Board hopes to have DHS plan to look at in September

DIXON – It’s one thing to talk about updating Dixon High School. It’s another thing to see how it could look.

Representatives from Green Associates, Dixon School District’s architectural firm, will spend the next couple of months creating a conceptual plan on how a renovated or a new Dixon High School could look.

“At the May community forum, the public wanted to see what the plans could look like,” said Margo Empen, the district’s assistant super-

intendent. “This is not an endeavor that will be done in a short period of time.”

The conceptual plan will include developing a layout of renovations and additions to the existing high school building, and possible sites for a new high school.

The board is looking at two options, both of which also include basic renovation and upgrades at Washington and Jefferson elementary schools.

When it comes to the high school, option A includes renovation of DHS; option B includes building a new high school.

ROCK FALLS – Water was restored to residents late Tuesday, but they were still boiling it Wednesday.

The water supply was shut off for about 14 hours, after heavy rains flooded the city’s main lift station. City workers pumped the water from the station, and

by midafternoon Tuesday were able to get to the four submerged pumps that had shut down. The motors were taken out, dried and cleaned.

Mayor Bill Wescott called a news conference for 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday at City Hall, where he announced the water supply would gradually be brought back online at 8:30 p.m. Tuesday.

“It took about an hour for it to go from low to regular flow, and

it probably hit full pressure at around midnight,” City Clerk Eric Arduini said. “They wanted to bring it back online slowly, so it could be carefully monitored.”

Arduini said 10 water samples were taken to the lab in Dixon, and test results were expected sometime this morning. If all goes according to plan, the boil order will then be lifted.

Rockford man charged with selling

DIXON – A Rockford man was is in Lee County Jail on Wednesday on $100,000 bond for selling $500 worth of heroin to an undercover officer

in the Walmart parking lot, police said in a news release.

Antonio L. Sago Jr., 26, had just over 4 grams of heroin at the time of his arrest at 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, police said. He is charged with delivery of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school, deliv-

ery of a controlled substance, and possession of a controlled substance, all felonies.

Sago was convicted of aggravated criminal sexual abuse, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and armed robbery with a firearm in Winnebago County in 2007.

“With our crop rotations, a lot of those soybeans, they’ll drown out quick,” Sanford continued.

While corn is also susceptible, Sanford said the lower growing soy will reside under flooded plains longer. Since the Sauk Valley borders several major waterways – the Mississippi and Rock rivers among them – flooding is accentuated.

Regional producers are hoping the drainage rate exceeds that of local rainfall, Sanford said.

“If the rains don’t turn off long enough for the rivers to go down, we’re going to get a decent amount of acreage needing to be replanted,” Sanford said.

“Because the water is going to sit there long enough to kill it. If [rivers flood] but comes back down, the plants will stress, but they’ll kick out of it.”

WATFORD CITY, N.D. (AP) – A company proposing a $3.8 billion oil pipeline from western North Dakota to Illinois has received permission for a large crude terminal near Watford City, along with heavy criticism for what some landowners say is arrogance.

The McKenzie County Commission on Tuesday approved zoning for the terminal, one of six planned in the North Dakota oil patch for the proposed 1,134-mile Dakota Access Pipeline, The Bismarck Tribune reported.

The pipeline would move oil from the Bakken formation through South Dakota and Iowa to a terminal in Patoka for distribution to refineries in eastern states.

By Gina Kraman Your car’s overheating with your temperature gauge pointing to Hot. You probably can limp your vehicle along to a service station, but should you? According to car and towing experts at Slim-N-Hank’s, sometimes it’s best to tow a disabled but drivable car, to minimize engine damage. How do you know when to tow, which can be time-consuming and costly?

The answer is often obvious, such as when your car is in a collision and becomes un-drivable. Even if the accident looks minor, if there’s any fluid leaking from the vehicle, driving it may be unsafe, and cause even more damage.

Tow trucks are usually the best choice when your car lands in a ditch. Unforeseen road hazards, especially at night, may necessitate tow truck service if you can’t nudge your car back on the road. Muddy,

While some drivers belong to auto clubs offering roadside assistance, or their car manufacturers’ provide it, others feel stranded when their tires go flat, their battery needs a jumpstart, they run out of gas in a remote area, or they’re locked out. Tow truck services can come to the rescue.

Motor club AAA reports that it towed more than 12 million cars to repair shops in 2012. It advises stranded motorists to switch on their car’s emergency flashers, and get to a safe location away from traffic before calling for help.

Before responding to emergency calls, the towing company will ask motorists their exact location, a description of their vehicle, the type of problem, and a call back phone number.

Tow trucks are typically dispatched within the hour or sooner.

Military Mayor: Arellano handles juggling act T

hroughout the state, elected leaders in cities are plucked out of multiple industries. They’re teachers. They’re lawyers.

They’re entrepreneurs.

And they’re retirees.

But in Dixon, there’s a rarity – our city pulls its mayor from the military. Over the weekend, the Army Reserves temporarily pulled Mayor Li Arellano Jr. back.

He was in Li Arellano Jr. Machesney Dixon mayor Park conducting drills Friday to Sunday, and until further notice, he will continue to do so on a monthly basis.

pulls me away a little bit.”

Since 2003, Arellano has been enlisted. He had two tours in Iraq [2005 and 2009], and even considers himself a “career reservist.”

Holding a public office might mean he can receive an exemption, but the sum of his duties hasn’t become so overwhelming – yet – where he feels that’s necessary.

“Being elected mayor could potentially trigger exemption,” Arellano said. “If the workload gets too intense, that’s something I could consider, but everything you do, there’s ramifications for it. It changes my status in the military a little bit.”

Arellano already wears multiple hats as both a business owner and an office holder. Being a reservist on top of that makes him busy, but it’s tolerable for now.

“It’s certainly a balance, and you’ve got to find that balance,” Arellano said. “Generally, it doesn’t interrupt things with my city duties. It

Board to consult other entities TOUR

Wednesday served as a show-and-tell, Carey said. Less than a month into the new board terms, she has a laundry list of identified needs for her bosses to address: • Page Park, John C. Roe Park and Lowell Park need road re-surfacing.

• The Presidents Park sea wall is in need of renovation after neglect.

• Howell Park might require historic restoration.

• The Meadows needs invasive species removal.

• Various others require decisions on lighting, recreational renovations and the like.

Many of the board’s votes over the next several years will apportion public money.

“The tour is so when the board is making decisions about spending, they’ll have full knowledge of what they’re voting on,” Carey said. “Is it a safety issue? Is it aesthetics? Is it providing more recreational opportunities?”

The challenge for the board is operating within a tight budget, Carey said.

Dixon’s $835,000 pales in comparison to other dis-

After April’s election, husband and wife Steve and Nikki Pritchard joined Ben Nagy as the board’s new faces.

They’re coupled with Steve Pritchard’s father Ron – the board president – and returning vice president Shane Miller.

For returning members, the tour was a chance to see how parks have progressed. Newcomers got to see how far-reaching their new roles are.

Their consensus, for now, is that park maintenance staff is short, yet adequately maintains 1,100 acres of property.

“Without these extraordinary people, we could not do what we do,” Ron Pritchard said. “When you think about the amount of people we have, the size of the parks, the number of parks, and they’re ability to maintain it.”

Added Nagy: “The little manpower that we have and the acreage we have to keep up – we’re really just holding on by the skin of our teeth.”

tricts, said Ron Pritchard, stating Sterling’s budget is more than twice the size.

Board members indicated during the tour that a priority will be reaching out to other entities – the city, Lee County – to find solutions to what they feel is a minuscule budget.

Steve Pritchard said that’s the purpose of the board: finding ways enhance the region’s recreational profile responsibly.

“I definitely look at the parks differently [after election],” he said. “I feel like we’re responsible for doing what’s best for the parks for the people.”

The new board’s second monthly meeting June 24 will mark the first time all five will bring a 30-park impression to the table. From there, Ron Pritchard said, the budget juggling act continues with a 7-hour orientation under their belts.

“There’s nothing we can do to change [budget constraints],” he said.

“We’ve got to think up some creative ways to fix it. … We’re always thinking up plans to accomplish things, but you can only do so much.”

BOILING

Engineering professionals have been in town to figure out how the lift station was inundated with stormwater in such a short period of time. Rock Falls received 2.37 inches of water in a 45-minute period, starting about 5 p.m. Monday, according to weather service reports.

Sewer Department Supervisor Ed Cox said he didn’t even have time to make it to the plant before it was flooded.

“The first alarm went off at 5:28 p.m., and the second and third alarms were activated, and in less than 10 minutes, the pumps shut down and we had to pump out the building,” Cox said.

While there were no failures at the main lift

station, unlike the water emergency on Feb. 13, 2014, engineers are investigating the pump station.

“Stanley Consultants is now working at the sewer plant anyway, so they are putting together information, and SCADA people have been in to download data from the plant,” Wescott said.

SCADA, or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition, is a technology system that monitors and controls many municipal water and sewer networks.

The engineers are also checking the smaller lift stations that feed into the main facility.

Wescott said when the results of those investigative studies are in, the city will respond accordingly.

“If the data from the engineers tells us there is something we should

do to prevent this, we will look at it,” the mayor said. “We must remember, however, that everything comes with a cost.”

Ratepayers already have a $25.50 capital improvements line item on their bills for the sewer plant.

When plans for the plant were coordinated with the Environmental Protection Agency, the financing details were yet to be determined. The cost ended up being considerably less than originally planned.

“When that charge was first passed, it was supposed to be $70, but the city ended up having $9 million of $27 million forgiven, and we were able to get loans with zero percent interest,” Wescott said.

The favorable financing arrangement allowed the city to keep the charge at

$25.50 and still honor its EPA loan obligations.

Wescott said the city doesn’t want to increase charges for the ratepayers, unless it is deemed necessary by the engineering results.

“This was another unfortunate event, but before we make a kneejerk reaction, we need the facts from engineers,” Wescott said.

Because there were no equipment failures with the sanitary sewer system, the city will also have to take a look at its stormwater sewer infrastructure.

“Everything we now know tells us the sanitary sewer system worked the way it was supposed to,” Wescott said. “For whatever reasons, there was an inundation of water, and the sanitary sewer system suddenly became a stormwater system.”

Tank removal next step for parking lot

BY VINDE WELLS vwells@shawmedia.com Shaw Media

OREGON – The Ogle County Board is moving ahead with plans to create more parking spaces near the downtown judicial center.

Tuesday, the board accepted a proposal for $15,283 from Stiles Inc. of Loves Park to remove five underground storage tanks at 501 W. Washington St., at the corner of Washington and Fifth streets.

Board member Don Griffin, who is coordinating the project, said he

expects the work to be done in time for Autumn on Parade, Oct. 3 and 4.

The board set aside $18,000 for the removal, to cover any unexpected expenses. Two of the tanks still have oil in them. Stiles’ bid includes a price per gallon to pump them dry, plus a price per yard to remove any contaminated soil from around the tanks, and the price will vary depending on how much is found.

The tank removal is part of a three-phase project planned over the next few years to demolish

Board member Lee Meyers objected. “This is costing about $25,000 per parking space,” he said.

Board member Marcia Heuer said the environmental hazards need to be eliminated.

“This isn’t just a parking lot,” she said. “This property will take care of the county’s future expansion needs for 50 years.”

Phases 2 and 3 will cost about $162,000.

The county bought 501 W. Washington St. for $150,000 in June 2013, and that December, bought 102 S. Fifth St. for $99,500.

during construction.

“These are the things we will take into account,” Reigle said.

“We will visit those things and come back with enough facts to present to the community and get their input.”

Reigle said it will take some time to complete the plan. For one, DHS has to undergo a state audit, which happens every 10 years. Issues that could come up during the audit include repairs to the exterior walls, asbestos abatement, and heating, ventilating and air conditioning repairs.

“That will be started in the next week or two,”

“If there is a new high school on the site, we will look at what the building will look like and what facilities would be included on that site,” said George Reigle, principal with Green Associates. “We will also look at options for property around the community to accommodate the high school.”

Some of the things that will be taken into account include traffic flow, flood plain parameters, playing fields, and where students would be housed

Reigle said. “We will go through the buildings and come out with a list of deficiencies and put a dollar figure on it. We want to get that information and include it in this by the end of July.”

Once that is complete, Reigle plans to meet with district staff and explore available options.

If all goes well, Reigle hopes to have something he can share with the board in September.

“This will give you the information that will explore some of the questions that have been raised,” Reigle said.

“That way, when a decision is made, everything

is on the table.”

Members of the School Board were in favor of the plan.

“This is not a step in a different direction,” said Pam Tourtilott, president of the board. “It’s a step in a forward direction to get more of a conceptual idea out to the community with a little more detail.”

Gerald Guy, associate principal at Green Associates, said the plan will give the community more to consider.

“People can relate to the visual aspect,” Guy said. “You’ve been talking about it, but this shows the community what you are talking about.”

FEATURING:

g , t

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Auditor General William Holland, whose career of scrutinizing the flow of public money in Illinois has touched the administrations of five governors, announced Wednesday that he’s retiring after more than 2 decades on the job.

Holland, first appointed in 1992, made the news public in letters to legislative leaders and a rare Capitol news conference where he said he’s considered the move for some time. His retirement is effective Dec. 31, which he said allows time

A 2005 audit of nowimprisoned ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s central management agency revealed pervasive problems with accounting and contracting rules.

A review of an anti-violence program spearheaded by former Gov. Pat Quinn became a major stumbling block in the Democrat’s failed re-election bid last year.

“It’s a full-time job,” Holland said.

The 63-year-old, with a reputation for being straightforward, and at times, blunt, has overseen “thousands” of audits. He was reappointed in 2002 and again in 2012, but won’t finish the term.

What we think A week of champions concludes with Sauk Valley Media’s 2015 All-Star Basketball Classic. The first game starts at 5 p.m. today. We encourage the public to attend. pions is not over yet.

This evening at the Sauk Valley Community College gymnasium, Sauk Valley Media presents the 2015 All-Star Basketball Classic.

It’s one last opportunity for more than 40 area senior girls and boys basketball players, who graduated from high school last month, to lace up their shoes and play basketball before a local crowd once again.

The girls game begins at 5 p.m. in the air-conditioned SVCC gym. The boys game follows at 7 p.m. Admission is $5.

Twenty-two girls have been lined up to play in the opening game, which pits players from the Gazette circulation area against those who live in the Telegraph circulation area.

Likewise, 22 top senior boys basketball players will square off as Team Gazette tangles with Team Telegraph in the nightcap.

Some of these players won championships during their high school athletic careers. Some set records in various sports.

They all played hard, and they all ably represented

their schools and communities, which makes them all champions in our eyes.

And now, their future beckons – college, the military, career training, and the working world.

Some will even compete in college sports.

But before that, the All-Star Basketball Classic is in their immediate future.

We encourage a big turnout of fans for this evening’s games.

We wish the players good luck.

Some of them will walk away as members of winning All-Star teams, or after winning 3-point contests or the dunk contest, or as most valuable players.

To wrap up this week of champions, we wouldn’t have it any other way.

THE READER’S VOICE

Rural residents should be wary of crop dusters LONNIE H. SMITH Dixon

Last year was not an exception to the rule.

Again, my residence was sprayed by crop dusting planes, as well as other residences on Pump Factory Road, Lievan Road, as well as Harmon and Nelson townships.

Speaking to the landowner, he said it wasn’t his fault. He hired a local farm-chemical company to crop-dust his land.

Speaking to them, I told them I couldn’t get the numbers or letters on the planes as they were flying too fast. Complete denial after that.

Within the law, this will not be tolerated anymore.

When this happens to you, try to get the numbers and letters on the planes, and call the FAA or your local law enforce-

ment. Follow through to make sure something is being done about it. Better to be safe than sick.

When farmers are crop dusting and spraying pesticides on the ground, and if you and your children, grandchildren, etc., are downwind, please get in your homes and shut all the windows at least one-half hour after they’re done spraying.

Being too paranoid?

Don’t think so. Scientific tests and the medical field have proved a strong link to prostate cancer because of pesticide spraying. In my opinion, this is the tip of the iceberg.

After ground spraying earlier this spring, killing trees and grass, there’s also been plenty of rain.

Talking to a few farmers, they stated the chemicals and pesticides they use are completely harmless to humans. Don’t believe them. Please go online and do your homework.

To the people who live

in rural areas who have their own well water – due to heavy pesticide spraying, have your water tested at least once a year, especially if you have a commercial or shallow well.

Elderly are also victims of verbal abuse JEANNIE EICHELBERGER Rock Falls

Some women of domestic violence do not believe they are victims because they are not hit.

They may be cursed at, screamed at, and disrespected in front of their children or others.

Similarly, it is happening to elderly people who don’t recognize they are being verbally abused by their own children. They don’t want to believe it.

It’s too painful to face.

Nonetheless, it happens. Their grown children may raise their voic-

However, in doing that, the parent is crying on the inside. It’s abuse, plain and simple. If your grown children fail you, fear not, your heavenly Father loves you very much.

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

SPRINGFIELD – People on the outside of this slow-motion train wreck in Springfield, who nonetheless are paying attention, may have noticed the almost schizophrenic aura surrounding the thing.

Take last Tuesday.

House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Chicago Democrats, met with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. At a news conference later in the day, Madigan said the meeting was cordial and productive.

But between the meetings and Madigan’s news conference, Rauner held his own availability, at which he accused Madigan and CulHouse lerton of Speaker making milMichael lions in their Madigan private law p r a c t i c e s D-Chicago Madigan, off of high target of p r o p e r t y the Gov.

It was Rauner’s criticism, very close to calling both defends his actions as men crooks. leader of Madigan the Illinois c a l l e d h i s House and a private news confer- aspractice ence to rebut attorney who Rauner, to specializes explain that in property tax cases, his law pracaccording t i c e d e a l s to columnist with prop- Doug Finke. erty assessment errors, and to make clear that there is a firewall between his law practice and his position as a public official.

He said that during his meeting with Rauner, the governor made no mention of his problems with Madigan’s law practice.

Rauner also made a series of visits last week to areas represented by Democratic lawmakers.

They were accompanied by news releases from the Illinois Republican Party calling on lawmakers in those areas to choose between Madigan or Cullerton and supporting taxpayers.

During one of those visits near the Quad Cities, Rauner repeated his attack theme of the week.

Then, according to news accounts, he also said talks continue among staffers, and they are keeping cool heads about them.

It just seems like the opposite of the way people usually operate.

Normally, they say nice things in public and save the vitriol for private discussions. In this case, the governor apparently is very pleasant and cordial in private meetings

before holding a public news conference to label the top two Democrats in the Legislature as corrupt insiders.

It is, to say the least, an interesting approach to negotiating a compromise.

And remember, the governor says he’s still willing to engage in talks to reach a settlement.

For those who can’t wait for the next installment of this futility, both chambers returned to Springfield on Tuesday.

You probably won’t lose any money betting on “more of the same.” You also could probably just let your money ride on that for a while.

Quotable quote “I’ve already been there.

I wish not to return.”

– Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, a former state senator, after asking whether the House would follow the Senate schedule for June and being told he could return to the Senate if he wanted a schedule. The House later announced it would meet every Tuesday like the Senate.

Hold everything Sandack, who often leads the House Republican debate on bills, later asked again about the schedule. Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, who was presiding, said they would get back to him.

“Should I hold my breath?” Sandack asked.

“The body would appreciate that,” Lang responded.

Plenty to do With lawmakers facing an open-ended schedule for returning to Springfield this summer, Rep. Rita Mayfield, D-Waukegan, acted as an impromptu ambassador for the city last week.

She spoke on the House floor, extolling all of the things there are to do in Springfield, specifically citing the various activities available at Knight’s Action Park. It was a sort of “don’t be depressed if you have to spend a lot of time here this summer rather than back at your homes” pick-me-up to her colleagues.

It prompted Rep. Tim Butler, R-Springfield, to say he’d be happy to have someone from the local chamber of commerce come in and brief lawmakers on summer entertainment options in the city.

No one took him up on the offer, but it’s only 2 weeks into overtime.

Man gives widow guilt trip to make her stay Dear Abby, I have been having an affair with a married man for 8 years. At first, both of us were married, but my husband died 2 years ago. Since then, my lover and I have grown closer, but he won’t leave his wife because of his kids.

I love him dearly, but cannot go on living life this way. He doesn’t want me to see other people. Every time I try to end it, he talks me out of it and makes me feel guilty for trying. I need help, please.

– Messed Up in Minnesota Dear Messed Up, The little voice that’s

has a harem. If that’s fine with you, I can’t change your mind. But if it isn’t, remove the blinders from your eyes and end this romance, because it is going nowhere and probably never will.

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

telling you you can’t go on living this way is your rational thinking. The one that’s talking you out of moving on is coming from a selfish individual who is thinking only of his own interests and not yours.

As it stands, your lover

Dear Abby, I’m in a quandary. Many years ago, we rescued a precious 4-year-old and her newborn brother from a horrific living situation and tried to adopt them. After more than a year and 16 contentious court hearings, we were devastated when the court returned them to their mother. I’m sure they have no idea how hard we fought for them,

and I still love them dearly and keep tabs on them as best I can.

The girl is now 18, and I am retiring and will be moving away. I have a bin of baby things, school mementos, etc. for each of them that I’ve kept all these years, and which I will return to them. However, I also have the many photographs that documented their indescribable living conditions, the police reports, the court documents, etc. I strongly feel these should be destroyed, because to see and read this graphic information would be far too traumatic and would serve no good purpose.

What do you think? Is

it right to withhold this from them?

– Holding On in California Dear Holding On, I don’t believe in withholding information, so before you do, I think you should tell the young woman what you have and let her make the final decision about what should be done with it.

have imperfections, but if I were a man, I would be proud to be seen with me.

Men stutter around me, so they don’t ask me out.

I attract younger men, but I live in a small town and I wouldn’t want to start rumors. Please tell me what you think about my dilemma, and will I ever find a soul mate.

– Wondering in Georgia

Dear Abby, I have heard this but never believed it: When a woman is beautiful, men are afraid to ask her out for fear that they will be turned down. I am 65, and all my life I have (luckily) been told that I am beautiful. I

Dear Wondering, You will find a soul mate after you stop worrying about what people say about you. At your age, eligible men are scarce, so if someone younger shows interest, don’t make your decisions on outdated stereotypes, take him up on it.

COMMENTARY | MUSIC REVIEWS

Reagan Run 5K registration open

Nate Ruess’ voice rises above lesser material on ‘Grand Romantic’ (Grade: B-minus) You might not recognize Nate Ruess’ name, but if you have listened to pop music in the past few years, you definitely know his voice.

Ruess is the lead singer of the band fun., which broke big with the 2012 album “Some Nights” and the hit singles “We Are Young” and “Carry On.” His big, high-ranging voice is among the industry’s best, and has been since his days as the frontman of the incredibly underrated alternative rock band The Format.

Ruess this week released his first solo album, “Grand Romantic.” If you like the band fun., you’ll like this record. But you might not love it, because it’s not as consistent or compelling musically as “Some Nights,” one of the best records of 2012.

“Grand Romantic” has its moments, particularly those that sound a lot like a continuation of what fun. has been doing. The singles “Nothing Without Love,” “AhHa” and “Great Big Storm” have the bombast and catchy hooks to rank with the best of fun.’s material. And the penultimate track, “Harsh Light,”

Annual event helps local organizations STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4-85, ext. 5501

is a grande pop rock ballad in the form of “Stars,” which closed out “Some Nights.”

But “Grand Romantic” gets bogged down by slower, less exuberant tracks like “Moment,” “It Only Gets Worse” and “What This World Is Coming To,” a clumsy country ballad that wastes a duet with Beck.

Those songs and the weirdly cinematic title track are made more interesting than they should be by Ruess’ amazing voice. The guy probably would be an interesting listen even if he were singing from a phone book. And in the closer, “Brightside,” he nearly is, singing a chorus of “La, la, la.”

“Grand Romantic” certainly should have enough hits to make Nate Ruess a more recognizable name.

And the record is good, for sure. It’s just not as much, well, fun as the band Ruess fronts.

Ryn Weaver’s wonderful debut, ‘The Fool,’ full of promise (Grade: B-plus) Can something be breathtaking and a breath of fresh air at the same time?

Did I just blow your mind? Welcome to the club.

That’s what Ryn Weaver did to me when I first heard her debut album, “The Fool,” which dropped Tuesday.

Weaver is golden. Her premiere is full of great hooks and experimental production.

She joins the small pack of intelligent pop musicians who take chances, push boundaries, all while keeping things catchy. Imagine Lady Gaga without all the silly costumes.

The first song, “Runaway,” features an airy, electronic introduction that ends abruptly and merges into something more stripped-down and intense.

It’s fun. Different. I wasn’t exactly sure what was going on, but I knew I liked it.

The second song, previously released “OctaHate,” is one of the more straightforward pop songs on the album, held together by Weaver’s powerful voice.

Her voice is unique, seemingly capable of capturing almost any emotion with any tone. It’s got a vintage feel to it, similar to the three sisters of the indie-pop group Haim.

Beyond Weaver’s impressive vocals, these are just some great pop songs we’re dealing with here.

The title track is a toetapper, featuring some fun effects on the 22-yearold’s fierce falsetto.

“Promises,” possibly the best song on the album, has a Postal Service feel to it. It’s electronic without the glitter, unlike most of the mindless electronic dance music crap pushed by mainstream music.

“Free” could end up being a mega-hit. Its chorus is infectious.

Coming as something of a surprise, “Traveling Song,” is an acoustic pop-folk breath of fresh air. It’s unlike most of the rest of the album, but held together by Weaver’s voice, reminiscent of Stevi Nicks in this one.

The folk vibes continue with “Here is Home,” a less-impressive track that unfortunately never really amounts to much. It’s fine.

Just a letdown. Similarly, “Sail On” falls flat earlier in the album.

But, the album’s final track, “New Constellations,” is a great finale.

“Charting Neptune by the fire of the sun. Kept looking for new constellations.”

Sounds like the words of a woman coming into her own.

Weaver has done that and then some with “The Fool.” The wise-beyondits-years album jumps near the top of my list of 2015’s best.

I still can’t believe I didn’t know who Weaver was before Tuesday.

I know. Go ahead and say it: I’m a fool.

‘Respect’ to open up Festival 56 season Change in women’s role in popular music over time depicted in show STAFF REPORT news@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5501

PRINCETON – “Respect: A Musical Journey of Women,” the first show of the Festival 56 season, had its own circuitous journey to the stage.

The show runs from Fri-

day to June 26 at Grace Performing Arts Center, 316 S. Main St. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday and Friday, and 2 p.m.

Saturday and Wednesday.

The story begins with Dr. Dorothy Marcic, a

Vanderbilt University professor, who, while teaching a class on women in management, starts weaving popular music into her lectures.

She soon becomes fascinated with how much the portrait of women in popular songs has changed over time.

Ultimately, Marcic analyzes the lyrics to 2,400 Top 40 songs sung by women in the

20th century. The contrast between the earlier years and the latter decades is stark, she finds. From “Someone to Watch Over Me,” written in 1926, and well into the 1960s, many of the songs were still about women’s neediness and dependency, like “I’d Do Anything for You,” and “I Will Follow Him.” In the last decades

Chance to add pieces of flair

G

abby Sandoval held out her hand to Clare Kramer on Monday night in Prophetstown, and while I was standing too far away to hear, it was clear that the Sterling graduate was asking for Kramer to pick a finger.

Kramer, a Prophetstown grad, picked one and waited.

Sandoval took the basketball from her other hand and started spinning it on that finger. The ball stayed atop her fingertip as it spun. She then moved the ball from one finger to the next, and even let it drop down to her knuckles.

Sandoval’s tricks aren’t a scheduled part of the SVM All-Star Classic that tips off today with the girls game at 5 p.m. and the boys to follow at Sauk Valley Community College, but we expect she will have some highlights that Golden Warrior fans grew accustomed to over the last 4 years.

Kramer and Sandoval were at the Gazette girls practice Monday at Prophetstown High School, along with most of the rest of their teammates for tonight’s game.

Mike McCracken has been the head coach, his assistant is his daughter, Shauna Dinges, and her daughter, Kennedy (11), has been the starting point guard.

The Amboy senior is headed to Sauk Valley Community College next season, where she will play basketball under coach Jed Johnson. It will be the first time she will have a coach that isn’t a family member.

A photo of a young Dinges shows her shooting a basketball on a small rim. It was the perfect sight for a basketballcentric family, where the sport is everything. Dinges’ mother, Shauna, and Amboy varsity coach Mike McCracken,

Shauna coaches seventh and eighth grade basketball at Amboy Junior High, as well as being the Clippers’ varsity assistant. McCracken coaches the Little Clippers from third through sixth grade, as well as the high school level.

It has been a fun ride, as the family has always had something in common.

NBA FINALS

Warriors on deep end Golden State proves that small ball can work in NBA

On the calendar Local events

BY BRIAN MAHONEY AP Basketball Writer

Basketball

CLEVELAND – Andre Iguodala was more than just a key player on a team that beat LeBron James and Cleveland.

Turns out he used to beat up on Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.

“We beat the first unit more times than they beat us, and I think it was by a landslide,” Iguodala said.

So good, so deep that the MVP of the NBA Finals never started a game all season, the Warriors built the kind of squad that can compete for many NBA titles.

And when they were in trouble trying to win this one, down 2-1 in the series, they inserted Iguodala into the lineup. He responded with the same defensive effort he had been providing against James, along with unsuspected offense, including 25 points Tuesday in the Game 6 clincher.

“He was great the entire series.

But he saved this season for us,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “I always say Andre’s a pro’s pro. He’s a professional guy, and it showed, and that’s why he’s the MVP of this series, and that’s why we’re champions.”

One of the reasons, anyway.

There’s also Curry, the regularseason MVP, who delivered a couple of big 3-pointers in the fourth quarter that helped the Warriors build a big enough lead to withstand Cleveland’s late comeback. And there was Green, the Defensive Player of the Year runner-up, who bounced back from a poor start to the series to finish with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists Tuesday.

Throw in 10 points apiece off the bench from Shaun Livingston and Festus Ezeli, or David Lee re-emerging earlier in the series after falling out of the rotation, and the Warriors still had plenty of firepower off the bench even once Iguodala was no longer part of it.

Iguodala was the primary defender on James, but as James said, “It’s never 1-on-1.”

“But I think his ability to play

Andre Iguodala guards LeBron James during Tuesday’s decisive game of the NBA Finals in Cleveland. Igoudala was named the series MVP after the Warriors beat the Cavs. multiple positions for their team along with some of those other guys allowed their team to be so dynamic,” James added.

Iguodala was a former No. 1 option in Philadelphia, who won gold with the U.S. Olympic team in 2012. Lee has made multiple All-Star teams. Livingston was a one-time No. 4 pick in the draft, who has become a valuable and versatile player after overcoming a devastating knee injury earlier in his career.

“Well, it speaks to the character of the players more than anything. [General manager] Bob Myers and his staff have done an incredible job of putting together this roster,” coach Steve Kerr said. “I was well aware of the versatility that the roster had, but as I got to know the players, I realized they had what it took

spiritually, emotionally. They were united. They wanted to win.”

They are good enough to do it again, provided they keep Green and Harrison Barnes once they are eligible for free agency, and if they can find a way to overcome the rugged Western Conference.

Plenty of teams that looked great one year couldn’t do it the next on the stronger side of the NBA bracket.

But not many of those teams had what these Warriors had, a team that ultimately won 83 games, more than any team other than Michael Jordan’s Bulls.

“I think we definitely are a great team, and a team that should go down in history as one of the best teams from top to bottom,” Curry said. “We have a lot of things to be proud of this season.”

Execs didn’t know about hacking Attorney says high-ranking Cardinals were not involved

BY R.B. FALLSTROM AP Sports Writer

ST. LOUIS – High-level executives of the St. Louis Cardinals were not involved in the hacking of the Houston Astros’ player personnel database, an attorney hired by the team said Wednesday, citing an internal review.

The Cardinals said they retained the Dowd Bennett firm for a review several months before this week’s disclosure that the FBI is investigating whether the team hacked into the Astros computer system that is used to track players and prospects.

“With what we have done so far, I am 100 percent confident that this does not touch upper management and does not involve people like John Mozeliak and Bill DeWitt,” Jim Martin, an attorney for the firm, told The Associated Press. Mozeliak is the Cardinals’ general manager, and DeWitt is the team chairman.

Martin said he was retained in February.

The FBI has declined to confirm it is investigating the Cardinals, but a person familiar with the investigation earlier told the AP that federal

AP

Jeff Luhnow, the Astros general manager, once headed the Cardinals’ scouting and player development department. The Astros player database was reportedly hacked by his former colleagues in St. Louis. authorities are investigating whether members of the team were to blame for what Major League Baseball called a “breach” of the Astros database. There has been no indication of how many employees might be under investigation, and Martin’s comments were the first to suggest that any wrongdoing could be limited to the lower levels of the Cardinals organization.

The internal investigation is not finished.

“These are serious alle-

gations that don’t reflect who we are as an organization,” DeWitt said.

“We are committed to getting to the bottom of this matter as soon as possible, and if anyone within our organization is determined to be involved in anything inappropriate, they will be held accountable.”

DeWitt said the law firm is helping the team in providing requested information to the federal government. MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said this week that

subpoenas have been issued, though he did not disclose any details.

“The alleged conduct has no place in our game,” Mozeliak said.

“We are committed to finding out what happened. To the extent we can substantiate that these allegations have merit, we will take appropriate action against anyone involved.”

The hack was first reported in June 2014 after some of the trade talk was published online. The Astros rely heavily on analytics in their evaluation of players, and use an online database called Ground Control to house proprietary information.

Jeff Luhnow, who headed the Cardinals’ scouting and player development department, was hired as the Astros general manager in December 2011, and he has helped turn the team into an AL contender.

Luhnow has not commented this week, but last year said the Astros were working with the FBI and MLB security to determine who was responsible for the breach.

The motive for hacking the Astros’ computer system is unclear.

Cubs bear down on Indians Chicago slugs four homers; Sox, Cards lose By the Associated Press

Kris Bryant had a grand slam and Kyle Schwarber was 4-for-5, including his first major league hit and RBI, and the Chicago Cubs hit four home runs to rout the Indians 17-0 on Wednesday night in Cleveland.

The Cubs scored seven times in the ninth inning, which ended with Indians position players Ryan Raburn and David Murphy pitching.

Schwarber, the fourth pick in last year’s draft who was called up Tuesday, tripled in the second to key a six-run inning, and added an RBI single in the third when the Cubs scored four times.

Schwarber hit into a double play in the fourth and singled in the seventh. He added an infield hit in the ninth.

Cleveland used seven pitchers in the first eight innings before calling on Raburn, who was given a loud ovation by the crowd of 15,572.

In the ninth, Murphy allowed a hit, walked one and hit a batter before Bryant’s grand slam.

Pirates 3, White Sox 2:

Jeff Locke allowed just two runs in six innings, Jung Ho Kang hit a tworun home run, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the struggling White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field for their seventh straight win.

Milone (3-1) gave up five hits and struck out five, and Eduardo Nunez had two hits and two RBIs to help the reeling Twins, who had lost seven of their previous eight games.

Carlos Martinez (7-3) gave up two runs – one earned – on five hits and struck out six in 6 2/3 innings for the Cardinals.

The Cardinals had two runners on with no outs in the ninth, but Glen Perkins struck out Mark Reynolds and Randal Twins 3, Cardinals 1: Grichuk, and got Yadier Tommy Milone gave up Molina to ground out. innings end at 35.

Locke (4-3) was followed by Arquimedes Caminero, Tony Watson and Mark Melancon, who combined for scoreless relief over the final three innings, with Melancon getting his 22nd save.

The White Sox, who snapped a string of 30 scoreless innings with two runs in the sixth, have dropped a seasonhigh six straight.

Locke gave up three hits and had a season-high eight strikeouts.

White Sox starter John Danks (3-7) settled down after a shaky first inning to allow three runs on five hits in seven hittings.

I

knew there was always a reason I liked Rick “Tank” Shroyer, and that point was evident late Tuesday afternoon.

We were on the 17th hole at Timber Creek Golf Course in Dixon, getting ready to hit some chip shots around the green. Suddenly, the unmistakeable sound of a blaring cell phone was coming from our cart. Thankfully, it wasn’t mine.

When Shroyer got around to answering it, his response was, “Hey, I thought I told you to never call me when I’m on the golf course.”

Amen to that, brother.

For this week’s Links With Locals, I had the pleasure of golfing with an old friend, Shroyer, who I’ve known basically since moving to Dixon almost a quarter of a century ago, and a new friend, Ryan Marshall, the owner of one of my favorite watering holes, The Stables, in Dixon.

Shroyer was once known for belting softballs over the fences at Reynolds Field, in various Dixon Park District leagues, but it’s been 8 years since he hung up his spikes. Golf is his game now, and he makes it out to Timber Creek when not attending a sporting event of one of his grandkids.

On the first tee, Shroyer pointed out he still uses a pair of persimmon fairway woods (3 & 5) that he purchased long ago from Bruce Scheidegger, a prominent athlete, teacher, coach and school administrator from the area. I played a fair amount of golf with Scheidegger, who died a few years ago, and I remember those very clubs being used.

With all due respect to Tank, Bruce was a bit more effective using

those wooden relics. It was awesome, though, to see them still in play.

Marshall has owned the Stables for almost 5 years, and it has long been one of my favorite spots. The previous owner, the late Dave Garland, gave me a Stables sweatshirt about 10 years back that I still wear to this day – or at least a few months ago, when it was a bit chillier than it is now.

Late Wednesday afternoon was my hangout time at The Stables, after banging out a weekly athlete of the week story, and before heading out to Plum Hollow for a bowling league. There was enough time for a couple of drafts, to read that day’s newspaper, and to leave a pile of

peanut shells underneath my bar stool.

The Stables has changed quite a bit under Marshall’s ownership, with more and better televisions, no shelled peanuts, and a bevy of draft beer options to choose from. A challenge for Marshall: to get Spotted Cow across the Wisconsin border and on his beer menu. It’s a shame that nectar of the gods is limited to north of the Cheddar Curtain.

As for the golf, thank goodness we got to play at all after the monsoon that rolled through the Sauk Valley on Monday afternoon.

Timber Creek must have a good drainage system, because there weren’t really too many spots with casual water, and the greens were smooth as usual.

Marshall was the medalist with a 3-overpar 75, a score that likely would have been lower had he discovered he was hitting a Titleist driver that had been altered. He kept hitting snap hooks, then discovered on the eighth tee another golfer who had borrowed

the driver adjusted the loft and didn’t put it back.

Once the club was properly adjusted, Marshall got off the tee much better. He also hit the shot of the day – a wedge from about 150 yards to a foot for a tap-in birdie on the par-4 14th hole.

If he can put it together for 54 holes this weekend, Marshall may earn a spot on the always-tough-to-make Men’s Lincoln Highway team at Timber Creek.

It’s a testament to the club’s depth he isn’t a shoo-in.

Shroyer’s round of 91 was highlighted by a birdie on the par-4 11th hole, after a sweet approach to about 5 feet. He needed a par on the last hole to break 90, but wasn’t quite able to finish off the job. Three double bogeys on par threes were also troublesome.

As for me, I was the only one without a birdie, despite having some decent chances.

I finished with a rather boring 78. With the Lincoln Highway a little more than a month away, that number needs to come down.

McCracken experienced coaching family

Westfall put through pro drills

FAMILY

CONTINUED FROM B1

It has led to her becoming a strong point guard at Amboy.

In the backyard at the Dinges house sits a fully painted half basketball court. The 3-point arc and free-throw line were carefully measured at the proper distance, and the state-of-the-art hoop resembles ones she plays on at the high school level.

But having a coach as a family member hasn’t always been easy.

When Dinges was growing up, having her mom double as her coach put stress on the relationship at home. She remembers a time during her eighth-grade season where it got so bad that her mother almost gave up coaching, as a result of the two having a hard time distinguishing the difference from home life and basketball.

“It got pretty bad that year,” Dinges said. “We would argue about what happened on the court too much. We talked and realized that we wanted that mother and daughter relationship back. She was ready to give up coaching, but that’s not what I wanted because I know she loved it so much.

“We kind of came to an agreement, or understanding, that whatever happens in games or practices doesn’t come home with us.”

Shauna and Kennedy are now better than ever. Even the relationship with McCracken, or Poppa – which she sometimes lets slip during games – has been cushy.

The two see each other just about every day, as their Amboy homes are about 1 mile apart.

Since Shauna doesn’t cook often, meals are usually had at McCracken’s house.

“My mom told me growing up that I had two choices,” Dinges said. “I could either have a cooking mom, or a coaching mom. She was definitely a coaching mom.”

McCracken coached Dinges for 3 years at the varsity level. Coaching a family member, he was always aware of what people outside of the program, or parents of players in the program, thought of that relationship.

Luckily McCracken had a crash course with his oldest son, Jaron.

Jaron had obvious talents in

Braeden Wesftall hopes to help the Rock Falls Rockets to more wins this fall. Before that, he’ll gain some invaluable experience at the Blue-Grey Combine.

Kennedy Dinges helped the Clippers to back-to-back regional titles in her junior and senior seasons. She hopes to help the Telegraph team to a win tonight at the SVM All-Star Classic. eighth grade, and his 6-foot, 2-inch frame caught the eyes of the seniors on the varsity squad.

Those players approached McCracken before Jaron’s freshman year, and asked them if he would be playing with them next season.

“The guys came up to me and told me they wanted to win, and they thought Jaron would be able to help,” McCracken said. “They told me they were tired of losing.

They haven’t won more than six games, and that they would work with him.”

Jaron’s talents helped the Clippers win more games than the seniors could have hoped for, getting into double figures each season. He scored fewer than 10 points just twice in his 4-year varsity career, on his way to becoming the Clippers’ all-time

leading scorer.

Because his son helped out the team, McCracken didn’t hear too much talk about him playing favorites. But he was still cautious.

“That sort of prepared me for [Dinges],” McCracken said.

McCracken brought Dinges up to the varsity squad during her sophomore year, even though he thought she wasn’t 100 percent ready. But she proved her worth with her ability to read defenses and handle the ball well.

“You don’t ever want to play favorites,” McCracken said, “and it’s sort of an easy target, but you learn to treat everyone the same.”

“It’s been fun,” Dinges said. “It’s something I’ve done my whole life, and like I said after that junior high year, you learn to distinguish the two and just play some basketball.”

Wednesday afternoon, six of the Telegraph boys met at Lancaster Gym in Dixon, and they played some 3-on-3.

The game stopped briefly as they discussed a possible travel call.

Telegraph coach Jason Mead shook his head and rolled his eyes.

If he were preparing a team for something more than an all-star game, he’d be stripping away

some of the razzle-dazzle dribble moves and having the players get down to business.

But it is an all-star game, and Mead spent time talking about getting his Dixon Dukes program going for next season.

“I like preparing teams to win,” Mead said.

Replacing those two players at both ends of the court are two of the priorities for the Dukes heading into next winter.

But for tonight, that stuff will be replaced by the razzle-dazzle, and while all four teams that take the court will want to win, it’s not the paramount part of the experience.

Many of these players

are going on to play in college, but few will ever get a chance to play in front of hometown fans that include family and friends.

So if you don’t have anything better to do – heck, even if you do – why not spend tonight watching some of these young faces play for one last time.

By the time you see many of them again, they’ll be adults.

The second lead is as important

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Willie Tyler, a ventriloquist, comedian and thespian, said, “The reason lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place is that the same place isn’t there the second time.”

That sounds logical, although an overbid on the power of lightning.

The key word for today’s deal, though, is “second.”

A defender’s opening lead imparts information about his holding in that suit, but sometimes it takes his second lead to tell partner exactly how to defend.

How does that apply in this deal?

South is in three no-trump, and West leads the heart three. South takes East’s queen with his king, crosses to dummy with a spade, and

runs the club queen. What should happen after that?

The auction was simple and straightforward.

North, with a balanced hand and no thought of a slam, correctly did not men-

tion his minor suit.

West knows that South holds the heart jack, because if East had had that card, he would have played the jack, not the queen, at trick one.

When playing third hand high, one tables the bottom of touching cards.

So, unless South started with an unlikely king-jackdoubleton, West must try to get East on lead for a heart return through declarer’s jack. How? Clearly, the answer is in diamonds. But which diamond should West lead?

As he wants East to return a heart, West should lead his nine, the high card denying interest in that suit.

Then, East should win with his ace and return the heart nine, resulting in down two.

Tune in tomorrow for the antithesis of this deal. © 2015 UFS

CHILD CARE

512

NO INDIVIDUAL, unless licensed or holding a permit as a childcare facility, may cause to be published any advertisement soliciting a child care service.* A childcare facility that is licensed or operating under a permit issued by the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services may publish advertisements of the services for which it is lispecifically censed or issued a permit. Sauk Valley Media strongly urges any parent or guardian to verify the validity of the license of any facility before placing a child in it's care. *Family homes that care for no more than three (3) children under the age of twelve or which receive only children from a single household, for less than 24 hours per day, are exempt from licensure as day care homes.

The three children to whom this exemption applies includes the family's natural or adopted children and any other persons under the age of 12 whether related or unrelated to the operator of the day care home. (DCFS Rule, Part 377.3 (c))

Astrograph The ball is in your court Thursday June 18, 2015 This will be an amazing and progressive year for you. Your popularity will grow and a professional gain is in the offing.

Don’t be afraid to take control of your future and forge your own path. You are so unique that following the crowd will not satisfy your curiosity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Self-analysis will help you determine what you really want. Think about your career and personal goals, and make modifications that will help you achieve your dreams.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be placed in a vulnerable position if you give in to temptation. Compliments are always welcome, but they may hide an agenda. Consider the source.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Before rushing into a lifealtering decision, make sure that you have all the information necessary. Don’t burn bridges in your pursuit of new people, places and pastimes.

DRIVES IT HOME!!!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -Don’t worry about what your opponents are up to. You are on a fast track to success, and

nothing can stop you. Your hard work and dedication will pay handsomely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Tension will mount at home if you don’t spend some alone time in pursuit of a solitary venture. You’ll have regrets if you go head-to-head with an unreasonable family member.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- You’ll have countless distractions today. Discipline and determination will be required if you intend to get to the finish line. Check your work before making your presentation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will be surprised by the ripple effect that will take place if you help others. You will receive acclaim for your kindness, and your status and popularity will make you a desired companion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make sure that you stay in sync with what’s going on around you. You will be blamed for someone else’s carelessness if you aren’t careful. Protect your reputation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Romance is in your stars, and making special plans for two or getting out and meeting someone new and exciting is encouraged.

Share your ideas and goals in order to receive insightful input.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -The ball is in your court, and you are in control of your future.

By being resourceful, you can attract partners to help turn your dreams, hopes and wishes into a going concern.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -Depression will set in if you overspend. Get a realistic budget in place and start lowering your debt load. Prudent spending habits will ease your stress and help you gain freedom.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You should attend a social gathering and mingle with people you find stimulating. A trip to an unusual location will trigger an idea for a new project. Love and romance are highlighted.
