SERVING DIXON AND THE SURROUNDING AREA SINCE 1851

DIXON | STREETSCAPE PROJECT

LEE COUNTY COURT

Aesthetics overlooked? Welling Recent council decisions favor parking over beauty

BY MATT MENCARINI mmencarini@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5529

DIXON – The first plans for the downtown streetscape project were unveiled at City Hall in January, and work is expected to begin this month.

But two local architects still are critical of the project.

John McLane and Dean Sheaffer, who had submitted proposed designs for the streetscape and done work with KSB Hospital or downtown, say that because no landscape architect was the lead professional on the project, the city missed out on incorporating design elements,

signage and greenspace into the $5.7 million project.

The city contracted Wendler Engineering Services Inc. and Willett, Hofmann & Associates, for a combined $320,930, to do engineering work and planning for the project.

DIXON – Twenty-two months after a 79-year-old Amboy man was stabbed in his home with a pair of scissors, then beaten to death, the man accused of cutting his life short is set to begin trial.

Matthew W. Welling, 33, is Matthew W. charged with five Welling counts of firstdegree murder and two counts of home invasion in connection with the death of Delmar “Leroy” Daniels, killed July 18, 2012. His wife, Betty, was found Delmar next to his body, Daniels pinned against the wall and under her wheelchair scooter.

Margaret Zumdahl, owner of Accents gift store in the Northland Mall, is retiring early next year and, thus, selling her store. She’s hopeful for a buyer and feels business has bounced back from the recent recession.

Gift store up for sale; business will close if no buyer found

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085, ext. 5535

STERLING – Another change might be coming to the Northland Mall lineup.

Margaret Zumdahl, cheery owner of the packed and popular Accents gift store, is retiring early next year.

That means her beloved shop, which she opened in 1999, is up for sale. If she can’t find a buyer, she’ll have to close the business – at a time when things are starting to pick up again.

“I am totally going to miss it,” Zumdahl said. “It’s not even like work for me.”

She and her husband, longtime local attorney Mark Zumdahl, who will retire at the end of next year, plan to hit the road and spend time with their children and three grand-

daughters, ages 2 to 6, she said. One of the little ones is in North Carolina; the two others are a bit closer, in the Chicago area.

Accents sells a little bit of everything: jewelry, purses, scarves, baby items, kitchen gadgets, home and garden décor, greeting cards, seasonal items. ... Talk about sensory overload: Every nook and cranny is filled with color, sparkle and shine. It even smells good.

Filling those shelves and watching them empty is a job Zumdahl has loved, she said, especially because of her clientele: People buy gifts for happy occasions, which makes them happy shoppers, and “the people who shop with me are just super,” she said.

Testimony likely to begin Wednesday WELLING

CONTINUED FROM A1

Jury selection begins Tuesday in Lee County Judge Ron Jacobson’s courtroom. Testimony likely will begin sometime Wednesday, or maybe Thursday. There will be no court Friday – the judge will be at an out-of-town conference – and testimony will resume Monday.

Although it’s impossible to say for sure, the trial is expected to wrap up that week.

Each of the five firstdegree murder counts come with varying elements of the crime that must be proven, which gives the jury a choice when deciding whether to convict, and for what.

Count one says Welling intended to kill Daniels; count two says he intended to do great bodily harm to Daniels; count three says he knew striking Daniels on the head would kill him; count four says he knew striking him would cre-

ate the strong probability of death or great bodily harm; and count five says Welling killed Daniels during the course of a forcible felony, i.e. home invasion.

One count of home invasion pertains to Daniels, the other to his wife.

Welling has been in Lee County Jail since his arrest 2 days after the killing. His bond is set at $2 million.

His attorney is Public Defender Bob Thompson. Lee County State’s Attorney Anna SaccoMiller is the prosecutor.

According to court records, paramedics responding to a call around 7 p.m. that night found Daniels lying in a pool of blood, and bloody footprints leading outside the home.

His wife told police that about 2 a.m., a blond man knocked on their door, and her husband opened it. The two struggled, and the man stabbed Daniels with a pair of scissors.

Daniels died, however, after being struck “on and

about the head,� records show.

A black shirt, a pair of black flip-flops, and a black string necklace with a small metallic urn engraved “Alan M Welling 1977-2002� were found at the house. Alan Welling was Matthew’s brother.

During his interview, Welling, whose face, hands and legs were bloodied, admitted that he had been drinking at an Amboy bar, and that he remembered being at a home with a man, and a lot of blood, police said.

He said he ran, losing his black shirt, black flipflops, and black string necklace with his brother’s ashes.

Welling also told witnesses that he woke up after a night of drinking, and remembered beating an elderly man unconscious, police said.

He also is said to have threatened to kill two men during a fight hours before Daniels was killed.

In a motion to get those threats allowed as

evidence, which Jacobson eventually granted, Sacco-Miller said they show that Welling intended to kill someone that night; he just happened to knock on the wrong door. The Daniels home apparently was similar in appearance to – and within a block of – the home of one of the men Welling fought with, she said.

She cited an Illinois case in which it was decided that a person can be found guilty of murder, even if the intended victim was someone else.

Welling’s statements “prove the defendant’s state of mind at the time of Delmar Daniels’ murder,� she said in her motion.

Also to be presented as evidence is a text message Welling is said to have sent shortly after Daniels was attacked, saying “I [expletive] up.�

In December 2012, Thompson notified the court that he may use self-defense as a defense for his client.

No age requirement for healthy habits Public health worker pushes nutrition

alin Werner, a public health associate with the Lee County Health Department, rarely drinks soda. But she said that’s easy for her: She doesn’t like it, anyway. “For me, one smaller soda is really filling,� she said.

That’s probably because her pediatri-

cian mother kept her cupboards free of sweet drinks when Kalin was growing up.

Teaching people about nutrition when they’re young can have big payoffs, Werner said. If they start right, they’ll have fewer health problems later in life.

Two years ago, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention assigned Werner, now 23, to work in the Lee County department for 2 years. Her term will end in July.

Just out of college, she was one of 100 young professionals sent to public health agencies around the country,

with only a handful in Illinois.

Werner has visited local classrooms, speaking mainly to third- and fourth-graders about the importance of wellness.

Each day, she said, you should: s %AT AT LEAST FIVE SERV ings of fruits and vegetables. s (AVE NO MORE THAN hours of screen time. s %XERCISE FOR AT LEAST hour. s (AVE ALMOST NO SUGARY beverages.

An Oakland, California, native, Werner was new to the Midwest. Her first winter was an experience. And then there was the second, the harshest in decades.

“I thought I would perish,� she joked.

The subzero temperatures, Werner said, might affect people’s choice of foods. “In California, we have yearlong fruits and vegetables at a reasonable cost,� she said.

Not so around here, she observed. Blueberries, for instance, are more expensive during the winter.

Besides, she said, “you may not feel like a salad when it’s so cold.�

In her 2 years, Werner has helped the health department with a number of efforts: promoting breast-feeding, pushing colorectal

cancer screenings, discouraging smoking, assisting people with the Affordable Care Act, and increasing the agency’s social media presence.

Cathy Ferguson, the department’s administrator, said Werner has had a big impact. “We’ve been able to expand our capacity beyond what we usually do,� Ferguson said. “It’s been rewarding to watch her learn and grow. It’s been a great experience.�

Werner occupies a small office at the department, which is housed in the new courthouse. On one

wall is postcards from places she has visited, including Buenos Aires.

On another wall hang a few pieces of artwork from students – with one depicting basketball players fighting over a spinach leaf.

She plans to return to California after she leaves the department July 16, which is, coincidentally, her birthday. “I’m trying to savor my last few months here,� Werner said. “I’ve had such a good time. The health department is great.

I’ve learned so much over 2 years. I will miss Dixon and Lee County so much.�

Eleanor L. Polhill ROCK FALLS – Eleanor L. Polhill, 91, of Rock Falls, died Friday, May 9, 2014, at CGH Medical Center in Sterling.

Eleanor was born on Dec. 23, 1922, in Chadwick to Frederick and Hattie (Brisbane) Mohrman. She married Harlan Polhill on Feb. 14, 1948 in Pearl City. He preceded her in death in March 1975.

Eleanor retired from the CGH kitchen in 1985.

She was a 25-plus-year member of the American Legion Auxiliary.

She worked at Meals on Wheels in Rock Falls and in the Bingo kitchen until her health failed.

Survivors include three daughters, Margaret (James) Barr of Rock Falls, Patricia (Clifford) Jacobs of Doniphen, Mo., and Gloria (Tim)

Sheley serving two life sentences SHELEY

CONTINUED FROM A1

During a December hearing in Whiteside County court, forensic pathologist Dr. Mark Peters testified that their deaths were caused by a hammer, though a murder weapon was never recovered. “These injuries were caused by a hammer,�

Peters said, referring to a photograph showing Ulve’s skull. “Nothing else caused these three injuries.�

Peters said Ulve suffered at least 11 injuries and died of blunt trauma to the head.

He then went on to discuss the various head injuries – fractures, impact sites, skull fragments, hemorrhaging, cuts, and bruising – seen in autopsy photographs of Branson, Blake, and Dayan.

In March of last year, Sheley’s attorney, Jeremy Karlin, filed a request in Whiteside County for a change of venue, claiming the “highly prejudicial� media coverage and general “community outrage� surrounding the proceedings would taint

the Whiteside County jury pool and prevent Sheley from getting a fair trial. “The potential jury pool of Whiteside County has been exposed to a barrage of highly prejudicial material that includes inflammatory, inaccurate and inadmissible material,� Karlin wrote in his motion.

Sheley’s requests for change of venue in his two previous trials were denied, but in April of last year, O’Connor decided to grant his request. “It did not make sense to waste time and resources litigating the motion,�

Joyce said in an email at that time. “Rock Island County has a much larger pool of potential jurors from which to draw in order to ensure that a fair trial may be had.�

Sheley already has been convicted of the murders of Ronald Randall, 65, of Galesburg, and Russell Reed, 93, of Sterling. He is serving two life sentences without parole for those crimes.

Prosecutors say Reed was the first of eight people Sheley murdered during a drug- and alcohol-fueled, weeklong killing spree in

the summer of 2008.

Desperate for crack cocaine, prosecutors say, Sheley went to Reed’s home on June 23, 2008, beat him to death, took his wallet, and put his body in the trunk of Reed’s own car.

Reed’s body was found 3 days later, still in the car.

Sheley then encountered Randall at a car wash on June 28, 2008, when he bludgeoned him to death, stole his car, and left his body behind a nearby grocery store. Randall was found 2 days later.

Sheley is also charged in the deaths of Arkansas couple Jill and Tom Estes, both 54, who were killed on June 29, 2008 in Festus, Mo. in a hotel parking lot.

They were found the next day behind a gas station trash bin about a mile and a half away.

Alone and unarmed, Sheley finally surrendered to Illinois State Police outside of a bar in the St. Louis suburb of Granite City, Ill. on July 1, 2008.

A woman inside the bar tipped off police when she noticed Sheley inside, and when he stepped outside for a cigarette, a plainclothes officer arrested him.

Morrison of Warrensburg, N.Y.; 11 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren and seven greatgreat-grandchildren.

She also was preceded in death by her parents; three sisters and their spouses; and one grandchild.

Visitation will begin at 10 a.m. and the funeral at 11 a.m.Thursday at First Christian Church of Rock Falls, with the Revs. Richard Morris and Dennis Buss officiating. Burial will be at Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens in Freeport.

he other day, we got a tip that a worker at the Dixon Correctional Center had been walked off the prison’s property.

It was true, the Department of Corrections confirmed.

The agency revealed that a contracted worker had violated the prison’s procedures, and the case had been referred to the Lee County state’s attorney’s office, which handles criminal prosecutions.

The state didn’t provide many details, but we published a story based on what we knew.

Some of our Facebook commenters thought we should have waited until we got more information. “I think it was Journalism 101 when I learned the W’s of journalism.

Another reader wrote, “So what exactly was the point of even sharing this when you have nothing to report yet?�

Well, actually, there was something to report.

A contracted worker had been taken off prison grounds and was under criminal investigation.

And what makes this even more interesting was that this possible crime apparently happened at the place where people are housed in punishment for, well, committing crimes.

Did our story lack details? Of course, it did.

That often happens.

But does that mean we

Our reader is right: In Journalism 101, you learn about the W’s. But you’re also taught that you often have to dig for information. No reporter should wait for a story to come on a silver platter.

Last month, after we got a tip that a Sterling firefighter had been charged with a sex crime, we asked the fire department about it. Minutes later, we got a news release that was labeled “for release upon inquiry.� It obviously had been drafted before we called, in what can be termed only as a “no ask, no tell� policy.

In Rock Falls, we reported the other day about the city’s warning that it would not renew the license of a mobile home park until it met codes. Residents feared they would be forced out with nowhere to live.

This news didn’t come from the city. Residents came to us.

PROPHETSTOWN

Mayor fires longtime police chief No wrongdoing involved; no litigation or investigation planned

BY KATHLEEN A. SCHULTZ kschultz@saukvalley.com

EXT

PROPHETSTOWN – Mike Fisk, Prophetstown chief of police for more than 2 decades, has been fired, Mayor Steve Swanson confirmed Sunday.

The dismissal is not the result of any criminal behavior or professional malfeasance, and will not affect Fisk’s pension, the mayor said. “There are no pending matters, and nothing is being

investigated,� Swanson said. “He served the citizens of Prophetstown for a long time, and I appreciate his devotion and the work he’s done for the people of Prophetstown. I’m simply exercising my right to go in a different direction.�

Fisk did not return a message left around 3 p.m. seeking comment.

Nothing specific precipitated his decision, which Swanson said he conveyed to Fisk on Friday. It also had “nothing at all� to do with the aftermath of the July 15 fire that destroyed a major portion of the downtown, he said. “We’ve had some differences,

sure, but this has weighed on me for a long time,� the mayor said. “I’m positive I separated my personal feelings from Steve the business of Swanson Prophetstown. “Prophetstown just needs to go in a different direction,� he said again. “I felt it was the best thing for the city.�

He discussed his decision with, and had the backing of, all six council members, he added.

Council member Warren Long confirmed that the council is in agreement with

Swanson’s decision, and he, too, said the dismissal was not based on any wrongdoing on Fisk’s part.

According to Illinois Municipal Code, the mayor may choose to appoint or dismiss the chief of police, or any other at-will employee, for any reason at the beginning of the fiscal year, which was May 1, Swanson said.

For now, Sgt. Bruce Franks, one of the department’s two other officers, will serve as acting chief of the town of about 2,000.

Although the mayor may dismiss the chief, the city council must appoint a new one, Swanson said, adding that he will

make a recommendation to the council.

The town will advertise to fill the third spot, Swanson said.

Fisk has been P’town’s chief of police since 1991, Swanson said. Before that, he was Lyndon’s chief. Swanson has been mayor 5 years.

When asked how Fisk reacted, Swanson said, “He was disappointed, I think. I know I would be.�

He emphasized that the city plans no investigation into the matter, and that there is no pending litigation. “I do appreciate his service, and there are no hard feelings on my part,� Swanson said.

AESTHETICS

I’m listening to the people, and this is what they want. And anytime I can save some money, I’m all for it.

CONTINUED FROM A1

The Dixon-based firms divided the project in half.

Wendler took the west side, which includes: Peoria Avenue from River Street to Third Street; First Street from Highland Avenue to Hennepin Avenue; and portions of Second Street between Highland Avenue and Hennepin Avenue.

Willett Hofmann took the west side, which includes First Street from Hennepin Avenue to Crawford Avenue, and Ottawa Avenue from River Street to Second Street.

In 2010, the city did a streetscape project on part of Hennepin Avenue.

The engineering firms were instructed to use general design guidelines from that earlier project as they worked on this year’s streetscape project, said Wendler’s Scott Brown, who is leading the project for his firm’s portion.

Brown said that aesthetic elements and greenspace were incorporated into the design where available, but he added that they were “very restricted� in what they could do because of space available downtown.

Wendlet and Willett Hofmann brought in a Sterling landscape architect, Alan Skoog, of Skoog Landscape & Design, as part of the design team, Brown said.

McLane and Sheaffer feel that opportunities were missed. “Engineers have zero aesthetic design training,� McLane said last week. “And by looking at things that they’ve done, that are so basic, so wrong from the get-go, there’s just no understanding of seating or aesthetics or space required for different things, and what things are going to look like when they’re done.�

McLane had helped to design landscaping and property for Town Square Centre, which houses some KSB offices.

First Street parking The Dixon City Council recently decided that the south side of First Street, between Hennepin Avenue and Galena Avenue, which was part of McLane’s design, should be converted from paral-

The original plan for that block, which was done by Willett Hofmann’s Jeff Reis, included a combination of parallel and diagonal parking.

The design has since changed several times, Reis said, including most recently when he was directed by the City Council, although not unanimously, to go with all diagonal parking.

Commissioner Jeff Kuhn said the decision wasn’t strictly about creating more parking downtown, but creating the right kind of parking downtown.

After speaking with nearly 100 residents, Kuhn said he felt people wanted diagonal parking, which is easier than parallel parking. “People don’t like to parallel park,� he said. “This was the only part of the streetscape that could do [diagonal parking].�

By going with diagonal parking, the city will gain parking spaces on that block – an increase from 10 to 19 – but have to narrow the sidewalks and eliminate landscaping.

The change will also be cheaper for the city – $201,300 for all parallel parking compared to $162,300 for all diagonal parking. “I’m listening to the people, and this is what they want,� Kuhn said.

“And anytime I can save some money, I’m all for it.�

Mayor Jim Burke and Commissioner Colleen Brechon were the City Council members who opposed all diagonal parking.

Burke said he had hoped that block could be turned into a “garden spot� in downtown Dixon with a variety of landscaping, adding that he wanted it to have the same feel as the riverfront.

Despite his vision for that section of First Street, Burke said the overall streetscape plan has met his expectations for landscaping and aesthetics. “I think generally it has,� Burke said. “But it’s really just, I cannot get over it about that 100 block [of First Street] bordering the KSB Medical Group. I just cannot get over it.�

Burke has said on several occasions that downtown has no parking problem and that he’s never heard a complaint about a lack of parking.

Signage and historical markers In June, the City Coun-

cil voted 3-2 against a proposal from Sheaffer to do a study and a report on how the city’s history could be incorporated into the design of future downtown projects.

Sheaffer’s study would have cost the city $24,000, but he says it would have established a road map for engineers to honor anything found to be historically significant and worthy of preservation or presentation.

That’s a step that should have been done before the engineers designed the plans, Sheaffer said last week, and should be more involved than a few meetings between the streetscape engineers and the Dixon Historic Preservation Commission, which is the process currently being used.

The historical markers and signage will come after the initial streetscape work, Reis said, because they’re more of a specialty project. The engineers will continue to meet with the preservation commission, of which McLane is a member, to establish a list of historical elements.

John Dixon statue Brown made two presentations to the City Council in April about designs for the northwest corner of the intersection of First Street and Peoria Avenue. The designs were ways to incorporate a proposed John Dixon statue, which had once been considered for the southeast corner of First Street and Hennepin Avenue.

It was Brown’s idea to move the statue to the west side of downtown, he said, which would allow for significantly more landscaping and space.

On May 5, the City Council decided to go with a design that allowed for more park-

ing in the lot and some landscaping, calling it a compromise. The decision, however, wasn’t unanimous.

Based on the suggestion of the sculptor and the Historic Preservation Commission, Brown recommended a larger design, which would call for the same number of spots as the current parking lot.

McLane and Sheaffer said the design chosen during the City Council meeting, which was meant to give Brown direction for a final design, was too small and lacked aesthetics and adequate landscaping, things that would have been avoided, had a landscape architect been the lead professional.

Brown defended the design and aesthetics of the downtown, saying the engineers have tried to include elements proposed by residents, Dixon Main Street, and the City Council. “The actual corridor through downtown is pretty limited,� Brown said. “We tried to enhance the downtown user experience. There are aspects that will be added later on as the budget allows.�

Recent City Council decisions about the two sections of the downtown streetscape project haven’t been unanimous, and votes have fallen on either the side of beautification and functionality. “It’s a hard decision, and it’s an expensive project,� Reis said. “... It’s tough, and I think that’s why it’s taken several meetings.�

Sometimes, being a U.S. Supreme Court justice is very hard work.

After all, justices are required to divine just what the Founders really meant back when they wrote the United States Constitution in an age when guns meant muskets and mass communication meant posters nailed to posts – and then apply it to today’s hightech world as a true and faithful justice.

But other times, just every now and then, being a Supreme Court justice shouldn’t be hard work at all. Not even heavy lifting.

Because, occasionally, justices can make use of a vast collection of de facto constitutional Cliff Notes, in which the Founders themselves explain what they were really thinking and meaning.

If conservatives really wanted to be strict constructionists, this would be an invaluable tool. But when conservatives want to be political activists, they have been liberally discarding such inconveniences as intent and even precedence.

As in a Supreme Court ruling [last Monday] that was bizarrely out of synch with what the court’s conservative majority had to know the Framers wanted.

In a sharply divided 5 to 4 vote, the Court ruled that legislative assemblies such as town councils can start their sessions with prayers that regularly follow the precepts of one religion, such as Christianity. Invoking Jesus Christ and the Resurrection is OK, too.

The decision that started in the small upstate town of Greece, N.Y., may well have set thoughtful minds boggling throughout the land.

It probably started one body whirling beneath its famous gravestone in the Virginia countryside at Monticello, where Thomas Jefferson thought he’d clarified all of that centuries ago and could finally rest in peace.

Time out: We interrupt this column for a quickie quiz that will help us identify those most in need of reading all the way through it.

QUESTION: The place where the U.S. Constitution clearly states that there must be a “wall of separation� between “Church� and “State� is known as: A) The First Amendment.

B) The Second Amendment.

C) Somewhere else in the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

state� never appears in the Constitution or Bill of Rights.

ANSWER: D. So read on. The Constitution’s First Amendment begins with what has become commonly referred to as the “Establishment Clauseâ€? – “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof‌â€?

But Jefferson wisely understood the importance of leaving no doubt about the intentions of the Framers.

And so, on Jan. 1, 1802, as America’s third president, Jefferson picked up his pen and wrote his historic letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in Connecticut. In it, Jefferson carefully used the “separation of Church and State� phrase that he figured would make leave no doubt, for all time, in learned minds. “I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between Church & State.�

IN GREECE, N.Y., from 1999 to 2007, every town hall meeting reportedly began with a Christian prayer, which apparently was fine with today’s five conservative activists.

Justice Anthony M. Kennedy emphasized in the majority opinion that, after all, the town council didn’t blatantly intimidate non-Christians.

Justice Clarence Thomas went further than his majority colleagues, questioning whether the establishment clause even applies to states or local bodies at all. Maybe only the national government cannot establish a national religion, he opined. But states and localities can?

The reasoning process of the conservative majority (all five are Catholics) is nothing short of horrific; they just don’t get how intimidation happens.

The four dissenters (three are Jewish, one is Catholic; yes, today’s Court has no Protestants) understood the dangers of silent religious intimidation. It can be strong enough to shatter the wall of separation between church and state, built brick by brick by the Founders who expected it would forever make America special.

National guardsmen open fire on crowd Leader: There were unspecified number of deaths KRASNOARMEISK, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian national guardsmen opened fire Sunday on a crowd outside a town hall in eastern Ukraine and an official for the region’s

insurgents said there were fatalities.

The bloodshed in the town of Krasnoarmeisk occurred hours after dozens of guardsmen shut down voting in a referendum on sovereignty for the region.

An Associated Press photographer who witnessed the shooting said two people were seen

lying unmoving on the ground, and insurgent leader Denis Pushilin was quoted by the ITAR-Tass news agency as saying there were an unspecified number of deaths.

Several hours earlier, guardsmen came to the town about 20 miles from the regional capital, Donetsk, and dis-

persed referendum voting that was taking place outside the town hall and they took control of the building. In the evening, more guardsmen arrived in a van, and a scuffle broke out with people who were gathered around the building. Then the guardsmen fired shots.

been gripped by unrest for the past month as pro-Russia insurgents occupied police stations and government buildings. Ukrainian forces have mounted a limited offensive to try to drive them out.

The Donetsk and Luhansk regions on Sunday conducted referendums on declaring the

regions as so-called sovereign people’s republics. Leaders of the vote, which is regarded as illegitimate by the central government and the West, say that sometime after the referendum, a decision will be made on whether to remain part of Ukraine, declare independence or seek annexation into Russia.

Abducted girl scared to go back to school Investigators: Riskier

wells were not inspected

Police: 53 students have escaped from Islamic extremists BAUCHI, Nigeria (AP) – One of the teenagers who escaped from Islamic extremists who abducted more than 300 schoolgirls says the kidnapping was “too terrifying for words,� and she is now scared to go back to school.

Sarah Lawan, a 19-year-old science student, spoke Sunday as Nigerians prayed for the safety of the 276 students still held captive. Their prayers were joined by Pope Francis. “Let us all join in prayer for the immediate release of the schoolgirls kidnapped in Nigeria,� the Roman Catholic leader tweeted, using the trending hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.

Lawan told The Associated Press that more of the girls could have escaped, but that they were frightened by their captors’ threats to shoot them. She spoke in the local Hausa language in a phone interview from Chibok, her home and the site of the mass abduction in northeast Nigeria.

Dozens gathered to join the international effort to rescue the 276 schoolgirls being held captive by Islamic extremists in northeastern Nigeria. cue those who remain captive 4 weeks later has attracted mounting national and international outrage. Last week, Nigeria was forced to accept international help in the search, after ignoring offers for weeks.

More experts are expected in Nigeria to help rescue the girls, including U.S. hostage negotiators and others from Britain, France, China and Spain.

“I am pained that my other colleagues could not summon the courage to run away with me,� Lawan said. “Now I cry each time I come across their parents and see how they weep when they see me.�

Police say 53 students have escaped. Nigeria’s homegrown Boko Haram terrorist network is threatening to sell those who remain in captivity into slavery.

In churches across the nation, Nigerians prayed for the girls, whose plight has brought together ordinary people in a year that had seen growing dissension between Muslims and Christians, disagreements exacerbated by the increasingly deadly attacks of the Boko Haram terrorist network.

Africa’s most populous nation of 170 million has almost equal numbers of Christians and Muslims.

WASHINGTON (AP) – The government has failed to inspect thousands of oil and gas wells it considers potentially high risks for water contamination and other environmental damage, congressional investigators say.

The report, obtained

by The Associated Press before its public release, highlights substantial gaps in oversight by the agency that manages oil and gas development on federal and Indian lands.

Investigators said weak control by the Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management resulted from policies based on outdated science and from incomplete monitoring data.

The findings from the Government Accountability Office come amid an energy boom in the country and the increasing use of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. That process involves pumping huge volumes of water, sand and chemicals underground to split open rocks to allow oil and gas to flow.

It has produced major economic benefits, but also raised fears that the

chemicals could spread to water supplies.

The audit also said the BLM did not coordinate effectively with state regulators in New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah.

The bureau has become a symbol of federal overreach to industry groups opposed to government regulations related to oil and gas drilling. Environmental groups say the Obama administration needs to do more to guard against environmental damage.

In the coming months, the administration is expected to issue rules on fracking and methane gas emissions.

The report said the agency “cannot accurately and efficiently identify whether federal and Indian resources are properly protected or that federal and Indian resources are at risk of being extracted without agency approval.�

In response to the report, Tommy Beaudreau, a principal deputy assistant interior secretary, wrote that he generally agreed with the recommendations for improved state coordination and updated regulations.

Plays that tempt are best avoided

Grizzwells by Bill Schorr

An old proverb goes: Good habits result from resisting temptation.

That can apply at the bridge table. South is in four hearts.

West leads the diamond queen. What temptations must declarer avoid?

In the fourth chair, it was reasonable for South to open four hearts. A slam was unlikely opposite a passed partner and probably this opening would silence the opponents, who might have been able to do well in another suit.

From West’s lead, South knows that East has the diamond ace. So it is tempting to play low from the board.

However, here that would give West a chance to be a genius by shifting to the

spade eight. And when declarer plays the queen from the dummy, East ducks it.

(He knows West would have led a singleton if he had one, and would not have shifted

from four low spades.) Then the contract would fail; as it would if West had initially led a spade and East had ducked.

So, South covers with dummy’s diamond king, ruffs the second diamond and draws trumps. It is then tempting to lead a spade to force a way into the dummy to take the tempting club finesse. However, if East, reading West’s spade eight as the start of a high-low with a doubleton, ducks, the contract must fail.

Declarer will lose two spades, one diamond and one club.

South has 10 tricks via one spade, seven hearts and two clubs. After drawing trumps, declarer should cash his club ace and continue with the club queen. Then, when he gets to the dummy in spades, he discards a spade loser on the club jack. © 2014 UFS

ROCK FALLS HIGH SCHOOL

March Student of the Month Leeanna Wolf L

eeanna Wolf, 17, of Rock Falls, is Rock Falls High School’s March Student of the Month. She is the daughter of Lonnie and Traci Wolf, and has a sister, Adison, 15.

Favorite class: I love both chemistry and French, because in chemistry, we learn about how and why things work the way they do, and how it affects us in our everyday lives.

With French, I love learning about the different dialects, and speaking it is a lot of fun. Also, both teachers, Mrs. Purdy for chemistry and Mrs. Erickson-Bets for French, push their students to do better, which I think is great.

Top teacher: Mrs. Purdy. Not only does she teach us about chemistry, but she also teaches us about life and how even the smallest chemical indifference can have a major impact on humans. Also, she cares about her students a lot and wants them to succeed in life.

Extracurriculars: I’m involved with B.L.I.N.D., French Club, Thespian Troupe, and I participate in the plays.

After graduation: I’m going to be attending Harding University in Searcy, Ark. I would love to become a guidance counselor for high school students.

Best friend: Paige Gann. We’ve been best

friends since preschool.

The coolest thing about her is she isn’t afraid to speak her mind. Also, I know that, no matter what, she would drop everything to help me

through any situation, and she knows I would do the same for her.

Favorite singer and musical groups: Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, and Hunter Hayes

Favorite actors: Channing Tatum and Chris Evans Favorite TV show: “Sleepy Hollow�

Favorite movie: “Frozen�

Favorite food: Almond Joys, chicken stir-fry, and shrimp Biggest fear: Losing everyone I love What makes your blood boil? When people think

they are better than others and seeing students bully other students.

Hangouts: I love spending time at Sinnissippi Park, especially the walking paths, because it has such a calming atmosphere.

High school survival guide: Get involved with as many activities as you want.

Useless knowledge: The Pythagorean Theorem.

I can do it and tell you all about it, but I highly doubt I will ever use it.

I’m in the dictionary next to: Positive, because no matter how bad a situation is, I will always try my best to find the good in it.

Trading spaces: I would go to either Cassis, France, or Barcelona, Spain, because I loved being in both places when I was there in June 2013.

Read this: “And Then There Were None� by Agatha Christie Shout out to: My friends and family. Without you guys, I wouldn’t be who I am today, and I want to thank you for helping me become that person. I love all of you from the bottom of my heart. Also, to the Rock Falls High School administrators, staff, and faculty, thank you for everything you have done for the student body this year. You guys are seriously the best, and I’m going to miss you all next year.

Dunham’s Sports, Rue 21 opening later this year ACCENT

CONTINUED FROM A1

“We have some really loyal community people that support us, from Sterling, Rock Falls, Dixon, even Clinton, Iowa� and the smaller communities in the area, she said.

Best of all, business seems to be bouncing back from the recent recession. “I’m kind of feeling, since the first of the year, that the community is buzzing a little more,� she said.

Zumdahl started Accents 15 years ago, up the road in Burton Plaza, and moved to the mall 5 years later.

It’s been a good spot, she said, and it’s getting better. “I think it’s a good place to be right now,� said Zumdahl, who has a sales staff of five workers, plus herself. “There’s not much competition, at least for what I have, and they’re bringing in that huge big sporting goods store,� which will attract a lot of shoppers, she said.

That’s Dunham’s

ABOVE AND TOP RIGHT: Zumdahl started Accents 15 years ago at Burton Plaza in Sterling. RIGHT: While Zumdahl is excited to hit the road with her husband and spend time with their three grandchildren, she laments the fact that Dunham’s Sports’ 35,000-square foot store could give its Northland Mall neighbors a shot in the arm.

Sports, a national sporting goods chain that will take up 35,000 square feet of mall space when it opens in late summer or early fall, kitty-corner across from Accents. A

large “coming soon� sign now hangs in front of that space.

Hibbett Sporting Goods, which opened a store in the Walmart Supercenter plaza in Dixon in Sep-

tember, closed its Northland store in February, as did Kirlin’s Hallmark.

Shoe Sensation has since moved to a different spot to help make way for Dunham’s.

Rue 21, which sells clothing and accessories geared toward teens and young adults, plans to open around the end of the summer,

in Hallmark’s spot.

Karyn Brouilette, general manager of Northland Mall, could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon.

Coomes, Comets cruise Newman bats support starter in nonconference rout

BY PATRICK PETROSKY ppetrosky@saukvalley.com 800-798-4085 ext 5554

STERLING – The Comets used a pair of big innings to capture an 11-1, five-inning victory over Dakota in the first game of a nonconference doubleheader Saturday morning in Sterling.

The second game was played as more of a glorified scrimmage.

Dakota started the opener almost picture perfect, as its first two hitters reached base with singles to grab momentum. The Indians kept up the pressure, as Newman (14-8) couldn’t turn a double play on a grounder to shortstop, settling for one out and runners on the corners.

Trouble was avoided thanks to the Comets’ steadfast pitcher, Quincy Coomes,

Star of the game: Quincy Coomes, Newman, 5 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 6 K, 1 BB Up next: Riverdale at Newman, 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday who proceeded to strike out the next two Dakota batters to get out of the jam.

“I always struggle pitching at home, going out there first,” said Coomes. “I like being able to watch my guys bat and get some runs in before I go out there. I struggled a little bit, but came back from it.”

The bottom half of the first was one of the big innings for the Comets, as they sent 11 batters to the plate and scored five runs on five hits and a couple of errors.

hose of us who’ve been doing this for a while tend to spend hours at the end of each draft figuring out new ways to cop out on putting a grade or an opinion to just how well a team did with its picks.

And we should.

Analyzing a draft without giving the players selected at least 2 years to show what kind of players they are makes no sense.

But there’s something else that Bears general manager Phil Emery said toward the end of Night 2 of this draft that struck a chord with me: “Every player in the draft needs to get better at something.”

You all want to know just how good these kids the Bears drafted are.

What really matters is, how good can they be, and how many of them will reach their full potential?

I think I can give you an idea of how good most of the Bears’ picks can be, but we’ll have to check back in a couple of years to see how good they each become.

Kyle Fuller has the ability to be a No. 1 cover corner in the NFL, and the more man-to-man coverage he’s allowed to play, the better he’ll be. Fuller’s strength is he attacks a lot better than he reacts, so you don’t want to ask him to sit back and read and react.

NHL PLAYOFFS | WESTERN CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS | GAME 5 | BLACKHAWKS 2, WILD 1

Jeers turn to cheers at UC Hawks recover from lax 1st period for another home win

BY CHRIS KUC Chicago Tribune

CHICAGO – As the Blackhawks left the ice following a lackluster first period against the Wild on Sunday night, boos from the United Center crowd followed them down the tunnel.

The jeering was justified.

So were the cheers that enveloped the Hawks a couple of hours later in the immediate aftermath of their 2-1 victory that gave them a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven series that will continue Tuesday night in St. Paul, Minn.

“The crowd was frustrated, we were frustrated,” Marian Hossa said. “After the first [period], we

Star of the game: Jonathan Toews, Blackhawks, 4th game-winning goal of playoffs Up next: Game 6, Blackhawks at Wild, 8 p.m. Tuesday just came to the dressing room and [said] we just have to relax, we knew how we need to play.

We just needed to take a deep breath, relax and play hard.

“In the second and third, we were better ... and everybody is happy after the game.”

Jonathan Toews scored his NHL-high fourth game-winning goal of the playoffs in the third period, while Bryan Bickell also had a goal to make a winner of

goaltender Corey Crawford. He made 27 saves – allowing only an Erik Haula goal – to outduel Ilya Bryzgalov and help the Hawks seize momentum in the series.

The defending Stanley Cup champions broke out of their doldrums to remain undefeated at the UC in the postseason at 6-0, and become the first team in 20 second-round games around the NHL to win after the opposition scored the first goal.

The Hawks also improved to 7-0 in Game 5s of series tied at 2-2 since 2009. In the previous six series they’ve done that, the AP Hawks have gone on to advance The Blackhawks’ Bryan Bickell (29) scores against Wild goalie Ilya in six games.

Top 5 finishers

KANSAS CITY, Kan. – At any age, Jeff Gordon sure knows how to win.

Nearly two decades after he burst onto the scene with his first victory, Gordon keeps taking checkered flags, storming to the lead in the final laps at Kansas Speedway on Saturday night for his first victory of the season and 89th overall in NASCAR’s top series.

The 42-year-old Gordon held off a hard-charging Kevin Harvick on the final lap to move into the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field.

Gordon won for the first time since October at Martinsville, and became the ninth driver to win in the first 11 races this season. He entered the race with the points lead, but exclaimed a weight was lifted off his shoulders as he crossed the finish line for his third Kansas victory. “I’m just so proud of [the 24 team]. They have been giving me the best race cars all year long,�

Gordon said. “I have been having so much fun. I’m going to be 43 this year, and I feel like I’m 25 again. That is the way they make me feel.�

Kasey Kahne was third, followed by Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Danica Patrick was seventh for her best career Cup finish.

Gordon built his points lead on the strength of four top-fives, and seven top-10s in the first 10 races – including second-place finishes at Texas and Richmond – but he knew how much one win would ease pressure on his Hendrick Motorsports team.

He got it under the lights at Kansas. “This is so sweet,� he said. “What a huge weight lifted off this team’s shoulders. We needed to get to Victory Lane.�

Gordon is celebrating the 20th

Driver Danica Patrick walks through the garage area before practice Friday at Kansas Speedway. She finished seventh in Saturday’s race.

brought a needed jolt of electricity when she passed teammate Tony Stewart and Earnhardt to move into third with 95 laps left.

Patrick hadn’t finished better this season than 14th at Fontana, and her lone top-10 in the Cup series was an eighth-place finish in the 2013 Daytona 500.

She was shuffled back on a restart, costing her a top five.

Patrick beamed in the garage after the kind of finish she’d been striving for since her dazzling performance at Daytona more than a year ago.

Crew chief Tony Gibson told her, “Chicks rule, huh?� “I know that we haven’t had the best of times, but we work hard for it,� Patrick said. “This is the kind of stuff that materializes in wins. We’ve just got to keep hanging around and doing what we’re doing. I’m just proud of everyone for working really hard, and believing in me.�

Pagenaud won the inaugural Grand Prix of Indianapolis on Saturday, the first IndyCar Series race on IMS’ road course, by stretching his fuel the final 29 laps.

Ryan Hunter-Reay was second and Helio Castroneves third on his 39th birthday. “Man I didn’t know what we were asking for, but we made fuel,�

Pagenaud said in Victory Lane. “The fuel saving was amazing. It was nerve-wracking. I was worried about RHR coming back, and I didn’t know what Helio was doing here. I don’t like racing off throttle.�

After the start of the race was delayed 35 minutes by rain, the first Sprint Cup night race at Kansas soon left drivers in the dark after the lights went out on the backstretch. NASCAR polled drivers if they wanted to continue and they were good to go, with Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards among the many who said the track was bright enough to race.

With two wins already, Harvick has been a force in his first season at Stewart-Haas Racing, but his dominant Chevrolet ran out of gas on his last pit stop and lost time that he couldn’t recover. “I should have been paying attention to my pit road lights and should have got off pit road better,� he said. “I made a mistake at the end, and it cost us a chance to stay out in front of the 24.�

Free-agent haul Bears sign nine players the day after draft

BY ARTHUR ARKUSH Shaw Media

The Bears on Sunday confirmed the signings of nine undrafted rookies, including Northern Illinois quarterback and Heisman finalist Jordan Lynch.

The Bears also signed Louisville defensive tackle Brandon Dunn, Wisconsin guard Ryan Groy, TCU guard James Dunbar, Alabama linebacker Tana Patrick, Florida State linebacker Christian Jones, East Carolina defensive tackle Lee Pegues, Temple offensive tackle Cody Booth, and South Florida linebacker Devekeyan Lattimore.

Lynch is listed as a running back on the team’s news release.

After foregoing adding a linebacker during the draft, the Bears signed three, including Jones, widely considered one of the best prospects to go undrafted. NFL.com projected him as a second- to third-round prospect. He is an athletic, 4-3 outside linebacker who had 56 tackles last year for the national champions.

Groy was a third- to fourth-round prospect who played in a Wisconsin-record 54 games in his career, starting all 13 games at left guard last season.

General manager Phil Emery couldn’t get into specifics on undrafted players who had yet to sign as of his post-draft news conference Saturday night, but he said there was a lot of talent left from one of the deeper draft classes in recent memory. “[There] definitely still were a lot of quality players left on the board,�

Emery said. “We spent a lot of time between the

Jordan Lynch was one of four NIU players to be either drafted or signed as a free agent by NFL teams over the weekend. Lynch, who finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting last year as the Huskies’ quarterback, signed with his hometown Bears after going undrafted.

He is also physical enough to be outstanding forcing the run, and even though the Bears are saying no right now, he could have some success at safety if they change their minds.

Honestly, I liked C.J. Mosley better at 14, but that’s because of how much I like Mosley, and in no way a criticism of Fuller. Both players belonged in the top 10 to 15 picks.

Ego Ferguson was reasonable value where the Bears took him in the second round, and I think Will Sutton will prove to be a steal in the third round.

The truth is, I just don’t have as much information on Ferguson, but the scouts I respect tell me he has the potential to justify the pick.

I targeted Sutton months ago as somebody I really hoped the Bears would get – specifically for the three-technique – and I think he’ll remind you more of Tommie Harris in his prime than Henry Melton.

Running back Ka’Deem Carey troubles me. In spite of his great production in college, this pick resembles the Evan Rodriguez fourth-round pick, but he’s actually not the athlete Rodriguez was, and that’s out of character for Emery. The 4.7-second 40-yard dash at the combine is the reality, not a fluke.

What I like about safety Brock Vereen is that Emery identified the need and the opportunity to trade up and get him, and moved aggressively to come back into the fourth

NIU signees

Jordan Lynch isn’t your average undrafted free agent.

The former Northern Illinois football star and third-place finisher in the 2013 Heisman Trophy balloting always believed he’s deserved a shot at quarterback.

And this writer who watched him dominate the past 2 years believes the same thing.

Maybe Lynch still gets a shot with the Bears, a team he agreed to terms with as an undrafted free agent after he was passed over in the 2014 NFL Draft. Former NIU safety Jimmie Ward was selected by the San Francisco 49ers with the 30th overall pick, while defensive tackle Ken Bishop was taken by the Cowboys in the seventh round.

Defensive end Joe Windsor was signed by Dallas as an undrafted free agent, as well.

But if the Bears’ brass doesn’t think Lynch is a quarterback, he has the luxury of having other options most of the

Lynch signed with the Bears to play running back, a position analaysts have predicted he would fit well should quarterback not work out. It will be interesting to see how well he sticks there, and if there are any type of wildcat-type packages the Bears use him in.

There are plenty of college quarterbacks who switched positions in the NFL. Antwaan RandleEl was a stud at Indiana before moving on to be a Pro Bowl wideout in the NFL. Patriots wide

receiver Julian Edelman was a quarterback at Kent State; he even played some defensive back for New England 3 years ago. Michael Robinson was Penn State’s signal-caller before the San Francisco 49ers switched him to running back.

Brian Mitchell became a record-setting return man after playing quarterback at Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette).

While Lynch has flaws that forced him to settle for being an undrafted free agent, he proved enough at NIU to deserve a shot to play under center. Sure, all 32 teams passed on him, but NIU was the only team to offer him a scholarship to play quarterback when he was coming out of Mt. Carmel High School ... and that turned out all right.

Maybe he becomes a full-time running back, maybe he still gets a shot as a quarterback. It’s a great luxury Lynch will be able to take advantage of.

Virginia Tech’s Kyle Fuller (17) could become the next big playmaker in the Bears secondary. round without overpaying. He’s not special, but he’s more than capable of fitting with, and beating out the other safeties the Bears have now. It’s easy to envision him becoming a starter.

David Fales is strictly a developmental project at quarterback, and it’s hard to get excited about him after Emery told us 2 weeks ago those picks almost never work out.

Minimally, he might consider changing his last name.

I am comfortable in predicting that Patrick O’Donnell will be the Bears’ punter into the next decade – great value for a sixth-round pick.

All I can tell you about offensive tackle Charles

Leno Jr. is that I talked to two teams who said they considered him in the fifth and sixth rounds before addressing other needs, and the Bears got him in the seventh. And I’m fairly sure he’s not related to Jay. I suspect this draft has left some of you a bit flat, because it lacks the home-run hitters you can really only find at the offensive skill positions or with a big-time pass rusher.

But those spots are already filled on the Bears, and this draft for Emery was about looking for stars in the supporting roles.

He’s found some interesting and capable players to audition.

Nate Olson drove in a pair of runs in the inning, and seniors Michael Ely and A.J. Sharp also had one each. “We worked our way out of a pretty tough spot in the first,� Newman coach Tom Wilson said. “We scored five runs, and then we were complacent, and we didn’t hit the ball well.

But Coomes responded again, this time getting a groundout and a strikeout to get out of the inning and strand two runners. “It’s always nice to pitch with a lead,� said Coomes. “It lets you relax and kind of do your thing.

Wilson said. “Every game we can count on him, and we know what we will get out of him. We play good defense behind him, and he does have the ability to

work himself out of jams.�

The Indians didn’t put up a fight from the plate in the final two frames, as they went down 1-2-3 in the fourth and fifth.

Coomes pitched a complete game, giving up the one earned run and four hits, while striking out six and walking only one batter.

The Comets put the game away in the fifth, once again exploding at the plate to more than double their run tally.

It took only nine batters this time to score six runs, ending the game via the mercy rule.

Dillan Heffelfinger, Alex Buhler, and brothers Brandon and Alex Burke each had an RBI for the Comets. Junior Shayne Allen got the last hit of the day, as he drove in two runs to get his team

to the 10-run lead they needed to end the game. “If our lead hitters don’t hit, then our bottom hitters will hit, and then we will pour on the hits,�

Allen said. “It’s really nice seeing our seven or nine hitter hitting just as well as everyone else on the team. “We want to peak at regionals. We’re not playing our best ball, and haven’t played a perfect game yet. But we’re doing pretty well.�

Game 2 was a bit of a free-for-all, as Dakota said it had run out of piching for the week and, with an NUIC East game looming today, didn’t want to play a second game. Everyone batted for both teams, and there were free substitutions on defense throughout the contest.

also did an admirable job clearing loose pucks in front of Bryzgalov.

The Hawks came out with more purpose in the second period, when they upped their shot total to 15. One of them tied the game when Bickell cashed in on a Hawks power play. Peter Regin, who was inserted into the lineup for the first time since April 12 with Andrew Shaw injured and Brandon Bollig suspended, made an impact when his strong rush to the net resulted in a hooking penalty by Jonas Brodin.

With the man advantage, Patrick Kane fired a shot that Bickell redirected past Bryzgalov to send a jolt into the crowd – and his teammates.

Not long after Crawford made a strong save on a quality Cody McCormick chance, the Hawks

CONTINUED FROM B1

The Wild continued to do what they have done best in the series during the first period. After surviving an initial push by the Hawks, Minnesota eventually took over the pace and controlled the action. Haula made it pay off with a terrific individual effort when he skated through the Hawks defense and put a shot on Crawford that the goalie stopped. The rebound, however, came back to Haula and the forward batted it into the net for a 1-0 lead.

When the dust had settled on the first, the Hawks had mustered just six shots on goal as they continued to be stymied by the Wild clogging the neutral zone. Minnesota

took the lead on Toews’ goal. The captain battled in front of the Wild net and, during a scramble, chipped a backhander just over the goal line. “As a group, we always recognize when we don’t bring the right effort,�

Toews said. “I don’t think we were flat, by any means, but slowly as the game went along, we found ways to play better as a five-man unit.

Once one line would go out there and generate a good shift and get us some energy, the next line would follow it right up. That’s when we’re an effective team, is when we have four lines going like that and contributing.�

The 28 shots the Hawks sent on Bryzgalov topped their previous high of 22 in the series, as they were able to generate speed and find shooting lanes.
