GI’s should get care packages in time for Christmas PACKAGES

He sent it to her when she was 4, back when she couldn’t pronounce Adam.

Now, some students in Maelynn’s school are returning the favor, sending a little bit of home to soldiers overseas – but even more so, the East Coloma-Nelson School students are sending their thanks for protecting all that we hold dear. “I’m thanking them for helping out our community,� Maelynn said.

Superintendent David Chavira floated the idea for kids to give a lift to the school’s former middle school math teacher, Jeff Steder, who’s on a 6-month tour in Qatar, Kuwait.

After serving in the Navy for 4 years, he’s been in the Air National Guard for 15 years, during which time he taught at the school from the fall of 2007 through 2013. He was active military during the 2012-13 year.

As long as mail moves as quickly as expected, he and all the members of his unit will receive more than half a dozen boxes by Christmas, each packed with essentials, treats, and entertainment items.

suggested the program: Bill Doering. His scouts send out about 100 such packages every year.

She rapidly enlisted teachers and staff – most notably the Nicoles: first-year secretary Nicole Allison and reading specialist Nicole Sands – to give the kids direction. “I just threw it out there to the staff, and they ran with it – which is what they do,� Chavira said.

This particular initiative hits close to home for him. Steder and his kid brother, Joe, grew up here. In fact, Joe was the best man in Chavira’s wedding.

What’s more, a lot of the older kids at the school remember, and miss, Steder. “He genuinely cared about the kids and did some outsidethe-box thinking to make sure they learn,� Chavira said. “He took it very personally and had a lot of honor in the job.�

Not surprising. He’s a military man after all. He also coached girls and boys hoops a year apiece at the school, and football for a year, too.

But he’s also a father, as are so many fighting for our freedom, Gallentine said. “Dad’s going to be gone for the holidays,� Gallentine said. “That’s not just a sacrifice for the soldier, but for the whole family. “Our kids are very empathetic.�

City tightening up its budget

Time to change course

Fewer tax dollars coming in, but council wants to avoid tax increase

BY ZACH ARBOGAST Shaw Media zarbogast@shawmedia.com

TIF meeting

OREGON – The City Council on Tuesday hired a new police officer, discussed next year’s tax levy, approved a facade grant for local builders, and reminded the public of an upcoming TIF meeting.

Right off the top, Steven Mattas, 22, was sworn in as the newest member of the police force. Born and raised in Rochelle, he’s studying criminal justice at Illinois State University.

“Normally, after the classroom portion, you’re then required to serve an internship with a criminal justice agency, and we’re hoping to get him those credits through our system” Chief Darin DeHaan said.

Mattas will attend the College of DuPage-based Suburban Law Enforcement in January.

2016 levy extension The taxing amount has stayed the same, but the council is collecting less money overall: $26 per resident, to be exact.

“The bottom line is that we’re not collecting any more taxes or money from our residents than we have in the past,” Tax Levy Commissioner Terry Schuster said.

“We’re not increasing tax revenue, we’re tightening our budgets next year to avoid such an increase.”

Facade The council also approved a $1,000 facade grant for Wiggale LLC, owned by Mark Gale and Kevin Wiegmann.

Wiggale applied for the grant to help cover some of the costs to replace the second-story windows in the National Clothing House building on the northwest corner of Washington and Fourth streets, which he bought in 2014.

TIF meeting A public meeting will be held Dec. 6 at the Oregon

The public meeting for the proposed TIF district will be at 5 p.m. Dec. 6, at the Oregon Coliseum, 124 N. Fourth St.

What is a TIF district?

Tax increment funding, or a TIF district, is a method of financing economic development projects by freezing the equalized assessed value of the affected area for up to 23 years.

Taxing bodies then draw taxes from that frozen EAV, not from any increase in the EAV over the time period of the TIF. Taxpayers in the TIF, however, pay taxes on the EAV with its increases. The amount of taxes from the EAV increases above the frozen level go into a fund to be spent only on the TIF district.

The TIF fund can be used for low-interest loans for businesses wishing to locate in the district or for infrastructure improvements in the district.

If a TIF district is approved by governing bodies, businesses can use TIF money for certain expenses such as studies and surveys, development of plans, marketing sites, acquisition of land, demolition, reconstruction and repairs, some new construction, abatement of contaminants, and job training projects.

Coliseum to discuss a proposed TIF district.

The district is broken up into four key, connected areas: the northern downtown area through Washington Street; the Northeastern Settlers Ridge subdivision; the riverfront; and the southern Pines Road corridor, Mayor Ken Williams said.

“Since the start-up costs are the same, whether this is your first or fourth TIF district, we opted to cover a larger area in one sweep and avoid paying the $40,000 start-up fee four times,” Schuster said.

Residents and city agree: It’s time to do something about Fargo Creek ​BY RACHEL RODGERS rrodgers@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600 ext. 5529 @rj_rodgers

DIXON – From submerged basements to a collapsed street, flooding along Fargo Creek has presented a steady flow of problems for the city.

The City Council approved a flood study in October to look for improvements and priority areas along the creek, which splits into east and west forks and flows from the Rock River to Bloody Gulch Road.

The creek is normally dry, but is prone to flash flooding, which can take a toll on residents as well as city infrastructure. Extreme examples of that were the heavy rain in August that left parts of Dixon under about 3 or 4 feet of water, and the summer of 2015 when a portion of West Seventh Street collapsed.

About 30 community members weighed in on the creek’s trouble spots durCole ing a project meetO’Donnell Dixon’s city ing Tuesday hosted manager: “We by the city and Rock can’t get rid Island-based Veenof flooding completely,” stra & Kimm Inc., which is conducting but we can minimize it. the study for about $87,900. Veenstra sent out between 200 and 300 letters to residents along the creek’s path, inviting them to the project meeting and looking for comments on flooding issues.

Mona Daum, who lives at Fourth Street and Highland Avenue, adjacent to the creek’s west tributary, said heavy flooding and inadequate drainage is damaging her property and others around it.

“The water races like a river, and it has nowhere to go,” she said.

Erosion from flooding is also wearing on the driveway and sidewalk, and causing the ground to sink near a retaining wall that dips about 4 or 5 feet underground.

“I’m very, very nervous the whole wall is going to cave in,” she said.

Other issues have sprung up on

Dixon police work helped crack other robberies in the region ROBBERIES

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

While investigating, Dixon police learned of numerous other similar armed robberies across northern Illinois. As a result of their investigation, several similar armed robberies in the Kankakee area have been solved, Chief Danny Langloss said.

Police are working closely with the FBI and Rock Falls and other police departments in the ongoing investigation. The FBI has been involved in solving similar robberies involving other orga-

nized rings of thieves, and federal charges could be levied in this case at some Michael point down Lane-Calhoun the road.

Next Generation Wireless, a U.S. Cellular agent at 1021 First Ave. in Rock Falls, was robbed shortly before 8 p.m. Nov. 8; the U.S. Cellular store at 166 Keul Road in Dixon was hit around 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10.

Both involved three black men with handguns, all of whom wore masks. Both times, they

tied up employees, took cash and merchandise and fled in a dark gray car. Both robberies took less than 10 minutes. In the Dixon robbery, two men remained outside the store as lookouts, Langloss said.

Several similar robberies have happened in Rockford recently. With few variations, they were committed by two or

Not everyone is happy about higher blends BIOFUEL

CONTINUED FROM A1 t

Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, a member of the House Agriculture Committee, was among a group of legislators to sign a letter to the EPA that asked for an increase in biofuels usage.

She applauded the ruling that was handed down Wednesday. “Today is a major step forward for our farmers and biofuel producers who want to be a part of the solution as we work to achieve American energy independence,� Bustos said.

Bustos said increased biofuel levels will strength-

en Illinois farmers and help break the nation’s dependence on foreign fossil fuels. “Every time we choose to use biofuels instead of imported oil, we choose to put American jobs and American innovation first,�

Bustos said.

While farmers consider the new RFS levels a win, they are still battling for adherence to the 2007 law that set up the system governing renewable fuel use.

The law had set the 2017 overall biofuels levels at 24 billion gallons.

On the other side of the argument, the oil industry voiced its opposition to the ruling, telling consumers

that putting more ethanol in fuel will damage vehicle engines.

The EPA has delayed its decisions on the grounds that factors have come into play since the law was written that make the original targets unrealistic. Big Oil has argued that a “blend wall� would be hit if the nation adds more than 10 percent ethanol to its fuel supplies. The concern is not only with what’s safe for engines, but whether the ethanol industry can produce enough to meet the targets.

Total renewable fuel volumes grew by 1.2 billion gallons over the past year, a 6 percent increase.

three armed black men in their 20s – their faces masked with bandanas or otherwise hidden – who entered a store, moved employees and customers to a back room, made them open a safe, tied them up, grabbed money and electronics, and fled in about 10 minutes or less, often in a gray sedan.

SVM EDITORIAL BOARD ROUNDTABLE

www.saukvalley.com

Friday, November 25, 2016

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Nate Beeler, GateHouse News Service

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: Do you support the Electoral College system for electing our president, or would you prefer switching to popular vote?

F

or the fifth time in U.S. history, and for the second time in the past five general elections, a U.S. president has been elected without winning the popular vote.

Unless, of course, a handful of “faithless electors” cast an official ballot Dec. 19 that goes against the will of the people of their state. But enough about that.

Ah, the Electoral College. The archaic, complex, and to most Americans, baffling way that U.S. presidents are selected.

Without getting into the complexities of the Electoral College, the lead of its story is that a candidate can garner the most votes nationwide and still not be president.

Donald Trump will be president on Jan. 20. Hillary Clinton received the most votes Nov. 8.

I understand the arguments supporting the Electoral College system – the main one being that it

I

prefer one person, one vote.

You’re told from day one that every vote counts; but if you’re not voting with the majority, then no, it doesn’t. All the Electoral College votes (except for two states) go to a state’s majority votegetter.

That seems counterproductive to the basic concept of democracy.

When the Constitution was formed, it was more difficult for average people to educate themselves about the merits of each candidate, and having representatives who voted on the behalf of the general populace made more sense.

T

wo presidential elections out of the past five have had mixed results, causing some to question the entire Electoral College process. In 2000, Al Gore, the Democrat, won the popular vote by 543,000 votes but lost the Electoral College to Republican George W. Bush, 271-266.

On Nov. 8, Hillary Clinton, also a Democrat, won the popular vote by even more (about 1.7 million votes) but lost the Electoral College to Republican Donald Trump, 290232, with Michigan’s 16 votes outstanding.

So if you are a Democrat, you might understandably have serious reservations about the Electoral College. Some Republicans might, as well.

But that’s the way our Constitution was established – to include important checks on unbridled majority rule. For one thing, power is distributed among the executive, legislative and judicial branches of government.

And in the Congress, the Senate protects smallpopulation states from

gives power to voters in less populated parts of the country they might not otherJeff Rogers wise have.

In theory, Editor it ensures presidential candidates will campaign more often in those regions.

What it actually ensures is that candidates will campaign mostly in the few states that will decide the election’s outcome.

How often do you recall presidential nominees campaigning in Illinois?

It also makes it possible for a candidate to receive the most votes and still lose. There’s no argument that justifies that result, whether the loser is a Democrat or Republican.

(It’s never been a Republican, by the way.)

For partisan reasons, the Electoral College won’t likely be replaced by the popular vote any time soon. But it should.

Today, the Electoral College simply feeds political ennui. If you think your Kathleen vote doesn’t Schultz matter, you News editor are less likely to vote.

No Electoral College, bigger voter turnout – and likely a more thoughtful, engaged citizenry. People would feel more invested in the process, less disconnected from their government. Look where that’s gotten us.

States elect their leaders by direct vote. The country as a whole should as well. tyrannical rule of largepopulation states by guaranteeing each state the Jim Dunn same numOpinion page ber of seats. editor Similarly, the Electoral College is designed to prevent one section of the nation from riding roughshod over the rest by spreading out electoral votes across the land, which forces a candidate to have widespread appeal over a good-sized portion of the nation to succeed.

So I would say I prefer the status quo, although I would not mind seeing Illinois go the way of Nebraska and Maine and drop the winner-take-all system for awarding electoral votes.

Instead, allot two electoral votes to the overall winner and the remainder based on who wins each congressional district.

That might just prompt a renewal of serious presidential campaigning across some regions of our Chicago-dominated blue state.

What do you think? Let us know. Write a letter to the editor and send it to Sauk Valley Media. t Editorials

STATEHOUSE INSIDER

Back to same old, same old Election hasn’t changed much among bigwigs Let the games resume.

A week after elections that saw Republicans make inroads into Democratic majorities in the General Assembly, it was back to business as usual, at least for public consumption.

House Speaker Michael Madigan, citing a scheduling conflict, first shunned a meeting with Gov. Bruce Rauner and the other leaders, then attended. He continued, though, to say the focus should be on a state budget and not Rauner’s other agenda items. He wants to appoint a new group of lawmakers to negotiate a budget.

At the same time, Rauner and the Republican leaders insisted that a spending plan without reforms to improve the state’s business climate doesn’t provide a longterm fix for the state’s budget. They initially said Madigan is stalling a solution, then softened that a bit to say they’ll take Democrats at their word that they’re ready to work on a solution.

For his part, Senate President John Cullerton left the second confab of the week saying he

thought it was “very productive,” so much so that he’d be willing to attend more meetings in a similar vein.

Maybe they’ll all be able to reach some sort of agreement that will keep state spending going after Dec. 31. It just doesn’t seem right now that that agonizing campaign season has done all that much to change anything.

Worst-pension title shed for now A couple of weeks ago, Bloomberg reported that New Jersey unseated Illinois for having the worstfunded pension systems.

It said New Jersey had $135 billion in pension debt compared to Illinois’ $119 billion.

Bloomberg’s number was higher than the $111 billion previously used for Illinois’ pension debt.

Then last week, the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability did its annual review of the

state’s pension systems and reported the debt to be nearly $130 billion.

The best-funded of the systems is for university employees. The worstfunded, by a very wide margin, is the one for state lawmakers.

The COGFA numbers are depressing on one hand, but they also show Illinois is within striking distance of regaining its title for worst-funded pensions.

More bargaining?

Extremely unlikely When hundreds of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees members did informational picketing [Nov. 17], the theme was “don’t dictate, negotiate.”

In other words, the union wants Rauner to return to continue bargaining over a new contract, even though the Illinois Labor Relations Board said things are at an impasse and he doesn’t have to. Let’s review what happened between Tuesday’s board ruling and the start of the demonstrations.

About 24 hours after the ruling, the Rauner administration said it was going ahead with plans to impose a merit pay-raise plan and to extend the work week for AFSCME members from

37.5 hours to 40 hours before overtime kicks in.

So it took next to no time for the administration to begin imposing its contract terms rather than waver about continuing negotiations.

Bright and early on the morning of Nov. 17, the administration announced that April 22, 2017, will be the firstever State Day of Service in Illinois. That will be a day when people can volunteer to do things for the state, such as clean up state parks, help with projects at the fairgrounds, or do volunteer work at veterans’ homes, the administration said.

This was all made possible, the administration said, with the termination of the previous AFSCME contract through the board ruling.

The administration provided a couple of examples where AFSCME blocked the use of volunteers at a state park and veterans’ homes, contending they were doing work that should be done by union workers.

The point is, the administration announced this thing the morning of the demonstrations, so it was basically another poke in AFSCME’s eye.

Think they’re going back to the bargaining table?

DAY TRIP | PEORIA

Rising from the depths Titanic tragedy comes to life through pieces of the legendary liner’s past

M

more than 5,500 objects from the wreckage site’s “debris field” (scattered objects, not portions of the ship itself).

Since 2005, manned sub descents have been supplanted by robotic forays.

Some of the artifacts featured in the Peoria exhibit are unique to the museum’s show. The pieces will offer a poignant look at the ship and her passengers, be it through the perfume from a maker traveling to New York to sell his samples or china etched with the logo of the White Star Line logo. The exhibition also includes extensive re-creations of the ship’s interior, an interactive iceberg, and a Memorial Gallery where guests take their boarding pass to a memorial wall to discover whether their passenger and traveling companions survived or perished.

The exhibit, its artifacts, and guests’ interactions with pieces of the past provide a human connection to an epic disaster that still resonates and fascinates today.

“When you come face to face with pieces of history such as these, it really is something,” says Lach.

“These artifacts speak to us today in a very powerful way,” he said. “When you walk up to a piece of the ship or a piece of first-class china that looks like it was put on the table yesterday, it really brings everything into focus.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ark Lach has been there, done that in a way no one likely ever will again.

Sixteen years ago, he took a voyage to the bottom of the sea to witness one of its most humbling spectacles.

Nearly 3 miles down he went during a 12-hour journey into the black depths of the North Atlantic, aboard a 30-foot-long sub with a passenger area no larger than the front end of a compact car and with just 6 inches of titanium steel separating him from the humbling spectacle.

For the next 4 months, people can witness some of what Lach saw, but at a much safer setting, courtesy the Peoria Riverfront Museum’s newly opened attraction, “Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition,” moored there until March 12.

The exhibit, says Lach, is the latest variant on the series of blockbuster shows that began touring the country 19 years ago, via Premier Exhibitions, for which he is creative director.

Premier is subsidiary of RMS Titanic Inc., which holds exclusive rights to artifact recovery from the debris site of the “unsinkable” ship that went down the morning of April 15, 1912, taking more than 1,500 lives with it.

An estimated 25 to 30 million visitors around the world have viewed the exhibits, the result of eight expeditions since 1987 that have recovered

Family is divided over immunizations Dear Abby, I’m engaged to a wonderful man I have been with for 5 years. We plan to get married as soon as his house sells and we can move into another home as a family. He has three children; I have four. Our kids get along well enough, and no serious parenting issues have come up yet.

My concern is, he and his ex-wife haven’t immunized their kids.

I have. All four of my children are up to date with their shots. We have agreed to disagree on this subject.

With the kids living together under the same roof, is there anything I should worry about as far as kids getting sick?

I have read somewhere that it isn’t good to have kids who are immunized around those who aren’t.

– Wants the Facts in Indiana

involve two or more shots.

According to the Food and Drug Administration: “For reasons related to the individual, not all vaccinated persons develop immunity. Most routine childhood vaccines are effective for 85 to 95 percent of recipients.” If your children happen to fall into the unfortunate 5 to 15 percent category of recipients who haven’t developed full immunity, then you should be concerned.

Dear Wants the Facts, Have you discussed this with their doctors?

If you visit vaccines.gov, you will find a complete explanation of why vaccinations are so important and why parents should ensure that their children receive the optimum dose, which might

Dear Abby, My mother-in-law is a wonderful lady, but I’m having a hard time with how she is around my children. She is extremely obsessive over giving them baths, changing their diapers and, basically, just seeing them naked.

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

Truth?

SUPPORT GROUPS, CLUBS AND SERVICES

Dear Just, I don’t know your mother-in-law, so I can’t judge her motivations.

She was a mother before she became a grandmother, and it might be perfectly innocent.

However, if something is going on that makes you uneasy, you must remember that, as your children’s mother, you have a responsibility to put a stop to anything you do not feel is appropriate.

Dear Abby, My husband has a brother, “Tom,” who is 10 years younger. He recently returned from college and is living with my in-laws. Tom has visited us a few times since his arrival. When he comes over, he doesn’t bother to ring the doorbell or knock; he simply lets himself in.

I don’t appreciate the lack of privacy in my own home. People should at least knock or yell “hello” from the doorway before barging in. When I told my husband it bothered me, he got upset and defensive and accused me of “picking on” his family.

Am I making too much of this?

– Ding Dong in Texas Dear Ding Dong, No, you’re not. You

didn’t mention how long you and your husband have been married, but your home is not a bachelor pad that people drift in and out of. You are entitled to some privacy, and time to cover up if you are in a state of undress.

That people ring the bell, knock on the door or yell to announce their presence is not too much to ask. In fact, it’s considered good manners.

P.S. Keeping the door locked could help solve the problem.

At 91, he couldn’t help falling in love The fourth time was a charm for a determined veteran who finally won his 76-year-old blushing bride’s hand GULFPORT, Miss. – Four times Retired Navy Chief William “Wild Bill” Allen asked his sweetheart to marry him before she said yes.

Allen, 91, and Jamie Simpson Shubert, 76, exchanged their wedding vows with smiles and laughter Sunday evening before a standing-roomonly crowd. They were wed in the chapel at the Armed Forces Retirement Home, where Allen lives.

“She has a radiant personality,” said Allen, a World War II veteran who served for 22 years.

“I know how to pick ’em,” he said.

They met in January during karaoke night in a club at the Retirement Home.

“I’d never been to karaoke, and I don’t know why I went that night,” Allen said.

“She was sitting at the bar because all the chairs and tables were taken up, so I asked if I could sit with her and she said, ‘yes.’ We later sat on the balcony and watched the full moon.”

“We started talking and we started dating and something happened.

We both realized we want companionship,” Allen said.

And they would sing karaoke. He said his favorite song is “I Can’t Help Falling in Love With You,” and hers is “Moonglow.”

Allen’s bride, a Biloxi, Mississippi, resident and former school teacher, said she didn’t feel like they knew each other well enough when he asked her to marry him the first three times.

Things changed one afternoon as they sat on a bench at a dock and watched some fishermen.

“We talked and we talked and we must have sat there 3 hours,” she said. “I realized I love him.”

They had dinner at her favorite restaurant, and she agreed to marry him.

“We should be old enough to know better,” she said with a laugh, “but we don’t.”

It’s Allen’s fourth marriage and his bride’s second.

hat the Pilgrims who came to America considered it right and proper to honor God with a feast of thanksgiving, despite losing nearly half of their numbers to disease and lack of proper shelter during their first year speaks volumes about their character.

That many present-day Americans see the holiday as little more than a chance to indulge the vices of sloth and gluttony perhaps says more about our character than we would wish. But we should not imagine that there was no grumbling among the Pilgrims. Surely some of them grumbled and complained about the conditions and rued the day they left European shores, and it is likely that some of them felt more like cursing God than thanking Him. But the better angels of their nature won the day, and in November of 1621 the Pilgrims celebrated a harvest with the natives, in what was the first Thanksgiving. We should take this as counsel to give thanks in all things, both in good times and in bad, in times of plenty and in times of scarcity, and to share our harvest with our families, friends and neighbors, no matter the size of the harvest or our relations with our families, friends and neighbors. – Christopher Simon

In the play, “Oliver Twist” gets mixed up with “A Christmas Carol” in a “hysterical spoof of Dickensian excesses about Christmas, poor people and the rich people who don’t care about them,” according to a news release.

“A Christmas Twist” is “bursting with humor that makes affectionate fun of Christmas sentimentality.”

The show stars Mavrik McMeekan, Jay Pauley, George Bellovics, Tori Duffin, Samantha Butts, Travis Fisher and Tim Boles.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for students. They are $15 each with groups of six or more.

Advance tickets are available at dixonstageleft.ticketleap.com, or at Trein’s, 201 W. First St., or The Crystal Cork, 219 W. First St. The recommended age for audience members is 12 and older, because of mild language and adult humor.

RF shoots to title Defense leads Rockets to shootout win

BY CODY CUTTER ccutter@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5552 @CodyCutter35

ROCK FALLS – Coming into Wednesday’s Sauk Valley Shootout finale against Sterling, the Rock Falls Rockets had two goals in mind.

One was to get the win and a 4-0 tournament finish. The other was to limit the Golden Warriors to less than 25 points.

Done, and done.

For the first time in 9 years, Rock Falls claimed the championship of the round-robin tournament with a 53-21 win at Tabor Gymnasium.

The Rockets (4-0) limited the Golden Warriors (1-3) to 10 first-half points. They followed that with seven third-quarter steals and only a single field goal allowed. In all, 17 steals were swiped, a similar total from their previous game at Dixon 1 week ago.

“We tried to go hard on our

Star of the game: Taylor Hoefler, Rock Falls, 11 points, 2 steals, 2 blocks Key performers: Abbee Sigel, Rock Falls, 13 points, 3 rebounds; Josi Borum, Sterling, 6 points, 4 rebounds; Kenzie Olson, Rock Falls, 6 points, 4 assists, 3 steals; Molly Buck, Rock Falls, 8 rebounds; Kaylee Martin, Sterling, 8 rebounds Up next: Rock Falls at Ottawa, 7:30 Tuesday; Sterling at Morris, 7:30 Friday, Dec. 2 defense,” Rockets junior Taylor Hoefler said. “Our goal was to limit them to below 25, and I think we played real good defense.”

Abbee Sigel scored the Rockets’ first five points before Nadia Poff’s post bucket put the Rockets up by five. Hoefler followed that with a 3-pointer from a Bailey Bickett pass for a 10-2 advantage.

The Rockets continued to run away in the second quarter, when Molly Buck sank both a 2- and a 3-pointer after back-toback steals for a 24-8 lead.

“We got after it tonight on defense,” Rockets coach Eric Wolf said. “On our defensive assignments, we got after it and we rotated. We had a couple of breakdowns, but with the style we play, we’re going to have those here and there. We’ve got a lot of learning and growing up to do, but we’re getting there.”

Sterling’s shooting was icecold as the Warriors made just 6 of 34 shots from the field in the first three quarters before a running-clock fourth quarter.

Hoefler’s third 3 of the night put the Rockets up by 31 late in the third to force the continuous clock. The Golden Warriors made four of six field goal tries in the fourth for its best quarter (nine points) of the game.

TITLE continued on B64

ROCK FALLS – Every basketball practice has free throw sessions, and why not – they are undistracted tosses tried while standing mostly still.

The Dixon Duchesses have their routine, and it was no different at practice the day before Wednesday’s Sauk Valley Shootout finale against Newman.

“We spend at least 10 to 20 minutes of our 2 hours we’re in the gym shooting free throws,” Dixon senior Isabelle Shiaras said. “We needed them.”

The speedy and scrappy

Comets made play really physical, but the Duchesses converted on more than 75 percent of their free throws in a 52-41 win at Tabor Gymnasium.

More than half of the Duchesses’ points came from the free-throw line, as they made 31 of their 41 attempts. Most of Newman’s 25 fouls either came on the shot or in double-bonus situations, as the Comets (0-4) were quicker than usual at getting to the ball on defense.

Even on offense, the Comets tried to use their wealth of speed to their advantage; however, most of their 25 turnovers came while playing a tad bit more rushed than they would have liked.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL | CLASS 1A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP | FORRESTON VS. DECATUR ST. TERESA

Line play will decide 1A title game Forreston will need to control St. Teresa’s star running back

BY ANDY COLBERT Shaw Media

It will be Forreston’s stout defense against Decatur St. Teresa’s star running back Jacardia Wright today in the 1A state title football game.

Just a sophomore, the 6-foot, 205-pound Wright is one of the state’s top recruits, has gained 2,485 yards on 222 carries, and has 43 touchdowns.

He has attracted the attention of several D-I schools, including Notre Dame, and has already been offered a Robin Kerchner/ Special to Shaw Media scholarship by Iowa.

Forreston players hold their helmets in the air to celebrate “He’s the game-breaker for following a semifinal win over Ottawa Marquette. us and what makes us go,” St.

Sports inside

Teresa coach Mark Ramsey said. “He can bust one at any time and can catch out of the backfield.”

According a college scouting report, Wright has speed, strength and vision unique for his age. He has an ability to find running lanes, plant his foot, cut hard, and burst into the open space.

“He’s not afraid to be physical and initiate contact,” Ramsey said. “He’s a special talent.”

Wright was injured early in St. Teresa’s only loss of the season, 33-14 to Tuscola. He’s still not 100 percent, but close

to it. St. Teresa, which beat 3A power Tolono Unity 27-0 in its season opener, had been ranked a consensus No. 1 in the state before that loss.

“In that game, we had two key injuries,” Ramsey said.

“We let our emotions [penalties] take over, and it was disappointing.”

Like Forreston, St. Teresa was whistled for numerous unsportsmanlike penalties last week. Also like Forreston, the Bulldogs jumped off to a fast start and only threw three passes.

Forreston looking for ways to stop dual-threat QB LINE

CONTINUED FROM B1 t “They have a dualthreat offense,” said Forreston defensive coordinator Kyle Zick, comparing them to Stark County. “They like to run first, but have very talented receivers. They have a lefty quarterback that throws hard with great location.”

Quarterback Ryan Fyke helps open up the running game for Wright with his throwing and running ability.

Ramsey is in his first year at St. Teresa, but has plenty of coaching experience at Moweaqua A & M, where he compiled a 179-63 record in 21 years. His teams won one state title and had four runner-up finishes.

“I got called for this job and had to assemble a staff. There aren’t many coaches in the building here,” Ramsey said.

Ramsey knows he will have his hands full against Forreston, considered the undisputed top team in 1A. “We’ve got make plays up front,” he said. “Forreston is so tough on both sides of the ball. They’ll lull you to sleep and pass over the top. They get fresh guys in all the time.”

Known as one of the fastest, if not the fastest team in 1A, Forreston may have a peer in St. Teresa.

“We’ve got good speed as well,” Ramsey said. “Hopefully we can match Forreston in intensity. Their defense is all over the place, and the secondary rolls down on you.”

Diduch is in his ninth year at the helm in Forreston and became the school’s winningest coach with 74 after the Ottawa Marquette game.

“Line play will be the key,” he said. “Both teams have dominated games early. It will be huge whoever controls the first half and first quarter.”

Matthew Stafford led another crucial drive late in the fourth quarter, and Matt Prater’s kicking again helped Detroit to a tight victory over Minnesota at Ford Field.

For the second time this month, the Lions edged the Vikings. This time, they didn’t need overtime.

Prater’s 40-yard field goal on the final play gave Detroit a 16-13 victory Thursday, moving the Lions a game ahead of Minnesota atop the NFC North. Darius Slay intercepted Sam Bradford’s pass with 30 seconds remaining to set up the winning kick.

Illini can’t handle Mountaineers Spartans spanked by Baylor; Cornhuskers win By the Associated Press

Illinois coach John Groce stood behind the podium and offered a bit of analysis.

And an understatement.

“They’re really good,” Groce said a few minutes after No. 19 West Virginia’s 89-57 victory over Illinois on Thursday in the first round of the NIT Season Tip-Off at the Barclays Center.

Nathan Adrian had 13 points and eight rebounds for the Mountaineers (4-0), and Jevon Carter added 10 points, six rebounds, six steals and five assists.

“Those two guys are special kind of guys,” West Virginia coach Bob Huggins said.

They will face Temple in the title game Friday.

The Owls beat No. 25 Florida State 89-86.

Esa Ahmad and Elijah Macon each had nine points, and Teyvon Myers and Daxter Miles Jr. added eight each.

THURSDAY’S SCOREBOARD NFL

AP

Dwyane Wade (3), Taj Gibson (22) and the rest of the Bulls are starting to find team chemistry during a long road trip.

Road to improvement Bulls learn about themselves during long trip CHRIS KUC Chicago Tribune

Teammates learn things about one another during long trips that have them gallivanting across the country, including who the go-to guys are on the court or in a locked room with no obvious way out.

The Bulls ‘ six-game trip that will end against the 76ers tonight in Philadelphia has been a learning experience for teammates still learning about each other after massive turnover to the roster from a year ago.

The biggest lesson has been the presence of a team chemistry that was so lacking during last season when rifts in the locker room and on the court derailed a team that seemed loaded with potential.

Jimmy Butler, who was smack in the middle of that dysfunctional group, knows one thing about the current group.

“How together we are, man,” Butler said. “We win, we lose, but it’s together. Everybody is going to smile tomorrow because we’re fortunate and we’re blessed to play this game and to be around one another. I’ve learned that everybody in here is in high spirits and that’s what we need.”

A team bonding outing Monday night was beneficial. That’s when the Bulls visited the Denver Escape Room, where groups of people are locked in a room and must use brainpower and teamwork to determine a way out before time runs out and they are released.

Newcomers to the organization such as 12-time NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade are fitting in well, and the guard has his own observation.

“Everybody in this organization wants to win,” Wade said. “I know you could say every organization wants to win, every player wants to win, but it’s about the work you put in. It’s about the attention to detail. Guys have been doing that. … And not having egos when a guy says something to help correct you, etc. It’s a team that’s really focused on winning.”

What has coach Fred Hoiberg learned about his team that is 3-2 on the trip and 9-6 overall?

“I like the resiliency our guys have shown, especially after that tough loss against the Clippers [on Saturday night] to bounce back with the next night against the Lakers,” Hoiberg said. “[Also] … the chemistry

these guys have shown. … These guys have really bought into the chemistry piece, and I think that’s the reason we’ve had some success early on.”

For sure, there are things the Bulls must work on – figuring out what to do with a group of bench players that tends to throw kerosene on a fire would be a start – but even tough losses like their 110-107 setback against the Nuggets on Tuesday night are thought of as building blocks for success later in the season rather than disheartening defeats.

“We’ve been disappointed with six losses and … that’s what you’re supposed to be,” Wade said. “But we’re all together in our losses.

There is no pointing of fingers. Individually, you’re going to be hard on yourself for what you could have done better. … This is a group that enjoys playing together, and when you do that, you can lose together just as well as you win together.

“We’ll be fine. We’ll bounce back. We still have a chance to end this road trip successfully.

We’re going to Philly and try try come out of this road trip 4-2.”

Duchesses able to get off to strong start SWISH

CONTINUED FROM B1 t

Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Sterling’s Grace Gould (left) and Rock Falls’ Kenzie Olson (center) and Molly Buck scramble for a loose ball during the first quarter of Wednesday night’s game in Rock Falls.

Sterling post players show improvement TITLE

CONTINUED FROM B1 t Needless to say, it was a frustrating night for the Golden Warriors, and coach Taylor Jackson didn’t have much positive messages for her team afterward.

“We’re talking a lot right now about our pride,” Jackson said. “Where is it when we step out against a team that is talented?

When I look at our group of girls, I think we can compete with just about anybody. It’s getting them to believe it right now.

“It’s going to be tough, but we’re probably at an important crossroads here. We’re going to see how everybody responds.”

Josi Borum led Sterling with six points, all

in the first half, and Kaylee Martin led with eight rebounds. Jackson did come away with the confidence of knowing her post players, such as Martin, have improved over the course of the tournament.

“Our post play has turned up a lot,” said Jackson, a post player herself for the Golden Warriors in the early 2000s. “I really challenge our post players to rebound and fight for position, and I think they did that really well. We’ve got to finish around the hoop. That’s going to be something that we need to continue to work on each and every day in practice.”

During the running clock, Wolf ran formations with 6-foot post Kenzie Olson at point guard. Olson sank both of her 3-point tries, which

drew loud reactions from the Tabor Gym crowd.

Wolf knew she had it all along.

“It surprised a lot of people, but she’s versatile,” Wolf said. “She can go down low, and she can step outside. She makes her team even more of a threat. I know the fans were surprised, but I know our bench wasn’t, since we do it in practice.”

Sigel led the Rockets with 13 points, while Hoefler was also in double figures with 11.

“We have more confidence this year,” Sigel said. “We have our confidence built up and are ready to get a better record. It’s been 9 years, but it’s great to get it. In past years we’ve struggled, but to get the win this year, and starting out 4-0, it’s great.”

“We have a lot of speed this year,” Newman senior Mady Ferris said. “Today was kind of a taste to see what we have. It’s tiring, but it’s good for us. It’s fun to play in.”

Dixon (2-2) led 8-4 after the first 4 minutes before a Britney Pitzer 3-pointer gave the Duchesses an 11-4 lead with 3:36 to go. The Duchesses led 23-18 at half, but only shot four field goals in the second half. Shiaras had three of the shots, and Pitzer had the other. The rest of Dixon’s points were on free throws.

“We came out strong in the first half,” Shiaras said. “In the beginning of this tournament, we kind of got anxious and nervous and threw the ball away in our games, but tonight we came out hard and strong.”

Ferris had three steals in the first 90 seconds of the second half, but was benched after picking up her third foul on a blocking call not long after. Dixon outscored the Comets 12-6 in the third quarter, and by the end of it they had frustrated Newman for 20 turnovers.

“We scrapped and fought just enough to where we wanted to be,” Dixon coach Luke Ravlin said. “I’m proud of this group. They’ve grown throughout the course of this tournament, and we’ll keep working and keep getting better.”

Shiaras led the Duchesses with 15 points, going 6 of 11 from the field, and Kira Goral made 10 of 14 free throws for the bulk of her 12 points.

BELOW: Newman’s Mady Ferris (center) passes the ball to a teammate while Ferris is surrounded

by Dixon players Wednesday night at Rock Falls.

Mary Jensen and Madison Craft each led the Comets with 8 points.

Despite his team going winless in the tournament, Comets coach Brandon Kreczmer could see positives coming from a tough fourgame stretch, especially from his guards while attacking into the lane.

“When they drew the

defense, they were dropping down to the post,” Kreczmer said. “We finally started executing our offense, which was nice. The first couple of games, we were just dribbling out on the 3-point line, but when we attack, we have the guards that can get in there and get it to the posts that can finish it.”

Optimism can lead to letdown

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Letitia Landon, a 19th-century English poet and novelist, wrote, “How disappointment tracks the steps of hope.”

All bridge players have had to suffer disappointing results.

But in some cases, the loss was self-inflicted, declarer being unduly optimistic and running into an unfavorable distribution of the cards, one that would not have been fatal to the contract if he had played more carefully.

In today’s deal, South is in five clubs. What should he do after West leads the heart queen, taken by dummy’s king? As a secondary issue, how would three no-trump have fared?

An inexperienced player would have bid three notrump with that North hand

and been very disappointed when West knew enough to duck the first round of clubs and restrict declarer to a pair of club tricks. If South has seven winners, as his preempt at unfavorable vulnera-

bility suggests, North has the four tricks that justify leaping to five clubs.

Declarer should see that he has three potential losers in his hand: one spade, one heart and one club. He has only 10 top tricks: two hearts, two diamonds and six clubs.

An optimist would run the club nine at trick two. However, if West is in midseason form, he will take the trick and return a trump to kill the contract.

South must ruff his heart loser on the board. He should cash the heart ace, then exit with a spade to open up a communication line to his hand.

East does best to take the trick and shift to his trump, but declarer wins with his ace, trumps his last heart, ruffs a spade in hand and sets about drawing trumps. © 2016 UFS
