OGLE COUNTY | DEATH OF OREGON TEEN

No one to be charged in death But 9 charged in incident; 2 with hate crime

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 521

OREGON – No one will be directly charged in the August death of Oregon teen Jon Williams, Ogle County State’s Attorney Mike Rock said Wednesday.

“We’re not going to be able to file a charge against anybody in Jon’s death,” Rock said.

“We don’t have anything that would allow us to successfully prosecute that.”

But nine people were charged Wednesday with crimes related to the party, during which Williams was hit and later died. Two of those nine were charged with a hate crime.

Facing hate crime charges are Justin Coltrain,

Man facing hate crime charge says he was assaulted in Ogle jail

33, of Mount Morris, one count, and Matthew Steder, 22, three counts.

Prosecutors charged Coltrain and Steder with hate crimes because they made racial slurs during the incident, Rock said.

Jon Such charges are rare in Ogle Williams County, he said.

Bond was set at $100,000 for Coltrain, who also was charged with battery.

He was in the Ogle County Jail on Wednesday afternoon, but was transferred to the Whiteside County Jail later in the day.

DIXON — Crafter Ann Love of Imagine That is gearing up for a special show this weekend. Some of the proceeds will go directly to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Love and her partner, Jeff Montavon, have three children between them who served in the military, making the project’s efforts dear to their hearts.

Love’s daughter, Sgt. Charli Summers-Betancourt, a medic, was stationed in Iraq. Brandon Montavon, a petty officer 2nd Class aviation electronic technician, was fighting the war on drugs in Central America.

And Staff Sgt. Adam Montavon, of the 101st Airborne Division, was a flight medic in Operation Dust Off. “All three of the kids were deployed at the same time, and that was hard for us,” Jeff Montavon said.

Adam served two tours in Afghanistan, suffering a few injuries. Jumps and rescues occurred in less than ideal settings, his father said.

LOVE CONTINUED ON A4

long after he was placed in a cell with four other men in the Ogle County Jail, he was assaulted, taken to a hospital for a CT scan, then transferred to the Whiteside County Jail in Morrison.

Ogle County Sheriff Michael Harn did not return multiple calls from SVM seeking comment Thursday. A call to Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi also was not returned.

Ann Love, artist and owner of Imagine That, puts final touches on holiday décor she will sell at the Post House Ballroom in Dixon during her annual show today and Saturday. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the Wounded Warrior Project.

MORRISON – Three potential state’s witnesses in Nicholas Sheley’s upcoming murder trial have objected to cameras being allowed in the courtroom during their testimonies.

A hearing on the objections will begin at 1:30 p.m.

Trish Dec. 16 in WhiteJoyce side County Court.

On June 13, the court first heard a motion for extended media coverage, to which Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce had no objection. It was decided then that any objections filed by witnesses would be handled later.

“My concern about coverage of proceedings is generally in regard to pretrial matters, and only if that coverage affects the ability to seat an impartial jury or otherwise jeopardizes the presentation of a case,” Joyce said.

Inquest: Williams’ death a homicide CHARGED

#/.4).5%$ &2/- !

On multiple occasions Wednesday and Thursday, people who answered the phones at the Ogle County Jail told Sauk Valley Media reporters that no information would be given about the people arrested Wednesday. Reporters were told to call the state’s attorney’s office on Monday.

Steder also was charged with aggravated battery and two counts of battery.

Two juveniles also are charged, Rock said.

During an inquest .OV 7INNEBAGO County Coroner Sue Fiduccia ruled Williams’ death a homicide.

Inquests consist of a panel of six jurors who consider five different verdicts: accidental, suicide, homicide, undetermined, and unnatural causes.

Panel members hear information about the victim’s death, and they decide the manner of death. The cause of Wil-

liams’ death already had been ruled to be “blunt trauma of the head due to a fall as a result of a physical altercation.�

The official manner of Williams’ death, the jury decided, was “homicide (involuntary manslaughter).� “In this particular case, they felt that even though there was a confrontation with a lot of people, where there were a lot of people fighting, someone punched [Williams] in the face, which caused him to fall to the ground, which caused a head injury, which caused his death,� Fiduccia said.

Rock said, according to witnesses, Williams chased another person, who then hit him in selfdefense, which resulted in Williams’ fall. Williams was then carried back into the house, where he remained for hours before receiving medical attention.

The fight happened ABOUT A M !UG

The rough terrain landings and searches in collapsing buildings caused some of the injuries.

His biggest wound, however, is unseen.

Adam, like many of his comrades, has post-traumatic stress disorder.

When he came back home, the Wounded Warriors supported him and were, his father said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a saving grace.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our children are safe, and Adam is on the mend,â&#x20AC;? Love said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And we want to give back and support others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their peers, through this effort.â&#x20AC;?

Montavon said the battles with PTSD never stop. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are held hostage by it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It means the world to them that there is a project like Wounded Warriors.â&#x20AC;?

The support group provides resources and outings â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a sense of â&#x20AC;&#x153;normalcy,â&#x20AC;? Montavon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They come in, help them feel the love and appreciation we still have for them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Adam was invited to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Duck Dynastyâ&#x20AC;? hunting grounds through the project. He and other veterans were given an engraved duck

call, and what they hunted was dressed, packaged and sent home with them. He was also invited to the Nashville Zoo, where he helped to care for animals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A number of Adamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends have committed suicide,â&#x20AC;? Montavon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their war â&#x20AC;&#x201C; their battle never ends. Quite frankly, we are seeing these soldiers come home, but they are unable to leave the battle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am so proud of him and the guys he served with. They saved so many lives. This really is the least we could do.â&#x20AC;?

After seeing the positive impact the project had on Adam, getting involved was an easy decision for the couple.

They work on the show year round. The handcrafted art is centered with a holiday theme, but it begins often as â&#x20AC;&#x153;another manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trash,â&#x20AC;?

She refurbishes and recycles antique sleds and wooden childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chairs, ladders and old windowpanes, giving them new life by adding embellishments, paint, sparkles and foliage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her passion and love to create it really show in the final products,â&#x20AC;?

Montavon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love the whole process of finding things, repairing and painting things to get them ready for what she does.â&#x20AC;?

This year, they have doubled their stock to accommodate the need. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year at the Post House, we sold out of a lot of centerpieces, tabletops, and people were trying to buy our props,â&#x20AC;? Love said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lots of elegant and whimsical pieces. There are a little more country and primitive things than last year and lots and lots of color. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say we have a good variety of everything.â&#x20AC;?

They decorate the Post House Ballroom to the hilt for the 2-day show.

Her car went onto the north shoulder, sliding down a bank and overturning, coming to rest in a drainage ditch.

Erickson was able to exit her vehicle, and was helped by a passerby until Fulton ambulance personnel arrived.

They took her to Mercy Medical Center, where her condition was unavailable Thursday evening.

The Mazda was totalled. Fulton police and fire personnel and state police troopers also helped at the scene.

STERLING | A SPECIAL HOLIDAY

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy to be hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Homebound woman gets out for Thanksgiving

BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com

EXT

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bobbie Mae Harts doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out much these days.

In the past year, she has left the house for two doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appointments.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it.

On Thanksgiving, though, the longtime Sterling resident took part in a feast with family and friends at the Sterling Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Youth. She and her husband, Frank Harts, showed up about 3:30 p.m.

Last year, Bobbie Mae, 75, suffered a stroke and heart attack, which put her in the hospital and then the nursing home for a couple of months.

At first, she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk.

Now, she can take a few steps with her walker.

When she arrived at the Center for Youth, family and friends went outside to greet her.

Her grandson, Jeremiah Harts, 12, opened her car door and told her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy Thanksgiving!â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided a couple of days ago that we should go to this,â&#x20AC;? Frank, 77, told a reporter.

The Hartsesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; son, Ted, 51, has written a book about his parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; younger years in Shelby, Miss.,

Sheley trial set for Jan. 10 CAMERAS

CONTINUED FROM A1

Joyce said any witness in a case for which extended media coverage has been allowed has the right to file an objection to the coverage of their testimony.

Cameras still would be allowed throughout the remainder of the proceedings.

The three potential witnesses who filed objections are from the Illinois State Police, the St. Louis Metro Police Department, and Fes-

tus, Mo. Similar objections to cameras were filed in the 2012 Whiteside Nicholas C o u n t y Sheley Sheley trial, but they were overruled by Judge Jeffrey Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Connor, the same judge presiding over the current case.

Sheley, 34, is facing 15 counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of four people who were found beaten to death in a Rock Falls apartment 5 years ago: Brock

Branson, 29; his fiancĂŠe Kilynna Blake, 20; her 2-year-old son, Dayan; and Kenneth Ulve, 25.

He already has been convicted of the murders of Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg, and Russell Reed, 93, of Sterling. He is serving two life sentences without parole for those murders.

Sheley also is charged in the deaths of Arkansas couple Jill and Tom Estes, both 54, who were killed in Festus, Mo. His trial is set for Jan. 10 in Rock Island County Court.

Bobbie Mae Harts of Sterling left her house Thursday to attend a Thanksgiving feast at Sterling Townshipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Youth. She is helped by her husband, Frank (left) and son, Ted. Bobbie Mae, who rarely gets out these days, said she was happy to be with friends and family. where they grew up in the Jim Crow era. They are black, so they encountered much prejudice back then.

In the mid-1950s, Frank got into an argument with a white man while working at a theater. The man grabbed him. It came to blows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was enough for people to kill you in those days,â&#x20AC;? Ted said.

Frank heard that a bunch of white men were looking for him. He left the state, went to Sterling and later married Bobbie

Mae. Since last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stroke and heart attack, Ted said, Bobbie Mae has hurt every day.

Still, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always happy, with a smile on her face.â&#x20AC;?

Sure enough, a smile stayed on her face when she arrived at the Center for Youth.

The temperature was about 30 degrees, but that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to matter to Bobbie Mae. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel cold because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so happy to be here.â&#x20AC;?

Joe Heller, Heller Syndication

Help yourself and community â&#x20AC;&#x201C; shop small on Saturday What we think With the Christmas shopping season underway, people can help their communities by spending money at local businesses. Shop small this Saturday.

B

y now, if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re into the whole Black Friday experience (or even Brown Thursday, if you hit the sales on Thanksgiving), youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve likely lugged bags of deals into your home and crossed many names off your holiday shopping list.

Before you put away your treasures â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or if you have yet to start formulating your gift-giving plans â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we have a message for you: Shop small.

And we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean, buy small items. We mean, shop small businesses.

You know, those places that anchor your downtown business district and might be called mom-and-pop stores, the ones on the corner that make your neighborhood, well, your neighborhood.

Saturday is Small Business Saturday, an effort

by American Express to encourage holiday shoppers to patronize small businesses. The initiative â&#x20AC;&#x201C; referred to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;shopping holidayâ&#x20AC;? by some and sandwiched between Black Friday and Cyber Monday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; started in 2010.

Last year, nearly 70 million people â&#x20AC;&#x153;shopped smallâ&#x20AC;? for an estimated $5.5 billion in sales to independently owned small businesses, according to the federal Small Business Administration.

The 28 million small businesses in America

create two out of every three net new private sector jobs and are the backbone of our economy, with half of working Americans either owning or working for a small business, according to the SBA. These are the shops owned and operated by your neighbors, not someone in another state (or even country).

These are the people who might have given you your first summer job as a teenager, who know the importance of customer service, and who often donate to your community.

They also likely are the shops where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to find unique gifts that big-box stores simply donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t offer. Those stores aim to please the masses.

Small businesses often provide options that, when you see a certain item, you immediately think it was dropped there specifically for a certain person on your gift list.

Where you spend your dollars matters.

When you spend your money at small businesses, it stays in your community.

And please, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel this Saturday is the only day to check out your local stores.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re shopping anyway. Why not score great gifts while helping your town?

Kill cougar?

There must be a better way BOB WOLF Rock Falls

I believe quick judgment was used maliciously about doing away with the cougar, by the farmer and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources [â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cougar killed by IDNR officer; Animal rarely seen in Illinois,â&#x20AC;? Sauk Valley Media, Nov. 22]. There could have been other options besides going crazy and putting it down, without thought.

The cougar was really not bothering anyone or any animals. The cougar was definitely lost, probably looking for a mate.

It hid from the farmer for protection. It was as scared as the farmer was.

I believe the farmer provoked the situation.

There could have been other options, like return it to the Dakotas (back to its habitat) or a zoo. People nowadays would rather kill than to compromise the situation, which was in this case. I believe the farmer and the IDNR were gun happy, instead of removing it alive.

The IDNR person who ordered the shooting should be terminated from his or her job. I believe the farmer should learn more about wild animals and how to do it differently (no guns). The IDNR is supposed to protect, not kill.

So the way this went down means we can freely kill any animal in our way without compromise. I hope decisions are made better in the future.

STATEHOUSE INSIDER

Unpaid bills backlog hits $8.8B Vendors must wait longer for state to pay up

dougFINKE Doug Finkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column is syndicated

by GateHouse News Service.

For months, many of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; human-services organizations and vendors have seen improvements in their state payments.

They could thank the cyclical nature of tax collections for the improvement.

But now, according to Brad Hahn, a spokesman for Comptroller Judy Baar Topinkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, the cycle is beginning to shift in the other direction, and payment delays are once again getting longer.

The backlog of bills waiting to be paid in the comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has grown by $3 billion since the spring, when the state was flush with tax revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As the numbers grow, so, too, do payment delays to vendors throughout the state,â&#x20AC;?

Hahn said.

It is a situation that Topinkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office has been predicting for months, even as it was making a strong dent in the bill backlog last spring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill backlog fluctuates throughout the year, with numbers dropping in highrevenue months and rising in leaner seasons,â&#x20AC;?

Hahn said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Typically, the backlog drops in the spring and summer months as residents and businesses make their income tax payments, and then numbers grow in the fall and winter.â&#x20AC;?

AT THE START OF April, the bill backlog in Topinkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office stood at $8.5 billion. That number included both bills on hand in the comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and the officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best estimate of bills still being held in state agencies.

In early April, Hahn said, vendors were waiting at least 4 months for payments from the state, although some bills took longer than that to be paid.

Hahn said that a strong tax season this year allowed the office to â&#x20AC;&#x153;aggressively pay down billsâ&#x20AC;? in April and May. By the end of May, the backlog was down to $5.8 billion, and vendors were waiting a minimum of 2 months to be paid, half what they were waiting at

the start of April.

That was, however, the high-water mark in the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to pay bills on time. By the end of June, also the end of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal year, the backlog was sitting at $6.1 billion.

By Oct. 1, the backlog was up to $7.5 billion, including bills being held in state agencies prior to being given to Topinkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office for payment. And as of late last week, the total was at $8.8 billion â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an even higher number than at the start of April.

Hahn said the office believes the total will hit $9 billion by the end of December, exactly where Topinka predicted it would be last summer. It is the second year in a row the backlog will sit at about $9 billion at the end of the calendar year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although revenues have been up, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still in about the same place as far as bill backlog,â&#x20AC;?

Hahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Essentially, the state is treading water.â&#x20AC;?

NOR WILL THINGS turn around in the near future. Even though the holiday shopping season is about to go into high gear, history shows that it does not provide a spike in state tax revenue.

Jim Muschinske is revenue manager for the Legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commission on Government Forecasting

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

... [T]he office believes the total will hit $9 billion by the end of December.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Doug Finke

and Accountability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The sales tax is not bumped as much as people might think,â&#x20AC;? Muschinske said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a little bit of a bump, but you have to remember the holiday shopping season probably is a lot more spread out now than maybe it was 15 or 20 years ago. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you get that big rush like you did before.â&#x20AC;?

COGFA has revised its revenue estimates for this budget year and now believes the state will collect $369 million more than originally anticipated. House Speaker Michael Madigan, among others, believes any unanticipated revenue like that should be applied to old bills, rather than increased state spending. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every bit helps,â&#x20AC;? Hahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Certainly for the vendors that are waiting, that can make a difference. But relative to the overall backlog, it is a drop in the bucket.â&#x20AC;?

Sterling pullout from Bi-County bad for students ROB BERRY Princeton

I have been a teacher with Bi-County Special Education cooperative in its program for students with emotional disabilities (ED) since the first year that four ED classes were consolidated in 1998.

Before that, the primary class was at Wallace School, the intermediate class at Erie, the junior high at Tampico Middle School, and the high

school at the regional office of education building in Sterling.

Bi-County felt it would be better to have all four classes under one roof.

Students were moved, new staff was hired, and we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what we were doing.

I hate to admit it, but those first years were an educational loss for our students. It took a good 5 years before we began to run smoothly and see progress and growth in our students.

Sterling can expect similar growing pains if it withdraws from BiCounty. ED students will

be moved to a new building with new teachers.

Life skills students will be ripped away from friends they have had since kindergarten and even earlier in their lives.

Sterling will have 88 students on its hands who are very upset about the change. Is it really worth $160,000?

In addition to Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 88 students suffering, the other approximately 130 students in Bi-County programs will suffer as well. Every Bi-County program will shrink, and with what we do, smaller programs are not better programs.

If we reduce the number of teachers to four, the span of grades covered by each teacher will increase, while the number of support personnel will decrease. Thome School will not run as efficiently or smoothly as it does now.

Should murder suspect be in wedding party?

Dear Abby: My fiancee and I are getting married next summer. Last summer, my closest friend â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a woman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was murdered. Her husband was charged with the crime. Both of them were to be a part of the wedding party. The husband, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frank,â&#x20AC;? was to be my best man.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at a loss about how to deal with this. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that Frank is guilty, but the trial isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to be finished by the date of the wedding.

However, he is likely to be out on bail.

Frank has been one of my closest friends for

make our wedding â&#x20AC;&#x153;the one where the accused murderer showed up.â&#x20AC;?

Do I include him?

Should he maintain his place as my best man? If not, how do I rescind his invitation? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unsure in Canada

dearABBY !BIGAIL 6AN "UREN S *EANNE Phillips) COLUMN appears DURING THE WEEK THROUGH 5NIVERSAL Press 3YNDICATE

Dear Unsure: Considering the notoriety that now surrounds Frank, he should not be your best man. His presence at the altar would distract from the bride, who is supposed to be the center of attention.

This is the No. 1 no-no at weddings. However, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you should

many years, and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to abandon him, but his presence would unnerve many of the guests who know about this. My fiancee and I are concerned that having him there would

rescind your friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invitation to attend the wedding because he is innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Dear Abby: My girlfriend of 6 years spends weekends at my house, where she has her own room with her clothing and personal things.

Wanting her to be comfortable here, I have bought her some robes, PJs, slippers, etc., to use when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here.

One thing she never seems to have is underwear. She has even borrowed mine on occasion. So I shopped

online and put a dozen pair in her dresser drawer. I know her size, style and color preference, so I thought I might be the best boyfriend ever for doing it.

Oddly enough, she made no comment. And when I asked, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What kind of boyfriend does that? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SOOO weird.â&#x20AC;?

Abby, I was crushed. Did I go too far? Please tell me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not weird. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Dismayed in Dunkirk, N.Y. Dear Dismayed: Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not weird. You are a giver, and it is a trait

that should be appreciated. You did not deserve the putdown. Many women would have been touched by your thoughtfulness. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what kind of men your girlfriend has had in her life before you came along, but it seems they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spoil her the way youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to.

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

The great American philosopher and psychologist William James was fond of saying that when the outcome of some endeavor was in question, we would do well to believe what is in our best interest to believe. For example, if we are in a social situation where we are wondering whether someone is a friend or a foe, we are much better off assuming that they are a friend, because then we are likely to act in a friendly way toward them, and thus our belief that this person is a friend FIGSQIW E WIPJ JYP½PPMRK TVSTLIG] 0MOI[MWI MJ [I EVI EXXIQTXMRK WSQI HMJ½GYPX XEWO MX MX [MPP FI FIXXIV XS FIPMIZI XLEX [I GER HS MX ERH XS WII XLI HMJ½GYPX] EW E WXMQYPEXMRK GLEPPIRKI VEXLIV XLER ER SFWXEGPI [LMGL MW HIWXMRIH XS HIJIEX YW %W ,IRV] *SVH remarked,â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether you think you can or think you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, either way you are right.â&#x20AC;?

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL | 2A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP | PREVIEW STAUNTON (9-4) VS. NEWMAN (12-1) | 1 P.M. TODAY | HUSKIE STADIUM, DEKALB

Special state of mind Comets take pride in third phase

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 554

Staunton quarterback Jake Bruhn injured his ankle midway through the regular season. The injury contributed to a four-game losing streak to close the season. Since Bruhn returned at full strength to play offense, defense and special teams, the Bulldogs have been rolling. It will be the Newman Comets’ task to stop Bruhn and the Bulldogs today in the 2A state championship game in DeKalb.

SOMETHING NEW

Perennial power Newman charged to stop upstart Staunton

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 551

Newman qualifying for the 2A state football championship game really isn’t much of a surprise.

After all, the Comets have been to state six times before, and they almost made it in Class 3A in 2012 before losing to eventual champ Aurora Christian in the semifinals.

When Newman takes to the Huskie Stadium field today in DeKalb in search of its fifth state championship, its opponent, Staunton, is very much a surprise.

The Bulldogs finished the regular

season 5-4 and on a three-game losing streak. The combined scores of those three games was 136-50.

“I was talking to my coaching staff,” Staunton coach Mike Parmentier said, “and we joked that we didn’t even want a playoff bid.”

With 40 playoff points, however, Staunton was safely in the field, and has gone on an incredible playoff run since. The Bulldogs were considered an underdog in each of four playoff games, but a combination of good play and good fortune has them in position to play for a state championship.

Newman senior Bryce Ivey laughed when he heard the nickname longtime coach Mike Papoccia and the Comets coaching staff have for him: “The Wild Card.”

Ivey takes no offense. In fact, he’d like to adjust it just a little bit.

“I’m on the ‘Crazy Crew,’ so I think I’m a little Bryce Ivey more crazy than Newman wild,” said Ivey, senior a key member of Newman’s special teams unit with the mental moniker. “It’s an honor, really.”

Every team will tell you that it puts just as much emphasis on special teams as offense and defense, though a lot of the time that’s just coachspeak. The Comets, on the other hand, practice what they preach.

Each Newman practice is broken down into segments, with position-specific work followed by equal parts offense, defense and special teams. It’s been a calling card of the Comets ever since Papoccia took over the program 34 years ago.

That’s some jive turkey Lions score 37 unanswered to answer Sitton, Pack

BY NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer

DETROIT – Josh Sitton had to concede that this was a pretty one-sided loss.

Earlier this week, the Green Bay offensive lineman called Detroit’s defensive players “dirtbags” – and the Lions responded with a 40-10 rout of the Packers on Thursday.

Green Bay was outgained 561126, reaching triple digits only because of a long pass late in the fourth quarter, well after the outcome had been decided.

“No question that this is embarrassing,” Sitton said.

“I’ve been playing football for a

Green Bay (5-6-1) has a fivegame winless streak, coinciding directly with the absence of Aaron Rodgers, who fractured his collarbone against Chicago on Nov. 4. The Lions (7-5) turned the ball over four times, but even that wasn’t enough to prevent a blowout.

Matt Flynn, Green Bay’s fourth starting quarterback this season, was sacked seven times, once by Ndamukong Suh for a safety.

“You don’t want to say that we can’t win without Aaron, but he’s been out for five games and we haven’t won any of them,” Sitton said. “He’s our best player, and this is tough.”

Sitton didn’t mince words in an interview Tuesday with Milwaukee radio station WSSP 1250.

“Their entire defense takes AP cheap shots all the time,” he Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh (90) sacks Packers said. “That’s what they do. quarterback Matt Flynn for a safety Thursday at Ford Field in That’s who they are.”

After the Green Bay offensive line looked overmatched against the Lions, Sitton stood by his comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take back anything I said, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to stand here and discuss it again. They played great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No one ever said they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great defensive front. They are probably the best inside combination in the league. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the way I feel.â&#x20AC;?

The Lions would have been motivated anyway â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they had lost nine straight on Thanksgiving â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the win was especially satisfying after Sittonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just adding fuel to the fire,â&#x20AC;? Detroit cornerback Rashean Mathis

Packers guard Josh Sitton (71) walks back to the sideline Thursday at Ford Field in Detroit. Sittonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s incendiary comments seemed to fire up the Lions in Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40-10 loss. said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waking up sleeping dogs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how he felt, he expressed it and we responded.â&#x20AC;?

Flynn threw for 480 yards and six touchdowns against Detroit in the final game of the 2011 regular season. This outing couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been more different. He went 10-for-20 for 139 yards with an interception and two fumbles.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They might have a lot of the same guys, but I can say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a different defense. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re flying around, creating havoc,â&#x20AC;? Flynn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a quarterback, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all kind of had those games offensively when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get into a rhythm and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting off the field too much.

Makes for a tough day.â&#x20AC;?

Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Matthew

Stafford was 22-for-35 for 330 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He also had a fumble, which was returned 1 yard by Morgan Burnett for Green Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only touchdown.

The Packers led 10-3 in the second quarter, but once the Lions stopped turning the ball over, this was a mismatch.

Reggie Bush ran for a 1-yard touchdown to give Detroit a 17-10 lead late in the first half. He finished with 117 yards rushing and 65 receiving.

Detroitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Joique Bell ran for 94 yards and a score. Calvin Johnson had six receptions for 101 yards, including a 20-yard TD that put the Lions up 24-10 early in the third quarter.

The Packers have been leaning on rookie running back Eddie Lacy lately, but he was limited to 16 yards on 10 carries against one of the NFLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best defenses against the run.

Ravens hang on, Cowboys rally "Y 4HE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Justin Tucker kicked five field goals, and the Baltimore Ravens stopped a 2-point conversion with 1:03 left to survive a comeback bid by the Pittsburgh Steelers and escape with a 22-20 victory Thursday night at home.

After Pittsburgh scored on a 1-yard touchdown pass from Ben Roethlisberger to Jerricho Cotchery to get within two points, Roethlisbergerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conversion pass slipped through the hands of Emmanuel Sanders, who was screened by Chykie Brown.

The victory provided the Ravens (6-6) with their first winning streak since September, and pushed them ahead of the Steelers (5-7) and four other teams in the race for the final wildcard slot in the AFC. It also avenged a 19-16 loss to their division rivals last month.

Tucker connected on kicks of 43, 34, 38, 45 and 48 yards after Joe Flacco threw a firstquarter touchdown pass to Torrey Smith.

Cowboys 31, Raiders 24: DeMarco Murray ran

for three touchdowns, backup Lance Dunbar had a career-high 82 yards rushing, and Dallas overcame Oaklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fumble return for a score on the opening kickoff in Arlington, Texas.

Murray had 63 yards rushing, but his highlight was the finishing work, including a 7-yard score to put Dallas ahead for good early in the fourth quarter.

Dunbar, who went out with a left knee sprain, sparked the tying and go-ahead touchdown drives in the second half, highlighted by a 45-yard run that led to a 4-yard scoring pass from Tony Romo to Dez Bryant.

The Cowboys (7-5) moved two games above .500 for the first time since late last season.

The Raiders (4-8) guaranteed an 11th straight season without a winning record.

Matt McGloin had a strong first half for the Raiders, leading consecutive TD drives that put Oakland up 21-7.

NO. 23 IOWA 77, XAVIER 74, OT

No quit in Iowa Hawkeyes rally past Xavier for OT win

BY TIM REYNOLDS !0 "ASKETBALL 7RITER

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Roy Devyn Marble scored 30 points before leaving with a leg injury, and No. 23 Iowa rallied from a 15-point, second-half deficit to beat Xavier 77-74 in overtime at the Battle 4 Atlantis quarterfinals Thursday.

The Hawkeyes (6-0) never led in regulation, but never trailed in overtime.

Zach McCabe scored 11 points, and Gabriel Olaseni had 10 points, 11 rebounds and four blocks for the Hawkeyes. Aaron Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-point night ended with a clutch tip-in with 1:40 left in overtime.

Xavier (5-1) had three 3-point tries all bounce off the rim in the final 10 seconds. Justin Martin led the Musketeers with 15 points, Semaj Christon added 14, Myles Davis scored 12 and Matt Stainbrook finished with 11.

Iowa will meet either Tennessee or Texas-El Paso in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinals, with Xavier facing the other in the consolation round.

Xavier led by 15 early in the second half and wasted it all. The Musketeers had 55 points in the first 28 minutes of regulation, then 14 in the final 12 minutes before overtime.

And Iowa was making life pretty easy on the Musketeers. The Hawkeyes missed 13 of their first 15 shots of the second half, and even gave Xavier two bonus points during intermission. As the teams were leaving the floor for halftime, Iowa coach Fran McCaffery earned a technical foul for arguing with the referees, so 37-30 became 39-30 after a pair of free throws before the second half started.

Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Roy Devyn Marble (4) glides in for a layup as teammate Aaron White (30) and Xavierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Myles Davis look on Thursday during a Battle 4 Atlantis quarterfinal in Paradise Island, Bahamas. Marble scored 30 points as Iowa won 77-74 in overtime.

Star of the game: Roy Devyn Marble, Iowa, POINTS REBOUNDS

STEALS ASSISTS Up next: "ATTLE !TLANTIS SEMIFINAL )OWA VS 54%0 4ENNESSEE WINNER P M TODAY AT THE "AHAMAS TV: ."# 3PORTS Xavierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead was 55-42 with 12 minutes left.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Iowa remembered to start putting the ball through the hole.

A 3-pointer by Marble, a dunk from Aaron White and another 3 from Marble â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all in the span of about 70 seconds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; got Iowa right back into things. Another stop led to a possession where Marble hit a pair of free throws with 8:09 left, and Melsahn Basabeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dunk in transition capped a 12-0 run that drew Iowa within 55-54.

Xavier pushed the lead back to six, with Stainbrookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-point play and assist on another basket, before Iowa closed within one yet again.

With 2:06 left in regulation and Iowa down four, the Hawkeyes figured to have lost their best shot at a comeback.

Marble, who was getting his right calf worked on during at least one previous timeout because of cramping, went down near his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bench because of another cramp, writing and screaming in obvious pain.

He had 30 of Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 63 points at the time, as well as six rebounds, three steals and two assists, and without him, the Hawkeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; comeback chore figured to get considerably tougher.

No Marble?

No problem, somehow.

Staunton playing underdog card NEW

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been like a dream,â&#x20AC;?

Parmentier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if they know the magnitude of the situation each time they take the field. They just go out, play the game, and things have been going our way now for a month. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been an unbelievable ride.â&#x20AC;?

Newman coach Mike Papoccia admitted itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bit of a surprise to have Staunton standing between his team and a state title. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a run,â&#x20AC;?

Papoccia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The biggest opponent we have with dealing with Staunton is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on a high. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hitting on all cylinders. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing their best football of the year, and they believe. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be our toughest part to defend those guys.â&#x20AC;?

Staunton began the season with four wins, but storm clouds were brewing. In the fourth of those victories, a 38-26 decision against Litchfield, senior 3-year quarterback Jake Bruhn went down with a sprained ankle. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play at all the next week, a 34-14 loss to Carlinville.

Bruhn played in the second half of a 41-6 victory over Southwestern High School from Piasa in Week 6, then aggravated the injury in the second quarter of a 63-28 loss against eventual Class 3A semifinalist Greenville in Week 7.

Bruhn, who also lines up at safety and is on all the Staunton special teams, played only quarterback in a Week 8 loss to Roxana (35-14) and a Week 9 setback against Gillespie (38-8). â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were down 38-0 to Gillespie, and we scored a touchdown with a couple of minutes to go against their second-string on our home field,â&#x20AC;? Parmentier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dillan Heffelfinger fight for yards during last Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal game against Mercer County. Newman will go for its fifth state title on Friday against Staunton in DeKalb. weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be able to come back from that.â&#x20AC;?

The turning point came a few days before the playoff opener, against Fairfield. Bruhn approached Parmentier and pronounced himself healthy enough to play defense and special teams, in addition to quarterback, that week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a huge deal for the guys,â&#x20AC;? Parmentier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the boost we needed.â&#x20AC;?

Staunton won their playoff opener 8-0. The next week, against Carlyle, the Bulldogs scored on a fourth-down play with 2 minutes left to pull out a 19-14 victory.

In the quarterfinals, Staunton faced a rematch against Gillespie, and was dominant in posting a 30-14 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gillespie is probably our main rival down here,â&#x20AC;? Parmentier said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that was such a big game for us. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when we really knew we had something going on.â&#x20AC;?

In the semifinals, the magic continued in a 32-28 win against Auburn, in which they erased a 28-18 deficit.

In the final 5 minutes, a long kickoff return by Bruhn set up a touchdown that got Staunton within one score.

Then a 33-yard pass from Bruhn to junior wide receiver Marcus Sitko in the final minute was the game-winner. Sitko caught the pass between a

pair of Auburn defenders who were both in position to make the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our confidence has just been growing the last 4 weeks,â&#x20AC;? Parmentier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played some good football, but the big thing is we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been beating ourselves with fumbles or penalties or silly mistakes. A little luck also hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt.â&#x20AC;?

Unlike ground-andpound Newman, Staunton doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a definitive offensive style, switching from multipleback sets to four-wide receiver sets at the drop of a hat. Papoccia picked up on that in watching two playoff tapes, against Fairfield and Auburn. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a typical team that makes it down there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they run them all pretty well,â&#x20AC;? Papoccia said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have our hands full defensively.â&#x20AC;?

Defensively, the Bulldogs run a 3-5-3 set similar to the one that Newman employs. The results, however, are hardly comparable.

While Staunton has outscored its 13 opponents just 334-296, Newman has allowed just 162 points while scoring 529. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are an impressive offensive football team,â&#x20AC;? said Parmentier, who watched tape of Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoff wins against Momence and Mercer County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their ground attack is outstanding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got the whole

package with a physical line and all those backs.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great challenge for us.â&#x20AC;?

The Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; front wall of center David Rowzee, guards Jacob Barnes and Jacob Monier, and tackles Noah Leffelman and Jakob Vetter were at the peak of their powers against Mercer County.

Newman ran 71 offensive plays to the Golden Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 28, playing an effective game of keepaway against the defending 2A state champs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole team is a bond in itself, but especially the linemen,â&#x20AC;?

Monier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During practices, we really work hard together as a unit.

We know each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strengths and weaknesses, so we can help each other out. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put each other down.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Mercer County has] a really impressive defense, and really flew to the ball,â&#x20AC;? Leffelman added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I just thought we showed a lot of determination by grinding it out, playing Newman football and getting into the end zone a couple of times.â&#x20AC;?

Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense, meanwhile, was equally impressive a week ago in shutting out a Mercer County team that had been averaging 33.2 points per game.

If the Comets are to have that kind of success against Staunton, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely have to slow down Bruhn. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passed for 1,137 yards and rushed for another 263, but more than mere statistics, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the unquestioned leader of the team. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of just three returning starters for the Bulldogs, along with running back/ linebacker Dustin Scheller and lineman Jack Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just not the same team without Bruhn on the field,â&#x20AC;?

Parmentier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he came back close to 100 percent for the playoffs, it was like a light went on for our team.â&#x20AC;?

Comets send message with special teams SPECIAL CONTINUED FROM B1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that special teams are just as big a deal as our offense and defense,â&#x20AC;? senior running back and return man Jake Snow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do just as much work and put in just as much effort in the kicking and return games as the other stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Ivey calls special teams â&#x20AC;&#x153;a priorityâ&#x20AC;? week in and week out, and looks at it as a chance to shine for some players who maybe donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the reps on offense or defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Special teams are made for special plays,â&#x20AC;?

Ivey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all take pride in being out there.

If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do it, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, because there are how many other guys who want to do it just to get on the field and get a piece of the action.â&#x20AC;?

While the Comets have yet to return a kickoff or punt for a touchdown this year, they also havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given up a special teams score. But TDs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only measuring stick Papoccia uses

to grade his squadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Field positionâ&#x20AC;? is a term that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get bandied about a lot in higher levels of football.

Sure, a reference here or there is made to it, but only if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a telling stat or heavily skewed one way or the other.

At Newman, field position is meticulously tracked, and with the traditional ground-andpound attack, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crucial piece of the puzzle for success. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love getting shorter fields than our opponents,â&#x20AC;? Papoccia said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come to count on and expect. Special teams is as big a part of our wins and losses as anything else, and those guys take a lot of pride in that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really expected to get some touchdowns off our returns this year, but it just hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happened yet; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got one more game, so maybe we can still get a couple. But we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t given anything up with our coverage units, either, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take that any day.â&#x20AC;?

TODAY!!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Field positionâ&#x20AC;? is also a mantra for Snow and his fellow return men.

Every time theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for a kick to nestle in their arms, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about the benefits of any return, not just a game-breaker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re never satisfied with just taking the ball on the 20,â&#x20AC;? Snow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can get a return out to the 35 or 40, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for us to move the ball 60 yards than 80. Plus, if we end up punting, it gives us a better chance of pinning the other team deep if we start out farther up the field, so it works both ways.â&#x20AC;?

Without the big plays, special teams often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the limelight. But talk to Ivey and his best friend Brandon Ahlgrim, Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kicker and punter, and you soon realize that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a different breed who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in it for the accolades or attention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Crazy Crewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; because they sprint down the field at full steam and just run into other dudes â&#x20AC;Ś and they love it,â&#x20AC;? Ahlgrim

said, shaking his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some good guys filling those roles, but it definitely takes a little bit of craziness to do that.â&#x20AC;?

Ivey said blowing down the field full-tilt toward an unsuspecting return man or blocker is his favorite part of football â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as is setting the tone early on for what the next 2+ hours will entail. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so much fun, really exhilarating, something we really look forward to,â&#x20AC;? Ivey said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can take a free shot at anyone you want when you get down the field, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing they can do about it because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re standing still and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going full speed.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the highlight of the game, to me. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And as the first play, that opening kickoff sends a message to the other team that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to smash them in the mouth and play hard-nosed football. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good way to get the momentum started on our side before we even run a play on offense or defense.â&#x20AC;?

Planning for bids may help results

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

First in print in 2002, “A Treasury of Bidding Tips” by Eddie Kantar (Master Point Press) has been modernized by the author. He has also added a few more tips, bringing the number up to 554.

Look at the South hand.

Your partner opens one diamond and East overcalls two clubs. What would be your auction plan?

Tip 303 is: Negative doubles at the one- and twolevels with five- and six-card suits are limited. They show a maximum of 10 high-card points. With more, bid the long suit directly. Think of a negative double followed by a new suit as trying to put brakes on the bidding sequence.

Here, South should double,

planning to bid a minimum number of hearts on the next round. North will presumably rebid two spades (not three spades with a probably useless club queen and no

guarantee of a 4-4 fit), and South continues with three hearts, which should end the auction.

What happens to the contract after West leads the club two?

East, who can see only three defensive winners, takes two club tricks, then has two feasible defenses.

If he shifts to the ace and another spade, declarer gets home by continuing with the ace and queen of hearts; but if South tries the heart finesse, he suffers a spade ruff and finishes down one.

Alternatively, and better here, East continues with a third club. Suppose declarer ruffs on the board and takes the trump finesse. West wins with the king, puts East on play with a spade, and a fourth club promotes West’s heart 10 to the setting trick. © 2013 UFS

Proceed with caution in calling 900 phone numbers. All phone numbers prefixed by â&#x20AC;&#x153;900â&#x20AC;? are charged to the CALLER. Charges may be assessed on a â&#x20AC;&#x153;per minuteâ&#x20AC;? basis rather than a â&#x20AC;&#x153;per callâ&#x20AC;? basis.
