MORRISON – Windsor Manor Assisted Living Community will tentatively open on July 15, but the public will get a sneak peek on Saturday.

Although construction crews are still at work, the new facility, at 403 Scenic St., will be open for tours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Windsor Manor has 30 assisted living apartments in addition to The Gardens, a 10-unit area for residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairment issues.

“This is the first and only memory care offering in Morrison,” said Danielle Vance, executive director at Windsor Manor. “Everything is tailored to their needs – activities, food, atmosphere – and there is a private enclosed courtyard.”

DIXON – The 29,000 real estate tax bills recently mailed to Lee County property owners should return about $57 million, the county treasurer said.

Once collected, the money will be distributed to Lee County governmental agencies, like cities and school districts, county Treasurer John Fritts said.

The taxes are payable in two installments – due July 11 and Sept. 5 – but for the first time, Lee County residents will be able to make weekly or monthly payments, Fritts said.

The new payment options address a need, he said, as some Illinois counties consider moving from two installments to four.

Allowing for payments on a weekly or monthly basis could be a middle ground to increasing the installments, Fritts said, something he doesn’t support.

He fears that increased installments would drag out the collection to a year-round process.

The tax bills were mailed May 29, Fritts said, and if residents haven’t received them by now, they should call the county treasurer’s office. Failure to receive a bill doesn’t exempt property owners from consequences of nonpayment.

PAYMENTS CONTINUED ON A4

Windsor Manor tours

CONTINUED FROM A1

Engineering and technical firm HR Green designs, builds, owns and operates Windsor Manor properties, including the one in Morrison. Senior living communities are only one facet of the firm’s diverse book of business.

HR Green is working on everything from public works and alternative energy projects to the Wrigley Field expansion in Chicago.

At first, Windsor Manor will hire 15 to 20 full- and part-time staff. Vance reported more than 200 applicants for the jobs.

A registered nurse is on call 24/7, and a secondshift licensed practical nurse will be on duty, Vance said. “Assisted living clientele doesn’t need a nurse 24/7, but we do have resident assistance around the clock,�

Vance said. “All of our staff will be crosstrained so that they can jump into any situation.�

Vance said she wants to make Windsor Manor a very visible and vital part of the community. “We’ll have an activity director, but it won’t be typical nursing home activities,� Vance said. “We will be out and about in the community.

It’s my goal for us to be an extension of the community.�

The activities schedule will include Clinton LumberKings baseball

Windsor Manor is a new assisted living home in Morrison. games and restaurant, theater and museum outings, Vance said.

Vance, who is the wife of Morrison schools Superintendent Scott Vance, said she wants some interactions with students, too. “I plan to use my connection at the schools,�

Vance said. “I’m a big fan of intergenerational activities.�

Pets are allowed at Windsor Manor, which can make a smoother transition to assisted living, Vance believes. “This is a big decision and big lifestyle change,� Vance said. “How can you tell them they can’t bring their best friend?�

HR Green finds the rural demographic appealing, and Morrison came up in the firm’s market analysis as having a need for assisted living services.

Although aging baby boomers are a booming business, health care projects can be underappreciated for

the direct impact they have on overall quality of life.

Whiteside County economic development officials understand the importance of the many pieces to the amenities puzzle that is key to bringing in bigger jobs producers.

Betty Steinert, economic development administrator for Whiteside County, was closely involved in the Windsor Manor project, making it possible to get some incentives for the developer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The property they wanted to locate on was not in the [Whiteside-Carroll] enterprise zone,â&#x20AC;? Steinert said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have the ability to add property for special situations, so we wrote the application last summer, and submitted it to DCEO for approval.â&#x20AC;?

Steinert said the project met the job-creation requirements, and the nearly $4 million project easily eclipsed the requirement for

Approval for enterprise zone inclusion came in August. Windsor Manor is now eligible for a sales tax exemption on the building materials, and a 5-year real estate abatement on improvements made after the first assessment is made.

Preliminary estimates put the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual property tax at $90,000.

But Steinert understands that this type of project brings much more to a community than an additional corporate taxpayer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t emphasize enough how important these quality-of-life projects are,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not everyone has family nearby to take care of them as they get older.

Many of the residents here will still be active in the community, but these facilities will alleviate a lot of the work and stress for families as the baby boomers get older.â&#x20AC;?

Bait shop hooks zoning change Back-to-back special meetings expedite process

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

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It took a little longer than anticipated, but owners of a local fishing gear store can add the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;live bait shopâ&#x20AC;? to the signage.

After back-to-back special meetings of the Plan Commission and City Council on Thursday, a zoning amendment was passed to allow Shannon and Heidi Scalise to sell live bait â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just in time for this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cabelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s King Kat Tournament in Dixon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been a long process â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 2 months in the making,â&#x20AC;? Heidi Scalise said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very happy with the end result.â&#x20AC;?

The Scalises own and operate the Fine Line Body Art studio and the fishing busi-

ness in the former Sauk Medical Clinic building at 705 W. Third St. Shannon makes custom fishing rods, and the couple wanted to expand the fishing venture by bringing live bait into the shop.

A seemingly simple request became ensnared in an oddity of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s antiquated zoning code.

The building has a B-2-1 zoning designation, which by definition, would be fine for the expanded use. Decades ago, however, someone felt it was important to specifically cite live bait shops among the uses in a B-3 district, a zoning designation for more intensive use.

The owners were told by the city they would have to file a petition to the Plan Commission for a zoning change to accommodate the live bait, which they did in early April.

On May 15, the Plan Commission tabled the request to rezone to B-3. The commission decided that amending the B-1-1 zoning district to allow

live bait shops as a permitted use would be a better option.

The amendment also would allow live bait shops in a B-2-1 area.

But without special meetings, the earliest the new request could have been approved was at the June 16 City Council meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; too late for the big fishing tournament.

The special Plan Commission meeting was set for June 5, and at Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s council meeting, Heidi Scalise asked for a special

Lincoln statue likely to move to Jefferson Statue depicts young Abraham Lincoln reading

DIXON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The statue of a young Abraham Lincoln reading a book, which now sits in the Lincoln Elementary School building, is headed across town.

Wednesday was the final day of classes at Lincoln, which the Dixon School Board voted in December to close to address the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget deficit.

The board wants to keep the statue in the district, Superintendent Michael Juenger said, and plans call for it to move to Jefferson Elementary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are considering a couple of places [to put the statue], either at the front entrance or in the library,â&#x20AC;? he said in an email.

Dixon is closing the south-side school and will be busing students to Jefferson Elementary School next school year. The statue will be moving to Jefferson, as well.

The Plan Commission on Thursday voted to withdraw the first petition that had been tabled to give the business B-3 designation. The recommendation to amend the B-1-1 district to allow live bait shop as a permitted use was approved 6-0.

Joe Martin, one of four aldermen at the special council meeting, conducted the meeting in the absence of Mayor Skip Lee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would like to thank the Plan Commission, Amanda [Schmidt], and the council members here tonight so we could help someone go forward with their business efforts,â&#x20AC;?

ILLINOIS

Budget has agencies in limbo Plan puts off crucial decisions until after November election SPRINGFIELD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Illinois state agencies are restricting spending and bracing for the worst after lawmakers approved a budget that uses accounting gimmicks and punts on crucial decisions about where to find revenue until after the November election.

The $35.7 billion spending plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1 keeps most funding flat after Democrats_ who hold supermajorities in both chambers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find enough votes to extend the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s temporary income tax increase before adjourning for the session last week.

That optionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still on the table after the November election, when lawmakers will face heightened pressure to find additional funds in the next year or cut at least $4.4 billion in expenses, forcing layoffs, facility closures and massive program cuts.

But for now, agencies are preparing to adopt a so-called â&#x20AC;&#x153;maintenance planâ&#x20AC;? under a budget which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allocate enough money to cover expenses, uses special funds for day-to-day operations and banks on future increases in reve-

A construction worker walks through the rotunda at the Illinois State Capitol on Thursday in Springfield. The halls of the state Capitol have been quiet since lawmakers left last week after approving an election-year budget that Democrats say is â&#x20AC;&#x153;incompleteâ&#x20AC;? and Republicans have called â&#x20AC;&#x153;phony,â&#x20AC;? leaving everyone from Illinoisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; prison authorities to historic agency officials scratching their heads as to what exactly comes next. nue that might not materialize. The uncertainty of receiving more tax dollars means, for example, the state has funds to repurpose a shuttered state prison, but not to staff it. Several state historic sites could close, at least temporarily.

Gov. Pat Quinn â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who has called the budget â&#x20AC;&#x153;incompleteâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said this week that he will â&#x20AC;&#x153;work to minimize the impact

But as the legislation makes its way to the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desk, where it awaits the Chicago Democratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature or the use of his veto pen to amend portions of it within 60 days, state agencies, schools and social service providers are operating in a state of limbo.

VA chief: More left off list have died Unknown if 18 deaths tied to long wait times WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; An additional 18 veterans in the Phoenix area whose names were kept off an official electronic Veterans Affairs appointment list have died, the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acting secretary said Thursday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the latest revelation in a growing scandal over long patient waits for care and falsified records covering up the delays at VA hospitals and clinics nationwide.

Acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said he does not know whether the 18 new deaths were related to long waiting times for appointments but said they were in addition to the 17 reported last month by the VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspector general. The announcement of the deaths came as senior senators reached agreement Thursday on the framework for a bipartisan bill making it easier for veterans to get health care outside VA hospitals and clinics.

The 18 veterans who died were among 1,700 veterans identified in a report last week by the VAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspector general as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;at risk of being lost or forgotten.â&#x20AC;? The investigation also found broad and deep-seated problems with delays in patient care and manipulation of waiting lists

ILLINOIS

Riding for a reason Local nativeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lake-to-Gulf trek to raise money for Boys Scouts

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com

EXT

STERLING â&#x20AC;&#x201C; At 9 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock this morning, Sterling native Rick Lerma will dip the back tire of his road bike into Lake Michigan. Nine days later, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dip the front tire into the Gulf of Mexico.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the plan, anyway, but as he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;anything can happenâ&#x20AC;? on the 900-mile trek, which starts at Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Navy Pier and ends on June 14 in Long Beach, Mississippi.

Lerma, 43, started cycling seriously in 2009, he says, but before then, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been a longtime fan of commuting to and from work on his mountain bike.

Then, on one of his commutes, he was in Tennessee, biking up a steep hill in almost100-degree heat and humidity, when he realized that he was going so slow that mosquitoes werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t only able to land on him, but they could bite him, too.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when he ditched the mountain bike for a road bike.

Since then, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participated in races and solo rides throughout the country, some longer than others. But this 900mile journey will be the longest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an adventure, and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to turn out,â&#x20AC;? says Lerma, who calls Charlotte, North Carolina, home.

So, howâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s he feeling? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if excited is the word,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready. You have anticipation.â&#x20AC;?

He was on a long-distance ride in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, when two different people walked up to him to ask which charity he was riding for. At the time, the answer was none. If you ask him now, though, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d tell you Boy Scouts of America.

Lerma, a graduate of Sterling High School, has set up a Facebook page (facebook.com/ RideAcrossAmericaForBoyScoutsOfAmerica) where anyone interested can follow him along his journey through middle America; thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a link to donate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just asked myself, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What charity resonates with you?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he says, and

Lerma has been in touch with a few troops along his route and hopes to meet with some of them, and maybe have them tag along for a short ride, before he moves on down the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Why do I want to go across the country?â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s there.â&#x20AC;?

CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Health insurance prices in Illinois were increasing by about 10 percent or more annually in the 3 years before President Barack Obama signed the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care law, according to a report released Thursday.

The report by the nonpartisan Commonwealth Fund is meant to help people gauge whether prices for 2015 climb faster or slower than they did before the health care law. It includes trends in 22 states where data was available for health insurance prices for people who buy their own coverage.

Prices for 2015 for Illinois residents wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be announced for months.

Insurers now are submitting their health plans to state regulators.

The new report is based on data collected by the National Opinion Research Center and analyzed by economist Jonathan Gruber. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor who advised both former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Obama on the development of their health care laws.

In Illinois, base rates for health insurance rose 14.4 percent in 2008, 10.4 percent in 2009 and 9.6 percent in 2010, according to the report.

Comparing average prices before and after the overhaul expanded coverage this year can be tricky, because the comparison involves two very different markets. Before 2014, insurers could control costs by excluding people who had expensive conditions or they could decline to cover things like maternity care.

They can no longer exclude these things from major medical coverage. But some temporary funding measures set up by the law will help shield insurers from that added risk.

Insurance experts say it will take a few years to understand pricing in the new markets.

STATEHOUSE SCOOP

EDITORIAL

Those who fought on D-Day Did Legislature deserve our gratitude ... still avoid tax hike, or just delay it?

S eventy years ago, men sat in boats, or planes, and headed toward a beach in Normandy.

What courage it must have taken that day for those men. They knew what likely awaited them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and they moved forward anyway, because they knew no action would result in something far worse for the world, and sacrifice was required to achieve the desired result.

June 6, 1944, is known as D-Day. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the day thousands of Allied Forces members stormed into Europe with the aim of wresting control from Adolf Hitler and the Axis powers.

Imagine what the world might be like if they had not had the courage to at least try.

The war didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end that day â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it took until 1945 for that. But the foothold those brave men gained that day led to the eventual surrender of Axis powers.

For the first time in a long time during World War II, the day offered a beacon of hope.

And the cost for that

SPRINGFIELD â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Politicians are like water â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they always take the easiest path.

When faced with difficult decisions this year, the Illinois General Assembly sat on its hands and told you a fib.

We were told Illinois government is entering a period of â&#x20AC;&#x153;austerity.â&#x20AC;?

Baloney.

This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s budget is $850 million more than last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

And folks, most of that extra spending is being paid for through borrowing.

The politicians raided special use funds throughout state government, harvested $650 million, and then promised to pay it back in 18 months.

But I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard anyone explain just how they plan to pay it back.

If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the money to pay for that extra spending now, how will we have the money in a year and one half to pay for that continued level of spending and pay back the borrowed money?

Beats me.

Hang on to your wallets, folks.

In the backrooms of the Illinois Statehouse they already are talking about shoving a tax hike down our throats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; after the election, but before the new General Assembly gets sworn in.

These types of lame duck shenanigans have a long, pathetic history in the Prairie State.

Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of these types of antics.

But this time all eyes are on Mike Madigan, the longtime speaker of the House and state Democratic Party chieftain.

He has said he is committed to making the temporary 67 percent income tax hike permanent. But he contends he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the votes to pass it this session.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seldom seen Madigan not get what he wants.

But he is a patient man.

Exceedingly patient.

Look for arms to start

getting twisted once the election is over.

The actions of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s General Assembly are geared toward precipitating a crisis.

There are elements within state government and among those who enrich themselves at taxpayersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; expense that so want a tax hike that they are willing to do anything to ensure it happens.

No serious efforts were made to cut overall state spending despite Illinois having $5 billion in unpaid bills and the worst funded pension system in the nation.

Why? Because some politicians would rather jack up your taxes instead.

Back in 2011, when lawmakers raised our taxes by 67 percent and promised it would be temporary, we were assured it was just to get the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal house in order.

But Illinois remains the economic basket case of the Midwest.

Our unemployment rate is one of the highest in the nation.

And now the politicians are trying to go back on their word and make the tax permanent.

If they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fiscal house in order with the last tax hike, why would we think they would with another one?

I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard a satisfactory answer to that question.

Taxpayers won a victory May 30 when the Legislature adjourned without raising taxes.

But the war is far from over.

Hang on; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be one heck of a fight.

Families choose not to come to their bedside, so nurses take their place.

Family members should try to imagine what that elderly person is feeling, and reach out and show them love again instead of cold indifference. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take that much time out of their busy schedules.

Is it really that hard to show someone you still love them? All they want is to see your face, hear your voice, and get a hug once in a while. Is that too much to ask for an elderly parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart to hope for?

Hiring? Check credentials first BRAD POPEJOY Sterling

Against my wishes, my 90-year-old dad hired a man from an ad to roof his house.

I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say his name here, but, oh, how I wish I could.

Please, before you hire anyone, make sure they have all the proper credentials to do a major project like this. My dad can hardly get around anymore, and this guy completely took advantage of him.

Now he says the roof leak can be fixed. You

canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just get up there and patch a new roof after the shingle glue has set up.

Even though a few have said this can be done, those who say this donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the Illinois credentials for roofing.

1. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put different lot number shingles with a different lot number that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t match.

2. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put shingles on backward like this guy did.

3. He or his worker stepped or set a bundle of shingles on one of the roof vents; this didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get replaced, either.

4. Instead of taking the satellite dish off and shingling there, he shingled

around it and left shingles there with an open hole for water and snow to pool.

5. When starting the starter strip, he put nails where there is no wood to hold the nails because this is where one of the leaks is. Another leak also is at a starter strip.

6. Next he says for $400 heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back and fix the leak. Problem is, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only leak, as about 4 feet from there is the other leak.

Get ahold of me if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like information on this guy. I have pictures to prove this guy is just what I say. There are pictures on my Facebook page if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see them.

Here are some of the destinations: Rocket Ship: Friends of Dora from outer space want to go home. Preschoolers can pilot the ship, test their memories, and put on a spacesuit.

Purple Planet: This is the home of Dora’s outer space pals. Earth children can take a slide to the surface of this new world.

Isa’s Flowery Garden: Isa the Iguana will teach how to take care of animals, flowers, and plants. Kids can pretend to fly wearing butterfly and bird wings.

Behavior canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be blamed on deceased dad Dear Abby: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the middle child. Our father died in the Gulf War. None of us really knew him, but my younger sister, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Delia,â&#x20AC;? has no memory of him at all.

She has been acting out for years now, and has broken our motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart more times than I can count. Whenever she messes up, she blames it on not knowing our father and the life she â&#x20AC;&#x153;couldâ&#x20AC;? have led.

It has been 20 years, Abby! The past is the past.

Delia continues to ruin her future and blame our mom. It has Mom won-

a chemical imbalance, or just never dealt with our fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death. How do you convince someone to get help? How do you make her see that Dad died so she could enjoy the many freedoms of America? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Drained in Delaware

dering why she was able to survive this crisis 20 years ago but canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t manage to deal with my sister.

I think Delia may have

Dear Drained: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry for your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss, but we are all responsible for our own behavior and our own emotions. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t force â&#x20AC;&#x153;helpâ&#x20AC;? on your dysfunctional sister. Before sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be willing to accept that she needs it, she will

have to accept that SHE has been responsible for her own mistakes and behavior. If your father had lived, her life might not have been any different than it is.

The person who COULD use some professional help might be your mother. Counseling might help her to quit trying to rescue her adult daughter, or blaming herself for the problems Delia has created for herself. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not saying it will be easy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; letting go rarely is. But it might improve her emotional and physical health.

Dear Abby: I am an attractive, physically fit, well-educated, 41-year-old divorced woman with two young children. Recently a co-worker I have known for several months asked me to accompany him on a weekend hiking trip.

(Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 23.) After a few conversations, he confessed that he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;deeply in loveâ&#x20AC;? with me and hoped we could begin a â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious relationship.â&#x20AC;?

Abby, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mature, good-looking, financially independent and has a great sense of humor. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m

attracted to him. Should I pursue this relationship, or wait until Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m attracted to someone closer to my own age? Help! â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A.S. in San Diego Dear A.S.: Whoa! Slow down. Regardless of the age difference, an overnight first date (with a coworker, yet) seems like an awfully speedy beginning to me. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smart, start with a coffee date, graduate to a dinner date, and pursue the relationship from there. Only time will tell if this is the real thing.

ECONOMY

Are state governments PETE S S expanding wealth gap?

E RKN

HA

Economists say some changes hurting bottom

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lawmakers in many states have been trying to boost their postrecession economies by cutting income taxes, curbing aid to the longterm jobless or holding down the minimum wage. Some have pursued all of these steps.

Whether such policies will spur businesses to expand, as hoped, isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet clear. But collectively, the actions could ease the financial burden for the statesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most affluent residents while reducing the safety net for those at the bottom.

The shift might also contribute to a trend that is prompting growing national concern: the widening gap between the richest Americans and everyone else. The divergence has developed over 4 decades and accelerated in recent years.

Economic statistics show that incomes for the top 1 percent of U.S. households soared 31 percent from 2009 through 2012, after adjusting for inflation, yet inched up an average of 0.4 percent for those making less. Many economists are sounding alarms that the income gap, greater now than at any time since the Great Depression, is hurting the economy by limiting growth in consumer spending.

Yet those concerns arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resonating in some states. Last year, at least 10 states passed income tax cuts targeted at busi-

Jennewein also works a second job at a parochial preschool, with little time in between, in an effort to make ends meet. nesses or those in the top individual brackets. Several more already have cut taxes this year, including Democratic-led New York and Republican-led Oklahoma. Yet over the past 3 years, nearly onefifth of the states have pared back unemployment benefits, and more cutbacks are under consideration.

The theory is that business owners are more likely to hire, expand and drive economic growth when their own financial burdens are eased.

But others contend that formula comes with side effects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happening at the state level is increasingly important, and, to many eyes, it appears to be moving things in one direction â&#x20AC;&#x201C; towards greater inequality,â&#x20AC;? said Matthew Gardner, executive director of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, a Washington-based tax research group.

The once-obscure income gap has become

an issue in the 2014 elections, as Democrats and Republicans differ on the best way to ensure America fulfills its promise as a land of opportunity.

Economists point to a variety of factors contributing to the gap, from the shift toward foreign manufacturing to a growth in single-parent households. Federal policies also come into play.

But state governments also have an impact.

Since the mid-1970s, states as a whole have cut their top individual income tax rates by nearly one-fourth, while boosting state sales tax rates by almost half, according to an Associated Press analysis. That has meant lower taxes for those earning the most and a bigger proportionate tax bite for those who spend more of their income on retail sales. Vermont, for example, has cut its top personal income tax rate from 17.5 percent to less than 9 percent while doubling its sales tax rate to 6 percent.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;It took his breath awayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WWII veterans take Honor Flight

BY ANDREA AZZO AAZZO SHAWMEDIA COM 3HAW .EWS 3ERVICE

S

ycamore resident Joe Bussone was one of the last World War II veterans honored in a welcomehome parade at Midway Airport, and he wanted it that way.

Bussone stopped and talked to almost every person who cheered him for participating in an Honor Flight Chicago trip to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday. A total of 86 veterans with an average age of 89.5 took the 1-day trip to see veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; memorials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know any of them,â&#x20AC;? Bussone said of the crowd at Midway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They thanked me, but it was an honor to serve this country and its people.â&#x20AC;?

After the parade, a woman also told Bussone he made her day and gave him a kiss on the lips.

Bussone served in the southwest Pacific Islands and the Philippines in the Navy from 1944 to 1947 as a motor machinist mate first class.

Bussone and DeKalb resident Pete Johnson were the only locals who made the all-expensespaid trip Wednesday, just 2 days before the 70th anniversary of D-Day, when U.S. forces invaded Normandy, France, in a turning point in the war against Nazi Germany.

Bussoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Paul, and Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter, Jill

Joe Bussone shakes hands with the Warrior Watch Riders who were at Midway Airport in Chicago to greet veterans during a welcome-home ceremony Wednesday for the veterans returning from an honor flight to Washington D.C.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;

â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

It took his breath away that so many people totally unrelated would come up and thank all these veterans. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Jill Rahn, daughter of veteran Pete Johnson

Rahn, also went on the trip to serve as guardians.

Honor Flight Chicago estimates there are 25,000 World War II veterans living in the Chicago area. They currently only take World War II vets but are accepting applications for Korean War veterans.

Veterans who made the trip Wednesday saw the National World War II Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Korean War Veterans Memorial and Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Air and Space Museum.

Johnson served from

1942 to 1946 in the U.S. Army as a technical fourth grade sergeant in Saipan, Japan, and Korea. Wearing an American flag tie, he was chosen as the sole World War II vet to participate in a ceremony with a military color guard and active duty service personnel at the National World War II Memorial. The ceremony included taps and the national anthem.

Johnson said that moment his favorite part of the trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why I was asked,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe it was because I had my tie.â&#x20AC;?

Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest regret was that his two younger brothers, who also served in WWII, were not with him because they are both dead. One of Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite memories of his service was when he saw one of his brothers while he was serving in Saipan.

Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend was killed in action less than a year after enlisting in the war. The war memories and Midway Airport ceremony made Johnson miss his brothers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I cried a little bit,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just wish the three of us could have walked off together.â&#x20AC;?

Children in Washington, D.C. came up to Johnson and thanked him for his service, even when he was waiting to use the restroom, Rahn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took his breath away that so many people totally unrelated would come up and thank all these veterans,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Paul Bussone said seeing his father surrounded by other WWII veterans was memorable. Joe Bussone was discharged from the war in San Francisco, without the fanfare like he received at Midway Airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be recognized like this very well may have been his first time,â&#x20AC;? Paul Bussone said.

While at Smithsonianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s National Air and Space Museum, Joe and Paul Bussone saw the Enola Gay plane that dropped the first atomic bomb on Aug. 6, 1945, in Hiroshima, Japan. A second atomic bomb was dropped 3 days later in Nagasaki, Japan.

Before the bombs were dropped, Joe Bussone was preparing for the possibility of invading Japan. He practiced landing for about 3 months in the islands of the Philippines on an LSM (landing ship medium) that carried personnel and equipment.

Joe Bussone had heard at least a million Allied forces were expected to die if they tried to invade Japan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thank God we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that,â&#x20AC;? Joe Bussone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If President Truman wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have dropped the bomb, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be here today.â&#x20AC;?

Even though he uses a cane and sometimes a wheelchair to get around, Joe Bussone said he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take back the experience he had, especially the reception at Midway Airport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would go again, just for this reception right here,â&#x20AC;? Joe Bussone said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People giving thanks and appreciation.â&#x20AC;?

WASHINGTON

Official: Threat to Bergdahl led to U.S. action Obama said he makes no apologies for move WASHINGTON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Obama administration told senators it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notify Congress about the pending swap of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban officials because of intelligence the Taliban might kill him if the deal was made public.

That fear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just the stated concerns that Bergdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health might be failing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; drove the administration to quickly make the deal to rescue him,

bypassing the law that lawmakers be notified when detainees are released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, congressional and administration officials said Thursday.

They spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment publicly.

Since Bergdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s release Saturday, administration officials, including President Barack Obama, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and National Security Adviser Susan Rice have said publicly that the key reason for the secret pris-

oner swap was evidence that Bergdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s physical health was deteriorating after 5 years in captivity. But on Wednesday night, adminisSgt. Bowe tration officials Bergdahl told senators in a closed session that the primary concern was the death risk if the deal collapsed.

At a news conference in Brussels on Thursday, Obama said he makes no apologies for

recovering Bergdahl, and he said the furor in Washington over the exchange has made the matter a â&#x20AC;&#x153;political football.â&#x20AC;?

He appeared to be referring to potential danger to Bergdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life when he said that â&#x20AC;&#x153;because of the nature of the folks that we were dealing with and the fragile nature of these negotiations, we felt it was important to go ahead and do what we did.â&#x20AC;?

There was no overt threat by the Taliban but rather an assessment based on intelligence reports that Bergdahlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life would be in jeopardy if

news of the talks got out and the deal failed, said two senior U.S. officials familiar with the efforts to free the soldier.

In public comments, State Department spokesman Marie Harf told reporters Thursday, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were real concerns that if this were made public first, his physical security could be in danger.â&#x20AC;?

The risks, she said, included â&#x20AC;&#x153;someone guarding him that possibly wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree and could take harmful action against him. So as we needed to move quickly, all of these factors played into that.â&#x20AC;?

NEW YORK

Police arrest man in elevator stabbing of 6-year-old boy Suspect has history of violent assault NEW YORK (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; A man believed to have stabbed a 6-year-old boy to death and critically injured a 7-year-old girl in a knife attack in a public housing building elevator that didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have security cameras was arrested just minutes after the mayor and the police commissioner publicly identified him and appealed for help catching him, police said.

Daniel St. Hubert was picked up just Daniel after 8 p.m. on St. Hubert Wednesday in a residential neighborhood in Queens, in connection with the death of Prince Joshua Avitto and the injuring of Mikayla Capers days earlier in Brooklyn, authorities said. No details were provided on how St. Hubert, 27, was captured.

St. Hubert was in custody and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be contacted for comment Wednesday night. It was unclear if he had an attorney.

Phone numbers at addresses registered to him were out of service.

St. Hubert has a history of violent assault, with nine arrests on his criminal record, including two for assaulting police and correction officers, and he was released on May 23 in a domestic-assault case, authorities said. He was sentenced to time behind bars after convictions for attempted murder and assault, serving 3 years in city jails and 2 in an upstate prison, state correction records show.

Before the arrest, police Commissioner William Bratton, joined by Mayor Bill de Blasio, asked the public to help in catching the suspect, urging residents to call authorities if they saw him or had information about him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need your assistance to apprehend this individual as soon as possible,â&#x20AC;? Bratton said then.

Forensic evidence led to the identification of St. Hubert, said police, who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t elaborate and provided no possible motive for the knife attack.

Before the Sunday evening assault, Prince and Mikayla had been playing outside the Boulevard Houses under adult supervision. Relatives and witnesses said they went inside alone when they were cornered by a heavyset man in his 20s.

none was in place to capture any images of the attacker, despite funds set aside by the New York City Housing Authority to pay for them.

About 58 percent of the 334 city housing developments, encompassing more than 2,500 buildings, have some cameras, according to Housing Authority testimony delivered this week to the City Council. But only 41 percent of the individual building stock has cameras, leaving the majority of lobbies, elevators and stairwells unwatched.

Meanwhile, the New York Police Department operates more than 7,000 cameras throughout Manhattan, particularly near Times Square, the World Trade Center and other tourist locations. Additionally, thousands of private cameras have been installed across the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five boroughs, providing video coverage of much of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets that can be used by police as evidence.

Across the city, major crime continues to fall, down 2.4 percent from this time a year ago.

Major crime in public housing has ticked up slightly. Housing Authority buildings are the site of about 20 percent of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s murders while they house only 7 percent of its population.

RECALL AFTERMATH

GM ousts 15 employees over ignition-switch scandal WARREN, Mich. (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; General Motors said Thursday it has forced out 15 employees for their role in the deadly ignition-switch scandal and will set up a compensation fund for crash victims, as an internal investigation blamed the debacle on engineering ignorance

and bureaucratic dithering, not a deliberate cover-up.

GM took more than a decade to recall 2.6 million cars with bad switches that are now linked to at least 13 deaths, by the automakerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s count. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Group after group, and committee after

committee within GM that reviewed the issue failed to take action or acted too slowly,â&#x20AC;? Anton Valukas, the former federal prosecutor hired by the automaker to investigate the reason for the delay, said in a 315-page report. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although everyone had responsibility to fix the problem,

nobody took responsibility.â&#x20AC;?

GM CEO Mary Barra, who released the results of the investigation, said more than half the 15 employees forced out were senior legal and engineering executives who failed to disclose the defect. Five other employees have been

disciplined, she said. She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identify them.

The automaker said it will establish a compensation program covering those killed or seriously injured in the more than 50 accidents blamed on the switches.

The amount available to be paid out was not disclosed.

Spurs handle heat and beat the Heat AC malfunctions as San Antonio wins Game 1

BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

SAN ANTONIO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The San Antonio Spurs handled the Heat, and the heat, during a sweltering start to the NBA Finals.

Tim Duncan had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the Spurs beat Miami 110-95 on Thursday night in Game 1 inside a steamy AT&T Center.

With an air conditioning failure making it feel like basketball in a sauna and causing LeBron James to battle cramps that knocked him out of the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decisive stretch, the Spurs pulled away to win the opener of the first finals rematch since 1998.

Manu Ginobili had 16 points and 11 assists, and Tony Parker added 19 points and eight assists for the Spurs, who shot 59 percent and improved to 6-for-6 in NBA Finals Game 1s.

James finished with 25 points, but played only 33 minutes, and Miami was outscored 36-17 in the fourth quarter.

SOFTBALL PREVIEW | 3A MARENGO SECTIONAL FINAL | STERLING VS. MARENGO

Annual sectional affair Sterling, Marengo meet for title for third straight year

BY TY REYNOLDS treynolds@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5554

Usually at this point in the postseason, teams donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a very detailed scouting report of their sectional final opponents.

But the Sterling Golden Warriors are plenty familiar with Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foe. For the third straight season, the Warriors will meet Marengo in a 3A sectional title game.

The familiarity doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that Sterling is too focused on the team across the diamond, though. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We definitely know them and know how good they are,â&#x20AC;? senior shortstop Karlie Mellott said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but all we can control is what we do and how we play, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re worried about. We just have to keep doing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; timely hitting and good defense â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and hopefully weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have the same result.â&#x20AC;?

Last year, the Warriors used a wild five-run rally with two outs in the bottom of the seventh to win the Rochelle Sectional title; they went on to a fourth-place state finish in East Peoria.

But Sterling (28-8) is a much different team than the one which rallied in Rochelle. Seven seniors graduated from the 2013 state team, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a younger group that is looking to follow in their footsteps.

You know racing season is upon us when the weather warms up, and runners take their runs outdoors to the streets of the community. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great sight to see our community taking such strides to a healthier lifestyle.

This year, through collaboration of the Dixon YMCA, the Reagan Run Committee, AHEC and the University of Illinois Extension, a new program has been brought to Dixon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the GO FAR (go out for a run) program.

GO FAR is a comprehensive fitness program for children that promotes fun, physical activity, healthy eating and good character.

The goal of the GO FAR program is to empower children to make healthy lifestyle choices that they can integrate and sustain throughout their life, including life lessons such as sportsmanship, self-discipline and being considerate.

This 9-week program works in tandem with the Reagan Run and the Kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Fun Run, to teach kids how to properly train and run a 5K. The

TENNIS | FRENCH OPEN

2012 winner Sharapova awaits Halep in French final PARIS â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Might be easier said than done.

Still, Maria Sharapova offered a tidy aphorism to sum up the formula thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carried her to a third consecutive French Open final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not how you finish a first set,â&#x20AC;? Sharapova said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how you finish the last set.â&#x20AC;?

Right now, no one is a better closer than she is on clay. Nearing a second championship at Roland Garros, and fifth Grand Slam trophy overall, Sharapova gritted her way to yet another comeback victory, beating 18th-seeded Eugenie Bouchard of Canada 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the semifinals Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If some things are not working out, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just want to quit in the middle. Because when you lose the first set or a few games, or youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down a break, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the end

of the match,â&#x20AC;? Sharapova said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the type of philosophy that I play with.â&#x20AC;?

She famously described herself years ago as feeling like a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cow on iceâ&#x20AC;? on clay, but Sharapova now has won her past 19 matches that went to three sets on the demanding surface.

In Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final, the No. 7-seeded Sharapova will face No. 4 Simona Halep, a 22-year-old Romanian who never before had been past the quarterfinals at a major. Halep turned in a much more straightforward win, eliminating No. 28 Andrea Petkovic of Germany 6-2, 7-6 (4). â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of confidence in myself now,â&#x20AC;? said Halep, who a year ago was ranked only 57th. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played really well here; a few good matches. But next round will be very tough. I know Maria. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great champion.â&#x20AC;?

Logano believes NASCAR safer than football

NASCAR Trucks

AP

Joey Logano looks on from the garage before practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race last Saturday at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del.

BY JENNA FRYER !0 !UTO 2ACING 7RITER

CHARLOTTE, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; After a stop to watch the Detroit Lions practice, Joey Logano felt confident he picked the right career.

As a race car driver, Logano accepts the dangers that come with his sport. He would take that over getting drilled repeatedly by a linebacker.

Logano, at 6-foot-1, 140 pounds, was admittedly intimidated as he watched the Lions practice because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt really, really small compared to them. There are some really big dudes out there.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like my sport is a lot safer,â&#x20AC;? Logano said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We may look crazy going 200 mph, but I would much rather hit the wall at 200 than have a 300-pound linebacker coming at me.â&#x20AC;?

The NFL has agreed to a $765 million settlement of a head injuries lawsuit with hundreds of players, though the deal was rejected by a federal judge in January.

NASCAR, since the 2001 death of Dale Earnhardt at the Daytona 500, has made tremendous strides in safety advancements. In 2012, Dale Earnhardt Jr. missed two races during the championship portion of the season with a concussion, and NASCAR this year mandated preseason baseline testing for all participants.

The safety standards make Logano feel safe in his race car. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our hits may be pretty brutal, but at the same time, we have done a lot to our race cars to make them safer,â&#x20AC;? Logano said during his Tuesday visit, which was part of a promotional tour for Michigan International Speedway.

Concussion protocols NASCAR: (AS MANDATED PRESEASON BASELINE testing, and will force drivers to skip races if concussion is diagnosed.

NFL: %VERY PLAYER UNDERGOES BASELINE TESTING in preseason, and is kept off the field until concussion symptoms disappear.

NBA: "ASELINE TESTING IS DONE BEFORE THE SEASON

AND PLAYER MUST COMPLETE EXTENSIVE PROCESS n usually lasting days or weeks, and involving team MEDICAL STAFF LEAGUE S NEUROPSYCHOLOGIST n BEFORE BEING CLEARED TO RETURN TO COURT NHL: 0LAYER IS REMOVED FROM ICE AND BENCH AREA

& taken someplace â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiet & free from distractionâ&#x20AC;?

TO BE EVALUATED BY ON SITE TEAM PHYSICIAN MLB: Players who have suffered hits to the head ARE REQUIRED TO UNDERGO BASELINE TESTING ARE PLACED ON DAY $, IF CONCUSSION IS DIAGNOSED â&#x20AC;&#x153;NASCAR has a constant program of always being able to move up, and test cars, and crash cars, and try to figure out what we can do to make them safer, and make the crush zones crush, and if there are parts that need to be stiffer, they make them stiff,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think there are as many areas in football to improve on.

Obviously you have pads and helmets, but you are still going to get hit every time.â&#x20AC;?

Asked what position heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d play on a football team, Logano revealed he performed horribly during a visit with the New England Patriots, during which he tried to learn how to kick a field goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be good at any position,â&#x20AC;? he admitted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know where I would fit in.

Probably on the bench somewhere.â&#x20AC;?

From high to low: Ryan Hunter-Reay was run ragged across the country during a media blitz following his Indianapolis 500 victory, and the American didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a chance to relax until he got to the race track last weekend in Detroit.

But the euphoria from Indy came to a crashing halt in his first qualifying

session, when HunterReay hit the wall and damaged the rear suspension.

It set the tone for a miserable weekend at Belle Isle, where Hunter-Reay logged finishes of 16th and 19th in the doubleheader event.

Even worse, his point lead vanished.

Hunter-Reay left Indy up 400 points over Will Power, but Belle Isle dropped him to third in the standings, down 27. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a long weekend,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll try to erase this one from my memory and move on to Texas. Nothing we did worked.â&#x20AC;?

Next is a Saturday night race at Texas Motor Speedway, the second oval on the IndyCar schedule.

Hunter-Reay was second at Texas last year, his first podium in seven career starts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such a big track, but it is so challenging,â&#x20AC;?

Hunter-Reay said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, with our [aero] package the way it is, the trackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s condition the way it is with our Firestone tires, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s racing like a shorter oval at higher speeds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got every kind of mixture of difficulty. It always ends up being one heck of a show.â&#x20AC;?

GOOD INVENTORY, LOW INTEREST RATES...

Farewell to the mullet:

The long journey for Jordan Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infamous mullet will soon end.

The TUDOR United SportsCar Championship driver has been working on the business-in-thefront, party-in-the-back hairstyle for well over a year, and Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mullet has sometimes overshadowed his on-track accomplishments.

But Taylor is tired of his hair having its own fame, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cut it later in the month at the Six Hours of Watkins Glen.

Taylor is trimming the mullet in hopes of raising $10,000 for Camp Boggy Creek and Camp Anokijig, which serves chronically ill children.

The raffle winner will receive two paddock passes to Watkins Glen, and a ride around the road course in a twoseater Daytona Prototype â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the opportunity to help cut Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mullet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started growing it in January 2013, and it took a while to get some decent length out of it; now I just want to get rid of it,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor, who teamed with older brother, Ricky, to win last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race at Belle Isle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of people are saying I get a lot of credit for my hair, more than my driving. So I want to go back to being a driver again, and not just a guy with weird hair.â&#x20AC;?

A crazy deal for trump control

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

A.J. Kitt, who used to be a top downhill skier, said, “You have no control over what the other guy does. You only have control over what you do.”

That is usually true at the bridge table, but sometimes you can control your opponent by leaving him with no winning option – as in this deal.

South is in seven spades.

West leads the club ace.

South ruffs and cashes the spade ace, expecting to claim one nanosecond later.

But when East discards a club, suddenly West seems to have a certain trump trick.

Is there any chance?

North’s rebid was a double negative, showing a very bad hand, either the traditional

two no-trump or the modern three clubs, according to partnership preference.

Then South, confident that North could not have an ace, jumped to seven hearts

to offer a choice of grand slams. North gave preference to spades, never having expected to make three bids in the auction.

The only way to bring home the contract is to lead sidesuit winners through West.

When he ruffs one, dummy overruffs, and declarer draws trumps, then having the same number of spades (three) as West.

However, West will only ruff if he has no alternative. He will discard as often as possible. Here, if South immediately runs his hearts, West will pitch his diamond and later ruff the diamond ace.

As declarer can throw only four of dummy’s five diamonds on the hearts, he must cash one diamond trick first. Then he plays his hearts. Eventually, West will concede. © 2014 UFS

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough losing those seniors,â&#x20AC;? junior catcher Lauren Fritz said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but we brought as many people up as we could last year when we went to state. We know what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like down there, we know how to play in big-game atmospheres.

We know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got players to fill in what we lost, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re confident in our bats and our fielding.â&#x20AC;?

The confidence stems from the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to come up with the big hit or big play at key moments in games, something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done consistently all year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at our best when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working together as a team, and we just have to keep doing that like we have been,â&#x20AC;?

Mellott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up and down the lineup, everyone knows their role, and what they have to do for us to be successful â&#x20AC;Ś and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing it. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the kind of thing that makes it easy to trust each other and helps us carry over that team mentality from game to game.â&#x20AC;?

The postseason has been no different.

After winning two regional games by a combined 16-1, Sterling overcame a 4-0 deficit after a half-inning Tuesday against Burlington Central to win 8-7 in eight innings. Almost every Warrior came up big at some point in that game, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got the young squad believing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a lot of momentum for Saturday,â&#x20AC;? Fritz said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we really think we can get back to state. There will definitely be butterflies before the game, but I think once weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re done warming up and taking infield, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cool and calm like usual, and it will be just another game. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll probably be loud, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when we seem to pick up even more momentum.â&#x20AC;?

Marengo (28-10) is also riding high coming into the title tilt. The Indians ran the table to win the Big Northern East Division, and have outscored their opponents 24-2 in three postseason games.

Freshman pitcher Mariah Dionne was the conference pitcher of the year, and has allowed just seven hits while striking out 33 in the playoffs. Dionne, along with seniors Abby Kissack and Taylor Carlson, lead a potent offense that can hit for power as well as manufacture runs.

Coach Becki Edmondson says the key will be for her team to stay relaxed. The ability to have any player in the lineup deliver a big hit or make a key play in the field helps the Warriors do that, because it takes the pressure off any one person to be perfect.

Fritz and Mellott agree that the pressurepacked games of the postseason donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem quite so intense because they know if someone is struggling, there are several more Warriors to pick them up.

Edmondson believes the youth of her team is beneficial in some cases, because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not experienced enough at the high-school level to worry about anything other than playing the game and doing their jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to remind them to focus on the fundamental things, and hopefully that will take their minds off the big picture,â&#x20AC;? Edmondson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very relaxed and positive throughout the season, and especially lately, and we just want to keep that up Saturday.â&#x20AC;?

Sydney plays first base, and Delaney was moved up to varsity for the postseason. Delaney has been patrolling right field and batting ninth in the order.

She has come through in big spots both defensively and at the plate for Amboy.

She threw a runner out at the plate in the sixth inning of Mondayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supersectional. That came after she had put Amboy up 1-0 against Putnam County with an RBI triple.

Delaney also played a big role on the Clippersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; regional championship basketball team. Sydney missed much of the basketball season with an injury.

The good news for Amboy is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to replace only four players â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the two McCoys, Destinee Oenes and Kelsie Thurman â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad. Having freshmen like Wilhelm, Doege and Nauman already contributing will help soften that blow. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great time for girls sports in Amboy,â&#x20AC;? Sydney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were good in basketball and softball, and a lot of the players will be back next year.â&#x20AC;?

Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bats roar to sweep Rizzo, Wood homer; Royals beat Cardinals

By The Associated Press

CHICAGO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anthony Rizzo hit a tiebreaking homer, Travis Wood went deep and drove in three runs, and the Chicago Cubs beat the New York Mets 7-4 Thursday night to complete the three-game sweep.

Rizzoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solo drive off Vic Black (1-1) with one out in the seventh gave Chicago a lead after it wasted a four-run lead.

Andrew Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-run shot tied it 4-all in the top half.

Junior Lake added a two-run triple in the eighth, and the Cubs came away with their first series sweep since they took three at San Francisco last July 26-28.

Wood delivered in a big way at the plate, and was in line for the win before New York rallied from a

4-0 deficit.

He hit a two-run homer in the second off Jacob deGrom, after Luis Valbuena was ruled safe at home on a sacrifice fly following a replay review to give Chicago a 3-0 lead. And Wood drove in another run with a fielderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice grounder in the fourth.

The Mets scored two while chasing Wood in the sixth, and tied it in the seventh when Brown, who was recalled from Triple-A earlier in the day, connected off Justin Grimm.

Rizzo, however, put the Cubs back on top with a long drive to rightcenter on a 3-1 pitch for his team-leading 11th homer.

Grimm (2-2) got the win. Pedro Strop stranded two runners in the eighth before Lake made

it a three-run game in the bottom half.

Royals 3, Cardinals 2:

Yordano Ventura threw six innings in his return from a sore elbow, and the Kansas City Royals rallied to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 Thursday night and end a string of eight straight home losses to their in-state rivals.

Ventura (3-5) was skipped his previous time through the rotation because of minor elbow pain, but he looked sharp in his return.

He pitched to contact and took advantage of some sharp defense, which helped him to limit the damage whenever he ran into trouble.

The Royals rallied for three runs off Michael Wacha (4-4) to take the lead in the sixth inning.

Help is on the way Sox take pitching; Cubs choose big bat

By Chicago Tribune

The White Sox arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t yet going to determine just how fast Carlos Rodon could make the journey to pitching at U.S. Cellular Field.

But with the selection of the North Carolina State left-handed pitcher at No. 3 overall in the baseball draft Thursday night, the Sox picked a player they believe can help them win sooner rather than later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether or not itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the fast track like Chris Sale, or somebody else,

we fully expect Carlos would be able to help contribute to our club and win a championship with the core of players that we have on the cusp right now, rather than perhaps somebody we are going to have to wait 4, 5, 6 years down the line for,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Laumann, Sox director of amateur scouting.

Meanwhile, the Cubs selected left-handed hitting catcher Kyle Schwarber of Indiana with the fourth overall pick in the amateur draft.

Schwarber, 21, whom Baseball America listed as the 17th top prospect, was ranked second on the Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; list, according to Jason McLeod, the Cubsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; vice president of scouting and player development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been an awesome last couple days,â&#x20AC;?

Schwarber said in a conference call at a golf course in his hometown of Middletown, Ohio.

The Cubs have a shortage of top catching prospects and top lefthanded hitters.

Cramps force King to take seat HEAT

CONTINUED FROM B1

Dwyane Wade scored 19 points, and Chris Bosh had 18 for the Heat, who wilted in temperatures that soared to 90 degrees in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was tough on both teams,â&#x20AC;? Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were pretty dead.

We tried to get guys in and out. ... It was really hot out there.â&#x20AC;?

James, who had cramping issues 2 years ago in the finals, had to ask for a break in the fourth quarter and was getting treatment during a 15-4 Spurs run that turned around the game.

He came back in and made a basket that cut it to two points with about 4 minutes left, but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even run back on defense, promptly putting his hand up and

Spurs forward Tim Duncan shoots over Heat center Chris Bosh during Game 1 of the NBA Finals in San Antonio on Thursday. The Spurs won 110-95. lingering at the baseline until help arrived to take him off for good.

Danny Green followed with a 3-pointer to trigger what became a 16-3 run to end the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It felt like a punch in the gut when you see your leader limping to

bench like that. But we still had a chance after that,â&#x20AC;? Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

The crowd chanted â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beat the Heat! Beat the Heat!â&#x20AC;? in the fourth quarter, which was just what the fans themselves were trying to do.

CHILD CARE

512

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))

Answer on B11

Some hard choices will have to be made this year. You will encounter resistance at first, but once others take note of your direction, you will win them over.

Your confidence will increase as your talents blossom. You will be victorious if you are determined to outmatch your competition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you have been lazy about performing your household chores, you will hear about it. Do your part without complaint and avoid squabbles. A little romance will go a long way.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Show off your sociable nature.

Surround yourself with friends and family, and share your positive attitude. An informal get-together will lift everyone’s spirits. Share your memories.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Strike a better balance between home and work issues. Let others do their share without criticizing their efforts. You can’t do it all, but you also can’t expect others to do things your way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You have been on edge lately, losing sleep over past mistakes and mishaps. Avoid depression

by making a clear plan for the future. Your anxiety is holding you back.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Be careful who you confide in. You may have inadvertently revealed information that can be used against you. Minor setbacks must be overcome swiftly. Put your best interest first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- A creative activity will generate an interesting proposal.

Be proud of your talents, and new doors will open for you. Let everyone know what you have to offer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Have faith in your own judgment. It’s important to stay in control. Take advice from experts, but ultimately make your decisions based on what works best for you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Find out more about what’s going on in your community. Look into projects and developments that you can contribute to. Valuable connections can be made close to home.

PUZZLE ENTHUSIASTS: Get more puzzles in AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You need to better organize your life. If you find that you’re spending too much time looking for everyday items, set aside a few hours to put everything in place today. Your frustration level will decrease as a result.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be extra cautious. A small injury will turn into a problem.

Use your tools carefully. It’s how you interact with others that will determine your success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Shake off the blues. Find people who have the same passions, and plan a joint project. Have some fun, lighten up and have a laugh or two.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It would be wise to study wealth management and investment techniques. Spending your time thusly will bring you long-lasting benefits and ensure that you will be less likely to be conned by a self-proclaimed expert.
