A guide to gun-carry bill’s future

BACKLOG AT THE VETERANS AFFAIRS HEALTH SYSTEM

A long wait for help

What to know about law awaiting Gov.’s signature By KEVIN P. CRAVER kcraver@shawmedia.com A hard-fought compromise bill allowing Illinois residents to legally carry concealed weapons is on Gov. Pat Quinn’s desk. But Quinn, a staunch gun-control advocate, faces the Damoclean sword of a July 9 deadline set by a federal court that invalidated the state’s ban on concealed carry. House Bill 183 passed both houses on the last day of the spring session May 31, with the three-fifths majorities needed to override a veto. The following is a guide to how this debate got started, and what the bill will do.

Veteran Francisca Dimas takes a rest while posing for a portrait Tuesday outside her Woodstock apartment. Dimas served in Afghanistan from 20082009 and has been diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury and has had surgery on both her knees. She applied for Veterans Affairs disability in 2010 and has been waiting three years for her claim to be rated so she can start getting medical compensation.

Processing delayed in 82 percent of Chicago-area VA claims By STEPHEN Di BENEDETTO sdibenedetto@shawmedia.com WOODSTOCK – Francisca Dimas has gone from serving her country in Afghanistan to struggling to survive the civilian world, as the veteran’s medical costs mount and a three-year wait for her disability claim lingers.

Dimas, a 40-year-old single mother, typically starts her day at 3 a.m. to get ready for the long trek from her garden-level apartment in Woodstock to a Veteran Affairs clinic in North Chicago to receive treatment and therapy for a litany of medical conditions, before returning to attend classes at McHenry County College and working a part-time job to support her

Q: How did we get concealed carry? A: The U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down Illinois’ ban on concealed carry last December, concluding that the Second Amendment applies outside of an individual’s home. A downstate woman who was savagely attacked while working as a church treasurer sued in 2011 – she has handguns and firearms training but was unarmed because of the law. Realizing the public safety issues involved, the appeals court granted Illinois lawmakers a deadline of

NSA revelations sparks privacy debate How much is too much surveillance in the name of national security? By ADAM GELLER

Inside

The Associated Press NEW YORK – For more than a decade now, Americans have made peace with the uneasy knowledge that someone – government, business or both – might be watching. We knew that the technology was there. We knew that the law might allow it. As we stood under a security camera at a street corner, connected with friends online or talked

face with modern reality: The government IS collecting our phone records. The technological marvels of our age have opened the door to the National Security Agency’s sweeping surveillance of Americans’ calls. Torn between our desires for privacy and protection, we’re now forced to decide what we really want. “We are living in an age of surveillance,” said Neil Richards, a professor at Washing-

ton University’s School of Law in St. Louis who studies privacy law and civil liberties. “There’s much more watching and much more monitoring, and I think we have a series of important choices to make as a society – about how much watching we want.” But the only way to make those choices meaningful, he and others said, is to lift the

Northwest Herald Web Poll Question

Why 2013 seems like 1984 The following obituary crossed my desk late last week. I didn’t know what else to do with it, so I thought I might as well share it here.

U.S. PRIVACY Born: July 4, 1776 Died: Somewhere between 2006 and 2013 WASHINGTON, D.C. – Ulysses “U.S” Privacy, about 230 years old, originally from Philadelphia, Pa., died in seclusion at some point over the past seven years of a debilitating disease known as Orwellianoceania Voterapathasia. Born at the dawn of the American era to several Founding Fathers and a humble yet beautiful mother named Lady Liberty, U.S. Privacy was an heir to the estate of his wealthy and articulate uncle, Bill O’Rights, and the protector of his uncle’s precious Fourth Amendment. So proud of his Uncle Bill and honored to be selected to watch over this Fourth Amendment, Mr. Privacy dedicated his entire life to preserving its motto: “The right of the people to be secure

in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” For two centuries, Mr. Privacy fulfilled his life’s purpose admirably, if not perfectly. The citizenry who the Amendment was written to protect went about its collective life as intended, without the unnecessary intrusion of Big Brother monitoring its every action.

••• OK, all kidding aside, what the #%&#???? We’re supposed to trust that our federal government is using the data it collects from sweeping our phone calls and Internet visits only if it thinks national security is at risk? And we’re also supposed to trust that politics doesn’t guide the IRS when it decides whether a tax audit is warranted? President Obama, Congress, and anyone else who’s monitoring as I type this on my computer, stay out of my business! If the federal government can play so fast and loose with the Fourth Amendment, maybe we should be worrying about the First, the Second and the entirety of the Bill of Rights. George Orwell’s prescience is amazing. He was just about 30 years off.

The Associated Press HOUSTON – Houston resident Cheryl Strain’s inexperience with guns was apparent as she struggled to load shells into a 20-gauge shotgun. Over the piercing blasts of gunfire in the shooting range, Strain’s instructor, Dan Blackford, patiently directed her on how to use her thumb to shove a shell all the way inside the barrel and feel it click. “Now we got a round in the chamber ready to go,” Blackford said as he positioned her body on the right way to hold the shotgun. “Look down your sight, put that BB right in the middle of your target and press the trigger.” Strain’s northwest Houston community of Oak Forest is the first neighborhood in the country being trained and equipped by the Armed Citizen Project, a Houston nonprofit that is giving away free shotguns to single women and residents of neighborhoods with high crime rates. While many cities have tried gun buy-backs and other tactics in the ongoing national debate on gun control, the nonprofit and its supporters say gun giveaways to responsible owners are actually a better way to de-

Strain lives in the northwest Houston community of Oak Forest, the first residential area being trained and equipped by a nonprofit that is giving away free shotguns to single women and neighborhoods with high crime rates. ter crime. The organization, which plans to offer training classes in Dallas, San Antonio, and Tucson, Ariz., in the next few weeks, is working to expand its giveaways to 15 cities by the end of the year, including Chicago and New York. But others in Houston, while expressing support for Second Amendment rights, question whether more guns will result in more gun-related deaths rather than less crime. Residents of Oak Forest say their neighborhood, made up of older one-story houses

and a growing number of new townhomes, has experienced a recent rash of driveway robberies and home burglaries. On a recent Sunday afternoon, a group of 10 residents, including Strain, went through training at Shiloh Shooting, a northwest Houston gun range. Kyle Coplen, the project’s 29-year-old founder said his group expects to train at least 50 Oak Forest residents and put up signs saying the neighborhood is armed. “When we have a crime wave, we don’t just say let’s just increase police and

that’s all we do. We do multiple things. I see this as one aspect of what we can do,” said Coplen, who graduated from the University of Houston with a master’s degree in public administration. It costs the organization about $300 to arm and train an individual and about $20,000 for an entire neighborhood. All costs are paid through donations, said Coplen, though he declined to say how much his organization has raised so far. While some residents in the neighborhood are supportive, several officials have mixed feelings about it. Sandra Keller, Strain’s neighbor, said she is participating in part because of the helplessness she felt after her furniture store was robbed a couple of years ago. “If you don’t have a gun, you’re just a walking victim. You’re just waiting for somebody to take advantage of you and your property,” said Keller, 64, after practicing at the shooting range. But Houston City Councilwoman Ellen Cohen, who represents Oak Forest, said, “I have serious concerns about more guns in homes.” Cohen said she supports Second Amendment rights and believes that such a responsibility should include proper training and background checks.

“Privacy is dead, the victim of a complacent citizenry. But the populace is safe, so all must be well.”

By JUAN A. LOZANO

59% 41%

But beginning about Sept. 11, 2001, when the unholy scourge known as International Terrorism struck Mr. Privacy’s homeland, his fortitude began to weaken. Worried that International Terrorism might spread like a disease across the land, the descendants of the Founding Fathers developed two antidotes – Patriot Actosia and, simply, FISA – that they said would help keep the scourge at bay. As payment for the antidotes, however, the citizenry unwittingly agreed to take its own medicine. This medicine was introduced into our homes, and our computers, and our cellphones. Not to worry, though, the prescribing doctor said. The citizenry wouldn’t even notice, and the technicians, who worked for an agency called the NSA, wouldn’t do anything untoward with the data. The NSA isn’t the IRS, after all. The important thing is that the citizenry would be safe. That’s all that mattered. But as the medicine seemed to be doing its job fighting the spread of International Terrorism inside the homeland’s borders, it had the opposite effect on Mr. Privacy. His strength began to deteriorate, and he eventually disappeared from the public eye. Satisfied with their affluence and content that International Terrorism was all but beaten at home, the citizenry quickly forgot about Mr. Privacy. It wasn’t until a report last week from across the pond, from a media outlet from Mother England, did the electorate realize that Mr. Privacy had

long since passed. Passing with him was part of his Uncle Bill’s long-lost estate – the Fourth Amendment. And as the citizenry tapped away on its keyboards, and jabbered away on its cellphones, and avoided its polling places like the plague, it remained content that it was safe. Mr. Privacy has since faded from memory. The only reminder of his legacy is a tombstone, on which are enscribed these words:

Man who fled Farmer recalls roadway accident U.S. on murder charge arrested The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A former Chicago store owner who fled the U.S. in 1979 after being accused of killing a shoplifter was arrested at O’Hare International Airport while trying to return to the country to attend a graduation ceremony, authorities said Saturday. Ata Yousef El Ammouri, 65, was taken into custody Friday after arriving on a flight from Jordan, where he has been living, the Cook County sheriff’s office said in a statement. El Ammouri is accused of shooting 31-year-old Joe Harris on the morning of July 22, 1979, after Harris walked out of El Ammouri’s store on Chicago’s South Side without paying for a can of beer. El Ammouri was charged with murder but posted $100,000 bail and disappeared. He received additional

charges for jumping bail in November 1979 after he failed to show up for court proceedings. Authorities believed at the time that he had fled to avoid prosecution. El Ammouri was brought to bond court Saturday and ordered held without bond. It was not immediately clear if he had an attorney. His next court date was set for Monday. The operation to track and arrest him also involved the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service, the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Embassy in Jordan. Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said the man’s arrest after 34 years “should send a message that the simple passage of time does not eradicate our commitment to bringing fugitives to justice.”

8STATE BRIEFS Ex-high school worker charged with sex abuse

State restores funding for charter school

LAKE FOREST – A former employee of a northern Illinois high school drama program is being accused of having sexual relationships with underage students. Thirty-year-old Benjamin M. Davidson of North Chicago was arrested Friday and is being held in Lake County Jail in lieu of $100,000 in bond. Davidson worked as a manager in the drama department of Lake Forest High School. In a statement, Lake Forest police said Davidson is charged with criminal sexual assault, aggravated criminal sexual abuse and child pornography. Police said he had sexual relationships with two students younger than age of 18. He’s also accused of coercing a minor into posing for sexually explicit photographs. The school said it became aware of the allegations in March and that Davidson resigned when confronted over the matter.

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration has restored taxpayer funding for the state’s largest charter school operator, saying it has addressed concerns about nepotism and conflicts of interest. Chicago’s United Neighborhood Organization is the recipient of a $98 million state school-construction grant. But Quinn cut off funding after the Chicago Sun-Times reported in April that $8.5 million had gone to companies owned by relatives of a top UNO executive. On Saturday the newspaper reported UNO will receive the next $6.2 million installment of its grant. Sandra Jones is a spokeswoman for the state agency that oversees the grant. She said UNO has “taken several steps to change the way it operates” and will be closely monitored.

Ambulance crew drives into Chicago shootout CHICAGO – An ambulance traveling through Chicago’s West Side came upon a shootout that forced the paramedics to duck for cover and call police. Fire Department spokesman Larry Langford said the ambulance crew was headed through East Garfield Park early Saturday morning when they spotted people crouching down for cover. They heard gunshots and realized they had stumbled upon a shootout. Langford said the paramedics took cover and called police. The shooting injured two men. One was shot in the head, the other in the chest. No paramedics were hurt and the ambulance was not hit by gunfire. The paramedics who witnessed the shooting helped transport the men to Stroger Hospital.

LORAINE – Battered and bloodied, Randy Wilcox remembers crawling along Route 336 heading back to his tractor. Dazed but still conscious, he pressed a button on his cellphone, making the attempt to reach his son, Andy. “I could hardly talk,” Wilcox said. “I told him I just got hit.” That call was the last for the phone. “It was no good after that. It wouldn’t work at all,” Wilcox said. “It did make that last call.” The cellphone may have died in the Oct. 11, 2011, accident when a vehicle struck the tractor from behind, but Wilcox was spared. “Everybody can’t figure out how I survived,” he said. “I’m a very fortunate man. The good Lord wasn’t ready for me to pass away.”

ROUTINE TRIP Wilcox and his son had been tearing out fence that Tuesday on rented land just south of the Adams-Hancock county line. They quit just about dusk, with Andy heading to one farm and Wilcox to another on a utility tractor, a trip that had become routine for him over the years – until that night. Wilcox pulled out onto Ill. 336, heading south on a flat stretch of highway, a place where the tractor’s lights could be seen for miles. Then another vehicle came up behind Wilcox and struck the tractor.

Randy Wilcox checks on his cattle May 10 at his farm near Loraine. WIlcox was driving a tractor on a highway from one farm to another in October 2011 when a vehicle struck the tractor he was driving in the rear, leaving him with multiple injuries.

“I must have landed to the right. I was in the right-hand lane, which I should have been, but I can’t remember how far away I landed,” he said. And even though the tractor was equipped with a seat belt, Wilcox said it’s a good thing he wasn’t wearing it. “If I had it on, I don’t know what would have happened. This way, it threw me completely clear of the tractor. It did break the tractor pretty much in half and messed everything up by where I would sit,” he said. “This would be one of the instances I guess where a seat belt would have been a hindrance instead of a help.”

HEALING The impact threw him “a long ways” off the tractor and onto the road. “It broke my left ankle, broke a whole bunch of ribs. I had head lacerations, a collapsed lung. They had to take my spleen out. It messed up my shoulders real bad,” Wilcox said. “It laid me up for probably the biggest part of six months.” Looking at the tractor confirmed how lucky Wilcox was to be alive. The accident “pretty well broke the tractor in two,” he said. “The back of the tractor and the front of the tractor were held together with hydraulic line that hadn’t busted and electrical lines going to the back fender.” The only thing still working was the lights. “There was no doubt if I had proper lighting,” Wilcox

said.

SEAT BELT Despite the seriousness of the accident and his injuries, Wilcox said some things still worked in his favor. Ambulance crews were meeting nearby and “got there right away and got me down to the hospital,” he said. “They told me I was bleeding pretty bad internally.” Wilcox didn’t know the other vehicle was closing in fast – and he didn’t brace himself for the impact. If he had, “I might have been in worse shape,” Wilcox said. “I’m lucky nobody hit me when I was crawling back to the tractor.” The driver who hit the tractor swerved and went on around Wilcox before stopping farther up the road.

Medical care in Quincy and in Columbia, Mo., helped speed his recovery, and so did his family. His sons managed the farm work while Wilcox recovered, and his girlfriend, now wife, Kathy, “helped me through all this,” he said. By January 2012, he was back helping to check on the cattle, and he had healed enough to plant crops last spring. “I had operations after that to fix some problems and I still may have some more yet to do,” he said. “I’m in pretty good shape right now. I’ve got things that are never going to be quite right, but that’s just part of life. I can do a lot of everything of what I used to do ... You don’t realize until something happens how fortunate you are to be able to get up and do everything you do every day.”

Durbin: Stop student loan interest rate hike CHICAGO – Sen. Dick Durbin said Congress must act to stop interest rates on some student loans from doubling. The rate hike is scheduled to occur July 1 on federally subsidized Stafford loans. Durbin said that could mean more than 365,000 Illinois students with Stafford loans would have to pay almost $1,000 more in interest over the life of their loan. The interest rate is set to increase from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. Durbin supports a Senate proposal to keep the interest rate level for two years while Congress works on a long-term plan for the federal student loan program. That legislation stalled this week after a Republican filibuster. A Republican proposal also failed. The Illinois Democrat said lawmakers must ensure education is affordable for students from working and middle-income families.

Obama wraps up Calif. summit Police: Santa Presses China’s Monica killings Xi Jinping on cybersecurity premeditated By JULIE PACE

The Associated Press

By TAMI ABDOLLAH

RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. – President Barack Obama pushed Chinese leader Xi Jinping to do more to address the online theft of U.S. intellectual and other property coming from his country and said the hacking is “inconsistent with the kind of relationship we want to have with China,” a top White House aide said. Obama national security adviser Tom Donilon said discussion of cybersecurity took up much of the Saturday morning meeting between the two leaders, which ended with few policy breakthroughs but the prospect of stronger personal ties. Donilon said Obama described in detail instances of hacking against U.S. companies by entities in China and said the U.S. didn’t have any doubt who was behind them. “The president underscored that resolving this issue was really key to future economic U.S.-China relations,” Donilon told reporters after about eight hours of meetings Friday and Saturday. The gathering at the sprawling Sunnylands estate was their first meeting since Xi took office in March. Donilon said Obama “asked that the Chinese government engage on this issue and understand that if it’s not addressed, if it continues to be this direct theft of United States property,

SANTA MONICA, Calif. – Police investigating why a heavily armed gunman plotted a rampage that killed four people and wounded several others were focused Saturday on how the violence began: directed at his own family. What started as domestic violence led to a chaotic street shooting spree and ended less than 15 minutes later in the Santa Monica College Library where the gunman was killed Friday by police as students studying for finals ran for cover or hunkered down to avoid whizzing bullets. Investigators were looking at family connections to find a motive because the killer’s father and brother were the first victims, an official briefed on the probe who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly told The Associated Press. The killer, who died a day shy of his 24th birthday, was connected to the home that went up in flames after the first shootings, said Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks. She refused to elaborate or name the suspect because a surviving family member was out of the country and couldn’t immediately be notified. At an afternoon news conference next to the weapons and ammo found at multiple crime scenes, Seabrooks said

President Barack Obama (right) walks with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Annenberg Retreat at Sunnylands on Saturday in Rancho Mirage, Calif. The issue of online espionage hangs over the summit. Obama said it was critical that the U.S. and China reach a “firm understanding” on cyber issues. that this was going to be very difficult problem in the economic relationship and was going to be an inhibitor to the relationship really reaching its full potential.” Xi’s senior foreign policy adviser, Yang Jiechi, told reporters that cybersecurity shouldn’t be the cause of friction but an area of cooperation for two nations that face similar challenges. Yang said China “is against all forms of hacking and cyberattacks. China itself is also a victim of cyberattacks and we are a staunch supporter of cybersecurity.” Yang said the two leaders “blazed a new trail” away from the two nations’ past differences in the summit and

Immigration debate to focus on learning English, paying taxes By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Memo to supporters of bipartisan legislation moving to the Senate floor: Make sure you stress that immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally would have to work, learn English, pass a background check and, especially, pay taxes before they could gain citizenship. Emphasize that 100 percent of the U.S.-Mexican border will be put under surveillance, that immigrants who gain legal status won’t be eligible for welfare “for over a decade” and that anyone entering the United States unlawfully in the future will be barred from legal status. Don’t forget to tag critics of the bill as defenders of a status quo that’s unpopular with the public. That’s the poll-tested advice distributed to Senate Democrats recently on a measure that offers the best chance in years to overhaul the nation’s immigration system, at the same time it gives President Barack Obama an opportunity for a landmark second-term domestic triumph. It may sound simple, given that a bipartisan group of eight senators drafted the bill and then shepherded it

through the Senate Judiciary Committee; that the White House, organized labor and the Chamber of Commerce all support the measure; and that many Republican political strategists want the GOP to show a more welcoming face to Hispanic voters. It won’t be. Presidential ambitions alone will see to that, as Sen. Marco Rubio, for one, attempts a political straddle while other potential GOP presidential candidates firmly oppose the measure. The Florida Republican helped negotiate the bipartisan bill now headed to the full Senate, and recently has called for changes as he tries to keep faith with tea party supporters and other conservatives who will vote in the 2016 primaries and caucuses. Internal divisions in the Republican party, deeply held differences over policy, concerns over costs and more add to the complexity of legislation that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has said must come to a final vote by July 4. “In truth, the bill is amnesty first and a promise of enforcement later,” Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., said Friday, previewing points he and other conservative opponents intend to make over the next three weeks.

“talked about cooperation and did not shy away from differences.” “The two presidents agreed to build a new model of major country relationship between China and the United States based on mutual respect and win-win cooperation,” Yang said. “We have to stay each other’s partners, not rivals,” Yang said. Donilon also said the leaders found “quite a bit of alignment” on the subject of North Korea and “agreed that North Korea has to be denuclearized and that neither country will accept North Korea as a nuclear-armed state.” The leaders left the final remarks on the summit to their

aides and closed the summit in low-key style, with no formal statements to the press, just a tea with Xi’s wife. The White House said in a statement shortly after Xi departed the sprawling estate that the two nations agreed to work together for the first time to reduce hydrofluorocarbons, a potent greenhouse gas. The agreement was cast as a significant step toward tackling climate change. U.S. officials are hoping that Xi, who took office in March, proves to be a new brand of Chinese leader. He has deeper ties to the U.S. than his predecessors, given that he lived in Iowa briefly as a visiting official and sent his daughter to college in the U.S.

the “cowardly murderer” planned the attack and was capable of firing 1,300 rounds. “Any time someone puts on a vest, of some sort, comes out with a bag full of loaded magazines, has an extra receiver, has a handgun and has a semi-automatic rifle, carjacks folks, goes to a college, kills more people and has to be neutralized at the hands of the police, I would say that that’s premeditated,” she said. The killer had a run-in with police seven years ago, but Seabrooks wouldn’t offer more details because he was a juvenile at the time. His father, Samir Zawahri, 55, brought his family to the neighborhood of small homes and apartment buildings tucked up against Interstate 10 in the mid-1990s, according to property records. Not long after arriving on Yorkshire Avenue, the couple went through a difficult divorce and split custody of their two boys, said Thomas O’Rourke, a neighbor. “It was not an easy breakup,” O’Rourke said. “It was a bitter divorce.” When the sons got older, one went to live with his mother while the other stayed with the father. “The father was a very nice gentleman,” O’Rourke said. “But the boys just kind of kept to themselves. Didn’t really socialize with any of the neighbors.”

State laws varied on gun, abortion By BILL BARROW The Associated Press MONTGOMERY, Ala. – The U.S. Supreme Court says women in America can terminate a pregnancy and that every citizen has an individual right to own a firearm, but those rulings have done little to settle political arguments over abortion and guns. The result is an uneven medley of state laws, which means that just how you can exercise those constitutional rights depends on where you live, and the differences often turn on whether a state is run by Democrats or Republicans. Governors and state lawmakers continue sharpening the disparities with new abortion statutes and a range of gun laws, several of which followed the mass killing last year at a Connecticut elementary school. Republican-controlled states typically make it harder to procure an abortion but easier to buy weapons and carry them where you please. Live in a state where Democrats run things? You’re less likely to have a waiting period before ending a pregnancy but more likely to have one before buying a gun, and you may not to be able to buy certain semi-automatic weapons at all. Many Democratic lawmakers reacted to the December massacre at the Sandy Hook elementary school with calls for tighter gun restrictions. Many Republican legislators worked to relax gun-carrying laws and put more weapons into schools, from hiring guards to arming teachers and principals. Constitutional law expert Randy Barnett, at Georgetown University Law Center, said the landscape demonstrates that politics is at play before and after the Supreme Court weighs in. “It’s not a matter of sophisticated constitution-

al law,” Barnett said, but of “hot-button wedge issues for one side of the spectrum or the other.’” The lesson also extends to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul and wrangling over same-sex marriage laws. The Supreme Court ratified the main parts of the health care law, but Republicans at the state level have frustrated its implementation. On marriage, the court as early as Monday could release decisions in two cases. Most legal analysts expect declarations that allow stateby-state debates to continue, rather than an absolute ruling that mandates same-sex marriage equality everywhere. Different practical outcomes around the country result from justices recognizing citizens’ constitutional rights to abortion and gun ownership, while also seeing room for “reasonable regulation,” Barnett said. “That gives a huge opening to political movements attempting to push the boundaries of what can be called ‘reasonable.’” Out of 27 legislatures that Republicans control outright, at least 23 have passed measures in the past two years that NARAL Pro-Choice America, a leading abortion-rights group, calls “anti-choice.” Assigning each state an overall letter grade for their access laws, NARAL rated 22 of the GOP-run states as failing. Only Montana rated an A. Among the 18 states controlled by Democrats, 11 scored an A, and the only one to rate lower than a C was Rhode Island, which received a D plus. On firearms, Democratic statehouses haven’t gone as far with restrictive legislation as Republicans have on abortion. But the tightest limits – and the newest – still come almost entirely in more liberal states.

8NATION BRIEFS Operator in Pa. collapse deaths turns self in PHILADELPHIA – A heavy equipment operator with a lengthy rap sheet who is accused of being high on marijuana when a downtown building collapsed onto a thrift store, killing six people, surrendered Saturday to face charges in the deaths, police said. Sean Benschop faces six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of risking a catastrophe. A warrant had been issued for his arrest and police had been searching for him. Authorities believe the 42-year-old Benschop was using an excavator Wednesday when the remains of the four-story building gave way and toppled onto an attached Salvation Army thrift store, killing two employees and four customers and injuring 13 others. Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison said a toxicology report showed evidence that Benschop was

high on marijuana. That finding, combined with witness statements and evidence from the scene, led to the decision Friday to raid his North Philadelphia home and later seek an arrest warrant, he said.

Voice expert hearing goes to fourth day SANFORD, Fla. – A Florida judge suspended until Monday a hearing to determine if voice-recognition experts will be allowed to testify at George Zimmerman’s trial. Circuit Judge Debra Nelson halted the hearing Saturday after an audio expert was unable to testify because he was stuck at an airport. She will issue a ruling after testimony is concluded. The hearing will continue Monday along with the first day of jury selection in Zimmerman’s trial. He has been charged with second-degree murder for fatally shooting 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in February 2012.

Storm warning debate rages By SEAN MURPHY The Associated Press OKLAHOMA CITY – The average tornado warning in the 1980s went out only after a twister was on the ground. Continuing advances in storm prediction have since enabled forecasters to warn people before a funnel cloud is upon them, giving them precious time to seek shelter. Our better understanding of the nature of tornadoes such as those that have ripped through Oklahoma several times over the past month, killing dozens of people and injuring hundreds more, has still saved countless lives. And our further understanding of such violent weather patterns will no doubt save even more. Some experts, though, acknowledge there is debate about whether there can be too much advance warning of a tornado strike, and if

teorologist for the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. “The more lead time the better, but the flip side of that is that accuracy and certainty in our predictions usually decrease with lead time.” Over the last five years, residents in the U.S. have been given an average lead

time of 13 minutes between the issuance of a tornado warning and a confirmed tornado on the ground. That’s a 17-minute increase from the 1980s, when tornado warnings were typically issued four minutes after a funnel had been spotted, said Lans Rothfusv, who is deputy chief of the warning research and development division at the National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman. Rothfusz credited the change to major advancements in technology, especially the introduction of the Doppler radar on the forecasting scene in the early 1990s. So, is there a “sweet spot” or an ideal amount of warning time? “While we strive for the longest warning time possible, the answer to that is: it depends,” Rothfusv said. “It depends on the individual needs or the group needs.”

South Africa: Mandela dealing with lung infection By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG – South Africans on Saturday said their thoughts were with former President Nelson Mandela, who was in “serious but stable” condition after being taken to a hospital to be treated for a recurring lung infection. Mandela, who is 94 years old, was treated in a hospital several times in recent months, with the last discharge coming on April 6 after doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and drained fluid from his lung area. He has been particularly vulnerable to respiratory problems since contracting tuberculosis during his 27-year impris-

onment under apartheid. A small girl and her father stood outside Mandela’s Johannesburg home with a stone on which was written a get-well message for Mandela, who helped end white racist rule and became the country’s first black president in all-race elections in 1994. A young boy brought a bouquet of flowers that he handed over to guards at the house. Elsewhere in the city, some worshippers prayed for Mandela during an outdoor gathering. “If the time comes, we wish for him a good way to go,” said Noel Ngwenya, a security officer who was in the congregation. “During the past few days,

former President Nelson Mandela has had a recurrence of lung infection,” said a statement from the office of President Jacob Zuma. “This morning at about 1:30 a.m., his condition deteriorated and he was transferred to a Pretoria hospital.” It said Mandela was receiving expert medical care and “doctors are doing everything possible to make him better and comfortable.” Zuma wished Mandela a quick recovery on behalf of the government and the nation and requested that the media and the public respect the privacy of the former leader and his family, the statement said. Mandela’s wife, humani-

8WORLD BRIEFS Koreas to talk in border village after tensions SEOUL, South Korea – North and South Korea will meet in a village straddling their heavily armed border Sunday for the first government-level talks on the peninsula in more than two years as they try to lower tension and restore stalled projects that once symbolized their rapprochement. The North on Saturday delivered its agreement to talk in Panmunjom through a Red Cross line restored a day earlier, Seoul’s Unification Ministry said in a text message. Pyongyang had earlier favored its border city of Kaesong, which contains the industrial park emptied in May after tensions peaked. Representatives of the rival Koreas met on the peninsula in February 2011 and their nuclear envoys met in Beijing later that year, but government officials from both sides have not met since. Sunday’s meeting would be clearest sign of eased tensions since Pyongyang threatened to attack South Korea and

Car bomb kills 7 people in central Syrian city

Insider attack kills three Americans in Afghanistan

BEIRUT – A suicide bomber detonated his explosives-laden car Saturday in Syria’s central city of Homs, tearing through an area largely populated by the regime’s Alawite sect and killing seven people, a state-owned TV station reported. Meanwhile, government troops took control of a key village as the regime presses its offensive to clear a path between Damascus and the Mediterranean coast. With the help of Lebanese Hezbollah fighters, President Bashar Assad’s regime has been chasing rebels from long-held strategic areas linking the capital, Damascus, with the government stronghold areas along Mediterranean coast. It gained momentum this week after seizing the strategic city of Qusair and the army has begun advancing north toward the cities of Homs and Aleppo.

KABUL, Afghanistan – A man in an Afghan army uniform turned his weapon on American trainers working with him in the country’s east on Saturday, killing three of them, while an attacker with a grenade killed an Italian soldier in the west, officials said. The shooting in Paktika province was the latest in a string of so-called “insider attacks” in which Afghan forces open fire on their own comrades or international troops. The incidents threaten to shake the confidence and trust of the two sides as the 2014 withdrawal of most of the international forces approaches. An argument between the Afghan soldier and his trainers appeared to have led to Saturday’s shooting on an Afghan National Army base in Paktika’s Kher Qot district, according to a statement

The office of South Africa’s president said Saturday that Mandela again been hospitalalized because of a lung tarian activist Graca Machel, canceled an appearance at an international forum on hunger and nutrition in London

on Saturday, citing “personal reasons,” said Colleen Harris, a spokeswoman for the meeting. Presidential spokesman

Mac Maharaj said Machel had canceled her attendance at the London meeting on Thursday, and had accompanied Mandela to the hospital on Saturday morning, the South African Press Association reported. “We need to hold our thoughts and keep him in our minds,” Maharaj said. “He is a fighter, he has recovered many times from very serious conditions and he will be with us. Let’s pray for him and help him to get better.” The African National Congress, the ruling party that has dominated politics in South Africa since the end of apartheid, said it hoped Mandela, known affectionately by his clan name Madiba, would get better soon.

Recent disasters inject fear Pakistan summons U.S. in Bangladesh factory life envoy over drone strike By CHRIS BLAKE

The Associated Press TEKANI, Bangladesh – Twice a year, buses filled with garment workers come rumbling into Tekani, shaking the houses made of mud and tin, and alerting villagers that their loved ones are home for the holidays. Wearing outfits bought specially for the Muslim Eid festival, they cut a striking image of success in a village where most own no land, have no steady jobs and are among the poorest people in one of the poorest regions of one of the world’s poorest countries. Three days later, the buses begin the nine-hour ride back to suburban Dhaka, creeping along the same narrow road covered with drying

rice husks and jutted with potholes. The workers are invariably joined by hundreds of fresh recruits from Tekani and its sister villages who will work alongside them in factories making clothing worn around the globe. They are the fuel that powers a $20 billion garment industry that is the world’s third-largest. Mosammat Almuna Begum once dreamed of sending her 21-year-old daughter on one of those buses. No longer. “It’s better to stay hungry here,” she said. “There is no safety there.” Pushed by poverty and pulled by the hope of a better life, Tekani people have for almost a decade been making the trip south to Dhaka. But with neighbors and relatives killed and maimed in the factory fire in November, and

the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory building in April, terror has overtaken this village of about 1,800 people in far northwestern Bangladesh. Many question whether the industry’s shaky promise is worth the sacrifice. Before the disasters, which together claimed 1,241 lives, five to 10 people from Tekani would leave every month for the garment factories. Now, villagers say they know of no person planning to make the trip soon, and many who had left want to come back. “They’re scared of staying there now,” said Mohammad Ashraful. The market vendor was on a trip home from Dhaka, where he lives with his wife, a garment worker who wanted to leave the industry. “Maybe it will pass,” he said. “I’m not sure.”

By NAHAL TOOSI The Associated Press ISLAMABAD – Just days after taking power, Pakistan’s new government summoned a top U.S. envoy Saturday to lodge a protest over a U.S. drone strike, suggesting that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s team fully intends to make good on its promise to aggressively push for an end to such strikes. Friday night’s drone strike near the Afghan border, which was said to have killed seven militants, came two days after Sharif was sworn in as premier and the same day his Cabinet members took their oaths. Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League-N handily won general elections last month

and is expected to govern with a relatively strong mandate because it doesn’t need to rely on coalition partners. Sharif, who wants to pursue peace talks with militants threatening his country, has insisted the U.S. stop the drone strikes, saying they violate Pakistan’s sovereignty and are counterproductive because they often kill innocent civilians and stoke anti-U.S. sentiment in this nation of 180 million. The U.S. insists the CIArun strikes primarily kill al-Qaida and other militants who threaten the West as well as efforts to stabilize Afghanistan. In a recent speech, President Barack Obama pledged more transparency and restrictions on the highly secre-

tive program. Sharif adviser Tariq Fatemi, acting on the premier’s instructions, summoned U.S. Embassy Charge D’Affaires Richard Hoagland to the Foreign Office on Saturday to complain about the latest drone strike, according to a Pakistani government statement. U.S. Ambassador Richard Olson was out of Pakistan at the time. “The importance of bringing an immediate end to drone strikes was emphasized,” the government statement said. “It was also stressed that these drone strikes have a negative impact on the mutual desire of both countries to forge a cordial and cooperative relationship and to ensure peace and stability in the region.”

Illinois was the only state in the U.S. with a total ban on concealed carry • GUNS Continued from page A1 June 9 to craft legislation regulating concealed carry. They since have pushed the deadline to July 9 at the request of Attorney General Lisa Madigan so Quinn has time to review the bill. The ruling was the latest in a string of legal victories for gun-rights groups. U.S. Supreme Court decisions in 2008 and 2010 invalidated handgun bans at the federal and state levels. Illinois was the only state in the union with a total ban on concealed carry.

Q: So citizens of the other 49 states are allowed to carry concealed weapons? A: Not quite – the laws vary wildly. States such as Hawaii,

Maryland and New Jersey have concealed-carry provisions, but the laws are so strict that it is almost impossible for an ordinary citizen to get permission. Other states, such as Alaska, Vermont and Arizona, do not require permits to carry a concealed weapon. Residents of conservative Alaska and liberal Vermont do not even have to conceal them, and can carry handguns openly.

Q: The General Assembly convened in January. Why did they get this done at the last minute? A: The primary reason is the ideological divide over gun rights in Illinois. Chicago lawmakers advocate strict gun control. Downstate lawmakers, Democrat and Republican alike, support gun rights, and suburban lawmakers are a mixed bag. So laws that tilt too heavily

toward one side or the other usually do not have the votes to pass.

Q: How does this proposed law work? A: Residents with a valid FOID card can pay a $150 nonrefundable application fee to the Illinois State Police – the fee is $300 for nonresidents – and must complete a 16-hour training course. The license is good for five years, and a three-hour refresher course will be required for renewal. The state police have 180 days from the day the bill becomes law to set up the permit system.

Q: Are there public safety checks and balances? A: Yes. Local law enforcement agencies can submit an objection to granting a license if they have a reasonable suspicion that the applicant is

a danger to himself or others. That applicant can appeal the objection to a seven-member state review board. The bill also sets up additional reporting requirements for schools and physicians to help keep weapons out of the hands of the mentally unstable.

Q: Where can I carry and where can’t I? A: Concealed carry would not be allowed on mass transit, in schools and college campuses, government buildings and courthouses, parks, stadiums, hospitals and street festivals. It would be allowed in restaurants and other businesses that serve alcohol only if alcohol makes up less than half of their total sales. The bill also makes it a crime to carry a concealed weapon while intoxicated. Businesses have the right

to forbid concealed weapons from their premises if they post a sign banning them. The bill allows permit holders to keep loaded weapons in a secured vehicle, meaning they can be left there if going to one of the places where concealed carry is banned.

Q: Some media agencies have “outed” gun owners in other states by printing lists of concealed-carry and firearm permit holders. Could that happen here? A: No. The bill exempts concealed-carry permits from the Illinois Freedom of Information Act – FOID cards already are exempt. The bill also exempts the review board from the Illinois Open Meetings Act.

Q: Could Quinn use his amendatory veto power to tack unrelated gun-control measures onto the bill?

A: He could try, and he has done so before, but he almost certainly would fail. Quinn last year completely rewrote a gun rights bill regarding ammunition sales into an assault weapons ban, which has not had the votes to pass. But lawmakers unanimously overrode his amendatory veto. Also, the Illinois Supreme Court has ruled that a governor cannot use his amendatory veto power to fundamentally change a piece of legislation’s purpose. Q: Could Madigan appeal the 7th Circuit’s ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court? A: Madigan asked for and received an extended deadline to June 24 to appeal if she so wishes. If the bill becomes law before that, the court case becomes moot and Madigan loses the right to appeal.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS, GAME 5 – BLACKHAWKS 4, KINGS 3 (2 OT)

Affrunti stays the course

Kane’s hat trick means Final treat

CL native unfazed by Gonzales’ antics By JAMES NOKES sportsdesk@nwherald.com MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Andres Gonzales threw his putter into the bunker out of disgust. Moments later, Joe Affrunti casually tossed his hand into the air to acknowledge friendly applause. After Gonzales, Affrunti’s playing partner for the Joe Affrunti third round of Crystal Lake the FedEx St. native shakes J u d e C l a s s i c off shot into at TPC South- water on third wind, sped his hole. PAGE C3 42-foot putt on the 239-yard par-3 14th hole into the water and hustled to set up his drop out of turn, Affrunti nestled a similar putt to within 2 feet for an easy par. The scene repeated itself on the closing five holes Saturday at the PGA Tour’s lone Memphis event as Affrunti finished the day at even-par 70 to remain at 1-under par. The Crystal Lake native is tied for 48th at 209. Second-round leader Harris English, who rented a house on TPC Southwind, trails Shawn Stefani by a stroke entering the final round today. Stefani shot a 66 to get to 12-under 198. “When I saw Andres’ ball go in the water I thought, ‘Oh man, what do I do now?’ ” said Affrunti, who was greeted at the driving range to a surprise visit by his mother Fran and father Peter, who drove overnight from Crystal Lake to watch him Saturday. “I knew it was a fast putt. It was downhill, down grain and very shiny.”

BRUINS

Eric Aguilera had heard from people before advising not to sit around and wait for results on the computer during Major League Baseball’s First-Year Player Draft. “They say, ‘Go do something,’ ” the 2008 Cary-Grove Eric Aguilera graduate said. So Aguilera, a left-handed hitter who led Illinois State with a .346 average this season, went to Alpine Valley with friends to hear the Zac Brown Band. While they were waiting for the concert, Aguilera received news the Los Angeles Angels had selected him in the 34th round. He was both excited and relieved.

sports section provides a diversion from people’s daily lives. However, some stories carry greater meaning and inspire conversations beyond the court (or field, rink, etc.). I think it’s safe to say that Colleen Smith’s story is one of those. Styf: No doubt. I don’t know that she expected to be back so quick. Indiana certainly didn’t. And because of that, they signed another setter and didn’t have a scholarship left for another setter. So, she became a free agent ultimately because of her illness. This looks bad on Indiana. Cold. There has to be something they could have done. Musick: I think “cold” is the best way to put it. This is the same school that employed Bobby Knight for 29 years. This is the same school that hired Kelvin Sampson even though he was under sanctions for NCAA violations. Smith did nothing wrong. Instead, she did something remarkable by battling Wegener’s granulomatosis, which is in remission. The Hoosiers should have made the same commitment to Smith that she made to them. Styf: Ultimately, it’s great that something worked out for her. A huge credit to her for what she has done to near a return. But when they talk about college athletics being a business, this is what they mean. All the student-athlete garbage schools try to force down your throat is clearly not the priority here. She was sick. She couldn’t play for a year. They kicked her out the door. Musick: Yes, Indiana’s loss is DePaul’s gain. College sports (all sports, really) is all about discipline and hard work and teamwork and dedication. By taking on her illness and doggedly searching for another opportunity to play the sport she loves, Smith has proved that she has special qualities. It seems to me that any coach and any program would be lucky to have a player like Smith. Styf: A credit to Smith here is that, after the initial shock that Indiana was letting her go, she went out and looked for a new home. She was realistic in knowing it might not be a program the caliber of Indiana. Her other offers (North Dakota State, Youngstown State) weren’t. But she made it work. And she will get more cheers from her fans in the future for doing so. Musick: I’d like to think that everything happens for a reason and that Smith will find a great home at DePaul. One advantage is that she will be closer to McHenry County. Looking for an affordable outing with the family this fall? Hop in the car and drive to McGrath-Phillips Arena in Lincoln Park to support an athlete who truly is a role model.

I’m definitely a Nike kind of girl

Richmond-Burton senior outside hitter Ali Frantti is a year away from beginning her career at Penn State, seven years after she emailed Nittany Lions coach Russ Rose as a sixth-grader. Frantti wrote the email long before social media avenues like Twitter – a form of communication that Frantti, who can be found at @ Afrantti14 but who has only tweeted once, still isn’t extremely comfortable with. This week, Frantti travels to Colorado for her second tryout with the U.S. Girls Youth National team, representing another lifelong dream for Frantti. The U.S. National team will compete later this summer in Thailand.

I’ve been thinking about (the USA Volleyball tryout) every day now for I don’t know how long. I’m really excited and can’t wait to get out [to Colorado[. I’m looking forward to the competition and I know it’s going to be tough, but I’m looking forward to it. I think they’re looking for someone who is just a well-rounded person, who is vocal and who is confident in their abilities and can represent our country well. I think they’re looking for that all-around kind of a person. That’s been my dream for as long as I can remember – wearing that USA jersey would just be such an honor and it gives me chills. It’s something that I think about every day because I just think it would be really cool to be able represent our country.

I was always such a huge [Penn State fan] and I honestly thought that maybe one day, I would play for [Rose]. I had those crazy dreams and that was kind of my motivation to do this. I just wanted to be like those other girls that won those (national) championships and it’s crazy I’m actually getting to do it now. Russ actually tried to find the email but it’s been so long that I don’t think he saved it. I wrote exactly who I was, where I’m from, how tall I was at the time, what position I played. I told him I’d like to go to school and play volleyball (at Penn State) and I think I even congratulated him on his championship – I’m not exactly sure what I wrote. But I’m still pinching myself that I’m going there and I can’t wait. I’m just looking forward to being able to play at the collegiate level and to play at my dream school.

I really don’t go on Twitter that often. I like looking at other people’s stuff, but I don’t really post stuff. People always told me I should get a (Twitter account) just to keep up to date with what’s going on in people’s lives, but I really like Facebook instead of Twitter. I didn’t know there was a limit on how much I could write and so I thought, ‘Oh boy, this is going to be fun’. I don’t know. The whole set-up is cool, but I just think it’s not really for me. It’s crazy how much we’ve been able to accomplish (in volleyball) in such a short amount of time. Getting to state last year was really exciting and it only makes me want to do more in my last year (at Richmond-Burton). But looking back, it seems like everything happened so fast and so quick that it’s hard to digest it sometimes. But I wouldn’t want it any other way to be honest.

PGA: ST. JUDE CLASSIC

Affrunti shakes off splashes Rookie Stefani takes lead with 66 By JAMES NOKES sportsdesk@nwherald.com MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Since 2002, PGA Tour players have hit 3,284 balls into water hazards on the TPC Southwind course. For the second straight day, Joe Affrunti added to that number when his second shot on the 554-yard, par-5 third hole sailed into the water Saturday during the third round of the FedEx St. Jude Classic. A tree-lined landing area opens to reveal a green guard-

ed on the right by a large pond. A massive oak tree sprawls across the fairway 75 yards short and right of the green, and an elevated bunker complex looks down on the green from the left. There’s a narrow area through which a shot has to travel to avoid the water. Affrunti hasn’t found it since he made birdie Thursday and his approach shot found the back bunker. He got up and down for birdie. On Saturday, with 223 yards to the front of the green, an ideal yardage for his utility club, Affrunti

said he “came out of the shot a little early and flared it just right.” “I hit the water today but was able to get up and down for par,” Affrunti said. “When I hit a ball in the water I take a ‘whatever’ attitude. I take the drop and move on. I know I can still have a birdie chance. I don’t let it get in my head, that would only hurt my game.” Because he stayed focused, Affrunti picked up a stroke on the field a hole later with a 15foot downhill birdie putt on the par-3 196-yard fourth hole.

Affrunti’s play more solid on back 9 • AFFRUNTI Continued from page C1 “[Gonzales] stomped around a little and went over to take his drop when it was my turn because I was away,” Affrunti said. “I let him blow off a little steam and get over it. I wanted to keep playing smart and not get unwound. I can always block out things like that.” While Gonzales sprayed tee shots and chunked approach shots after his miscue on No. 14 and went from 3 under to 1 over for the tournament, Affrunti was focused on grinding out pars.

He closed with a flurry and hit six of nine greens on the inward nine. Undeterred by the struggles of his playing partner or the massive, constantly moving crowd following Phil Mickelson’s (7-under 203) Saturday charge up the leaderboard, Affrunti hit the final three fairways and had birdie opportunities on each hole. With a 4-iron in his hand and 215 yards to the front of the green on the 530-yard par-5, 16th hole, Affrunti’s approach shot trickled off the green and settled behind a knoll on the fringe. A soaring flop shot on his third shot left Affrunti with an easy 2-foot

putt that he tapped in for birdie. “I had to hit a perfect shot to get it close,” Affrunti said. “I just hit a high, soft flop shot that got in close.” Lonely pins in isolated portions of the greens provided a challenging set up, and Affrunti couldn’t mark a birdie charge in a round that featured two bogeys and two birdies. “I left a few putts short, which is always frustrating,” Affrunti said. “I hit it decent on the front nine but had a few squirrely moments. My ball striking got better on the back nine and I started to play solid.”

By TERESA M. WALKER The Associated Press MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Rookie Shawn Stefani overcame a quadruple bogey and shot a 4-under 66 on Saturday to take the third-round lead in the St. Jude Classic. The 31-year-old Texan blew a two-stroke lead with the quadruple bogey on No. 11, but rebounded with four birdies over his final five holes to move back atop the leaderboard. He had eight birdies to go with that quadruple bogey to reach 12-under 198 at TPC Southwind. Harris English was a stroke back after a 69, finishing out of the lead for the first time this week. Scott Stallings, Patrick Reed and Nicholas Thompson were 8 under. Stallings had a 67, Reed shot 64, and Thompson had a 66. Phil Mickelson was another

play in the U.S. Open in 2009 at Bethpage but missed the cut there. His best finish so far came at the Tampa Bay Championship when he tied for seventh in March. Stefani went off in the final group with English, who had a share of the lead after 18 and had the lead to himself after 36 holes.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

Kane trusts gut to end drought By TOM MUSICK tmusick@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – All sorts of people called to try to help Patrick Kane as he struggled through one of his worst scoring droughts in recent memory. Friends. Former coaches. Old teammates. Although Kane appreciated the gestures, he decided to tune out the excess noise. “Sometimes, you’ve just got to listen to your gut and what you know as a player,” Kane said Saturday before the Blackhawks hosted the Los Angeles Kings in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals. “That’s what I guess I tried to do out there.” The plan worked. Kane rushed toward the net and punched in a goal in Game 4, and he followed that by ripping a high shot past Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick on Saturday for his second goal in as many games. “You’re obviously thankful to everyone that gives you advice, but you always rely on the coaches here and management here,” Kane said. “[They] have the best input and really know your game the best, especially since I’ve been here.” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said he was impressed by Kane’s determination. “Top guys usually find ways to motivate themselves,” Quenneville said. “That’s what makes them special. They want to be the best they can be every single day. … “I talked to Kaner the day before [Game 4]. He said he’s going to find a way to get it done. He wanted the puck.” No more spectating: Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith returned to his familiar spot on the ice after serving a one-game suspension for his high stick against Kings forward Jeff Carter in Game 3. Keith said he struggled to watch the game in street clothes instead of his typical No. 2 sweater. He looked far more comfortable Saturday as he scored the Hawks’ first goal. “It’s tough to watch,” Keith said. “When you’re playing every game and then all of a sudden you’re watching on TV, it’s just a different feeling altogether. I couldn’t really tell you, to be honest, if we were playing good or bad in the first period or what was going on.” No comment: Keith sidestepped questions about what he thought of the NHL’s decision to suspend him. Brendan Shanahan, the NHL’s senior vice president of player safety, explained his reasons for Keith’s suspension on the league’s website. “I don’t think it matters what my opinion is,” Keith said. “I said at the time I didn’t mean to get him where I got him. I know it doesn’t look good, but [I’m] glad that he’s back playing for them.”

NBA FINALS

Heat seek some NBA Finals fun Enjoyment only comes with title By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press MIAMI – The NBA Finals. Just being here can be memorable – and miserable. And surprise, it’s those supposedly stoic Spurs who are having more fun, while the South Beach bunch is a little grumpy and grouchy. The Miami Heat may be on top of the basketball world, but there’s no joy unless they stay there. “Playoffs ain’t fun, man. I’m sorry to bust anyone on the outside’s bubble,” Dwyane Wade said. “As a player in the playoffs, you have no joy until it’s over and you won. If you don’t win, you have no joy for a while.” Down 1-0 after a record regular season that goes for naught without another title, the Heat can turn their moods around with a victory over San Antonio on Sunday night in Game 2. Back in the finals for a third straight year, the Heat have lost some of the ability to enjoy the ride. With exorbitant expectations, all that matters is the destination. But San Antonio, absent from this stage for six years, is soaking up what could be its last shot for Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. After all, Duncan is ancient – at least, according to those wise-cracking Spurs. “Older than dirt,” coach Gregg Popovich called him this week. Parker listed him at age 50 – Duncan is actually 37 – and the repeated ribbing

appears almost out of character for a franchise that was often considered the definition of basketball blandness. “My friends and everybody on the team, we get like the funny Instagram doctored-up photos or jokes where they’re making fun of how old some of the people on our team are who shall remain nameless,” reserve Matt Bonner said. “And we get a kick out of that.” Despite the notion they’re old, the Spurs are actually overall the younger, less-experienced team in these finals. Miami has nine players in their 30s to the six on the Spurs, and their Big Three and Bonner are the only Spurs to have played in the NBA Finals. That makes it easier for the Spurs to enjoy this trip more than when they were the team expected to be here every year. “We definitely are having fun,” Parker said. “I think we appreciate every moment. We don’t take anything for granted, because it’s been a long time. It’s been six years. Felt like forever. After the Memphis series, there was a lot of emotion.” Heat veteran Shane Battier wasn’t sold on the notion of this Spurs transformation into a happy-go-lucky group. “Don’t believe them, first of all,” he said. “They are extreme competitors and they have a level of self-deprecation I think that is part of them, but don’t buy it for one second. Those guys are killers. They’re cut-throat and they will stomp on you if need be, and we’re the same way.”

Blackhawks fans: ‘We want the Cup!’ • MUSICK Continued from page C1 It’s not every season that a city has a shot at a major sports championship. The Hawks (and a few million of their closest fans) partied in the streets of downtown in 2010 after they beat the Philadelphia Flyers to win their first Stanley Cup championship in 49 years. The Bears reached the big stage but lost to the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLI. The White Sox swept the Houston Astros in 2005 to snap an 88-year championship drought. Other than that, none of the city’s major sports teams has won a title since the Jordan years. Maybe that seems like a short time ago to many of us, but there are students in area high schools who were born after the Bulls’ last championship in 1998. Now, it’s almost time to celebrate. Almost. Nobody provided the “almost” better than Hawks captain Jonathan Toews. After Toews set up Kane’s game-winning goal 11:40 into double overtime, more than 22,000 fans lost their hats (literally) and their

Toews lined up with the rest of his teammates in the handshake line, where they wished the hard-nosed Kings a safe flight and a happy summer. Then, NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly strolled on to a red carpet that had been rolled out

in front of the Hawks’ bench. He called over to Toews to accept the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, which is awarded annually to the champions of the Western Conference. Toews wanted no part of the trophy. He didn’t touch it. Not even close. Instead, Toews shook Bill Daly’s hand. He waved over to his teammates to join him. They all gathered behind the trophy, making sure to keep their hands at a safe distance, as they posed for a photo. It’s an old hockey superstition to avoid touching the Campbell Bowl. After all, only one trophy is meant to be lifted. Fans understood. “We want the Cup!” they roared as the Hawks waited for the picture to snap. “We want the Cup! We want the Cup!” Ah, yes. The Cup. That’s an extra good thing. We’ll have to keep waiting for that. But not for too much longer.

Going from Prairie Ridge to the University of Missouri was a big leap for wrestler Zach Synon. “It was like being thrown into a bigger pond,” he said. “I realized that I had to get a lot better. When I first came in, I knew I had my work cut out for me.” After spending a season as a redshirt for the NCAA Division I Tigers, Synon is hoping a strong offseason makes him a bigger fish in that pond. Synon will compete June 21 to 23 at the Fila Junior World Team Trials in Stillwater, Okla., in the 132-pound freestyle class. Top finishers at the event – which includes standout wrestlers from across the country ages 17 to 20 – will qualify for a chance to represent the U.S. from Aug. 13 to 18 in Sofia, Bulgaria, at the world championships. “I’m really excited to compete with the best of the best,” Synon said. “At the very least, it’ll be a great learning experience for me.” Synon won the 132-pound freestyle division at last month’s Northern Plains Regionals in Waterloo, Iowa, to qualify for the World Team Trials. The freestyle competition this summer has been a major boost for Synon. “[I’ve improved] my skill level and been able to compete with better guys,” he said. Synon is used to competing in freestyle events, something he did as a youth with the Cary Matmen program. “It’s more fast-paced,” Synon said. “You have to be a little more careful because you can get a lot of points scored against you real fast. I’ve competed in freestyle events since I was a kid. I kind of pick right up where I left off when I was in sixth and seventh grade.” Synon’s biggest gains this offseason have been in his offensive skills. “My big thing that I’m working on is having more attacks off of my feet,” he said. “I have a go-to move, but I need to mix it up a lot more.” During the college season, Synon finished 19-8 while competing as a redshirt at 141 pounds. He placed second in two of the five tournaments he competed in this season. Synon said he hopes his work this offseason pays off with a spot in the Missouri starting lineup at 125 next season. “If I keep working hard like I have been, I think that spot could be mine,” he said. “My coaches have mentioned how much I’ve improved over these last few weeks.” Super Star Mahoney: D-III Dominican University senior softball pitcher Emily Mahoney (Crystal Lake South) was honored Monday as the school’s Female Athlete of the Year. While posting a 21-8 record and a 1.95 ERA as a pitcher, Mahoney broke the school’s career strikeout record this season and tallied nine shutout wins. She was voted to the National

ON CAMPUS Barry Bottino Fastpitch Coaches Association’s AllGreat Lakes Region First Team and the Northern Athletics Conference’s Pitcher of the Year. At the plate, Mahoney hit .348 for the Stars. In the opening round of the NAC Tournament, she pitched the first perfect game in school history in an 8-0 victory against Wisconsin Lutheran. For the season, she ranked in the top 10 nationally in strikeouts, shutouts and strikeouts per seven innings. Polk picks up all-conference: Crystal Lake Central grad Alex Polk earned honorable mention All-Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors last month in the javelin at the MIAC outdoor men’s track and field meet in St. Paul. Polk, a sophomore at D-III Carleton College who also plays safety and punter on the school’s football team, placed sixth in the MIAC meet with a personal-best throw of 171 feet, 3 inches. Polk was named MIAC Field Event Athlete of the Week on April 23 after a second-place performance (160-4) in the Carleton Relays. A week later, he won the event with a throw of 147-7 at Carleton’s Rolex Classic meet. Harper slugger Miguel: Jacobs grad Mike Miguel earned first-team All-Region IV honors in baseball this spring at NJCAA Harper College after batting .359 for the Hawks. A freshman designated hitter for the Hawks, Miguel compiled a .456 on-base percentage and nine RBIs for Harper (20-22). The team finished one victory away from the school’s first trip the NJCAA Division III World Series. CCAC standouts: Catcher Johnny Amann, a senior at NAIA Judson University, was named to the All-Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference second team on May 31. Amann, a Jacobs grad, batted .274, scored a team-best 53 runs and drove in 36 runs for a Judson baseball team that finished 46-17 and broke a school record with an 18-game winning streak this spring. The Eagles also won the CCAC regular-season and tournament championships thanks in part to Amann’s team-best .492 onbase percentage. Prairie Ridge grad T.J. Swank, a senior pitcher, made the CCAC’s Gold Glove Team. This season, Swank posted an 8-2 record with a 2.92 ERA while not committing an error all season. • Barry Bottino writes a weekly column and a blog about local college athletes for the Northwest Herald.

A’s sign J’burg grad Grundy • DRAFT Continued from page C1 “We were getting to that point where I was expecting not to get picked,” Aguilera said. “I was upset and prepped not to get picked. Thank God the Angels gave me a shot here. I hope I can give them all I have.” Jerad Grundy, a 2009 Johnsburg graduate, knew he would sign with whatever team drafted him this time around. After being drafted three previous times, Grundy, now out of college eligibility, was selected by Oakland in the 10th round Friday and signed with the A’s on Saturday. “I didn’t really have too much contact with [the A’s] in the last two months,” Grundy said. “It was a bit of a surprise. It’s an organization me and my parents are pretty happy about.” Grundy hired agent Sam Samardzija, the older brother of Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija, and worked out the details quickly with the A’s. Grundy will be in Phoenix Tuesday for the start of extended spring training. He is uncertain where he will pitch this season. “It depends on where they need guys,” Grundy said. “They have a short [-season Class A] team in Vermont, that’s where a lot of guys go.” Grundy was a Northwest Herald All-Area first-team selection as a pitcher in 2009. He was drafted by Texas in the 46th round, but turned down the Rangers because he had a scholarship to Miami (Fla.). After one season at Miami, Grundy pitched at Heartland Community College, a two-year school in Bloomington, and again was drafted, that time by Miami in the 42nd round. Grundy transferred to Kentucky and was 6-3 with a 3.78 ERA, 63 strike-

outs and 36 walks in 852/3 innings as a junior. He was drafted by Minnesota last year in the 26th round, but returned to Kentucky. “It was actually a down year [at Kentucky] for me personally, and as a team,” Grundy said. “We had a lot of high expectations. We were rated so high in the preseason and started out well.” The Wildcats were 45-18 in Grundy’s junior season, setting the school record for victories. Kentucky was 3025 this season. He has been working out with trainer Chris Leathers, another Johnsburg graduate, at Leathers’ Your World Fitness in Spring Grove. By staying in school, Grundy improved his draft position each year and is three classes short of his degree in community and leadership development. “There’s no regrets,” Grundy said. Grundy and Aguilera were friends through connections at Heartland. Grundy arrived when Aguilera had transferred to ISU, but the two knew each other through competing in high school and through teammates at Heartland. Aguilera tied for the team lead with seven home runs and drove in a teamhigh 58 runs. He also topped the Redbirds (39-19) with 121 total bases and made only two errors. Aguilera realized last summer when he had a strong season with the Lake Shore Chinooks in the Northwoods League he had a shot to get drafted this year. “I thought it was going to be earlier, but I’m very happy to be selected,” said Aguilera, who had not talked to the Angels as of early Saturday evening. “I have no idea where they’re sending me. I can’t wait for the next challenge.”

NATIONAL LEAGUE

CHICAGO – John Danks wants to show he can be a reliable starter again. How’s this for evidence? Danks pitched three-hit ball over eight innings for his first victory in more than a year, and the White Sox won for just the second time in 12 games, beating the surging Oakland Athletics 4-1 on Saturday. “I want to be a stopper,” Danks said. “I want to be a guy that goes out there and can be depended on to give us as good a chance to win as anybody.” He did just that, and he got just enough support in the end. Adam Dunn and Paul Konerko homered. Alex Rios drove in the go-ahead run, and the Sox handed the Athletics just their fourth loss in 22 games. Dunn connected leading off the second to tie the score at 1-all, and it stayed that way until the Sox scored three

Next vs. Oakland, 1 p.m. Sunday, CSN, AM-670 against the struggling Sean Doolittle (3-1) in the eighth. Alejandro De Aza led off with an infield single and moved up on a sacrifice bunt by Alexei Ramirez before Rios broke the tie with a single to center. Konerko followed with a two-run drive to left. “The ball Konerko hit was pretty much off his shoetops,” said Doolittle, who’s allowed 10 runs in his last 3 2-3 innings. “So it’s kind of, today they just beat me and I have to tip my hat to them. The rally made a winner of Danks (1-2), who struck out six and walked one in his fourth start. He retired the final 21 batters he faced on the way to his first win since he beat the Cubs on May 19 last season. That also turned out to be the final start of the year for

Danks, who had surgery in August to repair a capsule tear and remove debris in his rotator cuff and biceps. “This is more indicative of what you would want to see,” manager Robin Ventura said. “He’s a competitor always, but with the ability to throw and have location and keep guys off balance and have a feel for the game. When you’re not quite right, he doesn’t have as good a feel for it as he does in the last two starts.” Danks won a career-high 15 games for the Sox in 2010 and hasn’t reached that level since then. His first three starts were a bit up and down, but this was more like it. Never mind that his command of the fastball weren’t quite there. He had his curve working, and that was enough to lower his ERA from 5.63 to 4.13. “His velocity is climbing, it looks like, as he goes, but he’s definitely pitching with less velocity than he’s had when it was years ago,” Konerko said. “But that can be a good thing

Then if he gets back to where he’s going to get to – which I’m sure he will – now you have both weapons.” Addison Reed worked a scoreless ninth for his 18th save in 19 chances. It was a big improvement after giving up five runs in a non-save opportunity against Seattle on Wednesday. Tommy Milone went seven

innings for Oakland, allowing one run and four hits, but did not figure in the decision. He struck out seven, walked one, and is 3-0 in his past five starts. “I was just trying to match what Danks was doing,” he said. “He was going out there throwing strikes and getting us out. To end his night he retired 21 in a row that was pretty impressive. I was trying to match him and keep our team in the game.”

CHICAGO – Alfonso Soriano prevented the Cubs from getting shut out by Pittsburgh for the second straight day. His home run in the ninth inning was about the only dent they made against A.J. Burnett and the Pirates. Burnett pitched into the ninth, Pedro Alvarez and Russell Martin homered and Pittsburgh beat the Cubs, 6-2, Saturday. “We didn’t have a whole lot going on for the most part,” Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. Pittsburgh beat the Cubs for the fifth straight time

Next vs. Pittsburgh, 1:20 p.m. Sunday, WGN, AM-720 and handed the Cubs their fifth loss in the last six games overall. Burnett (4-6) allowed three walks with five strikeouts in 8 1/3 innings to improve to 5-0 in his career at Wrigley Field. He blanked the Cubs until Soriano’s two-run homer to left with one out in the ninth ended a string of 18 straight scoreless innings by Pirates pitch-

MLB ROUNDUP

20-inning night ends in victory for Marlins The ASSOCIATED PRESS At NEW YORK – A typical loss is tough enough. Coming up short after 20 innings and 6½ hours, now that really stings. In the longest major league game in more than three years, Adeiny Hechavarria hit an RBI single in the 20th inning and the Miami Marlins outlasted the New York Mets 2-1 on Saturday, well after Matt Harvey left with lower back tightness following another stingy start. Inept at the plate as day turned to night, the Mets went 0 for 19 with runners in scoring position – a team record. They stranded 22 on the bases. Reds 4, Cardinals 2: At Cincinnati, Mat Latos turned in seven solid innings and Cincinnati broke out of their slump with a win over St. Louis . Devin Mesoraco homered and drove in two runs, and Jay Bruce also homered as the Reds snapped a three-game losing streak and scored more than two runs against St. Louis for the first time in the last seven games between the teams. Padres 4, Rockies 2: At Denver, Kyle Blanks hit a two-run homer and Eric Stults tossed seven solid innings, helping San Diego to a win over Colorado. Everth Cabrera had three hits and stole two more bases, running his season total to a major league-leading 28. Brewers 4, Phillies 3: At Milwaukee, Jean Segura homered and Jonathan Lucroy hit a tiebreaking RBI double in the sixth inning, lifting Milwaukee to a win over Philadelphia. Domonic Brown hit his NL-leading 19th home run, and had a two-run double in the eighth to account for all of the Phillies’ runs.

AMERICAN LEAGUE Angels 9-2, Red Sox 5-7: At Boston, David Ortiz rebound-

ed from a rough first game with a long two-run homer and drove in three runs to help Clay Buchholz improve to 9-0, earning Boston a split of a day-night doubleheader. The victory snapped Boston’s nine-game losing streak against Los Angeles.

Blue Jays 4, Rangers 3 (18 inn.): At Toronto, Rajai Davis’ RBI single in the 18th inning lifted Toronto to a over Texas in a game that matched the longest in club history for both teams. Texas equaled a season high with its third straight loss. Tigers 6, Indians 4: At Detroit, Prince Fielder hit a bases-clearing double in the second inning and Detroit held on to beat Cleveland. The AL Central-leading Tigers have won the first two games of the series to build a season-high 4½-game lead over the Indians. Rays 8, Orioles 0: At St. Petersburg, Jeremy Hellickson pitched six scoreless innings and six different Tampa Bay players drove in runs. Taking up where they left off in allowing just two hits in a 2-1 victory in the opener of a three-game series at Tropicana Field, Rays pitchers limited the Orioles to four singles to beat their AL East rivals for the fifth straight time. Royals 7, Astros 2: At Kansas City, Mo., Ervin Santana pitched seven snappy innings and Kansas City finally backed him up with some offense. Yankees 3, Mariners 1: At Seattle, Andy Pettitte allowed three hits over 71/3 innings to earn his 250th career victory to lead the Yankees past the Mariners.

INTERLEAGUE Twins 4, Nationals 3, (11 inn.): At Washington, Ryan Doumit singled in the go-ahead run, and Joe Mauer homered, doubled and singled.

ers. “I go back a long way with Sori. We played a long time together. I’ve gotten him a few times, he’s gotten me,” Burnett said. Soriano’s homer was the 379th of his career, tying him with Orlando Cepeda and Tony Perez for 64th on the all-time list. “Especially [since] we got shut out yesterday, I don’t want it to happen today again,” Soriano said. “At least he didn’t throw a shutout.” Soriano might have done even more damage except for some tough luck with the Pirates’ defense.

Soriano flied out deep in the second inning, with right fielder Travis Snider banging into the wall as he made the catch. Then in the sixth inning with runners on second and third and two out, Soriano hit a shot down the thirdbase line. Alvarez made a diving, backhanded stop and threw out Soriano. Burnett held the Cubs hitless until Nate Schierholtz’s double down the line in right leading off the fifth. He threw 112 pitches and left after Soriano’s home run. Burnett threw a one-hitter in his last start at Wrigley Field last July 31. He lost

the no-hitter in the eighth inning with two outs. Over his last 23 innings at Wrigley, Burnett has allowed two runs and seven hits. Scuffling the most at the plate for the Cubs has been shortstop Starlin Castro, who was recently dropped from No. 2 in the order to seventh. He went 0 for 3 and has three hits his last 34 atbats. “Obviously he didn’t get any hits again, but he lined the ball into right-center field. Hit that ball really well,” Sveum said. “Lined another ball into right. Hopefully something starts clicking and he gets going.”

FRENCH OPEN: MEN

SLOWLY ENDING

Vying for 8th title, Nadal gets Ferrer By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

‘GREATEST’ DEBATE AP photo

Serena Williams reacts as she defeats Russia’s Maria Sharapova during the women’s final match of the French Open Saturday at Roland Garros stadium in Paris. Williams won, 6-4, 6-4. PARIS – Great? Undoubtedly. Serena Williams’ latest Grand Slam title, at the French Open, confirmed what tennis already knew. But greatest? That is still too early to say. The new French Open champion has the most fearsome serve ever seen in women’s tennis. The ace on the last point of Williams’ 6-4, 6-4 victory in the final Saturday zipped past Maria Sharapova at 123 mph, more than fast enough to have earned a nasty speeding ticket had it been a car on the highway that runs by Roland Garros. Digesting the disappointment of her 13th straight loss to Williams since 2004, Sharapova grimly noted that David Ferrer might not serve that hard when he plays Rafael Nadal in the men’s final today. And who in the pantheon of stars in women’s tennis ever hit the ball more ferociously than Williams? Sharapova did as well as could be expected in defending herself against the flurry of forehands and backhands that spring off the racket that Williams wields like an axe. The intimidation starts even before the first ball is played, in the coin toss. Facing Sharapova across the net, Williams looked as though she might cleave open the Russian’s famously blonde head, waving her racket up and down in a chopping motion, practicing her service motion. Once hostilities commenced,

VIEWS John Leicester Sharapova lasted exactly one hour longer than Williams’ hapless semifinal opponent, Sara Errani, who was swatted aside, 6-0, 6-1, in 46 minutes. In short, the Russian made a contest but not an epic of this match. “She’s doing what she’s always done extremely well, but she’s just doing it on a much more consistent level,” Sharapova said. “I know that’s a pretty broad answer, but that speaks a lot.” Would Chris Evert or Martina Navratilova, with her all-around mastery of tennis, have fared significantly better than Sharapova? Hard to say. Impossible to prove. What can be said with certainty is that Williams can bury the debate about her place in tennis’ hierarchy by winning more titles. She might play the most destructive, if not the most varied and interesting, tennis ever seen from a woman. She might be one of the best female athletes seen in any sport, not just tennis. But the argument-clincher is that Evert and Navratilova (both with 18), Helen Wills Moody (19), Steffi Graf (22) and Margaret Court (24) all won more Grand Slam singles titles than Williams. Her 16th major

title gets Williams a step closer to reasonably being declared the most impressive female player ever, but she isn’t there yet. “We can have that debate if it makes you happy but it would be better if everyone agreed,” said Patrick Mouratoglou, the French coach Williams turned to after her crushing first-round loss at Roland Garros a year ago. “Now it’s up to her to do what is necessary so there is no more debate.” At 31, Williams has time. Navratilova was 33 when she won her ninth Wimbledon title in 1990. It may also be true that her timeouts from the grind of modern professional tennis over the years – because of injuries, interests outside the sport and because she didn’t want to play every tournament – have saved her from being prematurely eroded physically and mentally. The 11 Grand Slam tournaments Williams has missed since playing her first, the 1998 Australian Open, can be seen as missed opportunities. Or maybe they’re among the reasons Williams is still competing today, looking very fit and playing some of the best tennis of her career. • John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.

PARIS – His words catching in his throat, Toni Nadal called it “really a miracle” that his nephew is back in the French Open final. Seriously? Miraculous? More like expected, given that Rafael Nadal is 58-1 for his career at Roland Garros, a seven-time champion who will become the only man with eight titles at one Grand Slam tournament if he beats David Ferrer in today’s all-Spanish final. Here is what Uncle Toni, who has coached Rafa since age 4, meant: They harbored doubts about whether a return to the top was possible after Nadal was sidelined for about seven months with a left knee injury. There were times, the younger Nadal said, when “it was impossible to think that I

would be here.” After outlasting top-seeded Novak Djokovic, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1, 6-7 (3), 9-7, in a taut and terrific semifinal that stretched across more than 4½ hours, the third-seeded Nadal re ferred to his time away, saying, “When these kind of matches happen, you suffer, but I really enjoy these moments, no? I really enjoy suffering, because what’s harder is when I am in Mallorca last year and I had to watch these kind of matches on the TV.” As Nadal began accumulating Grand Slam titles, the biggest question was how long his body would be able to withstand his always-on-the-move playing style. Citing bad knees, he decided not to defend his Wimbledon championship in 2009, just weeks after losing to Robin Soderling in the fourth round of the French Open (that re-

mains Nadal’s only defeat at his favorite tournament). Nadal’s left knee was what held him out of action from last June, when he lost in the second round at Wimbledon, until this February. He missed the London Olympics, the U.S. Open and the Australian Open. Since returning to the tour, Nadal is 42-2 with six titles, reaching the finals of all nine tournaments he’s entered. He’s on a 21-match winning streak. Nadal, who pulled out of next week’s grass-court tuneup at Halle, Germany, citing the need for rest ahead of Wimbledon, wears a thick wrap of white tape below his troublesome left knee for each match. “There are weeks when I feel better, weeks when I feel a bit worse,” Nadal said. “Sometimes you’re more positive; sometimes you’re more negative.”

all together.” The Belmont concludes a Triple Crown season in which hopes were high that Orb could break the 35year drought without a sweep of the classics. In fact, it’s the fourth time in five years each race was won by a different horse. Palace Malice, who skipped the Preakness, covered the 1½ miles in a slow 2:30.70 on a fast track following a 24-hour downpour. A crowd of 47,562 turned out on a warm, sunny afternoon as Tropical Storm Andrea moved out of the area. For the second time during this Triple Crown run, Pletcher sent out five horses. He came up short in the Derby five weeks ago, skipped the Preakness and regrouped, and

an owner who has supported him from the start. “It’s the mother of all great moments, I’ll tell you that,” the 85-year old Campbell said. “I’m proud for Dogwood and proud for my partners, and I’m proud of Todd, one of the greatest horse trainers of all time.” Sent off at odds of 13-1, Palace Malice returned $29.60, $11.20 and $6.70. Oxbow, trained by D. Wayne Lukas, returned $9.90 and $6.10, and Orb, the 2-1 favorite trained by Shug McGaughey, paid $3.90. “He made a good run around the turn, but we had given up so much,” McGaughey said about the colt who was still ninth with a half-mile to go and just could not make up the difference. Incognito was fourth, followed by Revolutionary, the filly Unlimited Budget, Overanalyze, Vyjack, Golden Soul, Will Take Charge, Giant Finish, Midnight Taboo, Freedom Child and Frac Daddy.

Oxbow, Orb finish 2nd, 3rd at Belmont NEW YORK – The two Hall of Fame jockeys were just about nose to nose as their horses hit the middle of the final turn of the Belmont Stakes. Gary Stevens, aboard Preakness winner Oxbow, was going to relinquish the lead to the hard-charging Palace Malice, and he knew it. He glanced over to his right and looked at good friend Mike Smith and told him: “You go on with him big boy, you’re moving better than me.” Was he ever. Palace Malice seized the lead with a quarter-mile to go Saturday in the final leg of the Triple Crown and ran off to a 3¼-length victory over Oxbow at Belmont Park, with Kentucky Derby winner Orb another 1¾ lengths back in third. “Mike rode a superb race,” Stevens said. “Midway around the turn, I said, ‘Well maybe.’ But I have ridden long enough to know that [Oxbow] was going to walk home. To finish second, I am really surprised.” Palace Malice, who came into the race with only one win in seven starts, vindicated trainer Todd Pletcher’s support of the 3-year-old colt despite a 12th place finish in the Derby. “It’s huge. It’s huge,” Pletcher said about his second Belmont win. “We always felt like he had a big one in him. We were just waiting for it to finally develop. I told [owner] Mr. [Cot] Campbell this horse is training unbelievable. I know he’s got a big run, we just need to put it

“To continue to grow the business, we really needed more space.” Brian Rosenburg, vice president of marketing and sales at Technipaq Inc.

Job-seeking truths for college grads Despite the investment parents make in their children’s college education, most kids are not properly prepared to find a job. “Many of today’s new college graduates have never set foot in their school’s career guidance office or held an internship, nor do they know how to find employment. It is now up to parents to share the real truths about finding a job in today’s tenuous employment climate,” said Ford R. Myers, career coach, speaker and author of “Get The Job You Want, Even When No One’s Hiring” (John Wiley & Sons). Myers suggests the following five job-seeking tips parents can impart to their new college graduate: 1. The most qualified job candidate does not necessarily get the job offer. In today’s difficult job market, strong qualifications and accomplishments are necessary. However, the candidate who will get the job is the one who self-markets and demonstrates to the employer that she is the best fit for the company’s needs, problems and challenges. 2. Research your way to success. Pay attention to local, regional and national sources of business intelligence. Study everything you can about the companies you’re most interested in. Learn to frame your ideas and value in terms that are relevant to the current business and economic landscape. 3. Networking is more important than you think. The best jobs are not obtained through websites or help wanted ads. They are acquired through networking. Adopt the discipline of blocking out time on your calendar for networking activities – now and for the duration of your career. 4. An employer’s offer is never its best offer. You might be tempted to take any job offer in a tight economy. Yet employers expect that you’ve done your salary research, and they anticipate having dynamic negotiations with you. In fact, if you don’t negotiate, the employer will likely be disappointed in you as a candidate. 5. Graduating from school is the beginning of your education, not the end. No company wants to hire someone whose base of knowledge is not current. As a professional, you should continuously build your credentials and knowledge. This will make you more attractive and marketable as a candidate. “Competition for top jobs is fiercer than ever as new college graduates compete with seasoned professionals for the best positions. It is important for these ‘up-andcomers’ to have 20/20 vision when it comes to seeing the truths about obtaining employment,” adds Myers. To help recent or soon-to-be graduates both focus and jump start their job search efforts, CareerPlace in Barrington, a nonprofit organization helping people in transition develop highly effective job search skills, is offering a three-day “boot camp” on June 17, 19 and 21. The College to Career program will offer 10 hands-on workshops during three, full-day sessions. “For families who have spent thousands of dollars helping students learn career skills, the $80 fee for this workshop program will be a small but vital investment in helping their students land the first job in their post-college career,” said Keith Owens, program director at CareerPlace.

Technipaq expands New facility in Cary to help boost production By BRETT ROWLAND browland@shawmedia.com CRYSTAL LAKE – Following years of growth, medical packaging products maker Technipaq is expanding with a new facility in Cary as it plans to boost production at its Crystal Lake manufacturing plant. Technipaq, a familyowned company that makes flexible packaging for the health-care industry, bought a 45,000-squarefoot building at 685 Industrial Drive in Cary. It will be used to store the raw materials now stacked up to the rafters at the Crystal Lake plant. Freeing up space at the manufacturing plant will allow the company to add more machines and increase production, said Brian Rosenburg, vice president of marketing and sales at Technipaq Inc. Sales at Technipaq have tripled since 2002. In the last three years alone, the company’s sales have increased 42 percent, Rosenburg said. Its last expansion was seven years ago. “To continue to grow the business, we really needed more space,” he said. The company will invest more than $2 million in the expansion. That includes the cost of the warehouse building, equipment, and additional employees, Rosenburg said. “We had been wanting to do this for two or three years, but with the economy, we were weary of making a big move,” he said. “When things stabilized and our growth continued, that gave us the confidence to go ahead.” In addition to concerns about the economy, Technipaq executives worried about the impact of a 2.3 percent tax on medical devices that went into effect this year as part of the Affordable Care Act. About 90 percent of the company’s products are for medical devices. Technipaq also makes packaging for food products and other markets.

Teach students about personal finance Harvard chamber golf It’s amazing how we require students to take math, English, history, and other classes to graduate high school, but we ignore essential subjects, such as personal finance. Understanding personal finance is crucial to this country’s success, and it will affect every student throughout his or her life. It’s time we made personal finance a part of our core curriculum. In the news, you constantly hear about how awful the savings rate of the average American is or how the youth of this country have serious financial problems. Here are some alarming statistics: • America’s personal savings rate fell to 4 percent in

Finance Mike Piershale May 2012. • One-third of working Americans have less than $1,000 saved; 60 percent have less than $25,000. • Two out of three college graduates owe $24,000 or more in student loans. • Credit card debt for 25- to 34-year-olds has increased 81 percent during the last two decades. The problem in America is education. Personal finance is simply not being taught at home or in our school systems. In fact, according

to the Council for Economic Education, only 13 states require a personal finance course be taken in order to graduate high school. Only 14 states require personal finance courses to be offered in the curriculum. Some of the states where classes are not required are Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, Vermont, and Washington, among others. Teaching young people financial basics is common sense as it is important for everyone in our country to have a good understanding of economics. We have to make better financial decisions both on personal and governmental levels,

and we can begin making a difference by making our voices heard. Start by talking to your school board and congressional leaders about bringing personal finance courses to the classroom. At the very least, make sure you teach your children how to be financially responsible.

Bii’s Gartner named to Pravana Artistic Council WEST DUNDEE – Bii Hair’s James Gartner has been named to the Pravana Artistic Council. The council generates new products ideas, predicts trends, sets up educational followings and provides artistic direction guidance at photo shoots. Gartner will work on new product launches by coloring and styling hair for national ad campaign photo shoots and testing new products in the salon. The position comes as a result of Gartner’s nearly five years of effort on behalf of the company in product testing and at photo shoots and hair shows. He feels his body of work and work ethic led to his being named to the council. “Pravana has explained that they see much value in my ability to turn things around quickly,” Gartner said. “They have also mentioned that my hair design skills are something they admire.”

“I feel so grateful for the opportunity and look forward to a bright partnership with Pravana.” Bii Hair, 1955 Huntley Road, West Dundee, also has received the the Elgin Climate Change Organization Green Award. The salon was nominated and bestowed this honor as a result of its eco-conscious practices which include being wind powered, and recycling more than 15 pounds per week. Going above and beyond in recycling efforts is a top priority among the 10 staff members and is one way the salon aimed to differentiate itself in the competitive world of hair care. “Being a young company it’s an honor to receive such recognition and it tells us that our passion for natural beauty and environmentally friendly service is valued by our guests and staff,” said Adam Swanlund, chief operating officer for Bii. Bii Hair Salon received a hand crafted ceramic award commemorating the honor, which is displayed in the reception area of the salon.

John Vycital’s hardware store Posing confidently in front of his store is John Joseph Vycital, the man in the center of this 1908 photograph. The business, on Green Street in McHenry, had been opened two years before and was to have a long, successful life. Vycital was born in 1878 in Czechoslovakia where he learned the sheet metal business as an apprentice. He came to America in 1899. He settled first in Racine, Wis., where he worked for the J.I. Case Threshing Machine Co. as a foreman in the sheet iron department. He came to McHenry in 1906 and bought the Green Street store, moving his large family into the living quarters above. They sold a full line of general hardware merchandise. In later years, daughter Frances managed the variety department. Son Charles joined his father in 1924. Their motto was “Quality and service through the years.” The business closed its doors in 1980.

Too late for life insurance? Dear Dave, Is it ever too late to get life insurance?

– Tiffany

Dear Tiffany, The only time it’s really too late to get life insurance is after you’re dead! But seriously, if you’re older than 70 it becomes pretty difficult to get affordable coverage, because insurance companies figure you’ve pretty much got one foot in the grave already at that point. You can get term life insurance pretty easily up until about age 70, and there are a few policies available past that point, depending on your health situation. But you really shouldn’t need life insurance when you’re that age and older. Hopefully, you’ve invested, saved, and set aside enough money to pay burial expenses and for a spouse – if you have one – to live on after you’re gone.

– Dave

Dear Dave, My father is terminally ill, and my two brothers and I recently had a talk with dad about his estate. He wants everything, except his house, left to us. He would like it to go to his long-time girlfriend, but it’s not written that way in the will. Should we have the will changed to reflect this desire?

– Dan

Dear Dan, I’m really sorry about your dad. I know this isn’t easy for you guys, but I’m glad you’re all working together to make

Dave Says Dave Ramsey things right. Yes, the will needs to be changed to reflect his wishes where the house is concerned. If he is still of sound mind and able to make that decision independently, the will should describe exactly what he wants to happen with every piece of his estate. There is an alternative though. It’s fine if he simply wants to give her the house. But he could also leave her a life estate that says she gets the use of the home as long as she’s alive. Then, upon her death, it would revert to you. Essentially, the house would be left to you, but she would have use of it during her life. This is a more traditional approach in these kinds of situations, but it’s your dad’s will and his estate. He can do whatever he wants. But remember, if he deeds the house to you and you give it to her, you’ll have a gift-tax situation on your hands. You don’t want to get into that mess!

Target rolling out organic, natural grocery store brand The Associated Press NEW YORK – Target Corp. is planning a new organic and natural store brand as it works to rev up its grocery business. The big-box retailer said the new brand, called Simply Balanced, will start with drinks and snacks like corn chips on Sunday. The line is an outgrowth of similar products within its existing Archer Farms store brand, which is positioned as a premium alternative to national name brands. Amanda Irish, senior director of Target’s store brands, said the new line is in response to the growing popularity of organic foods. Although they still account for less than 10 percent of overall grocery sales, she said organic foods are growing at twice the rate of conventional groceries. As such, the Minneapolisbased company also plans to announce next week that it will boost its organic food selection by 25 percent by 2017. The rollout also reflects a broader push by supermarkets and big-box retailers to improve the image of their

store brands. Store brands usually carry fatter profit margins for retailers than name brands and help lure shoppers with exclusive offerings to fend off competition. Supermarkets aren’t just focusing on cheaper prices when it comes to store brands, either. Many now have tiered store brands, with a line intended as a cheaper alternative, as well as more premium lines that compete with or seek to be better than those made by companies such as Kraft Foods and General Mills. In addition to Archer Farms, for example, Target also offers a store brand called Market Pantry that is about 10 to 30 percent cheaper than national name brands. The new Simply Balanced line, which will eventually include about 250 products over the next five months, will be priced more in line with Archer Farms and national brands.

Q&A: Understanding the SEC’s money-market reforms By STEVE GARMHAUSEN For The Associated Press Money-market funds: You might know them as a safe place to park your cash and perhaps gather a tiny bit of interest in the process. But in Washington, D.C., money funds have been the subject of high drama since the 2008 financial crisis. At issue have been years-long efforts by the Securities and Exchange Commission, Wall Street’s cop, to reform the rules under which these funds operate in order to avoid investor panics of the sort that occurred a few years ago. Those efforts have been dogged by opposition from the mutual fund industry. Wednesday marked a milestone in the saga, with the SEC releasing proposed new rules for the industry. The commission’s intent: To help shield the financial system from shocks that could put the economy at risk. The details of the reform effort can get technical pretty fast. Here’s a Q&A overview of what’s going on: Q: What’s the purpose of reforming the money-market fund industry? A: Money funds are more than a safe place for mom and pop to put their cash. These funds have $2.6 trillion in as-

sets, most of that from corporations, banks and governments. Corporations rely on the funds as a source of shortterm financing, making them a major part of the machinery that keeps the country’s financial system running. The effort to reform the industry’s rules springs from the 2008 financial crisis, when the risk of investor “runs” on money funds became clear. In September of that year, the oldest money fund_and one of the biggest_experienced a decline in value. That might not seem like a big deal, since mutual fund values fluctuate with the market all the time. But investors have long expected money funds to maintain a stable value of $1 per share. When the Reserve Primary Fund “broke the buck,” dropping from $1 to 97 cents in value, investors panicked. Within days, investors had yanked some $300 billion from funds similar to Reserve Primary, helping to bring the short-term credit market to a standstill. Companies struggled to find the funding needed to make payroll and meet other critical expenses. Only intervention by the Treasury Department, which offered to insure the funds, prevented a potentially disastrous chain reaction. Avoiding a replay of this scenario is the SEC’s goal.

Q: What is the SEC proposing?

A: The commission has put forward two proposals. The first requires the riskiest kind of money funds to switch from the current system, in which they use a “fixed” share price of $1, to a “floating” share price that fluctuates with the market. Money funds invest very conservatively, but the value of the assets they hold does, on rare occasions, move up and down ever so slightly. Traditionally, when portfolio values have fallen, the parent fund companies have stepped in to prop up the value of the shares. The company that ran the Reserve Primary Fund was the exception_it didn’t have the resources to prop up the fund’s $1 “net asset value.” The idea behind the floating share prices, or floating NAVs, is to de-stigmatize changes in fund value. “The idea was to have the NAVs float, and train investors to understand that they’ll fluctuate,” says John Rekenthaler, vice president of research at Morningstar, Inc. That, in theory, would make panics less likely. The floating NAV proposal would not affect the two safer flavors of money funds, known as retail and government funds. The SEC’s second proposal

attempts to more directly discourage investors from making runs on money funds. It envisions a stable share price but includes charging investors a fee for redemptions during times of stress and giving fund directors the ability to temporarily suspend redemptions for up to 30 days. The two SEC proposals may ultimately be adopted separately or combined into a reform package. Q: To what extent would all this affect average investors? A: With the proposal just unveiled, the industry is still deciphering what its impact might be. Even if certain funds’ NAVs end up floating, their range of volatility is expected to be minimal. But Jerry Klein, managing director at HighTower’s Treasury Partners, worries that such a change could for technical reasons make money funds more difficult to use in overnight bank “sweep” accounts. In sweep accounts, money is moved from a cash account to an investment account overnight in order to earn a small return. In addition, investors who don’t have gains and losses to report under the fixed-NAV model, in some cases, may be required to report even tiny gains for tax purposes, he says.

S&P gives Freddie ‘Above Average’ servicer ranking The Associated Press NEW YORK – Standard & Poor’s for the first time has assigned Freddie Mac a ranking as a loan servicer, giving the government-controlled mortgage giant an “Above Average” ranking

for its servicing of loans tied to rental apartment buildings. Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services said Friday it based the assessment on Freddie’s seasoned management team, advanced technology and strong financial controls.

S&P said its outlook for the ranking is stable. The government rescued Freddie and larger sibling Fannie Mae during the 2008 financial crisis after they incurred massive losses on risky mortgages. The companies received taxpayer-fund-

ed loans totaling about $187 billion. They have turned profitable in recent months as the housing market has recovered. McLean, Va.-based Freddie this month will have paid back about $37 billion of the $71.3 billion it received.

10 Tips to Boost Your Interview Skills Listen

By Carole Martin, Monster Contributing Writer Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for job interviews. Why, you ask? Interviewing is a learned skill, and there are no second chances to make a great first impression. So study these 10 strategies to enhance your interview skills.

Practice Good Nonverbal Communication

From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information, either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity. Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace.

Dress for the Job or Company Today’s casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as “they” do when you interview. It is important to know what to wear to an interview and to be well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview.

Don’t Be Too Familiar The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of familiarity should mimic the interviewer’s demeanor. It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the

Ask Questions It’s a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any inappropriate slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation -- these topics could send you out the door very quickly.

Don’t Be Cocky Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position’s requirements and relating only that information.

Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if you’re putting on a performance to demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved.

Take Care to Answer the Questions When interviewers ask for an example of a time when you did something, they are asking behavioral interview questions, which are designed to elicit a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not only don’t answer the question, but you also miss

When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, “No.” Wrong answer. Part of knowing how to interview is being ready to ask questions that demonstrate an interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from listening to what you’re asked during the interview and asking for additional information.

HOROSCOPE

TODAY - In the year ahead, you should be able to make a major change in a project, effectively turning it into two separate endeavors. Both will do well, thanks to your innovative ideas. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Two interrelated projects might have a good potential for proﬁt if they’re handled in tandem. Try to see the big picture, and act accordingly. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A clever friend might discuss a new idea. If you believe

it to be a good one and there’s room for you to share in it, do so. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- We all have varied roles to play in life. You’ve been a giver for a while -- now it’s time to start receiving. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you take an old venture apart, you should be able to discover new ways to make it proﬁtable. Don’t be afraid to get a little messy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Your many accomplishments will not only be for yourself,

but for the beneﬁt of others. Your efforts will bear much fruit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Usually, what we know is more signiﬁcant than who we know. However, when it comes to the present cycle, your social contacts will be of vital importance. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A casual acquaintance might ask for help sorting out a problem. Don’t hesitate to ask for a fee if it falls in your occupational domain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An alliance has an excellent chance of being successful. You’re instincts will tell you who will be productive and who won’t. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You’re presently in a cycle where good things could come without much effort. Reap the beneﬁts, but don’t take anything for granted. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- It isn’t likely you will feel comfortable if you’re allowed to play only a minor role in a big

project. You belong up front, calling the shots. Find a way to get there. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Your ability to capably balance several endeavors at the same time gives you an edge over the competition. Don’t waste it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- It can be unwise to change your mind at the last minute, but there are plenty of times when it’s necessary. Today, you might need to call an audible for a good reason.

A system that truly measures up Our granddaughter Johannah was over at the house the other night, and she wanted to bake a recipe for her high school Spanish class. After checking to make sure we had all the ingredients, she was ready to rock and roll. But when I glanced at the recipe, I felt a wave of panic. “A hundred and fifty grams of sugar?” I asked. “Two hundred and twentyfive grams of flour? And then bake it at 150 degrees for 50 minutes? None of this makes any sense.” “Well, it’s a Spanish recipe,” she said. “It will all have to be converted.” She fired up the computer and found a quick conversion chart, and before you knew it, our American-made measuring cups and spoons were dusty with flour and sugar. “It calls for two bananas,” I said. “How many is that in Spain? And how long does it take for 50 European minutes to tick by?” She shot me the kind of look you give to the hopelessly addled. Or maybe just anybody more than a generation older, which is pretty much the same thing when you consider how my generation flounders in the befuddling world she navigates so smoothly. The conversion chart tried to reassure me the Spanish recipe would work even if you wanted to measure the bananas by weight. It switched pounds and ounces into kilos, but that worried me all the more. After all, aren’t kilos used only to measure the tonnage of a nuclear device? That was the good old American way of doing things when I grew up in the ’50s. What would happen when she shoved this nuclear Spanish kilo-concoction into a blazing oven? And exactly how blazing is an oven at

150 Euro-degrees? Would our kitchen become ground zero – or whatever it is that they call zero over there? As it turns out, disaster was averted. Nothing exploded. If you’re reading this, you can thank Johannah for saving the world. I hope she wins a Nobel Prize, or at least the gratitude of her Spanish classmates for bringing in a tasty treat. I got to lick the bowl. Still, that recipe got me thinking of those days a few decades back when they tried to shove the metric system down our throats, claiming it was inevitable, but our stubbornness won out. Oh, the car manufacturers went so far as to print the kilometers in tiny print just inside the big circle of mile numbers, but that was just a curiosity. It’s kind of thrilling when you cross the border into Canada and see that the speed limit has jumped to 100, but the fun fades pretty quickly when you realize that at 100 klicks, every Canadian goose is beating you to your destination, even if they follow the roads and stop at the lights. I admit there’s a kind of simple elegance to a system that operates on multiples of 10, with names that change only the prefixes to give you a hint to how they compare with each other. Take the meter family – Milli, Centi and Kilo. You know the big guys from the little guys even before you meet them in person. Still, why should we Americans have to buckle under just because the rest of the world is too doggone slow to catch on to the way we measure things? I mean, how hard is it to remember that one ounce of milk is one-eighth of a cup, which means that it is onesixteenth of a pint, and that 128 ounces make a gallon?

Toby Cooper, 6, bowls at Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center in Johnsburg. Kyle Grillot – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Or, if you mean that other kind of ounce – the one that measures weight instead of volume – that there are 16 of them to a pound, which means that it takes 32,000 of them to make a ton? And when I remind you there are 12 inches to a foot, isn’t it immediately obvious to you there are 36 of them to a yard and 63,360 of them to a mile? See, if we can figure out all that stuff right here in the good old U S of A, there’s no reason why the rest of the world can’t do it. They’re just not trying hard enough. And their laziness is no excuse for us to dump a perfectly good system of weights and measures just to make it easier for all the world’s underachievers. If we give in to them, we would just be enabling their sloth, and sloth is one of the Seven Deadly Sins – which converts to 11.3 Deadly Sins by their measure. They can keep their liters, grams and meters – I like my gallons, pounds and miles. They already tried once before to fox us into switching to their system, but we stayed the course. They may think they can trick my granddaughter into joining their ranks, but I think she’s smarter than that. She knows you don’t abandon a system that works just fine, just because everybody else in the world wants you to. At least, she’ll know that if she follows my advice. Because there’s no reason to change how we weigh or measure things. Ever. I wouldn’t touch that other system with a 10-cubit pole.

A casserole that serves the best By J.M. HIRSCH The Associated Press Casseroles have never really had much of a place in my culinary repertoire. It’s a time thing mostly. I’d rather sear something off in a few minutes than stand around while it slowly bakes. I’ve also never been much of a fan of dishes in which everything sort of just oozes together. Though I wasn’t a picky eater as a child – and I never suffered from the foods-can’t-touch syndrome – I am the sort of guy who likes to eat one food at a time, usually saving the best for last. Hey, we all have our little compulsions. That’s mine. But this doesn’t mean I’m blind to the appeal of a casserole bubbling away in the oven. There are many solid reasons so many home cooks favor them. So I decided to challenge myself to come up with a casserole that I could get behind. In true casserole fashion, it needed to be richly satisfying, a true comfort food. And to satisfy my inclination to save the best part of the meal for last, every part of the casserole needed to qualify as potentially the best. What I came up with isn’t the healthiest dinner I can imagine, but it was unbelievably delicious. And it is so worth it. I ended up with a three-layer casserole that

begins with a bed of thinly sliced and roasted sweet potatoes. The potatoes then are topped with a tangysweet mess of pulled pork. The final layer is a threecheese macaroni and cheese with Parmesan-breadcrumb topping. Like I said, every part of this dish needed to be the best. You will not regret making this.

Mac and Cheese Pulled Pork Casserole 8 servings

Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch springform baking pan with cooking spray. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, cumin, chili powder and 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Slice the sweet potatoes as thinly as possible. A mandoline or food processor is best, but careful slicing with a knife works, too. Arrange a single layer of the slices in the prepared pan. Sprinkle with a bit of the spice blend, then spritz with cooking spray. Repeat with additional layers of sweet potatoes and seasonings until you have used all of the slices and seasoning mixture.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned at the edges. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the pork and cook for 1 hour. Remove the pork from pan. Using 2 forks, tear and shred the pork into bite-sized pieces. Discard the water from the pan, then return the pork to it. Add the barbecue sauce and vinegar, then mix well. Set aside. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the saucepan. Return the pasta to medium heat and add the creme fraiche, cheddar and Gruyere. Stir until melted, then add a splash of hot sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the pulled pork in an even layer over the roasted sweet potatoes. Spread the mac and cheese over the pork. In a small bowl, mix together the Parmesan, panko and butter. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mac and cheese, then bake for 15 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are lightly toasted and the center of the casserole is hot.

The Gavers Barndance in Woodstock raises awareness and funding for cancer research.

Barndance gets ‘Best of US’ nod By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com The Gavers Barndance has been named one of the best community celebrations in the country, an honor that could net $10,000 for the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation. The 14th annual event, which takes place July 20 at Emricson Park in Woodstock to raise awareness and funding for cancer research, was nominated as part of a “Best of US” campaign hosted by Johnsonville Sausage. The campaign narrowed 275 nominations for best community celebrations and educators to a top 10 in each category. Through June 14, people can vote at www.johnsonville. com/bestofus for their favorite community celebration and educator. Individuals can submit one vote a day in each category. The nominations receiving the highest number of votes in each category will earn a grand prize of $10,000. The additional nine finalists receive $1,000. “If you think about all of the things that go on in the country during the year, it’s pretty wild,” event founder Steve Gavers said of the nomination. Gavers heads up the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation, which he began after surviving cancer. The Barndance motto is “Never Be Defeated,” and awards are given at the Barndance each year to those whose positive attitudes have inspired others. Gavers had heard about the Johnsonville campaign through social media and responded to a request for nominee information. He never imagined the Barndance

would be among the top 20 and then, the top 10. He, of course, hopes to win the grand prize, but said he’s simply pleased to get the recognition. “I look at it, you know what, just getting it out there and people knowing about us. It’s people knowing what we’re doing. If you look at the big picture, we’ve won that way,” he said. He encourages people to vote online, but moreso to come out to this year’s Barndance, which features barbecue, a live auction and entertainment under a big tent. New this year is roasted sweet corn. The band Hans and the Hormones will close out the event. Gavers credits the event’s success to the people who’ve helped him coordinate it through the years. “One way or another, we’re all affected by what we’re trying to raise awareness and funds for, and that’s cancer,” he said. “But the biggest thing is we try to keep it a lot of fun.” In all, the Barndance has raised more than $4.5 million with funding going to numerous area organizations and hospitals. Last year’s event drew about 2,400 people. The goal is 2,500, Gavers said, but he’s already surpassed any expectations he had when the event began. “We were hoping to raise $10,000 on the first one,” he said. “We raised $125,000. That was a mind-blower right there. Every year after that it’s been as good or better. “I say, ‘Thank you,’ to people, but deep down I feel that thank you is never really enough, going on 14 years and it’s still cranking the way it is.”

6 Neon hues give decor punch By KIM COOK The Associated Press The neon brights that peppered the 1980s are back, in fashion and décor. Highlighter hues and glow-in-thedark tints provide a shot of adrenaline after a few seasons of mellow, mushroom-y color palettes. Of course, these colors aren’t for everyone. But if you’re ready to play, here are some options and expert advice on how to go sassy but stylish. Tanika Nayak, an interior designer and shelter-show host on HGTV and the Food Network, loves bright hues. She says the key is to make them look up-to-the-minute and not circa 1983. “Use neon in small doses,” she advises. “You don’t want to blind anyone. My favorite use of neon is against a crisp white backdrop. In a dining room, start with a glass table, white walls and pop it with bold, colorful neon dinnerware, placemats and vases – affordable and fun. If you dare to go even bolder, use neon print accent chairs.” Nayak says balance is everything when working with these powerhouse hues. “If you have a big, colorful personality and really want that bedroom or bathroom to glow, then go ahead and paint the entire room with your bold color. But balance it with white, black, gray or even a pastel. For example, a bedroom painted in bold green neon can work if the bedding, rug and window treatments offset it with a calming white and/or a pale, soft blue,” she suggests. Take the same tack with a bathroom; add light-colored towels and mat to cool things down. HomeGoods has some well-priced accessories, such as bright orange and green ottomans, a ceramic lamp in citrus, a large selection of colorful kitchen tools and mirrored decorative boxes.

A little elephant and a set of dinosaur-topped jars are part of the collection. “I want to make color accessible to everyone,” Jones said. “Painting a wall a bright color might not be realistic, but people can still bring in that fun, bright pop of the unexpected through home accessories. I hope my work inspires people to take chances and not take decorating too seriously.” (www.etsy. com/shop/juxtapositionsc) Los Angeles-based designer Byron Samayoa’s laser-cut coasters embossed with elemental information were not initially intended to be neon acrylic. “The coasters found their way to neon via the creative process – my original idea was to start with a wood set and a clear acrylic set, but every time I went back to my samples, the neon ones always stood out from the rest.” (http://shop. bplusshop.com) Canadian textile artist Christine Skaley Reid works out of her studio in Mission, British Columbia, creating eclectic throw pillows in color-banded and right-ontrend ’70s-style floral prints.

1995 Marengo grad releases her 1st novel ‘My Chemical Mountain’ honored by Random House By JAMI KUNZER jkunzer@shawmedia.com Corina Vacco was voted “Most Likely to Write a PrizeWinning Novel” her senior year at Marengo High School. Those who voted knew what they were talking about. A 1995 graduate of the school, Vacco now lives in Berkeley, Calif., and will release her first novel, “My Chemical Mountain,” on Tuesday. The young adult novel already has won the Delacorte Prize for a First Young Adult Novel, an honor bestowed by Random House, the world’s largest English language trade publisher. Vacco’s novel was chosen for the prize from among 640 submitted manuscripts, with 12 editors voting. The prize came after years of submitting her novel, as well as revisions, to publishers. “It took awhile to sink in when I got that phone call,” she said of the call she received from Random House announcing the win. It came after she’d received numerous rejections, with agents telling her, “We don’t think we’ll be able to sell it.” Because of this, she encourages other writers not to give up. “I’ve always wanted to be an

author,” said Vacco, whose parents are Jennifer (Geres) Sullivan of Marengo and Jay Berman of Woodstock. Her stepmother is Kathy Margason. Vacco went by the name Corina Berman while living in Marengo until age 18. Growing up in Marengo, she said, she was inspired to write on cold, rainy days. “I wrote my first novel when I was 7 in pencil with water color illustrations. It was dreadful, but I’ve always wanted to write. ... My grandma took me to the Marengo library ever day when I was a little girl,” she said. Vacco wrote the first draft of “My Chemical Mountain” while living in western New York, where she researched a nearby town situated near one of the most dangerous landfills in the world. The landfill contained chemical sludge from Love Canal, a now defunct neighborhood in Niagra Falls, N.Y. An elementary school was adjacent to the landfill. As described by Vacco, the novel tells the story of a boy who breaks into the abandoned mills and factories that plague his run-down town after his father dies. While he and his two best friends rage against the noxious pollution that suffocates their town, they also embrace the danger of their industrial

wasteland and boast about living on the edge. “They have lots of folklore to explain these weird things that go on in the landfill,” she said. Barrels containing toxic chemicals buried in a field provide the setting for robot wars. Green creek water is created by aliens. With a strong theme of friendship and loyalty, the novel is being compared with “The Outsiders.” Vacco, who moves often with her husband, who serves in the U.S. Coast Guard, said she was writing a fantasy novel when she stumbled upon the inspiration for “My Chemical Mountain.” The family was headed to Buffalo, N.Y., and Vacco was researching where to live. Based on her research, she had ruled out anywhere near Love Canal but became intrigued by the town. When the family moved into downtown Buffalo, Vacco drove to a town meeting about 12 miles away in which a panel was fielding questions about the pollution. Told not to eat vegetables from their gardens, those who spoke had mixed feelings about the situation. Most of them were unable to sell their homes. Some were employed by the chemical company and afraid to lose jobs. “I was very interested in

the idea of not having a cut and dry view toward the pollution,” Vacco said. “There’s the attitude where ‘This is my home. I’ve been here all my life. I don’t want to leave.’ ” One boy particularly inspired Vacco when he spoke. He and his friends had grown up playing in the landfill and were coming to realize how dangerous it had been. “I couldn’t forget the energy of that boy and how he changed the room,” she said. “He had given people passion, inspired people.” The story unfolded from there, with Vacco writing an outline of the novel while sitting in her parked car, with her window cracked, across from the actual landfill. She worked on it for about four or five years before sending it to publishers. “It’s a story about finding your voice when the powersthat-be want to silence you,” Vacco said.

Say yesto bowling Story by JAMI KUNZER – jkunzer@shawmedia.com

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP: Samantha Scholz, 13, helps Toby Cooper, 6, learn to hold the ball correctly at Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center in Johnsburg. Cooper takes his turn. Luke Cooper, Toby Cooper and Wesley Scholz pick up their balls off of the return rack. Raymond’s has a program for children called “Say No to Drug, Say Yes to Bowling” that provides free games all summer.

o keep children out of mischief this summer, Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center is letting them bowl for free. Those at the Johnsburg business say the initiative thrived last summer when children bowled about 9,000 free games. In doing so, families endorsed the center’s “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Bowling” campaign. Along with bowling, those involved take part in periodic law enforcement safety and awareness presentations and become eligible for prize drawings. Those behind the program hope they also develop an appreciation of and camaraderie with the area’s police officers. “I think it’s the greatest thing that was ever invented,” Owner Ray Kuna said of the campaign. He and his sons, Joe and Steve, are the third generation of Kunas in the bowling business, dating to the 1950s when

Ray’s father first built a center in McHenry. Ray worked alongside his father before opening his own 12-lane center in Johnsburg in 1977. Built in 2005, the Raymond’s Bowl & Entertainment Center of today reflects the changing times, with 16 traditional lanes and eight boutique style lanes in a private area with large video screens and couches. The family’s connection to the community has grown along with the business. Yet, bowling and its benefits haven’t changed, they say. Whether at an old-time facility or a state-of-the-art center, bowling is more than a sport, they say. It’s a way to keep families together, active and healthy, said Walter Pekovitch, center manager, who spearheads the “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Bowling” campaign. The business works with schools and police departments throughout the area to promote the campaign, distributing

Raymond’s Bowl offers free games to give children a safe place to go this summer

information to at least 30 schools before the end of the school year. Students are given “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Bowling” cards that entitle them to one free game of bowling, including shoes, every day during the summer. After one free game, families can bowl alongside the students for half-price, $1.50 a game. “It gives kids something to do to keep them out of trouble, off the streets and occupied,” Pekovitch said. “It’s very affordable for the entire family.” Nine-year-old Taiski Ryan of Spring Grove took advantage of the program last summer, having never really bowled before. He now sees himself as “pretty good,” with a high score of 154. “I think it’s great because [if] you get a very bad score, you can always go again,” he said. “Free is everyone’s favorite price.”

His mother, Yuka, said Taiski was the first to sign up again this summer. The goal is not only to draw in families during a sometimes slow summer season, when outdoor activities become more appealing, but also to develop a rapport with police departments, Pekovitch said. Departments are invited in throughout the summer to do vehicle demonstrations and fingerprint, bike safety, internet safety and K9 presentations. At the end of the summer, the business hosts a party and “Bowl with a Cop” day. Some who’ve participated have gone on to become regular bowlers, Pekovitch said. Those involved can join leagues and enjoy bowling for a lifetime, he said. “It gives people who normally don’t go bowling a reason to try bowling,” Pekovitch said. “We had a lot of kids who never bowled before try it last year. A certain amount of kids become bowlers, and that’s what’s good for us.”

Brides can choose someone to give them away, or no one My dad passed when I was younger, and I’m having a hard time picturing my walk down the aisle. Should I ask someone to accompany me or go it alone? First, we’re sorry for your loss. Whether it’s been two years or 20 since a loved one’s been gone, you always feel their absence during big moments like your wedding. One thing that can help is including him in some manner.

“You can honor him in many heartfelt ways – have the officiant say a few words, light a candle or acknowledge him in your ceremony program or toast,” said Martha Stewart Weddings editor-in-chief Elizabeth Graves, whose own father died when she was 16. As for who should be next to you as you enter, that’s entirely your call. A bride no longer needs someone to give her away.

You can walk down the aisle alone or with anyone who plays a very meaningful role in your life,” she said. “For me, it was my brother, and it was so nice to have him by my side.”

How can I encourage my groom to help with weddingrelated tasks without coming across like a nag? The key is to ask for specific assistance. Generalities like “I need help! There’s

tons to do!” sound vast and ominous. And in truth, he probably has no idea how to help. However, statements like, “Let’s go hear some music!” sound manageable, and even an enjoyable way to spend an evening. Create a timeline of to-dos so you both know exactly what has to be done and when. Then pick tasks he’ll enjoy, such as selecting the menu or planning the

honeymoon. Also, see if he’s willing to pitch in on the not-sofun activities, like getting the guest list Excel sheet in tiptop shape or proofreading the invitation. Think of planning not as a chore but as a choose-your-own-adventure, and you’ll be set for a great wedding (and a great marriage).

Dad helps himself to best of buffet at holidays Dear Abby: I host all of the holiday parties and dinner parties for my family. Whenever I have my parents over, my father insists on helping himself to the top layer of every casserole. He’ll scrape all the cheese off the potatoes, the crunchy onion topping off the green bean casserole, etc., leaving just the bare vegetables for everyone else. I have asked Dad not to do it because it is inconsiderate of the other guests. I can see people are bothered by it, so now they make a beeline to the buffet so they can beat him to it. Dad got offended when I talked to him about it, but he continues to do it. Mom refuses to get involved, and I have said all I can say. What to do? – Burned Up In Illinois Dear Burned Up: A guest who grabs all

the goodies at a dinner party is a hog. Because your father refuses to change his behavior, I will offer a few suggestions: The first is to alter your menu to avoid serving casserole dishes. If that’s not possible, make your father his own separate casserole with his name on it, so he can have it all to himself. Or plate the food in the kitchen and stop serving it buffet-style. Dear Abby: Over the past few years, as social media has become more popular, I have noticed a trend among many people. They now favor that form of communication over personal human interaction. This is especially true of my girlfriend of five years. We have the normal relationship problems I feel could be addressed, but from the moment she gets home from

work she’s in front of the computer playing Facebook games, posting status updates or messaging “friends.” She sits there for hours, lost in her virtual world. We rarely talk anymore, and when we do it turns into an argument because I’m trying to discuss what I see as a serious problem. The Internet and social media are great tools for bringing worlds together, if they are not abused. But for many people, I think, social media is doing more harm than good. It has depersonalized human contact and has the potential to destroy relationships and isolate individuals. I’m interested in your opinion and any advice you can give me on helping my girlfriend understand my concerns. – Alone In The Real World

Dear Alone: People cannot be two places at once. When relationships aren’t nurtured, they wither. If this has been going on for an extended period, then it’s time you give your girlfriend a wake-up call: You feel abandoned. By spending more time in the virtual world than in the real one, she is neglecting her relationship with you. Ask her if she would be willing to work on a compromise so she spends time with you. If she can’t do that, and the Internet is giving her everything she needs, then you should find a lady who is willing to give you more of what YOU need, which is undivided attention. • Write Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O.

Woman stays clean but feels effects of ‘family disease’ “Monica” knew her family was a little different. Even as a young girl, she was well aware she needed to take care of her mom rather than the other way around. She never knew her dad, but she knew her mom had lots of friends who came over and she and her sister would be best to stay in their room. Nights were difficult because most of the time her mom’s friends left very late and sometimes stayed all night. “Monica” knew because she and her sister saw them sleeping on the floor when they left for school. They moved quite often, sometimes because her

mom was in trouble again or didn’t have any money. “Monica” was in more schools than she cared to count. Each move required her to adjust to new routines, new schedules and new friends. It was a little harder each time. Her mom’s alcoholism also worsened, so “Monica” was taking care of her mom and her sister. At age 13, she was essentially managing the family, cooking, cleaning and trying to balance the little money they had. She was losing sleep from worry about money, living arrangements, police and neighbor problems, homework, her mother’s health,

breaking up parties, scouting for burning cigarette butts, making her sister’s lunch and many other issues. At one point, her Mom decided Arizona would be a better place to live, so she packed all their belongings and the kids in the car and, with no job and no place to live, left for the city of the sun on a rainy Monday night. Upon arrival, they ended up living in the car and begging for money and food. This lasted about three months until they were busted one too many times for vagrancy. “Monica” and her sister lived briefly with a foster family while her mom was in

rehab. After that, “Monica” and her sister were sent to live with their aunt. They only heard from their mom one time after that, and then several years later they heard she died in a fire. “Monica” didn’t feel much of anything when she heard about her mom’s passing. If she was honest, she might have told you she felt relief mixed with resentment. Many years later, “Monica” had been through a series of unsuccessful relationships, usually with alcoholic men, not only because of their alcoholism but because of her unbearable need to control everything.

“Monica” had hated taking care of her mom and felt like her childhood had been stolen, she couldn’t find another way to behave. She was full of fears of being abandoned, of not having enough money or enough of anything, for that matter. She was painfully insecure and angry all the time. Although “Monica” didn’t drink alcohol or use drugs, she had “the family disease.” She finally found an Al Anon group and slowly began working through her issues.

“The Internship” H½ STARRING: Vince Vaughn, Owen Wilson, Rose Byrne PLOT: After losing their jobs as watch salesman, a pair of hapless 40-somethings (Vaughn and Wilson) scam their way into Google’s intern program. They compete with college students 20 years their junior for full-time jobs at the Internet giant. RATING: PG-13 for sexuality, some crude humor, partying and language TIME: 1 hour, 59 minutes VERDICT: Both a particularly lazy comedy for producer and co-writer Vaughn and a two-hour recruitment ad for Google. Director Shawn Levy and Vaughn attempt to recreate the slobs vs. snobs appeal of such ’80s comedies as “Revenge of the Nerds” and “Meatballs” but fail because the script lacks any attitude besides piety for the glories of Google. You shouldn’t have to pay to see this movie; Google should pay you. –

The history of Shakespeare movie adaptations is littered with stiff productions that crack under the weight of its sacred material. That, thankfully, is definitely not an issue to Whedon’s slinky, unadorned “Much Ado,” which, if anything, is

“The Purge” H ½ STARRING: Ethan Hawke, Lena Headey, Max Burkholder PLOT: A family is held hostage for harboring the target of a murderous syndicate during the Purge, a 12-hour period in which any and all crime is legalized. RATING: R for strong disturbing violence and some language TIME: 1 hour, 25 minutes VERDICT: Characters are frequently urged to “release the beast” in “The Purge,” a high-concept homeinvasion shocker set in a future where one night a year, all crime is legal. But what should be a clammy exercise in claustrophobic, queasy tension becomes, in the hands of

• LING Continued from page 16 I’m determined to shower her with as much love as I can and expose her to as much diversity as I can.

You say you’re ready to get back on the road for your Oprah Winfrey Network series “Our America with Lisa Ling.” Was returning to work ever a question in your mind?

Personally, I’ve always known that I wanted to go back to work because I’m confident and I’m certain that my daughter will have a better mother in me if I’m doing the things that I’m excited about and that I’m passionate about. ... I’m proud of the work that I’m doing, and I hope that my daughter will be proud of that, too.

Who was most responsible for instilling your sense of selfesteem?

My role model in life has been my grandmother, who passed away when I was 18-years-old. But she was someone who was educated at Cambridge in music and carried the weight of her family on her back and was just an intrinsically beautiful woman. ... I definitely hope that my daughter will see those kinds of qualities in me one day. Every decision I’ve made, I’ve always thought, ‘is this something I can be proud of?’ And now, all the

decisions that I make I think, ‘is this something that Jett will be proud of?’ The kinds of role models and the kinds of women that she will eventually look up to and revere, I want those to be really strong women ’cause I want her to be a strong woman.

So are you ready for baby No. 2? We’re just trying to figure out No. 1 for a while. We’re going to see how it goes.

LISA LING ON

MOTHERHOOD By NICOLE EVATT • The Associated Press

isa Ling is feeling unstoppable. The only thing standing in her way at the moment is an elusive battery cover on a Fisher-Price mobile gym. Three screwdrivers later and she still can’t figure out how to insert the batteries. But everything else in Ling’s zen-like home, a stone’s throw from the beach in Santa Monica, is perfectly in order – including Ling, who appears completely at ease with new motherhood. The 39-year-old journalist and husband Paul Song welcomed their first child March 8. There’s not a hair out of place as she rushes around assembling baby toys on the dining room table and tending to 9-week-old daughter Jett. “That’s why I have makeup caked on me because I am totally sleepdeprived!” joked Ling. “I love this experience and this journey that my husband and I are on. It is hard. I’m not going to say that there is anything easy about it, but I feel unstoppable. I’m determined to raise a strong girl.” She’s also determined not to slow down. In a recent interview, Ling discussed why she’s ready to get back to work, her Dove campaign to promote girls’ self-esteem and if she’s planning for baby No. 2. Why did you decide to get involved with Dove’s “Let’s Make Girls Unstoppable” initiative? This campaign in particular really struck a chord with me, given the fact that I just gave birth to a baby girl. And even before I had her, I started to get really concerned about this world that she’s growing up in, the kinds of images, the kinds of role models that she will be exposed to and that she will have.

Did you ever struggle with self-esteem issues? I started working in television quite young, actually, and I definitely felt very insecure about what I looked like. ... My first job in TV was hosting this young teen magazine show, and all these high school teenagers showed up from all over Sacramento, Calif., and they chose four of us to host the show, two boys and two girls. And of the two girls, I was kind of the perky smart one and the other girl was the pretty one. It made me feel very insecure, and I had to really work though that.

How do you plan to raise a confident daughter? My husband, for example, with our daughter, he tells her every time he sees her, ‘you’re beautiful, you’re beautiful.’ He wants her to hear from the most important man in her life that she’s beautiful so she doesn’t have to seek validation anywhere else. ...
