LEE AND OGLE COUNTIES | ENTERPRISE ZONES
Middle is a good place to be Counties get good news from state board about the ‘best economic development tool’ they’ve got BY RACHEL RODGERS rrodgers@saukvalley.com 815-625-3600, ext. 5529 @rj_rodgers
DIXON – Lee and Ogle county officials can breathe a little easier when it comes to attracting new businesses. The State Enterprise Zone Board released the rankings of 18 applicants competing for 12 available enterprise zones Wednesday, and the Lee-Ogle
zone landed in the sixth spot. Having a place in the middle of the ranks gives the region a decent cushion to sit on while waiting for official zone approval, but it does not guarantee the state’s decision. “They are not bound by the scores, but they tend to follow them,” said John Thompson, president of the Lee County Industrial Development Association.
Online extra Read this story at saukvalley.com to see maps of the proposed enterprise zones. Enterprise zones serve as economic development tools to draw in new businesses or expand existing ones through tax abatements and other incentives.
“It’s literally the best economic development tool we’ve got,” Thompson said. “If we don’t get one, it’s a major disaster.” Thompson said the area’s existing zone was established around 1986 and expires at the end of 2017. However, if the new zone is approved, it will take effect Jan. 1 and cancel out the last year of the current zone. DEVELOPMENT continued on A24

STERLING – As a bilingual administrative assistant with Lee County Health Department, Laura Moreno knows many folks who could use a free English as a Second Language course. She also knows that, regardless of heritage, a lot of folks could use some help getting their GED. And she knows just how good it feels to help folks better themselves. She knows all these things because she’s been there, done that. Two pivotal programs at Sauk Valley Community College, Project VITAL (Volunteers in Teaching Adult Literacy) and Adult Education, helped Moreno, 25, learn English when she emigrated from Mexico in October 2010, then get her GED and help others follow suit. When Moreno’s sister, Mirna Cabrera, persuaded her to move to Sterling, she knew little to no English. She’d left Universidad Autonama De Chihuauha in Mexico during her third semester of studying international relations, only to start over, more or less, at Sauk. SAUK continued on A54

Jason Anderson, director of the Greater Rochelle Economic Development Corp., said the ranking reflects the strength of the application and the success the zone has generated in the past 20 years. “This ranking shows that we have what it takes to bring new projects to this region,� he said. “This area is ripe for development and has great potential for new things.� The proposed zone contains about equal coverage between the counties. Andy Shaw, GIS mapping and enterprise zone specialist for Blackhawk Hills Regional Council, said it took 6 months to form an application for the new zone, which was due Dec. 31. The application fills seven binders and takes up about 2 feet of shelf space in Thompson’s office. The proposed zone incorporates most of the Rochelle area and trims existing zone areas not primed for development or expansion, such as residential areas, Thompson said. If approved, the new
zone would strengthen the collaboration and growth between both counties, Anderson said. “This opens the door for us to work together in ways we’ve never even imagined,� he said. Sections removed from the existing zone include areas of Dixon, Amboy, Ashton, Franklin Grove and Paw Paw. The existing zone encompasses all of Dixon’s corporate limits, and Thompson said they organized the new zone into parcels to better utilize the space constraint of 15 square miles. “Collectively, the footprint of the new enterprise zone will be smaller,� he said. About 1,100 acres of the 15-square-mile limit have been set aside as unassigned reserves, which can be added into the zone in the future. The state board’s deadline for approving zones is the end of September. “We’ve set the stage, and hopefully we can breathe a little easier with our score,� Thompson said. Shaw said the new zone will have a lifespan of about 25 years, but the state requires an evaluation process after the first 13 years.

Kenny and Karen were married on Aug. 25, 2012. Kenny was the oldest son of George and Mary Cecelia (Unchapher) Fetterman, and was born Oct. 6, 1944, in Heilwood, Pennsylvania. As a young boy, the family moved to Binghampton, New York, where George was able to give his children a better life than the coal mines of Pennsylvania. After graduating from Whitney Point High School, Kenny enlisted in the Marine Corps and proudly served his country as a Marine security guard detail for Lyndon B. Johnson in Washington, D.C. After his enlistment, Kenny went to work for 32 years as a deputy sheriff for Broome County, New York, retiring in 2000. Kenny enjoyed talking about the farm he worked on as a young man. He liked playing paint ball and dealing cards with his sons and daughters-in-law, and watching his grandchildren grow. He is survived by his wife, Karen of Polo; two
sons, Eric (Carol) Fetterman of Binghampton, New York, and Matthew (Carrie) Fetterman of Chenango, New York; one brother, Walter (Mildred) Fetterman of Montross, Pennsylvania; three sisters, Linda Fetterman and Kathy (Rudy) Antalek, both of Lisle, New York, and Emily (Mike) Sheldon of Berkshire, New York; Karen’s children, Yancy (Sheila) Webster, Trudi Sanders, and Jaime Helfrich, all of Polo, Dustin (Gwenn) Bowen of Chicago, and Doug (Tina) Dobbs of South Beloit; Kenny’s grandchildren, Brittany (Ryan) Richardson, Dylan (Suzanne Farny) Bowen, Chandler Dobbs, Jonathan Heath, Jonah Heath, Logan Fetterman, Paige Fetterman, Mandy Fetterman, Corbin Fetterman, Cayden Webster, and Jacob Helfrich.

CARROLL COUNTY | CHADWICK
Trustees cite hostility and stress created by fellow board members
CHADWICK – A rift on the Village Board has resulted in the resignation of three of its six trustees. Dave Kness submitted a letter of resignation July 27. At Monday’s board meeting, Steve Schafer said he also would be stepping down, and longtime trustee Rick Bosacki told the Prairie Advocate newspaper this week that he, too, will resign. The board will meet in special session at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 to accept the resignations. At least two new trustees – Mick Morgan and Dennis Ferris – will be appointed then, Village President Larry Miller said. State law requires an elected official to submit a notarized letter of resignation. No action was taken Monday on the resignations because that hadn’t
yet been done, Village Attorney Ed Mitchell said. As of Wednesday, Kness and Bosacki’s names and contact information no longer were listed on the village website. In his letter, Kness apologized to Chadwick residents for quitting before his term expired. He said his resignation is the result of “a lot of verbal fighting and bullying by a couple of councilwomen.” He was referring to Talea Nelson and Karen Lief, who were the subject of a special meeting July 13, held after Schafer called for both to resign during the July 11 regular meeting. Nelson called the special meeting a “hunting expedition” and Kness said “absolutely nothing was accomplished.” “I cannot and will not listen to the two councilwomen anymore,” Kness wrote in his resignation letter. “Life is too short,

and we can’t seem to move forward. I look at it like there is only one loser here, and it’s the village of Chadwick and its residents. The letter went on to say, “I hope the public keeps a sharp eye on these two councilwomen and makes sure they have the public interest in mind.” Schafer cited stress and ulcers as reasons for his resignation. “Doctor said I should get rid of the stress,” he said. “I’ve had a good time serving for most of the 4 years,

but health has to come first.” Schafer received several anonymous phone calls about the board’s tensions, Miller said. Bosacki, who has served for 14 years, said he told Miller at last week’s committee meetings that he intended to resign. He, too, blamed Nelson and Lief for the “hostile environment” at many board meetings. “There’s too much hostility,” he said. “I can’t take the stress anymore. It’s overwhelming. I’ve been on the board a long time. Things should have been kept under better control, and I don’t know where it can go from here.” Although trustees have resigned before because of scheduling conflicts, there’s been “nothing like this,” Bosacki said. “I hope things can get better,” he said. “I hope the new people coming in can get along better.”
Transit officer first lawman to face terror charge ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) – Prosecutors brought the first-ever federal terrorism charges against a law enforcement officer in the U.S., alleging Wednesday that a patrol officer with the D.C. region’s transit police bought about $250 worth of gift cards for someone he thought was working with the Islamic State group. Nicholas Young, 36, of Fairfax, was arrested Wednesday at Metro Transit Police headquarters in Washington and charged with a single count of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist group. According to an FBI affidavit, Young bought the gift cards last month that he intended for the Islamic State to use to purchase mobile messaging apps. Young
actually gave the codes for the gift cards to an undercover FBI officer, the affidavit said. He made a brief court appearance Wednesday afternoon, wearing a T-shirt and what appeared to be his uniform slacks. David Smith, who was appointed to represent Young after the hearing, said he could not comment because he had not yet been able to research the details of the case. If convicted, Young could face up to 20 years in prison. Young had been under surveillance since 2010, and he traveled to Libya at least once in 2011, where he said he joined rebel forces seeking to oust dictator Moammar Gadhafi, the affidavit said.

Kids get a kick out of playing Pokemon hike-and-seek POKEMON
CONTINUED FROM A1 t
Though he’s not a Pokemon enthusiast, Hill recognized the boom in popularity the franchise has garnered after the recent release of the Pokemon Go mobile app, and he wanted to give community youths a chance to untether from technology. “I thought it would be cool to give them something to do other than being on their phone,” he said. “I wanted to do something that would be fun for the kids.” Brothers Brennan and Gavin Frey, 12 and 10, have taken the slogan “Gotta Catch ’Em All” to heart when it comes to looking for the hidden Pokemon. “They are beyond into it,” their mother, Vicki Frey, said. “The minute Zach posts a clue, they are hopping on their bikes to go out and find them.”
She said Hill’s contribution to the Pokemon resurgence allows her sons to play outside and get exercise while also promoting the riverfront and other areas. “For him to take all this time and effort to print and hide the Pokemon, it’s great for the kids,” she said. The brothers have become avid Pokemon seekers, sometimes finding the stashed creatures within 10 minutes, but they keep them hidden so others can have a chance at catching them. “They are so good about letting other people find them,” Vicki said. So far, they have caught several Pokemon including a Squirtle, a Bulbasaur and a Charmander. Brennan said some Pokemon are harder than others to find, but the challenge makes the hunt fun. “I think it’s cool to find

Zach Hill (left) holds two of the Pokemon characters he produced on his 3D printer (at right) in Dixon. 3D ones that are actually real,” he said. Hill hides the Pokemon with the help of his daughters, Macie and Kennedy, 5 and 9, with the goal of children finding them – though teenagers and adults have also joined the search – but they don’t stay concealed for long. “I’ll think that I found a great hiding spot, and then
they’ll still find them right away,” he said. Hill has printed about 50 Pokemon and has set about 30 loose at the riverfront, Reagan Middle School, and Ballou and Vaile parks. The batches of Pokemon take at least an hour to print, depending on their size, with some taking several hours to complete.
The 3D printer melts and molds spools of colored plastic at 392 degrees. He takes requests from parents for locations to hide them, and he plans to expand to Rock Falls, Sterling and Polo. Hill has also reached out to the Dixon Police Department to gauge its interest. All he asks of those who find the Pokemon is to
post the catch on his Facebook or other social media outlets, so he can post another clue for a different spot. “I know how it feels when I make my daughters smile, and it’s a really cool, good feeling that hits my heart,” Hill said. “It’s all about giving back to the community and kids having fun.”

ILLINOIS SCOOP
Trying to map a way to term limits Entrenched politicians fight fundamental reform at every turn BY AUSTIN BERG Illinois Policy Institute
Nobody has less trust in their state government than Illinoisans. For years, Gallup polling has placed the Land of Lincoln dead last in the nation on that measure. Who can blame us? Illinois is one of the most corrupt states in the country, and contains the nation’s most corrupt metropolis. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago peg the Windy City as the nation’s “corruption capital.” Frustration with the status quo comes in many forms, maybe none more evident than residents’ overwhelming disgust with career politicians. Nearly four out of five Illinoisans support term limits, according to polling from the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University. Gov. Bruce Rauner renewed his calls for term limits this past week. He’s been banging that drum since taking office.
But legislative leaders are plugging their ears. House Speaker Mike Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have held office for a combined 82 years. Madigan, the most powerful politician in the state, was elected in 1971. He’s been Austin speaker of Berg the House for all but 2 years since 1983, when car phones were cool. Cullerton came to the Statehouse in 1979. OF THE NATION’S 10 largest cities, only Chicago lacks some form of term limits. Aldermen Ed Burke assumed office in 1969, months before The Beatles broke up. Illinoisans have gone to incredible lengths to put an end to lifelong politicians. But a political machine fueled by a lack of term limits has crushed them at every turn. In 2014, hundreds of
EDITORIAL | MENTAL ILLNESS
thousands of petition signatures poured in to put term limits on the state ballot. Organizers collected nearly double the 300,000 signatures required by law. But the effort was swiftly snuffed out. An associate of Madigan’s, Michael Kasper, successfully sued to silence voters on the matter. The ruling in Kasper’s favor was based on a 1994 Illinois Supreme Court decision, spurred after the Chicago Bar Association, or CBA, sued to keep a similar term-limits referendum off the ballot. The ruling came down, 4-3. Three of the four justices in the majority were members of the CBA. Lawmakers’ efforts to pass term limits have been similarly unsuccessful. In 2015, members of the House of Representatives filed a resolution to put term limits in the state’s constitution. It never left Madigan’s Rules Committee. The same resolution filed in the Senate stalled as well. The Illi-
nois House and Senate are two of only six state legislative bodies in the nation where bills can’t be heard without the leader’s approval. IN THEIR DOGGED fight against term limits, Illinois’ elected officials have provided the perfect case study as to why the state should limit politicians’ tenures. The consolidation of power into the hands of a chosen few is the direct result of a state where politicians deal in terms of eras, not elections. In dynasties, not democracy. Those who argue against term limits sing a common chorus: “We already have term limits, they’re called elections.” Others shift blame to voters for low election turnout. However, real elections would require fair maps, something Illinois lacks for the same reason it doesn’t have term limits: entrenched interests. The current legislative districting system leaves
‘‘
sentatives via his map for the 1982 elections. Madigan has repeatedly blocked efforts to reduce political influence on Illinois’ legislative maps. Kasper successfully fought to kill a mapmaking-reform referendum in 2014 and is doing so again this year. Cook County Circuit Court Judge Diane Larsen struck down the ballot question July 20, handing Kasper another major victory. The case will now head to the Illinois Supreme Court.
The consolidation of power into the hands of a chosen few is the direct result of a state where politicians deal in terms of eras, not elections. In dynasties, not democracy.

too many Illinoisans without a real choice in elections. More than 60 percent of Illinois’ state legislative races in 2016 will be uncontested. Politicians redraw the state’s legislative maps every 10 years, carefully choosing their voters. Madigan has had that privilege on three of the past four occasions. In fact, the last successful citizen-lead referendum in Illinois was the 1980 legislative cutback amendment, which enabled Madigan to eliminate 43 GOP-held seats from the House of Repre-
TERM LIMITS HAVE been an uphill battle for years. But despite being muzzled again and again, Illinoisans should take heart in knowing they’ve shone a spotlight squarely on those who have rigged Illinois’ political system in favor of the powerful.

Absurd vehicle, serious message What we think Dixon native Patrick Taylor, who likes to drive around in a Chicken Car, is courageously tackling the serious issue of mental illness while having fun interacting with the public. He is doing commendable work.
A
n absurd vehicle and a serious message. Put them together, and you’ve got Dixon native Patrick Taylor’s Chicken Car and his latest exploit – a 75-day, 48-state Mental Illness Awareness Tour, which wrapped up Sunday in Dixon. Since Taylor, 23, bought BBY Chicken’s promotional vehicle for $500 as a 17-year-old, the car has changed his life. “The amount of opportunity that car’s given me is profound,” Taylor said in an interview with Sauk Valley Media. “I don’t think I’d be the same person without it. I’ve interacted with so many people I otherwise wouldn’t have, and every conversation, you learn something new.” While the white 1993 Ford Mustang would look humorous enough festooned with painted red stripes and blue, star-spangled ribbons, it’s the giant rooster head and tail that catch people’s attention. As a conversation starter, after all, it’s hard to beat a Chicken Car. Taylor, a recent University of Illinois graduate with a financing degree, used the car to promote

awareness of a serious subject this summer – mental illness. It’s an issue Taylor has struggled with; he related during the summer odyssey that he once attempted to take his own life. His traveling companions, Nate Perez and Alexander Vassiliadis, also shared their struggles with mental illness during the tour. AS THEY HAVE discovered, it’s the act of talking about the problem that can lead to help through various support groups and agencies that exist. Locally, people can call health departments in Lee (815-284-3371) or Whiteside (815-7727411) counties for advice and information on local resources. We recall that not too many decades ago, cancer was a taboo topic for conversation. That changed, leading to greater awareness and better treatment of the disease. Efforts such as Taylor’s could well do the same thing for mental illness. We commend Taylor and his friends for launching conversations on a serious topic while having fun doing it.

Though it is a monumental technological breakthrough, it didn’t come easy for the pilots. The trip, which achieved average flight speeds of 28 to 56 mph, was delayed for 9 months after the aircraft’s 17,248 solar cells were damaged during a flight from Japan to Hawaii. Still, Solar Impulse racked up 500 flight hours and glided across four continents, three seas and two oceans. Some of its stops includ-

During its trek across America, Solar Impulse stopped in Pittsburgh, where Paige Kassalen, a 23-year-old electrical engineering graduate of Virginia Tech, is part of the plane’s pit crew.

Proceeds benefit Sterling Public Schools’ orchestra program, with the primary goal of putting instruments in the hands of kids in need. This is the 16th year Lauff, a self-described committee of one, is put-
ting on the event. It’s also the first year that Sterling Schools Foundation will match, dollar-for-dollar, all donations – including money brought in by registration. Kudos to the foundation. Now it’s our turn to step up. I didn’t grow up in an affluent family – far from it – but I never went without things I needed, music included. Frankly, I couldn’t imagine my life without music, and no child should have to. Lauff rattled off a few startling statistics: About 95 percent of students use a school-provided instrument, and could use that instrument for as long as 7 years. Thus, it’s crucial that the orchestra program keep bringing in new instruments – not to mention supplies, including books.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration suspended Wednesday its no-overtime policy for workers caring for disabled residents in their homes, just hours before the workers’ union planned to file a lawsuit challenging the plan’s legality.

So, if you’re looking to add some hardware – word is, this year’s

Commodities Human Services prohibited overtime earlier this year after the federal government decided homecare workers deserved time-and-a-half pay for work over 40 hours a week. Dimas said the policy – not fully enforced until May – has saved $5 million and provides a break for some caregivers who routinely worked double-digit hours. “Previously, we had people working 17 or 20 hours in a day,” Dimas said. “I don’t think people are very fresh and responsive if they put in that kind of schedule.”

Grandma a demanding hostess during visits Dear Abby, We visit my grandmother out of state once a year. After our visits, I usually leave feeling defeated. A few reasons why: She leaves multiple notes around “reminding” us to clean up after ourselves. There’s a note in the shower that says, “Please wipe down shower walls after use.” She asks me to change the sheets or launder our towels before I leave. Although she has decorative paper hand towels in the bathrooms, she asks us not to use them because they are “too expensive.” She complains about my son’s handprints on her windows (he’s 2). She badmouths nearly everyone
dearABBY Abigail Van Buren’s (Jeanne Phillips) column appears during the week through Universal Press Syndicate.
she knows, has unsolicited advice on everything and is generally highly judgmental. When we return home, she gushes about our visit for months, saying how “lonely” she is now that we’re gone and how much she enjoyed our visit. I don’t understand. Is this normal grand-
mother behavior, or does she take it too far? Must we continue spending big bucks to go out there every year, or can we just send pictures and call often? – Granddaughter in a Quandary Dear Granddaughter, If these annual visits are a “command performance,” I can see why you might resent them. However, it’s not unheard of for a hostess to leave a note asking that the shower be wiped down, or that the sheets and towels be laundered before a guest leaves – particularly if the guests are family members. A gracious guest wouldn’t mind doing those things, and
would ask how her hostess wanted it handled before she left. Rather than stew when she complained about your 2-year-old’s handprints on her windows, the appropriate response would have been: “You know, you’re right. I’ll get the Windex!” And when she made a negative comment about someone, you should have found something nice to say about the person in response. If these visits cause financial hardship, visit your grandmother every other year, or consider inviting her to visit you, but don’t cut her off completely. After all, she’s family, and not all family members are “perfect.”
Dear Abby, I’m a newly retired woman living alone. Today I received a phone call on my landline asking me to participate in a survey. The first question asked was how many people are in my household. In the past, I didn’t live alone and I didn’t mind participating in surveys. But calling on my landline makes me worry that person has access to my physical address. And being asked by some stranger for information like my age, the number of people in my household, and whether I have guns in the house, etc. makes me feel very vulnerable. I told the caller I was not interested in participating and wouldn’t give
a reason why. There has got to be a better way to conduct surveys. Please let researchers know. – Cautious Senior

Two sodas a day raises cancer risk, new Swedish study finds Tribune News Service
Here’s one more reason to consider cutting back on the soda: drinking too many sugary drinks on a daily basis has been linked to gallbladder cancer. Swedish researchers studied the eating and drinking habits of more than 70,000 adults, keeping an eye out for cancer diagnoses. They found that people who downed two or more sodas (including ones with artificial sweetener) or juice beverages a day doubled their risk of developing gallbladder tumors com-
pared with people who abstained from sweetened drinks. What’s more, the heavy soda drinkers also had 79 percent higher risk of having biliary tract cancer, according to the study, which was published recently in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. And those who had two or more sugary drinks a day tended to be overweight and ate a less-healthy diet – one with more calories, sugar and carbohydrates and less protein and fat, the researchers noted. People with a history of
diabetes or cancer were left out of the study. While the results do not prove that sugary drinks cause cancer, researchers stressed, there is evidence that the risk is higher for people who drink a lot of heavily sweetened beverages. “These findings support the hypothesis that high consumption of sweetened beverages may increase the risk of [biliary tract cancers], particularly gallbladder cancer,” the scientists from the Karolinska Institute in Sweden concluded.

Stress Reduction Program Based on Mindfulness Meditation The eight-week, nine session Mindfulness Stress Reduction Program is based on systematic and intensive training in mindfulness meditation and mindful hatha yoga and their applications in everyday life and the range of challenges arising from medical and psychological conditions and life stressors.
Embedded within the context of Mind/Body and Integrative Medicine, the Stress Reduction Program based on Mindfulness Meditation curriculum focuses on experiential cultivation of both “formal” and “informal” mindfulness practices as a foundation for cultivation of positive health behaviors and psychological and emotional resilience that can be effectively utilized across the adult life span. The approach supports the learning, strengthening and integration of a range of mindfulness-based self regulatory skills through the development and refinement of inherent internal resources. A primary aim is to cultivate ways of learning and being that can be utilized far beyond the completion of the program. Backed by 31 years of scientific research on the benefit and efficacy of meditation practice, studies show mindfulness meditation practice may reduce blood pressure as well as symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and flare-ups in people who have had ulcerative colitis; may ease symptoms of anxiety and depression; may help people with insomnia. A 2016 study funded in part by NCCIH found that mindfulness meditation does help to control pain and doesn’t use the brain’s naturally occurring opiates to do so.

NFL TRAINING CAMP | BEARS | SPOTLIGHT ON DEIONDRE’ HALL

Feeling right at home Rookie DB Hall fitting in well in Bears’ secondary BY JOHN LAVACCARE Shaw Media
BOURBONNAIS – Bears rookie cornerback Deiondre’ Hall, one of the team’s three fourth-round selections, was the first cornerback selected in the Bears’ two drafts under general manager Ryan Pace and head coach John Fox. Fox said he has been pleased with Hall’s performance so far. “He’s done really well with his assignment,” Fox said. “He’s got the physical tools it takes. I think, really, the proof is in how they perform in games, because that’s the most pressure situation. But I like what I’ve seen. He’s got good ball skills. Again, we’re trying to get better in that area. And he has no problem learning our system.” Hall measured in with a wingspan of nearly 83 inches at the NFL combine, the sixth-largest of any of the prospects. “I’m longer than pretty much anybody else out there, so I’ll be able to get my hands out AP there a lot quicker,” Hall said.

2016 SUMMER OLYMPICS
Chicago really dodged a bullet O
ne of the most demonstrative reactions to defeat I ever witnessed in Chicago occurred when we learned the city lost its bid to host the 2016 Olympics. It was Oct. 2, 2009, and thousands of us gathered at Daley Plaza to await the big announcement from the International Olympic Committee’s vote in Copenhagen. Satellite trucks from 15 news organizations parked on Clark Street. October optimism – the rarest of things in Chicago – reigned. Anticipation filled the autumn air. One mother pulled her son out of elementary school to experience what she expected to be an historic event. And it was. It was the day the IOC saved Chicago from itself. At exactly 10:32 a.m., thenIOC President Jacques Rogge forever became part of the city’s sports landscape with a stunning declaration: “The city of Chicago, having obtained the least number of votes, will not participate in the next round.” Given Chicago’s status as the favorite, this was the equivalent of a No. 1 seed being ousted by a No. 16 on the first day of March Madness. A shocker. After hearing Rogge’s words coming off the large TV screens,

onlookers consoled each other with hugs. Some people cried. Others just shook their heads, amazement matching their disappointment. The Picasso sculpture appeared to be frowning. One local politician, prone to hyperbole, even compared the spirit Chicago would need to recover from this setback to its resilience after the Great Fire of 1871. Having originally supported the idea of the 2016 Olympics, this is what I wrote after walking back to Tribune Tower with a sense of dismay: “You have every right to be mad, Chicago. Something smells rotten in Denmark. … This was the most frustrating defeat in Chicago’s recent sports history.” Fast forward to now, a day before Friday’s opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro, and that “most frustrating defeat,” looks

Rio is finding out just how hard it is to host the Olympics – a fate that could have been Chicago’s had its bid won the 2016 Summer Games. more like it was a fortuitous victory for Chicago. In retrospect, those groans in the plaza should have been cheers, and any rancor toward the corrupt IOC replaced by relief. In texts documenting the city’s first decade of the new millennium, you can find the IOC vote indexed under Blessings In Disguise. As bad as things seem in a city already fighting violence and the financial collapse of its government and school system,
consider how much worse things would be if officials were distracted by hosting an international event as gargantuan as the Games. Hosting the Olympics would have skewed our civic priorities even more, a conclusion more potential host cities are reaching. Chicago is broken. The Olympics likely would have added to the disrepair more than made it easier to fix.

lue squares, red circles, and black rectangles were displayed on a computer screen. X’s and O’s, mashed into what looked like a giant tic-tac-toe board, appeared on another. Ten athletes sat in front of a row of computers. Every few minutes, some would stop clicking the mouse and tapping the keyboard to sneak a glance at their neighbor with a puzzled look, hoping to receive the same look in return. In Room 9 at West Carroll High School, a total of 21 athletes over the school’s nine sports teams and flag squad spent almost an hour of their Wednesday morning taking a pre-concussion ImPact test – a baseline test administered by the Monroe Clinic out of Monroe, Wisconsin. This is the first year West Carroll registered for the testing. Athletic director Joe Hansen decided it would be smart after he saw its benefits while coaching football at two schools in Wisconsin that had the tests available yearly. “It’s a nice thing to have,” Hansen said. “Because of all of the concussions that are happening, we want parents to be more informed and have all the tools available. We want to know that when [an athlete] comes back, it’s not too soon.” The nature of the tricky test is designed to make diagnosing a concussion more accurate, as well as to determine when it’s safe for an athlete to return to action. “Field tests like balance, eye tracking, and memory recall are still effective, and are used regularly,” said Dylan Wittmann, a secondyear athletic trainer with the Monroe Clinic. “But this test is in-depth. After a concussion, you would retake the test, and the scores will be compared with the baseline. Even if an athlete might feel fine, the results can still find issues.” Most who showed up to the voluntary session hadn’t experienced a concussion, but were urged to attend by either a coach or a parent. Natalie O’Connor, who participates in volleyball, track and cheerleading, said her parents thought she should have this done. Olivia Brinkmeier, a sprinter on the track team, as well as a cheerleader and volleyball player, said a friend told her about the test.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – Carli Lloyd and Alex Morgan scored a goal in each half as the U.S. women’s soccer team defeated New Zealand 2-0 in its debut at the Rio Games on Wednesday, getting off to a solid start in its attempt to win a fourth straight Olympic gold medal. Lloyd put the Americans ahead with a header in the ninth minute, and Morgan added to the lead with a low shot from inside the area less than a minute into the second half at the Mineirao Stadium in Belo Horizonte. “That was the best way we could have started,” said Tobin Heath, who made the cross that led to Lloyd’s goal. “We came out with a lot of energy and a lot of determination. I think in that regard, we put our best foot forward and got that goal, and I think that helped propel us throughout the game.” The U.S. dominated from the start to earn the convincing victory and remain unbeaten in 2016, with 14 shutouts and only one draw in 16 games.

Driving on the ‘Yellow Line’ in Rio
R
IO DE JANEIRO – When I arrived in Rio with Chicago Tribune photographer Brian Cassella on Tuesday, I looked at the route our Uber driver was supposed to take from Santos Dumont Airport, located in downtown Rio. It looked like it snaked along the northern edge of the city, avoiding the touristy areas near the coast. Instead, our driver took us toward the coast and served as an impromptu tour guide on our 1 hour, 15 minute ride through traffic to Barra da Tijuca, where we were staying. (It only cost us about $30 total). He pointed out Sugarloaf Mountain and the Christ the Redeemer statue (although it was hidden by low-hanging clouds). It was a very sanitized view of Rio. We didn’t see much of the favelas, the slums of Rio where poor people live, and gangs, referred to as the “movement,” rule the streets. Then on Wednesday, I went back downtown

While one route through the city includes views of landmarks, another includes views like this. to interview someone for a story. Again, it was another hour-long Uber ride, but this time my driver took Linha Amarela, or the Yellow Line, the route our driver was supposed to take Tuesday. This was when all the problems I had been reading about in Rio hit me. Favelas flanked the highway for a good portion of the drive.
All kinds and colors of houses stacked next to each other in all kinds of shape and disrepair. What really drove the point home was seeing soldiers on the highway as we went by. I must’ve seen about seven or eight trucks with about four or five soldiers standing outside of each. Then closer to downtown there were
military police vehicles speeding past traffic. Rio is certainly putting on a show of security. What’s also interesting about the road is that the left lane of the fourlane highway is marked off with green lines and is specifically for Rio Olympic vehicles, including (thankfully) media buses. On my way back to Barra, I asked my Uber driver if Linha Amarela is a dangerous road. He replied, through Google translate, “Only in a small part.” Good to know. And hopefully the soldiers along that stretch of road will prevent any disaster from happening.

There were days while Capers was coaching the Panthers – where Greene served as both outside linebacker and coach-in-training – when Capers would wring his hands over how to set the proper emotional tone. Turns out, he needn’t have bothered. “You always worried if you have the right things to say before a game,” Capers said.

PACKERS | FAVRE | HOF INDUCTION
Relationships mended, two QBs show class Rodgers looking forward to Favre’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony By the Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers is looking forward to watching Brett Favre’s induction ceremony into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. The guy who replaced Favre, extending a seamless line of stellar quarterback play with the Green Bay Packers, will be making his first visit to the museum. The enshrinement ceremony is Saturday, and the Packers play the Indianapolis Colts in the Hall of Fame game on Sunday. Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Kevin Greene, who was an assistant coach in Green Bay, is also among an eight-member class being honored. Greene will be introduced by current Packers defensive coordinator and former Steelers assistant Dom Capers. AP But Favre’s induction Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (left) said he will be excited to watch former especially means a lot teammate Brett Favre’s Hall of Fame induction, despite the pair not getting along to Packers fans. He was early in Rodgers’ career. voted in on the first ballot.
Favre by the numbers Games: 302 Passing yards: 71,838 TD passes: 508 INTs: 336 “There’s a lot to be said about that, and his career and the way he played, and it’ll be fun to hear the remarks,” Rodgers said before practice Monday night. They may not have been quite as chummy in 2008, when Rodgers took over as the starter following the messy split between the Packers and Favre who, at the time, had a hard time deciding whether or not he was going to retire. Relationships have been mended. The Packers retired Favre’s No. 4 jersey last year in an emotional homecoming. “It’s going to be really special to be a part of,” Rodgers said about
watching Greene and Favre getting inducted on Saturday. The Packers are staying in Cleveland, and must organize travel to Canton for the ceremony. It’s also a game week, so the schedule is modeled after how the Packers operate during the regular season for a road game. Normally, the team would just be practicing and staying put at its hotel the day before a road game. Rodgers didn’t know yet coach Mike McCarthy’s plan for playing time for preseason games, including Sunday. “My workload, it’s hard to say workload with the amount of plays I’ve played the last few years in preseason,” Rodgers said. “But whatever he wants us to do we’ll do, whether that’s a series or a quarter or more than that, we’ll be ready to play.”
Hall quickly proving he belongs CONTINUED FROM B1
t “[Hall] has long arms, longer than mine, so it’s kind of frustrating,” Bears wide receiver Daniel Braverman said earlier in camp. “In the press [coverage], he’s just able to stick his arm out. You have to work around that, being able to be ready for when he shoots his hands.” Hall has also spent time practicing with the kickoff team. He has experience on special teams from his time at the University of Northern Iowa. “Hopefully I can make a little role for myself on special teams, and as a rookie, that’s what you have to be able to do to get on the field, so I take a lot of pride in that,” Hall said.
Hall got his first taste of his newfound fame among Bears fans at training camp. As players exit the field after each practice at Olivet Nazarene University, they make their way through a gauntlet of fans, where a tunnel of mostly young fans try to convince players to sign autographs. “At first, it was really overwhelming,” Hall said. “Even at the end of practice, when you’re going through the gauntlet of fans screaming your name, school, come sign this, come sign that, that was definitely a reality check. “But I think it’s all fun; I love it.” Hall expressed some surprise about his selection by the Bears in a May interview with Nerdist,
but now that he’s spent a few months with the team, the Blue Springs, Missouri native said he is “really happy” the Bears chose him. “It’s ended up being a great home,” Hall said. “Everybody in the organization is awesome. It’s just a really good feel. Everybody wants the best for you. You can hear around the league, there may be other teams, other organizations and whatnot that kind of take things in a different perspective. But here, it definitely feels like home.” Injury bug: Alshon Jeffery didn’t finish practice Wednesday because of muscle tightness, per John Fox. Danny Trevathan also failed to finish practice after suffering a knee injury.

Made in the shade
here was a beautiful sight at Shady Oaks Country Club late Tuesday afternoon, and it had nothing to do with a wellstruck shot. The parking lot was full, from the prime spots near the clubhouse to the cheap seats down by the first tee. After all, a golf course is a business, and without paying customers to support it, it could go belly-up in no time. I made my way back down to my home away from home as a youth growing up in Amboy for two reasons. First, I wanted to get in a practice round for the men’s Rock River Classic, as the Shady Lady will host the second round of the tournament on Sunday. It was shrewdly and accurately pointed out by a few gentlemen in the clubhouse that yours truly had done the same thing a few weeks back leading up to the Lincoln Highway tournament, hosted by Timber Creek in Dixon. OK, I’ve been found out. My second reason for wanting to get back to my roots was to check on the financial health

of the course. I’d heard some rumors that the course was in trouble, that it was in danger of being cut back to nine holes, and/or that it could be sold to neighboring Woodhaven Lakes in the not-toodistant future. Long story short, I was assured none of those things are on the radar, at least not now. The course actually made a profit in the 2015 season, and is on the road to doing the same in 2016. That brought a smile to my face, as I would hate to see Shady Oaks suffer the same fate that has happened to three area courses (Lake View in Sterling, Prairie Ridge in Morrison, and Oakville in Mount Carroll) in recent years. I enjoyed playing all of those courses, and I’m

On Tuesday, Shady Oaks was teeming with golfers, due in large part to a men’s league that has stood the test of time. It was a hit when I was a member at Shady Oaks, and it continues today. There were 72 golfers participating on a pristine evening, and the course was in fantastic shape.
I joined Dave Kemp, Clayton Kemp, Ed Dunn and Greg Ohlendorf for league play, and we combined to tie for second place. For that, we received nothing – other than the many laughs we shared throughout the round. At the beginning of the day, I wondered how many more Tuesday men’s league nights there would be at Shady Oaks. Hopefully, there will be many, many more to come.

Rickie Fowler (left) stuck around after the finish of the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club on Sunday to congratulate champion Jimmy Walker (right). Fowler is ranked No. 7 in the world, but is no lock to make the U.S. Ryder Cup team. There is no cause for alarm. He still is No. 7 in the world, and that’s not a case of bad math. Fowler won in January at Abu Dhabi against the strongest field of the year on the European Tour. He lost the Phoenix Open in a playoff after leading by two shots with two to play.
He had the 54-hole lead at Quail Hollow in early May and closed with a 74. Since then, his only top 10 was at Firestone, a World Golf Championship with a small field and no cut. “It’s been a little slow the last couple of months,” Fowler said.

The Cubs’ Matt Szczur (20) scores the winning run on a wild pitch from Marlins relief pitcher A.J. Ramos (44) as Willson Contreras and umpire Marty Foster watch during the ninth inning Wednesday in Chicago. The Cubs won 5-4.
Wild finish at Wrigley Cubs rally thanks to 3 runs in 9th with RBI hit By the Associated Press
Matt Szczur scored on A.J. Ramos’ wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, capping a threerun rally that gave the Cubs a 5-4 victory and a threegame sweep of the Miami Marlins on Wednesday at Wrigley Field. Chicago tied it when Ramos (1-1) walked Ben Zobrist with the bases loaded and two outs. It was Ramos’ second blown save in 33 chances this season. Miguel Montero started the rally with a leadoff double, and went to third on a single by Javier Baez. Szczur was pinch-hitting when he drew a walk from Ramos that loaded the bases. Dexter Fowler made it 4-3 with a sacrifice fly, and all the runners advanced. Kris Bryant struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch for the second out, and Anthony Rizzo was intentionally walked to load the bases again. The strategy backfired when Ramos, who threw just 13 strikes in 35 pitches, walked Zobrist, and then unloaded a game-ending wild pitch with Willson Contreras at the plate.

Two sections include word association, one of which attempts to confuse by asking to select the word that says ‘Red’, but the red-colored word might read ‘Green.’ Another section asks you to remember which direction several lines were pointing, while another measures reaction time. The final section deals with memory, including a quiz about the beginning portion of the test.

White Sox pitcher Chris Sale sits in the dugout Wednesday in Detroit. Sale struck out 10 and walked just one in a complete-game six-hitter, but the Tigers won 2-1. June 16, Martinez received a long standing ovation on his way to the plate to hit for James McCann leading off the inning. The cheers got a lot louder when Martinez launched Chris Sale’s first pitch into the shrubs above the centerfield fence. The White Sox put their first two runners on against Francisco Rodriguez in the ninth, and Melky Cabrera moved to third on Justin Morneau’s fly out. Rodriguez struck out Todd Frazier, but walked Avisail Garcia to load the bases. Dioner Navarro grounded out to second to end the game. Sale (14-5) took the loss, allowing two runs and six hits in an eight-inning complete game. He walked one and struck out 10.
Cardinals 5, Reds 4:
Brandon Moss singled home a pair of runs during St. Louis’ four-run first inning, extending his season-long streak against the Reds, and the Cardinals won in Cincinnati to even their series. St. Louis sent nine batters to the plate against Cody Reed (0-6) in the first inning, with Moss and Greg Garcia each driving in a pair of runs with singles. Stephen Piscotty added a solo homer, the Cardinals’ fifth in two games. Moss is 5-for-9 with three doubles and a homer after returning from the disabled list. Michael Wacha (7-7) gave up a pair of runs in five innings as he won his fifth straight decision. Seung Hwan Oh earned his eighth save in 10 tries.

For incoming sophomore football player Grant Mangler, this test took on another meaning. Mangler suffered a concussion while playing football at the eighthgrade level, less than 2 years ago. His injury happened on a routine play, a play that just about every team has in its playbook. Mangler, playing defense, was attempting to rush the edge to stop the running back when he was smashed into by a much larger pulling guard. “I got lit up,� he said. “I saw the replay; I just went down.� Mangler was told to take it easy until his symptoms cleared. He spent most of the next 3 weeks lying down, until he felt good enough to resume a normal lifestyle. In school, he said, teachers took it easy on him, as it was hard for him to complete assignments. When asked how he
thought he would fare if he had to take this test again with concussion symptoms, Mangler wasn’t confident. “It would definitely be really hard,� he said. “You’re foggy, and would have trouble with a lot of these questions. Some made you think hard, and that doesn’t work when you have a concussion.� The Monroe Clinic performs these tests for seven high schools in Illinois, as well as Highland Community College. Some schools use different clinics to perform these tests, while others conduct them with field tests and verbal questioning. Hopefully the “tough guy� philosophy of playing through a concussion is fading away. After spending Wednesday morning with several teenagers who have their future health in mind, it was nice to see that adults are taking the extra steps necessary to ensure to their safety.

ou may acquiesce Y to temptation
Grizzwells by Bill Schorr
Lane Olinghouse, an author of self-help articles, said, “Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address.” In yesterday’s deal, East had to resist the temptation to play third hand high when his highest card was only an eight. Then, it was right to give count by playing low from a tripleton. This permitted partner to work out that declarer had started with only two cards in this suit. What is the situation today? May East succumb to thirdhand-high temptation? South is in three no-trump, and West leads his fourthhighest spade four. When declarer covers West’s spade four with dummy’s five, East may play third
hand high because he has a doubleton in that suit. He starts an echo, a high-low. A clever South will take that trick with his jack, not with the eight. From East’s play, South knows that West
started with the spade ace and queen. As long as East does not win a trick, declarer still has a spade stopper. South then leads his low heart to dummy’s king and runs the club queen. After taking the trick with his king, what should West do next? West will be tempted not to believe his partner and to cash the spade ace, thinking it will drop South’s king. Here, though, that lets the contract make. Instead, West should trust East, not South. If South still has two spades left, East must be put on lead. West should shift to the diamond nine, top of nothing. Then East should win with his ace and return the spade two. This allows the defenders to take one club, one diamond and four spades for down two. © 2016 UFS
