Older boy gets 5 years probation Sentence includes 200 hours of public service

STERLING – The older of two half-brothers who started a fire that devastated down-

town Prophetstown in July was sentenced Tuesday to 5 years of probation.

The boy, now 17, was 16 when he and his 12-year-old half-brother left their father’s

house in the middle of the night July 15 and set fires in recycling bins around downtown Prophetstown. A fire started behind Cindy Jean’s Restaurant spread, destroy-

ing eight buildings, damaging two others, and leaving more than half a dozen people homeless.

Investing sweat equity for kids Invenergy confirms plant timeline

First-quarter open envisioned, with 24 full-time workers

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

NELSON – Invenergy on Tuesday confirmed that its Nelson Energy Plant is on schedule to go online early next year.

The natural gas-fired power generation plant has a capacity of 584 megawatts. One megawatt of power provides enough energy for about 1,000 homes.

“We’re pleased to report that construction activity is progressing well at the Nelson Energy Plant, with plant completion expected in the first quarter of 2015,” Invenergy spokeswoman Alissa Krinsky said.

About 200 construction workers are at the 165-acre plant site at 1311 Nelson Road, south of Rock Island Road, the company said.

Staffing numbers at the plant, which previously had been estimates, have been set at 24 fulltime jobs when production begins, Krinsky said.

The plant has officials in both Lee and Whiteside counties excited about the tax revenues it will bring.

The plant probably won’t be fully assessed until the end of 2016.

But when it is, it could become the biggest taxpayer in Lee County, according to John Thompson, Lee County Industrial Development Association president and CEO.

ILLINOIS | IMMIGRATION

GOP leaders support reform House Speaker among high-profile Republicans CHICAGO (AP) – Some of Illinois’ highest-profile Republicans voiced support Tuesday for an immigration overhaul that’s stalled in the U.S. House as a “morally right� and businessminded decision, an election-year move they hoped would help break the stalemate.

The unusual gathering – even for a state that has some of the nation’s most immigrant-friendly laws – featured former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert, former Gov. Jim Edgar, Republican state House and Senate leaders, and several candidates, including state Sen. Jim Oberweis, a U.S. Senate hopeful who has made divisive statements in the past about immigrants.

Organizers said the GOP support, echoed in similar gatherings nationwide, indicated there’s been movement and Illinois could help bring legislation lead to a vote soon.

Half of the state’s six Republican congressmen support Tues day’s efforts. However, some political experts and members of Illinois’ active immigrant rights groups said the event was more of an attempt to win over immigrant and minority voters ahead of some likely tight elections this year.

The message among Republicans at Tuesday’s event – which included business

‘‘

There’s an acceptance by Republicans in Illinois that immigration reform will help the economy. That there is a moral urgency. That is political suicide to stay on the wrong side of the issue.

’’

Joshua Hoyt, director of the National Partnership for New Americans

executives and Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner – was pushing forward with comprehensive plans that address all immigrants. Most said they’d support pending legislation that tightens border security and outlines a pathway to citizenship for the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S illegally. “There’s a lot of folks that came here that aren’t under documentation, and they need to be a part of this nation,� Hastert said. “We need to be able to give them legitimacy.�

A shift was clearest with Oberweis, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat who helped craft the legislation. In 2004, Oberweis released a campaign commercial in which he flew over Soldier Field warning that enough “illegal aliens� were entering the country daily to fill its seats. “It was poorly done,�

Oberweis told reporters. “Certainly, 10 years ago I was very naive and not knowledgeable about politics, and I made some mistakes.�

He and other Republicans said they didn’t back all parts of the legislation, but organizers said their support would still help. “It shows just far how debate this has moved,� said Joshua Hoyt, director of the National Partnership for New Americans. “There’s an acceptance

by Republicans in Illinois that immigration reform will help the economy. That there is a moral urgency. That it is political suicide to stay on the wrong side of issue.�

Recent statistics for how many of Illinois’ registered voters are immigrants were unavailable, but the number hovered around 10 percent, according to an analysis of 2008 U.S. Census data by Chicago demographer Rob Paral. He said the figure is higher now as immigrants have propped up population growth across the state.

The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights registered more than 150,000 voters – including naturalized citizens and children of immigrants – in the past decade.

Work on new street lights put on hold IDOT wants to wait for environmental studies " Y 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

OREGON – No work will be done this year on the city’s downtown project.

City Street Superintendent Mike Bowers said the Illinois Department of Transportation has

delayed work to allow time for environmental studies. Bids for the project most likely will be let in January or spring 2015, Bowers said.

The state in January 2013 awarded Oregon $525,760 from an Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program grant. It was part of

$50 million announced for 54 projects statewide.

The Oregon project is expected to cost $657,202 for new street lights, sidewalks, curbs and gutters for the downtown historic commercial district.

The project will include 19 new street lights and poles along both sides of

state Route 2 from Jefferson Street to Franklin Street, and new curbs and gutters and sidewalk on the east side of Route 2 in the 100 block south of state Route 64 and on both sides north of Route 64.

City officials began updating those elements of the business district in

2002 in conjunction with IDOT projects along Route 64 (Washington Street).

Since then, the city has done smaller projects as financing allowed, completing Route 64 lighting and most of the curbs and gutter sand sidewalks from Second Street to Sixth Street.

“This is disappointing, since we were ready to get started on this project this year,� Bowers said, “but we will keep the business owners and residents informed of our progress and the start date for construction, as soon as we can determine when it will be.�

Soundproofed room is volunteers’ top priority APRIL

CONTINUED FROM A1

The club is providing a lot of the funding, as well as the sweat equity needed for the center’s big move.

On Tuesday, the guys who showed up were building new door frames and laying down the groundwork for a new, soundproofed wall, which will create a separate room where officers and the state’s attorney will watch the videotaped interviews conducted by Hager.

The victim’s family members will be in a separate room, also soundproofed, where they’ll watch movies, play games, and just wait until Hager’s job is done.

But on this Tuesday, the volunteers zeroed in on that one wall, as well as the doorframes, which have to be newly shaped to fit doors that meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements.

Gary Schopt is acting as a sort of liaison for the whole project, and Marv Lofgren, a former club member and retired contractor, is leading the charge when it comes to the technical stuff, like building and soundproofing a wall.

Last summer, the center faced closure because of a lack of grants and a downturn in donations.

Since then, however,

LEFT: Twin Cities Sunrise Rotary Club volunteers Marv Lofgren (left) and Steve Majewski install a ceiling joist at the new April House. its fortune has turned, thanks in large part ot a $12,500 United Way grant, and a private donor who sought to match it.

The next step to ensuring the center’s future lies in its move from its current yellow house location to the more modern gray house next door.

Modernizing the center’s location would make it eligible for other grants, specifically a large one from the attorney general’s office, which the center had relied on for years.

The gray house, though

more modern than its 100-year-old neighbor, is not without its faults. It, too, required an extensive upgrade, which is where the Twin Cities Sunrise Rotary Club came in.

Back in November, Hager gave a presentation at one of the club’s meetings. When members heard of its plight, and understood just how important the center was to the community, they were immediately interested in helping, Schopt said. “The overlying motto of rotary is ‘Service above

self,’ and that’s really what this is all about,�

Schopt said. “This is something that, obviously it takes a little bit of skill to do it, but it’s primarily just a matter of being willing to give your time to a worthwhile project.

And this is certainly a worthwhile project.�

Schopt said he expects the home’s renovation

to be completed within the next few weeks. Next Wednesday, volunteers will install the ADA-compliant doors, he said.

There’s just one more thing April House needs: a new video system to record the victim’s interviews, and the wiring system to go along with it. “What’s critical in this whole process is that video replaces the need for the

child to appear in court,�

Schopt said, “so the child doesn’t have to face the assailant, and yet the message still gets across.�

The system currently used in the yellow house is out-of-date, but there’s no way they’re going to be able to afford a new one, Whiteside County State’s Attorney Trish Joyce said – not without some help, at least.

Boy was off his medication PROBATION

The fire erupted around 2:30 a.m. in the 300 block of Washington Street, which is the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main street and the heart of its historic downtown business district.

The buildings were about 150 years old and housed business such as Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Variety Store, Twisted Scissors salon, Kimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Monograms, and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s historical society.

Just before being sentenced Tuesday, the boy stood from his seat in the courtroom to offer a statement, the first time heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done so in court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know what to say,â&#x20AC;? he said, breaking down into tears. His mother, father and grandmother, seated on a bench behind him, were crying as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really sorry for what I did, and I changed my life around, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll

work as hard as I can to pay everything off,â&#x20AC;? he continued.

As part of his probation terms, the 17-year-old will not be allowed to possess lighters, matches or incendiary devices, nor will he be allowed to have unsupervised contact with his half-brother.

He also will be required to do 200 hours of public service work, and will have a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., when he is not to leave his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house without her supervision, except for church-related obligations.

During the sentencing hearing, Whiteside County Assistant Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Carol Linkowski raised concerns about the boy staying in his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care in Wisconsin. Linkowski noted how the boy had seen a psychiatrist to address the issues he was having in school and with his family, and last April was prescribed a medica-

tion for the treatment of bipolar disorder.

Linkowski said, and his mother confessed, that in May the boy had stopped taking the medication without his doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission. Free of medication, the boy went to stay with his father for the summer in Prophetstown. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a big medicine fan,â&#x20AC;? the boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother said. After being questioned by Judge Bill McNeal, she elaborated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the same person,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was always tired. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to do anything. ... After a while, you give up on going to see doctor after doctor after doctor, if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing nothing, just giving him the same medication in different doses.â&#x20AC;?

As part of the sentencing terms, McNeal said, the boy must be evaulated by a psychiatrist and a psychologist, in

Schools would McCullough appealing murder conviction get bulk of taxes Documents brought DEKALB

to hearing were not allowed in 2012 trial

BY ANDREA AZZO AAZZO SHAWMEDIA COM

SYCAMORE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jack McCullough brought a box of FBI documents to his sentencing hearing for the killing of Maria Ridulph that he said prove his innocence, and in his appeal he contends they should have been admitted as evidence in his trial.

The reports, compiled by FBI investigators as they sought leads in finding the person who abducted and killed 7-year-old Maria in 1957, were not allowed

in McCulloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trial in 2012. Judge James Hallock agreed with prosecutors that they were based on hearsay and contained no observations from investigators. McCullough has long contended that they show he was in Rockford at the time.

The disallowed documents are one of four main reasons McCullough and his defense lawyer Paul Glaser contend McCulloughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2012 conviction and life sentence for the kidnapping, abduction and murder of Ridulph were unfair.

In the appeal, filed in Illinois Second District Appellate Court in

Elgin, Glaser said the evidence at trial was insufficient to prove a guilty verdic,. Glaser said that Hallock erred in refusing to allow defense evidence that would have proved an alibi, that some of prosecutorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evidence shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been admitted, and that the convictions for kidnapping and abduction charges violate the oneact, one-crime rule.

Key testimony by Kathy Chapman, Ridulphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s childhood friend, identified McCullough, then known as John Tessier, as the man who was with Ridulph at the intersection of Center Cross Street

and Archie Place in Sycamore when she was last seen. The man introduced himself as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnnyâ&#x20AC;? to the girls.

McCullough, 74, was sentenced in December 2012 after a 5-day bench trial in September. He was arrested in 2011 in Seattle, where he had moved and changed his name.

Authorities said Ridulph and Chapman were playing at a street corner Dec. 3, 1957, when a man offered the girls a piggyback ride. Ridulph agreed to the piggyback ride, but Chapman ran home to get mittens. When she came back, both Ridulph and the man were gone.

More space for big equipment in Oregon New building on the way for highway department

BY CHRIS JOHNSON cxjohnson@shawnews.com 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

OREGON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Crews are busy building shelter from the elements for the Ogle County Highway Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heavy equipment.

The 13,500-squarefoot building, at department headquarters at 1989 Illinois Route 2 South, will have a concrete foundation and steel frame. It will store heavy equipment, some of which has been sitting outside.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have shelter for equipment, it does not last as long,â&#x20AC;?

County Engineer Curtis Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This building will allow us to store everything inside and make the equipment last.â&#x20AC;?

The existing storage building, built in 1967, is a tight fit for equipment.

The new building will make it easier to park the equipment and provide better access. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The old building was built for smaller trucks,â&#x20AC;?

Cook said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The road

graders can barely get in.â&#x20AC;?

They will be moved to the new building when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready, which Cook said is expected to be by July 1.

The dump trucks will remain in the original building.

Cook said that when the building is completed, parking areas will be redone to ensure that water drains away from the buildings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parking lot is a mess with all the cuts in it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am looking forward to getting the project completed.â&#x20AC;?

IN BRIEF

Study: Minority kids hit hardest by law

Kindergarten open for visits Tuesday

Juveniles accused of most serious crimes required to be charged as adults It also found that 54 percent of the defendants whose cases were automatically transferred to adult court ultimately pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have triggered such a transfer in the first place.

By leaving juvenile court, the authors concluded, the defendants lose their best chance at rehabilitation and often go to prison with adults; later, they have higher recidivism rates for violent crime.

The group used the study to draw attention to legislation in the General Assembly that would eliminate the automatic transferring of the most serious juvenile cases to adult court and give judges more decision-making authority based on a hearing that examines a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstances, among

them a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s age, education, mental and physical health and level of participation in the crime.

Illinois is among 14 states that have automatic transfer laws.

Enacted in 1982, Illinois requires juveniles ages 15 to 17 years old who are charged with crimes such as murder, armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated criminal sexual assault, and aggravated battery with a firearm to be tried as adults. Once charged as an adult, a juvenile who is later charged with another crime must always appear in adult court, no matter the crime.

Juvenile Justice Initiative President Elizabeth Clarke said such cases often unfold in the same way: A juvenile is questioned by police without a lawyer, makes a state-

Before the House Judiciary Committee backed the legislation last month, officials from the Cook County Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office testified against it.

Rep. Dennis Reboletti, an Elmhurst Republican and former prosecutor, opposes eliminating automatic transfers because of the seriousness of the crime. Juveniles can only be incarcerated until age 21, so a murder would not be properly punished, he said.

GR A

SPRINGFIELD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A 32-year-old Illinois law that requires juveniles accused of the most serious crimes to be charged as adults might be discriminatory, prevents judges from exercising their judgment, and makes it more likely that those who are convicted will commit violent crimes in the future, according to a study released Tuesday.

The nonpartisan Juvenile Justice Initiative reviewed 257 Cook County cases from 2010 to 2012 involving juveniles who were automatically charged as adults in accordance with the state law. One of those cases involved a non-minority defendant. Eighty-three percent of the defendants were black, and 16 percent were Hispanic.

Most came from Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s west and south sides, according to the study.

Wherefore art thou, Shakespeare?

On Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 450th birthday, fewer college students study his works DANIEL BURNETT Washington, D.C.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?

Sorry, Juliet. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to find on many college campuses.

Today is accepted as William Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday, and on the Bardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 450th, American higher education gives him about as much love as the Capulets gave the Montagues.

Many top American universities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require students to study Shakespeare. Think thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bad? Many donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even require a Shakespeare course of their English majors.

Right here in Illinois, University of Illinois students arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t required to take a course on Shakespeare. Not even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re English majors.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. Arguably the greatest figure in English literature, who forever transformed theater, influenced great thinkers, and shaped the English language by inventing or popularizing now-common vocabulary, is being forgotten on college campuses.

Where would we be

us to maturity. It is simply reckless when colleges donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t require such meaningful, fundamental courses.

Employers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; another word popularized by the Bard â&#x20AC;&#x201C; understand this.

It is not by chance that Shakespeare was with Nelson Mandela on Robben Island, and that a copy sat on Abraham Lincolnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk.

Daniel Burnett

without words like swagger? Or eyeball? Or puppy dog? Or kitchen wench!

The reason for this wretched state of affairs is that students are routinely allowed to graduate with huge gaps in their skills and knowledge. According to the What Will They Learn? study (www.whatwilltheylearn.com), just 38 percent of institutions require even a single college-level course in literature.

AND SHAKESPEARE is not the only one vanishing from the minds of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college students.

Only 3 percent of institutions require economics, and just 18 percent require a basic course in American history or government.

The results are distressing, to say the least. A recent survey found that only 17 percent of college graduates â&#x20AC;&#x201C; graduates! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knew the effect of the Emancipation Proclamation, just 42 percent knew the Battle of the Bulge was fought during World War II, and not

In some cases, not even that.

The serious study of the liberal arts summons

ACCORDING TO THE Association of American Colleges & Universities, 80 percent of employers believe all college students should acquire broad knowledge in the liberal arts and sciences, regardless of major.

A graduateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diploma must be more than a receipt for the tens of thousands of dollars spent on a college education.

It must be indicative of a student who has been educated not only in his field of study, but in basic subjects that a college degree implies.

Too many colleges snap up tuition checks and shuffle students through to graduation without instilling the core skills and knowledge the American people expect of a college graduate.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simply obscene and disgraceful.

Two more words for which you can thank the Bard.

Much to the chagrin of many local officials, Sauk Valley Media (SVM) pounded away at the truth, upsetting official after official while providing the voters very important information on how their tax dollars were being spent and their elected officials really acted behind closed doors and in the public.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of this zealous, yet fair and unbiased approach that SVM has used to date, that I express my disappointment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a

disappointment that runs deep and goes unabated even today.

Biden: Russia must â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;stop talking and start actingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; White House announces $8M in military aid

AP

Passengers from the Sewol, a South Korean ferry sinking off South Koreaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southern coast, are rescued April 16 by South Korean Coast Guard personnel in the water off the southern coast near Jindo, south of Seoul.

Acts of bravery emerge from pilloried ship crew Passengers recall moments of quiety bravery MOKPO, South Korea (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As the ferry sank, some crew members gave their lifejackets to passengers. One refused to leave until she shepherded students off the ship, and was later found dead.

Others worked from rescue boats to break windows with hammers and pull people trapped in cabins to safety.

Nearly a week after the sinking of the South Korean ferry, with rising outrage over a death count that could eventually top 300, the public verdict against the crew of the Sewol has been savage and quick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cowards!â&#x20AC;? social media users howled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unforgivable, murderous,â&#x20AC;? President Park Geun-hye said Monday of the captain and some crew.

Some fled the ferry, including the captain, but not all. At least seven of the 29 crew members are missing or dead, and several of those who survived stayed on or near the ship to help passengers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His last words were, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on my way to save the kids,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Ahn So-hyun told reporters of what her husband, missing crew member Yang Dae-hong, told her by cellphone as the ship began to sink April 16. He was referring to the 323 high school students on the ferry,

which was carrying a total of 476 people.

More than 100 people are confirmed dead, and nearly 200 more are still missing. Relatives, as well as many other South Koreans, are enraged, lashing out at what they see as a botched rescue operation and, most vehemently, at the captain. He and two crew members have been arrested, accused of negligence and abandoning people in need. Six other crew members have been detained â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two of them on Tuesday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though prosecutors have yet to obtain arrest warrants for them.

Captain Lee Joon-seok told passengers to stay in their cabins as the ferry listed and filled with water, then took at least half an hour to order an evacuation and apparently escaped on one of the first rescue boats.

But passengers recall moments of quiet bravery from the crew.

Passenger Koo Bon-hee, 36, told The Associated Press that there were not enough life jackets for everyone in the area on the third floor where he and others waited. So crew members â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two men and two women â&#x20AC;&#x201C; didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear any, so that all the passengers could have one.

One of the first bodies recovered after the ferry sank was 22-year-old

crew member Park Jiyoung, who helped students evacuate until the last minute, even though she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wearing a life vest, South Korean media reported. Witnesses told Yonhap news agency that she told students that crew members must stay on the ship until everyone else leaves, and that she would follow them after helping passengers.

Crew members describe a rending dilemma as the ship went down. The late evacuation order meant that by the time the crew got off the bridge, the tilt of the ship was so great they could barely walk, let alone rescue passengers. Should they flee the sinking ship or risk their lives to save others trapped below?

Oh Yong-seok, a 57-yearold helmsman, said he and four crew members worked from nearby boats to smash windows on the sinking ferry, dragging six passengers stuck in cabins to safety.

Oh said that a first mate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who is detained â&#x20AC;&#x201C; used his knowledge of the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layout to help direct rescuers as they worked to pull passengers off onto rescue boats. He said he and his colleagues remained at sea trying to help until an official who appeared to be from the coast guard asked them to head to land.

KIEV, Ukraine (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; U.S. Vice President Joe Biden warned Russia on Tuesday that â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to stop talking and start actingâ&#x20AC;? to reduce tension in Ukraine, offering a show of support for the besieged nation as an international agreement aimed at stemming its ongoing crisis appeared in doubt.

Standing alongside acting Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, Biden called on Moscow to encourage pro-Russia separatists in eastern Ukraine to vacate government buildings and checkpoints, accept amnesty and â&#x20AC;&#x153;address their grievances politically.â&#x20AC;?

Biden said Russia needs to act â&#x20AC;&#x153;without delay,â&#x20AC;? adding, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will not allow this to become an open-ended process.â&#x20AC;?

Yatsenyuk was harsher in his characterization of Russia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No country should be able to behave like an armed bandit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Russia should stick to its international commitments and obligations. They should not behave as gangsters in the modern century.â&#x20AC;?

The U.S. has warned that it will quickly order new economic sanctions on Russian officials and entities if Moscow doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t follow through on the provisions in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accord.

Moscow has rejected charges that it was behind the troubles in eastern Ukraine and that it has failed to live up to the Geneva agree-

Officials there have decried â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultimatumsâ&#x20AC;? from the West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before putting forth ultimatums to us, demanding fulfillment of something within 2-3 days or otherwise be threatened with sanctions, we would urgently call on our American partners to fully recognize responsibility for those whom they brought to power and whom they are trying to shield, closing their eyes to the outrages created by this regime and by the fighters on whom this regime leans,â&#x20AC;? Russiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.

Biden also announced the United States will provide an additional $50 million to help Ukraineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beleaguered government with political and economic reforms.

The money includes $11 million to help conduct the May 25 presidential election, including voter education, administration and oversight. It also will help fund expert teams from U.S. gov-

The White House also announced $8 million in nonlethal military assistance for the Ukrainian armed forces, including bomb-disposal equipment, communications gear and vehicles.

In the most high-level visit of a U.S. official since the crisis erupted, Biden met privately with Yatsenyuk and acting Ukrainian President Oleksandr Turchynov. He also met with democracy activists and spoke to TV cameras to tell the people of eastern Ukraine he had urged the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders to keep reaching out to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the men and women who hide behind masks and unmarked uniforms, they do not speak for you,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All are welcome as equals in shaping a new Ukraine.

Coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sex life is all about the numbers Dear Abby: I have been married to a wonderful man for 30 years. Our marriage may not be perfect, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite good.

My dilemma is this: My husband keeps track of every time we have sex and has a personal goal of 100 times a year. In 2013, he informed me that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d had sex only 76 times, and that was not adequate for him. He was quite upset about it.

Do you think tracking your sex life is normal, and what do you think about a couple married for 30-plus years having sex 76 times in a year? Is that normal? Also, keep in mind that he travels for business and is gone

have had sex, the quality of the experience should be more important. Fifty GREAT times a year would be better than 100 so-so times, one would think. And no, I do not think your husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s preoccupation is normal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever normal is these days.

thought weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d wait until after the first trimester to â&#x20AC;&#x153;announce.â&#x20AC;? But what is the proper way to do it when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not actually I who is expecting? And is there etiquette for having a baby shower in this situation?

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited and proud of this opportunity, but it takes a lot of explaining for people to understand and not be judgmental.

This is the closest weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll ever get to experiencing pregnancy, and I want to enjoy it to the fullest. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Modern Mom-To-Be in Washington Dear Mom-To-Be: Congratulations on your pregnancy. Because it

takes explaining, I recommend you share the happy news with your family and close friends by telling them in person.

That way, you can answer any questions they may have directly. When you want â&#x20AC;&#x153;the worldâ&#x20AC;? to know, you may decide to send a mass email or post photos on the Internet.

As to having a baby shower â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because this is a happy event you are celebrating, and you will need things for the baby, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure a friend will want to host one for you. Be sure to include your sister-inlaw, if she would like to attend.

Dear Abby: My 18-year-

old granddaughter is seeing a 30-year-old man.

What can I say to let her know he is way too old for her? I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her to hate me. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Loving Grandma in Florida Dear Loving Grandma: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think that telling your granddaughter the man is too old for her would be a good idea, because it would imply that she is too young, and no 18-year-old wants to hear that. Tell her instead that you think she would have a lot more in common with someone closer to her age. This is particularly true if she is still in high school.

Scores of spices line the shelves at Market Spice at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pike Place Market. The company has been in business for 103 years.

Rolling the dice with spice Seattle-based Market Spice has been supplier for 103 years

BY SUSAN KELLEHER MCT News Service

erry Rivas leaves work at the end of the day, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always leave him.

He recalls times heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stopped at the grocery store, and peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s noses started twitching. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone will say, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Who smells so good?

Who smells like vanilla?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll raise my hand: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Me,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says sheepishly.

Or the night when a police officer stopped him as he drove out of the parking lot after hours. There had been a break-in at a nearby business, and the officer wanted to know where Rivas had been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Market Spice,â&#x20AC;? Rivas said, gesturing toward the warehouse where the 103-year-old company packages its spices and teas for sale at Pike Place Market in Seattle and around the world.

The officer stuck his head into the cab of Rivasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; truck, sniffed, and waved him on.

Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the ghost chili incident. Rivas grows serious at the mention of the chili, which is what lava might taste like if it came in powdered form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get it on your eyelids, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done,â&#x20AC;? he says, speaking from experience.

He could go on, but as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the guy who makes it get doneâ&#x20AC;? at the Market Spice warehouse in Redmond, Wash., thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work that needs getting done, if Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appetite for spice is to be sated, however temporarily.

More than 19 years after moving into the warehouse, Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longestrunning spice purveyor has outgrown the space.

Blue plastic bins, stacked two and three high, line the warehouse

Larissa Wagner samples Uncle Paulieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ghost pepper hot sauce at a stall at Seattleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pike Place Market.

USDA researchers in the mid-1990s attributed the growing appetite for spices to the rising popularity of Asian, Mediterranean and Hispanic foods, and the use of spice in place of salt and fat. floor in rows. The 40 or so with yellow lids contain the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special spice blends.

The rest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; dozens of blue-lidded bins and scores of shoebox-sized containers on shelves that rim and bisect the warehouse floor â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is spice sold in pure form or mixed into blends for sale to spice companies, food producers and chefs.

Rivas, 51, is a compact man who stands like a boss with his shoulders pulled back. He runs a tight-knit crew at a company that employs three sets of brothers who call each other nicknames like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Johnny Allspice,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stinkyâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baby Drew.â&#x20AC;? Wearing long aprons and baseball caps or bandannas, they move methodically down the aisles and among the shelves, pulling ingredients that

will be ground, mixed, packaged and packed for shipping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all of it done by hand.

The shop radio plays country music â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first person to reach the dial picks the station â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but the younger guys sport earbuds hooked up to mp3 players. They move to their own beat, peeling back plastic container lids as they fill and pack orders.

Rivas works his way

down the aisles to offer a closer look at the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operations. As he removes lid after lid, olfactory bubbles form and linger in the air. At first, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pure scent, a delightful caress of the senses. But soon weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re transcending time and space, and moving into the realm of memory and desire.

The wet barbecue rub is the first glorious bite of smoky ribs plucked

from a front-yard grill in the Delridge neighborhood in Seattle; the pickling spice finds me fishing with tongs in the oak pickle barrel at my favorite childhood deli. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m recalling Ethiopian feasts in Tukwila, Wash.; my sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awed expression when he first tasted a cinnamon roll; savory clams oreganado, devoured at 2 a.m. with the rest of the wait staff, after the last chair was

put atop the banquet table.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m suddenly hungry and wondering how everyone here stays so thin.

Spice is an ancient trade, and the company, founded in 1911, seems likewise inclined to dwell in an older age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even a fax machine here until 10 years ago,â&#x20AC;? says Angela DeWitt, 29, assistant manager at Market Spiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only retail shop, in Pike Place Market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a 103-year-old company, and we act like it.â&#x20AC;?

DeWitt is sitting in the shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, a sliver of space that doubles as the kitchen. With space at a premium, most of the shop is devoted to shelf displays of Market Spice tea, a signature blend infused with cinnamon and orange oils and spices.

Until the company launched its website 5 years ago, spices were a small, but important, local sideline. Cooks would wander in with recipes cut from the Sunday paper, or brandish jars to replenish their favorites: oregano, Saigon cinnamon, smoked paprika, tellicherry peppercorns, harissa, Greek seasoning, steak seasoning and herbes de Provence.

Move To Win program can help you lose

BY CARRIE GROBE +3" (OSPITAL

O

ur third Operation Move to Win program began Jan. 6. On that day, the temperature outside was a brutal minus 41 degrees. After 12 weeks, the program came to a close, with only slightly better weather, but a great overall improvement in the health of our participants.

The KSB Operation Move to Win program is a 12-week weight loss initiative designed to promote positive behavior change to help individuals with weight management and improve eating and activity habits.

Any company or group organization can participate as long as there are at least 10 participants or 100 percent of the company if there are less than

10 employees. Christine Scheffler, KSB Community Wellness Coordinator, is the organizer, coordinator, motivator, and overall person-in-charge of the program.

My role, as a dietitian, is to provide individual diet and exercise recommendations, guidance, support, and help change behaviors associated with eating and activity.

We travel to every company once a month to not only weigh partici-

pants, but most importantly, to educate them on diet and exercise, provide educational materials and recipes, and support.

Our recent program included a total of 21 companies, 29 total locations covering 5 counties, and 498 participants.

Some view the program as a competition as there are monetary prizes involved, but most view the Move to Win program as a chance to learn how to eat healthy and get started on the right path for long term wellness.

Christine and I see so many positive changes that occur with the program. There is so much more happening than just a change in numbers on the scale. Health behaviors are being improved, lab numbers

including HgA1C and cholesterol levels are reduced, and energy levels enhanced. We both feel very strongly about our program and want to share some of the changes we have seen in our participants during their 12-week journey of the Move to Win Program.

For more information on our next program beginning in August, please contact Christine Scheffler at 815-285-5932 or by email at cscheffler@ ksbhospital.com.

Origins of spices were once â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;somewhat kept secretâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; SPICE

The Internet opened new markets for the company, allowing visitors to Pike Place Market to return home and order teas and spices online, says Nancy DeWitt, 56, shop manager for 13 years.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the know-it-all television M.D., also drives business by promoting spice as medicine, helping make once-relatively obscure spices such as turmeric commonplace, she says.

Both DeWitts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; mother and daughter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; say the number and variety of spices they sell have increased as peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palates have grown more curious.

Ten years ago, they say, people didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cook much with the flavors of faraway countries. Now they regularly cook foods from India, the Middle East, Africa.

Angela says customers discover new flavors through local restaurants, newspapers and magazines, and online food sites and television shows. As a result, once-exotic spices have become common commodities.

For instance, Costco sells its own brand of tellicherry peppercorns from the Malabar coast of India for $12 for a 14-ounce container. Chimichurri? You can buy it through Wal-Mart.

Old-school spice racks at grocery stores have morphed into entire spice sections that include pure spices and signature blends.

Ethnic groceries sell large quantities of spice, especially chilies, cheaply in sealed plastic packets, while specialty shops such as Big Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PFI (Pacific Food Importers) in Seattle sell to the public in bulk from fivegallon buckets.

The wide availability means that pure spices that once inspired epic ocean journeys, wars, inter-continental trade and poetry have now lost much of their mystery and allure, says Paul Kurpe, a marketing executive who has worked in the spice industry for 40 years.

Back in the day, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the sources and origins were somewhat kept secret,â&#x20AC;? says Kurpe, a vice president at Elite Spice of Maryland, a national distributor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we live in a global market, with satellite dishes on shacks in Indonesia and cellphones in Turkey, where 90 percent of Mediterranean oregano originates. Technology has brought everyone closer together; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no secret supplies any more.â&#x20AC;?

Americans consume billions of dollars worth of spices and seasonings annually. As a country, we import more than 1.1 billion pounds of spice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than 80 kinds from at least 140 countries, according to a recent report by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Only five of those spices account for half of all spice imported into the country: black pepper, white pepper, mustard seed, ginger root and

capsicum, which is basically chilies and paprika.

The figures donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include salt, which is not considered a spice, because it comes from seawater, not plants or vegetables.

The list reflects big changes. The U.S. Department of Agricultureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Economic Research Service, in a 2007 report documenting changes in the American palate over 10 years, notes that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the share of traditional spices, such as peppers, cinnamon and vanilla declined as the U.S. palate increasingly sought diverse tastes and increased its demand for such products as nutmeg, saffron, fennel and turmeric.â&#x20AC;?

USDA researchers in the mid-1990s attributed the growing appetite for spices to the rising popularity of Asian, Mediterranean and Hispanic foods, and the use of spice in place of salt and fat.

Kurpe, the marketing executive, says Americans are seeking increasingly hotter flavors, such as

Sam is a wonderful cat. This larger orange and white shorthair is very loving. Sam is a neutered male and is also front-declawed. He was adopted as a kitten and, unfortunately, his owner can no longer care for him. So at 8 years old, Sam seeks a new home. He loves attention and is quite affectionate. He was a pampered only kitty and was shocked to come here and see so many other cats all in one place!

Sam has calmed down and might actually tolerate living with another calm cat, but dogs would likely be too upsetting. He is current on shots and litterbox trained. Sam requires that his new owner love him lots and be his very best friend forever!

It feels like weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve stepped onto the set of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Breaking Badâ&#x20AC;? when, at 4:30 p.m., Capek breaks out a full-face respirator and a pair of mustardyellow rubber gloves that run from the tips of his fingers to the top of his biceps. A digital scale, along with several dozen cellophane pouches and a sealing machine, sit at the ready on the steel counter in the warehouse.

A white-lidded container sits off to the side. Capekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s smiling and laughing as he pulls on the gloves, but this is clearly no laughing matter.

Once suited up, he sets the white lid to the side and removes the plastic bag containing rustcolored chili powder.

The overhead fan that removes dust from the warehouse is running full-tilt.

Using a steel scoop, he shovels a single ounce into a small plastic pouch, prelabled to sell for $6.93.

back into the warehouse to hand me some information on a Puyallup, Wash., farm that buys up to 60 pounds of pickling spice at a time from the company.

I thank the agent through my goggles and respirator, and urge him to leave. Though Capek has filled only one or two orders, the agent coughs gently as he makes his way out the back door, and I find myself wondering whether anyone really needs chili this hot.

Capek has done this so often that in less than 7 minutes, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filled more than 35 packages. He closes the lid on the container, seals the packages, removes the gloves and mask.

Then he rips open a tiny packet of burn cream and rubs it into the top of his hands. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes, I still get burned,â&#x20AC;? he says.

He moves on to the habanero chili orders.

When heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll head to his apartment across the street, ditch his clothes in the hamper and jump in the shower before any stray chili particles have an opportunity to cause further injury.

Then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hit the road to deliver the dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s orders, including the ghost chili, to the Market Spice shop in Seattle.

There, it will be sold with a warning.

Steve Rivas, the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief buyer who has worked there for 29 years, says Seattle loves its pepper, chili and paprika.

Says Steve: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spices will be with us forever. Spice enhances our life. It adds flavor to our food.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for us. Life would be pretty boring without spice.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The numbers are up overall, and the heat is up quite significantly,â&#x20AC;?

Kurpe says.

Kurpe says cooking shows have contributed to the changing demand, but notes that research-and-development departments at companies such as his, along with Research Chefs Association, are often the source of new taste trends.

Toronto-based food scientist Elizabeth Chan described the process in a December article for Research Chefs: Foodies discover new flavors at restaurants run by creative chefs, then share their experiences on blogs and social media.

Local mainstream publicationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reviews draw more attention to the flavors, which eventually end up on the menus of â&#x20AC;&#x153;forward-leaning chains,â&#x20AC;? boutique restaurants and retail outlets. By the time the flavors hit grocery stores and fast-food restaurants, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being produced on a large scale, Chan writes.

Still, adaptation can be slow. Kurpe, the spice executive, says chimichurri took 10 years to catch on after Eliteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s researchers identified it as the next big thing.

Every year, the big kahuna of the spice world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; McCormick & Co. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; predicts the top flavors and food trends for the coming year. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prediction: Modern takes on Indian cuisine and an explosion of Mexican flavors around the globe.

The top trend, though, is what the company

MCT News Service

Brandon Capek dons a glove and full-face respirator to fill 1-ounce packets of ghost chili at the Market Spice warehouse in Seattle. called our â&#x20AC;&#x153;chilies obsession: food lovers everywhere are seeking out their next big chili thrill.â&#x20AC;?

Market Spice, among others, is going to great pains â&#x20AC;&#x201C; literally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to bring it to us.

At the Market Spice warehouse, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fallen to Brandon Capek, 23, to fill the weekly orders for ghost chili, one of the hottest chilies on the planet.

Chili heat is measured in Scoville heat units, a scale that, when it was developed, represented how many drops of sugar water it would take to neutralize the chiliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat.

Ancho chilies clock in at about 3,000 heat units. Jalapenos are about 25,000. Ghost chili measures 1 million heat units. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the culinary equivalent of a thermonuclear bomb going off on your tongue. A friend told me I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t write this story without experiencing it. I beg to differ.

I regularly order fivestar Thai, and my pic-

ture hangs on the Wing Domeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wall of Flame for eating a chicken wing doused in chili sauce and encrusted with chili flakes. But that kind of heat feels like ice cream compared to the blistering tincture of hot chili oil I sampled at a Pepper Palace shop in Florida several years ago.

Capek has never eaten ghost chili, either, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escaped its wrath.

Once, some residual particles fell from his eyelashes into his eye. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst pain you can imagine,â&#x20AC;? he says, shaking his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You feel like itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never going to end. You gotta try to man through it.â&#x20AC;?

Capek used to package the ghost chili during normal business hours, but after his co-workers fled the warehouse in coughing fits, he opted for a once-weekly, afterhours ritual. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You gotta respect that stuff,â&#x20AC;? he says, as his coworkers quickly make their exit.

No panic necessary Donoho caps Rockets’ 6-run seventh with walk-off homer

BY PATRICK PETROSKY ppetrosky@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085 ext. 5554

ROCK FALLS – Trailing 11-7 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, the Rock Falls Rockets refused to panic.

Instead, they completed a two-out, sixrun rally to capture a 13-11 win over Rockford Lutheran Tuesday night.

The rally was capped off by senior Austin Donoho, who followed up a pair of walks to the hitters ahead of him with a walk-off home run over the left-field fence.

With the runner on second representing the tying run, Donoho watched the first two pitches sail by without swinging. But when Lutheran pitcher Johnny Sanchez offered the 1-1 pitch, Donoho sat back on it and ended the Big Northern West game with one ferocious swing.

“I just got a good pitch, and put a good swing on it, and it went out,” Donoho said.

Star of the game: Austin Donoho, Rock Falls, 4-for-5, 4 RBIs, walk-off 3-run HR Key performers: Johnny Sanchez, Lutheran, 3-for-5, 2-run HR, 4 RBIs; Cayden Erickson, RF, 3-run HR Up next: Rock Falls at Rockford Lutheran, 4:30 p.m. Thursday “We just had to stay patient and put some good swings on the ball, and only swing at strikes. All season, we have been resilient; it’s just keep fighting, and having a will to win.”

While they’ll always take a win, the Rockets (8-7, 3-3) still have plenty to work on to get where they would like to be.

“I give the kids credit that we came back and did some good things,” coach Donnie Chappell said.

PANIC CONTINUED ON B2

orey Crawford said after Sunday’s Game 2 loss to the Blues that he needed to be better.

Coach Joel Quenneville also said his goaltender needed to be better.

They both got what they wanted in Game 3 of the Blackhawks’ playoff series against the Blues on Monday.

Or maybe I should say they both got what they needed, after choking away two late leads in the first two games.

To be fair, the two gametying goals that beat Crawford in the last 2 minutes of the matches in St. Louis were team-wide failures.

But the goalie took the blame, which meant taking the responsibility and pressure that goes with a mustwin Game 3.

“There’s no pressure,” Crawford said. “It’s more just reality. This was a really important game for us.”

Crawford banked a lot of credit in his locker room by publicly taking the hit.

But none of it would matter unless he actually did play better.

That was especially true in the first period, because the Blues had scored the first goal in each of the first two games.

Crawford made several quality saves in a 15-shot first period, one of them coming while sitting down.

Since last fall, Eissens has been a regular in the fitness center at SVCC, and added 15 to 20 pounds of muscle to a slightly built frame. His drives now approach the 300-yard mark.

“I feel like I’m hitting the ball probably 20 to 30 yards farther than last fall,” Eissens said, “and that’s helped my game. I feel like I’m definitely ready for it.”

Rock Fallsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Quinton Matznick safely steals third base after a teammateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s failed bunt attempt Tuesday against Rockford Lutheran. The Rockets rallied from an 11-7 deficit with a two-out rally in the seventh inning, and won 13-11 on Austin Donohoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-run walk-off home run.

Rockets respond to Crusadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rally PANIC

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we had one-half of an inning,â&#x20AC;? Chappell continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We continue to do the same things, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk people when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re up by three runs, missing a ground ball with the bases loaded, baserunning mistakes, whatever. As soon as we turn a corner, it seems like we go backward.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room for improvement everywhere,â&#x20AC;? Donoho added modestly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hitting, pitching, or fielding. Everything can improve.â&#x20AC;?

Lutheran opened up the scoring game, taking a 2-0 lead after

two at-bats. Rock Falls responded in its half of the second, as designated hitter Cayden Erickson bombed a three-run shot over the left-field fence to give his team a 3-2 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just went up there thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hit it hard, and get it in play,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Erickson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as I made contact, I knew it was gone. It just felt like too good of a hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We all hit the ball pretty solid. I like the way our lineup is set up.

We have a lot of speed on our team, so a lot of people get on base. The bottom of the order can hit them in, too.â&#x20AC;?

The Rockets built their lead, adding a pair of runs in both the third and fourth innings to take a 7-4 lead heading

into the fifth inning.

The Crusaders then battled back, taking advantage of a combination of errors, walks, and hits to score seven straight runs in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings to snag an 11-7 lead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was glad to see that,â&#x20AC;?

Lutheran coach Neal Bertram said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fighting and trying to get over the hump. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m definitely encouraged by it, but we needed some killer instinct there at the end, and to add on even more when we can. We gave up way too many extra outs.â&#x20AC;?

In the bottom of the seventh, leadoff hitter Trace Hippen drew a walk. After a strikeout, he was thrown out on Ericksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. Clay Velazquez hit a double to drive in Erickson, then advanced to third and scored on an error by the shortstop, who threw over the first basemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head out of play on a grounder from Dustin Huycke.

Two passed balls scored Huycke from second, cutting the Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deficit to 11-10.

A pair of walks to Dallas Jones and Jacob Mammosser set the stage for Donohoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final heroics at the plate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are swinging the bats better, and I think that is the good thing right now,â&#x20AC;? Chappell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better, but we just have so much more to work on, and hopefully we can get there.â&#x20AC;?

NBA PLAYOFFS | FIRST ROUND | GAME 2 | WIZARDS 101, BULLS 99, OT

Bulls rally, but blow it late Wizards come back for overtime win, 2-0 series lead

BY K.C. JOHNSON Chicago Tribune

AP

Bulls guard D.J. Augustin (14) shoots over Wizards center Marcin Gortat (4) during Game 2 of their firstround playoff series Tuesday night in Chicago. The Wizards took a 2-0 series lead with an overtime win.

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The jazz hands came out shortly after Kirk Hinrich shoved Bradley Beal, pushing the United Center sellout crowd into further frenzy.

When Joakim Noah is engaged and emotional, good things usually follow.

This time, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, as the Wizards capped a stunning comeback from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to win 10199 in overtime.

The Wizards never trailed in overtime, scoring first on Neneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stepback jumper over Noah.

Nene then dunked on the fast break following a Noah turnover. Taj Gibson missed in the lane, and Nene hit another jumper.

The Bulls missed seven straight shots and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t score until Hinrich sank two free throws with 1 minute, 15 seconds left.

But Noah scored four points in five seconds as D.J. Augustin drew an offensive foul on John Wall. And after Beal missed a jumper, Nene fouled out with 2.4 seconds left, giving Hinrich the chance to tie.

But Hinrich shot long on the first and his intentional miss was rebounded by Wall at the buzzer.

Star of the game: "RADLEY "EAL 7IZARDS

POINTS REBOUNDS Up next: 'AME "ULLS AT 7IZARDS P M &RIDAY TV/Radio: #3.

4.4 !Augustin scored a careerplayoff-high 25 points, Gibson treated offensive rebounds like water in the desert and finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds, and Noah added 20 points and 12 rebounds as the Bulls got up off the mat ... only to fall again.

Game 3 is Friday night in Washington, with the Bulls down 2-0 in the best-of-seven series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the playoffs,â&#x20AC;?

Gibson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing is easy. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like a brawl out there every possession.â&#x20AC;?

It was more like a pushover early.

The disastrous start featured the Wizards scoring the first seven points and leading by as many as 17, forcing coach Tom Thibodeau to break his rotation early.

Augustin and Gibson were huge as the Bulls rallied in the second, then the Bulls flipped a switch in the third after trailing 56-49 at halftime.

They led by 10 with 6:58 left in the fourth, but the Wizards just kept coming.

MLB ROUNDUP

Cubs cruise to 2nd straight win Sox come up short; Cards shut out Mets; Pujols hits 500th homer By the Associated Press

Jason Hammel pitched seven strong innings, Mike Olt hit a threerun homer and Nate Schierholtz drove in a pair of early runs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 9-2 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field.

Hammel (3-1) allowed just one run and four hits in seven innings to lower his ERA to 2.60.

The Cubs, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve won three of four, have won back-to-back games for the first time this season.

Brandon McCarthy (0-4) managed to lower his ERA from 7.11 to 6.23.

He allowed five runs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one earned â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and seven hits in five innings.

Tigers 8, White Sox 6: Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer, Justin Verlander pitched seven solid innings, and Detroit held off the White Sox. Cabrera was 4-for-23 on this homestand before going 3-for5 against the Sox â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a homer and a double off Charlie Leesman (0-1), who was called up from the minors to start in place of the injured Chris Sale.

Verlander (3-1) had little to worry about after allowing a first-inning homer to Jose Abreu. He allowed two runs and eight hits, striking out seven and walking two.

Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dayan Viciedo had a career-high four hits, and Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer in the ninth to pull the Sox within two.

Cardinals 3, Mets 0: Adam Wainwright threw seven neat innings before leaving with a knee injury, and Jon Jay hit a two-run single that sent the Cardinals to a victory on the road.

Mercifully, Marcus Kruger scored into an empty net with 20 seconds to go, and the Hawks skated off with a 2-0 win, Crawfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third career playoff shutout.

But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing: That still wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough for some people.

Like, as soon as the Blues score again.

Crawford, it seems, will remain a lightning rod and scapegoat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nature of the position. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a result of Crawfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s size.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big goalie who can look ungainly and

awkward. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not smooth and you give up goals, you get the blame even before you can volunteer to take it.

As unfair as it is, the question always seems to be whether Crawford can win a Stanley Cup, even though he just did. Give him credit for that. Also give him credit for taking the blame that some of his teammates shouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve owned.

And give him credit for answering his own honest assessment. Crawford indeed had played better.

You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get better than perfect.

The bidding places the missing honors

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Jean Nidetch, a co-founder of Weight Watchers, said, “It’s choice – not chance – that determines your destiny.” At the bridge table, sometimes chance does determine your destiny. For example, when you are in a contract that depends solely on a finesse. But much more often, your choices are the determining factor.

In today’s deal, West had two choices on the first round of the auction: to make a takeout double or to overcall one no-trump. Here, the double would have worked much better, because it would not have placed all of the missing honors in his hand. But West preferred one no-trump because it defined his hand strength much more accurately than double.

Against four hearts, West led the diamond queen. How did South plan the play?

North’s decision to jump to three hearts worked well. Anything less and his side prob-

ably would not have reached game.

Declarer was faced with four potential losers: one heart and three clubs. And since only 16 points were missing, West was marked with the heart king and club ace. South saw that his only chance was an endplay.

After taking the first trick, he cashed his heart ace, relieved to see East follow suit. Then declarer cashed his other top diamond and dummy’s top spades, ruffed the spade five in his hand, and exited a trump.

West won with his king, but had no riposte. If he had shifted to clubs, South would have scored his king. But when West led the diamond jack, declarer discarded a club from the board and ruffed in his hand. He then claimed, conceding two club tricks. © 2014 UFS
