SERVING DIXON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1851

DIXON

Roadwork ahead – eventually Delays in streetscaping put River Street project on hold for now

BY BRENDEN WEST bwest@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529 @BWest_SVM

DIXON – East River Street renovation is one of the Dixon Council’s top priorities for the summer months, so much so that the council voted in May to use Rita Crundwell settlement proceeds to fully

fund the $3.4 million estimated cost for the project.

But when faced with a decision to award bids on the project on Tuesday, the council voted unanimously to table the matter.

Fischer Excavating Inc. had the low bid for asphalt work on River Street – at $2,454,713.77 – but that didn’t win the contractor the vote for the project. The

business had already been contracted to do the downtown streetscaping, but delays in that project are causing the council some concerns.

Company owner Wayne Fischer, who attended Tuesday’s special council meeting, said a subcontractor has set back the streetscape project by at least 3 weeks.

Council members want Fischer to sort things out before awarding him the bid.

“I think Fischer’s done a phenomenal job,” said Councilman Mitch Tucker.

“I can’t say the same for your subcontractors.”

STERLING – Efforts to make the Sterling Theater a viable downtown business are starting to gain traction with its third general manager since Theater Management Group left town.

Krista Morthland, director of the Northwest Illinois Business Incubator, succeeds Tim O’Brien and Rob Hutcherson, as operations chief at the theater.

Morthland had been doing marketing work at the brewand-view since July 1, and started as general manager Dec. 1.

Greater Sterling Development Corp. bought the theater in December 2012, and it now is operated as a nonprofit by its board.

The famous Budwesier Clydesdales will gallop into Ashton this weekend as part of the village’s sesquicentennial celebration.

Something’s brewing over in Ashton Special equine guests will join citywide celebration

BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5521 @SeaWarren

ASHTON – A village doesn’t often turn 150 years old. In fact – and correct me if I’m wrong here – I’m pretty sure it happens only once.

Well, this weekend, the village of Ashton will celebrate the big 150, and residents are excited.

Back in 1865, when Ashton was founded – known then as Ogle Station – Abraham Lincoln had just been inaugurated to his second term as president, the beginning of the tumultuous post-Civil War Reconstruction Era was helping the South rise again, westward expansion was in full swing, and the American flag had only 36 stars.

And in tiny Ogle Station, Illinois, a few brave settlers were starting a new future.

First came Erastus Anderson, in 1848, who arrived from Canada by way of Chicago. He brought his bride, and then later sent for his brother, Timothy, to join him.

In 1854, the railroad made its way to Ogle Station. That brought new people, supplies, and Irish immigrants, who quit their jobs working on the railroad to settle there.

In 1867, the village’s name was officially changed to Ashton, though, apparently, no one knows why. It came down to a vote by the village’s board, and a bunch of names were thrown around for consideration – one top choice being Prairieview. Then around midnight, after hours of debate, seemingly out of nowhere, one of the board members suggested Ashton.

They took a vote, and the board unanimously chose it.

OGLE COUNTY

CRIME

Judge lowers bond for Peoria man

Rock Falls man charged in hammer attack

Police-chase defendant given strict conditions for release

BY VINDE WELLS Shaw Media vwells@shawmedia.com

OREGON – A man who led Ogle County sheriff’s deputies on a high speed chase was freed from jail this week after posting a lower bond that was approved last week by a judge.

Judge Robert Hanson lowered the bond for Daniel Swisher, 40, Peoria, from $250,000 to $100,000, but set strict and numerous bond conditions.

The judge’s decision came after he received a treatment plan from Swisher’s psychiatrist.

Swisher posted bond on Monday and was released from the Ogle County Jail.

Swisher’s attorney, Paul Whit-

combe of Dixon, had twice asked for a bond reduction, but Hanson denied those motions until he heard from Dr. Daniel Arum Pinto, a Swisher Peoria psychiatrist who has been treating Swisher for bipolar disorder for several years.

At the June 4 hearing, Whitcombe presented Hanson with Pinto’s report, but Ogle County State’s Attorney Eric Morrow objected to the bond reduction, citing public safety concerns.

An Ogle County grand jury indicted Swisher on seven

charges on May 27, including four counts of aggravated fleeing to elude police, all Class 4 felonies; two counts of resisting a peace officer, both Class 4 felonies; and possession of cannabis, a misdemeanor.

Swisher pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The charges stem from a high-speed chase on May 6 that reached speeds as high as 104 mph – and the chase isn’t Hanson’s first. Earlier that day, Swisher was involved in a chase with Jo Daviess County sheriff’s deputies, and he was charged recently with fleeing to elude officers in Peoria County.

Hanson set numerous conditions for Swisher’s release. He

must wear an electronic monitoring device, live with his parents in Peoria, and be under the supervision of one or both of them at all times. Swisher will be allowed to leave his parents’ home only for medical appointments and treatment, court hearings, supervised visits with his children, and workrelated activity.

Hanson ordered Swisher to surrender his driver’s license and said he may not drive under any circumstances, and he must also adhere to the treatment plan outlined by his psychiatrist and take his prescribed medications.

A pretrial conference is scheduled for Aug. 10.

IN BRIEF Officials trace contacts of woman with rare tuberculosis SPRINGFIELD (AP) – The Illinois Department of Public Health is working to identify people who may have been in contact with a woman who has a rare and deadly form

of hard-to-treat tuberculosis.

State health officials said Tuesday they are continuing to work with local health departments in northern Illinois and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The woman traveled from India to the United States in April. She arrived at Chi-

cago’s O’Hare International Airport, and spent time in Missouri, Tennessee and Illinois before getting sick. She was admitted to an isolation unit at a suburban Chicago hospital and is now a patient at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland.

ROCK FALLS – A Rock Falls man is behind bars, charged with attacking a neighbor with a hammer.

Michael Wilkinson, 35, attacked Kevin Cook on May 23 after “one of the neighbors was complaining about language being used around children,” Police Chief Tammy Nelson said.

Wilkinson is charged with aggravated battery and is being held on $50,000 bond.

According to Nelson, the fight escalated throughout the day and culminated when Cook went to Wilkinson’s house in the 600 block of East Fourth Street. When the door was opened, Willkinson, who was standing there holding a hammer, hit Cook in the head several times. Police were called at 10:45 p.m.

Cook was treated and released at a Rockford hospital, Nelson said.

Where the sidewalk ends – for now Money, other projects put work on hold for wounded walkway near high school

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

STERLING – Both the city and the Sterling School District are well aware of a crumbling – and unsafe – sidewalk near the high school.

But for now, finances and other, more important, projects are keeping them from taking any steps to fix the walkway.

On April 6, a resident of the neighborhood near LeFevre between Fourth and Sixth avenues, spoke to the city council about what he believes are safety concerns for the students who walk that route every day.

He told the council that the sidewalk along LeFevre has deteriorated to mostly gravel. Large trees near the high school library complicate mat-

ters, and there is no grass between the sidewalk and curb, putting walkers close to the street.

City and school district officials are well aware of the problem.

“This has been an ongoing conversation for a couple of years,” Sterling Schools Superintendent Tad Everett said. “We have plans to address this when funds are available from the city.”

While it is a public walkway, the cost for such projects has been shared between the city and school district. Even with the district’s help, the location of the sidewalk makes it a big-ticket item for the city.

“The finances are a big issue, but the engineering that location entails makes it much more complicated than you might think,” Everett

Stone and asparagus part of Ashton past ASHTON

CONTINUED FROM A1

Early industries included stone quarrying, which took off after Chicago burned in 1871 and new stone was needed to rebuild.

Also popular was asparagus farming and sheep feeding, which was the practice of fattening sheep brought in from western farms before they were shipped to market in Chicago.

In March 1889, the village suffered its own disastrous fire that

burned down the entire business district. Two well-heeled and wellliked Ashton businessmen, Samuel Frank Mills and Nathan Albert Petrie, stepped forward to rebuild it.

To celebrate the village’s rich history, a 4-day public celebration will kick off Thursday and last all weekend with bands, food vendors, a raffle, a carnival, a beer garden, crafts, and even a special appearance from the Budweiser Clydesdales.

To see the full schedule, head to ashtonil.com.

Budweiser Clydesdales Ashton residents won’t be the only ones to hear the clip-clop of the legendary Budweiser Clydesdales. The horses are making a few stops throughout the Sauk Valley this weekend to deliver a Folds of Honor Scholarship to lucky Bureau Valley High School graduate Garrett Jackson, 19, of Sterling.

According to a news release from Budweiser, Garrett Jackson is the son of U.S. Air Force Technical Sgt. Aaron Jackson. The senior Jackson served more than 15 years in the Air Force. The scholarship organization awards students who are family members of military veterans.

“If the school district said this was a high-priority, of course we’d take a closer look at it,” Lee said.

“It’s no doubt a safety issue when kids are walking near the road, but I think the kids do a really good job of being careful.”

Lee said that with limited resources, public safety concerns must be prioritized.

said. “You need curb and gutter, green space, and then a sidewalk.”

Large 100-year-old trees near the high school library would also need to be removed, and the road needs to be expanded to accommodate all changes.

Mayor Skip Lee said that after his discussions with the school district, he is comfortable with putting the project on

ing with restaurants on meal specials, and prize donations by retailers.

At the end of the day, Morthland realizes movie choices bring viewers, and serving alcohol creates a niche for the theater.

“We try to get the first-run blockbusters because we know the choices must be largely based on popularity.”

Coming soon are “Jurassic World”, “AntMan”, “Minions”, and Disney’s “Inside Out”.

Morthland’s community focus seems to be bringing tangible results. City Manager Scott Shumard said the theater has operated in the black every month since Morthland took the management reins.

Depending on the movie, the theater has sold from 500 to 750 tickets on an opening weekend in the 416-seat theater. Some premiere weekends have brought in close to $10,000 in revenues, and more than $70,000 has been made since December.

Shumard said that while the improved box office numbers are encouraging, the project has always been about much more than ticket sales.

“This was also about avoiding a costly demo-

CONTINUED FROM A1

The series of management changes, however, have made it difficult for the theater to execute its business plan – one based on community involvement and support.

Morthland, a Rock Falls native, has stepped up promotions for a string of special events for children and adults.

Themed premiere activities range from pajama parties for “Paddington” and the latest “SpongeBob” release to drink specials and adult-only decorations for “Fifty Shades of Grey.”

The theater has also been opened to the YMCA Day Camp kids, fundraisers, rentals, corporate parties, and birthday packages. Contests on Facebook, freebies, and partnerships with other businesses are also being utilized to drive foot traffic to the theater.

“It’s about getting the word out through a combination of advertising, social media, and community involvement,” Morthland said. “Word of mouth is still a powerful tool.”

The business partnerships include work-

lition, keeping a landmark, and creating business opportunities in the Fourth Street storefronts and the entire downtown,” Shumard said.

The city receives $2,120 a month in rent from the four Fourth Street businesses, three of which had been vacant before the city fixed them up.

“The prior owner allowed the building to fall into such disrepair, that tenants left and no one could move right in,” Shumard said.

Asbestos was removed, and structural repairs were made. Between the theater and the storefronts, repairs were made to the sewer system, bowed walls, broken roof joists and leaking windows.

GSDC $550,000 to buy the property, the plan was to turn the loan payments over to the next buyer.

While the city is hesitant to rock the boat when there is some stability at the theater, the original plan is still in place.

“There is finally consistency in doing what we had originally planned, which is using the theater for community purposes,” GSDC Executive Director Heather Sotelo said. “The support is growing, and the community is vested in it.”

Sotelo said the theater is available, and there have been some interested parties. The improved financials has her confident the sales pitch will be more compelling.

“The theater is still for sale, but now the value is there and we have the numbers to back it up,” Sotelo said.

“This one isn’t unimportant, but I don’t think it’s as pressing as some other public works projects that pose safety hazards,” Lee said.

The two taxing bodies last summer teamed up to tear up a block between Miller and LeFevre. It cost more than $600,000 to redo the street, sidewalk, and curb and gutter.

majority of the Miller Road work, and we paid about $60,000 for extra sidewalk and some decorative lighting,” Everett said.

The city would also like to put off the sidewalk work until it can be done as part of a much bigger LeFevre expansion project.

“LeFevre needs to be completely rebuilt in the next decade, so it makes more sense to also do the sidewalk work at that time,” City Manager Scott Shumard said.

The school district said a stopgap measure was likely to be taken before the rebuild was done.

“The harsh winters we’ve had the last couple of years have made it much worse,” Everett said. “We’re looking at the possibility of just resurfacing the sidewalk in summer 2016.”

River Street should still hit start date RIVER STREET

CONTINUED FROM A1

The streetscape project began in May but work remains, with splattered concrete and sealant that needs to be cleaned up, something. Fischer’s employees have been working to resolve.

According to Mayor Li Arellano Jr., Tuesday’s decision to table the work doesn’t set the project back yet.

Jeffrey Reis, an engineer for Willet Hoffmann & Associates, the engineering firm overseeing the project, said he hopes to have work begin by July 6 and wants it finished no later than Nov. 1. Any later, he said, and cold weather will make construction difficult.

“It’s a 4-month project; that’s why the start date is so important,” Reis said.

Tuesday’s decision allows all parties involved to evaluate the situation, Arellano said.

“We wanted to make clear that there are certain things we want to get finished,” he said, following the meeting.

“We’re not sure if we’re comfortable with [Fischer] having the time to do

The Dixon City Council tabled a vote Tuesday to award a bid for the River Street project, amid concerns over delays in a separate streetscaping project.

However, Mayor Li Arellano Jr. said Tuesday’s action shouldn’t delay the start of the project. both projects simultaneously. So we’re going to explore that a little, given that they’re the low bid.”

Two other companies bid on the River Street project – Martin & Company Excavating at $2,455,511.58 and Civil Constructors Inc. at $2,510,316.38. All three companies also bid to pave River Street with concrete – instead of asphalt – but those bids would have added more

than $300,000 to the cost.

Although Martin & Company’s price was only slightly higher than Fischer’s, Arellano said the city would have to have a “very good reason” to turn down the low bid on a project. He requested city attorney Robert LeSage to look into any legal ramifications on the matter.

Council members recognized that the delay in the downtown proj-

ect wasn’t Fischer’s fault, and in a few days, they hope to have more answers that will help them decide who will ultimately be awarded the contract for River Street.

“We’re cognizant of the issues downtown related to progress,” Arellano said. “This gives us the opportunity to try to ramp up that project as much as possible and solve the issue.”

OBITUARY

Cancer claims life of Manson prosecutor LOS ANGELES – Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles County deputy district attorney who gained worldwide fame for his successful prosecutions of Charles Manson and his followers for the brutal 1969 murders of actress Sharon Tate and six others, has died.

He was 80.

Bugliosi, who went on to become a best-selling true crime writer, coauthoring the compelling account “Helter Skelter” about the Manson murders and the sensational trial that followed, died Saturday in a Los Angeles hospital.

He had had health issues in recent years and the cancer that he had overcome 3 years ago had recently returned and metastasized, according to his wife, Gail.

Along with the crime and courthouse tales that were his biggest sellers, Bugliosi turned his literary attention to other topics. He excoriated George W. Bush in a 2008 book for the U.S. military deaths in Iraq, arguing that the former

president should be tried for murder. In another, published in 2011, Vincent the former Bugliosi prosecutor, a longtime agnostic, coolly evaluated the evidence for the existence of God. Bugliosi was always aware, however, of his primary legacy.

“No matter what I do, I’ll be forever known as the Manson prosecutor,” he told the Los Angeles Times in 1994.

He attended the University of Miami on a tennis scholarship, earning a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He later received a law degree from the University of California, Los Angeles, where he was president of his 1964 graduating class.

In 1956, he married Gail Talluto, whom he had met in college. Their daughter, Wendy, was born in 1964 and their son Vincent J. in 1966.

He is survived by his wife and two children.

ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE

House property-tax freeze bill fails Rauner says plan falls short; Dems see efforts as compromise SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Democrats in the Illinois General Assembly and Gov. Bruce Rauner spent Tuesday talking about the same issue – relief from increasing local property taxes – but they talked past each other in a continuing deadlock over a state spending plan due

by June 30.

The Legislature returned for a second day of overtime work and teed up proposals to freeze the amount of property taxes local governments can collect, suggesting they’re identical to what the Republican governor wants, but Rauner denounced the plan as

falling short of reform he says is necessary to change the business and political environments in Illinois.

It didn’t matter anyway.

The House voted down both proposals – the closest fell 30 votes short of the 71 needed.

The first-term governor wants changes ranging from reducing business costs on insurance to cover injured workers to term limits to curtail politicians’ power before he’ll negotiate on a state budget. Entrenched legislative Democrats resisted those proposals all spring but adopted a budget they say covers vital services but which falls short of revenue

by as much as $4 billion.

The Democrats see their property tax offering – and one last week on workers’ compensation – as efforts at compromise. Rauner says he’s compromised too – reducing his “turnaround agenda” to five points – fair legislative remapping and restrictions on civil-liability lawsuits rounding out the plan.

“They’ve refused to have real negotiations on specific issues in those five bills,” Rauner told reporters outside the Executive Mansion as the House debated the tax measure.

Marengo Democratic Rep. Jack Franks’ plan would freeze at 2015 levels the

amount of property taxes that a local government can collect. If City Hall or a park board wants more, they have to ask voters.

That’s Rauner’s premise.

But his initiative would allow governments to prohibit discussion of certain issues in union negotiations over contracts, such as health insurance benefits or setting staffing levels for certain positions.

He also wants to exempt local governments from having to pay laborers on construction projects the “prevailing wage,” set by state law, which he says is often a union scale and most workers aren’t union members.

STERLING

Hastert makes first court appearance

Water company updating city’s infrastructure maps

Judge says he has no doubt he can be impartial on matter CHICAGO (AP) – A haggard Dennis Hastert appeared in court Tuesday for the first time since he was indicted, pleading not guilty to charges that he violated banking rules and lied to the FBI about promising to pay $3.5 million in hush money to conceal misconduct from his days as a high school teacher.

As his attorney entered the plea on his behalf, the 73-year-old former House speaker stood motionless, his hands folded and eyes downcast at the floor.

When the judge asked if he understood he had to submit a DNA sample and could go to jail if he violated any conditions of his release, the man who was once second in the line of succession to the presidency answered quietly, “Yes, sir.”

Hastert has not spoken publicly about the accusations that emerged 2 weeks ago and quickly raised questions about possible sexual abuse by the once-powerful Republican legislator from Illinois. Neither he nor his attorneys commented after the hearing.

The politician-turnedlobbyist is accused of evading federal banking laws by withdrawing hundreds of thousands of dollars in smaller amounts and lying about the money when questioned.

At the start of Tuesday’s hearing, Hastert reached into a coat pocket and pulled out his passport, handing it to his attorney, who turned it over to a court official. Sur-

STERLING – Illinois American Water is updating the way it finds its equipment in the field.

In addition to using printed maps, the company now relies on the experiences of its workers to locate its valves, hydrants, and water mains.

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert arrives Tuesday at the federal courthouse in Chicago for his arraignment on federal charges that he broke federal banking laws and lied about the money when questioned by the FBI. The indictment alleged Hastert agreed to pay $3.5 million to someone from his days as a high school teacher not to reveal a secret about past misconduct.

rendering foreign travel documents is a standard condition of release.

The former congressman was also ordered to have any firearms removed from his property by June 23 and was forbidden from having contact with victims or witnesses in the case.

Judge Thomas M. Durkin spent most of the 20-minute hearing explaining how he believed he had no conflict of interest in the matter but then giving attorneys on both sides until Thursday to say if they want him to stay on the case.

The issue came up because Federal Election Commission records indicate he donated $500 to the “Hastert for Congress” campaign in 2002 and $1,000 in 2004. Dur-

kin was an attorney at a Chicago law firm at the time of the contributions.

Durkin cited those donations and that he knew Hastert’s son Ethan.

The two worked together in private practice before Durkin became a judge.

But, the judge said, he does not consider the younger Hastert “a personal friend.”

To the best of his knowledge, he said, he never met Dennis Hastert.

“I have no doubt I can be impartial in this matter,” the judge said.

After the judge issue is resolved, Durkin or another judge brought in to replace him will lay out a timetable for prosecutors to share evidence with the defense. Hastert could seek a plea deal or take his case to a jury.

Lodge to be named for managers

Any trial would probably be many months away.

Appearing much thinner than in his days as speaker, Hastert walked into court slowly, slightly bent over. He appeared nervous as he sat at a defense table waiting for the hearing to begin, rubbing his chin, biting his lip and occasionally scanning the courtroom benches packed with reporters. At one point, a defense attorney reached over and patted him on the shoulder.

His lead attorney, Thomas C. Green, is based in Washington and has represented clients in the Watergate, Iran-Contra and Whitewater cases. Chicago attorney John Gallo is also on Hastert’s defense team. Steven Block is the lead U.S. prosecutor.

Teens to blame for crime spree?

ROCKFORD, (AP) – Rockford police say a group of teenagers are behind a series of armed robberies and carjackings, with women particularly being targeted.

The Rockford Register Star reported that police believe 20 juveniles are behind the crimes. Police said earlier this month that eight of them and an 18-year-old were arrested and charged with crimes that included a home invasion, robberies and vehicle thefts that happened in late May. According to police, teens from the group are behind an armed robbery and two vehicle thefts on Monday.

STATEHOUSE INSIDER

Tempers still running high in Legislature House GOP irked at Dems’ salary probe

Dave Granlund, GateHouse News Service

GUEST COLUMN

Elevated ethanol levels prompt legitimate concerns from experts Fuel distribution systems subject to premature failure WOLF H. KOCH Sterling

While SVM reporter Pam Eggemeier’s May 30 SV Weekend article titled “Latest EPA plan falls short of ’07 law” reported on current changes to EPA’s biofuel targets and mentioned infrastructure problems as reason for the changes, she devoted no additional space to exploring the reality of these infrastructure problems.

She did, however, devote space to unsubstantiated opinions by Ray Baker of Adkins Energy, speaking for the ethanol lobby, who claimed that these problems are “a myth perpetuated by big oil.”

She also reported on statements by our U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos claiming that the EPA proposal will lead to higher gas prices and increase our dependency on foreign oil – a rather naive view of energy issues.

LET ME ADDRESS the two issues and provide some background data on my qualifications in this area.

Biofuel infrastructure problems fall into general areas: the car and fuel distribution systems. On the vehicle side, carmakers have marketed socalled flex-fuel vehicles for many years. These are

cars capable of operating on any ethanol mixture between 10 percent (E10, commonly sold at most stations) and 85 percent (E85).

While many of today’s vehicles may be able to run on E15, some may not. With carmakers providing warranties up to 10 years, owners should consult their Wolf H. instrucKoch tion manuals prior to fueling E15 and possibly voiding their warranty.

The distribution system is a totally different story. Recent experimental work at Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the National Transportation Center at Oak Ridge National Laboratories (ORNL) have shown conclusively that elevated ethanol levels (even E15) may cause premature failure of some elastomers and plastics used in infrastructure equipment.

I have participated in some of this work and have coauthored three recent peer-reviewed publications on the subject. The reports from this work are readily available from ORNL, UL and the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).

In addition, during the last few years, most major oil companies have divested themselves of retail operations; the great majority of gas sta-

tions are now owned and operated by third parties, many of whom may not be able to afford the extensive and costly retrofits necessary. So much for the “myth perpetuated by big oil.”

As to the statement regarding energy dependency, let us look at the facts. For a number of years now, the domestic oil industry has exported about 25 percent of all refined products to other countries, enabling refinery operations to run at close to maximum throughout and thus keeping gasoline pricing high.

THIS IN TURN HAS provided the impetus for much of the nonconventional exploration (i.e. shale fracking), which has had a major impact on decreasing our dependency on foreign oil.

Ironically, the current lower crude price has decreased capital expenditures for shale exploration significantly and is responsible for increasing our dependency again. Any impact of ethanol production is completely lost in this equation.

Finally, some additional information regarding my qualifications to comment on energy issues. I spent almost a decade managing refinery product distribution technology development for Amoco, leaving 20 years ago to start a consulting business covering this area as

My clients have included government agencies, trade associations, and many of the equipment manufacturers.

All equipment found in the station environment must be tested extensively and approved for such service by independent listing organizations.

I am a volunteer member on 15 Standards Technical Panels for Underwriters Laboratories, panels that author and maintain test procedures for equipment listing (certification) for most station equipment.

If Thursday was any indication, this could indeed be a long, hot summer around the Capitol.

Much of the irritation centered on a hearing held by a Democraticcontrolled House committee looking into why Gov. Bruce Rauner’s top education adviser, Beth Purvis, has her $250,000 salary paid out of the Department of Human Services budget.

The Rauner administration fired off a statement that the hearing was a sexist attempt to undermine a female adviser to the governor. They also put out a chart showing several top Democratic legislative staffers earn more than Purvis – if you add the estimated cost of their health insurance and pensions to their base salaries. Needless to say, this did not sit well with Democrats on the committee.

“Those comments were degrading to the process, and they must stop,” said Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, when hard feelings about the morning committee hearing spilled onto the House floor in the afternoon.

Following Lang, Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, expressed his thoughts about the hearing.

“I saw a sham, a charade, a kangaroo court,” he said before apparently running out of adjectives.

Apparently, the 3-day respite between session days for the House did little to cool anyone’s temper.

Bobcat bunch By now, everyone knows the Legislature passed a bill to allow bobcat hunting in the state.

It is not a popular idea with everyone, including the Humane Society of the United States. Society President and CEO Wayne Pacelle issued a statement criticizing the bill.

He referred to bobcats as “small, non-threatening, beautifully adorned North American cats.”

He ridiculed a lawmaker who said he saw a bobcat on his property that was as big as a saber-toothed tiger.

“Most bobcats weigh about 20 pounds, with the biggest of them getting to 30 pounds (about the size of my little beagle mix),” Pacelle wrote.

And then there was this.

“They are not only small, but shy and fearful of people – and with good reason, given the murderous bunch in Springfield clamoring to kill them for fun,” he wrote.

Whew. The Illinois General Assembly has been called a lot of things, but a “murderous bunch” might be a first.

Finally, all spoke A week ago Saturday was the next to last scheduled day of the spring session.

Both the House and Senate were plowing through bills, trying to get as much as possible done before May 31 passed, and more votes were needed to approve legislation.

One of the bills up for debate dealt with body cameras for police officers. It was an important bill and an important piece of compromise legislation aimed at addressing the recent controversies over police officers shooting unarmed suspects.

The House took up the bill first. It was debated for a while, when the debate suddenly was cut off to vote on the bill. It was apparently a misguided attempt to speed along the process so the House would have more time to take up additional bills.

Votes were cast, and it wasn’t even close. The bill got 102 “yes” votes out of a chamber with 118 members.

But Republican lawmakers were furious because many of their members didn’t get a chance to speak on the bill before debate was shut down.

They said they should have had a chance to weigh in on such an important bill, even though it had just been overwhelmingly approved.

A couple of hours later, a motion was made to reconsider the vote on the camera bill. It wasn’t because people had suddenly changed their minds. It was to give everyone a chance to speak about it. When everyone was done, another vote was taken. This time the bill got 107 “yes” votes.

But at least, everyone got a chance to talk.

AVIATION

Small-town airports close doors across country Fewer pilots taking to sky, interest down DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – For the first time in 60 years, airplanes won’t be roaring down the runway at the airstrip in Onawa, Iowa, this summer.

Racing dragsters will.

Like many small cities across the country, Onawa is closing its airfield largely because of the steady decline in the number of pilots, especially in rural areas. After June 30, dragsters will be using the 3,400-footlong concrete runway.

“It was a very hard decision for our council, but they decided it’s just not working,” said Bradley Hanson, administrator of the western Iowa city, tucked between the Missouri River and scenic Loess Hills.

Many small towns have had airfields almost since the early barnstorming days and expanded them after World War II when military pilots returned home, ready to resume work but eager to keep flying. The number of pilots with private certificates peaked at 357,000 in 1980.

Since then, though, that num-

AP

Gene Martin, owner of Martin Field, a small airfield in South Sioux City, Nebraska, prepares an aircraft for takeoff on June 1.

Martin recalls when teenagers would bike out to the airfield and pay for flight lessons with the money they earned from paper routes. Now, he says, young people seem more interested in video games or driving cars. ber has nose-dived to 188,000, and hundreds of local airfields have been closing.

Interest has waned as planes became much more costly.

New small planes that cost about $13,000 in the late 1960s now go for $250,000 or more, and owners also must pay more for specialized aviation

fuel, liability insurance, maintenance and hangar space.

So few planes touched down at the airport in nearby Hartley, Iowa, that the small community tore up its runway in 2010 and leased it to a farmer who now grows corn on the 80 acres.

“Nobody was buying airplanes, so when the runway

and hangars needed work, they decided to do away with it,” said Howard Orchard, the town’s unofficial historian.

Likewise, officials in the 6,000 person city of Hillsboro also found a more profitable use for their rarely used airfield. They sold it to a company mining coal.

“It was a hard pill to swallow for me to tell these guys we had to do away with it,” said Bill Baran, the mayor at the time, who broke the bad news to local fliers. Dozens of pilots had once used the field, but only two planes were still based there when officials agreed to sell it in 2008.

The pilot decline comes even as commercial aviation is drawing more passengers, with the industry expecting to see a record number of travelers this summer.

That success has come with a price, though, as the onceflashy image of flying has been tarnished by hectic airports, packed commercial jets and frequent delays. For many people, there remains little glamour in flying.

“Air travel is not nearly as interesting as it used to be,”

said Tom Haines, a pilot since 1977 and editor with the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.

At many small, rural airfields, where decades ago farmers, small-business owners and blue collar workers joined flying clubs and gathered for family barbecues amid the roar of planes, it now can be pretty quiet.

While some general aviation airports in urban areas remain busy, others have “a little of a ghost town feel,” said Haines.

At Martin Field in South Sioux City, Nebraska, owner Gene Martin recalls when teenagers would bike out to the airfield and pay for flight lessons with money they earned from paper routes. Now, young people seem more interested in video games, Martin said.

The number of flight instructors at his field has fallen from 12 to three, and they’re not especially busy, he said.

Still, he’s turned down offers to sell his 130 acres to housing developers.

“We’re trying to hang in there,” said Martin, whose grandfather started the airfield in the 1930s.

SENIOR MEMENTO

Airline group calls for smaller Lure of hard-bound yearbooks carry-on bags to free up bins remains for today’s digital teens Revenue on printed publications has held steady for past 5 years

Details on how new guideline would be implemented murky NEW YORK (AP) – Millions of fliers might soon want to buy new carry-on suitcases.

Global airlines announced Tuesday a new guideline that recommends shrinking carry-on bags, in an effort to free up space in packed overhead bins.

The guideline, which is not binding, means that many existing bags currently in compliance with airline rules would not be given preferential treatment in the boarding process. While details of how the guideline will be implemented are murky, and could vary from airline to airline, it raises the possibility that many fliers would be forced to check their favorite carry-on bag.

Fliers might ultimately need to buy smaller suitcases or pay a fee to check their bags, typically $25 each way.

The recommendation by the International Air Transport Association suggests an “optimal” carry-on size at 21.5 inches tall by 13.5 inches wide by 7.5 inches deep. That’s smaller than the current maximum size allowed by many airlines.

For instance, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines and United Airlines all currently allow bags up to 22 inches by 14 inches

CHICAGO – Huddling in the hallways and sprawling out on the lawn of the Prospect High School campus, in suburban Mount Prospect, hundreds of teenagers set aside their smartphones and tablets in favor of poring over the glossy pages of their high school yearbooks.

“With social media, the pictures and messages we post kind of go up, and then they go away,” said senior Caroline Chengary, 18, editor-inchief of the 2015 Prospect yearbook, “Crest,” which was distributed to students recently.

“I always loved looking at my mom’s old high school yearbooks. … It’s

the one tangible thing from high school that you can keep with you, and look back at when you’re older,” she said.

Many of today’s teens are tethered to their digital gadgets and rarely crack a magazine or even a traditional, hardcover textbook. Yet students, teachers and industry experts say high school yearbooks remain surprisingly popular among the so-called digital natives of the Snapchat generation.

Printed products have continued a downward spiral with the surge of digital technology.

Yet despite a decline in spending per pupil on yearbooks, revenue on the publications nation-

wide has held steady for the past 5 years, in part because of an increase in student enrollment, according to a 2014 report from IBIS World, a market research firm.

“We’ve tried digital yearbooks, but we’ve found that there’s something very central to people looking through a hard-copy yearbook, to actually feel the book in your hand,” said Kelvin Miller, corporate vice president of Lifetouch, a chain of portrait studios that also produces yearbooks.

“With a high school yearbook, all you need to look at it are your two human eyes, and that will stay the same 100 years from now,” Miller said.

Daughter with absent father deserves truth Dear Abby, Several months after I had my first daughter from a 6-year relationship that ended sadly, I started flirting with a married man. (I realize now that I was still heartbroken and trying desperately to forget my ex.) The flirtation turned into a full-blown affair that resulted in another child. Her father isn’t in the picture because the now-ex-wife (who still lives with him) forbids him from having any contact whatsoever with our daughter.

I admit I have lied by telling my little girl that her daddy is a worka-

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

holic, and that’s the reason he doesn’t see her when she asks about him. She is now 4. How or when do I tell her the truth? Would counseling help?

– On the Spot in California

Dear On the Spot, You didn’t mention whether your former lover is contributing financially to the support of his daughter, but if he isn’t, please make sure he does. An attorney can help, and so can the child-support agency in your state.

And yes, it would also be a good idea to discuss this with a counselor to help you communicate to your daughter, in a way that’s age-appropriate and won’t damage her self-esteem, that Daddy won’t be in the picture.

It’s important she knows she can trust her mother to give honest answers

when she asks a question, because if she doubts it, it may create problems when she’s older.

Dear Abby, My husband and I were going along in life, doing it our way, until we decided we wanted to return to the church, so we stopped drinking and smoking pot. We hit a rough patch in that journey and divorced, but we didn’t stop going to church. It’s crazy, I know.

After we divorced, I knew I messed up and deep down I knew I loved him.

So, now that we have remarried, it seems like he’s taking the role of

Christian husband back to biblical times. This means he is the head of the house (which I get), but to the point where I am almost like a fixture.

I would say I’m here for my looks, but I am overweight. I would say it’s for the sex, but it isn’t happening morning, noon and night, if you know what I mean. I would say it is the money, but now, after his last raise, he makes more than I do.

He cooks most of the time because he gets home before me. The house is always clean, and we share the household bills and expenses. So, I’m kinda lost and confused.

Do I have a purpose here?

Or am I only here to help pay the bills?

Dear Starting to Wonder, Only your husband can answer that question.

However, part of a husband’s duties to his wife is to make her feel “honored and cherished,” and if that isn’t happening, your remarriage is in trouble. Marriage counseling (possibly within the church) might help you to reconnect with each other, and I strongly recommend it. Unless you find out why you’re unhappy and fix it, this marriage will not last.

With grilled chicken breasts with strawberry red wine balsamic sauce, the hearty taste of a grill pairs particularly well with the sweet lightness of fruit.

Now’s the best time for one of America’s most popular fruits: Strawberries

BY DANIEL NEMAN Tribune News Service

N

ow is the best time of the year. It’s strawberry time.

So juicy. So sweet. So delicious. So soft-tender on your tongue.

No sensation in the world can compare to eating a plump, sunwarmed strawberry straight off the vine. It is all that is good about the world, concentrated into one perfect, succulent bite.

Strawberries are the fifth most popular fruit in the United States. In 2012, America grew more than 3 billion pounds of the berries. In fact, if you took all the strawberries grown in California alone and laid them end to end, they would circle the globe 15 times.

That’s a lot of berries.

But why not? Almost everybody loves strawberries. They’re good for you – ounce for ounce, they contain more vitamin C than citrus fruit – and a full cup of them has only 50 calories, according to the University of Illinois Extension.

In celebration of the powerfully flavorful little fruit, I made three dishes.

One was a straight-up dessert, one was an appetizer that was nevertheless somewhat sweet and one, just to be ornery, was an entree.

You don’t usually see strawberries in entrees.

But I think you’ll like this one. It’s grilled chicken breasts with strawberry red wine balsamic sauce.

The recipe comes from Driscoll’s, the largest supplier of strawberries in the country.

Let’s start with the first part first: the boneless, skinless chicken breasts are grilled (or in my case, cooked on a grill pan).

That gives them the inimitable, hearty taste of a grill (or a grill pan) that happens to pair particularly well with the sweet lightness of fruit.

Which brings us to the second part: the strawberry red-wine balsamic sauce. Flavored with shallots, garlic, bay leaf and thyme, this sauce has a warm and earthy taste that melds pleasantly with the grilled

Cold strawberry soup packs a remarkably satisfying sweet-and-creamy punch. goodness of the chicken.

Which brings us to the third part: the strawberries themselves.

Although most of the strawberries are cooked into the sauce, others are sliced and laid on top of the meat. They add not only a hint of sweetness to the dish but also an unexpectedly tart undertone that plays off the warmth of the sauce.

Put it all on a bed of rice, and you have a deliciously different meal.

For the appetizer course, I made a soup that is even more deliciously different. Strawberry soup, of course.

This recipe from the Food Network is deceptively easy to make, yet it packs a remarkably satisfying sweet-and-creamy punch. All you do is throw some strawberries, half and half, sour cream, sugar and lemon juice into a blender or food processor and puree it all together.

The result is a thick, rich soup that would be just the thing on a hot summer’s day. You wouldn’t want to eat too much of it – this is definitely an appetizer – but a little bit would make a smooth and elegant

introduction to any summertime meal.

The strawberry dessert I made would also be perfect for serving to guests.

Strawberry mascarpone trifle is a little more complicated, but only a little. It involves four different layers that should be assembled at the last minute, but each one can be made a day ahead of serving.

The bottom layer is the easiest of all: ladyfingers.

Go to a store and buy ladyfingers (I went to an Italian specialty store, but many grocers also carry them). Simple.

On top of them goes a strawberry puree, which is made by gently heating strawberries and sugar for a couple of minutes and then pureeing them.

The layer on top of that is sliced strawberries that have been macerating in a bit of sugar and lemon juice until they swim in their sweet juices.

And the layer on top of that is a quick mixture of mascarpone cheese, yogurt, vanilla and sugar.

This combination is an intriguing alternative to the custard found in most trifles, and the yogurt gives it a lively tang.

If you have any strawberries left over, you might want to place a whole, fresh berry on the top of every serving.

It just looks right. It just feels right.

What better way to celebrate the wonders found at this, the best time of the year?

Strawberry Mascarpone Trifle Yield: 4 servings 1½ pints fresh straw-

berries, rinsed, drained and hulled ½ cup granulated sugar Juice of half a lemon 6 ounces mascarpone ¼ cup plain low-fat yogurt 1 or 2 drops of pure vanilla extract 8 whole ladyfingers 1. Slice 1 pint of the strawberries thin and put them in a bowl. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons sugar and the lemon juice. Toss lightly and set aside for 15 minutes.

2. Coarsely chop the remaining strawberries and put them in a small, nonreactive saucepan with 2 tablespoons of the sugar. Cover and heat gently, stirring occasionally until the berries give off a fair amount of liquid, about 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the contents of the saucepan to a food processor and process to a smooth puree. Scrape the puree into a small bowl.

3. Put the mascarpone, yogurt, vanilla and remaining 4 tablespoons of sugar in a small bowl and stir with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until just smooth.

4. To assemble the trifle, split the ladyfingers in half and lay 4 halves in each of the 4 individual dessert bowls. Divide the strawberry puree among the bowls, spreading it over the ladyfingers.

Cover each one with some of the strawberries and their juice, then top with a generous spoonful of the mascarpone mixture.

Sugar: A multi-faceted addiction

BY SHERRY DEWALT CGH Medical Center

You probably underestimate the connection between what you put in your mouth and how it affects your feelings, moods, and ability to think clearly. I’m not talking about alcohol or other mind-altering substances, although there is a connection.

Dr. Kathleen DesMaisons, who worked in a drug- and alcohol-treatment facility, noticed that many patients being treated for chemical addictions also seemed to be predisposed or “addicted’ to consuming

sweets and other simple carbohydrate foods.

She was so intrigued by this that she returned to school to study the effect of those foods on our brain chemicals.

What she discovered is that the consumption of

sugar does, indeed, affect the release of dopamine and serotonin – brain chemicals that result in feeling rewarded, calm, happy, or relaxed. In fact, when researchers perform brain scans on someone eating something sweet, they see the brain light up in the same regions as it would in an alcoholic after a drink.

Dopamine – the reward chemical – spikes and reinforces the desire to have more. It’s no wonder that many people turn to those foods for comfort.

And it’s probably no surprise that many peo-

sugar in our diet is soda pop. We also get a lot from candy, cakes, cookies, pies, fruit drinks, dairy desserts and milk products (ice cream, sweetened yogurt and sweetened milk).

Significant amounts of sugar can also show up in products where you might not expect it, like barbecue potato chips, bread, and salad dressings.

Begin paying attention to how much sugar you consume. Read labels carefully and note the sugar content of bottled and packaged foods.

Sugar is listed in grams

on nutrition labels. Since many of us can relate more easily to teaspoons, just multiply the number of grams by 4 to figure out the equivalent teaspoons.

It’s hard to go cold turkey where sugar is concerned, and as with many addictive substances, you may experience withdrawal symptoms. My advice would be to begin reducing your sugar consumption gradually.

I would also highly recommend Dr. DesMaison’s books, “Potatoes Not Prozac” and “The Sugar Addict’s Guide to Total Recovery.”

Sweet sauce shines in dish CONTINUED FROM A9

BY GRETCHEN MCKAY Tribune News Service

Eggs are a cheap and easy source of protein, but you can get tired of the same old way of preparing them, i.e. scrambling and frying.

These easy baked eggs (also called shirred eggs) are an elegant alternative.

Prepared in individual ramekins on a bed of baby spinach – abundant this time of year in farmers markets – this recipe is about as divine as they come. Instead of the usual salt and pepper, the eggs gets their zing from an onion-y yogurt sauce and a liberal dusting of sumac, a ground fruit with a bright and tangy flavor that’s a favorite in Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cooking.

The original recipe calls for labneh, a soft cheese made from strained yogurt, but I used Greek yogurt with terrific results.

Paired with a salad and buttered toast, this dish makes a simple, rustic brunch or dinner. But it’s also delicious for breakfast.

ple begin to crave more and more sugary things.

Over time, sugar consumption affects other brain chemicals as well.

High sugar consumption has been linked to low levels of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, which supports memory and learning. Low BDNF levels have also been linked to depression and dementia.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates that the average American consumes 156 pounds of added sugar each year. The largest single source of added

Proposed Kraft-Heinz merger clears a hurdle

BY ALEJANDRA CANCINO Tribune News Service

CHICAGO – The proposed acquisition of Kraft Foods Group by H.J. Heinz cleared a waiting period required under law, bringing the deal one step closer to completion, the companies said Tuesday.

The waiting period, set by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, allowed the Federal Trade Commission and

the Department of Justice to get information about the transaction before it happens.

Kraft shareholders are set to vote July 1 on whether the company should be acquired by the ketchup maker. The combination would create the third largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth largest worldwide.

Terms call for each

share of Kraft to be converted into the right to one share of Kraft Heinz.

Kraft will also declare a special cash dividend of $16.50 per Kraft share.

Heinz’s owners are expected to own about 51 percent of the new company, with Kraft shareholders holding the rest.

If approved, the new company, Kraft Heinz, will be traded on Nasdaq under “KHC.”

Another Giant no-hitter Rookie Heston blanks Mets

BY RONALD BLUM AP Baseball Writer

NEW YORK – Chris Heston pitched the first no-hitter in the majors this season in his 13th career start, leading the San Francisco Giants over the New York Mets 5-0 Tuesday night.

The rookie allowed three baserunners – all on hit batters. He also had a tworun single for his first big league RBIs, and finished with two more hits than the Mets.

“Lot of emotions going through my mind right now,” Heston said moments after the final out. “Hasn’t sunk in yet. Looking forward to catching my breath and celebrating a little bit.”

ver the last 5 weeks, the nation has turned its eyes toward horse racing to follow the progression of American Pharoah through each obstacle of the Triple Crown.

Like most of you out there, I know little to nothing about horse racing – and I at least have the advantage of being married to a woman who owns a horse – although it’s not a horse with any interest in racing.

Each year – at least since 1978 – those following the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes have learned why the Triple Crown is one of the most elusive achievements in all of sports.

danWOESSNER Sports Editor Reach him at dwoessner@ saukvalley.com or 800-7984085, ext. 5555.

Three races in a 5-week span is a lot for a high-level race horse. Each track is in a different state, meaning lots of travel, and each track is a different length. Oh, the field in each race isn’t the same. A hopeful might face a group of fresh-legged opponents in the

Belmont.

So, American Pharoah’s achievement is appreciated as something extraordinary by even the most novice of spectators.

This spring the SVM sports department took on the task of becoming more informed about perhaps the most diverse of high school sports – track & field.

In the 14-part Track & Field 101 series, the SVM staff looked at each event at a standard track meet and talked to local athletes and experts about how to succeed in each.

The goal of the series was to allow our readers to gain a greater appreciation of the track athletes they read about

daily in our section, and for us, as reporters, to understand when something truly unique happens right before us.

Part of the series was to generate an all-time list of the best times, heights and distances from area athletes.

We wanted this list because it provided context for each story on who, when and from which school some of the best performances have come from over the years.

It’s sort of like everyone knowing that the last Triple Crown had occurred in 1978, and that 12 horses had won the first two legs since then, only to lose in the Belmont.

NBA FINALS | CAVALIERS 96, WARRIORS 91

Cavs halfway to history Cleveland takes 2-1 series lead over Warriors

BY JASON LLOYD Akron Beacon Journal

CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers are halfway to their first championship in franchise history.

LeBron James scored 40 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and passed for eight assists, guard Matthew Dellavedova scored 20 points in Game 3, and the Cavaliers beat the Golden State Warriors 96-91 to take a 2-1 series lead in the NBA Finals Tuesday night.

Game 4 is Thursday at Quicken Loans Arena.

SPORTS inside

Nice start LeBron James has 123 points, 36 rebounds and 25 assists through three games of the NBA Finals the heavily-favored Warriors despite all odds.

“We know we have to get more out of ourselves than maybe even humanly possible sometimes,” Cavs coach David Blatt said. “But that’s the situation. We have a chance to do something very special, and if it requires us to go above and beyond, that’s what we’ve got to do.”

James made two huge plays near the end of the game to secure the victory, slapping the ball away from Curry to force a turnover, and later stealing an inbounds pass from Curry.

James was fouled after the steal and made both free throws to put the Cavs ahead 92-83 in the final minute.

Curry committed three turnovers in the last 2 minutes, including two in the final minute. But he also made a 3-pointer from the corner with AP 28 seconds left to pull the WarWarriors guard Stephen Curry and Cavaliers forward LeBron riors within 92-88.

James go to the floor Tuesday for a loose ball during Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland. The Cavs won, 96-91.

NHL | COMMENTARY

Hawks lament squandered chances

C

HICAGO – Disbelief still covered Marian Hossa’s face as he recounted the makeable shot he missed wide left in a loss defined by lost opportunities.

“The rebound came to me, and as I tried to finish it, I was tripped and lost my balance and wasn’t able to shoot the puck the way I wanted,’’ he said Monday after the Blackhawks’ 3-2 defeat to the Lightning in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final. “We had some great chances.”

None loomed larger than the one in the first period that offered a chance to make the guests uncomfortable.

Lightning goalie Ben Bishop left the crease, rolling out the red carpet to the blue paint, yet somehow Hossa couldn’t score from 10 feet away.

When Hossa’s shot sailed away, so did the chance to seize early momentum. When defenseman Braydon Coburn tripped Hossa, it knocked him off balance just enough to keep the Hawks from hitting their stride.

Hossa reacted by thrusting his head back and looking to the rafters for answers. Now the real search begins.

The Hawks must figure out how to rally against a team that simply has been better through three games.

After stealing Game 1, the Hawks have been outplayed two straight times by an opponent executing at a higher level with the game on the line than the team with the championship experience and pedigree.

More than one Hawks veteran reminded everybody they also trailed the Bruins 2-1 in the 2013 finals. But for history to repeat itself, the Hawks must find a way to slow a Lightning team so fast it threatens

davidHAUGH

Near the end of one of the Hawks’ sharpest power plays in recent memory, Richards fired a rocket from the blue line. Perhaps sensing Andrew Shaw to his right, Bishop raised his glove hand and the puck bounced off it. As welcome of a breakthrough as that represented, an uncomfortable feeling loomed that the Hawks should have ended the first period up 3-1 instead of tied.

Bishop labored early, suggesting the injury that knocked him out of the final 9 minutes of Game 2 lingered. He created more rebounds than Warriors guard Steph Curry did Sunday in setting an NBA Finals record for 3-point misses. Bishop found out he was playing when he arrived at the arena.

“That kid said, ‘Give me the net,’ “ Lightning coach Jon Cooper said.

The Hawks helped Bishop, who got stronger despite obvious limitations. When he stopped Antoine Vermette on a 2-on-1, Hossa was open. When the Hawks later enjoyed a man advantage, their execution was as shoddy as it was sharp earlier.

It won’t be a game most Hawks fans will want to watch again.

He’s too hard a worker and he’s got such a great work ethic.”

What did anyone expect Nicklaus to say?

GOLF | ON THE FRINGE

DUBLIN, Ohio – Jack Nicklaus gets asked more about Tiger Woods than he ever did about the golf ball.

The only difference is the nature of the question.

For the longest time, it used to be, “Do you think Tiger will break your record in the majors?” Now it has become, “What’s wrong with Tiger?”

The answer is the same. Nicklaus really doesn’t know.

Woods might not, either.

Nicklaus was in the broadcast booth at the Memorial on Saturday afternoon watching the highlights – really, the lowlights – of Woods posting a career-high 85 on a Muirfield Village course where he has won five times. There was a mixture of sympathy and surprise.

“I don’t have an answer for it, an explanation,” Nicklaus said.

“I’m sure that he probably doesn’t, either. I think he’ll get it back, though. I still do. I think

what kind of headlines Nicklaus would create if he ever said anything else? It was a subtle suggestion to stop asking, not that it worked.

What caused the question to go away was Woods.

Can anyone remember the last time Nicklaus was asked whether his record in the majors was safe?

Woods hasn’t won a major in 7 years. He hasn’t won anything in nearly 2 years. He has as

many rounds in the 80s as he does the 60s this season. A world ranking of No. 181. Winning a major? Some younger players, unaware of the 10-year exemption for winning a U.S. Open, have been asking how Woods was exempt to Chambers Bay next week.

Nicklaus was asked about Woods Sunday morning, when the best players of each college division were honored with the Jack Nicklaus Award. They were sitting on a stage with Nicklaus when he was asked if he could ever relate to what Woods was facing, and the college kids also were asked to weigh in.

“I don’t want to relate to it,” Nicklaus said, “and I don’t think they do, either.”

Le Sommer scores first Cup goal By the Associated Press

Eugenie Le Sommer scored her first Women’s World Cup goal, and France beat England 1-0 on Tuesday in rainy Moncton, New Brunswick.

Le Sommer scored her 45th career international goal in the 29th minute.

Gaetane Thiney forced a turnover by England and Le Sommer won the loose ball, took two touches and hammered in a shot from 20 yards.

Brazil 2, South Korea 0: Marta scored her 15th

career women’s World Cup goal to become the all-time leader in tournament history, leading Brazil to a win over South Korea in Montreal.

The five-time world player of the year scored on a penalty kick in the 53rd minute to put Brazil up 2-0, giving her 15 career World Cup goals and surpassing the 14 goals scored by Germany’s Brigit Prinz.

Marta’s penalty came after Formiga was fouled

by South Korea’s Sohyun Cho inside the box, and she sent the penalty into the lower left corner of the goal for the record score.

Formiga had Brazil’s first goal, and the 37-yearold became the oldest player to score in tournament history – doing so in her sixth World Cup.

Colombia 1, Mexico 1: Daniela Montoya’s

booming goal from outside the penalty area in

the 82nd minute helped Colombia recover for a draw against Mexico in the women’s World Cup in Moncton, New Brunswick.

Veronica Perez put Mexico up 1-0 in the 35th minute, turning after a corner kick and firing a right-footed shot that Colombian goalkeeper Castano Cardoso Derly Stefany was unable to keep from just crossing the line.

Yoreli Rincon nearly equalized for Colombia in the 59th minute, but her free kick over the outstretched Mexican goalkeeper Cecelia Santiago hit the post. However, Montoya tied the game in the final 10 minutes.

Spain 1, Costa Rica 1: Raquel Rodriguez

Cedeno’s first-half goal gave Costa Rica a draw against Spain at Montreal on Tuesday in the Women’s World Cup debut for both countries.

Rodriguez scored in the 14th minute off a centering pass from Katherine Alvarado, one minute after Vicky Losada put Spain ahead.

Spain controlled the possession for much of the second half, with Jennifer Hermoso and Sonia Bermudez narrowly missing chances soon after halftime.

Losada had another late opportunity, but Costa Rica goalkeeper Dinnia Diaz saved a shot headed to the top left part of the goal.

Old stories shared through series nity, and we got it with information from great performances from the past.

In many were stories.

Like the one of the 1,600-meter record at Oregon held by Ben Carpenter. He’s held it since 1995, but during the 1995 season, the record was broken three times by three different runners.

Chad Harvey broke it first early in the season.

At the state preliminaries, Jake Carpenter broke it again, and held the record

France slips past England

for less than 20 minutes, as his twin brother, Ben, broke it in the next heat.

Since then, it has lasted 20 years.

Or there’s interesting tidbits, like one sent in by Bob Watson, the publisher of the Carroll County Mirror-Democrat about Mark H. Mullin, who ran the 1,600 in 4:23.6 at the state finals in 1958 for Mount Carroll Mullin’s father, Francis, was the president of Shimer College, then based in Mount Carroll.

Mark went on to run at Harvard, winning the Ivy League championship 3 years in a row from 196062. Mullin wrote a book in 2007 entitled “The Headmaster’s Run.” All of these make the series valuable to us, and it adds to the history of the names on that list.

Over the coming years, I hope to try some similar series in other sports that celebrate the complexity of athletics and remember some of the history in the area.

LeBron James holds off Andre Iguodala during Tuesday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals in Cleveland.

James scored 40 points in the Cavaliers’ 96-91 win over the Warriors.

Curry, Warriors can’t finish off comeback HISTORY

CONTINUED FROM B1

A pair of James free throws made it 94-88, but Curry cut the lead in half with a 3-pointer from the wing. The Warriors trailed the entire night and couldn’t get any closer, however, in losing consecutive games for the second time in this postseason.

They also fell behind 2-1 to the Memphis Grizzlies in the conference semifinals before rallying to win three straight.

But the Grizzlies didn’t have James.

Curry scored 27 points, including 17 in the fourth quarter (five 3-pointers) after another slow start.

James and Dellave-

dova combined for the Cavs’ first 17 points of the third quarter and the Cavs extended their lead to 68-48, their largest lead of the night. Yet just when the Warriors looked overwhelmed and fading, they found a way to climb back.

Curry made a 3-pointer and a pull-up jumper near the end of the third, then the Warriors outscored the Cavs 15-3 to start the fourth.

Klay Thompson and Andre Iguodala made 3-pointers, David Lee completed a three-point play, and the Warriors pulled within 77-73 on Curry’s third 3-pointer of the night. He had a chance to tie the game at 79 a few minutes later, but his 3-pointer rimmed out.

David Robertson replaced Duke and picked up his 12th save in 15 tries.

Sanchez said. “I give all the credit to James [McCann] – I don’t think I shook him off once all night.”

Blake Hickman, RHP, Iowa over pitchers. It’s worked out well the last 2 years with Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber, both college players, while 2012 pick Albert Almora, a high school outfielder, remains a work in progress.

Jason McLeod, senior vice president of scouting and player development, reiterated that when all things are equal, the Cubs philosphy is to go with the hitter over the pitcher.

“They’re the ones that usually pan out the best,” McLeod said. “Talent being equal, probably we’d lean towards the college position player.

But we’ve taken the guys the last 3 or 4 years we felt was simply the best player at that pick.

“It just so happens now that 3 years running it’s Bryant and Schwarber and now Ian Happ, and they’ve all been college position players. You go through your process, you trust the evaluations and you trust your process.

“We’re not going to take a player who we feel is a lesser talent or who will provide less of an impact to the organization. We did take the long-term view, and that’s what we did with this selection.”

The Sox are focusing on starting pitching, and have a quality pitcher in Fulmer who has a chance to come up in September and pitch out of the bullpen, even though he’ll be a starter in the long-term.

That was the original

plan for Carlos Rodon, but the suspensions in April to Chris Sale and Jeff Samardzija forced the Sox to put Rodon in the rotation and he’s been their second-best starter since, after Sale.

Fulmer’s mid-90s fastball, power curve and changeup are all plus pitches, and Sox director of amateur scouting Doug Laumann isn’t concerned about an unorthodox delivery.

“You can’t pass on guys that win and guys that are effective and guys that get people out,” Laumann said.

Sale’s delivery is also unorthodox, of course, and Sale may be on his way to becoming the best pitcher in Sox history, as evidenced by his 14-strikeout game on Monday against the Astros.

With Samardzija’s future unknown since he’ll be a free agent after the season, the Sox can probably count on a rotation of Sale, Rodon, Jose Quintana and Fulmer in 2016 and beyond.

Sox fans can get a glimpse of their next potential star in the upcoming College World Series, after Vanderbilt advanced on Monday with a win over Illinois.

The pitching-rich Giants have thrown a no-hitter in four straight seasons, with Heston following Matt Cain’s perfect game against Houston in 2012 and hitless gems by Tim Lincecum in 2013 and ‘14.

The only other team to accomplish that feat was the Los Angeles Dodgers from 1962-65, according

to STATS. Hall of Famer Sandy Koufax pitched all four of those.

Heston (6-4) struck out 11 – six looking – for the defending World Series champions and allowed just two balls into the outfield.

After plunking Anthony Recker with a pitch to start the ninth, the righthander threw called third strikes past pinch-hitter Danny Muno, Curtis Granderson and Ruben Tejada. Heston walked

calmly off the mound toward home plate and was hugged by catcher Buster Posey.

“It’s fun to see good things happen to good people,” Posey said.

The last pitch was a 91 mph sinker that froze Tejada. As the Citi Field crowd of 23,155 gave Heston a standing ovation, Giants teammates came out of the dugout and bullpen to mob him.

He received another ovation as he walked off the

field.

Heston said he was extra nervous going into the ninth, but he didn’t want to change his approach at all.

“Attack the zone. Don’t let the nerves get to me. Just throw quality strikes, and that didn’t change in the ninth,” he said. “Some extra nerves going on. Taking a little more deep breaths out there. I realized it and it was awesome to be part of it.”

Class 3A State Tournament

Chicago teams fill needs in draft The Cubs and White Sox both got exactly what they wanted with their first-round picks on Monday.

For the Cubs, it was another strong college hitter in Cincinnati’s Ian Happ, while the Sox chose one of the top college arms in Vanderbilt’s Carson Fulmer.

The strange part is the Cubs could use a stud pitcher in their system like Fulmer who’s close to being major league ready. Their top pitching prospect is Carl (formerly C.J.) Edwards Jr., who has been converted to a reliever this year and is now at Triple-A Iowa.

Conversely, the Sox could use a quality outfielder like Happ in their system to push for a major league job, with top prospect Courtney Hawkins hitting only .234 in four minor league seasons, including .251 this year at Double-A Birmingham.

Nevertheless, both teams are excited about the futures of their firstrounders, as every other team is on draft day.

The Cubs’ selection of Happ with the ninth pick of the draft continues a trend of selecting hitters

Class 4A State Tournament

By the Associated Press

Jose Abreu hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, Carlos Rodon threw six scoreless innings, and the White Sox beat Houston 4-2 on Tuesday night in Chicago to hand the Astros their sixth straight loss despite top draft pick Carlos Correa hitting his first homer.

Abreu’s 10th home run of the season broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the sixth and propelled Chicago to its second win to start the three-game series with the AL West-leading Astros. The reigning AL rookie of the year hadn’t homered since June 3, but his line drive over the fence in right-center field off Dallas Keuchel drove in Alexei Ramirez and gave Chicago the lead.

That homer and Melky Cabrera’s two-run double in the eighth were enough for the White Sox to continue the Astros’ slide. During their losing streak, the Astros have been held to two runs or fewer five times.

Chicago led 4-0 in the ninth before Chris Carter doubled to start the inning when the White Sox couldn’t catch his high popup in short right field. Correa, who was 2-for-4, then took a Zach Duke pitch into

The tough lead to remember well

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Christina Rossetti, a 19thcentury English poet, said, “Better by far that you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.”

In bridge, though, if you remember, you will often end up smiling; if you forget, you will surely be sad.

In today’s deal, look only at the West hand.

East opens one club, South overcalls four spades, and after two passes, East doubles to show a very strong hand that is presumably short in spades.

After West decides to pass (do you agree?), what should he lead?

East might open two clubs, but three-suiters need bidding space, which would

be at a premium after a two clubs-two diamonds-three clubs start to the sequence.

South made a sensible four-spade overcall.

This would typically have required an eight-card suit,

but with two singletons, it was a good idea to consume as much bidding space as possible.

Make life as difficult for responder as you can.

Over East’s balancing double, West had a tough call. His balanced hand suggested defense, but his useful minor-suit honors hinted at offense. (In this layout, six clubs fails if South leads a spade.) I think most experts would have passed.

When the opponents sacrifice, especially at a high level, it is (almost always) right to lead a trump. In this carefully constructed deal, if everyone is playing double-dummy (knowing where all 52 cards lie), that is the only lead to defeat four spades.

South can be held to seven spades and two club ruffs in the dummy. © 2015 UFS

JOEL L. GERDES, ESTATE GAYLA TOPP, EXECUTOR

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Be a participant. Your community will benefit from your talents, and you will learn more about the environment you live in.

Important friendships will result from your involvement in local affairs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Excessive debt or overspending will leave you in a vulnerable position. Stick to your budget and limit major expenditures until your financial situation has stabilized. Stop being so generous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Dwelling on past regrets will

lead to a loss of confidence.

Focus on positive goals. A change in attitude will improve your image and increase your chance to advance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Don’t feel guilty if you pamper yourself once in a while.

Everyday pressures can take a toll on your health, and making a point to do the things you find most relaxing will help.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -Set aside some quiet time and give your mind the freedom to wander. A calming atmosphere will spark your imagination and help you formulate and initiate your ideas.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Difficulties getting along with others will quash any hope of group activities. Consider devoting your time and attention to something you can work on all by yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- The constant pursuit of career goals will limit the time you spend with loved ones. Leave room in your schedule to bond with those who mean the most to you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- A changing economy will keep you on your toes with regard to investments. Time you spend researching and developing your financial plans will be well spent.

Utilize and market your skills with precision.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Use your initiative. Waiting for someone else to lead the way will slow down your progress.

Step up to the plate and make things happen.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Attend local cultural events, or head to regions that inspire you. Don’t limit yourself to the same old routine. Investigate the neighborhood or an unfamiliar destination in order to discover something out of the ordinary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You can expand your job prospects and your circle of friends by becoming more involved in community affairs.

New friendships will result in more exposure for your ideas and plans.
