LEE COUNTY | MARIJUANA

Green light to grow Board will support operation; business eyes Amboy industrial park

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

DIXON – Lee County soon might get its first legal marijuana growing operation.

According to the state’s rules, only one county in each Illinois State Police district will be allowed to have a “cannabis cultivation center.” That

means that in District 1, the race is on among Carroll, Lee, Ogle, and Whiteside counties.

Tuesday, the Lee County Board took the first step to make sure its county gets the revenue – an estimated $1 million a year – and the jobs associated with having a growing center.

Members decided, although not unanimously, to sign a

letter of support for AgriMed, a new company that, in partnership with Kreider Services, would bring a 20,000-squarefoot growing operation to the Green River Industrial Park northwest of Amboy, along with 50 jobs that would pay more than minimum wage.

The operation David Thomas, AgriMed’s managing part-

ner, proposed at the meeting would include a secure metal warehouse where the marijuana would be grown. All who work on site would be subject to a state police background check, and no one who works there can have a medical marijuana card, Thomas said.

Facade program fronted Guidelines, ad hoc committee OK’d

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

ROCK FALLS – The council took steps Tuesday to implement the city’s first facade improvement grant program.

The program will be administered by the Rock Falls Community Development Corp., and in its initial year, funded by the city. The city budgeted $20,000 in fiscal year 2014-15 to get the program started.

The funding is in the form of 50/50 matching grants.

The maximum award per grant is $5,000.

Facade programs are often run by Main Street programs, but because there is no such program in Rock Falls, the RFCDC has collaborated with the city to get things going.

The council approved the application for the program, and the appointment of six members to the Facade Improvement Committee.

Members are: Lee Folsom, 3rd Ward alderman; Mark Searing, city building inspector; Gayla Kolb, RFCDC program coordinator; Tim Wilson, Rock Falls Tourism executive director; and local businessmen Bob Klomman and Jeff Guthrie.

Administrator plans to apply for state funds

MORRISON – About 20 people milled about the community room at the Odell Public Library in Morrison on Tuesday evening for a reception hosted in honor of a man who came bearing some very special gifts.

Those gifts included the last flag to be flown on the USS Whiteside, a naval ship that served in World War II and the Korean War. Named after Whiteside County (AKA-90), the ship was commissioned on Sept. 11, 1944.

The man who brought those gifts is 86-year-old Arlo Ericson, who made the trip along with his wife all the way from St. Joseph, Missouri, a town about 50 miles north of Kansas City.

Expansion of clinic in works

Ericson (right), of the USS Whiteside, and Whiteside County Board member James Duffy hold the last American flag that flew over the USS Whiteside, a naval ship that served in World War II and the Korean War, on Tuesday afternoon at the Odell LIbrary in Morrison.

ROCK FALLS – The offices are full to burstin’ at the Whiteside County Health Department’s community health clinic.

So Beth Fiorini, the health department administrator, is on the hunt for money to expand. About $900,000, in fact.

Beth Fiorini Thanks to the closure of the former sewer plant, the site at 1300 W. Second St. already has the land, and the parking space. All it needs is a new building, Fiorini said Tuesday.

“The building would have ... 24-hour security.

It will have a live video system which is fed into the building to monitor it at all times,� Thomas said.

The crop would be distributed to various dispensaries around the state, and so it wouldn’t all necessarily remain local, he said. It will not be sold there.

Jeff Stauter, executive director of Kreider Services, also was on hand Tuesday to address the board’s questions or concerns. “It’s pretty interesting, being in Ronald Reagan’s hometown, talking about cannabis,� Stauter said with a smile at the beginning of his comments. “That wasn’t on my bucket list.�

He said he hopes the new business will provide job opportunities for

people with disabilities.

Stauter also talked to the board about medical benefits Rick of the type Ketchum of marijuana that would be grown at the site. “It’s medicine that will help people we serve to live a better life,� he said.

Stauter said he expected revenue from the opera-

tion would bring the county up to $1 million a year. “It’s going to happen to one of the four of the counties,� said County Board Chairman Rick Ketchum. “So we’re hoping we get it, obviously.�

AgriMed now must submit a detailed proposal to the state Department of Agriculture, which will make the final decision.

Thomas said he hopes to have an answer by the end of the year.

Flag to hang in courthouse FOREVER

CONTINUED FROM A1

Ericson, who served on the ship for 16 months, has been putting together reunions for his crewmates for the past 10 years now, and part of that duty also means taking care of â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and holding on to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the last flag that was flying on the ship before it was decommissioned in 1958.

The reception featured sandwiches, snacks, sodas and such. For his part, in addition to the flag, Ericson put together a large stack of pamphlets that explained the Whitesideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, which guests were more than welcome to grab.

Along a table in the front, he also placed the flag and a few piles of random memorabilia.

A dig through one of the boxes yielded a Chinese language instructional manual provided by the Department of Defense, and various logs and telegraphs kept from the shipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voyages â&#x20AC;&#x201C; contributed by other Whiteside alumni.

There was also an old 4-by-4-foot map of the Pacific Ocean, which showed everywhere the Whiteside went during

ACCIDENT UPDATE

History that goes way back Semi driver cited Former major leaguer, Lee sheriff Ward Miller played 1909-1917

I

canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember how many times Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve walked by the Ward T. Miller memorial in Dixon and wanted to know more about him.

But just about every time it slipped my mind, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d forget until the next time I walked by the old Lee County Courthouse.

That all changed recently.

Miller played for the Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates, Cincinnati Reds, and the now-defunct St. Louis Browns and St. Louis Terriers, of the former Federal League, during his 8-year career that spanned from 1909 to 1917.

He missed the 1911 season because of a respiratory ailment, local historian Mark Stach said.

It was Stach who lead the charge for the memorial, which was dedicated in 2011, after getting to know Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Shirley Roundy.

Miller had a career .278 batting average with eight home runs, 221 RBIs, 128 stolen bases and a .375 onbase percentage in 2,669 plate appearances over 769 games played, according to www.baseball-reference.com. The site lists Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthplace at Mount Carroll, but local historian Greg Langan said Millerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family moved to Dixon in the 1890s.

His best season was in 1915 when he was playing for the Terriers. He hit .306 with a

164 hits, nine triples and 63 RBIs, the latter three all career highs, according to the website.

But he was, in Stachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words, an â&#x20AC;&#x153;average playerâ&#x20AC;? for his era.

During his time in baseball, Miller shared the dugout with some pretty well-known players, including Honus Wagner and Mordecai â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three Fingerâ&#x20AC;? Brown, to name a few.

After his career, he came back to Dixon and served as county sheriff and treasurer. At one point, Miller operated an ice company that

An SUV passenger killed around 3 p.m. Monday in a five-vehicle crash near a construction zone on Interstate 39 was a 74-yearold Pecatonica man, state police said Tuesday.

David E. Jones died when the SUV driven by his wife, Sara J. Jones, 71, was struck by a southbound semitrailer that failed to slow down entering the construction zone at state Route 72, state police said.

Three other people were injured in the accident that involved three more vehicles.

The semi driver, Jay S. Taylor, 55, of Judson, Ind., was cited for failure to reduce speed. The accident is under investigation.

According to the ISP: Taylor was southbound on I-39 about a mile north of state Route 72 when he rear-ended the SUV, sending it into the west ditch. He then struck an SUV driven by William D. Young, 47, of Owatonna, Minnesota, then a passenger car driven by

Sara Jones was flown to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, where she was in critical condition Tuesday morning, a hospital spokesman said.

Taylor was taken to Swedish American Hospital in Rockford, while Klotzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passenger, Penny E. Klotz, 69, also of Fort Meyers, was taken to Rochelle Community Hospital.

Southbound I-39 was shut down at Baxter Road in Winnebago County for several hours as traffic was detoured onto state Route 251.

It was the second accident on I-39 within 5 miles that day: At 10:54 a.m., a northbound vehicle driven

by Sharon Schwarz, 66, of Franklin Grove, was rearended by a vehicle driven

by Brandon Gerdes, 21, of Minonk, the Ogle County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department said.

Her passenger, Barbara Schwarz, 41, also of Franklin Grove, was taken to Rochelle Community Hospital with an injured leg.

Gerdes also was cited for failure to reduce speed.

Officials vote on two ballot items Map, term limit measures could face other hurdles

though thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still time to file objections. The board was less certain about efforts by the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes for Independent Mapsâ&#x20AC;? group, saying the signature gathering was â&#x20AC;&#x153;a messâ&#x20AC;? and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet deadlines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start soon enough. When they did get started, they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really work hard enough,â&#x20AC;? board chairman Jesse Smart, who voted in favor of allowing more time, told reporters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yet they keep running back here wanting more days, more time, more time.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very fair with them, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve not portrayed weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fair to them.â&#x20AC;?

The map groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s members have said the process smells of politics in a Democraticleaning state where some top members of the party oppose the plans to impose two terms on legislators and shift the mapmaking process from lawmakers to an independent commission. Board members dismissed those allegations.

An attorney for the map group said the citizen-driven effort was new to the rules and election officials rushed the process and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t communicate clearly.

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A measure calling for lawmaker term limits is all but ready for the November ballot, elections officials decided Tuesday, and they also reluctantly agreed to give backers of an initiative changing how Illinois draws political boundaries more time to validate signatures.

Both could appear on one of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heftiest ballots in state history, with as many as seven possible initiatives before voters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four constitutional amendments and three poll-style questions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; along with one of the most competitive governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races nationwide. However, the fates of the map and term limits measures face other hurdles, with a lawsuit expected to unfold this week and allegations that the process has been laden with politics.

The Illinois State Board of Elections ruled that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Committee for Legislative Reform and Term Limits,â&#x20AC;? led by Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner, had enough valid signatures based off a sample size,

OREGON | STATE OF EMERGENCY

Ambulance service shuts down, cites economic hardship Neighboring fire departments will help, for now

BY VINDE WELLS 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

OREGON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Citing economic hardship, the privately owned Oregon Ambulance Service has closed, leaving fire and city officials scrambling to provide service for the residents of the Oregon Fire District.

Oregon Fire Chief Don Heller said Betty Ferris, who manages the nonprofit business with her husband, Jim, told fire protection districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board of trustees on June 11 that they would close their doors Tuesday.

Heller immediately began contacting other area fire districts, which have agreed to help handle ambulance calls for the time being.

The Oregon Fire District includes all of OregonNashua Township and portions of Pine Creek, Pine, Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, Marion, Grand Detour, and Taylor townships.

It has been divided up in segments, with each neighboring fire department covering the area closest to it, Heller said.

Mount Morris and Byron will handle calls within the city of Oregon.

The Polo Fire Protection District will cover the southwest portion of Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district.

The other neighboring fire districts are Leaf River, Stillman Valley, Ogle-Lee, Lynn-ScottRock, Dixon Rural, Franklin Grove, and Ashton.

Ogle County 911 will dispatch the fire departments according to where the ambulance is needed, he said.

Sandra Beitel, 911 coordinator, declined to comment except to say a plan was in place.

Oregon is the only fire department in the area without an ambulance service funded by property taxes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason we are closing is financial, because people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paying their bills,â&#x20AC;? Ferris said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because of lack of financial support and the economic times. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get tax dollars. We are only supported by ambulance fees, memorials, and donations. Anyone is welcome to stop in later in the week and talk to me.â&#x20AC;?

The ambulance service, officially formed in 1971, is a nonprofit corporation owned by stockholders. It has been tax-free

throughout its 4 decades of existence, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a] pretty good deal for Oregon residents.â&#x20AC;?

Oregon Police Chief Darin DeHaan said Ferris told him about the impending closure Friday. He and Mayor Tom Stone met with Heller and other fire district officials to come up with a permanent solution and explore ways the city can help in the meantime. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to find a solution as soon as we can,â&#x20AC;?

DeHaan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rely on mutual aid long term.â&#x20AC;?

The fire district could add an ambulance service, but that requires voter approval allowing the fire district to tax to pay for it, Heller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;State law does not allow us to use fire department funds to run an ambulance service,â&#x20AC;? he said.

A referendum could be put on the November ballot, but if approved, the earliest money would be available is a year from now.

Earlier this year, Heller said the cost of an ambulance service to taxpayers would be about 40 cents

per $100 of equalized assessed valuation, or about $200 a year for the owner of $150,000 home.

The Oregon Ambulance Service is licensed through the Rockford Memorial Hospital Emergency Medical Services.

Anthony Cellitti, EMS system coordinator, said Tuesday that he had been told the service was shutting down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re checking into that,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working with the Oregon Fire Department. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comment much beyond that.â&#x20AC;?

Under state law, paramedics and emergency medical technicians must be certified by the state but arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t licensed to perform medical procedures, and so must practice under the license of a physician. All ambulance services, therefore, are affiliated with a hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EMS. Oregon is one of very few communities without a tax-supported ambulance service, Cellitti said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oregon has had a great 40 years,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had to pay for ambulance service.â&#x20AC;?

DIXON | AIRPORT EXPANSION

New hangar, runway could be 3 and 5 years off Additions could mean more revenue for airport

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com

EXT

DIXON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A longer runway and a new hangar are in the future for Dixonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s airport.

The upgrades are being considered as ways to increase revenue and traffic to the airport â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Charles R. Walgreen Field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; by bringing in larger aircraft, which would use more fuel and airport services, Dixon Airport Board member Brian Brown said.

Brown has been a member of the five-person board for about a year, and two other members have joined since him, he said, which changed the dynamic of the board that used to have long-tenured members.

When the board made a presentation to the Dixon City

Council in February, during a city budget workshop, the runway and hangar were mentioned as possible ways to increase revenue.

During that meeting, Commissioner Colleen Brechon called the airport an â&#x20AC;&#x153;untapped resourceâ&#x20AC;? for the city, a stance she reiterated to this month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big proponent of increasing the size of the airport, at least in some respects,â&#x20AC;?

Brechon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small community, but the airport is really an avenue that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really looked at in a long time.â&#x20AC;?

Airport expansion, she said, could mean that some businesses will consider Dixon when, in the past, they might have overlooked the city because of its runway size.

Corporate jets usually arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allowed to land on a runway shorter than 5,000 feet, Brown said, which is a regulation from

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a big propopent of increasing the size of the airport, at least in some respects. I know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a small community, but the airport is really an avenue that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really looked at in a long time.

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Colleen Brechon, city commissioner

insurance companies.

The airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longest runway is 3,899 feet.

Some of the corporate jets are capable of landing or taking off on the shorter runways, Brown said, if the conditions right and the planeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weight is kept low.

WORKERS CLEAR DEBRIS FROM DIXON DAM

He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much an extended runway would cost, but said it would require some land acquisition.

A realistic timeframe for the new runway is 5 years, he said.

Most of the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenue comes from office rent, hangar rent, fuel, and money from the federal government, Brown said. The ultralight planes that make up a majority of the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aircraft donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t contribute as much toward revenue, he said, because many can run on the same fuel as cars, meaning they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t buy the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fuel.

A new hangar, which could be built in about 3 years, would allow for larger aircraft to be kept at the airport.

The current hangar, which is smaller than the board would like, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accommodate modern aircraft. While the board could decide to continue

Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funding after first year to be determined FACADE

CONTINUED FROM A1

Two workers clear debris Tuesday morning at the Dixon dam. After clearing the tree limbs, the pair ran a rope of safety buoys across the Rock River to warn boaters of the upcoming hazard.

Bump in business anticipated CLINIC

CONTINUED FROM A1

She plans to apply in July for a grant from Illinois Department of Public Health, designed specifically for community health care centers, and for a Community Development Block Grant.

The very preliminary plan calls for a basic office building of about 5,000 square feet between the clinic and the back parking lot, where the plant used to be. She wants to put behavioral health and billing and coding in the new space.

Because of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utility easement, the buildings probably

canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be connected, but that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter, Fiorini said.

Right now, six or seven people are stepping all over themselves in billing, and in other offices as well. And the one therapist on staff doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have an office, Fiorini said, adding that she hopes to hire a second one, who also will need a spot.

If the IDPH turns her down, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably apply for federal funds next year, Fiorini said.

By that time, an architect whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now in the process will have drawn up plans, which the feds always like to see, she said.

The need isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to go away.

Like most other health

care facilities, Whiteside County expects to see some sort of bump in business because of the Affordable Care Act. Just how much, Fiorini isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure.

The health department helped about 1,600 people enroll in an insurance plan, most of whom became eligible for Medicare.

It remains to be seen how many of those were patients who were paying their own bills, and how many might be new to the clinic, Fiorini said.

AIR CONDITIONING SERVICE

to repair and modify it where possible, that could be more expensive than a new hangar, Brown said.

The board already has made finding new revenue a priority, with the addition of an Automated Weather Observing System, Brown said, and will look for new ways to attract more aircraft and even corporate jets beyond just the runway and hangar projects.

An Automated Weather Observing System alerts pilots in the air to weather conditions at the airport. Some pilots will bypass an airport that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have one, Brown said.

The airport can be a tool for the city to bring in new businesses and jobs, Brechon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think some sort of change is really necessary,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What can be done quickly should be done. But if takes longer, then thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it goes.â&#x20AC;?

The committee will be entrusted with selecting grant winners from the applicant pool.

Kolb did much of the work on the application package, but it has taken some time to determine how the program would be funded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had a facade program,â&#x20AC;? Kolb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote the program 2 years ago, but it kept hitting snags with funding.â&#x20AC;?

When RFCDC Executive Director Randy Balk took the helm April 7, he made the program one of his priorities, Kolb said.

The first program packet had to be updated to reflect the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new design guidelines developed for the downtown area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Originally, we used

the same guidelines as the RB&W District, but when the city put in new guidelines downtown, it made things difficult,â&#x20AC;?

Kolb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put in a new design guide that complements the RB&W guidelines.â&#x20AC;?

Searing said the design fixes were fairly simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were just some small things with the fencing and awnings,â&#x20AC;?

Searing said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just had to make sure the downtown matches up with the RB&W District.â&#x20AC;?

Several business owners have expressed an interest in the program, so the city expects the money to go quickly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The RB&W area is really filling up right now, so I would expect to see this progran continue after this year,â&#x20AC;? Searing said.

How the program will be funded after the first round has yet to be determined. Officials will first

gauge interest before making long-range plans.

She said the city has not ruled out the possibility of funding the program beyond its first year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look at how much demand there is and take it from there,â&#x20AC;? Kolb said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The initial amount could take care of it and we might not even need more funding.â&#x20AC;?

Mayor Bill Wescott has mentioned building permits as a possible future funding source for the program.

The 16-page application packet includes information about eligibility, a map of targeted areas, design guidelines, and forms to be completed.

Work approved for grant funding must be inspected at the time of completion before the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50 percent is reimbursed to the business owner.

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

Joe Heller, Heller Syndication

Optimism drives construction of trail toward park What we think We offer our congratulations to community leaders, volunteer groups, and units of government for their work on the MorrisonRockwood Recreational Trail, which will be dedicated Thursday.

W

hile a pessimist says the glass is half empty, an optimist says the glass is half full.

Well, the MorrisonRockwood Recreational Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first eight-tenths of a mile has been finished. It will be dedicated Thursday.

The remaining milelong stretch remains to be built.

So, is the trail half unfinished or is it halfway completed?

Optimistically, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll side with the halfwaycompleted crowd.

It took plenty of optimism and vision to take on a project to connect the city of Morrison with Morrison-Rockwood State Park to the north by constructing a trail that can be used by bicyclists, snowmobilers, pedestrians and dog walkers.

It took time (about 10 years) and money (more than $220,000) to bring the project this far.

And it took cooperation among various private groups and units of government to make it happen.

A grand opening dedication and reception

is planned for noon Thursday, with a ribboncutting ceremony to take place at the intersection of Crosby and Norrish roads, where the trail begins.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big event, so Morrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mayor and state senator will be there, along with representatives from other groups, including the League of Illinois Bicyclists.

During the day, about 200 League bicyclists on tour will traverse the newly dedicated trail.

(Talk about a tourism draw!) Kids can register for free bikes (one boy and one girl will win), and there will be refreshments, among other things.

We encourage the public to attend Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dedication, thank those involved in creating the trail, and resolve to make good use of it.

And, we encourage the coalition of groups and governmental units to optimistically forge ahead to make the rest of the trail a reality.

Then, that fabled glass will be filled to the brim, and optimists across the region will have reason to smile.

STATEHOUSE INSIDER

Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is, um, a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;planâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gov. Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s No. 2, Vallas, calls it a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;jokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Well, people demanded budget information from Bruce Rauner, and last week, he finally came out with something that dealt with budget issues.

Just what it was depends on your perspective.

Rauner, of course, called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;planâ&#x20AC;? and titled his presentation a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bring Back Blueprint.â&#x20AC;?

Gov. Pat Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running mate, Paul Vallas, called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;joke,â&#x20AC;? and seemed to have a number of pundits who agreed with his assessment.

Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s see, the Rauner plan has that hardy perennial of getting rid of the state airplanes. Voters love this idea, even if it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save hardly any money in the grand scheme of things.

RAUNER WANTS TO save $12 million by combining the comptrollerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and treasurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices, like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never been suggested before. It takes only a change to the Illinois Constitution, which no oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been able to engineer. Those savings just might be iffy.

Rauner would prohibit outside employment for the four legislative leaders, three of whom are lawyers. Rauner, though, is willing to share the

Good, caring local service appreciated JULIE SUTTON Rock Falls

Customer service is alive and well in the Sauk Valley. At least, that is true at a local store where I shop.

A couple of weeks ago, I was looking for weed killer. I asked a gentleman a few questions, and another employee also stopped

to help. A particular product was recommended and on sale, but it was sold out. She offered a rain check; I took it, and was on my way.

Pay attention to this, bigbox stores. On June 10, I received a call from a lady at the store, who called me by name, and said my weed killer was back in stock; did I still want it? So I picked it up, along with a few other items I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need.

WASHINGTON

U.S. seizes Benghazi suspect in deadly attack Officials: Abu Khattala being held on a ship WASHINGTON (AP) – U.S. special forces seized a “key leader” of the deadly Benghazi, Libya, attack, and he is on his way to face trial in the United States for the fiery assault that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, the Obama administration announced Tuesday.

It was the first breakthrough in the sudden overseas violence in 2012 that has become a fester-

ing political sore at home.

President Barack Obama said the capture on Sunday of Ahmed Abu Khattala sends a clear message to the world that “when Americans are attacked, no matter how long it takes, we will find those responsible and we will bring them to justice.”

“We will find you,” Obama declared.

As recently as last August, though, Abu Khattala told The Associated Press that he was not in hiding, nor had he been questioned by Libyan authorities about the attack at the diplomatic compound. He denied

involvement and said that he had abandoned the militia. Administration officials said Tuesday that, despite his media interviews, he “evaded capture” until the weekend when military special forces, including members of the Army’s elite Delta Force, nabbed him.

Whatever the path to his capture, he was headed to the United States to face what Obama called “the full weight of the American justice system.” Obama called the Libyan an “alleged key leader” of the attack.

U.S. officials said Abu Khattala was being held on the Navy amphibious

transport dock ship USS New York, which was in the Mediterranean Sea. The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity, because they weren’t authorized to discuss Abu Khattala’s whereabouts.

The Libyan was the commander of a militant group called the Abu Obaida bin Jarrah Brigade and is accused of being a senior leader of the Benghazi branch of Ansar al-Shariah in Libya, which the U.S. has designated a terror group.

On Capitol Hill, Republicans urged the administration to get as much intelligence out of Abu Khattala as possible

before anyone reads him his rights to remain silent, supplies him with a lawyer and prepares him for trial in a U.S. courtroom. In fact, Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, top Republican on the Intelligence Committee, said interrogation of the Libyan already was underway and “we hope to find out some positive things.”

Abu Khattala is charged with terror-related crimes in U.S. District Court in Washington and will be tried like a civilian, the administration said.

The Obama administration policy is to treat terror suspects as criminals when possible and not

send them to the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, like hundreds of terror suspects captured during the administration of President George W. Bush.

Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the U.S. should skip the legal niceties and focus on interrogation.

“The most valuable thing we can get from this terrorist is information about who else was involved in this,” McConnell told reporters. “We’ll be watching closely to see how much information they glean from him and how they’re handling it.”

Signs of reprisal killings emerge Obama nearing decision on array of military options BAGHDAD (AP) – Nearly four dozen Sunni detainees were gunned down at a jail north of Baghdad, a car bomb struck a Shiite neighborhood of the capital, and four young Sunnis were found slain, as ominous signs emerged Tuesday that open warfare between the two main Muslim sects has returned to Iraq.

The killings, following the capture by Sunni insurgents of a large swath of the country stretching to Syria, were the first hints of the beginnings of a return to sectarian bloodletting that nearly tore the country apart in 2006 and 2007.

During the United States’ 8-year presence in Iraq, American forces acted as a buffer between the two Islamic sects, albeit with limited success. The U.S. military is now being pulled back in – with a far more limited mission and far fewer troops, as President Barack Obama nears a decision on an array of options for combating the Islamic militants.

Free caregivers kit should be in every home Dear Abby: Helping a parent or other adult relative handle their finances and health care can be a challenging gift to give. You want to honor their wishes and respect their boundaries, while at the same time acting in their best interest.

But it can be hard to know where to begin and whom to trust, and you always wonder if you’re forgetting something.

To help your readers carry out this important role, the Federal Citizen Information Center created the free Family Caregivers Kit. It features publications from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that explain

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

how to manage a loved one’s money and protect seniors from scams. And it also contains publications from the FDA’s Office of Women’s Health to keep track of medications and learn to use them safely. The kit is full

of practical tips that give caregivers the confidence they need to manage a loved one’s affairs.

Abby, thanks for sharing the free Family Caregivers Kit. From one daughter to another, you know how important it is to stand up and support family members through life’s challenges.

– Sarah Crane, acting director, Federal Citizen Information Center Dear Ms. Crane: Thank you for offering this important information to my readers. It is important because accepting this kind of responsibility should not be done with-

out fully understanding what it will entail. The publications you sent to me – and will send to my readers – provide an illuminating overview of the responsibilities involved.

Readers, this year’s packet is not to be missed, particularly if you have aging relatives or a friend who may need you to handle his/her affairs, even for a short period of time.

These booklets are offered free of charge and include the “Managing Someone Else’s Money” series of publications, which cover Power of Attorney and Managing Trusts, Property and Benefits. They are written in plain English and are

in an easy-to-understand format.

Also included is a pamphlet on using medications wisely. Did you know that 125,000 people die each year because they didn’t take their medication as directed – and many more get sick because they didn’t properly follow the directions on the label? (I didn’t.)

Another pamphlet shares information on recognizing and avoiding health scams, so you and your loved ones can watch out for miracle devices and cures that really ARE too good to be true.

But wait! There’s more ... You will also receive

a copy of the 2014 Consumer Action Handbook, which contains not only information you need to make the best decisions about what you buy and the service providers you use, but also a sample complaint letter to help you get results.

To order this free kit, go to promotions.usa.gov/ dearabby. You can also order the kit by calling 888878-3256 weekdays 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time, or by writing: Family Caregivers Kit, Pueblo, CO 81009.

Every household in the country should have this information on hand “just in case,” so order a kit for yourself and more to share.

Bright like Brazil Nation finds place at table with familiar ingredients producing flavors that shine

I

BY LEE SVITAK DEAN MCT News Service

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in love with Brazilian food and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m only two recipes into it.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the magic of the new â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brazilian Barbecue & Beyond,â&#x20AC;? by David PontĂŠ, Jamie Barber and Lizzy Barber, who founded three branches of the Brazilian restaurant Cabana in London.

Their book appeared on my desk recently, shortly before the World Cup began last week. And I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stopped thinking about what I should cook next.

Most of the ingredients are familiar, but how they come together is not. Broccoli finds its way into rice, avocado into ice cream, shrimp and pineapple into hearts of palm salad with honey-cinnamon dressing. And the limes!

They are everywhere, including coconut and lime sorbet. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the shrimp soup, the salmon ceviche, sweet potato crabcakes.

Need I say more? Makes me hungry just to think about it.

In anticipation of the games on TV, I tried two appetizers that are mainstay bar snacks in Brazil.

Toasted Giant Corn starts out as big kernels of hominy, more often used in the U.S. as a Southern and Southwest staple for grits or stews. In this recipe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toasted and sprinkled with smoked paprika and salt for a betyou-canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t-eat-just-one corn nibble.

Bolinhos, deep-fried balls of rice, packed with Parmesan and parsley, offer a more substantial snack thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s light and cheesy.

Traditional Brazilian food has its roots in home cooking, say the authors, with eclectic flavors brought to the table by its indigenous people, Africans, Portuguese, Japanese, Italian, Lebanese and Germans who have made the country their home. Many dishes incorporate black beans, rice, shrimp, pork, cashews and fruit in all its variety. As the book title suggests, grilling and barbecue are a big part of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culinary identity.

With great photos, fascinating historical commentary and some cultural discussion (samba lessons, Brazilian music for your party), this book is a winner, no matter which World Cup team you are rooting for.

Bolinhos Makes 20 to 25.

Note: These are a mainstay of Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bar scene.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re little balls of rice that are lightly fried for a golden crunch, which gives way to a soft, almost creamy interior. Either leftover or freshly made rice can be used. If the rice is too dry, add an extra egg to help it stick together.

it in a pan with 1 ž cup water and bring to a boil.

Reduce the heat and simmer, partly covered, for about 10 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed. Remove, cover, and let steam for another view minutes. It will be slightly overcooked and sticky, and you should be able to shape it easily. Set aside to cool completely.

To make the bolinhos: To the rice, add the egg, green onions, Parmesan, salt, baking powder, Âź cup flour and most of the chopped parsley (all but

1 tablespoon). Mix well and check the consistency: It should be stiff enough to shape into balls. If itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too sticky, gradually add more flour until you get the right consistency. With wellfloured hands, roll into walnut-size balls.

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees (it should sizzle when a little rice mixture is added to it).

Fry in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown all over, then drain on paper towels.

(No deep fryer? Use a sturdy pot and cover bottom with about ½ inch oil and fry the rice balls, turning them around to brown them.)

To serve, transfer to warmed bowls and serve sprinkled with grated Parmesan and the remaining parsley, with lime wedges alongside.

Toasted giant corn Serves 6 to 8 as a snack.

Note: Serve with drinks as an alternative to nuts and olives. From â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brazilian Barbecue & Beyond,â&#x20AC;? by

David PontĂŠ, Jamie Barber and Lizzy Barber.

11 ounces dried giant white corn (hominy) or use canned hominy 2 tablespoon vegetable oil 2 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Directions: For dried corn: Soak corn in a bowl of cold water for at least 12 hours or overnight.

For canned hominy: Rinse hominy.

For either: Drain and spread out to dry on a tray lined with a clean dish towel for at least 1 hour.

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat.

When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the corn kernels and toss until evenly coated with oil. Cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally, until the kernels are evenly golden and some of them have popped.

If the kernels are still a bit chewy, toast them in an oven preheated to 300 degrees for 10 to 20 minutes, stirring a few times. (Testerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s note: This step will keep the kernels more snacklike and easier to handle.)

Remove and toss with salt and paprika. Let cool and store in an airtight container, if not serving immediately.

TWO-ZONE FIRE FOOD

Spicy garlic chicken a star on the grill Thighs, legs cheaper, more forgiving cuts

BY SUSAN SELASKY -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

D

uring the week, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quick and easy to grill some boneless, skinless chicken breast. But on weekends, when you might have a wee bit more time, choose bone-in and skinon chicken.

Chicken thighs and leg quarters often cost less than breasts and are more forgiving on the grill, if you pay attention. The key to cooking these pieces is mastering a two-zone fire. Once you do, you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end up with chicken thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way too charred on one side and still raw in the middle.

For a two-zone fire, you need the heat to be medium-hot in one part of the grill and then cooler in another. The cooler part can be an area with no heat source at all (indirect heat) or very low heat.

Grill todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chicken quarters skin-side down first and over mediumhigh heat to get nice grill marks. Turn them over and continue grilling over lower heat, which will help render more fat, prevent flare-ups and crisp the skin. Close the lid and grill until the chicken pieces are cooked through.

Easier than pie: Try out these raspberry apricot bars

BY LEAH ESKIN -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Pie can be scary. I made this unhappy discovery at age 2, standing unsteady and tear-streaked in the family VW bus. I had pie in hand, fierce resistance on face. No way.

The problem was this: too much middle. The crust looked safe, but underneath lurked a sinkhole of goo. Scary.

Making pie can be scary too. It takes practice to get the fruit to set neither runny nor gummy and the pastry to bake up both flaky and reliable. My first pie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cracked, craggy, congealed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; lives on in family lore. Not the good kind of lore.

Which might be why the fruit bar is such a pleasure. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like pie, but simpler, smaller and sturdier. Plus the low-lying bar has an admirable outer-toinner ratio: about 1:1.

Leaving nothing to pout about.

Simple tips for a summer slim down

BY CARRIE GROBE KSB Hospital

beyondTRIM

Many people look forward to the summer season as a time to reduce their weight, tone their body, and improve overall health and energy.

After surviving the brutally cold winter we had, the current weather is a wonderful change and sets the stage for working on your health. Here are a few summer slim-down tips:

Daily activity Plan to do at least 10 minutes of exercise every day. A 10-minute brisk walk, bike ride, or swim can help give your metabolism a boost, as well as establishing the habit of daily exer-

cise. Once the habit is set, increase the duration of exercise. Keep an exercise log to keep yourself accountable.

As well as the daily exercise, be extra active all day. Whether it is doing housework, gardening, walking instead of driving to the store, or playing with kids and grandkids; every minute of movement adds up.

Increase fruits and vegetables Take advantage of the variety of fresh produce that will be sprouting up at local farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets and grocery stores.

Fruits and vegetables are full of nutrients and low in calories, so fill up half your plate with these beauties. They are filling and satisfying. Vary the cooking methods of grilling, roasting and steaming, to help prevent boredom. Adding a large green salad to your meal or as a snack is a great way to promote weight loss. Be careful of the toppings. After the addition of cheese, meat, croutons and salad dressings, your â&#x20AC;&#x153;lowcalorieâ&#x20AC;? salad could have

as many calories as a double cheeseburger.

Be smart about beverages The summer heat brings thirst and more thirst. It is important to quench the thirst with water, water and more water. Some individuals will easily consume 1,000 calories or more daily from beverages that are full of sugar. Drink as much plain water as you can, and when you need a little excitement; add slices of lemon, cucumber, strawberries and whatever other fruits and vegetables you have on hand, to the plain water.

It is refreshing and very low in calories.

Lemon & Cucumber

Water: Combine 1 gallon cold water, 2-3 slices fresh lemon and 2-3 slices cucumbers in a pitcher and serve. For a stronger taste, let the water sit in your refrigerator for an hour prior to serving.

Practice smart snacking To reduce your weight, portion sizes usually need to be reduced as well. Using smaller plates can help, and so can portioning snack items in advance to help avoid overeating. It is too difficult to stop eating chips or cookies when the entire bag is sitting on your lap. Reducing weight and food portions is difficult enough.

Make it easier by portion-

ing out the snack and putting the rest in the cupboard. Make sure the snack is going to give you some nutrition and energy. Healthy snack ideas include: fruit, nuts, string cheese, yogurt, low fat cottage cheese, tuna, peanut butter on celery or whole grain crackers, and raw veggies.

Sleep it off Read all the latest research on sleep and weight and you will discover that the less sleep you get, the more likely you are to be overweight.

Summer is a very busy time of the year. Make healthy eating, exercise, and sleep a priority. Most adults need 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep every night.

asabi is the Japanese version of horseradish. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an Asian root vegetable that is sold in paste and powdered form. The powdered form is mixed with water to form a thick paste.

The green wasabi served with sushi is usually white wasabi powder that is mixed with colorants and mustard.

Fresh wasabi root can be found in some Asian stores.

To save clean up and time, the salmon and vegetables are made in the same skillet.

Make the salmon first, spread the sauce on top and remove from the skillet. Make the Pan Roasted Corn and Broccoli in the same skillet.

The wasabi adds a nice Asian flavor and dash of heat to this healthy, easy dish.

Pan-Roasted Ginger Corn and Broccoli

Wasabi adds a dash of spice to pan-roasted salmon as the wasabi-coated fish is served atop a bed of sliced cucumbers with a saute of broccoli, corn and red peppers.

Creative process Mairs using spark for inventing to build his future

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

A smile quickly spreads across Troy Mairs’ face as he sits up in his chair. He is remembering the time he set his desk on fire.

It was about 2 years ago, and the recent AFC graduate was immersed in the middle of one of his creations.

Sometimes he customizes things he finds, like the old, worn bow he recently purchased at a garage sale, and redid the paint work and restored the wood. Other times he starts from scratch, which was what he was doing when his desk lit up.

“I was building a small, gas-powered Airsoft gun,” Mairs said. “It started to work at first, but the gas caught fire, and it just went downhill from there.”

In an instant, the wooden desk in his bedroom provided the fuel for a fire that was started due to another ambitious project.

Luckily Mairs, whose mother Michelle calls him the creative one in the family, found a quick solution.

“My whole desk went up in flames with all my papers,” he said. “I was scared. There wasn’t any water nearby, so I pulled off my comforter and was able to put out the fire.”

AFC’s Troy Mairs has a creative mind that he uses to create a wide variety of things. Sometimes his projects get away from him, but not often. That creativity will help him as a member of the Telegraph team during the SVM All-Star Classic on Thursday.

Cougars prowling for final time Trio helped Eastland to state berth

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5554

For as long as she can remember, Eastland senior point guard Courtney Walker has seen classmate Miranda Grisham in the post pretty much whenever she sets up at the top of the key.

Her final high school game won’t be any different.

Walker, Grisham, and teammate Hannah Hake will lace up their sneakers one last time together, playing for the Telegraph team in the 2014 SVM All-Star Classic on Thursday evening.

Classic trios s 4HERE ARE TWO OTHER SETS OF three in the girls game on Thursday. The Telegraph also has three Oregon Hawks, while the Gazette has three Golden Warriors. Check out full rosters for both games on B3.

“With them in the post and me as the guard, it’s going to be just like it always has been,” Walker said. “All I have to do is dish it to them, and let them get after it. It’s basically instinct … and almost like we’re back down at state.”

PROWLING CONTINUED ON B3

LAKE FOREST – In the 2 years that took Jordan Lynch from a Mid-American Conference unknown to a Heisman Trophy finalist, the sidelines were never a familiar place.

But the sidelines are now Lynch’s classroom, a place where the former Northern Illinois star quarterback can observe in what is his latest opportunity to convince naysayers – and he knows there are plenty – that they’re wrong about his chances.

As hell-bent as he was on becoming an NFL quarterback, Lynch faces a serious uphill climb just to make the Bears roster as an unsigned free agent running back.

As many defenders as Lynch barreled over in his 2 years as NIU’s starter – when he carried the ball 586 times for 3,735 yards and 42 touchdowns – Lynch understands the competitive traffic he will have to navigate to hold down one of the backfield spots the Bears will fill heading into the regular season.

So as unfamiliar as the sidelines may seem to him, Lynch understands it’s where he must start.

“I’m a rookie. I’ve got to learn my way, I’ve got to earn my way on this field,” Lynch said.

In addition to trying to buck the odds by making an NFL roster after going undrafted, Lynch is trying to do so while learning a position that gives him the best chance to stick with the Bears.

PINEHURST, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With pigtails and plenty of giggles, Lucy Li just wants to have fun like any 11-year-old girl.

Except that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing the biggest event in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf.

Li, a sixth-grader from the Bay Area who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear to be the least bit overwhelmed by the attention around her, became the youngest qualifier in U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open history when she shot 68 at Half Moon Bay last month to win her sectional by seven shots.

She celebrated by having dinner at her favorite restaurant and watching â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Amazing Spiderman 2.â&#x20AC;?

Lucy Li, an 11-year-old from California, putts on the 15h green during a practice round Tuesday at the U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open in Pinehurst, N.C. The sixth-grader from the Bay Area is the youngest qualifier in the history of the U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open. just really so excited for her to be out. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a memory that will last her a lifetime. What other 11-year-old can say that they played in the U.S. Open at Pinehurst? And she got to see the men play, too.â&#x20AC;?

Life is moving at warp speed for little Lucy Li.

She only became serious about golf 4 years ago when she set up shop in Miami to work with Jim McLean. Just 2 months ago, the precocious 11-year-old with a mouth full of braces won her age division in the inaugural Drive, Chip and Putt Championship

at Augusta National. And now sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at Pinehurst No. 2, ready to take on the course where Martin Kaymer won the U.S. Open on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s awesome, right?â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I mean, Pinehurst and Augusta National in, like, 2 months. I mean, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just amazing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mindblowing for me. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been awesome, because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been ... I mean, the food is great, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot of friends.â&#x20AC;?

The kid made one thing clear. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not out to prove anything. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not out to make history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The perfect week? I just want to go out there and have fun and play the best I can, and I really donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the outcome,â&#x20AC;? Li said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to have fun and learn. I want to learn a lot from these great players.â&#x20AC;?

The best part, Mairs explains, is that his parents largely shrugged it off, chalking it up to another one of their sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experiments. And by now, Dave and Michelle Mairs are used to these happenings.

There was another time when his latest invention called for a lot of springs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;None of the pens in our house would work,â&#x20AC;?

Mairs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took all of the springs.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to love it,â&#x20AC;?

Michelle said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is very much hands-on with everything.â&#x20AC;?

The drive to invent and create has been with him ever since he can remember, and he explains it as having an unscratchable itch to build and create things. He remembers whittling sticks into bows, and he even made homemade catapults. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has always been playing sports, but when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not, he never just sits on his hands,â&#x20AC;? Michelle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He likes always to be doing something. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not your typical boy.â&#x20AC;?

As he grew older, his passion grew with him, and his interests evolved from primitive weapons to guns.

He plans on spending the next 2 years at Sauk Valley Community College, after being awarded a full scholarship because of his strong grades and ACT score of 28. After that, the plan is to attend Murray State in Oklahoma, where he will enter in a 2-year program

that will give him his gunsmithing license.

With that, he aims to open a shop in Ashton that will serve as a one-stop shop to all things guns. Customization, repairs, buying and selling. Similiar to one of his favorite shows that airs on the Discovery Channel: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sons of Gunsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m an avid gun collector,â&#x20AC;? Mairs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every gun I get, I customize. They either get a new stock or a paint job. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of creative ideas, and hopefully I can use them to get my shop running.â&#x20AC;?

He currently teaches NRA classes, specifically rifle and pistol courses, and wants to become an officer in the U.S. Army. Next summer, he will go into basic training for the National Guard, where he plans to get into officer candidate school.

But for now, the threesport athlete (baseball, basketball and football) has shifted his focus to trying to get in shape for basketball, something he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played competitively since the winter sports season.

Mairs, 18, will step back onto the hardwood on Thursday, when he will be playing for the Telegraph squad during the SVM All-Star classic. He used his big frame to average 16.1 points per game last season, and, standing at nearly 6 feet, 8 inches, will be the tallest player on the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Man, I started running back-and-forth on the court a little bit, and after 5 minutes, I was so tired,â&#x20AC;?

Mairs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it should be really fun. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to it.â&#x20AC;?

Slaying slump, Giants White Sox snap skid; Marlins slip past Cubs By the Associated Press

Gordon Beckham and Dayan Viciedo hit tworun home runs, John Danks pitched effectively into the seventh inning, and the White Sox snapped a four-game losing streak with an 8-2 victory over the Giants on Tuesday in Chicago.

The slumping White Sox had managed a total of six runs in their previous four games.

Viciedo, who was just 2-for-23 on the homestand before Tuesday, went 2-for-4. His fifthinning blast ended a stretch of 51 at-bats without an RBI. Danks (6-5) settled down after a somewhat slow start and gave up two runs – one earned – and five hits in 6 1/3 innings. In his last five starts, the left-hander is 3-1 with a 1.51 ERA. Hunter Pence went 2-for-4 with a home run for the Giants, who have dropped four straight and seven of eight.

Giants starter Matt Cain (1-5) allowed eight runs – seven earned – and 10 hits in five innings.

first inning, and the Giants made it 2-0 with an unearned run in the third.

The White Sox tied it in the bottom of the third as Adam Eaton singled with two outs, stole second, and then trotted home on Beckham’s two-run shot.

Chicago took a 5-2 lead with three runs in the fourth.

Marlins 6, Cubs 5: Garrett Jones hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning, and Miami rallied to beat visiting Chicago.

Adeiny Hechavarria started the Marlins’ seventh with a bunt single for his fourth hit. Rafael

Furcal had a two-out, two-run single in the fourth for his first RBIs since 2012.

Hard-luck Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija allowed three runs – two earned – in six innings, but was again denied a victory.

The Cubs are 4-11 when he starts, even though his ERA is 2.78.

Luis Valbuena’s RBI double in the seventh gave Chicago a 4-3 lead, but Miami rallied against Brian Schlitter (2-2).

Michael Wacha escaped a pair of jams with strikeouts, Yadier Molina hit his first homer in nearly 4 weeks, and St. Louis

Lynch putting in extra work HUSKIE

CONTINUED FROM B1

Although Lynch averaged 20 carries and 137.1 yards per game last year as a college senior, working full-time at running back is – in his words – a night and day difference.

Where playing quarterback was more mental than physical, Lynch finds himself focusing on being the bruising type of runner Bears general manager Phil Emery liked when he decided to take a chance on Lynch, who grew up only 45 minutes from the Bears training facilities.

It’s a physical running style that seems to suit Lynch just fine, putting his emphasis on trying to digest as much of the Bears running game as he possibly can. He spends extra time on the practice field working with Bears running backs coach Skip Peete, while also relying on teammates like Matt Forte, who doesn’t fight the same job security issues that Lynch does.

Understanding that he likely will have a difficult time making the Bears’ 53-man roster, all Lynch

team. For Lynch, that means spending extra hours in the film room trying to pick up on schemes and other tidbits that could help him succeed.

Still, holding down a roster spot won’t be easy.

Heading into this week’s mandatory mini-camp, and then throughout next month’s training camp, Lynch will continue to try and convince his coaches he is worth keeping around.

He is well aware of what he is up against, but AP won’t allow the size of Jordan Lynch can’t handle a pass during Bears the challenge, or those practice on Tuesday in Lake Forest.

Think about all of the choices

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Robert Fritz, who developed Structural Dynamics, said, “If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.”

I have mentioned before that it pays to pause and consider your options, not just play on autopilot. This deal is another good example. South is in four spades.

How should the defense proceed after West leads the heart ace?

When you have 5-4-2-2 distribution and the right count for one no-trump, open in your five-card suit when it is a major. If the five-card suit is a minor, open one notrump with strong doubletons or when your rebid might be

uncomfortable if you start with one of your long suit.

Here, if North opens one diamond and South responds one heart, North has an easy one-spade rebid. So North

should open one diamond.

After South actually bid one spade, North had just enough to raise to four spades. But if North had settled for three spades, South would probably have raised to game, although he might have rebid three no-trump, the game contract that is unbeatable.

After taking the first trick, West will continue with the heart king. But what does he do next?

There are two answers to that question: Cash the club ace to save the overtrick or take two club tricks. It all depends upon East. He should realize that his side needs two heart and two club winners. So it must be right to ruff his partner’s heart king and shift to a club. As you can see, this is the only way to defeat the contract. © 2014 UFS

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You should concentrate on romantic and sentimental issues.

It’s likely someone you love feels the same way, so make plans to do something special.
