Tax, yes; school, no Voters reject district’s referundum for change at high school

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

DIXON – Lee County voters have passed a 1 percent sales tax increase. The big-ticket project it would have helped fund, on the other hand, went down in a decisive loss.

The referendum for an $80.6 million, 20-year bond to build a new Dixon High School failed in Tuesday’s general election, 5,289 votes (59 percent) to 3,665.

“Even though I’m very, very disappointed over the vote, I’m proud to say this won’t hold us back from fighting for our children and giving them the best chances to succeed,” school board President Pam Tourtillott said from a gathering in the office of Superintendent Margo Empen.

“I’m very proud of the board taking a risk. It was not an easy decision, and it’s taken a long time to come to this. No matter the outcome of the election, the board knew its charge was to go forward with the best interest of the chil-

The district now must issue $22.9 million in bonds to bring its buildings up to code by completing health/life safety requirements. The fixes must begin

immediately and be completed within 5 years. It will require a tax increase of $213 a year for a $100,000 home to pay for the mandatory repairs.

Trump on the verge Election Day ends with anxiety, exhilaration, and suspense WASHINGTON (AP) – Donald Trump moved within reach of the White House Tuesday night, capturing crucial victories over Hillary Clinton in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, a remarkable show of strength in an unexpectedly tight race for the presidency.

Trump also battled for a breakthrough in the upper Midwest, a region that reliably backed Democrats in presidential elections for three decades.

His victories left Clinton with a perilously narrow path and no margin for error in battleground states where votes were still being counted.

As the race lurched past midnight, neither candidate had cleared the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. Trump stood at 244 to Clinton’s 215.

Man electrocuted while working on utility pole Second worker was transported to Rockford hospital

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

STERLING – A telecommunications company worker was electrocuted while working on a utility pole Tuesday on 23rd and Locust streets.

Another worker, Jordan R.M. Zulauf, 23, of West Chicago, was injured and airlifted to OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, where he was in critical condition.

Sterling Police Chief Tim Morgan said no positive identification has been made on the worker who was killed.

The men were working for Zucru Communications, based in West Chicago.

Emergency workers were called to the scene, near the Circle K convenience store, just after noon.

Amy Glover, an assistant manager at Circle K, said she called 911 after a customer told her what had happened. “One of our regular lunch customers came running in here and said, ‘You have to come out here quick,’�

Glover said. “He said he thought the whole truck was going to blow up.�

ComEd is working with local authorities to

investigate the incident. “What we know now is that they were working on the utility lines, pulling fiber-optic cable, and the bucket on the truck came into contact with the power lines,�

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Dettman said.

The accident caused a power outage that covered an area from 29th Street north to 10th Street south, and Locust to Dillon Avenue east and west, a ComEd spokeswoman said.

She said 814 customers experienced the outage at 12:12 p.m., and Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com power was restored to 99 percent of them by Sterling Police Chief Tim Morgan speaks with Whiteside County Coroner Joe 1:38 p.m.

Illinois Attorney General sues Volkswagen Lawsuit filed over emissions cheating CHICAGO (AP) – Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has sued German automaker Volkswagen over the environmental impact of emissions cheating scandal revealed last year.

In the lawsuit filed Monday

in Cook County Circuit Court, Madigan accused Volkswagen and its Audi and Porsche units of tampering with emission controls in 2-liter and 3-liter VW and Audi diesel engine cars in violation of Illinois environmental laws. The lawsuit said there are more than 19,000 affected vehicles in Illinois.

Madigan was among 43 state attorneys general who earlier

this year reached a $275 million settlement with Volkswagen for selling and leasing diesel vehicles with illegal software that concealed the pollution levels.

In a statement, Volkwagen spokeswoman Jeannine Ginivan said the company is committed to reaching a “fair and efficient resolution� of remaining federal and state legal claims.

ELECTION 2016 | MOCK ELECTION

An exercise in Democracy The votes are in – and Dixon grade-schoolers cast them during a mock election

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

DIXON – Just like their adult counterparts, students at Jefferson Elementary School beamed Tuesday morning as they collected their “I voted” stickers after fulfilling their civic duty.

Third-grader Kathleen Keesey, 8, opted for a stylish star-spangled pencil to mark her ballot, and her smile shone brightest as she crossed the gym stage where the school’s mock election played out.

“I feel very independent,” Online extra she said. “I feel Read this story at like I can do anysaukvalley.com to thing, and that watch video of I have all the Jefferson Elemenfreedom in the tary School stuworld.” dents getting ready Kathleen’s to cast their votes been reading during a mock about slavery election. in the colonial United States, and it’s put things in perspective.

“I’m lucky to have all this freedom,” she said. “I loved this.”

The students have been studying politics for about a month leading up to the Election Day rite of passage. Just Monday, Kathleen’s teacher, Heidi Palmer, pulled some extra background on each presidential candidate. That’s how Kathleen found her guy – just in time to change her vote.

“I read about Gary Johnson, and he was like the dream president,” she said. “I liked all his ideas, so I decided I was going to vote for him instead.”

Third-grade teacher Phyllis Houck has been spearheading elections such as these since the 1990s, when she taught in Rockford. She brought the concept to Dixon in 2000 and hopes not only to get kids fired up about the privilege of voting, but also the rest of their families, too.

Tuesday night to find out who’s moving to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington, D.C., the 16 classrooms of second- and third-graders won’t find out who their choice for president is until this morning.

Second-grade teacher Kris Baker, who wore his best bright-blue, star-spangled suit and red-and-white-striped tie for the occasion, gave his students a last-minute primer Tuesday morning by showing them biographies of each candidate one last time.

“I impressed upon them the importance of understanding who they’re voting for – not just to vote for somebody their mom and dad or relative thinks they should vote for,” Baker said.

One of his students, Jaycelynn Hunt, 7, is a stickler for independent thought and appreciated the homemade privacy booths in which the kids voted.

“It’s important that people don’t look at each other’s votes,” the second-grader said. “Otherwise, people will just keep

Palmer said a number of her students were considering voting for a different candidate than the one their parents picked.

“We’ve talked a lot about making up your own mind,” Palmer said. “Your vote is yours, and it’s one of the privileges of being an American.”

U.S. SENATE

OBITUARIES

Senate majority at stake for GOP Democrats claim Illinois seat WASHINGTON (AP) – Democrats’ path to retaking the Senate majority narrowed Tuesday as Republicans held on to key seats in North Carolina, Indiana and Florida.

Democrats grabbed a Republican-held seat in Illinois, but as Republicans defended a slim 54-46 majority in an unpredictable election year, key races in Missouri, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Nevada remained too close to call.

In North Carolina, Democrats had high hopes of unseating entrenched GOP incumbent Sen. Richard Burr, who infuriated even his own party with his laidback campaign style. But in the end, he had little trouble holding off the challenge from Democrat Deborah Ross, a former state legislator and director of the North Carolina ACLU. In Illinois, GOP Sen. Mark Kirk had long been considered the most endangered Republican incumbent, as he faced a strong challenger in a state that favors Democrats in presidential election years. Democratic Rep. Tammy Duckworth, a double-amputee Iraq war veteran with a compelling personal story, ousted Kirk.

In Indiana, GOP Rep. Todd Young beat former Democratic senator and governor Evan Bayh, who mounted a much-ballyhooed comeback bid, but wilted under scrutiny.

And in Florida, GOP Sen. Marco Rubio beat Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy, giving Rubio a platform from which he could mount another bid for president in 2020. The outcome was not unexpected since Murphy had been abandoned by his own party in the final weeks of the campaign, but polls had tightened heading into Election Day. In Arizona, meanwhile, GOP Sen. John McCain, at age 80, won his sixth term in quite possibly his final campaign. The 2008 GOP presidential nominee was re-elected without much difficulty despite early predictions of a competitive race, and struck a reflective note ahead of the outcome.

“While as Yogi Berra said, ‘I hate to make predictions, especially about the future,’ I’m not sure how many more I have in me,” McCain said.

In New York, Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Democrats’ leaderin-waiting for a new Congress, easily won re-election. Results elsewhere would tell whether Schumer leads a Democratic majority in the Senate next year, or a minority when he replaces retiring

Nevada Sen. Harry Reid in the leader’s role.

“I hope the voters of America will bless us with a Democratic majority in the Senate,” Schumer told cheering supporters in Manhattan.

GOP incumbents around the country faced energized Democratic challengers trying to oust them in costly and caustic battles shadowed every step of the way by the polarizing presidential race between Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

The races were close in GOP-held Missouri, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania as voting progressed, as well as Nevada, the one Democratic-held seat that was hotly contested this election.

And in Wisconsin, where Democrats were counting on a pick-up, polls closed toward the end in favor of GOP Sen. Ron Johnson.

The GOP retook the majority just 2 years ago. And even though control of the Senate is likely to be razor-thin whichever party ends up on top, the advantages of being in the majority are significant. The controlling party holds the committee chairmanships, sets the legislative agenda and runs investigations. First up is likely to be a nominee to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court.

Republicans were on the defensive, trying to hold 24 seats to the Democrats’ 10.

Reid was retiring after five terms and trying to engineer a Democratic successor in Nevada.

Democrats were optimistic that a strong Latino vote, and Republican hopeful Rep. Joe Heck’s stumbles with Trump, would keep Nevada in their column.

Missouri, like North Carolina, was a GOPfriendly state that turned unexpectedly competitive as incumbent Republican Sen. Roy Blunt seemed caught unawares by the nation’s restless mood.

Throughout the campaign the Senate races provided moments of drama, not least as GOP candidates grappled with sharing a ticket with Trump. That tripped up Sen. Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire after she asserted at one point that Trump could “absolutely” be a role model for the nation’s youth.

Pennsylvania GOP Sen. Pat Toomey, too, kept voters in suspense until the 11th hour before disclosing late Tuesday that he voted for Trump.

WASHINGTON

Republicans on track to maintain House control WASHINGTON (AP) – Republicans were on track to secure 2 more years of House control Tuesday, as GOP lawmakers triumphed in districts in Florida and Virginia that Democrats had hoped Donald Trump’s divisive comments would make their own.

Democrats defeated two Florida GOP incumbents, but their prospects for putting a big dent in House Republicans’ historic majority seemed in question in early results.

Republicans grabbed one Democratic-held district north of Miami, kept another in Indiana that Democrats hoped would signal a political wave in their direction, and were leading in crucial races in Illinois and Michigan.

With the GOP presiden-

tial candidate rousing opposition in many suburban and ethnically diverse districts, Democrats were hoping to gain Republicanheld seats in New Jersey, Nevada and California. But they seemed all but certain to fall short of the 30-seat addition they needed to take command of the House for the first time in 6 years. Democrats have gained that many seats in just five of the 35 elections since World War II. In Florida, freshman GOP Rep. Carlos Curbelo won a race that showed Trump’s damage to Republicans would be more limited than Democrats hoped.

With around 7 in 10 of the Miami-area district’s voters Hispanic, the race became one of the country’s most expensive with a price tag exceeding $18

million, but Curbelo held on.

Virginia freshman Rep. Barbara Comstock did the same, keeping her seat in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., despite Democrats’ relentless attempts to tie her to Trump. The two sides spent more than $20 million on that contest in a district of highly educated, affluent voters that both sides had viewed as vulnerable to a Democratic takeover.

“This could be a really good night for America,” House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., who won a 10th term, told supporters in his hometown of Janesville, Wisconsin.

While Trump hurt Republicans in some areas,

his appeal to working-class white voters and their antipathy to Hillary Clinton, Trump’s Democratic rival for president, was helping GOP candidates in others. That could help Republicans limit an erosion of their majority in the chamber that could leave hard-line conservatives with added clout to vex party leaders.

The GOP’s current 247-188 majority, which includes three vacancies, is a high-water mark for House Republicans since the 270 members they had in 1931. Only several dozen of the chamber’s seats were considered competitive, though most of those considered at risk were held by Republicans.

ELECTION 2016| ILLINOIS

Voters make Duckworth a senator-elect They also lock up funds for transportation CHICAGO (AP) – Democratic women took the top of Illinois’ ticket on Tuesday, with Hillary Clinton beating Donald Trump and U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth unseating Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk in a year when Democrats are hoping that those victories will give them momentum in pricey state races.

Over 1.7 million residents voted early, surpassing previous presidential contests, state election officials said. Just more than 8 million people are registered to vote in Illinois.

Here’s a guide to Tuesday’s action:

Dems take key Senate seat Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth defeated Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk in a contest both parties watched closely because it will help determine who runs the Senate.

Many thought the race would be tight, but the two-term congresswoman pulled away in the final weeks of the campaign.

Kirk, a first-term senator, was seen as one of the more vulnerable Republicans running for re-election, even though he was considered a moderate who could appeal to voters in both parties.

He was among the first Republicans to denounce Trump’s candidacy and he supported stricter gun laws.

However, several gaffes may have cost him, including the one during last month’s televised debate in which Duckworth talked about how her family has “served this nation in uniform going back to the Revolution,” and Kirk responded that he had forgotten that the congresswoman’s “parents came all the way from Thailand to serve George Washington.” He apologized the next day.

Transportation funds Illinois voters have approved a constitutional amendment aimed at making sure transportation-related funds aren’t used for other purposes.

The measure was the only lawmaker-generated ballot measure this year and had bipartisan support.

The so-called “lockbox amendment” will keep funds generated through tolls, taxes and other related transportation sources from being spent elsewhere.

Supporters of the measure included unions and the construction industry, who argue it’ll boost safety by protecting infrastructure. A coalition backing the amendment says that since 2003 nearly $7 billion in transportationrelated funds have been used for other things.

Some opponents, including social service groups, questioned why funds for transportation should be protected over other things.

Jockeying for Statehouse seats Republicans won a crucial race in their bid to reduce the Democrats’ supermajority in the House, re-electing the only GOP legislator in Chicago.

Republicans spent more than $3 million in television ads in support of Rep. Michael McAuliffe – the most money spent on any statehouse candidate in the country, according to figures from the Center for Public Integrity. McAuliffe easily defeated Democratic challenger Merry Marwig.

The Democrats supermajorities haven’t been enough to overrule the governor during an epic 16-month budget standoff that’s led to funding cuts for social services and higher education.

If Democrats can increase their numbers, they can impose their will on Rauner, leaving him no chance of achieving his proposals to lessen the influence of unions while making the state friendlier to businesses.

Republicans want to decrease Democrats’ numbers to give Rauner more bargaining power and make it difficult for his vetoes to be overturned.

Rauner has contributed more than $30 million to GOP campaign committees to accomplish his goals, and Democrats have been forced to keep up, resulting in nearly a dozen legislative contests where the candidates have combined to surpass the $2 million mark in spending money.

There were several key races where votes were still being counted Tuesday night, including Democratic Rep. Kate Cloonen against Republican Lindsay Parkhurst in the northcentral Illinois city of Kankakee, and Democratic Rep. John Bradley versus Republican Dave Severin in southern Illinois.

Comptroller contest Democrat Susana Mendoza has won the Illinois comptroller’s special election over Republican incumbent Leslie Munger.

Mendoza, a former state legislator, is Chicago’s city clerk. She’ll finish the remainder of the comptroller term, which expires in 2019.

Munger was appointed to the office, which pays the state’s bills, by Gov. Bruce Rauner last year after Judy Baar Topinka’s 2014 death.

The big-money special election coincided with the presidential contest, thrusting the usually low-profile race into the spotlight.

Munger dominated in fundraising, due to a combined $5 million from two businessmen with ties to Rauner and $2 million from the governor and his campaign fund. About $3 million was transferred to the Illinois GOP for legislative races.

The other candidates were Libertarian Claire Ball of Addison and Green Party candidate Tim Curtin of Hillside.Rauner appointed Munger last year after the death of Judy Baar Topinka, just days after Topinka won re-election in 2014. The winner of Tuesday’s contest will finish the remainder of the 4-year term.

New president will likely have Republican Congress WHITE HOUSE

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

The uncertainty sent Dow Jones futures and Asian markets tumbling, reflecting investor alarm over what a Trump presidency might mean for the economy and global trade.

As Clinton’s team anxiously waited for results to roll in, the candidate tweeted to supporters, “Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything.”

Clinton, a fixture in American politics for decades, was hoping to become the first woman to serve as commander in chief. Her race against Trump, a celebrity businessman with no political experience, was among the nastiest in recent memory, exposing and deepening the nation’s economic and racial divides.

Exit polls underscored the deep divisions that have defined the 2016 contest. Women nationwide supported Clinton by a doubledigit margin, while men were significantly more likely to back Trump. More than half of white voters backed the Republican, while nearly 9 in 10 blacks and two-thirds of Hispanics voted for the Democrat.

If Trump pulls off the stunning upset, he could well find himself governing with a Congress fully under Republican control.

Democrats’ path to retaking the Senate

majority narrowed as the GOP held onto key seats in North Carolina, Indiana and Florida. Republicans also extended their grip on the House.

Democrats, as well as some Republicans, expected Trump’s unconventional candidacy would damage down-ballot races and even flip some reliably red states in the presidential race. But Trump held on to Republican territory, including in Georgia and Utah, where Clinton’s campaign confidently invested resources.

Clinton carried Virginia, Nevada and Colorado.

Her fate hinged in part on wins in Michigan and Wisconsin, states where her campaign spent little time during the general election in anticipation of comfortable victories.

The 45th president will inherit an anxious nation, deeply divided by economic and educational opportunities, race and culture. The economy has rebounded from the depths of recession, though many Americans have yet to benefit. New terror threats from home and abroad have raised

security fears.

“I see so many hopes and so many dreams out there that didn’t happen, that could have happened, with leadership, with proper leadership,” Trump said by telephone on Fox News before casting his own ballot in Manhattan. “And people are hurt so badly.”

Even before Tuesday, almost 45 million people had cast ballots for president. Many expressed relief the end was in sight after an election season in which personal attacks often drowned out the issues.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Joe Heller, Heller Syndication

Jekyll-Hyde conduct sours governance What we think Robert Louis Stevenson might recognize the Jekyll-and-Hyde behavior of modern American politicians. The evil unleashed by negative campaigns too often interferes with governance.

W

hat does “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,” published in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson, have to do with American postelection politics 130 years later?

More than you might think.

In his novella, Stevenson created fictional characters that represent the fight between good and evil within the human heart.

Dr. Henry Jekyll, a basically good man, makes the mistake of mixing and drinking a potion that unleashes his inner demons, transforming him into Mr. Edward Hyde, a ruthless evildoer.

Over time, Jekyll loses control of his wicked alter-ego. In the end, he loses his life.

In American politics, we see basically good people who, after tasting the potion of power, find themselves stooping to contemptible lows to retain it.

Their campaign charges, countercharges, and general tactics focus on attacks, attacks, and more attacks on the characters and records of their opponents.

We’ve seen one major presidential candidate repeatedly call the other “crooked.”

We’ve seen the second major presidential candidate describe her opponents’ supporters as “deplorables.”

Names have been called, characters have

been besmirched, and doubts have been raised about the abilities of each to serve.

And that’s just the race for the White House.

On down the ballot in Illinois, negative campaigning has been seen and heard.

The worst example: a lewd, faked nude photo of a female state representative was mailed to people across her Central Illinois district.

THE PROBLEM with negative campaigns is that their poison doesn’t disappear after Election Day – not for the candidates, and not for their supporters.

Although the campaign has ended and voters have chosen their leaders, Mr. Hyde can’t be banished as easily as Dr. Jekyll might like.

After being sworn in, elected officials are supposed to serve the public through the collaborative process of representative government.

The evil unleashed by negative campaigns often interferes with good governance. We refer to gridlocked government in Washington and Springfield as evidence.

As Lord Acton observed, “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

Let the Dr. Jekylls and Mr. Hydes of the political world take note: Be very wary of the potion of power.

Supreme Court justices need dose of reality CHARLES BECKER Dixon

The following are simplified guidelines to shorten the process of search and study for the Supreme Court justices when they need a dose of reality.

Common sense is not so common. The Supreme Court members should use common sense very smartly. Even for legalization.

The Supreme Court should petition the Holy Spirit or the Holy Trinity for divine intervention when studying any decision.

good of the people in all actions and decisions.

Term limits are vital to the freshness of the minds and current lifestyles of the citizenry.

I am sure that the Supreme Court justices are familiar with the Ten Commandments. The Supreme Court intended to introduce a decision, Jan. 22, 1973, disregarding the divine laws of God our father. The big ten on stone tablets.

Example: One through three about our Lord.

How to love him, respect him, etc. Four through 10 have to do with respecting your own family, your neighbors, your neighbors’ property and goods.

Respect life for it is sacred because God our father created life. Life, from conception to death.

College puts out a call for more adjunct faculty Experts in their fields can help SVCC fulfill its teaching mission JON MANDRELL Polo

Sauk Valley Community College’s mission states, “Sauk Valley Community College is dedicated to teaching and scholarship while engaging the community in lifelong learning, public service and economic development.”

SVCC strives to fulfill this mission in many ways. One essential way is by inviting citizens from all walks of life to become adjunct instructors and share their expertise with Sauk students.

Many of these adjunct faculty members are local workforce professionals, K-12 educators, and citizens passionate about sharing knowledge and changing lives.

One commonality heard among these highly valued instructors is their pure love for teaching and the many

rewards they’ve experienced. Many are even alums and speak of the great learning experiences they once had on our campus and how they wish to pay it forward to a new generation of Jon students.

Mandrell These individuals provide instruction in many areas, including the many general education subjects, but also in the career areas such as accounting, computer information systems, criminal justice, early childhood education, multicraft technology, nursing, radiologic technology, and the many other essential programs that fill the local workforce pipeline.

Like many evolving colleges and universities, Sauk offers students a variety of ways to attend classes: face-to-face, day and evening, online, and hybrid courses that provide a blend of face-toface and online instruction.

17TH DISTRICT

New face on the county board Bustos wins big Three Democratic incumbents, one GOP challenger win Whiteside seats over newcomer

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

MORRISON – With all 18 precincts reporting, voters in Whiteside County District 2 returned three incumbent Democrats to their posts Tuesday and elected a Republican making her second run for the board to fill a fourth spot.

One Democrat incumbent and a Republican challenger were sent packing.

John Espinoza, 73, Eugene “Gene” Jacoby, 67, and Karen M. Nelson, 76, all of Rock Falls, will keep their places at the table. Former Sterling Alderwoman Linda S. Pennell, 67, also of Rock Falls, also won a spot in the traditionally Democratic stronghold. ​F idencio Campos Jr., 63, was appointed to the board in March 2015; this was his first run for the office. John Petry, 56, of Morrison, also was a first-time candidate.

In unofficial results, Nelson won 4,254 votes, or 19.52 percent of the 21,788 votes cast; Jacoby won 4,237 votes, or 19.45 percent; Pennell took 3,613, or 16.58 percent; and Espinoza won 3,559, or 16.33 percent.

Petry’s tally was 3,185 votes, or 14.62 percent, while Campos garnered 2,940, or 13.49 percent.

Espinoza has been on the board since 2006, Jacoby since 1998, and Nelson since 2006. Pennell was an alderwoman-at-large in Sterling

for 4 years, from 2009 to 2013, when she resigned to live with her new husband in Rock Falls. Her first run for the county board was in November 2014.

District 2 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 to determine who gets which terms.

Two Republicans win Lee County seats

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

DIXON – An incumbent Democrat and two Republican newcomers grabbed board seats Tuesday in Lee County’s only contested district.

Republican Clay Partington, 38, of Dixon, received the most votes of the five candidates competing for three District 1 spots on the County Board.

He took 2,430 votes, or 26.34 percent, according to unofficial election results.

“I look forward to helping out the county in any way I can, wherever needed,” he said.

Partington has been a carpenter for 20 years and works for Freeportbased Winters Construction Inc. He was a part of the Lee County Sheriff’s Department for more than 7 years as a corporal, field training officer and patrol deputy.

Republican Mike Koppien, a 69-year-old

Amboy native, followed behind Partington with 2 , 2 9 6 Mike votes, or Koppien about 25 percent.

Koppien said he felt a mix of surprise and excitement after hearing the final vote tally among fellow Lee County Republicans at the Comfort Inn in Dixon.

“I’m honored to have been elected,” he said.

“It took about 2 minutes for my feet to come back to the floor.”

He has about 25 years of experience as a sergeant at the sheriff’s department and as a firefighter with the Amboy Fire Department, where he’s assistant chief and has served about 40 years.

Democrat incumbent Bob Olson held on to his board seat with 1,838 votes, or 20 percent.

“I’m ready to go back to work for my constituents,” Olson said. “I’m

glad everyone got out and voted, and I look forward to moving forward.”

The 52-year-old Harmon farmer was appointed to the board more than 2 years ago to fill the vacancy left by Wes Morrissey. Olson is a member of the board’s Finance Committee.

Amboy Democrats Luke Christoffersen and Adam Wetsel trailed with 1,452 and 1,183 votes, or 15.8 and 12.87 percent, respectively.

One of the district’s open seats has been held

by Board Chairman Rick Ketchum for 16 years.

He has spent the past 4 as chairman, and will be stepping down at the completion of his term in December.

Voting results

17th Congressional District Cheri Bustos (D) – 170,674 (60.1%) Patrick Harlan (R) – 113,097 (39.9%) *99% of precincts reporting

East Moline Democrat Cheri Bustos coasted to victory over newcomer Patrick Harlan, earning a third term as U.S. representative in Illinois’ 17th District.

Bustos was unopposed in the Democratic primary, and Harlan, the Knox County Tea Party Cheri president, Bustos emerged the winner in his primary race against Jack Boccarossa, a Rock Island Arsenal retiree.

Harlan faced an uphill climb against the incumbent, receiving only about $14,000 in contributions, and little support from the Republican Party.

With 90 percent of precincts reporting at press time, Bustos was winning by 21 points, her largest margin of victory in her three 17th Congressional District races.

Bustos celebrated by speaking at the Rock Island Democratic Party’s election night party. She thanked the voters and pledged to keep working to give families in her district a better quality of life.

“I want to thank all of the voters from across the 17th Congressional District for their trust as we work to grow our economy, expand opportunity, and build a better future

for all of our families,” Bustos said. “I am honored to continue my work getting real results for the hard-working families I serve.”

During her speech, Bustos also reiterated her underdog theme that was a key part of her television advertising campaign.

“We might get knocked down, but we’ll never stay down. We’ve come too far, and we’ve worked too hard. Let’s never give up, and let’s never give in, because Illinois is always worth fighting for,” Bustos said.

Harlan said he was happy with the results, given the circumstances in which he made his run.

“When you compare the numbers with the amount of money spent by both sides, and the name recognition she had, we did surprisingly well,” Harlan said.

The Galesburg truck driver said he is open to the possibility of making another run in the 17th District.

“If I find the support is there, I might go at it again,” Harlan said. “It won’t be a presidential election year, so I think it will be easier, but it all comes down to money.”

OGLE COUNTY

ILLINOIS HOUSE: 71ST DISTRICT

McCombie ends Smiddy’s run in Springfield

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

Savanna Mayor Tony McCombie ousted Democratic incumbent Mike Smiddy from his state House seat in the 71st District.

The district, which includes Whiteside, Carroll, Rock Island and Henry counties, was one of several Illinois House races targeted by both parties as key battlegrounds for control of that chamber.

The Republicans came into the election needing to pick up only one additional House seat to break the Democrats’ supermajority.

More than $3 million was poured into the race. Much of McCom-

bie’s money came from the Republican Party, while Smiddy was financed largely by organized labor.

McCombie received about 66 percent of the vote in her home county of Carroll, and 63 percent in Whiteside County.

While her lopsided win in Carroll County was expected, her margin of victory in Whiteside was surprising. A week ago, during a campaign visit to Rock Falls by Sen. Dick Durbin on Smid-

17th Congressional District Tony McCombie (R) – 30,586 (62.9%) Mike Smiddy (D) – 18,053 (37.1%) dy’s behalf, the two-term state representative had predicted that voters in Rock Falls and Sterling would decide the race.

McCombie attributed her success in Whiteside County to hard work.

She said she found a very receptive audience in the Sauk Valley.

“We worked our tails off in Whiteside County, but it was easier than we expected,” McCombie said. “They wanted someone to knock on their doors and really listen to them, and that’s

exactly what we did.”

McCombie, who also works in real estate, said voters were also hungry for a candidate who didn’t sugarcoat the situation in Springfield.

“People appreciated that I wasn’t afraid to talk about the good and the bad,” McCombie said.

The incoming legislator said she plans to work both sides of the aisle as soon as she is sworn in.

“I want to talk to both sides and find out why we have this gridlock,” McCombie said. “Communication will be the key, and that has been one of my biggest strengths in everything I’ve done.”

Smiddy didn’t respond to requests for comment before press time.

Shooting disrupts California voters LOS ANGELES – An elderly man was killed and two others were wounded Tuesday when an assailant armed with a military-style rifle opened fire in a residential area of Azusa, forcing authorities to secure the neighborhood and shut down nearby polling places – sending voters scrambling to find alternate locations.

After a standoff that lasted several hours, police announced that

the gunman was found dead inside a home across from Memorial Park Recreation Center, which served as a polling place. Officials said they didn’t know whether the man – who was described as heavily armed – was killed by police during a short but furious gun battle or from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

“We’re in the process of figuring out why this happened,” Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Lt. John Corina said.

Tuesday afternoon,

Azusa police said it was too early to determine a motive. At least one victim had been on his way to vote, a law enforcement source told

the Los Angeles Times.

Sheriff’s Capt. Steven Katz said that the violence was not related to the election.

Game over for abusive, immature boyfriend Dear Abby, I have been dating “Ian” for 7 months. We met at work, and my friends convinced me to go out with him. I thought he was a nice guy, just shy.

Now that we’ve been dating, I realize that’s not the case.

Ian plays video games a lot. They consume his life. He gets so aggravated that he slams buttons and curses incessantly.

My nerves can’t handle hearing it. I have anxiety issues, and when he does it, I nearly have a panic attack. When I tell him it’s just a game, he won’t listen.

He is also critical of me. It’s mostly about my

weight, but he also tells me I’m horrible and stupid. He complains about the way I play video games, my cooking, etc.

Sometimes he loses his temper and snaps at me.

He has slapped me a few times.

He’s never intimate with me, but I know he’s straight because he watches porn when he thinks I’m asleep. We pretty much lead separate lives, but he talks about us getting our own place.

We no longer work at the same company. I have a part-time job and go to school full time, but he won’t even look for a job.

Part of me wants to end it. But this is my first real relationship, and I’m not sure if I can do any better. Help!

– Conflicted in Virginia

it would be practically impossible for you to have a worse relationship than this one. Ian is immature, emotionally and physically abusive and unemployed. Men who care about women don’t treat them the way he treats you.

Ian should not move anywhere with you. If he does, you will have a heck of a time getting this freeloader out. Not only that, you won’t be able to find anyone else because it will appear that you’re already “involved.”

Dear Conflicted, End it now! You are looking at this the wrong way. From where I sit,

Dear Abby, I hear people all around me talk about their grandkids and the great

times they have. I have grandkids, too, but I don’t know how to be a grandmother. My mother didn’t have the skill, and I don’t know what to do.

I’m in my early 50s, and I’m trying to do things now that I didn’t get to do when I was young. I raised my kids. Am I supposed to spend all my time with them? I’m not sure I even want to. Does that make me selfish?

possible so you can get to know each other.

Because you’re not sure how to do that, ask their parents and some of your friends for suggestions on how to entertain them.

It could be as simple as taking them to a movie, attending some of their school or sporting events, baking cookies together or taking them to a park during an afternoon.

Dear Lost Grandma, You don’t have to spend “all” your time with your grandchildren. You should, however, see them every few weeks if

Drake is a lovable almost 4 years old adult. He has a short shiny black coat, plus being a “polydactyl” cat makes him rather unique! That means Drake has extra toes on each paw. Drake has been neutered and is declawed on all 4 paws. He has current vaccinations. He has a loving disposition and loves petting and lots of attention! He is also playful and inquisitive. Drake can be playful, but he can also be snuggly. He would prefer a home without any other cats. How he would react to a dog is not known.

Drake is hopeful that he will be adopted soon. Can you make his wish come true?

Sauk Valley Media • A9 Herb-crusted pork loin is a juicy alternative for Thanksgiving.

Take a hike, turkey! It’s crusted pork’s time to shine

one the Ina Garten way by rubbing a generous mixture of dry mustard and fresh rosemary, sage and thyme all over and under the skin of a turkey breast. Then roast the meat in a shallow pool of white wine (or water) for about 2 hours until the skin is golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees.

BY DANA CIZMAS Tribune News Service

f you want to tweak your predictable Thanksgiving dinner and turn it into something memorable that your guests will talk about until next year, substitute the typical turkey centerpiece with an elegant pork alternative.

Take for instance herb-crusted pork loin – it’s no muss, no fuss and simply mouthwatering. I got the inspiration for the pork loin dish from Ina Garten’s Herb-Roasted Turkey Breast recipe in “Barefoot Contessa, How Easy Is That” (Clarkson Potter/Publishers, 2010), where she rubs a rosemary-sage-thyme-dry mustard mixture over and under the skin of a turkey breast and roasts the meat for about 2 hours in the oven.

The herb mixture sounded so inviting that I thought I could use it as a crust on a pork loin before roasting it. I also found that the pork takes only an hour and 15 minutes to cook and would satisfy a small Thanksgiving crowd just as nicely.

In case you have any doubts why you should replace the bird and make the other white meat the star, here are some pork pros to consider: • Pork doesn’t require endless hours to defrost if bought frozen.

Herb-Crusted Pork Loin

Herb-crusted pork loin can be cooked in a wine bath.

• Covered with a thin but consistent sheet of fat, a pork loin turns out juicy and tender after roasting.

• Pork gives you the opportunity to be bold, creative and bring something unique, elegant and packed with flavor to your Thanksgiving feast.

• It is a cinch to make and cooks in no time, giving you the opportunity to focus and put more effort into the side dishes and dessert.

• It is easy to slice and doesn’t involve any messiness or complicated carving.

• The delicious pan juices can easily be spooned over the meat and sides, so there is no need for extra work to make gravy.

• Your guests will be impressed with seeing a different meat centerpiece than the regular bird.

• It works for a small or large crowd.

• Leftover slices are delicious cold or heated, nestled between crusty chunks of bread for lunch the following day.

• No wine, no problem. This recipe will work just fine with water if you don’t like or have white wine on hand. If you do decide to roast the pork in a wine bath, opt for a wine that you like so you can enjoy the rest of the bottle.

But just in the event you are a die-hard turkey fan, have

Makes: 12 to 14 servings Criminally easy to whip up, the pork turns out tender and moist.

Everything about it is so delicious that you won’t wait until next Thanksgiving to make it again.

1 (3 to 3½ pounds) boneless pork loin 3 large garlic cloves, minced 2 teaspoons dry mustard 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, chopped 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped 2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 5 tablespoons olive oil, divided 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, from about 1 lemon 1 cup dry white wine Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Pat meat dry with paper towels, if necessary.

In a small bowl, combine garlic, dry mustard, herbs, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons olive oil and lemon juice to make a paste.

Smear paste evenly over the pork. Allow the meat to sit for about 15 minutes at room temperature.

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add pork and sear until brown on all sides and a nice crust has formed, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the bottom of a roasting pan.

Transfer pork loin to the roasting pan and place it skin side up.

Pour juices and oil from the skillet over the meat. Pour wine into the bottom of the roasting pan.

Cover pan with foil.

Roast pork for 1 hour. Remove foil and roast the meat for 15 minutes longer or until an instant-read thermometer registers 165 degrees when inserted into the thickest and meatiest areas of the pork, and juices are clear.

When pork is done, transfer meat to a carving board, cover loosely with foil and allow it to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. Slice and serve with pan juices spooned over the meat.

Polo schools measure fails by narrow margin

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawmedia.com Shaw Media

POLO – Voters in the school district approved at-large school board elections by 450 votes Tuesday, but the measure failed to meet the twothirds majority required to pass.

A referendum asking whether board members should be elected at large and without restriction as to where they live received 1,132 yes votes to 683 no votes in Ogle and Lee counties, but that amounted to only about a 65 percent majority, just short of the 66.7 percent needed.

Whiteside County totals were not available at press time.

“We got darn close with around 65 percent,” Superintendent Chris

Rademacher said. “It may not have passed, but it’s a feat nonetheless. We came extremely close, and who knows what might happen if we present this question again in the future.”

No more than three members of the board may reside in the same congressional township.

That rule has resulted in top vote-getters sometimes not being seated on the board because the quota for their township was already filled.

The same question was on the ballot in 2007 and was narrowly defeated 241-204.

State laws have changed in the meantime, and he hoped the measure would be more easily approved.

“Last time it had to pass in every township, now it’s a two-thirds majority overall,” he said.

Township merger denied

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawmedia.com Shaw Media

Voters in two Ogle County townships had a difference of opinion Tuesday about joining forces.

Lafayette Township voters favored merging with Taylor Township 55 to 35; Taylor voters narrowly rejected the measure 270 to 277.

For the merger to happen, a majority of voters in both townships had to approve the referendum.

“The people have spoken,” Lafayette Township Supervisor Cliff Jones said. “We’ve talked about it for 12 years, and it was time to let the people decide. They’ve decided.”

Officials in the two townships, on the county’s southern border, have been discussing the possibility over the years, to save money and streamline operations. The two townships have Hoosier Road as the north-south boundary between them.

Sauk Valley sees steady voter turnout

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

Presidential election voter turnouts

STERLING – Sauk Valley voter turnouts were fairly on par with the previous presidential election, although early voting was on the rise.

Voters waited outside polling precincts throughout Whiteside County to cast their ballots as soon as the doors opened Tuesday morning, County Clerk Dana Nelson said, and she was hopeful voter turnout might reach the 80-percent level.

Presidential elections normally yield a higher volume of voters, and the polarizing presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump to become the nation’s next chief executive had voters filing in droves.

“It’s the nature of the race,” Nelson said.

Unofficial election results put Whiteside County voter turnout at 68.39 percent, slightly up from 68.11 percent in 2012 when President Barack Obama was reelected to his second term in office.

Preliminary results in Lee County pegged the turnout at 68.32 percent, a decrease from 70.68 percent in 2012.

Bureau County reported a 69.42 percent turnout, down from 71.16 percent, and Carroll County saw a bump of 68.55 percent, up from 66.44 percent.

Ogle County came in at 72.63 percent, the highest in the area.

Though the turnouts didn’t show the boost county officials were hoping for, they did see an uptick in early voting numbers.

Illinois gathered a record pool of about 8 million registered voters, more than 1.7 million of which weighed in through early or mailin voting by Monday, according to the Illinois State Board of Elections.

That’s up from 1.5 million in 2012 and 1.3 million in 2008.

Nelson said early voting and mail returns increased by more than 20 percent, from 3,491 in 2012 to 4,227.

Lee County Clerk Cathy Myers said the election produced about 3,221

Road ends at Redbird Arena Eastland seniors get to end high school careers at state

LANARK – Nia Blackmore, Ashley Beyers and Makenzie Fink are doing what they need to do in order to get their teammates ready.

The three Eastland volleyball seniors are part of a group that has been to state before, and as Eastland prepares to head to Redbird Arena in Normal for the second year in a row, the three are making sure the younger players who were not a part of the 2015 team are ready for the sort of atmosphere they are about to play in.

“We need to keep them calm and not nervous, because it is intimidating to walk out on such a huge court,” Fink said.

The seniors are even helping to make sure things run smoothly off the court, digging up an old checklist from last year of things players need to bring for the weekend in Normal and sending it around to other players.

“It’s little things like that, things that I’m not focusing on, they’re stepping in and playing

Clements said she told the seniors early on in the preseason that a lot of weight would be on their shoulders, and a lot of younger players would be looking up to them.

“They really stepped up to the challenge and they took on a lot of adversity and change in our lineup, in the way we run our team,” Clements said.

Between a banner cross country season and what he hopes will be a strong track campaign, Chris Ahlers had the not-sosmall task of deciding where he will attend college to figure out.

As it turned out, it wasn’t a tough decision at all. The Newman senior will continue his athletic and academic pursuits at DePaul University in Chicago next fall. Drake, in Des Moines, Iowa, and Loyola of Chicago were Ahlers’ other finalists.

“I like Sterling and Rock Falls, but I wanted to get out a little bit and extend my horizons,” Ahlers said.

“It’s Lincoln Park, in Chicago, so I think it’s a really great place, and there’s a Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com lot of opportunities there.

Sterling’s McPherson will run in Charleston When Sterling senior Maggie McPherson finally got around to thinking about her running future in college, the picture became clearer the longer she looked.

McPherson will sign her letter of intent to run track and cross country next year at Eastern Illinois University during a ceremony today in the high school library.

Her decision came down to her future surroundings in Charleston.

“My junior year, I started getting a lot of offers, and I pushed them aside and didn’t think too much about it,” McPherson said. “Later on, I started to pick up even more offers, and I focused in, and it was hard to pick one. But in the end, it was so clear that Eastern was the best fit for me, so it became an easy pick.”

The key selling point was EIU itself. While located about half as far away as her other finalist, Ball State, it was also a place where she’s had some great experiences before.

It’s really kind of a joke at this point, unfortunately. And it shouldn’t be like that.”

NFL | BEARS

Back to being his old self McPhee making plays, bringing intensity for Bears In the hour after the Bears’ most recent game, Pernell McPhee found himself agitated. It was an odd emotion, what with the Bears mauling the Vikings 20-10 that night with a defensive performance that might have been their liveliest of the year.

All night at Soldier Field, McPhee and his defensive brethren had played, as McPhee likes to say, “like dawgs.” They had attacked the Vikings offensive line and flung around quarterback Sam Bradford like a chew toy. They finished with five sacks and nine quarterback hits, and the Vikings failed to produce more than one first down in six of 10 possessions.

But that was precisely why McPhee felt irked. How could that Bears team – that energized, relentless, nasty bunch – possibly be 2-6 and in last place?

“I hope it pisses everybody off,” McPhee said, “to know we could dominate the league if we really put our mind to it. We just played a great team and we dominated them. It’s got to piss everybody off and [make us] say we shouldn’t lose no more games to teams we don’t have business losing to.”

McPhee’s passion and production go hand in hand. And if visual evidence is needed to assess his impact against the Vikings, rewind through the four times he hit Bradford.

Notice the way he overpowered tackle T.J. Clemmings in the first quarter. Take note of the fourthquarter rush in which he bulled right through Clemmings and running back Ronnie Hillman, barely slowing on his charge into the backfield.

And on the most vicious blow of the night, a second-quarter shot that sent Bradford flying and his hurried pass fluttering backward for a free ball? Well, that sequence made outside linebackers coach Clint Hurtt chuckle.

“Old-school Pernell,” Hurtt said, taking note of the sheer violence with which McPhee overpowered Clemmings before assaulting Bradford.

Hurtt chuckled because he

Chicago outside linebacker Pernell McPhee (92) feels the Bears defense could “dominate the league” if they put their mind to it. sensed all of that was coming.

The rest of the world might have looked at McPhee’s Week 7 debut in Green Bay and seen an empty stat sheet, a 19-snap performance in which the veteran appeared rusty and less than confident.

But the Packers game, Hurtt knew, was “a feeler” for McPhee.

In the hours before the Vikings game, Hurtt saw something else entirely when McPhee’s bulging eyes swelled to the size of toast plates.

“He gets that bug-eyed look on his face and he gets that glossy stare,” Hurtt said. “Like if you watch Animal Planet, ‘Shark Week,’ and you see those damn sharks and those eyes go black?

Yeah. When Pernell had that look [before the Vikings game], I said, ‘Yeah, he’s ready to roll. I don’t have to really worry about anything else.’”

The ones worrying this week might be Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston and right tackle Demar Dotson – and tight end Luke Stocker, and running back Peyton Barber, and anyone else who might be charged with blocking McPhee on Sunday.

If the Vikings game is any indication, the Bears defense might

be hitting its stride with McPhee revving back up, both with his play and the competitive zeal he generates.

To be clear, McPhee has played only two games in 10 months, and will have to show his left knee can remain durable down the stretch. These last two games were merely a starting point.

Still, Hurtt assessed McPhee’s production versus the Vikings and noticed how much leaner he looked, how much more spry he seemed to be, how he was rarely on the ground unnecessarily.

“He’s so much lighter and faster coming around the edge,” Hurtt said. “And yet he’s still explosive and violent.”

McPhee’s intensity also seems to invigorate everyone around him.

“It’s like lighting a match to fuel,” cornerback Tracy Porter said. “He’s going to fire us up.

We know what he brings to the table, and we’re able to feed off his passion.”

Added Hurtt: “It’s an intensity, man. I look at him and I’m like, ‘OK, he’s ready to roll.’ I think his teammates look at him and are like, ‘I better not screw this up, dealing with him.’ It’s good for us to have that back out there.”

GB in unfamiliar territory at .500 Packers look to play with more energy in second half of season GREEN BAY, Wis. – Mike Daniels’ angry voice could be heard from a far-off corner of the Packers locker room in the bitter minutes following a disheartening loss to Indianapolis.

A .500 record doesn’t cut it in Green Bay, not for a team with perennial Super Bowl aspirations.

On Monday, after the Packers (4-4) dissected their 31-26 defeat to the Colts, Daniels spoke with intensity that matched his no-holdsbarred style of play.

“Nobody in this locker room should go home and have a good night’s rest tonight or for the rest of this week. That’s flat-out,” Daniels said when asked about if the Packers can turn things around. The barrelchested defensive tackle agreed with teammate Julius Peppers’ assessment that it can be done.

“I feel like we have people in this locker room, this whole locker room, that nobody’s going to be getting any good sleep tonight,” Daniels said.

Green Bay allowed a 99-yard touchdown return on the opening kickoff to Jordan Todman, a jolt that left the Packers playing catchup the rest of the day. It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the Packers regained momentum with two quick touchdowns to cut into an 18-point deficit with 9:35 left.

But Green Bay came up short. A few players, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers, spoke about a lack of energy earlier in the game.

Newman’s Chris Ahlers runs with the baton after an exchange in the 3,200-meter relay at the 2015 Class 1A state track finals in Charleston.

Ahlers will primarily run track for the DePaul Blue Demons, and he will compete in cross country as a freshman next fall.

Ahlers hopes to become a doctor DePAUL

CONTINUED FROM B1

t He noted DePaul has one of the top medical schools in the country, and students who have good grades as an undergraduate will automatically have DePaul as an option for medical school.

“I think all of the academic opportunities that I had, they were just a little bit better than the other ones that I had,” Ahlers said. “It’s close to home, and it’s the Big East Conference, which is a pretty prestigious conference.

All things considered, it was a good fit for me, and I’m very excited.”

Ahlers visited the DePaul campus on Monday, Oct. 24, and Blue Demons assistant coach Derrick Peterson, who recruited Ahlers, was his host. They attended a practice, met with current team members, and toured the campus.

By the end of the visit, Ahlers was sold. He’ll sign a national letter of intent to be faxed in later in the week, and Newman will have a ceremony sometime next week for its latest Division I athlete.

Ahlers plans to run cross country as a freshman, and possibly more, but will primarily be a track athlete for

the Blue Demons, who finished third in the Big East Conference meet last spring. He’ll run anywhere from 800 meters to 3 kilometers.

“They’re very competitive in track and field,” Ahlers said, “and I’m ready to be a part of that program.”

Ahlers was a 4-year state qualifier in cross country for the Comets, highlighted by a seventh-place finish this past weekend with a time of 15 minutes, 12 seconds over the 3-mile Detweiller Park course in Peoria. He also placed 36th as a junior (15:47), 96th as a sophomore (16:25), and 70th as a freshman (16:18).

In track and field, Ahlers was a state qualifier in the 800 and 1,600 last spring as a junior.

He also competed in Charleston as a sophomore, placing seventh in the 1,600 and combining with Bryson Reyes, Quincy Coomes and Drew Rosengren to take ninth in the 3,200 relay.

The immediate athletic plan for Ahlers is to continue his offseason training program to get ready for his last year of high school track. After that, he’ll be in the Blue Demons’ hands.

“I’m sure the regimen will be different next summer,” Ahlers said, “but I’ll cross that bridge when I have to.”

t McPherson qualified for the state track & field meet in each of the last two springs, which is run on the blue track of O’Brien Stadium.

She also found herself feeling right at home when she visited the campus over the summer.

“It’s just familiar to me, being down there a couple times for state track, then taking a couple of visits there over the summer and spending a lot of time with both the girls and boys teams,” McPherson said. “The first thing I loved was the coach and the team, just so welcoming and close-knit.

“That’s what I was most looking for, somewhere with a team I could feel comfortable with and have good times with. EIU had that kind of environment that I wanted to be in.”

The original visit was a strange feeling for McPherson, who said she immediately started reacting like she has the last two years before the state track meet. Eventually, however, she overcame those pre-race butterfly-type feelings and found herself reminiscing about much happier memories.

“At first it made me nervous, because every time I get down there I’m nervous and anxious for the state meet,” McPherson said. “Just standing on the track I was overwhelmed, and I started to feel so

Sterling’s Maggie McPherson runs the 1,600-meter run last spring at the Class 2A state track meet at O’Brien Stadium on the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

But then I realized that I have so many great memories of team and individual success, and I’m hoping I can carry that over to 4 more years of track.”

McPherson was a 4-year varsity competitor in cross country for the Golden Warriors,

and she’ll run her fourth varsity season of track next spring. Coach Tyler Gaumer has seen the hard work McPherson has put in throughout her career at Sterling, and says he takes pride in all of the athletes from his programs who can realize their dreams of running at the collegiate level.

“You want these things to happen for your kids,” Gaumer said. “It takes so much to go right for this to happen, it takes the kids putting themselves in the right situations and making the right decisions over a long course of time.

The final payoff is always a big deal, and there’s a lot of pride in that.”

Fink said that special connection goes back to when they were freshmen.

“We were both the youngest on the team,” Fink said. “I think that made us bond. I think that’s why we click the way we do today.”

Beyers said it seems like they’ve always been friends, but volleyball has made that bond grow stronger.

“Us three seniors have always been really good friends,” FInk said. “We’ve always stuck together, since our freshman year. I think that’s helped us to get to be where we are today.”

Blackmore said it’s exciting that their run together ends with a trip to state. They have helped each other get here, gaining power and learning from each other along the way.

“Back in eighth grade, we had such a big group of girls doing volleyball,” Blackmore said. “Down to three seniors, there’s a wow factor

NHL | BLACKHAWKS

TUESDAY’S SCOREBOARD

Switching sides not ideal, but OK

Football

Hjalmarsson’s versatility helping Blackhawks win

BY CHRIS HINE Chicago Tribune

Niklas Hjalmarsson didn’t even try to hide the sarcasm in his voice.

When asked how he felt about the Blackhawks having him switch sides of the blue line almost every game, Hjalmarsson smiled.

“Oh, I love it,” he said.

For the record, he loves it about as much as a toothache. But as a dutiful hockey player, Hjalmarsson sets aside personal preference in the name of helping the team.

“I’ll play wherever they want me to play, but honestly, it is different to play on both sides,” Hjalmarsson said. “But I’ll just try to focus on playing my best.”

The Hawks have asked a lot of Hjalmarsson in that respect over the first 13 games, but it has worked out fine – they have won six consecutive games. So Hjalmarsson switching based on whom coach Joel Quenneville pairs him with has not been a hindrance.

Versatility as a defenseman is both a blessing and a curse. It’s good for your team because it provides more options in the lineup, but it could be bad for you individually because you can’t get used to one side or you have to play on your unnatural side.

The Hawks have also

The Kings’ Dustin Brown (23) battles the Blackhawks’ Niklas Hjalmarsson for the puck during a game Oct. 30 in Chicago. Hjalmarsson’s versatility is a big reason the Blackhawks have won six games in a row. asked Brian Campbell, whose natural side is left, to play mostly on the right.

“If I had to choose, everybody would say the same: They’d play on one side for the whole season and get used to it and find a rhythm,” Hjalmarsson said. “But if that’s best for our team, I’ll do it.”

Hjalmarsson has played the most minutes with Duncan Keith (88:19), Brent Seabrook (74:46) and Gustav Forsling (61:04). When he is with Keith or Forsling, Hjalmarsson is on the right; he’s on the left with

Seabrook.

Hjalmarsson’s Corsi percentage – the amount of shots a team produces compared with its opponent when a player is on the ice – is around 50 percent during five-onfive play with all three.

But Forsling shows a noticeable decline when you take him away from Hjalmarsson. Forsling, an offensive-leaning defenseman, has a Corsi rate of 48 percent with Hjalmarsson, according to Naturalstattrick.com, and 37.9 percent with any other defenseman.

Forsling and Hjalmarsson have played together

the last few games.

Forsling’s defensive game is a work in progress, but Hjalmarsson, regarded as one of the best defensive defensemen in the NHL, can help suppress shots and compensate for Forsling’s shortcomings.

“That versatility gives us a lot of options based on our personnel,” Quenneville said. “He can be a strong defender either side. He’s effective both places. He can play important minutes for you, whether it’s the matchup that moves him over or whether it’s our lineup.”

Bulls’ Wade not thinking about rest Veteran guard plans to play back-to-back vs. Hawks, Heat By the Chicago Tribune

The last time Dwyane Wade played the second of back-to-back games, it didn’t go so well.

That won’t stop the veteran guard from appearing in the Bulls’ next two games today against the Hawks and Thursday against Heat, both on the road. At some point, Wade is expected to take a game or two off to rest his 34-year-old body, but with a showdown against his former team looming, that time is not now.

“My goal is to be able to do what I can to help our team,” Wade said before the Bulls’ 112-80 victory over the Magic on Monday. “It’s not that big of a game to me to be thinking about taking time off. My focus is ... to go on the road and figure out what I can do to help this team play better. I’ll deal with Miami when I get there.”

In the Bulls’ first set of back-to-backs last week,

“I thought the game changed then,” Hoiberg said.

Canaan has talked only positive about his 99-game 76ers stint. It made him a rotation player, and he’s proud of their competitiveness during a massive rebuilding project.

But it’s clear he’s relishing his role – and trying AP Bulls head coach Fred Hoiberg (center) speaks to to expand it – as the first Isaiah Canaan (0) and Dwyane Wade (3) during a guard off the bench since Michael Carter-Williams game on Oct. 31 in New York. The Bulls won 118-88. went down with a bone bruise in his left knee.

Watch spots to avoid road bumps

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Here is one of Jeff Foxworthy’s redneck jokes: “If you think the last four words of the national anthem are ‘Gentlemen, start your engines,’ you might be a redneck.”

When you are a bridge declarer, you try to play smoothly and make your contract.

Like a race car driver, you try to steer around bumps in the road.

In today’s deal, which bump should South avoid in three no-trump after winning the first trick with dummy’s heart 10?

In the auction, after North opened with a weak two-bid, South sensibly used the artificial two-no-trump inquiry.

He planned to pass if partner rebid three spades to show a minimum. Here, though,

North replied with three notrump. In the old days, this guaranteed a suit headed by the ace-king-queen. However, as that happened so rarely, nowadays this rebid indicates a maximum with a

suit headed by at least the ace-queen-jack. (Note that four spades fails if East leads a club, West shifts to a diamond and West gets a club ruff.)

South understandably wanted to score four club tricks, but just in case the break was bad, he carefully covered dummy’s six with his jack. West now made a very sneaky play -- she shifted to the spade 10.

South never believed West could be underleading the king, so he won with dummy’s ace and successfully ran the club eight, underscoring his key play at trick two.

Declarer took another club finesse, then cashed his remaining winners in that suit and hearts. Finally, he led the heart jack and was lucky that he had to score his diamond king. © 2016 UFS

OUTGROWING YOUR HOUSE?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Keep a low profile, observe others and, most of all, avoid an emotional confrontation that could leave you in a vulnerable position.

Discipline and hard work will be your saving graces.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If you change things up a bit, you will find your niche. Let your creativity flow and your intuition lead the way in order to avoid wasting time.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Look for alternatives if things aren’t going your way. Live and learn, and proceed to your next endeavor. Don’t let the past hold you back. Positive change should begin from within.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don’t limit what you can accomplish just because you are afraid of a challenge or competition. Be smart, use your intuition and make reasonable choices. Protect your health and wealth.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Make plans that will help you present and promote your projects.

Getting your facts straight will help prepare you for an opportunity to advance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A focus on compromise will encourage friendship and set the stage for open and honest communication.

Share information and form alliances. Don’t give in to bullies or fold under pressure.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You need to take a breather. Give yourself a chance to discover what you want instead of following someone else’s plan.

Broaden your horizons and explore your options.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Share your thoughts, express your opinions and let your feelings be known.

The more you engage in group efforts or one-on-one talks with someone you respect, the better equipped you will be to thrive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Getting involved in activities that will allow you to show your strength, courage or dedication will change the way others view you. Opportunity will result if you travel or meet with former colleagues.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22) -- A change at home may disgruntle you, but in the end, it will turn out in your favor. Patience, understanding and resolve will help you overcome a dilemma.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Reach out to older friends or relatives. What you have to offer will be well received, and the wisdom and experience you gain in turn will be helpful.
