State incentives help keep project in state

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570

STERLING – Wahl Clipper Corp. will reinvest in Sterling, with the help of a state eco-

nomic development incentive program targeting businesses that are considering projects in another state.

Wahl announced Thursday it will build a new $8.5 million corporate headquarters building on its Sterling campus. The maker of personal care devices will start construction on the

40,000-square-foot building this spring and wrap up the project before year’s end.

Wahl has promised the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity that the expansion will create at least five jobs and allow it to retain the 114 workers at corporate headquarters. The

company employs nearly 900 in Sterling, and about 2,000 worldwide.

In return for its job creation promise, Wahl qualifies for a tax credit through the state’s Economic Development for a Growing Economy program.

Mel Foster Co. auctioneer D. Herb Burns (right) opens the bidding Thursday morning for the Sterling Centers building at 301 W. Third St. in Sterling. The winning bid was $87,500, even though the bidding was to start at $100,000.

Local investors purchase building with $87,500 bid

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570

STERLING – The Sterling Commons Building was sold to a local investment group Thursday morning during an auction at the building, 301 W. Third St. John Dziedzic, who lives on a farm near Ashton, had the

high bid of $87,500. The bidding was to start at $100,000, but auctioneer D. Herb Burns of Mel Foster Co. Auction Services opened the bidding at $250,000. This was the third auction of the building since 2008; the minimum bid had once been $900,000.

Fourteen people showed up for the sale of the 480,000-square-foot building that was once home to Frantz Manufacturing, and most recently had served as a warehouse and shipping facility. The three-floor build-

ing includes 30,000 square feet of office space and 18 loading docks.

The only other bidder was Colby Snyder, owner of Midwest Commercial Wholesale in Sterling. Snyder put in the opening bid of $50,000.

Shortly after Burns jokingly shouted “somebody call the sheriff; there’s a 211 in progress,� the bidding stopped at $87,500, and the auctioneer and real estate agent Jim King Jr. of RE/MAX Sauk Valley, called the sellers, nonprofit Helping Hands of

America. Former owner Jim Gabler donated the building to Helping Hands late last year, after he was unable to sell it.

Burns came back from the initial phone call with bad news for the high bidder. “The seller says $100,000 buys the building,� Burns told the investment group. “This is the the bid you have; this is free money for the owner,� a member of the investment group told Burns.

New anti-drug task force working in Dixon 10 search warrants, ‘major arrest’ in division’s first 3 months

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5521

DIXON – Four months after the Dixon Police Department launched a pilot street crimes division, the results are in, and it’s here to stay.

The division was created, Dixon Police Chief Danny Langloss said, to give officers the

opportunity to work full time on drug cases instead of having to balance their schedules with patrol shifts.

At a Dixon City Council meeting last week, Sgt. Matt Coppotelli was officially announced as the sergeant in charge of the new division. He supervises two officers.

Coppotelli, 38, has been with

Firefighter pleads not guilty State’s attorney says her office will continue to prosecute

BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM

STERLING – A Sterling firefighter accused of sexually abusing a girl has pleaded not guilty.

According to court documents, Philip D. Johannsen fondled and kissed the girl in early April.

He appeared in court Wednesday to enter his plea, represented by one of his attorneys, James Fagerman.

Unlike in two other criminal cases involving public safety employees, Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce said Thursday that her office will prosecute Johannsen.

Joyce explained that, for example, in the case of a Sterling police detective who pleaded guilty in January to battery after being involved in a bar fight, she felt it would be inappropriate for her office to prosecute him because the state’s attorney’s

On Jan. 14, 2013, the board voted to buy shirts and a coat for the police chief without first posting the issue on its meeting agenda. In response, village resident Tracy Shaffer filed a complaint with the attorney general, prompting the board to admit its violation and revote the issue.

Last week, the state attorney general issued a letter to the village, saying the board should

In its determination last week, the attorney general’s office said that because the village had already corrected the matter, no further action was required. “We remind the board, however, of its continuing obligation to comply with all requirements of [the Open Meetings Act],� Assistant Attorney General Tola Sobitan said in the letter.

Village President Tim Crady said the matter

We were in a situation where we just hired the chief, and he needed uniforms,� he said. “We have to remember to put things on the agenda. It was an oversight.�

In an email, Shaffer said the public clearly wants to know what is happening with its tax dollars. “I am glad that the attorney general’s office allows for public input so that the public and governing bodies can work together to

In 2012, Crady admitted to “dropping the ball� by having a board vote behind closed doors. To correct that mistake, he called a special meeting to revote the issue, which was the firing of an employee, Will Shaffer, husband of Tracy Shaffer.

After residents complained about the vote behind closed doors, the trustees voted publicly on the issue at a later meeting.

Will Shaffer has sued the village, saying his firing was discriminatory.

Some are charming.

In Mount Carroll, at the start of a City Council meeting, someone pulls a string to ring a bell in the City Hall tower, which alerts the public.

The Lee County Board has its tradition, too – a doughnut and coffee break, which takes at least 15 minutes after about an hour into its morning meeting.

Last year, member Tom Kitson, R-Dixon, asked the county to include more nutritious fare. And the county did, adding apples and bananas.

Others apparently liked the idea. Any number of members, including Kitson, chomp on fruit during breaks.

posed to push breaks to the end of meetings.

Those with day jobs agreed.

Other members stood by the tradition, saying the chairman should have the right to call breaks. The doughnut debate was unlike any the board had seen in months, with one member accusing his bickering colleagues of “acting like Congress.�

In the end, Chairman Rick Ketchum, D-Amboy, said he would make the call, deciding whether to have doughnuts during

or after the meeting.

(Apparently, beforehand is not an option.)

In the two meetings since, Ketchum has called the breaks about an hour into the meeting. The status quo won.

During this month’s break, I asked Morrissey about his bold, ultimately failed gambit.

Biting into a banana, Morrissey, one of the younger members, acknowledged defeat. “We lose our momentum with the break,� he said. “I’d like to get business done.�

Unfortunately for Morrissey, many of his colleagues see breaks as icing on the cake – or doughnuts, in this case.

OBITUARIES Eugene O’Neal PORTALES, N.M. – Eugene O’Neal, 82, of Portales, received his heavenly degree Sunday, April 13, 2014, surrounded by family.

Eugene was born Oct. 8, 1931, in Marvel, Ark., to Thomas and Lottie O’Neal. He was the eighth of nine children. He was raised in Arkansas. In his early 20s, he moved to Rock Falls, where he met the love of his life, Barbara Cardwell. Three and 1/2 months after they met, they were married on May 13, 1955. They were married 57 years before Barbara’s life journey ended. They had four children, Daris, Robert, Dorothy, and Thomas.

Eugene was a steel worker for more than 30 years before retiring and moving to Portales. He was very active early on in working, and helping in, the construction of a new church building for the Portales Church of God, where he was a member. His greatest joy was spending time with his family and telling stories to his grandchildren and greatgrandchildren.

He is survived by two

daughters and sons-inlaw, Daris and Donald Hay of Portales and Dorothy and David Allen of Rock Falls; two sons and a daughter-in-law, Robert O’Neal of Portales and Thomas and Sara O’Neal of Rock Falls; 17 grandchildren; 20 great-grandchildren; and a brother and sisterin-law, David and Shirley O’Neal of Rock Falls.

He was preceded in death by his parents, four brothers, four sisters, a great-grandchild, and his beloved wife, Barbara, who died Nov. 13, 2012.

The funeral will be at 10 a.m. Saturday at Wheeler Mortuary Chapel in Portales, with the Rev. Donald Hay Jr. officiating, assisted by the Rev. Michael Gilcrest. Burial will be at Portales Cemetery, with T.J. O’Neal, Ryan Hay, Timothy Hay, Jonathan Gilcrest, Noah Hay, and Ethan Greene serving as pallbearers. David Allen, Carlos Reyes, Jon Greene, and Jestin Squires, along with all of his other grandchildren, will be honorary pallbearers.

ANTI-DRUG

Since the new division was launched in January, Langloss said, the team has focused strongly on ridding the streets of Dixon of heroin, cocaine, and MDMA (“ecstasy�), as well as anyone involved in their trafficking. “They’re really doing a good job,� Lee County State’s Attorney Anna Sacco-Miller said. “They’re able to follow up on things that we haven’t been able to follow up on for a long time. ... I think

it’s good because various news agencies have been reporting about the heroin epidemic, and so we’re trying to stop it from coming in.�

In just a few months, the team has executed 10 search warrants and arrested a man who, police say, is believed to be one of largest heroin dealers in the area.

That man is Tysheed Steward.

Steward, 34, formerly of Chicago and Wisconsin, was arrested in February. Police say he sold less than a gram of heroin to an informant

in front of Sterling High School.

Stemming from that arrest, he is being charged in Lee County with unlawful criminal drug conspiracy.

Last week, a Lee County judge decided three other charges originally brought against Steward were to be transferred to Whiteside County. Those charges are delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, delivery of a controlled substance, and unlawful possession of a controlled substance.

Langoss declined to

give details on the investigation. “It’s been a tremendous success,� Langloss said of the results so far. “They’ve just scratched the surface of what they’re going to do.�

Langloss said there is no known organized gang activity in Dixon now, nor associated shootings or activity. “Our approach over the years has changed,� he said. “This is just the latest change in response to the tactics that the dealers in the area are using. ... It’s just the next evolution in our war on drugs.�

Fake mayor Twitter account prompts raid PEORIA (AP) – Police officers trying to find out who was behind a fake Twitter account set up in the name of Peoria’s mayor have raided a home, seizing computers and phones and hauling several people in to be questioned.

Tuesday’s raid was carried out by four plainclothes officers, even though Twitter had suspended the account several weeks ago. Three people at the home were brought to a police station to be interviewed, as were two other people

who were met by police at their workplaces.

No arrests were made in connection with the Twitter account, but one of the residents was charged with possession of marijuana, the Peoria Journal Star reported.

Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard says officers were investigating it as a possible case of impersonating a public official, an offense punishable with a fine of up to $2,500 and up to a year in jail. “They brought me in like I was a criminal,�

said Michelle Pratt, a 27-year-old resident who was in the shower when officers arrived at the front door.

The Twitter account was set up in late February or early March under the handle @Peoriamayor. It included a photo of Mayor Jim Ardis, his city email address and a bio saying he enjoyed serving the city.

Some tweets referenced sex and drugs.

By March 10, the bio information was updated to indicate it was a

Jacobs ‘excited’ more jobs coming to the area HEADQUARTERS CONTINUED FROM A1

One of the EDGE program requirements is that the company provide documentation about the outof-state option available to them. Wahl’s documented offer for its headquarters project came from Iowa.

The rest of the local operations would have remained in Sterling. “The company was looking at an alternative site across the river in Bettendorf, Iowa,� DCEO spokesman Dave Roeder said.

Wahl was given a waiver on another program requirement. A company must agree to invest at least $5 million in capital improvements and create a minimum of 25 full-time jobs in Illinois. For a company with 100 or fewer employees, the company must agree to make a capital investment of $1 million and create at least 5 new full-time jobs in Illinois.

Just counting employees at headquarters, Wahl is still 14 over the 100 employee maximum for creating just five jobs. The DCEO decided to provide some wiggle room on the job creation number. “We did give them a waiver on that requirement, because they were very close to the employee number, and they were far

above the investment minimum,� Roeder said.

In addition to the EDGE credit, Wahl will receive an investment tax credit and a sales tax exemption for building in an enterprise zone. The incentives are worth a total of $1.6 million over the next 10 years.

While the incentives played a big role in Wahl’s decison to build the headquarters here, there were other factors at play, the company said. “It also underscores our belief in the region as a good place to live and do business,� Wahl CEO Greg Wahl said.

The expansion serves two main purposes – to accommodate future growth, and to better showcase a company with a growing global footprint. “The new facility frees up a great deal of space in our current facilities to allow us to continue to grow and prosper,� Wahl said. “It will also provide a state-of-theart corporate facility as a showplace to our worldwide customer base.�

State Sen. Mike Jacobs, D-Moline, said he hopes Wahl will be an example of how businesses can benefit from locating in Illinois. “I am excited that Wahl ... is not only staying in Illinois, but expanding its facilities in Sterling, and bringing more jobs to the area,� Jacobs said.

Participation up at Sauk Career Fair Ninety percent of employers hiring this year

BY PAM EGGEMEIER PEGGEMEIER SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON – Charlene Lampert doesn’t find the local job market particularly robust these days, but she admits her frame of reference is limited.

Lampert, of Dixon, sat at a table, diligently filling out a job application at Thursday’s Career Fair at Sauk Valley Community College. “I lost my job in magazine distribution after 22 years in February,� Lampert said. “I don’t think there’s much out there, but I don’t have much experience in looking for work to compare it to.�

While manufacturing seems to be picking up, she is having a difficult time finding something in specialty services. She has been applying for administrative, officetype positions, and she likes the convenience of the Career Fair. “It’s nice to have so many employers here in one place,� Lampert said. “It’s opened up ideas for places I hadn’t even though about applying to.�

This Sauk Career Fair was the second since returning from a yearslong hiatus. “We used to have one in the past, and when I came here a couple years ago, one of my priorities was to bring back the event,� said Anita Carney, business services coordinator at Sauk.

Forty employers set up booths for this year’s event, up from 27 last year. The turnout seemed to be better this year too, Carney said. “It was rainy last year, and attendance was sporadic, but this year it’s been steady,� she said.

The name switch from Jobs Fair to Career Fair allows for better representation from employers, because they don’t have to be actively hiring to participate, Carney said. “They don’t have to be hiring, but this year about 90 percent are, so I think that shows the economy is starting to rebound,� she said.

The list included representives from manufacturing like BorgWarner and Nippon Sharyo,

health care employers KSB Hospital and Mercy Nursing Services, and even the leisure sector with Wild Rose Casino and Resort.

The Career Fair is useful long after it ends, said Alan Pfeifer, academic vice president at Sauk. “We share our information and insights from the event internally to help develop and modify our programs and help meet worker needs,� Pfeifer said.

That process started early this morning with a presentation at a meeting of the Workforce Coalition, at which representatives from Sauk and several local employers discussed curriculum and workforce skills needs.

THE CARTOONISTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S VOICE

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

Yâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preschool blazed trail for others to follow What we think While the upcoming closure of the YWCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preschool is sad, that should not stop the community from celebrating the pioneering program that served children for 50 years.

I

f itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true that children are a communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable resource, the YWCA of the Sauk Valley has certainly done its part over the years to nurture that resource.

This year marks a milestone in the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s service to local children.

Fifty years ago, the YWCA launched its preschool at a time when few others offered such early childhood educational services.

For half a century, the YWCA has provided the community with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;top-notch, childcentered programâ&#x20AC;? that has â&#x20AC;&#x153;touched the lives of hundreds of children and their families,â&#x20AC;? as Carol Fitzgerald, executive director of the YWCA, wrote in a letter to the editor last month.

The same letter, sadly, announced the upcoming closure of the pioneering preschool. The reasons, Fitzgerald wrote, were because of â&#x20AC;&#x153;teacher retirements, mutiplying state requirements, and economics.â&#x20AC;?

A Sauk Valley Media story earlier this week took a closer look at how the preschool operates and the important way it has served the community.

Currently, the program has one section of 4- and

5-year-olds, one class of 3-year-olds, and two classes of 2-year-olds.

A teacher mentioned that the program for 2-year-olds was the only preschool option for that age group in four counties.

Since the mid-1960s, other preschools, following the YWCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lead, have opened to serve the area. Because the YWCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program has been running at a deficit, the time came to evaluate whether the agency should focus its efforts elsewhere.

The end of the YWCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preschool (the doors will close May 20) should not take away from its decades of service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are grateful to have touched the lives of hundreds of children and their families,â&#x20AC;? Fitzgerald wrote.

That gratitude, we believe, is mutual.

Next month, those hundreds of people will have a way to express their own gratitude when the YWCA celebrates the preschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 years. Details of the special event will be announced later.

We join the community in congratulating the YWCA, its teachers and staff for their half century of service to our communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most valuable resource.

Well-earned Pulitzer for NSA surveillance reports Americans better informed as a result Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Editorial Board

There were other worthy contenders for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service, but no reporting was more deserving than the revelations about the National Security Agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s widespread secret surveillance program at home and abroad.

The Pulitzer committee awarded journalismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest honor to The Washington Post and the American office of The Guardian, a British newspaper, for publishing NSA documents and explaining its activities to a public that found its extensive snooping on the communications of ordinary Americans hard to fathom.

When Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor, leaked thousands of classified documents last year detailing the spy agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

mass surveillance, he was denounced as a traitor by many elected officials.

The Obama administration said it would arrest him at the first opportunity and charged him under the Espionage Act. Snowden, however, was given asylum in Russia.

The Post and The Guardian US deserved their Pulitzer for the difficult decisions they made on how to handle the sensitive material, balancing the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demand for secrecy and the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to know.

The Guardian even faced threats of a shutdown by British authorities, who claimed that its revelations endangered national security.

By showing their readers the extent of NSA surveillance and sparking a debate over national security and personal privacy, the news agencies epitomized the best practices of modern journalism.

Americans are far more informed as a result.

End secrecy over severance Bill would end confidentiality about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;golden parachuteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deals Northwest Herald Editorial Board Crystal Lake

Secrecy and your government:

When it comes to public money, nothing should be kept a secret.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always the case, obviously, so we applaud state Rep. Renee Kosel and the Illinois House for approving legislation that promotes more transparency in government.

House Bill 3664 amends the Illinois Freedom of Information Act to forbid any public body from imposing confidentiality as a condition of receiving any severance agreement funded in part or in whole with public money.

There is an exception to protect a trade secret, proprietary information, or information that is

At issue: A bill that would forbid secrecy over severance agreements that are funded by public money otherwise exempt from disclosure under FOIA. Kosel, R-New Lenox, filed the bill in response to Metraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refusal last year to reveal details about the generous severance package â&#x20AC;&#x201C; projected up to $718,000 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it gave to former CEO Alex Clifford.

Lawmakers in the House last week passed the bill unanimously, 106-0. State Reps.

Jack Franks, D-Marengo, and Mike Tryon, R-Crystal Lake, were co-sponsors of the bill.

This bill is the latest step in shining light for the public on severance agreements and employment contracts for public employees. For years, many public bodies would try to keep private employment contracts or separation agreements.

One of the most publicized incidents locally involved McHenry County College and former President Walt Packard.

MCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board denied releasing Packardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s separation agreement in 2009, citing the personal privacy exemption.

HOWEVER, THE Illinois Supreme Court â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in an unrelated case â&#x20AC;&#x201C; ruled that public employee contracts are public record and could not be withheld under FOIAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s personal privacy exemption. A week later, Packardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s separation agreement was released.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not sure why government continues to try to keep taxpayers in the dark regarding public

money and public business.

We are happy, however, that lawmakers have taken notice and are working toward better transparency in government.

House Bill 3664 has moved to the state Senate, where Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, is the sponsor. We hope lawmakers in the Senate follow the lead of their colleagues in the House and approve this bill.

Telecommunicators are recognized for the pivotal role they play in public safety. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re typically the first voice anyone hears when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re calling about an emergency, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a police, fire or EMS call.

Most citizens take telecommunicators for granted until they need their assistance. Then that individual becomes the most important person in the world and is a lifeline for the caller. Telecommunicators must be well versed in communication and have the ability to remain calm in very stressful situations.

Their job is oftentimes

Lee County is very fortunate to have an active director (Shelley Dallas) at the Lee County 9-1-1 Center who strives to give them the best and most applicable training available. The center also is blessed with an administrative assistant (Katie Nielsen), who has been immensely valuable on the mapping we all rely upon when calling 9-11, so responders can find you.

We have nine dedicated and professional telecommunicators that work 24/7, 365 days a year. If you see them, please thank them for a job well done.

I know that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of them and would like

to thank them for their years of service: Deb Killian, 20 years; Wendy Seeberg, 17; Julie Morgan, 17; Paula Carlson, 16; Tina Goldie, 13; Laura Enlow, 10; Elizabeth McCoy, 10; Laura Hicks, 9; and Felicia Schauff, first year of service.

A couple of statistics to consider: In 2013, the telecommunicators handled 50,183 phone calls, or 137 a day, and of those calls, 8,292 were 9-1-1 calls, or about 23 per day.

Note to readers: Bradley J. Sibley is chairman of the Lee County Emergency Telephone System Board.

This problem would be worsening, and people would not know about it if he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t continue to do his job. Every taxpayer should be fired up about the goings on with the Coloma Township office.

I applaud Trustee Neal, as I feel he truly wants to find out what is happening and get it corrected.

It appears as if Supervisor Burke is either unable to perform her duties or does not want to.

Any person on the Coloma Township board who took the oath to fulfill the duties and is not doing so should resign immediately. If not, then it is up to us to make sure they are not re-elected.

And to the citizens of Coloma Township, mark your calendars for the next meeting. We all need to pack the place, because it is our money and our duty to make sure the board is doing its job.

Flight takes wing Prairie Aviation Museum begins 30th year

BY ANDREA MILLS amills@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5575

If you go

BLOOMINGTON – Like planes? Then Prairie Aviation Museum is the place to go, with both an inside and outside exhibition area now in its 30th year.

Aircraft are on display in the Chuck Schumacher Aviation Airpark, where visitors have the opportunity to meet those who maintained and flew them.

These volunteers are willing to talk about their experiences and to hear about their guests’ stories as well.

The museum’s exhibits include three helicopters and seven airplanes. Both civilian and military aviation are honored here. There are no limits, as its interests also include space.

“We are one of the few museums that like to have visitors touch and feel the exhibits,” Mike Sallee, community outreach director, said. “Most do not let you get near the exhibits, and they don’t let you look inside to see what it is like to be a pilot.”

For example, the Huey helicopter normally is open, and visitors are welcome to sit inside.

Here is a sample of other aircraft on exhibit: Bell AH-1J SeaCobra: The SeaCobra was used in Vietnam.

BOODY

Sawmill owner’s legacy lives on through projects Lover of lumber passed away from cancer in 2010

BY TONY REID Herald & Review

BOODY (AP) – Tom Curry never had a problem seeing the wood for the trees.

The former UPS driver with a passion for raw lumber drove around all day, nurturing a dream of starting his own sawmill business.

In 2006, he pulled a hard right in pursuit of his goal and started the Curry Sawmill, just off busy Illinois 48 in the very unbusy burg of Boody.

A man who could read a book or watch a video and learn to do pretty much anything, Curry instructed himself on how to run a sawmill. He built a 4,000 board-foot capacity (lumber-speak for pretty huge) drying kiln with the help of his brother-in-law, Chuck Levandoski. He added a suitably massive bandsaw, along with planers and joiners, which would handle a cascade of raw material flowing in from The Mill Tree Service, another business sideline.

Prime boards cut from walnut, oak and hard maple, along with lumber shot through with exotic grain patinations through a decay process called spalting, saw the woodworking fraternity carve a deep path to his door. With eBay as his coast-to-coast marketplace, Curry’s customcut lumber, traveling via UPS (of course) was soon zipping all over the country.

“If it was going full steam right now, just off of eBay alone, he could be doing $2,000 to $4,000 of business a week,” said his stepson,

AP Photo/Herald & Review, Danny Damiani

A large wood carving that reads “The Sawmill” is seen March 27 at the Curry Sawmill in Boody. The sawmill was started in 2006 by Tom Curry, who died of cancer in 2010. His legacy lives on in projects across the country.

Jason Largent, 38, who helped out in the mill.

“He had a great rapport with customers, and people loved to deal with this guy.”

And then Curry, a man with a natural energy overdrive, began to slow down. He would come home feeling even more tired than his punishing sawmill work days warranted. Doctors eventually dianosed pancreatic cancer. He fought it like the former Marine he was, struggling into the mill and planing away at his prize lumber, even as the disease planed away at him.

“He became a shadow of what he used to be,” Largent recalled.

And then he was gone: Tom Curry lost his battle with cancer on Dec. 11, 2010. He was just 45.

In the years since, his brother-in-law, Chuck, who lives in Colorado but visits in the summer, and his son, Largent, stepdaughter, Allison Largent, and Curry’s wife, Grace Curry, all

pitched in here and there to keep the mill sort of hobbling along.

But Colorado is a long way away, and the rest of the family have other lives: Largent is a conductor on the Canadian National Railroad, his

sister is a restaurant cook, and Mom still works in operations for UPS, which is how she met her husband in the fist place. They’ve decided to keep the tree service going, but have also decided that running the

sawmill is just too much.

Curry’s wife hasn’t made up her mind yet whether to try and sell her husband’s dream as a going concern, or just sell off the equipment and then the property.

What cuts the deepest is that none of it was supposed to be this way, which makes the final choice about what to do so hard.

Every time Curry’s widow walks into the sawmill, with its raw wood smells and sawdust, she feels her husband’s presence. The prospect of selling it is to face losing another part of of who he was, acknowledging absence where there should be his energetic presence.

“And I would be retired one day and helping him here,” Grace Curry said, late afternoon light in the empty sawmill gilding the tears in her eyes.

“That was our plan.”

So it’s back to wrestling with the question of what to do with the Curry Sawmill: Sell it piecemeal or as a going concern?

Curry is willing to enter-

tain serious offers and, depending on how serious, they will probably help shape her ultimate decision.

Whatever branch of the road taken, however, she remains glad her husband got to run after his great dream and catch a hold of it for a while.

“We don’t know why he had to pass away, and Lord knows we didn’t want him to, but that wasn’t our decision,” she said. “But I’ll always know, and I’m very happy to know, that he got to run and enjoy his sawmill business. It’s like his parents told me: Forty-five years is a short life, but he got to live a whole big life in that time.”

And it turns out that dealing in wood ingrains its own sense of vicarious immortality: The lumber Tom Curry lovingly cut, dried, planed and prepped with his own hands is now part of exotic floors, décor and heirloom furniture from sea to shining sea.

“Yes, it’s kind of nice to think about that,” Grace Curry said.

Assistantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gruff attitude needs adjusting Dear Abby: How do I deal with an assistant who keeps calling me a â&#x20AC;&#x153;brownnoserâ&#x20AC;??

She did it again yesterday at a staff meeting in front of my boss and another assistant. It was the third time she has said it. She is gruff and rude, and several people have complained to me about her attitude.

Should I address her comments during her next employee evaluation, or would it be better to speak to her privately? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Boss in Lakeland, Fla.

Dear Abby: My wife and I spent a lot of money flying to our grandnephewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar mitzvah.

We stayed in a hotel and spent the weekend celebrating with the family.

During the last event, a Sunday brunch, my wife was approached by her penny-pinching sister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the grandmother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who asked her to co-sponsor the brunch. My wife, who is naive regarding financial matters, agreed without consulting me.

A few days later, we received an email with an amount that is far more than I want to pay. Had

I known in advance, we would have skipped the brunch. How should we proceed? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; On The Hook in Austin

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE

State representative: Vote Elderly bank robber on tax hike likely coming sentenced to prison Move to be coupled with elimination of certain exemptions

BY SCOTT REEDER Illinois News Network

SPRINGFIELD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A member of House Speaker Mike Madiganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership team says there will be a vote to raise taxes before the Legislature adjourns this spring.

State Rep. Frank Mautino, D-Spring Valley, said the General Assembly almost certainly will vote on whether to either extend or make permanent the temporary income tax increase before the end of May. That vote will be coupled with the elimination of certain tax exemptions.

Mautino declined to say what exemptions are being targeted.

But he added that the House Democratic Caucus plans to work with business groups in this major rewrite of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tax code.

In 2011, the General Assembly passed a 67 percent income tax hike, bumping the income tax rate from 3 percent to 5 percent.

That tax hike is slated to expire in January 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Under our budgeting rules, if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass this [increase] now, our only option is to pass a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doomsday budget.â&#x20AC;?

Mautino said.

In addition to making the tax hike permanent and eliminating certain tax exemptions, there will be spending cuts, Mautino said.

But Mautino declined to say what state programs may face cuts.

Mautino is the deputy majority leader and a member of the House Revenue & Finance Committee. He also serves on the Income Tax Subcommittee; the Sales and Other Taxes Subcommittee; and the Tax Policy: Sales Tax Subcommittee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we are doing is looking at redoing the whole tax code in Illinois,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A simple majority in both the House and Senate is needed to pass an extension of the tax hike.

Although Democrats

control both chambers, it is not clear whether there are sufficient votes for passage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know because no one has been pushed yet,â&#x20AC;? he said.

News of the possible tax vote was not warmly received by some Republicans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only solutions Democrats seem to be offering is raising taxes,â&#x20AC;? said Patty Schuh, spokeswoman for GOP Senate leader Christine Radogno. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their last tax increase was passed during a lame duck session in the middle of the night.

It was the largest in Illinois history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a 67 percent income tax increase. They promised that it would be temporary. They promised that it would pay the bills. They promised that it would get Illinois out of debt and balance the budget, and now they want to make their tax increase permanent with the same promises. Why would anyone believe them?â&#x20AC;?

Man spent most of life in prison, was â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;homesickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; MCT News Service

An elderly career criminal who told police heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d robbed a Niles bank because he wanted to go back â&#x20AC;&#x153;homeâ&#x20AC;? to prison was sentenced Thursday to 3½ years behind bars.

Dressed in an orange jail jumpsuit and using a cane for support, Walter Unbehaun, 74, told U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman he was sorry for his crime and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as keen on life behind bars as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d first made out to be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a heck of a life, OK?â&#x20AC;? the balding, grayhaired Unbehaun said in a deep voice. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to die in prison.â&#x20AC;?

Unbehaun, who suffers from dementia, said he hoped to live out his days at a retirement home painting pictures.

In imposing the prison sentence, U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman noted Unbehaunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long history of crimes, some of them violent, and that he used

This Feb. 9 surveillance photo provided by the FBI shows 73-year-old Walter Unbehaun, an ex-convict from Rock Hill., S.C., during a bank robbery in Niles. Unbehaun allegedly told investigators he intended to get caught so he could live his final years behind bars. He was sentenced Thursday to 3½ years behind bars. a loaded gun in the bank robbery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not the first time youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve inspired fear and caused a very dangerous situation for people,â&#x20AC;? the judge said.

Unbehaun pleaded guilty to robbing the Harris Bank branch at 7077 W. Dempster St. in Niles in February 2013.

According to court records, at the time of his arrest, Unbehaun said he had spent most of his adult life in prison and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wanted to go back as he felt more comfortable in

prison than out,â&#x20AC;? according to the complaint.

He also told police that he wanted to spend the remainder of his life in prison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He knew that robbing a bank with a loaded gun would accomplish that,â&#x20AC;? the complaint said.

In a letter to the judge earlier this month, Unbehaun said that at the time he robbed the bank he was desperate and â&#x20AC;&#x153;at the end of my rope.â&#x20AC;? He said he now realizes the value of his freedom.

An artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rendering provided by NASA on Thursday shows an Earth-sized planet dubbed Kepler-186f orbiting a star 500 light-years from Earth. Astronomers say the planet might hold water on its surface, and is the best candidate yet of a habitable planet in the ongoing search for an Earth twin.

NASA finds most Earth-like planet yet in the solar system Scientists: Object might have liquid water, possible life LOS ANGELES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Astronomers have discovered what they say is the most Earth-like planet yet detected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a distant, rocky world thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar in size to our own and exists in the Goldilocks zone where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not too hot and not too cold for life.

The find, announced Thursday, excited planet hunters who have been scouring the Milky Way galaxy for years for potentially habitable places outside our solar system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best case for a habitable planet yet found. The results are absolutely rock-solid,â&#x20AC;?

University of California, Berkeley astronomer Geoff Marcy, who had no role in the discovery, said in an email.

The planet was detected by NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orbiting Kepler telescope, which studies the heavens for

subtle changes in brightness that indicate an orbiting planet is crossing in front of a star.

From those changes, scientists can calculate a planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size and make certain inferences about its makeup.

The newfound object, dubbed Kepler-186f, circles a red dwarf star 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus.

A light-year is almost 6 trillion miles.

The planet is about 10 percent larger than Earth and might very well have liquid water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a key ingredient for life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on its surface, scientists said. That is because it resides at the outer edge of the habitable temperature zone around its star â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sweet spot where lakes, rivers or oceans can exist without freezing solid or boiling away.

The find â&#x20AC;&#x153;is special because we already know that a planet of this size and in the habitable zone is capable of supporting life as we know it,â&#x20AC;? lead researcher Elisa Quintana of NASAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ames Research

Center said at a news conference.

The discovery was detailed in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s issue of the journal Science.

It was based on observations that were made before the Kepler telescope was crippled by a mechanical failure last year.

The planet probably basks in an orange-red glow from its star and is most likely cooler than Earth, with an average temperature slightly above freezing, â&#x20AC;&#x153;similar to dawn or dusk on a spring day,â&#x20AC;? Marcy said.

Quintana said she considers the planet to be more of an â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earth cousinâ&#x20AC;? than a twin because it circles a star that is smaller and dimmer than our sun. While Earth revolves around the sun in 365 days, this planet completes an orbit of its star every 130 days.

Scientists cannot say for certain whether it has an atmosphere, but if it does, it probably contains a lot of carbon dioxide, outside experts said.

THE BIG RED CHURCH First Congregational 311 Second Ave.,

Hearts and Minds A good heart is vastly superior to a powerful intellect, since a powerful intellect wedded to an evil or callous heart is sure to cause lots of suffering.

It would be best to have a good heart wedded to a powerful intellect, but what matters in most cases is the disposition of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, i.e., whether one is inclined to help oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fellows.What usually inclines us to help our fellow creatures and to alleviate their suffering is empathy, and its ability to help us to feel, or at least imagine, what our fellow creatures might be experiencing.

But, there are times when empathy can lead us astray and we need our intellect to help us in determining what we ought to do. Most of us are more moved to action by the plight of some individual we can identify with, the guy on the side of the road trying to change his tire, or the single mother trying to raise money to pay for her sick childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s medical care. But, when it comes to helping people halfway around the world, refugees from Syria or starving people in Africa, our empathy often fails to be engaged, and there we may need to appeal to reason. God gave us hearts and minds, and we should use them both. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Christopher Simon â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.â&#x20AC;?

ECONOMY

Illinois jobless rate drops to 5-year-low

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

The 480,000-square-foot facility in downtown Sterling sold for $87,500 to a sixperson investment group led by John Dziedzic of Ashton.

Sale scheduled to close in 30 days CENTERS

CONTINUED FROM A1

Burns got back on the phone and returned to announce that the bid of $87,500 had been accepted.

The space in the massive structure will be parceled among the investors for their own projects, Dziedzic said.

He declined to talk specifically about the projects, saying they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet sure which ones they would pursue in the space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all grew up in Chi-

cago, and then moved here,â&#x20AC;? Dziedzic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone has their projects.â&#x20AC;?

The taxes are estimated to be about $4,200 a year.

The sale is scheduled to close in about 30 days.

Both Burns and King were disappointed about the selling price. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they stole this building; it was a great price,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If this were Chicago, they would have been lined up to turn this into condos.â&#x20AC;?

Despite what the bidders implied, this wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be free money for the nonprofit, King said.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had to pay to put all this together, and for some maintenance after they acquired it,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been free for them.â&#x20AC;?

Although he is excited about acquiring the building, Dziedzic said he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happy about the bigger implications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sad day for America and Sterling when a beautiful commercial building with 480,000 square feet is sold for less than 17 cents a square foot,â&#x20AC;? Dziedzic said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The potential is there, and I assure you it will be utilized to its maximum.â&#x20AC;?

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Unemployment in Illinois dropped in March to 8.4 percent, the lowest level since 2009, the state Department of Employment Security said Thursday.

Unemployment was down from 8.7 percent in February. But the department noted that new-job creation was still down for the month by about 3,200 jobs. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a drop of less than 1 percent.

Still, department Director Jay Rowell called the drop encouraging. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drop in the unemployment rate highlights significant progress in our state,â&#x20AC;?

Rowell said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our monthly numbers will continue to show uneven but measurable progress.â&#x20AC;?

He said the monthly data showed signs that consumer confidence, a key driver of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy, was improving. The Conference Board, the private group that tracks consumer confidence, said late last month that Americans were growing more optimistic about the economy.

Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; jobless rate hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been as low as 8.4 percent since January 2009. But the state still has one of the highest

rates in the country.

March unemployment rates for all 50 states arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet available from the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, but in February only one state had a higher level of unemployment than Illinois. That was Rhode Island at 9 percent.

Leisure and hospitality employers led Marchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s improvement. They added a net 4,300 jobs.

Information-related companies added 1,300 jobs.

Construction companies cut their employment by 2,800 jobs and professional and business services firms cut a net 2,100 positions.

NBA | BULLS

Teams linked on long road Bulls, Wizards both began in Brazil

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

ABOVE: Dixon’s Katie Provo (3) fires a pass upfield in front of Sterling’s Emily Thayer (30) during Thursday’s NIB-12 West match at Roscoe Eades Stadium. The Duchesses beat the Golden Warriors 3-1.

BELOW: Sterling’s Natalie Herrera (2) sizes up Dixon defender Kirsten DeArvil during the first half Thursday.

The best laid plans

In October, as youth futebol matches on grass fields and tennis matches on clay courts hummed along outside, the Bulls and Wizards practiced inside Rio de Janeiro’s Ginasio Helio Mauricio.

The tiny gym, with red paint peeling off its unadorned door, might have suggested nothing spectacular to most.

“I absolutely love the facility,” coach Tom Thibodeau gushed then. “The floor is great. It just has that old-school feel to it. Players always love to play and practice in those environments. When we walked in, everybody was excited.”

From that preseason experience as part of the NBA’s Global Games initiative to now, the Bulls and Wizards remain linked.

Freshman leads Dixon past Warrior defense

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550

STERLING – Dixon forward Lauren Chacon didn’t know it, but people were talking behind her back.

The Sterling girls soccer team was the culprit, as it talked about ways to defend Chacon before the two teams met Thursday in a Northern Illinois Big-12 West match. The Golden Warriors stressed having a game plan to shut down the Duchesses’ talented freshman because of what she can do with and without the ball.

Chacon dazzles with speed and shifty footwork, and has an innate ability to find the back

The zeroes keep coming Blackhawks, Blues play on late into night

BY CHRIS HINE Chicago Tribune

two overtimes, the Blues and Hawks were tied 3-3 – before Alexander Steen’s goal early in the third OT gave the Blues a 4-3 win.

Blues center Jaden Schwartz beat Corey Crawford, who had made a number of spectacular saves throughout the night, to tie the game at 18:15 in the third period.

Both Toews and Kane said before Thursday’s game that they were anxious to take the ice. That much showed in the first period, with Toews assisting Kane on a breakaway goal at

18:24 to break a 2-2 tie. Kane flicked the puck past Ryan Miller from in close for a seemingly easy goal.

“I’m excited. I’m as confident as ever,” Toews said.

“I don’t feel like I’ve lost out on anything not playing these games the last couple of weeks. I think it’s going to help me in the long run.”

The Blues struck first, with Adam Cracknell pushing a rebound into the net at 4:40 to score the first goal and send the Scottrade Center crowd into a tizzy.

The Blues’ Chris Porter (middle) loses possession of the puck as he is sandwiched between the Blackhawks’ Niklas Hjalmarsson (left) and linesman Matt MacPherson during Game 1 of their opening-round playoff series Thursday in St. Louis. The teams played through two overtimes in a 3-3 tie, and we not finished at press time.

SPORTS inside

ST. LOUIS – The long wait is over. The chatter can end.

Patrick Kane was back on the ice. So was Jonathan Toews. The Blackhawks are back at full strength, at least in terms of bodies, as they took on the Blues in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs at the Scottrade Center.

The only question that remains is just how good the Hawks will be. The answer began Thursday, and after three periods and

But the Blackhawks struck back with two consecutive goals. First, Johnny Oduya fired a shot from the left wing that beat Blues goaltender Ryan Miller at 11:13.

Kris Versteeg made a heady play on an assist on the Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next goal, which came on their first power play of the night.

A patient Versteeg skated with the puck behind the net until he found a streaking Brent Seabrook for a one-timer goal at 14:39.

The Blues didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to tie it up, after Vladimir Tarasenko took a crisp pass in the slot from Kevin Shattenkirk and fired a shot past Corey Crawford to tie the score 2-2 at 15:52.

The Blackhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Johnny Oduya celebrates after scoring during the first period in Game 1 against the Blues on Thursday in St. Louis.

Hawks held the Blues to just three shots.

After Schwartzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal tied it, the Hawks had a power play in overtime after Vladimir Sobotka flipped the puck into the stands, but they could not capitalize. In the first overtime, the Hawks outshot the Blues 14-9; the Blues turned the tables and outshot the Blackhawks 13-7 in the second OT, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

finish it off.

Kane is wearing a brace to protect his injured left knee, but said that shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a hindrance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think you kind of get used to it as you start playing and skating with it,â&#x20AC;? Kane said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I skated probably eight or nine times before tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty used to it.â&#x20AC;?

While the Hawks are

fully healthy, the Blues arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. They were without forwards T.J. Oshie and Patrik Berglund, both with upper body injuries. Oshie did participate in Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s morning skate.

But in a surprise, one of their top scorers, Tarasenko, played for the first time after undergoing hand surgery that has kept him out since March 15.

Come Sunday night at United Center, the stage will be grander.

The stakes will be higher.

But the excitement remains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As competitors, the playoffs are what you want,â&#x20AC;? Joakim Noah said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be in this position is definitely a blessing. But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not satisfied.â&#x20AC;?

Neither are the Wizards, who are the only Eastern Conference team to win the season series from the Bulls. They won twice in January over 5 days shortly after the Bulls traded Luol Deng, and then were blown out at home earlier this month in a game Nene missed with an injury.

Though plenty of talk has surfaced about the Bulls avoiding the Nets in the first round, genuine respect abounds for the Wizards. The series will feature two of the mere five Eastern Conference teams to post winning road records. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to play well,â&#x20AC;? guard Kirk Hinrich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel confident with where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played some good basketball and showed we can deal with adversity. And we have a lot of guys who have been here before. But Washington is tough. They earned their spot.â&#x20AC;?

The Wizards thrive in playing up-tempo, with a transition offense led by the speed and dynamic talent of John Wall.

En route to posting career-high averages with 19.3 points and 8.8 assists, Wall played in his first All-Star Game this season as a

Hinrich spent part of Wallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rookie season with the Wizards after the Bulls traded him in the summer of 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he came into the league, he was a very talented, good player,â&#x20AC;? Hinrich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now, with just the natural maturation, he has gotten to All-Star level. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great player and great guy. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy for him.â&#x20AC;?

Hinrich will be happier if he can slow Wall down, which is no easy task. But then again, nothing has been easy this season for the Bulls, who lost Derrick Rose early to a season-ending knee injury and then Deng to a trade.

In the tough-minded culture of this organization, expectations never changed.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if we had Derrick, there was going to be a period of adjustment with him coming back after 2 years off,â&#x20AC;?

Thibodeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Luol piece was a big piece. Jo and Jimmy [Butler] were hurt at the beginning of the season. So there were a lot of variables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought around January we settled down. Of course the pickup of D.J. [Augustin] was huge for us. We got a good rhythm going. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of what the team did. A lot of people thought that it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work out the way it did. These guys fought with great determination and great will, and responded to the challenge.â&#x20AC;?

A repeat bid and different day

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

George Saunders, who is a professor at Syracuse University and has won the National Magazine Award for fiction four times, said, “I’m always aware of writing around things I can’t do, and I’ve come to think that that’s actually what ‘style’ is – an avoidance of your deficiencies.”

A publisher once told me always to write about things that I know. He and Saunders are clearly in agreement.

Over the last three days, we have looked at the overcalls that vary in meaning when made in the fourth seat instead of the second seat.

A one-no-trump overcall is weak, not strong; a single jump overcall in a suit is intermediate, not weak; and a twono-trump overcall is natural,

not unusual – as in today’s deal.

South’s balancing jump to two no-trump showed a balanced hand with some 20-21 points (or slightly fewer points

with a good six-card minor).

North might have advanced with three clubs, Stayman, to look for a 4-4 spade fit.

After West leads the heart queen, how should South plan the play?

Declarer has six top tricks: two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. If South immediately concedes a club, West will clear hearts and defeat the contract when in with the spade ace.

As West is marked with the spade ace from his opening bid, South should start with a low spade from his hand. If West goes in with the ace, declarer has nine tricks via three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. If West ducks, South wins with dummy’s spade king and switches to clubs. This time, he takes one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and four clubs. © 2014 UFS

Dixon controls second half PLANS

CONTINUED FROM B1

The two teams played each other recently, on April 12 during the Princeton Invitational.

Dixon won 2-0, but Cebula used the match as a platform to glean information about the Duchesses in a rare opportunity to play each other without conference standing implications.

It was then when he noticed he had to incorporate a plan against Chacon.

“We started off playing a shadow defender marking [Chacon],” Cebula said.

“It was nice to be able to game-plan for them at the tournament.”

Still, Chacon had a part in each of Dixon’s three goals. She netted two goals, one in each half, and added an assist in the win.

Her first goal came early in the first half, when she broke free of the extra defensive attention with 33:20 remaining and pounded home a loose rebound that teammate Katie Provo initially shot on net.

The goal was part of an offensive wave, as Dixon’s offense controlled the possession early and was able to squeeze off five shots on net in the first before Sterling (5-6-1 overall, 1-2 NIB-12 West) tightened up.

Defenders Emily Thayer and Kalie Conklen shielded goalkeeper Erica Armstrong from facing any more tough shots, and Sterling entered halftime with a manageable 1-0 deficit.

“Sterling dominated much of the first half in the midfield and defensively,” Dixon coach Mahmoud Etemadi said. “We knew they were a good team and have good talent, we just had to block those talents.”

BELOW: Sterling’s Taylor Hendrix heads the ball upfield during the first half Thursday in Sterling.

The Duchesses (8-3, 2-1) were able to do that in the second half, as they peppered Armstrong with eight shots on goal.

Provo used her electric speed to pressure Sterling’s defenders, and though she didn’t factor into the score sheet, she uncorked four of Dixon’s eight second-half shots.

“Provo was damaging their defense all over the place,” Etemadi said. “We tried to build on what she was doing.”

They did.

Dixon opened up a 2-0 lead when Chacon assisted on a Caitlin Rozek goal in the 49th minute.

Natalie Herrera scored for Sterling with 4:43 remaining to cut the deficit to 2-1 and spark the Warriors, but it was short lived, as Rozek and Chacon would hook up again. This time, Rozek

assisted on Chacon’s goal with 1:15 left.

“Our goal got us in the game for another few minutes,” Cebula said, “but we weren’t able to respond how we wanted to.”
