OGLE COUNTY | SPENDING IN THE SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT

Harn’s handling of money unclear County treasurer: $3,754 cash refund ‘totally inappropriate’ BY DAVID GIULIANI dgiuliani@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5525

OREGON – The Oregon Park District issued a $5,000 check to the Ogle County Sheriff’s Department last September, as part of an agreement for the department to provide

“reactive patrol support,” among other policing services. That money was never deposited. A year earlier, the department had received another $5,000 check, made out to Ogle County Sheriff Michael

Harn. That money was deposited, according to public records the park district released to Sauk Valley Media more than 2 weeks ago. Where that money was deposited, however, is unclear. On March 28, the Sheriff’s Department decided to void

the undeposited check and return the money that was unspent from the first $5,000 payment. That refund amounted to $3,754, according to the park district, which Sheriff Harn paid in cash. UNCLEAR CONTINUED ON A3

Two drivers hurt in two-vehicle accident Both taken to CGH Medical Center BY CHRISTI WARREN cwarren@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5521

STERLING – Two people were treated at the hospital Wednesday after being involved in a car accident just before noon in downtown Sterling. Police say that Natasha A. Schillaci, 28, of Lyndon was driving west on Sixth Street when she ran a stop sign at the Locust Street intersection. A car driven by Arthur G. Barnhart III, 73, of Rock Falls, who was headed north on Locust, struck her car on the driver’s side. Schillaci had to be removed from her car by Sterling and Rock Falls fire crews, and both she and Barnhart were taken to CGH Medical Center for treatment of injuries. Shillacii was ticketed on a charge of disobeying a stop sign. Neither hers nor Barnhart’s condition was available Wednesday afternoon.

DIXON – That tornado that leveled the town of Washington could just as easily have hit Amboy. Or Dixon. Or Franklin Grove. What if those had been your friends and neighbors who lost everything? Who would help them dig out, find shelter, provide comfort? Remember the 2009 swine flu outbreak? What if the virus comes back, turns deadly? Who would help get hundreds, or even thousands, of people vaccinated in a short time? How do you organize hundreds of people needed to fill sandbags when a 500-year flood hits? Who makes sure you even have enough sandbags? Trained volunteers, that’s who. And that’s where you come in. The newly formed Lee County Volunteer Corps is looking for recruits. It will have its first meeting April 24 in the Dixon Public Safety Building. (As added incentive, dinner from a local Italian restaurant will be provided.) Mike Therriault, 63, of Amboy, plans to become a volunteer corps member for a variety of reasons (none of them the free food). One, he’s the former head of Amboy’s Emergency Services and Disaster Agency. He’s had all kinds of useful training, from the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Homeland Security, among other agencies, and he doesn’t want to waste it. COMMUNITY CONTINUED ON A4

Traffic stop turns into chase Few clues in Pursuit ends in arrest; Shabbona man jailed bank robbery BY CHRISTI WARREN CWARREN SAUKVALLEY COM EXT

DIXON – A Shabbona man was in the Lee County Jail on Wednesday on seven criminal charges after a Lee County traffic stop early Wednesday turned into a car chase. Lee County Sheriff John

Varga said a sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop Tyler C. Challand, 29, when he took off in his car. A short chase ensued, which led the deputy down a few gravel roads, Varga said, before deputies were able to arrest Challand. He is charged with driv-

ing under the influence, fleeing and attempting to elude an officer, obstructing justice, speeding 31 to 39 mph over the speed limit, illegal transport of alcohol, disobeying a stop sign, and driving on a suspended license. His bond was set at $10,000.

ALBANY – More than a month after a man with a gun entered Albany’s First Trust and Savings Bank and walked away with more than $16,000, authorities are still looking for answers. Albany Police Chief Wyatt Heyvaert said he has been working with the FBI to follow up on leads, but so far they’ve led nowhere. Authorities have now turned to the Clinton Police Department to enhance blurred security camera footage of the holdup. Those images, Heyvaert said, will then be distributed to news outlets. The bank, 209 S. Main St., has offered a $2,500

DIXON PUBLIC SCHOOLS | EMERGENCY DAYS

DATELINE DIXON

Poll picks end of school year Kuhn: Weather Task force gives recommendation to school board BY MATT MENCARINI MMENCARINI SAUKVALLEY COM EXT

DIXON – If Dixon Public Schools took something away from this year’s severe winter, it was to be prepared. The school board voted unanimously during its regular meeting Wednesday night to add an additional five emergency days – to the five the district usually has – to the end of the 201415 academic year. Like most school districts in the Sauk Valley and the state, the Dixon school district was forced to use its five scheduled emergency days to cancel classes because of snow and cold this year. If the weather had forced the district to cancel another day, it would have been faced with the

Next Meeting 4HE $IXON "OARD OF %DUCATION NEXT MEETS AT P M -AY AT SCHOOL DISTRICT S CENTRAL OFFICE &RANKLIN Grove Road. 'O TO WWW $IXONSchools.org or call the SCHOOL DISTRICT S CENTRAL OFFICE AT for an agenda or more INFORMATION decision of using an “act of God day� to cancel classes or add an attendance day during a break. The academic calendar was on the school board’s agenda for March, but Superintendent Michael Juenger asked the board to table the item so faculty, staff and parents could be polled about their preference for the additional five emergency days – either during spring break or added to the end of the year. There were 219 votes cast, Juenger said, with 62.6 percent voting to

add the emergency days at the end of the year. The academic calender approved by the school board has the last attendance day scheduled for May 27, 2015, with 10 emergency days between May 29, 2015 and June 11, 2015.

Task force recommendation Chris Hammitt, a representative from the strategic planning task force, gave the school board the task force’s recommendation after spending 10 months reviewing the state of the school buildings and meeting with architecture firms. The task force evaluated all the buildings in several areas, including asbestos, mechanical systems, safety and security, and compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, among others. The task force determined that the buildings were lacking in all

areas, Hammitt said. In May, the school board could get presentations from the same two architectural firms and their consultants who made presentations to the task force and potentially move forward from there. Green and Associates and Arcon Associates Inc. made presentations to the task force in February and reviewed different ways the school buildings could be renovated, in addition to the possibility of a new building. If the board decides to contract one of the firms, the strategic planning could start soon after, Juenger said, beginning with community meetings to gauge the interest. The school board also unanimously voted not to release its closed session minutes from the past 6 months. Juenger said pending litigation was the reason the district’s lawyers recommended the minutes not be released.

Such a payment in cash is “totally inappropriate,� County Treasurer John Coffman said Wednesday. The county treasurer has no record of the county receiving either $5,000 check, though the money could have bypassed the treasurer’s office by going, for instance, to the controversial, off-budget administrative tow fund, over which the sheriff had wide spending discretion. On Monday, Sauk Valley Media sent Harn a Freedom of Information Act request for information on the checks. The sheriff has not responded to questions about the matter.

On Tuesday, the park district board ended its agreement with the sheriff’s office and approved a restructured one. The original pact, approved in 2012, was set to expire next year. According to a park district news release. Harn told the district March 27 that he planned to terminate the existing agreement. He returned the money the next day. “Sheriff Harn no longer considered the payment to be necessary for the services offered by his department,� the release said.

In an interview late last month, Dan Griffin, the park district’s finance and technology administrator, acknowledged that terminating the agreement had been discussed. He said the district was not sure what had happened to the checks, adding, “That’s what scares us.� The district, Griffin said, feared that it would be “tarnished� because of the questions over the status of the checks. “We want to keep our noses clean,� he said. Treasurer Coffman said it would have been better, for the sake of accountability, if the

$5,000 checks had gone through his office. He said he didn’t know where the $3,754 refund to the park district came from. “That would be something the [Ogle County] board members may want to look at,� he said. After Sauk Valley Media published stories about the tow fund in December, the Ogle County Board decided in February to tighten its grip on the tow fund. It limited the fund’s expenditures to police cars, their maintenance and equipment, and fuel. All spending now has to go through the treasurer’s office. As of Wednesday, the sheriff had yet to turn over the tow fund to the treasurer’s office, Coffman said.

‘devastated’ city streets this winter

D

IXON – It’s going to be a spring cleaning, of sorts, for Dixon’s roads and sidewalks. On Friday, Dixon Commissioner Jeff Kuhn will begin driving the streets where residents have asked for repairs. During Monday’s City Council meeting, he announced that the sidewalk program is coming back. The city could have about $420,000 to repair those streets, Kuhn said, after the city pays for work on other street projects. Repairing each city block can cost about $15,000. Kuhn and a city engineer will evaluate all the roads and determine a combination that will allow for the most work to be done. Grouping work close together can cut down the total cost, he said, adding that he will also try to make sure roads throughout the city are repaired and not clustered in one part of town. “It’s kind of challenging and fun to do,� Kuhn said. “But it’s also heartbreaking when you have to make a decision [to not repair some].� The winter’s cold and snow “devastated the streets,� Kuhn said, and street department crews are currently trying to patch as many potholes as it can. The sidewalk program, Kuhn said, is simple for residents to sign up for. “Homeowners call the

The cost for each yard covers the cost of the cement and other materials, in addition to the labor, Kuhn said. “As soon as you get your check in for the amount, the crew will be over there getting the process started,� Kuhn said. “So I’m glad we can offer it again this year.� Sauk Valley Media reporter Matt Mencarini covers government and happenings in Dixon.

Two, “I figure it’s a good way, as senior citizen, to keep my mind active,� Therriault said. But most important, he said, is that being a volunteer is a good way for people “to give back to their community when their community really, really needs it.� It’s great to have people show up to help when a disaster occurs, but it’s imperative to have people trained ahead of time, so you know who has what skills and where they can best be used, Therriault said. Tim Trader is the Lee County Health Department’s environmental health director; Kevin Lalley is the county’s emergency management director. Both men are responsible for various aspects of emergency preparedness, and both departments use volunteers to

get the jobs done, and have for years. What’s new now is that the two have joined forces, creating the volunteer corps to streamline training and recruitment. Volunteers are needed in five categories: weather spotting, medical distribution, damage assessment, sand bagging, and administrative assistance. At the April 24 informational meeting, Lalley and Trader will provide a 15-minute overview of the new program, then spend 5 to 10 minutes on each category. Those attending who haven’t already filled out an application will do so during dinner. Anyone 18 and older is welcome to attend. They’ve set aside 2 hours for the session, but Trader said he didn’t think it would take that long. Actual training will take place later. They’ll take those five categories and split them into two

They also will be utilized during the occasional disaster training drill. Weather spotters will be trained by certified weather spotters. They’ll learn, for example, about different cloud formations and what they mean. They report the information they gather to the National Weather Service, Lalley said.

Volunteers were used to distribute and help fill out forms, to keep lines moving in the right direction, and to help the elderly get back and forth from their cars, among other things, Trader said. Administrative volunteers help with all kinds of things, such as ordering supplies, making phone calls, sending materials where they need to be, and so on. About 60 folks from all walks of life already do a lot of this volunteer work regularly, and they soon will get a special invitation to attend the meeting, Trader said. But new blood also is needed.

Former Sterling resident Bill Prentiss has written his memoir, part of which covers his early years in Sterling. The first three chapters of the 84-page book are about his life in Sterling, from 1932 to 1950, including his attendance at Central Elementary School and Sterling High School. Much of it is told in anecdotal fashion. “I think some folks there might enjoy reading how life was in that period,� he wrote in a letter to Sauk Valley Media. “Three of my old friends in Sterling have read the book and found it very interesting.� The book also includes Prentiss’ participation in national and local politics,

STERLING – Doug Petit says he didn’t chose a life of public speaking; it chose him. It chose him, however, in a most horrific manner. Eight years ago, Petit’s 16-year-old son Jonathan left their home to attend an event with a friend and wound up at a party where a parent had provided alcohol. He went missing after leaving the party, and after a 4-day search, his body was found in a pond. “Things are now separated into life before and after Jonathan,� Petit said. Life after his son quickly became a mission to save others from the pain of losing a child to underage drinking.

Bipartisan jobs training bill has potential W

hen dealing with the divided government in Washington, D.C., bipartisanship is crucial toward getting anything accomplished. U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a 16th District Republican who represents Lee, Ogle and Bureau counties, recognized that truth in his effort to improve career and technical education for young people and job seekers. Kinzinger partnered with two Democrats, U.S. Reps. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts and Jared Polis of Colorado, and fellow Illinois Republican

Rodney Davis to introduce the Perkins Modernization Act of 2014 on Tuesday. The Perkins bill, if enacted, has the potential to boost the value of career and technical education for people who live in various regions of the country. By using workforce data to ensure that vocational curriculums are aligned with the needs of local employers, we would increase the likelihood that students and job seekers would be hired in the fields for which they trained. “This bipartisan bill will

What we think An area congressman is promoting a bipartisan career and technical education bill to help align jobs training with the needs of local employers. That makes sense to us. help ensure that skills being taught are actually in demand in the private sector,� Kinzinger said. That strategy makes sense to us. It should make sense to displaced workers who want to train for new careers. It should make sense to young people who want to pursue career and technical education

for entry positions in the local economy – the “stayers� who do not intend to earn a bachelor’s degree and move away from the Sauk Valley. And it should make sense for students who intend to pursue collegelevel career and technical education programs, so they will have the best opportunities to find jobs

upon graduation. Rep. Kennedy said the proposal would “arm future generations with the skills they need to compete.� Rep. Polis said it would help young people “succeed in an increasingly global economy.� And Rep. Davis pointed to jobs that go unfilled in Illinois, with a jobless rate just below 9 percent, because “our workforce has not caught up with [21st-century] technical skills.� With two Republicans and two Democrats sponsoring it, the Perkins Modernization Act of

2014 should draw bipartisan support across the Republican-controlled House. That bipartisanship must continue in the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House. With luck, the skillstraining bill will become law and help people to fulfill their career and employment goals. A further consequence might just be a lower unemployment rate and an improved economy. All because two Republicans and two Democrats decided to give bipartisanship a chance. As we said, it makes sense to us.

THE READER’S VOICE

Theater ought to reconsider ‘Chavez’ film

What do you think? Do you agree with these letters? Do you disagree with these letters? Let us know. Write your own letter to the editor and send it to: letters@saukvalley. com

LeNIE ADOLPHSON Rock Falls

I read with great dismay the decision not to show the recent “Cesar Chavez� film at the Sterling Theater. Chavez is an extremely important historical individual. His lifetime fight to empower migrant workers was powerful and inspirational. As an educator, I find it stunning to read that one of the possible reasons for not showing the film is that it sullies the reputation of former President Ronald Reagan. We cannot hide the facts of history because they collide with our own biased conclusions regarding historical actors. All students of history recognize that Reagan disagreed with unionism once he became a politician after parting with the Screen Actors Guild Union, where he was president of the union, serving six terms. Chavez‘s fight for the growers often clashed with California politicians who did not agree with his cause or tactics. Chavez modeled his protest after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., using peaceful,

This photo, released by Pantelion Films, shows Michael Pena (center) as Cesar Chavez in a scene from “Cesar Chavez.� The new biopic opened March 28 and finished 12th at the U.S. box office that weekend with $3 million in ticket sales. The Associated Press also reported that “Cesar Chavez� received an A grade from filmgoers, according to the polling firm CinemaScore. nonviolent protest and the powerful boycott. Chavez fought for higher wages and better working conditions for predominantly Mexican-American migrant workers who were horrendously exploited in the agricultural sector. Young people should be exposed to this magnificent labor leader. Routinely, when I ask students every semester whether they have ever heard of Mr. Chavez, very few have heard of him. This is unfortunate. I think the Sterling Theater could show remarkable courage and wisdom in

showing a film that would enlighten the area about the great and heroic life of Mr. Cesar Estrada Chavez. Note to readers: LeNie Adolphson is an adjunct instructor of history and humanities at Sauk Valley Community College.

SPRINGFIELD SCOOP

Different ways of learning not embraced by everyone Unions don’t want charter schools here SPRINGFIELD – After several weeks of trying to teach my second-grader how to ride a bicycle, I became pretty frustrated. I tried instructing Gracie the same way my parents taught me when I was 6. But I couldn’t understand what was going wrong. My poor mother must have run miles up and down West Street in Galesburg with one hand on my bicycle seat, hollering, “You can do it, Scotty! You can do it!� But for my oldest daughter, this strategy proved less than effective. In

fact, about the only thing this method seemed to accomplish was to give me a really good workout. So, what’s a modern parent to do? I turned to YouTube. After watching three videos on teaching a child how to ride a bike, I altered my approach. Instead of running behind her while she learned to pedal, steer, brake and balance herself, I took Gracie to the top of our neighbor’s driveway and let her practice coasting to the bottom of it without pedaling. Once she had mastered balancing herself, we worked on pedaling. Then it was steering. And after a spill in the neighbor’s yard – in which Gracie announced she

will never get on a bicycle again – we continue to work on braking. Teaching is difficult. Every child learns differently. Methods that work for some don’t work for others.

She now is flourishing in college. I have friends who homeschool their children, and they think it is great. Charter schools are a solution many other parents have pursued. Ultimately, parents must choose what they believe is best for their children. Unfortunately, there are some in the General Assembly who want to limit that choice. The Illinois House recently passed a bill that takes aim at charter schools. Such schools

receive public funding but operate with more independence than other public schools. Students may be drawn from across a district, rather than a specific neighborhood, and while faculty members can join unions, they often choose not to. It’s that final point that has teachers unions and their legislative allies taking aim at charter schools and trying to undo modest reforms. Just 3 years ago, Illinois created a Charter School Commission that groups wanting to create charter schools could appeal to if a local school board said “no.� The commission is really the forum of last resort for those seeking to create a charter school. Even so,

In simple terms, charter schools are a threat to the unions’ business model. If charter schools weren’t working, parents would refuse to enroll their children in such institutions. But they are an effective alternative. After all, no child learns the same way. And all parents deserve a choice.

CHICAGO

Pension deal creates quandary for Quinn Will governor decide to sign off on tax hike or risk derailing aid for city in financial trouble? CHICAGO (AP) – The Legislature’s approval of a plan to reduce Chicago’s multibilliondollar pension shortfall is creating an election-year quandary for Gov. Pat Quinn, who must decide whether to indirectly sign off on a $750 million tax hike or risk derailing aid for a city in serious financial trouble. Quinn has railed against the property tax in his re-election campaign, calling it a “lousy� tax that unfairly burdens the middle class. He has declined to say whether he’ll sign the legislation, but said Wednesday he was happy a provision that explicitly called for the tax increase was stripped from the bill after he said he wouldn’t support it. The situation also marks another awkward moment between Quinn and Mayor Rahm Emanuel, as the two Chicago Democrats – who both face re-election in coming months – promote sometimes competing interests. Emanuel says the state must OK his pension overhaul – which the mayor negotiated with unions and hinges on the

property tax increase – to avoid even larger tax hike, severe cuts in services and the potential insolvency of the city’s retirement funds. “I think the bill that passed, I must take a hard look at. It’s going to take a little while,� said Quinn, who has suggested Emanuel look at other revenue options, such as closing corporate tax loopholes. “It’s a pretty complicated bill and I’m going to look at it from top to bottom.� Emanuel said he worked out the deal with about two dozen labor unions with the understanding it would include the property tax. “One of the reasons they came together is because we stepped up, they stepped up,� he said. “In this effort, the goal was everybody gives something so nobody has to give everything. That’s why, in my view, it was a responsible plan.� Chicago has the worstfunded pension systems of any major U.S. city, with a $20 billion shortfall in its four accounts and another $7 billion debt in the fund for teach-

In this March 26 file photo, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn acknowledges applause before delivering his annual budget address at the Capitol in Springfield. The Legislature’s approval of a plan to reduce Chicago’s multibillion-dollar pension shortfall is creating an election-year quandary for Quinn, who must decide whether to indirectly sign off on a $750 million tax hike or risk derailing aid for a city in serious financial trouble. ers. Emanuel, who still must address police, fire and teacher pensions, must get approval from the General Assembly and Quinn for any pension changes. The measure fast-tracked through the Legislature on Tuesday would affect about 57,000 employees and retirees

in the municipal workers and laborers’ retirement accounts. It would nearly eliminate the $9.4 billion shortfall in those funds by cutting benefits and increasing contributions for both the city and employees. Emanuel wants the city’s additional contributions to come from a property tax increase

of about $750 million over five years. The tax hike was originally included in the legislation filed by House Speaker Michael Madigan, a Chicago Democrat. But Madigan removed that language after legislators balked at taking the blame and Quinn said it was “No can do.� The final legislation approved Tuesday instead left the decision on how to raise the revenue to the Chicago City Council. But it’s still a trick bag for Quinn, who faces Republican businessman Bruce Rauner in the November election. Rauner, of Winnetka, has pushed for public employees to be moved to a 401(k)-style retirement system. And he has repeatedly blasted Quinn for increasing Illinois’ income tax – a 2011 jump that was supposed to be temporary but that Quinn now wants to make permanent in order to avoid massive cuts to education and other areas. A Quinn signature on the pension bill, no matter how the governor sells it or who ultimately approves the property tax hike, would give Rauner further fuel for his argument that Quinn is overtaxing Illinois residents and creating an unfriendly business climate.

Mayor Emanuel promotes new infrastructure thinking

Change in GPS monitoring law advances

CHICAGO (AP) – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel will use a keynote address today at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to promote the idea of courting private investors to bankroll infrastructure projects in return for a share of the profits. The mayor’s 2-year-old Chicago Infrastructure Trust is about to begin its first project, a retrofit of dozens of city-owned buildings to make them more energy efficient, with the savings on utility bills going to pay back the investors. In an interview with The Associated Press Wednesday, Emanuel said the infrastructure trust is one tool for financing public works projects as traditional sources of funding like federal grants and loans become more scarce. “You have less money and more needs. So, into that void steps the infrastructure trust,� he said. “Everybody’s trying to think outside the traditional box while federal support is diminishing.� The 2-day forum is being hosted by MIT’s Center for Advanced Urbanism and will bring together political leaders, engineers, design professionals and academics to discuss ways cities are rethinking infrastructure investment. Besides innovative

SPRINGFIELD (AP) – A bill that would let law enforcement officials use GPS tracking on people with a restraining order is advancing in the Illinois Legislature. State law lets a judge order GPS monitoring only after a suspect has violated an order of protection – not before, according to a report published Wednesday in The (Arlington Heights) Daily Herald. But the legislation, introduced by Crystal

Lake Republican Rep. Barbara Wheeler, would let authorities monitor someone as soon as a protective order is issued. “With modern GPS tracking technology, there is no reason why the authorities should not be monitoring those charged with violent attacks while they are awaiting trial,� Wheeler said. She drafted the measure after last year’s slaying of Diane Kephart, a

57-year-old an Antioch woman who was killed by her ex-boyfriend even though she’d taken out an order of protection against the man. He later killed himself after stabbing her outside her father’s home. “This brings us one step closer to helping protect victims against further violence,� said Kephart’s daughter, Jamie Kephart. The bill passed the House and now advances to the Senate.

Man patient as woman struggles with intimacy Dear Abby: I’m a 27-year-old woman who has never had a boyfriend or been kissed. I was never interested in romance or having a significant other. I felt strong being independent and taking care of myself. Now that I have a degree, a career and a house, I feel ready to try to let a man into my life. I met a really nice guy a month ago. “Brian� and I have gone out several times and have a lot in common. He’s a gentleman, and he says he’s willing to wait for me. I have been having

Dear Blocked: Being intimate with someone because you’re afraid you’ll lose him or it will be your last chance is the wrong reason. I think that the sooner you talk with a licensed therapist about your lifelong shyness and discomfort, the quicker you can understand the reasons for it and overcome it. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone. If Brian is the right man for you, he will stand by you. But if he doesn’t, you’ll be able to more easily relate to someone else.

Dear Abby: I am planning my wedding in the fall. My fiance and I are paying for the wedding and reception. I have worked at my job for a year, and I haven’t always been treated well by a few co-workers. I am reluctant to invite these people because I’m worried about the repercussions if I do. I know they will judge every aspect because they did it to another co-worker. I like a few of the people I work with, but I don’t know if I can invite only them. What do I do? – Wedding Planner in Omaha

Dear Wedding Planner: What you do is invite only those people you truly want to attend your wedding. It’s not necessary to apologize for it or to explain why. If you are put on the spot and feel you must give a reason, say that your guest list is limited because of financial constraints. It’s far more tactful than saying they are being excluded because they are rude, awful people, and you don’t want them anywhere near you on such an important occasion.

Toyota, GM recalls push U.S. to record pace So far this year, nation’s automakers have recalled about 9 million vehicles DETROIT (AP) – Big U.S. recalls by General Motors and Toyota have put the auto industry on a record pace as companies try to avoid bad publicity and punishment from an increasingly aggressive government. On Wednesday, Toyota announced it was recalling nearly 1.8 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a spate of problems, including air bags that might not inflate. It’s part of a worldwide recall of 6.39 million cars and trucks.

So far this year, automakers have recalled about 9 million vehicles in the U.S. If that pace continues, the nation would break the record of 30.8 million recalled vehicles set in 2004. Most of the recalls are from Toyota and General Motors, two automakers that are under government scrutiny and facing bad publicity and allegations that they concealed safety issues. Toyota’s latest recalls were announced before the

company even developed specific repairs. They come 2 weeks after the Justice Department skewered the Japanese automaker for covering up problems that caused unintended acceleration in some cars starting in 2009. Toyota agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle that case, but federal prosecutors can resurrect a wire fraud charge if the company fails to comply with the terms of the settlement. Toyota’s actions come as rival GM recalls 2.6 million small cars for defec-

tive ignition switches the company links to at least 13 deaths. Of those, 2.2 million are in the U.S. As that crisis unfolded, GM announced recalls of another 3.4 million U.S. vehicles. GM is facing a Justice Department investigation, and last week its new CEO was grilled by Congress over its handling of the ignition recalls. It also faces fines of $7,000 per day for missing a deadline to answer questions from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Heartbleed computer bug causes major internet security headache SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A confounding computer bug called “Heartbleed” is causing major security headaches across the Internet as websites scramble to fix the problem and Web surfers wonder whether they should change their passwords to prevent theft of their email accounts, credit card numbers and other sensitive information. The breakdown revealed this week affects a widely used encryption technology that is supposed to protect online accounts for a variety of online communications and electronic commerce. Security researchers who uncovered the threat are particularly worried about the lapse, because it went undetected for more than 2 years. They fear the pos-

sibility that computer hackers may have been secretly exploiting the problem before its discovery. It’s also possible that no one took advantage of the flaw before its existence was announced late Monday. Although there is now a way to close the security hole, there are still plenty of reasons to be concerned, said David Chartier, CEO of Codenomicon. A small team from the Finnish security firm diagnosed Heartbleed while working independently from another Google Inc. researcher who also discovered the threat. “I don’t think anyone that had been using this technology is in a position to definitively say they weren’t compromised,” Chartier said.

Canada’s tax agency isn’t taking any chances. Citing the security risks posed by Heartbleed, the Canada Revenue Agency shut off public access to its website “to safeguard the integrity of the information we hold,” according to a Wednesday notice posted on its website. The agency hopes to re-open its website this weekend. The lockdown comes just 3 weeks from Canada’s April 30 deadline for filing 2013 tax returns. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service said in a statement Wednesday that it’s not affected by the security hole. “The IRS advises taxpayers to continue filing their tax returns as they normally would in advance of the April 15 deadline,” the agency said.

Rules to donning jacket Masters win comes with responsibility BY PAUL NEWBERRY AP National Writer

AUGUSTA, Ga. – The green jacket is one of the most revered symbols in all of sports, right up there with an Olympic gold medal and the Stanley Cup. Yet, even with the strict sense of decorum that is afforded the prized garment awarded every Masters champion, it occasionally winds up in spots no one would ever expect. Like underneath a garbage bag. Or in Ohio. Yep, an authentic green jacket is on display at a country club in suburban Cleveland – a long, long way from Augusta National. JACKET CONTINUED ON B2

Different roads traveled

Three Skyhawks to play baseball at 4-year schools BY BRIAN WEIDMAN bweidman@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5551

AP

Zach Johnson committed some Green Jacket sins after winning the Masters in 2007. Johnson didn’t have a garment bag, so he transported it in a garbage bag. He was also photographed wearing it with jeans.

Jake Tegeler, J.J. Johnston and Jake Randall are each key components of the Sauk Valley Community College baseball team. Next year, they will play the sport at 4-year colleges. Each of their paths to get to that level were vastly different. Tegeler played his high school ball at Morrison. After graduating in 2012, he didn’t plan on playing baseball in college,

and would instead focus on academics. As a freshman at SVCC, he also coached at the fresh-soph level in Morrison, to keep himself active in the sport. That involvement led him to play last summer for the Fulton American Legion baseball team, which was in need of a catcher. “I came out last summer and batted .480 with 80 at-bats, so I felt like I picked up right where I left off,” Tegeler said. “I was surprised. The summer went well, so I decided to pick up my career again.”

High school: Sterling, 2012 FYI: Starting center fielder for Skyhawks. ... Batting .355 this season. ... Will play at Robert Morris next season

Tegeler has been the Skyhawks’ catcher this season, with spot duty at first base and designated hitter. He’s batting .200 (3-for-15) with a double. “I know my bat’s starting off a little slow,” Tegeler said, “but I’m starting to see the ball better. I’m starting to drive the baseball, and I just need the ball to find the gaps. It seems like I’m hitting a lot right at everybody.” TRAVELED CONTINUED ON B5

SOFTBALL | ROCK FALLS 6, FREEPORT 5, 8 INNINGS

Something to yell about Added motivation does trick as Rockets rally late BY DAN WOESSNER dwoessner@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5555

ROCK FALLS – Kris Nunez will likely spend most of today using hand gestures to communicate. The Rock Falls softball coach saw the energy level on her team take a dramatic dive during the fourth inning of Wednesday’s game against the Freeport Pretzels. Nunez’s only solution was to provide a constant source of chatter, either from the dugout or the third-base coaching box. She put the right combination of words together, because the Rockets responded in dramatic fashion in a 6-5 win in eight innings. “I spent the better part of two innings yelling,” Nunez said. “I am sure everyone heard it. Their heads just dropped in the fourth, and I knew that I had to do everything I could to get their energy back into the game. I just probably won’t have much of a voice after this.”

Augustin to the rescue again MINNEAPOLIS – D.J. Augustin’s career was swirling down the drain when the Toronto Raptors waived him in December, and the former No. 9 overall pick seemed destined to join the long list of promising prospects that just never made it in the NBA. Four days later, the Chicago Bulls signed him in an attempt to add some scoring punch to a defense-first team. Augustin has flourished in Chicago, one of the big reasons the surprising Bulls have been

jacket with a proper pair of trousers. Augusta National zealously guards its pomp and circumstance more than perhaps any other sports entity, so it’s not surprising that only a handful of green jackets wound up beyond its gates on a permanent basis. One belonged to Gary Player, who won the first of three Masters titles in 1961, took the jacket home to South Africa, and never brought it back. But he promised Masters chairman Clifford Roberts to never wear it in public, a promise that probably wasn’t that tough to keep for someone who prefers wearing black from head to toe.

Nothing’s inevitable Facing Avalanche in first round now in doubt BY CHRIS KUC Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO – It was less than a week ago that Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville called playing the Avalanche in the first round of the playoffs “inevitable.� Not so fast. A combination of the soaring Avs and stumbling Blues suddenly has the Hawks’ opening opponent in doubt. “I might have used that word prematurely,� Quenneville said before the Hawks rallied to defeat the Canadiens 3-2 in overtime Wednesday night at the United Center. “Who knows? It really played out differently the last couple of days. Certainly, the picture could change.� The only thing the Hawks can control is the way they close out the regular season, and they have won four in a row to keep alive their hopes of catching the Avs for second in the Central Division. After Marian Hossa tied the game with 47.7 seconds remaining in the third period, Patrick Sharp scored in overtime to lift the Hawks in their final home game of the regular season. Jeremy Morin also scored, and Corey Crawford had a strong night in goal to help the Hawks move two points behind the Avs, who are two back of the Central-leading Blues. The Hawks have two games remaining in their quest to finish second and secure home-ice advantage in the first round, while the Avalanche and Blues each

may be.� The Hawks scored their first overtime goal this season when Sharp’s shot skipped past Peter Budaj just 43 seconds into the extra period. “We were due,� Quenneville said. “[Twenty-two] games and [22] opportunities. We have a pretty good club offensively, [and] to finally take this long to get one is certainly a relief and a huge two points for us.�

The point-count points the way

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

Edith Wharton said, “One knows one’s weak points so well, that it’s rather bewildering to have the critics overlook them and invent others.” One of the weak points of most bridge players is the inability to track the high-card points – and that is arguably the most important thing to count during a deal. How would that help East to find the right defense here? South is in four spades. West leads the heart ace. What should happen? The auction follows Standard American. If you have taken up twoover-one game-force, North might rebid three spades (forcing). Then South would probably

settle into four spades, since he has a minimum opening bid. However, his secondary club fit might make him wonder about a slam. Note that if, for example, North’s

diamond king were the heart king, six clubs would be an excellent contract. Since East does not want his partner to shift suits, he should encourage enthusiastically with his heart eight. Then West should cash his heart king and lead his third heart. After winning this trick, East should track the highcard points. The dummy has 13, West has produced seven, and East has seven. That leaves only 13 missing. South must have the spade ace-king and diamond ace. This means that the defenders cannot win a minor-suit trick. They must get a trump trick to defeat the contract. So East should lead his last heart. When West ruffs with the spade eight, it effects an uppercut and gives East that crucial trump winner. © 2014 UFS

Randall plays first base and bats third for the Skyhawks. He’s batting .333 (11-for-33) with two doubles and five RBIs. Next year, he will attend William Penn College in Oskaloosa, Iowa, and continue to play baseball. “That’s why I came to Sauk, to go to a bigger school after this,� Randall said. “It’s one of those things you work for your whole life. It’s actually like a dream come true.� Tegeler (St. Ambrose) and Johnston (Robert Morris) will also attend 4-year universities next fall, to continue their athletic and academic careers. That brings a smile to the face of head baseball coach Noel Aponte. “Giving them an opportunity at the college level, that’s the biggest thing we’ve got going on here,� Aponte said. “Yes, we want to win, but the big thing is to mature and move them on to the next level to play baseball and get an education.�

That brought Carly Dodd to the plate. Dodd had started in the circle before being replaced by Michaela Ward. She was 0-for-3, and had reached base on an error in the sixth. Dodd connected on a high flyball on the first pitch. The ball kept carrying in the wind, and left fielder Alex Kohn had a bead on it. But, the ball carried over the fence, as did Kohn, who flipped over the top of the barrier after running into it at full speed. “It fell really good,� Dodd said. “I usually don’t hit slower pitching all that well. She threw me a fastball, and I just tried to stay back on it.� The blast tied the score, forcing an extra inning. After Ward (5-0) dispatched the Pretzels in the top of the eighth, picking up her eighth and ninth strikeouts in four innings of work in the process, the Rockets came up to the plate. Kara Nehrkorn and Baylie Janssen started the eighth with back-to-back singles, which brought No. 9 hitter Taylor Anderson to the plate. Anderson executed a perfect bunt down the line that first baseman Sierra Best could not get a handle on. “Taylor has perfected bunting so far this season,� Nunez said. “You can tell her exactly where you want her to place the ball, and she will do it. That’s an invaluable skill to have.� With the bases loaded and no outs, Rock Falls seemed certain to score. Booker stepped to the plate and drilled a pitch to short center, but the defense was in perfect position for the catch, and the ball wasn’t deep enough to score Nehr-

Chelsi Blair did the same, only to right field after that. The difference was that after right fielder Haley Pentacost caught the ball, she threw home even though Nehrkorn wasn’t heading to the plate. The throw was offline up the third-base line and got away from the catcher, allowing Nehrkorn to score. “We had made some mistakes early in the game,� Nunez said. “They just happened to make one when it counted the most.� After jumping out to a 1-0 lead, things turned

south in the top of the fourth when the Rock Falls defense committed three errors that led to five unearned Pretzel runs off of Dodd. After a scoreless fifth, Rock Falls scored a single run in the sixth on a RBI double by Nehrkorn. The Rockets did leave runners on second and third in the sixth. “I think a game like this we were just waiting for someone to get a hit to get us started,� Dodd said. “Sometimes that is all you need. This proves that we can come back if we fall behind, we just have to stay positive and keep working hard.�

Joey Logano (left) and Brad Keselowski are both drivers for Team Penske, but there was no doubt that Keselowski was looking to win last Sunday in Texas. He ended up 15th after a penalty for speeding in the pits.

Teammates in name only Keselowski in it to win, not help teammates get victories BY JENNA FRYER !SSOCIATED 0RESS

Seven for seven

As he chased Joey Logano around Texas Motor Speedway, more than a few people wondered if Brad Keselowski was letting off the gas just a little bit to help his teammate to a win. A flurry of late activity cleared Keselowski of any potential wrongdoing. As Logano closed in on the white flag that would have wrapped up the win, a late caution sent the field to pit road. Keselowski was penalized for speeding – he was 0.8 mph over in one of the zones on pit road – and it proved he was doing everything in his power to win Monday’s race. “I definitely wasn’t [laying back],� Keselowski said. “I was 105 percent, so that’s why I got a speeding penalty. I broke the rule the other way.� NASCAR last September demanded drivers give 100 per-

The penalty Keselowski had to serve contributed to his 15th-place finish, and Logano went on to win his first race of the season. “We’re in it for wins. We’re not in it for finishing second. Second or 15th is the same to us,� Keselowski said. “I sped and ended up 15th. It had to be really close. If it would have worked out, I might have been able to win the race from it. It’s just part of racing.� Now no one can accuse Team Penske of playing unfairly, and both drivers have a clear con-

science as they prepare for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Keselowski got his win at Las Vegas in March, and under NASCAR’s new win-and-you’rein format, Team Penske should be assured of two spots in the 16-driver Chase field. “It’s absolutely huge,� Keselowski said. “We haven’t burned any of our team tests, and now that we’ve got both cars in the Chase, we can just burn through those on the Chase tracks. That’s a pretty healthy advantage.� Penske management had been plotting testing strategy prior to Monday’s race, and wondered if the organization needed to go somewhere where Logano runs well in order to give him a strong chance at a victory. Now that he’s got a win, they can test only at tracks that are in the 10-race Chase. “Now that we’re in the Chase, we can use these tests a little differently than what we were thinking,� Logano said.

FORMULA ONE

In like a lion for troubled series Competitive racing outshines scandal early in Formula One season BY CHRIS LINES !0 !UTO 2ACING 7RITER

Everybody expected April to be a crucial time for Formula One. It was the month when the future of F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone would go on the line as he faces bribery charges in a Munich court room. It was when the Ferrari and Red Bull teams would step up their assault on the new engine rules, hoping to pressure the series into making changes. What most did not expect is that it would also be a month with one of the most entertaining races in many years, with Lewis Hamilton winning a breathless Bahrain Grand Prix against Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg by a single second. The opening two races of the season, in Australia and Malaysia, had been tepid affairs with Mercedes untroubled in front and cautious, even dull racing. The races had played into the hands of Ferrari and Red Bull, which used them as evidence in their case that the new 1.6-liter, V6 turbo hybrid engines, along with new fuel limita-

Instead, the actual racing has been exciting. tions, were producing lifeless racing. More of the same was expected in Bahrain, where Ferrari chairman Luca di Montezemolo turned up in person to lobby Ecclestone – who is firmly on his side in that debate – and FIA chairman Jean Todt, who is decidedly not. The Ferrari chief did not stay long. Not only was he infuriated by the sight of his team’s cars, and their richly remunerated drivers Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen scrab-

bling around, but also because the terrific entertainment value of the race seemed to undercut his argument. With Todt sticking by his guns, saying the engines will not be changed other than perhaps to amp up the muted sound, it appears April will end with Ferrari, and the Renaultpowered Red Bulls still trailing in Mercedes’ wake. Dispiritingly for all the teams, Mercedes showed in Bahrain that it had been racing well

within the limits at Australia and Malaysia – and yet still winning comfortably. In Bahrain, when fuel-saving mode was finished – thanks to several laps on low revs behind the safety car – and the two Mercedes were racing each other flat out in the closing laps, they were fully 2 seconds per lap faster than the nearest cars. Red Bull was probably next fastest, indicating that their earlier pace had been compromised by the need to save fuel, and once that passed they were able to show what the car was fully capable of. With two of the three highest fuel-consumption races now gone – Canada is still to come – Red Bull and others may be able to close some of the gap on Mercedes in the coming races. All teams stayed in Bahrain for testing. Unsurprisingly, it was Mercedes again at the top of the timesheets. Next on the agenda for F1 is Monday’s hearing of an appeal by Red Bull against Daniel Ricciardo’s disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix for exceeding fuel-flow limits.
