SERVING DIXON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1851

MISSOURI | NICHOLAS SHELEY CASE

Prosecutors to seek death penalty Convicted murderer’s arraignment is July 6

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

When it comes to Nicholas Sheley’s fate, Missouri prosecutors have made up their minds: He deserves to die.

Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Steve Jerrell said so in a document filed Monday in Jefferson County Court.

Sheley, 35, of Sterling, is in Jefferson County Jail in Hillsboro, charged with two counts of firstdegree murder and two counts of armed criminal action in the deaths of Jill and Tom Estes, an Arkansas couple killed in Fes-

tus, Missouri, in June 2008. Prosecutors say the husband and wife, both 54, were the last two of eight victims in Sheley’s weeklong murder spree.

He has been convicted in Illinois of murdering Russell Reed, 93; Ronald Randall, 65; Brock Branson, 29; Kilynna Blake, 20; her 2-yearold son, Dayan Blake, and Kenneth Ulve, 25; for which he is serving

six life sentences. Illinois does not have the death penalty.

In his notice of his intent to seek the death penalty, Jerrell wrote that the murders of Jill and Tom Estes were “outrageously or wantonly vile, horrible or inhuman in that [they] involved torture or depravity of mind.”

Brett Hall of Kasbeer describes the 1800’s-era woodworking tools he inherited from his great-grandfather, Lars Swanson, while working at the Old Settlers Log Cabin in Dixon. Hall will be turning one room of the cabin into a period woodworking shop, complete with no electricity, no artificial lights and all hand-powered tools. Hall will be at the cabin June 20 for the Rock River Garden Club’s “Bloomin’ on the Rock.” The Garden Faire is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the cabin on Lincoln Statue Drive. It will include talks, music, cabin tours, and vendors. A picnic lunch and treats will be sold.

MORRISON – With financing still up in the air, the city is proceeding with revised plans for a new wastewater treatment plant.

Advertising for bids on the estimated $21 million project went out Thursday, and they are scheduled for opening on July 29.

The city last year delayed the project another year at the recommendation of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. City officials were told new agency financing rules were being put in place that could make the project more affordable. The most important change to the city would be the addition of a 30-year loan option.

The EPA, however, told the city a couple of months ago that the extended loan period might not be possible. The city has decided to move ahead with construction plans under the assumption the loan will be for 20 years.

Two aggravating factors key points for prosecutor PENALTY

CONTINUED FROM A1

Jerrell also will seek to prove two other aggravating factors for why Sheley deserves the death penalty: that “the murder ... was committed while [Sheley] was engaged in the commission or attempted commission of another unlawful homicide,” and that “the murder ... was committed while [Sheley] was engaged in the

commission or attempted commission of any degree of robbery.”

In his previous trials, prosecutors have laid a trail of evidence that follows Sheley from Sterling, to Rock Island, to Galesburg, to Rock Falls and then to Festus, where he killed the couple in a hotel parking lot and left their bodies behind a gas station dumpster.

Sheley’s arraignment is set for July 6.

RITA CRUNDWELL | ROYALTIES

A foal and her money may soon be parted Former comptroller still earns royalties from horses, but feds are trying to change that

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

DIXON – Rita Crundwell may no longer own her horses. But according to an official from the United States Marshals Service, she still earns money from them, even though she’s spent the last 16 months in a Minnesota prison.

But if federal officials have anything to say about it, that will change.

According to Jason Wojdylo, the Marshals’ Chief Inspector of the Asset Forfeiture Division, Crundwell continues to earn “breeder royalties” on her former horses. He said the American Quarter Horse Association [AQHA] and the American Paint Horse Association [APHA] have paid her between $13,000 and $15,000 annually since she was imprisoned.

“As long as those horses are alive and showing, she’ll be entitled to receive royalties,” Wojdylo said.

The former city of Dixon comptroller is serving a 19-year, 7-month sentence for committing the largest government embezzlement in U.S. history. Crundwell was ordered to pay back upwards of $107 million – $53.7 million apiece for simultaneous restitution and forfeiture judgments.

Much of what the government has already seized stems from Crundwell’s quarter horse showing and breeding business. Last month, the Department of Justice seized Crundwell’s trophies, awards and horse show clothes. In 2012, the government auctioned off 300 Crundwell horses and their semen.

Wojdylo estimated Crundwell horses earned her $14,000 in 2014. The government has frozen the money, but does not yet have access to it. Wojdylo said the proceeds are in Crundwell’s name, but federal officials are working to change that.

If they do, then they’d be able to deliver the royal-

Looking for leads The government continues to pursue any leads it gets to other outstanding Crundwell assets, said Jason Wojdylo, the Marshals’ Chief Inspector of the Asset Forfeiture Division. He said that often times the government is made aware of assets based on leads from the public. He encourages anyone with information to email him at jason.wojdylo@usdoj.gov.

“Anybody who has any information about the location of those assets, I’m happy to hear from them,” he said.

ties to the city of Dixon.

Horse associations commonly set up what’s called a “breeders’ trust” which makes it possible for breeders to collect proceeds even if they don’t own a winning show horse. Breeders can earn money as a “subscriber” – a person who

Donations being sought for benefit

Tech, nursing info session planned

DIXON – A Dixon man not only needs a new heart, he could use your help in getting it.

A benefit will be held for Cameron Roach as he awaits a heart transplant, and organizers are asking for donations.

Roach, 21, was admitted in March to KSB Hospital with what he then believed to be the flu.

Upon examination however, doctors diagnosed him with viral cardiomyopathy, a disease that caused irreparable damage to his heart.

Cameron was transferred to OSF St. Anthony Medical Center in Rockford, then in late April to the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics. At UW, he underwent open heart surgery to insert a left ventricular assist device, which circulates his blood until he can receive a transplant.

The benefit will be from 4 to 11:30 p.m. on July 25,

DIXON – Information sessions on radiologic technology and nursing programs will be offered from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday in room 2H16 at Sauk Valley Community College,

at Elks Page Park, 7883 Lowell Park Road. Live music will be performed throughout the event and will feature local musician Gina Venier from 9 to 10:30 p.m. A silent auction, bake sale, lip sync battle, and 50/50 drawing will also take place.

Admission will be $10 at the door, and free for children 12 and younger. Tickets to buy food can be purchased for $5 apiece from 5 to 7:30 p.m.

To donate auction items, call Kim Liescheidt at 815-677-2098.

She or Ereka Harshman will pick up items, or donors can drop items off at Chris Hammitt’s State Farm office, 815 N. Galena Ave. Financial donations may be made out to the Cameron Roach Benefit Fund and dropped off at any Sauk Valley Bank location. Local branches are at 300 Walton Drive, Dixon; 201 W.

information was available from the AQHA. Billy Smith, executive director of the APHA, said the checks are still made out to Crundwell.

But the association is under court order to hand the checks straight to the government. Smith expects Crundwell horses will continue to generate money for years. Smith believes Crundwell has earned more breeder royalties for her quarter horses because she bred more of them.

“It should start to diminish over time,” Smith said. “But these horses can show into their 20s in some cases.”

Last month, the Department of Justice seized Rita Crundwell’s trophies, awards and horse show clothes. Now, they want to make sure those awardwinning horses don’t keep paying off for the former Dixon comptroller (left).

“If [show horses] have earned points, you can earn money back from the trust for those points,” Jebavy said. “It’s an incentive program for people to put their horses in. It pays back the nominator and the subscriber.”

According to APHA earnings statistics, Crundwell was a top-10 earner as a nominator every year after she started her prison sentence.

Her APHA nominator earnings were $1,044.30 in 2012, $870.12 in 2013 and $1,147.71 in 2014.

She also ranked sixth in subscriber earnings in 2014, taking in $2,764.10.

THE CARTOONIST’S VOICE

EDITORIAL

Joe Heller, Heller Syndication

Region is home to a new public health champ What we think We join the Illinois Department of Public Health in saluting Dr. Muhammad Salahuddin as an Asian-American Public Health Champion. Thank you, Dr. Sala, for the medical care you provide to residents in Whiteside County and beyond.

T

he title of AsianAmerican Public Health Champion is an award that we previously knew very little about.

Last week’s presentation to a Whiteside County Health Department physician changed all that.

None other than the director of the Illinois Department of Public Health, Dr. Nirav Shah, traveled to Rock Falls to bestow the honor on Dr. Muhammad Salahuddin, who has worked for the Whiteside County Health Department for 9 years.

Dr. Salahuddin, or Dr. Sala, as he is known by his colleagues and patients, is one of six Asian-Americans to receive the public health champion award this year.

The state program, sponsored by the state public health department, operates in conjunction with AsianPacific American Heritage Month each May. State officials also honored three health workers from Laos, one from the Philippines, and one from South Korea; all provide important services to Illinois residents.

DR. SALA, A NATIVE of Pakistan, developed a passion for helping people who were sick and without health care.

Nearly 30 years ago, he came to the Chicago area to study modern medicine. After his education, medical residency and training, he moved to Sterling to work in the steel mill clinic. In 2006, he joined the Whiteside health department.

Along with providing care to area residents, Dr.

Sala makes it a point to return to Pakistan about 3 months out of the year to provide medical care to people who need it there.

“We should look to individuals like Dr. Sala to show how much ... richness and diversity and commitment of public service [immigrants] can bring, not only to our communities here, but back home,” Dr. Shah said.

We heartily agree.

Dr. Shah’s words particularly resonate with people who, 3 years ago, participated in Sauk Valley Media’s first community book reading project. In “Caught in the Middle,” author Richard Longworth wrote of the value that immigrants bring to Midwestern communities.

As Longworth stated: “Months of travel and study through the towns and cities of the Midwest have made up my mind.

The Midwest needs all the immigrants it can get.”

Towns that don’t have immigrants experience stagnant populations because of the lack of enough native-born Americans. Immigrants can help fill that void, particularly immigrants like Dr. Sala, whose skills and passion for helping others have improved many lives.

We salute Dr. Sala for his dedicated service to Sauk Valley residents and to people in his native Pakistan.

That dedicated service had already made him a champion in their eyes.

Now, he’s officially an Asian-American Public Health Champion in everyone’s eyes.

SHAW MEDIA EDITORIAL

Swim smart, stay safe this summer Swimmers and companions must remain vigilant Shaw Media

“Everyone into the pool.”

It’s a phrase so often heard in the fastapproaching, good ol’ summertime.

“Everyone out of the pool” ought to be just as significant. And no, we’re not necessarily backing increased water skimming initiatives or more adult swims. A heightened focus on pool and open water safety is equally crucial to the swimming or water recreation experience as the thrill of diving in.

Tragedies shouldn’t

have to be the catalyst for swimmers and their companions to realize the need to observe vigilance on any body of water. Taking measures can help save lives.

The American Red Cross offers a number of swimming safety tips at www.redcross.org. These include: Swim in designated areas supervised by lifeguards.

Always swim with a buddy; do not allow anyone to swim alone.

Never leave a young child unattended near water, and do not trust a child’s life to another child; teach children to always ask permission to go near water.

Have young children or inexperienced swim-

mers wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets around water, but do not rely on life jackets alone.

Make sure everyone in your family learns to swim well. Enroll in ageappropriate learn-toswim courses.

If you have a pool, secure it with appropriate barriers. Many children who drown in home pools were out of sight for less than 5 minutes and in the care of one or both parents at the time.

Avoid distractions when supervising children around water.

If a child is missing, check the water first. Seconds count in preventing death or disability.

Have appropriate equipment, such as

Swimming and water recreation always should be fun, but it can’t be completely carefree.

reaching or throwing equipment, a cell phone, life jackets and a first aid kit.

Know how and when to call 911 or the local emergency number.

The Red Cross also advises to “maintain constant supervision.”

We agree. Swimming and water recreation always should be fun, but it can’t be completely carefree.

Ban chemical weed killer and save honeybees TERRENCE N. INGRAM Apple River

The world is learning how important honeybees are to our environment, and that our honeybees and other insects are having problems surviving. Because of this, we’ve seen a big push to ban neonictinoids to save our honeybees.

This action is missing the real culprit – glyphosate, Roundup’s main ingredient. But Monsanto, which makes Roundup, is so huge and powerful that no university researchers want to go against the company’s statements that Roundup affects only plants.

Roundup is the real cause of colony collapse disorder in honeybees.

It makes the field force, those adult bees collecting the nectar and pollen, so sick they don’t return to the hive. Before they die, they unknowingly make trips back to the hive, bringing some of the contaminated honey and pollen, which is converted into royal jelly in a gland in the worker bee’s head, is fed to the young larvae, and kills them.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

So we have a case of CCD. The population of honeybees in a hive has crashed with no dead bees being seen near the hives. Many combs that remain are contaminated with glyphosate from the dead larva. A new swarm will not even consider moving into the hive.

Honeybees aren’t the only insects affected by Roundup. It kills most all insects in the sprayed field or nearby. Before these insects die, they will have glyphosate in the their bodies, and insect-eating birds that feed on those insects die as well.

In this country, no one even looks for glyphosate in other insects, birds, mammals, amphibians, or even humans. Could glyphosate or Roundup be the DDT of the 21st century, working its way through our whole food chain?

We need to ban Roundup before it’s too late.

Glyphosate bioaccumulates in the environment, and is also carcinogenic.

Perhaps it may already be too late.

Investment in transportation greatly needed TODD MAISCH Springfield and MIKE KLEINIK Chicago

Illinois is all too familiar with crisis. Another one is looming; one pothole and one cracked road at a time are adding up quickly.

The Illinois Department of Transportation’s latest multiyear program spans 6 years of investment: $1.85 billion in spending in fiscal year 2016, a decline of about 2 percent.

The remaining 5 years average $1.3 billion in spending a year, a decline of nearly 3 percent.

State funds make up just $352 million of next year’s spending – a decline of nearly 70 percent from last year’s total of $1.16 billion. Since 2010, state funds have dropped more than 94 percent.

Instead of state roads being in 90 percent acceptable condition and bridges 93 percent acceptable, highway conditions will drop to 62 percent acceptable – nearly 2 in 5 miles of roads considered unacceptable. State bridges at 86 percent acceptable.

The 6-year plan esti-

Quotes brought to you courtesy of

mates more than 4,600 miles and 590 bridges will need work, topping a massive $7 billion in funding.

Our state hasn’t invested in transportation adequately for far too many years. We’re now seeing the consequences of letting our gas tax revenue stagnate, of taking money out of the road fund, not dealing with increasing decay.

The Transportation for Illinois Coalition (TFIC) has warned of this day for years. Now that it is here, we must act quickly.

TFIC has advocated for several years $1.8 billion in investment in our roads, bridges and transit systems. Through a creative, reasonable mix of revenue options from drivers who use this infrastructure daily, TFIC envisions a major investment in pay-as-you-go construction.

About $11 a month through the gas pump or to renew your vehicle registration will make great strides toward a healthy transportation system.

Or we can keep spending low and wait for a crisis, which will undoubtedly cost more. We prefer effective investment.

Zoo lets kids get up close to the animals they’ve seen sauntering around farmers’ fields

Photos submitted by the Dundee Township Park District.

ABOVE: Visitors at Randall Oaks Barnyard Zoo in West Dundee stop to look at the cattle. Geared toward children, the zoo offers an opportunity to see farm animals up close. BELOW: Alpacas and a goat move around their enclosure at the Randall Oaks Barnyard Zoo in West Dundee. The zoo is open daily through Oct. 12.

WEST DUNDEE – A visit to Randall Oaks Park and Randall Oaks Barnyard Zoo is like taking a deep breath of country air.

Just right for kids and pleasant for adults, the zoo specializes in farm animals, giving city folk the opportunity to get a closer view of the animals they drive past in the countryside.

Pigs, goats, horses, cows, sheep, and chickens are part of the fun, but also look for animals not found on every farm – alpacas, mini horses, a Clydesdale, emus, reptiles, a fox, red-tailed hawks, rabbits, peacocks, and great-horned owls.

Visitors are allowed to pet and feed some animals, and can also take pony and camel rides.

Daily zoo talks, which last 15 minutes, are scheduled at different times during the day at the animal’s enclosure. At 10 a.m. it’s racoons Ricky and Miss K; at 1 p.m., it’s foxes Finn and Violet; and at 2, If you go ... it’s Marley the What: Randall Oaks bobcat.

Open from sunrise to sunset, the park itself has 141 acres in which guests will find three shelters, eight picnic areas, three playgrounds, two horseshoe pits and volleyball courts, and a 10-hole disc golf course.

Once visitors are done at the zoo and park, there are other places to visit in the area, such as the Fox River Bike Trail, accessible from The Depot, 319 N. River St., in East Dundee.

The trail covers more than 40 miles along the Fox River. It goes across six bridges, past railroad lines, and through towns and villages. A good place to relax on the trail is Voyageur’s Landing Forest Preserve in West Dundee. The popularity of the boat launch there makes it a good spot to watch river traffic. The site is at 50 Airport Road.

Visit northernfoxrivervalley.com for information on the bike trail or call the Elgin Area Convention and Visitors Bureau at 800-217-5362.

HEALTH

It’s dental technology’s crowning achievment PITTSBURGH – Most people dread going to the dentist to get a crown on one of their teeth.

The procedure can be long, tedious and often uncomfortable.

Fortunately, this clunky, gooey and slow process may soon be history in most dental offices.

New 3-D video imaging technology is speed-

ing up the time it takes for dentists to create labquality dental restorations – from weeks to a couple of hours.

Computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing – known as CAD/CAM technology – consists of a scanning wand no bigger than a large toothbrush, and an on-site milling machine.

6560WING WINGTUESDAY TUESDAY

The new system allows dentists to create and insert crowns, inlays, onlays and veneers in a single appointment. The scanning wand takes a 3-D image or video of a dental region in as little as 15 seconds.

A block of a durable material such as lithium disilicate is then milled into shape and baked

before it is inserted into the patient’s mouth.

“There’s always the sense of amazement when patients experience (CAD/CAM technology) for the first time,” said

Jeffery Verner, a dentist in Bethel Park. “I’ve even had some patients put the block in the machine themselves, and others call back afterward saying it was a cool experience.”

Through trial and error as kids or adults, many of us learn skills that stick with us the rest of our lives.

One of those skills that is quite useful this time of year and into the summer is backing a boat trailer down a ramp.

While some people dread backing a boat in or loading one out, I kind of enjoy it.

I compare it to parallel parking, where some may drive around the block or park farther away from their destination to avoid having to slide in between two vehicles.

But I fully understand that point of view.

I realize how intimidating this routine can be to a weekend boater at a crowded ramp area even under ideal conditions. I appreciate the driver’s thought process while backing the trailer, wondering if they need to turn left or right, sharp or wide.

Following are a few simple reminders to help ensure a fluent transition when launching and loading a boat.

Launching Don’t pull onto the ramp until your boat is ready to launch.

Prepare for launching in the parking area.

Remove covers, load equipment, remove tie downs, attach lines and put in drain plug before backing onto the ramp.

When ready, pull into line to launch. Wait your turn. Be courteous.

It takes at least two people to efficiently launch a boat: one to handle the boat and one to take care of the tow vehicle.

Loading Don’t block the loading area with your boat until your tow vehicle is ready to load. Wait until you are clear of the launch area to unload gear.

As soon as your trailer is in the water, load and secure your boat to the trailer.

Remove boat and trailer from the water as quickly as possible.

Get clear of the ramp.

Pull into the parking area to finish securing your boat and unloading gear.

One last reminder The busiest Saturday in the middle of summer is probably not the best time to teach boat backing and launching. Off hours in a parking lot, or slow times at the ramp, are better opportunities.

This summer Walnut Manor Nursing Home will have a new name:

™

Our name is changing, not our mission.

The health care needs of to oday’s seniors are changing.

And, we are changing too!

Daughter gets the diploma; mom gets the debt Dear Abby, I am a single woman who borrowed $80,000 to send my daughter to college with the understanding that she would take over the payments once she was professionally established.

She is now so “into” her new lifestyle that she is refusing to have contact with her “poor” birth mother. She refuses to take responsibility for repaying the loan, which is in my name, and says “tough luck” to my stupidity.

This means I will have to continue working until I drop dead. Abby, I am 60. Is there any help for me? Has this happened to other baby boomers?

– Poor Birth Mother in Georgia

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

Dear Poor, Sadly, yes it has. And no, there isn’t help for you. Because the agreement with your daughter was verbal and wasn’t put in writing, you don’t have a legal means to force her to assume the loan payments.

Dear Abby, My husband and I are part of a tight-knit social

group. There are four couples who get together for dinner once or twice a week. We all decide on a theme beforehand and bring a dish, potluckstyle. My problem is that one of the couples will announce during dinner, “Those potatoes are our leftovers from 3 days ago,” or, “We had this for dinner last night.”

Is it just me, or is that gross? I always prepare something fresh for these dinners, as does everyone else. They are not struggling for money, and time isn’t the issue. Should I say something? I tend to ignore what they bring, but I think they will notice eventually. Is this something I should keep my mouth shut about?

Or is it bad manners to

feed someone else your leftovers?

– Potluck in Oregon Dear Potluck, Bad manners? No. Lacking in tact? Yes. Keep in mind that some dishes taste better the next day, after the flavors have had time to meld. If the other couples in the group feel as you do, the “offending” couple should be informed. However, if you are the only person who’s turned off, then keep your mouth shut and continue to “pass” on what they bring.

Dear Abby: I have a difficult situation at work. A co-worker lost her driver’s license 2 years ago, and I began providing her transportation. In the beginning it

ON MAGAZINE RACKS

For Michelle Obama, there’s More than just being first lady WASHINGTON (AP) – She’s a wife, mother and lawyer, an advocate for children and military families, and first lady of the United States. Now Michelle Obama has added a new gig: magazine editor.

The first lady was “guest editor” of the JulyAugust issue of the women’s magazine, More.

It was a first for both the White House and the magazine industry, said Lesley Jane Seymour, More’s editor-in-chief.

“There’s never been a first lady who’s ever guest-edited a magazine and certainly not a sitting first lady,” Seymour told The Associated Press.

“Guest editor” wasn’t just a fancy title, either.

The first lady pitched ideas and wrote and approved copy for the 148-page Michelle issue, SeyObama mour said.

She “was reading every page and asking for changes up until the last minute,” Seymour said. “She had to approve absolutely everything. She had to suggest various things, too.” Staff handled stories about fashion and beauty.

The theme of the issue is having “More Impact.”

Mrs. Obama said she welcomed the opportunity to share some of her White House experiences with like-minded readers.

“What I want readers to understand is that impact comes in all forms, shapes and sizes. And hopefully through this issue, what people will see is that you can have impact as a military mom changing careers, or you can be a young person starting a business or you can be the first lady and start a whole initiative,” Mrs. Obama said in a written statement.

The issue highlights the first lady’s four priorities: helping children live healthier lives, supporting military families, encouraging young people to continue their education after high school and helping girls around the world attend and stay in school.

CASH REWARD!!

was occasional, but now it’s almost daily. I don’t know how to get out of this situation because it is taking a toll on me and my time.

She has somewhat compensated me for gas, but I have two jobs and family obligations that limit my time off, and I just can’t continue this taxi service.

We work side-by-side at my day job. I care about her and our friendship, but can no longer continue allowing her hardship to be my hardship.

Abby, please advise how to break the news to her.

– Not a Taxi Service Dear Not, Explain it to your coworker just as you have explained it to me – that it has become more timeconsuming and stressful

than you can handle, given your other obligations. Rather than cut her off cold turkey, give her some notice – say a week – to arrange for other transportation. Do not apologize or feel guilty about doing so. You have been more generous and supportive than many people would have.

P.S. You didn’t mention why she lost her driving privileges, but if it’s still possible for her to reapply for a driver’s license, you should suggest it.

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

PRISON ESCAPE

Investigators believe employee was in on plot Woman has not been charged DANNEMORA, N.Y. (AP) – Investigators believe a female prison employee had agreed to be the getaway driver in last weekend’s escape by two killers but never showed up, a person close to the case

told The Associated Press on Thursday.

The manhunt, meanwhile, dragged into a sixth day with a renewed burst of activity by searchers in the woods close to the prison after bloodhounds were said to have picked up the convicts’ scent.

And Gov. Andrew Cuomo said investigators are also “talking to several people

who may have facilitated the escape.”

David Sweat, 34, and Richard Matt, 48, used power tools to cut through steel and bricks and crawled through an underground steam pipe, emerging from a manhole outside the 40-foot walls of the maximum-security Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, about 20

“We’re still trying to get the 30-year, low-interest loan, but if that option isn’t in place in time, we’ll get the 20-year loan in September and refinance it later,” Mayor Everett Pannier said.

While the mayor realizes spreading the cost out over 30 years will be costlier in the end, he believes it will make the project more affordable for residents.

“We’ll end up paying more interest, but the repayment rate per household will become more manageable for ratepayers,” Pannier said.

When EPA’s funding changes delayed the project by a year, the city decided to seek cost savings by scaling back the project. A 30 percent reduction in scale and capacity cut about $2 million from the previous $23 million price tag.

That put them back at square one with their quest for funding from EPA or any other sources.

“Once the bids are reviewed, we’ll put the paperwork together again and submit it to the EPA

to finalize the loan,” Pannier said.

The city last met with the agency in April, where officials were told they were again confident the 30-year option would be available

by September. Other pieces of the funding puzzle should also be clearer once the bids are reviewed.

Morrison could qualify for EPA’s hardship status, based on the community’s ability to pay off loans for federal water mandates.

“The 20-year loan would have a fixed rate of 2.21 percent, and if the 30-year option returns, the interest rate could be as low as 1 percent if the city receives a hardship classification,” City Administrator Barry Dykhuizen said.

The agency uses a formula based on a city’s water and sewer rates as a percentage of residents’ incomes.

Receiving hardship status could also open the door to an additional funding option.

“The state EPA has access to federal grant money for cities that qualify for a hardship interest reduction, so the ideal scenario would be we get the 30-year loan, the hardship break, and additional federal grant money,” Pannier said.

would not have helped the inmates escape.

A longtime neighbor also was stunned by the suspicions swirling around Mitchell.

“I just can’t believe she’d do something so stupid,” neighbor Sharon Currier said. She said Mitchell is always happy to help people, but she’s “not somebody who’s off the wall.”

CYBERSECURITY

They invaded our personnel space Union leader claims hack attack on government was far worse than officials are admitting WASHINGTON (AP) – Hackers stole personnel data and Social Security numbers for every federal employee, a government worker union said Thursday, asserting that the cyber theft of U.S. employee information was more damaging than the Obama administration has acknowledged.

Sen. Harry Reid, the Democratic leader, said on the Senate floor that the December hack into Office of Personnel Management data was carried out by “the Chinese” without specifying whether he meant the Chinese government or individuals. Reid is one of eight lawmakers briefed on the most secret intelligence information. U.S. officials have declined to publicly blame China, which has denied involvement.

J. David Cox, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a letter to OPM director Katherine Archuleta, and obtained by the Associated Press, that based on

not have direct access to the investigation, said it is basing its assessment on “sketchy” information provided by OPM. The agency has sought to downplay the damage, saying what was taken “could include” personnel file information such as Social Security numbers and birth dates.

“We believe that Social Security numbers were not encrypted, a cybersecurity failure that is absolutely indefensible and outrageous,” Cox said in the letter. The union called the breach “an abysmal failure on the part of the agency to guard data that has been entrusted to it by the federal workforce.”

Samuel Schumach, an OPM spokesman, said that “for security reasons, we will not discuss specifics of the information that might have been compromised.”

The central personnel data file contains up to 780 separate pieces of information about an employee.

Cox complained in the

letter that “very little substantive information has been shared with us, despite the fact that we represent more than 670,000 federal employees in departments and agencies throughout the executive branch.”

The union’s release and Reid’s comment in the Senate put into sharper focus what is looking like a massive cyber espionage success by China.

Sen. Susan Collins, an intelligence committee member, has also said the hack came from China.

Mike Rogers, the former chairman of the House intelligence committee, said last week that Chinese intelligence agencies have for some time been seeking to assemble a database of information about Americans.

Those personal details can be used for blackmail, or also to shape bogus emails designed to appear legitimate while injecting spyware on the networks of government agencies or businesses Chinese hackers are trying to penetrate.

U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin said during Hastert’s Tuesday arraignment that he believed he can be impartial but lawyers could decide whether he should be replaced. On Thursday, prosecutors and lawyers for Hastert filed paperwork that they are willing to have Durkin remain on the case.

Durkin donated $500 in 2002 and $1,000 in 2004 to Hastert’s campaign, though he said to the best of his knowledge the two men have never met.

Durkin also acknowledged that before he became a judge he worked in private prac-

Love Is Everything It is easy to be cynical about love. Who hasn't had the experience of thinking they were in love only to discover that their beloved wasn't really who they thought she was? And, who hasn't been deeply hurt or betrayed by someone who they thought loved them? Add to this the daily onslaught of news showing us man's inhumanity to man, and it's easy to see why some people take a dim view of our capacity to love each other. But, love is our first and last hope. We come into this world needing the love and care of our parents, and we hope and pray that we will leave this earth in the tender love and care of those around us, hoping also to be delivered into the loving hands of a merciful God. There is much to be cynical about; man's greed and selfishness is too deep and ingrained to ignore. But deeper than selfishness is our yearning and need for love. And here we need not be disappointed.

The capacity to love is strong and expansive in most of us, though it sometimes needs to be reawakened. We should reflect on how we can be more loving in our daily life. And tend to our relationships as we would a delicate plant, and do our utmost to love everyone we come into contact with. It's a flame that spreads mightily.

Rupert Murdoch will soon hand over to his sons the reins of the media dynasty that began with his father’s Australian newspaper nearly a century ago.

The specific timing of the handoff of 21st Century Fox is unclear. But as James Murdoch prepares to take over as CEO and Lachlan Murdoch as executive co-chairman, some on Wall Street worry about how the pair will run the conglomerate behind Fox News, the Fox broadcast network and the 20th Century Fox movie studio. The moves were expected eventually, but shares were down slightly when news of the

While the timing of the moves had not been expected so soon, they come a year after Murdoch elevated both sons into prominent roles. In March 2014, James, 42, was promoted to co-chief operating officer alongside the elder Murdoch’s popular lieutenant Chase Carey, while Lachlan, 43, was named non-executive co-chairman.

Murdoch told employees in an internal memo at the time: “This evolution of our leadership team underscores the considerable planning that both the company and the board have undertaken to ensure a vibrant future for 21st Century Fox and its shareholders.�

Three Rivers denies early departure Conference votes Amboy cannot leave until after 2016-17 school year

‘‘

BY PATRICK MASON pmason@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5550 @pm222

AP

The Warriors’ Stephen Curry drives toward the hoop during Thursday’s NBA Finals game against the Cavaliers in Cleveland. The Warriors evened the series at two games apiece with a 103-82 win.

Three Rivers Athletic Conference member schools on Monday voted to deny Amboy’s request to leave the conference at the end of the 2015-16 school year.

Monday’s meeting was attended by the principals of the member schools.

Schools are required to give the current conference 2 years notice upon plans to leave, per the contract schools agree to upon entering a conference.

The decision held Amboy to that 2-year agreement.

“There wasn’t a lot to talk about,” said Chris Tennyson, principal at Fulton High School and president of the Three Rivers Conference. “For [Amboy], it made sense [to want to leave], and we understand

... it’s unfair to the rest of the schools to be stuck with the resulting scheduling conflicts.

Chris Tennyson, Three Rivers president, on why schools voted against letting Amboy out of TRAC after next school year

’’

they found a conference, but it’s unfair to the rest of the schools to be stuck with the resulting scheduling conflicts.

“Most schedules go beyond next year to the year after. That’s why conferences have that 2-year requirement, so others have enough time to find replacements.”

The decision comes about 3 weeks after

the Amboy School Board had unanimously approved leaving the TRAC for the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference, taking the place of exiting South Beloit.

Amboy had hoped it would be granted permission from the TRAC to leave at the end of next school year, but the vote, which needed at least a two-thirds majority, put a stop to those plans.

Tennyson said that number was met, although final vote totals were not available.

Amboy’s next move is uncertain.

Multiple phone messages left for Amboy superintendent Jeff Thake and athletic director George Schwamberger were not returned. A message left for Principal Joshua Nichols, who was present at Monday’s meeting, was not returned.

Warriors make splash in Game 4 Lineup change works for Golden State

BY TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer

CLEVELAND – No panic, no playing around. Just California cool.

The Golden State Warriors simply did what they had to do, and now they’re going home in the same shape as when they left – tied in the NBA Finals.

Stephen Curry and Andre Iguodala scored 22 points apiece, and the Warriors, showing their depth and why they were the league’s best team all season, squared the finals at 2-2 on Thursday night with a 10382 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Game 5 is Sunday night at Oakland’s rambunctious Oracle Arena, where the teams split two overtime games last week.

“We’ve seen it all year, every team we go up against, we use our strength in numbers,” said Iguodala, who made a surprise start. “Not only do we have a good first unit, but we’ve got a second unit that is coming at you with the same type of speed, same type of high-IQ basketball.

It’s hard to keep up with us.

“We’re going to try to keep it going.”

LeBron James scored 20 points – 21 under his average in the series – with 12 rebounds and eight assists.

Series champ Wienen returns to home track in Walnut

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

Chad Wienen has spent the past dozen years racing ATVs around the country, and he’s really hitting his stride. The Galena native has won the last three Mountain Dew Tour titles, and he’s already won two races at the halfway point of this season.

But as fun as it is to win races and take home trophies, Wienen comes into this week with a little extra fire in his belly.

The 30-year-old racer grew up at Walnut’s Sunset Ridge MX track, and circles his homecoming week on the schedule at the beginning of every season. He’s

won three times at the place he considers his home track, but a runner-up finish in front of his hometown fans last summer has him eager to get back in the winner’s circle.

“This year’s been really good so far,” Wienen said, “but I’m definitely hungry for a win at my hometown event.”

Wienen started racing ATVs at Sunset Ridge when he was 18, and he’s soared to heights in the sport that previously were just pipe dreams.

He’s taken the top spot at the end of the 10-race AMA Pro ATV series in each of the last 3 years, and he’s already won two of the five races to get atop the standings in 2015.

Weekend in Walnut What: Mountain Dew ATV Motocross National Championship series Where: Sunset Ridge MX When: Saturday Schedule: 11 a.m. – practice & qualifying; 3 p.m. – ATV Pro Moto 1; 5 p.m.

The board of Southern Association of Colleges and Schools’ Commission on Colleges stopped short of imposing the harshest penalty, which would have blocked the country’s oldest public university from receiving federal funds including student loan proceeds.

A report revealed that the fake classes in the African studies department had gone on between 1993 and 2011. About half the 3,100 students who took the classes were athletes.

Wrigley’s right-field bleachers open Wrigley Field’s iconic bleachers are again at full strength.

A month after the cozy neighborhood park’s left field and center field outfield seating area opened to the public for the first time this season, the right field bleachers made their debut on Thursday.

The renovations added about 500 seats to Wrigley’s bleacher capacity, which is now 5,460 and includes about 500 standing-room only spots.

PRO WRESTLING

Pro wrestler, Rhodes, dies WWE says Virgil Runnels, a former professional wrestler known by his fans as Dusty Rhodes, has died. He was 69.

Runnels, who also went by the nickname “The American Dream,” was a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, and held the NWA championship three times.

He became famous during the height of wrestling’s popularity in the 1970s and 1980s.

Kimmo Timonen (44) and goalie Corey Crawford block the goal from Tampa Bay’s Alex Killorn during Wednesday’s Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals in Chicago. Timonen appeared for the first time in these finals on Wednesday in what will be his last season in the NHL.

Timonen’s friend-turned-temporary-foe, Lightning defenseman Braydon Coburn, said facing his former “D” partner, with whom he played for six seasons on the Flyers, was “weird” with so much at stake. He also empathized with Timonen, who will retire after 16 seasons after battling serious blood clots earlier this season.

“I’m just happy for him,” Coburn said. “It was a tough year for him. It’s scary – blood clots – it’s not just a hockey injury; it could be life-threatening.”

The two haven’t talked much since the playoffs began, keeping it “businesslike.”

So, too, did the Blackhawks on Wednesday, when the more things changed, the more or less they stayed the same. Kyle Cumiskey and David Rundblad sat in favor of Timonen and rookie Trevor van Riemsdyk, who is more than 16 years Timonen’s junior, and played in his second career playoff game, compared to Timonen’s 103.

Forte, a talented group of wide receivers and former Pro Bowlers at tight end, left tackle and right guard, it is the offense that creates great angst.

Like Fangio, new offensive coordinator Adam Gase was a strong candidate for head coaching jobs this past offseason.

Yet, everyone still worries about the offense.

New head coach John Fox says Gase is the guy to get the offense fixed.

“I think he’s a real good young coach. He was brought up right, meaning he’s not afraid to work. He works countless hours. He’s smart,” Fox said. “I think he’s really sharp on game day, as far as a play-caller. There’s a certain art to that, as well. Those are the things that stick out. He’s a good evaluator, which I think is all part of coaching. I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen.”

While Gase has not commanded the same excitement as Fangio, he doesn’t seem to be the worry, either.

Many of the questions surrounding the Bears’ offense can be attributed to “Cutler fatigue.” Many believe this season will be one too many for him with the Bears.

But Gase likes some of what he sees in Cutler.

“Just to see his growth as far as just being a balanced passer,” he said of Cutler’s improvement over the years. “I think most of us would say when he first came into the league, he was that gunslinger-type mentality, and I see a more patient guy. We’ve just got to get him there for 60 minutes. I think that’s going to be a challenge for all of us as an offense, is to make sure we’re patient throughout the game, we’re not forcing things, and we’re trying to get the ball to our playmakers.”

Will this offense resemble what Gase did in Denver, and will he work with Cutler the same way he worked with Peyton Manning in Denver?

“It’ll be similar, the way that we’re going to do individual, the way that we’ll work during prac-

All eyes on Cutler and Forte A sk anyone what was wrong with the 2015 Chicago Bears team that finished the season 5-11, and the overwhelming majority of respondents will say Marc Trestman, Jay Cutler, or Mel Tucker.

Now, only Cutler remains in town.

The Bears’ offense in 2014 was 21st in total yards and 23rd in points allowed, and just a year earlier they were 8th in total offense and second in scoring.

At the same time, the defense last year was among the worst in the league, 30th in total defense and 31st in points allowed.

Yet most questions still revolve around Cutler and the future of the Bears’ offense, in large part because of Cutler’s propensity for turning the football over.

Bears fans appear to take comfort in the arrival of Vic Fangio, and seem willing to accept that, in spite of the fact the defense is far more talent-starved than the offense, the defense will quickly improve due to the presence of the new coordinator.

Even with the presence of one of the NFL’s best running backs in Matt

tice,” Gase said. “A lot of the things that we did, we developed over a 3-year span, our relationship with me and Peyton.

“It’s going to take some time, me and [Cutler] getting used to each other. He’s worked with a couple different guys, the good thing is, he’s heard a few things that I say. He’ll look at me and kind of, ‘That’s a little Martzist,’ right there.”

A great deal of the Bears’ success will also depend on what is left in Forte.

The Pro Bowl running back raised concerns early in the spring by skipping voluntary workouts in the hopes of getting a new contract, but after a wave of negative response to his absence, Forte calmed fears, reporting to voluntary OTA’s and assuring all he’s ready to go, new contract or not.

Still, general manager Ryan Pace has added new faces in the backfield in veteran Jacquizz Rodgers and rookie Jeremy Langford.

The potential success of the Bears’ offense keeps spinning back to whether or not Cutler can take care of the football, and how much a soon-to-be 30-year-old Forte has left in the tank.

Nepotism rules final rounds of MLB draft

The Cubs’ Anthony Rizzo (right) celebrates with teammate Miguel Montero after Montero’s three-run home run in the first inning of Thursday’s 6-3 win over the Reds at Wrigley Field.

Montero, Fowler homer in victory Cubs survive bad start by Wada

BY BRIAN SANDALOW Associated Press

CHICAGO – Miguel Montero and Dexter Fowler each homered, and the Cubs ended the banged-up Cincinnati Reds’ four-game winning streak with a 6-3 victory Thursday night.

With the rebuilt right-field bleachers filled with fans for the first time this season, the Cubs won for the fourth time in five games.

Montero’s threerun homer in the first off Michael Lorenzen (1-2) gave Chicago an early lead, and Fowler’s third-inning drive put the Cubs in front 4-2.

Kris Bryant added an RBI double in the fifth for the Cubs, who overcame a rough night from their starting pitcher.

Tsuyoshi Wada was coming off his worst start with the Cubs when he allowed five runs in 3 2/3 innings on June 5 in Washington, and he wasn’t much better Thursday. He allowed three runs and four hits in three-plus innings before being replaced by Travis

Wood (3-2) following Chris Dominguez’s home run to begin the fourth.

Wood pitched 2 1/3 innings, and was one of five Chicago relievers that combined to throw six scoreless innings, and in one stretch retire 14 consecutive batters. Hector Rondon, whose status as Chicago’s closer has come into doubt, saved his 11th game in 14 attempts.

Dominguez was recalled earlier Thursday from Triple-A Louisville to help the increasingly injured Reds.

Already with a rash of injuries, the Reds were playing their first game without Zack Cozart after the shortstop was ruled out for the season with a torn tendon and two ligaments.

He was hurt trying to beat out a grounder Wednesday against Philadelphia. Along with Cozart, the Reds were missing opening-day starters Marlon Byrd (right wrist), Billy Hamilton (left wrist), Devin Mesoraco (hip), and Brandon Phillips (left groin).

Baseball’s draft concluded on Wednesday with the now traditional “nepotism phase” in which teams select players related to some VIPs within the organization.

The Phillies chose Andrew Amaro, the nephew of general manager Ruben Amaro, in the 35th round, after selecting him in 2011. The Angels picked Jonah DiPoto, son of general manager Jerry DiPoto, in the 38th round.

And the White Sox chose Joseph Reinsdorf, grandson of Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf, with the 40th round pick.

There’s been no outcry to shorten the draft, but obviously they don’t need to select that many players if teams are making superfluous picks just to please some higher-ups in the organization.

It’s always good for job security when the head of the scouting department selects a relative of the owner or general manager, and since players selected that low seldom make it to the majors anyways, no harm, no foul.

The Sox’s pick brings to mind the 1993 draft, when they chose left-handed pitcher Carey Schueler, the daughter of general manager Ron Schueler, in the 43rd round. Like Joseph Reinsdorf, there was no intention of signing Carey Schueler, though she became the answer to a trivia question as the first woman ever drafted. Carey went on to play college basketball, starting at DePaul.

Two rounds later, the Sox selected University of Alabama infielder Frank Menechino, who wound up playing seven seasons for the A’s and Blue Jays.

Musical chairs The White Sox’s sweep of the Astros pulled them closer to the .500 mark as they begin a 5-day trip today to Tampa Bay and Pittsburgh. The starting pitching is solid enough for the Sox to get into the AL Central race, though the hitting problems remain a mystery.

Two backups, centerfielder J.B. Shuck and catcher Geovany Soto, contributed to Wednesday’s win over the Astros.

AP

Catcher Geovany Soto greets closer David Robertson after the White Sox completed a sweep of the Astros on Wednesday. Soto received the start over Tyler Flowers, and recent play suggests that Soto should get more time behind the plate.

Manager Robin Ventura said he was only giving Adam Eaton and Tyler Flowers a rest, but perhaps the Sox should consider giving Shuck and Soto more playing time. Soto is hitting .316 with a 1.104 OPS over his last eight games, while the left-handedhitting Shuck is batting .309 vs. right-handers with a .350 on-base percentage.

Ventura said Saturday that he’d consider moving Eaton out of the leadoff spot if Eaton continued to struggle, but he wasn’t ready to make that move yet.

Eaton has batted leadoff all year, and is hitting .233 with a .288 OBP, failing to get on base for Jose Abreu, their only real power threat the first 2 months.

Shuck went 2-for-3 with a double atop of the lineup on Wednesday. Flowers has struggled all season as well, with a .202 average

and .244 OBP. Soto may not be the player he was when he came up with the Cubs, but he’s come up with some big hits already, and is a defensive upgrade over Flowers behind the plate.

Despite the Sox’s offensive woes, the only lineup move Ventura has made this year has been using Gordon Beckham at third of late over Conor Gillespie. Carlos Sanchez also replaced Micah Johnson at second, but only because Johnson was sent down to Triple-A Charlotte, a move that helped the Sox defense, but hasn’t done much for the lineup.

Eaton and Flowers aren’t the only reasons the Sox have gotten off to a poor start, but they’ve had plenty of chances to break out, and we’re nearing the middle of June. Maybe some bench time would shake the two out of their lethargy.

Conference awaits Amboy’s next move THREE RIVERS

CONTINUED FROM B1

Tennyson said he notified IHSA executive director Marty Hickman and associate director Kurt Gibson about the possibility of Amboy leaving the conference anyway, though that isn’t expected.

Neither Tennyson nor Gibson have seen an instance where a school would break it’s contract with a conference. Rules are in place to deter such actions, however. One sanction is a fine.

“We have by-laws about contracts,” Gibson said.

“They are indeed legally binding. In many cases, we’ll have issues with a

scheduling situation, and it’s a school-by-school issue. Some schools will let others out of a game, but they don’t have to. They can hold that school’s feet to the fire if they wanted.

“With this, we would hope a school wouldn’t leave. There is a fine of a minimum of $100, and then whatever the

board [of the conference] decides to bring to the school.”

As it stands, no decision has been made, and Amboy will play out its remaining 2 years in the TRAC. There is no word if the NUIC will wait an extra year for Amboy to join, as it will have a vacancy at the end of next season.

“But the track constantly changes through the years, and they’re never satisfied with keeping it the same. Riders want to see what new challenges they have ahead of them, and that always makes it fun to come back.”

Canada still in control China keeps pace; Norway ties top-ranked Germany By the Associated Press

Women’s World Cup host Canada played to a scoreless tie with New Zealand in an opening group match Thursday.

Canada’s mark of 1-0-1 with four points has them atop their group with one game to play.

New Zealand (0-1-1) still has never won a World Cup game in 11 chances.

The game was delayed for about 30 minutes after the 4th minute due to heavy storms and lightning.

Canada had a couple of quality chances midway through the first half, but New Zealand goalkeeper Erin Nayler turned aside Jonelle Filigno and Christine Sinclair in the 22nd and 23rd minutes.

In the 31st minute, New Zealand was awarded a penalty kick after a hard tackle in the area, but Amber Hearn – New Zealand’s all-time leading international goal scorer – hit the crossbar.

Canada’s Melissa Tancredi appeared to have scored just before halftime, but she was judged offsides on the play and the goal was disallowed.

Tancredi had another golden opportunity on a breakaway in the 76th minute, but Nayler covered the shot with a sliding save.

Warriors pull away in 4th quarter SPLASH

CONTINUED FROM B1

Cleveland’s megastar, who played with a cut on his head sustained in the first half, didn’t score in the fourth quarter, and couldn’t do enough for the undermanned Cavaliers.

Timofey Mozgov led Cleveland with 28 points, and Matthew Dellavedova, again battling leg cramps after a hospital stay for dehydration, had 10. The Cavs shot just 2-for-18 from the field in the fourth quarter.

The Warriors were in a must-win situation, as none of the 32 teams who have fallen behind 3-1 in the finals have come back to win an NBA title.

Golden State doesn’t have to worry about that, and now it’s possible the Warriors will get to play two more games on their home court if the series goes the distance. Game 6 is Tuesday night in Cleveland.

Building off a strong fourth quarter in Game 3 that gave them confidence, the Warriors showed a sense of urgency from the outset and took it to the Cavs. Iguodala, who played so well coming off the bench in the first three games, started and made coach Steve Kerr’s decision look brilliant.

Known for his defense, Iguodala made four 3-pointers, kept James

in check, and Curry, the league MVP, made four 3s as well, including a deep dagger in the fourth.

With Cavs still hanging around, Curry hit a step-back 3 on the left side that stopped the Cavs cold and silenced a roaring crowd of 20,562.

After his shot splashed through the net, Curry clenched both fists, pounded his chest and yelled, “C’mon!”

The Warriors followed their leader, and now head home brimming with confidence.

Draymond Green added 17 points, and Harrison Barnes had 14 for Golden State, which didn’t lose three straight games all season while racking up 67 wins.

Looking for a spark, Kerr decided to go “small” with his starting

lineup, putting Iguodala at forward, moving Green to center, and benching struggling big man Andrew Bogut. Kerr initially said he wouldn’t make any changes, but went with a lineup that worked well late in Game 3, when the Warriors scored 36 points and trimmed a 20-point deficit to one.

Kerr got the result he wanted, but only after the Warriors withstood an early flurry from the Cavs, who scored the game’s first seven points.

“We said, ‘Hey, let’s throw a little wrinkle in it and see how it works,’” Iguodala said. “It worked for us tonight.”

Golden State’s ball movement was better, and shots that didn’t drop in the first three games were on the mark.

To find this card, where is that card?

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

William Jennings Bryan, who was the Secretary of State from 1913 to 1915 and three times an unsuccessful Democratic candidate for president, said, “Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”

In today’s deal, the destiny of South’s slam contract depends on his choice in the trump suit.

How should declarer analyze the situation after West leads the spade king against six hearts?

In the auction, North made a game-invitational limit raise.

Then South knew that they might have a grand slam, but with no way to find out what he would need to know, he

settled for the practical jump to six hearts.

Agreed, East or West might have got into the auction.

But they can be held to nine tricks in spades, although that would require unlikely

defense. When the dummy first appears, South will no doubt assume he has missed a grand slam. But if he is sensible, he will concentrate on the contract at hand.

What if both red suits break badly?

If West has all four diamonds, that is no problem.

But if East has them all, he will get a trick in the suit; and then South must avoid a trump loser.

Here is the key deduction: If East has all four diamonds, West is much more likely to have three trumps. So, at trick two, South should cash his heart ace. Here, he draws trumps with a finesse through West, and the contract makes. But if West has a heart void, the diamonds will run. If West had 13 black cards, he would have entered the auction. © 2015 UFS

CELEBRITY CIPHER

by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created from quotations by famous people, past and present.

Each letter in the cipher stands for another.

TODAY’S CLUE:G equals Y “ J ’ I Z J T W X E AW X D W V E Z W P E I W Z XE XWHRD EXDWV YWEYZW UDE D H S W I E U C ’ B B G C I V E P W X E AW H R X EVB HCI HRXVWBBWB.” -- RDVJB ANVTW Previous Solution: “I think on some level, you do your best things when you’re a little off-balance, a little scared.”

-- Willem Dafoe

Astrograph Get out and enjoy what life has to offer Friday June 12, 2015 Concentrate on your strengths.

Dedication to your goals and diligence in your work habits will serve you well. Singlemindedness and determination will lead you to the winner’s circle. Frustration will occur if you aren’t willing to delegate jobs in order to focus on what you do best.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -You will encounter someone who shows interest in your progressive ideas. Use social events and business and networking functions to present and promote what you have to offer.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -Loss is evident. You need to protect your reputation, position and possessions. Someone will try to exploit your generosity or control your assets. Offer suggestions but nothing more to those asking for a handout.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Get out and enjoy what life has to offer.

Your spontaneity and creativity will put you in the spotlight at any gathering you attend. A younger individual will inspire you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Don’t forfeit your savings on an untried or dubious investment deal. Ask pertinent questions and verify the credentials of anyone with whom you are considering forming an alliance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Lady Luck is on your side. Moody family members will be hard to deal with. A travel opportunity is on the horizon. Keep busy doing whatever makes you feel happy.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Don’t use company time for personal pursuits. Keep your private matters out of the office.

If you shirk your responsibilities at work, you will pay the price.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- There are ample opportunities to expand your horizons.

Studying other countries and cultures will stimulate your desire to understand and help others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Making alterations to your living space will be challenging, but rewarding.

Include modifications that will add to your comfort and make your home more inviting. Plan to host an event.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -A reunion with an old friend will remind you of past challenges and dreams. Before you abandon your current path, consider what it took to reach your present position.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -Assertiveness, not aggression, will help you convince others to join your pursuit. You can more successfully emphasize your strong points with charm rather than force. A joint venture looks favorable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you channel your excess energy into something creative, you will get amazing results. You will feel greater freedom once you rid yourself of issues or people that are no longer helping you advance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Refrain from criticizing your co-workers. Any issues that need attention should be dealt with privately and diplomatically. You will damage your reputation if you are confrontational.
