Wurlitzer building sits in limbo in DeKalb
STARTING EARLY I
n a way, Douglas Baker is a college freshman again at age 57. But instead of taking placement tests, Northern Illinois University’s new president has spent hours meeting with each of the school’s vice presidents and reviewing their written summaries of priorities and projects. Instead of his parents dropping him off at his dorm room, he made the trek from the University of Idaho on a motorcycle with his wife, Dana. He’s taken in the beauty of the campus lagoon and Altgeld Hall, and visited NIU’s branch campuses in Hoffman Estates, Naperville and Rockford. Baker’s administration officially begins Monday, but he arrived on campus this week and has been working on the transition since the Board of Trustees selected him in April. Baker beat out 47 other applicants to earn a five-year contract with a base salary of $450,000 a year – $110,000 more than his predecessor – partially by echoing outgoing President John Peters’ emphasis on students. Baker said he wants NIU to attract the right students, help them through the financial challenges that can come with college and prepare them for the working world with internships, service learning and strong academic and research opportunities. “If mom and dad are assured and the student is assured that if they come here, they are going to get a grade-A education and get a job when they get out, I think that’s going to be very attractive,” Baker said. “We’re going to work toward that.” He also wants to make sure NIU helps new students acclimate to their new environment. “It’s always difficult as you enter a new institution, whether you’re a president or a freshman,” Baker said. “You have to go through that learning curve.”

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com DeKALB – The fate of a crumbling building in DeKalb has yet to be decided. None of the damage to the Wurlitzer Co. building at 1660 Pleasant St. has been repaired since parts of it collapsed twice last year. The building owners are embroiled in a lawsuit with their insurance company over whether the company should pay for repairs or demolition, DeKalb City Attorney Dean Frieders said. Although nothing has been decided yet, repairs likely would exceed the cost to demolish the collapsed part of the building, which could range from $300,000 to more than $1 million. City officials are not satisfied with the condition of the building, but they are waiting until the legal fight concludes before deciding what to do next, said T. J. Moore, DeKalb’s director of Public Works. “There is a process underway right now,” Moore said. “As long as that process is underway, the city will decide what avenues are available after that.” DeKalb Logistics, Woodworks and an office where Northern Illinois University makes steel drums use a section of the building. “There’s a portion that has been deemed safe by a structural engineer that is still being used on the northeastern corner of the building,” Frieders said. The main section of the building was inspected by city officials, who deemed it unsafe, Frieders said. A court order followed that prohibited anyone from living in the building, he said. The section of the building deemed unsafe was condemned last year, Moore said. The building was built in sections between the 19th century and the 1960s. The Building Division within the Public Works Department is responsible for making sure the area outside the Wurlitzer building has strong fencing, he said. In case the building collapses, he doesn’t want any debris going into the roadway and hurting motorists. City officials said at the time of the collapse in May 2012, some of the damage went all the way to the first floor. No one was harmed when the collapse happened.

Obama’s ties to Mandela loom over S. Africa visit By JULIE PACE The Associated Press JOHANNESBURG – Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s struggles in South Africa, a young Barack Obama joined campus protests in the U.S. against the racist rule that kept Mandela locked away in prison for nearly three decades. Now a historic, barrier-breaking figure himself, President Obama arrived in South Africa Friday to find a country drasti-
cally transformed by Mandela’s influence – and grappling with the beloved 94-year-old’s mortality. It was unclear whether Mandela’s deteriorating health would allow Obama to make a hospital visit. The former South African leader is battling a recurring lung infection and is said to be in critical condition at a hospital in the South African capital of Pretoria. Speaking to reporters on Air
Force One as he made his way to Johannesburg, Obama said he would gauge the situation after he arrived. “I don’t need a photo-op,” he said. “And the last thing I want to do is to be in any way obtrusive at a time when the family is concerned about Nelson Mandela’s condition.” Obama’s visit to South Africa is seen as something of a tribute to the man who helped inspire his own political activism. The
president will pay homage to Mandela at Robben Island, the prison where he spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. And with South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, facing questions about its effectiveness, Obama will urge the government and the South African people to live up to the democratic example set by their first black president.

Dave Becker, 52, of DeKalb, speaks during a panel discussion June 11 at the White House. Becker is senior manager of learning experiences with the Chicago Zoological Society, and was named one of 12 Champions of Change for his work with Brookfield Zoo’s Hamill Family Play Zoo, which gives children hands-on experiences with nature and animals.
Zoo work leads to White House trip If you decide to take the kids or grandkids on a field trip to Brookfield Zoo this summer, stop by the Hamill Family Play Zoo. With a 15,000-square-foot inside area and a 2-acre play garden, it’s a part of the zoo where children can learn about nature and animals through hands-on experiences, rather than just watching from the other side of a cage. It’s also the part of the zoo that DeKalb’s Dave Becker and his team with the Chicago Zoological Society have spent the past 12 years creating. This month, Becker was recognized for his work in early learning education as part of the “Champions of Change” initiative at the White House. On June 11, Becker, 52, was one of 12 professionals from around the country who took part in a roundtable discussion in the South Auditorium in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, part of the White House complex. President Barack Obama couldn’t make the gathering, but visiting the White House as an invited guest rather than a tourist was a thrill, Becker said. It was reaffirming to be recognized for the work he and his coworkers are doing at the Chicago area’s largest zoo, Becker said. “To have that kind of recognition was just a huge boost of saying, ‘Oh, I’m not the only one who thinks it’s important; it’s being recognized at a national level,’ “ Becker said. “Maybe it’s even more important than I think it is.” Becker brought his wife Kirsten, as well as his two daughters, his son and grandson along for the trip, during which they also visited the National Zoo, among other destinations. Becker is senior manager of learning experiences with the zoological society. In his work with the play zoo, Becker and his coworkers try to help today’s children have outdoor experiences that are becoming harder to come by. Just as many children don’t get together to play without a pre-arranged “play date,” so too are they losing their connection to the natural world, Becker said. You can also see a video of his remarks at Champions of Change online at: shawurl.com/nui “[Growing up] I spent hours in the woods, climbing trees, building forts, catching frogs, and getting as dirty as possible,” Becker wrote in a blog post on the White House’s website. “I didn’t know how valuable these experiences were until I became a parent. “For my own children to have any of these experiences, I had to help
EDITOR’S NOTE Eric Olson make them happen. My children needed me and other adults to provide the spaces and opportunities, which are rapidly disappearing as access to nature becomes more and more removed from the human experience.” At the play zoo, children can play in the woods, build forts, make mud pies, hunt for bugs, see animals up-close and help care for them. Becker’s team, known as the NatureStart Early Childhood Initiative, also has partnered with universities and community organizations to bring play-based nature activities to deprived communities, Becker said. Not only is the zoo helping children have hands-on interaction with nature, but they’re teaching others from aquariums and zoos around the country and Latin America how to do the same, Becker said. Recently, after representatives from the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore visited the zoo, they set up their own children’s area, Becker said. The Becker family expected their stay in DeKalb to be temporary while Kirsten completed law school at NIU, Dave Becker said. But they fell in love with the Barb City, and have called DeKalb home for the past 12 years. Becker and his family have also established strong ties with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of DeKalb, where he is religious education director. “The things that are available through the university being right there … [and] it’s a friendly community,” Becker said. Hopefully, Becker still finds the time to get dirty once in a while. Puppets’ persuasion: This week the New Yorker magazine put an image of the Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie on its cover. The image showed Bert and Ernie snuggling on a couch while they watched news coverage about this week’s Supreme Court decision about the Defense of Marriage Act. The point of the illustration was that Bert and Ernie are gay, and hence pleased at the court’s decision to strike down part of DOMA. I grew up with Bert and Ernie. They were my favorite characters on “Sesame Street” when I was a little boy. The entire time I watched those two guys hang out while wearing odd sweaters or singing duets while sleeping in separate beds in their bedroom, it never
occurred to me to question what their sexual orientation might be. Maybe because I was more interested in learning to count to 12. Today, the urge is to make everyone – even puppets on a children’s’ TV show – choose sides in this culture war we’re having. How about we let the real, live adults work this out rather than drag a couple of puppets – or a Teletubby, or any talking unicorns, or any other make-believe characters from children’s television – into things? They’re not real, after all. Kids don’t think about this stuff the way we do. That’s part of what makes them so great to talk to. There’s no need to politicize their TV shows. It always comes off cheesy. Politically incorrect admission: I will not be shooting off any fireworks this Fourth of July because I am not leaving Illinois. But I do enjoy fireworks. I like shooting them into the air, watching them explode and hearing everyone at the party say, “Ooooh.” It’s fun. Feels like that’s not a very politically correct thing to say. Here in Illinois, we’re supposed to “leave fireworks to the professionals,” lest we shoot an eye out or start a fire. Granted, those are possible outcomes. Of course, if our state did legalize the sale of fireworks, lawmakers could impose a hefty tax on them. Some of the proceeds could be diverted to grant programs for firefighter equipment and training throughout the state, and the rest could be used to try to pay the state’s pensioners. Let local communities impose their own bans as they see fit, and you could keep from alienating people while generating some extra cash. Just a thought. There can only be so much gambling, alcohol and tobacco taxes before lawmakers have to move on to something else, right? Regardless, unless you’re planning a trip out of state, obey the law and check out one of the fireworks displays planned in the area around the holiday. We’ll be running lists in the days ahead in the Daily Chronicle and online at Daily-Chronicle.com – and if you want to see pyrotechnics, check one out. America: God bless her. Have a happy and safe Fourth of July.

New food pantry for D-428 families By CURTIS CLEGG cclegg@shawmedia.com DeKALB – Families of DeKalb School District 428 students have a new resource to obtain free food if they need it. The Barb Food Mart began operating June 20 in an unused room at Huntley Middle School, 1515 S. Fourth St. in DeKalb. District facilities operations manager Tammy Carson and other school officials converted a former welding shop to house the food pantry. “We’re very grateful for Tammy and how quickly she made everything work,” said Sheryl Nakonechny, director of the Barb Food Mart. Nakonechny, a retired Clinton Rosette Middle School teacher, approached the district in March with the
idea. The food mart is accessible only from a discreet entrance behind the school near the tennis courts, and could potentially serve hundreds of families. “Approximately 50 percent of our students are economically disadvantaged,” said James Briscoe, superintendent of the DeKalb School District. “I suspect it will be a big success at Huntley Middle School.” Barb Food Mart is open from 3 to 5 p.m. every Thursday except for the Fourth of July. It is stocked with dry goods and seasonal produce harvested from community gardens. A nutritionist will be on hand to offer advice, and culinary arts students from Kishwaukee Education Consortium will demonstrate cooking and preparation of
dishes using foods available at the facility. The food mart also has two commercial freezers and two commercial refrigerators to store milk, cheese, eggs and frozen foods. Nakonechny thinks it is the only food pantry in the county to make dairy products available to its clients. Families will have to show a school ID card, a report card, or mail addressed to them from the school district in order to use the facility. Shoppers are asked to bring their own shopping bags. Nakonechny still needs volunteers for the food mart throughout the week. For information email barbfoodmart@dist428. Voluntary Action Center transportation is available. Call 815-758-3932 to arrange your pick-up.
DeKALB — Northern Illinois University’s chapter of Engineers Without Borders is a year away from completing a five-year project to give light and power to a school in Africa. Three members of group will head to Nyegina, Tanzania, to check on the equipment the organization built there for Nyegina Secondary School and install more. They’ll be taking the trip from August 5 to 14, said Mohammad Athar, president the NIU chapter. Since 2009, members have been providing efficient lighting and cooking resources to Nyegina Secondary School to help cut operating costs for the roughly 500 students there. Several solar lighting devices have been installed at the school and its library. Another device will be installed during the trip. The solar lighting devices are key to allowing the students study every night instead just a few. “Right now, 100 percent of the school can’t study at the same time,” Athar said, who went to Nyegina last year but will not be going this year so others in the organization can go instead. The group will also check its equipment to make sure everything is working prop-

In the shanty towns, there’s at least one person who charges cellphones with a car battery, he said. Companies have sold phones there because they saw mon-
ey could be made, he said. “There’s not a lot of profit to bring water and solar power to schools,” Athar said. He hopes the organization will find more funding for another trip in the winter season to check on its equipment. Taylor Thanos, the chapter’s public relations and fundraising chair, said the organization gives students majoring in nursing, public relations and engineering, among others, experiences they probably wouldn’t get otherwise. “We are allowing students to make a difference in Third World countries,” Thanos said, “and in ways they might never get a chance in any other organization.

Librarians to help with health law By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – The nation’s librarians will be recruited to help people get signed up for insurance under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. Up to 17,000 U.S. libraries will be part of the effort to get information and crucial computer time to the millions of uninsured Americans who need to get coverage under the law. The undertaking will be announced Sunday in Chicago at the annual conference of the American Library Association, according to federal officials who released the information early to The Associated Press. The initiative starts Oct. 1, when people without health coverage will start shopping for insurance online on new websites where they can get tax credits to help pay the cost. Low-income people will be

Octavia Deatherage, 101, of DeKalb, Ill., died Thursday, June 27, 2013, at DeKalb County Rehab & Nursing Center, DeKalb, surrounded by her family. Born Nov. 5, 1911, in Imboden, Ark., the daughter of William Addison and Mary Edna (Hedrick) Hudson, Octavia married T. Noble Deatherage, her husband of 64 years, Dec. 27, 1939, in Black Rock, Ark. An accomplished artist, Octavia was active in the Kishwaukee Valley Art League for several years and had many art gallery affiliations. She taught art class for several years in both Imboden and DeKalb. She and her students often exhibited their paintings, and she had numerous one-person shows. Her paintings and other artwork reflect the sensitivity of a very talented artist. Octavia was a Bible scholar and an active, charter member of Victory Baptist Church. She was an excellent cook and loved to cook for her family. Octavia cooked everything from “scratch.” Her chicken and dumplings and barbecue were family favorites. Loved for her grace and wisdom, Octavia dearly loved her family and was devoted to them. She was loved by all and will be greatly missed. She is survived by her daughters, Deanna (Lee) Sexton of DeKalb and Carolyn Deatherage of Madison, Wis.; son, Steven Deatherage of Madison; grandsons, Trent (Joelle) Sexton of DeKalb and Barry Sexton of Doha, Qatar; great-grandchildren, Blake, Sarayna and Coby; and sister, Opal (Harlie) Brown of DeKalb. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Noble; sisters, Evelyn (Dewey) Rexroad and Lillian (Oliver) Knauss; and brother, Bill (Audrey) Hudson. The memorial service will be at noon Monday, July 1, at Anderson Funeral Home, DeKalb, with the Rev. Eric Mangek of Victory Baptist Church, DeKalb, officiating. Cremation is by Anderson Funeral Home Crematory. Visitation will be from 11 a.m. to noon Monday at Anderson

About 7 million people are expected to sign up for coverage in the new marketplaces next year, but the heavy emphasis on the Web-based portals puts anyone without access to a computer at a disadvantage. Libraries equipped with public computers and Internet access already serve as a bridge across the digital divide, so it made sense to get them involved, said Julie Bataille, spokeswoman for the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. “Libraries are a tremendous resource for people in their communities,” Bataille said. “They’re already a destination many individuals go to when they’re seeking out information and understanding on a variety of issues.” Libraries also have public spaces where meetings can be

Born April 28, 1925, at Glidden Hospital in DeKalb, the daughter of Fred B. and Blanche (Larson) Needham, Martha married E. Gene Wallis on May 26, 1945, in DeKalb. Martha’s greatest joy in life came from caring for her husband and family. She enjoyed entertaining and was “famous” for her spaghetti and potato salad. She was a member of First Baptist Church, DeKalb. The family thanks Martha’s caregivers at Pine Acres.

experience that should help with this effort, Bataille said. Libraries will be particularly important in conservative states that are not making much effort to promote the health law’s opportunities. In Texas, the Dallas library system’s home page has linked to HealthCare.gov – the revamped federal website that is the hub for health law information. Embedding the widget on their sites is another way some libraries may choose to get involved, said Susan Hildreth, director of the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Some libraries may decide to set aside some public computers for people seeking health insurance or extend time limits on computers, Hildreth said. Some may work with community health centers on educational events. Those will be local decisions with each library deciding how to participate.

Baker continues to build administrative team, examines financial issues • BAKER Continued from page A1 Building a team As the university president, Baker will lead NIU’s administration, which is divided between academics – led by Provost Ray Alden – and operations – led by acting Executive Vice President Steve Cunningham. Above Baker is the Board of Trustees, which sets general university policy. “There are always differences between presidents,” Cunningham said. “The president has a great deal of influence in the operations of the university ... each president will set their own priorities – both academic and nonacademic.” Trustees named Peters president emeritus June 20, a title previously bestowed upon past presidents John La Tourette and William Monat. Peters also will guest lecture in the fall, maintain his involvement with the NCAA,and write about his time at NIU. Meanwhile, Baker will continue to build his administrative team. At Baker’s suggestion, the Board of Trustees on June 20 appointed Bill Nicklas, vice president of public safety and community relations, as the new liaison to the board. In addition, Eric Weldy, associate vice president for student affairs at Florida State University, is set to become NIU’s next vice president for student affairs and enrollment management. Baker expects to receive, by mid-August, a recommendation for replacing former Police Chief Donald Grady, who was fired Feb. 19 for his department’s mismanagement of rape charges against former police officer Andrew Rifkin, Nicklas said. A search firm has amassed a pool of candidates for NIU’s next athletic director, whom Baker said he hopes to announce by the end of July. Jeff Compher became the athletic director at East Carolina University after five years at NIU. Cunningham was named
acting executive vice president of finance and facilities March 8 after his predecessor, Eddie Williams, took a leave of absence after he and a low-income housing development he owns were named in an FBI search warrant served on NIU’s police department. Williams retired May 31. If history is any indication, NIU administrators can expect Baker to give them the space to do their work and to consider students part of his team. Baker encourages people who work with him to take initiative, said Jeanne Stevenson, vice provost of academic affairs for the University of Idaho. Stevenson worked with Baker on several projects, including revamping the early warning grading process for students and a service learning program that put student volunteers in the community. “He takes his work really seriously and has a great sense of humor,” Stevenson said. Max Cowan, a junior at the University of Idaho and president of the school’s student government, said he remembered Baker as a warm person who enjoyed working with students. Baker displayed student paintings, sculptures and photography in his office, stood behind them in keeping the campus gun-free and helped students make campus buildings more environmentally friendly, Cowan said. “He always listened to what I had to say and was very considerate of the ideas [students] brought forward,” Cowan said.
Eye on efficiency While gazing forward, Baker also is looking at NIU’s finances. University staff members already are reviewing the institution’s fiscal model, making sure they are good stewards of the budget, and reviewing financial aid money, making sure those dollars are distributed wisely, Baker said. Efficient spending is important in light of declining state funding for higher education. It’s a nationwide trend as state budgets are strained

NIU’s newest president, Douglas Baker, speaks to guests at the DeKalb County Economic Development Corp. leader recognition reception Thursday at the Barsema Alumni and Visitors Center. by Medicare, pension costs, elementary and secondary education and other pressures. It’s also bad public policy, Baker said. “We see countries around the world, in Asia for example, heavily investing in higher education,” Baker said. “They saw our investment and what it did in our economy. They are running our plays out of our playbook while we’re divesting because of the state budgetary dynamics.” But NIU’s situation is not unlike the University of Idaho’s. According to the Center On Budget and Policy Priorities, Idaho’s two state-funded universities have seen a 39.6 percent decrease in funding between fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2013. During the same period, Illinois has seen a drop of 23.3
percent. Duane Nellis, former president of the University of Idaho, said Baker provided important leadership between 2009 and 2011 when the university had to make substantial budget cuts, including consolidating or cutting more than 30 programs. Baker was the provost and executive vice president in Idaho from 2005 until he came to NIU. “It wasn’t an easy process, but I think working with him and others across campus, we were able to make some difficult decisions,” Nellis said. As they consider efficiency at NIU, leaders expect to continue pursuing the goals established in Vision 2020, one of Peters’ pet projects. The all-encompassing plan was introduced in September 2010
Continued from page A1 “He’s a personal hero, but I don’t think I’m unique in that regard,” Obama said during a news conference Thursday in Senegal, the first stop on his weeklong Africa trip. “I think he’s a hero for the world. And if and when he passes from this place, one thing I think we’ll all know is that his legacy is one that will linger on throughout the ages.” Obama and Mandela have met just once, a hastily arranged meeting in a Washington hotel room in 2005 when Obama was a U.S. senator. A photo of the meeting hangs in Obama’s personal office at the White House, showing a smiling Mandela sitting on a chair, his legs outstretched, as the young senator reaches down to shake his hand. A copy of the photo also hangs in Mandela’s office in Johannesburg. Since then, the two have
spoken occasionally by telephone, including after the 2008 election, when Mandela called Obama to congratulate him on his victory. The U.S. president called Mandela in 2010 after the South African leader’s young granddaughter was killed in a car accident. Obama also wrote the introduction to Mandela’s memoir, “Conversations With Myself.” Despite the two men’s infrequent contact, people close to Obama say his one-on-one meeting with Mandela left a lasting impression. “He is one of the few people who the president has respected and admired from afar who, when he met him, exceeded his expectations,” said Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s senior adviser and close friend. Obama’s own political rise has drawn inevitable comparisons to the South African leader. Both are Nobel Peace Prize winners and the first black men elected to lead their countries.

Embracing the community As NIU leaders pursue the goals of Vision 2020, they need a strong and vibrant community for internships and service-learning programs, and to attract students and employees, Baker said. He’s met several times with DeKalb Mayor John Rey and was the keynote speaker at Thursday’s DeKalb County Econom-
ic Development Corp.’s Leader Recognition Reception. It’s a relationship DeKalb leaders want to foster, too. In DeKalb’s updated downtown plan, the city and NIU would create a “Communiversity Commons” – a neighborhood that would serve as a transition between the two, Interim City Manager Rudy Espiritu said. “By doing things together, especially in our downtown plan, there’s going to be a real connection, providing amenities to the community that would be beneficial to both parties,” Espiritu said. Baker, who said he’s felt very welcomed by local leaders, agreed. “A strong community,” Baker said, “allows us to recruit and retain faculty, staff and students.”

with a series of projects and goals to make NIU “the most student-centered public research university in the Midwest,” as Peters put it. “Vision 2020 is a good sort of statement that captures NIU’s past aspirations and current aspirations, and President Baker sees that as a good baseline and starting point,” Cunningham said.

Immigration legislation faces obstacles in House By DAVID ESPO and ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The focus of hotly contested immigration legislation swung Friday from the Senate to the House, where conservative Republicans hold power, there is no bipartisan template to serve as a starting point and the two parties stress widely different priorities. “It’s a very long and winding road to immigration reform,” said Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican who said it could be late this year or perhaps early in 2014 before the outcome is known. His own constituents are “very skeptical, mostly opposed,” he said. Supporters of the Senate’s approach sought to rally support for its promise of citizenship for those who have lived in the United States unlawfully, a key provision alongside steps to reduce future illegal immigration. “The Republican Party still doesn’t understand the depth ... of this movement and just how much the American people want comprehensive immigration reform,” Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., said Friday. “We need to make sure they come to this understanding.”
But Rep. Matt Salmon, R-Ariz., said in an interview that any bill that results in citizenship was a nonstarter. He called the approach “patently unfair” to those trying to “do it the legal way.” Within hours after the Democratic-controlled Senate approved its bill Thursday on a 68-32 vote, President Barack Obama telephoned with congratulations for several members of the bipartisan Gang of Eight who negotiated an early draft of the bill that passed. Traveling in Africa, he also called House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California, urging them to pass an immigration bill. Yet not even a firm timetable has been set. The House Republican rank and file is scheduled to hold a closed-door meeting on the issue shortly after returning from a July 4 vacation, and Boehner has said previously he hopes legislation on the topic can be passed by the end of the month. Aides also say it is possible the issue wouldn’t come to the floor until the leadership had successfully resurrected a farm bill that was defeated last week. In contrast to the all-in-one approach favored by the Senate, the House Judiciary Committee has approved a series

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., leave the floor after final passage Thursday in the Senate, at the Capitol in Washington. Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., follows at rear. In remarks to reporters, Graham praised the leadership of Schumer, saying “Senator Schumer’s a worthy successor to Ted Kennedy.” of single-issue bills in recent days, none including a path to citizenship that Obama and Democrats have set as a top priority. One, harshly condemned by Democrats, provides for a crackdown on immigrants living in the United States illegally. Another sets up a temporary program for farm workers to come to the United States, but without the oppor-
Neighbor testifies about Martin-Zimmerman fight By KYLE HIGHTOWER and MIKE SCHNEIDER The Associated Press SANFORD, Fla. – Two neighbors and a police officer gave accounts Friday in George Zimmerman’s murder trial that seemed to bolster the neighborhood watch volunteer’s contention that he was on his back and being straddled by Trayvon Martin during their confrontation. Neighbor Jonathan Good said it appeared the unarmed teen was straddling Zimmerman, while another neighbor, Jonathan Manalo, said Zimmerman seemed credible when he said immediately after the fight that he had shot Martin in self-defense. Officer Tim Smith testified that Zimmerman’s backside was covered in grass and wetter than his front side. All three were called as witnesses for prosecutors who are trying to convict him of second-degree murder. Good, who had perhaps the best view of any witness, said he did not see anyone’s head being slammed into the concrete sidewalk, as Zimmerman claims Martin did to him. Good initially testified that it appeared “there were
strikes being thrown, punches being thrown,” but during detailed questioning he said he saw only “downward” arm movements being made. Zimmerman has claimed that he fatally shot 17-year-old Martin last year in self-defense as the George Miami-area Zimmerman teen was banging his head into the concrete sidewalk behind the townhomes in a gated community. Under prosecution questioning, Good said he never saw anyone being attacked that way during the fight between Zimmerman and Martin. “I couldn’t see that,” Good said moments later while being cross-examined. Good said he heard a noise behind his townhome in February 2012, and he saw what looked like a tussle when he stepped out onto his patio to see what was happening. He said he yelled: “What’s going on? Stop it.” Good testified he saw a person in black clothing on top of another person with “white or red” clothing. He
said he couldn’t see faces but it looked like the person on the bottom had lighter skin. Martin was black and was wearing a dark hoodie. Zimmerman identifies as Hispanic and was wearing a red jacket. Good was back inside calling 911 when he heard a gunshot. “It looked like there were strikes being thrown, punches being thrown,” Good said. Later, under cross-examination, he said that it looked like the person on top was straddling the person on bottom in a mixed-martial arts move known as “ground and pound.” When defense attorney Mark O’Mara asked him if the person on top was Martin, Good said, “Correct, that’s what it looked like.” Good also said the person on the bottom yelled for help. Zimmerman, 29, could get life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. Zimmerman followed Martin in his truck and called a police dispatch number before he and the teen got into a fight. Zimmerman has denied the confrontation had anything to do with race, as Martin’s family and their supporters have claimed.

tunity for citizenship the Senate-passed measure includes. A third, which drew several Democratic votes, requires establishment of a mandatory program within two years for companies to verify the legal status of their workers. The Senate bill sets a four-year phase-in, although supporters of the legislation have also signaled they are agreeable to tighter requirements. A fourth
increases the number of visas for highly-skilled workers. Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., criticized the approach followed so far by House Republicans. “We have taken up a series of small-bore partisan bills that are in some cases bizarre,” she said at a panel discussion hosted by Bloomberg Government and the National Restaurant Association. “We
have not touched the whole issue of how you get 11 million people right with the law.” Also appearing on the panel, Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida said the House must find a solution for the estimated 11 million immigrants now living in the United States unlawfully. “Ignoring that reality does not make it go away,” he said. Lofgren and Diaz-Balart are part of a bipartisan group that has tried unsuccessfully so far to produce legislation roughly comparable to the one drafted by the Gang of Eight in the Senate. In their discussions to date, the lawmakers have agreed to a pathway to citizenship over 15 years, two years longer than the Senate legislation provides. Their efforts at an overall compromise have stumbled over details of a guest worker program and other issues. The situation was far different in the Senate, where the Gang of Eight drafted legislation, shepherded it through the Senate Judiciary Committee and then helped negotiate tough border security requirements that helped swell Republican support. As the measure was passing the Senate on Thursday, members of the Gang of Eight were urging the House to be ready to compromise.
Senators want public answers on NSA surveillance information By RICHARD LARDNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – More than two dozen U.S. senators are calling on the nation’s top intelligence official to make public information about the scope and duration of the National Security Agency’s surveillance program. In a letter sent Friday to
Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, the bipartisan group of lawmakers also want him to provide examples of how the bulk collection of phone records provided unique intelligence. The letter from the 26 senators, organized by Democrat Ron Wyden of Oregon, says they are concerned the gathering of massive of
amounts of data on the communications of ordinary Americans depended on secret interpretations of the Patriot Act. The letter says those interpretations, along with misleading statements from U.S. intelligence officials, prevented American citizens from being able to evaluate the decisions their government was making.

I wrote a critique of that report that the Daily Chronicle published on Aug. 3, 2011. Our criticism of the IPI study was that it compared compensation in the public and private sectors without adjusting for differences in the mix of jobs and job qualifications (education, skill, years of experience) between the two sectors. Studies that adjust for these differences – such as those conducted by the Economic Policy Institute, the National Institute on Retirement Security, the Institute for Research on Labor and Employment, the Center for Retirement Research, and the Congressional Research Service – consistently find, contrary to the findings of the IPI study, that government employees, on average, receive less, not more, in total compensation (salaries + benefits + pensions) than employees doing comparable work in the private sector. The difference in compensation grows as the education, skill, and experience required to do the job increases. In a column his week (“Working for state pays well for some,” page A5, June 26), Scott Reeder wrote, “In a recent study conducted by my colleagues at the
Illinois Policy Institute, salaries for a variety of state jobs were compared with those in the private sector. On average, people holding blue-collar jobs are paid far more working for the state of Illinois than they would if they were working for a private business doing the same job. Putting it bluntly – going to work for the state can be a pretty good deal, particularly if you don’t have a lot of education.“ Reeder wrote this despite the fact I had sent him and others at IPI copies of the Rubin/Suchner letter and a follow-up report I prepared for State Rep. Robert Pritchard explicating the problem with the IPI study and reviewing the research that demonstrates the opposite of the what the IPI concludes. Their propaganda is statistically wrong. At this point, the only thing one can conclude is that Reeder and the policy institute have an agenda to paint Illinois public employees as overcompensated relative to the private sector and are willing to distort the facts to advance that agenda.

Thumbs up: To remaining vigilant against drunken driving. DeKalb police increased their drunken driving arrests by 44 percent, from 168 in 2011 to 242 in 2012. That’s the biggest percentage increase among the top police agencies that responded to the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists’ annual survey. The annual survey also considers the number of DUI arrests per officer in the departments. Locally, 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. Drunken driving can be so destructive, as well as a symptom of other problems, and we applaud DeKalb officers for stepping up their enforcement. Thumbs down: To weather extremes. After the worst drought in decades gripped the area last year, this year we’ve gone in completely the opposite direction. After a spring season that was one of the rainiest in decades, storms in the past week have brought a few more inches of rain to the area and downed trees and power lines as well. The daily installment of rain Friday afternoon seemed to be coming down sideways at one point in DeKalb. Although we could have used some of this rain last year, it would be nice to see blue skies for a week or so. Thumbs up: To Kane County Judge James Hallock, who refused to lower the amount of bail that Benjamin Black of Sycamore must post to be released from jail from $25,000 to $5,000. Black, 28, is accused of aggravated driving under the influence in connection with a Feb. 27 crash in which 11-year-old Matthew Ranken of Sycamore was killed and 18-year-old Teale Noble, of Sycamore, was seriously injured. Black, whose vehicle rear-ended the one that Ranken and Noble were in, was found to have heroin in his system after the crash. The loss the community experienced as a result of the crash has been tremendous, and Black should have to pay a dear price if he wants to walk free before his trial. Thumbs down: To a long summer of baseball. With the Blackhawks’ championship parade having come and gone Friday, fans of Chicago’s pro sports teams are left with nothing but the Cubs and White Sox for weeks. Both teams are having tough seasons, with the Cubs in second-to-last place in the NL Central and the White Sox dead last in the AL Central. But take heart: Northern Illinois football season opens Aug. 31 at Iowa; the Bears opener is Sept. 8 against Cincinnati at Soldier Field. Thumbs up: To the scouts and leaders of Boy Scout Troop 33. Over the decades, members of Troop 33 have traveled all over the country offering aid to places hit by such disasters as tornadoes and hurricanes. The boys bring much-needed supplies and offer labor to clean up and supply distribution efforts. The troop is at it again, readying for a trip to the tornado-ravaged region around Moore, Okla. for a six-day trip. Thumbs up: To Kishwaukee College’s very own “Jeopardy!” champion Tim Anderson, who won three games on the popular show, and walked away with $58,000. Anderson appeared in four episodes that aired earlier this month. A teacher in the modern languages department at Kish College, Anderson described himself as a lifelong fan of the show. “If there was someone who should go play ‘Jeopardy!,’ it was Tim,” his sister Lisa Stich said. Congratulations, Mr. Anderson.

of the U.S. labor market) found that the earnings premium for college graduates has risen substantially over the past several decades and that investment in college “appears to pay off for both the average and marginal student.” The still-strong earnings premium strongly suggests that the demand for skill has not collapsed. After all, if cognitive skills became less valuable in the labor market, wouldn’t one expect wages to fall more for college graduates than for others? Not necessarily, Beaudry and his colleagues argue. They find that while wages for jobs requiring cognitive skills have declined, the shift of high-skilled workers into those jobs has depressed wages for manual workers even more. That’s a provocative argument. Still, it may be that the Beaudry team’s results are sensitive to the way they define “cognitive” jobs and “manual” ones. Also, it’s not entirely clear how much the recent recession has influenced their results. In any case, the findings will do little to calm the nerves of graduates who are anxious to find jobs. The cold comfort I can offer is this: Going to college may still be worthwhile – if not to be sure of qualifying for skilled jobs, then at least to avoid the even worse prospects of those who don’t get a degree.

a place we can ignore Afghanistan is littered with the bones of soldiers from foreign countries. During the past 12 years, the blood of American soldiers has mingled in Afghanistan’s soil with the 19th-century blood of British Redcoats and 20th-century blood from what was then the Soviet’s Union’s Red Army. Others will likely fight and die there in the future. That is the history of Afghanistan. Some would say that is its nature. It is hard to know whether peace talks with the Taliban will change anything. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama tipped his hand and set a deadline for the withdrawal of American troops. Hardened resistance fighters who have battled a better equipped, better trained foe for more than a decade now know that they can simply wait it out. They can buy time with negotiations and cease fires until the Americans, British and other allies leave the Afghans to fend for themselves. Is the Taliban genuinely interested in a political solution after so many years of war? Or are they simply buying time? We suspect the latter. It’s very hard to tell. Michael O’Hanlon of the Brookings Institution said American should approach talks with “low expectations.” He believes the Taliban “expect to win the war once NATO is largely gone in 2015.” There was a time when journalism professors cautioned their students against what they then called “Afghanistanism.” ... Americans turned away from the backward distant land once their mortal enemy was gone. Little did they know that in the not too distant future, they would return to fight and, ironically, their enemy would be some of the same people they supported against the Soviets.

USDA: Wet spring won’t affect predicted corn crop By DAVID PITT The Associated Press DES MOINES, Iowa – The U.S. Department of Agriculture shocked farmers, grain analysts and market traders Friday with a report that shows no reduction in the number of acres planted in corn, despite a soggy spring. The annual June acreage report, based on interviews with thousands of farmers and compared with March’s planting intentions report, is viewed as an accurate indication of what has been planted and provides a gauge of how the crop season is progressing. Three months ago, farmers were expected to plant 97.3 million acres and harvest 89.5 million acres. It was widely expected that the cold and wet Midwest spring – including Iowa, the nation’s leading corn producer – would cut corn acres by 2 million or 3 million acres. But Friday’s USDA report showed planted corn acres rose slightly to 97.4 million and said farmers would harvest 89.1 million acres. Turns out Michigan, Nebraska and
Texas planted more of the crop than expected, offsetting some of the acreage – about 300,000 in some places – lost to puddles in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin. “I am shocked by that,” said Chad Hart, an agriculture economist with Iowa State University. “In my five years in this job that corn planted number is the most surprising number I’ve ever seen.” Many met the report with skepticism. “A lot of corn was replanted which means the yield will be maybe 80 percent of what it would have been if they hadn’t had to replant so I have a lot of trouble with the USDA’s final production bushel estimate,” said 74-year-old Jerry Main, who plants corn and soybeans on about 500 acres near Fairfield in southeast Iowa. He said many farmers had a window to plant around May 24 but then weather turned cold and it rained for nearly a week straight. “The stuff just rotted in the ground,” Main said. He still has standing water in

A corn plant is seen Thursday in a field in Madrid, Iowa. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday farmers will come through with the predicted corn crop despite a wet spring in the Midwest that delayed planting and has left puddles standing in some fields. some of his fields. The USDA said Iowa farmers planted about 200,000 fewer acres in corn than expected in March, a figure Main believes is considerably underestimated. Elsewhere, Kansas was down about 100,000 acres,
Chicago prepares for new concealed-carry gun law By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – This city, where violent street gangs shoot it out dozens of times a week despite some of the nation’s toughest restrictions on guns, now faces a new challenge: Well-meaning residents with the legal right to hit the streets with loaded firearms, whenever they want. As Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn mulls whether to sign off on eliminating the country’s last concealed carry ban, the question in Chicago is whether it will matter in the crime-weary city. Will a place that long had some of the nation’s tightest restrictions on handguns be more at risk? Or will it be safer with a law that can only add to the number of guns already on the street? Neighborhood leaders, anti-crime activists and police officials worry about additional mayhem in Chicago. But other residents, including some who live in Chicago’s more violent areas, believe
more guns will allow them to defend themselves better. “We just had a weekend where something like 48 people were shot, seven died,” said Otis McDonald, 79, one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court tossing out Chicago’s strict gun ban three years ago. “Now law abiding citizens like myself ... can carry them when they want to and not carry them when they don’t want to, and the people out there who will do us harm won’t know when we got them and when we don’t.” At City Hall, where Chicago’s anti-gun campaign has centered for years, the reaction to concealed carry legislation has been relatively quiet. The reasons seem to boil down to this: The city can do little about stopping the law because a federal appeals court ordered Illinois to end its public possession ban by this summer. “We would prefer to have the [gun] bans we’ve always enacted... [but] it’s the best we
could do based upon the mandate we have,” said Alderman Patrick O’Connor. The bill sitting on Quinn’s desk is a hard-fought compromise between conservative downstate lawmakers who opposed most gun restrictions and anti-gun lawmakers from Chicago and other urban areas. The legislation requires state police to issue a concealed-carry permit to any gun owner with a state-issued Firearm Owners Identification card, and who passes a background check, pays a $150 fee and undergoes 16 hours of training. It’s not as stringent as concealed carry laws in California, New York and a handful of others states, which give law enforcement authorities more power to deny permits. But it’s more restrictive than earlier proposals by gun rights advocates, including one that would have superseded all local gun restrictions. For example, it won’t wipe out Chicago and Cook County’s ban on assault weapons.
Minnesota about 300,000, and Wisconsin 150,000. Farmers in other states, however, will more than make up the difference, the report showed, with Nebraska and Texas reporting 300,000 acres more than expected and Michigan showing 200,000 acres more.
Corn prices fell rapidly as the report was released, because it indicated more corn than expected would be available on the market – possibly a record 13.9 billion bushels of corn come harvest. “Expectations were so strong that we were going to
see a reduction in the planted corn acres today that this is definitely a bearish surprise,” Todd Hultman, a grain analyst for Omaha-based DTN, which provides farm market data. “It means we have increased supplies coming this fall.” When supplies are high for a commodity, prices generally are lower. A lower price for corn is good news for those who raise cattle, hogs and poultry and use corn as feed. It also improves profitability for the ethanol industry. But lower prices mean lower profits for farmers who will sell their grain at harvest. Corn for delivery in December fell 24 cents to $5.14. Last year during the drought, corn prices hit records highs exceeding $8 a bushel. “I would say I’m moderately concerned,” Main said. “I frankly will be surprised if we don’t see an improvement in the market before fall. We have a long ways to go and a lot of things can happen yet but after that fall today we’re going to need some rebound in corn prices to make it work.”
Supreme Court ruling a boon for gay couples with foreign spouses By AMY TAXIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – After being interviewed by a federal immigration officer earlier this year, Catriona Dowling was told her Irish spouse would have been given a green card – if she were a man. Now that the Supreme Court has ruled that married gay couples should have equal federal standing with all other married Americans, Dowling is eagerly awaiting the life-changing
approval of the couple’s application. The court’s decision was met with euphoria by binational same-sex couples who were unable to obtain green cards or other immigration benefits awarded to heterosexuals. In some cases, couples moved abroad to stay together, faced the prospect of deportation or hopped from visa to visa to remain in the country legally. The ruling means Dowling and spouse Cathy Davis won’t have to worry when they take their three
children to visit family in Ireland. They can dip into savings to spruce up their Boulder, Colo., home, knowing they’ll be staying there and they can enroll the kids in soccer this fall. “You don’t know how heavy it is weighing on you until it’s gone,” the 55-yearold information technology manager said Thursday, recounting how she and Davis cried when the ruling came down as pajama-clad neighbors stopped by to celebrate the news. “It’s this huge wave of relief.”

Armstrong uninvited, unwanted guest at Tour PORTO VECCHIO, Corsica – Lance Armstrong made himself the uninvited guest at the Tour de France on Friday, coming back to haunt the 100th edition of the race and infuriating riders both past and present by talking at length in a newspaper interview about doping in the sport. Armstrong told Le Monde that he still considers himself the record-holder for Tour victories, even though all seven of his titles from 1999 to 2005 were stripped from him last year for doping. He said his life has been ruined by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency investigation that exposed as lies his years of denials that he and his teammates doped. He also took another swipe at cycling’s top administrators, darkly suggesting they could be brought down by other skeletons in the sport’s closet. None of those comments broke new ground, but in answering questions from Le Monde – a newspaper he scorned when he still was competing – Armstrong ensured that his views on doping at the Tour would have maximum impact in France and couldn’t easily be written off as sour grapes being hurled at the race from afar. The respected daily is very much France’s newspaper of record. Its interview with the rider and his assertion that doping won’t be eradicated from cycling dominated French airwaves ahead of the race start today, causing dismay and anger in the sport desperate to prove that it has turned the page on his era of serial cheating. The Tour’s director, Christian Prudhomme, suggested Armstrong was milking the race’s notoriety to further his own agenda. “This is a very big tournament, just look around: There are 2,300 accredited journalists here, there are cameras everywhere. So if someone wanted to transmit a message, this is the time obviously, especially since everyone likes this kind of controversial statements,” he said. – Wire report

Abby Foulk’s 12-year Storm Dayz career ends as 9-year-old sister Andrea Foulk’s begins By LUKE SRODULSKI lsrodulski@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A short, but forceful storm had just stopped. The softball fields at Sycamore Park had become miniature ponds, and the players at the Storm Dayz tournament were trudging around, waiting for the delay to end. This is Abby Foulk’s 12th year playing in the tournament, and the Kishwaukee Valley Storm pitcher has gained many lasting memories, but this aspect of the tournament has been more consistent than any other. “Rain. Every single year,” Foulk
said. “And it’s what we saw today. The Storm Dayz brings the storm.” Now, she gets to pass the tradition to her sister. As an 18U player and recent Sycamore graduate, this will be Abby’s final year, but it’s just the beginning for 9-year-old Andrea Foulk. But it’s not just the inclement weather that defines Abby’s lengthy tenure within the organization. There are many positive experiences that she won’t soon forget, even after she heads off to play at Waubonsee Community College. “You just make a lot of great friends through it,” Abby said. “Ev-
eryone lives close, so you just bring people over to your house, and you bond over the weekend more than you would at other tournaments.” That camaraderie, along with the competition that she says is better than high school softball, is what led her to convince Andrea to go out for the 10U team. Although in hindsight, “convince” might not be the right word. “I don’t know,” Andrea said, wondering why she tried out. “All I know is you made me!” It’s not a statement that Abby

I put her in the car and said we were going to go for ice cream or something.” It’s no surprise that Andrea was a little apprehensive about the tryout. Not only did she just turn 9, but she also was given the nickname “Squirt” for her small stature.

Prior released from Reds organization
Konerko’s injury unlikely to mean DL stint
ARLINGTON, Texas – Righthander Mark Prior was released from the Cincinnati Reds organization Friday, ending his latest comeback attempt. Prior went to spring training on a minor league contract. He had a 4.66 ERA in seven relief appearances for Triple-A Louisville, but last pitched April 21 because of a right shoulder strain. The 32-year-old Prior last pitched in the majors in 2006, a year before reconstructive shoulder surgery. He also has pitched in the Texas, Boston and New York Yankees minor league systems.
Conn. man arraigned in ex-Patriot’s murder case ATTLEBORO, Mass. – Two men authorities say were in a car with former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez before one of his friends was shot to death were in custody Friday, one charged with illegally carrying a gun and the other accused of being an accessory after murder. Prosecutors, who this week charged Hernandez with murder, haven’t said who fired the shots that killed his friend Odin Lloyd, a Boston semi-pro football player. Carlos Ortiz, who was arrested in Connecticut but was transferred to Massachusetts to face the gun charge, and Ernest Wallace, who walked into a South Florida police station to surrender, were identified earlier as being with Hernandez and Lloyd the night of his shooting death, a prosecutor said.

By MEGHAN MONTEMURRO mmontemurro@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – The White Sox, trying to find a way to get back on track in what is shaping up to be a lost season, can’t afford to have first baseman Paul Konerko out of the lineup. Konerko sat out Friday’s doubleheader against the Indians, the third and fourth games he has missed because of lower right back tightness. Konerko, 37, received six injections before Thursday’s game to help alleviate the inflammation in his back. An MRI taken Wednesday did not reveal any serious ailment in his back beyond the wear and tear of playing 17 years in the majors. Konerko, who spoke for the first time since experienc-
ing the back tightness, said he woke up Monday morning and could barely stand, almost unable to move because his back was “really, really bound up.” “I don’t have the best hips in the world … probably all of it contributes to that,” Konerko said. “So I do get a lot of soreness throughout the year that I kind Paul Konerko of have to stay ahead of. This kind of just came out of nowhere.” Before Friday’s first game, manager Robin Ventura deemed Konerko going on the disabled list as “a long shot.” “Right now it’s day by day,” Ventura said. “But depending on how he feels and if it lingers
Earnhardt sets record to take Kentucky pole SPARTA, Ky. – The questions during NASCAR Sprint Cup qualifying Friday were how many drivers would raise Kentucky Speedway’s record and by how much. Dale Earnhardt Jr. provided the answer of the eight that broke it, clocking 183.636 mph to wrest the mark from Hendrick Motorsports teammate Jimmie Johnson and the pole for tonight’s race. Earnhardt’s speed was nearly 2 mph faster than Johnson’s 181.818 mph last June, which he needed to keep Johnson from keeping the record.
Keselowski wins Nationwide race SPARTA, Ky. – Brad Keselowski took his final lead on the 156th lap and went on to a rain-shortened victory Friday night in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race at Kentucky Speedway. Showers halted the race at lap 170 in the scheduled 200-lap event, but drivers were expecting it to resume before another pocket of rain forced officials to call it off. Keselowski settled for doing victory spinouts, being careful to avoid sliding into the wall on a night mostly spent on firm footing.
NBA draft draws well for ESPN NEW YORK – The NBA draft had its second-largest audience ever on ESPN. The network said Thursday’s event was watched by more than 2.9 million viewers. The only draft on ESPN that drew more was in 2011, when there were 3.2 million. – Wire reports
tic or not, but that’s what I’m shooting for.” Saturday represents an important day for Konerko and the Sox. Konerko plans to swing a bat for the first time since he last played Sunday to see how his back feels. If he still experiences tightness or is unable to let loose while swinging, Konerko admitted that going on the DL would be a legitimate possibility. Konerko doesn’t want to hold the team back by having one less player available if he is sidelined for an extended stretch. “I haven’t tested it really at all,” Konerko said. “But I’ll be honest with them and let them really know. If that’s what needs to be done, that’s what needs to be done, but I don’t want to do that.”

Patriots offer trade for Hernandez jerseys FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots are offering a new jersey to all fans who want to get rid of the one they bought with Aaron Hernandez’s name on it. Hernandez is being held in jail on charges of first-degree murder. He has pleaded innocent. The team has released him and taken all Hernandez jerseys off the shelf at its souvenir store at Gillette Stadium. The team said fans can come to their store at the stadium on the weekend of July 6 and 7 for a free jersey of comparable value.
and goes into the next couple of days, you could be thinking about it just to make sure you get it right.” Konerko hopes he will be back in the lineup Sunday against the Indians, and although he wouldn’t rule out being ready for today’s game, it’s considered a long shot that he will play. He is, however, feeling better than he did earlier in the week. Konerko isn’t worried a few days away from facing live pitching will affect him at the plate. If anything, Konerko said, maybe it will help him. He’s hitting .253 with seven home runs and 30 RBIs in 66 games. “We have a day off Monday, so if I was sore after Sunday I’d have Monday to rest,” Konerko said. “But that’s at least my goal.

White Sox center fielder Alejandro De Aza chases down a double hit by Cleveland Indians batter Jason Kipnis during the eighth inning of the first game of a doubleheader Friday night at U.S. Cellular Field.

GAME 1: INDIANS 19, WHITE SOX 10
Indians sock Sox South Siders blow 5-0 lead By ANDREW SELIGMAN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – This one looked like it would be easy for the White Sox. They got home runs from Adam Dunn and Jeff Keppinger while taking out Trevor Bauer in a five-run first inning and were well on their way to a knockout. It’s just that they were the ones who got floored. Instead of a runaway win, the Sox got trampled by the Cleveland Indians, 19-10, in the first game of a doubleheader Friday. “You just scratch your head,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “You don’t see that coming.” Between Hector Santiago failing to protect an early five-run lead and the mistakes on the field and on the bases, there was plenty that went wrong for the Sox. Jason Kipnis reached base six times and scored four runs, Ryan Raburn
vs. Cleveland, 3:10 p.m. today, WGN, AM-670 homered and drove in four and the Indians rallied for a lopsided win. They picked themselves up after that dreadful first and matched a season high for runs. They also set one with eight doubles while falling one hit shy of their season best with 21 in a game that lasted 4 hours, 2 minutes. Yet despite all that, Cleveland had to dig itself out of a five-run hole after the first inning and hang on after a ninerun lead dwindled to four. Raburn gave the Indians some breathing room with a two-run drive off Ramon Troncoso in the seventh, making it 16-10. He also had a two-run single to break a 5-all tie in the fourth and spark a six-run rally. Kipnis, who grew up in
Northbrook, extended his hitting streak to 10 games and reached safely in his 30th straight game. He had three doubles, drove in two runs and the only out he made was when Alejandro De Aza ran down his line drive to left in the ninth. Mike Aviles added three hits, two runs and two RBIs. Things weren’t looking good for Cleveland after Dunn and Keppinger homered in the first, but in a flash, the Indians turned this one around. They scored five against Hector Santiago in the second and broke it open against Brian Omogrosso (0-2), who allowed nine runs in 2⅓ innings. The Indians sent 10 batters to the plate in the fourth against him, with Raburn’s two-run, bases-loaded single breaking the tie and Drew Stubbs’ RBI triple off the wall in right-center making it 11-5. Omogrosso also gave up run-scoring doubles to Nick Swisher, Yan Gomes and Lonnie Chisenhall in the fifth as the lead grew to 14-5.
CHICAGO – Dewayne Wise’s first experience with an oblique strain came at an inopportune time. The White Sox outfielder was on rehab assignment at Triple-A Charlotte, steadily working back from a right hamstring injury, when he said he felt like he got stabbed in his side during batting practice. Wise, who has been on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 30, hopes he will be back soon. However, even though Wise doesn’t believe it’s a serious oblique strain, there is no timetable for his return. Wise labeled the setback as “really frustrating.” “Nobody wants to be on the DL,” Wise said. “Just seeing your boys out there struggling, you just want to do whatever you can to get back and help. Now there’s another injury, so that’s set me back a while. I’m just trying to keep a good attitude about it, just keep working and try to get better.” Defensive letdown: Going from statistically the best defensive team in baseball last season to one of the worst this season has perplexed manager Robin Ventura. The Sox committed only 70 errors in 2012 – the fewest in the majors – but through 75 games entering Friday they already had 55 errors. Twelve times the Sox have had at least two errors in a game, and they are on pace to finish with 119 errors this season. Given the defense returned almost every starter this season, Ventura has been mystified as to why the Sox are struggling in the field. “They’re the ones that set the standard last year to be able to do this,” Ventura said of the Sox’s defense. “I look at that more than anything else. I know it’s there, but you are scratching your head to see how it got to this point.” Gillaspie back: Before Thursday’s doubleheader, the Sox reinstated third baseman Conor Gillaspie from the paternity list. On Wednesday, Ventura said he expected the Sox to call up another reliever because of the doubleheader. However, the Sox opted to keep third baseman Brent Morel as the 26th man, which Major League Baseball allows for doubleheaders.

Some Wrigley renovations approved CHICAGO – The Cubs have been cleared to move forward with their $500 million renovation of Wrigley Field – except for the large video screen that the team’s chairman says is an essential element. Chairman Tom Ricketts says the outfield Jumbotron and the advertising revenue it would generate are needed to fund the remodeling of the historic ballpark without a public subsidy. The owners of surrounding rooftop clubs that share some of their revenue with the Cubs object to that proposal, saying their views into the park would be blocked. The Commission on Chicago Landmarks approved the team’s overall plans Thursday, including for new signs. But it won’t vote on the video screen or another, smaller outfield sign until July 11 to allow more time for a compromise. – Wire report

WIMBLEDON
Murray, Robson keep Brits happy By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press LONDON – When a 19-stroke exchange ended with Andy Murray’s Wimbledon opponent slapping a forehand into the net, thousands of Centre Court spectators rose in unison. They applauded Murray’s first service break. They screamed for joy. They waved their Union Jacks and Scottish flags. It was only a third-round match, merely 12 minutes Andy Murray a n d t h r e e games old, yet to some that tiny early edge seemed massively meaningful. So imagine the reaction, louder and livelier, when the second-seeded Murray finished off his 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 victory over 32nd-seeded Tommy Robredo of Spain less than two hours later Friday to advance to Week 2. And then, for a moment, try to fathom what would happen if Murray ever were to win the final point of The Championships, as the Grand Slam tournament is known around here, and become the first British man in 77 years to hoist the trophy. “You need to be professional enough to not let that stuff bother you and just concentrate on each match,” said Murray, who has won 20 of his past 21 contests on grass, including runs to last year’s final at the All England Club and a London Olympics gold medal. “I did a good job of that today. I played well. My best match of the tournament, so far.” The locals’ hopes that Murray will follow up his 2012 U.S. Open victory with another major title, this time at Wimbledon, only increased in the aftermath of surprisingly early losses this week by seven-time champion Roger Federer, two-time winner Rafael Nadal and twotime semifinalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. All were seeded in the top six, and all were on Murray’s half of the draw. Their departures mean the most daunting obstacle in Murray’s path – until a potential final
Friday at Wimbledon LONDON – A look at Wimbledon on Friday: Men’s seeded winners: No. 2 Andy Murray, No. 4 David Ferrer, No. 13 Tommy Haas, No. 24 Jerzy Janowicz, No. 26 Alexandr Dolgopolov, No. 28 Jeremy Chardy Men’s seeded losers: No. 15 Nicolas Almagro, No. 29 Grigor Dimitrov, No. 32 Tommy Robredo, Women’s seeded winners: No. 15 Marion Bartoli, No. 19 Carla Suarez Navarro, No. 20 Kirsten Flipkens Women’s seeded losers: No. 7 Angelique Kerber, No. 29 Alize Cornet On court today: No. 1 Novak Djokovic vs. No. 28 Jeremy Chardy; No. 1 Serena Williams vs. Kimiko Date-Krumm; No.4 David Ferrer vs. No. 26 Alexandr Dolgopolov; No. 4 Agnieszka Radwanska vs. Madison Keys; No. 6 Li Na vs. No. 32 Klara Zakopalova; No. 7 Tomas Berdych vs. No. 27 Kevin Anderson; No. 8 Juan Martin Del Potro vs. Grega Zemlja; No. 8 Petra Kvitova vs. No. 25 Ekaterina Makarova; No. 9 Richard Gasquet vs. Bernard Tomic; No. 13 Tommy Haas vs. Feliciano Lopez; No. 14 Samantha Stosur vs. No. 23 Sabine Lisicki; Laura Robson vs. Marina Erakovic
against No. 1-ranked Novak Djokovic, anyway – might very well be surging expectations. “There’s a lot more pressure on me now, with them being out,” Murray acknowledged after compiling 40 winners and only 14 unforced errors against Robredo, taking advantage of the zero-wind conditions under the closed retractable roof. “I mean, I don’t read the papers and stuff. But there are papers in the locker room,” Murray continued with a chuckle, “so you see some of the headlines and stuff. It’s not that helpful.” Nadal’s stunning firstround exit, for example, was viewed mainly through the prism of how that result helped Murray, who could have faced the 12-time major champion in the semifinals. “Adios Rafa. Hello Andy. Wimbledon dreams again,” read a headline in The Times of London. The Daily Mail’s take: “Great start for Andy – Rafa’s out.”

Blackhawks right wing Michael Frolik rides in the 2013 Stanley Cup champion victory parade Friday down Columbus Drive in Chicago.
Willingly or not, everyone caught up in celebration • MUSICK Continued from page B1 Victory noise was everywhere. Air horns, sirens, “Chelsea Dagger,” you name it. A few doors from the parade route, Chicago resident Laura Wakeland tried to focus on her job at Harlan J. Berk Rare Coins. Friendly and funny, she admitted to not being able to name a Hawks player and not watching a game during the playoffs. “I have no idea what a Stanley Cup is,” Wakeland said, “but good for them.” And good for Wakeland for navigating the massive crowds to make it to work. “When I was walking down here from the train, I had to fight people just to get to work,” Wakeland said with a grin. “And I was just like, ‘People, let me get to work already! You have all day to party.’ ” Oh, they knew. It’s just that some people had tasks to complete that did not involve high-fiving anyone wearing red. Take Mark Dalton, a 57-year-old from Glendale Heights who works at Burnham Nationwide across from City Hall. As for Dalton’s clients? Well, they live all over the place. “You’ve still got to do the work,” said Dalton, who’s not much of a hockey fan but did

Fans gather in Grant Park for Friday’s victory celebration in Chicago. watch the final series. “The people in the other states that we’re working for, they’re not involved in this. They don’t feel the vibe. You know what I’m saying?” I know what you’re saying. In 2010, Dalton learned to stay put during the morning of a Hawks parade. Several of his colleagues did not heed his advice this time around as they crossed the street to do business at City Hall. “They went over to do some early work this morning, and now they’re stranded over there,” Dalton said. “That happened to me the last time, so I knew. “I told them, ‘You’re going to get stranded.’ And they went anyway.” And they got stranded.
Matt Heinlich almost got stranded, but he relied on underground passage to get from the Richard J. Daley Center to his law office at 30 N. LaSalle. Hours earlier, his train ride on the way to work was unlike any other in his professional life. Heinlich wore a suit and tie. No, his suit jacket did not have “Toews – 19” stitched on the back. “I was sticking out like a sore thumb,” said Heinlich, 29, of Geneva. But Heinlich is a Hawks fan, so he understood. He planned to sneak a peek from his bosses’ corner office as players paraded down Washington 21 floors below. Dalton understood, too: “It’s good to see a team from
Chicago do something.” Achim also embraced the craziness going past the front steps of the Art Institute. She’s from Cluj-Napoca. Have you heard of it? It’s in the center of Transylvania. “We like sports,” Achim said. “It’s not that we don’t like sports. “But it’s crazy how people celebrate the victory. We celebrate it, too, but not like this: The whole city. Everyone dressed up. “We usually celebrate after the game – one hour, or two, or the whole night. It depends how important the victory is.” This victory was pretty important. Even Wakeland realized that, even if the parade left her with more questions than answers. “It made me wonder, how many of these people are supposed to be at work?” Wakeland said. “Is this like the 1-point-whatever million that are unemployed? I don’t know. I don’t know who these people are. “At the same time, I think we all deserve a break and we all deserve a little fun. I’m sure if there are drinks later on, I’ll partake.” Cheers to that.

Players salute fans for their passion throughout run • BLACKHAWKS Continued from page B1 “I can’t think of a better team, a better bunch of guys to represent this city,” said Hawks captain Jonathan Toews, who hoisted the Stanley Cup over his head on his way to the lectern during Friday’s rally. “Hard-working guys, down-to-earth guys who go out and play for each other every single shift – [they] represent this city and what it means.” Players, coaches and other team personnel traveled from the United Center to Grant Park by double-decker bus, passing down city streets where confetti dropped from buildings and where fans snapped photos on their cell phones and digital cameras. Friday’s celebration was the culmination of a week that started in Boston, where the Hawks finished off the Bruins before returning to Chicago early Tuesday morning. Conn Smythe Trophy winner Patrick Kane was one of several players to speak at Friday’s rally, fresh off his appearance on “Late Night With David Letterman.”

John Marhofke, 10, and Ray Ames, 10, of Algonquin wait for a rally celebrating the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup victory Friday in Grant Park. Kane awarded Crawford with the team-issued championship belt, awarded to the top star after each game. Despite being honored as the best player in the playoffs, Kane said Crawford was the team’s top performer in series wins over Minnesota, Detroit, Los Angeles and Boston. Kane received one of the biggest ovations during Friday’s rally. “What’s up, Chicago?” Kane said as he approached the lectern. “The only reason
this is fun is because of all you guys coming out and supporting this team. It makes hockey fun. There’s a saying I said throughout the playoffs that represents this team perfectly: That’s hockey, baby.” With that, Kane handed the championship belt to Crawford, who used a series of profanities before leaving the stage with a parting shot, bringing more cheers from the capacity crowd standing in front of him. “No one will ever take this
away from us,” Crawford said. “We’re the champs.” The Hawks’ season started with an NHL-record 24-game points streak and included winning the President’s Trophy, awarded to the team with the league’s best record. After falling behind 3-1 in the Western Conference semifinals to rival Detroit, the Hawks responded with series wins over Los Angeles and then Boston to capture another Stanley Cup championship. Coach Joel Quenneville said his team was one filled with players committed to one another and to the franchise. He then paid homage to Chicago, saying, “We’re all fortunate to play in a special place like Chicago.” Players echoed Quenneville’s comments to loyal fans, who battled heavy crowds and a warm summer breeze that filled Grant Park throughout Friday’s celebration. “For the guys who were here in 2010, we didn’t think there was a chance we could outmatch that performance by the fans,” Toews said. “But you guys did it somehow. This shows how unbelievable this city is.”

With a family full of dedicated athletes, it’s understandable she dreams big. “Our dad is very much about shooting for the stars,” Abby said. “He’s a very big supporter, so he probably said she should shoot for somewhere like UCLA.” Athletically, the sisters are mirror images of each other. Both started playing for Storm very early. Both have college softball on the brain. And both have an undeniable love for the game.
That’s why they are so close. The age difference may be wide, but the bond between them is strong, even for a pair of siblings. “We are extremely close,” Abby said. “We talk about pretty much everything. It sounds kind of cliché, but she’s one of my best friends.” That strong relationship, combined with a little big-sister pressure, is why the name Foulk will be staying with the KW Storm for a long, long time.

Staten Island ferry
Lower Manhattan waterfront
Governors Island
10 options for seeing the Statue of Liberty By BETH J. HARPAZ
T
AP Travel Editor
he Statue of Liberty is scheduled to reopen to visitors on July Fourth for the first time since Superstorm Sandy. But for those who just want a photo op with the statue, there are many other vantage points, from Red Hook, Brooklyn, and Governors Island, to a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. The Staten Island ferry takes you right past the statue for free, while those on bigger budgets can reserve a room with a view at the luxury Ritz-Carlton hotel. Here are 10 ways to get a great look at the Statue of Liberty, starting with the cruises that resume service to Liberty Island on July Fourth.
STATUE CRUISES TO LIBERTY ISLAND Statue Cruises – www.statuecruises. com – is the sole operator for boats that take visitors to Liberty Island, where the Statue of Liberty is located. Boats are scheduled to resume departing from the Battery in Lower Manhattan on July 4, when Liberty Island reopens to the public for the first time since Superstorm Sandy last October. The statue itself was not damaged by the storm, but landing docks and infrastructure, including electrical, phone and sewage systems, required months of repair work by the National Park Service, which operates the statue. Ellis Island also was damaged by the storm and no reopening date has been set, so cruises to the Statue of Liberty will not be stopping there yet as they did in the past, NPS spokesman John Warren said. But Warren added that the park service is “hopeful” that boats to Liberty Island will soon resume departures from
Liberty State Park in New Jersey. You can buy Statue Cruises tickets in person at the Battery, but the cruises do sell out, so advance online purchase is strongly recommended. There are three types of tickets: Access to the statue’s crown, $20 ($17 for seniors, $12 for ages 4-12); or access to the pedestal of the monument or the grounds of Liberty Island, $17 ($14 for seniors, $9 ages 4-12). Visit www.nps.gov/stli/planyourvisit/statue2012reopening.htm for more information.
BROOKLYN BRIDGE
STATEN ISLAND FERRY
Governors Island, a former Coast Guard facility now used for public recreation, offers inviting lawns, old forts, concerts, art exhibits and food vendors, along with great views of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. Get there by ferry, weekends through Sept. 29 from Manhattan or Brooklyn, then walk or bike around the island, www.govisland. com/html/visit/directions.shtml.
Take the subway to Bowling Green or South Ferry and hop on a Staten Island ferry for a free ride across New York Harbor. The boats run 24 hours a day. There’s always a crowd of tourists on deck taking photos as the boat passes the Statue of Liberty.
OTHER CRUISES Many vessels offer sightseeing cruises of New York Harbor and Manhattan that sail right past the Statue of Liberty. They include the Circle Line, Manhattan by Sail’s schooners, Hornblower Cruises, Spirit Cruises, New York Water Taxi and Bateaux New York. Some offer live music or fancy lunch or dinner cruises that can top $100.
BATTERY AND LOWER MANHATTAN To see the Statue of Liberty without getting on a boat, just head to the southern tip of Lower Manhattan, an area known as the Battery (subway to South Ferry or Bowling Green). While you’re there, consider exploring other parts of Lower Manhattan, which includes the financial district and the 9/11 Memorial. NYC & Company, the city’s official tourism agency, offers a guide at www.nycgo.com/lower-manhattan.
A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the classic New York experiences. In addition to giving you a close look at the bridge’s Gothic arches and delicate filigree of cables, it offers a magical view of Lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty. To get the full impact of the skyscraper canyon coming into view, take the subway to the Brooklyn side (A or C to High Street) and walk back across the bridge.
GOVERNORS ISLAND
RED HOOK, BROOKLYN One of the best views of the Statue of Liberty is from Red Hook, an up-andcoming waterfront neighborhood in Brooklyn. A cruise terminal where the Queen Mary 2 homeports is located in one corner of the neighborhood, and lots of popular eateries like the Fort Defiance Bar and Red Hook Lobster Pound line the main street, Van Brunt. Oddly enough, one of the best spots for viewing the Statue of Liberty is from the parking lot of the local Fairway supermarket, 480-500 Van Brunt, as well as from Fairway’s rear patio, which sells readyto-eat fare. Another great vantage point is from Red Hook’s Louis Valentino Jr. Pier and Park, on Ferris Street between Coffey and Van Dyke, one of the few places where you can get a rare head-on view of the statue, instead of from the side. A free ferry runs weekends this summer to Red Hook from Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan, www.nywatertaxi.com/
tours/redhook. Red Hook also is fun to explore by bike, and it’s one of those rare neighborhoods where you can often find street parking.
MUSEUM OF JEWISH HERITAGE – A LIVING MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust at 36 Battery Place has tall picture windows that look directly out onto the Statue of Liberty. While you look, you can listen to the museum’s “Voices of Liberty” sound installation, in which Holocaust survivors, refugees and others discuss why they chose to make the U.S. their home, www.mjhnyc.org/.
RITZ-CARLTON NEW YORK, BATTERY PARK The majority of guest rooms at the Ritz-Carlton’s Battery Park hotel offer views of the Statue of Liberty, and they even come equipped with telescopes for an up-close look. For July Fourth weekend, prices for a room with a king or two double beds start at $420, going up to $7,500 for a 2,100-square-foot (195-square-meter) suite; www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/NewYorkBatteryPark/Default.htm.
LIBERTY STATE PARK, NEW JERSEY This waterfront park on the New Jersey side of the harbor offers the closest view you can get of the statue without sailing past on a boat or stepping onto Liberty Island. There are three ways to get there: Drive; take the PATH train from Manhattan, followed by a light rail and a half-mile walk into the park; or take a ferry from the World Financial Center in Lower Manhattan, www.libertylandingferry.com. While you’re there, check out the Liberty Science Center, a great museum for kids, www.lsc.org.

FAMILY TIME | Moving? Navigate peak season like a pro
Tip of the week Summer is busiest time of the year for home and business moves. In fact, an estimated 65 percent of the 43 million Americans who are moving this year will do so in the period between Memorial Day and Labor Day. What does that mean for those with a move in the immediate future? Considering the fact that moving is ranked just behind death and divorce in terms of life’s most stressful events, a summer move might mean stocking up on extra stress balls and taking a few extra deep breaths along the way. “Whether you are hiring help or doing it yourself, you can expect a fair amount of anxiety,” says Sean E. Burns,
a psychologist with Counseling Associates of West Michigan. “It’s helpful to simply recognize that it’s normal that your life is out of order during this period. Once moved, it’s important to resume life’s routines as soon as possible. Don’t worry about getting everything in place right away; put a priority on resuming your workouts and family trips to the park, and the rest will take care of itself over time.” A summer move also means that you need to plan further in advance and be more flexible with your move dates. “We moved 1.3 homes or businesses per minute last summer,” says Randy Shacka, president of Two Men And A Truck. So how do you begin to navigate the waters of the busiest moving season? Shacka suggests the following: • Kids rule: If hiring a sitter isn’t an option on move day, get the kids involved as “supervisors.” Help them with a simple checklist or turn a box into a “treasure chest” of their own belongings so the move becomes a positive experience for them. • Free Fido: If watching the kids
weren’t enough, try managing the dog as she tries to skirt through every open door. Ask a family friend to watch the animals, or consider boarding them for the day. The money spent is a good investment in reducing your overall stress. • Space it out: Often homeowners will move all their furniture into one room to save time for their movers. This can be a cost savings for boxes, but when it comes to furniture it can slow the move down. A good moving company will use stretch wrap to protect furniture, so when packed tightly together into one room the pieces have to be moved twice to properly prepare for the move. Go ahead and consolidate boxes, but save yourself the hassle and leave furniture where it lives. • Picture this: Photos are often the last thing to be packed because it seems safer to just leave them hanging until they are ready to be moved. In truth, they often delay a move because movers have to remove them to get furniture past. This time ask your movers to provide you with moving blankets in advance and pack your

‘Shrek’ was fantastic
Thanks for supporting Tag Days
To the Editor: Wow! I am writing this article to express my appreciation for the gem of a community theater we have at Stage Coach Players in DeKalb. I was in the audience for “Shrek, the Musical” on Sunday, June 16. The wealth of talent and dedication displayed by everytone involved was absolutely incredible. I would encourage everyone to avail themselves of the opportunity to attend and support this fantastic theater. There are several productions left in the current season, with other special ones throughout the year.
To the Editor: Approximately 1,000 people in Illinois have ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease or motor neuron disease, and about 250 more are diagnosed each year. The disease may seem relatively rare, but we find many people know someone who has been affected by the disease. At the Les Turner ALS Foundation, we are working toward the day when no one is affected by the disease. We are dedicated to treating and eliminating ALS through research, patient services, education and advocacy. During National ALS Awareness Month in May, hundreds of Les Turner ALS Foundation volunteers participated in Tag Days drives, collecting donations and raising ALS awareness. The Tag Days drive in Sycamore was a success, raising nearly $5,400. We thank Robin Yeager for her efforts as the local Tag Days captain and are deeply appreciative of the people who supported the cause. Tag Days drives were held in 29 communities and volunteers collected nearly $80,000. To those who donated through Tag Days and to those who served as the manpower behind this effort, thank you. Your support allows us to continue providing help and hope to people with Lou Gehrig’s disease.
To the Editor: My granddaughter enjoyed a random act of kindness the other night at Tom and Jerry’s restaurant in Sycamore. While filling up her pink lemonade, she asked me for change for the gumball machine. I told her I hadn’t looked yet when a gentleman put 50 cents down next to us. She was thrilled. I was thrilled. We thanked him. He left. My granddaughter asked me why he did that and I told her it was a random act of kindness. So, to the gentleman and all others who perform random acts of kindness ... thank you!

Master Gardeners offer a checklist for July By BARBARA LINDHOLM
HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW?
DeKalb County Master Gardener Here’s your gardening checklist for July.
Woody plant care Newly planted roses, shrubs and trees should receive at least 1 inch of water per week. This is especially important during the hotter months. Water sprouts growing vertically on tree branches should be pruned out. Roses can be fertilized with a 20-20-20 fertilizer late this month. Do not fertilize after Aug. 1. Watch for and remove Japanese beetles on roses as they begin to appear in July. If they are present in
large numbers, spraying may be necessary. Also, monitor for blackspot and remove affected leaves.
Annual and perennial care Annual hanging baskets will need to be watered every day. Cascading petunias can be pruned weekly by removing the longest stem. For a successful, second flowering, shear back delphiniums, salvia, catmint and decorative geraniums. Continue to pinch out asters, mums and fall sedums
for fall bloom. Water your garden early in the morning for less evaporation. Daylily seedheads should be removed immediately to conserve plant energy.
Lawn care In July, lawns need 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water per week. Grass should be mowed to a height of 2 1/2 to 3 inches for the hotter part of the summer. Fertilizer and herbicides are not recommended for use this month. Fertilize in the fall.
Fruit, vegetable and herb care Crabapple, plum, apple,
peach and apricot trees should have all ground level suckers pruned below soil level. Harvest garlic and onions and begin the drying process. Monitor tomatoes during hot weather and provide them with an even supply of moisture for best results. Seeds for fall crops such as beans, broccoli, spinach, cool-season lettuce and cabbage may be sown late in July. Harvest herbs to use fresh or dry.
July tip This gardening season has been a bit difficult. Spring brought plenty of rain, but also brought high winds and severe cold. Many of our plants were
damaged or lost due to these weather conditions. On July 13, the DeKalb Master Gardeners will present their sixth annual Garden Walk and Plant Sale. This will provide a good opportunity to replenish lost or struggling plants in your garden. Perennials, annuals, roses, shrubs and trees will be available for sale. The Garden Boutique area will feature a collection of items related to the garden. The very popular, wooden obelisks will again be offered this year in three sizes while supplies last. Eight beautiful gardens will be on display for the Garden Walk. Visiting Garden Walk sites offers a great
chance to get ideas for you own garden. Host gardeners will be available and will talk to you about their gardens and also answer any questions that you might have. Both the Garden Walk and the Plant Sale are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. rain or shine.
• The Master Gardeners are available to answer questions from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday at the University of Illinois Extension DeKalb County office located in the Farm Bureau Center for Agriculture, 1360 W. Prairie Drive in Sycamore. Call 815-758-8194 or email DeKalb_mg@extension.uiuc.edu. Walk-ins are welcome.

KishHealth Foundation accepts gift for new wing KishHealth Foundation, on behalf of Valley West Community Hospital, received a gift from the DeKalb County Community Foundation for the hospital’s new patient wing at the Hard Hat Donor Appreciation event on June 6. KishHealth Foundation’s Heart of the Hospital campaign is raising $1.36 million for the new patient wing. “The DeKalb County Community Foundation, which enhances the quality of life throughout DeKalb County in partnership with philanthropic citizens, is pleased to support this important project to enhance the availability and quality of patient-centered healthcare in the region,” Dan Templin, executive director of the Community Foundation, said in a news release. DCCF works with a number of local organizations, working to build strong communities throughout DeKalb County. “We’re very grateful to all of our donors to the Heart of the Hospital campaign, and especially to local philanthropic organizations like
the DeKalb County Community Foundation, who know how important it is to invest money back into the community,” Marcy Rubic, KishHealth Foundation executive director, said in the release. Over the years, donations have allowed Valley West to keep pace with medical advances with investment in new equipment and technology. The most recent additions include the HUGS infant security system and new diagnostic ultrasound. Funds have been donated by community members who share a commitment for maintaining the reputation as a progressive community hospital and health system. KishHealth Foundation raises funds for Valley West Community Hospital, Kishwaukee Community Hospital, DeKalb County Hospice, and the Center for Family Health. To learn more about the Valley West building project, please contact KishHealth Foundation at www.kishhealthfoundation.org or by calling 815-848-9954.

Oak Crest crowns its new king and queen Each year residents of Oak Crest DeKalb Area Retirement Center go to the ballot box to cast their vote for king and queen. This year, Merle Sawyer and Gene Grosch were elected. Their year-long reign will include appearances at community events and programs. Sawyer moved to Oak Crest in August 2004 and Grosch in March 2008. The coronation took place at the “Juke Box Memories” spring dance as other residents, family and friends looked on. The 2012-2013 king and queen, Dick and Lou Cole, passed along their crowns with their warmest wishes for the coming year. The Sycamore High School Key Club and Interact Club participated in planning the dance, as they have done for many dances throughout the

8ASTROGRAPH By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association
TODAY – In the year ahead, you are likely to have some wonderful opportunities to assert yourself. Don’t allow yourself to stand timidly on the sidelines, waiting for someone to toss you a few bones. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You should be able to weather any financial problems if you’re able to manage your resources prudently. Take care not to buy anything you don’t need, or you’ll go broke very quickly. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You’re inclined to be too assertive in your demands, so it’s important to use moderation in your tactics. Harshness will be counterproductive. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Organize your time by delegating certain assignments that you’re unable to handle on your own. The more efficient the assistance you can get, the better. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – This is one of those days when you’re likely to fare better doing business with total strangers than you will with your regular sources. Broaden your horizons. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It’s important that you manage things effectively, or you could end up losing ground. When you make any gains, be sure to consolidate your accomplishments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – It would smart to walk away from potential complications that could quickly become insurmountable. Solutions are likely to be found through those who oppose you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Be protective of your position, especially when it comes to an important joint endeavor. If there is any trouble, it could be every person for him- or herself. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – To negotiate an effective agreement, there must be parity between parties. It won’t stand the test of time if it’s a good deal for you but not for anyone else. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t delegate important tasks to someone who might not be able to perform up to your expectations. Take the long view, and do things right. ARIES (March 21-April 19) – In hopes of making a good impression, you could be more generous than you should or need be. It’s plain foolish to think that you can buy your way to popularity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Domestic issues and demands could be much heavier than you’re prepared to handle. Even if you do more than is expected, you’re not likely to satisfy everyone. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – It’s best that you don’t discuss your plans before you have a chance to implement them. If you can’t live up to your claims, you’ll end up feeling like a failure.

Love is a one-way street for cautious teen girl Dear Abby: I’m 15 and have been dating this guy for two weeks. I have known him for three years. I really like him and he makes me happy. He has already told me he loves me, but I don’t say it back because I’m not going to say it until I’m absolutely sure I do. I know it bothers him, but Abby, am I right for not saying it back? Please answer fast because I need your help. – Teen in New York Dear Teen: You are absolutely right. Although you have known this young man for three years, now that you are dating, the character of your relationship has changed. If he seems hurt that you’re not saying “I love you” back, just tell him you need time because this is all new to you. It’s truthful. Dear Abby: I finished college a year ago and officially moved out of my parents’ house. I then moved across the country for a job. For the past three months I have been dating this great guy. I never dated as a teenager, and while I talk to my parents frequently on the phone, I have yet to mention him because I’m shy about it and don’t know how they would react to me dating. I don’t want the relationship to go on for months and
DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips not tell them because I feel like they will treat it as if I’m a teenager dating for the first time. This is a serious adult relationship and not like a teen’s first boyfriend. How do I tell them? – Adult Relationship in Arizona Dear Adult: While you’re not experienced, you’re no teenager. Your parents can minimize the importance of your relationship only if you allow them to. Granted, you are a late bloomer – but you are also an adult. The longer you keep this a secret, the harder it will be for you to open up. One way to introduce the subject would be to start saying “we” when you talk about where you’re going and what you’re doing. If they ask who the “we” is, you can then tell them you met a man named “John” a short while ago, that he seems nice, that you are seeing him, etc. Be prepared for questions and don’t be defensive. They should be overjoyed at the news you are dating. Dear Abby: I’m 13 and read your column every day. My
parents fight a lot. When they fight, I try to get in between them and keep it down. It’s not very effective, though. I don’t want their fighting to leak out. Therapy doesn’t seem possible. Do you have some tips to keep them from fighting with each other? I’m an only child and don’t have any relatives who live nearby. – The Referee Dear Referee: Parents fight for many reasons, none of them having to do with you. The problems could be lack of money, job stress or something in their relationship with each other that isn’t working. If it were possible for you to fix their marriage, I would advise you how to do it, but the only people who can do that are your parents themselves – if they are willing. If their fighting escalates to violence, rather than put yourself in the middle, you should call the police. Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for eight years. When we married, we both drank and smoked. My husband quit smoking five years ago, and I have continued to smoke off and on. If he catches me with a cigarette it becomes an argument, and it’s either I quit or we’re done!
I love my husband, but I find it difficult to be honest about this. I don’t see the big deal if I smoke a cigarette. He sometimes makes me feel like a teenager hiding it from my parents! Any advice? – Closet Smoker in Wisconsin Dear Smoker: Surely you know that smoking isn’t good for you, and it upsets your husband because he loves you. This is less about a contest of wills than the fact that you are addicted to nicotine and can’t stop using. You’re an adult, not a naughty teenager, so stop acting like one. The cigarette is not your friend; your husband is. When you’re finally ready to see it that way and overcome the habit, your physician can help you. If you won’t do it for yourself, understand that after a former smoker has quit, the smell of secondhand smoke is extremely offensive. Or worse, it can tempt the former smoker to resume. Dear Abby: Since I was a teenager I have always had an appreciation of and love for anything vintage. When my mother wasn’t able to sell her white milk-glass items in a rummage sale, I asked if I could please have them to display in an antique china cabinet. My husband and I
have admired the pieces, and I love knowing that they were once my mother’s. My brother, who has never had any interest in vintage items and has a home that looks like a hoarder lives there, wants one of the pieces because of an old picture of him near the piece. I guess he must be feeling nostalgic. Mother feels I should give it to him since he wants it. I am torn as to why I must part with the piece to just be placed in a box – or worse. We enjoy all of the pieces and I’m feeling selfish. What should I do? – Appreciates Anything Vintage Dear A.A.V.: Listen to your mother. The milk glass was hers to begin with. It won’t hurt you to let that one piece go, and the reason your brother would like to have it seems valid. Surely family harmony is as important to you as your glass collection. Because you are having difficulty letting go, let me help you. One, two, three – GIVE!

Berries are nutritious, loaded with antioxidants Dear Dr. K: Berry season is here again, and I keep hearing that berries are healthy. What’s in them that makes them so good for you? Dear Reader: Here in the Northeast, we’re enjoying strawberries and looking forward to raspberries, blueberries and even blackberries further down the road. Berries are perhaps the easiest way to follow the fruit part of the “eat more fruit and vegetables” advice you hear all the time, including from me. Berries naturally come in bite-sized portions. They’re sweet but have a nice low calorie count, partly because they contain a lot of water. If you don’t need to watch your calories – yes, there are people who are born thin – you
ASK DR. K Anthony L. Komaroff can “pig out” on them. (Just don’t sprinkle much sugar on them.) Berries contain vitamins (C and a little bit of E, because of the seeds) and some lesser-known nutrients. But they also, somewhat surprisingly, contain a fair amount of fiber. A cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber, which is more fiber than you’ll find in a serving of oatmeal. But what makes berries stand out nutritionally (and visually) are substances called anthocyanins. These
substances give berries their vivid red, blue and purplish colors. Anthocyanins are antioxidants, which keep oxygen ions and other unstable molecules from damaging DNA, messing with cells’ energy-making machinery, stirring up inflammation in the body and having a variety of other harmful effects. Vitamin supplements with antioxidants in them have generally not been proven to benefit your health as many had hoped. However, there’s still a lot of evidence that antioxidants are good for you, and foods that naturally contain antioxidants are thought to promote better health. Anthocyanins are concentrated in the skin of berries (as well as other fruits). In
general, the more intense the color, the higher the anthocyanin content. So blueberries and blackberries usually contain more anthocyanins than strawberries or raspberries. And wild berries have more antioxidants than their larger, paler, domesticated relations. Raspberries also contain a substance called ellagitannin, which imparts flavor and has antioxidant properties that add to the effects of anthocyanins. Be sure to wash your berries right before eating them. Berries can harbor viruses, bacteria and other pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses. For me, the best way to start a day is with a bowl of fresh, delicious berries. In
fact, that’s what I had for breakfast today – with toast and coffee. I have a patient who is very knowledgeable about food and reportedly a good cook. She once chastised me for writing about how healthy certain foods were. “The point you should be emphasizing is that they are delicious, because they are. The fact that they’re also healthy is the icing on the cake.” She’s right. And berries are healthier than the icing on the cake.
