ELECTION 2014 | GOVERNOR’S RACE

ROCK FALLS | RIVER CHASE BOAT RACES

Quinn, Rauner focus on values Candidates zero on families during Sunday’s stops

BY DON BABWIN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – With months to go before the November election, both candidates in the Illinois governor’s race spoke Sunday about helping families.

Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn attended Chicago’s gay pride parade, trying to capitalize on his opponent’s comments about same-sex marriage, while Republican challenger Bruce Rauner spoke at a Mexican restaurant, trying to convince a group that traditionally votes for Democrats that he’s the candidate who shares their values.

Quinn spoke of how families “in Illinois deserve the opportunity to come together,” while Rauner told a Hispanic audience that he wants to help make it easier to provide for their families.

DIXON – The past year has been a roller-coaster ride for Parmalee, the successful country band set to perform at 10 p.m. Thursday on the main stage along the riverfront during Petunia Festival.

“We’ve been touring away, playing all over the country,” Matt Thomas, vocalist and guitarist, said in a phone interview. “We’ve just been hitting the pave-

In fact, the band is named after their hometown of Parmale, North Carolina. The group added an extra “e” at the end to make sure folks pronounced in right.

The band’s small-town roots and family are very important to them, Thomas said.

CLOSER LOOK | INSPECTOR GENERAL RETIRING

LEE COUNTY

Legislative watchdog heels Homer, who quietly spurred reform, retiring

Garvin was firefighter with Princeton dept.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – A former state’s attorney, legislator and appellate court justice, Tom Homer is ending a decade-long tenure this week as the first watchdog of the Illinois General Assembly.

Homer is proud of helping move the state into modern ethics reforms, but frustrated by handcuffs placed on his office and its ability to investigate and punish wrongdoing.

Since he took the Legislature’s inspector general job in 2004, Homer has fielded 163 formal complaints, referring 11 to federal or state law enforcement authorities.

Some of those ended in criminal convictions, although the law doesn’t allow him to talk about specific cases.

Twice in recent years, Homer, 67, has published open letters to the Legislature suggesting tougher ethics rules.

He believes it should be illegal for legislators to vote on matters in which they have conflicts of interest.

He wants more descriptive financial disclosures, reporting of interventions lawmakers make on behalf of constituents, penalties beyond just fines for legislators – such as censure or reprimand – and public reporting of an officeholder’s punishment.

It’s unclear who will replace Homer in the part-time job that earned

a federal lawsuit alleging patronage hiring and investigations of Quinn’s anti-violence program.

He also suggested that Quinn was attempting to scare voters into believing that he is out to repeal the law. “I’m comfortable with the law and I do not seek to change the law,� he said.

Rauner had his own message at the Mexican restaurant on the city’s southwest side: He is the candidate who can most help Latino voters.

Launching a coalition of supporters from the Latino community, to loud applause he said his running mate, Evelyn Sanguinetti, will be the “first Latina lieutenant governor in Illinois history.�

In an effort to build support in a community that traditionally votes for Democrats, Rauner drew comparisons between immigrants from Latin America and his own family, which came from Sweden, as he spoke at

On Chicago’s North Side, surrounded by participants in one of the largest gay pride parades in the United States, Quinn said that Rauner’s statements that he would have vetoed the Illinois same-sex marriage bill that Quinn signed into law suggest a candidate who does not represent the values of the state. “The other side, I think, will find the voters of Illinois are very disappointed in their failure to support marriage equality,�

Quinn said. He also noted Rauner’s comments that he would not advocate repealing the law, unless voters say they want it changed in a referendum.

Rauner, though, countered that Quinn is simply “trying to manufacture a controversy that doesn’t exist� because “he’s desperate to take attention away from himself� amid

Rauner also tried to connect with his audience as a businessman trying to help small businesses, many of which are owned by Hispanics, which he said have been hurt by high taxes and unreasonable government regulations during Quinn’s time in office.

Whether he can win over many Hispanic voters remains to be seen, but some in attendance said they were impressed that he’d selected Sanguinetti, the daughter of immigrants from Cuba and Ecuador, as his run-

ning mate.

The Rev. Ruben Cruz, who helped introduce Rauner at the event, said he was angry Quinn didn’t select a Hispanic or black running mate and that while he voted for Quinn in the last election, he would not this year. “It’s time that Hispanics be involved with government at the state level,� he told the audience, to loud applause.

DIXON – A Princeton man died Saturday afternoon when his motorcycle crashed on Palmyra and Sauk roads, according to a news release from the Lee County Sheriff’s Department.

Sheriff’s deputies arrived at the scene at

2:16 p.m. to find Kurt Garvin, 28, dead at the scene. According to the release, it appeared he went off a curve and lost control of the motorcycle, striking a guardrail. He wasn’t wearing a helmet, the release says.

Speed wasn’t a factor, the release says, and it’s not yet known whether alcohol was involved.

Garvin was a firefighter and EMT with the Princeton Fire Department.

An autopsy is scheduled for today.

‘I felt God was calling me’ New administrators look to expand community services

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com

EXT

AP/Daily Herald, Bev Horne

Students at North Central College in Naperville have been composting in this community garden for 3 years. Their efforts eventually lead to fertilizer for the garden on Loomis Street.

One student’s trash is another student’s fertilizer Composting catching on in schools, homes

BY HARRY HITZEMAN Daily Herald

NAPERVILLE (AP) – On an ordinary afternoon at Kaufman Dining Hall at North Central College, hundreds of students will do something quietly extraordinary: They’ll scrape uneaten food into a separate container before placing their plates on a conveyor belt to be washed.

That’s an essential step in composting – and it’s a ritual all incoming freshmen learned last fall. “I think it’s a really good idea. People eat and don’t finish it,� said Mustapha Olaoye, a junior from South Holland who said he’d “absolutely� compost after college if he moved to an area that provided it.

He won’t have to wait too long.

Across the suburbs, food scrap composting is taking hold at institutions and households that want to go beyond recycling. Composting diverts more material from landfills and lengthens their life spans. It also helps reduce greenhouse gases and cuts waste hauling costs. Further, the process recovers more nutrients than sending scraps down the garbage disposal, experts say.

Karen Rozmus, who oversees a pilot residential food scrap composting program in Oak Park, said about composting, “It’s like where recycling was 20 years ago.�

We all help compost Suburbanites already compost when they put out yard waste, lawn clippings and branches in those large paper bags with the rest of their weekly trash pickup, said Marta Keane, president of the Illinois Recycling Association. “Composting has always been part of recycling,�

Keane said, noting the yard waste is composted at a separate facility.

Another form of composting is done in backyards with such items as fruit peels, coffee grounds, egg shells and

other organic matter mixed into an earth stew that eventually becomes fertilizer for garden beds.

In fact, that’s the final result of the food scrap saving at North Central: Fertilizer is returned to the campus for flower beds.

Commercial food scrap composting goes a step further because it can accommodate uneaten meat, bones, paper towels, cheese, dairy products, oil-based sauces and other items that won’t break down in a typical backyard compost.

The food scraps are hauled to a facility where they’re combined with yard waste, and the mixture naturally decomposes into nutrient-rich fertilizer.

Composting is mainstream in some U.S. cities, but relatively new to Illinois.

Food scraps “are not a hazard in the landfill, but they are a waste because of all the nutrients we’re losing,� Keane said, noting that composting “closes the loop.�

Pilot program Oak Park began a pilot program in April 2012 allowing residents to mix food scraps into their yard waste and brush containers.

The items do not have to be separated and are picked up once a week with other trash; some residents even share the compost containers.

Rozmus, Oak Park’s environmental services manager, said the program started with 110 households but has now grown to more than 600 homes, including five churches, nine schools, a farmers market and a food pantry.

The program is close to cost-neutral for participants, who must pay a monthly fee for a compost container for food scraps and yard waste but are exempt from buying the special stickers to put on bags for yard waste removal, Rozmus said.

Officials estimate each household generates about 20 pounds of food scraps per week, which is 20 pounds not going into the landfill to create methane gas.

STERLING – DeShawn and Christal Johnson first became involved with the Salvation Army by happenstance. “We went to the Salvation Army because we needed help with a bill,�

DeShawn says. “And then we found out it was a church.�

It was 2006, and they were living in Macomb with their children when their name was picked for a Salvation Army school supply drawing, Christal remembers. On that same day, she was out applying for jobs. It turned out, the Salvation Army was hiring an administrative assistant.

Christal got the job.

Things kind of spiraled from there — in a good way. Wednesday marked the first day of the twosome’s new appointments as the Corps administrators for the Sterling/Rock Falls area.

Before they joined the ministry, the two were already deeply involved in another church and with youth group programs in the Macomb area. Once they got involved with the Salvation Army, though, its mission struck a chord with them: to serve the needs of the whole person, not just their religious needs. “Our big thing is family and community,�

DeShawn says, sitting next to his wife. “Once [Christal] started working there, she was hooked.� “It’s what I felt God was calling me to do,�

Christal says.

Tetanus is one of the most dangerous diseases that can strike a human being.

No antibiotic or other drug can halt a fullblown case, and about 60 percent of those afflicted by the disease die.

Yet, by means of immunization, tetanus is almost completely preventable. ...

While millions of babies and members of the armed forces have been inoculated against tetanus, the fact remains that about three-fourths of the adult population is lacking in immunity. The reason is that the protection offered by immunization wears off after several years, and must be re-established by “booster� shots, which most people fail to get.

WASHINGTON – As I gaze at my computer mouse pad, a rubbery version of Monet’s “Water Lilies,� I keep seeing the number 54. As in million.

As in how much an anonymous American just paid for the original, painted in 1906.

Of course, that’s far below the record high price for a Monet – $80.4 million in 2008 for the 1919 painting titled “Pool of Water Lilies.� Now that was a painting. At least it’s pretty cool on my wall calendar.

As art prices keep soaring, we are lucky to live in a time that gives us access to cheap images of famous works of art.

But woe to you if the art you like includes ivory.

Apparently, a centuryold cameo and an ancient piano with ivory keys that I cherish are encouraging the poaching of African and Asian elephants.

Of course, that makes me feel terrible. Who doesn’t love elephants?

But I can’t fathom the Obama administration’s thinking that almost all sales of anything with ivory in it should be banned. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service plans such a ban to try to make ivory worthless so evil poachers will stop killing elephants.

At a recent hearing of the House Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, Oceans and Insular affairs, experts on musical instruments, hunting, conservation and antiques said, in effect, the government is nuts.

The policy, they said, would “wreak havoc on law-abiding citizens without stopping poaching.�

Sales of items with ivory, from teapots to violins, would be restricted without substantial documentation.

POACHING IS NOW the fifth largest organized criminal trafficking activity after such things as arms, drugs and humans.

Half of the world’s elephants reportedly have been killed in the last decade. Last year 20,000 elephants were killed for ivory.

Robert G. Dreher, associate director of the Fish and Wildlife Service, insists “it is precisely the trade in such objects� as musical instruments, vintage weapons, canes, antiques, jewelry and art objects “that is killing wildlife.�

Although it has been illegal to import ivory into the United States since 1989, enforcement has weakened.

But auctioneer Matthew Quinn says his ivory collectors are mainly elderly and those who want to sell rarely have sufficient

documentation to meet proposed requirements.

Arian Sweets, a curator of the National Music Museum, says museums could not buy vintage instruments with old ivory under the ban, and potential donors would get no IRS deductions if ivory becomes worthless. Concert pianists could not buy pianos with ivory, nor could they get insurance to transport their instruments, she said.

Scott O’Grady, who has been on five African safaris, says if elephant hunting is effectively banned for U.S. citizens, as is the plan, thousands of dollars for anti-poaching rangers would dry up.

FORMER TEXAS congressman Jack Fields says diplomacy in the past stopped 40 percent of ivory poaching used for Japanese hand The U.S. stamps and Fish and C h i n e s e art and the Wildlife price of Service ivory went should from $100 a pound rewrite to virtually its plan to permit nothing.

David Hayes, vice chair of the Federal Advisory Council on Wildlife Trafficking, said the 1989 international ban made poaching unprofitable.

He said it increased as Asia’s middle class expanded and demanded ivory objects while organized crime moved in to supply them.

He is correct that the government has yet to make its case to ban virtually all sales of ivory objects. Antique dealers, musicians and collectors must be exempt.

Once, the government decided to dry up the drug traffic by putting drug users in jail; we know how well that worked.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should rewrite its plan to permit legitimate trading and sales.

And, no, I do not have a cameo or ancient piano for sale, let alone a Monet.

That your fiancée is refusing to show them to you is a sure sign that she has something to hide.

That’s why you must take the card away from her to ensure that she isn’t putting you into a financial hole you won’t be able to dig yourself out of. And because the lady can’t seem to control her spending, I’m urging you to think long and hard before marrying her, because after you do, you will be responsible for her debts.

Frontman excited Different sort of brewmaster for down-home Decades later, collector now a sought-after brewery historian feel of festival JOLIET

BY DENISE M. BARANUNLAND 4HE (ERALD .EWS

JOLIET (AP) – Like many people in the 1970s, John Bittermann of Joliet collected beer cans.

But when a friend offered Bittermann a mug that the Fred Sehring Brewing Company in Joliet released in 1906, a stunned Bittermann asked, “There were breweries in Joliet?�

Bittermann then embarked on a decadeslong fascination with Joliet’s brewery history, one that has produced an extensive collection of beer-related paraphernalia and a comprehensive look at an industry that helped shape Joliet, as well as the entire country, he said. “Everyone can relate to beer. Unlike wine, it’s the common man’s drink, the working man’s drink,� Bittermann said. “Adams was a brewer; Washington was a brewer; Jefferson was a brewer. It goes back to the Mayflower; you can look it up – ‘our victuals being

And in Joliet, people did. Porter’s ale, stouts and porters were popular with the Irish, Bittermann said, while Joliet’s German and Slavic population were fans of Fred Sehring beer. Prohibition was actually beneficial to Joliet breweries. “We were just far enough of out Chicago to be ignored,� Bittermann said, “but not so far that we could send things and not be noticed.�

Most of Bittermann’s information about Joliet’s brewing history came from old local newspapers archived at the Joliet Public Library, he said. “I would go there every Monday night for 3 to 4 hours, just scrolling through microfilm,� Bittermann said. “I have read through 70 percent of them.�

PARMALEE

Parmalee’s other members include his brother, Scott Thomas (drums), their cousin, Barry Knox (bass), and lifelong best friend, Josh McSwain (guitar). “There’s always a bunch of family at our shows. We’re like a big, traveling family,�

Thomas said.

The band has been splitting its time this summer, joining Jake Owen for stops on his tour, and playing festivals similar to the Petunia Festival.

Parmalee has never been to Dixon, but “it’s great to check out a new place we’ve never heard about,� Thomas said. “These type of festivals feel like home to us.�

The group has had some big moments the past year. “Having a song go No. 1 and getting the chance to tour with Jason

Aldean and Jake Owen has been amazing,�

Thomas said.

Things don’t look like they’ll be slowing down anytime soon, with the band booked solid the rest of the year.

The band also is nominated for the Choice Country Group Award at the Teen Choice Awards, which will air at 7 p.m. Aug. 10 on Fox. Parmalee hopes to have a few more successful singles from “Feels like Carolina,�

Thomas said.

But the band also is looking ahead. “We’re always writing, because you never know when a good song will pop up,� Thomas said. “But we’re not rushing anything. We’re enjoying supporting ‘Feels Like Carolina’ right now.�

The band do just that, and find out what Dixon feels like, when it helps the city’s marquee celebration celebrate its 50th birthday Thursday.

DIRTY PLAY AT TAMPICO DAYS

AP/The Journal Standard, Tony Carton

Rick and Jonna Dittmar plant trays of pumpkin seedlings May 31 before transplanting them into the patch at the family orchard near Elizabeth. The Dittmar family planted about 500 pumpkin hills this year and will host picking weekends in September and October.

Transplanting roots

Longtime farmers riding wave of agritourism

BY TONY CARTON 4HE *OURNAL 3TANDARD

ELIZABETH (AP) – Dittmars have been farming their family ground on South Grebner Road near Elizabeth since 1854.

They’ve done grain, dairy and are now raising about a dozen beef cattle, some field corn and alfalfa. Mike Dittmar, who maintains the property with his dad, Rick, and their families, says farming is in their blood, and the 21st-century Dittmars are busy making changes that will bring their operation in line with the area’s recent agritourism boom. “We’ve been doing sweet corn at the local farmer’s market for about 5 years, and we’ve had a big pumpkin patch for the last several years,� said Dittmar. “Now, we’ve planted 100 apple trees and, in about

3 years, we’ll be producing about 250 bushels of apples.�

At one point in time, Jo Daviess County was dotted with apple orchards, but today there are none. “Folks love coming out in the fall,� he said. “They want to see the colors and wander the hills. Agritourism is a new direction for this area, and we want to be the apple orchard leaders in Jo Daviess County.�

In addition to their apples, the family put in two full acres of pumpkin and will be opening the farm for U-pick dates in the fall.

An army of Dittmars, young and not-soyoung, put in some 500 pumpkin hills this spring and, with the cool wet weather, things are looking good for a visit from the Great Pumpkin this fall.

They’ve mapped a corn

maze and put in blueberries, cherries and grapes to complement their U-pick experience. And don’t forget sweet corn. “All my life, my grandfather and grandma and dad planted sweet corn down in the bottoms on the farm,� Mike Dittmar said. “They would put in maybe eight varieties, and we were so spoiled that as soon as the next variety was ready we would just abandon the one we were eating and move on to the next.�

He said he was out picking with his dad about five years ago and had an epiphany. “I said, ‘Dad, instead of leaving this last variety, let’s pick it and take it to the farmers market and see what happens,’� Dittmar said. “Well, it was $20 for a membership with the market and we made like $500 that first year just on our leftovers.�

CHICAGO | GAY PRIDE PARADE

IN BRIEF

1st march since law’s signing Police: Event has grown by a third since 2011 CHICAGO (AP) – About a million people packed Chicago streets Sunday for the first Gay Pride Parade since Illinois legalized gay marriage last month.

Many who came early to grab a good spot along the route said the new law makes this year’s parade more festive – not a political statement. Last year’s parade attendees used the event to continue their fight for gay marriage rights.

Charlie Gurion, who with David Wilk became the first couple in Cook County to get a same-sex marriage license in February, said he said there was a different feel to this parade. “I think there is definitely like an even more sense of pride now knowing that in Illinois you can legally get married now,�

Gurion said, as he posed for photograph after photograph with Wilk at the parade. “I think it is a huge thing and everybody’s over the moon that they can do it now.�

Justine Carreon, a 21-year-old nursing student from Villa Park, agreed. “It’s much more of a celebration this year,�

Carreon said. “There’s much more open minds.�

AP

Members of the Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Veterans Association march with a big American flag during the 45th annual Chicago Pride Parade on Sunday on Broadway Street in Chicago.

Gay and lesbian couples across Illinois began to legally wed in all of the state’s 102 counties on June 1 as a law allowing same-sex marriage took effect. Gov. Pat Quinn signed the state’s gay marriage law in November, but a federal court ruling in February declared Illinois’ original ban unconstitutional.

That cleared the way for some same-sex couples to marry.

Jim Kelly, 67, hasn’t missed the parade since 1983. The Oak Park resident is getting married in August. “For me the parade remains the same,� he

said. “It’s a massive declaration of how proud we are of each other and ourselves.�

The event has grown by a third in recent years – 1 million people attended the 2013 parade according to Chicago police, up from 750,000 people in 2011. “I do see more straight people every year,� said Sam Berke, 24, a UPS worker from Batavia.

Chicago police said late Sunday that more than a million people attended this year and there were eight arrests, one of which was for criminal damage to a police vehicle. Police

Best to try two chances

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Phyllis Diller, a comedienne, said, “Housework can’t kill you, but why take a chance?”

Thinking at trick one cannot kill you, but if you play without thought, you will probably kill your chance of making or breaking the contract.

In today’s deal, though, the hard part is spotting the second chance that declarer has available to make his sixspade contract. What should South do after West leads the heart queen?

North’s three-diamond rebid promises some points, usually five or more.

Declarer has 11 top tricks: six spades, two hearts, two diamonds and one club.

The first thought is probably to hope that West has the diamond queen. Then

South would draw trumps, cash his diamond ace, and overtake his diamond 10 with dummy’s jack. That gets the job done if the finesse wins, but leaves declarer with no

chance when East has the diamond queen.

Now look at the clubs.

If one of the two finesses works, South can get a second club winner. But two finesses require two dummy entries. Where are they?

After drawing trumps, South should lead his diamond 10 and overtake it with dummy’s jack.

If East wins with his queen, declarer can claim because he has at least three diamond tricks. Alternatively, if East ducks his queen, South can take the first club finesse.

Then, in a moment, by overtaking the diamond king with dummy’s ace, declarer is back in the dummy for that second club finesse.

A priori, one finesse is a 50-50 shot, but one of two finesses succeeds 76 percent of the time. © 2014 UFS

MONDAY SPOTLIGHT | BORDER PATROL

Agency has lots of agents – in wrong places And not enough staff to process immigrants crossing Texas border SAN DIEGO (AP) – The downcast faces on computer screens are 1,500 miles away at a Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas: a 20-year old Honduran woman arrested rafting across the Rio Grande and a 23-year-old man caught under similar circumstances.

Four agents wearing headsets reel through a list of personal questions, spending up to an hour on each adult and even longer on children. On an average day, hundreds of migrants are questioned on camera by agents in San Diego and other stations on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The long-distance interviews – introduced last year in El Paso, Texas, and extended to California – are a response to the dramatic increase of Central Americans crossing the border in Texas that also has flooded immigration facilities with hundreds of women and children. The Border Patrol

does not have the staff to process all the immigrants crossing in the Rio Grande Valley, but faraway colleagues have time to spare.

The remote video processing reveals a perpetual predicament that has long bedeviled the Border Patrol. Many agents wind up stationed in places where crossing activity is slowest because the Border Patrol struggles to keep up with constantly shifting migration patterns.

One example of the staffing mismatch: the roughly 2,500 agents in the San Diego sector arrested 97 immigrants illegally crossing the border on June 14, according to an internal document reviewed by The Associated Press. On the same day, the roughly 3,200 agents in the Rio Grande Valley made 1,422 arrests.

President Barack Obama will ask Congress for more than $2 billion to respond to the flood of immigrants illegally entering the U.S. through the Rio Grande Valley and for new powers to deal with returning unaccompanied children, a White House official said Saturday. A letter will be sent to

IRAQ

AP

Demonstrators chant slogans to support al-Qaidainspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant on June 16 as they carry al-Qaida flags in Mosul, 225 miles northwest of Baghdad, Iraq. The al-Qaida breakaway group that has seized much of northern Syria and huge tracks of neighboring Iraq formally declared the creation of an Islamic state Sunday in the territory under its control.

Splinter declares new Islamic caliphate BAGHDAD (AP) – The alQaida breakaway group that has seized much of northeastern Syria and huge tracts of neighboring Iraq formally declared the establishment of a new Islamic state on Sunday and demanded allegiance from Muslims worldwide.

With brutal efficiency, the Sunni extremist group has carved out a large chunk of territory that has effectively erased the border between Iraq and Syria and laid the foundations of its proto-state. But the declaration, made on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, could trigger a wave of infighting among the Sunni militant factions that formed a loose alliance in the blitz across Iraq and impact the broader international jihadist movement, especially the future of al-Qaida.

The spokesman for the

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant declared the group’s chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as the leader of the new caliphate, or Islamic state, and called on Muslims everywhere, not just those in areas under the organization’s control, to swear loyalty to al-Baghdadi and support him. “The legality of all emirates, groups, states and organizations becomes null by the expansion of the caliph’s authority and the arrival of its troops to their areas,� said the spokesman, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, in an audio statement posted online. “Listen to your caliph and obey him.

Support your state, which grows every day.�

Congress on Monday, said the official who was not authorized to speak by name and discussed the requests on condition of anonymity. The exact amount and how it will be spent will come after Congress returns from recess on July 7. Whether any funds will go toward border staffing is unknown.

Some warn against bulking up in South Texas because smuggling routes will inevitably change along the 1,954-mile border. “They don’t want to transfer a mass amount of agents and open a gap somewhere else where we have control,� said David Aguilar, the Border Patrol chief from 2004 to 2010.

Forced transfers must be negotiated with the National Border Patrol Council, the union which represents agents, and have not happened on a large scale.

The Border Patrol can move agents for 35 days – longer by mutual agreement – but those temporary assignments are expensive.

More than 100 agents were sent to Rio Grande Valley this spring for short stays.

AP

A Border Patrol agent uses a headset and computer June 5 to conduct a long-distance interview by video with a person arrested crossing the border in Texas, from a facility in San Diego. The agency is relieving staffing woes by enlisting agents in less busy sectors to process arrests through video interviews.

Bowman is negotiating with top-flight forwards Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane on contract extensions and has said he would like to have them done by Tuesday. Their agent, Pat Brisson, is likely to seek the highest salaries in NHL history, with salary-cap hits that could reach or exceed $10 million per season apiece.

David Luiz and Marcelo scored in the shootout, and Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar saved two penalties before watching Gonzalo Jaraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final attempt hit the post on Saturday â&#x20AC;&#x153;My teammates are giving me a lot of strength on the field so I give my best,â&#x20AC;? Cesar said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just three steps away, and I hope to give another interview with Brazil partying.â&#x20AC;?

Neither team managed to score at the Mineirao Stadium after first-half goals from Luiz and Sanchez, but Brazil came close to an early exit when Mauricio Pinillaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shot hit the crossbar in the final moments of extra time.

Instead, Brazil survived to move into a quarterfinal match against Colombia.

When Jara hit the post, some of Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s players celebrated wildly while others fell to the ground, exhausted and emotionally drained. Willian, who missed a penalty for Brazil, sobbed uncontrollably, as Fred helped him to his feet.

Colombia 2, Uruguay 0: James Rodriguez scored one of the best goals of the tournament and then added a second, as Colombia beat Uruguay to advance into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time.

Rodriguez gave his team the lead with a stunning long-range volley, as he turned in the 28th minute and netted the second from close range shortly after halftime, as Colombia dominated a Uruguay side that sorely missed banned striker Luis Suarez.

Rodriguez now has a tournament-leading five goals in Brazil, and further enhanced his status as perhaps the tournamentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest revelation.

"Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

The Dutch were worried about the oppressive heat at Arena Castelao in Brazil on Sunday, and they left it with the stifling hot conditions to thank for a spot in the World Cup quarterfinals.

An inspired tactical change during the second of two official stoppages led to a late goal from Netherlands forward Wesley Sneijder and an injury-time penalty from Klaas Jan Huntelaar in a dramatic 2-1 victory over Mexico. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Plan Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the cooling break,â&#x20AC;? said Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal, soon to be the manager at Manchester United. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is a good way to take advantage of those breaks.â&#x20AC;?

Despite scoring 10 goals in three group matches, the Dutch again started the match with a defensive 5-3-2 system. Van Gaal made the switch to a more attacking 4-3-3 formation in the second half, and tweaked it further when referee Pedro Proenca stopped the match in the 76th minute to allow players to rehydrate.

That helped turn the match around and extend Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second-round curse to six straight World Cups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unbelievable,â&#x20AC;? said Arjen Robben, the Netherlands forward that earned the late penalty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Five minutes from full time, we were out.â&#x20AC;?

Instead of the Dutch players, it was the Mexicans who wilted in the heat as they conceded twice as many goals in the final minutes of the match as they had in the entire group stage.

NBA | BULLS

Keep Rose away from recruiting

O

f all the things free-agent Carmelo Anthony might wonder as he visits the Bulls, the biggest question about the future no team official can answer.

How long will Derrick Rose’s knees hold up?

That conundrum represents the other major difference between this offseason and the summer of 2010.

Back then, the Bulls entered free-agency optimistic because of salarycap space and a healthy superstar. Four years and two Rose knee surgeries later, their payroll looks less pliable and their point guard less durable. Alas, the Bulls can control the former easier than the latter.

Remember that during this monumental week for the Bulls, when people start complaining about Rose needing to recruit Anthony, or other free-agents more than he openly does.

Rose is a symbol of doubt until he isn’t, so let someone who has played in only 49 games in three seasons spend more time rehabilitating than recruiting.

Observers can rave about the way Rose dominates pickup games, but until he plays against elite competition for an extended period without a setback, any assurance he will resemble his old self falls under basketball propaganda. It’s what the Bulls have to say, because it’s what the Bulls have to believe.

Sure, the Return II could result in another MVP season one day. Or it could lead back to the training room. Nobody really knows given Rose’s history. That’s why having Rose chair the Anthony greeting committee rates such a low priority.

This is not the guy the Bulls necessarily need selling the stability of their organization. Even if Rose embraces the idea of adding Anthony, as the Tribune reported Friday, he never has been comfortable convincing potential teammates to join his team.

Everybody says recruiting sways today’s superstar, but it seems ridiculous that a 30-year-old married father like Anthony would let a multi-year, multi-million-dollar decision be affected by how much attention a peer pays him.

Any free agent who weighs external affirmation so heavily might not be a leader worthy of all the money and fuss.

Who needs Rose recruiting Anthony anyway, when the Bulls have team ambassador Scottie Pippen doing the heavy lifting in Paris? To give the Bulls an edge over the Knicks, and Anthony reason to doubt Phil Jackson, perhaps Pippen can recount

davidHAUGH MCT News Service sports columnist.

He can be reached at dhaugh@ tribune.com

Jackson’s role in the most famous 1.8 seconds of his Hall of Fame career.

But seriously, winners don’t need to be recruited.

Winners worry about the likelihood of hanging banners in June more than the fun they had hanging out in July. They choose teams based on how close they are to a championship, not how far players will go to make them feel welcome. They behave and think like Tim Duncan and Kobe Bryant behave and think.

Rose’s involvement during Anthony’s visit means less than Tom Thibodeau’s.

The Thibodeau-Anthony camaraderie potentially influences the free-agent process more than the Rose-Anthony connection.

Consider Anthony never has played for a coach as defensive-minded or demanding as Thibodeau, which likely works in the Bulls’ favor if he cares most about a ring.

Just take Anthony past the six NBA championship trophies and show him the red No. 7 jersey he would wear to remind everybody how many the Bulls could have if he makes the right decision.

If winning a title indeed matters most to Anthony – his comments about keeping his family in New York reveal a man tugged in two directions like so many Americans – then the Bulls provide the best opportunity among the teams he reportedly will visit.

The Bulls don’t need Rose in full recruiting mode to drive that point home. All they need to do is show Anthony a list of teams in the East compared to the West. Talk about persuasive.

Become a Bull and the road to the NBA Finals in the East for Anthony appears paved.

Join the Rockets, Mavericks and Lakers, and a Western path full of obstacles still likely goes through San Antonio or Oklahoma City.

The Bulls operated on draft night like a team that knows something.

They aggressively moved up to draft ideal fit Doug McDermott and general manager Gar Forman expressed confidence he could manipulate the roster to clear salary-cap space for whomever.

They promised nothing but sounded prepared for everything.

NASCAR | SPRINT CUP

Cutting edge driver Keselowksi will get more practice at celebrating

BY GARRY GRAVES AP Sports Writer

SPARTA, Ky. – Brad Keselowski will have to fine-tune his victory celebrations after a shattered champagne bottle left him with a bloodied and bandaged right hand.

The upside is he might get more chances to polish his post-race revelry, as he pursues his second Sprint Cup Series championship in 3 years.

Already locked into the Chase with a Las Vegas victory and a solid string of top-fives, Keselowski delivered his most dominant run at Kentucky Speedway. He started from the pole and led 199 of 267 laps en route to his second win this season.

The Penske Racing driver heads to Daytona International Speedway fourth in points and showing the form that carried him to the 2012 championship. Missing last year’s Chase also seems to have made Keselowski wiser – Saturday night notwithstanding.

“I want to win another championship,” Keselowski said after a roundabout journey between Victory Lane and the infield care center to receive four stitches after striking the bottle on the podium.

“I don’t want to be a guy that contends for a championship every 3 or 4 years. I want to do it each and every year, and I know that opportunity is here, it’s present and I want to make the most of it.”

The exuberant 30-year-old joked that he was going through something of a midlife crisis, perhaps his way of stressing that he has to maximize his window of opportunity to win titles. That urgency worked for him 2 years ago, when

AP

Brad Keselowski scratches his face with his bandaged hand at the news conference after the Sprint Cup series race Saturday at Kentucky Speedway. Keselowski injured his hand on a broken champagne bottle while celebrating his victory. he won five times with 23 top-10s and 13 top-fives to win the title.

Keselowski has two fewer wins than at the same point in 2012, but is showing the same consistency. His second Kentucky victory marked his ninth top-10 along with a series-best second triumph at 1 1/2 miles, the distance of many Chase tracks.

Those intermediate-length tracks don’t return to the schedule until August at Atlanta, but Keselowski noted the importance of finding the formula now.

“When you can run well at this point in time, it bodes well for the final half of the season,” he said.

“Certainly, we’re not content. ...

The reality is that Hendrick cars had won three or four of the last five, and they’re going to continue to be the cars to beat. So we have to keep pushing as well.”

Keselowski returns to Daytona looking to build on February’s third-place run at the 500 and extend a recent run of top-10s on the 2.5-mile track. He enters with momentum following a commanding Kentucky performance in which he and teammate Joey Logano began on the front row and combined to lead the first 217 laps. The Michigan native later rallied from sixth on a restart to pass Kyle Busch on Lap 248 and pull away.

INDYCAR

Simon says victory was tough Pagenaud beats heat, teammate to take second race of doubleheader

BY JENNA FRYER AP Auto Racing Writer

HOUSTON – Not everything was bigger in Texas on a hot and humid weekend in which a pair of small IndyCar teams claimed the commemorative cowboy boots from the Grand Prix of Houston.

Sam Schmidt’s drivers went 1-2 on Sunday for the first time in team history, as Simon Pagenaud grabbed the win and led rookie teammate Mikhail Aleshin to the checkered flag. Pagenaud used the win, his second of the season, to climb back into the championship race.

He came to Houston trailing Will Power by 91 points, and cut it to 59 after the two races.

“It’s fantastic for the race team and the entire organization,” said Pagenaud, who admitted after the race to feeling “a little faint” from temperatures

Simon Pagenaud leaps in the air on the winner’s stage after the second IndyCar Grand Prix of Houston on Sunday. His teammate, Mikhail Aleshin (left) was second. that soared into the 90s.

“The whole team has elevated to top team level.”

Aleshin, the first Russian to compete in IndyCar, was a career-best second for his first podium and said a tire problem nearly prevented him from making it to the finish.

“It’s definitely an amazing day for the team,” he said. “We are one of the fastest cars on the track, and I think we did an amazing job today. The

whole team did an amazing job.”

Third went to rookie Jack Hawksworth, his first career podium. It capped a breakthrough weekend for the British driver, who finished a career-best sixth Saturday.

“It’s been rough this year, we’ve been fast sometimes and just not quite made it happen,” said Hawksworth. “We’ve not quite put it together, and today we did.”

A day earlier, Dale Coyne Racing scored its first win of the year with rookie Carlos Huertas.

The rookie led a Colombian sweep of the rainsoaked podium alongside countrymen Juan Pablo Montoya and rookie Carlos Munoz.

It was a race Pagenaud thought he should have won.

He spent the previous week training in California for the heat and humidity, and won the pole for the first race of the doubleheader. His race was ruined, though, first by a spin and then when he was collected in Scott Dixon’s crash. He finished 16th in the first race.

“I was so disappointed Saturday because we had such a fast car this weekend,” he said.

Power, the points leader, rallied from another poor qualifying effort to put himself in position for a third-place finish.

But he failed to make it to the finish line when a part broke on his car two laps from the finish.

Pagenaud, Aleshin and Power had peeled away from the pack, leaving Hawksworth behind for a spirited battle to hold on for fourth-place.

NHRA

Hagan finds winning ways in Joliet "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

JOLIET – Matt Hagan won the Route 66 NHRA Nationals on Sunday to end an 11-event victory drought, beating Don Schumacher Racing teammate Tommy Johnson Jr. in the Funny Car final.

season-ending race in Pomona last year.

“We’ve been working at it this year,” said Hagan, a three-time winner in Joliet. “It’s been a very humbling year for us. Last year we came out and won five races, and you kind of think you are going to set the world on fire the following year.”

Antron Brown won in Top Fuel, Vincent Nobile topped the Pro Stock field, and Hector Arana Jr. won

in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Brown raced to his fourth victory of the season, beating Brittany Force with a 3.814 at 317.34. He has four wins at Route 66 Raceway, two in Top Fuel and two in Pro Stock Motorcycle.

Warriors open 2014 at Metamora DATE

CONTINUED FROM B1

Since Whitney Young is a private school, it is subject to the multiplier rule. Its adjusted enrollment of 3,229 is much larger than Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1,010. Whitney Young finished last season at 9-1, and lost in the first round of the playoffs in Class 7A, and will travel to Sterling in Week 2.

Sterling missed the playoffs last season with a 5-4 record and would have likely been placed in Class 5A. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a great challenge,â&#x20AC;? Golden Warriors football coach Jon Schlemmer said of Whitney Young. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are obviously a good team that went [9-1] last season, and we expect them to be tough again. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are already putting in their work, and we just have to make sure to have a great effort. We just go out there and compete.â&#x20AC;?

Sterling will face a familiar opponent during its first game, as it will open the 2014-15 football season on the road against Metamora on August 29. Sterling beat the Redbirds 42-28 at home in the first game of the season last year â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year we get to go down there,â&#x20AC;? Schlemmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure they have this one circled on their calendars to try and get us back.â&#x20AC;?

After opening their season on the road, the Golden Warriors will play three consecutive home games against Whitney Young, Rich South and Morris.

Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NIB-12 West games will include home games against Ottawa and Rochelle, and away games against LaSalle-Peru and Geneseo. Its two NIB-12 crossover games are home against Morris and at Sycamore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are good teams throughout the schedule,â&#x20AC;? Schlemmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an easy one out there.â&#x20AC;?

When taking a glance at the schedule, however, it seems as if an important game is missing.

Since the upcoming 2014-15 school year will be the first year of Dixon competing in the Big Northern after cutting ties with the NIB-12 at the end of this past season, the two schools, which have built up a fun two-town rivalry over the years, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t face each other this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are two pretty good rivalries,â&#x20AC;? Schlemmer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And being so short and close in distance, it will be kind of a shame. We thought they were on the up, and doing a nice job of turning things around.â&#x20AC;?

Said King, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is really is sad not facing [Dixon].

The two towns had so much history.â&#x20AC;?

Justin Rose inspects his putt on the 15th green during the final round of the Quicken Loans National tournament Sunday in Bethesda, Md. Reed won the tournament in a sudden-death playoff with Shawn Stefani.

Rose survives late mistake

BY DOUG FERGUSON !0 'OLF 7RITER

BETHESDA, Md. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Justin Rose has won enough times on the strongest golf courses to appreciate how one mistake can make a difference.

He got away with one Sunday at Congressional to win the Quicken Loans National.

Shawn Stefani did not.

With the poise and the putting touch of a U.S. Open champion, Rose atoned for a 4-iron he hit into the water on the 18th hole to make a 15-foot bogey putt that got him into a playoff.

On the 18th hole in the playoff, Stefani hit the

same type of shot that rolled into the same pond left of the green.

There are no second chances in a suddendeath playoff.

Rose won with a par on the first extra hole for his first victory since the U.S. Open last summer at Merion. This one required about as much work, with Congressional far more difficult and unrelenting than when it hosted a soggy U.S. Open 3 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Congressional got its reputation back after the U.S. Open,â&#x20AC;? Rose said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really enjoy this type of golf and this type of test. I think it tested all of us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m delighted.â&#x20AC;?

Williams sisters both out in singles draw USUAL

CONTINUED FROM B1

Williams, who has 17 Grand Slam singles titles, hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been knocked out of Wimbledon so soon since 2005, but has departed before the quarterfinals at four of the past five majors.

WTA founder Billie Jean King, winner of eight Grand Slam singles titles in the Open era, says she recalls going through a similar streak in her career. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most definitely,â&#x20AC;? King said Sunday near Wimbledon when announcing Singapore as the new site of the WTA seasonending championships in October. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody does. But I think there might be some underlying things happening to her, some things off the court, that are affecting her. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure she will work them out.â&#x20AC;?

On a sunny but blustery middle Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; traditionally an off-day at Wimbledon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; most of the players remaining in the singles draw held sessions at the nearby Aorangi Park practice courts.

Federer and Murray were there at the same time, although due to rain delays on Friday, Federer, like Nadal, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play his fourth-round match until Tuesday.

Federer says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazed as anyone about the Big 4â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to maintain such a stellar record in Grand Slam tournaments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came through the ranks where it was normal for top guys to have a bad Slam, have maybe two bad Slams from time to time, but it barely happens anymore,â&#x20AC;? Federer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like such a shock when it does. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been surprised how consistent Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been personally, but even more so by everybody else who is just like normal to get to quarters, get to semis. Because I know

how small the margins are.â&#x20AC;?

Djokovicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chances of advancing might rest with his sore arm. He had an afternoon training session Sunday to test his left arm and shoulder he injured in a nasty fall on Friday in his Centre Court win over Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gilles Simon.

Djokovic lunged for a shot behind the baseline, tumbled on the grass and rolled over twice, his racket flying from his hand. He thought he had dislocated his shoulder, but from what Djokovic says, it looked a lot worse than it was. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Luckily there is nothing damaged,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just came from the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office, ultrasound.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m quite confident that it will not affect my physical state or regimen or daily routine. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be fine.â&#x20AC;?

Djokovic will play the third match on Centre Court on Monday against 14th-seeded Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

Alize Cornet, who scored the biggest upset of the tournament when she beat Serena Williams on Saturday, opens Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s play on Centre against Canadian Eugenie Bouchard, who is the only woman to advance to the semifinals of both Grand Slam tournaments this year.

Defending champion Murray plays Kevin Anderson in the match following.

In third-round matches carried over due to Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rain suspensions, Wawrinka is up against Denis Istomin to start play on Court 2 while Feliciano Lopez plays American John Isner on Court 3.

The only other thirdround menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s match to be completed is nearly there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Kei Nishikori of Japan and Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Simone Bolelli are 3-3 in the fifth set, with the winner to play Canadian Milos Raonic on Tuesday.

Jose Quintana and two relievers gave the Chicago White Sox something they hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had all year: a shutout.

Quintana won back-to-back starts for the first time this season, Moises Sierra homered and the White Sox beat the Blue Jays 4-0 Sunday in Toronto for their third straight win.

Jose Abreu extended his hitting streak to 14 games with an RBI single, as the White Sox posted their first shutout of the season in their 83rd game and won three straight for the first time since May 26-28 against Cleveland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It starts off with Q,â&#x20AC;? manager Robin Ventura said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He threw great. He was attacking the zone.

If he can get ahead and stay there, and mix speeds like he did today, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tough.â&#x20AC;?

Quintana (5-7) allowed three hits in seven innings, improving to 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA in six starts against the Blue Jays. He walked two and struck out seven. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today the big pitch was the ability to throw effective off speed pitches early to get ahead,â&#x20AC;? catcher Tyler Flowers said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His slider-slurve thing, he had a really good feel for that.â&#x20AC;?

Eric Surkamp worked the eighth, and Jake Petricka finished. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A nice win all the way around,â&#x20AC;?

Ventura said as his team ended a season-long 11-game road trip on a high after losing seven of the first eight.

The AL East-leading Blue Jays were blanked for the fifth time this season. Four of those have come in the past 22 games.

Dodgers 6, Cardinals 0: The St. Louis Cardinalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; years of modest success against Clayton Kershaw seemed like ancient history while the Dodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; left-hander mowed them down in Los Angeles.

AP

The Blue Jaysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jose Reyes (right) slides safely under the tag of the White Soxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gordon Beckham during the sixth inning of Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Toronto. The White Sox won 4-0.

s #UBS !RRIETA AT 2ED 3OX 0EAVY P M #3. !- s !NGELS 2ICHARDS AT 7HITE 3OX .OESI P M 7#)5 !- !- And after Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pitching staff allowed just four runs in four games against the defending NL champions, the Cardinals were simply grateful to get out of Chavez Ravine.

Kershaw struck out 13 during seven innings of five-hit ball, and Andre Ethier hit a three-run homer in the Dodgersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 6-0 victory.

The last time the Cardinals faced Kershaw, they battered Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ace on the way to a win in the NL Championship Series.

Kershaw (9-2) extended his career-best scoreless streak to 28 innings in his first homestart since throwing his first no-hitter June 18 against Colorado. He went 6-0 with an 0.82 ERA in June, yielding four runs in 44 innings and striking out 61.

The Dodgers took three of four from St. Louis in a rematch of last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NLCS. Ethier capped Los Angelesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; four-run fifth inning with a shot to right off Shelby Miller (7-7) for his first homer since May 27.

Blackhawks still hoping for trades STARS

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Regardless of [the money], there are 29 other teams that would be happy to be in our spot,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate more than anything to have both.â&#x20AC;?

Last week, Toews said he would prefer to sign his extension at the same time as Kane, as the duo did when they

inked identical 5-year, $31.5 million deals midway through the 200910 season. Bowman agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything has sort of been in tandem ever since they started their first game together,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be fitting to get the contracts finished and announced at the same time.â&#x20AC;?

Bowman also spent time in Philadelphia working on trades, and other than ship-

ping fourth-line winger Brandon Bollig to the Flames for a draft pick, came away empty. But that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the groundwork hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been laid for future deals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Things can go from zero to 100 quickly,â&#x20AC;?

Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to characterize whether weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re close or not.

Something could happen [soon], or it could be weeks.â&#x20AC;?

Bowman did make

one thing crystal clear: Talented young players Brandon Saad and Teuvo Teravainen will not be part of any trades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the reason weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to reach the level that we have and sustain it is weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve kept our young players, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to change that philosophy,â&#x20AC;?

Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be hard to replace their ability as well their age and contract status and all that.â&#x20AC;?
