CHICAGO (AP) – Gov. Pat Quinn called on Republican challenger Bruce Rauner to release complete income tax returns, saying Tuesday that the documents could reveal potential conflicts of interest or tax loopholes ahead of November.

Top Democrats supporting Quinn have been raising questions about what’s contained in years of returns detailing Pat the multimillionQuinn aire venture capitalist’s income and investments.

They’ve deemed it a matter of transparency. But Rauner’s campaign called it a “political stunt” distracting from Bruce other issues and Rauner confirmed Tuesday that Rauner filed for an extension and would release his 2013 returns sometime ahead of the Nov. 4 election.

Rauner has already made public state and federal returns for three years: 2010, 2011 and 2012.

But Quinn said they don’t contain detailed schedules, which offer more information about Rauner’s business dealings and how he made his wealth.

“We don’t need a loophole governor,” Quinn said at a Chicago plumbers’ hall.

40 arrested downtown Police: Party was ‘large and out of control’

BY MATT MENCARINI MMENCARINI SAUKVALLEY COM

EXT

DIXON – Dixon police arrested 40 people on charges of underage drinking at a party in downtown Dixon early Saturday.

Police responded around midnight to a building in the 200 block of First Street after getting a call about people throwing bottles from the second floor into the alley and people urinating from the top of the three-story building, Police Chief Danny Langloss said.

There were about 80 people at the party, which was “large and out of control,� police said Tuesday in a news release.

Some of the partygoers ran before police arrived, and others were trying to scatter, Langloss said.

Police believe the alcohol was brought to the party by the partygoers.

About half of those at the party were either 21 or older or younger than 21 but not drinking alcohol, Langloss said.

Nearly all of those arrested were from Sterling and Rock Falls.

Those underage people who told police they hadn’t been drinking were released once they passed a breath test.

Police took information from the 21-and-older group, then released them, Langloss said.

was split between male and female, and older or younger than 18. Police issued 38 city citations for consumption of alcohol as a minor.

The other two were arrested on state charges of consumption of alcohol as a minor.

Bryan D. Gutierrez, 20, of Sterling, was arrested on two counts of resisting or obstructing a peace officer, in addition to the state charge for underage consumption.

Rafael Sosa, 20, of Sterling, was the other man arrested on the state charge.

Langloss said the party was hosted by Micah Khuntangta, 18, of Sterling, son of the building’s owner, Trirong Khuntangta. Langloss said Micah’s father wasn’t aware of the party, and cooperated with police.

Several of the partygoers were “severely intoxicated,� Langloss said, and police had someone come to pick them up before they were released.

Some police officers who were patrolling Petunia Festival had to be called away to handle the arrests and investigation at the party, Langloss said. “The Dixon Police Department has a longstanding policy of zero tolerance on underage drinking,� he said in the release. “These arrests should serve as a warning to those organizing these types of parties.

We will dedicate the necessary resources to address this problem, regardless of the size.�

OREGON I BLACK HAWK STATUE REPAIRS

OREGON | PUBLIC SAFETY

Experts awaiting plan’s approval

Defunct ambulance service lending hand

Two state agencies must sign off on renovation project

Owners giving building, vehicles to fire department

BY VINDE WELLS Shaw Media

OREGON – Fundraising continues while a team of experts ready to repair the well-known Black Hawk statue waits for the go-ahead from two state agencies.

Frank Rausa of Sterling, who is spearheading the effort to repair the 103-year-old concrete statue, said the project team has not yet received approval of a plan submitted to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Historic Preservation Agency.

“We haven’t heard from the state yet,” Rausa said Monday. “They’re reviewing it.”

The IDNR’s approval is required because the statue, which overlooks the Rock River from a high bluff at Lowden State Park, is under that agency’s jurisdiction.

The IDNR received a $350,000 grant for the project from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Because the statue has landmark status, the IHPA also must sign off.

Black Hawk has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 2009.

The project team is made up of Amy Lamb Woods, the project manager and a preservation materials engineer; Andrzej Dajnowski, the conservator; Anne T. Sullivan, historic preservation consultant; and Rausa’s wife, Charron, who is involved in the

Frank Rausa of Sterling, who is spearheading the effort to repair the statue, said the project team has not yet received approval of a plan submitted to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and Illinois Historic Preservation Agency. fundraising efforts.

At a news conference June 24, Rausa said the $724,000 already raised to repair the 50-foot statue likely would not be enough.

“We have sufficient funds to do 80 percent of the work,” he said.

Woods said at the news conference that testing and evaluations done recently show that three areas of the Black Hawk statue are in dire need of repairs.

She is an engineer with Thornton Tomasetti, Chicago, an architectural firm that provides engineering design, investigation, and analysis services to clients worldwide.

The folded arms of the statue, especially the elbows and underneath the arms; the middle of the robe; and the verti-

cal fold in the robe from armpit to toe are the critical areas, Woods said.

The areas are spalled, meaning chunks of concrete have already fallen out, and delineated, meaning areas of concrete are loose and ready to fall.

Woods was a member of the team of experts who measured, cored, and poked the statue last fall and again this spring to find out how bad the toll taken by the ravages of time and weather actually is.

“The damage is way more than we expected,” she said.

Despite that, she said some parts of the statue remain in good shape.

“The head is actually in very good condition,” Woods said. “The back side of the statue is in rel-

atively good condition.”

The core of the statue is also sound. Steel reinforcement rods inside several inches of concrete under the outer layers show no corrosion, Woods said.

Except for the damaged outer layers, “we have a pretty stable structure,” she said.

Woods said she hopes the scaffolding will be in place by mid-July with the work beginning sometime in August.

Created by sculptor Lorado Taft in 1910 as a tribute to all Native Americans, the statue draws thousands of visitors each year.

OREGON – Although it’s not official yet, plans are in the works to transfer the Oregon Ambulance Service Inc. building and vehicles to the Oregon Fire Protection District.

Betty Ferris, who managed the service with her husband, Jim, said the building at 101 Madison St. and two ambulances were given to the fire district on July 1.

“That’s where they should go,” she said.

“We have to complete the paperwork yet.”

Attorneys for both entities are working out the details, Fire Chief Don Heller said Monday.

“It’s not officially done,” he said. “The lawyers are still negotiating.”

The matter is on the agenda for tonight’s fire protection district board of trustees meeting, which will begin at 7 at the district’s administration building, 106 S. First St. The nonprofit Oregon Ambulance Service Inc. closed its doors June 17, leaving Oregon without its own ambulance service.

Ferris closed for financial reasons, she said.

She notified the fire

board at its June 11 meeting.

The Oregon Fire Protection District Don is one of Heller very few fire districts without a taxsupported ambulance service. Fire district officials likely will place a referendum to tax for an ambulance service on the ballot either in November or April.

District officials signed a 10-month contract last week with ATS Medical Services of Loves Park for ambulance service; an ATS ambulance and crew have been based at the Oregon Fire Station and answering calls since July 1.

“The ambulance service is going well,” Heller said Monday, adding that ATS responded to at least a dozen calls in its first few days in Oregon.

Calls between June 17 and July 1 were handled by neighboring fire departments’ ambulance services.

The fire district, which is 120 square miles and bordered by 10 other fire districts, includes all of Oregon-Nashua Township and portions of Pine Creek, Pine Rock, White Rock, Rockvale, Marion, Grand Detour, and Taylor townships.

OBITUARIES FUNERAL SERVICES FOR THE WEEK

Glenda S. Johnson NASHUA, Iowa – Glenda S. Johnson, 76, of Nashua, died Thursday, July 3, 2014, at Floyd County Medical Center in Charles City, Iowa.

Glenda Sue Johnson was born June 24, 1938, in Kell, the daughter of Gail and Hazel (Griffith) Henson. She attended school in Rock Falls, and graduated in 1956 from Rock Falls High School.

After graduation, Glenda moved to San Diego, where she worked as a telephone operator for 4 years. She then moved back to Rock Falls, where she worked as a waitress at Gordon’s Restaurant in Sterling.

Glenda met Merle Johnson at the roller skating rink in Sterling. The couple were married July 2, 1961, at St. Paul Lutheran Church in Sterling. To this union, three children were born. The family moved to Atkinson, and then to Geneseo, where Glenda stayed at home and looked after the children.

In 1968, the family moved to Iowa, where they were planning to rent a home in Charles City.

Quinn said Rauner should act quickly with voters being able to apply for absentee ballots in September.

Rauner’s spokesman Mike Schrimpf said the Winnetka busi nessman filed for a 6-month extension of the April 15 filing deadline and would make his 2013 returns public before the election. He said Quinn was trying to distract voters from the Chicago Democrat’s push to extend the state’s temporary income tax increase.

“Bruce already proactively released three years of his state and federal tax returns,�

Schrimpf said. “This is nothing but a political stunt.�

When and if candidates release tax returns has long cropped up in gubernatorial races.

GOP and Democratic nominees have often made them available, at times without fanfare and some not until weeks before the election.

Other times, it’s became a major issue, such as in 2006 when Judy Baar Topinka released some tax documents during the GOP primary and publicly challenged her opponents to do the same.

After winning the party’s nomination, she also made her 2005 documents available.

Topinka, who’s seeking another term as state comptroller, lost

the general election to Rod Blagojevich. The Chicago Democrat filed for extensions in election years.

Quinn’s focus on Rauner’s wealth and business dealings has emerged as a campaign theme during one of the most competitive governor’s races nationwide.

The Chicago Democrat has portrayed himself as being concerned about issues for working people. Rauner, who’s seeking public office for the first time, claims another Quinn term would be politics as usual and he has the experience to improve Illinois’ business climate.

Tax returns for Quinn – who releases his hand-written tax returns annually – show he made about $161,000 last year.

Rauner’s 2012 returns show the Winnetka businessman made $53 million that year.

OREGON

City, park district OK pact for police services Department will offer traffic control during some events

BY CHRIS JOHNSON Shaw Media

OREGON – Both the City Council and the Park District Board gave unanimous approval without discussion Tuesday to an agreement between the two for police services.

Oregon Police Chief

Darin DeHaan said the agreement will provide proactive patrols at the parks, as well as a variety of community service education opportunities.

The police department will also offer traffic control during some park district events.

“The Oregon Police Department will handle all investigations on park property,” said DeHaan.

“This is a renewal of a contract we have had in the past with the park district.”

Darin The park DeHaan district will pay the city $10,000 per year, DeHaan said.

“This fee will help cover our costs,” DeHaan said.

Erin Folk, executive director of the park dis-

trict, said the park district will continue to employ park police.

“The main purpose for the park police is ordinance enforcement at special events and during peak use times,” she said.

The park district has four part-time police officers who are or have been full-time police officers elsewhere.

The four are Ogle

County Chief Deputy Mike Schabacker, Ogle County Deputy Evan Ruggeberg, Polo Policeman Chris Scott, and retired Byron Policeman Jeff Ziolkowski.

Folk said the park district is also continuing a police services agreement with the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department.

That agreement is for dispatch services and firearms certification.

In the past, it included police training, but with experienced officers on staff, that aspect is no longer necessary.

Folk said the agreement with the sheriff’s department is reciprocal.

In return for the police services, the park district does beautification projects on the courthouse grounds.

KINGSTON

Search continues for missing 23- year-old DeKalb man Steven Schulz was last seen Sunday morning

Age: 23 Height: FOOT Weight: 140 pounds Hair: Brown Eyes: Green (AS TATTOO ON CHEST

BY ANDREA AZZO AND KATIE DAHLSTROM Shaw Media

KINGSTON – The disappearance of a DeKalb man whose vehicle was found abandoned near state Route 72 and Glidden Road in rural Kingston remained a mystery Tuesday, despite an exhaustive daylong search.

Authorities deployed dogs and a boat, and enlisted the Steven help of a Schulz crop helicopter in a search that began about 1 a.m. Tuesday and lasted into the evening, looking for any trace of Steven Schulz, 23, of DeKalb, whose friends said he had planned to exchange guns with a man near Genoa before he disappeared Sunday.

“We don’t know what happened,” DeKalb police Det. Lt. Bob Redel said. “Until we get something more, we are investigating all the way from suicide to homicide and everything in between.”

Redel said there was no indication Schulz was suicidal, nor were there any signs of foul play at the scene. He said other possibilities were that Schulz went swimming or was picked up by a friend.

A DeKalb County Sheriff’s deputy on patrol found Schulz’s Ford pickup truck about 2:40 a.m. Monday. Schulz was reported missing Monday night to DeKalb

Schulz was about 10 a.m.

Sunday. Cornish said Schulz agreed to work on his truck later, giving no indication he didn’t plan to come home.

Cornish started to worry when he came home Monday night and learned Schulz had not returned since Sunday.

“This is not Steve,” Cornish said. “This is not like him at all.”

Schulz’s mom, Nona Schulz, of Sycamore, did not want to say much about the search for her missing son, other than to compliment police for their efforts.

Emergency crews, sheriff’s deputies and DeKalb police participated in the search, with assistance from Kirkland police, Kendall County Search and Rescue, Boone County Emergency Management Services Search and Rescue, Naperville’s search and rescue team, and the IllinoisWisconsin Search & Rescue Dogs.

“I’m extremely grateful for law enforcement,” Nona Schulz said, “and all they have done and are continuing to do.”

DeKalb County Sheriff Det. Sgt. Brad Carls (right) points upstream Tuesday just east of the Glidden Road bridge on the north branch of the Kishwaukee River.

DeKalb County Sheriff’s Patrol found the abandoned pickup truck of Steven Schulz, 23, Monday morning in the area around state Route 72 and Glidden Road in Kingston. Schulz was reported missing by his family late Monday night, DeKalb police said. He was last seen in DeKalb on Sunday. Police said he has not spoken with family members or friends. police, and authorities then made the connection and began searching.

Schulz was last seen Sunday, and Redel said Schulz’s phone records show he hasn’t contacted anyone since.

Other than the fact they found his Ford pickup nearby, police said they had little indication Schulz was in the area.

“We’ll regroup [today] and figure out where to go from there,” Redel said, adding a search today would be on a smaller scale than Tuesday’s search.

The search Tuesday was confined to a halfmile area of the north branch of the Kishwaukee River, along with its banks on either side.

Two K-9 officers were on a boat in the river looking for any evidence. The dogs barked occasionally, but no evidence was ultimately found, DeKalb County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie said. Sheriff’s deputies also searched the Kishwaukee without K-9 officers.

The search was difficult, because the water level is slightly elevated because of recent rainfall, officials said.

“We just want to make sure we’ve got this area all covered before we leave,” Dumdie said .

Schulz’s longtime friend, Thomas Joiner of Sycamore, said that the last time he heard from Schulz was at 1 p.m. Sunday. In a phone conver-

sation, Schulz told Joiner he was planning a “firearms exchange” with a man.

Joiner, who graduated from Sycamore High

School with Schulz in 2009, said he didn’t know who Schulz was going to meet or what kind of gun Schulz was going to get.

Joiner said he’s tried calling Schulz several times, only to hear one ring, an indication Schulz’s phone is dead.

“I’m hoping, worst-case scenario, things went bad with the exchange and he jumped in the river,” Joiner said. “He’s a pretty good swimmer. Maybe he’s just balled up in a corn field somewhere.

Maybe he’s just chilling somewhere, thinking things through.”

Schulz’s roommate, William Cornish, said even on his days off, Schulz usually would pop in at Insight Services in DeKalb, where he works in maintenance.

Cornish said he last saw

THE READER’S VOICE

Scripture is not relevant to Constitution JOHN R. FREY Dixon

There have been letters to the editor where people have quoted the Bible to try to justify their point of view on a particular subject.

We need to remember that the Constitution, not the Bible, Quran or any other religious text, is the law of the land. The Constitution keeps the government from interfering with the practice of one’s faith, but also protects anyone from having to conform to someone else’s faith.

If individuals want to use a religious text to guide their personal life, I would strongly defend their right to practice that faith. I would just as strongly defend anyone from having to have someone’s religious views or practices forced on them.

The only requirement for anyone to have the same rights and privileges as anyone else is the

title of citizen, without regard to any other factor. In this country, we have no second-class citizens for any reason at all, and those who would try to make any citizen have less than full citizenship rights are arrogant, discriminatory, and, most of all, un-American.

For the life of me, I do not understand the attraction two men have for one another, but as a straight male, I am not in the least threatened by gay marriage. It does not threaten my liberties or freedom in any way whatsoever.

Again, vote no on proposed sales tax hike PAUL LAIRD Sterling

Insanity [is defined as] doing something over and over again and expecting different results. The Prophetstown-Tampico-Lyndon School District comes to us to get a 1 percent increase in the sales tax to raise more money for the schools.

What do you think?

Let us know. Write your own letter to the editor and send it to: letters@saukvalley. com They soften this tax increase by claiming they want to relieve property owners of the onus of paying for schools. A careful reading of the request shows there is no reduction in property tax. So what happens if this request passes?

First, our property taxes will not decrease. There is no provision made for relieving anyone’s property tax burden; none.

Second, the impact of this sales tax increase will be greatest on poor people and seniors on a fixed income. This group pays a higher percentage of its disposable income toward taxable items like cars, clothes, books, etc., than do others.

Third, there are no guarantees on how this money will be used.

We’ve all seen how well government uses tax money.

WASHINGTON – Perhaps, like mine, your inbox is being flooded with emails from Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Michelle Obama.

President Obama usually says “hey� or “Ann� or “So, Ann.� Biden says “Here’s the thing, Ann.� And Mrs. Obama (Michelle) says “Hi� or “Hi, Ann.�

Obama wants to thank me in person by telling me to enter a contest to travel to Austin, where, presumably, he will be waiting to meet me although we live just a couple of miles apart in Washington. I’m not sure why he wants to thank me. He doesn’t say.

But this is the amazing part. He wants me to contribute only $3 to be eligible for a free flight and hotel room in Texas and handshake.

Michelle is more practical. She wants me to give $10 to have a chance at this opportunity. Unlike regulated contests, however, my friends Barack, Michelle and Joe don’t tell me what the chances are of winning.

Obviously, political columnists may not participate in such giveaways, let alone contribute to politicians. So if the goal of the emails is to make me give money to Democrats, that email deluge is having no effect.

It’s the same thing from Republicans, although they want me to give more – much more. Hundreds of dollars. Thousands of dollars. Hundreds of millions of dollars. (I am on these email lists by mistake because somehow Republicans are not taking advantage of the personal information out there for free which might indicate that anything in that range is highly implausible.)

MESSAGES FROM THE president, vice president and first lady warn that because Obama’s name won’t be on the ballot in November, many Democrats may not be motivated to vote or give money. In that case, they note with alarm, Republicans will have enormous amounts of money to fund their candidates and take over the Senate.

Joe in particular is worried that the Koch brothers, those astoundingly rich guys (think $1 billion) in Kansas who loathe Obama and everything he stands for, will control the outcome of the autumn election by giving conservative candidates millions of dollars.

On the other hand, Bill and Hillary Clinton helped raise between $2 billion and $3 billion for politics and their causes in the past two decades, according to The Wall Street Journal. Republicans worry that if Hill-

(The two Bush presidents raised $2.9 billion, so presumably if Jeb runs, they’d help.)

The 2012 presidential election cost $2 billion.

It will cost much more in 2016.

THIS YEAR THE Supreme Court weighed in again on the perennial issue of campaign finance, a subject guaranteed to make eyes glaze over but which is incredibly important. The rulings are changing our country, helping to make Washington gridlock permanent.

The Court has ruled that just about anything goes when it comes to raising money for candidates.

by Justice John Roberts, has ruled by 5-4 votes to weaken laws designed to prevent the rich from controlling democracy. The court this year had an unusual number of unanimous decisions, but not on campaign finance.

The latest decision struck down the cap on contributions a donor may give to federal candidates, causing a lot of people to worry that this opens the door to more corruption. Politicians definitely respond to the money that elects them.

Oddly, fewer Americans are checking that little box on their tax returns that gives $3 of the taxes they owe (not an additional $3) to help fund the presidential election. If candidates take it, their fundraising is restricted. But candidates know they can rake in more dollars by refusing to take pro-rated money from the public fund.

So, fellow voters, expect more political emails in your inbox. How about $3 giving you a chance to meet the president in his home state of Hawaii or $5,000 to watch House Speaker John Boehner play golf in Cincinnati?

Rockets hit Israeli heartland Obama urgently requests $3.7B for border crisis

Nation hits nearly 150 sites in largest offensive in 2 years JERUSALEM (AP) – Israel on Tuesday launched its largest offensive in the Gaza Strip in nearly 2 years, carrying out a blistering aerial assault on scores of targets and killing 25 people in what officials called an open-ended operation aimed at ending weeks of heavy rocket fire. As Gaza militants unleashed salvos on cities including Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel mobilized forces along the border for a possible ground invasion.

The offensive set off the heaviest fighting between Israel and the Islamic militant group Hamas since an 8-day battle in November 2012.

The militants fired about 160 rockets at Israel, including a strike that reached the northern city of Hadera for the first time, while Israel said it attacked more than 150 sites across Gaza.

Palestinian medics reported at least 25 dead, including six killed in an airstrike that flattened an apartment building in southern Gaza and set off widespread panic.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said continued rocket attacks

Some Republicans and Dems seemed open to approving WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama appealed to Congress on Tuesday for $3.7 billion in emergency spending to deal with the immigration crisis on the nation’s southern border, where unaccompanied children have been showing up by the thousands in a human drama that’s causing a political storm in Washington and beyond.

Obama himself will fly to Texas today, a trip designed mostly for political fundraising for Democrats but now including a meeting on immigration with religious and local leaders in Dallas. He rejected pressure from Republican Gov. Rick Perry to visit the border for a firsthand look.

In Washington, Democrats and some Republicans on Capitol Hill seemed open to approving the emergency money, which would go toward hiring more immigration judges and asylum officers, building more detention facilities, boosting deterrence and enforcement and increasing surveillance along the border with Mexico.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Senate would act on it this month.

Obama said in a formal letter of request that the money was needed to “address this urgent humanitarian situation.”

But Senate Democrats voiced skepticism about other changes the White

Smoke and fire rise from an Israeli missile strike Tuesday in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. The Israeli military launched what could be a long-term offensive against the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip on Tuesday, striking nearly 150 sites in Gaza and mobilizing troops for a possible ground invasion aimed at stopping a heavy barrage of rocket attacks against Israel. on Israeli communities would not be tolerated.

“Therefore I have ordered the military to significantly broaden its operation against Hamas terrorists and against the other terrorist groups inside Gaza,” he said on national TV. “I call on you to display patience, because this operation could take time.”

Israel and Hamas are bitter enemies that have engaged in numerous rounds of fighting over the years. But until recently, they had been observing a truce that

ended the previous hostilities in 2012.

Tensions have been rising since Palestinian militants kidnapped three Israeli teenagers in the West Bank on June 12. Accusing Hamas of being behind the abductions, Israel launched a crackdown on the group’s members in the West Bank and arrested hundreds of people.

Hamas, which controls Gaza, responded by stepping up rocket fire.

The situation deteriorated last week, after the bodies of the Israeli

youths were found, and a Palestinian teenager in Jerusalem was abducted and burned to death in what Palestinians believe was a revenge attack. Six Jewish Israelis have been arrested in the killing, and the rocket fire from Gaza has increased in recent days.

The fighting raged throughout the day. In its fiercest attack, an airstrike flattened the home of a Hamas militant in the southern Gaza town of Khan Younis, reducing the concrete structure into a smoldering pile of rubble.

Forgotten vials of smallpox found in storage room ATLANTA (AP) – A government scientist cleaning out an old storage room at a research center near Washington made a startling discovery last week – decadesold vials of smallpox packed away and forgotten in a cardboard box.

The six glass vials were intact and sealed, and scientists have yet to establish whether the virus is dead or alive, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

Still, the find was disturbing, because for

decades after smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980, world health authorities said the only known samples left were safely stored in supersecure laboratories in Atlanta and in Russia.

Officials said this is the first time in the

United States that unaccounted-for smallpox has been discovered. At least one leading scientist raised the possibility that there are more such vials out there around the world.

The CDC and the FBI are investigating.

Barack Obama

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin

House has said it wants that would send the minors back to Central America more quickly, partly by limiting their existing rights to court hearings. Those proposals, which are not part of Tuesday’s request, have infuriated immigrant advocates who say they would result in harsher treatment of kids and eliminate their legal protections.

“Everybody’s very concerned. I’m one of them,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. “I just want to make sure that at the end of the day we’re being fair, humane and doing this in an orderly way.”

At the same time, Republicans criticized Obama for stepping back from asking for those legal changes, which the White House initially had said would come in concert with the emergency spending request.

The White House now says those proposals will come later.

“He just decided not to do that because of the pushback he got from some in his own political base,” said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas. “We need to solve the problem, but you don’t need to just ignore the cause of the current crisis. And that requires more than just appropriating $3.7 billion for additional judges and the like.”

Couple’s use of birth control long overdue Dear Abby, My 19-year-old son has been dating the daughter of one of my friends I’ll call “Mona.”

We didn’t set them up; they met at some parties. Last summer, we discovered they were having sex, because “Meghan” thought she was pregnant.

Luckily, it turned out she wasn’t. They broke up but have gotten back together recently.

When I asked Mona if she was putting Meghan on birth control, Mona said that she wouldn’t, because “that would be letting her know it’s OK to have sex.” I said, “Better

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

safe than sorry,” and we left it at that.

I let my son use my car last weekend and found an opened box of emergency contraception on the floor. Because my son never answers his phone, I called Meghan

and stressed to her that unprotected sex is irresponsible and that they aren’t ready for a baby. I warned her to take precautions and get on birth control, and I helped her to make the arrangements.

Was it wrong to discuss this behind her mother’s back? Should I tell Mona after promising Meghan I wouldn’t say anything?

What should I do?

– Mom versus Friend Dear Mom, Wrong? You deserve a medal. And you should now have the conversation with your son that you should have had

before the first pregnancy scare, stressing to HIM the importance of using condoms not only to protect himself and Meghan from an unplanned pregnancy, but also an STD, if she isn’t the only girl he’s having sex with. Girls don’t get pregnant all by themselves.

As to telling your friend Mona, who seems to have the parental insight of an ostrich where her daughter is concerned, keep your promise to Meghan and your lips sealed.

Meghan needs a woman she can confide in, and your friend seems to prefer living in fantasyland,

rather than giving her daughter the support and guidance she needs.

Dear Abby, I live in Colorado. In my state, marijuana is legal now. What do you think about my inviting my adult children (they are all over 21) and my aging dad to get stoned with me? I think it might stimulate conversation and motivate more family time than we spend together now. What do you think of “family night” with marijuana as a way to improve family unity?

– Original Thinker in Denver

Dear Original Thinker, Were you stoned when you wrote this? If not, I think it’s sad that your family would need pot in order to communicate or create family unity. While I applaud your desire to bring your family together, you can have a good time without inviting “Mary Jane.” And that’s what I’d recommend.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Get them to the Greek Pasta salad dish will please party

BY SUSAN SELASKY MCT News Service

A

n outdoor cookout or potluck is not complete without some sort of a pasta salad. It’s the go-to salad that goes a long way. And it’s the type of salad where just about anything goes. Use leftover chopped vegetables, lean cooked and cubed meats and combine with a creamy dressing or vinaigrette.

When you make a pasta salad to be served cold, it’s best to cook the pasta al dente, rinse and drain it. Spread the cooked pasta it on a jelly-roll pan to cool completely to room temperature and dry. This helps the pasta retain some of the starchiness so the vinaigrette will coat the pasta, but not completely soak in.

Today’s Greek pasta salad uses cavatappi pasta. It’s a short, “S�shaped pasta tube that resembles a corkscrew.

Most all of the timing in this recipe is in prepping the vegetables. And the dressing benefits from some Feta cheese whipped in. You can use the dressing on a mixed greens salad, too.

Focusing on single product risky Cupcake chain Crumbs closed stores Monday NEW YORK (AP) – Turns out, being a one-hit wonder is risky.

When Crumbs, the New York City-based chain that built its business around cupcakes, shuttered several dozen of its remaining locations on Monday, it seemed like an abrupt ending for a company that opened a decade ago to ride the wave of popularity of the sugary treat sparked by the TV series Sex and The City.

But Crumbs’ rise and fall isn’t surprising when considering the company’s dependence on a fad. In fact, it’s the latest cautionary tale for businesses that devote their entire menus to variations of a single product. s +RISPY +REME FOR instance, expanded rap-

The best diet? So fresh and so clean

BY SHERRY DEWALT #'( -EDICAL #ENTER

The term “eating clean� has been popping up a lot in recent years. The trend might have been first identified in 1993, when Gerald Celente coined the term “clean foods� in an article written for The Trends Journal.

Celente defined clean foods as those that are “free of artificial preservatives, coloring, irradiation, synthetic pesticides, fungicides, ripening agents, fumigants, drug residues and growth hormones� and those that

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

are “processed, packaged, transported and stored to retain maximum nutritional value.�

Since then, there have been numerous articles and books written about clean eating with almost

as many interpretations as there are authors.

But there are common themes, and many of them make sense to anyone who is trying to eat healthier.

Put most simply, eating clean means avoiding processed and refined foods and basing your diet on whole foods. Here are a few key concepts from the book “Eating Clean for Dummies�, written by Jonathan Wright and Linda Johnson Larsen: s Eat whole foods.

Whole foods are foods that haven’t been tam-

pered with, in the lab or the manufacturing plant. The foods you eat on this plan are straight from the farm: whole fruits and vegetables, whole grains, grass-fed and free-range meats, low-fat dairy products, unsalted nuts and seeds. s Avoid processed foods. Processed foods are any food with a label. A label means that more than one ingredient was used to make that food. You don’t have to eliminate all processed foods (like whole grain pasta or

SALMON RECIPE

little preparation beyond chopping and sautĂŠing to make satisfying, delicious meals your family will love.

While there might be many perceived advantages to clean eating, it’s important to point out that some of the health claims are yet to be scientifically proven.

I should point out that it is still possible to overeat while following these principles. So, if you decide to focus on the quality of your food, make sure that you do not lose sight of quantity.

SWEET TOOTH

Even better the second time Leftovers put to good use in dish

BY JUDY HEVRDEJS -#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

I buy more fresh salmon than I need for dinner. Not because I’m lured by the mammoth slabs sold at warehouse clubs or its, well, salmon color. It’s because salmon’s texture and richness work well ovenroasted or grilled. Those same qualities make the leftovers perfect for a second meal.

I’ve flaked leftover salmon, mixed it with crumbs, seasonings, chopped green onions and egg, then shaped it into patties before pan-frying. Or I toss leftover salmon in a green salad. But when I have a substantial amount of leftover cooked rice, I make my version of the fish-and-rice dish called kedgeree.

Kedgeree (kedge-uhREE) is a classic English breakfast dish that traces its roots several hundred years back to India’s rice-and-lentil comfort food, khichri. Kedgeree is often made with haddock and topped with hardcooked eggs, yet every TV celeb cook has a version. There’s Jamie’s (with ginger, garlic, curry powder) and Gordon’s (salmon, quail eggs) – do we really need last names here? – and Delia’s (that’s Smith, TV cookery legend).

Although kedgeree is often consumed early in

natural cheeses), but if you can’t pronounce an ingredient on a label, don’t put that food in your shopping basket. s Eliminate refined sugar. Refined sugar provides nothing but calories. Other sweeteners can be used, but with all the good foods you add to your diet, refined sugar really has very little place in the eating clean plan. s Cook your own meals. Instead of buying meals in a box, cook meals from scratch. It’s not as hard as it sounds.

Oreos even better with peanut butter?

-#4 .EWS 3ERVICE

Good heavens, there’s another new flavor of Oreo cookies! It’s Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, represented with yet another two-color filling swirl – in this case, peanut butter and chocolate. As with other recent “limited edition� Oreos, the bag of the Reese’s version weighs 12.2 ounces, for the same price as the 14.3-ounce bags of regular Oreos. Oddly, the 15.25-ounce bags of Peanut Butter Oreos seem to have disappeared.

Cheerios with a twist You know what your life was missing, right?

Another kind of Cheerios.

This one, in two flavors – Cinnamon Almond and Oats & Honey (that makes 16 varieties) – is designed to address what seems to be the latest dietary worry: Are you getting enough protein?

(Pssst: Yes, you are. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine says, “The average American consumes about double the protein her or his body needs.�)

OK, never mind wheth-

er you need it. How much protein does new Cheerios Protein provide?

On the front of the box there’s a big circled “11g protein.� But, as noted there, that’s the amount of protein with milk.

The nutrition label shows that the amount of protein in a serving of the cereal alone is 7 grams; it also shows 11 grams as the amount of protein counting the 4 grams in half a cup of milk. (This is the same deal as the 10 grams of protein with milk listed on General Mills ‘ fairly new Fiber One Protein cereal. The nutrition label on virtually every other cereal lists only the amount of protein in the cereal itself.)

That said, even 7 grams is a lot of protein for a serving of cereal. A serving of regular Cheerios, for instance, has only 3 grams. What accounts for the difference? In the Oats & Honey version, besides the (sweetened) Cheerios, there are oat granola clusters, proteined-up with soy protein and lentils. In the Cinnamon Almond version, the almond granola clusters are boosted with soy protein isolate.

Sterling’s Erin McCawley swims in the 100-yard butterfly at the United Township sectional meet last fall. McCawley and the rest of the Golden Warriors will have some new teammates next season, as Rock Falls joins a co-op with Sterling.

Crossing the river New home for Rockets, new teammates for Warriors

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

Sterling’s recent success

Sterling girls swimming coach Jamie Rodriguez remembers being impressed by several Rock Falls swimmers when the Rockets helped form the Morrison co-op team in past seasons.

Now, Rodriguez will be able to coach and train those Rock Falls athletes.

Beginning in the upcoming season, the Sterling boys and girls swim teams will co-op with Rock Falls for the foreseeable future.

Sterling will host the practices and become the home school for the Rockets’ swimmers.

“It will really be good for us,” Rodriguez said of the co-op agreement with Rock Falls. “We know at least one girl is a pretty fast sprint freestyler from Rock Falls, Michaela Busch, but we’re not really sure who else we’re going to get.”

Busch will be a junior in the fall, and competed on the Rockets’ varsity track

2013-14 season Keaton Dir – 200 freestyle, 14th place at state meet; 100 butterfly, 24th place Cade Coursey – diving, 15th place 2012-13 Keanu Interone – 100 breaststroke, 5th Cade Coursey – diving, 43rd Charli Wike – 200 IM, 34th; 100 breast, 21st Shannon Long – diving, 47th 2011-12 Keanu Interone –100 breaststroke, 2nd Sarah Wolber – 200 freestyle, 51st 400 freestyle relay – 37th team as a sprinter as a sophomore last spring. Rodriguez hopes that Busch can help strengthen the team immediately.

Though the two schools will merge teams, Rodriguez and boys swimming

coach Kyle Ruiz aren’t sure of the specific number of swimmers who will join the new co-op between the Golden Warriors and Rockets.

It is expected, however, that about two Rockets will join the girls team in the fall, while around four will join the boys team in the winter.

The hope is that those numbers rise as the Rocket athletes will be able to practice and compete much closer to home, compared to the distance to Morrison. Cutting down on travel time and long trips home from meets late at night played a big factor in the move.

“It’s a little safer for travel for the athletes,” Rodriguez said.

Rock Falls athletic director Rich Montgomery called Sterling athletic director Greg King a couple months ago to ask if combining the two teams would be something that would interest the Golden Warriors.

CROSSING CONTINUED ON B3

he Bulls believe the longer Carmelo Anthony takes to decide, the better their chances of signing the scoring monster.

The Bulls can’t offer all the money that other teams can. But they can offer a better team, they believe, and they have a great pitch that Anthony is taking seriously.

Yes. Well. Not so fast.

Because here’s the scary thought rolling through the NBA: Anthony’s indecision isn’t based on his bromance with Taj Gibson’s rebounding, or his growing sycophantic belief in Phil Jackson championship zen, but instead is based on Chris Bosh’s indecision ... meaning Anthony would go to the Heat to play with LeBron James if Bosh took Houston’s 4-year, max offer.

It hasn’t happened yet.

There’s a chance the Rockets could put down the bong in time to withdraw its $96 million proposal. It’s just a rumor. But ESPN’s Marc Stein tweeted that the idea was raised by the last five teams he talked to Monday.

I suggested such a marriage before Anthony’s cross-country speed dating, and with nothing else happening, then anything remains possible.

WORLD CUP | SEMIFINAL | GERMANY 7, BRAZIL 1

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil – With Neymar out injured, just about everyone in Brazil knew it would be tough against Germany.

Michelle Wie, Stacy Lewis battle on course, friendly off

BY DOUG FERGUSON !0 'OLF 7RITER

SOUTHPORT, England â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The friendly matches in South Florida can involve as many as eight players, with teams decided by drawing names from a hat.

Michelle Wie would seem to be a great pick, except for the timing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We usually play in the morning, and then go have lunch,â&#x20AC;?

Stacy Lewis said Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And she usually gets very focused on the lunch and kind of doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay attention to the whole golf side of it. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll tell you the same thing.â&#x20AC;?

Wie laughed when told the story Lewis shared. Wie loves her golf and works hard at it. She also loves her food so much that before dinner gets to the table, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s already thinking about the next nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu.

For two personalities that could not be any more different, Wie and Lewis have become close friends.

One is an artist, the other a technician.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You go to her house, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s painted everything thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on her walls,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I need my sister to help me decorate.â&#x20AC;?

One is tall and powerful, the other is compact and precise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Stacy is. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consistent,â&#x20AC;? Wie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadly consistent. Annoyingly consistent.â&#x20AC;?

One thing they have in common is a college diploma, rare in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf these days. And even that was different. Lewis graduated from Arkansas before she turned pro. Wie graduated from Stanford more than 6 years after she turned pro.

They are major champions, and Nos. 1-2 on the LPGA Tour money list. And more than any two players, they are leading an American revival in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf, which resumes this week at Royal Birkdale.

Lewis began this recent surge of American success in the majors by capturing the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s British Open at St. Andrews last summer. Wie won the U.S. Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Open last month at Pinehurst No. 2, making it around the Donald Ross greens without a three-putt over 72 holes. She won by two shots over Lewis, who rushed over from the practice range to be among the first to congratulate her.

A week later, Lewis rallied to beat Wie in Arkansas and take over the No. 1 spot on the money list, raising curiosity about a budding rivalry.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too early for that, and there are too many other players in the mix. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very honored that people are putting me up against Stacy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; No. 1 in the world, obviously,â&#x20AC;?

Wie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a rivalry where we hate each other or anything. But I want her to do well.

I think she wants me to do well.

But I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun because we definitely want to beat each other. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to lose to her, but at the same time, I was really happy that she won in Arkansas, and I think she was really happy I won at the U.S. Open, so I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very cool.â&#x20AC;?

CYCLING | TOUR DE FRANCE

Cuts, scrapes and falls mar Stage 4 Kittel wins his third stage; Nibali keeps yellow jersey

BY JAMEY KEATEN !SSOCIATED 0RESS

LILLE, France â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Back on home turf after 3 days in England, the Tour de France faces its first possible shakeout Wednesday over the bonerattling cobblestones in northern France.

Many riders dreaded the forecast for rain, meaning the stones will be slick.

Defending champion Chris Froome scuffed his left knee and elbow and injured his wrist Tuesday during Stage 4, a crash that couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have come at a worse time for him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Took quite a tumble today but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll definitely be starting tomorrow with no serious

AP

Stage winner Marcel Kittel (center) sprints to the finish line with other riders during the fourth stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday. damage,â&#x20AC;? Froome said on Twitter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be a tough one for everyone on the cobbles!â&#x20AC;?

Astana team leader Vincenzo Nibali of Italy

kept the yellow jersey in what he called a â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazy race,â&#x20AC;? a 101-mile ride along the Belgian border.

Froome and two-time champ Alberto Contador

are among 20 riders trailing Nibali by 2 seconds.

Marcel Kittel got his third stage victory in this Tour and the seventh of his Tour career on Tuesday. Unlike his wins in Stages 1 and 3, when he made victory look easy, Kittel won by a half-wheel length at the end of the ride from Le Touquet-Paris Plage to Lille Metropole.

Kittel, of the GiantShimano team, didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t celebrate this time, but panted. The gesture at the line came from runner-up Alexander Kristoff of Norway, who swatted the air in frustration after being beaten by the barreling German. French rider Arnaud Demare was third.

Cincinnati rallies to sweep Cubs ChiSox pull away from BoSox; Cards get another walk-off shot "Y THE !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Jay Bruce homered in the opener, and then helped the Cincinnati Reds pull off their biggest comeback of the season for a doubleheader sweep on Tuesday, 4-2 and 6-5 over the Chicago Cubs at the Great American Ballpark.

The Reds overcame a 5-0 deficit in the second game, sending Chicago to its fifth straight loss and spoiling a strong start by Tsuyoshi Wada in his bigleague debut. He struck out three and walked one, allowing five hits and one unearned run in five innings.

Bruce doubled home the tying run in the eighth.

Billy Hamilton singled in pinch-runner Mike Leake in the ninth off Hector Rondon (1-3) for the Redsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first doubleheader sweep since 2009 against Pittsburgh. Logan Ondrusek (3-2) pitched two innings.

The Cubs have been swept in all three of their doubleheaders this season.

In the opener, Bruce returned to right field and hit another two-run homer, connecting off Travis Wood (7-7) during a three-run first inning.

White Sox 8, Red Sox 3:

Conor Gillaspie hit a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the sixth inning for his third hit of the game as Chicago won again at Fenway Park.

Jose Abreu led off the sixth with a single against Brandon Workman (1-3) and stayed at first when the next two batters were retired. Then Gillaspie hit a 3-2 pitch just inside the pole in right field for his second homer of the season.

The Cardinals last had consecutive game-winning homers when Albert Pujols twice beat the Cubs on June 4 and 5, 2011.

Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waiting for James to make a deal, so Anthony can make a deal, so everybody else can make a deal, so we can clear the way for futbol to become our national pastime.

Wait, what? Sorry. I mustâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve gotten a whiff of the weed so strong that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s making Clevelanders think James is coming back.

Anyway, the King makes his choice first, then the serfs follow, the thinking goes.

But in a free agency rife with rumors, speculation, and Magic 8-Ball answers, the one true thing is that if Anthony is serious about winning instead of money, he finds a way to play with James.

Period. Paragraph. Next.

Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaming up with the Heat. Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working a deal with the Knicks. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with the Lakers. But the point is, James makes his team the conference favorite, even in the West.

No sane person should opt for joining a team in the West. All the good teams play out there. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a struggle almost every night. But James and Anthony on the Lakers, with a likely re-signed Pau Gasol, barges its way into the SpursThunder coronation, as long as Kobe Bryant learns heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not Kobe Bryant anymore and gives someone else the ball, pal.

If the Bulls donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get Anthony â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it looks as if they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even tried to get a meeting with James â&#x20AC;&#x201C; then

Recent scuttlebutt around the NBA says that Carmelo Anthony is waiting to make a decision on where he plays next year based on what fellow big-name free agent LeBron James decides. they ought to hope Bosh goes to the Rockets and James and Anthony go to the Lakers. Get everybody whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good out of the East. Let them beat up each other in the other conference.

Think about it. The East would look post-apocalyptic.

The Heat would start with crippled and bad Dwyane Wade. The Pacers are a nut house. The Nets would have Team AARP.

Now, the Wizards would be a problem because of that young, killer backcourt, and the Bullsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Defensive Player of the Year couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t defend anybody. The Hawks also quietly threaten to get better.

But if James, Anthony and Bosh leave, and if Nikola Mirotic can play and Derrick Roseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stink like his image, then the Bulls could rule the JV conference.

BELOW: German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (rear) reaches for the ball over Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Paulinho (8) on Tuesday.

Brazil has no answer for German attack BEATDOWN

CONTINUED FROM B1

Brazil was playing without Neymar, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key player and the poster boy for the World Cup. He scored four goals in the group stage, but Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack seemed to get weaker and weaker as the tournament progressed.

The Barcelona striker was ruled out of the tournament with a broken vertebra after getting kneed in the back in the quarterfinal win over Colombia, weakening the sputtering attack even more.

With Neymar sidelined and captain Thiago Silva suspended, the collective hopes of a nation remained high even if expectations were lowered.

The atmosphere at the start of the match was spine-tingling, but the euphoria of the yellowshirted thousands soon turned to tears as the Germans scored five goals in the first 30 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; four of them in a 7-minute span. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was very important to stay calm, cool and courageous in facing Brazilian passion,â&#x20AC;? Germany coach Joachim Loew said.

The loss matched Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most-lopsided defeat ever, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time the team has lost in an official competitive match on home soil since 1975, when Peru won 3-1 at the very same stadium in the Copa America. Its last loss at home came in a friendly with Paraguay in 2002.

Previously, Brazilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest World Cup loss was

3-0 to France in the 1998 final. In the 1920 the South American championship, the predecessor of the Copa America, Brazil lost 6-0 to Uruguay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The responsibility for this catastrophic result is mine,â&#x20AC;? Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was in charge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did what we thought was best. Please excuse us for this mistake. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sorry we could not get to the final.â&#x20AC;?

It was Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest World Cup win since routing Saudi Arabia 8-0 in a group match in 2002.

On Tuesday, with Bernard playing as the third striker in the place of Neymar, Brazil attacked from the start. But they failed to get any solid

chances, and it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long before the Germans opened up the defense and started the rout.

Toni Kroos and Andre Schuerrle scored two goals each, while Mueller and Sami Khedira added the others. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The space we had was bigger than against defensive teams,â&#x20AC;? Mueller said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We took advantage of it superbly, the opponent at some point gets broken.â&#x20AC;?

Oscar pulled a late goal back for Brazil. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brazil was shocked after the goals, they did not expect that. They did not know what to do,â&#x20AC;?

Loew said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their defense was not organized.â&#x20AC;?

Klose scored his record goal in the 23rd minute

to make it 2-0. The German had his original shot saved, but he followed up as Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar spilled the ball, easily scoring from the rebound.

Kroos scored his first goal in the 25th minute, knocking in a cross from Philipp Lahm that bypassed Mueller in the middle. He made it 4-0 a minute later, beating Cesar after a defensive mistake from Fernandinho left the ball on the feet of Khedira.

Mueller scored the first goal, one-timing a corner from Kroos past Cesar in the 11th minute. Khedira made it 5-0 in the 29th, taking a pass from Mesut Ozil and again beating Cesar. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today, 10 minutes went wrong in the game, and Germany did really well,â&#x20AC;? Scolari said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chaotic and terrible defeat ... but we have to learn from it.â&#x20AC;?

Schuerrle, who came on for Klose in the 58th minute, scored from a cross

by Lahm in the 69th, and then knocked a shot off the underside of the crossbar and into the net in the 79th.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the first time Brazil had allowed five goals in a World Cup match since the 1938 tournament in France, when the team beat Poland 6-5 in extra time.

In previous World Cup semifinal matches, the largest margin of defeat was five goals, occurring on three occasions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The German quality is very, very high,â&#x20AC;? Scolari said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is not normal.â&#x20AC;?

Look for a safe way to get home

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Simone de Beauvoir, a French writer, said, “I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth – and truth rewarded me.”

At the bridge table, the truth is that we love certainties – lines of play or defense that are guaranteed to work. In this deal, is there a way for South to make sure of six no-trump, given that clubs are not breaking 5-0?

South’s two-diamond rebid was fourth-suit gameforcing.

When North bid four hearts, he showed a minimum opening bid. With extras he would have controlbid (cue-bid) four clubs.

South signed off in six no-trump to protect his

diamond holding, expecting North’s values to be in his long suits.

Declarer starts with 10 top tricks: two spades, five hearts, one diamond and

two clubs. His plan should be to win four club tricks – but how?

The club nine in South’s hand makes getting four tricks a near-certainty.

After winning the first trick with his spade ace, declarer should play a club to dummy’s ace, then return a low club and cover East’s eight with his nine.

Here, that ends South’s problems.

But if his nine were to lose to the 10, the suit would be splitting 3-2 and the contract would be home.

Finally, if East shows out on the second round of clubs, declarer wins with his king and leads back through West’s queen up to North’s jack.

Note that six hearts can be made by taking the same safety-play. © 2014 UFS
