SERVING DIXON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1851

DIXON | KREIDER SERVICES

Pooling pediatric resources New center to bring behavioral experts to a single location

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529

DIXON – A grant will allow Kreider Services to open a facility aimed at making specialized

pediatric services easily accessible for Sauk Valley families.

The Pediatric Developmental Center could be open by the end of 2014 or early 2015, said Kreider’s Greg Gates, who wrote the grant that was submitted to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in December.

Kreider was told on April 24 that it was awarded the implementa-

tion grant, which will amount to $900,000 over 3 years – $300,000 a year – to complete what it started with a rural health planning grant from 2012, Gates said.

The planning grant was for about $65,000, said Laura Watters, Kreider’s director of autism and day services, adding that there were some matching funds from Kreider involved with that grant.

The center’s goal is to “make specialized pediatric services more accessible and decrease the time for children to receive accurate diagnosis and treatment,” according to a Kreider news release.

The Pediatric Developmental Center will serve children 18 and younger living in Lee, Ogle, Carroll and Whiteside counties, the release said,

“who exhibit developmental, emotional, social or behavioral concerns.”

The idea for a center like this, where specialists in a variety of fields are all in one building, began to take shape in January 2008, Watters said, when Kreider was doing screenings for autism.

ROCK ISLAND – On June 28, 2008, Matt Johnson was spending the night at his girlfriend’s apartment. His son was there, too.

They were going to have a movie night.

Follow on Twitter Sauk Valley Media reporter Christi Warren (@SeaWarren) is tweeting live updates from the courtroom.

Their neighbors, Brock Branson, Kilynna Blake, and her 2-year-old son, Dayan, had the same idea, and around 9 p.m., they came over to his girlfriend’s apartment to check out their movie collection. Finding noth-

ing they wanted to borrow, they soon left.

Matt’s girlfriend at the time, Chasity Gibbons, was friends with Kilynna.

The two would check in on each other; their children would play together. In fact, Chasity had already seen Kilynna a number of times that day before she dropped in that night to borrow a movie.

MORRISON – If you’re looking to work at the yet-to-open federal prison in Thomson, you’re welcome in Morrison, officials say.

In fact, one of the menu options on the city’s website is for Bureau of Prisons employees, where the city touts the local school system, Mayor hospital, parks Everett Pannier and historic homes.

“For a personalized tour of our city, please contact our friendly staff at City Hall. ...

Mayor Everett Pannier will be happy to escort you throughout our beautiful, historic city,” the website’s text reads.

The city posted that section to its website only a couple of weeks ago. At this early stage, Pannier has yet to get any takers.

He picked up the certificate of occupancy around 10 a.m., and by 10:30, customers were being served, Arellano said. Normally, the restaurant will open at 11 a.m., but Tuesday, business began as soon as bread was ready.

“I’m really excited,” Arellano said. “It’s been a year process, maybe over a year. ... We’re really happy with the location, and the crew is certainly chomping at the bit to get going, too.”

OGLE COUNTY

Board approves tow fund examination Should fraud be found, cost would spike regular annual audits.

The fee for the initial investigation is $7,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses. If fraud is uncovered during the audit, the cost will increase to as much as $300 per hour for the investigators’ services.

In their contract with the county, Sikich officials specified that the procedure should be called a forensic “examination,� rather than a forensic “audit.�

Sheriff Michael Harn

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawmedia.com 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

It’s official: The Ogle County Sheriff’s tow fund will get a full forensic examination.

By a unanimous vote Tuesday, the County Board approved engaging the forensic services of Sikich LLP, of Naperville, to examine tow fund expenditures and revenues since it was implemented in 2011.

Sikich is the same firm that does the county’s

came under fire in the last several months over expenditures from the tow fund, which included purchasing a new vehicle, flowers for Secretary’s Day, a tent at the county fair, and $4,000 for the department’s Facebook page to be managed.

Last January, Board member Richard Petrizzo made a motion for a forensic examination of the tow fund, as well as the sheriff’s credit card expenditures.

However, Board Chair-

man Kim Gouker said the matter could not be voted on then, because it was Board n o t Chairman on the Kim Gouker agenda.

Petrizzo’s subsequent efforts to have the matter placed on the agenda were unsuccessful.

In February, the board diminished the sheriff’s control over the tow fund

by limiting how it could be spent and requiring the approval of expenditures by the county committee that oversees the sheriff’s budget.

Gouker called for a forensic examination of the tow fund at the April 15 meeting.

At that same meeting, the county board approved a resolution establishing the tow fund.

Gouker said that although the board approved implementing administrative tow fees in 2011, the ordinance governing that did not actually establish the tow fund.

The new resolution mandated that tow fund deposits are limited to only administrative fees collected when a vehicle is towed, impounded, or seized during a criminal investigation.

It further requires that the tow fund be handled by the Ogle County treasurer’s office, rather than the sheriff, as in the past.

Treasurer John Coffman said the tow fund was turned over to his office April 15 when he received a check for $51,932.07 from the sheriff’s department.

Issue delays construction at highway department building

Council OKs annexation of campground property

County won’t have to pay for concrete

Crystal Lake owner’s plans pick up steam

he said. “They exceeded that.�

The concrete came from the Super Mix plant in Belvidere. The company also has a plant near Monroe Center.

It was poured by Preferred Concrete, Freeport.

Although the concrete is structurally sound, Cook said, it still did not meet the requirements of the contract.

He said he has been working with officials from Cord Construction to resolve the issues. “I’m very pleased with the cooperation we got from Cord Construction. From Day 1, they acknowledged the problem and required the sub-contractors to remedy the situation,� he said. “As difficult as the process has been, they made it much better than it could have been.�

As result, the county will not have to pay for the concrete in the walls – estimated at $10,000.

The walls will be sealed for extra weather-proofing at no cost to the county, and the 1-year warranty on the concrete has been extended to 5 years.

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawmedia.com 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

OREGON – After several weeks of waiting, Ogle County Engineer Curtis Cook could breathe a sigh of relief Monday afternoon.

He finally found out construction can resume on a new storage building at the highway department headquarters at 1989 S. Route 2.

Construction on the 90-by-150-foot building has been delayed about a month, Cook said Tuesday, because the concrete in the walls did not meet the strength requirements specified in the contract.

In accordance with building standards, the highway department’s contract with Cord Construction, Rockford, requires that concrete must be tested for strength 7 days after it’s poured, and again at 28 days.

The concrete in the building’s walls, however, did not meet the requirements at the first test. “It’s in our contract that it needed to meet at the 75 percent level after 7 days,� Cook said. “It wasn’t there.�

The 28-day test done Monday, however, produced better results. “Structurally, the concrete met the strength requirements of the contract,� Cook said.

Had the concrete failed the 28-day tests, it would have meant tearing out the walls – and probably the footings and underlying pipes.

The tests determined that the concrete was mixed with too high a percentage of water, Cook said. “The contract spelled out the ratio of water,�

ROCK FALLS – The City Council on Tuesday approved the annexation of property just east of the city limits that is being developed for use as a campground and RV park.

Local businessman Brent Porter wants to build the seasonal campground at 600 E. 17th St., just behind Crystal Lake, his swimming and gocart facility.

About 17.44 acres for the project will be annexed into the city so the campground can hook up to city water, electric and sewer services.

City Building Inspector Mark Searing said he plans to meet with Porter to discuss what’s next with the three-phase project. “The zoning is all ready, and now we’ve got him annexed in, so I will meet with him soon, just to make sure we’re on the same page,� Searing said. “I know he’s rough-cut the roads in, but that’s about all he’s done so far.�

The city has 46 machines, and will receive $57,880.41 from the recently closed fiscal year. “I wanted to wait for the end of the fiscal year,� Blackert said. “It appears that it’s leveling out somewhat, but we do have some new machines coming in.�

The council approved a raise for the city administrator after an executive session. Blackert’s salary will increase from $65,000 to $68,250 for the next fiscal year.

The big question now is whether the building will be completed by the June 30 deadline set by the contract. “I think it will be delayed, but we’re not sure how much yet,�

Cook said.

The timing is crucial, because work to rebuild and pave the parking lot is slated to begin July 7.

Cook said Cord officials will provide an updated construction schedule this week.

According to the terms of the contract, the contractor would be subject to damages of $1,025 a day after June 30.

Once completed, the $700,000 steel building will be used to store road graders and other heavy equipment, some of which currently sits outside.

The parking lot work will cost an estimated $278,000 and will be done by Martin and Co. The money to pay for the building will come from the county’s long range planning fund.

Revenues in that fund come from the host fees paid by garbage collection firms to dump refuse in the landfills within the county.

Traffic at the intersec-

Vehicles on U.S. 52 are not required to stop.

The semi, which was loaded with sand, came to rest on its side about 150 to 200 feet west of the intersection, partially in a field. The crash occurred around 1:30 p.m.

Morgan and his wife, Deloras Morgan, 84, Rockton, a front seat passenger in his car, and Pottenbaum were taken to the hospital by Polo and Mount Morris ambulances.

All were wearing seat belts, and the car’s air bags deployed.

The Polo Police Department and Polo Fire Department assisted at the scene.

Morgan was charged with failure to stop or yield at an intersection.

Ad hoc group formed in city MAYOR

CONTINUED FROM A1

Towns around the area are competing for the attention of the 1,100 people who are expected to work at the prison.

In Morrison, which is 18 miles from Thomson, an ad hoc group has formed to prepare for the prison workers who might be interested in moving to Morrison.

The group involves the city, the chamber of commerce, the economic development corporation and other entities. “We want to make sure we’re not going in different directions,� Pannier said. “We want a united front.�

The ad hoc group, the mayor said, aims to help businesses benefit from the prison. “We want to make sure we are providing information to any of our businesses, so that they can be on the [prison’s] approved contractor list,� Pannier said. “The bureau will only do business with those on the approved list. There’s a little process to get on that list.�

One of the community’s concerns is housing availability, Pannier said. Officials expect many prison employees to rent at first. So the ad hoc group wants to alert landlords to fix up their properties to be ready for prison employees.

‘‘

Employees at federal prisons like to live 15 to 25 minutes away from their facilities. That puts Morrison right in the zone.

’’

Bob Vaughn, owner of Donnybrook Bakery & Cafe

Bakery & Cafe, said Morrison doesn’t have a lot of rental space and new homes. “Employees at federal prisons like to live 15 to 25 minutes away from their facilities,� Vaughn said. “That puts Morrison right in the zone. I would think that Morrison is positioned pretty well to at least get a look from those who want to move into the area.�

He praised City Hall for looking ahead. “I’m really proud of what they are doing,�

Vaughn said. “There’s a little bit of an uptick, more of a sense of optimism.�

The Bureau of Prisons says it will open the prison once Congress approves its spending plan.

More than a dozen years ago, the state built the 1,600-cell maximum-security prison in Thomson, but couldn’t afford to run it.

The federal government bought it in 2012.

Its economic impact of the Carroll County prison is expected to extend into Whiteside, Lee and Ogle counties.

Location not yet chosen for center PEDIATRIC

CONTINUED FROM A1

Only a third of the children referred to Kreider were diagnosed with autism, she said, adding that the high number of non-autistic children referred indicated that there was a shortage of specialists.

Making matters more frustrating for families is that available specialists weren’t centralized, Watters said, something that the center will address.

Instead of parents being referred to a specialist in a different city and building, Watters said, after the center is up and running, parents could be referred to a specialist on a different floor.

Gates said to his knowledge, Kreider was the only one to submit a grant application with a behavioral health focus, and that he thought the

Pediatric Developmental Center could serve as a regional hub. “The impact that it could have is pretty significant in the long run,� he said, adding that if Kreider’s center succeeds it could inspire other similar centers in other rural areas.

Strengthening Kreider’s application, Gates said, was that it’s partnering with KSB Hospital, Sinnissippi Centers and other local groups.

No location for the center has been chosen, Watters said. It likely will be in Dixon, since Kreider’s main focus is Lee and Ogle counties.

There will be a physician training component to the center as well, she said.

A staffing level hasn’t been determined, Watters said, and after the center gets running, Kreider might consider expanding, if necessary or possible.

Call 815-623-3928 for delivery, but bear in mind that drivers will only cover about 20 percent of Sterling. Arellano said they’ll deliver to downtown Sterling and as far north as CGH Medical Center and Sterling High School.

The national company is expanding “pretty fast,� Arellano said as cars quickly filled the small parking

lot at lunch time, and vehicles began to stack up near the drive-thru window.

The company was very specific with the blueprints – how the store would look and feel to customers, said Arellano, who also owns a Jimmy John’s location in Dixon. “The architects were a little overloaded, which caused a delay on that end,â€? Arellano said. “Dixon and Rock Falls were very easy to work with. ‌ They told us up front what we needed, and I was able to plan around that. “We’re ready to rock.â€?

Credit union to build in fire-ravaged downtown Mayor: ‘We’ve come a long way’ since July 15 fire

Construction is expected to start this summer and finish late this year or early 2015.

The city started taking control of all the lots shortly after the fire, and currently controls all but one.

The lots are being donated to developers as a way to entice them to build.

A ground-breaking ceremony will be held on

July 15, during the town’s 1-year fire anniversary memorial. No official plans have been set for the memorial activies.

The new bank was designed with the aesthetics of the historical downtown in mind, Ernzen said.

The architect took photographs of the downtown and tried to incorporate the feel into the modern elements that will come along with a new building.

Eileen Detra, executive director of Prophetstown Main Street, said she’s seen sketches of the proposed design and thinks the facade and the color will fit well with the rest downtown.

The bank will be a “nice asset� for the town and the downtown, she said. “The amazing thing is what is happening in downtown, and it hasn’t even been a year,� Detra said. “We’re hoping to get a restaurant, and we’re hoping to get Cindy Jean’s [Restaurant]. ... We have to sit back and wait.�

The July 15 fire was started by two half-brothers in a recycling bin

behind Cindy Jean’s Restaurant. It then spread to other buildings.

The boys pleaded guilty to charges, and each was sentenced to 5 years of probation.

In January, Cindy Eriks, who owns Cindy Jean’s, said she wanted to rebuild and return to downtown Prophetstown with an even bigger restaurant, but what she does will depend on her health.

Swanson said he’s had discussions with another developer but doesn’t feel it’s too promising.

But the mayor also said that he wasn’t too optimistic when he started talks with IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union. “I kind of get almost emotional at times,� he said. “We’ve come a long way [as a town].�

PROPHETSTOWN – IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union will be the first to build in the part of downtown Prophetstown where eight buildings were destroyed by fire in July 2013.

The bank already has a location in downtown Prophetstown, just south of where buildings were destroyed, and has been in the community for more than 10 years, said Dennis Hall, the company’s president. “When we learned of the devastating fire on Main Street, we were committed to helping the recovery efforts,� Hall said in a news release.

Laura Ernzen, vice president of marketing, said talks with the city about putting a building there

started a few weeks after the fire.

Prophetstown Mayor Steve Swanson said both the city and the bank came together for the early discussions, but it wasn’t until “3 or 4 weeks ago� that he knew it would happen for sure. “For me, it’s a lot of hard work that has paid off – a lot of hard work,� he said. “For the city, you know, you go to a lot of towns that don’t even have a bank anymore ... let alone a new one. Everybody should be tickled to death. And I think 99.9 percent are.�

Still, some Prophetstown residents are unhappy that a bank is the first to announce that it’s buildling, Swanson said. Even if the city said it was building a money tree, he said, some people would disagree about what type of bills it should grow.

The new bank, which will be located in at least three lots on the south end, will be between 1,500 and 2,000 square feet, according to the

The first is Ethan Waters. He is a 23-yearold graduate of Rock Falls High School, he lives in Dixon, and he was diagnosed with a rare form of liver cancer.

Waters was featured in a story in Saturday’s paper. He is mighty young to have to be dealing with cholangiocarcinoma. He undergoes chemotherapy every Thursday in an aggressive regimen to attack tumors that are considered too large for surgeons to remove.

The chemo sessions leave him weak for several days. Fatigue, flulike symptoms, shivers and nausea have become the norm for Waters, although he is pleased that his hair has not fallen out.

Waters has been able to return to work on a limited basis at the Goodwill store in Sterling. A page has been set up on

SPRINGFIELD – The state finally filed its response last week to the five pension-reform lawsuits.

It essentially raised the arguments most thought it would. The pension debt is so severe that the pressures it puts on the state’s efforts to meet its other obligations justifies the reforms.

Opponents of the reform law have argued that pension benefits represent a contract between the state and public employees and thus cannot be changed. The response from the state, though, says the extraordinary nature of the problem allows the state to modify those contracts, including those established under the pension-protection clause of the Illinois Constitution.

At least, it appears that way. The pension-protection provisions are under Article XIII of the state Constitution. The state’s response makes reference to Article XII, which deals with the militia.

'IDDY FOR NOW Some folks were absolutely giddy that a Sangamon County judge put a hold on the pensionreform law until the lawsuits challenging it are resolved. Apparently they view this as an omen that the law will be struck down as unconstitutional.

Maybe it will turn out that way, but not necessarily. Recall the law that allowed the state to begin charging state retirees premiums for their statesubsidized health insurance. That law also was challenged in court.

As part of the lawsuits, the plaintiffs asked a judge to postpone implementation of the law until the legal challenges were resolved, just as the plaintiffs did in the pension lawsuit. Alternatively, they asked that the premiums be held in escrow so they could be quickly refunded if the law was struck down.

A judge agreed to the escrow idea, giving the plaintiffs an early victory.

After the cases were fully argued, though, the judge sided with the state and said the premiums were allowed. So much for the early victory.

The case is awaiting a decision from the state Supreme Court.

It turns out that a rumor they had heard was true.

The state planes had been used to fly prairie chickens from Kansas to Illinois as part of a repopulation effort.

"ETTER TO CASH IN ON /BAMA Lawmakers are pondering a bill that allows the state to donate furniture and other stuff, used by President Barack Obama when he was a state senator, to his presidential library when it is built.

The bill is sponsored by Senate President John Cullerton, D-Chicago, who has a chair in his office that was used by Obama.

When presenting the bill in a committee last week, Cullerton noted that Obama’s seat would be donated, not sold. “Someone tried that, and it didn’t work out so well for him,� Cullerton said, a reference to ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Frankly, the state ought to sell the furniture to the library rather than give it away. If the state is willing to front the library $100 million for construction costs, selling the furnishings would be one way to recover some of the outlay.

Plus, Illinois has the one and only Obama collection of state Senate office furnishings, so why not cash in on it?

ILLINOIS

Some Democrats defy leaders on tax rises Less than 2 weeks left to OK budget SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Some Illinois Democratic lawmakers reluctant to vote to make tax increases permanent are splitting with party leaders and calling for alternative approaches such as gradually reducing income tax rates or finding spending cuts to help balance the budget.

But Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan are unwilling so far to look at those options, despite being what Madigan described as “significantly� short of the

number of votes needed for approval of the tax increases in the House.

The intraparty disagreement is playing out with less than 2 weeks to go in the spring legislative session, and with lawmakers still needing to approve a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.

That is frustrating several lawmakers – including some who are fighting to hold on to their seats in November – who expressed their concerns during an at-times contentious meeting with Quinn on Monday, and again on Tuesday. “We all asked the governor yesterday ‘Do you have a Plan B? Because this isn’t

working,’� Rep. Deb Conroy, a Villa Park Democrat, said Tuesday. “And so far he says no. So that’s kind of where we’re at.�

Conroy describes herself as a solid “no� to keeping current income tax increases in place, but said she’s “waiting to see what they’re going to come up with.�

Democrats in 2011 voted to increase the income tax rate for individuals from 3 percent to 5 percent. The rate is currently scheduled to drop to 3.75 percent for individuals in January.

The rate for corporations would drop from 7 percent to 5.25 percent. That would reduce state rev-

enue next year by an estimated $1.8 billion.

Quinn, who’s in the midst of a tough reelection campaign, has said the drop in revenue would prompt massive cuts to areas such as education and social services. He’s pushing for a $38 billion budget that would increase funding for education and other areas but relies on lawmakers making the tax increase permanent.

Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie of Chicago, the House’s second-ranking Democrat and sponsor of the tax increase legislation, said there have been discussions about gradually rolling back the rate

from 5 percent, but said she thinks it is the wrong approach because the state needs the revenue from a full 5 percent rate.

State Sen. Dan Kotowski, a Park Ridge Democrat and Senate appropriator, said lawmakers also need to look at other areas of revenue. “I think there’s support here to invest in areas of the state budget that need it the most,� he said.

The measure to make the tax increases permanent is expected to barely pass the Senate, where Democrats have a supermajority.

But Madigan said Monday that Democrats in his chamber, also holding a supermajority of seats,

were still “significantly short� of the 60 votes he needs. All Republicans oppose the measure.

State Rep. Jerry Costello, a Smithton Democrat who opposes the increase, said he’s advocating for “going through the budget line by line to prioritize spending.� “I’d like to see [other] proposals, and that’s what I told the governor and our caucus yesterday,� Costello said.

Like Quinn, Madigan has seemed resistant to the idea of a “Plan B.� “We’re going to find those 60 votes,� Madigan said Monday, noting the House was “just supporting the governor’s plan.�

Defense: Why didn’t anyone ever call police?

The night went on. Chasity, Matt, and his son watched a movie or two, Chasity and Matt’s son eventually falling asleep while Matt stayed up.

During his testimony Tuesday morning at Nicholas Sheley’s third Illinois murder trial, Matt testified that about 11 p.m., he heard something: some rustling coming from the porch of Brock and Kilynna’s apartment. He said that later that night, he heard a blood-curdling scream and a series of thumps.

The scream was that of a woman. It was Kilynna, both Matt and Chasity testified. She was saying, “Oh God, don’t!� – and then a pause – “Stop!�

Then more thumps and silence.

Chasity and Matt’s son woke with a start to the sounds.

Anxious, they looked through the peephole in Chasity’s front door.

They saw nothing, and so Chasity walked into the hallway that the two apartments shared and knocked on the door to apartment 5. No reply.

She called out to them, asking if everything was OK. Still nothing.

Nancy Andrews, who lived directly below apartment 5, testified Tuesday about the thuds and Kilynna’s voice, too. Once the thuds stopped, she remembers hearing the sound of someone scraping a chair across her upstairs neighbors’ porch, and then the flick of a lighter.

Chasity sent a text to Brock’s phone that night, she said. She was concerned. He never texted back.

That concern lasted well into the morning when her brother, Chad Behn, and his girlfriend, Vicki Goss, came over. Chad, too, went to check on the apartment’s occupants, he testified Tuesday. Still no answer.

When asked by defense attorney Jeremy Karlin why no one ever called the police, he replied they thought it was a domestic dispute. Chasity’s answer was much the same.

Plus, she said, she didn’t want to seem like a “nosy neighbor.�

Two days later, the bodies of the apartment’s four occupants were found: Brock, 29; Kilynna, 20; Dayan, 2; and Kenneth Ulve, 25 – all brutally beaten to death.

An autopsy would later show their wounds were caused by a hammer.

Twelve witnesses in total testified Tuesday.

Their stories, in conjunction with the one told by Brock’s parents on Monday, laid out the narrative

Two state police crime scene investigators tried to fill in the gaps in the narrative that no one other than the victims and their attacker could possibly know.

Two cigarette butts found at the base of the bed in Brock, Kilynna, and Dayan’s bedroom; blood-spattered walls and stained carpeting.

Crime scene investigator Bethe Hughes explained a 7-minute video tour of the residence, and then highly graphic still photographs of the victims’ bloody bodies as investigators found them: Kenneth, in his room, his body slumped in a chair; Kilynna, lying partially on her side in a hallway; Brock,

facedown not too far from her, his arms entangled in a broom; Kilynna’s son, Dayan, just around the corner, dressed in camouflage pajamas – first a photo of him with his face covered by a blue-andwhite blanket, and then a much more gruesome image of him uncovered.

Brock’s parents, Connie and Dallas, left the room before the presentation began.

The silence in the courtroom during the slideshow was palpable; the air, thick and hot from a long day of questioning and a completely packed courtroom.

Through all of it, Sheley never looked at the screen to his left, instead staring straight ahead, rocking in his chair and occasion-

ally clenching his jaw and rubbing his forehead.

He is charged with 15 counts of first-degree murder in the the four Rock Falls deaths, and is already serving two life sentences for the murders of Russell Reed, 93, of Sterling, and Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg, who prosecutors say he killed during a weeklong, drug-and-alcohol-fueled killing spree during the summer of 2008.

Sheley is also charged in the deaths of Arkansas couple Jill and Tom Estes, both 54, who were killed on June 29 in a hotel parking lot in Festus, Missouri.

After this trial is completed, Sheley will head to court there, where he could face the death penalty.

Childhood sexual abuse still haunts survivor Dear Abby: After years of carrying this guilt, I want to tell my story. It may help others.

When my grandfather tried to rape me, it was at night when everyone was asleep. I stopped him as much as a 10-year-old could. The next day he wrote me a letter saying he was sorry for what he did. It read, “If your dad finds out, it will KILL HIM.” Strong words for a 10-year-old, so I buried the letter in the back yard.

He never touched me again.

Five years after that, Grandpa was arrested for molesting my younger brothers. As a young girl, I didn’t know men molested boys. I found out after

them uncomfortable.

My dad felt guilty for the rest of his life for what happened to us because he had let this monster back into his life. If this saves one person from the shame and guilt I have carried, it will have been worth it.

– Wish I Had Told in Florida

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

my grandfather went to prison that he had also molested my dad and his sister when they were children.

Please warn parents to educate their children.

Tell them that even someone they love does not have the right to touch them in a way that makes

Dear Wish I Had Told: I agree with you about the importance of parents teaching children the difference between an appropriate touch and one that isn’t, and how to set boundaries. If those boundaries are violated, children should be instructed to immediately tell an

adult. If it’s not a parent, then tell a teacher, counselor or school nurse, all of whom are mandated reporters.

Children should also tell if a friend confides it has happened to him or her, because secrets like this are harmful not only to the victim, but also to any children in the vicinity who might also be at risk.

It may assuage your guilt to know that molesters often blackmail their victim into silence. I heard recently from a woman who said her father told her when she was a child that if she revealed what he was doing, he would kill himself. (It wasn’t until many years later

that she finally realized if he had, he would have been doing everyone, including her sister, a favor.)

he’s an awesome guy.

– In A Hairy Situation in Arizona

Dear Abby: I am 26 and have been dating this guy I really like for 3 months.

He is great.

My biggest setback is his body hair. He honestly has more body hair than I have ever seen. This has kept me from being physically attracted to him.

I think everything is moving in the right direction, but I don’t know what to do about this issue. Should I love him how he is, or ask him to get rid of it? I don’t want him to feel self-conscious, because

Dear In A Harry Situation: This is a sensitive subject, one that should be approached with as much diplomacy as you can muster. Because he seems to have everything else going for him, but the body hair is a turn-off, do talk to him about it.

Fortunately, over the past few years, men have become more open to removing excessive body hair – or at least cutting it back so it’s not so overwhelming. (This is called “manscaping.”) There are also the options of waxing or laser treatments, if he is willing.

Delicate cookies difficult to master

BY HEATHER SCHROERING MCT News Service

S

urely, all home chefs have experienced a kitchen catastrophe so great they will likely never revisit the recipe, in fear of evoking those jarring feelings of defeat.

For me, that dreadful recipe was a tiny French cookie that so destroyed my culinary confidence, I vowed to never tell a soul of my failure. Until now.

Success in the kitchen has always come quite naturally to me. With fond memories of family recipes, cooking is a therapeutic hobby. If I’m feeling unimpressive, I take to the kitchen, and in 20 minutes I’m feeling as accomplished as Fannie Farmer. However, I always have more fun than Fannie.

Improvisation with ingredients suited me more than Farmer’s penchant for exact measurements. Who can be bothered with systematic use of cups and spoons when everyone in your kitchen is drooling from anticipation of your banana bread with tangy lemon cream cheese frosting?

For years, modifying recipes with nary a glance at the adorable porcelain kitty cat measuring cups that my sister gave me one Christmas had worked for me. As much as I enjoyed the baking process, I was more concerned with making a recipe my own and racing to feed my fans, because the flattery that followed tasted so good.

But my rebel chef swagger was challenged when I met the macaron, the tiny French cookie sandwich that appears deceivingly carefree in its delightful pastel colors and creamy fillings, but has a wicked reputa-

tion for being difficult to make.

A few years ago, in the midst of a surge in macaron popularity, I turned to my prized book, “Baking� by James Peterson, for a recipe. Skipping over all of the textbooky hoopla, I looked at the ingredients: “What’s so hard about whipping together sugar and egg whites?� I thought. Little did I know how crucial was this seemingly simple task.

My first attempt, involving a smoky oven and someone else’s confusion of wax paper for parchment, shan’t be detailed here. But it wasn’t enough for me to refuse to try again. Attempt No. 2 was just as tragic.

That second time, I hastily whipped the meringue, taking great care in crafting the perfect color batter. The additional food coloring may have caused it to be a bit runny, but never mind that. The color, Purple Mountains’ Majesty, was impeccable. I gingerly squeezed each shell into little half-dollarsize circles on the parchment. I smiled at them, and, as they gleamed back at me, I placed them into the oven. This would be the last time I would see my precious cookies whole.

As I was fitting a bag with a pastry tip to pipe the filling, I heard a strange sizzling in the oven. It was the batter, melting from the pan and dripping onto the bottom of the oven. Three open windows, one fight with the smoke detector and several dirty dish towels later, I hung up my apron, closed my “Baking� book and promised to never revisit that page, or any macaron recipe, ever again.

So when my editor gave me a stack of new

macaron books recently and inquired about my interest in doing a story, I was conflicted. Cramming my baking bravado directly down the garbage disposal seemed less excruciating than attempting the macaron a third time. But the books kept appearing on my desk, including “Perfect Patisserie: Mastering Macarons, Madeleines and More� by Tim Kinnaird (Firefly Books) and “Bake it, Don’t Fake it!�

by Heather Bertinetti (Rachael Ray Books).

Even the March issue of Martha Stewart Living featured a crash course in macarons. Apparently, macarons are back again, or maybe they never left.

After weeks of staring at the covers with those glossy meringue biscuits oozing with ganaches and butter creams, I decided I was not going to be defeated by these pretentious, dastardly French confections.

MACARONS CONTINUED ON A10

Macarons are delicate, cream-filled cookies that seem simple but can be difficult to get right. Bursting of the shell can be caused by air in the batter.

Cooks must pay attention to detail with pastry MACARONS

CONTINUED FROM A9

I signed up for a class, “Being a Chef: Le Macaron with Madelaine Bullwinkel,� at Alliance Francaise de Chicago. The entire way there I had flashbacks of cleaning perfect purple goo from the bottom of my oven. But I pulled up my big girl baking pants for the cookie cause and proceeded into the class.

Bullwinkel, who’s been teaching French cuisine at Chez Madelaine cooking school for nearly 4 decades, learned this macaron recipe from Paris’ Lenotre cooking school and tea house on the Champs-Elysees. The macaron is said to have been introduced to France in the 16th century by Catherine de’ Medici, an Italian noblewoman and queen to King Henry II. “Anything devised by the Italians in the 16th century should be a snap today, right? They didn’t have [modern] ovens, they didn’t have any of our tools,� Bullwinkel said at the introduction of class. “We are so advanced, we should be able to do this.

Wrong. We are also arrogant with our technology, and we think that, with machines, we can do anything. And we can do a lot, but the macaron is very trying. “In fact, we are going to do it in an exacting way to get the best results.�

Exacting. There’s that word again. But I wrote it down and underlined it, taking very diligent notes throughout her demonstration, during which Bullwinkel warned, “Taking shortcuts is only something you can do when you’ve mastered it.� And not even she takes shortcuts.

After her show-and-tell, she turned us loose to try it on our own in groups.

Some steps were intimidating, but seeing the appropriate consistency of the meringue and watching Bullwinkel’s piping technique were the most valuable takeaways. The rest is just science, as Ben Andrew, a chemist in my group, put it. “Chemistry is cooking; it’s not intimidating that way,� he said. “And, actually, I’m happier when we’re measuring things, because it’s more precise. There’s a lot of ways to screw it up.�

Patience proved to be key in not screwing it up.

My group’s batter was a bit thinner than Bullwinkel’s, a result produced either by not spending enough time pressing the almond meal and sugar mixture through the tamis (pronounced TAMmee) sieve or not scraping enough air out of the batter before pouring it into the pastry bag.

Other mishaps some groups experienced included undercooked, gooey centers – possibly caused by leaving the oven door open too long – and cracked shells, either from the oven being too hot or from too much air in the pastry bag.

Every detail counts, I learned. But in between the errors were moments of perfection. And no matter how cracked or misshapen the cookies looked, nothing beat the taste of the finished product. “It’s an art,� Bullwinkel told the class. “But guess what? Only you will know the subtle differences in your success, and everyone else will have their mouths full, saying,

‘Mmm, what’s the problem?’�

Which is true, I found, after I repeated the recipe in the Tribune test kitchen. That was the real test, after all. Working alone, of course, took much longer than doing it in a group. It took me three times as long as I thought it would, but I ran into some preventable timesuckers along the way.

My main advice: Get all of the tools. You’ll thank yourself. The time it will take you to run to a specialty store to pick up a tamis – the only tool missing from the Tribune’s test kitchen – will be less than what it’ll take to try to push the almond meal and sugar mixture through a typical wire sieve. My arms and I learned this the hard way.

I took extra care in spending just a few more moments with each step than I normally would. I meticulously weighed out each ingredient exactly, not a gram more or less. Just when I thought I scraped the batter against the bowl enough times to push out the air pockets, I scraped a few more times, and found that it dripped in a steadier stream this way.

My awareness of time fell away from me. Six hours later, I untied my apron.

Some shells came out broken and sunken in, but none of them melted off the pan. I arose from the kitchen with sore arms but better off than my first and second attempts – I had macarons to share.

Tips from Bullwinkel A tamis is a very fine sieve with a flat bottom and can be much wider than the typical strainer.

Press as much of the almond meal and sugar mixture through the tamis as possible so the batter doesn’t come out too thin.

Clean the metal bowl of a stand mixer with distilled white vinegar, which acidulates egg whites so they don’t yellow and allows them to rise. It also removes detergent and soap residue from the bowl.

You can’t always trust temperature settings on an oven. Put an oven thermometer inside for best results.

If working alone, stand the pastry bag in a tall beer glass to free both hands for pouring the batter.

If you get small peaks on the tops of the shells when squeezing the batter onto the parchment, wet your finger with water, then smooth it over.

Bob’s Red Mill brand of almond meal passes the easiest through a tamis.

Possible plays are clear with thought

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

John Tyndall, an English physicist who died in 1893, said, “Life is a wave that in no two consecutive moments of existence is composed of the same particles.”

At the bridge table, usually when the right choice of bid or play is not clear, you have two possibilities. Consider both of them, and with luck it will become apparent, which is preferable.

In this deal, South is in five diamonds. West leads the spade four. How should declarer plan the play?

South might have opened five diamonds, but that would have risked missing a slam. East’s double of one no-trump was for takeout of diamonds, the opener’s suit.

Yes, East might have bid two

hearts to get his five-card major into the game, but the double was more flexible. Then South bid what he hoped he could make. Note that if he had gambled on the

majors by rebidding three notrump, that contract would have made easily.

Declarer has three possible losers: one in each side-suit.

He also has only 10 winners: one spade, eight diamonds and one club. He needs a second spade trick. And if West has led away from the king, that trick will materialize immediately. But what happens if East produces the spade king?

Yes, South’s queen is now established, but how can he get to dummy’s spade ace?

The answer is to hope that West has the spade jack and to drop the queen under East’s king.

Suppose East shifts to the club king. Declarer wins, draws trumps, and plays his spade three to dummy’s 10.

If that finesse loses, the contract was unmakable. © 2014 UFS

s the temperature increases, many of us head to the produce department for some “lighter� and “cooler� food items. A greattasting salad can really hit the spot on a warm, sunny day.

Salads can be fun to create by using a variety of ingredients and toppings. A different salad can be made every time. This allows you to experience different types of tastes and textures while nourishing your body at the same time.

I like a salad to be filling and have some depth to it. This southwestern salad not only looks great on the plate and has a fantastic flavor, but is rich in protein and fiber to keep you content and satisfied.

The addition of black beans provides protein and soluble fiber. The homemade dressing uses avocado, which provides you with hearthealthy mono-unsat-

urated fat, and Greek yogurt which is high in protein.

Feel free to create different variations of this salad by using different vegetables, adding other lean protein such as shrimp, chicken or tuna, and making a salad dressing by mixing half light ranch dressing with an equal amount of salsa. A few baked tortilla strips can be tossed on top for a crunch.

Southwestern Salad with Black Beans Makes one serving ½ ripe avocado Ÿ cup packed fresh

cilantro (or amount you desire) ½ cup plain Greek yogurt ½ green onions, chopped 1 clove garlic, quartered 1 tablespoon lime juice ½ teaspoon sugar ½ teaspoon salt 3 cups mixed greens ½ cup black beans, canned (rinsed) or cooked ½ cup corn kernels, fresh or frozen(thawed) ½ cup grape tomatoes 1.

GENESEO – Soccer is a game of “moments,” as Mahmoud Etemadi likes to say.

Most galling before Kirsten DeArvil’s icebreaker 18 minutes and 21 seconds into the contest, Dixon (15-5) had a penalty kick, which resulted in two more point-blank scoring chances on rebounds, with UT goalie Amanda Burrill stonewalling them all.

“We played really well in the first half,’’ Etemadi said.

“We not only took the lead, but we had several other good chances to score.

“But we also could not capitalize, and that’s the name of this game. If you don’t score, surely they will.”

“The way these girls practice is quite something,” Panthers coach Don Robinson said. “Corrie Reiley knows how to push these girls in practice. She leads the middle distance runners.

“She knows how to go after stuff she wants.”

Reiley has been a key cog in what the Panthers do best – relays. She is part of two state-qualifying relay teams, including one that has the best seed time entering this weekend’s state meet.

Running business Tenth-seeded Warrior relay not looking past 3,200 preliminaries

Before the 3,200-meter relay at last Friday’s Class 2A Freeport Girls Track Sectional, Sterling senior Charli Wike had a message for the other three members of that relay team.

“I knew that if we didn’t qualify, that that would have been my last 800 I’d ever run,” Wike said. “I just told them, ‘The biggest regret I ever had was not giving it my all in every one of my races. What’s the worst that can happen?’

“When I thought back on what I was worried about before races, the worst that can happen is you feel tired. It’s not that bad.”

Wike must have gotten through to her relay mates, Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com junior Mercedes Sanchez, and Sterling’s Mercedes Sanchez runs the final leg of the 3,200 relay during last Friday’s 2A Freeport freshmen Maggie McPherson Sectional.

Turning tables on champs Comets take advantage of Missiles’ miscues in semifinal

LANARK – The last 2 years, the Milledgeville Missiles have made runs to the Class 1A state softball tournament because of several factors – not the least of which was taking advantage of opportunities their opponents presented them with.

But the defending 1A state champions got a taste of their own medicine Tuesday afternoon in the semifinals of the Eastland Regional.

The Newman Comets made Missile mental and physical miscues hurt in a 6-5 victory in Lanark.

“They did what we’ve been doing the last 2 years,” Milledgeville senior Courtney Swalve said. “It felt like they had the answer for every mistake we made, and they took advantage of everything we gave them.”

TO BE CONTINUED Morrison, Erie-Prophetstown game suspended in sixth inning

BY BRIAN WEIDMAN BWEIDMAN SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

MORRISON – In the end, not a whole lot was settled in the third, and most important, softball game between Erie-Prophetstown and Morrison on Tuesday night.

In a Class 2A Morrison Regional semifinal, the Fillies led the Panthers 5-4 entering the bottom of the sixth inning. Erie-Prophetstown, as the higher seed, was slated to come to bat when the game was abruptly halted because of lightning being spotted to the north.

That was at 8:40 p.m,, so the earliest the game could resume was 9:10 p.m., after a mandatory half-hour wait for the lightning to clear the area. Only it never did.

Rumors were flying rampant about what would be done, and most of them did not favor Erie-Prophetstown. The initial thought was to have the game revert back to the score for the last completed inning. That would have left the final score 5-4 in Morrison’s favor.

With umpires scouring rule books for some sort of resolution, finally there was a breakthrough.

After multiple phone calls were made to the IHSA office, an umpire got through to Pat Creek, the head softball clinician for the IHSA. Creek determined as it was a playoff game and neither team was slated to play again until Saturday, the teams would resume play today (Wednesday) at 4 p.m.

Had it been a regular-season game, Morrison would have won the game 5-4.

Morrison Athletic Director Gus Linke is going to contact the IHSA in the morning, to confirm the ruling.

The decision was met with mixed reviews. “It wouldn’t be the best way to win,� Morrison starting pitcher Brooke Stralow said, “but to come back and play, that would be OK too. I suppose it’s best to

play a full game.� “I’m definitely happy we get to come back,� E-P first baseman Savannah Mettler said. “I think it’s only fair because we’re only halfway through an inning, and we are the home team. It’s only right that we at least get the chance to come back.�

Mettler was a central figure in the game’s signature play. Emily Cox’s RBI single brought the Panthers to within 5-4 with one out in the bottom of the fifth. Mettler was on third base, and Cox was on second.

The next batter, Kylie Ackerman, hit a comebacker to pitcher Lauren Rice, who threw to Stralow at first for an out. Mettler broke for home, and her slide appeared to beat the relay throw of Stralow, but Morrison catcher Chelsea Eads had the plate blocked, preventing the tying run from scoring. It was an inningending double play.

Erie-Prophetstown coach Bob Phelps argued that Eads blocked the plate without the ball, which is against the rules. In a sign of the times, an Erie-Prophetstown fan used a cellphone to record the play, and had the play online

within minutes. “I felt like I was safe on the play, with maybe a little obstruction by the catcher,� Mettler said. “I believe the umpire was looking at my foot instead of the plate, and my foot wasn’t on because she was blocking me, but I believe I was safe. We have video that says I’m safe.�

Cox had a pair of RBI singles to pace the Erie-Prophetstown offense, while Ackerman delivered a key 2-run single to highlight a 3-run third inning.

The hitting star for Morrison was Eads. She had an RBI single in the first inning, and her 2-run single in the fifth gave the Fillies a 5-3 at the time.

Pending unforeseen developments, the game will resume at 4 p.m. today, with Erie-Prophetstown’s Clare Kramer coming to the plate to start the bottom of the sixth. Rice, who entered the game in the bottom of the fourth in relief of Stralow, is the Morrison pitcher.

The winner between ErieProphetstown and Morrison will take on Alleman, a 12-1 winner against West Carroll, for a regional title on Saturday.

ABOVE: Newman shortstop Mary Alice Oswalt fires a ball to first for an out during the third inning of Tuesday’s 1A Eastland Regional semifinal against Milledgeville. The Comets beat the Missiles 6-5.

BELOW: Milledgeville pitcher Morgan Adolph fields a bunt but throws late to first Tuesday in Lanark.

Comets carry momentum from early on TABLES

CONTINUED FROM B1

“We put up a great fight today, and it was an allaround game,� Newman junior Julie Hurd said. “Our outfield made some nice plays, our infield got the job done, and both our pitchers threw strikes. We also hit the ball well, and hit it in a lot of places where they weren’t.�

Facing a 2-0 deficit before their first at-bat, the Comets took the momentum back quickly. Hurd stole home on a bases-loaded pickoff

attempt at second in the first inning, then Newman took its first lead on Hurd’s two-out, two-run triple to left in the second.

Tied 3-3 in the bottom of the third, the Comets sent nine hitters to the plate and got an RBI single from Lakyn Waldschmidt and a run-scoring fielder’s choice from Sam Miller before Hurd drew a bases-loaded walk. “The intangibles are what won us this game,�

Newman coach JD Waldschmidt said. “We took advantage of every opportunity laid out in front of us, and that’s an area we’ve seen tremendous improvement in throughout the season.�

But the Missiles weren’t about to go down without a fight. Swalve and Kayleigh Leddy had RBI singles in the first inning, then Swalve scored on a two-out error in the second.

After Newman got out of a potential trouble spot with an inning-ending double play on a popout in the fifth, Milledgeville got to within 6-5 on Holly Brall’s two-run single in the sixth to plate Morgan Adolph and Leddy. “At that point, I thought we were going to come back,� Swalve said. “Holly gave us life, and I had faith that we were going to get it done. It just didn’t happen in the seventh inning.�

With the top of the order up with one out in the seventh, Newman reliever Sam Miller never let the Missiles get going.

She got a weak roller to

first and a strikeout to end the game with a 1-2-3 inning – the third such frame of the game, and fourth time Milledgeville managed to send just three hitters to the plate in an inning. “It was big for us to score early, especially after they scored right away,� Hurd said. “We got the momentum back from them in the third inning, and we didn’t want to give it back to them. We kept the intensity up, our attitudes stayed positive all game, and we stuck together and got the win.�

Waldschmidt (11-5) gave up a three runs (two earned) and three hits in the start, striking out one and walking one in four innings. Miller came on in the fifth and allowed two earned runs and three hits, striking out

five and walking one for a three-inning save. “Newman’s got two good pitchers, and they were smart to change them before our third time through the order,�

Milledgeville coach Brad Grenoble said. “It really kept us off-balance. I like the spot we were in with the top of our order coming up in the seventh – I’ll take that a million times – and we just couldn’t get that timely hit to start a rally. Hats off to Newman; they were better than us today.�

Adolph (14-5) struck out five and walked five in six innings, giving up six earned runs and six hits. She settled in after the rough start, stranding three Comets on base in the three-run third and allowing just two baserunners the rest of the way.

Sisters bonded through sport BOOKENDS

CONTINUED FROM B1

She pushes both Courtney and Rachel Cobert, who run two of the most important legs on the relays – the first and last.

The production the Panthers get from the Cobert sisters has been important this season in being able to stay competitive. Until last Thursday’s Bureau Valley Sectional, the 1,600 relay had not trailed all season long.

Some teams still tinker with relay lineups throughout the season, searching for a strong combination, but the Panthers have stayed consistent, with the Coberts running legs on three state relay teams. “We tried to run these relays together all season, so they can become familiar with each other, so the handoffs are smooth,� Robinson said. “And we hope that’s what happens this weekend.�

Courtney, a senior, leads off three relays, while Rachel, a sophomore, provides the finishing blow as the anchor. “They call us the bookends,� Rachel said. “It’s incredible. I guarantee that not even a handful of people can say that they ran with their sibling, and we get to do it on such a productive

relay team. “It’s really special, and I appreciate each time we do it.�

The Panthers have qualified all four relays for this weekend’s state meet at Eastern Illinois in Charleston.

Not only that, but the Panthers have a good chance of medaling Saturday in all four.

The Panthers’ 1,600 relay team of Courtney Cobert, Heather Strike, Reiley and Rachel Cobert, own the top seed in the state with a time of 4:10.19. Courtney Kruthoff replaces Reiley in the 400 relay, which is seeded second in the state (51.01), a halfsecond behind Aurora Christian.

Erie-Prophetstown owns another top-5 seed in the 800 relay (1:48.23), as Courtney Cobert leads off and Rachel Cobert runs the anchor, with Kruthoff and Strike running the second and third legs.

The 3,200 relay with Reiley, Kassi Henrekin, Brooke Remley and Breanna Jensen, enters with the 15th-best seed with a time of 10:16.17.

Having both Coberts on the relays is something that Robinson enjoys. He appreciates the way the two push each other in practice. “You can tell they have chemistry,� Robinson said. “They are critquing each other all the time.

It’s sad they won’t be able to run together after this weekend.�

The two have grown close since Rachel’s freshman year. She cherishes the times that she was driven to school by her older sister, and the times the two talked about meets when they get home.

They stayed close even as Rachel took over her older sister’s anchor duties on the relays. “She took my spot when she came in,�

Courtney said. “I used to anchor, but we kind of learned that I was good at leading off, so that’s where I got stuck.�

It was a natural move for Courtney, who also qualified for state in the 100 with a time of 13.10.

She is strong out of the blocks, and has a way of mentally approaching each race as if it were an individual race.

The tactic has worked wonders, and she has a good feel of how to break away from the pack in order to get a good handoff position. “It was pretty easy to transition to,� Courtney Cobert said. “With me running in a lot of open events in the past, you’re not chasing anyone like you are if you’re the anchor or in another spot. “You don’t really know where you are. You just have to run your race.�

would look like with others running the race.

It wasn’t until April 26 at the Harlem Invitational that the four would run the 3,200 relay together, and they ran a season-best 10:01, just 3 seconds off the qualifying time.

It was then Gaumer knew he had his four.

Each runner showed a different strength that complimented the other.

McPherson and Barnhart like to go out fast in the beginning of the race, which suits the top two spots well. Wike is a competitor who can hold a lead or make up ground, and Sanchez is a strong closer.

Sanchez also qualified in the open 1,600 with a personal-best time of 5:20.48. “We all came together with one goal,� Sanchez said, “and we got it.�

With the 10th-best seed time, the group knows that they have a good chance at making Saturday’s finals, as the top 12 teams advance, but letting that thought creep into their heads is risky. “We don’t want to get in our heads that with our seed time we can cruise to finals,� Wike said. “You never know what can happen. We know we have to run our best, no matter what.�

The Yankees’ Brett Gardner (11) is safe at first as Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo awaits the throw during the first inning Tuesday at Wrigley Field. The Cubs won 6-1.

Cubs send Tanaka to 1st loss Yankee rookie’s win streak ends at Wrigley; Sox win in KC "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Masahiro Tanaka had his regularseason unbeaten streaked snapped at 42 starts, allowing a career-high four runs in six innings, and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Yankees 6-1 on Tuesday night.

Tanaka (6-1) had been 34-0 in Japan and North America the last two seasons. He did drop Game 6 of the Japan Series last year before earning the save in Game 7. But postseason aside, he hadn’t lost since the Seibu Lions beat the

Rakuten Golden Eagles on Aug. 19, 2012.

Luis Valbuena had three hits with two doubles and scored two runs.

John Baker had two hits, scored a run and drove in one. Mike Olt drove in three.

Cardinals 5, Diamondbacks 0:

Adam Wainwright threw a onehitter, facing one hitter over the minimum, and St. Louis ended an eight-game home run drought with longballs from Matt Adams and Jhonny Peralta in St. Louis.

Working on 6 days rest because of a rainout and day off, Wainwright (7-2) retired the first 11 batters before Paul Goldschmidt doubled off the wall in center with two outs in the fourth.

White Sox 7, Royals 6: Adam Dunn hit a three-run homer, and the White Sox defeated the Royals in Kansas City.

Andre Rienzo (4-0) limited the Royals to two runs and five hits over six innings. He struck out a career-high eight.

NBA PLAYOFFS | EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

Two stars align down stretch for Heat James, Wade lead way past Pacers

BY MICHAEL MAROT !0 3PORTS 7RITER

INDIANAPOLIS – LeBron James and Dwyane Wade followed the same old script Tuesday night.

When Miami got into trouble, the All-Star duo bailed out the Heat.

Again.

James scored the first six points in a decisive 12-2 run, and combined with Wade for Miami’s final 20 points in an 87-83 victory over the Indiana Pacers that left the Eastern Conference final tied at a game apiece. “That’s why they’re the hundred million dollar guys,� teammate Norris Cole said. “They’re unstoppable. They make the game easy for everyone else when they’re in attack mode.�

AP That’s exactly how the The Pacers’ George Hill goes to the basket against money guys played durthe Heat’s Chris Bosh during the second half ing the final 12 minutes.

Wade, who had 13 Tuesday in Indianapolis. The Heat won 87-83.

points in the Heat’s 41-point first half, scored his final 10 in the fourth.

James, who finished with 22 points, had 12 in the fourth. Together they helped Miami avoid falling into a 2-0 deficit for the first time since the first round of the 2010 playoffs.

Lance Stephenson tied his playoff career high with 25 points for the Pacers. Paul George scored 14.

Now the series shifts back to Miami for Game 3 on Saturday and Game 4 on Monday.

The Pacers were in a strong position midway through the fourth before James and Wade helped Miami seize the homecourt advantage Indiana so desperately wanted for this series.

Miami has won 11 straight games following a playoff loss.

Duchesses wear down after half in regional MOMENTS

CONTINUED FROM B1

The Panthers (5-14) answered DeArvil’s unassisted score just over 2 minutes later with a goal

by Haylee Stone.

Just over 3 minutes after that, United Township took the lead for good on Meagan Serra’s feed to Kailin Saucedo. “UT took advantage of

their opportunities, and we did not,� Etemadi said. “Case closed.�

The Panthers also built on that 2-1 lead after halftime with better passing and ball control, leading to a pair of Alyssa Diaz goals from Merriyah Myers 5 minutes apart midway through the second half.

Dixon keeper Carly Hartle matched Burrill by turning away 8 shots

in goal, but the Duchesses mustered very little offensive attack in the second half after the early flurry.

UT now is rematched with top-seeded Geneseo in Friday’s title game.

The Panthers edged the hosts 2-1 in last season’s regional final. “This does not take away from a good UT team, but we were short with our numbers,

because of some injuries, and so they did wear us down in the second half,� said Etemadi, who only had three substitutes at his disposal. “UT is a good, deep team with a lot of good players. We did the best we could. I could not have asked for more. We fought to the end, and I give the kids a lot of credit. I am proud of all of them.�

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is specifically licensed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))

Astrograph Let your creative side loose Wednesday, May 21, 2014 Let your creative side loose this year. Don’t be deterred by the inevitable changes coming your way. Accept that some situations are beyond your control, and devote yourself to success.

Believing in your abilities is the first step. Enjoy the moment and the ride.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t get caught up in workplace bickering. If you have a legitimate complaint, follow the proper channels. Negativity and grumbling could trigger even bigger problems. Protect your position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Remembering the fun you had in the past will lead to a return to the things you enjoyed doing most. Rekindle the moment by revisiting old friends, places or hobbies.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- This is your lucky day. You may receive an unexpected profit through a previous investment.

Your ideas for financial gains will prove more favorable than ever. Romance is in the stars.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Someone around you will be short-tempered. If you overreact,

you will only create more hostility. Find a solitary activity that you enjoy in order to avoid a feud.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Do your best at work and at home. Your peers or partners aren’t likely to be cooperative.

Rely on your own efforts and tread carefully to avoid misunderstandings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Self-improvement strategies will work to your advantage. Use your initiative, and apply your strong work ethic to the things you find most appealing. Stay in control.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You can’t avoid unpleasantness forever. Ignoring the problems will not make them go away. Take action and face any contentious issues before they become impossible to deal with.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your personal problems may come under scrutiny from meddling friends or relatives. Be diplomatic, but make it clear that you intend to solve your own issues.

PUZZLE ENTHUSIASTS: Get more puzzles in AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Go over proposals or contracts with a fine-toothed comb, and get everything in writing. You could face long-term problems if you take people at face value. Protect your assets and your reputation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- If you have been feeling blue, take time to pamper yourself or just relax. It might be the time to begin some improvement projects. The busier you are, the less time you’ll spend dwelling on problems.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your drive to help those in need will bring you personal satisfaction and enrich your life. Personal and community commitments will bring you unexpected benefits. You have a lot to offer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Your desire to learn is commendable and unstoppable.

Meeting with others and comparing thoughts and ideas will keep you up-to-date and well-informed. Forge ahead.
