Railings back on city’s radar Council to vote on full repairs Monday

DIXON – The rigmarole of repairing and repainting the railings on Galena Avenue

Bridge will be back on the city’s radar Monday.

Last week, the council decided during a special meeting to fix half the railings rather than the full set, because the west side was not showing the same

extent of corrosion as the east, and said plan of action could save about $60,000.

The corrosion occurred from water and other material like road salt that had leaked into the railings and rotted them from the inside out.

Council members had voted

down a proposal for Bellini’s Custom Welding and Auto Repair to repair all four of the railings for $178,000, but they plan to readdress the option Monday after being told the state plans to up its contribution to the project.

ight. Neither art nor artist can do much without it.

Take, for instance, the new track lighting installed in the very professional-looking art gallery on the second floor of the east mall at Sauk Valley

Community College. It brings to life the prints and drawings of guest artist Chris Holbrook, adjunct faculty at Bradley University.

On a much more personal note, take Sammi Poe, a 22-year-old sophomore from Leaf River, who’s ridden art out of the shadows.

“I’m just really happy to be

here, honestly,” said Poe, who’s working predominantly with graphic design. “It helps me.

I’m not just left in the dark at home, doing nothing with my life. Honestly, I’d kind of spiraled down, because two of my family members passed away. I had to get myself back up.”

STERLING – The city’s tax levy process will begin in earnest at Monday’s City Council meeting, and an actuary will be there to field questions about the city’s pension responsibilities.

The city is coming off a hefty tax levy increase of 18.76 percent last year, the first in which state-mandated changes were instituted for how recommended contributions to fire and police pensions are calculated.

That increase cost the owner of a $100,000 home about an additional $122 a year. A utilities fee was also approved last year that was projected to bring the city an additional $700,000 in revenue.

While the city won’t receive the first draft of a tax levy proposal until its Nov. 21 meeting, preliminary figures indicate property taxpayers won’t be getting another double-digit increase this year.

LEARN AND LIVE

Classic confronts modern struggle I

can’t decide whether to curse Ray Bradbury or thank him.

Two days after scooping up “Fahrenheit 451,�

I’ve nearly finished reading the 1953 classic that turned out to be more of a premonition than the portrait of a dystopian future some mistake it for.

For those of you who weren’t required to read it in high school, and haven’t read it for leisure like this weirdo, it’s about suppression of individual thought and discourse. In the world he paints, books are illegal, and firefighters’ primary job is to burn any books squirreled away by the few free-thinkers who still exist.

Wednesday night, between innings of Game 7, I tumbled farther down the rabbit hole I didn’t see coming when I cracked the cover.

Faber, one of those free-thinkers, explains to the protagonist, Montag, the demise of not just books, but also newspapers:

christopher HEIMERMAN Heimerman is the Enterprise and Projects Editor at SVM. He can be reached at cheimerman@ saukvalley. com or 815-625-3600, ext. 5523.

“I remember the newspapers dying like huge moths,� the novel reads. “No one wanted them back.

No one missed them.

And then the Government [sic], seeing how advantageous it was to have people reading only about passionate lips and the fist in the stomach, circled the situation with your fireeaters.�

If you’d been in the room, you could have pinpointed the moment my heart broke in half.

Sure, the government banned books, but the thought of regular, everyday people choosing oblivioninduced happiness

over opinions, investigations, and a spectrum of human emotion, the sort of kaleidoscope it’s supposed to be? That thought made my blood run cold.

Bradbury’s prediction felt like the present: So many of us mindlessly scrolling through our social media feeds, rather than picking up a newspaper or a book.

Forget the carrot that could sharpen your eyesight when you can have the cookie that so thoroughly satisfies, if only for a moment.

Besides, the cookie fills you up, right? Maybe

IN BRIEF

Candy not laced with marijuana

Apply for a free Thanksgiving meal

BY GOLDIE RAPP Shaw Media grapp@shawmedia.com

MANLIUS – Suspected marijuana-laced candy given to trick-or-treaters Sunday turned out not to be so.

Parents turned Crunch Choco Bar candy in wrappers that appeared to have small marijuana leaves over to the Bureau County Sheriff’s Office on Sunday.

A field test read positive for the intoxicant

THC, but a more thorough test at the state crime lab in Morton showed the candy did not contain the chemical and was safe to eat, Sheriff Jim Reed said in a news release Wednesday.

The candy likely was made in Japan, and the leaves may have been Japanese maple leaves, which resemble marijuana leaves.

His department sent a precautionary news

release after the field test because there wasn’t time to wait for the crime lab results, with Halloween coming up the next day, Reed said.

Although there is room for error in a field test, he’s never seen a false positive for marijuana, Reed said. “To get a positive reaction out of this candy is a concern ... That’s why we were taking this seriously.�

They asked great questions, too. All of it helped me imagine them in a cube nearby mine in a few years, or at the very least, writing a letter to the editor the next time they feel strongly about an issue playing out nearby, nationally or globally.

MOUNT CARROLL

Voters will get to decide how to replace clerk Referendum will ask whether it should be up to voters or council

BY PHILLIP HARTMAN phartman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5525 @phartman19

MOUNT CARROLL – Voters will decide Tuesday whether picking a new city clerk should be up to them or the City Council.

City Clerk Julie Cuckler’s 4-year term ends in April, and she’s considering retirement. She’s been in her role since 1985 and served as deputy clerk from 1978 to 1981.

“The only way to handle it was to put it on the ballot,” she said. “It has to be put before the

voters, and it can only be changed this way.”

Alderman Mike Risko supports appointing a clerk, and said it would take approval by five council members to hire or fire a clerk.

“If the city clerk position were to become an appointed position, the City Council would have the opportunity to hire the most qualified applicant,” he Risko.

The proposition on the ballot reads: “Shall the City of Mt. Carroll appoint rather than elect the office of City Clerk?”

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

Mayor Li Arellano Jr. said the Illinois Department of Transportation has agreed to fund up to $150,000, an increase of $50,000, of expenses if work is done on both sides of the bridge.

He said doing the full repairs will help provide IDOT with peace of mind until the bridge reappears on its to-do list of improvements, which could be anywhere from 10 to 25 years.

“It makes it that much easier to knock out any worries about future problems,” he said.

The total bridge railings project will be about $451,000, including the $269,000 portion for St. Louis-based Coatings Unlimited Inc. for sandblasting and repainting.

The city also plans to vote

Arellano said emergency repairs are usually twice as costly as scheduled fixes, and the city plans to look into what other infrastructure

City Manager Scott Shumard said the early projections point to a 6.83 percent overall tax levy increase. The fire pension portion of the levy is up 16.31 percent, while police pensions are showing a 16.31 percent increase.

Shumard said the 6.83 percent levy hike would fund the police and fire pensions at the full amount recommended by the city’s actuarial firm, Warrenville-based Lauterbach & Amen.

“The way the pension funding ratios are figured now, we never considered funding at the minimum,” Shumard said.

“We always aim for the maximum funding level, because if we don’t pay now, the next tax increase will be much worse.”

measures against cities that underfund pensions are part of a plan to get serious about the state’s goal to have pension systems 90 percent funded by 2045.

Shumard decided to bring in a representative from the actuarial firm to help navigate the complexities of the state’s

new pension funding rules.

“Traditionally, I would bring in an actuary to talk to the pension groups individually, and then I’d try to explain everything to the council as best I can, but as complicated as it’s become, I thought I’d get the professionals behind the numbers to help.”

Like Rock Falls, Sterling will receive money next year from an increase in the rural fire tax levy.

Shumard said he expects an additional $200,000, which will be used to pad the general fund.

Projected drops in pension fund investment returns play a part in the city’s plans for maximum funding.

“The actuaries have changed the projected rate of return from 7 percent to 6.5 percent,” Shumard said.

Cities don’t have to fund pensions at the recommended maximum, but there are statutory minimums they must hit. If police and fire pensions aren’t funded at the minimum level set by actuaries, the state can divert local tax dollars to those funds.

improvements might be needed going forward.

The council will also discuss partnering with the county and the state to repair the old Lee County courthouse’s collapsed portion of retaining wall along Galena Avenue.

Part of the wall collapsed 3 years ago, and the city and state have argued back and forth since then on whose responsibility it is to fix it.

Repairs to the wall along Galena Avenue and preemptive work on Second Street where parts of the wall are beginning to fail will cost between $64,000 and $78,000.

“There’s concern that the weakest link has given in and collapsed, but more might follow,” Arellano said.

If the city, county and state split the project equally, the cost would range from $21,000 to $26,000.

ELECTION 2016 | WHITESIDE COUNTY BOARD

Experience versus fresh perspective Six vying for four seats in District 2

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5535 @KathleenSchul10

MORRISON – Six candidates – four incumbent Democrats and two Republican challengers – are vying for four seats in the traditionally Democratic Whiteside County Board District 2.

Eight of the district’s nine seats are held by Democrats. It encompasses Coloma, Montmorency, Hume, Hahnaman, Tampico, Lyndon and Hopkins townships in the southeastern portion of the county.

Some terms are 4 years, others are 2; lots will be drawn after the election to determine who gets which terms.

Here are the candidates:

Fidencio Campos Jr. Party: Democrat Age: 63 Residence: Rock Falls Occupation: Steelworker with Northwestern Steel and Wire Co., now Sterling Steel.

Campos was appointed to the board in March 2015; this is his first run for the office.

He is treasurer of the Whiteside County Community Health Clinic Governing Fidencio Council, and Campos Jr. is a member of the county board’s Highway and Public Works Committee, which oversees the care and maintenance of roads and bridges, the Prairie Hill Landfill, and the Whiteside County Airport.

He is a member of the board of NCI Works, which works with businesses, educators, nonprofits and individuals in eight counties to coordinate resources, provide leadership, and create a workforce development system that enables workers to work and businesses to compete. He also sits on NCI’s Targeted Populations Committee, which helps felons, veterans and people with disabilities find jobs.

He is a founding member of Rock River Open Forum, a group that serves as a conduit for civic activism in the community.

He is a native of the Sterling-Rock Falls area, graduated from Sterling High School and also attended Sauk Valley Community College.

A steelworker since he was 19, Campos also is recording secretary of United Steel Workers Local 63.

While he has worn many hats – steelworker, musician (guitar, sax, and voice), online entrepreneur, martial arts teacher and kickboxer – politics is something he has come to relatively lately, but with great enthusiasm.

“I am running for the county board because this area is my home. I want to help make life better for the people I love in this great county that has sustained my family and me,” Campos said.

“One of my favorite quotes is ‘We all do better when we all do better.’ I’ve learned from experience that democracy isn’t a spectator sport. If you want government to work, you have to be involved.”

John Espinoza Party: Democrat Age: 73 Residence: Rock Falls Occupation: Retired Northwestern Steel and Wire Co. worker, 1965-2000.

Espinoza, a 1961 Sterling High grad, is a lifelong Whiteside County resident, as well as a Marine Corps veteran.

He served 3 years, attaining the rank of corporal.

He first was elected to the board in 2006, and is seeking his third term.

He sits on John the Whiteside Espinoza County Community Health Clinic and Senior Center boards, and is a member of the county’s Offices Committee, which oversees the county clerk, assessor and recorder and the Regional Office of Education.

As a former member of its Public Works Committee, Espinoza represented the board at Planning and Zoning and Airport committee meetings. He’s also a former member of the Whiteside County Public Transportation board.

He also is a Rock Falls Police and Fire Department commissioner.

In 2015, he served on Lt. Gov. Evelyn Sanguinetti’s bipartisan Local Government and Unfunded Mandates Task Force. Its purpose was to prevent the wasting of tax dollars and to reduce the unfunded mandates asked of local governments by the state.

He is a charter and current member of Whiteside County Honor Flight, and a former member of the American Red Cross and Latin American Social Club boards. He also volunteers his time with and donates to the new Soldier’s Lounge in Sterling, and is a member of the Rock Falls American Legion.

Espinoza is a voracious reader, and children and education always have been a big part of his volunteer efforts.

He is a former board member and current volunteer for Twin Cities Scholarships, an organization he’s been with since 1988. He was a “Book Buddies” volunteer reading tutor at Dillon Elementary School, and has coached tee-ball and Little League. He also hopes one day to carve out enough time to volunteer for Project Vital, a Sauk Valley Community College literacy program for adults.

He’s also the social officer for the Sterling Chapter 30 of Royal Neighbors of America and a member of the Association of Clubs in SterlingRock Falls.

He, too, cites the state budget as Whiteside’s biggest challenge – “but there’s not anything much we can do about that at our level.” He notes the efforts board members make to hold the line on costs, and to finds savings where they can. As an example, he noted that the county and two of its neighbors came to an agreement to share GIS services, lowering the costs for all three governments.

He’s also proud of the board’s work with other counties on economic development issues. Whiteside and Carroll are in the process of hammering out such an agreement, he said.

In fact, Espinoza can sum up his leadership philosophy in one word: collaboration. He has no stomach for

bipartisan bickering – which is notably, and thankfully, absent on from the county board, he said.

His first stint on the board was to fill the last 2 months of a departing member’s term, but when the late board Chairman Tony Arduini asked him to fill in, “I really had mixed feelings.” The political climate was much like today, with Dems and Republicans fighting like cats and dogs.

“I didn’t really want to get into that, but our Whiteside County Board is not like that at all, and after those 2 months, I was ready to run.”

That cooperative atmosphere remains to this day, he said. “After all is said and done, it’s all Whiteside County business. We talk to people about what they need, and then we try to get it for them.

“Not to say we don’t argue – we all argue and discuss, but not along political lines.

We’ve got good people, Republicans and Democrats, and they all really care about Whiteside County.”

Eugene ‘Gene’ Jacoby Party: Democrat Age: 67 Residence: Rock Falls Occupation: Retired, after 8 years with Illinois Tollway; 27 years at Northwestern Steel and Wire before that.

Jacoby, a lifelong Whiteside County resident, first Eugene was elected to ‘Gene’ Jacoby the board in 1998.

He is vice chairman and a past chairman of the Health and Social Services Committee, which oversees the Health Department, the Veterans Assistance Commission, the University of Illinois Extension, the 708 Mental Health Board, on which he sits, and the Senior Center Board, and also is on the CGH Ambulance Committee.

He also was a Coloma Township Board member for 38 years, and is a former member of the Whiteside County Board of Health.

He is a member of the Whiteside County Honor Flight committee, and also of the Rock Falls Sesquicentennial Committee.

He has served Whiteside County Relay for Life for 15 years, 5 as a board member.

He also is a board member of Rock River Ducks Unlimited, the Rock Falls Optimist Club and the Sterling Moose Lodge, and is a member of the Rock Falls American Legion, the VFW, the Latin American Social Club and the Sterling-Rock Falls Historical Society.

All that experience makes him uniquely qualified to continue to serve on the county board, said Jacoby, a Sterling High School graduate who also attended Sauk Valley Community College and Northern Illinois University.

“I have been a caring voice for Whiteside County for 18 years,” he said. “I pride myself on the fact that I always try to work with our department heads, and with the citizens.”

Jacoby is a firm believer in open doors and in open lines of communication – “it’s the most important things in all areas of government” – and he makes sure his phone number is posted on the

county website and available in the phone book.

“People can always call me with their concerns. I’m a very visible person. I think that all elected officials should have a telephone number where people can get a hold of them.”

He, too, sees the state’s financial situation as one of Whiteside’s biggest hurdles – 43 percent of the county’s funding come from the state, Jacoby said, and trying to keep the local budget balanced is challenging.

Although it’s too soon to release specifics, he said, there is good news on the economic development front – “some very exciting things” are coming the board’s way, he said, especially along Interstate 88 – and the board will continue to work with county Economic Development Director Gary Camarano and other neighboring counties to bring those projects to fruition, he said.

Cooperation, like communication, is paramount, Jacoby said.

“We all need to work together. We need to think out of the box, all of our counties, to make things happen. If we’re going to survive, we need to all work together.”

Karen M. Nelson Party: Democrat Age: 76 Residence: Rock Falls Occupation: Retired, after 20 years as supervisor for the state’s Job Service and Unemployment office and 5 years with the Illinois DepartKaren M. ment of NatuNelson ral Resources.

Nelson, a Rock Falls resident for nearly 70 years, first was elected to the County Board in 2000. She has served on the board’s Judicial and Financial committees, and is chairwoman of its Health and Social Services committee.

She is on the Whiteside County Board of Health and the community clinic’s Federally Qualified Health Clinic Council. She is a past member of the Whiteside County Transportation Board.

She is chairwoman of the local American Red Cross Disaster Assistance Team, which responds to local disasters and fire calls, and, at 76, still is an active Red Cross volunteer. She has responded to several major national disasters, including Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana and Hurricane Isaac in Mississippi, and three others this year alone, including helping out in floodravaged Baton Rouge.

The Tampico High School graduate, who has an associate degree from Sauk Valley Community College, also is a Red Cross board member, and a past chairwoman.

As chairwoman of the Health and Social Services Committee – which oversees the Health Department, the Veterans Assistance Commission, University of Illinois Extension, the 708 Mental Health Board and the Senior Citizens Board – the effects of the state funding crisis weigh heavily Nelson’s mind.

“The state needs a budget.

That’s probably our biggest question mark, are we going to have a budget?”

Local levies help support area social services, and the county has money in its reserves, but without a reliable source of state revenue,

“you’re going by the seat of your pants,” she said.

She credits county Administrator Joel Horn’s budgeting skills with helping the county maintain social services funding, so far without any cuts – and none anticipated – but “if something doesn’t happen soon after the election,” she said, tough decisions may have to be made. And she’s prepared to make them.

That desire may stem in part from the hard times she has endured in her lifetime. Pennell speaks openly of her alcoholism – she hasn’t had a drink in nearly 4 decades – and of her faith, in God and her fellow man.

“I believe strongly in integrity. Even if you struggle with certain issues, you can always make a 180-degree change, which I did.”

Linda S. Pennell

John Petry

Age: 67 Party: Republican Residence: Rock Falls Occupation: Educator, licensed paraprofessional assistant, at the ROE Safe School Thome and Sterling schools.

Before that, she was a manager for Seattle SutLinda S. ton’s Healthy Pennell Eating for 12 years.

Pennell is tenacious in her desire to serve.

Then Linda Marley, she was a Sterling alderwoman-atlarge for 4 years, from 2009 to 2013, before stepping down to marry and move to Rock Falls.

This is her second run for District 2: Her first was in November 2014. It was followed by an unsuccessful run for Rock Falls City Council in April 2015.

“I knew that when I moved to Rock Falls, I was going to find a way to get involved in politics again,” she said in a campaign letter to Sauk Valley Media for the April election. “It is in my blood; what can I say?”

To that end, Pennell also is a Precinct 5 committeewoman; an active member of the Whiteside County Republican Party; and is working hard to help Savanna Mayor Tony McCombie defeat Democratic state Rep. Mike Smiddy in the 71st District race.

She’s a member of the Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce board, working on Summer Splash, Hometown Holidays and other chamber events, and has been chosen its Ambassador of the Year three times.

She’s almost as passionate about her chamber work, in fact, as she is about her political aspirations. “I try to be really, really involved with everything the Rock Falls Chamber of Commerce does,” she said.

She’s also a former member of the American Red Cross and was involved with REACT, which was kind of a neighborhood watch group.

The 1967 Rock Falls High graduate has an associate degree from Kaplan University, and is near to completing her work on a bachelor’s in government and public policy, her true calling.

She has a lot of respect for the current administration – “I know that the county board is doing really good with their money and with everything that they do,” she said – but it needs “fresh ideas and new blood.”

If elected, she’d like to help work on legislative issues that affect the county, and in any capacity in which she can help fight what she sees as an epidemic in suicides.

Age: 56 Party: Republican Residence: Morrison Occupation: AT&T technician for 20 years Petry, appointed Hopkins Township trustee about 2 years ago, is an independent thinker with few ties to area groups and organizations – which means he’s John beholden to Petry none of them, he said.

He grew up in Lisle, in an area more rural than it is today, and his job as a technician for AT&T brought him to the area from Addison – he’s been living in Morrison since 1999. He also served in the Marine Corps 10 years, attaining the rank of sergeant.

He’d like to see less secrecy and more openness in the economic development process from the beginning – people deserve to know what’s happening in their communities before decisions are finalized, Petry said, giving a for-example.

“The Wahl Double G ranch has been bulldozed. Does that mean a truck stop is coming? A strip club? Why? Why not?”

He’s also not pleased with the spread of TIF districts, which supposedly are created to spur growth, but often give tax incentives to not-sodeserving businesses that simply move from, say, the downtown to a TIF, to take advantage of those breaks.

That kind of nongrowth actually is harmful, he said.

“I’ve seen small towns decimated by well-meaning politicians,” all in the name of progress, Petry said.

He’s also not a union man.

“I pay union dues, but I’m not in the union, because I object to the way they spend their money. I support state workers, but I don’t support state unions.”

He is concerned about the number of board members who simply are entrenched, stuck in their ways for years, decades, and also has no patience for people who complain about how they are governed, but don’t step up and do something.

“I see so much of the oldboy network, it makes me sick,” he said, adding that his would be a fresh perspective and “definitely a new voice.”

Petry might not have many affiliations, but he doesn’t need that kind of experience to be an engaged, effective county board member, he said.

“I live here, I work here. It’s the friends I work with, the people I associate with, the shops I shop in.”

Celebrated artists’ work on display in art gallery SHINE

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

That resonates with Glenn Bodish, who’s in his first year as an art instructor at Sauk, but has sculpted a life, a career, out of art effects.

“Sammi’s found her tribe,” Bodish said. “I was once in the same position as Sammi: I had a knack for art since I was a kid, but never really found myself in that right place.”

He grew up in onceindustrial giants Allentown and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but left in the 1980s because, just like in Sterling more recently, industry crumbled. He and his wife, Beth Smaka, raised their sons, Elijah and Holt, in Montana, where he taught art at the University of Montana Western while directing the Historic Clark Chateau Museum & Gallery in Butte.

Today, he calls himself a “social sculptor,” building social capitol and finding ways for artists not only to learn and succeed within Sauk’s four walls, but also to get themselves out into a community where artists can thrive.

“I’ve been so amazed since I’ve gotten here,” Bodish said. “Woodlawn Arts Academy, The Next Picture Show, musicians writing their own music.

It’s a great place for artists.”

Sauk’s art gallery has gotten a significant facelift, with walls redone and a new logo. Much of the track lighting actually is temporary, until it can get professionalgrade gear. But given the work on the wall, it’s professional through and through. Holbrook’s work grabs the eye, and there’s a cushy bench to sit on and soak it in, or just take a breather from class.

“It’s not a bad place to come in and get a reprieve from the outside world,” Bodish said.

He and Holbrook’s wife, Susanne Nestory, were studio partners many moons ago. Her exhibit will be next. Les Allen, a Dixon photographer, will follow, then William Butler, director of the Contemporary Arts Center in Peoria, will seize the wall.

Each will speak at their receptions, and students would be wise to be there with eyes open and pens ready to take notes.

“We’ll sell artist’s work, and that’s great for them, but they’re coming here not just to show their work,” Bodish said.

“We’re here to educate our students and model for them, so our students can communicate their ideas not just visually, but verbally and through their writings.

“Then, ultimately, come springtime and the student art show, they’re prepared to do the same thing.”

From the gallery, sculptures, prints and more spill through the adjoining halls, like a living thing reaching out.

Not bad for 3 months’ work. Bodish had 2 weeks after accepting the job to

Exhibits at Sauk Valley Community College Chris Holbrook’s collection, “Works on Paper,” is on display at Sauk Valley Community College’s second-floor art gallery on the east end of campus, 173 state Route 2. A special reception will run from 5 to 7 p.m. Dec. 2, the last day of the exhibit.

Holbrook, an adjunct faculty member at Bradley University, is a draftsman, printmaker, mixed-media artist and clay sculptor, and a diversely talented artist whose work involves

crossover influences.

The work of Holbrook’s wife, Susanne Nestory, who teaches drawing and foundations at Bradley University, will be on display from Dec. 5 to Jan. 24, with a special reception from 4 to 6 p.m. the last day.

Admission to the exhibits and receptions is free.

pack a U-Haul, set up shop and start teaching. He wrote a 5-year operational plan and is excited to organize materials, add a photo studio on the first floor and expand programming to digital photography, graphic design and new technology in 2016-17.

But the core curriculum read as such: Teach students art, not just for the brushstrokes, the keystrokes and the grooves of a sculpture. More importantly, teach art as a means of human connection.

“We’re not just talking about art,” Bodish said. “We’re talking about life and how we move through the world around us, and to try to gain a better understanding of us as human beings. I hope they walk out of here feeling more connected.”

“Art helps,” Poe said.

“It makes me feel better and get my ideas out, to explore the consciousness of humanity and myself, and what I want in life.”

SVM EDITORIAL BOARD ROUNDTABLE

Friday, November 4, 2016

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Jerry Holbert, Newspaper Enterprise Association

N

ote to readers: The Sauk Valley Media Editorial Board presents the SVM Editorial Board Roundtable. Several members of the Editorial Board offer their responses to a question of the week. Some questions will be of a serious nature, and some won’t be. Members might agree on an issue one week, but not the next week. Regardless, we certainly encourage public feedback.

Question of the week: Which result from a local or state election are you most interested in Tuesday? Why?

T

here has been a lot of money spent on very negative campaign ads in the 71st District state House race this summer and fall. More than $3 million has been poured into the campaigns. Why? Because the district is one of the few that are competitive in Illinois.

Republicans aren’t going to take control of the House – Democrats currently hold a 71-47 advantage. But the GOP can wipe out the Democrats’ supermajority. So the race between twoterm Democratic Rep. Mike Smiddy and Savanna Mayor Tony McCombie, a Republican, has statewide importance.

The House Republican Organization, largely funded by Gov. Bruce Rauner, has put in more than $1.4 million. Smiddy has received funding help from House Speaker Michael

’m still trying to make up my mind about the “Safe Roads Amendment,” which, if passed, would prevent state transportation funds that are supposed to be dedicated to roads, bridges and infrastructure from being diverted to other causes.

Those who favor the measure, including unions and road builders, cite the $6.8 billion siphoned away in the past decade as one of the reasons our roads and bridges are in desperate need of repair.

Those who oppose it, such as the Chicago Tribune, say “... a constitutional amendment would

T

he election results I’m most interested in locally are the $80.6 million Dixon school referendum and its companion 1 percent sales tax increase.

Regarding the school vote, we could be seeing something of a showdown between the older generation, whose members generally favor retaining and repairing the stately, castle-like Dixon High School building (built when President Hoover was in office), and the younger generation, many of whose members believe the time is now to build a new school for their children and future generations.

Referendum results could well indicate which generation wields more

Madigan.

With the state government a colossal mess, neither Rauner nor Jeff Rogers Madigan is very popular editor with Illinoisans. Will their ties to the local candidates hurt?

Speaking of ties, will voters view the fact that Smiddy has been in Springfield the past 4 years as a negative? Will they simply be ready to send someone new to represent the district?

Smiddy, in Rock Falls this week, said the race will be decided in the Sauk Valley. If that’s the case, Smiddy has been more visible in this area during the campaign than McCombie has. Will that make any difference?

I’ll be very, very interested to see what voters say Tuesday. take away the flexibility required if there’s an unexpected drop in revenue, Kathleen a serious Schultz emergency news or a crushing editor recession. It would be a mistake to protect roadbuilding at the expense of education, social services, health care and other needs.”

Lawmakers who think the road fund shouldn’t be raided should stop raiding it, the Trib argues.

I need a few more days to think on it. You? clout in the Petunia City.

Of course, the “keepour-taxesas-low-aspossible” Jim crowd will Dunn have a major editorial say in the page editor outcome, too.

Because the 1 percent sales tax proposal is a countywide issue, Dixon sales tax supporters and opponents won’t decide this on their own. It will be interesting to see whether the proposed sales tax, which would benefit school facilities across the county, has gained any traction since its earlier defeats in 2012 (59 percent voted no) and 2013 (73 percent voted no).

What do you think?

Let us know. Write a letter to the editor, bring it or fax it to our office, mail it to The Reader’s Voice, Sauk Valley Media, P.O. Box 498, Sterling, IL 61081, or send it via email to letters@saukvalley.com.

Cubs are champs! Holy cow!

‘Wait till next year’ has whole new meaning Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

The Impossible Dream isn’t just possible anymore – it’s here. Embrace it, savor it, scream it from the rooftops. The Cubs are World Series champs!

Holy cow, how Chicago has waited for this. On the brink of elimination after Game 4, the Cubs stormed back and wrested victory from the Cleveland Indians in Game 7.

Players dripping champagne find themselves also awash in glory not felt in Cubs Nation since 1908. How long ago was that? Henry Ford began selling Model T’s at $850 a pop, Taft beat Bryan to become president, women couldn’t vote, and men lived an average of 49 years.

This wondrous moment can be interpreted so many ways. Salve for a city that’s been beaten down by violent crime and public debt. The exorcism of demons conjured in the form of a black cat and a goat.

THIS SERIES HAD familiar stars shining brightly: Bryant, Rizzo, Lester, Baez, Arrieta, Chapman, to name a few.

But one player makes it particularly memorable. While his teammates were running

away with their division, Kyle Schwarber doggedly rehabbed all season following a devastating knee injury, spent a week taking hundreds of pitches of batting practice in Arizona, and then capped off his improbable, inspiring comeback with clutchhitting heroics.

There will be much said about the shelving of the phrase “Wait till next year.” Not so fast. Let’s hang on to it, but imbue it with different meaning: Wait till next year! And the year after that, and the year after that.

We hope this is only the Cubs’ coming-out party.

Other Chicago pro sports team have had championships recent enough to linger in our collective memory. The Cubs were the outlier, the team defined by diminished expectations. Year after year, we’d head to Wrigley Field never banking on a win, instead merely content with a sun-splashed day, a couple of red-hots and a seat in the world’s best place to watch baseball. The Friendly Confines were the draw – the Cubs were scenery.

That era is over, eclipsed by a dynasty in the making. Champion-

ships don’t have to be an anomaly in this city; the youthful Cubs can make them habit-forming. We’ve seen before how championships can be strung together, with roster touches that refine but don’t disrupt. The Bulls did just that with a Jordan-Pippen core and the right supporting cast. The Hawks still have their Kane-Toews-KeithCrawford nucleus.

For now, however, the only arrangements that need to be made have to do with tons of confetti and parade routing. Cubs Nation has 108 years of dormant jubilation to let loose!

This concerns the location of the Dixon High School.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

We don’t know what we have till it’s gone. Dixon High School is a town treasure. Its continued use as a high school contributes to our Downtown Historic District and our fabulous Riverfront walk.

The city of Dixon is often used as an example by the towns around us. One of those towns recently hired an expert to make up a “brand” that could draw people to its dying downtown. We already have a “brand.” It is our rich Dixon history.

Let’s keep that history alive by taking care of what we already have. Dixon High School has unique beauty and history and is an iconic place in our community. For those reasons, it needs to remain as the living, breathing heart of Dixon.

On Nov. 8, please vote NO new high school.

Emails make Clinton unfit KURT SCHWAB Sterling

So Democrats say the WikiLeaks emails are stolen emails. Stolen by Russia? Would this not reaffirm what the Republicans have been saying?

Hillary Clinton’s lack of trust with classified and nonclassified information makes her unfit for the presidency.

If she would have used a secure server, the Russian government would not have these emails and therefore would be unable to get involved with the elections.

“It was in fairly rough shape; it was a foreclosure. We thought it would be a cool project, but we also thought, ‘What would we do with something like that?’

“We were originally just thinking of buying a place to live out our retirement. My wife said that porch and the style of the house really lends itself to a bed and breakfast.”

After some haggling, the couple purchased the morethan-130-year-old house and began a renovation project that lasted 4 years.

Dan said he and his brother worked on the house 5 to 6 days a week.

“It was extensive, quite an investment in sweat equity. ...

Ninety percent of the work we did ourselves,” he said.

But that sweat equity paid off, and today, that “retirement plan” is Fisher House Bed and Breakfast.

The bed and breakfast has been open since October 2014 and features four different rooms on the second floor to choose from, each with its own bathroom. There is also a fully functioning guest kitchen.

Each room is named after people who at one time or another occupied the home.

Santa Claus uses your fireplace only one night a year to provide that old holiday cheer.

It’s likely you use it much more often to keep your home and family cozy.

Here are some safety tips from Napoleon Fireplaces: • Have your chimney cleaned before starting to use a wood-burning fireplace, stove, or insert.

The leading cause of fires from wood-burning appliances is creosote – unburned fuel – that has accumulated in the chimney.

• Have any gasket material in the fireplace unit inspected and replaced as required, such as the gasket sealing the door, the door glass, and, in some cases, the ash dump.

• Replace any broken or deteriorated brick lining in a wood-burning unit.

If the brick lining is deteriorated to the point that the steel body is exposed, heat from the fire can cause permanent damage.

• Have gas-burning fireplaces serviced, using a qualified technician.

Even the glass must be cleaned annually to keep it looking clear.

• Clean the blower if the unit is equipped with one. Blowers do not have filtering systems to prevent buildup of dust and hair. As dust accumulates on the blower blades, the balance of the blower will change, causing premature wearing of the bearings. Dust also insulates the motor, preventing it from being cooled, and can eventually cause the motor to seize up.

• Clear the airways.

Combustion systems are affected by dust, too, and even insects can impair their performance.

The airways of both the pilot and the main burners should be regularly cleaned to ensure that they are operating correctly, and a general inspection of the entire system, including the safety controls, is also beneficial.

• Replace the batteries in any optional remote transmitters and, in some cases, in the receiver, as well. Even when the fireplace is not being used, the power held in a battery is slowly depleted.

• Check and replace the batteries and test any smoke or carbon monoxide detectors you have in your home to ensure that those defense monitors are always operating properly.

Dan Fisher talks about the restoration process the Fisher House went through in order to be turned into a bed and breakfast.

We have a census form in 1885 of the Baldwins living in the house, so sometime in that 4-year period, the house was built,” Dan said. “Charles Baldwin was a hardware dealer.

After him and his wife, Martha, passed away, … the house was sold to Frank and Annabelle Ward. Their family owned the house up until the late ’90s or early 2000s” Each room has its own individual character. Although the house has been completely remodeled and updated, Dan made sure it maintained its historic charm – original fixtures, woodwork and stained glass windows remain throughout the house.

Dan and Peggy have also

added their own touches.

They serve their home-cooked meals family-style.

“We’re not gourmet chefs, but I think everyone enjoys the way we do the breakfast because they don’t have to cook while they’re here,” Dan said.

As far as future plans for the historic Fisher House Bed and Breakfast, Dan said he is working on renovating the attic to make it a permanent living space for him and Peggy so guests will have more rooms and free reign on the main floor of the house.

“When the guests come in right now, I think they feel they’re coming in and intruding in our space because we live [on the main floor]. Where if we’re upstairs, they’ll feel more like it’s part of the social area,” he said.

Dan also said they eventually plan on being open during the week instead of just Thursday through Sunday night.

“Once we’re not putting the money into remodeling and one of us can afford to quit work and be here during the week,” Dan said. “Business has exceeded our expectations the first 2 years.”

Parents fear daughter is in bad situation Dear Abby, Our daughter, a young Thai adult, is socially immature. Her mother and I are American citizens, and we recently brought her to the U.S. on a tourist visa to expose her to Western culture.

While she was there, a suitor – who is nearly 40, divorced, with two small kids –manipulated her.

After she returned to Thailand, she continued communicating with him on Facebook.

The guy flew to Thailand, secretly married her and left the country. He is now in the process of acquiring a spousal immigration visa, and we are desperately afraid of los-

appealing to the government requesting denial of the visa request. Your take?

– Concerned Dad in Thailand

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

ing our daughter. We’re not convinced that she’s in love with him. We think she’s just trying to escape her Tiger Mom, who insists on Thai culture, respect and adherence to family values.

We are considering

Dear Concerned Dad, What this man did is reprehensible. Because you don’t know him, one has to wonder if anything he told your daughter about himself is true – including his age, marital status and whether he is a parent.

Since you didn’t mention your daughter’s age or if she is old enough to consent to marriage, consulting a lawyer to help you navigate through government channels would be a good place to start.

You have my sympathy, and I wish you luck.

Dear Abby, I’ve been with “Derek” for 2 months. We’re both 14, and had an on-and-off friendship before it started.

Derek has a history of mental illness (including depression and anxiety).

Lately, he has started talking about things like college plans and even marriage. He flatters me nonstop and says repeatedly how “perfect” and “goddess-like” I am, completely degrading himself in the process. He says he is “weak, stupid and ugly” compared to me.

I’m afraid to dump him because Derek has

attempted suicide several times in the past and has hinted at doing it again if I do. I can’t say the words to him with that hanging over me.

His parents are unreachable, and he’s already on medication. Derek has refused counseling in the past. I’m really afraid, but I can’t stand staying in this relationship much longer. Thoughts?

– Afraid in Oregon Dear Affraid, If you haven’t spoken to your parents about Derek and his emotional blackmail, do it immediately.

You are not responsible for his welfare – his family is. Derek appears

to be in need of more professional help than he is receiving. Encourage him to think about positive things like college, but tell him you are too young for any kind of permanent exclusive relationship. Period.

Once your parents know what’s going on, I’m sure they will back you up 100 percent.

Dear Abby, What exactly should one be doing while being serenaded with the birthday song?

– Lauren, the Birthday Girl Dear Lauren, Smile!

MOVIE REVIEW | ‘DOCTOR STRANGE’

Marvel’s latest superhero story a trippy, but familiar tale

BY KATIE WALSH Tribune News Service

“Doctor Strange” makes a big promise to infuse the superhero story with a much-needed frisson of strangeness. But as a product of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s hamstrung by its own origins. Despite the inventive visual imagery, city blocks that fold like origami and air that shatters like glass, it’s the same formula as the rest of the movies, which feel more and more like predictable products – down to the post-credits teasers – than films. Thankfully, it is an enjoyable product.

It’s the origin story of a superhero who uses magic and spells as his weapons.

Benedict Cumberbatch tries on an American accent and a snarky sense of humor to play the arrogant Dr. Stephen Strange, an egotistical, swaggering neurosurgeon. He’s got

sports cars, fine watches and an ex in the ER (Rachel McAdams), but his most important thing is his flashy career and rock star reputation. When a car accident destroys his hands, he’s left in despair, searching for answers with his great big, logical brain.

He finds his new path in life at a temple in Nepal, where he’s welcomed by Mordo (Chiwetel Ejiofor), and a guru/sensei/sorceress called the Ancient One (Tilda Swinton) shuffles around his mind and spirit to experience dimensions outside of our rudimentary understanding. During Strange’s orientation, director Scott Derrickson goes all-out with the trippy visuals and imagery, as he hurtles through space and time and black holes in what is essentially a planetarium visit on acid.

He’s soon pressed into the service of his magical masters, who are tasked

Benedict Cumberbatch as Dr. Stephen Strange in a scene from the movie “Docter Strange” directed by Scott Derrickson. with protecting the world from mystical threats, as the Avengers protect it from the physical. At the moment, that involves containing a rogue pupil, Kaecilius (Mads Mikkelsen), who is toying with the Dark Dimension in order to access eternal life.

If the MCU is a bit like eating at a chain restaurant – you know what you’re going to get –

then watching “Doctor Strange” is a bit like ordering pad thai at Applebee’s: It’s different than the usual, but still kind of bland. It’s safe to say that most of the Asian flavor in “Doctor Strange” has been diluted. The Ancient One, a Nepali sorcerer in the comic books, has been race and gender-swapped, the character now a Celtic woman though she main-

2.5 out of 4 stars Cast: Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams, Mads Mikkelsen, Benedict Wong Director: Scott Derrickson Running time: 1 hour, 55 minutes Rated PG-13 for scifi violence and action throughout, and an intense crash sequence. tains an affinity for Asian warrior garb.

Androgynous Swinton is inspired casting, and gives a fine performance in the role. You might have never known you wanted to see Swinton, Cumberbatch and Mikkelsen perform magic karate, and it’s fairly delightful. However, borrowing heavily from Eastern aesthetics and spiritual teachings

but only featuring one Asian actor in a major role doesn’t sit right at all.

That the film scoots in at under 2 hours is a welcome surprise for the Marvel Universe films, which typically climax with a solid 20 minutes of thumping fisticuffs.

There’s still a bombastic showdown, but with Strange’s abilities to slip, slide, squish and stretch time, it takes on its own unique tenor.

The film is merely an introduction to this character and his powers, and in Cumberbatch’s hands, with a clever script by Derrickson, Jon Spaihts, and C. Robert Cargill, Dr. Strange is an appropriate addition to the pantheon of smart-mouthed Marvel superheroes. He’s wry, dry and high-minded, but never above a silly pun, pop-culture reference, or visual gag. He’ll fit in with the gang just fine.

ROCK FALLS HIGH SCHOOL

Why health care eats more October Student of the of your paycheck every year Month: Bailey Wetzell The Associated Press

Millions of Americans are finding out this month that the price of their health insurance is going up next year – as it did this year, last year, and most of the years before that.

And it’s not just that the price is going up, it’s that it goes up faster than wages and inflation, eating away at our ability to pay for other things we want (beer, televisions, vacations) or need (rent, heat, food).

Does it have to be this way? Why does health care grow so much faster than almost any other spending category so consistently?

And will it ever stop? “At some point it’s not going to be worth it to have less food, less travel in order to spend money on health care,� said Louise Sheiner, a health economist at the Brookings Institution. “That’s what really stops it.�

Insurance premiums, which reflect spending on medicines, doctor visits, tests and hospital stays, have climbed 213 percent since 1999 for family coverage purchased through an employer, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, which studies health care. Wages, by comparison, have risen 60 percent, while inflation is up 44 percent.

Here’s why the price of health care doesn’t grow like, say, the price of dishwashers or blue jeans – and why that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

It’s hard to shop for health care Insurers and employers have been trying for years to make patients better health care shoppers and force doctors and hospitals to compete on price.

They’ve raised deductibles or out-of-pocket costs on coverage and given tools to patients so they can compare prices and quality.

The idea is that patients become more motivated to price shop when they first have to pay several hundred dollars toward the bill due to a high deductible.

Many see this push as a key to curbing health care spending, since insurance tends to hide the full cost of care from the patient.

This can work ... for small stuff, said Renya Spak of the benefits consultant Mercer. Patients will shop if they need an MRI exam on their shoulder.

But Spak isn’t convinced it will do much for things like surgeries, when the insurer or employer will wind up covering much of the bill anyway and the best deal might involve travel away from family. “It’s not human nature to be rational thinkers about health care cost decisions,� she added.

Device and drugmakers have been producing a steady stream of new products for consumers, and insurers that pay the bills have a limited ability to keep prices for those devices and drugs down. “Every year, it’s kind of like Christmas, they deliver all this new stuff and of course they deliver it at high prices and insurance covers it,� said Mark Pauly, a health economist with the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School.

How it adds up People with coverage through their employers should expect premium hikes of 5 percent or 6 percent next year, depending on where the employee lives and what adjust-

When does this end?

Health care spending now accounts for more than 17 percent of the U.S. economy. In 1980 it was just half that.

Economists and benefits experts say this trend has to slow at some point, or consumers won’t have enough money left to spend on things unrelated to health care. Some think big, disruptive changes in how we buy and use care might be needed.

That might mean that more insurers could drastically restrict a patient’s doctor choice in order to gain better negotiating leverage over the cost of care, a trend that is growing on the ACA’s exchanges.

Mercer’s Spak thinks employers need to lead, since they cover so many people. She noted that some companies have started contracting directly with big hospital systems for health care, cutting out the insurance middleman.

ELECTION 2016 | PRESIDENTIAL RACE

This isn’t ‘Survivor,’ Obama says on trail later on Thursday with former primary opponent Sen. Bernie Sanders and pop star Pharrell Williams in Raleigh.

Trump’s path to victory remains narrow. He must win Florida to win the White House, no easy feat. Still, his campaign has been buoyed by tightening polls there and in other key battlegrounds, as well as by signs that African-American turnout for Clinton might be lagging.

Clinton enlisted Obama’s help urging those voters to the polls and lighting a fire under other Democrats, particularly young people,

Polls show Trump is closing in on Clinton in key battleground states JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Donald Trump warned Thursday that a cloud of investigation would follow Hillary Clinton into the White House, evoking the bitter impeachment battle of the 1990s in a closing campaign argument meant to bring wayward Republicans home. Clinton and her allies, led by President Barack Obama, told voters to get serious about the dangers of Trump.

As polls show Trump closing in on Clinton in key battleground states, her campaign is rushing to shore up support in some long-standing Democratic strongholds.

That includes the campaign’s Michigan firewall, a remarkable situation for a candidate who looked to be cruising to an easy win just a week ago.

Clinton’s shrunken lead has given Trump’s campaign a glimmer of hope, one he’s trying to broaden into a breakthrough before time runs out. That means zeroing in on questions of Clinton’s trustworthiness and a new FBI review of an aide’s emails.

The attack is aimed at appealing to moderate Republicans and independents who have been the holdouts of his campaign, turned off by his behavior but equally repelled by the possible return of the Clintons.

“Here we go again with the Clintons – you remember the impeachment and the problems.”

Trump said Thursday at a rally in Jacksonville.

“That’s not what we need in our country, folks. We need someone who is ready to go to work.”

Clinton and allies, meanwhile, are seeking to keep the spotlight on Trump, charging that his disparaging comments about women and minorities, and his temperament make him unfit for office.

“He has spent this entire campaign offering a dog whistle to his most hateful supporters,” Clinton said, singling out Trump’s endorsement from the official newspaper of the Ku Klux Klan and noting that he has retweeted messages from white supremacists.

“This has never hap-

pened to a nominee of a major party,” Clinton said.

“If Donald Trump were to win this election we would have a commander in chief who is completely out of his depth and whose ideas are incredibly dangerous,” she said at Pitt Community College outside of Greenville, North Carolina. Clinton campaigned

who share some of the wariness about Clinton.

Speaking to students at Florida International University in Miami, Obama told voters now was the time to get serious about the choice.

“This isn’t a joke. This isn’t ‘Survivor.’ This isn’t ‘The Bachelorette.’” he said, taunting the former reality-TV star. “This counts.”

Relishing one of his last turns on the campaign stage as president, Obama repeatedly returned to his new campaign catchphrase capturing his disbelief in the unpredictable race to replace him.

“C’mon, man,” he said, to cheers.

Obama has been trying to bait Republican into veering off message – counting on Trump not to have the discipline or the ground game to capitalize on a late surge.

But the famously unconventional Trump has been hewing closer to convention, running some upbeat ads, bringing out his wife for a rare campaign appearance and even talking publicly about trying not to get distracted.

“We don’t want to blow it on Nov. 8,” Trump said Thursday at the rally in Jacksonville, his fourth in Florida in 2 days.

art of the difficulty of authenticity, of being who we truly are, is that we are free to be whoever we want to be. There are of course limits to human freedom, but within those limits we are free to act honestly or dishonestly, to act with integrity or not, depending on the circumstances. Perhaps the reason why the sting of conscience can be so painful is that when we did the thing that we now regret, we know that we could have done otherwise. When we make a conscious decision to lie, or steal, or otherwise act contrary to the dictates of conscience, we are bound to regret it later. It’s also difficult to be who we truly are because we are all in the process of becoming who we shall be. The act of becoming is perhaps the essential project at the core of humanity. It is the life project that every human being must work out, on their own, with fear and trembling, but also with quiet reflection. Who are you, really, and who are you becoming? Answering these questions requires being honest with oneself, and involves reflecting not only on issues of character, but also on our relationships with others, and our careers, and even our likes and dislikes.

Be yourself, but perhaps more importantly, become the best version of yourself that is possible. – Christopher Simon

A Wells Fargo sign is displayed in May 2012 at a branch in New York. Wells Fargo has confirmed that the Securities and Exchange Commission has launched an investigation into its sales practices.

Wells Fargo came under fire after it became known that the bank’s employees, pushed to the limit by impossible sales goals, opened as many as 2 million bank and credit card accounts without customers’ authorization.

Wells Fargo discloses SEC investigation NEW YORK (AP) – Wells Fargo has confirmed that the Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating its sales practices, and revealed that it has almost doubled to $1.7 billion the amount set aside to deal with its legal problems.

The bank said in a regulatory filing Thursday that a myriad of local, state and federal government agencies are investigating Wells for its sales practices scandal. That’s on top of class-action lawsuits filed against the bank by investors, its former employees and customers.

Due to its mounting legal woes, Wells Fargo is also boosting the amount of money it has set aside for legal expenses from the $1 billion it had set aside as of June 30.

The San Franciscobased bank has been under fire since it was discovered that in order to meet extremely lofty sales goals, employees opened as many as 2 million bank and credit card accounts without customer authorization. The company had also fired more than

5,000 employees, the vast majority of them lowerlevel workers.

The biggest scandal in the bank’s 164-year history forced the abrupt retirement last month of its CEO, John Stumpf, after the board reclaimed $41 million in compensation. The company named as its new CEO Tim Sloan, who has made fixing the bank’s reputation his top priority.

Sloan held an “all-hands” meeting with employees last month where he apologized directly to the bank’s front-line workers.

Wells has also launched an advertising campaign to apologize to customers.

The bank is also fighting off angry politicians, both Republican and Democrat, who in a tense election year have make an example of Wells Fargo.

“I know there is a lot we need to get right and team members throughout the company are focused on doing the hard work that is necessary to restore trust in Wells Fargo,” Sloan said in prepared remarks at an investor conference in Boston on Thursday.

FREEPORT – If it isn’t broken, don’t fix it. Why deviate from what’s working well when it matters most?

That’s the situation that the Sterling volleyball team – namely Kaylee Martin and Josi Borum – thrived in throughout Thursday’s 3A Freeport Sectional final against Kaneland.

Seeing most of her opportunities from Borum, Martin thundered down 25 kills

in a 25-23, 25-19 win over the Knights for their second sectional championship in 3 years.

Sterling (32-5-1) has now accumulated four sectional championships, together with back-to-back titles in 1980 and 1981. However, this particular win made further history with Martin’s staggering number of slams. Six weeks ago, the Golden Warrior senior established the single-match record for kills (28) in a three-set home win over LaSalle-Peru.

WARRIORS continued on B64

LANARK – In front of a raucous home crowd, the Eastland Cougars controlled the first set and rallied to win the second, beating Galena 25-16, 25-23 to claim the sectional title and advance back to the supersectional.

Trailing by as much as 15-8 in the second set, Eastland fought back. The Cougars chipped away at the lead at first, but once momentum was on their side, they racked up point after point, with Makenzie Fink getting kills for nine of Eastland’s last 10 points.

“I said we just need to keep calm,” Fink said. “No lead is too big. We can always come back. Never get down on yourself.”

Fink’s 19th kill of the match ended it, a perfect pass from Gabby Snyder leading to a perfect set from Ashley Beyers leading to a back-row spike from Fink that Galena had no hope of returning.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW 2A PLAYOFFS | SECOND ROUND | NEWMAN AT ST. BEDE

Upping the ante for Comet-Bruin rematch Newman, St. Bede playing for bigger stakes

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5551 @BrianWeidman

Newman has already shown it can defeat St. Bede when the stakes are high.

This week, the ante is a bit higher.

The Comets and Bruins will tangle in a Class 2A second-round playoff game at 2 p.m. Saturday in Peru. The winner advances to the quarterfinals against either Chicago Hope or Deer Creek-Mackinaw, while the loser goes home.

In Week 9, Newman (100) and St. Bede (7-3) met at Roscoe Eades Stadium in Sterling, with an undis-

A blocked punt by Aaron Scroggins set up Newman’s first score, then Nate Olson returned an interception 53 yards to the house to make it 16-0, and the Comets never looked back.

“We were fortunate enough to make those things happen in the last game,” Newman coach

Mike Papoccia said. “We wish we could count on that again, but we certainly can’t. We’ve just got to go out and play our game, make adjustments to what they do, and try to get them to make more mistakes.”

“They made some huge mistakes, but I don’t know if we’re going to see many of those again this week,” Scroggins added.

The 5-foot-11, 185-pound Scroggins is the ringleader of a Newman defense that has allowed a mere 91 points this season. He has amassed 105 tackles, Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com including 17 tackles for Newman’s Clayton Yde (right) drags down St. Bede quarterback Bryant Eustice (7) loss and 10 sacks from his behind the line of scrimmage during their Week 9 game at Roscoe Eades defensive tackle position.

Feds fine Penn State a record $2.4M Federal officials looking into how Penn State handled complaints about Jerry Sandusky hit the school on Thursday with a record $2.4 million fine, saying it violated requirements about reporting campus crimes and warning people if their safety was threatened.

The fine was the result of a 5-year investigation that began shortly after Sandusky’s 2011 arrest raised questions about what administrators had known about the former assistant football coach, now serving decades in prison for child molestation.

2016 WORLD SERIES CHAMPION CHICAGO CUBS

On the calendar

Putting the 10th in focus

Local events

Rain delay, team meeting help Cubs hit reset button MARK GONZALES Chicago Tribune

6 p.m.

• Sauk Valley Classic, Black Hawk vs. Olive Harvey 8 p.m.

After waiting since 1908 for a World Series title, the Cubs credited Mother Nature for allowing them to hold a meeting prior to their breakthrough 10th inning.

The meeting occurred two innings after closer Aroldis Chapman surrendered a gametying two-run home run to Rajai Davis, and one inning after Javier Baez fouled a safety squeeze bunt with the go-ahead run at third in the ninth inning.

During the 17-minute rain delay, the players gathered in a weight room between the visitor’s dugout and the clubhouse, with right fielder Jason Heyward one of the more prominent speakers.

“That’s what the team is all about,” general manager Jed Hoyer said. “These guys wanted this so badly. It was such a vision of theirs to win. They got knocked down a few times and never wavered. That meeting was a perfect moment to encapsulate that season. Because they met, they pumped themselves up and won that inning.

“And I think that really is a testament to why they are here.

I think we’re the most talented team, and deepest team. We played really a good team. In order to win a World Series, especially on the road, you have to have a lot of character, and they did that.”

Ben Zobrist, who hit a double to put the Cubs ahead for good in the 10th, praised Heyward for stepping up. “[Heyward] said, ‘Let’s forget about everything up to this point. Let’s believe we can do this,’” Zobrist said. “And that’s

Chicago Cubs right fielder Jason Heyward did not contribute a lot on the field, hitting just .150 in the World Series, but he called a team meeting to refocus the Cubs during the rain delay in Game 7. all that needed to be said.”

Heyward said his teammates “had to be reminded how good we are. I love everyone in here, and everyone should look in the mirror and understand we can get it done.”

Zobrist said “there obviously was frustration, and Aroldis felt terrible. But everyone said ‘We got you. We’re going to pick you up.’ And I think there was even

applause and claps for him.

‘We’re going to come back and win this game.’”

Rookie catcher Willson Contreras called the meeting “amazing,” and got caught up in the moment when the Cubs scored twice in the top of the 10th to hold on for the win.

“I was crying in the dugout,” Contreras said. “I had a lot of emotions.”

COMMENTARY

This title has no peer in Chicago

T

hey tossed their hats and gloves into the air after the final out like joyous Little Leaguers, and then threw themselves into each other’s arms like brothers – and this will connect them forever.

They sang along with “Go, Cubs, Go” as thousands of fans who wouldn’t miss World Series Game 7 for the world broke into song.

They carried retiring catcher David Ross on their shoulders and wore wide-eyed expressions of disbelief to which every Cubs fan could relate.

The Cubs partied like it was 1908 after their 8-7 victory Wednesday over the Indians ended the longest, cruelest wait in sports.

“This about made me pass out,” World Series MVP Ben Zobrist said.

“An epic battle. I can’t believe that after 108 years, we’re able to hoist the trophy.”

For generations of fans, the scene of the Cubs celebrating a World Series title will provide the most indelible images of Chicago sports for years to come.

None of us will live long enough to see anything better, any moment packed with more meaning. This is the view from the top of the sports world, the center of baseball utopia, a place where doubt and dread and devastation no longer reside, a place the World Serieswinning Cubs and their loyal fans now occupy.

At exactly 11:47 p.m.

Cubs fans celebrate in front of Wrigley Field in the early hours of Thursday morning following the Cubs’ win in Game 7 of the World Series. first baseman Anthony Rizzo caught third baseman Kris Bryant’s throw for the last out, officially marking the greatest moment in Chicago sports history.

Holy cow, they did it, Harry. Hey, hey, Jack, the Cubs are World Series champions. Click your heels in heaven, Ronnie. The wait is over, Ernie, after all those seasons you believed when nobody else did.

The last great American sports story now has an ending, the happiest one ever, pleasing baseball romantics and fulfilling the lives of so many Cubs fans. Many of the longest-suffering ones will say they can die happy now, no exaggeration.

It seems impossible to write, yet harder to fathom. The Cubs have won the World Series. That is no longer a punch line or part of a movie pitch. The Cubs have won without pigs flying

or hell freezing over.

That might not sink in for Cubs fans until they stop smiling, maybe sometime next summer.

Or maybe never.

Naturally for the Cubs, nothing came easily.

They waited out a 17-minute rain delay before the 10th. And extra innings were necessary because of Joe Maddon’s unnecessary use of Aroldis Chapman 24 hours earlier with a five-run lead. Chapman came on in the eighth with the Cubs four outs from history, and his weary left arm gave up three runs – a double to Brandon Guyer and a two-run homer to Rajai Davis – to tie the score at 6-6. Every jaw back in Chicago hit the floor and every blood pressure rose. This felt like a cruel joke.

But the Cubs offense bailed out Maddon when Zobrist doubled and Miguel Montero singled to drive in runs

in the 10th. Any secondguessing will be moot by the time the champagne dries. They can laugh about it at every reunion.

But now it’s over, at last. Has any sports league ever crowned a champion whose fan base deserved a title more than the Cubs?

Has baseball ever played a more significant World Series game than this one?

The 2016 Cubs – Dex and Rizz, KB and Jake, Zo and Schwarbs – will become bigger legends than the 1985 Bears.

The Cubs winning the World Series transcends sports, making a deeper impact on the city’s culture than the 2005 World Series champion White Sox, the 1990s Bulls dynasty, and the current core of Blackhawks who have collected three Stanley Cups.

The Cubs close generation gaps, connect neighborhoods, and clear racial or ethnic barriers, all with a capital C. Their reach extends beyond baseball, across countries and continents, and into the hearts of millions worldwide who were overjoyed the lovable losers finally won it all.

Texas, Edwards has led 655 laps and has three victories. He also has seven top-five and 12 top-10 finishes. Edwards also won a pair of Xfinity races at Texas in 2010 and 2011.

Crew chief Dave Rogers believes Edwards can pull off another win at Texas, or win next week at Phoenix.

“It’s tough to name two better racetracks for us to be in [this] situation,” Rogers said. “Texas offers a lot of character with bumps and an abrasive surface, and Goodyear will be bringing a tire that wears out and falls off.

That combination always yields an exciting race for our fans, and plays into the strengths of Carl and this race team.”

Montoya will run Indy 500 Two-time winner to drive in biggest race for Penske

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Juan Pablo Montoya has accepted an offer to race the Indianapolis 500 for Team Penske, and will not drive full-time in IndyCar next season.

Montoya told The Associated Press on Tuesday the offer was the “best choice” for the Colombian. He’s a twotime Indy 500 winner, including the 2015 crown driving for Penske.

Penske last month hired Josef Newgarden to replace Montoya full-time in the series, insisting the decision was because the young American was available and the organization wanted him in their lineup. At the time, they revealed the Indy offer for Montoya.

Montoya told AP he will spend time next year helping his son, Sebastian, race in Europe, and doing television work for Canal F1 Latin America.

“I’m happy, to be honest,” he said.

Montoya lost the 2015 IndyCar title on a tiebreaker, and finished ninth this last season.

He spent 3 years driving for Penske after making the switch from NASCAR back to IndyCar, and

Crawford shuts out Avs Penalty kill comes through in Hawks’ 4th straight win

Atlanta defense stuffs Tampa Bay rushing attack

BY JAY COHEN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO – Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville is looking for a more complete effort from his team. Pretty much everyone except Corey Crawford.

Hard to argue with the way Crawford is playing right now.

The veteran goaltender made 38 saves in his second shutout in three games, helping the Blackhawks beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-0 on Thursday night for their fourth straight victory.

“Just trying to get better every game,” Crawford said. “Feeling good with reading the play. The conditioning’s there, too. Feeling sharp every game. I just go out there and battle.”

Marian Hossa had two goals, Jonathan Toews also scored, and the Blackhawks killed off three more penalties to run their streak to 12 after an awful start to the season. Artemi Panarin added his fifth of the season off a slick pass from Patrick Kane in the third.

Chicago won for the seventh time in nine games, but Quenneville pointed out a couple areas of concern, mostly having to do with puck possession and movement. Of course, he sounded pretty satisfied with the situation in goal.

Colorado dominated parts of the first and second periods, but Crawford was on top of his game again. He stopped Tyson Barrie about 5 minutes into the first, and denied Matt Duchene on a breakaway in the second. He also had a sharp glove save on Barrie at 9:34 of the third.

“He’s been outstanding,” Quenneville said.

Crawford caught a break when Nathan MacKinnon banged a shot off the left post about 4 minutes into the first, and Chicago defenseman Brent Seabrook helped out by breaking up a 2-on-1 in the second.

“The guys played well,” Crawford said. “PK [Kane] was solid again, moving pucks down. It makes it harder on the power play when you’ve got to skate back all the time. It’s just a big game for us.”

Falcons have no trouble with Bucs

BY FRED GOODALL AP Sports Writer

AP

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane (left) and Avalanche center Carl Soderberg battle for the puck during the first period Thursday. The Blackhawks extended their winning streak to four with a 4-0 victory.

Semyon Varlamov made 17 saves for Colorado, which has dropped four of five.

“I liked a lot of that game,” coach Jared Bednar said. “We made some mistakes, they capitalized on their chances.”

The Avalanche had a prime chance to jump in front with two power plays in the first, but the Blackhawks turned away each opportunity. Then Toews and Hossa scored in a 38-second span.

First, Toews poked in a loose puck at 14:25. Then Hossa got free for a breakaway and managed to flick a wrist shot over Varlamov’s glove before sliding into the corner. Hossa celebrated by getting up on his knees and flexing for the cheering crowd.

Hossa beat Varlamov on the glove side again early in the third, making the most of a great stretch pass by defenseman Duncan Keith, and Kane found a streaking Panarin in front at 12:40. It was Kane’s team-high 10th assist.

“Tough, obviously 4-0, it looks ugly, but it’s not nearly as ugly as it looks on paper,” Duchene said.

“Some nights it’s the other way around. You lose by a couple of goals and you’re terrible. There are some good things we want to build on and get ready to the next one.”

Hossa has four goals in his last four games.

Blackhawks center Artem Anisimov extended his point streak to nine in his 500th career game.

Blackhawks forward Ryan Hartman returned to the lineup after he was a healthy scratch for the previous two games. He took the spot of Vinnie Hinostroza, who was a healthy scratch.

The Blackhawks showed the last out of the Cubs’ win in Game 7 of the World Series on the videoboard in the first period, drawing a standing ovation from the crowd of 21,580. They also played part of “Go Cubs Go,” and the crowd sang along.

TAMPA, Fla. – Matt Ryan threw for 344 yards and four touchdowns, helping the Atlanta Falcons tighten their grip on first place in the NFC South with a 43-28 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Julio Jones had eight receptions for 111 yards and a TD as the Falcons (6-3) avenged a seasonopening loss to the Bucs (3-5). Tampa Bay has dropped two straight on the heels of a three-game winning streak that got them back to .500.

Jones, who’s closing in on another 1,000-yard receiving season with 970 through nine games, caught a 3-yard scoring pass in the third quarter, when Ryan led TD drives of 86 and 82 yards to break it open.

Levine Toilolo, Patrick DiMarco and Austin Hooper also caught TD passes from Ryan, who

leads the NFL with 2,980 yards and 23 touchdowns vs. four interceptions.

Jameis Winston threw for 261 yards and three touchdowns for Tampa Bay, including scoring passes of 3 and 24 yards to Evans, who had 11 receptions.

Both of Tampa Bay’s young stars finished the game on the sideline, with Evans being evaluated for a possible concussion and Winston limping off after being shaken up when he was tackled trying to score on a twopoint conversion play with just under 7 minutes remaining.

Winston was tackled around the ankle by Atlanta’s Brooks Reed, and also hit by cornerback Jalen Collins.

Mike Glennon finished up for the Bucs, taking his first regular season snaps since 2014. He threw a late TD pass to Cameron Brate to cut into a 23-point deficit.

AP

Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber (43) is stopped by the Falcons defense Thursday. As a team, Tampa Bay had 73 yards rushing in the game.

ABOVE: Newman’s Aaron Scroggins tackles Central’s Kolin Krumwiede during Saturday night’s game in Sterling. The Newman defense held Clifton Central to 45 rushing yards on 26 attempts.

BELOW: Newman coach Mike Papoccia talks to Jacob Heiderscheit Saturday.

Defense setting up offense for Newman ANTE

CONTINUED FROM B1

t The Comets have allowed one touchdown or fewer in six of 10 games, including backto-back shutouts of Morrison and Kewanee in Weeks 3 and 4. Clifton Central scored on the last play of the game to avoid a shutout in a 50-6 loss in the first round of the playoffs.

“We have to keep our momentum going – basically, don’t let them get ahead of us,” Scroggins said. “I know [St. Bede] didn’t play a good game, and they know it too.

They’re going to come out fired up. It’s their home-field advantage.

They’re going to be fired up and give us their biggest shot.”

The Newman D has also done an incredible job of setting up its offense. The Comets have picked off 25 passes, with Eli Leffelman (seven), Nate Olson (six) and Easton Bianchi (five) snagging the bulk of those. The Comets have also pounced on nine fumbles, while giving up the ball just seven times (six fumbles, one interception).

Newman’s offense has been an efficient Blue Machine through 10 weeks. The Comets are averaging 41 points per game, and have spread the wealth. Leffelman is the top ball carrier with 116 attempts for 870 yards and 11 scores, while Cade Gorzny has 77 carries for 580 yards and six TDs. Landen Vesley doesn’t throw the ball a lot

(22-for-55, 475 yards, 4 TDs, 1 INT), but he is also a threat to run with 57 carries for 420 yards and 11 TDs. His main job is to put the ball in the hands of the right people.

“I have a lot of great personnel to work with,” Vesley said. “When you have 13, 14 different backs that can run the ball in a game, that definitely helps when they’re tired or they need a break or there’s a little injury here or there. I just have faith in all of them that they’ll get the job done.”

The Bruins were riding a six-game winning streak heading into the Week 9 encounter against Newman, and have some scary skill-position players.

Leading the way is quarterback Bryant Eustice, son of head coach Jim Eustice. He has completed 77 of 153 passes for 1,336 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has thrown 16 interceptions.

The top target for Eustice is Braidy Shipp, who

has 39 receptions for 747 yards and nine scores.

Josh Sapp, with 27 catches for 378 yards and 3 TDs, is another outside threat.

Spearheading the running game is Adam Poundstone, who has 147 carries for 1,174 yards and 21 TDs, in nine games.

Papoccia calls the Eustice-Shipp-Poundstone combination a “threeheaded monster.”

“They’re just really tough offensively to try and stop,” Papoccia said.

In watching a game film of the first meeting between Newman and St. Bede, Papoccia saw plenty of things his team could improve on.

“We saw we made a lot of mistakes and got away with ‘em,” Papoccia said.

“We’re going to try and shore those things up. It was kind of an eye-opener for the kids. We played extremely hard, don’t get me wrong, but we made some mistakes that we can’t make this week.”

Knights have no answer for Martin at net

SCOREBOARD Football Playoff pairings

WARRIORS

CONTINUED FROM B1

t Having 25 in just two sets established a new standard of efficiency, and Borum’s 26 sets were just as efficient.

“She did a real good job. I’m so proud of her,” Martin said of Borum.

“Our warm-ups were a little shaky, but she came out and set the ball awesome, and everyone was in perfect position to score the ball. Everyone played their hardest.”

All but six of Sterling’s 31 total kills came from Martin, but despite the lopsidedness of it all, Sterling coach Dale Dykeman was impressed with the supporting cast up front as well. Gretchen Gould added three kills, Tobi Garcia added two, and Mya Pearson added one.

“They were awesome tonight,” Pearson said.

“At first, it was a little iffy and we struggled a little bit at times. Once we knew we needed to have our energy up, our passes just started to go. When we have passes, we have hits.”

“We had kids step up at the right times,” Dykeman said. “Gretchen Gould went for three, Tobi [Garcia] went for a couple, Mya had a great tip-kill. It was a lot of Kaylee, but when we needed it, other kids stepped up.”

Gould’s second kill came at the dawn of a Golden Warrior comeback in the first set. Down 22-17, Gould sent one down from the left corner to get to within four, and, after a Knights hitting error, Martin went to work on the comeback, as three straight kills tied the set at 22.

Jessica Weber’s left-corner spike gave the Knights (33-5) a short-lived onepoint lead, before Martin closed it out with a string of three more kills.

At that point, Dykeman found his power duo.

“He wanted to finish it,” Borum said. “At the end, Dykeman told me I’m only giving the ball to Kaylee. I did what he told me to do. I just kept setting Kaylee all night because I knew it would work.

“They weren’t stopping her.”

That’s something Kaneland coach Cyndi Violett was quick to concur with.

“We couldn’t stop her,” Violett said. “She’s a great player. She was hitting all of her spots, and hitting over our blocks. We were trying to take advantage of any time she was in the back row, and gain as many points as we can.”

Kaneland started the second set with a 10-5 lead, but a Garcia kill, and another kill from Martin from the back row (one of five such kills on the night) inched the gap to three. Alex Anderson’s kill gave the Knights an 11-9 lead before Gould blocked a snap set try from the Knights to get to within one.

The side out sent Katelyn Smoot to the service line, and she delivered an ace for a tie at 11 before back-to-back Martin kills put the Golden Warriors ahead – this time for good.

“We might have been down, but we did not give up at all,” Martin said.

“We fought and fought and fought to get back.

We’re not ready for our season to end. We’re having too much fun.”

Maintaining focus was key.

“I never was not confident that we were going to pull through,” she added. “I know how these girls can play, and I know they know what to do, and they know how to fight and not give up.”

Martin had just two hitting errors, and one more shot that was blocked.

Chloe Fillipski blocked a Martin slam for a 1-0 Knights lead in the first set, and Martin’s next shot met the net. From there on, the Knights

Bloomington Central Catholic will try that task against Martin and the rest of the Golden Warriors on Saturday at the 3A Mendota Supersectional. The Saints defeated Morton in two sets at the Metamora Sectional final also on Thursday.

“All of our hard work has really paid off so far,” Pearson said. “We’re just excited to go to supersectionals.”

“It was the biggest game of the season,” Borum said. “Biggest game of my life. We were just playing our hearts out. It’s great to have a sectional championship.”

Rotations work out right to benefit Eastland COUGAR

CONTINUED FROM B1

t Hitting errors plagued Eastland early in the second set, with four Cougars error in Galena’s first five points. Even when Eastland began to sort out those mistakes, Galena hitter Katie Furlong came through with back-to-back kills.

“We were trying to get in system a little more,” Galena coach Dennis Wills said. “In the first set, we were just totally haywire, didn’t have any options, gave up way too many free balls. When you’ve got Makenzie Fink and Ashley Beyers playing like that, you can’t give them free balls.”

Furlong finished with 11 kills, and her last put the Pirates ahead 16-9 in the second set – but Eastland kept her in check the rest of the way. On the other side of the net, Fink was just getting started.

“I think our rotations just happened to line up where I needed them to be,” Eastland coach Mallory Clements said. “I did the rotations in the sense of matchups. I wanted Fink in the front row with their big hitter in the back row. I think once we got our rotations around in the middle of that set, that boosted our momentum.”

A Mac Byer block cut the Galena lead to 17-12, and Beyers had back-to-back kills for the next two points.

Soon enough, Eastland was right back in it – and so were the Cougars’ fans.

“Getting a kill was electrifying,” Katie Krogman said. “It was the greatest feeling ever. I can only imagine for everyone else how it felt. It was just a great atmosphere.”

The first set saw the Cougars jump out to a quick lead and never look back. Fink had a kill to put Eastland ahead 11-4, then kills from Kristen Calvert and Morgan Wills got the Pirates within six. But Eastland went on another run, getting three kills

“We had a really good game plan going in, and I think we executed it perfectly,” Krogman said. “Everyone knew their place. I had a job, Fink had a job, and we killed it. We couldn’t have run it more perfect.”

Eastland will move on to the Christian Liberty Academy Supersectional to face Schaumburg Christian at 3 p.m. Saturday in Arlington Heights.

For the defending 1A state champions, it means being one win away from a return trip to Redbird Arena.

For the duo of Beyers and Fink, so key to the 2015 run, it means the 2016 run isn’t over yet.

“I’m just happy I get more games to play with her,” Beyers said.

“She’s just amazing. She’s the best hitter a setter could ask for.”

When dummy’s suit threatens

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

George Eliot, a 19th-century English novelist whose real name was Mary Ann Evans, wrote, “Life is measured by the rapidity of change, the succession of influences that modify the being.”

In bridge, if you have to change suits, do it rapidly. In today’s deal, South is in five hearts. West leads the spade king. South wins with his ace, draws trumps in two rounds (West discarding a low club), and returns a spade. After East completes a high-low with his doubleton, what should West do?

In the bidding, North’s jump to three hearts was pre-emptive. With game-invitational values (or more), he would have cue-bid three clubs.

East’s raise to four clubs was

brave (especially given that he had no singleton or void), but the vulnerability was in his favor. Then, when South bid game, West sacrificed in five clubs. Since South did not have a short suit, prob-

ably he should have doubled.

If South had obtained a diamond ruff (which would have been a tough assignment), the contract would have gone down three.

At trick five, West was not sure what to do. If East had the club ace, leading that suit would have likely resulted in down two. Here, though, it would have cost the contract.

Instead, West shifted to a diamond, which gave the defenders two spades and one diamond.

But if it turned out that South had the ace-queen of diamonds, when West got in with his spade queen, he would have tried a club. Assuming East had the ace, this defense would have cost only an undertrick.

If something else has occurred to you, tune in tomorrow. © 2016 UFS
