Engineer: New road repair process a big money-saver

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

STERLING – A new process being used to repair Whiteside County’s roads could save the county a lot of money – like, $500,000-per-stretch-ofroad money.

It’s a process called “road recycling.” In it, the top 4 inches of pavement are ground up, oil is added into the mixture, then it’s relaid and sealed.

In addition to costing less, recycled roads are also expected to last longer and require fewer repairs, Whiteside

County Engineer Russ Renner said. It’s not untried – Henry County has been doing for years.

The “old-school” way of repairing roads was to just keep laying down layers of “hot mix,” but that wouldn’t solve the problem of cracked roads so much as provide a temporary fix. The already-there cracks would reappear after a time, then eventually more hot mix would be added, making the roads thicker and thicker until about 30 years down the road, when they’re torn up and the process begins again.

RECYCLING CONTINUED ON A5

Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com

Thanks to a process called “road recycling,” repairs to a 5-mile stretch of Sand Road near Erie will cost Whiteside County $500,000 to $600,000, rather than the $1 million conventional resurfacing methods would cost.

The region’s Head Start preschool program, which serves families in nine counties, will receive enough federal funding to bring back the 90 children lost to last year’s automatic federal budget cuts, officials say.

Head Start, administered by Rock Falls-based Tri-County Opportunities Council, will receive $4,743,943 in Terri grant money Lawrence from the U.S. Tri-County D e p a r t m e n t president/CEO of Health and Human Services.

The agency’s fiscal year usually begins April 1, but federal budget woes have taken funding off schedule, requiring that it be prorated. The grant covers a funding period that runs from Tuesday through March 31, 2015.

Two men accused of sexually assaulting 14-year old girl

BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

AMBOY – Two men, one from Amboy, are charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl Monday in a wooded area near town.

Alejandro Ceja, 22, of Cicero, and Joseph A. Castillo Jr., 18, were arrested Wednesday.

Ceja, charged with aggravated criminal sexual abuse and criminal sexual assault, still was in Lee County Jail on Thursday on $250,000 bond. He has a status hearing July 16.

Castillo, charged with criminal sexual abuse, is

Joseph A. Castillo Jr.

free after posting $500 of his $5,000 bond. He also has a status hearing July 16.

According to the probable cause affidavit, a court document in which the Lee County Sheriff’s investigators provide their reasons for charging the men: The girl said the two men gave her lemon-

ade spiked with rum and smoked marijuana with her until she was intoxicated, then led her into the woods and assaulted her. She described clothing she had lost during the assault; investigators later found her clothes where she said she lost them.

Castillo admitted he and Ceja had sex with the girl, the affidavit says.

Ceja also was arrested in Lee County in March and charged with felony possession of marijuana, and with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors. That case is pending.

STERLING

Injured resident upgraded to fair condition

BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

STERLING – A 56-yearold Sterling man seriously injured in a home invasion Tuesday was upgraded to fair condition Thursday at a Rockford hospital.

No arrests have been made in the incident, which happened around noon in the 1300 block of Griswold Avenue.

The man, whose name has not been released, was taken to CGH Medical Center then flown to OSF Saint Anthony Hospital.

Police have declined to provide any detail on his injuries, including how they were inflicted, although they did say it appears no weapons were involved.

This home invasion follows another one that happened in the 300 block

of Seventh Avenue on Sunday morning, in which a man and a teenage boy were treated at CGH Medical Center for minor injuries and released. The two incidents appear to be unrelated, police said.

Anyone with information on incident can contact Sterling Police at tipline@sterling-il.gov or 815-632-6640, or Whiteside County Crime Stoppers, 815-625-7867.

associates and a parttime assistant manager, spokeswoman Kelly Evanovich said Thursday. A tentative opening date of July 24 has been set.

If they have one, prospective associates should bring a resume to the job fair, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not required, Evanovich said.

Changing up her route proved to be fortuitous

Interactive feature links publicationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s photos to phones

BY DENNIS YOHNKA The Daily Journal

CLIFTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Daily Journal definitely doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t promise lifesaving services with each subscription, but it might have felt that way to Donna Berns, of Clifton.

In the classic livealone scenario, Berns fell and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get up after an accident in her kitchen last week.

Her daughter, Dee Anna Hillebrand, of Herscher, insisted that she have an emergency alarm system for just this sort of circumstance. But that device was out of her reach on a counter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was just lucky that it was a warm day, and she had the front door open,â&#x20AC;? Hillebrand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And she was lucky that Karyn was listening.â&#x20AC;?

The Daily Journal carrier, Karyn Edwards, has been on the job since 2008. Berns was a fairly new customer on her route, but they were acquainted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew she would be coming, so when I heard her, I yelled,â&#x20AC;?

Berns said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could hear her through the screen door,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went in and she said

MCT News Service

AP Photo/The Daily Journal, Tiffany Blanchette

Donna Berns (left) and Karyn Edwards, both of Clifton, reunite June 6 at Miller Rehabilitation Center in Kankakee. Berns, who suffered a broken hip when she fell in her kitchen, said she might have been stuck inside her home for 12 hours, had Edwards, her newspaper carrier, not arrived and called for help. to press the button [on her emergency device].

She wanted to get up, but I knew that could be a problem. So, I stayed with her on the floor until help came.â&#x20AC;?

Berns was diagnosed with a broken hip. She underwent surgery at Riverside Medical Center and, in recent days, has been receiving livein physical therapy at the Miller Rehabilitation Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She might have laid there for another 7 hours. Or she might have been there overnight,â&#x20AC;? Hillebrand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just so glad that

Karyn was there so quick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I deliver about 250 papers, in Ashkum and Clifton,â&#x20AC;? Edwards said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I usually do Ashkum first. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why I decided to do Clifton first that day.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I did.â&#x20AC;?

District sales manager Larry Campbell noted that carriers are trained to check on customers if newspapers arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being picked up from the porch, but added that this incident was a special case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to get your route done quickly, but paying attention to

the customers is always important,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Karyn is one of those people who makes time to get to know her customers. And weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all glad that she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in too big a hurry to hear Mrs. Berns and check in on her.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know people probably only call to complain, but I have to say Karyn is just awesome,â&#x20AC;?

Hillebrand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I should tell you: I really loved getting the paper [even before this incident],â&#x20AC;? Berns said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the stories, and I especially like to see the ads.â&#x20AC;?

ILLINOIS | PENSIONS

IN BRIEF

Village seeks private fire department It repeatedly shirked payments to fund SPRINGFIELD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One of a number of Illinois towns struggling with increasing pension costs wants to save money by shifting control of its fire department to a private company â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a rare move, village officials argue, is the only option because they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make any more cuts or raise taxes.

The village of North Riverside pitched the cost-saving proposal before state regulators Thursday at a Chicago hearing after being summoned for repeatedly shirking payments into its firefighter and police retirement funds. Mayor

Hubert Hermanek estimates the village could save $700,000 annually by privatizing its fire department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just keeps getting harder and harder to make these contributions, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not fair for

the residents to cut services and lay off people, which would cut down the services and their safety,â&#x20AC;? Hermanek said.

In 2016, state law requires cities to make required contribution increases so theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll reach 90 percent funding by 2040. If cities donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, the

state will begin doing it for them by diverting grant money now used elsewhere directly into pension funds.

Many cities have pushed off payments, and the Department of Insurance is meeting with some of the worst offenders to create a funding plan.

FULTON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A new technology showcased by Fulton High School students is wowing administrators.

Aurasma, a cutting-edge smartphone application, facilitates digital interaction with the 2013-14 school yearbook. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in education for 17 years, and the students at this school seem more interested and intuned to technology and staying on the edge of it,â&#x20AC;?

Chris Tennyson, principal at Fulton High, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me this [yearbook feature] says everything about what Fulton High School is.â&#x20AC;?

Instead of a traditional yearbook that features photo collages and school pictures, the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s yearbook now allows students and parents to see videos and slideshows of different high school events throughout the year.

Jeff Hoeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s media publications class and yearbook group were the masterminds behind the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Hoese approached me about this new app and my first thought was, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What is this going to cost?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Tennyson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he said there

would be no cost to the school or to his program, I said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Absolutely, go for it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

The free app, compatible with Apple and Android devices, scans an icon located on a variety of photos in the yearbook, which opens the viewer to a video playback of that photo.

It could be a photo of students dancing at prom, or of a game-winning basket at a Steamers basketball game. As long as the Aurasma image is on the photo, it is interactive with the app.

Though the 2013-14 yearbooks are not yet available, Tennyson was able to preview the app through a sample image and said he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe what he was seeing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My initial reaction when I saw it was I was speechless for about 30 seconds,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that this app brought a picture from our yearbook to life.

I was pretty much in awe at what it can do.â&#x20AC;?

Though the awe-invoking technology is available nationwide, Tennyson said few schools use the feature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Hoeseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Media Publications class is that class that stays ahead of the technological abilities that we have at the school,â&#x20AC;? Tennyson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the cutting edge of what happens in the technology world.â&#x20AC;?

Program serves more than 800 families in area HEAD START

CONTINUED FROM A1

The grant is Head Startâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only funding source, said Terri Lawrence, Tri-County president and CEO. It has become much more competitive over the years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be automatic, but every year you must compete for funding,â&#x20AC;? Lawrence said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have received it every year, but now there are 17,020 performance standards with very strict monitoring.â&#x20AC;?

Enabling the program to bring back those 90 children and return to its pre-sequestration enrollment was part of the grant proposal, Lawrence said. She believes this level of funding will accomplish that goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We received a little more than last year, because we had funding reduced for sequestration,â&#x20AC;? Lawrence said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This level of funding is comparable to 2 years ago, so we expect to be able to bring most, if not all, of those kids back.â&#x20AC;?

When Tri-County was started in 1965, it served only three counties.

Head Start was added as a school-year program in 1978, and the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reach gradually has expanded. With 230 employees, it now covers a 5,500-square-mile area.

It has been able to run smoothly in her 30-plus years with Tri-County, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have satellite offices in Princeton and LaSalle, and things have worked well over all the years of expansion,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a good infrastructure in place.â&#x20AC;?

grant Thursday, 17th District Congresswoman Cheri Bustos called the funding â&#x20AC;&#x153;an important investment in our regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth and the larger communityâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] grant will help children and families in our district get a jumpstart on a quality education and allow our young people to develop the skills they need to excel and be healthy and productive members of our communities,â&#x20AC;? Bustos said in a news release.

Tri-County Head Start serves more than 800 families in Lee, Whiteside, Ogle, Carroll, Bureau, LaSalle, Marshall, Putnam, and Stark counties.

The program provides comprehensive early childhood education, health, nutrition, and parent-involvement services to low-income children and their families. A minimum of 10 percent of the program slots are reserved for disabled children. Services are provided at the center and at the homes of participating families, within several time frames.

ELECTION 2014 | ILLINOIS GOVERNORâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S RACE

School admission of Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter questioned Candidate faces allegations he used money, influence CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The issue of how Republican Bruce Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter was admitted into an elite Chicago public school resurfaced in the Illinois governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race this week with a top school official and Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn raising new questions.

Rauner was dogged by allegations of using his money and influence â&#x20AC;&#x201C; knowing school leaders and giving the school a $250,000 donation â&#x20AC;&#x201C; during the four-way Republican primary.

The venture capitalist trying to unseat Quinn has portrayed himself as a political outsider fighting against such special interests in a state thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous for clout.

However, outgoing Chicago Public Schools Inspector James Sullivan, who investigates waste, fraud and mismanagement for the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest school district, offered information that contradicted some of Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public statements.

One of Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six children was initially denied admission into Walter Payton College Prep in 2008 despite having top grades and test scores, one point Rauner and school officials agree on. But Rauner has said that his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attendance record was marred by ill-

Pat Quinn

ness and hurt her overall admission score, which was the reason for the rejection. He said the family appealed through a principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; discretionary process.

However, Sullivan told The Associated Press on Thursday that Rauner didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use the formalized principalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; process. CPS policy says that principals of selective high schools can use discretion for up to 5 percent of incoming freshmen.

Sullivan said Rauner contacted then-CEO Arne Duncanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, had at least two conversations with a chief aide, and the admission status was changed after the aide called the principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very bright kid. She was close and just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it,â&#x20AC;? Sullivan said of the initial rejection. For exclusive schools such as Walter Payton, numerous factors including race, grades, attendance and test scores are considered.

Rauner, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worked on education issues for years, has changed his stance on whether he talked to Duncan or school officials about the admission. At first, he told reporters he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk to Duncan or his office directly. Later, he

said he did but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recall exact conversations, aside from asking about the admissions process.

Rauner has also said that his foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $250,000 donation to a Walter Payton initiative in 2009 had nothing to do with his daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission the year before. Rauner says he has given money to a lot of schools over the years.

But Quinn, a Chicago Democrat seeking a second full term, called on Rauner on Thursday to offer a detailed explanation. The two are locked into whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to be one of the most competitive and expensive governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s races nationwide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an issue that deals with clout and telling the truth,â&#x20AC;? Quinn told reporters after an unrelated event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anybody thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running for governor better give the full story, all the facts in a truthful manner. So

Rauner campaign spokesman Mike Schrimpf directed specific questions on the daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s record and admission process to school officials. CPS spokesman Joel Hood declined to comment.

Schrimpf called Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s statements an attempt to â&#x20AC;&#x153;bully and tarnishâ&#x20AC;? a studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stellar academic record.

Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s school admission process has been under heavy scrutiny for years.

In 2010, the Chicago Tribune and other media outlets reported the existence of socalled clout lists for business executives, aldermen and others who pushed to get their children into exclusive schools. Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name was included on a list, according to media reports at that time. Few other details were available at the time.

Since then, Rauner has

Project slated for late summer RECYCLING

Recycling the road addresses the root of the problem by grinding up the cracks to begin with, then just using that same material to repave the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like laying hot mix, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not really hot,â&#x20AC;?

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

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

On energy, let government do what it preaches What we think The federal government, which uses lots of energy, preaches conservation, but it is not known for having thermal insulation for the energy and water systems in its buildings. Let an analysis of the potential benefits proceed.

T

he federal government, through the U.S. Department of Energy, has preached energy conservation for years.

A congressman who represents part of the Sauk Valley wants to see that the government practices what it preaches.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-16th District, is interested in finding out how much savings the federal government could realize if it installs thermal insulation for energy and water systems in federal buildings.

You know, insulating water pipes, as the Energy Department has been telling us to do for years on Energy.gov.

The website informs Americans that â&#x20AC;&#x153;[i]nsulating water pipes can save you water, energy, and money.â&#x20AC;?

Such insulation helps the hot water stay hot, and the cold water stay cold, so people need not stand at the sink letting the water run until they get the desired temperature.

Because the federal government is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the single largest consumer of energy in the U.S.,â&#x20AC;? Kinzinger proposed that the Energy Department study the potential savings if energy and water systems were insulated in federal buildings.

Kinzingerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill, the Thermal Insulation Efficiency Improvement Act, was approved this week by a voice vote of House members.

In a news release, Kinzinger said energy savings could be significant. He said estimates show that thermal insulation, over its lifetime, can save up to 500 times the initial costs.

But no one will know for certain what the potential savings might be until a nationwide analysis is conducted.

We like the idea of saving money and resources.

We also like the idea that the federal government should be made to practice what it preaches.

The billâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fate is now up to the Senate. We encourage its prompt approval.

A recent survey ranks Illinois among the most politically corrupt states in the nation. The Land of Lincoln was the fourth most corrupt state, falling in line behind Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee.

With two of the past three governors convicted on felony charges, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to see why residents would expect so little from their state leaders.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the recipe for success.

One thing Illinois lawmakers could do to help improve their image, regain the trust of the public and, just perhaps, spark progress in many areas would be to rewrite the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open meetings and open records laws to create more transparency.

Deals done in secret â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a staple of the Illinois General Assembly, regardless of which political party is in power â&#x20AC;&#x201C; create nothing but suspicion.

Deals done in public allow voters â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the same people government employees and office-

holders pledge to serve â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to have confidence in their leaders.

From local levels of government, Illinois lawmakers should strip away the ability to act in private or to retain information on someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whim.

Those in Illinois government will say nothing will get done if the existing laws are changed. What they mean is their special interests will be exposed if the public can see what they really are up to, or if people really have a chance to examine the records.

Indianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open meeting and open records laws provide an excellent example of how government can operate with a considerable amount of transparency. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not perfect, to be sure, but it allows Hoosiers to easily hold their elected officials and governmental employees accountable.

Besides, what do Illinois officials have to lose? The secrecy built into all layers of government already has eroded the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trust and support.

Shining the light of public scrutiny on how government operates should win back much of that support.

Suburb douses pension â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;fireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Private firm hired to run the fire department Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

North Riverside is a small town with a big problem: It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make its pension payments.

The Cook County suburb of 6,700 people faces a $1.9 million budget deficit. One big reason for the gap is that it has to make a $1.8 million payment to its police and fire retirement funds. North Riverside doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money.

The village canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tax its way out of debt. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t borrow its way out of debt. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait for state lawmakers to fix the problem. It needs a solution, now.

In short, it is much like the city of Chicago and countless municipalities around the state. It is in trouble.

On Monday, the North Riverside Village Board voted 5-1 to contract with a private company to staff its fire department. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a creative answer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and not as risky as it might sound.

sideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firefighter pension fund has only 43 percent of the money needed to meet its obligations. The village didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make full payments in recent years as tax revenues lagged.

THE VILLAGE WAS prompted to act now by a state law that forces local governments to ramp up pension contributions under threat of having sales tax revenue and state funding diverted to the pension plans if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t comply.

North Riverside received a warning last year from the state Department of Insurance. Village officials [were] scheduled to appear Thursday at a department hearing to explain what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do to comply. Earlier this month, Moodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Investors Service downgraded North Riversideâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit rating.

So, the village has its answer. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a creative one. And we expect youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear a lot of towns making the same decision in coming years.

Nobody else is giving them an answer for their financial woes. They have to find one on their own.

DAY TRIP

Turkey legs, shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pye keep visitors fueled Bristol Renaissance Faire gets ready for new season

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

KENOSHA, Wis. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1599. The weather is warm, the crowds are friendly, and the scents of cooking food fill the air, making stomachs growl.

This is the Bristol Renaissance Faire.

When visitors enter the gates of the 30-acre faire, they realize immediately this is different. While most people around them are dressed in modern clothing, others are in the garb of days gone by or fanciful realms. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to tell who is part of the faire and who is â&#x20AC;&#x153;just visiting.â&#x20AC;?

Once through the gates, expect to be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;milordâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;miladyâ&#x20AC;? at least once. Set aside the life of fast cars and phones and absorb a quieter pace. Or is it quieter? Something always is going on at the faire.

Every weekend, children can take part in the Kids Quest for $5. Designed for those 4 to 10, the quests involve looking for treasure daily at 2 and 4 p.m. at the RenQuest Camp.

Each time period offers a different quest.

Do not despair, adults.

Try one of the stage

If you go What: Bristol Renaissance Faire Where: 12550 120th Ave., Kenosha, Wisconsin When: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, July 5 through Sept. 1 Cost: Adults $23.95, children 5-12 $11.50, 4 and younger free; online tickets are $21.95 for adults and $10 for children. Military and senior discounts are available.

Parking: Free to the far north of the entrance; preferred parking lot is $5. Handicapped parking is available in the preferred lot.

Information and tickets: Go to renfair.com/ bristol or call 847-3957773. shows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;2 Merry Men 7 Deadly Sins,â&#x20AC;? rated R, has Robin Hood and Little John spinning the Wheel of Sin and singing for a show of music and comedy. More choices suitable for families await.

Pirates even get into the picture here. Bluebeardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pressgang Pageant offers

an opportunity to be interviewed by Capt.

Bluebeard for a spot in his crew on stage. As they say at the faire, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Interested parties will be interviewed live [as opposed to the alternative].â&#x20AC;? The new crew will receive a certificate.

Music, comedy, drama and dancing can be found on the stages and the fairgrounds. The problem is not in finding something to do; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in choosing what to do. Featured throughout the day are a bounty of shoppes, a variety of food and drink, and plenty of games and rides.

One of the most popular shows is the jousting. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to get there early to get a good place to watch.

With regard to food, forget an everyday hamburger and branch out. Look for fish â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;n chips, pizza pyes, turkey drumsticks, shepherdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pye, shrimp tempura, golden grilled pineapple, and monkey tails (chocolate-covered bananas on a stick).

Also keep an eye open for the queen. Queen Elizabeth will be there in regal splendor. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elizabeth Tudor, by the Photo submitted by Bristol Renaissance Faire way.

MOVIE REVIEW | TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION

New installment plays like a never-ending popcorn picture

BY ROGER MOORE MCT News Service

The special effects are sharper, less blurred, and the robots far more defined in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transformers: Age of Extinction.â&#x20AC;? Four films into this series, and the giant thinking, wisecracking, lecturing alien robots have a look that finally suggests weight and metallic wear and tear.

Stanley Tucci and T.J. Miller come in as human comical relief, and John Goodman and Ken Watanabe provide new voices, sometimes used for comedy, as new Autobots.

And if â&#x20AC;&#x153;Age of Extinctionâ&#x20AC;? makes you feel dumber just for having watched it, well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the price of popcorn these days. If it keeps Michael Bay out of trouble for years at a time (this is the start of a new trilogy), weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just grit our teeth and bare it.

Five years since â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Battle of Chicago,â&#x20AC;? the Decepticons have been wiped out, their metal salvaged by a rich industrialist (Tucci). But an alien robot bounty hunter named Lock Down has come in and teamed with a rogue C.I.A. megalomaniac (Kelsey Grammer) to try and wipe out or capture the last of the Autobots. All aliens must go.

Meanwhile, in rural Texas, inventor and scrap collector Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) is try-

Running time: 2:45 The wisecracks are pretty worn out by now.

But Goodman, as a portly Autobot sergeant chomping an electronic cigar (the one product placement the movie missed), spits out a few in between gunfights.

Which are plentiful in this â&#x20AC;&#x153;Transformers,â&#x20AC;? a movie with a staggering, mostly unseen body count. The language is rougher, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mayhem â&#x20AC;&#x201C; much of it on the crowded streets, apartment high rises, ferries and trains of Hong Kong â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that boggles the mind.

When he and his partner, Lucas (T.J. Miller of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Out of My Leagueâ&#x20AC;?), resurrect the old truck and it burbles to life as an outraged Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen, the luckiest man in show business), their world gets complicated.

Jack Reynor plays the beau that high school senior Tessa is not supposed to be dating. Luckily for everybody, this Irish-accented lad is a rally driver, and in the filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best chase, saves father and daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bacon hurtling through the Texas cornfields.

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not calling him â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lucky Charmsâ&#x20AC;? as an insult.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re running out of lectures for Optimus to give us about our treacherous, violent nature, running out of ways to transform (digital disintegration in some scenes, here), running out of Transformers to be turned into toys (metal dinosaurs? Space ships?).

Leftover lingerie still lingers in dresser Dear Abby: I have been seeing my boyfriend for 5 months. He still has some of his ex-girlfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lingerie in his dresser. When we first got involved, he showed it to me and asked if I wanted any. I said no thanks.

Now that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more invested in the relationship, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like him to get rid of it. He is currently out of town, traveling for a month. Would it be inappropriate for me to throw away these â&#x20AC;&#x153;trinketsâ&#x20AC;? without consulting him? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Setting Boundaries in Arizona Dear Setting Bound-

It made me feel kind of bad, especially the next day when I saw his wife.

My niece said I shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel bad because it was a compliment and I should be glad I still attract attention at 60. My feeling is, if you think about it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infidelity.

Dear Old-Fashioned: I think what your neighbor said was less â&#x20AC;&#x153;infidelityâ&#x20AC;? than â&#x20AC;&#x153;lust in his heart.â&#x20AC;? But in a sense, Dear Abby: I was recent- he did make a pass,

because when he said what he did, he signaled to you that he could be interested.

Cut him some slack this time and chalk it up to having been paid a compliment. But if he says it again, tell him it bothers you because you like his wife and think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s insulting to her.

I gave her a chance, but she got drunk â&#x20AC;&#x201C; something she does often â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and insulted my mother.

Obviously, my mother and Todd are my priorities.

Todd and I do not want her at our wedding because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get drunk and make a scene, but how do we manage that?

IRAQ

Shiites pushing for al-Malikiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal Bomb kills 12 in neighborhood; police find 8 bodies near capital BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Prominent Shiite leaders pushed Thursday for the removal of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as parliament prepared to start work next week on putting together a new government, under intense U.S. pressure to rapidly form a united front against an unrelenting Sunni insurgent onslaught.

Increasingly, the Shiite al-Malikiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former allies believe he cannot lead an inclusive government that can draw minority Sunnis away from support for the fighters who have swept over a large swath of Iraq as they head toward the

capital, Baghdad. In a further sign of Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unraveling along sectarian lines, a bombing Thursday killed 12 people in a Shiite neighborhood of Baghdad that houses a revered shrine, and police found the bullet-riddled bodies of eight Sunnis south of the capital.

Most crucially, though, backing for al-Maliki is weakening with his most important ally, neighboring Iran.

A senior Iranian general who met with Shiite politicians in Iraq during a 10-day visit this month returned home with a list of potential prime minister candidates for Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

AP

An Iraqi woman who fled her village holds her daughter Thursday near a Kurdish checkpoint, in the Khazer area between the Iraqi city of Mosul and the Kurdish city of Irbil. leadership to consider, several senior Iraqi Shiite politicians who have knowledge of the generalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings told The Associated Press.

Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, wants al-Maliki to remain in his post, at least for now, the politicians said, but Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moderate pres-

ident, Hassan Rouhani, believes al-Maliki must go or else Iraq will fragment. Khamenei holds final say in all state matters in Iran, but the politicians expressed doubt he would insist on al-Maliki against overwhelming rejection of him by Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shiite parties.

The general, Ghasem Soleimani, is expected to return within days to inform Iraqi politicians of Tehranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite, they said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the internal deliberations.

Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shiite cleric-led government succeeded in herding reluctant Shiite parties into backing al-Maliki for a second term 4 years ago, and its leverage over Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shiite political establishment

has grown significantly since the 2011 withdrawal of U.S. troops after an 8-year presence.

Non-Arab and mostly Shiite, Iran has found in majority Shiite Iraq a convenient vehicle to extend its sphere of regional influence to the heart of the Middle East.

Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leverage in Iraq also gives it a trump card against its Sunni rivals in the Gulf region, where powerhouse Saudi Arabia, for example, has traditionally viewed Tehran with suspicion.

The United States and its allies are pushing for the creation of a government that can draw support among Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sunni minority, which has been alienated by al-Maliki, seen as a fiercely partisan Shiite.

WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A giant food service company unexpectedly reversed course Thursday after bumping thousands of college cafeteria workers from its health plan earlier this year and pointing a finger at President Barack Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overhaul.

Sodexoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience could serve as a cautionary tale for other employers trying to pin benefit reductions on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obamacare.â&#x20AC;? The

companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cutbacks fueled a union organizing drive and campus protests.

Julie Peterson, Sodexoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice president for benefits, said the company will make changes for next year to restore eligibility for many of those affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We think that overall, this is going to result in about the same number of employees being eligible as in the past,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson said. The latest

shift grew out of a regular review of company policy, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve realized we can change the way we are determining eligibility and still remain competitive in the market,â&#x20AC;?

Peterson explained.

Among those who lost their coverage through Sodexo this year was Julie Pemberton, a cashier at Curry College, a liberal arts institution near Boston.

Pemberton puts in

more than 40 hours a week during the academic year. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paying more than $200 a month more in premiums since she switched to a plan from the Massachusetts health insurance exchange. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually looking for a new apartment, because this is just draining any savings I have,â&#x20AC;? said Pemberton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just keep paying and paying and paying.â&#x20AC;?

WORLD CUP | AMERICANS WATCHING SOCCER

U.S. second only to Brazil in ticket sales Size of population, popularity growth two main reasons CHAMPAIGN (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Surprised the United States is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-largest market for World Cup tickets, behind only host Brazil? Experts say you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be.

FIFA, soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s global governing body, says about 200,000 tickets were sold in the United States, many through an online lottery months ago.

Insurance agent Zach Rambach of Springfield and five buddies spent about $5,000 each on their â&#x20AC;&#x153;bucket listâ&#x20AC;? trip to the tournament. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see four games, including U.S. vs. Germany, played Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t relive this. To go to the mecca of soccer, Brazil, just the excitement, the atmosphere and how unbelievably excited they are about their team,â&#x20AC;? Rambach, 31, said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have paid triple for it, I really would have.â&#x20AC;?

FIFA reported about 20,000 American fans attended the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening game against Ghana â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about half of the crowd. Nishant Tella, a vice president at the New York City investment bank Inner Circle Sports, was among them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fervor was there, everyone was fired up,â&#x20AC;?

Tella, 31, said.

Here are some factors that make the United States a primary market for soccerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest event:

While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough to say exactly how popular soccer is as a spectator sport, television viewership suggests World Cup interest isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something entirely new.

Fans cheer for the United States as they watch a Brazil 2014 World Cup soccer match between the U.S. menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team and Germany on Thursday at Grant Park in Chicago.

People and money, and lots of both The United States is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-largest country by population, with more than 318.9 million residents, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That dwarfs many of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer powers.

If only 10 percent of Americans follow soccer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; roughly 30 million people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three times the population of a soccer hotbed such as Belgium (population 10.5 million). The United Kingdom, the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthplace, has a population of about 63.7 million, about a fifth of the size of the United States.

The United States also is among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most affluent countries. Only a handful have higher per capita

incomes, according to The World Bank, and they tend to be small countries like Kuwait, Australia, Switzerland and Sweden.

The combination of size and money is â&#x20AC;&#x153;the primary factorâ&#x20AC;? behind the sales, according to Lau-

Plant the Seeds of Goodness Most people have good hearts and would like to see the world transformed into one where love and compassion are the dominant motives, but unfortunately, the world isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so easily transformed.

Hatred, violence and pugnacity are deeply seated in the human psyche, and XLI IZMPHSMRK [LMGL žS[W JVSQ XLIWI sources is strongly resistant to change. So, how might we work to transform the world into a better place?

There are many ways to make the world better. Gandhi suggested that â&#x20AC;&#x153;We must become the change we want to see in this world.â&#x20AC;? Jesus counseled us to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.â&#x20AC;? And, the law of karma claims that if we treat others well, our good deeds will return to us. Surely, there is some simple, yet profound wisdom in all of this.The quiet, unassuming example of a good person is often more effective at inducing change than the self-righteous moralist on their soapbox. Perhaps the attempt to transform the world into a better place is more like planting a seed than inducing a wholesale change of heart. And although we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know which of our kind words or actions will take root and grow in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart, we should keep on planting those seeds and watering them with the hope that they will grow.

And other seeds fell into good soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing and yielding thirtyfold and sixtyfold and a hundredfold.

SOUTHWESTERN ILLINOIS

Scott AFB lands cyber-security squadrons New defense additions set to bring 320 jobs within 2 years MASCOUTAH (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The addition of two cyber-security squadrons to an Air Force base in southwestern Illinois will bring 320 new jobs within 2 years and a $16 million investment in the site, members of Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; congressional delegation announced.

Scott Air Force Base near Mascoutah, just east of St. Louis, and another in Texas won the competition among seven finalists for the protection squads, which guard against attacks on the

nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer networks, identify hackers, stop the attacks and fix the damage.

Such personnel also pose as hackers, trying to crack into military, Pentagon or other national computer systems.

Calling the Air Forceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cyber-security operations â&#x20AC;&#x153;critically important to our national security efforts,â&#x20AC;? Sen. Dick Durbin said he is â&#x20AC;&#x153;always proud to see Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense installations play such an important and dynamic part of

our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense.â&#x20AC;?

Durbin, a Democrat, chairs the defense subcommittee of the Senate Appropriations Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a 35-year member of the military, I can tell you that this addition is a huge win for Scott,â&#x20AC;? added U.S. Rep. Bill Enyart, a Democrat who once headed the Illinois National Guard and now serves on the House Armed Services Committee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a direct message from the Air Force about Scottâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS | THREE RIVERS CONFERENCE

NBA DRAFT

Bulls give two for one star Package pair of picks for Doug McDermott

BY K.C. JOHNSON Chicago Tribune

SVM File photos

After a single year of competition in an expanded Three Rivers Conference, the league is making some notable changes that will take effect immediately. For sports other than football, the league will be divided into East-West divisions for the 2014-15 school year. In 2015-16, the 15-team league will not have divisions for all sports other than football. Football will remain North-South.

On the sixth anniversary of selecting Derrick Rose, the Bulls didn’t have the No. 1 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft.

But they own a No. 1 target.

And he was drafted third overall 11 years ago.

Everything the Bulls do these days has free-agent-to-be Carmelo Anthony in the background, and that includes their acquisition of NCAA national player of the year Doug McDermott.

In the last draft night at the soon-to-be-vacated Berto Center, the Bulls packaged picks 16 and 19 and a 2015 secondround pick for the rights to McDermott, whom they had scouted heavily and the Nuggets drafted with the 11th pick.

Though the two-for-one move only saved the Bulls about $329,000, it could make Mike Dunleavy and his expiring $3.3 million deal expendable.

model and shift to an open 15-team conference format, eliminating divisions in all sports except for football.

The upcoming 2014-15 school year will also experience a change as the conference adjusted from its North-South split, to an East-West format.

Football is the only sport that is not affected by the recent changes, and will continue to be played under the current North-South system because of the fewer games played, making scheduling games easier in the division format, and allows for division standings which are crucial to postseason seeding.

RECIFE, Brazil – They heard about people back home watching during their lunch breaks, streaming on office computers or playing hooky with fellow fans. And then, as the bus pulled away from the hotel Thursday, the U.S. World Cup team was struck with an unusual sight.

Hundreds, maybe thousands of fans in red, white and blue, walking for miles around stalled cars through nearly hip-high water along flooded streets and AP highways, making their way to United States fans react while watching the final minutes of the the stadium to cheer them on.

No late goals in this one. Not even a win. But despite a 1-0 loss to Germany, the United States was good enough to advance to the knockout stage

of consecutive World Cups for the first time and good enough to hold onto the national attention that soccer has finally grabbed in America.

“I’m getting emails from people who work at companies where the executives have called a 3-hour break and put on giant screens,” U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said. “All of this ... is pretty extraordinary, and that will build for the next few days.”

Thomas Mueller scored off a rebound in the 55th minute to give Germany first place in Group G with seven points.

WORLD CUP ROUNDUP

Too little, too late Ronaldo scores, but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t save Portugal from elimination

Friday

"Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Cristiano Ronaldo finally made his mark at the World Cup â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but it came too late to spare Portugal an early exit from Brazil on Thursday in a 2-1 win over Ghana.

The world player of the year broke his scoring drought at the tournament with an 80th-minute winner against Ghana.

That result left the Portuguese level on four points with United States in Group G, but with an inferior goal difference to the second-place Americans, who lost 1-0 to Germany in Recife.

Ghana also was eliminated, finishing at the bottom of the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew we had to score three goals and were depending on the result of the Germany game, and we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that,â&#x20AC;? Ronaldo said.

Ronaldo barely celebrated after slamming home his goal, giving Portugal its first win after a 4-0 loss to Germany and 2-2 draw with the U.S. Algeria 1, Russia 1: Algeria qualified for the World Cup knockout stages for the first time, with Islam Slimaniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heading in an equalizer in the 60th minute to give his team enough competition points to reach the second round.

Algeria placed second in Group H behind Belgium with four points, meaning it will meet Germany in the Round of 16.

The victory prompted mass celebrations on the pitch among the players, and had coach Vahid Halilhodzic shaking his head with disbelief.

Russia, needing a win to advance, went on the attack from

Portugalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s William Carvalho fights for the ball with Ghanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asamoah Gyan during Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match in Brazil. Portugal won 2-1, but both teams were eliminated from World Cup play. the start and dominated the first half with its intricate and swift passing movements through midfield. The Russians took the lead as early as the 6th minute when Alexander Kokorin powerfully headed in a left-foot cross from Dmitry Kombarov.

Belgium 1, South Korea 0:

Reduced to 10 men for more than half the match, Belgium still edged South Korea to finish on top of Group H and eliminate the last Asian team from the World Cup.

With a late goal yet again, Belgium made the difference in the 78th minute when defender Jan Vertonghen followed up a shot from teenage striker Divock Origi and tapped in the rebound. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We knew all games were going to be tough,â&#x20AC;? said Belgium coach Marc Wilmots. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But even with 10 men, we still pushed forward.

These guys are really hungry.â&#x20AC;?

After three narrow victories and precious little beautiful play, Belgium will now play the United States in Salvador on Tuesday.

Score updates takes pressure off U.S. MOVE

CONTINUED FROM B1

The Americans held onto second when Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1 in a game played simultaneously in Brasilia.

Two minutes after Muellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal, Ghanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Asamoah Gyan tied the score, leaving his team one goal from matching the U.S. with four points and moving ahead on the second tiebreaker, goals scored. But then Cristiano Ronaldo put the Portuguese back ahead in the 80th, giving the Americans a little margin for error.

On the sideline, U.S. goalkeeper coach Chris Woods used his fingers to signal â&#x20AC;&#x153;2-1â&#x20AC;? to Tim Howard. But Howard was unsure which team was ahead. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then Woods gave the thumbs up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in our favor,â&#x20AC;? Besler said.

Around the same time, the American fans behind the other goal

started cheering, having learned of Ronaldoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal from whatever electronic device they had brought along. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kind of calmed me down the last 5 minutes a little bit,â&#x20AC;? U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said.

Portugal opened with a 4-0 loss to Germany and tied the U.S. 2-2 on Sunday with a 95th-minute goal, so the U.S. had an even goal difference, while the Portuguese were at minus three.

The Americans advance to a roundof-16 game Tuesday in Salvador against Belgium.

They started celebrating at the final whistle, 30 seconds before the other game ended. The script was similar to that of 2002, when the U.S. opened with a 3-2 win over Portugal, then tied South Korea 1-1 and lost to Poland 3-0. The Americans advanced 12 years ago, because South Korea defeated the Portuguese on an 80th-minute goal.

Justin Ruggianoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twoout, two-run double broke a tie in the seventh inning, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 5-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Thursday.

Starlin Castro had two RBIs, and Anthony Rizzo went 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored.

The Cubs had dropped four of five games before the win.

Denard Span went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs for the Nationals.

Neither starter was involved in the decision.

The Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Travis Wood gave up three runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings, and was hurt most by five walks. Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doug Fister also allowed three runs on seven hits.

Cubs reliever Neil Ramirez (1-1) got the win, and Hector Rondon pitched a perfect ninth for his ninth save.

Cubs center fielder Junior Lake had to leave in the second inning after crashing into a door in the outside wall at Wrigley Field chasing a drive

by Ryan Zimmerman. The wall is not covered with ivy. The Cubs said Lake has shown no signs of a concussion and has some bruises, including one on his head.

Starting for the first time since May 19, White Sox right-hander Scott Carroll (2-4) allowed five runs and nine hits in five innings. Carroll, who walked two and struck out four, returned to the rotation in place of Andre Rienzo, who was moved to the bullpen.

Chicago was coming off a 12-inning loss at Baltimore on Wednesday that saw them blow a four-run lead in the eighth, then endure a rain delay in extra innings.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio â&#x20AC;&#x201C;The Cavaliers chose potential over power.

By selecting Kansas swingman Andrew Wiggins over Dukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jabari Parker with the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night, the Cavs are getting a talented, perimeter player who could blossom into a superstar.

And, who knows, maybe play alongside LeBron James.

The 19-year-old Wiggins, who averaged 17.1 points and 5.9 rebounds as a freshman at Kansas, would have likely been the top pick a year ago, when the Cavs took forward Anthony Bennett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All of our scouts felt he had the most upside,â&#x20AC;? Cavs general manager David Griffin said.

The Cavs debated over Wiggins and Parker for days before finalizing their choice in the last hours leading into the draft.

There was a reported rift between AP Griffin, who preferred Parker, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver (left) congratulates Andrew Wiggins, owner Dan Gilbert, who wanted who was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the No. 1 pick in the Wiggins. However, 2 hours before 2014 NBA draft Thursday in New York. the draft started, Gilbert posted a photo of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision room First round on his Twitter account with the words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;United and busy.â&#x20AC;? !NDREW 7IGGINS #AVALIERS 3& +ANSAS The selection of Wiggins came a *ABARI 0ARKER "UCKS 3& $UKE day after the Cavs introduced new *OEL %MBIID ERS # +ANSAS coach David Blatt, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the !ARON 'ORDON -AGIC 0& !RIZONA next step in a 2-week stretch that $ANTE %XUM *AZZ 0' !USTRALIA could re-shape Clevelandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fran -ARCUS 3MART #ELTICS 0' /+ 3TATE chise for the next decade. *ULIUS 2ANDLE ,AKERS 0& +ENTUCKY On Tuesday, the team can begin .ICK 3TAUSKAS +INGS 3' -ICHIGAN contract negotiations with All .OAH 6ONLEH (ORNETS 0& )NDIANA Star point guard Kyrie Irving on a %LFRID 0AYTON -AGIC 0' ,AFAYETTE 5-year contract extension.

Bulls add Bairstow with second-round pick ONE

Round Two

CONTINUED FROM B1

The Bulls also absorbed Anthony Randolphâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expiring $1.825 million deal into a trade exception the Luol Deng deal created. This deal added salary and perhaps spoke to how much the Bulls coveted McDermott, who averaged 26.7 points his senior season at Creighton.

As a 4-year player, McDermott fits the draft profile of experience that Forman and top basketball executive John Paxson favor. Though considered far more than a

s 7ITH THE TH OVERALL PICK THE "ULLS SELECTED #AMERON "AIRSTOW FROM .EW -EXICO 4HE !USTRALIAN FORWARD AVER AGED POINTS AND REBOUNDS HIS SENIOR season. shooter, who can score a variety of ways, McDermott did shoot 45.8 percent from 3-point range. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know this would be a great spot for me,â&#x20AC;?

McDermott said at last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA draft combine after meeting with the Bulls. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going, and how comfortable I was

in that meeting. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re real familiar with my game and have seen me play a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Indeed, McDermott even attended a Bulls-Wizards playoff game. And he hails from Ames, Iowa, home to the same Iowa State that once employed Forman and former Bulls coach Tim Floyd. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Obviously, with Rose returning, he draws a lot of attention, so I feel like my outside shooting could really help them,â&#x20AC;?

McDermott said at the combine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a much better defender than people give me credit for. I can really understand the team

concept of defense, and Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a place where I could fit in.â&#x20AC;?

McDermott already has the college connection with fellow Creighton product and former Bull Kyle Korver, whom he joked he outjumped in the vertical test at the combine.

And now the focus shifts to free agency.

The Bulls would have only $11-to-12 million of salary-cap space, if they use the amnesty provision on Carlos Boozer, so additional moves would have to be made to gain Anthony, whom the Rockets, Mavericks and Lakers also covet.

Ohlson because the merge crepointed out that other ates a larger area of travel large conferences, like the to necessary conference

games.

Amboy girls basketball coach Mike McCracken is not in favor of the conferenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent changes, citing that the large, singular division will create longer travel times for the Clippers, who are already alienated in the east section of the area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some schools are way out there,â&#x20AC;? McCracken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are on the east side of everything.â&#x20AC;?

He also noted that he liked the idea of having two division champions, which allows schools with small enrollment numbers such as Amboy, to have a shot at winning a title. That goes out the window with the merger allowing just one champion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like the idea of two champs,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think

thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foolish, because with one champ, and us being a small school down to 235 [kids], it makes it hard for us to compete with these bigger schools weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve added to our conference.â&#x20AC;?

To appease schools on the geographical edges of the conference such as eastern schools Amboy, St. Bede and Hall, and western schools in Rockridge, Sherrard and Riverdale, attempts will be made to schedule games between those schools with long bus rides on Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aim to be the day for closer matchups, though it might not always work out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see any benefit in going to Rockridge for us,â&#x20AC;? McCracken said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I wonder is

if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to play a Rockridge, for instance, what time do you have to leave school? Not to mention what time we would get home.â&#x20AC;?

Morrison baseball coach Ben Sondgeroth spoke about running into time issues whether it be arriving home late, or leaving early in order to make it to games on time.

He notes that his players will have to miss around 45 minutes of school during far away games.

Morrisonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classes end at 3:05 p.m., but in order to reach a game 90 minutes away like some schools in the conference, the bus must leave by 2:20 p.m. to arrive on time so the players have adequate time to warm up. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will mean a lot of

early outs for the kids, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best thing.â&#x20AC;? Sondgeroth said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We let the kids know all of our travel times at the beginning of year, and they know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their responsibility to make up assignments or tests.â&#x20AC;?

Scheduling may also be tricky in the spring, as spring sports fans know the weather is often bad.

So playing long distance conference games on Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s might not be an option, if the day is overbooked with makeups.

Even with several issues, the representatives believe the changes are in the best interest of the kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately we want to provide the best opportunity for the athletes and the kids to succeed.â&#x20AC;? Ohlson said.

Two-year wait is over Nadal finally gets past Rosol at Wimbledon

BY HOWARD FENDRICH !0 4ENNIS 7RITER

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Uncle Toniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction said it all.

This one meant a lot to him and to the tennis player he coaches, his No. 1-ranked nephew Rafael Nadal, who was in a tough spot Thursday, one point from trailing two sets to none against the same guy he lost to â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the same stadium, same round â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 years ago at Wimbledon.

As the younger Nadal began turning things around, evening the match at a set apiece on his opponentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s double-fault, the older Nadal dispensed with any sense of decorum, leaping out his Centre

Nadal at Wimbledon 2003: LOST IN RD ROUND 2005: LOST IN ND ROUND 2006: ND PLACE 2007: ND PLACE 2008: CHAMPION 2010: CHAMPION 2011: ND PLACE 2012 LOST IN ND ROUND 2013: LOST IN FIRST ROUND Court seat, punching the air, and shouting â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vamos!â&#x20AC;?

From there, the ultimate result quickly became apparent. Nadal came back to beat 52nd-ranked Lukas Rosol of the Czech Repub-

lic 4-6, 7-6 (6), 6-4, 6-4, returning to the third round at the All England Club for the first time since 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose another time against a guy like this,â&#x20AC;? Toni Nadal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to lose against a player I find [unprofessional].â&#x20AC;?

In 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second round, Rosol was ranked 100th, and Nadal was on a streak of having reached the final in five consecutive Wimbledon appearances. The bigswinging, 6-foot-5 Rosol played an unrepentantly risky style that day, aiming for lines and putting shots where he wanted, pulling off a five-set victory.

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Gary Player said, “A good golfer has the determination to win and the patience to wait for the breaks.”

At the bridge table, the break in one suit can influence how declarer plays. In this example deal, South is in four spades. West cashes his three top clubs, then shifts to the heart three.

How should declarer continue after taking East’s queen with his ace?

North, despite having a balanced hand, raises to two spades with three good trumps because he is very weak in an unbid suit. If his side belongs in three no-trump, probably South should be the declarer. And here, when South jumps to four spades, he ought to

have at least a five-card suit so that he can guarantee an eight-card fit.

South has nine top tricks: five spades, one heart and three diamonds. He

needs to establish a fourth diamond trick. This will be easy if diamonds are breaking 3-3, but if they are 4-2, declarer will have to ruff a diamond in his hand, draw trumps and be in the dummy to cash the last two diamonds.

The key question is: How are the trumps dividing?

South cashes his spade queen, then plays a spade to dummy’s king. If they split 4-1, declarer will have to draw trumps and hope that the diamonds divide 3-3. Here, though, he next plays a diamond to his ace, returns a diamond to dummy’s queen, ruffs a diamond high in his hand, leads a spade to dummy’s ace (drawing West’s last trump), and cashes the diamond king and six for his contract. © 2014 UFS
