DIXON – After a 7-year trek through the court system, the defamation case filed by a former Dixon High School basketball coach and athletic director has settled out of court.

The suit, filed by Steve Sandholm, 64, in April 2008, claimed that some parents defamed him when they accused him, online and on the radio, of verbally abusing his players, and making profanity-laced speeches during halftime.

Sandholm also sued NRG Media, the company that

owns WIXN radio, and the station’s g e n e r a l manager, Al Knickrehm.

NRG and Knickrehm settled with Sandholm in Steve September.

Sandholm Parents Richard Kuecker, Ardis Kuecker, Mike Venier, David Deets, and Robert Shomaker settled in January, said Stephen Fieweger, Sandholm’s attorney.

ROCK FALLS

DeKalb, Ogle among counties eligible for loans SPRINGFIELD (AP) — Illinois officials say lowinterest, long-term loans will be available to families and businesses in nine northern Illinois counties recovering from the April 9 tornado.

The Illinois Emergency Management Agency made the announcement Thursday. The loan assistance through the U.S. Small Business Administration was approved following a survey of uninsured losses in the region.

Gov. Bruce Rauner says the federal agency’s declaration will bring “muchneeded help to people and businesses still trying to recover from the tornado.”

The loans will be available to people in Ogle, DeKalb, Winnebago, Boone, Kane, Kendall, LaSalle, Lee, and McHenry counties.

State officials say the federal agency will announce details about a Disaster Loan Outreach Center soon.

The approval follows letters seeking the aid from the Illinois congressional delegation and the governor.

3 plead not guilty in connection with Quincy boy’s death QUINCY (AP) – Three members of the Crider family have pleaded not guilty to charges in connection with the March 28 fatal shoot-

ings of a 12-year-old western Illinois boy.

The Quincy Herald Whig reported that Stefan K. Crider Jr., Stefan K. Crider III, and Julia A. Crider entered the pleas during an arraignment Wednesday in Adams County court. They are charged with conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice.

Ray Humphrey Jr. was shot dead March 28. The alleged gunman, Steson L. Crider, is still awaiting extradition from Arizona. He faces a first-degree murder charge in Adams County.

Quincy woman gets 9 years for 9th DUI conviction QUINCY (AP) — A 61-year-old Quincy woman has been sentenced to 9 years in prison for her ninth drunk-driving conviction.

The Herald-Whig reported that Konnie “Kelly” McCord faced up to 30 years in state prison but struck a plea deal Wednesday for the lesser sentence. She was most recently convicted of DUI in Brown County in 2005 and sentenced to four years in prison.

McCord has been convicted seven times of driving under the influence of alcohol in Illinois and two other times in Texas. She registered a blood-alcohol content of .204 after her most recent arrest in April, which is nearly 2½ times the legal limit.

Fundraiser on for boy who needs a kidney STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5501

ROCK FALLS – At 5, Colton “Farmer” Egan already has faced more than his share of health challenges. Now he’s facing another one.

He needs a kidney transplant.

A GoFundMe.com campaign is underway to raise $10,000 for the Egan family’s medical and other expenses.

The family has insurance, but continues to have travel, food, lodging, and medical expenses.

Colton, son of farmers Jeff and Sarah Egan of Rock Falls, developed flu-like symptoms and began treatment at CGH Medical Center in Sterling in September 2013. It was determined that E. coli bac-

Seymour-Memreez

teria made him sick, and he was transferred to St. Francis Children’s Colton Hospital Egan in Peoria, where he was diagnosed with hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can lead to kidney failure. He spent 13 weeks in intensive care there.

“We never did find out where he got sick,” Sarah said.

He underwent several surgeries, and suffered a stroke and a coma. He went to the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago for several weeks, and later KSB Hospital’s Commerce Towers office in Dixon.

Now at home, Colton undergoes daily dialysis

ROCK FALLS

Committee: Six garage sales is enough Work on ordinance for sewer customers outside city limits OK’d

BY PAM EGGEMEIER peggemeier@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5570 @pam_eggemeier

ROCK FALLS – City resident Kayla Koester has a sophisticated system in mind for her garage sales, but the law tends to get in her way.

Koester, who lives in the 1300 block of 13th Avenue, was at Thursday’s Ordinance Committee meeting to get clarification on how she can mastermind the sales.

“There seems to be some confusion about what you can and can’t do,” Koester told the committee. “I’ve asked about it in Sterling and Dixon, and they said they don’t have anything in their ordinances about garage sales.”

Koester’s system is

largely based on weather, so she would like to see the city expand the number of days allowed to accommodate more rounds of her children’s seasonal clothing.

“The ordinance says I can only have sales 6 days a year, but I do seasonal sales, and I think you should make it 21 days,” Koester said.

Mayor Bill Wescott said the city’s ordinance merely mirrors the state statute for garage, yard and rummage sales.

The law distinguishes between garage sales and a secondhand store that would need a business license and be subject to taxation.

“A maximum number of days a year must be set before sales tax would be collected, or a business license must be

Rock Falls ordinance Sales of secondhand merchandise in residentially zoned locations: (a) Sales of used or secondhand items or merchandise, where such merchandise is displayed and members of the public are invited to a specific location to view and purchase the merchandise, when the location of display is zoned for residential use shall be conducted in accordance with the requirements of this section only. Such sales are sometimes commonly known as “yard sales,” “garage sales,” “rummage sales” or other similar designations. (b) Such sales of secondhand or used items or merchandise shall not be conducted or held at any single address or location within the city on more than six (6) calendar days (or parts thereof) in any calendar year, and no items or merchandise shall be offered for sale or displayed at any one (1) location for more than three (3) consecutive calendar days (or parts thereof). secured,” Wescott said.

While all cities don’t have a specific ordinance drawn up for garage sales, what the state has on the books must be followed.

Koester also asked if lot size played a role in garage sale governance.

SYCAMORE

“My house is on two lots, so am I allowed to have more sales?” she asked.

Because the law applies to a residence, the lot size would have no bearing, she was told.

Koester also wondered if she could have a sale

at a business’ parking lot.

“It’s private property, so if the owner lets you, they take all of the responsibility for what happens there,” Wescott said.

Alderman Rod Kleckler said residents’ complaints also warrant that the number of sales be limited.

“There tends to be a lot of noise with some of these, and you get the early birds there at 5 a.m.,” Kleckler said.

“They can also block traffic and just be a nuisance for neighbors.”

In other matters, Sewer Department Superintendent Ed Cox was given the OK to begin work on an ordinance that would apply to sewer customers living outside the city limits.

The pre-annexation agreements now used by the city doubles the flat rate on sewer bills until

the ratepayer is brought onto city water service.

Some residents just outside the city limits are using well water, but have city water infrastructure set up at their property.

“We have three options – we can let it go, cut them off, or charge more,” Cox said.

City Administrator Robbin Blackert said the issue becomes a matter of fairness.

“I don’t know how you can explain to the ratepayers in the city that they are paying more on their bills, and paying property taxes for city water and sewer infrastructure, when everyone is using that infrastructure,” Blackert said.

Annexation of contiguous areas requires an ordinance change, so Cox will work on the language with the city attorney.

Medical marijuana Ex-employee files suit against city application filed, Says she was fired for being a whistle-blower; official calls claim ‘untrue’ set to be reviewed Official unable to provide time frame

The Legislature approved medical marijuana 2 years ago. It was set to end after 2017, but there have been delays in getting it underway.

Both chambers also approved a bill that would decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, and make possession of about .53 ounces or less of marijuana a civil violation punishable by fines between $55 and a $125. Violators would not face jail time.

Rauner has not said whether he’ll sign either bill.

BY KATIE SMITH Shaw Media ksmith@shawmedia.com

SYCAMORE – The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation began receiving applications Wednesday for authorization to open medical marijuana dispensaries.

Luke DeBatty, a representative for The Dispensary, LLC., asked the Sycamore City Council for a special use permit April 20 to build a dispensary.

DeBatty was granted the permit, and has since submitted his application to the IDFPR, he said.

There, it will await review by staff members in the professional regulation division, IDFPR spokesperson Terry Horstman said.

Horstman could not give a time frame in which patients would be able to purchase marijuana in Illinois once dispensary locations have received authorization by the state.

“Because IDFPR is processing registration materials for all applicants statewide for the first time, we would be unable to provide an exact approval time frame,” he said.

Lawmakers moved on several pieces of a legislation related to marijuana May 30, including extending the state’s medical marijuana program by 2 or more years.

ROCHELLE – A former city human resources employee is suing the city, claiming she was fired for being a whistleblower.

In a complaint filed in Ogle County Court in April, Lynette Fischer, who worked for the city from 2007 until 2014, said City Manager Dave Plyman fired her after she disclosed examples of wrongdoing to City Council members.

Three times, once in June 2013, and twice in April 2014, she found

that the conduct of, or statements made by, Plyman and Dan Westin, a business and financial analyst for Rochelle Municipal Utilities, were false or unauthorized by the council, and therefore were illegal, she said in the suit.

When council members questioned Plyman, he retaliated by placing Fischer on unpaid administrative leave, and then firing her, she said

Al taught himself how to play the dobro, and was playing and touring with the Dirty Beet Brothers, waiting for the release of their album.

Al also was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed playing dart league with his friends, and most

of all, sitting around a campfire playing music.

He loved his dog, Muleskiner Blues.

Dixon Main Street: Statue project is not dead by any means STATUE

CONTINUED FROM A1

“Our discussions were along the lines of as an entity, in order to take on a project of this size, it was going to be a significant undertaking,” Brown said.

Originally proposed in 2010, Main Street spearheaded a fundraising campaign called the Public Arts Project. Its intent was to enhance Giana downtown Bonneur c u l t u r e while paying homage to a central historical figure of Dixon.

That statue was planned for a proposed park at the northwest intersection of Peoria Avenue and First Street.

The statue was to depict a seated Dixon offering candy with his left hand extended.

As of this week, however, Brown said the project has sat “idle for a number of years.” The statue is expected to cost $42,000. Main Street, thus far, has raised about $10,000, according to Brown, from a group of “core donors.”

Since the project was

first outlined, Main Street has also undergone personnel changes.

Brown said neither the current board members nor Executive Director Giana Bonneur were part of the organization 5 years ago.

Recently, the board concluded the project required more resources than Main Street could devote at this time. The extra effort would have taken away from other programs the organization runs, Bonneur said.

“It would have required singular focus of Main Street,” Bonneur said.

“We needed to decide if this was something that we’re going to complete or pass along.”

Brown said he is in the process of reaching out to the original donors to gauge how they would like to see the project move forward. Main Street intends to look into partnerships and explore with a new group “different fundraising avenues.”

Main Street still supports the intent of the project, Brown said. But right now, it’s not in a position to steer the effort.

“As of late, it’s been a realization,” Brown said.

“It’s not something we’re saying is dead by any means.”

Lawyer: Client is ‘happy’ with terms of settlement SETTLEMENT

CONTINUED FROM A1

On May 28, the remaining five defendants – Glen Hughes, Tim Oliver, Dan Burke, Mary Mahan-Deatherage, and Greg Deatherage – also settled.

Fieweger declined to discuss terms. “My client’s happy about it,” he said.

Sandholm’s suit, filed in Lee County court in 2008, was dismissed in July 2009, a decision upheld by an appellate court in October 2010. The Illinois State Supreme Court dis-

agreed, and sent it back to Lee County in January.

Sandholm worked as a basketball coach at Dixon High for nine seasons before being terminated in 2008. He was kept on as athletic director until March 2009, when the school board voted to not renew his contract. Sandholm was then transferred to an administrative role in the district office.

He filed a federal lawsuit in May 2009, alleging that he was the victim of age discrimination. That suit was tossed in March 2011.

REVIEW

A big show and big cast brings ‘bawdy hysteria’ to Timber Lake

BY SUE LANGENBERG For Sauk Valley Media

MOUNT CARROLL – The most exciting promise of summer is on the horizon, as Timber Lake Playhouse opens Season 54 this weekend with rousing musical “Hairspray.”

The summer stock theater in the boonies of Mount Carroll is on a roll, proving that “the stars shine brighter deep in the woods,” as observed by artistic director Jim Beaudry.

The Tony Award-winning musical achieved its success up a stepladder of creative juices from John Waters’ 1988 film of the same name. The film inspired the book

by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, then music by Marc Shaiman and lyrics with Scott Wittman. That was in the ’80s. The style, however, takes us back to the ’50s and ’60s.

Directed by TLP’s returning talent Lil-Anne Brown, this satire of song and dance exploits racial barriers of the era into an explosion of stereotypes that runs a theme of bawdy hysteria throughout. As the message is portrayed loud and clear

through hip gyrations, teased hair and rhythmic doo-wops, the subtext runs a disquieting parallel for those who remember dark times.

The ingenious structure of excitement, however, passes forward a daredevil spell to make you want to race out of the theater and flaunt all that haunts you.

Main character Tracy Turnblad (Amelia Jo Parish) represents the downside of bullying as a plus-size high school student. She also dreams big, in hopes of romance, stage and justice. In her role, Parish can own the house as a brassy broad in “Welcome to the ’60s” yet be gently yearning in “I Can Hear The Bells.” Her overall artistic presence is a special kind of beauty more endearing to the eye and to the role itself.

Hints of the “Mickey Mouse Club” are in scenes led by Corny Collins (returning TLP actor Grant Alexander Brown) as cutesy lineup Brad (Orrin Keown), Tammy (Holly Moss), Fender (Tyler Klingbiel), Sketch (Levi Skoog) Shelley (Emalia Dunkel), IQ (Chandler Smith) and friends sing themselves

through “The Nicest Kids in Town.”

Bolstering the lily-white aspect is properly snooty producer Velma Von Tussle (Paige ManWaring), who strongly sets the record through song, “The Legend of Miss Baltimore Crabs.”

Parents Edna (Tommy Bullington in drag) and Wilbur (Cullen Rogers) are on the other side of the ’50s rabbit ears television as starry-eyed daughter yearns through “Mama, I’m a Big Girl Now.” Among the many magic moments of this show is when Tracy is struck with her first mad crush on Link Larken (Samual Leicht). The lighting changes and the actors turn into a frozen tableau as she hears those

“Bells” overhead. Leicht has superlatively slick moves as a budding Elvis striking air guitar poses in an instant.

Times change with “Welcome to the ’60s,” including glitzy Dynamites & Co., full of brass and doo-wops and a special note to Shayla Brielle G. for a spectacular vocal.

Equally strong characters who represent the prejudicial element of the show are juicy additions to the stereotypical images. As Seaweed J. Stubbs, Eli Emmit teaches his oozy moves to Tracy in “Detention,” while his mother Motormouth Maybelle takes the house down in “Big, Blonde and Beautiful” and sister Inez with “Run and Tell That.”

were seen outside the Peoria Republican’s office, some wearing identifying gear from the FBI as they loaded boxes and other things onto trucks.

Agents on the scene deferred questions to the U.S. attorney’s office.

U.S. attorney’s office spokeswoman Sharon

Paul declined to comment Thursday. Schock’s attorney and an FBI spokesman didn’t immediately return messages.

Prosecutors are going through Schock’s travel expenses and spending after reports surfaced that he had decorated his Capitol Hill office in the

style of TV’s “Downton Abbey.” Schock resigned in March amid the intensifying scrutiny.

Lisa Ayres, 47, who coowns the bed and breakfast with her husband, John, 47, said she wants to fill a need in the area.

“We are at the doorstep of Franklin Creek State Park and the doorstep of the Nachusa Grasslands,” Ayres said. “Students, researchers, photographers and artists come out to experience this area, but there is no place to stay. This is filling a need for the community.”

Construction on the 7,200-square-foot bed and breakfast has been going on for about a year.

“People like bed and breakfast for conversation and home life in a unique environment,” Ayres said. “Being smaller than a hotel, you can give personal attention, or you can give people their space.”

On the historic Lincoln Way in Franklin Grove, the bed and breakfast also offers spa services, a sauna and a workout area, among other things.

The five locally themed rooms each have a unique design and decor, selected by Ayres. The Nachusa and Taft rooms feature their own bathrooms with showers.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

Jim Morin, MorinToons Syndicate

From seniors to grads, advice worth pondering What we think We’re please to repeat some words of wisdom from area senior citizens as the Class of 2015 heads off into the future. Today’s former high school seniors might profit from it.

T

he final graduates of the Class of 2015 have walked across the stage, received their diplomas, and celebrated the completion of an important phase of their educations.

While high school seniors likely spent a little while looking in the rearview mirror in recent weeks, they are now focused squarely on their futures.

And, despite the troubles and challenges that intrude upon young lives from time to time, the future looks bright for them.

These grads, born in the late 1990s, have a realistic opportunity to live into the 22nd century, if their health holds out with exercise, good eating habits, and the help of 21st-century medical advances.

What amazing stories they’ll be able to tell their grandchildren about all the advances they will have witnessed!

Living to a ripe old age is a laudable goal, and it occurred to us that today’s senior citizens possess advice that today’s graduates might find helpful – as well as anyone else, for that matter, who hopes to attain an advanced age.

A Sauk Valley Media special marketing section, Celebrating Our Seniors, came out this past Saturday. It featured about 80 photos of area seniors along with words of wisdom from these eighty-somethings, ninety-somethings, and a few one-hundred-somethings.

Here are some words to live by from area folks

who’ve lived by them for many years: “Just get along with everyone. Be thankful for what you have.” – Vinus “Bud” Williams “Enjoy your family.” – Alma Bohm “Get involved with your community.” – Mary Williams “No one is in charge of your happiness except you.” – Larry Dennis “Think twice before you act once.” – Wendell Snell “Always be honest and treat everyone fairly.” – Bill LaFever “Keep busy. Keep moving.” – Ruth Ross “Do the hardest job first, and the rest will come easy!” – Barb Herbon “Freedom is not free.

Appreciate it!” – Henry Wohrley “Make the most of each day.” – June Byer “Look for the brighter side. It might be just around the corner.” – Ruth Chamberlain “The keys to effective relationships are gentleness and humility.” – Geraldine Cordell “I attribute my long and healthy life to thinking positively. Having patience and respect for all people has helped me live an optimistic life.” – John Rutt “Work hard, get along, do the best you can, and eat ice cream!” – Helen Koster “Enjoy life now! It has an expiration date.” – Dorothy Wimmer What great advice on attitude, health, happiness, relationships, and life in general.

We hope their grandchildren and greatgrandchildren take it to heart.

WASHINGTON SCOOP | CANDIDATE DEBATES

Format is highly debatable Fox, CNN, RNC martinSCHRAM Martin numbers game Schram politineeds to be fixed writes cal analysis There’s a former Republican National Committee chief who could teach his present-day successor, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus, why he, Fox News and CNN co-conspirators must urgently fix something they apparently don’t realize they’ve just flummoxed up.

Namely: Fox’s and CNN’s plans to use the virtually meaningless, way-too-early public opinion poll results to winnow the largest-ever field of Republican presidential candidates and select who will be allowed to participate in the campaign’s first two debates, in August and September.

At least 16 Republicans are expected to seek the 2016 GOP presidential nomination – and Priebus has made no secret that he considered the 2012 debates (20 events, most featuring large, unwieldy panels) “an embarrassment.”

So Priebus quickly gave his buck-passing blessing to the plans of the hosts of the first two debates, Fox and CNN, to limit the participants to only the top 10 candidates in the latest polls.

Both networks plan to

allow the lower-polling presidential hopefuls to be in a second panel that will debate later in the evening – a demeaning sort of debate that will be a politically akin to a tween being ordered to sit at the kiddie table for the family’s big Thanksgiving dinner.

CNN’s plan will require that participants in that second debate panel must score an average of at least 1 percent in the sampling of polls.

AT THIS VERY EARLY point in the presidential campaign, one recent New Hampshire poll placed four Republicans in low double digits and 11 hopefuls in single digits – many of them within the survey’s margin of error.

Yet, that list of left-outs doesn’t showcase just how mind-boggling this muck-up may really be.

To put it all into perspective, we need to recall the real-life campaign experience of the fellow who

served as RNC chairman from January 1973 to September 1974.

Eventually, you came to know him as “41.” But if today’s Fox/CNN/RNC plans were the rule back in 1980, you might never have known of George Herbert Walker Bush by any presidential numerology.

When the original Bush first ran for president in 1980, he’d been a congressman, United Nations ambassador, RNC chair and CIA director.

Poor George. When he first started campaigning in the 1980 Iowa caucus, he was at the bottom of a glittering GOP field that was led by Ronald Reagan and included Howard Baker, Bob Dole, John Connally, John Anderson and Phil Crane, among others.

The Gallup Poll had Bush listed at below 1 percent – so low, that he didn’t rate a number at all – just an asterisk. What you now know is that,

by CNN’s 1 percent rule, the TV Pooh-Bahs would have barred Bush from even being in CNN’s losers’ bowl (that second debate panel).

An old Washington Post clipping shows I wrote an analysis of how Bush was just a cipher in the Gallup Poll, but had gone into Iowa “with only his asterisk” and won the cam-

paign’s first caucus state.

(He’d won with some careful campaign craft: His aides bought up all available tickets to Iowa’s big Republican Party dinner, expecting the Des Moines Register would conduct a straw poll. The newspaper did. Bush won it, got a big front page headline and, with it, name recognition.)

EVEN THOUGH Reagan easily bested Bush in New Hampshire and beyond, Bush had become a big name – and ended 1980 as Reagan’s newly elected vice president.

Now that we’ve learned that lesson, here’s the solution Fox and CNN need to adopt and the RNC needs to endorse: By a random drawing, divide the field of the 16 or so bonafide GOP candidates into two panels. Have the first panel debate, then the second. Then bring all 16 on stage for a closing arguments finale.

Onward and upward.

MEDICAL DAY TRIP | SKOKIE HERITAGE MUSEUM

History at your feet Looking to learn while you burn some calories?

Skokie is a good place to start

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

SKOKIE – History and exercise go hand-inhand during a visit to the Skokie Heritage Museum and its neighborhood.

One option for people who want to stretch their legs is a guided Historic Downtown Skokie Walking Tour scheduled for 2-4 p.m.

June 14. Advance registration is required for the walk. Walkers will meet at Krier Plaza, at the southeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Oakton Street. The cost is $5 a person or $15 for a family (maximum of four). Go to register. skokieparks.org to sign up.

Krier Plaza is where the first store in town was opened by Henry Harms in 1858. The town was Niles Centre then. In keeping with his role as a founding father, he also built the Niles Centre Hotel and a tavern. The hotel, unfortunately, burned down in 1911.

To walk the tour at leisure, try the self-guided option any day of the week. Among the stops on the tour are the village green, the village hall, St. Peter United Church of Christ, the former Remke’s shoe store, and the 1877 Kindt House.

Stop No. 12 is the Historic Engine House and Log Cabin, now the Skokie Heritage Museum.

This former home of the Skokie Fire Department, which occupied it until 1969, was built in 1887. These days on the first floor, a permanent exhibit on firefighting is open. The second floor features the exhibit, “Skokie’s Journey Toward Cultural Diversity.” This starts with the first settlers and goes through the years to the city’s Festival of Cultures.

If you go ...

What: Skokie Heritage Museum Where: 8031 Floral Ave., Skokie When: Noon to 4 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday (Sunday hours are seasonal). Historic walking and bicycle tours, self-guided – anytime.

Cost: Free Information: skokieparks.org/skokie-heritage-museum or 847-674-1500 The 1847 log cabin is available for viewing if you ask at the museum. Outside are examples of prairie grasses and plants that would have been found in the 1840s. According to the walk’s brochure, the cabin was rescued from life as a chicken coop and shed. After being moved to its current location, its logs were put back together. The reconstruction was done with tools and materials similar to those used when it was first built, such as square nails and daubing, a mixture of straw, clay, lake sand, water, and horsehair used between the logs.

When it’s time for more exercise, the Skokie Historic Bicycle Tour awaits. The trail begins at the Emily Oaks Nature Center, 4650 Brummel St. The 21 stops feature highlights such as the 1869 St. Peter Catholic Church cemetery; the 1926 “L” station, now a Starbucks station; Lockwood Park; and Floral Avenue’s large homes.

Just remember, when the urge to move out of the past strikes, modern buildings and shops are just around the corner. And for those who prefer less exercise, a more leisurely visit is just as rewarding.

The Skokie Heritage Museum is housed in an former engine house, built in 1887. It was once the home of the fire department. Beside it is a log cabin, which also is open to the public upon request at the museum.

The Olympic champion revealed this week her new name is Caitlyn Jenner. She’s featured in an eight-episode series depicting her transition from a man to a woman that will debut July 26.

E! ramped up promotion Wednesday by releasing a video that depicts Jenner applying lipstick while sitting at a makeup table.

She says for the first time a professional had come in and applied makeup for her. She says, “What a difference.”

Jenner declares while driving near her California home, “I’m the new normal.”

Friend is stepping over the boundaries Dear Abby, I am 32 and need advice on setting personal boundaries in my relationships. Simply put, I have a guy friend who has feelings for me that I don’t have for him. We dated briefly. I broke it off, and we have continued as friends for 2 years.

He knows I’m not interested in an intimate relationship with him.

However, he has made it clear through words and behavior that he’s in love with me, almost to the point of obsession.

I feel he doesn’t respect my personal space. We argue – especially if he ends up crashing at my house after a night at the pub. I firmly tell him

advise me how to work on this.

– Pushover in Vancouver, Canada

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

he can only sleep on my couch, but he’ll weasel his way into my bed. I feel I’m enabling him in his clingy behavior because I don’t want to hurt his feelings.

I want to be able to act assertively with him and others. I want to stop being so passive, especially with men. Please

Dear Pushover, The man you describe appears to be under the impression that he can wear you down if he keeps at it long enough.

He isn’t interested in being your “friend”; he wants to be your lover.

Because you aren’t interested in him that way, quit allowing him to sleep at your place. If he becomes so drunk he can’t drive himself home, get him a taxi. Allowing him to sleep over and weasel himself into your bed sends him a mixed message, and that’s a mistake.

To create effective boundaries, you must be clear about the messages you send to others. What you appear to need to work on is the ability to say no. Try it. You’ll like it.

Dear Abby, I’m having a hard time with my dad. He treats me like a little kid and refuses to recognize that I’m an adult who can make my own decisions.

It makes it difficult for us to get along, and I have been spending less time with him because of it.

Abby, I am 40. I haven’t lived at home for more than 20 years. I’m married with kids and hold a responsible job, but he still sees me as a little girl. An example: He will

tell me how to do everyday tasks and remind me not to touch the stove or leave the lights on. In his mind, I never grew up.

It has always been this way with him. I have tried talking to him about it, but all he does is roll his eyes like I’m a teenager.

Dad is in his late 60s and I’d really like to have a relationship with him while he is still alive and healthy. Is there anything I can do to make him understand his perspective is skewed and he needs to change his behavior?

– Daddy’s Girl Dear Daddy’s Girl, At his age, you aren’t going to change your father. Your chances of

improving your relationship with him will be better if you change the way you react to what he’s doing, and realize he says the things he does because it’s part of what he thinks is a parent’s job. Once you see the humor in it, you’ll stop feeling defensive and resenting him. Trust me, it will go a long way toward your having the adult relationship with him that you crave.

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

WASHINGTON | NATIONAL SECURITY

China suspected in massive federal hack Official: Breach could affect all federal agencies WASHINGTON (AP) – China-based hackers are suspected of breaking into the computer networks of the U.S. government personnel office and stealing identifying information of at least 4 million federal workers, American officials said Thursday.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that data from the Office of Personnel Management and the Interior Department had been compromised.

“The FBI is conducting an investigation to identify how and why this occurred,” the statement said.

The hackers were believed to be based in China, said Sen. Susan Collins, a Maine Republican.

Collins, a member of the Senate intelligence

committee, said the breach was “yet another indication of a foreign power probing successfully and focusing on what appears to be data that would identify people with security clearances.”

A U.S. official, who declined to be named because he was not authorized to publicly discuss the data breach, said it could potentially affect every federal agency. One key question is whether intelligence agency employee information was stolen.

Former government employees are affected as well.

“This is an attack against the nation,” said Ken Ammon, chief strategy officer of Xceedium, who said the attack fit the pattern of those carried out by nation states for the purpose of espionage. The information stolen could be used to impersonate or blackmail federal employees with access to sensitive information, he said.

‘‘

[This breach is] yet another indication of a foreign power probing successfully and focusing on what appears to be data that would identify people with security clearances.

’’

Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine

The Office of Personnel Management is the human resources department for the federal government, and it conducts background checks for security clearances. The OPM conducts more than 90 percent of federal background investigations, according to its website.

The agency said it is offering credit monitoring and identity theft insurance for 18 months to individuals potentially affected. The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents workers in 31 federal agencies, said it is encouraging members to sign up for the monitoring as soon as possible.

In November, a former DHS contractor disclosed

WASHINGTON

another cyberbreach that compromised the private files of more than 25,000 DHS workers and thousands of other federal employees.

Cyber-security experts also noted that the OPM was targeted a year ago in a cyber-attack that was suspected of originating in China. In that case, authorities reported no personal information was stolen.

One expert said it’s possible that hackers could use information from government personnel files for financial gain. In a recent case disclosed by the IRS, hackers appear to have obtained tax return information by posing as taxpayers, using personal information gleaned from previous commer-

cial breaches, said Rick Holland, an information security analyst at Forrester Research.

“Given what OPM does around security clearances, and the level of detail they acquire when doing these investigations, both on the subjects of the investigations and their contacts and references, it would be a vast amount of information,” Holland added.

DHS said its intrusion detection system, known as EINSTEIN, which screens federal Internet traffic to identify potential cyber threats, identified the hack of OPM’s systems and the Interior Department’s data center, which is shared by other federal agencies.

It was unclear why the EINSTEIN system didn’t detect the breach until after so many records had been copied and removed.

“DHS is continuing to monitor federal networks for any suspicious activity and is working aggressively with the affected

agencies to conduct investigative analysis to assess the extent of this alleged intrusion,” the statement said.

Cybersecurity expert Morgan Wright of the Center for Digital Government, an advisory institute, said EINSTEIN “certainly appears to be a failure at this point.

The government would be better off outsourcing their security to the private sector where’s there at least some accountability.”

Rep. Adam Schiff, ranking Democrat on the House intelligence committee, called the hack “shocking, because Americans may expect that federal computer networks are maintained with state of the art defenses.”

Ammon said federal agencies are rushing to install two-factor authentication with smart cards, a system designed to make it harder for intruders to access networks.

But implementing that technology takes time.

Doctors don’t need to be told to follow guidelines, the Illinois State Medical Society insists.

The legislation “intrudes on the physician’s judgment and relationship with the patient, and doesn’t guarantee that patients who do test positive for this liver disease will have access to treatment, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars,” said Illinois State Medical Society President Dr. Scott Cooper.

IN BRIEF Governor grounds state planes SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Dozens of state employees and top Illinois officials will be affected

by Gov. Bruce Rauner’s decision to ground the state’s airplanes in an effort to save $3 million in the coming fiscal year.

This 1997 photo shows soldiers preparing to destroy a ballistic SS-19 missile in the yard of the largest former Soviet military rocket base in Vakulenchuk, Ukraine. The Obama administration is considering deploying land-based missiles in Europe that could pre-emptively destroy the Russian weapons.

U.S. might deploy missiles in Europe, counter Russia Russia denies violations, claims missteps by U.S. WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration is weighing a range of aggressive responses to Russia’s alleged violation of a Cold War-era nuclear treaty, including deploying land-based missiles in Europe that could preemptively destroy the Russian weapons.

This “counterforce” option is among possibilities the administration is considering as it reviews its entire policy toward Russia in light of Moscow’s military intervention in Ukraine, its annexation of Crimea and other actions the U.S. deems confrontational in Europe and beyond.

The options go so far as one implied – but not stated explicitly – that would improve the ability of U.S. nuclear weapons to destroy military targets on Russian territory.

It all has a certain Cold War ring, even if the White House ultimately decides to continue tolerating Russia’s alleged flight-testing of a groundlaunched cruise missile with a range prohibited by the treaty.

Russia denies violating the treaty and has, in turn, claimed violations by the United States in erecting missile defenses.

It is unclear whether Russia has actually deployed the suspect

missile or whether Washington would make any military move if the Russians stopped short of deployment. For now, administration officials say they prefer to continue trying to talk Moscow into treaty compliance.

In public, administration officials have used obscure terms like “counterforce” and “countervailing strike capabilities” to describe two of its military response options, apparently hoping to buy time for diplomacy.

The Pentagon declined to make a senior defense policy official available to discuss the issue. A spokesman, Lt. Col. Joe Sowers, said, “All the options under consideration are designed to ensure that Russia gains no significant military advantage from their violation.”

At his Senate confirmation hearing in February, Defense Secretary Ash Carter noted his concern about Russia’s alleged violation of the 1987 Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces, or INF, treaty. He said disregard for treaty limitations was a “two-way street” opening the way for the U.S. to respond in kind.

The standoff speaks volumes about the depths to which U.S.-Russia relations have fallen. And that poses problems not only for the Obama administration but also for the NATO alliance, whose members in east-

ern Europe are especially leery of allowing Russian provocations to go unanswered.

Western leaders are meeting Sunday and Monday for a G-7 summit – from which Russian President Vladimir Putin has been excluded – where Russian aggression will be a key topic. On Friday, Carter plans to meet in Germany with American defense and diplomatic officials to map out a counterstrategy to Russia’s military intervention in Ukraine and to reassure allies worried about Moscow. The treaty issue is not a specific agenda item for Carter, but aides said regional nuclear force issues could come up.

The U.S. and its Western partners have tried to use economic and diplomatic leverage against Putin on a range of conflicts, including Ukraine.

But they also recognize that Moscow still plays an important role in international affairs, including the nuclear talks with Iran that are among President Barack Obama’s highest foreign policy priorities.

The administration is considering three options for responding militarily to Russian missile treaty violations: defenses to stop a treaty-violating missile, the “counterforce” option to attack a missile preemptively and the “countervailing strike capabilities” option that implies the potential use of nuclear forces.

Try two finesses or one endplay?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Benjamin Franklin said, “One today is worth two tomorrows.”

In bridge, banking everything on one chance is rarely better than having two possibilities to make the contract – but not always.

Today, how should South play in six diamonds after West leads the spade queen?

In this auction, North makes a three-diamond game-invitational limit raise.

But if you and your partner prefer inverted minor-suit raises, do not abandon them.

Although you might have an occasional uncomfortable initial response, they are good in the long run.

However, make sure you

agree whether they are forcing to two no-trump or three of the minor. Each has pluses and minuses.

South has two possible club losers.

He could take two club fi-

nesses; the mathematicians will tell you that this will hold the club losers to one 76 percent of the time.

But it would be better to have a 100 percent line.

How about this approach?

Win with the spade ace, ruff a spade high, play a diamond to dummy’s 10 (noting that both opponents follow suit), ruff the last spade, cash the heart ace, lead the heart four to dummy’s king, and play a club to the jack.

Yes, West wins with his queen, but what does he do next?

If he leads a club, it is away from his king into South’s ace-10 tenace.

Or, if West returns a spade or heart, declarer ruffs in the dummy and discards his club 10.

It is a textbook elimination and endplay. © 2015 UFS

James Boysen is interviewed Wednesday in his Houston Methodist Hospital hospital bed in Houston. Texas doctors say he received the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first skull and scalp transplant from a human donor to help heal a large head wound from cancer treatment.

Texas doctors transplant skull Cancer patient â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in aweâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of first surgery of its kind The Associated Press

Opening a new frontier in transplant surgery, Texas doctors have done the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first partial skull and scalp transplant to help a man who suffered a large head wound from cancer treatment.

Doctors from Houston Methodist Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center did the operation 2 weeks ago.

The recipient â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jim Boysen, a 55-year-old software developer from Austin, Texas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; expected to leave the hospital Thursday with a new kidney and pancreas, along with the scalp and skull grafts. He said he was stunned at how well doctors matched him to a donor with similar skin and hair coloring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of shocking, really, how good they got it. I will have way more hair than when I was 21,â&#x20AC;?

Boysen joked in an interview with The Associated Press.

Last year, doctors in the Netherlands said they replaced most of a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skull with a 3-D printed plastic one.

The Texas operation is thought to be the first skull-scalp transplant from a human donor, as opposed to an artificial implant or a simple bone graft.

Boysen had a kidney-

pancreas transplant in 1992 to treat diabetes he has had since age 5 and has been on drugs to prevent organ rejection.

The immune suppression drugs raise the risk of cancer, and he developed a rare type â&#x20AC;&#x201C; leiomyosarcoma.

It can affect many types of smooth muscles but in his case, it was the ones under the scalp that make your hair stand on end when something gives you the creeps.

Radiation therapy for the cancer destroyed part of his head, immune suppression drugs kept his body from repairing the damage, and his transplanted organs were starting to fail â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;a perfect storm that made the wound not heal,â&#x20AC;?

Boysen said.

Yet doctors could not perform a new kidneypancreas transplant as long as he had an open wound. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when Dr. Jesse Selber, a reconstructive plastic surgeon at MD Anderson, thought of giving him a new partial skull and scalp at the same time as new organs as a solution to all of his problems.

In a 15-hour operation by about a dozen doctors and 40 other health workers, Boysen was given a cap-shaped, 10-by10-inch skull graft, and a 15-inch-wide scalp graft starting above his forehead, extending across the top of his head and over its crown. It ends an inch above one ear and 2 inches above the other.

High energy at Comets’ hot corner Newman’s Stevens prefers keeping busy

For the second weekend in a row, Fulton’s Trey Simmons (right) and Michael Dixon will be participating in a state tournament. Last weekend, it was at the 1A state track & field meet in Charleston. Starting today, the two will play for the Steamers in the 1A baseball state tournament.

State sequel

Jenna Stevens’ long-term goal is to either become a physical trainer or enter the pharmacy field.

With her energy, she might just try doing both.

The Newman senior third baseman, who will be taking her considerable talents to Illinois State University next fall, isn’t one for resting.

“I keep pretty busy,” Stevens shrugged while the Comets readied for practice behind her on Wednesday at Newman High School. “I like it that way, though.”

SYCAMORE – The Rock Falls baseball team went up against its mirror image in the Class 3A Sycamore Sectional semifinals on Thursday.

Turns out it was almost like a funhouse mirror – but the Rockets weren’t having any fun.

Wheaton St. Francis pounded out 18 hits against three Rocket pitchers, capping a 19-1, fiveinning win with a 12-run fourth inning in which 15 Spartan hitters went to the plate.

“That team swung the bats, and they swung them hard,” Rock Falls sophomore Logan Pillars said. “Hitting is contagious, and some days your bats are on, and some days they’re not; obviously their bats were on today, and ours were off.

They were very good at the plate, and they pounded the ball.

“That’s a good team allaround, and I can say it’s one All nine Spartans in the start- team that came out and beat Philip Marruffo/pmarruffo@saukvalley.com ing lineup had at least one hit us.

Cubs bleachers to add concessions The Cubs got the goahead from the city Thursday to install new concession stands in the bleachers at Wrigley Field as part of the renovation of the outfield seating area.

Appearing before the Permit Review Committee of the Commission on Chicago Landmarks, team officials said they plan to install two new permanent concession areas.

Four more “portable concession stands” also are in the works.

Astros to remove hill in center field The Houston Astros are planning to get rid of Tal’s Hill, the quirky little elevated hill in deep center field at Minute Maid Park.

The club’s $15 million renovation plan has been approved by the Harris County-Houston Sports Authority, which also includes bringing in the fences in center field.

At present, the center field wall sits a mammoth 436 feet from home plate.

The changes would bring the fences in to approximately 409 feet.

NBA

Bucks want taxpayer money for new arena Taxpayers would foot half the cost of a new $500 million arena for the Milwaukee Bucks under a financial deal that would rely on current and former team owners for the rest, Gov. Scott Walker said Thursday.

Walker, a likely presidential candidate, has argued for months that it will cost the state more in lost income-tax revenue if the NBA moves the team from Milwaukee than it will to pay for a new downtown arena.

COMMENTARY | BLACKHAWKS

Teuvo has that Finnish touch T AMPA –His 6-week playoff beard constitutes some stubble surrounding a wisp of a mustache, if you can call it that.

A pimple on Teuvo Teravainen’s cheek reminds you he’s not that far removed from adolescence. His boyish face belies the man Teravainen has become for the Blackhawks this postseason, growth confirmed Wednesday night at Amalie Arena in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final.

The 20-year-old from Finland delivered a goal and an assist in the final 6 minutes, 32 seconds of a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over a Lightning team undone by the Hawks’ own quick-strike offense.

“Pretty amazing,” Teravainen said of the rally.

“Great teams do that.”

After looking anything but great for 53 minutes, the Hawks scored two goals in 118 seconds to steal the win.

The first came when Teravainen unleashed a shot from the left point that sneaked past goalie Ben Bishop, who was screened by Marcus Kruger.

“That goal had eyes,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

Cooper only wanted to look away a few shifts later when, with 4:34 remaining, Antoine Vermette hit the bar and the puck bounced in

This is why the Hawks answer questions about NHL dynasties and their own invincibility. This is why they don’t worry when everyone else frets, why their heart rate remains normal while everybody else’s skips a beat. They find a way. Whether their stars or secondary scorers come through in the clutch, somebody always finds a way.

Suffice to say that Teravainen and Vermette, benched for Game 3 of the Western Conference finals, won’t lose their spots in this series.

They combined to win a game that didn’t go as many anticipated.

NCAA hits UNC with five violations The NCAA has charged North Carolina with five violations connected to the school’s long-running academic fraud scandal, including a lack of institutional control for poor oversight of an academic department popular with athletes.

The school released a 59-page notice of allegations on Thursday that it received from the NCAA. All five charges are considered Level I violations, described by the NCAA as a “severe breach of conduct.”

Serena Williams returns in her semifinal match of the French Open against Timea Bacsinszky at the Roland Garros in Paris, France on Thursday. Williams won and advanced to the finals.

Ill Williams powers through semis U.S. star comes back again at French Open to reach final

BY HOWARD FENDRICH AP Sports Writer

PARIS – At changeovers in her French Open semifinal, an ill Serena Williams walked ever so slowly to the sideline, where even lowering herself to sit seemed difficult.

With the temperature nearing 85 degrees, she pressed white towels filled with ice against her forehead and neck and guzzled water.

Early on, her play was as poor as her health. She failed to chase balls she normally would. As telling as anything: On those occasions when she did win points, Williams mostly refrained from her familiar fist pumps and yells of “Come on!”

Never can count her out, though, no matter the circumstances. Down a set and a break Thursday, and clearly not herself, Williams summoned the resolve to reach the final by beating 23rd-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 4-6, 6-3, 6-0.

After getting broken to fall behind 3-2 in the second set, Wil-

Serena Williams (1), United States, def. Timea Bacsinszky (23), Switzerland, 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. liams claimed the final 10 games.

She had a 12-2 edge in winners in the final set.

“Stunning,” said Williams’ coach, Patrick Mouratoglou.

“This is the difference between champions and everyone else.

There is no logical explanation.”

Mouratoglou said the No. 1-ranked Williams has been dealing for several days with the flu, including a fever and difficulty breathing.

Williams skipped her news conference – something sister Venus did after losing last week, drawing a $3,000 fine – and issued a statement reading: “I have been feeling unwell for a few days, and ... I needed to see the tournament doctor.”

Now one victory from her third French Open championship and 20th major title in all, Williams faces 13th-seeded Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic on Saturday.

“I tried everything. I thought if I lose, I will lose with a fight,” Williams told the crowd in French. “I tried, I tried. I found the energy. I don’t know where, but I found it.

And I won. I hope that on Saturday, I hope ...”

Cutting herself off, she stepped away from the microphone, bent over and began coughing. She offered a quick wave, collected her things and left. Off the court, she got a hug from Mouratoglou, who helped her down stairs toward the locker room.

“I was worried,” said Williams’ mother, Oracene Price. “But I knew if she could get through the second set, somehow maybe the adrenaline and God would help her get through the match.”

Next comes Williams’ 24th Grand Slam final, and Safarova’s first. In her statement, Williams called herself “determined to be 100 percent ready.”

Warriors slam down Game 1 James scores 44, but Cavs muster only 2 points in OT

BY ANTONIO GONZALEZ AP Basketball Writer

Home run

OAKLAND, Calif. – After an 8-day break, the NBA’s top teams and biggest stars put on quite a show.

Only one kept it up for 53 minutes.

Stephen Curry had 26 points and eight assists, and the Golden State Warriors held off LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers for a thrilling 108-100 overtime victory in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.

In the finals for the first time in 40 years, the Warriors gave their long-suffering fans quite a treat.

They rallied from an early 14-point deficit, absorbed a finals-best 44 points from James, and shut down Cleveland in the extra session.

James shot 18 of 38 from the field and had eight rebounds and six assists in 46 minutes. But the fourtime MVP missed a long jumper at the end of regulation, and Cleveland missed its first eight shots of overtime.

“We got to do more around him,” Cavs coach David Blatt said.

Adding to the Cavs’ frustration, point guard Kyrie Irving limped to the locker room after aggravating his troublesome left knee in overtime. He did not return.

Blatt had no immediate update on Irving’s status.

Game 2 is Sunday in Oakland.

There were 13 lead changes and 11 ties in a game tightly contested across the board. There was little edge in shooting (Warriors 44.3 percent, Cavaliers 41.5 percent), rebounding (Warriors 48, Cavs 45) or assists (Warriors 24, Cavs 19).

• Golden State is 47-3 at home this season, including 8-1 in the playoffs.

In the end, it came down to the biggest stars making plays – or not.

James and Curry carried their clubs through the fourth quarter, trading scores and assists in a back-andforth duel. Both also had a chance to win the game in regulation.

Curry, the current MVP, beat Irving off the dribble and moved in for the go-ahead layup. Instead, Irving blocked Curry from behind, J.R. Smith came up with the rebound and the Cavs called a timeout with 24.1 seconds left.

James, trying to end Cleveland’s 51-year championship drought, dribbled down the clock and missed a contested jumper over Andre Iguodala just inside the left arc, and Iman Shumpert’s desperation shot nearly rimmed in at the buzzer, sending a collective sigh through the crowd.

The Cavs never came so close again.

Curry drew two deep shooting fouls at the start of overtime and made all four free throws, and Harrison Barnes hit a corner 3 just in front of the Cavs bench to give Golden State a 105-98 lead with 2:02 to play and sent the crowd screaming at full throat.

Irving, who finished with 23 points, seven rebounds and six assists, limped to the bench trying to shake off his troublesome left leg after the play. He was replaced

by Matthew Dellavedova.

The Warriors went ahead 108-98 on free throws with 1:16 to play.

James’ layup with 8.9 seconds left accounted for Cleveland’s only points in overtime.

James, who missed three shots and had two turnovers in overtime, walked off the court in frustration as time expired.

Both teams got through their early jitters and both stars were in full force.

James swished shots inside and out, looking calm and cool on basketball’s biggest stage to guide the Cavaliers to a 29-15 lead late in the first quarter. But the Cavs scored just two points in 4 minutes without James to start the second quarter as the Warriors came rolling back behind Marreese Speights and their second unit.

Curry returned and connected on his first 3-pointer with 4:21 remaining in the quarter, a quick-trigger release over James Jones in the left corner to even the score at 36-all. Curry stopped and stared at the crowd, giving a high-five to a fan in the front row, and followed with a series of scintillating shots.

But Smith turned in the final highlight of the half. His third 3-pointer – from 29 feet – in the final seconds put Cleveland up 51-48.

James carried Cleveland through a thrilling third quarter, but neither team could pull away. Iguodala’s emphatic dunk tied the score at 73-all heading to the fourth, and 48 minutes turned out not to be enough to settle this one.

MLB ROUNDUP

Early runs all Arrieta, Cubs need White Sox drop series to Rangers with 11-inning heartbreaker By the Associated Press

Arrieta pitched six strong innings, and the Chicago Cubs made a pair of first-inning runs hold up as they defeated the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Thursday night in Washington D.C. Arrieta (5-4) rebounded from a pair of subpar outings, pitching six innings and giving up a run and six hits. Hector Rondon pitched the ninth for his 10th save.

Washington’s Anthony Rendon, who missed 53 games due to injuries, had two hits in his season debut. He was up with runners on first and second and two outs in the ninth when Cubs catcher David Ross picked off Clint Robinson at first to end it.

Bryce Harper drove in a run with a sixth-inning groundout, snapping an 18-inning scoreless streak for Washington.

Gio Gonzalez (4-3) allowed two runs and four hits over six innings.

He struck out six and tied a season high with four walks.

Rangers 2, White Sox 1, 11 inn.: Shin-soo Choo’s

single beat the Chicago White Sox and their defensive shift, sending

the Texas Rangers to an 11-inning win in Arlington, Texas.

Leonys Martin led off the inning with his third single and moved to second on Hanser Alberto’s sacrifice. Choo grounded the ball to the right of Chicago shortstop Alexei Ramirez, who was shifted toward second base.

Dan Jennings (1-2) was the losing pitcher.

The win went to Tanner Scheppers (2-0).

White Sox rookie lefthander Carlos Rodon struck out a career-high 10 batters in six innings.

He allowed one run, five hits and three walks.

Texas starter Yovani Gallardo gave up three hits, two walks and an unearned run in his six innings.

Cardinals lead late:

St. Louis led the Dodgers 7-1 heading into the ninth inning during their game in Los Angeles.

Kolten Wong had a double and two RBIs for the Cardinals, while Jason Heyward added two RBIs. Michael Wacha pitched seven innings and allowed seven hits, one earned run and struck out five.

The game ended after SVM’s print deadline.

St. Francis strings hits together IMAGE

CONTINUED FROM B1 The approach St. Francis (24-9) took is a carbon copy of the one the Rockets (23-11-1) take.

The Spartans were patient during at-bats until they got fastballs over the plate, and they turned many of them around for hits – a lot of them for extra bases.

St. Francis had eight doubles – three from leadoff hitter Tim Lilly – and ripped three home runs, including back-to-back jacks from Mike Beach and Foster Heise to cap the scoring in the dozenrun fourth.

Jake Radel had two of his four hits, and four of his six RBIs in that inning, opening the scoring with a two-run homer before adding a two-run single later on. He scored on Beach’s three-run shot over the bleachers in left field, before Heise hit a solo shot just over the wall in right-center.

“Our coaches have been harping on us all year to be tough outs one through nine in the lineup,” Radel said, “and we did that today. At the start, I think we were a little nervous, but we just relied on our instincts, and they worked well for us today.”

Rock Falls started off well, as Reid Akerman led off the game by reaching on a hit by pitch. A Clay Velazquez single put runners on second and third before Jake Mammosser’s fielder’s choice gave the Rockets runners on the corners with two outs.

Pillars followed with a ringing single through the left side to drive in Akerman for a quick 1-0 lead.

But it was all St. Francis after that. Radel followed Brett Whelton’s RBI single with a two-run double in

a three-run bottom of the first, then the Spartans took control in the third.

Heise drew a two-out walk on a borderline fullcount pitch, then Tim Sullivan’s RBI single made it 4-1. Lilly followed with a two-run double, then scored later in the inning on a throwing error after Jason Sullivan’s infield single.

“They were a lot more aggressive than we were today, and they took advantage when they got into hitters’ counts,” said Rock Falls coach Donnie Chappell, who coached with a heavy heart after the death of his father, Jack, on Wednesday. “It was a situation where they were better than us, and that’s just the way it is sometimes. We got beat by a better team today.”

St. Francis starter Theo Lamperis wasn’t overpowering, but he kept the Rockets off-balance all game long. He gave up just four hits and one walk in four innings, and even though he recorded only one strikeout, he pitched to contact and let his defense make plays behind him.

With Rock Falls threatening in the top of the fourth, he left runners stranded on first and second with a strikeout and a flyout to keep the Spartans’ lead at 7-1, and set up the clinching outburst in the bottom of the frame.

“We’re big on shutdown innings,” first-year St. Francis coach Nicholas Hall said. “When we score in one half-inning, we demand that the guys not give up a run in the next half-inning. We want to win every inning – if we give up one run, we want to get two the next time up – and if we win all seven, we’ll win the game.”

ABOVE: Rock Falls’ Donnie Chappell embraces his players after Thursday’s 19-1, five-inning loss to Wheaton St. Francis at the 3A Sycamore Sectional. Chappell coached the game a day after his father, Jack Chappell, died. The game helped Coach Chappell escape from his emotions for a few hours.

BELOW: Rock Falls’ Nolan Moeller hits a single during Thursday’s loss in Sycamore.

Game provides brief escape S

YCAMORE – The nature of sports has a way of bringing out emotions.

Players can feel excitement after a hitting home run, scoring a touchdown, or crossing the finish line first. The feeling of devastation can come with close losses.

But what sports can also provide is an escape for whatever is going on outside the lines.

For about 3 hours on Thursday, Rock Falls baseball coach Donnie Chappell was right where he needed to be. In Sycamore, tapping infield dirt off his shoes.

The Rockets coach, in his 16th season, stood on the infield, bat in hand, slugging grounders to his infielders as the Rockets prepared for their 3A Sycamore Sectional semifinal game against St. Francis.

Chappell’s father, Jack, 65, died Wednesday at his home. And, for the longtime coach and his players, Thursday’s baseball game was the perfect prescription for healing.

“We wanted to leave it all on the field,” Rock Falls junior Nolan Moeller said. “We wanted to do it for him.

We know that baseball is his escape, and we wanted to use this time to get him away from it all. Away from those thoughts in his head.”

While Rock Falls couldn’t escape a 19-1 loss to the hot-hitting Spartans, the Rockets did succeed in giving their coach a chance to enjoy the game of baseball one more time this season.

Chappell smiled and talked with players between infield practice reps, coached third base like always, and delivered words of encouragement to his pitchers from his perch along the dugout railing.

“That was a big thing for me. He was there no matter what. He wasn’t going to tell me how to field a ground ball, but he was going to make sure if I didn’t run hard, I was going to be in trouble.”

On Thursday, it was the Rockets’ turn to be there for their coach.

They ran hard despite the double-digit deficit, and battled at the plate.

And as the team broke their huddle in right field after the loss, the players took turns hugging their coach.

“He loves the game,” sophomore Logan Pillars said. “He’s always been around the game, and we know he has a lot of fun with it, and that’s what we wanted to do as well. Just go out and play some baseball, and enjoy the game for what it is – an escape.”

expects to continue doing it through college and beyond, as just another way to stay connected to the game.

“I think I’ll always do it,” Stevens said. “I love this game. I got into it because of my sister [Kayla Stevens], and I just never want to stop being around it.”

If that wasn’t enough, she also has started a new job – writing blogs for a company called Meet Advisors. She writes reviews of companies and the services they offer.

“I’ve only done one so far,” Stevens said. “But

I liked it, and I am definitely going to be doing some more this summer.

I got that job through my sister, too.”

She has all this stuff in her mind while manning the hot corner for the Comets and batting in the third spot.

It hasn’t slowed her this season. She has a team-best .521 batting average with 2 home runs, 21 doubles and 43 RBIs. “Her, Julie [Hurd] and Mady [Ferris] have been so good at the top of our lineup this year,” pitcher and No. 4 hitter Lakyn

Waldschmidt said. “When I get to the plate, it’s not unusual for us to already to have a run, or for there to be a couple runners on base.

“As a pitcher, I know how tough it can be when teams get hits right away. Jenna just has been locked in all season, and it makes the rest of our jobs easier.

You can see why she’s going to be a D-I player, and it makes me see what I need to do to get to the same level.”

Stevens attributes some of her success to the workouts sent to her from

ISU to get her ready for college ball. She does the workouts three times a week, which includes lifting, running, and recently she has added biking to the mix.

It’s all contributed to the Comets’ state run, and she’ll have that frontand-center in her mind today and Saturday, as she hopes to bring back a state title.

“It’s really awesome, and we are all really excited to go,” Stevens said.

“It’s all the better because it’s my senior year, and I can always say that I was a part of this.”

they’re the defending state champions, this isn’t going to be easy,’” said Dixon, who injured a shoulder in the game, but is expecting to play at state. “Especially in the first inning, we’re down 3-0 after a home run. We’re thinking, ‘Oh crap, what are we going to do?’”

What the Steamers did was bury the Chargers. Fulton (21-8) rapped out 12 hits in just four turns at-bat, including a three-run homer by Ballard to highlight a five-run second, on its way to a 17-4 win.

“We just played our game,” Simmons said. “It was almost as if we had nothing to lose. We weren’t the defending state champs, we didn’t have to prove that. It’s the first time we’ve been there, and we just played our game.”

Astrograph Change is in the air Friday June 5, 2015 Once you have pinpointed the factors that will move you forward, take action. Indecision and self-doubt will delay your progress and ruin your plans.

Improvements you make to your skills and knowledge will heighten your professional goals and personal image, opening doors to a leadership position.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Stay on top of your personal files. Unless you are fully aware of your financial position, you won’t be able to take advantage of a proposal. Preparation will give you the upper hand.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Share your thoughts and feelings with those closest to you. It’s easy to take others for granted if you become too busy.

Let your loved ones know you are appreciative.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -If you don’t ask, you won’t receive. Make everyone aware of what you are doing, and muster support. Trying to do too much on your own will lead to disappointment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don’t let a negative or critical person prevent you from doing

the things you love. Being inspired and involved in exciting projects will be your revenge.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Take time off to pamper yourself and do things you enjoy. You will feel revived and ready to take on twice as much when you are well rested. Don’t disregard your needs.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Love is on the rise. It’s possible that you have been given false information. You will need to get to the bottom of a questionable situation before making an important personal decision.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Change is in the air. Take an objective look at a deteriorating partnership. If the results are not what you expect or deserve, consider making changes or moving on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Mixing business with pleasure will lead to problems.

Your charisma is strong and will spur a situation that can have negative effects on your work and productivity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.

19) -- Patience and understanding will help ease discord. If something is not progressing, work as a team player to repair matters. Placing blame will only escalate an already volatile situation.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Join an organization that enables you to meet prospective partners.

Brainstorming with like-minded people will enhance your social network. Business events or seminars figure prominently in your quest to get ahead.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Prosperity is within reach, but it is imperative that you do your own research. You will regret moving too quickly on an appealing but risky venture.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Try something different.

Interesting friendships are bound to develop once you move out of your current circle.

Explore diverse venues in your community or take a jaunt to an inspiring destination.
