OGLE COUNTY | SPENDING IN THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

Ads promote sheriff’s budgets Harn: spots aren’t political

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 529

OREGON – The Ogle County Sheriff’s Department returned a combined $1.3 million to the county by being under its budget the past 2 years. The department

by Ogle County Life, a weekly newspaper.

The print ad was placed in Ogle County Life and the the Rochelle News Leader, Sheriff Michael Harn said in an email. They cost $1,008 each.

Radio advertisements are also running on at least one radio station.

Harn didn’t respond to a separate email requesting information about the radio ads. On Tues-

made the announcement with paid advertisements.

Those ads, and their relation to the March 18 primary election, were questioned by a county resident during an Ogle County Board meeting last week, according to a story published

day, Sauk Valley Media submitted a Freedom of Information Act request for information about the radio ads.

“I took out the ads because the people in Ogle County are entitled to know that their tax dollars are being spent wisely, not recklessly as portrayed in your newspaper,” Harn said in an earlier email.

ROCK FALLS – No injuries were reported after a Harmon Township snowplow struck a Union Pacific train

Tuesday afternoon east of Rock Falls.

Lee County Sheriff John Varga said a call came in around 12:15 p.m. to report the collision between a plow and a train on Coon Road

near Schilpp Road. The crash site is just east of the Lee-Whiteside county line.

Varga said the plow driver couldn’t stop on the ice and skidded into the train.

There was no damage to

the train and only minimal damage to the plow on the front on the driver’s side.

The driver of the plow refused treatment, Varga said, as did the train’s conductor and engineer.

MOUNT CARROLL – Carroll County State’s Attorney Scott Brinkmeier is not talking these days about his former prosecutor, Hunter Hogan.

But he addressed issues surrounding Hogan a couple of years ago when his Republican primary opponent challenged him the subject. He said at the time that he had informed the attorney general about Hogan.

On March 9, 2012, Michelle Buckwalter-Schurman, Brinkmeier’s rival for the Republican nomination, brought up Hogan during a Carroll County Republican Women’s lunScott cheon.

Brinkmeier An account of the event appeared in the Prairie Advocate, a Lanark-based weekly newspaper, which recently became a sister publication to Sauk ValMichelle ley Media.

BuckwalterAccording to Schurman the state, Hogan, who is in his late 30s and recently moved to Cairo, Egypt, pursued a personal relationship with a 19-year-old woman he had prosecuted as a defendant. He also pursued a relationship with a 17-yearold victim in a child pornography case that he prosecuted on behalf of the state, public records say.

According to the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission, Hogan’s actions with the 17-year-old girl rose to the level of criminal conduct.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Seeking to energize his sluggish second term, President Barack Obama vowed Tuesday night in his State of the Union address to sidestep Congress “whenever and wherever� necessary to narrow economic disparities between rich and poor.

He unveiled an array of modest executive actions to increase the minimum wage for federal contract workers and make it easier for millions of low-income Americans to save for retirement. “America does not stand still, and neither do I,� Obama declared in his prime-time address before a joint session of Congress and millions of Americans watching on television.

Draped in presidential grandeur, Obama’s address served as the opening salvo in a midterm election fight for control of Congress that will quickly consume Washington’s attention. Democrats, seeking to cast Republicans as uncaring about the middle class, have urged Obama to focus on economic mobility and the gap between the wealthy and poor. His emphasis on executive actions was greeted with shouts of “Do it!� from many members of his party.

Declaring 2104 a “year of action,� Obama also

President Barack Obama delivers the State of Union address before a joint session of Congress in the House chamber Tuesday in Washington. sought to convince an increasingly skeptical public that he still wields power in Washington even if he can’t crack through the divisions in Congress. Burned by a series of legislative failures in 2013, White House aides say they’re now redefining success not by what Obama can jam through Congress but by what actions he can take on his own.

Indeed, Obama’s proposals for action by lawmakers were slim and largely focused on old ideas that have gained little traction over the past year. He pressed Congress to revive a stalled immigration overhaul, pass an

across-the-board increase in the federal minimum wage and expand access to early childhood education – all ideas that gained little traction after he proposed them last year. The president’s one new legislation proposal calls for expanding an income tax credit for workers without children.

Republicans, who saw their own approval ratings fall further in 2013, have also picked up the refrain of income inequality in recent months, though they have cast the widening gap between rich and poor as a symptom of Obama’s economic policies. “Republicans have

plans to close the gap, plans that focus on jobs first without more spending, government bailouts and red tape,� said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., in the Republicans’ televised response to the president’s speech.

The economy and other domestic issues, including health care, dominated the president’s address. He touched only briefly on foreign policy, touting the drawdown of American troops from Afghanistan this year and reiterating his threat to veto any new sanctions Congress might levy on Iran while nuclear negotiations with the Islamic republic are underway.

DATELINE DIXON

There could be life left for Lincoln statue D

IXON – Inside Lincoln Elementary School there’s a statue of a young Abraham Lincoln, long before he became the country’s 16th president.

The statue depicts Lincoln, at age 7, reading a book.

After this school year, Lincoln Elementary School will be closed, and its students will move to another Dixon Public Schools building to address the financial woes facing the district.

But there may still be life for the statue.

Harriet Ann Badger, of Dixon, submitted a letter to the editor recently suggesting the statue might fit best at Northwest Territory Historic Center.

529.

I spoke with Dixon Public Schools Superintendent Michael Juenger about the statue this week. While he said it’s ultimately a decision to be made by the school board, he was in favor of keeping the statue within the district.

The statue could find a worthy home, Juenger said, at Washington Ele-

The school board will talk about the statue, Juenger said, and take into account what the Dixon community wants. ‘City kid’ learning about life on a farm Early last week, as I was standing out in the cold on a farm in Polo

with Brent Scholl, we started talking about a virus.

The virus – porcine epidemic diarrhea, or PED – isn’t harmful to humans or other animals, but causes outbreaks of severe diarrhea and vomiting in pigs, according to the American Association of Swine Veterinarians.

Natural immunity develops within 2 to 4

weeks, according to the organization.

While this isn’t necessarily a Dateline Dixon dinner topic, I found something especially interesting when talking with Scholl: The virus can live on a surface – like a rock – for up to 10 days.

He had no reason to believe the virus had made its way to his farm, and said the Sauk Valley still was safe. He compared PED to other pig viruses in the past, and made it clear to me how serious this could be if it gets to this area.

I also asked Scholl about his cattle, and how they were handling the cold. As long as they had shelter from the wind, which they do, he

said they should be fine to survive. The fact that they had some frost on their back, he said, was a good sign because it shows that they are insulated.

As someone who grew up in Chicago and has lived in cities bigger than Sterling, Dixon or Rock Falls my whole life, I find the agriculture industry and culture more and more interesting the more I get to know it.

No domestic violence charges filed against Reyes Prosecutor: Woman didn’t want to pursue

BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 525

ROCK ISLAND – Former congressional candidate Eric Reyes won’t face charges after being arrested this month on suspicion of domestic violence, the state’s attorney’s office said.

Norma Kauzlarich, a first assistant in the office of Rock Island state’s attorney, said neither Reyes nor the woman

suffered serious injuries. “The alleged victim didn’t want to pursue it,�

Kauzlarich said. “That alone is not sufficient [to decide against charging].

We always make sure to contact the alleged victim. This was done on three occasions over that weekend. We try to make that determination with the victim’s input and the evidence at the time.�

The state’s attorney’s office sometimes prosecutes cases, even when victims change their minds and don’t want to pursue charges, Kauzlarich said. “We don’t want to re-victimize victims, but our job is to uphold the laws of this

Dorothy A. Langford Sept. 7, 1916 – Jan. 26, 2014 FORSYTH – Dorothy Alene Langford was born Sept. 7, 1916, to Ralph and Florence Tuckerman on the Tuckerman farm near Walnut. When she was 6 years old, the family moved to a house in Walnut where she went to school, graduating from high school in 1934. She then attended North Central College in Naperville and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in music education in 1937.

Dorothy married Claude Langford on Dec. 31, 1937. They lived in Walnut until 1959, when they moved to Dalton City. Their only child, Dean T. Langford, was born June 19, 1939.

Dorothy taught school in Walnut for a few years and then taught piano lessons in both towns until 1975. Her normal teaching enrollment was 40-plus students per week for 35 years.

She also played the organ at Walnut Methodist Church for 15 years, and Dalton City Presbyterian Church for 9 years until it closed.

During her life, she played organ for several hundred weddings and funerals in many churches in downstate Illinois, retiring in 1990.

She was very active in Walnut and Dalton City community activities, such as the American Legion Auxiliary and women’s clubs. Dorothy reached and positively impacted the lives of tens of thousands of people with her music.

Claude Langford spent his business life in the banking business, and owned Hight State Bank in Dalton City. Dorothy Langford always was involved in support of Claude’s work life at the bank, helping with meetings, giving Christmas parties, co-manag-

ing a major remodeling project at the bank. She also owned and managed Dalton City Paint and Hardware Store for 9 years.

Dorothy had been a fervent supporter of the University of Illinois in Champaign for many years, and followed the basketball and football teams with her husband from coast to coast for more than 20 years. Her son, Dean Langford, endowed a chair and established a scholarship fund at the University of Illinois College of Music to honor Dorothy and her love of music in 1990.

Three years after Claude’s death in 1995, Dorothy moved to Hickory Point Christian Village in Forsyth, and resided there until her death on Sunday, Jan. 26, 2014. During her life at Hickory Point, she had remained active in many community endeavors and was a source of positive energy to that community.

Dorothy is survived by one son, Dean Langford of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla; one grandson, Doug (Sharon) Langford; and two great-grandchildren, Nicole Alene Langford and Dylan Tucker Langford. Doug is the pastor of Edgewood Free Methodist Church in Brighton, N.Y. Visitation was Tuesday at Dawson & Wikoff North Chapel Funeral Home in Decatur.

I’d never seen one before, and after talking to some folks over at the National Weather Service for a while, since I’m from San Diego, it’s no surprise why.

Colloquially, it’s called a sun dog, (also sometimes “phantom sun� or “mock sun�), but the effect’s real name is “parhelion.�

Sun dogs appear on either side of the sun, equidistant from the horizon line, and are most visible when the sun is low in the sky. On the side nearest to the sun, they’ll appear red and, much like rainbows, will then move from orange to violet.

DeKALB – A DeKalb police officer fatally shot a 28-year-old Malta man about noon Tuesday when officers said he was stabbing his father and stepmother in their home on the city’s south side.

The two stabbing victims – Charlotte Lupton, 67, and Carl Lupton, 57 – were taken to Kishwaukee Hospital in DeKalb and cooperated with initial police investigations. Police witnessed Cameron D. Lupton attack his stepmother

with the knife, DeKalb Police Chief Gene Lowery said.

A hospital spokeswoman said Tuesday night she could not release updated condition information about the couple.

The two officers involved have been placed on paid administrative leave as Illinois State Police conduct an independent investigation into the police use of deadly force, Lowery said in a news release. “I’m confident actions of all those involved were professional and courageous,� Lowery

said, adding he believes the officers saved the lives of Carl and Charlotte Lupton.

During an interview Tuesday, Lowery would not release the officers’ names or how many times the gun was fired, but said the two DeKalb police officers on the scene have been placed on paid administrative leave according to the department’s policy regarding use of deadly force.

Lowery also would not comment on what kind of knife Cameron Lupton was using.

Here’s how to liven up NFL games Jazz up PATs with the chance for three points Chicago Tribune Editorial Board

The New England Patriots’ Stephen Gostkowski has kicked 360 points after touchdown, or PATs, in a row. He hasn’t missed since 2006. But it’s not the kind of streak that has fans glued to their couches.

It’s rare for any NFL kicker to miss an extra point. There were only five missed PATs (out of 1,267 tries) in this year’s regular season – and 18 in the past 3 years combined, out of more than 3,000 attempts. It works out to about 0.5 percent.

Tacking on the extra point is so automatic. So

anticlimactic that fans tend to use that 45-second window to fetch a beer, go to the bathroom, or check the score on another channel.

And that suited everyone just fine, if you want to know the truth, until NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell posed a question: If 99.5 percent of touchdowns are worth seven points, why bother with the kick?

Goodell thinks the NFL could liven things up by eliminating the kick, scoring the touchdown as seven points and inviting teams to take a real risk: They could tack on another point by completing a conversion – but if it failed, officials would subtract a point.

Or they could take the seven points and call in the kickoff unit.

Give the guy credit: He gave football fans something to argue about now that the Brady vs. Manning thing has been settled. Our unofficial estimate is that 5 percent of fans like Goodell’s idea, 5 percent hate it, and 90 percent think they have a better one.

WE HAVE A BETTER one ourselves, though it turns out a million other people have the same one, or close.

Here it is: Keep the kick, but move it back. Way back. Far enough that maybe the kicker will make it and maybe he won’t. Spot the ball on, say, the 25-yard line. It’s the equivalent of moving the goal posts.

To reward risk-taking, give teams the option of moving back even farther

– let’s say to the 35 – to attempt a three-point kick. Or they could still try for the two-point conversion.

Under this plan, a touchdown can be worth six, seven, eight or nine points. Suddenly, it makes sense to wait for the next commercial to fetch that beer.

Moving the PAT back could be a real gamechanger, like the threepoint field goal in basketball. In the NBA, a daunting fourth-quarter deficit can be erased quickly by a hot 3-point shooter.

But the best of those shooters miss more than 6 times out of 10.

When a player fires from beyond the arc, fans hold their breath.

Nobody does that when Steve Gostkowski trots onto the field.

SPRINGFIELD – A group trying to put a remap reform amendment on the fall ballot said it is on target to meet its goal of collecting signatures, but won’t say how many have been collected.

Yes for Independent Maps needs to collect 300,000 valid signatures

by May 4 in order for the proposed amendment to appear on the ballot in November. “We are well on track to achieve our goal before the deadline,� Michael Kolenc, campaign manager for the organization, told The State JournalRegister editorial board last week.

However, when asked just how many signatures the organization has collected so far, Kolenc declined to be specific. “We’re just choosing not to publicize the numbers at this point,� he said. “We’re working with hundreds of volunteers across the state. We’re very happy with where we are.�

Yes for Independent Maps wants to change the process used in Illinois to draw new legislative district boundaries every 10 years to reflect changes in population.

Critics contend that under the current process, boundaries are drawn to protect incumbents and create safe districts for one party or the other. “THIS WILL TAKE politics out of the process,�

Kolenc said. “It is not hyperbole to say maps are drawn behind closed doors. Right now, there is no openness, there is no transparency, and they are drawn 100 percent based on partisan politics.�

The amendment would require that maps be drawn by an appointed, 11-member commission.

Elected officials, state employees, state or federal lobbyists, state contractors and immediate family members of those people would not be eligible to serve.

A complex selection process would be established that includes an initial screening by the auditor general’s office to cut the field of applicants to 100. In California, which adopted the same system, some 30,000 people applied to serve on the commission, Kolenc said.

THE FINAL MAKEUP of the commission would include four Democrats, four Republicans, and three independents representing all areas of the state. Under the plan, some members would be picked by lottery and others by party leaders. The commission would have to hold hearings around the state before adopting new legislative maps. “It is a very complex system that is meant to put faith and trust, transparency and independence back into the drawing of state maps,� Kolenc said.

The effort has drawn support from a wide range of individuals and organizations, including Common Cause Illinois, the League of Women Voters, the Illinois Chamber of Commerce, and the Illinois Manufacturers’ Association.

Even if the organization collects enough valid signatures, Kolenc said, he anticipates there will be a court challenge to keep the amendment off the ballot. The organization is continuing fundraising efforts to finance the petition-gathering effort, to have funds to fight a court case, and ultimately to mount a campaign to get voters to approve the amendment.

During the last 3 months of 2013, records show, Yes for Independent Maps reported raising more than $490,000 and spending about $329,000. The organization ended the year with slightly more than $201,000 in its campaign account.

ILLINOIS

Labor unions sue over plan to cut pensions Suit asks court to stop the law SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Some of the largest public labor unions in Illinois filed a long-awaited lawsuit Tuesday challenging the state’s new pension reform law, a move that could delay implementation of the landmark measure and have major ramifications in upcoming elections.

On the eve of a State of the State address by Gov. Pat Quinn, who faces a tough re-election campaign, lawyers for the We Are One Illinois coalition of unions filed the lawsuit in Sangamon County Circuit Court on behalf of two dozen retired employees.

The lawsuit, which follows others already filed by retirees, argues the pension bill approved by the Legislature and

Quinn signed more than a month ago violates a clause of the state constitution that says pension benefits may not be “diminished or impaired.� It also asks the court to stop the law from taking effect until the case is decided.

Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFLCIO, said the suit “makes it clear that pension theft is not only unfair, it’s clearly unconstitutional.� “The Legislature and governor shirked their responsibility to uphold the constitution, so we are seeking justice in court to right their wrongs,� Carrigan said.� Promises must be kept, and the rule of law must prevail over politics.�

The 25 named plaintiffs in the suit include retired public school teachers, firefighters, prison workers, and employees of various state agencies.

Quinn, state treasurer Dan Rutherford – one of four Republican bidders for governor – and comptroller Judy Baar Topinka are defendants, along with the state’s retirement systems.

Senate President John Cullerton called the legislation an important test for the courts as the Legislature will begin to focus on other pension reform in the upcoming spring session, including for the city of Chicago.

Quinn’s spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said Tuesday the lawsuit came as no surprise. “We believe it’s constitutional, and we’ll defend the interests of taxpayers,� Anderson said.

The timing, however, is less than convenient for the Democratic governor. During Quinn’s address today, he is expected to tout the pension overhaul aimed at eliminating a worst-

in-the-nation pension shortfall as a definitive step in ending a crisis he has said he was “put on Earth� to solve. “ The crisis has created somewhat of a rift between the governor and the state’s public employee unions, some of which are top campaign contributors.

AFSCME, the state’s largest employees union, will hold an endorsement session Saturday, where Quinn and lawmakers supportive of the pension package could see ramifications as they seek reelection bids. “Know that the pension theft bill, matters of retirement security more broadly will weigh heavily in terms of those endorsement decisions at every level,� AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall said.

Illinois’ five publicretirement systems were $100 billion short

of what was needed to meet the state’s obligations to workers and retirees when the Legislature passed the measure. Its supporters say the plan will reduce that unfunded liability by about more than $20 billion and fully fund the pension systems by 2044. Originally projected to save $160 billion over 30 years, governor’s office last week readjusted estimates citing market changes, noting the plan will now save the state about $145 billion over the next three decades.

The plan reduces the annual cost-of-living increases for retirees and raises the retirement age for workers 45 and younger, giving some workers the option of freezing their pension and participating in a 401(k)-style contribution plan. It also puts some sav-

ings back into the pension funds and directs money from pension bond payments to the retirement systems after those bonds are paid off in 2019. Lawmakers also included two components they say were intended to improve the plan’s odds of surviving a legal challenge: a 1 percent decrease in employee contributions and a funding guarantee, which allows the systems to sue the state if lawmakers don’t provide Illinois’ payments to the accounts.

Illinois’ pension problem was the result of decades of lawmakers skipping or shorting payments to the systems which siphoned away money away from and social services. The shortfall also caused the major credit rating agencies to downgrade Illinois to the lowest credit rating of any state.

Brinkmeier hasn’t returned calls for comment for months ATTORNEY

CONTINUED FROM A1

In early 2010, after the girl turned 17 – by Hogan’s own admission – he kissed her and touched her breasts, according to public records. In Illinois, the age of consent for sexual contact is 17, although an adult with authority over a 17-yearold is barred by law from having such relations.

At the 2012 luncheon, Buckwalter-Schurman said she was disturbed by Brinkmeier’s assertions that he was “tough on sex crimes.� Yet no charges had been filed against Hogan, she said. “We’re a small county,� the Prairie Advocate

reported her saying. “We don’t slide things under the rug. Let’s deal with them head on.�

Brinkmeier responded at the luncheon that the matter had been referred to the attorney general’s office for investigation. “I don’t think I should be handling it,� Brinkmeier said. “I wasn’t aware of anything until after the allegation was made to my office. As soon as it was made, he was terminated from the office – he never worked another day in the office.�

Buckwalter-Schurman said Brinkmeier could have asked for a special prosecutor.

Brinkmeier told the audience that he would provide anyone with a

copy of the letter he had sent to the state attorney general’s office.

Brinkmeier hasn’t returned calls for comment for months.

Buckwalter-Schurman couldn’t be reached.

Last year, the state Supreme Court disbarred Hogan, a Houston native.

In an interview with the Prairie Advocate in March 2012, BuckwalterSchurman pointed to a complaint against Hogan filed by the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. Months before Brinkmeier told Hogan to resign or be fired, he had known that the attorney was involved with the pornography victim personally, according to the complaint.

According to the disciplinary commission, Hogan had exchanged emails and text messages and communicated on Facebook and MySpace about personal matters with the victim. He also met with the victim alone and for swing dance lessons, the complaint says.

As a result of Hogan’s interactions with the victim and her family, the complaint says, Brinkmeier told Hogan that he was concerned that his objectivity had been compromised. He ordered Hogan to have no other contact with the victim and her family until the case ended. Brinkmeier also removed Hogan from the case entirely.

On Feb. 16, 2010, a pro-

bation officer informed Brinkmeier about “inappropriate contact� between the 19-year-old defendant and Hogan.

The defendant told the probation officer, according to the complaint, that she feared Hogan’s contact with her could jeopardize her probation and wanted the attorney to leave her alone.

Buckwalter-Schurman said Brinkmeier should have fired Hogan months before, when he received word about the personal communications with the pornography victim.

On Feb. 25, 2010, Brinkmeier gave Hogan his ultimatum – resign or be fired. “[B]ut surely 9 days should not have passed

between receiving the second indication and getting this guy out of his position as an officer of the court,� she told the Prairie Advocate.

On Feb. 22, 2010 – 3 days before the ultimatum – Hogan had met with the pornography victim, kissing her and touching her breasts, the complaint said. “Sending a letter to the attorney general, as Brinkmeier indicated at the [Republican] meeting, is all the state’s attorney did, apparently,� she said. “Why not have a special prosecutor appointed and/or follow up with the attorney general and insist on some action being taken to protect these girls?�

Husband’s plumbing help results in leaky marriage Dear Abby, I have been with my husband for 19 years. I offered his plumbing services to a married couple I work with. While he was fixing the problem, he became friendly with their adult daughter. She was lonely, and I knew the family, so I wasn’t concerned. Their relationship developed into something more and we separated. He ended their friendship and we reconciled.

Things were going great, but she continued to contact him. He has suddenly decided he can’t live without her friendship and has decided to divorce me in order to continue it with her. He swears it’s platonic, but something he can’t live without. He hopes we can “still be friends!�

My question is how to move on from this. I have to see her enabling parents every day at work, and all of this happened under their roof. I feel betrayed on every level,

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

especially by my husband, who was my best friend. Every aspect of my life, including my job, has been affected.

Have you any advice for moving past this without all of the anger I carry? I don’t want to leave my job. It pays well and the commute is easy. But every time I see either one of the parents, I want to cry and scream.

P.S. My husband and I still live together as “roommates,� as this is all very recent, and we haven’t figured out our living arrangements yet. – Wronged in New England

Dear Wronged, I do not for one minute believe that your husband’s relationship with this woman is strictly platonic, and neither should you. Consult a lawyer now, while you and your husband are still “roommates.� Make sure he doesn’t hide any assets because, after 19 years of marriage, you should be entitled to a healthy share of them.

I agree that you have been wronged, but for now hang onto your temper. “Best friends� don’t treat each other the way you have been treated. It may take the help of a religious adviser or licensed mental health professional for you to let go of your anger.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Homemade bagels fun to make Dish requires just a few key ingredients

BY KIM ODE MCT News Service

B

agels are so familiar these days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; perhaps too familiar, given the contortions of new flavors, from chocolate chip to spinach.

But bagels, at heart, are about the basics: yeast, water, flour, salt and a bit of sweetener. What takes a bagel from good to great involves using the best basics.

Yeast, water and salt are straightforward enough, although for convenienceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sake, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat instant yeast.

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to first be dissolved in warm water, but merely is whisked into the flour.

For bagels, bread flour is the path to the distinctive chewiness because it has more protein, or strength, than all-purpose flour.

The choice of sweetener is the final key to a great bagel. Barley malt syrup, readily available in local food co-ops and some grocery stores, has a â&#x20AC;&#x153;maltyâ&#x20AC;? taste that gives bagels their essential flavor. Lacking this, you can use honey, or even a light molasses. But once you try this syrup, you may find yourself slipping a spoonful into all sorts of recipes for a flavor that not only is sweet, but has some depth.

For the best-tasting bagels, as well as preparation ease, mix the dough in the evening,

MCT News Service

Homemade bagels are fun to make, and a few key ingredients provide a depth of flavor and chewiness that make these better than most you can buy. then let it slowly rise overnight in the refrigerator. This enables every smidgen of yeast to develop to its full flavor potential. In the morning, let the dough warm up on the counter for about an hour, then shape the bagels. While they rest, begin heating a large pot of water.

Briefly poaching the dough in simmering water is what makes a bagel a bagel, and not just a ring of bread. Stirring in some baking soda gives the crust a slight tang. After poaching a minute on each side, lift out the bagels with a slotted spoon, brush with egg white, add toppings

if you wish, then bake in a hot oven for about 20 minutes.

Let them cool for at least 30 minutes, then slice, slather and savor.

Now, a modest proposal: While perusing various bagel recipes, one popped up that called for finely ground black pepper. It was from Rose Levy Beranbaum, author of the various â&#x20AC;&#x153;biblesâ&#x20AC;? for cakes, bread and pies, and so no slouch in the baking department.

She, in turn, has said she was inspired by Julia Child, who used 1 to 2 teaspoons in her bagel recipe.

Yikes!

Still, we had to try it,

Bring out your inner cook

BY CARRIE GROBE KSB Hospital

I have noticed over the past few years that people are spending less time doing their own food preparation.

This led me to ponder the question, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we cooking as much as our parents and grandparents?â&#x20AC;? It might be because of the vast increase in restaurant and fast food establishments, the food companies growing an array of already-prepared meals ready for the table in minutes, and possibly the notion that more of us are working outside the home and have less kitchen time available.

Possibly, cooking is not a top priority as it has been in the past. Americans spend an average of only 27 minutes a day on food preparation. What is ironic is that Americans spend double that time watching cooking shows on television!

I really believe that all of us want to cook more. We just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know where to begin. If we truly want to improve the health of our country, we need to get back to cooking and focus on preparing real food and reducing our intake of convenient, processed foods. Here are some ideas for getting started.

Get Organized Before you can cook, you need to know what you have. Take a look at your pans, utensils and other cooking equipment. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need

CHOOSE GAFFEY FOR HOME CARE

fancy supplies, but you will need a couple good pans and skillets, a paring knife and a cutting board, for starters. Tackle your cupboards and pantry and remove any outdated food items. Make a list of ingredients such as soups, pasta, rice, etc. that you already have in the house.

Keep It Simple Start with a few simple dishes and work on perfecting those before moving forward. Some ideas are: baked or grilled chicken breast, brown rice, cooked frozen vegetables, an omelet made with mostly egg whites or egg substitute, low fat cheese and vegetables such as chopped onion, mushrooms, spinach and peppers, whole wheat pasta with spaghetti sauce, a side salad and cut up fruit.

although cowardice led to using barely a half teaspoon. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taste â&#x20AC;&#x153;pepper.â&#x20AC;?

You just taste â&#x20AC;&#x153;more flavor.â&#x20AC;? Granted, black pepper isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite seasoning, but trust us on this one: Just a bit added to this recipe makes a knockout bagel.

So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s optional â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but encouraged.

Sort of like making bagels in the first place.

Bagels Makes 12 2 c. lukewarm water 1 tbsp. barley malt syrup (see Note) 1 tbsp. honey

3 tsp. kosher salt 6 c. bread flour 2 tsp. instant yeast Scant ½ tsp. finely ground pepper, optional 1 tbsp. baking soda 1 egg white, beaten Toppings as desired Note: Barley malt syrup is found in food coops and some grocery stores. Instant yeast also is called bread machine yeast. If you choose to add the optional pepper, make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finely ground.

Directions: In a bowl, stir together 2 cups water, barley malt syrup, honey and salt. In a large bowl, stir together flour, yeast and, if desired, the pepper.

HURRY OFFER ENDS SOON!

If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook on low speed as you add the water mixture to the flour.

Mix until well-blended, about 3 minutes. If mixing by hand, use a sturdy spoon, or your hands, and mix for about 3 minutes. This is a fairly stiff dough.

Turn the dough out onto a counter and knead for several minutes until the dough is smooth and only slightly tacky. Round into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature for about an hour.

(For fresh bagels in the morning, place the dough in the refrigerator overnight. In the morning, let the dough warm up on the counter for about an hour before shaping.)

Turn the risen dough out into a lightly floured counter. Cut into 12 even pieces, then shape each piece into a ball by pulling the raw edges toward the center, pinching them closed, then firmly rolling the dough on a clean, unfloured surface using the cup of your hand.

To shape the bagels, poke a hole through the center of each ball, then use your fingers to gently pull and rotate the dough until you have a hole about 2 inches across. Make the hole larger than you think you should, because the dough will spring back and swell while poaching and baking.

Cover the shaped bagels with a cloth and let rise until a bit puffy, about 15 minutes.

Harn says campaigning â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;can waitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ADS

CONTINUED FROM A1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Returning unspent budget money to the degree the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office has the past 2 years is extraordinary â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a record in fact,â&#x20AC;? Harnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxpayers also needed to know actual spending has been slashed to near 2007 levels each of the past 3 years.â&#x20AC;?

The ads were paid for from the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s administrative tow fund, which Sauk Valley Media reported in December is a fund not listed in the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget. Harn uses that money at his discretion for Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department needs.

Sauk Valley Media also reported on the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credit card use, which included thousands of dollars in meals at local restaurants for â&#x20AC;&#x153;training,â&#x20AC;? personal purchases that were paid directly to the credit card company, and alterations to the credit card bills, which Harn defended as corrections.

The personal purchases and the lunchtime â&#x20AC;&#x153;trainingâ&#x20AC;? were stopped before Sauk Valley Mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reporting, Harn noted.

The alterations to bills also have stopped, he said, because they were done to remove charges the county was not supposed to pay.

Other uses for the tow fund include $700 for a tent at the Ogle County Fair, $22,947 for a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500, and $4,000 for Heartland Studios to manage the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page.

Radio advertisements also were paid for from the tow fund in October and November 2013.

On Jan. 20, Sauk Valley Media reported on the unspent money that had been returned to the general fund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We operate in the state of Illinois, where the people are overtaxed by a state and federal government that are in debt from overspending,â&#x20AC;? Harnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s email said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ogle County Board and the sheriff should be cheered not jeered by your newspaper and socalled watchdogs.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Your endless series of negative articles are political and cross the line, when the real picture should be superior performance. Sauk Valley [Media] reported nothing positive until our ad ran, coincidence?â&#x20AC;?

David Morrison is a policy adviser for the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform, a non-partisan public interest group that conducts research on the role of money in politics, among other issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nothing wrong with a public official explaining what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing and what their office is about,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the same time, a public officer shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use public dollars to supplement their campaign.â&#x20AC;?

In his email, Harn said the ad had nothing to do with the primary election, that he hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t started campaigning for re-election â&#x20AC;&#x201C; less than 2 months from the primary election â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think the ad could be viewed as part of his campaign. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ad is not political,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office business that the people should know about. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money being returned, not the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, which is how I look at it and why there is money to return in the first place.â&#x20AC;?

A test for the political nature of the ad, Morrison said, could be whether it touts the office or the person and whether the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department has published similar ads in previous years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when there were no elections.

The ad begins with: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheriff Michael Harn announced the largest return of unspent budgeted money by the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office in Ogle County history. A total of $766,000 was returned to the Ogle County general fund in December 2013. The returned funds broke the previous record also held

by Sheriff Harn, when $572,000 of unspent budget was returned in 2012.

Since Sheriff Harnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reorganization of the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, he has returned a total of $1,392,000 to the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general fund.â&#x20AC;?

The ad includes a chart of the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Depart-

mentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unspent money returned to the general fund from 2003 to 2013. Harn took office in December 2010.

The ad also includes several quotes from Harn talking about how the money has been saved and a quote from Ogle County Board member Don Griffin, who, according to the ad, worked with Harn to decide to repair a county roof rather than replace it, which saved the county about $200,000 in fiscal year 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the fact that we have a public official like Sheriff Harn, who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t treat a budget as something to be spent entirely,â&#x20AC;? Griffin said in the ad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Government needs to be responsible in spending hard-earned taxpayer money, not just in tough times, but all the time. Although big ticket savings get the most attention, the sheriff listens to each and every suggestion large or small from our team that may allow the county to save money, and he acts on many of them.â&#x20AC;?

In the ad, Harn says money has also been saved by reducing overtime and by deputies being used more effectively, which has reduced miles driven by 100,000 a year and saved on fuel and maintenance costs.

The ad includes the Ogle County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department logo, information about the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, and information about the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget decreasing from $6.6 million in 2009 to $5.9 in 2013.

The Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department has previously run ads, Harn said, to alert people to the departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page, wellness and safety checks for unattended property, consequences of holiday drinking and driving, and deer on roadways during mating season.

The more people who know what the sheriff is doing and what his duties are, the more effective the Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department can be with the community, Morrison said, adding that that type of dialogue often can start only from the elected official.

CHICAGO

Was Eliot Ness a hero or myth of Hollywood?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be [that dialogue],â&#x20AC;? Morrison said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can also totally be about self-importance.â&#x20AC;?

Harn said he had not been campaigning, which he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;can wait.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look at my campaign Facebook page and you will see the extent of my campaigning. There have been no ads,â&#x20AC;? Harn said in the email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people of Ogle County deserve a sheriff who works as their sheriff, not one who campaigns full time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe if we continue to work hard on the street by clearing burglaries at 72 percent here versus a national average of 12 percent [and] continue to be proactive as evidenced by an arrest rate up by 4 times since 2010, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be re-elected. I will actively campaign when we get closer to the election.â&#x20AC;?

A post about the returned money appeared on the Ogle County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Department Facebook page at 4:19 p.m. Jan. 14.

A post about the returned money, which was the first paragraph of the ad, appeared on Harnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-election Facebook page 22 minutes later.

Since Jan. 1, two other posts have showed up on the campaignâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Facebook page. The first, on Jan. 13, read: â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;?Everyone has been asking when the Harn signs are going up. Starting Wednesday â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Game On.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; If you would like a sign please message me with the location you want the sign. Thanks.â&#x20AC;?

Alderman says agent doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deserve credit CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In the pantheon of Chicago crime fighters, nobody has the worldwide reputation of Eliot Ness.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Prohibition agent who brought down Al Capone, the principled lawman in a city awash in corruption, the relentless investigator portrayed by actors Robert Stack and Kevin Costner and the legend who is said to have inspired comic-strip detective Dick Tracy.

Nearly six decades after his death, Ness is still so admired that Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; two U.S. senators want to name a federal building after him in Washington, D.C. But a Chicago alderman, citing a recent Capone biography, concludes that Ness had about as much to do with putting the gangster behind bars as Mrs. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cow had to do with starting the Great Chicago Fire in 1871, when the animal supposedly knocked over a lantern. And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trying to persuade the senators to drop the whole idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are literally FREE KITCHEN DESIGNS BY Jocelyn Lilly, Kitchen Design: 815-266-1354

hundreds of heroic law enforcement officials who would be deserving of the honor, but Eliot Ness is simply not one of them,â&#x20AC;? said Ed Burke, who hopes the senators will abandon the proposal much the way the council formally cleared Mrs. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Learyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cow in 1997 at Burkeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s urging.

Nessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career has always been imbued with a mix of fact and fiction. He did go after Capone, but his role was probably less heroic than many Americans imagine.

Ness, Burke said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a Hollywood myth,â&#x20AC;? and to honor him would be a disservice to others.

There are no signs the senators are considering backing down from a resolution to put Nessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name on the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives headquarters.

Capone â&#x20AC;&#x153;believed that every man had his price,â&#x20AC;? Sen. Dick Durbin said earlier this month in a statement with fellow Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk and Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio. But for Ness and his law-enforcement team known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Untouchables,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;no amount of money could buy their loyalty or sway their dedication to Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s safety.â&#x20AC;?

Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1Q results highlight need for new products SAN FRANCISCO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take more than brisk sales of the iPhone and iPad to convince investors that Apple still has the magic touch.

Wall Streetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nagging doubts about Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s further growth prospects were magnified late Monday with the release of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s results for a 3-month

period that encompassed the holiday shopping season.

Even though Apple sold more iPhones and iPads than in any previous quarter, the showing disappointed investors who were expecting even bigger things from the Cupertino, Calif., company.

The fiscal first-quarter numbers reinforced per-

ceptions that Apple is now mostly selling its mobile devices to repeat customers who are upgrading to the next generation in the product line, instead of reeling in new converts to its technology. A similar problem also appears to be looming for Samsung Electronics, which competes fiercely against the iPhone.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It looks like the high end of the smartphone market is becoming saturated,â&#x20AC;? said Gartner analyst Van Baker.

If that is true, Apple figures to be hard pressed to lift its stock back to where it stood at its peak price of more than $700 in September 2012. That was before investors began to fret about fierc-

er competition in mobile devices and Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lack of a breakthrough product since the iPad came out nearly 4 years ago.

Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management amplified those concerns with a revenue forecast of $43 billion for the current quarter ending in late March, falling about $3 billion below analystsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; predictions.

Sauk Valley’s Carlos Hendrix gets fouled by Black Hawk East’s Darren Weeks as he goes up for a layup Tuesday in Dixon. The Skyhawks won 86-79, to give Black Hawk East its first Arrowhead Conference loss.

Poise under pressure

Skyhawks snap skid after holding off furious rally

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 554

DIXON – Russ Damhoff didn’t see it, but he was impressed when he heard about the poise his team showed down the stretch.

Coming into their home game on a fivegame losing streak, Damhoff’s Sauk Valley Skyhawks snapped that skid – but, as in their recent slide, they made things interesting.

Sauk built leads of 21 points in the first half and 20 in the second, then withstood a frantic Black Hawk East rally for an 86-79 Arrowhead Conference win.

And, for the first time in his 28 seasons as a head coach, Damhoff didn’t get to see the finish. His second technical foul came with

Star of the game: Carlos Hendrix, Sauk, 21 points, 8 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals Key performers: Jeff Casseus, Sauk, 17 points, 8-for-9 FGs, 9 rebounds; Torrance Evans, BHE, 29 points, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 assists; Miles Nettles, BHE, 19 points, 2 assists Up next: Sauk Valley at Carl Sandburg, 7:30 p.m. Thursday 1:07 to play, and his team up 81-75. After yelling for nealy 20 seconds for a timeout, he was finally granted one by the official … and he showed his frustration – which had been building all game – by jumping a few steps into the crowd and shaking the sup-

port pole in the aisle.

“I was proud of how my guys responded, but not as much how I did,” said Damhoff, who now must miss Thursday’s game at Carl Sandburg. “I didn’t see the poise in the final minute, but I heard about it … and it sounded good.

“We played well at times, then at other times we didn’t take care of the basketball. But we needed a win, and we got one against a team that was 4-0 in conference coming in.”

Sauk (10-10, 2-3) played from ahead the whole game, taking a 7-5 lead on Jeff Casseus’ three-point play 2:15 into the game and never trailing again.

Beating Warriors at their own game Sauk Valley uses guard play to frustrate undersized opponents

BY PATRICK PETROSKY ppetrosky@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085 ext. 553

DIXON – The undersized, guard-heavy team from Black Hawk East paid a visit to a postheavy Sauk Valley team on Tuesday.

Spectacular guard play from the Skyhawks ended up leading the way to a 59-36 victory.

The guard duo of freshman Aleena Hammelman and sophomore Sheldeen Joseph wreaked havoc on top of Sauk Valley’s 1-2-2 zone. If they weren’t stealing the ball themselves, they were forcing bad passes or deflections that resulted in turnovers. They

Star of the game: Sheldeen Joseph, Sauk, 23 points, 8 steals, 7 rebounds Key performers: Kodi Hammer, Black Hawk East, 11 points; Aleena Hammelman, Sauk, 13 points, 7 rebounds, 6 steals combined for 14 of their team’s 18 steals.

“We were just in our zone defense,” Sauk coach Jed Johnson said, “and we did a good job of getting out and pressuring the ball to create some havoc. It got Alex T. Paschal/apaschal@saukvalley.com us some pretty easy baskets.”

Sauk Valley’s Jaimie Hurd fights for a rebound during Tuesday’s game against Black Hawk East in Dixon. Sauk won 59-36.

Michigan State outlasts Iowa in overtime, B3.

Missiles fall at home to Cards, B2.

HICAGO – It’s impossible to know precisely where the movement to unionize college athletes will go from here.

On Tuesday, it started in full force.

Perhaps future college athletes will pass by this place – Plaza Ballroom B at the Hyatt Regency, 151 East Wacker Drive – someday when they’re walking along the Chicago River. They won’t think to step inside, to appreciate the beige walls, or the floor-to-ceiling windows, or the carpet with its patterns of squares and ovals.

Yet this room has a good chance to become part of history.

Because the players’ movement to unionize, which followed Tuesday’s creation of the College Athletes Players Association, is only going to strengthen as more athletes from around the country step forward and embrace the cause.

It’s only going to gain momentum as groups such as the NFL Players Association add their support to a mission that already has the public, powerful, organized backing of the United Steelworkers.

It’s only going to harden with every story about a college football player who has to pay his own medical bills while his coach and athletic director stuff their pockets.

Victories will take time.

Setbacks are inevitable.

But, ultimately, the players will win.

What they will win, specifically, remains to be seen. It won’t necessarily be stipends or paychecks. It could be increased medical coverage, better scholarship protection, or reduced contact during practice as part of comprehensive concussion reform.

What the NCAA will lose, specifically, remains to be seen. It won’t necessarily be TV or licensing deals.

But there is a reason the powerful organization behind a multibilliondollar industry wants to fight to preserve the status quo.

When the players win, they’ll owe a huge debt of gratitude to Kain Colter, who, until a couple of months ago, was the starting quarterback on the Northwestern Wildcats.

Tiger Woods watches his approach shot on the second hole of the South Course at Torrey Pines on Saturday. Woods missed the 54-hole cut on a course that he has traditionally dominated.

It happens

BY DOUG FERGUSON !0 3PORTS 7RITER

SAN DIEGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Too bad Tiger Woods canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go back in time and expand that chart of Jack Nicklaus he taped to his bedroom wall as a teenager.

One point of clarification â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it was never about 18 majors.

Woods once said the chart contained only four or five items constructed in a timeline, such as when Nicklaus started playing, how long before he first broke 40 for nine holes, when he won his first U.S. Amateur, and when he turned pro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was just a benchmark for me growing up,â&#x20AC;? Woods said in Australia a few years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the greatest player of all time, and this is what he did when he was 13, 17, 18. As a junior, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re always trying to compare yourself to, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;When did he do it?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; And hopefully, I can do something a little bit better, and maybe that might springboard myself into having a good career.â&#x20AC;?

Here are two more items he could have added to the list: s 7OODS DIDN T SHOOT IN THE S for the first time until his 130th stroke-play tournament as a pro.

Nicklaus first shot 80 in his seventh tournament. In fact, Saturday at Torrey Pines was only the fifth round in Woodsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; career of 79 or worse. Nicklaus had four in his rookie season alone. s 7OODS WENT MAJORS AS A pro before he finally missed a cut, in the 2006 U.S. Open at Winged

Foot. Nicklaus missed his first cut in his sixth major, the 1963 U.S. Open at Brookline, when he was the defending champion.

Woods was at Oakmont for a corporate day a few months before the 2007 U.S. Open when the conversation turned to his missed cut at Winged Foot. The surprise was not that he missed the cut, but that it took nearly 10 years to happen.

Woods shrugged. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You figure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have one bad week,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to heed what he said Tuesday in Dubai. He was asked about any changes he made after a 79 at Torrey Pines caused him to miss the 54-hole cut last week in the Farmers Insurance Open.

The only thing he changed was his flight itinerary to Dubai. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not that far off,â&#x20AC;?

Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just happened to have one bad day, and that happens.â&#x20AC;?

It was surprising that it happened to him, especially at Torrey Pines, where he had won eight times. It was only his fourth round over par on the South Course for that tournament. Two of those rounds were in 2011, when he was just starting to rebuild his swing.

And he was in reasonable position in the tournament until his meltdown began with a shot into the pond on the par-5 18th for a double bogey.

Woods was between 3-iron and

5-wood, tried to take a little off the 5-wood, paid the price, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;it snowballed from there.â&#x20AC;? He had seven straight holes of bogey or worse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately,â&#x20AC;? he said Tuesday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the longer you play the sport, the more things like that happen.â&#x20AC;?

So maybe heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catching up on lost time.

Or maybe Father Time is catching up with him.

Johnny Miller, in a book he wrote in 2004 titled, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Call The Shots,â&#x20AC;? was making arguments on both sides of Woods breaking Nicklausâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; record of 18 majors.

One reason against Woods breaking the record was that â&#x20AC;&#x153;competitively, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old 28.â&#x20AC;?

Is he now an old 38?

Woods already has gone through four knee surgeries, including a reconstruct in 2008 after he won the U.S. Open (which happens to be the 14th and last major he won).

He was right to say Tuesday that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read anything into what happened Saturday at Torrey Pines.â&#x20AC;?

It was just one tournament.

One round.

Remember, last year Woods missed the cut in Abu Dhabi (with help from a two-shot penalty), and then annihilated the field at Torrey Pines the next week. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t finish the final round at Doral in 2012 because of soreness in his Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heel, and then won his next start at Bay Hill.

Opportunity lost Hawkeyes unable to put Spartans away

BY LUKE MEREDITH !0 3PORTS 7RITER

IOWA CITY, Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Michigan State had every reason to fold.

The seventh-ranked Spartans were coming off a draining loss to rival Michigan and again were down two starters to surging Iowa â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which was hosting its biggest game in years.

Michigan State responded with the toughness it has shown so often under coach Tom Izzo and emerged from Iowa City with a season-defining win.

Keith Appling scored 16 points, and the Spartans outlasted No. 15 Iowa 71-69 in overtime Tuesday night, handing the Hawkeyes their first home loss. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was concerned coming in whether we could get back up off the can.

Not physically, we were going to be beat up. I was worried about mentally,â&#x20AC;? said Izzo, whose team fell to the Wolverines 80-75 on Saturday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have time to be tired.â&#x20AC;?

Matt Costello had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Spartans (19-2, 8-1 Big Ten), who avoided consecutive defeats despite the absence of injured starters Adreian Payne and Branden Dawson.

But it took 5 extra minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and an Iowa shooting drought that lasted nearly 15 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to pull it off.

Costelloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip-in with 1:14 left gave Michigan State a 67-64 lead, and Russell Byrdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 3 with 34 seconds put Michigan State up by six.

Iowa still had a chance to force a second overtime, but Mike Gesell missed a driving layup at the buzzer.

Devyn Marble had 21 points for Iowa (16-5,

Star of the game: Keith Appling, Michigan State, 16 points Up next: Iowa at )LLINOIS P M Saturday 5-3), including a layup with 6 seconds left in overtime that snapped the Hawkeyesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; streak of 14:50 without a field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we were tough enough.

We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tough at all,â&#x20AC;? Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think they were being nice.â&#x20AC;?

The Hawkeyes boast one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deepest benches, and they kept threatening to run away from the undermanned Spartans early in the second half.

Michigan State wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let it happen.

The tough-minded Spartans had an answer for nearly every basket that could have swung

the momentum back in Iowaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favor.

Iowa led 57-51 with 5:58 left, and its crowd began to sense the win. But Appling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with his shooting wrist heavily taped â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hit a 3, and a layup and dunk by Costello made it 58-57 Spartans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have guys that want to win,â&#x20AC;? Appling said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like this win speaks volumes of the character of our team.

We have a lot of guys that are able to dig down and compete. And at the end of the day, I feel like thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what gave us the victory.â&#x20AC;?

The Hawkeyes had a chance to win in regulation, but Marble missed a runner just before the buzzer.

That was a theme that doomed the Hawkeyes.

Aaron White had 10 points for Iowa, which lost despite hitting 19 more free throws than Michigan State.

A third bid all should know

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Joni Mitchell said, “What I do is unusual: chordal movements that have never been used before, changing keys, and modalities mid-song.”

Her voice is not to everyone’s taste, but she has written some great lyrics; “The Circle Game” is my favorite.

Outside the tournament world, many players do not know the unusual response to make with the North hand in today’s diagram. After South opens one spade and West makes a takeout double, what should North do?

If West had passed, North would have bid three spades, a game-invitational limit raise.

But when righty doubles, now a jump raise is best played as pre-emptive, showing four-card spade support

and a weak hand. This, one hopes, will make life much harder for the fourth hand.

To invite game with four or more trumps, respond two no-trump. (This should be

called Truscott, after Alan the deviser, who lived in England at that time.

But it is often known as Jordan, after Bobby the advertiser of the idea in the United States.)

Note that any strong, balanced hand without four spades begins with redouble, promising 10 points or more.

Here, over two no-trump, East would pass and South would jump to four spades, keeping his club suit hidden.

West leads the heart king: four, 10, ace.

South will probably draw trumps ending in his hand and play a diamond to the jack. East wins and continues hearts. South ruffs the third round of that suit, leads a club to the queen, discards two clubs on the high diamonds, and concedes one club trick. © 2014 UFS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Upon further review, Kyle Larsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time at the Rolex 24 at Daytona wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the flop he thought it was when he first climbed out of the car.

Larson made his sports car debut last weekend driving the Chip Ganassi Racing â&#x20AC;&#x153;star carâ&#x20AC;? and was disappointed following his initial stint behind the wheel. He got a speeding penalty pulling off pit road, and the stop-and-go penalty put the car a lap down. He also flat-spotted the tires and struggled in traffic.

But the 21-year-old Larson got a second stint in the car that went much smoother, and he said Tuesday that conversations with team personnel made him understand he was being too hard on himself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a kid who never drove sports cars, never been to the race before, when he got out of the car after his first stint, he felt he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t aggressive enough,â&#x20AC;? said Ganassi team manager Max Jones. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, if he was aggressive, he would have torn the fenders off of it, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not what we need.â&#x20AC;?

Jones said Larson got

This was an eye-opener Sauk, which was forcing turnovers, but not cashing in on them. It forced Black Hawk into 17 first-

half turnovers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of was a wakeup call,â&#x20AC;? Joseph said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That made us think we were playing relaxed.

Normally teams like Black Hawk are not supposed to compete with us. We saw what was going on and expanded the lead.

We wanted to win, so we had to rise above them, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when we actu-

ally did.â&#x20AC;?

Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layup with 4 seconds remaining completed an 11-6 run by the Skyhawks to close the half, which gave them a 29-18 lead.

Out of the locker room, Joseph didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t slow down.

She scored eight of her 11 points in the first 6 minutes of the second half.

This helped Sauk grab a 39-26 lead with 14 minutes to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Coach Johnson] told me to get the ball inside and be patient,â&#x20AC;? Joseph said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I did.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;They did a great job on our posts,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They doubled our posts every time that we tried to get into something, Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s obviously our strength, and they did a good job taking it away. We started penetrating with our guards a little bit. Sheldeen and Hammelman did a pretty good job getting that done for us.â&#x20AC;?

Sauk Valley works ball to Casseus early POISE

CONTINUED FROM B1

The game plan early on was finding Casseus in the low post for a few possessions, then knocking down open shots or driving to the basket when the defense started to collapse on him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team loves playing inside-out, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we wanted to do tonight,â&#x20AC;? said Casseus, who was 8-for-9 from the floor with 17 points. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they started switching on our screens, and that made it easier for our guards to get to the basket or get open shots. We shot the ball really well, and that makes it easier to get in a good flow.â&#x20AC;?

Sauk shot 18-for-30 from the floor (60 percent) and 10-for-11 from the free-throw line for the first half, and a 10-minute stretch without a turnover in the first half keyed a 22-1 run.

That gave the Skyhawks a 37-16 lead with 6 minutes left before halftime, and their confidence was brimming over. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had to come out and play mad, because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when we play better,â&#x20AC;? point guard Carlos Hendrix said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been struggling to put away games, so we stressed coming out and starting fast, then just controlling the ball and keeping calm when they made their runs at us.â&#x20AC;?

The first was an 11-4 burst by the Warriors (11-10, 4-1) over the final 3 minutes of the first half, cutting the Sauk lead to 48-36 at the break.

Then, after Sauk opened the second half with a 14-6 run to build the lead back to 20 (6242) with 14 minutes to play, Black Hawk East went to work again.

Things started to unravel for the Skyhawks

Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com

Sauk Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Chris Stovall goes up for a layup over Black Hawk Eastâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carlton Carter Jr. on Tuesday night in the SVCC gym. The Skyhawks won 86-79. when Damhoff received his first technical, after it appeared the officials missed a 3-second call in the lane by the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Torrance Evans.

Evans not only made a bank shot on that possession, he then hit both free throws, then buried a 3-pointer on the next Black Hawk East possession.

That kick-started a 15-2 run that got the Warriors to within seven (64-57) with 10:46 to play. It was the closest theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been since the 10-minute mark of the first half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We finally picked up our defense a little, and got them out of rhythm on offense,â&#x20AC;? Black Hawk East coach Chance Jones said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they played with a lot of poise

tonight, and it seemed like every time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d get close, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d hit a shot or make some free throws. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We made some mistakes when we couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken over that game, and give Sauk credit, because they made us pay for them.â&#x20AC;?

A fast-break layup by Casseus and an aggressive drive to the bucket

by Chris Stovall gave the Skyhawks a 79-67 lead with 4:25 to go, and it seemed as if Sauk had restored order.

But the Warriors had one last surge in them.

Saeed Soulemandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coast-to-coast layup off a steal started the burst, and his two free throws with 1:53 brought Black Hawk East to within four (79-75) with 1:53 to go.

But Hendrix hit a teardrop floater on the baseline to stop the spurt, then he and Jacob Fisher combined to hit five of six free throws over the final 1:05 to seal the victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know teams are always going to make runs at us,â&#x20AC;? Fisher said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we just have to make sure we make ours when it really counts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ballâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always going to bounce our way, but we stuck together as a team tonight, even with Coach not there, and got things back under control in time for a big win.â&#x20AC;?

Hendrix finished with team highs of 21 points, eight assists and three steals for the Skyhawks, while Casseus added nine rebounds to his 17 points. Chris Fritsch had 13 points and five boards, Fisher finished with 10 points and six rebounds, and Stovall dished five assists and nabbed two steals to go with his four points.

David Newton, Tramel Rideout, and John Murphy scored six points each, with Murphy grabbing seven rebounds and blocking two shots, and Rideout pulling down six boards.

Sauk shot 32-for-60 from the field (53.3 percent) and 18-for-21 from the foul line (85.7 percent), and assisted on half of its made baskets.

That, in addition to a 49-26 rebounding edge, helped overcome 23 turnovers.

Evans led all scorers with 29 points, and he nabbed three steals for Black Hawk East. Miles Nettles added 19 points, Devonte Loggins finished with eight points and a team-high six rebounds, and Soulemand chipped in nine points, five rebounds, five steals and three blocks.

Flames extinguish Blackhawks in OT Raanta struggles mightily in net

BY COLLEEN KANE #HICAGO 4RIBUNE

CALGARY â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Antti Raantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to the site of his first NHL victory Tuesday night didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce the same fond memories.

The Blackhawks goaltender gave up four goals in the Flamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first 15 shots at the Saddledome through the first and second periods before being pulled in favor of Corey Crawford.

The Hawks werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a big help, but they still were able to stay even with the Flames through two periods before losing 5-4 in overtime.

Marian Hossa scored twice in the first two periods for the Hawks, and Patrick Kane and Ben Smith added goals.

Lance Bouma and Matt Stajan each had a goal for the Flames, and Mikael Backlund scored twice, including one shorthanded midway through the second period that prompted Raantaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s removal. Raanta earned his first NHL victory in

The Hawks were looking for a refresher in the first game of a six-game western swing, and two players who also were looking for a new opportunity were forwards Bryan Bickell and Brandon Pirri.

Both returned to the lineup after absences.

Bickell figured that Hawks coach Joel Quenneville wanted to make him a little angry Sunday when Bickell was benched against the Jets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was frustrating, but as my game has been going, I feel like I more deserved to sit out,â&#x20AC;? Bickell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wants to get me angry and mad on the ice, and bring my physical game to get me more in the game.â&#x20AC;?

NOTICE OF INTENT TO REQUEST RELEASE OF FUNDS

11-055759 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 15TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT LEE COUNTY, DIXON, ILLINOIS

January 27, 2014 William B. Wescott, Mayor The City of Rock Falls 603 W. 10th Street Rock Falls, IL 61071-2854 815-622-1100 On or about February 10, 2014 the City of Rock Falls will submit a request to the Illinois Housing Development Authority (the "Authority") to authorize the release of HOME Program funds under Title II HOME Investment Partnerships Act of the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990, as amended, to undertake a project known as the City of Rock Falls Single Family Owner Occupied Rehabilitation - HO-50840. $250,000.00 has been set aside for this project for the purpose of lending funds to qualified low income, single-family households for rehabilitation and program related administrative expenses in the City of Rock Falls, Whiteside County, Illinois.

The activities proposed ARE CATEGORICALLY EXCLUDED UNDER HUD REGULATIONS AT 24 CFR PART 58 FROM NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT REQUIREMENTS. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) that documents the environmental determinations for this project is on file at the City of Rock Falls, 603 W 10th Street, Rock Falls, IL and may be examined or copied weekdays from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. CONDITIONS The current Environmental Review Record represents the first of a two-tiered review. The Environmental Review identifies which statutes will be reviewed and what steps taken to complete the review for each specific site.

PUBLIC COMMENTS Any individual, group, or agency may submit written comments on the ERR to the City of Rock Falls. All comments received

by February 10, 2014 will be considered by the City of Rock Falls prior to submission of a request for release of funds to the Illinois Housing Development Authority.

RELEASE OF FUNDS The City of Rock Falls certifies to IHDA that William B. Wescott in his capacity as Mayor consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. IHDA's acceptance of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and allows the Illinois Housing Development Authority and the City of Rock Falls to use Program funds.

OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS The Authority will accept objections to its release of funds to the City of Rock Falls for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of the City of Rock Falls; (b) the City of Rock Falls has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58; (c) the grant recipient has incurred costs not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by the Illinois Housing Development Authority; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedures (24 CFR Part 58) and shall be addressed to the Illinois Housing Development Authority at 401 N. Michigan Avenue, Suite 700 Chicago, IL 60611. Potential objectors should contact the Authority to verify the actual last day of the objection period.

Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Take time out to relax and enjoy life. You need to come to terms with the changes that are happening around you. You should think about improving your technical abilities so that you can better adapt to the new hightech world in which you live.

The more you can acknowledge whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening now, the better off youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in the future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Avoid having secret affairs or getting sucked in to dealing with other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s problems.

You should work quietly tucked away somewhere -- preferably in the privacy of your home.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Co-workers may be unusually challenging to deal with today.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be naive. Someone youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never suspect may be after your job or just trying to get you out of the way.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Travel or educational pursuits will foster romantic opportunities.

You will be in the mood to get out and socialize with friends.

Mental stimulation will be important to you at this time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -Minor health problems will arise if you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t taken the necessary precautions. Do not get involved

in joint financial endeavors, and avoid lending money to friends or relatives.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Travel and romance will go together perfectly. You will enjoy unfamiliar destinations that will further amplify the sentimental mood that is overtaking you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Take full advantage of any business opportunities that are available to you. You can make professional changes now if you so desire. Your winning attitude will vastly improve your chances for advancement.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Romantic opportunities will develop if you attend a social event. You stand to gain financially by participating in a group venture. Time spent in the company of children will be fulfilling.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- New love connections will develop through friends or relatives. Completing a home decorating project that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been dreaming about will yield wonderful results.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Special relationships will evolve through pleasure trips or

participating in sports activities.

You will feel passionate and be quite capable of using your charm to get whatever you may want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Your innovative moneymaking ideas may well pay off. You will approach your pursuits with creativity. Refrain from going overboard spending on your lover. Instead, wisely invest your money into your own business.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You may be confounded by the state of your finances all of a sudden. Avoid spending money on any unnecessary items.

Unanticipated bills may crop up and surprise you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Self-deception may cause problems for you. Reflect carefully on a situation that you may be misjudging. Onesided romantic infatuations are evident.
