout.

Los Angeles failed to come up with a big hit, going 0-for-11 with runners in scoring positions.

NHL | CAPITALS 4, BLACKHAWKS 1

Blackhawks stale again Holtby makes 26 saves as Capitals cruise

BY DAVID GINSBURG AP Sports Writer

WASHINGTON – The Washington Capitals bounced back from a miserable performance with a gem of an effort against the Chicago Blackhawks, who are having difficulty scoring as they begin defense of their Stanley Cup title.

Braden Holtby stopped 26 shots, Alex Ovechkin contributed a goal in his return, and the Capitals cruised to a 4-1 victory Thursday night.

John Carlson, T.J. Oshie and Matt Niskanen also scored for the Capitals, who welcomed back Ovechkin following a one-game disciplinary absence.

Ovechkin was benched Tuesday night against San Jose after missing practice that morning.

He said he overslept after accidentally setting his alarm for 8:30 p.m. instead of 8:30 a.m.

Without him, the Capitals lost to the Sharks 5-0.

They stewed about it for a day, then came out energized against Chicago from the first drop of the puck.

“We were ready to play, we were ready to skate, we were on the same page,” Holtby said. “I think the other night was a pretty good wake-up call for us.”

Chicago, on the other hand, improved only marginally from their previous outing – a listless 3-0 loss to Philadelphia one night earlier.

In this one, the Blackhawks trailed 3-0 before Viktor Svedberg got his first goal of the season at the 3:13 mark of the third period. That ended a scoreless drought of 107 minutes, 46 seconds.

Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville took consolation in his team’s 17-shot second period.

Midway through the stanza, Andrew Desjardins

missed an open net from the left side at the end of a 2-on-1 with Andrew Shaw.

For Chicago – which has only 10 goals in five games – coming close counts for something.

“Certainly, the second period we were fine,” Quenneville said. “We had some great chances at an empty net and missed.

Not sharp around the net.”

It isn’t time to panic, but the Blackhawks can’t pretend this scoring drought doesn’t matter.

“I mean, we’re not happy with how we played the last few games,” center Marcus Kruger said. “All of us have got to get better and take responsibility.”

Although the Blackhawks finally broke through with a goal in the third period, they took only five shots over the final 20 minutes. After Svedberg scored, the Capitals took over.

The Warriors offense started with setter Alli Olson working the ball over to Martin on the edge. The Northern Illinois-bound junior had five kills in Game 1, and finished with nine in the match.

Olson then worked it around the rest of night until Sterling pulled it starters midway through Game 2.

Good and Jay Borum had four kills, Loos had three kills, and Robinson had one.

Jamy Trancoso, who had a nice night at libero, also had nine of her 11 points in Game 1.

“Our back row is playing really well right now,” Dykeman said. “That just adds to the front row, and allows us to get the ball to Alli, who is setting great.”

Kaylie Clark led Rochelle with three kills.

Sterling cleared its bench with a 17-10 lead in Game 2. The Warriors (275, 5-1 NIB-12 West) won eight of the last 10 points

Thursday’s box

BY JOE KAY AP Sports Writer

CINCINNATI – Andy Dalton got accustomed to hearing boos as he led the Bengals to the playoffs each of his first four seasons.

Every interception brought another torrent.

Every playoff loss seemed to seal his reputation.

Can’t win the big one. Not cool under pressure. He’ll never be one of the elites.

At the start of training camp last year, he was greeted by a fan banner calling for his backup to start. When he was introduced before the All-Star celebrity softball game at Great American Ball Park last July, he was booed.

He was blamed for the Bengals’ inability to get past the first round of the playoffs.

“He’s been under a lot of pressure here from Day One,” left tackle Andrew Whitworth said. “You look at the top guys in the league right now. A lot of those guys didn’t play from Day One, so they didn’t have to go through the bumps and bruises of being a young player and getting criticized like he’s had to.”

Not anymore.

Dalton is changing the public’s perception with his torrid start. The fifth-year quarterback has been spectacular during the Bengals’ 5-0 run, ranking among the NFL’s top passers in every category.

Just like old times at Superdome Brees finds swagger against Falcons

BY BRETT MARTEL AP Sports Writer

NEW ORLEANS – Proud veterans Drew Brees and Ben Watson summoned their best performances of the season and restored a bit of swagger to the recently reeling Saints.

Brees passed for 312 yards, Watson racked up a career-high 127 yards receiving to go with a fourth-down touchdown catch, and New Orleans handed the Atlanta Falcons their first loss of the season with a 31-21 win on Thursday night.

Desperate for a victory, the Saints (2-4) enjoyed big plays in all phases, a common occurrence when New Orleans hosts night games. Including the playoffs, the Saints have now won 19 of 21 games in the Superdome in prime time.

Michael Mauti, who grew up near New Orleans after his father, Rich, played for the Saints, blocked a punt and recovered it for a touchdown, delighting the Superdome crowd with a play reminiscent of Steve Gleason’s famous block against Atlanta in 2006.

Mark Ingram ran for two short touchdowns, and New Orleans’

defense recovered three fumbles – two inside its own 20.

Devonta Freeman rushed for 100 yards, including a 25-yard TD, for Atlanta (5-1). Matt Ryan passed for 295 yards and two TDs. Freeman also turned a short pass into a 13-yard touchdown, but by then it was too late for the Falcons.

Freeman’s first touchdown cut New Orleans’ lead to 24-14 with 13:07 remaining, putting pressure on the Saints to answer.

The Saints responded with the type of will-imposing drive that was commonplace during much of the decade since coach Sean Payton and Brees arrived in New Orleans, but seldom seen this season.

New Orleans drove 80 yards in 11 plays, eating about 5 minutes off the clock. During the series, Watson tied a career high with his 10th catch of the game. Brees found Brandon Cooks for 26 yards on one third down. Ingram capped the drive by powering in for his second TD to make it 31-14.

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))

TODAY’S CLUE: E equals K “ R B M O LW O D Z C W S Y D D J Z C Y RW, J F T RB TJAUCZWXD JXW ZCW SYDDWD. O JR IADZ ZCW MYXEWX. MW JXW J NWXB MJXR LJROVB.” -- IWZ VO Previous Solution: “America is terrified of the passage of time.

Astrograph Avoid Taking Sides Friday October 16, 2015 LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Deception is apparent. Don’t be coerced into doing anything that could damage your reputation or your bank account. Someone you trust will try to take advantage of you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You have worked hard, now you must keep the momentum going. If doubt or anxiety causes you to hesitate, someone else will leap at a golden opportunity that was meant for you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Emotions will be close to the surface. Keep busy and avoid potentially volatile situations. Traffic or travel disruptions will wreak havoc with your schedule. Lie low.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Money is heading your way. Don’t turn down a leadership position. Your status is rising, and successful negotiations with business partners or superiors will bring recognition and rewards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- No matter how hard you strive to keep the peace, family disputes will cause anguish and hurt feelings. These issues will

not go away without intervention.

Avoid taking sides, and look for a workable solution.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t be fooled by flattery.

Think about the consequences of your actions. You will be left in a compromising situation if you allow anyone to charm you into taking part in a risky venture.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Use all your intellectual resources when faced with a financial decision. It is vital that you understand your options in order to protect your assets and income.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your fun-loving nature and good humor will be infectious.

Host a get-together for family, friends, colleagues or neighbors.

Physical or mental games will prove entertaining.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Look upon change as an opportunity for growth. Don’t let anything prevent you from moving forward. Recall methods that have worked in the past.

Prior experience will offer valuable tips.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get out and enjoy the people and places that mean the most to you. Taking the time to enjoy light entertainment will lift your spirits and relieve stress.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let anyone else call the shots. You will be disappointed in yourself if you don’t fight for what you want. Trust in your skills and intuition, and stay in control of your future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Harmful rumors will surface if you don’t use discretion when dealing with personal and professional relationships.

A misunderstanding will be damaging to your reputation. Be perfectly clear and don’t send mixed signals. ©2015 UFS
