DIXON

Prison gets $1.1M for roof Work to involve five buildings STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 591

DIXON – The state plans to spend $1.1 million for a roofing project at the Dixon prison, officials announced Thursday. According to a state news release, the project will involve roofing 103,900 square feet, which will cover five buildings. The roofs will go on four inmate housing units and the building that houses the library, law library, sewing room, auditorium, chapel, and some classrooms. “This construction project will address critical maintenance issues at this key Department of

Corrections facility,” Gov. Pat Quinn said in a statement. “It will also employ a number of construction workers, which will help the local economy as well.” State Rep. Tom Demmer, R-Dixon, said the prison is a major local employer and plays a big role in the public safety system. “This capital investment helps to ensure it will be an efficient, viable facility for years to come,” he said in a statement. Path Construction Co. of Arlington Heights was the lowest of four bidders. The project will be managed by the state Capital Development Board. The project is expected to be completed in 6 months.

HAUNTED MAZE OPEN IN ROCK FALLS

Most counties in this region are providing more information on their websites, but they’re still failing a nonprofit group’s test for transparency. Lee County saw the greatest improvement from its audit last year – 21 out of 100 points to 48.1. Whiteside County, meanwhile, jumped by a point to 27.4. Carroll increased from 32.7 to 49.1, while Ogle went up from 23.8 to 31.7. Bureau County’s limited website stayed at 8.5. For the last couple of years, the Illinois Policy Institute, a Chicago-based conservative think tank, has rated counties’ transparency. In the latest audit, the best-performing counties were typically those with higher populations. Only one county got 100 – suburban Kane County. Cook County received a 65.2. IMPROVING CONTINUED ON A4

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Little about Thursday’s Honor Flight taken by dozens of area veterans was routine. The flight from the Quad Cities to the nation’s capital was delayed by 2 1/2 hours after the plane struck an owl on its way to the airport. The federal government shutdown and resulting closures of war memorials also didn’t deter the veterans from visiting the monuments erected in their honor. And their tour was not deterred by the incident that led to a lockdown of the Capitol. In the end, the veterans flew to and from the capital safely. Meet the area veterans, and read about their trip, in Saturday’s edition of SV Weekend.

Libertarians taste success, want more Views helping drive GOP initiatives to defund Obamacare -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

CHANTILLY, Va. – Libertarians see the political mainstream inching closer to their points of view. They see growing signs of their influence. Former Rep. Ron Paul of Texas, an icon to the movement who sought the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, finished a strong third in the Iowa caucuses and was runner-up in the New Hampshire primary. His son, Rand, a U.S. senator from Kentucky, has visited early presidential primary and caucus states and is regarded as a potential 2016 candidate. Libertarian views are helping drive Republican initiatives to defund Obamacare, keep the U.S. military out of Syria and implement big cuts in food stamps. “We’re on the cusp of going mainstream,� said Matt DeVries, chairman of Liberty Iowa, headquartered in the nation’s first presidential caucus state. Libertarians oppose government across the ideological and party

Paul has visited early presidential primary and caucus states and is regarded as a potential 2016 candidate. spectrum, including regulation of abortion, guns, marijuana, and marriage, and most military interventions. But the movement’s limits also remain evident. At a recent gathering of libertarians in this Washington suburb, activists showed little taste for compromise, eagerly cheering the idea of a government shutdown that polls say most Americans don’t want.

And while Ron Paul remains a beloved figure, some of his views remain highly controversial. There’s also the organization problem. By its nature, a coalition of people espousing the power of the individual is not one easily organized. And the libertarian movement still tends to be a collection of causes that are not all an easy fit into the political mainstream.

Shem Kellogg, for instance, a civil engineer from Plaistow, N.H., is with the Free State Project. Its goal: To relocate activists to New Hampshire, thereby increasing libertarians’ political clout in that state. It advertises a “large home schooling community, no sales tax, no state income tax, large & active liberty community, seatbelt and helmet freedom,� among other lures.

SAN FRANCISCO

IN BRIEF

California man charged in black market drug scheme

Registration open, but no permits yet

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – FBI agents found him in the science fiction section of a small branch of the San Francisco public library, chatting online. The man known as Dread Pirate Roberts – 29-year-old Ross William Ulbricht – was on his personal laptop Tuesday afternoon, authorities said, talking about the vast black market bazaar that is believed to have brokered more than $1 billion in transactions for illegal drugs and services. When a half-dozen FBI agents burst into the library in a quiet, bluecollar neighborhood,

they abruptly ended Ulbricht’s conversation with a cooperating witness, pinned the Austin, Texas, native to a floorto-ceiling window and then took him off to jail, law enforcement and library spokeswomen said. Ulbricht was later charged in criminal complaints in federal courts in New York and Maryland. He’s accused of making millions of dollars operating the secret Silk Road website and of a failed murder-for-hire scheme, all while living anonymously with two roommates whom he paid $1,000 to rent a room in a modest neighborhood.

Federal authorities shut down the website. Ulbricht has not entered pleas to any of his charges. His federal public defender in San Francisco declined to comment Wednesday. Ulbricht is due back in San Francisco federal court Friday morning to discuss bail and his transfer to New York, where the bulk of the charges have been filed. He is charged in New York with being the mastermind of Silk Road, where users could browse anonymously through nearly 13,000 listings under categories like “Cannabis,� “Psychedelics� and “Stimulants.�

Marc Hyden’s Brooklyn, N.Y.-based activist group, Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, is devoted to raising serious questions about the death penalty. “Some of us believe that the death penalty contradicts our values about protecting life,� the group explains. Lois Kaneshiki of Altoona, Pa., would like Washington to leave the education system alone. Dr. Steven Kreisman, a Charlotte, N.C., physician, wishes America would heed the objectivist teachings of Ayn Rand. Some issues do bring everyone together. One is guns. The Senate earlier this year was unable to cut off debate on a measure to strengthen background checks, and even in the wake of the mass murder at Washington’s Navy Yard, just a few blocks from the Capitol, leaders concede they don’t have the votes to pass legislation. That’s a big win for liberty and the Constitution, say gun rights activists, and they remind each other the next fight is nigh: The battle against making it more difficult for people with mental health issues to obtain guns.

TAMPICO

Old school to become village hall, police station School district plans to transfer building ownership to village BY MATT MENCARINI MMENCARINI SAUKVALLEY COM EXT

TAMPICO – A Tampico school building that sits on the property where former President Ronald Reagan attended school soon will be the town’s village hall and police station. Ownership of the building, 202 W. Second St., will transfer from the Prophetstown-LyndonTampico school district to the village of Tampico,

during a key-passing ceremony at 2:30 p.m. today. It will be an intergovernmental transfer, and Tampico will give the school district $5,000 for some equipment, including kitchen appliances and air conditioning, that it isn’t keeping, Tampico Mayor Kristine Hill said. The village has been working on the transfer for a while, she added, and is planning to move its administrative offices and police station to the former school building. There’s “no definitive timeline� for that move, and the village will decide what to do with its current

ment over there,� she said, adding that there’s potential for a day care or after-school program to be added. Joan Johnson, the president of Tampico Area Historical Society, said the property has been home to two school buildings. The first was a two-story wood building that was built in the early 1900s, near the “advent of town,� she said. In the 1930s, a one-story brick structure was built, which had a second story, gymnasium, and kitchen added in the 1950s, Johnson said, adding that the site of the old school, where Reagan attended,

became the playground. After the transfer, the village wants to expedite the move, Hill said. They have been making plans, but Hill said it’s difficult to apply for grants or make too many plans until the village officially controls the building. Students already have been moved to the new elementary school, which opened last year and was home to middle school students. The middle school students have since moved to Prophetstown High School, which was converted to a regional school for sixth through 12th grades.

IN BRIEF

Quarry theft charges filed

Fundraiser set for Sterling woman

Official says not all property has been recovered BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM EXT

OREGON – Two Rockford men are accused of stealing hundreds of pounds of wire and tools and damaging machinery at six Ogle County quarries, in addition to quarries in Boone and Winnebago counties. Andrew A. Garkey, 27, and Cecil C. Sexton, 26, were arrested Sept. 22 after a truck they were driving was pulled over by detectives, a news release from the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department said. Upon searching the truck, detectives found it

contained several rolls of barbed wire, fence posts and other items that had been reported as stolen from a farm on the Ogle-Winnebago County line earlier that day, the release said. Additionally, Sexton’s home in Rockford was searched as well as several storage sheds in Winnebago County, inside of which authorities found items that appeared to have been stolen from all three counties, the release said. Ogle County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Mike Schabacker said the thefts have been occurring

in Ogle County since the last week of June. The total cost incurred, including property damage, is more than $40,000, he said. Not all of the stolen property was recovered, Schabacker said. Garkey and Sexton are in the Winnebago County Jail on $75,000 bond, where they are both charged with felony theft. In Ogle County, they are each charged with two counts of burglary and three counts of felony theft. Garkey is on probation for a 2012 Ogle County felony theft conviction involving scrap metal.

ILLINOIS PENSIONS

No deal as veto session nears Panel not sure if plan will be ready for lawmakers SPRINGFIELD (AP) – As the Illinois Legislature prepares to reconvene this month, key Democrats tasked with helping solve the state’s crippling public pension problem are pushing a plan that would save $138 billion over 30 years, but also warning that continued partisan squabbling could scuttle any deal. Senate President John Cullerton has thrown his support behind the plan, which would save considerably more than a previous Senate proposal but still offer a compromise to state employees that could help it pass legal muster. He and House Speaker Michael Madigan were recently briefed on the plan’s details after it was hashed out behind closed doors. House Republicans, though, have made additional demands, including raising the retirement age for state workers from 55 and giving retirees the option of moving to a 401k-style plan in which workers have more control over how their money is invested and the state isn’t on

The annual contribution to the fund, plus payments on past pension bonds, is about $7.65 billion this year. That takes crucial money away from schools and social services, and will only increase in years to come if without legislative action. The bipartisan com-

mittee has been working on a solution since the Legislature adjourned in May without agreeing on a compromise. At that time, the Senate and House backed different plans. The Senate plan would have saved $58 billion over 30 years and let employees choose which retirement benefits they wanted – an element Cullerton described as necessary to withstand a court challenge. The House plan would have saved $163 billion by reducing cost-of-living increases, raising the retirement age and increasing employee contributions. The still-evolving $138.9 million plan includes reducing 3 percent annual compounded costof-living adjustments in retirement benefits to half of the rate of inflation. But it also would reduce employee contributions by one percent – a concession to state employees for other sacrifices. Cullerton first announced his support of the plan to the (Springfield) State Journal-Registrar Wednesday. He told The Associated Press on Thursday that he thinks the current proposal is “less unconstitutional� than the House plan because of the considerations it makes for state employees.

‘There are lessons to be Burger garnished with communion wafer learned from Dixon’s Restaurant says example,’ report says reaction has been ‘a mixed bag’

CHICAGO (AP) – A Chicago restaurant has cooked up a controversial burger of the month for October, garnishing it with an unconsecrated communion wafer and a red wine reduction sauce. Kuma’s Corner, a foodie destination with just a few tables, names its hamburgers after heavy metal bands. For October, the restaurant chose to name the burger after the Swedish band Ghost. Members of the band dress in religious robes and wear skeleton face makeup. It’s in poor taste, said Jeff Young of New Orleans, who runs the blog Catholic Foodie. “It’s not, for us, the Eucharist,� Young said. “However this wafer is a symbol. There’s a cross on it. It’s like taking a flag and burning a flag.� Luke Tobias, Kuma’s Corner director of operations, said the restaurant never wanted to offend anyone. He said reaction has been a “mixed bag,� but more positive than negative. “There are people who are offended by it, but we’re delighted to see

The restaurant, which often plays loud heavy metal music, is a fan of Ghost, Tobias said.

Young said he realizes that and knows Kuma’s Corner didn’t intentionally want to make anyone mad. “The Ghost� burger is selling well, Tobias said,

because customers are curious about it. “Hopefully people will have a good time with it – that’s certainly what we’re trying to do,� Tobias said.

The audit looks for such things as contact information for elected officials, annual budgets, employees’ salaries, audits, expenditures, and contracts. Lee County Board Chairman Rick Ketchum, D-Amboy, credited his county’s improvement to its information technology employee, Mike McBride. “When he has time, he updates the site,� Ketchum said. “He’s a oneman department, so he’s overwhelmed. He hasn’t been able to do all the updates because of time. We’ll never be at 100 percent. That’s for sure. Not that we don’t want to.� If a county is smaller, he said, it’s likelier that it’ll have a lower rating. Brian Costin of the Illinois Policy Institute, the author of the transparency report, said a county’s size should make no difference. A lot of the information, he said, only needs to be posted online once per year. “Someone can sit down once a year and take the

time to put that information online within a day,� he said. “We’re not asking them to create documents.� Transparency, Costin said, saves money because public bodies don’t have to go through the expense and time of copying documents. Also, he said, it helps combat corruption. The report uses Dixon as an example, saying that if the city had posted more of its information online, Rita Crundwell’s corruption might have been stopped. “Clearly, there are lessons to be learned from Dixon’s example,� the report says. “The most important lesson is that local governments shouldn’t wait for a corruption scandal to hit to learn the advantages of online transparency.� On April 17, 2012, Crundwell, the city’s former comptroller, was arrested for stealing nearly $54 million. Days later, the policy institute graded Dixon’s website, which got a 16.7 out of 100. But the city worked with the institute to improve the site. In December, the city got a 79.6.

DIXON | THE CRUNDWELL AFTERMATH

Town hall planned on money from settlement Feedback sought by city on how to spend the funds STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com EXT

DIXON – Have ideas on how the city should spend $40 million it is expecting to receive

as a result of the Rita Crundwell scandal? You’ll get your chance to make your suggestions public. The city announced that it would hold a town hall on the subject at 6 p.m. Thursday in the basement at Loveland Community House, 513 W. Second St. Last week, the city

reached a $40 million out-of-court settlement with its former auditors and bank, which local officials blamed for allowing Crundwell, Dixon’s former comptroller, to steal nearly $54 million over more than 2 decades. The city will get another $10 million, which is expected from the federal

government from the sale of Crundwell’s assets. About $10.3 million of the settlement will go toward legal fees. At the town hall, Mayor Jim Burke will make the opening remarks. Police Chief Danny Langloss, who temporarily is the special assistant to the City Council, will then review organizational

changes at City Hall and present the city’s new financial controls. Finance Director Paula Meyer will present financials and talk about the city’s debt, including bonds and other obligations. Meyer said last week that she would like to pay down the city’s debt and address deferred maintenance

projects throughout the city. The public will then be given a chance to ask questions and make suggestions. “The bottom-line criteria for the council is to make decisions based on what is in the best interest of the taxpayers,� the mayor said in a statement.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Joe Heller, Heller Syndicate

Exciting times ahead for fans of NIU football What we think After a 4-0 start, the Northern Illinois University football team has already made history. The Huskies’ exciting style of play continues to attract attention. Area sports fans should climb on the bandwagon.

W

ith its lopsided defeat of Purdue Saturday, Northern Illinois University’s 4-0 football team made history. NIU is the first MidAmerican Conference team to defeat two Big 10 teams (Iowa is the other) in the same year. That’s quite an accomplishment. With backto-back MAC championships under its belt, capped by an Orange Bowl appearance last season, NIU football really seems to have come into its own. Yet, fans (current and prospective) should not be lulled into the belief that this team will automatically crank out victory after victory like a well-oiled machine. In their first three games, the Huskies trailed at various points, and their margins of victory were close (30-27 over Iowa, 45-35 over Idaho, 43-39 over Eastern

Illinois University). Even after its 55-24 trouncing of Purdue, NIU is still giving up an average of 31 points a game, while scoring an average of 43. Defensive purists may cringe, but fans who love lots of scoring should get their fill – and then some. NIU opens the defense of its MAC title with an away game Saturday at Kent State. Of the next seven games, four will be in DeKalb (Akron, 4 p.m. Oct. 12; Eastern Michigan, 2:30 p.m. Oct. 26; Ball State, 7 p.m. Nov. 13; and Western Michigan, 6 p.m. Nov. 26). And DeKalb is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the Sauk Valley. OK, actually it’s in the range of 40 to 50 miles or so, depending on where you live, but those miles pass quickly on the tollway. Why not pick a game, get some tickets, and head for Huskie Stadium? Go, Huskies!

CAPITOL COMMENTS

Cullerton backs pension reform Compromise plan to save $138 billion over 30 years Illinois Senate President John Cullerton said Wednesday he’s working to build support for a compromise pension reform plan that would save $138 billion over 30 years. “There’s a compromise that we’re talking about right now,� Cullerton told the editorial board of The State Journal-Register. But he said that while the legislative pension reform committee worked to develop and evaluate the plan, that group has yet to reach agreement. The Chicago Democrat said he supports the plan, adding that he hopes it can be acted on during the veto session scheduled to begin Oct. 22. Elements of the compromise include having what is now a 3 percent compounded cost-ofliving adjustment added to pension payments

changed to half of the Consumer Price Index. Cullerton said the COLA couldn’t drop below 1 percent. “It has a ceiling of 4 percent,� he added, “which is important because if there is inflation, there could be an actual opportunity for people to ... get more than they’re getting now.� Estimates are that the proposal would have state pension funds fully funded by 2043. The proposal would also decrease active employee contributions by 1 percentage point. “It’s not that much money in the big picture in terms of the savings,� Cullerton said of that drop in employee contributions. The combination of

reduced employee contributions and “inflation protection� afforded by allowing the COLA to potentially rise to 4 percent, Cullerton said, could solidify the argument that the plan meets requirements of the state constitution, which doesn’t allow pension benefits to be diminished.

@,ESS UNCONSTITUTIONAL During the spring legislative session, Cullerton had backed a plan, Senate Bill 2404, that he says would save $58 billion over 30 Senate years and President would have John p r o v i d e d Cullerton such “consideration� by requiring active and retired public workers to choose among options for raises and health insurance. Cullerton said Wednesday that Senate Bill 1, which passed the House but got only 16 votes in the Senate, “had none of that.� He said that proposal, which was

backed by House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, would have saved $163 billion over 30 years. The proposal now on the table, he said, is “less unconstitutional than Senate Bill 1.� Cullerton said he expects unions, who had agreed to SB 2404, to oppose the hybrid plan now on the table, and added that it could end up challenged in court. “That’s fine with me, because if it were to pass and be ruled unconstitutional, we go right back to the bill we passed that the unions supported, tweak it some more, get some more savings – that’s my opinion – and then pass that.� The proposal would need 30 votes this fall to take effect July 1.

OUNT MORRIS – With a Polo phone number, location near Oregon, and a Mount Morris address, White Pines State Forest is entrenched firmly in the Sauk Valley. But this is not a park with an identity crisis; it is a place where a rustic lodge and the wide-open outdoors make a getaway for visitors and area residents alike. Several levels of adventure await travelers to the park. The “rugged,� outside type can take advantage of the hiking paths and the camping. There are seven trails, three of which are less than a mile long. The trail difficulty ranges from easy walking to more strenuous. A nature trail also is accessible to wheelchairs. Youth group campgrounds and individual camping sites are available for those who would like to spend a night. The individual camping rate is $10 per day. The sites have a picnic table and a fire ring. Picnicking is a favorite pastime at the park. Shelters are available, two of which can be reserved. Picnic areas have fireplaces, tables, playgrounds, and water. All visitors have to do is look for a spot that suits them. Travelers who prefer a more

the park still can be enjoyed through something unusual – fords. Pine Creek wanders through the White Pines creating a dilemma. How does anyone get from one point to the other without getting wet? The answer is the fords. Gone are the days when foot traffic crossed beside the cars. Now vehicles, one at a time, drive slowly across the creek at more than one location. The short crossing gives the sensation of being in a boat. The fords are closed when conditions are not safe, so proceed with caution and no fear.

Parents weighed down by kids’ homework Dear Abby: My kids attend a private school that has made it a goal to be a “blue ribbon� school. To that end, teachers pile on so much homework that many of the parents send kids to bed after 3 hours and finish it ourselves. Our kids are completely overwhelmed with senseless piles of busywork. This summer, our children had to read four substantial books and complete hefty vocabulary packets and math packets that required most of us parents to hire tutors. Our children are stressed, anxious and depressed. We have never indulged them with a lot of video game or TV time. I have considered pulling my kids out of this school, but the public schools around here are awful. Parents are miserable. Kids are miserable. We want them to have a decent education, but we also want them to be happy people – and right now, no one is happy. – Pressured Mom of Pressured Kids Dear Pressured: Are you aware that some educators

believe students should have no summer vacation at all, and should be in class year-round? The assignments your children were given may have been designed to keep their skills sharp so they would be prepared for the fall term. Because you and other parents believe your children are being overburdened with busywork, it’s time to address this as a group with the principal so you can voice your concerns and get an explanation. Dear Abby: My 12-yearold grandson lies often. His parents are trying to give him consequences for his lying as a “team effort.� I don’t want to be the stern grandma and have him have bad memories of me. When he lies

to me, should I look the other way and ignore it or follow through with my own consequences? – Grandma in St. Pete, Fla. Dear Grandma: Would you prefer your grandson remember you as the grandmother whose eye he could spit in, tell her it’s raining, and she would accept it? It would be better to ask him why he feels it is necessary to lie to someone who loves him; tell him that you expect honesty from him and if you don’t receive it there will be more consequences. Remember, you are also a part of the team, and this is an important life lesson he needs to learn. Dear Abby: My only son is 18. He didn’t attend his prom. He quit school and goes to night school instead. I’ll never see him in a cap and gown, holding his diploma. On top of that, he told me 6 months ago he’s bisexual and that he has a boyfriend in the U.K. I’m having a hard time with all of this. I taught my son to love and respect everyone, regardless of race, religion,

or sexual orientation. Now I’m afraid I won’t have any grandchildren. Even more upsetting, he wants to move to the U.K. to be with his 26-year-old boyfriend. I feel so cheated – no prom, no graduation, no grandchildren! I’m scared and I cry every day. How do I accept him being him? – Cheated in Connecticut Dear Cheated: OK, so reality isn’t in sync with your fantasy about how your son would turn out. But why are you dwelling on the negative? Your son is completing his high school education, and with his GED could very well go on to college or a technical school. While he didn’t attend his prom, he has found a meaningful relationship. He may eventually give you the grandchildren you long for – other samesex couples have done it. So look on the bright side. If you count your blessings, encourage him and accept the man he loves, you could have a life of adventure and international travel, a warm relationship with both of them, and gain a son.

BEHIND THE LENS

Princeton photographer loves nature

tles, and seven species along one trail at Green River State Wildlife Area. The beetles appeared to be in the same habitat, but that didn’t make ecological or evolutionary sense, he said. “Seven different species with all interlocking habitats? That’s the unusual thing. When I got down on my hands and knees, they were different habitats.

They just don’t look like it to us. We’re not a tiger beetle. What do we know?� Nature hiking with Todd is maddeningly slow. “I walk so slow I drive everybody nuts that I’m with,� he said. “They’re back, they’re ready to go to lunch, and Dick has gone only 10 or 15 feet.� Todd was born in Washington, D.C. He and his wife of 31 years, Nancy, live in rural Princeton. Todd worked 21 years as a maintenance mechanic at Illinois Institute of Technology, retiring 3 years ago. He mastered the art of tinkering. “I found out yesterday that if I pop up my little flash and I take the lens hood off I can do closeups and get the flash to hit my subject.� He learned from another photographer that a Pringles can will cannonball a flash to a small subject. At home, Todd shoots close-ups in a studio, capturing tiny live creatures in the right light and position, even underwater. He once made a flash bracket for his own needs but had to make more to meet demand from others. “I’m really a gadgeteer,� Todd said. His mechanical inclinations spill into an interest in restoring old cars. He also volunteered to repair a fence at Amboy Marsh, acquired earlier this year by Illinois Audubon Society. Deb Carey, project manager of the site, said she first met Todd this spring when Audubon acquired the Amboy tract. “I’m amazed by his photographs,� Carey said. “He’s just such a neat guy.�

PRINCETON (AP) – Laying face down in a prairie is how Dick Todd makes a living. Todd puts the bug into shutterbug. The nature photographer from Princeton will photograph most any subject but prefers small creatures he can enlarge into sharp focus with his lens work. Todd, 70, began studying nature and shooting photos as a child. “I spent all my time in the swamp,� he said. “People in high school, grade school used to call me ‘nature boy.’ They used to tease me a lot. I didn’t date. Extremely shy with women. I didn’t get married until I was 40. You’re not going to find anybody in the swamps.� At about age 12, Todd received a twin reflex camera. He also possessed “unbelievable curiosity.� “I still have that,� he said. “Willing to try anything. I remember trying to take a picture of the moon with electronic flash. I didn’t understand. But I tried everything.� He placed a magnifying glass in front of his camera to shoot a fossil. Curiosity led to mistakes and breakthroughs. “I was always into experimentation,� he said. Growing up in the Chicago area, he learned about nature photographers John Shaw and Larry West and attended their semi-

ABOVE: In this Sept. 9 photo, Dick Todd, of Princeton, photographs plants at Amboy Marsh Wildlife Sanctuary in Amboy. Todd, a photographer whose work finds buyers among textbooks and children’s nature magazines, spends much of his time on the ground photographing insects. He said he has a pair of modified kneepads that he uses as elbow pads for long days spent horizontally. LEFT: Todd sorts through prints he’s made, with subjects as wide-ranging as butterfly eggs, spider webs covered in frost, and aquatic matter difficult to spot with the naked eye. Though he now shoots digitally, he said he only very rarely does anything to the photo in post-production, relying instead on incamera settings to make the photograph perfect. nars in Michigan. “I went and took the first nature photography seminar they ever offered. I went back to their second class. I went back to their advanced class on high magnification stuff.� After one seminar Todd found buyers for his photos. “Basically my photography after taking that one

class improved from OK to potentially really good stuff,� Todd said. “Something clicked.� His first sales included a photo showing Christine Falls in Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington state and a close-up of a tiger beetle. Tiger beetles are popular with biologists and photographers because of their coolness factor. There

are 100 different kinds in the United States. “They are indicators of high biodiversity,� Todd said. Todd’s photographic niche requires an ecological education, specialized equipment and high-quality lands to ramble. He finds the best tiger beetle hunting at preserves. At Amboy Marsh he found five species of tiger bee-

GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

Budget, debt unresolved by end of Day 3 Obama tells GOP: ‘You don’t get to demand ransom’ WASHINGTON (AP) – Three days into a government shutdown, President Barack Obama pointedly blamed House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday for keeping federal agencies closed while the bitter budget dispute moved closer to a more critical showdown over the nation’s line of credit. The Treasury warned of calamitous results if Congress

fails to raise the debt limit. Answering Obama, Boehner complained that the president was “steamrolling ahead� with the implementation of the nation’s new health care law. As the government operated sporadically, the stock market sank to its lowest level in nearly a month. The shutdown was clearly leaving its mark. The National Transportation Safety Board wasn’t sending investigators to Tennessee to probe a deadly church bus crash that killed eight people and

sent 14 others to the hospital. The Labor Department said it wouldn’t release the highly anticipated September jobs report on Friday because the government remains shuttered. Despite the heated political rhetoric, some signs of a possible way out of the shutdown emerged. But the state of play remained in flux. Two House Republicans said Boehner told them he would allow a House vote on re-starting the entire government – but only if conservative GOP lawmakers assured him they would

not attack it for failing to contain curbs on the health care law. So far they have been unwillSpeaker John ing to give Boehner that commitment. The two spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal details of private discussions. The shutdown and the approaching debt ceiling were merging into one confrontation, raising the stakes for the president and Congress as well as for the economy.

Obama and his Treasury Department said that failure to raise the nation’s borrowing limit, expected to hit its $16.7 trillion cap in mid-October, could precipitate an economic nosedive worse than the Great Recession. A default could cause the nation’s credit markets to freeze, the value of the dollar to plummet and U.S. interest rates to skyrocket, according to the Treasury report. The speaker’s office reiterated Boehner’s past assertion that he would not let the United States default on its debt.

Conservatives have insisted that either reopening the government or an increase of the debt ceiling must be accompanied by a measure that either delays or defunds the nation’s new health care law. Obama, for his part, firmly restated his opposition to a negotiation. “You don’t get to demand some ransom in exchange for keeping the government running,� he said tartly. “You don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for keeping the economy running.�

Experts report progress in Syria

AP

This view from the Russell Senate Office Building shows police converging on the scene of a shooting on Constitution Avenue on Capitol Hill near the Supreme Court in Washington on Thursday. A police officer was reported injured after gunshots were heard at the U.S. Capitol, police said. They locked down the entire complex.

Police shoot driver outside Capitol Woman involved in car chase had child in back seat WASHINGTON (AP) – A woman driving a black Infiniti with a young child inside tried to ram through a White House barricade Thursday, then led police on a chase toward the Capitol, where police shot and killed her, witnesses and officials said. Tourists watched the shooting unfold on Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol as lawmakers inside debated how to end a government shutdown. Police quickly locked down the entire complex temporarily, and both houses of Congress went into recess.

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, who said he was briefed by the Homeland Security Department, said the woman was killed. Police described it as an isolated event and saw no indications of terrorism. The pursuit began when a car with Connecticut plates sped onto the driveway leading to the White House, over a set of lowered barricades. When she couldn’t get through a second barrier, she spun the car in the opposite direction, flipping a Secret Service officer over the hood of the car as she sped away, said B.J. Campbell, a tourist from Portland, Ore. A fleet of police and Secret Service cars chased the Infiniti toward Capitol Hill. An amateur video

shows the car circling a fountain in front of the Capitol. The driver slows down as police approach, and then speeds away. “The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb,� said Matthew Coursen, who was on his way to a legislative office building when the Infiniti sped by him. “The car got boxed in, and that’s when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car.� Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Terrance Gainer said a child was taken from the car to a hospital but said he knew of no harm to the youngster. Tourist Edmund Ofori-Attah said the child appeared to be about 2 to 3 years old.

BEIRUT (AP) – International inspectors racing to eliminate Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile said Thursday they have made “encouraging initial progress� in their mission, and they hope to start onsite inspections and to begin disabling equipment within a week. An advance team of disarmament experts arrived in Syria on Tuesday to begin laying the foundations for a broader operation charged with dismantling and ultimately destroying President Bashar Assad’s chemical program over the

In ancient times, there seemed to be an intimate connection between words and things, or between names and the persons or things being named. For example, in the Genesis account of creation, God creates by mere divine utterance. He says, “Let there be light,” and there is light. Likewise, when God gives Adam the honor of naming the animals, he is allowing Adam to establish their identity once and for all. Or consider the story in the 27th chapter of Genesis where thinking that Jacob is in fact Esau, Isaac mistakenly gives Esau’s firstborn birthright to Jacob. And, even when Isaac realizes the mistake, and sees that he has been tricked, he cannot simply undo what he has said. The utterance of the blessing is the blessing, in the same way that God’s divine utterance created the world. Continuing in the New Testament, we see this strong connection between words and things. In the prologue to the Gospel of John, we are told that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1.1) In modern times although we have somehow lost this vital connection to our language, we all know that words are doubleedged swords which can heal as well as they can hurt, offering both comfort and solace, as well as pain. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. -R.S.V. Hebrews 4:12

TENNESSEE

Church mourns bus crash that killed 8 14 others hurt, 2 still in critical condition DANDRIDGE, Tenn. (AP) – After the fiery crash of a church bus in Tennessee, Daniel Morrison knew a phone call would be coming. His parents were among a group of seniors from a North Carolina church who had eagerly awaited their big annual outing, a trip to a 3-day festival in Gatlinburg, Tenn., featuring gospel singers and speakers. But on the way back Wednesday to Statesville in North Carolina, the church bus carrying the members blew a tire, veered across a highway median and crashed into a sport utility vehicle and tractortrailer, police said. All told, the wreck on Interstate 40

in northeastern Tennessee killed eight people, leaving the bus on its side next to the tractor-trailer, the wreckage extending across two lanes of traffic and partly into the median. Fourteen others were hurt, two of those in critical condition. When Morrison was told about the crash, he feared the worst. Then a pastor at the Front Street Baptist Church called late at night and broke the devastating news: His parents, Randy and Barbara Morrison, both 66 and married for 50 years, were dead. His father, who had once worked for a trucking company, and his mother, once a school teacher, were now gone. “I’m still processing it,� said Daniel Morrison, one of the couple’s five children, pausing to shake his head. He said both had eagerly

awaited the trip, having devoted so much to their church. “I know the Lord has a reason for everything, but I don’t know what it is yet,� he said. The Tennessee Highway Patrol on Thursday afternoon identified seven of the eight people killed. Six of the dead were members of the Statesville church, including Randy Morrison, who police said was driving the bus, and his wife, Barbara. Other victims from the church are 95-year-old Cloyce Matheny, 69-year-old Brenda Smith, 62-year-old Marsha McLelland and 73-year-old John Wright. All were from Statesville except Wright, from Mocksville, N.C. The Highway Patrol says the bus, once the tire ruptured, crossed the median into oncoming traffic. The tractor-trailer caught fire.

Ship capsizes;114 African migrants die Man extradited to U.S. in suicide bomb plot

Around 200 still unaccounted for ROME (AP) – The rickety fishing boat was the third of the night to head toward the tiny Italian island of Lampedusa, overloaded with African migrants seeking a better life in Europe. Most never reached shore. After the boat started taking on water, someone on board set a fire to get the attention of passing ships. The flames spread and panicked passengers surged to one side to avoid the fire. The vessel capsized, and hundreds of men, women, and children who didn’t know how to swim were flung into the Mediterranean Sea. At least 114 people died, and some 200 were still unaccounted for late Thursday, Italian officials said. “We need only caskets, certainly not ambulances,� said Pietro Bartolo, chief of Lampedusa health services. It was one of the deadliest accidents in the perilous crossing thousands make each year, seeking a new life in the prosperous European Union. Smugglers charge thousands of dollars per head for the journey aboard over-

An Italian Coast Guard boat carries rescued migrants Thursday as they arrive in the port of Lampedusa. A ship carrying African migrants to Europe caught fire and capsized off the Italian island of Lampedusa on Thursday, killing at least 114 people as it spilled hundreds of passengers into the sea, officials said. More than 150 people were rescued, but some 200 others were still unaccounted for. It was one of the deadliest recent accidents in the notoriously perilous Mediterranean Sea crossing from Africa for migrants seeking a new life in the European Union. crowded, barely seaworthy boats that lack life vests. Lampedusa, 70 miles off Tunisia and closer to Africa than the Italian mainland, has been at the center of wave after wave of illegal immigration. “It’s an immense trag-

WASHINGTON (AP) – A member of al-Qaida who allegedly met with Osama bin Laden in 2001 has been extradited to the United States to face charges that he conspired to carry out a suicide bomb attack against Americans in Europe. Nizar Trabelsi, a Tunisian national, was arrested in Belgium on Sept. 13, 2001, 2 days after the Sept. 11 attacks in the U.S. He has spent the past 12 years in custody in Belgium, where he served time on Belgian charges. A federal indictment unsealed Thursday says Trabelsi met in the spring of 2001 with bin Laden to volunteer for a suicide bomb attack against U.S. interests. Trabelsi appeared at a court hearing in Washington late Thursday afternoon, wearing a black T-shirt and black sweatpants with white stripes. Sporting a black beard specked with gray, no mustache and a shaved head, he squinted repeatedly, as if he had just woken up. He plead-

ed not guilty through his public defender and was held without bond. Trabelsi allegedly obtained chemicals in Europe and joined others to scout a potential target – a military facility that was used by the U.S. government and Air Force. At bin Laden’s direction, Trabelsi later spoke with Muhammed Atef, a highranking member and chief military planner of al-Qaeda, the indictment states. Trabelsi also met with others with whom he was to form a cell to carry out a suicide attack. In June 2001, the indictment states, Trabelsi traveled to Pakistan, where he obtained money from an al-Qaeda associate for use in carrying out his mission. Trabelsi, 43, is accused of conspiring to kill U.S nationals outside of the U.S., attempting to use weapons of mass destruction and conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. If convicted of the charges filed in the indictment, Trabelsi faces a maximum sentence of life in prison. Trabelsi will face charges in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia.

WASHINGTON

No jobs report this month; what’s an economist to do? September numbers release postponed because of shutdown WASHINGTON (AP) – The latest victims of the government’s partial shutdown: policy wonks, politicians, and TV talking heads who are losing their monthly opportunity to dissect the jobs report issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The ritual unfolds each month: The jobs report comes out, and Wall Street panics or exults. Political advocates spin. And economic analysts crowd cable TV to offer us their insights. It happens the first Fri-

day of the month at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time. Except this Friday. The government’s partial shutdown means the September jobs report is being postponed. The workers who produce it aren’t deemed “essential,� which is why they’re among the 800,000 federal employees being furloughed. They aren’t doctors treating wounded soldiers at military hospitals or air traffic controllers ensuring that planes take off and land safely. They’re statisticians. Yet for a subculture of Americans whose professional lives are tied to the monthly jobs report, its absence may be disorienting.

“Economists and journalists will have some withdrawal pains,� suggests Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics and a fixture on cable TV gabfests after the jobs reports are released. Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial and another regular television presence on the morning of the jobs reports, jokes that she won’t have to get up so early Friday. Yet she’ll feel the loss. The jobs report is a “flashlight into the dense forest of global economic information,� Swonk said. “We’ve turned the flashlight off.�

Storm changes course Stoppage helps some, hurts some at BNC tourney BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 554

POPLAR GROVE – As the thunder boomed and the lightning flashed, the rain started coming down harder and harder. For about an hour, the inclement weather kept the Big Northern Conference golfers in the clubhouse or on the bus. When the storm cleared, the course was much different than it had been before. That was a good thing for some and bad Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com news for others.

Sterling won’t look past Streator

Eight plays were all the Newman Comets ran in the first quarter against Riverdale during a Week 5 meeting in 2012. Four of those plays ended up in the end zone, and after 12 minutes of play, the Comets led 32-0. It didn’t get any better for the undermanned Rams in a 53-6 loss to Mac Olson the eventual 3A Newman semifinal team. senior The Rams come to Roscoe Eades Stadium on Friday with more players, a new coach in former Eureka head man Mike Goodwin, and a sense that the program is heading in the right direction. But, even those positives haven’t resulted in any wins. The Rams are 0-5, and in many of those games, points have been scarce. “There are positive signs,” Newman coach Mike Papoccia said.

Sterling has beaten Streator 9 years in a row. The average score in those games: Sterling 37, Streator 8. Sterling is 3-2, with its losses coming to powerhouses Kaneland and Rochelle. Streator is 0-5 and has just one win over the last four seasons. All that means little to the Golden Warriors, who visit Logan the Bulldogs Cheshire tonight. Sterling “I don’t know junior if we’re good enough to overlook anybody,” Sterling coach Jon Schlemmer said. “Even though they’re 0-5, they’re a hard-running team,” Sterling junior receiver/defensive back Logan Cheshire said. “They can catch you off-guard. Anything can happen. We still have to play hard. We can’t take anything for granted.” The Warriors need only harken back to last year’s Week 6 meeting with the Bulldogs to know they could be in for a dogfight.

Newman senior Mary Alice Oswalt tosses the ball for one of her big serves during the No. 1 doubles match against Dixon’s Hayley Kent and Jessica VanOosten on Thursday. Oswalt and Anne Vits won the match 6-3, 6-4, and Newman won the meet at Sauk Valley Community College 3-2.

Ask, receive, deliver Newman duo wins battle of friends, helps Comets edge Dixon BY CHRISTOPHER HEIMERMAN cheimerman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, Ext. 552

DIXON – For about 3 months, Mary Alice Oswalt and Anne Vits pled their case. And the Long sisters have been their prize witnesses, even badgering their coaches throughout the school day Thursday. Moments before the verdict was due in the afternoon, the honorable Ann Propheter ruled in her Newman students’ favor. Oswalt and Vits got to play doubles, while Christina and Emily Long slid to No. 1 and No. 2 singles, respectively, against friendly foe Dixon (9-6) at Sauk Valley Community College. “She told us like 2 seconds before we went on,” Vits said.

over their longtime friend, Hayley Kent, and her partner, Jessica VanOosten, part of a 3-2 nonconference victory for the Comets (9-3). On Vits’ service, her tandem leading 4-2 in the first set, Oswalt stood smack-dab in the center of the court and smashed a VanOosten lob, splitting the Duchess duo. “Niiiice!” Vits hollered. “That was soooo good.” Oswalt’s astonishing get on a ripped Kent forehand helped finish off the first set. Oswalt sprinted along the baseline, and the force of Kent’s forehand from the frontcourt allowed Oswalt’s one-handed return to soar all the way to the baseline.

The only damage came on a homer by Pedro Alvarez to start the fifth. Beltran, who has never reached the World Series, reprised his role as one of the game’s greatest playoff sluggers. His 443-foot drive put St. Louis ahead, and was the second-longest shot by a lefthanded batter at 8-year-old Busch Stadium. Beltran has 15 home runs, 10 doubles and 28 RBIs in 35 postseason games. He also has scored 40 runs and stolen 11 bases. Dodgers 6, Braves 1: Clayton Kershaw struck out 12 during seven dominant innings, and Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run homer in Game 1 in Atlanta. The Dodgers jumped out to a 5-0 lead by the fourth against Kris Medlen, taking advantage of some shoddy Atlanta defense. Kershaw limited Atlanta to Chris Johnson’s run-scoring single with two outs in the fourth. The Dodgers’ ace allowed three hits and finished in style, striking out the side in the seventh to match his season high for Ks. Medlen gave up nine hits and five runs in four-plus innings.

Cards unload on Pirates; Dodgers cruise, too Carlos Beltran’s three-run homer sparked a seven-run third inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals got seven stingy innings from Adam Wainwright, delivering a reality jolt to the Pittsburgh Pirates with a 9-1 rout Thursday in their NL division series opener. The first eight Cardinals reached safely in the third to chase A.J. Burnett, saddling the right-hander with the second-shortest outing of his career and putting Game 1 out of reach early. A sellout crowd roared early and then settled in for an easy victory. Lance Lynn (15-10) faces Pirates rookie Gerrit Cole (10-7) in Game 2 Friday. The Pirates ended a 21-year postseason drought and entered their first best-of-five division series with apparent momentum after beating Cincinnati in the wild-card game Tuesday. They never threatened to rally against the Cardinals’ ace, and finished with only four hits. Pittsburgh also was sloppy in the field, committing three errors. St. Louis was sharp on defense, with reliever Carlos Martinez turning in the top play by slinging an offbalance throw to first to nip Russell Martin. “What a play!� Cardinals manager Mike Matheny mouthed in the dugout.

Manager carousel comes to halt Report: Yankees won’t let Girardi negotiate with Cubs BY MARK GONZALES #HICAGO 4RIBUNE

It took only 3 days for Dale Sveum to find a job, and the Cubs should find out in a few days if favored replacement Joe Girardi is staying with the Yankees. Citing a source, the New York Daily News reported that the New York Yankees will not allow the Cubs permission to speak to Girardi about their managerial opening. This would mean the Cubs would have to wait until Girardi’s contract expires Nov. 1, and then only if Girardi hasn’t already re-signed with the Yankees. After general manager Brian Cashman met Wednesday with agent Steve Mandell, both sides are assessing the parameters of a contract extension that could make Girardi one of the highest-paid managers. At the end of the regular season, Girardi told reporters money would play no part in his

decision. Cashman already said that he would like all his coaches to return if Girardi stays. Cubs President Theo

Epstein, meanwhile, said the next manager would select his own coaches but would receive input from management on the current staff.

The Cubs already have compiled a list of candidates in the event they can’t land Girardi, with Padres assistant GM and former Diamondbacks manager A.J. Hinch under consideration, as well as Indians bench coach Sandy Alomar Jr. Meanwhile, the Royals announced the hiring of Sveum as a coach, 3 days after the Cubs fired him as their manager after two seasons. Sveum will be reunited with Royals manager Ned Yost, for whom he worked three seasons with the Brewers. Sveum will serve as either the bench coach or infield coach, with his duties to become more defined once the Royals fill another vacancy after firing third base coach Eddie Rodriguez and reassigning bench coach Chino Cadahia. “You don’t want to get out of the game unless you want to be away for a long time,� Sveum said. “I love baseball and love being a part of it.�

White has rushed 123 times for 553 yards and five touchdowns. That accounts for 30 of the 52 points that the Rams have scored this season. They were shut out in losses to Rockridge and Amboy. They also only scored a safety in a Week 1 loss to Sherrard. “The fullback is like a bowling ball,� Papoccia said. “The tailback, though, is the one we have to worry about. They run

It will be important that they read keys and not get fooled. “You have to stay focused,� Olson said. “We have to the play the game the way that we know how to. We each know our responsibilities, and we

have to stick to them.� After dropping the first game of the season, the Comets have been on a roll the last 4 weeks. They’ve won the last four games by an average of 48-7. “Our goal is to get better every week,� Olson said. “If we don’t do that, then there really isn’t a point to keep playing. We know that we can get better and that we can learn some-

thing from every game.� The Riverdale matchup comes before a tough three-game road stretch to conclude the season. The Comets play at Erie next week against the Erie-Prophetstown Panthers, who share the Three Rivers lead with Newman. In Week 8, they play a Three Rivers crossover game against Sherrard (3-2).

Second try may help in contract

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

J.M. Barrie, a Scottish author and dramatist who created Peter Pan, said, “I have always found that the man whose second thoughts are good is worth watching.” A hard contract to play correctly has an obvious-looking line that doesn’t work, and an alternative approach that can also be tried – which actually does succeed. This deal, as if you could not guess, is an example. South is in three no-trump. West leads the spade queen. What should declarer do? That South hand, with all of those aces and kings and the five-card suit, is easily worth at least 24 points. North used Stayman, then signed off in three no-trump when South denied a four-card major.

Yes, five diamonds would have made, but do not go past three no-trump unless you are either sure that game cannot make or contemplating a slam in your minor.

South starts with eight top tricks: two spades, two hearts, three diamonds and one club. And many players, taking one look at that gorgeous diamond suit in the dummy, would win the first trick, cash the diamond ace, play another diamond ... and go down one. Is there a way to win nine tricks even if diamonds do not break 3-2? Yes, the hearts might be 3-3. South, after taking the first trick, should lead his low heart (or cash his top hearts and, when both opponents follow suit, play a third round). The defenders take the heart trick and lead another spade, but South wins, cashes his top hearts and the diamond ace, plays another diamond, and here claims nine tricks. © 2013 UFS

Old rivalry takes PREP ROUNDUP a break ... I think Polo seventh at NUIC Meet

D

IXON – How

heated is the rivalry between Dixon and Newman? Seriously. You tell me. There were a lot of mixed messages Thursday afternoon at Sauk Valley Community College. Two conflicted opinions came from the same authority on the subject, Dixon coach Steve Boll. “I look at it as being as much of a rivalry as Sterling,” he said a few minutes after Christina Long’s No. 1 singles victory sealed the meet for Newman. “We want to beat Sterling, and we really want to beat Newman.” We kept talking, and then this happened. “Even when they win, we take partial credit for it, as Dixon people,” Boll said. In order for that to make any sort of sense, you’d need to know what was said before that. I brought up the fact that the majority of the players on the court were students of Dixon tennis guru Emma Hubbs. “I just really like Emma,” said Newman assistant Inez Vits, whose daughters, Anne and Erin, have spent numerous summers at Emma’s summer camp. “She instills the love of tennis in the kids. If it weren’t for Emma, area tennis would be non-existent.” Hubbs made her way around the cages in her Dixon jacket, but the purple wasn’t necessarily indicative of her rooting interest. So who was she pulling for? “That’s a tough one for me, because I have those girls in the summer,” Hubbs said. “I don’t want to see anybody lose. All I want to see is all of them play well. Tonight, I was really happy with all of them.” She sure got what she came for. Both the varsity and fresh-soph meets came down to the wire. And everyone had a different opinion about what it was like to play their “bitter” rival. “The dynamic here is completely different,” Dixon No. 3 doubles player Joan Bratt said. “It’s not like we’re opponents. It’s more friendly than any other match. It’s weird. It’s like we’re on our home court.” After all, they call Sauk’s courts home in fresh-soph meets. How about you, Ann Propheter? “It’s always a special match. They all take lessons together. They’ve known each other since they were this high. They’ve always played together or against each other,” the Newman coach said. “I don’t really

enjoy it, because it’s hard for them to play their best against someone who’s a friend.” As you (likely) read in the game story, Hayley Kent agrees with that sentiment. She looked none-toopleased when I asked her how much of a treat it is to play someone she knows so well and respects so much. But I had an awesome time, and I came away with more than I ever could’ve imagined gathering at a nonconference meet. Sure, there were seeding implications, but those were all but eradicated when the Long sisters swapped spots with Mary Alice Oswalt and Anne Vits. The meet will have little to no effect on the seeding meeting Oct. 16, because Propheter has no intentions on playing “Mayo” and Vits at doubles. It was a one-time thing, she said. Back to the whole rivalry thing. I’ve heard some things, man. And I’ve seen some things that have backed those things up. Things pertaining to certain Dixon residents’ utter disdain for Newman. And this is why I love tennis. Any petty bygones or jealousy or any of sort of foolishness hath no business around this gentleman’s sport. Just to drive that home, as always, Hubbs insisted I quote one of her players before I split. She’s always trying to get more kids’ names and faces in the paper, an endeavor that warms my heart, even if inches of ink are precious real estate these days. “I would’ve never met any of these girls if it wasn’t for Emma,” sophomore Aleasha Penn said as the final freshsoph matches wrapped up. She just took up the sport last year. “I love all of them, Newman or Dixon,” she continued. “They’re so sweet, and we have such a bond. Watching the games is hard, because you want to root for them, but I also want to root for my own team. It’s like, ‘What color am I wearing again?’”

There. I think we’ll end on that opinion. Such unabashed camaraderie will help me sleep tonight.

Newman duo stoked to play together DELIVERED

CONTINUED FROM B1

Kent retreated and ran it down, but couldn’t get enough on the shot to get it back over. The Newman duo even looked hard-wired during the near-misses. After the Comets team broke the heavy-serving Kent and the Duchesses returned the favor against the equally formidable service of Oswalt, Vits was serving up up 4-3 in the second set and 40-15 in the game. But Oswalt, who sparkled at the net otherwise, tried some sleight of hand, only to see the ball dance on the tape and fall back. She and Vits simultaneously went down into a squat, moaning “Ugh.” The Duchesses bought themselves some time by coming all the way back to win that game, but couldn’t break Oswalt again. Up 5-4, she began her service with a surgical ace along the far boundary. Four points later, it was over. “We got really into it, because we never get to play together,” Oswalt said. “Especially against a team we know,” Vits said,

Newman’s Christina Long hits a ball over the net during a singles match against Dixon’s Jenna Longan during Thursday’s match at Sauk Valley Community College. “and we know they’re good.” While Kent was excited to face the players she’s taken lessons with for years and faced – or joined, oftentimes – in summer tournaments, she admitted the surprise made matters difficult. “I was kind of excited, because I know they’ve been wanting to play doubles,” Kent said, “And it was definitely nice to have those really long rallies. “But it’s actually kind of harder to play against friends. I like it more when I don’t know my opponents.” But the foursome compared notes on each other’s program’s T-shirts, then took in the decisive

match. About 2 hours after the meet began, and as rain intermittently fell, Christina Long and Jenna Longan were giving each other all they could handle at No. 1 singles. After dropping the first set 6-3, Long evened the second set at 5-5 with a backhand winner that painted the right boundary. After she broke Longan and went up 40-15 for set point, her fortuitous forehand clipped the tape and flopped inches on the other side of the net. She took the 10-point tiebreak – her sixth tiebreak in a week, according to Propheter – to win 3-6, 7-5, 10-6. After winning her first singles match of the year, Long was swarmed by

fellow seniors Hannah Davis and Allie Furr. But not before dad and mom got to her. “We’ve got first dibs,” Bill said, he and his wife, Annette, embracing their daughter. About an hour earlier, their second-born, sophomore Emily, finished off Katie Hammitt 6-0, 6-4. Even earlier, Dixon cruised to straightset doubles victories, Maribeth Johnson and Stephanie Tressel beating Chantel Ordean and Rachel Heiderscheit 6-2, 6-0 at No. 2, and Joan Bratt and Rachael Turffs outlasting Lupita Serrano and Taryn McKenna 6-4, 6-3 at No. 3. Bratt and Turffs, for two, were relieved to not know their opponents very well. It helped them relax. “We’ve had a slump the last three matches,” Bratt said. “This picked us up and got our energy back,” Turffs added. Dixon coach Steve Boll recently challenged his duo. “I told them, ‘This isn’t the team I saw 4 weeks ago,’” he said. “But today, the rust fell off, and I saw that team again.” The teams, along with Sterling, will take aim at the Rock Island Sectional in 2 weeks.

Oregon’s Brubaker top local finisher at Big Northern Meet STORM

CONTINUED FROM B1

“If everybody shaves a few strokes, and we have a couple of us shoot in the 70s, we’ll be in good shape to get out of regionals,” senior Andrew Tichler added. “I think we all felt we were just a little off today.” Most of that was due to the hour-long break in the middle of their rounds. After Tichler battled back from an opening double-bogey to get to even par three holes later, the rain stopped that forward momentum. He finished with an 80, tying Frank for the Rockets’ low score. “It was hit or miss for me, really, after the delay,” Tichler said. “I just couldn’t really get anything going again when we got back out on the course.” Frank played better after the break, though it wasn’t the rain that was holding him back. Fighting a pounding headache,

Frank finally got on a bit of a roll after the ibuprofen he took started taking effect. “It’s one of the worst migraines I’ve had the entire year, but I started making some putts once the ibuprofen kicked in,” he said. “Then I birdied my last hole, and that’s a good feeling going into next week.” Frank and Tichler were joined as honorable mention all-conference players by Oregon sophomore Carson Buck, who fired an 81. The top 10 finishers and ties were named allconference, with the next five and ties – it turned out to be golfers 13 through 20 – earned honorable mention nods. The Hawks had the lone local to finish in that top 10, as junior Taylor Brubaker’s 79 put him in a three-way tie for 10th. Brubaker played well off the tee and near the green in his sub-80 round. “I didn’t miss too many fairways, and my chipping was good,” Brubaker said.

“My goal was to shoot in the 70s and make the top 10, and it feels good to do that. It’s going to boost my confidence a lot going into regionals.” Buck was also pleasantly surprised with his round. He was 3-over through five holes when the storm hit, then got on the bogey train after the restart. But a few encouraging words form coach Jim Spratt turned things around. “He told me to stop worrying about the previous holes, because I couldn’t change my scores on them,” Buck said. “After that, I parred out. “My driver was working, and even though I misplayed a lot of shots into the green, I wasn’t making as big of mistakes as usual. I’m satisfied with my round, and I’m happy going into the postseason.” The stoppage didn’t faze Weber, as the Burlington Central senior started out 3 under through his first six holes, including an eagle on 11, his second

hole of the day. The storm hit at about the halfway point of his round, and he was able to play even par the rest of the way despite some standing water and soggy lies in spots. “The inconsistency of the course was the biggest challenge,” Weber said, “and it felt like we played two different courses, which was weird. But I hit it good all day today, and even though I felt my round was a little sluggish over the last nine or 10 holes, it doesn’t bother me as much because we won as a team, which is what we really wanted when we got here this morning.” Also counting toward Rock Falls’ team score were sophomore Cooper Kilberg (82) and senior Trace Hippen (85), while junior Matt Long’s 85 gave the Rockets the thirdplace tiebreaker. Oregon’s other two counting scores came from sophomore Mitchell Nehrkorn (82) and senior Ben Gardner (88).

Quarterback Drew Brees and the Saints’ offense will be the biggest test the Bears have faced this season. Bears coach Marc Trestman helped Saints’ coach Sean Payton get started in New Orleans.

Saints will be Bears’ biggest test

W

hen the 4-0 New Orleans Saints come to town this Sunday, they will be bringing the most difficult test to date for Marc Trestman’s Chicago Bears. In part, because of how good they are. In part, because he was there at the beginning as these Saints were engineered. And, in part, because he actually contributed to the success they’ve earned under coach Sean Payton. “You know this is one of those weeks where there’s a handful of players and coaches, but coaches specifically – Aaron and Marc – that I’ve had a chance to work with and know and have good friendships with,� Payton said. The feeling is mutual. Trestman hired his offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, Aaron Kromer, from Payton and this Saints team just 8 months ago.

“When he invited me to come down [to hubARKUSH New Orleans], it was Shaw Media an opportunity to have "EARS some dignity in my analyst. He can be career. I had just been reached at let go at N.C. State, and harkush@ I was sitting out a year. shawmedia. He invited me down and com really showed professional respect.

I got a chance to six games of 2012, when look at how to get things Payton was suspended for the season because of done and do things the right way. It was Bountygate. impressive.� The bond between Beyond being friends, Trestman and Payton is Trestman and Payton not well-documented. “No. 1, it was more about embraced football in the a friendship between Sean same way and, through all those symposiums and myself,� Trestman and lunchtime chats, said. “When I was out of both became devotees football [2007], I wound of the modern-day West up spending some time Coast offense. with him, and we used They learned it was all to do that when he was about multiple looks, a coordinator with the Giants. We’d go to sympo- using unique personnel siums and have lunch and and personnel groupings to create mismatches talk football.

and a special type of offensive lineman and offensive line blocking. Enter Kromer. “I know Aaron very well, we coached together in college at Miami of Ohio,� Payton said. “The thing Aaron brought to us was real good, consistent play up front. He developed our linemen. You know he was part of our winning a Super Bowl as our offensive line coach and was someone that was real passionate about the game. “Aaron’s a unique package of a very, very good communicator, he’s a quick-minded football kind of guy who understands the real detailed technical kind of things that go on with playing the offensive line,� Trestman said. “And he has the ability to communicate that.� What Payton currently has that Trestman and Kromer don’t is a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees and

two unique weapons in Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles to create those matchup nightmares. Trestman doesn’t hide his envy of Graham. “He’s hard to stop,� Trestman said. “There are matchup issues there, obviously. We’re in the first year with a player with that kind of size and length in Martellus [Bennett]. They’re ... 3 years into it with Jimmy, so they’re more evolved in their offense. He’s a force, there’s no doubt about it.� Regardless of the outcome Sunday, the meeting for these coaches will be bittersweet. Close friends and respected colleagues will meet for 60 minutes on the field of play, each hoping to bludgeon the other in defeat. Then they will meet at midfield afterwards and embrace, each offering the other thanks for helping to get him there.

BROWNS 37, BILLS 24

Weeden comes to Browns’ rescue One-time starter replaces injured Hoyer to rally Cleveland past Buffalo BY TOM WITHERS !0 3PORTS 7RITER

CLEVELAND – Quarterback Brandon Weeden replaced injured starter Brian Hoyer and rallied the Cleveland Browns to a 37-24 win Thursday night over the Buffalo Bills, who also lost starting rookie quarterback EJ Manuel with a knee injury. Weeden threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon in the third quarter as the Browns (3-2) won their third straight and temporarily moved into sole possession of first place in the AFC North. Safety T.J. Ward intercepted rookie Jeff Tuel’s pass and returned it 44 yards for a TD with 1:44 left to end any comeback hopes for the Bills (2-3). Hoyer sustained a potentially serious right knee injury on a scramble in the first quarter, and Manuel was forced out after taking a helmet to his right knee on a run in the third. Neither returned and their injuries could impact both teams’ seasons.

C.J. Spiller had a 54-yard TD run, and Fred Jackson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for the Bills, who could do nothing on offense once Manuel left the game. Billy Cundiff kicked field goals of 24 and 44 yards in the fourth quarter for the Browns, who overcame a 10-0 deficit and were down 24-17 less than two minutes into the second quarter. Cundiff’s second kick with 2:91 left put the Browns ahead 30-24, and Cleveland turned it over to their third-ranked overall defense. With the Bills still within a TD, Tuel locked in on Robert Woods and never saw Ward, who cut in front of the receiver and scored untouched, allowing Cleveland fans to relax following a hectic second half. Travis Benjamin had an electrifying 79-yard TD punt return in the first half for Cleveland. “We’re a hungry football team,� Weeden said. “It took all three phases.�
