STERLING – A longtime farmer, who at one point was grazing 2,400 hogs in his field just north of a restaurant and other East Lincolnway businesses, is not violating state regulations, a judge ruled, dismissing a Department of Agriculture complaint against his operation.

The Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Environmental Programs filed two complaints against Norm Koster, 63, of Dixon.

Norm In its view, Koster Koster was running a livestock management, or feeding facility, or a livestock waste facility, and did not provide notification of intent to construct either, or to follow construction and set-back rules, as required by the state Livestock Management Facilities Act. Such a violation carries a fine of up to $1,000.

Among other things, the statute defines a feeding operation as a facility where animals are confined and fed for 45 days or more in a 12-month period.

Koster maintained that PEEP Inc., his organic hog, chicken and egg business, is not a feeding operation, it’s a pasture operation, which is exempt from the act. That’s because he regularly moved the hogs from one parcel to another across all 120 acres, allowing them to forage chemicalfree and, in turn, fertilize the land.

BUREAU COUNTY BOARD I WIND FARM WORRIES

Costs of decommissioning at issue County urged to consider bonds to insulate from liability

BY GOLDIE CURRIE AND DONNA BARKER Shaw News Service

PRINCETON – Wind farm opponent Ed Gerdes is concerned. If the Big Sky project north of Ohio is decommissioned, how much will it cost to take down the turbines, and where will the money come from? The county? The landowner?

It’s a topic he and others have been researching for a while.

Tuesday, he brought it up at the county board meeting, as he did the month before. They now have even more questions.

“The people who should be here talking about the decommissioning are landowners, but as you know, they have a confidentiality clause in their lease which doesn’t allow them to speak publicly,� Gerdes said.

Last month, Gerdes shared a study on decommissioning costs that a Virginia-based company did at the request of his group. According to the study, it would cost about $19.4 million to take down the 87 turbines, about $224,000 each. At that rate, the cost to decommission Big Sky could be in the $10 million to $12 million range.

Gerdes said Tuesday that his group has been talking with people who are recommending the county ask for a performance bond that would cover the entire cost of decommissioning.

“The money you have now at best would cover probably 15 to 20 percent,� he told the board. “And these companies are [limited liability companies], so if they do fold up, there are no assets to cover the rest of the decommissioning.�

Gerdes said his group also learned there are landlords with cellphone towers who aren’t getting paid the rent they are owed, but still must pay the property taxes. “So we’re assuming the [wind farm] landowners are going to be responsible for the property taxes, and the question is, from the time the turbines are shut down until they are taken down, are landowners going to be responsible if that could be a 2-year period?

“We assumed they will be responsible for the taxes,� he said. “Plus probably 85 percent of the cost to take them down.�

Gerdes said the turbines must come down. “They are a hazard, and on top of that, who is liable for injures suffered from the time they are shut down to the time they are taken down? The landowners, I’m assuming, would again have to have some sort of liability insurance to take care of that,� he said.

Gerdes reminded board members that Midwest Energy promised it would take down the project when it was over, then it was bought by Edison Mission, and now it’s owned by Pittsburgh-based EverPower Wind Co. “I really doubt if they will be

here,� he said. “Are they going to come up with $10 million to $12 million to take them down, or are they going to walk away and leave you with $1.8 million to take them down yourself? I don’t think the taxpayers of Bureau County should take them down, and I don’t think the landowners planned on having to take them down.�

Responding to questions from the board, Bureau County State’s Attorney Patrick Herrmann said performance bonds essentially are an insurance policy that is paid for by the company and would not be voided, should the company go into bankruptcy.

Members voted to have Herrmann research the bonds and report back at next month’s meeting.

Illinois health campaign among nation’s costliest

Juneteenth celebration set for Saturday

Late start led to expensive rates CHICAGO (AP) – President Barack Obama’s home state agreed to spend $33 million in federal money promoting his health care law, hiring a high-priced public relations firm for work that initially was mocked and spending far more per enrollee on television ads than any other large state.

After getting a late start and facing intense pressure to avoid more embarrassment for the much-maligned law, Illinois officials last summer inked the most lavish contract in the history of FleishmanHillard’s Chicago office. The goal was getting uninsured residents to sign up for coverage.

More than 90 people, including executives from the firm and its subcontractors, billed at least $270 an hour for salary and overhead during the first 4 months.

The hourly amount far Win a Harley or $10,000 Cash 1 for $20 3 for $50 7 for $100 Purchase at Dixon Main Street or

www.petuniafestival.org

exceeded the contracts other states signed for similar work. Colorado paid its ad agency $120 per hour, for example.

In Connecticut, a similar contract had rates topping out at $175 an hour.

The Associated Press, using open records requests, obtained hundreds of pages of contracts, bills, plans and heavily redacted emails between the marketing team and state officials.

Together, they raise questions about whether the state did enough to keep federal taxpayer costs under control.

The hourly rates are “absolutely excessive,� said Illinois Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican who is running for Congress. “That is more than you would pay a top surgeon,�

Senger said. “They knew this had to be done years in advance, and they did everything last minute.�

The results were mixed for “Get Covered Illinois,� which the campaign was named after focus groups

rejected the PR firm’s early proposal of “Wellinois� as too cheesy. More than 217,000 new enrollees signed up, exceeding a federal target but lagging far behind the state’s own goal of 337,000, according to an internal document obtained by the AP. Failing at a state-run insurance exchange embraced by several other progressive states, Illinois officials had belatedly formed a partnership with the federal government by the spring of 2013. Up against the wall and with a generous federal grant, officials in the cash-strapped state constructed the deluxe contract to sell the idea of what pro-Republican political ads were attacking as “Obamacare.� “It seems like it was a heavily front-loaded effort and it was. It was all hands on deck,� said FleishmanHillard senior partner Jack Modzelewski, arguing Illinois got good value for the price, despite the late start.

Republicans call for reform Lawmaker: We need to change mapping process CHICAGO (AP) – Republican legislative leaders pushed for Illinois to change how it draws political boundaries Thursday during a Chicago luncheon that also highlighted other political reform issues including term limits, scrutiny of campaign fundraising and socalled “lame-duck� sessions after an election.

The support for a signature-driven ballot initiative to leave redistricting in the hands of an independent commission – if it survives scrutiny by election officials and a lawsuit – could evolve into a major issue for the GOP ahead of November’s high-stakes election, in which Gov. Pat Quinn is facing a difficult challenge from Republican businessman Bruce Rauner. “The single-most important reform that we could do in this state is one we have not done yet – that is changing the mapping process,� Republican Senate Leader Christine

Bruce Rauner

Pat Quinn

Radogno said during the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform’s lunch event where leaders outlined priorities.

Senate President John Cullerton told reporters he hadn’t looked closely at the potential ballot initiative. But he questioned past congressional mapping processes, namely in 2001 when Republicans held the governor’s office and state Senate. Then, U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert led efforts to come up with a plan that largely protected incumbents.

Illinois’ once-a-decade redistricting process has long faced allegations of gerrymandering.

The maps are based on Census data, but lawmakers make them. In 2011, Republicans sued over the congressional map, which judges later determined was a “blatant political move� to increase Democratic seats. But the map was

implemented anyway.

The redistricting ballot initiative in Illinois has hit a John snag.

Cullerton L a s t month, the group “Yes! for Independent Maps� submitted more than 500,000 signatures to the State Board of Elections, but an initial review found many invalid signatures.

Radogno and House Republican Leader Durkin have asked election officials for an extension to verify signatures.

The measure could be one of a potential record number of voter initiatives come November.

Another calls for term limits and is led by Rauner. Both the redistricting and term limits attempts are the subject of a lawsuit filed by an election lawyer who’s represented top Democrats.

Durkin and Radogno said they supported the term limits measure with Radogno pointing to House Speaker Michael Madigan, who recently became the longest-serving House speaker nationwide.

The Chicago Democrat

didn’t attend Thursday’s event.

Cullerton disagreed with the term limits proposal.

He said it takes lawmakers time to understand their jobs, and institutional knowledge could be lost. “If we weren’t doing our job, we wouldn’t be re-elected,� he said, calling the term limit efforts “misguided.�

He said one of the important political reform issues should be more scrutiny on fundraising linked to certain types of nonprofit organizations.

Durkin said Illinois should overhaul how it conducts lame-duck sessions when exiting lawmakers are more willing to take difficult or controversial votes, an idea he tried to push during the latest legislative session but didn’t get any traction. He highlighted how lawmakers approved a 67 percent temporary income tax increase the final moments of a 2011 session. “I would hope that we would at some point realize that this is not the best point to govern,�

Durkin said.

The department’s position was the entire acreage was one facility from which the hogs were not moved in the time specified.

Administrative Law Judge Jack L. Price, who presided over a hearing on the matter March 5 in Springfield, agreed with Koster, and dismissed the two complaints on June 2. “I find that, so long as the swine are moved to new ground every 44 days or less, and are not returned to the same ground for at least 366 days, [Koster’s] operation is not an animal feeding operation and does not fall under the restrictions of the Livestock Management Facilities Act,� Price said in his ruling.

No evidence on the waste management facility complaint was offered, and so it, too, was dismissed.

It has not been determined if the state will pursue the matter further. “The department is still reviewing the judge’s decision and potential options the department may have under Illinois Administrative Code,�

‘They are a blessing to me’ 27 charged in alleged drug ring Woman turns in foster care license after 20 years

BY KATIE DAHLSTROM KDAHLSTROM SHAWMEDIA COM Shaw News Service

SHABONNA – People tell Rebeccah Cies she’s a blessing to the three foster children she adopted.

In her eyes, it’s the opposite. “They are a blessing to me,� Cies said.

After 20 years, more than 50 foster kids and three adoptions, Cies turned in her foster care license. She plans to focus on the three children she has permanently welcomed into her home, while also being there for her three biological children.

State officials need more people like her.

More than 15,000 children are in foster care across the state every year, reports the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Of those cases, 86 children are in foster care in DeKalb County in 69 licensed foster care homes, said DCFS deputy spokeswoman Veronica Resa. “We definitely need more foster parents,�

Resa said. “We need more bilingual foster parents. We need more foster parents in the places where these kids are from.�

Becoming a licensed foster parent in Illinois requires all members of the home pass a criminal background check.

License holders also must complete 27 hours of training, a physical and be financially stable.

Being married isn’t a prerequisite for becoming a

CHICAGO (AP) – Federal and state prosecutors in Chicago have charged 27 people they allege operated a drug-trafficking ring on the city’s West Side.

U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon and Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez announced a nearly yearlong investigation into the drug market

resulted in federal charges against 14 people and state charges against 13.

The federal suspects are charged with conspiracy to possess and distribute narcotics.

Those charged in Cook County Circuit Court are accused of delivering a controlled substance.

Among those arrested

was 47-year-old Kenneth Shoulders, a leader of the Conservative Vice Lords street gang, who authorities allege controlled the distribution of drugs in parts of the city’s Lawndale neighborhood.

Eight handguns, an assault rifle, about $140,000, heroin and cocaine were seized.

Donovan Cies, 6, plays with an earthworm while his mom, Rebeccah Cies, baits a hook at Shabbona Lake on June 6 in Shabbona. Cies, who has been fostering kids for 20 years, adopted Donovan in September 2008, and then adopted his sisters, Avery, 6, and Anya, in October 2010. They were all born with drugs in their systems and placed with Cies as foster children in 2007. foster or adoptive parent, but perseverance is. “We hear from foster parents that it can be challenging and rewarding,� Resa said. “Children are challenges, no matter what the circumstances.�

Deciding to foster Seeing an aunt and uncle adopt 10 children and realizing the terrible conditions some children face inspired Cies, 50, of Shabonna, to foster children. “I have always loved kids and babies,� Cies said. “I saw a program on orphans in Romania, and I thought there was plenty of work to be done here.�

In 2008, DCFS called Cies to adopt the first of her three “little ones,� as she affectionately calls them. She started foster-

ing all of them within 2 days after they were born, because their biological mother and father were absent from the start, leaving the hospital after every birth. “I knew from the beginning it would end in adoption,� Cies said. “It was right for me and right for them. It takes about 5 minutes to fall in love with a newborn.�

Her children, Donovan, 6, Avery, 6, and Anya, 5, all were born with cocaine in their systems, she said. Avery’s condition was so dire, DeKalb firefighters had to support her breathing while she was delivered in an ambulance. Cies learned of Avery’s unstable beginning by chance when she performed an insurance physical on the firefighter who was in the ambulance.

Tickled pink about petunias What we think The petunia population is growing in Dixon.

We’re glad to see it. We also comment on the Black Hawk statue, Whiteside County comprehensive plan, and a catfish tourney.

A

t week’s end, the SVM Editorial Board offers comments on several issues.

Say it with flowers. We join thousands of Dixon residents and area folks who are tickled pink at the return of pink petunias along some of the city’s major streets.

The petunia plantings in the streetside flower beds along Galena Avenue and elsewhere lend support to the city’s Petunia Capital claim to fame. We hope they successfully grow and add more blooms in time for the Petunia Festival.

A combination of events left the streetside flower beds empty for the past several years.

We congratulate and thank everyone involved in the planting and maintenance of the flower beds. They look great.

Statue concerns. Will our generation be the one that witnesses the fall of the Black Hawk statue near Oregon?

We certainly hope not.

The Black Hawk statue, aka the Eternal Indian, has stood watch on a bluff over the Rock River for 103 years, since it was created by sculptor Lorado Taft. But age and the extreme winter really did a number on the major tourist attraction.

A story this week revealed that the 50-foothigh concrete monolith statue is in worse shape than expected. Large chunks have fallen away from the right and left arms. Orange fencing was erected around the base to protect visitors.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources and a citizens group have been involved in raising

money and making plans for repairs.

The status of those plans recently changed from important to urgent. We anxiously await further word about the statue’s future. Perhaps local residents should make a trip to Lowden State Park to enjoy it while they can.

A plan worth reviewing.

Whiteside County’s first comprehensive plan has been in the works for quite a while. It will soon be adopted (introduction is slated for next week at the Whiteside County Board meeting; formal adoption is planned for July).

The plan makes numerous recommendations about future progress and growth, along with preserving what makes the county special. The final draft may be viewed online at whitesideplan. com.

Public comments are still being sought. They can be shared at Tuesday’s public hearing, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at the Law Enforcement Center in Morrison, or sent to Betty Steinert (bsteinert@whiteside. org).

Let them know what you think.

Go catfish! A tip of the SVM fishing cap to Joe Dyer and Dan Dippel for repeating their 2013 victory at Cabela’s King Kat Tournament Super Event over the weekend.

Their 10 fish (four flatheads and six channel catfish) weighed a combined 72.5 pounds during weigh-in at Page Park.

The 2-day event has become a June staple on the Rock River. We’re glad that the fishery is continuing to recover from the major fish kill of several years ago.

COMMENTS ON CONGRESS

Here’s what our nation needs from the press Maximum oversight of government a vital duty

BY LEE H. HAMILTON Bloomington, Ind.

These days, the scandal involving long wait times at VA hospitals can feel like some made-inWashington spectacle generated by politicians looking for headlines.

But it isn’t. It had its genesis in a late-April report on CNN that as many as 40 veterans may have died waiting for appointments at VA hospitals in Phoenix.

This investigative piece was notable for two reasons.

It’s been a while since a news story so quickly provoked such a storm of public indignation that a cabinet secretary – deservedly or not – had no choice but to resign.

And it’s a reminder of just how important oldfashioned shoe-leather reporting remains to our system of government, especially when it uncovers official misdoing.

One of the basic truths about our representative democracy is that it does not work without solid information. Public officials, both elected and appointed, need to know what’s happening in the communities they serve, and the people who live in those communities need to know what the government they elect and fund

is doing in their name.

A lot of forces try to distort that flow of information, or even block it altogether – from officials who aren’t living up to our expectations, to politicians Lee H. counting on Hamilton public ignorance, to lobbyists and advocates hoping to sway public opinion.

THIS IS WHY THE press – and by this I mean print, broadcast and online journalists – is so crucial to our country’s health. It is, or ought to be, a steady, dispassionate, truthseeking, skeptical, and tough-minded force for public understanding.

In an ideal world, our media would focus on the serious side of the news. It would explore and highlight the substance of issues, not simply the politics of issues.

It would detail the facts underlying a story, rather than dwelling on the personalities at play in the story.

There is a place for entertainment that plays off the news – as people like Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have amply demonstrated – but in their search for an audience, news executives shouldn’t let it become a substitute for dogged reporting and the traditional values of accuracy, truth and fairness.

These are not easy times

for journalists, however. I don’t pretend to understand all the forces that are reshaping what we see, hear and read in the news media, and I know that news executives are struggling with a host of formidable economic and social challenges.

Yet if the line between news and entertainment gets blurred, if loud opinion replaces accurate reporting, and if journalists take the easy road of covering politics and the horse race rather than the core of policymaking – substance, consensus-building, and the painstaking search for remedy – then representative democracy is in trouble.

New organizations and websites are trying to make up some of the ground that’s been lost in the years of news-industry turmoil: investigative outfits like ProPublica and the new wave of “explanatory� and datadriven sites like Vox and 538.com. But their very presence suggests that they see a void to be filled.

THESE DAYS, ONLY A handful of news organizations in the country have the resources – both human and financial – to spend weeks or months chasing an investigation.

Given the cuts that have stripped newsrooms of the expertise they once contained, I sometimes wonder whether the kind of reporting that brought us Watergate and uncovered the Enron scandal could still occur.

‘‘

Without a strong, independent press, those in power could simply tell us what they want us to know, and we’d be none the wiser. And that is no state of affairs for a democracy.

’’

Lee H. Hamilton

Because, make no mistake: we need maximum oversight.

You and I need it if we’re to be certain that misdeeds cannot hide in the darker corners of government.

And Congress needs it if it’s to carry out one of its core responsibilities: overseeing the operations of government.

All of us rely on the press to check abuses of power, see that laws are properly implemented, hold officials accountable, and tell those officials when their policies and operations are failing or going astray.

Without a strong, independent press, those in power could simply tell us what they want us to know, and we’d be none the wiser. And that is no state of affairs for a democracy.

MOVIE REVIEW | ‘22 JUMP STREET’

You’re pretty much going to have to see “22 Jump Street� twice – just to catch all the jokes the roars of laughter make you miss.

Undercover cops Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) are sent off to M.C. State University to track down a new designer drug that college kids are using to help them focus.

But they’re not fooling anybody. “He’s like a 30-year-old eighth-grader!�

The filmmakers and the cast mock the idea of a sequel and get away with doing exactly what they’re mocking, even if “it’s always worse the second time around.�

Ice Cube, making the most of just a few scenes as Captain Dickson, lands more laughs with a scowl or three than he has in his last five pictures.

And Tatum and Hill take their characters’ relationship to the next level of bromance, toying with the idea of “an open ... investigation,� learning from their human sexuality class how inappropriate each can be.

“Did you know I used homophobic slurs in high school?� “Yes, aimed at me.�

Pretty funny line coming from Hill, who just had to apologize for calling a paparazzo a homophobic slur. There are other coincidences – Maya Angelou and Tracy Morgan jokes – that give the comedy an eerie currency.

Hill scores with an epic girlfight and a blast of slam poetry. Tatum is comically convincing as a walk-on superstar tight end for the football team, and a parkour-loving jock who climbs walls and finds a new BFF in an Owen Wilson-lookalike quarterback (Wyatt Russell).

It goes on way too long, peaks too early and sputters before rallying with a frothy finale and a closing credits gag that kills, but also goes on too long.

That doesn’t much matter.

Hill and Tatum are the unlikeliest of big-screen odd couples, a happy-goofy one that seems headed for a long and fruitful relationship – homoerotic or not. And you’re still going to need to see this one twice to get all the sight gags, punchlines and pratfalls that this “exactly the same� sequel serves up.

avoid sleepless nights and headaches.

Several times a year many of the accommodations on the interstate can be fully booked, due to weather or local events, and travelers are sometimes forced to drive several hundred miles to find a room for the night. You can help your readers by reminding them that they should start checking on motel occupancy early in the day, or even the day before, if they know where they would like to stop for the night. That way, situations like this can be avoided, and they will have a more enjoy-

able and relaxing trip. – On The Road Again Dear On The Road: Thank you for the suggestion. Many of my readers take road trips during the summer months, and I hope they’ll remember your letter before they start the ignition and head for the highways.

POWER TOUR MUSCLES UP IN SAUK VALLEY LEG OF TOUR

Photos by Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com

Drivers make their way through downtown Dixon on Thursday morning during the 2014 Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour. Drivers of classic muscle cars, high-end sports cars and custom hot rods took state Route 2 on one leg of the tour and passed through towns such as Oregon, Dixon and Sterling. The 1,600-mile trip, which started in Charlotte, North Carolina, will end in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin.

TOP: Mike McBride of Dixon wipes down his 1968 Ford Mustang at Page Park in Dixon on Thursday.

He is the first owner of the car, which was first ever entered in the Amboy Depot Days car show. McBride was one of many local car owners who brought their rides to the park and welcomed Power Tour participants to Dixon. ABOVE: A Hot Rod Magazine Power Tour participant drives north on Galena Avenue in downtown Dixon on Thursday. Roughly 3,000 cars passed through the Sauk Valley throughout the day, and could be seen in towns such as Oregon, Dixon and Sterling.

IRAQ

Sunni militants vow to march on capital Officials: Washington considering whether to conduct drone missions BAGHDAD (AP) – Islamic militants who seized cities and towns vowed Thursday to march on Baghdad to settle old scores, joined by Saddam Hussein-era loyalists and other disaffected Sunnis capitalizing on the government’s political paralysis over the biggest threat to Iraq’s stability since the U.S. withdrawal.

Trumpeting their victory, the militants also declared they would impose Shariah law in Mosul and other areas they have captured.

In northern Iraq, Kurdish security forces moved to fill the power vacuum – taking over an air base and other posts abandoned by the military in the ethnically mixed city of Kirkuk.

The move further raised concern the country could end up partitioned into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish zones.

Three planeloads of Americans were being evacuated from a major Iraqi air base in Sunni territory north of Bagh-

WASHINGTON

Obama tells local police to stay mum U.S. tells authorities to keep quiet on surveillance details WASHINGTON (AP) – The Obama administration has been quietly advising local police not to disclose details about surveillance technology they are using to sweep up basic cellphone data from entire neighborhoods, The Associated Press has learned.

Citing security reasons, the U.S. Barack has interObama vened in routine state public records cases and criminal trials regarding use of the technology. This has resulted in police departments withholding materials or heavily censoring documents in rare instances when they disclose any about the purchase and use of such powerful surveillance equipment.

Federal involvement in local open records proceedings is unusual. It comes at a time when President Barack Obama has said he welcomes a debate on government surveillance and called for more transparency about spying in the wake of disclosures about classified federal surveillance programs.

One well-known type of this surveillance equipment is known as a Stingray, an innovative way for law enforcement to track cellphones used by suspects and gather evidence. The equipment tricks cellphones into identifying some of their owners’ account information, like a unique subscriber number, and transmitting data to police as if it were a phone company’s tower.

That allows police to obtain cellphone information without having to ask for help from service providers, such as Verizon or AT&T, and can locate a phone without the user even making a call or sending a text message.

Iraqi men chant slogans against the al-Qaida breakaway group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) outside of the main army recruiting center to volunteer for military service Thursday in Baghdad. dad, U.S. officials said, and Germany urged its citizens to immediately leave parts of Iraq, including Baghdad.

President Barack Obama said Iraq will need more help from the United States, but he did not specify what it would be willing to provide. Senior U.S. officials who spoke on condition of ano-

nymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter by name said Washington is considering whether to conduct drone missions in Iraq.

The U.N. Security Council met on the crisis, underscoring the growing international alarm over the stunning advances by fighters from the militant group

known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Prime Minister Nouri alMaliki had asked parliament to declare a state of emergency that would give him and his Shiite-led government increased powers to run the country, but the lawmakers failed to assemble a quorum.

The Islamic State, whose Sunni fighters have captured large swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria, aims to create an Islamic emirate spanning both sides of the border. It has pushed deep into parts of Iraq’s Sunni heartland once controlled by U.S. forces because police and military forces melted away after relatively brief clashes, including in Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul.

Skirmishes continued in several areas. Two communities near Tikirt – the key oil refining center of Beiji and the city of Samarra, home to a prominent Shiite shrine – remained in government hands, according to Iraqi intelligence officials. The price of oil jumped to above $106 a barrel as the insurgency raised the risk of disruptions to supplies.

In its statement, the Islamic

State declared it would start implementing its strict version of Shariah law in Mosul and other regions it had overrun. It said women should stay in their homes for modesty reasons, warned it would cut off the hands of thieves, and told residents to attend daily prayers. It said Sunnis in the military and police should abandon their posts and “repent� or else “face only death.�

The Islamic State’s spokesman vowed to take the fight into Baghdad. In a sign of the group’s confidence, he even boasted that its fighters will take the southern Shiite cities of Karbala and Najaf, which hold two of the holiest shrines for Shiite Muslims. “We will march toward Baghdad because we have an account to settle there,� he said in an audio recording posted on militant websites commonly used by the group. The statement could not be independently verified.

Baghdad does not appear to be in imminent danger of a similar assault, although Sunni insurgents have stepped up car bombings and suicide attacks in the capital recently.

Mayor, Trump clash over sign Billionaire stresses he got permission from city CHICAGO (AP) – The installation of 20-foottall letters spelling out Trump on the side of the billionaire’s gleaming Chicago skyscraper has triggered a war of words between Donald Trump and Rahm Emanuel – with the city’s mayor saying he’s looking for a way to undo the “architecturally tasteless� sign, and the developer in no mood to take anything down.

The spat pits the abrasive billionaire and relentless self-promoter who turned the words “You’re Fired!� into a personal motto against a mayor who did not get nicknames like “Rahmbo� and “The Rahminator� because he shies away from a fight.

The backdrop is a city that takes its architectural history seriously, where adorning some of the tallest and largest buildings on the planet with the owner’s name is seen as poor form. “If this sign was in Atlantic City or Las Vegas, nobody would

AP

Newly installed 20-foot-tall letters spelling out Trump are seen on the side of real estate billionaire Donald trump’s skyscraper Thursday in Chicago.

The letters have triggered a war of words between Trump and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. care – but it is in Chicago, and in a part of Chicago full of great buildings from the 1920s to the 1960s and onward,� said Blair Kamin, a Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic for the Chicago Tribune, who became part of the scuffle with his withering criticism of the Trump sign. “None of the other towers have signs on them.�

In fact, many of the city’s tallest buildings have large signs near or at ground level, but not even landmarks like the John Hancock Center

and the Willis Tower have the kind of banner – high above street level – that the Trump International Hotel & Tower does.

For his part, Trump blames Kamin, whom he calls a “third-rate architecture critic,� for stirring up trouble when the letters recently began to appear on the side of the building.

Trump also stressed that he got city permission to put up exactly the sign that ultimately was emblazoned on the building. Not only did the city zoning administrator sign off on it, he

said, but the City Council did, as well.

Trump pointed out that the city had actually approved an evenlarger sign when Mayor Richard Daley was still in office, then last year the City Council endorsed a smaller version of it. A spokesman for Emanuel, Bill McCaffrey, said the council approved it, as it routinely approves signs at its meetings, and the mayor was not aware of it. “We got full approval,�

Trump said, a preview of an argument that will certainly come up if the city tries to bring his name down.

But perhaps more important than any legal argument he might make, Trump said he’s baffled that anyone would object to the sight of his name on the side of the building, going so far as to suggest that they should be thanking him.

For starters, he said, his skyscraper replaced an “ugly� Chicago SunTimes building and its equally unattractive sign. Not only that, he said, but he expects the insignia to someday be as revered in Chicago as the iconic Hollywood sign is in Los Angeles.

The Sterling Golden Warriors have matched last year’s run to regional, sectional, and supersectional titles. Next up is a daunting Manteno team in the Class 3A state semifinals today at EastSide Centre in East Peoria.

All hands on deck Warriors will face tough Manteno team in semis

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

Inside

The Sterling softball team didn’t send anyone to scout its 3A state semifinal opponent, Manteno, during the playoffs, but instead scoured the internet and called common opponents to get the low-down on the Panthers.

Golden Warriors coach Becki Edmondson and her staff were able to track down several newspaper articles, and talked with Morris coaches, a common opponent between the two teams, to get an idea of what to expect by first pitch at 12:30 p.m. today in the Class 3A state semifinals.

“We know that their pitcher is outstanding, and is kind of like Wauconda’s

s 3EE HOW ALL FOUR TEAMS STACK UP IN THE Class 3A state tournament. Check out rosters, stats, & their postseason roads to East Peoria on B5. pitcher [Kayla Wedl],” Edmondson said.

“She doesn’t walk anybody, and has good speed. She is also one of their top hitters.”

Edmondson’s gleaned information puts Panthers pitcher Brooke Stulga’s eye-popping stats into words. The senior will play for Western Illinois next season.

Stulga owns a 35-1 record this season, and has 288 strikeouts against 40 walks in 219 innings.

Her ERA of 0.70 is tops amongst the four

teams in the 3A state tournament.

The scouting report on the Leathernecks recruit suggests that the Sterling batters will have to have a keen eye, and be ready to swing.

Stulga’s fastball has been clocked in the low 60s. She throws four different pitches, each with good movement, and relies on a sharp riseball, which has proven to be a pitch hitters have a hard time laying off.

The consensus is that the senior is one of the top pitchers in the state.

Behind Stulga, Manteno (38-1) has lost just one game this season, a 1-0 loss to Reed-Custer on May 12. Manteno played them again 1 day later, and won 7-1.

HANDS CONTINUED ON B5

ack-to-back trips to the state softball tournament aren’t really all that rare.

Not saying they aren’t special – there’s no question about that – but teams make return trips to East Peoria all the time. Heck, even drawing from our small area pool, teams from the Sauk Valley have made a habit of making annual reservations to play at EastSide Centre (see: Morrison and Milledgeville).

This year, it’s Sterling’s turn to beat a familiar path south down Route 40 to put the capper on another special, successful season.

The way the Golden Warriors have done it is a tried-and-true method: strong pitching, solid defense, and the perfect blend of power hitters and table-setters who can all come through in the clutch.

Throw in a scrappy attitude, some all-around athleticism, and off-the-charts softball IQ, and the formula for postseason success is complete.

But the most surprising – and impressive – piece of the Sterling puzzle is who the Warriors stick in the lineup and in the field.

Lots of teams can repeat the feat of a state tournament berth. Very few can do it with a nearly brand-new cast of characters.

GOLF | U.S. OPEN | FIRST ROUND

Pinehurst OK for Kaymer in first round German leads by three after good scoring day

BY DOUG FERGUSON AP Golf Writer

PINEHURST, N.C. – Much to his delight, Martin Kaymer discovered that Pinehurst No. 2 was even more different than he imagined in the U.S. Open.

This wasn’t the beast of a course that Kaymer and so many other players were expecting.

This was a day for scoring.

Kaymer made six birdies Thursday afternoon, three on the final five holes, that sent the 29-year-old German to the lowest score in three Opens held at Pinehurst No. 2. He made a 6-foot par putt on the 18th hole for a 5-under 65, and a threeshot lead.

SPORTS inside

First-round recap Leader: Martin Kaymer at -5 Behind: 4 players at -2 Players under par: 15 (out of 156 in the field) Round 2 on TV: ESPN (8-2 p.m.), NBC (2-4 p.m.), ESPN (4-6 p.m.)

“It was more playable than I thought,” he said. “I think that made a big difference mentally, that you feel like there are actually some birdies out there, not only bogeys.”

So much was made of the new look at No. 2, which was restored to its old look from more than a half-century ago.

There also was plenty of talk that this U.S. Open would be as tough as any U.S. Open.

When he finished his final day of practice Wednesday under a broiling sun, Kaymer was asked what it would take to win.

“I said plus-8 because the way the golf course played on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,” he said. “But obviously, they softened the conditions a little bit so it was more playable. So hopefully, I’m not right with the plus8. I would be disappointed.”

Former U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell took the AP conservative route on his way Martin Kaymer waves to the fans after shooting 65 in the first to a 68. round of the U.S. Open on Thursday in Pinehurst, N.C. Kaymer OK CONTINUED ON B3 leads by three strokes over a group of four golfers at 2-under par.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to get my kicks I

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like kickball.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like people telling me I should like kickball. Go waste your breath about a waste of time somewhere else.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like people tsk-tsking me because I hate watching the mind-numbing kickball that began Thursday.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m under no obligation to submit to torture, and if I were, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d choose waterboarding.

Speaking of that, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s embarrassing that the United States does waterboarding better than kickball, but my dislike of kickball has nothing to do with the U.S. national kickball teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never winning anything. I mean, I still watch the Cubs.

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care if the rest of the world likes kickball. The rest of the world can be pretty messed up at times, and obsessing over an exercise as boring as kickball is a prime example.

STEVE ROSENBLOOM -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE SPORTS COLUMNIST (E CAN BE REACHED AT SROSEN BLOOM TRIBUNE COM

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like people telling me that kickball is the sport of the future. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been hearing that kickball will be the sport of the future in America for, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know, 40 years. Still waiting.

Wait. Ing. While a majority of America has laughed with me at kickball proselytizers, the NFL has become everything that kickball Kool-Aid drinkers talked about.

Football, not futbol.

Never futbol.

Never ever.

Some of the divas running around on the kickball field whine and flop worse than Dwyane Wade, and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand watching Wade, so why would I want to watch a more juvenile version of that?

Sometimes in the course of a game, a player commits a foul near his own goal. It must be a terrible foul, because he and his teammates then have to line up in front of a kicker on the other team and publicly cover their man parts like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pledging a fraternity.

Thank you, sir. May I have another?

And talk about stupid rules. Kickball has a special brand of omigod.

First, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a secret when the game ends.

They have a thing called â&#x20AC;&#x153;extra time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But nobody watching or playing seems to know how much â&#x20AC;&#x153;extra timeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; is remaining in extra time.

Then the game magically ends. Just like that. Over. Surprise!

Geez, even Pictionary is played with a timer that everybody can see.

And when nobody can score after 90 or 100 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kill me now â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kickball decides a winner from, what, 10 yards away kicking into a 30-foot net? Something like that. Something ridiculous like that.

And we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even talked about some of the fans-slash-hooligans-slash-terrorists who can make Vancouverites look like as inert and lobotomized as Cubs owners.

Kickball causes concussions and, worse, subconcussive hits. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an epidemic. You can tell itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an epidemic by the number of people telling you how great world kickball is.

You can enjoy your kickball. Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell me I must become a kickball lemming, too.

Brazil survives opening day Amid protests, World Cup opens as host team takes care of business

BY JOHN LEICESTER !0 3PORTS 7RITER

SAO PAULO â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tudo bemâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all good â&#x20AC;&#x201C; as the Brazilians say.

Well, almost.

With a nationwide spasm of excitement â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but also tear gas â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the country that sees itself as the artful soul of football, but is conflicted about spending billions of dollars on hosting its showcase tournament, kicked off one of the most troubled World Cups ever.

It roared to life Thursday with a 3-1 win for the home team in a stadium barely readied on time for the first of 64 matches in 12 cities.

The end of Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 64-year wait for the World Cup to return to the

country of Pele wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all parties and samba. There were protests in five host cities, and chants against President Dilma Rousseff.

But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t close to the chaos that wracked last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tuneup tournament, the Confederations Cup, when hundreds of thousands poured into the streets.

After a funky opening ceremony featuring J-Lo in low-cut sparkling green and dancers dressed as trees, Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beloved national team, the star-studded Selecao, made an earnest if not brilliant start to the serious business of re-conquering planet futbol. Already the only nation with five world titles, a sixth victory in the July 13 final could

assuage much â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but not all â&#x20AC;&#x201C; public anger about spending $11.5 billion on the tournament.

Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first opponent was a resilient but ultimately outclassed Croatian side. The Itaquerao Stadium, which suffered chronic delays and worker deaths in its construction, was a sea of buttercup yellow, the color of the national team.

The inaugural game had everything aficionados love â&#x20AC;&#x201C; passion, drama, spectacle, goals, and a refereeing controversy that immediately set fingers wagging on Twitter, showing how players, officials, and organizers must live under the microscope of unprecedented social media scrutiny.

Journeyman enjoys start to first U.S. Open since 1996

BY JOEDY MCCREARY AP Sports Writer

PINEHURST, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; For the past 18 years, Fran Quinn never had the time to play the U.S. Open.

He had more important things to do â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like scratching out a living on the Web.com Tour.

Now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally here, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making the most of it.

In the field for the first time since 1996, Quinn shot a 2-under 68 on Thursday to join three other players in a tie for second, three shots behind Martin Kaymer.

In the process, the 49-year-old Massachusetts player authored the first chapter of what could become one of the feel-good stories of this U.S. Open.

Quinn has 15-year-old son Owen carrying his clubs, and his late fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory on his mind. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a dream,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and I hope I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wake up until Sunday.â&#x20AC;?

For someone whose career has mostly been spent in golfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s equivalent of the minor leagues, this was the round of a lifetime.

Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best finish at a U.S. Open came in 1994, when he wound up 43rd at Oakmont. He missed the cut 2 years later at Oakland Hills and hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been back to one since. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had other opportunities to go to the qualifying, but unfortunately, I had been out on the Web.com Tour a lot, and I was right on the cusp of getting my card out

OK

McDowellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s round featured 15 pars, one bogey, one birdie and one eagle. He was joined

by Kevin Na, Brendon de Jonge and Fran Quinn, a 49-year-old who last played a U.S. Open in 1996, when Tiger Woods was still an amateur. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a golf course where I spent the last few days just preparing myself mentally for the challenge, really, knowing that this golf course wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to give much, and it was only going to take,â&#x20AC;? McDowell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m assuming they put some water on this place this morning.

And we were able to take advantage of that a little bit early on, and actually think about getting at some of those flags.â&#x20AC;?

Brandt Snedeker, who had a chance at 30 on his front nine, had to settle for being part of a large group at 69 that included 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, Henrik Stenson, Matt Kuchar and Dustin Johnson.

The 15 players to break par were the most for an opening round at the U.S. Open since 24 players did it at rain-softened Olympia Fields in 2003.

Phil Mickelson, in his latest quest to win the one major keeping him from the career Grand Slam, shot a 70. He was among the early starters, who received additional help by cloud cover that kept moisture in the greens. Mickelson doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect Pinehurst to be any easier the rest of the week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was some low scoring out there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some good scoring, I should say,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything around par, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s usually a good score.â&#x20AC;?

Masters champion Bubba Watson was among the exceptions.

He shot a 76 and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This course is better than me right now.â&#x20AC;?

The sun broke through shortly before noon and began to bake the

Fran Quinn acknowledges the gallery on the sixth hole during the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday in Pinehurst, N.C. In his first U.S. Open since 1996, Quinn is tied for second. there,â&#x20AC;? Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really afford not to play. So unfortunately, you had to skip the Open at times.â&#x20AC;?

He has four wins on the Web.com Tour, but none since the 2010 Panama Claro Championship. He missed the cut in his only PGA Tour event last year, the Travelers Championship, and also was cut in eight of the 13 tournaments on the Web.com Tour that year; he finished

177th on the money list.

Quinn missed the cut at his only Web.com tournament this year, the Panama Claro, and had to play his way to Pinehurst No. 2. He was the co-medalist at a sectional qualifier this month in Purchase, New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To come back and play this year, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 49 years old, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day weekend, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got my boy on the bag, my dad [Fran Quinn Sr.] passed away 2 years ago,

and I know heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking down today,â&#x20AC;? Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a tremendous feeling.â&#x20AC;?

Especially with the way he played, following up a strong start with a strong finish while recording what he called â&#x20AC;&#x153;a heck of a score at the U.S. Open.â&#x20AC;?

He birdied two of his first five holes, hung around the top of the leaderboard all day, and closed his round with a birdie on the par-3 ninth after landing his tee shot about 2 feet from the flagstick. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Wow, this is really ... you shot 68,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Owen Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reality set in.â&#x20AC;?

Now, Fran Quinnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to avoid becoming a one-round wonder.

As tough as it is to put together a solid 18 holes at a U.S. Open, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even tougher to do it a second time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is only one round, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to put up the great score the first day,â&#x20AC;?

Quinn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But you know you have to keep it going. But having said that, it was a dream start.

It was everything that I could want, and more.â&#x20AC;?

Players expect Pinehurst to only get tougher CONTINUED FROM B1

JIMLITKE

course, though not enough to stop Kaymer.

He watched some of the tournament on television in the morning, and he was particularly struck by the sight of Stensonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-iron into the par-3 15th only rolling out a few feet. Kaymer expected it to roll off the green. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last night, I thought that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be very, very firm in the afternoon,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But actually, it was more playable than I thought.â&#x20AC;?

Not everyone was able to take advantage.

Defending champion Justin Rose had a 72, making his bid a little tougher to become the first repeat winner in 25 years. Adam Scott, the world No. 1 who has been formidable in every major the last 2 years except the U.S. Open, had a 73.

Scott wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about to panic. Pinehurst only figures to get more difficult. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be at the end of the week,â&#x20AC;? Scott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be looking at even par, or something around that.â&#x20AC;?

Kaymer picked up four birdies with relative ease â&#x20AC;&#x201C; three wedges to inside 3 feet, and a high draw with a 3-wood to about 20 feet on the par-5 fifth for a two-putt birdie. A few longer putts at the end really dressed up the score.

But he realizes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one round, and that the course probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be so kind or gentle the rest of the way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would have never expected myself to shoot such a low round at Pinehurst ... but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good round of golf,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expecting it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not freaking out about it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first round of a very, very important tournament. I put myself so far in a good position, but we have three rounds to go. The golf course can change a lot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If other people want to make more out of it, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great start into one of the most important weeks of the year.â&#x20AC;?

Graeme McDowell hits his tee shot on the 13th hole during the first round of the U.S. Open on Thursday in Pinehurst, N.C. McDowell is tied for second, three shots behind leader Martin Kaymer.

Even more drama for Mickelson?

P

INEHURST, N.C. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no escaping the feeling that Phil Mickelson is setting himself up for another fall.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened a halfdozen times before at the U.S. Open, almost always following the same script: Mickelson digs a foothold near the top of the leaderboard in the opening round, hangs on, hangs on, and then plays the last few holes on Sunday a stroke or three on the wrong side of par. Inevitably, somebody else squeezes by and instead of a trophy, he takes home another â&#x20AC;&#x153;best supporting actorâ&#x20AC;? title.

Almost on cue, Lefty shot an even-par 70 on his first competitive tour across the scruffy, renovated Pinehurst No. 2 layout, and predicted once again this could be the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a special tournament, a tournament that means a lot to me,â&#x20AC;? he began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it will be this week or next year or the year after. I do still have a hundred percent confidence that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to break through and get one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do feel, though, that this tournament gives me a great chance on this golf course,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like I have to be perfect.â&#x20AC;?

Mickelson was close to that Thursday with nearly every club in the bag, save the putter. He even surprised himself by hitting every fairway every time he leaned on his normally wayward driver.

But Mickelsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history at the U.S. Open â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let alone at this venue â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is the kind of stuff that winds up on the cutting-room floor of a horror flick.

Mickelson turns 44 on June 16, and isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely to master too many new tricks. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already captured the other three legs of the Grand Slam, and fortuitously, the absence of rough and the premium on chipping here now make Pinehurst his kind of setup.

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Jef Mallett, the “Frazz” cartoonist, said, “Writing well means never having to say, ‘I guess you had to be there.’”

When the defenders play perfectly, declarer is sometimes unable to make his contract. On other deals, though, a defender will fail to find the killing play. Then declarer needs to take full benefit.

In this deal, West cashes three club tricks against four hearts. He then shifts to a diamond. How should South continue?

A four-heart opening bid usually indicates an eight-card suit. However, South decided to tell a small white lie because he was nonvulnerable and the opponents were vulnerable. West wondered if his side could do well, but he had

too few points to act at the four-level. North and East had easy passes.

When West had to guess which suit to lead at trick four, he decided that South

would be more likely to preempt when very short in the other major. Hence his diamond lead. (As you can see, a spade switch would have been lethal.)

Now let’s look at South’s predicament. He needs to take three pointed-suit tricks to go with his seven trump winners. Should he finesse in spades or in diamonds?

Either is a pure guess. But he can slightly improve his chances. He should win with dummy’s diamond ace, ruff a diamond in his hand, cash the heart ace, play a heart to dummy’s nine and ruff another diamond.

Here, the king comes tumbling down. So South can draw trumps and claim. But if the diamond king does not appear, declarer can run his trumps, planning to fall back on the spade finesse. © 2014 UFS

Warriors to face another WIU-bound pitcher HANDS

CONTINUED FROM B1

This is the first state appearance in program history for the Panthers, unlike Sterling, which is making its second consecutive trip. The Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; senior class does have experience playing at East Peoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s EastSide Centre, as the group went to the state tournament as eighth graders.

This is the second consecutive season that Manteno is playing in Class 3A. The Panthers have had a winning season in each of the eight seasons that head coach Josh Carlile has been at the helm, but were paired in tough 2A regionals that they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out of until moving up to 3A last season.

Despite their daunting won-loss record and Stulgaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dominance in the circle, the Panthers can be scored on, as they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recorded a shutout in the postseason. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For our girls, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraging to know that this girl has given up runs,â&#x20AC;?

Edmondson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been shut out in a while, and we believe that as long as we can work around their offensive threats

and have faced speedy pitchers throughout this postseason, and we have had some quality at-bats and success.â&#x20AC;?

Like Sterling (30-8), Manteno didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t send a body to scout Sterling, and relied on several coaches familiar with the Golden Warriors.

The information Carlile and the Panthers coaches received makes them think that their team will have to be perfect today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sterling sounds like a scrappy team that will make you work to get your runs,â&#x20AC;?

Carlile said in a phone conversation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make too many mistakes. I expect it to be a tight, well-played game.â&#x20AC;?

With Stulga, and team Michael Krabbenhoeft/mkrabbenhoeft@saukvalley.com Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Erin Stroup beats the throw to first base against captain and catcher Sammy Marengo in the 3A Marengo Sectional final last Saturday.

Sterling senior Karlie Mellott is one of just four returning starters for a Sterling squad which graduated seven seniors from last seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s state run.

Sterling newbies fill spots perfectly REYNOLDS

CONTINUED FROM B1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pretty odd,â&#x20AC;? Sterling coach Becki Edmondson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how many teams can graduate seven seniors who start â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at key positions, too â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and continue to have the same kind of success immediately.â&#x20AC;?

On the eve of Sterlingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second state semifinal in as many seasons, Edmondson admitted that she never expected her squad to reach these heights so soon after losing last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accomplished core of senior leaders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I guess you always think the year after a season like we had [in 2013] would be a rebuilding year,â&#x20AC;? Edmondson said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and that was kind of the conversation we were having as coaches at the beginning of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;OK, maybe in a couple of years, when this young group is juniors and seniors with a lot of varsity experience, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be back at state.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I knew weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be good, but never imagined weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put together another run like this.â&#x20AC;?

I have to admit, we had very similar conversations in the Sauk Valley sports department after our first-ever trip to cover the 3A state tournament. I mean, just take a trip down memory lane at all the pieces the Warriors had to replace: Two talented, veteran pitchers in Stephanie Kester and Priscilla Aponte, as well as Aponteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reliable glove at third base. A smart, savvy catcher in Bailey Oetting. Pure speed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the bases and in center field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in Cassidy Gillihan. Power in the middle of the lineup in Jenn Rahn.

Dugout leadership in McKenna Pearson.

A little bit of everything in Gabi Trujillo.

Let that sink in for a minute. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just a laundry list of pieces to replace, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a grocery list that will fill up a few shopping carts.

It would be no surprise for the younger groups following that impressive core to press a little, maybe try and do too much in an effort to prove that they, too, can inspire players of the future.

But that hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been the case at all â&#x20AC;Ś and maybe that says all you need to know about the character of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngsters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These girls havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really talked a whole lot about last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team,â&#x20AC;? said Edmondson, who took over during the offseason after serving as an assistant coach for the past decade. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They know who those girls were, they watched them play the game, and they learned from them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not trying to prove who they are. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just a young group of athletes who are playing the game they way they know how to play it. We were very lucky that we had the right girls to step up and fill the right roles, players who really trust each other and what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re capable of.â&#x20AC;?

The Warriors lost pitchers, and they get a pitcher (Lexy Staples). They lose a catcher, they get two in return (Lauren Fritz & Nadia Trujillo). The corner infielders (Erin Stroup & Darien Bardoner) and outfielders (Abri Hale & Emily McDonald) fit beautifully around some experience up the middle (SS Karlie Mellott, 2B Gabby Sandoval & CF Shannon Long).

It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to have a returning SVM Player of the Year in Mellott, as well as an outspoken fellow senior in Bardoner, to provide leadership.

And, as Edmondson has pointed out to myself and my colleagues on more than one occasion, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a group who has been on the big stage before. Just check out the Little League World Series past champions list for proof of that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve played together a long time, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been in big games before,â&#x20AC;? Edmondson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The immaturity you might expect just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never any panic, they never get overanxious, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just sheer determination. They know every girl on this roster can be counted on to step up and be the hero â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown that all through the postseason â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to go down without a fight.â&#x20AC;?

That may be the biggest lesson of all these girls have learned from those who came before them. Sterling pride lives on, and will, as long as athletes like the ones who have filled these two cores of the softball program keep coming through.

Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warriors set the table. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Warriors have bellied up and feasted.

We always knew they would. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just happened a little sooner than expected.

Spurs guard Tony Parker (9) dribbles past the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Norris Cole during Game 4 of the NBA finals Thursday in Miami. The Spurs won 107-86, and lead the series 3-1.

Trouble in South Beach Kawhi Leonard powers Spurs to 3-1 lead

BY BRIAN MAHONEY !0 "ASKETBALL 7RITER

MIAMI â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The San Antonio Spurs have three more chances to grab the championship trophy that slipped away last year.

The way theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dominating the Miami Heat, they might need just one.

Kawhi Leonard had 20 points and 14 rebounds, and the Spurs routed the Heat again, winning 10786 on Thursday night to open a commanding 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.

The Spurs can win their fifth NBA championship with a victory at home in Game 5 on Sunday, and avenge their seven-game loss to Miami last year.

And if the Heat are going to deny them again, it will take the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history.

LeBron James tried to keep the Heat in it with 28 points and eight rebounds, but Dwyane Wade was just 1 of 10 through three quarters, and scored 10 points.

No team has overcome a 3-1 deficit in the finals, and the way they were outclassed twice on their home floor makes it hard to imagine the two-time

Tony Parker added 19 points, and Tim Duncan had 10 points and 11 rebounds for the Spurs, who shot 57 percent from the field.

The Spurs lost twice in Miami to end last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finals, their only defeat in the championship round.

They won their two games in South Florida this time by a combined 40 points.

If this was the last home game of the season in Miami, it looked and sounded nothing like the ones to end the last 2 years, which featured confetti falling and trophies raised. This one had the unfamiliar sound of boos late in the first half and a chant of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Go Spurs Go!â&#x20AC;? with under 3 minutes left from the San Antonio fans who

remained long after many of Miamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had bolted.

If the Heat force a Game 6, it would be in Miami Tuesday.

The Heat had followed their last 13 postseason losses with a victory, but at the end of a fourth straight season that went the distance, they might be out of gas. Miami seemed to lack the energy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or maybe effort â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to defend San Antonioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s precision ball movement for the full 24 seconds, and time after time the Spurs ended up with a shot from somebody who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a defender nearby.

Not quite as sharp as when they shot a finalsrecord 75.8 percent in the first half Tuesday night, the Spurs were still plenty good enough to open another huge lead by halftime, and they turned away every attempt Miami had to make a run.

Realizing their red-hot 19-for-21 start in Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Game 3 victory covered the fact that they allowed Miami to make more than 50 percent in the game, the Spursâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense held Miami to 45 percent (32-for-71).

Scherzer outduels Sale, Sox Tigers ace stymies Chicago; Cubs shut out on road "Y 4HE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Max Scherzer tossed a three-hitter in his first career complete game, and Victor Martinez hit his 16th homer to lead the Detroit Tigers a 4-0 win over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night at U.S. Cellular Field.

Scherzer (8-2) was back in his 2013 Cy Young form, striking out eight and walking three while outdueling Chicago starter Chris Sale (5-1). Only three times did the White Sox have men in scoring position.

Sale was nearly as sharp as Scherzer. He struck out 10 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all swinging â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to match a season high, and allowed five hits in seven innings.

Martinez hit a solo shot into the left-field bullpen to lead off the fifth, and Miguel Cabrera drove in two runs for Detroit with an infield single in eighth. Bryan Holiday drove in an insurance run in the ninth.

Sale didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a baserunner until Rajai Davis led off the fourth with a single. He left the game with Detroit leading 1-0.

Scherzer had allowed 20 runs over 26 1/3 innings in his previous four starts, going 1-1.

The right-hander pitched nine innings once before in a game, on Sept. 1, 2010, in 2-1, 10-inning loss to Minnesota.

Martinez, who entered the game second in the AL with .330 average, extended his hitting streak to seven games as

Astrograph Partnerships look promising Friday, June 13, 2014 You will be one step closer to financial security if you take control of your spending and investments. Learn as much as you can about managing your wealth. Trust in your own ability to make informed decisions that will help you raise your standard of living.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Taking note of advice from an older relative or friend will enrich your life and add to your prosperity. You will benefit from the experience others have acquired.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Partnerships look promising in this current cycle. Consider getting in touch with a friend from your past. Make plans to travel or meet each other, or reconnect via email or social networks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Stop avoiding your duties so that you can enjoy a little downtime with friends or family. The rewards will be worth the effort you expend.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Your inner spirit will be stifled if you give in to negative comments.

Shake off old- fashioned or
