Staff at the center said students look forward to the food fight and other fun activities every year. Next up on the list of laughs that the Open Sesame Summer Fun crew has planned: a mud pit next month. RIGHT: Ellie Kemp, 6, is hosed down after the food fight. Last year’s food fight was even messier, with a variety of foods, so the teachers stuck to pasta and sauce this year. BELOW: Fistfuls of spaghetti go flying. For more photos, go to saukvalley.com,

MORRISON – The sister of a former Rock Falls detective charged with theft is among five people accused of dealing cocaine and mari-juana in the Sauk Valley for more than 2 years.

On May 17, members of a local drug task force seized drugs, three cars, and $17,248 in cash from the Sterling home of Violeta “Vio-let” Jaramillo, 45, and Jody Canas, 44, court records show.

That same day, Detective Sgt. Veronica Jaramillo, 43, was arrested and charged with theft and official misconduct, both felonies, for stealing $1,741 from the Rock Falls Police Department’s evidence vault, according to

Whiteside County Court records.Veronica Jaramillo, who resigned from the

police force May 27, is not mentioned in court documents detailing the purported drug conspiracy.

No charges had been filed in the drug con-spiracy as of Thursday afternoon, according to court and jail records and the state attor-ney general’s office.

OREGON – The man accused of stabbing a former Oregon business-man to death is charged with four counts of first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, Win-nebago County Court records show.

Byron native Joseph Pendergrass, 59, former owner of Jay’s Drive-In, was stabbed in the Advanced Medical Reha-bilitation parking lot on Windsor Road in Loves Park around 6:30 p.m., Loves Park police said in a news release. He was pro-nounced dead at Rock-ford Memorial Hospital.

Roland Romeo Breault, 52, of Rockford, was arrested a short time later. He is in Winnebago County Jail on $1 million bond, and has a hearing June 30.

Pendergrass owned Dusty Boots Saloon & Eatery in Rockford.

Before that, he owned the drive-in at 107 W. Washington St. for more than 20 years. He sold it to his niece, Vicky Wilken, and her hus-band Terry in 2006.

“Joe had a really d y n a m i c p e r s o n a l -ity and everyone liked him,” Terry Wilken said Thursday evening. “Whenever you are at a large gathering, it seemed like everyone wanted to talk to Joe. You only had a few min-utes, but you seemed to want more time.”

After the Wilkens took over the drive-in, Pen-dergrass financed it for a year so they could get the business going, he said.

“Those are the things about Joe that people don’t know. He always went above and beyond for the people he loved.”

The family has not yet made funeral arrange-ments, he said.

DEER GROVE – Coura-geous. That’s the word Chicago City Clerk Susana Mendoza used to describe many of the people she’s met on the campaign trail, as she seeks the office of state comptroller this November.

At the Democratic par-ty’s JFK Dinner on Thurs-day at Deer Valley Golf Club, she described the teachers from all socio-economic conditions, the home health care work-ers, and those most deep-ly wounded by the bud-get impasse that persists in Springfield.

“When I meet the dis-abled themselves, who continue on every sin-gle day, even despite the mounting challeng-es they face, I can sum it all up in one word: cou-rageous,” Mendoza, the event’s keynote speak-

er, said to the crowd of 100-plus.

“When I see this cour-age, it inspires me, and it fires me up. It inspires you, too. I know it does, to take on Gov. [Bruce] Rauner and his buddies.”

Mendoza is looking to dispatch Leslie Munger, whom Rauner appointed comptroller after the jar-ring death of Judy Baar Topinka on Dec. 10, 2014, weeks after she won a second term.

Mendoza bemoaned Munger’s penchant for saying she’s “proud to be Gov. Rauner’s wingman,”

and called for an objec-tive set of eyes on the state’s money.

“We need an inde-pendent check on Gov. Rauner, who will stand up, push back and say its unacceptable to have a demagogue,” Mendoza said. “Really simply, we need an independent, truth-telling fiscal watch-dog. Not a lapdog. We need someone he can’t fire when they tell him the way things need to be.”

The five speakers – Mendoza, U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos, state Rep. Mike Smiddy, Treasurer Mike

Frerichs, and Bill Butts, a candidate for a seat in the Illinois House’s 74th District – spent the bulk of their time attacking Republicans, from Gov. Rauner all the way up to presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Mixed in were occasion-al tributes to the United States’ 35th president, John F. Kennedy.

Bustos said she’s hon-

ored to serve with Joe Ken-nedy, Bobby Kennedy’s grandson, who was elect-ed to Congress in 2012, the same year as Bustos.

“He’s a tremendous young man who stands for the same things the Kennedys stand for: that opportunities are there for families and chil-dren,” she said.

“We’re celebrating one of the finest presidents

we Democrats have ever had – that our country has ever had,” Mendoza said. “What I truly love about the Kennedys is their commit-ment to service, but also, more importantly, that their great wealth and their status was not an excuse to do less for people. It was actually a reason to call upon yourself to find the best part of yourself to do more for people.”

MINNEAPOLIS

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – Prince died of an overdose of fentanyl, a powerful opi-oid painkiller that is up to 50 times more potent than heroin, autopsy results released Thursday show.

The findings confirm suspicions that opioids played a role in the death of the superstar musi-cian, who was found dead April 21 at his Minneapo-lis-area estate.

It was not immediately clear whether Prince had a prescription for the drug and, if not, how he obtained it. At least one friend has said he suffered from intense knee and hip pain from many years of stage performances.

The results raised the possibility that anyone who provided the drug illegally could face crimi-nal charges. Although the death was formally ruled an accident, that merely signified that it was not intentional and in no way precludes prosecution.

After Prince died, author-ities began reviewing whether an overdose was to blame and whether he had been prescribed drugs in the preceding weeks.

According to a one-page report released by the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, Prince administered the drug

himself on an unknown date. The office said the death investigation is complete, and it had no further comment.

C o n f i r m a t i o n t h a t Prince died of an opioid overdose was first report-ed by The Associated Press. The autopsy report was released hours later.

Fentanyl is a synthetic drug that has legitimate medical uses. It is also partly responsible for a recent surge in overdose deaths in some parts of the country. Because of its risks, it is tightly con-trolled by the Food and Drug Administration, but much of it is manufac-tured illegally.

Pain patients who have built up a tolerance to other prescription painkill-ers, or who have become addicted, sometimes seek out stronger drugs such as heroin or fentanyl.

More than 700 fentanyl-related overdoses were reported to the Drug Enforcement Administra-tion in late 2013 and 2014.

Prince, 57, died less than a week after his plane made an emergency stop in Moline for medi-cal treatment as he was returning from an Atlanta concert. The Associated Press and other media reported, based on anon-ymous sources, that he was found unconscious

on the plane, and first responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an anti-dote used in suspected opioid overdoses.

The autopsy was con-ducted the day after Prince’s body was found. When his body was exam-ined, he was 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighed 112 pounds and was dressed almost entirely in black. He had scars on his left hip and right lower leg. The report did not say whether those scars were evidence of any past surgery to relieve pain.

The focus of the investi-gation will now probably turn to determining who supplied the fentanyl and whether the sources were legitimate or illegal, said Gal Pissetzky, a Chicago-based attorney who has represented multiple cli-ents facing drug charges. He has no link to Prince.

Authorities might also look to the singer’s asso-ciates.

“The investigation may expand to people who surround him,” Pissetz-ky said. “If fentanyl was obtained illegally, I don’t think Prince would have gone out to meet some-one in a dark alley to get the substance.”

If a street dealer was the source, identifying that person will not be easy.

“It’ll be very, very diffi-cult,” he said. “These guys don’t write receipts, and they change phones all the time.”

Tribune News Service

The Consumer Financial Pro-tection Bureau released a set of sweeping proposals Thursday aimed at reshaping the market for payday loans and other types of expensive credit that both the agency and consumer advocates call “debt traps.”

The proposed regulations come after years of preparation by the bureau, which since 2013 has released several reports criti-cal of the payday-lending indus-try.

The rules would limit the num-ber of payday loans a consumer can take out each year, change how lenders collect payments and require them to do a more thorough review of borrowers’ finances to make sure they can afford to repay their loans.

Though consumer advocacy groups back parts of the pro-posal, some are concerned the rules don’t go far enough, leav-ing ample opportunity for con-sumers to still get bad deals. Lenders, meanwhile, are chafing

at the proposal, which they say will add to their costs and make it unprofitable to make loans to many consumers.

CFPB Director Richard Cor-dray said lenders too often make loans knowing that borrowers will not be able to pay them off, locking them into a cycle of debt.

“If a lender can succeed when borrowers are set up to fail, it is a telltale sign of a malfunction-ing market,” he said. “When the balance between lenders and borrowers is knocked askew,

the ‘win-win’ dynamic found in healthy credit markets disap-pears and puts consumers at great risk.”

At the heart of the proposal is a requirement that lenders determine that a borrower has the ability to repay. That means lenders will have to look at a borrower’s income and sub-tract bills, rent and other living expenses to determine whether there’s enough left over to afford loan payments.

The bureau wants to ensure

borrowers won’t pay off a pay-day loan, then find that they don’t have enough money to make other payments, forcing them to take out another loan – the kind of “debt trap” it is trying to end.

The agency is seeking com-ments from interested parties and the general public on the proposals before final regula-tions are issued. Comments are due by Sept. 14. The final rules are likely to go into effect early next year.

Cat case not being treated as hoarding

ROCK FALLS

BUSINESS

How to helpHappy Tails has set up

a GoFundMe account seeking to raise $1,300 to help with the cats’ medical expenses. There will be a link to the account on the Happy Tails Facebook page.

Each cat needs shots, neuter/spay, microchip-ping, flea treatments, and FIV testing. Some cats will also need medication and special treatment.

Donations also can be dropped off or mailed to the shelter, 1408 McNeil Road, Rock Falls IL 61071.

Call it a premonition come true or, perhaps more accurately, deliv-ered upon. One uttered by her social studies teacher her freshman and sophomore year, Mike Pasley.

“He had a lot of faith in me and talked to me about how I have poten-tial to do something, but that it wasn’t going to be easy,” Powers said. “I go back to that and remember that he saw something in me, and that I want to make him proud.”

Pasley died unexpect-edly of natural causes March 23, 2013, at age 47.

“Whether it’s what he said, or any of the things my teachers have told me like that, I don’t want people to have said things like that in vain,” Powers said. “I want to bring them to fruition.”

Math teacher Cindy Carlson had Powers all 4 years – in geometry, algebra II, precalculus and calculus.

“As a teacher, I’m always trying to chal-lenge my kids, and she challenged me in chal-lenging her,” Carlson said. “When my students ask me questions, I often respond with, ‘Why?’ They often mock me. But Delaney asked me ‘Why?’ all the time.

“That curiosity is what gives her such poten-tial.”

Powers, the daughter of Chris and Cindy Karlson and Steve and Nicole

Powers, plans to study early childhood educa-tion and earn her mas-ter’s in speech language pathology. She prefers the opportunity to help on a one-on-one basis over a classroom setting.

She envisions herself working in a neona-tal care unit, as speech pathologists often help premature newborns with feeding.

“Helping children get off to the best start in their lives is the most rewarding thing I can do,” she said.

“When you’re in a field like that, it’s not about glory,” Carlson said. “It’s about doing what you’re put on this earth to do.”

She clued Powers into the full-ride possibil-ity, wrote her a letter of

recommendation and admits she badgered her daily, asking “Did we get it? Did we win?”

“That’s kind of a win as a teacher,” she said.

She’s had a lot to cel-ebrate this year – albeit somberly.

“Her whole class was a lot like her, and I think curiosity – the sort of curiosity Delaney has – is contagious,” she said. “Sometimes it’s not always the coolest thing to do – to keep asking questions. I will miss this class a lot.”

During high school, Powers participated in volleyball, dance team, the arts and Spanish Honor Society, and also served as secretary and treasurer of the Nation-al Honor Society, in

addition to being stu-dent council president. She also volunteered as a religion education teacher.

When she gets home from college orienta-tion, she’ll get cranking on her two summer jobs: waitressing and hosting at Long Branch Saloon in Amboy – as soon as it reopens after storm damage over the Memo-rial Day weekend closed it down – and as day care coordinator at Wood-haven Lakes in Sublette.

Did we mention her school will be complete-ly paid for?

“I get really antsy if I don’t have something to do,” she said. “I need something to occupy my time so I don’t overthink things.”

It isn’t being treated as a hoarding situation because the cats were being cared for out-doors.

“A man had been taking care of the neighborhood strays, and cats multiply quickly,” Scott said.

Chief Tim Morgan the situation isn’t really a police matter, and he just notified county officials after it was brought to his attention by the building department.

“We’re looking at it as a code enforcement issue that became a public health issue,” Morgan said.

In Sterling, it’s a code violation to own more than four pets, and if someone is caring for strays, the animals are considered to be theirs.

The Whiteside Coun-ty Health Department, which usually doesn’t deal with picking up strays, was contacted because of the unusual circumstances.

“The person who had been feeding the cats was leaving the home, and all of these cats would be running around with no food, so Chief Morgan said it had gotten to a point where it was a pub-lic health issue,” said Beth Fiorini, Whiteside County public health administra-tor.

Scott said, that under the Illinois Animal Con-trol Act, counties aren’t responsible for stray and feral cats unless someone is bitten or in a threaten-ing situation.

“People can bring them in, or can get a trap, but the funds we receive are for euthanizing animals,” Scott said.

The county has a spay-neuter voucher program that is funded by the extra $15 registration charge assessed to owners of unaltered dogs. Scott said those funds were gone in March.

The caretaker already was gone and the house vacant when Animal Con-

trol began its efforts to pick up the cats.

Included in the mix are 13 kittens, some only 2 weeks old, that Happy Tails and its veterinarian are working feverishly to save, after being contact-ed by Animal Control.

“We can’t even find the mothers of these kittens, and most of them have eye infections that can blind them at that age,” Happy Tails Manager Donald Czyzyk said.

The shelter wants to do everything it can to save the cats and eventually put them up for adoption, but space and medical costs are issues.

“We already have 50 cats, which is more than we’d like to have, and adoptions and funding are down this year,” Czyzyk said. “It’s sad that the shelter, that has no city funding, must save the lives of these ani-mals.”

He plans to reduce the cost of kittens, which is now $85, he said. It will be a couple of weeks before any of the kittens at the shelter, even the ones there before this situation, will be ready for adoption.

Czyzyk said he has made arrangements with PetSmart to house a few of the adoptable cats that were previously at the shelter. He also plans to schedule several special adoption events in the coming weeks.

I n Illinois’ nearly 200-year history, the recent days at the Capitol may ultimately

rank among the sorriest.Lawmakers and Gov. Bruce

Rauner postured, lectured, squabbled, and took “actions” that were thinly veiled political ploys as the legislative session ground to its scheduled con-clusion at midnight Tuesday. What they didn’t do, for the second year in a row: Pass a budget.

On Wednesday, the fallout was bleak.

Schools contemplated the real possibility of not being able to open, or stay open, without funding. Never mind that the Legislature once again frittered away the opportu-nity to meaningfully address the very real inequities and disparities between commu-nities’ school funding, based on wealth. Illinois now finds itself scrambling to provide any funding at all – a ludicrous pre-dicament.

In a statement issued Wednesday, Monsignor Michael M. Boland, president of Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, said it was “unsustainable” for the organization to keep absorbing $2 million a month of unpaid state funding. “This is not a matter of politics, it is a mat-ter of people’s lives,” Boland’s statement said.

Equally dire words came from University of Illinois President Timothy Killeen. In a state-ment, he warned that “all options are on the table as we go forward – layoffs, reductions of academic programs, closure of units, and cuts in a health-care enterprise that provides critical care to underserved populations in Chicago.”

Even the Department of Cor-rections was issuing an emer-

gency procurement – seeking funding to buy the dough base used to make bread to feed the state’s prisoners.

The list could go on and on. No community has been untouched by this fiasco of state government and abdica-tion of leadership. People have lost their jobs. Business own-ers’ livelihoods are threatened from non-payments. The most needy among us live at risk of slipping through a frayed and fragile safety net.

THE SAD THING IS, Gov. Rauner and the legislative leaders are all too aware of what’s happening because of their failure to reach a deal. The pleas for help, the descrip-tions of the consequences have been articulated loud and clear

over the past year.But in the final chaotic days

of the session, progress was elusive.

Instead, what citizens saw was a governor who said he wouldn’t consider a stopgap budget when Democratic lead-ers proposed it – but then, late on Memorial Day, floated that very option. It was then Demo-crats’ turn to say it couldn’t be done, there wasn’t enough time.

That came from House Speaker Michael Madigan, who before had seen no problem with introducing a 500-page budget bill and having the House vote on it barely 2 hours later. That bill, by the way, was the budget that spent $7 billion more than the state expects to take in. Late Tuesday night, in

a break among Democrats, the Senate soundly rejected the Madigan bill, which Rauner had promised to veto.

Harsh rhetoric flew. In a Tues-day news conference – called 7 hours before the session ended – Rauner denounced legislative leaders, calling the session a “stunning failure” and saying, “The Democrats have spent our state into the toilet for 30 years. We’re like a banana republic.”

Rauner’s right about the “stunning failure” part. But he continues to operate from the same playbook, the one that helped produce the standoff that began last fall. Surely his much vaunted business acu-men would teach him that repetition of the same strategy will lead to the same results. He

has to recognize that he must compromise.

Hope, if any can be mustered, lies with the rank-and-file members of the Legislature. They must continue to work together and move their lead-ers into a reality check, toward solutions instead of political games.

Illinois cannot keep spending more than it takes in. Period. The state can’t escape this morass without some new rev-enue, which even the governor has acknowledged. But it has to make hard choices and change its ways.

Before adjourning, the House and Senate passed resolutions for “continuous session” over the summer, meaning lawmak-ers must be prepared to return to Springfield if summoned by Madigan or Senate President John Cullerton.

That work must begin, and must begin immediately.

IN THE MEANTIME, here’s what citizens can and should do.

First, get mad, if by some miracle, you aren’t already.

But don’t just get mad �– take action. Tell the governor, legislative leaders and your representatives that enough is enough.

You can call Gov. Rauner’s office at 217-782-0244. Madi-gan’s office is 217-782-5350. Cullerton’s office is 217-782-2728.

You can reach your senator and representative through the switchboard, 217-782-2000. If you don’t know who they are, you can look them up in the “Voters” section at the Illinois Board of Elections website.

Tell them what you think. Tell them you’ll keep watching.

But most of all, tell them you’ll vote in November, and do it. And remember what you saw this spring and summer as you make your choices.

THE READER’S VOICE

Glad that local library still has plenty of books

DIANE MARKELDixon

Yesterday, I dreamed there were no books in the library.

When I was in high school in Rockford, I worked at a branch of the public library – a storefront with a main room for adult books and a large double room for children. I hadn’t thought about that library for decades.

Then I dreamed I was back. The main room now had plants, lots of color, a couple of kiosks with computers, and people milling about.

But there were no book-shelves, no books. I wan-dered into the children’s section. No books. Only desks with computers.

Then, along one wall, I saw shelves of books. But when I got closer, I dis-covered only wallpaper with pictures of book-shelves.

I woke up so sad. There were no books in the library. Then I saw the book I had been reading

before I fell asleep. The book was from the Dixon Public Library.

The Dixon library does have computers. But it also has lots of books. I’m glad the library has com-puters. I typed this letter on one of those comput-ers.

And I’m glad there are books for people like me who like to have the book in hand and curl up to read, turning the page and hearing the rustle of paper. No batteries, no recharging, no download-ing. Just a perfect rectan-gle full of ideas and pos-sibilities.

I hope libraries will always have books. Wall-paper in homage to the past just isn’t enough.

Members of the 1644th Transportation Company who were mobilized in 1990 and subsequently deployed to Southwest Asia in 1991 are on track to hold a 25-year reunion celebrating their return

from deployment.While approximately

85 percent of those unit members have been accounted for, after 25 years, nearly 20 are not.

If you are or know of unit members from this d e p l o y m e n t , p l e a s e call Larissa Lewis at 205-643-8737 or email d s 2 5 r e u n i o n @ y a h o o .com, which is the reunion account.

In addition, if you would like to support the reunion effort, we are seeking either monetary donations or other items to support our family picnic at 11 a.m. Sunday, June 26, at Centennial Park in Rock Falls.

Please use the same contact information to receive further informa-tion.

EDITORIAL | WHAT WE THINK

I n the wake of Memo-rial Day, we stand in awe of the many

community-minded people whose efforts help to enrich the som-ber holiday.

Such people help to spruce up cemeter-ies, adorn graves with flowers, and place U.S. flags on gravesites. They attend memorial servic-es, and some participate in them.

Some people even go above and beyond.

We speak of several Dixon area men in par-ticular who were fea-tured in recent Sauk Val-ley Media stories.

We salute Pat Gorman, vice president of the Lee County Historical and Genealogical Society, and those who have supported his project to restore or replace cast-iron Grand Army of the Republic stars at the graves of Dixon veterans in Oakwood Cemetery.

The 5-year project

restored 192 stars and replaced 125, for a grand total of 317!

Thus, the memories of soldiers who served in the War of 1812, Mexi-can-American War, and Civil War were honored anew.

We also salute John Rich of Dixon, who took on a project at the burial grounds adjacent to the former Lee County Poor Farm site between Dixon and Eldena.

Rich purchased a new sign for the burial grounds, where 102 indigent people were interred between 1855 and 1944 – some of them likely military veterans, he believes.

Rich also trimmed grass and weeds and planted flags on gravesites for Memorial Day.

Thus, the memories of county residents, consid-ered paupers at the time, have been brought to the forefront once more.

Gorman and Rich dem-

onstrate a dedication to the memories of our forebears that is admi-rable.

We must add another group of people who are involved in admirable work.

These are the men and women who do what they can to help military veterans and disadvan-taged individuals and families while they are still among us.

Services provided by the government, various charitable organizations, and local volunteers do much to improve the lives of veterans and those with low incomes or no incomes.

Homeless shelters, food pantries, and various United Way and governmental programs are among the services that make a positive dif-ference.

In challenging eco-nomic times, such work is vital. Thank you, and please keep it up.

Enriching memories, lives is admirable work

Continuing standoff has serious consequences for future of the stateThe State Journal-RegisterEditorial Board, Springfield

AP/Seth PerlmanA photo taken Tuesday shows the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield as state law-makers pressed ahead on the final day of the spring legislative session. After fail-ing again to approve a state spending plan, Rauner and Democratic leaders in the Illinois Legislature look to move past a chaotic night and persuade voters the other side is to blame for the state’s enormous mess. But there’s huge political risk for both sides leading up to the November election.

DAY TRIP | GALENA

Sometimes, it’s OK if your plans are still up in the air – that’s where all the fun is in Galena

GALENA – Later this month, the skies above Eagle Ridge Resort & Spa will be filled with color as the Great Galena Balloon Race spends 3 days on the ground and in the air.

More than just a race, the event, which first took off in 2002, also helps children. All proceeds will go for research in the quest for a cure for juvenile diabetes and to Camp Hertko Hollow in Boone, Iowa, which is for diabetic children.

The hot air balloons race at 6 p.m. June 17, 5:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. June 18, and 5:30 a.m. June 19. But if the races don’t float your boat, there’s plenty of other events, too – the Night Glow, for example, in which operators fire up their burners for a delightful display of glowing balloons set against the night sky. Don’t miss it at 8:30 p.m. on June 17 and 18.

Inflatables for children and food and beverages are available from 5 to 9 p.m. June 17 and 18. Among the food choices are hot dogs, walking tacos, burgers, soft drinks, wine and beer.

From 5 to 10 p.m. an added attrac-tion is live music. The Wundo Band performs Friday and the Swingin’ Doors takes the stage Saturday.

Those with their feet firmly on the ground can check out the classic car

shown from 6 to 8 p.m., also on Satur-day.

Tethered hot air balloon rides are offered from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday for all ages. They last a few minutes and take riders up 30 to 40 feet. The cost is $5 per person.

As with all outdoor events, the weather can interfere, so be prepared to encounter time changes.

The race is a cash event, so credit and debit cards are not accepted. However, the general store and the inn at Eagle Ridge have ATMs.

Although not offered as part of the race, those who would like to experi-ence a longer and higher hot air bal-loon ride, should check out Galena On The Fly Inc. Passengers must be at least 4 feet tall and age 6 or older. Information can be found at buy-aballoonride.com or 800-690-1287. Call for pricing. The launches gener-ally occur near the resort.

The resort itself offers overnight stays, golf, hiking and bike trails, kayaking on Lake Galena and fishing opportunities. Details can be found at eagleridge.com or by calling 800-892-2269. Its Woodlands Restaurant serves brunch every Sunday. And in the winter, it’s known for skiing.

If all that’s not enough to keep you busy, nearby Galena has plenty of food, shopping and historical sites to explore.

Former O.J. in-law working on true-crime program


Because there is no such thing as too much true-crime program-ming, especially when O.J. Simpson is involved, Denise Brown, sister of the late Nicole Brown Simpson, is developing an unscripted true-crime series with Peacock Pro-ductions, a division of NBC News.

In the series, “Brown and a team of experts will investigate all sides of the story in cases where jus-tice has been called into question,” according to a release from NBC News.

“Denise has expe-rienced first-hand the com-plexities of the criminal justice system,” noted Melody Shafir, vice president of development for Pea-cock Productions, in the statement. Brown testi-fied against her former brother-in-law at his trial in 1995, recounting inci-dents in which she said O.J. Simpson had been verbally and physically abusive to his ex-wife, and she has since been involved in advocacy on behalf of domestic vio-lence victims.

Peacock Productions is a division of NBC News that produces unscripted series and specials for a variety of networks, including the true crime-oriented Investigation Discovery, which is cur-rently producing a six-part series that will make the case for Simpson’s innocence.

A spokesperson for Pea-cock said the company is currently in talks with several networks regard-ing the series.

The news arrives amid a revival of interest in the notorious 1994 murder and ensuing trial sparked by the acclaimed FX miniseries “The People vs. O.J. Simpson: Ameri-can Crime Story.” ESPN’s nearly 8-hour docuseries, “O.J.: Made in America” premieres June 11 and is already receiving ecstatic reviews. The Esquire Net-work also re-broadcast 12 hours of the trial in April.

The success of non-O.J. true-crime series such as Netflix’s “Making a Mur-derer” and HBO’s “The Jinx” have also contrib-uted to TV’s true-crime trend. NBC is planning a “Law & Order” anthology series that will dramatize real-life cases, begin-ning with the Menendez brothers. Meanwhile CBS is developing an unscript-ed look at the JonBenet Ramsey killing.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Dear Abby,My parents and I live

on opposite coasts of the United States. I have visit-ed them many times over the years. I’d like them to visit me, but my mother refuses to travel. (She is healthy and not scared of flying or traveling.)

At first, she said she didn’t have the money, so I offered to pay for the ticket and lodging here in California. Her next excuse was she didn’t have the time off, so I suggested she request it months in advance, or travel during her com-pany’s annual 2-week shutdown. She wouldn’t consider it.

My sister, who lives in the South, has had the

same problem with Mom. We have told her how it makes us feel and asked her why she won’t travel to either of us. Mom just mumbles that she knows how we feel, but she will give us no reason. Even Dad has become fed up with Mom’s inertia, so he came to visit me on

one trip and my sister on another.

Can you offer any sug-gestions?

– Puzzled in Palo Alto

Dear Puzzled,Yes. Accept that your

mother might simply be most comfortable in her own environment, and stop personalizing her refusal to travel. Enjoy your father’s visits when he is able to come.

You and your sister are good, caring children. But your mother has an idiosyncrasy, and you will have to accept it because you have done everything you can.

Dear Abby,I am planning my wed-

ding. It is making me more anxious than I expected. My fiance and I live together and already have many of the items a newly married couple would usually get as gifts. So, as of now, we are not registered anywhere. What is the best way to ask for monetary gifts instead?

– Anxious Bride in Virginia

Dear Anxious Bride,While traditionally it is

not acceptable to blatantly ask for money – and cer-tainly not on a wedding invitation – some couples open a bank account to be used for a down payment on a house or a special honeymoon “in lieu of gifts.” The information

can be conveyed verbally or on your wedding web-site.

Dear Abby,My girlfriend bleached

her hair blond for a spe-cial event, but recently changed it back to her natural black color. She turned me on even more as a blonde, but I’m not sure how to tell her. Would I be out of line to ask her to go blond again for me?

– Likes Her Blond in New York

Dear Likes Her Blond,The time for you to have

raved about how much you liked her “new look” was before she went back to her natural color. For

someone to go from dark to blond, then dark to blond again can be dam-aging to the hair – not to mention expensive to maintain.

You can ask, I suppose. But she might not be will-ing to go along with it. And if that’s the case, you’re just going to have to love her the way God made her.

P.S. You could buy her a blond wig to wear on “special occasions.”

MUSIC

Paul Simon

New album is a sonic adventure

NEW YORK (AP) – Look at the liner notes on Paul Simon’s new disc, “Stranger to Stranger,” and it seems like a laboratory of exotic instruments. Musicians use a mbira, a bamboo marimba, cloud cham-ber bowls, a chrom-

elodeon, a zoomoozo-phone – and a cheap clock.

It’s an album as notable for its sound as its songs, without

the feel of an academic exercise. Simon, at 74, is more adventurous musi-cally at an age many peers are content to ride on their reputations.

“There’s no point in resting on laurels,” said Simon, whose Manhat-tan office displays both of his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame trophies side by side. “You’re either interested in an idea, in which case you pursue it, or you have no ideas or aren’t interested in pursuing ideas. ... Rest is indicated by a sign on a staff.”

Busting beyond his folk-rock roots is not new for Simon, an impulse that has become more pro-nounced in the past few decades following his work with African musicians on “Grace-land” and Brazilians in “The Rhythm of the Saints.” It hasn’t always been smooth; the success of “Grace-land” opened a debate about cultural appro-priation.

“It’s not like I set out to explore,” he explained. “There’s a connection that I’m following that pushes me toward some pleasing sound that I can barely imagine, so I go looking for it.”

For the percussive “Stranger to Stranger,” released today, Simon was initially intrigued with flamenco music and the use of hand-claps. Through his son, Simon met and

collaborated with Italian producer Digi G’Alessio, who records under the name Clap! Clap! Old recordings of the vocal group the Golden Gate Quartet are used to ghostly effect. But Simon’s most intrigu-ing journey took him to Montclair State Univer-sity in New Jersey.

At the time Montclair housed a collection of instruments created by the late Harry Partch, a composer who worked with instruments that had smaller tuning dif-ferences than is typical. Simon brought a por-table studio in to record instruments like the cloud chamber bowls – glass-shaped bowls that hang from a wooden frame and produce a haunting sound, said Robert Cart, director of Montclair’s John J. Cali School of Music.

Simon was the only popular musician to explore the Partch instruments in the 15 years they were housed at Montclair, Cart said. They’ve since moved to the University of Wash-ington following a care-taker’s death.

Simon believes he has an unusual songwrit-

ing process, connecting sounds together to see if they fit and bringing in lyrics later. Here, his observational songs muse on mortality, mental health, insom-nia, romance and an overzealous security guard.

In “Wristband,” the narrator is a musician who sneaks out of a concert hall for a smoke and isn’t allowed back in because he lacks the evidence that he belongs backstage. Together with “The Werewolf,” they contain a quality not always present in music: humor. The Milwaukee man he describes in “The Werewolf” had “a fairly decent wife,” he sings. “She kills him – sushi knife.”

“I’ve always had that in my music,” he said. “A lot of it has been in there and people don’t know that I’m kidding. My mind works in comedy a lot but my voice is not a comedic voice.”

Later in the album, Simon guesses that it took dozens of takes for him to get the right read on a 12-letter obscenity that the song “Cool Papa Bell” even concedes is “an ugly word.” The very

surprise of it alters the song’s mood.

Simon is heading out on tour, crafting a show with a mixture of the old and new. He under-stands the need for crowd-pleasing favor-ites, even for something he doesn’t particularly like (“You Can Call me Al”). There are enough new songs from the past decade that go over well in concert, he said.

He’s toured with Sting and done a “Graceland” reunion tour over the past few years. Don’t expect any reunions with estranged partner Art Garfunkel. “I would have been happy enough to sing with Artie if it would have been pleasurable,” he said.

When he finishes a new disc, Simon won-ders whether it will be his last. But then the cycle of creativity begins again.

“Six months later you have an idea, and you do begin,” he said. “That’s happened to me my whole life. From that, I infer that it’s part of my nature to do that. But it’s not an automatic thing that will happen forever.”

He’s no stranger to experimentingMUSIC | PAUL SIMON

Song is Justin time for summer

NEW YORK (AP) – If Spotify’s predictions are correct, Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling” will be a summer song you can’t stop singing.

The streaming music service revealed its picks Thursday for the songs likely to be unavoidable this season, including Ariana Grande’s “Into You” and “One Dance” by

Drake featuring Wizkid and Kyla.

Spotify used analy-sis from staff members and experts, along with streaming data, perfor-mance on its viral chart and social media buzz.

The list of 10 tracks likely

to become hits over the next few months includes top artists like Fifth Har-mony, Jason Derulo and Calvin Harris and upcom-ing acts like Desiigner. Country artist Keith Urban made the list with his track “Wasted Time.”

Violeta Jara-millo stands in front The Grapevine Wine and Martini Bar at 205 W. Second St. in Rock Falls in 2014, prior to its open-ing. Jara-millo, the sister of a former Rock Falls detec-tive charged with theft, is among five people accused of dealing cocaine and marijuana in the Sauk Val-ley for more than 2 years.

CONSPIRACYCONTINUED FROM A1

t

Report: Drug money linked to business purchase

Jody Canas has a criminal history in Whiteside County that involves drugs and violence.

• In May 1989, he was charged with felony intimida-tion and misdemeanor assaulting an officer, resisting an officer and interfering with emergency communica-tion. He was sentenced to a year’s probation for the officer-involved charges; the other two were dropped.

• In April 1990, a jury found him guilty of armed violence, aggravated battery and battery for cutting the throat of another man during a fight. He was sen-tenced to 14 years in prison.

• In December 1996, he was charged with aggra-

vated battery causing great bodily harm and aggra-vated battery in a public place, both felonies, and misdemeanor battery/making physical contact. He was sentenced to 2 years’ probation on the misde-meanor; the felonies were dismissed.

• In September 1999, he was charged with three felonies: possession of 15 to 100 grams of cocaine, manufacture or delivery of 30 to 500 grams of mari-juana, and possession of 30 to 500 grams of marijua-na. He was found guilty of the latter charge, the least serious of the three, and sentenced to 2 years.

Canas’ criminal history

A spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office would not say if and when charges would be filed, citing the ongoing inves-tigation.

The State Police Black-hawk Area Task Force is investigating, and based much of its findings on monitored phone conver-sations and other surveil-lance.

The attorney general’s office is supervising the investigation and would handle any prosecution.

Violeta Jaramillo and Canas, her live-in boy-friend, are accused in the documents of selling cocaine and marijuana, and of using the proceeds to buy cars, real estate, drugs and The Grapevine Wine and Martini Bar, which Jaramillo owns at 205 W. Second St. in Rock Falls. Investigators say the pair often had the help of others they describe as co-defendants in the con-spiracy.

Police confiscated more than 2 pounds of mari-juana, worth more than $20,000, and 2 ounces of cocaine from the Sterling home on Timber Drive owned by Violeta Jara-millo. The three vehicles seized were a black 2014 Corvette Stingray convert-ible, a black 2006 Chevro-let Impala, and a white 1991 Pontiac Firebird.

According to a task force report explaining why officers thought they had probable cause to take those assets, which was filed May 26, upheld by a judge the next day, and obtained by Sauk Valley Media this week:

In February 2014, Canas was identified as a sus-pect in a potential drug conspiracy. About 2 years later, between Dec. 16 and March 7, three con-trolled cocaine buys, with a combined street value of about $4,100, were made from Canas at the Timber Drive home.

Then in April, acting on “an intercept of telephon-ic wire communications,” police seized 1.75 pounds of marijuana, worth about $20,400, from Lynn H. “Scootie” Robinett of Dixon, who investigators say acquired the drugs for Canas, “to minimize his [Canas’] contact with law enforcement.” No record of charges against Robi-nett could be found in this case as of Thursday.

On April 18, Canas is recorded meeting with “co-conspiring partners” at The Grapevine, when the bar was closed, “to exchange currency relat-ed to the ongoing drug enterprise,” the report said.

When task force mem-bers searched the Timber Drive home on May 17, they found $17,248 in rub-ber-banded bundles in a shaving kit in the bath-

room, as well as 2 ounces of cocaine and 2 pounds of pot. Much of the mari-juana was in plain view, and the house smelled of it, they said.

Task force members note that Jaramillo claimed about $100,000 in income in 2015, includ-ing a $9,000 loss on the bar, while the only verifi-able income for Canas, who was shot in the face in 2003 and is vision-impaired, is receiving Social Security disabil-ity payments and food stamps.

And yet, according to the documents:

• On April 20, 2007, Canas bought a house in Harmon, assessed at $91,000, from Tammy Wilson for $50,000 in an unadvertised sale. Canas sold the home on Feb. 3, 2014, to Rawshu’a Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

On May 6 and 7, Rawshu’a owner Bran-don “Joshua” Carter and Canas were recorded talk-ing on the phone about a parcel being delivered to Wilson and eventually to Canas that investigators believe contained mari-juana.

No record of charges against Wilson or Carter could be found in this case as of Thursday.

(In February 2014, Cart-er was charged in White-side County with posses-sion of more than 2,000 but less than 5,000 grams of marijuana; he pleaded guilty in June 2015 and was sentenced to 4 years’ probation.)

• On Jan. 15, 2010, Vio-leta Jaramillo bought the home on Timber Drive. According to online Remax records, it sold for $212,000.

• On Sept. 30, 2013, Canas bought a house on West 20th Street in Rock Falls for $28,500, financing only about $7,600. He now rents it to Donald Godare, 54, also described as a co-defen-dant. Again, SVM could find no record of charges against Godare.

• On June 19, 2014, Vio-leta Jaramillo bought the bar; records show she obtained a $65,000 bank mortgage.

• On May 20, 2015, she bought the Stingray, using $5,000 in cash, a $16,000 personal check and a $14,000 check from the bar account – even though she reported the bar was losing money.

• On Oct. 8, Violeta Jara-millo bought a home on West 12th Street in Ster-ling for $42,000; she since has been making regular $1,000 cash payments to the owner for $22,000 still owed.

• On May 25, Violeta Jaramillo paid a plumber $3,500 in cash for work at the bar.

In addition, Canas told task force members that the Stingray belonged to his “wife,” the Firebird

belonged to his mother, and the Impala belonged to Violeta’s parents.

Although the registered owner of the Firebird is his mother, Natividad Canas, and the registered owner of the Impala is the Jaramillos’ father, Apo-linar Jaramillo, both of Rock Falls, Canas used the Impala as his daily vehicle, including while making drug deals; spent several thousand dollars upgrad-ing the Firebird; and paid for maintenance, insur-ance and storage of the Stingray, the report said.

He also told task force members the home belonged to Violeta, as did the bar, although he is heard in taped phone conversations referring to the bar as his, and he also hired and directed servicemen to do repairs at the bar.

Task force member Inspector Douglas Wade, author of the report, noted that drug dealers often try to conceal their identities, have vehicles and other property listed in the names of others to conceal illicit financial or other activities, and use lower-level members of the conspiracy to handle drug transportation and transactions, all to limit

their exposure.Canas and Violeta Jara-

millo “knowingly share mutual investments,” Wade wrote, adding that he believes the $17,428 “constitutes drug pro-ceeds, and that Jody Canas and Violeta Jara-millo have used drug proceeds to purchase the vehicles mentioned above and real estate, to include The Grapevine Wine and Martini Bar.”

The two are represented by the Pignatelli & Associ-ates law firm in Rock Falls.

Mertes & Mertes law

firm in Sterling repre-sents Veronica Jaramillo, who has a preliminary hearing Monday in the theft case.

Veronica Jaramillo was the lead investigator in the Dec. 6 death of Paul Rodney Depotter, 27, of Rock Falls, who died of a fatal heroin overdose.

According to police doc-uments sent to Sauk Val-ley Media by his mother, Penny Depotter, 46, of Dixon, $1,741 was found on Depotter’s body in his Rock Falls apartment that day and was entered into

evidence. It’s the same amount Veronica Jara-millo is accused of taking.

Prosecutors say Jara-millo used the money she stole from the evidence vault, to which she had a key, to pay utility bills.

Jaramillo, a law enforce-ment officer for 11 years, is free on $20,000 bond.

All Whiteside County judges have recused themselves to avoid a possible conflict of inter-est; the case will be heard by 14th Judicial Circuit Associate Judge Ted Kut-sunis.

NUCLEAR POWER

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – Exelon Corp. said Thursday that it will shut two Illinois nuclear power plants after the Legisla-ture failed to approve a finan-cial-support plan, but an email obtained by The Associated Press indicates the company is enlisting employees in an ongoing, full-steam lobbying effort.

The Chicago-based power-provider announced it will shutter the Clinton Power Sta-tion in central Illinois on June 1, 2017, and the Quad Cities Gen-erating Station in Cordova will close June 1, 2018.

Exelon said it began the lengthy shutdown process because it can’t count on leg-islation that would extend state subsidies to nuclear generators producing reliable, carbon-free electricity that will help Illinois meet federal require-ments. Lawmakers adjourned their spring session Tuesday and, for the second consecu-tive year, failed flailing among Democrats and Republicans to secure a state budget stole all focus from plans to assist Exelon.

“Unfortunately, legislation was not passed, and now we are forced to retire the plants,” Exelon CEO and President Chris Crane said in a state-

ment. Together, the Quad Cit-ies site, which began operation in 1973, and Clinton, which reached full power in fall 1987, employ 1,500.

The two plants have lost a combined $800 million since 2009, according to Exelon, countering consumer groups’ complaints of “bailout” with a theme of fairness in a state where wind, solar and other

energy sources that don’t pro-duce harmful greenhouse gases are rewarded with subsidies.

Earlier Thursday, Crane’s email to employees with the news, obtained by the AP, included a plea that work-ers call a listed telephone line and record a message for Gov. Bruce Rauner and lawmakers in favor of the legislation.

The recorded greeting urges

callers to tell lawmakers that “if they take action immediately, they may be able to stop the clo-sures at the Clinton and Quad Cities plants and save your job.”

Exelon spokesman Paul Adams confirmed the closure decision is not irreversible, but released a statement saying that it would be possible “only in narrow circumstances, and as weeks pass, a reversal becomes more and more difficult.”

Experts disagree on whether shutting the plants would raise the price of electricity. Exelon points to a 2015 state report that found that closing them would pump regional whole-sale energy prices up 47 per-cent. Dave Lundy, director of the BEST Coalition opposing the plan, said price spikes are unlikely because of the amount of electricity produced in Illi-nois and the high cost to send it through jammed transmission lines in the Quad Cities.

The coalition claims the so-called Next Generation Energy plan would amount to an aver-age $3 per-month rate hike for ratepayers and a $7.7 billion windfall for Exelon over 10 years. Exelon puts the increase to rate-payers at 25 cents a month in exchange for future power sta-bility.

Democratic Attorney General

Lisa Madigan was unconvinced Thursday.

“Unfortunately, a highly prof-itable company is choosing to close plants because it hasn’t received a blank check to impose unfair and unnecessary rate hikes on Illinois consumers,” Madigan said in a statement.

But Sen. Donne Trotter, the Chicago Democrat sponsor-ing the bill, said it’s an essential step to ensuring clean, reliable energy long into the future. While the curtain fell on the legislative session before the players could reach agreement, Trotter said progress had been made in recent weeks and he’ll continue negotiating.

“Unfortunately, there are too many people running around with ‘The Simpsons’ idea of how nuclear plants run, and that they have no major role in our future,” Trotter said. “Experts around the world agree nuclear is a big part. Our greenhouse gases didn’t become a problem until they started ratcheting down the nuclear energy.”

Exelon’s process began with notification to the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion. The closures must be approved by organizations that operate the Midwestern elec-tric grid to ensure reliability is not jeopardized.

Paul Colletti /The Dispatch via AP The north entrance to the Exelon nuclear power plant is shown in October 2011 in Cordova. Exelon Corp. says it will close two Illinois nuclear plants after the Illinois Legislature declined to act on its request for financial support. The Chicago-based power provider said Thursday that it will close the Clinton Power Sta-tion in Clinton on June 1, 2017, and the Quad Cities Generating Station in Cordova on June 1, 2018.

EDWARDSVILLE


ST. LOUIS – Online retail giant Amazon is opening two fulfillment centers in Edwards-ville creating more than 1,000 jobs.

Each fulfillment cen-ter will have more than 700,000 square feet of space, Amazon said Thursday. One of the facilities will house large items such as TVs and kayaks and the other will have smaller items such as toys and electronics.

“ T h e p r o f e s s i o n a l staffs from the City of Edwardsville, Madison County and the State of Illinois worked seam-

lessly with our local developers to deliver a much needed employ-ment opportunity for our talented workforce,” Edwardsville Mayor Hal Patton said in a state-ment.

Edwardsville is about 20 miles northeast of St. Louis.

S e a t t l e - b a s e d A m a z o n r e c e n t l y announced the expan-s i o n o f i t s o p e r a -tions in Joliet, where it has 1,500 full-time employees and plans to add a new fulfill-ment center there with another 2,000 jobs.

“Illinois has been a great place to do busi-

ness for Amazon and we look forward to adding two additional fulfillment centers and creating another 1,000 ful l-t ime jobs with benefits on day one in the state,” Amazon’s vice president of North American operations Akash Chauhan said in a statement.

Amazon said it is cur-rently hiring to fill man-agement positions in Edwardsville.

“We’ll announce the start of hiring for our fulfillment associate roles in the coming weeks,” said Amazon spokesperson Nina Lindsey.

Four E. coli cases in linked to recall

CHICAGO (AP) – Illinois health officials say three cases of E. coli have been reported in the Chicago area and one in western Illi-nois linked to a nationwide recall of General Mills flour.

Illinois Department of Pub-

lic Health spokeswoman Melaney Arnold told the Chicago Tribune that the ill-nesses occurred in Chicago, suburban Cook County and McHenry County. Arnold says the western Illinois case was reported in Brown County.

Ten million pounds of General Mills flour were recalled Tuesday. The

company said 38 people were sickened from mid-December through May 3.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that half of the people used flour before getting sick, some of it a General Mills brand. General Mills said some also might have eaten raw dough or batter.

SOFTBALL | 3A GENOA-KINGSTON SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL | STERLING 3, HAMPSHIRE 0

BY CODY [email protected]

815-625-3600, ext. 5552@CodyCutter35

GENOA – Jayme Eilers had never been to a sectional final in a Ster-ling uniform.

Growing up having watched the successful Sterling softball teams of the past, the Golden Warriors freshman had been to many sec-tional finals as a spectator. Only now can she claim to help deliver her team into one.

Taking over for Golden Warriors starting pitcher Lexy Staples in the fifth inning, Eilers denied the Hampshire Whip-Purs any chance of a late-game comeback. She retired nine of 10 batters, striking out six, in a 3-0 Golden Warriors win in a 3A Genoa-Kingston Sec-tional semifinal.

Not only did Eilers and the Golden Warriors (34-5) advance to yet another sectional final, but they will see a familiar opponent: Marengo. It will be the fourth time in 5 years Sterling and Marengo will meet in the sectional title game.

“I’ve grown up watching the pro-gram and everything, and it feels pretty good,” Eilers said. “They didn’t make it as far as they wanted to last year, and we want to make it farther this year. It feels pretty good to go back to the Sweet 16.”

ROCHELLE – I had a feeling that the Rock Falls baseball

team was going to win. It didn’t matter the

opponent. I was just conditioned to think this way because, well, winning was all the team seemed to do this season. Each time I left the newsroom to cover a Rockets baseball game, I expected to see a win.

On Thursday against Sycamore in a semifinal at the Class 3A Rochelle Sectional, the Rockets didn’t win. It was one of those games where they just couldn’t get that timely hit. One

of those games where they couldn’t make that inning-ending play.

Those extra chances for the Spartans amounted to a 10-7 Rock Falls loss. Season over. Just like that.

GENOA – Originally scheduled to be played Saturday, the champi-onship game of the 3A Genoa-Kingston Section-al will be played at 4:30 p.m. today due to fears of bad weather.

That change in sched-ule means the Sterling Golden Warriors have less than 24 hours to turn their attention from Hampshire to Marengo, and a fourth meeting with the Indians for a sectional title in 5 years.

“Coming off a win, I think it will help us a lot,” Sterling left fielder

Hannah Escamilla said. “Coming off a win, I think it will be better than a day off because it’s real-life scenarios and not just a practice.”

Sterling coach Becki Edmondson feels it would have been nice to have a day to prepare, especially a day to pre-pare mentally, but thinks the team will be fine.

“We’re used to it all season long,” she said. “We play multiple games in a week, sometimes three in a row, so it’s not a big deal.”

Sterling will need to bring its bats to the sectional final.

Familiar face now awaits Warriors

@STyReynolds

ROCHELLE – If you’d have told Rock Falls baseball coach Donnie Chappell that his Rockets would score five runs in the first inning of Thurs-day’s Class 3A Rochelle Sectional semifinal, he’d have been pretty confi-dent in their chance to win.

But Sycamore’s ability to chip away – thanks in part to some uncharac-teristic play by the Rock-ets both in the field and at the plate – led to a stun-ning season-ending loss for Rock Falls.

The Spartans scored in every inning except the second, and a late surge – sparked by a home run and capped with another homer – sent Sycamore to a 10-7 victory at Creason Athletic Complex.

“We just picked a bad day to play our worst game of the season,” Chappell said. “Give them credit, because they hit the ball and put it in play, but we just didn’t make plays that we usu-ally make, and gave them

too many chances – and they took advantage.”

The f inal outcome seemed unthinkable after one inning of play, when Rock Falls (30-5) scored five runs on two hits,

three walks, two hit bats-men and a bases-loaded balk by Sycamore starter Jack Mizgalski to take a 5-1 lead. Rockets starter Quinton Matznick then retired the Spartans 1-2-3

in the top of the second on nine pitches.

But Mizgalski’s early struggles seemed to get the Rockets back on their heels. They managed just four hits the rest of the way, and often fell behind in counts by taking pitch-es even after Mizgalski found his control.

“We just couldn’t get any big hits, and we were tentative at the plate,” Chappell said. “We just didn’t hit, and they made some plays even when we did hit it hard.”

Raptors and head coach agree to 3-year, $18 million contract extension Thursday. Casey led Toronto the finals in the Eastern Conference.

Hitting at times came at a premium in wins over Rock Falls and Hampshire the past two games. The War-riors had one run off of three hits against freshman Payton Yanes in the regional champi-onship game, and got three runs off five hits to beat Joslyn Nelson and Hampshire.

Nelson set the War-riors down in order in the second and fifth, and a single by Lexy Staples led to a runner stranded at third to end the third inning. Ster-ling did not get many hits, but the hits it got were timely, and it did the little things to man-ufacture runs.

Erin Stroup reached on a dropped third strike and moved up to sec-ond on a sacrifice bunt in the first inning before doubles by Staples and Escamilla made it 2-0. Escamilla came charg-ing home on a Gretchen Gould fielder’s choice to third in the fourth inning, diving for the plate and reaching past Hampshire catcher Alyssa Snider for the third run.

“We have been doing better at our pitch selec-tion, which is really big for us,” Hannah Esca-milla said. “Once we get on base, we need to be smarter. I feel like for the most part, we have done that. Also, our defense has helped us out a lot and came through when we needed it to secure those runs.”

Now, the Warriors get a familiar opponent. The teams faced each other in March, a 5-2 Sterling win which saw the War-riors score three runs in the first and get a 4-for-4 performance at the plate

from Stroup. Marengo managed nine hits off of Staples and Maddie Cor-well in that game.

“They did hit the ball fairly well,” Escamilla said. “If we continue to have our defense the way it has been and we do better at the plate, then I think it will be OK.”

Sterling coaches have seen them play a few times as the Warriors and Indians reignite their friendly rivalry.

“We’ve done our homework, and we know that they’ve done their homework,” Edmondson said. “It’s

going to be a battle.”Marengo beat Sterling

2-1 in 2012 on its way to the state final. Sterling won 6-5 in 2013 and 6-2 in 2014, making it to the state tournament each of those seasons

It was only Sterling’s loss to Burlington Cen-tral in the sectional semifinal last year that prevented another meeting.

A win over Marengo would advance the Warriors to Mon-day’s supersectional at Hampshire to face either Antioch or Mun-delein Carmel.

Golden Warriors no stranger to MarengoFAMILIAR

CONTINUED FROM B1

t

Eilers and Staples combined to strike out 12 Whip-Purs, and each allowed only a single hit. Whip-Purs leadoff hitter Jasmine Lopez singled to lead off the fourth inning to break up a perfect game to that point.

However, Lopez was caught stealing second base with two outs by a throw from catcher Nadia Trujillo. The throw wound up being high over second base-man Emily Berogan’s head, but she caught the ball and wound her arm backward to touch Lopez on her right calf to end the inning.

“Not allowing anyone beyond second base is always less pres-sure for your defense,” Sterling coach Becki Edmondson said. “When there’s a runner on third, then a pitcher is worried about a passed ball and whatnot, and we have to change our pitch sequence. We didn’t have to do that, and it’s nice when you have other players making those big outs for the pitchers.”

The lone hit Eilers allowed came in the sixth inning, when Sarah Bowen led off with a dou-ble to right field. That didn’t faze the Golden Warrior reliever at all, as she retired the side on three strikeouts, then followed with a seven-pitch seventh inning to end the game with her 23rd save. Cleanup hitter Melissa Espar-za struck out swinging to end Hampshire’s season at 19-17.

Sterling’s pitching duo combined to strike out the first four hitters in Hampshire’s lineup six times.

“It really boosted my confi-dence,” Eilers said. “My spins were working today, and Lexy had struck a couple out, and that set this up. I knew that if my spins were working, I could do this.”

Staples helped her own cause in the first inning, driving in leadoff hitter Erin Stroup with a double to left-center field. Hannah Esca-milla then drove in Staples with a double of her own.

“[Hampshire pitcher Joslyn Nel-son] threw me two changeups and it was 2-0, so she had to throw me something good,” Staples said. “The whole time during practice, we’ve been working on slower pitching, waiting on the ball and exploding on the ball. I had to relax myself, because if I was too early for the ball, I would miss.”

Outside of the first inning, and an RBI fielder’s choice by Gretch-en Gould in the fourth inning

to plate a sliding Escamilla, the Golden Warriors struggled to find offensive production to their lik-ing. Nelson struggled with con-trol, but on a few occasions got Sterling hitters to hit balls outside the strike zone for easy outs.

Nelson got out of a fourth-inning jam with bases loaded and one out. Stroup hit a hard liner to shortstop Morgan Haefling, who threw to third base for the inning-ending double-play.

Sterling could only muster six hits off Nelson.

“We were looking to hit great,” Staples said. “We didn’t hit great against Rock Falls [in the regional championship], either. So I think once we get our bats to where we know what we can do with them, I think we can be good.

“If we get our bats going, I don’t think there’s anything that can stop us, honestly.”

SCOREBOARD

As the team sat in right field following the loss, some play-ers stared at the grass, others fiddled with their gloves. Some even watched Sycamore cel-ebrate. But all 14 heads snapped up when coach Donnie Chap-pell told his players that no one could take away all the wins they gained this season.

No one could take away their expectation to win, something they have earned through their play.

The Rockets won 30 games, and lost just five. They weren’t the team that would consistent-ly squeak out one-run games, or hang on by getting out of a late-inning jam, either – because they rarely put themselves in that position.

Sure, they won a regional semifinal game on a Reid Aker-man walk-off hit. But so often the Rockets didn’t need those heroics. So often the Rockets were the hunted.

This team dominated others on a regular basis. The pitching staff made opposing batters look silly. The offense hung crooked numbers on the scoreboard seemingly every game.

It has not been this way on the other boys sports teams. Noah Junis and Logan Pillars played on football teams that went 0-18 over the past two seasons. Junis, Pillars, ace pitcher James McFadden and walk-off hero Akerman played on the basket-ball team this winter that went

6-22. No. 4 batter Cooper Kil-berg played golf on a team that was 12th at sectionals.

But when these guys get together to play some baseball, they don’t do much losing.

“Baseball is something you look forward to at Rock Falls,” Pillars said. “We want to make it so all the guys coming up behind us want to play well. We do it for the guys before us, to play well for them.”

Added Junis: “It’s a different attitude. Everything is expected. We expect to win 30 games, win conference, win a regional, win sectionals and go to state. It’s just how it is and how it always has been.

“It’s the love of the game around here. When you’re a little kid and your parents take you to the high school baseball games, you see the success and it makes you want to be part of it.”

For a lot of these guys, baseball season is the few months when the Rockets get to unleash some payback. Losing so often is never fun. But playing baseball at Rock Falls means there is a good chance the losing will stop once the weather heats up.

“There’s that motivation to keep you going,” Kilberg said. “You endure. You wait all year long, waiting for the spring because you know something good is going to happen.”

The spring is when the Rockets get to dish out hits and collect wins. The spring is when they get to be the bad boys. And they made sure to take advantage.

Sycamore wiped out a chance at a sectional title, but it can’t take away those 30 wins. And no one can take away the Rockets’ expectation of winning.

No one can take away spring in Rock Falls.

MASONCONTINUED FROM B1

t

Sycamore (24-11) made it 5-3 with a sac fly and an RBI fielder’s choice in the third, then Nolan Moeller reached on an error and scored on another to give the Rockets a 6-3 lead after three innings.

Jason Wittenberg’s solo home run in the fourth cut the Sycamore deficit back to two at 6-4, then a two-out single in the fifth was followed by a double to right field by James Marcinowski, a ball that was hit hard but looked to be an out as Rock Falls’ Reid Akerman chased it down. But he hit the fence as the ball hit his glove, and it bounced away, and a hesitation in throwing the ball back into the infield allowed courtesy runner Zach Dugger to score.

Then, to compound matters, a throw from cutoff man Alex Cantu to third base to try and nail Marcinowski sailed high, and Marcinowski scam-pered home with the tying run.

“I took a 1-0 fastball in that at-bat that I should have hit, so I just wanted to put a good swing on the next strike he threw me,” Marcinowski said. “I thought it was going to be a flyout, because their right fielder got a great jump on it and tracked it down, but then I saw it on the ground and just kept going. After I slid into third, Coach told me to get up and run home, so I just took off.

“We weren’t going to fold or lay down once we got behind. We just stuck with it, had good at-bats, everybody contributed, and we never let up.”

Sycamore then broke the 6-6 tie in the top of the sixth. Matznick, now playing third, tried to barehand a two-out bunt by pinch hitter Tyler Didio, but couldn’t get a handle on the ball. Lead-off man Jordan Wright then singled right back up the middle past reliev-er Noah Junis, and Zach Carlsen followed with an RBI single to left. A wild pitch plated Wright, and all of a sudden the Rock-ets trailed 8-6.

“Everything was roll-ing for us early on, and we were on top of every-

thing,” Rock Falls senior first baseman Cooper Kil-berg said. “It was going so good, and after that it started falling off, and they just chipped away at us. After that first home run, it seemed like the transition of the momen-tum from us to them, and the outcome turned out to be not the way we wanted it.”

Rock Falls got back within 8-7 in the bottom of the sixth, and Pillars led off with a single, then Kilberg beat out a slow roller to third. Matznick bunted them over to second and third, then pinch hitter Bronson Mintun drove in cour-tesy runner Cameron Davis with a groundout to second. Moeller struck out looking to end the inning.

Sycamore then stuck in the dagger. Marcinows-ki singled with one out, then Tyler Maveus – who was 0-for-3 with three strikeouts to that point – smacked a two-run insur-ance homer to right-cen-ter to essentially pop the Rockets’ balloon.

Beaudoin came on to seal the deal, striking out the side in the bottom of the seventh on 14 pitches.

“We told the kids that the game is never decid-ed in the first inning or the last inning, but over the course of the whole game,” Sycamore coach Jason Cavanaugh said. “We told them to shake off that first inning and let it go, and they settled in and chipped away. It felt like that first home run was a turning point, and the guys just kept it going from there.”

It was an abrupt and unexpected exit for the senior-laden Rockets –

eight starters and 10 play-ers total recently gradu-ated – and tears flowed during and after a team huddle in short right field. But even before they left the diamond, the 12th graders were already put-ting their 4-year careers in perspective.

“To be able to spend this last 2½ months – and these last 4 years – with this team means every-thing to us,” Kilberg said. “I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with any other group of guys. A 30-win

season, another regional title, you can’t ask for better than that – except maybe to keep moving on and playing some more baseball.”

“We’ve been lucky to have a lot of really good teams here, and this group was one of those special ones,” Chappell said. “It’s a great group of kids, and they really lived up to the expectations the teams before them established, and kept the tradition going here at Rock Falls.”

THURSDAY’S SCOREBOARD

BY HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer

PARIS – Serena Williams’ chest was heaving between points. Her footwork wasn’t quite right. Mis-cue followed miscue, until she was a set and a break down in the French Open quarterfinals.

And as she so often does, Wil-liams came through when she needed to, moving closer to a record-equaling 22nd Grand Slam title by figuring out a way to beat Yulia Putintseva 5-7, 6-4, 6-1 on Thursday.

“I kept missing. Just misfiring. Honestly, at one point I didn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel,” the defending champion said. “I guess I was not the most positive mentally, but obviously I didn’t want to stop.”

How close was she to her earliest exit at a major since Wimbledon in 2014? Putintseva, who is from Kazakhstan and ranked only 60th, twice was a point from serving for the biggest victory of her career.

“I honestly didn’t think I was going to win that in the second set,” said Williams, who will face another unseeded opponent, 58th-ranked Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands, in the semifinals. “Somehow I did.”

Y e s , s o m e h o w , W i l l i a m s overcame not only a relentless

competitor in Putintseva, but also her own shakiness on a cloudy, chilly day that included a brief rain delay.

“The rallies were very long and very tough. She is not used to [this] in matches. Usually after four, five shots, the point is over,” said W i l l i a m s ’ c o a c h , P a t r i c k Mouratoglou.

And Williams must put in more work Friday against Bertens, who

like Putintseva has a tendency to extend points.

There is no rest for the weary at this wet-as-can-be French Open. If Williams gets to Saturday’s final, it will be her fourth consecutive day of play. The top-seeded man, Novak Djokovic, already will reach that total – Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday – when he meets No. 13 Dominic Thiem in their semifinal.

BY ANDREW SELIGMAN AP Sports Writer

CHICAGO – Kyle Hen-dricks is suddenly pitch-ing deep into games and dominating while he’s doing it. His latest outing was about as impressive as the complete game he threw in his previous start.

Hendricks was in con-trol for eight innings, and the Cubs backed him with four home runs, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 Thursday for their eighth win in nine games.

Javier Baez, Jason Heyward and Kris Bry-ant connected against 19-year-old Julio Urias (0-1). Anthony Rizzo hit a leadoff homer against J.P. Howell in the eighth as the major league-leading Cubs took three of four from the Dodgers.

Hendricks (4-4) allowed two runs and three hits, struck out six and walked one after going the dis-tance in his previous out-ing to beat Philadelphia.

“He knows he can do it now, and that really mat-ters,” manager Joe Mad-don said. “For the most part this year, we’ve gone five, six-plus with him, maybe a seven. But the other day was the

perfect opportunity to let him go deep into the game because we had to, he was pitching that well. He comes out today knowing he can do that.”

Hendricks felt he could have pitched the ninth in

this one. Instead, he was lifted for a pinch hitter.

Before this stretch, his longest outing this sea-son was 6 2/3 innings. But he and the other starters behind Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester feel a responsibility to do their part in a dominant rotation.

Los Angeles’ Trayce T h o m p s o n w a s impressed.

“He’s not Jake Arrieta per se, but he does an amazing job with what he has, and I have the utmost respect for Kyle and how he competes,” he said.

The Cubs gave Hen-dricks all the support he needed after managing just four hits over the pre-vious two games.

Urias was simply over-powered in his second career start. The top pros-pect gave up six runs and eight hits in five innings after lasting only 2 2/3 innings in his big league debut against the New York Mets last week.

NBA FINALS | GAME 1 | WARRIORS 104, CAVALIERS 89

Bench plays big in Game 1Livingston scores 20 as reserves spark second-half run

BY JANIE MCCAULEYAP Sports Writer

OAKLAND, Calif. – Stephen Cur-ry’s “Strength In Numbers” sup-porting cast made all the timely shots and all the difference for the defending champions in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Draymond Green had 16 points, 11 rebounds and seven assists, Shaun Livingston scored a per-sonal postseason best of 20, and Golden State’s bench came up big as the Warriors beat LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-89 on Thursday night to move three wins away from a repeat title.

Curry, the MVP, and Splash Brother Klay Thompson? They totaled 20 points between them on 8-for-27 shooting, each knock-ing down a late 3-pointer.

“Steph just had one of those nights, just wasn’t going in. He had some turnovers. It happens,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “Even the best players in the world have bad nights. But it didn’t hurt us, because of our bench and our overall play with our defensive effort and taking care of the ball.”

It didn’t matter this time. Golden State’s bench outscored the Cavs’ reserves 45-10 in the opener of this finals rematch.

In a series with so much star power on both sides, this was a

night for Livingston and fellow reserves Leandro Barbosa and Andre Iguodala. Barbosa returned from a minor back injury to shoot 5-for-5, while 2015 finals MVP Iguodala had 12 points, seven rebounds, six assists and some stingy defense on James.

It made for a strong start

while surrounded by the yellow “Strength in Numbers” shirts that hung on seats throughout the arena.

“That’s our motto. That’s what we believe in,” Livingston said. “We pick each other up. We believe in each other and we just fight.”

APWarriors center Festus Ezeli (31) dunks against the Cavaliers during Game 1 of the NBA Finals in Oakland, Calif., on Thursday. Golden State won 104-89 to take a 1-0 lead in the best-of-seven series.

Bridge

Joyce Cary, an English nov-elist who died in 1957, said, “The will is never free – it is al-ways attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car – it can’t steer.”

When you are the declarer, you are steering your two hands toward the end of the road: the number of tricks needed to make the contract. How you steer the cards is, of course, usually critical.

In today’s deal, South is in three no-trump. What do you think of the auction? West leads a fourth-highest spade five, East puts up the nine, and South wins with his king (top of touching honors from the closed hand). How should South drive from there?

The auction is sensible if North-South do not use trans-

fers into the minors. However, if they do, North

should respond two spades, a transfer to clubs, and rebid three spades to show a single-ton or void in that suit.

South would presumably

park in three no-trump. Note that five clubs can be

made, but it requires good guesswork in the trump suit.

South has seven top tricks: one spade (first trick), one heart, three diamonds, and two clubs. As at least three more tricks can come from clubs, it seems too easy. Is there a pothole in the road?

From the first trick, declarer should realize that West holds the spade ace. So, if East gets on lead, he will return a spade through South’s queen, and the contract will crash.

In order to keep East from winning a trick, declarer should play a diamond to dummy, then run the club jack through East. Here, the finesse wins, and declarer takes 11 tricks. But even if that finesse lost, South’s spade queen would be safe from attack, and the contract would coast home.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Dig deep and ask questions. Someone will withhold information that you will need to know before making a decision. Deception is apparent. Take good care of your health. Avoid excess.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Use your emotional energy to do something creative. A challenge will spur you to participate in something you’ve never done before. An unexpected change at home will turn out to be beneficial.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- An emotional situation will get in the way of your productivity. Don’t be afraid to make changes if it will help you reach your goal. Ask someone reliable to pitch in and help.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- It’s a good day to address bothersome issues. An intelligent approach will put you in a good position to make a beneficial decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Put greater emphasis on improving your health and visiting places that will ease your stress and help you make positive physical changes. Romance is on the rise and will improve your attitude.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your desire to do things differently will be met with some opposition if your plans are too costly. An emotional situation will develop if someone feels left out or neglected.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Put more muscle into your work and stay focused until you finish what you start. Don’t let anyone sidetrack you or tempt you with indulgent outings. Personal relationships will lack honesty.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Make plans to spend time with youngsters or friends who enjoy the same physical activities as you. An intelligent move will help you cut costs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Take on projects that will improve your environment or add to your home entertainment options. Romance will lead to a promise that is likely to lack substance. Get what you want in writing.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Look over your personal papers and make some adjustments that will help you avoid financial stress. Don’t feel bad about saying no to someone who is being unreasonable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your ability to adapt and move from one thing to another will impress the people you deal with today. Someone who is jealous of you will go behind your back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You’ll capture attention with your insight, attention to detail and practicality. A short trip will help you expand your interests and push you in a direction that will lead to a positive gain.
