OREGON | BLACK HAWK STATUE

Urgent need for fixes, funds Damage to statue ‘way more than we expected’

BY VINDE WELLS Shaw Media vwells@shawmedia.com

OREGON – The $724,000 already raised for the repair and restoration of the Black Hawk statue probably won’t be enough.

“We have sufficient funds to do 80 percent of the work,” said Frank Rausa of Sterling. He is leading the effort to repair the 103-year-old statue that overlooks the Rock River at Lowden State Park near Oregon.

Rausa said he will not have a better estimate of the cost until repair work begins later this summer.

“Until we start removing the exterior surface, we won’t know the full extent of the damage,” he said.

To donate Checks can be made to the Illinois Conservation Foundation and marked for the Black Hawk Statue, and mailed to Illinois Conservation Foundation, 1 Natural Resources Way, Springfield, IL 62702.

Rausa is a member of the Friends of the Black Hawk Statue, an organization that has been working to secure funding for the repairs.

DIXON – Today marks what is likely the final chapter in one of the bloodiest crimes in Amboy’s history.

Matthew Welling, convicted May 19 of five counts of first-degree murder and one count of home invasion, will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. in the Lee County courtroom of Judge Ron Jacobson.

The 34-year-old Amboy man, who has no previous criminal record, faces 26 to 180 years in prison for stabbing and beating Delmar “Leroy” Daniels, 79, in the early hours of July 18, 2012.

The autopsy showed Daniels had a broken jaw, broken ribs, a broken nose, and more than 30 cuts and stabs to his head alone. He bled to death from a deep slash to the back of his neck. The murder weapon was a broken glass vase.

Kuhn: Streetscape ahead of schedule D

IXON – Closed roads and construction crews have become the norm in downtown Dixon as the streetscape project reaches its sixth week.

In April, the City Council awarded a contract for the streetscape work to Fischer Excavating Inc. of Freeport for nearly $5.8 million. A portion of that will be paid for by KSB Hospital for work on a parking lot off Ottawa Avenue.

Work started in late May, with the closing of portions of First Street, Peoria Avenue and Third Street.

Since then, some additional roads and sections of those streets have been closed, but Jeff Kuhn, commissioner of streets

and public improvements, said the work is ahead of schedule. “It’s starting to come together. I’m pleased.

Fischer is pleased,� he said, adding that he liked the way the sidewalks were beginning to look.

The streetscape project also is expected to add 50 trees. The downtown

trees were a topic of discussion before the project began, and even in a letter to the editor that ran in the recent SV Weekend edition.

Some residents have criticized what they saw as too much of an emphasis on adding parking spaces at the expense of trees.

Tuesday, Kuhn said there will be more trees than before, including some that will be planted

along sections of streets that didn’t have them before.

The final focus group sessions for the city’s strategic planning will be held at 3 and 6 p.m. on Monday at Loveland Community House, 513 W. Second St. There will be two groups for each session, City Administrator David Nord said in an email.

Each session will last about 90 minutes, he

said, and will be led by Sikich, the Napervillebased accounting and consulting company that’s leading the strategic planning.

The focus groups are an “opportunity for citizens to share their thoughts on the community and discuss what direction the city should be heading,� Nord said.

During the Dixon School Board meeting last week, members approved a motion to accept recommended changes to the Dixon High, Reagan Middle and Jefferson Elementary school handbooks.

Among the changes to Reagan’s handbook was a proposal to change the wording regarding eli-

gibility for school sports and activities, changing the D+ grade average to a D- average, which would match the school’s policy.

Board member Kevin Sward was the first to raise concern about the policy, saying there should be a higher standard.

After discussion, the motion was amended to make the eligibility a D average.

OGLE COUNTY

Concealed carry vote for county employees raises concerns Some worry workers now ‘sitting ducks’

BY CHRIS JOHNSON Shaw Media cxjohnson@shawmedia.com

OREGON – Pat Saunders is concerned about what a new concealed carry policy means for Ogle County employees. “It makes them sitting ducks,� Saunders, of Polo, said.

Saunders was one of seven Ogle County Board members to vote against the policy, passed June 17.

The state’s concealed carry law allows no one except law enforcement officials to bring con-

cealed weapons into public buildings, including courthouses and municipal buildings.

The board’s vote brought county personnel policy in line with that law.

Board member Lyle Hopkins, of Polo, called the state law “dumb.� “Marking these buildings is the stupidest thing,�

Hopkins said during the meeting, referring to the law, which requires signs showing a gun with a red circle through it to notify people that guns are not allowed inside the building.

He said criminals can target these buildings because they know the employees and custom-

by Democrats in Chicago,� Saunders said. “Can we make changes to this?� “We can develop one for Ogle County,� board member Skip Kenney of Rochelle said. “I think the personnel committee can sit down and develop a policy better suited for our county.�

But Bill Welty, a board member from Chana, said, “this is state law.�

He explained the law to the board. “Concealed carry allows loaded handguns in a car in any parking lot,� he said. “I cannot exit the vehicle with a loaded weapon on county property.�

The concealed carry

law allows a registered gun owner with a proper license to drive through parks, county, and school property. The gun also can be kept in a vehicle, as long as it remains locked.

State’s Attorney Mike Rock said some employees could be authorized to carry a weapon. “You have to decide as a board,� he said. “This follows state statute. I don’t like the way it is written.

We can’t give employees more of a right than the state statue.�

The board voted down Kenney’s request to delay the vote for 30 days. It then approved the policy by a 15-7 vote.

Rich was one of the greatest, kind-hearted men who was ever born.

He always had a smile, a word of humor, was gentle-spirited, an all-

around, splendid husband, dad, grandpa, great-grandpa, and honorable friend to many. This world is forever changed. We all will move on and continue to find joy in life, like he did â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but life will be just a little less full of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sparkleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; without him.

Work could begin in August URGENT

He had a news conference Tuesday morning at Maxsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Riverside Restaurant to outline the repair and restoration plan.

Amy Lamb Woods, an engineer with a Chicago architectural firm, said testing and evaluations done recently show that three areas of the statue are significantly deteriorated and in dire need of repairs. Those include the folded arms, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the vertical fold in the robe from armpit to toe.

Chunks of concrete have fallen from the areas, Woods said, and others are loose and ready to fall.

Woods was among a team of experts who measured, cored, and poked the statue last fall and again this spring to determine the toll taken by time and weather. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The damage is way more than we expected,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The statue has deteriorated significantly since close-up photos were taken in 2008. Last winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cold and snow hastened the aging process.

Getting the work done is urgent, Woods said, before the statueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s surface deteriorates further.

A restoration plan she presented must be approved by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and the Illinois Historical Preservation Agency, Rausa said.

Once approved, the

repairs will include removing bushes, which are holding moisture at the base of the statue; putting up scaffolding; and removing the damaged areas.

After that, experts will create forms that duplicate the lines and curves of the statue. The arms and other damaged areas will be remolded using a mixture of materials that matches the current concrete as closely as possible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The urgency now is to put a very large restoration project in place,â&#x20AC;?

Woods said.

The process will be slow and painstaking, she said, and probably will not be completed this year.

She said she hopes the scaffolding will be in place by mid-July,

with work beginning in August.

The statue will be covered with a tent over the winter to protect it from further damage.

Woods said the statue has been patched and repaired numerous times over the years.

Ironically, epoxy injections done in 1989-1990 to repair cracks actually made the damage worse, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Epoxy is plastic,â&#x20AC;?

Woods said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It actually traps water and causes even more freeze-thaw damage.â&#x20AC;?

The epoxy will be removed and the cracks repaired, she said.

Rausa said fundraising efforts will continue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We will be seeking donations. We will be knocking on doors again,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Full term for murder charge must be served SENTENCING

CONTINUED FROM A1

After 4 days of testimony, with the defense calling no witnesses, it took the eight men and four women in the jury about an hour to convict Welling.

He will be required to serve the full term for murder, and at least 85 percent of the sentence for home invasion.

Lee County Assistant

Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Attorney Peter Buh is the prosecutor; Lee County Public Defender Bob Thompson represents Welling.

According to testimony and police investigators, Daniels answered a knock at 2 that morning and opened the door to Welling, who earlier in the night had threatened to kill another man heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d just met in an Amboy bar, over a woman he also had just met. Dan-

iels lived near that man, and in a home that looked similar.

Welling, who had 10 or so beers and several shots in about 3 hours that night, was angry and drunk, went to the wrong house and committed â&#x20AC;&#x153;a rage murder,â&#x20AC;? Buh said.

He left behind his DNA, his fingerprints, his broken flip-flops and a necklace that held a vial of his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ashes, engraved with his broth-

Marilyn was born July 10, 1931, in Polo, the daughter of George and Anna Pearl (Vance) Galor. She married Foster Yeater on May 3, 1952, in Polo. He preceded her in death on March 28, 1993. Marilyn attended the Evangelical United Brethren Church in Polo.

Survivors include one son, James (Cheryl) Yeat-

During an interview after his arrest, Welling told police he woke up the day after Daniels was killed â&#x20AC;&#x153;covered in blood.â&#x20AC;? He said he did not remember killing him.

That, his attorney argued, showed that Welling lacked the intent to kill, which he said was required for the state to prove first-degree murder.

The jury disagreed.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had so many [Facebook] hits, so many likes, so many shares ...â&#x20AC;? Cindy said excitedly.

Gaby smiled in agreement as they sat close together on the living room couch.

Gaby has â&#x20AC;&#x153;no ideaâ&#x20AC;? whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s planned, Cindy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be a big surprise when she gets to pick up her mail at the post office.â&#x20AC;?

Gaby was diagnosed with infantile spasms when she was 7 months old. The condition caused developmental delays, most notably affecting her speech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They told me she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much language, but she gets her point across,â&#x20AC;? Cindy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has a good vocabulary, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting better and better.â&#x20AC;?

Cindy said the neurologist told her that Gaby wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk until she was 3. They worked with her, and she was walking at 16 months.

Gaby is a lover, as evidenced by the huge hug,

laugh and smile she used to welcome a reporter and photographer Tuesday afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems like Gaby has no cares in the world,â&#x20AC;?

Cindy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always full of smiles. She has love for everybody.â&#x20AC;?

Cindy said she wishes everyone could be that way.

She wants to repay the gift that Gaby is by showing her how much she means to people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so glad that she was placed in my life â&#x20AC;Ś that God gave her to me, because she makes me a better person, and seeing life through her eyes,â&#x20AC;?

Cindy said.

On top of asking people to send in birthday cards, Cindy has an open invitation to join her and Gaby for lunch Sunday at Gabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite restaurant.

Every Sunday after church, Gaby picks either Angeloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s II on Lincolnway or Candlelight Inn in Rock Falls for lunch. This week, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Candlelight, Cindy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The waitresses and staff know her by name.â&#x20AC;?

Neighbors covering ambulance calls Referendum to be discussed at meeting

BY VINDE WELLS 3HAW -EDIA VWELLS SHAWMEDIA COM

Just more than a week after its privately owned ambulance service closed down, Oregonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ambulance calls continue to be answered by neighboring fire departments.

Oregon Fire Chief Don Heller said Monday that, for the time being, ambulances from other communities will answer calls in the Oregon Fire District. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any more information until after our meeting July 9,â&#x20AC;?

ORLAND PARK â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Some people walk through life wearing a cloak of fear.

Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen did not.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how the fallen soldier was described Tuesday at his funeral by U.S. Army Maj. General Jeffrey Snow. Toppen, 19, from Mokena, was killed earlier this month in Afghanistan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did Aaron know fear?

Of course he did. We all do. But he did not wear it,â&#x20AC;? Snow said.

Snow said Toppen â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who joined the U.S. Army just 2 months shy of graduating from LincolnWay East High School in 2013 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; represents â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best of men and women who serve, who answer our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call.â&#x20AC;?

Hundreds attended the young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funeral at Parkview Christian Church in Orland Park.

Thousands of others lined the route of the funeral procession as Toppen was taken to St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery in Mokena.

Toppen was among five American troops who died June 9 in southern Afghanistan from an airstrike in one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents in the war. Military officials believe the airstrike was called in after the Taliban ambushed Toppenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unit.

The teen knew from an early age he wanted to be in the Army, Senior Pastor Tim Harlow said to Toppenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family and friends at the funeral service.

LEFT: The hearse carrying Toppen stands in St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cemetery Tuesday in Monkena.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a patriotism born deep in his soul from his earliest days,â&#x20AC;? Harlow said.

Harlow recalled Toppen as a young boy riding his bike up and down the streets of Mokena as he belted out lyrics to the popular country song, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proud To Be An American.â&#x20AC;?

Family and friends who spoke at the service described Toppen as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;All-American boyâ&#x20AC;? who

loved baseball, fishing and country music, and was proud to serve his nation.

Outside the church, Dustin Cammack, spokesman for the Illinois National Guard, said several retired and current military personnel attended the funeral to honor Toppen for his services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the military, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a brotherhood, and when one of our own falls, we give them the respect

that they deserve,â&#x20AC;? Cammack said.

Cammack said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in the military for as long as Toppen has been alive. Toppen was just 6 years old when the war in Afghanistan first began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today makes me reflect personally on what I do as a service member and how dangerous what we do really is,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This young man didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time on this Earth and unfortunately he paid the ultimate price. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to honor his service and what he has given to us.â&#x20AC;?

This week will provide some indication of where a couple of proposed amendments to the Illinois Constitution may be heading.

A judge in Chicago said she will issue a ruling on whether the remap amendment and the term limit amendment meet the criteria for getting on the November ballot. Whichever side loses could appeal, but the ruling will give an indication of whether those amendments will get before voters.

In both cases, supporters are attempting to get the issues on the ballot through petitions. The other way is by having the General Assembly vote to put them there.

You can understand why supporters figured a petition drive was the only way to get amendments on the ballot to term limit lawmakers and take the drawing of political maps out of the hands of politicians as much as possible.

However, the state constitution provides for only narrow criteria for amendments that can be put before voters by petitions. Hence a lawsuit filed by people connected to the powers that be contending neither the remap amendment nor the term limit amendment meets that criteria and should be kept away from voters.

The court case has great impact for the term limit amendment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pushed by Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner â&#x20AC;&#x201C; because that proposal has enough valid signatures to get on the ballot if it survives the court challenge.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still unclear whether the remap amendment will have enough.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fret, though. Even if the two amendments are banned from the ballot, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still get a chance to vote on those meaningless advisory referendums.

2UNNING MATE IN THE NEWS Interesting week for the Rauner campaign. Or at least for his running mate, Evelyn Sanguinetti.

First, quotes surfaced where Sanguinetti talked about making decisions in Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stead. Such as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I will be able to make decisions in his stead.â&#x20AC;?

That would seem to indicate a somewhat greater lieutenant governor role than is spelled out in the constitution. Not so, the Rauner campaign said. It merely means Rauner and Sanguinetti see totally eye to eye, so Sanguinetti can accurately represent Raunerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s views in his absence.

Whatever.

That was followed quickly by a report of Sangui-

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The greatest achievement of humanity â&#x20AC;&#x201C; freedom of speech â&#x20AC;&#x201C; has served as both the source and the incentive of progress.â&#x20AC;?

LONDON | PHONE HACKING SCANDAL

IRAQ

One editor convicted, one cleared Baghdad main Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; husband, three defendants acquitted Tuesday LONDON (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; It was a simple trick â&#x20AC;&#x201C; punching in passcodes to listen to messages left on other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s phones.

For years the illegal technique, known as phone hacking, helped Britainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s News of the World tabloid get juicy stories about Stuart celebrities, Kuttner politicians and royalty.

But the f a l l o u t eventually led to the shutdown of the Cheryl countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Carter best-selling newspaper, split Rupert Murdochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s powerful media empire, and brought a storm of outrage down on the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rambunctious press.

On Tuesday, the scandal brought a criminal conviction for former editor Andy Coulson on a charge of conspiring to hack phones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and

AP

Andy Coulson (right), former News of the World editor, leaves the Central Criminal Court on Tuesday in London. Coulson was convicted of phone hacking, but fellow editor Rebekah Brooks was acquitted after a trial centering on illegal activity at the heart of Rupert Murdochâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper empire. an apology from Prime Minister David Cameron, who employed Coulson Rebekah as his spin Brooks doctor.

Fellow News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks, a Murdoch protege who was the chief executive of his British newspaper operation, was acquitted of all charges, as were her husband and three other defendants.

The nearly 8-month trial â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one of the longest and most expensive

MEDICAL

in British history â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was triggered by disclosures in 2011 about the scale of the News of the Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illegal eavesdropping.

Several reporters and editors at the tabloid have pleaded guilty to hacking, as has private investigator Glenn Mulcaire, who was paid almost 100,000 pounds (now about $168,000) a year by the paper for his scoop-gathering prowess.

Prosecutors argued that senior figures such as Brooks, who was editor from 2000 to 2003, and Coulson, who was

focus of leader

her deputy and then succeeded her, must have known about the practice, a claim both denied.

After deliberating for 7 days, a jury at Londonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Old Bailey unanimously found 46-year-old Coulson guilty of conspiring to eavesdrop on mobilephone voicemails. The charge carries a maximum 2-year jail sentence.

The jury is still considering charges against Coulson and former News of the World royal editor Clive Goodman that they paid police officers for royal phone directories.

Brooks was acquitted of plotting to hack phones and of conspiring to bribe officials and obstruct a police investigation. The jury also found former News of the World managing editor Stuart Kuttner not guilty of phone hacking.

Brooksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; husband, Charles, her former secretary Cheryl Carter and News International security chief Mark Hanna were all acquitted of conspiring to pervert the course of justice by attempting to hide files, computers and other potential evidence from police.

Parts of Tal Afar remain under militant control BAGHDAD (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is ready to concede, at least temporarily, the loss of much of Iraq to Sunni insurgents and is instead deploying the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best-trained and -equipped troops to defend Baghdad, Iraqi officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Shiite militias responding to a call to arms by Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top cleric also are focused on protecting the capital and Shiite shrines, while Kurdish fighters have grabbed a long-coveted oil-rich city outside their self-ruled territory, ostensibly to defend it from the al-Qaida breakaway group.

With each sect focused on self-interests, the situation on the ground is increasingly looking like the fractured state the Americans have hoped to avoid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are facing a new reality and a new Iraq,â&#x20AC;? the top Kurdish leader, Massoud Barzani, told U.S. Secretary of State

John Kerry on Tuesday in Irbil, capital of the selfruled Kurdish region in northern Iraq.

Two weeks after a series of disastrous battlefield setbacks in the north and west, al-Maliki is struggling to devise an effective strategy to repel the relentless advances by militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, a well-trained and mobile force thought to have some 10,000 fighters inside Iraq. The response by government forces has so far been far short of a counteroffensive, restricted mostly to areas where Shiites are in danger of falling prey to the Sunni extremists or around a major Shiite shrine north of Baghdad.

These weaknesses were highlighted when the government tried but failed to retake Tal Afar, a mixed Shiite-Sunni city of some 200,000 that sits strategically near the Syrian border. The government claimed it had retaken parts of the city but the area remains under the control of the militants after a battle in which some 30 volunteers and troops were killed.

3-D mammogram Elgin man trains â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Medievalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stallions about year scans might expose Takes to get the horses more breast cancer ready to perform Study involved almost half a million images CHICAGO (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 3-D mammograms might be better at finding cancer than regular scans, a large study suggests, although whether that means saving more lives isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t known.

The study involved almost half a million breast scans, with more than one-third of them using relatively new 3-D imaging along with conventional scans. The rest used regular mammograms alone.

The 3-D scan combo detected one additional cancer per 1,000 scans, compared with conventional digital mammograms. There were also 15 percent fewer false alarms â&#x20AC;&#x201C; meaning fewer initially suspicious scan results that additional testing showed wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cancer.

But the study wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t designed to determine whether the combined 3-D scans resulted in better long-term outcomes, and the procedure studied has drawbacks including higher costs, less insurance coverage and more radiation, depending on the machine.

Still, the researchers say their results are promising and confirm benefits found in smaller, less diverse studies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The technology finds more invasive cancers earlier when they are easiest to treat and reduces unnecessary recalls for false alarms,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Donna Plecha, a coauthor and director of breast imaging at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland.

Dr. Sarah Friedewald, the lead author and a radiologist at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital in Park Ridge, Illinois, said 3-D scans take only a few seconds longer and that patients notice no difference. She said she offers 3-D scans to all her patients.

The study was published Tuesday in the Journal

of the American Medical Association.

Standard mammograms typically take one image of each breast from two positions, while 3-D scans take several images of different layers of each breast. That allows for the detection of tumors that might be hidden under breast tissue and not noticeable on regular images, said Jim Culley, a spokesman for Hologic, which makes mammogram machines, including the combo ones used in the study that take both kinds.

The combined system costs up to $450,000, or as much as two times more than conventional mammogram machines, according to pricing information provided by MD Buyline, a technology research firm. 3-D scans also are less likely to be covered by insurance.

Hologic helped pay for the study and several authors including Plecha and Friedewald are Hologic consultants and members of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scientific advisory board.

HOFFMAN ESTATES (AP) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Mario Contreras is a classic type â&#x20AC;&#x153;Aâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; personality.

As head horse trainer at Medieval Times in Hoffman Estates, the 42-year-old Elgin resident often works a 7-day week. In his spare time, he operates his own training facility at Indian Hills Farm in Gilberts, where he trains horses and riders for competition and exhibition.

Growing up in Guadalajara, Mexico, Contrerasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; father worked with Andalusian stallions and performed shows throughout Mexico to promote a brandy company.

While on vacation in the United States in 1990, Contreras visited his brother, who was the horse trainer at Medieval Times in California.

With some convincing from his brother, Mario began his new career.

Contreras has worked for Medieval Times for the last 23 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started from scratch,â&#x20AC;? Contreras said.

Mario Contreras, the head horse trainer for Medieval Times in Hoffman Estates, trains an Andalusian stallion May 5 at his training center in Gilberts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really like what I do, and I always try to pass it along to the people who work for me.â&#x20AC;?

Contreras gets his Andalusian stallions from a breeding farm in Texas that is owned

by Medieval Times. The breed makes up the majority of the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Andalusians were actually used in the Medieval times,â&#x20AC;? Contreras said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are not just beautiful, but very athletic.â&#x20AC;?

It takes about a year to get the horses ready for the show.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;We start with very basic stuff,â&#x20AC;? Contreras said.

Little by little, the horses become more willing to perform and less nervous during the show.

Contrerasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; training is a mix of three disciplines: Classical Dressage, high school maneuvers and Doma Vaquera.

In his free time, he runs a business training student riders. He also has a team of eight riders who compete in horse shows across the country.

Contreras was awarded Horseman of the Year in 2011 from the Interna-

tional Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association, and he participated in the opening ceremonies at the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the biggest thing Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done,â&#x20AC;?

Contreras said.

Competition has helped Contreras with his job at Medieval Times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That has helped me become a better coach with my people at Medieval Times and improve our training programs,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Woman puzzled by guy who refuses to get naked Dear Abby: I met a guy 4 months ago. Our relationship is new and pretty casual for the most part.

We like each other’s company and spend nights together, but when we’re intimate, he keeps his clothes on – boxers and all. He is only 26, but he has told me about past relationships, so I know he has had experience.

Over the past 2 years, he has lost almost 100 pounds. He looks great now – healthy and toned.

I have seen him get in and out of the shower. (I noticed a little excess skin on his stomach, but not

him. I just would like him to be comfortable with me. Should I address this with him, and if so, how?

Or should I just leave it be for now?

I don’t feel comfortable taking my own clothes off when he doesn’t.

This isn’t exactly a deal-breaker for me, as I obviously am attracted to

Dear Awkward: It’s apparent that he still has body issues having to do with his extreme weight loss. If you know him well enough to spend nights at his house, you should be able to communicate with him about sex on a mature level and tell him the experience would be more satisfying for you

if there was less between you when you are in his arms.

Dear Abby: My fiancée and I work full time. We are trying to save for our wedding and a deposit for a house. The trouble is, after paying rent, bills and day-to-day expenses, we are left with next to nothing.

I played poker when I was in college, which generated a nice income during my late teens and early 20s. A few months back, I decided to pick it up again and found a group of people who like

to play. Since then, I have been playing 4 hours two or three nights a week, and it has generated an extra monthly income of $1,000 to $1,500. Our finances have improved a lot.

There are nights my fiancée wants me to stay home. She says if I had a part-time job, she would understand why I couldn’t stay home on the days she asked. But to me, poker IS a part-time job, and it pays more than anything else I could find in this area. I play the same set schedule every week, so she should know what nights I need to

When life hands you lemons ...

Preserve them, use for more than lemonade

I

BY DANIEL NEMAN MCT News Service

f you close your eyes, you can imagine you are wending your way through the crowded streets of the casbah, with the camels and the open-air markets and the heady aroma of tagines cooking over charcoal fires.

A bite of preserved lemon can do that to you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; transport you to a land you have never seen or perhaps back to a land you once called home. It is the secret ingredient to cooking throughout North Africa but is especially associated with Morocco. Along with couscous, it is one of the foods that define the entire region.

Preserved lemons are ingredients that, the first time you try them, you ask, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What is that taste?â&#x20AC;?

They are definitely like lemons, but they have been wonderfully intensified. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re like a SuperLemons.

Preserved lemons are readily available at Middle Eastern groceries, international groceries and specialty stores, but why buy them when you can make them yourself?

You just need lemons, salt and patience.

Patience, because it takes a month for the salt to work its magic on the lemons. But during those 4 weeks, your anticipation builds. You think about the taste that will await you when the lemons are ready, you start planning how to use them. You might even start to think that you are building them up too much in your mind.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about it.

Preserved lemons exceed your expectations.

Preserved lemons create strong pops of flavor anywhere they are added; they are the ultimate condiment, in that they work as an accent in support of the main part of the dish.

They also are incredibly versatile. Their skin can be used to add zip to hummus (typically, only the skin is used; the pulp is usually discarded). They could add an unforeseen element to grilled vegetables, or be included in a stunning vinaigrette.

They can add zest, as it were, to a salad or even be used in dessert, as we shall see. Some local restaurants offer them on pizzas.

But if there is one dish to which preserved lemons are forever connected, it is chicken tagine from Morocco.

Traditionally, tagine (the food) is cooked in a tagine, an earthenware pot shaped like an upside-down funnel.

The tagine pot is said to produce the best flavor in a tagine, but they can be pricey and have few or no other uses.

In their place, you can use a heavy skillet with a lid or even a shallow casserole dish that is suitable for the top of a stove.

A chicken tagine is basically a stew, with the most tender and delicious meat. What makes it a tagine are the spices: garlic, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric and cilantro, all cooked over a bed of thinly sliced red onions.

MCT News Service

Preserved lemons create strong pops of flavor anywhere they are added. Making them yourself isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hard. You just need lemons, salt and patience. It takes a month for the salt to work its magic on the lemons.

All it needs are a couple of elements to provide a profile-altering counterpoint. A couple of handfuls of purple olives add salt and visual appeal, while the preserved lemons yield delicious bursts of piquant lemon flavor.

Preserved lemons are also a natural accompaniment to many seafood dishes. If regular lemons go well with seafood, as we know they do, preserved lemons can only be better.

With that more or less logical idea in mind, I decided to create a dish that would bring out the best in shrimp, as well as preserved lemons.

I turned to some old favorites that always help shrimp find its potential: garlic, of course, and white wine, with just a bit of tomato for depth. And then I brought out the big gun, but just a little of it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Old Bay (or any similar seafood seasoning) helps shrimp taste the way shrimp are supposed to taste. And then I added the preserved lemons.

It was seriously good, with a clean, unsullied taste.

For dessert, I was blown away by the idea of a food websiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s astonishing idea. It used preserved lemons in a semifreddo and cooled down the tartness with a basil simple syrup.

A semifreddo is a soft but frozen dessert, sort of like a frozen mousse, if the mousse were partly made of ice cream. Adding preserved lemons to

it is genius.

To make a semifreddo, you make whipped cream (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homemade) and add it to whipped egg whites, and then you gently fold in a flavoring. In this case, the flavoring comes from a little lemon zest and a preserved lemon.

If you wanted a fuller flavor, you could use the juice from the pulp as well as the skin. I was looking for subtlety in my semifreddo, so I went with the skin alone.

It was like eating a lemony cloud.

Chicken Tagine with Preserved Lemon Yield: 4 servings 1 teaspoon saffron threads 3 garlic cloves, minced 1½ teaspoons salt, divided 1 (3½-pound) chicken, cut into quarters 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 medium red onions, sliced lengthwise 2 teaspoons ground ginger 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground turmeric 1 teaspoon lime juice 4 tablespoons chopped cilantro, divided ½ teaspoon black pepper 2 preserved lemons ½ cup purple Moroccan or Greek olives 1.

fragrant, about 1 minute.

Transfer to a small dish, let cool, then crumble with fingers.

2. With a mortar and pestle, mash chopped garlic and ½ teaspoon salt to a paste.

3. In a large bowl, toss chicken with oil, onions, ginger, cinnamon, tur-

meric, lime juice, 3 tablespoons of the cilantro, the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and reserved saffron.

4. Separate the chicken from the onions and spread the spiced onions across the bottom of a 12-inch tagine, 12-inch heavy, covered skillet or a shal-

low, covered casserole.

Place the chicken on top.

Cut the preserved lemons into quarters and scrape the pulp from the peel.

Coarsely chop the pulp and sprinkle over the chicken.

Cut the peel into ½-inch pieces, and reserve.

o you know how much you weigh? According to recent statistics, there is a good chance that you are heavier than what is healthy.

In the past 30 years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity has grown tremendously.

The Centers for Disease Control reports the percentage of adults in the United States who are overweight is 69 percent.

Along with our growing waistlines comes a growth in related diseases. Diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are just a few of them. Being overweight also puts you at higher risk for arthritis, asthma, and some cancers.

What is the right weight for you? Two important measurements that can help you to determine your healthy weight are your body mass index (BMI) and your waist size.

BMI estimates how much you should weigh based on your height.

BMIs are grouped into the following categories:

BEYONDTRIM 3HERRY $E7ALT IS A COMMUNITY HEALTH EDUCATOR AT #'( -EDICAL #ENTER IN 3TERLING 2EACH HER AT 3$E7AL CGHMC COM

s Less than 18.5: Underweight s Between 18.5 and 24.9: Recommended s Between 25.0 and 29.9: Overweight s 30 or higher: Obese Calculating your BMI is a three-step equation: 1) Multiply your weight in pounds by 703. 2) Divide that answer by your height in inches.

3) Divide that answer by your height in inches again. For example, a woman who weighs 270 pounds and is 5-foot-8 (68 inches) has a BMI of 41.0.

BMI is not a perfect tool for determining a healthy weight. People with a great deal of muscle and little fat will tend to have higher BMIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s than those of us with more fat tissue. But unless you are a professional bodybuilder or

other athlete, chances are, your BMI is a telling indicator.

So, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve calculated your BMI and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normal. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not out of the woods yet. The next step is to measure your waist.

Studies have shown that people who carry extra weight around their abdomen have an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and death, even if they have a normal BMI. In fact, the Nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Health Study of over 44,000 women showed that women with the largest waists had nearly double the risk of dying from heart disease and a similarly higher risk of death from cancer or any other cause.

For men, a healthy waist size is less than 40 inches. For women it is less than 35 inches.

To measure your waist, place the measuring tape just above the hip bones and measure after exhaling.

Your weight does matter. Make an effort to keep it in check by watching what you eat and getting regular physical activity.

Wraps make great summertime meals Recipe can be doubled for bigger appetites

BY RENEE ENNA MCT News Service

W

raps make great summertime meals; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re easy to execute and so refreshing when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot outside. And even finicky kids usually like them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; maybe even enough to help you make dinner.

This recipe makes four large wraps, but the recipe is easy enough to double, if bigger appetites need more.

That said, though, a hearty serving of coleslaw or fruit salad, or even pineapple slices or melon wedges, will complement the wraps nicely.

A few notes on the ingredients: We had no trouble finding Greek yogurt with honey, and like the way it adds a touch of sweetness to its surroundings. Obviously, you can also add honey (about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon) to plain yogurt. Likewise, we love tarragon, but persnickety palates

MCT News Service

Wraps, such as this chicken version, are quick, easy and perfect for summer. Plus, most kids, including finicky ones, like them. may prefer milder basil or mint. And a half-cup of dried cranberries could substitute for the apple.

Finally, you can make this recipe easier by buying packaged grilled chicken or turkey strips.

Or harder: Fry your own bacon instead of buying bacon bits. Bowing to

summer, though, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to cook any longer than I have to, and the small amount needed makes this convenience product perfect for the purposes here.

Get the idea? Wraps are tailor-made for exploiting whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at hand, and that includes your imagination.

James Carville, a political commentator, said, “The best time to plant an oak tree was 25 years ago. The second best time is today.”

In yesterday’s deal, East used the bidding and early play to place the missing high cards and to work out the best defense against four hearts.

Here is a second deal along the same lines. South is in four hearts. West leads the spade queen. South wins with his ace and plays a trump to dummy’s queen.

What should East do?

South rebid three no-trump because North might have raised hearts with only threecard support if he had a minimum opening bid with, for example, 1-3-5-4 distribu-

tion. Here, though, North corrected to the heart game because he had two unstopped suits and four strong hearts.

East should wonder which four tricks his side might win.

Since West’s opening lead marks South with the spade ace and king, there are no spade winners available. East has one heart trick. There are no diamond winners, because even if South is missing the king, the finesse is working. So the defenders need three club tricks, or two clubs and a club ruff.

This should make East’s path clear. He must win with his heart ace and shift to the club five.

Now the spotlight falls on South. If he rises with his club king, he will make the contract (with an overtrick if he draws trumps, cashes his spade and diamond winners, and endplays West with his club queen). But if South finesses his jack, West wins with his queen, returns the club two and receives a club ruff for down one. © 2014 UFS

OREGON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The annual Mix-It-Up sidewalkpainting event saw 55 squares painted Saturday at Mix Park.

Julie Reckamp, who does publicity for the event, said many of the squares were painted by families and groups. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I love about MixIt-Up is the meshing of conversation, art, great food and the outdoors,â&#x20AC;? said Reckamp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love walking around and talking with the participants and watching them work. This year, we had live music, too, which added a lot.â&#x20AC;?

Dave and Amber Coffey of Epic Acoustic donated their time to perform at the event.

Each square had a unique take on art. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are a lot of different approaches to painting squares,â&#x20AC;? said Reckamp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some individuals sketch out their idea ahead of time, pencil it on the square and then paint. Some just grab their kit and begin painting.â&#x20AC;?

Some of the artists painting the squares brought their own supplies, in addition to the ones provided by the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There really is no one approach, which is great about the event,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While the end product can be fun to look at, it is really more about the process of creating art and having a great time.

We just want everyone to have fun.â&#x20AC;?

Reckamp noticed the

Currier family, which had an abstract twist to painting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were two kids who just wanted to squirt out all of their paint and smear it together,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were having a great time.â&#x20AC;?

A warm, sunny day helped with the attendance.

Reckamp said 27 squares were sold on the day of the event. The others were pre-registered for, with the proceeds funding the Mix It Up/Fields Project Scholarship Program for students pursuing a career in art or agriculture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of those might have stayed home, if the weather had been bad,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, it poured right as the event was beginning, washing away the white base coat.

It made for some messy painting. Although a lot of participants stuck around to paint, a dry pavement is a much better surface to work with.â&#x20AC;?

Reckamp works with Maja Shoemaker, who organizes the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shoemaker is the driving force behind this event,â&#x20AC;? said Reckamp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She does a ton of work to pull this off.â&#x20AC;?

Class concerns

IHSA rule draws different reactions from locals

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

Public schools that have been continually eliminated from the postseason by non-boundaried schools will have to wait another year before new rules could shift highly-successful programs up a class or two.

On June 16, the Illinois High School Association announced it would push back the start date for its new rules dealing with postseason class placement, to the 2015-16 season.

In February of this year, the IHSA responded to feedback from schools – mostly public – searching for a change in the current playoff format.

“It’s just about the competition between public and private schools,” said Greg King, Sterling’s athletic director. “You want it level. Even in sports besides football, open

enrollment schools have dominated.”

The new rules changes implemented a “success factor.” The success factor moves teams to a higher class than their enrollment classification, if that team had extended success in the postseason.

The plan was for the changes to take place this fall during the 2014-15 school year, but confusion about the rules, the short time from presentation to taking effect, and another look at what was actually being implemented, pushed back the changes another year.

“I think it’s something that needs to be looked at,” King said. “Like anything, you don’t want to implement something unless you are sure you got it right.”

The rules say that schools would be moved up one class if the team had won two trophies at state over a 4-year span.

CLASS CONTINUED ON B3

New waiver eligibility rules s ! PRIVATE SCHOOL WILL GAIN ONE POINT FOR A regional title, and two points for a sectional title. A school that wins both a regional and a sectional in the same year will earn only two points. s 3CHOOLS WHO EARN FOUR POINTS OR MORE IN a 4-year span, or qualify for the state finals once in that time frame, will not be eligible for a waiver. s )N FOOTBALL WINNING A FIRST ROUND PLAYOFF game will continue to be the threshold for determining waiver eligibility. s 3UCCESS FACTOR RULE WILL NOT START UNTIL THE 2015-16 school year.

Note: When a private school qualifies for waiver eligibility, its enrollment will not be subject to the 1.65 multiplier, and will compete in a class that matches with its actual enrollment.

t’s not that Jeff Samardzija would turn down $85 million from the Cubs, it’s why would the Cubs offer him even that much?

As an employee for the company that holds a 5 percent stake in the Chicago National League Ball Club, I need to know how stupid the Cubs are becoming with pitching contracts.

Isn’t the Edwin Jackson disaster enough? I mean, $52 million makes Jackson the Carlos Boozer of the mound.

Samardzija will be 30 next season, when the Cubs will continue to stink. Why would you spend that kind of money on a player, even a pitcher, when you’re going to stink?

Why would you offer any kind of cash that he might accept and still would be collecting when he’s 34, and when maybe the Cubs are good? Maybe.

Samardzija ought to ask for as much as he can get.

That’s his job. That’s what pro sports is all about.

We’d all do it, and the Cubs are lucky Samardzija isn’t all about hometown discounts.

For a team that acts like it’s broke and can’t afford to buy a bison dog without revenue from a video screen, Epstein’s latest offer could’ve made a mess of things.

Searching for new kingdom James opts out of last 2 years of contract with Miami

BY TIM REYNOLDS AP Sports Writer

MIAMI – LeBron James delivered his message loud and clear, without actually saying a word.

He’s willing to leave Miami, if that’s what it will take to win more championships. And what happens next will likely be up to not just the Heat, but Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh as well.

Through his agent, James informed the Heat on Tuesday that he has decided to opt out of the final 2 years of his contract, a move that means he becomes a free agent on July 1.

He will be able to sign with any team, including Miami, and

“We look forward to sitting down with LeBron and his

representatives and talking about our future together,” Riley said.

The Heat have been preparing for this for some time.

James, Wade and Bosh all got 6-year contracts when they teamed up in Miami in July 2010, the last time free agency was accompanied by the sort of frenzy that will envelop the league over the next few weeks.

two constants in the offseason program.

Left guard Matt Slauson has been sidelined since last season, as he recovers from shoulder surgery, and the right side, guard Kyle Long and tackle Jordan Mills, were held out for part of the mandatory minicamp due to precautionary reasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the name of the game,â&#x20AC;? said Bushrod, who has made every start since Week 11 of the 2009 season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a brutal sport that we play. You might have all five guys one day, and then the next day someone goes down â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like I did last year with a strained calf â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and somebody else has to jump in and fulfill that job.â&#x20AC;?

Bushrod said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;if we can get lucky enoughâ&#x20AC;? to keep all five guys healthy for a second consecutive season, â&#x20AC;&#x153;that would be awesome.â&#x20AC;?

He played on some talented and durable units under offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer in New Orleans, noting the value of gaining that familiarity with teammates in practice every day.

With the cohesion along the offensive line and added competition on the defensive side of the ball, Bushrod believes the sky is the limit for an offense that continues to grow and gain recognition around the league.

More importantly, the unit has gained the trust of quarterback Cutler, a confidence and comfort level that Cutler lacked before Bushrodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arrival last offseason.

LONDON â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chasing a shot to his right, Rafael Nadal slipped and tumbled to the Centre Court turf.

He popped up, raced across the baseline to get back into the point, and later capped the 14-stroke exchange with a backhand passing winner.

The reason for the two-time Wimbledon championâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent inability to play well on grass remains something of a mystery.

As far as Nadal was concerned Tuesday, all that mattered was that he dusted himself off and eventually ended a three-match â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and seven-set â&#x20AC;&#x201C; losing streak on the slick surface.

Overcoming a deficit against a flathitting opponent, who kept finding lines early, Nadal beat 51st-ranked Martin Klizan 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 to reach the second round.

Nadalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reaction afterward â&#x20AC;&#x201C; pumping fists, raising arms aloft, tossing souvenirs to the crowd â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was rather over-the-top for a guy who owns 14 Grand Slam titles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So happy for the victory. In the end, the match was difficult. After the first set, [it] was even more difficult,â&#x20AC;? said the Spaniard, who is ranked No. 1 and seeded No. 2, but approached this openinground encounter with some trepidation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you go on court and you lost last year in the first round, the year before in the second round ... [Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not] going to lie ... it stays in your mind.â&#x20AC;?

Next for Nadal is a match against the man who beat him in 2012â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second round, Lukas Rosol. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is a very dangerous player; very strong, very powerful at the baseline,â&#x20AC;? Nadal said.

Other past champions in action on Day 2 advanced, too, including Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, all in straight sets.

Last year, when everything around these parts was turned upside down by surprise after surprise, that trio joined Nadal with early exits; Williams was the last of the group standing, and she departed in the fourth round.

Williams needed to cast aside four break points during a 10-minute first game Tuesday, but after getting that out of the way, breezed to a 6-1, 6-2 win against Anna Tatishvili. Sharapova lost all of one game against British wildcard entry Samantha Murray.

Seven-time champion Federerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 victory dropped Italyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paolo Lorenzi to 0-13 for his Grand Slam career, while 2002 champion Lleyton Hewitt eliminated Michal Przysiezny 6-2, 6-7 (14), 6-1, 6-4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is what I still play for,â&#x20AC;? said the 33-year-old Hewitt, a former

Rafael Nadal plays a return to Martin Klizan during their match at Wimbledon. Nadal broke a seven-set losing streak at the tournament by beating Klizan.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get sick of coming out here and playing at Wimbledon.â&#x20AC;?

One seeded man who lost was No. 29 Ivo Karlovic, beaten by Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frank Dancevic 6-4, 7-6 (5), 7-6 (4).

Seeded women on the way out were No. 7 Jelena Jankovic, the 2008 U.S. Open runner-up; No. 28 Svetlana Kuznetsova, a twotime major champion who lost to Michelle Larcher de Brito 3-6, 6-3, 6-1; and No. 29 Sorana Cirstea, who was beaten 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 by 18-year-old qualifier Vicky Duval of the United States.

Another U.S. teenager, wild-card

entry Taylor Townsend, lost to No. 31 Klara Koukalova 7-5, 6-2, but otherwise there was a strong showing by Americans. No. 9 John Isner, Sam Querrey, Jack Sock, Denis Kudla, Madison Keys and Varvara Lepchenko advanced.

For Nadal, everything comes so easily on red clay, and he just added his record ninth trophy at the French Open. But he says grass is a lot tougher on his knees, which have bothered him off and on for years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I am playing on clay, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to think a lot about what I have to do,â&#x20AC;? Nadal said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, you need to adjust the movement. You need to adjust the rhythm. You need to find the right feeling on the speed of the ball.â&#x20AC;?

Still, Nadal used to be fine on the green stuff.

He played for the title on five consecutive trips to Wimbledon from 2006-11, winning the championship in 2008 and 2010 (he missed the tournament in 2009 because of a knee injury).

But in 2012, he lost to then-100thranked Rosol. Last year, Nadal exited in the first round against 135th-ranked Steve Darcis. And this month, Nadal lost his opening match at a grass-court tuneup in Halle, Germany, to 65th-ranked Dustin Brown.

Newman could get bumped up classes in football CLASS

CONTINUED FROM B1

The team would be moved up two classes from their enrollment classification if the school participated in three championship games over 4 years, and the jump would be three classes if they participate in four championship games in 4 years.

The catch is that one of the trophies must be won in the last two school years in order to be bumped up. Schools would move down one class each year if they stop earning trophies, until they reach their proper enrollment classification. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Board believes that the changes approved to Policy 17 in February will help maintain competitive balance in the state,â&#x20AC;? said Dan Klett in an IHSA bulletin.

Klett is the Wauconda High School Principal and IHSA Board President.

There are two basic views on theses rules, and their thought process is this: Public schools believe that private â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or nonboundaried â&#x20AC;&#x201C; schools need to be more handicapped, while private schools believe that they are already being handicapped with the multiplier system.

The way private schools are placed into a class for the postseason, is their enrollment is multiplied by 1.65, and that new number is what is used

to place schools. The multiplier is only used to teams that achieved certain levels of postseason success.

The consensus was that private schools have been dominating aspects of the postseason, and too often without proper competition.

One area school that will likely feel the effects of these changes is Newman. The Comets have seen a lot of success in the football postseason.

For instance, if Newman were to win a trophy at state in this upcoming seasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playoffs, it would be the Cometsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third such trophy in the past four seasons. Newman won the state title in the 2010 season and again last season.

The Comets would then be forced to move up a class during the 2015-16 season and compete in 3A instead of 2A, because they would have had two trophies in the past 2 years.

Newman will have an actual enrollment of 240 for the 201415 school year. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s multiplied enrollment is 396. Every fourclass sport will be multiplied this upcoming year except softball, which will remain in 1A. Boys basketball, girls basketball, volleyball and baseball will all play in 2A. Other private schools and football powerhouses such as Montini and Joliet Catholic who have had extended success, would also move up because of their success in the state playoffs. Montini played for its fifth straight 5A state football

championship last fall, but lost 38-28 to another private school, Sacred Heart-Griffin.

Montini would be bumped up three classes from 5A to 8A, because of their continued dominance under the rules.

Of the schools that own the most state football titles, private schools sit atop the list. Joliet Catholic leads with 13, Mt. Carmel, which won last season, is next with 12 while Providence (9) and Driscoll (8) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is closed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; round out the top 4.

The IHSA and most public schools believe the new rules are necessary, though there has been pushback from private schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ridiculous,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Papoccia, Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could potentially be moved up two classes. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the numbers, size or speed that these bigger schools have. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they want to see somebody get hurt, then this is the way to go.â&#x20AC;?

Papoccia served on the committee which voted on the adoption of the new rules, and voted in favor of moving teams to higher classes based on performance, but doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like the rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I voted yes, partially to keep the boundary schools from complaining as much,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They [public schools] just need to find a reason why they are not winning as much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel our kids work hard, if not harder, than most schools.

They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come here for just football, they jell together

for their faith. They come for faith, not football, and they come from the catholic feeder schools. If they think someone is cheating, turn them in.â&#x20AC;?

But public schools who have run into a gauntlet in the form of a stacked private school during the postseason, such as Sterling, which lost to Montini during the 2011 playoffs, are largely in favor of the new rules. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would definitely love it,â&#x20AC;?

King said.

For public schools like Sterling, which compete in Class 5A in football, King loves the idea of successful teams moving up classes to face teams of similar competition level. The Golden Warriors were eliminated from the Class 5A playoffs in the second round by Montini, the eventual champions during that season.

The 2010 Warriors lost to Joliet Catholic 49-7. â&#x20AC;&#x153;5A is brutal, dealing with as many private schools that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re dealing with,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Montini, Joliet Catholic, those schools are getting the best players in a 30-mile radius, and they should play against the best of the best.â&#x20AC;?

Sterling was knocked out of the playoffs during the 2009 season by Washington, a public school. Even though the result was the same against Montini, the loss to Washington didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt as much. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That one was a bit easier to swallow,â&#x20AC;? King said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You are playing against similar kids, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how it should be.â&#x20AC;?

Cavs on clock, again Cleveland picking No. 1 for third time in last 4 years

BY TOM WITHERS !0 3PORTS 7RITER

CLEVELAND â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Cavaliers have had plenty of practice picking first in the NBA draft.

That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten better at it.

For the second straight year, third time in 4 years, and fourth time since 2003 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when they selected a high school phenom named LeBron James â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Cavs own the No. 1 overall selection.

On Thursday night, the Cavs, who only chose new coach David Blatt last week, will once again be the first team on the clock.

Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky. Now, they need to be good.

Cleveland is expected to select either Duke forward Jabari Parker or Kansas forward Andrew Wiggins, considered a pair of canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;tmiss prospects who could help push the Cavs back to respectability.

Either of them could also make their roster more appealing in case James, who opted out of his Miami Heat contract on Tuesday, is thinking about bringing his talents back to his native Ohio after 4 years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and four straight trips to the finals.

Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to hit the freeagent market has Cleveland, and nearly every other NBA team, reevaluating draft plans. The Cavs are in an interesting predicament: They could overhaul their roster by trading star guard Kyrie Irving, or another starter or two to create salary-cap space for James and to possibly land another All-Star, but then risk having James break their

Parker seems to be the most safe the Jayhawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; system. But Wiggins had a tendency to disappear in big pick for the Cavs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NBA ready on the offensive games.

Top 10 picks

Future uncertain for James, Heat KINGDOM

CONTINUED FROM B1

James â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who averaged 27.1 points this past season â&#x20AC;&#x201C; was owed $42.7 million for the next two seasons, though that seems irrelevant in the sense that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be getting plenty of money from the Heat or someone else for years to come.

If he stays with Miami, he could sign a deal that would give the team room to maneuver within the structures of the salary cap and luxury-tax threshold.

So could Wade and Bosh, if they choose to opt out as well â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and if both do, Miami would potentially have plenty of cash to spend on roster upgrades. Neither has announced their plans, though both have previously said they want to remain in Miami. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No news here yet,â&#x20AC;?

Wade said Tuesday.

James stayed silent as well, with agent Rich

Paul being the one who informed the Heat of the four-time NBA MVPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan.

But last week, while still dealing with the sting of losing the NBA Finals to San Antonio, James expressed how enticing the idea of flexibility is to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being able to have flexibility as a professional, anyone, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we all would like,â&#x20AC;? James said last week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in any sport, for a football player, a baseball player, a basketball player, to have flexibility and be able to control your future or your present. I have a position to be able to do that. ... Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of times that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in control of your future as a professional.â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in control now. He turns 30 next season. He might just be entering his prime.

James said last week that he, Wade and Bosh owed it to one another to have a conversation before deciding where to play going forward. It is

unclear if those discussions have taken place.

And while James opting out was largely expected, the ripple effect of the move was seen all over the sports world.

The NFL, on its Twitter account, posted a photo of James dunking a football over the crossbar at the stadium his beloved Dallas Cowboys call home, light-heartedly asking him if he wanted to pass some time in a training camp while making his decision. And U.S. Soccer, also in a tweet, said it has a new team for him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then attached a photo of a menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s national team jersey bearing Jamesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; name and No. 6.

Even hockey got into the act. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be 6-10 on skates,â&#x20AC;? someone posted to the Carolina Hurricanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Twitter account, in a message to James.

For now, all that seems certain is James sticking to basketball. What team, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now up for debate.

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with the Heat four seasons, been to the NBA Finals in each of those years, winning two championships and winning more games than any other team over that span.

He seems to have largely recovered from the hit his image took when he left Cleveland for Miami in 2010, often saying heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much happier now as a person than he was then.

Plus, his life has changed. He married longtime girlfriend Savannah Brinson last year, and the couple is expecting their third child. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Players have a right to free agency and when they have these opportunities, the right to explore their options,â&#x20AC;? Riley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The last four seasons have been historic, and LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and Erik Spoelstra have led the Miami Heat to one of the most unprecedented runs in the history of the NBA.â&#x20AC;?

The Oriolesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Chris Davis upends White Sox second baseman Gordan Beckham during the ninth inning of Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game in Baltimore. The White Sox won 4-2 to end a five-game losing streak.

White Sox snap five-game skid Arrieta strong again for Cubs By the Associated Press

Jose Quintana allowed one run in seven innings, Gordon Beckham homered and the White Sox beat the Orioles 4-2 on Tuesday in Baltimore to end a five-game losing streak.

Alexei Ramirez had two hits and scored twice for the last-place White Sox, who had lost nine of 11 overall and eight straight on the road.

Quintana (4-7) gave up six hits â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a solo homer by Steve Pearce â&#x20AC;&#x201C; struck out eight and walked three. The lefthander was 0-3 in four starts since May 26.

One night after blowing a ninth-inning lead in the series opener, White Sox closer Ronald Belisario entered in the ninth with no outs and a runner on first. He allowed a pinch-hit RBI single to Delmon Young, before getting pinch-hitter Ryan Flaherty to bounce into a double play â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth of the game.

Belisarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth save sealed a much-needed win for the White Sox, whose five-game skid dropped them a seasonhigh seven games under .500.

Cubs 7, Reds 3: Jake Arrieta retired his first 18 batters and struck out nine in seven impressive innings, leading the Cubs to a victory over the Reds at Wrigley Field.

Arrieta (4-1) was working on a perfect game before rookie Billy Hamilton started the seventh with a single up the middle. The right-hander allowed two runs and three hits while improving to 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA in five June starts.

Welington Castillo drove in two runs, including a sacrifice fly in Chicagoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s three-run eighth.

Devin Mesoraco homered for the fifth straight game for Cincinnati, matching a franchise record. Mesoracoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 14th homer came with one out in the ninth against Neil Ramirez.

Rockies 10, Cardinals 5: Justin Morneau hit a

three-run homer in Denver and drove in six runs, as the Rockies snapped a seven-game losing streak.

Jorge De La Rosa (7-6) allowed five runs, four earned, in seven innings.

He is the first Rockies starter to earn a win since June 12.

Nick Greenwood (1-1) pitched 1 2/3 innings in relief of starter Shelby Miller, who left in the third with back tightness. Greenwood surrendered Morneauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homer on a hanging slider in the fourth.

Morneau had an RBI single in the first and a tworun single in the seventh that gave Colorado some breathing room.

The Rockies finished with 17 hits one night after managing just three when they were shut out at home for the first time in nearly a year.

Captain Diego Godin scored in the 81st minute as Uruguay edged 10-man Italy 1-0 Tuesday to reach the second round of the World Cup, a victory overshadowed by a biting incident involving Luis Suarez.

Godin rose above a crowd of defenders to meet a corner with his left shoulder and veteran goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon had no chance.

Moments earlier, replays showed Suarez apparently bite the shoulder of Italy defender Giorgio Chiellini, as the pair clashed in the Italian penalty area.

Suarez was already sanctioned with a heavy ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic in the English Premier League in 2013, and FIFA can sanction players for biting with bans of up to 2 years.

It was only one of many ugly incidents in a highly physical â&#x20AC;&#x153;in or outâ&#x20AC;? match at the Arena das Dunas.

Marchisio was shown a direct red card for putting his boot into Egidio Arevaloâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knee in the 59th.

Also, Mario Balotelli picked up his second yellow card in two matches for a dangerous foul during the first half, and was benched for the second period.

Costa Rica 0, England 0: Costa Rica finished first in what many considered the World Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s toughest group after a dour, scoreless draw against England.

Costa Rica only needed a draw to top Group D and played that way, setting up in a defensive 5-3-2 formation.

The result gives Costa Rica its best World Cup performance, winning a group that contained former three world champions.

England lost its first two matches to Italy and Uruguay.

Greece 2, Ivory Coast 1: Georgios Samaras scored an injury-time penalty to send Greece into the second round of the World Cup for the first time, eliminating Ivory Coast in the process.

Samaras was adjudged to have been tripped in the area by substitute Giovanni Sio, and calmly

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES | VIRGINIA 7, VANDERBILT 2

Cavaliers force decisive Game 3 Waddell pitches complete game as Virginia evens series at one

BY ERIC OLSON !0 3PORTS 7RITER

AP

Vanderbilt third baseman Tyler Campbell collides with Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mike Papi on Tuesday, as he tags out Papi in the ninth inning of Game 2 of the College World Series finals in Omaha, Neb. Virginia won 7-2 to force a decisive third game today.

OMAHA, Neb. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Brandon Waddell limited Vanderbilt to five hits in his first nine-inning complete game, Virginia knocked out first-round draft pick Tyler Beede in the seventh, and the Cavaliers evened the College World Series finals with a 7-2 victory Tuesday night.

Each team will be playing for its first national title in baseball in the winner-take-all Game 3 tonight.

Virginia (53-15) forced the third game after Vanderbilt (50-21) rode a nine-run third inning to a 9-8 victory in the opener.

Waddell (10-3), who pitched a solid seven innings with a no decision against TCU a week ago,

was even better against the Commodores. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow a hit in the fifth through eighth innings, and retired 12 in a row before he issued a walk with two outs in the ninth.

Kenny Towns and John La Prise drove in two runs apiece, and the Cavaliers finished with 13 hits against Beede (8-8) and three relievers.

The Cavaliers turned a 2-1 deficit entering the sixth inning into a 6-2 lead at the end of the seventh.

Brandon Downes drove in Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third run of the sixth when his fly ball to center glanced off the heel of John Norwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glove for a triple.

Townsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; third twoout single of the game brought in two more runs in the seventh.

The You want a buffet of top Cubs could flip him for organizations with major anything, but thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not league teams that are what Theo Epstein envicompeting, a concept sions. The Cubs arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t with which the Cubs dangling Samardzija as a remain unfamiliar. rental, because the return The Tigers have a failing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough to continue Justin Verlander, a potenstacking the farm system. tial free agent in Max Finding a trade partner Scherzer, an old team

built to win now for an even older owner whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running out of time to see it actually happen.

The Tigers, then, are a team that Epstein needs to drag into the Samardzija yard sale, especially after the Royals chased them down before falling back. The Royals are still stalking, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a play to be made.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the thing about dealing with the Tigers: Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pay up when it comes to a chance to win.

At the trade deadline last year, Rick Hahn wedged his silly White Sox into a discussion between playoff aspirants

Boston and Detroit and came away with Avisail Garcia, a legitimate major-leaguer whom the Sox never wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve acquired had the Tigers not had the urgency of an aging owner.

But the Tigers have a bad farm system. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dealt a lot of their prospects in pursuit of a championship for Mike Ilitch. But hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other thing about dealing with the Tigers: That gets the Royalsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; attention, and they had one of the top farm systems to start the season, according to Baseball Prospectus.

The Royals donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have

the aging owner thing, but they have a manager and general manager under a lot of pressure to win something now, to put a postseason in that gorgeous new park. The Royals seem ripe for overpayment.

And then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the AL East, where everybody except Tampa is in playoff contention. When the fourth-place team is the defending World Series champion, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve picked the right block for prospect trick-or-treating.

The Blue Jays have been a hot rumor since February, it seems. The Orioles have become part of the

talk. The Red Sox and Yankees are always in play because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the Red Sox and Yankees.

And all of that is great for the Cubs. Those are teams that need to win now and have good-togreat farm systems, save for the Yankees. Baseball Prospectus had the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Orioles ranked in the top 13.

Maybe the deal will come down next week when the Cubs go to Boston, and Epstein gets a homecoming. Or maybe talk just gets stoked, which is fine, too. Just stop offering Samardzija money, Theo.

HARMON

What’s done is done Wednesday, June 25, 2014 You’ll be faced with a fast pace this year, making it important not to take on too much. Leave time to rethink your agenda so that you don’t wear yourself out.

With careful planning, you will have the endurance to get ahead and reach your destination.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- If you are in search of some information, get at least two points of view. You could lose out on an opportunity if you are too quick to accept the first opinion that comes along.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -You have great ideas, but you may find your estimates way off target. Before you do any spending, make a realistic outline to determine what your budget can withstand.

made if you are open to new and untraditional concepts, information and philosophies.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Get serious about your financial situation. You can make the most of your future by building a solid base. Go back to the drawing board and find new ways to bring in more cash.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Don’t use past problems as an excuse for current difficulties. What’s done is done, so face the facts and deal with whatever is holding you back.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You will have to protect your reputation and your assets.

Be wary of someone who tries to take advantage of your good will.

Charity begins at home.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Your ideas will not go over well with everyone. Be prepared to defend your actions and prove your methods to all opponents.

Don’t hesitate, or you will be questioned.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It’s a great day to spice up your life. Spend time shopping for something that will make you feel and look good. A little confidence can go a long way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Travel and learning experiences will go hand-in-hand today.

Life-altering changes can be

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Problems with a personal or professional partner will escalate if left to fester. Make the first move by being honest and direct

about your feelings or concerns.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Love and romance should highlight your day. You will receive some compelling new information that will help you make an important, life-changing decision.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t spend a lot of money on over-the-counter enhancement products. A confident air and a pleasing disposition will get you further ahead than anything you can buy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If you don’t have a full grasp of what is going on, ask someone who does. Trying to guess your way into or out of a situation will get you nowhere.
