It’s ‘not a petting zoo’ Strangers’ random acts of kindness kills farmer’s goats

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5535

ROCK FALLS – Andrea Hensgen, owner of Horseplay Farm, loves her animals. She gives her goats names like Poppet, Snuggles, Waddles and Cuddles.

At her farm on West Thome Road, she raises, sells and breeds not only goats but also horses, chickens,

ducks, turkeys, English shepherds, and the occasional mule.

On July 14, a likely well-intentioned couple, without checking with her first, dumped several bags full of bread over the fence for the goats to eat. After some other wellmeaning children had been by and also hand-fed them bread. After Hensgen already had fed them for the day.

So, three feedings within 2 hours.

That’s very bad for goats.

“It’s like giving candy to kids,” she said. “They eat until they get sick.”

By the time Hensgen realized what had happened, nine goats from her herd of 30 were down and seriously ill; a handful of others were in minor distress.

Unemployment rates fell in all 102 counties in Illinois for the first time since February 2011, according to the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

The year-over-year numbers throughout the Sauk Valley showed marked improvement, but May to June jobless rates, released by IDES Thursday, were relatively static.

“The encouraging part of the data was all metropolitan areas across the state had falling rates for the third consecutive time,” IDES spokesman Greg Rivara said.

COMMUNITY WATCH

Two wanted men await extradition Second suspect in April hit-and-run arrested, also in Texas

BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

It could be a while before the two Rock Falls men wanted for attempted murder in an April hitand-run see Whiteside County court.

Both men were arrested this week in Corpus Christi, Texas, after a tip alerted police to their whereabouts – Dayton J. Hicks, 19, on Monday, and Jorden Johnson, 22, on Wednesday. They were being held Thursday in Neuces County Jail.

The two men are wanted in connection with a hit-and-run accident that left 20-year-old Sterling resident Jacob Carr seriously injured.

B e f o r e Hicks and Johnson will appear in Whiteside County court, they Jorden must be Johnson extradited – a process that could take months, Whiteside County Sheriff Kelly Wilhelmi said.

First, they have to appear in court in Neuces County, where they will be given the choice to voluntarily return to Whiteside County or to fight extradition. If they choose the latter, the Whiteside County Sheriff’s Department will have to petition Gov. Pat Quinn to petition Texas Gov. Rick Perry to override their refusal and issue a governor’s warrant. “A lot of the problem

with that is that, sometimes, it takes 30 to 60 days before a governor’s Dayton J. warrant is Hicks issued,� Wilhelmi said.

Daniel Perez, assistant chief deputy of the Neuces County Sheriff’s Department, said that neither of the men had yet been scheduled to appear in court in Neuces County. He, too, said it would be a slow process.

Carlos Alvarado, U.S. Marshal supervisory agent in charge, told a Corpus Christi television station that Johnson was a member of the Latin Kings gang. He did not detail what connection Johnson has to Corpus Christi.

Sterling Detective J.D. Sanders declined to say Thursday whether the incident was gang-related.

Carr was found lying in the 300 block of West Fifth Street about 12:30 a.m. April 2. Police are unsure how long he was there before he was found, but have said it could have been as long as an hour. The Sterling man was then flown to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford. He has since been released, though his recovery has been slow. His family has declined to discuss his injuries.

Two other Whiteside County residents also are charged in the case: Kristin L. Alumbaugh, 21, of Sterling, and Dylan Goodell, 21, of Rock Falls, are charged with obstruction of justice.

ELECTION 2014 | ILLINOIS GOVERNOR’S RACE

Rauner’s campaign ad used fake headlines Quinn: Sample of hopeful’s ‘pattern of dishonesty’ SPRINGFIELD (AP) – A campaign ad from the Republican candidate for Illinois governor is being called into question for tailoring – and even making up – headlines from news stories to make them appear more negative about his opponent.

Businessman Bruce Rauner’s 30-second commercial called “Headlines,� released this week, overlays what appear to be newspaper headlines over black-and-white images of Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and

criticizes his record on jobs, an income tax hike, education funding, and Pat a federal Quinn probe into a troubled anti-violence program.

The commercial then cuts to Rauner, standing in a sunny front yard, promising change in Springfield, if elected.

But a review of the commercial, as first reported by the Chicago Tribune, finds several cases where the so-called headlines don’t accurately reflect the source cited.

Using articles and editorials is a relatively commonplace practice

AP

Illinois Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner gives a thumbs up to the crowd during a news conference Monday in Chicago. by campaigns, though websites – a tactic the many ads feature pulled Rauner campaign did quotes showing where not use in the “Headthe text appeared in lines� spot. various newspapers and Rauner’s campaign

defended both the practice and its ad. “The TV ad does not say everything that appears on screen was a headline,� spokesman Mike Schrimpf wrote in an email. “Due to time and space constraints, some of the phrases had to be condensed.�

Quinn told reporters Thursday that the ad was an example of “a pattern of dishonesty� his challenger has displayed.

The commercial indicates that an April 11 report by The Associated Press on an Illinois Education Association debate between Quinn and Rauner featured the headline “Quinn education cuts lead to teacher layoffs and larger class

sizes.� The full AP headline on the story was “Quinn, Rauner spar over education in 1st meeting of 2014 Illinois governor campaign.�

Rauner’s ad also cites an AP story from June 20 as saying, “Pat Quinn.

Other “headlines� attributed to the Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, and Crain’s Chicago Business were shortened from their original versions.

A March 26 Crain’s Chicago Business story titled “Quinn doubles down on tax hike gamble� was cut to, “Quinn doubles down on tax hike.�

Sigler pleads not guilty to new charges Quarter auctions Revised indictment charges bring two more murder counts

BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON – A Dixon man already charged with one count of first-degree murder in the death of his wife pleaded not guilty in

Lee County court Wednesday to two additional first-degree m u r d e r Brian C. charges.

Sigler Brian C. Sigler, 35, is now indicted on a total of three counts of firstdegree murder after a grand jury met July 18.

Additional counts of

the same charge are often added using different wording, so that attorneys can give jurors options when deciding whether to convict.

Authorities say that on Jan. 13, 2013, Sigler strangled his wife in their home before stabbing himself repeatedly with a knife. He was found bleeding in their upstairs bathroom by police after their son called 911.

Court documents say the fight between Sigler and his wife was sparked when he discovered sexual text messages on her cell phone. The contents of those texts has, to this point, been barred from being presented at trial.

Sigler is in Lee County Jail on $2 million bond.

He is next scheduled to appear in court on Sept.

Official: Growing industry will lead to more accidents WASHINGTON (AP) – Nearly 300 passengers perish when their plane is shot out of the sky.

Airlines suspend flights to Israel’s largest airport after rocket attacks. An airliner crashes during a storm, and yet another disappears. Aviation has suffered one of its worst weeks in memory, a cluster of disasters spanning three continents.

Industry analysts and

safety experts shake their heads at the seeming randomness of the tragedies, saying they can find no common themes. Nor do they think the events indicate that flying is suddenly becoming less safe.

Less than one in 2 million flights last year ended in an accident in which the plane was damaged beyond repair, according to the International Air Transport Association. That includes accidents involving cargo and charter airlines as well as scheduled passenger flights.

Jon Beatty, president

and CEO of the Flight Safety Foundation, said he finds the disaster cluster “a cold reminder� that airline accidents are likely to increase, because the industry is growing, especially in developing countries.

The misfortunes began July 18 when Malaysia flight 17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine with 298 people on board. It’s still uncertain who fired the missile that destroyed the plane, but Ukrainian officials have blamed ethnic Russian rebels and U.S. officials have pointed to circumstantial evi-

dence that suggests that may be the case.

The shootdown doubled Malaysia Airlines’ misfortunes this year. The mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Flight 370 with 239 people on board in March combined with the destruction of Flight 17 added up to more than twice the total global airline fatalities in all of last year, which was the industry’s safest year on record.

Ascend, a global aviation industry consulting firm headquartered in London, counted 163 fatalities in 2013 involving airliners with 14 seats or more.

CHICAGO

Police charge man in child’s death Gang member gets first-degree murder charge CHICAGO (AP) – A Chicago teenager accused of shooting dead an 11-year-old girl was aiming his gun at members of a rival gang when a stray bullet struck the girl as she was making s’mores during a sleepover, police said Thursday.

At a news Tevin conferLee ence to announce the first-degree murder charge against 18-yearold Tevin Lee, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said that police suspect the shooting of Shamiya Adams stemmed from a fist fight between a 14-year-old associated with Lee’s gang and another 14-year-old from another gang. “After observing the rival gang members he thought responsible, he opened fire without care or regard of anyone else,� said McCarthy of the July 18 shooting. “Unfortunately his intended targets were standing beside the home in which Shami-

AP

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy speaks at a news conference Thursday in Chicago to announce that 18-year-old Tevin Lee has been charged in connection with the slaying of Shamiya Adams, an 11-year-old girl who was struck in the head by a stray bullet July 18 in Chicago while at a sleepover. She died early the next morning. Tevin Lee was charged with murder, felony murder and aggravated discharge of a firearm. yya and her friends were innocently playing.�

The little girl was making s’mores with friends in a house in Chicago’s West Garfield Park neighborhood when a bullet went through a slightly opened window, pierced a wall and struck her in the head. She died several hours later. Lee was scheduled to appear in court Friday. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney and there was no listed phone number for him.

Homicide investigations, particularly those involving gangs, are difficult because witnesses often refuse to come forward. But McCarthy said police identified nine witnesses, two of whom came forward on their own, and agreed that perhaps the senselessness of the shooting helped convince them to cooperate.

But the slaying was also the latest example of the price of gang violence that has been a major

reason why Chicago has led the nation in homicides in recent years.

It comes at a time of renewed national media attention on Chicago after a flurry of shootings in recent weeks.

The death of the 11-year-old, like that of a teacher weeks earlier who was also struck by a stray bullet as she sat inside a building, has brought into focus the city’s continued struggle to contain street violence.

Labor force participation, population down in Midwest STEADY

CONTINUED FROM A1

“That’s significant, given the diversity across the state, geographically and economically,� Rivara said.

While IDES believes the improvement has been steady enough to constitute a trend, many argue that the numbers are also the result of discouraged workers who have stopped looking for jobs, and a shrinking Midwest labor force.

IDES spoke to that argument in a news release that came out with the June jobless numbers, staunch in its belief that employers are hiring more workers than 1 year ago. “Blaming falling unemployment rates solely on discouraged workers ignores the reality of retiring baby boomers and shrinking labor force participating rate trends that began years before the recession even started,�

IDES Director Jay Rowell said.

Numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that labor force participation in most Midwest states is dropping at a much higher rate than the national average since the recession in 2007.

In Illinois, the number of people not working and not looking for jobs has increased 3.7 percent since 2007, compared to a bounce of 2.8 percent nationally.

Last October, the nation’s labor force participation rate came in at 63.2 percent, a 35-year low. Retirements account for about half of those not working or seeking work.

While IDES concedes there are plenty of people out there who have given up on the job search, they believe economic improvement is also part of the falling jobless rates story. “There is no doubt some people looking [for work] in May didn’t look in June because they were discouraged, but we also have a lot of baby boomers

retiring,� Rivara said.

The Midwest ls also struggling with population loss. An influx of immigrants into many cities in America’s heartland is playing a key role in maintaining a competitive labor force. That labor dynamic is at play in the Quad Cities, according to U.S. Census data.

In Davenport, Iowa, for instance, between 2000 and 2010, the U.S.-born population had increased by only 0.8 percent, while the city’s labor force was propped up by a 141 percent increase in foreign-

born workers during the decade.

Throughout the region, the trend of slight improvements month to month, and bigger drops in jobless rates continued.

Ogle County still has the area’s highest jobless rate, but it dropped from 8.3 percent to 7.9 percent in June. The number looks better, however, when compared with the 10.6 percent rate posted in June 2013.

Whiteside County inched upward one-tenth of a percentage point, moving to 7.4 percent last month.

Carroll County still lays claim to the area’s lowest jobless rate, dropping from 7.2 percent to 6.8 percent in June.

In Lee County, the June jobless rate dipped from 7.6 percent to 7.4 percent.

None of the numbers released by IDES Thursday have been seasonally adjusted, an additional process that more accurately compares months with inherent differences, oftentimes driven by weather.

Going forward, IDES believes geopolitical concerns could play a big role in sustaining economic growth. “Consumer confidence drives two-thirds of economic activity,� Rivara said. “What’s going on in Kiev, the Middle East, and the general economy in that side of the world will affect business decisions in Illinois.�

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Jim Morin, MorinToons Syndicate

Tragic reminder to test for RV electrical safety What we think Area residents, saddened by a young boy’s death, are wiser now about electrical hazards that improper grounding can pose for campers and RVs. Owners should act on the safety advice of experts.

N

ews of the June 30 death of a 3-year-old Amboy boy, who was accidentally electrocuted as he exited the family camper, saddened the Sauk Valley community.

After an investigation by the Lee County Sheriff’s Department, the exact cause was determined.

According to Sheriff John Varga, an electrician found that the camper was “poorly grounded.�

Lack of proper electrical grounding can lead to a condition known as “hot skin,� where the shell, or “skin,� of a camper or recreational vehicle becomes electrified.

Then, when people or pets touch it, they can get shocked – anything from a mild jolt to a deadly dose of electrical current.

Sheriff Varga told an SVM reporter that the accident was “extremely tragic,� adding, “We’re not putting fault on anybody.�

Indeed, the problem of improper grounding

affects about one in five recreational vehicles, according to a survey of 1,200 owners conducted in 2010 by RVTravel.com.

Adults wearing shoes who are standing on dry ground might not feel the electrical tingle.

But children and pets, who have lower body resistance, are at greater risk. For anyone standing in water, the danger increases.

An electrical engineer named Mike Sokol founded a website, NoShockZone.org, dedicated to educating RV owners about electrical safety issues.

Sokol calls on owners to buy basic noncontact voltage testers – “They’re 10 to 20 bucks� at any hardware store – and use them every time they plug in their RVs. He also recommends that professionals install electrical outlets for RVs. Sadder but wiser, owners of campers and RVs should act on Sokol’s advice.

THE READER’S VOICE

Health clinic’s service worthy of celebration DONNA BAUSMAN Mount Carroll

National Health Center Week will be celebrated Aug. 10-16. The Whiteside County Community Health Clinic Governing Council would like to thank the citizens of Whiteside County for their support.

For nearly 50 years, community health centers have delivered comprehensive, high-quality preventative and primary health care to patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Their costs of care rank among the lowest and reduce the need for more expensive hospitalbased and specialty care, saving billions of dollars for taxpayers.

Whiteside’s community health clinic, in Rock Falls, serves 13,000 patients. Its mission is to provide primary and preventative medical, dental and behavior health care across the region and receive individuals from all life cycles with dignity and respect in a caring environment.

Nearly all clinic patients are low income, with more than 70 percent of patients having family incomes at or below poverty. One out of every three residents of the Sterling/Rock Falls area utilizes the clinic.

The clinic continues to

grow with the needs of the community and recognizes although primary care has historically focused on physical health, an integrated health care model will provide quality management of comorbid chronic conditions, including depression and anxiety that results from physical ailments such as diabetes, cardiac problems, chronic pain, etc.

Understanding the interaction between medical and behavioral health is important, the clinic hired a nurse practitioner certified in psychiatry and is incorporating an integrated service model that encompasses behavioral health into the medical visit.

Expanding and strengthening the system of health centers in the U.S. would further reduce health disparities, increase access to high-quality regular care, and boost local economies. As a result, fewer Americans would rely on costly sources of care such as the emergency department, saving taxpayers and making overall health care more efficient.

Health centers are therefore good public investments that generate substantial benefits for patients, communities, insurers, and governments.

Note to readers: Donna Bausman is president of the Whiteside County Community Health Clinic Governing Council.

COMMENTS ON CONGRESS

Why Congress’ incumbents get re-elected time after time Their advantages are ‘baked’ into political system LEE H. HAMILTON Bloomington, Indiana

It’s no news that Congress is unpopular. In fact, at times it seems like the only real novelty on Capitol Hill would be a jump in its approval rating.

In June, a Gallup poll found members’ standing with the American people at a historic low for a midterm-election year. Which might have been notable except, as The Washington Post pointed out, that “Congress’ approval rating has reached historic lows at least 12 ... times since 2010.�

Here’s the interesting thing: Nearly threequarters of Americans want to throw out most members of Congress, including their own representative, yet the vast majority of incumbents will be returning to Capitol Hill in January.

In other words, Americans scorn Congress but keep re-electing its members. How could this be?

The first thing to remember is that members of Congress didn’t get there by being lousy politicians. They know as well as you and I that Congress is unpopular, and they’re masters at separating themselves from it and running against it – appearing to be outsiders trying to get in, rather than insiders who produce the Congress they pretend to disdain.

THEY’RE ALSO ADEPT at talking up their own bipartisanship – which is what most generalelection voters want – when, in fact, they almost always vote with their own party’s leadership, especially on the obscure procedural

The U.S. Capitol Building is the home of Congress, whose incumbents enjoy a distinct advantage on Election Day, writes columnist Lee H. Hamilton. votes that can decide an issue before the actual up-or-down vote is taken.

Just as important, incumbents enjoy an overwhelming advantage in elections: a large staff, both in Washington and at home, whose jobs focus on helping constituents. They find lost Social Security checks, help get funding for economic development projects, cut through red tape to secure veterans’ benefits. At election time, voters remember this.

That’s not the only help members can expect.

They’re buttressed in ways challengers can only dream about.

They’re paid a good salary, so they don’t have to worry about supporting their families while they campaign.

They get to spend their terms effectively campaigning year-round, not just at election time, and they are able to saturate their state or district with mass mailings.

The nature of their work allows them to

build ties to various interest groups back home – which quite naturally seek out the incumbents and ignore challengers.

Incumbents receive invitations to more events than they can possibly attend; challengers have trouble finding a meeting interested in having them.

INCUMBENTS GET the honored place in the parade, the prime speaking position, the upper hand when it comes to raising money; challengers have to fight for visibility and money.

And the news media seek out incumbents, often ignoring the challengers.

In fact, challengers are at a disadvantage at almost every point in a campaign. From building name recognition to arranging meetings to building credibility with editorial boards, donors, and opinion leaders, they’re trudging uphill.

They do get one leg up – they’re in the district all the time, while

the incumbent has to be in Washington regularly – but that’s a small advantage compared to the obstacles arrayed against them. Especially when districts are gerrymandered, as they often are, to protect incumbents.

This means that in primaries, incumbents generally need to focus just on the most active voters, while in general elections, the vast majority can consider themselves on safe ground.

But there’s another reason incumbents keep getting re-elected that’s also worth considering: voters – that’s you and me.

Most Americans don’t vote, which means that a U.S. senator or representative might be elected by only 20 percent of the eligible voters.

And those who do vote often cast their ballots for narrow or unusual reasons.

They like the way they got treated by the incumbent’s staff, or they shook his or her hand at a county fair, or they like his or her stand on a particular social or economic issue, or perhaps they just recognize the name.

Whatever the case, they don’t look at an incumbent’s entire record: votes on a cross-section of vital issues; willingness to work with members of different ideologies and backgrounds; ability to explain Washington back home and represent home in Washington; skill at forging consensus on tough policy challenges.

It’s really no mystery that incumbent members get re-elected. Their advantages are baked into the system.

WALCOTT, Iowa – As mile after mile rolls past along Interstate 80, the Iowa 80 Truckstop is a welcome sight.

Known as the world’s largest truck stop, it has a barber shop, a theater, and a gift store among its many offerings.

However, the gem of Exit 284, the Iowa 80 Trucking Museum, is just north of the truckstop.

Bill Moon, who started the truckstop, also began the museum’s collection, which now includes 100 antique trucks, 60 of which can be seen at the museum. Also on display are 24 vintage gas pumps and 304 old gas station collectibles.

Among them: The oldest truck on exhibit, a 1910 Avery tractor-gasoline farm wagon. This is a threespeed, four-cylinder vehicle that cost $2,500 that year. It could go all of 15 mph.

Dear Abby, I recently got married. The week before our wedding, my husband was so hateful and hard to get along with that I wasn’t sure what was going on with him.

When I asked if he was sure he still wanted to get married, he would say yes.

On the day of our wedding he brought up his ex-wife’s name twice – each time making snide remarks. Nonetheless, he married me. He has slept downstairs every night since our wedding, not in our bed. Our marriage has yet to be consummated.

So tell me, Abby, what’s

his problem? I’m miserable! – Miserable Bride in Ohio Dear Bride, The only person who an answer that question is your husband. Clearly, he is not happy either. Tell him that you are worried about him and ask him to level with you. Offer him the option of marriage counseling, but if he refuses, then, frankly, you both may be better off if this marriage is annulled.

Dear Abby, I’m in my 30s and have a tattoo on my forearm that I now regret getting. I try to wear sweaters so no

one will notice. In the past, when people discovered I have a tattoo, they have judged me, so I ended up feeling ashamed of myself.

I am debating having it removed – or I could go to driving school to become a long-haul trucker. Both options are expensive, and I’m undecided about which to do. Can you advise me? – Torn in San Antone Dear Torn, It’s a hard choice, but truck drivers make good money, so you may be on to something. Once you have the money, you could have the tattoo removed, if you still want to, so I’m voting for going to driving school.

Farmers benefit from PETE S S manure share program E RKN Online exchange connects livestock owners, gardeners

DECATUR (AP) – Illinois gardeners and livestock owners have formed mutually beneficial relationships through a free online manure exchange program.

The Illinois Manure Share introduces farmers who have an abundance of livestock manure to those who need it, The Decatur Herald and Review reported.

Charlie Sibthorp tends to large garden and 23 egg-laying hens near

Warrensburg. He said the small flock doesn’t produce enough manure to fertilize his 65-by100-foot garden, so he uses the Manure Share.

“The program is connecting people who have excellent soil, especially organic soil, with those who need it,” said soil scientist Ellen Phillips.

Manure is an organic material that produces rich soil and allows farmers to fertilize their crops in a more environmental way. The general population also benefits from the exchange because less chemicals end up in the water supply.

The Manure Share also offers tips for composting and transporting manure.

Fresh manure can be detrimental to gardens, Sibthorp said. He lets his composted manure set for a year before he uses it. After a few months, enzymes, bacteria and bugs break down the manure and other raw materials and turn it into earthy, soil-like dirt.

The manure exchange program is offered through the University of Illinois Extension. It was developed in Chicago to relieve horse owners of the large amount of feces their animals produce.

The Hensgen family goats watch from the barn Thursday afternoon. Four of the Hensgens’ goats recently died, and and others were sickened, because of overeating after strangers fed them loaves of bread.

Five goats recover; four don’t GOATS

CONTINUED FROM A1

Despite her efforts to save them, two died the next day, bloated from poisons that developed in the gastrointestinal tracts from overeating.

Snuggles was the first to go, followed by Newt.

Trouble and Poppet died a day later.

The good news: The five others – Strudel, Cuddles, Butter, Waddles and Biscuit – have recovered, she said.

Her message: “Please don’t assume you have the right to feed animals that aren’t your own. A farm is not a petting zoo.”

Despite her “no trespassing” signs, Hensgen had to start padlocking her gate, because people – strangers – would just walk in to her yard and feed her animals.

“They just don’t get the concept,” she said. “I don’t go into your yard and feed your dog.”

Now she’ll also post “don’t feed” signs.

Horseplay is a working farm, and despite her goats’ cute and cuddly names, Hensgen is not overly sentimental about the animals.

“They are farm animals; the males go for meat,” she said. “But they have good lives. I love them while they’re with me, and I take as good a care of them as I can. They are known to me by name; they are individuals.”

In fact, the ones that got the sickest were the

What happened It’s a myth that goats can and will eat anything, including tin cans. When it comes to food, though, they are voracious browsers, always looking for anything nutritional to eat.

Perhaps contributing to the myth: They, like sheep, are prone to enterotoxemia, or overeating disease.

It’s caused by two types of bacteria normally found in low numbers in their small and large intestines. In healthy animals, the bacteria is relatively inactive, and goats are given vaccines to help it stay that way.

But a sudden change in their diet – an increase in the amount of grain, or grass that they’re eating, say, or other foods rich in starch, sugar, and/or protein – causes the bacteria go into overdrive, producing toxins that can, in a very short time, sicken and even kill an animal.

They can become lethargic; they show signs of stomach pain, such as kicking at their belly, repeatedly lying down and getting up, lying on their sides, panting, and crying out; they develop diarrhea; and, in severe cases, they lose their ability to stand. !FTER THE ONSET OF DIARRHEA DEATH CAN OCCUR WITHIN minutes to hours, so quickly that an animal can be found dead with no previous signs of disease.

4HE VACCINE WHICH ALL OF !NDREA (ENSGEN S GOATS recently had, does not always save them. Of the dozen or so of hers that became sick, four died, and five nearly did, she said.

“There’s no cure-all,” she said, “even with the vaccine.” friendliest ones, the ones most likely to come up to a stranger who offers food, she said.

Hensgen has had a few days to cool down, and although the heartache remains, she’s not angry anymore. No lawsuit is in the works. No harsh words for anyone involved.

“Obviously, I’m going hysterical as goats are dropping all around me, but nobody meant any harm. I know that much,” she said Wednesday, a week after her the last two died.

And despite it all, she’s not opposed to visitors.

“I’m always happy to show folks around.”

All she asks is that you check in with her first.

Besides, it’s not just the animals that can be endangered by a random encounter. Goats butt.

Horses kick. Geese are ornery. Ever get bit by one? It hurts.

Stop by a farm and “the odds of you getting hurt are there,” Hensgen said. “Even the best dog, the best horse, they get scared.”

She just hopes people will hear her story and learn a lesson: “Do not feed other people’s animals without their permission, each and every time.”

Inventions key to teacher’s success U.N. school in

Gaza caught in cross-fire

Instructor taught for 39 years in elementary school

BY SARAH STRZALKA SSTRZALKA SHAWMEDIA COM 3HAW -EDIA

At least 15 killed, dozens wounded

Photos by Kyle Grillot/kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Retired science teacher Andrew Parke of Woodstock demonstrates one of his inventions July 9 in the basement of his home. Parke, 80, had planned on becoming an engineer, but he said the calculus concepts did him in. dozens of his inventions at once to give his students the opportunity to pursue subjects that interested them outside of the curriculum. “I said to the children, ‘You can work with these things I’ve built – I never said play – as long as you got your work done.’ They got a great deal of work done as a result.�

Back then, he made more electronics, like a 65-pound alarm clock with programmable minutes that enabled him to get his fifth-graders to their music lessons on time.

Now, he’s switched to more geometrical objects and uses more PVC pipe than copper since the price of the latter went up.

He’ll buy a toy kit in the mail for $50 but use the parts for years.

Some of the inventions created by Parke are displayed in the basement of his home. “I would say no, it’s not terribly expensive, but when you’ve had up to 200 things you’ve built in the last 9 years, it can add up,� Parke said.

His inventions take up about 120 cubic feet, but aside from a few small pieces, that’s only what he’s created since mov-

ing to Illinois from New York in 2005.

Almost all of the things he made before the move didn’t come along.

The items he’s building now may not have a practical use, but that doesn’t stop Parke from heading to the basement for an hour or so every day.

lay in a puddle of blood, while sheep and cattle belonging to those seeking shelter grazed in the grass nearby. A large scorch mark scarred the spot where one of the shells hit. Dozens of wounded, including many children, were wheeled into a nearby hospital as sirens wailed.

The U.N. said it had been trying to achieve a humanitarian pause in the fighting to allow the evacuation of civilians from the area.

Kamel al-Kafarne, who was in the school, said people were boarding buses when three tank shells hit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were about to get out of the school, then they hit the school. They kept on shelling it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

It was the fourth time a U.N. facility has been hit in Gaza fighting since the Israeli operation began on July 8. UNRWA, the U.Nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Palestinian refugee agency, has said it discovered dozens of Hamas rockets hidden inside two vacant schools, but U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said the school hit Thursday in the northern town of Beit Hanoun was not one of them.

The U.N. has also expressed alarm that rockets found in the schools have gone missing after they were turned over to local authorities in Gaza.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A U.N. school in Gaza crowded with hundreds of Palestinians seeking refuge from fierce fighting came under fire Thursday, killing at least 15 civilians and leaving a sad tableau of blood-spattered pillows, blankets and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing scattered in the courtyard.

Palestinian officials blamed Israel for the shelling, which wounded dozens and came on the deadliest day so far of the current round of fighting, while the Israeli military said it was investigating the strike and raised the possibility the compound was hit by Hamas rockets amid a marked increase in Islamic militant attacks in the area.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon angrily denounced the attack, saying the killing must â&#x20AC;&#x153;stop now.â&#x20AC;? But the frantic diplomatic efforts spanning the region were running into a brick wall: Israel demands that Hamas stop firing rockets without conditions, while Gazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Islamic militant rulers insist the 7-year IsraeliEgyptian blockade of the territory must end first.

In the aftermath of the attack, a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sandal decorated with a yellow flower

WOODSTOCK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Andrew Parkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s creations, which fill about 50 boxes in his Woodstock basement, arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t easy to describe.

Many of them look like an M.C. Escher art piece come to life and wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be out of place at the Museum of Science and Industry.

Plexiglas cut into helices that look like a DNA molecule, which Parke rolls along the floor. Multicolored gears from toy kits fastened together with nuts, bolts and washers forming a spherical shape with all the gears turning together. Small bits of particle board on hinges that fold out to make a cube.

Sometimes, he canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember how he made a piece, surmising that he may have started with a balloon to hold the original shape.

Parke, 80, had planned on becoming an engineer, but he said the calculus concepts did him in. Plus, there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;peopleâ&#x20AC;? aspect to it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like [is] most of the people in engineering talked about things and specifications and materials,â&#x20AC;?

Kindness or Cruelty?

Ultimately, there are only two basic motives which animate us, kindness or cruelty. On the side of kindness is everything that unites and uplifts us: the kind or encouraging word, the helping or healing hand, the invitation to join the group and to be a part of the great family of God. On the side of cruelty is everything that divides and debases: the mean or cutting remark, XLI HMWGSYVEKMRK [SVH XLI GPIRGLIH ½WX ERH XLI LERH [LMGL pushes away, the barrier to inclusion which says you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t welcome here.There is love and there is strife. Love unites; strife divides. Love is kind; strife is cruel.There is no third option here.

You cannot be indifferent to the choice between kindness and cruelty.We should pray that we steadfastly choose to be on the side of kindness.

- Christopher Simon I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.

lion, or $1.45 per share, in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue fell 3 percent to $14.2 billion.

Analysts expected earnings of $1.51 a share on revenue of $14.5 billion, according to Bloomberg.

Construction and mining equipment maker Caterpillar Inc. on Thursday reported higherthan-expected secondquarter earnings despite a dip in sales.

Peoria-based Caterpillar said net income climbed 4 percent to $999 million, or $1.57 per share, up from $960 mil-

tially offset by improving sales of construction equipment.

But the company warned that it expects weaker sales of construction equipment this year in key markets including China, the Commonwealth of Independent States, which includes Russia, and the Africa/ Middle East region.

As a result, Caterpillar slightly lowered its fullyear revenue outlook to a range of $54 billion to $56 billion. Caterpillar had previously forecast sales of between $53.2 billion to $58.8 billion.

Despite the lower revenue expectations, Caterpillar increased its profit outlook to $5.75 per share from $5.55 per

AVIATION

Company to buy back $1B in shares over next 3 years

AP

A United Airlines jet departs in view of the air traffic control tower in April 2013 at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. United Continental Holdings Inc. on Thursday said that net income in the second quarter was $789 million. The results topped analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expectations and marked a turnaround from the first quarter, when United was the only major U.S. carrier to report a loss.

American, Delta and Southwest were posting strong results at the same time.

But United closed the gap in the second quarter at the beginning of the peak summer travel season.

So-called ancillary revenue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; extra fees for things such as checked bags and roomier seats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rose 8

percent per passenger.

United seems to be turning the corner, said Cowen and Co. analyst Helane Becker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The outlook for the company continues to improve,â&#x20AC;? Becker wrote, citing the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s forecast of revenue per mile in the third quarter.

In the second quarter, United said that exclud-

ing special items, it would have earned $2.34 per share in the Aprilto-June quarter. Analysts surveyed by FactSet were expecting $2.19 per share.

Revenue rose 3.3 percent to $10.33 billion, slightly higher than Wall Street forecasts. Fuel and labor costs each grew about 1 percent.

Boss of company in meat scandal apologizes BEIJING (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The chairman of an American meat supplier apologized Thursday for a Chinese subsidiary that is accused of selling expired beef and chicken to restaurants including McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and KFC. Fast food chains in China suspended use of products from Shanghai Husi Food Co. after a television station reported last weekend it repackaged and sold meat past its use-by date.

Authorities launched an investigation and five Husi employees were detained

Wednesday after Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food safety agency said illegal activity was organized by the company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What happened at Husi Shanghai is completely unacceptable. I will not try to and defend it or explain it,â&#x20AC;? said Sheldon Lavin, chairman and chief executive of Aurorabased OSI Group, which owns Husi Food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I sincerely apologize to all of our customers in China,â&#x20AC;? Lavin said in a statement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will bear the responsibility of these

missteps, and will make sure they never happen again.â&#x20AC;?

Lavin said the company was sending â&#x20AC;&#x153;global expertsâ&#x20AC;? to work with staff in China.

Product safety is unusually sensitive in China following scandals over the past decade in which infants, hospital patients and others have been killed or sickened by phony or adulterated milk powder, drugs and other goods.

Employees, including Husi Foodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; quality manager, were detained Wednesday by Shanghai police.

Government investigators have yet to confirm whether they have found expired meat. Authorities seized 160 tons of raw material and 1,100 tons of finished products from Husi.

Matt Arnold, an equity analyst with Edward Jones, said the downside trend in construction machinery sales is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;modest concern.â&#x20AC;?

United Airlines posts 2Q turnaround CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; United Airlines is making money after a slow start to the year.

The airlineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s net income in the second quarter hit $789 million, topping Wall Street expectations and marking a turnaround from the first quarter, when United was the only major U.S. carrier to report a loss.

The company also said Thursday that it will buy back up to $1 billion in shares over the next 3 years.

Shares of United Continental Holdings Inc. jumped $2.60, or 5.7 percent, to $48.60 in morning trading.

United has struggled to overcome technology glitches and other problems since the 2010 merger of United and Continental. The Chicago airline lost $609 million in the first quarter as it suffered through 35,000 weather-related flight cancellations.

Mike DeWalt, Caterpillar director of investor relations, said in a conference call the company expects the third quarter to be the weakest of the year, with higher sales in the fourth quarter.

For all the success they had individually, the Sterling Elite wrestlers were happier with the team title they claimed at the Midwest Nationals earlier this month in Bloomington.

Nine of the 10 Elite team members scored points with top-6 finishes in the 11th12th grade competition, finishing with 81 points to win the team title over Major Decision, a team from St. Louis, by seven points. The tournament, held July 12-13 at the Shirk Center, featured

wrestlers from 298 different clubs around the Midwest.

But even with everybody pulling their weight equally, the team trophy still came as a bit of a shock to the group from Sterling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When our coach called me and told me we got first place, it was a big surprise,â&#x20AC;? said Cariel Beasley, who took third in the 226-248 weight class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went out and told everybody, and had to convince them that it was true. We had all really wrestled our hearts out, and we were all so excited.â&#x20AC;?

Isaac Anderson was the lone individual winner, taking

the 129-132 title with a 6-5 decision over St. Louisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Jason Carson in the championship bout. He reached that title tilt thanks to major decision victories in both the quarterfinals and semifinals, and outscored his opponents 29-7 in his final three matches.

Jaden Urrutia matched Beasleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third-place finish at 108-116, bouncing back from a quarterfinal loss to win a 16-3 major decision and a 12-5 decision in the wrestlebacks, before a 13-0 major decision victory in the thirdplace match.

MIDWEST CONTINUED ON B3

verybody on the South Side of Chicago knows how then-general manager Hawk Harrelson fired White Sox manager Tony La Russa in 1986.

What often gets overlooked is how Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, trusting another baseball executive as much as Harrelson, ultimately sent La Russa on his way to a Hall of Fame career elsewhere. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I saw the end was coming for Tony, I called Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s president Roy Eisenhardt and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve either got to fire the GM [Harrelson] or the manager. If we let Tony go, would you hire him?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Reinsdorf told the Tribune. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roy said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;In a heartbeat.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have allowed it to happen, if I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know Tony was going to get this other job.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

On June 19, 1986, the Sox dismissed La Russa after going 523-510 in eight seasons, which included the magical 1983 American League West championship.

Just 13 days after Harrelson fired him, La Russa landed in Oakland as manager of the Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, where he won his first World Series 3 years later. The manager for whom Bill Veeck predicted greatness would win two more with the Cardinals in 2006 and 2011, the year La Russa retired known as one of the smartest men ever to sit in a dugout.

NFL TRAINING CAMP | BEARS

Backup battle set to begin Palmer enters camp as No. 2 QB ahead of Clausen

BY KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com

BOURBONNAIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; One year ago in the same room we sat in on Wednesday at Olivet Nazarene University, Phil Emery put his trust in Josh McCown to be the Bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backup quarterback.

At the opening press conference for the 2014 training camp, Phil Emery and Marc Trestman talked at length about the two veterans vying to be this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s McCown, Jordan Palmer and Jimmy Clausen.

Despite the heavy praise Emery had for Clausen, whose workout with the Bears was â&#x20AC;&#x153;as good a quarterback workout that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen since Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here,â&#x20AC;? Palmer still has the first shot to be Jay Cutlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s backup. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three guys there up for the No. 2, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to start with Jordan, and we feel really good about Jimmy, and we felt really

Jimmy Clausen has the most experience, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to work him in there. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to continue to provide David with opportunity throughout camp to play and perform not only in practice, but in the games.â&#x20AC;?

NBA | CHICAGO BULLS

Bulls need this win in big way T he Bulls are rumored to be in trade talks for Kevin Love, and always will be until heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traded to the Cavaliers or the Warriors.

Yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the pessimist in me, because this has been going on for 2 years or so, and Love still hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come to the Bulls. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way things go with the Bulls in the trade/free-agency market, and this seems like another opportunity for the Bulls to get used the way they did in Carmelo Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dig Me, Pay Meâ&#x20AC;? tour.

The Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reported offer of Taj Gibson, Nikola Mirotic and Doug McDermott for the Timberwolvesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; star power forward is solid enough that some observers consider it the best the Timberwolves could do if they want to avoid putting garbage on the floor, although that has never bothered that franchise before.

But LeBron James wants Love in Cleveland, and doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if it costs the Cavaliers No. 1 draft pick Andrew Wiggins. Meanwhile, the Timberwolves want 6-foot-7 shooting guard Klay Thompson, who averaged 18.4 points a game for the Warriors.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all rumors right now. The Bulls might be pressing the action to drive up the price for the new Central Division power in Cleveland. Or the Bulls might be serious about acquiring the kind of stretch 4 theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never had in a league that is perimeter crazy.

Whatever the truth, there are buckets and McBuckets of reasons the Bulls must complete this trade, and here are your starting five: 1. The Bulls need to make a big deal in which they get the best player, who happens to be one of the best scorers in the league.

The team that gets the best player wins the trade ... the way the Celtics swiped Kevin Garnett from the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clutches the last time the Timberwolves held a big-man yard sale. The

The Bulls are still in the running in the Kevin Love sweepstakes, and they need to pull off this trade for a multitude of reasons, the biggest being to keep Love (42) away from the Cavaliers. defensively challenged players if they can score.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just 25, with 6 years NBA experience. He averaged 26 points and 12.5 rebounds a game last season. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twice the scoring Gibson gives you, and almost double the rebounds, and remember, Gibson is 4 years older and has never earned a starting spot. Love can hit the NBA 3-pointer. Maybe McDermott and Mirotic will, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still a maybe, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m taking the sure thing.

5. The Bulls need to keep Love away from the Cavaliers, because if Love gets traded to Cleveland, the Eastern Conference has just crowned a new champion. Maybe not a new NBA champion, because the East is still the JV, but the conference the Bulls play in would be decided. Beep, beep, drive home safely.

Vincenzo Nibali celebrates his victory in Stage 18 of the Tour de France on Thursday. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the fourth stage win of the race for the Italian, who has worn the yellow jersey for all but 2 days, and all but assures him of the overall Tour title.

ARGELES-GAZOST, France â&#x20AC;&#x201C; As his team hoped, Vincenzo Nibali demonstrated heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the â&#x20AC;&#x153;bossâ&#x20AC;? of the Tour de France. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compare him to the last rider to regularly bear that sobriquet at cyclingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest race, Lance Armstrong.

In a tour de force on Thursday, Nibali blew away the peloton on a Pyrenees ascent too tough to be rated in Stage 18, all but locking up victory when the race ends in Paris in 3 days.

Nibali has combined racing smarts, skill at bike-handling, and powerful climbing legs to methodically piece together a lead of more than 7 minutes, gaining seconds â&#x20AC;&#x153;here and there,â&#x20AC;? as he put it after his fourth stage win.

That margin, if it holds, would be the second largest in 25 years: Jan Ullrich won by more than 9 minutes in 1997. Armstrong won five of his seven titles from 1999 to 2005 by more than 6 minutes, but those victories were stripped after he was exposed as a doping cheat.

The last Italian to win the Tour was â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pirate,â&#x20AC;? Marco Pantani, in 1998. Nibali too knows about nicknames.

His family calls him Enzino. An attacking rider, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shark of the Straits,â&#x20AC;? in reference to the Strait of Messina off Sicily. One from his boyhood re-emerged on Thursday after the win at Hautacam resort: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flea of the Pyreneesâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a nod to its first bearer, Vincent Treuba of Spain, decades ago.

Alexandre Vinokourov, general manager of Nibaliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Astana team, said the Kazakh squad wanted the rider to show he deserved another. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;We need to show that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a boss,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Vinokourov said on French TV, recalling the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game plan. He said the stage victory was â&#x20AC;&#x153;not by chance.â&#x20AC;?

But Nibali wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impressed by the comparisons with the disgraced Armstrong. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came to the Tour with a good preparation and a good team.

But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not a boss like Lance Armstrong was,â&#x20AC;? he said through a translator. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leave the past behind us. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very clear about myself.â&#x20AC;?

As a â&#x20AC;&#x153;flag-bearer of anti-doping,â&#x20AC;? he notes his career ascension has been gradual. He won the 2010 Spanish Vuelta and the 2013 Giro dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Italia, putting him on track to become only the sixth rider ever to win all three Grand Tours.

Hector Noesi allowed three hits over 7 2/3 innings, and Adam Eaton had three hits and two RBIs to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 5-2 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Thursday night at Target Field.

Noesi (5-7) gave up two runs, struck out three and walked one in an impressive performance. Alexei Ramirez added two hits and an RBI for Chicago, and Jake Petricka went one inning to pick up his fifth save in six chances.

Phil Hughes (10-7) gave up two runs and four hits and struck out four for the Twins. But he left the game with a right shin contusion in the fourth inning when he was hit by a chopper off the bat of Adam Dunn. Hughes is listed as day-to-day.

Danny Santana hit a tworun homer in the eighth inning for the Twins, who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch Noesi most of the way.

La Russa made strong first impression HAUGH

CONTINUED FROM B1

Interestingly for Chicago baseball fans, the road that led La Russa to Cooperstown, N.Y., for Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall of Fame induction winds back 35 years to 35th and Shields, where the residue of regret remains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I made the biggest mistake of my life,â&#x20AC;? Reinsdorf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;First of all, I made Hawk the general manager. That was pretty stupid. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always believed if you had somebody in charge of a department, he should have his own people. So I allowed him to fire Tony.

It was the dumbest thing I ever did.â&#x20AC;?

Reinsdorf chuckled at the memory. He valued La Russa so much that he wanted to bring him back to Chicago in 1995, but then-GM Ron Schueler resisted. A bond that remains strong began days after the Reinsdorf group bought the Sox in January 1981, when he met privately with La Russa and immediately sensed brilliance.

His respect only grew before an inevitable power struggle forced Reinsdorfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just buckled,â&#x20AC;? Reinsdorf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The right decision would have been to let Hawk go. I was still too new and too naĂŻve. It has been almost 30 years, I still regret it.â&#x20AC;?

Harrelson, La Russaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teammate on the 1963 Kansas City Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, long ago processed any remorse he felt over firing his friend. The two â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk for 6 or 7 years,â&#x20AC;? but eventually cleared the air enough that Harrelson sounded like a big brother lauding La Russaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legacy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony managed 33 years and only got fired once, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking to the [expletive] who fired him,â&#x20AC;? said Harrelson, who spent only one season as GM. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tony will go down as one of the greatest managers who ever lived. He did more to change the culture of baseball than any manager Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen.â&#x20AC;?

It was that intellect Roland Hemond noticed first when La Russa, now the Diamondbacks chief

baseball officer, was a Triple-A player-coach in 1976 with the Iowa Oaks.

La Russa later would credit his time around Iowa manager Loren Babe as influencing his decision to bypass a life practicing law for managing. He wrote Hemond a letter in 1978 that led to his first job as the Double-A manager in Knoxville, where one of his players was a promising outfielder named Harold Baines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loren Babe told me, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Keep track of this guy, La Russa,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? recalled Hemond, 84, the Sox GM from 1970 to 1985. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I set up two visits with Bill Veeck in spring training to get to know him. After the first one, Bill came down and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Loren was right. This is an intelligent young man.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

When Sox manager Don Kessinger resigned with 54 games left in the 1979 season, Veeck remembered his conversations with the bright young lawyer.

Just 34, La Russa took over. La Russa got the news when former Sox executive Walt Jocketty

interrupted his lunch at a Chinese restaurant in Des Moines, where he was managing the Soxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Triple-A affiliate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good fortune indeed.

Within hours, La Russa flew to Chicago, where he inherited a 46-60 team that played .500 the rest of the way. La Russaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival captured the imagination of many South Siders, except announcer Harry Caray, who liked to say Veeck hired the cheapest manager available. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry destroyed Tony,â&#x20AC;? Reinsdorf said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I only wish he were alive to see this.â&#x20AC;?

During an interview at the end of La Russaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first season, Caray asked Hemond a typically blunt question. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harry said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How could you hire Tony La Russa?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? Hemond said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I answered, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harry, this young man has a great mind and feel for the game. I think Tonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be one of the great managers of our time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Thanks to the Sox giving La Russa his first opportunity, he was.

Be realistic, not impractical

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Scott Adams, a cartoonist and writer, said, “Never base your budget requests on realistic assumptions, as this could lead to a decrease in your funding.”

Never base your declarer play or defense on unrealistic assumptions, as this could lead to a decrease in your trick-taking.

In this deal, for example, how should South play in three no-trump after West leads a fourth-highest spade five?

South is not wildly enthusiastic about opening one notrump with two weak suits, but he has no realistic choice.

If he opens one diamond and North responds one spade, what would South do then? Yes, here North

would make a limit raise in diamonds. Then South could rebid three hearts to show his stopper in that suit, North would bid three spades, and South would sign off in three

no-trump. That sequence, though, gives the defenders much more information.

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade, four hearts, one diamond and one club. Given the spade lead, declarer does not have time to play on diamonds.

Realistically, he would surely lose at least four spades and one diamond. Instead, he must hope that the club finesse is working. And there isn’t a moment to lose. After winning the first or second trick with dummy’s spade ace, South must take a club finesse. When it wins, he returns to the dummy with a diamond, takes a second club finesse and claims.

Finally, note that five diamonds is worse than three no-trump, because it relies on a good diamond position and the club finesse. © 2014 UFS

Clausen looking strong after surgery

TRAINING CAMP | PACKERS

BACKUP

CONTINUED FROM B1

MCT

The Packers’ Clay Matthews (left) celebrates after a sack of Bears quarterback Jay Cutler at Soldier Field.

Matthews has healed from a thumb injury that bothered him throughout the 2013-14 season.

Making being green and yellow easier

“I think he grew, from a leadership perspective. I think his focus grew. He always showed me he could be creative and make some plays on his own,” Emery said.

“I don’t think mobility is his biggest asset, but I definitely saw a player that knows how to get out of the way and get the ball off in time, and a mentally tough player that will take a hit to deliver the ball with accuracy and precision.

“I really like how he came in here. He’s got a little chip on his shoulder right now. He wants to re-prove himself, or prove himself, and he’s

very focused.”

Emery said that Clausen reached out to Cutler, and the two of them spent a weekend working on the playbook, helping get Clausen through minicamp and sticking with the roster for Bourbonnais.

The issue for every team’s competition at backup quarterback – always a weird battle on a team like the Bears, when the winner of the No. 2 job ideally will only take a snap if Cutler gets hurt – is reps.

“It’s going to be interesting. There’s not going to be a lot of reps for them,” Cutler said. “I think a lot MCT of it is going to play out Jimmy Clausen spent 4 years in Carolina, but he in the preseason games, because I’m going to get a is battling during Bears training camp with Jordan Palmer for the backup spot to Jay Cutler. lot of the reps in camp.”

Packers simplifying some schemes "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

GREEN BAY – When Aaron Rodgers, Clay Matthews, and the rest of the Packers are healthy, they might be able to beat anybody in the NFL. Now if they could only stay out of that crowded trainer’s room.

Coach Mike McCarthy is preparing for the worst, just in case, after 2013’s injury-plagued season.

So come training camp, Green Bay will be getting used to schemes that have been simplified a bit – particularly on defense – in hopes of gaining more roster flexibility.

The acclimation process started during offseason workouts.

“We’ve learned some hard lessons here of late,” McCarthy said. “The last couple years of maybe playing some players that probably weren’t quite ready because of the scheme ... we’re playing off utilizing your best players, and that’s a trap you just don’t want to fall into as a coach.”

Don’t worry, Cheeseheads, No. 12 isn’t going anywhere. Offensive Rookie of the Year Eddie Lacy is back, too, at running back, along with Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb at receiver. There will be position battles at center, wide receiver after the top two, and tight end.

But with Rodgers back and in his prime at age 30, the Packers are a favorite to win a fourth straight NFC North title. They appeared well on their way in 2013 to at least a 12-win season when Rodgers broke his collarbone at midseason.

To get further than the first round of the playoffs, the defense will have to get better. Here’s where one of McCarthy’s bold proclamations comes in.

“We’re going to be a better defense this year,” McCarthy said. “You can write that in big letters.”

Some things to watch in Packers camp: GETTING A GRIP: Matthews spent much of last season nagged by a thumb injury. After having surgery, the linebacker has been working on getting his grip back, and strengthening his forearms.

The rest of the defense can’t wait to see what the pass rush might look like with a healthy Matthews on the field at the same time as the team’s big free-agent signee, 6-foot7 end-linebacker Julius Peppers.

“But like a really dominant player on the outside, I really haven’t had that ever,” Peppers said of Matthews. “I’m excited to get out there with him, and see what he can do.”

Unlimited Talk & Text

PACK’S PEPPERS:

Speaking of the former Chicago Bear, Peppers has just the kind of résumé McCarthy was looking for in trying to add impact players on defense. Sure, he’s 34 and had only seven sacks last year, down from two straight seasons of at least 11. But Peppers has 118½ sacks in his 12-year career.

The transition has been smooth.

“From what I heard, they scaled things back, made it a little bit simpler,” he said. “That’s good for me coming in; I don’t have to learn as much.”

ELEPHANT ON THE FIELD: Next stop on the

defense, the elephant.

It’s a new term for a position with the Packers, though the task as described by coordinator Dom Capers sounds as if it might already fit a few players in the 3-4 scheme.

That includes Peppers and linebackers Nick Perry and Mike Neal.

“An elephant for us could maybe be in certain schemes an outside backer. He could be a defensive end in other schemes,” Capers said.

“When you have a number of different schemes, you could see a number of different elephants on the field in different spots based off what those schemes are.”

MAKE AN IMPACT:

Green Bay safeties didn’t get an interception in 2013, exemplifying the team’s season-long woes in not coming up with enough big plays.

Sounds obvious for the preseason, but rookies or younger players who can make those impact plays might get the most opportunities for time on the field.

Brickyard proves Stewart wrong Smoke initially opposed idea of NASCAR racing at Indy By the Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drivers always say thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something magical about Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the opportunity for NASCAR to race there opened the door for one of Jeff Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most treasured victories.

It was a race Tony Stewart initially opposed.

Stewart, a die-hard open-wheel driver at the time of the inaugural Brickyard 400 in 1994, was one of the many IMS loyalists, who firmly believed NASCAR did not belong on the hallowed grounds of the speedway. The Indiana native had grown up dreaming of one day winning the Indy 500.

Until 1994, it was the only big race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was one of them that absolutely thought it was a crime,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a purist. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m old school. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been sacred ground to me.â&#x20AC;?

He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in Indy when NASCAR made its debut, and had to watch the race later on a replay.

Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mind was instantly changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were other people that I knew that were dead against it, that went just to see what it was going to be like,

AP

Driver Tony Stewart grew up near Indianapolis, and did not like it when NASCAR proposed the idea of racing at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Sprint Cup, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glad to have the chance to win at the Brickyard. and they came back and felt the same way,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think everybody changed their mind and their opinion after they saw that first one.â&#x20AC;?

The 20th anniversary of NASCARâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first race at Indy is Sunday, when Gordon will go for his fifth Brickyard win.

A California native, Gordon moved to Indiana before high school to race around the Midwest. Like Stewart, he was enamored with Indy, but his path into NASCAR made him believe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never get a shot to race at the speedway, which has been home to the Indy 500 since 1911.

Then the speedway

opened its gates to NASCAR, and a 23-year-old Gordon won the inaugural event. It was only his second career victory, but remains one of the biggest in a career of 89 wins and four championships. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My love for Indianapolis and the Indianapolis 500 goes way back to when I was racing in California, and I was racing open wheel cars on an oval,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sprint cars were what I looked up to, and what I loved to watch as a kid.

The drivers were my heroes. The [Indy 500] was one that I always put on the calendar that I was going to watch. I always wanted to race

there, and to get that opportunity, especially an opportunity to win, it just is a way to live out a childhood dream.â&#x20AC;?

Gordon also won the Brickyard in 1998, 2001, and 2004. Jimmie Johnson, his Hendrick Motorsports teammate, tied his mark with wins in 2006, 2008, 2009, and 2012.

Gordon recalled the excitement surrounding his first race at Indy, which sold out in less than 24 hours after the ticket office opened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of the things that stand out to me was really about just the madness and craziness of how big that event was, how popular it was among fans, not just traditional NASCAR fans, but new fans to the sport,â&#x20AC;? Gordon said.

Stewart, a two-time Brickyard winner, never got his victory in the Indianapolis 500. But he treasures his two NASCAR wins, and looks forward to returning to his home track every year.

He won the race as Ryan Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car owner last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you grow up 45 minutes from Indy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is sacred ground to me. It always has been, always will be,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care how many times you win there, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never enough.â&#x20AC;?
