DeKalb police had the largest increase in drunken driving arrests out of the top departments the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists surveyed, the organization announced this week.

DeKalb police increased their drunken driving arrests by 44 percent, from 168 in 2011 to 242 in 2012, according to the survey. Organization leaders typically recognize police officers with high arrest numbers, but they are considering attending a DeKalb City Council meeting to honor the department’s year-over-year

“If there is more DUI arrests in one town than there were the year before, that doesn’t mean there’s more drunk drivers,” Kreslin said. “It could be that they have stepped up enforcement.”

Almost 700 police agencies throughout the state were surveyed, with 84 percent responding. The alliance is a citizen-activist group found-

ed in 1982 by victims of drunken driving, but has received a grant from the Illinois Department of Transportation to conduct this survey for 23 years.

The survey did not take into account how prosecutors handled the drunken driving cases once they reached the court system or the strength of the evidence behind the arrest.

Outside Chicago, Rockford led municipal departments with 699 arrests in 2012, followed by Naperville with 576, Springfield with 460 and Peoria with 426.

eKALB – Joshua Gade had only 53 cents to his name, but he was willing to donate it to the one restaurant in DeKalb that fed him for free.

Gade, 31, of DeKalb, gave his change to Feed’em Soup, a nonprofit organization that provides free restaurant-style food service.

Gade said the 53 cents was all he had left for the month, but said

it was worth giving to an organization that helped him fulfill his needs.

“Without no food, I have no energy to look for work,” Gade said.

“So I figured, hey, might as well help with expenses.”

Gade is one of many customers who value the excellent food service and friendly staff at Feed’em Soup. Located at 122 S. First St., the nonprofit organization was founded in 2010 with the goal of alleviating hunger in the community. In

drunken driving enforcement a priority, even when fatalities associated with drunken driving are decreasing, Kreslin said.

“If we don’t have the officers and chiefs on board making sure they make it a priority, then you’re reading about more people who have lost their lives,” Kreslin said.

The survey also analyzes the number of arrests per officer for each department. DeKalb averaged 4.03 arrests per officer, while DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office had 3.21, Sycamore had 1.3, Cortland had 1.27, and Genoa had 1.

past years, Feed’em Soup provided free meals twice a month, but this year decided to serve meals weekly.

Gade found out about Feed’em Soup when he was homeless and couldn’t find an available room at Hope Haven in DeKalb. Even after finding work and sharing an apartment with two other roommates, he still goes to their meal service every Wednesday.

WASHINGTON – With a solemnity reserved for momentous occasions, the Senate passed historic legislation Thursday offering the priceless hope of citizenship to millions of immigrants living illegally in America’s shadows. The bill also promises a military-style effort to secure the long-porous border with Mexico.

The bipartisan vote was 68-32 on a measure that sits atop President Barack Obama’s second-term domestic agenda. Even so, the bill’s prospects are highly uncertain in the Republican-controlled House, where conservatives generally oppose citizenship for immigrants living in the country unlawfully.

Spectators in galleries that overlook the Senate floor watched expectantly as senators voted one by one from their desks. Some onlookers erupted in chants of “Yes, we can” after Vice President Joe Biden announced the bill’s passage.

After three weeks of debate, there was no doubt about the outcome. Fourteen Republicans joined all 52 Democrats and two independents to support the bill.

In a written statement, Obama coupled praise for the Senate’s action with a plea for resolve by supporters as the House works on the issue.

“Now is the time when opponents will try their hardest to pull this bipartisan effort apart so they can stop commonsense reform from becoming a reality. We cannot let that happen,” said the president, who was traveling in Africa.

After the bill passed, he called Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a leading author of the bill, to offer congratulations.

In the final hours of debate, members of the socalled Gang of 8, the group that drafted the measure, frequently spoke in personal terms while extolling the bill’s virtues, rebutting its critics – and appealing to the House members who turn comes next.

Park safety concerns linger Newcomers sometimes know things about a community that longtime residents don’t.

Not having heard stories from relatives and friends, newcomers are more likely to read travel brochures, websites, etc. to make the most of their visit. If they have relocated, they want to make the most of their new home.

There’s a lot that can be learned from such materials, but because they are promotional, they often omit undesirable characteristics – like if a particular site was the scene of a murder.

Last week, I reported on the dedication of a lovely park bench to honor Antinette “Toni” Keller, a Northern Illinois University student killed in DeKalb’s Prairie Park in 2010.

The bench sits on the DeKalb Elks Lodge property, adjacent to Prairie Park. The Elks felt so bad that such an awful crime happened in their “backyard” that the club raised money to pay for the bench.

The brief dedication was heartfelt and uplifting. However, anger about the park’s condition was evident.

Several said Prairie Park is a blight on DeKalb, and its condition was at least partially responsible for the circumstances which resulted in Keller’s death.

Specifically, the foliage is overgrown, visibility is poor, homeless people and criminals squat there in tents, and its proximity to the railroad allows transients easy access to the park.

Generally, the sentiment was that Prairie Park is a bad place to hang out, but the most serious criticism was that everybody who’s been here a while knows this and the deplorable condition of this park has persisted for years.

Jim Anderson, who owns Illini Tire

THE FINE LINE Jason Akst Co., was driving home Saturday when he saw the gathering and suspected what it was. I found it striking that this longtime resident/businessman advocated locals working with college students to know, “Where you can go … where you can’t go … and I know that’s difficult,” he said.

I also remembered one of my best former students saying a few years ago that he grew up near Prairie Park and that his parents forbade him to go near it.

At Saturday’s gathering, there was talk of creating a video about the park, circulating a petition, and demanding that city leaders take action.

As one person noted, the least that could be done is a substantial cutback of vegetation so visibility would be improved.

The park is owned and maintained by the DeKalb Park District, not the city. Park board President Phil Young said no one has complained to the board about the condition of the park.

“We welcome any input from the public about the park district and do take all inquiries seriously,” Philip Young, DeKalb Park District president, said in an email. “ ... To my knowledge, the board has not received any recent citizen complaints about Prairie Park.

I am aware of some overgrowth at some of the parks. We will be addressing this shortly through the formation of a new committee that will look into such items.”

According to the DeKalb Park District’s Outdoor Parks and Recreation

Open Space Master Plan, in 2011, almost 75 percent of survey respondents rated their satisfaction with DeKalb’s parks as good to excellent.

Also, according to the Open Space Master Plan, Prairie Park, at 102 acres, is technically a conservancy/open area, which the planning document defines as “characterized by the protection and management of the resource.

The resource can be either natural or cultural in nature, with recreation offerings as a secondary benefit.”

No one is arguing that parks are unsafe. Indeed, a study by the University of Illinois’ Human Environment Research Laboratory argues that well planned cities use parks to create safer neighborhoods.

“While law enforcement officials have historically recommended removing vegetation to eliminate cover for criminal activity, vegetation that maintains visibility actually fosters feelings of safety,” the study says.

However, the same study is quick to note that park maintenance (including its vegetation) is crucial.

“A well-maintained park or open space sends a message that someone cares about it. In turn, the message that someone cares about the park helps create a perception of safety. The greater the perception of safety, the more likely the park will be used. In addition, maintenance programs that include participation by the users help establish a sense of ownership and promote stewardship of the space.”

8 TODAY’S TALKER

Goodbye M&M’s, hello granola bars

By CONNIE CASS and MARY CLARE JALONICK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Kids, your days of blowing off those healthier school lunches and filling up on cookies from the vending machine are numbered.

The government is onto you.

For the first time, the Agriculture Department is telling schools what sorts of snacks they can sell. The new restrictions announced Thursday fill a gap in nutrition rules that allowed many students to load up on fat, sugar and salt despite the existing guidelines for healthy meals.

“Parents will no longer have to worry that their kids are using their lunch money to buy junk food and junk drinks at school,” said Margo Wootan, a nutrition lobbyist for the Center for Science in the Public Interest who pushed for the new rules.

That doesn’t mean schools will be limited to doling out broccoli and brussels sprouts.

Snacks that still make the grade include granola bars, low-fat tortilla chips, fruit cups and 100 percent fruit juice. And high school students can buy diet versions of soda, sports drinks and iced tea.

AP file photo

A student purchases a Pop-Tart from a vending machine in 2006 in the hallway outside of a school cafeteria, in Wichita, Kan. But say goodbye to some beloved school standbys, such as doughy pretzels, chocolate chip cookies and those little ice cream cups with their own spoons. Some may survive in low-fat or whole wheat versions. The idea is to weed out junk food and replace it with something with nutritional merit.

The bottom line, says Wootan: “There has to be some food in the food.”

Still, 17-year-old Vanessa Herrera is partial to the Cheez-It crackers and sugar-laden Vitaminwater in her high school’s vending machine. Granola bars and bags of peanuts? Not so much.

“I don’t think anyone would eat it,” said Herrera of Rockaway, N.J. There are no vending machines at Lauren Jones’ middle school in Hoover, Ala., but she said there’s an “a la carte” stand that sells chips, ice cream and other snacks.

“Having something sweet to go with your meal is good sometimes,” the 13-year-old said, although she also thinks that encouraging kids to eat healthier is worthwhile.

The federal snack rules don’t take effect until the 2014-15 school year, but there’s nothing to stop schools from making changes earlier.

Some students won’t notice much difference. Many schools already are working to improve their offerings.

Thirty-nine states have some sort of snack food policy in place.

Rachel Snyder, 17, said earlier this year her school in Washington, Ill., stripped its vending machines of sweets.

She misses the pretzel-filled M&M’s.

“If I want a sugary snack every now and then,” Snyder said, “I should be able to buy it.”

Friend: Trayvon Martin encounter racially charged

By KYLE HIGHTOWER and MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. – George Zimmerman’s defense attorney insisted during several testy exchanges with an important prosecution witness Thursday that Trayvon Martin injected race into a confrontation with the neighborhood watch volunteer and insinuated the young woman was not believable because of

inconsistencies in her story.

However, 19-year-old Rachel Jeantel stood firm in her testimony about the night Zimmerman shot the unarmed black 17-year-old after a fight that Jeantel said she overheard while on the phone with Martin. Jeantel has said Martin told her he was being followed by a “creepy ... cracker” – implying Martin was being followed by a white man because of his race.

Zimmerman identifies as

Hispanic. Race has permeated nationwide discussions of the case since the February 2012 shooting, which prompted nationwide protests and claims from critics that police took too long to arrest Zimmerman.

The neighborhood watch volunteer has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder and says he acted in self-defense.

Defense attorney Don West also zeroed in on slight differ-

ences among three different accounts of what happened before Martin’s killing, in an apparent effort to discredit her. Jeantel has described what she heard over the phone in a deposition; a letter to Martin’s mother; and an interview with the Martin family attorney. Among the differences highlighted by West: • In some accounts, she said race was an issue but not in others.

• Jeantel testified Wednes-

day that her friend’s last words were “Get off! Get off!” before Martin’s phone went silent. But on Thursday, under cross-examination, she conceded that she hadn’t mentioned that in her account of what happened to Martin’s mother, Sybrina Fulton. She had left out some details to spare Fulton’s feelings, and also because neither Fulton nor the Martin family attorney asked her directly about them, Jeantel said.

No bond reduction in fatal DUI case

By JILLIAN DUCHNOWSKI jduchnowski@shawmedia.com GENEVA – A 28-year-old Sycamore man accused of having opiates in his system during a crash that killed an 11-year-old and severely injured an 18-year-old remains in Kane County Jail after a judge declined to reduce his bond.

Kane County Judge James

Hallock declined to reduce Benjamin Black’s bond from $250,000 to $50,000 Wednesday. Hallock cited the penalties Black would face if convicted, his pending felony case in DeKalb County and the allegations that drugs were involved in the crash, defense attorney D.J. Tegeler said.

Black, of the 1500 block of Sparkhayes Drive, is

charged with aggravated driving under the influence in connection to the Feb. 27 crash that killed 11-yearold Matthew Ranken of Benjamin Sycamore and Black seriously injured Teale Noble, 18, of Sycamore.

Black was driving a Ford Expedition that smashed into the back of a Chevrolet Cavalier carrying the two, causing a crash that involved two other vehicles, police said.

Ranken and Noble were passengers in the vehicle, which was stopped in traffic along Route 64 in Kane County.

The charges were filed May 7, after authorities said lab results showed Black

had heroin metabolites in his system at the time of the crash. That typically means a person had recently consumed heroin, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they were feeling the effect of the drug at that particular time.

Tegeler emphasized Black’s SUV slid on ice before smashing into the car carrying Ranken and Noble.

Black got out of his vehicle

and tried to help others involved with the crash and then cooperated with police, Tegeler said.

The case is next due in Kane County court Aug. 9.

Black also is facing felony charges in DeKalb County. He is accused of stealing more than $4,000 of coiled copper and brass March 11 in Cortland. That case is next due in court Aug. 28.

Sycamore Park District Clearing the way is this year’s ‘Friend’ of pumpkin festival

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – This year’s friend of the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival will be no single person, but a whole park district.

The Sycamore Park District, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year, was chosen as this year’s “Friend of the Festival” by the Sycamore Pumpkin Festival Committee. Each year, the committee selects an individual, a business or an organization that has shown itself to be an outstanding force in the community and supporter of the festival.

Jerry Malmassari, president of the committee, said the park district was chosen because it assisted with different projects over the year and allowed the festival to use district resources such as golf carts and park property. They have also partnered with the committee during several festivities.

“They’ve been a participating group and we chose them to say ‘thank you’ for all their service,” Malmassari said.

Dan Gibble, park district executive director, said it is an honor for the district to be chosen because the people who work there believe in supporting events that help the community and

local businesses. He said this selection will have a positive effect on the district.

“I’ve only been here a little over a year and it made me really happy,” Gibble said. “I felt like that showed the [Sycamore Pumpkin Festival Committee] felt strongly about the park district’s contribution to the community.”

Denis Jagodzinski from American Family Insurance in Sycamore was chosen as the “Friend of the Festival” last year.

Malmassari said the festival will hold the same events it has held in the past. Some of them include the pumpkin check-ins, a treasure mart at Sycamore High School, craft shows and a pie-eating contest sponsored by Sycamore Kiwanis Club. There also will be musical acts for people to see, he said.

The park district will have a float in the festival parade, Gibble said. He said some of the board members will ride on the float. He also said the district is working behind the scenes on a unique entry for the parade.

“There’s one particular demonstration that we’re quietly and secretly working on,” Gibble said. “... We want it to be a relative surprise.”

Malmassari said the festival is planned to debut Oct. 23 and last through Oct. 27 in Sycamore.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., campaigns for re-election in 2008 at a Metra commuter train station in Berwyn. Lipinski says public transit agencies nationwide are being targeted with questionable lawsuits by “patent trolls” that are squeezing settlements out of financially strapped public entities unable to mount legal defenses. Lipinski says at least 20 public transit agencies, including the Chicago area’s Metra, have been targeted. nois, the state’s senior member on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

The Chicago-area Democrat wrote to FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez this week to urge her to follow through with an investigation that would determine the scope of such activity and identify which companies are the most prolific filers of such legal claims.

The claims against transit companies have largely challenged the use of GPS-based tracking systems that alert customers to bus and train arrival times at stations and online.

The transit industry association is challenging the validity of the patents cited in the claims, but says many agencies have no choice but to settle to avoid litigation costs that can reach $2 million to $3 million even if they’re

successful.

The names of only two companies filing claims have become public, but LaRusch believes there are many others – and many out-of-court settlements – that do not become known publicly because of confidentiality clauses in the deals.

The lawsuit his group filed Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan identifies the two companies as ArrivalStar S.A. in Luxembourg and its affiliate Melvino Technologies Ltd., an offshore firm in the British Virgin Islands.

Dowell Baker, a Lafayette, Ind., law firm that represents the two companies did not respond to a phone message seeking comment Thursday.

One of the law firm’s claim letters, sent to the Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority in

Ill., passed away Wednesday, June 26, 2013, at Presence Saint Joseph Hospital in Elgin.

She was born June 4, 1941, in DeKalb, the daughter of Earl and Olive (Charlesworth) Trumpour.

Sharon was united in marriage to Mr. William Lee Staten in 1959, and they spent 27 happy years of their lives together until his passing May 21, 1986. Mrs. Staten was a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister and aunt who will be deeply missed by her family and friends.

She is survived by her children, Ali Kooman of Mesa, Ariz., Kevin Lee (Margaret) Staten of Creston, Karl Lee (Bridget) Staten of Shabbona, Krista Lee Hammock of Mesa and Katrina Lee Staten of Casa Grande, Ariz.; six grandchildren;

one great-grandson; sister, Donna Krentz of Mendota; and several nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Earl and Olive Trumpour; husband, William Lee Staten; brother, Kelly; and sister, Carol.

Metra offers ticket deal for Stanley Cup celebration CHICAGO – Metra is offering a deal for Blackhawks fans who want to watch the Stanley Cup celebration today.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the commuter train line will charge only $5 for unlimited rides today. The offer is good for all riders today, whether they’re attending the festivities or not.

The special tickets won’t be sold at vending machines and riders are encouraged to buy the tickets in advance from ticket agents.

Because of the expected big crowds, people won’t be allowed to take bicycles on trains today. Nor will they be allowed to bring alcohol on trains, as is typically allowed.

By JASON KEYSER CHICAGO – Public transit agencies nationwide are being targeted with questionable lawsuits by so-called patent trolls squeezing settlements out of financially strapped public entities unable to mount legal defenses against claims they are infringing on intellectual property protections, industry representatives said Thursday.

Lawsuits or threats of legal action have been lodged against at least 23 transit providers in some of the nation’s largest cities, including New York, Boston and Chicago. Opponents say the claims are frivolous and are stifling innovation, draining resources and costing taxpayers millions.

“We are seeing this huge onslaught of patent lawsuits,” said James LaRusch, chief counsel for the nonprofit American Public Transportation Association, which has filed a federal lawsuit seeking to protect its hundreds of member agencies.

Critics of the practice deride the firms as “patent trolls” because they appear to do little genuine business or technology development beyond buying up patents and using them to demand licensing fees from other companies.

Known in technical jargon as patent assertion entities, they have also gone after private sector companies but are increasingly targeting public and governmental agencies, including utilities, cities, the U.S. Postal Service and now transit providers. The resulting settlements are draining already depleted public coffers.

That shift is alarming some in Congress, where several pending bills could help limit the damage from frivolous claims. The head of the Federal Trade Commission is seeking an investigation of such firms and their business practices.

“This type of litigation undercuts the purpose of the patent system and exploits the fact that public agencies are at a disadvantage in defending themselves,” said U.S. Rep. Daniel Lipinski of Illi-

“ArrivalStar has licensed its technology to over 180 companies,” the claim letter says. “Although many of these licenses were granted in settlement of patent infringement actions filed by ArrivalStar, many resulted from amicable business negotiations.”

LaRusch, of the American Public Transportation Association, disputed the assertion that the companies have developed any technology.

“They don’t develop anything.

They don’t produce anything.

Their reason for being appears to be simply to file claims against people who go out and create things,” he said.

SPRINGFIELD – One of the most famous Abraham Lincoln artifacts is going on public display in Springfield.

A copy of his Gettysburg Address written in Lincoln’s own hand became available for public viewing starting Thursday and will be through November at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum.

Lincoln gave his 272-word speech Nov. 19, 1863, at the dedication of the National Soldiers’ Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pa. A battle there four months before left more than 50,000 dead or wounded.

Lincoln wrote out five copies of the address. The version in Illinois is known as the “Edward Everett copy.” The scholar and politician also spoke at the dedication and Lincoln agreed to make him a copy.

Everett’s speech lasted two hours and was little remembered in posterity. Lincoln’s lasted two minutes.

Sheriff’s former secretary accuses him of harassment EDWARDSVILLE – A southwestern Illinois sheriff’s secretary was transferred to another job after she complained of a hostile working environment, alleging her boss harassed and tried to pursue a romantic relationship with her, though no criminal charges will be filed, the county’s top prosecutor confirmed Thursday.

The complaint levied against Madison County Sheriff Bob Hertz doesn’t involve allegations of criminal wrongdoing, said Tom Gibbons, the county’s state’s attorney. Gibbons said the county acted “nearly immediately” to address the woman’s grievances, transferring her to another job with the county.

Obama, African host clash on gay rights

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press DAKAR, Senegal – Laying bare a clash of cultures, President Barack Obama on Thursday urged African leaders to extend equal rights to gays and lesbians but was bluntly rebuked by Senegal’s president, who said his country “still isn’t ready” to decriminalize homosexuality.

Obama opened his weeklong trip to Africa one day after the U.S. Supreme Court expanded federal benefits for married gay couples. In his first in-person comments on the ruling, AP photo Obama said the court’s deciPresident Barack Obama and Senegalese President Macky Sall leave sion marked a “proud day for after a news conference Thursday at the Presidential Palace in Dakar, America.” He pressed for simiSenegal.

U.S. mortgage rates jump to 2-year high

By ALEX VEIGA and MARCY GORDON The Associated Press WASHINGTON – U.S. mortgage rates have suddenly jumped from near-record lows and are adding thousands of dollars to the cost of buying a home.

The average rate on the 30year fixed loan soared this week to 4.46 percent, according to a report Thursday from mortgage buyer Freddie Mac. That’s the highest average in two years and a full point more than a month ago.

The surge in mortgage rates follows the Federal Reserve’s signal that it could slow its bond purchases later this year. A pullback by the Fed would likely send long-term interest rates even higher.

In the short run, the spike in mortgage rates might be causing more people to consider buying a home soon. Rates are still low by historical standards, and would-be buyers would want to lock them in before they rise further.

But eventually, more expensive home loans could price some people out and slow the housing market’s momentum, which has helped drive the U.S. economy over the past year.

“People are getting off the fence a little bit more or choosing to buy now instead of choosing to buy three months from now,” said Anthony Geraci, a Cleveland real estate broker-owner who says he’s seeing more sales activity lately in his market.

Mortgage rates are rising because they tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note, a benchmark for most long-term interest rates. The 10-year yield began rising from

near-record lows in May after speculation grew that the Fed might be closer to reducing its bond purchases.

In early May, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage was 3.35 percent, just above the record low of 3.31 percent.

But rates began to surge – and stocks plunged – after Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke made more explicit comments last week about the Fed’s plans. He said the Fed would likely scale back its bond buying later this year and end it next year if the economy continued to strengthen.

The rate on a 30-year loan soared from 3.93 percent last week to 4.46 percent this week – the biggest one-week jump in 26 years.

The effect on buyers’ wallets in just the past two months is striking.

A buyer who locked in a 3.35 percent rate in early May on a $200,000 mortgage would pay $881 a month, according to Bankrate.com. The same mortgage at a 4.46 percent rate would run $1,008 a month.

The difference: $127 more a month, or $45,720 over the lifetime of the loan. Those figures don’t include taxes, insurance or initial down payments.

Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia, a real estate data analysis firm, thinks many wouldbe buyers will start to take note.

“Some buyers will reconsider jumping into the market; others will speed up their [home] purchases before rates go higher,” Kolko said.

The rate hike comes at a critical time. Low mortgage rates have helped fuel a housing recovery that has kept the economy growing modestly despite higher taxes and steep federal spending cuts.

in a region where dozens of countries outlaw homosexuality and a few punish violations with death.

“When it comes to how the state treats people, how the law treats people, I believe that everybody has to be treated equally,” Obama said during a news conference with Senegalese President Macky Sall at the grand presidential palace in Dakar.

But Sall gave no ground.

Senegal is “very tolerant,” he assured Obama, but is “still not ready to decriminalize homosexuality.” Sall said countries make decisions on complex issues in their own time, noting that Senegal has outlawed capital punishment while other countries have not – a pointed jab at the U.S., where the death

penalty is legal in many states.

Obama’s trip, which also includes stops in South Africa and Tanzania, marks the most extensive visit to Africa by the first black U.S. president since he took office. Many Africans have expressed disappointment over Obama’s lack of direct engagement with affairs on their continent – particularly given that his father was Kenyan and he has many relatives living in Africa – yet he was still enthusiastically welcomed.

Thousands of people gathered on the roadways near the presidential palace as Obama’s motorcade sped through the coastal city, many in the crowds wearing white to symbolize peace. Some waved homemade signs welcoming

Obama, while those gathered near the palace entrance sang and played drums, the rhythmic beats audible from inside the gates.

At Goree Island, the former slave trading post Obama visited later Thursday, local residents waited under scorching sun for hours to catch a glimpse of the president. They sang a song about his return to his ancestral homeland and broke into jubilant cheers as Obama and first lady Michelle Obama walked over to shake hands.

Looming over the festive atmosphere were concerns over former South African leader Nelson Mandela. Obama is due to arrive in South Africa on Friday, though Mandela’s precarious condition adds some uncertainty to the agenda.

Huskies are not lowering expectations

8LETTERS TO THE EDITOR now be not compensated with State employees not to blame for pension problems our own money.

To the Editor: The opinion from Scott Reeder in Springfield (“Working for state pays well for some,” page A5, June 26) was misleading to say the least.

In it, he cherry-picked numbers and continued to blame state employees for pension woes.

The State of Illinois continually neglected to put their share into pension funds, and then to add insult to injury, “borrowed money” out of the money paid into the pensions by state employees.

For those who don’t know, we, (yes, I was employed by the state, and do receive a pension) paid a higher percentage into the system than our counterparts paid into social security.

After working in the system for 20-plus years, retirees are being told that we created the state’s financial problems, and should

What does it mean that our pensions are being paid on the backs of taxpayers? I and my entire family are taxpayers! We have served the state, but are being vilified for the loyalty to our places of employment. We essentially forfeit whatever we paid into social security in our previous employment by working for the state.

Getting into finer points of the op-ed piece: Where are the state barbers employed? It would probably be in Springfield, where the “elected” officials have many amenities; I certainly never ran across a barber in NIU’s employed force!

I agree with the woman who posted an online comment about this article. It does take a lot of nerve for the Chronicle to thumb their nose at the county’s largest employee base. She said it more diplomatically ... she used the word credit, but I think it doesn’t

benefit anyone to dismiss a whole group of people who technically support your business.

I have subscribed to the Chronicle for years; don’t always agree with current and changing publishers, but think there should be some thought given to what is being said about many of the Chronicle subscribers, and fairly present issues.

Loss of religion among leaders troubling To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article, “Americans losing their religious leaders,” by Bill O’Reilly, printed in the Saturday/Sunday June 22-23 edition.

First let me say I enjoyed the article. I found it well written and informative.

I also found it quite sadly true to a point. It is very sad when a

state’s official (in this case Gov. Rick Perry of Texas) feels he/ she must sign a law that “allows anyone to say the greeting “merry Christmas.”

O’Reilly continues by giving examples of how Americans are “losing their religious leaders.” He honestly gives the example from the Roman Catholic Church and the “priest scandals.”

This too is very sad. But the reality is, these types of “scandals” probably occur in many of types of churches as well.

What, you may ask, is my point?

My point is that the main problem is not that Americans are “losing their religious leaders.” It’s that the leaders of America may not have relationships with Jesus Christ. There is a significant difference between being “religious” and having a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Court’s decisions uncover supreme conflicts Like most families, my brood is a complex configuration of souls, so I greeted this week’s flurry of Supreme Court decisions with a conflicted heart.

This is true for most anyone who paid attention to the court rulings, I imagine.

This latest round reflects parts of our culture we either want to embrace or want to reject. No middle ground here. It’s all peaks and valleys, the perfect graphic to illustrate our country’s divisions these days.

Initially, I was overjoyed to hear that the court had struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act -- a ridiculously named law that did nothing but harm to innocent people and their families for 17 years. Finally, the U.S. government must recognize the legal marriages of same-sex couples, and the earth didn’t tremble, not even a little bit.

Immediately, my mind was flooded with the faces of so many gay men and women who populate our daily lives – good people, crazy loyal and with a patience no one has the right to ask of them.

My mood was quickly tempered by the wake-up jolt of reality. Thirty-nine states still treat their gay citizens like modern-day lepers, passing bills and referendums as redundant as they are hateful. The DOMA decision does nothing to stop states from continuing to discriminate against men and women whose only crime is to be different from the people who fear them for reasons they can’t explain, even to themselves.

A lot of people who oppose marriage equality like to blame God for their bigotry.

In my version of heaven, I get to watch them try to explain themselves.

Meanwhile, down here on earth, every time I hear someone talk about how God hates homosexuality -- that whole “love the sinner, hate the sin” malarkey -- I think

VIEWS Connie Schultz of my late mother, whose faith survived countless trials in her 62 years.

“Being a Christian means fixing yourself and helping others,” she used to say, “not the other way around.” That’s a lifetime of work summed up right there.

Nine years ago, my husband and I were married by a minister who still cannot wed her longtime partner simply because they live in Ohio instead of Massachusetts, say, or any other state in New England where same-sex marriage is legal.

To this day, friends and family who attended our wedding want to talk about how moved they were by Pastor Kate’s sermon at our service. To this minute, Pastor Kate cannot legally claim Jackie – beloved to all of us – as her spouse, even as she works for the United Church of Christ every single day.

God’s will, you understand.

Uh-huh.

Also this week, the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act by ruling that Section 4 of the 1965 law is now unconstitutional. This particular section provides a formula to determine which jurisdictions are subject to federal government clearance before they can change their voting laws.

Historically, the voters targeted by these attempts to reduce their numbers are people of color. Also historically, Republicans are behind these changes, but they pinkie swear that it has nothing to do with how few people of color vote for them.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve written about these Republican stunts to suppress the vote. I can’t think of anything

more patriotic than helping every eligible voter cast a ballot.

As I age, however, and our children grow up and marry, my patriotic fervor has become to-the-bone personal.

Our 5-year-old grandson bears his mother’s family name, which is Puerto Rican.

Our future son-in-law emigrated with his family from El Salvador when he was a child. Republicans are not, shall we say, big fans.

As Columbia University professor Rodolfo O. de la Garza explained in an oped in February for The New York Times, America’s Latinos are increasingly the new Republican target for all things sinister.

“The nation does not acknowledge the discrimination Latinos have undergone,” he wrote. “Today, many public officials from states across the nation seem to feel free to treat Latinos as unwelcome newcomers and view Latino voters with suspicion. Republicans are especially leery of Latino voters who are perceived to be noncitizens or, even worse, Democrats.

“Without the law’s threat of federal intervention, I fear that the promise of Latino political equality will stagnate.”

That’s my family he’s talking about.

Fortunately, by 2043, that will be most American families in this country, as the U.S. Census Bureau estimates that that’s the year the white majority will be history.

This white granny’s going to eat a really healthful diet between now and then because I want to live to see that day.

Last season will be difficult to top for the Northern Illinois University football team.

The 2012 season brought the school its second consecutive Mid-American Conference title, its first BCS Bowl berth, a winning streak at Huskie Stadium that now stands at 21 games, and a top-25 finish in two national polls, all bests for the program.

Rather than rest on their laurels, it appears that NIU’s sports marketing department is shooting high again this year. This week, the Huskies launched a campaign to make senior quarterback Jordan Lynch a candidate for the Heisman trophy.

There’s a web page, JordanLynchFor6.com, a Facebook page by the same name and a Twitter account called @LynchFor6 dedicated to promoting the exploits of one of the most talented quarterbacks ever to don the cardinal and black.

Lynch probably is a longshot to win college football’s most prestigious individual honor, considering the teams on the Huskies schedule and the fact that they do not receive the national exposure of powerhouse programs in conferences such as the SEC or Big Ten. But the fact that the Huskies already are putting their man out there with the season opener at Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium more than two months away is a good sign.

It shows that NIU is not content just to have danced on the big stage last season. Rather, it appears the Orange Bowl berth is being taken as proof that the opportunities available to power-conference programs are within the Huskies’ grasp as well.

Lynch does have a lot of impressive numbers from last season on his side. A few: • With 3,138 passing and 1,815 rushing yards in 2012, Lynch became the first player in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision to pass for more than 3,000 yards and run for more than 1,500 yards in a single season.

• He set an NIU record for total offense in a single game with 569 yards, which ranked as the seventh-highest FBS total in 2012, in a 31-24 win over Toledo.

• Lynch’s 44 TDs last season were more than 50 FBS teams scored.

Then-coach Dave Doeren said last season that Lynch’s stellar play should have made him a contender for the Heisman. If Lynch has a similar season this year – or plays even better – who knows what new “firsts” could be in store for NIU’s football team and its fans.

No matter the outcome, it is good to see NIU thinking big and doing all it can to put its best player in the national spotlight. Good luck to Lynch and his Huskies coaches and teammates this fall.

Insincere promises of ‘temporary’ tax hikes It should surprise no one that the promise made in 2011 of a “temporary” tax hike needed to get Illinois out of the deep well of fiscal muck was given with the sincerity of Snidely Whiplash.

“We have some temporary tax increases that are designed to pay our bills, get Illinois back on fiscal sound footing and make sure that our state has a strong economy,” Gov. Pat Quinn said, his fingers probably tightly crossed behind his back.

It was a midnight move by mostly lame duck Democrats the pushed the personal income tax up 67 percent – up to 5 percent – and business taxes up to 7 percent.

The tax is supposed to drop, technically known as sunset, to 3.75 percent for individuals and 5.25 percent for business, in 2015.

Good luck with that.

As most anyone outside of Springfield or Chicago (the state capital light) knows, the problem with the state budget does not lie in the amount of money coming in. It has always been a spending problem.

The temporary tax has meant almost $7 billion in additional revenue for the state.

But an analysis by the Illinois Policy Institute discovered how useless promises about the “temporary” tax really are. It determined that, despite pledges the additional revenue would be used to help ease the fiscal nightmare, just 20 cents of every new dollar raised went to that purpose. The remaining 80 cents of every dollar went into pension debt.

Meanwhile, the General Assembly has approved $35.4 billion in spending for the coming fiscal year, which is $2 billion more than the previous year.

That comes despite there remaining a backlog of unpaid bills, despite valuable programs still being sliced and despite there being no real expectation of a solution to the crisis of unfunded pension liability, which adds about $17 million to the money pit every ... single ... day.

The discussion has already started about integrating the tax as a permanent feature. One of those pushing the measure is Senate President John Cullerton, who just a few short years ago vowed “we’re going to have to spend less money than we have in the last two years. And it’s going to be tough. But we are going to have our bills paid.”

Or perhaps not.

Now Cullerton is bemoaning how legislators are going to deal with the revenue that would be lost without making the tax permanent.

That’s the growing problem with promises coming out of Springfield: Knowing whether to believe them.

Israeli leader signals readiness to compromise

By JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister, known for his rigid negotiating positions, has been sending signals that he is ready for significant compromises in a peace deal with the Palestinians – and that he accepts the narrative increasingly favored by his opponents that says ending the West Bank occupation is essential for Israel itself.

While some of Benjamin Netanyahu’s political allies say he is serious, the Palestinians remain skeptical. This week’s visit by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry could show which way things can go.

In recent speeches, Netanyahu has stressed the importance of reaching a peace deal, saying it is essential to ensuring Israel’s long-term survival.

On Thursday, he made reference to Israel’s nightmare scenario in which the peace process breaks down, Palestinians drop their pursuit of an independent state and instead demand equal rights in a single, binational state compromising today’s Israel plus the West Bank and Gaza. Most experts believe that given the high Palestinian birthrate, such an Israel could not long survive as a country that is both demo-

cratic and somehow Jewish in character.

“It’s correct. We do not want a binational state,” Netanyahu said at a memorial ceremony for the Zionist visionary Theodor Herzl.

On the front page of the Haaretz daily, an anonymous Cabinet minister in Netanyahu’s Likud Party was quoted as saying Thursday that Netanyahu is prepared to withdraw from most of the West Bank and evacuate numerous Jewish settlement as part of a peace deal. The story became the focus of much discussion in Israel, widely taken as a trial balloon and an attempt to signal seriousness by the government.

Another Cabinet minister, Yaakov Peri, told the Army Radio station that Netanyahu “knows he will have to carry out a painful evacuation of a number of settlements” as part of any deal.

Netanyahu recently told the Washington Post that if Kerry were to pitch a tent to hold peace talks with the Palestinians, he would “stay in the tent and negotiate for as long as it takes to work out a solution of peace and security.”

Such pronouncements were once unthinkable for Netanyahu, who for years was the leader of Israel’s nationalist camp

Kerry is in Israel for the fifth time in three months, to make further efforts to resume peace talks between the Jewish country and the Palestinians. and an opponent of Palestinian independence.

That began to change after Netanyahu was elected four years ago and for the first time endorsed the idea of a Palestinian state.

Even so, peace efforts failed to get off the ground, in large part because of Palestinian suspicions toward Netanyahu.

The Palestinians have called on Netanyahu to freeze all Jewish settlement in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war that the Palestinians claim for their future state along with the Gaza Strip, which Israel also occupied but pulled out of in 2005. More than 500,000 Israelis now live in such

Jewish settlements, making it increasingly difficult to divide the land into two states.

The Palestinians also say Netanyahu should accept Israel’s pre-1967 boundaries as the basis for a final border, with slight modifications worked out in negotiations. Previous Israeli leaders accepted the 1967 borders as a basis for talks.

Netanyahu has refused the Palestinian demands, saying talks should begin without any preconditions.

On Thursday, Israel’s outgoing central bank chief, Stanley Fischer, lamented that Israel could have “done more efforts to reach an agreement” with the Palestinians. It was a rare political pronouncement by the internationally respected economist.

Given Netanyahu’s refusal to spell out his vision for a final peace deal in any detail, and his past hardline policies and views , the Palestinians remain deeply suspicious.

They note the hundreds of housing starts on occupied land already this year, with thousands more in the pipeline – including 69 homes that received final permission for construction in an area of east Jerusalem this week.

“Israel has a selected repertoire awaiting U.S. officials ... which includes settlements, settlements and more settlements,” the chief Palestinian negotiator, Saeb Erekat, said Thursday. “The international community should understand that in order to create the right environment for negotiations it should not grant impunity to Israel over its repeated crimes and violations.”

Feed’em Soup faces challenge in paying full rent James Gandolfini: • SOUP Continued from page A1 “Outside it looks like a little dive kitchen,” Gade said.

“Once you walk in, you feel like you’re walking into a four-star restaurant.”

While Feed’em Soup has sustained its operations and increased meal services, it faces several challenges this year. Initially, Feed’em Soup shared rent and space with the Church of DeKalb. It paid a quarter of the $3,200 monthly rent. Now it is paying the full rent after the church moved to 425 Fisk Ave. in April.

Feed’em Soup has a budget of about $140,000 this year. About $20,000 comes from grants, almost $30,000 comes from donations and $90,000 comes from fundraisers and sponsorships, Executive Director Derek Gibbs said. Cuts have been made to the budget to preserve their dinner services, he said. For example, a shuttle service that transported food and people now transports only food, he said.

The church’s move has been a blessing and a curse, he said.

Although overhead costs increased significantly, “It’s allowed us to redecorate and

Another challenge the organization faces is adding another meal service either by the end of the year or early in 2014. The goal for the years ahead is to increase service to five meals a week, Gibbs said.

While Feed’em Soup has supported itself through fundraisers and partnerships with local businesses, nonprofit organizations and churches, it is still looking for more people who can make any donation to attend to meal services.

“There are plenty of people out there who still haven’t

heard of us,” Gibbs said. “And really, our goal is to break down that stigma of a soup kitchen.”

Feed’em Soup continues to support itself in other ways, such as renting space for functions such as dance classes and birthday parties.

It also plans to allow educational programs to rent space in the building.

Even though Feed’em Soup is struggling to cover the cost of rent and utilities, it has never had trouble finding volunteers. Every year Feed’em Soup welcomes about 500 volunteers, and it is booked several months in

advance for work, Gibbs said.

The volunteers range in age from young adults to senior citizens.

“Our volunteer base is huge,” Gibbs said. “It’s almost immeasurable.”

Feed’em Soup plans to hold more fundraisers, joint fundraisers and dinners in the future. The next dinner is set for 6:30 p.m. July 13. It also plans to revamp its Lexi’s Kids Corner program to teach children healthy eating.

“It’s going to lower obesity rates and make them happier and healthier people as adults,” Gibbs said. “And that is how I think we can impact things long term.”

Keyon Johnson, a DeKalb Huntley Middle School student, and his grandmother, Sylvia Upperdite, have eaten at Feed’em Soup for four years. The one thing that keeps them coming back is the atmosphere. The staff always has a smile on their face and their service makes them feel special. They are treated like paying customers even though they are not, Upperdite said.

“Some people will be on their last dime,” Johnson said. “When they come in here, they are loved and they feel like coming back.”

Menendez: Do the right thing for America and your party • BILL Continued from page A1 “Do the right thing for America and for your party,” said Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who said his mother emigrated to the United States from Cuba. “Find common ground. Lean away from the extremes. Opt for reason and govern with us.”

Arizona Republican Sen. Jeff Flake said those seeking legal status after living in the United States illegally must “pass a background check, make good on any tax liability and pay a fee and a fine.” There are other requirements before citizenship can be obtained, he noted.

He, too, spoke from personal experience, recalling time he spent as a youth working alongside family members and “undocumented migrant labor, largely from Mexico, who worked harder than we did under conditions much more difficult than we endured.”

Since then, he said, “I have harbored a feeling of admiration and respect for those who have come to risk life and limb and sacrifice so much to provide a better life for themselves and their families.”

The bill’s opponents were unrelenting, if outnumbered.

“We will admit dramatically more people than we ever have in our country’s history at a time when unemployment is high and the Congressional

Budget Office has told us that average wages will go down for 12 years, that gross national product per capita will decline for 25-plus years, that unemployment will go up,” said Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala. “The amnesty will occur, but the enforcement is not going to occur, and the policies for future immigration are not serving the national interest.”

In the Senate, at least, the developments marked an end to years of gridlock on immigration. The shift began taking shape quickly after the 2012 presidential election, when numerous Republican leaders concluded the party must show a more welcoming face to Hispanic voters who had given Obama more than 70 percent of

their support.

Even so, division among Republicans was evident as potential 2016 presidential contenders split. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida was one of the Gang of 8, while Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Ted Cruz of Texas were opposed to the bill.

The legislation’s chief provisions includes numerous steps to prevent future illegal immigration – some added in a late compromise that swelled Republican support for the bill – and to check on the legal status of job applicants already living in the United States.

At the same time, it offers a 13-year path to citizenship to as many as 11 million immigrants now living in the country unlawfully.

• DUI Continued from page A1 DeKalb Police Chief Gene Lowery credited the increase in his department with a new emphasis on proactive policing,

Wilkens each had 40, and officer Kris Mecca had 47.

“They have done more with less for longer than they should have,” Lowery said. “They do an excellent job for the community.”

By FRAZIER MOORE The Associated Press NEW YORK – The funeral of James Gandolfini took place in one of the largest churches in the world and didn’t stint on ceremony.

Still, the estimated 1,500 mourners who gathered Thursday in New York’s Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine seemed part of an intimate affair. They came to pay their respects to a plain but complex man whose sudden death eight days before had left all of them feeling a loss.

During the service, Gandolfini was remembered by the creator of “The Sopranos” as an actor who had brought a key element to mob boss Tony Soprano: Tony’s inner childlike quality.

For a man who, in so many ways, was an unrepentant brute, that underlying purity was what gave viewers permission to love him.

“You brought ALL of that to it,” said David Chase in remarks he delivered as if an open letter to his fallen friend and “Sopranos” star.

Even though Gandolfini was indisputably a formidable man both on and off the screen, Chase also saw him as a boy – “sad, amazed, confused

and loving,” he summed up, addressing his subject: “You could see it in your eyes. And that’s why you are a great actor.”

Susan Aston, who for decades was Gandolfini’s dialogue coach and collaborator, spoke of how he wrestled to find truth in his performances.

“He worked hard,” she said. “He was disciplined.

He studied his roles and did his homework.” But then, when the cameras rolled, his performance took over and, “through an act of faith, he allowed himself to go to an uncharted place. ... He remained vulnerable, and kept his heart open in his life and in his work.”

The 51-year-old actor died of a heart attack last week while vacationing with his 13-year-old son in Italy. It was cruel end to a holiday meant to be part of a summer that Gandolfini was devoting to his family – including his son and his 9-month-old daughter – by even turning down a movie role, according to Aston, citing what she said was her final conversation with him.

Aston said he told her “I don’t want to lose any of the time I have with Michael and Lily this summer.”

BLACKHAWKS: STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

None tougher than Shaw AP file photo

AP source: Nets, Celtics talk Pierce-Garnett deal NEW YORK – The Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics are discussing a deal that would bring Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Brooklyn, a person with knowledge of the talks said Thursday.

On the day they hosted the NBA draft, the Nets were making much bigger noise with a potential transaction that would send the two perennial All-Stars to a new Atlantic Division home.

Yahoo Sports, which first reported the talks, said the Nets also would get veteran Jason Terry from the Celtics while sending Gerald Wallace, Tornike Shengelia, the expiring contract of Kris Humphries and three future first-round picks to Boston.

The person confirmed the talks to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the details were to remain private.

The deal would complete the breakup of the core that led Boston to an NBA championship and within a victory of another. The Celtics already let Doc Rivers leave after acquiring a draft pick from the Los Angeles Clippers.

Garnett would have to waive a no-trade clause, which he has been reluctant to do previously. But the Nets hope he would consider this time with Pierce joining him and the Celtics’ best days seemingly behind them.

Andrew Shaw hoists the Stanley Cup after the Blackhawks beat the Boston Bruins, 3-2, in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday night in Boston.

CHICAGO – Andrew Shaw has had a tough time getting to sleep since the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup four days ago at Boston’s TD Garden.

It’s not so much excitement or adrenaline that is keeping Shaw awake until the wee hours of the morning. It’s a broken rib and a purple, stitched-up face that appears to be hiding a golf ball somewhere beneath his right temple.

“It’s hard to sleep on my stomach because of my face,” Shaw said with a half-grimace, half-grin Thursday at the United Center. “But it’s hard to sleep on my back because of my ribs.”

Parade info

VIEWS Tom Musick It’s hard not to admire Shaw as the epitome of hockey tough.

“I don’t know how he does it,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

“But he doesn’t stop.”

The Hawks will parade through the streets of the city today with a couple of million of their closest friends. They will board trolleys at the United Center and follow Washington Street toward the lakefront, where they’ll celebrate with a rally at Grant Park’s Hutchinson Field.

The Stanley Cup champions will board trolleys around 10:30 a.m. today at the United Center and follow Washington Street toward the lakefront, where they’ll celebrate with a ralley at Grant Park’s Hutchinson Field.

Every Hawks player will receive rousing ovations. Every Hawks player will count their lucky stitches that they are able to play in a city that supports its teams with such passion.

Sycamore middle linebacker Brett Weaver (4) reacts after sacking Yorkville quarterback Jake Anton (right) on Oct. 19 in Sycamore. Weaver will team up with outside linebackers Jack Dargis and Logan Schneider to make up the Spartans’ linebacking corps on a defense that returns nine players from last year’s team. The trio likely will be a strength for the defense with all three being returning starters.

Solid in the middle Spartans returning trio of starters in linebacking corps

By STEVE NITZ snitz@shawmedia.com AURORA – To Sycamore football coach Joe Ryan, one thing really stands out with each of his returning linebackers.

There’s junior Brett Weaver, who Ryan describes as the physical player on the inside. On the outside, the Spartans will have senior Jack Dargis, the leader of the group, with fellow senior Logan Schneider, a player Dargis calls possibly

the fastest linebacker in the Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference.

Sycamore (7-4 in 2012) loses only two starters from its defense – defensive tackles Jake Davis and John Beaudoin – and the linebacking corps certainly figures to be a strength with all three starters back.

“They work really well together,” Ryan said before the Spartans’ 7-on7 competition at Aurora Christian on Wednesday evening. “They kind of play off each other’s strengths, and play off each other’s weaknesses, too.”

Defending the pass is something that can be tough to grasp for high school linebackers, who are used to stopping run after run after run. However, with Kaneland and Lincoln-Way West on Sycamore’s schedule, being able to handle an opponent’s passing game is a must.

It’s something where having speedy linebackers is certainly a plus.

“I think the thing that really sets us apart from the linebackers in our conference and the teams we play is our speed.

A lot of the linebackers we play are big, bulky kids, and they can’t really move that well,” Dargis said. “I think one of the strengths is we’re all pretty fast and we’re really athletic, so that really helps our defense, and we have a lot of people returning.”

In 7-on-7 events such as Aurora Christian’s, Ryan said the Spartans work on where they’re going to be in pass coverage and getting into their drop zones.

“It’s good to do it here,” Ryan said. “If they get beat here, it’s not going to cost us a win. It’s a good teaching point.”

Landon Root couldn’t hardly wait to give his verbal commitment to Northern Illinois.

The senior quarterback out of Wichita (Kan.) Collegiate High School went to two of NIU’s camps this month. He liked the team, the campus, the coaches and the facilities. After the school’s “Friday Night Lights” camp June 14, NIU offered Root a scholarship.

Two days later, he had a talk with his parents and the decison didn’t take long. He gave his commitment later that day.

“I went up there for my first camp and I thought I did pretty well,” Root told the Daily Chronicle. “It’s just a great place, I liked it. Good football team. I’m really excited. “... It’s just a great environment and the coaches are awesome. I’m just looking to build on that success.”

Rivals.com rates Root as a three-star quarterback, and the 19th-ranked dual-threat QB in the Class of 2014. As a junior last season, Root (6-foot3, 202 pounds) threw for 1,601 yards and 18 touchdowns with only five interceptions. He ran for another 582 yards and 11 touchdowns.

At Collegiate, Root said the team runs the same type of read-option offense the Huskies do.

NBA DRAFT: BULLS

Bulls pick New Mexico’s Snell at No. 20 Guard considered a top-notch shooter

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press DEERFIELD – The Bulls selected New Mexico’s Tony Snell with the 20th pick in the NBA draft Thursday, adding help on the perimeter.

The Bulls decided to go with a wing player rather than a big man and grabbed a 6-foot-7 guard who is considered a top-notch shooter.

Snell converted 39 percent of his 3-pointers while averaging 12.5 points as a junior for the Lobos last season and helps fill a big need on the out-

side for the Bulls. He is considered a solid defender who can guard multiple positions, which had to please coach Tom Thibodeau.

The Bulls also held the 49th pick Thursday night.

Snell joins a team eyeing a return to contention in the Eastern Conference with star Derrick Rose poised to return from his knee injury. The former MVP sat out last season after having surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee.

How effective he’ll be at least at the start remains to be seen. But Rose’s return makes the Bulls far more compelling after a 45-win season in which they were in more of a holding pattern, waiting for the return of a superstar that never happened.

Just about every other key player got banged up at some point, and the ailments continued to add up in the postseason. Even so, the Bulls still managed to knock out Brooklyn in the first round before bowing to eventual champion Miami in five games.

There were a number of ways the Bulls could have gone in the draft,, given their need for another big man to support Joakim Noah and their issues on the perimeter. The Bulls ranked 21st in 3-point accuracy, and there’s a chance Marco Belinelli could land a bigger role with another team and leave as a free agent, so the Bulls went with Snell.

Ex-Patriot Hernandez denied bail in murder case FALL RIVER, Mass. – Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez, charged with murder for what prosecutors say was the execution-style killing of a friend near his house, was denied bail Thursday.

Hernandez’s lawyer argued that his celebrity status means even if he wanted to flee he couldn’t and that the case against him is circumstantial.

But Bristol County Assistant District Attorney Bill McCauley called the evidence in the June 17 slaying of Odin Lloyd overwhelming and said police had made discoveries Wednesday when they searched a condo Hernandez leased and a Hummer registered to him that was parked there.

Stern basks in the boos during NBA draft NEW YORK – The boos didn’t bother David Stern one bit.

The outgoing NBA commissioner was booed and jeered at the Barclays Center every time he took the stage at his last NBA draft – and he seemed to bask in it.

Several times Stern smirked and paused to let the booing last a little longer, and he even egged the crowd on with subtle hand gestures that seemed to say, ‘Bring it on.’

Stern is retiring in February.

Steel, Bootsma set U.S. Open records INDIANAPOLIS – Kevin Steel broke the U.S. Open record he set in the preliminaries in the 50-meter breaststroke with a time of 27.26 seconds, and Rachel Bootsma won the 50 backstroke in 27.68 to set U.S. Open and American records.

Steel and Bootsma prevented 11-time Olympian Ryan Lochte and four-time gold medalist Missy Franklin from taking all four events they swam in the finals.

Lochte and Franklin each already had qualified in three events for the world championships entering the day.

Two Nebraska football players kicked off team OMAHA, Neb. – Nebraska freshman defensive end Ernest Suttles has been kicked off the team after being ticketed for misdemeanor assault for allegedly striking linebacker David Santos in the head with a bottle at a party last week.

Coach Bo Pelini announced the dismissals of Suttles and linebacker Thomas Brown on Thursday night. Pelini did not give a reason in a statement released by the athletic department. Lincoln Police Capt. Danny Reitan said there was no record of Brown being connected to the alleged assault.

MLB

Garza strikes out 10 in victory

By JOE DiGIOVANNI The Associated Press MILWAUKEE – Matt Garza knows all about the trade speculation. It certainly didn’t distract him Thursday against the Brewers.

The right-hander struck out 10 in seven innings and Dioner Navarro hit a three-run homer, sending the Cubs to a 7-2 victory over Milwaukee.

BLACKHAWKS NOTES

NBA DRAFT

Hawks’ Hossa long way from healthy

Bennett No. 1 pick

by Cavs

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Marian Hossa has two options heading into the offseason.

Option No. 1: Back Surgery. Option No. 2: Shots, but no back surgery.

The Blackhawks’ star 34-year-old forward spoke openly about his injuries Thursday as he and his teammates cleaned out their lockers at the United Center after a dramatic Stanley Cup championship against the Boston Bruins. Hossa met privately with team doctors to discuss his options after meeting with members of the media.

Hossa said he was injured toward the end of Game 2 against the Bruins. The Slovakia native missed Game 3 and was criticized by former Hawks forward Tony Amonte, but he returned for Games 4, 5 and 6 as the Hawks won the series.

Hossa said he had no doubt that his injury limited him against the Bruins. He tallied 31 points (17 G, 14 A) in 40 games during the regular season and 16 points (7 G, 9 A) in 22 playoff games, but he failed to score against the Bruins.

“I don’t know if I was too effective,” Hossa said. “I was just limping on the ice.

“To tell you the truth, I didn’t have as much confidence because everybody around me was much faster.

As soon as you get the puck, I wasn’t too confident to do things I usually am able to do. That kind of frustrated me during those games, but the coaches told me to just play your game defensively and that’s going to help us.”

At no point did Hossa feel as if he was putting his career in jeopardy by playing.

NEW YORK – Anthony Bennett became the first Canadian No. 1 overall pick, and Nerlens Noel tumbled out of the top five and right into a trade in a surprising start to an unsettled NBA draft.

One of the favorites to be taken first Thursday night, Noel fell to No. 6, where the New Orleans Pelicans took him and then dealt his rights to the Philadelphia 76ers for a package headlined by All-Star guard Jrue Holiday, according to a person familiar with the details.

The Cleveland Cavaliers started things by passing on centers Noel and Alex Len, who went to Anthony Phoenix at No. 5, Bennett in favor of Bennett, the UNLV freshman forward who starred for Canada’s junior national teams and was the Mountain West Conference freshman of the year.

“I’m just as surprised as anyone else,” Bennett said.

There was suspense right until the end, either because the Cavs were unsure who they wanted or were trying to trade the pick. Most predictions had them taking one of the big men, with Noel largely considered the favorite for the No. 1 choice even after a torn ACL that ended his lone season at Kentucky in February.

“I thought everything was in the air, so I wasn’t thinking I was the No. 1 pick,” Noel said.

David Stern, booed heavily in his final draft as commissioner, added to the surprise of the moment by pausing slightly before announcing the Cavs’ pick, their first at No. 1 since taking All-Star Kyrie Irving in 2011.

Orlando passed on both of the big men, too, going with Indiana swingman Victor Oladipo with the No. 2 pick. Washington took Otto Porter Jr. with the third pick, keeping the Georgetown star in town.

Ten years after the Cavaliers selected LeBron James to start a draft that included future NBA championship teammates Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh in the top five, this one lacked star power and perhaps even the promise of stardom.

Bennett, Noel and Len all are coming off injuries and couldn’t even work out for teams, but the Cavs decided Bennett’s shoulder surgery wasn’t enough cause for concern.

Len walked up to meet Stern and collect his orange Suns hat, then sat down near the stage to put on the walking boot he needs for the stress fracture of his left ankle that was discovered after Maryland’s season.

Noel finally went to New Orleans with the next pick. He didn’t seem upset at his fall down the draft board, hugging his mother and shaking hands with Kentucky coach John Calipari.

It was a good start to the night for the Hoosiers, with Cody Zeller going to the Charlotte Bobcats two places after Oladipo.

Kansas guard Ben McLemore, another player who was considered a potential top-three pick, also dropped, going seventh to Sacramento.

Blackhawks right wing Marian Hossa (81) looks for a pass as Boston Bruins right wing Jaromir Jagr defends during the first period of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Final on June 19 in Boston.

“I know they wouldn’t put me in that type of situation,” Hossa said.

Roster moves: The Hawks announced they would buy out the contracts of defenseman Steve Montador and forward Rostislav Olesz if no team claimed them on waivers.

In doing so, the Hawks will free up valuable salary-cap space for next season.

Montador, 33, appeared in 52 games with the Hawks a year ago but did not play in the NHL this season as he tried to return from head injuries. Olesz, 27, appeared in six games with the Hawks a year ago but spent all of this season

in the minors.

Slow it down: Hawks captain Jonathan Toews will be one of the biggest stars at today’s parade through the streets of Chicago.

As for Toews’ day with the Stanley Cup, he has yet to create an itinerary.

“Not yet,” Toews said. “I guess I’ll do the rounds again back home in Winnipeg with friends and family. Maybe to take a few more quiet moments to let it sink this time.

“I think the last time I had the Cup back home, it was from one place to the next. It happened so fast. It was just a blur. Definitely maybe take it easy this time.”

“I was just trying to take in my thoughts, make sure everything was OK before I started moving,” Shaw said.

“It’s kind of scary when you get hit that close to an eye. I was kind of just making sure I was all right at that point.”

Next came stitches during the first intermission.

“I think I took 16, 17,” Shaw said, unfazed by the number.

Next came the second period. Shaw was on the ice.

“I knew my head was fine,” Shaw said. “It was just whether I could get the bleeding to stop or not.”

It kept bleeding. Shaw ruined several towels at various points during the rest of the game.

Now, he’s lying on pillows, trying his best to fall asleep.

“It’s something you battle through,” Shaw said. “Eventually, you fall off into a doze.”

All the while, he’s living a dream.

NFL

Law & Order: NFL Criminal cases put focus on league’s vetting systems

By BARRY WILNER The Associated Press Two felony charges in one day were more than a bump in the NFL’s offseason. They pointed to an ongoing problem for the league – players who wind up at the center of criminal cases.

Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was arrested Tuesday in Massachusetts, accused of murdering his friend Odin Lloyd. Also Tuesday, Browns rookie linebacker Ausar Walcott was charged with attempted murder in New Jersey.

Both players were cut later in the day by their teams. On Wednesday, the league said any club that wants to sign Hernandez will face a hearing with commissioner Roger Goodell first.

The question now is whether the veteran tight end and the rookie should have been in the league at all.

“It is difficult, it’s always a balancing act,” said Tony Dungy, who won a Super Bowl as Indianapolis Colts coach and has served as a mentor to players since leaving the NFL, including Michael Vick after the quarterback served federal prison time for dogfighting.

“The league has a security department that sends out information, and every team is different in terms of how much its scouting department does and what areas are concentrated on most.

“It’s really a matter of what you do with the information and what your organization feels is important. One thing you have to keep in mind is a lot of the (negative) things that happen come when they are 15 or 17 or 19 years old.”

According to FBI statistics cited by the league, the incidence of NFL players getting arrested is much lower in than the general public. The average annual arrest rate of NFL players is roughly 2 percent of about 3,000 players who go through the league each year, including tryouts and minicamps. That’s about half the

Hernandez, charged with murdering Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-pro football player, was denied bail. arrest rate of the general U.S. population, the league said.

The NFL notes the disparity becomes even more dramatic when the group is narrowed to American men ages 20-34.

But Jeff Benedict, author of several books on athletes and crimes, including “Pros and Cons, The Criminals Who Play In The NFL,” said he believes the FBI statistics are a bad gauge.

“The danger of doing comparisons with the general public is, if you look at these people and their backgrounds, how many of those guys who have been arrested in the FBI numbers have been to college, make a lot of money like NFL players do, and live in safe, good neighborhoods?” Benedict said. “The issue is why any of these guys are doing this when they have all these good things going on in their lives.”

The San Diego Union-Tribune, which has tracked NFL arrests “more serious than speeding tickets” dating to 2000, has listed 36 this year, including Hernandez and Walcott and three players who were charged twice.

By comparison, the NBA said six of its players have

been arrested since July 1, and Major League Baseball said it’s aware of three cases this year worse than a speeding ticket: two DUIs and a misdemeanor drug charge.

While granting that NFL rosters are far bigger than those in the NBA or MLB, Benedict said, “You can’t take these tiny snap shots and say the NFL is low.”

Of course, even a few cases such as Hernandez’s or that of Jovan Belcher – the Kansas City player who shot his girlfriend to death in December, then committed suicide in front of his coach and general manager – can create a widespread negative image.

And anyone who has suited up for an NFL team will face extra public scrutiny for even minor transgressions.

That, in turn, puts more pressure on the league’s vetting process.

Dungy stresses that the amount of homework teams do is critical because they don’t get all that much one-on-one time with prospective players. Some clubs do psychological analyses, even hiring outside agencies to handle them. Although others like the approach, Dungy is not

a fan of it and always believed in his gut feeling about a player.

“You have to find out if they have grown from the issues, or there seems to be a pattern, or will these issues always be there,” he said.

Bill Polian, who built the Bills, Panthers and Colts into Super Bowl teams as one of the NFL’s most successful GMs and team presidents, strongly maintains that the league’s vetting process is solid. It delves into players’ histories from high school and college before they enter the league. Those investigations have become more sophisticated through the years; background checks include not only public records such as court documents and arrest data, but talking to teammates and coaches, high school principals and other people who have been a part of a player’s life and development.

“It uncovers a fair amount of information,” Polian said. “It is not designed to uncover information that is usable in court, but it is a process by which the clubs try to ascertain a clear picture of the individual that they are thinking about taking.”

But there’s no way of knowing how playing football for a living will change a young man.

“First of all, it is important to remember that no team is immune from having a player run afoul of the law, whether it’s a speeding ticket up to what we have seen in the Hernandez and Belcher cases, which are as serious as is possible to be,” Polian said.

“There’s no magic wand a team can wave and change that player who has had serious problems. It’s no different than any other workplace in America, just more publicized.”

Benedict agrees that teams perform due diligence on draft prospects and they know what they are getting – or avoiding – in their draft rooms when it comes to skills or 40-yard dash times or health issues.

“The hardest thing they deal with on draft day is the character question,” he said. “That is what keeps them up at night.”

Worst showing for U.S. men since 1912

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON – What a stark statistic for the nation of Bill Tilden and Don Budge, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi: It’s been 101 years since no men from the United States reached Wimbledon’s third round.

And the last time it happened, way back in 1912, no Americans even entered the oldest Grand Slam tournament.

By the end of Thursday, all 11 U.S. men in the 2013 Novak Djokovic field at the All England Club were gone, with top-seeded Novak Djokovic accounting for the last one by beating 156th-ranked qualifier Bobby Reynolds, 7-6 (2), 6-3, 6-1. Earlier in the day, former top-five player James Blake lost to Bernard Tomic of Australia, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5, while qualifier Denis Kudla was beaten by Ivan Dodig of Croatia, 6-1, 7-6 (4), 7-5.

That trio joined 18th-seeded John Isner, 21st-seeded Sam Querrey, Ryan Harrison, Steve Johnson, Alex Kuznetsov, Wayne Odesnik, Rajeev Ram and Michael Russell on the way home.

“It’s a tough stat to hear, but I still believe, right now, where U.S. tennis is, not too many guys are in their prime.

That’s why the numbers are like that. But a lot of guys are, maybe, in the tail end of their careers and a lot of guys are coming up,” said Kudla, a 20-year-old from Arlington, Va., who is ranked 105th.

“Maybe next year, or the year after that, things could change.

You have to go through a little bit of a struggle to get some success.”

Led by top-seeded and defending champion Serena Williams, the U.S. women still are represented in singles at Wimbledon this year.

“I have so much respect for her. I think she’s so inspiring to be playing such high-level tennis at her age,” said Williams, who at 31 is the oldest No. 1 in WTA rankings history. “And she’s a real danger on the grass court, I know that.

I definitely will have to be ready.”

GOLF ROUNDUP

Kim leads after 1st round The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – South Korea’s Ha-Neul Kim upstaged friend Inbee Park to take the first-round lead at her first U.S. Women’s Open.

Kim shot a bogey-free 6-under-par 66 on Thursday at Sebonack to lead Park by a stroke.

The top-ranked Park is trying to make history by winning the first three majors of the year.

Northern Illinois alumna Nicole Jeray shot a 3-over 75, putting her in a tie for 65th place.

A member of the KLPGA Tour, Kim is a seven-time winner in South Korea. She kept giving herself short birdie putts and making them.

Kim birdied her second-tolast hole with daylight waning to claim the lead after Park

held it for most of the day with her 67 in the morning session.

No player has won the first three majors in a season with at least four majors.

The 2008 U.S. Women’s Open champion, Park already has won five times this Nicole Jeray year, including her last two tournaments.

AT&T National: At Bethesda, Md., Roberto Castro took the first-round lead at Congressional, shooting a 5-under 66 on the difficult course that has hosted three U.S. Opens.

Winless on the PGA Tour, Castro made three straight birdies late in his round with a 20-foot putt, a perfect 3-wood

into a par 5 and a chip-in.

Only a dozen players shot in the 60s and the average score was just over 73, despite cloud cover for most of the day leading to soft conditions and only a light wind.

Senior Players Championship: At Pittsburgh, John Huston shot a 5-under 65 to take the firstround lead in the third of the Champions Tour’s five majors.

Irish Open: At Maynooth, Ireland, saying he’s “feeling a bit lost” in a difficult year, Rory McIlroy shot a 2-over 74 in the Irish Open to fall eight strokes behind first-round leader Oscar Floren.

The second-ranked McIlroy, from Northern Ireland, had four bogeys and two birdies in wet and overcast conditions at Carton House.

President Obama stumps for Dieng • BULLS Continued from page B1 They still could use another big body given Noah’s plantar fasciitis in his right foot and the departure of Omer Asik to Houston as a free agent a year ago, and at least one prominent fan made it clear he thought that was the direction the Bulls should go.

During a toast at a state dinner in Dakar on Thursday, President Barack Obama said he hoped the Bulls drafted Senegal’s Gorgui Dieng. He called the 6-foot-11 shot-blocking and rebounding force from Louisville an “outstanding big man” and added “maybe the Bulls will get him.” Dieng wound up being drafted by

Utah at No. 21.

About the only certainty coming in was the Bulls needed to land a contributor with their first-round pick, given that they have no cap room and are above the expected luxury-tax threshold.

They owe core players Rose, Carlos Boozer, Luol Deng and Noah nearly $60 million next season, meaning any additions they make will have to come on the cheap and adding a rotation player in the draft is key.

To that end, they’ve had some success in recent years with lower first-round picks, with Taj Gibson at No. 26 in 2009 or Jimmy Butler at No. 30 in 2011. The jury’s still out on Marquis Teague, who showed some glimpses after being taken with the 29th pick a year ago.

The Snell file The Bulls selected New Mexico forward Tony Snell with the 20th overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft. They also picked Florida senior forward Erik Murphy in the second round.

Name: Tony Snell Position: Forward Height: 6-7 Weight: 200 Age: 21 Bottom line: As a wing player with a good 3-point shot and strong defensive skills, could Snell become the next Luol Deng? Maybe, but that seems like a long shot. Either way, Snell figures to fit into the Bulls’ rotation as a part-time player at worst. He averaged 12.5 points a game last season while draining 64 3-pointers.

Weaver 1st-team all-area as a soph in ’12 • SPARTANS Continued from page B1 Weaver points out that the group is physical enough to be a good run-stuffing team as well. As a sophomore last season, he was a Daily Chronicle first-team all-area selection.

Ryan said Weaver is looking to be more physical in 2013, something he did as the season went on last year.

“At the beginning of the year, it was all about the game speed, catching up,” Weaver said. “Once I caught on to that, it was more matching the physicality and filling the gaps when I needed to and getting the small things right, which was a big thing.”

Sycamore gave up less than 17 points a game last year. With nine starters returning, there’s a ton of poten-

tial for improvement on the defensive side of the ball.

But for now, it still is only potential.

“Obviously, we’re excited about [the returning talent], that’s huge,” Ryan said. “It’s better than [saying], ‘We don’t have anybody.’ Everything’s just on paper, too. I guarantee you Lincoln-Way West (Sycamore’s Week 1 opponent) isn’t worried about that stuff.”

Root runs similar offense to Huskies’ • HUSKIES Continued from page B1 “The offense just fit me well as a football player, as a quarterback,” he said. “Jordan Lynch is a Heisman candidate as a QB, obviously you want to follow in those footsteps.”

Root also had offers from

Tulsa and Harvard, and said he also was interested in Kansas State and Iowa State. He was familiar with NIU because of its success in the Mid-American Conference, and the Orange Bowl berth certainly put the program in the spotlight.

He checked out NIU’s facilities before he decided he was going to go to a camp, and was

a huge fan of Huskie Stadium, Yordon Center and the Chessick Practice Center, which is supposed to be completed this fall.

“The stadium is awesome.

Once you get that thing packed, it’ll be loud and jumping,” Root said. “Their indoor practice facility is going to be really nice.”

In this Jan. 8 file photo, Mormon missionaries walk through the halls at the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah. Mormon missionaries will soon spend less time knocking on doors and more time chatting online with potential converts after leaders with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced Sunday that it’s critical to adapt to a changing world in which many people prefer to connect over social media.

Embracing

SOCIAL MEDIA

Mormons to use technology in missionary work

By BRADY McCOMBS The Associated Press

S

ALT LAKE CITY – The common image of Mormon missionaries has long

been two young men wearing white shirts and ties walking through neighborhoods, knocking door-to-door.

But in a few years, that image may be replaced by one of young Mormons sitting with an iPad, typing messages on Facebook.

Recognizing the world has changed, leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints leaders announced Sunday night that missionaries will do less door-todoor proselytizing, and instead, use the Internet to recruit new church members.

The strategy shift reflects the growing importance of social media and people’s preference to connect over sites such as Facebook rather than opening their homes to strangers, church leaders said.

“The way in which we fulfill our responsibilities to share the gospel must adapt to a changing world,” said Elder L. Tom Perry of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles during a

presentation to mission presidents in Provo, Utah, that was broadcast worldwide.

The move is the latest example of the LDS church’s gradual embrace of the digital age, and a recognition that door-to-door proselytizing is not the most effective way to expand church membership, church scholars said.

Many of the details about how the social media work will be carried out by missionaries and monitored by mission presidents have yet to be ironed out, church officials said.

But it’s clear that the new rules mark a significant change in the way the church governs Internet access for missionaries.

Previously, Internet use for missionaries was limited to once a week and only for communicating with friends and family back home or accessing official church sites.

Those rules were designed to reduce distractions and temptations for missionaries expected to devote all their attention to serving the Lord, while leaving behind personal affairs.

The announcement comes as the church sends more missionaries around the globe than at any time in history. There has been an unprecedented surge of missionaries since the church’s announced in October that it was lowering the minimum age for missionaries from 21 to 19 for women and from 19 to 18 for men.

There are 70,000 young men and women on mission now, and church officials say there will be 85,000 by the end of the year. The previous record total of missionaries at one time was 61,600 in 2002, church figures

show.

Missions are considered rites of passage for many Mormons, broadening their perspective on the world, strengthening their faith and helping prepare some for future leadership roles within the church. Men serve two years while women go for 18 months.

The new focus on social media will likely come as welcome news to young, tech-savvy missionaries, said Matthew Bowman, assistant professor of religion at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia and author of the book, “The Mormon People: The Making of an American Faith.”

“This generation knows social networking, they know how this works,” Bowman said. “It’s much more appealing work than going door-todoor knocking and hoping somebody doesn’t slam the door in your face.”

Door-to-door work has not been effective for many years, said Matt Martinich, a member of the LDS church who analyzes membership and missionary numbers with the nonprofit Cumorah Foundation.

Missionaries have far greater success spending time with people who are referred by church members or who are family members of current Mormons, he said.

Perry acknowledged that the new shift marks a “better way” to proselyte.

He said missionaries will use social media, blogs, email, text messages and the church’s website in their ministry. It will start in a limited number of locations this year and should be in place worldwide

next year, he said.

Perry said missionaries will use Internet in the less productive parts of the day, usually the morning, at Mormon meeting houses and other church buildings.

Perry encouraged Mormons to become Facebook friends with missionaries in their area to help share their gospel message. Networking through current church members and others already receptive to conversion is the most likely way missionaries will use Facebook, Martinich and Bowman predicted.

Both scholars doubt missionaries will be asked to send friend requests to strangers.

This is the second time this year the church has loosened rules on Internet use for missionaries.

In April, church officials said they would begin allowing missionaries to send emails to friends, priesthood leaders and new converts. Previously, missionaries could only email immediate family members.

Under the new rules, missionaries must get permission from their mission president before sending emails to converts or people of the opposite gender. They are still required to send emails from public computers where a fellow missionary can see the screen.

Martinich says giving 18- and 19-year-olds more access to the Internet on missions is a delicate balance, and could lead some to waste time surfing the web or on Facebook. But, he said it’s simply unrealistic to do mission work in today’s world without embracing technology.

8BRIEFS Westminster to host fun fair

Church in Sandwich welcomes new pastor

By DEBBIE BEHRENDS dbehrends@shawmedia.com SANDWICH — The Sandwich Church of the Nazarene will install its new pastor, Mark Abbott, at 3 p.m. Sunday at the church, 205 W. College St. The public is invited to welcome Abbott and his family to the community.

Already relocated to Sandwich from Peru, Abbott brings his wife, Lisa, and their three daughters, Michaela, 13; Marisa, 10; and Mia, 7.

“I’ve attended the Nazarene church my whole life, but this is my first time as a pastor,” Abbott said.

A junior high school math teacher in Spring Valley, Abbott said he felt the call to full-time ministry several years ago. “I started taking coursework and began the process to get what’s called a local license. I’ve had that for a couple of years. The next step was further classwork and experience doing the work

of a pastor to get a district license. I got that in April,” he said.

Abbott said additional coursework will be necessary before he is ordained, although the title of reverend comes with the district license.

Planning to teach for at least one more year, Abbott said he is hoping the church grows to the point where it’s not necessary to have supplemental income.

Although it can be difficult to relocate a family, Abbott said his daughters are pretty excited. “There are other kids their age in church. It’s not a big deal for them.

“We’re excited to be here and looking forward to getting to know more about the town.

Of course, we’ve already heard about the fair, but we’re really interested in learning about the whole surrounding area,” Abbott said.

“I’m excited about what God wants us to do here.”

First Congregational Church sets annual barbecue dinner The First Congregational United Church of Christ will host its annual Pork Chop/ Chicken Dinner from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 7 at 615 N. First St., DeKalb.

Divorced dad’s poor hygiene causes stink Dear Abby: I have been divorced for almost 15 years. In that time, my ex-husband has been self-employed and works out of his home. He rarely leaves his house, and I think he suffers from depression.

At a school honors event for our daughter for which most of the attendees dressed for the occasion, he arrived in dirty shorts and a T-shirt.

I sat next to him to be polite, until I realized he also smelled awful. When I tried to excuse myself saying I needed a “better seat for my camera,” he got up, too! It was an unpleasant two hours. I felt bad for the others in our vicinity.

I have tried to suggest that he may suffer from depression in the past, but he denies it. Is there anything I can say that won’t be resented (with him possibly showing up even more disheveled the

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips next time just out of spite)? – Unpleasant Situation, Gettysburg, Pa.

Dear Unpleasant Situation: While you may have ended your marriage 15 years ago, it doesn’t appear you have truly divorced yourself from your ex. Rather than having pussy-footed around the reason you wanted to change your seat, you should have told him it was because he smelled like a goat and showed he lacked enough respect for those around him and his daughter to shower and put on clean clothes.

He may – or may not – suffer from depression. Because he denies it, there is no

way you can force him into treatment. You are no longer responsible for his attire or his welfare.

Because you’re concerned that he may show up looking more disheveled “out of spite,” you have my permission to distance yourself if it happens. And if your daughter is embarrassed by his attire, she has every right to talk to her father about it.

Dear Abby: I’m a small-business owner. I have an educational supply and toy store.

Business has been pretty good, even through the hard times.

My problem is my customers’ children are about to put me out of business. They are out of control. They climb on shelving, open products, tear things apart and throw screaming tantrums.

Their parents let them run

through the store like it’s a playground. I have signs posted at the entrance and around the store reminding parents to attend to their children.

We have lost a lot of inventory due to these brats, and my time is consumed trying to keep them in line instead of working with my customers.

I don’t go to their homes and wreck them. I wish they’d show the same respect for my business. Thanks for any advice you can offer. – Had It With Overindulged Kids Dear Had It: If possible, designate a small area of your store where kids can go to play while their parents are shopping. Also, post a sign at the cash register that reads: “Customers Will Be Charged for Broken or Damaged Items.”

The problem you are experiencing is one that is shared

by many other retailers. If any of them are reading this column, I’d love to know how they resolved this problem.

Dear Abby: Since my mother passed away, I feel awkward when my parents’ anniversary comes up. I don’t want to ignore this important date for my father (we are very close), but I don’t feel saying “Happy Anniversary” is appropriate either. What do you suggest?

– Remembering in Orange County, Calif.

Dear Remembering: Your father already knows what the date means. Pick up the phone, say, “Dad, I’m thinking about you and I love you,” and if he lives close by, invite him to dinner if he doesn’t have plans.

DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Healthy lifestyle is key for treating high BP Dear Dr. K: My blood pressure medication has side effects that are difficult to tolerate. What else can I do to lower my BP? Dear Reader: If you’re a regular reader of this column, you’ve heard me say more than once that diet and exercise sometimes can eliminate the need for medications for a variety of conditions. That’s true – and it surely is true for high blood pressure.

However, sometimes diet, exercise and stress management lower blood pressure only part of the way. Medications may still be necessary.

Every medicine ever invented can cause side effects in some people. But the other side of that coin is that medicines often do not cause side

ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff effects. And just because one medicine causes side effects does not mean that another will.

Fortunately, there are many different medicines to treat high blood pressure.

In my experience, you can usually find a blood pressure medication that is both effective and free of side effects.

But even when that’s true, it’s still important to get back to basics: a healthy lifestyle.

A healthy lifestyle is the cornerstone for preventing and treating hypertension.

It may allow you to lower

your medication dose or stop taking medication altogether.

At the very least, you’ll feel better: • First and foremost, if you smoke, quit. Your blood pressure will start to decrease within hours after your last cigarette. Your doctor can recommend resources to help you quit.

• Another important step is to reach and maintain a healthy body weight. Being overweight or obese itself raises your blood pressure.

• Even if you don’t need to lose weight, eating the right foods can make a difference. The key features of a blood-pressure-friendly diet include plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; several servings daily of low-

fat dairy products; some fish, poultry, dried beans, nuts and seeds; and minimal red meat, sweets and sugar-laden beverages. Also try to limit your sodium intake to less than 1.5 grams of sodium per day. You can find the sodium content of prepared foods on the Nutrition Facts label.

• Limiting alcohol can help. Have no more than two drinks per day if you’re male, or one drink per day if you’re female. That’s drinking in moderation. Drinking in moderation may even help lower blood pressure, while drinking more can definitely raise blood pressure.

• Regular exercise lowers high blood pressure. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise on

all or most days of the week.

Examples include walking or riding a stationary bike.

Regular exercise is a potent tonic for lowering your blood pressure – even if you don’t lose weight.

• Finally, relax. Ongoing stress raises your blood pressure. Learn relaxation techniques, such as meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing or yoga. I have a patient who took up tai chi several years ago and does it daily. I can’t prove there’s a connection, but I can tell you that her blood pressure has never been so low, and she says she feels great.

Your brother is in need of professional help Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and have a 17-year-old brother who keeps threatening to commit suicide because his girlfriend left him for another guy.

Who else can we turn to for help? Please hurry with your response. – Nameless, Nashville, Tenn.

8ASTROGRAPH

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

TODAY – Income from more than one source will be heading your way in the coming months. It might start out as a side venture, but could become the tail that wags the dog.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – If you don’t expect too much from a social connection, you won’t be disappointed. Of course, you should still be friendly with everyone you meet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – It’s best not to make any last-minute changes to an important matter that you’re trying to wrap up. Things are likely to work out as you anticipate, or, perhaps, even better.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Your best adviser might not be someone to whom you usually go for counsel. Before seeking advice from anyone else, try your mate or a close friend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – In a matter that directly affects your work, don’t underestimate your competition. This does not mean that all your adversaries are stronger – it just means you should watch your back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A wise associate might influence you to change your mind about something. Don’t berate yourself for doing so; it’ll turn out to be a wise choice.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A pleasant surprise is in store when new life is breathed into an endeavor you were about to write off. This shift in conditions will produce fresh advantages.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Take advantage of an opportunity to catch up with an acquaintance whom you’ve been neglecting of late. You’ll be glad you did.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Follow your judgment regarding an important career decision. Advice from others could only muddy the waters.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – There is a strong possibility that you will learn a valuable lesson. The knowledge you’ll gain will be used later to further your aims.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Both your intuitive perceptions and your logic are sharper than usual. Both will help you make the decisions you need to make.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Even if you aren’t an original thinker, chances are someone you hang out with is. You’ll know how to put his or her ideas to good use.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Anything that calls for a financial risk might not work out. However, involvements requiring hard work will pay off reliably.

who is 19 wrote saying he was getting a lot of flack from family and friends because his girlfriend is four years older than he is. I’m glad you encouraged them to stay together. You were 100 percent correct when you stated that if he were 23 and she 19, no one would have thought a thing about it.

I know how they feel. I’m a 24-year-old girl, and I’m married to a handsome, kind, sincere, loving 19-year-old husband. Our families said we were crazy and stupid and immature. It so happens that my husband is the most

8SUDOKU

mature individual I have ever known. The only way we could stop all the gossip was to get married a bit earlier than we had planned.

– Sarah, Memphis, Tenn.

Sarah: When a husband and wife are both over 18, age difference that’s counted in years is usually insignificant.

Dr. Wallace: Please settle this family disagreement.

My counselor said that more females attend college than males. My know-it-all brother disagrees. Where can we find the correct answer? It’s very important that I get this information because the loser has

to do the winner’s chores for two long, hard weeks.

My brother said he got his “males dominate” information from his football coach.

– Natalie, Atlanta, Ga. Natalie: Tell your brother to roll up his sleeves and get to work. You win! A recent report from The U.S. Department of Labor shows college enrollment for female high school graduates was 69.7 percent, while 61.8 percent of the male high school graduates enrolled in college.

8CROSSWORD

BRIDGE Phillip Alder

You have points but no good bid E.J. Smith, the future captain of the Titanic, certainly tempted fate by saying, “When anyone asks me how I can best describe my experience in nearly 40 years at sea, I merely say, uneventful. I never saw a wreck ... nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort.”

When you are in a predicament at the bridge table, consider the various sensible options and decide between them.

Look at the North hand in today’s diagram. East opens two diamonds, weak; South makes a takeout double; and West raises to three diamonds.

What should North do?

He clearly has enough strength to act, but to force to game with a four-diamond cue-bid would be overstating his hand, especially since the diamond king is probably worthless. And he would prefer not to guess which major to bid.

The answer is to double. It is called responsive and says, “I have enough strength to act but no suitable bid available.”

South, with such a strong hand, should jump to four spades.

West leads the diamond queen. The defenders take two tricks in the suit, then play a club. How should South continue?

In danger of losing one spade, one heart and two diamonds, he should assume a favorable layout. Here, he wins the fourth trick, draws two rounds of trumps, cashes the two top hearts and plays on clubs. Whether East ruffs in or discards and is then endplayed with his trump winner, he must concede a ruff-andsluff, on which South’s last heart disappears.
